outsider looking in is absolutely beautiful. not just because of its happy ending and overall love in the story, but in its undeniable growth from ulma in terms of everything and how tightly it tied the the three little foxes series.
suna’s perceptiveness has always been a given (stupid ass middle blockers smh) so him immediately taking note of mika’s superficiality is something that i shouldn’t be surprised with but is pleasantly so. to be honest, it made me so glad that suna has looked at yn first and has appreciated her; not mika first then yn as an afterthought. it portrayed the genuineness of his feelings whether it be about their friendship or his crush on her.
the details of this story is immaculate. and so, so heartfelt. him putting a band-aid on his heart and trying to hate reader which i think was just him trying to mask the frustration of her trying to act like she’s okay which was (in my defense) evident on that part in ulma where reader got sick and his emotions subconsciously leaked— a part that has always stood out to me because as much as suna tried his hardest to defend reader, it always come across as him not being okay with what atsumu was doing but that part has always got me thinking that perhaps he has something more that he is not letting on. and of course as mentioned, his self-hatred for not doing better. though, in a sense, i doubt he could do better at that point in time. sure, he himself could try more but it’s pretty much useless if the person you were trying to reach is not gonna reciprocate. at that point in their life, yn was pretty adamant about shouldering the world on her shoulders alone, so even if suna has reached out and tried, i doubt it would bear any fruition. but bonus points for him blowing up on atsumu, i might’ve fell in love a little harder and want him to tell me what you revealed in the preview (ummm??? jk... ha ha... unless 😳)
speaking of growth, suna’s growth is painstakingly slow but not in a bad way. in fact, it is very realistic how he handled himself and slowly worked on his put-up nonchalance and indifference and decided to be less of a coward for both himself and his first love. baby steps, as mentioned in the story once again. the way you handled suna dealing with the shadows of both their past along with his insecurities? impeccable. the parallels of his own feelings for reader with reader’s with atsumu. especially when reader’s a bit... how do i say this? oblivious to atsumu’s feelings for her still. suna as an “outsider” who can see everything that unfolded and of course, like we alr established his acute perceptiveness over things and he knew all along just how in love atsumu was— no, still is— with reader.
as for reader, oh my! did reading everything gave me butterflies. her growth is the most beautiful thing in this whole series. from her openness with her emotions and freely smiling, shedding the mask she carefully and professionally put on as a teenager. her therapy really did help her a lot. most notably, with her relationship with rin and her standing her ground and not giving up on both rin and her. don’t get me wrong, she’s still as strong as ever and would definitely put a shirt on people’s (she care about) back before her own but whereas before where she would’ve let rin get his way and give up cos a break up would be what rin wanted; she put her foot on the ground and decided that instead of being passive and letting the other party tell her where she stood, she chose to fight for the both of them if rin was not capable of that yet, not blaming herself for not being good enough and feeling sorry towards rin for not being able to do more. instead, letting herself carry his heart on her hands because she knew that rin can’t bear the heaviness of his own. but knowing that this time it’s different. because it’s rin. the person who loved— no, loves— her first. rin, who loves her first and foremost. rin who, despite the shadows of their past and his insecurities, is and will always be worth any risks on her fragile heart.
growth, in the natural and casual build up of their relationship was amazing. again this is all part of their growth. love in all its maturity. rin risking his band-aided heart to get to know his first love deeper and again since he did run away from them and his feelings. the casual but very heartwarming way he asked her out. to slowly progress into the strong relationship they have to going over each other’s house and finally moving in. [and also, rin getting called pretty boy is my favourite thing in the world idc! sunarin walked so all the other hq pretty boys could run!]
as for meeting the family part, i knew the extent of kaoru’s protectiveness. but even so, i did feel a bit of disappointment because kaoru, during this whole ordeal, was even more of an outsider. kaoru, uncle, mika, and mom was always protected by reader. kaoru even more so as he was the one who’s there and was also very close to the miya twins. and as a result, kaoru would always think that atsumu would be a better fit and end game for reader because kaoru has always been shielded from atsumu’s flaws, faults, and stupid pride. especially that promise atsumu made to him about doing something about reader when kaoru found her secretly crying in her room, not knowing that the cause of that very pain is the asshole standing before him.
also, the reunion! the seniors being all happy and of course, reader’s lifeline just being precious and glad that their baby sister is finally getting the love she deserves and more. ahhh, i love them so much. i wish we could’ve gotten yoshimichi and asano’s reactions too! ik yoshimichi will run her mouth but i feel like asano could be menacing on her own.
did i mention how much i love this and the growth of everyone? cos i love outsider looking in and how much it showcased the growth of reader, suna, and everyone else. thank you so, so much for another heart wrenching masterpiece. it was an amazing end on the three little foxes series.
(sorry for getting carried away and rambling so much. i am just so enamoured by your story and couldn’t help myself really. i hope this was at least coherent enough for you and everyone else to read hahaha)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS SWEETPEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU REMIND ME OF MY ONE READER IN AO3 WHO DISSECTS EVERYTHING SO WELL ;W;
As for the title, for some reason I thought of 'outsider looking in' and gave it a thought, realizing that it can mean a lot of things: Suna's POV as someone not from Hyogo, and Suna being an outsider looking at his own relationship, the overall feeling of an outsider, himself.
I'm so glad that you all are seeing Reader's development from ULMA, I was so worried that I didn't do it right the whole time I wrote it. Part of her theraphy to get better is Art Therapy, hence, why she does Shodo, or Japanese calligraphy, but she does it at her university, because there's a Shodo club and everything.
I really want to thank the writer of '16 chapels' because she wrote a really raw, vulnerable Suna, which was something I also wanted to try. I thought of rereading the story again, but was disheartened to find out that they deactivated/left Tumblr last year :(
For Kaoru, he has this blind idolization for the twins, especially Atsumu. So he thinks that he can never do wrong and perfectly matches up with his sister's uptightness. However, he doesn't realize how much his idol was the cause of his big sister's hurt.
As for the kits' reactions? Read here!
I'm honestly thinking of writing one last chapter, for all the fics but also give something for Atsumu, since I've bullied and hurt him a lot in this series. Just a send off of his feelings for Reader, his forever person and first love :">
Fun Fact: 'July' by Noah Cyrus was also an inspiration for me to write this song, because it made me think of Suna hoping that Reader would leave him, thinking that she still wants Atsumu and he's just a rebound. 'you remind me everyday i'm not enough but i still stay' did it for me ;"D it's also the very same line for ULMA, for Reader staying in the club the whole time.
