pairing: Frankie Morales x f!reader
summary: All you wanted was to get to Austin, but instead of your brother, it's Frankie (Santi's best friend, the one you can barely stan) who shows up in Dallas. He's just doing your brother a favor, but the trip takes an unexpected turn when a stop puts you face to face with your ex; the guy who broke your heart three months ago and is now about to get married.
A Haunted Body by @capuccinodoll
pairing: Jackson!Joel x F!reader

Unfortunately for him, Tommy assigns you to work by his side, as the assistant he claims he doesn’t need.
family matters by @millermouth
pairing: joel miller x you x tommy miller

What started as a selfless plan to bring new life into the world slowly unraveled into something messier, more intimate, and impossible to undo.

dividers by @uzmacchiato
(usually i use their red ones but this color is just so pretty that i had to switch it up)
so as a little passion project, i decided to make this companion lookbook (in google slides format) for my fic. it includes extra lore for characters and the story, as well as different collages of pictures that help better paint the world, themes, and motifs of the plot. i had a lot of fun being creative with this and i hope readers of this fic enjoy it 🖤
With the help of some lovely moots I've put together a rec list of future classic Pedro character fanfics. You know those fics that you read ages ago, but you think about every so often even years after you read them? These are some WIPs or recently finished fanfics that are sure to become Classics. 💫
I've divided them by character. If you read any of these please like/kudos and Comment! That's the best way to help turn these WIP into the classics they will one day become (and maybe even get a sequel or two😉) It's hard to tell if it's a real person or a bot in a hit count these days so interaction is the only gauge to go by for writers. If you don't know what to say you can just tell them "This feels like a future classic!💕" - You can even copy paste that.
We're starting with Din in honour of this being Mandalorian and Grogu month ...
Din Djarin
An Unexpected Meeting by @keeshya6 -A long running WIP and personal favourite of mine. A princess saves Din's life and then Din returns the favour... unfortunately for both of them it comes with strings (or chain codes) attached and reader becomes Din's slave. They navigate their feelings and power dynamics, as well as raising a tiny green baby together. Also, reader is a badass.

Country Roads by @itsjuststardust - Din isn't in Navarro anymore but he might be in ...Kansas? Din is dropped on a nurses truck by a tornado in middle America. Reader can't quiet believe he's an alien with a little green baby, but she takes them in anyway. (I mean who wouldn't?).
Losing My Religion by @oonajaeadira - Set post season 2, a Mandalorian comes looking for F!Jedi/Healer Reader with an assignment from an old friend, sending you on a mission and a union that you both need. It's soft, it's tender, the world building and the characters are so well written. I loved losing myself into that story.
Payment by @annwrites24 - Raised as a servant to reader's half-sister on her home planet of Nharia, she find herself married to the king of an ancient warrior race, who happens to be a reluctantly wed Din Djarin. Their union is set to keep the peace between their two peoples. Could this arranged political marriage ever be anything more than loveless treaty?

The Boyfriend Act by @capuccinodoll - Frankie x f!reader - A beautifully Frankie story.

Missing TBA a bit too much these days and I started listening to @dontlookatme121's playlist. Can I just say, this is such a well-curated playlist. Lev your taste in music is amazing! Some of the songs are so spot on for certain chapters. The overall flow of the playlist definitely reflects the story as a whole. Thank you for this joint slay Augustine & Lev! 💓
Oh I absolutely agree. I love it so much 😭🤍 it makes me so happy when u guys do playlists and all that. @dontlookatme121 we love u and your music taste and the way you managed to reflect tba 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
ahhhh im so so happy you both enjoy the playlist and that @sesdeuxyeux is listening to it!! i love hearing that you think the songs fit the story (and tbh it’s kinda in a random order, so im glad they ended up flowing well lol.)
and THANK YOU for the compliment about my music taste 😏 i appreciate you guys and am feeling inspired to go update it with some more songs (it’s not like it’s already excessively long or anything)…
today im thinking about new girl s4 e6 (background check) when the sergeant asks “what’s all that clanging?” and nick responds “oh it’s just a bunch of clanging”
