Welcome! I'm glad you've decided to participate.

I especially like the ending of your story. It feels like even though the sisters don't have a perfect understanding, they managed to move on to a new phase in their relationship that might or might not grow further.

Thank you!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. :)

Weird question might be weird - you are dramaticowl from tumblr, right? :) Just having a "small internetz" moment. :D I'm (obviously) face--the--strange.

Also these fics, as well as some of the other fics you've recced here, sound like exactly my cup of tea... if only I knew the fandoms. I'm actually tempted to read them anyway (I'm just not sure if I'm going to understand anything without any knowledge about the canons). :D

Yes, I am dramaticowl from tumblr. Hi! :D

I think a lot of the stories I've recced can be read without canon knowledge. A lot of them take place before and after canon and they focus on relationships whose dynamics are clear on their own. I just wasn't sure enough about that to rec it in the no-canon-knowledge-needed post.

Hee, hi! :D

That's great to hear because this kind of gen/character study/slice-of-life feel that they seem to have is my #1 favorite thing to read. Also, I realized that one of your posts - and not even a rec - is a Mulan fic, so that's one canon I am familiar with. :D (I'm saving it to read tomorrow because right now it's ridiculously late in the night in my timezone.)
