Hi, I absolutely love Lost in Translation! Even though I as an aroace person hasn't gone through the same journey as Grace, it's such a poignant look into the aroace experience. I also rarely see cultural/language misunderstandings in phm fics??? You do it so well too.

The fic is just so fun to read and I've read it. two or three time lol. I keep finding myself reading it out loud because Grace's voice is just so fun and strong.

So, I'm wondering if I could make a podfic of it? I can't promise that it would come out soon, and I'm VERY much a noob when it comes to podficcing but I just love this fic so much and it is SO much fun to read out loud.

Hello, omg!!! I'm so sorry I took so long to reply to this, my personal life has been a non-stop series of Fires and I'm currently down with some sort of plague so that's been fun 👍 But anyway, I'm so so glad you're enjoying the fic and OMG, yes ofc you can make a podfic, please feel free!! I'm so flattered, that would be so cool TYSM!! 🥰

i do need more "not platonic not romantic but a secret third thing" gracerocky fic where that, like. has actual on-page ramifications. like yes i can absolutely believe they go grace's full entire life without ever actually putting words to what they are, that makes sense that tracks that coheres. but, yknow. also. what if they did

what if a few months into the journey to erid, a few months of increasingly blurred lines and weird intimacies, grace finally makes himself Ask About Adrian. and what if rocky doesn't actually have a neat little polyamorous answer, because maybe eridians are mostly poly but what him & grace have going on does not in fact fit into any established eridian relationship types. just like it doesn't fit into any established human relationship types. they are now a culture of two!!! they aren't best friends they aren't dating they aren't eridian-queerplatonic none of those words are Enough. they want to crawl into each other's insides. grace has to look up that greek myth about being one person split into two cuz that is the closest pre-existing concept. they are uniquely singularly insane about each other. they have to invent new language.

sooooo anyone know if James Ortiz dropped his haircare routine yet. asking for a friend

I started reading lost in translation and loved it

AND THEN I read In Control and I loved it even more. Your writing is absolutely insane (in the best way)

Omg, thank you so much!!! 😭🥹 That's lovely to hear!! LOL I've heard from a few people now who've read In Control too, and I'm both delighted and not at all surprised to learn that there's significant overlap between the Murderbot and Project Hail Mary fandoms lmao

I keep seeing fics or fanart where Grace "catches a cold/flu" and Rocky has to nurse him back to health etc, and listen. I love it, it's very sweet, and I swear I'm not here to nitpick anybody's fun, but. girl, who is he catching a cold from?????? Markiplier???? Medical professionals, pls correct me if I'm wrong, but this is impossible, yes? That's like saying he 'caught smallpox.' It's gone, man. The Hail Mary is a flu-free zone. I'm not saying Grace can't get sick - obvs there's all the malnutrition, and iirc there are viruses he could have caught on Earth that often lie dormant in the body for years and resurface in times of stress, such as hepatitis or Epstein-Barr... or fuck, give him shingles. I'd love to see Grace with shingles. Please, someone, give Ryland Grace shingles

lost in translation is really good. btw. one of the first i read when getting into the tag and the aroace experience and cultural differences are written very well

Thank you so much!! 😭💖 LiT is one of the most personally vulnerable fics I've written in a long while lol, to the point that it was a little terrifying to post at first haha, but hearing just how many people are enjoying & resonating with it has been SO touching 🥹

rocky is both touched by the sentiment and disturbed by human medical practices
