oh for the hlvrai fics. read cloud nine the freelatta fic please/nf
Okay! I finished this today, and boy… it was one of my favorite reads across all fandoms. This was a really sweet fic that I’m definitely going to be rereading from time to time. @chaotic-solutions is the creator, and I’m just going to say that reading this was a nice boost to my day. (Ask to untag, it’s no issue!)
Anyhow! Onto the review!
Rating: T
Notable tags: slow burn, (oblivious) mutual pining, hurt/comfort, first kiss
Pairing: Freelatta
Words: 18k
Summary: Black Mesa is gone. Everything’s over. Everything’s new.
More below the cut!
The details, as well, are a big part of why I’d want to read the again. The descriptions and scenes are beautifully written and I loved rereading them over and over.
I also loved the descriptions of his affection for Gordon, as well. It’s so heartwarming to see how in love Tommy is, even if he doesn’t realize it. It’s such a cute dynamic.
All in all, this fic is amazing. There’s nothing I don’t like about it! The writing is beautiful, the scenes and diaglogue are so realistic and immersive, and overall the characterizations and approach to the story is to die for. The plot and rising action is also just perfect. I feel like this is just the right amount of ‘slow’ burn. Not too slow, but also not rushing.
Overall, this is a 10/10 in my opinion. I had so much fun reading this, and it’s definitely one of, if not my favorite fic I’ve ever read. Thank you for suggesting this!
Extras:
Some of my favorite lines:
“It’s easier to ground himself like this, with Gordon warm and gentle against him, holding him like he’s something worth taking care of.”
“He hates that it’s almost impossible to turn down the chance to have Gordon pay attention to him.”
“Gordon looks up at him, before glancing away. He’s not going to push it- and Tommy’s almost grateful for that. (Another part of him wishes he’d pry, just a little. Just one time).”
A song I associate with this fic: Um, It’s Kind Of A Lot, by Will Wood!
