Story Notes:

I, Nichelle Wellesly, am in no way affiliated with any of the franchises represented here, including QAF and other well known brands. No copyright infringement is intended. The ORIGINAL characters, storyline, plot, places, etc. are the intellectual property of this author and are not to be used/ duplicated without the author's express permission.

 

So this is a continuation of Faded Pictures. Although it can be read as a standalone, it is advised that you read the series as a whole thus far. The same rules in terms of character development applies in this work as with the others. There is no anti-character warning because I intend to grow them into people that can be somewhat tolerated if not entirely liked. However, in order to do that, a certain latitude on my part needs to be given.

This means that as a rule, I really can't stand Michael and am ambivalent about Lindsay at best, and I stay true to that. So with the current life-stage they're in, they are going to be the same mean, spiteful and sneaky people they have always been to me. However, I will work hard at throwing them into situations where they are held accountable for their actions, and therefore have no choice but to grow as people. Ironically, it's how each of us have developed into the human beings we are as well. My goal has always been to write the characters as human as possible and this is me honoring that.

So that said, I hope that you all enjoy this continuous foray into the minds and motives of Michael and Lindsay. And not to worry... there will be some other prevalent storylines for other characters as well, since there is another installment after this one. But growing Lindsay and Michael into people who actually take other's feelings into consideration before they act is DEFINITELY stretching my writing chops.

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

~Nichelle
