Hello, my lovelies! I have posted my reader-insert fanfic of "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" by V. E. Schwab. I think it would probably make sense even if you haven't read the book, but I would highly recommend reading the book, because it's incredible. 
          	
          	I am posting the first chapter on Wattpad as a teaser. However, because there will be certain adult content later in the fic, I am not posting the full story here. Instead, you can find the full story on my AO3 account by following the link below.
          	
          	https://archiveofourown.org/works/71385836/chapters/185783811
          	
          	Alternatively, you can search AO3 for "A Dance with the Dark" by R_V_B.
          	
          	I apologize for making you go to a different website, but I really don't want to get kicked off Wattpad. I have heard of other authors having issues with stuff like this, so I'd rather play it safe. And, if you don't want to make a whole other account on AO3, you can read the story as a guest. 
          	
          	That said, please keep in mind that while the first few chapters are full of nothing but angst and fluff, there will be smut later. (I just haven't decided how explicit it will be.) Thus, this story is for mature (18+) audiences.
          	
          	Happy reading! And thanks for sticking with me across time and multiple websites!

@ReiaBritannia Ha ha! What a time to be posting a new story, just as AO3 is going through that 20-hour downtime for maintenance today. I've never read the book but I so enjoy your writing so I'll definitely check it out over on ao3!

Hello, my lovelies! I apologize for dropping off the face of the Earth. It was never my intention to be away from my fanfics for so long. I truly did not understand how much grad school would take out of me, and on top of that, I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life. 
          
          That said, I am preparing to release a fanfic from Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I will probably post a teaser on Wattpad, but the actual fic will be on my AO3 account, because it gets steamy. *blushes* So keep an eye out for that!
          
          Lastly, I have been feeling financial stress of late (like a lot of people are in this horrible economy), so I am thinking of starting a Patreon for my writing. However, I'm not sure what kind of subscriber benefits I should offer, so any ideas? I've seen people do things like writing classes and personalized stories, but I am totally open to incorporating whatever you all think would be worth a subscribe. Leave me a comment and let me know!
          
          I hope you all are staying safe and joyful out there!

Hello, lovelies! Kudos if you are still here (and kudos if you are currently surviving the mess that is the good ol' USA). Grad school has kept me quite busy. I'm hoping I'll have more time to write after the semester ends in May, but we'll see. 
          
          In the meantime, let me tell you a little story. A year ago, I read "The Serpent and the Wings of Night", and I developed a massive crush on Ibrahim. *spoiler alert* Dude came into the competition at a severe disadvantage, yet he consistently pulled it off due to wit, ruthlessness, and sheer force of will. Unfortunately, we hardly got to see any of it, and there is literally no Ibrahim content anywhere. (I checked, only found 2 TikToks and 0 fanfics.) Fast-forward to yesterday when this popped up in my memories, and now I'm salty all over again. So, hypothetically, if I were to fill this void by writing a fanfic or two about Ibrahim, would anyone be interested in reading that? 
          
          Hope you all are well! <3

Grad school is best at keeping people busy  like I'm barely surviving, hang in there bud

So, my phone autocorrected, and his name is actually spelled "Ibrihim". Just had to put that out there, because perfectionism. Also, names are important.

Hello, I dont know if you will read it, but i really want to know if you are going to continue the second oneshot book, because I love the way you write endlessly and I can't help but hope that you will still delight us with your works.
          Thank you for all your previous books, they really helped me in more ways than one

@FierreLennan Hi! My hope is always to continue writing. At the moment, I'm in grad school, and I haven't had the time. All I can say is that maybe I will update at some point in the future.

Hello, lovelies! I just started a Bluesky account, so please give me a follow @reiabritannia.bsky.social! That will be the spot for WIP's & all things writing/fandom-related going forward. I will be retiring my Twitter/X account, because I don't agree with the things Elon Musk is doing. 
          
          Hope to see you on Bluesky!

To my American friends and, because no country exists in a silo, my friends around the world:
          
          Like many of you, I have experienced a range of emotions today. I am deeply saddened that over half the country has chosen a regime of fear and hatred. I am scared of what this means for me, my friends, and the world. I am also grappling with a sense of surreality. I feel like I woke up in an alternate reality or a strange hallucination. Today doesn't seem real.
          
          But it is real. And we need to address that.
          
          Throughout the day, a few quotes have played in my mind. These quotes have helped me articulate the mess of emotions swirling inside me. They've given me a sense of comfort as they reminded me of some of my favorite stories. And they've provided me with a glimmer of hope and purpose as I face this future. 
          
          "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon, we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this: You have friends here. You are not alone."
          
          "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
          
          I invite you all now to think of your favorite stories. The epic tales. The ones that have stayed with you through the years. 
          
          Things got pretty bad for our heroes. They all reached a point where the world looked too bleak, where it seemed evil had won. But despite the pain, and the loss, and the hopelessness, they did not give up.
          
          Neither should you.
          
          You might say, "Those are just stories. This is real life."
          
          Yes, they are just stories. But they reflect real life. They teach us important lessons. They inspire us. They give us hope for a better world.
          
          And in the words of G. K. Chesterson: "Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
          
          Dragons can be beaten.
          
          I urge you, in the coming years, to not let fear and hatred win. Please, be kind. Find the good and protect it. Stand up for what is right. Believe in a better world.
          
          I do.

@ReiaBritannia Take care Reia, i hope everyone can get through these 4 years together

Hello, lovelies! Happy spooky month! 
          
          I apologize that I haven't been able to publish any stories lately. Grad school is even more intense than I thought it would be. I basically wake up, go to school, go home, do homework, and go to bed. There isn't much time for anything else, unfortunately. 
          
          That said, I would like to gauge interest on something. I have been sporadically working on a short story, and I posted a WIP of it on my Twitter this week (the one about the girl in the jungle). It's a completely original work, not at all related to Levi or anime. If I posted the story on Wattpad, would people be interested in reading it?

@ReiaBritannia With your writing, I would love to read it! You have a way to make anyone invested with your stories. I would for sure read it if you do decide to post it <3

Hello, lovelies! Thankfully, I continue to not be dead. This summer has been extremely hectic, and I've been struggling to keep up. Most of it was spent planning for a big move that I just made. I'm now living in a new city and starting grad school. 
          
          I hope I'll be able to start posting something again soon, because I really miss it. At this time, I can't tell you what the schedule will be like moving forward. I can tell you that I plan to branch out and write more than just Levi fanfics. (Apologies to those of you who are only here for that.) But I do still have some Levi in my WIPs folder, so I won't be migrating away from him entirely. 
          
          In the meantime, please continue to follow me on Twitter and look out for those WIP Wednesday posts!
