Truthfully, this is a bit embarrassing to admit, but you deserve to hear it:

I discovered this series a few weeks ago. I expected it to be a bunch of gen stories, at most a bit angsty, but still sweet. Admittedly, I had a preconceived notion based on title alone.

What actually happened was, it turned out to be utterly heartbreaking, it made me cry, and that doesn't happen easily, believe me.

I didn't dare leave a comment right away, nor read the rest of this 'verse yet. Will be doing that slowly over the next few days, to brace myself for it, in case they break my heart as this first in the series did. In fact, even while I'm writing this, not having read it this time but wanting to leave a review, I've still got a lump in my throat.

All of which is to say: I adore this series, and your writing style. You have a way with words that gives them incredible power, all while remaining subtle, never once even remotely skirting the territory of "melodrama"--which is a genre I detest, if I'm honest. And exploring aspects and characters no one else does? Major kudos for that.

Will be reccing these in this, this, and other reclists of mine, with your permission. (Let me know if you're against it.)
