#love the gavin content so much though 😭

[loucifersbitch]

is this anything

[azurejacques]

Just finished Brothersong last night. TJ Klune, the man that you are. Gotta be my favorite series of all time I fear! And like god the way I totally didn’t expect that coming in, it’s like hey here’s a silly little book about gay werewolves ! oops, did you think it wasn’t gonna get serious and rip your heart into tiny little shreds? Like my god. I have so much to say. The end was so beautifully done, though. Of course Ox’s ass would try to sacrifice himself one last time, because no matter how many times a character calls another one out for falling into that trope, they STILL DO IT. And god. Thomas’ letter to Ox,,,, hoping one day he’ll call him father,,,, I’m gonna be sick, I’m gonna weep, man.

I could write so much about how big of a theme and throughline fathers (and especially the sins of the father) are in the series, and specifically how important Thomas’ death is to the plot and the characters. Ok I’ll make that a different post !

I’m still not ready to look at all the fanart I’m gonna go feral, #sorrynotsorry but also finally maybe I’ll be able to visualize all the characters better in my head lol, that’s just smth I’ve never been good at without having like a consistent visual reference.

OHHH also my god Gavin changing his name to Gavin Walsh Bennett- AND CALLING ELIZABETH MOM 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I need to be sedated!

And the bonus content from like at least like 10-13 years later when they’ve adopted children and oh my god that was so cute, Ox & Joe’s kid Callie calling Ox out on his constant bringing up of the “my daddy always said…” like pleaseeee I love seeing them get to live in peace and have happiness, and for Elizabeth to live to see peace after so so long and so so much.

I was thinking to myself last night, I think the reason I love this series so much is because it feels like a big warm queer hug- there’s so much queer joy, radical acceptance and love (e.g. the people of Green Greek accepting the Bennetts wholly and entirely as wolves and queers alike lmao) and everyone (for the most part) gets a happy ending- it’s just so full of love.

WEVE BEEN FED ONCE AGAIN‼️‼️‼️‼️YIPPPEEEEE🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I was in a painting class when this dropped,, longest hour of my life, my hands are still covered in blue paint as I write this

first paragraph got me thinking I should leave freelancer alone w Dr. Brachium 😳....and of course he's the cutiest sweetie pie,,,, my baby girl 🤭🤭

not kody bru cmon now. and OF COURSE he's freaky about it what are we doing guys. KEEP THAT WIERDO AWAY FROM THE BODIES I DONT TRUST HIM.

sunshine pixie cut? blue car? *VERY LOUD CORRECT BUZZER* (pls tell me it was a nissan)

ok.. I always write my comments as I'm reading ur story

my face dropped and my heart just fucking sank,,,, kody what the fuck

I feel nauseous- that line just gave me whiplash....the rainstrom..I'm on the floor

it's these little details that make your writing so immersive for me. LMAO U DIDNT EVEN PUT HIM IN THE TAGS 😭😭 get clapped idiot hope they leave ur ass in a burning building

I was fortunately remedied by caelum content even thought its sad he's much better off w gavin and FL. BUT OKAYYYYY GAVIN 🤑🤑🤑🤑 4 DIGITS????

FL taking charge on checking tank, yeah girl this is what I'm talking about ++ THE ADVICE YEAH GIRL THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!! ugh.. guys can we all just pinky promise to be super nice to eachother and not be evil and we'll hold hands and get ice-cream and watch silly movies and-

AND DESPITE WHAT EVER THE FUCK IS HAPPENING FL is still talking about hot men,,,, same Freelancer,,, same 🫂🫂

the story just gets better and juicier with every upload, another great read keep it up bestie!!!!!

Happy to provide for you my friend!! I'm so honored that this fic has you so excited!!

Oh yes, Freelancer is a giant flirt and pretty much spends all of their time observing how attractive the people around them are. Person after my own heart, when they see somebody hot, they are ogling.

Yeeaaaahhhh Kody is a creep. He's supposed to give "no empathy for the dead people" and he finds the fact that Brachium has so much empathy a little bit funny?? He just thinks it's stupid to talk to the bodies. Brachium is used to that, though. Some of his colleagues believe that it's unprofessional, but Brachium finds it to be a central part of his process when it comes to dealing with his job. He can't separate himself emotionally from death, so he has to plunge himself into the acceptance of it head first.

Thank you, thank you, I love a manic pixie dream Sunshine for sure. For you, crab anon, their car is now canonically a Nissan.

I'm sorry for the surprise, but I felt that was how the line had the most impact. I actually forgot to put Kody in the tags at all lol I will amend that. Yeah I wanted to line to come on fast, since that is often how these things happen. That single moment changed a lot for Freelancer, and so it abruptly changes the tone of the chapter. I'm so glad you liked it.

And yay Caelum!! He's a cutey, even when he's traumatized and in shock lol. He's for sure better off with Gav and FL, and Gavin will spare no expense when it comes to Caelum. He makes his fair share of money and he won't let Caelum want for anything ever again. It does result in Caelum being spoiled, but that's neither here nor there.

Freelancer is Capable and once they past their insecurity, they show it. Their greatest strength as a medical professional is their empathy, same as Brachium. The fact that they put their whole heart into things. The person who can help Darlin' through this moment is only that person because they were victimized. They can use that for good now. Not that that's required, of course, just how Freelancer prefers to deal with it.

Freelancer WILL drool over a hot man every chance they get. And David Shaw is a very hot man.

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're enjoying this piece buddy. I look forward to your asks every time I post. More soon!!!

