I forgot to comment on the last chapter of Irish Christmas but your note before the chapter scared me that it was going to get really angsty but it wasn't actually. They are definitely heading for misunderstanding and issues but the chapter is soo good and it makes perfect sense for the moment in the story!

Hey darling!! 😘😘

Sorry this took me a couple days to get to. I ended up having a situation where I needed to go on a forced social media break before I did something stupid and then I needed some time to reflect on your question because there are so many scenes I love for both of them. But I think I have narrowed it down now. 😊

For Armie, I think it’s a combination of 2 scenes that happen close together in Mend These Broken Pieces. The first is where he enters Timmy’s hospital room for the first time and sees him all bandaged and bruised, and how much emotion it brings up for him and how scared and desperate he is for Timmy to be ok. And the second is at the end of that chapter/beginning of the next when he’s in with Timmy and Timmy wakes up. The overflowing relief of Timmy waking up mixed with anxiety of wondering how much Timmy remembered and then the fear of still possibly losing him because of their fight. Both scenes are so fraught with tension and angst and desperation, and I’m really proud of how they turned out.

(And honorable mention goes to the entirety of Souvenirs, but especially the scene where they make love and Armie is memorizing every sound and touch and taste because he knows this will be the only time he gets to experience Timmy like that. It’s still to date the most personal and vulnerable thing I’ve ever written and it’s very special to me.)

Picking a Timmy POV scene was much harder just because of the sheer volume of them. The majority of my longer series are from Timmy’s perspective and there are so many scenes that I’m proud of or really love. But I think the one that continues to stand out for me is from Our Star Life. I know I’ve mentioned it before but it still rings as the scene that really took the story to another level and opened things up in a way I hadn’t been expecting but was absolutely delighted by when I wrote it. And it’s the scene where Armie drags Timmy to the top of the Hollywood sign and Timmy is bitching and whining the whole way, but when he finally reaches the top and looks out at the spectacular view of LA, he understands why Armie insisted they come, and it shifts his own perspective about his life in that universe and helps him understand the true depths of Armie’s love for him. It’s such an understated moment of the overall story but it gives them this depth and life as a couple that is so beautiful and special. And it was something I just stumbled upon in the moment and it’s one of my favorite happy accidents.

Anyway, love your writings and love your blog. 🥰

Hey Nonny 💗

Thank you for this very sweet message!! 🥰🥰 I’m so glad that story resonated with you so much. I had wanted to do a h/c fic way back when I first got into the fandom, it just took me a little while to actually get around to it. But I’m very proud of that story and the deeper emotional places I got to explore with it.

So to answer your question, yes! I would absolutely love to write more h/c fics in the future. It’s also one of my favorite genres to both read and write, so I’m always open to prompts that might incorporate that. As of right now, I don’t have any specific ideas for another h/c story that isn’t just a retread of what I already did with MTBP, but I definitely do hope to find a new and interesting way to approach that genre at some point. I feel confident that inspiration will strike one of these days, and I’m excited for it to happen.
