#thank you for reviewing margo!
Note
Ok, first off, Another World is sooooooo goooooood. You need to tell me just how many games you played in life to be able to write something like that!
I like the way this one's written from jk's perspective entirely, too. LOVE the subtle angst atmosphere throughout and my heart broke a little when his does at the end of that game. 🥹 I hope he came out of it unscathed, poor boy and his expectations. 💔
And reading all of this makes me miss Lia. How has my girlie been doing? Will we be hearing from her soon?
Thank you for writing yet another great chapter, Cath! Looking forward for more! (Yes, even if they're up on my busiest day 😆)
Thank youuu, I’m so humbled 🥹 And no, I don’t game AT ALL 🙈 racing games are the only video games I’ve played - this was just a day of research!
Yess, this was a JK-centric fic and I realised I hadn’t written one in forever. Glad you enjoyed the angst! I tried for an under the surface, unrealised angst almost so I’m glad that travelled.
We should see Lia soon… but there’s just so much happening in the present that I don’t know where to fit a future timeline fic BUT I’m gonna try 🫶🏼

And they were Rommates (part 18)
A/N: Ok so, a bit of a cool, chill chapter. I've been a bit mean to you. So a bit of a nice calm moment. I swear it's because i'm nice. I'm nice, i swear.
Warnings: SMUT. 18+ CONTENT.
You blinked open your eyes. It was dark outside. You noticed it immediately. You also noticed that Simon wasn't with you. You stretched your limbs, you were sore. You were still wearing the bunny suit. Blushing, you reviewed in mind the reaction Simon had. You giggled to yourself before deciding you were hungry.
Simon was a master of aftercare. He cleaned you up, brought water, asked if you wanted snacks, and then it was cuddle time. Turns out you fell asleep this time. Getting up slowly, you hopped your way out of the bedroom and into the hallway. You were wearing the bunny headband, that you were sure you had lost when you were railed up.
Simon must have put it back on your head while you slept and that made you melt. The house was quiet. You wondered where the boys were, especially Simon.
Once you reached the end of the stairs you hopped to the living room area twirling around in the pretty dress.
Eyes. Looking at you. Many. You yelped, jumping.
"What the fuck guys! Why are you creeping like that?!" You yelled.
Simon stood, leaning back against the counter arms crossed while the squad, price included, sat at the large table.
"This is why you got us out of the house!" Soap said, offended.
Riley had jumped as soon as he had heard you yelp, you were trying to handle the big boy trying to receive pets from you.
Gaz laughed, Price chuckled under his breath. Konig looked slightly embarrassed.
Simon was eyeing you confidently. You'd thought he'd be somehow jealous or would want to hide you. Instead he looked proud. He was gushing over you, and proudly showing what's his. You felt yourself get warm.
"Just… got down to get a snack. Continue… whatever you guys are doing."
You walked over to the kitchen feeling Simon's stare as you walked.
"Actually… captain. I got places to be." Soap interjected, getting up and smoothing his jacket.
You noticed he was indeed well dressed and pampered.
"Well, where are you going young man?" You teased as you grabbed something from the fridge.
"I'm taking Margo and Tyler out to dinner, and then we're going to the arcade." He said with a big grin.
You gasped and jumped happily to the counter.
"No way!! You asked her out!"
"I asked them out. I have to win them both." He said, a tiny bit of stress in his voice.
"Oh don't worry. I think Tyler loves you already." Gaz added.
You smiled happily at him.
"What made you move sergeant?" Price asked, visibly curious.
"Well." He started, turning his face to you. "Someone told me that we shouldn't waste time. Because things happen, and then we don't get to see our plans happen." He finished with a soft smile.
You blushed, half embarrassed, avoiding Simon's gaze at all cost. Soap ran to you, kissing your cheek before running off. You were captivated by your drink.
"Actually sir… I…I… have to go too…"
You looked up at Konig's voice, eyes wide.
"Don't tell me you have a date too…" Price looked slightly shocked yet arbourded a wide smile on his face.
"I.. I'm going to watch a movie with Grim.. I-I'll be right in front so if you need-"
"No Konig it's alright. Enjoy your movie night." You said in a soft voice.
His eyes wrinkled behind the mask before he waved and started walking away.
"Wait! Comin' with ya. Gonna see if Aquila and Richard are up to some gaming tonight." Gaz said, standing up and running off behind Konig.
Simon seemed to chuckle before turning around facing you. Thank God the counter was separating you two because you just wanted to kiss that man, by the simple way he looked at you.
"Some coffee captain?" You asked, eyes not leaving Simon.
"Gladly but I don't want to hold the candles." He joked.
"You'll be alright Price. Get a coffee with us and then you can run off." Simon added, heading to the coffee machine to prepare said coffee.
Price sighed but accepted. He rose to his feet, walking to the counter taking a seat in front of you. You looked up at him, a small smirk on your lips.
"I know what you want to ask." He said with a smile.
"Do you?" You said in the same tone.
"Yes I do"
"I haven't said a thing."
"I can see it, so go on. Ask."
"Do you want me to ask?" You teased.
"It doesn't matter-" he started.
"Why aren't you with Elizabeth tonight?" Simon rang from behind you, making you choke on your drink.
Price suddenly looked embarrassed. Simon walked back to the counter, putting two cups of coffee down, and a snack for you that you happily accepted.
"Simon. It's…"
"Complicated?" He joked.
Price sighed again.
"What's so complicated?" You asked.
"She's… half my age."
"So?" Simon questioned.
"So. She deserves better. Someone who'll take her on dates, full of energy. Not someone who'll come home and get dinner and sit on the couch watching TV before going to bed."
"I've seen you run faster than Johnny on missions." Simon said, annoyance peaking through his eyes.
You chuckled again.
"You're all but old Price. And you're a gentleman." You tried.
"I think that's not enough." He answered.
"That's not up to you to decide." Simon interupted.
You blinked looking at him.
"Someone, informed me. That it wasn't up to us to decide if they care or not." He finished lifting his mask to take a sip of his coffee.
Price looked at you and you tried to look away.
"You do teach good things to my boys." He teased. It made you smile.
"Perhaps it's time I teach you something and you listen." You finally said. "John. Elizabeth is a sweet girl. She's calm. She's strong. She's head over heels with you." Price looked taken aback. "You need to stop being an idiot and start letting yourself live. It won't kill you to try things with her. I'm asking you to take her out on a date, you clearly both want to. You don't have to ask her to marry you tonight." You teased.
You were almost sure you heard Simon laugh under his breath. Price looked amused.
"Well… maybe you're right… but how do I do that?"
"Be yourself. Chicks dig that as gaz would say." Simon said, taking another sip.
"Do chicks dig that? Yeah. Yeah they do." You teased.
Price seemed to think for a few long seconds before he downed the rest of his coffee and got up.
"I hope she likes grilled meat. There's a pub grill that I've been dying to try…" he said.
He still looked stressed as he put on his coat.
