Free! Anniversary Fic Recs š¦šš¬š¦š§ Can you share your fav fics from each year (2013-2023) Free! has been around?
This is a very fun ask!! Lemme root through my bookmarks and see what I can find š
2013 - A lot of the stories I have saved from this time are shorter lil one-shots like āNever Leaveā by Shimegami (classic mh hug-it-out interlude fic) and āThe Sound of Settlingā by teke (feelings realization stuff), but one other one I liked was āThe Ocean You Gave My Heartā by miaoujones. Smut warning for that one (if thatās not your thing), but something about desert-bound Makoto learning to swim and indulge in water with Haru, thinking upon meeting him that heās a wonder whether heās really a mermaid or not, thatās neat!!
2014 - starting to realize the ones I kept any note of from the early years are some of the popular mh fics probably already recommended 10 times over, but thereās a reason why people sing their praises. If you havenāt checked out fics from tide tothemoon like 2/13189000 (mhtokyo my beloved), their writing is *chefās kiss* delightful. Another AU I havenāt been able to bring myself to revisit was orihimeās reincarnation stories from āI cannot be without you, matter of fact.ā There are two different stories, one where Makoto remembers their past lives and a follow up where Haru remembers, and oh that made me ache dude.
2015 - Speaking of suffering, have yāall checked out Heartās Departure yet? I think weāve referenced and talked about that story enough for it to speak for itself š„“ heartbreaking circumstances but still cosmic and so so beautiful. Then, once youāre done crying about that story, hop over to āShake the Heavensā by Ad_Astra to break down over (what I described in my ao3 bookmark) Makoto and Haruās āinherently cataclysmic devotion.ā I guess 2015 was the year of shoving the boys into tragic AUs and seeing how much they were willing to give up to get back to each other. A whole vibe
2016 - letās goooo gamers, more AUs!! āIād Create Oceans For Youā by trashness is a fun fantasy adventure that has both tender moments and interesting action (and some banger art from donguris omggg). If you want something more future-fish-flavored that shows that happily-ever-after doesnāt save you from your grief, āSublimationā by RedScribbler was great. You can find more of my thoughts on that one if you scroll back a bit in my āfic recsā tag ā one of yāall sent it in and yeeees it was so up my alley!
2017 - Alright fellas, there are so many to choose from, because now weāre getting into the macbetha years! Who would I be if I didnāt mention āEyes Wide Open All The Timeā tbh?? Itās a long one with its own hard-hitting involved lore and world-building, but Beth builds this unique story in a way that pulls from the characters we know and love so effectively. Iāve sung the praises for this story multiple times (and could so do it again bro donāt tempt me) but Iāll end off with saying that if youāre fascinated in watching deeply-wounded people whoāve been put through hell learn how to make a life in the aftermath, thereās something special for you here. Aaaand, if you want something about 1/10 the length and not as heavy, ā159 (Architect/Interior Designer AU)ā by intoxicatedcinnamon has some fun moments š thatās another one where you can find more of my thoughts somewhere in the fic recs tag (love when yāall send me stories šš)
2018 - āCoral and Boneā by Macbetha my beloved!!!! Wanna play mermaids and fight the gods? Maybe try to find that summer magic that makes you want to keep going and accidentally fall in love on the way? I am puuushing you toward this story bestie. Everyoneās here and everyoneās having fun! OH ALSO Iām throwing in āNight Changesā by SEMellark because I love stories where Makoto and Haru actually figure out how to talk to each other. (Side note ā a lot of these are probably gonna be things Iāve recād in the past, so feel free to scroll my tag for more details and consider this list an extra endorsement š
)
2019 - (drops basket full of love for mutuals) OOPS OOPS OOPS!!! Donāt mind me, just popping in with some āLetās Get Marriedā by sagesprouts and āAnthropoceneā by testosterogna, nothing to see here but some classic natsunao shenanigans and one of the sickest elemental bender AUs out there šāØ I also have some fics from Svana saved from this year, but Iāll be mentioning her again later so hold on okay!!
