Hey hey lovelies! Guess who’s alive and kicking!

Sorry for vanishing so suddenly - and thanks for being so patient. A lot’s been happening, so my personal life took priority over writing. That being said, the requests for the fics that have been sitting in my inbox are being written. It has been a while, but they’re in the process of being written and edited, so keep an eye out for that!

But all this to say: since it’s been so long since I have written, I’ve decided to open up blurb requests. These will be to ease myself back into it; so hit me! I’ll write mainly for the Guns boys, as usual, but if you have any ideas, hit me with them! Fantasy? Sure! Want a coffee shop au? Why not! I’ll also be glad to specify the gender of the reader if you wanted, else I will attempt to write them as gender-neutral. (Please note that I will write these blurbs to my discretion, as per the rules of requesting fics. I will not write what I am not comfortable with.)

Hope everyone is safe and well, and that you’re all doing well!

Love you all,

Gem 💕💕

It’s new year for me, so - happy new year my lovelies!!!

It was weird starting this blog back in March (it was a bit of a random decision but I don’t regret it for a second!), but I just want to say thank you all for your support and love. I know that I’ve dwindled in writing, but it’s been a hectic back end of the year for me - but even still, you all still shared my work and commented on it and liked it. That means so much more than you all realise.

Happy new year, and here’s to more fics & moodboards in the future!

Hey, my lovelies!

So - as you all know, I’m currently in the (slow) process of making a moodboard series based on european fairytales (mainly since those are the ones I am most familiar with as a British person). Axl, Duff and Slash are complete, but I’m admittedly struggling with Izzy and Steven. This is where you come in!

If you have any ideas on which fairytales Izzy and Steven would suit, please let me know, in a message or an ask! I’ll be sure to credit you if anyone happens to send one in, and I am slowly but surely making my way through the request list. I’m intending on publishing them all in one go (rather, in succession across a week or two), and then I’ll be opening requests again.

Much love to you all,

- Gem 💕

This was SUCH a wonderful thing to wake up to! I don’t know who you are, anon, but you’re a wonderful person too and I’m proud of you too! 💕💕

Will you do a part 2 to monarch?

Hello! I will do, at some point in the future - I’m currently in the process of trying to figure out who would suit what roles.

Monarch is meant to be based in around the Tudor period (being the 16th/very early 17th centuries), since that is the period I am most comfortable with. Unfortunately, it means there’s a lot of faff due to people getting historical facts wrong (including myself). I don’t want it to be a purely historical series, but my historian heart wants it to be accurate enough that I would enjoy writing & reading it!

Love you babe hope you’re doing well😊

God this is a very late reply, but thank you!! I'm doing great; I'm now halfway through my final year at uni, and I'd like to say I've been successful in finding the time to actually tackle all of my fics and request lists!

I keep forgetting how sweet this community is, and I'm so happy to be able to say that I'm back.

Brb I’m gonna go pass away now

Hi everyone!! Lmao sorry for just peacing out - it’s been wild here. I passed my second year at uni and I’ve been busy reading and doing a lot of wood working (I’m actually tempted to make and sell some band coasters (if anyone is interested we can figure something out!) and I’ve actually decided to write a book!

But oh my GOD? There’s 600+ of you guys?! I am lost for words. Genuinely. I don’t know what to say aside from thank you - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for supporting me and for liking my work and sharing it. Thank you for READING it. I wasn’t in a good place with my writing recently - and knowing there’s over 600 of you who enjoy it means the world to me.

I’m gonna try and write more this summer for you.

I love you all.
