you know, i'm going to admit right here and now that your first statement just kind of blows me away because... i am quite literally making most of this shit up as i go along. it doesn't feel well constructed. it feels slap-dash and haphazard and so fucking not well constructed that i cannot even begin to explain it. so your comment just completely blows my mind. seriously. and, yeah. there is a lot of plot in this monster. it is lovely to know that i've kept it all pretty tidy. especially considering the expanse and scope of this thing.
look. i fully get that the girls are all entitled to be mad at Aedan for what she did. and i do not in any way want to take away from that anger. but its so easy for anger to turn to something just as toxic and unhealthy as guilt when the situation arises. and it has arisen. and the girls are being very, very human here. "Well, maybe if I was nicer to her, this wouldn't have happened." except, rationally, we all know it doesn't work that way. and trust me, they will all sit down and have a serious discussion about it. a very serious one. that's one of the remaining plot points i have on my list. Aedan needs to tell them what she's been thinking and doing. and they need to reinforce that she cannot simply run off and do as she pleases. they're a family. they all deserve more courtesy than that.
i absolutely, one hundred and fifty gajillion percent love "Shall I show you a dork?" and the fact that its Asher... that just kills me.
yes. Gretchen is in a world of hurt now. and i honestly cannot imagine what kind of force Edward and Jean Claude could be if they paired up to do some damage. seriously. it would honestly be fucking terrifying.
Jean Claude and Zerbrowski have never really shared much screen time together (not in what i've read) but he strikes me as being such a Dad type character. i absolutely have him filling that role for Aedan here because... someone has to. and i just wanted to put some lighter touches in the chapter to keep it from being a real drag. this story is so emotionally intense that there need to be breathers every now and again.
glad you enjoyed it, bb. thanks for reading and commenting. *smoochies*
