“Shawn!” You almost yell in excitement when the call connects. He had been at the studio all day and would be until much later that night but you couldn’t help and call him to spill the news.
“Hey baby, is everything okay? You never call in the middle of a session.” Shawn replies, worry laced through his every word.
“I’m fine, more than fine actually. Just wanted to call because I have a question and wanted to ask you before you got home.”
“Hm?” He hums sweetly, letting you know his full attention is on you and you can hear him trying to shush the team around him in the studio. A giggle slips past your lips as you glance out the floor-to-ceiling windows that put Toronto’s stunning skyline on display.
“There’s a meteor shower tonight and I was wondering if you’d want to go watch it? I can pick you up right from the studio and we can drive out to Pickering so the sky’s a little clearer because there’s no chance of seeing anything in the city.” You ramble excitedly, unable to catch your breath while explaining the plan.
“Love, that sounds amazing but I don’t have anything here with me that’s good for watching a meteor shower.” Shawn chuckles adorably, his smile evident even in his voice.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll pack some warm clothes for you, get dinner and meet you at the studio. Plus, I’ll share the blanket with you.” You tease, knowing Shawn knows exactly what you’re talking about.
“Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse.” Shawn says with a laugh before continuing. “You’ve got yourself a date, baby. I should be done by ten so I’ll see you then?”
“See you then, bubs. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
After the call ends, you grin widely and begin making a mental list of things to pack. Shawn’s favorite gray hoodie, snacks, the fuzzy blanket you both love so much that it’s been named “the cuddle blanket” and found the menu for the restaurant down the street to order dinner for Shawn.
In a few hours, you’re in the car with everything necessary for a night of stargazing including a hot chocolate for Shawn. The drive to the studio is full of joy and screaming along to your favorite songs which makes the time pass even faster. By time the sky is dark and the stars are peeking out, you’re parked in front of the building waiting for Shawn.
“Sweetheart!” Shawn exclaims the moment he pushes through the front door and jogs over to the car. The biggest smile is on his face, cheeks rosy with blush and nothing but pure adoration is radiating off of him.
“C’mon, get in!”
Shawn immediately opens the passenger side door and slides into the car. Without a moment of hesitation, he leans over the center console, softly cups your cheek in his hand and kisses you deeply. For a few seconds, the rest of the world falls away only leaving the two of you lost in love for each other.
“Hi,” Shawn mumbles after breaking away from your lips and resting his forehead against yours.
“Hi,” You giggle in response.
“I believe, according to this really beautiful girl that I love more than anything, that there’s a meteor shower waiting for us so we should get going.”
With that, you start the car and pull out of the parking lot to head towards Pickering. Before you know it, Shawn’s hometown was passing by the car’s windows. The feeling of home envelops you and you can’t tell if it’s from the familiar place or Shawn’s hand in yours while driving. A new spark of joy courses through your veins as you arrive at the empty park that always has the most perfect view of the sky.
Silently, you hand Shawn his hoodie from the backseat and hop out to gather the rest of what you had packed for the night.
“You really did bring the cuddle blanket!” Shawn says happily while helping you unload the snacks and his dinner along with a few pillows.
“Of course, can’t break a promise. And who said I didn’t want cuddles tonight?”
Shawn snatches blanket and runs to the open field. He spreads out the picnic blanket you brought to sit on while waiting for you to lock the car. The night was peaceful, a stark difference from the city, and couldn’t be any happier to be her with the love of your life.
The stars and space have fascinated you since you were younger and Shawn immediately loved stargazing with you. It quickly became a tradition to watch all the rare moments happening miles above in the dark sky together. Whether it be looking for a shooting star, finding a planet on a particular day it was really visible or a solar eclipse. A meteor shower is really no surprise but more special with Shawn by your side.
“Come ‘ere.” Shawn whispers lovingly, holding his arms open for you to snuggle up next to him. As soon as you rest your head on his shoulder, he wraps his strong arms and warm blanket around you.
