Taylor, my sunshine ☀️
2. Do you read/reread your own fics?
I do reread WIP's so I can get into the mood for writing the next part but I do no read finished works. I don't know why, it just makes me feel weird.
4. How many WIPs do you have right now?
Girl, don't do this to me.. active WIPs count: 6 // sleeping WIPs count: 31
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
☆ Somewhere Out There Is Somebody by @a-reader-and-a-writer ☆ The Best Benefits by @writercole ☆ Home Is Where Heart Is & First Impressions by @imjess-themess ☆ Touch and Go by @seresinhangmanjake ☆ House We Share & I Would Walk 10,000 Miles To You & They All Know, He's In Love With You & All Bets Are Off by @roleycoleyreccenter ☆ Wipeout Universe & Safe Word by @wkndwlff
18. What’s one of your favourite lines you’ve written in a fic?
"She couldn’t tell him. How could she look him in the eye and tell him she was another person he was about to lose. She couldn’t hurt him like that. Had it been anyone else, it would have been different. But this was Bradley. Her best friend. The love of her life. No. He didn’t need to know." From You Said You’d Grow Old With Me
19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.
Bradley sank to the floor, back against the wall as he tried and failed to stop the tears. His phone is buzzed in the pocket of the jeans, the cracked screen lightning up with Thea’s name. The bile returned again and Bradley scrambled to his feet and rushed into the bathroom before emptying his stomach over the toilet. From Let Me Drown chapter III
25. Have you ever upset yourself with your own writing?
Yes. I cried non-stop while writing You Said You’d Grow Old With Me for example, and Let Me Drown is no walk in the park unfortunately. If my writing doesn't make me feel anything, I'm doing it wrong.
You Said You’d Grow Old With Me wrecked me! 😫

I LOVE YOU
Fe, I love you!
3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
As someone who notoriously hates their work, this is so hard. Let's go with Hung Up today. I reread it earlier in the week and didn't mind it!
4. How many WIPs do you have right now?
Ummm...a lot! Active: 4? On the back burner: 6? Maybe more?
5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?
This is a tough one! I don't want to completely write it off, but I might be giving up on Five Colors In Her Hair. It just got pushed so far down on the list that I'm not sure when or if I'll get to it. There is still a chance I might. Who knows?
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
Answered here!
7. How many ideas for fics do you have right now?
I'd say somewhere in the ballpark of 10-15...I seem to think of new ideas all the time.
8. What project(s) are you currently working on?
So many (as you know)! How You Remind Me, Shut Down, Any Man of Mine, a new angsty idea I thought of after my couch nap last night...There are a lot on the back burner too! I really need to finish ideas before attempting new ones...
9. Do you write every day? If you wrote today, share a sentence of what you’ve written!
I try to! I haven't written yet today though. I did write the summary for Shut Down which will be posted shortly!
10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?
She Blinded Me With Science! It was my little self indulgent Lab Week treat to myself and it's one of my most popular pieces! I'm working on a part two!
3, 8, 12, 18, 27 😘
I'm never sure who you want more at any given moment so today you get both
Sylv, both...both is good! Thanks for the asks!
3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
As someone who notoriously hates their work, this is so hard. Let's go with Hung Up today. I reread it earlier in the week and didn't mind it!
8. What project(s) are you currently working on?
So many (as you know)! How You Remind Me, Shut Down, Any Man of Mine, that angsty idea I texted you about last night...There are a lot on the back burner too! I really need to finish ideas before attempting new ones...
12. Do you have a playlist for your current WIP(s)? Share it!
I honestly just shuffle my liked playlist. There are a few songs that I associate with certain WIPs:
How You Remind Me: "betty" Taylor Swift
Shut Down: "Highway Tune" by Greta Van Fleet
Any Man of Mine: Shania Twain all day everyday
18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?
This bad boy from invisible string:
"The implications of what you were asking painted a vivid future for him, transforming the canvas from demure grayscale to one peppered with color and life."
27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?
Answered here!
For the recent ask game you reblogged💖
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?
19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.
27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?
A little Jake for tax😉
M, my love! Thank you for the asks and the tax!
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
I find myself rereading @roleycoleyreccenter's House We Share series all the time! It's an absolute masterpiece! @sylviebell's They Say It's Your Birthday! It was so T coded. @roosterforme's entire materlist. She is a genius and it's all amazing!
14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?
I feel like Oh Deer would make an excellent film. I could also see Hung Up as a miniseries, especially if my ideas for what part two would entail were included!
19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.
I'll let you figure out what this is from:
She gulped down a breath. “I…I’m not sure it counts as a date,” she admitted hesitantly.
“Did you want it to be?” he asked over the obnoxiously loud radio.
“I…I um,” she looked at the desk. Heat painted her cheeks, the butterflies in her stomach stretching their wings. “Yes.” She coughed. “Yes, I did.”
27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?
All of them! Posting takes a lot and I always feel so vulnerable sharing a piece of my mind with you all. What if you hate something I wrote?
If I had to pick, I'd say Wipeout. It was my first posted fic. It was the first time I shared my writing on any platform.
For the fic ask game!
20 + 21
Thanks for the asks, babe!
20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?
