Just wanted to say thank you for posting the whole of that huge chapter, rather than splitting it. I really needed that dose of warm fuzzies today. It was literally the best present. <333 ~Loves-pie

You’re very welcome, my dear!  It really is one chapter…I just allowed the length to get away from me because I wanted their perfect day to be really full, and indulged myself if every single thing I love about Pittsburgh.  But in the end, even though it means I only have 500 words of the next chapter and you all probably have a long wait again, I felt it needed to all be posted at once.  Without the end, it just feels like “and they did stuff.”

Can you send some of that writing productivity my way please? XD

I can try! The airing out and unpacking of issues is apparently easier for me to write than the subtle planting of hints as to what may or may not be wrong in their relationship. That was necessary but exhausting. My advice, move beyond the angsty, emo, pining and suspicion. Of course, I’m not sure what you’re working on, and as we all love to read a bit of angst, I suppose we all have to take turns writing it. But my god it was pulling teeth to give them each their voice and a fair position from which to be struggling. But at the moment, I’m feeling less like this will be the last Bleary fic, which I’ve been thinking from the beginning. IDK.

Anyway, that was long-winded. Read it as relief. Good luck with your writing! May your muses be as word-vomiting as mine have been.

YES, absolutely! My fingers are starting to go numb from hanging onto that literary cliff of yours. XD

Sorry!

It was a gamble, stopping the chapter there.  I knew another cliffie would potentially piss people off, but waiting another few weeks until I finished the second half of their confrontation might be worse.  I was hoping by at least resolving a few issues, the suspense might be a bit better to take.

Anyway, cliffies are good for you 😉  Get the heart pumping… or something  **mumbles excuses**
