Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. The way she referred to him like we refer to God in the Bible... ‘He, Him’... that’s beautiful. He really is her god. Good job!

Exactly! It really gave the Syntec Snakes a bit more depth as well. Nelson is the Snake in the Garden of Eden, so to speak.

Holy cow. My heart is hurting for this girl who is so caught up in Nelson’s web. I was shouting at the screen for Nelson to shut up and for Autumn to see through his “dearest Autumn” tactics. So wonderfully written and so wonderfully thought out. Hats off to you Nyx! 🫡

He's such a manipulator, but he does it in such a charming way.

damn that's amazing :D I think Autumn was captured perfectly in her "love" towards Sythus :D

This was beautiful. Like a character piece. I personally found Autumn a slightly shallow character, but this, I wanted her to succeed, I felt so sad when Syphus was disappointed. I loved the little details, how she mimicked his speech, how she changed her "juvenile" apartment, and how He, Him, and His were capitalized. My favorite thing about this is for me, this gave the ending of Season 4 so much more impact and heightened the season as a whole. Maybe this is bad, but I'm happy she fulfilled her promise. This is a masterpiece.

wow this story is powerful you could feel Autumn's emotions and how she wanted to please Nelson, but you can also see Autumn is torn between doing what is right and what is wrong. You can also see Nelson as a someone who does not want to get his hands dirty and how he expects others to listen to him and do what he wants done even it means killing someone. Looking forward to the next story. Great job on these stories.
