This was so sad and cute at the same time

part of me likes to think that he actually liked him back and just didn't want to say it but the other part of me knows that's not the case...

noo that was so sad... :( not to mention sorrel already had low self esteem about being a "lame mushroom fairy" 

i hope he has a happy life

Hi yes, I did not expect to be hurt this way. Sorrellllll aaaa he was such a champ, even though he wanted to confess his feelings to Aster and wanted him to stay, Sorrel knew that it was wrong and instead of potentially hurting Aster by saying those words, he focused on encouraging Aster-- AAAA Man that was such a bittersweet story and amazing art (especially the background like holy shit). The writing was also sad, especially with how much Sorrel was feeling, aaaa I hope Sorrel can be able to move on, especially since he genuinely loves Aster more than anything.

Awww... so sweet! I loved this story. I know it's odd, but so much of the story and situation reminded me of my own team's o2a2 jam entry, except yours is so lovely and sweet, and ours is incredibly dark and difficult to get through. Thank you for a lovely experiences, beautifully written!

Aw, thanks for playing and leaving a comment. We're glad you enjoyed it! That's pretty cool that our entries are similar but different. We will have to check yours out. Thanks again for the kind words. <3

Awww, I want to write fix-it fanfic for this now ;_;

I'm sure he'll fall for you too Sorell! You just need to be more open and flirt with him!! He's probably even already in love with you and neither of you manage to say anything!!!


I really like Aster's design and would definitely be keen to see more stories in this setting.

Aw, if you do end up writing something I'd love to read it. 

Thank you! We're happy to hear you like his design. :D