2020 - alright, now the list is getting longer with everyone jumping back in during the early pandemic days šš»āāļøSO FIRST OFF āgreen eyes, youāre the one I wanted to findā by infinite_always is an absolute FLUFF FEST of a soulmate AU! Unbearably tender moments but who doesnāt love that every so often? OH AND we have another one of my all-time ultimate fic recs here!! āReachingā by CupNoodles55 has shaped and reshaped how I look back at Eternal Summer in the way Iād want any great canon-compliant fic to. Big love for interlude scenes and extra bits that help recontextualize or deepen what a moment couldāve meant in the show. Gonna end off 2020 with āThe Sea Aflameā by Dizzydodo because even though this urban fantasy story is unfinished, I was super drawn in by the prospects of dragon!Makoto and whatever god stuff was going on with Sousuke. An interesting universe I love thinking about again from time to time.
2021 - Starting off strong with ālove on the water, love underwater (and so on)ā by rudimentaryflair because we love introspection here!!! Lovely writing style with lines that make me want to scale the walls. This take on Makoto is so so special. Also gonna rec āTo Clear Away Todayā by suhmayzooka (omg hiiii) if you want to be thrown into another hard-hitting intricate AU with loads of potential. Love exploring what weāve got to see of the world so far š and OOOH ITāS TIME!! āExtraordinaryā by Svana_Vrika is basically canon to me at this point. Svana has a lot of sweet shorter stories with Makoto and Haru (look here, look here), but this one is everythinggg my guy. Similar appeal to āReachingā mentioned earlier: a story of interludes that bring the story we already know to life in a delightful new way. Required reading for mhtokyo fans forreal. ONE LAST ONE OKAY!! āTeacherā by VeloxVoid is a great future fic with teacher!Makoto and artist!Haru (and Iām not biased just bc it was a gift exchange for me with details fit to my specific tastes wdymš§š»). Domestic blisssss
2022 - Ooh weāve almost caught up yāall āŗļø gonna start with āAll This and Heaven Tooā by SocksAreArgyle because sometimes the bestie crafts a smorgasbord of smut with a delicious throughline of character/relationship development baked in. If you want your choice of spicy makoharus or some character exploration, youāre SET with this one. Next is āI Let My Heart Goā by martincrieff because sometimes the bestie looks at poor pining Makoto and goes āyou know what would be messed up?ā AND I JUST !!! So full of love and now full of flower petals. Hanahaki!Makoto my dearest boy!! Aaaand ending off the year with some tender mh (to Ikuyaās detriment) in āThe Night Trainā by Lizzyboo. Theyāre so softtt with each other and UGH this story is so nice. Love watching people take the crumbs from FS/FS2 and make a meal š
2023 - The year is young! And old! So hereās some more, with who knows how many bangers yet to come š First going to throw in the Makoharu Week 2023 collection for your perusal because I saw some fantastic stories emerge from that event. If you have twitter, Iād recommend also seeing some of the threadfics posted over there from the event as well šš and I thiiink Iām gonna close off for now with ājust like it was always meant to beā by tonfea because theyāve been putting out banger stories that deserve all the love. Haru introspection is one of those things that isnāt always done very well (which is especially hard to reckon with in older fics) but tonfeaās stories all have an intimate understanding about Haruās mind and journey that just makes sense.
Alright hello we made it to the end!!! Mightāve thrown in more than expected but I hope makoharu enjoyers find something on this list that fits their fancy š„² (and if anyone wants to rec something or ramble about a story here that they loved Iām all ears)
#fic recs#makoharu#oops all makoharu#a wonderful stroll through the past decade#(also I didnāt tag people but quite a few of the people I mentioned are here so uhh hiiiiii)#thanks for sending <3#anonymous

a (modern) OFMD rec list
or, do it again, but make it *au*
a small adventure by gangnamstilesĀ @sassygwaine āSo, youāve seen the Stede Bonnet shit,ā Jack says, plunking down his tankard and straddling the stool.
āSee, you all keep saying āshitā. Thatās so vague. Be specific for fuckās sake,ā Edward says, locks his phone and tosses it on the table in front of him.
