Writer's vacation, a murder at 11 pm, and a series outline π
Dear Readers,
This is officially your fault. And Kat's (@thatfanficstuff). π
I wrote a one-shot about a police officer asking out Jack Abbot. YOU jumped on that and liked it.
Then I was apparently forced to write a non-smutty companion piece that was basically Valentine's Day slander. YOU liked that even more. π
So I started a cute little series.
That series now has ten chapters and counting.
I spent my two-week vacation writing Chapters 8 through 10 so I could keep the biweekly posting schedule no matter what life throws my way. πͺπ
Yes, that means I'm buffering chapters now.
For once, Future Me is not being left completely unsupervised. π
Then, while working on Chapter 10, I needed a nickname for Morgan. Unfortunately for all of us, Kat's fic A Little Secret (Rabbot x Reader) was living rent-free in my head. π¦
The rest is history.
Then I finished Chapter 10, fully intending to move on to other projects. Preferably smaller ones.
Instead, at 11 pm, I murdered Colleen Fernandez and started looking for somewhere to dump the body. πͺ
The good news is: I now have an outline for the rest of the series.
Finally. π
So I can promise both you and myself that these two idiots will only drag us through about ten more chapters. Give or take. πββ€οΈ
Complaints may be left in the comments, sent to my inbox, or directed at Kat, who reblogged some of my very first fics long before most of you had ever heard of me.
Thank you, Kat. π
I'm also still trying to process the fact that the SFW version of this series made it onto @finco99's May Reads Fic Rec List. π³
Trust me, the neighbours saw me jumping.
And thank you to everyone who keeps reading along, commenting, reblogging, screaming at fictional police officers, and encouraging what was supposed to be a one-shot. π

I never planned any of this.
I absolutely did not.
I wanted to write one hot little one-shot for my Warmanuary project. I picked Jack Abbot. Then I picked him a date - an adult professional who neither works with him, under him nor for him.
And because the two worked so well together, I gave them a Valentineβs Day shift. Because neither of them is the roses-and-love-poems type. πΉπ«
And I thought that was it.
But then they got stuck in my head.
And YOU β yes, you readers β liked them too. β€οΈ
So I decided to give them a small series. Ten chapters max. Different POVs. Adult relationship. Professional stress. Some case work. And, naturally, sex. I was absolutely convinced these two would end up in bed at least every second chapter. π₯
Then Chapter 3 happened.
Apparently two adults working 12-hour shifts would rather shower, decompress and sleep than rip each otherβs clothes off every five minutes. π΄
Chapter 4 took wrestling. Literal wrestling. πͺ
Chapter 5 went smoothly β I thought.
Then Chapter 6 handed me a concussion and suddenly Jack was very firmly not interested in fooling around with an injured partner.
And now?
I finished planning Chapter 7 and these idiots are getting DOMESTIC.
Domestic.
As in:
working out together ποΈ
going out for breakfast π₯
discussing work boundaries
acting like responsible adults with emotional attachment issues π
Excuse me? I had plans for you two. Hot plans. π₯
But no. They insist on being respectful, caring and emotionally functional enough to communicate. Terrible behaviour from fictional characters, honestly.
And because these stubborn idiots apparently dragged the series in that direction, I finally gave in and adjusted Chapters 1, 3 and 4 so βBetween Always & Neverβ can launch on my SFW blog too. β¨
Honestly? The fact that NSFW Chapter 4 got the least engagement of the entire series definitely helped me make that decision. ππ
So for everyone who enjoys these two without the explicit scenes:
Iβll start posting one SFW chapter every Sunday until the side blog catches up with the main series. π
And for everyone who does enjoy the hot takes:
Donβt worry. Iβm working on it. π If necessary, Iβll just write extra in-between stories for the two of them.
Also: after Chapter 7 goes live Thursday, Iβll post a poll so you all can vote on what you want more of:
fluff, hurt, case work, angst or smut. π
And if you donβt want to wait - comments, asks and messages are always welcome.
It still feels incredibly strange to say βmy readers.β Iβve never had those before. β€οΈ

THEY MADE MY DAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! ! !
I am preparing to start wirting fics and looked into dividers, blog themes and making moodboards. Google was rather unhelpfull and I ended up rather frustrated. So this morning I grabed my courage by the throat and asked creators whos works I loved for help. They ALL answered with support, advice and encouragement! This feels so surreal right now. When you'r used to your work getting critized and your struggels ignored - that's not what you come to expect. And @emmas-odd-shelf just messaged me, because she got mentioned in @lobster-graphics post below, as someone who might be able to help with animations.
Kudos
On that note, if you enjoy someone's work take 2 minutes and leave a comment. Even if it is just an emoji.
Personaly I am trying to get into the habit of always leaving a comment on lovely fics. And judging from the writers reactions, most do appreciate comments. Special favorites get added to my best of list. And as soon as I start my new years project/birthday advent calender "Warmaunjary" there will be a sideblog for reblogs. Cause it doesn't seem fair to me to reblog without having something of my own to offer.
Credit
If you suck at graphics like I do and use someone else's work at least CREDIT them! They litteraly gave you their works for FREE the absolut least you can do is give them the recognition they deserv!
Don't know how? Not knowing is no excuse, weather you break the law or steal other peoples work. So just look into the creators blog and read up. They always tell you how they like to get credited.
You can find my Problems and their reaktions under the cut.

@thatfanficstuff - Kat encouraged me in conversation and told me what software she uses. And that gave me some courage and I went out and asked more people for help. Witch lead up to this post. And now I am somewhat less anxious about getting started with my stories in January.
