and re the question of timing: im not great at being timely in my replies. the only deadline i set myself for replying to comments is i usually try to reply to all the ones left in my inbox before posting a new fic, so that way the inbox is clear and readyyy for any new comments. this has been very good for my response rate lately, since ive been writing a lot, but when i'm in a lull i can and will go weeks or months without replying. which i think is okay? sometimes ill get a reply to a comment i left on a fic like...months or even years prior. and it's still nice when they're like "wow haha i never log in to ao3 anymore but i did on a whim and saw this, thank you so much!" bc then i still get to be like hey wow i made a person's day better in a way that was totally unexpected to them. PAST ME did that. so yeah. those are my thoughts re: replying to comments. i don't in any way hold it against anyone who doesn't reply to comments though, and i get why people don't, and i generally don't notice anyway. it's just nice when they do :)

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

okay this fic was prompted by the lack of ace fic for cobra kai on ao3, and the fact that at the time i created the wip there were NO fics where samantha larusso is ace despite it being abundantly clear that this lady is not attracted to men, she is performing femininity in an attempt to fit in and miguel is a very safe person to do that with. it's samtory because feminism and they are crazy obsessed with each other. here are the two paragraphs of thoughts that i sent gregory when first conceiving the idea:

"i just think that the whole slut/prude thing and how aware she is of everyone's expectations of her would intersect with the whole ace thing in a really interesting way. like. she knows that as a teen girl there's this unspoken thing where she's supposed to want sex but she can't let anyone know she wants sex but she's supposed to find boys hot and she doesn't and the thought of having sex with anyone makes her want to throw up but it's too late for her to be a late bloomer and then she discovers that she likes tory so maybe she's a lesbian but she doesn't want to have sex with her either and now she's failed to be the perfect expected teen girl Twice because she likes other girls but she doesn't like them enough to want to have sex like every other person in the world

"and then of course the whole thing about intense bloody rivalries is that they're homoerotic right. it's not homoromantic it's about the passion and fire and how fighting and sex can be two sides of the same coin in that regard so does tory even like her for anything more than that passion? if she can't give tory more than a few heated makeout sessions then will tory want to stay?"

Como lo recuerda Amy:
