Didn’t you say you were on good terms with your in-laws? Or am I mixing things up?

It’s a little complicated! Generally, we get on okay. My mother in law let us live with her for a few months while we sorted out moving, and generally they both like me pretty well. My father in law, though, can be very controlling, especially in regards to money, and he doesn’t really believe in mental health stuff. So it’s a hugely good thing he’s handing it over to us, even though he definitely did it to try and make us flounder and admit he should help make our decisions.

Ugh, I’m so sorry. I’m so glad you have the ability to say no to him.

Thanks Geeky! It’s one reason I’m really glad we moved, my wife is much better at standing up to him at a distance. And now he’ll have even less leverage!

(I have asked if I can tell him that we might as well get my wife on my cell phone plan instead of his now too, do it full measure, but for SOME reason, my wife thinks I’d be too sassy about it. I would be, but hey, he started it.)

Congrats! No more in-laws! When can you move?

We move in January 2nd, which is the same day I start my job, but the holidays means nothing can really get done before then. We’re actually gonna come back for the bulk of our stuff the following weekend. It’s gonna be pretty hectic, but at the end it’s gonna be SO GOOD.

Oh man, OUCH. Setsuna wanting affection so badly and being denied is sad enough, but Michiru getting it, enjoying it, and then having to lie is absolutely heartrending. Poor Hotaru will probably always remember how critics Michiru was, never knowing it was to benefit Haruka and not genuine. I can’t imagine the difficulties of raising a child that ages faster than a fucking weed, and I really like that you’re exploring the fact that it couldn’t possibly be grandly happy for three inexperienced
women to take on the burden of raising any kid, let alone THIS one. I
appreciate that it’s somewhat happy in that they are all trying for it
to be, but with that fine layer of sadness underneath borne from the
delicacy of the soap-bubble world they’ve built for themselves. This is
great stuff!                    

 Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love the idea of the Outers Family as this almost sort of thing, it’s almost perfect, they’re almost happy, they almost made it. It’s such a tough circumstance when it comes down to it. I really like exploring the hardship and the joy together.

Aaaawwww poor Haruka! How she loved having a baby to take care of, and then that. That’s so unfair.
This is written so nice and so cute, and I can feel everything that poor woman goes through. Have I told you that I love your writing? I love it.

Thank you! I feel like in normal circumstances, Haruka would thrive as a parent, and even writing this hurt because all I want for Haruka is better self esteem and a good little family.

I AM CRYING!!!! This is perfect. This is….I don’t have words for this. It’s full of feelings and Mina and Rei and everything, and this is exactly how Haruka a would Rest to all the Wedding stuff and I love it.

Aw, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I felt like I got super carried away writing it, it was a lot of fun (and a lot of feelings)

Awww this is so sweet and the vows were so beautiful, just what was needed after Haruka’s fears in the beginning. Awesome job!

Thanks! I had so much trouble with the vows, and it wasn’t helped by the fact that when I looked up examples, the top result included some real women’s vows to their wives and I had to be a sap and cry about them 😛

REPLY TIME (Angstober 18/24) (I should really title all these but ah well)

You two are the best 🙂 This is good, I love it. 🙂

Aw, thank you so much!! It’s been really fun seeing what Doc does and getting ideas from what she writes. I’m glad you enjoy it too!

sailor-harmony said: omg this was so good I just want to strangle Haruka myself for not telling but she totally wouldn’t

Thank you! Haha Haruka desperately needs someone to talk sense into her.  I’ve debated writing Michiru finding out Haruka kept this to herself because I think that would be really rich ground, but I’m equally drawn to Mina lying to Michiru to make sure Haruka is only remembered fondly, so I probably won’t write either 😛

dreamshapers-universe said: Oh no this is so sad and I read it at work so I can’t cry! *bravely holds back tears* (someone should do a statistic about how often poor Haruka died during all of Angstober or at least got badly hurt / terribly ill XD)

CAN ANGSTOBER BEAT DOC’S 84 TIMES RECORD? (No it can’t.) Also you’re a much braver soul than I am, reading this at work. I see Angstober stuff when I’m not at home and I’m just like, NOPE.

The whole scene with her running with Himeka on her shoulders is just, my god.

Ahhhhh I’m glad!! I had a hard time with this, in part because I figured it was the only time we’ll see Haruka’s side in this  thing. I didn’t feel anything from it until I read it over, so I’m really happy I managed to capture something. She just has so much to lose. 

docholligay said: Also your haruka in the kitchen didn’t come off as wrong to me at all—I think of her as a capable enough cook, but certainly not a MASTERCHEF, and it’s VERY hard to make a symmetrical pizza, as someone who makes pizza on the reg.

Thank you! I worry about Haruka coming off as like, a bumbling sitcom husband, incapable of all things domestic. So I’m glad that it wasn’t the case here.
