liquid gold (new fic!)

fandom | LITG

endgame pairing | Alex x MC

synopsis |

Rory Baker has never been in love. But now she's standing in the middle of the infamous Casa Amor, all the possibilities and opportunities laid out before her, as endless as the sea. Fed up with all the meaningless hook-ups and waking up to strangers, she wants more.

Will she succeed in turning one of the boys' heads? And, more importantly, will she be able to fall in love?

genre(s) | a little (or maybe a lot? Idk yet) angst. fluff. drama. explicit content. MC has never been in love before.

pov | alternating. From MC’s to Alex’s to Summer’s…

a/n | I know I’m crazy for doing this but you gotta ride the wave, right? I really wanted to commit to my Toby fix it fic but I just couldn’t do it. It wasn’t fun. So I’m having fun with this fic instead. Obviously, I don’t know any more than anybody else, so going forward, a lot of the time I guess I’ll just have to wing it, which is a new experience for me as well but I’m excited. I’m writing this more for me than anybody else but thought I’d share it nonetheless 🫶🏼

we love a cozy king

nsfw version coming soon 🤭🥰

[eskiix]

Calling it now, Alex will be my next LITG obsession.

He's so hot and wholesome.

He can fit me a kitchen, take me for dinner with his family and then bang me all night long.

Volume 2 Thoughts

What is the point of having the boys make breakfast if we're just gonna go immediately into a challenge? And why is the challenge so early in the day?

Raunchy Races.... they used to be my favorite part of casa, but they're just dumb prompts now. "Most popular boy" and "most creative girl" aren't it. And why were 90% of them Alex?

I did LOVE all the little reassurances from Joyo, especially him telling me that Uma's kiss had nothing on mine. (I love him your honor)

We have to pay to win?! That's just greedy FB.

Convo with Raf was kinda cute, but I have him SHOVED into the friendzone. Not to pull a Nicky but... little brother vibes all the way from me.

And we're already leaving casa?!? WTF, that's so soon!

Oh wow, Summer "kissed" someone and I have to spend my dates talking to the boys about it and not actually learning anything. That's totally what I wanted to spend my time doing!

Alex's and Raf's dates were.... fine. But damn, Bryson gave me an even bigger ick on his date (no shade to those who like him, he's just NOT my thing)

Joyo's date 😍. The kiss at the end was so goofy but still hot. I think @mrsbsmooth nailed it when she said he's got some Lucas vibes (I'd add some vague Levi vibes too and I'm here for all of it).

Learning about the summer "kiss" was the least surprising thing to happen yet. I'm happy Joyo put her gently in her place, but damn, that was dumb.

Spin the bottle is a fun idea, but when I'm the only one doing any kissing it might as well just be truth or dare.

A flirt off?! Seriously?! I've never passed so quickly on a gem scene in my life.

The rooftop terrace thing was cute, but the sex scene was meh (and I'm finishing kinktober before I write Joyo smut! .... probably).

All in all, the characters still felt the same as last week, which is an improvement at times from S6, even if I felt the presence of AI more in this volume. I wish we had more time in casa, it all feels very rushed. Still going damn near feral for Joyo, even if I wish he'd just flat out tell me he's taking me back instead of dancing around the subject. Honestly more confused about who's coming with us. Don't think it'll be Summer, Uma is 50/50, and Bonnie has to come back since she's an LI but ... she's not vibing with anyone.

Bonus theory about Cassius: I think he's the guy Daph is kissing in casa. She's gonna switch to him and Raf is either gonna switch to us when he sees Cassius in the postcard or one of the other boys will take Raf girlies to the villa for Raf's benefit.

Hello my darling friends! Happy release day! I hope you enjoy it💕

Of course i didn’t forget about release day haha nope nope not at all👀

[perfectlysunny02]

so can we talk about baby girl Rafael? please, i need to talk about this man

[makingthepeace]

Why does our original li straight up disappear if we want to explore things with Vicky? 😭 just because I prefer Vicky to Travis doesn't mean I'd go Bonnie over Raf.

Chapter 22: of omelettes and confessions

Rory squealed as she noticed Alex approaching the recliner she was sitting on, carrying a tray with domes covering - no doubt - a sumptuous breakfast spread.

The soft gurgling of the water in the pool next to her, the sun on her skin, the silence - ugh, today felt like a slice of heaven.

The rest of the group was probably still asleep, but Alex had woken her earlier than usual and told her to get ready and then come down to the pool because he'd prepared a surprise for her.

