Hey, fam! Thanks for sending this

For ‘just like that day’:

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

Oh man it’s probably this: “The sand shifted beneath them, and the sea swelled silently.” It’s part of the scene where Andrew and Neil are slow-dancing and I’m just. Can’t believe I did that.

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

When Andrew asks Neil what’s on his mind and Neil, the romantic fucker, says, “Just you.” 

5: What part was hardest to write?

The angsty bits – Andrew’s despair at the prospect of losing Neil.

11: What do you like best about this fic?

The happy parts balanced by the angsty parts! I had hoped that I achieved the effects of interweaving the two. Like, I wanted to make the accident more devastating by contrasting it with the soft, bright moments 

For ‘a world alone’:

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

Hoo boy this is a tough one, since the fic is long. It might be this: “There is a wall that separates Andrew from the rest of the world. He likes to imagine that Neil is standing on the other side, throwing paper airplanes over the wall until Andrew flies one back to him, until Andrew climbs up to the top and peers over the edge to see that Neil is already staring at him, head tipped back like he wants to kiss the moon.” 

People seemed to like this one a lot too :’)

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

Hmm it might be any one of the dialogues where Neil and Andrew are flirting with each other lmao. Or it might this one, said by Aaron: “I don’t think I’ll ever forgive you, for what you did to mom. But – but I understand now, why you did it, and I just – don’t want to lose you.”

Twinyard feels, yum

5: What part was hardest to write?

The part where Andrew is having a bad day, definitely. And parts where he’s sharing bits of himself with Bee and Neil

11: What do you like best about this fic?

The softness!! The romance!!! I love romance, sue me

For ‘groundswell waves’:

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

The last line probably. “Neil closes his eyes when Andrew’s lips press against his, his ears filled with the sound of breaking waves.”

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

When Andrew asks Neil if he wants Andrew to kiss him and Neil says: “I want you to want to.”

Damn. That boy is so smooth.

5: What part was hardest to write?

Lol the whole fic? 

11: What do you like best about this fic?

That I actually finished it, ha. Real talk though – I liked that it really was what I intended it to be: a feel-good fic where Neil just rolls with whatever his new life throws at him.

Thank you again!

Hey waddup so this isn’t from my BB fic but from another thing I’m working on and since it’s based on a different character’s POV, I’m using this instead 😀 not exactly a retelling of a scene that’s happened before, but. Details, details.

Something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective:

“Trust fall,” Neil declares out of the blue, and Jean scrambles to catch him when he turns around, closes his eyes, and falls backward off the stage.

(This is set in that AU where Neil is a show boy and Andrew and Kevin are detectives, if anyone is wondering :^) )

First two lines:

Neil is on a boat. A tightly sealed little ark, dark and suffocating.

Last two lines: 

Answered here!

(Thank you my dude my guy!!)

Last two sentences written: 

He hasn’t been to the beach in a while. He avoided it, the first few years after his mother’s death.

(Thanks for sending me this!)
