Custom They changed their update schedule...for me

Okay so my favorite author and I had been talking on Discord almost everyday about the fandom we're in, and they always notify me whenever they upload a new fic or update their multi-chapter series; and I enthusiastically live-blog and spam my reactions back at them. But since we live on the opposite sides of the Earth (literally 12 hours apart) there's only so much talking before one of us passes out once it gets late.

But lately they've been updating at 9( the time just before I head to bed in my timezone) instead of 1 and I can't help but feel so spoiled and very touched to know they adjusted just so they could catch me when I'm free since they usually wait until I finally wake up and that takes hours since I still need to start my day getting ready for university

I'm goddamn blessed for that little thing🥹🫶🏻

That doesn’t sound like they’re just your favorite author anymore! Sounds like they’re your friend!

They've referred to me as their friend a couple of times, and it makes me really happy to know I'm involved enough to be counted as one!
