Tumblr media
T-THAT VOICE... Ooohhh, she would know that voice anywhere! Catching herself just before she tumbled right over with the large bale of hay she was hefting upon her shoulder-- Itsuki would wisely set it down in front of her first before looking right over. Her wide eyes taking in her unexpected guest(s), almost as if she hadn't seen such a sight in like... forever. And, just as a grin would begin to light up those surprised features of hers, it would be the horsey's gentle, high-pitched neigh that would get her to leap right into action!
"BROOOOO!" Her greeting-- when compared to his own- was of course loud enough to draw the attention of all those nearby. An absolute burst of jubilee, as she throws her arms out and wraps them around his mid-section the best that she could. Not even having to mind the chainmail and tough leather that he still wore-- Actually, was that actually a new set ya got on there, bro~?
Tumblr media
"Jus' doin' the best we can, as always, bro." She would offer with a lighthearted little salute, upon finally pulling back from that big hug she'd give him. For even if she was still looked up to by most as this village's leader, Itsuki would always see them all as a TEAM when it came to getting things done. To making the CHANGE that they wanted to see in such turbulent times as these. "Hehe, but thank ya kindleh~ Uhm glad our efforts show~" But she couldn't help but beam at that, very much appreciating the bro for checking up on her. There was even some sense of PROTECTIVENESS in those last few words, especially if she were to tell him otherwise then-- "An' they 'ave, bro! Aside from us, there's been a few dat come on by ta lend a hand or two-- Thooough..." She couldn't help but laugh at that, humorously even leaning in then to whisper the next part to him, "Leet's jus' say some of them ain't cut out fer the farmin' life-- if y'know whata mean~"
@yukikorogashi || bc geralt missed this beam of sunshine (*´∀`*)
“Now, there's a familiar face.”
No other introduction—no simple hello—came before that, a brief moment of shared eye contact doing the favors for them, as far as Geralt was concerned. He had crossed the trodden down path to reach young Itsuki's side, and the chestnut mare in tow offered a crisp whinny that was a pleasant greeting in their approach. A smile rested easy on Geralt's lips as he dipped his head to the girl: as respectful as it was friendly.
Tumblr media
“Been keeping things in order around here, looks like,” he observed, yet a fond stare did not drift from Itsuki's gaze for a more thorough check. “But I hope a few other folks have seen to lending you a hand.”

@madefate ─ Haven't interacted with Claire much, but considering two of my mutuals have spoken only good things about her, I would say they are correct from what I've seen. I enjoy seeing her on my dash and definitely want to interact more. I think we have spoken a bit ooc and ic, but until I get caught up, I cannot confirm whether or not I'm remembering correctly. Either way, I love seeing Claire on my dash and definitely want to see her around more. :)
@hifimuses ─ Ahhhh Giggs. A blessing. Someone I adore and know I can always talk to whenever I need to no matter how much time has gone by. I miss interacting with you, we need to do something in the Hellaverse since I am still working on my blog for my MHA muses. Plus we still need to finish watching the Saw series. I miss talking to you, bb!! I'm gonna lay on you, I swear. Hold you here against your will, you can't run from me <3. Giggs has some pretty great muses and is just overall wonderful to have around, no matter how long I disappear for, he's always there for me!
@lilitophidian ─ Now, let me tell you about Bambi. We've only spoken like one time, but their (I could not find mun pronouns so please correct me if you prefer something different) writing is amazing!!! It's so good and so detailed and so gory and I am just in awe of it all! Their Lilith is unique and actually similar to how I have my own (specifically the siren part), but they are also so different and despite not interacting with them ic much, I love to stalk their blog. Hi, would also very much like ic interactions, too if that's okay. UwU?
@diresang ─ Okay, okay. DO NOT get me started on Raven. I absolutely love and adore Raven with my whole being. Another mutual I had from an old blog that I got back in touch with in the Hellaverse, but the funniest thing is despite being shy beans for the first few days of following each other, we had each other on discord and I literally had been wondering if they were the same Raven I knew and it WAS, but until Raven reached out to me on discord, nothing was confirmed. I am so happy they reached out to me because I have always adored them, no matter what fandom or muses they write. I absolutely love and adore them.
@e-m-p-error ─ Key is wonderful. I adore him. He's so sweet and has so many creative ideas. Different muses, different version of said muse, and no matter what they're writing it's sooo good. He's also very, very sweet. I always adore hearing from him and even though we haven't written much ic yet, I am excited to do more with him and his amazing muses!!

