I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.
I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.
Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.
Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.
40 books for my 2025 tbr :)

OF FLOWERS AND DEATH - Aemond Targaryen
☾⋆⁺₊✧ dark elf!Aemond Targaryen x f!human!reader series.
☾⋆⁺₊✧ Summary: A taint twists through the kingdoms of man and elf, killing all life in its wake. Your father, a brilliant mind, had worked tirelessly for a solution to fight that evil. However, you are left shouldering the burden of his research after he mysteriously disappears.
A newfound companion lands you a position working under the watchful eye of elf healers. You struggle to hold yourself together in the dark woodland kingdom of elves ruled by their merciless king - Aemond Targaryen. Secrets breed more secrets, and figuring out who to trust is more difficult than ever - especially when you cannot even trust yourself.
It is a race to find a cure while unravelling the secret behind your father's disappearance, the origin of the taint, and the troubling stirrings in your heart caused by the elf king. The impending war between humans and elves drives tensions further, casting a dark veil over your endeavours.
Moreso, when death itself seems to come knocking upon your door.
It can also be found on my Ao3, right here.
☾⋆⁺₊✧ Chapters:
Chapter 1: The Laws of Humans and Elves Chapter 2: A Modest Proposition Chapter 3: A Study in Death Chapter 4: A Night of Song and Dance Chapter 5: The Young Elf Chapter 6: A Snake in the Garden Chapter 7: The Dark Woods Deep Chapter 8: Marked Flesh Chapter 9: Home and Hearth Chapter 10: The Art of Potion Making Chapter 11: A New Ally Chapter 12: Death's Sting Chapter 13: Of Taverns and Bathhouses Chapter 14: The Saphire Chapter 15: Know Your Enemies Chapter 16: Every Little Thing Chapter 17: The Winds of War Chapter 18: Past, Present, and Future Chapter 19: The Scars of Betrayal Chapter 20: An Elf's Rage Epilogue: An Elf's Devotion
☾⋆⁺₊✧ Content warning: 18+ depictions of violence/gore, eventual smut, warfare, sickness/disease, some moments of misogyny, mentions of alcohol consumption, and Criston Cole (yikes).
☾⋆⁺₊✧ I am extremely excited to begin releasing this series! Ever since season one was released, the concept of writing an elf-based story on Aemond has been living rent-free in my head.
There will be weekly updates to this series. While I have extensive outlines for each chapter, I wish to take this at a slower pace when it comes to releasing. This way, I can balance other works on this page as well. (along with my uni coursework).
Thank you all for the support! <3

So I just finished Inheritance Games.
Yall Avery is definitely better than me bc if I just inhereted a mansion a couple billion dollars and a football team I truly would NAWT give a damn about solving the mystery. Also even though the DNA test came back clear it feels like the story is setting her up to be somehow related to the Hawthornes and idk how I feel about that. Only bc i think it would make the dynamic with her and Jameson weird in my own opinion. I also feel like it would make it more weird seeing as Nash and Libby are probably endgame. It's giving "What are you doing bro-in-law." Also again Avery is better than me bc i would have evicted all of em the moment Jameson showed up in my rooma t night through the fireplace like girl W H A T. I Would had that whole place locked tf down after that. It is revealed that the boy's mom let Drake into the house was kind of a given tbh, so I knew it wasn't Libby or the brothers, and I didn't think the staff cared as long as they got paid so it was DEFINATLY one of the sisters. And Zara looked like the easy pick bc shes kinda rough around the edgeds but a general rule of thumb especially in a who done it situation is always going to be the softer or more "innocent" one. I'm kind of disappointed Thea didn't play a bigger role in this story likeeeeeee I want more of the highshcool queen mother Yanno. Idk I just feel like given enough chances she'd eat. Overall I liked the book I already have the whole series so I'm starting book 2 today.
Finished my tbr of fan fics and don’t know what to do now 🫠
Fic Rec: Post-War Canon
There are so many long epics that deal with the fallout of post-war canon. This exact moment, right after the war stops, is for me not something I read often. Believe me, there are many wonderful stories, but I prefer stories on the shorter side here apparently.
The Grown Up Driver by Pocketfullof
Ugh, oh man, this story. This story. It’s so well written, full of beautiful lyrical prose. It gives Harry and Ginny the break from everything and everyone, just leaving the two of them to find themselves, find each other, and heal. Yes in all the ways possible. It makes my ache for the two of them in the best ways.
as the morning steals upon the night by @could-have-beens
I still cannot believe could-have-beens wrote me this story because I was going through a tough time at work. It is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful. This is my favorite canon reuniting after the battle story, and I am not just saying that because she wrote it for me. Read it, love it. Cry tears of joy that it exists.
Too Good To Be True by @remedial-potions
Askjdsdfghj ugh the feels I get from this amazing story! Ginny’s not feeling well, and Harry can’t stop thinking the worst. Harry is so in character, it hurts (in a good way). Wonderful combination of angst and fluff.
Romania by @clarensjoy
The first piece from Clarensjoy I read. It made my heart sing. After the war, Charlie keeps watching Harry and Ginny; it makes Harry nervous. The descriptions of the earth, the way Harry and Ginny are curled into one another, the way Ginny addresses the problem head-on, and Charlie’s musings on what he sees. It’s delightful, as is her continue-on piece.
There Your Heart Also Lies by @deadwoodpecker
Harry and Ginny need to work through an unforeseen relationship issue. I love how true this story feels, both the residual feelings that Ginny grapples with, and Harry’s response, showing how they’ve grown as a couple and a team.
Echoes by agreatwave
I love when we get outsider views of Harry and Ginny being their glorious selves, where they emit sunlit days, even to those who have long been stuck in the shade.
Compromise: A Love Story by femmenerd
Ginny needs to be more than the Boy Who Lived’s girlfriend. I like the messiness of this, the hard edges of their relationship. They’re nowhere near perfect, certainly not Ginny, but they wouldn’t have it any other way.
Homerun by @fightfortherightsofhouseelves
An amazing story of how Harry and Ginny makes it through each of the bases until they make it all the way to home. Wonderfully passionate and innocent at the same time.
Now You’re Mine by tosca1390
So, so beautiful… The tone, the feel, the way the two are together. A short, lovely piece that makes me feel safe and warm in the glow of Harry and Ginny’s love.
After the Leaves Have Fallen by tosca1390
Harry being his usual overprotective self, and Ginny having none of it. The passion, the description, such a lovely piece by tosca!
i just really need you here right now by @annerbhp
Harry misses things from sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he stops trying. No surprise here that I love Annerb’s beautiful one-shot about how Harry and Ginny, like all couples, have things they need to work on. That doesn’t mean they give up. Annerb is such a fantastic writer. I never knew I could feel so much about something like a towel.
