Forging Love (Sofia Version)
Added 2025-08-08 12:30:03 +0000 UTCIgnoring whatever bargain now exists between Judith and the cat plushies, you look to Sofia who is suddenly overly invested in what she's crafting.

Much like a rogue windstorm, the abundant energy of Judith Wilcox should be harnessed, if not redirected, into something constructive.
It's more sustainable.
You glance up from your tray of snacks to lock eyes with Marigold who boasts a snug flower crown. Harvesting blooms from Mrs. Dorran's garden was easier than stringing them, but you managed to hold Judith's variable attention by promising her not one but two models. You're laid-back enough that you set the tray down, peering behind the sofa and patting Marigold's head before...

I was already smiling at your first line before what you said next intrigued me so much because I was wondering if any one of the Returning Visitors might see themself in Judith. π (Even more so how they /were/ prior to what went down with their grandfather and the house fire.) Jam was a prime candidate for this! (Admittedly, I was thinking more about January and Ruby being mildly enabling about hi-jinks.) Lol, Judith wouldn't mind shared custody. πThe reveal of her picture expanding to include more figures and her mild self-consciousness about her polka dots kind of took me out, so you are valid. She's fun. Mrs. Dorran bearing the mother-in-law title with the utmost pride! π₯° I can imagine a wedding magazine or two slipping into the B&B's reading material that's laid out on a coffee table/side table for anyone to peruse. It isn't exactly subtle, but not necessarily too overt either; she's just so /happy/ for Jam and S... even though there's no official engagement. π (That is such a pretty color! I also think it'd look wonderful on Jam given her hair color too. This is exciting for me because of something on R's romance route, but I won't stray! Just π at Jam liking that specific blend of colors. It's technically mentioned in the book rn though.π€) Yessss! Them silently admiring each other even doing the most mundane tasks gives domestic vibes, though S would sometimes probably prefer not to be caught, lol. There will be more Judith interactions! She'll play off the ROs differently given her opinions/understanding of them and how the RO in question might be inclined to handle someone so sassy and rambunctious who clearly cares for the MC (choice dependent bc you can be 'mean'?? to the kid if you want... I guess. I carry it through. π« ) I'm so happy that you looked up their meanings! π₯° Those flowers are so pretty for S, especially in romance S, also the shades they can contain and the fact the coloration is based on the soil would be an interesting tidbit that they'd know (also some allusions to their upbringing versus that of the other characters in TFS... Soil conditions.... Mrs. Dorran's love.) I have feelings about this flower for them in romance, basically. XD I adore that you mentioned how effortless their exchange is--it isn't necessarily intense af or heavy emotional, just them loving each other given what's going on and how they can be /comfortable/ together. β She would be such a good grandmother. I'd join in on the knowing look, tbh. π You're welcome! π Thank you for taking the time to read and being awesome; I also love how this hits differently after having recently read a low-flirt S Book One romance route. The 'stay' in Fernweh changes things for the characters in a variety of ways that we'll be digging deeper into.

2025-08-09 14:01:24 +0000 UTCThinking about how S would react to being called 'darling girl' and quietly melting. π« Thank you! I'm so glad that S's care made your heart full. π

2025-08-09 13:39:49 +0000 UTChehehehehehehehe Sofia π₯° first of all, I wanna say that I think Judith is very much like a baby version of January. So, yeah, Jam understands that fear about hearing her FULL NAME from her parents. Experiencing sudden fear when she hears January Frieda Cohen. What *is* Judith's middle name? I have to know for science! Judith drawing Jam and Sofia with the dog π₯Ί, Judith, watch out, you're going to get kidnapped (joking!!!!!!!). Jam scared to see Mrs Dorran hiding a frown, JAM HOW CAN YOU ALREADY BE DISAPPOINTING YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW. SO SOON. *shakes head* (Wow, after months of deliberation, I finally decided on Jam's favorite color, I never figured it out, even months after the alpha drop where Judith asks for the MC's favorite color (it's a wine-y deep purple-red/burgundy). Jam does like pink though, a little pop of pink or pink detailing, it's pretty.) kicking my feet and gigglinggggg over Jam and Sofia trading looks when the other isn't aware. KEEP DOING IT. keep seeing each other, keep looking for each other (bursts into tears). judith's innocent observation made S fumble, KEEP DOING IT. LMAO. I need judith interactions, she keeps the ROs on their toes. sofia beloved:" blue hydrangeas also reflect deep understanding and patience. Theyβre often seen as a sign of calm emotions and sincere intentions" kiss kiss kiss, I changed my mind. if only we could have returned judith to her parents earlier π the effortless way they exchange "i love yous" π₯Ί MRS D FAWNING OVER THE KID ART FOR THE FRIDGE. I BET SHE WANTS MORE KID ART FOR THE FRIDGE. knowing look at S and Jam. thank you aelsa π S content makes my day
