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!

In spirit of last month's "trope" podcast, which trope would you love for us to write? It can be a trope we've already written or one we haven't yet!

Weekly Recap

Happy FriYAY, heroic and magical beauties! I've been sadly under the weather this week while Krista and I are in the writing trenches, so this is going to be a shorter recap as I'm putting all the energy I have left into writing. Long story short: I had to rush to help my brother babysit while he was in GA, and his baby had the sniffles. I traveled across the world and managed not to catch a thing, and then I come home and a baby takes me out! I have horrible immunities, but I would do it all over again to be there for my niece.

If you haven't heard, November is the month of Cobalt Empire reveals! It won't be too much longer, and you'll be hearing about release dates, titles, POVs. It's going to be so exciting!!! Plus, the audiobook for Burn Bright is dropping on November 18th and it's duet narration, so it's almost like a brand new Burn Bright release happening!

We're also considering the Extra Podcast topic to be all about the actual reveals and Cobalt Empire #2. So let us know if this is something you'd be interested in listening to!

Here on Patreon, beginning of the month stuff has dropped + a Webs We Weave announcement post! Here's everything that went down:

Announcement: Dangerously Ours (Webs We Weave #3) is on NetGalley for Early Reviewers

Announcement: And the topic for November's Monthly Podcast is... (get your questions in before we begin prepping the pod!)

Store Code: Store Discount for November 2025

THE SIGNED BOOK STORE

Our signed book store is restocked periodically. Keep checking it to see if a sold out item has been stocked. Any new updates will be posted here:

Burn Bright won't be in our signed store for at least a few months. Depending on remaining stock, it also might NOT be the deluxe edition that ends up on our store. So if you want the designed edges and spot gloss butterflies, we highly recommend getting it ASAP on other retailers since those are limited to a first print run.

📍🎉 NEW MERCH!! We have new merchandise up on our store. What's new in the store:

Cobalt, Hale, and Meadows embroidered hats

Cobalt Empire embroidered tote bag

Webs We Weave Merch bundle with embroidered patches and paper coasters

📍 20% OFF DISCOUNT CODE: C4146Z5S9TPB

The discount applies to all books on our store, excluding oopsie books, merch, and gift cards. This discount code will expire 11/30 and a new discount code will be generated for the month of December.

📍REMINDER: We are beginning to SELL OUT of books that we've signed -- and once these sell out, the next restock of titles will be sold with signed bookplates instead of our signatures inside the book.

The description on the store will note whether the book is signed or comes with a signed bookplate.

If you have any questions about the store, sound below in the comments, and you can always email the store at kbr.authorstore@gmail.com xoxo

Natalie 👽🤍

I would love to see y’all’s take on a marriage of convenience

Arrow

My favorite trope is found family!

.

Oh i really want to see marriage of convenience or something like forbidden love in a way “shes in relationship with someone else but hes pining and waiting for her” kinda classic lilo but with different twist ig 😭

Hayat

Happy Friday! Sorry you feel under the weather Becca! Hope you feel better soon :) Hope writing for CE #2 is going well! Which, by the way, that’s a crazy statement to make cause wdym there’s a Cobalt manuscript out there and not in my hands 😭 I love a good soulmate romance but since all your books include that ig it feels a bit like cheating haha. So maybe I’ll just say I love a good crossover trope (is that even a thing). And sure, it helps when said crossover includes my two fav families you two have ever written (🩰♟️) Can’t wait to hear the upcoming news about CE 2 and 3. Have a feeling two certain rockstars will be home very soon…

millie (coballoway's version)

aaaaaaahhhhhh so so so excited for the announcements!!!! and 2 BB bonuses (I'm manifesting Rose and Connor povs 🤞🙏 I NEED THEM 😫)!! this month is going to be incredible! 💙 I also love the idea for the extra podcast 🫶 as for the question, I don't actually know if this has an official name but I like to call it the anonymous messages/letters trope. you've done it before with Luna and Donnelly in MLU and I loved it and I love reading different takes on it so it would be super cool if u did it again!! get well soon, Becca! 🫶

Sollien

Have a good rest Becca. I would love to hear about Cobalt Empire #2 for the extra podcast

