In My Early Life (before The Internet Became A Real Thing), I Collected All Things Fairy. Ceramic Figurines,

In my early life (before the internet became a real thing), I collected all things fairy. Ceramic figurines, books, posters. All of it. And there were none that looked like me. All fairies were white. There was no media with black fairies or black princesses or black mermaids or black heroines at all (at least none that I ever saw), and there was no widespread internet like there is now, to even seek those things out. When I started reading romance novels, there were no brown heroines on the covers or between the pages. And for many years of my life, I hated myself for not being "normal." I dreamed of having long, straight black hair that moved in the breeze and fair skin and light eyes. It took a long time to undo that.

For people who could always see themselves represented, I'm sure it feels like no big deal. For people like me, even as an adult, it means everything.

TLDR: This is the cutest fucking post and it made me smile.

Bless you. Bless you dammit.

At long last, it's here! I felt like we needed a chaptered fic for these two, and the few fics we have for them are usually AUs. Once the idea got in my head of how their villa journey could go, it was just begging to be written, so here we are!

Bobby, meet Lucas - Chapter 1

Summary:

She beckons him over to her, and he swallows as he takes a step forward, his feet feeling like lead. "Bobby, meet Lucas.” Lucas. Today is the day Bobby learns the name of his demise.

Rating: Mature (note: there will be smut... eventually)

I wrote something. It sure is a thing. Enjoy this bit of fluff in which Bill faces an impossible choice. This was a five minute word prompt from the LITG FF writer Discord : Mayo

I always forget to post these on here 😆 Ch 49 of TSIME is up!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics (if you haven't written that many, fine 🙄😉) that you've written, then pass on to your favorite writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💜

Thanks, @mrsbsmooth! This is fun, but I have exactly five fics, so it wouldn't be helpful 😆 My favorite fic I think, is the one that gets the least lovin'. Sometimes, They Win. It's a Noah/Seb horror AU. I was so proud of it. Before I started writing love stories I used to dream of being the next Stephen King, so it was a lot of fun to delve back into that. Also writing Noah and Seb getting it on was a blast.

My other fav is probably the dirtbag con artist Lucas fic, The Bad Guy. Oddly enough, both of those are not straight up romances with guaranteed happy endings.

No, but seriously. I'm ready for Spooky season so I can wear my damned combat boots again.

It's too hot for goths
