Since you just posted about your fics, any chance you might be resuming updating Time Waits for No Man in the near future? I miss your Bridgerton fics!

I'm going to be honest here, I got a little burnt out on Bridgerton. I do want to, at some point, get back to Time Waits for No Man and finish up that story, but right now every time I try to write something for it it's a bit like pulling teeth. So I'm taking a break and I hope I will get the spark back for it soon. Thanks for your understanding!

Gann slowly blinked a few times. He had no idea where he was, in the near dark it was impossible to see as well. His head hurt and he groaned softly. He tried to move his arms, but was unable to. Frowning he did it again and he was in a sort of cuffs... chains?

"Where the fuck am I?" Gann's voice sounded hoarse but it was clear enough to be heard. Nobody answered him. "Where am I?!" He yelled louder as he looked about the room.

He tugged at the cuffs but they wouldn't relent. He vaguely remembered someone attacking him in the streets on his way home, how he tried to fight them off... that's probably why he felt sore. "Hey! Come on!"

Gannicus stepped closer at Caesar's urging and the hand on his hip. His own hand remained on the other's shoulder, only when the other man rose from his seat did his hand drop to his side. He remained where he was, the touch not unwelcome. Gannicus had learned more over the weeks of Julius' reasoning behind the touches and he wasn't pushing too much. It confused Gannicus, but he let it happen.

"Even Julius Caesar needs more than fruit to sustain himself." Gannicus teased before he obediently opened his mouth and accepted the grape. The taste bursting in his mouth, he gave a smile at the compliment. "Gratitude for gentle care." He answered, he knew who he had to thank for his form, other than himself. Reaching out, he settled his own hands over Caesar's hips, resting them there. He knew Caesar liked it when he touched on his own accord.

Placing his hand on Gannicus' sharp, muscular hips, Julius brought him closer to his body. The past weeks had been kind to his new slave, enhancing his beauty even further. Rising from his seat, Julius positioned himself before the man, his hands finding rest on the lower back of his captive.

"There is fruit for the taking," he murmured, delicately placing a grape into Gannicus' awaiting mouth. "I must concede, the recent days have graced you well. You have grown more striking since your arrival," he remarked, his touch tracing along Gannicus' chiseled jawline.

Character Tag Game

Rules: pick four of your favourite characters from four pieces of media and let your Tumblr people decide which one most suits your vibe

Thank you @rebelrayne for tagging me! (even though I really struggled with narrowing it down to just four - RIP Harry from the Harry Potter books & Bellamy from The 100, you two almost made it)

For some reason, Tumblr is being rude & isn't letting me add a poll, so I will just write them in a list & people can write a comment instead:

Lewie Huey Kablooey (LITG)

Sophie Beckett (AOFAG/Bridgerton)

Unimpressed Prince Oscar cameo (royals/royal watching)

Noora Amalie Sætre (SKAM)

I'm going to break the fandom barrier by tagging @world-of-wales @silverhallow @death-of-astar @sophiamariabeckett @assortedmusings @lizisanamimal @cambridgemadness

Thank u! I guess I feel sneaky knowing she could make it if I choose the second time. But I’m purposely excluding her bc I don’t want her to ruin it lol (even tho we should have equal say) @assortedmusings

I am 100% with you on not loving Diana or Kate's ring. I like the intent behind giving Kate the ring but it has always felt a little dated. But I have well and truly never understood the Diana worship

Ok so since I’ve started this discussion I’ve been thinking a lot about what Kate’s choice for a ring would be. Also, imagine if she secretly hates it but can’t say because it’s also William’s dead mother’s ring

Weekend Fic Rec!

Something That Will Unmake Me by CapricornSae

A new fic that explores Domenico and Satu's alliance goes very differently than planned. Already has a great exploration of their motives and backgrounds.

What Are We Even Doing by @isdathriantionnsgnadh

Regency Lesbians are some of my favourite lesbians, and this cute little one-shot has it all - adorable poetry, learning, reassurance and love and an adorable kitten! Love this and if there are any more Marina/Eloise fics, let me know!

