So, I wrote a lemony outtake for "One Weekend." You'll have to tell me whether it's good. I left it on a happy note - but one that felt too flirtatious. I liked the ambiguity of making the reader decide whether Carlisle and Bella get up to anything more.
Yet, it bothered me more and more leaving it that way, like I was compromising myself. Part of "One Weekend" is about having a lover who is also a friend. Lots of people take exception to that - particularly since Edward and Esme remain in the picture. Leaving the outtake with an ending that was delightfully flirty made it feel like I wasn't acknowledging my characters' ability to step back. That was wrong.
So I got out of bed tonight to add a little more to the outtake that came to mind as I was reading myself to sleep.
The plan: to leave the already submitted lemon to post onto the DirtyCheekyMonkeys blog as it is. Posting will be June 15th.
Afterward, I will added to "One Weekend" on fanfiction.net with the outtake that includes the characters stepping back.
Hope you like both.
