Remember those Bowsario AUs that I’d written about last year? I put the first one on AO3! I’m doing so partly because I realized that this fic was 3.5k words, so honestly this amount of work deserves to go on the Archive, partly because I’m trying to post at least one fic a month and this is a quick and easy thing to clean up so I can spend the rest of August working on my Sicktember fics, and partly because one of those Sicktember fics is set in this AU, so I wanted the context to be easily accessible.
But yeah, this fic is very “Mario has a bad time and Bowser is also there”, haha. It has some similar emotion writing to Ti voglio tanto bene. It’s a nice space to swirl around in, as I’ve probably said before.
I really love the closing lines for this fic. I’m almost sad that I used it up here, on a glorified outline. Oh, well.
