ʚ Angel ɞ

You end up standing up for Xeno in the beginning of your freshman year when he's being bullied by your friends

They all roll their eyes and turn their noses up and tell you that he's a loser who isn't worth your protection.

You've gone to the same school as him your whole life

You just never ran in the same circles, so you never got to really talk to him before

But even still, you argue that he's actually pretty cool, and didn't they know he was your friend too?

Yeah, you totally hang out all the time when you aren't with them

Oh, prove it? Um, well, uh-

"He builds rockets!" You shout it after a quick, panicked scan, where you see a NASA pin on his backpack.

"We-we were even planning on setting one off this weekend!" You add, face burning with mild embarrassment.

You just hoped you weren't making things worse.

A teacher ends up breaking everything up, and sending you all on your way

After rushing out an apology, you practically run from him.

Your friends refuse to let you sit with them at lunch, leaving you flailing for somewhere else to go that wasn't already full

That's when a hand grabs your elbow, startling you.

Stanley Snyder, objectively the most beautiful boy in your grade, is who stands there.

"Sit with us," He says, giving you a little tug.

You let him drag your bewildered form away from the table of scowling former friends, all the way to the other side of the lunchroom.

Xeno looks up from his lunch when Stanley drops his stuff onto the table and sits across from him.

You hesitantly join them, sitting to the right of Stanley, just off from being directly across from Xeno

When you ask why they invited you to sit with them, Xeno raises an eyebrow and says, in the most casual way possible,

"We're friends, aren't we?"

You flush, but you don't argue.

You had been the one to make that claim

And never once, in the days that follow, do you regret it

You do, in fact, set off a small rocket that weekend

You find out, about a year and a half later, that that had been the day Xeno fell in love with you.

Stanley's affection came soon after, since you started spending every day with the two of them

There is an intense Mario Kart battle between the two of them that you don't know about that decides who gets to kiss you first

He asks you at one point if you want anything and you politely decline saying you don't want to bother him and scurry off before he can try to convince you

Stanley talks to Luna about your interests and what you did before joining the colony. She tells him that you spent a lot of time collecting stuff from the forest.

He asks you to accompany him on a little trip to the forest to see what you like collecting and see if he can make conversation out of it

You end up collecting flowers and other small objects; at one point you put a purple flower in his hair

"It matches your lips."

He had Xeno dry the flower out later to keep it

You eventually come to the lab on your own when the two of them are in there and ask to borrow some supplies; Xeno agrees to course and grabs them for you

You sit a bit away from them, and they whisper to each other while looking at what you are doing. Stan crept closer and saw that you had a journal and were making paint Xeno came beside him to watch as well

They looked on as you painted and colored on a page you had already drawn previously

Xeno and Stan ended up gifting you better supplies and giving you other lovely items like cosmetics and such.

You gave them a portrait of the fortress you all currently reside in, and Xeno put it in his lab.

Eventually, after pining after you, accepting their gifts, and spending time with you, they take you on a cute date late at night and ask you to be their third.

"I thought you guys were married?"

"Always room for one more sweet."

You guys totally have matching rings

When the three of you are official, you probably start stealing their clothes. Whenever you steal Xeno's coat, it makes him want to jump you right then and there. Stanley personally loves it when you wear his lipstick; it makes him want to cover you in purple marks all over.

It was never easy.

Stanley gone for months at a time. 

It was never meant to be easy. And it wasn't. 

Being unaware of how your partner was, not being able to contact him sometimes, and not knowing he was safe drove you mad. 

With each return you found yourselves sticking to him like glue. You'd never let him go, never wanting him to leave again.

But he did. He had to.

And you'd wait for his return, again and again.

And then it happened: you were all petrified.

For years you tried not to think of never seeing your partners again, never seeing Stanley again.

And when you were de-petrified, you realized how different things would be. And you realized that you'd never have to miss him for months on end. 

And all of a sudden, it was so much easier.

Notes:

This one is also really short (whoops)

Notice how I'm just pumping out StanXeno x reader? Yeah that's gonna last a bit there are so little fics 💔💔

"Keep your eyes ahead." He murmured while steadying your hands again.