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't expecting to write and post an entire oneshot today. But I got tagged on the writer's discord, and here it is: a Roberto stick or switch fic where the boys don't see MC on the post card, the ceremony order makes sense and my fellow Roberto Stans get the reunion we deserved.

[0shewrites0]

OMG I’M THE SAME AFAGSHDJDJS 😭 my husband hates me for it but I need it or I won’t be able to watch 😭

Please tell me you’re joking!!why df would they do that!!how are we suppose to go the entire season without spoilers-

I’m shrugging babe. We won’t know the challenges, and future islanders, who’s got which assets (or makes it back to the villa), nada.

I hate it. I think last season was a perfect balance of spoilers. We could guess and theorise and get engaged but now it’s kinda nerve wracking and I feel like I have no control over it, which makes me anxious and I kinda don’t wanna play 😭 I’m the kind of person who looks up the plot of movies to see if a character dies so I can be emotionally prepared for it like PLEASE fb let us have SOME spoilers 😭

[queen-of-boops]

💕 My name is Trystan and I'm a speech-language pathologist from St. Ives.

My friends would probably describe me as flirty, bubbly and a little bossy. Of course, I don't think I'm bossy, but I usually get what I want.

The boys all look stunning, and I've got my eye on Joyo for now. I can't wait to see how they'll react when I walk into Casa Amor! 💕

FC: Alexis Ren

I know @operationnope made a moodboard for her S7 MC and throught it might be fun to turn it into a tag game since a few others were considering it (no pressure obviously!). So I'm gonna get the ball rolling with @operationnope, @rebelrayne and @willkimurashat

LITG TEMPTING FATE: CASA IS HEREEEEE

okayyy!!! i spy with my little eye 3 hotties

this is the face of a man who's unreliable 👇

Claudia chill I wasn't actually serious when I said I would couple up with you sorry

OMG BEA LIKES WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway chill I'm trying to be loyal here

first day of casa ✅ still not a cheater

ofc they would cut Bea in the middle of what she had to say...

raunchy is always so fun I love kissing boys just for the fun

yeah, I am the funniest, the most travelled and also I'm a dancer, so yeah, I'm the sexiest dancer

and why would anyone think EMEL is the wildest girl? c'mon

these are the eyes of a man who lost his soul 👇

guys never mind he's actually hilarious

what do you mean WE HAVE TO SWITCH?

I don't want to switch? I want my boyfriend back

is it just me or do you guys also want to bite Kyle? just me? ok!!

yadda yadda everyone loves me yadda yadda

Max is literally a child omg

fusebox I fucking hate you

anyway party time!!!!!

I don't hate it but I also don't love it. the tits are great but the pants could fit better

MCs body is tea

"I had sex in all the continents" followed by this:

OKAY OKAY I KISSED HIM ALRIGHT??

but what about it? Jin apparently was saying this girl was a proper head-turner so he can cope

he cheated emotionally, when you think about it that's even worse

and now Emel is moaning Kyle's name

great.

this volume pissed me off. let see what this mess leads me to. gotta say, they keep me entertained

[alitgblog]

okok finally caught up on litg s9

gonna try to summarize this neatly bc my game didn't save properly and I played volume 10 twice and sped through volume 11

Zeph is hot and thats a problem for me bc I'm so annoyed at the lack of branching and consequences in this game it has manifested into me making up story for fusebox about MC being upset that Stefan keeps acting like nothing is wrong when I personally am still upset casa amor got Chen dumped (ok that was my fault technically but only bc I wanted him to come back to drama). So now I'm like MC should have a summer fling with Zeph, why not

they're so wishy washy about how Kelly and Finn broke up and it just all feels like hearsay all the time. at the end of volume 11 they seem to decide Kelly thought it was all done pretty respectfully but her comments in volume 10 about movie night seem to disagree??? just asking for a little bit of consistency since I gotta track other people's drama other than my own

also so sorry to kelly who is actually interested in zeph and I am less so interested in him and more just annoyed at the bad writing for stefan

the writing has always been stilted and/or cringe but for some reason I notice it especially with Zeph, like it does feel like his dialogue was written by AI unfortunately. And it puts me off his character a lot, except, again, he's hot and so maybe I'm just like hey don't hurt your pretty head trying to think up romantic scenarios, Zeph. Something odd about him too is he doesn't mention any previous connection to Love Island, and I know he's a new character, but at least Henri and Chen talked about their last times on the show.

