This is suburb! A real achievement and something really different in the fandom - so enjoyable to read. Heart-wrenching (Lang) and amusing (Violet, which might well be my favourite!) in places at the same time. Awesome work!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this.

The prompt got me thinking about the characters in new ways, which was both interesting and freeing, in a way. I very much enjoyed doing the story-building behind each letter.

I think Violet's is my favourite letter - it seemed so perfectly her.

What broke my heart, though, was the Bransons, and how they bookended the story. Heartbreaking.

Thank you for leaving your thoughts!

Violet is an entertaining character all right. It's quite interesting to see which parts of this grab different people.

Aww, this was sadly beautiful. It made me long for the rest -- Thomas, Daisy, and Matthew and Mary especially. Maybe you'll do a sequel!

Thanks!
Hmm, a sequel? I make no promises, but I will toss the idea in with the plot bunnies and see if anything comes of it.
