The Reading Rooms

Time for the weekly round-up! The response to this last week was INCREDIBLE! I hope the writers listed got some amazing comments and plenty of love because they deserve it!

Always remember to heed the warnings posted by the individual authors. What I'm happy to read may not be what you're happy to read, so I take no responsibility if you find something you're not into.

And finally, Tumblr is a community. Reblog, gush like you've never gushed before - I promise you, the authors below will love it, and love you for it! We write because we love to, but we share our work because we love the community of it. If you read something you like, let the world know! 💕

The List

This week was a busy one! I've been trying to get the next chapter of For Your Consideration finished, and I also posted the first part of a new miniseries - Breakfast.

On reading, I actually read some non-Bucky related stuff this week (shocker!).

Roy Kent / Joaquin Torres / Bob Floyd

This absolute gem Blood, Mud and Everything In Between by @roseandxanderfics featuring Roy Kent and an F!Rugby Player.

Come A Little Closer by @yourauthorjen featuring Joaquin Torres and F!Reader

The magnificent @marvelwitchergilmore killed it with two Joaquin fics I read this week: Where it Hurts and One Night

Sweetness by @cowboybeepboop featuring Bob Floyd x F!Reader (so, so cute, I am becoming a Lewis Pullman girlie)

This cute friends to lovers with Bob x F!Reader by @withahappyrefrain AND also The 5 Times You Flirted with Bob (I LOVE the TGM gang in this one 🥰)

And then, of course, there was SO MUCH BUCKY this week. So much.

Busy Woman by @wbellab (which also has part 2 linked, so be sure to read both!) (F!Reader)

Sneaking Around AND admitting feelings for Bucky by @fanficgirl429 (F!Reader)

Guys.... I have a thing for the suit. I read two fics about the suit. in the suit?! by @delicatebarness and the new uniform by @buckysouvenir (F!Reader, both insanely hot. It's the suit, it's killing me.)

Y'all - have you read declassified by @dreamwritesimagines?? You need to. If Congressman!Bucky gets your vote (yes, yes please) then this is for you because it's PERFECT. Off you pop, go read it now. Three parts so far and I am ITCHING for more. (F!Reader)

We're all into our Tower fics again (🤘2012!) so Interim Measures by @cheekybarnes should be on your list! (F!Reader)

When @mandoalorian starts the notes with "eventual smut and there will be a lot of it" ... well, sign me up. It's the start of if this is war, i surrender (F!Reader)

@sunday-bug has got a glorious Stucky x F!Reader fic Their Little Spitfire

@lessersole has a really great Congressman!Bucky fic which features Matt Murdock (yaay!) Bridging Boroughs (F!Reader)

Everything's Just Perfect by @ama3003 - soooo good, I'm a sucker for an exes fic! (F!Reader)

If we're calling him Sergeant, I'm here for it pals. Hey, Sergeant by @marvelwitchergilmore is sooo good!

I literally read this because I loved that @little-miss-dilf-lover wrote the words "chub on" and I couldn't stop giggling. Nevertheless, Morning Wood was phewww so good!

GIRL DAD BUCKY?! @flowersforbucky, my love, mine all mine was gorgeous 😍

@daxisyzz gave us Light After the Shadows and fluffy, lovely Bucky.

You might recall my excitement about there only being ONE BED!! in this @fanfictiongirlie fic Perfect - which also has a part 2 linked!

Finally, we all need to show Skittle some love over at @mrsbuckybarnes1917 because she finished Plus-One Problems this week - 106k words!! An absolutely bonkers achievement 🙌

I think that was it for this week 😅 I mean, there's probably more. My notes app and my google doc reading lists are not it - I can't keep up! And trying to save stuff in my 'likes' doesn't work either. Also, I wrote this on my laptop this week not my phone. Much less stressful 😂

Happy reading, gang. Enjoy this bloody gorgeous gif I just found. I'll be rewatching it for the foreseeable.

[these-are-not-my-titties]

hiii lovely happy wednesday 🫶🏽:) random question while i’m on my 10 :D this kind of goes hand in hand with your coffee shop headcanons if you squint, but in your opinion what coffee shop pastry would the boys (your favorite jackles characters) choose? 🤎

if that makes sense, like I think beau would really like our dulce de leche cheese danish :p or like ben might like a jalapeño cheese bagel lmao

again I loveee your insights <3 it makes work more entertaining for sure cause then i’m thinking of your responses at random times lol 💗 + I hope you’re having a wonderful week !!🫂

Happy Wednesday, friend! 😘 Oh yay! I love your random questions, and I love coffee shop pastries. 🥐 ☕

Dulce de leche Danish sounds amaziiiiing. 😩 And thank you!! I'm flattered that you love my insights - and that my little rambles infiltrate your brain! lolol 🥰💜 Hope you're having a great week too, hun! Mine is ok so far. I have a lot coming up tomorrow, so this is a fun distraction until then! 😂

HEADCANON: Coffee Shop Pastry Orders

Dean Winchester

*snorts* You mean the human garbage disposal?

We all know Dean's not picky about food. Though since he's drinking an espresso in his coffee order headcanon, I think he'd go for something indulgent to fill his stomach, like a cheese Danish, a couple of donuts, or if they have it, a brookie. 😂

He's very happy to show it to you and Sam when he brings it over to your table, strolling over on those bowed legs. Sam, of course, wears that half amused, half judgy look of his.

"It's a cookie mashed up with a brownie, Sam. Best of both worlds."

Beau Arlen

Beau the basic latte guy needs a basic (but delicious) coffee shop confection to go with it, so I'm going to say he's into coffee cake.

He likes them crumblies on top and a nice, warm cinnamon swirl in his cake. 👌🏽

Just be warned. He's probably going to have you order him another slice of cake while he's still working on the first one.

Soldier Boy (Ben)

Like Dean, this guy's not all that picky about food post-captivity. Of course he likes good food, but he's also highly indulgent in most respects.

"I like what I fucking like," as he often tells you with a smirk. That goes for food, drugs, and frisky women (of almost all ages).

That being said, since we paired him with a cold brew, he'll probably want something classic, like himself: a glazed donut or a slice of marble pound cake with that thin strip of icing on top.

However, I think he could be persuaded (by you) to order something a little adventurous. He'd be game enough to try a jalapeño cheese bagel, with hash browns, and that donut and/or slice of pound cake on the side...

