Hello!!! Hope you are doing well 😊 I love reading about Naoya & Gojo, even thought is a rare pair and there isn't much fics of them both, I'm so glad I ran into your work!! It's wonderful and delicious and all the good things in the world😊

When it comes to angst and/or dead dove themes in fics I'm down for it anytime anywhere anyhow BUT something that it's happening to me since I started Garden Triptych is that I have to catch a lot of breaks while reading because the angst sometimes gets so overwhelming🫠 but please don't take this as a criticism, it's a compliment.

The skill and dedication it takes to be able to evoke that type of emotions in your reader I think that talks LEAGUES about your talent as a writer!! I wanted to ask you, does writing angst themes takes a toll on you sometimes?? Or is it like a therapy for you??
Thanks for sharing your work Cateil!! ❤️

Hello!! Thank you so much, that's so sweet of you <3 and oh not a criticism at all, no worries! Garden is a heavy and dark story, there's a lot going on, a lot of suffering and heartbreak and trauma (poor Nao...poor Toji ;-;), you're totally valid for taking breaks.

Omg you flatter me <33 Angst doesn't really affect me in that way? It's just what I enjoy writing, especially since there's a lot of room for character development through angst. I love putting my faves through the wringer to see how they'll react, and how they'll grow from there ^^ I guess it could be considered like therapy? But also I'm just a goblin who writes a lot! I don't know what I'd be writing if not angst, perhaps more smut I suppose, but I feel like the two kinda go hand in hand- the porn is more fun when they're also a little tormented (or very tormented, cough*Garden*cough) over their feelings, haha.

Thank YOU for this lovely message, I saw it first thing when I woke up and it made me smile <3 I hope you have an amazing day!
