#im just so grateful for everyone who has taken the time to read this fic

[allylikethecat]

ally!!!!! I am screaming!!!!! that update was so good oh my god !!!! i apologise for the insufferably long ass message you are about to receive but that update was incredible and i must talk about it!!!!

okay so first of all I would like to take fictional! matty by the shoulders and shake him!!!! the man has no self-worth and it is infuriating like??? hello?? why wouldn’t fictional!george be in love with you you are wonderful??!!!

the christmas gift was such a sweet detail and just shows how much love and care they both have for each other — it was so cute!!!!!

fictional!george absolutely destroying his mother and her stupid opinions??? yes please. i am so very happy you allowed him the opportunity to go off as he so deserved.

also…’the man I am going to marry’????!!! I would like to offer you a round of applause this line had me squealing…i love this version of fictional!george so much he loves his fictional!matty and is not afraid to show it.

+ the kiss infront of all of his family???? perfection - he really said fuck you to all of them lmao.

I really hope they both get their well deserved nap and then have a wonderful and productive conversation about their future and sail off into the sunset together (or just go home for christmas lol) ….that is after fictional!matty does something about that weird stomachache he has 🫠🫠🫠

I once again thank you for another wonderful tuesday update - I am SO excited for the ending of this fic.

— 💌💌💌

Oh my goodness hello my dear 💌 anon! I am deeply sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to this INCREDIBLE ask I have read it at least six time with the happiest of smiles on my face! (Never apologize for sending a long ask omfg literally getting this has made me the happiest of people omg!!) I'm going to attempt to respond to all of your different (wonderful!!) points:

Listen, poor Fictional!Matty has been through a lot in his fictional 34 years :( because they never really talked about it, Fictional!Matty is still hung up on his and Fictional!George's past history, meanwhile Fictional!George does not realize this and thinks they are moving forward - they need to talk, it's all going to be okay 🩵

I had the HARDEST time coming up with Christmas presents for them to get each other omfg, I was like Fictional!Matty just buys himself whatever he wants and Fictional!George is NOT materialistic and doesn't like things BUT I was really happy with what I came up with and I'm excited for you to see what Fictional!George got Fictional!Matty!

Fictional!George was done, his mom is a bitch but his sister's comments put him over the edge, they are going to Manchester where they are appreciated! (In the outline Fictional!George caused even more of a scene - with Fictional!Matty's help, but I think I like this version better!)

Fictional!George is marrying Fictional!Matty even if Fictional!Matty doesn't know that yet- he's waited seventeen years, he's ready gosh darn it!

I had to let Fictional!George make at least a *little* bit of a scene - and making out with Fictional!Matty in the driveway while they waited for the Uber seemed like an appropriate scene to make lol

Yes!!! I'm so excited for the final part, I think it's going to wrap a few things up nicely! Lots of talking, and napping, and snuggling needs to happen, especially since Poor Fictional!Matty is not well....

I'm so glad that I was able to make you smile on your Tuesday, and I hope the rest of your week has been absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful for the continued support and this lovely ask and the fact that you've taken the time to stick with the Christmas Fic even though it is now very much March lol. I apologize again for taking so long to respond and I hope you are having, and continue to have the best week!!!

❤️Ally

MERA!!!! I have no one else to ramble/rant about this to since I fear it's a pretty uncommon experience, but have you ever read a wonderful piece of work by someone who unfortunately ended up deactivating/leaving most socials? ;ª;

There's this one darker Tweels fic called "Aphotic" currently listed on ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27124492/chapters/66236443 link for good measure)- which if im not sure if you've ever read, but oh. My. God. It's such a great fic that really hits the spot for darker content of the tweels. The characterization of Jade and Floyd are absolutely my favorite in this fic as they're just *incredibly* mean to the reader but in a tasteful way. Bonus points also go to how the author wrote the mc(reader) as well, everyone in this fic is just equally fucked up and reading through this story is just one incredible rocky ride..there are only two surviving chapters and one of the two is Floyd focused, but I don't wanna spoil the main plot of the fic for anyone that may be interested in reading just please take the warning that when I say the tweels are mean, they are MEAN..

unfortunately the fic is not only unfinished but as I mentioned earlier, in a devastating turn of events the author of the series completely deactivated D: they were also on tumblr once I think they went by twstedworks? But there's no longer any way to see any of their works on this platform anymore which is just so unfortunate,, I get an intense feeling of past-felt-fomo knowing I wasn't able to see any of their other stuff while they were an active writer knowing that they seemed to be active in 2020(?) Which was a time I wasn't really reading any written works for twst... but regardless of whatever reason they chose to leave the platform I do hope they're doing well now.

I'm sad that I'll never be able to see the jade centric part of Aphotic, or be able to see any of their previous dribbles or works since they've all been completely wiped. I have followed good yan/dark twst writers and blogs in the past that have deactivated or moved on for whatever personal reason in the past but it does really suck in this case not being able to at least, in the slightest , have been able to experience other stuff this author may have wrote which im sure was delightful orz...

Reminder to readers and consumers of fanfic on here to always show support and motivation to your favorite writers!! You never know when you'll never get the chance to read anything from them ever again :( and thank you esp Mera for being one of my favorite twst blogs of all time on here!! Your interpretations of the tweels have always been my favorite from any blog and the way you choose to write these characters in general never disappoints ✨️

If this does get answered, being as this is my first ever formal ask, may I be 🪆 anon? Or 🍮🥄 if that's taken ^_^

Hi hiii, 🍮🥄 anon!!! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

I know that experience... >_< it's happened to some of the stories/authors I followed. It's always so sad when writers deactivate/leave the platform or fandom/etc, but everyone has their reasons. I can only be grateful I was able to behold such enjoyable works!!! :D "Aphotic" sounds like such an interesting story!! I love mean tweels. <3 I'll have to check it out!

I think I've read some writings from twsted-works before they deactivated! It was so long ago (before I even had a tumblr account), but I remember adoring the way they wrote Octavinelle. I hope they're doing well wherever they are!!

And you're so right!!! It's always important to show support and love to artists, creators, writers, etc! Most, if not all, writers love to receive feedback on their work. Even something like a keyboard smash or a dozen heart emojis is very flattering to us because it shows us that you've enjoyed the work. Whether you show that enjoyment by commenting, liking, reblogging, or sending an ask on here, it's always lovely to spread appreciation for the hard work and time that goes into crafting wonderful stories!!! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Thank you so much for your sweet words!! I'm just happy to be able to write and share stories!! It's a huge honor you would consider me one of your favorite twst blogs. I'm beyond flattered!!!! ♥️✨

Hey everyone!

