It's here!! It's finally here! I feel like you've been talking about this for so long, and WRITING it for so long, and it feels kind of surreal that you have started posting it now. Not gonna lie, I'm a LITTLE scared. Like, I know some things that will happen and even I - as someone who gobbles up angst like the Cookie Monster goes after cookies - am already aching with what they will go through. But it's YOU, and I trust you, and I know this is going to be so so so good, because it's our BOYS and it is YOU, so it can't be anything but.
Speaking of boys - they are so young! Captain and first mate, already at the tiny age of 20! Look at them being accomplished and skilled and already having gotten so far! I feel like it is with that tree though; the higher up you are, the further you have to fall. Is this foreshadowing? (If so, can the surviving the fall and getting together also be foreshadowing? XD Please?)
Also, I laughed a little to myself since in the beginning of the chapter it was like “The only wife I’ll ever have” about a ship (Mercedes; smart! Billy and his love for his car ... errr, I mean ship!), and at the end of the chapter, they're getting fake married and I'm like "WELL it's not a wife! XD" I loved them getting fake married in bed though, they love each other so much. I wonder if Steve will be able to keep his promise of never taking the string off. He might have to, to preserve it - I don't suppose that someone working on a ship can keep something intact on their finger. It is a lovely promise, at the very least <3
Oh, and I loved "It’s well-known that no one can come between Captain Hargrove and First Mate Harrington, and those that try regret it" ... people may not know what they are to each other, but they know THAT they are. Something. <3
Great beginning! I'm so happy for you and weirdly proud of you for finishing this!
It's finally here! Haha I'm so excited for you to read it, I feel like you've been such an instrinsic part of the entire operation. And yes, I am aware that when some of the things that happen in this fic have been revealed, I will literally have no leg to stand on when it comes to angst. This is ANGSTY.
But not yet! So, enjoy it while it lasts, and THANK YOU as always for being such a wonderful friend and cheerleader <3
