hello!! update!! New Join the Dance chapter, and I’ll be reading Waiting for Sunrise, etc. in the rest of this week :) 

dear tbob fandom, if i’m a little absent for the next month or so, it’s because i’m trying to get my act together as I haven’t been feeling great lately. luckily for you, it means I’m going to try to write that elusive story called Join the Dance by the first week in October - so I’m not entirely dead, I’m just working hard  - and convalescing - instead of commenting on your wonderful fics or message boards. I will return to you, though, so never fear. xoxo

I LOVE STEAM TRAINS 

Hey just wanted to check on you and see how you’re doing with finals and whatnot, make sure you haven’t lost your mind fully yet, and if you’re still dealing with tests and stuff wish you all the luck and send all the love

i’m sorry it’s taking me a long time to update; i’m nearly finished with the join the dance chapter, i just want it to be really good and having a Latin test every week is really not helping with that.
