#… except maybe Kim idk👀👀👀

[mazzystar24]

Okay but why am I seeing no one talk abt the fact that Athena was saying HE when talking abt the serial killer and whoever took Maddie is a woman??

Like I had to rewatch cos when I mentioned it to Sarah she didn’t get it but I spotted it off the bat

[thegradus2]

Im having modern day au alver x ogcale thoughts :,)

The setting is sort of like a earth 1’s korea except the catalysm happened waaaaay before like decades before, so fighting the monsters is way easier and more normal tho its still considered really hard and dangerous work (barely any deaths anymore but injuries are p common)

The soos all work at the company together. Cale (22 yrs old) is estranged from his family and also works at the company (hes happy to watch his little brother and little sister succeed from afar). Cale and kim rok soo constantly get compared bc theyre both serious and hard workers who tell people all the time that they wanna quit/slack off (they will never actually quit or slack off). Bc cale isnt actually in his familys life anymore he doesnt need to pretend to be trash and hes smiley like when hes krs in canon

Bc kim rok soo isnt as traumatized as in canon from losing his only friends he manages to make more friends (taylor sten, cage, eruhaben, he obvs manages to find his kids, choi han is also here and not as traumatized he just got kidnapped by monsters for like 10 years and is back home now, the whale tribe the wolf tribe the jungle queen the- you get the point. Kim rok soo is basically the companys information network at this point)

Idk if i should make krs and the other soos 36 etc still or if i should make them younger? (Like in late twenties, just a little older than when the soos minus krs died in the og timeline). In any case somehow its still cale nagging krs abt staying healthy and eating well and exercising, not the other way around

Maybe cale still has his adopted niece (aka reincarnated mom but ig he doesnt know that in this au)??

Alver (27 yrs old) has inherited his fathers trillion won company and is a repressed workaholic CEO (or maybe his father has a rlly succesful company and alver has become rlly succesful in politics instead?? Tho what ive seen the rlly succesful companies’ heirs in korea are lowkey treated with the same importance as a politician so it doesnt rlly matter)

Tasha pressures alver into taking 1 single day off. He obliges and almost gets assassinated by the mob (the white stars gang, and yes they do have powers). They decide to hire alver a specialized bodyguard. Cue the company: cale gets chosen as a guard while a few others (including kim rok soo) work on figuring out how to take out the white stars little group

Idk what power to give cale yet 👀 i wanna say either smth to do with time or smth to do with plants BUT i can also just give him both?? Or a power that combines the two?? I will look up symbolism to decide later lol

ANYWAY smiley bodyguard cale x repressed ceo alver. Cale falls first alver falls harder. Cale surprising alver with loyalty and cunning and with how he goes out of his way to take hits meant for alver. Alver being perfect and cale doing his best to goad alver into letting go of that mask every moment theyre alone

Multiple specific scenes im thinking:

- alver is goaded into taking a day off by tasha again a few months after the assassination attempt, this time with cale. They go to a café and have cutesy talks together (cale is just constantly being glib trying to trip alver up while alver is annoyed and into it)

- alver has to go to a high-end event. Cale comes with as his bodyguard/date (the date part is just a cover but they both wish it was real). They meet basen who is in complete and utter shock trying to hide it (he will do a full report back to the henituse family later)

- i need the company to go to a karaoke bar every friday bc i love karaoke. Cale sort of likes it and puts up minimal resistance every time. Kim rok soo does NOT want to go but he ends up napping the whole time every friday so its not that bad. During his bodyguard job with alver cale has to decline a few times. The company manages to wrangle cale into just bringing alver with him to karaoke (the repressed ceo of a trillion won company going to a shitty karaoke bar with a bunch of rowdy office workers/sort-of-soldiers is funny to me)

- at some point it gets serious and cale takes a bullet or otherwise rlly damaging attack that was meant for alver. He has to go to the hospital and alver realizes that oh shit its not a good idea to develop feelings for someone whos job it is to take bullets for you. And then he realizes of shit i developed feelings wtf??? And then he thinks i should stop feeling this way. And then he looks at cale again, whos passed out in the hospital bed and hes like im not gonna be able to stop feeling this way, am i. Fuck. Shit. Damnit

- they have a summer wedding 🥰

- neither of them are even involved w the white star mob. They just suddenly get a call from krs like “hi. I did the job. The others want me to tell you that im in the hospital btw.” Cale and alver visit him in the hospital and cale comforts krs by saying “dw, one day youll have your farm with the other two idiots. One day. Maybe.”

- that one scene in adventure time with bonnie and marcy and bonnie leans against marcy and closes her eyes and is like “wake me up in like 20 minutes.” Them. Them. Them. Them-

- cale slowly connecting with his family after him and alver met basen at that one event. First its deruth just calling (most painful and awkward phone call in the world where deruth very obviously avoids talking abt anything important and cale is just too confused abt why hes calling to pick up on any of it.) Then basen and lily start texting him. Then lily just shows up at his house to visit. It all snowballs from there with just little awkward moments of the family trying to rebuild a bridge with cale and cale just being confused abt what they want from him and why theyd wanna see him (its bc they love him bc hes family and theyre worried abt him)

- eventually deruth visits his house in person. This is also the moment where they finally actually have The Emotions and deruth acknowledges the abandonment and emotional neglect and cale confesses it was all an act but that he also actually thought they really didnt want him and that he thought he was ruining his fathers perfect new family with his presence and that he got rid of himself bc he thought it would make them happier

- cale goes to therapy.png. The family rejoices. The company also rejoices. The company stops rejoicing when he starts badgering everyone else to also get therapy (they really really all need it)

- the confession happens after cale isnt alvers bodyguards anymore. Cale has managed to talk alver into meeting every week at alvers place and just talking or playing chess or whatever they feel like doing. Theyre just doing their weekly catching up and cale is being especially wonderful talking abt his kid and alver being especially sleepdeprived just kisses him right on the mouth. He immediately backtracks and tries to be glib abt it like “im so sorry i dont know what came over me-“ but cale just kisses him back and then the next scene they wake up no clothes in bed together. They have been pining for at least a year by this point they deserve this

- alver goes to therapy after they officially get together bc cale pushed him to. It actually helps a little??? He is absolute shit abt opening up but the therapist has some generic tips abt managing his overworking problem

- most of the groomsmen/bridesmaids (or groomsmaids??) are part of the company. Tasha is alvers maid of honor. Basen is cales groomsman or honor or however the hell thats called lol. Cales niece is the flower girl and raon is the ringbearer. Cales family is there and robbit and his wife are there too + obvs alvers maternal family.

- summer wedding

Ok this is all for now

[euphor1a]

besties wanted jk n mingyu so i gib jk n mingyu🤩

— or, a small bit of the very messy outline of my death the junggyu fic™. totally unedited and raw (intentional). kept that way so that one can feel the original vibes i was feeling when i was brainstorming this on a random 3 am 😙

fwb popular!jk & campus crush jock!mg 

jk is popular for very obvious (? or is it) reasons 🤭, almost made him a fuckboy but nah not really. man’s terrified of commitment so he used to sleep around often, kinda.

but then he finds our oc and *cough* *cough* legitimately falls. still not willing to commit tho 🙄 hence the “fwb” (at least that’s what he convinced himself)

our poor oc... sigh. let’s just say they’re on different pages :/ and our girl is tired of jk’s bs, desperately trying to gather herself and actually move on.

