It was ridiculous for Grian to have a crush on High Prince Mumbo, of all things. He was just a lowly avian servant, his royal highness probably didn't even know he existed!
Well, they didn't at first. But then Mumbo's betrothed, Princess Ariana of the Avian kingdom, was killed after attempting to assassinate her husband-to-be, and the royal family needed a way to cover up the incident.
Being the only other parrot avian in the castle, Grian was quickly bundled up in stolen dresses more expensive than anything he'd ever worn, married to the man of his dreams under false pretenses, and now has to pretend to be someone he's not to avoid a war.
At least Mumbo seemed rather apologetic about the whole thing.
Grian's sorry about the whole 'fiancee trying to assassinate you' thing as well, so they even out in their misery.
And, hey, it's not the worst. Mumbo sets up a private wing of the castle for them, some excuse about wanting space for his new family. All the staff who attend to them are briefed on the situation, so it means Grian can at least be himself there.
Not that he minds being Ariana he discovers. The woman might have been a murderous traitor but hey! She had a good fashion sense. Grian also takes naturally to public events - it's a lot easier when you're already playing a character. He can be whatever people expect him to be. It helps Mumbo too, the guy wouldn't know how to get through a social situation with a script. One of the many reasons Grian loves him.
The only time Grian faltered was when he was chatting with some nobles and caught Mumbo watching him, the softest smile on his face.
He nearly melted on the spot.

For Everyone:
1. Remember to @sambuckylibrary in the post as well as #tfatwsanniversaryevent2023.

c ) Drawing/painting, that is not a sketch.
For Authors:
1. At least 500 words.

1. The podfic should at least be 10 minutes long.
2. It should be posted on either Tumblr or AO3.
3. The podfic can be of a fic made for the event, a fic not made for the event while still adhering to the prompt, or a notfic.
Things to be mindful of when creating:
For Sam
Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).
Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.
In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.
General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.
For Bucky
Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.
Specific Tags:
Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift”, “Sam Wilson is a Saint”, and "Bucky Needs a Hug".
Have fun and we look forward to your TFATWS Anniversary fics!
- The Mods

I'm here to feed the brainrot.
what about getting matching sets/themes with boys that already paint their nails?
In my head Lilia, Cater, Vil, Neige, Chenya and kalim already paint their nails (kalim wanted to match with his band mates)
Leona, Riddle, Azul, Silver and Rook paint theirs if there's a special occasion (Leona hates it but he's royalty so he has to keep up looks)
Ruggie, Idia, Trey, Deuce, Floyd, Jade and Jamil have experimented in the past with plain looks but ended up not liking nail polish because of how easy it chips ( Ruggie, Jamil, Jade and Trey due to work, Idia is a nail biter and Deuce and Floyd fight with their hands hands)
Ace and Epel are victims of toxic masculinity™️ 😔
Sebek get his nails to match Malmal
Malleus has black nails naturally so colouring them can be difficult
Jack doesn't like painting his nails because the way it reacts with his unique magic causes the paint to retract into his paw. Someone introduce him to coloured french tips asap.
(can I be 🔱 anon?)
YESSSSS U SEE THE VISION , , ,
tbh getting matching sets with the boys/getting their card suits on an accent nail (for the heartslabyul boys) would be so CUTE , , , there was a trend ab getting ur bf's tip as ur nail color and lowk. i think itd be so fun to do with them (french tip style, with their signature color as the accents) <333
yeah no i dont think rook/leona would paint their nails unless necessary LOL. rook bc the scent of nail polish is so strong and lingers even once a day has passed, and leona bc the scent makes him want to gag. i feel like silver would gladly has his done more often if ur offering to do them, though. he's just too sleepy to do them himself most of the time sdjk.
hm...jade does work but he's wearing gloves most of the time so i dont think he'd mind if you brought it up tbh? jamil might do them more often if you promise to do them on a weekly basis (since as long as u have a good base/topcoat, nails shouldn't chip too soon). i'm sure there's a magical topcoat/basecoat that prevents chipping, too!
ace and epel....unfortunate. however u can bait ace into doing it if u do deuce's (which would result in him bragging and egging on ace to do the same). he cannot stand deuce having so much of your time and attention in comparison to him its so stupid sdhbfj
malleus , ,, tbh you could do pretty iridescent colors, and so long as you have good quality nail polish, other solid colors should be able to show up fine on his nails!! i think he doesn't care as much about the color but seeing you put in so much focus and effort into his nails makes him feel a certain way , , ur putting ur claim on him, how could he say no?
OUGHHHHH ur right , , , gels would be a good solution for boys like jack/deuce who put their hands through more wear and tear, , , it would prevent chipping as well , ,, (however i do think doing deuce's nails on a daily basis is so cute and i think having a dremel near his hands would scare him a bit oIHSDOFHSD). plus gels/acrylics aren't super great for ur nails but we'll ignore it and assume a magical alternative doesn't cause damage LOL.
and yes you can be 🔱 anon <3