"That's what I'm doing." Snipped at him, heat rose to your cheeks as you tried to take this seriously. He chuckled and instructed you on how to fire the gun before backing away and letting you take the first shot. You let out one more shaky breath before pulling the trigger. A wish of air rang out, and metal hitting an object echoed into silence. You looked at the target in slight joy before getting disappointed; you sighed before looking back at Stanley again with puppy eyes, hoping your shoddy aim would make him drop the matter entirely.

"Why are you making me do this again?" You pout as you ask him. He drags on his cigarette, comes closer, and rubs his hand over your shoulder.

"Just because we live in a stone world and are advancing quickly doesn't mean we won't encounter future troubles," he states plainly while holding your chin between his fingers. You grumble at him being right, batting your lashing and hoping for mercy.

He decides instead to continue your impromptu training. He hands you the gun again and spins you around to reface the targets; before you can complain, he kisses you and brushes his hands down you again, backing off and letting you aim once again. You aim and let the second shot ring out, and when you glance at the targets, you drop the gun and spin around, hugging Stanley in pure joy at your accomplishment. He chuckles while spinning the both of you around; he lets you down and holds you close to him, wiping the previous lipstick mark he left on you affectionately. You wrapped your arms around his neck and rose onto your tiptoes for a genuine kiss as a reward. He allowed you to have your way, pressing his lips against yours and smudging the purple around your lips. Gripping your hair in his hands, you sigh softly at his rough touch. You both stop for a breath, mainly for you. He seemed to breathe easily compared to your excitement.

"I'm training you for when I'm not here." He wipes at your lips a bit to make the leftover purple look more even, then says, "If I'm not here," before patting you on the butt. You lean into his hands. "I hope you know we're not done here." You felt like crying; this might as well be torture at this point.

"Aim, Cadet; you'll be almost as good as me by the time we're done." He chuckles while you get into position, readying for the next shot, but before you can fire off the shot again, he comes and whispers into your ear.

Tenderness For The Coffee

Synopsis: Xeno is experiencing a midlife crisis, and a young barista appears to be the answer to sweeten his bitter life.

I. Sugar Cube

II. Feels Like Sugar In Me

III. Epilogue

*Completed*

Teacher's Pet

Synopsis: Dr. Ishigami, a beloved professor praised by his peers and even more by his students. Known for starting his lectures with awful science jokes that coincidentally elicit laughter, for falling into tangents that leave him winded, and for teaching with an infectious smile and laughter that spread across his lectures, only to fail to reach the student he desperately wants, you. You are what he considers a rare scientific prodigy! You have a knack for picking things up quickly, yet you have no interest in pursuing a career in science. Countless email threads, staying behind after lectures, and invitations to private office hours, Dr. Ishigami is determined to change your mind.

[PENDING]

Off The Menu

Synopsis: Officially retired from the U.S. Marine Corps, Stanley finds himself back in his small town, in the dingy diner where he spends his days loitering. Older and bitter, with his right foot occasionally giving him trouble, Stanley drives away all the waitresses with his crude attitude and responses, except for the only person who spits his attitude right back at him.  

[PENDING]

Past Due

Synopsis: Playboy Ryusui finds himself at the local city library, holding an old book falling apart at the seams, which he found left behind at the café he frequents. A simple transaction leaves him infatuated with the cute librarian, who barely meets his gaze and is quieter than a mouse.

General:

As a soldier, Stanley already doesn't really have anyone to have much physical intimacy with.

After the petrificaton, though, it gets worse.

Now he's surrounded by people he has no interest in touching, save maybe Xeno but even then contact between the two of them is just as rare as it was before

So he just. Doesn't touch anyone.

Nor does he let anyone really touch him

I'm talking, no high fives, no arms around his shoulders, no graze of fingers when handing him something, nothing

If anyone other than Xeno gets too close, he jerks away and glares

With His Partner

You are a special exception

Your hands feel nice

They're soft and warm and caress him with such tenderness and care that he genuinely doesn't know what to do with himself

He fucking loves it

It makes his brain turn off, and his body relax

Its the easiest way to calm him down when he's angry or his adrenaline is running high

Sleeping alone? Not allowed.

Either he is laying his full body on you, or he has you laying your full body on him

Have to be touching at all times

If you are separated for an extended period of time, be ready

Deleted Scenes

You'll probably kill me for not including these, but here are my (polished) notes on scenes I was gooooing to write but didn't.

[Part One] Nothing was cut because I thought this would be a one-and-done story, so I gave it everything! Oops!

