Probably my favorite re-read is "and i would search the night sky to find you" by devilinmybrain(venomedveins) on AO3! Such a good a/b/o fic. Honestly everything by that author is golden

Yes, I love Jen’s writing, too. I haven’t gotten to this one yet, though.

Harry Styles is a high class, well-bred Omega attending Bosworth Academy - a prestigious boarding school looking over the small town on Kinsey. He has his whole life already planned for him, learning his place as the potential mate for an important Alpha, practicing his home making skills, and be obedient above all else.
When he attends a school trip into town though, he meets Louis Tomlinson - a blacksmith and mouthy Alpha who doesn't particularly care for the standards of high society nor for the people in it. But things are not always what they seem and a past grievance may change the lives of everyone involved forever.

Please recommend me some fanfics ! 💌💌

hi! sorry for the delay i had a hard time at work this week. im in a omega Harry/Alpha Louis stage right now lol

Harry Styles is a high class, well-bred Omega attending Bosworth Academy - a prestigious boarding school looking over the small town on Kinsey. He has his whole life already planned for him, learning his place as the potential mate for an important Alpha, practicing his home making skills, and be obedient above all else.

Ten years ago, Louis helping Harry through a heat was the start of a romance that ended in heartbreak. Now, Harry's marriage is over thanks to his husband's very public infidelity, and Louis is fresh off a Golden Globe win. The last thing they both expect is to be cast in the same movie.

Enjoy!

Dr. Sharpe and Lt. Kelly having a grown-up girl bonding time. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge. Here's my book cover slash fan-art of "Beyond the Blue" by TJ O'Shea. Mei & Morgan currently own my WHOLE body and soul.

Spice level: 🌶 🌶 🌶 .🌶

My song inspo: "You Can Sleep While I Drive" (Live) duet by Melissa Etheridge & Amy Grant. 🔥

Synopsis, babes:

Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei's morgue.

More Golden Retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she's perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered.

As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.