I was writing a long fic (editing it for the forth time) and was very curious about how many followers I had. So, I went to check and I am 1 follower away from 100 followers and I just want to express my appreciation and gratefulness for all of you in this post! 🥹💕

Firstly, I would like to say a thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey of my fanfic writing! ❤️❤️ (also big thank you to the people who have taken the time to read my fics, it means so much to me! 🥰🫶)

I feel like The Gate To Home series just needs its own paragraph, so this is a thank you to every single person who has read, liked, commented, reblogged, or obsessed over this series! 💞 (chapter 5 coming out when I edit it, *cough cough* again 😃) I also can't believe the series is almost to an end 😭🤚

Another paragraph specifically for my moots because I love you all! Thank you so much for all you have done I can't even begin to describe how much you all mean to me!! 💗

List of thank you's:

Thank you to everyone who is in my taglists (general or series) ❤️

Thank you to my moots ❤️

Thank you to the anon (if it wasn't for you, witch reader would probably have ended up with Azriel but im very glad that somebody actually expressed their opinion about this and helped me decide that witch reader ends up with Rhysand!) (But also thank you because this was actually my first inbox message I have received and I am beyond grateful that you took the time to send a message to me about one of my fics) ❤️

Thank you to @anarchiii because you've been incredibly supportive and I just love you and I feel like you deserve a special thank you ❤️

A few other people who deserve a special thank you:

@blessthepizzaman (your comments always make me smile! 🥰)

@lilah-asteria (one of my first followers that has always had kind things to say about my fics, thank you for that! 💕)

@shadowsxgwynriel (first follower, love you and your fics are just mwah 🫶🥰)

People who have been my inspirations:

@azrielslittleslut (I can't, your fics are amazing and you have inspired me so much 😭💞 also you write Azriel so perfectly whether it's fluff, angst or smut 🤭)

@really-fanny-longbottom (Your fics are incredible, I will fight people on this, and your writing has inspired me so much 🥰💗)

@prythianpages (Cassianxlovewitch love it, Azrielxgreenwitch love it, Erisxchaoswitch I know I'll love it even if it's not out yet, all of your fics, I love them, you're an amazing author and a huge inspiration for me 💕💕)

@daycourtofficial (more in love with your writing than with fictional men 😌💖 reading your fics had made me want to write more and evolve as a writer 💗)

@anarchiii (Your worlds apart series is breaking me apart, tearing me to shreds and yet I'm loving every second of it! I love your fics so much and you have encouraged me to keep writing The Gate To Home series when I felt as if no ideas were flowing and honestly I could write a whole essay about how thankful I am for you 🥹❤️)

There are so many more people that I want to thank, so I will just say thank you to everybody because as much as I want to, I can tincture everyone and I'm sorry 😭)

Also, lastly, guys I need ideas on what to do once I hit 100 followers (because unless it's a plot idea, my creativity kind of sucks 😀)

Love, Cassia ❤️

[tortoisebore]

heyyy! not to put any pressure of u at ALL, I was just wondering if u know when the last chap is coming out?? love ur work 💘

hello! i’ve gotten a fair few of these asks lately so i’m popping back in rq to let u know what’s up!

first i want to emphasize that my fic is not abandoned and it will be completed soon.

i’ve taken a break from posting here while i finish up these last 1.5 chapters bc while i very much enjoy being able to talk with everyone, i unfortunately found myself thinking more about how quickly i could offer you more snippets or excerpts or updates rather than the quality of the story and my own enjoyment writing it. to be entirely transparent i’ve also been experiencing some stage fright—it’s a bit daunting to wrap this thing up with the knowledge that so many people have read it and are following it.

tbh i “finished” the last 1.5 chapters in february, but i got to the end and it just didn’t feel right. closing out a story that i’ve spent a year and a half of my life writing is a big deal to me, & the ending i wrote felt lackluster and like it didn’t do justice to the rest of the story, so i’ve spent the last few weeks taking a step back to reevaluate and rewrite it without the ‘my audience is peering over my shoulder’ feeling that i sometimes get when i’m telling you every little thing that’s happening in my writing process.

at the end of the day this is just a fun little self indulgent project, but i care very much about the story and the characters and my number one priority rn is that i feel good about how it ends. i’m a slow writer in general and i don’t do deadlines, so i can’t offer you an estimated timeframe for an update other than “sometime in the near future.” the final 1.5 chapters are a work in progress and will continue to be until i feel like they’re ready, but i’m having a very good time writing them, and ultimately i think you’ll really enjoy the way this part of their story comes to a close 🫶

(and thank you to this anon and everyone who has sent me asks/messages asking about updates—i really do appreciate you and i really hope im not coming across like an asshole 🫶 i’m very grateful for your care and support for this story 💕)

[definitelynotshouting]

I’ve been trying to grasp why I’ve been so in love with hunger au, and it wasn’t until looking up the lyrics to ‘ibuprofen’ to try and spoil the next chapter for myself (I am very good at making things up) that I figured out why.

Your World building is beautiful and I’m a massive sci-fi fan I thought that was why I was originally so invested, but I realized that the entire story (as of rn) can be read as a metaphor for a type of personality disorder?

This isn’t me saying that the story MUST be a metaphor, or even that you intentionally wrote it like that, but goddamn it does click some button in me like oh!!

Sometimes w personality disorders it feels like all you can do is hurt people. You’re carefully restricting your actions and expressions so you dont ever get too comfortable and hurt someone, but you inevitably fail and all you can do is feel bad because you were able to be yourself and meet some kind of internal satisfaction but the result is other people being hurt and you still aren’t happy cause that’s inherently a bad thing.

And then the logical conclusion is that you should never speak or hang out with people (or like. Live.) ever again because it’s not right to be hurting other people with your mere existence.

Idk if anyone else has mentioned this before but yeah that’s this for me lol. But!! Help exists!!! and Grian will get help too with his watcher tendencies after he realizes that his existence isn’t inherently detrimental and that there are solutions for his problems if he uses his big boy words and asks.

