I'm really glad it has that tone! I think I used to strive really hard to make my writing sound well. intellectual. But now I'm more into how fairytales/modern works are written so this was a really nice compliment to hear! :'') I pushed the comparisons to stories (stone soup, diamonds and toads, the sandman, goldilocks, eyc) a LOT while writing this which was surprisingly hard but really fun!

I'm sometimes worried I just beat up Gwen for no reason so this fic was an excuse for me to finally figure out how her relationship with her family sort of devolved over time. Unfortunately, it seems like it's mostly natural and just a lot of pent up resentment that furthered their hostility. I get too sad with Gwen which is!! oh no but I want to give her a happy ending. Also idk how the sandman got here I guess I just accidentally made him important B)
