Work Text:

If I need you for survival, it’s a deadly curse.
For ali - who I won in an exchange a year ago today 💙 the story and the characters captured my heart and mind, but you were the true gift. Thank you for sharing your wicked humour and boundless enthusiasm and generosity, kindness and warmth with me over the past year, as well as your immense creative talent... and for artfully avoiding spoilers for the Novel while I constantly shook you down for tidbits about the F&F world. TRUE SKILL 😂 I'm grateful every day to have you as a friend, and look forward to many more years of embarrassing us both in public like this. <3
I think about Gab's decision to leave Hugo for dead a lot... and Hugo's response effectively being a sternly-worded letter. Sir, I love them.
