Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
read the fic u recc’d anon out of curiosity and holy shit idk if it’s just “reading in mother tongue” things but i don’t think i was crying while reading, i was probably reading while crying. good fic destroyed me emotionally realising im not good at grief but also so many little bits of hope/wisdom i should takeaway from it
OMG HI i never actually expect someone to take my recs but yes!!! you get it!!!!
genuinely. that fic is the one thing that’s made me cry the longest… though now ig it’s second to alien stage (??)
Like im serious the first time I read that last scene with aak where thorns finally smiles i couldn’t stop crying for at least two hours. and obviously the last last scene made it worse
and that’s… really not normal for me mffjksf
which uh considering i was doing all that through google translate is a little !,?!?? ah i don’t know. it’s kind of nice that this sort of thing is functional enough that people can communicate like this isn’t it…?
but yea I really love it… the thing that got me so badly is that it’s ultimately hopeful… if it was purely depressing it wouldn’t be nearly as impactful.
and though the focus is on ely and thorns all the other characters there… i really liked ifrit’s part…
ahhh i could go on forever about this fic. thank u for hearing me out 🙏