[Part Two] I originally intended for there to be a scene at the mall where Reader bumps into Luna in person, who helps her pick out a nice outfit. When they realize they're going to the same expo, she was going to offer to drive Reader. It would have also let Carlos and Max meet Reader sooner, which would have let them matter more later on and be protective of Reader's statue (thanks to Luna worrying). There was also a point where I considered that if Stanley and Xeno were a little mooore yandere-leaning those two would notice their attachment to her was a bit creepy and point out their more concerning habits w/Reader. The main issue was finding a good flow without overindulging in my own love for Luna, but the bus idea where Reader meets Chelsea also seemed like it'd work just as well!

[Part Three] I wanted there to be actual scenes of Reader interacting with the kingdom of science. She was going to train with Hyoga and Kohaku since she was starting at ground zero with fighting experience. It would have led to an opportunity for Reader to actually physically fight to stop Stanley later on, which he would find both hot and be jealous it wasn't him training you. There was also going to be more friendship buildup with Chelsea and Luna. Reader has experience (whether she knows it or not) romancing Xeno, so she could help Luna w/Senku, and she was going to talk more about academics with Chelsea like they did at the expo. I imagine Luna would slowly lean more into science talk and reignite her passion for nursing because of Reader n Chelsea. Senku and Reader were going to form a similar assistant/scientist friendship to Reader and Xeno, which was going to cause a little jealousy arc with Xeno. Senku just likes having someone who knows how to organize info he needs and who he can bounce ideas off. Of course, Suika and Reader were going to have small scenes in all of the above where Suika is kind of tailing Reader because she's so willing to teach her whatever she asks. It was also going to help support the idea later that Suika sees Reader as a strong leader and mentor. This was cut mostly because I wanted to focus on the story between Stanley, Xeno and Reader but also because it would have easily added another 10k words to my plate,,, oops

[Part Four] Originally, Stanley was going to be the one locking Reader in the cage directly while Ginro and Matsukaze were present. Matsukaze was going to slip Reader the mini knife Gen once used to break Hyoga's spear. I ended up changing it because explaining why Matsukaze now had that knife and didn't keep it to free himself and Ginro was difficult. Also, Stanley doing it himself seemed too personal and would only serve to anger/hurt Reader more, which would have needed an entire extra chapter just to work through, imo.

[Post Epilogue] Stan and Xeno each give Reader an engagement ring, one on her left hand and the other on her right. Their proposal happens before Stanley's departure, and their wedding happens when he gets back. There's a moment where Xeno says it reminds him of when Stanley would leave her with him for the week at his lab, and how his trip to the moon was akin to his trip to Austin and back alone. He's certain Stanley would have done a one-way trip to the moon if it weren't for how much he wanted to come back to see her. The same way he could have left her with Xeno for the summer but chose to do the four-hour trip just to see her.

Bonus Headcanons

Little things I imagined between the three that either weren't big enough to make a scene or were unrelated enough to the plot not to fit in.

Pre Chapter One:

✦ ── They met you only a few weeks after meeting eachother, when you moved in next door to Xeno and transferred to their school. You were curious about everything they did and kept a little notebook, writing down everything about Xeno's projects and tracking which flavours of lollipop Stan ate most frequently.

✦ ── You were Xeno's assistant immediately. While he focused on inventing, you helped keep track of data. You were also Stanley's cheerleader, cheering whenever he'd practice with his toy guns or use one of Xeno's constructs.

✦ ── As you guys got older, you were all in completely different classes. Xeno took academic levels and advanced university courses, you took a mix of academics and standard, and Stanley was in workplace levels. Stanley snuck into any classes you and Xeno shared when he could get away with it, though.

✦ ── You were the one Stanley called for his 'first call home' during Marine boot camp. He did not warn you. It was terrifying. But you did get mail from him throughout his training! Your letters back kept him going (not that he wasn't already top of his cohort).

✦ ── When you all graduate, they absolutely spoil the hell out of you on birthdays, holidays, and any excuse they can get. Stanley helped you move to your first apartment while you were at the Diner, and Xeno sent care packages alongside the NASA magazines with fun trinkets and sneak peeks at the archives when possible.

