FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS PT 2

hey sweetheart! now, this might be a bit of a challenge for a list, but if you would find time for it, i would appreciate it beyond words!

im really into stories where they have sex before they are in a relationship. before they confess or even realise their feelings. or when one thinks 'i know we had sex, but its just sex, its nothing emotional'

i cant explain why, but it really keeps me going! any fics like that on the mind?

Hi Lovely!!!

GAAWWWWD I know that I have more than I think I do, but I'm going to use your ask as an excuse to post up my next FWB list... because that's genuinely the only tag that's coming to me that this could relate to your request!! I'm PAINFULLY oblivious to stuff like this, I'm SO SORRY.

I'm sorry if it's not what you're looking for but I hope that you'll like this list anyway, and if anyone has anything to add, please do!!
