not this fic having derek decide to stay de-aged because he doesnt want the memories and trauma of anything post-fire and he doesn't want to be his older self again bc "that guy sounds like a miserable dick" and "he was scared to be with you and i dont want to be that again" like bitch

congrats. you took like.. at minimum half of what makes derek himself and erased it, while making laura the real villain alongside kate, which okay whatever, but also while making derek's involvement not A Big Deal. i mean thanks for being really on point about what kate did to derek, making stiles understanding and defensive and protective about it, but you kinda undid some key pieces of the plot

derek is derek because he's gone through derek things

if you take those things away, brother, that is a different character. taking away even half the things changes him

i get wanting to keep your blorbo from experiencing pain but this isn't it

Tfw you want to write but 1. you suck at writing action scenes in English (or Italian, for what it matters) and 2. you are at work so you shouldn't, like, even open this drabble draft at all

I'm getting stuck on how to format the dialogue in this thing...

This thing i am trying to write is basically that one scene in Venom Inc only this time Flash and Eddie are sitting at a table and being civil to each other, and yet somehow the angst is up to eleven all the same.

The tags!!!! On AO3!!! Are not meant for commentary!!!!!!!! Especially not inane “witty” thoughts that take up so much height I have to scroll to see the next fic down!!!!!!!!!!

Doubly so if your fic is!!!! A chat fic!!!!! (The most annoying kind of fic!!)
