Ohhh my hearttt... Oh this is so good, Hazgarn. Goodness. You wrote this so well as you do many others but OUGH THIS ONEEE
Janus being an empath, all the emotions he feels beside his strong love for Thomas coming from the other sides, other sources. The perspective he has on it. OUGHHH!!! AND HE AND PATTON!!! IN THIS !!! OUGH!!!
Patton not wanting to force feelings onto Janus and Janus retorting if that means he'd rather Janus miss out on feeling it at all. Ohhh that's such a good character moment for BOTH of them.
Virgil's appeaance in this is just,,perfect,, The warning he gave Patton, "whatever you think he feels for you, he doesnt".. That specific wording fired off the romantic feelings aspect in my brain, past anxceit you are so endearing to me... But interpreting it that way meaning Virgil also clocked Patton might have some romantic feelings fgoing on there before Patton figured it out... Very good very good. LOVE the way Virgil misunderstood that, you are soo so good at characterisation it's so delightful to read every time.
The way you wrote Patton's analysing of his Love for Janus and realised the difference, the new quality,, ouhhh!!! theyre so.. mm <3
"metaphorical aromanticism" is such a fun tag on this. Because yeah. Yeah. I cant feel romantic attraction unless you feel it for me and let me have it as something like mine. Waow.
REMUSS!! Janus' fondness for Remus makes so much sense in this one (it always does, but this one just... sells it in a way never seen before).. Remus' earnest excitement and glee, that joy of comradery, even if it did cross his mind that what Janus feels and gets excited with him for is hisi Own excitement reflected back, it's still Shared Excitement... ough,,,
Delightful fic to post on new years, a perfect one if you will. Whether as an end to 2025 or a start to 2026.. love is in bloom..
