hello Faye! Firstly, sending you all the good vibes 🫶 hope you’re doing okay
secondly, it is currently 20 minutes until my birthday and I have been made to feel not-good by somebody, so instead I am coming to your page to see my birthday in with a fic 😂
Even though your muse is taking a pause, your existing works still brighten others’ days and I hope you know that
-yearning nonny (yearning for a wrapped up B.B for my birthday tomorrow cos GOD I need it)
Hi lovely!
First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎉🎁
I’m so sorry you were made to feel not good, but I hope you can have a wonderful day when you wake up, spending time with people who love you.
It’s so kind of you to come to my page on your special day and to leave me such a heartening message. What a lovely person you are 🫶. I hope you enjoy whatever you read. I’m so sorry there isn’t new content.
If I could package up BB and send him to you I would lolol. But here is all I can do, Funko BB wishing you a great birthday (from my bath) 😬😂
Anyway, much love to you. 🫶 Best wishes for the year ahead and many happy returns!! 😁🧡🧡
also for Benedict smutty headcanons contribution (I will blush as I type and send this)
I see him as being a bit obsessive - not in a creepy/stalker way, but when he’s intimate with a partner that moment is the centre of his universe. He is fully focused on doing whatever it is to bring his partner pleasure, he cannot stop watching their face and working at them going over the edge - or something I’ve picked up from a couple of your fics, him pleading with them to go over the edge. Like that is his enjoyment too.
He is a very dedicated lad and when it comes (no pun intended) to the person he adores, it grows tenfold
-yearning nonny 😳
Hi lovely!
Oh this for sure is Benedict. Excellent headcanon you have there 🫶
He is, what I would refer to as hyper-focused, on his partners pleasure during sex and it’s definitely what makes him find his “pinnacle” too lol. He is by nature in tune with the needs of others after-all.
He is definitely looking for telltale signs in their face and their body about what works and what doesn’t. Committing it to memory for the future as well. He definitely begs them to come when he is teetering on the edge himself cos he doesn’t want to come before they do. So he will deploy everything he can - tongue, fingers, cock, his words- to ensure they are not left wanting.
Also, no need to blush my dear, we all (especially women) need to unlearn a lot of the shame we carry around talking about sex and pleasure. I hope if nothing else my silly word crimes stand to remind people of such.
60: In (insert fic here) what inspired the idea for the plot? For When The World Is Free, cos it’s SUCH a unique idea and I adore it. Also for Transitions for self indulgent reasons, him doing a triathlon is specific (and I adore it too)
43: Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet? (Side note I saw you toying with the idea of a mistress plot, would 100% read that if you wanted to write it)
75: Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn’t expect?
-yearning nonny
Hi lovely!
Ooh thank you for the questions 🥹🫶
60: In When The World Is Free and Transitions what inspired the idea for the plot?
So tbh much of the idea credit for both these fics belongs with the original requesters. I just took them and ran with them.
For When The World Is Free I received a message over DM (i no longer accept DM requests as they are hard to track):
Much of the bones of the story is there, as you can see. I added on the boyfriend back home as a plot tension point for her to wrestle with. I also invented the whole post Paris storyline around their developing relationship.
For Transitions, the idea to make him a triathlete was that of the requester. If I recall, at the time, the requester themselves was doing triathlon training. I can’t find the original request (again DM) but it was along the lines of what is in the authors note. I came up with the structure of vignettes over time and friends to lovers aspects, and I made sure to use include things they enjoy in the intimate scenes, but yeah the origin of triathlete Benedict is all their headcanon.
43: Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?
To be honest, no, and I think that is part of the reason my muse has been struggling so much lately. Im useless at coming up with scenarios, hence I’m open to prompts.
As you know, I’ve written over 300 fics, so tbh it often feels like there’s not much left I haven’t written for sex/romance one-shot scenarios lolol. At least within the boundaries of what I will write - I don’t do angst etc.
If I can come up with a mistress storyline that doesn’t lean into angst, I’m happy to write it, but I wouldn’t say I’m particularly hankering to do so - it’s merely something different in terms of relationship type.
I never thought I would write omegaverse but I’ve even done that now lol. If anyone reading this can think of a trope I haven’t explored, drop me an ask!
75: Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn’t expect?
