Soon you'll get better is so good! One of the best fics I've ever read <3
hi sweet anon!!! thank you so much for your sweet sweet comment, it really means a lot to me!!!! 💘💘💘
when i was planning on writing the series i wanted to realistically and wholly focus on max and her character. the things she has faced starting from s2 and even up to the end of s4 is clearly traumatic yet more of her story is yet to be told / hasn't been told.
while what i write is 100% fiction, i put in all my best efforts to depict her story and life in an accurate way in terms of what she must be feeling inside.
while the series bounces between the perspectives of steve, reader, and max -- i wanted to encapsulate the idea that steve and reader are watching and encouraging max to feel better, but also taking the time to set up max's character in way that doesn't just get better in a snap of a finger...because that isn't realistic.
it isn't realistic for any mental nor physical illness.
there are moments of strength entwined with moments of weakness and i really hope i did a somewhat decent job trying to capture that in my writing.
again, im really happy you're enjoying the series and i can't wait for you to read more of it!!! 🥹🩷
