Yesterday will forever be marked on my calendar as the day I got to meet up with my best writing buddy @thisgirlhastales in person ❤️

“Is it okay if I draw fanart of your fanfic?👉🏼👈🏼”

My brother in Christ we shall have a spring wedding

plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome 

the home series is possibly one of my favorite series/fics ever written. definitely in the vld fandom. i have it saved to my phone, i quote parts of it to myself constantly, i reread it every couple months or so. its very special to me. has been...practically since it was posted. so i just wanted to say thanks!! thank u. ♡

The fact that you did love and still love that series, practically since it was posted? I'm floating I'm so happy. And listen, I had surgery a week ago, so I've been a little floaty on pain meds anyway, but in all seriousness, this comment has brightened my recovery like a billion suns. I don't care how many years ago I wrote or posted a story - these stories will always be like my children, and I will always adore and appreciate anyone who goes out of their way to say that they like them in any way. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Also, I 100% would love to know any of the lines you quote to yourself. I quote lines (also to myself) of stories I've written and the fact that anyone does that for words that I typed with these ten fingers is amazing to me. You have no idea.

@reeceith thank you so much for this. When I wrote MMYH, I wasn't even setting out to write a series, it just happened. And I've had so many people tell me how much they love that series or how it's a comfort read (including another comment I'm about to reply to) and I can't tell you all how much it means to me to know this. Thank you so much for tagging me in this and sharing the story again with others.

One of my all time favorite rereads is the “Home” series by @reader115. I just love the softness and accuracy of the characters so much and when I’m looking for a comfort fic it’s typically this one.

ian and mickey are really going to be that annoying couple who can’t remember the last time they spent the night apart, huh? not that there’s any need to, now that mickey can sleep just fine in the west side apartment that’s starting to feel like home (and has curtains) and there’s not any shady stuff going on with the milkoviches under the cloak of night.

mickey doesn’t really like to get himself involved in the deciding process. he’s fine with whatever. they can have a quiet night in? cool. they suddenly gotta take all their crap and head for the border like their asses are on fire? tough shit, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? so, if ian’s going somewhere, mickey’s going, too. yeah, he’ll grumble and say that he’d love nothing more than to have the apartment all to himself, but actually having to spend the night without hearing ian talk from his sleep and leave a wet stain of drool on mickey’s pillow when he snuggles too close to him? no, thanks. 

ian loves plans and loves to know exactly what they’re doing that day. emphasis on they, because in ian’s head, they’re a unit. lip asks him if he could come to the house to help him with the renovations and maybe stay the night? no problem, ian’s already texting mickey that they’re going to spend the night at the gallagher house. what? they can still talk, mickey doesn’t want any part in their brotherly shoulder-rubbing, anyway. but to willingly go one night without embracing his husband tight before they go to sleep? without leaning close to smell the little spot behind his ear where the mixture of sweat and body wash and cigarettes always lingers? that’s funny, lip.

when u follow the ao3 bookmark trail until you find an author u haven’t previously seen at all but who has written like 50+ fics that all sound juicy as hell and so u read the first one you see and its GREAT…….. is there literally anything better in life

one thing you won't know until you experience it for yourself when you create art out of love is how it feels when people receive it with love. when you post a doodle and someone keeps it as their lockscreen, or when you write a story and someone tells you they were thinking about it all day, or when you post a poem and someone shares it with a touching caption. doesn't matter if it was objectively good or not. matters that someone spent time with it, that someone really, really liked it, and you made it. this kind of interaction, i think, it can really sustain you for weeks. it can sustain you through a lot of terrible things. its confirmation that you exist, and that (however briefly) your existence was appreciated by someone else through your art.

Their faces. I'm crying. 😂 Perfect representation for the two of them in this fic, too.

Being the Good Guy is Exhausting

After being approached by a coworker looking to hire a hitman, Mickey goes to his favorite ginger kickboxing client, who happens to also be the only cop he trusts. Together, they try to save an innocent life.

Also, Ian finally gets to kiss his hot kickboxing instructor.

I've been working on a new story, a one-shot, which can be read by clicking here.

Some affection between newlyweds 💕

...it means we take care of each other.

What it looks like: I've abandoned my fic

What's actually happening: It consumes my thoughts every single day. The urge to write gets stronger but my putty brain just. won't. let. it. happen.

I wrote a little something silly. Ian and Mickey discuss their firstborn's name.

It's less than 900 words, but I still added it to AO3 so I dont lose it ➡️ Just one middle L
