hi anon. im not gonna post this to twt bc i'm not a drama starter, but if it's only one fic out of 37 (after checking their ao3) and hasn't been a recurring thing, then i would assume it's a one-off time and used as a coping mechanism. i'm not going to police who my moots follow and want to be friends with (unless they're a sasaeng or bully), but if you have an issue with this fic in particular and it bothers you or if there were no trigger warnings and it's a trigger, i would bring it up to op directly and settle things 🩷 i've never interacted with the author in question personally, but from my understanding they're very kind and understanding
