It will be interesting to see how Mia "fits in" in Pittsburgh. She is going to have to find something to occupy her time while Sid is busy with the team - and on the road. It will be quite the adjustment for her.
"Scotch and Sidney". Sounds like a terrifically satisfying cocktail!. This chapter was amazing. Good to see Mia and Sid are "working" together. Keep up the fantastic work
I've been reading this store on Hockey Fanfiction. It won't let me log in to leave a comment. I love this story. If you don't get comments on the HOckey Fanfiction site...others might be having the same issue
Glad to see Mia is rebounding a bit. Yes, having sex for the first time can be quite traumatic - with all the built up expectations and emotions coupled with the physical issues that are experienced. But to have a partner who is considerate of all the issues and who is also willing to "google search" what to do in the aftermath certainly helps ease the awkwardness and embarassment.
But for Sid to guarantee to Mia of being able to "experience levels of pleasure that you didnt know existed" - well, that was quite the statement.
Mia will just need a bit of time before she can take him up on that!
I really admire the choices that you make in developing your story. It would have been a much easier direction to write Mia's "deflowering" as this magical culmination of all they had been through. This route is the one that a lot of authors would take. But you chose to explore the very real aspects of a couple moving their relationship to the next level - the "messiness" that can be involved - both physical and emotional. Despite how thoughtful and caring Sid had been throughout everything, it was not the encounter that Mia had probably imagined. It was painful, embarassing and incredibly emotional - and you portrayed that with incredible accuracy and sensitivity.
It will be interesting to see how Mia deals with the encounter - and the ramifications that result from it. Intimacy is not just a physical act. Mia will have to learn to open up about her feelings - letting Sid in and have him be a part of this.
