I know what you mean about coming back years later and finding a handful of new fics. If only the authors were active when I was, we could have cheered each other on and fed each other's obsession ;_;

Go you for writing a multi-chaptered fic for an anime rarepair! I understand about it feeling exciting and lonely to create on your own, and it's very joyful when the excitement from having a new obsession can sustain creative energies at the start.
