Hi! I love your Ghost Primes with Optimus AU! It’s so good.

I have a question though, do the Decepticons know that Optimus can see the 13 prime ghosts or do they just get increasingly confused each time they fight?

Thank you for the lovely artwork!!

oh they Know something funky is going on for sure lmao

a little more serious answer: they can tell something is going on with optimus and they desperately want to pretend it's not. they don't want to know how he's aware of things he shouldn't be, how he knows stuff that should have long been forgotten, how he seems to be more familiar with them than he should be. how sometimes he speaks and it's like the dead are talking through him. how sometimes he will answer to empty air and somehow they can just tell what he's responding to. who he is talking to.

they Know. and they really, really want to pretend they don't.

they already carry the guilt of failing them once. the idea of doing it once more is unbearable and they'd rather deceive themselves than face it. they'd rather their friends stay dead and gone rather than think of them seeing what they've become.

headcanons or a drabble is totally fine, whichever one is easier for you!!!! thank you for easing me into this fandom :(( i will never be able to thank you enough for making my anxious ass WAY less nervous <3 and no pressure if this doesnt inspire you ofc hehe you're never obligated to write anything !!! :D

the doodles that drew us together

Notes: aubbie thank you so much!!! I'm so glad we became moots, you're one of my closest friends and everything I see something azul related I think of you haha! I hope you'll enjoy this azul soulmate au ♪⁠ヽ⁠(⁠･⁠ˇ⁠∀⁠ˇ⁠･⁠ゞ⁠)

Masterlist

Azul had been fascinated by the idea of soulmates as a young mer

it was something that gave him hope, that despite all the other mean mers who would make fun of him, there was someone out there who would understand him and love him

and so he kept drawing on his arm, doodles of shells and other fish that caught his eye

but there wasn't any response.

maybe his doodles were too ugly and his soulmate didn't like them?

and so he learned to draw better, drawing again and again, hoping he would get a response

but still not a single mark would appear on him

it had been a tough blow to him, but he eventually accepted that he didn't have a soulmate

if he was going to be alone for all his life, then he had to take care of himself (because nobody would)

he became super greedy and selfish, always prioritising himself and his materialistic needs

although he also had a friendship with the tweels, he really only befriended them because they could help him out (but he did get attached to them over time)

and so, he opened the mostro lounge and became the sly businessman that we all know

on the first day of his second year, as he was going over documents after closing the lounge, he felt a slight tingle in his hand

Azul's eyebrow rose in response to an unexpected sensation. A peculiar warmth, like a gentle caress, emanated from the back of his gloved hand. Intrigued, he swiftly removed his gloves, revealing smooth, pale skin. A gasp of astonishment escaped his lips as his eyes fell upon a minuscule masterpiece, a tiny, adorable octopus delicately inked in pen.

"Is this...real?" Azul murmured, his voice tinged with disbelief. A surge of hope surged through his entire being, dispelling the weight that had burdened him for far too long.

With a trembling hand, he grasped his own pen and cautiously began to sketch his own octopus upon his wrist, with one tentacle reaching out, holding hands with your octopus.

And he can't stop he smile that graces his lips when a little heart appears between the two octopi.

What a hectic day it had been! For a magicless student to arrive in NRC and for him to finally connect with his soulmate!

...?

Oh. Azul had to speak to said magicless student as soon as possible.

when the two of you start being a couple, Azul does everything and anything for you

when you're in exams and your nervously doodling sea creatures, he'll draw some flowers nearby to help calm you down

no he doesn't help you cheat by writing you the answers, he's already given you the perfect study materials, you shoud put in some effort too

he gets jealous if you draw other sea creatures too much though, especially moray eels

he lets you work at the lounge with a very high pay, making sure you're not working too hard, and always offers to tutor you if you're struggling

his soulmate had to go to a different world just to find him, you'll be sure he helps to settle in and hopefully never leave again

Insert clingy octopus wrapping his tentacles all around you because he can't bare to let you go

when you have dates and appointments, he'll help remind you by writing on his arm

this man has waited for you his entire life, he's ready to lay the world down at your feet if you ask him to

I LIED, THIS IS MY LAST IMPORTANT LETTER TO YOU AT THE MOMENT:

