Yesterday, I accidentally spilled coffee on the guy my parents are pushing on me. He got so angry he shoved me; I dropped the pot and hit my head on the floor. I was kept at the hospital overnight. He told my mother I fell and she fully believes him. He raises his voice a lot, too. I was confined overnight and I now have bruises. Guess this is karma for existing. Wish I had Lin around ala-Adam's Rib. Sometimes escaping through literature will have to do.

Hey, friend, so first of all I’m glad that you came and talked to us about this because it’s important that you talk about it. We both hate that you’re in this situation with our entire hearts and although we know we can’t do much, we want you to know that we’re here and we care about you. 

You deserve more than to be treated this way by anyone and I’m sorry that your mother doesn’t believe you, but you have to do what’s best for you to keep yourself safe and out of harm’s way. I know that you know this already and I know it’s not that simple, and I also know I’m not an expert. 

However, I’m going to give you some resources that might be more helpful:

National Domestic Violence Hotline (USA): 1-800-799-7233
National Dating Abuse Helpline:  1-866-331-9474 (click the link to chat via text rather than phone)
Safe Horizon violence hotline: 800-621–HOPE (4673).
Safe Horizon - For help with sexual assault: 212-227-3000.
TDD machine for hearing impaired people for all Safe Horizon hotlines: 866-604-5350.
this is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 (and there’s also a place to chat on their website if you aren’t into making phone calls)
I know these are all USA based, so here is a website that has places to call internationally: http://togetherweare-strong.tumblr.com/helpline

We love you, keep fighting

oh hey guess what so like @ourforgottenboleros becca helped me write this song and we did this and I’m sorry for my lame recording but this is about Adam’s Rib a little backstory: we wrote this song way before the actual writing of the story happened. this was entirely an idea, and we ran with it, and this came about. which is funny bc it turned into so many more things (that you may or may not see in the future who knows), but we wrote the special things backwards. this was before we had any metaphors or concepts in our head and that’s funny to me bc we didn’t know exactly what would happen with Adam’s Rib. we just knew the endgame. this was the endgame. the story unfolded from there. 

so yeah dudes that’s it like lyrics under the cut bc yeah

okok i have a question. I want to reread WYCH, but idk what order to read it in. Would you say read in the order is was published, or 12 days first, or 12 days last, or what??? what do you guys think?

OKAY 

so the way we’d recommend reading it (and feel free to disagree this is just our personal preference) would be in the following order:

- part one
- part two
- 12 days (in the order posted)
- part three
- epilogue

THANK YOU FOR ASKING AND THANKS FOR READING IT (again??? oh my goodness??? that’s blowing our minds???) WE LOVE YOU ENJOY

OML I JUST FINISHED ADAM'S RIB AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS THAT LONG 😫😫 IT WAS SO GOOD I'M SPEECHLESS. Did you say it goes on for decades after this? Did I read that answer right? Cuz if that's the case then I need to know what happens next and I need to know NOW

HELLO YES WE CAN’T BELIEVE IT WAS THAT LONG EITHER THAT WAS NEVER OUR INTENTION.

we don’t have stuff written for the following decades but we have most certainly talked about them like endlessly. my dude we’d for sure tell you about stuff if you’ve got specific questions but trying to piece it all down into one answer would be more than you’d want from us i promise you lmao

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH WE LOVE YOU A WHOLE LOT

as a domestic abuse survivor, it's INCREDIBLY rare for me to find fics that include it that doesn't come off as cheesy or feel like that struggle is being used for the #angst factor. like, reading it was incredibly difficult for me cause it was just so... incredibly well written. i had to put it down a few times to like, calm down, but it was so good regardless. and i'm still kinda crying because damn... the happy ending was a nice lil escapism factor.

i’m gonna not yell because i want you to know how absolutely genuine i’m being when i say this message means the world to us. first of all, we’re both crazy proud of you for sharing your story with us and also for having the strength and courage to survive a situation like that–like we have an insane amount of respect for you so just know that right off the bat.

also, we just want to say thank you??? for taking the time to come tell us this??? we’re honestly so floored and so honored that you’d say all this like i’m speechless i don’t know how to thank you but THANK YOU.

we love you a whole lot and appreciate you and hope you’re doing well YOU’RE AMAZING, FRIEND. NEVER FORGET THAT.

Omg so Adams Rib was amazing. I finished it a few days ago (after desperately refreshing the Lin x reader tag every six hours in case you'd updated) and I just wanted to say as someone who is a recovering alcoholic it was super well done and really accurate and good and I'm super glad I read it. Honestly I didn't think WYCH could be beat, but you did it! Can't wait for the next one!