After leaning up to press a gentle kiss under his jaw, you cuddle in closer to him in an effort to soak up his warmth and the feeling of safety.
A small, content sigh escapes your lips as your eyes look towards the sky. Millions of stars twinkled brightly as the moon illuminated the Earth in its beautiful glow.
“The stars look especially lovely tonight.” You murmur so softly that Shawn almost misses it.
“I swear the stars twinkle just for you, love. Every time I look at them without you by my side, they’re never this bright.” Shawn admits, his voice soft and your heart practically melts.
Before you can respond, a flash of light crosses through the sky. A falling meteor. Shawn audibly gasps and squeezes you closer, watching the cosmic magic I fold before his eyes with you in his arms. An unstoppable grin blooms across your face as several more meteors fall, creating beautiful streaks of light in the darkness.
“It’s so pretty.” Shawn says quietly, almost as if he’s scared to break the moment.
“Always is under the stars. Meteor showers are no exception.” You whisper with a small giggle, leaning your head on his shoulder again to focus on the astonishing sight. And as what seemed like thousands of meteor fell right before your eyes, you knew this moment with Shawn is going to be one you remember forever.
Hi everyone! I really got the writing bug with this one and created it in under 24 hours! But I really love how it turned out!
I know a majority of you come onto here to escape the craziness that is the world we are currently living in (because I know I do). However, I am going to preface this by saying that this fic does feature aspects of the pandemic and its effects, so if this isn’t for you that’s more than okay!
However, as a high school senior I recently found out that schools in my area will be closed for the remainder of the school year. Although I am confident that it’s the best choice in order to keep us all safe it has really sucked to know I won’t be able to experience some events like prom and graduation. Therefore, this was very therapeutic for me to write.
I’ve also stolen some lines from @kerwritesthings #SMFicRecFriday fluff blurb challenge she did like two weeks ago. Sorry I’m so late lol but I thought I’d tag her and then give her a shoutout for all the positivity she tries to spread on here! Thank you so much, K!
I also highly recommend listening to “Stuck With U” by Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande while reading, it features in this fic, and I listened to it a lot while writing it!
Lastly, this isn’t an au!shawn but he is like two years younger in this to fit the story better, so work with me on this haha!
Okay enough rambling, enjoy it!! Feedback is always appreciated xx

Just like the rest of the world you were dealing with the effects caused by the Coronavirus. Quarantined at home, distance learning, sanitizing anything you bought, wearing a mask anywhere it went. It was tough, but everyone made sacrifices in order to keep the world safe, so you had no problem obliging.
Additionally, you were pretty lucky to be quarantined with your boyfriend, Shawn. When things had gotten really intense in regards to the pandemic you two had been in Hawaii celebrating your three year anniversary. You had been dreaming to go there for years, and were completely shocked when he gifted the trip to you. Being a senior in high school a staycation at a hotel in Toronto would’ve been extravagant enough for you, but you should’ve known at this point with Shawn: if you mentioned you liked something it was only a matter of time before he gave it to you.
Anyway, despite having the time of your life with the love of your life in Hawaii you both agreed that cutting your trip short was the best choice so you wouldn’t risk being stuck so far away from home. However, in order to protect your families from anything you guys could’ve been exposed to during your travels, you and Shawn decided to quarantine at his apartment for two weeks.
Due to his hectic work schedule and your school schedule, those two weeks were the most time the two of you had physically spent together in the past year. It consisted of many pillow fights, movie marathons, crashing Shawn’s Instagram Lives, doing fitness videos together, and trying to explain your social distancing Spanish homework to Shawn. It was crazy to you, while the rest of the world was becoming virtual, the one person who you had mostly seen on a computer screen this past year was the only person you physically saw anymore.
You two had enjoyed your time together so much that after your two weeks of quarantine you had pitched the idea to your parents to continue living with Shawn in his apartment. You both knew it was a long shot, but by some miracle they allowed it. No one was going anywhere, and they knew how hard it was for you to see each other in general, so they decided not to keep you guys apart. You had lived with Shawn for about three months now and you fell more in love with him every single day.
