It has come to my attention (5 years after the last chapter was published because I’m as quick like that) that this blog is being recced in El Maestro y El Toro on AO3.
I do not endorse that work, it’s rather weird and cringey. I did not help making that work, I did not talk to the author in any vicinity, did not check their work until actually today.
I would not like to be linked with this work at all.
