#also your english is fine!! hopefully this doesn't read as patronizing i just wanted to make things clear :D

[strifesolution]

How much hints around RTs and Wilbur's implied relationships are you planning? I only spotted to but I'm also kinda dumb and maybe forgot another couple. (In my head when I first seen Dan thinking about Wil's letters, I thought 'when will a letter showing up saying Wilbur died' even though I don't think that will happen) (I am bad at english)

Gonna talk more in detail about this fic, but it'll only be spoilers if you're not caught up, so you can do so HERE!

okay there's your warning. anyway.

you clever bastards keep saying things that are impossible to respond to without directly confirming or denying if said thing is going to happen or not, so i am very pointedly and intentionally refusing to acknowledge the last part of this ask.

first thing: Dan and Wilbur. we'll get a few more hints going forward but it's essentially: Wilbur was the first person in Dan's life after [SPOILERS] his entire family died. so he gets very attached in a short period, especially with as young as he is (almost everyone in this au matches up with the IRLs CC age, Dan would've been 20 and Wilbur 19) Wilbur's a total hotshot so of course Dan gets a tiny crush, but then Wilbur has to leave before anything develops and they only interact through letters after that, so of course Dan is left with unresolved feelings.

actually, now's a GREAT time to bring up the pre-canon timeline!

obviously a few things are missing because they haven’t been revealed, but hopefully this helps visualize it better! but again. wilbur will continue to be brought up, we just can neither confirm or deny how much closure you (or dan, for that matter) will get.

HOWEVER. LOL. the Ambiguous or Implied Relationship(s) tag isn't even there for RTSoot, it's there because Dan and Kevin are. literally sleeping together. they kiss. in chapter 10. but it's unclear of how far that's gonna go/if it'll stick around/etc so we're not tagging them as a pairing. not to mention all the other ""questionable"" moments between all 5 of them in this au.

we decided when developing this fic that revealing any end game pairings from the get go would be putting our cards on the table, hence that disclaimer at the beginning like "you signed up for whatever that tags ends up turning into" basically

last little thing, the Minor or Background Relationship(s) tag will probably get added... next chapter, actually? they weren't originally planned but there's at least two ships that naturally formed between characters that aren't any of the lads. so look forward to that! :P
