It Goes Without Saying That I Just Added All Of This In My Reading List - Blog Posts

I just have to reblog this again on my main account. I’ve scrolled up to the very first thread, read all the shared words and appreciation, and I crumbled. I’ve never seen quite a fandom like this. It’s simply beautiful and I just feel happy to be here.

i debated for the longest time whether or not i'd do this. it's been a time. i've not created for fandom in what feels like ages and am truly going through the motions over my place here but, no matter what, there are people whose talent, wisdom, kindness and friendship keep my days bright and my spirits high.

so here's a (very incomplete, i started with ten fics and it just kept growing) shamelessly biased rec list. i picked one fic per category only but the way i see it, this is one author per category, to celebrate the many different ways we all write love. (also yes i included myself bc of self love or some shite idk)

lovely creators and friends, consider this the giant bouquet of flowers i bought you, the breakfast i brought you to bed, the teddy bear i won you at the fair, the chocolate covered strawberries i got sent to your work, the card i left in your locker, the velvet boxed jewellery you found under your pillow, the sloppy drunken fingering i gave you in the club loos, the song i requested the local radio station to play, the perfumed lipstick-printed love letter my raven left on your bed, etc etc (which is to say, whatever your preferred valentine's day activity is, i don't actually celebrate). thank you for inspiring me every day, so often in ways you don't even realise.
