[Insert Hopeless Lesbian Blubbering And Squeeing Here]

I have to do more words to post the comment, but no words can quite encompass this story's meanings. The things behind this, the raw emotions you've put to type and imagery. Goodness, gosh and heck and golly.

I think that's enough for the comment bot. So instead for the most important words I could say.

There's nothing missing here.

Not to discredit your story or anything, but how is this featured when fimfic is saying it has 0 views and 7 likes?

That is super weird. The story is only 20 minutes old or so. Not nearly long enough to compile any sort of meaningful statistics. And only 1 comment at time of feature, so interaction was very low.

Still, excellent story! Very heartfelt.

The feature box works by heat, and as far as we can tell, heat's calculated by comments, likes, and views. It also takes total time it's existed into account; new stories generate heat faster than stories that have been up for a while, and longer fics (up to 10k words, I think) gain heat easier than shorter ones. It looks like, as of now, my fic's gotten 9 likes (and 1 dislike... why??? Does someone not like romance/LyraBon, or is it fanreader999999's automatic downvote?), 35ish views, and has been up for under an hour. It's doing pretty well, all things considered! Now take into account that most of the stuff in the feature box has been there for a day, and most big stories don't update on Fridays because it's one of the worst days of the week to post new fics, and... there you go! No hacks required, just luck and kind people like you willing to give it a read!

To quote my initial comment from the speedwrite

This story took me for a ride but I loved every minute of it…Gah, there are not enough words to express how much I thoroughly enjoyed this.

And it still holds true. However, I would also like to add; jdhshajashakajaj ahhhh my heaaaart they are so damn cute and in love and, and, ahhhh.

Great job love, as always, I look forward to your next story

Ah I remember this one! I can’t quite remember what I said during the actual speedwrite, but it was probably something along the lines of how unique an idea this is. It’s really cute and I could see this as a very... interesting solution. Nice job!

Okay, this was amazing.
Generally speaking,I am ridiculously wordy and have an outrageously broad vocabulary on tap, but...There really isn't anything else that I care to add besides:

'This is amazing.'

I dunno why Bon bon doesn't want to get married, but this is very sweet.

At first I was under the impression this was going to be a sadness only fic, but at the end I felt like my heart was going to burst. What a thoughtful, powerful expression of love this story is. I'm so happy for Lyra and Bon Bon, and I'm so happy for you two.
