Awwww.

Lovely.

Such a range of emotions in this one. It made me sniff a couple of times (both in sadness and happiness), giggle, smile, sigh happily and just generally feel very warm and contented.

Mrs. Mallard is a force with which to be reckoned - most definitely. Hee. Well done Ducky's mother.

A super story.

[periwinkle27]

Gee, it wasn't even meant for a hanky award. The request was for angst with a happy ending.

Thank you

*Smiles*

Well intention or not, it did have me sniffling. So kudos to you.

[periwinkle27]

By the end I was so wrepped up in it that I think I burned out emotionally. I'll have to reread it in a week or so.

Lovely icon

Very nice.

You had me chuckling in a few places.

[periwinkle27]

Thanks. I'm beginning to think I'm incapable of writing a story withour some jokes in it, althhough my one for BOLO #2 comes close.

[nakeisha]

Oh, I don't know. It made me chuckle at times :-)

[periwinkle27]

You notice the longer my stories the more serious?

[ashley_pitt]

well done.
I loved the debate that was going on in Ducky's oh so analytical mind.
Mother Mallard is quite the perceptive one, eh?

[periwinkle27]

Thank you so much. Sometimes it's the people that seem to understand the least that actually know the most, isn't it?

[kalliekat]

Oh thankyou so much! it's lovely, and just what i wanted. and i love Mrs Patterson, and the corgi's, and i love love love cats, so the kitten was perfect!!! and Dcucky and Jethro. in my other universe, all is well with the world!!!! thankyou!!!

[periwinkle27]

You are so welcome. My beta wwanted me to play up the cat, but I misunderstood her and played up the dogs instead. To be honest, the only reason the kitten appeared on the doorstep was to fill one of your prompts. Like how I snuck it in?

Hugs Mrs. Mallard! (And you) She could see that those boys just needed a nice gentle kick in the pants.

[periwinkle27]

Thanks. Mrs. Mallard is fun to write.
