Ride 762: The Inter High's starting line

Pag 1

2: I'll run

4: Miyazakii!!

Good luck, Kyushu teams!!

Let's do it, Kyushu!!

Hirayama-kun, you can do it!

5: Senpai, I'll replace your empty bottle

Thanks

6: Now

7: It's starting!

Soon?

Yes!!

8: Uh... ah....

Pag 2

1: In this Inter High!!

With my own legs!!

2: How many times have I pictured this?

Ah.....

3: How many times have I imagined this?

Uh.....

Pag 3

1: Myself standing inside the course!!

2: I can't breath properly and my heart is pounding

3: Earlier, I wanted to drink but my hands were shaking and I couldn't open the bottle

4: I was about to give up

5: If.....

Pfuii.....

6: If it's a dream

If this is a dream

Pag 4

1: Please don't wake up

I've worked too hard for this!!

Pag 5

1: Five minutes until the start of the boys' Inter High's first day!!

Pag 6

1: In the front, last year's champion, Sohoku High School, is lined up!!

Sohokuu...!!

Sohoku!!

Red-head!!

Ah, there's the orange-haired guy again!!

2: Ah.....

3: Ah..... in the front......

4: Don't look around so restlessly

Ye-yessir, teh

5: O-no-da-kuun

He's so cuteee!! Look this way!!

6: Ah- those are Back-gate.... Onoda-san's!?

They're his die-hard fans

Waa, as expected!! As expected!!

Pag 7

1: But he's so nervous that he turned to completely “ignoring” them

Ohhh...!!

2: Huh!? I don't know why, but seeing Onoda-san so nervous, is naturally.... making me relax, teh

Ah!! That was his goal!?

3: No, that's just his pre-race ritual

Don't worry about it

Teh!?

4: Also lined up in the front are the members of the local team of Fukuoka, the Fukuoka Josei High School

Pag 8

1: Behind them, are Kyushu's veterans, Kumamoto Daichi from Kumamoto

Kumamotoo!!

The super express of Higo country!!

2: Fukuokaa, Kumamotoo, take the stage!!

I'm looking forward to it.!!

3: We're looking forward to your race

Do you want to say a word?

Yes, uhm.... Higo

4: will work hard!!

We'll work hard!!

Pfuii

Pag 9

1: Wh... what are the conditions!?

2: Earlier you said “there are difficult conditions to meet in order to run”...!?

Yeah

3: It's simple.... but hard

4: Sugimoto, the fact that you're running in the Inter High

5: means that Sohoku now has seven members

6: Despite the rule that says that each team can only have up to six people, there is one that has seven

7: It's the same situation that would happen if, for example, you took a reserve from another team

During the race, they could do things like blocking the wind, or attack; the higher your number, the more at an advantage you are

They could even help preserve the ace

8: So, in order to maintain equality

Pag 10

1: during the race you cannot get close to “Sohoku”!!

2: It's better... if you avoid conversations with them too

You have to run like you're a member of the “selected team”

These are the conditions

3: It means that you have to break away from “Sohoku”!!

5: This is all I can help you with

Pag 11

3: Don't worry about Sohoku

They have Miki, and Sadatoki and Kinaka are reliable too

5: Are you Sohoku's Sugimoto-kun!?

Ah, ye-yes

Quick, wear this, and the number bib....

6: Thank you, Touji-san!!

7: Can you follow it? That rule

Pag 12

1: Yes!!

2: I'm a man who follow the rules, after all!!

Pag 13

2: From now on I'm not a Sohoku member... but I'll run as a member of the selected team!!

3: There wasn't much time but I remember

4: Iwatani-kun from Nishihori Hisch School in the Saga prefecture

Ah- yes

5: You.... you remember my name!?

As expected, Sohoku is amazing!!

I'm counting on you

Yessir!!

Pag 14

1: First year, Uchikawa-kun, from Matsushima Business school in the Miyagi Prefecture

Ah-woah

2: I've always done track and field, so I don't know much about road racing, but thank you!!

Yeah, do your best

3: Second year Kobayashi-kun from the same Matsushima business school

Yes!

4: Babagome-kun from Toyotsukita High School in the Aichi prefecture

I'm a second year!!

And the first year Shingi-kun from Izumobata High school in the Shimane prefecture

5: Hyoo, thank you so much!!

6: As expected from Sohoku, huh

That's why they're the two-times in a row champions!!

Pag 15

1: I'm a third year from Chiba, Sugimoto

2: I'll cheer for you from behind the scenes

3: Run without regrets

4: Yes!!

5: Sugimoto-san!!

We're counting on you, Sugimoto-san

Touji-san.....

6: And everyone.....

Pag 16

1: Thank you

2: Without realizing it, my shaking has calmed down

3: I'm prepared!!

4: Hydrate yourself frequently, and eat supplementary foods at fixed time

Once every forty minutes, remember it

Yessir

Yessir!

Ohh, such a precise advice

5: I'm glad, it's so reassuring! Who would have thought that there would be a member of Sohoku

When I heard that our coordinator, the third year Yamashita-san, was absent due to illness, I wondered “what do we do now”

I'm so glad!

Pag 17

1: Let's run!!

2: No matter how hard the road may be!! Without giving up!!

3: We'll fight, with all our strengths

But I'll tell you one thing first

4: Even if we give our everything, the probability that we'll lose is high!!

Huh

Huh

Prepare yourself

5: Because I know

6: The opponents we have to fight that are lined up before us....

Pag 18

Pag 19

JULY

Like A Circus Wheel | saltommy | E | 1432 wds.

"He's insinuating that you're gay." Tommy looks over at Sal’s smart-ass smirk and for a second he’s frozen. Sal’s expression doesn’t change but something in his eyes feels like a challenge.

Show You Off | Bucktommy | E | 2083 wds

“Maybe we should move this to the bedroom?” he murmurs. “Otherwise we’re gonna be giving the neighbours a show.” Buck’s mouth is suddenly bone-dry. Memories of a mis-spent exhibitionist youth suddenly flood back and his breath shallows, mouth falling open a little, cock twitching as he swallows hard. Tommy pulls back and looks him in the eye, eyebrow raised. “Oh. You like that idea baby?”

Keys to Fit Our Locks | saltommy | T | 1133 wds.

Tommy comes home to something surprising. Just some soft, silly, sort-of-established Saltommy.

