Hello Erin!

Frankie has one band teeshirt that has holes at the seams and is practically transparent in places. And yet. He won’t get rid of it. What band is it for?

Hope you’re having a wonderful day.

❤️🐾.

hiiii :D

ohhh i'm so glad you asked! on my playlist that i made for frankie, i filled it full of music i see him listening to and he gives me very strong classic rock vibes. that being said, i've been raised with a man that is very, very deep into the classic/prog rock world (my dad) so i'd say i know a lot adjacently lol

i'm gonna say this faded, very well loved band t-shirt he refuses to get rid of is from the only time he got to see Rush live in concert. it was january of 1994 in san antonio when he was still in the military so it's super important to him

i'm gonna say it's this specific shirt because it's got all the tour dates on the back!

i'm also making this canon to my fic itbotn:

River raised a brow, looking at the faded, well-loved shirt Frankie was wearing. His broad back was hunched over the stove as he cooked some vegetables. "Counterparts?" They asked softly, hand rubbing along his back.

Frankie smiled, spatula moving over the diced peppers and onions. "It was the only time I got to see Rush," he shrugged, turning his chest so they could see the design on the front, just as faded and worn. "I was still in the military."

"A rabbit on top of a turtle?" They chuckled.

He furrowed his brows slightly. "Rio, respectfully, you don't question Rush," he said seriously, lifting a finger and waving it back and forth.

River blinked, eyes wide. "Yes, sir," they snorted.

Hello Moth!

For the end of the year asks, I'd love to know your answers to 14 and 22.

Thanks! ❤️🐾

Thanks for the ask, love!

14. Something new you tried this year

Well, I really tried to publish Nine Lives on a schedule which isn’t something I’ve done with a series for a few years. It didn’t go to plan but I did my best!

22. An idea you had that didn't make the cut

So many??? I was really trying to make a Mr and Mrs York (Mr and Mrs Smith au) work but it didn’t come together. Alas! I probably have 10 fic ideas for every one completed fic.

Em, I’ve really appreciated your cheering me on this year! ❤️❤️

Hello hello!

Popping into your inbox for the Asknado. 🫡

If someone wanted to start reading your writing, which three fics would you recommend they start with and why?

Cheers.

Hello!! Oh man. It’s kind of a rare occurrence that I post fic these days but somehow over the years I’ve really racked up a lot so this was a tough question! I almost presented you with a flight of Frankie but I’m going to throw in an Ezra fic as well:

Down to the Roots (Frankie/gn!Reader, rated teen) just absolutely sappy tender hot single dad and baby fic. Exactly the kind of thing I like to read and write.

A Pilot for Christmas (Frankie/f!Reader, rated mature) more hot single dad Frankie but with a little more humor and sauciness 😏

In So Many Words (Ezra/f!Reader, rated mature) in which Ezra is a bit of a stray cat. Not meant to be angsty but someone did say this made them cry (oops).

Thank you! 🥰

Hello Betty!

Happy weird period before the end of the year! I hope you're full of cheese (or whatever deliciousness you would rather be full of...phrasing?).

For the EOY asks, I'd love to know your answers to

5. A scene you enjoyed creating

9. A work from a creator you keep coming back to

26. Something that inspired you this year

Merci! ❤️🐾

Thank you Em! Not only for the questions but the delicious charcuterie option of a wet-haired Joel that I will be digging into! 💕

5. A scene you enjoyed creating

I had a fun time in October imagining how Frankie came to be the owner of his Standard Oil cap in October x 20 - Sweater Weather.

9. A work from a creator you keep coming back to

I answered this one previously here - however, here's a couple more...

26. Something that inspired you this year

I answered this one here - however, I really can't stress enough the importance of consuming other media to help with creativity. I've been struck by a lot of influences this year that have really helped my writing and getting out of a major rut.

Hello Erin.

I have a question for you in honour of Happy Pedro Hours.

Pero Tovar has bought a ticket for a private four-hour time travel tour of 2024. You are his tour guide. What's the itinerary?

Cheers! 💚

in four hours?? oh, man, okay.

i live in the pnw so i'll probably take him up to seattle for a bit so he could see pike place. then again, he doesn't strike me as the type of person that likes a big crowd of people...

maybe i'll take him to a nearby island town and send him to all the local food places and look at the scenery together! you could easily do that in a couple of hours.

this was a cute one, thank you!

A first sentence for you:

After the third time they passed the same tree, she stopped, clenched her fists, and jumped, hoping that it would release some of the frustration she felt at her companion.

After the third time they passed the same tree, she stopped, clenched her fists, and jumped, hoping that it would release some of the frustration she felt at her companion.

“What are you doing?” he hissed as he turned around to see her three steps behind looking up at the large tree.

Clementine sucked in a deep breath, “We’ve passed this same fucking tree three times now, you said you knew what you were doing.”

“I do.” he looked at the map in his hands, “It's just that this terrain is—”

“Well Morales, you seem to do a better job navigating the skies than you do the ground,” Clementine interrupted, her voice laced with impatience. “Give me the fucking map and let’s get back to base.”

Thank you @tinytinymenace! This one had me thinking and ended up being a fun one to complete! Thank you! 💚 x
