AND THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER RETURNS!!! welcome back authorjiiiii we missed you we were DYING without you we have been brought back to lifeeeee we are grateful that you have braved injury to give us this NOT AT ALL MEH CHAPTER (and we will stop passive aggresively asking you to rest well done on that too 😭😭❣️)
Patty my love my sweetheart welcome back I see you're drowning in your anxieties again somethings never change PLEASE CELEBRATE
"The slow lift of Kohli’s bat, not to the crowd but dedicated to Pat. Two fist bumps against the MRF sticker. A king’s response to prophets who dare doubt him." My absolute love mr Kohli glad to see you back and haunting Mr Cummins "I love you, it's ruining my life" (yeah I also realised on the 8th chapter that there were callbacks to the great war the song that is watch me make the CONSTANT parallels to ts even if they're forced)
"But that tally in Pat’s head now felt like a lie scrawled in his own blood." The drama the competition the constant urge to dominate but do it FAIRLY jsjdnndnd
"Worst of all? Kohli hadn’t even looked at him afterwards. He simply strode past Pat towards the Indian dressing room, as if he were just another ghost in his vast empire of bones or broken bowlers — both the same: interchangeable and forgettable." THE WRITING. HOW I MISSED THIS WRITING. GODDDD ITS GOOD TO HAVE IT BACKKKK and patty he was HURT both literally and emotionallyyy he's not mad at youu (I mean knowing him he's probably a little mispacedly mad)
"He probably thinks less of me now, knowing that I had him out unfairly" mr cummins I see that's what you're most worried about.... about what he thinks of you... I SEE
OKAY A LITTLE SELF AWARENESS PLZ
Paino you're not helping rn 😭😭
"Not when his victory tasted like someone else's stolen rage" Mr Cummins you care a whole lot don't you?? (Also the caring line the goddamn caring line in the last chapter 😭😭😭😭 it killed me shhdjdjs) (OH ALSO THE TENDING TO THE WOUND LINE HAHAHA I KNEW I WOULD'VE GONE FERAL AS SOON AS I SAW IT THATS WHY IT STOOD OUT)
"We both deserved better" YES YOU DO
oh my lord he wants to comfort him and he can't find the words even if he wasn't blocked 😭😭❣️ patty ily so much "not when he'd spent the last year trying to act so nonchalant about him" trying being the key word, yes pat yessssss fuck nonchalance be a chalant bitch go confess your love
"he welcomed the pain - at least it was real" omg murder me rn this is doing things to me it's making me FEEL
Marshy to the rescue yes Cummins needs the pep talk tyyyy
Yes please focus on the big picture, give yourself SOME credit it hurts to see him so down mannnnnnn
"The phantom ache of his old stress fracture twinged, as if warning him: one wrong move, and you'll be back to watching from the shadows." Oh it's about THIS right ouch ouch this hurts my heart that is genuinely so scary and sad like for cricketers especially fast bowlers - like the terror I felt when bumrah was getting treated today
"Pat nodded, resembling a frightened child." Babyyyy 💔
Yes marshyyyy we love youuuuu
