Hello! Just dropping in to tell you that I follow your goodreads and you are my go-to for new book recommendations. I also sometimes panic when I come across a book that seems super interesting but you haven't read it and I'm like, "BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT???" Anyway, I read Hart and Mercy (LOVED IT and hope there's a sequel someday) and The Ex Hex (enjoyable but lacking in some areas and also it's totally Emma & Killian). Now reading Kiss Curse! My point: BIG THANK

hello, hi, yes, i love this. listen, i read—a lot. like summer 2020 happened and 1999!era laura rose from the depths of my soul and was like TIME TO READ EVERY BOOK WE POSSIBLY CAN IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF SANITY.

and now that i'm pretty much watching college basketball non-stop and spending most of my free time on team busses, i'm reading (somehow) even more??? (and reading occasionally trashy books, like, 20 feet away from a bunch of college kids. i know no fear or shame). but the basic gist of this very long intro is that:

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING THE BOOKS BASED ON WHAT I ENJOY AND MY RIDICULOUS/RAMBLING GOODREADS REVIEWS. IT'S VERY NICE AND HART AND MERCY MADE ME SOB. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THAT VERY WEIRD, DECIDEDLY LOVELY BOOK.

agreed on the ex hex, but i am willing to overlook a lot of plot 'ish for some good banter and both books in that series have had top tier banter so far.

at this point, i will read...pretty much anything if there is kissing in it. my kindle unlimited algorithm doesn't know what to do with me.

(also: everyone please come tell me what you're reading. let's talk about books. and kissing in books. it's my favorite thing. aside from maybe my basketball team winning today. or the rangers winning tonight. top-3, at least.)

Alone, Until I Get Home by: phthalo

Summary: In Boston, Henry Swan's six-year-old brother Ian finds a book titled "Once Upon a Time" hidden beneath the seat in their mom's old yellow bug. As soon as Henry touches it, he remembers.

Season 3 Canon Divergence-Emma finds out she's pregnant a few weeks after she and Henry leave Storybrooke with new memories and new lives. Nearly seven years later, another Dark Curse puts her family in danger, and Emma must return to Storybrooke to help them.

Who's powerful enough to cast the Dark Curse? And how the hell is she going to tell Hook they have a son together?

Chapters Completed: 55 of 55

Part 1 in a series

Ok I don’t know where to begin, my graphic wasn’t good enough for how I feel about this one. This was where I learned that I didn’t know I needed them to have a son nicknamed “Ian” but omg this kid!!! And this fic. One of my FAVORITE curse fics. I can’t even tell you how many times I read this one and the rest of the series!

Someone sent me this so I'm sending it to you because it was ridiculously fun: What would the Little Pirates' Pokemon be?

I WAS SEMI-PREPARED FOR THIS QUESTION!

Not that I was expecting it but I THOUGHT about it okay? Like I had their teams picked out like a year ago? When I started playing PoGo for awhile. A lot of my decisions on their teams are based on animals that I relate to their core personalities and what they’re doing during their adventures. So, like I associate bears with Harrison and he spends a lot of his major character arc in Agrabah so his team is like bear and desert Pokemon per example. I don’t like region locking Pokemon so I didn’t put a lot of thought into that, just an FYI. However, please excuse the shittiness of these Pokemon trainer cards. The sprites are kinda awful.

Okay, as started before, I associate Harrison a lot with bears, hence why he has an Ursaring, Pancham and Munchlax. I don’t see Harrison as much of a fighting trainer. He just likes them around for company, so he doesn’t really work to develop them. He sees them more as family/house Pokemon than battlers, hence why his team is a bit underdeveloped. He likes caring for them, not training them. With that being said, his first Pokemon was a Piplup which got a ton of fighting experience because his siblings demanded to battle, so it’s evolved and tough as nails, and now an Empoleon. That Empoleon is fierce has hell and should never be underestimated. It rarely loses battles because it’s so used to being fought by Beth’s Swampert and Wes’s Delphox. He picked up his Garbite and Darmanitan in Agrabah. The Darmanitan is a pain in the ass and constantly wants attention.

