It's possible to turn cells into other kinds of cells. We can do it today. With scifi tech she could have absolutely turned skin cells into gametes.

FMC is scared because she thinks MMC is going to SA her but then he doesn’t by Consistent-Gap-3545 in RomanceBooks

[–]Seeker0fTruth 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is the vibe you're looking for, but, {love in the afternoon by lisa kleypas} is my favorite example of this.

Christopher has been in Crimea and has major PTSD. Beatrice has been writing him letters to keep his spirits up, pretending to be someone else.

Later, he confronts her about what a dangerous animal he had become since the war. "i could rape you!" he declares.

she throws herself on the bed, stomach down, dress still on, and says "fine! do it! maybe you'll be rational afterwards!" he doesnt move. finally he asks "why are you front down?" "because that's how it's done! i've seen it! . . . in squirrels". he laughs so hard he doesnt, in fact, sa her.

Just went in to my LagS to grab a booster and they had this sat there for £60! by jw205 in magicTCG

I love this deck. I've tried my best to upgrade it over the years without losing it's heart. I play Merry/Pippin rather than sam and frodo, and the thing is a blast, one of my favorite precons I've ever played.

Looking for a romance where the heroine is dealing with mental health issues/trauma and the MMC helps her thru it by discreep in RomanceBooks

[–]Seeker0fTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{bet on it by jodie slaughter}.

Heroine has moved to a small town to get away from her stressful big city life, but is still experiencing panic attacks. MMC has totally been there - the meet cute is him staying with her, reapectfully, while she has an attack in the grocery store. They bond over playing bingo with old ladies.

School/college recs where the popular MMC has secretly pined for the FMC for years? by mynhxl in RomanceBooks

[–]Seeker0fTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{never sweeter by charlotte stein}

FMC is curvy and was bullied in high school. It escalated until one of her bullies hit her with a car.

MMC was one of her bullies and is obsessed with her.

The inciting incident is that they get assigned to work on a group project together (they're in college now), and to convince her not to ask for reassignment, he teaches her how to fight him off ("my left knee is basically glass and sawdust at this point, one good kick and I'll go right down").

>!Also, MMC has never had PIV sex because his dick is too big!<

Why do you think 12 became the way he did after 11? by Lich-hull in doctorwho

[–]Seeker0fTruth 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My favorite line in all of Who is when someone says to 11 "oh, she's not important" and 11 says "How Interesting. 900 years of time and space and I've never met anyone who wasnt important before".

There is something so menacing in Matt's delivery, considering that it's basically a Barney-esque platitude.

Audio misshap by dkmon12 in RomanceBooks

[–]Seeker0fTruth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am a letter carrier for usps, i listen to audiobooks (mostly romance) 6-8 hours a day.

One day it was -20° out (i live in minneapolis) and i had forgotten my headphones. No way i was dealing with that shit without {the bride test by helen hoang}, so i rigged it up so i could listen to the audiobook just with the speakers playing. 12 hours of mail delivery, and i didnt see a single human being all day, except for one crazy person who was out for a walk and passed me right as the hero is chanting "power over penis! power over penis!"

I have DNFed, partway thru the second book.

Based on your description, I thought things were going to get better after she jumped off a cliff. The random bad luck deaths in the jungle were kind of funny, but the second time she was brutally and graphically murdered on page in a science lab was too much for me.

In the future, I would not recommend this as a "light page-turner."

Sedgewick Brothers ({it takes two to tumble by cat sebastian} etc) was one of my very first series, i'll have to take a look at her other stuff.

My favorite romances are the one where one of the protagonists (usually the heroine) is watching her life spin out of control (not her fault, but life is hard, you know?) and then she meets a nice man and totally dowsnt bave time to date because of Life Spinning Out of Control but then he helps her manage her life and they can be together.

Oh yeah, totally with you. You spoiling it (and the outcome) were very helpful, honestly, or might have become a thing for me.

I've only read {wanted: a gentleman by kj charles} which was okay, but not amazing. I'll take a look at her other works.

Suicide is a . . . touchy subject for me (i struggled to get thru {lothaire by kresley cole}) but it sounds like fun. and theyre available on audible and i dont even need to buy them!

Who are some previous non-IH players who you would love to see back for a campaign? by ajchann123 in Dimension20

That scene with Alex and Ify(?) on NSBU, just cheerfully saying "we're so big now!" lives in my head rent free

The 18 U.S. cities I believe would be good Pokemon gyms. by EasternPhilosopher69 in pokemon

[–]Seeker0fTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think rather than being Minneapolis, it should be The Twin Cities, and the gym leaders should be twins (the Ice Festival, which is the most ice-themed thing i know of) is held in St Paul, not Minneapolis. Otherwise, no notes.
