my @nagamas gift for my good pal @siraranispleased! i’ll skip the excuses for how last-minute i finished and simply apologize for the wait and thank you for your patience. i was really jazzed to be matched with you and the second i saw your prompt “Leonie/Marianne, Marianne opening up about herself more and more, to the point where Leonie can start to lean on her for advice and support as well.” i knew that was the one i had to go with, these girls deserve all the love in the world. i think it’d be sweet if they’d had an A-support in which marianne approaches leonie to talk just like leonie encouraged her too, but this time it’s about how marianne worries about leonie too, and leonie can in turn open up about her own insecurities over fitting in and keeping pace even with her common background. though the lives they’ve led have been very different, marianne knows a thing or two about feeling alienated, and she reassures leonie just as leonie reassured her that day back in the greenhouse. perhaps part of that feeling of belonging they were looking for is with each other, hm?
