I’m on winter break and haven’t found a good fic in a while .

Wound up binge reading every single chapter of Prism in 2 days. I am FERAL for the next chapter but also wanted to say thank you for creating a work of art that won’t leave me and keeping me occupied at the start of winter break.

I LOVE THIS!! Thank you!!😍😍🖤🖤✨️✨️🖤🖤😍🌈😍😍🖤✨️🖤✨️🥰🥰🥰

Oh… Az,

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful response. I’ve been reflecting a lot on what I wrote earlier, and I feel the need to apologize. I never meant to imply that you’re not doing an amazing job or that Prism has lost anything—it hasn’t! Hasn’t at all. I’m so sorry. I think I just didn’t fully grasp the brilliance of what you’re creating right now, and I feel foolish for having doubted it.

Reading your reply and seeing someone else's perspective really opened my eyes. The "rushed" aspect I mentioned felt intentional at first, but now I realize that it actually fits perfectly within the story's tension. That whirlwind effect you created makes so much sense in the larger narrative — it’s a testament to how masterfully you’re weaving all these layers together. I’m sorry I didn’t see it clearly at first, but now I do. I guess it’s special Prism’s effect on me…

I’m endlessly grateful for the chance to experience Prism, and I admire you so much for carrying on this incredible journey. I would never want you to think your work is not enough or that you should try harder — you already do so much, and I see that. I really admire that. I’m truly grateful for the chance to witness the diamond of your genuine love and labor. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to write this story solo, especially when it began as a joint creation. The fact that you’re still pouring so much love, energy, and dedication into it is nothing short of inspiring. Your work is incredible. You’ve created something so special, and I hope you know how much it means to readers like me.

I’m truly sorry for the way my earlier words came across. They came only from a place of love for Prism, but I see now that I misinterpreted my own feelings about it. You’re not rushing — you’re creating something extraordinary, and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Please forgive me for my mistake, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to share Prism. It’s a pure gift, and I’m so, so, so lucky to be able to read it.

With so much admiration,
One of Jack’s knives

I really, truly appreciate this and I'm so grateful you took the time to explain and come back, not least because I wouldn't ever want anyone to feel i was doing an injustice to Prism. It means a lot. Thank you🖤✨️

[azrielgreen]

I didn’t know this was a thing until that last ask but now I feel so exposed???!?

That's actually incredible, i never noticed it before either??! Also I'm ridiculously flattered at that number 🥰🥰🥰🖤🌈✨️

[azrielgreen]

Lmao just when I think I’ve heard it all… now people don’t want updates /too fast/ 🤣 (you don’t have to publish I just think it’s funny and a great reminder that posting things should always be for yourself first, because trying to make others happy NEVER totally works 😭)

Always always write for yourself, exactly this!! 😂🥰🖤🌈✨️

[azrielgreen]

“Have you read Prism?”

Ummmmmm … 💀

BABE😂😂😂🤣😍😊😘INCREDIBLE.

[azrielgreen]

I am obsessed with dark romances which means Prism is absolutely perfect for me and I love it to bits. The way you write dark themes is captivating and just so good. My favorite dark romance trope is the main character being kidnapped by the love interest who has bad intentions at the start but then, you know, Stockholm syndrome and falling in love Etc happens. Would you ever write something along those lines? Because I think you would write it so perfectly.

I'm actually planning to write an extremely dark metalsandwich version of exactly this! Thank you so so much!

[azrielgreen]

Final note on this but I actually EXTENDED the number of total chapters to make Part Three longer and more in depth than even Brooke and I jointly intended. Every single element of Prism, from the Garfield ashtray to the Flop in the attic, serves a purpose in the larger picture of this story and i would NEVER rush a single element of this behemoth, I love it too much. I have an entire notebook filled with nothing but Prism thoughts and notes, I wrote in it all summer. I send myself 20min long voice notes daily about future scenes and chapters. Ask anyone who knows me, they'll tell you i don't shut up about Prism. I know it won't be the same without Brooke, and there's nothing i can do about that, but i will give it everything i have and my intentions are completely the opposite of rushing it♥︎

Dear Az,

I wanted to take a moment to express my thoughts about Prism. First of all, thank you for continuing this incredible story. Your writing has always been captivating, and the world you’ve created means so much to so many of us.

