So, it’s here. The end. I vividly remember shouting ideas about this with you on discord. It was a long time ago. Like 1992, I think? I was five. This fic went from an idea that I was like, “LOL WELL THAT WON’T HAPPEN, BUT IT SURE SEEMS FUN,” to a fic that was HAPPENING to a fic that is probably my favorite of all time? Which is funny because most fics that have the same elements would be *skim for porn* type fics for me. But you made the skimming parts actual porn. Like mental cake porn. I can’t believe I’m emotional about a fic. @sheisraging this fic is so good. And you are so talented. And I hope you know I mean that more than you can ever imagine. The only reason I’m able to be writing the fic I am now is because I respect you so much as a writer that you saying, “THAT’S GOOD,” is enough to keep me going. Because you’ve also written my favorite E/O fic (link here for bitches not in the know.)Thank you for writing this. Thank you for taking the time to make it perfect. Thank you for making me hungry. Thank you for literally making it seem like you might actually be Hot Ruby because what the fuck how do you know so much about baking? Can I come live in your tiny kitchen? Thanks. I don’t take up much space. Thank you. This fic is beautiful and you should be immensely proud of it. And now I’m going to go read the last chapter while I sob in the parlor. Thank you isn’t enough. Ugh. This fic is so good. I love you. I will occupy @sheisraging ‘s kitchen with you @bartbarthelme!We can get drunk and yell at Rae to bake us things!This fic was a highlight of my Thursdays and I am sad that it is over but glad I can now read it over and over. Also it just gave me an idea *runs away*I JUST READ AND I AM SCREAMING AND CRYING AND I LOVE IT OH MY GOD I’M ON MY WAY GET YOUR FLOUR AND SUGAR OUT, BITCHI’M COMING TO CRASH THIS KITCHEN OCCUPATION PARTY!I am truly truly smitten with how sweet the ending of this fic is after all these weeks of sweetness and cream (heh… ).This story has been keeping my spirits up through a really difficult period of personal (and global) upheaval, and while I am honestly quite sad that it’s over now, it’s ending at a time when I’m in a better personal place. All of this makes it feel like this story (and Rae, by extension) has legit kept me company and seen me through Some Things. And while I know this pairing/this universe may need to go quiet, that in no way diminishes how much I’ve enjoyed the hell out of this sweet little space.I love, I love, I love. An honest-to-goodness Showstopper of a fic. -- source link
