Character, book, and author names under the cut

Forget why you’re following me? Looking to understand my deepest darkest secrets exposed through fanfic? Here is a list of all of my more popular fics, as well as a couple of my favorites you absolutely should read :)

due to ai data scraping on ao3, all of these have been locked! make sure you have an account before you try to read them. I’m sorry to my guest folks, I love you dearly, but I hate ai more.

Stranger Things/Ronance

“a love that came and left with this train” – one last stop by casey mcquiston ronance au. a bit of time travel, a lot of found family, and tons of useless info on the subway system in boston.

“does he know you’re out (and i want you so bad?)” – fruity four fake dating fic. ronance and steddie, with platonic/peak best friendisms steve & robin and nancy & eddie

"i know better (but i still feel you all around)" - nancy wheeler character study surrounding the five stages of grief, vis a vis barb and being able to let people back in her life in a meaningful way

The Bear/Sydcarmy

"if i didn't love you, it would be fine (i know that's a lie)" – sydcarmy fake dating fic, where everyone thinks they're dating so they lean into it.

"i could never give you peace (would it be enough?)" – sydcarmy fic with a single father!carmy and teacher!syd, who meet because carmy's daughter is in syd's class. sparks fly and former passions arise. cowritten with @twoaugustsago

“i hate you for what you did (and i miss you like a little kid)”— nat centric study/frannat fic, exploring how they met and what the thing TM is (plus reunion)

Others

"we could call it even (and we'll still worship this love)" - chilling adventures of sabrina, nabrina second chance romance. the two are reunited during solstice after years apart and years being broken up, and sparks begin to fly.

“We got sidetracked doing a mozzarella stick tasting”

“Chloe, we’re gay. We can’t do math.”

“Once in a generation, there is a bisexual who can do math. You’re the chosen one.”

“Absolute wrecking ball bitch”

“Not unless you’re into marriage dramas about straight white people who can’t stop having affairs.”

“You know I’m always on horny monster watch for you.”

“Oh, you’re a cilantro hater”

“You know what else smells amazing? Sharpies. Like, a fresh one, when it’s juicy.”

“She’s gay, Your Honor!”

Shara had a secret. And to protect that secret she took an ugly, compicated, overcompensating road. Chloe wanted to define herself so went down with the 'Bad Bitch Deal With It'™ persona route. Smith figured out the clues about halfway through but kept silent. Most of the characters in IKSW do bad things, and as teenagers living in a stressful controlling environment, while it may not be justified, the source of their choices can absolutely be understood.

And that's something that's been missing in RWRB and OLS. Alex and Henry never do anything outright morally wrong. The OLS gang, as chaotic as they are, commit multiple felonies but not a moral wrong. Maybe they're grownups, maybe their circumstances are different, maybe Casey has progressed with their writing style. Either way, this is a new thing to have been introduced in the Mcquistonverse.

Happy Mother’s day to those who celebrate! To those who don’t, Myla is ready to volunteer if you’d like a mom.

I don't know if they all came to an agreement to say shit about the book or the "ringleader" told them all what to say. Literally every person from my country who's read the book has talked absolute SHIT about it. One of them even claimed this is the WORST book recommended by tiktok, and because she has a lot of influence over the community, a lot of people started saying they will not be reading the book. About this, I have some shit to say.

1. If you liked Red, white and royal blue (by the same author) and you didn't like One last stop, you may be a bigot. Don't get me wrong, I love Alex and Henry, but August and Jane's story is truly beautiful and well constructed as well. Is it that you don't like that they fall in love quickly or is it that you can't sympathize with queer women?

2. American politics are impossible to understand if you're not American. That being said, Red, white and royal blue has a lot of talk about politics, and that's fine because it's essential, so we gotta put up with it. Now, what about queer history in One last stop? I've seen people say One last stop has a lot of filler that adds nothing. I think all the little stories are important to the development of the story. The pancake place, Auggies story, everything.

3. One last stop features a main character who is a 23 year old bisexual woman struggling to make ends meet. Been there, done that. That's all I gotta say here, this character is hella relatable if you struggle with work and money and love and housing.

4. August is such a sweetheart. She's so caring, and stubborn, and funny, and clumsy. She's a proud woman trying to make something of her life.

5. Regarding influencers, I gotta say they have more power than we realize. I know I have to be the person choosing what interests me and what I want to read. Some people, unfortunately, don't know better, so they'll consume what's fed to them. There's this girl who is a writer and of course she wants ppl to read her book, but this very same person said One last stop is the worst book that "came out of" tiktok, meaning it became popular in the app. So her fans or followers now will not read the book because she said it's bad. A lot of people, not only her, recommend books with horrible plots or characters, with content that may be harmful for some people. And they glorify the books!! What's to glorify about an asshole of a male character who treats women like shit? because inside he cares about her!! Please. Have some common sense.

6. I know. I know I'm making it too big of a deal. But the thing is, when I read One last stop I recommended it to everyone because I loved the characters, loved the story and the way it made me reflect upon our history. I remind you I live in Argentina, but unfortunately hate crimes do exist here. I could go out tomorrow holding a girl's hand and be beaten to death. My brother can be assaulted in the streets for being gay. No queer person is safe and it's really important for us to think about this. Shit like this happened in the 70s and they still happen today in 2022. This is our history. We should never forget the names of people who died trying to live their lives freely and unafraid.
