in the tags, describe the plot of your WIP in three sentences or less
Okay, I *could* complain about the awful new artwork OR I could point out how freakin' tall Bobby is here. I WAS RIGHT. HE IS NOT SHORT. There's nothing wrong with being short (I'm short) but he definitely was never a short king. I feel vindicated.
Returning Islander!!
so i found something very exciting in the files aka a beloved returning islander, look under the cut to see him!

For everyone* who is frustrated beyond measure with S5 and who longs for a sweet lil' freckled cupcake to save us for this mess, this anon has your back.
*It's me. I'm everyone.
Aww imagine sweet Bobby tho 😭
He’s sitting at home and his heart is actually hurting for MC bc everybody is just treating her so horribly. And he already denied the offer to be a guest on the show again but before he even knows what he’s really doing, he picked up his phone and emailed them again. Saying he’ll do it, it sounds fun! (Not really tho…)
But he’s already planning on trying to get MC alone somehow. Even if it’s just to give her a hug and some supportive words. He has to do something, he has to try.
And then the day is there, he’s back in the villa. Just to host a game but who cares about the details. And he sees her for the first time and he swears his heart stopped for a second.
But she looks sad. And after the whole Casa amor mess, who could blame her. Stuck in a friendship couple with Alfie (he can relate…) her “best friend” brining back the girl her ex cheated on her with. Her cheating ex, who brought back another girl! It was a mess!
But he’s determined to see a smile on her face. So he grins at them (her, let’s be honest. He doesn’t care about any of these other people) and puts on a show! Cracking jokes here, making puns there. And it works! She smiling at him (ah shit.. he might be in love already?) and she’s laughing at his jokes! (she’s snorting a bit and it makes his heart feel so light, he feels like it’s gonna fly away)
And then the game is over. He’s supposed to leave, just like that? He can’t, not like this. So he opens his water bottle, takes a generous sip and oooops! He accidentally trips and pours his water over a camera! He’s so clumsy sometimes…
But the islanders are told to wait for them to fix it and this is his chance! Everyone is on their own little group, only MC standing off to the side, on her own. And he makes his way to her, determined to do what he’s been waiting for. The entire reason he even came onto this stupid show again. And he’s nervous, so nervous his hands are shaking and his breath catches in his throat. But he has to do this, so he taps her on the shoulder and puts a little smile on his face while she whirls around to face him…
I’m sorry I’m a crap writer but this scenario has my entire heart 😭😭😭
Good fic writers out there, pls do this!!!
“Good fic writers out there pls do this” like you didn’t just bless me with an entire story in my asks for me to dote and swoon and fawn over omg I’m crying HE IS SO PERFECT I miss my stupid freckly man 😭😭😭😭
Bobby and Lili ❤️❤️❤️
💖💖💖
🥺Thank you for loving those two hot messes, anon. My poor, sweet babies. I'm so mean to them.
TSIME: Meet Bobby's Crew (part 1)
One of my favorite parts of writing is actually just character creation. I love knowing exactly what they look like and all kinds of fun details about them, even if those details never end up in the actual story. So I figure, since I wasted tons of time making long character profiles for them, I figured I might as well write them up, make them pretty, and share them. Why am I doing this? Because sharing is caring. Duh. Defnitely not because I'm avoiding editing. How dare you?
ANYWAY. In this post we're meeting Bobby's best friend, his husband, and their daughter.
Meet Louis:
Interesting facts:
🗸 Louis is a loving, generous soul and does not charge Bobby rent. But he does occassionally ask for baked goods and Bobby always obliges.
🗸 Before they even got engaged, he insisted on paying for all of Dean's sick mum's housing and care, to take the stress off of his beloved.
🗸 He's a homebody who hates traveling. He finds it stressful and doesn't like feeling unmoored. He decided against going to a prestigious culinary school because he didn't want to leave Glasgow.
🗸 He and Lili get along because they're both type-A snugglers.
🗸 Comes from a wealthy family. His mother is a very successful estate agent and his father was a popular rugger (now retired). He's an only child.
🗸 His father, who grew up working class, decided that Louis should go to public school so he'd experience the real world outside of their wealthy bubble.
🗸 In school Louis was routinely, sometimes viciously bullied for being posh. Something he never told his family. But he didn't come out until he was twenty years old because he feared even more bullying for being gay. His parents had already guessed and gave him nothing but love and support.
🗸 Louis was not happy when Bobby added Jonno to their friend group in P6 and even less happy when Fenella was added when they were adults. He puts up with them because he loves Bobby and just accepts that his best friend is the type who brings mangy strays home, thinking they're beautiful. And who is Louis to tell him they're not? That said, they're not all mingin'. He adores Maitland and Nivaan.
Meet Dean:
Interesting facts: (there's a lot for Dean)
🗸 Despite being so tall and muscular, Dean is a fluffy bunny of a man. Very sentimental and kind. He will not kill bugs. If Louis wants a spider squashed, he's on his own.
🗸 He has four siblings, one sister and three brothers. He was the youngest. His home life was not great. His family was incredibly poor and his dad was abusive, sexist, and homophobic (among other award-winning personality traits). His mother was loving, but very passive and preferred not to rock the boat.
🗸 When he was fourteen he was trying to make sense of his bisexuality, so he confided in his mum. One of his older brothers overheard and told their dad. To say it was handled poorly would be an understatment. Hurt, scared, and unwelcome in his home, he moved in with his sister, an artist who lives in Rochdale. He says she is the person who actually raised him to be a decent person.
🗸 His mum and dad divorced when she had two strokes and his fuckface father wasn't interested in caring for her. Dean routinely comes down to Norfolk to take care of her affairs as she didn't want to move. His brothers do care about their mum, but theyre mostly skivers who don't know how to be helpful. His sister keeps in contact with Dean, but she has no interest in being near the the rest of the family so he's the only one taking care of his mum.
🗸 His dad and brothers actually have the nerve to try demanding money and help from him, because they know Louis is wealthy. Never mind that they have not supported their marriage and have never said a kind word to either of them. Dean has never given them a dime.
🗸 He has never and will never ever admit this to anyone, but the night he met Bobby at the pub, he assumed the Scot was grafting and he was 100% ready to take him back to his hotel room. So he was confused when Bobby told him he'd called his friend Louis and he was coming to the pub to meet Dean. Then Louis showed up and Dean could hardly speak because he was so instantly and completely smitten. It was weeks later that he realized Bobby was just obliviously flirtatious with everyone.
MEET ISLA:
Interesting facts:
🗸 There are none. She's three. Toddlers are generally low on interesting backstory.
Stay tuned for part 2 to meet Maitland, Fen, Nivaan, Jonno, and Samantha!
New chapter: The Sun in My Eyes!

