We hope you find them tasty and delicious! Reminder that assignments are due September 14, 2024 9:00 PM CDT (UTC -5)!

Keep an eye on this comm for our Initial Pinch Hits list, coming soon!

We have put up the CLOSED sign on sign-ups and run initial matching. We have seven unmatchables. If your AO3 username begins with any of these letters, please check your email: A, G, H, L, P, or T.

We have given unmatchables 24 hours to revise or remove their sign-up. We will send out assignments as soon as we can!

 Thank you for all the wonderful contributions to our glorious tagset! 

Nominations are officially closed; sign-ups continue through August 3, 2024 9:00 PM CDT (UTC -5)!

We have a few final clarifications on freeforms submitted; nominator(s), please comment on this post within the next 24 hours to indicate more directly how these freeforms relate to our theme and we will update behind-the-scenes. (For example, being obsessive or jealous should reflect somehow in the relationship between characters, not only one being held captive by another.)

• Captive Agrees to Sex in Exchange for Freedom/Luxuries/Other’s Safety
• Forced to Live with the Captor
• Forced to Rely on Captor for Safety
• Forced to Sleep Besides Rapist

What is Jealousy? What is Obsession?

It’s that bitter sensation that fills you with spite, hate, and loathing. It’s that sweet motivation that pushes you to get out of bed in the morning to show your rival who’s what in the world.

Sometimes bitter…sometimes sweet…just like a perfect cuppa joe.

Whether you’re here for envy or possessiveness, cold shoulders or green eyes, insecurities that divide or covetous desire that brings people together—we welcome anyone and everyone to this exchange focused on how our most favorite characters deal with all these messy, complicated emotions!

Last but not least, don’t forget:

“Never hate people who are jealous of you, but respect their jealousy, because they’re the ones who think you’re better than them.”*

Like, FUCK YEAH to that!

* We have no idea who said this, but we like it.

The collection is now OPEN!

Thank you to all our creators, pinch hitters, requesters, and fans! We hope you find your gifts delightful, the treats fantastic, and the coffee delicious.

Comments go a long way to thank our creators! ❤️ On that note: creators will be revealed July 2, 2023 11:59 AM CDT (UTC -5) (Timezone Conversion).

We are sad to announce that, due to unforeseen global supply chain issues, our bean import has been delayed by one day.

In order to accommodate our fearless pinch hitters that are, at this very moment, downing shots of espresso as they type furiously, we will be pushing back work reveals to June 25, 2023 11:59 AM CDT (UTC -5). (Timezone Conversion)

Thanks for your patience! We know you are as excited as we are to read all this delicious jealousy and obsess over all this beautiful artwork, and we promise the reveal will be worth the wait!