SHE DESERVES SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO BE W HER!!!!

incoming our campus crush kim mingyu 😍

man’s so fine that everyone can feel themselves physically swooning when he’s around 😫

he’s also a jock 😼, not entirely sure which sport i want him to play though... (?🏀)

NOW NOW!! this man is one of those guys who rejects all advances but his love-life is pretty much non-existent (sounds like the biggest lie but yes,,,)

rumor says he used to be nasty nasty at first apparently 👀 but then he found better people as friends and changed 🤨? did a total 180°?

on this random evening after a session, oc asks jk to help her make mg jealous (?) idk she just needs his ✨ATTENTIONNNNNN✨!!! am i self-projecting? am i?

oc always knew him (who wouldn’t), but she was introduced face to face with theeee kmg by jk 🤠

she actually got pretty close to jk’s friend group cause she tagged along w jk to group hang outs frequently (fyi, it was jeon jungkook who would drag her w him 💀)

and 👉🏼👈🏼 she developed this silly little crush on mg 🙈

later on, as oc realized jeon jk is hellbent on staying “friends”, she decided to give other people a chance.

she secretly hopes that if she dates someone else, maybe jk can see and come back to his MFING SENSES

but anyway, our girl is a bit too deep into the mingyu rabbit-hole by now also 😔✋🏼

sulky n pouty jk being mad about oc liking mg… cause guess what!? junggyu homies 😔✊🏼

hmm…. jk still fucking oc in the midst of that ish cuz why not 🫣 n he’s mad too so kinda hate fucking? anyway — oc convinces jk bc she is a simp for mg same girl i feel u and jk agrees half-heartedly cause he would actually give her the whole world 🙄 just stupid ass simps everywhere!!

jk thinks that mg will never say yes 🙃 so deep down he’s like making plans about how he’s gonna absolutely destroy oc and punish her once she gets her heart broken by the campus crush 🥴

like??? BITCH LOOK WHOS TALKING? men are so dense sometimes like WHAT EVEN CANT YOU SEE THAT YOU HURT OC TOO (maybe in a worse way tbh)

sigh... so anyway.

mg thinks oc is prettiest ever & attractive asf and he gets butterflies and stuff when she’s around 🥰🦋 but he never made a move bc he knows there’s sumn fishy going on between oc n his friend 😩

SURPRISE! that man has been pining over oc from who knows when 😦

no one except him knows about it though 😔 (well... you guys know now)

moving forward 👾

jk being grumpy n fighting oc every 10 secs for the dumbest things bc she fell for his bff out of all people 🤡 (but jk is an asshole too cuz bro should’ve stopped saying shit like “we are nothing but friends”?? like yk you can’t just expect a girl to be your fwb for the rest of your life?? 🙄 plus she caught feelings for you n you were a dumb bitch abt it... she deserves to be loved, verbally, physically, mentally and in all the ways 😔🥺)

[REDACTED]

↻ error loading the rest, please try again later. 

... i think i spoiled a bit too much 😵‍💫! but yea here you go!! if you have any thoughts about this, feel free to share them through asks or comments! i’d love to hear them! and, for this once, i request to not rb 🙈! i wouldn’t be the most comfortable seeing this reblogged 😭

[kim-ruzek]

If you could pair Jay, Kim, Adam, Hailey and Kevin with anyone from the One Chicago Universe apart from their current partners or love interests, who would it be? 🙂🙂🙂

Firstly, THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you for asking me this last night, it became a lifesaver for me. Tumblr kept crashing on me so I couldn't answer but god, it kept my mind so so entertained-- probably would've answered it as soon as I gave up on sleep after waking up after only a short time except adhd has made that I've been unfocused all day.

But finally after a stupid amount of attempts of sitting down to type this out, I'm finally doing it!!!

The number one thing that I'm going to take from this is that apparently I can see Sylvie Brett with basically everyone. Which makes sense since she's a literal angel who's so very lovable. (Honestly, to me, her and Kim are the most shippable characters in the whole OC universe (then, for me, it's Will).

I'm gonna answer this is two parts. My first one I'm only going to name one person each, and not have any overlaps and then the second one I'm gonna allow myself to list everyone I can see with them. Some of these aren't my top person I'd ship them with, because I had to give that person to someone else tho.

Jay: I really tried to think of characters who wasn't in Pd for him but, especially as I'm already using Sylvie, honestly the top person I'd ship him with is Kim! Although to stick with my rules, although I couldn't see this being a lasting relationship, I could see him and April having a shirt thing.

Kim: Kelly Severide. I kinda fell in love with the idea of them after seeing an interview with Marina and Taylor in and adding that in with the headcanon me and @fighterkimburgess have that him, Kim and Sylvie have girls nights (...do not ask how this transpired I don't even think I remember), I just have a lot of Thoughts about the dynamic they could have.

Adam: Sylvie Brett. I could've put Sylvie for all, really, but she is literally the only one (outside Kim) I could actually see Adam with so I just had to.

Hailey: ... Okay so my top answer for this I can't say for *reasons* on the account it spoils a part of a fic idea I have but after my top answer I'd say Will. Like to me Will is just very shippable and honestly there's a lot of reasons I could make it work between them. ALSO like idk why but not as a serious rarepair ship but I'm fairly confident I could make a fic between her and Connor work. Although to be ✨queer✨ for a minute, honestly Natalie, ever since the infection episode.

Kevin: Violet. This is a ship that Cíara got me on to, and honestly is my go-to ship if I need Kevin to be in a relationship with an oc character in my fics.

Now for my lists of everyone I'd consider:

Jay: Kim and Sylvie (I watched the hospital scene in S2 and like. I hadn't met brettsey yet and I was like, so sure I'd like them two together more than their canon ships). Also I think him and Natalie could have a good short fling storyline, especially if it enhanced their endgames. And of course, April.

Kim: Sylvie, Jay, Sarah, Severide, Hailey, Will, Stella, Erin, Matt, Natalie, Cruz, Ethan and Gabby. (This is why I call her Very Shippable 🤣)

Adam: Sylvie and... Yep that's it. Maybe a fling with Erin if the show started differently. AND if we're talking about non long term relationships, obviously Hailey. I cannot stand upzek but y'know. If I'm racking my brain to the point of suggesting a hook up with Erin, I can't not mention upzek bc at least I can see that relationship as like, not just sex.

Hailey: Kim, Will, Natalie, Stella, Erin, Vanessa, Ethan, Connor

Kevin: Violet, Vanessa, Sylvie, Stella, and Hailey.

As you can see, this fandom has turned me into somewhat of a multi shipper 🤣🤣🤣 And as you can see I very very much ADORE my wlw pairings. Honestly I have so many wlw fic to write and i think this gives a glimpse into why!!! Also that if I see Kim interact with ANYWAY my mind goes 👀

This was very enjoyable and I thought up a few more fics last night when thinking about this soooo, that's good!!! 💖

[staysuki]

now i feel kinda guilty for throwing felix under the bus so quickly 💀🥲 honestly the thought of felix and bibi grouping together is thrilling to me.. i'm even growing more and more keen to the idea of candy being felix or smth, even tho that would mean he's lying about "his" art (hopefully in that case, he would have a valid reason for that because it's bugging me that "candy" says he loves that he's pursuing arts) or at least even tho shady, that he'll turn out to be a good character 👀 he's growing onto me, and that has me questioning my morals a little bit, i just feel like there is a huge possibility of some huge backstory from his side... and pLS stop making him look so mysterious, it's getting kinda hot 😂😳 (okay i need to stop i'm sorry i'll take myself out) and let me tell you that I LOVED that even tho y/n snitched on seungmin and hyunjin (deserved), that seungmin kinda stood up for her (?) in a sense... like that except hyunjin, they don't have history with her and he justified that thingy about jailtime and even before said that he actually pushed her buttons too much.. it was kinda sweet if you look at it from a certain angle. and i'm on my "💕🌸🥰 jisung agenda 💕🌸🥰" and forever will, he seems so pure and genuine, so pls don't stomp on my high hopes, i love this sweet boi. somebody hurt him and i'll hunt them down 🔪🙂 (jkjkjk) AND i feel like we're bunch of detectives throwing theories left and right 😂i'm mostly trying to catch up on the other asks / theories but it's getting kinda hard 😳 -🦄

jumping back on the felix train huh 🙈✨. and felix as candy(???) hm 🤔 maybe he does secretly have an eye for art who knows. it’ll be interesting to see felix’s character development yeah? he’s so unknown and unpredictable right now, hence why so many people are afraid of him 🤧. AND PLEASE UNI ANON 😭 THE RED FLAGS ARE WAVING AT YOU 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

we stan kim seungmin and his morals. wonpil was right, he DID raise the boys right 😤💓 (minus the drunk driving, selling weed, and probably other illegal stuff he’s mixed in, idk).

jisung is advocating for world peace rn, and yeah, everyone’s loving him, which is v v sweet 🤧. i’m glad i added him in.

fun fact: jisung wasn’t supposed to be in this fic, his character is supposed to just be filled by jake but i thought, why not? and i’m glad i did! so many people loved him, he’s the perfect balancer and refresher in comparison to the entire friend group 💀

and yes, i love reading all the theories!! it’s so interesting even though i feel like an evil bond villain doing a witch laugh whenever i read some of em bc i’m the only one who truly knows what’s going on HSHWJSHS. i’m honestly so excited to share my whole plot breakdown and writing process once everything is finished 💓

just go through #slc talks on the tags if you haven’t yet, just so you don’t have to scroll thru my entire account, cheers! 💓

[adellovesrowan]

RSA- I mentioned this in one of the earlier asks from like way back but Finn is a soccer goalie. Speaking of sports, Bianca plays volleyball. She looks a lot like penny except she has curly hair. The haywoods have brown eyes in this au bc I can 🤎. Which of her parents does Cherry resemble? Nobody drowned Dian, it was a shipwreck. So there’s possibly other ghosts from the ship as well. Also Cherry skateboarding is very cool 🥺. Plus Thea and Adel bonding!!