The Sun in My Eyes: Chapter 55
Like Stars in Hidin', You and I Burn On
AO3 | Wattpad
Second to last chapter! In which, between fluff and smut, Bobby and Lili must navigate the last barriers between them and their happily ever after.
It was originally one monstrously long chapter so I split it in two. Which means the story will end very soon, and on an even number, which soothes my neurotic soul for some reason.
The Sun in My Eyes: Chapter 56
At Last I See the Light
AO3 | Wattpad
The last chapter. Five years TO THE DAY (because I'm dramatic af) this story is done. No, seriously. It's the smutty, joyful ending Bobby and Lili deserve.
Enjoy this final double chapter. I should have cut it into two but I couldn't do that to you or to me. I have many feelings about this era coming to an end. But I'll save them for another day. Hope you like it!
The Sun in My Eyes: Chapter Titles
Obviously, when I began writing The Sun in My Eyes, I had no idea was going to take the rest of my goddamn life to complete 🤣 So I titled the first eight chapters whatever came to mind. My absolute favorite is "The Midnight Bombshell What Bombs at Midnight" which is a very obscure reference to an episode The Tick. Runner up is, "The Night was Sultry" which is from a movie called Throw Mama from the Train. I digress... When I realized that TSIME was gonna take awhile, I started using song lyrics for chapters. I have a file that has hundreds of lyrics that follow the themes of the story like weather, light, sky, moon, stars, etc. And they're all broken down into categories of: Love & Hope, Sexy, Angsty, and Hesitance & Longing. So for each chapter I'd decide the predominate emotion and then pick a lyric from the list. Or rather I'd pick eight of them and then make @throughthejunobush pick which one 🤣
Every once in a while someone on Wattpad messages me to ask about them. So, now that the story is done, I thought I'd just share what the songs were. Enjoy!

TSIME: The Music
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not cool when it comes to music. I like what I like and some of it is basic AF. But I'm lucky that I have friends who have much more interesting taste than I do. On the Spotify playlist for TSIME, this is my favorite on the entire list and it's the very last one. My friend @curricanus gave it to me. The moment I heard it, I thought, if my fic was a movie, this would be the end credits song. It's playful and sweet and hopeful which is the note I wanted the story to go out on.
If you wanna hear the rest of the long ass playlist, it's here:
"Not all men" yeah you're right, Bobby Mckenzie would never treat me this way.
