also re: romance does not have a monopoly on yearning, that post is about real life and i don't want to make it about fandom, but i would love to see more stories about the yearning and heartbreak that can come with non-romantic love.

some of my favorite stories are ones that touch on this. because there is so much potential for yearning outside of romance! second guessing if your best friend thinks you're their best friend or just another person they know. thinking of someone as your chosen family, but knowing/believing that their blood family will always come before you. growing to care for someone you've wronged in the past, and worrying that they'll never feel safe around you. growing apart from someone you've known since you were a child, and missing the people both of you used to be.

there are SO many stories here. and i'm going to keep writing as many of them as I can, but I'd love to see more of them out in the world, too.

#love as in significance #platonic love #stars has thoughts #this kind of story is at the core of like. everything i write #i don't do romance but i SURE DO YEARNING #also. this is not really a request for media recs (just a plea to the universe/creators in general) but i will accept them
