Aw, goodness. As I continue this fic, I get more and more into it, especially with handling the development of their relationship (which takes a steady hand and a level head to write), so seeing that you're just as enthusiastic is wonderful.
I still have to practice a level of restraint, but after what they've been through, Fredrick would be ready and willing to express how he feels for her, even if she can't quite acknowledge it yet. I love writing Edwige, which is kind of ridiculous as she's mine and all, but I want her to be able to fit into their world without intruding, allowing her to interact with Fredrick and Shosanna without forcing anything.
With as serious as the situation is - they are all they have left - and having to now face his actions in Italy - Fredrick is becoming protective of what he has with Shosanna. I enjoy exploring that mature side of him, the side of him that is influenced by Helga, the side of him that doesn't want to be like his father.
I was especially careful with the Marcel scenes and I like how they came out. Referencing that scene in the film, she tells him he's the only person she trusts, but we know that wasn't true; to have her tell him of her trust in Fredrick is how he knows that part of their lives has ended. As much as I LOL MARCEL, I have to treat the situation with respect (unlike other fic I've found wherein she completely disregards what Marcel feels).
OMG WHAT A RAMBLE. I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH, PIECES.
