I asked a while back about binding your work Percolate in to a book. And I wanted to share because we finished!! My elderly neighbor Carol is er was a book binder/restored book for a job and is now a hobby for her so she helped me! She helped me format it correctly, and buy the correct paper, and helped me print it all from the comfort of my home So it was a lot. (Well the cover we took to our local printing company to have printed out on fancy matte paper) I wanted to share it with you because it means so much to me to have this work of art in my hands, to physically hold it and love it! I’ve already started reading it again while sipping on my not Tea (hot water lemon and honey) sitting in front of my large window cuddle in a cozy fuzzy blanket. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to write this amazing work of art and sharing it. Thank you 💕

(I will say we did chest just a little bit we used a template for the cover and the free vector images carol has for making covers. Because I can’t draw I tried and it was bad haha! )

i would like to preface this by letting you know that when i saw this ask for the first time i immediately burst into tears, so if the following is a bit dramatic at least you have that bit of context.

i felt a lot of things all at once, i think, seeing you hold Percolate in your hands. first was just a kind of dumbstruck amazement that it existed in a real, physical, tangible way somewhere out there in the big wide world. next was a sense of pride that it was something i had written. and third was just this deep, unending sense of gratitude and appreciation for you (and sweet Carol.)

i remember writing Percolate curled up on my couch or in my bed, trying to find the right words to tell the story; listening to music while i edited a chapter and wondering if anyone was even going to like it; how nauseated i would feel each time i posted an update until someone finally left a comment saying they enjoyed it, and the rush of satisfaction that would follow; and the 16 pages of looseleaf paper that i had first scrawled the plot onto when the idea struck me, and used as an outline until the very last chapter.

i sometimes forget about Percolate, so many years on. i'm not as active in the AOT fandom. i don't celebrate the big milestones it hits anymore in the same way i used to. the numbers (while something i am of course incredibly grateful for) have lost their meaning a little bit, i think, in the grand scheme of things. 77,640 hits is a lot of times to have been clicked on. 2,825 kudos means that there are almost three thousand people out there who found my story and liked something in it enough to let me know. and this one hard copy of the fic, that you worked hard to make with your hands, means that someone cared about the thing i made enough to want to treasure it. that's something so special to me that i can't begin to say.

this silly story--my story, that used to be just some thoughts in my head and now is real on your bookshelf--was an absolute honour to share with you, and it's as much yours as it is mine now. thank you so much for sending me these photos of your hard work, and thank you for loving the story. i hope it makes you happy for a long time!!

“You’re pretty.”

He leaned closer against the elf’s shoulder, his words slurred, his eyes swimming as he tried to focus on his face, his hand running up Tyril’s chest to try and cup his cheek.

“Why are you so pretty?”

“Can you please?” Tyril said as he attempted to right the man beside him.

“I cannot. Not wh- whe- when you are so pretty,” Mal grinned as he leaned back against Tyril and began pawing at him again.

“How do I stop this?” he turned and asked Daenarya.

“Don’t challenge him to a drinking contest he can’t win?” Maiele winked.

“Not helpful. Daenarya, please,” he begged. “Make him stop.”

“What makes you think I can?”

“Please,” he said incredulously.

“Do I take pity on him?” she asked Maiele.

Maiele looked him over and chuckled at the desperation behind Tyril’s eyes. He simply nodded.

Daenarya stood up and rested her hand gently on Mal’s shoulder.

“Let’s get you home,” she smiled.

“Oh! You are sooooo much prettier,” Mal said in surprise.

fjslksdjfk THAT'S MY DRUNK IDIOT RIGHT THERE!

The way I'm laughing and crying and crying laughing because this is the most Mal Volari thing I've ever read. My drunk boy loves pretty things and pretty people. He has a rough life being surrounded by pretty people lol

Mal always being surprised Daenarya is with him and she is pretty is my fave. He is just a precious cinnamon roll who somehow made it to live this far in his life.

But Tyril being so so so so done with him is always my favorite mood.

“I cannot. Not wh- whe- when you are so pretty,” Mal grinned as he leaned back against Tyril and began pawing at him again.

Drunk!Mal pawing Tyril telling him he is pretty is my new favorite thing to happen in this world! Like I will never not want that image to live rent free in my life. I will pay it to live there.

This was the most fun drabble and I literally am in love with every word. I've read it at least 10 times already and just keep giggling.

I love my drunk idiot. He is so pretty and precious. He's lucky Daenarya loves him and pitied Tyril enough lol

I love you so so much! You are the most wonderful person to exist and always gift me the best little things. I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life but I adore you more than I'll ever be able to say!!!!

Thinking about how I almost fucking died Friday night

Like.

Even post op from the first surgery I just straight up wasn't feeling good, but I just chalked it up to having the intended surgery(tubal ligation) + the removal of a big fucking cyst that was probably days away from bursting. But as the hours dragged on, I was becoming less and less aware of things and constantly closing my eyes drifting off, but thankfully not quite asleep and slightly able to hold a conversation. My dad came to visit and while traffic delayed him+ is really only allowed to stay til 8pm, was about to leave when doctors/nurses/nurse practitioners just come pouring in and while I can't recall the conversation, it was clearly something pretty bad! According to my dad my heart rate was 45-55 give or take. And I was hastily wheeled to a CT scan and then the OR after. I lost three quarts of blood with internal bleeding, the surgery took roughly 3 hours, and the cause was my fallopian tubes were bleeding out and thus were completely removed via salpingectomy. And I'm just????? Like yeah that's so. Fucking. Much. In one day.

#death mention tw #blood tw #ask to tag #keep forever #my tag for reminding myself just what in the absolute fuck happened #and since I'm feeling fine-ish now I can actually think about it #I almost died #like I think there were about 7 or so doctors/nurse practitioners/nurses all in my room #like what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!
