Summary:

Eddie had Poppy and every time he looked at her tiny little face, all he could think was how unworthy he felt. But Steve—Steve was fucking built for this shit. He held Poppy in his strong arms so gently and he bottle fed her, changed her diaper, played her classical music, talked to her like she was a fully grown adult because he’d read somewhere that it would help with a kid’s development. Eddie wasn’t cut out for being a father, much less a single father. But he never was a single father, not really. Not with Steve. Steve was always there. Self-assured, offering to look after little seedling and forcing Eddie to go hop in the shower, eat something, take care of himself in a way he hadn’t known how to do in those first few endless weeks. And Eddie thought that maybe— He’d thought— He was so sure that they could’ve been a family.

Hey everyone! We are still in need of a few more Writer’s Spotlight Nominations!! If you have an author you admire or want to learn more about, please nominate them here. We have enough for a few weeks, but it takes time for the authors to write their answers and compile the information needed for the spotlights!

We're bringing back the Mod Spotlights to welcome our newest mods!!

In December, we invited @lady-lostmind, @sparklefartstheunicorn, and @dame-zoom-a-lot to join our team!! Now that we're all settled and the holidays are over, it's time we get to know them.

So we're opening up the floor for questions!! You can submit your questions here to ask our mods during their mod spotlight!

Let's give a warm welcome to our newest mods!!!

Thank you all!
