I can’t stop thinking about Link finally breaking down. He’s had too much coffee and not eaten enough all day and Rhett’s this new Rhett, this new therapy-d Rhett who is calm and shaggy and vulnerable and a little pudgy in the tummy and for all intents and purposes Link shouldn’t be feral with desire for him like he’d been for 30 years but he is.

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

Could you write a blurb about what it might be like to hug Rhett and Link? I need a hug, and I really want to hug them someday ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ
