You're amazing you're wonderful you're incredible I hope life only treats you well Thank you for using your talents to write about Haobin
i just saw you mention t kingfisher and omg it makes sm sense that you like her books. the forest scenes in kismet are some of my favourite parts and they remind me of her work! fantasy with creepy nature elements and atmospheric writing is something i rarely see in fanfiction but you’re so good at it and im really eating it upp
I'm 100% inspired by a lot of the "cottagegore" books I've read and I'm glad that it shows! I've been wanting to write something horror-ish for a super super long time, but was worried people wouldn't really enjoy it. Imagine my surprise when so many people liked kismet! ;-; I recently re-read don't let the forest in by c.g. drews, and that book is incredible if you're looking for something creepy and atmospheric to read ♡
I'm really curious about whether you have favourite haobin fics? Any recommendations you think are great reads ෆ╹ .̮ ╹ෆ
OH this is a reaaally really hard question! Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot less time to read fics recently, and I’m having trouble thinking of ones to list now, but I'm going to try not to overthink it! I could spend an eternity waxing poetic about the fics my author friends wrote, but for the sake of not being too biased, I'll try to keep that at a minimum ♡ At the same time, I'll try to recommend some stories that I think deserve to be talked about more ♡

This is a really unique fic that I think more people should read, it's something I haven't really seen from our fandom before and I loved reading it! I don't even know how to describe it, but do keep in mind that despite the humour, it's sort of a heavy story. That being said, it's the fic that i tend to come back to every once in a while, and each read is just as enjoyable as the first!

This is a story that comes to mind immediately! It's beautifully written, the setting is so vivid and I remember exactly how it made me feel the first time I read it! I always name it as thee fic that made me want to pick up writing again! It's really a magical story that I think everyone should read!

This fic had me giggling sooo much! It's very sweet, the writing is really fun and the setting is really really lovely! I'm a sucker for royalty AUs, and this one is my favorite!
♡ a scream, in the woods somewhere by ijustatehao (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73248796)
I read this fic when I was on a T. Kingfisher binge, and I had so much fun with it. The writing is very rich and atmospheric! Do take a good look at the tags before you decide to give it a read - I highly recommend that you do!

This is another fic that's on the darker side, but I loved the way it sucked me in! It's really well written, and the themes are really unique and well explored!
♡ Dancing in the Moonlight by Nej_Illjuna (https://archiveofourown.org/works/89305741)
This was so cute!!! Just adorable, I love my witch fics, and this one is just so cute It'll give you cavities, I really really loved it!
♡ Crimson Lilies by Sriracha0_1 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/85259586/)
This fic is very special to me because I had the honour of betareading it, and it's such a wild ride! Really well thought out, super well written, and the author just so happens to be a superhuman who also made a bunch of artworks for it. If you haven't read it yet, and are in the mood for a crimefic, do check this story out! You won't regret it!
♡ and so blessed be. by novelization (https://archiveofourown.org/works/54077950/)
I’ll close my tiny little list with a classic! This is another one of my all time favourite reads, as is the case for a lot of people. Such a comforting read, really captures the essence of the movie well, and will make you feel all sorts of feelings!
Not a question but just wanted to say I LOVE YOUR WRITING SO MUCH 🫶❤️ I look forward to every chapter of kismet (and re-read while waiting for chapters to come out hehe. Hotel Keys and Vinyl Dreams is also one of my staple re-reads, I literally get heart aches and cry everytime too 🤣 YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVE BN WRITERS OF ALL TIME AND WILL READ ANYTHING YOU WRITE 🩷🩵🩷🩵
This is so sweet, thank you so much!!! Kismet is such a monster and really hard for me to write, but all the love it's getting is really motivating!! ♡ There's a lot of things that I'd do differently if I were to write HK&VD again, but at the same time, I'm happy that at least the emotional parts of it landed right! Thank you so much for leaving me such a sweet message ;-; ♡
