Are we ever gonna see fluff in the eating series? That sounds like a ridiculous question given everythinggggg. But I don’t know- seeing a softer side of Riara in this fic would be a real treat.

(I love your workkk gurl.) and I’ll be here when you’re published.

not ridiculous at all, and yes! probably not like toothachey overly sentimental fluff, but they will definitely have softer moments coming up where they make each other laugh or accidentally slip into moments of domesticity that feel intimate and disorienting. them officially pairing up to find out who's behind the mercs and what's going on with the Pogues is just naturally going to lead to more everyday, human interactions and familiarity between them, and that'll starting changing the way they navigate each other. and there will definitely be a handful of moments that feel unnervingly affectionate, potentially even one in this upcoming chapter (if I go that route).

and gah, you're too kind, thank you, babe!

For the first few days, he lets her avoid him. He caught her in a moment of critical exposure. He found her raw and spread in half on a bathroom floor. The rationalist in him understands that. The problem is, the addict in him doesn't. The addict in him reproduces in scarcity. It sprawls out like a body in the negative space. It grows a small limb every time she walks by without looking at him, rife with unfed veins. | fic

Ugh girl I'm so excited for the new Eating series chapter!! Ik we're not there yet but the way you've pretty much confirmed that it's going to be a complete shit show when the pogues are back 😂 yesss I am living for the drama and for riaraaa 🙉🫦🫦

me too! def no pogues quite yet but their role in the plot is going to become more central now that the mercs aren't some nebulous threat anymore. Rafe and Kie have kind of been ignoring all that because they've been so caught up in their mutilationship at tannyhill, but the external world's def about to start pressing down harder. this also means I'm going to be forced to figure out what the hell happened at the end of season four bc I was watching for the vibes at that point. blue crown something something? blackbeard? JJ has a secret dad who kills him idk

eating, my love i’m STARRRRRRVING, do you have any inkling for when the new chapter will drop? or a little tease of what we can expect, i have your notifs on and i tweak everytime i see “darwinquark has updated…”, love you 💋

ahhh you guys are too nice to me omg, I'm sorry I've been the worst. I'm on a busy rotation for the next two weeks so unclear how much writing I'll be able to get done but eating should def be what's up next. part of the delay is I haven't been able to conceptualize the whole chapter in my head (there are a lot of different directions I can see things going) vs. I know exactly where the pitt fic is going and what scenes are coming next, but usually I can solve that by just buckling down and writing without a plan lol. but I wrote some eating today! I might do the thing where I write the ending first so I know what to build toward and get impatient about it sitting in my word documents unread lol

but it's coming! it's been long enough! it's also really funny going from Langdon to Rafe lol like somehow the diagnosed addict is 6000x more in control than whatever this is

first of all, obsessed with your frankmira fic. truly. their dynamic is absolutely delicious in it and i read the latest update with my fist in my mouth. her using his entire face? his eyelashes all wet and clumped? insane stuff. second of all, i saw you mentioned you have a more wholesome ending planned and was just curious if you were open to sharing more on that? they're wonderfully toxic right now but i'm eager to see how you'll flip that around.

lmfaooooo I'm so glad you found the sticky eyelashes as grotesquely hot as I did - I just pictured him having an absolute glazed donut of a face after she was done with him. basically a dermabrasion and a deep hydration treatment all in one (keeps him pretty)

re: the wholesome ending, maybe wholesome isn't the right word? more like feelsy or romantic by comparison, I think. right now they're pretty toxic and 100% using each other as sinks for their respective pathologies, so even though they're both seeing very raw and rare sides of each other (and there's definitely an intimacy in that), it's still very physical. they haven't really formed a connection beyond it, even though they have three years of history and mutual abandonment issues with the same mentor figure. the next chapter (if I stay on track lol) is definitely going to show them settling into that physical connection and even getting more reckless with it, but the second half of the chapter is going to throw a wrench in their routine that forces them to move things out of the hospital, and I'd say that's where they (kind of accidentally) start getting to actually know each other. there's a difference between rough sex in anonymous supply rooms/hospital bathrooms and a hypercurious man invading your personal space and picking through all your things like an ADHD biographer that asks a lot of annoying and unintentionally exposing questions.

so that'll be the shift, and it'll basically dimensionalize them more to each other and let some of their lighter/more vulnerable sides come to light. we'll see if I can actually keep it to two chapters or not lmao. but in any case, thanks so much for reading and so happy you're enjoying it!

chapter 3/5: do not intubate rating: explicit word count: 9k warnings: many tbh the kids are not alright

“Was that all?” “Yeah.” He keeps staring at her. “Yeah, I guess so.” A large cart rumbles across the end of the hallway. She turns to leave but he shifts forward, arm shooting up to block her exit. “Actually, no.” She turns back to him. He’s closer now, a wall of warmth, arm barred against the wall. His face is different; impulsive, less polite. “Because it was working. I know it was working.” His eyes shift down. “I felt it working.” Her lashes flicker. For the first time since they started talking, she feels the full intimacy of where his fingers have been.
