...who wanted something about Estella and Fredegar, set during her story "Beauty for Ashes" (here Fred thinks about his sister, right after she left him after their father's death)...

The house seems oddly empty. It echoes with her absence. I didn’t mean to let her down, I didn’t mean to not be there for her. Death, I have seen it myself in the Troubles, but to face my own parents’ deaths was more than I could take. She has every right to be angry with me.

Strange, how I could be brave enough to wait for danger at Crickhollow, court danger from Lotho’s cruel Men, but I can’t find the courage to talk to my own sister about what’s important to her.

I’m so sorry, Estella. I miss you.

AH! That was wonderful! You really got into Fred's inner thoughts, and foreshadowed what will be opened in coming chapters. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

*grin* So, how soon do I see a new chapter?

By the way, I have to work this afternoon, so it will be tomorrow before I can send you fb on the two you sent me, but I have to say: that second one is the best thing you have done yet, bar none! It's original, insightful...whoosh! You go, girl!

Not sure. I know where it's going, but just haven't sat down and started writing it yet. I've had plot bunnies coming out the wazoo, so I'm kind of scattered right now in what I'm writing. But I'll try to force myself to start on the next chapter this weekend!

Whoa, the Rosie pov was that good? It was sitting in my notebook for months now, and when I typed it out, it didn't come out the way I had planned. Oh well, that's okay!