However, that didn’t mean that it was always easy. The pandemic had brought out the worst of your anxiety and many of your days were filled with breakdowns and your nights left sleepless. You felt like your emotions were on an endless rollercoaster ride, constantly up and down. Some days were a struggle, but Shawn became your rock and you couldn’t love him more for it. Living together, rather quarantining together, meant you saw each other every moment and all you both went through. However, your relationship grew and strengthened immensely from it all which only made the future that much more promising for you.
Things took a turn last week when you received news that your school would not reopen for the remainder of the school year. As a senior in high school this meant no prom or graduation. You had suspected this news was coming for quite some time actually, but hearing it announced officially made it a reality in a truly heartbreaking way. You agreed with the decision as people were going to be staying safe because this was happening. However, although you couldn’t be more thankful for your health, it sucked that you wouldn’t get to experience those once in a lifetime events that you deserved to have.
The only dance your school held was senior prom, so that was going to be your first and only time at one of these events. A lot of people told you that in the end you weren’t missing out on much, but that wasn’t fair because you still wanted to have that experience for yourself.
You had bought your dress way before the pandemic started, and were obsessed with it. You had kept it a surprise from Shawn. He had cleared his schedule for the date of your prom so he would’ve been able to go with you. You wanted to do a big reveal for him when he came to pick you up at your house.
Shawn had been to countless black tie events in his career, but this would be the first time you would be able to attend an event of this caliber as a couple. You just wanted a night where you could get all dressed up and slow dance with Shawn like the world around you didn’t exist, but that just wasn’t going to happen anymore.
You knew there was nothing anyone could do, but you were still disappointed. However, life goes on and time heals. They always did. You went on with school work and continued to follow the routines that you and him had set up for yourselves now that you were living together. This included getting takeout every Thursday. It saved you guys from cooking a meal and it supported a local business, so neither of you could complain in the slightest.
Usually both of you would go to pick up the takeout, but you had elected to go by yourself this time. You were having a really tough day, and spent most of the day feeling incredibly sad. Therefore, you hoped a drive would help clear your head. Shawn double checked that you didn’t want him to come along, but didn’t push it like he normally did, sensing you needed the space. Although you would rarely did not want Shawn’s company, you were grateful he took matters into his own hands on this one.
By the time you made it back to the apartment building you felt like you could breathe easier. You weren’t feeling anywhere near one hundred percent, but knowing that you were going to spend a night with the love of your life free from any pressures or expectations from the outside world felt like a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.
When the elevator doors opened to your floor your attention was immediately brought to the fact that you could hear music playing from within someone’s apartment. This was pretty rare as in the three months you lived here your neighbors had been nothing but respectful in keeping the peace with one another. However, your confusion turned to shock because after walking down the hallway you realized the music was coming from Shawn’s apartment. His apartment was the last one at the end of the hallway, so you felt slightly embarrassed that it was so loud that you could hear it from the elevator.
As you stood in front of your apartment door “Stuck with U” by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber was blaring. You and Shawn had been asked to feature in the music video for the song so they had sent it to you a few days ago so that you could dance along to it for the video. You filmed for it yesterday, and it was the most fun you’d have so far in quarantine. You were both so obsessed with the song that it had been playing on repeat for the past few days.
Once you had managed to get the door open you immediately called out over the music, “I can hear the music playing from the elevator! As much as I approve of your song choice I’d rather not get kicked out due to noise complaints!”
As you took your shoes and mask off you continued, “also, this song hasn’t been released yet, so I think it’s a bad move if we share it with our entire floor. I’d like to stay on Ariana Grande’s and Justin Bieber’s good side please and thank you.”
Once you had finished talking you looked up to see where Shawn was and nearly dropped the food at the sight in front of you.