Jess

I appreciate you and Krista immensely. More than I can coherently put into words. Your words both in book and emails have lifted the heaviness of my heart. I am unsure which trope but love that all the fun things are happening in one of the hardest months of my life. My birthday is upcoming....maybe a reveal will land on it 🤷‍♀️

shi luvs st.cobalt

When micro tropes have been brought up and discussed in the past, I never thought that I had a favorite one. However, rewatching “Skam” made me realize that I love a good: (✨) two characters that are interested in each other, but aren’t together, make eye contact with one another from across the room while they’re both kissing other people (✨) kind of moment. It sounds a bit creepy now that I’m writing it out (😭), 𝗯𝘂𝘁 the pining + angst + jealousy combo that those scenes give me?! Chef’s kiss (🤌)! I’ll devour it every. single. time. —— I hope you feel better soon, Becca! :(( I’m sending you virtual soup + a get well soon card (🫂)! I also hope that the writing cave is being kind to you both! I’m so excited for all of the announcements! I’d also **love** an extra podcast episode about the announcements and CE 2! :’) I’ll accept every crumb possible. ~~

Teresa

My favorite tropes are athlete/athlete, arranged marriage ( i read alot of Mafia), black cat/golden retriever and enemies to lovers. I hope you feel better Becca ❤️ 🙏

Flicka

So excited for everything coming out this November!!! Hope you feel better soon 💕 (didn’t one of you get sick writing BB too?) I have no preference on tropes, I just love that everything you write has romance and found family! (also remember, there’s no such thing as word count 👀 it’s all an illusion 😏)

Kelsey🤍

Please do extra podcasts about reveals!

Juliana C

i loveeeee your idea for the extra podcast! you guys have so many books it’s hard to think of tropes you haven’t already tackled in some capacity…and you nail it every time!! but my favorite is friends to lovers so i feel so lucky that you guys love it too and i feel happy knowing you’ll keep writing it forever 😊 your takes on every trope always feel fresh so i trust no matter what

Dani P

I like single father as long as it's not nanny + single father (not a fan of the potential power imbalance). I love grumpy/sunshine so I def enjoyed BB! I also like the slight variation of serious/free spirit. 100% on found family too!

violet

Awwww sad about frog and quinn

Jared Povanda

Oh no!! Feel better, Becca! Sending all the good vibes!! And I would absolutely love a podcast about the reveals! As for tropes…Black Cat/Golden Retriever, Fake Dating turning to Real Feelings, Marriage of Convenience, Friends to Lovers, and maybe this isn’t exactly a trope, but I’m always a sucker for non-alpha male characters in romance. Confidence is great, but I have a soft spot for the quiet introverts!

AJ

Maybe like a modern Romeo+Juliet retelling 👀…🤣 with yearning please ☝️

anna

I love babies so I think it'd be cool to see pregnancy trope in the Cobalt Empire at some point!

Raman

Ben and Harriet bonuses ahhhh so excited

m

Star crossed lovers (Romeo and Juliet coded) mixed with Pregnancy!! 👀👀

Asiel

yes pleaseee CE2 for the extra podcast :)) also get well soooon xx

Jayden

I really related to Daisy’s book bc of how he helped her through trauma. I would LOVE another trope like that

Carrie

I love the found family trope! I loved Farrow and Donnelly being accepted into the Hales family and seeing the Cobalt brothers accept Harriet. So I always love your books because they always have a family focus. I would love the extra podcast being centered around the announcements, please slip extra details lol I love all the spoilers and hype (although I assume you can’t really spoil much)

Jared Povanda

Returning with more thoughts because I was tired last night and not at my best 😂 Hurt/Comfort is a big one, and a more niche twist on Friends to Lovers? Friends to Lovers but after being separated by time or some sort of conflict. Learning how to be friends again and then transitioning into lovers is just 👌

Marisa

My favorites are forbidden romance and enemies to lovers. So good!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I hope you feel better soon Becca!! Kids are little germ machines so I get it 😭 that podcast sounds fantastic so it has my vote!! Can’t wait for all the reveals later this month and to be back in (or post!) BB for the bonuses 💙🦋 Do you guys know when arcs are going out for DO? I assume not until closer to May but it’s great the signups are so early!! It’s getting me so excited to finally see how this whole adventure will end 💜💛

Annie R

Is there a possibility that we will one day see a bonus scene of Ryke after he finds out about Banks, Akara and Sulli and spreads it to the rest of the core 6? Please and thank you 🥰

Ivy H

I love when you do opposites attract! Willow & Garrison and now Ben and Harriet- it’s always so sweet when they find common ground and the reactions of people wondering how they got together!

m

Also may I just say I would really love addicted hoodies/shirt in your shop. I’d literally buy one for kitsulleti or lilo or luna and Moffy solo ones straight away

claireeeee

Romeo and juliet 👀👀 *cough* eliot *cough* winnifred

Sarah

honestly runaway bride would be such a good read… the tension 🤪

Alice

One that you kinda mentioned you hadn’t written and I would be interested to see how you would write it is the guy who’s only been with the one girl trope. I feel like it would actually be kinda romantic esp if the guy like has feelings/is in love with her and just doesn’t want to be intimate with anyone but her
