YEAH IKR the characterization is so good and there are a few sentences that literally made me scream a little out loud omg kdfls, like at this point we just call it "the party fic" or "THE fic" lmao.
and omg don't hold back?? i want to know your other fic recommendations- tbh it's not my main otp so i just read it bc my friend recommended it but i agree with your point about balancing each other and thus helping each other to grow!! (don't worry about the other ask, i understand bc i'm also slow at drawing but also don't feel pressured to draw anything i was mostly just brainrotting- also sorry if i act too casual even tho we're not mutuals, i just get excited ;v;)
AuuGHUGHGHG YEAHHHH i was definitely doing the giddy leg wiggle at so many points of the fic JKSFHJSDFH AND JUS TTHE IMAGE OF DRUNK RIDDLE IS SO.. CUTE IN MY MIND... IM SOBBINGSHJK DF
These are my two other reccs o//o the way you call my name and something in the blood!!! these are both post-NRC fics and I absolutely love the thoughts of how much riddle has matured past NRC and which characters he keeps in contact with, how his skills land him in diff jobs in their diff interpretations. even if youre not super into ridoace, i think these fics are still a lovely read for their characterisation of riddle!!! especially "something in the blood"!! their writing is so poetic and their attention to detail with riddles mannerisms(and how it's framed as ace being hyper aware of him) is sooo beautiful - i absolutely adore their writing ><;;; don't apologise omg!!! i appreciate it sm!! just wanted to let you know that it's totally still on my mind and that it didn't get lost!!