Post Epilogue:

✦ ── You become the first archivist of the new world and end up owning the first library (that Stanley helped build and Xeno made the schematics for). It's full of books you write on everyone and their journey and document advancements. It's also a museum of anything left from the old world, such as a piece of the Buddha statue and Byakuya's record.

✦ ── Stanley takes on training you. Yes, he is still jealous that Hyoga and Kohaku taught you. Yes, he is going very easy on you, and you aren't learning as much as you would have with them. Yes, you still do it anyways.

✦ ── Chelsea and Luna are in fact your best friends; you guys become something of a well-known trio. Xeno and Chelsea get along much more than he expected, but Luna and Stanley have a mock rivalry going on because of her tiny little crush on you. Well, she's joking, but Stanley is at least a bit threatened.

✦ ── Gen and Chrome become good friends of yours. Chrome likes to contribute to your museum and library, while Gen just genuinely enjoys your advice and company. You go along with his schemes so obviously.

✦ ── The three of you do live together, no doubt about that. Xeno's lab is in the basement of your archive, away from the actual house, both as an archive of materials/chemicals/whatever the hell he's doing and because he wanted to work near you. Stanley has mostly retired from work; he just helps you around with lifting heavy things and going on expeditions for things you need.

Playlist & Commentary

When I write, I tend to loop a specific song that suits the mood until a given scene is over. I took the liberty of compiling the songs and noting which scene so I could share them.

Part One

Scene A 'Visit at the Diner' Song ── National Anthem by Lana Del Rey This entire story was inspired by my own job as a hostess. It was a super quiet night, and I was thinking about how lovely it'd be to have these two visit! The bickering coworkers are inspired by two of my actual coworkers. Once I said the words 'special someone' completely unrelated to dating, and one of said coworkers was ON ME about who I was dating!! No one girl!!!!!

Scene B 'Acceptance to University of Texas' Song ── Lovesick by Laufey It took me an embarrassingly long time to decide how Reader would go back to the 'thanking us' part. I rewrote it about five times and still feel like it's awkward...ish!

Part Two

Scene A 'Apartment with Stanley' Song ── Fall From Grace by Langston Francis I just described my exact breakfast that morning, to be completely honest. Sometimes my need to be accurate to life means I consult my friend in Austin on little details about the city and research how tall buildings in Austin actually get. When I write reader-inserts, I try not to describe any personal items of Reader but apparently the scent of that body wash NEEDED to be coconut vanilla (NATIVE bodywash anyone?). I actually fought myself on whether to keep that detail or leave the scent ambiguous way too many times to count. Still kinda do.

Scene B 'Xeno's Thesis Topic Help' Song ── Strangers by Kenya Grace This song mostly suits the drive to see Xeno and the drive to his house, what I imagine would play on the radio and suit that late-night/early-morning sleepy drive. "You can't tell that from what I wrote" is a reference to SOMETHING that I unfortunately forgot, but I will edit this if I ever remember!

Scene C 'Hotel in Santa Cruz' Song ── Falling Forever by Dua Lipa Genuinely had so many tabs open for how long flights to Santa Cruz were, the drive to the national park, and if the planes were 2- or 3-seated. I was way too invested in accuracy. I over-described the hotel setup because I also work in a hotel. And it matters to me, so badly.

Scene D 'Breakfast with The Boys' Song ── Cherry Wine by Grentperez My favourite scene to write for this fic honestly... It was the first proper flirting happening with both Stan and Xeno, and the setting was inspired by a breakfast I once had in a very lovely hotel. This was also when I decided I wanted the epilogue to have a parallel to Xeno and Reader enjoying tea. This time he left, and it was just them, so I wanted the epilogue to be Stanley joining them instead.

Scene E 'Bus Ride with Chelsea' Song ── Gamesofluck by Parcels Okay, yes, I love Chelsea a lot!!! Maybe I just wanted an excuse to involve her in a big way!!!! But this was a really pivotal moment for Reader to meet someone other than Stan and Xeno and realize that her friendship with Chelsea is what a normal friendship looks like. Whatever she has going on with Stanley and Xeno is defo not platonic. I also kind of hinted at Chelsea being aromantic for funsies!

