I don't like the tension between Mattie and Ric and I hope they'll get through this. Mink's return may be a good thing if she manages to cheer Xavier up a bit! Oh no! Sasha! I understand she is upset but still... That's not good. Poor Ruby!

I've finally caught up with one of your fics! I'll make sure to check out the other ones soon. Ch 1: The three couples seem to be happy. After reading your summary, I know you're going to ruin their happiness, which is not good but I'm still looking forward to reading your fic. Lol at Sasha's last comment! She asked for it. It's nice to know she's joined the other Walkers. Ch 2: I don't like the fact Ric took Elizabeth to the garage. That seems too dangerous to me and as Romeo mentioned, if an official were to show up now, they're in trouble. I hope the guys will get some more customers soon. I'm glad Indi and Ruby are friends again. Ch 3: Talking with Martin could be a good idea. Morag knew what Matilda was capable of. Martin doesn't know her and should at least give her a chance. Sasha will have to change her attitude if she wants to make new friends. The proposal was lovely and I'm happy Ruby said yes this time. Ch 4: I like how VJ tried to get his hands on a glass of champagne but Leah stopped him. Loved the little chats between Romeo and Xavier and Charlie and Ruby and I’m glad Charlie and Xavier agreed to be part of the wedding. Oh no! Poor Indi and Xavier! Such awful news! Ch 5: I can see why Ruby and Romeo feel guilty but unfortunately, these things happen. I’m sure Indi and Xavier know they care about them and it’s not their fault if the baby died. The end of that chapter was heartbreaking! Ch 6: Jane is a lovely name! I feel so sorry for Indi. Ric is already struggling with the garage and this case won’t help. Ch 7: Martin seems to be close to that Linda woman. I have feeling this isn’t good. I hope Ric and Mattie will get past this. Poor Xavier! I hope he’ll be okay. Ch 8: It’s nice to see that Sid is accepting Dex and Casey’s relationship. After all they’ve been through, Ruby and Xavier still remain good friends, which is good as he needs her support right now. I like the way you are writing about the effects of Jane’s death on Indi and Xavier, but also how everything is also affecting their family, like Sasha. Ch 9: Xavier’s speech was sad but sweet! It’s good that Casey and Ruby finally talked things through and can move on. Ch 10: I just can feel the love between Ruby and Mink! It’s going to take time for Xavier and Indi to move on. Maybe some time apart will help. At least, I hope it will. Looking forward to the next chapter!

There's a storm. It started last night and is still going atm. So it's very windy and it's also raining quite a lot.

^ Macca was one of Martha's three adoptive brothers. He wasn't related to Brett Macklin.

I finally managed to catch up! I was sad to read it was the end though! Ch 17: I love how you brought back some familiar faces. I’m so happy some of Mattie’s siblings managed to make it. For a moment, I thought Tony was the one who wanted to give her away but Scott is a great choice. I was expecting Sid to react badly at Dex’ announcement, not Indi. Ch 18: I’m glad to see Indi is having a problem with her brother’s departure, I thought it was the fact he was gay that bothered her. I hope Indi and Xavier will get back together. Aw Casey and Dexter are finally together! I had to smile at Dex’ comment about the mechanics being different! I wonder what Nicole’s answer will be. Ch 19: Yay Nicole said yes! Poor Indi! First Dex is leaving, now Nicole. Fortunately, she still has Xavier. Glad they made up! Xavier’s face must have been priceless! Ch 20: Elizabeth is a lovely name! I suppose it’s in Beth’s honour, which is a nice touch! I wonder what Ruby is having! I don’t remember if it has already been mentioned. Ch 21: That would be an extremely bad idea! Romeo! Xavier and Indi’d better watch out. Gina and John might start smooching on the couch from now on as well! I like how you added Mink in that chapter as well! I’m sure she’ll have won that competition! Julia is a sweet name as well! The comments about Scarlett and Juliet were funny! Ch 22: I’m glad everyone is happy. What an ending though! Do people actually want a sequel?I've got a few ideas knocking around but they'd need a bit of ironing out. I wouldn't be opposed to it! Quite the contrary! *smile*

Sunny but so cold!

So many Dex icons! He has some funny facial expressions! They're all beautiful. My faves are 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 21, 22, 27 and 28.

Thank you Zoe, Carina, Leyla, Dingo, QA, Lesley, Stephanie, Laura, Sabrina, Zetti, Kristen and Danni. Danni requested some Charlie & Bianca icons in the request thread last week but I forgot to post them here so here they are. The girls look a bit weird in the fourth icon but they were dancing in that scene! Feel free to save and use anything you like. Just don't forget to CREDIT if you use them, whether it's here on BttB or any other forums/websites. Thank you.

Gorgeous updates as usual! My favourites are: - the April/Dex and Indigo icons from post #5474 - I love the Dex graphic from post #5484! - the first and second rows, the Casey/Ruby and Indigo/Nicole icons from post #5495 - the graphic from post #5507 is amazing. I love Charles' facial expressions! - the Casey/ Ruby, April, April/Dex and Nicole icons from post #5510 - the Casey/Ruby, Charlie/Ruby and Indigo icons from post #5518.

Ch 15: Hitting a police officer is not a good thing but I'm glad Aden didn't go to jail for something even more serious and he has learnt from his mistake! It was nice of him to buy George a small present. It seems like things are heating up between Aden and Ncole. It looks like Casey and Dexter may be more than friends. I laughed at Ruby's last comment! Charlie is pretty young to be a grandmother already! Ch 16: I've always wondered the same thing so I'm happy you brought it up in your fic! I liked Aden and Mattie's talk. Hopefully, Ric will listen to Romeo and try to warm to Aden. The Ruby and Nicole scene was funny! I think it was a bit funny how Dexter insisted on saying 'someone else' and not girlfriend! Dexter is right! Indigo and Xavier should get back together as they clearly miss each other. More please.

That's what Ruby was planning! I really didn't expect that! It's nice to see Aden back! Nicole and Aden's reunion didn't go well at first. Hopefully, he'll stick around. I wonder what he was in jail for and how he will react when he finds out about George. More please.

I'm glad you like them.

Greta chapter! Maybe Dexter shouldn't spend so much time planning their first time. It'll happen when it happens. Being intimate with your girlfriend for the first time shouldn't be in the backseat of your car near a party full of kids who could see you or when at least one of the partners is drunk. That's my opinion anyway! Besides, he shouldn't feel so insecure. If April chose to be with him, it's most likely because she likes nerdy Dexter. More please.

I'm sure Ric and Romeo think their girlfriends look beautiful. I hope Xavier and Indi will manage to make things work between them again. And lol at her naming all the guys she's slept with. It's a shame Casey had to leave already. If he had stayed a bit longer, Dex would have had more time to figure out how he feels. More please.

I made some. The girls look a bit weird in the fourth one but they were dancing in that scene!

Great start! Poor Dex! He had planned the perfect night and it didn't end the way he wanted it. April had a valid reason though. Irene needs her support and I'm glad Dexter understands it. He's a great boyfriend. They'll hopefully have another opportunity. He is indeed being a bit melodramatic! Please update soon.

I also loved the bit Zetti quoted! Poor Xavier! It looks like he finds it harder to move on than Dexter. I'm glad Ric asked Romeo to be his best man. I find it a bit strange that the best man and bridesmaids are people they've only been friends with for a short time. It's too bad that Lucas, Drew etc. are too busy. I wonder what Ruby has planned for Nicole. More please.
