Holly Hogglebee! Thanks! It might sound weird (and a bit stupid), but it always means a lot to have really great authors (like yourself) tell me I wrote something good (what I like validation too!), so I really do appreciate the comment. ♥

I've just gotten into Skins, watching on YouTube. This is great, I hope you'll grace us with more tidbits of Emily/Naomi.

Youtube has been a saving grace as far as me and this fandom are concerned, because if a friend hadn't forwarded me a link to an episode, I'd probably never given it a chance. And now I'm absolutely addicted! So congrats on discovering what I think is one of the greatest teen shows ever made! And yeah, definitely expect more tidbits soon (I actually just posted a new ficlet).

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! I definitely think the worse tragic flaw a character can have is excessive pride, and for some reason Naomi strikes me as someone who would suffer from such a flaw. I'm working on a longer fic where that definitely comes into play.

Glad you enjoyed it, though sorry about breaking your heart!

Oh wow... short but it was very intense. Loved it!
Is it a one shot?
Great job

Thanks! The story was originally a bit longer, but I thought shortening it might strengthen the impact. It was also intended to be a one-shot, but I'm toying with a couple of possible companion pieces that would fit into the skins50 table too.

Really glad you liked it though. I was quite nervous to post it, so it's great to know that people actually enjoyed it. : )

:( Sorry to sadden you. I promise to try an occasionally write happier stuff though! And glad you thought it was good and for the comment! ( :
