After a lot of false starts, here I finally am ๐ ๐
Beautiful updates, Sid, really - esp. the second one. Though I loved Tannu in the whole update, esp. her thoughts re: Pranay and Malli, and her "two moms and grandmom" ๐ณ ๐ณ , the minute Adi walked in I was mesmermised...I kept forgetting that at this point (coz its a flashie), they weren't in love, and for a moment I was like "huh, what did I miss?" when he made the "why am I thinking about her" confession to himself ๐ ๐ but as they go, it was a pretty decent flashback, incorporating bits of the real show (their thoughts and desires, really) but of course adding your own fictional element to it. Just loved Adi telling Mets about his date, and watching her sleep, and carrying her in his arms, and wanting to hold her close....*sigh* you get the picture, right? ๐ ๐ Amazing...loved the whole chocolate-coffee scenario, and the detail with which you write AM is impeccable ๐ ๐ I never feel like I am reading two alien characters, or that the AM of your ff are completely different from the AM of the show. Even though the AM in your ff have different experiences to the ones in the show...deep down they are exactly the same, and that's what counts.
Update soon, Sid, coz that was awesome ๐ณ
