New chapter! . . . for all eight of you who may be reading this. But I really want to tell this story, even if I’m mostly flinging it into the void.

Till Human Voices Wake

An AU retelling of the latter half of the ‘The Gorge,’ in which things are not as they seem, humans suck except when they don’t, and nature always wins - dedicated to the wolves and other wildlife of Chernobyl.

Rated T

Chapter 4: Water

[websandwhiskers]

So I haven’t been on here in *mumblemumble*, but got bitten by the fic bug for a basically non-existent fandom, so here I am, starved for reviews. Anybody else see ‘The Gorge’? Anybody else feel like there was another way the second half of the movie might have gone that would have been more interesting and topical and all that?

Well I did. Go feed my validation addiction.

Oh, and to anyone wondering if we’re okay over here in America: no.

The attempt to save Zechs organized by Kristen Lawfer

On July 13, 2020, we took our cat Zechs to the hospital because his breathing was labored and… Kristen Lawfer needs your support for The attempt to save Zechs

This family are close friends of mine; any help you can give them would be greatly appreciated. 

[websandwhiskers]

So apparently nearly thirty-five thousand of you have reblogged that kidfic post I jotted off in a fit of pique; if everybody who did that could give my friends $0.10 they’d be good.  I know it’s not as much of a feel-good thing to donate to pay the bill for a critter who didn’t make it as it is to help try to save him, but they got on with the trying to save him before the asking for help. 

If you cannot help financially, could you please reblog?  Be the one bright spark we all need in this year.

Does anybody else get legitimately worried when a fanfic author who was updating regularly just suddenly disappears with no warning? Like, is it a serious case of writers block or are they in a coma? Did they just up and quit? Was it me? Were my reviews not good enough?! Did they die 😳?! Were they kidnapped? Do I need to file a missing persons report? Excuse me officer, there’s been 13 weekly updates and now nothing for months! Find them! What’s their name?! Name!? I don’t know their name but they write 3k+ chapters and I need them safe and back in my life!

[naughtylupine-deactivated202305]

Sir, that’s my emotional support fanfic author.

[drarrymylove]

Officer: i’m sorry, but you can’t file this person missing.

Me: you don’t have all the facts.

Officer: which are?

Me: i love them.

So, painful story, but I’ve really needed to tell it for a while.

My best friend, the woman I loved for 13 years, was a fic writer in the middle of an especially long piece. She updated on a schedule and had for years. She had a small, but loyal following.

And then she died out of nowhere. One day we were laughing, the next she was in a coma, 3 days later she was dead. She hadn’t been ill and to this day we don’t know what took her. She was just gone.

I knew she had friends all over the world so I went into her email to see if I could find addresses and notify people after a week of blind grief. In her inbox were about a dozen concerned messages from her readers. I cried. I cried and cried and I responded to all of them, telling people she had passed.

And the messages kept coming. Those people spread the word and message after message came in, most of them addressed to me now, as I had given those original readers my contact info. There were words of comfort and grief and just every emotion imaginable in that scenario. I wrote back to them all, thanking them and comforting them.

For months after she died, during the worst of my grief, I had those messages. I had those people. And they had me. I really think I might not have made it to the other side without them.

So, the fact that you care? That you think of them? That these authors who became a presence in your world are missed when they aren’t there? It means something very real. On the off chance that the author did die? Anyone who has seen this post will find comfort during the loss of their friend or family member, knowing that you all exist. That they aren’t alone. That you CARE that the world now lacks their loved one.

So, yeah. I’ve seen this post and ones like it for years and wanted to share this story. I finally could today.

Thank you, every person who reblogged this post. People like you are the biggest reason I’m alive today.

I grew up with a grandma who quilted, but she’d never been interested in passing along the hobby, so when she finally kicked it I was the grandkid who got all her materials, ‘cause I was the only one who knew how to use a sewing machine. Then, in 2015, a friend had a baby and I figured I’d make her a quilt, ‘cause how hard could it be?

oh

my

god

Luckily I am the stubbornest human alive, ‘cause I never woulda finished otherwise. I didn’t know what I was doing, didn’t know the terms to look up how to do anything, I musta reinvented the wheel like eight times and it took ten months, BUT I DID IT.

Figured I’d suffered enough and would never do it again and now I’m on quilt #9 smdh

————————–

I’m hyperventilating.

Holy shit. Holy SHIT.

This is INCREDIBLE.

Oh my god.

I’ve gotta go lay down holy shit look at this how do we just walk by other human beings every day and live our separate lives when there’s a person sitting next to you on the train or in line for coffee who goes home and makes things like this what even IS being human holy shit.

GOOD FUCKING JOB.