Scene F 'Arrival at the Expo + Whats That light?' Song ── Stole the Show by Kygo The actual chapter that made me realize I was leaning into Stanley and Xeno being yandere, at least a smidge! I saw this artwork by @/beremy-from-trigun way after writing this chapter and thought it really looked like when Stanley was pointing out Reader to Xeno. I """accidentally""" made Reader kind of flirtatious with Luna, so Luna has the tiniest crush on Reader, which ended up becoming my personal inside joke. Also, I got a personal kick out of writing such a fun and light scene before ripping it away with petrification. Sorry, guys!

Scene G 'Petrified Soldier' Song ── CHIHIRO by Billie Eilish Genuinely, this song combo while writing this scene made me sob. It's not a crazy impactful scene, but knowing that Stanley already missed Reader from the moment he was petrified and all he could think about was failing to protect you + that you may not survive this? This song also represents their relationship as the series progresses. Stanley is constantly battling himself between how he imagines Reader will react to his actions and what he has to do to protect her statue and Xeno.

Part Three

Scene A 'Petrified Scientist' Song ── The World We Knew by Frank Sinatra Xeno knows what will happen to the world in the time that has passed, and that is why he's so damn worried. Awake or not, the truth is that he wants you to be safe and not have to worry about the basics of survival. Hell, he'd rather not have to worry about it either. He's confident in his ability to save you, but he can't help mulling over every possible scenario in which you are lost. It drives him crazy.

Scene B 'Coping without You' Song ── Eternity by Alex Warren This song is kind of the main song for the entire story, but it pertains to this scene the most. I wanted to show that Reader is still one of their first priorities and how they can only push their worries for her aside for so long. They start confident and focus on survival, but as the scene goes on, they break down into habits that show their yearning. Since Reader isn't there (or awake), I couldn't get deep into their psyche much, but I was trying to also show that Stanley changed a lot post-petrification. I can't imagine he was always so cruel, because he's always had a sweet side with Reader. But the less she's there, the more he loses touch with it. The same goes for Xeno; she was the only one mediating his work-life balance and who stopped him from working on dangerous projects. Now he is unchecked and building actual guns. Yes, Xeno made sure he still had his purple tie so he could still match with you like at the expo. He's desperate for connection to you.

Scene C 'Luna's Grand Plan for Reader' Song ── SOS by ABBA Luna, the woman that she is, would NOT leave her tiny girl crush behind. NUH UH! You are a strong, independent woman who matters way too much to her, even in the face of danger. And of course it's an ABBA song; Luna HAS watched Mamma Mia and associates it with Reader so much (and I do too, of course).

Scene D 'Staring Down Stanley's Gun barrel' Song ── Bittersweet by Madison Beer Once again, Luna comes in clutch. I feel like half of this story was just me indulging in my love for Luna and Chelsea, but whateva. She throws a chair; she's badass. I had to rewrite the scene of Reader deciding to help the KoS a few times because I wasn't sure what was most realistic. I think it worked out, but I had to assume all of you are as reckless as I am. 'Bittersweet' is the best way to describe Stanley both seeing Reader is revived and realizing she is with what can only be described as the least trustworthy crew known to man. His heart totally skipped a beat seeing her wave goodbye to him and only him, though. He's whipped enough for you.

Scene E 'Reunited with Xeno' Song ── Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez Senku isn't all that prevalent in this story, but I hoped it came across here that he does look up to Reader enough to reassure her at least a tiny bit. I didn't get to press on it much, but Reader and Xeno realizing they were no longer the same age, and how different he was while she was the splitting picture of how he'd always remembered her, was one of the hardest things for me to think about. Xeno is elated that they're together and things can be the same again, but Reader isn't sure if Xeno is still her nerdy little scientist anymore.

Scene F 'HOLY SHIT ITS CHELSEA + Self Sacrifice' Song ── Dream Girl by Crisaunt Just a slower, sweet song that represents the late nights they spent on the boat, her learning about all the things Xeno and Stan got up to. It's also in this scene that Xeno had a chance (being too busy with NASA, then revival) to actually have a genuine moment thinking about how he feels for Reader. Honestly, going into this story, I kept the relationship between Xeno and Stan vague on purpose, but I let it slip mostly here. Xeno is worried you'll be upset with Stanley and solely blame him, and as much as he wants to keep this little goodbye about you and him, he wants Stan to get the chance to enjoy time with you, too.

