moss its past 2am and i've just finished rereading your fic, the curtains pulled out of the wall, and god. i'm so not normal about this fanfiction. i've never read anything that manages to capture the mundanity of grief SO well. i tend to read a lot of scifi/fantasy books so it's refreshing to read something so real. i love the fact that nothing actually changed, we got to witness a week of their lives, just a regular week. things happened but it wasn't important enough to change anything. it really felt like i was watching it all play out from the outside, dropped in the middle of the story and not understanding certain references the characters made, also the fact that it's not really addressed what actually happened to etho for a while. all the characters are in the loop, but the reader has to work it out through context clues. it's really cool

this is probably incomprehensible but I really just wanted to say i really like your writing!!

Apple I just woke up to this and I'm crying, thank you so much. This is probably my favorite thing I've ever written and I think about it so frequently. I wrote this story for me, as a way to process things in my own life, and I am very happy other people also enjoy it.

The thing about never discussing Etho's death until the funeral is so important to me. Up until then, maybe he isn't actually dead. Up until then Bdubs is ignoring it actively. He is pushing it out of his mind. Etho is not dead. So therefore he is pushing it out of the narration. It may be 3rd person, but we are following him.

And everything is left unresolved.