AUG

Every Little Sacrifice | saltommy | E | 3335 wds

Tommy jumps down from the engine the moment it stops, already heading to the gear racks as the rest of the team clamber out behind him, the stench of melted plastic and hot metal surrounding them. He needs to get away from the smell, it’s choking him, filling his throat. He coughs, trying to clear out the memory. Sal flashes him his most charming grin, blue eyes bright in his soot-streaked face, and claps him on the shoulder as he passes. Tommy doesn’t stop and doesn’t meet his confused gaze, his jaw muscles tick as he bites back the fury thrumming through his veins. He strips off his turnouts in record time and heads up the stairs without a backward glance.

Honey I'm Home | bucktommy | T | 762 wds

“Hey honey I’m home,” Buck murmurs to himself, half-falling through the door into the dark entrance hall of Tommy’s house. The whole day has been a seemingly endless stream of small, silly calls, each bell draining more and more of his energy, leaving him a shell of the man he was when he left that morning. It had been a great morning too. Two orgasms before he’d even had his coffee had seemed like a pretty promising start to the day and then he’d spent most of his shift on a constant simmer, half hard in his turnouts because his boyfriend, who was having the opposite sort of day at work, decided it would be a good idea to send him shirtless selfies taken in the Harbor locker room that would have been rejected from the firefighter calendar for being too pornographic.

Calendar Boy | bucktommy | E | 2505 wds

“What’s up baby?” Tommy asks, concerned, walking over to kiss the side of his head. “It’s the most insufferable time of the year,” Hen mutters, not looking up. Tommy looks down at the photos covering the table and stops short, blinking in surprise. Oh. “It’s the LAFD calendar,” Evan says, as if that explains everything, which, in a way Tommy supposes it does. Tommy’s eyes widen as he takes in the piles of pictures of semi-- and, in some cases, more than semi-- naked Evan that are spread across it. He swallows awkwardly, his tongue all of a sudden seeming too big for his mouth, and manages an only-slightly-strangled, “Oh?”

Solace | bucktommy | T | 615 wds

Buck comes home to Tommy after a very bad day.

SEPT

Nicknames | saltommy | M | 529 wds

A few nicknames, endearments and insults from Sal and Tommy’s relationship.

Desk Defying | saltommy | E | 2478 wds

Sal and Tommy decide to take out their frustrations on top of Gerrard's desk.

Riding Up Front | bucktommy | E | 5511 wds

Buck is outside in the yard, blasting the engine with the high pressure hose and entertaining murderous fantasies of turning the hose on Gerrard and blowing him through a fucking wall. The bastard is on the warpath today as usual, finding a seemingly endless list of pointless tasks for each of them. When Tommy arrives unexpectedly it dawns on Buck that the engine is conveniently just out of sight, pulled around the side of the firehouse and the rest of the crew are occupied and a terrible, brilliant and honestly somewhat familiar plan forms in his mind.

When you're tastin what he's drinkin (are you thinkin bout me?)

bucktommy w/ past saltommy | M | 1893 wds

Sal runs into Tommy with Buck at a bar and drags up old memories.

OCT

If It Comes Back | saltommy | E | 3773 wds

Tommy & Sal reconnect at a wedding.

NOV

A Quiet Night In | bucktommy | T | 1190 wds

Just some fluff & cuddles - post 8x6 comfort

DEC

Flashover | bucktommy | G | 2724 wds

When his phone rang this evening he was on the floor in front of his couch, in the middle of another fifty push-ups, TV on in the background playing a show that he couldn't have named or described if someone put a gun to his head. He didn't pick it up, didn't even glance at it, just let it vibrate its way across the table and fall on the floor. The third time it rang he finally picked it up, annoyed, and glanced at the caller ID. Sal Deluca. Jesus Christ, talk about a blast from the past. He'd answered it without even thinking. "Sal?" "Kinard. Open your door. It's pissing rain out here."

You Should Probably Leave | saltommy | E | 2347 wds

“Doesn’t look like it’s coming back on anytime soon.” Tommy says, looking out of the window at the dark street. “It’s the whole block at least.” He turns back to Sal who is spread out on his couch, beer bottle in one hand, one foot on the floor. “Ah shit, guess I’ll just have to stay here then huh?” Sal smirks, eyebrow raised as he stretches his arms above his head so his t-shirt rides up, exposing the trail of dark hair that disappears under his waistband. Behind him on the table a candle lantern flickers, deepening the shadows and planes of his features, casting crawling shapes over the walls. Tommy's throat is dry, he swallows hard. He already knows how the rest of this night goes. How it always goes.

Taken | saltommy | M | 884 wds

Jack shakes his hand, holding it just a fraction too long, smiling up at him almost shyly. "Hi Tommy. Sooo, I know this is kind of a cliche but…um…would you maybe like to get a drink sometime? With-with me?" "Kinard! Get your ass back on the truck!" Sal's voice snaps out. Tommy tries not to laugh for Jack's sake. "Jack, you seem great but I—" Jack sighs. "Figures. You're clearly way too hot to be available. Ah well I had to try, right?" "Kinard!"

10 Weddings and No Funerals | saltommy | T (will go up) | WIP

In order to survive a summer of wedding fever, longtime friends, Tommy and Sal, agree to be each other's plus one at every wedding they've been invited to. AU based on Plus One (2019).

Kisses | saltommy | G | series WIP

Some replies to the kisses prompt meme on Tumblr. Currently all saltommy - may add some bucktommy later. Rating may change.

✧⁠*⁠。Lost In The Moment Pt. 2

Love and Deepspace FanFic (Rafayel)

Intro: Rafayel has been missing you for the past few days. He is desperate for your touch, but you teased him too much and now he's fed up.

