    Ow it's alright, it's something that happens, sadly.

    Though I sure hope one day you regain motivation, this work is so well written and the dynamic you gave them is astonishing! I had never read anything even close to this. Like, usually in fics where Tord comes back post-"The End" either the guys forgive him but Tom doesn't and he just gradually warms up to him or something happens that suddenly changes Tom's way of seeing Tord, ooor there's no explanation as to why would Tom (and the group) instantly get over what happened. BUT HERE, OH BOY. The tension!!! The guilt and resent mashed together!!! The newfound feelings!!!! Also the fact that Edd and Matt don't even want to talk to Tord directly!!!?!?! It's complex and feels real and it's way too good, loved it so far♡♡♡

    (My only complaint though as someone with emetophobia would be that every single chapter contained at least one instance of vomiting, which wasn't pleasant to push through but I did nonetheless just because I didn't want to miss something that could be relevant, even less to leave such a good story, so kind of props to you on getting me to read detailed depictions of throwing up but also please don't do that again, thank you ;v;♡)

    Oh and I'll definitely be looking into those other fics of yours!! Expect my kudos soon!!! Take care♡♡♡

      All right! You are so so sweet! Thank you so much, I really wanted to try and push the status quo for these two characters and their standard relationship that a lot of people set up, and I just kind of thought an office and you would be super cute.

      Originally this was going to go in a very different direction, but when I write I normally write on the spot and not with too much planning ahead, so the consequences of that it’s just whatever I’m in the mood for. Originally it was going to be a lot more at the gas station and seeing towards life from there, but that’s just isn’t how it went.

      I’m really sorry about the vomiting scenes, I’ll be sure to account for more trigger warnings in my authors notes before the chapter if I pick this up again! Thanks again for all your positive and supporting words, it really does make that much of a difference to the writers!

      I love love love this ship so much and toward is 100% my top one comfort character, and I absolutely adore making fanfic for them, however the lack of support isn’t very encouraging, so these comments make it so much worth it! I’ll definitely try and see if I can get back into it, I know I have a half written chapter in my documents somewhere,