OH YEA sorry i have bad memory lmao JAJDKS OHH YES shes a volleyball girl🥺 BROWN EYED HAYWOODS ARE SO PRETTYYY !! cherry actually resembles adel more ! she has no regards for rules and loves to cause trouble. often slacks around and gets lots of detention. she may be loud / rowdy but shes a charming kid😌 they both ( adel n cherry ) also they both have a thing for the teachers pet good girl nerds. like mother like daughter LMAO. ohhhh no POOR DIAN THO HHNGNGNG i hold him gently poor kid omg😭

RSA- okay one of the asks is refusing to send so I rewrote it. Thea is a ballet dancer primarily for the visual of her as Odette in swan lake (I’m a Tchaikovsky fan). Dian was Indonesian and Thea and Frankie are both from the Mediterranean. Thea specifically is Greek. The two of them met by the coastline. Thea’s original name was Galatea after the Greek myth so maybe Thea is a nickname. Thea 🤝 Mina= having shortened nicknames. Frankie just sleeps in a tub of water under Thea’s bunk.

UR SO VALID LMAO tchaikovsky is great. AAAAAAAA AA A A A KAJFKSNJD U GOT ME WEAK THERE ANON LMAO dian ,,,, indonesian kid ,,, i hold her gently omg i love u you silly ghost🥺 KSJDKAJD i need to stop myself before i project indo hcs into him LMAO. OOOHH galatea🥺 pretty name !! KAJDKNS LOVE THAT FOR FRANKIE

RSA- Bianca being a squib and not feeling bad about it bc of love and support from her friends and family. I don’t know who her other mom is, originally it was skye. Skye has like a casual romantic relationship with JT and I don’t really ship her with Penny anymore. Mina did not pick up any quidditch skills from either Skye or JT. In general, she’s bad at sports. She also just doesn’t care for them, although she always shows up for her friends’ games.

OH HELL YES support ur local squibs ,, love them🥺 OHHHH SKYE X JT👀 its ok mina me neither KDJAKJDJS ohhh shes so sweet for supporting her friends tho🥺🥺

RSA- I mentioned Mara being a fruit dhampyr and Mina growing different fruits for her. Her favorite is pomegranates. Speaking of fruits, Rowan’s friends having a reunion near the cherry tree that she and Adel grew. JT is allergic to cherries so she stays away from the tree. Merula keeps her company and pretends that Rowan and Adel’s tree is too sentimental for her. Bc of her allergy, Mina doesn’t grow cherries unless her mom is somewhere else.

MARA AND MINA ARE SO CUTE AND OHMYGODDD YES PLS the reunion around the cherry tree aaa🥺🥺 KAJFKJS NOO POOR JT AWW MERULAS SO SWEET TOO FJDJJD🥺

RSA- Cherry in a blue tux that she borrowed from Rowan. I don’t know what her favorite color or flower is but Mina decorating Cherry’s hair with flowers that are her favorite color. Wait does Cherry have short hair 👀? Iirc Finn’s name means “blonde” so he’s following the great werewolf tradition of having rlly obvious names. Mina dating Mara is a bit funny since I named her after Mina from the Dracula novel.

O GOD BLESS thats actually so good ,, cherry in rowans blue tux yes ,, OOOOO PLS THATS SO SWEET OF MINA🥺 also lowkey idk but id say purple is her fav color ZKDJSKDJ and for now no she has pretty long straight hair ! KDJDKSJ ur right omg love finn the blonde ww. KAJDKJA WOW theyre just vampire gfs like that huh . . .

RSA- Cherry working as a chef at Jae’s restaurant when she’s older. His restaurant is probably on the island or nearby it. Also I have considered Chiara adopting Finn. Finn Lobosca-Kim just has a ring to it. Her and Jae hyphenate names out of respect for each other plus they just really like hearing each other’s names (clowns). I can’t with these two. God, everyone is a sap for each other. Rip to their friends who have to deal with clowns.

OOOOOO THATS ACTUSLLY A GREAT IDEA BLESS !! FINN LOBOSCA KIM IS SOOOO CUTE OMGG😭 KDJFKAJDKS STOPP OH WOW i love jae and chiara soo much hhhgngmgnh

RSA- Finn being okay with his lycanthropy because he has someone like Chiara to guide him through it when he’s younger plus growing up in an environment that doesn’t hate him for being a werewolf. I like to think that wolfsbane is more common by this time. I mentioned Chiara adopting Finn and the image of her seeing this tiny little werewolf orphan and immediately recognizing him as “son”. Her on full moons and interacting with him like how wolves treat their cubs.

YEEEEEESSS TO ALL OF THIS BRO HHHNN i i love the lobosca kims so muchh

RSA- okay but mermaid! Adel in this au? Rowan deciding to build her school on an island so she could be near Adel. Mer!Rowan is also v good. In general, life on the island. There’s sand on the coastline so people going down to the shore on weekends. Beach episode with half of it centering on the teachers and the other half on the kids. JT and Mina spend time with each other by doing absolutely nothing. Mara has a really big sun hat and really strong sunscreen bc otherwise she’ll burn up.

OHHHH BEACH EPISODE BEACH EPISODE LMAO the kids playing all sorts of games like volleyball, building sandcastles, go swimming maybe, collect seashells, etc. hrhdhhdjdhd them burying one of them in sand LMAO

RSA- kids getting sick and Chiara making sure that their friends don’t get sick as well if they visit them. When Mina’s sick, any plants she grows turn weird. Bananas turning red,strawberries growing to the size of her head, etc. Finn tried one of the bananas despite Mina and Cherry warning him not to (he was fine). I mentioned her having a stuffed otter (his name is mango. She named him when she was five) and she keeps him as she grows older. Mango just lives under the bunk.

KAHDKDHJA POOR MINA LMAO but thats so funky djjsjsjd id love to see blue oranges. KAJDKDJ FINN NOOOO😭 also MANGO IS SO CUTE !! 🥺

RSA- yopi is such a cute name!!! 🥺 how’d you come up with it? Also more stuff about the school. There’s a mural painted by Badeea that shows the founding of the school. The Khanna family planted trees around the school, specifically rowan trees. The library is really big like the kind that someone could get lost in. Rowan knows it like the back of his hand. Kids can be spotted all over, next to bookshelves or at tables, reading the different books or doing their homework.

KAJFKAJSJ kinda funny story actually i had this cute baby toy i still have with me now fjhdksjs i named it yopi bc when i shake it it kinda makes a yow pee sound and im like yes perfect and idk why i assigned that name to adels puffskein maybe bc they have the same energy also cute KDJSKS. pretty mural and rowan trees yess🥺 OOOOO LOVE THAT huge dark academia style libraries ohgod i thrive.

RSA- More winter head canons. Cherry and Finn having a snow fight while Mina watches them out of a window with hot cocoa. She calls Mara “Marshmallow” when they’re alone. Cherry knows, she’s heard them. They’re not as subtle as they think. Penny makes sure Bianca is warm before letting her go out, esp when she’s little. Tiny Bianca waddling like a penguin in two coats and her head wrapped up in a scarf and hat. Bea convinced Penny to relax on that matter after stopping herself from laughing.

YESSS OMG THATS SO SOFT ! marshmallow is soooo cute bless😭 HDHDHDH THEYRE GAY LMAO. HDHDHD OMG BABYY BIANCA🥺🥺 oh bye auntie bea and bianca thoo djfjdksj

RSA- mornings at the school. Cherry seems like a morning person. The sun rises and she’s up and going. Mina is the exact opposite, she has to be dragged out of bed and she refuses to get up before noon on weekends. Adel and Rowan making breakfast together. Adel wrapping her arms around her wife while Rowan hums. Her doing that during the pregnancy and feeling Cherry kick 🥺 This is so sappy. I’m looking at old asks and Cherry befriending Mina was such a good suggestion. She needed more friends.