They're mostly based on song titles! Although I haven't posted anything for it (and I'm not sure when I will...) Still Breathing has a lot of meaning for me. A close second has to be She Blinded Me With Science, because I love that song and I'm a big old science nerd.
21. Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours laboring over it? If so, why?
Absolutely! The most notable scenes I recall deleting were some of the original scenes I had for my Wipeout series. Originally Mackenzie, the oc, was supposed to end up with Bradley. I had to completely rework my entire plot and a good number of scenes.
I got called into work and I’m stuck here for a while…🙄
Coming later today! 👀🏎️
Hiya Honey!! Here’s a few questions For the bored and anxious ask🩶
3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?
20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?
22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?
Here’s a little gift🩵
Thank you for the asks my love!
3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?
This is a really tough one. My answer right now is probably either Make You Feel My Love or Love Me Like You Do. They were both fun to write and I liked getting into the deeper/more intimate workings of Phoenix and Roosters relationship.
I reverently heard someone say their favorite story is the one they haven't written yet because they haven't messed it up yet and I really felt that.
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
Yes! @bobfloydsbabe has been killing me with the Pharrow feels lately so naturally I had to reread Soft Touch last night. No Peeking from @wkndwlff is in the constant rotation, and your CYG series is too.
15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?
I like to take titles from songs that match the tone of the fic usually. If I don't use a song or lyrics then I try to pick something that will reference a certain scene or theme in the fic that I like.
20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?
I'm gonna go with In Bloom, the title for a WIP I've got going right now. It's cute and fun and goes along with a couple different elements of the fic.
22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?
I like to at least know the main idea of how it will end before I start, like "If these characters are going to end up together how is that going to happen?" I like to at least have an idea of the when, where, and how or else I get anxious.
A beautiful gift, thank you so much 😍
Ahhhh! I’m so happy you enjoyed that fic!! ❤️❤️❤️

rhett holding your belly during pregnancy 🥺
oh this man’s hands are on your bump the moment you start to show. he never takes them off! lying on the couch at night, in bed, or when he goes to the rodeo he keeps them on for as long as he can. he says he can feel your little one kicking for good luck.
but can you also imagine when you start to get really heavy, at any moment he can, he’s lifting your belly up and letting you groan into his shoulder, the weight dissolving almost instantly.
“mm, thank you, darling.”
“anythin’ for mama.”
sobbing! thank you so much for this sweet thought my dear anon! 💌
The Off-Season || Chapter Twenty
A Jake Seresin AU
Pairing: Jake “Hangman” Seresin x OC [Meredith Lilley]
Synopsis: It was supposed to just be one summer. But somehow you found yourself living in your grandparent’s Maine vacation house indefinitely. It was quiet when the summer tourists left, but tolerable. That was, until your brother’s friend from college needed a place to crash and he somehow wound up staying in your guest bedroom. Also indefinitely. Still reeling from a life-altering breakup, Jake Seresin was a disaster, and the absolute last person you wanted to survive a Maine off-season with. And yet, there were some redeeming qualities in Jake that didn’t make him the worst roommate of all time. He was searching for a fresh start, and you were searching for answers to questions you still weren’t sure how to ask. So why did it seem like the two of you were meant to end up in the beach house when you couldn’t be more different?
Tropes: Roommates; slow burn; enemies to lovers
Chapter summary: Jake and Meredith have a sexy encounter on the couch that gets cut short; Meredith confides in Hannah about sleeping with Jake; Meredith makes up her mind, but when she goes to tell Jake how she feels he shuts her down
Warnings: Cursing, SMUT, angst, miscommunication, reference to emotional manipulation in previous relationships
WC: 3.2K
The first few months in Maine you had to constantly remind yourself that Eli wasn’t there. He wasn’t just going to show up at the marina, in downtown Bar Harbor, at your doorstep.
It wasn’t that you were afraid for your life.
It was simply the fact that every time you raised a fork to your mouth, found yourself frowning and then tracing the frown lines, pulling out a short skirt from your drawer, you could hear Eli’s deep voice in your ear.
Stop.
It took months to even get close to attempting to repair the damage that he had inflicted, slowly, over years.
The Maine house was the last place you had felt connected to yourself before Eli changed everything. Perhaps that’s why you went back. Searching for the remnants of yourself. Trying to figure out who you were. There was a before and there was a during. But you weren’t so sure there was an after.
That was, until Jake came along. He was your after, even if you didn’t realize it. Even if a part of you wanted to push him away with a pole. Hold him at a distance. Pretend you didn’t care because it hurt less than being hurt again.
So why were you having such a hard time accepting that he might not be all that bad? That he might not hurt you in the long run.
That he might actually care about you. If you let him.
***
Jake never thought he’d live to see the day, but the moment the snow started to clear and the sun resumed, he cursed. He wanted that damn snow to stay forever if it meant he got to spend all of his time cuddled up with you.
MEREDITH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 😭😫
Ok but is Mere more in the wrong or Jake???
They’re both being such idiots! Jake needs to have a talk with Hannah too! Omg this hurt! 😫
Happy Birthday Beth!!
For a moodboard, how about: Javy, emerald or dark green, and dark academia?
Thanks so much for celebrating with us 🎉💕
Thank you! 🥳
This was a fun one! There's so much dark academia content to choose from, and I love an excuse to gaze into Coyote's eyes 🥰
I hope you like what I've put together!
