Ellery and Malcolm’s relationship is so underrated. They’re predictable because they’re both the main characters, but also not I can’t explain why. But they aren’t forced or out of nowhere and they’re very cute and natural 🥺

hi hello!! i was wondering if you had any ezra headcanons (from tckas)? i just finished the book and i LOVED it.

yes yes yes i love ezra

he knows that ellery thinks that he's silly for always believing in sadie but in his mind if he can't believe in his mom then... who can he believe in?

he's a big fan of the great british bake off (he loves the juxtaposition of the intense bakes and the incredibly helpful contestants)

he used to watch reruns in california when he and ellery would wait up for sadie to come home

his grandmother teaches him to cook during his senior year and it makes him feel so powerful

he never has to resort to microwave mac & cheese again

he discovers a love for baking pretty soon after he learns to cook and he makes great pastries

he gets on really well with declan

i think he feels really responsible for ellery because she's always moody and he has to be sunny to make sure that she doesn't turn into the next sadie and declan knows what it's like to protect his sibling from things that they aren't ready to deal with

ellery never really bonds with her half siblings but ezra loves them

and they love him

he's such a doting uncle

he instills a love for rock music into his nephew and his half sister is jokingly annoyed about it

he grows his hair out again after a few months of living in echo ridge because he finally feels happy again

he actually reaches out to katrin after the dust settles and writes her a really long email about how he understands the pressure of wanting to make parents happy and he hopes that she is doing okay and that she eventually learns that she's her own person separate of who her father expected her to be

katrin actually responds and they become something similar to penpals

ezra doesn’t go to college

he works for an indie radio station in burlington

he always thought that he would move back to california but he loves vermont so much

and he gets to be near ellery 

he never talks about it but he has always been shaken by the death of his aunt -- just like ellery he can’t imagine being forced to live a life without his twin

he swears off romance while he tries to get his own radio station but the guy he works with in burlington wears elbow patch cardigans and is adorably terrified of rock music and ezra falls in love right on the spot

ez and mia stay best friends for their entire lives

they live together in burlington after college

ART!!!! I don't often post my art here but yeah!!!

My self insert with Jack 💕💕💕

SOME .. RISQUE DRAWING OF RHYS UNDER THE CUT

The second one might become a scene in TCKAS. I'm on the fence about whether I want to add smut to it.

i keep going back to this idea but oh my goodness, i need to see more of this in anti-harem stories:

other people except for mutt being nice to the reader/trusting the reader from the beginning

cause it’s just so interesting thinking about all the different things that would happen with specific skellies. the potential drama, the chaos that might definitely happen, how the story will continue, i am just so curious on what could happen and. i need to see it.

#[ staticky rambles ] #i am still thinking of the papyrus idea i made however many months ago #no i will not write it #most likely #.... seeing as i have 3 stories up rn and various other ideas that i need to flesh out and finish #but omg #it just really gets ur mind going #cause i wonder how the story would go #if sans classic trusted the reader #or stretch #or blackberry #or edge #but i feel like... lowkey if edge was to replace mutt in an anti harem story #that red would either trust the reader immediately #or hate 'em #ANYWAYS #just. it sounds interesting and !! #alright lemme focus on my tckas #i'm almost done this part.

[lizzieehearts]

never underestimate how fast i can read a karen m mcmanus book

#finished ybtdom n read all of nmtt in a day . read tckas in an hour . im unstoppable

[maeverojaskinnie]

Just saw a tiktok comment that said “Always those unnecessary romance subplots in those McManus books” and honestly couldn’t agree more.

#like most of the relationships in her books have zero development #like …? #one of us is lying #oouil #one of us is next #oouin #two can keep a secret #tckas #the cousins #you’ll be the death of me #ybtdom #karen m. mcmanus #karen mcmanus

[glitterandgoldrush]

How many of Karen’s books have you correctly guessed the reveals for?

spoilers obviously

i guessed the final line of tckas like… one chapter into the book because it literally says “two homecoming queens” and sadie was the homecoming queen so i was like ? yeah it was obviously supposed to be sadie. i didn’t even think it was a reveal like i literally assumed the entire town would guess that they had been mixed up. also guessed it was peter bc he was creepy as hell, but i did think katrin would have a bigger role than she did

oouil i guessed the simon suicide but not all the moving pieces like janae and jake and how it all fit together

oouin i guessed that it was phoebe’s sister because i mean…obviously?? but i never guessed the owen reveal that had me SHOOK

and you’ll be the death of me i did not guess a single thing—i mean except for the fact that lara was involved somehow but that was a pretty easy one. everything else came flying out of left field 😭😭

also i haven’t read the cousins yet but i will keep updated on how i go!!

[sccoobydoobers]

the whole time I was reading TCKAS I thought that there was going to be a 'Sadie is actually Sarah' thing or something like that, but I didn't think it was going it be literally.

#tckas #two can keep a secret spoilers #karen m mcmanus #ohmygod do think Sadie knows now? that it was meant to be her? because SHE was the one having an affair? #my post

[one-of-us-is-fangirling]

Anyways, I miss Ellery from TCKAS rn.

SPOILERS!!!! I don’t know if y’all have read Two Can Keep A Secret (which you totally should) but MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

You have been warned!!!!!

Some of my favourite bits from Two Can Keep A Secret.

This shit took a quick fucking turn and I love it.

For most of the book it was like “ok this person did it probably involved with this person.” And then it just did a fucking 180 like SIKE BITCH IT WAS DADDY.

ooh can you do the perfect ending thing with the cousins and tckas characters?

milly

i feel like milly had a really good ending? i think that she really wanted her mother's love and approval and she totally got it, plus she got to learn about her family's history so she kind of got everything that she wanted.

jonah

i would love for jonah to have gotten a college scholarship. he just wanted to go tot college and his dad and anders had to ruin that for him. he and milly are adorable and i love how well he gets on with aubrey.

aubrey

i really, really wish archer had moved in with aubrey and her mom. aubrey needs someone in her corner, and her mom's great but archer kept clippings of aubrey's swim coverage because he was so proud of her and that's the energy aubrey needs in her life.

ellery

i feel like a perfect ending for el would be her truly not hearing what peter said. there's no way that ellery would find someone to tell the secret to, so it's just going to eat at her for the rest of her life. she's super protective of the people she loves so she'd never tell anyone else and have them suffer like has to now

malcolm

mal kind of already got the perfect ending? he's moving away from echo ridge, his brother is innocent and actually likes him now, and he's obviously going to date ellery.

ezra

i'd love to see ezra having a conversation with sadie. her addiction + the death of sarah influenced his life too, and it would be great for him to get some closure.

mia

like mal, i feel that mia's in a good place. maybe her parents could say they're proud of her? or at least stop putting pressure on her to be like daisy? but other than that she seems happy.

New TFTBL au fic just dropped 😋‼️‼️‼️

"Two Can Keep A Secret", canon divergence where the vault key was never intercepted by Rhys. He works on Helios, an utopian type society, and is trying to climb the Hyperion food chain. One day while running an errand, he gets a little too curious about a blinking light in a lab sealed away from his eyes...

Now that people reminded me that it exists, I want to do more with my sastiel AU again. I’m not sure how much will come of it, but hey, it’s got a name now! (So I can actually tag the three posts that exist and find them again in the future lol) In case anyone’s interested, it’s  Two can keep a Secret And yes, I know how the saying originally goes, but there won’t be any murder in that Universe. I mean, hopefully there won’t be :P Sam’s a laywer, so maybe a little murder on the side...
