I haven't been able to sit down long enough to tag today because inventory but I can do a meme.

I agree with your "how do I pick one" assessment BUT I do have a few I come back to a lot: post-Tumenalia (the first one), officially getting together, the semi-failed knifeplay, the planeswalking talk, the tough talk in the snow, and birthday meadow.

(there are just SO MANY GOOD ONES that picking is hard)

god the snow talk...

Also post Tumenalia blanket fort yess

The snow talk was such a rough but important one. They got through so much there.

The blanket fort will forever live with me because they had a good talk, yes, but the whole time Amelia was like "but why is it okay he's close and comforting????" without having words to realize "ohey that's feelings"

Hawke was so kind while she was so cruel and messy.

He gets it though. Tumenalia sucks and that was her first one

It was so rough and definitely not how she wanted their first time to be.

They've buried it beneath many many many good times, but she does still feel a little guilty about that.

elle and hawke commiserating over always having to tell their friends BE NICE TO YOURSELF but also lifting each other's spirits

Serina615: aww, Amelia :c

casualbongos: Yes! It always tickles me cause it could sound so Mean Girls and up their own asses but they're not like that at all

Dubcon after just barely not getting busy in the caves made her feel really bad when she'd wanted to jump his bones between those two moments and failed hard at getting to it. :<

klkjalsekrj oh god the therapy thread too though!!!!

Serina615: The one where they almost laid each other out in the middle of a crowded room?? fff

Got so close to it and then got drugged into just talking. alsekjrlejkr

And it was a very good "come to Jesus" moment about her mothering him!

Even if they had to get help getting there. >>:;;;;;

It really would have been a deal breaker for him though so I'm glad x.x

Me too. A lot of things hinged on that conversation going well.

Tbh that really started the whole process of shifting her mindset enough to be open to more intimate relationships, so I'm glad they got to have it. Even if they were both on edge about it.

Them

Them. They're so good and I love all that they are.

you pretty much said everything, but also: Wolfe tripping his "instahorny" punishment bracelet around Peter, the umbrella thread ;;, Wolfe, Juno and Peter at Catsanova, and the language lesson-turned-sex thread with Caleb and Wolfe

...it's hard to choose, lol

ltmutiny: I really wish the punishment anklet one had gone longer. I think that was just before I dropped after my first stint in Dup though

I had soooo much fun with the Catsanova one

It was, yeah \o/ and the Catsanova thread was so incredibly good and uncomfortable

We didn't get to get as far as I would have liked since I was on the struggle bus, but Midge being soft with Hawke after pit trauma is up there for me.

velocinapper: omg I loved that...

He'd never broken down like that before

She wasn't used to being really soft, but she just wanted to be there for him.

she was such a good
