In such a natural motion that I begin to wonder if he realizes it’s even happened, he raises his arm above my head so that it rests on the bench behind me, his hand almost curling against my arm.

Even just the thought of the touch makes me relax into the gesture.

When I read Book 3’s latest demo and got to this scene in A’s route, I knew I had to bring it to life somehow. I mean, Adam? Relaxing and opening up about his past? Willingly?! I’m still geeking out about it!

Becky, you were an absolute dream to work with. There are no words to accurately describe the level of talent and poise you possess. Thank you so much for perfectly capturing such a sweet moment between Adam and my dear Ramona. You were well worth the wait!

So I saw this video on Instagram where this woman was pranking her partner and basically she randomly got all dolled up and claimed she was just going to the grocery store to see how they would react. Do you think UB would have any funny reactions to that prank??

This is probably not at all what you were looking for, anon, but the second I read this I was immediately hit with inspiration. Long story short, your ask allowed me to complete my first fic after over a month of intense writer’s block. So I hope you enjoy my dumb little Adam drabble because I am seriously so thankful for you rn 😭

All Dolled Up 

Rating: General

Word Count: 1,308

Pairing: Adam x Female!Detective (Ramona Gibson)

Summary: Ramona selects a highly unconventional outfit for her trip to the grocery store. Adam is not amused. 

Notes: This is my first time writing specifically for Ramona which has me feeling all kinds of happy. Her name is only used twice and there are no pronouns used, so hopefully it’s not too distracting if you want to imagine your detective instead. But I’m so excited to finally give Ramona a voice and I hope you all like her as much as I do!

"Oh, come on!" I mutter angrily, about ready to rip out this stubborn curl that has decided to flop in front of my face yet again. My reflection stares back at me through the hallway mirror as I shove the lock of hair back in place for what must be the hundredth time in the past five minutes.

I don't even know why I'm putting so much effort into some lame practical joke anyway. The fact that I'm even doing a prank at all is completely ridiculous and so unlike me. Surely Felix hasn't been that much of a bad influence on me the last several months, right? But then again, he was the one who brought this concept to my attention by showing me some video he had found a couple days prior before not-so-subtly suggesting I try out the same thing on a certain Commanding Agent next chance I get. 

And somehow despite my reservations I ended up taking Felix up on his proposition and spent the better half of one of my rare evenings off getting all dressed up for what exactly? Just to get a rise out of Adam -- something that I can do just fine without having to fight to get my hair under control or squeezing into a form-fitting dress and high heels? Sounds like a hell of a waste in retrospect when it seems like all I have to do these days is breathe in his general direction to press his buttons, given how much tension there's been brewing between us the past couple of weeks.  

Now that I think about it, maybe it's that same tension that has me feeling compelled to act out in this way. Perhaps this whole thing was bred out of some desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, seeing me all done up and glamorous will give Adam the push he needs to throw away his inhibitions and finally-

No. I won't even entertain the thought.

This is just a silly little prank amongst coworkers. No big deal.

Renewed determination quells the nerves in my chest and I give my reflection a resolute nod before squaring my shoulders and striding down the length of the hallway. With one final calming breath and a whispered "You can do this, Ramona," I give the living room door's elegant brass handle a twist and step inside.

No turning back now.

Adam is sitting on the worn leather sofa near the fireplace when I enter the living room, looking lost in thought as he stares into the crackling flames with a deep-set frown. He breaks from his pensive state and stands at the sound of my footsteps before turning to offer a greeting, but the sight of me, or rather my outfit, makes the words get caught in his throat. When he does eventually speak, it's in a voice so soft I nearly miss it. 

“Ramona...”

Heat blooms on my cheeks both at the unexpected use of my name and the way his gaze passes over every inch me with the reverence and care of a lover's caress. With the help of the dim light from the fire's glow I am able to detect a glimmer of desire in those icy green eyes, the intensity behind them making my brain fog up with so much steam that I nearly forget about the practical joke I'm supposed to be pulling entirely.

