Pitch Valentine's Gift Exchange

[pitchsecretadmirers]

An Announcement

Hello there, Pitch fans! I hope you’re all doing well. 

I’ve had such a blast running this exchange the past five years, but unfortunately, I will not be able to mod the 2022 round of Pitch Secret Admirers.

This doesn’t mean PSA has to come to an end, though! If anyone else would like to step in, I’d be happy to hand the mod reins over. Or if there’s interest, I can run a lower-commitment event around the same time, something like a prompt fest or a fandom week.

No matter what, I’d like to thank all past participants for making this event such a great experience. It’s been a joy!

Unstoppable

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day, @missyriver!

Summary: Mike Lawson is a former MOTO GP racer whose skyrocketing career came to a screeching halt after a terrible accident. Now, he's the Crew chief of Al Luongo's world famous team. Ginny Baker is the newest member of the team, a racing rising star contending with her father's legacy and the racing world's doubts that a woman can win the Grand Prix. Mike and Ginny clash at first but after spending countless hours of training and hard work she proves that she's got what it takes, getting her closer to the title and maybe even the heart of her crew chief.

Stolen Moments

Hoping @fivelittlebirdies has a terrific Valentine’s!

Summary: It's been over three months since he last seen her. Since he had touched her smooth warm skin. Heard her laugh or cry out his name.

Three months to pull himself back together to get back the strength he lost life.

He no longer had the job he was supposed to be doing. The career he'd thrown away and his only regret was the loss of more time with her.

She was like no one he had ever met before. She stole the sun and blazed across his world setting it aflame.

“People write stories about you,” Stubbs says. “Like, erotic stories.”

“Please tell me you didn’t read them,” Ginny says, narrowing her eyes at him.
