Not much progress because well, irl shit happened so here's a bit of a previously written paragraph from my Paris fic that I haven't posted

Fingers leave his chest and pick up the key Henry asked about all those nights ago, fingertips rubbing against the cool metal as if to warm it up. Alex recalls what Henry said to him in response that first night in his room, of never owning a key his entire life; the flash of suppressed anguish he saw during their walk in the garden, how resigned he sounded, how quickly he flinched away when Alex reached out to hold his hand, and he thinks he’s starting to understand what’s beneath the title and glamour. But he likes what he finds. He really, really does.

Henry looks from underneath his eyelashes, stars in his eyes and a smile at the edge of his lips. Looking like an angel, grinning like a devil, a blessing and a temptation.  He drags Alex by the chain, walking towards the bed, and in that second Alex understands how easy it is for man to fall.

Leaving the tags open :D

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