"Hi," I offer pathetically, immediately clearing my throat to dispel some of the tension in the room and restore power to my malfunctioning brain. Miraculously, it manages to do the trick as even Adam seems to break out of the trance-like state he was in. He folds his hands behind his back, adopting the familiar rigid stance I've come to associate with the Commanding Agent when he's attempting to appear guarded and aloof.

“I haven’t heard mention of any formal events in your schedule," he remarks cooly. A soft smile grazes my lips when I notice his gaze still lingers on me a few seconds longer than necessary despite his attempt to convey casual disinterest. "May I ask where you’re headed?”

I smile, everything from the expression on my face to my body language a perfect picture of innocence as I deliver the punchline. “Just to the market to grab some groceries."

I wish I had brought a camera to record the speed at which Adam's eye dart up to meet mine, immense confusion overtaking his features. Suddenly I'm not so sure which reaction I enjoyed more: the unmistakable attraction radiating off of him in waves when I  had first arrived or the perplexed, almost outraged look on his face now.

"You’re welcome to come with me if you’d like.”

“I beg your pardon?” Adam scoffs, ignoring the invitation and instead cocking a brow and folding his arms disapprovingly as he studies me with a far more judgmental eye than he had before. “I fail to see how cocktail attire is an appropriate garment choice for a supermarket.”

Oddly emboldened by the clear distaste in his words, I decide to push a little further.

“What, you don’t like it?” I reply in mock offense before turning once in a small circle, my pace deliberately slow to give Adam the best possible view of the way the fabric clings to my every curve while I try not to get too wrapped up in the feeling of his eyes hungrily drinking me in once more.

“I didn’t say that.” Adam replies once I've finished my little display, coughing lightly in an effort to hide the slight strain in his voice as he speaks. “However, my point still stands. You are far too overdressed for a simple errand run. I would highly suggest you change into something more practical that is better suited to the task you aim to complete.”

Oh, now that's a bit of a mood killer.

Really, out of all the possible outcomes I was hoping to get out of this, an impromptu lecture from Adam was not one of them. The heat that was steadily building up between us fizzles out at his commanding tone and annoyance quickly takes its place.

Must he always be such an ass?

The indignant scoff that escapes my lips this time is completely genuine. “Says the guy who wore a button up and slacks into a sewer not too long ago.”

“I-You—Those were entirely different circumstances!" Adam splutters, clearly not expecting to have that particular incident brought up again, let alone in the middle of a debate he was so certain he had won just a moment before. The disbelieving look I toss his way helps him regain his composure quickly and his expression hardens once more as he fixes me with an icy glare. “And even if they were somehow similar, my motivations for doing so were far more commendable than whatever ridiculous excuse you’ve managed to come up with for this, I'm sure.”

“Oh really?” I mimic his stance, folding my arms across my chest and raising a challenging brow. “And what were those motivations exactly?”

“I...“ My chin proudly raises in triumph as I watch Adam’s stony mask crumble, a blush now rapidly coloring the pale skin of his face and neck as he struggles to speak. I must admit his reaction comes as a bit of a surprise. I’ve never seen him quite so flustered. And clearly neither has he judging by the way his gaze darts around the room in search of something, anything to rescue him from the nightmare this conversation has turned into.

"Well?"

Just as the red tinge on his cheeks is beginning to reach tomato-like levels of intensity Adam suddenly straightens. “I have work to do.”

And with that he turns on his heel, quickly marching past me and out of the room.

Detectives Ramona Gibson and Daniel Livingston template (x) The photoshop gods hath shined down upon me today so I thought I would go ahead and introduce you all to my babies :)

#oc: ramona gibson #oc: daniel livingston #ah yes the soft girl and the sad victorian boy #the funny thing is they're both mad depresso #Ramona's just much better at hiding it #oof I should really get around to developing my other two detectives #but I love Ramona with everyone so much that I just...don't wanna lol #also do not feel obligated to interact with this post lol this is 100% self indulgent

[agentfreckles]

What would you (or your detective(s)) set as the contact photo in your phone for each member of UB??