Royals by Moomin_94 (@newtonsheffield)

Not new, but its new to me okay! Love it all - Mary being a whole Queen, enemies to lovers, Kate being a beautiful princess and Anthony trying not to fall in love with her. Still waiting on the sequel!

Only You Always by tiffanytlee (@datsusara84)

The hold this fic has on me!! Loving a lot of romance books and this is one of my fave fics that remind me of them (thanks to @jeanvanjer, @hptriviachamp and @assortedmusings for all the recs I can get through!)

Ragnall & Astraea, 1269-1270 C.E. by TheModernTypewriter

Gallowglass x OC fic that I love - third part in a series and such a good and intriguing story about a young woman, Addison who keeps going back in time and is entangled with a vampire. The angst, the fluff and the detail in this is amazing!

[kateandanthonyaremyparents]

I am absolutely loving Underestimated! I'm so excited to see where it goes next which I can only hope involves several people calling Mary out on being such a terrible mom to Kate

@assortedmusings, ty so much!! 💗 so sweet of you to say!!

I'm overwhelmed by the response and I'm so excited to share it. I don't think anyone - at this point - can tell where it's going and I'm so curious how you'll respond when some of the plot starts unravel...😇

To comment on your hopes; they will, and not only LD is going to make it clear to Mary she fails Kate! 🤔

[irishseeeker]

The story of us was absolutely perfect from beginning to end, thank you so much for writing it! I'm going to miss seeing new additions to that universe but I'm very excited to see what you come up with next!

hi @assortedmusings!

thank you so much for this lovely message, especially taking time out of your day to send it-you are so kind, thank you so much <3

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! thank you so much for reading! I sometimes thought I'd never get there haha but it's finally finished! I know, I'm actually going to miss it too. I've spent a lot of time writing it over the last few months and it's also my first Bridgerton multi-chapter I've ever finished!

I do have 3 new WIPs - and also (finally) getting to my current ones rules don't apply and IBWFY-coming out soon as well ! There's a sports fic, a holiday fic & a royalty fic!

Thanks so much - hope you have a lovely day!

So it's a bit too large, but not because my measurements were incorrect; it's because I've lost 14lbs! Nick says it looks good on me though, so I'm going to stick with it instead of ripping it out.

Hi! I was just re-reading some of your Bridgerton fanfiction and I really appreciate those stories. I know you're taking time off from that fandom but I wanted thank you for your previous contributions and I hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're still enjoying those stories. I'm doing well and have been writing for some old fandoms of mine, and some new ones too, so the creative juices are still flowing. Thank you for such a sweet ask.

[ronandhermy]

I was extremely excited for your fuck it and elope fic and it absolutely did not disappoint! Any chance of more snippets from this AU and Kate and Anthony not giving a shit about their selfish and oblivious family members?

So glad you liked it!

I am surprised how many people are invested in it and want it to continue. I am working on a second part to it, but I don't know how long it will be or if there will be more after that. This one shot came to when I was watching the end of 2x06 and Kate and Anthony had kissed and I was like "in what damn world is Anthony letting Kate go after he has made out with her before God?" And I came to the conclusion that an elopement would have very much been in the cards.

Also, the half-sister line and Lady Mary kicking Kate out bothered me SO DAMN MUCH so now I am making my spiteful revenge fic everyone's problem. No one puts Kate in a closet/corner.

[ronandhermy]

Waking up and seeing that you've updated one of your stories is the best way to wake up. I remain extremely into Tatta and am real excited to see where you end up with it!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far.

[ronandhermy]

I have reread all your Kate and Anthony fics in the last 24 hours and they all remain excellent. Thank you so much for writing and sharing them and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Thank you so much!!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed my fics although, wow, all of them? you've read all of them? Thank you so much for your support.

Currently working on a follow up to Choices and some one shots for the Red Thread verse.

[ronandhermy]

I am soooo excited for your new fic!

Thank you! I saw the prompt and couldn't resist. I think it will be a fun story to write overall.

[ronandhermy]

Hey I've loved all your recent Kate and Anthony fics and I'm super excited to read whatever you come up with next!

Thank you! Just trying my best out here in the trenches of fanfiction