"She'll love it. Just don't overthink this. Enjoy yourselves." You said with a reassuring smile.
"Yeah. I fucked it up by overthinking at the beginning…. Don't do that." Simon said, suddenly very serious.
You felt a ping in your heart. You remembered your first fights. When he had left for missions without a word. You felt sad for a second and he noticed it.
"I'm sorry baby I-.."
He leaned down letting his forehead touch yours as he held you in his arms now.
"It's ok. It's gone. We made it Simon." You answered with a smile before turning your heads to look at Price.
"You two are amazing together. I'm happy for both of you." He said truly, making you smile. "Now start making babies." He finished, making you gasp and then bite your lip as he walked out on that note.
"Such a good idea…"
You snapped your head back to Simon.
"Simon!"
He kissed you in a chuckle.
"How about… a date night for us too?" He proposed.
"Hmmm… what did you have in mind?" You asked excitedly.
"Well… how about, video games, pizza, and then… I'll make love to you until all you can think of is my name." He whispered, looking deeply into your eyes.
You took a second to breath, biting your lip, his eyes following the movement.
"That sounds amazing…"
The next morning the house was buzzing. Everyone was there, Kate included but except Melissa and Amy. It was Sunday and everyone had come over for a barbecue at lunch.
Summer was finally here. The warm sun, the heat. It felt great. Of course, the house had a summer pool in the backyard, covered by wood floors in the colder months. Everyone was stoked. Tyler and Soap ran around playing with water guns, Gaz, Konig, Grim and Richard following the move. Price and Simon were at the grill while you sat at the table with Elizabeth and Margo.
"So how was your date?" You asked, looking at Margo.
"Weeelllll. It was… honestly very nice. It was chill, fun, and I really enjoyed myself." She started.
"And?" 'Liza asked.
"And… I think… I don't know. But the way Tyler and him just get along so well… you know? The arcades were the best moment. I haven't seen Tyler so happy in a very long while." She explained.
"I haven't seen you this happy in a long while." You commented softly.
She smiled.
"I'm so happy for you…" Liza said.
You nodded at her words.
"What about you Liz? How was it?" You asked, wiggling your eyebrows.
"Wait! No way!" Margo interrupted with wide eyes but a playful grin on her face.
"Well…" she started as she blushed, throwing a look at Price.
You noticed, of course, the little look the man shared with her, the little smile.
"Oh. my. god. You have. To tell us." Margo half whispered. You giggled.
"It was amazing. We went to eat, and he was so nice. It was a bit… stressful at the beginning because… he showed up out of nowhere yesterday night. He asked if perhaps I was hungry and I'd like to dine with him… I swear I didn't know where to put myself. I… was blushing so hard!" She told the both of you before hiding her face in her hands.
Margo was hyping her up, jumping in her seat.
"And and and??" She pushed.
"And… I accepted. I wanted to get dressed properly but… he said I looked beautiful, and I shouldn't stress about it."
"I knew it, that old asshole has Rizz." You commented, making her chuckle.
"The diner was… really nice. We talked very comfortably… he didn't try to hide. He was a bit uncomfortable with how young I was but… we talked about it. Turns out… we're seeing each other again tonight we're doing something calm… at his house."
Margo was now a mess, she looked like we had informed her she had won the jackpot at a casino. She was gathering almost everyone's attention, especially Tyler and Soap.
"Hey! What's making you so happy mama?" Soap asked with a wink, Tyler jumping next to him.
"The both of you. You're both making me so happy!" Margo answered with a smile.
Tyler cheered, hugging his mom before giving Soap a high five. You laughed a bit, taking Liz's hand in yours, giving her a reassuring smile. You got up still holding her hand making her follow you. You walked towards the big grill. Simon had a way to watch you every time you moved that made you want to fall on your knees for him.
"Hello ladies." Price greeted.
You could see from the corner of your eye Liz smiled and looked down.
"So. How have you treated my girl John?" You asked, taking a very motherly tone.
"Well… I hope I was a gentleman.." he answered with a little smile.
"Oh you were! Don't pay attention to her! She's always like this…" Liz whined, pushing you a bit with her shoulder, earning another laugh from you.
You let her go, walking towards Simon who immediately wrapped his arms around you. Liz walked to Price, standing next to him. Simon dropped a kiss on top of your head. Today he wore a balaclava. Aquila had found another facemask that would hide the lower part of his face, a skull print on it but he wasn't entirely comfortable with it yet. He was getting a bit more comfortable not wearing a mask at home, though it was still rare. You wouldn't push him, it didn't matter to you, behind closed doors, you had all of him.
It was a beautiful day, yes. But something still bothered you.
"What's wrong baby?" He asked.
"Melissa isn't here yet. She's not usually late…" you said.
"Why don't you call her? Ease your mind." He said.
You nodded before kissing his cheek and separating. You took out your phone, pressing 'call'. The phone rang, again and again, before it hung up. You frowned looking at your phone. You were going to dial again when you received a text.
Hey Darling! So sorry! Amy is sick… she's sleeping right now, can't answer… probably won't make it today.
"Oh…" you let out.
"What's wrong?" Simon asked from behind you.
"Amy's sick… they won't be able to make it…" you let out.
"Well… at least we know why. Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah… we should pass by later tonight to check up on them."
"We will."
You smiled up at him again.
"Come on everyone! Let's eat!" Price called everyone.
The afternoon went by smoothly, everyone decided to get down for a monopoly. Though you were too much, teams were therefore created. Soap, Margo and Tyler. Konig and Grim. Gaz, Áquila and Car Keys. Price and Liz. You and Simon.
You hadn't fully grasped the actual warning Simon had given you when you had first moved in. Konig was yelling in German at Gaz in only 30 minutes. Car keys tried to back him up. Soap and his team kept ending up in jail, Tyler found it really funny. You and Simon were just trying to have fun while chaos bloomed. Price and Liz were at the top of the board. Turns out they made a wonderful team together.
It went on for hours until everyone decided to stay for dinner. You had decided to text Melissa then.
Hey! How's Amy doing? Do you need something? I can pass by real quick.
Hey thank you but that won't be necessary. She's really tired and cranky. Just trying to get her to rest.
Alright… please call if you need anything.
Thank you.
You frowned at your phone. You felt like something was off. The way she texted you. Perhaps Amy had really come up with something that worried her.
"Y/N."
You jumped, spinning around.
"Simon!"
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
"You are too sneaky sometimes…" you giggled.
"What's wrong. You were frowning…"
"Melissa… refused my help. She said Amy's too tired." You answered with a frown.
"Alright. Tell me why it worries you."
"Usually… She always needs help, or at least accepts it. It feels a bit off."
"Calm down darling, perhaps she's tired herself. Remember when you had to take care of Soap?"
You laughed a bit. Yes you did remember. He nuzzled you, holding you close. You heard the laughs, the yells and the conversations behind you. You felt at peace. Finally.
"Simon…"
He hummed in response.
"I love you. Thank you, for being part of my life." You whispered only for his ears.