Oooh good question! Ramona is a photography buff, so I think I’ll go with her on this one. Because she’s into photography, I think she’d be less inclined to use posed shots or selfies and instead would likely gravitate towards candid photos that capture what she feels is the essence of each member. 

Adam:

-Early romance: A shot taken from a small distance of Adam during one of his signature brooding sessions. He’s got a far away look in his eyes as he stares pointedly out of the living room window with arms crossed and a heavy frown on his features, looking every bit the troubled man who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. 

-Deeper romance: A black and white photo taken mid conversation during a quiet afternoon stroll through one of Wayhaven’s more scenic areas. He asks her why she insists on taking his picture when the nature surrounding them makes for a far more captivating image and when she calls him her muse he is momentarily stunned. She captures the shot just as he drops his gaze with a soft smile playing on his lips, the barest hint of dimples visible upon his cheeks. A moment later he recovers and suggests she find better subject matter to which she chuckles and politely declines. 

Nate: A tranquil shot taken during one of their biweekly library hangouts/unofficial book club meetings. Nate’s settled comfortably into one of the plush armchairs and engrossed in a well-worn copy of one of his favorite novels, his face radiating the kind of peace and contentment that can only come from getting lost once more in a beloved fictional world. 

Felix: A photo of Felix laughing taken right after hearing a particularly crude joke from Mason. He’s clutching his stomach and his head is tossed back, eyes shut tight and mouth wide open with the biggest, brightest grin you’ve ever seen. 

Mason: One of those super aesthetic bad boy photos taken during the last stretch of a late night patrol. He’s leaning against the wall of a building, hands shoved in the pockets of his leather jacket and a lit cigarette hanging from his lips. There’s a street lamp not far away, yet he still manages to remain half hidden in the shadows. 

#oc: ramona gibson #I'd do Daniel as well but he'd only have ones for Felix and Nat #he's too afraid of Ava and Mason to ever dare take a photo of/with them #so those contacts stay blank unless Felix puts one of his own photos in there #unit bravo #ask freckles

3,5 and 9 for the route questions with M!

Oh my gosh hi!!!! Thank you so much for the ask! Ramona’s M route is my second favorite next to A’s, so I am super jazzed to talk about it :)

Ramona x Mason 

3. How does your detective personally feel about M’s pet name? And with it now being used unsarcastically in the Book 3 demo, has that changed?

-At first it was something she just rolled her eyes at because he started using it back when neither of them were fond of each other, so she knew it wasn’t meant to be flattering. But since then it’s grown on her to the point where she’s almost fond of it. Hearing it said genuinely in the demo, however? Oof. Not to mention the sucker punch that was him saying it while expressing concern.

5. Saying that M has the carnival picture, how do you think your detective will react once they find out they have it?

-So Ramona’s been keeping Mason at an arm’s length this entire time because she knows she has strong feelings for him that he doesn't reciprocate and she doesn't want to get hurt again. It’s silly, but the carnival was special because for one night she was able to let loose and and give into the fantasy of what she and Mason could be. So to find out that Mason still has a remnant from that night, that maybe he’s also thinking back on that night some level of fondness would just ahhh...the hope that would instill in her dude, I can’t even begin to tell you.  

9. How does your detective feel about M not remembering their past?

-On the one hand Ramona’s kind of sorry for Mason because she thinks of all the fond memories she has and couldn’t imagine not having anything to look back on, no semblance of who you were and the journey you’ve taken to get where you are now. But then she thinks of that horrific mirror scene and thinks maybe it’s a good thing Mason can’t access those parts of himself. He also doesn’t seem remotely bothered by his missing memories, so as long as he’s okay with that she supposes she can be too. She’d be lying if she said she wasn't curious, though.

How often do Ramona and Adam cuddle? And are they affectionate in public at all? Also, I’d love to know if you have any couple songs for them!

Meg!!! Always happy to hear from you! Thanks so much for the ask :)

How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA?