Your entire room had been transformed from what it was before you left. The couches had been pushed to the side, streamers were hung around all the walls and windows, there were balloons covering the entire floor, other balloons floating in the air, and a disco ball that hung from the ceiling, reflecting fragments of light back onto the entire room. You had noticed four balloons in particular, probably the biggest balloons you’d ever seen in your life, that spelled out “PROM”. Standing in the middle of it all, illuminated by the view of the glittering Toronto skyline at night time in the background, stood Shawn in a tuxedo with a nervous smile plastered across your face.
After sensing that the shock of it all left you speechless, Shawn finally spoke up. “Happy prom, Y/N.”
You still couldn’t believe what you were seeing so you said the first coherent thoughts that came to mind. “I was gone for twenty five minutes?”
“I had decided to throw this yesterday, so I pulled a few strings to get the decorations in time, but we got it done. As soon as you left it was just a matter of moving the couch and setting it all up. I didn’t mean to make the music so loud, I’ll go turn it down. I just wanted to make it seem like you were really walking into prom. After what you said yesterday while we were filming for the music video I knew I had to do anything I could to make this perfect for you.”
At one point during filming yesterday you and Shawn simply held each other and were slow dancing while the song played in the background. You had told him that if you closed your eyes it felt like the two of you could be at prom together. You had also told him that you wished you could really be at prom together. You should’ve known better. Saying anything along the lines of “I wish” was all the fuel Shawn needed to put a plan into motion for you.
You placed the food on the table and made your way to Shawn, carefully wading through all the balloons. You were speechless already, but seeing Shawn in a tux up close utterly took your breath away. You’d never understand the power he had to make anything he wore insanely hot.
You gently grabbed his jacket in your hands and looked up to meet his eyes, fearful that any moment you were going to wake up from the best dream of your life.
“This is..” you started, already scrambling for your next words, “so amazing. I wish I had more to say than ‘thank you’, but I honestly have no words to describe what I’m feeling right now. When I wished for this the other day I was in no way implying that you should do this.”
“Oh I know,” Shawn reassured you. “I was planning on doing something like this ever since prom was officially cancelled, but I took what you said yesterday as my sign to get a move on it all.”
“Also, you look incredible in that.” You said, motioning to his tux. “Another string you had to pull? Either way it makes me feel super underdressed in my sweatpants!” You giggled.
“Actually no.” Shawn responded. “Every now and then Tiff gets me sized for a tux, and has me keep them in all the places I’m staying as sort of a “last resort” for any fashion emergencies. Although this isn’t an emergency, I couldn’t think of any more occasion more fitting.”
“As for you,” he continued, “You are always the most gorgeous person I know regardless of what you wear, but your prom dress and shoes are hanging up in the bedroom. Don’t worry, I promise I didn’t peek!”
“You have my prom dress?”
“Yeah.” Shawn said, blushing. “After I took you home after our two week quarantine so you could get more clothes to bring back to the apartment I asked your mom to give me all your prom stuff. Like you I feared that you were going to lose prom, so I wanted to have everything I could at the ready for a Plan B. I know I told you I was going to drop you off at your house so I could get some stuff at my house, and I did stop by to see my family, but I really went to bring your dress back here and hide it!”
“This is unreal,” you breathed.
“Well you better believe it! Especially with the amount of times you almost stumbled upon it…” Shawn trailed off leaving you to wonder where he has been hiding it all this time. “Now I don’t want to rush you at all, but I really can’t wait to see you in this dress. Plus, we have pictures to take!”
“Pictures?”
“How could we not have pictures? It’s prom!” Shawn exclaimed. “I had Josiah and Connor overnight our little setup in the kitchen.”
You looked over to see a gray backdrop set up in front of a camera. Before you had a chance to say anything else Shawn continued.
“The backdrop wasn’t too difficult to set up, but I have to be honest. I have no clue how to use that camera. It’s a miracle I got it on that stand tripod thing. Who knows if I’ll be able to get it off. I’m not saying we won’t get our pictures, but we might have to phone a friend to make it happen.”
