So as I was reminded by this post that today is the 1 year anniversary of the first day I posted you give me something. This was the first big fic I attempted in the fandom that actually went anywhere, and I wrote it while I was still in the haze of joy over being able to write again.
(Here is the playlist that I made for the story, because I sort of rediscovered music the same time as writing, and this was fun to do.)
Looking back at it, I can still see where the rust was pretty thick on my writing skills, and the beginning is sort of poorly structured, considering where I took it later. This is, after all, the story that was meant to be a silly one shot about a one night stand turned awkward morning after. Technically, I suppose that at the heart, it still is…just with about 100k more words of war zones and strange dreams and cultural exploration.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who was kind about this story, who left comments or kudos or sent me DMs about it, and thanks in general to the rebelcaptain fandom for being, on the whole, pretty damn awesome.
say you love me