-Adam and Ramona lean pretty heavily on the modest side of affection when in public. It’s not necessarily that they have an issue with it, but if they’re out in public they’re usually working and they’re going to be much more focused on that than anything else. PDA can also be a little bit difficult when you have people like Felix ready and waiting to fluster and embarrass the two of you with some loud comment. So while they do manage to sneak in some PDA here and there, it’s usually much more on the subtle side of things: hands brushing, maybe a quick peck on the cheek or lips, briefly running a hand along the other’s cheek. That kind of stuff. 

Privately they’re a lot more openly affectionate. Intertwined fingers, foreheads pressed together, proper kisses, warm embraces, you name it. Ramona’s more likely to initiate, but once the love fest gets going Adam becomes a much more active participant. And Ramona is always up for cuddles as long as Adam is willing (and even if he says he’s not, he’s ridiculously easy to convince). They’re both also particularly fond of walking up behind the other to hug them from behind and rest their chin on their shoulder as they watch them continue whatever it is they were doing. Adam doesn’t do it quite as often as Ramona does, but any time it does manage to happen she immediately melts. 

What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise?

-I have several songs I've been gathering over time that I hope to put together into a playlist eventually. But the one from the list that I feel captures Ramona and Adam best is What You Mean To Me from Finding Neverland the Musical. Listen, I know this route is angsty (and believe me, Ramona and Adam come with a lot of angst, even without factoring in the emotional mess that is their romance) and I absolutely have songs that touch on that on the list. But the crux of this pairing is how deep and all-consuming their feelings for each other are. These two are so ridiculously into each other it’s unreal. That's why Adam pulling away is so difficult and why the constant tension between them always has them gasping for air. I mean, just look at the lyrics:

Every instinct, every feeling Breathless, all my senses reeling  Cannot even say just what you mean to me

Oh these two are in deep. And yet they still continue to dance around each other because they’re both too scared to take that leap of faith. So they just pine and suffer in silence while I curse for myself for creating such a disastrous pairing.

Hey Cassie!! How about N3 and N13 for Ramona, and F9 and F15 for Daniel. Thank you! 💕

Thank YOU Meg!!!! Especially for the Daniel questions. You’re the first one to ask about my scaredy boi and for that I am eternally grateful ❤️ Dude could use some more love!

Ramona x Nate

3. Is your detective aware at this point about N’s tendency to deflect? And if so, how do they feel about it? Do they want to push it slightly, or they hoping that N will come to them when they are ready to talk?

-Answered here!

13. Did your detective save N or Sanja? Why do you think they do so? And how are they feeling about the aftermath? (Sanja dying, N getting hurt, both being fine in the end) Do they regret their decision?

-Sanja. It was an extremely hard decision or Ramona to make, but in the end she knew Nate being a vampire would give him a better chance at making out okay. She’s glad she was able to save her and return her to the maa-alused, but seeing Nate like that broke her heart. She doesn’t know if she could stomach being put in that same position again. 

Daniel x Felix

9. If in a relationship with F, how is your detective settling into it? If not, is that something they would want now, or are they still unsure, and if so, why?

-Daniel and Felix kissed that night in the Warehouse living room, but since then Daniel has expressed a want to take things slow and Felix has graciously obliged. He likes Felix a lot, but he’s never really been in a relationship before and he doesn’t want to screw anything up. And while he’s come around on Unit Bravo being vampires, the supernatural world is a lot to adjust to. Taking things slow with Felix will allow him to ease into the transition from fearing supernaturals to dating one while lowering the risk of him up and bolting. 

15. What is your detective’s relationship with Rebecca like? If they saw the conversation that she has with F before the end of Book 2, what would they think?

-Daniel and Rebecca have an extremely strained relationship. He grew up feeling very lonely and isolated and Rebecca’s absences were a huge part of that. He’s always operated under the assumption that she never wanted him (heck, she hadn't even wanted kids in the first place) and he’s just a burden on her life, so any progress between them is extremely slow going. If he had heard Rebecca’s conversation with Felix at the carnival, honestly he’d be kind of angry. Felix is a good person and has made him feel things he never thought himself capable of. He makes him happy in a way Rebecca never has, never will as far as he’s concerned. She’s never taken an active interest in him before, why now when he finally has a reason to smile? 

