HI lovelies. I don't think there is much to say these past two months. They've been long, hard, and so sad - both in fandom and in my own life. I've been finding some comfort in fic, and if you are finding that comfort there too, then I hope you enjoy these. My inbox is open if you are looking for anything specific. Be kind to yourself, and each other. 🤍
🍂 Down the Line || @sunflouwerhabit || 279.9k 🍂 Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Famous/Famous, Baseball AU, American AU, Angst with a Happy Ending, Healing, Hurt/Comfort "Louis still hates Harry. Totally. But he may tolerate him a bit today."
🍂 would it be enough if i could never give you peace? || hemakeshimstrongx || 129.9k 🍂 Famous/Famous, Singer Harry, Footballer Louis, Strangers to Lovers, Fluff, Taylor x Travis AU "Louis is sure he's flirting, and it's cute. It's definitely working, regardless of if it's intentional, that's for sure."
🍂 Sharp as Sugar, Sweet as Spice || @holdingontochaos || 60.2k 🍂 Age Difference, Strangers to Lovers, Single Parent Harry, Sneaking Around, Angst, Jealous Harry "'Rock climbing was a terrible lie. You never voluntarily exercise.' Well, she's got him there."
🍂 Cuddlebug || sun_flowr || 19.4k 🍂 Omegaverse, Alpha Louis, Omega Harry, Established Relationship, Kidfic, Adoption, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff "Harry laughs lightly. 'We are watching cartoons when the pup isn’t even awake. We’ve definitely fallen head first into this parenting thing.' 'We sure have,' he smiles, 'and I wouldn’t have it any other way.'"
🍂 A Morning in the Frathouse || @marchessa || 2.4k 🍂 Omegaverse, Established Relationship, Fratboy Harry "'Louis?' 'Hello!' 'Oh, it's just H's wifey,' someone shouted at the top of the stairs."
🍂 Do You See What I See || @allwaswell16 || 2k 🍂 Vet Louis, Plot Twists, Humor "Dr. Tomlinson coughed. 'Um, Harry?' 'Yes?' Niall burst into laughter. 'Do you see what I see?' Harry got the feeling he was missing something."

I didn't complete my 24 in 2024 list, but that's okay. I read a lot of short books and that's okay. I tried something new and wrote a small blurb in a draft after finishing it, instead of cobbling together feelings from what I remembered throughout the month, and I liked that a lot. I'll continue to do that, it made this a lot easier. Officially gave up on Ga'Hoole, and don't feel guilty about it. There are better books in the world and I will find them. That is a threat.
The Screaming Stair Case by Jonathan Stroud ⭐⭐½ - I want to watch the tv show, and I always feel weird doing that before reading the book. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't another Jackaby. I will not delete my blog over it, but it was. Not great. Fine. Fun at times. Would be more fun if the author didn't hate fat people so much. A pet peeve of mine is when the main character is a girl but the series is named after the main boy in her life. Icky. Not the worst, but I'm not sure I want to continue the series. The audio narrator was Delightful.
The Shattering by Kathryn Lasky ⭐⭐ - GaHoole book five. I know I said at the start of the year I'd read what I owned, but I'm no longer having fun so this will be the last for me. I'd rather be reading Animorphs. The owls can't save it for me, I'm sorry. Still counting it towards my yearly list though.
I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons ⭐- by Peter S Beagle This was trying to be a T Kingfisher novel but couldn't figure out the right balance between humor and devastation and how it fits into a small amount of words. It tried to be a Terry Pratchett novel but couldn't figure out what satire was. Disappointing considering I was hyped for it when it was announced. Dragons eventually showed up, but it was too late for them to save it.
A Psalm for the Wildbuilt by Becky Chambers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - reread for book club! Still adore it! This time around I was able to pinpoint WHY I adored it! It's because I too feel Aimless and Without A Purpose. So. Ouchie. It's also helping me figure out what I want out of a "cosy" novel (or novella). Internal personal conflict! I would still do anything for Mosscap.
A Prayer for the Crown Shy by Becky Chambers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - reread for book club! Once again, Becky Chambers has flayed me open and picked apart my soul! Reading Monk & Robot is like sitting down and being given a cup of tea while I cry my heart out.
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "Is this what it means to lose someone? The pain never goes away, it just gets buried?" I think this ending hit me hard for different reasons than most people are going wild for. It was Fine. Not mad I read it, but don't see myself ever wanting to reread it. I like the idea of the library as a living thing and a character itself, but there were a few plot points that just seemed to be brushed aside.
