#homecoming romance

[fated-mates]

Seven-timer Kate Clayborn returns to the Fated Mates studio (lol, jk there is no studio) to talk about about going home again in romance and to celebrate the launch of her new book, Georgie All Along, which you can get this week wherever books are sold! We talk about all the ins and outs of homecoming romances, what sends characters back to the beginning, what readers expect from these books, why they hit so hard and in so many ways, and how this trope intersects with small town romance. All that, and Sarah’s brought an X,Y chart to class.

You can find links to all the books we talked about in show notes.

[thatonemarvelchick]

Winter Sun (series)

Summary: Apricity Stringer has been alone for most of her life. She was content with it, comfortable. Until she (literally) runs into him, Peter Parker. He's entrancing. Little does she know, he's been pretty lonely too. When Apricity starts to learn about her past and who she really is, she'll need Peter's help to figure it all out. But Peter doesn't want anyone close to him to get hurt again. Will they make it out alive, or get caught in the web of lies surrounding them both?

Ok so I've recently been on a mission to read as much of the Choices catalog as possible since there are so many underrated books on there besides the boring smut ones. I think my last reading list is a lil outdated, inaccurate, and harder to find, so for my convenience I'm making a separate post.

My goal is to knock out the single books before starting the series for efficiency's sake, so most of the books on the priority list are single books

Priority

Kindred (CURRENTLY ON)

The Crown and the Flame (CURRENTLY ON)

Immortal Desires?? I've been curious about it for awhile

It Lives Beneath (ALREADY STARTED...)

A Billionaire's Baby (diamond mining)

Endless Summer (ALREADY STARTED...)

Murder at Homecoming

Secondary

Guinevere

With Every Heartbeat

Laws of Attraction Series

America's Most Eligible

Red Carpet Diaries

Rules of Engagement

Break Glass in Case of Emergency

The Royal Romance/The Royal Heir

The Freshmen Series

High School Story

Feel free to recommend more books that you feel like recommending!

Current MC & OC List

Jasmine Nefaletzi (Kindred)

Velaska Prescott (It Lives Beneath)

Natasha LeNoir (RCD)

Summer Reverie Layne (ES; OC)

Minerva Kallias (MAH)

Saoirse Lemoncello (TBB)

You can find the full list of my MCs and OCs on my pinned post!

Completed Books and Mini Opinions

The Elementalists: I LOVED this series it had flaws but it was super fun to play!! I love my powerful MC and my sarcastic twin, and I'm a sucker for elemental magic systems and magic centered schools imao

A Courtesan of Rome: AAAAAAAH WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK BESIDES HOW AMAZING IT WAS!! I feel like this was a historic book that felt accurate y'know and ofc ACOR MC is literally *chef's kiss* just an absolute baddie we have no choice but to stan <3 she had all of Rome on her knees as she should!!

Crimes of Passion 1 and 2: I think objectively the original book was better but this one was more replayable/entertaining solely because of the Thorne siblings but i wish the mystery and the plot twist were handled better in Book 2 specifically

Bloodbound Series: UGH IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! It still had flaws and I would have added/rewritten things but it's definitely one of the best and most satisfying series PB has ever written

Ride or Die: IT WAS AMAZING A+ I'm so sad the sequel got canceled it deserved so much more :(

Nightbound: IT WAS PRETTY GOOD i miss them already and want a sequel now. It's very replayable which I always appreciate

[rosesnink]

- cheryl addams, aileen stone & elsie clarence: cousins -

three years aileen's senior, cheryl and aileen's mothers were identical twins who had different paths in life. both with a studious nature, cheryl was more of a rule-follower meanwhile aileen slowly became a rule-bender, especially when she found her love in investigation.

when aileen was fifteen, she heard about the mercy park case, and immediately found the connection between her cousin and the crew, and called and begged her to tell her all about it. she had been her support since perdita went missing, and hearing about her shenanigans truly helped. cheryl was equally supportive when aileen solved the navarro case, and celebrated soon her coming-of-age together.

meanwhile, elizabeth 'elsie' clarence was the most tranquil of her cousins, and unlike them, her life seemed aimless... until she met dakota winchester and found her vocation for acting. the middle of the cousins, she called both aileen and cheryl when her first role was as the corrupt cop's daughter who took matters in her own hands, and finally opened up about how she felt towards dakota's loss.

July 24th is National and International Private Investigator day!

