I am back. Hello. I am feeling better (finally)
BUT BACK to ur fic :D I loved the characterization you did for everyone! It felt very IC to me (obv some stuff had to be adjusted for fic purposes compared to the actual endwalker canon, but you handled it in a way I really liked!!! I’m a HUGE sucker for angst of ANY kind) it was very nice! It’s quite a talent to be able to pull that off. I also like the backstory and design of ur wol! And that you put tidbits of info about it all thru the fic and not like a huge info dump at once, like a trail of treats >:3c it was intriguing and it did make me look for the tumblr post about ur entire backstory for ur wol because the way you wrote it made me wanna learn more! In the good way :D I didn’t feel lost at all while reading the fic itself.
Additionally I enjoy the tidbit you added between Lyna and G’raha 🥺 with her splinting his tail, it was a lovely addition that I haven’t actually had the pleasure to really read in a wolraha fic before. Like it’s one thing to leave that kind of thing open ended in a fic and leave it up to the readers interpretation on how Exarch!G’raha raised Lyna while you know, having to be The Exarch. But it’s really nice to see some direct ‘G’raha Is A Good Dad’ content it WARMS MY SOUL. Thank you for the VERY good food :> it was delicious.
AHHHHHH thank you for saying such nice things about my fic and about my boi! Your comments really made my night, so I hope you don't mind I'm posting this publicly, but I didn't want to lose it.
I'm glad you found everyone to be IC, I work really hard to make sure that's the case, so to hear that my efforts paid off is very encouraging! (That's part of the reason Urianger didn't show up in this, he intimidates me, shhhh)
The lore tidbits were actually kinda the main point of the story originally. This is a little silly, but I finalized all his mods and design elements very recently, after finishing Endwalker, so the story was supposed to explain why I don't have screenshots during EW with his tail or his tattoo. Obviously, as I have been exploring his character and personality more lately, it kinda... got away from me lol
Lyna... I miss Lyna, that's really the explanation for how that wound up in there. I want to know more about their relationship within the context of him being G'raha, so I just did it myself. Also R'alma is very intrigued and curious about G'raha's life and relationships outside of his time with the Scions (both on the First and from the alternate timeline), and G'raha doesn't like to talk about it because it's painful. I'm hoping to touch on that some more in other fics.
Thank you again for all your kind words! This was seriously so very encouraging, and I will be going back to it frequently in the future.
