#drawlight

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (2015) - Episode One

Tells him two messages

Threatens him with death for disobedience

Drawlight, terrified: but what is your third message?

TL;DR i'm not sharing drawlight's fics anymore because i personally don't feel comfortable doing so. i'm sorry if that disappoints people.

i've gotten some more messages recently about sharing their old fanfic, which i understand as more people have returned to good omens. for context, drawlight is a friend and years back, after they left the fandom, they gave me permission to share their fic if i got messages for it.

but that was years ago. and i've thought a lot about it and feel that if they wanted to share their fic, they would. it's not my art to share and i care about them more than helping people access the things drawlight themself doesn't want to think about. this is not me condemning anyone for sharing these fics in private btw, i understand! but i personally don't want to be the "keeper of drawlight fic" especially when i know how much the shitty part of the fandom hurt them back in 2019.

they reuploaded Salinity a little while back, which is their most famous work. i know Literarion has several podfic if you're alright with audiobooks.

This is the story of six-thousand years and a borrowed jacket. (A tale told in vignettes.)

*Minor Spoilers* I actually read the summary wrong when I opened this and thought it was vignettes about specifically a borrowed jacket and that is not the case lol. But I'm glad to be wrong. This was a wonderful collection of vignettes, beautifully arranged. The author does list out the order you could read if you want it chronological, but I think it's best the way it's already laid out. We move back and forth through time, every backstory giving context to the present. The prose is sometimes frantic, a stream of conscience that makes it feel very intimate, but on my first read was a little hard for me to focus on. I needed to go to bed when I read this and was fighting it. That's not the fault of this story, but I enjoyed my second read through much more because I was in the right headspace for it. Just keep that in mind when you read this! Pay attention, you'll want to soak all this romance up.
