I considered changing Katje's name, because I'm going to be pretty harsh to her character (though mostly in retrospect) and I didn't want anyone to think I was alleging she was Entirely Horrible, but... look, honestly? I had my heart set on a pun that doesn't work if I change it. :P (But also, like... WHY does she decide to mess with Daan in the first place? I couldn't figure it out when I watched the movie. Like, is she just fucking with him? Is she In Denial, and if so, what is she telling herself, exactly? What's the deal???)
Honestly, as much as I love TOG, after I watched Il Padre d'Italia it far and away took first place as my favourite movie and I am a little sad there's no straight-up fic for it. But this is the next best thing. :)
Thank you so much! I did used to work as a nanny, but all the kids I took care of were younger, so while I can avoid, like, the baby-talking five-year-old (...stories written by people who know nothing about kids are a TRIP sometimes), it's super nice to hear I've gotten the developmental stuff right so far. I hope it continues to pass muster!
