chapter one : down the rabbit hole (11k words)

Right on the edge of the forest where there was a road you weren’t supposed to go near. You had gone out to find stones to paint when you came across her. ]

chapter two : beware the jabberwock (15k words)

[ You don’t sleep well after your dream.

Just staring up at the ceiling until the sun is starting to shine through the windows.

Not that you’ve been sleeping well recently to begin with. And Joel suddenly feels less safe, the grip of his arms around you feels more like it’s trapping you rather than protecting you. ]

chapter three : we're all mad here (11k words)

[ “It’s okay, it’s just me.”

Joel, Joel, Joel.

The only thing that consumes your thoughts. ]

chapter four : painting the roses red (11k words)

[ “Joel…” You give him a wary look as he bares his teeth at you, a low rumble starting in his throat as your instincts kick in. “Joel!” You yell like you would if you were scolding a dog and he freezes in place. ]

chapter five : i'll decide where to go from here (6k words)

[ “C’mere, bunny.” His stubble brushes against the back of your neck, his mouth is warm as you feel a kiss placed against your spine. ]

halloween is only a day away! if you’re looking for something to get you in the spirit here is a fic i wrote a few years ago!

happy haunting!

where i've been, where i'm going.

｡･:*˚:✧｡

hello lovelies!

soooooo...... i was gone for like two months. weird. i don't really have a good excuse for what happened it was just a lot of change in a short period of time and i needed to get used to it.

i realized the job i was at was making me miserable. i didn't want to do anything i enjoyed. all i wanted to do when i wasn't working was lay in bed, it was a bad place for me to be but that had been my job for six years and i'm 22.

so i put my efforts into finding something i wanted to do and last month i started my new job as a preschool teacher!

for the last month i have been miss lexi! (first name reveal, i will still be using my pen name though lol.) and for the first time in my life i actually like my job. with the new job, it took me a few weeks to settle in. even though i love it, it did leave me extremely tired (and sick but that is to be expected lol) for a while. as of this last week, i have finally started to get my energy back and i am so excited that i finally have time for my hobbies.

here's the part that is actually relevant to my writing and the future of my updates.

i loved writing. and i still do. this is not me quitting or no longer writing.

but in order for me to continue loving what i do, i need to write what makes me happy and what i am invested in. which is why i think it's for the best that i put every now and then on hiatus.

i loved working on and writing it but a lot has changed in my life and i just don't think it's right for me to work on right now, i don't know when i'll start it up again or, if i'm being completely honest, if i'll start it again. i will try to at some point but for now in order for me to start writing again it needs to be something that i am 100% invested in.

so what does that mean for what ill be posting????

i dont know!

but i know that i'm going to start writing again. at my own pace, and it will be something i love and i hope that you all love it as well. it will still be pedro because i cannot out grow that man lol but i'll just have to see where my writing takes me. i'm hoping to have something new for you all within the next week but i'm not going to rush myself, i do my best work when i don't put pressure on myself and if i am making and sharing something i want it to be the best thing i am capable of.

i love you all, and i'm incredibly grateful for everyone who's checked in on me and i hope that i can continue to create enjoyable stories for all of you. <3

I have received so many sweet and wonderful messages from people checking in on me and I cannot emphasize enough how much i genuinely appreciate it. (even if i dont deserve it after disappearing for so long without warning.)

My life changed very drastically in a short period of time and I wasnt prepared for it. I will respond to everyone and post an update this weekend <3

i love and appreciate you all.

Hope you’re doing ok 🩵

i luv u rain 🩵

ive been hiding in my shame bc i thought id be able to get that chapter out but i just started as a preschool teacher and finished my first full week and im coughing up green at this point bc my littlest got me sick as a dog. i will find my balance and find my time for writing. i just need to find time to find the balance lol. but im doing great other than the fact that i feel like i have the plague lol

my sweet lovelies every now and then ch 3 tomorrow thank you for your patience <3 i started a new job this week and ive been all over but im gonna sit down and finish it tomorrow

sike! tomorrow bc i made it too long again

ch 3 is going well

Not sure if you celebrate it, but how was your Easter?

(sorry im so late to this!)

i do but i didn't get to this year lol

i got to do easter morning with my nephews but my brother got really sick so i took him home, we'd been out of state staying with our aunt so i spent my easter driving but tbh it wasn't so bad

What are princess and din up to??? if you're okay with me asking lol/

always ask me about them, i love them dearly and miss my sweet babes lol.

they're very happy with their littles and they go on a lot of holidays!! i do think that they call it quits after five kids lol, but they are well in my mind palace lmao

Are they about to have a post-apocalyptic custody battle in enat? 😮 It sounds like a crazy idea, but in a place like Jackson where people are living and not just surviving I could see stuff like this from Before occuring there. Jackson has a sort of judicial system by having a council so it's not too far fetched. Everyone seems so scared of Joel. But I bet at this point Ellie has started to change him for the better, and he probably would want to have time with his babies to the reader's dismay. Just a guess.

a lot of very good points being made here ;) while i have no plan for an apocalypse custody battle it is definitely going to be a difficult situation lol.

ellie changing joel for the better is actually the hardest part for me to write because i want him to be a genuinely terrible person in the past and also sort of redeemable after?? but i sort of believe there is a line where a person cannot come back from so i'm trying to ride that line lol and it's difficult for me to gauge it sometimes.

my sweet lovelies every now and then ch 3 tomorrow thank you for your patience <3 i started a new job this week and ive been all over but im gonna sit down and finish it tomorrow

serious apologies for vanishing again!!

i swear i am not abandoning my fics or anything i have just been going through a really crazy time right now. i got hired for a job im very excited about and ive been running around to get all the certifications and trainings done for it and its left me with absolutely no free time! i miss writing very much as its my main creative outlet but when everything is done i’ll have soooo much more free time. <3 i start my new job next thursday and after that im hoping things will settle down but ily all and i have anons and so many things to go through when i get a chance to finally sit down lol but thank you all for your patience i know ive been inconsistent for months now but now that i finally have a clear path ahead of me im excited to finally start writing again <3 <3
