NEW FIC FOR PLAYER WEEK 2025!!
          
          New fic is NOT in my normal one shot’s book but hiding in ‘Player Week (2024-2025)’ 
          
          Fic is titled ‘Sadness As a Gift (1/3)’ and it gets pretty angsty, go check it out! :))
          
          It’s got two more chapters to go! Can’t wait to see your reactions :) 
          
          
          DISCLAIMER!
          Due to my selection of a new writing program (as writing on Wattpad is crazy) posts on Wattpad will now be slower in comparison to ao3 as I have to manually transfer italics. I recommend you guys keep track of new releases on tumblr (mmaricarmen23) or subscribe to ao3 (maricarmen_23). But it’s up to you, this is only if you’d prefer to be aware of new releases ASAP— otherwise if you’re happy to wait a few days extra then we’ll get along just fine!
          
          Happy reading!!! <3333

CRASH AND BURN (new book)
          
          For those of you who don’t follow me on Tumblr (mmaricarmen23) Crash and Burn is my new fully written Carmen Sandiego fanfic estimating 8 chapters. It is not proofread/edited yet, so between releases that’s what I will be doing.
          
          ((I understand you guys have been disappointed by some of my discontinued stories, which I am very sorry for— but I can promise that this will not be the case for this one, as it has already been written! Just awaiting editing. I have been working on this since Feb ‘24, so to say I’m ecstatic to finally be sharing it is an understatement!))
          
          GO READ THE FIRST 3 CHAPTERS NOW!! 
          
          
          Post series Carmen wakes up in a van with Coach Brunt in the middle of nowhere. When everything goes wrong they have to put aside their grief and work together.
          
          It goes explosively worse than expected…

          Summary:
          "I made you the best version of yourself." Brunt whispers, leaning forward, now crouched before her broken, feeling weapon.
          
          Carmen shakes her head tiredly, "I didn't want that— I didn't want any of that and you knew it." She spat.
          
          Brunt shakes her head, "That never mattered. You were made for it."
          
          Carmen stops; and for a moment it's just her and a mother figure in the dust of a collapsing building. Heavy breaths, sweaty palms, and the burning atrocities around them as a VILE stronghold falls to the ground...
          
          OR
          
          Where it all ends…
