I love love love how realistic your coffee shop is in this piece. I feel like I'm right there smelling and hearing everything that's happening. Great job!

[winebabe]

Oh wow, thank you so much! :-) I guess I can attribute that to the fact that I worked in a coffee shop over the summer...like 3 years ago lol. But it's something that really sticks with you, I suppose!

Aww those two are cute. They're hesitant and at the same time kind of comfortable around each other. There's a nice familiarity there.

I loved the pacing of this, how you include the workings of the coffee shop and how sleepy Matthias is and his break to hang out. It did make me want coffee too.

That sounds like a fun paper. To read at least. I don't think I'd dig having to research it.

(And great music choice ;) My sister played me that song the other day.)

Thank you for reading! :D Henry and Matthias are probably my favorite couple. I plan to write many more pieces involving them!

Because my creativity has limits, that's actually the research paper I wrote for my literature course a few years back, haha. It really was not very fun having to research it, only because of how many Victorian novels I had to read in a short time period to get the literature side of the comparison.

(Isn't she good? I'm always on the hunt for good German music!)

“I just don’t get you academics,” Matthias said. “All your papers about, what, like ‘the role of women’s bonnets in 18th century literature’ or whatever.”

...you know, I was actually just reading a book for class where the author referenced a study on the changes in women's bonnets...too real, this piece is too real! XD

Matthias is such a flirt. I love it. Heh.

[winebabe]

That's so funny! I love when life just matches up like that.

Oh he is a charmer for sure haha. It's hard not to like him! Unless you're Henry, of course, and you're a perpetual grump about everything. :P

[fachefaucheux]

But harassing the grumpy one is fun! You know. If you're like me and enjoy seeing characters be miserable. XD

[winebabe]

Oh absolutely! Most of their relationship is just Henry being harassed by Matthias lol.

[lost_spook]

Aw, this is great! And these two are really likeable - and I'm intrigued again about how they can possibly connect to the others...

[winebabe]

Thank you! Unfortunately the actual plot-heavy part of their existence is just...not as fun for me as them just living their lives lol. Hopefully I'll get to writing something that ties everything together soon enough haha.