āThis pompous little amateur had the nerve to ask for a review on his new podcast,ā Izzy spits the word like thatās not what theyāre doing.
had we lived by nasri Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and canāt say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.
like a flower in bloom, how the ink flows over your skin by changethecircumstances Stede finds that being a convicted felon makes job searching near impossible when the owner of a flower shop takes pity on him and gives him a job. It starts as just Stede fulfilling the requirements of his parole. He certainly didn't agree to the offer with the thought the business and the people around it would change his life.
squid-life crisis by nerbert Ed begins to tell fun facts to the strange fancy man who visits the aquarium each day.
dealt a soft hand by mintlyĀ @mintly āAre you sure youāre not married?āĀ Stede swallows. Something is tickling the back of his mind, a memory or dawning realization or the hangover exasperated by the flashing lights of Las Vegas spilling onto the disheveled bed. Stede pulls at his left glove, alarm coiling in his gut.
Ed snorts in amusement. āYeah Iām sure. I think Iād remember if I got hitched.ā
āWould you?ā Stede says shakily. He holds his hand between them. Around his ring finger is a band matching Edās exactly. Brand new, without a single scratch on it, golden and lovely.
we should just kiss (like real people do) by al_ex_an)d_er_hamiltonsĀ @al-ex-an-d-er-hamiltons āI mean, I can read a little.ā Ed continued, his tone defensive, setting his books down and throwing himself into the chair beside Stede. āThe basics, you know. C-A-T is cat, whatever. But big words trip me up, and sometimes the letters get blurry and move around the page.ā Ed ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.Ā Stede watched as Ed tried to gather his thoughts, unable to keep himself from admiring his dark eyes and long, salt-and-pepper hair.
āAnd when is the exam?ā
āIn four weeks,ā Ed said miserably, slumping over the table.
āAh,ā Stede murmured. āWell, weād better get started then, eh?ā
clean slated state by justkeeptrekkinĀ @justkeeptrekkin Stede is ready to 'get back out there' after his divorce, but he's more than a little bit intimidated by the concept of online dating. After a series of truly terrible first dates, he's close to giving up on love altogether. Perhaps he's too old for all this Grindr nonsense.
And then, along comes a bartender called Edward Teach.
on an aisle in the sun by macbethaĀ @macbetha When Stede formed Lighthouse Wedding Planning, LLC, the last event he imagined himself organizing was his ex-wifeās wedding to her long-standing boyfriend, Doug.
then the smilinā starts to hurt by bayaningbituon Ed is trying to relax on the beach, and gets interrupted by two kids and their handsome dad.
this tired world could change by gangnamstilesĀ @sassygwaine One summer day, two unlikely paths cross in the alley behind Bonnet Groupās towering skyscraper: Stede is at the end of his rope, and Edās just taking a smoke break. Of course, after theyāve become inseparable, Edās past catches up to him as Stede tries to find a way out of his own obligations, and the solace theyāve found in each other is threatened.
i wanna take you (to a gay bar) by tenely He was honestly quite flattered the fellow had messaged him, despite the circumstances. Too bad heād have to let him down. Since this wasnāt Stedeās kind of thing. He was only on the app as the result of a prank, after all, even though he couldnāt see the humor in it for the life of him.
awake and unafraid by animosities Five times Ed borrows something of Stede's and one time Stede borrows something from Ed.
or:
Thereās a man in Edās poetry seminar who equally baffles and intrigues him.Ā
kiss my lipstick on by vera_dragonmuseĀ @dragonmuse Ed stumbles into a drag bar, then a relationship. He might as well fall into a fresh understanding of himself while he's at it.

makoharu fic rec list? š
Oh gosh, where do I even begin with this!! So many fics I love, and sooooo many amazing authors, some who Iāve even been lucky enough to become friends with! Iāll do my best to include as many as possible and that I remember (itās been a while since I went through my favorite fics, and Iāve read so many that keeping track is difficult. Like you really have no idea. thereās 24 pages of history in my AO3 account, and that doesnāt include oneās Iāve read while not logged in. So you can imagine, itās hard to separate them all in memory).
But first, a few quick things:
Ā 1. These are in NO particular order, just as I found them in my history :)
2. Sorry this took me so long to answer, I got caught up re-reading a few of them while I was trying to refresh my memory...
3. Donāt be surprised most of them are NSFW. I tend to filter my fics specifically looking for it because Iām a shameless hoe so sue me
4. My descriptions are super unhelpful and mostly just my thoughts about the fic but not actually a summary of it. I recommend reading the summaries and tags as theyāre listed on AO3 for more details and sensitive content warnings!Ā
Here we go!