And he'll probably tell them to pack him up an extra bagel for the road. 😂 🥯

Russell Shaw

Russell's another one who's highly self-indulgent lol. He ain't picky about food, that's for sure. He'll eat junk food just as easily as a five-course meal from a Michelin star restaurant.

But since he got paired with a flat white, I think he'd get the biggest cinnamon roll he can find. He'd ask if they could warm it up for him, get that icing all warm and running down the sides, sticky and sweet.

And he looks at you mischievously while he licks his fingers afterward. ✌🏼

(He's only satisfied when he makes you blush.)

AN: Do you agree with these? Got other pastry orders for these guys? 💜

I love working on these HCs every time, no matter how simple or complex the prompt is. 😂

💐 EXBF!JUNGKOOK HEADCANNONS

REQUEST: “i was thinking like you guys are still somewhat friends after the breakup (maybe in the same friend group or smt) and he’s still very much in love with you type thing ykk 🤭”

warnings: exboyfriend!jungkook x exgirlfriend!reader. clingy ex. he’s still MADLY in love. he’s kinda annoying but we love him. slightly fwb (?). same friend group. friends post-breakup.

lulu speaks: hi i LOVE this trope so im very happy u (beautiful anon) requested this. hope this makes u happy 😚

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who still calls you ‘baby.’ doesn’t even blink when someone goes, “didn’t you guys break up like 6 months ago?” “so what? she’s still my baby.”

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who sits next to you in every setting imaginable. restaurants, movies, bars, car rides, booths at dinner. he will physically move people to be able to sit next to you. “scoot” has single-handedly become the most used word in his vocabulary.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who replies to ALL of your texts in your groupchat. replies with hearts, texts of his own (that no one asked for), or by saying something like “this was funny hahaha take me back pls🙏🏼”

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who is a hugger. OH, HE’S A HUGGER, ALRIGHT. everytime you meet up, everytime you leave, he clings on like he’s a koala with trust issues. full-on arms around your waist, chin on your shoulder type of hug. he sighs and smiles like he belongs there.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who will turn to you, casual stare, lips puckered at you like he’s just expecting a kiss. you shove him off, rolling your eyes and hiding the beginnings of a smile.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who brings you flowers every time he comes over. even if it’s a group hangout at your place, if he showed up unannounced, or if you called him because you were crying or lonely. wax paper-wrapped bouquet hand-picked by some florist who was under the impression that he was picking that up for his girlfriend.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who remembers everything about you. everything. the cologne he wore that you always complimented, your favorite movie, color, food, songs, all of it.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who will drop everything if you ask. he’ll literally leave work early if you text him you’re not having a good day. you call him at 2AM? he’s out of bed and starting his ignition right then and there.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who is so annoying when your friend group goes out to eat. he plops himself down in the seat next to you without asking. he slides his drink towards you to try first. tells the waiter when they got something wrong with your order before you even have the chance to do it first.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who still has you saved in his contacts as “wifey 🤍”. you broke up 6 months ago.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook whose friends go “give it a rest, bro.” to which he replies, “what? we’re friends 😊” while literally staring at you like you harnessed the moon from the sky.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who shows off when you’re around. he flexes his arms with his tongue poking at his cheek, wiggling his eyebrows like he knows you’re secretly ogling.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who texts you the literal minute after you leave the hangout. “you get home safe?” “miss you” “had fun. u looked beautiful as always”

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who still drinks out of your cup, borrows your lip balm, offering you a bite of his food and taking one right where you just bit.

ᰔ exboyfriend!jungkook who steals and wears your hair ties around his wrist everytime he comes over.

lulu speaks pt2: thank u anon!! he’s soo annoyinggggg omggggg 😘🥰😛 stawp he’s weirddd☺️😘🥰🥰ughhh you just can’t shake him offff🤪🤪😝🥰🤪😍😜😘😛

Reader is a backup dancer for Doechii and performs at the Grammy’s. Billie is such a proud girlfriend and cheers the loudest for her woman while she’s living her dream 🥹🥰🫶🏾

Grammy performance

warnings: billiexfem!reader, fluff

a/n: yay okie, i loved this request. this was fun to write. also, it was nice having to watch the performance again. i love promts that require me to study a performance or an interview etc. so cutesy. love y’all, enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The audience around you is bustling. The arena, full to the brim of A-listers is loud with chatter. Everyone is applauding for the performance just gone. You are standing between two people: a fellow backup dancer and your wonderful girlfriend.

 

You’re dressed from head to toe in Thom Browne, all 50 of you dressed in the same manner. Hard to tell one from the other. That’s why when you creep up on Billie, whistling in her ear, she lets out a loud “Oh my god!” Her face is full of surprise, she didn’t know anyone was there. But then a sense of relief, even excitement, comes over her when she recognizes you.

 

Head in the game, you don’t look at her. Keeping in character, knowing this performance is the most important of your career yet. But you hear her. You smile inside at her supportive comments. Doechii appears on stage, pulling focus from those of you in the audience. Billie’s eyes never leave yours, though. She follows you as you race, ducked down, and up the steps onto the stage.

 

Waiting at the side for your turn, you watch as Doechii and the others perform the first song. Keeping count in your head – making sure you don’t get lost in the music. You watch as your friends create formations underneath Doechii— contemporary shapes to match the style of the performance.

 

Now, it’s your turn to walk onto the stage as Doechii’s platform lowers to the ground. You line up amongst the others and help Doechii off the platform. She takes your hand and steps off, indicating for you to snap into the next bit of choreography. You face the audience as you shimmy forward—just a line of you and five or so other girls. You feel the nerves and excitement coursing through you. You know everyone, both in the arena and globally, is watching you right now.

 

You position yourself onto the moving conveyor belts, laser-focused not to fall, and you spot Billie in the front row filming you. Smiling internally, you continue your choreography with your partner. Serving the most face you can muster up, knowing Billie will be posting her videos of you later on.

 

Moments pass, your mind swept up in the moment, and you hear the crowd erupt into cheers. Now you know that Doechii’s costume change went successfully behind you. You race to the back of the stage, assembling yourself among your peers for the group choreography before your quick exit to the side stage for Doechii’s solo moment.

