Read it <a href = https://archiveofourown.org/works/14475252/chapters/36773064>here</a>. Title: Shards  |Author: Valenix Pairing(s): Steve/Tony Warnings: (Temporary) Major Character Death; specific content warnings and summaries provided for potentially triggering chapters Summary: Five years ago, Tony Stark went missing; after three months he appeared in the city again, drunk and scarred and undeniably changed. Now there's the looming threat of war; an assassin is loose in the city; a mysterious figure encased in magical armour is wandering the streets of Marvel. And it seems like something's wrong with Tony. 

 Perhaps the engineer's secrets are bigger than they seem. 

Here’s a summary for those who were unable to read the chapter due to content warnings:

idk, i guess infixes are technically inflectional morphemes so '-fucking-' doesn't count so i'm probably gonna have to go with '-ness'. it's just so fucking VERSATILE.

-fucking- is such a good infix though and tehre are so many good combinations like un-fucking-necessary ahahahaha

look i don’t wnat to be racists, infelxctional morphemses are great too but i just

On the one hand, you really can’t make yourself responsible for the emotional well-being of everyone around you. That’s just going to lead you to exhaustion.  On the other hand, you’re right. It’s important to think about how our actions affect others. It’s a fine line to walk between the two, but it’s doable.

I think you could make a post thanking everyone who has read your story or being excited about the response to your story? You might want to leave out the numbers, though. As you might have noticed through the asks on this blog, people tend to get really caught up in the numbers and stats, so making a post with numbers in it might cause more friction than a more general statement. 

I can’t answer for your readers, but I know that I read fic with a different eye when I’m beta’ing for someone. I’m pretty carefree when I’m just reading, but when I go into beta-mode, I have a much more critical eye. 

But would it ruin it? I think it depends on the person.

No need to go it alone, however.

You could certainly ask about it in your endnotes. Lots of readers are also writers and many of them enjoy beta’ing. You’ve got a pool of people there who are clearly interested in your fandom/pairing.

Aside from that, there are also tumblrs who offer beta-reading for their preferred fandom. If you’re part of a large fandom, you might want to check tags and see if anyone is offering atm. 

You might also get some offers from our followers.

What about it, followers? Beta for this lovely writer?

The toaster hiccupped as they passed. Rhodey eyed it carefully, giving it a wide berth.