“Well I guess I’ll leave you and the camera to get to know each other while I get ready!” You said giggling as you walked into the bedroom.
Laying on the bed was you dressed in it’s blue garment bag and next to it was a shoe box that held your ambitiously long heels and your earrings that were a family heirloom.
As you put everything on it, it wasn’t nearly as perfect as you planned, but it didn’t make it feel any less magical than the first time you tried all of these pieces on together.
You didn’t take too long to get dressed, but as you walked back into the living room you were still looking yourself over, smoothing everything out.
“Well we never had time to get the dress altered so that’s why it’s way too long. You know my hair styling skills are limited to pony tails, so that’s why I left my hair up. I know I don’t usually wear makeup, but I was expecting to put on something for prom. I was also planning to have more time to practice walking in these heeee-” you cut yourself off as you nearly almost fell over. Thankfully, Shawn caught you.
“Woah, woah, woah. I’ve got you. I’ve always got you” Shawn said, steadying you in his arms. “Forget everything. You are so beautiful, Y/N.”
Your heart stopped. This was by no means the reveal you had planned for, but it was arguably far more perfect. You couldn’t help yourself from blushing. “Thank you.”
“I’m not kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone who looks as lovely as you do in my entire life. I guess it’s my turn to be speechless. You are literally a princess. I am so lucky.”
“Well I guess we’re both lucky then.” You smiled. “Should we go take some pictures?”
“Actually I have one question I’d like to ask you first. May I have this dance?” He asked, guiding you out into the center of the living room.
“I would want nothing more.”
It wasn’t anything special. He held you and you held him. You two were just swaying in an endless circle. Between the skyline that shined in the background, the comforting scent of Shawn’s cologne, and the sound of Shawn’s heartbeat and the notes of all the love songs he had queued up, you were convinced that this was the happiest moment of your life. “Stuck with U” even came back around. Shawn had set up his phone earlier to record the two of you, both to have for the memory and for the music video if you wanted to use it.
You don’t know how long you two had been dancing there like that, but you didn’t care. You were willing to stay there as long as your feet would allow it. Nothing and nobody mattered right now except for you and him, and that’s exactly how it was supposed to be.
For what felt like the first time in forever, Shawn spoke up. “I know this isn’t the prom you deserved, but I promise to spend the rest of forever giving you all of me in order to keep you happy. I love you so much, Y/N.”
Once again, you didn’t have the right words to express that this was way more than the prom you deserved and to promise him that you would always remain a source of his happiness as well. But you decided a kiss would sum up exactly what you were feeling. And as you leaned in you knew that everything you’d ever want or need from life was standing right in front of you.
Taglist: @fallinallincurls @mendesficsxbombay @imaginashawnns @turtoix @adelaidestreets (Please let me know if you want me to be added or removed!)
This was another incredible idea from @kerwritesthings and I was tagged by @fallinallincurls @theshawnmendesstorycollection and @curlsofshawn (which are all talented writers so if you haven’t checked them out already please do).
I’m really embarrassed to say that I have 9 WIPs right now, but only 2 of them actually have any writing to them. The other ones either have one or two sentences written down, a list of ideas, or simply the words “I don’t know I’m not feeling it right now.”
The first WIP though that I’m really proud of and I hope one day I get to share it with everyone is another Shawn AU (which I have a feeling you’ll be able to guess what AU after the snippet), but I’d give more details the closer I get to finishing it which sadly I don’t think will be anytime soon. I have a feeling that it would be a series (crazy ik) or it would just be crazy long, but I’ll cross that road when I get there:
“What are you possibly doing clinging to the wall? Get in here!” your heart rate was picking up at the fearful thought of this breathtakingly gorgeous boy that was scaling the walls to give you flowers falling to his presumed death. You reached out a hand in an attempt to bring him inside your room, watching as his eyes averted from your own to the peace of ivy one of his hands was clinging onto. “Please just take it, I’m afraid you’re going to fall.” With one last look at the ground far below him, he lifted his hand up to lay flat against your window sill, hauling his tall frame up into your room, while you did your best to keep his grip steady as he did so. Letting out a final huff he slid into the grandeur that was your room, brushing off all of the dust the stone had left on his clothes. “Care to tell me why you were scaling the palace walls outside of my room?”
