I’m sorry for the delay on this! I am sick, and also I had to accept there would be another part after this. I’M A MONSTER! But I hope you enjoy.

Since I posted the last part, I’ve had the chance to talk to lots of lovely readers in person about Turn of the Story, and so this ( Read more... )

fantasy is the best, short story, turn of the story, short stories, the turn of the story

OH MY GOD
PLOT TWIST
Did not see that coming!

One person got it and told me so. ;) That seems about right to me--if nobody had guessed I'd feel like I hadn't laid any breadcrumbs and cheated my readers.

That said, I am always happy to surprise!

England's given me shirtless Richard Armitage, it's great. ;)

Glad to surprise!

I did have an inkling that the mean medic who wouldn't give her name wouldn't because it was significant somehow but I was hoping I would be wrong about why :( Not because I'm not excited about Elliot's mom and all, but I just hate seeing Elliot hurt so much (and yes, I'm pretty sure that means I'm reading the wrong author lol) and I think this is going to really bring the pain.

In other news, I teared up twice at this part, possibly due to emotional compromise from seeing If I Stay earlier and crying my eyes out, but also just over Michael Sunborn being the greatest dad (and best blackmail-er) ever and over Luke and Serene's epic friendship :) That part was also painful for Elliot which kind of sucked, but worth it for the culture-defying, life-changing relationship being strictly platonic :)

I'm jealous: I wanna see If I Stay but am sickness house-bound ( ... )

I must disagree with you on one thing. Gregory Sunborn will always be The Sunborn of This Chapter in my heart. More Gregory! The people demand it!

The vote for my silver lion so noted. ;)

Ahhhhhh Elliot!!! I don't see how he can stop all wars forever all by himself but I really, really want that for him because HE wants it so bad. Poor baby.

sarahtales September 3 2014, 04:15:01 UTC

Elliot does take a lot on himself, but then that happens when you are not used to anyone sharing burdens--and it means he doesn't know how to share 'em himself and ends up playing a game of slapping hands and going 'for god's sake let me do it' about the peaceful governance of a war-torn land. ;)
