I haven't seen the ep yet, but this is still really lovely. I especially love the way Franky and Matty are with each other. There's a wonderful peacefulness and, erm, acceptance about them somehow, when they're together. Does that make sense?
Either way they're fab! :)

I particularly liked:
"“She said sorry, eventually. I had to stop hating though, whether she did or not. So I dropped it in the post. The gun I mean, not the hate.”
“Same thing.”"
Kinda perfect :)

I don't know if I'll ever not dislike Mini, but it's still wonderful seeing her and Franky together here, even in so tiny a way.

This is a wonderful little story. Thanks ♥

Aw, thank you! Yeah, a lot of people are saying Franky/Matty are the new Freffy in that their ~stares mean they're in love. I see the comparison I guess, but I don't agree. Matty is the only one who's seen the other side of Franky, the depth of her pain and anger, and like you said he just...accepts. I think unlike Freffy, who never had a thing in common besides pretty faces, Franky and Matty are sort of on the same level mentally and emotionally.

I still like Franky and Mini together, but from an objective perspective, Mini is the one who needs someone like Franky, someone who cares and forgives, but Franky certainly doesn't need the mindfuck that is Mini. She needs someone more like Matty, who's chill and accepting, non-judgmental. I'd be happy with either pairing though, given the proper character development for the parties involved. :)

Wow that wound up being long, lol. Thanks for the lovely comment Si ♥♥

Yeah, I saw this more as a missing scene than a story, it doesn't have much in the way of plot on its own, lol. The last ep needed a few more group scenes IMHO. Thanks bb ♥