“Your majesty, I swear I had no intention of causing any trouble,” the handsome man stuttered, “I was only wishing to bring some joy into your day.” As he stood in front of you, you were finally able to see him fully, from the brown mop of curls on his head, to his honey brown eyes, to the way his long sleeve white shirt was covered in dirt and accentuated his arms perfectly, the small bit of chest hair peeking out making your heart swoon.
“I must say, you completed your goal,” you smiled at him, walking around him to grab the hydrangea that had made its way to the floor amidst the commotion. He tensed up the nearer you came to him, watching with careful eyes as you placed the flowers with the others. You cocked an eyebrow at him when he stood in place, arms as stiff as a board on his sides, “Are you afraid of me?”
The next WIP is part of a request I’m working on, but I have not gotten far in it at all. I’m hoping though to crank out some more requests this weekend though and I have a feeling that this will be the first one I’ll focus on:
The light autumn breeze felt cool against your fingertips as you leaned out the window of Shawn’s jeep. Your best friend, Elizabeth, and Brian were sitting in the back seat, relentlessly flirting, while your other friends, Ally, Carter, Stephanie, and David were all crammed into Carter’s truck behind you. The eight of you hadn’t been able to fully get together as a group since high school so you had decided to rent a cabin in the woods and go camping for the weekend. It was an extremely spur of the moment move and not a lot of thinking went into it, but nevertheless here you were, practically in the middle of nowhere in the heart of Canada’s woods. “We’re here,” Shawn sighed with a smile on his face, relieved to be getting out of the car after driving for over 2 hours.
“Thank god,” you mumbled, getting out of the car to stretch your limbs. Elizabeth was your best friend, you loved that girl to death, but if you had to listen to her laugh at another one of Brian’s jokes like they were the funniest things she’d ever heard (which they never were), you would rip your hair out of your head.
(that’s literally all I have written for it oops, I thought there was more)

#SMFicRecFriday - 6.26.20 Edition: Hit Me (Baby) One More Time Fics
omg so @sinplisticshawn tagged me in this and i totally forgot to do it sgsjsjsjs
i have a really poor memory so i really struggled to remember any fics that i just keep rereading but the only one that came to mind was lost by @harryandmolly because it is just one of my absolute faves. shawnblr has a criminal lack of pegging fics and this one is just... *chef's kiss*. it's just so fucking good and so well-written, and i just love it
The lovely Kayla @lights-on-mendes tagged me for this ages ago and I’m just doing it. Thank you very much! Also, big shout out to the one and only @kerwritesthings for her #SMFicRecFriday idea! I admire you way too much, thank you for spreading the love and positivity. I hope it all comes right back to you!
The first Shawn Mendes piece I ever wrote was Break With Tradition, and I did it to take part in @sinfulshawn's halloween-themed writing fest. It was the push I needed, since I was reading a lot by then and I really wanted to test how rusty my writing skills were.
I read the prompts and the idea came to me in a flash. It took me a while to write it, mainly because I was uneasy about every single word and sentence I came up with. But, to be honest, I really like how it turned out. I go back to read it more often than not. And I ever wrote a sequel to it some time later!
To keep this rolling, before the new #SMFirRecFriday, I’m gonna tag @theshawnmendesstorycollection @wholesomemendes and @watchmegetobsessed although they might have done it already.
Happy Friday y’all - we kind of made it through yet another week! Cheers to that! Let’s celebrate the little victories as we can.
So for this week’s funday Friday, as it seems we’re still some uncharted waters around this neck of the interwebs, I changed it up a bit yet again. Here’s a virtual high five that I’m calling My5.
