Too busy running from the feds to drabble? Life of crime getting in the way of your art? We get it.

For the final lap, instead of adding a bonus day this time around, we’re happy to announce that we will allow #RoDAW submissions until Wednesday, August 25th!

We invite those who didn’t get a chance to participate this week or those who just want to participate again to join us. As always, anyone and everyone is welcome to participate! Whether it be fan fiction, art, moodboards, shitposts –  we’re accepting anything you wanted to create or share for #RoDAW but couldn’t.

Remember to tag your content with #RoDAW and tag this blog! If we don’t reblog your post within 24 hours, feel free to shoot one of the mods a message, and we’ll get on it.

Lastly, we invite you to join us on Thursday, August 26th for send-off discord server where we will reminisce about Ride or Die as a book and the past RoDAW events as a whole! We’ll release the invite link on the date.

We hope you’ll ride again with us one last time.

Come hang out with us and reminisce about Ride or Die! One day only: https://discord.gg/s6s8FgcS

Falling

Pairing: Logan x MC (Ellie Whitnall); Colt x MC (past, mentioned)

Book: Ride or Die (~27 years later)

Word Count: ~1800

Rating: PG-13 (innuendo)

Summary: Taking a leap - together.

Author’s Note: Written for @rodappreciationweek. Decided to take advantage of the extended posting window for a little follow up/epilogue to my two previous pieces submitted this go around - “Sliding In” that was written from Logan’s perspective and “Then and Now” from Ellie’s perspective in this same general time frame. This piece is also from Ellie’s perspective, so it probably functions more as an MC Day post, but it focuses a lot on her budding romance with Logan in their mid 40s, so he is heavily featured as well. Thanks so much to the RODAW team for hosting!

“Where are you taking me, Troublemaker?”

Ellie glanced over at the passenger seat, smiling as Logan scanned the passing landscape. “I told you, it’s a surprise.”

The traffic around LA had, as always, been a nightmare. But now that they were far enough southwest and on the I-15, she was able to open things up a bit, actually get a little bit of speed. Not as much as she would like, of course. That wouldn’t come until the last stretch of the drive. But it wasn’t the stop and go, heavy traffic that plagued the freeways of LA itself.

What Could Have Been

Author’s note: Back in March, @playchoicespodcast​​ made this suggestion about a Colt x Logan and I wrote this piece. It took me forever, given how confident I feel about writing Colt and mlm pairings, but I finished it. This is my last work to @rodappreciationweek​​ extended submissions. Thank you all for hosting it one last time. Btw, If I missed the deadline, you can totally ignore it.

July 2021

Colt stretches his arms on the bed, then crosses them behind his head and looks out the window. As the moonlight seeps through the curtains when the wind blows, he heaves a sigh. Only a handful of things bring him as much pleasure as basking in the afterglow, but when it’s combined to a calm night, there’s nothing like it.

His eyes dart to the random girl he hooked up with as she shifts to the side and places one of her hands over his torso. He looks down at the large hand, then at her. Despite the manicured nails and properly moisturized palms, it has some small scars and calluses. Her long fingers move and down slowly, making Colt remember a different time when a hand like hers rested on his chest.

It's the last day for @rodappreciationweek well, the extension anyway and because of something that happened this morning, I'm feeling... free and celebratory.

So, I have decided to share something made for the next chapter of Second Chances made by the incredibly talented @annasassiart (a long ass time ago)

Here you have it, my dears, Logan and Ellie's reunion. I would tag y'all but I'm on my phone, in my car, waiting for food.

It’s the last hurrah for the extended @rodappreciationweek and as I was still unable to complete the fic I was writing on time 🥺, I thought I’d share this instead as my little contribution for the finale. ☄️❤️‍🔥

(Dang it, I forgot to write “for a moment” ahssjdkdldl)

[RoD] Pixel Person MPC Tutorial - Part 1 - Supplies

I intended to just share the patterns for the Pixel People version of the RoD characters for @rodappreciationweek but a few folks expressed interest in more detailed instructions, so I spent entirely too much time writing up a How To guide because I'm a nerd. and a craft nerd. and then realized it was way too much information for one video, so I split it into 3 parts.

Part 1 will go over supplies, and includes the patterns, with a color chart. Part 2 will show you how I stitch one of the pixel people, and Part 3 will go over how to finish your project to display and/or wear.

We don't know much about RoD MC's childhood or her mother, but I like to think these unanswered questions are opportunities to be creative. So here's my MC's childhood in pictures: Carla was a girl scout until sophomore year in high school, she loves camping and hiking and Riya was always around 😊

Book- Ride or Die

Logan x Ellie

Word Count- 2798

A/N- No warnings I can think of except mild swearing. This took a long time to come out, didn't it? Oh, well, it's here now and I gotta say, I'm moderately happy with how it turned out! I hope you all enjoy Logan's POV and as always, I truly appreciate every like, comment, reblog, and all of you, my dear readers.

Running For You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go.

Drive.

The clutch hummed beneath his left foot, the other pressed on the brake. Hand gripping the shift knob, he squeezed his eyes shut and tried to breathe through the pain. If he looked at her, even a glance, he wouldn’t be able to leave. And he had to leave- for her. He had to leave.

Just get the hell out of here and drive!

He released the clutch and opened his eyes at the exact moment he hit the gas, and he drove away. Away from the only girl he’d ever loved. Away from the only one who’d ever loved him. Away from the foolish fantasy he’d allowed himself to believe the last few months.

He knew how this would end from the start; it had been stupid to think otherwise. She was a light in the dark, smart, and beautiful, with an entire world of possibilities just waiting for her. He was a punk high-school drop-out car thief going nowhere but prison or six feet under. He would only bring her down and he wouldn’t let that happen. She deserved more than he could ever give her. She deserved everything, and without him in the picture, she was free to get it.

And so, he drove, only making it a couple of miles from her house before the tears welling in his eyes blurred his vision enough he couldn’t see. How could it hurt so much? He asked himself. How could anything hurt this much? He pulled over and turned off the engine, chest tight and heaving as he struggled to breathe… and he cried.