Eden. It’s recently gone over 10k notes. That’s insane. I know Tumblr bloody loves breeding kink, but its popularity mystifies me. I personally think the structure is a little clunky and I’d say it’s middling in terms of my writing abilities. But it has caught fire like nothing else. I guess that will likely be the signature fic I’m known for and I’m not sure how I feel about that tbh 😂 I’d prefer it were another in lots of ways lol.
Thanks for your questions lovely! Sorry I’ve rattled on so much 😁🧡🧡
I cannot think of anything to ask for the AMA except in Bridgerton 4x04, Benedict smirking whilst doing… what he’s doing to Sophie and she’s enjoying it
Are you certain you did not write that scene for them?? Seems to have hopped straight out of one of your fics (except when he screws it up at the end 😂 “How to offend a woman in five words or less”)
-yearning nonny
Hi Yearning Nonny my dear! 🫶
It’s lovely to hear from you again, so glad you got to see s4 pt 1 🎉
Bahahah 🤣 I promise I did not write that scene, I wish I had. But here’s the telltale signs I didn’t:
1) He didn’t say anything into her ear like I would have that filthy boy do. Not even a murmured “yessss” of encouragement. But, as you know, I headcanon him as a poetic dirty talker lol.
2) Those fingers would have been right back in his mouth after she finished. Cos these boys are utterly feral for the smell and and taste of their ladies. If I wrote it, he would be cleaning them up like he did the jam in s3 🤣
But yes, the smirking is definitely VERY Benace and you are right, there are aspects of that scene that are very similar to my smutty nonsense. Especially the picking her up and pushing her against a wall. I’ve written that entirely too many times 😬
The “offer” was suuuuch a fumble/record scratch moment. How to offend a woman indeed lol. They both did a great job with the brief aftermath of it. Can’t wait for part 2
Thank you for your fun ask. I’m so flattered that scene made you think of my writing for Benedict. 😬🧡🧡
hiii! it’s been so long since i’ve sent an ask since i’ve been so busy with uni but i really hope you’ve been doing well :)) lwk looking forward to those mamma mia updates and ik you’ll do all of them justice (are we ever gonna get alex getting hit again or is that out of the writing…) and another long awaited update! finally got the girl 😭🙏 i actually decided to man up and asked her out in december! got the childhood neighbors bsf slowburn 24k ff i wanted 💀 no more toxic yuri!!!
- yearning anon
OMG GOOD LUCK W UNIIIII scary establishment.. ill try to do them justice and uh.. alex getting run over?? thats being thought out.. AND FUCK YEAH I KNEW YOU COULD DO ITTT that was ur december plot twist and j could not be any more happy for you thats really awesome yearning anon🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is kinda stupid but I’m scared I’ll never have a real friendship
I have “best friends”. I love them… but I can’t unmask around them
It hurts really bad. I don’t know how to unmask when I’m alone either
I feel kinda dumb but I’m worried that the time has passed to make genuine life long close friendships, like the marauders did.
I didn’t make friends who actually loved me when I was eleven like Remus did… so maybe I never will. When I think back about it… all of my friends have been mean to me
In elementary school they’d exclude me. They’d tell me to off myself. They’d ignore and yell at me and chase me around the playground insulting me before they decided to be my friend
In middle school they hit me, and insulted me, and my religion.
And I’m in high school and it’s not looking much better.
Different faces, same people. I’m an idiot for thinking this would ever change
There’s something about my personality that’s fundamentally wrong and makes people be the way they are to me
I think I’m supposed to hate myself
I don’t know anymore
—yearning anon
Hi! <3
I don't think this is stupid at all! However, I think it's important to know that true friends don't necessarily come from like...time you've known someone. To be honest, very few people stay friends with the people they knew in elementary school and that's OKAY!
Like you said, true friends are the people you can unmask around, the people who are with you through tough things, the people who KNOW you. And they can come around when you're 16 or 56! I have multiple people I consider 'true' friends, and they came from all different times in my life. It's never too late to meet a true friend.
I think as far as unmasking...unmasking is just being you, unapologetically, without worry. Finding friends that you can do that around is so important, but it also takes time and trust and again, that's okay!