How They Cuddle
karasuno x reader
warning(s): none ! :)
a/n: some sweet luv for the hq boys :) I’m planning on doing a part for the other fandoms I write for too - aot, bnha, & jjk - as well as the rest of the hq teams/characters - so keep an eye out if you’d like! And as always I love interacting w you guys :) feel free to leave comments/flood my inbox :D!
characters: daichi, asahi, sugawara, nishinoya, tanaka, yamaguchi, tsukishima, kageyama, hinata, yachi, & kiyoko
Tumblr media
Daichi
He’s a hugger for sure! If you’re on your phone, or reading, or doing anything before bed he’s snuggling up behind you and resting his head on your shoulder to watch what you’re doing - he’s nosey like that. Anyways, being the big spoon is a very convenient cuddling position for that, and he gets to wrap you up and hold you close <3
Through the night though he slowly scoots down off his pillow in his sleep, so when you wake up his face is nuzzled into the middle of your upper back with his arms still squeezing around your midsection so tight you know you’d have to wake him up to get him to let go 😭 he’s also for sure a light snorer, but it’s ok he makes up for it by being cute or whtv 🙄
Asahi
Another spooner! He’s not particularly bias to being the big or little spoon but he just can’t face you 😭
There’s a few reasons: 1) it makes him freak out and it’s like he can feel your eyes on him even if they’re closed. He’ll be constantly peeking one eye open to look at your face and he’s half scared he’s gonna open them and you’re gonna be staring at him like 👁👁 LMAO
2) the breath on his face tickles too much and will eventually start to irritate him and he gets pouty cause it makes it tough to sleep
And 3) what if he’s making a weird face in his sleep and you wake up to see it 😭
So spooning for the win it is
Sugawara
I don’t think he’d be a big fan of being held, it makes him feel too claustrophobic and he’d feel kinda bad moving you off of him if he had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night :( I also think he tosses n turns a bit while sleeping so holding him wouldn’t be the best option anyways, however!
He likes touching/lightly intertwining legs - one reason is because you can kind of get away with it from any angle but still find a comfortable position that suits you, the other reason is because his feet get cold in the middle of the night and this is the easiest way to steal your warmth
Nishinoya
Ok ok, so I know it’s cliche - but I do think he’s a teensy bit too excited for bedtime cuddles! Not in a restless way, he’s just too excited with the act of actually cuddling you, like every time. Day cuddles are different! When the two of you have some alone time and he’s snuggled up with you on the couch, leaving a bunch of kisses (his favorite are Eskimo kisses), periodically grabbing your face so your lips pucker and leaving a dramatic kiss there after he talks about how cute you are (“oh my god you’re so adorable I could crush you ☹️🥺”), and then squeezing you so tight sometimes your back even cracks, it’s fine! You’re not trying to sleep so it’s just sweet Noya doting on you - but you can see how this would be a problem when y’all are tryna get some shut eye 😭
Solution: back to back, but touching so you can still feel each other’s closeness <3, bonus: every time Noya becomes aware your guys’ butts are touching he giggles and wiggles a little until you remind him it’s time to sleep 😭
Tanaka
Ok but he needs to have a hand on your ass and not even in a sexual way 😪🤚🏼 he just grabs on naturally or rests his hand there and sometimes lovingly pats it when he kisses your cheek before either going back to falling asleep or being on his phone or smth :)
He also loves burying his face in your neck, it just feels so soothing to him and he also finds your smell so relaxing and makes him feel all warm inside! Like when he sees you after a long day he loves wrapping you up in a big hug and leaving kisses in the crook of your neck and burying his face there cause he just missed you sm <3
Yamaguchi
Very much like Hinata he also adores being intertwined with you!! He finds it particularly comforting with your face buried in his chest or neck while he has his legs wrapped up with yours. He thinks it’s the best position to lean down and press a kiss to the top of your head (his favorite kind of sweet kiss), which he always does right before he feels himself drifting off to sleep.
He also likes rubbing your back/neck this way until you fall asleep, or while you talk about anything you wanna talk about. Waking up this way is also his favorite, and if you guys have moved in your sleep, you bet he’s pulling you back into a hug. He periodically squeezes you in his arms, leaves feather light kisses to your shoulder, runs his hands up and down your back, sure you probably won’t be asleep for much longer now with all this movement, but he just can’t help it with how sweet you look sleeping! Don’t worry though he’ll keep up the soothing while you wake up and talk about your dreams and what you want for breakfast :)!
Tsukishima
Not much of a cuddly guy throughout the day but when bedtime rolls around you bet your ass he’s expecting some kind of physical affection. His favorite is when he lays on his back with his arm out so you can nuzzle into his side, and once you’re all comfortable he wraps said arm around you to pull you in close.
Your favorite is when he runs his hand up and down your side or draws little designs with his fingers on any exposed skin. His favorite is when you bring your face up to rest in the crook of his neck or rest your head on his chest, any light kisses you leave or the breath that puffs out of you and hits his neck every now and then never fails to give him goosebumps and make him blush.
