Rated M, although the sex in this chapter is fade to black.
Summary: Yang’s been feeling under the weather, and Blake persuades her to get a checkup. The cause of her symptoms comes as a shock, with lifelong consequences when they decide to keep moving forward.
Chapter summary: Another chat with Raven, and sharing the news with friends.
This fic earns no AO3 archive warnings to my knowledge, but to be safe there's a trigger warning included at the start of chapter 1, and at the start of this chapter, just in case. There is some darkness to this story, but I think it is balanced by the fluff.
I'm not sure if @bumblebyweek-blog is still reblogging, so I'm tagging just in case they still are, but I also wanted to thank the mods @foxaoxarts and @set-wingedwarrior for organising Bumbleby Week, and for reblogging all the fics and art. It's much appreciated, and all the reblogs are going to make it so much easier to catch up, although it'll take me a while, especially with this fic still to finish.
The things we grow to care about, that leave an indelible mark, come and go throughout our lives. When the final page of a chapter comes, take a deep breath, and carry what you gained onto the next.
Thank you, to everyone who worked on this series over the years.
The familiar smell of your lover where their neck meets their shoulder
it’s nameless. you couldn’t apply language to it and do it justice if you tried. it’s a hug going on longer than it’s meant to, wearing their sweatshirt on the way home and crying because it smells so inviting. it’s sinking into a kiss, using their shampoo in the shower, burying yourself a little deeper in the sheets because you’ve never felt so comfortable. whenever they ask you to describe their smell, all you can think is warm, familiar, mine. when you ask them to describe yours they say: it smells like you. home is wherever you can be beside them. everywhere you go is perfect as long as you’re together.
*COUGH* what are these descriptions-*HACK*
Anyway yeah sure- I'm but a simple man and a sucker for your hugs what can I say 😔😔

Thank you to everyone who submitted their prompt suggestions and voted!
The official tags for this year will be #bumblebyweek and #bumblebyweek2024 ! We'll be making another post concerning the tags once the date nears, but for now know that those will be the main tags that we'll be using during the event in order to reblog and share what's made!
If there are any questions feel free to read our Q&A or send us an ask! We apologize for the delayed announcement and thank y'all for all of your support and participation! We can't see what you'll make this year!
Usually we host a pool to decide in which week we should host the event, but from now on that won't be necessary because what better week than the one of theis kiss' anniversary?
So let's pin down the date, because we're telling you already that this year the week will be from 25th of March to 1st of April!
About the prompts, you'll have a week from next monday (12th of February) to send your prompts, then the next one (from 19th of February) to vote your favorites! You can send your proposals with an ask or a direct message, whatever you prefer. Don't be afraid to send us whatever prompt you like!
We're not giving you too much time to send prompts because we like to include past ones in the pool, so we actually have lots of them already. You know, we like the variety!
Like past years, we'll be keeping the classic "AU Day" and "Bonus/VA Apreciation Day", and the two of us will personally pick out a prompt each of our liking. So, when the time will come for you to vote you'll have to pick up to four prompts.
Rules too are the same as past years, but we will be reblogging and sharing them again soon for new fans, or as a general reminder, so don't worry about it
That would be all, if there are any news or changes we'll post it here! And, as usual, our ask box is open if you have any question!
