Writing a sequel to Didn’t We Almost Have It All called Loving You Makes Life Worth Living (another line from the song).
Now, why am I considering this? I don’t know except it’s hard for me to let those characters in that story totally go. I’ll be honest, my experience with direct sequels on AO3 don’t do that great. I mean I am writing Best Friends 2 and I have absolutely done it before as well but the reaction is never as good as the first story and I don’t expect that to be any different in this case.
Obviously, I wouldn’t even start to post it or even write it until a few other things need to happen (finish Fever stuff, end a couple of other WIPs) but I am thinking of having it start in the summer. So anyway, that’s what I am thinking.

I don’t even know what to say.
The thought makes me shake. I barely survived the first one, it was so good and involved and deeply emotional and made me cry so many times. And made me wake in the middle of the night thinking about it and what if it wasn’t a fic but was real and my heart, my heart! And…and….and……
I mean, heck yeah, I’m on board. But I might need some Valium or whatever they give you now. My mother was prescribed valium, but I always thought, Lord if this is how it is with her on that stuff, what would it be like if she wasn’t? (She probably was allergic or reactive to it and they didn’t even realize it back then. It wasn’t pretty.)
But, you know, my heart has gotten me this far.
Just…..please add pics again. Maybe that will keep me together.
I mean seriously, I’ve never read anything that tore me up like that fic. But of course, they’re together now so………… so?? Some smiles? At least a few more? Yes?

Well, of course there may be some angst but certainly not like the first. And you may not recall but I wrote a flash for them in July 2020
as part of the Christmas in July stuff, so this would play a large part of the sequel

Dang – that hasn’t even been 2 years and I’d totally forgotten. And there is solid proof right there that I was on board for more even then. So – younger me AND older me both say – yep – go for it!

I didn’t remember when exactly I had written it but I knew I had so I had to search for it which is not very easy on WordPress LOL
I was glad I found it!
