April 📚
• The Charm Offense by Alison Cochrun
I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm not the biggest romance reader. I liked it well enough, particularly its portrayal of mental health and the importance of friendships, which I always appreciate. The hype is understandable but it's not gonna be at the front of my mind when I think about my 2023 reads. 3/5.
• The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
This book made me feel emotions I didn't even know existed and that is not an exaggeration. It was slow at the beginning, but once I was hooked, I was hooked. I saw the ending from miles away but it was still so effective in its delivery and it tells such a beautiful, heartfelt and important story that it was impossible not to cry. 5/5.
• My Dear Henry by Kalynn Bayron
Like with Self-Made Boys, I did not read the novel this book was based on (Jekyll & Hyde), and will be judging it purely from an outsider's perspective. Knowing the answer to the mystery makes it quite frustrating to follow the protagonist as he eventually discovers it as well. Still, it brings an interesting perspective to a time period I'm not used to reading about. 3/5.
• The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu
As soon as I heard the premise of this book, I knew I had to read it. However, it's hard to summarize the actual story of this book without spoilers, so I won't try, but it ended up being very different from what I expected. Not in a necessarily negative way. I should say it was pretty slow-paced and my eyes kept skipping entire paragraphs. The story itself is cool, though, and the characters are a lot of fun, but it seems like something I'd have more fun discussing than actually reading. 3,5/5.
• Louis & Louise by Julie Cohen
This book was everything. Coming in, I expected a touching story about gender roles and parallel universes, and it was exactly that and more. The mystery element adds something deeply compelling to the plot, especially considering there are two different events that happened on the same night, one in Louise's life and one in Louis', but we don't know much about either one. Kept me hooked from start to finish. 4,5/5.
• Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton Walker
I was really hyped for this book and I wish I'd gone in with lower expectations. It's not bad at all, but it didn't capture my emotions as much as I expected, you know? It was very predictable and repetitive at times and it killed some of the tension. That one thing with Yves came out of nowhere but its aftermath is definitely the plotline that interests me the most. Pretty great for a debut! 3,75/5.

hi !! can i please get a tpn, saiki k, and sk8 the infinity matchup? im a girl, prob 5'1 or 5'2, an enfp and i act pretty shy, awkward and quiet when i meet new people and often takes really long to open up, but once i am comfortable, i act very chaotic, humorous, sarcastic, and laid-back (a lil clingy too 😞😞). i even like giving affection if im that comfortable with the said person, im really shameless to showing affection to people when i really love them. i really like writing, long car drives, trying on clothes, teasing my friends lightheartedly and things that would make me feel extreme andrenaline (regardless if i'd get extremely injured or not), because i often have randomly have energy boosts. i can also be a people pleaser sometimes. my goals in life is probably spend a ton of money for alot of carnival rides w/ some friends, skate in any way (roller skate, figure skate, etc.). i dislike getting ordered around or getting told things multiple times, slow stuff, thunder storms, bugs/insects, headaches, judgemental people, and things that discourages or makes me umotivated. im also really caring to my loved ones when they get sick, I'd most likely be checking up on them every 3 minutes or every 30 minutes, it depends.
i have thick black hair that is armpit length, light brown skin, and dark brown eyes, my style for clothes are probably casual, or anything comfortable really, as long as it looks good to my eye, I'd wear it!
my love languages are probably words of affirmation, quality time and acts of service, i really like giving them to people i care about, romantically or not—i enjoy expressing my care and love for them, to the point there probably isn't a month that passed without me saying how i appreciate my loved one.
this is rlly random, but when i hold someone, i often like to spin em around (when im carrying the person or like if im holding hands with them), or rock them back and forth. when it comes to comforting someone, im not that good at it, but I'll try my best and listen, while giving the person either a hug or a back rub. whatever they prefer. i forgot to say, but im unlabeled and i could careless about the gender you match me with, thank you in advance! i hope you're having a great day/night <33
Hello! Thank you so much for the ask! I made the TPN matchup platonic to make sure I didn’t match you with someone strange. T-T +++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your matchups are….(insert drumroll*)
Norman(platonic)
Norman is kinda awkward and quiet himself but when he meets others that are quiet the opens up faster. Norman has so many chaotic friends that you would fit in perfectly! The laid-back part though would be quite refreshing!