KAHDKNAKSJ cherry she can be a morning person if she wants to ,,,, most of the time she stays up pretty late actually smh😔 KAJDKDJJAJS OH SAME W MINA LMAO. HGHNJNNGGNGNG FUCKK THATS SO SOFTTT AAAAS OHMYYGO CHERRY KICKS AND THEYRE JUST🥺🥺 OOOO *dies*. and YAAA cherrys more than happy to be her frend🥺

RSA- General stuff about the roommates. Finn and Mara being both gay and lesbian plus werewolf and vampire solidarity. Cherry and Mara both having bangs. Thea and Frankie as a couple? 👀. They can’t say anything about Mina and Mara being mushy bc they’re the same way only more public about it. Dian is aromantic. He’s happy to see his friends being happy. Bianca is wlw and probably demiromantic. She reminds her mom of Bea since the haywoods all look a like. Ismelda has called her Bea before.

YEEEESSS I STAN FINN ADN MARA SM !! OHH BANG GANG !! 👀👀 yes please ,,, HDHDHD I LOVE THEM. OMGGG DIAN BABYYY JSJFJSBDKDJD the more u mention her the more attached tohim i become god bless wtff🥺🥺 i LOVE that for bianca !!

RSA- ideas I had for the au that were scrapped. I was debating between whether or not the school should have uniforms before deciding on them. Mina originally had an older sister named Skyler (two guesses as to who she was named after) that was friends with Bianca. I ended up cutting her out since she wasn’t that interesting and I changed Bianca’s age to match Mina’s. Speaking of which, Bianca was originally home schooled. The school building went through different designs including domed.

OOOOOO SKYLER . . . HDHDHDH i can only guess skye😩 OOOOO homeschool bianca🥺

RSA- the angel/demon au is so good. I wanna include angel/demon characters in this au but we have enough characters already. Wait a minute, half demon half angel Cherry 👀. I wonder how her wings would look. I should give Thea wings. I think they’d be white with black feathers at the ends. Speaking of wings, a student or professor with butterfly wings, specifically blue morpho wings🦋 or monarch butterfly.

HDHDHHD YAAA cherry would be a half demon half angel ! kahdksjs idk either but if youve seen my angel demon au art of adel and rowan then itll probably look like a mix of both of their wings in the second pic. OOOO THEAS WINGS LOOK SO COOL !! ohmygoddd DHDJDHDHHDHD THATS SO COOL adel would absolutely die tho she has pretty acute lepidopterophobia HDHDDH

[jiminie-and-his-pinky-finger]

okay so imma start making reblogs so lets hope these go through wufigerf im so excited to read this omg T_T everything about this <3

i love how we start off with a recap because as much as i love this universe- a quick refresher always helps 😁 also the thought of babies has me jumping in my seat uwigr

Except the internet didn’t have any ideas that actually seemed good.

this made me cackle, aint that the truth XD

The highest of the highs on the pregnancy no-no list, and also the highest of the highs on the things Ashley generally consumed at these parties.

i know i already sent this to you but i cant tell you how funny this is XD

Ashley was sure she could hear angels singing.

omg the universe is on her side and I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER T_T this is amazing-

AHHHH ITS THIS PART OF THE STORY KEUYFFWV

Even though she was at eye level with him, she felt small in that moment. She was so tired, and she wanted nothing more than to collapse into his arms in that moment.

oh i CRI :( this is so cute

we love that he unknowingly cuddling the baby along with his wife <3 its like a little cuddle pile :( i cant wait to hear his reaction

T-T how's there gonna be something for almost every family member except for the dad- like who took them all 🔫 although- i guess this means that she's gonna be getting something else for him 👀 so......

:((((((( WE GET TO MEET KIKI

“Giaff,” Kiki replied, promptly taking the stuffed giraffe from her. Then she stood up and waddled off.

*sobs* she sounds so cute, also just babies saying words <3 ive got a baby fever brewing once again

She rounded the bed to find Kiara squatted on the floor hugging her giraffe. She giggled when she saw Ashley.

🥺 i just imagined the cute little baby with her cheeks pressed against her stuffie :( goodness we just met her and im already so in love with her, i hope we get more of her!!!!!

“Are you pregnant?”

AHHHHHHFJCSNSC:":?LPW*@*@&# i did NOT expect that-

“Seokjin Jr.”

XDD idk why but this reminded me of all the RUN BTS episodes where the teams were choosing his name as their team name XD just name his child Seokjin Kim instead of Kim Seokjin

“Maybe I’ll give it to you again next year.”

oooo 😉😌 eheh that sounds like a plan, although they'll probably be a little bit too busy with Seokjin Jr. for another one that soon u-u

:(. this was so eeeeeeeee 🥰🥰🥰

just Jin being a little clueless of whats been happening and (also him unknowingly saving her from the eggs) XD this was such a very adorable story EEK

It's Not Easy to Keep a Christmas Secret

Pairing: Jin x OC

Genre: fluff

Word count: 5.8k

Warnings: mentions of pregnancy

Summary: Ashley thinks that announcing her pregnancy on Christmas is a great gift idea, but the trouble comes in when she tries to keep the secret from Jin….

This is the sequel to Snow is Falling Outside, But I’m Falling for You

A/N: @jinnie-forthe-winnie here ya go! Have fun!

Christmas was a special time of year to Ashley.  Every year, it reminded her of how she and Jin had met.  His younger brother, Tae, had convinced her to come to Christmas with him under the illusion that Tae’s parents had been hounding him and he’d needed a date.  Turns out, he’d really just wanted to introduce Ashley to Jin in hopes that they’d hit it off.  Not at all romantic, but it was a very funny story to tell.  As long as Tae wasn’t around, that was.  It inflated his ego too much to hear the story retold.

It had been four years since that Christmas.  Since then, Tae had gotten married to his long-time love Amber, and Jin and Ashley had also tied the knot.  Tae had moved back home to live near his family while Jin had joined Ashley in her hometown.  And, of course, Tae and Amber had welcomed their little daughter, Kiara, into the world the previous year.

In short, a lot had happened since that Christmas.  This year would be the best of them all, though, in Ashley’s opinion.  She and Jin were headed to see his family for the holiday, and she had quite the gift to give this year.  Her only hope was that she could make it to Christmas without anyone discovering it.  She’d been hiding it for three weeks already, and she had another five days to go.  Would Jin figure it out before Christmas?  She sure hoped not.

Her predicament had all started three weeks ago when that little test with two red lines had informed her of something she’d dreamt about experiencing for years: she was pregnant.

The news had elated her.  She’d wanted to tell Jin immediately, but every opportunity she’d been offered had been interrupted.  She’d accepted it as her fate to wait to tell him until Christmas, which, of course, was not that big of a deal.  It had only been two weeks away by the time she’d given up on telling him.

The only thing was…how did she go about announcing it?  She still didn’t have any idea by the time they arrived in town.  Time was ticking.

Amber’s pregnancy announcement had been anything but grand.  It had been a text in mid-February, right after Valentine’s Day.  “We’re expecting a baby in September!”  It had been fine, but it was Christmas…so Ashley needed to do something grander.

She wasn’t sure why she couldn’t come up with any ideas, but her brain was completely blank.  If it had been a few months ago, she’d probably had plenty of ideas, but now that it was actually happening, she had none.  Naturally, this only meant one thing: she’d have to consult the internet.  Except the internet didn’t have any ideas that actually seemed good.  Most of the suggestions were to get a flat lay.  Whatever that was.  Get a gold flat lay, get a blue flat lay, get a silver flat lay.  Ashley had no idea what that was, and she didn’t care to know.  She’d simply be doing her own brainstorming, it seemed.

Her first obstacle was presented to her the second night they were there.  Jin’s father, as always, had taken everyone to a party, and that meant…alcohol.  The highest of the highs on the pregnancy no-no list, and also the highest of the highs on the things Ashley generally consumed at these parties.  How on earth was she going to dodge the questions she’d surely get?

“Hey, remember the first time we came to one of these parties together?” Jin asked, nudging her as they stood in the middle of the way-too-big foyer.

Ashley laughed. “Yeah, we drank cider…and then we left to go ice skating.”

He chuckled. “Maybe we should do that again.  Let me see if I can find some cider.”

That issue had clearly remedied itself this time.  She’d been sure to smell that cider before taking a sip of it, though.  She couldn’t take any chances.

“Should we sneak out and go ice skating?” Jin suggested.