20+, looking for 20+ partners | hey all! i’m looking for some fandomless oc x oc plots. i’m open to all gender pairings and trans/nb-inclusive.
i would love to find someone interested in writing against my pirate captain (best for low fantasy, think a touch of magic and the supernatural) orrr my prince charming (i can squeeze him into just about any setting as long as there’s royalty involved.) both are men, and i’m happy to write them against any gender -- but if those two aren’t really calling to you, i have a ton of ocs that are begging to be fleshed out, so just ask and i’ll provide! i use art and descriptions for all of my characters btw, so keep that in mind before interacting.
if you couldn’t already tell, i love anything supernatural or fantasy-flavored. worldbuilding is my bread and butter, and i’m an absolute SUCKER for omegaverse, arranged marriage, and soulmates / fated pairs. the more drama, the more angst, the more self-indulgence, the better. i adore partners who are just as over the top as me, so don’t hold back! hit me with your best shot because i definitely want to hear it.
i’d prefer to take things at a medium pace with no pressure to reply asap. my muse is spontaneous, and i have a pretty busy schedule, so please don’t expect rapid-fire replies from me. i’m usually around to chat and plot and gush about brainrot, but sometimes my ic replies can take awhile. weekly replies are my goal, and you’re always welcome to nudge me! my usual replies are anywhere from 200-1k+ words, depending on my partner, the scene, etc.
open to nsfw and dark / mature themes. just know my heart is set on story with the potential for some spice. i write all roles, but i’m not into letting that dictate dynamics between characters and their personalities.
if you’re interested, just shoot me a dm and i’ll get back to you! 💜