And no one will forgive him for what’s happened overnight, and those who forgive him will still have been hurt, and some of his relationships will be permanently altered because of the way he’s hurt them. But it’s not the end for him and it’s not the end for anyone else!!

Sorry this is so long! Idk if I should tag anything sensitive in case you decide to respond so Ima leave that to you— I’m a tumblr lurker I’ve been here for years but never commented on anything lol. Ty for the story, keep living laughing and loving (It’s what Grian would want apparently) and have a good one!

placing some obligatory tws here for those with post filtering: tw for discussions of mental health, personality disorders, and minor suicidal ideation (in the ask)

alright with that out of the way this is actually really validating for me to hear bc a lot of what you're seeing in this has been inserted very deliberately. While its not intended to fully be a metaphor for having a personality disorder, a lot of what's been depicted does draw on that, so im really glad this resonates with you!!

At its heart and core, hunger au is about the raw process of recovery, and how grueling but ultimately rewarding it is to commit to getting better. Showing this process through the fic is, i suppose, my way of holding the hand of everyone who is struggling with their own recovery and saying "i see you. i understand. you arent alone."

I cant overstate how humbled i am by everyone who has taken the time to tell me how theyve seen themselves in hunger au. And the fic is just getting started!!! The fact that people are resonating this hard with it at only 5 chapters in just blows me away. Its everything ive wanted for this fic. Thank you for taking the time to tell me this, because im truly so grateful that i am making an impact with it, no matter how small or personal.

[stevie-petey]

Hello! I just wanted to start off by saying I LOVE your Come Home series and your writing with it. It has inspired me in so many ways, and in all honesty, I’ve enjoyed it more than I have actually watching Stranger Things! I cannot wait to see where you take the book, and how you navigate whatever comes with season 5!!!!

I was also wondering, how have you found so much success with this series on Tumblr, and do you have any tips for growing fics in general? It has gained so much popularity and I am so happy to see it because you totally deserve it, your hard work is paying off so good!

Have a great day or night,

Anon 🦋

hi dear !! first of all, thank you so much <333 i appreciate the kind words so much and i adore you for being so supportive :’)

long post ahead !!

as for how come home managed to become what it is now: i truthfully cant really say. it still amazes me that its so popular now, but even then i dont necessarily consider it “popular” in my head lmao shes just my lil story !!

i want to start off by saying i never intended for come home to become such a well loved fic. i uploaded the first chapter simply because i wanted to, i liked what i wrote and hoped someone would like it as well. never did i think “cool ok this fic will def become an overnight sensation”.

honestly, one day i was averaging maybe 60 notes per chapter and then the next day i was suddenly averaging 300-400. the fic quickly took off before i could even really process it, and i want to emphasize that this is rare !! so so so incredibly rare. i got lucky, thats all there really is to it :/ sometimes amazing stories dont get the recognition they deserve and sometimes they do. i have personally written fanfiction for 10 years now and i never once had a fic “blow up” how come home did.

i also want to say how fucking grateful that my story managed to find its own community and become this amazing thing. every day i cannot believe any of it is real and i genuinely love and adore each and every person who reblogs and recommends the fic.

what i CAN say is that tags help !! ive noticed some new authors dont know how to tag their fics, which can really diminish their reach. for tumblr, the first five tags are the most important. these are the ones that show up on dashboards !!! i think what also helped me was having a very clear and concise story structure with pretty frequent updates. im fortunate to be able to write and upload a lot faster than i probably should (it concerns many but i find it funny).

and lastly i also just think its super important to interact with everyone !! answer all the asks, reblog all the responses, reply to every comment. i firmly believe its the least i can do if someone has taken the time to read my story and found time to say a quick praise or simply tell me they laughed :)

at the end of the day, its a game of luck and perseverance if anything else, but the general creator rule of thumb is that you should never create something just for the notes/reblogs/praise. create for yourself, create because you WANT to !!! its a slippery slope keeping track of clicks and hit and whatever. i stopped keeping track of come homes own traction because i simply dont care enough to follow it. im happy where i am and i love how the story has grown :)

hope this helped a bit and that ya enjoyed my rambles <3

[amberlynnmurdock]

just wanted to pop on here and say happy thanksgiving everyone <3 (i know im early lol) but it's been a while! i haven't had time to write anything, but hoping i can update blind faith and new haven very soon. also wanted to be sappy and say that i am so grateful and thankful for everyone who has taken the time to read my fics. it means so much to me. i absolutely love getting lost in these worlds and writing for our fav characters and it's a joy to see people also read fic and get lost in these universes as well <3 (sappy message is over!) love you guys and i hope you all have a great holiday <3 <3

[i-sveikata]

I read the chapter for several hours and now it's already late at night but I don't regret anything. I couldn't put it down, this tension between them, this chase, this passion and danger just captured me. I'm EXCITED. Pete who thought about Macau warms my heart so much 💓 Vegas my boy your father inspired you that you mean nothing and are not worthy of anything but look who is chasing you, who so desperately wants to prove to you that there is a way out and he is next to you 🥺 I’m so sorry for Vegas for what his father inspired him that darkness and hatred are all he has and all he is worth..... And Pete who finally knew the full depth of Vegas's trauma and how painful it is to realize how much your loved one is broken and breaking before your eyes 💔 I knew what was going to happen in this chapter but the way you described it, that line between fighting and shooting and Vegas and Pete being excited, it was just WOW. I was so tense the whole time. That parallel that all the time Vegas was running after Pete and begging him to be with him, but here Pete finally realizes how much Vegas means to him and runs after him all the time, please stay so WE COULD BE.....Thanks for all these emotions 🫂💙I hope Pete makes Vegas comfortable after waking up and he himself will be fine (it was too emotional for him) I want them to finally be happy, or traumatized mafia boys in love🥺But I feel Korn won’t leave them alone😭 Too many letters, but I’m so grateful for this work, thank you for your work, it’s incredible 🫶

omg sorry i always hear about everyone reading it so late at night for them and these timezones are straight up working against us!!! but to be fair i did post it like 1AM in my timezone too lol so im just as sleep deprived as you probably hahaah.

that makes me so happy to hear!! it was literally the culmination of the fic, the penultimate show down without it actually being the complete end so i really hope after all the build up and tension that it delivered!!

omg like???? so soft of him tbh i really wanted to build on that final scene on the show- like where macau is so comfortable around pete that he cuddles up to him with vegas and it just seemed to work so well. pete might be tough and practical to the point of hurtful sometimes but he does care!!!