"I love you too. Thank you, for building me a home."
You felt yourself fall even more for him. Yes. Home. This is what it felt like.
"Hey, love birds!" Soap called, gaining your attention.
"You got time to cuddle, come spend time with us!"
You chuckled again while Simon sighed. You still decided to join them. Night fell, you improvised dinner and then decided on another board game. You excused yourself to the kitchen after losing and surrendering. You were cleaning a bit around when someone walked in.
Simon stood, phone in hand, eyeing your body up and down. He tilted his head, making you chuckle. You felt warm just feeling his gaze over you. He tapped on his phone, throwing a few glances at you. You frowned but couldn't help but smile.
"What are you doing Simon?" You asked.
He stepped closer, tapping a bit more before turning the phone to you.
There, on a website, was written 'purchase confirmed.' . You looked at the article's eyes opening wide. Maid outfit, cat outfit, angel, devil and a cow one.
"Simon… what is this?" You blushed heavily.
He chuckled, dropping his phone, arms wrapping around you.
"Well. Turns out I found the receipt for the bunny suit. Searched for the name and they have a website."
He nuzzled in your neck. Your hands on his forearms, head falling back to give him access.
"Thought about buying more cute outfits I can fuck you in. Fuck… wear them around the house, cooking, watching TV, sleeping…"
You bit your lip at his words.
"Simon… you liked it that much?"
He had lifted his mask, now biting down on your neck, leaving cute little marks behind.
"I loved it. You look beautiful, adorable. I'd change your entire closet for cute pretty outfits if you'd wear them for me everyday."
"You're addicted sir…" you teased.
"It's my second order…" he whispered against your neck.
You wanted to scold him, say something, but he bit down on your neck, hard, making you whimper. He sucked a bit, making sure to leave a little mark. He chuckled at your little moans the way you turned to a whinny mess in his arms. He dropped a kiss to your lips before stepping back.
He was about to turn and walk away but no. Now you were horny. And you wanted him. You grabbed his t-shirt making him stop. He looked down at your hands, eyes amused. You stepped closer to him, softly pushing him back against the counter. He let you, enjoying your little show of dominance.
You looked up at him through your lashes, seeing him shake his head a bit, stretching his neck. He loved it. Your eyes on him. You let your hands caress his chest up and down. Tip toeing you kissed him softly, teasingly. His hands rose to your hips, pulling you flush against him. You separated, only a few inches from his lips. You let the tip of your tongue lick his lips teasing him.
"Fuck…" he cursed.
You chuckled, stepping back and starting to walk away. He quickly shut that down, grabbing your wrist and pulling you back to him. One hand on your lower back, the other lost in your hair, he kissed, tongues clashing. He groaned against you as you moaned to him.
This time you were the one backed against the counter. You wanted more. You could feel him, hard, against your stomach.
"Simon… please…" you whined.
"I love it when you're whinny like this." He provoked while you whined again against his lips. "Tell me what you want… use your words."
You bit your lip. You knew that if you wanted it, you had to say it. It was hard to understand why you currently felt like this. Like you were on fire. Like needing him right now was vital. You were wet already, from the little interaction.
"Please sir… fuck me.." you pleaded.
"Fuckin hell… bunny." He cursed again.
He kissed you once more before picking you up. He walked to the living room table putting you down next to it. Letting his hands roam your body made you feel like you were going insane. Yes. It really was odd. You had absolutely no patience for games. You reached for his belt unbuckling it. You heard him chuckle mockingly.
"Simon!" You whined, getting frustrated.
"Hey… hey." He frowned. "Look at me bunny."
You obeid, eyes pleading.
"What's wrong love… so impatient right now." He questionned.
"I… I don't know… but I need you so much… I feel like I'm burning…" you explained.
"Don't remember seeing you this needy, but by all means… I'm thrilled to help." He growled.
He spun you around, pushing you down on the table softly. A shiver ran down your spine. Your shorts and panties were quickly pulled down. His belt clicked again, this time as he pulled his cock out. His hand reached your folds, fingers coated in your juices.
"Fuck… baby, you're really wet for me." He groaned again.
He teased you, fingers grazing against your clit, making your hips buckle to meet his fingers. They traveled closer to your folds, slowly passing through, letting a finger slip in. You moaned, trying to push your hips back onto him. You knew he was pumping himself at the sight. You wiggled your hips taunting him.
He pulled his finger out, spanking your ass cheek as a punishment, making you yelp but giggle. He finally positioned himself at your entrance but didn't move.
"Darling. Are you sure? Not scared that someone could walk in?" He teased.
It hadn't even crossed your mind. You two were in the middle of the living room, fucking on the table, while all your friends were outside playing a board game. But your mind was screaming it. Your body ached for it.
"I'm going to let you decide Y/N." Your name made you shiver. His voice had such a power on you. "Whenever you want, you can lean back, and slip my cock inside you. I'll fuck you like you need it bunny. But you can stop too-"
You didn't wait for him to finish, your hazy mind lost. You let yourself fall back onto him, inching his hard cock inside.
"Ah fuck…"
You moaned at his curse. He was right, fuck it was amazing. You felt so full when your ass finally slammed against him. He immediately grabbed your hips, taking control. His pace was slow at first, taking enormous pleasure at torturing you. For your greatest pleasure, he quickly lost his own patience. His pace quickened, making the table shake.
You were trying really hard not to be too loud, but you weren't sure you were making a good job at it. He wrapped his arm over your stomach lifting you up. His palm rested on your lower stomach. Your feet had left the floor, but now it felt deeper, and he would hit that sweet little spot inside you. You felt overwhelmed. You wanted to cry.
Your orgasm built up so fast you couldn't see it coming.
"Simo.. si… gonna.." you tried.
"I know. Baby. Cum." He ordered.
You moaned loudly, trying to muffle it with your hands as you completely shattered around him. He refused to stop, pounding you, his other hand reaching for your sensitive bud.
"Si!" You whined loudly.
You felt your legs shake. You felt overstimulated, but your mind was a mush, and if he wanted to use right now, fuck you'd let him.
"Good girl… gonna give me another one..?" He asked against your ear.
You didn't know if you could, you felt the tears running down your cheeks. You wanted to. It burnt. You heard something, making you freeze.
"Hey. Hey. Focus on me." He ordered.
"But…si-"
"On my voice. Focus on my voice." He whispered against your ear. "Close your eyes. And focus on me."
You obeid, feeling him slow his pace, longer, deeper thrusts as he teased your clit softly.
"Good girl… such a good girl…" he praised, making you clench around him. "Fuck… you take me so well… you were made for me bunny." You cursed under your breath, you were really trying to keep it quiet but right now, it was overwhelming.
He was still lifting you up, but he pushed you higher on the table, letting you go. One arm remained around your waist, making sure to play with your clit, while the other reached for your jaw. His arm nestled between your breasts, his fingers teasing your lips. He was still slowly fucking you, making sure to pump himself almost out and then back in deep. You opened your mouth, two fingers slipping in.