Normally, Ashley would’ve said yes right then and there, but she’d been feeling rather tired lately, and she didn’t really want to give any hints to Jin.  On the other hand…he would probably find it odd if she refused.

“Let’s do it!”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

Ashley wasn’t much better at ice skating than she had been four years ago.  She’d been ice skating a max of around ten times in her entire life, and maybe two of those times had been in the past four years, so she still resembled a fawn as she slipped and slid around the ice rink.  Thankfully, this one was nearly empty.  She wasn’t likely to bowl down a couple kindergarteners.

“Whoa!” Jin exclaimed as he caught her arms to keep her from sliding even further. “Still not great at this, huh?”

She rolled her eyes, accepting his hands as an anchor nonetheless. “Oh, shush.”

He chuckled. “Why should I?  You know you love my teasing!”

She shook her head. “Who told you that?”

“I told myself.”

“You shouldn’t trust him.  He’s not a reliable source?”

Jin pouted. “Hey!”

She grinned. “This place isn’t too different than it was four years ago.”

“Is it not?  I thought they got a new scoreboard.”

Ashley spun around to see what he was talking about, and it was enough to make her lose her balance.  Jin reached down just in time to catch her before her bottom hit the ice, but she was already startled at that point.  He pulled her up against his chest.

“Ash…you ok?”

She still wasn’t standing fully on her feet, so she actually had to look up to make eye contact with him.

“I…I’m ok.”

He furrowed his brows. “You sure?  You look a bit woozy.  Let’s go sit down for a moment.”

After she’d righted herself with the help of his strong arms, he pulled her off the rink and sat her down.  He swept a few strands of hair out of her face before making eye contact with her.  Ashley had to admit that that fall had skyrocketed how lethargic she felt.  She wanted to lean over and fall asleep right then and there, but she was determined to keep a straight face so as to not tip Jin off to how tired she felt.

“What?” she asked after a few moments.

“I don’t know…you just seem a bit tired.  You sure you’re ok?  We can go home now if you’d like.”

Ashley figured she must’ve been a terrible actor.  How had he seen straight through her so quickly?

She waved her hand dismissively. “No, we can keep going.  The fall just shook me up a bit.”

He seemed to let it go then, but he insisted on keeping a tight hold on her after they got back on the ice.

Ashley waited for what seemed to her to be a decent amount of time before telling Jin she wanted to go home.  She could only guess that she’d been right in guessing what was a decent amount of time, because he didn’t seem to think anything of it as she unlaced her skates.

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

The next morning presented a whole new challenge.  Jin’s mom had made eggs for breakfast.  Normally, this wouldn’t have been an issue for Ashley, but oh boy it was bothering her today.  She had to step out of the kitchen to stop herself from gagging.  As far as she could tell, no one else was having this reaction, so she could only guess that it was some symptom caused by pregnancy.  The only question was…how was she going to get out of this?  It seemed rude to downright refuse to eat, and saying she wasn’t hungry would definitely ring alarm bells in Jin’s head, so what was she to do?

“Hey,” Jin slung his arm over Ashley’s shoulders as he exited the kitchen. “Mom said she doesn’t have enough eggs to feed all of us, so do you want to go get breakfast?”

Ashley was sure she could hear angels singing.  Yes.  Yes, anywhere but near scrambled eggs.

She tried to keep her elation off her face as she replied. “Sure!  That sounds great!” Had that sounded natural enough?

The two of them sat at breakfast twenty minutes later, and Ashley made sure neither of them ordered eggs.  She wasn’t sure what about the smell of them had made her feel so sick, but she was sure she wouldn’t be eating breakfast if she so much as saw another one.

She and Jin had both ordered pancakes, although she wasn’t sure how many of them she could actually stomach.  The smell of eggs was still lingering in her sinuses and making her slight nauseated.

“It’s kind of nice to get away for a little while,” Jin laughed. “I forgot how…busy everyone seems at Christmastime.” He groaned after shoving a bite of pancake in his mouth. “Did you hear Dad say that three of his glasses got broken at a party last week?  He told me he’s never hosting a Christmas party again.  Which, obviously, is a complete lie.”

Ashley was glad that Jin was lost in his own world at that moment in time, because she could smell eggs again, and she was about to puke.

“I’m gonna go to the bathroom.  I’ll be right back.”

Jin smiled at her. “Oh, ok.  Don’t fall in while you’re in there.”

Usually, she would’ve laughed at that comment, but right now she was feeling too sick to find anything funny.  She ran off to the bathroom.

Thankfully, the feeling subsided after she’d stood in the bathroom for a few minutes, but she really didn’t want to go back out there.  Was there anywhere they could go that wouldn’t have cooked eggs?

She was hitting the point where she just wanted to tell Jin.  Everything was just starting to feel off, and she wanted Jin’s support…and his help.  But it would ruin the surprise.  Did it really matter anymore, though?  She still had no idea how to announce it anyways, so maybe she should tell Jin today and ask him for help.

She headed back to the table when she felt like she could stomach food again.

“Are you ok?” Jin asked when she sat down.

“Hmm?” she feigned innocence. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

He shrugged. “I don’t know.  You’ve just seemed a bit off since we got here.  Tired, maybe?”

She shook her head. “I’m ok.”

He raised an eyebrow, but once again, he didn’t push it.  She was doing a really bad job at hiding all of this.  Her husband knew her too well.

By the end of breakfast, Ashley had only eaten one pancake.  She hoped it was enough to satisfy any suspicions Jin had, but she really couldn’t stomach any more food at the moment.  It felt strange, though.  This wasn’t how she remembered morning sickness being described, and she couldn’t recall Amber even having it when she’d been pregnant.

Ashley felt unsettled when they got back in the car.  Jin was giving her a look that told her he knew something was off, and it was making her want to just tell him right then and there.

“What is it?” she asked.

He rubbed his chin. “I don’t know…I don’t want to seem pushy if nothing’s wrong, you just…don’t seem like you’re feeling great.”

She blew out a breath.  Maybe she could settle for a half-truth. “I’ve been feeling a bit nauseous this morning…it’s not too bad, though.”

He frowned. “Oh, Ash, why didn’t you tell me?”

“You took me out for breakfast.  I didn’t want to make you feel bad.”

“Do you think you’re sick?  Or is it something else?”

She shrugged. “I’m not sure.”

He hummed, reaching over to pat her thigh. “Promise me you’ll tell me if you feel sick again?  Is that why you ran off to the bathroom earlier?”

She nodded.

The car was silent for a few moments, the only noise accompanying them being the wind that was kicking the snowflakes around outside.

“Hey, you remember that time we had a snowman building contest?”

“You mean the one where you threw snow down my back?” Ashley asked.

He nodded, a wry grin on his face. “That’s the one.”

“How could I not remember?  I can still feel that snow.” She glanced at him. “Maybe I’ll get you back for that this year.”

He gasped. “You wouldn’t.”

“Oh, I would.”

He squinted at her. “I won’t believe it until I see it.”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

The exhaustion that had been bearable the previous night was nearly knocking her out this afternoon as she helped decorate Jin’s parents’ house.  They were having a few extended family members over for dinner, and as always, the house had to be in perfect Christmas condition.

“Do you need a nap?” Jin asked, resting his hands on her shoulders.

Even though she was at eye level with him, she felt small in that moment.  She was so tired, and she wanted nothing more than to collapse into his arms in that moment.  She stared at him for a few moments, considering her answer to that question.

Jin didn’t give her the opportunity to answer, though. “How about we go lay down for a few minutes?”

Once the two of them were laid in bed, Jin spooning Ashley, she realized that she was even more exhausted than she’d initially thought.

“Are you falling asleep already?” he chuckled.

“Hmm…how’d you know?”

“You’re getting heavier on my arm.  That always happens when you’re falling asleep.”

“Ah.”

She didn’t even know what to say to that.  He was too attentive for her to keep this secret for much longer.  She rested her arm on top of his over her abdomen.

“I’m tired,” she admitted.

“I assumed as much.” He was smiling against her shoulder. “Take a nap.  We can leave the decorating to Tae and Amber.”

That didn’t seem very fair to them, but she was too exhausted to argue with him at that moment in time. “Ok.”

“Still don’t know why you’re feeling bad?” he murmured as he nudged his nose against her ear.  He wiggled his hand out from under her arm and reached up to rest his hand against her cheek. “You don’t have a fever.”

She hummed, too tired to give him an actual response.

“You don’t usually get this tired, even during the winter.”

“Mhm….”

