WHO ELSE MISSES GMW ON THIS FINE DAY

[stabbymcgeee]

do it. riley wouldn't be riley if she didn't have at least one kpop playlist

i am now officially obsessed with the idea of riley being into kpop. i did not need this. 

[stabbymcgeee]

thinking about it, i think riley will get into kpop 

[stabbymcgeee]

i’m going off topic for a bit. but i was handed this thing at work and it was related to kpop. idk know stuff about it so i asked somebody about it and said i should just look into twitter. so i started looking into girl groups bec this thing at work was related to a song that has like.... a fruit????? in the chorus???? 

and i was so into it lmao so now i might be obsessed i still dont know who sings it. i cant find the person who was playing it at the office. and there are so many things that come up when you search fruit song on twitter lmao im a mess

im not even asking you guys im just sharing the start of my wonderful journey to this thing

HOLY FUCK I just read your entire fic (as somehow I’ve missed it) and Jesus man. That was so angsty but I love it??? The style and the way maya and Riley act around each other oh my god. And the cliff hanger??? I was practically on the edge of my seat waiting for Maya’s response! You are an amazing writer and keep up the good work

Hi anon, thank you for reading! This message made my day :)

“Riley, when was the last time you spoke to Maya and meant it when you said you can’t wait for her to come home for the summer?”

“I always mean it when I say I can’t wait for her to come home.”

Isadora nods like she isn’t buying any of it.

“Let’s go for a walk,” Isadora suggests, her voice hinting the slightest bit of enthusiasm.

“I don’t want to,” Riley sort-of whines. She really doesn’t want to.

“Come on,” Isadora prods, standing from her seat. She walks until she’s standing right in front of a pouting Riley. “She’s been worried about you, you know.”

“Maya?”

Isadora nods, “She told me you haven’t been yourself lately. I mean, considering everything, it’s probably normal that you’re not acting like yourself but it’s probably different and maybe—”

“You’re rambling,” Riley interrupts before the girl runs out of breath and passes out. “I’ve done my best to act normal, you know, considering the circumstances. I did everything right. I answered all her calls, did Facetime whenever she wanted to. I laughed at every joke she cracked. I don’t know what gave me away.”

“She’s Maya,” is the only thing Isadora says.

Riley looks at her, releasing a heavy sigh. She stands up, defeated, “Okay, let’s take a walk.”

Please please please don’t take another year to update heartlines I’ll do anything!!! (But also take your time, writing is a creative process and I don’t want to rush you!)

uh, im with you there. i wish it doesnt take me that long. i won’t make promises for chapters 11 onwards. but chapter 10.... chapter 10.... is somewhere. existing.

[stabbymcgeee]

it blows my mind that you wrote this fic on riley's pov alone. i mean, i would kill to know what's going on in maya's head but that's the work you're allowing us readers to do. I saw the show and there are so many non verbal declarations of love there from maya's end and it you manage to piece it all together in riley's head in this fic. finally an interpretation. and you added grown up stuff they do in uni and it's amazing to go on this rollercoaster with riley. gosh youre a great writer

I’m actually crying? Thank you <3 i’ve gotten a message about the choice in pov before and yes, it’s by design that this story is told on riley’s pov. i think it’s going to make sense soon why. (it’s for all the rileys out there who might be going through the same thing.)

[stabbymcgeee]

I will sell you my liver for Chapter 10. I would chew broken glass if it meant THEY END UP TOGETHER ASAP

Lmao, anon!!! Keep your liver where it is! Patience is the key :D

[stabbymcgeee]

I just died. I read it at work and I’m in the restroom trying to breathe normally. That’s how good and scary it was. I felt like I was there. I don’t know how you do it but every time you do it. Wow. Thank you for updating. I’m going to cry into my pillow at home later. 😭

Thank you for reading, anon! And don’t cry! It’s all a process for everyone. There are going to be better days.
