not a favorite from this author. it wasn't bad or anythting, but it also lacked a certain oomph. it didnt have as much plot as i would have liked. there were interesting things happening in te background that never got touched in a way i would have enjoyed. ultimately, it kind of felt like the first draft of the first half of a longer, better fic.
still, its the only thing ive read this year, lmao. so thats something. <3
Description:
Nolan doesn’t want to open TikTok yet, likes to give it some time after he posts a new video. He feels too anxious and weirdly vulnerable, too exposed if he watches the responses come through in real time. So instead he burrows down into his air mattress, finishes the episode of the hunting podcast he was listening to on the drive in then another full one after that.
He thinks about just going to sleep, making himself wait until morning to check the app, but.
It’s been more than two hours since he posted – he’s sure Travis has seen it by now.
He picks up his phone, scrolls through his notifications. The response is good, which he expected – he’s been doing this long enough now that he has more of a feel for it, and he knows everyone loves the clear lakes where you can see the bottom, and everyone loves when he films at sunrise or sunset.
It’s nice, obviously – it’s cool knowing there’s this little group of people out there that appreciate what he’s been doing, for the same reasons he does – but there’s really just one person whose response he’s particularly interested in, at the moment.
And there he is in Nolan’s inbox, just like usual – @TKthree11.
