cbfj1s = retired

Yes! After many ups and downs, of course they end up together and happy forever ~emma

ew, they’re too young to talk about that -sam

HEEEY! We hope to see you there! It’s a party! ~emma

We love you! Hope you’re doing well 💚🧡 -sam & emma

lol we forgot that wasn’t finished :) -sam

we reported it in january, and i think some people also reported it, and it was just taken down by ao3 last week or something like that! such a long process! thanks to everyone for the support, though, because plagiarism isn’t cute!

Enjoyed some throwback fics this weekend in honor of your retirement.

awww that’s so sweet! we love accidental symbolism! we’ve certainly loved getting to write so much for all of you, and we’re really glad people are still reading and re-reading! if you’re ever in the mood to jump into marina or jemily fics, we do have one in the works that feels kind of similar to scottie’s world. maybe a new little family for people to fall in love with? -sam

emma and I are literally going feral. over the past two or three months, we’ve had two (as far as we know) fics plagiarized and used in other fandoms. while the risk of writing on ao3 is that people can steal your stuff, I guess we are idealistic and assumed people wouldn’t do that or would at least have the decency to give credit. we’ve tried to comment on them and contact the authors. we even reported one with no success so far. we’d really appreciate any support you guys can give: comments, reporting, etc.

here is one fic that straight up copies “all at once,” word for word: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48557125/chapters/122482084

UPDATE: we are in contact with the author of this and hope to resolve things with them! (and here is a fic that heavily steals from “calling my bluff:” https://archiveofourown.org/works/62946535/chapters/161193697)

it’s posted!! You can find our first Maya x Carina one shot on ao3 🔥 ~emma

I have descended into full on obsession 😭 I love them so much wtf ~emma

Thank you!!! We’re so excited too! -emma

i’ll see what emma says -sam

we aren’t removing anything, promise! we’re just writing some other things on a separate account 🧡 -sam

sorry we rebranded. love ya, though 🤙 emma said 2025 is the year of the rebrand. i say…never say never -sam

HI! We’re doing really well :) Hope you’re doing great too! We will be back on AO3, buuuuuuut it might not be how people are expecting or hoping.

We’ve been MIA for so long because life gets busy but also because we’ve been hyperfixating on other things. We have been writing a ton because that’s who we are, and we are planning to post soon. We are, however, retiring cbfj1s 🪦

We’ve had so much fun writing and sharing stories with all of you and hope to do that some more in the near future. Our cbfj1s ao3 will remain online for reading pleasure, and our Tumblr will still exist for the time being. And, since we are nothing if not organized, we have created a new blog page and new ao3 account so that we can grow and expand.

We’re planning to write some jemily fics from the criminal minds fandom and some marina fics from the station 19 fandom ❤️‍🔥 If that’s not your thing, then…sorry lol…enjoy our old stuff as much as you’d like. If that is your thing, we’d love to have you join us!

Love,

sam & emma
