#RUN DONT WALK

[cecilyv]

If you're at all inclined to read something from Suits, run don't walk to @andthepeople's center of gravity. It's sort of a fusion with Good Will Hunting; Mike doesn't get to say "how 'bout them apples?" but he does get to do a lot of high level math on white boards for government agents.

So enjoyable.

@starlingflight the fact that you CASUALLY just keep dropping these insane, incredible, lightning strikes of a chapter and then DISAPPEARING. 😂 these chapters are giving me life. I am riding a high of all of my favorite stories being updated so consistently lately. I’m like a kid in a candy store.

And done! Batgirl '00 is complete.

I have many thoughts, but it's almost 2am and I have to get a cat to the vet in less than 6 hours. Might type up a post run analysis in a day or two.

New chapter just dropped!!! Konig x reader smut is live!!!

When you feel like your soul has been changed and reformed so throughly that you are a different person from when you opened this stunning piece of literature and then remember that it was a 40k fic on ao3 and this is *not* that deep

[ratboyslim]

with an iron and ten bucks worth of applique letters and decorations from your local fabric store, you too can make your clothes look trashy af in 5 minutes flat

[almostfoxglove]

this came up on my dash again and reminded me how I devoRED this on ao3 back in may my god I was insatiable. so fuckin good. need to reread, need this in my veins, need this always, thank you and goodnight.

Maintenance Request

main post & chapter list | 18+ (minors DNI) | ao3 word count: 88.6k

Joel Miller x f!reader | complete 🧡

summary: Hot Construction Guy is the bane of your existence - he seems to only pop up at the worst possible moment for you, every time you see him. 

There’s no way there could be something more there.

Right?

full fic tags/warnings: academia AU, modern AU, one-sided enemies-to-lovers, no outbreak, live music, fluff, banter, everyone is alive, misunderstandings, ex boyfriend who was manipulative and a jerk (only mentioned), no use of y/n, pet names (darlin, gorgeous, honey, baby, sweetheart), later: smut, kissing, grinding, frottage, p in v sex, oral sex (f! and m!receiving), creampie, somnophilia, phone sex, semi-public sex; each chapter will have its own tags a/n: this fic is completely finished! It was my 2023 NaNo project. I’ll post a new chapter every Friday. There are 23 chapters and an epilogue. There is eventually quite a bit of smut, but it’s going to take us a little while to get there. Mind the tags (for the whole fic above and for each chapter). That “one-sided enemies-to-lovers” tag was the motivation for the whole fic — what if only one of you thinks you’re enemies? And here we are. Chapters with smut are marked with *. The dates in each chapter are from a fictional fall semester, 2024. Shoutout to @fanatictypist for reading this and encouraging me 💕 and to the PPCU server. note about reader: in this fic you’re a college professor, vaguely of English literature and poetry. You like live music, you like to read, and Ellie is your niece. You have a best friend named Beth, a sister who is having a rough time, and a difficult mother. I’ve avoided physical descriptions and most clothing descriptions, except when plot-relevant. You are vaguely shorter than Joel. No age is specified, but I imagined 36-year-old Joel here (and 14-year-old Sarah), and most English PhDs wouldn’t get to this type of position until they were 28 or 29 at the earliest, even if they went to grad school right out of undergrad. So you can imagine reader any age from there to mid-30s, or whatever you want, really. 

* = chapter contains smut

Come celebrate the end with me with some fun asks! Ch 23 goes up 5/17 and the epilogue 5/24.

“Do you think Carlos and I are moving too fast?” TK finally spits out

The feelings get BIG in Chapter Six.

so much for summer love

rating: explicit

chapter word count: 8,122

total word count: 41,825

The summer before his senior year of college at NYU, TK finds himself in Galveston, Texas, working at a restaurant on the beach. It’s there that he meets Carlos, a fellow server with a heartstopping smile and a need for a temporary break from his own life back in Austin. Without planning it, the two of them fall into a whirlwind romance that’s a bad idea for a million different reasons, yet they can’t figure out how to stay away.

Chapter One | Chapter Two | Chapter Three | Chapter Four | Chapter Five | Chapter Six

Did Remus expect to be here tonight? No. He had things to do. He was supposed to call his mother and go to the dentist, maybe grab a sauvignon to go with dinner. He certainly wasn't meant to be digging a grave in the back corner of the city cemetery at 2am.

MURDER HUSBANDS

He makes a mental note to add chicken noodle soup to his grocery list so he can leave it out for him just in case.

GOOD SOUP

RUN DON'T WALK RUN

And read the first chapter of The Killing Time (unwillingly mine) by @kaaaaaaarf

(Read the tags though)

I have not laughed so much in so long. This is unhinged perfection in the absolute best possible way.
