I know what you mean completely! I'm much more accustomed to writing--and reading, for that matter--fluff. So writing this was definitely a challenge for me, but a good one. And to be honest if I saw the summary in a rec list or somewhere I wouldn't have clicked the link, so it means a lot to me that you did and that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much!
Aw, thank you! Yeah, I sort of wish I had gotten more Dustin in here... he's so much fun to write (when he's not sadfacing all over the place like he was in this one).
Thank you so much! Eduardo's arc is obviously what I wanted to do well at the core of this fic, so I'm glad that you think it was executed well. And I agree completley, I swear it hurt to even write that quote. Poor Wardo, my baby. So much of me just wants to wrap him up in blankets and drink hot cocoa together and let him cry on my shoulder. ANYWAY, thank you so much again, so glad you enjoyed! :)
i loved this story because i think it falls under three very disparate categories very well: 1) schmoopy fiail-inducing fix-it 2) intense, dark eduardo shit which i think always fits him so well and it's hard to read but it really works, too and 3) REALISM. that last i think is the hardest one to do paired with either or both of the other two, which i would love enough on their own anyway but there's something very honest and profound about this that really, really impressed me. lines like "I really thought I would come out of it all the same person." and eduardo's own ways of relating to his problems and catching up to his feelings, and your mark was soo good. i just really loved this, great job!!!
Wow this is really embarassing because you wrote me such a nice composed comment and now I'm just gonna flail all over you, so we're gonna cross it out and pretend it never happened, 'kay?
wow okay seeing i got a comment from YOU just gave me the biggest, sappiest smile because you are probably my favorite writer in this fandom. like, seriously, i have a pdf of "call to me with words i never knew" on my phone. also you are probably the only fic author that makes me look up words in the dictionary and i love that. and i follow you on tumblr and happen to know that you're one of the most hilarious people; your text posts and your face tag never fail to brighten my day and WOW okay i'm done now. ANYWAY now I'm going to act like a normal human being. Thank you so much! Trying to be realistic/sensitive to Eduardo's situation was my main goal in writing this, so it really thrills me that it seems to have come across. But yeah, I'm a sucker for dark angsty shit as well as cavity-inducing fluff, so writing this was like a dream for me
