Do you have a playlist for The Riddle, by any chance?
Also, I just wanted to say I love it, love it, love it. It genuinely mades me feel so much every chapter. The chemistry between Ben and the Reader is absolutely insane, and the way you manage to keep him so faithful to canon is incredible, even if it makes me hate him half the time.
Please don't ever stop writing, and thank you so much for sharing it with us! 💕
I do! I actually have two playlists, one for the story as a whole and another that's more focused on the Reader. I'll leave them here:
🎧 General Playlist
🫀 Reader Playlist
That said, thank you so, so much for your kind words. 🥹 I genuinely never expected the fic to be received this well when I first started writing it, so seeing messages like yours makes me incredibly happy. And thank you to everyone who takes the time to let me know what they think.
I'm also really glad people appreciate that Ben is, well... a complete piece of shit. Because canonically, he is a terrible person. One thing I don't usually enjoy in fanfic is when he turns into a softie after three chapters, or when he's's reduced to just "the grumpy guy who says outrageous things." Ben isn't just someone with a bad temper who says gross stuff or insults people. He's genuinely a bad person. He's racist, and he's literally a Nazi-fucker.
That's exactly why writing his relationship with the Reader is so much fun to me, because none of that just magically disappears. He's still a piece of trash. And i like his character for that.
