Hi how are you?
Sorry if this message is random
I really love your writing, and I always read your fics as soon as you post. You’re one of my favorite writers.
I was a bit hesitant to text you, but your writing encouraged me
I wanted to ask if one day you’d consider writing a story about Alaz and Asi.
Alaz as a doctor, Asi as a psychological patient, and they meet in a mental health facility.
I know this isn’t really ethical — a doctor falling in love with his patient —
but I feel like her being in the facility has reasons beyond just being mentally ill.
I think that could be a strong starting

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! Honestly, I love where your head is at. I totally respect your take on the psychiatric institution—it actually adds a much deeper and more realistic layer to the story than just a typical 'doctor-patient' romance.
The 20th-century setting and the focus on anti-colonialism/Fanon is brilliant! Turning Asi into a spy and Alaz into a resistance doctor is such a genius twist. It fixes that power dynamic issue perfectly and makes it feel like a high-stakes 'enemies to lovers' vibe.
I’m so excited about this direction! Please take your time with it. I’d love to see how Asi’s mission clashes with her feelings for Alaz and his cause. Can't wait to see what you come up with! ❤️

@nssssssza I'm glad you like my idea and love discussing it with you as we seem to build an interesting base plot... but I'm warning you, there's no promise I'll write it because I've got so many other short stories and different plot requests in the work Thank you so much for the love, again ❤️

@nssssssza hello, don't apologise or hesitate, I have said to be open to requests and it's always pleasant to get feedback on my writing, so thank you so much ❤️ Coming to your request, before even getting to Aslaz, the topic of psychology and therapy is a bit touchy for me because I am extremely critical of the institution and partly don't believe in it. Now as you've pointed, there's also a relationship of hierarchy that implies a form of power the man would have over the woman in this trope that I'm not really keen on. If I give it a thought, maybe it could be something historical, set in the 20th century. It could be critical of that stage in psychiatric studies where incarceration in mental health facilities was seen as the defacto "treatment" and show Fanon and many's work on being critical of this and bring on more progressive reinsertion prodcedures. Asi could also be sick, while simultaneously being there for an ulterior motive, like maybe she's a spy, in the facility for some other reason. Again, Fanon comes to my mind, maybe we could include a layer of anticolonialism. Alaz would not be a simple doctor but working with resistance groups, Asi is the daughter of a bureaucrat or officer, sent as a spy, this also reverse the hierarchical power dynamic. In the end, she ends up realising what's at sake and abandoning her goal, while she falls for Alaz too ? The idea would need more work, but that's what comes to my mind.
