a/n: i'm so sorry this one took so long to get out. it's very dialogue heavy and i struggle with dialogue and it was a tough one. i hope it was worth the wait.

The sun was barely above the horizon, and Aelin was already awake. Nothing but her ceiling fan and Rowan’s deep, even breathing filled the room around them as she reached for her phone and began mindlessly scrolling on social media. 

Cocooned within his arms and surrounded by his scent, her nausea hadn’t been what kept her awake.  It was just after eight and her body was so used to waking up for work that it refused to let her drift back into a land of sweet dreams. At least Rowan was still snoozing. He needed it as much as she did. 

Upon opening twitter, she opened trending topics to see what juicy gossip was making the rounds today. A few politicians were popular for no good reason, and a handful of celebrities were having their looks celebrated per usual. Third from the bottom, however, she stopped and stared. 

This story is so so good! This is just *chefs kiss*…..

TAG LIST UPDATE

please like or reblog this post if you want to be on my tag list! it's a little outdated currently and i want to clean it up a bit. this is a general tag list that will be primarily rowaelin but you might end up with a few other tags in different fandoms but i typically only write rowaelin so those would be few and far between. thank you in advance <3

Yes ma’am!

I’m coming under some struggles financially because i’m having to move and little expenses like food, medication, and gas are really adding up.

I have an etsy shop where i sell bookish, schitt’s creek, taylor swift stickers (and more!) as well as some from blood and ash bookmarks! if you could check them out and maybe buy one or two i would be forever and ever grateful. I’ll post some images of what i’ve got for sale over there, and i’m working on a few newbies as well!

I also have a Ko-fi where you can submit donations to support what i do here and all that good stuff.

even a reblog is extremely helpful as it helps get things out there 🥰

i love you so much, thank you for your never ending support, and you can expect some fic updates SOON 🥰

I Don’t Want To Wait, sixty-six

AN: I’m sure everyone has better things to do this holiday weekend than read a IDWTW chapter update, but it is here for you regardless. Might be the gayest chapter yet, IDK. Excited for your thoughts on this one. xxx.

Every student at Orynth High knew the best part of senior spring was gaining access of the class’s exclusive senior lounge, a long-coveted privilege that was only awarded to grade’s who “earned it,” whatever the hell that meant. Aelin was pretty sure they used it as storage the other half of the year, but that didn’t stop every underclassman from counting down the days until they too could finally step onto those hallowed grounds. As underclassmen, she and Rowan had constantly speculated what was inside the small corner room, far away from any of the grades’ lockers. They tried to peak in when the door would open and close, but all they’d been able to see was a flash of green couches and a poster or two on the wall. 

But now, the time had finally come where they could truly step inside.

It wasn’t all that exciting, to be honest. But the small room in the school’s lower level was a perfect refuge from Aelin’s busy schedule, which, unfortunately was still packed with AP classes. She sank into one of the plush green couches and collapsed against Elide, who was half-watching one of the ancient DVDs stored on the corner bookshelf – some action movie from the 90s that they’d all been thrilled to have the first week, and now upon it’s, 40th rewatch, couldn’t excite any of the throngs of seniors who made their way in and out of the secluded room.

So good!!!!! Love this chapter! Go elide! Poor Dorian. Stupid Chaol 😂

at the hotel bar with my laptop and inspired to write write write, so…. this is your official notice: next chapter of IDWTW will be posted tonight 💗

Yesssssssssssssss

Aelin Week Day 2: The Magic of Friendship ✨

Uhmm somehow I spent 17 hours on this 🥴

I haven’t drawn most of them before so it was really hard to get them looking somewhat like in my imagination and I’m not happy with some of them :// but I spent a lot of time today just to color it and now I’m exhausted

Also if you want to do some coloring of your own you can totally save the lineart and color it in, I know how relaxing that is :)))

This is really beautiful

AN: Thank you all for being so patient with me as we embark upon this final stretch of IDWTW! I think there will be approx. 15 chapters left until the end (and we’re already over 300k lololol). This signals the beginning of the end, and there’s a lot to unpack in this one. I really enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I’ve been waiting for this reveal for LITERAL YEARS. I hope it makes as much sense to you as it did for me. 5k words of getting into it. See you on the other side. Can’t wait to hear what you all think!!!

