I’ve been DROWNING this entire weekend (will be till Sun) studying and trying to plan for a film shoot but finding your continuation for Tools of the Trade just washed all the stress away from the past few days. I am so unbelievably pleased and giddy rn - that was an ABSOLUTE GREAT READ. I love that you included some not great moments btwn them bc it shows the realness of their relationship. Also lol Lena would choose to suggest they elope at the Fucking OSCARS (the IG post at the end? 😭😩👌🏽
ALSO. I knew there was gonna be a pic attached at the end bc the page on AO3 kept moving while I was ready and honestly the second I saw it I immediately melted and became one w the bed. The pic of Lena? Cute af. The caption Kara used?? Cute AF. The fact that Kara said she was right earlier in the fic??? ALSKDJLSND CUTE AS FUCK SERIOUSLY BLESS UP FOR WRITING THIS AND ALSO FOR YOUR EXISTENCE
This ask made me so happy that I had to walk away and leave it before I spewed all kinds of gross thanks and adoration at you.
I’m so very glad you enjoyed it! I’m also very thankful it was good enough to hold you above the tide that is schoolwork for a little while. I love fics that do that! It turns out that I actually really like this little AU and writing it. Relationships are hard, but there are (supposed to be) far more good times than bad times, and even though they argue and bicker and not everything is great all the time, I still wanted to make it clear that they love each other and they’re willing to make it work.
I’m very sorry about the wiggly screen. I tried downsizing the image a few times, but I’m not sure it helped, exactly.
