Two motherless girls trying to put clothes on cranky gnomes and two widowers, drinking themselves out of their grief.

Very sad but there's a bit of hope there that in time, the grief will ease.

I'm glad that that comes through. :)

Oh, this is lovely and bittersweet.

This exchange really got me:
"Is your daddy silly?"
"Not anymore."
"I'm very sad, too."

*hugs you*

Little girls trying to please people when they're sad, and fathers not knowing what to do felt very familiar when I was writing.

Sweet and charming! I love how you used such under-utilized characters in such an uniquely original way.

[iulia_linnea]

I'm so glad to know that; thank you! :D

Oh wow, this is really wonderful, in its sad way. I love how you portrayed this terrible link between them, and their fathers. So nicely done!

Thank you so much! :D
