Yeah, it's nice to see Katie sorting her shit out a bit but, like, everything we see is what Naomi sees - maybe Katie's been nice all along but Naomi's just too focused on other things to see it that way. Know what I mean?

That's just a maybe though!

She is in a huge mess, is Naomi. Yeah, she's given in but she's still holding back. Poor Ems, she's hanging in there somewhere!!

Obviously, I'm saying nowt about things to come... but canon is working its way through this story, so you'll see what happens in the next chapter :)

Thanks so much for reading and commenting! You're ace :)

I know it's going to end badly, but I'm kinda glad Naomi gave it another go with Katie. She lying to herself that she's over Emily of course, but it's sort of mature of her to remember all the reasons why she loved Katie in the first place and realize that even though they're different people there are still so many ways in which they work. But then it's also incredibly naive of her to think that cheating on her girlfriend with her sister is just going to go away. Oh, Naomi. I suppose we'll find out soon how badly everything is going to blow up on her.

[flister]

Yeah, absolutely. Naomi has been totally naive throughout all of this - she's scared, still.

I don't think it'll take too much longer for things to come to a head, in whichever way.

Thanks muchly for reading and commenting :)

I can't express how much love I have for this story. It really does things to my heart.

Naomi is more lost than ever, and is trying to be logical about who she chooses by making lists etc. It would be great if things worked like that, but they just don't. Love is not logical.

If Naomi and Katie's relationship is going to have chance of survival, then Naomi will have to like, never see Emily ever again, as every time she does she can't fight the feelings that surface. At least not seeing Emily makes those feelings easier to bury. However, considering Emily is Katie's twin sister, that doesn't seem like an option.

As usual, I can't wait for the next chapter. I wonder how long Naomi's resolve against Emily will hold out...

Aw, thank you!

Indeed - and Naomi's lost sight of logic a little here. Or at least lost sight of herself a little bit.

I'll try not to keep y'all waiting too long for the next chapter.

Thanks muchly hon :)

This is all incredibly sad. I don't really have anything more than that, it's just...painful seeing Naomi flounder in such a way.

That said, I loved Cook's part, and Effy's as well, and in general, how we're so close to canon and yet how utterly miles away we are. And now they're going camping, and I'm interested to see what stays the same and what changes...! ♥

[flister]

It is sad man! It makes me sad sometimes! Must write some uplifting fluff at some point!

Oh I bloody love putting Cook in this. He's sort of like a guilty pleasure.

Yes yes, camping next... I know what happens. So that's a good thing at least! There are... some changes. I'll say no more.

Thanks mate, big &hearts to you.

I've been lurking for far too long and just wanted to say that I have been following this religiously, and have all but started doing the compulsive refresh in anticipation of each new instalment. That said, I don’t know how much more of this I can take - my poor little heart hurts enough already.
Really fantastic, can’t wait to see where this tangled mess ends up.

Thanks for delurking to comment!

I apologise for your heart - I'll try not to hurt it too much more... Maybe ;)

Cheers!!
