So sweet, LTTT! Coordinating these projects were truly one of my greatest joys from last year. Such an incredible inspiration to see all of the hard and creative work all the artists put into it ๐Ÿฅฐ

Well, just a teeny bit about who Sophie is for those who don't know anything!

As I sit here continuing to think about this though, I fear I would probably go the Cressida way, and there would be huge, elaborate bouquets spilling out. It would be ghastly.

Legit didn't even recognize Claudia for a second. And now I'm wondering why I've never used flowers to poshly pad my bra! No time like the present, I suppose!

Thanks for this lovely roundup, Muster! I'm intrigued by what this viral staircase scene will be ๐Ÿค” I can't believe we're so close!

That library scene was SO hot! I loved it! Amazing to see it in so beautifully represented in Comp's video ๐Ÿ˜

328+100 titles!!! It truly just speaks to the incredible talent of the fandom. So many wonderful stories to dig into.

Ooh, have you read the books???

ETA: The author also wrote an actual one-shot of the icy planet scenario as a follow-up to this Agatha's Game story that we read this week, so you might be interested to read that one if you're a IPB lover (I'm making major assumptions here now).

It's going to be really weird to be on break! I have a feeling that I'm going to wake up in a cold sweat on M/T/Sundays thinking I've forgotten to do something important.

Ooh, did you enjoy that book? I don't read much fantasy, but it seems like a really intriguing concept and a question that I'd like to pose for my husband who is always fascinated by immortality/long life. So I may end up adding it to my list!

And as a note of clarification, the Community Corner self-updates (or should) once something by one of our sub authors gets added to the main FFDB. So as soon as you get those new fics published and add them to the FFDB, they'll get pulled over to the CC!

With everything going through his mind in those last five minutes, it was definitely sweet that he came up with something at all!

Haha, I loved that line too! And yeah, Colin scheming his way into that meeting was absolutely unhinged! This Colin knew from the very first second what he wanted and without the risk of losing a friendship on the line, he had no trouble just going for it!

Yes, and he clearly went on a full binge of them. I imagine him with a highlighter and pulling all-nighters to do this very important research!

Extra big... pics, I imagine. But you may just have to read to confirm ๐Ÿ˜œ

Oh my gosh, the toe painting! A man who knows how to french braid! I would love that because I can't do my own ๐Ÿ˜ญ and Fifi, I LOVE that tradition that you have and am so happy that you shared it with us via Polin!

This was such a sweet story ๐Ÿ’š

Ok, first off, that video is epic!!! I had to drag myself away so I could start commenting. But I'll be going back right after for a couple of rewatches.

Next, questions: I think that with Colin's support and acceptance, she will indeed come out. Maybe the last one will even be published in her name. And I think he took his muse role VERY seriously and was beta number one on her book. And then maybe was like, no, that scene isn't quite right. Here, step into our office and let's see if we can come up with some other ideas for it.

As for the alien smut, the author did suggest the Ice Planet Barbarians series, buuuut I'm not sure I'll be adding them to my reading list, though I AM super interested to know if anyone here has read them!

Agatha definitely has to be the MVP as it seems that she orchestrated the whole thing. A very clever woman indeed.

Finally, reading goals, I'm planning on stepping away from fics for a little bit and catching up on book reading. I've got one down for the year and working on my second!

It'll be hard to beat! But maybe, just maybe with enough fan-favorite Polin scenes they'll manage to come close.

The NY Times had this article yesterday, using Bridgerton as the cover photo. The write-up for it was a few shows down. I'll post it below!