About: Since Crimes of Passion II is currently releasing and our MC is a private detective, I thought this could be a great day to celebrate the book and our detectives with @choicesbookclub. However, mysteries are a part of many Choices stories, making our MCs and fave characters private detectives even if unofficially, so this event is now OPEN TO ALL CHOICES BOOKS and characters

How to Participate:

Shadows & Deceptions: A Royal Murder Mystery + Giveaway with @bayleedrawsx

This is a very open to interpretation event as long as your submission has something do with a mystery, being an investigator, solving a crime, and/or something of that nature it's perfect. You probably have better ideas than I do about how to use this event in your stories/worlds! (Some prompts/ideas to think about below)

* Just tag the blog and I'll share your work: @choicesmonthlychallenge.

* If you are creating for COP, you may also share with @choicesbookclub

I proposed a murder mystery crossover story [here]. In my head it was going to be short and more like a puzzle for you to solve—like, here is the setting, here are the characters, this is the crime, here are the suspects, and this is what happened. When I posted about it initially it was about 1,000 words total. It kind of turned into a full fan fic story at about 5,500 words. I still am posting it as part of the event, but I'll be doing it on my personal blog (@storyofmychoices) since the story and this event kind of got away from me. I still hope it's good and you'll enjoy it!

It will still be posted in smaller sections over the 4 days of this event to give people time to read and hypothesis what happened and who is responsible

Some ideas to get you started

As mentioned initially, there is still a GIVEAWAY!!! (since in my head the first person to solve the mystery would "win"!) @bayleedrawsx has agreed to assist with the giveaway but now you don't have to correctly solve the mystery (especially since the ending has a twist now), you just have to enjoy the ride. Any one who comments on or reblogs with a comment with their theories, thoughts, ideas, ect. will be entered in the giveaway. You can get 1 entry for each part of the story you interact with. (Likes and reblogs without comments do not count).

There will be 3 winners: 1 (one) winner will get a 2 character minimalist commission with Baylee and 2 (two) seperate winners will get a 1 character minimalst commission with Baylee.

create a dossier for one of your characters [Template Here]

create a business card, social media edit, advertisement for your detective (whether they are official or it's just a hobby)

create a detective/investigation fic, moodboard, edit, etc.

create a crossover event [some ideas here]

explore the every day mysteries your character might investigate (friend's secret crush/relationship, who ate the last cookie, trying to find the missing items (sock, shoes, pen, keys, glasses, etc), tracking down a secret recipe)

are any of your MCs, OCs, and/or LIs addicted to the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel? If so, what's their guilty pleasure?

did mysteries or detective stories play a role in your MCs / OCs lives when they were children (or later)? Did they ever play pretend? Did they have a favorite author?

create a newspaper/magazine edit/article about a mystery in your characters world and how it was solved (maybe it's a real case, or maybe it's a medical case, or something else)

find a detective/investigation/mystery story to use as a basis for @choicesprompts 's Rewrite Challenge

Guidelines

All creative work is accepted (writing, text fics, social media posts, moodboards, edits, art, songs, head canons, etc)

Use the read more/keep reading tool to prevent long posts

Please tag anything that is NSFW and/or triggering appropriately

Minors, please be responsible and DNI with posts labeled 18+/NSFW

You can combine your submission for this event with the Book Club if it is COP related and with any other events happening in the fandom.

have fun

be kind

This event is kind of a hot mess and I apologize! I really don't know what I thought I was doing lol

Got ideas, prompts, suggestions? Please LMK!

All thoughts and additions welcome!

[peonyblossom]

*only including books that are fully wide released

Mini Fanfic #1154: Homecoming (SSBU X Wario Ware x Persona 5)

10:16 a.m. at Diamond City's La Glorious Cruise Boat........

Ashley: (Let's Out a Sigh While Standing Next to Lucason the Tip of the Cruise) Well, that vaction was.....certainly something to remember.

Lucas: Tell me about it. I still can't believe Wario sacrificed himself to save the entire island.

Ashley: I can somewhat believe that. Considering all the crazy adventures he keeps getting himself roped in, I wouldn't be too surprised if he find some way to get out it. Eventually.

Lucas: ('Sigh') That's true. I hope he won't get too lonely by then.....Or at least get cranky enough to blow a literal casket.

Ashley: (Casually Shrugs) Better a casket than the lower area of the body.

Lucas: (Chuckles a Bit) Yeah.

'A Bit of Silence'

Lucas: Hey, Ashley?

Ashley: Hm?

Lucas: (Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth with a Soft, Bit of a Sheepish Smile on his Face) I-I know you guys are already gotten tired of me saying this, but I really can't thank you all enough for inviting me along on this trip. It was really fun.

Ashley: (Giggles a Bit) Honestly, Lucas, that's like what? The fourth or fifth time you thanked us? There's really no need for you keep doing that. (Hugs her Boyfriend Lovingly) All that matter to us is that you had yourself a good time out of all of it.

