>>75377363thanks anon, it really means a lot. I'll try to focus on the strong points you mentioned stood out to you even more in the future.
Introducing a "new challenge" after getting together makes sense, but seems like a headache if I were to treat it as a new whole story arch I'd have to grind through start to finish. I'm curious what you'd consider good examples for stories that play the angle of "time just for enjoying the relationship" well. I'd wager I've probably read them, but I'm curious what you consider "hitting the spot" in that regard.
I'll also keep the beta reader thing in mind.
