A MASSIVE THANK YOU to @suseagull04 for the amazingly wonderful and fun story you wrote for the @anywhere-with-you-event !

This was an amazing gift and I have read it more than a couple times now and love it more each time!! ❤️

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So he wrote and read about characters that at times felt like old friends, even family, and all the while, he couldn't help looking at the man who sat across from him, imagining him as the man who swept Henry off his feet with that dashing smile of his that made Henry's heart do flips.

Or:

Alex spends his spare time reading fanfiction, not knowing he's about to get his own happily ever after.

[mudbloodpotter05]

Henry has been in love with Alex for an embarrassingly long time, really, and throughout the seasons of his life, he wrote five letters pouring his heart out each time. Then one day, after finding and reading these letters, Alex decides to write one back.

-Or Five times Henry wrote to Alex and One time Alex wrote back.

A Fic for the @anywhere-with-you-event and a gift for @swoonoveryou3

So excited for @vkelleyart !

Deal Announcement: WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON (Erewhon, Spring 2025)

If you've been with me on Tumblr for a while, then you may already be familiar with this title and been waiting for this particular update, and all I can say is thank you endlessly for patiently sticking it out with me! I am so incredibly pleased to announce that WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON has been acquired by Diana Pho at Erewhon Books/Kensington Publishing as an illustrated adult historical fantasy!

Tor.com has published a blush-inducing article which features some insights from me about what inspired the story, reactions from Hugo Award-winning editor Diana Pho on what drew her to the book, a downright tear-jerking endorsement from the incomparable TJ Klune, and my original concept art of Benny & Río. I hope you'll take a moment to read it at the link below!

This project is the culmination of a lifelong dream to write and illustrate my own books, and there are no words to convey the depth of my gratitude to Diana for the gift of seeing it be delivered as an illustrated adult work. Infinite thanks must also go to my unstoppable agent Saritza Hernandez, my phenomenal critique partners Anna Racine and Mark Duplane, and the many experts who generously and enthusiastically donated their time and resources in the middle of lockdown to help me bring 1911 Brooklyn, NY to life, including:

Virginia Sanchez-Korrol –– Professor Emeritus of Puerto Rican & Latino Studies, CUNY Brooklyn College

David Sharp -- President, The Waterfront Museum

Jamie Salen, David Favaloro, & Lana Rubin –– Marketing Director, Director of Curatorial Affairs, & Collections Manager (respectively), The Tenement Museum

Adam Realman -- Artistic Director, The Coney Island Circus Sideshow

More details about WTTHTM's release will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, thank you endlessly for believing in this story and supporting it when it was just a humble MerMay fic. I can't wait until you meet Benny and his beloved Río in print in 2025!

[mudbloodpotter05]

Love these two and love seeing this duo on our screens!

Ballum won Best Partnership

Ballum love triumphs again 💙💙

[mudbloodpotter05]

I am just in love with these guys!

Ballum is my ham and a happy place!

Ben & Callum | 13.11.2023

[mudbloodpotter05]

Love our Ballum!

Go on and get to voting!

The boys are up for best partnership, so please vote for them!! They SO deserve it.

They might not win due to tough competition but we can try! You can skip other catagories and vote many times (on Priv browser)

[mudbloodpotter05]

These two are my favorite couple I’ve ever seen on TV.

They go through so many hard things and through it all, one way or another, they have ALWAYS been there for each other.

Sometimes they get in their own way, or in the way of the other, but they, in the end, ALWAYS come back to the other. To their person. To their home!

[mudbloodpotter05]

Some useful info to be had, here!

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

[mudbloodpotter05]

We all need someone who looks at us, like Ben looks at his Callum!

a little bit of ballum[24/∞]

[mudbloodpotter05]

Thank you, so much, for this! I loved every second of this! Such a wonderful birthday gift!

the one where Alex finds his old high school lacrosse jersey and he REALLY likes when Henry wears it

The jersey is tight across Henry’s broad shoulders, the polymesh sleeves pulled by the tension, making Henry’s biceps pop, and if the hem didn’t reach the waistband of Alex’s underwear, it doesn’t stand a chance on Henry’s long torso. There’s at least two inches of skin visible between the top, and the band of Henry’s red D&G briefs - so selected tonight, because the red matches that in Alex’s high school logo on his chest. Henry looks sexy as hell, and he knows it.

A birthday fic for @mudbloodpotter05!

Click here to read. Rated Explicit.

[mudbloodpotter05]

We’re in the endgame, now!

Hope you lot are ready for this!
