it’s very convenient, & surprisingly spacious!

um…well…uh…hm…i’m pleading the 5th on that one!

Jensen would love to live on his own, but that’s a nonnegotiable from the head of the family.

Evan lives by himself in a townhouse he bought after his father died- he didn’t want to stay either in his childhood home or where he & his dad lived, so once he joined Gilliard business he bought a place

in-laws 😍😍😍

having been the bonus roommate, i feel sasha 🤣

yeah i don’t think i’ve ever written a cishet MF couple (& i dont think i ever will) & find reading that dynamic a hard sell (esp if they’re both white/able-bodied)
December 4, 2025 at 2:57 PM
omg thank you so much!! hopefully they’ll be out in the world at some point 🙏🙏🙏
December 4, 2025 at 2:55 PM
contrary to how it may seem i do write wlw/mf & have plans for exploring a polycule/love N, all of which i also read! i just have a soft spot for queerness and masculinity because, uh, *gestures vaguely to self*

🤠❤️🫵 i love youuuuu

i like to think he’s one of those people who think they’ve Figured Out the winter’s tale…either that or he likes one of the popular ones But His Opinion Is Different, Actually

he’s a fun guy! always 5 seconds away from bringing up Irish independence or judging you for your favorite Shakespeare play, as any mentor should 🤣

however, i think the lines are becoming increasingly blurred as genres like romance gain visibility, & there’s going to be room for works with a literary bend + openly sexual sensibilities (at least…i hope lol!)
December 4, 2025 at 2:56 AM
good question! i’ve admittedly focused more on the side of expanding what we consider literary/canonical to give credit to how “genre” works have unique capabilities equally worth studying (i wrote about romance novels & queerness for my master’s thesis, lol)

in an ideal life Jensen’s off becoming a career scholar and gaining a cult following with his students, but in this one he makes do with weekly book swaps❤️
(plus, being able to recite poetry can be a big hit for romance~}

oh absolutely, the true test of spirit is getting knocked down a peg and seeing how much you like it 🤣

their friendship + their solid family lives really gave a good counterpart to the rougher parts to be sure, but they def both recognize that their childhoods could’ve been worse & value the bond they have as a result 🤗
December 4, 2025 at 2:47 AM
they’re so wonderful if i do say so myself 😭
December 4, 2025 at 2:22 AM
i love when people think they’re being sneaky & the other person has known the whole time 😍😍😍
