I've said it on other platforms (& to anyone who will listen) but it deserves to live here as well.

Wolfbird by OpalApparition (@opal-apparition) on AO3 is the kind of fic that breaks containment and ends up getting picked up by someone important to be reworked outside of the original IP & published. Like legit.

And it would deserve it.

The writing is honestly so fucking stunning and engaging and just beautiful. I'm not usually into AU fics and I rarely fuck with WIPs but this fic is honestly perfection and I'm so excited to one day be able to say that I read it as it came out chapter by chapter on AO3 after it gets picked up and becomes something big.

My love letter to Wolfbird.

I'm not trying to be dramatic when I say this but I've been depressed for the last few days and after giving it some thought I think I miss the version of Shane and ilya in Wolfbird so much that it feels like I miss a friend and I think that's fucked up and I should talk to my therapist Abt it. But it tells me that @opal-apparition is such a good writer that I'm literally experiencing grief over these written depictions of fictional characters. I feel like a simp but dear opal I hope u know how much ur writing has affected my life. And I swear I'm not trying to be dramatic but I really resonated with the way you wrote ilya and esp the homophobic ethnic family and the way he interacts with them bc I was getting war flashbacks u have literally nailed it. HOW on EARTH could anyone dislike your writing??? I see u queen and I need you to know Wolfbird has consumed my thoughts for days now.

I don't know the author of Wolfbird, and I don't want them to feel anything but at peace.

But if it at all helps, I hope they know there are people mourning access to their fic like they're missing a real person.

(And also that it is an incomparable work. If you took it down to tweak into something you can publish for reals, drop the pre-order links in the #heated rivalry tag, bby. We won't question, we won't even speak 🤐)

I keep forgetting to post this. I saw @opal-apparition’s fic Wolfbird mentioned in the top comments of an SNL TikTok on Sunday. Seeing ao3 mentions in the wild is crazy!
