#chew me up but don't spit me out

[plumbprincess]

How do I tell my boss I can't attend her call because james potter is currently licking regulus black's legs after getting back together and is very important that I pay my absolute attention to them right now.

for me? I guess its the way I'll never be able to listen to Escapism without my mind taking me through the heart-wrenchingly beautiful story that is CMU

[dreamer0903]

Only on chapter 2 of "Chew me up but don't spit me out" by Damagecontrol and I'm already obsessed.

GO READ IT.

(Also...I don't think the author will be upset if I share snippets of the fic just to comment it??? But if you know they don't like it pls tell me, and I will stop, I'm just loving it, sm and I wanted to share!!)

NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT HE DID THIS FOR ME AND ME ALONE

[lee-isnotcool]

the final chapter of my favorite fic came out...y'all know what that means!!!!

FIC REVIEW TIME LETS FREAKING GO

Fic: Chew me up but don't spit me out

author: @imdamagecontrol

length: 260k words (mid-length fic)

summary: stripper au where reg left grimmauld a couple years after sirius didn't come back for him and dances to help pay for uni and billionaire ceo james 'walks in'... deviousness and tomfoolery ensues in first dates to italy and much longing and horniness.

review: oh my god. this is going to age into a marauders classic. obviously we have to start with the jegulus: they are PERFRCT. this is the perfect jegulus dynamic omg james is literally sunshine boy and reg is this emotionally unavailable little shit and they want each other SOOOO BAD- reg is genderfluid in this fic, which is honestly one of my favorite hcs along with trans reg. their journey to figuring out their gender actually was so special to me (i'm a genderfluid presenting trans guy) and i loved the way it was portrayed. BLACK BROTHERS ANGST REIGNS SUPREME OMG idk why i like torturing myself so much but this is peak. sirius is also genderfluid and helps reg out once they reconcile. endgame jeggy obviously and background wolfstar.

guys i mean it when i say u NEED to read this. i fully broke into the media room at my no-phone sleep away camp so i could check if this had updated. (it had. it was the black brothers reconciliation chapter. i cried.) ANYWAY READ THIS MASTERPIECE AND WELL DONE @imdamagecontrol !!!!!!!

ITS THE LITTLE THINGS ( for theo @cinnamunspice )

Accepting || Send "It's The Little Things" + my muse will tell your muse something that they notice about them. @cinnamunspice

"'Perfection' is the first word that comes to mind when I think of you, Theo. It's terrible of me to think this way, we're not the same person, but because of our similarities, being clones, I can't help but think you're perfect in comparison to me. Or damn close to perfection." Thad shakes his head. His words weren't coming out correctly at all. He might have seen Theo as 'perfect' or 'better,' but that was the exact thing he was trying to put upon her. The pressure of perfection. The pressure of others perceptions of her and trying to live up to it. He didn't want that for her in the least. "You just outwardly seem more put together is all. Confident."

"But at the same time I think you're like a mirror that's about to shatter at any moment. I don't think you're weak or fragile, but I think its because of the pressure of having to be 'perfect,' whether for the sake of yourself or because of others. I can see it in everything you do from the way you hold yourself, how you speak sharply and concisely, how your hair is cut and without flaw, or styled without a single strand out of place." He smiles at her and places his hand a top of her head, "I think that's part of why I like messing up your hair. It makes me feel like I don't have to worry." And with a laugh he affectionately ruffles her hair. But the other part was that he was simply fond of Theo. Like a younger sibling he never had. She was important to him. And that was exactly how Thad showed it. Through the fond little touches.

"You don't need to be perfect because just cause that's what others expect of you. You don't need to live up to anyone else's expectations than your own. Just live your own life, do all the things you love, and be with the people you want." Thad says touching at the corner of his eye with his thumb,wiping something unperceptible away. "It's your life. That's enough." Maybe, just maybe, those were the same words he wanted to here in his youth.

Honestly so iconic of Gus for his first crush to be on a girl who ended up being a grave robber. He didn't know that at the time but I feel like it's indicative of who he is as a person. Matt is only slightly better (still a weird fucker with loose morals but at least he helped foil that particular grave robbing)

[arggghhhsstuff]

just read the last cmu update and AAAAARRGGHGHH THIS FIC. THIS FUCKING FIC I SWEAR. I FEEL SO MUCH. WHAT THE FUCK

[lovelaceisntdead]

Actually now I cannot stop thinking about Free as the Lottie song. I'm always running from something I push it back but it keeps on coming. Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated. If I would feel better just lightly sedated. Being clever never got me very far.

It's all in my head. You're too sensitive, they said.

I said okay but let's discuss this at the hospital.

IS THIS HOW IT IS? IS THIS HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN? TO EXIST IN THE FACE OF SUFFERING AND DEATH AND SOMEHOW. STILL. KEEP. SINGING.

But there's nothing else that I know how to do. But to open up my arms and give it all to you.

[jojotichakorn]

listen, as much as i would love to be bubbly and friendly to everyone, i'm sometimes kind of glad a lot of people perceive me as intimidating because i have such an easy time shutting down bullshit simply because they are genuinely scared of what i might say
