Every Beautiful Thing - Chapter Eleven

I can't believe it's been five months since I updated my fic. Life has been busy - in mostly good ways - but I've really missed Chuck and Ellen and all of you, too. I already have Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 outlined, so I'm hoping it won't be another five months to get the next chapters written.

Thanks to @shoshiwrites for taking Chuck ring shopping and coming up with this beauty for Ellen. I think it represents her perfectly.

Characters: Chuck Grant, Original Female Character(s), Joe Liebgott, Original Male Character(s)

Summary: A girl walks into a tobacco shop.

December 1951

Chuck hadn't been drunk in years, but he felt hungover when he woke up and opened his eyes. Ellen lay beside him, still asleep, looking disheveled. Chuck smiled despite feeling fairly horrible. No supper, an emotional night before, and lack of sleep left him feeling exhausted and with an upset stomach and lingering headache.

He needed to eat and wash up before opening the store. He carefully got out of bed and almost made it to the hallway when he heard Ellen stir.

“Hey,” he said gently. “You don't need to wake up yet. Take your time before going home.”

She mumbled something Chuck couldn’t understand.

“Sorry?”

Ellen sat up and wrapped the bed sheet around herself.

Ooh, for the OC ask, #13 for Cord. And #30 for Marj and Ellen, because I have ideas and want to know if you have any thoughts.

13) Does your OC have a rival? How did it start?

...oh my goodness, this is such a good question.

I think the obvious in-story answer to this question is 'Bucky, of course' but Bucky is more of an adversary than a rival. That starts when he arrives in England to assume his role as Air Exec - he's boisterous and perhaps a little ill-suited for the job and for Cordelia, who has been in England several months longer than he has and is coming to the war fresh from losing a guy she liked to a preventable air accident, Bucky's laissez-faire attitude really strikes her the wrong way. (Obviously that changes over time.)

This question does have me thinking about before the war and her time on the Powder Puff circuit. She was in that world long enough to get good, but she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who was ever competing to really beat a particular person (like Laura or Portia). This group is small enough that everyone knows everyone else - they don't really have time for rivalries unless it's something the press comes up with to sell more papers. I could see Portia making a joke about 'her esteemed rival' when she has to make ferrying stops at Thorpe Abbotts.

30) My OC and your OC are friends. This isn’t a question. I’m not asking. (How do they respond?)

Of course they're friends. How would they not be friends? Marj collects people like some people collect stamps. Chuck has married this woman and that automatically means that Ellen is now an auxiliary member of the Girl Gang and is on Marj's Christmas card list and phone tree. (Everyone was very worried about Chuck, after the whole June thing. They are so glad he ended up with someone like Ellen.)

Okay I've just finished Wishful Thinking and here's what I'm thinking

The book is actually decent and fun! Quite light, but also entertaining and sends an important message about the honesty in journalism. I admit the progress is a bit slow at first, but halfway through it, it gets very interesting!

MC has a good character development. She goes from a behind-the-curtains writer to a full-on detective & brave reporter! It takes a lot of courage to expose the truth especially in a scary political climate.

I initially don't really like the way PB portrays Ellen? It feels forced, like pitting an amazing woman vs another amazing woman. PB sounds like Alec lmaooo. But Ellen is written much better towards the end and I love it.

And now onto LIs. I'm sorry but as much as I love all three of them, Aubrey is the one who's constantly forced down our throat. 😩 I didn't take any diamond scene to romance any of the LIs, but I think Aubrey gets the most chance of having romance points with MC compared to the other two LIs. All I wanted was to kiss Jaime at the end but it's Audrey who came. 😔

OH CAN I ALSO ADD THAT ANNA KOISHI IS SO FREAKING GORGEOUS

and jinx, the sassy princess. i felt rOBBED WHEN I BOUGHT THAT DIAMOND. I WANTED MORE SCENE WITH JINX BUT ALL I GOT WAS JUST OCCASIONAL APPEARANCES.

AND THE EMUS. THEY DON'T GET ENOUGH SCREEN TIME EITHER. Especially since they're the ones who appear on the cover. 😤 #JusticeForEmus