#sorry for the delay on this #I legit had to go back and speed through Daniel's route #but thank you so much for sending these! #oc: daniel livingston #oc: ramona gibson #nate sewell #felix hauville #ask freckles

[agentfreckles]

After I sent you my theory about the LT, I got to ask you about it haha . So numbers 5, 9 or 10 (that is either Bobby/Douglas route) and 11 from the LT questions? :)

Ahahaha I suppose I deserve that after the discussion we had. Thank you so much for sending these and for making such a great list!

Love Triangle

5. What do you think is keeping your detective in the LT in the first place? Are they truly conflicted with the two of them, or if there is a heavy lean toward one side, what’s stopping them from letting their feelings for the other person go?

-I think the level of conflicting feelings is largely dependent on where we are in the timeline. At the beginning up until partway through Book Two Ramona had an extremely heavy lean towards Nate, like ~95%. From that first day in the office she was hooked. But she kept running into these odd tense moments with Adam (maybe Ava, still undecided tbh) that she couldn’t explain nor wrap her head around. And they gradually increased in frequency in Book Two until you had massively heavy hitters like the dining room scene and everything with Sanja that suddenly made Ramona hesitate with Nate where she never had before. So I think it’s that weird unknown of just what is going on with Adam that prevents her from committing fully to Nate at the end of Book Two. And until she gets those answers about what’s really going on there, she’s going to stay trapped between them. 

9. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think N and A will react once they find out?

-They did, though it was unwanted. Ramona and Bobby have a very sordid past and she’s never been able to escape his clutches fully. So having him advance on her like that just added a whole other layer of stress on top of her conflicting emotions about the carnival that she really wasn't prepared for. I don’t even think the possibility of it coming up has ever crossed her mind, so when that little bombshell drops it’s going to be rough. I think Adam and Nate’s reactions largely depend on just how Bobby reveals it and spins it in his favor, but I am very nervous for the outcome. 

11. If your detective saved Sanja, how are they dealing with the “I wish it was only me”? How do they feel about it? If they saved A, how do they feel about A saying they were happy the detective came for them first (Even if A does say they shouldn’t feel this way)

-Not well lol. Adam’s “I wish it was only me” was the final nail in the coffin that ensured Nate and Ramona wouldn’t be getting together at the end of Book Two despite it being Ramona’s one wish for months up until that point. So now it's left her in this precarious position where she knows she still wants to be with Nate (and she told him as much at the end of the book), but she just can't take that plunge just yet. Not while there’s so many questions surrounding just what’s going on with Adam. So she plans to push a little harder in Book Three to find out where Adam stands, though she hasn't thought far enough ahead to find out what she’ll do with that information once she gets the answer. 

#dang you've really got me itching to replay that LT #honestly it's probably the most intricately planned of all my Ramona routes #I've got every single detail laid out and know exactly when and where things shift in either direction #all I need to do is hope the actual text will support my narrative when the time comes #so far it's all gone exactly to plan #oc: ramona gibson #adam du mortain #nate sewell #ask freckles

[agentfreckles]

for Ramona! 1 and 6 for A's route, 3 and 7 for N's route! -nataliehsewell

Thank you Riv ❤️ And apologies in advance for all the numbers I sent your way lol. 

Adam

1. What is your detective’s feelings on the month separation between Book 2 and Book 3?

-Ugh she can��t say she’s a fan. Ramona was really hoping she and Adam were finally getting somewhere after holding hands at the carnival and to see him blatantly avoiding her hurts deeply. She wants to believe that he’ll come around again, but at this point she’s starting to lose hope. 

6. If your detective heard Sanja’s prophecy for A, how would they feel about it?

-Hmmm I think she would be kind of torn. While it’s nowhere near the level Adam’s is, he and Ramona have a similar hesitancy when it comes to the possibility of exploring their feelings for each other. She’s being very cautious because she doesn't want to end up making a huge mistake that leaves her heartbroken like her disastrous relationship with Bobby did. So, while I think she would agree with the “the light will greet you” bit, the ominous “the darkness to come may swallow you both” line would give her pause and likely stick in the back of her mind for quite a while.

