find the word challenge
rules: share snippets of your work containing each of the words the previous poster selected for you (optional addition: if you can't find the word in your WIPs, or you simply don't have any WIPs, you can just write a sentence around the word)
thanks @the-likesofus for the tag!! very excited to see how many of these words I've used...
my words are: quiet, hold, cover, first, together, and small. unsurprisingly, my fake dating au (currently sitting at almost 30k words like it has been for the past few months...) has all of these words multiple times lol <3
quiet
Buck’s phone rings, and he pulls it out of his pocket, his hands shaking when he reads Bobby’s contact name. He answers before he can even register it. “Pops?” His voice is quiet and terrified.
hold
Hearing footsteps from his spot on the couch, Buck tenses as Nathan comes up the stairs. It’s been so long, but Buck can still recognize the man’s footfalls. He lets out a breath he’d been subconsciously holding when Nathan finally appears and moves towards one of the armchairs across from him instead of the couch.
cover
“Jurassic Park!” Chris yells, and Buck has to cover his ears against the sound, the kid’s excitement causing him to be louder than usual. “Please, Dad, I know it’s kind of scary, but they just put it back on Netflix, and I’ve seen it before! Plus, I’m ten now, I won’t have nightmares!”
first
“I don’t want you to get hurt again,” Eddie says, meeting Buck’s gaze. His eyes are soft and despite his words, they shine with support, and Buck thinks—not for the first time—how lucky he is to have a best friend like Eddie.
together
Nathan’s study abroad had been nearly over when Buck brought up the idea of him going to Los Angeles to fight fires and help people. Nate had just nodded before taking Buck’s hand and kissing him, saying he’d buy the plane tickets in the morning. Buck had assumed they’d be going back together to be together.
small
Eddie glares at Chim when he insists on playing with the station’s small Hildy gadget that they keep in the kitchen. They mostly use it to play music, but Chimney takes the opportunity to ask her a bunch of questions throughout the day and only stops when Eddie threatens to run her over with a fire truck after Chimney starts asking her questions about the 118 themselves.
words for people I tag: home, care, love, make, and dream
no pressure tagging @mooshkat @jacksadventuresinwriting @ty-in-bedlam @lilbuddie <3

Hi guys, welcome to our new weekly segment: Feature Friday. Once a week, we’ll be hyping up one of your favourite authors and recommending five of their fics, some old and some new, so that you can re-read all of your old favourite stories, or maybe even discover a new favourite! If you have someone you’d love to see in this segment, send us an ask here on Tumblr, or message one of our helpful mods on discord. 
Our next author @auddieliz09 is an absolute sweetheart who burst onto the writing scene in July 2018 and has since written 21 Thiam fics for our reading pleasure. This author balances hot, steamy smut with tooth-rotting fluff, but either way, she’ll leave you completely satisfied! Though we can only tell you about five of her wonderful stories today, rest assured that they are all excellent and you should read them all. 
Little Wolves and Baby Ducks [ Teen // 64K // Complete ]
A collection of drabbles depicting the inner monologue of a Chimera of Death hopelessly devoted to a small angry werewolf. AKA all of the season 6 Thiam moments from Theo’s point of view.
EDIT: NOT DRABBLES! I REPEAT, NOT DRABBLES. Look, I might have underestimated how much I love Theo Raeken and his snarky attitude. So now it's all of the season 6 THEO moments, plus a bunch of plot hole filling. (You're welcome.)
You ever wonder what Theo was up to during season 6? Look no further! This fic does a phenomenal job of piecing canon together and staying true to it, while also adding depth and layers to the story. Like how did Theo’s truck riddled with bullet holes magically get fixed? Inside this fic are all the answers! Your heart will ache for Theo, you’ll be proud of him, and you’ll remember all the wonderful reasons that you fell in love with him as he falls head over heels for Liam Dunbar.
***
Caput Mortuum [ Teen // 16K // Complete ]
Liam had pretty much resigned himself to never leaving his home, but then HE moved in.
Or
The one where Liam is a ghost (but not really) and Theo buys the house he haunts (but not really).
Don’t you just love fics where Liam gets cursed by a witch? This story is a huge favorite of ours! There are honestly no words for this fic, but we will do our best! Your heart aches for Liam as he tries to be seen and as life starts to pass him by. Enter Theo, who is determined to take care of the house and sees something in it that Liam respects. Cue friendship and relationship and lots and lots of feelings!!!
***
Check You For Ticks [ Mature // 10K // WIP ]
Theo Raeken, lead singer in a famous Alt rock band, tired of riding on the tour bus, and drags his best friend/lead guitarist on a short road trip to the next stop on their tour. Or, at least, that was the plan, before their rental car broke down in a small midwestern town. Enter Liam Dunbar, local jack of all trades and aspiring solo artist, who’s also a big fan of Theo’s band and Theo in particular. While waiting for his car to be fixed, Liam shows Theo that small town life isn’t as boring as he always thought it would be.
It’s funny. It’s sexy. It’s your favorite boys in a unique setting. City boy meets country boy but better. This fic has music, jokes, tattoos, classic songs, dogs, and good ole boys with hearts of gold and punk souls. We cannot recommend this fic enough! And if you show the author a little love on it, we can guarantee that she’ll be pushed to keep writing it! (But seriously, we demand the next chapter. Please? Pretty please?)
***
Sugar Rush [ Teen // 8K // Complete ]
"Welcome to Sugar Rush. What can I get for you?"
"I'd like a you to go, please."
Remember that tooth-rotting fluff we mentioned earlier? Well, it doesn’t get any sweeter than this! This fic will make you melt like cotton candy on your tongue as you watch Theo get drawn into Liam’s baby blues again and again. He can’t stay away from Liam or the candy store his mother owns, and we can’t stay away from this fic! It’s the kind of story that you’ll bookmark and come back to again and again when you need a pick me up. 
***
Dream Come True [ Explicit // 10K // Complete ]
Liam and Mason have a standing after-Christmas tradition: 5 days of unsupervised bro time at David's cabin. This year, Mason plans to bring Corey along. (“Corey is your bro, Liam. It counts.”) Liam invites Theo so he doesn't have to be a third wheel at his own vacation. When Mason and Corey end up with other plans, Liam gets to spend the week alone with Theo. Which might be a problem, considering his huge crush on the surly chimera. How is he going to survive 5 days alone with this guy?
This is absolute peak thiam. It has everything you possibly want or need in a thiam fic. Mutual pining? Check. Snarky banter and stupid dares? Check. Mild jealousy? Check. Not very subtly checking each other out? Check. From start to finish, you’ll be grinning from ear to ear. A must read.
