Week 7, Title: If you immediately know the water is cold, the tale has died too violent

Pellie hums in delight as Alec massages her too wrought shoulders. It’s been far too long. For this moment she’s content to lie on her stomach, boneless, to be taken care of for once.

Between spending all hours of the day at work or taking care of their kids, time left over is mainly spent sleeping.

But now the kids are at their grandfathers

I enjoyed the fractured timeline!!! With your usual sci-fi bent I misinterpreted the a familiar slither of grey. I won't typecast you again, m'dear!

[swirlsofblue]

So glad you enjoyed the timeline. Thank you :).

I aim to subvert expectations ;).

This was so satisfying to read forwards and backwards. Excellent job!

[swirlsofblue]

Thank you, so glad it works both backwards and forwards for you, that's so good to hear :)

This is so good! At first I thought the grey might be a superhero suit. Selkie is way more fun, that was awesome!! I like the tone in this, too, the pace, the backwards timeline. Nicely done!

[swirlsofblue]

Thank you, so glad you liked the tone and pace and timeline :)

You did a great job with this, and the timeline made it fascinating. It made the true identity as a selkie a surprise, rather than introducing that earlier in the story.

Thank you, glad you liked the timeline :).

I adore the selkie folklore. I smelled the brine on this immediately. Well done!

Thank you :)
