#TAMN SCARIAN DONT LEAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

so i read "There Are Monsters Nearby" by @uhohbestie

i am unwell. had this fic waiting in my back pocket for a few weeks since i found it, and since i got time to sit down and start it, i haven't stopped really. i did pretty much nothing but read, eat and sleep with only a couple distractions for like the last 5 days i think lmao. oh my god i cant recommend this enough. toxic yaoi slow burn into healthy yaoi my beloved....though the healthy part is debatable depending on how you look at it lmao (they're healthy for each other that's good enough right? sorry everyone else-)

for real tho, genuinely one of my favourite fic reads ever. im gonna need you guys to trust me on this because im not showing my ao3 history to prove it, but ive read so many fics over the years, and the fact that this one has already made its way into my top 5 (im not counting lmao) says alot to me. its writing had me GRIPPED. ngl i accidentally spoiled a couple bits for myself by looking and official art for the fic, but even with it slightly spoiled i still couldn't believe how much i felt immersed with the characters and wanted to see what would happen next. also wasnt expecting to feel bad for and care about grian after reading the bio of the fic. they really crushed it with not making him an irredeemable dickhead for the sake of having drama. im bad with words but yeah it was really nice to see both sides of the story and see how they both grew for each other and themselves.

i already miss this fic despite having only finished it this morning, and idk when im gonna stop missing it.
