Okay f'real tho, when I say I cried, I mean tears were streaming! Sundays 'verse will always have my heart and you surely did not disappoint (as if you could). That was so beautiful and everything I could have even hoped it could be. I'm sad Abby's ignorance cause her to lose Elizabeth as a friend cause their friendship sounded so good. I'm so so happy she showed up to the wedding tho. Hope she stays in her grandbaby's life & doesn't become her father. Brb, gunna cry and read it again.
I think my favourite comments back from this oneshot have been the dynamic between Elizabeth and Abby. In the original fic it was almost a throwaway line put there to a) hurt Clarke and b) show her ignorance:
“I don’t want you seeing Lexa anymore,” she decides, like she has a choice in this, and the noise you let out sounds exactly like the tightening in your chest. She’s soft when she continues and you know what she’s doing before she even finishes; you know she’s trying to pretend to be the good guy now, especially now she has an excuse. “Lexa is a very attractive young girl. This is simply just an...infatuation, Clarke. A crush. You know when I was younger I used to look up to my older friend Elizabeth quite a lot --”
“No,” you cut her off before she can really pick up any steam and considering the tears flowing from your eyes, you’re quite proud of how strong your voice sounds. “That isn’t what this is, mom. This isn’t some hero worship or me wishing I could be like her, okay? I love her. She loves me. We’re together.”
Abby is so hypocritical in this though. She’s so desperate to not become Richard that she’s blind to the fact she’s...Well. Becoming Richard.
Absent. Judgemental.
Alone.
I’m super glad you enjoyed it :)
