Do you think you would ever write or publish original fiction? I would def read it if you did! Your writing style is so engaging and the character work is chefs kiss

that's one hell of a flattering message, thank you???

but no, i have no intention of trying to publish professionally - for many, many reasons. but i'd be lying if i didn't say i had dreams of being an author when i was a kid... so getting this comment made the little kid in me very happy. thank you ❤️

Hello, here is another reader devastated by the beauty of your Arcane fics 🥹 (Still thinking about the hummingbirds in Recovery).

I especially admire your characterizations and story structure: Isolation is so well mapped out, with the different parts focusing on one character and not overindulging on a singular scene while still keeping its emotional value. Idk if it makes sense, but to me it keeps the story very dynamical and flowing! Also, you made me love the Mel/Vik duo even when the show gave them like 1 direct interaction, so all the kudos to you!!

As for drabble suggestions, I don't really feel like giving out a specific prompt, but I would love to see your take on some heartbreaking angst no comfort/unrequited feelings or, on the opposite hand, some straight on fluff/love confessions/touchy stuff.

Thank you for your amazing work!!! 🫂

thank you! i like what you said about not overindulging in a singular scene. i think sometimes it can work to my detriment -- like sometimes i pace things too quickly because of that desire to not linger -- but ah i'm glad it resonates with you! and maybe that means i've improved on that a bit

thank you for the drabble suggestion, i put it right into my suggestions document for later! i appreciate it! both suggestions are intriguing, hmmm. i'll think on it

thank you again for the nice words!! ❤️

[nanashi-07]

Hii!!

I saw on your last chapter of 'and reclamation' that you're taking drabble requests💖

Would you please consider drabbling about Mel, Jayce and Viktor having hobbies outside of their work? Either in canon or in your post-canon would be cool! ^^

I love your characterization of these three so much!

LOVE this idea. it's going straight into my suggestions document for later, thank youuuu ❤️

[nanashi-07]

Oooh, congratulations on wrapping up and reclamation!! Your writing made reading so enjoyable ❤️

thank you!! very kind! and i appreciate the congratulations - i bought myself a video game and some ice cream to celebrate finishing it. i am an adult

Hello!! This is bluetune from the Ao3 comments!! I found your tumblr via some banging fanart, so I figured I’d stop by and say hello! Love your fics, and hope you’re doing well :)

bluetune??? never heard of you. and i certainly don't stare at your fanart multiple times a week or anything why do you ask

HELLO i'm glad you found me here too ❤️

[nanashi-07]

I love ur fics so much they were the first ones I read when I joined the fandom recently!!

thank you!! it's exciting to think of my fics as being an early entry into the fandom for you - there's SO MANY GOOD ONES OUT THERE. welcome to a very good fandom ❤️

[nanashi-07]

the epilogue for and reclamation is now posted, which brings the fic to a close. thank you to anyone who has been reading along ❤️

Fanart for Isolation by @nanashi-07

I didn't mean for the drawing to turn out so dark, but that's what you get for only drawing at night i suppose

[nanashi-07]

projects other than planning our inevitable elaborate engagement and subsequent marriage ceremony you mean @kotonni? yes definitely. upcoming projects include 1) finally getting caught up on responding to comments on my fics and 2) begging people to give me ideas about what to write next

[nanashi-07]

Your isolation series has been simply godly. Very much in love with the characterisations, especially Mel, and Cait/Vi in the first entry, and the inner lives of Jayve and Viktor in their respective entries

aghhh wait gimme a sec

but seriously thank you. "godly" is a new one for me, and you're wild for that one, but i appreciate this message a hell of a lot. i'm so glad you like the characterizations! thank you for brightening my evening, this message is so kind 😭

I was sketching Mel when 'The Last of the Real Ones' by FOB started playing - this is how I ended up drawing them as Sun-Earth-Moon triptych

Hi! So happy i could find you here, i was sad your ao3 didnt have any social medie links! I just wanted to say i absolutely loved your writing style. It kind of gets you into the story so well you don’t even notice the writing itself. In the best way lol

It just shows you instead of telling, loved it.

yeahhh i should probably put my tumblr link back on my AO3 profile. i don't want people thinking that i'm good at social media, though. that would be a mistake

thank you for complimenting my writing! it's kind of funny for me to say "thanks for not noticing my writing" but i totally get what you mean and take it as a compliment. i have definitely read works (including... published books) where the writing style knocks you right out of the story

thank you for the message, you're very kind! a compliment means more when i had to be tracked down for it to be delivered :)

I loved the fic disjunction so much i drew my favorite scene pls read it if you haven’t !
