Title: (When I Found You) My Heart Found A Home
Cal/Gillian, Emily, Zoe, future-fic, no spoilers, pg

Words: 1,296

Author’s Notes: Title comes from the song Falling For You by Seabird. Many thanks, as always, to my beta tempertemper77. I wrote this before the season 3 premiere, but then I was so disheartened by Cal's behavior that I shelved it. After this

Oh, hello. I love you.

The repetition (kind of) of the first line in each segment is fantastic. The details, the image of Gillian padding around in PJ bottoms and sweaters with chocolate. Lots of fantastic imagery of Cal with his shoes on, compared to Gillian walking around barefoot. Oooh, oh, and the family stuff with Emily. I ♥ that. GILLIAN GAVE HER A BRACELET. Of course she did. And it means the world to herrrr.

Hee. Melting right now.

Also, Much Ado About Nothing ♥

I love you, too!

So happy you liked all the detail and imagery. And Emilyyyyy. I do so love writing her. Thank youuuuuuu!!

♥♥

OMG girl, this is sooo sweet and cute! Aww, and you wrote it perfectly, so beautiful. I love the little surprise at the ending where you add Emily's thoughts into it, perfect! Loove looovvvve looovvvvvvvveeeee!

[etoilefilante]

Aww I'm so happy you liked it! Thank you. ♥♥

Aww finally!
I love your style of narration here. It gives the reader some sort of nostalgic feeling even though you’re writing about future. Sweet. To read it right now is definitely more comforting as opposed to the start of the season when Cal was behaving like a jerk.

Now all we got to do in order to see happy ending is pray for the full-season pick up :(

[etoilefilante]

Hee!
Thank you. I really love your comment about it feeling nostalgic, because this is how I've always seen their future so it isn't a new image to me; I'm glad I could translate that onto the page in such a way as you could feel it too.

Do you know when they should be making that decision? It deserves another full season (as long as they keep Cal's nasty side to a minimum).

There is no word on it :( There are only 13 episodes ready for the season. If FOX doesn't pick up the back 9 to give LTM the full season I hope they will be smart enough to reschedule airings and roll with another short season next year.

This is so sweet! I like the give and take of big and little, obvious and subtle, and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and family. It's lovely.

[etoilefilante]

Thank you so much! I really love that it feels nostalgic to you; I wanted it to feel like a forever, but one that we're already picturing in our minds as their endgame. :)

Ooh! You bring fic! I feel so spoiled. Almost every day there's been something new and awesome to read and I'm absolutely loving it. I love this. I love how it starts with Gillian and Cal's observations and then end with Emily's. Love that organization. It's these little moments that I adore the most, especially the quiet moments on the couch. I love the sneaking, the hand holding (weakness #1 for me! :P), the habits ingrained into Cal from his childhood. It's so quiet and so lovely. You just made me smile even more (I haven't been able to stop grinning like an idiot since the ep).

Hee, I do! Ooh, have there? I must go back and look, I'm so out of the loop.

I'm glad it all worked for you, particularly the hand holding and Cal's habits from childhood. :) Thanks for the lovely comments!
