Carry On Countdown Day 17: Surprise!

Today’s art is a slight spoiler for the wonderful @monbons’s incredible fic, The Boy Next Door . If you haven’t read it yet, I IMPLORE you to give it a go. It runs the whole gamut of emotions a fic can elicit, from heartbreak to wholesome, dramatic to domestic, sweet and sharp and saucy in turn.

You should absolutely read it.

Have you read it? Yes? Good, then peek below the cut for the surprise…

THE SURPRISE PARTY!

See here the final moments of the fic captured as faithfully as I can manage— I’ve never done an ensemble shot before, but it was well worth it to pay homage to this truly incredible fic and it’s truly spectacular author.

Happy Birthday, @monbons! Thank you for being such an incredibly supportive friend, for helping me get to know more people in the Carry On community, and for letting me part of your creative process and being part of mine. I feel lucky and honored to count you as my friend. I hope you enjoy your surprise!

(PS: if you take a closer look, I’ve tried to include your favorite birthday confections!)

Thanks, as always, to @larkral for the support and advice, and to @carryon-countdown for managing this whole event.

BUNBAZ IS HEEEEEEEERE!

It's my birthday and Halloween and Christmas rolled into one: @monbons's Bunbaz is here.

I didn't think to film the bunboxing, but it would have been a lot of high-pitched squealing from me, and Manwitch going "wow, that's incredibly good." And he is! The goodest!

He visited with his pals.

And the rest of the gang.

He let the littles try on his shoes.

He answered the burning questions:

He even let Mini Bunbaz play with his football.

At the end of a big day in his new home, Bunbaz curled up for bed.

@monbons, I have no words. I LOVE him. Good thing hoodie season has begun where I live.

While carrying Bunbaz around with me all day, and protecting him from a Labrador who fell instantly in love with him, I had a strange sense of déjà vu. And then I realized that before I properly conceived of Bunbaz, before Wayward Bun and Basil Pitch's Diary, I wrote this in Size You Up (7k, T):

Sometimes I think about chewing on Baz. Not even chewing, really, just carrying him in my mouth. (The Wellbeloves have a dog, some kind of retriever, that carries a stuffed rabbit room to room.) I wouldn’t really put Baz in my mouth. Obviously he’d smother. ... “Simon? Why do you have a Labrador tail?" I think of when my wings and tail burst out, of what I most wanted in that moment. Of carrying Baz in my mouth from room to room.

I am Simon, I am the Wellbeloves' dog, and I am living the fucking dream. Thank you, @monbons, from the bottom of my heart.

(Tagging Bunbaz stans @artsyunderstudy, @facewithoutheart, @cutestkilla, @ivelovedhimthroughworse,

@rimeswithpurple, @skeedelvee, and @thewholelemon, because takes a warren and I think you'd like to see him.)
