I AM IN LOVEEEE WITH THIS STORY! Olivia and Nick's relationship is so fucking hilarious and amazing and everything I've always wanted for Olivia prior to season 12 when it was all just elliot all the time. and i personally picture olivia and brian together but I LOVE how you truly make it seem like it could be either elliot or brian! AMAZING! I'm re-reading it ASAP. I can see it's been a while since an update but this is such an amazing interpretation of Olivia's head and I'm just so obsesses with it! GAH! ALL THE FEELS!

Great

I love this story. Of course I read it with Elliot as Boyfriend because Brian is too much of a dumbass to be this guy. Please keep writing!

That was so sweet - and the kids at the airport and in the plane - totally realistic! Big reason why we never took ours on a plane until they were 10. I'm so glad Nick didn't interrupt them sooner, so they have this sweet and sexy memory now. Nice work.

I always love your writing! This chapter was delightfully funny and sexy too. I can’t wait for more here, or TG. Hope you’re doing well :)

It's been a tough few days and I'm exhausted, but as soon as I remembered I had this to look forward to reading I perked up, and it didn't disappoint. You write Noah so SO well- I was laughing. I truly loved this chapter. Really well done. Can't wait for more.

There’s a lot rolled into this chapter and I love it! The plane ride was hilarious and the hot tub scene was sooo good. And then good old Nick. I always love him in this story. And just as I’ve said before, I’m picturing Elliot and Olivia so you’d better not disappoint! Lol.

Amazing analysis of Olivia there, well done! Looking forward to part 2 of this after so long. Can I thank Jaime too for her encouragement? :)

I actually SHRIEKED a tiny bit when I saw this update I was so thrilled! Yay! Yay!

And what a lovely way to be welcomed back. Noah is cracking me up. I love Liv's perpetual worry, her longing to get this ~right~, and the boyfriend's (I edit in my brain to Elliot all the time lol) steady goodness. I'm really looking forward to more of this, and of TG. Great work, happy you're back :)

First if all, let me say that I was so excited to see an update! Second, it was amazing. I love how you write and you capture emotion so well. And third..I NEED THAT BOYFRIEND REVEAL TO HAPPEN VERY SOON! Thanks.

So happy to see your update! Ive missed this story. Love your writing style :)

Oh my God. Is this real? Is this really happening?!
Insert annoying emojis and squealing noises here...
I am SO happy. Seriously.

To be honest, I couldn’t remember everything that had happened, but you have the gift of pulling us in again in and instant and taking us along for the ride on that wave. Oh right, the quiz show! Hipster Nick! I was immediately immersed again. And as always, I love the balance between light and humour and the shamelessly slightly OOC but wonderful and PLAUSIBLE, retired Nick. Over Olivia’s anxious parenting. And the remnants of trauma. To recovery and what that means. To the serious, unashamedly moving, emotional, reflective part.

Great as ever, I feel like this chapter grabs us and shakes us and reminds us of everything we love about this story. Everything we love about Liv and her non-rosy, non-idealised growth. It’s a growth that is complex and non-linear, which makes it feel so real.

As always, I also love the bare butted boyfriend, although I have to admit reluctantly that I was really channelling Elliot here due to their years of connection and mostly his relaxed parenting attitude, which comes from experience and from needing to play that role to counterbalance Liv.

I’m buying a vowel for sure and cheering you on and hoping you continue this as well as TG!

I'm definitely an EO shipper so I'm biased when I say I hope it's Elliot. But, if she told The Boyfriend how she thought she was pregnant a few years ago, Cassidy would already know that cuz it was his. But, if she told the story of being pregnant in college, Elliot I believe, knew that. Judging by the voice and tone tho, it may have been unintentional, but it reads like Elliot. All in all, just happy i don't need a Prozac after reading like with TG.

I'M DYING WHY WOULD HE GIVE HER GRASS. Nick is the best
