As the writer, there is something quietly soothing about little fic edits before publication. Your child is almost grown and ready to go off into the world but before they stop being yours and yours alone, you must fluff and attend to them a bit. A minor dialogue change there, fixing little typos and run-ons, tying up a loose thread no one else would probably notice but you did. They itch to be free and yet you must comb their hair and straighten their tie one last time before letting them go.

#I'm thinking about sending the whole fic to my friend for thoughts and its #its a weirdly emotional process?#no one else knows the story in its entirety and what happens #Its a fic that only exists for me rn #I cant wait to share but there's a peaceful little fluffing before you submit it for review #just appreciating your hard work and getting it fixed up before its no longer just yours #maybe Im just going through a lot of loss lately and am bitterly romantic about it