Word Count: 762

Content: squirting, rafayel switch, teasing, some consent check, grinding, make out, safe-word, and release denial??(Idk what it's called)

NSFW‼️‼️

Pt. 1

“It's not enough…more..please…” Rafayel looks at you with eyes more yearning than he has ever shown before. “Good, I have so much more for you to drink up.” my lips plunge toward his, hungry for more of his taste. Our soft plump pillowy lips dance in a spicy tango. His saliva mixed with mine. My hands travel down his waist, gripping onto his hips. Mine naturally grinds against his, not being able to control how bad I need to release the warm heat arising in me. He lets out soft breathes and groans as I grind against him, he's gotten so heated that I can feel his cock warm and hard against my pubic bone. His black dress pants are getting wetter and sticker from the leaking pre-cum. His hips buck up begging for more of that sweet friction in hopes for some kind of release. But it's met with me pulling away, teasing him, wanting to see that yearning look on his face. Desperate for me to pleasure him. Like a tethered rope Rafayel snaps he pushes me on my back, my legs beside his hips. “Please stop teasing me…” Rafayel's voice is raspy and needy. I giggle at how cute he is right now. “I don't wanna stop~” I whispered in his ear, my seductive voice going straight to his core. “God, you…” He lets out a breathy chuckle and kisses down from my cheek all the way to the center of my chest. “Maybe, I should be the one to lock you in a cage, tie you up, and never let you out.” Rafayel's voice is deep and pent up. Not even giving me a chance to respond he puts his hands in my panties and starts rubbing on that swollen clit. “Rafayel…!~” I gasp my back lifting up off the couch from the sudden pleasure. Rafayel rubs my puffy clit in circles, rough and slow. Over and over again making you squirm and want to beg for more. My stomach feels like it's turning, from being irritated at how much he's teasing my pussy. “Rafayel! Please…!” My voice is needy, ready for him to give me what I want. He moves his hand away for a moment. “Now you know how it feels, huh? To beg and plead for touch. It's so irritating that it makes your stomach turn.” He traces around your labia minora. He hums in satisfaction at seeing me tremble, begging for more of him. Not wanting to make me wait for too long he stuffs two of his digits into my cunt. Roughly pounding against my sweet little g-spot pushing out the sounds of ecstasy. “Fuck!!~” I grip onto the couch cushions feeling my release come near. “Rafayel! I'm gonna..!” He stops and pulls off my pants. “Stop, I want you to come from my mouth…is that…ok?” His voice goes soft again. He's always been the kind to make sure that it's ok before going the extra mile. “Yes…anything..please just make me come.” He smiles and quickly spreads my legs. He kisses and bites up my inner thigh licking at the lips of your pussy. Making a groan come out of my mouth. He looks up at you before licking your pussy, sucking on your clit and labia minora. His tongue comes out as he sucks and sticks it in my wet hole. A moan is dragged out of me like his tongue. My hand goes out and grips his hair pulling more into my pussy. My hips bucking up against him begging for release. “Shit! I'm gonna~” He mumbles something against my pussy. The vibration sends a shiver down my spine and is just enough to bring me over the edge. “!!” I scream as my legs shake and my head goes back in ecstasy. He keeps going wanting me to ride out my orgasm. My grip on his hair loosens, as my body goes weak. He grins slyly and whispers in my ear. “Say the safe word if you need to…” That shocks me back to reality but before I could actually say anything he goes back down on my pussy sucking on my clit like it's the most delicious thing he's ever tasted. “W..w..what??! AaH!~ Rafayel!” His tongue laps over My clit over and over again. It's so much to the point my sensitive clit twitches and before I knew it I could feel a hot liquid trail down my ass. “R…Rafayel…” I mumble before drifting off to sleep and he kisses my pudgy clit and whispers. “Sleep well…”

[dangerousartisanwerewolf]

To All Americans doom scrolling Tumblr right now:

First and foremost I am so sorry for all of you guys. You all did your part but hatred seems to have unfortunately won. I am also incredibly disheartened for all of you and for once in my life I honestly don't know what to say (which is odd for me lol).

Just know

That you did your part. You voted and did your part and that's all you can do.

It's not your fault. Period. Not to sound defeatist but one vote will not decide the fate of an entire election

Life will go on and we will keep on living. I know it doesn't seem like it right now but we will keep going and we will keep living our lives.

Things will get better, it maybe doesnt seem like it right now but things will ger better

I have sadly seen many people on here talk about killing themselves or pleading others to stay alive. As sad as that notion is, it is a very real concern for many now.

As many others have mentioned: PLEASE DON'T KILL YOURSELF OR RELAPSE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OVER THE ELECTION RESULTS!!!!!!!!! I know it may feel hopeless and like there is nothing else you can do but please don't. I mentioned many things you can do to distract yourself in a previous post if you want to look.

There are many $u1c1d3 hotlines and other mental health resources available you can access. Please do if you feel like you need to

List of hotlines/ help resources to call/talk to:

Sorry I can't link anything because I am not tech savy but hopefully a list is useful too. Got most of these off of instagram so maybe you'll see the posts circulating around. Keep in mind I am a minor who does not live in the U.S so if these are not the most helpful don't flame me.

LQBTQ Resources:

The 988 lifeline- 988lifeline.org (Call,text, or chat)

The Trevor project- thetrevorproject.org/get-help (24/7 crisis counselling)

SAGE x Hearme-sageusa.org/hearme (On demand mental wellness app)

LGBTQ center directory- lgbtqcenters.org/LGBTCENTERS (Centre directory, find one near you)

PFLAG- pflag.org/findachapter (Find a chapter near you)

QChat space-qchatspace.org (Online Lgbtq community for teens)

Suicide/crisis hotline

Dial 988 or visit 988lifeline.org

Warm lines that don't call the police:

Call blackline- 800-604-5841 (Centre's BIPOC, LGBTQ, Black femme lens)

Trans lifeline-877-585-8660 (U.S number) Canada has one of these too if you need it

Wildflower alliance peer support line- 888-407-4515 (Trained peer supporters

Strong hearts Native helpline- 844-762-8483

Thrive lifeline- 313622-8209 (Trans led and operated)

LGBTQ national help center- 888-843-4564

Hope that helps

Other easy ways to take care of your mental health:

Take a social media break/hiatus

Hang out with friends or family

Get out in nature (Go for a hike, bike ride ect)

distract yourself with comfort media

read

do something creative

practice a hobby

I already have a post with a pretty extensive list of stuff you can do to distract/cope if you need any ideas. I'm not going to copy it all out but its just a little down from this post in my account if you scroll.

