As you can imagine, the final fall out between them has to be a line that, once crossed, Noel is not willing to ever forgive. Will that mean he won't forgive at all? We'll see. He's patched things up with Liam in real life, why wouldn't he with his fictional sister? But that line crossed? It's something huge, something that most people (me included tbh) would perceive as unforgivable. Anais is involved, that's all I'm saying and Claire knows that she has fucked this up beyond the scale. She has never forgiven herself for it. Not are yet if I include the whole version, but it will surely be remembered by Noel. Also, we'll see the effect the interviews have had on him, because Claire's not the only one with crumbling walls around her heart and he is really scared he might lose his shit soon.

Little reflection on the Noel chapter I'm writing now. I've been writing and failing at different versions of this chapter for almost two years now. This time I'm closer to actually finishing it than before (Still a far way off though, he's a slippy little fucker that Noel) because the angle is different. There is a lot of Noel and Dylan scenes, but there is a lot, a LOT of flashbacks to the Gallaghers childhood, teenage years and early adulthood. I realized that that's what I'm best at, rooting the characters in their past and showing what shaped them. Also, it's the chance to touch on a lot of subjects that have either been subtly hinted at (like Claire's difficulties with food and the hints that she might have had an eating disorder when she was younger), but also set Noels POV in this really complex and complicated net of loyalty, disapointment, regret and still anger and hurt. To show that he misses his sister so much this absence has become integral to him. That her being not there might not have prevented the band from splitting, but it might have prevented the brothers from having a fall out (thank God those dark times are over guys and they like each other again lol). Also, I just love writing about their Burnage days. Also, great chance to show this very intense relationship between brother and sister, who have been in the trenches together (there will be a few war metaphors throughout the chapter, I think that fits Noels POV very well), but that this intensity is as much rooted in their love for each other as it is in being fellow survivors of an abusive father. Their trauma bond is so strong that it has always been their lifeline and the rope around their neck. Don't know, just a few thoughts. I'm just so excited to write this and it feels very good this time.

I kind of want to post a snippet from the Noel POV which is finally taking serious shape (reunion buzz). But how can I do that without posting it as part of my story? Anyone any ideas?

I have actually started writing the Noel chapter, wtf? Miracles do indeed happen. Who would've thought to see the day. Bands should reunite more often, works wonders for the productivity.

New chapter of Tender is out!!!

Might've written a bit for Tender. The reunion really drives my creativity. But also thinking about shortening the whole thing up, so the readers get a conclusion at some point at least.

Having secured tickets for Edinburgh next year and my two favorite Manc cunts being able to be in the same room again for the moment might tempt me to continue at Tender finally, ngl.

I'm going to see Oasis in Edinburgh. Crying right now.

HOW ARE YOU SINCE THE NEWSSS

They are back!
