Just wanted to highlight one of the best Sobbe fics I ever read - Croissants by bruisingknees. Sander works in a bakery that Robbe goes to and it’s full of fluff and some very light angst. Any got any recs of other cute fics like this?

you’re my first anon here!! hi!! <33

thank you so much for the suggestion!! i haven’t read it but will read it tonight!! can’t wait!! that sounds absolutely adorable🥺

ok so i’m so very bad at remembering fic that i read (that’s one of the main reasons why i made this blog haha) but i those are super cute and full of fluff too!!

- If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance by allforyoumylove [Robbe and Sander are childhood best friends. They’re also secretly in love with each other. Confessions are made under a beech tree on a warm summer evening at the end of June.] it’s 3 chapters long but it’s still kinda short (14k) really one of my fave!!

- The sun came up and I was looking at you also by allforyoumylove [Robbe and Sander waking up on a quiet Sunday morning in June. Sander is a tease, Robbe is awestruck, and both are hopelessly in love.] i think this one is my fave one shot ever!! extremely cute!!

- Wild Is The Wind by Lwritings [One night Robbe discovers Sander's fear of thunderstorms. Robbe is there to comfort him.] a short one (~1k) also very cute and full of fluff

- and to stay in the bakery theme Those Books in the Corner by @robbesdriesen if you want a cute coffee shop x bookstore au ;)

i hope i haven’t read them yet!!

🎵 What do you listen to while you read? ❤️

Aline, hi! ❤️️

I can’t listen to any music while I read 🙈. It’s too distracting for me and I just can’t absorb anything when there’s noise while I read 🙈

And don't play like you aren't madly in love

Summary:

David gets home from running some errands and picking up a package at the post office to a couple more mentions on Twitter than he should’ve.

It wouldn’t have been unusual to have come home to maybe a dozen new mentions, tops, but to check his phone and see over a hundred new tweets after not having done anything to warrant that? That’s unusual.

Maybe even a little worrisome.

Notes: This is honestly so adorable! Their text/ tweet convos are the perfect combination of teasing, flirty and hilarious. I love how cheeky and sure Matteo is when writing and how shy he becomes when they meet. David spiraling over various things is also so entertaining to read (am I cruel for saying that?) Bonus: the pics of the ‘tweets’ make this a whole experience!

Sneak Peak:

‘Now if I’d known I was dealing with royalty…’ Matteo writes.

‘Then what?’ David wants to know.

‘I probably would’ve been a bit more cautious about teasing you, is all.’ Matteo replies.

‘You mean bullying,’ David writes. ‘Cyber bullying.’

‘Oh that’s quite the accusation!’ Matteo writes. ‘Who’s bullying who now?’

David rolls his eyes and bites his lip to stop from smiling too widely. ‘Still you,’ he writes.

A couple of minutes later Matteo tweets #NicerInternet and #StopCyberBullying. The tweet gets a ridiculous amount of comments and retweets, and some local news outlets write an article about it the next day. David is endlessly amused by that. If they only knew.

I’ve been catching up on your fics (just read the enemies to friends one) and I’m just so in awe over how fun your stuff is to read!! I’m just blown away, cause you have this super interesting way of writing that keeps everything just fun and entertaining but while also layering on The Feelings and ashdl! Just really great! Thanks for sharing with the world!

oh geez, thank you so much!! you’re such a good writer! this is such a huge compliment like you have no idea. your stuff is out of this world!! shambles is just iconic and twnety-nine is like one of my fav fics- just ever, and i could really turn this ask into just a rant about how good of a writer you are. like this is just very shocking and very nice and this is very cool

[antiiquities]

For the fandom ask: A L I N E 😂

Ahaha yes, I love it! <3

A - Your current OTP

OH man I have so many. But I’ve been watching season 2 of Runaways so I’m gonna say Deanoru! (Nico & Karolina) I love them so much. They’ve been so sweet and tender this season, though they’re in a bit of a rough patch right now.

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

Hmmmm. Probably a short and sweet drabble that is all fluffy and nice, since a lot of the shows I watch are filled with angst LOL. As for fanartist, a modern take on any of my otps/favorite characters. I love all the modern looks artists come up with.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Oh jesus, YES. The 100 is definitely one of them. Marvel to an extent in regards to Tony. So I’ve really stopped paying attention to fandom for The 100, and only follow people I enjoy, so I can watch the show in peace! Because I still love the show, and on the Marvel end, I would die for Tony Stark.

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Don’t Wake Me, I’m Not Dreaming by @grumpybell. It’s a Bellarke fanfic that is beautiful and heart-breaking and angsty all at once. Just…guh. So much love for it.

E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Nope, never lol. I’m not good with humorous kind of stuff like that, so my contributions stick to fanfics, whenever I do write them.

send me fandom asks!

Married at First Sight    

Author: bruisingknees

Summary:

It’s 1:00 in the morning on a Wednesday when Matteo, quite spectacularly, falls off his bike.

The icing on the cake is definitely that, on this otherwise deserted suburban street, there just so happened to be another guy passing by on his bike. Just Matteo’s luck that his swan dive was witnessed. He feels even luckier when this guy actually takes the time to stop and ask him if he’s okay, instead of leaving him and his embarrassment be.

Notes: this is super funny and everything we’re used to from this author. They have adorable conversations and I absolutely love the setting.

Sneak Peak:

“My husband was just telling me,” David says, grinning at Matteo, “that he hopes you have fun bandaids.”

“Sorry,” she says, looking up at Matteo apologetically. “I’m afraid they're just these boring ones.”

“That’s fine,” Matteo says, looking down at what she’s doing so he doesn’t look at David and give him the finger.

“I might be able to get you guys some lollipops though. If you sit still and are good, of course,”

“Oh, he can be very good if lollipops are at stake,” David assures her.

Matteo does roll his eyes at him for that.

twenty-nine

Author: bruisingknees

Summary:

Matteo is convinced most people get their first love out of the way when they’re teens cause this shit is almost impossible to combine with an actual adult life.

---

Or: David and Matteo meet for the first time when they're 29. David has a niece he loves dearly, and a weird dog he looks after sometimes. Matteo has a crush on his new neighbor.

Info:  10k | Mature| neighbour AU, fluff

Notes: this is pure fluff, no angst, no drama, just fluff. and if that’s not fluffy enough for you: David also has a very cute niece and a dog! I loved experiencing this fic in Matteos POV!

Sneak Peak:

“Oh, hey!” David’s coming down the stairs just as Matteo’s closing his front door behind himself.

“You’re going out early,” Matteo says, just to have something to say that isn’t a remark about the outfit David is wearing. He’s got on a muscle tank top deal, and running shorts. It's a lot to take in this early in the morning. Matteo’s not working at full capacity here, and that’s a lot of skin on display.

“Going for a run before work,” David says.

“That’s the most unrelatable thing I’ve ever heard you say,” Matteo kind of blurts out.

David chuckles and asks: “Why are you going out so early then?”

“Going for breakfast before work,” Matteo says. Then, unexplainably, he adds: “You look it, though.”

“Unrelatable?” David asks.

“No! No, like you run. Like you work out – you look, uhm, you look fit like you work out.”
