A little snippet of the fic I’m working on. Part 2 of the sleepover one!

“We’re friends, right Nate?” Bronwyn asks suddenly. I look towards her and see that she’s worried. Why would she be worried?
“Of course we’re friends. Unless you’re trying to trick me into saying something else…” I trail off. Bronwyn’s face goes an adorable shade of red as she looks anywhere but at me.
“What are you trying to imply Nate?” She mumbles.
I lift her chin up with my fingers and look her directly in her eyes. “What I'm trying to imply is that….I'm going to kill you!” I shout as my hands go straight to her sides. She starts laughing aloud as I begin to tickle her to death.

Do you think Nate is a boobs or ass guy, and do you have any proof?

Okay I’m gonna have to say neither, but that he is a really big fan of thighs. Particularly Bronwyn’s.

Okay so the 4 scenes so far are:

  • “All the girls wore plaid uniform skirts, and she’s got a similar skirt on now that hikes up her thighs as she crosses her ankles. The view’s not bad.”
  • “I picture her sitting next to me in those little shorts she had on when I was at her house, her leg pressed against mine, and my breathing gets shallow”
  • “Her death grip, along with how her legs look in that dress, is why I engineered this escape in the first place.”

These are all parts from the chapter where they kiss in her media room.

  • “He reaches out and pulls my legs over his lap, tracing a circle on my left knee with his thumb.”
  • “Nate’s hand moves down my leg, almost absently.”
  • “But he’s still running his hand down my leg, and finally he says, “You’re doing better than me. I never stop thinking about kissing you.”
  • “Except … I’ve been pressed against him for half an hour and I know that’s not it.” (We all know he got a boner there, right? Like he had to “calm down a little)

Thanks for the ask!

Hi. I’m here today to finally discuss something that I think we as the OOU community should’ve discussed a long time ago.

HUGO ATEO WHO PLAYS MR ROJAS IS SUCH A DILF!!! Let us normalise this please. Thank you.

I feel your judgey eyes and know that I too feel shame. If no one was gonna say it then I will.

The best ships should have a Taylor Swift song, an untranslatable word, a flower, and a color

I said I haven't tested it out but I guess I will have to now and I suppose I'll choose Kris/Cooper because 1) I haven't seen them get nearly enough love and 2) I think half of Taylor's discography fits them so it's really an unfair advantage

Taylor Swift Song: Dancing With Our Hands Tied

This song quite literally was made for them. It's about that hesitation of letting someone in, of revealing to the world that you love someone, not because you're ashamed, but because you feel like your life is far too tumultuous and you want to protect them from it. Cooper is initially so scared to love Kris in public, and he feels like he's stuck in a situation where their relationship can never progress. That's not true, of course, but it is how he feels.

Standout lyrics:

I, I loved you in secret

And darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis; People started talking, putting us through our paces

Like, c'mon

Untranslatable Word: Geborgenheit

I had to choose a German one lol and this one means love and trust and all things good that Cooper and Kris find with each other. Especially with the backdrop of everything happening with Simon, Kris is Cooper's source of comfort every time. There's never any indication of wavering love, or trust, or faith in one another, just fear of what might happen.

Flower: Bleeding Heart

Not just because it's gorgeous and Cooper and Kris are gorgeous but because the imagery is too perfect. The heart with just a little droplet coming out of it is exactly how I imagine Cooper and Kris in the early stages of their relationship, with just a little drop of hesitation, and then that drop transforms into their love for each other, so outpouring that it cannot be contained within their own hearts.

Color: Seafoam Green

No good reason for this except for the fact that it's a soothing, comforting color and I think that's what Cooper and Kris are to each other

Who's your favourite One Of Us Is Lying character?

Thanks for the ask!

