#1, 16, and 24 for the end of the year book asks!

How many books did you read this year?

forty five!

maybe the unhoneymooners by christina lauren, so many people seem to love it and i thought it was like.. fine

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

untamed by glennon doyle. i got about 1/3 into the audiobook and just got bored. again it's super hyped up but i just couldn't really be bothered for several more hours of lion metaphors (plus the god/faith stuff did nothing for me)

There are too many good ones on the drabble list so I picked four and you can choose which one(s) you want to write a Jarah B drabble for (because you should have known this was coming 😜). #2, 24, 41, or 59 (59 is my favorite one)

THIS ONE WAS HONESTLY SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE! And I’m a fucking over-achiever, as you well know, my dear, so I did all four prompts. 💀 Enjoy!

“Can you shut up for five minutes, please?”

“If I trip over one more of your shoes, I’m throwing them all away.”

“Take notes, sweetheart.”

“... or we could make out…”

Sarah’s alarm blares suddenly, pulling her from a weirdly vivid dream. The bright colors fade from her memory as soon as she opens her eyes, squinting against the light leaking between the slats of the blinds. It’s too early to get up for a weekend, but the Pogues had been over late the night before and she knows the Chateau is still a mess. She’d been too tired to clean up before going to bed, but now she wishes she hadn’t procrastinated so she could roll over and go back to sleep. As she stretches, willing some form of energy into her limbs, she realizes John B’s side of the bed is empty. He’s never been an early riser, and he didn’t mention having to work. Whatever the case, he’s no longer in bed next to her and with his absence goes any excuse she has to linger under the warm blankets. She smells coffee as she opens the bedroom door. That will be a better start to her day than jumping right into cleaning. 

As she makes her way down the hall, her foot catches on a discarded converse. In that moment, she decides that moving in with John B was the best and worst decision she’d made in recent history. “John Booker!” she yells, rubbing her stubbed toe and hopping awkwardly on one foot. “If I trip over one more of your shoes, I’m throwing them all away! I swear to god!” And okay, that comes out a little meaner than she intended. 

“Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed,” his good natured chuckle floats from the kitchen to greet her. 

Sarah twists her mouth into a semi-pout. She can admit to herself she’s irritable, but admitting it to someone else is another matter entirely. “And?” she snaps, her voice having almost no bite to it. Then she sighs, crossing to the kitchen table and sinking into one of the chairs. “Sorry. Didn’t sleep well I guess. Need coffee.”

“Coming right up, Val.” He pours her a cup. “Though you did ruin my plan.”

“What plan?”

He grins a little sheepishly. “I was gonna make you breakfast in bed.”

“Really?” Tears spring to her eyes for just a moment and she feels kind of silly, getting all emotional over one little breakfast in bed. “You’re so sweet. How am I supposed to top all your grand romantic gestures?”

He sets a plate of fried eggs, slightly burned bacon, and toast in front of her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Take notes, sweetheart,” he says with a wink. 

Sarah’s stomach growls as she looks at the food in front of her, but she finds herself wrinkling her nose after the first bite. Something isn’t quite right about the bacon, and she’s guessing it’s due to its near charred state, but she can play it off. It’s awfully sweet of John B to make breakfast, even if he isn’t a first-class chef. He sits down next to her with his own plate and asks, “What’s on your to do list for the day?” 

“Cleaning up the mess your friends made last night,” she laughs. 

“My friends? Since when are they only my friends?”

“Since they trashed our house!”

“Well, I guess I can help with the cleanup, since I did contribute to the mess.”

“Thank you for your sacrifice.”

John B chuckles for a moment, then glances down at his food, pushing it back and forth across the plate. “And, uh,” he pauses and clears his throat. Sarah doesn’t often see him struggle to say what he’s thinking. John Booker Routledge is rarely lost for words. But in this moment, he seems almost nervous to continue. “So I think you should add something else to your to do list today.”

She pulls her feet into the seat, wrapping her arms around her knees and leaning forward. “Yeah? Like what?”

“Like taking this.” He reaches into a bag on the floor, pulling out a rectangular box and sliding it across the table. 

Sarah opens and closes her mouth a few times, blinking in surprise as she takes in the small package sitting in front of her. 

“Your period’s late,” he explains. “And you’ve been… feeling off lately, I can tell. And Kie can, too. She said so last night. And I mean I was already thinking something was weird and I figured it was better to go ahead and see-“

“Can you shut up for five minutes, please?” Sarah snaps, staring holes into the pink and white box in her hands. A pregnancy test. “Do you really think-“ she cuts herself off, trying to collect her thoughts. Sure her period is a little late, but that had happened before, nothing to freak out about. She hadn’t thrown up or anything like that. There is no way she’s pregnant. She slams the box down on the table and stands abruptly. “No, this is crazy. My period is just a couple days late, that’s all. It’s happened before.”

