eeee it's always such a rush when a writer you admire reads your fic. thank you. i love hurting these men but i usually chicken out at the end and wrap things up in a way that feels hopeful, at the very least. but i've tried to use this fest as an exercise in stepping out of my comfort zone, and i like where this landed. i've realized i write a lot about grieving the loss of people who are still very much alive and so this was a lot of fun(? lol) to explore
