The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

It takes one minute to imagine the scene and 500 hours to write it

cj slipping up and calling f!leo dad is one thing but have we not considered him slipping up and calling him mom on accident. because he has two moms. MORTIFYING

cj as a little kid thought that every adult that was nice to him was a mom and he used it like an honorific, even though he was corrected several times. and that's like. a cute trait that he grows out of. but it has rippling consequences, like him slipping and calling 16 year old leo "mom" at his big age of 19 on accident and leo finding it so funny he holds it over his head for months

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

[very clearly indulging the urge] im fighting the urge

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

actually everyone pause because i just remember "who else if not her" and i feel like killing someone give me a second to find it
