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!

If you could choose ONE bonus scene for us to write next set in the Burn Bright timeline, what would it be and in whose POV of the ones that exist on Patreon? Let us know the BB bonus you're dying for most!

Weekly Recap

Another short recap this week, as we are in the writing trenches. Krista and I had a long talk today about the similarities of Silver Sweet to Burn Bright and why we love them both so much. We can't wait to gush about Tom & Phoenix and this novel as a whole. AND THE COVER! It is soooo gorgeous. It was one of the harder covers to nail -- we literally could probably have a whole podcast talking about the genesis of this cover 😂 It took us on a ride, but the final version pairs beautifully next to Burn Bright. And we're so happy it's also getting the deluxe treatment in print!

When will the cover be revealed? Our best guess is January/February! So it shouldn't be long before you can stare at this beauty too 🥰

Here on Patreon, we've had some big things drop. Check out everything you might've missed:

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 until 2026. 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.

📍📣 SPECIAL FOR DECEMBER ONLY: 25% off Discount Code - 1DA3F75G8BQB

The discount applies to all books on our store, excluding oopsie books, merch, and gift cards. This discount code will expire 12/31 and a new discount code will be generated for the month of December.

📍🎄 NEW DECEMBER PERKS 🎄

Note: Art sets are included per order. Ordering multiple books in the same order will still include only one art set.

📍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.

WHAT'S COMING THIS MONTH:

Main Bonus + Extra Bonus: We're sticking with bonus scenes this month, likely still set in the Burn Bright timeline until we finish Silver Sweet. Then we will be back to adding chapters to Frog & Quinn's romance here. Thank you for your patience, all the Froggy and Quinnie lovers! Our mental headspace is superglued to the Cobalts, so it's easier for us to stick with them at this time.

Monthly Podcast + Extra Podcast: The Monthly Podcast is currently being voted on! We'll have a winner soon for that, and the Extra Podcast is going to be us ranking our favorite bonus scenes and podcasts of the year! So we'll be discussing this year's past content. In January, we'll have the What To Expect in 2026 pod.

WIP Snippet: Expect another snippet from Silver Sweet 💜

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We actually started writing this one, but paused on it. I can see us finishing it at some point! So this is more likely to happen

Hayat

Omg just smiled

Arrow

Harriet shadowing Farrow in Harriet’s POV!

Maggie

I also would LOVE to get Rose and Connors pov of Ben leaving

Teresa

1. Harriets POV during the testing that the cobalt siblings did with Thatcher before. 2. Maeve birthday party from any of the cobalts who have a POV.

Marisa

Rose/connor pov of Ben leaving. And Oscar’s pov of him and Charlie finding Ben (which I see in your comment below you’ve already started. Ahhhh)

Kayleigh

Rose pov of her meeting with Harriet. Either the first meeting or le petit rêve!

Assunta

I always look forward to these fizz hangout discussions each week!! 💜💜 so excited that silver sweet gets a deluxe edition!!

diana

I need to read Rose and Connor pov on Ben leaving

diana

Or Audrey with Charlie while they see their siblings playing

Dana Buscher

Rose and Lily POV of Ben leaving 💙👑🦋

Taylor F

Any POV of the fam going to watch Beckett dance during winter break!

Willow Crossley-Henderson

Connor’s pov of learning about Audrey’s frat house “incident” or honestly anything with Audrey and her big brothers. Like I wanna see a little bit more of her dynamic with Eliot, Charlie, Beckett, or Tom. But like in that order of need for the dynamic

Maxi

dinner at duke's where the brothers get to know harriet better in harriets POV

Lois

Connor’s pov !

Kat

I want Connor’s POV about everything that happened in BB. What does he think of Harriet and Ben together?

Helen. M

Charlie telling Rose and Connor he has found Ben and that he has OCD. -Connor POV

Helen. M

connor’s POV*

Lauren

Oscars POV in Alaska and Connor’s POV of Charlie calling from Alaska

a

this has nothing to do with burn bright but since its december can we get christmas with the hales🥹🥹 from any pov

.

Can we get kinney’s diaries.. we didn’t get one this year (also christmas with hales) 😭

Lucia

I need Oscar's pov (I love his voice) of Charlie finding out Ben, and then leaving to Alaska to find him with Charlie. Or also, Charlie's phone call to the family telling them he's found Ben and his ocd (rose or Connors pov)

millie (coballoway's version)

literally anything from Connor's pov, I will always want more of him 😭 if I have to be specific I'd love his pov of WND, Ben leaving, Audrey's OD, or his hike with Ben 🥹💙

Green

What's WND?

Kelly.

