Fuckmkkkkkfkdjdjd I have a better fic coming out later for day 14
You and Spencer were busy working a case, one that was urgent enough that you were busy working till incredibly late hours just to get to a crowded police station at incredibly early hours . Well, it wasn't needed that you stay there so late, actually discouraged so you didn't have to walk back to the hotel, but you wouldn't listen.
You make it into the hotel at around 4am, taking off your thick coat, drizzled in snow and stepping out of your boots.
You turn to the bed when you hear stirring, finding Spencer to be sitting up, the most adorable bedhead sprouting all around. He waves at you before opening his arms, mumbling a hoarse “Come. You're gonna cuddle me.”. It sounds like a threat, and it might even be, but you don't think on it too much before you're walking over and crawling into his arms.
Spencer winces from how cold you are, pushing you to hover over him so that he can feel around your icy skin. “Did you not wear a coat or something? Christ.” He mutters, the concern evident in his sleepy voice. You smile and shake your head, saying “No, I wore a coat. Big one.”, to assure him.
He just hums in response, grabbing your arms and rubbing them, trying to warm you up. Your smile grows, your head slipping to rest on his chest. He groans in frustration, rubbing your arms with more pressure to try and warm you up better. “I swear, you don't hold heat, how the hell do you get so cold? You're like.. that blue guy from adventure time. You don't.. you feel like a literal piece of ice.” He babbles, making you chuckle.
“If I wore more layers, I'd start to sweat. I wear three on a daily basis because of the suit-” You start, but he cuts you off saying “Three!? And that big ass winter coat? My god, you should be begging to take a dive in a deep pile of snow from how hot you are, but now it feels like we have to bathe you in lava to bring your temperature up by a single degree.”.
You laugh, finding it hilarious how baffled he is by your icy cold temperature. You lean up, pressing a kiss to his cheek, hearing him whisper-yell “Even your lips are cold!”. You grin at the opening, whispering “Why don't you warm them up with yours?”. His face almost immediately flushes red, but he leans down and smacks his lips against yours anyways. The kiss lasts until he's satisfied with the lack of ice cicles coming from the roof of your mouth.
He rolls you onto your side, tucking himself into you, trying to share his body heat. He glances over at the alarm clock, finding it's nearly 5am now, his head whips back around to you. “Go to bed, we need to be up in 2 hours.”
There's zero argument from you, content to finally get a bit of rest before dealing with the shitty local police. You shut your eyes and snuggle into him, hearing him still mumbling about your absurd cold temperature.

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!
Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.
Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3
Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.
Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.
Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.
Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.
Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

See the ambiguity of “Jolene” is what’s great about it, we have no idea what Jolene is like as a person. We have no idea what her relationship is to the guy, we have no idea if it’s in her nature to be a homewrecker, we have no idea if she’s even interested. We have no idea if the speaker of the song has convinced herself that Jolene is some uniquely irresistible beauty with borderline-supernatural power over any man she likes because it’s too painful for her to believe that her guy just doesn’t care about her enough to not pursue any woman that is in his line of sight. This song is fundamentally not about Jolene and completely about a desperate woman who’s in a relationship that’s weighed against her and I don’t think Dolly Parton is that person, because she knows this is an unreliable narrator. But Beyoncé clearly took the song at face value and thought Jolene was the one with the power and thought actually telling Jolene off would be putting an empowering spin on it, so I think she may actually be that person.

I don't care what the hatman says I firmly believe Ahsoka is not describing Anakin as anything other than the most cringefail jedi ever.
When she finds out Anakin is Darth Vader? The same Vader she's been fighting against for a decade? The same Vader who's crimes she's had a front row seat for in the rebellion? Who killed all the friends and family she grew up with and is now also killing the new friends and family she's managed to scrape together in the ashes of everything she ever knew? Who puppets around the 501st, her and Rex's brothers, the men who trusted him with their lives, as nothing more than mindless murderers? Ohoho she wants him dead sooo bad. She takes 3 business days to process then comes back with full murderous rage unlocked. She's outside his evil lair banging pots and pans together telling him to square the fuck up, Master. Her Cain instinct is fully activated. Move outta the way old man, Ahsoka's going to do what she must and she's actually going to follow through with her words.
Obi-Wan's got the cornerstone on depression, Ahsoka's got rage covered, together they almost form one healthy grief response. (I'm imagining them both living at the same rebel base post O66 and the twins going between them for wildly contrasting takes on their dad lmao)
