DramaQueen Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Oh my gosh I haven't finished it yet, but oh my gosh To be completely frank, I didn't have very high expectations; previous experiences with romantic fanfics are probably to blame. But this is freaking awesome! Ahhh!!! Amazing writing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ookla of Colors Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Highmarshal (not High Marshal) Soulcast (not soulcaste) Accuracy note: Kaladin wouldn't call it a depression group. They didn't really know about depression, and didn't have a name for it. Those are the only ones I remember right now (I just finished it.) I don't think there were any really big problems. I like it. It's sweet. (but sadly will probably never come to pass) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Spoiler When Elebet took off her glove I got really weirdly self-conscious of the fact that my left hand was in fact not covered and I awkwardly hid it in my flannel...in the middle of my math class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will reread and hunt the places to correct. And I am afraid something like this won’t come to pass, either, which is why I had to write it myself.

That's the most conscious I've ever been of my left hand, it was weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla of Colors Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Why would she take off her safehand glove in the stable (instead of a room where people couldn't just walk in) after the whole thing about her not feeling comfortable without a safehand earlier in the story? Were they in one of the stalls? Why would she act that way before they were married, after the whole thing with her history, her slave brand, what it meant, and how people reacted to it? I think it feels ... odd... for her to do that. Odd enough for it to bug me a bit, not odd enough for me to hate the story.

I think it feels ... odd... for her to do that. Odd enough for it to bug me a bit, not odd enough for me to hate the story. They were in the floor of Cap’s stall, down where no one could see. She took the glove off to show him she was comfortable with him because he had asked her if she was going to be comfortable with a man (after having been violated by her former master). And I confess, it’s my fantasy to tangle my bare fingers into Kaladin’s hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla of Colors Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Okay. This makes sense now. Thanks! Didn't she take off her glove before he asked that tho? You know what I'll go check. Edit: Nope! I'm wrong. Also I obviously missed stuff the first time I read it and should probably go reread the bits I'm going to poke at before I poke at them. I apologize for any inconvenience, anger, or confusion I caused with this. Edited January 13, 2022 by Tani 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla of Colors Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Suggestion: Quote “That young man deserves a happily ever after if anyone on this rock of a world does. For now, we hope for an ever after.” What if it said "... For now, we hope for an after." ? Good, bad, or horrid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
