I’m still figuring out how to get the story name included in alert emails, but at least when you get an email from me, it will once again be clickable.

Thanks for your patience while I ironed this out. As a token of my gratitude, here’s another Fall to Ruin One Day teaser:

unbeta’d, subject to change… He steps out of the bathroom, but the second he sees me dressed to go the press conference, his freezes. Fuck me. He must hate how I look. “I’m sorry,” I say. “I wear separates to work. It seems people wear suits to these things, and this is the only suit [...]

un-beta’d, subject to change, usual disclaimers apply. – “I guess you want to know why,” she says. I shake my head. “I just want you to know I’m here for you. You know you can beat this–” “Don’t you get it? I did everything I could—had the gene test, went on preventative drugs, had a [...]

unbeta’d, subject to change. – Carlisle remains calm. “So it’s going to be like this?” he asks. William twitches his shoulder but says nothing. “I don’t know why I’m surprised,” Carlisle mutters. “I mean in 39 years, you never…” He shakes his head. “You never even came to see me.
