Love Can Be Without Limitation

Love can be without limitation

When I first heard that you were writing Sh. last year on Discord, I honestly didn’t know what to expect from it. Would it simply be about a group of friends who, throughout the story, end up having and establishing romantic relationships between them during quarantine as a means to cope? Or, would it be something else, something more? To me, it did become something more than that, and I could already see the potential that you have brought to this story ever since I read the first chapter.  

You know, over the past year or so (holy shit, has it already been a year?) of me more actively engaging in reading fics, I realized that there is a wildly intimate bond between author and reader. Us readers trust authors to take care of us in some way the second we press “follow” or just so happen to read their stories if they come across our timeline (it’s like what came first, the chicken or the egg?), anyways, we trust authors because, in some shape or form, we have leaned toward them because, in a sense, we feel like they’re going to comfort us in some way. Be an escape from the harsh realities of the world at some moment in time (but you, my dear, just so happen to be a mirror and reflect those things back to me, and it’s a blessing and a curse. But, I'll get to that later), but it’s all because in some ways, we are similar. It’s like survival of the fittest and the notion of how we as humans are innately drawn to those who are like us as a means of safety because deep down, we only have ourselves to trust, which is why you don’t really see people reading everything that this site/world holds. I’m not really sure what it’s like from an author’s point of view so I don’t want to speak over you, but I think that this entire thing is beautiful in that sense, and I’ll be forever grateful that my soul has led me to you, Willow, and that in some way, you have been fit to nourish and help me mend any part of me that needs a little bit of loving. 

I feel certain stories are read best during certain times of the day, just like how you may have specific playlists made for a particular mood you're in or for a specific situation. For this chapter specifically, it felt better to read at night. Mainly because it was a little past midnight and I had taken a nap earlier which my circadium rhythym a bit wonky, so I was like ‘what the hell?’. It was dark, and the vibes were nice. I was back home for break, and I could finally use my diffuser that I got not too long ago, so everything just felt good and perfect, and my stomach got butterflies because I felt so relaxed. While I was reading this, everything felt so clear and vivid. Dark black and blue and white but vivid behind my eyelids while I read this. This was honestly one of my favorite parts of this series. 

However, I didn’t expect this chapter to leave me feeling so raw and vulnerable at 2 am. I mean, for one, the main character and Yoongi were pretty raw, if I do say so myself. But it was the pillow-talk that came afterward. The notion of keeping yourself “so tightly together” for an ounce of control (over myself or just life in general) that made me go...fuck...because I knew that this was going to tap at a particular part of me, and as I expected, it did. And I’m glad that it did. I’m so glad. Feelings were being reflected toward me, some that I didnt even know that could be mapped onto me until you wrote about it, and I'm just happy that I had a chance to read those parts (I would highlight all of the sections that got me, but when I came back to edit, I realized that my document is already on page 3 lol, and I would also like to do a little more self-reflecting before I completely write to you about it💜)

I love the fact that the main character is surrounded by friends who truly care for her and take care of her. Whether it's the form of pleasuring her body or taking care of her mind, I'm just happy that she has friends who are so genuine and heartfelt and who are intuitive and pay attention to her and her needs, even when she doesn't exactly know what she might need at that point.

Yoongi is funny, hot, gentle, and calm, but he brews quite a storm in terms of intimacy. He’s gentle with how he talks to the main character, but his words are sharp, and they hold weight because he cares. Taehyung, too, is someone who I admire a lot now because of this chapter. He’s incredibly funny and charming (the part when he texts ‘I forgot how loud you are when you orgasm’ made me laugh because of the timing). Blatant and bold about his affections and the type to make you blush because of how exposing he can be just by his words, he, too, is also very comforting. His talk to her is something that I’ll forever cherish because a lot of what was said could be mapped onto me. It gave me a reason to think more about my affections and how I express love, and I also love how you used snow as a sort of blank space. A new start to the main character’s journey, and I’m so excited to see where this all goes for her. I’m rooting for her so much, and again, I’m really glad that she has people like Yoongi and Taehyung and the others in her life as well to help her. The character growth and introspection shown through the entirety of this series is phenomenal, and I’m so so grateful that I can read a story like this. 

Thank you so much, Willow. You continue to surprise me each and every time I read something of yours because I’m just like ‘how can a piece of writing be this good?!’ My eyes feel undeserving, but I’m thankful for you and for you sharing your writing with us. I adore you. Also, officially, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! ILY!!!!💕

RATING Explicit.

GENRE smut. fluff. angst. nonidol au. wildnerness au. roommates au. friends to lovers.