I associate Wes a lot with dark Pokemon and foxes, hence why the majority of the Pokemon on here are dark category related. He has two fox Pokemon and they’re Delphox and Zorua. Zorua is his latest addition and was a present from Bobbi. The Delphox was his first Pokemon ever and they were pretty close until the Absol came along.  The Absol was discovered on an adventure between Wes and Gideon, and they both kinda nurtured it back from a terrible state so it’s horribly attached to both of them, with a preference for Wes. The Delphox and the Absol don’t get along well. However, the most pain in the ass Pokemon Wes has is his Crawdaunt, it refuses to stay in its ball and gets very crabby with Wes when he doesn’t train it or use it in battles as much as it wants to. The Greninja and Hydreigon he’s also had for a long time and are often well used in his pranks, especially the Hydreigon, because he needs to get the fuck away.

Who is surprised that Beth has an all-water team? Nobody? Good. She’s a fucking pirate, of course she’s going to have a team that works well with her profession. Her first Pokemon was a Mudkip from her father which has since evolved into a Swampert. He is her most trusted and most powerful Pokemon alongside the Gyarados, which was a present from Henry. She’s been training him since he was a Magikarp. Wes used to make fun of it until it evolved. Though, the Gyarados is a bit of an idiot but he’s her idiot. The Vaporeon is the most spoiled thing there is and is more of a lap pet than a battle Pokemon. The same with the Totodile, which she loves to affectionally insult. She found him with a bucket on his head and took pity on him. The Sharkpedo and the Kingdra she found on her various high seas adventures and she often uses them as scouts when raiding ships.

Ned’s team is such a mixed bag, but it’s a product of his living in and outside of Storybrooke and in the real world. The Blaziken was his first Pokemon and it’s the one he’s closest to. When he was a Torchic, he used to sleep in Ned’s bed and occasionally he still tries to get a cuddle in with Ned, but now he’s too big. The Granbull and the Eevee are from Storybrooke. The Granbull was originally a Snubbull given to him by David and the Eevee is a poor lost soul left in a box outside the police station, and Ned immediately got attached to. He refuses to have him evolve. The Bisharp and Golem were found in New Jersey during college. The Golem is surprisingly really affectionate and it sometimes weirds his girlfriend Hazel out when it begs for a cuddle. The Cubone was given to him as a joke by his baseball teams since Ned is a bone head, but they’re good friends and Ned totally taught the damn thing how to hit baseballs with its bone as a bat.

Rose Gifts Her Friends for the Holiday Season (8/∞): @peglegsjones

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Ashley! You are a fantastic person and if there was anyone I would do a fanfiction crossover fic with, it would be you! Especially because your Ian and my Wes would make quite the double trouble team. (In fact, I was thinking of your loveable devil when I was making this aesthetic.) Although you rooting for the wrong sports team, you’re a pretty swell gal and I’ve really enjoyed the conversations we’ve had over the past several months!

So I was thinking that Ian and Wes would probably keep some inter-dimensional door open between their two realities, and visit back and forth for a night of drinking. Things usually end in a brawl, probably because Ian and Wes started it between themselves, but when others try to intervene it immediately switches from Ian vs. Wes into Ian and Wes vs. everyone in the bar. Neither of their families are happy about any part of this arrangement. Anyway, hope things are going well with school! ❤️

I’m actually missed these fun scenarios. And oh my god, they would definitely brawl. (And Wes would probably start most of them because he has a talent and a knack for deliberately pushing people’s buttons.) I just can imagine on person trying to stop it and then punching one of them in the face, and then immediately the game just changes and the dude really wishes that he just had kept out of it in the first place. And they have a habit of frequenting the same place so the bartender is just like “when will you people ever learn to let those two just fight amongst themselves.”

Of course, you’re right. Neither family is happy. They send Harrison in to break it up. It ends well for no one. I just imagine the two of them trying to drunkly tackle and failing miserably and Harrison is just like “why me.” Beth makes Jackie popcorn and they both bond over the fact that their brothers are knuckleheads.

And thank you for the well wishes. I just finished three exams last week and I’m just exhausted. Naturally the new term is just starting. I don’t feel refreshed in the slightest and just want to lay down and take a nap. But alas, gotta get back into the groove. At least this term, I only have two exams and two papers.

Hope all is well with you, love.
