Co-sign! Such a fun romp of a fic, I loved this one! 💕

Wish list for the sequel: * Amy meets her wife as a subplot. There's needlepoint and a cameo by Jonathan. * Raf! * At least a *few* moments of the Brownstone Thanksgiving. (As a flashback, bc obvs they're 10 years older now...)

Bond, Attachment, Relationship, Union archiveofourown.org/works/72221286 💛 Rated G | 3k words | Plus some puzzles 💚 Alex goes viral when he rants about how much he hates Connections 💙 H Fox, Connections Manager, responds 💜 Second fic in my puzzle collection

I posted my first fic 1 year ago (on the 10th). A 4k oneshot about Henry making crosswords to get Alex's attention. I truly thought I would write this one fic and then never write anything else. And, well. That was a lie. archiveofourown.org/works/59325994

Resisting reading the just-posted last chapter of "Sweet Little Lies" 'cause I don't want it to be over yet. Forgive me for repeating myself, but this (now bingeable!) fic is the shit: archiveofourown.org/works/617922...

HAPPY KINKTOBER EVERYONE! :D important links for the month below!

✨ Happy Showgirl Day to all who celebrate! ✨ Do we have a favorite track yet? Anybody else headed to the "release party" tonight?

Ah, there was only one bed! Our beloved. As you might expect, Dr A makes it sooo sweet and sexy....

Y'all -- it's October, I need spookiness. Hit me with your best FP vampire recs? (My go-tos are SMC, CCF and the Henesmee stories but -- there must be more out there, right?)

One of the best things about rabbit-hole-ing into somebody's bookmarks is rediscovering fics you loved but forgot. So thanks AO3 user PeachPearPlum for reminding me of r_holland's We've Been Here Forever. (Alex speedruns his bi-crisis by emailing author Henry.) archiveofourown.org/works/48672598

It's here! You know you've been waiting. I've been waiting.... Only two more hours and before I break out of cubicle life and start reading this baby at red lights on the drive home. You with me, @libbygrl.bsky.social?

#rwrbsky ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT MONTHLY CHALLENGE? WE BEGIN OCT 1 #30DaysOfRWRB

Y'all. /Y'ALL./ Halfway through this one and the RESTRAINT I am showing by not shrieking at @clrmntdzfx.bsky.social here in real time as I read is....WAY MORE RESTRAINT THAN I USUALLY HAVE, OK? Go go go read it now, it's so good! NB: That angst tag is NOT JUST FOR FUNSIES, aight? 😭😭😭

Orchid is way too modest to self-promo with links etc. But I have no qualms about declaring how much I *adore* her long fics! Especially: Omakase -- one of THE best AUs in the RWRB-verse Wherein Henry and Alex are London chefs, and *everything* is delicious... archiveofourown.org/works/417312...

If you need something long to read during the downtime, do I have a fic for you. ❤️ archiveofourown.org/works/556592...

In which @jafffacakes.bsky.social does for cheese what she previously did for ice cream. At this point I'm just going to start DMing her random food categories in hopes that they generate more sparkling, witty, hilarious FP stories....

This made me laugh so hard my kids were all "WTF is so funny, Mom?" And am I ready to explain the concepts "top," "bottom" and "disaster bi" to my 12-year old? No, no I am not....😆

PSA: If you're not reading "Sweet Little Lies" by Celaestis, you're missing out on something great. It's a great big serious (but also sexy) WIP and it's just breaking my heart in the best way: archiveofourown.org/works/617922...

Oh no.... Love Nick, of course, but when I think of Henry -- especially in stories in which he's older -- this is who I see. Those baby blues, man.... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

Yep, yep, that sounds right:

our original discord event returns today! The Fic That Haunts You is a 3-month event challenging us to make progress on fics we think about a lot but never work on. we'll attempt to get past this by identifying what's getting in our way & making plans to get past it. tinyurl.com/tfthy2025

Life outside the internet

Dr. Alex just knocks me out, I swear. The /range/ is.....unreal.

Let's salute President Claremont: What's your one good thing, one bad thing for today? I'll start: Good: I got the phrase "bouncy house deployment" into something I wrote for work (and my boss loved it). 😆 Bad: I only learned ~20 min ago that today is not, in fact, Wednesday. 😬 What're yours?

Such a lovely read -- if you haven't yet, treat yourself!

