Happy opening day, my dude! How are things in your neck of the woods? I hope you're doing well!

Hi my dude! Baseball is back!!! I'm doing really well, actually. Especially since my boys in the orange and black are looking good. Hope you're doing well, too :)

Hi my dude! Hope you're well. I bet you're happy the Giants are in the playoffs. Now they have to beat LA. I know a Yankees fan I've been giving a hard time, too. How's life in CA otherwise? I'm trying to remember what grade you're teaching and if you're teaching history. The D-backs tied the Orioles for worst record in baseball, so hopefully we'll get a good draft pick. Take care, my dude, and have an awesome week!

hi my dude!! well. it was fun while it lasted. go braves!! (but really go red sox lol!) despite being out of the playoffs, i couldn’t be happier with our season. this was a great team that far surpassed all expectations, and that is something to be proud of!

life is good! i’m teaching second grade and having a ton of fun with social studies. it’s raining right now!!

i hope you’re doing well too, my dude! have an awesome week 🖤🧡

Did littlebird006 change her account name? I can't find Journeyman anymore!

hiiii! she didn’t! her account was terminated but she’s on the case to get it back!

[giantbandgeeks]

Well, my dude, y'all have the best record in baseball and we have the worst. I keep trying to be cautiously optimistic. One of my family members said, "I'm sure they're going to win another game this season, you don't want to miss it." Haha. How's your end of things? Anything else exciting happening? Have an awesome week, my dude!

it’s crazy!!! i can’t believe that the giants are the best in baseball... it is sooooo not what i anticipated at the beginning of the season. and yes you have to keep watching just to make sure! the season is loooong so there’s still time to turn things around!

i’ve been ok! i just finished my first year of teaching which was the craziest year ever, but ya know what? i loved it. and next year will be better! how about you, my dude? i hope you’re doing well!!!

Hi my dude! My apologies for being away for a while. Happy opening day! I hope you're well. How's life in CA? How are you feeling going into this season? Enjoy your day! :)

No worries, my dude! Happy belated opening day! Our opener definitely didn’t go as planned... but I always knew relief would let us down. How are you feeling about your Diamondbacks this season?

So with making Harry the dad would they have had a drunken hook up?? Or how would that work since they were strictly bffs that early on in the first one

this is probably going to be a longer answer than you were expecting LMAO ok here it goes. i actually have a tiiiny tiny tiny bit of this written, but now i think it’d play out differently than i thought; i’ve had the idea that if i rewrote sits i’d write harry as tristan’s biological father for a long time now. 

so, in the Actual Sits, the morning after harry’s birthday rorie flies to vegas for a swim competition two weeks early for training and the birthday of one of her teammates. i didn’t really portray this in the story, but in my mind they had already been close to confessing their feelings for one another at this point. rorie shutting harry out after getting pregnant off a one night stand threw this way off course. 

now, in my hypothetical rewrite that’s never gonna happen, i’d start the story with an alcohol fueled confession of love/attraction/messy stuff the night of harry’s birthday. harry asks rorie to stay and one thing leads to another... rorie would spend the night at harry’s and fly to vegas the next morning. they don’t lose contact while she’s gone, but things are different than they had been during their friendship. they both feel the shift but are scared to address it through the phone. so, rorie is in vegas for a month for her swim competition (i figure she gets there two weeks before the event, the event is about two weeks). by the time she’s back in london she’s had a missed period and is freaking out. harry is trying to get her to meet up so they can talk about the sexy times and wanting to be in a relationship, rorie is dodging and is scared to take a pregnancy test. but then she does. and obviously she has to tell harry what’s going on (whereas in Actual Sits she hides from him until she knew she was pregnant for a few months). she plays it off like “this shouldn’t change things, i can’t lose you as a friend” and harry’s like “:( yeah, our friendship is more important than anything” but they both love each other!!! there’s probably less of a fight about rorie moving in with harry, but from there the structure and slow burn is pretty similar.

So if you had to rewrite SITS (which I love love!!!!) what would you change???

LOL somebody read my tags! 

Sooo the biggest difference is that Harry would be the baby’s dad. I wouldn’t have the flashbacks so up front in the beginning if I had them at all. It wouldn’t be an Olympic year. There’d probably be a lot more tension and dancing around one another. I’m sure there are a few more smaller things, but that’s all that popped to mind! 

#sits #happy to go into more detail about any of it if you want :)

thinking about all the reviews i lost on 1dff 😭

#its been YEARS and i still mourn the loss of those comments #feedback is everything #(sneaking in here that i’m currently rereading sits and yeah if i were to rewrite it harry would be the dad bye)

Where We Land

Bria didn’t crave anything more than the feeling that she got when in the air, looking down at the world from 39,000 feet. Until she met Harry.
