#penate

Thank you!!!! (Side note… I have a degree in communications and my thesis was on conflict negotiation management coping strategies. I cannot tell you how often characters - in anything - make my eye twitch with their inability to hold appropriate conversations dealing with their issues)

Do Oliver and Felicity ever have any pregnancy scares? …No. But someone else in the family does. *insert ominous noise here*

Side note - again - you said “the kidnapping story” and my immediate reaction was “which one?” So… lol… um… there’s that. Don’t worry, I just realized which one… as there’s only one you’re currently aware of. But, this is still Arrow-ish. Big bads will occasionally be both big and bad. Especially in full sequels.

As for Nate and Penny’s ship name… sigh. We’ve been through a few possibilities, but nothing has grabbed me and no one seems to be consistently calling them any one name yet. I think maybe the best is Penate? Or Pente? Really, I need to think about namesquishes before naming characters in the future. I got lucky with Ameliam (and with Elara, really, and Julson… they just work. What would Ellie and her first girlfriend be? Ellie/Chrissy… Elissy? Chellie? Or Ellie/Rachel? That ones harder… Jules/Miles, too… Jiles makes me think of Buffy. Or Will/Allison… Willson? Sounds like a volleyball! ANYHOW…). I guess I’m just waiting to see what catches on for Nate and Penny? Pente sounds appropriate, as they are super pent up. Penate makes me think penitent, which is interesting given their relationship. I can’t deal with Quenny or Bookeen or Nenny or Nanny. Natenny might be okay?
