Just call me AJ

This is so sad. Alexa, play Francesca by Hozier

Avior my beloved 💖💖💖

Mimble

I'm genuinely so nervous-

DaniiBirb

Oh...oh Avior honey..

ScreamingPeregrine

Me, who had an odd attachment to the Meridian, now scared of the Meridian

Saya

Oh man, Erik you never cease to amaze with this emotional work! I was bawling listening to him tell his story! And the ending omg I am sooooo excited for the next installment

Angel

My jaw is on the floor!!! Mainly bc that is where I have dropped down to sob uncontrollably 🤩🤩🤩

Well, I guess I'm not gonna sleep after all. I do love getting a new chapter, and 46 minutes? I'll soak it up like sunlight, darlin. Let's go! ... What a stellar plot twist! the idea of the meridian being sentient in some respect is fascinating. And the idea that Avior has only been callous and sarcastic trying to protect Starlight from his own feelings is validating. No one wants to like a character with no redemption arc. My take is now that Starlight is some relation to the original weavers of the meridian, and it is trying to connect with them so that they can help repair/save it. Avior's 'bubble' where he is entrapped is there because the meridian is damaged and the combination of him trying to rift while in contact with Starlight stuck it all together. I'm very excited to follow along with this and see if I've got the right idea or I need to lay off the white claw... time will tell!

Litlkim

This is beyond “doing it justice” This is going to blow everyone away later today ❤️ Incredible!

Othello

I'll just sit here for a bit with these feelings, thank you.

Whistler

I'll come clean as well- I didn't tear up or cry during Inversion, as tragic as it may have been. I did, however, literally cry when Avior was explaining how alone he felt watching Starlight slip through his fingers without him, leaving him behind all by himself and hurt. Ouch..

Whistler

Oh also the Meridian being this vengeful and twisted, sentient sort of entity??? THATS HORRIFYING.

Doctor Bitchcraft

Wooooooow! I've been on the edge of a panic attack and needing to cry for several hours. This got me right where I needed to be let those tears flow! Stellar work, as always. Thank you, Erik 😭💖

GravityRose

Wow! Just wow! Thank you…wow

Ollie

No. Baby I would DIE for you. MI AMOR I LOVE YOU BABY. pain. So much pain

Schmerbs

Wowee, this tugged on the ol' heartstrings. Amnesia storylines always always break my heart - it's just such a terrifying awful thought; the person you love completely forgetting you? Chriiiist that's such a devastating thought. Incredible job as always.

Holly Lynn

I'm speechless 😭 My heart hurts after that. 🥺

Teafairy

Oh wow. I wasn’t expecting this to be everything it was. That ending! And the answer is yes. I love Avior so much. He’s been my favourite for a long time and this was worth the wait.

ratjams♡

Oh my god my heart,,,, Avior my beloved noooo this was so good and heart wrenching 😭😭😭 Once again just blown out of the water by your story telling, but god am I in PAIN

Mimble

"In some ways, it feels like you've been here with me for...years. In others, like you just got here yesterday." 😧 You LITERALLY told us last episode- YOU THINK YOU'RE REAL SLY-

RainyDay

oh my god this is stunning. answering so many questions and raising so many more! i loved Avior even when i thought his intentions were purely selfish at the beginning, but now i love him even more. i don't blame him for an instant for pulling starlight back in, i would probably do the same. i can't fathom the idea of being forced to live forever and ever, completely alone in a time-suspended hellscape while watching someone i love move just out of reach. im gonna replay the whole story from the beginning again, just to re-experience it with this knowledge now. ohhhh my fucking heart

Nikki 5¢

No words can describe how I’m feeling right now. You left me in tears, jaw on the floor, emotions out the window. This storyline has me hooked. ITS AMAZING. And sir the cliffhanger… I am currently laying down trying to collect myself. I’m so ecstatic to see what will happen next and what starlight has to say after all of that

SebCastellanYES

So we got a love confession but with a price. God the way you ended this tho?? I was listening and was like…wait…he’s not gonna end it here, is he?…FFFFFFF. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I’d believe him. I love Avior. He’s one of the earliest audios I listened to and partly why I dove into this channel. Why are you not like at a professional level of acting??? I’m just blown away all the time by your talent???

Syn Unknown

DUDE. DUDEEEE! Rik holy fuckin hell man. You are an incredible writer. I know I say it all the fuckin time, but I can't stop. THANK YOU for this story, and all your others. So much. ^^

Shira

gdi fucking blake. oh man this was beautiful though

Night Acolyte

That...was...INCREDIBLE! Definitely need to know where we go from here, I feel for Avior, I just want him safe and happy. Phenomenal writing as always! (I also instinctively want to hug him at the exact moment that we actually hugged him, so well done!)