So we've been staring at this ask for like, days now because

1. we honestly cannot believe you think this?? like it's so shocking for us to even dare to think that we did this justice like we were honestly afraid that we might ruin it entirely

2. we've been crying for days bc of this like legitimate tears oh my god

3. WE'RE SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT OH MY GOODNESS DID WE MENTION THAT WE'RE CRYING BC WE'VE BEEN CRYING REAL HUMAN TEARS DUDE

holy moly thank you so much for this, this seriously means the world to us. (honestly we yelled about this ask for a couple hours when we first saw it like?????? we're so touched???? we're so happy we portrayed it accurately oh my god and we're so glad you enjoyed it!!

we are not worthy of this kindness you're legit too sweet thank you so much friend we love you endlessly

p.s. we just wanted to say that we are incredibly proud of you, friend. we truly are. you are so strong and incredible, thank you for being an inspiration to us and others. we love you, pal, and we're truly so very proud of you.

how do you decide who writes what scene? I'm asking because I tried to collab with someone and we couldn't decide who would be better at writing other things

WHAT A GOOD QUESTION HOLY MOLY

um honestly, a lot of it just had to do with moments when the other was just like “hey dude i’m legitimately stuck and i don’t know where this is going anymore.” we really didn’t decide who writes what based on our strengths and weakenesses. i think we pretty much just trusted each other to write what the other believed was relevant and essential to the plot.

like sometimes, we just passed the torch to each other mid-scene/mid-conversation because we didn’t really know how to continue. basically we had the meat of the plot figured out before we ever started writing and then just kept bouncing it back and forth between us until there was a Thing. stuff changed as we went of course but like we just knew the other had it handled when we passed it off.

it also helps to write with someone that shares the same brain lmao

you know two writers work well together when you cant tell whose writing is whose.

fun fact: we genuinely can’t remember who wrote what at this point. 

also fun fact: we passed off the writing to each other mid scene and mid dialogue constantly for AR. it’s a miracle that anything has any sort of fluency.

Just when I thought When You Come Home was the absolute best piece of writing, you two proved me wrong with this new one. I'm so blown away by Adam's Rib! I thought for sure there would be something to hold us over while we waited between parts like what you did with 12 days but I'm still so pleased with how the plot turned out. Thank you for being such magnificent writers and sharing your minds with us!

we’re both blown away that you would say this tbh like thank you???? so much??? it means a whole lot like genuinely from the bottom of our hearts wOW.

also oh my goodness dude if we had done another 12 days type deal this fic would literally be like 130k… no joke. WE JUST WANTED TO SAVE YOU FROM HAVING TO DEAL WITH THAT. THE FACT THAT THE FIC ALONE WAS OVER 90K WAS BAD ENOUGH.

(we love you so much thank you friend

You guys have no idea how much it means to me that Adam's Rib perfectly described the struggles I've been facing lately. I cried during the third part because it was all so real. Thank you for this, thank you for everything you write

Avatar

We’re so glad you were able to find a bit of reprieve in our story, and we’re so sorry to hear that you’re going through a rough patch right now, but please remember that it’s gonna be okay. Just hold on tight, friend. You’ll be just fine.

Thank you so much for this kind message, it seriously means so much to us.

Keep your chin up, pal. It’ll be a-okay.

I have so many questions about how you guys create such elaborate masterpieces as a collaboration!! I'm sorry because you've probably answered a lot of q's like this before, but if possible could you walk through how you came across something like WYCH or Adam's rib? Do you guys even physically know each other? Or all digital correspondance? How do you capture such lengthly yet swift metaphors which stretch over chapters and decide on plot and characters? Howww😍

HEY DUDE. YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND WE HAVE ANSWERS.

To save characters in this message, I just sent an ask containing all my HIGHEST praise for Adam (it was hard to limit that alone), but had to ask in retrospect - was I simply too damn invested (trust, I was hyperventilating at times) to notice the signature GTNW catch phrase? Cus if it's there, I'm MORE than willing to go look for it, just don't feel like tracking it down if it isn't actually there😅 OR if not, is that a hint at the prospect of an epilogue? Or will you truly leave us hangin??

my dude we are cackling over this message holy moly we love it

the GTNW is there… just in spirit. I’M JUST AS DISAPPOINTED IN US AS YOU ARE THAT WE DIDN’T INCLUDE IT SORRY DUDE. but listen listen listen like they’re all a team and look at all the nice work they did huh? yeah? okay? can you feel me reaching?

(there is def no epilogue despite the fact that we have this universe planned out for decades past this fic i’m sorry my dude)

GO TEAM NICE WORK WE LOVE YOU
