Fluff fic progress

Seventeen pages† into my R/C fluff-fic (provisionally entitled "Newly Wed"), and I'm hoping the end is in sight; I've only got the Countess and "to hold me and to hide me" to work in. And the actual conclusion, of course, however that's going to come out...

† About 2500 words; it's a very small notebook that I thought should do nicely for a one-shot.

I was hoping I could get it in under ff.net's "K+" (Kids) rating, but in the event I just don't think I can. There's nothing at all explicit, but the implications are undoubtedly there.

Oops. I forgot that Raoul's nostalgic associations with the "Little Lotte" verse are likely to have shifted considerably after the events of the musical -- however fondly he remembers the actual picnics in the attic, etc :-( Fortunately that section took place as the precursor to a shift into protective mode anyway, so it's easy enough to shade it in a darker direction...

Still not finished, though I must be very near the end now; I've put the Countess in. Maybe another page? I should finish before the end of the notebook, anyway, although I certainly shan't get the 'family' fic in as well, as I had originally fondly imagined.
( should I cheat on the FFnet tagging? )

One of my anemones has fallen flat and seems to have snapped off from its root at ground level. Probably mechanical damage from drawing the curtain, I think, rather than rot or insect damage.
Oh well. I have four others and it wasn't doing anything interesting anyway -- just sitting there with its single leaf on a long stalk...
