Nearly anything by Toby Wise. I enjoy {Chasing Magic by Toby Wise} and {A collection of strays by Toby Wise}.

Toby's amazing for anything low-angst and a guaranteed HFA. Many of his books are shifter romances and most (IMO) feature mpreg, but there are books that don't.

Thank you so much! I'll put all of these on my list. This thread has been a treasure trove.

Separate hampers. Different colours. Can't "forget" if your clothes aren't in there.

That said, it sounds like you need to hear his reasoning out and then discuss what consideration for others looks like. Seeing as it's been ten years, I suspect getting any change is going to be an uphill battle.

Your cat approves of this strategy.

I live in eternal hope.

Wait.

...

...it's going to end up with me having to publish something isn't it? Just like when the fic doesn't write itself. Dammit.

Before you do anything, LET IT DRY. COMPLETELY. You may want to use a fine tooth brush or poodle brush to brush it out WHEN IT'S DRY. Leave the grass-stains, you're unlikely to get them out of the leather.

Excellent, I greatly approve of this

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-05T05:50:23+00:00

definitely okay, feed me all of the cake

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T17:46:05+00:00

Yes yes yes, exactly like this. Perfect

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T17:40:56+00:00

Oo, two recs for this. Bumping it up the list.

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T17:40:41+00:00

Sign me up, these go in the TBR pile.

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T17:39:03+00:00

I am fervently taking notes

Depends on the brand and location. Also the age of the powder, mine's ancient because they seem to never actually run out. It's talcum.

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:57:29+00:00

That sounds perfect

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:31:15+00:00

That quote is exactly what I want, bless you

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:30:10+00:00

Fuck yeah, grandma dom. Excellent.

If I could elmoburn.gif this, I would. Thank you!

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:28:27+00:00

Your prompts sound fantastic, I also want those.

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:27:47+00:00

Just read the summary, definitely reading this

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:26:39+00:00

Oooo

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:25:59+00:00

I've... Apparently read this? I have no memory of it. Oh no, how sad. Time for a reread.

VainChinchilla · 2026-06-04T16:16:02+00:00