John B stands and walks around the table to put his hands on her shoulders. “Sar,” he says. “It’s two weeks late. You always mark it in your little planner thingy and it’s been two weeks since you were supposed to start.”

And there go those stupid tears again, filling up her eyes, except this time she’s afraid. She’s afraid because she knows he’s right. She hadn’t even allowed herself to notice how long it had been, but of course John B did, and now... “What if it’s positive?”

“Well,” he pulls her in close, wrapping his arms around her. She instinctively relaxes into his embrace. “Would that be so bad? I mean, you’ve graduated, and I know we’re not married yet, but what does that mean in this day and age anyway. And it’s not like we’re exactly strapped for cash.”

That last statement makes her giggle, just a bit. “So we’d be okay, yeah?”

He nods. “We’d be okay.”

She sighs, pulling back from and picking up the box of pregnancy tests. “Shit. Here goes!”

Two full minutes later, after the timer on her phone goes off, Sarah has a hand over her eyes and a test in the other. What if it’s positive? John B would be a great parent, she’s certain. But she doesn’t know how to be a mother. It’s not like she had the best examples to look up to. But then, what if it’s negative? “I’m honestly scared to look.”

“We’ll look together,” John B says, coming up behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. He steadies her in a way a much younger Sarah didn’t believe was possible. “On the count of three?” She nods. “One, two… three!”

And with John B’s hands on her shoulders, his eager face hovering next to hers, just as excited to see the results as she is, she suddenly knows exactly what she wants from this silly bit of plastic in her hands. She flips the test over. Two little lines. 

“Two? What does two mean?” John B asks. 

“It’s… it’s positive.” Her voice is a little shaky, and holy shit this is happening, but then she’s laughing. “It’s positive!”

“Oh my god, Sarah!” He lifts her off the ground and spins her around once. “Oh my god,” he says again, setting her back on her feet. “Should I have done that? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, John B,” she whispers, tears shining in her eyes for the third time that damn morning. “We’re gonna have a baby!” Just saying that out loud sends a shiver down her spine. She didn’t think she could be so excited for something so unexpected, but here she is. 

He laughs, almost in disbelief, raking his fingers through his hair. Sarah thinks he looks happier than she’s ever seen him. She thinks maybe she’s the happiest she’s ever been, too. “We should tell the Pogues,” she says. 

“Yeah, probably…” his voice trails off as he pulls her back to him. “Or, we could make out?” He teases. “We can always tell them later.” 

Sarah giggles, feeling better than she had in probably a month. “That’s what got us into this mess in the first place.”

“So is that a no? Or…”

Twisting her hand into the front of his shirt, she pulls him even closer, kissing him deeply. His hands come to rest on her waist and she can feel him smiling beneath her lips. Breaking their kiss for just a moment, she says, “You know I love you, John B. Right?”

“I love you, too, Sarah.”

The Sarah and JJ sneak peek was so sweet! Their friendship is so underrated and I cannot wait to see how you explore it! 🤩👏🏻

Thank you, love!! 🤩

I've been doing a lot of thinking about how this relationship would progress. Obviously they're both SO close to John B, but I think once JJ realizes she's around for the long haul, he absolutely would become her best friend.

And they just make me feel all the things, and I have so much love for this friendship, I can't wait to learn more about them! 💛

And I'm here for it bc I love the friendship between girlfriend, and her boyfriends best friend. (Obviously in a completely platonic way, but they both love him and they're always around each other so of course they would be close.)

Maybe Anna was right. Not every single thing that happened to him was his fault, even if it was his cross to bear. And he was bearing it – or learning how to at least.

BTS of fic writing ask list #3, 5, and 7 😊

3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around? 

Oh, honey.... you've seen my drafts, so you know 😂 I will outline my fics from start to finish and then I usually sit down to attempt to write chronologically, but that inevitably gets thrown out the window. If I'm struggling with a scene I'll skip it and jump ahead, or if I get an idea I'll just write it and plug it into the fic as I come upon it. I will often write the end first, as well, so I know what I'm working toward. It just depends on how I'm feeling, I guess. 

 5. What is the perfect environment for you to write in? 

I have a little writing table in my spare room right by a window. I will make a cup of tea and have a candle lit. I can write most anywhere, but I'll get the most done in that setting. 

 7. Which part of writing do you struggle with most? 

Oh golly, most parts. I find dialog pretty easy by itself, and when I'm in the mood description can be easy, but put the two together and I am stuck! I hate writing confrontation, though. I am a very non-confrontational person, so writing it almost gives me hives.😂