Please know that there's no time limit on these things. I am a full-blown adult and most of the people I consider true friends I met in adulthood. There's no rush <3

alabama anon
What would I tell people? That’s another issue. Just like ‘hey mom, I feel bad. All the time. Nothings going on, I just feel awful’. That’s such a bad thing to tell people. Like I don’t have any idea what it is. I don’t even know why it’s happening. If I tell people, they’ll want answers. I don’t have answers.
-Alabama anon
Yes, exactly! You say 'I feel bad, I don't know what to do, and I need help' and if you pick a trustworthy person, they'll know what to do. And yes, they might ask questions, but it's okay to say 'I don't know.' You don't have the answers, and that's fine! That's why you're asking for help <3

plural crushes anon
I have a couple questions about, like… crushes and stuff because now that I’ve stopped repressing any and everything related to this I have a lot of questions
1: how does one feel safe around another person? I feel so so anxious everytime another person is around me. I feel so awkward, scared, and ashamed, even when around my friends. I feel like I’m always performing, so the idea of being genuine with someone sounds awesome! But like… how does someone do that? I guess this is a more general question for how to stop masking around everyone, but, I also just want to hear how it like… works. How does someone make you feel safe?'
Hi! Okay for this one, it's probably different for every person. But for me, it's a mixture of instinct/vibes and also time. Like when I see someone and talk with them for a bit, I get a vibe, right? Some people just feel off and some people feel safe. And I've learned that usually my gut it correct with those things.
On top of that, people usually show you who they are over time. When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. If someone is rude, mean, judgemental, bigoted, whatever...believe them. It's the people who show you they're trustworthy that you keep around, you know?
2: what does dating mean? I’ve seen people date without knowing each other before hand, like, meeting them with the intention to do romance. How does that work? Not in a judgy way at all, btw! I just… I don’t know what dating/romance really means :( is it like when I really want to be around someone? Or feel flustered? Because I feel like that a lot around my friends but I don’t want to date them
Sorry if these are too weird. Thank you for being a safe space to ask about stuff like this!
Byeeeeee
Hahaha the answer to this question is different for different people as well. Like there's 'dating' as in going on dates- getting to know each other, possibly doing physical things, seeing if there's chemistry...and then there's 'dating' as in two people who have made a commitment to date each other. It really depends on who you as and what you and the person you 'date' decide. That's why communication while dating is so important!
I'm sorry I don't have better answers...you're right, the whole thing is very confusing!

frog stuffie guy anon
They're giving me a new social worker and I'm so not happy about it. I love my social worker and idk what I'll do without her, shes been a complete rock to me for months now, almost the full year. I'm about to make life hell for social services tbh
- frog stuffie guy
Ugh I'm so sorry, the system of social services sucks so much. Are you able to keep in contact with your old social worker somehow? Also, congrats on two months! <3
finished my re-read of It Had To Be You last night and all I have to say is
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
feel like I nearly had to squeal into my pillow, it’s perfect EVERY time
(also yes you were correct in your guess about what my most re-read chapter was 👀 though getting to the ending again broke and healed my heart all in one)
-yearning nonny
Hi lovely!
I’m sure I sound like a broken record on this lol, but I’m always so humbled when people tell me they have re-read my stories 🥹 I’m so pleased It Had To Be You is your comfort read (and yay for THAT chapter hehe)
Thank you for your kind words and your message. On days like today you have no idea how much this means. So thank you 🥹🫶😁🧡🧡
feel the urge to let you know that this local yearner is having a negative couple of weeks and the “chicken soup for the soul” I’ve immediately reached for is ‘It Had To Be You’
I don’t know how many times I’ve re-read it (esp a certain chapter… you can probably guess which one) but GOD it works and making everything feel a little lighter 😂
starting with chapter 1 now and wanted to leave an ask about it on the way 🥰
-yearning nonny
Hi lovely!
Awwww 🥹🥹
I’m so sorry you’ve had such a tough couple of weeks my dear 🫂 If my fics can provide you with any sense of comfort and light, it’s an honour 🫶
To be on someone’s re-read list is truly such a compliment. I’m so pleased It Had To Be You works for you. (I’m guessing 7 is that certain chapter, but I could be wrong hehe)
Thank you for always being so sweet and supportive of my silly word crimes. I hope things turn around for you over the festive period.
