WOW <3 I LOVE HIM

This - "He felt used. Convenient to have around, so long as he didn't want anything. Disregarded, because he'd never asked for anything, so that just mean he didn't want anything." - is the strongest I have ever seen Eljay feeling. Great character arc! :)

"He was a man, and he'd prove that he could fuck like one." Need I say more? I think not.

"He couldn't help but think that's easy to say when it isn't your feelings or your children." <3 This entire situation highlights what I love about collab writing so well, and this sentence in particular. Eljay is SUCH AN AMAZING CHARACTER

I concur, this was a lovely thread! Thank YOU! <3

Awwww at Towhee having a vulnerable moment and giving into it and being fragile for just a moment. <3 I love these two and their complex relationship. <3

I'm super taken by the idea of Antares physically keeping another wolf between him and Moonspear, and the idea of it staring him down. UGH. Beautiful. Those are deep character feelings- I love it.

"Was Wylla’s uterus a clown car then?" What an A+ sentence.

That comment about being a mother to Reyes, too. LOL.

;_;

"more buttholes than the one God had given them at birth." AMAZING LOL <3

The bit about how to deal with Eljay passed down generations is hilarious - but in general I love Wraen in this thread, where she genuinely listens and tries to figure what's best for everyone involved. <3

This is such a beautiful idea, with lovely execution.

I have loved Towhees' story from the minute I read about her, and when I returned to Wolf after a that half year, I got suuuper excited to see that Meerkat was Towhees own flesh and blood! I had been (still am) quite invested in her story and I am thrilled to be apart of it, even just a bit! While this thread was sad, I am glad to be apart of it nonetheless. Thank you for such wonderful times!!

I was waiting until the end to pick my favorite post but tbh I can't! I love Eljay so much. I'm kudosing this one in particular bc the bit about wanting to be involved in the conversation is so good and so nuanced - as is the comparison to how he's been feeling lately. I just wanna give him the biggest hug ;.; I adore writing with you, always, and cannot WAIT to play out where this goes next!

I adore you for hitching yourself to my crazy wagon and playing along so graciously. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, although I'm sure Rye feels differently! LOL.

Kudos to both of you for the painfully realistic depiction of how relationships can sometimes be so beautifully complicated. These two are such complex characters on their own, it makes a lot of sense that their personalities would create an emotional powder keg at some point. It made for an incredible read!

I like this metaphor <3: "She felt more tears clawing at her throat and choked them down."
