I edited today, or thats how I used he half hour or so I found. Sometimes I feel like I'm being too hard on the characters and writing much more angst (of the relationship misunderstanding kind) than these poor folk deserve. I think I going to have to write a happy ending.

[littlebutfierce]

Oh no, I say torment the characters as much as you need to in order to tell the story you need to tell!! & if you end up pulling a happy ending off, then even better after all the angst. ;)

[lacygrey]

Wanting to cheer them up is a great incentive!

Not all relationships are smooth sailing. Conflict is something most of us can relate to on some level or another, so write what you need to. ♥

[lacygrey]

The conflict actually came from someone else's prompt to start with, its not present in canon (plenty of other angst there!) but now I feel sorry for them (and for the reader) so its a writing work out to get them out of it. Plus it makes everything else seem so warm and fluffy!
