So I'm kind of done with anything resembling meta or analysis because 5.22 wrung me out like a sponge, and I'm mostly avoiding the fic tags because cannot really deal, but I keep seeing that awesome people have written them and somehow I am magnetically compelled. Like yours, for instance. You are so terse and succinct and don't try to make anything better, and that makes it better. Like ripping off a bandaid or setting a bone all at once. I don't know. Thank you.

Oh, and. Line that hit me hardest:

You're okay. You can do this. You can do this, so you're okay.