Norman will never seek out a hug or head pat but he definitely doesn’t mind if you give him one! Norman definitely likes bonding with others for long periods of time. Norman doesn’t need much to be please so you won’t have to work too hard. Norman would love to go on carnival rides, but please no spin rides he can and will throw up. Norman knows how angry people can get when ordered around so he wouldn’t even try. Norman had Emma do a boost of adrenaline would do little to affect him… Norman would do anything to keep you motivated. Norman compliments people so sincerely it could probably make anyone cry. Honestly, Norman is thankful for practically anything you do for him...
Norman would start giggling if you picked him up and spinner him around. Norman is more one that bottles up emotions so you won’t have to comfort him very often or at all.
Teruhashi Kokomi
Teruhashi thinks you are so pretty! She has to talk to you, and once Teruhashi wants to talk to someone you don’t have much of a choice. Teruhashi is used to people being all nervous and confined around her! She thinks your personality is adorable. Since she’s so protected chaotic friends make her feel more normal.
Teruhashi is so happy when you give her affection but she doesn’t expect you to do it the time. Teruhashi loves spending time with you so long cars rides are absolute. Trying on clothing is Teruhashis' main hobby! Teruhashi is always at least a little hyper so she wouldn’t even notice the small energy boosts. Teruhashi could never order people around! She wouldn’t really need to either way…
Teruhashi may get millions of compliments but sincere compliments from you mean more to her than anything. Takahashi hets so many empty gifts and compliments that you will mean so much to her. Teruhashi would giggle but blush so hard if you even picked her up nonetheless spin her around! Teruhashi doesn’t need much comforting but you being there at all will make her feel better.
Reki Kyan
Langa is a mix of both shy and awkward, so to him… you're like a Langa well at least at first. He will hang out with you a lot so be prepared. Reiki at first doesn’t expect you to open up, but when you do? Nothing changes.
Once you open up? Good luck prying Rekis cold dead body away from you. He will laugh at any joke even if it wasn’t a joke. Reki would love your physical affection, but he doesn’t expect you to give him physical touch every day all the time. Long car rides are like a monthly activity.
Reki loves to take you to wife places that are far away. Reki is always so energized he might not even notice an energy boost. Reki + carnivals = the wildest experience you will ever have. Reki goes way too fast and I mean WAY too fast. He absolutely hates people telling him what to do. Rekis personality is motivating in itself, to be honest.
Reki would be so proud and happy that you would give up even small words or things to him. If you tell him he looks decent today? His confidence has blown through the roof. Reki adores spending quality time with you. He will literally cry tears of joy if you picked him up and spins him around. He would definitely not mind the way you comfort him.

November Author of the Month...
Drumroll please.... our November Author of the Month is none other than the incredibly talented...
@all-things-fic !
Congratulations to a wonderful author, Liz! You can check out our interview with her below!
1.Did you start writing fanfiction for One Direction, or was there another fandom that you wrote fanfiction for before this?
I have one fic that I wrote for One Direction Fanfic Archive, that will never see the light of day. It was really awful, but everyone starts somewhere. I’ve shared it with two people on Tumblr and we just laughed about it.
I’ve also written a Niall Horan fic which has been flagged for how explicit it is, which is quite laughable as it’s tame in comparison to the Harry stuff (eek!)
2. How old were you when you started writing fanfiction?
I was a teenager when I first started writing fics. I don’t know if I would consider it “proper” fanfic though as it was riddled with cliches.
3. What’s been your favorite fic that you’ve written to work on so far?
For the longest time I was proud of the second part of Divorce Harry and specifically the second part. It just felt real to write. I can’t even explain what it is about that piece.
I think at the time it stemmed from an ask I received where I was asked if I was a parent - I’m not - but this someone said I portrayed aspects of a marriage and how children can tip the balance really well.