Rose/Connor POV finding out Ben has left/missing or when Charlie finds Ben but with a little sprinkle of the Core 8 reaction as well like when Rose says Lily told her she was “rage crying “ or when Rose yelled at Garrison for wanting to sleep. Please and Thank you! 🙏🏻

Jared Povanda

Everyone's suggestions are so good! I'd love a Luna POV from the time Ben went missing! We could see Tom and Eliot from her POV, Xander's reaction, maybe even Moffy's (if only over the phone), and we could also get Luna's new thoughts on Harriet and Harriet's relationship with Ben! (But then even mentioning Moffy, I'd also love a Moffy POV of him finding out that Ben went missing--or maybe to keep things a little less angsty, a Farrow POV of the Escape Room night?)

Carrie

This would all be amazing!

Carrie

I miss the body guards insights, so I’d love to see the Oscar pov of Charlie finding Ben. I saw you noted you paused it though, so if it is one that maybe needs to marinate for awhile I’m listing my other top two ideas (I know you said one but I couldn’t choose!) Farrow helping with the injuries after the escape room and then driving tom and Eliot to Philly especially if the brothers gossiped about their impressions of Harriet then. A close second would be a body guard bonus (preferably Oscar) of when they find out all the kids are at the hospital and Audrey OD, especially if we can see him and Charlie talking and Charlie’s reaction of how he handled it. Although Donnelly would be another cool one, maybe he went there to help for some reason and has a conversation with Beckett to support him, or he is there because Kinney was freaking out and tried to get him and Luna go to the hospital if she couldn’t be there herself? Grasping at straws with Donnelly maybe, just really miss him too!

Chiara

Xander POV in the rooftop scene with Ben

Aylin Aksoy

Can you please write a bonus scene of Charlie winning Wednesday night dinner when he was fourteen from Connor’s or Rose POV please 🙏🏼🫶🏼

diana

Wednesday Night Dinner

shi luvs st.cobalt

I would love a bonus of the Ben + Tom pep talk scene that happens in Chapter 46 of BB! :’) —— Ahh, I’m **so excited** to see SS’ cover! I vote yes on a future extra podcast being centered around the evolution of it (🙂‍↔️). I also hope the writing cave is treating you both well! I’m sending all of the hugs + love + good writing cave vibes (as always)! ~~ 🤎🤎

S (Charlie's version)

I would the bonus scene from Rose or Connor or Osacr pov of when Charlie found Ben

Isabella

- I’d LOVE a bonus scene on Rose or Connor’s POV of when Ben was missing + Found. - A scene of Harriet with the Cobalt girls during Winter break (could be any POV: Rose, Harriet or Jane’s). - Harriet with Rose at the bleachers during the Hockey Game. - Harriet helping Ben drive again. - Oscar’s POV from Charlie discovered that Ben was missing and then finding him. - Harriet’s POV of when Charlie told the fam that he found Ben.

Alê

I'd love to see Rose's POV of Audrey pestering Charlie during the hockey game! And see more of their mother-son interaction. Loved the idea of Oscar's POV of Charlie going to Alaska to find Ben.

anna

More Harriet POV of anything tbh 😭 I miss her!

S

Ryke. I would be great to see from his POV his relationship with Ben and how it’s changed and evolved with Connor too since Ben has always been so close to the Meadows. I know we’ve seen snippets of how Connor acknowledges and understands Ryke can relate to Ben in some situations better

Kate

Oscars POV of Charlie’s reaction to Audrey’s OD

Marisa

After cobalt empire is completed and published, I will need this scene from all 4 brothers’ POV

Yasti

So so so excited for the Silver Sweet cover reveal next year!! If it’s anything like the BB cover then I’m sure it’s gorgeous 🤩 Good luck with all the writing things! 🤓💗 I would *die* for Ben’s breakfast with Winona! I always thought we would get to read their friendship from their own POVs eventually but alas that’s not how the story went. I am really curious about how that meeting went and what they talked about, though, so this scene is at the top of my list! 💗 I think Maeve’s birthday from Jane or Thatcher’s POV would be lovely as well. I miss them!

Kate

You should write some bonus scenes up until burn bright not just the burn bright timeline. The suggestions when you first came out with burn bright for bonus scenes in September all of those were so good!!

Kate

Pleaseeee I’m begging for Xander’s graduation bonus scene it is his bday month after all 😆🥹🫣

Kate

Or Xander asking his parents to go dalton UGHH IN LILO POV THAT WLD BE SOO CUTE

ziggystardust

I’ve been dying to see Rose or Connor’s reaction to Ben leaving especially after Rose saying she was short with everyone

ziggystardust

What Christmas at the lake house without the cobalts is like from lily’s POV and Xanders birthday

anna

This is completely off topic, but I thought it would be so cool if you guys made a Spotify wrapped for some of your characters one day!

Marisa

This would be so fun!!!!

Lakyn

Can we get either lily’s or Loren’s pov when they find out Ben’s gone? I want to see Xander’s reaction when he finds out he left.

Amity

I need to see Lo’s pov of Ben disappearing

Jayden
