Did you know? Me!!
One of the reasons ofmd hit me so hard was that the love stories felt natural and REAL. It was so refreshing to see that rather than arty nekked time for the ratings!

It's a sweet ace4ace fast burn. I love the use of POV here!

My fic for today is a sort of sequel to a fic from last year’s Aro/Ace Week (The Hottest Ace at Pride)! Take a look at what our lovely couple gets up to at Pride events now that they’re together! (Hint: it has to do with spreading aro and ace acceptance)

My favourite microlabel to explore in fics is aegosexuality. It's the one I feel closest to and there's so many varieties. "The Things Bodies Do" by @fangirldeedee.bsky.social is a gorgeous, sweet and kind story where Ed and Stede explore what it means for Stede. 💞

I'm not sure what the label for Stede would be in The Space Between Us, but I'm sure there is at least one for him... Whatever it is, he's happy with himself and his wants and needs.
