i havent been on a03 since 2018/2019, and your fic had such a huge impression on me, that i came back just to read it again. it was such a beautiful fanfic, one that i re-read over and over for months, trying to almost imprint the words into my skin. im sad to see that its no longer up, or at least that its not publically accessible, i was hopeful when i saw the bonus chapter on your alt account, but im sure you had your reasons to take it down, whatever they may be. i just wanted you to know, one stranger on the internet to another, how much your words impact others, and what an amazing and impactful author you are. i hope you're still writing, i can tell that thats your soul, that thats your spark.
storytelling is one of the oldest talents and skills humans have had. while we were all surviving in the dark, scrambling around, people like you were weaving words and using them to invoke the inner humanness of us all. hold onto that, most people never have a inner spark that palpable.
stay safe out there, fellow traveler. ❤️
