#im awful w words (ironic) but man i just feel overwhelmed with positivity

hi hi, as someone who adores iavnam, i might be biased but it was one of your best works (at least for me)

reader as a sex worker wouldn't really be most people's cup of tea, but i'd like to say that you wrote it so respectfully! in fact, it made me think that sometimes, perhaps (some) sex workers irl are people with less choices than others - and how it's so unfair that most people see them literally as objects of disgust. it's quite similar to how the other characters, besides iavnam!hee, see the reader only as someone capable of doing bad things without even trying to understand her circumstances, just because she's a sex worker.

i think that's what made me like iavnam!hee more, because he sees reader as the amazing woman she is and not because of her job! same thing for reader, you see how freaking independent and resourceful and witty, and how she knows her charm without invalidating her value! i really adored their dynamics, especially with how they were foils of each other, and how they push each other to be a better version of themselves while being on the run. they really were meant to be together :<

(+++ the carnival/run down fair was one of my favorite scenes in the whole thing because of how you wrote it so beautifully - i could vividly see how reader and hee were falling in love, but still very mindful of their circumstances, so the tension and angst was there and---i'm rambling sorry 😭)

though, i was kinda expecting the ending, because it seemed so in line with how you wrote their characters. but in my head the two will be reborn in a different lifetime where they can be together, perhaps in better circumstances - but i don't think their story would be as beautifully tragic as it is without the stakes they had this time round

seriously, aj babeee, your writing is so so beautiful and i'm glad you're back!!

thank you thank you thank you so much for sharing iavnam, so please know that it really touched my heart (i feel quite lucky to have been read it while ongoing) and i'm sure that iavnam would stick with me for a loooong time

ps. my deadass teared up a little while typing this because i remembered hee and reader again haha 😭 i love them so so much, aj. thank u for writing and sharing their story :((

this somehow made me fall in love with iavnam all over again 😭 i truly adore that fic so much and honestly to read that someone just got it and all its nuances makes me so incredibly happy and proud

i always set out to make yn strong and know her self worth bc as someone who has a few friends in the sex industry, that is exactly who those woman are - resilient. i did love hee a lot bc he actually brought her walls down slowly considering how much damage she had been through, only a special man can do that for her!!

they are easily my favourite couple ive written, maybe tied for first with mp, but man i adore them and im so so happy for this feedback you have NO idea <333

i nearly cried bc it just means a lot to me and i cannot express the gratitude i have for you rn :(( ilysm and thank you infinity
