from the intro i was already so pumped for this one. and goddddd it hit. i loved the formatting, i loved the slow vibes of it, i loved the exploration of axels character through mullens perception. ‘you dont take a man who has nightmares of burning to death and tell him to go fight fires’ made me hhhh. this was really gorgeous, and thoughtful, and is really just sitting with me now ive finished it. wow
