Frayed-Apart
I regularly forget how many followers I have on here. But at times like this I remember and it blows my mind. It blows my mind that so many people read my stuff. It’s crazy.
But since apparently so many of you do,
Which scene that I have written made you cry the most? And why?
Cause i know which ones i cried writing. But occasionally i get comments referring to scenes that i didn’t expect to be as hard hitting.
Also which of my characters did you think have the biggest impact on you? I’ve been writing for 9 years now (almost a decade, bloody hell) and I know which of my books held more of a personal journey for me. I wonder as readers, which one was it for you?
Just curiosity.

@Frayed-Apart Supernova and your Druig books have made me especially emotional. I can't remember if it was God Save Us or Impossible, but the one with the ex boyfriend who put him on a pedestal? And it ended... terribly, to put it simply? That whole thing and the wound he still had physically from it, too... oof, it made me cry for sure. And then the whole first part of Supernova and it ending with him only having his best friend with him in the end hit me hard as well. It's been a while since I've read them, but they def stuck with me. I gotta reread em, I'm due for it. As for characters... I frequently reread your PotC books (currently rereading it too lol) and Stained Glass Windows. Add Darling to that, too, I've reread that multiple times as well. Benjamin, though... I love him so freaking much. I don't know what it is, but he's so special to me. He's just so loyal and witty and romantic and free spirited and UGH idk, I love him and the dynamics he has with the people in his life. I also like that he's interested in both in the couple and not just one. A two for one will ALWAYS catch my eye.

@Frayed-Apart Honestly I think the scene that hit me the hardest was Basil's last letter or last talk to his brother if I remember correctly where he confessed to him about his sexuality and how it was unfair that he lived in a world where he would be persecuted for that. It just hit me really hard especially when you go on to learn that his brother spent the rest of his life fighting for gay rights and equality. And that his and James' letter would later serve as a testament to how gay people have always existed. In a time where people love to deny the LGBTQ+ community it served as a nice reminder even in fiction that we have always existed and no matter how hard they try to bury our past the truth will always come to light. For the character that made the biggest impact on me for obvious reasons would be Basil Parrish. :)
