I'll have a proper comment in a few days, Ang, but I'm commenting now so I can find this chapter easily when I'm ready to read it. Hope you don't mind.
(I was all excited to see you had updated, but given that I'm attending a funeral tomorrow, I think I'd best save it for another day.)
Three months later, I finally got to read this.porkwithbonesNovember 18 2012, 17:02:13 UTC
(I was right. Reading this when you published it would have been too much. It was almost too much even now.)
You've done a great job here of conveying grief, and of the slow growth of emotional maturity for a man who has been very self-centered for most of his life. I especially love the details of Rhys's hair and stubble. Your storytelling through pictures is particularly strong, with the party, and the cell phones, and the body language throughout the chapter.
Hey, so, I am really crappy about commenting but I think at the end of this particular story arc is the best time for me to, anyway, given how much I knew about it in advance
( ... )
I kind of figured. It's really hard to comment on something without giving everything away *nods*
I have to laugh whenever you refer to it as "Rhys' Sulk" because if it were any other character, it would be legitimate grieving. I don't blame Rhys for thinking that he'd never have to deal with the death of a child because, really, who does think that they would? I'm glad that Eden didn't leave him, too. That would have made things much worse, I think. They'll be fine, eventually. Just because they made amends and he said the "L" word doesn't mean that they still won't be grieving over Quinn. They'll just do it together.
On one hand, I agree about Puck. On the other hand, he totally asked for it. Puck is sort of arrogant. Not unbearably so, but it's still there just a tiny bit. The hardest part about that scene, though, was having Titania say that Quinn was "superfluous" because nobody wants to hear that.
Yeeaaahh. Alexander needs to be dealt with. only have vague ideas on how to handle it.
I can't really say more since you know how I feel about everything because we talked about it and I read it all or had it read to me. And to all of you out there I have just one thing to say, "Neener, Neener, Neener!"
Thank you so much! Staging can be such a pain sometimes, but I think the end product is worth it. I'm glad you think so, too!
Yeah, Puck is always going to have that on his mind :(
Gosh I hope so. I'm kind of "meh" about everything regarding The Sims at the moment, but I'm vaguely sketching out how the next chapter and the next arc are going to play out *nods*

And the pictures were really well done. ^_^

Yay Cass! You go girl! :D
Poor Erin, what an awful position to be stuck in. Poor, poor Puck--should not have asked about Quinn's death; he's going to regret THAT forever. DDD:
I hope this chapter being done means you find it easier to write again.