ugh yeah we really did see the worst effects of vegas' trauma this chap, like here he has something good with pete, pete who has already given him one too many chances than what he deserves and even with him running off constantly during the coup, pete is still chasing him, still trying to pull him back from that ledge. so glad kan is dead now because i dont know if vegas would have ever made the choice to turn his back on him. not unless kan took his intentions to hurt pete further and it literally came down to the two of them in the room (like that time in the safe house when kan nearly killed him) and even if it had ended like that, and vegas had chosen pete like we all knew he would, it would have still been agony for vegas.

pete is absolutely going to take his caring up to eleven once he's fully conscious again and can get in to see vegas. he is going to be annoying so many doctors with vegas, whilst also making sure vegas follows their post op recovering instructions lol. but we all know vegas secretly loves being taken care of so the both of them will be living their best unhinged lives.

no spoilers but korn has some more tricks up his sleeve he always does but now that pete isn't restricted by his agony of not betraying the main family anymore i do think korn is going to be in for a surprise.

ahhhh youre so welcome!! im so very glad that you liked it :)

[redbleedingrose]

I hit 800 followers two days ago??? I’m so shook, I’m absolutely stunned.

Special shout-outs!

[cainightfics]

So I haven’t been on tumblr in ages, but AO3 is down and I needed some tyrelliot content (which, as we all know, is hard to find with such a small community producing it). I’m scrolling through the tag, see your posts, and realize you wrote the fic I was literally going to reread when AO3 stopped working. So just wanted to say I love your work and really appreciate that you’ve taken time to write something that truly focuses on the complexities of their relationship. I’m also really grateful it isn’t smut (not that I’m shaming it, I’m just on that ace spectrum and prefer reading about an intellectual chemistry over a physical one), and I think tyrelliot is more about an intellectual/power dynamic than something physical anyway, so it’s thematically appropriate.

Also saw you mention in a post that you have an English lit degree - I’ve got an English degree. (: And as I read your responses to that troll from a couple weeks ago, and have to say I agree with everything you said. I appreciate your writing so much, as well as your point of view. Anyway, thank you again for sharing your time and talent. Hope this message finds you well.

wow, thank you! i really appreciate you taking the time to let me know you enjoy my work. i enjoy writing it for you!

i often worry about the lack of smut, so im happy when i hear people arent bothered by it. i just figure a lot of the tyrelliot fic currently out there is pretty smutty, and i wanted to do something different. i do understand that smut is why a lot of ppl read fic, tho, so im happy the plot and developing relationship in this fic has been enough to hold peoples interest since i began this story a year ago! im really thankful for everyone who has continued to support me.

and eyyy fellow english major!! i loved my english degree, i thought it was loads of fun, even though its not exactly marketable in the career world. i think spending 4 years doing english lit has made me feel absolutely no desire to engage in fandom discourse at all lol. i just find the usual talking points either boring, overly dichotomous, or imbued with weird puritanical moralizing. i honestly just dont care for 90% of the discussions i see about fandom.

thanks again for your message! ive had a long day, so it was nice to come home to this

[versadies]

you have no obligation to continue the fic you know? you started it because you wanted to, you were having fun while writing it, you WANTED to write it and i'm so sorry people have taken that fun away from you (and if i'm included in one of those, i cannot apologize enough).

if people think they're obligated to send threats just because you wrote something they do not like, i feel scared for the way this world is going to be. everyone has freedom to state opinions and disagree with other's, what they have no right to do is be a sh*tty a-hole just because they find someone writing something they don't agree with.

sorry im really pissed.

just take care of yourself and your health. keep drinks lots of water. this is not enough to get your mind f-ed over.

on a lighter note, the kazuha theme looks so amazing!! i really love how it looks.

ty for your words, comrade — and omg dw, you’re not included with the reasons why i feel like ive lost the feelings i had when i first wrote evermore. if anything, youve always been a sweet person to me in my inbox and said nothing but great words about my works <333

im aware i have no obligation to continue evermore, and honestly, i think i would give it up if it werent for you and dear readers who come up and told me how they’ll still continue to love and read this series of mine that i cherished. for that, im grateful for your sweet words and i knew i must finish this just for you guys :DDD you guys let me know that there are people who appreciate my works and me finishing evermore is my way of showing my gratefulness to you guys 🫶🫶🫶🫶

i also appreciate all my comrades who criticized me and expressed their disappointment, especially when they made sure to put it politely and remind me that this is my fic by the end of the day. they’re the reason why i wanted to add another version of evermore even when im fully aware of the time it’ll take for me to write. (and i want to thank you guys for not attacking any of the anons who had the courage to tell me ab the problems :>>)

besides that, there werent any threats at all — but rather messages that hurt my feelings / made me feel demotivated and scared in writing evermore. i mustve worded my venting post wrong and made it look like i received scary threats so my bad 😭😭😭 and dw i understand why youre pissed, there are rlly people out there who have the audacity to send threats to others just bcuz of something they didnt agree with and that is not a slay thing to do 👹👹👹

ill continue to try my best to take good care of myself and stay healthy as well as not getting my mind f-cked over — i hope you take care of yourself too !!

and tyty, im glad you see my theme that way hehehe

[allylikethecat]

oh my god ally this is torture (but like, good) he's going STRAIGHT into another heat? also the smut is great!!

AHHHH Thank you so much for reading!! 🥰 I'm so happy to hear that even if it is torture (I'm sorry!!) that it's good torture?

I was SO NERVOUS about the lil spicy bit at the start of the chapter and really went back and forth on including it, BUT it felt important plot wise to show where Fictional!Matty's head was so I ended up including it. I know I've been very vocal about being insecure about my smut writing so THANK YOU SO MUCH for the bottom of my heart for being so kind and supportive of my attempts 🩵

Also yes, biology is not being kind to poor Fictional!Matty 🥺 His body has decided it also wants Fictional!George and Fictional!Matty needs to hurry up and get with the program! I can't wait for the rest of this fic to unfold! I feel like I have really hit a point where I'm actually extremely pleased with how the words are ending up on the page and it has me so excited to continue working on it!

THANK YOU so much for reading and taking the time to send me this lovely ask! I have been smiling SO WIDE all day after I saw it! Thank you so much for the continued support! I hope your Tuesday was wonderful and that the rest of your week continues to be the best ever! Thank you!!

