haemophilusEach of these Frank/Barbara chapters takes so long to write I swear to god. I wanna do right by them! The fic is over 5000 words now which is just. . .so extra. Like, who else would write over 5K of this pairing? Literally nobody.
At least I can't say nobody asked for this fic. Often my really weird fics are just "so anyways. . .here's something nobody asked for."
I'm getting pretty sad about this pairing as they race towards their relationship's inevitable demise! I didn't know I had gotten so attached until I was like. . .wow these last four chapters are when it dies. Like, this is it for them. The end of the road. I started getting emotional about it. It makes me think about how when people start relationships, they expect them to work out most of the time. Here, I built up this relationship that had shaky ground to stand on but like. . .Frank and Barbara were together for a really long time. You have to start from a place where they expected it to work out and then it didn't go the way they planned. Those shitty foundations crumbled but they didn't finish crumbling until Dee and Dennis were almost thirty. So I guess for me as a writer there's a certain loss in my heart as I watch them fall out of each others' orbit.