"If you feel like it's too much… fuck… like you want to be loud… want to sing for me… suck on them."
You were slowly losing it. The pace, his hand around your jaws, fingers in your mouth, cock buried deep inside you, his voice… dripping honey to you.
"You feel so good… so tight. Will you cum for me again…?"
You sucked on his fingers, your hands wrapping around his wrist. You moaned, whined, whimpered, hoping he'd understand how much you needed it. You didn't need to say much. He knew it.
"Oh… fuuuck… Bunny. Do you want me to fill you up?"
Those words. It made your eyes roll back. The thought of it. Was it your hormones? What… who cared. You kept sucking and licking his fingers, drool falling down your chin, wetting his hand. You whined repeatedly, little 'please' 'beg you' 'cum inside me' falling like a curse from your lips. His hips slammed into your, meeting your begs and pleads. You felt your orgasm ready to crunch over you.
"Please… lieutenant…" you moaned, making him groan.
You could feel your peak right there, but held it back. Fuck you did everything to hold it back.
"Simon… fill me up…pleaaase…" you begged again, half teasing him, driving him insane and to his own edge.
His hand left your mouth, wrapping around your neck.
"Don't tease me Y/N." He warned.
"mmh yours…"
"Fuck.."
"I wannna be… filled up…"
"SHIIIIT."
"Make.. me… a mommy…"
You gasped as he made sure to fuck you roughly, the table rocking, whatever was on it falling to the ground. You gasped, your orgasm washing over you. His pace faltered as he spilled deep inside you. He remained deep, not moving for a little while.
Your mind was getting clearer and clearer. Your words were now echoing in your mind. You were panting. Simon's hands rested on either side of you, close to your head. You shifted slightly.
"Don't move."
His voice was dark..very. A chill ran down your spine. You could still feel him twitch inside you.
"Simon…"
He didn't answer. Your anxiety was starting to rise.
"Simon.. I'm.. I'm sorry… I don't know why I said that… sorry…" you didn't know exactly what to say. You didn't know what came over you. You had never talked about it. Children.
"Simon.." now you felt like you'd cry.
One of his hands rose, caressing your hair, your cheek. He dropped down kissing your cheek. You turned to him and he captured your lips into a deep kiss. You moaned again to him before he separated.
"It's alright… it's ok. We were lost in the moment. I'm not mad, I promise." He comforted you.
He straightened up, slowly slipping out of you. He grabbed the napkins on the table, just to make sure his cum wouldn't drip on the floor. You sighed, closing your eyes as you scolded yourself.
He made sure to clean you up, softly before dressing you up again. He turned you around, lifting you up to make you sit on the table. You were embarrassed to look at him. You bit your lip.
"Bunny. Look at me."
You closed your eyes, biting harder on your lip.
"Bunny. Eyes on me. Won't say it again."
You opened your eyes slowly, looking up at him. His thumb reached your lips, freeing it from the torture you were inflicting on it.
"I'm not mad… fuck. I reacted to it. You felt it."
You nodded a bit. Yes you did. He had lost it and gave you exactly what you needed.
"Just didn't expect that… I'm not going to pretend I don't… go insane at the thought of it."
You frowned a bit. Trying to understand.
"Breeding you." He let out.
You blinked before blushing heavily. It made him chuckle.
"But I think. We should talk about things beforehand." He finished.
You took a deep breath, steadying your heart and your voice.
"You're right. I don't know what came over me… think… I wanted to tease you, because I know you like it, I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing Y/N. That was so fucking hot."
He captured your lips again, your legs wrapping around his waist.
"Guys!"
You jumped, Simon's head snapping towards the sound.
"We talked about this! Not on the table!" Gaz scolded while Richard stood next to him, munching on chips and shaking his head.
God… if he knew. It was too late for that. And you felt Simon ready to drop the bomb but you cut him off.
"Sorry. We'll behave." You let out quickly.
"Yeah yeah sure. The girls are leaving, come say bye." He said before walking out with Richard.
You looked at Simon before laughing a bit. He joined you in your laugh, his forehead on yours.
"Come on. Let's say bye." You said pushing him away so you could jump down.
"Yeah. I'll drag you to my bed after. Teach you not to tease me."
It's been two days. Two days. You were sitting at the table, this time in the living room. You had been worried about Amy and Melissa but Kate had told you she received an email from Melissa asking for a few days off to take care of the child. It made you feel a bit better.
Now you sat, with Margo and Kate, the weather outside had turned to a pour down.
"I can't believe I said that…" you repeated, hiding your face, ashamed.
"Listen, it's ok. Sometimes it happens, you get wild during sex and some things slip out." Kate reassured.
"Yeah hormones, us women it happens, and it depends on the kinks." Margo added, munching on snacks.
"Yes… but I don't know. He's been a bit distant since then. It feels weird." You said honestly.
"And obviously, you haven't talked about it with him." Margo guessed.
"No.. I've been feeling embarrassed and… I'm a bit anxious that he's angry at me." You frowned.
Kate laughed a bit while Margo shook her head.
"Well if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see my child and my man." Margo said, standing up.
You decided to go to the kitchen too, letting Kate join the rest of the group. A little competition had started on the switch.
You were looking for something when Tyler came running to you.
"Y/N!"
"Oh, yes honey?" You asked.
"I need help!" He rushed.
You frowned but he grabbed your hand. You followed him, past the group and into the hallway. He walked you closer to a closet and stopped in front. It was the entrance closet where people would hang their coats.
"Can you hide in there please?"
"What?" You frowned.
"Please!" He added, jumping up and down.
"Alright, fine!" You answered with a little smile.
You walked into the closet, closing the door inside. You sighed, crossing your arms and leaning against the wall.
You heard voices and footsteps before the door swung open. You jumped. Simon frowned looking at you. Soap stood behind him, pushing him instead in a shove. Simon fell forward, bracing himself against the wall behind you to avoid crushing you.
The door was slammed before the key was heard.
"Johnny!" You yelled.
"We'll let you out when you're done having a talk!" He answered through the door.
Through the darkness you felt his body close to you, the heat contrasting with the coldness of the wall, making you shiver.
Your hands had found his chest, his face buried in your neck.
"Simon…" you called softly.
"Yes darling ?"
"Are you mad at me…?" You asked.
"What? No. What makes you think that?" His voice sounded slightly alarmed.
"You've been a bit cold…I… I don't know…"
He sighed. So you were right. He had been.
"I'm sorry love. It wasn't my intention. Really. I just been in my head." He started. "The whole thing made me think about my own father…"
"You don't have to say anything Simon. If you're not comfortable."
"It's alright. I will tell you. Maybe not right now but I will. The thing is… I'm scared I won't be a good father. So the whole question is complicated."
"It's alright… I don't even know myself if I want to have kids… we don't have to talk about it now." You tried.
"I'm not mad. I promise baby. I'm sorry I've been cold. It's not your fault."
