✨Intertidal—Chapter 19, 20✨

Cheeks full of banana like a chipmunk, Enid giggled. Finally had some color back in her when she downed it and teased, "I would have paid good money to see you frazzled, Mr. Cool." I just snorted a laugh. Told her I was never cool and that it was all smoke and mirrors.

"How much time do we have left?" Enid asked, turning to look at Bonnie who was fully outfitted and ready to go.

"Thirty minutes."

"I can tell 'em you need more time," I offered. Changed it up when she shook her head. "Or I could make a scene. Pretend ta' fall down the stairs an' sprain my leg."

Enid laughed. Shook her head at me. "It's fine. I can be ready in thirty. I just need to touch up my makeup and do my hair..."

"I can do your makeup," Wednesday offered from the doorway.

Winnie nodded at Wen then looked back to her sister. "I'll do your hair. I only need to slip on my dress and then I'm ready so I can do your hair real quick."

"Thank you Scrappy," the oldest of the two sisters sniffled. Closed her arms around Winnie in a tight bear hug. "I love you guys so much."

"Love you too, Scoob. Stop crying though or you'll make your eyes even puffier." Turning to me, Winnie couldn't have been more impressive in that moment with how she was handling everything. "I know you have to get ready too but could you grab me a bag of ice? I need it to help with the puffiness in her cheeks and eyes."

Offering her a reserved smile because I couldn't kiss her like I wanted, I nodded. "I can do that."

"From Ariel to Cinderella." I whistled with a smirk and a kiss to her cheek. "You look lovely."

Just a hair shorter than me in my dress shoes and her in her flats, Winnie purred as she looked up at me. "And you're too handsome in this suit."

"Really now?"

She nodded. "Very handsome. I had to stop myself from making it too obvious that I was staring."

"Ye'h, I don't think I was as slick as you were. Ty caught me once or twice. I tried to play it off but he's only as dumb as wood 'bout himself."

"Good thing I was planning on telling them about us anyway."

Swallowing hard, I held her flush against me. Held her gently with my thumbs rubbing tender little circles into the curve of her back.

"So you're sure 'bout this? You ain't put off or anythin' after this mornin' or after what Divvy told ya'?"

Crystalline eyes searching mine, they darted to my lips as she thought about it.

"We all have our past history," Winnie spoke, her voice soft and thoughtful as she mentally weighed her words importance and impact. "I can't say I'm not shocked. I guess it's because my brain keeps ageing you down so it's weird when I'm reminded that you're eight years older. Well," she stopped and corrected herself even though she was right the first time, "seven years right now. But it would be ridiculous if you didn't have a whole life that existed before me...before us. So I'm not upset about it is what I'm trying to say. Or this morning since we're talking about it."

Fighting off the water works, I kissed her cheek and hugged my girl tight. "Thank you."

🌊 INTERTIDAL - Chapter 20: Part of Your World Pt. II

Catching Ty looking at me as I looked at Winnie, I flashed him a cheeky smirk then motioned with my hand opposite of the audience that he was crying. The man rolled his eyes at me with a huff and a quiet scoff. That was the Ty I knew. Had been a long while since I'd seen that kind of sass and spark from him. Wen had done right by him though. Had proven to be the saving grace the man needed. And it was my assertion and bet that I'd be flying into town for their wedding next. I was curious though to know what they would choose the theme of their event. Likely something a little darker or moody. Probably a winter wedding with Wednesday in black or violet since there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that she'd wear white. -@anotherbluesunday

Nodding, I squeezed her tight. "I promise. I won't paddle out if its raging and nothin' but chunder. I'm sure Ty won't either if it shapes up to be a bloodbath."

"You know I almost didn't accept it." She sucked in hard through her stuffed up nose. Tried wiping her eyes but it was no use. "Years ago when I was fifteen and Ty was riding pro big wave for the first time internationally I watched someone almost die there. They were a pro and got popped right off their board like a doll." Her words slammed into me like gale force winds battering at the shore. Hit me with such irony it wasn't even funny anymore. "Ty withdrew. Apparently the guy was one of his friends."

"It was me..." Looking down at her as Winnie looked up at me, eyes wide like the moon and fat with disbelief and horror, I gave her a sad weak smile. "The bloke that got bucked off his board. That was me." - @anotherbluesunday

👀😍💖 @anotherbluesunday phenomenal writing and @tastethesetears being the best enabler. The best duo anyone could ever hope for. So excited for this!!!!

✨Coming Spring 2024✨

How will you remember these years in the next decade?

Ballad of a Teenage Dream is a multifandom capsule drawing on the experiences we all share in our youth that make us all who we are. The highs. The lows. Every heartbreak and every day drenched in golden hazy sunshine. It’s about the friends we make and lose. The ones that change us for the better and the relationships that bloom into something beautiful and unexpect.

All the growing pains.

All the awkward moments and seconds of laughter that pile up.

They’re all here.

Coming in Spring 2024, Ballad of a Teenage Dream follows the Galanis twins, Kent and Divina who have just transferred in after living in O’ahu and the Galpin siblings Tyler, Enid, and Wynn as their worlds collide.

This story is an alternative spin-off of the back history of Intertidal where the Galpins lived in Hawaii and transferred in that was conjured up while I was listening to the Guts album. It was only meant to be a oneshot but @tastethesetears gently encouraged (enabled) me into expanding this into a full-fledged fic. So thank you Gabbi.

