Um… hi? I feel like Louis when he said that he couldn’t finish the US leg without shouting LARRY CALLED A LOAD OF SMOKE IN one last time. I also don’t want this year to end while I quite literally leave y’all hanging in thin air.
I’m feeling better mentally, but there’s still a lot going on, so this is not me continuing the weekly newsletters, at least not right now. But you’re getting the November review today, and you’ll get the December review at the end of the month. Promise. After that, we’ll have to see.
Please take care of yourself, protect your own energies fiercely, and be kind to each other. I love y’all so much!!

Fic recs
📚 Vexxieverse by SomeDovesFly, 376k words, rated E
Recced by: me
Summary: OT5 poly AU. They navigate through Hollywood, life, sex, kink, and jealousy but never without abundant love. BDSM comfort fic.
Why you should read it: I only read the first two installments of this glorious series but I’m fully in love with it. It’s long and meaty, you can really dig yourself into this story and forget about the world for a long while. Beautiful character building, and a great emphasis on healthy communication. Mind the tags.
📚 “You Took My Heart By Surprise” by LiveLaughLoveLarry, 39k words, rated T.
Recced by: me
Summary: There is reason to believe Prince Harry’s life is in danger. After a failed kidnapping attempt, Louis is assigned to guard Harry around the clock. He is the best at what he does, but he has a tendency to not get along with clients. Louis and Harry start off on the wrong foot, but it soon becomes clear that neither is at all what the other expected.
Why you should read it: This is plottier than what I usually prefer, but the character of Louis is really well developed and has very interesting layers. If you like a little suspense but minimal angst, with a bit of enemies-to-lovers style slow burn, this could be for you!
Final words
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it :) Feel free to reply to this email, or message me on twitter. A cup of coffee would make me happy 🫶🏻
