Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Addictedverse, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

We're currently in Knoxville for A Meet & Greet Cute event! So tell us where you'd like us to go for a future event/signing?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! We are currently in Knoxville, TN for the Meet & Greet Cute event. We are SOOOO excited for this one!! Truly, we're hyped beyond belief, and we can't wait to see some of you tomorrow 🩷🩷

No new news on the writing front. BUT we have been narrowing down what we're planning for Frog & Quinn. As you know, we're going to publish this one as a full length novel once we finish it out as a Patreon story. So a novel needs...a title. And we might have come up with a perfect one for this bodyguard duo. More news on that to come!

Preorder campaigns and what we're planning for Burn Bright will be announced (hopefully!) next week. So keep on the lookout for that.

It seems like most of this recap is teasing and setting up for the info, but we promise if we could spill the beans now we would! We're so very excited for everything we have in store for the Cobalt Empire. So thank you all for taking this wild ride with us 💙✨ If you haven't seen yet, the Spoiler Room in the Patreon chats has turned into a Burn Bright room where we're sharing the quote & aesthetic teasers that we're posting every day on our kbr.universe Instagram account! We plan to tease all the way up to the release, so definitely pop in the chat room or follow our second account on Instagram if you want more teases!

This week, we had another Frog and Quinn chapter drop and some Burn Bright teases! So here's everything that went down:

Written Content: Frog and Quinn: Chapter Ten

Teaser: Ben & Harriet Quote Teaser for Burn Bright

Teaser: Burn Bright Tease!

First Look: New Burn Bright Teaser: Most Likely To...

Morgan and Maria

Future events or signings I’d love if you guys did one day=🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 or just 🇬🇧!! Very excited to learn what the title to Quinn and Frog’s book will be! 🫶🏻

Bea (never.stopreading)

OMG??? I can't wait for quinnfrog title reveal!! I’m so excited. Anyway, I would LOVE for you to come to Italy 🥹 a few weeks ago was confirmed that RARE will take place in Florence in October 2026 so it feels like a signal from the universe eheh! Ugh I've been asking this for way too long, I know I'm annoying 😂 but it would mean the world to me (and to many others International readers)!! 🩷

Rachel

San Diego!!!

Megan

I wish Bodyguards Like Us were still an option 🥹 I really liked it. But it would be great if you came to Philly!

Jayden

Cleveland Ohio!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Hope you guys have the best time in Knoxville!! The teases are making the time until I have BB in my hands so much more bearable… but I know it’s going to be sooooo worth the wait! 💙🦋 I’ve been calling it BLU for so long and it’ll be so great to see what you guys come up with for Finn!! Their story is such a feel-good summer read and I’m loving it!

There is a great book store that hosts excellent events in Franklin Indiana called Wild Geese Bookshop. I’d love for you guys to come there!! I will see you tomorrow in Knoxville!! 5.5 hour drive to be able to fan girl with you!!

Jay

Any chance of swinging past Sydney after you visit Melbourne? 😆

Arrow

I was so thrilled to have seen you both in Brooklyn! I love the venue at the Ripped Bodice so much! I’d love to see you in NYC again or anywhere in the Northeast. It would be so awesome for one of the Cobalt Empire events at the Barnes and Noble in Union Square!

em

everyday!! getting fed

Arrow

Also - I ended up watching Etoile on Amazon Prime after you talked about it on The Happenings. That show was so good. The characters were engrossing and the writing was excellent. And there were so many Gilmore Girls Easter Eggs! I am really bummed that it was cancelled. I feel like Amazon is particularly egregious when it comes to cancelling shows early. Netflix and even HBO Max have been much better about this lately (except for the new Gossip Girl - still upset about that cancellation).

Dani P

Boston!

sophie🐝

Ah I still can't believe you're coming to Australia, can't wait to meet you both at RARE!!!