Decided to post the essay I wrote a few days ago. Of course, this isn't meant to shit on anyone, but to work through my feelings on TOH's themes and how I see the fandom working through them.
TOH has a very – let’s say uneasy relationship with its fantasy elements—or at least, that’s how the fandom has received them. I just saw someone talking about how Luz shouldn’t have gotten a Palisman of her own because she “doesn’t need to look any more like Azura,” considering that Luz’s whole thing at the beginning of the series was needing to better “tell fantasy from reality.” But I feel like that’s only getting half the point—the issue with not being able to tell fantasy from reality rests, as the series argues, with expecting the world to cater to you and then lashing out when it doesn’t.
The series makes this most clear with Belos, who rejects the traditional high fantasy genre signifiers as spiritual pollutants and yet is living in as much of a fantasy world as Luz was. “[He needs] to be the hero of his own delusion” locates Belos’s major flaw—in a character way and in a thematic way—in his refusal to see himself as just another part of the world, rather than its center. All of this is spoken to us directly by the embodiment of the Boiling Isles and its magic. This character flaw is then reinforced by how Belos gets defeated and starts rambling on about how humans are innately “better than this” Because Reasons.
I think part of this disconnect might be happening because we’re used to anti-escapist stories rejecting the fantasy world in its entirety. For example, Ready Player One ends with the reveal that the creator of the VR world—it was called the OASIS, wasn’t it?—regretted not spending enough time in the “real world,” and the main character rectifies this by enforcing a weekly one-day service outage. Even though the book explores reasons why people would want to escape into the VR fantasy, including escaping the confines of marginalized identity categories like gender and race, it still asserts that you’re missing out by leaving the “real world” behind. I think also of modern fantasy stories with creatures like vampires and werewolves that bend over backwards to justify why being a human is still totally the best option— “Be glad of your human heart, Feyre,” and so on. Even in series where the human main character becomes inhuman, it’s often through force—characters like Feyre and Elena Gilbert are killed and then revived as monsters, but only Bella Swan actively wants to become one. (It really is the equal-but-opposite response to the question Robert McRuer says is asked of disabled people IRL in his article about compulsory able-bodiedness: “Yeah, but in the end, wouldn’t you rather be like me?” In both cases—whether disabled or super-abled—the normate, abled, “regular” human position has to be reinforced as the ideal.)
And let’s be real, it’s all cope. We can agree it’s just cope, right? But even besides that, I think we also need to keep in mind that, contrary to what internet discourse would have you believe, subverting tropes is not good writing in and of itself — subversion and deconstruction need to be ways of creating meaning within the work, rather than the meaning itself.
I think, then, we can see TOH’s conversation with escapism from s1 to s3 as a way of asking, “What parts of our childhood should we keep?” In Luz’s case, like in many of our own childhoods, the fantasy elements are from the actual fantasy genre because Luz wants to imagine a bigger life for herself than Earth allows, one that is scary and dangerous but in the end still caters to her/us. (See also Freud’s concept of the family romance, wherein a child dreams that their parents aren’t their “real” parents and that their “real” parents are magic space fairy royalty who will one day reclaim their child and everything will be awesome forever.)
In episodes like “Witches Before Wizards,” these genre signifiers provide Luz with a set kind of “script” for how she believes interactions should go—the disappointment and restlessness she feels in the episode is from the fact that it’s not catered to her just because she’s there, in a similar way that Belos believes humans are better just Because They Are. Worth noting that even in that episode, the “reality” Luz needs to learn to accept is still based in a fantasy setting—signaling that the word “fantasy” in “differentiate fantasy from reality” should not be about the genre or the act of consuming fantasy in and of itself. Season three then literalizes this with The Collector turning people into puppets and acting out “The Owl House” as a game with suffering participants.
Conversely, season three adds more nuance by revealing that Luz’s hyperfixation stems from her relationship with her father. The season does a lot to explore the relationship-building potential of fiction, from Amity suggesting her and Luz dress as Hecate and Azura to the reveal that Camila is a secret Trekkie.
A fellow autistic person once described their special interest not just as something they’re obsessed with, but as part of how they processed the world. We can see this kinda play out in Camila’s conversation with Luz right before Stringbean hatches: she says she has forgotten the “Astral Oath” and responds to Luz’s question of her being a “secret nerd” with the admission that she shouldn’t have let her own fears of and experiences with being non-conforming compel her to try and change Luz. The Astral Oath and how it played out within Cosmic Frontier provided a framework for Camila that she admits she should have followed: “My biggest mistake was trying to protect you by changing this beautiful, good witch into something she wasn’t.” The best things about Luz are also the things that make her more drawn to the fantasy genre.
The rampant egoism of the genre should be left behind, the show says, but not the good lessons and the relationships you’ve built from it.
This anti-egoism does, of course, run up against the fact that Luz is still the main character. If Luz getting a Palisman makes her too much like Azura and therefore undermines the message, then honestly I don’t see how the final battle itself isn’t just a colossal fuck-up. Not even in the sense that Luz got Titan magic, which I have seen people say is now suddenly Luz being A Chosen One all along, but in the sense that Luz straight up shouldn’t have been in the final battle at all. (Honestly, if you want YA with a good anti-egoism message imparted through its structure, you’re looking for Robert Cormier’s The Chocolate War—book, not movie.)
I said on Twitter while I was reading Charlie Ledbetter’s “The Dysphoric Body Politic” that TOH has an interesting relationship with its escapism messaging because Luz DOES leave the human world. Even though she had to finish high school in the human world, the finale makes it clear that she’s been putting all of her spare energy and labor into the literal rebuild of the Boiling Isles. She entirely gives up on making a life for herself on Earth.
This isn’t super surprising, (I was always sure it would happen) but I do think it’s where the uneasiness—the messiness—between TOH and its genre comes into play. Yes, Luz needed to dial back her daydreaming and yes, her being in the demon realm ultimately led to it almost being destroyed, but it still is the worst possible ending if she doesn’t get to stay there.
In the article, Ledbetter, a transmasc who discovered themselves through fandom, writes that “Escapism is not a departure from reality. Rather, escape decenters the hegemony of oppressive systems that announce themselves as real and creates space to imagine alternatives.” And yet within the show, it’s a closed circuit—the threat to diversity and self-expression comes from the human realm, and yet there is no attempt to save it. Ledbetter, writing of fandom’s political potential, suggests using fanfic to imagine alternatives specifically so we can give ourselves the drive to try and enact them in the real world.
TOH’s sister show, Amphibia, gives us a taste of this in its finale: in the ten years since the Calamity Trio has left, the once-evil king lives out his final days planting seeds, and the girls themselves are dedicated to either educating others or creating art. They honor the memories of their childhood fantasy—Sasha with two crossing swords as a patch on her jacket and a charm dangling from her rearview mirror, Anne with her entire career—but the portal is closed. It’s not coming back.
Given everything TOH does in season three to reaffirm the value of fantasy as a lifelong interest, though, I think what it wanted to avoid suggesting, like a lot of traditional portal stories do, that the fantasy world is the world of childhood and needs to be escaped. Aslan tells Peter and Susan, after all, that they’re getting too old for Narnia. Peter and his siblings return there only in death; Susan isn’t so lucky. If Luz shouldn’t have gotten a Palisman, something which symbolizes she’s discovered a fundamental truth about herself and has “earned” her place as a Witch, then honestly she shouldn’t have been able to come back to the Boiling Isles, either. How many of us would've been happy with that?
If we want to square this with the show’s politics, I think we can read this as the show saying that, yes, there are some things you have to do as a child, but once you’re free, you aren’t obligated to stay with the society and people who won’t ever see you for who you are. In a way, Luz going back and forth between the human and demon realms parallels the teenage fantasy fan, making space in their lives for fandom as a place of joy and connection after all the boring hard “adult” work is done for the day. You don’t have to leave it behind; building outside of the system and making your life centered around your joy is hard work, yes, but worth doing.

