Idk Why It Needs To Be Said, But Kimiko And Frenchie Have Never Been Platonic Since That Finale, Ive

idk why it needs to be said, but Kimiko and Frenchie have never been platonic 😭 since that finale, I’ve seen mostly positivity about their confession/kiss, but I have also seen people claiming that the writers are “pandering to a minority” by making them a couple…??? THEY HAVE BEEN BUILDING UP TO THAT SINCE THE MOMENT THEY MET!

Frenchie has always been queer, yes, but it’s SO obvious that he’s been pining for Kimiko since the very beginning. and when she told him he was “family,” it didn’t necessarily negate their romantic vibe. family is simply comfortability and love between two or more people, and it isn’t reserved to platonic relationships.

and for those who claim they were “more like siblings,” I beg of you to answer this: what does your relationship with YOUR siblings look like?! because if it looks anything like the dynamic between Kimiko and Frenchie…that’s concerning.

he literally calls her “my heart” exclusively for the better part of three seasons. which, in French, is typically a romantic endearment.

needed to speak my truth because I’m tired of this debate and the strangely purist takes people have expressed about these two and their relationship. they are allowed to like each other as more than friends, and I’m not sure why it’s such a taboo thing for two fucked up people to find their soulmate in one another. 🤷‍♀️

i will always side with evil toxic men with jealousy issues, sorry lol

I hate to be a nuisance, but it's just that A Rose For Your Suffering is so wonderfully addictive. Is there a chance that we'll be treated to a new chapter sometime in Snowbaird Week?

hello! no need to feel like a nuisance, I completely understand the anticipation for a new update! and I apologize to all my readers for the delay - I’ve been dealing with some health-related issues, had surgery a few weeks ago, and I’m trying to ease back into a stable schedule :) but I promise to have the next chapter out ASAP!

speaking of snowbaird week…HAPPY SNOWBAIRD WEEK, everyone! I hope to have an update out within the span of this fun event. I’ve also been entertaining the idea of introducing another shorter fic that I’ve been wanting to write for them for quite a while now 🫣 but we’ll have to see what I have time for. 😉

Excited to hear that you have 4 other fics in the works after the addictive AROYS! Hopefully they're all Snowbairds! Are they going to be AU, canon diversion, barista (lol)?

Yess, of course they’re all for snowbaird! They are my so-called “Roman Empire,” as the kids are putting it nowadays 🤣

I don’t want to spoil too much (as these fics likely won’t happen for quite some time now, ARoYS will be very long, lol), but I will give some hints for each one:

- An au in which Lucy Gray is a student at the Capitol w/Coryo; she was sent there instead of District 12 when they rounded the Covey up during the war

- A snowbaird take on From Dusk Till Dawn (a campy 90s movie about snakey vampires…get it, bc Coryo’s a snake 😆)

- A medieval AU with Lucy Gray as a witch and Coryo a prince

- A darker fic about LG being kidnapped by one of the elite Capitol families and essentially being sold at an auction…just trust me, she will be saved by a special someone 😏 also inspired by this pic:

A Rose Of Your Suffering is one of my favorite fics. I'm also eagerly following Doomsday is Close At Hand, This is Where You'll Find Me, and Chaos and Control. What are your favorite Snowbaird fics?

Aw, how kind of you! I’m flattered 💕

I read a LOT of snowbaird fics before I started writing AROYS. It’s difficult to choose favorites, as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed quite a few. I’ll have to get back to y’all on that one 😉
