I (F24) am a high-school teacher who supports/manages a club in creative writing (I want to add: I live/work in Germany. English is not my first language, so don't worry if my English skills are not what you expect from an English-speaking teacher).
In my free time, I sometimes like to read Fanfictions on A03. Today I overheard two female student talk about what kind of stories they like to write in their free time and apparently one of my students writes fanfictions in a rather small fandom which I also love. When she started to talk about one of her stories in more detail, I unfortunaley recognized the story. Turns out, this underage student is one of my favorite A03-authors.
Honestly, that is soooo weird to realize. I've read all her stories FOR YEARS! These stories happen to be rather explicit at times... AND THEY ARE JUST SO GOOD! Some of them were personal comfort stories, that I read again and again. But now I can't read these stories anymore without feeling absolutely gross. Also, since this realization I feel awkward looking at her, which sucks because she was/is one of my favorite students and she has so much talent...
TL;DR The smut I have been reading/loving for years was written by one of my underage students and now I feel weird.
