one fic that i think deserves more buzz (like, it does have a lot of kudos, but i never really see anyone talking about it) is 'happy birthday, you' by wrappedup.
by far one of the best friends to lovers i've ever read. the love they feel for each other is the kind that crawls into your bones and organs and becomes this thing that hurts to even breathe. so beautiful you catch yourself thinking 'oh god, is this kind of love even possible?'
so good, so painfully beautiful. a lasting, longing, essential love type of thing.
so yeah, i think people are sleeping on it.