"Alex closes his eyes as it beats, a steady thump against his ribcage in the rhythm of Henry’s name." -- Shaded color comm for @theprinceandagcd.rwrb.social 's fic '𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦!'

Ok, can we talk about this one? I mean....the hand? The cones? The LABEL? Somebody somewhere was cracking himself up when he posted this ....

I'm currently obsessed with this song ("Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend) that is, to me, so FP-coded I actually checked when it came out to be absolutely sure it wasn't written in response to the little pink book. 2008. 17 years ago. Apparently it's my /brain/ that's now terminally FP-coded...

Been thinking about moments in fic that broke my heart. 🧵 (AKA my favorite moments; I don't know why you read fic, but I read it to *feel* something, so.) I'll never get over:

Oh hey -- the Wanderlust fic authors have been revealed! 🎉 So OF COURSE the multi-media heart-tugger with a sense of humor, "Please Keep Your Door Shut," was by the multi-talented @miharaikko.rwrb.social ! archiveofourown.org/collections/...

I need other ppl to read this Wanderlust fic that is so perfectly, exquisitely angsty I had to put my head down and like lamaze-breathe through the pain PLS READ AND MSG ME WHEN YOU GET TO THE BIT ABOUT THE DATE I NEED TO SCREAM WITH SOMEBODY ABOUT IT archiveofourown.org/works/68974541

Hey y'all, it's been a minute. Just wanted to say: Check out those Wanderlust fics, they're 🔥🔥🔥 I particularly recommend this sweet, cozy story about Alex finding love (and lambs) in the Welsh countryside. DID I MENTION THERE ARE BEAGLE PICS? archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Group chat: Betcha can't make recycling fun and sexy.... @jafffacakes.bsky.social : Hold my ice cream. Funny AF and includes a cameo appearance by @caterpills.bsky.social !

Oh AND ALSO? Dr. Alex's insanely charming AWY fic is light as meringue, adorable as fuck, and will probably do for jogging what When Harry Met Sally did for putting the sauce on the side... archiveofourown.org/works/65390194

Wait -- have y'all read about the first openly bisexual half-Mexican trauma surgeon in the history of daytime television? NO?! Ohmigod. You must READ THIS: archiveofourown.org/works/65265673 Quite possibly the best and funniest @jafffacakes.bsky.social joint yet.....

So, so good! I always picture their initial mtg here happening in the exact same frat-house kitchen as the one where Alex tells Henry he's interested in "experiments" in her "Try Me On For Size".....

AKA: The one in which Mel gives a big shout out to my girl @jaffacakes.rwrb.social brilliant ice cream fic, With A Cherry On Top! Already loved @pagemelt.bsky.social's brilliant video essays, but now they're saying nice shit about my friends too, I'm having a full-on fan-girl moment over here....

Listen, you deserve a really excellent Friday night, so here's what you're gonna do: Pour yourself a glass of water. Lock the door. Silence the ringer. Get comfy. Read Dr. Alex's absolutely decadent latest that's a carefully calibrated 60% smut, 40% angst. This is how it fucking *starts*:

Y'all. This is the kind of day I'm having. Went to send a text, grabbed the calculator instead of the phone, and actually punched a couple buttons before I realized that wasn't gonna work....

It is now, technically, Friday. Buckle up, buttercups...

an....an eleven chapter EPILOGUE??!! ***incoherent screaming***

Happy birthday, ACD. This is my favorite ACD edit, it's by @dayln03.bsky.social and I love it so much I went back to the bird app to find it so we could all admire it again.... x.com/i/status/177...

#firstprincefic rec! one-shot. 3.5k words. rated G. Heirloom by dani_dabbles @danidabbles.rwrb.social archiveofourown.org/works/59977426 Fluffy future fic featuring firstprince fathers! 🥹🥰😍♥️ #RWRB #firstprince #ficrec

Strangest thing about becoming part of T1D-world: I'm now, like, invested in the fortunes of this kid? He's super open about how he manages T1 while training/competing, and jumps onto Reddit forums to leave encouraging messages, and I'm just charmed. So now I'm an MMA fan? I guess? And he won! 🎉

The lips I used to call home (Author's version) 🍷Henry meets June's brother and falls for him, sure that Alex will catch him. But will he? ❤️‍🔥 Henry's POV. 💔 Fully written. 25k. 3 chapters. E. 💋 Based on "Maroon" by Taylor Swift. Chapter 1 here: archiveofourown.org/works/64173853
