Chapter Text
Nope, this isn't the fic at the end! Just giving additional thanks and also providing a key for folks to go through and visit the fics I shouted out and referenced in the story, with some possible explaining of the jokes behind 'em.
So, without further adieu:
Raid Boss Of My Heart by FlareonGerl - And There Was Only One Healer by UmbreonGurl
they call her love, but i call it hearbreaking by cookedspudfeline - they call her heartbreaker, but i call it love by bakedpotatocat

Night in Dad Leather by Firestarer - Knight in Black Leather by Watergazer
lakes til i leave you by AmNotPain - rivers 'til i reach you by amibaguette
(So, this one original was a FrostedFlake fic - who is also made up! That was a placeholder- I meant to stick baguette in before going to post and totally forgot. Sorry, baguette!!! Also, Pain is french for bread, so ‘am i baguette’ ‘am not bread’ is the joke here)
I commence each day fibbing, and retire with confession by earthrovers - I start the day lying and end with the truth by spaceshuttles
may or may not have been coerced into scribbling this (this is a ShaBo lovers to enemies lmao) by JupiterLines60 - may or may not have been forced to write this (this is a Caitvi enemies to lovers idk what else to add) by MarsBars06
chocolates, raindrops, butterflies by jacketumpour - sunlight, quiet, flowers by cotareane
(this one’s an audible pun - cotareane is pronounced “Coat-er-rain”, thus, “jacket-um-pour”)
Nine And Two by Falcon_W - Six and One by sparrow_z

kinda young hearts by lehackoon - like old souls by thehaakun
Life Bus by smartsaggitaurus - Death Drive by dumbaquarian
(Fun fact! Aquarian is the person that inspired this entire fic.
discordmademefamous is based off of this fucking loser , if anyone - I knew they’d be in the fic and I didn’t want to take a parody author and actually have them speak - it felt disrespectful? So instead I basically made Vi and Cait simp over me which felt much better for some reason >_
Anyway, that’s it! Thanks again for reading, guys. Comments make our lil fandom spin ‘round.
