Wowzers. Hell of a story you've got going here. I've just caught up on chapters 4, 5 and 6 in one mammoth read. I've gotta say I've been feeling such dread waiting for them to start college together. I'm not sure why... probably 'cos I reread the prologue every time I finish a chapter to try and glean some new information from it. It makes me sad that all three of them are inevitably going to get hurt in this fic. But sad in a good way!! Reading fic that inspires such emotion is definitely the sign of an awesome fic, so yay you
( ... )
I found it really interesting that you opened this with Naomi’s father - or memories of him - as if it was setting the tone for Naomi’s insecurities and I suppose, to some degree, her line of thinking when it comes to relationships; people make promises they can’t keep, people say things they don’t mean, people let you down
( ... )
I really liked the way you handled merging this with canon because it’s only subtly different anyway and if feels like it belongs there perfectly, like, this could have been series 3. Naomi’s irrational (although rational if he’s getting his grubby, card-fiddling hands near Emily) was well done - I can see Naomi as one of those people watchers who goes with her gut instinct on whom she likes and who she doesn’t
( ... )
Of course this is updated literally a few hours before I need to hop on a flight. On the bright side I'm heading over to France, so we will also literally be closer than ever <3
So I've decided (finally) that ff has completely destroyed the wee bit of ethical foundation I started with. I mean, I want Emily for Naomi SO BAD. And that's not right, is it? Because Katie is all...Katie. But Emily is all...Emily. Man, I'm with Naomi. This is such a mess.
And of course, you're still slaying with the subleties and that lovely attention to detail thing you do. That only serves to make this all the more difficult. The pacing is pretty much ruining me as well. Every chapter I'm like, "Please, God. Now?" And of course "now" is not quite here yet and everything leading up to it is only making me more desperate for it and the whole thing is a horribly vicious (but beautiful) cycle.
So wonderfully done. Can't wait for the next installment.

LOL, poor JJ. He's not getting a break. And I liked him in S3 so I'm not projecting too much ;)
Obviously, I can say nothing about the contraceptive pills! But Naomi will find out at some point.
Yeah, brave move from Ems. Sadly she can't stay away from Naomi for too long it seems...
Ah I see! Well thanks for your compliment :) I just have no money and am forced to stay home a lot ;)
Cheers dude! ♥

Yeah, that's approximately how Naomi feels, maybe amplified slightly ;)
Good luck on the second go around!
