I just realized that one and the same person (aka you) wrote some of my favourite Ted Lasso fanfics! Barn Raising, Scaffolding, Better Angels etc. I've read them all! Every single one is a fucking masterpiece! I just wanted to know if TSS and Wriggle up on Dry Land are still in the works? I started reading TSS but stopped at chapter 4 bc I was too scared of a cliffhanger but I've been keeping up with Wriggle Up and I'm totally in awe of your writing! Thank you so much for creating these stories and sharing them with us!

yoooooo!! that’s so funny. you like huh all these fics seem to have some similar quality to them (it’s that gav altschmerzes steez) (themes of trauma and ‘i dont know what im doing but im doing the best we can’ and platonic intimacy and touch and maybe a liiiiiittle bit of narrative humour in there somewhere and a dash of misunderstanding/miscommunication along the way) and lo and behold: it’s all been me this whole time!! that’s so delightful thank you so much for letting me know my work has hit the spot for you <3

as for same story and wriggle up they are both extremely much still in progress!! im very close to finishing chapter 8 of wriggle up, should have that up this weekend abouts, and i don’t have a timeline on same story as that’s not up to me (i have a wonder editor working on it with me/doing the coding for those cool social media post aspects) but please know it’s not in any way abandoned and is still a project i care for very much and very actively!!

thank you so much for taking the time to ask and im so touched and flattered you enjoy my work so much <3 im hoping to make some big progress today on wriggle up specifically so keep an eye out soon!!
