Summary:

It’s been five years since Simon Snow saved the magickal world (again). A lot has changed since then. If you told me this would be my life five years ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. Simon was so dysfunctional and broken and we were both so traumatized that I never thought there was a future where we were happy. Where we built a life together and were content. But thank magic, against all odds, it happened.

I think I’m gonna propose to Simon.

Post-AWTWB, they finally went to therapy, marriage rites, dueling, bound together in five dimensions.

“He still looks like something I want to eat.”

“We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love.”

Six-Sentence Sunday: They Get Married.

Hello all! I am currently working on and finishing up Chapter 4 of "They Get Married." Here's an excerpt of a scene featuring some steamy cooking ;)

“I want you to make Cook Pritchard’s roast beef and Yorkshire pudding,” I purred, before adding with a smirk: “wearing nothing but an apron.”

Which is how I ended up sitting at the kitchen table, admiring Baz’s beautiful pale arse as he tenderises steak in a frilly pink apron. “You know, I finally understand why it’s called mooning,” I say, slowly sipping on a cider. Baz looks back at me, one eyebrow arched, and I can’t help but snicker. “Have something to say about my arse, Snow?” “Oh, of course not, never!” I gasp, feigning offence. “Watching my favourite thing to eat prepare my favourite meal? I’m living the dream!”

he’s just like me fr (responsible homosexual older sister who’s afraid of breaking the rules. Somehow still the problem child even though they try so hard not to be. High functioning depression & anxiety. Feels like everything is constantly their fault.)

IS BAZ A SMOKER?

I just got a private ask about this, and thought I may as well answer it here.

No, Baz is not a smoker. (In canon.) I thought I was making it clear in Carry On that he only smokes a cigarette at the vampire club to intimidate Nico. (Because vampires are so flammable, none of them smoke. It makes Baz seem fearless.) Elsewhere in Carry On, Baz says his dad drew a hard line against smoking. (The flammable thing again.) The most compelling evidence that Baz isn’t a regular smoker is that Simon is surprised by Baz’s cigarette at the vampire club. “I didn’t know he smoked.” Simon has been following Baz around for eight years, inhaling him as much as possible. If Baz was smoking regularly, Simon would have noticed. (Also, if Baz were a regular smoker, I feel like we would have seen him light up in that book on many stressful occasions.)

Six-Sentence Sunday

This is from chapter 5 of They Get Married, which will be published today or tomorrow! Dev reveals some interesting information at the stag party…

“Dev, thinking about kissing your male friends is bloody well gay,” I say.

“No it isn’t!” Dev argues. “Everyone thinks about kissing their mates sometimes.”

I’m speechless. What the fuck?

“Like, you don’t actually wanna kiss your mate because you’re not gay. But you think about it sometimes, like if you were both hammered.”

Lesbian Agatha Wellbelove seems like such a cop out to me years later. And I say that as someone who wants more sapphic representation in books and who liked lesbian Agatha when the books came out.

Like in book one, she doesn’t not want a boyfriend, she wants a boyfriend who’s into her. And in book two she says she wishes she realized she wanted to kiss girls because that could explain why she’s so confused about everything and why she doesn’t fit in… (and because she perceives that that’s what happened for Simon with Baz) and then all that is just thrown out in Any Way the Wind Blows… just because?

I honestly think it was because larger fandom consensus was that Agatha was a lesbian.

But I don’t know. I just wish that in a book series that is so firmly saying “figuring out your sexuality does not fix your trauma or inner turmoil. your mental state cannot be fixed by a relationship, that’s your own work to do.” about Simon and Baz, that Rowell didn’t decide to undercut that by saying “except for Agatha it does. She’s felt out of place because she is a lesbian. And now she knows! So things will be better”

So beautiful, I want this as tiles or a bandana