The sheer bitterness of two people in love and the juxtaposed feeling it brings was an interesting dynamic. Being bitter and in love? How? It happens. You love someone, but bloody hell don’t you hate at the same time.
And I think on the hand Quarantine Harry is the opposite side of the same coin. I love it because it’s so happy. When you’re smitten and basking. Your baby waking you up at 3am and meeting your husband on the landing with the freshly made bottle is a time to enjoy because you’re doing it together.
But soon enough the third child is sprawled out in your kingsize bed and their foot is pressed against your ribs and you're tired. This isn’t me saying the two stories are linked (I do get those theories quite a lot haha)
4. Do you prefer AU or OU?
Definitely more of an OU gal. I’m massively into writing things “realistically” because I think it’s so relatable and helps draw readers in more so. Especially if the writing uses and references visuals that readers are aware of.
5. What’s your favorite trope to write?
Would we call a long-term relationship / established relationship a trope? If so then this is my favourite. Writing characters who know how to push each other’s buttons, knowing what they can and can’t say to get the other going. Being able to write two people who can share as little as a glance and know what the other is feeling.
Sprinkle a bit of angst on the top for good measure.
That’s my kryptonite.
6. What’s your ideal space to write in?
I tend to write when I’m in bed quite a bit, usually really late at night and on my phone rather than my laptop. Often lying in the dark. Sometimes first thing in a morning.
7. How do you get motivation to write?
This one made me laugh considering I’m unable to finish a single piece of writing at the minute.
Pictures are quite inspiring. New images of Harry can usually start something in me. The images of him in the whacky joggers for example from set have inspired a scene in Quarantine Harry (who knows for which part just yet!).
8. Do you typically like to listen to music when you write? If so, what do you listen to?
Very rarely listen to anything when I write, I tend to like silence really. Sometimes this is so I can dictate into my phone.
9. Your dialogue is some of the best I’ve ever read on tumblr, how do you plan conversations in your fics?
Thank you for the compliment, it’s really nice to read that you think so highly of my dialogue. I don’t really plan them - conversations or my fics. I’m quite visual in how I write, so anything that you’ve read I’ve most likely had it play out in my mind and typed it as it’s moved. For dialogue I tend to speak out loud as I’m typing to try and get the pacing right for the conversation.
No, I don’t try to do a Manc accent… Just in case anyone is wondering haha!
10. What is your writing process like?
I write what I see and then hope it fits. Honestly it’s pretty chaotic. The only time I tend to plan is when I’ve got a lot of different scenes written and I need to know if they’re suitable for an update or what order to place them.
Then I read through them and think about the characters and how they would be a certain time and move the documents into another document. Then I close all the tabs and cry cause my motivation is nonexistent.
11. What’s been your favorite scene to write from Quarantine Harry?
One that hasn’t been shared haha! I’m joking (maybe).
From part one my favourite bit has to be the part where she makes up with him by taking him a cuppa and he gets a dig in about how she hasn’t brought any biscuits with her. Also the bit where he says “come an’ love me” meaning he wants to cuddle. I’m quite conscious I don’t really ever write soppy fics, so when I’m writing “fluffy” aspects they’re more so everyday affections. Like, you know someone is properly in love with you when they’re doing the washing up cause you’re busy, or they’re taking out the bins on bin day. That kinda thing.
From part two absolutely the entirety of the morning where she takes the pregnancy test. That was the part I had as clear as day and I worked backwards to the opening scene. I really loved the idea of Harry knowing his partner is pregnant before said partner knows. Him knowing his lovers body like the back of his hand so much so that he’s able to pick up on the smallest of things. I knew I had to write it.
And how he casually suggested she took the test, by pressing a kiss into her back. His face finding that test and then being an insufferable sod and pleased with himself cause he’s in the know about the outcome before the MC.
12. Is there a schedule you follow in terms of when you write? Or are you more impulsive and just write where and when you can?
So impulsive it’s actually embarrassing. I cringe at myself. I know I’ve mentioned this loads but I really write what I see. So if I’m not seeing anything, I’m not writing. It’s quite frustrating.
