#( i'm slow as usual but i really wanted to write them and i'll have ko! )

I was casually rereading whtd, as one does, and reading the comments (because i love the extra insight you give about the information that we're limited to in Ga On's pov) when i stumbled upon this comment: "… sort everything out? (and no one dies along the way, hopefully) He'll be very happy for them." about lawyer Ko and that in combination with the "minor character death tag" has made me Extremele worried about him. (plus you have also said that the kidnapping tag is not the one we should be worried about!!) I know you probably can't say anything about this because of spoilers, but know that it has been noted!!

Also kind of want a scene wherein lawyer Ko, Yo Han and Ga On are all together. Their dynamic would be so exquisite!! (obviously no pressure to actually write this, just a thought)

Anyway, whtd remains so good even after already having read and reread it in its entirety at least 5 times (and some scenes/chapters much more than that) (my ao3 history says i've visited whtd 200 times… so uh. yeah. i'm normal). I love slow burn so much (to the point where most romance book leave me disappointed bc they MCs get together like 100 pages in), i just love reading/watching the build up of a relationship and you write it so well!

I guess i just wanted to thank you for writing! I hope you're doing well <3

I'm usually very careful not to spoil what's going to happen in future chapters but I'll make an exception this time and flat-out say that you don't have to worry — Lawyer Ko is not going to die. I would literally never forgive myself if I killed him xD Not to mention that you all would probably come for my head if I did. He's just too amazing to be killed off!

So, rest assured, he's not going to die :)

And there will be at least one scene with Ga On, Yo Han, and Lawyer Ko in the same room unless my plans change dramatically. Which they rarely do, but "rarely" isn't the same as "never" so we'll see. Truth be told, though, I'll probably try really hard to keep it because I totally agree — the dynamic would be SPECTACULAR. So yeah. Stay tuned for that, I guess? ;)

You've definitely read Who Holds the Devil more times than I have x'D At least in its entirety. I mean, I reread the chapters at least twice (often three or four times) but I rarely start from the beginning and read it all the way through. I did at the end of my long break last year to get back into the swing of it, but it's difficult to find the time for that since I always have to focus on the next chapter. Which is a bit stressful at times, I will admit, since it puts more pressure on me to remember things at the top of my head (or at least know where to look if I want to check any details) but I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a really good memory, so that helps.

Anyway, I'm so glad you're enjoying it 💜 I honestly didn't plan for the slow burn to be quite this slow when I started the fic, but I can't say I have any regrets. Much like you, I just enjoy it too much ;) There's something so incredibly satisfying about delving this deep into Ga On and Yo Han's feelings and slowly developing relationship. And I guess that's also why I can't help throwing out tidbits of information in the comments, since there's usually so, so much happening within this story that you readers don't see (especially within Yo Han's head).

And I'm still not sure how to handle the knowledge that some people read the comments specifically to find those tidbits. Like, I don't mind you doing so! Go right ahead! They're public and all that. But it kind of blows my mind that some of you are so interested in what I'm writing that you'll do that. It feels a bit surreal to me, but in a good way? Like I'm an ACTUAL writer or something xD

Anyway, thank you so much for this kind and supportive message 💜 I definitely needed it right now because things honestly aren't all that great. Partly because of overall exhaustion and restlessness — mostly due to work — but even more so since it's now been a month since I posted a chapter and the requests for me to please update soon are starting to come in. I swear, it happens like clockwork every time I don't post within a month. And, what makes it worse, is that it's often from people I don't see comments from when I actually DO upload more frequently. As in, they don't comment on the fic itself, only when they think I don't update fast enough. Which is pretty disheartening, not going to lie.

Tragically enough, once the month mark passes, I have to start bracing myself whenever I get a comment or ask because there's now a 50/50 chance that it'll be someone asking me to update soon. They usually try to be nice about it, but it kind of always fails.

So, again, thank you for this. Because while I know that I should take my time and update on my own schedule, it's not always easy to remember that when people start asking me why it's taking so long. This was a nice change of pace and I'm very grateful for your kindness. Thank you 💜

Hi! I'm Candy (it/its), welcome to my reader-insert and N-S-F-W blog! (Sorry for the dashes, I want to avoid the p0rnbots finding me 😔) Please only follow/interact if you're 18 or older! Not everything I post here will be N-S-F-W but a good chunk will. For a purely SFW and non-reader-insert experience, please check out @cottoncandythetrashpanda. Pretty much everything I post here can also be found on my ao3, AugustQ. This means I will most likely crosspost answered requests there too. I have a Ko-Fi as well- I'm not currently taking commissions, but y'know, if you like what I do and want to throw me a couple dollars, feel free.

My requests are currently CLOSED so I can catch up with my backlog!

DNI if you are any brand of LGBT-phobe or exclusionist or any other type of bigot. This is an inclusive blog.

Request Rules (please read carefully as breaking these rules may result in you being ignored or blocked):

I WILL write:

1. NSFW, SFW, and platonic; one-shots, headcanons, alphabets and memes; most fic types basically!

2. The following fandoms: Dr. Stone, DC Comics, Hunter X Hunter (no Hisoka), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Undertale, Spy X Family, TMNT, Noblesse, Yu-Gi-Oh (and feel free to ask about other fandoms as long as they aren't in my "won't write" list! No guarantees, but these listed are just my favorites, and I might be willing to write for others, so don't be shy!)

3. Otherwise, if it's not listed in the "won't write" section below, assume I will write it! Very few themes, AUs, kinks, etc. are off limits to me =).

I WON'T write:

1. Any NSFW or reader-insert shipping of characters who are minors. Characters must be canonically 18 or older for me to write NSFW or reader insert content of them. Characters who turn 18 over the course of the story are allowed if they spend the majority of the story as adults (so most Dr Stone characters are okay, but not, say, Suika because even though she's grown by the end, she's a child for most of the manga.) Just use your best judgement, really. I may also deny requests for characters who look very young, even if they're canonically adults, and/or have unclear ages (such as Chelsea from Dr Stone) for my own comfort. Platonic and familial requests for minor characters are okay.

2. NSFW or shipping involving real people or personas/role-play characters closely based thereupon. If you know me, you know I'm in some YouTuber fandoms (Hermitcraft mostly), but I don't write about them here. Even if the creator is comfortable with it, I'm not, sorry. I might consider platonic requests for them? But no promises, I'm not sure yet.

3. No incest, r-pe/non-con, abuse, or p-dophilia; watersports or scat; omegaverse (I don't understand a/b/o dynamics and I don't want to learn)

4. The following fandoms: Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Danganronpa, SCP (these fandoms either make me uncomfortable or I just plain don't like them. No hate to fans, I promise, but I don't want to write about them lol.)

Other Stuff:

Reader will usually be gender neutral unless otherwise specified

2. Requests might take a while (i'm kinda slow sometimes)

3. Finished requests may also be posted on ao3

4. Don't spam! If you send in the same request multiple times I'll ignore it and might block you. If you're worried an ask might have gotten eaten by Tumblr, send a DM or follow up ask to check and I'll let you know.

5. I reserve the right to refuse requests for any reason. If they follow all the rules and I just don't want to do it I'll respond letting you know, though.