Nate

3. Is your detective aware at this point about N’s tendency to deflect? And if so, how do they feel about it? Do they want to push it slightly, or they hoping that N will come to them when they are ready to talk?

-I think Ramona’s starting to become aware of Nate’s deflections, but she gets it. Opening up can be difficult. I don’t necessarily think she’d push him as much as gently remind him that she’s here for him and ready to listen whenever he’s ready to open up. He already did so once, so she’s confident he’ll do so again when he feels the time is right. 

7. What does your detective think of the glimpse into N’s past in the house of mirrors and their “not guilty” judgement?

-Ramona’s heart aches for Nate for sure. While she’s often wondered what Nate’s past looked like, she never would’ve imagined such a horrific scene. After finding out how the judgment process works with the maa-alused, she’s glad to hear that he isn’t still carrying around the guilt of whatever happened there. But she is curious about what the full story is and that detached look in Nate’s eyes during that scene in particular has remained at the forefront of her mind.

Hey Cassie, for Ramona in the ask meme! F2 and M14? :D

Hi!!!! Thank you so much for sending these!

Ramona x Felix

2. We know F has not seen much of the human world. Is there anything that your detective would like to show or do with them that they had not experienced yet?

-Oh man, so much! Ramona definitely took note of Felix’s reactions to both the carnival and paper airplanes. Honestly, any little thing she can introduce him to would be fantastic. I think what she’d most like to do though is show him Wayhaven, like really show him. All the little hidden spots, the seasonal festivals, everything that makes this tiny town special and so dear to her heart. This is Felix’s home now too and he should see it for all it’s worth. 

Ramona x Mason

14. What do you think drew your detective to M? And when exactly was the moment, where it was “yes, I like them” (If they’ve admitted that to themselves, of course) And if not, what’s stopping them at this point?

-Initially? Your guess is as good as mine lol. Ramona and Mason did not get along at all to start with because they’re about as opposite as opposite gets. But in a similar fashion to her Adam route, that first fight (post talking to Kate in Mason’s case) ignited a spark that Ramona just can’t seem to shake. She writes it off as nothing more than a silly attraction and spends much of Book One actively trying to ignore it, but unfortunately for her she is the exact kind of shy type that Mason can’t resist teasing at every turn. But despite his brusque nature he grows on her and she him. It isn’t until she meets Unit Bravo again after that two month gap between Books One and Two and notices how genuinely happy she was to see Mason again that she realizes that silly attraction has evolved into real, solid feelings. And that’s where the fun really begins.

Not the nice M anon, but I saw that "I hate talking about my detectives because no one cares".

I CARE! I love getting to hear about everyone's detectives just as much as you do - that includes yours!! Share more with us and don't feel shy or like we don't care!

We wanna know their thoughts on book events, their favourite colours, how they spent their days before meeting their soulmates and how they spend them after. Anything - but I know I at least, definitely enjoy hearing anything you share 💕

Oh man I really need to stop putting everything in the tags because y’all don’t miss anything! I was being a drama queen and I appreciate the gentle “hush, child,” because I honestly needed it lol. 

But yeah, I totally agree! It’s so awesome to learn about everyone’s detectives because there’s such a wide array of personalities and backstories, especially now that stats are really starting to affect how the story and characters respond to you. And you can really see the thought and care people have put into them too. But I don't know, anytime I have the opportunity to share mine I feel this intense pressure to sell them as something worthwhile. Which is supremely dumb because the only thing that matters is that I like them and I like them very, very much. But I need to get more comfortable with that fact, so I hope you don't mind if I indulge a bit and answer those little questions you tacked onto the end of your ask :)

Thoughts on book events?

-Both Ramona and Daniel are big bibliophiles so they think book events are pretty great! Ramona likes to attend with Nate whenever possible, whether he’s romanced or not. Daniel’s not a fan of crowds so he prefers to stick to smaller affairs where he can sort of blend into the shadows and not be bothered by anyone. He’s still a bit awkward about the whole having friends thing so he hasn’t invited Nat to any yet, but he’s thinking about it. 