13. What is one thing you wish you would’ve known before you started writing?
To not talk about your writing before you’ve finished it. I feel like I massively let people down when I post sneak peeks and then I can’t deliver because life gets on top of me!
14. What do you prefer writing, multi-chaptered fics or one shots?
One shots and then if they develop into something more that can be exciting!
15. What's your secret to portraying such a complex and interesting relationship between your main characters??
Personal trauma…… *tumbleweed at another one of my poorly thought out jokes*
I’m a bit stumped on how to answer this one. I think being well read(ish) helps you create complex characters and relationships, not saying that I am but I’ve read a fair few books. Life in general helps too, sometimes personal relationships. Just growing up. My fic when I was younger was nowhere near the type of things I’m writing now but I’ve got a couple (okay, more than a couple!) of years on myself since then.
I think just apply your own lived experiences and call upon emotions you may have felt through certain times that you’re writing should you have experience it.
Partly I also think so many of us are a little bit nosy. Sometimes we all kinda want to be the fly on the wall in the home of couples to see if everything is a rosy as it seems or as intimate. Or whether it is just raw passion with a couple of arguments thrown in for good measure.
16. What Harry era/mood/look/vibe/song/etc. do you get most inspired by?
What’s weird is my favourite era of Harry is 2014, but I wouldn’t want to write him like that. The current Harry is quite marvellous. I’ve never known anyone like him, he really is fine wine (the real album title…. ‘we’ll be a fine wine’)
If you’re asking what mood I like to see him in, it’s either when he's pensive and looks a touch pissed off with a crease to his brow or when you watch his joke his eyes before he’s even said it and he’s amused/pleased with himself.
His current look, mainly late 2019/2020 is quite something (hence the quarantine fics)
I tend not to get inspired by his songs but my two faves if I had to pick would be Woman and TBSL. I think they’re massive Scorpio energy and would make great premises for a one shot sometime!
I’m not sure if I even answered this how you wanted it answer but hopefully it was something haha!
17. Who or what inspired you to start writing?
I’ve always loved writing, I think it’s because I do a lot of it with my line of work. The person that gave me the push on this site was actually an account called @meetyourmouths. The lovely Iz is no longer on tumblr but she wrote a Harry piece that just made me think ‘fuck it’ and I posted Practicing. If you go to that piece the authors note makes mention to Iz.
I would also say @stylishmuser was one of the first people to reach out to me and be encouraging which has always stuck with me. Massive love for, P and still talk to her all these years on.
I’m now sat here thinking about listing all the lovely lovely people who have been so nice to me both in regards to writing and outside of it and I’m conscious I’m not mentioning them. The troubles of being a bit of a people pleaser. Hopefully those people know I love ‘em… You know?
18. Some readers are wary of leaving feedback because they're unsure how the writer will take it, how do you personally like to receive feedback? Do you want to be critiqued, or would you like to just know if they did or didn't enjoy what they've read?
First thing I’d say is please don’t ever think as readers you can’t be negative. Sure there is a way to present the feedback to the author cause writing can be quite personal, but everyone has room for growth.
Just come chat to me. Can be about anything and everything. A simple ‘loved the update’ to ‘this bit was rubbish’. I’m open to all feedback.
One thing to remember is there are a lot of writers out there so there is something for everybody. If a fic isn’t for you there are tons out there waiting for you to go and grab ‘em!
19. Is writing a hobby or do you have aspirations of writing professionally outside of fanfiction?
I used to think it was mainly more so a hobby, and I do still lean towards this. However, now I’m not so sure. My problem is I tend to have long spells of not being able to find balance in my ‘real life’ job and the extra-curricular stuff.
I’m dragging myself here but I don’t think my fics have much plot to them. I’m more so about writing the everyday life and I don’t think there is a market for that really (unless you have something explosive happen somewhere).
20. And finally, What's your purpose for writing? What do you hope to accomplish?
For a while I wanted to write Harry being insufferably British. I found it quite hard to find writings that I thought wrote him using Britsh-isms (is this even a thing?) and types of phrases that are common over this side of the pond. I wanted to put that out there for someone who may have once felt like me.