 

As you stand there on the prop, you have a moment to look around you. First, you spot Finneas’ ginger bob moving with the music. You take note of that – waiting to tease him later on about it. But next to him, Billie stands, looking at you and clapping. Her eyes speak to you as she mouths “you got it”. You send her a quick, tight smile. Not enough for anyone else to notice, but enough for your lover to know.

 

You come back on after catching your breath, ready to perform a big trick with Doechii. She’ll be using yourself and others as stairs and then seemingly floating in the air. Shit. This is the one that kept going wrong in rehearsals. You feel your heart rate picking up but vow to keep your cool, just like you promised Billie a mere hour ago.

 

The trick works successfully, and the performance is finally coming to an end, just a bit of group choreography left. But nothing major, only about ten seconds pass before Doechii is the only one left standing on stage, and it’s finally over.

 

** cut to half an hour later **

 

As you walk back out into the audience, freshly changed, you spot your loving girlfriend’s head peering around the room – evidently looking for you. So you pick up your pace from the side doors and rush over to her. Surprising her from the back, you throw your arms over her shoulders in a big hug from behind. She wriggles in your arms to turn around as she yells into your ear, “Oh my god! Baby! It was so good!” You can feel the smile on her face.

 

“Thank you, baby,” you cheese back, your face smooshed in her neck. Billie pulls back from your embrace and says, “I filmed the whole thing, I felt like my mom,” she laughs.

 

“Bil, there was nothing but cameras on me. I don’t think you needed to film that,” you giggle. Playing it cool, but touched by her actions. “Yeah, I know, but I wanted it for myself. No one else got my point of view,” Billie reasons with you.

 

You feel a hand on your shoulder and turn to see who it’s coming from. Finneas and Claudia are standing there, arms wide, ready to embrace you.

 

“y/n, that was amazing. I’m honestly gobsmacked!” Claudia says, pulling you in. “So you thought I was shit before? Is that what you’re saying?” you tease her. She lightly slaps your arm with a ‘come on, you know what I meant’ look on her face. Your eyes avert to Finneas now, ���hey, Finch, I was up there, and the only thing I could make out was your bob rocking in time to the music. No joke,” you tease him, “I wish I could play back what I saw from the stage.” He just cackles at your joke - used to being teased by you by now.

 

As you chat with them two, you feel two arms snake around your waist from the side. Billie holds you tightly as you continue a casual conversation with those around you. You lean your head on hers when it isn’t your turn to speak.

 

“Hey, y/n?” she whispers up to you. “Yeah, love?”

 

“I’m so so proud and happy for you. I know this is huge for you, and it was so good. Really major.”

 

You smile, wanting to cry - partly from the relief, and partly because you’re so in love – and tell her “Thank you.” Leaning in for a kiss, as Claudia awws and Finneas wretches.

 

“Yeah, ‘cause you never do that,” Billie snarks back at Finneas. He simply laughs at her as you all fall into a comfortable silence amongst the loud chatter of the room.

 

“So… when can we meet her?” Billie yells, loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

 

“I don’t know, Bil. You’re the one who’s Billie Eilish. Why are you asking me?” you laugh, affectionately shoving her body away from yours.

YELENA BELOVA’s birthday with the THUNDERBOLTS headcannons .𖥔 ݁ ˖ ϟ ⚡︎

(or the new avengerz)

all photos are from Pinterest !!

i wrote this during class 😀😀

before Yelena joined the thunderbolts, she spent her most of her birthdays probably drinking

might get herself a cupcake and then call Natasha ☹️

BUT THEN SHE JOINED THE THUNDERBOLTSSSSSSSS

Ava, bob and Alexei wanted to do something special

Alexei seems like the type of guy to go all out on birthdays

he decroated the entire living room with balloons and banners

[ BEST GOALIE OF THE WEST CHESAPEAKE VALLEY THUNDERBOLTS]

he stormed into her room singing at 7am with breakfast he made in hand

“LENA ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY WHY ARE YOU STILL IN BED”

“dad im gonna kill you”

the breakfast was ok tho, not the most delicious but it’s the thought that counts

Yelena couldn’t stop smiling the entire time (awhhhshdhhsshsjsj 🥺🥺🥺)

yes this was in fact another time Alexei set three towels on fire

Ava had the idea of surprising her with everyone wearing Yelena’s signature eyeliner

Bob and Alexei thought it was a great idea

John and Bucky were harder to convince tho

I think Bucky would agree to it if they beg long enough

would still sigh and grunt the entire time (possibly add an eye roll in there)

no but like imagine applying eyeliner on Bucky while sitting on his lap and his arms are wrapped around your waist with his greyish blue eyes looking into yours and he’s slightly smirking up at you-

ANYWAYS 😁😁😁😁 (I volunteer as tribute 🙋‍♀️)

Ava ended up applying it on John while he was taking a nap on the couch, newspaper on his lap and everything

she may or may not have also drawn a cartoon penis on his cheek

and possibly cat whiskers as well

midday however they got called on a mission

this was when thunderbolts started trending on twitter for looking like they either just walked out of an Avril Lavigne music video or haven’t slept in 4 months

YELENA LOVED IT THO(that’s the only important part)

everyone knows yelena loves mac’n cheese

John had an idea to make a Mac’n cheese cake with bob’s help (cuz i firmly believe that bob can cook amazing Mac’n cheese 🤞)

Bob kept telling him it won’t work

but of course John wouldn’t listen

“walker it’s just gonna come out like sludge”

“no bobby you gotta trust me if you bake it it’ll come together i swear”

it came out like Mac’n cheese pie

but the kitchen smelled like Yelena’s heaven

which she greatly, greatly appreciated

“what is thiss😋” AND HER LIL YELENA SMILE AWHHHH

they did end up getting her an actual cake tho

a confetti cake 🥰

however the best part of her birthday didn’t come until later

Yelena was told they had another mission

but when Bob came on the jet too she was like 🤨

“why are you coming with us Bob 🤨”

“well i uh-“ “emotional support😁”- ava

guess where they went

OHIO BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE WEST CHESAPEAKE VALLEY THUNDERBOLTS TRAINEDDD

there were already kids playing there

but they new avengerz being the cheeky lil bitches they are joined 🥰

they totally cheated btw

some kids were on Bucky and John’s back screaming

Alexei was yelling out instructions but no one listened 😔

“NO BOB MY LEFT NOT YOUR LEFT”