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I needed a safe tragedy I knew the end of and this did it. First time I actually shed tears over these words, but I needed it. It was fun to see and note the pieces that were laid out for later books, and I wonder, knowing some teasers we've gotten for Alecto, what TMuir means by Gideon wishing she could marry her sword.....
I don't have 2025 reading goals at this moment. Maybe that will change. It will probably change. I mean, there's the Usual, read the books I own, dangit, but that seems so. Boring. Typical. Everyone's doing that. Let me be ~Different~. I have a few fiber arts projects I'd like to do and finish, and I'd like to finish the sewing projects I started if only so I can pack all that up and put it away for a while. We're still hoping to move, so paring down my book collection is still an ongoing endeavor, and I do have a couple of art pieces I'd at the very least like to get sketched out. I want 2025 to be slow. I want 2025 to be quiet. I want 2025 to be kind. That's all I ask of it. Be kind.
#bookbird babbles#reading wrap up#monthly wrap up#december wrap up#books#booklr#this was. hard.#i feel like im missing tags here#guess not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#anyway im also working on my usual best and worst list#lots of contenders for both#also not book related but i also want clothing to stop being so expensive LMAO#well everything but specifically right now im trying to replace undergarments that have holes in them#THIRTY NINE DOLLARS FOR ONE SPORTS BRA?????? EXCUSE ME????????? if i could wear my binder every day i would#anyway place crying cat thumbs up gif here#thats me currently#everything is so hard right now but im TRYING

28th appreciation fic recs: February edition
Hi! Welcome to the February fic rec list! I wanted to put together all the fics I've read and loved over this month for the 28th appreciation, so here they are! Click on the links for full tags and summaries. If you read any of these make sure to show the authors some love by leaving kudos and comments, and sharing any fic posts!
☁️To you I can admit, I'm just too soft for all of it by @starryhaze28
(28k / not rated / non traditional a/b/o)
“Harry?” Louis asks when he hears the frantic crying coming through the speaker. “H, darling what's wrong?” Concerned, Louis puts on his shoes as he keeps hearing the sobs. It’s the middle of the night and the phone call has definitely pulled Louis out of his deep slumber, but Harry is crying, and Louis has to be with him. “It’ll be okay, baby, I'm gonna come over, okay? You just- Haz you have to send me your address, yeah? Can you do that for me?” Louis asks, trying to remain as poised as possible as he presses his phone between his ear and shoulder so he can grab his jacket. “No.” Harry cries out. “It's all wrong, Lou- It’s-” Another sob. “I hate it, Lou, I hate it so, so much, make it stop.” the nesting shop au
Thoughts: the softest dearest thing you'll read, characters I would die for, a true comfort read
☁️While you're figuring it out by @silverstuff50
(4k / E / wholesome bdsm)
Harry is in a rut and his mood is getting lower and lower. Louis helps him with love and kink.
Thoughts: if you love kink, and if you love the softness and emotions that come with established relationships, then this is for you, its the perfect combination!
☁️On that note by @allwaswell16
(6k / E / pen pals, getting together)
Louis’ office job on an omega only floor would be absolutely fine, if not for the alphas he and his friends have to deal with in the building. But although they’ve never met face to face, the friendly notes sent between him and Harry in Purchasing help him get through the day.
Thoughts: this was so cute, and Louis' character esp is so endearing, and the way they get together is so precious !
☁️(drippin' on me) till my feet are wet by @justanothershadeofblue
(3k / E / watersports)
They’ve known each other so long, is the thing. More than a decade, at this point; their entire adult lives. They know each other with a deep and abiding familiarity, know each other's ins and outs, hopes and fears, secrets and kinks. There’s nothing hidden between them, and little that escapes each other’s notice. All of which is to say, Louis knows exactly what Harry’s up to, making this huge pitcher of lemonade and waiting until the lads were out the door to bring it outside and press a cold glass into Louis’ hand. He’d poured the liquid carefully, sunglasses concealing his gaze as he filled it to the top. “Drink up,” Harry had said, and Louis had, tipping the contents down his throat in one long pull, letting a few drops slip free and run down, chilled and sweet, into his short beard. He’d caught Harry’s eye and held out his glass for more. “Good,” Harry had said, voice deep, and filled it again.
Thoughts: so. fucking. hot. And bonus: the tenderness that comes with established relationship. Best of both worlds really, so it's perfection.
