omg so i do have a distinct writing style?? i can’t tell when i read my own works but i have my own fave authors that i think id be able to pick their writing out of line up and ive always wondered if i also have my own writing style, ahhh that’s so cool 😭😭

i was actually initially a little worried about publishing an abo fic because i know not everyone is a fan of it but i think it’s so fun to write the dynamics and decided i’d do it anyway, i figured i might get less reads but didn’t mind as long as i got to write something that i was actually excited about! ily for giving it a try and am so happy you are enjoying it anyway <3 there’s a lot to the fic besides the abo dynamics so i hope that helps a bit plot wise :D

ahh thank u for reading and being so invested in my writing!! it means so much that you enjoy it enough to keep up with it so closely 🥹

i’ve actually gotten that a lot about failed resolutions! i think because i wasn’t on twitter at the time that i wrote it and didn’t promote it on there no one associates me with it but i am the author :D it’s my first ever fic (which isn’t saying a lot bcuz twsss is only my second fic 😭😭) honestly while i do sometimes reread some parts of it and cringe at my writing it’s such still such an important fic to me and im not sure i’ll ever write anything that feels more personal than that fic does

and a fun fact if you read failed resolutions, dr. carrie, miso and ms. lim are all real! they are all individuals i met while i lived in the city, ms. lim and miso have since passed and dr. carrie no longer practices but they were so vital to my recovery and i will never be able to thank them enough for giving me my life back :)

thank u for ur sweet words and thank u for supporting my writing!!

hiiii you didn’t miss it! there’s have been some hints but we’re at 90k word and it’s been weeks so i know i get lost and have to work hard to remember these little details too 😭😭 there’s a conversation that will be coming up soon between the two that i think will clear some of that up, so without spoiling too much future stuff ill share what we know so far :D hanbin introduced matt as a friend from new york in chapter 2, he explained hanbin tends to not talk about his time there in this quote “What he rarely talks about, however, is his family and the friends he made during his time there. Whenever Gunwook tries to push further, tries to understand exactly where his hyung came from, Hanbin steers them away from the topic. Never unkindly, but always firm.” so there’s already a bit of hesitance to talk about the people he knows there in the first place, gunwook is confused by it in general not just when it comes to matt but confused by who hanbin was before he met him. hanbin hasn’t really had too big of role yet mostly because of proximity in the fic, hao, matt and gw all work together so him becoming close to hao isn’t something suspicious, he even mentions talking about this with hanbin in chapter 4 in this quote “ Call him sensitive, whatever, but it’s not fair that Hao won his trust without even trying. Hanbin tells him it’s because of their subgenders, that they just have a different connection that alphas can’t understand.”

so from what he know right now, gunwook did initially question matt and hanbins friendship but is so accustomed to hanbin’s shiftiness regarding his past that he left it be (for now) and he does notice hao and matt are closer but attributes it to their subgenders being the same.
we’re about halfway through so there’s still quite a lot that hasn’t been discussed or revealed yet but it will be in time! i hope that cleared it up a bit and if not then no worries there will be lots revealed soon :D

ahh thank you!! i know the first chapter is definitely a lot :( i actually contemplated not adding that first chapter and starting right at where he gets on the bus and flees, but keita is such an important character that really haunts matt throughout the fic and i felt if i did it that way it wouldn’t have conveyed to readers how important their relationship was for his survival. i hope it wasn’t too hard to get through and that you took care of ur mental health while reading, love ❤️ from there on it is much smoother sailing but i’ll still always give warning at the beginning if there is anything that might be hard to read
also i can’t believe you re-read it!! that makes me so happy, i was never confident enough in my writing to share it with others so knowing you enjoy it enough to re-read makes me feel so reassured 🥹🥹 ty!! <33333