Above all please stay safe:

Many have mentioned this but make sure you stay safe too, especially if you are in a red state where people may be looking for an opportunity. As fucked up as it feels to even type this out:

Scrub your socials of anything that may "Give you away" if you feel you need to

If you know someone who is queer, trans, poor, pregnant, an immigrant, needing an abortion, getting an abortion done, or anything that could make living dangerous to them- no you don't. try and keep loved ones safe if you can

Don't out yourself for being any of the above things if you can help it

Don't engage in politics talk with people if you can help it. If someone asks what party you supported don't tell them, they may just be looking for information they can use

One last reminder:

Please remember to:

Eat regular meals/remember to eat at all

Drink water

Take screen breaks (As it will hurt your eyes and give you a headache)

Go to sleep at a regular time

don't bed rot all day

don't doom scroll election content all day

turn off the news at some point, its not healthy to sit and watch the news all day

get out in nature/step outside and touch grass and get some fresh air if you can

talk to your loved ones and seek support if you need

get off social media for a bit (Even if you say all day social media doesnt make a difference to you I know it does)

make sure to take it easy today if you can, take care of your mental health and I hope that everything will be alright for you guys. Stay safe out there

✧˖*°࿐ 2024 tumblr wrapped

as this year comes to an end, and we revisit the memories it brought, it's only appropriate that we go through this past year in this account. thankfully, i was tagged by @monamipencil in her tumblr wrapped post, which gave me the motivation to make this post (which i otherwise would have procrastinated on) that gives me the opportunity to share a glance at this year in writing.

before we get into it, i wanna take a moment to thank everyone from the bottomest pit of my little heart: followers; fellow creators who I always look up to; every anon who's sent me an ask, even if it's just to ramble; everyone who's read any of my work and who's shown love to them. what this account is right now, is all because of your support and love. so really, i love you with every single living cell in my body.

for some basic details:

this account was created on may 14 (counting the day of the first post), so it's been 232 days of cxffecoupx!

as of the moment i'm writing this, we have 762 followers — a truly huge family indeed!

i've posted 40 works (crazy to even think about that??)

made 326 posts all together (i do yap a lot).

made a few really good friends...

...and also realised i would like to post even more in the coming year

for someone as inconsistent as me, i sure feel very surprised at the performance this year (you can actually see how low I'd expected of myself lol), and i'm so so grateful to y'all for all your love.

now, for some post specific stats:

again, i've posted 40 works this year.

top fic of 2024 — [11:18 pm]; seungcheol × reader; 2k notes.

longest fic — realising they're in love with you; ot13 × reader; 1.4k words. here for you; joshua × reader; 1.4k words .

personal fav — (you can't make me choose btw my babies >:(!!) what 2 am with them looks like; ot13 × reader. cheol as a girl dad; seungcheol × reader.

top member — seungcheol (very biased, i know).

total word count of 2024 — (idk i need my laptop to check ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ; will update soon tho).

this is all about my writing and works. again, i would like to thank every single one of you who's taken even a little time out to read any of it; i seriously cannot express it enough, i really really mean it.

using this section to dedicate some special thanks and extra love to a few people:

@simpxxstan — no amount of words would be enough to thank you. for all the times you've patiently listened to my rants and silliest ideas. for every time you've approached me to share your own thoughts because that just makes me feel soo loved. for all the times you've supported and encouraged me, not just for all the caratlife related stuff, but also personal problems and struggles. for helping me get through this semester of master's while you were going through it yourself. if i could invent a new word to convey all the gratefulness i have towards you, i'd gladly use that right now.

@seungcheorry — one of the reasons cxffecoupx is what it is today. if it weren't for your support and guidance, i'd still be using my personal account and there would be no cxffecoupx. and although it all started like that, you've only continued to show your kindness by your ongoing support and love, even during difficult times for you. please know that i'll always be here for you to reach out to. always.

@wonuumelody — the first friend i made here. the first person who messaged me to tell me how much she liked my very first post. literally gave me all the more reason to keep posting, because if not for anyone else, then atleast for her. thank you so much for your kind words that day; it still keeps me going.

@ylangelegy — where do i even begin with kae? i found the account through a coincidence and it's been such a rollercoaster ride for me since then. tbh, i look up to them as someone i'd like to use as my guiding light when things get rough. when i feel like the words i write do not look pretty, they're always the first to show me that they are. and that it more than enough at the time for me. my personal cheerleader, know that i'm always at the bleachers, cheering you on too.

@monamipencil — this is such a whiplash for me because this person was someone i used to look up to since the beginning of my cxffecoupx days,,, and then one day she interacted with my posts???? ris starstruck moment fr because i could not believe my eyes. so this will forever remain a core memory for me. truly.

@hearts4hansol — ofc i need to mention my secret santa, the one who kept me so entertained this whole month of december and gifted me something so so special that it'll remain in a part of my mind and heart for as long as cxffecoupx exists. i want to apologise again for all the messages i haven't replied to yet, and also thank you for all the silent support you've given me 'anonymously'.

@mejaemin — my only nct moot here. she has a special place in the neon green section of my heart. i love you so so much.

plus a few other people i'm sure to have left out. please don't feel i've forgotten, because someway or another, i'm grateful for your love and your part in showing support that has given me fuel to keep going on. this also goes to all the anons who've sent in their requests (including those i havent yet responded to; i see them everyday and i will most definitely get to them).

resolutions for next year?

write more — seriously. even though i feel like 40 works for half of the year seemed surprising to me, i do hope to be able to post some good stuff i can feel proud of. it's a bit difficult, but i'll try my best to reach there.

work through the requests and drafts — i have around 10-15 requests in the inbox, and nearly 30-40 little drafts (one-liners mostly, a brief clue about the idea i jotted down earlier). i would LOVE to be able to work through those and finish them up. that would honestly be so satisfying omg.

as a sidenote to the previous two resolutions, i would like to finish winter wonderland — by posting the remaining two drabbles. i know i've been pushing it for too long now, and i hate it as much as you do, honestly. so i would love to get that done first tbvh.

interact more — come across more writing blogs and make more moots. it's always fun to talk to someone (i am like this only on the net). this would also allow me to read more variety of stories and possibly learn something from them.

on a personal note — do well academically, make more friends, (hopefully) find new love, travel and explore more... might add more to this bingo card.

with this, we reach the end of my 2024 tumblr wrapped (ended up a little too long, pardon). thank you so much for this opportunity to let me take a glance back at this year, to learn from my mistakes and do better next time.

