So obsessed with second-best....

THANK YOU.

I needed this, badly, for a personal mental fill-in of imagery, and of course you did it spectacularly!

"You don't want Ned, do you?" He looked oddly stricken. "Why does everybody want bloody Ned?"

OH DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME ACHE FOR GEORGE.

And you centred it all around dances and - and - ILU, basically.

Just ducking in to register my complete agreement with all of this, with an added pang for the nostalgia--it's so lovely and so painful, the way that Isabel aches for a time she's never known.

She really, really does! She has no idea what the world was like before the war; only that it was somehow better.

Poor, poor Bel.

lareinenoire January 31 2010, 05:20:29 UTC

YAY! I am so happy you liked it!

And this is doubly awful because I am being absolutely horrible to Bel in the next section of To Take is Not to Give. And don't worry about feeling bad for George -- he starts doing awful things in short order.

I love Bel so much and I hate being mean to her...

Poor, poor Bel. She gets such a raw deal, and it's sad, because she's so sweet. *cuddles her*

lareinenoire January 31 2010, 05:24:23 UTC

I love her so much. And yet I torture her.

I am a terrible person.

Welcome to the fandom. ;)

Clearly she and Dodgy Great-Uncle-In-Law Edward need to commiserate on the astral plane. They are both so sweet and have such wretched lives, in large part because of that.

lareinenoire January 31 2010, 14:12:07 UTC

ZOMG YES. They deserve to commiserate over the respective suckiness of their lives over massive quantities of tea and cake. And Henry can join in eventually because, while his life only sucks later on (he does pretty well for awhile), it does suck A LOT, and he does love cake.

And I'd been looking for that icon but forgotten where it was, so, am stealing now. ;)