No but it's seriously has been such an honor liveblogging Bad on the qsmp and I'm so glad I took the chance to do so when I was thinking about whether or not to post about him here <3 While I can't say when I started posting more on my account, I can say that I'm so glad it was this community and Bad that inspired me to do so and I will forever be thankful for that <3

[factual-fantasy]

howdy!!! i just realized you do tf2 art too and proceeded to read back through your au, haha! it’s sooo cool and like!! there is so much to think about here…….

like!! if damaged dolls wake up and then die, what happens if the survivors die? would they get out of the in between? are they just. dead? is this massive spoilers that you can’t answer?

also. poor pyro TTWTT one of my favorite mercs (tbh I love them allll <333 but like. y’know) and pyro’s just. sitting there. everyone else is falling into a coma or getting all lightheaded and stuff and then nothing is happening to pyro </3 (also maybe spy but your most recent post did have a spy so mayyybe)

anyways I love your art so much it is so good you are soooo big brained and I don’t know half the source materials but all your comics are soooo good <3333

HEY SPEAKING OF PYRO I ACTUALLY DID ADD BOTH RED AND BLU PYRO TO THE AU--

Originally my reasoning for not adding Pyro was that none of the survivors really needed anything that Pyro typically carries. Being that they're in a desert most of the time, its not like they really had a need for lighters or flamethrowers. Untiiiiiiil the camera changed the map to Coldfront. Now they suddenly desperately needed Pyros loot and wound up with 2 pyros. <XD

The Blu Pyro has the skull face, and Red is the other. I pictured them kind of acting like brothers, and they didn't really stick with the group. The Pybros kind'a just began to wander the map on their own out of curiosity. Maybe returning to the main group once or twice when they got hurt. But that was about it.

And yes! Red Spy is there too! I haven't thought out really a reason why though.. It could have been an accident, like Soldier. Just bumped into him and it turns out he was undamaged maybe?

As for the death thing, yeah if one of the survivors die they would just go back to their bodies. Except for Sniper and Engineer. Since Engineer is really there, he would just die. And Sniper? If he died, his soul would instead be transfered into "the thing". Only after killing both Snipers would he return to his real body.

And LASTLY, aaaa thank you!! I'm glad you like my content! :DDD

[gabessquishytum]

I can't tell you how much I loved the Cow!Hob Cat!Dream fic!

I have further thots about that au.

Hob becoming Dream's emotional support cow. Dream was already a pretty good king. It's clear that he tries to do what's best for his kingdom and wants to protect his people. But he's also pretty clearly not comfortable with social situations. Having Hob is helping with that, though. When things get to be too much his precious milk cow suggests that he looks like he needs something to drink and coaxes him off to the side for a little bit of quiet to allow him to have some fresh milk from his teat while he pets Dream's hair and nuzzles him and it just helps ground his new king and gives him a breather so he can get his spoons back together and get back to things.

Also, Hob is very social and likes to meet people so Dream takes him out fairly frequently and that also gives him a chance to see how his kingdom is doing up close. He'd also be lying if he didn't enjoy showing off his lovely dairy cow. He always makes sure that Hob is decked out in beautiful robes that leave his chest bare, and that he's draped in jewels and finery that highlights all of his assets. Dream's kingdom is known for it's fine quality rubies that are mined from the mountains and the king takes great pleasure in making sure that Hob is dripping in them every time foreign dignitaries come to call.

Hob also just likes to be out in the sun. It's relaxing for him and as such Dream has developed a taste for fucking him senseless in lovely fields of flowers. And Hob has never been so well fed and cared for. He is insanely loyal to the King of Cats and is extremely proud to be his pampered pet. It's also feeding pretty hard into his exhibitionism kink and he doesn't think he's ever been as horny and well fucked either.

Yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed cow!Hob. I'm hoping there will be at least one more chapter!

I love the idea of Hob being like a combination of a fidget toy and a really soothing plushie for Dream to squeeze and cuddle when his duties get tiring. Its amazing how rubbing his cheek on Hob’s soft tummy and getting a few mouthfuls of milk will make him feel better. All the courtiers and even foreign ambassadors are so grateful for Hob’s existence, because he can calm Dream down from the most boiling rage! Hob has recieved many gifts from grateful people who are like "thank you for making sure the king didn't scratch my eyes out". Who knew that a docile, ordinary milk cow could have such skills in diplomatic relations?