That said, I hope you won’t mind me sharing some feelings as a reader who deeply loves Prism. I’ve noticed the pace of the story has recently sped up, and it feels like some of the plot’s richness is being lost in the process. Themes like Dissociative Identity Disorder/Age Regression, the rebuilding of the house, the wedding, Billy’s life in prison, and Steve’s past with Tommy—all of these are such intricate, layered elements. They deserve time to breathe and unfold, the way you and Brook masterfully handled the earlier parts of the story.

Another thing I’ve come to realize is how much the waiting between chapters contributed to Prism’s atmosphere. It allowed the tension to linger, making the story feel more intimate and immersive, which is so essential for a horror narrative. The suspense of waiting was part of the magic — it gave us time to sit with the fear and let it grow. Rushing the story risks losing that core essence.

Please don’t feel pressured to finish this story quickly. I know many readers, myself included, would wait as long as it takes to see the story develop at its own natural rhythm. I promise. I’m begging. The beauty of Prism lies in its depth and the careful build-up of tension, fear, and emotion. I know you’re capable of continuing that magic, and I truly believe in your vision.

Thank you for all the love and effort you’ve poured into this work. Your talent is undeniable, and I hope this note feels more like encouragement than criticism. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Prism.

Warmly,

One of Jack knives.

Hi, thank you for your insight and sharing thoughts. The last two chapters should really have been one massive chapter that I split for time reasons, hence the fast posting and i did intentionally write them to have this whirlwind "removed from reality" feeling where all else seems to fade. I would never ever rush Prism, and I'm writing as both Brooke and I intended, i.e., following the outline we devised together. It's also really hard to write this story without her for so many reasons, and though I'm doing everything i can, I know I should work harder to keep it at the level it was before. It's a huge adjustment for me, and believe it or not, I am trying my best, but i can always try harder and level up, so I'll work towards that during future chapters. I did really just want to do something nice by posting before the 24th and try to fully immerse myself in the story again. Writing it solo is really hard. I'll try harder going forward.

[azrielgreen]

I'd like to also say that every single element mentioned here that has "lost it's richness" is being built up to absolutely explode in Part Three. I know I won't ever be able to match what was made by two in joint 50/50 creation but I'm trying my best. I'll take this on board, though. Thanks.

This is a friendly reminder from @azrielgreen and myself that today is...

🔥✨Fuck it Friday✨🔥

meaning that today is the day that you treat yourself and do whatever the fuck your heart is begging you to do.

Today is the day in which you say f·u·c·k·i·t and

write that one scene that's been orbiting your mind all week even if you don't intend to write the rest of that story;

draw that one pairing that no one gives a shit about but you because you love it;

go and write the entire lore of your OC that no one's heard about yet;

go and shape that smutty scene that would make the devil violently blush;

go get that chocolate ice-cream you've been craving even if outrageously cold outside;

go buy those shoes you've been thinking all month;

go text that mutual to ask for that collab you've been so afraid of asking;

go rewatch that movie you've seen a zillion times but it's so good;

go do the THING that it makes you happy

Today is the day you're brave enough to treat and take care of yourself and your needs because

f u c k i t

And then post it and show us how good you're being to yourself today 💖✨🔥🌠💖✨🔥🌠💖✨🔥🌠💖✨🔥🌠💖✨🔥🌠

[azrielgreen]

By the way, both me and my friend at work can’t get out Bad Moon Rising out of our heads today after discussing SS theories. Just to let you know 😂😂🫠❤️ it’s continuously looping and driving us mental 😂

OH MY GOD, THE CURSE SONG!!!😂😂😂😌🌈🖤✨️

[azrielgreen]

