Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it! ♥ I had a lot of fun writing the Katie/Naomi dialogue, because they clearly don't like each other but they both have the common interest of making Emily happy. It creates some interesting friction. :)
This is just...this is just plain wonderful. Gripping and real and heartwarming, just what I needed to wake up to. Absolutely love your dialogue. Just plain love it. I can't even...You've got everyone's voices down, absolutely everyone's. Love your Katie/Naomi and Effy. And Emily. Oh gosh. Everyone. :) This is the kind of fic that makes you last until Series 4
Honestly, dude, you have no idea how much your comments mean to me. Seriously, the first time I sent you this - ALL THAT TIME AGE ;) - I was so incredibly nervous about what you'd think, and I kind of still can't believe that you like it. ♥
Emily folds her arms, unimpressed. "I don't like surprises. Ever since mine and Katie's eighth birthday party where we had this horrible clown pop up from nowhere. I cried for about an hour, and Katie kicked him in the shins for upsetting me. Dad had to pay him extra."
ROFL. Dad had to pay him extra = genius (as is Katie with the shin kicking). BEST CLOWN STORY EVAAAAR. Now that that's well and truly out of my system (until, you know, I burst out laughing randomly at some point over the next few days remembering), fucking brilliant, in the genius sense where everything comes together and just leaves you a bit open-mouthed staring. Usually I know what's coming before it does (well, I have feelings about what's coming that are usually pretty accurate), but I was genuinely surprised by the end. Not that it doesn't make sense that they would end up together, just that I wasn't sure at all which way it would go; even with Katie and Effy meddling, I wasn't sure at all. All that tension, and then resolution, and Naomi's circumstances

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, it means a lot. ♥ And I'm especially pleased to hear that Emily's characterisation worked for you; when I was writing it I felt like a lot of her motivations or whatever were only implied, or weren't that clear, so I'm glad that she came across well. Again, thank you so much for your comments!
