    Bookmarker's Notes

    I am not at all good with vocalizing how I feel so I will just say that this fic is absolutely a-may-zing and I had a devastatingly good time reading it in like a day because it was just SO, so, so immersive. The author is SO articulate, just Grian's thought processes and ruminations had me wanting more and they take like a solid half or more than a half of the total word count.

    It was more than just a mystery thriller, it was tear-jerking and it was powerful - I did not expect the story to be as intricate as it was - it was like grief and love and hate painted with words.

    My heart legit aches after reading this because I can't even let this go even though the whole premise IS a very defeated, mentally-suppressed Grian finally letting go; burning Scar's 'empty' letter, going to the pub and drinking tea again and even going to France. That blumming song as well, 'Les Feuilles Mortes', will inevitably come back in my life in passing and I will just start sobbing, like no way bro.

    Being a reader of a very thoughtful and psychological book is such exposure, being part of a detective story means you are also trying to work things out along with the protagonist but really this time, it was navigating through emotions; a lost love. This fic has literally changed me, the FACT they both sort of vitalised each other IN A WAY? Scar giving him a high that Grian's detective work usually gave him back when he was in Germany or just to bury his still-aching love for Scar, thinking he's only set this game to taunt Grian for it and Scar's version of his own game ultimately set out to profuse a sick but genuine love for Grian. DUDE. In a way, the back and forth was really just the meaning behind the metaphor of their dance in Scar's café; Grian slipping at times and stepping on Scar's toes at first was him losing to Scar, having loved ones be killed but when he REALLY got into it, when he really started putting the emotion into it like Scar had told him 3 years ago, confronting the burning love he once had for him, only then did Scar truly fall. The author is a genius. How can I set this as the standard for my own writing because it is SO HIGH, I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE IT. I have never seen a one-sided attraction/obsession so clearer and more nuanced in my life. I want this forever ingrained in my brain.

    Also Grian literally got his favourite memory of Scar singing/humming come true with Scar singing to him again towards the end when he was dying, CAN YOU IMAGINE. And Scar's backstory was so rotten, getting to know him through his lens/perspective was so beautifully executed, it wasn't like any other exploration of a (fictional) serial killer's mind I'd ever seen before. All the symbolism as well, had me gushing my heart out; the leather boots, Grian's bike, coffee, green envelopes, Grian's scar, hearts/heartbeats or pulses, and of course the Watcher's eyes. All rounded up to be just a really satisfying (not to mention it is SO intense, stakes were HIGH) and heart-wrenching, tragic but soft fic that left me as a shell of my former shell before reading it (in a good way) and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat (hah) so thank you so much author for making this.

    And an ode to this quote; 'I loved you enough to forget the monster that I was. And for that I am truly sorry.' Beautiful, just beautiful mate! (Also R.I.P Mumbo, I at least took a break reading once I learnt that he was dead, Christ that made me livid)

    There's also a song that I kept on loop while reading and it fits the story so well in my opinion; 'Moth Touch' by Maple Bee (I can't listen to it now or my heart will explode)

    Soap is physically affectionate by nature.

    Ghost is not.

    Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.

    Insanely good, I loved being Ghost here and just being inside his mind all the time - all his inner dialogue just adds to the absolute charm this fic has, and the language, the scenes, the atmosphere, I'm nyamin' it all

    I will definitely miss reading this for the first time in the next coming weeks ffs

    Summary

    Jimmy catches his wrist. Tango flinches, expecting a yelp, some kind of recoil, but the world is still, and Tango watches, wide-eyed as Jimmy guides his gloved palm to his lips. The kiss is feather-light and lingering, and Tango’s throat tightens around everything he thinks. That that was a dumb move, that he could have burned Jimmy again, that the well of heat inside of him feels so very close to boiling over, and yet Jimmy is holding him anyway. He thinks he might shatter if Jimmy stops.

    Or;

    The ache in Tango's shoulders isn't quite what he believes.

    Genuinely has the best characterisation I've read in a hot minute

    Close enough, welcome back Romeo and Juliet

    Summary

    Bike purring, nerves reeling, Grian’s fingers rested unsteadily on the throttle. His bike bucked with the impatience of a racehorse ready to tear free of the derby gates. 

    “Racers, ready?” 

    Finally, he opened his eyes.

    What can I say except I fucking love birrdie's works, and this was phenomenal and I want more and that I felt absolute euphoria when I read 'wispy leather-swathed blonde' and pieced together that Grian hit Tango and that Jimmy was going to be in-between a blood feud and I just. . . I JUUUUUUUUUUSTTTTTTTTTT

    Grian's characterisation here was also bonkers, it was incredibly good - the family dynamic is always on point too and the symbolism is off the charts as always!

    Summary

    Neteyam's little classifications made it easy for him to know how to interact with his hosts and most of all how to keep his siblings in check in any and every situation.

    Except he hadn't taken into consideration the ability of his brother to spread disaster wherever he went.