And Hob being out in the sunshine and enjoying nature!! <3333 he loves rolling in the soft grass (naked) while Dream watches and swoons over how pretty he is. Dream swears he can taste the sunshine in the milk that Hob makes for him. He wants to lay there surrounded by sunflowers, hand feeding a massive punnet of strawberries to his beloved cow. Alas he has duties to attend to. But Hob will be there at the end, ready to snuggle up to Dream and present a leaking teat for him to suckle. Life is so much better with a pretty pet cow to love and dote on <333 and of course Hob always makes sure that his king has time to fuck him at the end of the day. He wouldn't want Dream to miss out on his soft, wet little hole. And the more he's fucked and fed and loved, the more he'll be able to provide for his King! It's a perfect cycle, and Hob can't wait to spend his whole life fulfilling his purpose: making delicious milk for his beloved Dream.

linh my linh my linh! for the hbowar ask game, l, q, u, w, x, z!

thank you so much!

l. would you say the hbo war fandom is more or less hectic than your previous/other ones?

less hectic. I don't wanna show my hide here but my main fandom before HBOWar is Dota 2 Esport. Oh boi. It was a toxic cesspool of gamerdom™️I'm glad I left it behind.

q. acknowledge something nice about your least favorite of the hbo war shows.

I can and I would. MOTA's music and sound mixing is amazing. The title theme really goes above and beyond and absolutely needs to win an award or two.

u. acknowledge a flaw in your favorite of the hbo war shows.

TP has no flaw! /j

I think while there is some obvious flaw with TP, for instance its pacing issue. But another lesser problem it has is how unbalance Basilone's storyline is. Speilberg and Hank really can't make these war show without some mythical hero-ism. No offense to the real life Basilone who I know is a really cool dude, but this storyline imo lacks the depth that Leckie's and Sledge's have.

w. what's an hbo war url that you like/would change to? if you have an hbo war url, why did you choose it?

i don't have an HBOWar url 😔 But if I don, I wanna have the eugenebsledge url

x. choose one screencap of any of the shows that you would frame and put on the wall.

z. tag some of your favorite artists/writers/editors in the fandom and give them a compliment.

aaahhh okay imma try to be cool.

@bitch-butter webgott extraordinaire. I love love your realistic yet riveting portrayal of the up and down in relationships (both romantic and platonic) and how messy people can be. Your OCs are fantastic. And your deconstruction of typical Omegaverse tropes in 'everybody wants to rule the world' is the first i've ever seen and so well-done it should be setting the new standard for this AU.

@ep6bastogne listen to me. you have a very distinct voice, you are meticulous in your detail. and you have so much passion for writing it shows in any of your project

@avonne-writes you have a very gentle yet devastating prose. Your world-building has a unique quality: its depth peaks through every ordinary detail and make me want to know more about everything. I love all your works. You never miss.

@gorgeousundertow the first thing that come to my mind is your research and how much you have fun with real life details. And you are so so good at the ✨yearning✨ you can teach a class on that xD

@thewayisset I LOVE YOUR ART. You deserve to have your own gallery, that's all <3333 I feel like I suck at analysing art so I can only give you a lot of heart ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

@screwby again. what can i say. your works are spectacular! Especially your watercolor!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

@cinnamonrollsledge i already screamed and shouted in your inbox but I need to say it into the world how much i love your edits!!! I love the TP ep 6+White gif set you made wowza that is talent

@antigonenikk devastating edits. hits everytime. and I'm loving all your fics too, you are really good at poking at the pain and angst but keep it in-character. That Sledgefu/Mr.robot fusion fic lives in my mind rent-free 🗣️🗣️🗣️

@almost-a-class-act queen of banter in her fics, you are very insightful and I love your perspective on both the historical side of things and also the fandom side of things <3

@getmean one of the biggest inspiration for my own writing. i don't know what more can I say beside, you are the GOAT. And unlike sport commentators, I really mean it.

okay that is a lot of people. I will stop now.

[formula-fun]

I just realized that all of your fics have become part of my favorite Charles/Lestappen fics. I really love how you write Charles. It's like you scratch an itch in my brain. LOL.

Also, I absolutely love your stories! I always have this thought that lestappen (and Formula 1) RPF in general could do with more Alternative Universe fics, especially space/science ones, so I was so excited when I saw you wrote a Venom AU. And now a Pacific Rim AU is on the way too? I'm excited and thank you for writing these great stories and may you never stoo writing.