(NSFW)
Frenzied by ThesisĀ - I always always ALWAYS recommend this fic. Itās one of those ones I still go back to and read sometimes. Itās wonderfully suspenseful, so angsty and full of delicious smut and has a happy ending, so like, whatās not to like? 1000% a favorite fic of mine.
Dead Reckoning by furiosity - lol my AO3 history says I visited this fic 55 times if that doesnāt say how much I love it I donāt know what else willĀ
I drove all night (to get to you) by maybeillride - This one is short, but I really like the way it reads, it has a great flow and overall the tone is just super captivating. The dirty stuff is brief at the end but itās just descriptive enough to get you all warm and tingly inside :))))Ā Ā
Winter in the City by relativestranger - This fic. I followed its updates religiously and the chapter titles are a gem. I really enjoy how this author takes the time to create a world and really paint the picture of each scene, plus I love college AUs that donāt try too hard to overdo anything. Also, slowburn is the key to my heart
Coral and Bone by @macbetha - Okay sorry if this one is obvious but Macbetha is a fic writing god in this fandom and honestly, I like this one of theirs best. Talk about mermaid AUs. Very immersive, well written as usual. Iāll be honest, I havenāt had the chance to read the last few chapters, but Iām sure theyāre just as good as the rest of it.Ā
tomorrow, you might love me by nezumiprefersdanielleovershakespeare - Alrighty so I didnāt remember what this one was and I reread it and wow holy shhhiiiiiiiit this is something else. Mostly canon compliant with their high school storyline and domestic af. Plus the way this author writes is so captivating and also very Haru, itās like spot on. Gives you the major feels, some healthy angst, and of course a wonderfully happy ending.Ā
Just Friends by FruitsOfPassion- if you know me and read my fics, you KNOW this is my kind of fic. Sloppy drunk mistake hookups that lead to lots of miscommunication and angst before they both realize theyāre in love with each other. Also if I remember correctly, this one is v dirty ;)Ā
Touch Me by Gemmiel - okay there are so many good fics in this one series alone so I just recommend reading them all. The author is 10000000000%%% and thereās a really nice balance of smut and fluff and everything in between. Honestly just read everything by them itās worth it!Ā
connotation by magicianprince - this freaking fic. This is the fic that deadass inspired me to write my whole Hot for Teacher series. I have no other words, it holds a special place in my heart because of that :)Ā
Can You See Me? byĀ choking_on_roses (orphan_account)Ā - another fic that heavily inspired me. I love Rockband AUs with all the glam and drama and of course, angst. Once again, fair warning this one is unfinished and Iām pretty sure abandoned (I know, Iām still sad about it too), but itās a damn good read still.
Had we but world enough, and timeĀ byĀ anditwasstinky (thewicked)Ā - Mermaid au, hella long and an emo rollercoaster ENJOY
His Camera by LensMind - Makoto has a very dirty secret, and Haru happens to find out and simply cannot get enough of it. Very much a guilty pleasure fic, sooo juicy and the actual epitome of sexual tension and just ugh. Iād definitely consider it a favorite of mine...
Take Me Home by otp_tears - This one is really cool. A bit of sci-fi, memory loss, and a hell of a lot of angst. Basically Haruās consciousness is transferred to a new body after heĀ ādiesā from an illness, and he has to deal with remembering who he is and his relationships while Makoto has to deal with separating the Haru he knew from the Haru he is now. Itās very sad but also a super interesting concept, the author did a good job tackling a difficult fic like this!Ā
2/13189000 by tothemoon - this fic is the ultimate rec. I see it in everyoneās posts, but i canāt NOT recommend it because itās amazing. So there you go enough said just read it k thxbyeĀ
Finger Slip by thoughtless_dreamer - phone sex fic ENOUGH SAIDĀ
safe landing by heinsou - I found this on my fic-rec tag on my blog. Itās the way that the fireworks scene SHOULD have gone. Emotional rollercoaster but wow soooo worth it because this author makes you feel shit real good
(SFW)
A Kingdom For You and Me by @datheetjoella - I have an unending amount of loving words for this fic and this author. Joella has been a fic writing inspiration for me for I donāt even know how long. I can pick out her writing style without even looking at this point. Sheās incredible, and has written plenty for than just this fic which I also HIGHLY recommend (and not just because one of them is a special gift for me :3)
Me Too by Flightless_Bird - Ohh ho ho I remember the first time I read this, it gave me major goosebumps. Basically Makoto shows up for one of Haruās swim meets and there is hella sexual tension right before Haruās raceĀ Itās one of those fics that makes you wish there was a 10,000 word sequel for... other things...
