awww it's over already :( I was secretly still holding out for zombies LOL

I liked this, although I feel like I wanted something more from it - probably I just wanted it to be longer lol. Any excuse to read more of your writing! I liked all the side characters and the thrill of the action sequences and homin's moral dilemmas and taking down the professor at the end, that was super exciting and awesome. And I love the subtlety of their relationship, nothing too overt or in-your-face. Seriously great job! :3

probably an NC-17 scene I TOLD YOU I'M SORRY

lmao but I actually had a v serious talk with a friend about the possibility of adding zombies after you commented and the significance of the conflict why are you doing this to me tea

and I kinda get what you mean, this feels like such a ...restrained fic, even for me. like there's just pieces missing. but it was either post it or spend another year obsessing over it ahahaha IT'S DONE AND ...now I can rewrite it 34809342 times. maybe with zombies.

thank you my friend tea for ensuring that I will never be able to let this one die until it's twice the length and twice the UST.

Omg nooo I didn't mean to imply that it felt lacking or unfinished somehow - it's just that you created such a rich world and there was all this great build-up at the beginning that it made the ending feel a little, like you said, restrained. But I think it works with your style of writing.

Y'know in my experience I find that if I tinker too much with a piece and overanalyse it I just end up making it worse and hating it in the end. My favorite fics are the ones I make the least changes to from conception to editing because they end up being the most organic. So maybe just let this one go?

You could always start a fresh zombie au :3 Although tbh I'm like....70% certain I'm going to end up writing it because the idea just won't leave me alone.

Completely agree! That's why short stories can be way more fun to write, cause you know...it's like a quick, solid idea that just carries an idea so beautifully. I think I tried to write this like a short story and end up eating dirt. so I'm leaving it for now to play around with ghost boyfriends and carnivorous hotels, y'know, the easy stuff.

um. about that zombie au...can you be coerced to like, 90% certainty? maybe 110%? PLEASE WRITE IT

only you could make the prospect of ghost boyfriends and carnivorous hotels sound appealing

lol I'll probably do it at some point, I just need to get in the right headspace for it because it's going to be all dark and gory...plus the plot I'm thinking of is lifted almost entirely from The Last of Us and I'm not sure how I feel about that in terms of originality. We'll see. I think I need a little break after Keep the Change before I get into something long again |D