PS. I love love the If I had words verse and both stories made me cry.

oh my god thank youuuu <3333 charles is my baby, i love him so much and im glad you love him too!!!

and fully agree, there's definitely so much room for sci fi aus here. fire + sound has been so much fun to write and ive taken a bit of a break from pacrim au but that's been fabulous too. really looking forward to picking it back up again!!

[fishcow99]

hey! I read the redfinch military au you wrote on ao3…

OH MY LORD IT WAS SO GOOD AND I SWEAR I WENT THROUGH ALL FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF WHILE READING IT.

was wondering if you have any other redfinch/newsies works? <3333

ASDIOFADJF THANK YOU

unfortunately i don't have any other redfinch ones rn but i am technically working on two ones that do have newsies in them but they are like crossover stuff but thank you so much for reading! i'm glad you enjoyed!

also about going through the five stages of grief: i'm pretty sure finch did too so dw >:)

[emry-stars-art]

No joke I would read like more then millions words from royal au

No amount of words could express how much I love your brilliant mind and your AUs

Like genuinely

So no worries about how long it is I would read anything from you because you always make it so interesting; your writing reads so smooth (does this make sense? Like I don’t even notice I’ve read like 20k words already because you make it so entertaining and I’m so into it and I AM HOOKED)

Do not get me started on your arttttt

This AU is the bane of my existence and it’s not even mine Y o u A r e A m a z i n g <3333

(Also thank you Anon for the “North Star” ask I’m crying that’s so sweet and nice and ALSHSBHFJSOOWNFKFNNSNWKW!!!🥹❤️❤️)

AaaaAAHHH THANK YOU SM 😭 first you're so nice, I'm really glad you like my writing

Second I'm very glad to hear people will read lots of this because yeah it's gonna be a lot 😂 something to dread or look forward to depending on your view!!

[k-s-morgan]

Hello Katrin ! I hope you're doing well !

I absolutely love everything you write ! TGSTLTH is basically canon for me ! The other day I kept looking for the epidisodes with the teachers before realizing that it was in your fic not the anime, haha !

And the last chapter of ATLWETD killed me ! The "my griffindor" at the end made me scream and I still feel myself blushing as I write this ask ^^

I really want to read your batjokes story, but I'm not familiar at all with the lore or the universe (besides the basic things everyone knows about batman), do you think I could still fully appreciate it (or at least understand what's going on XD) ?

On another note, have you watched the movie The Old Guard ? It's one of my absolute favorite thing ever and it's based on a comic book series. When I first watched it I hyperfixated like I'd rarely ever done, and I think it can always be useful to hyperfixate on a piece of media when you have other problems in life you want to get away from, even for just a moment. There's also a second movie in the making so I'm so happy about it !

Anyway, that was long XD. I hope you're having as great of a day as you can, I'm sending you all my love and support <3333

Hi! Thank you so much for this wonderful ask <3 I'm so glad you've been enjoying my writing! That "My Gryffindor" line was a completely spontaneous addition, and I was very glad when Tom decided to say it because I think it sums up his changing attitude to Harry well. Imagine him saying something like this when they just met :D He'd be appalled at every single implication: that Harry is a Gryffindor, that Tom might want a Gryffindor to belong to him in such a personal way, that he might feel affection for anyone in general and someone like this in particular. They are getting closer.

Oh, my Batjokes story is a complete AU, so I think you won't have any problems reading it if you're interested in the premise! There are some references and little moments that probably land better when you know canon, but it's nothing significant. The story focuses on Bruce and Joker as they meet as children and tracks their evolving relationship through the decades - and the inevitable heartbreak, jealousy, and obsession that come with it.

I never watched The Old Guard, but one of my friends was a big fan of it! I kept wanting to give it a try but eventually I forgot about it completely, you actually reminded me of it. I'll open a tab with it to finally watch it. Thank you for the rec!

[angelpuns]

In order to show you that we love your Rural Au as much as you do, i have compiled a bunch of asks.

Sorry if you have already answered any of these, i am going to read you IFTW comic after.

How did they become mutants and where is Draxum in this Au?

Did Yoshi work in the navy bc you metioned him working on the farm in his naval uniform?

Why did Yoshi leave? In Raphs ref, it said that he took over most of the out door labour after he left.