In all honesty, I can’t say I have a favorite because I have a ton of favorites! I used to just say that Bronwyn was my favorite because I just related to her the most when I first read oouil, but after reading the book a few more times, I really loved Addy and Knox. Addy is just my inspiration in life at this point, and I can’t help but relate to Knox so much. I also loved Ashton and Eli and I need more of them in the third book!

if you need me, I’m just an (Olympic) ring away

Ok so the Olympics are over and I'm having withdrawal so I wrote a little absurd little thing about Ellery organizing a middle of the night watch session unbeknownst to her brother. The problem is I am deeply indecisive about which sport to do so I feel like I'll never finish it. So I am posting a (short! rough!) snippet to maybe motivate me to continue:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ezra

July 25th

I’m dreaming about the most luxurious vacation just before I wake up. I can’t remember it anymore, it having drifted away from my mind a few minutes after I recollected my consciousness, as most dreams do, but I do remember it was really good. It was definitely good enough to be grumpy when I have to gasp for air, my sister’s fingers pinching my nose with far too much aggression for the current ungodly hour.

“Wake up!” Ellery whispers, as loudly as a whisper can be. Her curls are in my face, and she’s giving me an expectant look, as if I’m supposed to know what she wants from me through twin telepathy or something. (Which, for the record, is not a thing. We might know each other very well, but that “feeling” that you’re supposed to have when your twin is in trouble? I distinctly remember spraining my ankle at recess while Ellery was playing hand clapping games with her friends. Although, she did almost get murdered unbeknownst to me, so I guess she wins this one.)

“Awake,” I mumble back, although that’s only half true. I turn to check the time on my phone: 3:00 AM. “Why do you need me?”

“We’re going to watch the Olympics.”

Ok, now I’m awake. I love Ellery, but she’s not exactly the sporty type, and she’s absolutely not the type to wake up in the middle of the night to watch sports. Save for an opportunity to show off her dangerous aim, I don’t think I’ve ever watched her willingly try an athletic activity.

“What? Why now?” I ask.

“Because it’s happening now! Time zones and whatnot,” she waves her hand dismissively, as if what she said explains everything. “You’re not very smart, are you?”

I grumble. “No one should be smart at three in the morning. And I know how time zones work. I meant, why can’t we just watch a replay at a reasonable hour?”

“It’s not as fun that way! Especially when you know how it ends.”

“No one is going to spoil you, Ellery. Certainly not me, because I still don’t know what sport we’re watching. See you in six hours.” I turn and pull my covers over my head again.

Ellery pays my comments no heed, instead leaving my room to do who knows what. Maybe this was just a weird dream of mine. Maybe, if I try really hard, I can continue the better one that I had about my vacation. In fact, I think I can probably remember where I was. It was Cancun...or Croatia. Something like that. I’m just about to return to my perfect excursion to confirm my suspicions, when Ellery bounds back into my room, something in her hands. I sigh. Why is it that things I don’t want to be dreams are dreams but things I desperately hope are, are real?

Can you rank the oou couples from favorite to least favorite?

Ohhhh boy we are in for a controversial ride

1: Cooper and Kris

coop and kris are PERFECTION they’re so calm and drama free and they care so deeply about everyone and they’re so cute and I’ve reread both books in the past week and I love them more than ever.

2: Knox and Phoebe

they’re like the accelerated version of friends to lovers and it’s so easy to tell they care deeply for each other and I can’t wait to see what karen has in store for them

3: Ashton and Eli

They’re so cute!! They had such a unique meet cute and they’re so healthy and like… domestic it’s a nice foil to every other couple

4: Addy and Keely

These two are not even remotely canon and I love them. Best friends to enemies to tentative friends to even better friends than before to lovers??? PERFECTION they’d be so soft

5: Maeve and Luis

they’re… okay? Maeve is my ultimate favorite character ever we all know this but she and Luis were very underwhelming and they jumped around a lot and as @glitterandgoldrush said Maeve really was a vehicle for Bronwyn and Nate in oouin and she wasn’t really a character despite it being HER book. Maeve and Luis had the potential to be THE COUPLE of the series and they just… aren’t

6: Nate and Bronwyn

i know I’m going to get crap for this but at this point I can not stand them. I loved them in oouil so much I like physically screamed when they weren’t together and now their will they won’t they is driving me insane. I want nothing more than for the two of them to be in a stable relationship that takes the back burner in oouib bc sorry to like the majority of the fandom but I’m so done with them. Also they were the main developed couple in oouin when it should have been maeve’s book and maeve’s relationship
