How I long for our trysts without ever touching his skin. ~ Guilty as Sin?

Inej is left reeling with all these unfamiliar emotions, this ridiculous, unexpected fire coursing through her veins. It sneaks up on her suddenly and without warning, crashing like the tide against shore, ebbs and flows and builds like a raging storm inside her chest until she feels like drowning. Surely she's losing her mind. Of all the people Inej could possibly want, Kaz Brekker is by far the least expected or ideal choice.

But for the first time in what must be a lifetime she feels... something that’s been dormant so long she’d thought she’d lost forever. And she’s not sure if she’ll chase that feeling away or let it consume her whole.

Or: Inej comes to terms with her feelings for one Bastard of the Barrel.

Since Ao3 has temporarily disabled guest comments due to very mean and pornographic bots, now is a very good time for 1) readers with Ao3 accounts to comment on the fics they love and cherish to make up for those who cannot leave guest comments and 2) readers without Ao3 accounts to join the waitlist and make an account!

I'm genuinely disappointed about Ao3 turning off guest comments. It's a necessity at this point from how many spam bots/AI bots there are, and people who plain up harass authors, but it's so fucked up that it has to happen, and honestly so sad because some of my favorite comments EVER are from guest commenters. And I hate that me leaving my works unlocked potentially opens me up to getting my work copied by AI, or my comments spammed with fucking porn GIFs which was apparently a thing that was happening. It's just honestly sad that we can't even have one good thing anymore without AI and shitty people ruining it.

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

so last night i was thinking about that line where matthias (i think it was him? probably) tells kaz he has nothing holy in his life and kaz is just like "no you're wrong" and we all know he's thinking about inej.

and then there's that scene in the show right before they kidnap alina where kaz is in the church and that guard guy is trying to kill him and then inej matieralizes on the balcony above him so she can save his life and they're in a literal church and she's appearing above him to rescue him, basically just being the "something holy" in his life.

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

“This character is dead in canon” to you. They’re dead in canon to you. To me they’re fine

Friendships as a teenager: we used to talk 5 hours every night now it’s down to 3… are we still friends 🤔? I wonder if they don’t like me anymore

Friendships as an adult: omg I’ve finally cleared up 20 minutes of my schedule to talk to my friend I haven’t spoken to in 4 months #bffs #we will find eachother in every life
