hey hi hello!

i’d say I didn’t die, but I kind of almost did? surgery sucked, I ended up being admitted overnight and dealing with the drs office was a disaster.

then I went back to the hospital last week and turned out I had sepsis, acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, hydronephrosis, a staph infection, AND e. coli.

I thought I had the flu. nope. just like one day away from complete organ failure if I had waited ☺️

i’m home, getting better but I still have a damn tube in my back that’ll hopefully get removed tomorrow!

so boo to all of that but hooray for not joining the 27 club?

So What Now?

Chapter 20 - Am I Scaring You Yet? (Sam's POV)

I know I have said this one too many times, but grab your tissues.

Summary:

After a public betrayal threatens everything they’ve built, Sam takes Mon home to grieve, rage, and reclaim what’s still theirs. The days after are chaotic—cake, dog adoption, and an unexpected magazine feature that says too much and not enough. Somewhere in the mess, they decide to keep going anyway.

So What Now?

I have not abandoned anyone! I swear! I ended up in the hospital three times last week bc of kidney stones (not the first time mind you 😫). I had to have minor surgery and will have to have another surgery in the next week or so.

HOWEVER! Do not fear! the A03 curse shall not win!

I am working on the next chapter as we speak. I don’t know the exact date it’ll be out, but I know it’s this week!

there is also a little surprise in the chapter for y’all that I hope you’ll like!!

thank you for being so patient!

OML! You are on Tumblr! I stumbled onto your “So What Now?" fic; read the whole 19 chapters in one sitting, like I could not put my phone away as I read it. It's brilliantly written, and I cannot wait when Kirk and Grandmother get what's coming to them.

aaaaahhhhh! you are so nice!! i’m so glad you like it!!

kirk and grandmother are so not ready for what’s coming to them, and I cannot wait to share the next chapter with y’all (it’s gonna be juicyyyyyyy!) 🥰🥰

I am apologizing now because:

1. it was the last few weeks of class so I was busy there.

2. I had a bad fibro and pots flare up

3. shit with my grandpas estate has come up

4. I have cried several times during the first part of the next chapter

5. work also wants to kill me

So What Now?

Chapter 19 - My Wet Dream Is Your Face On A Missing Poster (Mon's POV)

I don't know what to tell y'all. This one hurted my brain so much.

Summary:

Mon and Sam are caught in a media and legal war, forced to protect their relationship from corporate and family threats. Every move they make is under scrutiny. What was once private now feels like a battlefield.

So What Now?

Chapter 18: Breaking All The Rules ‘Cause They Were Only Habits (Sam's POV)

Buckle up bestieeeeees!

Summary:

Tension simmers, old scars resurface, and one choice sends everything off balance. What follows isn’t clean or easy—it’s messy, raw, and full of everything they’ve never said out loud. But even in the wreckage, they reach for each other. Not because it’s simple. But because it matters.
