This is just gonna be me eating my own goddamn food and saying MMMM DELISHUS https://twitter.com/ItsAiryBro/status/1211051034359013377

I really like the description of Daichi's study, i hoped to make it nice and sunny and bright visually, just like a majority of the scenery in VE. and i think that comes through in this, and I'm very pleased

This is one of my fav 'protag meeting' scenes. I'm a BIG sucker for dramatic first meetings (cough Bollywood/Kollywood cough) so i kinda let that get the best of me here. Also Daichi is incredibly handsome, and I always love to emphasize that as much as i am humanly able

OOOOGHGHHGH I LOVE THIS LITTLE SECTION DIVIDER

3 am Airy said We will write snappy dialog and 3 am Airy did it!! Absolutely bonkers. I love this line!

that's a nice little descriptor right there. I like it. Good job!

Another nice descriptor!!! 3 am Airy really pulling out all the stops here

GOSH HOW SAPPY!!! THE YEARNING!! THE YEARNING!!!!!!!

The library scene is a 'bubble' scene, which i LOVE because it really helps to establish atmosphere or push emotional connections. Cutting out a lot of the external information and focusing on the bubble the characters are in is like a little rest stop on the narrative highway?

Also it's just very quiet and gentle and it's like a liminal space where it feels like if you breathe too loud you'll disturb the peace... I love Bubble scenes man gosh

Another nice description of Daichi... gosh the image of Daichi laughing makes me so happy. I always have to describe how handsome he is or I might actually perish

Kudos for using the word Covetous. I think it's a very pretty word.

Go catboys go! Fight fight fight

Does this make sense? idk. it sounds impressive tho.

This one though. This one's nice. Shout out to Enno for helping me figure out the phrasing for this. Love Soup. Love people.

Another solid by 3 am Airy. i think there's something very intimate and precious about saying your favourite person's name out loud. It is said with care. The sounds are filled with care. The deliberate movement of lips and tongue is made with care. There is always care in a name

At this point I was 3 days past my gifting deadline and was rapidly losing steam so i decided to cut out the bullshit and have it be simple and straightforward (much like Daichi, tbh. What a stroke of genius). I think it worked out well though

The end!! Gosh i am so so so pleased with how this fic turned out. For something i wrote in a hurried, frantic rush, it turned out better than i thought. (I sound pretty sceptical of the quality in my A/N in the fic, but now i think it's actually pretty good!)

I don't usually write like this (formal, somewhat flowery) but I thought it'd be interesting considering the source material (Violet Evergarden) is very elegant and finely crafted. Also thought it would fit the tone of the story better, and it did, so I'm glad that paid off!

I also realize now that there's barely any mention of hands in the fic so i'll go back and add something in there, somewhere...

If you wanna talk/ask questions about this fic or VE please my CriousCat is open and so are my DMs. If you read this whole thread, thank you!! I hope you found some entertainment. Also please consider watching VE if you haven't yet!
