That's really interesting to hear, and yes! I can very much relate to reading things that are not accurate to the boys' personalities. That's most of the reason I love your work, because it's accurate and smart. And also it's very, very well-written all around. And emotionally investing indeed haha. When I start to read, I cannot put it down and it tugs on every single one of my heart strings. Thank you, again, for writing it. I can't even imagine how hard it is on you to write this, since it's coming from your mind. Every time Josh gets emotional my heart breaks but it's 100% worth it and that's another large reason of why I love your works so much. You're so smart and it baffles me how you can piece words together the way you can. You paint a picture with words, only one that can put you inside it and make you really feel it as well.  I read Sanctuary Safe and Strong in about a day and a half because it was just so good and I was hooked on even the first sentence. You're truly incredible. And thank you for the warning. I don't get triggered by most things, it just makes me kind of sad, but like I said it's definitely worth it and I wouldn't change a thing. <33

@marixnastrench I think my ego just inflated by about a thousand percent. haha Thank you SO much. That's incredible.  I very much write for my readers moreso than I've ever written for myself, and it always makes me insanely happy to know that I've written something that seems not only enjoyable, but realistic.  In fact, that's one of the only reasons I ever started writing fanfics.  I got so sick of reading things that were either impossible, or so far removed from who these guys are as people that I might as well have been reading about anyone else.  So, that's kind of the answer to how I "do it". :) I pay close attention to what I'm writing and if I can't see the guys saying or doing something (within reason. There's always a little bit of artistic tweaking when it comes to fanfic writing) "in person"  (in videos, considering I don't know them for real!), then I don't write it.  I've erased a lot of lines and scenes because there's just no way those would have happened. Not with that band. :)   I do my very best when I write! I know celebs don't love having this stuff written about them, so I just figured that if I was actually gonna do it, I'd do it with integrity. haha
          	  
          	  "Emotionally investing," you say? :) Now that's something I haven't quite heard before, but I love it.  I love it SO much.  I can't at all deny it, because I know I've thrown the guys (well...Josh...) into some pretty awful situations.  Just know, though, that as emotional as it was/is for you to read, it was equally hard to write!  Specifically the stories I have that follow song lyrics. Those sort of tear me apart to work on.
          	  
          	  Oh, and a quick warning for you!  Trigger warnings everywhere on almost all of my work. From drugs to alcohol to cutting to suicide attempts to eating disorders, etc...  It's all there.  So please, please be cautious if any of that is something you need to be wary of, okay? :) <3

@Shake_Tramp It's my honest opinion! Your work is amazing and easily the best I've read. I have no idea how you do it! Unlike a lot of things I've read, it was actually realistic, and you completely nailed all their personalities. I truly cant wait to read another one, and I'll need to do it fast since summer is ending and your stories are so emotionally investing. :) Thank you so much for everything!!!