Based on the prompts:

Aelin forced a smile and saw it reflected back on her cousin’s face as he rounded the corner toward her table. Her mind was reeling. What the hell was Aedion doing here? Of all places to be on New Year’s Eve, the tiny diner on the suburban outskirts of Orynth was the last place she thought she’d find him. And that wasn’t even taking into consideration the extremely surprising company he was keeping.

Adion’s blue-gold eyes crinkled at the corners as he scrunched up his face in a carefully constructed expression of surprise and joy as he wrapped her in a giant bear hug, pulling her out of the booth and into his thick embrace.

“What the hell, Aed?” Aelin muttered into his ear as he squeezed her tighter.

He ignored her, simply putting her back onto the floor with an ungraceful thud and ruffling her hair, as if she were a small child. She poked at his side and simultaneously stuck her tongue out in his direction, expressing her annoyance in the only way she knew how, causing a genuine sliver of joy to appear in his turquoise eyes.

Oh my god! We were right!!!!!! Omg!!! Lys!!! Ahhhh

Sooooo, I think I'm going to be able to update IDWTW tomorrow. If you're excited, let me know!

Hooorayyyyyy! So pumped to see this story continue! You go babe!

tag list update!

since notes have been low, i'm going to start doing tag lists again. but i'm only going to have one tag list. i mostly write rowaelin, as we all know, but i always put the ship at the beginning under author's notes so you'll know who it's for.

please like this post so i can add you to the tag list. reblogging will help get the word out to other readers and would be very appreciated as well!

am I severely out of the loop or has the ToG fandom simmered and died in the last few months?

May we have more ToG content...

Please...

Honestly this post was born of me sitting down to write the next IDWTW chapter and genuinely wondering, does anyone even want this?

me every time i write anything lol. i’ve been so insecure about everything i’ve written lately

Both @highqueenofelfhame and @charincharge….. literally writes anything and I read it. You guys are the first two blogs I check when I open this app

I Don’t Want To Wait, fifty-nine

AN: Midnight update! I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to post until I got settled in NYC, but it turned out that I got bit by the writing bug and needed to get this one out ASAP (I also started the next one, so hopefully it’ll be a short wait!). Thank you all for being so patient with me as I regroup and change my literal entire life lol. I hope you enjoy this one! And, per usual, I have no idea if my taglist worked, so share if you can. Thank youuuuuu! Without further ado…

Based on the prompts:

Aelin took a deep breath in and smiled. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept so well. Her body relaxed with her exhale, melting further into the soft fabric beneath her cheek. She let her eyes flutter open and couldn’t fight the smile that tugged at her lips.

Her head was perched on Rowan’s chest, and his arms were still wound tightly around her waist, clutching her to him, even in slumber. His lips were barely parted, letting a soft snore escape them every so often.

She didn’t even remember falling asleep, but it must have happened quickly after they’d been towed home. The pair were still dressed in their Thanksgiving clothes, but now a streak of early morning sunlight shone through the front window, bathing them in a comforting blanket of pale gold.

His face was so relaxed, nearly glowing in the bright sun; he looked… lighter. And she felt it.

Oh my goddddddd. It’s back. They’re back baby! I missed this so so much. I hope everything is going smoothly with the move!

Updating the NN Tag List! 📣📣

As the title implies, I will be updated my tag list for Noisy Neighbors. Originally, this list was comprised of anyone and everyone who wanted to be tagged in a TOG fandom fic, but as you may have heard, I will no longer be tagging for fics other than NN.

So! If you’ve received a notification for this post, it’s because you are currently on what will be my tag list for NN. In anticipation of Noisy Neighbors making its comeback (yay!), I want to clean things up. Here’s what I need of you:

And that’s it! 💕

The current (not updated) tag list is beneath the cut.

