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!

mouthfuls of you by @frenchiereading (frankie morales x reader)

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

been a little MIA recently, work has been mentally exhausting and i'm beginning to look around town for either something to slowly transition to because of it. the work load is fine and i like the flow of it but the other three girls have ostracized me to the point where even thinking of asking for help is overwhelming. they talk about me in the group chat i'm not a part of and whisper to each other when i'm on shift and don't really respond to me in general. it's made it hard for me to focus on anything once i clock out other than just laying down on the couch and watching nostalgic shows to get out of my head and not focusing on much else, let alone writing or school work

here are some fics that have helped me wind down from the mental gymnastics that has become my work life:

yearling and new in town by @justagalwhowrites

fuck it i love you by @psychedelic-ink

rest in the cup of my palm by @tinycozycomfort

a strangers heart without a home by @morning-star-joy

where you want your gift girl by @thetriumphantpanda

hi there, loves! we've made it another month! a lot has been going on with me in my personal life, from finding out my old job lied to me about reapplication and appealing the termination i was served to searching for something else. been on the job hunt which is very limited in the rural area i relocated to. but hopefully that journey comes to an end soon and everything affected by it as well. i haven't been reading much or present as much with not having internet at my new residence but i have been trying my best lol. without further do - the monthly recap!

as always, love y'all and hope the days are good to you ♡♡

ooooh, okay. miscommunication isn't the main point of all of these, but it's an agent at play. here are some that i've been meaning to get back to for a second read!
