fanfic writers who write for rare pair ships are treasures and I hope they all know about the impact they have on fandoms. like… they’re the ones bringing these ships to lives, they’re one of the few people who saw the potential between two characters whose dynamics, whether or not they interact in canon, were overlooked by most fans, and they created something beautiful out of these potential dynamics. like??? hello???? that is pure genius.
not to mention how they’re the lifelines for other people who enjoy these ships but didn’t have any fics to consume until these tireless writers spent hours or days or weeks or months or years writing about these characters and their relationships, and just shared the worlds they created with their audiences for free.
or how they singlehandedly introduced the ships to new people who would’ve otherwise never thought about these ships before.
how they could just make people fall in love with the dynamics between characters who have little to no canon screentime together.
how they could just make people fall in love with the dynamics between characters who aren’t lovers in canon, characters who don’t indicate any clear hint of romance in canon.
how they see what most fans don’t and how they create such beautiful worlds for these characters are simply insane.
fanfic writers who write for rare pair ships are treasures.
shoutout to every fanfic writer who writes for rare pair ships.
