and can i just say........these were the original big unsettling hazels.

it was supposed to be a relatively short nickeovi oneshot for late winter and over the past two months I kept wanting to say more and expanding the scope until it morphed into a much bigger story about regret and longing and obligation and complicity! I shan’t say more bc I want it to be a fun surprise when it does come out, but I am really loving writing it. and having gotten a full draft out, I finally feel like I’m starting to understand how it will work.

>:-) me too!! haha. i am really pushing myself to try some new things and i am excited to see where it takes me.
