anything for you my dear ❤ from this post!
3. Which part of [title] was hardest to write?
Definitely Nott getting beaten up by the guards. That was brutal. And even though it felt necessary for the story, it still hurt to write.
8. Which came first, the title or the fic?
The title! I was kind of thinking about slurs and reclaiming slurs and stuff, and I started thinking about how Nott might feel about being called a monster/the term of affection that is ‘little monster’
10. What are some facts readers may not know about [title]?
Since I wrote it before we got Caleb’s backstory (welp) I had the headcanon that Caleb had lost his loved ones in a fire started by the Empire’s armies. They’re the Helene, Mathilda and Luisa. I soooort of headcanoned Caleb as bi in that – with Helene as his wife. But now I think I lean more towards gay for Caleb.
Also, we know what happened with the backstory…
thank you for the ask!
