I'm not familiar enough with your story to know what exactly the AUs were, so thank you for listing them off at the bottom. And that was just -- wow! Edward & Julia's relationship intrigues me so much. Well worth the read! :)

Aw, thank you! And I did wonder if it might be confusing, but I hoped they worked as just fragments of other lives, even without knowing the details. :-)

(I've obviously written quite a lot about these two, but I think pretty much all the basics of who they are and how/why they got together are still covered by the original backstory piece for them The Games We Play, if you wanted to know. That one's a bit long, too, though, I'm afraid.)

I liked all of these, but probably the last one best. Very dark. Which is fitting, considering which prompt it's for. Though, I liked light too...figures. XD Excellent binge execution/idea, by the way!

Thank you! I'm not sure which ones I liked doing the best, probably Wood & Dark, in the end. Dark was a last minute addition, because I planned it as 7 AUs and 1 canon piece and then suddenly had that idea, which clearly needed to be done, because the potential for them to meet on opposing sides was right there in canon.

It was hard to keep it down (it went up to 12,000 words at one point, and much waffle and a scene with Caroline all had to go) so I am side-eyeing my decision to try a full length Binge for the other half of this question with much wariness. (It may end up as a Big Bite or something instead.) Although I might also continue that Wood section in another piece, because Julia says she and Edward would be terrible at an affair, and they would. It would be v amusing and unfair on them; I shall probably have to do that with one of my Lemon-Lime flavour pieces. /evil author

(At some point, I might go back to canon. la la la. :lol:)

(Sorry, waffling nearly as much now as when I wrote this.)

Heheh, I'm interested in seeing them try to pull off an affair. Well. It sounds sort of weird when put like that, but you know what I mean.

There's a reason I haven't done any binges yet...a terrifying word count is most of it. It'd end up being a novel, basically. But I like reading long pieces (even if it takes me a while...stupid life), so bring it on! *crazy face*

:loL: Now why does this not surprise me? ;-p
