hi thank you so much!! ness and i are indeed good thank you for asking 🥰

ch 23 will be in the late hours of saturday night / early hours of sunday morn (a bit later than usual cuz work/life/exams)

and without consulting ness because she’s currently napping or rudely ignoring me, i’m gonna take a leaf out of our queen gray’s book so here’s some emojis for ch 23:

😖😡🤝☹️🥺😂🖕🏒🎤😬🛏😳😭🫂♥️🤬🤬🏒🤬😌

heather!!!!

good news (or bad, if you hate swa 👀) but we are definitely writing another fic after we finish up 🥰

we already have a basic idea, but are still tossing up details. it will probably not be as long (maybe more towards 15-18 chapters) and we will definitely be taking a break, but we just love writing and connecting with people so fucking much.

so you have not heard the last of us!!!! ♥️♥️

(no joke, ness and i are ~very~ mentally ill, and having this as something to consistently work on and tie our brains to creatively, has helped both of us immeasurably. it’s literally been like a form of therapy for both of us. connecting to so many people has been beyond anything we ever imagined. thank you for reading and supporting us through the growing pains of learning how to write a fic. cannot stress how much we love it and y’all and the boys.)

this bitch has been attending classes, studying, doing finals exams and essays and questions on top of insanely busy real life commitments and she still manages to turn out pure gold ONCE A WEEK?!?

she stays up to ungodly hours because she loves swa and is a phenomenal writer and the way she pulls through every week is just astounding.

swa hit 20k hits tonight (???????) and we didn’t think anyone would read our lil fic let alone like it so i’m just a big puddle of goo and wanna send lots of love over to my partner in crime.

i love you and i’m so proud of you and you’re gonna kick this final exam’s ass and have the most well-earned break in the world. thank you for existing and being in my life!!!!

i've been breaking my head over how to deliver this in a cool and edgy way, but let's face it, i'm a nerd and couldn't play anything cool if my life depended on it, so, let me geek up on you-

stats:

> equip combat boots (+10% confidence)

> personalize (+10% creativity)

- congrats! you can now overthrow the government and jump evil Karens in the grocery store!

//it's my joy and pleasure to wear these boots at any given opportunity (even if they have me melting in summer), now even more so, and I just needed to let you and ness know about the impact you and your story have. feel free to ignore me. wishing the best of weeks upon you ^w^//

i want a pair literally immediately. this is the BEST thing i have legit ever seen 😭😭🥺😭🥺🥰🥺🥰🥰😭

im imagining you channeling some swa mickey vibes and standing up to some karen and then dramatically pointing to your boots before just moonwalking outta there???? the power you now hold???

hello, love! hope you’re doing well too ♥️

okay real talk: we started swa when covid was cucking us, we didn’t have much on and writing a chapter a week was easy and enjoyable.

but then - life happened. exams and travel and mental illness (lol) and new jobs and school. as it oft does.

so there’s not really a schedule for these last three chapters, i’m afraid. we’re actively working on her every day, and we’re gonna try to get them up ASAP, but we don’t want to make any promises we can’t keep.

it's like a warm hug :)

🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺🤕🥺

this is such a lovely message, anon, thank you. this fic has also been a warm hug to ness and i at every turn, and having kind people like you here for the ride has just made it that much sweeter.

this was truly the best way to wake up. thank you 🥰🫂