I'd like to apologize

I don't know what surprise we're getting next volume but for my own storyline I kinda want the guy dumped post casa to come back. like I'd go back to Chen easy. but this is my delusional ass still just hoping we get drama from casa bc they dropped the ball on it again this season. Curious about talent show but considering how they fucked up Mr Love Island I have little hope.

I forgot this meant we'd have to deal with eddie. hes there like Johnny/Nicolas to the point where I almost prefer if it was one of them around but at least his chaos run makes more sense than johnny/Nicolas just randomly deciding to stir shit out of nowhere after leading MC on and the game forcing us to couple with them.

Eddie pls stfu poor Kelly

said this before but if eddie was gonna show up for heart rate challenge why didn't he do a little dance? is it because he sucks as a bombshell??? YEAH. It makes so much more sense to switch him and Zeph, like yeah that would mean we have less time with zeph and more with Eddie, but Zeph could put on a good heart rate challenge performance and Eddie could be way more catty and start shit during movie night than Zeph who wanted to play nice.

I'm so sad to say goodbye to Finn because it felt like he didn't get a good chance (unless MC is pursuing him I guess). but compared to Hamish, who, even if he got dumped here, would've had a lifelong friendship with MC and Natasha and had multiple chances to couple with people, it feels sad to see him go without a good ending. I mean I guess he's got closure with Kat and Kelly, but he felt always stuck in those couples whereas Hamish tried to explore connections with Natasha, Uma, and Melissa. I just think we should've let him punch Eddie in the face after eddie was so mean to Kat and MC.

I've decided to watch the hamish route vicariously through yall and I'll go for wither zeph or Stefan unless something else wild happens until the finale. so yall better tell me what happens it was such a hard decision when the game narrowed it down 🥺

I also think it would be great if we had chats with characters to decide who we're sticking with. like this season aside from maybe the beginning henri/chen/MC/Melissa thing, it feels like one of the other girls always asks you "who do you want to be chosen by" and then you tell her and that person picks you, but then you never address it or outright reject the other person face to face. it's always just like two sentences or just "a sad look" or a gem scene I'm not paying for.

one positive thing I've seen this last volume though is the mini date with your LI before Zeph's date. like its one of the better scenes they've written that isn't just someone outright saying I like you or just chatting. like its fun, and the only other moment I can think of that's similar that doesn't cost gems is the Hamish eavsdropping scene. now if only this was also tailored to your LI because as someone coupled with Stefan, low key unexpected, but imagine if I had picked Henri??

also a lot more choices this volume were worth 10 gems I think

that being said the amount they're asking for in the heart rate challenge is crazy for literally one scene because MC's outfit is like 14+ gems, then you van go for am extra 10 to see your male LI's outfit, and then another extra 10 for the female LI outfit. and this hardly changes the gameplay or gives you more info 🙃

[makingthepeace]

Raf is soo lucky he rated our wackass kiss an 11/10. I was about to drop him so quick lmao.

[summeroflove-if]

To the previous Ask picking someone early is something that is conditioned from LITG. Unless doing a hoe route picking your route person for that play through allows for more content, conversations and events that can be otherwise be missed. In season 2 of LITG my character was with Bobby the entire season and I know there were kisses and conversations that went in a particular order or sequence. The most recent seasons have been copy and paste dialogue but unfortunately to get it all you kind of have to pick one person and stick with them. Of course if I somehow woke up and was magically on the real Love Island I'd actually get to know more than one person because there wouldn't be these fictional story limitations.

That being said author, will there be conversations at specific points that can be missed if you couple up with multiple people or change often? In terms of getting to know that particular character?

As a person who always picked a character and stuck the whole way through, I completely get the idea which is why I'm trying not to comment on the way people prefer to play, but at the same time, the ROs have to be interested in other people, even if it's because you might switch and they (actually, I) need a backup plan. Also, drama.

And for your question, yes but that's not the only factor. If you've been sleeping alone while coupled up with and romancing Haoyu, you missed a conversation already and you won't get it again. Sure, you'll get the answer, but you won't get that one-on-one chat and miss how he feels about your choice in that conversation. Same for Mattie. But at the same time, you also get individual chats if you're romancing them and not coupled up - I don't plan on repeating any of it so you have to play differently to get that dialogue as I'm trying to make it so that there's no singular way to get all of the details out of all of the characters for replay value.
