Loads less reading this month re: living temporarily with my Rainstorm. Loads fewer posts, too, as I’ve been busy with a ton of mini weekend travel trips, processing photos, etc. It’s summer. It happens.

First: No Food in the Library by anna_sun. Someone recommended this one-shot on bluesky, and it was really cute. I would have liked to see it expanded past a short story length because I think a lot could have been there, but I also think the author captured the long-game flirting happening between the main characters very well.

Second: Angels on High by Santillatron. This was recommended by a friend who knew of Rainstorm’s bouldering enthusiasm (and me having just climbed a wall for the first time!). An accidental feud and mistaken identity story that leads from flirting to enemies to lovers, and very much captures both the spirit of bouldering as well as the spirit of both canon characters.
