to haunt a heart

by etherealbliss | 110k

A high-profile double homicide in the quiet, small town of Ashford, WA sends shockwaves through the public. Louis, the lead detective assigned to the case, is headstrong, earnest, and desperate to prove himself. Harry, the widow of one of the victims, is insufferably rich, wears far too many vintage dressing gowns, and is desperate to prove he’s not guilty.

Their desperation unexpectedly blossoms into something beautiful behind closed doors, amidst the ticking time bomb of a slowly unravelling mystery that the two soon find themselves deeply entwined in.

“I would do anything for you. I would do anything.”

“Stop,” Harry whispers.

hi dear, hope you’re doing alright. :) i’m the no.1 fan and i could easily dm you this but i wanted everyone else to know that.. I LITERALLY WANNA TATTOO EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THAH ON MY SKIN. honestly.. what the actual fuck?! ugh i loved it so so so much i don’t even know how to put it into words. i finished it last night, and woke with such a longing feeling tightening my chest and the urge to sob my heart out because now that it’s done, i don’t even know what to do w myself. :( i can ramble on and on about the beauty of the storyline, characterization and ohhh how you actually improved a lot more in writing an awesome plot which made me —who read every single of your works— really really proud!! but now, i just wanna thank you for gifting us this stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, mind-blowing, dazzling, heart-cracking fic. i just know that i’m gunna think about it for a long long long time because it really did haunt my soul and built a home in my heart. :’) it was so so worth the wait and darling, you've outdone yourself! thank you. thank you. thank you.

literally gonna cry i don’t even know what to say thank you so much!!!!!!

with this fic i was just so determined to reflect on past criticisms of my writing and take them in stride and improve so to hear that the improvement is discernible means so much!

at the same time i feel like i poured so much of myself into this piece (especially in the emotional scenes) so the first few days after posting i was walking around with an imminent sense of anxiety and dread. LOL

but the reception has just been insane. i’ve never felt overwhelmed like this before. thank you for all the love i appreciate it so much you don’t even know
