something fun

[sideways]

Link me to a fic you've written, and I'll tell you something I like about it! c:

All fandoms and original fic welcome - though if you're going to link me to your 300,000 word magnum opus, a nominated chapter would be nice.

I'll play. I'm giving you a couple of choices and keeping them brief and PG.

Kiss This World Goodbye (Paper Girls, if you plan to read the comic I'd skip as it spoils the story.)

So This Is The Aftermath (Stranger Things, Will Byers, Gen.)

Thanks for doing this!

Opted for the ST one, just in case I do decide to read Paper Girls someday ;)

I liked all the detail in the memories and the observations - Will's tabletop metaphors, Mike's big Wheeler eyes, the memory of the deer - and how you used them as a contrast between Will's life before and his struggle to figure out what he is now, after, and how he fits back in. It felt like a child's attempted rationalisation of something traumatising on a terrible scale.

I'm glad that's what you got out of it! That's what I was aiming for.

Thanks again. :)