☁️We don't fight fair by @hellolovers13
(2k / E / chase, non traditional a/b/o)
“What, you think I'll just roll over for you now?” The smirk on Louis’ face was almost devilish. “Yes,” He breathed against Harry’s lips, cocky and sure, like it was a fact of life. It sent all kinds of shivers through Harry. God, but he wanted to. Wanted Louis to have him right against this wall, let everyone see how he fell apart under him. But not tonight. Harry fixed his posture, standing up straighter and trying to get himself under control. “I don't think so, omega.” Or: Nothing like a little chase to start off Louis' heat.
Thoughts: *muffled screaming*. Genuinely was so hot I was speechless for a good while. If that's not convincing: there's a chase. And it's O/O. I'm begging y'all to go read this.
☁️Man spreading by @red-pandaaa
(2k / E / pwp)
“Manspreading is such a bad habit,” Harry said, mainly because he felt like he was obligated to. “Is that so?” Louis said, in a tone that challenged Harry to disagree. Harry nodded as firmly as he could. “I think you should try to tone down the manspreading a bit.” “Maybe I should spread out my man instead,” Louis mused. OR Harry complains about Louis manspreading, Louis makes a joke, and rimming ensues
Thoughts: short and sexy, i loved it sm, this ones for the uh...rimming enthusiasts!
☁️Trippin', Stumblin' by @itsnotreal
(4k / M / friends to lovers fluff)
Harry was falling for Louis. No, really. He was literally falling for Louis— well, okay, maybe it was because of him. Technicalities. Or the one where Harry is super clumsy but still manages to catch Louis’ attention.
Thoughts: nervous awkward harry is so precious to me, this was so fucking cute and PRECIOUS
☁️You can try to hide by @itsnotreal
(6k / E / cnc, hunter prey kink)
Harry has managed to keep his innermost thoughts at bay when he’s around Louis, but what happens when he shows up unannounced one night when Harry’s at his most vulnerable.
Thoughts: read tags! cnc done WELL, so gripping so thrilling, so hot. The mind reading is SUCH a nice touch ahhhh
☁️Shut your mouth, baby by @larry-hiatus
(3k / E / new years smut)
While fooling around in a closet at a New Year’s Eve party, Louis can’t seem to keep quiet. All he needs to do is hold off until midnight, when Harry will finally uncover his mouth and let him come at full volume.
Thoughts: Em never misses with the smut so this is another banger, bonus: desperate overwhelmed Louis. So. 10/10 in my mind.
And that's it! Yet another short list bc I've been so tired and falling asleep before I could read sigh. Also yes literally almost all are smut but in my defence it's because I didn't get time to read long fics and short ones are usually smut. But then again we love and support smut in this house so you're welcome. Send some love to the authors if you check out any of these!!

BridgeportBritt's Reading List - March
Okay as I mentioned yesterday, I've had this idea of posting what stories I'm reading. One to help keep me accountable because I really want to catch up on all my stories eventually (Currently caught up on 17/45 omg lol) and also to shine a light on other amazing storytellers. We'll see how this goes!
Recently Caught Up (In the last few weeks)
@the-lancasters (just finished this one!)
@warwickroyals (took me a minute to catch up but it's green!)
@nexility-sims (beautiful story!)
@cinamun (stay stressing me out but I'm caught up again!)
@trentonsimblr (thanks also to @ardeney-sims for making the collab easy to catch up on!)
@ladybugsimblr (caught up finally after I went back to posts I missed!)
@storiesbyjes2g (one of the few stories I try to keep up with daily but eventually end up spamming lol)
@trumpets0ng (a pace I can keep up with! lol)
@armoricaroyalty (just had a few posts to read up on)
@covingtons (just a few posts here as well!)
In Progress This Week
@rebouks - 13/54 pages of Somnium (So Good! Can't wait to catch up because I have so many comments to spam lol)
@xldkx 31/55 pages of Papercuts (These characters are keeping me hooked lol)
@digital-deluxe - Started Erudition and Public Enemies this week finally! I've been wanting to read this one for a while and I'm caught up on @atreanroyals!
What's Next
In Progress - @ellemant, @theroyalthornoliachronicles, @simgerale (So behind on all of these but I know I'm somewhere in the middle lol)
Not started - @shesthespinstersimmer, @aristocraticvision, @theroyalthrones, @renaldiroyals, @mysimsloveaffair, @sirianasims, @lynzishell, @madebysimblr (Excited to start all of these soon!)