“Ah, I’ve got it.  Mom’s cooking is so good it’s putting you into a food coma.”

She giggled softly. “Yeah.”

“Yeah?  I solved the mystery?  Awesome!  Detective Jin to the rescue!”

His chattering was having a sedating effect on her today even though it generally kept her awake.  Though really, she wanted nothing more than to melt right into the mattress and fall asleep.�� She was already doing that even now.

“We should really go shopping tomorrow,” he muttered.

“Hmm?”

“For Christmas presents.  We didn’t buy anything at home for anyone.”

“Ah.” Yes, she kept forgetting about that. “I had an idea.  Just needed to put it together.”

“Oh, really?  Care to enlighten me?”

“Mm…no.”

He sighed. “Oh, come on!  Why not?”

“Because it includes your present.”

“Well, that’s no fun.  I want to know now.”

“Christmas is in three days.  You can wait.”

She could feel him pouting against her shoulder. “That’s not fair.”

“Why not?”

“Becaaauuuse…I want to know.”

She reached back and poked him in the side. “Stop whining.  You’ll find out soon enough.”

He laughed. “Hey, I thought you were tired.”

“I am.  Your whining didn’t change that.”

“Maybe you should sleep so you’re feeling well when my aunt and uncle get here.”

Her eyes fluttered shut. “Mkay, I can do that.”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

Jin convinced her to join him for shopping the next day.  The mall was completely packed, and Ashley wasn’t sure she wanted to wander away from Jin.  She needed to if she was going to find what she was looking for, but she would probably lose him if they split up.

At least she’d finally found an idea.  She’d remembered something she’d seen once where the couple gifted everyone gifts to represent their new role.  Aunt, Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa.  It was smart, easy, and something she could do in one day.  And, most of all, it was cute.  It was an actual gift rather than just an announcement, which she liked.  She thought of it as a kind of souvenir to remember the day.

“How about we split up?” she suggested against her better judgement.

“Split up?” he groaned. “Why?  So you can make a little secret?”

“You know it.  I can’t let you know what your gift is before I give it to you.” She nudged his arm. “You ask that like you’re gonna tell me what my present is before tomorrow!”

“You’re not any fun.  Let me guess – you’re going to buy me another baking pan.”

She gasped in mock outrage. “Hey!  You weren’t supposed to guess that!”

He grinned wickedly. “I knew it!  I’m so good at guessing!”

She smacked his arm. “We’ll meet at the entrance in two hours, ok?”

Ashley hadn’t realized how ridiculously hard it would be to find what she was looking for.  She knew she should’ve planned this way ahead, but she’d had absolutely zero ideas until this morning.  She could only pray that she’d find something before she had to meet up with Jin.  If not, she’d have to come up with something else entirely before tomorrow morning, and she was sure that would not be happening.

She weaved through the stores trying to find anything that could work.  Eventually, she came across a onesie decorating kit.  It wasn’t what she’d been hoping for, but it would work, so she bought it.

It was two stores later where she found something that slightly matched what she’d been looking for.  She’d found some mugs.  Best Grandpa, Best Grandma, Best Aunt, Best Uncle.  But nothing that had dad on it.  Odd.  She’d just have to keep looking for something that she could give to Jin.

She was near giving up by the time the two-hour mark was approaching.  What on earth was she going to give Jin?  She was dragging her feet through the store when something caught her eye.  It was a shirt that read Best Dad in the Galaxy.  A cheesy Star Wars reference, that was for sure.  But it made her laugh, and she was sure it would have Jin laughing too once he’d gotten over the initial shock of the news.

So, after a surprisingly successful shopping spree, she met Jin back at the front of the mall.

“What on earth did you buy?” he asked with a laugh when he saw all the bags she was carrying.

“I’m not telling you!  You’ll find out tomorrow.”

He sighed heavily. “Fine…I’ll wait.  You found everything you needed, though?”

She shrugged. “I didn’t find anything for Kiki, but that’s it.”

“That’s ok.” He held up a bag. “Everything in here is just for her.”

Ashley’s eyes widened. “Man, you don’t even spoil me that much!”

He snorted. “Come on, it’s her first Christmas where I can actually buy her toys.  Let me spoil her a little bit.”

“I wouldn’t say that you’re just spoiling her a little bit, but okay….”

As the two of them stacked their bags in the back of the car, Jin sighed. “We really need to stop waiting so late to do our shopping.  I feel like we do this every year.”

“In our defense, we did host last year, so we were definitely busy doing other things.”

“That’s true.  Still, we could at least do some shopping on Black Friday.”

She patted his shoulder. “We can do that next year if it makes you happy.”

Ashley ended up borrowing some wrapping paper from Jin’s mom.  She hadn’t had the thought to buy any until hours after they’d gotten back from the store, so she had no other choice.  She was honestly just glad that she only had today and tomorrow to keep the secret now.  She could tell Jin was starting to get suspicious, and she wanted to tell him before he figured it out.  If she just survived today and tomorrow, she’d be fine.  She just needed to not get tired or nauseated.

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

Ashley discovered a new smell that made her nauseous the next morning.  Coffee.  It was a rarity in Jin’s parents’ house, but someone was making it this morning.  Ashley stepped outside onto the porch the second she was out of the hallway.  And for some reason, Amber followed her.

“Hey there!  I haven’t seen much of you since the night you got here,” Amber laughed.

Ashley smiled, which was easier to do now that she wasn’t being assaulted by the scent of coffee. “Yeah…Jin and I have gone out quite a bit, I guess,” she laughed.

Amber nodded. “I mean, I can’t blame you.  It’s the season to go out and have fun.”

“Yep….”

It was silent for a few moments before Amber picked the conversation up again.

“I wanted to ask you if you’re feeling all right.  You’ve just seemed a bit tired recently.”

“Oh?” Ashley laughed dryly. “Yeah, I’m just not used to this much activity, I guess.  I’m not twenty-two anymore.”

Amber nodded. “True.  I feel like I’ve aged five years since having Kiki.  She’s so active, and I can’t keep up with her half the time!”

“Isn’t that what Tae’s for?” Ashley asked.

“Uh, yeah, it looks like it.  He’ll chase her around for hours!  I don’t know where he gets the energy!”

Ashley shrugged. “He’s always been full of unexplainable energy.”

Amber giggled. “He’s a lot more energetic than he used to be.” She nudged Ashley’s arm. “What about Jin?”

“Jin?  I’m not sure I’d say he’s energetic, but we don’t have a little kid yet.  He mostly plays video games when he’s home.”

“Well, maybe that’ll change soon.  You want a kid eventually, right?”

“Of course.”

Ashley was just hoping that Amber wasn’t onto her yet.  Out of everyone here, she was the most likely to realize Ashley was pregnant.  She’d been pregnant not too long ago, so surely, she’d recognize the symptoms.

“We probably should go back inside.  It’s pretty cold out here,” Amber laughed.

“I’ll be in in a few minutes.”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

Christmas Eve didn’t get much better.  The smell of coffee lingered in the house for the rest of the day, and Ashley spent the majority of that time at least slightly nauseous.  The problem really came when they started their celebration that night, though.  Jin’s mom had bought wine, and Ashley wasn’t sure how she was going to avoid questions if she didn’t drink any of it.  Jin and Tae both knew her all too well to not ask questions if she didn’t drink alcohol tonight, and she couldn’t think of a single excuse at this moment in time.

So…what was she going to do?

Simple.  She was going to try and avoid questioning by playing with her niece.

“Kiki, which one’s your favorite?” Ashley held up two of the toddler’s stuffed animals.

“Giaff,” Kiki replied, promptly taking the stuffed giraffe from her.  Then she stood up and waddled off.

“Hey!  Kiki, come back here!”

Kiara seemed to think it was funny to make her aunt chase her around the house, because she bolted straight down the hall as soon as those words came out of Ashley’s mouth.

“Come back here, you silly!” Ashley exclaimed.

Kiki had completely disappeared, though, and three of the bedroom doors had been left open.  She checked the empty bedroom first.  It was silent and nearly empty but for a bed and a nightstand.  Ashley walked around the bed.  No Kiara.  She knelt down and checked under the bed just for good measure.

Next, she checked her and Jin’s room.  It was the closest room to the beginning of the hallway, so maybe she’d wandered in there.

“Kiki?”

A little giggle came from behind the bed.  Ashley snuck around the bed.

“I hear you, Kiki.  Where are you?”

