the lonesome lows don't quite go away overnight

I challenged myself and it worked! After mulling over this idea for about three weeks, here's

I've turned down every hand that has beckoned me to come (We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson, Constance Blacwood/Merrikat Blackwood, content notes for dub con/non con) 

I finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle last night (MUCH SQUEE, much WTAF at Letham's outro - YOU SIR are dragging hoses and dirt into this house) and had a bout of anxiety-related insomnia (oh dread, I see ya there) so checked out AO3 because I recalled that I'd spied some fic when I'd done my initial look for anything related to Hangsaman (spoiler: there is none as of yet) and to my HORROR discovered that at least 50% of the fic is either Charles-centric or CHARLES/READER DUB CON. 

Is there a place I can sign a petition for Sebastian Stan to never be in a fandom I'm in? He's perfectly fine, but... GOD. 

(I do want all of the Merricat/Constance, though. Pretty please?)

(I want to say like, no offense if you're into that, but... I do not know if I can say that.)

Very excited for both the next round of seasonsofdrabbles and the upcoming rarefemslashexchange. I'll be spending the next few weeks mining my fandoms for potential noms.

femslashex has authors revealed! (reminder to self, do not post this until you confirm this fact!) I'm very excited about what I wrote.

Here's to the Downfall of Good Times (Kevin Can F*** Himself, Allison/Patty) for Netgirl_y2k

The power goes out and Kevin builds a pillow fort. Allison is sent next door for more building materials.

What birds have vanished one by one (Shirley (2020), Rose/Shirley) for fiachairecht

Forest. Blood. Fucking. Forest. Blood.

I received two rare ships in rare fandoms! 

the blood between me and you (The Wilds, Dot/Shelby) by SadieFlood

Words Pressing Like Fingers At The Inside of My Mouth (The Nevers, Harriet/Desiree) by Tamoline

I also enjoyed the Strange Empire fic, as well as kimaracretak's own Shirley/Rose. I think that rounds out the fandoms I'm familiar enough with, though I may have missed something!

And a bit of chatter about writing!
