If you are even mildly interested in #steddyhands and you enjoy longform fic, I hope you might give this a shot now that it's complete. It's pretty different from a lot of the steddyhands that i've read. The focus is on very slow burning character growth and romance, healing trauma and bringing about healthier dynamics for these boys. ALL of them have lessons to learn, and the journey is not linear.
It is very #edizzy focused, as stede doesn't even appear until a third of the way through.
If you do give it a shot, thank you so much! This is the longest single fic by a single author in the ofmd fandom on Ao3, and i am so humbled by anyone attempting to read it all 😅
This final art (not the only art in the fic) is by @neo__pessimist 💖
