  • This is fun!

    I’m not a massive romance fan, tbh but lately I’ve needed a stronger escape from the daily downs of the world and the news. These ladies have made being a little unhinged about certain projects FUN! And god damn, I’ve needed some fun. If you’re looking for escapism like I seem to be on the daily now, I recommend! Thank ladies. Unhinged fandom fantasy is much better with a tribe!