❤️Ally

[euphoricfilter]

me wondering why if anon has such a problem with kpop fans and Tumblr users they’re literally on Tumblr ranting on a kpop author’s blog 🧐 some people just have no sense but sending you lots of love!! I hope you do continue with the fic because it’s so important and validating for people who identify as gender-fluid/agender to see that kind of representation when most spaces in the world are not built to accommodate them💕

yeah i don’t exactly get it.. i think it all just escalated when they decided to bring race into the question and imply i was being racist?? and then saying a few things which definitely made me raise my eyebrows because it’s sort of an icky way of thinking and kinda hypocritical if we’re talking about damaging real people

the original first ask the anon made was saying if it was disrespectful on my part making jungkook use he/they pronouns, and why i didn’t make the reader nonbinary instead. and i felt like i was at least somewhat valid in my reply, im not here to invalidate any enby person hence why me making a totally fictional character the gender fluid one gives me the freedom to create a character and their opinions of their identity without forcing my own views of my gender onto the reader insert when i feel like being non binary is somewhat of a spectrum, it’s different for everyone

i think after that it completely just escalated with the race comments, assume my race and then calling it racist to change a man’s pronouns. i’m not a gender warrior, i’m not here to force a gay agenda onto any one of my followers or someone that stumbles across my page. it’s simply a safe space for lgbtq+ friends, and my bad that i wanted to represent a character through a member of bts. i know what’s real and what’s not, and i’m not coming online to say that jungkook doesn’t use he/him pronouns

the comments about the sexualisation of jungkook were kinda gross, kinda defeated their point they were trying to make. and yeah some points were valid about what happens online and how asian men are viewed or other POC within other communities. i’m not saying that’s wrong, i’m not oblivious or stupid or ignorant 😭 but this all started with a fictional character so i’m like ??? idk and then it all just went down hill so i don’t know anymore

the last few asks they sent felt like they’re were underlined with homophobia so i’m not gonna spend a lot of time arguing when whatever i say is just gonna be ignored or taken out of context to what i’ve been trying to say, even last night with my original answer to the ask. and i just felt sad reading it LMAO like idk what more i’m supposed to do, i’ve apologized if i’ve done anything wrong or anything i’ve said is damaging and i’ve tried to articulate my thoughts best i can but i can only type out so much, talking is so much easier 🚶‍♀️

anyways, what’s happened has happened and i’m tired 😭 and it was a total mood killer though

anyways i love all of you guys, and everyone that’s been nice today i’m extremely grateful!! 💕 so thank you for worrying! it’s very sweet

1. Hello you wonderful people! So grateful to what you do on this page! I was hoping you could help me find a fic where the Lans agree to take in the Wen if Wei Wuxian agrees to be cleansed of resentful energy and Wei Wuxian agrees even though it will kill him. I know Wen Qing has a main role in it because she tries to convince him not to. Thank you lovely mods!

WWX wakes up in MXY body but has lost his memory. He is in the middle of fighting off the arm at the Mo residence and tells the diciples to play rest. Meets LWJ, gets taken back to Cloud Recess, everyone thinks his memory lost is due to the arm. Sometimes mentions things in a "previous life". Tries sword fighting with the kids, knows what he's doing. And thats as far as I got.

I am looking for a book that I read few months back, I even went through the history and couldn't find it loll. It's about how the mdzs characters watching wei wuxian life after the first siege (?) Everyone (I think everyone) who died were resurrected to watch his life as well. While watching they didn't know that wei wuxian was still alive but not in their time period, he is alive, and pregnant and now goes by the name Bai Ying or Bai Wuxian in the future. And when they found out they decided to go and convince him to come back with them, but he doesn't remember them.

6. Hello!! I’m p sure there’s a lot of fics like this out there right now TAT but im looking for a fic where lwj ends up tutoring wwx how to kiss? Or at least how to be sexual w/ each other? Iirc, this happened because they were having a conversation about first base, second base etc so the main point of their “agreement” is to kind of show wwx the different bases? I hope that makes sense 😭 If it helps, i remember wwx always goes to lwj’s place too for their sessions. And he often has to wait until lwj is finished with his studying/homework before the start. Thank you!!!

Either works for me tho I don’t know whether they mean something or not. So far the less desirable ways to address me are ‘madam’ and ‘mister’ but I'm not picky ~Mod L** i am looking for a fic. Actually two but i am pretty hopeful they are from a series.

a) WWX lives. He is taked by Qinghe Nie and put to a room. Told not to use resentment. He gets letters but JGY tells him not to read em. WWX doesn’t talk and all but one day NHS comes to do his hair and gossips. Later LWJ comes and WWX uses resentment when he hears about JYL marriage! that’s the first one i wanna find.

b) JGY is given then task to look after JYL’s kids. I think there was three? Something happened to JYL. I think a tough birth and he was given the task to be there babysitter. He starts to get really overworked since he already works a lot and I remember JZX lives too! So JGY basically lives in the baby jin room but later they get a nursemaid. I remember there was a conference and kinda 3zun happens? Like implying. Please help me! Thnx @sandriya-artemis​

14. Hi :) I just stumbled over your blog recently and maybe you could help me find a fic? I've been looking for it for weeks now but I can't seem to find it and it's driving me a bit crazy 🙈😅 so, it goes like this I think: wwx & lwj get together earlier and somehow the lan sect gifts Yiling (I think) to wwx and when he goes there during the war they sort of meet an estranged uncle of lwjs who left cloud recess and somehow they end up with little xuanwu babies and wwx lets spirits of former townguards posess them including the deceased wife of lwjs uncle and I think somehow the title Yiling Patriarch is still being used? And at one point lwj and wwx try on makeup? And it might or might not be a time travel fic? Idk 😅 I hope this is enough information and you know the fic, if not no worries and have a great day and thank you! :)

15. Hi, I first want to say thank you for all the hard work everyone puts in to help find and post links to fics. I have found many great reads following you guys. Second is I had read a fic and thought I had bookmarked it but it seems I cannot find it anymore so I am not sure if it was deleted or not and I cannot remember the title 😭. What I remember from the fix is that Wei WuXian has like 4 soulmates (idr if it was abo or not) but one of his soulmates was Wen Ning but he was a platonic soulmate. All his soul mates also had like a celestial beast form I think Lan Wangji was a dragon, Jin Zixuan was a tortoise or something like that. Oh and Wei WuXian was a phoenix but no one knew until he died and came back. Thats all I remember. Thank you again in advance ☺️. Oh an sorry if I did this incorrectly it’s my first time doing an ask.

