☆ Welcome!

☆ I'm just here for fun. Sometimes I post my writing. Trying not to take this too seriously. I promise to try real hard not to disappear anymore.

☆ I don't keep a masterlist, but anything I've written can be found under #my writing.

if music be the food of love, play on

Nanami Kento x reader. You're the proud owner of a new music store that just opened up beside Kento's Bakery, a beloved oasis on a busy street of a quaint small town. Nanami is cold and unwelcoming when you first meet, but as the weeks pass, he discovers that there's a world of music and happiness right at his doorstep.

Tags: bakery owner Nanami, female musician reader (main instrument is piano); lots of technical talk about music; lots of food mentions (it's a bakery au, afterall); fluff, Nanami doesn't have a sorcerer background, Nobara and Haibara as supporting characters, first kisses, little bit of pining, smidge of angst for Nanami's back story. I've been nursing this for months and finally found the time to finish it today. Before you ask about a part two, please know that it's being considered, though it will be slow based on how long it took me to write this. (If this seems familiar, you're not crazy. This is a re-upload from a regretfully deactivated blog.)

See end notes for details on the music mentioned throughout the story and an explanation of the title. 6.5k words. Dividers by the lovely @/cafekitsune.

While most of the city is still fast asleep, Nanami Kento unlocks the front door of his bakery and steps inside, ready for another day of creating the neighborhood's best loved bread and pastries. He works alone until his front of house staff arrives a little before 6:00 a.m., when it's time to open to the public. Every morning is the same– by the time he flips the little sign on the door from Closed to Open, there's a case full of fresh baked pastries that have each been handcrafted with loving skill by Nanami's hands. It's meditative for him– ingredients, measurements, time, routine, a well-loved butcher’s block table, intoxicating aromas and his favorite music playing on an old record player. He has an affinity for the classics: Vivaldi, Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky. But on weekend mornings, when the strict weekday regimen is more relaxed and free, it’s jazz. 

HI SWEETS!

I'm really good! I've got a routine for meds. Thank God the injections are over, because I've got some mean looking bruises on my belly. Most of the surgical glue has flaked away (I might have picked at it a leetol bit...) and I'm feeling better and better each day! I'm getting in a little over a mile a day, plus doing little stuff around the house to avoid sitting for too long. Overall, I'm feeling amaaaaazing!

I am taking my daughter to the mall today for her birthday. She turned 11 this week, and her favorite thing to do is shop (look out hahaha). Should be a fun day! And maybe tonight I'll come back and put some of my old fics back in my blog where they belong.

Are you off this weekend? I haven't been here a whole lot this week, so I'm sure I've missed some of your posts. Anything new you wanna share?

LOVE YOUUUUU

i was tagged in that self-rec fic game, but it made me realize that a lot of my favorite fics aren't here anymore 😭😭. should I re-upload them, or just let it go? (why am I so fickle?)

Truly one of THE sexiest moments in the game. He's dangerous, he's dirty, he's fearless, he's Arthur fucking Morgan. I'll never get tired of watching this scene.

Recovery is going well! I think I overdid it today- I shampooed carpet and did some yard work, and I'm a little sore now. I'm on the couch with the heating pad though, so it's all good!

Hope you're having a good start to your weekend!
