my apologies if what i’ll say is tmi or triggering but i’ve been fighting depression since more than a decade and these past few days have been really rough to me because i’ve been outed as gay against my will to one of my coworkers i had a crush on, and he reacted in such a cruel manner, i thought of ending it all. this might be stupid to say but navia has been my comfort character since her release and i’ve been reading many fics about her until i stumbled upon "one million wordless oaths" from you and devoured it in the span of a week. the fight she had with neuvillette during it concerning her safety broke my heart but seeing him being so concerned about losing her and navia unable to voice how lonely she feels when their child seems to prefer neuvillette to her hit really close to home and hyperfocusing on them was the only escapism i had and wanting to know the end of the story was the reason why i felt like i couldn’t kill myself despite contemplating it. i barely read fics outside of my navia obsession so i don’t think I’ll be reading your other works not focusing on her for now but i feel like i needed to thank you. for giving me something to look for during these very long days and to allow my favorite girl to end up happy with a man caring about her and loving her no matter what they went through. originally wanted to send this on ao3 but they asked for an email and i was afraid if it would show publicly or not.

anon, i'm so glad to hear that omwo was able to carry you through a tough time. i hope it continues to be a bright spot for you, but also that you're able to find the support you need to work through your depression. the world would be a darker place without you <3 stay strong