20. Hello. How are you? **I'm very well, thank you ~Mod L** Um there's this fic that's been on my mind and no matter how much I look, I can't seem to find it. I remember the beginning I believe was people chasing wwx wanting to kill him (this is post canon he and lwj are already together doing everyday stuff 😏) and lwj wasn't there, I think they had lured him away. Anyway wwx dies but ends up time travelling back to his lotus pier childhood. I know he was basically a genius. I distinctly remember him joining jiang yanli in training to be a 'good wife' (?) Furen training idk. But it was stuff like sewing embroidery, accounts, etc. I think there was even a sex ed thing. I know wwx made his own robes and he and nhs got along well bc of that. I can't really remember much else but any help would be appreciated please and thank you.

Cameras and crushes

Pairing: George Weasley x reader

Warning: Alcohol, small mention of death, pure fluffiness 

Summary: Y/N is used to being a background character someone you glaze over but never really notice. But more recently she longed for someone to see her, well she longed for a certain redhead to see her. 

A/N: Wrote this for @theweasleysredhair​​ writing challenge based off the prompt “You remembered?” very proud of this fic so i hope you love it as much as i do. All feedback is welcomed :))))

italics represent a flashback 

Taglist: send me a message if you would like to be added @hufflepuff5972​ @inglourious-imagines​ @klausdatprettyboi​ @georgeweasleyswhre​​

————————————————————————

Y/N is very content with being a background character, she’s quite used to it actually. Growing up with 3 older and much louder brothers she was pretty happy with sticking to the sidelines, letting them be noisy and crazy while she kept to herself. Y/N grew up with mostly boys around her, her mother passed away when she was young. Y/N would always beg her brothers and her dad for stories of her mother, wanting to feel closer to her. Y/N’s dad would fondly retell memories of his beautiful wife, reminiscing on how witty and charismatic she was. He’d mention all the small, quirky things she would do which made him fall hard and fast for her. Y/N longed for that kind of love, she longed for someone to take notice of her in the way her dad did for her mum. Ever since Y/N was a little girl she yearned to be heard and seen but that proved difficult when you’re as shy and quiet as her.

Judging by most of the people in Y/N’s life she seemed to attract the boisterous types, guessing her quiet nature balanced them out. She loved her friends with her entire heart, even if their personalities were the opposite of hers, Y/N wouldn’t change their qualities if she could.

One of her friends, although still lively and vibrant as the others, also had a calm and tranquil side to him. George Weasley. Y/N had only known George for a few years having met at Lee Jordan’s 18th birthday 3 years ago. Somehow that night she had ended up climbing a tree with the tall redhead whom she had only met 30 minutes prior.

“How the hell did you get up to that branch?” Y/N mumbled, trying to figure out how to reach the higher branch where George Weasley was currently sitting, his long legs swinging back and forth as he chuckled at the girl below him.

“I used that branch sticking out there and then swung my leg up to get here.” George points to the branch to the girls left. 

Y/N grunts as she attempts what George said but huffs and pouts her lip feeling defeated, “you forget that I have little legs, unlike you Mr. giraffe.”

George rolls his eyes and stretches his hand out, “try again, I’ll help pull you up.”

Somehow, George manages to pull Y/N up and they sit comfortably next to one another up high in the tree. “There you go little bunny, don’t go falling off now.”

Y/N rolls her eyes at the nickname wishing she had brought her cider up with her feeling very self-conscious and unsure of what to do her shaking hands.

The pair fall into a comfortable silence, watching the party goers below them gathered around a very intoxicated birthday boy chanting as he chugs another beer, “we love to drink with Lee cause Lee is our mate and when we drink with Lee he gets it down in 8…7…”

Their voices drown out as George gently nudges Y/N’s shoulder pulling her attention back to him, “soo, Y/N I hear you’re not much of the talker?”

Y/N blushes hard grateful for the lack of light outside. “No I guess not. Not many are interested in what I have to say.”

George smiles, his eyes not leaving the girl beside him, “well I am. Tell me something.”

Y/N chews on her bottom lip nervously and looks back at the drunk crowd, “like what?”

George shrugs, he didn’t really mind what the conversation was about, he just wanted to hear the pretty girl speak. “I dunno, anything. Tell me about something that makes you happy.”

Y/N racks her brain for something to talk about, her palms getting sweaty from the long silence. Finally, she settles on something that always fills her with joy, her mother.

“Um okay so,” she starts staring at the leaves swaying in the tree, pushing down the anxiety. “Before my mother died she always had this film camera with her, my dad used to joke around saying that she loved this camera more than him,” Y/N chuckles quietly before continuing “She would take photos of the most random things, we have this big box back home filled with all the photos she ever took with that camera.” Y/N pauses, fumbling with her fingers. “I wish we still had the camera. You see after my mum passed, dad had to look after us 4 kids and with only one income coming in, it was pretty tough. For my 12th birthday I reeeaaally wanted a new bike, I’d complained for years that I couldn’t have my brothers old one because it was a gross boy’s bike. So, my dad sold my mums camera to get me a pink one. Kind of wish he didn’t because I would have loved to still have mum’s camera with us.”

Y/N finished and chewed her lip realising speaking about her dead mother probably wasn’t a great conversation piece, but any story of her mother always made her feel warm inside.

George hadn’t taken his eyes off her throughout the whole story, his heart fluttering when her eyes had lit up as she spoke about her mother.

“I’m sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear, it was the first thing that popped into my head.” Y/N mumbled.

George simply shook his head and replied, “you don’t ever have to apologise to me for saying what’s on your mind Y/N. I’ll listen to whatever you have to say.”

For the first time in a while, Y/N felt seen.

Y/N’s phone dings and she pulls it from her pocket to read the message.

-Hey bunny :) so 4 tonight, we’re aiming to get to urs at like 7. does that work for u?

It was from George. Even if she didn’t have his number saved, she’d be able to tell it was from the redhead simply from his choice of nickname. Y/N hated when he called her bunny but George insisted on using the nickname ever since Lee’s 18th mainly because he thought it was cute not that he would tell her that.

