grandmelonhide bio
 Author has written 52 stories for Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club. Hello there! You can call me Mel (short for Melon) or just straight up Melon, Melon Head, grandmelon, whatever works for you. I currently write only Free! fanfics with the following Free! ships: Haruka x Makoto Rin x Sousuke Nagisa x Rei Aromantic Gou
I also have a huge bias so most of my fics main pairings will be Haru x Makoto, and Rin x Sousuke. Please note that I do not usually specify who is a "receiver" and "giver" and understand it's for the following reasons: I don't believe anyone has a sole and undeniable "role" I think the characters can switch or have their own preferences I don't believe in the "male=dominant, female=submissive" role stereotypes I don't believe in the "tall=masculine, small=feminine" stereotypes I disagree with the entire thought system that created the idea that in a relationship someone is "the guy" or someone is "the girl" All of my portrayals of the characters can be head-cannoned under the ace umbrellaOther notes: None of my portrayals of the characters are inherently cis, everyone is allowed to head-canon them how they would like None of my portrayals of the characters inherently state that they were only ever allowed to have a crush on their end-game partner None of my portrayals of the characters are inherently homosexual or heterosexual (i.e. they could be pan, bi, and anything else under the sun) None of my portrayals of the characters are inherently allosexual or alloromantic Just because I write the characters in a romantic relationship does not inherently mean that they are not asexual, demi-sexual, gray-sexual, demi-romantic, or gray-romanticI have other accounts you can read my fics on: tumblr: melonmachinery ao3: grandmelon Feel free to message me or reach me on my twitter that's solely for fandom use! twitter: melonmachinery |

Baby, Oh, Something's Gotta Give by thoughtless dreamer reviews

Lazy Mornings by Kaz1167 reviews
Rin wakes up slowly, warm and weightless in the cream colored sheets that softly fold over his form. It's early, early enough that the world hasn't awoken around them, the usually busy street below their apartment window still quiet, and the sun hasn't risen enough to replace the purplish darkness filling their room. On a rare day off, Rin enjoys a lazy morning with Sousuke.
