[hoodietime]

Got recs?

You can make your own rec post at any time, or submit any recs you may have to be posted by a mod, like in this post. Find out how HERE. (If a month is skipped for this, that's because there were no recs received that month. Sometimes we receive tons of recs per month, sometimes less.) Send us your faves, pretty please. <333

Reccer’s comments: I suggest you read author's note to this story, because Mirrordance has some warnings of her own. Long story short - it's sad. It's tragic, really, but if you like to hurt as much as I do... Yes, I strongly recommend you read it if you haven't yet.
