I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.

Me, spraying bug spray: blocked.

Listen and sometimes? To enjoy running through a beautiful field of grass and flowers (ao3) you have to tolerate the fact that bugs (fics you don’t like) are there and maybe you will even encounter one, but you can use bugspray (filtered tags) to reduce the likelihood of that. Because the alternative is not getting to experience the beautiful field of grass and flowers.

And some of my mutuals happen to be entomologists. Which is also cool.

just reread the baltimore scenes and my god. andrew physically having to stop himself from punching neil after he said he was sorry because what do you MEAN you’re sorry???? you’re ALIVE and you’re REAL and IN FRONT OF ME and i’m relieved and devastated and you’re HURT and i didn’t PROTECT YOU and you SCARED ME and you LIED TO ME and the people who did this to you are the ones who SHOULD be sorry NOT you so DONT you fucking dare say you’re sorry, not like this, not right now, not to me

i love andrew sm nobody talk to me

rip Neil Josten you would’ve loved Goncharov

andrew coming out of easthaven and immediately being confronted with the truth that neil cares about him enough to get mega tortured is actually still one of the craziest things nora has written. "yeah my feelings for him have to be fake + from the meds because it's impossible for someone like him (someone who cares and prioritizes me) to exist" -> "what do u mean u signed up to be tortured instead of running away. what do u mean u would do it again even tho u failed because it was worth it"

addendum: if the cheeto dies this year I'll give yall an andrew pov story in celebration

Sometimes when my friends aren't in a touchy mood we'll just hold each others clothing/accessories instead of hands and all i can imagine is Neil holding onto Andrew's belt chain while Andrew holds onto the strands of Neil's ripped jeans
