OH. MY. GODDESS. wher do I even START?!?? This storie had me gripping my phone like it was a lifline and screamin into my pillow every five minutes!! It’s givving emotional devestation but like, in the BEST way possible???? loving this angst!

First offf the way you dropped us right into that pure panic moment with the CDT stickk??? i was imediately sweating. swear my heart was racin like I was the one standing there, ugly cryin on the bathroom floor. And the wayy you described her wholeee mental spiral?? Babe, I FELT that. Like, helloo?? Googling “false positive CDT” like as if she was looking up something about her period and diagnosing herself via google?? Relatable content fr 🫠.

And THEN the family stufff??? Ugh, it hurt in that very spesific way only family disapointment can. I wanted to jump into the storie, snatch her mom’s phone and yeet it into the sun. Like ma’am??? HUG. YOUR. CHILD. YOU. COLD. BISSSSHHHH!!! 🥲🥲

But also THE DOCTORRR??? pls pedros character has no right being that much of a walking contradction. Like sir can you not be terrifying and weirdly comforting at the same time?? It’s confusing for my emotion?? (Also… am I suposed to be blushingg at a medical exam?? Because I was. no thought, just “Is he gonna fuck her? ohh shit theyre gonna fuckk and her moms just outside 😳😳.”)

The way every little smell and feeling was sooooo detailed that I could literally taste the sterile hospital air and feel the awful cold chair under my butt?? REAL AF (i suffer with chronic shit so i am there often).

AND GURL the breakdownn when she’s begging her mom at the hospital door?? SOBBING. no joke. legit tears. I was ready to assemble an army of feral besties to storm that hospital and rescue her myself, hair up, earrings off. 🫡

The writing just hit so hard like, it’s so like painfully real (i mean i do have a crush on a nurse at my local clinic, he fine af). You made the whole "struggling against who the world says you gotta be" thing feel so personal And her messy thoughts being all over the place?? Chef’s kissss mwuah!💋

pls if I had one lil wish?? Maybe just like, a teensy bit more breathin room between the angst, like throw the girl (and us!!!) a cupcake and a warm puppie for 2 secs to recover before BAM more angst. again i love the angst but jesus have mercy, gimme some fluff or something soon, y/n needs it!

but honestly??? i devoured thiss. 10/10 emotional damage. Would cry and scream again. pls write more immediatelyyy or i will simply perish 🫶✨✨

Hi Lady Bug 🥹🐞

OMG 🥹🥹 I don’t even know where to start with this comment!! I’m grinning like a fool and lowkey tearing up reading it. THANK YOU for taking the time to write all this 💖💕💞

You got every single thing I was hoping readers would feel, and honestly? Hearing that you were gripping your phone and screaming into a pillow??? Peak life goals right there. Also cackling at the “googling false positive CDT” bit because that was 100% the vibe I was aiming for, like ahhhhh me too cause I self diagnose on google often 🤭

The fact that you wanted to yeet her mother's phone into the sun lmfao.

Yeppp I might need you on speed dial for future feral bestie army raids because Y/N needs all the backup she can get 😭

AND THE DOCTOR LMAO. I swear, Pedro’s character wasn’t supposed to be that much of a menace but he just insisted on being both terrifying and weirdly soft and confusing. I love writing soft but secretly twisted men

Also, you asking for a cupcake and a puppy between the angst??? Noted. Very fair. I can't promise there’s gonna be the fluff you might be seeking ...but let's see how you go fren.

Anyway, I’m just 🥹 overwhelmed in the best way. Your support and these reactions mean the world. I’m definitely working on more, so pls don’t perish!! More chaos and maybe a sprinkle of fluff incoming soon 🫡💖

about the dog days are over

LOVE:

💜 The Vibes™ Tall, brooding, smells expensive, has that calm Alpha dominance without being a complete jerk?? LIKE HELLO?? You know he could ruin your whole life with one look but instead he’s out here asking, “Are you okay? Can I get you a cup of water?” SIR.

💜 Professional but NOT cold💜He knows the power dynamic but doesn’t weaponize it. He’s not out here flexing his Alpha status just to make her small. He’s respectful even when she’s spiralling. (And let’s be honest, she’s spiralling HARD.)