Lucas: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness as He Hugs his Ashley Back) Thank you~

Ashley: (Puts on a Fake Pouty Look on her Face)

Lucas: (Giggles Softly) T-This the time last time I'm saying that, i promise!~

Ashley: (Playfully Raises an Eyebrow at Lucas) Hmm....I'll take your word for it, IF....(Forms a Smirk on her Face) You promise to join us on future trips going forward. (Smiles Brightly) AND you gimme a kiss~

Lucas was about to say something until the sound of laughter is heard behind by none other than their science geek of a friend, Penny.

Penny: Gosh, Ashley!~ (Forms a Teasing Smirk on her Face) I didn't take you for the kind of gal to make exchange for a simple kiss~ You little goober~

Ashley: (Groans Before Bashfully Glaring at Penny) P-Penny, you nosy know-it-all, it wasn't like that at all!! (Starts Turning Away While Waving her Hair Back) I just....wanted to make sure he fulfill his promise is all.....

Penny: By having him offer you a kissy-kiss?~

Ashley: I WILL HEX YOU!!

Lucas: (Giggles Some More) Ashley, it's okay!~ I don't mind giving you a kiss if you wanted one.

Ashley: (Eyes Widened For a Brief Second Before Blushing Some More and Turning Away Again) I-I do, but.....(Turns Back to Lucas) Would you still like to join us on future trips next time?

Lucas: (Gives Ashley a Kiss on the Cheek Before Giving her a Bright Smile) I'd love too.

Ashley: (Heart Starts to Melt as She Hugs Lucas Again)

?????: D'Awwwww~

The duo turns to see everyone else on the boat staring and gushing at this adorable display, causing Ashley even headache.

Ashley: (Glares at Everyone Else Present) Do you people not know the concept of privacy anymore!?

Everyone starts chuckling lghtly as they go back to their own activities.

Ashley: ('Sigh') Anyways, Penny, any reason why you came here to meet us? Besides being annoying.....

Penny: (Pouts at Ashlely Oh come on, I'm not THAT bad to deal with!

Ashley: I highly doubt it.

Penny: Yeah, well, doubtfulness could only lead you so far. But to answer your question, I'm here to give your Romeo his phone. (Pulls Out Lucas' Phone Out of her Lab Coat Pocket) It's fully charged and ready to go for three and a half whole days!~

Lucas: (Struck in Awe as Receives his Phone By From Penny) Woah....Your charger really IS more powerful than mines.... Thanks, Penny! (Turns his Phone On Only to Frown a Bit to See That They're No Text Messages Received) Hm....

Penny: Your pals still haven't text back yet?

Lucas: ('Sigh') No, not yet. Maybe they're still asleep? Or stuck in traffic? (Eyes Starts to Widened in Complete Panic and Worry) They're not involved in an accident of some kind, are they!?

Ashley: I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, Lucas. Look.

Ashley points Lucas and Penny to everyone of their friends standing on the docks with a "Welcome Back♡!~" sign above their heads, waving at them at an upcoming distance.

Lucas: (Genuinely Surprised at What He's Looking At) No way......Is that really them?

Penny: (Taps on the Top Side of her Glasses and Uses Them as a Highly Technical Binoculars) Hmmm......Yep. No doubt about it. And it looks like that lady in the pigtails is waving a flag over there with your name on it.

Lucas: (Giggles Softly) That's Big Sis Ann!~ She can be really silly sometimes.

Ashley: In more ways than one.

Meanwhile (And Minutes Later) at the Docks..........

Shiho: (Turns to her Girlfriend Who's Still Wavong the Flag Around) Ann, you've been waving that thing for an hour now, you sure you're not tad bit worn out there?

Ann: Nope! Didn't spent all night making this flag and sign and building up more of my arm muscles to up and quit now! Not until I see my Little Sunflower walkong out that boat

?????: Heyyyyyyyy!~

The duo amd the others turns to see Lucas and Ashley happily waving at them as the boat starts to park right beside the dock they're standing on.

Kids: Ashley!~ Lucas!~

Ann: MY BABY!~ (Turns to her Girlfriend to Hand her the Flag) Shiho-Kins, you mind holding this for me? Thanks! (Rushes Over to her Little Sunflower) I'M COMING, LUCAS!~

Shiho: ('Sigh') Okay.

Lucas: (Rushes Out of the Boat While Happily Extending his Arms Out) Big Sis Ann, I'm finally back!~ (Rushes Over to Ann)

Ann: I know!~ Welcome back!~ (Happily Picks Lucas Up and Twirls Him.and Herself Around a Little Before Hugging Him) You have NO IDEA how much I missed you these past few weeks!~

Shiho: (Walks Over to the Duo Along with the Others) It's true. Poor girl's been moping about you all day here. It was cute for a while.

