Isolated homesteads passed below, a few with lighted windows but most of them dark[...]. There was a story under every roof, she knew. She knew all about stories. But those down there were the stories that were never to be told, the little secret stories, enacted in little rooms… They were about those times when medicines didn’t help and headology was at a loss because a mind was a rage of pain in a body that had become its own enemy, when people were simply in a prison made of flesh, and at times like this she could let them go. There was no need for desperate stuff with a pillow, or deliberate mistakes with the medicine. You didn’t push them out of the world, you just stopped the world pulling them back. You just reached in, and…showed them the way. There was never anything said. Sometimes you saw in the face of the relatives the request they’d never, ever put words around, or maybe they’d say “is there something you can do for him?” and this was, perhaps, the code. If you dared ask, they’d be shocked that you might have thought they meant anything other than, perhaps, a comfier pillow. And any midwife, out in isolated cottages on bloody nights, would know all the other little secrets… Never to be told... She’d been a witch here all her life. And one of the things a witch did was stand right on the edge, where the decisions had to be made. You made them so that others didn’t have to, so that others could even pretend to themselves that there were no decisions to be made, no little secrets, that things just happened. You never said what you knew. And you didn’t ask for anything in return.

Discworld is great because it will have a slapstick comedy scene immediately followed by a gut punch that will stay with you for the rest of your life...

Okay, before I blast this on socials that I don't have to pay to be verified on, how much are we charging for the car wash? Ah, we are not charging anything and relying purely on donations.

I'd like to thank you for all your amazing fics, I've binge-read 14 of them in the last month and they're all so so so good it's like a buffet of cake and I've downloaded 7 for my all-time favourite fanfics folder. I'm about to start reading the mer duo and I'm very excited. I thought you couldn't top 'some ordinary slaughter' but then i read 'our lovelines grew hopelessly tangled' and I love every single word in it and i know I'll reread it many more times. I won't ask for more fanfic, because that would be very greedy of me.

Thank you and i wish you all the good things in life! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Aww, thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a lovely message! (i'm well aware how rare that is in fandom these days :p) So glad you've enjoyed so much of the Jynnic fic and very honoured at the downloading haha. I hope you love the mer duo just as much, I really felt that was the best writing I had done at the time but then I evolved so much as a writer just through those two years of writing Mendo/Jynnic. It was such a wonderfully creative time, my god.

Yeah, no chance of any more Star Wars fic from me but weirdly enough, I have finished writing one novel earlier this month -- not Star Wars related -- and so have been brainstorming the next one and decided it's gunna be a Mendo novel. No doubt a lot of Jynnic stuff will be recognisable in there lol. I'll write that next January so will flag it here when it's done and published in some form or another.

Thank youuu! <3 <3 <3

“You know what day it is, Ping?” said Colon. “Er…25th of May, Sarge.” “And you know what that means, Ping?” “Er…” “It means,” said Nobby, “that anyone important enough to ask where we’re going—” “—knows where we’ve gone,” said Fred Colon. The door slammed behind them.