Briana💫

Houston!! my dream is to meet yall💙🦋

Illyana

Hey girls, happy Saturday! 🧡✨ Oh my gosh, have the best time at this meet-and-greet 🥹 I’m definitely still fingers-crossing harddddd for you guys to come to London at some point, or to plan a UK trip 🇬🇧 and when you do, I will help with the itinerary, no questions asked 😌✈️ I’ve been waiting for years to meet you guys again in person, but I know there are lots of girls probably meeting you for the first time this weekend, and it’s only right that first-time fans get that special moment 🥺 It’s such a beautiful thing to celebrate the KBR universe in all its glory 💫📚 I’m still deep into my reread of Nobody Like Us but I genuinely think this book has solidified my obsession with Donnelly and Luna 💕 I mean, truly, I love them so much. Is there any chance, way in the future of course, that we might one day get a Headstrong Like Us novel for them? 👀 I think it would be so good. I’m at the 80 to 90 percent mark of my reread and I just don’t want to leave them. On another note, I have to do a little rant about my current obsession of the Cobalt Brother which is... TOM! and I have to say, I know, I KNOW I turn my head more than a Love Islander during Casa Amor 😂That being said, I know Charlie is the common denominator when it comes to the Cobalt brothers that everyone’s most curious about, but lately I’ve found myself so drawn to Tom 🥹 I used to be all in on Ben a couple years ago, then Xander, but now Tom has fully taken over my brain. I literally gasped during that cheeky little moment when he heart-eyed Leo 👀 And I’m not saying I’m rooting for them as a couple necessarily, but I am so excited to see what kind of love interest Tom gets. Please correct me if I’ve misread him, but my understanding of Tom is that he’s all boldness and bravado on the outside, he’s a rockstar, unafraid of doing drugs, he’s a Cobalt, and he’s part of the Misfit Squad, but deep down, i think he's deeply angsty and in tune with his emotions and all he wants is to be loved 🥹 And I think that dichotomy is so compelling! Like, between the unspoken Farrow crush, and now wondering if he has a chance with Leo, it feels like something we’d expect from someone more soft-spoken like Ben, not Tom. But that’s what makes it so intriguing. Right now, I think I’m in an era where I’m more into love stories that are about softness and vulnerability than enemies-to-lovers types. I will always have a soft spot for couples like Moffy and Farrow, who are iconic in their own right, but I’m just finding so much beauty lately in characters who want to love and be loved. So Tom is my character of interest this week, no doubt 💘 And maybe it’s just me, but reading gay relationships as a hetero reader is always extra magical. It’s not my lived experience, so I find reading their POVs even more fascinating. There’s something deeply human and intimate in reading about those dynamics and identities. I love Luna and all the Like Us women of course, but I’m just in a space where the LGBTQ+ pairings hit that much harder for me lately 🌈💫 You guys write queer relationships so incredibly well, and I honestly can’t wait to read more of them. I also selfishly hope Tom’s book gives us more Luna and Donnelly cameos too because their orbit overlaps and I just love any excuse to spend more time with them 😍 We don’t know anything about how Tom is romantically, like, is he PDA-heavy like Luna and Donnelly? Or is he private? Is he the one who falls fast? Is he an emotional person? Is he someone who is super private and possessive and jealous? All we’ve seen so far is him being the actual heart-eyes emoji 😂 So I’m beyond curious to find out how he’ll behave in love. Am I onto something here or am i just the physical manifestation of the red string guy gif hahaha. Anyway, that’s all from me! Wishing you all the best for this weekend 💞 and sending love to everyone at the meet-and-greet. I’ll be here, rereading, spiralling over Tom, and cheering you on as always 📚💐✨

Teresa

It would be great if you came back to Philadelphia!!❤️ Hey KBR, will we learn Roxanne's eye color in Burn Bright?

Gerniah Liburd

I would love if you guys came to Arizona, I feel like my favorite authors rarely come here! 😩😩😩

Julia

Would love it if you came to Boston!!💕 or to Orlando again (my brother lives there and my sister and I always love a good excuse to visit him!)

Mary

CLEVELAND OHIO!!! When I was talking to your mom in Chicago she said it might be a want to go location!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I've always envisioned some sort of HLU type of novel for Luna & Donnelly! The trick is figuring out where it'd fall into our schedule (and also making sure it fits within the narrative timeline that's ongoing and doesn't complicate anything). But I think it's a real possibility and not off the table.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It won't follow the "like us" format since we sort of consider it a tie-in and a separate entity that can be read as a standalone ☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'm still so sad about Etoile being cancelled! And it was nominated for a freaking EMMY!!! They totally dropped the ball there.
