Me As An Ao3 Reader: I'll Just Leave A Little Comment Saying It Was Good. Don't Want To Creep Them Out

Me as an Ao3 reader: I'll just leave a little comment saying it was good. Don't want to creep them out by being too enthusiastic!

Me as an Ao3 writer: Please tell me my fic destroyed your entire soul. Please tell me I made you cry real tears. Please tell me how absolutely unhinged my writing made you feel.

boss makes a dollar I make a dime that's why I read Minecraft fanfiction on company time

Another one! :D

have been trying to recover for ten minutes after what may be the greatest ao3 typo ive ever read

Small fandoms are great because I'm convinced if I logged in after the nuclear apocalypse, the same 5 fuckers would still be online, posting their headcanons, now slightly more radiated.

Soft Gestures for Comfort

Bringing them a blanket when they’re curled up on the couch.

Whispering, "It’s okay, I’m here," when they wake up from a bad dream.

Stroking their hair gently when they’re lying on your lap.

Running a warm bath for them after a tough day.

Holding them close and saying, "I’ve got you," when they’re upset.

Preparing their favorite comfort food when they’re feeling low.

Turning off their alarm and letting them sleep in when they’re exhausted.

Reading their favorite book to them before bed.

Playing their favorite soothing music to help them relax.

Just sitting in silence with them, letting them know your presence is their safe space.