You felt him wrap his arms around you, kissing your cheeks through the mask. You hugged him back, lifting his mask to kiss him. His tongue tasted so good to you. His body flushed against you, his hands traveling up and down your body. The little groan he'd let out as you bit his lip. You felt warm. Horny. You stepped back a bit.
"What's wrong darling?" He asked.
"I'm… sorry. I just felt this wave of… warm" you tried to explain.
"Warm? You're horny?"
You whined.
"Yes… I'm sorry… I don't know what's gotten into me lately."
He chuckled, pulling you back to him.
"Bunny, you don't have to apologize, you make me horny all the fucking time. You just have to ask. Really. I'll be more than happy to oblige…" he groaned.
His lips met your neck as you let your head fall back. Yes you wanted him again… you needed him.
"Simon… please…" you moaned.
"It's ok baby. Let me take care of you."

Calling all non-traumagenic systems!
We’re a traumagenic system, osdd-1b diagnosed, and we put together a survey for non-traumagenic systems to see perhaps if there is a correlation between neurodivergence and non-traumagenic plurality! We did this because it seems no one else has, and this information might be useful for non-traumagenic plurals!
The survey link is here: https://forms.gle/DGYc3mXYrL87wrcJA
All responses will be anonymous. You are more than welcome to copy the link and share it around! You will have the opportunity to view the survey results after your responses have been recorded.
Mixed origins systems and traumagenic systems with non-traumagenic headmates are welcome to take part! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns!
We would appreciate the boost if you want to help us get this survey to as many plurals as possible. Thank you so much!
- Margo and Kip
Edit: After reviewing some responses (and a few other headmates chiming in) we’ve made a few changes to the survey! Here are the updates:
- Changed the language of the survey from “mental illness” to “neurodivergence,” which might better reflect the experiences of non-traumagenic plurals.
- Added a few options to some questions.
- Changed a few questions from “multiple choice” to “checkboxes” so you can select more than one option.
Edit 2: We have decided to keep this survey open until Wednesday, May 25 at 10:00 AM EST! This will leave the survey open for a little over a week. Once the survey is closed, we will compile the results in a post that will be shared here!
Because results are anonymous, we cannot tag anyone who wants to see the completed results. Please either follow us or our userboxes account @plural-userboxes if you would like to see the results (they will be posted in both places) or check back with our account on the afternoon of the 25th!
Thank you so much for the feedback so far! We truly appreciate every response! ^^

ppl who said Ryan was "too old" are about to be proved wrong by that box office $$$$$ he's about to rake in. he's hilarious and perfect for this role. and also gorgeous??? A TRUE BEAUTY KEN. "I saw a ken face down in the mud and texted Greta a pic with I must tell this man's tale" xD
also there's never a person (until RECENTLY) saying the female actors aren't cast old enough (I'm not taking about Margo). The viral moment a little while ago was when Emmy Rossum was cast as Tom Holland's mom (and it's only because it's Tom hype it was noticed, I love him but still this has been happening since cinema has existed) she's only ten years older than him. That just happened in a Jessica Chastain movie like two years ago and no one said anything. My neices were watching a utube soap and I kid you not the "mom" was the SAME AGE. It's every movie; every show. I'm so happy Halle was cast as Ariel - appropriate age!!!
I understand productions cast older teens/young adults rather than kids because then they can cut corners with union rights/demands like kids needing more breaks and parents on sets and like... basic human decency. also shows like R!verdale have teens sleeping together every weeek and sexy shots yada yada that actual teens WOULD NOT be permitted to do in filming (thank god they have intimacy coordinators now FINALLY). I forget who pointed it out, but you never see a news woman with grey hair. On a man it's distinguished on a woman it's ugly or she's a crone. I'll watch movies where they cast a 30 something woman and make her 50 by graying her hair. Like wtf?
Anytime I'm watching a high school scene with a friend I say "none of those people are high schoolers".
I'm an actor who's repeatedly told I AM LUCKY MY FACE LOOKS YOUNGER THAN I AM. This is going to last me about what 3 years? 2? I was just basically let go from a gig because FB feedback on photos were I looked "too old" for a character and it was because our boss was casting TEENAGERS illegally so yeah, of course I'm going to look about 80 years old (at 31) next to a 13 year old. She said "we're going to cast you as older roles" yeah we NEVER get requests for those. I wonder why.
Okay, sorry for the rant... These reasons are why I'm so happy for Ryan. Prove the haters wrong and hopefully more light is shed on this too old/too young/ageism issue as a whole.
Perfect moments and the movie hasn't even come out:
THE JUST KEN SONG I DIDN'T KNOW WOULD HAPPEN JUST DROPPED?!
He thought of the KEN underwear!!
he's not afraid to poke fun at himself, wear pink a whole movie and funny outfits and dye his hair - so many "action movie" macho men actors would NEVER. this is the same guy from Blade Runner, Drive, The Gray Man (lol for their shoutout to his Ken)
the tassel shaking, "I'll need clicky pen", the changing scenery and outfits montage, rock paper scissors, crossing his fingers when he asks barbie if he can come over xD EVERY MOMENT IS PERFECT.
yeah, sadly ageism is always gonna be a thing with hollywood and especially for women.
i don’t care how old ryan is, he is PERFECT in this role and that’s just judging from the few clips and trailers released. i love seeing all the early reviews saying this will be the role he is remembered for and he steals every scene he’s in 👏👏👏 i’m so excited to see the movie, especially for ryan !!!

THE THROBBING MEMBERS REVIEW: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
Love it when a boy is doomed to be King. -Catherine
Put #1 Madoc fangirl on my gravestone. -Sarah
If I could go back in time to middle school, I wouldn't give myself any hints or information about the future, but I would tell myself to read this book. Even though it wasn't out yet. -Margo
I didn't think I liked this book and then I IMMEDIATELY read all of the sequels. -Lily
Dream Cast
Jude
Cardan
Theme Song: Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift
Summary: Spirited away to the world of Faerie after the murder of her parents, Jude learns how to adapt herself to survive, shedding kindness for cunning and empathy for ruthlessness. Her greatest tormentor is also her greatest teacher -- Prince Cardan, the youngest and cruelest son of the High King, who rips wings off of subjects and promises Jude a grim future should she not submit.
Yet not everything is as it seems. Just as Jude is about to prove herself as worthy of her place, a coup disrupts the High Court, forcing new alignments. Now Jude's ambitions rest in the safekeeping of her enemy...
And she can use that to her advantage.
Review:
I can't be objective about this book. After the horror that was A Court of Thorns and Roses I never wanted to read a book about fairy romance again. I could have died never having to hear the words "dark and mysterious and cruel" ever again and been HAPPY.
Thank God I decided to ignore those emotions and give this book a chance.