Weekly Tag Wednesday
Hi last week @creepkinginc and @deedala tagged me in this fun music-themed tag game. And yeah maybe I’m a week late, but I was on a plane and then in a foreign country and now I’m sitting in an airport.
Name: Keely
What is the most listened to artist in your music app of choice this month? How do you people know this?? I don’t know but last.fm says my top track is “Like a Villain” by Bad Omens.
What song do you know all of the lyrics to? “Oops I Did It Again” was the first song I consciously learned the lyrics to.
What song do you pretend to know all the lyrics to and sing along to even though you don't? Honestly most of them because I can’t understand a darn thing people say.
If you were to be crowned Queen/King/Royalty of listening to a band or artist, who would that be? I’ll take the Motionless in White crown.
What band/artist surprises you the most on your frequently listened to artists? I don’t know that I am surprised by any of them.
Favorite line from a song (or one you have been thinking about lately)? AH this is so much pressure. “Espresso” has been stuck in my head, especially “I’m working late, ‘cause I’m a singerrrr.”
Guilty pleasure band or song? I’m not even guilty about it, play this song at my funeral.
Okay let's talk fandom music:
Fave band or song you've discovered from a Fan Fic? I did not discover “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” from CG, but now I associate those two things together.
Fave Fanfic Playlist? I can’t just answer everything with CG.
Fave Gallavich song? Stop I have a playlist.
Do you listen to music recommended by the writer or an included playlist? Yes usually.
What song do you think is Gallavich coded? Half of Taylor Swift’s discography and “Treacherous” is stuck in my head.

