Hi, pets.

I thought it was high time I just made a Tumblr master post for this little fic of mine, and I'll be sure to try and keep this updated with each new chapter I post. It's fair to say that this fic has become my pride & joy, and the comments and feedback I've received?

Just, THANK YOU.

Chapters under the cut, all links direct to AO3.

Hiiiii 🖤

So, I wanted somewhere to dump all of the visuals and imagery I had in mind whilst writing LCM chapter 55 ✨🎥🪄 and considering Tumblr now seems to flag almost every other one of my posts (including my original attempt at posting said visuals here), I created a thread on the cursed bird app.

If you haven’t already, you can follow me there too.

8? EIGHT?! E I G H T!?

Oh my god, you are incredible for this. I don't even know what to say. Did you discover anything new on the 8th read? 👀 And... WHAT DO YOU MEAN.

Not you also saying this is your new favourite chapter, too. I spent forever (probably too long) on it, and was worried there was too much exposition and too many callbacks and not enough time passing (though there may or may not be a time jump coming up, hence why I wanted this chapter to just breathe for a moment...).

HA! I did say that, didn't I...

As much as I would LOVE to indulge your curiosity about the particular strap-on I have in mind for director!Agatha...

Seeing this update made my entire Monday, just so you know. I immediately had to go and read it!

So, first off, I would like to genuinely thank you for always coming back to this masterpiece, because it’s that beautiful.

Second, this chapter might be new favorite. No, I actually think it is my new favorite. FOR SURE. The body worship and reader getting to actually fuck Agatha? My dreams are coming true. 👏🏻👏🏻 and making mommy squirt twice?!? I might’ve needed to get up and take a fucking lap or six because OH MY GOD!

The shape of a woman reference?!? I hear that song and only think of Agatha. 😊 So I loved seeing it!!! 💜

This was the perfect mix of unbelievably soft and unbelievably filthy and ugh. They are genuinely idiots in love, your honor.

Like, we are not even trying to hide the fact that I hate you means I love you. Not at all.

I love that after everything, Agatha tried to retreat and reader refused to let her. It was so perfect. Dressing reader?! God, it was so fucking domestic and I squealed because it was so fucking cute.

Oh….look…👀 no nosebleed again, and at a time when there definitely should’ve have been one! 👀 I feel like 2+2 on my theories are genuinely beginning to equal 4 and I am so eager to find out if I’m right!! (Also, not hr painting reader’s face in her period blood because she missed seeing it. They’re freaks and I fucking love them so much.) The way the overall plot of this is coming together is so genius and your mind is just…👏🏻👏🏻

I also really loved how they were unable to help themselves despite the alarm, despite being late, there was nothing to be done except enjoy each other because they were helpless to resist. MY HEART IT SO FULL!!

The throwback to the chapter 24 video?!? Knowing why it cut off?!? I’m dead. Deceased. Writing this from my fucking grave. (I’m a ghost, can ya dig it?)

Everything about this chapter was perfect, and I am so stoked to see how everything continues to play out in 56!! I feel like all of the answers are just right around the corner. And I am READDYYYY.

Thank you again, sweet lunar for this fic, and for feeding us so fucking well! 💜💜💜 I will never be over these two. Ever. 💜

HONEY! 🖤

I can always count on you to make my day with your incredibly kind words. Thank you so much, lovely lady. Seems that no matter what life throws my way, I'm still completely unable to keep away from these two idiots. Still just as obsessed with them as they are with each other. Still very much determined to get this damn thing finished at long last (and thank you for the well wishes re: aforementioned big girl projects!! 🫂😘).

My jaw maybe kinda dropped reading that chapter 55 may indeed be your new favourite LCM chapter. Because... WHAT?! Here I was, somewhat nervous about how people might react to director!Agatha bottoming in the way she does in chapter 55. BOY, HOW WRONG I WAS.

Gawddd, the "body worship" tag has been a long time coming. I have some veryyyy fun additional plans for that tag, but it only felt right that the morning after the "reunion" and then the "repentance" that they have this moment where they can just be their filthy, messy selves for a moment and truly let go. To let Agatha be had just like reader had her, adored and worshipped without prompt, until she was a needy and greedy mess for it ALL ("Keep going, darling... mommy needs more" might just be my favourite 55 moment, personally) before they head back to reality and face the music.

And reader really IS a superstar for making mommy squirt twice. What a good, good girl indeed. 😌

YES to "Shape of a Woman" being so Agatha coded. As soon as I heard it during TDWP2, I already knew I had to weave it into LCM somewhere. IT'S SO AGATHA IN EVERY WAY.

Also love that you loved the breaths of domesticity in 55. I had a whole lot of fun turning "normal" completely on its head. Mainly because there's the "normal" Agatha keeps insisting they can never be, and then there's the normal normal that keeps sneaking up on her anyway. I mean, the big bad director wearing reader's shirts when she stays over?? PLEASEEE (*nods vigorously at the shirts in reverse symbolism, considering the Mitski mention in 53 and reader waking up in Stevie Nicks in 50*). Then there's the aftercare of it all, Agatha so tenderly washing reader after thoroughly ruining her, the casual domestic dominance of the teeth brushing moment, and GODDD, Agatha dressing her. The idea of Agatha fighting for her LIFE because of the effect reader has on her? All of it has me so weak and I am obsessed with them.

