I just want to confess real quick that some time ago I spent the better part of a week reading your fic “i can’t be wrong (to be craving you)” and it altered my brain chemistry. It’s soooo beautifully written and I still think about it at least once a day. THANK YOU so much for that wonderful fic.
That being said, my confession is that it hit me like a truck when I finished it and went back to the ao3 page I found it in only to realize that when I came across the fic I was looking for jemily rated E with strap ons LMAO
Anon, I love you. This is so lovely. I'm glad your filtered search led you to i can't be wrong (to be craving you) ! (Hell yeah Jemily + Straps)
"it altered my brain chemistry. It’s soooo beautifully written and I still think about it at least once a day." This is the highest praise and I am truly humbled.
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know how much you loved that fic. If possible, I would also appreciate if you could leave a comment over on AO3 too! (Even if it's on guest) Because a post like this will get lost on my blog, but a comment on AO3 stays in one place forever. <3

What I've Been Reading:
Why I Love It: This whole Tenelope series is superb, but this fic really blew my mind. I loved everything about it from characterisation, to the dynamic between Tara/Pen, to the absurdly mind-melting sexy smut. Aces all round.

Tara/Emily/Reader || Rated: G || WC: 2413 Author: DAlexandriaG16

Tara/Emily/Penelope || Rated: G || WC: 1756 Author: alreadyacccepted
Why I Love It: A very wholesome fluffy fic. I adored seeing how Tara and Penelope took care of their partner and how happy Emily was to go to the fair. Just tooth-rotting fluff!
Tara/Emily/Penelope || Rated: G ||WC: 2151 Author: sweetmidnights
Why I Love It: I'm such a sap for a wholesome OT3 fic and this one ticks all the boxes for me. I adore the way the relationships between these three are written. I love seeing the different ways they comfort each other. This is one I've read multiple times.

Season 17, Episode 10 "Save the Children" (2024)
god bless whoever in the costume department decided her arms could no longer be contained
Introducing the newest expansion of the Fooled Around (and Fell in Love) Series:
WC: 15,800 || Rated: Teen
Primed for Love is a four-chapter prelude, set before the events of Part 1. This new expansion serves to tell the back stories of the pivotal moments which led to the intertwining of Will, JJ, Tara, and Emily's lives.
Chapter 1: William LaMontange Jr
After his relationship falls apart in New Orleans, newly single Will moves to DC at his best friend's suggestion. Derek then decides to play wing-man to help find Will the perfect woman.
Chapter 2: Tara Lewis
Upon joining the BAU, Tara finds out she doesn't have the capacity for both her job and her relationship. Good thing she doesn't mind being single.
Chapter 3: Emily Prentiss
Things fall apart between Emily and the married woman she's been sleeping with. In an Autistic burnout tailspin, she turns to her two best friends, Spencer and Luke, for comfort.
Chapter 4: Jennifer Jareau
JJ and Will buy a house together and despite her ongoing claim that she never wants to get married, JJ realises maybe, just maybe, Will LaMontange is her forever.
A/N: I am super excited to finally share this with everyone. This is quite different than the rest of the series, but I have been thinking about writing backstories for a long time and I think this prelude hits all of the joyful beats the series does. Huge shout out to @gaelic-symphony @swpf @phantomhag-666 for letting me lament and throw ideas around for this. I'm so grateful for all of you 🥰
