I took about a five month break from posting on here, and then came back a few weeks ago mostly to update some mods I have, but today I finally decided to start catching up on this thread again. I'm in a splendid morass about launching our bear comrades from terminologically-challenged medieval siege weapons, but before I get to the parts covering it I have to say the last chapter visually met and exceeded prior expectations and gave a lot of great development of Denise; both in terms of her relationship with the MC and her coming into her own as a character, and the diner saga sort of forcing Macy to reckon with feelings that she had been avoiding is a great setup for future growth.
Also, looking forward to how Macy's new situation will affect the home dynamic now that I'm assuming she'll be around the house a lot more, and maybe we'll have some new routines to explore avenues for her growth. I'll probably have more to say later, as I stopped at the office trio part and I've still got over 100 pages of thread catch-up anyway but just wanted to laud
naughtyroad on his continued excellent work.
