hi flora! thank you for the ask!

🧑 favourite character to write

probably Erik, although that’s probably a sentiment many phic writers share. there’s so many interpretations of him to play with, his backstory is so intriguing and fun to add to and explore, and he’s just such a complicated character. his emotions are complex, his relationships and how he interacts with others, his physicality and how he moves, his talents, etc. he’s just so interesting to work with!

Thank you for the ask Flora! Here it is - in dialog :)

Please do yourself a favor and read this little slice of beauty from Aldebaran. It is partly inspired by my story The Better Man, though you absolutely don’t need to be following that to read this one-shot, nor would it spoil much of anything, if you were planning on it. Also, even if you actively dislike that story, you might still like this one! It stands alone as a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between Erik and Nadir, and is everything I would want to write for them myself...if I wasn’t so busy focusing on Raoul and Erik and their thisclose to literal dick-measuring contests. 😌 Thank you for writing this, Aldebaran! I couldn’t love it more. ♥️♥️♥️

Ahhh thank you. Now I can feel absolutely terrible whenever I want!

Thank you @flora-gray! 💖🍷🍰

thanks @flora-gray! Okay, interesting choices!

14 - aspect of a person’s face: Okay this sounds weird because there are so many (eyes? lips??) but actually I think my answer is eyebrows. A well-defined brow can transform an entire face. 

5 - decade before the 2020s: Hmm also interesting. I’d have to say the 2010s, even if that’s lame. It’s when I went through the most substantial changes in my life and most of those were for the better. It’s when I made the best friends in my life, (adopted all my cats), and met my spouse.
