Nice characterisation of Maria! Great one-shot!

Oooh... this hit me in the feels. Great job!

Oh, this broke my heart into tiny pieces. You got inside Maria's head so brilliantly in those pivotal moments in the movie, and gave us the missing scenes that we need to have as she leaves the villa.
I like how you have given insight into at what point she started to realise she could not be a nun - linking it to Elsa's words to her after the puppet show.
Your Maria was so perfectly in character with her confusion, desperation and despair. Her flight to the Abbey was definitely motivated by her fears and her need to feel safe as you have captured so well.
Beautifully written.

Good story! You did a good job enter in Maria's head

This was an interesting introspection of Maria's feelings before she ran away from the villa. A very nice short story.

I love this - such a perfect missing scene from the movie, and Maria's reflections on herself and Georg felt very in-character. Wonderful work.

That was amazing. You got her personality down perfectly. And while we see a lot of stories about what she did while she was gone, we don't see many of the actual events leading up to her departure, so well done on that.

Beautifully written.
Great one shot.

A new story from charleybec, lucky us! I liked this story a lot, it's my favorite kind that embroiders on the story we watch in the movie and gives us new insights. I was struck by the idea that M may have been relieved, actually, to break away after the Laendler. It's interesting, the idea that he might have been trying to cool things off after the glances they exchanged during the puppet show. And interesting that the Abbey is her safe place even though she's started to doubt her vocation. You did a wonderful job with this, thanks for writing it!

nice job. you did a pretty good job capturing how those words really sent maria into a state of confusion. i like how you included little details of the movie, like how she seemed to usher the children off to bed rather abruptly after 'edelweiss' (i've often thought it had something to do w/ the baroness but i couldn't quite put a finger on it). anyway. lovely.

Great characterization! Nice story!

A wonderful look into Maria's thoughts. I really like how you've explained that odd line about 'not making a very good nun.' Here, it makes sense. Good job.
