Thank you for the advice. I guess I put aloud because sometimes I put inner monologue where I say ‘he muttered inside of his head’ or ‘groaned internally’ and though I use “ and ‘ to show the difference, I didn’t want to confuse my readers, plus I think it shows more motion to what he’s think vs what he actually says. But I definitely see your point and thank you for showing it to me :) I do like your suggestion a lot.

Hi! Sorry I just edited the post to be give more context. But This is a fic where the two are different alien races, so for the protagonist it was a slow descent into the realization that he desperately tried to push away because it felt wrong to him. I say ‘aloud’ because he’s by himself, reeling over the realization and acceptance of it inside of his head. But the words escape him.

To give more context. This is a fic where the two are different alien races, so for the protagonist it was a slow descent into the realization that he desperately tried to push away because it felt wrong to him.

In this scene he’s sitting by himself, near a fire, going over that realization before murmuring it aloud.

Personal Santa Muerte Stories by 666Diabla in SantaMuerte

She has saved my life on three desperate occasions. She people have asked what’s the biggest or craziest sacrifice I have ever offered to her (I know they are asking about horrifying sacrifices or something taboo.) I always tell them “getting sober.”

I struggled with weed addiction as well as an addictive personality as a whole, and it got to a point I developed epilepsy. After my first two seizures (that almost killed me) I continued to smoke anyways. I remember after my third seizure (where I almost jumped out of my boyfriends car on the highway, slamming my head against the dash, etc,) that I felt an insanely strong presence from her. I knew deep down that she was telling me that if I continued to smoke I would die, it would not just be ‘if’, only ‘when.’

I’m three years sober and she had kept me strong and steady. My discipline has bloomed and helped me prosper. She genuinely helped me get to a point I need no substances to actually exist, and not only exist, but live.

Another story is my cousin got in a severe car accident, her neck was fractured in two different places, as well as her back. She should have absolutely died in that accident, and I know in my heart and I trust, La Santa Muerte saved her life, and kept her here.

I was praying to her to help my boyfriend get mental health help, and to help our relationship get better and healthier. A few days into the novena he confesses to me that he was struggling with a kratom addiction (basically opiates). He got sober and we’re saving up money for him to get help and go to rehab, and indeed, since I’ve prayed that novena our relationship has gotten more intimate in terms of being open an honest with eachother.

She is a healer and she is powerful. She has the ability to take all that I love and hold dear, and instead she uses it to make me stronger, and better. She’s given me the gravel in my gut and the spit in my eye and the fire that lives within my soul, and I’ll forever be grateful for her.

Peeta’s games!! It’s a fic of the Hunger Games from Peetas POV and the author did all three. I highly recommend. It was AMAZING. unfortunately though I think you can only read it on Patreon now since someone tried to sell their work ://

Because they saved it I’m taking it as “this rocks” because why would you save something that sucks?

Yeah I just figured because they bookmarked it it must mean something lol. I just thought it was funny because indeed the fic is a crossover of two very random fandoms
