Like when you describe a dance, you don't write how the left foot does this and the right foot does that, you describe how it feels, how it flows. Pile on the metaphors and feelings, don't worry about the mechanics. ”

Thank you for this! I’m pretty good at describing reactions, feelings, etc. in other situations, so hopefully I can do it here too, and it won’t be as awkward (to write) as the other times I’ve written smut.

That and: we made a bunch of summer dresses and they have no sleeves even though we're pretty sure you hate your upper arms! And why would you ever want to wear a bra with one of them?!?!

OMG yes this too!!  

I hate my legs more than my upper arms, so the sleeveless thing isn’t a big deal for me, but the bra thing is; also because I hate  my legs, I wear long dresses/skirts, but I’m a hobbit at best, and they’re all made for Amazons, so... yeah.  I tried one on once that literally had two feet of extra material pooled at my feet.

@the-singing-dove: thanks!!

@missmeggo929: I might just take you up on that! ^_^

Thanks :D (and thanks for the lovely review!) I know the open in a tab for later thing very well have a ridiculously short attention span (and a crash-prone laptop) so my Saved for Later list (AO3) is 9 pages long.

but you do have to figure out why she went alone

this is true, though probably not for this particular fic. probably won’t be delving into anyone’s backgrounds just yet.

You love your orphans

I do, I really do. 

At least for this particular fic, I won’t have to figure out why she’s an orphan.

So does that mean Ashley automatically dies on Virmire?

No, I’m gonna go with an Everybody Lives approach to Virmire. I didn’t want to kill Jenkins off there and didn’t want the choice to be human vs alien with Ash pitted against Garrus or Tali, so everybody lives. 

I’m stepping way out of my comfort zone with this fic by Ashley and Liara having bigger parts than usual, though Liara’s won’t be in person as much since Sophie will essentially be in her role for parts of it (Liara will still be Shadow Broker and all that jazz.)

@missmeggo929 yeah we have earplugs but I don’t use them often because I can’t hear my alarm with them in.

I finally went to sleep around 7am and the music was still playing then and still when I woke up at 11am. Finally stopped not long after that. I’m pretty sure somebody skipped out without cleaning out their room or something because management was cleaning it, dumping stuff, when I took Rocky out (boy was he pissed lol)
