Director’s commentary on Float and Rest in Grace if possible. Thank you!
if you were to ask me to put together a portfolio of my best short-form work, like a top 5, float would go in it. float might even be in second place. i loved writing it. i loved thinking about it. i was devastated to end it and (for like the only time ever) i wanted it to be longer. when i finished brba i had so many thoughts and feelings that i couldn't begin to organize them in a meta. i put the jesse related feelings in float and that felt good, but i still have a walter story to tell eventually. it'll be nonfiction though, i think. a personal essay about living under a narcissist.
anyway float is so deeply etched in my brain that while i was re-watching brba last year i couldn't remember what was canon and what i'd made up. i also think it was my first successful attempt at my current revision process.
i couldn't find my notes but here were some of my navigation headers:
rest in grace is another fic i kind of shot into the abyss but it found its audience and gets a steady readership. there's always an uptick in comments when someone shares it in a discord or something. i think i owe my entire following to people sharing my fics in discord servers.
here's a fun story:
i watched the final film before it was released in the US and so it was a sketchy cam rip, and in the background i could hear the guys who were recording it. they were american, probably in their 20s, and through the first part of it they seemed to be making fun of it and not paying a lot of attention.
and then they got quiet for a long time.
and then this part happened:
and they went NUTS. "dude, dude, oh my god, is that him? is that really him?" "bro that's him!"
this movie totally gutted me but watching it with the recorded commentary of two random dudebros was amazing and also softened the agony a little.
i respect how the writers chose to end it (to my understanding, the book ended more explicitly), and i understand why they did it the way they did, but the beautiful thing about fanfic is that i can enjoy an ending and still fix it. i'm never fond of what i call merciless angst, where someone refuses to be with someone else for no apparent reason (a popular trope in a lot of the jdramas i watch), and i was also bummed that there had to be, like, a plot. i wanted cottagecore amnesia daddy issues and that's it. and so i wrote that.
overall i think rest in grace is the closest i've ever gotten to my own ideal aesthetic and concept of romance, and so i re-read it a lot when i'm anxious to help calm myself down.
i think someone sent me an ask once about whether or not i'd ever write violet/dietfried, and the answer is yes absolutely. but it would be after a rewatch probably. i still need to get my roommate to watch it with me.
thank you for asking about these fics! they're two i'm really happy to have written.

Hello! I just wanted to ask where your header image is from? Thank you and I hope you have a great day! ✨
Hello there friend! You are the 5th person to ask me this 😂😂. I have now made a post for him so I can add it to this answer. It's this guy. His name is Endo Yuya and it's from a jdrama called Sugarless. I want to let you know he is only in the drama for 2 eps (9-10) and he is a little baddie but not really 😚😚. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week friend!! 💖💖💖