I’m giving some love to 5 writers/fics and I want to get this circling through folks so I’m gonna ask 5 others to do the same, and let’s get this moving through.
@harryandmolly - so Molly is the first blog I found exploring this place. Her works are the first I ever read and one of the very first Shawn blogs I followed. Her writing is just sheer perfection. I read Like The Back of My Hand straight off, then literally went through and devoured her entire masterlist in like 2 or 3 days. I adore Complicit of course, but do have a special place in my heart for Lydia in When The World Stops Turning with @achinglyshawn.
@smallerinfinities - I found Alex because of Molly. Think she was number two on the follow and binge reading list over the summer. First thing I read was Woodshed, holy hannah oh my sheesh. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of her masterlist which is just a plethora of goodies from sweet to steamy. She’s also an awesome human who I have come to adore and respect a great deal.
@evansweaters - I could roll around all day in Sami’s talent. Full stop. Sunkissed is one of those pieces where you feel like you’re there, and let’s be honest we want to be. Crescendo is another stunner. Her balance of detail and care with the level of hotness is goals. Masterlist is worth a perusal. She was gracious to chat for last week’s funtivites as well.
@heywritersblock - I have waxed poetic about their writing before, and I’ll do it again. Perfect is one of my most favorite fics, I have it saved everywhere, if I need that dose of something, I know I can get to it and go to it and feel. Her other Shawn work (it’s a two parter) is also a wonderful piece of work.
@illumecherry - this girl has a GIFT for striking the most stunningly captured visuals with words. I am, as I constantly tell her, forever upset I missed her first foray of words. However, I am beyond grateful for what I’ve been able to feel with her latest offerings. I know she’s taking a break, which I can absolutely respect, but I would be remiss to not share my love of her writing, her works and her talent here.
I had initially wanted to include this one fic about Shawn in the studio trying to get through a block in recording and the producer (a new girl he started working with, she’s in a yellow dress damnit!) comes into the studio and naughty ensues - but can’t find the bookmark, can’t find the author. If y’all wanna help me here, bonus funday Friday fun.
Going to ask the folks I shouted out to take part aaaaaaaaaand I’m tagging following 5 folks to share their own My5!
Make sure you either reblog from here or tag me in your posts. I want to share, reblog and show the love as much as I can.
A special thanks and shout out love to my girl Bre @fallinallincurls (who if you haven’t read any of her stuff GO HERE pls k thx) for being the sounding board to my insanity through all this because sometimes I need someone to tell me I’m not batshit cray with wanting to spread the love despite what the climate is around these parts.
#SMFicRecFriday - 6.26.20 Edition: Hit Me (Baby) One More Time Fics
it isn’t friday anymore (sorry) but couldn’t pass up another amazing idea for fic rec friday from the very best @kerwritesthings!
typically, when i reread fics, i binge masterlists so i don’t specifically go back to certain fics but they’ll most likely be found again when i read through an entire masterlist like it’s nobody’s business.
some of the ones that i can reread to this day, love more than anything and still make amaze me even if it’s my tenth time reading it are all by some of the most incredible blogs on this site.
@elvisp521 has one of my very favorite masterlists because everything she writes is truly just blows me away because it’s THAT good!
@curlsofshawn is another insanely talented writer and i frequently go back to her masterlist to binge all her work for often than not. there’s just so much to love and each fic is fantastic.
@wholesomemendes‘s masterlist is just a work of art. everything she writes becomes a new favorite of mine and constantly gives me all the feels whenever needed which is something i really love.
and @watchmegetobsessed writes the most incredible fics so her masterlist is also another i go back to because most of her fics hold a place in my heart. between all the emotions and different plotlines, reading through her masterlist is always a good idea.
there’s probably so many more masterlists and individual fics that i visit again and again to read over but can’t think of right now and you’re all doing the most amazing job! this site is home to so many crazy talented people and we’re so lucky to have you share out work with us!