Bob was trying his best ok ☹️ we love you for that Bob <3

ava started phasing around to scare the kids

it actually worked and some kid ended up crying

and Yelena was on the ground cackling the entire time

when they went back to the tower they were covered in dirt and mud

convinced that Yelena drew a happy face on John’s back with the mud and everyone was laughing while John’s all like “what are you guys laughing about 🤨😔”

damn idk why people keep drawing things on John in this post

that night when it was time to cut the cake

and everyone was singing happy birthday

John was trying to sing in tune , Bucky looked so done (but he was enjoyed the moment :), Bob was singing along shyly, Ava was clapping while singing and Alexei was the loudest one

after they finished alexei threw yelena up in his air and did the cliche “MY BABY DAUGHTERS ALL GROWN UP☹️🥺”

before they went to bed Alexei told stories of Yelena’s childhood

stuff like her at football training and lil moments with Nat 🥰

she was constantly trying to stop him but the others were laughing so hard

Bob actually fell off his chair

“I didn’t expect you were the type to actually throw a rock at the other teams coach”-walker

“I WAS LIKE 5”

and when yelena went to bed that night

even though she was exhausted and slightly annoyed,

she finally felt like she was home

Codywan Hockey AU

(This is gonna be a long post, sorry)

Inspired by the hockey brainrot that has consumed me this playoff series <3

What You Need To Know™️:

Obi-Wan is the main goalie for the Jedi Knights. His number is #11 because that's how many limbs he removed in canon 🥰🥰

Cody is a forward and the Captain of the Ghosts. He's number #21, because 212 is too many digits

Codywan have been married for Several Years despite having not played on the same team since college. You can see Cody's ring in one of the drawings above :) Everyone loves and hates when their teams play each other because these boys might be disgustingly in love but they're even more ridiculously competitive, and they are obnoxious.

Everyone is also aware that at best there is heavy metaphor to Cody putting pucks in his husband's net. At worst they are actively competing to determine who's topping tonight. (Something something catching-v-pitching)

One of Obi-Wan's pet names for Cody is honeybee. This began as light teasing re: his uniform but has become progressively more sappy and genuine. It's one of their favorites around their teammates because it always makes everyone gag and they think it's funny as hell <3

Cody wants to make damn sure no-one forgets that he's Māori, which is why he's rocking the luxurious locks and tattoos. (Yes, this is what that poll was for, and thank you to my bestie @meebles for the suggestion of including some traditional ink <3)

Anakin is sir-not-pictured-here but I like to think that he crashed out and burned his career down in this AU when one of the Knights was injured during a playoff run and he wasn't called up from the affiliate/minor league team <3

Close-Ups under the cut <3

[elstargreen]

Hi everyone, how are you? I hope you're having a nice day! 🥰 I don't usually do this type of post because I basically believe I never have anything interesting to say and because after work my brain is only one neuron pfff But it has been brought to my attention that my recent post may have been misinterpreted... because of the writing on the t-shirt of our intrepid heroes. I didn't think I had to specify this, but it is OBVIOUSLY a joke, an idea born from a nice conversation with a friend of mine. It was never intended as something 'real', I would never do something like that, this is all a loving joke. I get ideas for mini comics at the most random moments and I have a childish sense of humor mixed with the macabre that can make the result ambivalent 😅 Obviously I am aware that what I do may not please everyone, that's life!

So here's another warning that I think is necessary You don't like what I do? You can either ignore me or use the awesome 'block' feature that Tumblr offers! Will I continue to do what I do? Of course, there's so much in my head that you have no idea, prepare for the worst ✨

Well now I'm going back to my nest to recharge my batteries because I'm an old lady with tired bones ~

I wish you all a good day wherever you are!❤️❤️🥰

Ps. This has inspired a new t-shirt!

The Special Episode of Business as Usual is Sunshine in my Pocket

I did not know a special episode could bring me this much joy, and I will now be adding it to my "rainy day" watchlist.

Because their relationship isn't "perfect", but it's "perfect for them". And we got to SEE it. The special was full-on boyfriends era and being domestic together.

As I said in my post that became a novel, they will fight. Min Jun is going to emotionally react, and Jin Hwan has to be able to handle that for the relationship to work. I said in a comment that if I removed my "play nice" filters, I would call Min Jun a "clingy, insecure boyfriend who gets mad and pitches a fit". In symbolic terms, I see him as a cat whose claws emerge almost instinctually. In more formal terms, he's emotionally reactive.

So I loved that we got Min Jun admitting that he pitches hissy fits.

And Jin Hwan confirming that he is aware of his man's personality and can handle it.

But I especially loved that we went EVEN further to see that they're working to bridge the differences between them.

Jin Hwan clearly communicates that, even if he understands, it's still hurtful.

And Min Jun not only took the step to reach out first following their spat, but he finally APOLOGIZED for something.

And promised to continue working on things.

It's confirmed that Min Jun still has fears. He fears the end. That's always going to be a part of his personality.

But he's committed to fighting for this relationship despite the fears, and that matters.

He can't always convince himself that their relationship will be okay in the long run. But he CAN convince himself that he doesn't want it to end. They are both committed to each other and working through their issues.

I love that we see how their relationship has continued to develop over the past year.

They're still enjoying the beautiful views at "their place".

But they're expanding their adventures to beautiful new places too.

Honoring their past while building a future.

But beyond seeing their domestic era (🥰) and our men continuing to sing the song lyrics, the episode decided to speak my language in other ways.

They continued the cat references.

Confirming (in my mind at least) that Min Jun is indeed a cat as I explained in my way too long post 😅, and as he told us himself in his lyrics in episode 1.

Really, it should not have taken me as long to come to that conclusion. Because the one detail that has been consistent throughout the show is that their lyrics represent their feelings.

They color-coded!

When they went on their date, they embraced the colors of their cat plushies.

Which made the fact that Jin Hwan captured the pink plushie first even more meaningful. After all, he was the one convinced this relationship could work first. And it took him a long time to capture the blue plushie. But they're both now caught. They're a pair.

We have food symbolism (and innuendos).

I'm a sucker for food symbolism. In the past, we saw them enjoy a simple meal together. There were two bowls. Min Jun had the sausage. Jin Hwan is the one who bought it.

For their anniversary meal, they are still enjoying these simple things together. But now there is one bowl. They both get a bite of the sausage. And Min Jun is the one who bought it.

They're sharing, working together and Min Jun is giving to Jin Hwan in the same way Jin Hwan gave to him. I love it so much.