Part Four

Scene A 'Reunited with Stanley' Song ── Sparks by Coldplay "I know I was wrong. But I won't let you down. Oh yeah, I will, yeah, I will, yes, I will." You cannot convince me that isn't Stanley recognizing that his actions aren't ethical, that you wouldn't like them, and that as much as he doesn't want to disappoint you, he accepts he already has. Stan is easily jealous; he doesn't like how quickly Matsukaze and Ginro worry about you, let alone that they think he would hurt you (I mean, they don't know any better!). But that anger, all the frustration of you being in danger, melts away so damn fast when he recalls how soft you make him. Stanley doesn't put up a front for others; he IS strong. But not being able to let out the gentleness he reserved for you? It kills him. And yes, he was crying.

Scene B 'Opposite Sides' Song ── The Winner Takes it All by Meryl Streep As much as he wants things to be like the past, tying your apron for you in a cute bow, letting you pick what movie you'd watch late weeknights after university and his work, sharing breakfast together every morning... He's more than a soldier now; it is his job to protect you. So he can only afford to be gentle when all of this is over, even if it means being on opposite teams with you. Stanley will take the blame and be the bad guy if it means you'll at least forgive Xeno. He just hopes that maybe, for any excuse at all, you'll forgive him for what he is about to do. Enough to smile at him again; just once is enough.

Scene C 'Locked in a Cage + Repetrified' Song ── Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush Reader breaking the lock with a spool was actually a reference to both McNally's video about opening a lock with another lock and Lock Picking Lawyer's video about his wife and ice cream. Did this scene fuck with me and break my heart? Yes. Does this song make it so, so much fucking worse? Absolutely. I genuinely teared up a few times because I'm a bit of a baby. Another parallel I hid in this series was Reader being afraid of the light while she was with Stanley and Xeno but being happy to see it without them. Before it was a matter of losing her life with them, but now it's a prayer that whatever they're doing is forced to stop. She doesn't want them to carry those crimes.

Scene D 'Suika's Your Friend Too' Song ── Old Enough to Understand (Instrumental) Guhhhh this song kills me. 'Old Enough To Understand' in and of itself is a great way to describe Suika. She's a bit too young to understand the nuances of your relationship with Xeno and Stan. But she knows what your smile looks like, and she knows you get happy with them, so they must be good people deep down. Great Detective Suika has a good streak when it comes to these things; she's sure that when she does save everyone, Xeno and Stan won't be bad guys anymore. She also thinks you'll be a lot happier.

Scene E 'Xeno's First Kiss' Song ── Ma Meilleure Ennemie ft. Coldplay by Stromae There had to be at least one French song, fellas. Brutus IS French and WILL NOT step down. But it also accurately represents the tug-of-war Reader is constantly playing with. She loves Stanley and Xeno, but she is more moral than the both of them combined. While I offer some back and forth for them to actually discuss their actions, love and life are messy, and you don't always get the answer you want. Reader is no fool; she is harmed by Xeno's actions, but she is prepared to face them with him. Tee hee, then they kissed (kicking feet and giggling).

Scene F 'Ryusui's Advice' Song ── Bright Lights by Cannons Support from side characters is something I often struggle with, but Ryusui makes it easy. In the same way Suika knows how Reader and Xeno are, Ryusui understands how she and Stanley are. This song is about being blinded by someone's actions but still being aware that it's happening. Reader knows she is lenient with Stan and Xeno because they've always been at her side, but she accepts whatever pushback she gets for that anyways.

Epilogue

Scene A 'I Love You, Stanley Snyder' Song ── Our Last Summer by Colin Firth et al. When I opened this story, Stanley was going through images of himself, Xeno, and Reader together. The three were caught up in the past, doing everything they could to be together. Now they're rebuilding everything together. Their past is long gone, and it's time to look at the future, to make new memories. But they'll never forget their last summer together. Living together, driving to Houston every week, late nights in the lab, Xeno forcing you out of the guest bedroom to get ready every day. The time before everything changed. Though, this time everything is better.

A link to a playlist with all of these songs in scenic order (as shown above) can be found here!

Author's Note ── Was that overboard? Maybe! But I would hate to keep any ideas you may enjoy to myself. As always, if you liked Diner girl and want to talk about it with me, my DMs are always open! Or you can inbox me questions, or reblog/comment your thoughts on it! I would love to hear it :] This time it's a genuine goodbye, thank you for reading DIner Girl and giving me so much love!

You can read this series on ao3 here!