Mostly, I just want to put pieces out that take people elsewhere, even if only for a couple of minutes. A lot of the world is a bleak place, if you find my little corner on tumblr and it makes you smile, that’s achieved something, hasn't it?

As an air element, he actual does possess control over it however, because of his childish nature, he doesn’t do much with it : making leaves spin in little tornadoes, a lovely breeze on summers through his whole floor, playing with the tree leaves, pushing himself if he’s playing on the swings. But don’t let this fool you, whilst he is in control of it and keeps his emotions in check a majority of the time by bottling it up ( it’s too tedious to be drowned in ‘em! So bottle them up and throw them in the sea of emotions ) there are times in which he will get overwhelmed and it might cause a ruckus, actually destroying things around him hence why it’s better for ANOTHER ZODIAC SIGN to be with him at all times... because, well, he doesn’t have a middle ground : it’s either numbness or feeling everything with intensity.
Despite his punk looks, he was, is and forever will be respectful of kid’s dreams because they deserve to have hope and be protected, to grow up at their own time rather than develop emotional maturity due to traumatic events ( for example, if a kid asks him ‘am I a bad kid?’ the zodiac sign will go ‘no! of course not, but doing that action wasn’t the best, remember this mistake and do better next, ‘kay?’ ) and elders, even those who don’t quite deserve it. GEMINI is unable to hide his displeasure at the humans who mistreat both : bullies, thieves, abusers, etc., he will without hesitation jump into the situation and throw hands on sight. He will never stand by and watch, he will always take action without considering the consequences.
GEMINI is both touch starved and touch repulsed, he is a hopeless romantic and a downright pessimist with relationships. As always, the middle ground is nowhere to be seen but this is mostly due to his trust issues and his double-faced nature. It’s rare for him to whole-heartedly trust someone, he has a personality for each person he ever met : from people-pleaser to an asshole. Truth be told, he isn’t entirely honest with all the zodiac signs either but they are the closest to REALLY know him. He is the closest to CANCER ( @burglarlotus ) and would do anything and everything for her, she’s the one who knows him in depth hence why he can become whiny around her or cling onto her.
Everyone in the penthouse appears to have some pet of any kind an he decided to go for adopting a pair of street dogs whom he assumed would be a small breed but it turned out those are bigger than him if they stand up on their paws. They also turned out to be fluffy, so during summer there’s hair EVERYWHERE in his floor as he brushes them over and over, also loves bathing and walking with them. GEMINI is super attached to animals, in fact, it goes both ways except ( and ironically ) with other dogs other than his. For some reason, they see him as a predator or someone intimidating and fear him deeply even though he is doing nothing. It upsets him to the point he can cry right there and then.
He is INCAPABLE of cooking, put him in a kitchen and the firefighters have to be in speed dial yet, somehow, he is amazing at making chocolate bombons and pancakes. Those are the two things that NOBODY, not even himself, know how he can do them.
For some unbeknown reason, he used to have a little crush on TAURUS and LEO that was gone as soon as it appeared and it still BAFFLES him that he dropped that low ( that’s a joke, he appreciates their existance but really, how in the hell ).
GEMINI is the type to take the bugs outside UNLESS another zodiac sign panics in which he kills them and feels sad afterwards. Then again, he is TERRIFIED of worms, butterflies and moths for no reason other than finding them ugly except that one type of butterfly that eats decomposing bodies because ‘those are rad’. Eagles hate him for no reason.
He can, will and must have an existential crisis all days around 3AM and will pester any other zodiac sign that is awake. If not, he will BLAST his messy playlist which goes from anime openings to mambo no. 5 because he can’t have an order with those.
If you put a raven next to GEMINI, corporate will see the same picture because he is a hoarder with shiny things or stuff that catches his eye. He will even randomly give those little tokens to other zodiac signs because ‘it reminded me of you’.
He won’t react at horror movies or games, instead clacking like a MANIAC but will CRY a river at romantic movies. Also the type to get ABSORBED into something and won’t give a reaction, not even if the entire penthouse is on fire. He hyperfixates in one hobby and either keeps it or tries something new, it’s a circle because he might pick it up later on.
