Not all those who wander are lost

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE OTL!!

2,397 followers! 1,371 posts! 11 Mods! 5 Events!

It’s insane that a year ago, on this day, 8 of us–connected only through our love of Teen Wolf and Thiam–came together to start this blog. We couldn’t say for certain official color schemes or who would do what or if we should call ourselves the “Thiam Book Barn” or the “Official Thiam Library,” but we knew the Thiam fandom deserved a place to grow, interact, and feel appreciated. 

Fast forward a year and OTL’s reached 2k plus people, connected 100+ Thiam creators, and hosted 4 fandom events–5 counting the upcoming TwentyGayTeen Drabble Party! So, this day couldn’t end without a few heartfelt thank yous. 

To Euthoxia, Vis, Lizzie, Tiffany, Olivia, Jay, and Esme for responding to a  random post about a potential Thiam library and helping transform a ‘what if’ into reality. 

To Corri, Lisa, and Alicia for joining the Mod family and adding their unique ideas.

To HeartEyesRaeken for creating a perfect blog header with nothing but an ask, a name, and a vision. 

To Bea for being an enthusiastic first Behind the Screens highlight and to the 15 artists and writers who willingly opened up after that. 

To anyone who sent an ask, participated in an event, or offered words of love and kindness. 

And most importantly, to each person who has ever liked, interacted, reblogged, and replied to a post. 

We thank you, we love you, and we look forward to whatever the following years have in store for the Official Thiam Library. 

All the love, 

THIAM TWENTYGAYTEEN DRABBLE WEEK 

//DECEMBER 12 TO 16, 2018//

//OfficialThiamLibrary’s Final Fandom Event of 2018//

We’re celebrating TwentyGayTeen and ushering in TwentyBiteen with a final week of Thiam LGBTQIA love. You might have remembered this post awhile back announcing a potential week of diverse Thiam sexual and gender expression. Check out the finalized details below! Hope to see you in the tags. xoxo

Event Tag: #thiam20gayteen

Why Drabbles?

The more, the merrier. If you’ve been ruminating on more than one fic idea, this gives you the chance to write them all. Drabbles make for a low commitment, high entertainment treat for all. And for this event, we’re using the term “Drabble” loosely: 100, 300, 500, 5k, etc. It’s all welcome.

Daily Themes: 

Day 1: The Gay Agenda// Random every day life in the spirit of gay. i.e., examples: parades, GSA school clubs, coming outs, etc. 

Day 2: Gender Bender//  i.e Transexual, Intersex, Transgender

Day 3: Ace Spectrum// i.e., aromantic/sexual, demisexual/romantic, graysexua/romanticl, queerplatonic relationships

Day 4: Neutral Ground// i.e Non-binary, genderqueer, gender neutral, agender, pangender

Day 5: Gay Anthem// Lyrics and Quotes from any queer artist

All daily themes are a suggestion. Please follow your creative process if it leads you in diverging direction ;) 

AO3 Collection/Tracked Tag

Special Thanks

All the gratitude to our collaborator and this event’s co-creator, Des, @marauders-mess​, who planted the seeds for a Twentygayteen week and suggested the daily themes!! To mod Tiffany, @blockrose, for her mesmerizing banner above! Finally, to everyone who reacted to our feeler post a few weeks ago. 

They were crushing it. It felt fantastic for Liam and Theo to be back on the lacrosse field together, and of course, because it wouldn’t have made sense any other way, they were killing the game, leaving their opponents behind every single time, scoring one goal after the other.

Liam felt the warmth in his neck and back, and he knew he was right where he belonged, on the green as the captain of his team, with a lacrosse stick in hand and a smile on his lips. He couldn’t be any happier. Well, not in any way that he could think of in that moment. But he trusted in Theo making even that possible.

As crazy as their journey might have been up until that point, the future looked sweet from his current point of view. They were together, and that was all that counted.

“Ah, fuck!” Theo cursed as he stumbled. He still managed to make a decent pass to Corey, but his planned attack was ruined for the moment.

“What’s up?” Liam asked, following Theo’s gaze down to the other boy’s feet, where his shoelaces had apparently come undone. “Oh,” he said, “let me fix that for you.”

As stupid as it may sound, it was kind of a difficult task to bend down and tie your own shoes while wearing full lacrosse gear, and Liam new the struggle, so he dropped to his knees real quick and began fastening Theo’s shoelaces again, one eye focused on the game going on around them, but he still didn’t fail to notice the pair of socks Theo was wearing.

“Now that explains a lot about your shape today,” Liam laughed, tugging at the red fabric covering Theo’s ankle. There was a yellow flash on it, and the pair had once belonged to Liam.

“Whatever helps us win, right?” Theo answered, and Liam could hardly argue with that logic. He made an extra knot just to be sure and looked up again.

He’d wanted to catch Theo’s eyes, but something else caught his attention on the way up there. He stared for a second and chuckled.

“Already?” Liam asked with a smirk. “Do I really have that much of an effect on you?”

Theo blushed a little, but did nothing to hide the evidence of Liam’s effect on him that was straining against his pants.

“My body is simply reacting to the sight of you on your knees in front of me. It’s not my fault that that’s like the hottest thing ever.”

“Well, I’ll make you an offer. If you score three more goals this game, I’ll get on my knees for you again later, when it’s just the two of us.” Liam got up with a wink. “So do we have a deal or what?”

“Definitely a deal,” Theo replied. “Thanks for tying my shoes, Captain.”