She rounded the bed to find Kiara squatted on the floor hugging her giraffe.  She giggled when she saw Ashley.

“Hey…it’s not funny to run away from your aunt, Kiki.”

The toddler seemed to think otherwise though, letting out another giggle as Ashley picked her up.

“We need to stay in the living room, Kiki,” Ashley informed her as she shut all the bedroom doors. “We’re not allowed to come back here alone, ok?”

Kiara just giggled at her.  Ashley mimicked her, giggling as she tickled Kiara’s stomach.  The little girl squealed.

“You’re just like your dad, aren’t you?  Very silly.  I didn’t tell you it was time to play hide and seek!”

Kiara reached up and placed her hand over Ashley’s mouth, and Ashley gasped in mock offense.  This only induced more giggles from the fifteen-month-old she was holding.

“Who taught you to do this?  Was it your dad?  I need to have a talk with him,” Ashley mumbled under Kiara’s hand.

“Ah Dada,” Kiara replied.

“It was Dada?  I knew it!  This is exactly the kind of thing he’d do!”

Kiara giggled. “Dada.”

“Should we go see him?”

The little girl wiggled against her hip, all the while not moving her hand off Ashley’s mouth.

“All right, let’s go do that.”

Ashley found Tae in the kitchen when she went searching for him, and Kiki was wiggling even more when she saw him.  She took her hand off Ashley’s mouth so she could lean towards him.

“Dada!”

Tae turned to her and gasped. “Kiki!”

She held her hands out toward him, dropping her giraffe in the process.

He lifted his hands up. “You want to come to Dada?”

“Dada!” she squeaked again.”

“That’s a yes,” he laughed as he took her from Ashley’s arms.  He rubbed her stomach. “What, are you not having fun with Auntie Ashley?”

Kiara set her hand against his mouth, and he bit down on it with his lips.  She giggled.

“Mm, Kiki tastes good,” Tae mumbled around her hand.

Kiara was letting out a belly laugh after that, bringing her other hand up to smack his cheek.  He gasped, his mouth falling open.

“Kiki!”

“Dada,” she laughed.

“I’m gonna have to get you now!” he exclaimed before tickling her.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Ok, what do we say to Auntie Ashley for playing with you?” Tae asked.

“Sae ‘oo!” Kiara exclaimed, the pronunciation of the two words completely butchered.

“You’re welcome, Kiki!” Ashley laughed. “If you want to play more, you can come find me.”

Kiara clapped her hands.  Then she gasped. “Dada!  Giaff?”

“Oh?  Is your giraffe missing?”

Ashley bent down to pick it up off the ground. “Here it is, Kiki!”

Kiara clapped her hands. “Giaff!”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

Strangely, playing with her niece actually had distracted everyone from asking questions for the rest of the night.  She’d done it.  She’d made it through Christmas Eve without anyone suspecting her.  She brushed her teeth happily that night as she anticipated the following morning.  It was actually going to be a surprise!  She’d succeeded!

“Hey, Ash, I’ve got a question,” Jin announced as he walked into the bathroom.

“Hmm?”

“Are you pregnant?”

She spun around to stare at him with wide eyes. “What?”

“Well, I mean…I don’t know.  I was just thinking about it.  You’ve been kinda tired recently, and breakfast was making you look sick at least two days this week.” He shrugged. “You’ve also drank no alcohol while we’ve been here, which is pretty odd for you.”

She stared at him, dumbfounded.  Did she tell him now or stall for the morning?

“Why are you just asking now?” she laughed nervously.

He paused. “I don’t know.  I just didn’t want to ask you if it was just a day or two, but it’s been quite a few now.”

She cringed internally.  So he’d been thinking about this for a while now, then?

She set her toothbrush down and wandered into their bedroom.  Once she’d found his gift in the pile of presents, she headed back to the bathroom and handed it to him.

“How about you open this now?”

He glanced down at the gift in her hands before looking back up at her, a confused look settling on his features.  She nudged the gift towards him, prompting him to take it.

“Is this my gift?”

She nodded. “The one you’re opening here, at least.  You know I have more at home for you.”

He took it from her before cautiously popping the tape off of it.  His brows furrowed when he pulled out a shirt.

“Look at what the front of it says.”

He shook the shirt out so that it unfolded, a grin overtaking his face when he read what it said.

“Best Dad in the Galaxy?  Really?”

She smiled, embarrassed. “There weren’t a lot of options, ok?  I had no idea how to announce it until yesterday!”

He chuckled. “So you are pregnant?”

She nodded. “I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t super obvious.  I’ve felt really off while we’ve been here, and I’m not sure I was doing that great of a job at hiding it.”

“Well, it is the season for untimely sicknesses, so I’m sure if anyone did notice, they just assumed you were little under the weather.  Like I did at first.”

She smiled sheepishly. “So, I guess this was good timing, then?”

“When did you find out?”

She grimaced. “Almost four weeks ago now.”

“Really?” he asked, shocked.

“Yeah.  I was going to tell you a while ago…but every time I tried, the moment didn’t work out, so I gave up and decided I’d tell everyone at Christmas!”

He laughed in disbelief. “So…you’re like eight weeks pregnant, then?”

She nodded. “Just about.”

He pulled her into a kiss, leaving her a little breathless when he pulled away.

“We’re gonna have a baby.”

She giggled. “We are.  We’ll have a baby in July.”

He smiled.  Then he frowned. “Hey, why didn’t you tell me on my birthday?”

She winced. “I was going to…but.  We were out with the guys, and then both of us were tired by the time the night was over…it just didn’t feel right.”

“I suppose I can understand that.  That’s how I felt about proposing.  The time just never felt right.”

“I guess both of us are a little silly.  Neither of these things panned out for us, did they?”

“I mean, we’re married and expecting a baby, so something panned out.  Maybe just not the way it could’ve.”

Her next laugh very quickly became a yawn.

Jin chuckled. “Should we head to bed now?”

“Please.  Kiara tired me out this evening.”

The two of them were cuddled up in bed a few minutes later, Ashley’s head laid on Jin’s chest. 

“I’m kind of glad that you figured it out, honestly,” she admitted.

“Really?” he asked with a chuckle.

“Yeah.  I wanted to tell you before I told everyone else, but I didn’t know how to bring it up.”

“Well I’m glad I asked, then.  You haven’t started brainstorming names without me, right?”

“Nope.  Got any ideas?”

“Seokjin Jr.”

She groaned. “Of course you’d say that.”

He laughed. “Ok, what would you name them?”

She hummed. “Maybe Luna.  Or Oliver.”

“Those are cute.”

“You like them?”

He nodded. “I do.” Then he went silent.

She tapped his chest. “Can we go to bed?  I want to be up for Christmas tomorrow.”

He chuckled. “Sure.  We can do that.” He rubbed her back. “See you in the morning.  I love you.”

“Love you too.”

※ ❅ ※ ❅ ※

The next morning is when Ashley discovered that Tae was passing his Christmas morning shenanigans down to his daughter.  It was only eight am when the toddler came waddling into the bedroom.  Tae and Amber were already over, apparently.

“A-tie.  Unca.  Wakey!” she was tugging the comforter off the bed as she tried to climb it.

Ashley rolled over. “Who sent you, you little squeak?”

“Dada,” Kiki replied with a giggle.

“Of course.” Ashley tugged the little girl up onto the bed. “It’s not nice to wake people up, you know.”

Kiki giggled again.

“All right, I guess it’s time to wake up,” Jin sighed. “Your Dada’s silly, Kiki, you know that?”

“Dada silly.”

“That’s right,” Jin nodded.

The three of them headed out to the living room a few moments later.

“Good job, Kiki!  You did it!” Tae exclaimed.

Kiki giggled and clapped her hands together.

“I think you shouldn’t be using your daughter against us, Tae,” Jin commented.

“I don’t see why not.  Isn’t it better than me waking you up, anyways?”

Jin rolled his eyes.

“All right, I want everyone to open the gifts from us first,” Ashley announced a few minutes later when everyone was seated in the living room. “It’s sort of a group gift, so you all need to open them at the same time.”

It wasn’t a minute later that they were all ripping open their gifts, and Amber gasped. “You’re pregnant!  I knew it!”

“Seriously?” Ashley asked. “How?”

Amber laughed. “I don’t know…the way you were acting just reminded me of how I acted when we weren’t telling people I was pregnant with Kiki.  Lucky guess, I suppose?”

“Hey, Kiki, you know what this means,” Tae patted her stomach. “You’re gonna have a cousin next summer!”

