I really enjoyed how you portrayed Jules and Jess dealing with the same situation in very different ways. Particularly since, on paper, Jules is the one who should have found it easier. You made her seem very real.

I am so sorry, I thought I responded to this earlier.
Thank you so incredibly much for taking the time to comment! I am delighted you liked my portrayal and the characterizations read as realistic.

It's wonderful to see femslash about these two, and I like how natural the dynamic between them is. Love the scene of Jules leaving the club, and the realism of Jess' debates about telling her parents - they're both working through their own concerns and supporting each other. Love it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. I'm so glad you enjoyed this story and that you found the characterizations natural.

There isn't a lot of fic for BILB fandom, sadly. So I decided to give it a go with queer_fest because the prompt was too good to let slip by.

Ooh I liked the idea that Jules found it harder to come out to her family and that she had all these feelings that she's not even sure whether she's happy or not.

First, I adore your icon so much. Thank you for taking the time to comment, I'm so glad to know you enjoyed this.

I went with the idea of self-acceptance from Jules POV. In my head, Jules is in that spot where you're figuring out why society labels in the first place, and if you want to label yourself as you grow older, what exactly fits. It's more about learning where you fit in the larger scheme of things and happiness doesn't always follow in the confusion until after the dust settles.

I've been meaning to comment on this for ages - I can't believe it's been so long since I read it, but I wanted to say that you did a lovely job with this and I was thrilled to see that someone had written Jess/Jules. They're adorable and you gave them just the right scenario here. Nice work!
