This is such a beautiful fic! I love your Willa and Minerva and the believable, wonderful relationship you give them. They both are strong personalities, and they inevitably have their ups and downs, but they're committed to keeping their relationship alive and adapt it to their needs and circumstances, however much those may change –- it's simply wonderful and makes me very happy, and I hope you will not cease being a serial fic'er any time soon! (My home front greatly approves of my enjoyment of serial TRS!fics, BTW. Just though I'd let you know.)
Your Willa's voice, as always, is a delight. Am completely charmed by her pragmatism -- and the delightful image of our favourite fictional butch reading glossy women's magazine (as well as the disgruntled sigh at what she reads.)
Well, that’s one properly dissolved instant coffee, Willa thought, as she slowly returned to the here and now. Nearly stirred the bottom out.
“Such a treat,” Willa says, settling herself against the kitchen counter. “Shouting ‘I’m home’, I mean.” -- Yes, it is. Wagging tails are nice welcome-homes, but there's nothing like a human answer after a longer stretch of coming home to hotel bedsheets and matching curtains.
the Case of the Missing Bowtruckle. -- I smell a plot for a B&M mystery ...
Love the to-do list and her determination not to procrastinate, the colour-coding (I have lists like that!), the non-turkey and the wonderful solution to get cranberry sauce in after all, and above all, the chstmstree. I know someone who admitted to wanting a real one for the first time not quite unlike Willa here.
And your take on textile kink is ... I was going to say "broad-minded indeed", but I'll be frank and say that I can perfectly, perfectly see the appeal in the monstrosity. Oh, the wonderfulness of if-only-you-knew outward prim&properness. And high collars. Lots of linen . I mean, not that I didn't do lesbian history purely out of academic interest and because it's so politically important, of course, but ...
… only conferences in which at least four topics are really fascinating -- Do they still make those, apart from DiaCon?
There had been conferences where she had stayed awake by calculating the number of months to her retirement. She had even calculated the weeks, when the speaker was some Ministry official. -- Am I supposed to have pity here? Think of the Ministry official's poor interpreter who can't even distract herself.
Fourteen hours – and then they could whinge together. -- Make that four months! And thank you for reposting this gem; it was as wonderful a gift this time than the first time!
