hi, i won't be posting fic on my ao3 acc anymore. i've contemplated deleting/orphaning what i have up multiple times but ultimately decided against it. i'll keep it as an archive. i'm grateful, and it's served its purpose, but if/when i post fic again it will be elsewhere

fic writers in teyvat must have wild author’s notes. “sorry for the delay, stormterror crushed my house!” or “i had to postpone this chapter bc rex lapis just died & it felt inappropriate to be writing erotica while his corpse was still warm. anyway here’s 20k words of dragonfu—”

the unlikely relationship between wanderer and nahida is so dear to me. two traumatized immortals who lacked guidance in life now offering that guidance to each other. i don't think their relationship needs to be defined as 'platonic' or 'familial.' i think it just is.
