This story does such a good job of showing the wonder of the prosaic life.
A lovely piece of work.
Found this ongoing story such a delight as Clay meets the Genie. Another interesting chapter. Beautifully Written! Very enjoyable Read!
beautiful when you asked me to read it before you submitted it. I still think it is. You give a wealth of meaning to the limitations put on a genie and the yearnings she might feel within to know the simplest of things, such as holding your own child and knowing the incredible feeling of giving birth. What a wonderful way to humanize Laresa. Great Job, Red.
When you let me read it, I was thrilled to see how you made Laresa think about being a normal human, a woman. I still am.
You did a wonderful job.

Love the turning point, and a wonderful change of pace from the rest of the stories. Perfect way to get Laresa to think about being human again, too. Well done!
A great addition to the story...I love the depth you've added to Laresa! Thank you for that and thank you for the series in general!
Thanks for a wonderfully moving chapter in Laresa's story. Human tenderness, well told -- undoubtedly one of the nicest gifts I'll enjoy this season -- and so too will many other Lit readers. Thanks!
a lovely addition to Laresa's saga. I'm rereading this chain, and this is one of my favorites. You captured beautifully the divide in Laresa's heart: to be or not to be human again. The love & caring she experienced with the couple, and the joy of experiencing motherhood, were all written very poignantly. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I like how you took the story in a different direction, with less focus on the magic.
