Heh. I managed to hit a three-day rhythm somewhere early in the posting, and that got me the drive to stick to it the rest of the way through. (Though of course, your day might change depending on what time I post.) I must say, I'm quite impressed with discipline, especially through these last few chapters, when I hadn't banked them ahead. :-D
I figure that - aside from a year of maturing, and Elliot's support - it would have helped that Toby and Elliot were both braced for this. When you're blindsided, you react emotionally, but Toby anticipated all of it. It still hurts, but there's some perspective.
I can't tell you how happy (and relieved) I am that Holly's place in the story is working. It's risky sticking children in the middle of slash stories, but I really wanted this whole Toby/Elliot relationship to centre on them as fathers, and she's the anchor in the middle of that.
Toby can be quite rational and thoughtful in the way he talks about his addictions. I thought it might carry through to the way he presents them to Holly.