Sandra

This is absolutely phenomenal!!! I am in absolute awe of your skill and creativity. Damn but this one really tugged on the heartstrings. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 45 minutes of our wonderful Avior - you have made my month! I can't wait for what comes next

Ollie

This is giving, strangers to friends. Friends into lovers. To strangers again

StrayDryad

I was so enthralled, I seriously forgot where I was the entire time while listening. True immersive storytelling magic right there. I mean all of your work is always incredible, but this got me good. Your creative abilities are absolutely impressive! I'm here for it all even if I have no idea how we're gonna get out of this what with the sentient Meridian and all, but I'm just gonna hope for the best. Also, that cliffhanger hurt, I mean honestly well done, but ow. Still thank you for this wonderful audio, you did such a great job!

dailydailynow

wow I love... feeling things ow this is amazing tho!!

CiCisaurus

Now I get why Gavin told FL that they had to stay behind when he went to investigate Ivan. Dissolving sounds like a shit way to go.

Taylor

This was sooo good 😩

Nic@night

Ok. So many questions. Such a great audio omg. The question on top of my brain is what is “Project Meridian “?

Eleneri

I honestly didn't think that I could feel more empathy for Avior - trapped, alone, hopeless - and then I listened to this... And you proved me wrong. The honest truth of Avior's situation, having made the choices he did and living through a cruel redux of the events that led to the love between him and Starlight... It's brilliant. It's visceral and engaging and just absolutely brilliantly acted and flawlessly written. Redacted, you are the Tolkien of ASMR. (Also... you have successfully made me want to punch the Meridian. So... congratulations?)

SebCastellanYES

Look I just I wanna add like what Avior must’ve felt when Starlight started kissing him I could like HEAR the disbelief and hope in his “what are you doing” and that he was strong enough to stop himself and and ((ugly crying face)) how must it had to hurt to feel that love from Starlight again and having to end it because he just wanted to do right by them like my heart my heart burst and is still on fire and we don’t even know how Starlight is gonna take all this??? This was beautiful and ((even uglier crying face)) god the acting in this, the way he told the story and when he finally when he broke down I can’t omg my heart is in shattered little pieces and I absolutely love it. I love how intense i feel for these characters. This is amazing. I am hooked forever.

Oracle

OMG my heart was breaking the whole time I listened to this. He lied, but becuase he was trying to protect them, even though it caused him his own pain, all because he wanted them safe. And the Meridian wanting Starlight? I had some suspiscions but that confirmation is kind of mindblowing. Avior needs a hug. FANTASTIC job Erik!

Origene

Holy shit…a confession and SO much more. It all came full circle! That was incredible!! I have so many thoughts and feelings. GG my dude 🔥🔥🔥

Rebecca

I was waiting and hoping that we would tell him that we feel the same and that we understand why he did this But... it's not that easy is it? 😭

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

😍😍😍😍 Oh, my God! This was amazing! I don't even know where or how to begin, when putting my thoughts into words right now! Nothing feels anywhere near a sufficient explanation 🤯 This is an absolutely gorgeous audio! I'm just astonished! The kiss and tenderness, the reveal of what's been happening, all while weaving together things that have happened in the past, the most beautiful and heartbreaking love confession!? 😭❤️😭❤️ Perfection!!! This whole audio was a marvelous whirlwind of emotional intensity... And it was truly glorious! I was hanging off of every word said! I was basically clutching at my heart the entire time. This was... 💖 Everything 💖 And now, with having a little more of this story unveiled, I can't wait to see where things go from here! My jaw is still on the floor, in response to this awesome storytelling. This whole series is incredible art. Thank you for sharing this fabulous story, for creating such awe-inspiring emotional impact, with so many twists and turns. I'm pretty sure that if I tried to articulate my full thoughts on this great content, I would surely run into some kind of word count limit for Patreon comments, haha. So, I'll leave it at this: I wanna shout from the rooftops about how wonderful and enthralling this story is!! I love Avior's character so much! 😭 And the number of theories I have about what the trap is? It's limitless. Bravo, Erik, Bravo!!! This was spectacular, every single second of it! 👏👏👏 And I now have a new favorite Redacted line: "All I can tell you is that I fell in love with you two years ago when we got trapped in this place together. And I loved you two years later when I pulled you back in. And I still love you now. And I’m sorry. Do you believe me?" — MY HEART!! 😭💖 AND THAT CLIFFHANGER??? GAH! 😫 SO MANY FEELINGS!! THIS IS FANTASTIC!!

Maariyaah

I have so many thoughts, feelings, questions. Thank you Erik, this was truly amazing!!💞

Lurkinix

Well. Time to cry at work :’)

Starlena Scarlet

Holy crud, my head is reeling! There’s…there’s so much to unpack here. Oh my gosh. Just…the more he revealed, and the more I started to piece together…just…oh my gosh. I…I genuinely feel like I don’t know if I can trust him. Not because I think he’s lying, but because of what he did. I’m sad, and heartbroken, and angry, and sympathetic, and a few emotions I can’t even put words to all at once. Just…my gosh

MadnessInABox

Oh Avior…. that was not a nice way to end that audio dang it 🥺☹️😭
