Thank you so much! That's so kind of you!
I had a lot of fun writing Robin too haha, especially in Refrain. I became very fond of him, I think his internal narration is kind of endearing despite all of the bad things he has done haha
And I like Bell a lot too, she was also an interesting character to write about! This story is very dark but I did have fun with it, I wrote the first draft of the script pretty quickly.
And Ashes can be read on its own. Scars is a 'what-if' spinoff which happens like 70% of the way into Ashes's timeline. Ashes is a complete story on its own, so if you're not too into BL you can skip Scars and not miss too much (though I am very fond of it).