Favorite colors?

-Ramona enjoys neutral palettes, particularly those with peach undertones. This is often reflected in her clothing choices. Daniel likes sad boi colors like subdued blues and grey, which serve as the primary color scheme of his apartment. 

How they spent their days before meeting their soulmates vs. how they spent them after?

-Ramona spent her days in a pit of emotional despair hidden beneath a soft, friendly façade before meeting Adam and little has changed since then, though light is beginning slip through the cracks and illuminate the once impenetrable darkness. Daniel felt like a walking failure and still mostly feels that way, but he’s never felt more like someone of worth than he does when he’s with Felix and little by little he’s starting to believe that maybe he isn’t such a waste of space after all.

Work Wear: Light and Dark Academia. Clean, crisp lines with an touch of coziness. Small lean towards earthier tones. 

Sleepwear: Lightweight sweaters with shorts or leggings for maximum comfort. 

Fancy Evening Wear: Floor length fit and flare gown or a trusty LBD to add a little class to a more casual event. Classic silhouettes and a strong preference for dark jewel tones. 

Mission Wear: Stylish yet practical and easy to move in. Tries to keep colors somewhat muted, but could probably stand to incorporate darker pieces in the future. We’re working on it.

for the route questions - 1, 3 and 11 for the LT!😌

Ahh! Thank you so much for the ask! I’m always happy to get the opportunity to deep dive into the hellish abyss that is the LT route. So thank you 😊 

Love Triangle

1. What way is your detective leaning (if at all) Why do you think this is, and has this changed since the beginning of the LT? If so, why has it?

-Depends on where we are in the series! From the beginning of the series until roughly halfway through Book Two, Ramona was leaning very heavily towards Nate and Adam was just an odd blip on her radar that certainly gave her pause, but she didn’t put too much thought into. But the increase in frequency of heavy moments with Adam as well as the latter half of the book featuring several emotionally intense situations has sort of disrupted Nate’s large lead a bit. So by the time of the demo instead of it being roughly 95%-5% in favor of Nate, the scales sit more around 70%-30%. Adam’s half of the scale is going to fluctuate quite a bit in Book Three if my narrative goes the way I’ve planned it, but Nate will hold steady to his lead even if it ends up shrinking a bit. Mid Book Four to Book Five is where I plan to steadily start flipping the scales in the opposite direction. 

3. Did your detective start a relationship with N? If yes, why do they think they did so? If no, what was going through their head when they said they couldn’t/wanted to take it slow at the end of Book 2?

-Ramona didn’t so much turn Nate down as she said “not yet,” if that makes sense? Like she told him she wanted to say yes, but that moment just wasn't the right time. It’s funny; Ramona’s been daydreaming about dating Nate since Book One, but when he hinted at asking her out on a date in the dining room scene she hesitated and it completely threw her. Hadn’t she been wanting this? How many times had she pictured this exact moment? Why now after all this time of wishing is she suddenly unsure? It isn’t until after the Sanja rescue mission that she gets her answer: Adam. There’s this something there. She doesn't quite know what it is or what she’ll do if she finds out, but she can’t commit to Nate until she figures it out. 

11. If your detective saved Sanja, how are they dealing with the “I wish it was only me”? How do they feel about it? If they saved A, how do they feel about A saying they were happy the detective came for them first (Even if A does say they shouldn’t feel this way)

-Answered here!

So I’ve been seeing those ‘send flowers to your favorite mutuals’ asks floating around recently and I was lucky enough to receive a couple of them from some lovely anons which was so sweet and not expected at all. What I also wasn’t expecting was to be surprised with another one of those posts today, this time featuring a drawing of my detective???? I mean???? Look at it! There’s Ramona and Molly’s on her shoulder and they’re both so cute and perfect and I just 😭😭😭

@spoopity-boopity I cannot thank you enough for this, really. It was so sweet and so incredibly thoughtful and...I don’t even know what to say dude like. This fandom’s kindness continues to amaze me every single day and I hope you all understand how much this blog and this community means to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.
