@ Blissed One of my biggest concerns other then grammar( ) is attempting to stay true to Tommy's original character. I realize that I have created this other romantic view of him by putting him in a love story, however, I hope that I'm able to maintain his canon. It's easier to write the original characters: Lennon, Piper, Dr. Stone etc. then those that are already established.
Lennon will have a up hill battle for not only does she need to convince Tommy that he did nothing wrong, but also has to confess her visit to Victor. Funny enough I went back and read through some of the story after your comment, with the intent of looking at Tommy through the lens of dominating. Although it wasn't a conscious thought when I was writing I see now that it's a prevailing theme.
I think your right as a side bar. Lennon needs his controlled dominance for it gives her the opportunity to partake in safe intimate situations. However, I think Lennon needs to be put on check. She needs to figure out that her need for dominance is away for her to recreate and master her history. While she may garner strength from the experiences it shouldn't be at the cost of Tommy's self worth for he measures himself on his treatment of her intensely. Thanks for your amazing analysis.
@ iseepurplepeople "Tangible" is about the nicest thing anyone has ever said. I'm glad you see them as dimensional characters. While I may sometimes go to deeply into POV, as a reader I like to see the motivation behind characters actions. Sometimes we read fics/books and become lost, or cannot make out where certain actions stem from. My goal is transparency, and I prefer a stream of consciousness narrative. Eventually I like to think when I'm more comfortable writing I will move away from this technique, and not rely on POV all the time. Thank you so much for your kind words.
This was such a good,emotional chapter. I think your reactions for tommy were correct based on his previous actions and reactions when it comes to her. I do hope that she can get him to see that it's what she WANTED though. There's nothing wrong with her wanting his dominance,though he's gentle with her, Tommy is still very much a dominant man and I think that's part of why she loves him.
I really don't understand why you have as little comments as you do. You write excellently. And you definitely portray the emotions of your characters beautifully. To the point that they seem like real, tangible people. I'd hate to see one of the good stories on here go unfinished. Keep up the great writing :)
@ zabetheliza79 I think it's normal for lennon to tear up think about her story;) And it's good to see she is getting strong to be better for tommy;) great great story
@ M12798501R Thanks, I thought it was time to build up Lennon some more. She needs to stop being a whimpering mess all the time. I was re-reading the fic, and noticed that you can make drinking game every time she tears up. I hope it just wasn't too much of a leap for people to grasp. Besides writing villains like Victor is awesome. You are exactly correct Tommy is going to flip out when he finds out.