Does Yoshi ever go by the name of Splinter?

Is the farm on the outskirts of Tokyo?

Is the farm within human communities or is it in Yokai Villiage?

If it is do the turtles ever have to hide from human passers by?

How do they enter the Yokai Village on their first entry? Assuming that it is above ground, unlike the Hidden City.

Do humans know of it?

Are they welcome/welcomed in Yokai Village as they are mutants and does anyone know that they are?

How do Leo and Usagi first meet? Is it through one of his brothers first?

Why are they frenemies? Other than their catching frogs game?

Is Leo suspicious of him or anyone else in the Yokai Village, like he is in canon?

Do the brothers still learn martial arts/ ninjitsu?

Do they use their training, other than to practice?

Do they use any mystic weapons/have any powers?

Do they know of they anscestors and their destiny?

My apologies that this is super long, you do not need to answer them all in one go. Thank you.

P.S I will most likely have more questions for you once i get these answer and will definitely ask about each one of the brother.

NGL I AM SO EXCITED TO ANSWER ALL OF THESE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE AHHHHHHHHH

I am silly and love this au and I'm glad someone wants to hear me talk about it >:33333OKAY SO SO SO SO In this timeline, there's also a hidden city underneath Tokyo - since Tokyo was one of the bigger cities in Japan at the time ( there's also one underneath the old capital, but it's gotten smaller due to yokai moving to Tokyo).

Draxum is sort of same situation as canon, he's a scientist, he is silly etc etc. Rather than a prophecy though, Draxum (along with lots of other yokai) heard the stirrings of war in the 20s and 30s and decided ' I'm gonna make some super soldiers just in case the human war becomes the yokai's war too '. Captain America type beat. So he illegally made these four mutant turtles and the yokai council did NOT like that at ALL so they have a warrant out for his arrestr (v similar to rise ) and basically Draxum dropped those guys off far, far away from Tokyo and just hoped for the best. I haven't decided if he makes any sort of comeback, I wanna say no because the nature of the au and all but who knows :3333

Yes! So Yoshi acutally is one of the youngest captain's of the navy - which btw fun fact!! After WWI, Britain stepped in and helped Japan build their Navy up a bit since they didn't really have on! So Yoshi ends up being pretty decently ranked while also being fairly young. It helps that he comes from somewhat of a military family, though I haven't really gone too far on his fam's backstory just yet.

He actually ended up being called for duty because Japan was entering WWII, so he just literally leaves to go back to his original posting and all that. He did not end up telling any of the kids except Raph about it because he wanted to protect them but it kinda ends up biting him in the ass later :(

Yoshi himself never actually goes by the name Splinter, but the yokai villagers call him that because they just hate humans ( more on that later, I've actually got a comic for that :D)

The farm is actually pretty far from Tokyo, it's in Northern Japan! They live in the mountains near Aomori prefecture, probably somewhat near Lake Towada but not near enough that there is regular human traffic. The farm itself is up on a nice big hill, so typically they don't have to hide too much. They live sort of in a human farming community, but the neighbors are 15-30 minutes down the road so they truly don't have to hide too often. Yoshi's family owns the land/farmhouse they live in so they don't have to deal with trespassing and all that either.

So the yokai village is surrounded by a huge huge foret, it's kind of like a valley in the middle of the forest that was cleared by Yuichi's family like wayyyy way back. It's only hidden by the forest, I think Yoshi may have found it because of stories talking about a yokai village or just by chance. The boys first went when they were very very very young (with Yoshi) So they all know the way pretty easily!

Humans don't know if it/visit the village but I think there are definitely some stories going around.

The yokai welcome the turtles, they believe they are yokai as well ( the boys also think they are yokai), however Yoshi is not entirely welcome. The village really does not trust him and they sort of pity the boys for 'having to live with him'.