I’d love to be tagged! Can’t wait for more of this story!

reblog the Don Draper of getting a job he’s unqualified for and you’ll have 10 years of getting jobs you’re unqualified for

YES

No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!

So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”

Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.

Confidence Helps

Me, walking into FBI Headquarters:

“Name’s Burt Macklin, I work here now.”

You can’t let this be lost in the tags

Hey everyone, so below I’m posting pics of the Exclusive stories from both the B&N and Target edition of Empire of Storms (If someone could post the British Exclusive stories that would be great)

Alrighty y’all have been warned!!!

The first exclusive is from B&N and it’s about 16 pgs long

Okay that’s the end of the first one.

The next Exclusive is from the Target Edition, approximately 27 pgs long

Aaaaaaaand that concludes the Exclusives!!!

Like I said above, if anyone has the British copy (from WH i think??) with the other exclusive, please post it and tag me in it!!!

PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT!

I know I’m not overtly vocal about social issues but this one really strikes me deep in my heart and I hope it will hit you guys too.

This little girl is Sophie, and she is only 9 years old. Videos have gone viral of her screaming and crying and begging to not be sent home with her mother Kelly and Kelly’s boyfriend Jacob. Sophie breaks down in tears, explaining to whoever is talking to her that Jacob has been sexually abusing her while her mom knows and even sometimes watches. Sophie and her two brothers are both in EXTREME danger. She was briefly in her father’s custody but returned to her mother on August 25th, 2020. Her father and other family members have not seen or heard from Sophie and her brothers since then. 

Guys I usually don’t ask for much but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign this petition and share my post. I have over 2,200 followers, and if this post can reach just a fraction of that then maybe there is hope for a 9 year old little girl and her brothers. So please sign this petition, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, as long as it’s being signed! Please share my post and please share the link on your social media and with friends. 

I’m sick to my stomach after seeing the videos of her screaming and crying, and if you watch them, please know it’s very hard to watch.

The Worst Sex We’ve Ever Had

Summary: This is just a fluffy Rowaelin Smut piece. Rowan comes home after being gone for a week and they are both a little over eager to have sex.

Author’s Note: This is my second fanfic and my first time ever writing smut, let me know what you think.

Rowan had been gone a week. It was the longest they had been separated since she escaped the iron coffin a year and a half ago. He was off rebuilding the southern border villages, the towns that had been destroyed 12 years ago during Adarlan’s reign. Aelin was doing…. okay. Not great. But she was surviving. She missed her mate, her husband, her consort, but she could do this. Not for long she realized, but she would not crumble. She would never get the territorial fae bastard that was her love to leave her side again if she fell apart now. Her nights had been sleepless, but she had kept busy during her days, an easy task when you were the Queen of Terrasen. Tonight was no different it was already half past midnight and she was still twisting and turning, sleep a thing far out of reach. It was hot in her rooms, the summer night making her even more restless.

She was about to get up and take a cold bath when she heard her antechamber door open, she tensed until the pine and snow scent of home struck her senses. She let out a sigh of relief and excitement at the return of her mate. She was already bouncing toward her bedroom door when he entered, taking her into his arms. 

“You were supposed to be gone for two more days,” Aelin murmured against his chest.

“”I flew ahead of the rebuilding party. The men could tell I was anxious to get home, I’m positive they were glad to be rid of my snarling face,” Rowan chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. 

“You’re always such a charmer, I’m surprised they didn’t ask you to stay for the month,” Aelin replied, smirking at her consort. Rowan just growled and kissed her mouth with quiet intensity.

Her core tightened at the sound and she moaned into his mouth, giggling as he walked backwards to the bed but decided last minute that it was too many steps away, and collapsed onto the floor pulling her with him. He laughed against her neck, where his lips were currently working on leaving a mark for her to try to cover in the morning. She didn’t care as the sound of his laughter made her heart leap, she had missed that sound.
