Really pleased you liked it. :) As I said, I saw the prompt, and saw the plot almost immediately, so there must have been some mutual wave-length happening there. ;)
This is a lovely take on the prompt. And yes, a little melancholy, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of melancholy, and this version of events gives a brilliant validity to the pairing. Also, I loved the tone of the Nancy!POV parts. Well done. :)
Thank you. :) They're not a pairing that would have normally sprung to mind for me, but the prompt really helped suggest how it would. Glad the Nancy parts worked for you - I like writing the POV of young kids, but am always concerned about getting it ok.
Yey, Chris/Annie, my guilty pleasure-LOM-ship (as in I love it, but whenever I have tried to figure out how it would work I have just painted myself into a corner). Oh I really, really like this, and I find it quite fitting that it's a little melancholic rather than angstyangst. I also liked the non-chronological structure, and that Gene was so adamant about Annie continuing to work even after her marriage. Thanks for writing!
So happy that you, being a Chris/Annie shipper, liked it! Glad the structure worked for you, and that the part with Gene was believable (oddly, despite Gene's so obvious sexist attitudes, he does seem to appreciate good work regardless of who's doing it.)
This is a lovely collection of scenes, I like how you give us glimpses of Chris and Annie at different points and build up to show us a complete picture of their relationship. I like how you show a full range of feelings i.e. regret, tenderness, wondering and contentment. Thank you.

This is really very charming with a lovely edge of melancholy, injected by the old thought "be careful what you wish for."
Thanks! :D