More moodboards are set to come but for now enjoy this teaser I threw together after being hit by inspiration. 💜

✨Intertidal Chapter Release—Ch. 18✨

Lifting my phone up high in the air, I sucked in another breath. Great. Tapping the green answer icon I didn't realize it was a video call before it was too late.

"What?" I groaned, trying not to growl because it was too early for these calls and I wasn't at my mental fittest in that moment.

"Mornin'," Kent chuckled, seemingly humored by my post-dawn anguish. "Yer lookin' bright eyed and bushy tailed."

I glared at him.

"What's got ya' out of sorts, love?" he asked in a more concerned tone. "Ya' sick or hurt?"

"No..." I hesitated. Furrowed my brow and closed my eyes as I pinched the bridge of my nose to ward off the creeping headache I felt coming. "Just...I don't know. My head's fuzzy."

"Drunk fuzzy? Hungover? Or like existential dread goin' into numb kinda fuzzy?" When I groaned at the last one I could hear him breathe a sympathetic chuckle. "Yeah, I have those mornin's too."

"Maybe if I have a mimosa..."

Kent clicked his tongue. "That, love, is what we call an unhealthy dependence bordering on alcoholic behavior."

"You sound like my therapist."

"Well kudos ta' her for havin' the stones to say that."

Only Kent could make me roll my eyes with the urge to clock him while looking as good as he did while doing it.

"What're ya' doin' today?"

"Besides withering away beneath my blankets waiting for death to come and fight me for my life?" Kent smirked, humored by my answer rather than being put off the way Enid or my parents would have been. Both him and Ty shared the same flavor of dark humor which was also my flavor as chance would have it. "Nothing. Why?"

"We should do somethin'."

Wading the glowing crystalline waters of the pool hidden within the tropical paradise that surrounded us, I watched Kent swim toward me after diving in from the opposite end. Form shifting hypnotically like an abstract painting cast in bronze, topaz blue, aquamarine, and shimmering yellow, I held my breathe as he approached. Smiled more as if I had been bewitched when he emerged looking like a damn Grecian god with his hair clinging to his broad built shoulders and eyes sparkling. It didn't help that "Moonlight Serenade" was playing to match the vintage vibe of the entire area encapsulating Trader Sam's, Tangaroa Terrace, and the "grown up's" pool.

"Yer doin' that thing again," Kent teased as he floated over to where I was lurking, my arms slung up on the lip of the pool deck. Tilting his head just a bit with a playful flicker in his eyes as he grabbed hold of the handrail of the sidesteps next to me, Kent closed the space separating us. Hung there looking like a siren pulled straight out of fiction. "You'll cook me 'live with that kind of starin'."

I couldn't respond. My brain had gone dead. Or on strike because it was tired of this bullshit. Either way, the bitch had peaced out on me and my thought process was left on buffering.

Eyes constantly drawn back to his eyes, his lips, his chest, it was irrational Wynn's turn to take control of the helm. And what do you know, she steered us all into the shallows. Ran us ashore marooning me in the destructive cycle of reconsidering my stance on relationships versus fuck buddies. And it was her fault that my brain was coming up with more pro's to locking down Kent than it was coming up with con's. This would have been an easy decision weeks ago. Wouldn't have been something I would have even considered at the start of the year. Granted, I had always wanted to take a ride or two on him. But date him? That was a sure sign I had suffered traumatic brain injury. Or at least so I thought. But now?

"Winnie...?" He said quietly, as if he were about to share a secret. From the look in his eyes, he may very well be doing that. Gaze flicking from my lips to my eyes as he got in a little closer, Kent nearly whispered, "What if..." he began--the tension mounting between us pure indescribable torture. "What if I were to tell ya' that you've been on my mind for the last year?"

Restraining myself because I wanted to sprint across the esplanade when he pulled our tickets up on his phone when I asked what line we should get into to buy them, I squealed a little bit instead. Could have crashed my face into his for a stupid heavy kiss when Kent said "happy birthday Winnie" with that devilish smile of his that made his cheeks dimple. He was way too cool for school. Way way too cool for school. - @anotherbluesunday

🌊 INTERTIDAL - Chapter 16 Incoming

The mania and lighthearted teasing simmered down. Took a backseat to the building swelter of the obsessive black-eyed love that hijacked our shared hive mind. Bludgeoned sensibility with a cherub cheeked grin sinking Tyler and I into that familiar heat that was as scorching as it had been the night I marched to his house to kiss him breathless because I could not get his spitefully lovely face out of my head. A face I had the privilege of waking up to every morning--from now until he drew his last breath. Tyler was mine. -@anotherbluesunday

🌊 INTERTIDAL - Chapter 15: Sharks are just Fish with Boundary Issues

Eyes wide just like I knew they'd be, Wednesday said nothing. Didn't utter a peep as she raced off the boat, sprang across the gap between the vessel and the dock, and leapt into my open arms that wrapped around her tight out of instinct. Swing us both around, I laughed. Cried too. Finally--fucking finally!--I had her back. Had my bareknuckle Barbie back in my arms. And as expected she was scolding me through her sobbing for not spoiling the surprise. - @anotherbluesunday