What to say that hasn't already been said? I could be clever and analytical, waxing poetic about the reversal of gender dynamics between Jude (power-hungry and desperate to better herself through strength and violence) and Cardan (babygirl helpless with a sword but cunning and insightful, able to endear himself to his kidnappers with his bratty wiles). I could talk about the cycle of abuse and how it affected Jude and Cardan differently, or the wickedly brilliant manner in which Holly Black approached Madoc (he may show up to your fencing tournament covered in blood but he will show up). Or how just like all the best books about the fair folk, they are beautiful and frightening and irreverent of gender norms -- queer and rich in a way most boring heteronormative dark YA novels are not.
But what I will say instead is this:
Thank you Holly Black for restoring my faith in YA fantasy novels about morally grey fruity cunty characters. I read this book within a 24 hour fever dream, cackling and drinking wine and experiencing a high I have not felt since I was in middle school. You're a real one.
-Smurf
10/10* stars
*I cannot be objective about this book so while this rating is not by unanimous consensus, everyone rated this book extremely highly
Additional Ratings
Hot Dad: 10/10
Madoc may be a murderer but he is such a supportive dad -- the opposite of left baby. No notes. (Honestly we forgot we were supposed to hate him)
Lore about the fair folk: 8/10
Loved the vibes, but could have done without the over-explanation of how fairies don't have periods.
Notes: Cardan is babygirl.

Cocaine Bear
Director: Elizabeth Banks
Starring: Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Alden Ehrenreich, Margo Martindale, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Aaron Holliday
Release Date: February 24, 2023
My Rating: 8/10 (great for what it’s supposed to be)
My Review (NO SPOILERS (except for if any animals die)):
This movie was just fun. Whatever you think Cocain Bear is going to be like? That’s it. A gory thrillride. Like Jaws, but without the heavy drama and also it’s on land. If you’re like me, you actually might find yourself cheering for the bear.
For me, personally, it was a little too gory. But I’m also just pretty squeamish when it comes to that kind of stuff so maybe don’t take my word for it? But there’s a lot of blood, brain matter, and severed limbs.
I loved that it was set in the mid 80s. That made for great fashion and great music. The entire cast was great - even the kids were hilarious. If anything, I wish there was a bit more plot because the characters were pretty interesting and the actors were all so great. But it’s a man versus bear movie, and so that doesn’t leave a ton of room for exposition nor does it need it.
No animals die - THANK GOD. I wouldn’t have been able to handle any of the animals dying, and thankfully none of them do. Not only was I was rooting for the bear, but she was also very cute and I just kind of wanted to cuddle her.
If you saw the preview and thought “that looks kinda fun”. It is. Go see it. It’s jsut what you’re expecting and it’s fun fun fun.

Rating: 4.5/5
Book Blurb: A delicious story from a new voice in suspense, Lev AC Rosen's Lavender House is Knives Out with a queer historical twist.
Lavender House, 1952: the family seat of recently deceased matriarch Irene Lamontaine, head of the famous Lamontaine soap empire. Irene’s recipes for her signature scents are a well guarded secret—but it's not the only one behind these gates. This estate offers a unique freedom, where none of the residents or staff hide who they are. But to keep their secret, they've needed to keep others out. And now they're worried they're keeping a murderer in.
Irene’s widow hires Evander Mills to uncover the truth behind her mysterious death. Andy, recently fired from the San Francisco police after being caught in a raid on a gay bar, is happy to accept—his calendar is wide open. And his secret is the kind of secret the Lamontaines understand.
Andy had never imagined a world like Lavender House. He's seduced by the safety and freedom found behind its gates, where a queer family lives honestly and openly. But that honesty doesn't extend to everything, and he quickly finds himself a pawn in a family game of old money, subterfuge, and jealousy—and Irene’s death is only the beginning.
When your existence is a crime, everything you do is criminal, and the gates of Lavender House can’t lock out the real world forever. Running a soap empire can be a dirty business.
Review:
A queer Knives Out set in the 1950s? SIGN ME UP. The story follows Evander Mills, a investigator who was recently fired from the force when it was uncovered that he was gay. One day while he is at a bar he is offered a job from the mysterious Pearl, the widow to the recently deceased matriarch Irene Lamontaine, head of the famous Lamontaine soap empire. Pearl wants Evander “Andy” to investigate Irene’s death and figure out whether it was a natural cause like some believe or if there was foul play involved as Pearl believes. Pearl specifically wants to hire Andy because she knows his secret... and he would be the perfect person to investigate Lavender House... home to a family of queer individuals who have all been living in freedom and safety from the world outside. Andy is getting to chance to experience the lavish wealth that Lavender house has to offer as well as the complicated family dynamics, secrets, and the fact that one of these individuals might be a killer. Despite how polished and clean they all seem.... something is definitely going on and it’ll be up to Andy to figure it out before its too late. This was a fantastic mystery read, I loved the way you get to see Andy navigate this difficult time and see him come more into himself and find freedom in his queerness. I also enjoyed the family dynamic in Lavender house, all the characters were fun to get to know, especially Elsie and Margo. The way the book ends makes me hope that there might be a full series set in this world kind of like Knives Out. It truly was a fun read and I definitely would recommend it for mystery lovers!
*Thanks Netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Forge Books for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Angry Animal Watch: Cocaine Bear (2023)
Watched: 05/12/2023
Format: Peacock
Viewing: First
Director: Elizabeth Banks
EDIT: After posting, I was reminded that Banks also directed "Pitch Perfect 2" and "Charlie's Angels". I want to thank the commenter here and on signal-watch.com who mentioned this. Also, a big reminder to check IMDB before I hit publish.
Sometimes a movie is exactly what you thought it was going to be, but is also what what you were *hoping* it would be, while also being *better* than what you expected. It's a peculiar equation, but in the middle of this particular triangle of expectation vs. reality, we find Cocaine Bear (2023).
Now, Cocaine Bear is not for everyone. I read a few reviews that were quite cross about "nothing happens, it's just a bunch of sequences". And, sort of. But, also, that's exactly the point. This is a movie about the joy of a rampaging bear fucking people up. And, frankly, if you think the *many, many* movies about people getting picked off one-by-one are deep character work with the bear/ shark/ what-have-you as merely a framework, I have some property to sell you in Arizona. A few are, 90% of them are filling time. Elizabeth Banks, here in her first feature directorial effort, utterly understands the assignment.
Banks cuts out any character development to the "bare" minimum. The bear is not a metaphor. It is not retribution. It is not even a force of nature, for in nature, bears do not do massive amounts of coke. While technically "man vs. nature" is our conflict, nature has consumed massive quantities of cocaine.
We are not here to learn anything. We're not going to pretend there's a story of human ingenuity or the human spirit. We're going to observe people get killed in hilariously horrible ways by a bear, starting from minute one and ending in minute 90. And we're going to like it.
Cocaine Bear is clearly a rated-R horror comedy, and indulges in a gleeful nihilism as the mission rather than pretending it's doing something else. No one's morals or innocence are going to protect them from a bear hopped up on goofballs. So, be prepared for chaos in a world with no real meaning.
