Unique with a Modifier

What's this, you say? A Tumblr post from writergirl2011, aka cardinalgirl75 on AO3?!?! In the Year of Our Lord 2026???

Your eyes do not deceive you!! Yes, I'm still here, and YES! I'm still writing. Slowly (very slowly) but surely, I'm writing. I've been through the worst year of my life where I lost my best friend to cancer and went through some health issues of my own. And just when I hoped that 2026 might cut me some slack, I've been dealing with some stuff at work that's eaten into my writing time. However, I refuse to be deterred! I have...(checks nervously)...four WIPs to finish. Right now, I've got a chapter ready for the story I wrote for last year's fic exchange, "kiss me like you mean it," and as soon as my beta's read through it, I'll get it posted. I've got part of the next chapters for my 2024 exchange fics, "Date Knights" and "invisible string" written as well. As for the other WIP, "A Girl for All Seasons," that one may take a little more time for me to get back to since I got stuck, but I'm determined. They will be done! (Especially since I've been sitting on an outline for a Top Chef AU for about two years now.)

From the upcoming chapter of kiss me like you mean it:

“The cuddle” became a phenomenon.  Every live event had dozens of videos taken on cell phones of people imitating those assholes, accompanied by loud laughter, especially when “forbidden lovers” got caught in the act—a guy dressed in the colors of House Bracken cuddling with a young woman who was obviously a Blackwood at a historical reenactment of some battle from the War of the Five Kings; the mascots of MLB’s Sunspear and Lannisport teams cuddling during the seventh-inning stretch of a game; a group of Freefolk cuddled with members of the Night’s Watch at a Coldhands concert in a video uploaded to CawCam.
