Omg you're the Background Noise author? Fucking loved that fic. I think about it so often. I usually hate 2nd person literature, but 2nd person was absolutely perfect for that fic, and you pulled it off so well that I want to write a 2nd person Knifecrow fic now. Once I realized the Heart/Jessamine was the narrator (probably should've figured that out before the 4th to last line, but in my defense, I first read it at like 4 am), I had to reread the whole thing over again with that knowledge, and I've reread it like 5 times since ngl. And that's coming from someone who usually turns away from fics with watersports + the dog dream thing (though I skip the dog paragraph LMAO).
"He has brought you low" and then the paragraph break before "He will bring you down farther" gets me every time <3 11/10 excellent fic, your writing style is just marvelous, and it's absolutely perfect for them
CLUTCHING MY HEART?? BABBLING INCOHERENT NOISES???
okay first of all you're the first person who told me you had to figure out that it was jess talking and i am SOOOOOOOOO FUCKING HAPPY ABOUT THIS LISTEN. LISTEN!!! THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT!!! YES!!! YOU EXPERIENCED IT LIKE I HOPED SOMEONE WOULD EXPERIENCE IT!!!! it does not matter it took you until the end to realize i am so glad it happened i thought the tags would make it too obvious but you lived it like that and ahhhhhhhhh
delighted on all points!! that you enjoyed the second person narrative despite your aversion to it!! that you tried it out despite the watersports and the dog dream!! that you reread it so many times!! YEEEEEEEEEE
