actual photo of me, feeling gd horrible today, and opening tumblr to see this wonderful message thankyou so much Anon skjhdh???

I am still working on it tho! Just between life and work beating the absolute stuffing out of me for the last couple months (dealing with a broken finger for the last six weeks also really put a crimp on the words jdhjk), I haven’t even had a chance to touch it lately. All the outline for the fic is planned, and I have a buncha separate scenes written down, with the next 2.5 chapters mostly finalised aside from getting the chance to clean them up.

Gods but I really want to work on this story some more, and knowing people like it so much to write such gorgeous messages to me makes me feel so warm and fuzzy and downright elated. I’ve been having such a time of it lately, but this message has seriously made my week, so thankyou so so much Anon ♥

I'm using anon because it's a side blog, but I want to give a HUGE f'ing thank you for "Suppression". It's one of my favorite fics on this site and makes me want to get back into writing (plus synchro stuff again). Signed - teal-mermaidwrites

Ohmygods I’m only just seeing this now I’m so sorry anon skhdkgfld OTL

Holy shit tho thankyou so much for such a sweet message. It’s always one thing to hear that people enjoy your writing, but it’s such a wonderful feeling altogether to know that it’s the kind of thing that inspires someone else to create because of it, even years on. I’m so glad it’s given you such a spark 💚

I really enjoyed writing that story, even if it never quite made it to completion, and it really warms my heart to hear other people adore my words too. They were always such a fun pair to write for, and I really do miss writing them some days, but they’ll always have a place in my blorbos.

Thankyou so so much, this was such a sweet and lovely surprise 💚

The glow within those eyes faded as he glanced downward to where a small earthen jar had clattered and crashed to the floor in his haste to escape; the edge of a dark cloak having caught it as he slammed the door shut. Its contents something he knew in a heartbeat but could care less of in that moment.

No, he turned his attention to the stricken creature in his arm instead, and fingers ever so gently traced across a back, feeling feathers matted with dry blood. Even if his heart burned with a lifetime of them, the state of his familiar wrought so many more questions to the fore.

Deep, dire questions, both old and fresh – ones he knew could only be brushed to the side in the wake of what lay stricken before him.

No.

He needed answers of another ilk.

Since this chapter picks up right where the last one left off, it comes with a particular warning about depictions of an animal injured.
