Yay, you're back and you're writing and... this is just lovely. Edgy and angsty and heartbreaking and with a fantastic ending. Things are not yet quite sorted between them but at least now they can look forward to a time when things WILL be sorted. And meanwhile poor old Stitch can finally get a good night's sleep!

Thank you so much! I may have to write several angsty follow-ups detailing Stitch's extensive therapy sessions but for now I think they're going to be ok.

Also I'll probably be sending you more These Days soon; I had a bit of a creative crisis and couldn't get anywhere with it but it's going a bit better now.

Also I love you!

Thank you. It's quite mutual, you know!

Looking forward to more of These Days one of these days...

I just wrote my first sex-free epic (don't worry, the lack of sex is tasteful and is important to the story) and you've created this ( ... )

life_downsized July 7 2013, 22:17:38 UTC

I do hope the lack of sex is tasteful. Personally I think a woman of your intelligence would know better than to do something as crass and undignified as not including a sex scene!

I deleted and un-deleted the sex scene multiple times because I was really worried about it, so to hear that you think it works is kind of indescribably relieving.

Also I'm just making noises at this point because words won't form, but suffice to say I may have to print that out and hang it over my desk for the rest of my life.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D It was difficult trying to envision Pete running off on the love of his life, so I spent a lot of time convincing myself his expression at the end of the film was one of fear rather than incomprehensible excitement. But you are so lovely and I want to hug you quite a lot, I hope that's ok.

In crying! But I'm glad....at the end.

life_downsized July 22 2013, 08:27:14 UTC

I hope you're crying in a good way and not a "damn this writing is painful" way in which case I'm really sorry! But thank you so much :D

I'm sorry - I commented emotionally! It was good crying! your writing is a delight to read. I hope you might do more Sweet fics in the future!

life_downsized July 22 2013, 22:49:27 UTC

Oh gosh thank you so very very much! (I have some ideas for a sequel to this but I have so many fics to write at the moment I don't know when I'll get round to it but I'm so glad you're interested!)

First of all, I'm terribly sad that I somehow managed to miss this and haven't been able to comment until now! Definitely one of my favourite Pete/Stitch stories ( ... )

*Squeaks* Well that's about the nicest thing I've ever heard excuse me while I hide in this cupboard for several days.

We'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones. Mini!Conduit has inherited your good taste in slash fiction, clearly.

I was so worried about the smut and people seem to like it so I'm so pleased. Thank you so very very much. You are a wonderful human being!

And oh God These Days, I've been trying to write this chapter since June and it's one of those times when I know exactly what's supposed to happen, I just can't find the words to get them there! And it's been like four months! I'm so ashamed. I'm hoping that the soundtrack I made for it will soothe the blow somewhat.
