    Summary

    Not Great. Just Gatsby.

    This in-depth exploration of Jay Gatsby's past comes from years of OBSESSIVE research and work, all with my usual desire to completely recontextualize and destroy your understanding of this stupid book. Nick had his say, but there's a lot he doesn't know about Jay. A lot he might have been told but isn't willing to put on paper—or worse, things Jay couldn't bear to tell Nick.
    This story will go a chapter per year, covering his time with Dan, his time between Dan and the war, his time with Daisy—and just why she's so impossibly important to him—his years rising up with Wolfshiem, and that one final year before he dies. We'll get to the very heart of the manipulation and desperation that pushed his man until his untimely end.

    Summary

    Alex has everything he's ever wanted. Happily married to the woman of his dreams, a baby daughter, and backup quarterback for the Zuzu City Tunnellers, he'd be the first to admit how lucky he is. Sometimes, when we're on a roll, we push our luck. Just how much will Alex gamble, and how much is he prepared to lose.

    A slow-burn story spanning the consequences of addiction, unresolved issues, and finding support and comfort in unusual places. Through his mistakes, Alex learns about life, himself, and what it really means to be a man.

    Can probably be read without reading the others, the final work in the series, this story covers life five years post-marriage for the couple, as well as some end-game mechanics and events, and a look at things away from the farm and town. Some tags to be added as we go, but the important ones are there. I will also give a heads up for anything triggering.

    This is going to get a bit dark. I am not sorry.

    Summary

    her whole life, zoey had been too much. she hid her dreams and her love and wore herself thin for the sake of others, just to fit in.

    and then, beneath the tree where one of the sunshine sisters fought her last battle, she met mira and rumi. her life fell into place, slotted perfectly between the two of them.

    huntrix was her dream in every way, and zoey wanted to keep living it forever.

    ~

    Zoey flattened her palm to Mira’s face, then trailed her fingers along her jawline, just as she’d replayed Mira doing to her in her head countless times before. It was sharper than her own, the bone and muscle solid beneath her fingers, but her cheek was soft and warm.

    She didn’t feel at all like a prince. There was everything to lose.