O, nosebleeds. Wherefore art thou, nosebleeds...

Maybe they're just taking a break since reader is currently on her period and her body is already going through a lot? 👀

I was curious as to how many of you would lose it at the mention of the chapter 24 video. Why does it feel like a whole lifetime ago?! I always knew that I wanted it to make a reappearance of sorts... but the idea that Agatha first made herself squirt while locked in her trailer, in the middle of a workday, to pictures reader sent her on her DAY OFF?? That reader worked mommy up so, so badly that she couldn't even wait until she got home?? Yeahhhhh… 🫠

I know I keep saying it, but you are very much right that all the answers really are just around the corner now. I feel like the build-up has been kind of insane and has taken me an age, but I hope it's all worth it (and more) when certain things come to light.

I... think this might be one of the best (and wildest) asks I've ever received? HELP.

I'd say the pleasure is all mine, but sounds like it was actually completely yours, anon. But thank you for appreciating it all the same 😌 may there be many, many more where that came from. And many more where you come, too (I'll see myself out...)

Also, dom bottom director!Agatha is very, very dear to me. I feel that her bottoming in the way she did in 55 is completely fitting for where they are in their dynamic now, and for everything they've been through over the past few chapters as well. The devotional worship of it all, the way Agatha is finally growing that bit softer and letting herself let go that bit more... I can safely say that we haven't seen the last of her. Chapter 55 was called "The REHEARSAL", after all:

🥹 thank you, friend. My summer so far has been chockablock, but I'm hopping on a plane at the end of this week for a real break and an actual getaway and I can't WAIT.

🖤 HI SUPERSTARRR. I'd missed you! So very glad you loved the latest update, and I promise that little something is just around the corner. It's coming, just like Agatha will be since we all know what reader's pretty mouth does to her...

My girlfriend didn’t even know about the fanfiction world when I met her.

Right away, I introduced her to your fic, excitedly (obsessively) explaining, ALL the reasons she had to read it. (This was around the time you were about to take a break).

You were her first ever fanfic. ✨ 🎥 🪄

It’s taken a while, but I can proudly say, she has officially finished ALL of it as of yesterday!!

She loved it!! Definitely an official a smut slut, and cannot wait for more!! 🙂‍↕️ 💜

HIIIII 🖤 I’m so sorry I’m only responding to this now, sweet. I am so ridiculously behind on responding to asks (you are all TOO good to me), but this is WILD. What an absolute honour it is to hear that you’re someone’s first fanfic experience. Especially when I can so very clearly remember all the incredible fanfics I first read way back when and ohhh, how they changed me 😭

ALSO, HOW FUN THAT YOU CAN READ CHAPTER 55 AT THE SAME TIME AND TALK THEORIES AND DISCUSS FUTURE CHAPTERS TOGETHER NOW.

RIGHT?? Lorddd, tell me about it. I love that you think so, and that it timed oh so perfectly with that moment for you. I do try to order each playlist roughlyyy to where the songs would fall in the chapter, though obviously everyone reads at their own pace or pauses at times... for reasons.

I always have so much fun matching each song to each moment, like how both “Dying to Love” by Bad Omens (THANK YOU to the anon who rec’d that song a while back) and “Digital Bath” by Deftones very much capture the whole morning shower scene (and then some).

The emotions and like the whole scene and its meaning- it was amazing. Finally R topping and the moment Agatha says tell me how much you hate me and then R admitting she doesn’t want to dance around this and keep pretending- I almost shed a tear. It was amazing.🩵

Obviously we can’t wait for more and what new awaits for us (all in the time you choose to release them,take your time). Fr you are my favourite writer and I am so grateful that I get to read your story. You are amazing💫🙌🏼

Ahhh, HELLOOO. I hope you’ve been keeping well, I’d missed ya! And thank you 🥹🖤 so much. The last couple of chapters (and indeed the next one) really set the tone for one veryyyy big event that’s just around the corner in LCM. Part of the reason these last few chapters have taken so long, aside from life getting in the way, is that it’s a culmination of everything that I’ve had planned since the very beginning. There’s so many threads I need to make sure are tied up before the whole… uh… well. You’ll see.

So very glad you enjoyed reader being a big, brave girl in ✨other✨ ways for once. Director!Agatha helplessly talking reader through it even when she’s being topped is so, so her in every way. The director’s always directing, even when she’s a needy, insatiable mess. Plus reader being big and brave in REASSURING Agatha, too. She’s slowly growing more tender and soft, and I’ve tried hard to write that in ways which feel believable both for her character, and for their dynamic.

The “look at me, and tell me you hate me,” was the cherry on top of that filthy cake for me. Even more so when I think we all know what Agatha was REALLY wanting to hear in that moment. And her response?? WELL.