Re: Prism - I find it hilarious that for the vast majority of the story, I've been like, "man I hope Steve and Eddie can just be together and fucked up", but now that things are ostensibly all happy my thinking has somehow completely switched to "just kill all these men, Steve, burn it down, none of them deserve you". MY MIND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO IT. (/pos)

THATS THE PRISM EFFECT IN ACTION! 🥰🥰✨️✨️🥰✨️✨️🥰✨️

[azrielgreen]

THE GASP I GASPED when Steve turned around and Eddie did THE THING (I’m trying not to be spoilery here)

But god it’s so hard to enjoy the moment knowing it’ll all be ripped away because you’re so so so evil. But honestly that’s what I’m here for. I go to other fics for lovey dovey but I started Prism expecting pain and wanting pain and general fucked-up-ness, so I’m so excited for what you have planned.

That being said though I really did enjoy reading Eddie and Steve’s honeymoon phase and their obsession with each other and how they accept each other for everything that they are. It’s gonna make it that much more painful when shit hits the fan.

And Tommy?!?!? TOMMY?!?!?! What the fucking FUCK is he going to do??? The anticipation is going to kill me.

And ok I read your note at the end of the chapter and I had actually started re-reading this week and only got 2 chapters in so you’re saying it’d be best to stop and re-read AFTER chapter 19?

God you got me so curious of the mystery involved in this fic. I feel like you’re gonna drop a bombshell in the next chapter and it’ll turn out there were a bunch of hints throughout the entire story and that’s why you think a re-read after chapter 19 will be best???

God I don’t know. You fuck me up. I mean I love it though.

Ahhhh babe thank you so so SO much!! It's not like a huge SHOCK TWIST or anything but I instinctively feel people who enjoy Prism will want to go back and connect a few dots after CH19. ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️✨️

[azrielgreen]

can't wait to get time off for the holidays purely because I'll be able to enjoy the latest two chapters of Prism back to and already know I'll need like a week to recover 😂 💓

That's amazing, so excited for you!!🖤🌈✨️

[azrielgreen]

After reading Prism Ch 18 today I’ve decided.

Wheezing dhdhdhdhs, you're gonna get a lot of new members.

[azrielgreen]

hi az! i loved the new chapter, i couldn’t believe we got an update so soon! i have to ask: for the next chapter, is the twist going to have anything to do with any triggers not listed in the warning wall? i truly have no idea what to expect, and while i LOVE being surprised i would greatly appreciate if there’s any triggers to be wary of that hasn’t been listed yet for the fic (if it’s not too spoiler-y to share, of course!) 💜

Hi! Thanks so much, I really wanted it to be out before Christmas as a little gift for everyone! The finale chapter of Part Two will be THOROUGHLY content warned as always and I'll be using spoiler drop downs too, but no, there are no triggers NOT listed in the Warning Wall, which was also updated a few months ago. If anyone has any specific Q's about this or the triggers etc... please feel free to message me! This is The Event TM we've been building towards and it's going to be absolutely brutal so while I wouldn't ever want to spoil anything, I will be very thoroughly warning people too ~Az🖤🌈✨

P.S - I'd recommend maybe just scanning through the Warning Wall again as a refresher

[azrielgreen]

reading ch18 was wild because on one hand I was thinking "this is SOFT and sweet they are good boys now!" and then in so many scenes there's this tiny flash reminder like "eddie wanting to fuck steve on top of dead bodies" or "eddie casually joking about kidnapping Billy's child(he was clearly serious)" or "wow eddie is very close with robin now" or "jordan walker's body" or "say, goodbye dirt road" which has me in a fever grip of desperate theories.

i think this might be your best chapter yet because it's so insidiously layered, like a wedding cake and but the inside is venom, thats how I felt while reading it and then some tiny reminder of what eddie is doing and has done kept jumpscaring me NOT TO MENTION the pure dread interwoven in this. we all know how you like to sucker punch the readers and I know it's coming but i still can't see how yet!!

masterpiece as always.

OMG thank you SO much!! I love that you noticed so many tiny elements. Thank yooou!🥰🌈✨️🖤