Between the Raindrops by westgate - Makoto is home alone during a rainstorm and Haru is his knight in shining armour! Iām weak for protective Haru and first kiss fics, and this one is certainly a gem.
The Voltage of Our Heartbeats by @datheetjoella - another Joella fic (not surprising lmao) but this one really gets me because coincidentally, her and I were both working on power-outage fics at the same time when she wrote this. I really loved hers though, so I couldnāt resist putting this one down too hehe
Okay Iām running out of patience and quickly realizing theres so many fics I love I could work on this ask for days so hereās a second Fic Rec post I made a while ago with some repeats and a few others that are definitely worth a mention. It might be more helpful too because when I made it I actually was currently reading some of them or remembered a lot of them better.
I hope this is some sufficient reading material for you, anon! And please donāt forget to check out the fics of yours truly as well heheĀ
#asks#fic rec#makoharu#tachibana makoto#nanase haruka#harumako#free!#fanfiction#fanfiction recommendation#i wish i knew everyone's tumblr alias so I could tag them all#but that's a lot of work#so hopefully this is helpful#i'm assuming it will be at least a little#because that's a lot of fics lol#and I didn't even get through them all#I might add more later#when i'm less overwhelmed#thanks for the ask!

21, 30, 38, 39, 42! sorry if thats a lot lol
hoo boy. Thatās a lot. Here we go:
21: A domestic fic
Toy Sailboats and Tiny Sailors byĀ neptune_boundĀ (@neptune-boundā sorry for tagging you again MY BAD)
Domestic fics and established relationship fics arenāt exactly my cup of tea, but this one is just plain adorable and perfect. And relatable. And real.Ā
So yeah, Iām into that. Sue me.Ā
30:Ā A fic you stayed up all night to read
Eyes Wide Open All the Time by Macbetha
Shocker of the year, I know, but this thing is almost 400,000 words and so fucking captivating that I pulled two all-nighters to finish it. I was a mess afterwards and so sleep-deprived, but I didnāt care. Worth it.Ā
38:Ā A fic with a writing style you like
our doubts are traitors byĀ astoryaboutwar
Iām a slut for nonlinear storytelling and unreliable narrators. That is all.Ā
39:Ā A fic with dialogue you like
Fire, Walk with Me byĀ Khirsah
Oh... my... god. This fic is everything to me. The dialogue is flawless and in-character, and I think itās one of the best fics Iāve ever read just in general. Itāa also hella long, which Iām 100% here for.
42:Ā A fic from an old fandom that you still think aboutĀ
Life Signs by tarysande
Made me cry. Made me bite my nails. Made me panic and worry about how the characters were going to survive.Ā
I fuckinā loved it.Ā

hi! to nobodyās surprise, i went over the wordcount in curious cat to answer this question, so, iām answering it here.
short answer: i'd love to. long answer (seriously, i've had this typed out for a while):
i hope that i've always been clear about my stance in regard to the system: how i've seen it, in multiple instance in my personal life and also in a broader sense, be self-serving. how i have personally and systematically been effected is something that i've always hoped to share because i'm not alone in that. i don't believe in the system and i want to make a statement of that through writing.
situations in all my stories come from my own awareness, and thus, transform into commentary on the predicaments i'm seeing around me. the situation in my country specifically, and its system, is not new. above all else, i always want to be respectful. even if i'm still writing graphic, explicit things, i want to be careful - not in terms of censoring, but in terms of having the awareness that these situations are real and the effects / damages of them are very, very real.
i take this respect so seriously that when i decided to go back to school this summer and i needed an elective, i chose criminology in order to better understand how i can transfer the information properly and with care in mind in my stories. seriously, i have really, really battled with this behind the scenes. of course i wanted to better understand the system in general, but giving commentary on it in my work was a big part of why i chose that elective.
with the state of the system and learning even more about it, i promise that i've never had more to say about it. i intend to always do so regardless of the medium, but of course, writing is a big outlet for me.