SUMMARY Six months of quarantine have kept you apart. Somehow the distance sparks something new in each of you: questions, unfinished conversations, threads once chased now left cold. So when your roommate invites you to come with him to a mysterious house in the mountains with your friends, how could you even think of saying no?

WC 8k

WARNINGS AND TAGS protected sex. friends with benefits relationship. dirty talk. power play dynamics. angst. semi-public nudity. mentions of open relationship. sexting. reckoning with feelings. talk of alcohol use. 

AN: One million bazillion thanks to the best beta and geologist out there, @hesperantha. Everyday I think to myself, how the fuck would this series exist without this magical lady? And every day I am thankful for her beautiful existence. 

Also, if you haven’t seen /the trailer, you might wanna check it out. Just because I had a lot of fun making it and it was super fun to visualize the characters and their tiny little world. 

Going forward, you can read with they/them pronouns by navigating to the series m.list and reading from there. 

That said, LETS JUMP IN!

Happy Blogiversary!🎂

So...um, I just realized that this blog turned 1 today! This was honestly really surprising because I thought that it was next week, but anyways...

Creating this blog was honestly one of the most life-changing things that I've done. It sounds a bit cheesy now that I'm thinking about it, but this blog allowed me to connect with other readers, writers, and artists on a more personal level during a time that was very dark, scary, and unpredictable. More than that though, for the first time in a long time, I was able to express my feelings toward works of art without feeling as if my voice would be taken away. Without feeling as if my thoughts were too dumb or wrong or just completely different from what other people may think. This blog was, and still is, an outlet for me. It's a place where I don't have to think too much about thinking and just feel for a few moments.

So to all of the writers, readers, artists, people who may have followed me, chatted with me, or who I see in my notifications, thank you for listening to me and my thoughts. Thank you for creating stories that I will always keep in my heart and mind. I will forever & always adore you and all of the hard work that you have put into your crafts💕

Cheers to another year!

[ANAAAAAAAAA!!!!!]

Ana, Ana, Ana, Ana, ANA

I’m screaming again in this epilogue review because of the way I GASPED when I realized that their story officially started with milkshakes and now it’s ending with them, and I coincidentally treated myself with a milkshake today too (strawberry, which is also a coincidence because that’s the main character’s favorite too). But oh my god WOW!!! I loved that it came full circle like this, and I think that Yoongi mentioned that he liked baseball in one of the previous chapters and my heart is just -SDKJSAMAMAP!

(And Yoongi brought her a toothbrush?!?!?! Her own toothbrush with multiple settings and stuff!?!?! When in the last chapter he talked about the toothbrush- SDKDSKKFNKNFSMALMPOFAM SHUT THE FUC-- ANA I LOVE YOU!!!! AND IM EXCITED THAT THEY’RE MOVING IN TOGETHER!!!!!)

That is all.

(Thank you, Ana again. Truly and sincerely. I love this series and you so so much!!💕)

*******************

Fuck, it’s hot.

The forecaster called for a high of 91° today, but he must have missed that mark by at least a hundred degrees.  There is no breeze and absolutely no respite from the unforgiving sun here in the cheap seats.

The Lions batter connects with the ball – finally – and Yoongi winces as he watches it sail right over the foul line.

Beneath his sling his arm feels sticky, itchy. 

He’d love nothing more than to rip that sling off and go to town on his arm with his fingernails, but any moment now you’ll be back from the concession stand.  You’ll probably hold his hot dog hostage if you catch him.

Some days, you absolutely hate your job. 

The lunch rush is always terrible. Two weeks in, and you’re sure that all the local office workers have somehow conspired to show up at the same time. The fact that you’re still learning the ins and outs of Cypher’s menu doesn’t help either—luckily, Seokjin is the most helpful chef you’ve ever worked with, always willing to whip up any last minute substitutions. However, he’s also one of the most whimsical, with a tendency to change the daily specials without telling anyone, including his fellow restaurant owner and co-founder of Cypher, Namjoon. 

Kim Namjoon can usually be found in the back office, wading through the tedium of clerical work. A tall, kind man with thick-rimmed glasses and a boyish grin, he cuts a striking figure in the restaurant whenever he emerges from behind the computer and piles of paperwork. But that doesn’t happen very often, head server Hoseok had joked on your first day. The other two servers, Jimin and Taehyung, had nodded their agreement. Then Jungkook, the busboy, had snuck up behind them with a grin, a spray bottle, and mischief on his mind. Suffice it to say that you didn’t learn much else about your bosses that day. 

Then there’s Min Yoongi.