Of course, they've grown up so they've added some "adult" things to the meal too. Like salad (they're being healthy!) and wine (how romantic).

Plus, they're still enjoying a different kind of "sausage'.

And just like they were working together in the kitchen, we now have two way energy flow. We have lots of smiling and teasing each other to demonstrate that they may have their tiffs, but they'll really enjoy each other's company in the times between.

In summary - they are happy, and I am happy. Win-win.

omega fox Stephen alpha dragon Tony

Prompt: To no surprise please can we have some more Omega fox Stephen, Alpha dragon Tony? I have loved everything so far and I’d love to have Tony and Stephen meet in person. Totally open to you choosing when. 🥰🥳🤩✨

@auntynessi I got the notification for this one, but not the Ask, hence posting like this instead of as an answer.

It took me a minute to figure out what should come next for this one, and then I thought, this is a series with shapeshifting in it, and we’ve had hardly any shapeshifting! So here’s some of that. And, you know, them meeting in person again. 😀 This being a mini-series, I’m skipping over a whole bunch of phone calls.

Previous parts are here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4654960

Uh, this got really long. World building got me! Behind a cut for that reason.

-

Tony was going to be in New York, and Stephen had arranged to have three days off in a row.

The thought felt somehow alien: Tony was going to be in New York, and Stephen had arranged to have three days off in a row. Stephen had never ‘arranged’ his days off before. He received them, of course, but he’d always left that to the hospital’s discretion, because there was very little he’d prefer to do over work. Even when he was dating Christine, he’d never arranged days off. But then, Christine was also a doctor and had understood his schedule. It made sense that it would be different with Tony. It was a perfectly normal thing to do.

Still, it was a relief when his building’s reception rang up to let him know that his guest had arrived. Now that Tony was here, Stephen could stop thinking about arranging his schedule around Tony’s trip. It was a business trip, of course. He wasn’t coming solely to see Stephen. But after three months of regular phone calls, it had felt natural to say, Well, if you’re going to be in town, maybe I can make my days off line up.

Stephen’s front door swung open without a knock and Tony called out, “Honey, I’m home!” as he stepped inside.

Startled into a laugh, Stephen turned and found Tony grinning at him. “This isn’t home,” Stephen said.

“Sure, but everyone at home is sick of the joke,” Tony said, shutting the door behind him. 

Since ‘everyone at home’ consisted of JARVIS, DUM-E, and U, Stephen doubted that. Well, maybe JARVIS, but from what he’d heard, he was reasonably sure the bots would enjoy the same joke an infinite number of times. Still, a fresh audience was always fun. “Welcome, regardless.”

Tony wandered around the apartment while they found their way into their usual conversational rhythm, only slightly altered by being in person rather than over the phone. As he explored, Tony ran his fingertips over the furniture and picked up journals, knick knacks, and papers Stephen had left out, examining them idly. When he reached for a patient file Stephen had brought home, Stephen reached out and caught his hand.

They both froze as a partial change rippled over them. Stephen could feel his fox ears twitch. “Patient confidentiality,” he explained after a moment. 

Tony nodded, but when Stephen would have let go, Tony turned his hand and caught him. “I’d almost forgotten how strongly we react to each other.”

Stephen hadn’t. But then, Tony had been through a lot more in the intervening time. “When was your last full shift?” he asked. Recent full shifts made a person more reactive.

“Years,” Tony said. A distressed noise slipped out of Stephen. Tony smiled wryly. “I know. But… dragon. There aren’t a lot of opportunities. And now I’m not even sure I can.”

“Why not?” There weren’t many things that could prevent a shift.

“Afghanistan,” Stark said. “I’m carrying around some shrapnel. And there’s an… implant. I’m not sure how a shift would affect those.”

Stephen frowned. Tony’s doctor should have explained this. “It wouldn’t,” he said. “Shifts may be physical, but they aren’t biological. Your shifted body is not analogous to your human body. Body piercings are the obvious example, but studies have been done on everything from pins and plates to pacemakers and organ transplants. When you shift, none of the damage to your human body carries over, and when you’re injured in shifted form, none of that damage carries over, either.”

Tony looked stricken. “So if I’d shifted in Afghanistan—”

“No,” Stephen broke in quickly. “You couldn’t have shifted then. Not because the trauma would have carried over, but because you wouldn’t have been strong enough to complete the shift. Studies have been done on that, too.”

“I wondered,” Tony said, swallowing hard. “If I’d shifted, if I could have escaped sooner. If—” He stopped. They didn’t talk about the kidnapping.

“Dragons aren’t immune to bullets,” Stephen said quietly. 

Tony nodded, then looked away. 

“Would you like to change?” Stephen asked carefully. It wasn’t good to go so long without a full shift. Normally one would only change in the presence of close family, or a lover, but who did Tony have to share that with? As reactive as they were to each other, it seemed… appropriate.

Tony thought about it for a long time, but the longer he thought, the more certain Stephen became that he’d say yes. Eventually, Tony nodded. “We’ll have to move your furniture.”

The living room was large, but so was a dragon shift. They pushed the furniture out of the way, using the couch as a shield for the piano. Stephen drew the curtains across the windows and kept his back to the room as Tony shifted. When a snort blasted hot air across his back, Stephen turned.

Even curled up, Tony’s dragon form filled the living room. Fortunately, he seemed comfortable, rather than squashed. He was a dark, gleaming bronze color, with a lighter, almost burnished gold belly and highlights around his eyes and the edges of his folded wings. He took Stephen’s breath away.

Another hot snort of breath ruffled Stephen’s clothing. Your turn, it implied. “Close your eyes.” Tony rolled them first, but he closed them.

Stephen’s own shift was quick and easy; he changed often. When he was settled in fox form, he scrambled over Tony’s folded forelegs and the end of his tail into the hollow made by the dragon’s body. Tony curved his neck a little more so that he could look at Stephen, who barked softly before laying down and wrapping his tail around himself.

Tony snorted again before settling, his eyelids drooping almost shut. Not to sleep, Stephen knew, but to rest. Resting was different when shifted. Deeper. More fundamental. Tony hadn’t rested in a very long time, but he could, here in Stephen’s den.

[spirk-fic-recs]

Hi! This one might be a bit of a long shot, but I've had no luck so far despite both asking around and putting a hell of a lot of time into it, so I figured I'd see if you know what I'm looking for!

