Author has written 6 stories for Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club.

Hi I'm Gabby, and I live somewhere in Illinois (you know, the middle of nowhere). I love to write but I've never had the courage to share my writing, but I'm trying to change that now. I'm in a lot of fandoms: Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, Attack on Titan, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Marvel, and Bones. I've got lots of plot bunnies so hopefully you'll be seeing a lot of stories from me!

I would love to get reviews, and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. PM me any time you want!

I'll be happy to beta for anyone as well.

Confrontation by oneplumshortofafruitpie reviews
I've seen all sorts of fan art of Makoto defending Haru in a Sosuke confrontation, but I haven't read a fic about it yet (though I'm sure they're out there). It's a not-so-secret desire of basically everyone. SouRin if you squint (no more than is canon, and I guess that's pretty romantic) [M for mild violence]

just a little while longer by Astriq reviews
based on the new official art with haru and makoto lying down together on makoto's bedroom floor "having fun" staring into each other's eyes like the childhood best friends they are -"He is vaguely aware of Makoto's hand resting in between them, mere inches from his own, making small gestures with his fingers as he speaks. Without realising it, Haru's hand shifts."

Who Did This To You? by cosmicpenguinn reviews
After Aiichiro calmed down, Rin pulled him away slightly to get a better look at his face. The bruise on his pale face was worse than he had thought it was. He softly rubbed a thumb against it, looking into his red and puffy blue eyes as he spoke. "Who did this to you, Ai?" Rintori! One-shot!

It's a Wonderful Life by KaNaKiRa7325 reviews
Makoto had never been one to share his pain. He had always preferred the lonelier route of shouldering the burden then dealing with it when he could. That way, no one else had to get hurt.

Beyond Reach by sevenfivetwo reviews
Their wishful gazes never went full circle. The engagement was always brief, chaste and short-lived, secretly full of passion, exchanging silent words while everything remained unresolved, as if their throats hitched and they could only communicate through eye contact. But eye contact could never express their feelings accurately, despite how often it happened. Makoto/Rin angst!

Tutoring by Hebi-Kazechi-10 reviews
Out of all the English analogies, Seijuurou had one that was his favourite. When asked what it was, the redheaded senior gave a chuckle before responding, "Well, here it is: life's like a box of chocolates." English was one of the worst subjects for Makoto.
