to the person currently reading I'll Fall and commenting on every chapter... i love you. 😭

yo.

heh.

i have a question for any of my readers who still happen to be on tumblr... if theres any of you out there...*squint*

over the last couple of days I binged IFIYD and NATA as a means to escape some difficult emotions in my life rn (hooray we love avoidance LMAO) and it brought me so much joy and comfort.. and made me dust off my google doc on the third installment.

i know what you're thinking: megan shut the FAWK up you've brought this up several times during the last few years and have never done anything about it IMTIRED andKAHDSKGDS you're not wrong, i hear you, but ALSO what ive written so far is so fking good it makes me sad for it to just.. sit there 😭 idk how much i've talked about it on here, but i envisioned the story in three or four parts, in different povs, because one thing about me is i switch povs like a mf (as my readers will know kjdsg). thats just how it is around here. the povs would be deidara, kakashi, iruka, and potentially (probably) itachi.

deidara's pov is the one that is almost finished, and who i always planned to post first. (-.- i think..)

my question to u is.. how much would you hate me if i posted deidara's pov, and then had no idea when the other pov's would be ready..... with the possibility they could take a long time 💀 OR would you rather i not post anything until its complete complete. ultimately i know i can do whatever i want but.. i like asking.

it would be posted as a 3-4 chapter fic, but each pov (chapter) would probably read more like a stand alone one-shot. so its not like you'd be left with cliffhangers or anything.

as you can tell.. i dont really care about rules when it comes to fic writing LMAO. but also fandom seems a bit more scary now in some respects; its changed a lot in the last 4-5 years & creators get a lot of shit from entitled people (they always have, but it seems to have worsened during the pandemic..?)

Ah, nostalgia. T.T

Miss these nerds.

Kakashi, arm slung around itachi’s shoulders, very drunk. (At a party?)

“I’m going to marry that man,” kakashi proclaims, staring at iruka across the room.

“Isn’t it a little too soon to be talking about marriage?”

“Oh, definitely. That’s why I’m telling you...” kakashi bops itachi on the nose “...instead of him,” he says, pointing at Iruka, who just so happens to look at him in that moment. 

Iruka walks over. 

“What are you two talking about?”

“You,” kakashi says, unashamedly

Iruka blushes, rubbing at the back of his neck, and oh god. Kakashi feels it coming. He can’t stop it...

“I’m going to marry you.”

some of my fics were so lovingly translated into Russian several years ago, and somehow I never ended up going to the page to poke around. Well I did last week...and there was 926 comments on IFIYD. 48 PAGES. KSDHGLS Granted, the translator was also replying to many of the comments too but it was still A LOT, and very fun to read, able it a sort of strange experience. I read them all, and was so, so touched.

This one made me feel proud of my story, despite wishing I could have written it better.. wondering if i went too overboard with the angst now LMAO but i was writing from a place of deep experience back then; such was my reality. Makes me feel good that the overall message still came through. I've been a bit intimidated, writing it again, so it served as a much needed boost. I wanted to put it here as a keepsake.. as part of my own archive to revisit, since it wasn't left on my own ao3 but on the translator's page.

ahhh THREE DAYS lmao ok but i actually love binging things. to me its such a compliment to know you couldn't put it down T-T
