    I mean GOOD GOD RACHEL. Can you let us live? I’m just trying to live my life you don’t have to SHAKE ME TO MY CORE.

    I will live my entire life and still not understand how you just GET both Stiles Stilinski and Lydia Martin. Reading them as you write them is the most natural thing in the world. And it’s so much more than you just understanding them as individuals. Which you DO. my god you do. You understand how they feel about each other. More than any other writer I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. The way you talk about them loving each other is just ‘yes’ ‘yes yes yes’ you GET IT. I’m in awe. I’m always in awe Rachel. This is art. I love you so.

    My big glaring complaint is that the nickname ‘lyds’ was not used at all and it kinda feels like a personal attack

    I will be compiling a twitter thread of moments that spoke to my soul bc I can’t type them all here.

      I cannot let you live, I must continue to torture you for science.

      OKAY CAN I EMBROIDER THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH ONTO A PILLOW AND CRY INTO IT AT NIGHT AS I FALL ASLEEP? "Reading them as you write them is the most natural thing in the world." THERE'S A LUMP IN MY THROAT, YOU TWO BIT WHORE! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT, WHAT THE HELL ON A STICK!!! What.

      Thank you for thinking my fic is art, and for believing in the way I write them. I really try to get into their heads and push out the feelings that they have when they're loving each other. Most of this (if not all?) was head canon stuff, so I tried hard to inspire that 'yes yes yes' reaction.

      I DON'T THINK HE CALLS HER 'LYDS' YET! I know this is lowkey established relationship but I don't think 'Lyds' comes until later, when they've spent some time doing homework together and texting too much and falling asleep together a lot and talking on the phone at night if they can't. So 'Lyds' happens for sure BEFORE he leaves for D.C. but AFTER this fic. *nods knowingly*