(not really tagging anyone because 2024 is almost over now, but if she's up to it, then i'd love to see @simpxxstan do it + anyone else who's interested, (i'm a little nosy and) would love to see it!!)

the time here is 23:45.

signing off as cxffecoupx of 2024.

see you on the other side.

happy new year! i love y'all <3

Most Written for theater productions on AO3

So i did this last year and, since i was bored again, decided to do it again. Since AO3 separates these alphabetically and by numbers, each is the most written for of their section. I ordered them according to number of fics. This is accurate as of 5/6/2024 2:31pm

Les Miserables - 26062

Hamilton - 21101

Newsies - 9137

Be More Chill - 7836

SHAKESPEARE William – Works: 6102

Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera & Related Fandoms - 5801

There's been some changes over the past year. Les Mis and Hamilton have about a thousand new fics each since last year. Newsies has surpassed Be More Chill. Phantom has surpassed Hanson. Wicked has surpassed Cats (Which makes me very sad tbh). In the Heights seems to have lost some fics sadly, going from 918 down to 905. Yank! has also lost a fic. AGQTLAM has replaced Ghost Quartet. 1789 has replaced 9 to 5.

End of year wrap up

I am so super late to this, but I’ve done this in the last few years and I think it’s a nice tradition to look back at the accomplishments I’ve achieved. 2022 was a very bleak year writing wise, and I’m happy to say that I’ve slowly started to get my mojo back a bit. My AO3 wordcount for 2023 was 36,936 words, but I’ve also posted some shorter things on tumblr, and I actually made a spreadsheet to track my progress and tally all my written words, including those that get deleted and also those not yet posted, and according to the spreadsheet I wrote 10k more. I still have a lot of WIPs hanging around in my drive, but I’ve managed to finish some of them, and I feel like I have more energy and excitement to finish some more, so, here’s hoping that 2024 will be the year that I actually end up with fewer WIPs at the end than at the beginning (something I tried back in 2020, before the world went up in flames).

Under the cut is what I published in 2023:

January 

Fading in Love (locked to logged in users) (Drarry, Explicit, 5k) I wrote this as a belated birthday present for @sassy-sassy3, it’s an 8th year secret relationship with a lil’ sprinkle of magical theory regarding the Dark Mark. 

February 

I decided to try a few prompts for HD Candyhearts and ended up having a lot of fun with them: 

Second Date AO3 tumblr (Drarry, Teen, 1,3k) with an insecure Draco after having spent the night with Harry.

The microfic Taste the love (for the prompt Sweet treats)

How deep is our love? AO3 tumblr (Drarry, Teen, 762 words) featuring established Drarry bickering and absolutely ridiculous Valentine’s cards.

The secret language of flowers AO3 tumblr (Drarry, Teen, 2k) featuring the classic tumblr post the fuck you bouquet.

Pillow microfic with Draco being a little shit

Charm me 8th year drabble FWB/secret relationship sort of vibes.

March

Take that ride (Drarry, Teen, 1,6k) I finally managed to write a fic idea that’s been scrambling around in my brain for ages. I wanted to create a mood and a feeling with this and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I also wrote a short fuck or die drabble that I’m super proud of: Let me show you  

June

Hold back the tide (Drarry, Teen, 2k) Another idea that’s been with me for years that I finally got out (despite not having written the fic that preludes this).

October

Thunderstruck (locked to logged in users) (Drarry, Explicit, 8k) My god, my beast, this fic resisted me and to top it all off I got covid right when I was about to finish it. I struggled with this so damn much, also wanting to create a vividness that doesn’t really come natural to me, but I’m so happy with how it came out in the end. Plus I got to collab with the amazing @fictional who, as usual, knocked it out of the park with her glorious art.

November

The Potter Malfoy bathroom war of 2007 (locked to logged in users) (Drarry, Explicit, 8k) Another fic that’s been with me for some time, although “only” a year. I saw the prompt for last year’s Suds when claims had closed, so I tried to forget about it but it wouldn’t leave me. I had so much fun writing this, I love writing Harry and Draco bickering and fighting with each other when we as readers know it’s basically their form of foreplay. 

December

When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night (Drarry, Teen, 6k) This was also a fic one year in the making. I started writing it to post on last New Year’s Eve, but I couldn’t finish it in five days (to my own astonishment), but I’m happy it got to marinate for a while because I added a scene with Scorpius that I’m very fond of.

I wasn't tagged by anyone and I'm sure people have already done this, but if this means you get another tag, consider pointing me to your own year wrap up so I can see it! @sassy-sassy3 @fictional @mystickitten42 @uncannycerulean @goblinmatriarch @phdmama @crazybutgood @dragonbornphoenix @wo2ash @rei382 @nv-md

finnick odair horse riding fic. put that man in a polo shirt put that man on the beach with a pony

The sand was never real but we pretended it was

Finnick Odair x gn!reader Summary: you and Finnick spend time together before the 75th games are announced, going horseriding and trying to stay away from the cameras Warnings: fluff. Pretty much pure fluff word count: 762

its like 3 words squared but here u go slay enjoy ur man on a horse

Finnick often reminisced to you about the white sand beaches in District Four and how he could swim every morning without pathetic prying eyes and you couldn’t help but feel bad for him. Having won your games at eighteen, you had had the chance to have most of a reasonable childhood over in District Seven, keeping the people around you safe and gardening until your hands were sore, but Finnick didn’t get that luxury.

So, one morning - after weeks of meticulous planning - you had managed to convince Finnick to go on a quiet walk with you around the capitol. You had secretly packed him a pair of navy blue board shorts and a matching blue costume for you. When you got near the destination, you put your hands over his eyes and led him toward the makeshift beach that you had begged a particularly rich District One victor to help you make.

“Y/N/N? What’s going on?” He asked with excitement in his voice. He gasped in shock when his feet sunk into the memorable feeling of sand and he removed your hands from his eyes to see a small beach next to the coast of the Capitol. He turned to you with a giddy smile. “You did all of this for me?” He asked, pulling you into a hug.

You nodded, wrapping your arms around him as you spoke, “You said you missed the beach so I got my hands dirty.” He laughed and picked you up, spinning you in his arms and whispering ‘I love you’ into your ear as many times as he could. You both sat in the sand for a while, blissful, but not ignorant to the cameras that were inevitably watching and - though you couldn’t be quite as close as you had aimed - you both had the best time you had had for a long while.

It had reached midday when your friend arrived with the next present. “You mentioned you know how to horse ride.” You spoke and Finnick's eyes widened.