This is not the full list of stories I'm reading, but the ones I've recently read or have up on my list next. For reference, I keep a spreadsheet and its color-coded green for caught up, yellow for in progress, and red for not started yet. Let's see how much progress you girl can make in a week, shall we?
#my reading list#blog stuff#maybe will do this monthly or biweekly or weekly#we'll see#probably not much change week over week lol#yes i'm a read from the beginning girly#that's why i'm sturggling and need this lol#but this is the year for your girl#also helped me realize a lot of stories are gone#so my list is a little shorter#yay!#but I also add more like every week lol#no more until I get some more of these in green!!!

watcha reading?
here we go! I went a long stretch where I wasn't reading much fic at all but I've been catching up lately (the past week fjdkslj) (I've been tagged in this a couple times I think but I can't recall by who I've just had this draft in progress for a while I'm SORRY :/ )
Anyway, It's About Old Friends by @fragilecapric0rnn - endlessly complex and such a feast of character dynamics and the way they shift and change and grow over time, I cannot recommend this one enough, it's the post-UD When Harry Met Sally AU that you NEED in your life
god has never loved a woman the way I do by @judasofsuburbia - the second part in a wild west au series that is so full and real and unbelievably tender that I simply don't know what to do with myself about it. For both parts (Steddie pt. 1 and Ronance pt. 2) there is so much beautiful rumination on the nature of choice for these people and the simultaneous risk and worthiness of choosing each other like. help me???
and they were roommates by @yournowheregirl - I've only read the first part in this series but I can't wait to dive further into it. Ronance finding that no matter how nervous they were to actually go after each other there is actually so much natural simplicity to touching and feeling and kissing and!!!! joyful PWP for the girls it's what they deserve
never made it to graceland by @cheatghost - beautifully, gorgeously, perpetually ominous first chapter with such perfect Eddie-isms and Munson Family Moments and prose, just the first chapter alone has me feeling deeply fulfilled while still so ready for more. I am a lover of "the world ended but we're still here" and this is already giving me that in DROVES please join me in scratching at the walls about it
I Look to You to See the Truth by @sharpbutsoft the Erica Sinclair coming of age in her freshman year of college-slash- lesbian self discovery story of my DREAMS featuring your favorite idiot4idiot steddie and dearest robin and overall what a delight from start to finish
P.S. if you read and enjoy any of these, spread the love by letting the authors know! the community of fandom thrives when we talk to each other 💜
open tag for anyone who wants to join in on this! say I tagged you and share your newest faves with us, I wanna see 'em!
#this was far from everything on my catch up list but I'm making progress!#(if i started with some of the stuff by my pals on said list don't @ me it's not my fault they're talented)#plus I wanted to post this on the 31st bc I think I wanna make it a monthly rec thing#i have so many things i want to read and share and this feels like a good way to do that now that I'm getting back into the swing of it!#dot post#fic recs#dot recs#steddie#ronance

Potential September Reading
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (ideally in audio)
An English Squire by Christabel R. Coleridge
A Sherlock Holmes story (and/or a screen adaptation)
C.S. Lewis nonfiction
A sensation or mystery novel
A piece of one of the Psmith stories
Some kind of nonfiction book
#monthly reading lists#books#a nicely restrained list#mostly made up of my strong september associations#of course it's psmith pseptember so i must read at least a chapter or two#(i know too well that i don't have the discipline to expect more but i would like a taste)#sherlock holmes audiobooks made great commute reading during several septembers and now it's a vital part of the season#(i'll prob only read one or two short stories rather than try for a whole volume)#i've vaguely been feeling i'm due for a hobbit reread for a few months#but now it hit me strongly that i must read it in audio#(if i can't find a good audio version i'll have to skip that item)#i read 'surprised by joy' one september while my sister was in ireland and i was missing it#and now it feels right especially because there's an oxford academia vibe that's great for back-to-school#i want to read some kind of female-written mystery#but yet to decide if i want victorian sensation novel or agatha christie#or if i'll just try a vaguely gothic christian novel#an english squire gets on the list thanks to thatscarletflycatcher and it just feels right to have that be my next obscure classic#i wanted something for back-to-school but i didn't know if i wanted a non-psmith school story or what#so i just went with nonfiction because it's about me learning new things#also several things that didn't make the list but may be read#i was very close to putting the tenant of wildfell hall on the list#but i don't want the pressure#if i do read it it needs to be something i'm not required to do#i will probably try to finish chesterton's 'varied types'#and prob read more emma m lion#and maybe pride and prejudice on audio?