Happy end of the year, and welcome to the new one, with an even longer list than usual!
This time is also the last weekly edition, as I'm running out of ideas for themes. Thanks a million for the people who helped along the way, this could have not have happen without their support.
Appropriately, the theme this week all about soft and happy endings. SFW, the description includes rating, word count and main characters.
Tracy's Thursdays by @edosianorchids901 - rated G, 2.5K - focusing on Sergeant Shadwell and Madame Tracy. Summary: Tracy enjoys having a break from seances every Thursday, but that’s not why it’s her favorite day. The real reason involves her sworn enemy and a little weekly meet up. And maybe in the future, every day will feel like Thursday.
He's Not What He Says He Is by 221b_ee - rated G, 1K - focusing on Anathema Device and Newton Pulsifer. Summary: they're royalty from opposite warring kingdoms who are doing the whole treaty signed with marriage thing. also they're lesbians and newt is trans. nuff said.
Wants by @fenrislorsrai - rated G, 495 words - focusing on Anathema Device and Newton Pulsifer. Summary: Staying up late and calling her mother instead of sleeping is a good way for Anathema to give herself an existential crises. Can tea possibly fix this?
Zen and the art of making pasta by ngk_is_cool - rated G, 2.8K - focusing on Anathema Device and Newton Pulsifer. Summary: With the first anniversary of the almost apocalypse fast approaching, Newt is trying to impress Anathema. Will making a homemade meal, using the machine her ancestor Pasta invented, be as successful as he hopes?
Don't Eat the Kids by dreamsofspike - rated G, 1.7K - focusing on Anathema Device, Newton Pulsifer and Gabriel. Summary: Descent Into Perdition universe. Anathema and Newt take Gabriel on an outing. Nothing to see here but sweetness and fluff <3 ;) For Ace who wanted Newt/Gabe friendship and ... goats <3 :)
Pillows by @brokencasbutt67-writer - rated G, 500 words - focusing on Gabriel and Beelzebub. Summary: number 32 of the fluff dialogue prompts: i got us new pillows.
Small by Phoenix_of_Athena - rated G, 496 words - focusing on Adam Young, Sarah Young and Deirdre Young. Summary: There's a nest of baby birds in Adam Young's back garden.
Swap by ChokolatteJedi - rated G, 446 words - focusing on Adam Young, Pepper and Dog. Summary Pepper is upset about her bike. Adam thinks he has an obvious solution.
Theological Botany: A Study of a Fallen Houseplant by chlodobird - rated G, 1.4K - focusing on Crowley and Crowley’s plants. Summary: We've all seen the headcanon that Crowley simply makes Scary Noises to assert dominance and them takes his spotted, imperfect plants to another room where they're his "Fallen". Anyway, I noodled on that concept a bit. It's pretty much what it says on the tin. What would one of Crowley's houseplants think of him?

Yesterday and possibly the day before’s gameplay progress because I forgot to make a post yesterday and I’m not sure if I made one the day before:
I made it to level 90 as a summoner!!! And also scholar, technically, but it’s not as if I’ve ever actually played as that. Due to having gotten so many pieces of level 90 gear from my retainers going on quick explorations, I’m already at an average item level of 560 as both classes, which is second only to the 565 I have as a dancer (and the 620 as a weaver, technically, but that one isn’t a combat class)! Not bad considering I don’t have access to any level 90 content yet, haha =P
I now only have black mage and reaper left to level out of the main classes I’ve been focusing on (I think they’re both level 88, perhaps even approaching 89), and I can still use the main story to level both of them quite effectively, which is both exciting and somewhat unfortunate in terms of feeling like I’m wasting that story quest experience once I do get to the level cap.
Now that I’ve reached level 90 as a caster class, though, I can finally wear my ornate rinascita jacket of casting that I’ve had for literal months thanks to Wondrous Tails certificates! This inspired me to make a fancier summoner glamour - but I’m still very attached to the demon skirt + caller’s sandals combination that I’ve been wearing as a summoner for so long now, so I ended up spending a long time in glamour hell trying things out to reach a happy medium.
This is what i eventually ended up going with - I like to think it still works as a top half that can be worn with the bottom half! I think I’ll save the rinascita coat for when I reach level 90 as a black mage, since it fits Lorenza’s princess/royalty theme very well, but I am at least still wearing it right now as far as others see in the game, which is neat.
Anyway, where were we?
Regarding the story, I’m currently at the first level 86 quest, and part of me is tempted to try and make a lot of progress over this weekend, so I can get through it in bigger chunks. I think I might be able to do it all in one weekend if my Shadowbringers progression was anything to go by, but it would be very dependent on cutscene length - I’m just quite aware of how the story will start to pick up the pace, and so I don’t want to have to stop playing due to time constraints at a point where it doesn’t feel right to pause the plot, if that makes sense.
I really need to start bringing red mage up through the levels as well, I’ve realised. And maybe machinist, but I don’t really remember how to play as that at this point, even if it is level 70. In theory it might make sense to try and push to level 86 as a red mage and then let the story bring it the rest of the way, but that would mean both a lot of level grinding and also having to delay story progression. If nothing else, at least I can use it for levelling up the Trust avatars, since I haven’t really touched that system yet!
In terms of weekly things.. I’m still working on my Wondrous Tails for this week, and I went to the Doman enclave to hand in donations only to get completely distracted by glamour stuff (as you can see by where I’m standing in that screenshot from before), so.. I need to actually sort that next time I log on, haha.
#a voidsent voice 🜸#gameplay tag#lorenza (fell‑court) 🜸#I fixed the rest of the in-game glamour to go with the rinascita coat more#I think I’m still using my very old level 60 healing glamour as a scholar though haha#even if i never play as it I still want the gear I have to look some semblance of coordinated you know?