He walked toward the large brown horse and began to stroke its mane gently, smiling at how much effort you put into today. “Correction, knew,” he replied and turned to face with an amused look in his eye. “But I’m sure it’s just like riding a bike.” You laughed as he climbed up onto the horse.

He had surprisingly done pretty well, having not fallen once yet - you assumed it was the calm temperament of the horse. He rode for a long while and you joined him every now and then, him coaxing you up onto the steed so he could show you the reigns, but you both eventually agreed that it wasn’t really your thing.

You watched in awe as his blonde hair ruffled gently in the wind and how effortlessly perfect he looked. It was as if he was always meant to be there. Now in his board shorts, you couldn’t help but admire his perfect body, his skin sunkissed and slightly freckled. He never was a fan of the scars that hid there, but you always assured him they were beautiful and showed that he was strong. He was perfect up there. Well, until he fell off. You instantly ran over to check on him and found him pretty much face down on the floor. You shook him but he didn’t respond, until he rolled over onto his back, roaring with laughter. You hit his shoulder gently, not in annoyance but more in relief - you weren’t sure how to describe it.

He took you by your waist and pulled you on top of him, the both of you comfortable against the warm sand of the beach. He kissed your forehead, then your nose, then your lips repeatedly, his hands gently caressing your waist. Then, without warning, you rolled over so he knelt over you and tackled him to the ground, starting an impromptu wrestling match that quickly ended when you kissed his neck in an attempt to distract him (which worked perfectly).

You both watched the sunset on the beach, hands holding one another as the brilliant amber hues shone in the sky. Though you had to be reasonably discrete so Capitolites wouldn’t catch you, today had been the perfect blend of relaxation and fun, something you had a feeling you weren’t going to feel again for a long while. You sighed in contentment as the stars began to shine, knowing that - no matter what - you would fight to spend every day with Finnick, for the rest of your life.

20 Questions for Writers

Tagged by @kiliinstinct so let's go

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Okay so the number on my account is a slight lie because I have two anthology-type fics with many fics inside of them like an egg sac, and in htryds’ case I took all of them out and separated them and I pulled one out of the other so.... 130 unique works. And if I count the oneshots shoved inside my 2021 Whumptober anthology, then 159.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

This also requires some math for the above reason so.... 948,078. (Holy cow I am so close to one million, wait—)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly Fairy Tail, Genshin Impact, and Twisted Wonderland, in that order, buttttt I have a few other fandoms under my belt and I am known to branch out on a whim. (Others include Voltron, RWBY, Fullmetal Alchemist, Seven Deadly Sins, Arrowverse, Transformers, Owl House, and literally so many others that I haven't actually published...)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Alright, we got:

—5. Demon Tales [Fairy Tail] - 762 —4. The Eighth Tower [Fairy Tail] - 914 —3. Sparks in the Night [Genshin Impact] - 1,066 —2. Pain Comes in Many Forms (and so does Comfort): Whumptober 2021 [Genshin Impact] - 1,121 —1. Of Dragons and Fairies [Fairy Tail] - 1,405

(So I guess, to no one's surprise, it's mainly HTRYDS but I will say I continue to be baffled by Sparks in the Knight, that random twoshot I wrote in two days XD)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I love responding to comments, both because it's fun and I love to let people know that I totally did read and enjoy their comment. (And I've even been able to just chat with people this way, beyond the scope of the fic itself, which is a fun little community feature I do enjoy as well.) If there's a comment I haven't replied to, it's probably because somehow it was marked as read and therefore I forgot to go back and respond.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm that is a tough one. I do tend to want to end things on a lighter note, despite the amount of whump I write... Maybe Mortal Instinct, actually, since I pull a bit of a (self-perceived) fate-worse-than-death bit. Though solely by audience reaction I guess it's Coming Home since I left it on a purposeful note of suspense, eheh.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh geez, um... I think a lot of them?? Have very happy endings?? Uhhh maybe I'll just say Of Dragons and Fairies, then, because it's meant to be very hopeful and family-shaped, with that bright future ahead.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No not really, actually. I have had a very good experience, especially on AO3.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Ha. No. (Guys I'm so aroace I barely write romance I will probably never write smut XD)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Yes actually! Not many that are finished/posted, but boy I actually love them a lot. (Many live in my head in amorphous form to be honest.) Most are AUs, so like the world of X with the characters of Y, but for straight-up crossovers, I think the craziest is The A.I.D. Files which is a co-project with @therosefrontier where we have a longstanding universe where we combine literally everything into a multi-sectioned multiverse, and the story focuses on an agency that is comprised of people from all manner of universes, leading to a team that includes Tech E. Coyote, Dani Phantom, Iggy (from Maximum Ride), Jim Hawkins, Numbah 5, and more. That said, there's not any present plans to continue it even though it lives on in our heads XD

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of...

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

There is one! (That I know of, lol.) Sparks in the Night was translated (into a paraphrased version, at least) into German, which can be found here.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yup. With my sister, over the years. Not really a direct one on AO3 though. (Just a shared storyverse or series there.)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Uhhhh I am not really a shipper at all, so I don't really have a hill I will die on, even though I do have ships I enjoy.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I hold onto the delusional hope that I will go back and finish all of my wips one day because I haven't abandoned them in my heart, but, I doubt I will finish United because it was a largely original world and I have been scheming for a way to make it an original work altogether, so when I revisit it, it will probably be for that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Um. I like to think I do good character voice/inner monologue. Strength of tone and syntax and all that.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Fight scenes pain me and I also am not great at scenic/setting descriptions, mostly because I forget.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

In most cases I think there are better ways to go about it, but it has its place. Especially if the POV character doesn't know it and is trying to learn or pick up words. (Essentially it boils down to making sure the experience is understandable and authentic to the reader's promised language, otherwise it is just a surprise obstacle/gate, like expecting a reader to understand excessive medical jargon in order to know what is happening. If the language is meant to be understood by the pov character, and therefore the audience, then I feel it's best to offer a direct translation in some way.)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Sonic the Hedgehog. In a place. That I will not name because I was very young. But it was Sonic the Hedgehog...

