Love it here, but I'm about as smooth as a potato on social networks. So, I’m turning this into my personal little book club diary. Come for the awkwardness, stay for my fic recs!

I just finished the gorgeous Christmas gem from @darling28.bsky.social. If you’re craving a sprinkle of holiday magic, a big pinch of pining, and a whole serving of glittery Christmas war, this might be the perfect story for you.

My morning started with coffee and ice skating…well, not me, but film-star Harry and figure-skater Louis in my latest read did.

Do I adore a witchy Louis and a vampire Harry? I really do. Did the latest baby from @outropeace.bsky.social wreck me in the best way and make me cry more than once? It truly did. Come witness their forever and beyond.

And before turning in, I snuck in a tiny bedtime treat of a story. An older boy with a few cracks in his heart meeting a younger, bright-eyed one and somehow they fit together flawlessly.

If you’re in the mood for a story about rockstar Harry who can’t sleep and student Louis who helps him with that problem (while accidentally creating a whole new set of others), this one might be a good pick.

My coffee this morning? Hot, strong and apparently served with a side of age-gap Harry and Louis. Not a bad start to the day.

The newest entry in my reading diary is this beautiful story from @staybeautifulfics.bsky.social where Harry bolts from his own wedding and Louis ends up be(e)ing his getaway driver 🐝. I loved every bit of it.

And since it’s just a bitesize story, I saved it for some cozy couch time tonight. You know, the one with alpha Harry and his best friend’s little brother, omega Louis. A tiny snack of chaos.
