OH MY GODD??? night shift genuinely might be my favorite fic i've ever read 🫶
first, the humor in this story is just absolutely amazing. there's so many good references to media without making them sound forced. the dialogue also helps a lot!! you can tell these guys are actually friends and not strangers that have just been shoved together. your humor is always top tier and it balances out the heavier topics in the story so well!!
speaking of heavier topics, i feel like you always hit when writing the heavy parts of a fic. especially the scene with Sam when R tells her about what happened with Tara after she left. god the entire story with Tara cherishing all of her food and eating something she hates actually made me tear up a little. i just wanted to hold her in my arms 😭
and don't get me started on how much i love the dynamic between characters. R and Tara's friendship is actually so beautiful and you can tell they care so much about each other. their banter is actually so funny and i was smiling every time they were together :))
not to mention the dynamic between R and Sam!! i love how you built up their relationship bit by bit, and it was so natural when they became girlfriends. i love how you write recalling old memories and how you can tell R and Sam get closer to each other every time
you've done it again!! 😵💫😵💫
I’m so happy that you loved it that much, my friend!!!
My fics aren’t complete without references to media, it’s just the way it is. Most of the dialogue is based off of conversations I’ve had with my friends 😭 the heavier topics are my favorite ones to write, so I’m glad that the humorous dialogue helped balanced it out
I’m not gonna lie, I spent a couple days planning out how to write the scene about R telling Sam about how Tara was treated. I wanted it to be impactful but also relativity close to what I think Tara’s home life was like. And Tara just needs someone who will hold her and occasionally let her commit crimes 🤷🏻♀️
Tara and R are always best friends who love to make fun of each other, it’s always going to be seen in my stories with Sam
Slow burns are absolutely my favorite, and I feel like they fit Sam’s character perfectly. Your analysis of the fic is amazing and I absolutely love every aspect of it!!! <3
