Thoughts on If You Are Prepared?

Oh my lorddddd. My primary thoughts are "ouch" and "I like to pretend it doesn't exist." In a good way, actually?

If You Are Prepared is great. It really, truly is. But I can only stomach reading it like...once a decade. Cybele did something really special, and truly excellent with that series.

On the last installment of If You Are Prepared and No. I. Am. Not. Three years ago I finished that story and a piece of my soul was torn out and repeatedly stomped on. Am I a masochist to once again endure that fresh hell? Yes I am, because reading it, I am reminded how utterly beautiful it was written and I shall continue on...(my poor sons)

How To Handle Your Emotions After Reading If You Are Prepared Cycle by Cybele - A Guide: 

When I first joined the Snarry fandom I saw this fic being recommended everywhere, but I read how it was super angsty with Major Character Death warning and I was like nu-huh huntyyyyyy I ain’t gon do that to myself. 

I gave in after a while and read that fic in 2015. And after I finished it, I cried so much. So fuking much. I cried more than I ever had in my entire life, which is insane because it’s just a story and I’ve been through much worse in real life. I finished that fic at 6 am on a beautiful July morning, and then I wrote to my friend, calling her every foul thing I could think of because she was the one who insisted I read it. I am probably never going to read it again, because just thinking about the last few lines of that fic makes my chest ache. The thing is, this fic would’ve never been written in this day and age, and we all know why. Calling it problematic would be an understatement. But fuckinng hell if it isn’t one of the best fics I have ever read, and I’ve read hundreds of thousands. It’s a Snarry classic for a reason. Kudos to you for being able to read it again.

IYAP is all over the snarry tag

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ALLLL THE FEELS I HAVE FOR THAT STORY

No really, I've never been able to finish it. IYAP is genuinely the only story in the world I just could not finish because of ALL THE FEELS and it's so wonderfully written but I can't get through a single chapter without crying argh it's so perfect and so sad I just end up crying every time. I still hope to read the whole thing someday but for now I'm still all ACK ALL THE FEEEELS-y.
