it's been an...odd time on here lately but hopefully we can all take a deep breath now. positivity and friendship is so important. with that said, i will be slowly dipping my toes back into this space and getting back on posting the next installments of my ongoing fics. throughout the stress of moving i enjoyed the following pieces by such lovely, wonderful, talented people:

these fics are currently imbedded into my psyche and have eaten my whole soul. i wanted to say thank you to all of the new (and old) followers and love on my own pieces as of late and what better way to celebrate than share the love!

hey y'all, i'm going to be hitting the road for the move this weekend and it's gonna be about three days of driving for 8+ hours

with that said, please please please rec me some fics you're enjoying, want to share, or you feel like getting a little more love on for me to enjoy in the evenings once i get checked into my stops! i have a tbr list about a mile long but the thought of going through my 'likes' tab gives me some extreme anxiety at the moment

feel free to drop the fics on this post in the replies, reblog and add it, or drop them in my ask and i'll check 'em out!

been having a mild flare up recently with my hip, so i've been stationary at home in bed or on the couch a lot. which has given me some time to catch up on my endless tbr list! these are some of the lovely things i've had the pleasure of reading:

i know it when i see it, part 7 by @bageldaddy

holy cow, when i saw this as i was laying down for bed, i turned around to put the lamp back on and settled in for such a heartbreaking and emotional read with this one. the softness that he shows her in the aftermath of such a situation and then his honesty! my heart, bea, i love you and i love the world you created with these two

short days, long nights: 18 by @frannyzooey

kelli, what a wonderful return to this fic! i loved the imagery you used to paint the life they created together after leaving behind the one that they created as they fell in love. now they are all safe and protected and can be a loving family all togther

a baker's dozen - twelve by @avastrasposts

there really is just something about frankie and sweets, isn't there? i've played around with him in my own fic where reader is a baker and i just love the visual of him in the kitchen and unable to help himself to every treat he can get his hands on. this was the perfect mix of spicy and sweet, such a lovely closing to such an amazing little series!

family museum by @frenchiereading

loving mami miss and papa frankie! and poor cassie, having to hear the truth of her mother and feeling all those conflicting things. but she has mami miss and she's better off now! you did such a wonderful job with the emotions and vulnerability in this, amazing as always. so much love for you!

somewhere to run, 9: three lies by @punkshort

i knew it, i knew it, i knew it. it still hurt. it really did. she deserves to feel wanted and be able to be who she wants and be with who she loves. i can only hope they haven't made the decision too late...fantastic read, shortie

adrift with you, chapter 5 by @morallyinept

this book....this book was impossible to put down. i was lucky enough to get an arc copy and i finished it in one day and absolutely went through all the emotions. it was such a delightful journey to experience alongside danny and isa, the two main characters. the drama, the tears, the heartbreak, the confession, the tension, the attraction, the trials and tribulations of living in a small town and trying to find happiness in the most forbidden of people truly makes a great story. ren has truly done the trope justice with her writing and i cannot wait to read it for a second time once the physical copy is in my hands.

many, many congratulations and much love to @ren-browne-writes for bringing this to life in the way she's always wanted! ♡♡