“Coosin?” Kiki asked.

“That’s right!”

Kiki clapped her hands together. “Yay!  Coosin!”

Jin and Ashley sat on the porch that evening, swinging.  It was snowing gently outside, but the moon could be clearly seen from where they were sitting.

“Just think, next year we’re going to have a little baby with us,” Jin laughed.

Ashley grinned. “You’re right, we will.  Christmas will never be the same!”

“Has any Christmas been the same?”

She shook her head. “Not really.  I mean, we spent one Christmas here, and then we spent the next one with my family, and the year after that we went on a cruise, and last year we had it at our house, and Kiki joined us for the first time, and now we’re here again.”

Jin laughed. “With that pattern, it sounds like we’re due for a cruise again next year.”

“Not with a five-month-old, we aren’t!”

“Hey, it could be fun!”

“Nope,” Ashley shook her head. “It’s not happening.”

Jin snapped his fingers. “It was worth a shot.”

She laughed. “Was this a good Christmas gift?”

“It was a great Christmas gift.  The best one, I daresay.”

“Maybe I’ll give it to you again next year.”

“Ok, let’s not get ahead of ourselves-”

She smiled and leaned over to kiss him. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

A/N: I had SO MUCH FUN writing this. Honestly, it went by a lot faster than I expected. I was going to post it in early December...but...that did not happen, clearly

It would be greatly appreciated if you reblogged the story if you liked it!

FINALLY READ IT AAAAA

bibi s such a badass and i love her for that. "you take after jae, ew" LOL PLS it s nice that parts of hyunjin s past have finally come to shore. i love felix s principles, cunning but never lies. ugh naur. jisung was no mafia boss but a son of one lol (or con man, same difference) AND SEEEE THE MAFIA BOSS STATEMENT YOU GAVE WAS A CLUE AND THE DOTS. they. all. meant. something.

i still feel like my 2 besties are genuinely nice, they did mention that they re doing all these crimes for a reason. not the best solution, or even a good one, to whatever problem they have but okay. i expected jisung and felix to have a deeper relationship rather than a business one but ig the world doesn t always work in our favour 💀 i m really excited to learn more about those two. on the outside, it doesn t look like felix cares for his 'friends' but you never know 🤥

i feel like jisung has a similar father-son situation as hyunjin, thus the need for more money or smth like that idk. maybe that s why he let it slip that he knows hyunjin s mother was a famous painter. he felt empathetic in some way. OH YEAH IT WAS SAID THAT JISUNG S FATHER IS IN JAILLLL so ye need more money ig

dude is jake s confirmation about wonpil having jisung vibes in a way that they hide their true intention behind an innocent mask, a foreshadowing that wonpil my man will have a scandal soon 👀🤔 chapter 33 is my favourite yet LMAO seungmin straight up did comedy JJDFSJDJKJKJJGSFJSGFJGFKJFJKDFGDSKFJG I DIDN T EXPECT SLC SEUNGMIN WOULD BOTHER JOKING YA KNOW. i m falling in love with his character deeper every update :">> felix is now at 2nd place. seungmin king. LASTLY FELIX S AND Y/N S CONVO AT THE RECENT CHAPTER!!!! "can i trust kim seungmin?" "you can. but it's up to you if you will" YOOOO THIS SOUNDS SOOOO COOLLLLL AAAAAA :">

------

i sus everyone bc you always make surprising revelations Y^Y initially, i assumed that jisung gave hyunjin the tickets to do some behind the scenes stealing but he revealed that he did it because he felt bad. he might be lying though. BUT I FEEL LIKE HE S NOT. i m willing to bet my life that FELIX AND JISUNG ARE NICE AND SOME KIND OF ANTI-HEROES LOL look where my loyalty and trust in seungmin went 😌

i will wait for that FLUFFY jisung fic. pls no more intense detective stories for now :">> MY BRAIN CANOT HANDLE BALANCING THE THEORIES OF EHALOJ AND SLC ALL AT THE SAME TIME 😤

- ␈

bibi is a scorpio (like me??) confirmed, jkjk. she's a libra but she seems like a scorpio in this fic

THE MAFIA BOSS THING WAS A JOKE PLS 😭💀 i told y'all, i don't like the mafia plots. this is just mafia-coded but not fully 💀💀 WELL, IT'S A CONGLOMERATE CON ARTIST it's an entirely different thing. this is a fic with capitalism commentary idk. crazy rich asians probs.

true. felix is such an enigma. like, he's so scummy??? but he has a weird moral compass??? like, he doesn't smoke nor drink but he will sTEAL. he doesn't lie but he is aNNoyiNg and sKeTCHY. like, i wouldn't say he's morally ambiguous since he's pretty much the worst person to associate yourself with but y'know, he's weird.

felix is a pretty much "here for business (and maybe entertainment) only" if jisung wasn't paying him, he probably won't be here at all. and since jisung can spend tens of thousands of dollars just to go to an exhibit, we can only imagine how much felix is getting paid—it's a fulltime job 🤩👩‍🦯

true. hyunjin and jisung seems like they're parallels except hyunjin didn't turn out to be a criminal. he's just outwardly shitty but in a childish immature way. isn't it kinda twisted how jisung made hyunjin feel like he's the tOpdoG of the group only to have the tables turned on him. hyunjin is so small now compared to the others. man's got some problems.

hEY, do you guys really think i'm gonna keep putting out shittee people here 😭 have some trust my besties~ the wonpil revelation IS juicy tho mhmm mhmm. but dw, i'm letting everyone rest. no more conspiracies and whatnot, ACT II is just full of answers. plus idk, perhaps the end?

seungmin best boy. see what i told you. every seungmin side character is TOP NOTCH. idk what to do with myself atp. also i wonder if y/n (or the readers) will trust felix's words 😮‍💨🤔 what does it mean~

y'all really can't help but look for smth deeper with these VILLAINS huh. anti-heroes 😭 you think they're deadpool or smth. i don't think any of these guys are stealing art for "the greater good" or smth.

p.s. the next smau MIGHT BE fluffy, who knows. but dw, it won't be anything too heavy. i'll stop with the conspiracies for now 💀 definitely just a fun little fic

Thank you for tagging me @t-e-reynolds this was so fun!

Favorite Book: Twilight or Eclipse. I feel like it’s an unpopular opinion to like Eclipse but it’s been my favorite since I read the series the first time. The main reason I liked it was because we got to learn more about Rose.

Favorite Movie: Twilight (its so nostalgic)

Human or Animal Blood: I think I’ll go with both too

Favorite Character: I can’t choose between Emmett, Rose, or Quil

Most Hated Character: I’m honestly not sure? But I’ll probably go with Jasper maybe idk. I just think it was so unnecessary for him to be a confederate.

Favorite Underdeveloped Side Character: this one is hard too lol so I have a few options. Riley, the Denali’s, the Volturi, Maria, every single character introduced in Breaking Dawn. (Yes this is basically all of them but I find them all interesting lol)

OTP: Emmett x Rose

NOTP: Jacob x Renesmee & Quil x Claire (I mean honestly any of the imprint relationships (except maybe Jared and Kim but even then no one should be forced into “love” against their will @ smeyer 👀))

Personal Headcanon: I also have a lot for this one so I’ll just link to some of my favorite headcanon posts I made:

Esme Midnight Sun Headcanon

Emmett’s favorite mysteries

Quil, Jake, and Embry and their last names

A wolf pack head canon

A long list of Emmett headcanons

You become a vampire, and are lucky enough to get an ability. What is it?: the ability to understand if someone is lying because I feel like I’m already pretty good at that and so it would just be hightened as a vampire.

Favorite Movie: New Moon. I will forever be Team Jacob and that bike fixing scene is 👌😫

Human or Animal Blood: A mix. I'm not gonna be a cold blooded murderer, but some bitches out there gotta die.

Favorite Character: Rosalie Man-Eater Hale

Most Hated Character: Renee Narcisist-Who-Uses-Only-Daughter-As-Her-Therpist Dwyer

Favorite Underdeveloped Side Character: Peter and Charlotte. I need their spinoff.

OTP: Garrett x Kate x Tanya we love healthy poly rep.

NOTP: Jacob x Renesmee

Personal Headcanon: The vampires have fangs, Smeyer is just a kinkshamer.

You become a vampire, and are lucky enough to get an ability. What is it?: The ability to understand any language being spoken, and can absorb knowledge of it temporarily so I can speak back.
