Heart in Paradise

Day 08 ▪︎ Match

[Baz is] the same on the field as he is everywhere else. Strong. Graceful. Fucking ruthless.

–Carry On, @rainbowrowell

Summary:

"Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means upset about sharing a bed. Not when it’s Baz’s bed. Not when I’m sharing it with Baz."

What if there was no humdrum? What if a moment of kindness in seventh year led to friendship growing in the cracks left by years of animosity? What if that friendship blossomed into more?

and here is laura's post!

And on that note, I feel like this event has run its course and unless people want it to continue, this feels like a fitting year to end on.

So

Thank you so much to everyone who has participated over the years, I am so honored to have been the mod, as are all the past mods. ❤️

Play” ---- Told through a series of matches that helped define the blossoming careers and the secret life of the two new greatest tennis players of our generation: T. Basilton Grimm-Pitch and Simon Snow Salisbury.

Simon goes to the same dog park every day. One day, he meets someone new. Someone who is alluring, and mysterious, and a total smart ass. Simon is infatuated and invites the stranger—Baz—to go out to a costume party with him. He may have gotten more than he bargained for…

Happy Birthday @thewholelemon!

To celebrate this most special of days, may I present Watford's finest lemonade stand.

Is this a childhood friends AU? Yes. (Aren't they adorable?!)

Does Fiona really like lemonade at all? No. (She plans to spike it later...)

Will Fiona support any and all of Baz's ventures anyway? Absolutely. (She was also necessary for scale. lol)

Happiest of birthdays, Jenny!!! You are the best human being and deserve all the fluffy goodness on your day. I hope these babies (which are already on their way to your mailbox!) bring you as much joy as they brought me to make. I am so glad we became friends and I cannot wait to hug you in person. 🩷🍋🩷
