Seeing all the pawpaw trees ive seen this week has reawakened my desire to find them back home

Ive gone through all the pawpaw sightings on inaturalist in the lawrence (there aren't many) and favorited all the ones that have (basically) exact locations in public areas and hiking trails

Im going pawpaw hunting when I get home

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😍 Renegades (crinklefries) - 142K, Stucky space bounty hunter AU - loving & creative mashup of all your fave space tropes + mcu canon + extra gayness - love a found family that is bound together because they are "just a whole ship of people with a single brain cell to pass around and no common sense to be found."

🙂Port in a Storm (Kitten and Witch #1) (K.L. Noone) - novella

😍 One Last Stop (Casey McQuiston, author; Natalie Naudus, narrator) - really enjoyed this! outstanding queer found family vibe.

😍🥰 Scents and Sensibility: The Working Assassin's Guide to Supersoldier Seduction (galwednesday, silentwalrus, skellerbvvt) - 93K, Stucky - aka The Clownfish AU - someone on one of my Discord servers mentioned this and then I had to go back to reread because it is definitely one of my desert island fics. Shout out to Manuela, one of the best OCs ever created for a fic, hope you took a month-long vacation to the Caribbean after what you had to put up with, we thank you for your service.

🙂 Claimed by the Orc Prince (The Orc Prince Trilogy #1) (Lionel Hart) - short, lots of my fave tropes including size difference, if this were fic it would have the ‘wet and messy’ tag

🙂 Marrying Winterborne (The Ravenels #2) (Lisa Kleypas, author; Mary Jane Wells, narrator) - decently entertaing for a traditional cishet historical about rich white people; in a couple of places the MMC walked a little close to the 'alphahole' line but nothing that spoiled the book (for me, ymmv). and I have to say that it did some unexpected things with plot - ftr I was motivated by this tweet

plus 36K of shorter fic so shorter work shout out

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

it's the thot that matters (Deisderium) - Stucky, 9K - final (for now) installment in the tale of dragon!steve and vampire!bucky

What the fuck, let's get fucking married (100 times) (profoundalpacakitten) - Stucky, 8K - absolutely fucking hilarious story prompted by the fact that in MT you can have a marriage with TWO proxies so what if you fall for and pine after the person you marry over & over again (on someone else’s behalf)?