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: book edition ✨

alright this is already making me sad

okay rufus already has my entire heart?? like i love him??

not death by piano 😭

the way i’m getting attached to these characters even though i shouldn’t

well shit she knows about him beating up her boyfriend

it should’ve been peck.

don’t know if it’ll change but i’m not really interested in mateo right now. i think i’d be content with this book just being about rufus and his last hours

rufus being robbed of getting to say goodbye to his family is my villain origin story actually

“i promise to be the mario to your luigi.” rufus is baby i swear 🥺

“no matter how we choose to live, we both die at the end.”

nooo not malcolm and tagoe getting themselves arrested 😩

“he cries, these loud, stuttering sobs, not because he’ll now have a criminal record, not because he’s scared to go to the police station, not even because Rufus is dying, but because the biggest crime of all tonight was not being able to hug his best friend goodbye.”

“Death-Cast did not call Patrick ‘Peck’ Gavin.” they should’ve.

i think i know exactly how rufus dies and i am not happy about it

“okay, i’ve signed away my right to bitch if i die.” 😭😭

“His company has helped me and maybe mine will help him through any heartache too.” 🥺🥺🥺

“Twelve hours ago I received the phone call telling me I’m going to die today, and I’m more alive now than I was then.” I’M SO PROUD OF MATEO

“until I give in, crying harder than I have in weeks, and I hammer at the railing with the bottom of my fist. I keep going and going, hitting the railing because my family is dead, hitting it because my best friends are locked up, hitting it because my ex-girlfriend did us dirty, hitting it because I made a new dope friend and we don’t even have a full day together.” I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY RUFUS HAS TO DIE WHEN HE’S NEVER DONE ANYTHING BUT TRY TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE IN THE NAME OF HIS FAMILY

the only complaint i have besides them dying is that there’s too many characters

“Vin sneaks down to the generator room and pulls a homemade bomb out of his gym bag.”

THIS BOOK IS THE WORST

“Rufus is beside me, his beautiful brown eyes closed.” I HATE IT HERE

“a little over twelve hours ago, I got a phone call telling me I’m gonna die today, and I thought I made my peace with that, but I’ve never been more scared in my life of what’s gonna go down later.”

“If I weren’t such a coward, or a Decker, I would lean against Rufus, shifting my weight against him. I’d put my arms out and close my eyes, but it’s too risky, so I keep holding him, which works for me, too.” this is so cute?? 🥺🥺

MATEO JUMPED OFF THE BIKE 🥺 i’m so proud

““You don’t deserve to die, Mateo.”

“I don’t think anyone deserves to die.”

“Except serial killers, right?”

“He doesn’t answer because he probably thinks I won’t like his answer. If anything, it only further proves my point: Mateo doesn’t deserve to die.” I LOVE THEM SO??? MUCH??? their deaths are gonna hurt me so bad

i need rufus to understand that he doesn’t deserve to die either 😭

““Any other big changes today? Besides the obvious?”

“Yeah!”

“What?”

“I smile over at him as our swinging comes to a stop. “I gave up my bike.” I know what he’s really asking, but I don’t take the bait. He’s gotta make a move himself, I’m not robbing him of that moment, it’s too big.” wait what moment? i am confusion

“Coming back as a tree would be pretty chill, like I’m growing up in Althea Park again, not that I’ll say that out loud because yo, you can’t go around telling people you wanna be a tree and expect them to take you seriously.” i love one (1) dumbass kid

I GENUINELY HATE PECK SO MUCH

A MALE SEAHORSE PLEASE I LOVE THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION

“She throws her arms around me and squeezes, almost as if she herself has pulled me out of a sinking car, or caught me after I’ve fallen out of a crashing plane. She says everything in this hug—every thank-you, every I-love-you, every apology. I squeeze her back to thank her, to make her feel my love, to apologize, and everything else that falls deep inside and skirts outside these realms. It’s the sweetest moment in our friendship since she handed me Penny as a newborn.” I’M IN LITERAL TEARS

“No one planned for a swim, so we strip down to our underwear and yo, I had no idea how damn skinny Mateo is. He avoids looking my way—which I find funny.” i just know mateo is a baby gay. i know it.

“I grab Mateo’s hand and lock my fingers in his. He turns to me with flushed cheeks.” . . . i’m not even gonna say it

“I move toward Mateo, laughing, and I hug him for this freedom he’s forced onto me. It’s like I’ve been baptized or some shit, ditching more anger and sadness and blame and frustration beneath the surface, where they can sink to who-cares-where.” YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND I’M SO PROUD OF HIM

FUCK HE POSTED ON INSTA

THEY KISSED AND IT MAKES THIS SO MUCH MORE PAINFUL I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT HERE

I AM BOTH HAPPY AND DEVASTATED

i know i complained earlier about this book having too many characters but i actually love how they all connect to each other

mateo and rufus telling each other about all the things they wish they can do together is w r e c k i n g me

“this day is doing me dirty on goodbyes.” i hate it here. truly.

“Take me home, Mateo.” i am not okay.

“If we had our entire lives ahead of us I bet you’d get tired of me telling you how much I love you because I’m positive that’s the path we were heading on. But because we’re about to die, I want to say it as many times as I want—I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“Did finding each other kill us?” I CANT DO THIS I TRULY CANT I WANT OFF THIS RIDE

HATE THIS I HATE IT SO MUCH

me at this very moment. i hate this book so much. i also love it so much. it’s a whole thing. i highly recommend reading it if you get a chance. and also if you need the link to a free and safe version, message me <3
