Summary : “There is beauty in this place, life, existence.” I peered into his eyes as I admitted this, admiring the masterful swirl of his crimson irises.

“And is that what you seek, wanderer?” he asked in a whisper.

one of your fics, if we were lovers, came with an original playscript written by you. it wasn’t too detailed, and I loved it so much (im a theatre major) that I kind of took on editing a copy and generally doing this for fun. It’s almost about 10k words now, and it’s pretty well done. If I wanted to release it as a thing on AO3, would you be okay with that? Is there any proper credit you’d want?

if it’s out of line, let me know x

hello :)

i would firstly like to set the tone of this reply because I'm worried I'll come off like a bitch when that's not my intention : I say all that comes next in the kindest way possible.

Firstly, what an honour to have someone love something I wrote, especially with it being an original piece, so much. I really appreciate that this is something that inspired you to create and I can only hope that anything I ever make inspires others in a multitude of ways!

However, I would invite you to DM me, or contact me via discord (billie_y), so that I could maybe read it? With it being based on an original work I can't lie I'm a little sceptical to have it posted without having had the chance to see it beforehand... I'm already a little cagey about the play, and almost didn't post the fic at all if only to not have the play on ao3. To be honest, posting it as an interlude to a fic, while it was intended for just this purpose, hurt a little. It was the first real original work I wrote, and posting it on ao3 meant 1. everyone has access to it, for free, 2. I no longer have control over what happens to it/comes of it, and 3. I can most likely never look into publishing it. But, IWWL is so dear to me I couldn't not share it with my wonderful readers, and I thought including the play was something of a treat, and proof of the work I put into it.

Elio is 8k as I wrote it, so I'm curious as to what you added, it's unclear whether your work is a rewrite, an add-on, a spin-off? I'm not sure, but again, I invite you to contact me privately so I could get a look into it! I'm not against the idea of having you, or anyone else, post things to do with the play on ao3, but I would much prefer knowing exactly what it is beforehand. And it goes without saying that I do want credit given.

hi thank you for your ask!! i'm really happy you like the fic!

as to fancasts, i know that for Theo I pictured Lorenzo Zurzolo after having a brief but intense crush on him via tiktok edits. However for the other characters, I don't have fancasts :( I'm really sorry they just exist in my head and I try to describe them as best as i can

Although!! for Harry and Tom my beautiful friend @delineate-creates blessed me with gorgeous fanart a while ago, so I will share the links to those: Harry and his gorgeous waist chain and Harry & Tom in the lake in Act I they look like how i picture them, so definitely these are a good reference!

I JUST FINISHED YOUR FIC IF WE WERE LOVERS AND I HAVE SO MUCH EMOTIONS. first of all I knew I was gonna like this fic because I LOOOOVE your other fic 'equals in life (partners in death)'. i saw if we were lovers being recommended on the tomarry subreddit. I never read non magical AUs like this was forreal my first ever one!! I've never really been interested in them since I love the tension and angst harry and tom have in canon because of their backstories and shit so non magical AUs never appealed to me much for tomarry specifically but man I saw if we were lovers on reddit so i clicked on it and it sounded so interesting. I never was a theatre kid or really cared much about it but always thought it was cool and respected people who did it. hell i would love if I could do shit like that on stage LMAO but this fic sounded really good so I saved it to read! and I'm SO glad I did. I literally just finished it and now im here writing this. first of all I love how you wrote ALL these characters. I really need to bring up theo especially because I never really cared about theo as character tbh and in fics I'm usually like eh whatever but you bought SOOOO much life to his character in this fic that I literally would read a fanfiction featuring your theo lmao. I loved his personality so much even tho I'd probably punch him and get so angry at him if he was my friend because sometimes he really needs to shut the fuck up but this personality also seems to REALLY suit him and I just loved him so much. I loved all the characters!!! you just wrote them so well that I never got bored because they were all interesting!! tom and harrys relationship was the best thing ever I literally wanted to strangle them both so much I loved it. I love how much they love eachother and the PINING and SLOW BURN HAD ME SCREAMING AT MY PHONE LIKE CAN YALL FUCKIN KISS ALREADY HOLY SHIT???? and your writing was absolutely phenomenal. I didn't really know what the fuck was going on during the plays because like I said I don't know much about theatre lol but man it was so awesome to read and I could just imagine it all in my head when i was reading it 😩 also I really loved how you wrote Sirius I cried when harry called him and he relapsed but im so happy he got sober!!! I loved all the professors and how you wrote them as well. I was almost losing my shit during harrys first class with snape and im a snape lover LOL but I was like what the FUCK. later on I'm like ok nvm he cool. I loved how Dumbledore came to visit harry and tom during the Christmas break when they literally were high af LMAO. I feel like Dumbledore would smoke weed too tbh. Also this is such a specific moment but I laughed when all the students were graduating and theo made McGonagall do a fist bump with him i can picture that so well it made me Crack tf up. Ugh I just loved this fic so much I would pay you to write a sequel (jk... unless...haha...) but no fr soooo good. I am on my hands and knees praying that you have more ideas for more long tomarry fics again in the future 😭🙏🛐

oh my lord HI this ask is so nice i love love love getting comments or asks from people who literally JUST finished a fic and have so much to say about it!! it's so flattering as an author bc i get the feeling my passion for the project got spread to my readers!!

my characters....my babies.... this fic really revealed a passion i have for making people LMAO i am so happy you enjoyed these characters all together <3 there exists in my docs a version of these characters together in a canon setting and oh my shaylas... my children they're babies in it!! unfortunately that fic SUCKS so it will most likely nawt see the light of day lol sorry but trust the characters are so sweet in it

believe it or not i am by no means a theatre kid!! in fact in france we don't even have theatre at school, other than analysing texts for the more literary classes! it's just a small passion i have, love how pretentious it is! but honestly thank god most readers are not theatre kids bc i'm sure there are things in the fic that are like....girl this is bullshit... writing is like lying and pretending you know things about things when you don't lol

(dumbledore definitely used to smoke weed, but by the time in which the fic is set he most assuredly discovered edibles)

i am SO happy you discovered ethel cain via this fic!! preacher's daughter changed my life fr! however, listening to it on shuffle....a thousand years in the dungeon!! crazy behaviour i cannot lie