Just about the only thing I remember is this: Before Kirk became Captain, Spock was largely antisocial. He had no real friends or confidants. When Kirk joined the Enterprise, however, he puts effort into befriending Spock, and, to the shock of the crew, Spock responds well to this, becoming very nearly talkative once it becomes clear to him that Kirk is genuinely interested in what he has to say. I believe Uhura is the POV character for some of this, and she muses that she feels guilty that she never realized that Spock wasn't antisocial entirely by choice.

I think it was probably TOS (though it's always a toss up whether things are tagged properly), and it was probably decently short (under 14K), but neither of those are guarantees. It would have been complete, though.

(If you don't know the fic off the top of your head, don't feel too obligated to go searching - I've done a fair amount of that myself (and haven't given up yet), but frankly I am starting to worry that it's just been deleted since I first read it 😅 so, uh. no need to trouble yourself overmuch!)

Hey @a-most-beloved-fool! Unfortunately this doesn't ring any bells for me, but I'd still like to give you some wholesome recs with Uhura's POV as well as her friendship with Mr. Spock /Jim 🥰 For anybody that knows which fic our friend is talking about, feel free to reply to this post so that we may locate it:) Uhura POV / Spirk-Uhura friendship fics:

Jim and Nyota's Guide to Friendship (TOS, 11382 words) by Solid_Medical_Advice

A collection of little stories in which Kirk and Uhura look after each other and love each other. These two are my absolute favourite platonic pairing, and I don't see enough friendship rep between these two! Some of the stories are episode- and movie-related, others are just silly thoughts I had. Updates as I come up with them.

Yellow Roses for Her, Orange Roses for Jim (AOS, 13978 words) by Misscar

How do you survive your break up when you must live and work with your ex? How do you move on to someone else without wrecking two very important friendships? Valentine's Day 2259 will be entertaining. This is a different type of love story. A Valentine's Day story for the rest of us.

Girl’s night (TOS, 4512 words) by T_Bar

Spock could not remember just when did he and Uhura become such good friends, nor could he recall when did she first invite him to spend the evening together watching ‘cheesy’ rom-coms from the twenty first century while she did his nails. He did however remember that tonight, they had yet again scheduled their “girl’s night”.

not my type (AOS, 7469 words) by soetry

Nyota now feels ridiculous for thinking that Commander The-Only-Reason-I-Don't-Always-Get-My-Way-Is-Because-I-Believe-In-Federation-Law Spock would ever actually let something go.

My absolute favorite. pure crack

Intemperate Hearts (AOS, 4077 words) by ByCandlelight

How could Spock be lonely?

Strange Spectacle (TOS, 12585 words) by batwonder

It is a well known fact across all known galaxies that Vulcans are a very private people. Be it in culture, civilian life… in all aspects of their lives, they keep to themselves. They do not encourage emotion or public displays of affection. Even the vulcans that are allowed to be more intimate, such as married couples, only seem to “touch their hands”, and nothing else. This is why, when James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise, publicly stated that he was in a serious relationship with his Vulcan first-officer, people were… stunned, to say the least.

In this fic, Uhura makes an appearance in Ch. 2 hehe

Happy reading!

#19: whispering to them like they’re alone in the world

My brother and I were walking backstage of WrestleMania, the belt in my hand with a firm grip.

I was looking all over for her, but I couldn't see her.

I knew she was probably giving me time to just celebrate with my brothers, standing off in the corner, waiting for me to find her.

Trinity saw me looking around, and she just pointed over her right shoulder, and I looked behind her, and there she was, standing there, with a massive smile on her face.

I walked through the small crowd that had gathered around me, my focus solely on her and her alone.

As soon as I was standing in front of her, I pulled her into my arms, burying my face into her neck.

She was whispering to me, telling me how proud she was of me. Her one hand rubbing my back as the other one gripped the back of my head, threading her fingers in my hair.

"You did it, Joshua." She proudly said to me, as I pulled back just to look into her eyes.

At that moment, it was like everyone faded around us as we stared into each other's eyes.

"No we did baby. I could not have made it this far without your love and support throughout these years." I said just before as I leaned in to kiss her.

We became so wrapped up in one another, that I didn't hear my brothers making lewd comments.

All I did was give them the finger behind my back, forcing them to laugh at us, but I just ignored them as nothing was going to ruin this moment between her and I.

It was just us at this moment, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

SCREAM!!! 🥹 My Sanjeepers!!! 💕💞💓💗

This had to have it's own post because I got so much to say LOLL OK!!! SO!! 🥸

🫀 We're walking around and I see THIS particular Sanji just standing there posing as people take pics and I'm like ?? where's his bodyguard like he's literally just floating around the park all on his lonesome?? so I snap my own pic and as he's walking away I go "I love you Sanjeeps!" (if I really love a character i just say their name differently) and he falls to his knees clutching a lightpole and yells that he loves me too and I'm OVER THE MOON 🥰🥰 cause it feels very in character LOL and I'm just damn!! 🥲 I wanna see more of him!!

🪼 We walk around some more and I tell Keii i really wanna take a pic with a One Piece character esp THAT Sanji so we walk back around and the Sanji and Usopp that we want aren't out smh it's some other people! 🙃 And I won't say they looked bad? It's just that the other guys playing Sanji and Usopp looked BETTER! But whatever we stand in line anyway cause at the end of the day we want a pic!

🫎 The line is long and we're chitchatting and suddenly we see people just crowd around some characters that were coming this way?? First it's Zoro and Nami and we're just "meh" cause we ain't in that line and then I'm like WAIT are they switching out!? 👁️ Maybe our Sanji and Usopp will come back?? AND SURE ENOUGH THEY DOOOO I was literally jumping up and down going "are they walking this way are they walking this way??" 💃🕺 CAUSE THAT'S THE SANJI I WANTED!!

👘 They trade places and MY HEART!! I have been cold this entire trip and that was the first time that ENTIRE night that I didn't even notice I was cold because I was too busy laughing n giggling about the fact that I would NOW get to take the photo with the Sanji that I WANTED! 🥰 And Keii with the Usopp that she wanted!!

