Oh my god this is everything. And of course i fall for the emotionally constipated one. Absolute sucker for childhood friends to lovers especially with some angst/estrangement in between. Being fed this very well in IFs lately. But I still beg for more. Thank you for this meal. And omg best dads. They love their little freak child so much. 😭
Also absolutely amazing chronic illness MC that made me feel really seen as someone who has flare ups but can be pretty self sufficient most of the time. I actually happen to be reading this with a slightly dislocated shoulder due to my illness and felt so ironic when the MC got one. I just need a grumpy guard dog swordsman to take care of me in real life too please? 😆 and a healer like Rune would not go amiss... nor would a ride of a big fluffy demigod wolf. Also, as a cult survivor Zahn warms and breaks my heart. Such amazing characters and world. Thank you so much. I love it.
