absolutely loved this! A really great idea to do a different story each chapter. You should totally make some of them separate stories.

What a great series of stories, I enjoyed them all, especially 'U is for Uncomfortable.' I hadn't considered the Helen/Adam dynamic after the break up. (It also made me wonder about the Helen/Bonnie response, since she was in Helen's class by that time.) I look forward to reading any and all future stories as you are one of the best I've read in the fanfiction genre.

Nice bilingual pun, ending "Touched" with "Touché".

I'm sorry to hear of the tragic circumstances of your two friends, and I pray all works out well for them. Looking forward to your return when life returns to a more normal level.

I like these slice of life stories so much. Each one makes me want to know more, and yet they all stand up well as a story on its' own. Great work.

Dear Charles. The female mind works in mysterious ways. A little nudge from the hormones when on a bad mood; and I'd be willing to throw a shoe at somebody. Or a plate. A kettle will do too. Are you volunteering? ;o) Not everything Joan says and does is dictated by God.

Awesome job on the stories again, TJ! Absolutely loving this. ♥

I'm afraid I'm puzzled by this one (H for Hurt). Granted that Grace doesn't know all of Joan's secrets, what on Earth motivated Joan to throw a high-heel shoe at Adam? It definitely doesn't sound like something God would tell her to do.

So very sweet and touching. The mature Joan and Adam are much more sympatico than their high school selves.

A short, sad slice-of-life that made me want more. It's amazing how much you can express in such a short format.

I love reading your fics. You get the characters so well. I find these little stories very intriguing and easy to read. They make me smile. They're like these little windows to the Joanverse. You write so well, it's like they all come to life for a minute. :)Can't wait for more.

Wow, that was an intersting side of Adam. I assume Layla is from your Butterflies universe (it's been a while since I read it, and my memory isn't the greatest). They make a fascinating pair.

I really like these short, slice-of-life stories. It was fun to see the Adam/Grace friendship before their lives got so screwed-up.

I love the interplay between Grace and Joan. I know this was "Bitter," but Joan seemed a bit too bitter for even this point in her life.

I love them all but, so far, "D is for Disappointed" is my favorite. We're getting to see the beginning of a period in Adam's life that's been aluded to several times in "Butterflies". We kind of saw the end of this period in "Jane", and here is the starting point of the Adam/Layla relationship. Great job!

Welcome back to JoA fanfiction, you have been missed! Loved the slice-of-life ministory, and I look forward to more.
