do u have any plan in mind for angst gyubrik

i have!!! so!! many!!!! but first: i consider angst a spectrum, so we have stuff that makes your heart twinge just the slightest and then on the other end stuff that makes you full-on bawl. i’m speaking in generalisations bcs sometimes fics incorporate any number of magnitudes of angst, as do i in my own (hopefully…at least).

the fic i’m working on rn (and which should be out soon!!??!!!) would fall somewhere in the comfortable middle. it’s not outright heartbreaking but hopefully you’ll feel a couple tugs here and there. i’m aiming for less sadness in the conventional sense and more so of melancholy/wistfulness/bittersweet with less emphasis on the bitter.

another fic i’ve been working on should be full-blown angst. like i want it to be the kind that makes me tear up even as i’m writing it. but it’s currently on pause bcs there’s so much i want to pack into it that i feel attempting to rush it is doing it a disservice. i will def get around to it soon bcs i love it so much and i CANNOT wait for it to be out.

as for ideas still in formation/lingering in my brain, we have: amnesia and attempted time travel fix-its. sometimes ifl my ideas sorta overlap (…which i dislike bcs i would rather not write the same thing in different fonts) so we shall see if anything comes out of them.

anw: thank you for the question!! it’d be great to know too if there’s any kind of angst you prefer!!!! i love writing angst sm (as one can tell…fluff is not my thing. i need Feels. i need Sadness.)