I actually have a comic for their first meeting: here. they're just frenemies because they didn't exactly like each other upon first meeting, plus Leo knows Yuichi doesn't like Yoshi and all that. However, Leo likes spending time with Yuicihi and considers him his best friend! They have a complicated friendship and also Leo might just have a crush on him later :3

Leo is a lot more trustworthy of other people in this au, probably because of the nature of how Yoshi found them and all. Raph is the more suspicious one of the group. Leo also grew up around the yokai village so he finds it a very nice, friendly place!

they don't know any martial arts, have mystic powers or do any training. Truly their lives are just ' farm, have fun and enjoy life as it is'. Plot wise, they all have their own goals and perception of their life. They all have complicated feelings about Yoshi not being around, about the war ( whn they learn about it) and about their futures. They don't really have any destiny to speak of (except for what Draxum wanted for them). They also don't know anything about their family - Yoshi has kept it from them on purpose because he doesn't want what remains of his family to find out about them. He also had a wife that passed away and they don't know anything about her

Hellooo,

I just started following you and I felt the urge to write to you after reading the last two "I love you" pieces you wrote. Thanks a lot for sharing your work ! Those in particular were so tender, it felt like I was witnessing love in bloom. I'm also a big fan of how similar the flow of the two posts was, but it still captured the individuality of Hiromi/Yuuji - I love cohesive bodies of work that still have the added flair of each character and you're so good at that Can I ask if you plan on working on any other Hiromi pieces ? I saw you mentioning a WIP about him Either way, I look forward to anything you post and I'm so glad I found your blog

OMG??? HELLO !!!

gahhh i love writing stream of consciousness pieces like those and honestly i needed to put my hiromi brainrot out there once and for all 😭 i'm really happy you realized what i was going for with both pieces and that you actually liked it 🥹 i'm sending you plenty of kisses and hugs rn !!

ALSO ! i have so many hiromi wips, in particular a multi-chap piece where it's just snippets and tidbits of life with him, the most recent one i'm working on was the one i mentioned before—

so yesyes expect more hiromi content 😵‍💫 i have to pull myself away from his wips to actually finish my regency au most times 😭😭 i hope you enjoy your time here <3333

SUPER HYPED, Shelby is actually so exciting, so is Doc. IM LITERALLY SO INVESTED LMAOOO Again I'm so crazy about the parallels, like the creeper blowing up scar because of Grian, that's a parallel to 3rd life, yeah? If so it's SO silly i love it sm <3333

And also the parallel of Grian figuring out the whole linked thing before scar does, who has NO fucking idea, it's so silly.

Also adoring Jimmy and Tango already, that's REAL fun. I also want to comment again on the characterization, I can literally HEAR their voices in the text and it's so well done, ESPECIALLY Scar. SO well done <333

YEAH!!! luckily Shelby and Doc are far closer in the story than others!

YEAHH!!!!! I'm glad people are able to pick up on the parallels , I enjoy taking my favourite things from these series and placing them into this au in interesting ways!!

THANK YOU!!! I actually worry so much about not portraying these characters in a believable way, so I'm glad I did Scar's character justice!!

[mochiwrites]

Mochi. Mochi when I get you- /pos

Dude, I'm in love with your writing style, how you portray the characters, the imagery, all of it, I love it so much it's so incredible <3

All the AUs are incredible too, I've been looking at the Secret Husbands one for a while and I'm just like- HOW DID YOU GET THIS IDEA!? ITS SO COOL!?

Also the Fallen Petals story for the zine. I have not been okay after reading that, it has made me sad, apathetic, and hit over the head with 1,000 bricks and exploded, it's just so- *inconsolable sobbing* I'm reading it again and again and I keep falling in love with it over and over again :) I'm still actively crying and all my relatives are genuinely wondering if I'm okay LMAO

Quick question: would fanart (or like a comic adaptation) be okay for some of the stories, (staring at Secret Husbands and fallen petals) with credit obv? You have sparked the inspiration :)

Absolutely love your work, it's awsome and I can't wait to see where you head next <3

(I'm so sorry for rambling 😭)

UWAHHHHH THANKIE 🥹💕💕💕 oh gosh I think secret husbands happened because I was rewatching some sewer cats stuff from s7 and joking about it being married scarian and impdubs just being silly and then started thinking a bit Too hard about scarian being married??? which led me to throwing in the twist of no one knowing SHFHTHGHTH

and AWWWWW I’m sorry the zine piece made you cry DVSBFBFB but ;w; I’m really glad you liked it!!! I think it’s probably one of my favorite pieces I’ve written?? I love the flow of it, esp the aftermath scenes of last life and double life — I reread the fic yesterday and was like “damn I didn’t pull my punches at All huh”

and 🥺 fanart is absolutely okay!!! ;w;

ueueueue thank you sm <333 and omg please don’t apologize for rambling !!! rambles are Always welcome here <3333
