friday.

Yesterday was awful. Today has been pure recuperation with a side of awful, but I just got the most amazing comment on my fic, Humility, and that has lifted my spirits a little.

It's from the author of the only other Manon/Marguerite fic that's available on AO3. The fic that has inspired my own fic for the sole reason that I can't read it, since it's in... Russian, I think.

Well, they praised the work I've done with this fic and they really, really liked it, summing up exactly every little detail and aspect that I had hoped would come across to the reader. I was so ecstatic. Probably rambled on a little too much in my reply, but I was just so incredibly happy that this exact person found this fic, because they inspired it. Without their Manon/Marguerite piece, my fic would never have been written.

And now I feel inclined to write more Manon/Marguerite fic. I just need to rewatch a version of the ballet, and heavens, does that require spoons right now. Spoons I don't have. So it'll have to wait.

But this literally made my day. That was all.