Y/N’s heart thumped harder in her chest purely from the fact that George had texted her. Her crush on George had amplified over the years of knowing the boy, feeling both thankful and uneasy at the fact that he had so effortlessly slotted into their tight friendship group mainly because he was always around making Y/N a stuttering mess.

Y/N’s fingers fumble as she types out a response, it was her birthday today and all her friends we’re persistent in throwing her a party. They had agreed to a small gathering at Y/N’s place, Y/N didn’t want them to make such a fuss over it.

-Hey Georgie, 7 is perfect! Cant wait.

-See u then bunny, hope ur ready to get ur drink on ;)

-IDK, after the other weekend I dont think im ready to face alcohol again

-nope! no excuses from u, u only turn 21 once

Y/N chuckles at George’s message and goes back to tidying her house, ready for tonight.

~~~~

As soon as it hits 7pm her friends are barging through her front door lugging drinks.

Each of them greet Y/N giving her a hug and wishing her happy birthday.

“We’ll do presents later, first let’s get some drinks into us!” Angelina cheers as she starts to mix some deadly concoction. Alicia connects her phone to the speaker, the living room filling with music.

Y/N jumps as a voice pipes up from behind her, “happy birthday little bunny.”

She turns facing George as he places a brightly coloured wrapped box on the counter with the other presents. He opens his arms, engulfing her into a giant hug. Y/N wraps her arms around his waist, giving him a tight squeeze, “thanks” she mumbles into his chest before pulling away looking up at his warm eyes. They stare at each other for a second before the moment is broken when Fred places something on Y/N’s head.

“A birthday tiara for the birthday girl” Fred states loudly, Y/N glances at the mirror hanging from the wall on her left sees a plastic silver and pink tiara perched upon her head.

“Oh god,” Y/N mumbles adjusting it slightly.

Lee shouts over the music, drawing everyone’s attention over to him. “Okay everyone, the ever lovely Angie has made us each a questionable looking but delicious drink to start the night. So get your butts over here and let’s get this party started!”

A few hours and many, many drinks later, everyone is huddled in the living room, sitting on the couches watching Y/N open her presents. So far, she had gotten some perfume from Angelina, chocolates and a gorgeous photo frame from Alicia and Fred and Lee had gifted Y/N with a bottle of wine and voucher from the little boutique at the corner of her street. Y/N’s cheeks were hurting from smiling so much and her heart swelled at the sweet gifts her friends had gotten her.

“Okay, only one left,” Alicia says, clapping her hands excitedly.

“Probably the best one,” Fred whispers to Lee.

“Of course it’s going to be the best one you idiot,” Angelina says as a matter of fact, overhearing the two boys.

George, who is sitting to Y/N’s right, hands over the brightly colour box, trying to hide his excitement and nerves. “Here you go Y/N, happy birthday.”

The box feels heavy in Y/N’s grasp as she places it in her lap tearing off the wrapping paper. Y/N glances around, noticing everyone’s eager eyes on her. She sees Angelina nudge Alicia’s side smiling at each other knowingly. Y/N furrow her brows, slightly confused then draws her attention back to the box. She ripped off the paper carefully and uncover a brown box, no hints as to what is inside.

“Oh my god, hurry up and open it the suspense is killing me!” Fred says impatiently, George whacks him across the head telling him to shut up.

Y/N take off the lid and immediately her mouth gapes open finally seeing what’s inside. She shakily lifts the film camera out of the box and hold it so gently as if it’s made of diamonds and gold.

Small tears prick in Y/N’s eyes, shocked and surprised at George’s gift, it looks exactly like the one her mother had.

She manages to squeak out a small, “you remembered?” referring to the first conversation they had 3 years prior.

George has a small smile etched onto his lips. “Of course I did, I remember everything you tell me. I take a lot of pride in knowing everything about you actually.” He says, puffing his chest out proudly.

“Yeah like what?” Y/N cradles the camera in her arms.

“Well,” George starts. “I know that you hate the smell tequila because it reminds you of your 18th when you spent most of the night by the toilet. I know that you can’t sleep if the room is dead quiet. I know that you love buying plants but can never seem to keep them alive. I know you never wear matching socks because you think it’s a fun way to spice up an outfit.” He finishes smugly.

Alicia and Angelina let out a small aww in the background reminding Y/N of the 4 other sets of eyes watching her and George right now.

“Well there’s one thing you don’t know about me.”

“Yeah? What’s that then?” George counters.

Y/N doesn’t know where she musters up the courage from to speak the next words, maybe from the alcohol buzzing through her body or finally being sick of keeping this to herself for the past 3 years. Whatever it may be, she’s rather proud of herself, ignoring the way her stomach churns.

“That I have a huge crush on you.”

She expected George to laugh in her face before rejecting her gently. What Y/N definitely didn’t expect was him to cradle her face in his large hands, pressing a sweet but passionate kiss to her pink lips. She squeaks in surprise before melting into the kiss, gripping onto his shirt tightly, scared he would slip away.

Much to Y/N’s dismay George pulls away from the kiss tucking a strand of her hair back behind her ear, “no I knew that too.”

“Wha-how?” Y/N stutters.

The attention is pulled to Alicia as she begins to speak, “it wasn’t much of a secret babe. Everybody knew you were crushing on George. Can’t believe it took either one of you so long to do something about it.”

“Little Georgie here spent months trying to find that camera for you as a way to confess his undying love for you.” Fred reaches over and ruffles his twin’s hair who shoves him off.

“Yep, we were all so bloody excited for you to open his presents so you two can stop pining over each other.” Lee adds downing the rest of his drink then standing up. “Right, now the two love birds have finally confessed their feelings. Who’s up for a round of beer pong? Reigning champion here has yet to be defeated.”

“You’re on Jordan, that ego of yours has gotten large enough.” Fred challenges, everyone moving over to the table to set up for beer pong. Leaving Y/N and George alone on the couch.

George wraps his lanky arm around Y/N’s shoulder pulling her into his side, “I hope you’re enjoying your birthday bunny.”

Y/N grins widely, playing with her new camera before lifting it up and aiming it at George. “best birthday ever Georgie, thank you.” She squeezes the button down, snapping a picture of George who is staring at her like she’s the only person in the world.

Y/N is very content with being a background character, she’s quite used to it actually. But for once she doesn’t mind being the centre of someone’s undivided attention.

David Bowie x Reader Platonic Pairing @laneofpennies​ @a-none-bee​ @angelofhell323​

Warnings: none unless you count descriptions of nervousness. And a lengthy fic

Okay, let’s do it.

Was the first thing you said to yourself. At eight am. On a Saturday. In the middle of July. You usually be sleeping until 2pm on weekends since you were usually so busy on the weekdays. Being Englands new up- and- coming musician is all. 