Penny: (Walks Out of the Boat Along with her Co-Workers) Helloooooo, Diamond City!~ Been a long while, but we're back!~

Ashley: (Puts Down a Red Duffle Bag She Was Carrying with Her) We got a bunch of souvenirs in this bag if anyone wants any.

The Smash Kids cheers in rejoice as they over and see what they're inevitably get inside.

Penny: (Walks Over Ann and Lucas) Soo you must be the silly lady Lucas mentioned.

Ann: Why, yes I- (Eyes Starts to Widen) Wait. (Starts Pouting at Lucas Beside Her) Silly!?

Lucas: (Shrugs Sheepishly) W-What can I ask say?~ You do have your moments from time-to-time.

Ann: The heck I do! (Turns Away) I'll have you know that I am the most ladylike young woman in all Shiyuba thank you very much.

Shiho: (Already Unconvinced) Yeah, it was realll lady like of you to keep snoring out loud all night and burping without a single "Excuse Me" coming out of that mouth if yours

Ann: (Starts Blushing Before Glaring at her Girlfriend) Shiho! They don't need to know about that!

Shiho: (Shrugs With a Playful, Smug Look on her Face) Oops. Information must've slipped. Sorry~

Ann: (Suddenly Hears the Sound of Giggling Before Turning Back to Lucas) And what got YOU in laughing mood right now, mister?

Lucas: Oho nothing~ (Forms a Playful Smirk in his Face as Well) Just couldn't help bit notice how unladylike you truly are all along. For shame really~

Shiho: (Giggles Softly) Very much so~

Ann: Oh that's rich coming from someone in my kissing range!~

Lucas: ('GASPS') On my very own homecoming? You wouldn't!~

Ann: I would amd then some. Now c'mere you!~ (Starts Kissing Lucas on the Cheek)

Lucas: (Giggles Ticklishly by Ann's Rapidfire Kisses) HahahahaAnn quit ittt!~ It tickles more than ever now, come on!~

Ness: (Smiles Brightly at Ashley and Penny) So I take you guys had a good time on that trip of yours?

Ashley: For the most part. It was hectic on a few areas, but it was still nice experience nonetheless. How have you guys been since we were gone?

Ness: Pretty good. Less rowdy without you two around that's for sure. (Grabs his Chin) Although, that might be due to the fact we were too busy getting ourselves ready for our next family trip coming up.

Lucas: (Turns to Ness) Trip?

Ann: (Cease her Kisses as Her Eyes Starts Widening Again in Realization) Oh right! Lucas, we gotta pack our bags later on today. We're going to New Donk City.

Lucas: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) For Christmas?

Ann: (Smiles Brightly) For the rest of December! Until New Years Day I think?

Ness: Yeah, Mayor Pauline invited the whole Smash Family to come along. Apparently it was all planned out from the very start of the year I think.

Ashley: Is that right? Guess our trip adventures continues onwards then, not that I'm complaining.

Penny: You guys to get stay there AND see Pauline for a whole month? (Starts Pouting a Bit) Lucky.....

Ashley: (Turns to Penny) You're welcome to come along with us if you want.

Shiho: Yeah, we could convonce Mario and them to agree. The more the merrier.

Penny: (Smiles Softly) Thanks, guys, but I promised grandpa that I would help him and the bots with a few unfinished projects back in the lab, so I'll have to decline the offer. But do you think you could do be a huuuge solid and record a video of Pauline performing in any way for me, Ash?

Ashley: Sure. I'll also find you a Christmas gift While I'm at all. For the holidays and whatnot

Penny: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness) Ashley~ (Gives Ashley a Loving Hug) You sweetheart!~ I'll get gifts for you and Lucas for sure, I promise!~

Ashley: Don't really habe to do that, but.....(Starts Blushing) T-Thanks anyways.....

Shiho: Hey has anyone seen Wario around here?

Ann: Yeah, I don't think I see walked out of that boat now that I think about it.

Lucas: Okay. Uh.....Sort of Funny Story here, but.....a lot has happened during our time at the Island and Wario-

A burning fireball suddenly came falling and crashing down on the middle of the docks, much to everyone's surprise and shock. They look down and see Wario planted face down on the top of the water covered in scorch and smoke.

Ashley: Is now here apparently......

Penny: Wario, gurgle more than one time for us if you're still alive!

Wario starts gurgling in pain as he slowly starts sinking down under the lake.

Penny: Well, at least he's not dead yet.

Ashley: ('Sigh') As expected.
