you can tell by the way that i absolutely devoured this - I LOVED it and didn't want it to ever end ;;;;

Spoiler

raise a hand if you also sobbed because you realized that no one will ever love you as much as frances janvier and aled last love each other?? no??? just me????

AND the fact that their r/s was kept platonic was SO so refreshing!! people ARE getting tired of boy/girl romances, aled, and you should SPEAK ON IT!!!! i just loved how their friendship blossomed, how they became each other's solace and safe space, how they just. got each other instantly. it's so so beautiful. and i'm so glad i got to experience it.

jsyk i've adopted all of these kids and i'm making sure they're all happy and thriving thanku
