Absolutely fabulous story. I agree with Sandy. I hope that little caveat on the end indicates you may be inspired to continue to share this wonderful story with us.
Beautiful story. Society’s got a lot to answer for, but the challenges make for interesting tales! 😎
Wonderfully poignant story; so well told with memorable characters. So enjoyed reading, please continue to share.
I really like this. Adult emotional and language level, tightly edited. i found once or twice a 'her' instead of 'here', but other than that, well done! I could see it ending here, but sincerely hope for one or two more to round out the story!
This is a wonderful written story. Loved the whole premise and how well you brought everything together. Beginning with an old love story while developing a new one. Very nicely done, really enjoyed this one.
I loved your story Lucy's Letters. I especially enjoyed the hikes in the desert. I am an advid bird watcher and when Steph points out the Prairie Falcan, Berwick Wren and Gilded Flicker it was like I was there with them. Very enjoyable read.
Probably the nicest story I’ve ever read on lit. Absolutely loved the story. Told completely, and beautifully built up. I know I’ll read it again.
A feeling I had about 1/2 way through this story was that everything was progressing just a bit too fast for me, and that I might have enjoyed the development of Adina's and Steph's story at a bit of a slower pace. That said, pretty quickly you made me care very much about their story. By the end, I was disappointed only by the possibility that we might be done with them. and that made me sad. An absolutely 5 star + effort. Keep writing. You are very talented.
I really loved this story. So sweet and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing this with us. Five stars!
An excellent story albeit a little too rushed (falling in love way too fast). I really loved the characters and the plot. Thank you and I've enjoyed this enough that I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories.
A fabulous story! I loved the symmetry. Adina and Steph, granddaughters of two dear lifelong friends so suited for each other that they almost seemed to know each other forever and grew together seamlessly. A sweet romance at a time when they could openly be together where that was not the case two generations earlier. A very heartwarming and gratifying outcome for Lucy and Gabrielle. Audrey would have approved. I hope we see more at some point. Five stars, Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful. I agree with Marbury I think this process is worthy of a much longer form. I would love to see more about the relationship between them. I really love it but I wanted more. I did not just suddenly discover I liked girls after being married. I evolved in my feelings. I am still married but my husband is very understanding, it could have destroyed my family but he was willing to love me through this and was willing to let me go if I needed that.
What a beautiful, lovingly told story! You have quite a gift - and an impressive knowledge of birds 😊
Thank you for the comments. I totally get readers wanting Stephanie and Adina's relationship to take more time to mature and to evolve. For some reason, I've been trying to write against this desire to keep characters apart and impose barriers in order to heighten the payoff. Maybe it's where my head's at during these strange times, but I've been into "short and sweet" and I know it can come at a cost. Thanks for the feedback.
There's nothing wrong with a short telling of the beginning of what becomes a long story, and life happens pretty damn fast sometimes. Anyway, I enjoyed it! •‿•
WOW it was a very loving and personal story brilliantly written and telling all the problems they had and the secrets they had to keep and Steph and Adina became lovers and hope they get married and enjoy there life like Steph's grandma a very loving circle between these ladies hope it will not be long before we can read the next story about these four people and hope they become close and have lots of love and fun fantastic story thank you.xxxxx
And I meant to add, after saying "I enjoyed it," that I especially enjoyed Adina's well wishes in her signing of her letter to me, the reader. Very clever, and great fun.
As mentioned already, things went way too fast between them. Come on, a straight female flirting with a lesbian and then having sex with her all in less than 24 hours after they meet? Ain’t never gonna happen. Totally unbelievable. Had to deduct a point on this basic issue. Otherwise a decent story.
What a wonderful story and I'm so pleased that circumstances (the unexplained reprint of Adrienne's Duet Chapter 1) led me to it. In fact, I think I liked Lucy's Letters more than Adrienne. While I believe that Adrienne and Juliet's story has reached a natural conclusion, I think Lucy's Letters does offer scope for a further story. Five star (and more) enjoyable.
Beautiful Love Story!
I also was led to Lucy's Letters, by the reposting Adrienne's Duet, and am pleased that it occurred. Just a wonderful love story between two women with a unique historical connection🎉. Am anticipating many more nice stories from the author,
Definitely Rated As 5*-Stars!
although the frenetic pace at which the relationship proceeds - from strangers to fully in love within 24 hours - is pretty unrealistic, i liked the story overall: the characters, the emotions, the humour...
gave it a 5, despite the serious flaw i have already mentioned.
thanks for sharing
This was an awesome story! I was going to write you something nice to express my opinion but I can't say it better than Maonaigh did. So ditto to Maonaigh's comment!!! I look forward to more stories from you and hopefully more from Adina and Steph.
This was one the most beautiful stories I’ve read on Lit. I so look forward to a continuation of their story. Thanks for sharing the story.
what was the significance of the matching lockets given to adina and stephanie
I liked the plot. Although the relationship was a bit rushed, it could've been easily fixed with a quick montage of a few months between sections. (Eg: Adrina and Steph having too many deadlines to meet in person for 1/2 a year and only calling.) However, the main problem was that the actual writing didn't feel very descriptive of the sensory details. For example, during oral, how die the vagina taste? When they find the letters, how did Adina physically react? Did she clutch at her chest, feeling her heart pounding, or hear the crinkle of paper as she tightened her hands on them? Dont just say what she felt, but show it too.
You write well. I have read most of your stories and you have the ability to write an interesting story and weave sex
into but that is not the whole story. A lot of Literotica stories are too much sex, no suspense and a thin story. I have had a little experience writing as I am a Charter member of the S. C. Writer's Workshop. Haven't written in awhile.
Hard enough to find time to read. Thanks for your work
In the COVID era, I admit to some worry based on the comments in both your works about additional writing, plus your bio stating pretty clearly you're wanting to participate more here on Lit.
But, something caused you to crash onto the Lit scene March of 2021 and disappear in July. You're worrying me.
The premise of Adina's story was rock solid. As others pointed out, more depth was required to turn that solid premise into a great story. Your writing (grammar, turn of phrase, vocabulary) is better than good; it's great. Try zooming out just a bit and applying that talent to the larger tableau of the story instead of just the paragraph.
I believe you can do it. And I'd love to read it.
