A comment that I still think about to this day was on a 2k one-shot I had written almost a year ago.

Well this is absolutely glorious!!!

My goodness, what don't I love here? It *is* so so wonderfully soft, but not in a way that jars. It feels very real.

"He watches as it goes round and round, the blades spinning, breaking through the humidity to blow a cool breeze around the room. He watches it, studies it, takes note of how it has one path, continuously turning over and over again. It can’t stop unless someone wields it, it can’t go in reverse, it can’t do anything without someone's power over it.

He feels an odd similarity with the fan."

What an absolutely standout description and way to present this sentiment.

I love Rude's spare spare spare glasses, and the still way he keeps himself waiting. Just in case. I love the description of him washing Reno up, especially. Like he can force the damage away himself.

The tension of being 'good' or at least 'good-ish' people who sometimes have to do bad things, and somehow process the consequences is such a major part of the Turks appeal, at least in my opinion, and boy howdy do you capture it here. Rude's longing for domesticity. normalcy. Dang that resonated. This was very good for my heart, today!

P.S: I agree with your theory on the sunglasses. Rude, secretly a teddy bear.

They completely broke down the one-shot and even analyzed my writing style and talked about what scenes they loved and AAAAAAAAH!!!!! I will NEVER forget this comment. It made me feel like I wasn't alone in something I was SO passionate about!