The plot is based on two things that really happened. IRL, a known drug dealer was found dead in someone's yard with an un-popped parachute and loaded down with 70 lbs of cocaine. The plane crashed in North Carolina, but drugs seem to have fallen from the plane into Georgia, where a 175 lb bear got into them and was found dead from partying too hard. No hikers, naturalists, rangers, punks or anyone else was eaten by a bear.The movie knows this is an anecdote, not a story. And, in the time-honored tradition of cinema, asks "what if?"
Banks, who has been a thing in Hollywood since at least 2002's Spider-Man (she made a smashing Betty Brant, and I'm sorry she was so underutilized in that franchise), is able to get some interesting casting. I assume she just said "I'm Elizabeth Banks and I'm making a movie" and that was a selling point for much of the cast.*
Sure, it's weird that this is Ray Liotta's second-to-final picture (he's also in the just-released Fool's Paradise). But the film has Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Margo Martindale, Alden Ehrenreich, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson, Jr. That's kinda nuts for a movie about a rampaging bear.
There's a lot of remarkably good visual humor in this thing - if you can stand fake bear maulings - from tree-based jokes to ambulances in trouble. But character stuff, too, like the mini-arc of the detective disappointed in the dog the ASPCA has given him. One of the funniest gags of the movie - to me - is that a kid (a friend of Russel's daughter) acts shockingly like a real kid in the midst of all the chaos.
Anyway - quality work. A perfect Friday-night watch. Two paws up. Way up.
*whenever Banks gets interviewed, she's very sharp. I suspect getting into directing could be a great move for her.

The Mosley Review: Cocaine Bear
Films like these only have 2 options when executing the true life story. Option 1: The film can keep the 80's setting and play out like a true horror film that is dark, brutal and somewhat funny. Option 2: The film could keep that fun 80's style and go for the ridiculous nature of the story that is so tongue and cheek that it borders on parody while still somehow delivering a fun and somewhat heartfelt story. Well this film tried to take both of those options and slam them together into a cohesive and sometimes mildly funny and bloody horror comedy. Honestly, I don't even know if the director had any idea what type of film they want it to be. The tone was all over the place and the character dynamics don't really have any relevance to the majority of the plot or lack there of. This could've been a fun, brutal and thrilling twist on the real story, but it lacked any sense of empathy or parody that even the actors say for maybe a couple, knew what type of film they were in.
Keri Russell was good in the film as a single mother nurse Sari. I liked that she did a decent job at being brave and determined to find her daughter. Brooklynn Prince was great as her daughter Dee Dee and I loved her playful and genuine excitement to go on an adventure in the woods. Christian Convery was great and hilarious as her bestfriend Henry. I would've loved if the film was all about them surviving in the woods as the bear hunts them down and Sari was trying to find them. O'Shea Jackson Jr. as Daveed was good as he plays the typcial thug sent alongside Alden Ehrenreich's overly emotional character Eddie. The two of them worked really well together, but felt like they were in a different film all together. The legendary Ray Liotta was perfect casting as their crime boss Syd. Ray can be in the most terrible film known to man and he will always deliver and he did that in this film. Margo Martindale is always a joy to see on screen and as Ranger Liz, she was delightful.
The score by Mark Mothersbaugh was decent as the gore started to splash the screen, but after that it was just background noise. The film was stunning to look at and the visual effects used to bring the bear to life were good. This film truly had no idea what it wanted to be. I can't rightfully say that I wasn't amused at some moments, but all of the best moments were actually in the trailer and the trailer delivered the tone of what the film should've been! Honestly, this was just a mess of film that I can't rightfully recommend it even if you're drunk. If you liked the movie or my review of the film, let me know in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Paper Towns
I always forget about this book, it wasn’t very memorable to me for some reason. I chose it for my 2nd independent novel for English but after I read it I ended up choosing a different book. This has a movie adaptation that I never watched because I didn’t like how they portrayed Margo in the little movie thumbnail(shown below). It seemed too Disney edgy type which didn’t suit her.
Margo was wild, and yes technically “edgy” but I really doubt she would look like that. I Imagined her as a slightly chubby, short curly haired girl. I don’t remember exactly how the book described her so my interpretation might be different.
I read this over fall break when I was visiting my mom’s house, so way before we even started the assignment. That probably contributed to it being unmemorable. It’s a cute story and I don’t think it’s a waste of time to read, it just wasn’t eye opening to me.
I give this a 7/10, it’s definitely better for younger kids and it was entertaining, just not all that. Sorry this one was short, I read this so long ago I only know basic details, I probably couldn’t give you a better review then though.
Thanks for reading :))

MWSA: How long have you been associated with MWSA?
Since April 2023
MWSA: Why did you choose to write a World War II maritime thriller?
Strangely, the inspiration for the novel was a dream. When my daughter Allison was young, we watched a really bad action-adventure film together–I don’t remember which one–and I kept telling myself I could write a better screenplay. That night I had a dream and when I woke up, I knew the first scene and the last scene and the name of the ship Peggy C. That was all. So, like Michelangelo used to say, I knew there was a figure in that block of stone – in my case, a story -- and all I had to do was spend years trying to chisel it free.
MWSA: Do you have any experience on ships?
I’ve never been on a tramp steamer or a U-boat, and I have no naval background. That meant I had to do a lot more research. But I also love classic naval novels like "Sea Wolf" and "Lord Jim" (but not "Moby Dick") because they combine adventure, exotic locations and fascinating characters.
MWSA: Since you had no naval experience, what was your research process like?
Books, books, books, documentaries, and endless web searches on such sites as www.uboat.net. Thank goodness for e-books that allowed me to take lots of notes quickly. I watched "Das Boot" years ago but didn’t review it recently because I wanted to avoid copying scenes from it. One research problem was finding myself going down rabbit holes for hours in pursuit of one more interesting fact, leading to yet more searches. I also use footnotes to go back and verify everything. My book involves a lot of nautical and technical details as well as obscure historical facts, so I had to be extra careful.
For example, in my relentless pursuit for accuracy, I found a website that had the daily logs of all U-boats that let me accurately report the phases of the moon on each day of the Peggy C’s journey. I had the novel fact-checked by a Ph.D. student at The Department of War Studies at King’s College London, and a novelist who was a former U.S. Navy petty officer who served on a submarine.
MWSA: Are the characters in your novel based on real historical figures?
The commander of the U-boat, Oberleutnant Viktor Brauer, is an amalgamation of several real U-boat captains. I cherry-picked the worst characteristics and actions of those captains, of course, but also tried to make Brauer more human and not a cliché Nazi. Captain Jake Rogers, our hero, is largely my creation, but some of his backstory comes from the lives of James Fenimore Cooper and my father. The other characters are my creations.
MWSA: Who is your favorite character?
Miriam, the eldest daughter of the Jewish family being rescued, is my favorite character. She’s much more than just a love interest. She’s smart, tough, and compassionate, and constantly challenges Captain Jake Rogers to change his mercenary ways. Her strength turns out to be the key to everyone’s survival, giving the lie to the myth that Jews never fought back.I'd like to add another question & answer
MWSA: You've had lots of experience as a journalist. Did that play a role in your writing?
