Let's see what parts of this my brain latches onto this time! (And yes, I meant it when I said it's even better the second time.)
Ahhh, I forgot how much I liked the natural environment doing its thing in the fic.
'Look, I don't know what you think you're playing at but I ain't got nothing else I can do for you.'
On the contrary, Nell...
I love Sofia sizing Nell up in church, sensing the gayness from a distance, but in time knowing that even looking is too dangerous.
as if she were a wild animal needing not to be spooked
I love this description, and it's fucking perfect for them both – with Sofia being so much less rash, but even in doing this very bold, risky thing, she's being so cautious.
the power she holds over the woman before her, even as she's the one bound to a tree.
Also excellent. <3
Nell thinks, if she did this enough, she could learn to play her like an instrument, each movement of her fingers creating a private symphony.
Okay, this is probably my fave.
Next time?
Yes, stupid. You think this loser is done with you? Idiot. (affectionate)
UGH, and Sofia being shy after. That's another thing I remember when I think about this fic. Even she's surprised she was allowed such a thing by Nell, and that she let herself be as openly into it as she was.
There may only be a handful of Nellfia smut fics, but we should all be thankful this is one of them.
(It was from holding the charger in position, shut up.)
Haha, yes. I think we've actually not talked about that much, but it's how I think it's most likely that they knew of each other pre-canon. A few glances one day every week with boring sermons droning on in the background, Sofia being told off by her father about not sitting still because she keeps trying to twist to watch whatever faces Nell is making at what's being said, or if she's found something else to occupy her hands with that week that she's fiddling with in her lap.
But thank you for revisiting this and giving such a lovely comment 🥺 I'm so glad this stands up for you, and that you even have specific moments that you remembered from it! 💚
