I absolutely fell in love with this fic, and all the parts of it! I started it as a silly night reading but it genuinely pulled me into the story and I couldn’t even take my eyes away. The way you portrayed the characters and their lingering problems, how they act, how they think, how they simply try to help each other and how messy it is. And yet how much love they feel.. it genuinely moved something in me. I adore your writing style and the way you describe it all. Everything felt so right, as if the scenes truly happened and you just showed them. I have to say.. now imma just always imagine all those dialogues happening in between lines in the real quest haha. As someone who sees themselves in phainon a lot, everything he said just hit far too close to home and I it has felt like my emotions were going to explode. Thank u so so so much again for this work, and also for giving it a hopeful ending. As I’m reading this after 3.3 story, I needed this. and I’m so glad you deleted it since I will definitely do a re-read some day!
Hello there! I have to say, after my disappointment about this fic and it not finding audience and my motivation going away, I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me. You’re the kind of reader why it’s worth to spend countless hours writing deep fics like this — mainstream fandom can never appreciate details, and it is so so so good when some readers still can. I love you pointed it out how both of them help the other (one way or another, some things being obvious while other things are being only in between the lines). I see this pair as they go back and forth with everything — Phai may need Mydei’s support and sheer existence more than the other way around, but to let someone close and truly enjoy his company and show weakness and vulnerability are also things that hit Mydei at his core and mean just as so much. Phainon is a wonderful person who wants to do well and tries his best but the insecurities and overachieving tendencies can get into his head and mess up his progress and ability to truly succeed and execute things. If I could give him something, it’d be a hug and a pat on the shoulder to trust himself more and relax — success will come with hard work and dedication (or to say this to Phai-kinnies heh~). I’m rambling now, I hope you don’t mind! Thank you fir reading and appreciating my work, I’m happy I didn’t end up deleting it in the end. Writing the bathtub scene and conversation cost me insane amount of hours until it felt the characters and meanings and the in between the lines things were also at place — I am really so happy there us someone who can appreciate it. I grieved Mydei after 3.1 knowing he will die anyway; 3.3 hit but let’s just imagine they are at the seaside under the comfy blanket and it all was just a bad dream:’) Thank you again for all!❤️
AWW IM SO GLAD IT MADE YOU HAPPY BC I LOVE YOUR WORK! The point about the mainstream fandoms is so real, because I usually only find fics w not many details, some straightforward one-shots (I’m not saying that as an insult by any mean tho, I think it’s sometimes relaxing to just read smth simple) but these kind of fics like yours are always my favourites cause they leave a deep mark on me and I just spend days thinking about them. I can always appreciate when a fic has been put a lot of work and thought into!
The bathroom scenes was so perfect I remember my stomach being tied into knots while reading it because of how intense and emotional it was! And so so so accurate! The line that stayed in my mind was when Phainon came by to comfort mydei and help him, but realised he accidentally made it about himself (or at least he felt like it) even tho that was the last thing he wanted and didn’t mean for that to happen to nor did he say anything tyat could cause it! When I read that part I was struck, since this is both my biggest fear and often reality when I try to help someone bc I always feel like my endless will to help often comes from guilt or insecurity, and as much as I want to help SOMEONE and not me, I guess helping also puts my mind at ease. Oh now I’m the one ranting haha I’m sorry.. Well anyways… I just love the way you portrayed them, I know I’ve already said so but I mean it! So plwase don’t be disappointed bc theres nothing to be disappointed about! You should instead be proud! Thank u again^^ <3
