a love note (and some fics)

Sometimes I wonder if there's really anything bigger out there - the universe, some kind of higher power, fate - and then I think about how extremely lucky I am that I became obsessed with a certain tv show and its characters at just the right time so that I could befriend someone who then introduced me to a particular book at exactly the right time to fall in love with those characters as well. And then, because of my need to have more of those characters, I went looking for more stories about them at exactly the right time to meet a group of people (some of them together, some of them later, but that doesn't matter) who would go on to become my friends.

There must be something, right? To bring together a group of people who live in five to seven different time zones depending on the time of year. To create my safest spaces on the internet. To share not just our love for a book and its characters, but parts of our lives with each other. To have them all wedge themselves into the soft spaces of my heart and never leave.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last two weeks, because those people conspired and collaborated to gift me a collection of 10 incredible fics for a milestone birthday (tomorrow!) - even though some of them haven't written fic for months and months, or don't write for this fandom at all anymore, or have recently been finding it hard to make words work and finish fics, or are just plain busy with other projects and life. That they took the time to find and make words for me means everything and more 💖💖

I've been absolutely overwhelmed with love these past 10 days (probably to the surprise of no one, I have cried at every single fic drop and I'm crying writing this now). So, I want to share the wonderful fics that they've written for me with you all because it's the least I can do to pay it forward and they're objectively stellar fics. If you haven't come across them already then you should definitely add them to your to read lists/open tabs/MFL. Please show my friends some love and read their work.

The Rae of Sunshine! collection, in order of publication (with my very short summaries):

Take It Back (4.2K) by @three-drink-amy

Henry is the head chef at a French restaurant and there's one patron who keeps sending his dishes back. How can they resolve this?

Dick, Dick Dick (You Down) (10.2K) by @everwitch-magiks

Alex runs the craft services trailer on the set of actor!Henry's latest movie. Is he the only person who sees behind the façade?

A deceptively soft story, given the title.

Precious Love (1.3K) by floatingaway4

The fluffiest follow up to one of my favourite AUs Amigos y Migas (aka the food truck au).

Midnight ice cream (5.8K) by @the-amber-fox

Emotional support Cornettos? More likely than you think.

Make it Right (5.3K) by @three-drink-amy (that's right, Ally wrote me TWO FICS)

A rogue little Tarlos fic in amongst the firstprince - a post-season 1 canon divergence that sees TK working in a taco truck while he finds his feet.

a taste of life (7.4K) by @indomitable-love

A journey through Henry's life, told through food. (This one is not my summary, indomitablelove already summed it up perfectly)

Risotto + Melanzane + Dolce (a love story) (16.8K) by @villiageidiot

Alex starts working at an Italian restaurant and is terrible at his job. Somehow, Henry doesn't seem to mind.

Cursed is a State of Mind (WIP) by @welcometololaland & @dustratcentral

A 5 + 1 treatise on cursed coffee consumption.

12 Year Starter (6.6K) by @clottedcreamfudge

When Pez can't make it to Henry's Michelin-star birthday dinner, he arranges for Henry's friend, Alex, to take his place. Featuring CCF's signature banter and fun, and a menu that I wish was real.

Pour Your He(art) Out (WIP) by @athousandrooms

A 5+1 ode to latte art (featuring actual art!)

You can find the entire collection here on Ao3.

when fallon is staying at the house she'll wake up early and sneak into rae's nursery and bring her back into her room for morning snuggles. dallas and flynn freak out a little when their baby isn't in its crib in the morning

Flynn is so annoyed

“Fallon! You can’t do that you scared us, Dallas was in tears!”

“But I love her?”

Dallas literally had a breakdown thinking she’d lost Rae

Hey Nancy.

U said u wanted the wolf pattern. The one I’m using is this one from Voodoo-tiki on DeviantArt.

I’m also planning on trying to make my own pattern so I can make something like this guy from Goiku on DeviantArt cause I wish I coulda bought one and he’s adorable.

ooooh it looks adorable!

I have some faux fur just sitting on my fabric shelf that would be perfect for this!

(when I can get to it lol)

Thank you thank you Rae!

[kewlgayroommate]

The way he is midway rant and then he's like 'wait is that my shirt?' forever supporting my wallace loves scott and 100% thinks he looks good in his clothes.

My thoughts so far about the sunshine court:

[rae-gar-targaryen]

Covid has got ya girl, and ya girl has got covid!! I'm currently accepting healing vibes, horny thoughts about our favs, and stories about anything silly, sweet, or good that has happened to you recently! Please and thanks 😘💜🌿☀️

Rules: Make a poll of your favourite female characters (no limits - as many or as little as you want) and see which your followers like the most!

tagged by @grapecaseschoices Thank you! I started thinking of my favorite female characters and then I couldn't stop. I tried not to put too many obscure women, but some of these ladies I just can't leave out (I did actually weed out most of the more niche ladies and put them in the tags)

tagging: @littlemissbumblebee, @alexeizzo, @agentark, @thisghosts-obsessions-again, @beatrizamante, @renru

please tell me your favorite girls in poll format

How do you mortals… I don’t know. Handle it? Knowing one day, you’re just going to be paperwork? Known only through long-lost connections? How can you stand living in a mortal body?

- @im-not-getting-paid-for-this

I just live each day to its fullest Carpe Diem, ya know? Don't really focus on that.... are you okay?

tommy @lakelost would simply be like yeah i fought jason and then not jason and then jason again and then freddy and then jason and freddy and then jason again. what are the cannibals going to do. i do think he would be easily endeared to leland bc he was easily endeared to jenny SDGJKSFDG but also every day he is looking out for a group of college kids in a horrifying situation like Please Survive,

Rae you do *the most* for this fandom! Life happens, you do you when you're able to 🧡 take care of yourself.

Wanted to make a short apology post for my slow Library updates lately. My work has picked up again which means less reading time than I prefer 😑 That also means I end up liking a whole bunch of fics to bookmark for later which I know for a lot of writers, including myself, can be irritating to see. 

I promise though y’all I’m gonna reblog everything! And I’m gonna keep adding new writers too cuz the talent in this fandom is unbelievable and keeps growing 💗 I just…unfortunately…can’t do all that as fast as I’d like to right now. Please forgive the slowness and the abundant liking of posts in the meantime!

For this poll, unhinged does not necessarily mean bad. So things that might be unhinged that happened in a show, but were manipulative, toxic, abusive, etc. did not get included.