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Oh geez um picking favorites is hard. The How to Raise Your Dragon Slayers series as a whole is obviously my baby and I am very biased towards it, but one of my favorite pieces might actually be a FMA/MHA au oneshot that I lost in a harddrive crash and I am haunted by it because I wrote it in a frenzy of inspiration and honestly I think it slapped. XD

-

Okay so let's see which victims to tag... (Though obviously there's no pressure to do this lol): @therosefrontier, @forwantofacalling, @breezy-cheezy, @ljf613, @xxthe-hidden-spyxx, and whoever else wants to do it

Osoyoos (BC)

9 June 2023

We spent the first night of our trip in Osoyoos, just north of the border. My ride the next morning was a fairly simple exploration of the town.

The loop (doesn’t look much like a loop) included several spots on the lakeshore, the lower slope of the hill on the west side of the valley, and downtown itself. Generally quiet roads and some bike trail, all in just over an hour of riding. Ended at Junction Coffeehouse.

This last picture was taken from Highway 3 as we drove out of town. I didn’t ride up here (though I considered it).

Kirby's Recurring Nightmare, part 2

(Meanwhile in Africa, Hatari 762 A.D.)

"Arga, where's Missy?" Kurt asked as he jumped off his horse. The horse farted.

"In her room," Arga, the Swahili houseboy, answered. His nose wrinkled from the horse's fart.

"Thank you. Get me some coffee, will you?" Kurt asked as he went to Patches' room. The two calico cats shared a room.

My happy King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear was howling fiercely at Kurt and Patches singing, "Whiskey, leave me alone! I just want to go home!!"

"Did you have an epiphany, baby?" I asked him.

Happy King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear farted right after I asked him.

Kurt and the angry King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear disappeared out of that reality. It was a good thing they disappeared because they smelled like that horse's ass.

Patches was confused because she was supposed to be gone from that reality, and yet she was there. She tried to sing this song in order to go home: https://youtu.be/nLKMVXJSaSk?si=QKMxCZSYtMlfrE8k0.

The remaining King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bears joined in on the chorus.

She had to sing that song because she didn't have red shoes to tap together to transport her home.

Peter turned into a giraffe and bleated loudly.

I laughed and turned into a jaguar who looked like Patches. I started eating peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches.

Queen Megara Ace was taking a bath, so naturally, I went in to check on her.

"Ohhhh!!! Mamma Mia!" Queen Megara Ace screamed and stood up while covering herself with a wool towel.

I walked over and licked her right leg.

"HELLPP!!!!" Queen Megara Ace screamed.

King Bruce Ace rushed in and chased me with a chair. "Don't move! Stand back!" he yelled.

I laughed and walked away playfully.

Kurt returned to this reality. He and John Wayne walked over.

"What's going on here?" Kurt asked. "Patches, why is he poking you with a chair? Come on, let's get out of here. You don't belong here!" He pet me as he ushered me outside.

King Chocolate-covered Gummy Bear was pouring chocolate on my debit card with his big bear butt.

I wasn't sure why he felt the need to flavor my debit card. I didn't realize my debit card was food. Apparently, it made for a hell of a meal ticket.

Patches sniffed the chocolate-covered debit card and walked away. I concurred. The debit card was cursed.

"What if I told the bank what really happened to my debit card?" I asked.

Patches the calico cat meowed and said, "I doubt the teller would believe you."

"Please don't tell the bank that. Come on, Mama," King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear said dramatically. He picked up Patches the calico cat and took her to visit the aviary.

Meanwhile, I was abducted by an unidentified flying object and pulled up into it by a green glowing beam.

I growled proudly.

"Are you sure that you are Patches?" the leader of the green goblins asked me in a high-pitched squeaky voice.

"Yes. I am named Patches, but I am not to be confused with the calico cat that is going on a carriage ride to the aviary with King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear," I said.

"You are a jaguar named Patches?" a green goblin with bifocals asked me.

"Yes, if you can believe it," I said.

"Stranger things have happened," a green goblin with a squeaky voice said.

"Yeah, like my debit card being doused in chocolate from King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear," I said.

Patches the calico cat meowed a song that sounded like something a siren would sing.

The green goblin aliens laughed their asses off. Their asses fell off their bodies.

"That cat has a great singing voice," the green goblin with a squeaky voice said while trying to compose himself. He spontaneously combusted.

Patches the calico cat sang, "Mmmmrrrrrrrrfrrrroooowwww!!" and the lights on the ship were blinking like crazy.

The Rock Fish was teleported to the ship. "Her voice attracts me. Wherefore is that cat?"

"She'll be in the aviary in a minute," I said. "She does have a beautiful voice."

After a few minutes, we were at the aviary with other animals that were looking for birds to view and eat. Cats, dogs, and wolves howled. Patches the calico cat sang the soprano notes. I sang the tenor notes. We sang that birds were the words.

We sang a song that sounded like this: https://youtu.be/9Gc4QTqslN4?si=u-sXvEhlrdZm1QEJ

Patches was singing, "Meow Mow Mow. Ma mow meow!" until Jaybird was throwing gluten-free bread at everyone to help us calm down.

I was smelling the strong scents of the cats and dogs. Only wine would help us cope. Patches the calico cat specifically asked for red red wine because she wanted to quit smelling one particular stankass wild wolf.

The birds actually passed out bowls and glasses of wine to everyone in the waiting room, including the green goblins and the Rock Fish. The stankass wild wolf drank a bigass bowl of wine.

I was drinking a ton of wine before I started chasing a pidgeon. It was the only way to calm my jaguar ass down from being around all of those fuckass people and animals. I growled at the receptionist of the aviary on the way to the rain forest because she was a bitch. I hated how she did paperwork and had to say shit to Guff, a hippie humanoid bull from Hearthstone every time he was there.

King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear walked in the office and heard me growl. "Stop cursing at the receptionist!" he growled.

The receptionist then gave King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear a bottle of wine. He asked as he took the bottle of whiskey, "Do you have lasagna?" He opened the bottle and drank some wine.

"Yes, but we're singing about birds," the receptionist said. "Why couldn't you ask for chicken or turkey?"

"I'm a Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear. It has to be lasagna. Look at my preferences. CHICKEN PARMIGIANA LASAGNA," he said with a straight face. He drank more wine because it was there.

The dogs and prairie dogs gasped. The Rock Fish had a heart attack. Birds ate the Rock Fish's corpse.

Cody burst onto the scene and howled like hell.

