#I'M ABSORBING IT ALL INTO MY BLOODSTREAM RN AND WILL PROCEED TO LISTEN TO IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE YOU ABSOLUTE ANGEL

ok @johermione now that's i've read it 5 times, cried over it and smiled all day brighter than the sun, i can compile together just some of my fav parts and thoughts about your literati fic...

He should probably stop putting those behind his ears, but the gesture is doing too much for his ego for him to give it up. It's silly, but he feels like an actual writer when he does that, empty coffee mugs, books everywhere, the company of words, city lights and air.

I absolutely loved the utterly human action of putting a pencil behind your ear, it's the most uselessly wonderful thing to do! and the imagery of that end line is amazing <3

He may be quiet on the outside, but he's bursting with words on the inside.

idk how to explain but this line just hit different. everything about it is just so deep and meaningful, and all captured in such a simple and beautiful sentence...also a huge relate for me (and the images and feelings created by the word "bursting" is just incredible to me)

New York feels stale on his skin which is to be expected considering how New York's been under his skin for a long time.

as soon as i read this line i just thought "what should be over burrowed under my skin" so yeah

"You, me. We don't talk with words."

this kind of love and friendship is just perfect, i love the chemistry you showed between them (see following point as well)

"Aaand I'm rambling and you're smiling... Great..."

"Oh, and Rory?" "Yeah?" "Keep the rambling going."

THIS WAS SO CUTE AND JUST AHHHH i love the perfect balance between them (and also omg the bit where she's like "jess you're wearing two different shoes" <333333333)

She is both a writer and a person today too.

idk why but this distinction between writer and person was such an interesting part, it made me smile and pause to think about it more...(too many intricate thoughts to write rn)

They sat there, painting-like and wordless, until the first salutation of dawn.

first of all the utterly gorgeous poetry of this line...it felt like breathing in the fresh air just after it's rained (meaning it was so beautiful and made me feel so alive) and it's just perfect neil

I close my eyes and I’m wide awake, I open them and I’m dreaming.

i'm crazy for this idea - the way everything feels up side down and the wrong way round, the indistinction (i dont think that's a word but yk what i mean) between fantasy and reality.....it's just so cinematically perfect somehow (and ofc so rev like) (WAIT there's a word for that!!! oneirataxia i think...such a beautiful word <3)

The world still looks bright enough. Sometimes, I think about home, about Lane, about Luke, about mum and the world looks brighter. Shiny and familiar. Warm.

i love this sm!!!! the clear love she has for them, and the feelings that come with that...the sunny, bright, shinning and familiar warmth of being loved <3

(and jo. the playlist. THE PLAYLIST. i'm crying AGAIN istg the tears are streaming down my face but i'm smiling and crying and i'm just a mess rn i love you so so so so so much for this)
