You answering asks about your fic last week sent me re-reading a bunch of them on AO3, and somehow I never connected the smilebackwards fic author in all the different fandoms I like as the SAME PERSON. So this past week is when I realized that one of my favorite Old Guard fics (Nicky's got a Michaelangelo), one of my favorite Malec fics (Alec is cursed to obedience), one of my favorite SGA fics (Sheppard's Marines), and one of my favorite Batfamily fics (Tim teaches Damian to take over Wayne Enterprises) were all written by one person. My mind is blown. (Or maybe not. They all have the kind of family and relationship feels I love, so I probably could have figured it out earlier.)

Anyway, I love all your fic, even though I just discovered it was all your fic less than a week ago. 😂

😂 I love this so much. I do absolutely fandom hop all over the place and I recognize your name as a frequent reader. Pleased to be journeying through all these fandoms with you 🤝

It's so especially humbling to me when people still love my older fic. Like I wrote Atlantis Marines in 2015 and it's still enjoyed!! 💖
