Captured me with the first sentence and I devoured the rest, every single word. Excellent writing. Look forward to the TBC.

Thank you :) I can't quite describe how much fun I'm having with this story. Been a long time since I felt that way.

Oh God I was terrified the visit wouldn't be included but then it was and it was amazing. I wanted to bitchslap Ross though because why, why would she need to see that you dolt?!

Dear Ross,
You suck this chapter.
no love,
Me.

But oh God so good, and now what happens? He gets help? Gets out? omg omg omg so many possibilities.

I couldn't even read that word for the fear of long words - clearly some evil, ironic, hipster psychologist named it that.

And Fuck yeah Baffin Island! Loonies are awesome, and my country is effing huge lol.

And I don't eat avocados, but this gave me a justification for it lol.

Bitchslap Ross! Hmm. That might make a good scene further along...:)

Thank you so much for your ongoing feedback. I can't stooooop! I haven't written this much this quickly in...well, forever, I think. IT JUST KEEPS COMING. And it's so FUCKING ANGSTY. Maybe I'll have to write something soft and fluffy next.

Nah.

Are you Canadian, too? If so, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! <3 If not, it's all right. We can't all be completely awesome ;)

Thank you!

ETA: I kinda love avocados...a lot, despite the meaning of their name, lol.

Avocados are too creamy for me. IDK if that makes sense but lol, there it is.

And I am super super happy you're writing this much again. You are so super totally my favourite L&O writer. If I could print and bind Red Strings and put it on my shelf, I totally would.

Also, yes I am Canadian! I am assuming by the 'too' you are as well? I'm from the east coast (NS) originally but living in Ontario right now :)

[scriberestagere]

ONTARIO TOOOOOO. Just west of Toronto :)

Ah, I'm so happy about Red Threads. I feel like I did a bit of a disservice to that story. I read parts of it now and think, Oh, I could have done so much better. I don't want to feel that way about this story. Thank you!

Oh my god, you are so amazing. This was such an incredible chapter. This is just so gorgeous.

It's raw and it's painful and the POV shifts are breathtaking and the visit, oh my god, the visit! EEEEEEEE!!! I love it. You are SO amazing.

[scriberestagere]

Thank you so much! Your comments are always so sweet and positive -- they make my day that much brighter :)

[scriberestagere]

In...out...in...out. I sometimes stop breathing whilst writing this damn story. It's taken ahold of me and WON'T LET GO OMG. Thank you, so much <3<3

Really love how you interwove the POVs. And Eames' characterization is great throughout, especially these bits:

“What I need,” she says in a voice that doesn’t sound quite like hers, “is to go home now. What I need is…a good sleep.” She looks directly at Ross, her eyes dry. “I have an appointment in the morning.”

Alex blinks back hot tears. You are all so stupid, she thinks. And this is so stupid and so wrong and all of you fucking people are just so fucking stupid. “He’d never hurt me. Ever,” is what she says instead, to no one in particular and anyone within listening distance.

There is basically a picture of Eames next to 'undying loyalty' in the dictionary, Y/Y? :)

[scriberestagere]

The POVs were, I felt, essential to this particular story...something I thought about long and hard before I began writing this (THREE effing years ago), so, for you to mention them makes me all warm and squiggly on the inside.

And Eames. God. Eames. Fucking beautiful heartbreaking little Eames. I swear if she doesn't get...something...out of the final 8 episodes. Some mention of her fucking "undying loyalty"...SOMEthing...I'll...yeah. I don't even know. I'll do SOMETHING THOUGH I SWEAR I WILL.

Speaking of which, I have a birthday upcoming in April. I'm a simple girl, I am, and I don't ask for much, but I would like, from you, another chapter of There But For, k? K. I mean, I could ask for money, or...I don't know...an organ donation, but all I really want is another chapter. You can do that, yes? Yes. Yes, I thought so.

Thanking you in advance. And, thanking you now for the lovely feedback.
