can you BELIEVE there are 15000 RWRB works on AO3? so many! more than I could even read!! the post-movie era is truly so rich and full of wonder 🥺

October round-up! The usual eclectic mix 😂 I'm recommending Mexikid to anyone who's an immigrant or has immigrant family (it's billed as middle-grade but I honestly laughed my ass off)!

We Could Be So Good lovers, this one's for us 😘

One by me: archiveofourown.org/works/54831550 A classic by @myheartalive.bsky.social: archiveofourown.org/works/488969... (One coming soon) by [redacted] 🫢

Also GENUINELY if anyone wants to do this for baseball romances I would love you forever!

Hockey romance, hockey romance, come get your hockey romance! (I've only read Check, Please! so far, but my mind is blown by @caterpills.bsky.social 's dedication)

of course the announcement today had me rereading the henry chapter and these are just a few off hand interactions that I forgot about and was so glad to remember 🥰 the concept of alex calling henry a nerd is hilarious, pot meet kettle, I mean come on bud 💀

Oh god here we go

📢 RED WHITE AND ROYAL WEDDING 📢

A Queer Shoulder to the Wheel: "You know you’re hiding, suspending yourself under the surface of the books because it’s easier to breathe there, when you’re pretending." (for all my compulsive romance reader friends) buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Oh shit I watched this and now I'm interested

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...

love all of this

London cab + rival coworkers getting together! This was a fun frenzied Friday night of writing.

It's my favourite time of the month (StoryGraph wrap up season!) September started fast with a mixture of cosy crime/romance to clear my brain, had a few bangers in there (recommend all of those 5⭐️ ones) plus a bunch of reads for the purpose of having something to talk to my kid about ✌️

Hey hey threesome fic my beloved ❤️

#ABCsofRWRB 2 more fic recs for T: three words, infinite possibilities by @miharaikko.rwrb.social archiveofourown.org/works/59801800 Total Eclipse by @myheartalive.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/54495385

God I loved writing this one 😘

D is for “Dead Letters Office” by Romcomdeplume78 - can Alex find the rightful owner in time to brighten their Valentine's Day? archiveofourown.org/works/53758381 “Deep Blue” by @myheartalive.bsky.social - beautiful multi chapter summer beach fic archiveofourown.org/works/48896938 #ABCsofRWRB

Life outside the internet (and there's been lots of it!) Beaches, concerts, museums, beautiful fruit

And I realised I forgot to post July! Much more of a mixed bag, with a few fun ones in there. Closing in on 100 books this year already 😱 All that time I haven't been able to spend writing (basically life's too busy and I'm too tired), I've spent reading instead

August round-up! Had a fucking brilliant summer of reading. I'm already missing the week I spent with the 5 star trio of Hilary Tamar #3, Glorious Tuga and Sandwich. Plus 3 old faves reread, a swerve into sci-fi and one thoroughly aggravating dud that's gone straight into the charity shop pile.

Top tags, you say? (I feel these are very real but also surely missing something?? Also some maturity filter thingy is going to flag me, isn't it?)

Banging fic, happy anniversary

RIP to the FirstPrince Olympic climbing fic that exists only in my head

A pair of fucking fine wines jfc

June wrap-up! Featuring a TJR re-read binge, the usual assortment of research reads and a few new picks. Recommending the Joanna Lowell to anyone interested in a queer romance set in Cornwall (sounds familiar? lol), plus bikes and plants and art and OH YES hopeful trans lives and so much loveliness

All time beloved

Some of you peeps' ao3 word count is blowing my mind. Bonkers stuff, you're all amazing

i am a horribly picky and judgemental reader, it's not enough if the characters are gay the book also has to be good, im sorry

Click through for deets on the most beautiful thing ever. I can't wait to have it in my hands 🩷

Adding on this moodboard I made for the fic, just because I love it (and because it all started with that picture of NG)

Inspired by @chamel-writes.bsky.social 's fic tourism, here are a few pics from the time I visited Old Inverlochy Castle, in Fort William last year. It features in a PIVOTAL moment (*ahem ahem*) in this fic archiveofourown.org/works/48712585

Oh 🥹

May wrap-up! Lots of ups and downs, lit-wise. Plus I started getting baseball on the telly and my brain demanded another reread of The Prospects

Time to post it again.
