Reply to comment by tsh87 in [WP] If you're truly loved by someone and return that love, neither of you will age beyond the prime of your lives. If you're old and you find into true love, the weariness of age fades and your body heals until you're back in the prime of your life. If that love ends, though, aging starts again. by archtech88
Oh, I'm excited now!

What a nice family!

James: I don't know what's going on or why you're so stressed 😃
Tony: No you do not and I love you for it 😏

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] Your Significant Other has landed a book publishing deal! You're very proud of them, even if you don't actually enjoy their writing. One day, on a whim, you buy an actual copy in a book store. It's nothing like the pages they gave you to read. Nothing. by veriverd

Reply to comment by Houki01 in [WP] You're a 'comically incompetent' supervillain for a group of C-List heroes. They are no real threat to you, so you endure their childish speeches. However, when the heroes raid the civilian business you run on the side and injure your employees, you decide to take yourself seriously for once. by Informal_Ad_6157
I LOVE this! And thank you for adding in the info about the meaning of the bouquet AND the verse in question! Together they give a lovely vibe of "you fucked around and found out". You are amazing.
This story as well! I love it! He's JUST ruthless enough to ruin them but not SO ruthless as to kill them. Tit for tat.
Also, I love that they only decided to up his threat level, not go after him and escalate things

Reply to comment by ApocalypseOwl in [WP] There is a place. A place between places. It's an actual place but it isn't here nor there. Lost travelers are the only ones who can find the place. Staying for a night, safe from other places and other things, and nothing more. Except you. You were born in the place. by Horror_Librarian_133
Lovely as ever!

Reply to comment by ApocalypseOwl in [WP] Precursors like to help young species in much the same way that some people like to help stray cats. Humans are raccoons, being helped by the precursor equivalent of a respected but nearly blind old person. Other precursors are confused while other young species just think we're odd cats by archtech88
The feeling is mutual! Now my mind is spinning at the various interactions of precursors and species.
+++++++++++++++
<bracketed words> have been translated from Precursor
+++++
Another Precursor: "I like two things - <gettin' high> and <pettin' my cat>"
The Same Precursor: Is holding the species equivalent of a very calm opossum
+++++
Precursor1: "They're my <stinky boi>"
Precursor2: "They are <a skunk>. You have <a skunk>"
Precursor1: "And I love them"
Precursor3: "Is that why I <got sprayed> after I met them? I thought they just <looked weird>"
Precursor1: "They only did that because you scared them. You have to be gentle around them"
++++++++++++++++
Another Being (AB), only mildly confused: "So you're dating a star that has become sentient?"
A Human (AH), in love: "Oh they were always sentient, I just set up a translator and ... well, the magic happened. Her name is Jenny"
AB: "That's ... huh. It's different. She seems nice, though"
AH: "She's wonderful"
AB: "Well I'm happy you're both happy"
Humanity's Precursor: <is very proud>
Other Precursors: <Trying not to be horrified>

u/ApocalypseOwl your stories are always a delight and treasure to read! This is better than anything else I could have hoped for in a response. I cackled when I reach the first portion and felt a swell of happiness when I read the second portion. Thank you for this wonderful story

First, I love this. I love the twist. Second, is this a fix fic for your other story? Because if it is then I'm genuinely delighted, because that would be the sweetest reason to time travel
