realizing that for the rest of my life I will never hear Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere without thinking of Bach AU

did not realize I still had Animorphs feelings that could be activated until I saw a headline about a TV series in development but I guess you never forget your first fandom

thinking about this fic more than ever btw (it’s possible I may have tricked myself via fic writing into making violet one of my favorite characters???)

unfortunately my migration of fic drafts to proton drive has been stymied by a lack of comic sans

endeavoring to use this for fandom purposes again so my main commentary about #bridgerton s4 so far is that someone seems to have watched Ever After (complimentary)

a weird little personal fic tradition I've latched onto is that I mentally assign a different josh ritter song to each finished fic I write. the giant 95k WIP that haunts me has never had one, but "wild ways" came out today and feels exactly right

hello, I wrote a thing. specifically a superstore fic I started seven years ago. it’s never too late to finish your wips: archiveofourown.org/works/65562514

A screenshot of an AO3 fic titled “back to you my heart went skipping” by firstglances (amalin), posted 14 May 2025, in the fandom Superstore (TV). The tags read, “No Archive Warnings Apply, Jonah Simms/Amy Sosa, Amy Sosa, Jonah Simms, Post-Town Hall, Character Study, Discussion of Pregnancy, Discussion of Abortion, No Actual Decisions, First Trimester Exhaustion, Getting Together, Sex.” The fic description is an excerpt:

"Let's just go," Amy says. She's pretty sure her shirt lost a button when Jonah yanked it open, and she can only imagine what her hair looks like. There's a bruise forming on her back where she backed up into the counter, and all she can think about is Jonah's mouth warm on hers, the look in his eyes when he leaned in and tugged her underwear down over her hips, how close they really, actually came
to—

"Walk of shame!" Marcus starts to chant as she turns to head toward Glenn's office. "Walk of shame! Walk of shame!"

"Jerry says good luck," Sandra calls after her.

Amy refuses to dignify either of them with a reply.

anyway if you remember which fics converted you to a ship, what were they? (most of mine I came to on my own or from following friends, but there are a few fics that solidified certain ships for me, namely honey_wheeler's "the summer queen" for jonsa and everything edwardina wrote for glee)

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

woke up to a comment telling me that my fic, which they read back in the pre-ao3 days, was the very fic that had once made them like that ship so much, and if there's a higher honor out there I don't know of it

wrote the ending (bc I constantly write out of order) and made myself cry, if anyone's wondering how it's going

A now falls asleep better to singing than shh-ing so I’m back on my bullshit (singing ATWTMVFTV on repeat as a lullaby multiple times a day)

A text exchange that says “took one full All Too Well 10 min but he finally fell back asleep lol” and the response “Good job”

big queer family life in which I'm the only one currently working means coming downstairs from work yesterday to find a chappell roan toddler dance party going on and now getting a stream of text updates as the entire fam minus me is test driving a minivan

how long could we be a sad song, etc etc (I’m fine!)

A screenshot of a bright yellow Spotify Wrapped visual with a photo of Taylor Swift looking pensive on the cover of the single “You’re Losing Me (From the Vault)”. The text reads, “Your top song was You’re Losing Me (From the Vault) by Taylor Swift. You were in the top 0.05% of listeners globally.”

recently reread this and fell in love all over again, and have also been thinking about mango pie ever since

two months ago I decided to change a 90k wip from past tense into present tense and now I’m afraid I want to change it back

the most embarrassing wicked-related development possible has unfortunately occurred, which is me listening to the glee soundtrack again, I should be shamed to the ends of the earth (but I still unabashedly ship ***/**** so ✌️)

crying over the paperwork that will allow my partner to take care of our kid if something happens to me then crying over more mono-poly relationship discussions, isn’t it fun how queer relationships contain multitudes

hello bluesky, I barely go here anymore (here being bton fandom) but I started writing this in a post-partum haze last spring and it’ll probably never make it out of the drafts so here’s a small snippet!

White text on a black background that reads:

It’s not sudden, how fatherhood changes Anthony Bridgerton, but across the span of a few conversations, it happens all the same.

1.

The early rays of the rising sun glance off the building across from their hospital room, an alchemizing touch to every one of its windows, and Anthony stands there watching with Edmund in his arms, taking stock of himself.

He’s always been skeptical of claims from new parents that the experience transformed them unrecognizably, given how shaped his own life has been by the existence of children who were never his own. And yet, with his own baby about—here he checks his watch, which even now he thinks of as his father’s—two hours old, he feels a little chagrined. He’s not completely unrecognizable to himself, not noticeably dissimilar to the Anthony who mopped Kate’s sweat-soaked brow only hours earlier, or the one who ushered her into the hospital the day before. And yet he also doesn’t feel the same. The weight of his son, swaddled in his arms, isn’t anything he hasn’t felt before, but the weight of the word it bestows upon him is a different matter entirely.

He’ll have to pass the watch he wears on to this baby someday, he realizes, looking down at the circumference of Edmund’s tiny wrist, barely bigger than his thumb. It sounds nonsensical, unfathomable, and for some reason that’s the thought that finally makes his eyes sting with sudden emotion.

Edmund is two hours old. Someday he’ll be eighteen years. Nothing makes sense. Anthony’s been awake for close to forty hours, so maybe that’s why.
