Update on the Kurellow fic (Chapter 5):
It's almost done, however I have a really bad cold. Like really bad. I'm going to rest up and let myself get better, and when inspiration strikes me you know I'll be typing away like there's no tomorrow.
Anyways, uhhhh yeah. Also also: I think I should add a disclaimer (I wasn't intending for the fic to even get this popular): The fic will have smut. There is sexual tension between the two. Will I put a warning for each chapter containing said smut? Yes, always. Will there be more non-smut chapters? Of course ^^
Also: Yes, I am implying in the fic that Circubit was traumatized by something related to Iris, and that Pentellow could've met that same fate. Yes, the "mask" wording in Chapter 4 is referring to Kura being neurodivergent (also that her ex was ableist as fuck, thankfully she never has to see him again).
Last note: I am not in any way trying to say that heterosexual or hetero-passing relationships or being vanilla is a bad thing. I repeat, there is nothing wrong with being straight or vanilla, even if your partner isn't. It DOES become a bit of an issue when you put your partner in situations where they're forced to repress who they are. And yes - aftercare is always a good thing to know, regardless of where you fall on a sexuality spectrum. Please, y'all. PLEEEASE.
