that's not the wrinkle I was thinking about, though, because the real meat of the conversation is trying to figure out what happens to #thomato in this AU because they had just started officially dating when Thoma ended up in the Fatui. Thoma gets PTSD, yes, but what happens to Ayato?
#Contracelestiae

a lot of the #thomato I write is basically Thoma baiting Ayato into initiating something because Ayato is otherwise too dense and oblivious to his own feelings to actually start anything. god bless Thoma and his godly patience. if Ayato were in his shoes, he probably would've just gone for it (he wouldn't actually)

first off, Tie Me Down by Gryffin is #thomato to me from Thoma's POV of being sick of Ayato's pathetic pining bullshit. my Ayato is a little pathetic: he's aware of literally everyone else's emotions except his own, and especially unaware of his romantic feelings. pining ensues. Thoma, on the other hand, is well aware of his feelings, but feels it's a little improper of him to actually make the first move since Ayato is his superior and all.