Nugget burst into the office. "Sorry I'm late. Is there any wine left?"

King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear handed Nugget the whole bottle of wine.

Nugget opened the bottle and drank as much as his little body could handle. Then he went outside, took a shit, growled at a humming bird, and then came back into the aviary office.

The orc receptionist finally gave King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear a piece of chicken parmigiana lasagna.

When I entered a giant tree, I ate the pidgeon, jumped on the table in there and fucking broke it. I growled at the table and laid on it while a griffin just stared at me like I grew three heads all of a sudden. Actually, come to think of it, my vision did get more panoramic since walking in that room. I felt two more heads near me, so I guess after breaking the table, I grew two more heads. Those alien goblins really did something to me, I guess.

Three plague doctors with heads of ravens and bodies of humans who each had three eyes walked in the room to examine my existence. Their guess as to what happened to me was as good as mine. They asked me to open my mouth, and I opened three of them. Apparently, they saw some wild stuff because they squawked at me and flew on some branches that were nine feet in the air.

When they squawked at me, I was transferred to the middle of the rain forest. Swahili music played in the background. Three witch doctors with parrot heads and orangutan bodies chased me with spears and stethoscopes. I grew two more sets of legs and fucking ran.

"Patches! Patches! Patches! Arga! Missy! Come here! We need to examine what happened! You each have giant heads. Patches has one body!" one of the witch doctors shouted in Iago's voice from Aladdin.

Patches the calico cat ran and meowed loudly.

Arga and Missy walked to the doctors, were examined, and then sent back to the wild with clean bills of health.

"Patches! You have two bodies. I stand corrected. I'm sorry about that!" the green goblin witch doctor said in a strong accent as he stood there with a spear. Then he threw it at her.

Patches^3 and I growled and threw some meows in there. Hummingbirds were examining our ears and asking the witch doctors how in the hell were they going to fix this shit?

The witch doctors then chanted an ancient song to ensure our immortality. They also did a hopscotch dance. I felt the ear wax loosen up through the vibrations of their hopscotch dance. And then we were transferred to a psychedelic reality with cool tie-dye colors and Foghorn Leghorn and the chicken hawk. Daffy and Donald Duck were there, too.

"I SAY GAL! I SAY GAL!" a bigass humanoid chicken yelled at us while being surrounded by the MGM circle with rainbow colors. I don't know how the hell that bigass chicken got a clean bill of health, but I guess witch doctors don't give a shit if you're mutated or not as long as you're healthy. I guess they couldn't fix mutated or stupid, and that chicken was both.

We then saw the white seal from the 1975 movie. We were swimming with him.

"I think we're healthy if we're swimming with a seal," Patches the calico cat said.

"We think so, too," all three of my heads said simultaneously.

Cody swam with us and barked.

"When the hell are we getting home?" Patches the calico cat asked with a merp. She then said, "Merp."

We were then transferred to Kansas in 1939.

"Was that the magic word?" Patches^2 asked Patches the calico cat.

"Merp," Patches the calico cat answered as the white and black doctors poked at her and ran her diagnostics.

"She's cute," the doctor who looked and sounded like Cary Grant said.

Patches wore glowing red high heels and tapped them together.

We went back into the veterinarian office in 725 A.D. The doctors with three eyes then pet Patches the calico cat's belly. She purred.

"Your cat is in good health. She swam the whole English Channel three times, dodged a spear we threw at her, and still has the ability to travel throughout time and space," the three-eyed doctor who sounded like Iago said.

"Really?!" a random brown thrasher asked. He was then trying to perch onto a thin branch and failing.

King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear tried to keep his composure. "I just wanted to make sure," he said with a smile. He had strong teeth.

"Your jaguar is extremely healthy, however she is mutated. We need to do some experiments on her," the short doctor with three eyes said in an Afrikaan accent.

"Nothing that requires vaccinations, right?!" my three heads shouted simultaneously.

"Oh no. We don't need to make you even stranger! We simply want vitals so we can use you to help humanity," the tall doctor with three eyes said in a typical parrot voice.

"That's what they all say. King Chocolate-covered Gummy Bear, I say we blow this popsicle stand!" my three heads shouted simultaneously.

Patches the calico cat jumped off the examining table that was not broken and walked next to King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear.

We the jaguar took a dump out of one butthole, lit the dump on the fire, and ran out of there. We farted to give the explosion more power.

The healthy animals and humans escaped with bottles of wine. Birds flew out of the aviary like bats out of hell. Bats flew out of there like birds out of exploding aviaries. The orc secretary and her co-worker clan grabbed the paperwork and bottles of wine and mead and left.

Cody and Nugget were holding their bottles of wine in their mouths as they ran out of the exploding aviary.

The green goblins and plague doctors escaped with their unidentified flying object.

King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear found the last bottle of wine and casserole dish of chicken parmigiana lasagna in that office, barely escaped with his life, was partially melted, and then opened said bottle of wine and drank from it. He must have drank the other one prior to the aviary exploding.

We the jaguar went over and each took a bite out of our King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear.

"WHAT ARE YOU?!" King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear shouted.

All of a sudden, my King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear grew four heads, four sets of arms, four sets of legs, and grew to be 1600 pounds. They growled into the heavens.

"Time to get in the carrier!" Patches the calico cat announced as she, Nugget, Cody, and Sir Rollo got into the carriage quickly. Sir Rollo was late this year.

Prince Oliver, an elderly eloquent English man who had just arrived, jumped in that carriage quickly and screamed. "Patches, get in your carrier! Sir Rollo! DRIVE!"

The stankass wild wolf who was no longer stankass was running toward that carriage.

"You don't have to tell us twice!" Patches the calico cat shouted. She entered her carrier that was lined with green velvet and had a red cashmere blanket on the bottom of it. She then purred, closed her own door, and gave half a fuck about anything else.

Sir Rollo started beating the poor horses at the front of the carriage with the reins and screaming "YAAA!!!" repeatedly. His brown eyes damn near bulged out of his head. The horses had clean bills of health, too. There was no bullshit involved with them.

Those poor horses ran like hell. The wild wolf chased them down quickly. A trail of ice followed him.

The five King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bears, the two other heads attached to me, and I terrorized the whole forest because we were in search for popsicles since we kind of blew the other popsicle stand.

The world took a shit and blew up.