February 2024 starsignchaser Fic Recs!
Welcome back to everyones favorite time of the month; Where I tell you all the favorite things I read on AO3 in the last few weeks! I will admit, I took a step back into reading in other fandoms and also I spent half the month traveling so I didn't have a ton of time to read, unfortunately. Sorry! March will be better (maybe...) Anyway, let's get into it!
Jegulus
Baby, now my head is on backwards by messymoony (6k, rated E)
James has had a bad day at work. Regulus makes him feel better. t4t jegulus you have my heart!!
Meet on Telegraph Avenue by ani_wahstan (34.6k, rater E, features wolfstar!)
James Potter was doing his best not to defile his roommate's younger brother because Sirius told him to “keep his slutty hands off of Regulus or else," but finds himself unable to keep the promise.
my favorite jegulus fic of the month, you can just tell this is a labor of love from the author. I also really really loved the inclusion of so many different songs from the time period of the fic!
second chances by introvertedhufflepuff (34k, 10/10, rated M)
when Regulus is hit with a rogue spell that sends him back to a 6-year-old, Sirius is forced to face their adversities and grow past their animosity.
not only Jegulus but some v good Black Brothers Angst. this fic fits v well in my headcannon of who reg was as a child and I love getting to see Sirius of the "present" interact with little reg of the "past"
Perfect Little Life by CRAmber (6.5k, 5/5, rated E)
Just a collection of snapshots from the life of Jegulus raising Harry and being hot and in love.
I suffer from a terminal case of jeggy dads brainrot </3
Drarry
The Vault by erlasart (comic, 2/2, rated M)
Harry is out for an evening walk when he sees Draco Malfoy disappearing into a seemingly abandoned building. Harry, of course, has to investigate.
I have been absolutely loving comic fics recently, I love seeing the art and the story work together and this one is really good!!!
No Place Like Home by dracogotgame (4k, rated G)
James Sirius has been at Hogwarts for exactly one day, and he knows he doesn't belong. All he wants is to go home. A late night Floo call fixes everything.
drarry dads <333
papa says harry potter helps people by jilliancares (10k, rated E)
Draco Malfoy is reintroduced into Harry's life when a little boy enters his shop, lost. The same little boy upends all his bookshelves, which Draco holds himself responsible for. It all kind of escalates from there.
Scorpius bringing these two dummys together <3
together we wait for silence by ashes_and_ashes (23.6k, rated T)
the combined swimming/road trip au that no one ever asked for and yet is now here
My fave drarry of the month!!! I LOVE fics like this with a somewhat nonlinear timeline and so much unspoken angst and UGH I just really really really loved this fic.
#like i said i wasn't able to read a ton this month#I also was reading a really long Jegulus fic at the same time but I only finished that today so it will be featured on next months list#please let me know if you read any of these i love talking about these guys and the silly little lives people give them in fics!!!#also i know i need to read more wolfstar#they are so dear to me but I just haven't been on that grind as of late#anywho thanks for reading all of this lol#emilys monthly fic recs#jegulus fic#jegulus#james potter#regulus black#drarry#drarry fic#draco malfoy#harry potter#fic: baby now my head is on backwards#fic: meet me on telegraph avenue#fic: second chances#fic: perfect little life#fic: the vault#fic: no place like home#fic: papa says harry potter helps people#fic: together we wait for silence#messymoony#ani_wahstan#introvertedhufflepuff#CRAmber#erlasart#dracogotgame#jilliancares

You were quite aware of the disappointment when you stopped publishing, electing to paint for yourself and yourself only in private, banning yourself from drawing that which is deemed unacceptable. For a while, you were sure you were done, until a Noxian warlord, wearing the proud yet horrifying name of "Medarda" distupted your time—near demanding for your artistic talents to be used for her pleasure. Warning: Kidnapping & Intimidation Specials Tags: Mulit Part Ambessa Medarda
Little brat @insomniadreamzz (X) Summary: None Warnings: None Specials Tags: None Jinx
Not So Picture Perfect @getthehexstrap Summary: reader’s parents are meeting Jinx for the first time for Christmas dinner. They ultimately disapprove of Jinx, Warnings: None Specials Tags: None Jinx
