I think if aziraphale got his hands on ao3 or just fanficin general he would ethier be totally disgusted by it or indulge himself in it like that ox ribs.
Day 6: hello pumpkin. So I forgot a p... but don't we all pronounce that word a little different? Punkin is one of my favs. 😅 It has too many syllables otherwise. 🎃
As someone who has a mental model of spelling that's very phonetic, I'm normally fine with homophones. Rain/Reign? Made/Maid? Deer/Dear? Fine! I have long since memorized the two spelling, and I can logically reason about which one to use.
But fuck "Steven" vs "Stephen". The words are spelled the same and mean the same thing, the only way to make sure you get the right one is to look it up. Like if I'm talking about writer Neal Stephenson, I know what his name is. I can name most of his books off the top of my head. I could have an IRL conversation about him just fine. But in my mind his name is stored as the sounds "Neal Stephenson", which are exactly identical to the sounds "Kneel, Steven Son".
So I have to look up if his name is Neal Stephenson or Neal Stevenson EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Sometimes when I'm sad I buy myself flavoured toothpaste. Because who cares if I'm over five years old. I can feel the sweet taste of strawberry on my tongue instead of burning it with minty freshness. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

When a fire-wielding vigilante starts tearing her way through Orynth, Detective Rowan Whitethorn is tasked with putting her behind bars. He doesn’t know who she is, what she looks like, or what she wants. But the one thing he does know? She’s his mate.
i picked this up on a whim and next thing i knew it was 13 chapter in lol
this modern AU has definite urban fantasy vibes (if you like the 'hidden legacy' series by ilona andrews you'll love this!!), immaculately written characters, next-level mutual pining, suspense! intrigue! THIS HAS IT ALL unfortunately including some very evil cliffhangers lol and you should definitely give it a read :)