The funny thing is that I became a journalist because I wanted to be a novelist. But I realized at the time I didn’t know how to write. Plus, I had no exciting experiences to write about. Journalism seemed like the best way to remedy those deficiencies. I loved that career but the newspaper industry collapsed. When I retired for the first time, I decided that I was going to learn how to write screenplays because I still didn’t feel confident that I could write a novel. The Peggy C was my first screenplay. I actually had some luck getting it into big production companies in Hollywood to pitch it. It won an award and accolades on such sites as The Black List, but nobody bought it. When I was stuck at home during the pandemic, I decided it was time to try my hand at turning it into a novel.I'd like to add another question & answer
MWSA: Did you hide any surprises in it for true history buffs?
It is loaded with historical details that truly surprised me – and I have read a ton of World War II histories and biographies. Here's just one that plays a key role in my plot. BAM-100 was a big surprise. Turns out that one of the reasons the English won the Battle of Britain, besides the bravery of the crews and the quality of the planes, was the fuel known as British Air Ministry 100 octane. It was developed by Standard Oil after Dunkirk and allowed British planes to fly faster and climb quicker than German planes. It took a while for the surprised Nazis to figure out what had changed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Their planes ran on fuel from coal gasification, which could only reach 80 octane.
MWSA: You adapted the novel from a screenplay. What challenges did that present?
A screenplay is more like a haiku. It only contains what the viewer can see and hear. There is no interior monologue, no insight into behaviors, and no background information. That meant I had to flesh out the characters and their backstories. I also had to go into great detail about the operations of the ship and the U-boat and the duties of their crews. Each location had to be described not just by sight and sound but by smell and feelings, and history.

Book Review for Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts
Initially a tad off putting and very slow to find its rhythm, Kristyn J. Miller’s debut novel Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts finishes strong as it weaves a cautionary tale of how too many rules protecting us, can also act as the weights that sink us.
Meet Margo (Go for short) of the dynamic duo Jo and Go from the Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts – a podcast by single women, for single women who want to stay that way. At least, that was the plan until Margo discovers that her partner in crime has found the love of her life and is getting married! Now Margo’s world (and financial future) has been turned upside down. Their audience is not happy, their sponsors are dropping, and Margo is fresh out of ideas. With Season Seven coming up and Jo’s impending nuptials only two weeks away, Margo decides to go nuclear. She is going to break all seven rules and prove why they are necessary for those who are now questioning the validity of the show. The problem is, Margo needs a guinea pig. Stuck on an island, her choices are limited. Solution? She sets her intentions on the groom’s best man and conveniently – her former childhood nemesis. Not only will she get the content she needs for the show, she’ll finally get a little payback for the nightmares he caused her in high school. Staying true to her commitment to being single, she isn’t worried about catching feelings or wanting a relationship. All that matters is she gets what’s needed for the show. She just has to keep telling herself that as her heart starts to get other ideas.
Once the author was able to step away from the scenery and hone in on the characters, Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts was a lighthearted, fun, and swoon-worthy treat.

Paperbacks vs E-books
As a longtime reader, I can honestly say I absolute LOVE books. I love browsing at the bookstore or the library, I love getting emails showing the new books coming out each season, and I especially love getting a new book, opening the cover, and smelling the fresh scent of print on paper. Although I’ve never been a huge fan of hard copies (they are usually too big/heavy for me to carry around in my purse), I certainly don’t turn them away if they’re ones I’m interested in reading. Lately, however, I’ve been reading more and more books on my iPad (using the Kindle app) and I have to say, there are definitely some advantages. For one, I can read into the night as late as I want and I don’t have to keep the bedside light on or mess with those little book lights (they are usually never bright enough for me and I have to adjust them to follow the page). I can also have multiple books queued up in the app for when I’m traveling, or even if I want to bring something to read to an appointment where I might have to wait (think BMV or hairdresser). On the other hand, when it’s late at night and I’ve stayed up waaaay too late reading, I promise you that a paperback (possibly even a hardcover) is a much softer thud on your face than the metal ipad. I think the last time I fell asleep reading my ipad, I almost broke my glasses! Anyway, below are the two new release paperbacks I just finished, along with a little something spooky for the fall season – enjoy!

The Guilty Couple by C. L. Taylor
Olivia has spent the last five years in prison after being convicted of attempting to kill her husband. During that time, the three things on her mind were how she was going to reunite with her daughter (now 12 years-old), how she would clear her name, and maybe, just maybe, a little on how to get back at her husband for framing her. Although the man she was having an affair with before she was sent to prison has long ghosted her, Olivia still has her very close friends who have stood by her side through this whole ordeal---and now she’s going to count on them even more. I liked this book; it moved quickly, relatable characters, and definitely some suspense. Unfortunately, as I reflect on the book, I see there were a number of holes---places in the story that I would’ve liked a little more detail. And even worse, I was left with some of my questions just unanswered, so that made the payoff a little…well…a little less. It was still an interesting book and I’d likely read more by this author, but it’s going to be a middle-of-the-road type of review this time.

When She Disappeared by Steph Mullin & Nicole Mabry
When Margo was a senior in high school, her best friend, the very popular Jessie, went missing. Now, some 15yrs later, Margo has returned to her hometown to help her dad after surgery and the timing couldn’t be better (or worse?), because Jessie’s body has just been found at the bottom of the swimming hole where the HS seniors have always hung out. Now that everyone knows Jessie was killed (and didn’t just run off like many thought), the true-crime documentary series, Into Thin Air, is reviewing the case, and Margo is doing her part to help out. But as the story progresses, secrets from Jessie’s inner circle are uncovered, and Margo realizes she wasn’t as close to Jessie as she might’ve thought. I zipped through this book; easy to read, relatable characters, and a suspenseful pace. I’m not sure how much I liked the ending---in retrospect, I’m liking it more----and I think it’s definitely worth the read!

The House On The Lake by Holly Hill Mangin
Eve wakes up, unsure of where she is or how she got there, but the more she talks to the innkeepers, the more she realizes she must be on the retreat she was planning to research before seeing if her twin sister wanted to join her for a week. When Eve’s twin, Lyn, shows up and can’t recall how she got there either, instead of being surprised or overly concerned, Eve just assumes Lyn knows more than she’s saying so she tries not to worry too much about how she got to this very strange house, and instead focuses on the fact that she’s been given free rein to “snoop” wherever she wants on the property. There’s a lot more to the storyline, and although it started off a little on the “spooky” side, I definitely don’t consider this to be a horror book. A mystery? Yes, sure. It’s a short read (took me about 4 hours?) and even though I still don’t think everything was explained away perfectly, I don’t think this means it was an unsuccessful story. To the contrary: I’m glad I read it and hope it finds an audience who will appreciate some of Eve’s “interpretations.”
