I've been meaning to msg you for awhile, but I read "To Be Wed" on AO3 about a month ago and absolutely LOVED it. I think I followed u on here first and didn't realize u were a fic writer, then when you rec'cd something I was intrigued. Imagine my shock when I realized just how incredible a writer you are! I personally prefer to read AOS universe, and I really liked how you left it ambiguous enough to apply to both so more ppl could still read & enjoy it!! (1/2)
I thought the world-building was so well done, and the characters felt so geniune and exactly how I always headcanon them to behave. The conclusion was so stressful haha but I loved how you wrapped everything up so it became how it was always meant to be :) I plan on leaving a highly complimentary comment on the fic/my bookmark on AO3 as well, but I just wanted to send u an ask on here too!! Keep up the amazing work, you're fantastic! (p.s. I also loooved "No Vegas Wedding For Us" asjhfjsh)(2/2)
AHHHHHHH I cannot TELL you how happy these asks made me today!!!! <3 Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for enjoying my fics!! Especially TBW! That’s the only multi-chapter fic that I’ve never had a beta reader for, and it caused me so much trouble, and tbh when I think about it I get really -- I don’t know? Embarrassed? Maybe that’s not the right word, but there are many aspects of it I would change (and I’ve considered deleting it entirely on really bad days), and knowing that you loved it the way it is is just SO affirming and wonderful. I really can’t thank you enough. You’re so sweet to take the time to send these messages. <3 <3 <3
And I’m glad you like the ambiguity! Whenever I write them younger than TOS I usually take at least some inspiration from AOS versions of their characters (and Collision Course, which is the best Young!Spirk reference EVER). I know some people don’t dig ambiguity (which is fine!), but it’s really great to hear from someone who does! <3 ‘Cause I always like it too. Imo however one reads the characters is rad and valid. <3
Anyway, now I’m just rambling like crazy, so I’ll leave it at THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU. <3