🛝 Except everyone infront of us was taking 99yrs.. 🙄you woulda thought they were meeting THE Sanji and Usopp with the way these people were lingering about 😤 smh so here I am checking the time cause now we've been in line for a MINUTE and I know the switch off is gonna be soon and I am nervousss cause I'm so close and yet so far!? 😖 And the group infront of us.. I coulda screamed there were like 12 of em and they ALL wanted individual photos and THEN they wanted group photos and.. yeah I was sweating LOL I had Keii all nervous too I felt so bad! 😅 But I needed THAT one! I even asked the staff member guy watching over them and he said they were switching in 5 minutes.. and we still had folks infront of us.. oh hamburgers. 🙃

🎒 We finally get up there like WE ARE THE NEXT ONES IN LINE and the guy is checking his watch and i go over to him again and I say "can we please be their last group? 🥹" and he looks at me as if he's thinking it over and then he says "ok" WOOHOOO LOLLL then its our turn and remember when I was like "man you woulda thought they were meeting THE Sanji and Usopp with the way they were acting smh🙄" yeah that was me once I got up there HAHAHA ALLLL SMILES!!

HE'S ALL LEGS HE'S LIKE SAILOR MOON!

💋 Sanji is so touchy too like kept gripping my hands and hugging me and tbh I can't remember half the shit he even said because I was too busy just being happy that I got a pic with the Sanji I wanted LOL 💞 then I got to hug and speak to Usopp at the tail end and the guy did a really good job replicating his voice?? It sounded just like dubbed Usopp! And he looked AMAZING I mean just LOOK AT USOPP!! I was so blown away just stunning!

Keii and I walked away smiling n giggling. Just riding the wave of being able to be silly with some of our fav One Piece characters. If even for a moment. 💗

user11 Poor Lando, he’s going to get demolished

user12 I’m excited to see this pairing!

user13 They’re complete opposites, it will be funny to see how this works out 😅

When Oscar didn’t think you were paying attention, he loved to tuck a strand of your hair behind your ears. You had a bad habit of having loose curls flying around, which is why you straightened your hair to an inch of its life almost every day. Oscar had been pestering you about this habit of yours for weeks now, bribing you with sweets and threatening to steal the iron. He said that your bright red hair reminded him of blood, of the invisible bond the two of you shared. You waved him off, calling him creepy, but secretly? You found it kind of poetic.

We’ve known each other since we were six. When would I lie to you? If your hair looked bad, I’d tell you.

You hated letting him win. The few arguments the two of you had never been resolved by direct confrontations. For Oscar, it was a nightmare: he was an introvert, through and through. Even if you were angry, it didn’t mean you were going to cross his boundaries. Instead, your arguments had been settled like icebreakers. A silly joke cracked by either one of you, and the tension dissolved. Neither one of you had ever conceded, but maybe it would be worth it this time.

Because Oscar Piastri, your best mate since childhood, had reached his insurmountable dream of entering Formula 1. He had signed with McLaren – a mid level team, but one with massive potential. The one thing that he could never stop talking about and spent ages fighting for, had finally happened. 

So, yeah. You were willing to make some sacrifices to make Oscar happy. Never let it be said you didn’t do anything for him.

When you had found out, the notification from the official Formula 1 Instagram page appearing on your phone, you had screamed so loudly your mother had rushed into your bedroom, clutching her heart like she’d suffered a heart attack. “OSCAR MADE IT INTO FORMULA ONE!” you shrieked, tears flowing down your face. You were deliriously overwhelmed.

“Oh my God, I thought somebody killed you!” Your mum had scolded you. “Tell Oscar I said congratulations. That’s amazing. But don’t do that again to me, you understand, Y/N?”

You nodded, immediately going to the text chain for Oscar and typing up a series of messages to him. It was incredible how fast the trajectory of someone’s life could change for the better. 

In the blink of an eye, your best friend was suddenly thrust into the public sphere. Now, he wasn’t just yours to admire, to love, to keep. He was everyone’s.

And suddenly, his newfound fame didn’t seem so wonderful anymore.

In the twenty years that spanned your life, you never believed that you would fall for the “sexy” British accent trap. Lots of the girls in your year – when you were at school – adored it, swooning over actors’ voices in the cinema, but personally? It wasn’t something you were fond of. You rather liked Oscar’s Australian accent: clipped, quiet. Familiar.

But then you met Lando Norris.

You were at McLaren Headquarters in Woking, touring alongside Oscar. You hadn’t asked to join him – your company and consoling presence was just an unspoken rule, especially when Oscar was forced out of his comfort zone. The building and grounds were sprawling, with a sleek modern design and blinding white lights. The raw power and the faded glory emanating from within disoriented you. You couldn’t believe that you were here, walking through halls haunted by the memories of legends.

The Brit was two years older, and a veteran in Formula 1. He was waiting for the three of you in a meeting room, and didn’t wait for the tour guide (a young woman named Shelley) to introduce himself. Lando was cocky and sure of himself, cracking jokes like it paid the bills. He was the complete opposite of Oscar, and typically, you avoided men who were outgoing. 

Yet. . . something about Lando lured you in.

When Oscar was in the garage, getting to know the pit crew, you stayed behind, telling him you were tired – which was the truth. Lando waited with you, pretending like he was relaxing, scrolling through his Instagram feed.

“So. . .” he finally said, looking up from the glowing screen. “Can you believe it?”

You shrugged, as casually as you could muster. “Not really, no.”

“I’m sure Oscar is thrilled,” Lando continued. You could tell he was pushing for details, eager to know more details about his new teammate. Oscar hadn’t revealed many things about himself, one of the many reasons why you were so loyal to him. He would die before telling anyone else the secrets you told him.

You looked down at your hands, unsure of what to respond. Lando was being nice, but you felt like there was something else he wanted to know. You decided to be courteous, in case your gut was overanalyzing the situation. It did have the tendency to do that. “Yeah. In his own way.”

Lando cocked his head, searching your face for clues. “Not a very emotional guy?”

“He is, but only when he gets to know the other person. It takes time.” You swallowed, plastering on a bright smile. “He’ll warm up to you, don’t worry.”

“OK.” Lando hummed appreciatively. “Turn up the charm. I can do that.”

You chuckled, imagining Oscar’s reaction to Lando’s nearly insufferable charisma. It would be absolutely hilarious to witness it. Poor Osc.“Mhm. Good luck.”

“Thanks!” Lando grinned, obviously not detecting the sarcasm lacing your words. Then, in a serious tone, he questioned, “Could I potentially. . . have your number? I understand if not.”

