Forgive if this is not an appropriate question and you don't have to answer, but are you guys still working on this one or is it abandoned? (No hate either way)

No worries!

Short answer: No, not abandoned.

Long answer: Still not abandoned but more like a hiatus? Due to IRL issues, neither Frej or I have had much spare time to even see each other, let alone write together. However, this verse is still very near and dear to us. We did plan out the entire thing, but obviously the later installments are significantly more involved than the early installments, and therefore take more time and energy. And fingers crossed our IRL situation should be allowing more writing soon.

So yes, you will (eventually) see the rest of mirror verse!

If courage isn’t the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isn’t the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it

[oncemylove-deactivated20180625]

this is beautiful

[randomslasher]

By this same token, maybe goodness isn’t the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to your moral ideals in spite of them. 

[ificannotfly]

I love this.

[bisexualpunk]

love parallels in media. they just make me feral. love blatantly intentional ones. love parallels that i don’t catch until i’m watching/reading it for the 800th time. love when someone else points out an absolutely insane, heart wrenching one. gotta be my favorite part of deeply loving and knowing a piece of media, especially a tv show

“he’s my comfort character!” then comfort him, he’s drowning in an indescribable emptiness right about now

[ruffboi-mags]

Valid and also SAME.

[themorethingschange]

are you doing the ask game you reblogged?

if so id like to ask about The Things We’ve Been Dying to Tell You

-7

Oh, for that one, it’s definitely the scene where Remus assigns Logan the color indigo, it’s one of our favorite things to call back to.

And sure, we love an ask game!

[hollyethecurious]

New Ask game. Send me one of my fic titles and I’ll tell which was THAT SCENE for that fic.

Reader Appreciation

I’ve been seeing a lot of amazing posts lately thanking fanfic writers for that good, good content that we’re all disappearing into right now. And I love these posts, and FUCK YES, the healing power of art during these rough times, it can’t be said enough. But I feel like there’s something missing from these posts, and that’s the readers.

A lovely friend of mine recently shared something with the caveat that they “contribute basically nothing to fandom” and I was fucking floored. Like. This person has made playlists for fic, and shared art, and reached out to me to talk about my stories and other stories and like - that is the Work. They made me feel like my shitty writing was good enough to share, and that made me write more, and connected me with more people, and that sort of contribution doesn’t get acknowledged enough. I don’t write fiction because I have to, or for the likes or hits or whatever; I write it because I have a story I want to tell. On the days when my brain is cooperating, writing is a pleasure. On the days when my brain isn’t cooperating, comments from readers make my words feel meaningful anyway. This isn’t a one-way street, a producer/consumer situation. Or at least, it doesn’t feel like that to me.  And my best writing has been done when people are holding me accountable, or are pushing me to do better and I’m so grateful for that. And so grateful for you.

So. To the readers who comment on every chapter. To the readers who leave thoughtful essays in the comments and the readers who leave 😭❤️😱 or keysmashes. To the readers who are inspired for the first time to make art or write something themselves. To the readers who leave kudos. To the readers too anxious to comment (I’ve been there, sat in a space where I had no idea how to express how a story made me feel) and the fandom ghosts who dip in and read and vanish.

To readers who like or reblog or share or rec or send messages or don’t do any of these things.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for building this community.

Thank you for reading.
