convalescenza e giorni di sole

convalescence et jours ensoleillés

hi anonnie! :) it's not rude at all, i don't mind people asking about updates! tbh, it lets me know you guys are still interested in a work.

i'm so honored to have been your first fic! that's so insane to hear 🤍

just some insight on my thoughts about convalescence: i wrote convalescence in 2024 when fratkuna and college aus weren't popular and i was really frustrated, so i took matters into my own hands lol. i don't claim to be the first nor the owner of any tropes (that's weird lol), but i am an og! it's my frankenstein freak baby, my first public fic :,)

originally, i made a complete outline for around 10 chapters. however, life gets in the way and i had to focus on my degree and mental health shortly after chapter 2. the ao3 writer's curse got me good, lmao. after rereading it recently, i found a lot of mistakes and issues that has made me want to rewrite a lot of the story to flow better, but naturally: this is a lot of work to scour through 25k words and upload new fics i'm passionate about, even with a beta reader as lovely as @beeh-ive. i want to be able to give you guys a better explanation, but i don't want to give any empty promises or false hope. i also had considered privating the fic until i feel confident on returning to it, but i realized that would be unfair to readers that have followed me since the beginning. i hope this didn't sound like me bitching and moaning, i rly hate being vulnerable LMFAOOO. but yeah
