    Oh no, a wall of text! Whatever shall I do, but thank you much for your kind review?

    Yes, that poor gull 😆

    Scotty is really struggling here. This is my version of young AOS Scotty’s history. His mother had the same mental health struggles he did, leaving him with his grandmother. Who was just as ill-equipped to deal with it in her grandson and she was with her daughter. (She … tried. She didn’t do so well.) He was a young savant at university, not really in the care of anyone, just as he fell apart, and he nearly ended himself. He’s marginally better here, but is back in a similar situation and isn’t doing great. He’s honestly just a kid still over his head. The medicine is what he needs to be on, but he’s sick enough and young enough that it’s heavy.

    Corry actually belongs to Steff/SLWalker. He is her OC from
    her lengthy backstory of TOS Scotty. He is hugely impactful and completely delightful in her stuff, and I wanted AOS Scotty to meet him in his universe as well. That meeting, and the way it changes Scotty’s melancholy here, was a delight to write.

    And absolutely a crush here. Don’t be afraid to read the sequels, one by Steff and another by me. There is a bit of heavy, but mostly joy, and definitely ending on joy.

    Thank you so much for your delightful review! Absolutely made my morning.
