I've given up on thoughtful comments! I'm just going to quote bits of your own fic back at you! "Your eyes are laughing" I love your Credence SO much! Credence called him "Percival" without being prompted! Credence trying to sound stern is delightful! I love that you flipped the "shovel talk is for BOYS threatening GIRLS" ideology and then used it to segue into Credence's realization! "Ridiculously endearing" is a perfect description for this whole fic I am RIDICULOUSLY endeared!!!!
