I just want you to know that there are literally no words I can think of in the entire English language to describe how much I love "A Long and Slow Recovery" and that it legitimately probably one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read, and it is in my top 3 favourite fanfics ever (and trust me, I have 531 fics bookmarked on AO3, plus hundreds more that I've read, so I have read a LOT of good fanfic out there, but ALASR breaks me and puts me back together so beautifully that there was no way it wouldn't be in my top 3).
You have beautiful prose and you are able to manipulate words so heart-wrenchingly good that it leaves me astounded every time I go to reread it because I'm shocked at how you consistently write so beautifully and emotionally. I constantly think about this fic, and it has heavily influenced my own writing for the better (for example, because of your fic, I've started writing Hua Cheng referring to Xie Lian with "You" rather than "you" because it is such a simple yet heavily meaningful way to express Hua Cheng's devotion to and love for Xie Lian). Your sense of humor is spot on, and you write Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's love so emotionally that I can feel their devotion and love and adoration for each other.
You are an amazing writer, and when/if you update the fic I will be the happiest man alive, but always make sure to take care of yourself and don't feel pressured to update it if you can't, whether from writer's block or being busy or whatever else; trying to update it when you aren't in the mindspace for it means that it won't be as good as you'll want it, which won't be enjoyable for us or you. Update it whenever you feel ready, and try to take good care of yourself. Make sure to drink water, eat good food, get good sleep, and not overwork or overstress yourself when you can. I hope you have a wonderful day, you amazing human being 🫶 okay bye *runs away and trips and falls flat on my face*
Thank you SO MUCH OMG??? 💕😭💕 This is so sweet????? I'm so glad you're enjoying my writing! I've definitely been having writer's block and my life has gotten a lot busier this past year, but I promise I'm still working on my fics! Please take care of yourself too and have a great week!!!
