Gazing at each other.

sappy post ahead

which really is a fic that changed my life ❤️

I may not write as much for Jacaela Nation anymore, but y'all still mean the world to me. If you knew me pre-Jacaela, you know that I was The Worst at finishing projects and updating fics. I think at one point on my other ao3 account I was updating once a year at most.

I wish I could fully explain the way that Jacaela, and Jacaela Nation specifically, made me addicted to writing in a way that I truly had never been before. Writing 150k words in a year was a fantasy, a "that will never happen, I wish it would though" and then it did and y'all are to blame. Can't thank you enough for that.

A special thanks to:

@comradekarin for being there in the days of having so little to read and so very much to write 😂😭 the drought was so real but the seahorse agenda sustained us. Also for giving me CreganHelaena

@snowbryneich for being an incredible friend and support in writing and for gifting me the most self indulgent fics that were born in our dms 😂. Will never forget the day when I said "hmmmmm genderbent Jacaela" at 8AM and was reading 4000 words of genderbent Jacaela by dinner. For good memes and good conversation and reassurance when life was a hot mess

@wyrmwhispers for being a wonderful friend and support through so many fics, also for joining the Jacaela event and absolutely full sending on it. We may have dragged you into this boat but you went to WORK with the oars and it's been so fun to witness

@killemwithkillness for amazing friendship, support, and a wonderful example of the joys of the Jacaela-Jacegan alliance 😂. For the Lamb art, which I'm still insane over, and for the upcoming baelacregan that I am so very excited to read 👀

@smashedapple for the insane level of support and character understanding you've shared with me through our friendship over the last year, as well as the beautiful moodboards which I treasure. For being the reason lamb nearly reached 22k words.

To everyone who joined the 2024 Jacaela event and made it succeed in ways that I don't think any of us anticipated by writing, commenting, and sharing, a major thank you ❤️

Here's to another year, hopefully another 150,000 words, and (even more hopefully) less incomplete abandoned fics on the backburner 😂😭

“Joshua..it’s morning..”

Joshua swallows, mouth dry but still lingering with the taste of his brother on his tongue, of all the things they’ve done that they can’t take back now.

“…it is.”
