hello! while seeking out some new-to-me fic for #reyloficit, some friends, particularly @dhampirse.bsky.social mentioned several past collections. so I've compiled a non-exhaustive list.

huge thanks to everyone who has moderated one of these collections. #reylo history wouldn't exist without y'all

a photo of a person sitting at a table in a cafe, reading a book. their back is turned to the camera so that their face is obscured. there is a screenshot of a box with a happy face emoticon in the center superimposed over the book itself. this happy face is what chrome gives you when you open too many tabs.
