#wishy washy vague answer im sorry

[stopthatfool]

Hi fool! <3

I love your fanfic so much and I remember reading it a while ago and genuinely loving it so so much! I really enjoy your interpretation of the characters, particularly Slider! :)

Your fic was one of my favorites for a good while (before I took a break from the fandom)! I still love it so much! Do you ever plan on updating it any time soon? (I’m so sorry if you’ve already addressed this)

Hello squoony!! <3

It's so nice to hear from you! And thank you again for your lovely comments on the jeep fic!! I always appreciate comments, so thank you! I'm glad to hear that you like my interpretation of Slider--I was so worried about getting him wrong/inaccurate! :) And no need to apologize for anything! I'm always happy to answer questions about the fic!

To answer your question: I do plan on updating, I just don't really know when that will be lol. I thought I would be able to update over the summer like I did to last year, but I obviously didn't end up doing that. My life recently has been a little crazy (kinda got hit with that infamous fanfic writer curse) and it threw me for a loop for a little while and kind of killed any desire to write for top gun specifically.

I have a plan for the rest of the fic though! And it's always in the back of my head begging me to finish it! Uni has started up for me again, which makes everything complicated (as privatized education always does), but I'm starting to let myself think about the fic again (and making minor edits and fixes to the published chapters here and there)!

I know my answer doesn't really give a definite time as to when ch. 8 will be finished and posted, but it's what I'm working with right now so I hope that's ok!

It's really nice to know that people are thinking about the fic, so thank you for reaching out, I really appreciate it!! <33

Not an ask but I love how you and B are the perfect companions/partners/lovers. The way you talk about him is so romanic. Tell us your secret to love haha?

Aw bestie this is cute <3

I mean we're not the perfect couple, we do argue sometimes and its not always easy but i guess we do have a very calm and lovely little relationship.

I think a lot of it works just because we're well matched? Im a very anxious, over-thinker who struggles to stand up for herself. Im one of those vague wishy washy creatives that gets dubbed "too empathetic" and B is a very sturdy and earthy kind of boy, hes a logical thinker and although he has empathy he doesnt let people take the piss/knows how to stand up for himself. Like our differences make us fit together like a little jigsaw.

Hes also just really really kind and warm and like, just a really lovely boy. Wouldnt hurt a fly (litterally will not hurt any living creature, when he gets rid of spiders for me he picks them up so carefully and has whole conversations with them whilst hes taking them outside. He'll even pick a perfect spot to put them down as well) he a very pure man i guess haha.

I phoned him the other day when i was feeling super anxious and the minute i heard his voice i just immediately calmed down it was like a wave washing over me. And when i told him he couldnt even understand why he was just like "oh... Thats good im glad.." now every time he answers the phone he asks me "did it happen again?" like hes really proud of the fact its so cute.

Idk though i think relationships have to be about friendship and mutual respect, nothing is better than feeling both loved and respected, knowing someone cares about you in that way is very important and i think the only way you can have a healthy relationship.

I think sometimes falling in love with your best friend is actually the right thing to do and very much worth the risk.

This is definitely the happiest healthiest relationship ive ever had and i think its because the physical and sexual attraction came when we'd already been friends for like 2 years.

Idk, i guess some of its just nature and how we are, and i do kind of believe in soulmates and that everything in my life was leading me to meet him... But then also staying together and maintaining a loving relationship is about persevering and sticking it out through difficult patches.

B puts up with a lot of shit because i am very much not mentally well, and we do have differences of opinion/temperament and like expectations sometimes. So we both have to be determined you know?

Like i think maybe being determined to love is something important?

Sorry i feel like theres 0 advice or insight here and just me talking about how lovely B is haha
