My brain recently latched onto Resident Evil (specifically re7/8 since 7 was my first exposure to the series) and while I did sympathise with Eveline and did like when it was acknowledged that she was just a messed up kid, I wasn't particularly interested in reading redemption comics/fics for her or stuff where she survives
Until I read your fic. I am now an Eveline Apologist and I thank you for that :'3
Seriously I started looking for fics for the series after having my interest piqued by one, but a lot of the fics like to portray Eveline as just a monster and Mia as abusive and awful to make anyone they ship Ethan with instead look good in comparison and just ughhhhhh, so when I read your fic your nuanced portrayals of the two had me going _"Yes! Finally!"_
So thank you, love your fic and the characters in it, can't wait to see how all the character dynamics develop, but also take as much time as you need/want :>
Ahaha... I consider it my life's work to convert people over to Eveline Apologism, so I'm very glad! Thank you for giving my fic a shot. <3
I do find a lot of fanfic in the RE fandom doesn't bring the nuance to characters I would like it to--there's a lot of works out there exploring the Lords of RE8, but less work on RE7 in general, and very little that tries to tackle both writing Eveline sympathetically and Mia humanely. I wanted to take a crack at it, and I'm glad I'm delivering.
