Stayed up way too late marathoning Lion's route yesterday (my first!) and just totally marvelling at these lovely characters and trying to understand the mysteries of this world you created and loving every minute of it. Funnily enough, I'm not the type to get emotional over IFs at all but for some reason coming upon Robin playing with the slinky by themselves away from everyone in the semi-dark made me have to stop reading and collect myself, maybe because I've got half a decade on them and was already sorta feeling protective of them from the get go as someone who remembers being that age but who has also made it out to the other side, so to speak. Anyway, you're phenom at endearing your characters to the reader, including non-ROs, big kudos to you! On to the next route I go!

I'm horrid at reviews but I loved Inverness Nights too much not to review it! Started it during a night of insomnia when I couldn't get myself to pay attention to anything and the writing hooked me straight away; I have a lot of love for the little, hard-hitting lines like, "Alas silenced every possible meeting this dress could've had."
I ended up doing several runs back-to-back and was really surprised at the amount of content I completely missed my first playthrough (my personality is relatively closer to Tris compared to the other characters so I ended up playing him as an unmitigated prideful loner the first time around lol). Having him listen to Shell's advice more in other runs seemed to allow him and those around him to show a bit more vulnerability, which was incredibly heartwarming, and the end of that one scene where Alas and Shell both leave Tris and he expresses how tired he is of being scared (of being "caught") was really emotional for me.
Big, big thank you to the talented dev team for this gem!
Edit: just realized you're involved with Catacomb Prince, another fave. You're too powerful.
