i have, clearly, been here for far too long, and am most recently revisiting a childhood favorite with the outsiders. while i have much older stories here, i am hesitant to suggest anything written before, say, 2015, though of course it's the older stuff that still gets views :) that said, many of these older pieces are in need of editing; please don't expect any. also, here's a blanket disclaimer! (old habits die hard.) i am a graduate student who deals with latinx literature and culture at a broad scale, and yes, i am tired. i am also on tumblr and ao3 as laratoncita. at the latter you can find what i consider my "best" stories written prior to 2014, as well as everything i've written after (this includes all my omb work, as the archive here is minimal imo).

relatedly, the following outsiders fics are set in the same universe, even if it's not explicit. generally speaking, this series explores issues of family, race, and gender, among others. please heed any warnings listed at the beginning of these texts. anything not listed here stands on it's own, even if i admit to recycling themes :) they are, in chronological order:
play it cool (summer '66)
number one stunner (summer '68)
ain't got time (for nothing else) (spring '69)
the long haul (spring/summer '70)
if only (summer '70)
young girls (summer '70)
venus (spring '71)
an anytime invitation (summer '73)

ps: sister fic can be found here!
