#tldr on the real life experience when you're pining for a girl while working at a place where most people communicate via flirting and you

misguided wingman is literally my shit i personally love seeing akira written as a lovestruck fool. also catch me still melting over "Were Helios half as radiant as my Chariot, the world would understand the folly of Icarus..."

Pear!!! Thank you so much, I’m gonna be honest I never expected my one-off idea I had almost a year ago to go from “yeah ryuji seems like the kind of guy to get a lowkey-confession-slash-coming-out like that and decide to support his bro by playing wingman at a guy he doesn’t realize looks like his American cousin” to blowing up into the 6 chapter thing that it is or for it to get the feedback that it has. I am so excited to post it, you have no idea, but I’ve been holding off because I know what happens when I try to post a multichap piece before it’s done and I don’t want to leave people hanging.

And if you like Lovestruck Fool Akira, I hope you also like Anxious Dork Akira, because we’re now past the date with Hawaii Guy and into “oh god I’ve cheated on Ryuji” “You aren’t even dating Ryuji” “I’ve cheated on him”. It’s fun stuff and based partly on my own real life experience, so that’s fun!

And the Helios line. Oh my god the Helios line. I’m so proud of that, I’m so glad I remembered to write that one down because that one was a Halfway To Sleep At 3 AM line that I had forgotten by the time I woke up. I tweaked it a little from the original thought, “Were Apollo half as radiant, the world wold understand the folly of Icarus was not hubris but reckless devotion” and I’m really happy with both versions. But Helios and Chariot seemed Especially Fitting, yanno? I’m not sure how I’m gonna top it in the spinoff fics I’m planning, but I’m definitely gonna try. At least in two of them, the third is just gonna be an even more self-indulgent chatfic between the rest of the PT taking bets on when/how they’re gonna get together.
