Hi, fun friend!

So that was my summer fic! *infinitesimal cheers* I actually wrote it after starting it in June! Pictured is how I planned this (and other one-shots), as witnessed by my best friend Lex (featured in the top left hand corner). It's actual chaos, in case you were wondering, featuring mild dashes of legible handwriting. See "Dear John pose" and "¡commedia!" and "gelato yeah magic," for examples.

Shout out to Queen_Books_13 who has been reading my fanfics since basically the beginning and leaving wonderful comments and pointing out my many mistakes. She beta read this when I decided last minute it needed to be reviewed. So thank you! :)

Seaside is a really town in Florida, though people and events (like homicidal mothers) are completely fictional, and a couple of things are factual about it:

1) There is a main plaza square with a ton of shops and restaurants and food trucks (FOOD TRUCKS).

2) There is a record store with a bookstore underneath, though "The Needle" is not it's name. And it is so cool. I have a squid notebook from the record shop.

3) It is very expensive and none of the prices are made up.

4) It is on the Gulf of Mexico/Emerald Coast and about twenty minutes away from the equally touristy town of Destin.

5) It is very hot and without A/C you're dead.

6) There are a ton of islands on the coast and they are covered in gunshells (but the beaches are getting cleaned) and finding them is super exciting.

So I hope you liked this A/U! Thank you for your reads, likes, and comments, and more importantly, your valued existence.

If you didn't, tell me why in the comments.

If you did, tell me why in the comments.

If you have feelings that you can't seem to comprehend or express out loud, tell me in the comments.

And I'll see you around in other fics!