i have already changed a lot of the plot for chasing the dragon. what you think might have happened probably isn't what actually happened, but i looked over every single detail to ensure i could get the message across in an even more respectful and concise way. the changes don't censor / hide the original message; it's all in the name of hoping to be sensitive. it's hard to put into words, what i'm trying to say, but - having your readers be effected by angst is completely different than portraying a real-life situation that is so horrible, you can hardly believe it's real. that's just the state of the system.
i intend to get the same message across with intense awareness of care and thought, but onto the next thing -
ok like. i'm super anxious about sharing this and iām about to start repeating myself a lot so, my bad. it feel stupid. please, please donāt get offended by this because iām not referring to hits or kudos or comments or anything like that - only my own anxiousness. i know ewoatt is my most popular work but i'm just being honest when i say i'm not sure people even want it anymore. it's been a good while since the first installation of the series and i only posted two chapters of the sequel. i would LOVE to continue the series and i have been even though nothings been posted. i mean it when i say the series was ALL i thought about while i had covid because the thought of sharing new developments made me that happy. but ewoattverse takes a lot of work and it's hard to dig that deep. i'm sure it's a lot to keep up with as a reader. i don't know if people are willing to re-learn all that information and plot for the sake of the sequel. i've thought of many fun ways i can summarize and make it easier to cram everything lol but yeah.
so, i'd love to continue it, but i'm anxious because it's been so long. i've got so much ready that i've just been too nervous to share in the name of "do ppl still want this". i understand that might sound dumb and i'm repeating myself a lot but that's just because i'm like. super nervy about this lol. not the material of the work itself but whether or not it's something ppl still want. it's just something my brain has decided to be anxious about and i just have to deal with that.Ā thank you for reading all that, seriously. i hope everyone is well and staying safe.

šš did you say coral & bone? Any thoughts you would like to share on it. Itās definitely my fave fic by Macbetha and I love all her fics.
Coral & Bone is deeeefinitely one of my favorite makoharu fics! Iāve come back to it time and time again, and I always cry at least once before the end (I blame the song āThe Night We Metā at this point; it gets me every time). Itās such a fun universe, like the camaraderie between everyone at Tridentās point and the joys of an invincible summer are so palpable and enjoyable. The connection between all of the couples, especially Makoto and Haru, is completely intense and all-consuming and I eat it right up every time.
I think the biggest draw for me is Makotoās growth and revelations throughout the story when it comes to balancing the past, present, and future in a way that honors your grief. Seeing the story from his perspective, it shows how much the love and grief he holds for all of the best and worst moments of his past weigh him down. Heās stuck hanging tightly onto a rose-colored nostalgia and all of the good he has now in Iwatobi that he canāt move forward, and seeing him grapple with accepting himself and accepting that thereās a beautiful future waiting for him once he lets go... itās a journey that feels so personal. Goodness, I could ramble about this fic forever, but Iāve already said enough in the chapter comments on ao3 lmao
#theyāre so tender in this fic and it makes me go feral every time#theyāre literally ready to give up everything for each other and I eat up that drama every timeeee#thanks for asking!!#macbetha#coral and bone#fic recs

Dude did you hear? B99 just got cancelled ššš
Yes and I really cried. That show is justā¦ so much good? Lol. The representation and humor and just - everything about it was a staple for what stories should have: humor, realism, all of it was so inspirational.

Hey Macbetha! I have a fic which hasn't updated in a month, plus a fic I need to write for a gift exchange. Thing is, I've been in such a creative slump recently and no matter how hard I try to think of ideas or pick up my tablet and start typing, I just can't. I miss writing. Got any ideas or advice on overcoming writer's block?
hi dear š Iām currently in a writing slump as well and also have the pressure of updating stuff I havenāt for a time. Usually these deadlines can help get you down to the business of actually writing, but other times itās just pressure and stress and frustrating - and not fun at all anymore. The advice Iām following right now is to give yourself time and make an effort to get inspired however that may be. Listen to music that reminds you of your stories, just let yourself daydream about it and set aside some time to just think about your stories and fall in love with them again. That unfortunately takes time, but often times itās necessary if you want to enjoy it and get inspired once more. Best of luck šāØ