King Cleo had no interest in finding love, she was here to rule and that was it. So when her successor, Ren, told them she had to get married in order to keep their status, like he’d done with Doc, it was safe to say she was unimpressed.
Her first thought was Scott, a platonic marriage between the two of them would make her life easy, and he was a good partner to have, but he’d already gone and tied the knot with Emperor Jimmy. So who the fuck was she supposed to turn to? Pearl was off frolicking through sunflower fields and wanted nothing to do with her, and Etho and Bdubs had already gotten engaged to each other. She was out of options!
That was until Ren suggested Martyn.
“He’s a good hand!” Ren had argued, trying to convince them to marry Martyn. She hated to admit it but he was right, he’d worked well beside Ren in Third Life. But did she really want to marry her ex-soulmate and rule by his side?!
… maybe, now that she thought about it. They’d worked well together later in Double Life and he had proven to work well with a king. They’d give him a chance, but if he fucked it up like he did Double Life… well, she was king now. Off with his head!
Martyn's loyal. Loyal in the ways that matter to her. He's smart, thinks quickly. Funny, too. They like funny. And it'll keep him close to Ren, which she's sure those two will want.
They don't need to be in love with each other. As long as their working relationship is good, she'll be happy.
(It turns out their relationship gets closer when Martyn isn't making terrible decisions.)

Why Hallmark Star Jonathan Bennett Doesn’t Decorate for Christmas
Jonathan Bennett is considered a part of Hallmark Channels’ Christmas royalty but at home he’s a bit of a grinch. Still, he swears there’s a good reason for his lack of holiday spirit. “I’m going to be honest, I don’t decorate for Christmas,” Bennett, 43, exclusively confessed to Us Weekly while promoting Hallmark+’s Finding Mr. Christmas. The actor, who hosts the festive-themes reality…

Weekly Roundup April 28 2024
I've decided I don't want to spend $300 per year on a website builder, so I'll do a weekly roundup here for free on Tumblr.
Check out all the new books from indie and small press authors on Readers Roost.
If you're looking for a line/copy editor and proofreader for a project, click the cost-effective editing and book reviews link at the top of the blog. I currently have openings for new projects in May, but these close quickly. My contact information is in the post if you're interested in booking me for a future project.
The April PAD Challenge/NaPoWriMo are coming to an end for this year. I have poetry prompt posts to inspire you. I need to get my submissions ready for Soul Ink 2. The deadline is April 30. If you have poems you'd like to submit, head to the Dragon Soul Press website to learn more.
They are also accepting submissions for this year's horror drabble anthology with a deadline of May 31, and you can learn more about their forthcoming short story anthologies for this year and next year.
I've been working on a Lovecraftian fantasy fairy story starring my OG OC Yadira Root (Nyarlathotep's daughter with Queen Nathicana) and had been hoping to submit it to the Trickster anthology. However, if I don't think it's up to scratch, I'll submit it to next year's fairy-themed anthology.
You can check out my story (written as C. L. Hart) Of Outer Gods and Fallen Angels in the brand-new Fallen anthology. This is primarily a tale of platonic friendship, but there is also a star-crossed lovers arc.
Of course, there are many other wonderful stories in the anthology as well.
I almost forgot to mention that I've finished the A to Z Challenge for this year. Now I need to stop being a socially awkward little fucker and pay some of the other participants a visit. I also need to revive my promotional efforts. This year started off a bit shaky as far as my mental well-being was concerned.
Follow me here for updates and other good/weird stuff.

The Solar Company Near Me
TruHome Pros Solar is the best choice for a solar company near me in West Dundee, IL. Installing solar panels offers homeowners a wide range of benefits beyond just reducing their electricity bills. Along with the financial benefits solar panels give, they also increase the value of the property they are installed on. This is because potential buyers are attracted to homes that offer energy efficiency and independence from the traditional grid. Also, solar panels provide an added degree of energy independence by reducing reliance on the conventional energy grid, which can be subject to fluctuations in pricing and uncertainty. In short, investing in solar panels can lead to higher property prices, energy savings, and a greater sense of control over one's energy consumption. For your need of a local solar company, call 847-994-4511.
