Yeah! Thank you for this. It's great to have all of them in chronological order. Is there a reason you didn't link it to the IL universe? I'm not sure how that works in AO3.

  I intentionally didn't link to the Infinite Love story because I have a reader, far cleverer than myself, who makes a little mini book every time I update. This chronology would mess with the program she wrote.

We need a story about when they move to a bigger house. Cobble Hill had only 3 bedrooms. Now there is William, Bobby, the twins nursery, guest room and master bedroom at least.

  They don't move. Tommy has the house remodeled while Felicity is pregnant with Bobby. When they move in, the second story has three bedrooms and the third floor is disused. Tommy converts two of the second story bedrooms into three. They also remodel the third floor. William's bedroom will eventually be on the third floor. The twins share a room until they're 10. Bobby moves into William's room on the third floor when he turns 13.
  I've written a story about the renovations, I haven't finished editing it. The story is on my to do list.

  Because Life Lived In The Tabloids spans multiple years it's hard to place it on the timeline. It could be swapped with Baby Talk.

  There's overlap with the stories. But since the events at the end of, The First Time, occurs after the events at the end of, 5 Conversations, I put them in this chronological order.

Hi!
I love your writing!! I found it while I was looking something else and now I can´t stop reading!! Love your writing!!! I must tell you, living my own troubles and pains it was really touching the chapters where you talk about Felicity´s respiratory troubles, I have pneumonya four years ago and I can totally relate, those chapters where harder for me to read than the depression and infertility ones, and all this are topics close to my heart. Great Job!!! Thanks for sharing!! How can I get the updates in my mail?

Hey, just a question, shouldn't "reasons to date our brother" be after "all about the jeans"? In AATJ william says emma agreed to go out to dinner with him, and from felicity's and Tommy's response I just assumed it was the first time he finally asked her on a date. But in RTDOB they've already gone on a date and are talking about having a second one.
Sorry if I'm wrong I just had it in my head that that was the first time he asked emma out.

There are two #134 on this list. #83, & #113. Tess and reef the mainsail. I think some of the numbers after 134 are off on this list. The ones in the stories are OK, I think.
Thanks so much for this series, I love reading, re-reading, and waiting for the next instalment! I love how you make them feel so true to the characters, well accept the honesty. Because half of the drama in a TV show disappears when everyone actually talks to each other

lerayon on Chapter 1 Mon 07 May 2018 11:37PM UTC

I was prepping dinner earlier and got to thinking about William. (I think my mind wandered to Nate and Bobby making guacamole, and things took off from there.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A few questions, if you don't mind/have time and inclination:
What was it like when William first met the other members of his new family (Thea, Roy, Donna, Lance, Walter, et. al.)? The extended Quoaklyn family is so expansive and loving, I think it must have been an overwhelming process for William to come to know them all and feel included at first. My mind springs mostly to Donna and Thea because they are the "over the moon" types, though in very different ways. I can hear their excitement emanating from my screen upon hearing about him (once the initial shock passes).
How much money did Oliver place in William's trust fund, and at what age does he gain control? Are all of the kids similarly set up? (Ooh, side question: How is Grace doing at West Point? (Even though the timeline has stretched far beyond her time there, I think the time we saw her was just before she left for school.))
Did Tommy sit in on any of William's Team Arrow training sessions? Since he was the final say on whether William could hit the streets, I'm curious how Tommy went about that evaluation - beyond reports from his spouses, and maybe Roy and Dig. What were Roy and Dig's thoughts on William undergoing training? Thea's?
I hope you are well!

  It’s amazing what comes to mind during dinner prep. :-) I will try and answer all of your questions.
  The day after William showed up on their doorstep, he returned with his parents for breakfast. Thea and Roy joined them. Thea cried, a lot. She was 8 months pregnant with Mia and very emotional. It brought up a lot of complicated feelings about Moira. She was very angry at Moira, something she shared with her brothers, not William. She then promised to show him all the picture albums, family movies, and all the stories Moira told her about Oliver’s childhood when they thought he was dead. As for the rest of the family, he got to meet the whole extended family that Christmas Eve at the Queen Mansion. William was nervous, lots of adults with complicated web of connections, but he handled it like a trooper. Donna insisted on being called Grandma.
  The trust fund for all 5 children is identical. Tommy also gave William the same amount as he gave their four, adjusted to make up for 15 years of lost inflation. I don’t know if I had a specific number in mind, but each of the kids is a billionaire. The age to acquire the trust fund was much contested between the guys. Oliver wanted 30, but Tommy wanted 25 because of his own experience of being trapped under Malcolm’s thumb. They compromised at 27. They were also able to draw on the interest once they turned 21, but they needed to go through the trustee.
  Grace does well at West Point. I do have a fic planned that’s set after her graduation. The fic involves Bobby and William too. It’s called Gone Elvis, which is military slang for a soldier missing in action. Grace goes missing and William and Bobby go behind enemy lines to rescue her and then the three need to get themselves home. I have the bones of what I want to do with it, but I haven’t written it yet. I can never decide if anyone is really interested in reading about the kids without their parents or if I’m being humored. lol
  Tommy did see some of Williams’s training, but he trusted Oliver, Felicity, Roy, and Dig’s assessment of his skill level. Roy agreed pretty quickly - he remembers being that age. He enjoyed the hell out of making William slap bowls of water. Dig was more worried about Oliver. It’s one thing to send your brother into battle, it’s another thing to send your son. He wanted to make sure that Oliver had thought about the moment he would be sending William into a life threatening situation and the potential consequences. Tommy’s real struggle comes the first time William is seriously injured in the field. He begs Oliver to reconsider keeping William in a mask. As for Thea, she’s proud of her husband and brother, and she’s proud of her nephew too. She trusted that Oliver and Roy would keep him safe the way they kept each other.
  I think I got everything. I’m doing okay. I hope you’re well too.
