NEW FIC: The Sweetest Sting

Yo! I wrote a thing. This is chapter 1. Summary below ⬇ ao3 | wattpad

Three gorgeous guys. One evil twin sister. One beekeeper with trust issues.

Rora isn't here for love, she's here for fun, but she's not having much of that. When the guy she thought wanted her didn't, she swore she put her heart behind ice. But now she's got Marshall chasing her, Ozzy missing her, and Lewie, her best friend in the villa, wanting to be more than friends. Oh, and she has a sister who lives to hurt her. Can't forget that one.

Rora's just a beekeeper who doesn't like drama, but her life is currently nothing BUT drama. She's terrified of being hurt, and there's only one guy who has the ability to break down her walls, but what if he breaks her heart instead?

This is an ongoing double trouble villa fic. I believe it's gonna be around 12 chapters. So not forever long. Also, it's gonna be smutty eventually.

new chapter

Chapter 2 is up!

I wanted to fuss with this more and I could have, but I didn't. I figured it was better to post it a little bit rough than to obsess over it and keep people waiting. This might be progress! ao3 | wattpad Also, thanks to @operationnope for reading my yoga over and making it way more believable. Sorry I'm a neanderthal that hates both stretching and breathing with intention.

It’s ‘tell an author you love their work’ day! A holiday I made up just now.

The way you write Lewie is next level poetry. Even if I didn’t already love him, you make him more special than any other guy ever. I am ruined because of you.

Awwww, thank you so much for your kindness, "anon." Def feeling unsure about this fic, so I appreciate this more than you know.

In which the boys get their Magic Mike on, Grace definitely has pirate fantasies, there's excessive use of the word shawty, and Amelia remains the worst.

I'm almost done with The Sweetest Sting. It needs a final edit and then it's over, baby! 🎆🎉 I'm so excited! However, I'm not sure HOW to post the last of it. It's two chapters and an epilogue. In the past I've noticed if I post too close together people miss chapters. Not that I have more than five people reading it, but still. Chapter 9 is very short. Chapter 10 is a monster. It's super long (heh). The epilogue is short.

I never actually finished a chaptered longfic before ( Sorry The Sun in My Eyes readers 😆). I thought bout merging them all into one chapter but it's ridiculously long if I do. I dunno. If the story ends, will anyone come back for the epilogue? Give me your thoughts.

The Sweetest Sting Ch 9

A short chapter in which Rora goes numb, Marshall is oddly charming, and Ozzy makes his move.

PLEASEEEE TELL ME RATMELIA GETS PUNCHED IN THE FACE PLS PLS PLS

😂 Thank you for being so passionate about this. Poor Amelia. I really went all out making her the worst. Because I think it's important to manage expectations, I have to honestly (and sadly) tell you that she will probably not get punched in the face. As satisfying as it would be in the moment, Amelia LIVES to have a reason to act victimized. If you booped her on the nose she'd cry and say you broke it. The cruelest thing you can do is ignore people like her, because they only thrive on attention. Take it away and she'll fall apart faster than a hard shell taco.

But if you want to read Amelia getting her just desserts, I highly recommend Amelia Can't Win. It's so fun and well-written and Marshall is very hot dickhead and @longbobmckenzie assures me that Amelia will be getting a very satisfying comeuppance.

Different anon here, but I hope everyone sees Ratmelia for who she is. I just want islanders to find out what she did to Lewie and they realise what an awful human being she is. (hope this ask was okay without giving anything away.)

Ratmelia never fails to make me laugh 🤣

It's always okay to send a kind ask! I appreciate you taking the time. I am still cleaning up some stuff for the next chapter, so I'll think about it. If there's a way I can integrate a little comeuppance, I will, but so far, I just haven't found the right space for it.

Thank you for the ask!

For anyone reading The Sweetest Sting, the hot chapter is coming (heh) but it'll be on Thursday. I was distracted by boops all day yesterday when I should have been editing, and I'm gonna be distracted tomorrow with the new episodes and my beloved Max. So Thursday it is. Sorry for the delay!

Hey, did you know you can get migraines in your eyeballs? And it can last for days? I sure didn't! I honestly thought I had a stroke when I woke up with a horrific headache, nausea, and blurry vision in one eye.

So, The Sweetest Sting is delayed until Tuesday. I decided to add in some Amelia stuff as the people have spoken but I've been unable to really work on it for two days. I'm so sorry. I thought I'd be finishing it up by now but life (and eyeballs) have decided differently.

Hopefully this little snippet will tide you over:

Marshall looked down at her, his brow furrowed. Then without a word, he shoved her against the side wall. There was no preamble, no teasing. He kissed her, deep and rough. She moaned against his demanding mouth as he gripped her braids. When he pulled back, she wanted to scream with frustration. “Since I stepped foot in this place,” he said. “You’ve been the only one I wanted. But I’m not the type to give you more than this.” His grip tightened in her hair and he kissed her again. “There’s something about you. You make me wish I could commit to just one girl. But I can’t.” His eyes glittered with a pain she didn’t fully understand. Before she could react, he spun her around, her back to his chest so she was facing the doorway, where Lewie stood frozen. “He can, though.”

I started reading The Sweetest Sting earlier tonight, and. I know the fic's good when I want to read more right now, even though I specifically told myself that I'd pace myself with 2 chapters a day, leading up to this coming chapter 😭

I'm still replaying that scene where Ozzy cracked on with Grace between the sheets in CHAPTER ONE.. oh my god

Bwhahaha just saw this in my inbox! Ozzy is a ho.

The Sweetest Sting (Migraine Edition)

So this new chapter? It's almost done. I think I figured out how to balance the ending with some new Amelia stuff. However, I had my eye dilated again today at the specialist's office and I slept off the ensuing migraine all day. Literally 2pm to 10pm. So it's not ready to post yet. Since the new eps are tomorrow, I'm posting this chapter on Thursday, for sure. Also it ended up being 41 pages long, so I broke it into two. You'll get this one on Thursday and the last one on Monday and then an epilogue the following week. Unless my eyeballs fall out and roll away, in which case, good luck figuring out how I planned to end it 😂

My head hurts.

Rora is sad. Marshall has an idea. A wonderful, awful idea. Lewie is on board. Ozzy makes an appearance. This is 28 pages (12,522 words) of smut. If you've made it this far into the story... you're a trooper and you deserve this.

Only two more chapters to go!
