thank you!!

darian was originally supposed to be a character in RIVAL WIZARDS. he was part of a bigger friend group that seb/orok grew up with, but it just didn't work; it was always supposed to be seb and orok against the world. and darian was also originally a necromancer bard who creeped orok out all the time (the zombie seb leaves in the lab at the beginning of the book? he mentions a guy in the necromancy lab; that character was darian until i had to cut him and their whole extended friend group).

marlow's subtitle rings/earrings are something i think about all. the. time. and i finally put them in a book because my life and the lives of so many ppl would be so much easier if every human came with subtitles

aw shucks ☺️

seb's go-to karaoke song would be something ridiculous like this one

however,

This book does take place in a modern day AU, as shown by Chappell Roan being a reference! Which means that this also takes place in a magic world that has MEGAN THEE STALLION IN IT (istg this is going somewhere, I promise.)

Alexo is a dancer... does he like doing hip-hop routines?

IS THERE A VIDEO ON ALEXO'S PHONE SOMEWHERE OF HIM IN SOME CORNER OF THE CHEER TEAMS PRACTICE ROOM DANCING TO 'MAMUSHI'????

WHERE WAS HE WHEN 'BIG OLE FREAK' RELEASED??? IT BETTER HAVE BEEN IN THE DANCE STUDIO.

You probably do not care about this at all but the concept of Alexo existing in the era of todays bad bitch rap HAS ME BURSTINGGGGGG‼️

I know for plot purposes it wouldn't have worked well here, but have you considered writing dual POV? I know it's not everyone's thing and people's preferences vary around this. I just think it could be fun. Plus double the yearning and all that.

♥️ thank you!!

i've thought about writing dual POV for my romances, it just hasn't felt like the story needs it yet. i really love the unreliable narrator angle we get through single POV, and that it lets the non-POV character have a secret that the MC is trying to figure out alongside the reader. for now, my forthcoming books are all single POV!

I am not even done reading it yet but thank you so much for making this. I really needed a story like this and I didn't even know it.🧡🩷

thank you!!

thank you, my darlings

for making this my most attended tour to date

for loving my books so much that you bring amazing handmade gifts and cosplay my characters and get TATTOOS (!!!)

for making the lows worthwhile

for being the cause of all the highs

i am so honored you let me make stories for you

you can't just write a spicy book about fantasy football ➡️

“Sweetheart,” I gasp, stroking his side, up to his armpit, back down. “So perfect for me. You’re dancing, do you know that? You dance while we fuck. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen, you writhing on me like my own performance. Dance for me, [redacted]. Make yourself feel good on me.”

one week of THE FAKE DIVINATION OFFENSE!! have you read it yet?