“Ow!” you said as your foot slipped on something and stubbed your toe on the edge of the dresser. You bit back a mirad of curses as you picked up the foul weapon.

Oh.

Sky Heavens- Head in the Clouds. Your first album. Of course. You were lucky enough to get one from the store. Nearly all of the record shops were sold out. You should be happy, I mean sales were doing great, and as for the royalties-

Oh my gosh how has it ben 25 minutes already?!. 

It was a very important day for you.. you were preforming for your first crowd ever. So of course you were excited. but more nervous because, it was your first time. And you had terrible stage fright. And you were doing a duet with David Bowie. Oh you almost forgot.

Your first performance was gonna be Live Aid.

As you tucked in your fancy bell-sleeved bloused you asked yourself a string of questions. For example:

How in the hell did you get into live aid?

What song were you gonna sing with David, er Mr.Bowie?

Were there gonna be high notes? Could you even hit them?

Am i dressing too casual?

Oh my gosh, were going after Queen.

Your final though was punctuated with a hailing of a cab. You felt dizzy after you entered the car so you focused on the horizon, which made your eyes get heavier and heavier until...

“Ma’am this is a cab not a daycare” the driver grunted.

Your head snapped up, wiping the drool off off your chin. You have got to stop making this a habit. You scolded to yourself.

Every time your legs hit the ground of Wembely Stadium, you could feel the muscles in your leg turn into jelly. Your heartbeat is playing the percussion. And your pretty sure that your haven’t taken a breath since coming out of the cab.

You finally taken a breather when you hear commotion coming from the nearest hallway. You saw so many stars you could’ve swore you were in space. You saw Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May, (you couldn’t find John Deacon) Adam Ant was sitting on a couch reading a magazine. Next to him was Elvis Costello sticking straws down his hair, you were about to laugh when-

“Boo!”

“Jesus!”

 “No this is David.” joked a lanky man with blond hair, and a pastel blue suit, matching your all white outfit (with a pale blue headband) making you too look like the color of the sky.

“Mr.Bow- David, hi!” you exclaimed, trying to sound as cheery as possible. 

He hesitated for a moment looking in your eyes as if searching for something only for a moment. “Come into my trailer, i need to talk to you.” he says softly.

You followed him into what looked like a portal to the personification of serenity. There were books piled on top of a small table. A kettle burning on low. With not surprisingly, a pile of teacups littered on top of the counter.  You also noticed (on nosier inspection) small annotations scribbled in the corners.

“Y/N!!”

“YES” you exclaimed, jumping slightly. You have got to start paying more attention to your surroundings.

“Tell me whats on your mind, and be honest” his voice was filled with concern, but somehow still comforting.

You took a breath- seventh one today. And started:

“ I feel like everyone will be disappointed, when they see me. All I ever wanted to do was make music that someone will relate to and find comfort in. And now that I have that, which I am very grateful for, I have to handle the price of fame as well. People put celebrities on pedestals and if they make one mistake in the public eye the pedestal crumbles. And don’t even get me started on the media. And today one of the biggest days in history, and if I do bad, then i will not only disappoint myself but the families in Africa who are relying on me to succeed. And-”

“Y/N” David said sternly “Calm down, you will be fine.” He took a breather and said.” You remind me of myself when I was younger, a shy little Capricorn boy, I just wanted to make music, and the fame tagged along. Its what happens eventually. I just used theatrics to cover up the stage fright.” “Now I just focus on the crowd as if they were one person and give them ll the light I have.”

“As for you when singing Under Pressure with me- while singing Freddie’s part- I want you to take all of the audience’s energy, make it into light and give it towards the sky.” “Give everybody hope.”

Just then you heard.a knock at the trailer. it was time for you to get ready. 

You watched as Queen rocked the show. This was gonna be hard for you to follow up. You felt like this performance was gonna be talked about for decades. You felt pity for the future generations that wont get to see this. 

You watched with butterflies in your stomach, as you saw David perform TVC 15 which bleed into Rebel Rebel. You smiled with fondness, as the corners of your mouth twitched,(which happened often when you’re nervous). When you were turned around.

Moustace, Freddie Mercury.

“Hello, Darling. You’re going up next with Under Pressure, right?”

“Y-Yes ” you were shaking

“ Well don’t fuck it up darling. And make everyone proud.” He said with a smile (that was also in his eyes)

You nodded, and he turned you back around. Just in time for you to be handed a microphone and introduced by David.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage-for the first time ever- Sky Heavens!!!”

You heard more applause than you expected. But then again it was your very first time ;)

You heard the beginning of the song, and you knew you had no time to be nervous as you started:

Mmm num ba de Dum bum ba be Doo buh dum ba beh beh

Then together-

Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets

Um ba ba be Um ba ba be De day da Ee day da- that's okay

So far you have just been looking at the horizon, seeing the sun begin its descent, little by little. 

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets

This is for peace and hope in Africa.

Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours Ee do ba be Ee da ba ba ba Um bo bo People on streets Ee da de da de People on streets

This is for anyone who has felt stress for being themselves

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends screaming, 'Let me out' Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high Pressure on people, people on streets

The sun was setting now, making the crowd look like angels and your outfit dipped in the sun. David was looking at you with the biggest grin on his face as if seeing his child gain confidence. The high note was coming, and you were ready.

Take all the Audiences Energy

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Make it into light

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Give it towards the sky

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn 

Give everybody hope

Why, why, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

That was the highest note you had ever hit. The energy that the crowd was giving you was electric. You felt unstoppable.

Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

David was practically yelling into the mic, as he felt unstoppable with you too.

Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

Because love's such an old-fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night And love (People on streets) dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure Under pressure Pressure

On the final word you hugged David, he shouted in your ear so you hear him over the roaring crowd. “YOU DID IT LOVE!!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU111″

You look over his shoulder to see Freddie Mercury.

Clapping.

For You.

You felt as if there was the sun poured inside of you. As if you were weightless. You found your new home; on Cloud 9.
