Comment on a sorrow halved

  1. anon

    you can't imagine how much i adore this series of yours. it's sitting permanently in my list of bookmarks. i was so surprised when i found a new entry after i refreshed it some minutes ago!

    this one made me wibble with feelings. i felt just as distraught as Charles. it amazes me to see how you let us see glimpses of their lives. and it's only the First Year. i can't wait for other lifechanging events to roll in (like parties, dances, proms oh my)

    thank you for the wonderful read. i discovered you when someone linked me from tumblr to your story about asexual!Charles. i shall be waiting on new parts. please never stop writing!

      Thank you so much! That makes me very happy, I'm so glad you like it so much! :) And no worries, I don't think I'll ever stop writing - there's a couple of stories for this series already written, and some are in progress.

      Poor Charles. Every time I think now the drama's finally all taken care of something new comes along. I keep thinking, all this drama! There should be more happy things happening. Prom is a good idea, I didn't even think of that, thanks! ;)

      Haha, the series title has become a bit of a dilemma, I have some ideas for stories but they're set further in the future, but it would be silly to make a new series, and I don't like the idea of renaming the series... I'll probably end up just adding the stories and writing an OCD note in the series description.

        anon doesn't want to be presumptuous, but i'd like to suggest a few other things as well. prompts, if you will. i would have liked to see how people reacted the first time they caught wind of Charles and Erik together. was there a lot of drama? did people stare? how is homophobia treated within the context of this 'verse? (mostly i just want to see gratuitous public displays of affection as a 'take that' to phobics; it's kind of a kink for me)

        i want to see them in the early days of their romantic relationship, ie. the first time they held hands/kissed/introduced each other as their boyfriend in public. please don't leave behind the rosy cheeks and the awkward limbs. high school AUs are just so adorable.

        OR

        a homophobe goes out of his way to make Erik and Charles uncomfortable with acknowledging their affection in public, in which they realize that wow, they really touch each other a lot without noticing it, and after a painful week of self-torture, they ultimately decide f--k it, our love is not a problem.

        much obliged, Mellonbutterfly! thank you very much!

          You know, especially one of these I've been thinking about - the private couple-y moments between them, I haven't written much on that yet, I really should take care of that.
          Thank you for the suggestions - I'm always happy about that sort of thing, it's not at all presumptious! At the most I can't write it because I have something different planned/written, but that's all. I wrote your ideas down. :)
