@kirschteinsmaid
me looking at my 18k (and pending) word count for the final To My Duke, Dearest chapter:...so did y'all ask for some of that angst? Because you got some...
clear you schedules for this weekend, there is a little present arriving soon!! <33
hey guys, it really sucks because the tmdd finale is supposed to be out this week but I've not been too well/ school has actually waged war against me. but, currently I am at 12k words and not even close to finished to I really hope that this chapter meets my vision and gives a satisfying conclusion. I've been rewriting/editing lots of bits because I really want it to be good!
i really appreciate all of the sweet and lovely comments/messages I have been getting recently you guys don't know how much it helps/ how much it means. fingers crossed I can drop the chapter at the end of the week! <3
-misty!
Omg misty take your time !! This honestly gives me time to mentally prepare for it to be over (which I am SO not ready yet). So excited for once you are ready for it to be complete
soo ive spent the past few days rereading TMDD and i just need to let you know how much of a masterpiece that fic is. i feel like i comment it often but now that ive read it through all at once im genuinely so amazed. your mind has to be something incredible to come up with a story as beautiful and complex as that one. there were so many important moments that i missed or forgot happened, and now that ive refreshed my memory i cannot waitt for the finale. you are such a gifted writer and tmdd is so criminally underrated. thank you for blessing my eyes with this beautiful story!!!
@ilovehistor1a awwww this means so so so much to me. the fact that you've even read it once and then gone back to read again!! thank you so much bri, it means a lot. yes! you and me both I keep forgetting bits that I've written whilst I'm trying to tie the ending up in a bow so I hope I don't leave anything important out it's so bittersweet writing this final chapter. thank you thank you thank you for always being there to read and comment I hope the ending does it for you !! (thank you for being such a supportive reader!) <333
hiii misty!! I’d love to make a tik tok post promoting this fic as apart of my current fav reads, please let me know you’d be okay with that as well as if you have a tt account you’d like me to tag into! (my tt is jeankirsteinsbbygirl)
@jeankirsteinsbbygirl eek! thank you <333 lol i really struggle to write jean outside of historical aus because my interpretations never usually match up to the modern au version of him so I'm nervous to see how it goes, it's a story that I need to put under a bit revision anyway aha
@kirschteinsmaid hehehe yayy I can definitely make a cute post once it’s completed !! I think I already got 2 or 3 of my other moots to start reading it as well !! Ooo she’s cooking it up in the lab lol! I am excited for something new and different and also it being jean AND eren is CRAZY I’m so ready
@jeankirsteinsbbygirl hmm i guess if you're gonna twist a girls are its couldnt hurt haha :) I would be totally honoured if you wanted to promote my fic (you just having it in your reading list is attracting lots of new readers in of itself) but I would just like to have the final chapter published so you can say that it's complete!! (there will still obvs be a epilogue and authors note lol) so thanks for all your encouragement it means a lot. <3 and that's so cool that you want to start jeopardy! but just as a warning it is SO different from my writing in TMDD and the characters are really different as well. I've tried to push myself to see if I can still write without being flowery and romantic but instead a bit spikier if that makes sense? So if the characters are really different and the writing is much faster paced just imagine me with a lab coat experimenting with the prose like CRAZY aha.
Penultimate chapter of TMDD has been published please show it some love (jeans pov chapter). I did NOT expect to be writing it in 2026 but here we are <3

@nn_0o0 I've just republished it I hope this helps! otherwise I'm not too sure my account is just so laggy all the time :(
hi queen
i realise that i have a LOT of silent readers! guys, c'mon i swear i don't bite drop a comment because i love responding to them, or a vote of you're feeling generous >.<
also! the knew TMDD chapter will be up and running at like the end of the week, for some reason this fic is determined to follow me into 2026 aha, but i do very much love writing from jean's pov and will really miss it when it's over. (one and a half chapters to go!)
thanks for the love and patience!
@Miyarura thanks girlie your comments always make my day! TMDD is nearly over and done with and I have SO many ideas for the rest of aphrodisiac stay tuned, or get to know eren in some of my other fics in the meantime <3
Hey everyone, it is with a bit of a heavy heart that I have to admit this, but I am looking to perhaps leaving wattpad/leaving writing sometime next year. When I started I had so much free time to do this, and I joined in that kind of golden age of the instant dopamine rush when everyone was super interactive and the community was quite different than it is now. But currently I don't think that I am able to keep up my consistency, and it really does affect my mental health and fill me with a lot of guilt when I can't update/discontinue stories because I know that I have disappointed readers, and most importantly disappointed myself with what I have failed to achieve.
My life just doesn't really give me the time to be at my best with this, nor will the life changes I will be having the in the future. This does NOT mean I am just going to abandon ship. I am going to try my absolute hardest to finish the stories that I have already started, and this does not mean that I will disappear completely.
My aim is to perhaps move my writing onto somewhere like ao3 or maybe even Tumblr where they can be available for you all to read because I don't want to deprive you all, and perhaps see how I go with that (I will most likely still be on to read and support my lovely mutuals),
Once again, it breaks my heart to have to admit this because there is SO much I wanted to share (side-eyeing that gojoxreaderxnanami great Gatsby style fic in my drafts so hard) and I will definitely never say never because things may change. But I wanted to make you all aware and will obviously update you all before any major changes happen ofc!!
Literally any questions I will try my best to answer but remember to be nice because it is really sad for me to make this decision
All my love,
misty :(
@zaynszlutt thanks girl don't worry I will always remember your support back in my early days and characterxcharacter era! It's been a crazy journey and it's so sad that it will probably be coming to an end but I really have enjoyed it <3
Ohh noo :(( I remember reading ur early storiess back in the days when I had free time too lol. But honestly I get it life gets busy and it’s important to put you first. Good luck with everything girll xx
@inkedconstellations thank you girl this means a lot to me <3 will make it my mission to get through as much as your fic as I can before I leave </3
Chapter 28 of TMDD is up! As well as an explanation/ apology for not updating in so long and a poll! Please show it some love <3
me SPRINTING to finish this next TMDD that's been lingering in my drafts for three months because watching Cynthia Erivo's and Jonathan Bailey's "As Long As Your Mine" version and listening to it on repeat is not enough I need that song in my veins. WHY DOES IT MATCH Y/N AND JEAN SO WELL??