“Of course,” you answered, after a beat. “Here’s my phone. You can put in your contact details here.”

A few moments later, Oscar returned to the meeting room, immediately standing by your side like a protective guard dog. You could feel the tension radiating from him, as if he were aware that you’d given Lando your cell number. “How was everything?” you asked, twisting around to look at him.

“Great,” he said, staring at Lando with a shrewd expression. “Ready to go?”

You nodded, rising from your seat. “Just about.”

“Thanks for tagging along,” Oscar said calmly, but you saw something flicker in his eyes. Was it jealousy? 

You had no idea, but you were sure that it was a matter of time. Not even Oscar could keep his cards hidden for too long.

oscarpiastri replied to the Snap

Interesting song choice 🤔

You had never kept a secret before from Oscar. It wasn’t something the two of you did. You knew each other like the back of your hand, and sometimes, you really did question whether he was psychic, so there was no point to it.

Except. . . now you were hiding the biggest bombshell ever from him. OK, maybe not the largest scandal ever, but it would hurt Oscar when he found out. Which is why you were sure to act as normally as possible, so he couldn’t sniff it out.

Because you were talking to Lando Norris, his teammate, behind his back.

And you were falling for him. Hard.

He was witty. Smarter than you’d first thought, with a tongue that could send heat sparking through your skin with only a few words. So what if he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the bunch when it came to geography or maths? Lando had a sweet, genuine soul.

He resembled Oscar in that way – trying to conceal the vulnerability that you admired so much. Everyone thought that F1 drivers had an ego, believing they were invincible. Lando disputed that, whole-heartedly, and you adored him for it.

Meanwhile, Oscar was extremely hostile to Lando. You had never seen him so distraught before, resisting cordiality despite all your efforts. It gave you an extra reason to be guarded; if he found out, there was no doubt that he would seek revenge on the track.

You couldn’t risk it.

Especially since you knew – if it came down to it – you could not choose between the two of them.

user18 Awesome start to the season!

It had been six months since you had met Lando Norris for the first time. Six months, you had been harboring a crush on Oscar’s teammate.

Six months, and you still hadn’t told Oscar.

Your heart was torn in two; part of you wanted to stay loyal to Oscar. You’d known him for ages, and you felt like dating his teammate was a betrayal.

After you confided in your mum, she had gotten so frustrated with the situation that she forbade you from talking about it anymore.

“Either do something, or don’t complain,” she said, throwing her hands up in the air.

But was more complicated than it seemed.

Because the memory of that December night was still imprinted in your mind, as if it had only transpired mere days ago. Your family had gone on a trip with Oscar’s, heading to Byron Bay for a nice summer getaway. It was almost ten p.m., and you wouldn’t have been able to see anything, if it hadn’t been for the bonfire Oscar had set up. It crackled merrily, illuminating the dark stretch of sand you were lounging on.

You were talking to Oscar, mindlessly passing the time, waiting until your parents shooed you off to bed. And then, without any warning, Oscar had kissed you, cutting you off in the middle of your sentence. You couldn’t remember now what you were talking about. The only thing your brain could comprehend was Oscar’s lips on yours. He was chaste, gentle, but when you pulled yourself closer to him, he had deepened it, ferociously clinging to you like you were his saving grace.

Oscar didn’t mention it ever again, and sometimes, you truly believed you had imagined it.

Now, three years later, you waited outside of Oscar’s driver’s room, still unsure of where you stood with him.

And you weren’t sure you’d ever know.

f1gossip Rumors are making the rounds that McLaren driver Lando Norris is dating Y/N L/N — yes, Oscar Piastri’s childhood best friend! What’s the verdict? Could there be some truth to this?

You tapped your foot impatiently. “You heard me. I want to tell Oscar that we’ve been. . .You know. Talking.”

“And we’re suddenly not worried he’s going to kill me on track?”

You bit your lip. “I hate keeping secrets.”

Lando huffed, irritated. “But you don’t care that I could die?”

With an aggrieved sigh, you looked at Lando, silently imploring him to just shut up and go along with your plan. The plan that you’d quickly assembled after caving to the immense pressure of the secret you were keeping from Oscar. “Please don’t be dramatic.”

“It’s hard not to be! He’s terrifying! Like a silent serial killer. Do you have it out for me?” Lando followed you as you headed to the kitchen, brewing yourself a cup of mint tea to soothe your stomach. “Are you being serious?”

“He’s going to be here any minute now,” you murmured under your breath. “So. . .It’s a bit too late to back out now.”

Lando gasped. “Any minute now?” he repeated, disbelieving. “No fucking way.”

“Look, I know you’re nervous, but you need to calm down.” You stepped closer to Lando, cradling his face in the palm of your hands.

He tugged himself free of your grip. “Nervous is the understatement of the year.”

The doorbell rang, and Lando yelped. You rolled your eyes, walking back to the living room to unlock the door and let Oscar in. 

“Is everything OK?” he immediately questioned. 

You nodded, mouth going dry. “Yep,” you managed.

“You’re pale. What’s going on?” Oscar narrowed his eyes, scanning you for the reason why you were acting so strangely. “You texted me, saying there was something urgent you needed to talk to me about. So? What is it?”

You gave him a shaky smile. “Um, yeah. About that. So. . .”

“Aw, come on. Spit it out, Y/N.”

You lowered your head, avoiding eye contact. “Lando, come out of the kitchen.”

Lando edged himself out of his hiding space, ears blazing red. “Hey, mate. How are you doing?”

Oscar looked at you, then at Lando, absolutely dumbfounded. You could see the cogs in his mind whirring as he made sense of the situation. “I knew it,” he said, realization dawning on his face. “I knew you were together. Fuck.”

You glanced over at Lando, who was just as confused as you were. “Pardon?”

“This isn’t the right thing to say. I shouldn’t say this, but I’m going to.” Oscar paused, fumbling for the proper words. “Y/N, I’ve been in love with you for what feels like an eternity, and I can’t watch you date my teammate without wanting you for myself.”

A small gasp left your mouth. “What?” you whispered.

“I love you, Y/N. I always have.” Oscar closed the gap between the two of you. “Call me selfish, but I want you too.”

Lando scoffed. “So, we’re going to share her or something?”

You blushed. “I mean, I wouldn’t mind.”

Oscar blinked, then smiled broadly. “That’s exactly what we’ll do.”
