I got a lovely comment on we get dark, only to shine from a person who mentioned crying at Jeronima's death and then wished me well generally. It's ... :')

(For context: we get dark, only to shine is the longest and most #problematic of my longfics, an AU of The Borgias that brings in as many historical details as I could unearth and weave in without breaking the show's canon. Jeronima is a not-quite-OC; Jerònima de Borja/Girolama Borgia was a real person, but I make her Rodrigo's niece instead of his daughter, move her death to a later date, and manufactured her personality and history out of nothing except my own purposes. So I'm quite touched when people care about the subplot that turns on her death, and about her death scene in particular.)

An anon on Tumblr said:

I've been rereading wgdots cause i wanted to immerse myself in your story again, and I got to the chapter where jeronima passes away, and I basically burst into tears. Not only is that chapter as beautifully written as the others, but my dad had passed away a only few years ago from cancer, and the way you wrote isabel and lucrezia made me think of the day he died, and i couldnt help to start to cry. Your writing is powerful, and while it brought back painful memories, I love it so much ❤️

I replied:

Oh, thank you very much! I’m very sorry about your father.
