And thank you again for that double yolker; among your best if not the best. I wasn't the only one who wanted a sequel.

You're most welcome my friend. I'm glad I was convinced to do a sequel. I'm thinking eventually there'll be more to come along the Marton line. Not sure which direction to take it yet.

I just posted all my MFU Easter stories on AO3 under "Easter Season UNCLE stories.." A new series.
I just didn't have it in me to write an Easter story for the Easter Egg challenge this year...there's always next year!

Funny you should say 'double yolker' as when making my eggs I've been getting a lot of double yolks, when I haven't seen one in years. Strange.

I certainly hope you do give us a third in the series; again, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'm sorry to hear there'll be no Easter fill from you, though it's certainly understandable. Hoping there'll be one next year. Also, shortly after I posted my prompt, about early partnership, you did post a good fic about early partnership. So you could say in a way you filled a prompt.

I looked at a lot of the prompts in MFUWSS for the Easter Egg challenge and for some reason none of them called out to me. I guess because Easter in real life isn't happening for me this year. All the family is off out of state and I was told 'sorry kiddo you're on your own.'

The church parish where I grew up had changed and devolved into nothing but a bunch of rich snobs. They built a big fancy and ugly church and now the small church there that I grew up with, and have a lot of personal and family memories with has been relegated to being a chapel with no Easter services scheduled.

The nearest other church is several towns over and I've been mulling around the idea of going there tomorrow but, that depends on how I feel when I wake up. It's always an effort with the walker etc.

Maybe even rich snobs take vacation from being rich snobs at Easter.

Hug and may your Easter improve!

Nope that's when the rich snobs get to show off... the parish has always been like that to a point, but once they moved to the new, very sterile, cold and way bigger church...they got themselves a new stage so to speak.

Don't get me wrong there's very regular and decent people in the parish too but I'm just turned off by the new church too.