💜 The secret softie energy💜Like the way he’s gentle when she’s having a literal meltdown?? The hand on the back? The good girl moment??? (Girl, I am not okay.) He’s terrifying in a way that's weirdly comforting. That man would definitely hold your hair back while you’re crying in a McDonald’s bathroom at 2 AM and not judge you once.

💜 Low-key Rebel Energy💜The way he challenges the mom with, “Is there something wrong with being an Omega?” LIKE SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE BACK ROW. He’s giving “I’m in the system but not OF the system” and I live for that.

HATE (that I love it):

💜Too Calm💜Like SIR. SOME OF US ARE HAVING A LIFE-ENDING EMOTIONAL CRISIS. Could you at least pretend to be a little bit more panicked?? She’s over here dissolving into tears and you’re just raising one eyebrow. GIVE ME SOME URGENCY, KING.

💜 That “Good girl” Moment💜NO BECAUSE LISTEN. I love it too much. It’s rude. It’s emotional manipulation at this point. He KNOWS what that does to her Omega instincts and he just drops it like a casual comment while she’s clinging to her last shred of sanity??? The power he holds is dangerous.

💜The Sedative Scene💜I GET IT. I do. She was being feral. But sedating her??? Sir, there has to be a slightly less dramatic option than injecting a crying girl. Like idk, maybe try a blanket and a cookie FIRST???

💜Too Mysterious💜Like what’s his deal?? Why does he have big “I’m hiding a tragic backstory” energy?? Sir blink twice if you’re secretly running an underground Omega rights movement.

In Conclusion: Doctor Castillo is 90% comforting, 10% terrifying, and 100% the reason I’m both kicking my feet and screaming into a pillow. I love him. I hate him. I trust him with my life. I would absolutely cry if he raised his voice at me once.

💜Would die for him but also would definitely text my friends, “He’s toxic but like... in a healing way?”💜

-💜💜💜

💜💜💜 anon STOP. This comment?? Has me kicking my feet and screaming into my pillow. I gotta say, the the way you get Doctor Castillo at a molecular level is actually terrifying.

The “expensive smell” and calm but not cold Alpha dominance?? YES. He’s not trying to crush her — he’s trying to anchor her. And you’re right: man’s definitely the type to hold your hair back at 2 AM in a McDonald’s bathroom, no questions asked. 🍟🫶 Or... Stand and watch you, talking you through it.

Also the way you clocked the low-key rebel energy with “I’m in the system but not OF the system” chef’s kiss. 👨‍🍳💋

Now onto your hate that you love it list TOO ACCURATE. The eyebrow raise when she’s fully combusting??? The “good girl” drop like it’s casual conversational fodder??? I’m SCREAMING. It’s criminally rude. He knows what he’s doing. 🚨

And you’re right about the sedative scene like doctor, have you tried a cookie and a weighted blanket first??? But noooo, he had to go full dramatic Alpha problem-solver mode.

Also 👀 on the tragic backstory energy let’s just say… you might want to keep an eye on that. Blink twice indeed.

Anyway, your conclusion is flawless comforting, terrifying, dangerously soothing toxic but healing king energy. 🫡 Thank you for this masterpiece of a breakdown. I’m honored you love/hate/love-hate him as much as I do.

seeing tddao earn just as many kudos as one of my works for a much bigger fandom is genuinely so heartwarming 🥹 really makes me feel like i’m cooking with this one! i genuinely never expected any of my persona fics to hit the same heights as my gomens fics but honestly it means so much more coming from a fandom that is considerably smaller <333

chapter 5 may not come out until next week, since i don’t have a lot of time to write on weekends due to my job, and this one’s a bit more slow going than previous ones…it’s at just under 3k words right now and i’m hoping progress will pick up a little once i’m another thousand or so in. the issue with ending on a cliffhanger….starting the chapter with such a major and intense scene leads to a fear of imperfection that makes me write at a snail’s pace 😔

but it is coming!!! and i hope its good enough to be worth the wait :D
