Original fiction rec: Waking up

[yuuago]

Finally got around to reading the fic that kiraly wrote for Jukebox Exchange: Waking Up. Man, is it ever good!

It's basically original fiction, written using a song as a prompt. Go read it if you like post-apocalyptic settings, science fiction, and cyborgs. The header info makes it sound kind of dark, and while there is some of that, it's also pretty hopeful, and I really love the characters and the relations that developed between them. It's post-apoc, sure, but it's also rather cozy. (Also, it's tagged "pre-OT3" - mate, please tell me you plan to write a sequel in which this happens, I will love you forever and ever. :D )

Link and Ao3 header details as follows:

Eeeee thanks for the write-up! It's so nice to see people enjoying this story.

And as for "Pre-OT3", let's say if I write more I hope to get there? Originally it was supposed to be F/F but as I was writing it I started to realize that I loved all three of them together, I really couldn't pick just one relationship. Aaaaand then it kind of...ended up not getting into very romantic territory, haha. Too many action scenes needed to happen (who even am I, that I wrote a story with all the action and couldn't find a way to work in kissing?) Hopefully I can find a way to take it there, I really do want to write more with these three. :)

:D Makes sense enough. WELL if you ever do more with it, at least you know you'll have an audience. xD
