Sneak peek
I LOVE the idea of Anthony's grief resulting in him being mildly haphephobic. Like, it takes him by surprise the first time he goes home with someone after the funeral (maybe the night of the funeral?). I would love for that to be a scene in the story, maybe a flashback? Or perhaps a drabble if it doesn't fit the scope of the story?
Totally. I think it adds weight to the fact that he trusts Kate to do this with. He's struggled with being touched but he reacts differently to her touch, and that's one of the reasons he chooses to have a sexual relationship with her. I think a flashback would be good, or him telling Kate the story while they're in bed together.
Oh i like that “most jealous” question. Which of your Kates you think is:
a. most possessive? b. the funniest? c. clingiest? (Is that even a word? 😆) d. most insecure? e. The craziest?
Most possessive is probably Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea Kate (and Anthony). They're hella kinky, but they don't share. They belong to each other and everyone else can look but not touch.
The funniest is probably No One Dies from Love. Just peak ridiculous, paranoid Kate and her inner monologue in that one was so much fun to write.
Clingiest is a tough one. I would say Lover, because she had resigned herself to a loveless marriage and thought she would always be separated from Anthony. So she would hold on so tight. And Before You Leave Kate since she lost her husband and Anthony is her second chance at love, and she's always a little worried that she'll lose him too.
Most insecure...probably A world without color is a world without you, and You Make Me (A Complete Mess). Those are the Kates who most believe that Anthony couldn't really be in love with her, even when he obviously is.
For the craziest, I have three. Passed Around (just a wild little freak), The Miseducation of Kathani Sharma (pursuing Anthony HARD even though their relationship is inappropriate), and Light it up (a literal killer and she and Anthony both get off on it).
Is there any chance you’d write a follow up to the Aunties chapter in For You, I am Fragile????
I would die to see the Aunties at some other event in the future (their engagement party? Someone else’s party) when they realise the dim witted surgeon named Dave is now this guy named Anthony who is not a surgeon but still engaged to Kathani? lol please, if you could I would love it so much
Lol! I'll put it on the list. Kate would 100% have totally forgotten she did that and then be like "oh, uh...David is his middle name? He goes by different names professionally and personally. Is he still a surgeon? Mmmmmm....he actually took over his family's company. He was also really shy the first time you met him. He'll talk more this time."
(Here's the original drabble.)
Hey, hope you're good. I have a question about the Virgin Anthony AU. Like, how much of a virgin is he? If that makes sense, ha. Like, before his father died and he became intentional about it, no kind of sex with another person at all? Oral? Failed attempts?
Good question. I could see him having a few attempts before he was 18. Some hand stuff and oral, but nothing really all that earth-shattering. Maybe after his father died, he went home with someone trying to drown out his grief, but he just couldn't really handle being touched and he freaked out a bit. And after that it just became easier not to even come close.
Who do you reckon is the most jealous Anthony you've written?
My immediate thought was Sharp Edges Anthony. That's a poisonous jealousy. Not only is Kate in a serious relationship, but he had a chance with her first and he blew it. And not only that, but he's jealous of his own brother. He hates himself for hating the person he loves more than anyone, and he doesn't even have the option not to be around them. And all that time, Ben has no idea.
Hey, there. Do you know if we are getting another chapter of Heal or the Virgin Anthony one shot next?
Hmmm not sure. I'm leaning toward Virgin Anthony but I haven't started either yet. Since I don't have an answer, here is just a little teaser for both:
Heal chapter 3 - Anthony finds Kate taking a nighttime swim (and is definitely not flustered by her being wet and in her undergarments, he's a gentleman, he's not looking-).
Virgin Anthony - Kate decides she'll introduce Anthony to lots of things over the course of their affair...including pegging.
No pressure of course, but you seem like the *perfect* writer for Virgin Anthony. I don't know if you realize how skilled you are at writing intimacy, but you are the standard for me, both for fanfic and published romance.
I can see Kate insisting Anthony sleep with other people, even though part of her dies a little as she does it.
Also, Anthony is a munch in every universe and I can see Kate being shocked that he wants to go down on her the first night and tells him he doesn't have to but he's like, "Of course I don't have to, but I want to. Do you not want me to?" And they just go back and forth like adorable consenting idiots.
Aw, thank you so much!! I really appreciate that. I think I'd like to write this as a one-shot or something. I'm surprised I never thought to write virgin Anthony before - all sluts have to start somewhere!
Kate definitely hates the idea of Anthony with another woman, she's jealous af, but she can't trust that his feelings are real until he's gone through his own exploration. The dirty talk when he comes back about how no one else feels like her would be *chef's kiss*.
I could not agree more about Anthony living between Kate's thighs. He would be so eager for her to teach him how she likes it, and then he would insist on tasting her first every. single. time. The first time she sits on his face he'd probably come untouched.
