It's here! I hope you'll enjoy :>
It was too much like the day his mother died, like the day in the cell after Drake. Hands in his hair, breathing slow and forced, as he built walls brick by brick, trying to find some way to accept the reality pressing in on him.
SHE MISSES HER RAT SO MUCH.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💣🦈💣🦈💣🦈
When you can’t get your exy raquet back because “it was used as a murder weapon.”
Poison
…and sleep
Chapter 2 is here! I hope you'll enjoy it :>
“Teamwork,” Nicky would call it. “Friends,” Matt would say, making Neil look like a kid seeing a Christmas tree for the first time. “Bullshit,” Andrew would shoot back, and Aaron dragged his mind in any other direction—he wasn’t picky.
hi!! someone on gr said you've put the aftg extra content in one doc??? just asking if you can share it pleasee?
I didn't do the work, but you can find all the relevant links in this post!
fun facts -- USC: . Had to dig up 2007 course catalogues to figure out where & when Jean's classes would be so I could map him out a proper schedule. Annoyed that Fertitta didn't exist back then because it's a gorgeous building. Also apparently the wheel throwing classes were very different then (one nighttime class vs daytime classes twice a week). Voted in favor of inaccuracy because it's more fun & afternoon practices would make it impossible to attend.
-- Campus sizes: . USC's main campus is 226 acres (.9 square km) . EAU's campus is 456 acres (1.8 km2) . PSU (based off of Clemson ofc) is 1400 acres (5.6km2). Granted that does include a botanical garden that is larger than USC's main campus lol
-- Numbers game . Ye, Renee & Jeremy for the 11/9 date . But also if you write Jean's birthday as 11/9 then he and Nathaniel are the same numerical sequence 1/19 . Bonus: Nov 9 end of the French revolution . TSC had 17 chapters, 12 Jean 5 Jeremy. Ended 108700 words give or take . TSC2 is 22 chapters, 12 Jean 10 Jeremy, and its current word count is about 139000. ((For reference, TKM was ~138600)) This is AFTER I tore out an entire subplot and set it aside for #3 I am going insane
ngl m'lovies, I am.. not feeling optimistic about December anymore. I've spent the last two-three weeks making backwards progress as RL continues to spiral, and I am messing so incessantly with it I have yet to hand it off to ANY of its readers
I love these little list of facts post especially when it's got trivia abt American colleges that just boggles my mind a little!!
And ofc numbers again. As always. The details you put into little things like that are so good and Def noticed and appreciated!!
ALSO! 10 JEREMY CHAPTERS!? Hello yes thank you! We are FEASTING!!!
AND YOU GOT THIS!! ALL WILL BE WELL AND YOU CAN AND WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY!

We're online! Right before the twinyards birthday I present to you omegaverse twinyard canon-compliant fuckery!
It's happening it's happening it's happening, tomorrow is the day I start posting my twinyard omegaverse fic! I truly lucked out with my betas, I want to cry.
To set the mood, here for you the moodboard and a playlist! These are all songs I heard the piano version of on repeat as I desperately worked to finish this fic after 6 years. Surely if I did it then anyone can. Go and pick up that dusty WIP. Expect the fic to come out on Sunday between 8PM and 11PM UCT unless otherwise stated.

Hi!! I'm the one who was complaining about the aftg italian translation - I saw your question, and I'm really eager to talk about it! I haven't forgotten about it, this is just a really busy period for me, but I promise I'll get in touch eventually ^^
Absolutely! My inbox and chat are always open, especially for translation discourse 👀
Hello! Just found out abt your twinyard omegaverse fic 👀 I'm excited tbh! And I do think the fandom is a little bit better about problematic fics or at least there's more ppl willing to tell them to shut the fuck up lol
Then again people did lose their shit over a Aaron/Neil fic a couple weeks back.......but people def came out defending the fic writer so that's something 👍😅
Thank you! I'm excited as well, and the betas are working amazingly and diligently, so I think there's a good chance that the first chapter will be out this Sunday!
I can't believe neron is still causing mayhem in the year 2024. I'm both not surprised and very proud.
I toured the twinyard tag on ao3 and scrolled through some of the comments, and the landscape wasn't the happiest. There were also a lot of happy interactions, but others went in the opposite direction. Kudos to the writers of both public and orphaned works who decided to keep their works up despite receiving hate both on and off ao3.
I just realized that both Beyond Evil and The Devil Judge came out in 2021.
Kdramas really did say: you survived a pandemic, you deserve not one but two ‘barely in the closet by one toe’ dramas about righteous young idealists with daddy issues who come to take on morally ambiguous and charismatically unhinged daddies with horrific pasts and end up taking them on indeed. And on and on.
You know that whole “be gay do crime” thing? The dramas turned it into “be gay, do each other. And some crime on the side.”
I don't think I'd make a good beta reader but I'm excited for your fic! Problematic™, vaguely canon compliant omegaverse sounds great to me. I've literally gone looking through the fandom ao3 tag for something like this and been kinda sad there wasn't much. So I'm cheering you on!
I'm happy to hear that! And judging by what I found on ao3, my fic would also end up being the longest for this ship, so I'm excited to contribute to the tag!