Kageyama
I don’t think he’s particularly ~stiff cuddling with you but I definitely think it’s not his forte when it comes to bed time! He just finds a comfortable spot - usually on his side or back - and that’s that! He’s found it and is gonna be out in approximately 2 minutes, but he does love feeling you in bed next to him :(
A good compromise he’s decided is reaching his hand out next to him him so he can hold onto your hand while he sleeps, or being the little spoon! It actually feels super comforting to him to feel you all cuddled up to his back and keeping him warm no matter if you’re bigger or smaller than him <3 he also loves the way he has to pry your arms off of him when he has to get up in those early mornings, or the way he feels your face squish up against his back sometimes, he just loves you.
Hinata
He definitely gets hot in his sleep but he love love loves cuddling with you, so you’ll always start off wrapped up in each other somehow. Usually face to face with your legs intertwined cause he thinks talking to each other about any and everything is a good way to wind down before bed - and I mean anything. Sometimes it’s just him asking you odd questions he’s been thinking about recently before one of you remembers you can google it
But no matter how you two fall asleep at first, you always wake up clinging onto his sprawled out body (probably because he’s kicked the blanket onto the floor and you got chilly in your sleep) or far away from him with all the blanket to yourself as he peacefully snores beside you <3
Yachi
Play with her hair and she’s KNOCKED 100%! She also loves either holding you or being held, but there’s got to be SOME kind of holding going on for her heart to feel full <333
She’s also the queen of surprise hugs from behind once you’ve been together for a fair bit and she feels more comfy being publicly affectionate with you! And if you do the same to her it never fails to make her smile or cover her face cause she’s blushing from surprise
“(Y/n)!! You startled me!” And now you have a very excited & giggly gf 😽😽
Kiyoko
I personally see her as a pretty religious back sleeper so the most ideal position is you in her side or you laying between her legs while she holds you and your head is resting on her chest. PERSONALLY she prefers the second one but she leaves it up to you <3
She just thinks it’s most ideal how she could reach down and trace her fingers lightly on the side of your face; or play with your hair if she’s able to; or rub your neck, back, and shoulders to ease any stress from your day. She’s a big giver of private affection and thinks it’s so cute when you’re so tuckered out you she wakes up with a little drool on her shirt. Not to mention your weight and warmth is super comforting to her ! And even if she wouldn’t admit it, she likes being able to use not wanting to move and wake you as an excuse to get 5 more minutes of you cuddling with her.

Ahhhh hehehehe I hope you like and comments and all that jazz are always appreciated!! Big smooches :)

𝐄𝐏 𝟏: 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊 𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐓 - 𝐥.𝐡𝐜
Tumblr media
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: lee donghyuck x fem!reader
𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: college!au (cs - computer science major haechan, psychology major y/n)
𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: fluff, slight angst
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): suggestive innuendo(s), infidelity, drinking
𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 2.2k
𝐚/𝐧: the first chapter of the and they were roommates! series :D send in an ask or comment here to be added to the taglist! (sorry for the delay, i have been really unproductive so uh, yeah)
𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 | 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭
Tumblr media
you’ve been stuck with haechan for about a month. you’ve successfully avoided him for the majority of the time, he’s still a bit flirty, but he’s been pretty quiet too.
except for when he streams. did he mention that he was a streamer? unfortunately no, you had to find out the hard way.
“haechan, can you fucking tone it down?” you storm into his room after enduring half an hour of his screaming on a thursday night. “i have an essay due tomorrow and it’s 30 percent of my mar-”
you see a professional looking mic, webcam, and another monitor with what seems like comments flowing in constantly on the screen.
“oh…” you trail off taking in all the equipment in front of you as haechan looks up at you.
“oh hey, sorry about that, jeno and renjun were being noobs and i needed to teach them a lesson, chat knows. i’ll keep it down, sorry.” he turns back to his game in front of him, completely unbothered.
“yeah.. uh sorry for barging in, thanks.” you say quickly and dash out his room, hearing the other voices from his headset laugh.
your face is hot, and you feel so embarrassed. 
anyways, lesson learned.
Tumblr media
a few days later, you were complaining to your friend about haechan on a zoom call–as usual.
this time, however, she needed to spill the tea about her thoughts.
“ma’am, what is this tension,” she jokes. “i can feel it from miles away.”
“hey!” you snap back. “need i remind you that i have a boyfriend? and haechan? ew no, he gets on my nerves too much for that.”
“oh right, your boyfriend.” she rolls her eyes.  “i think you need to visit him, you’re so uptight all the time, i’m gonna get wrinkles if you keep complaining to me about shit.”
“oh right, restrictions have been slightly lifted, i can probably go visit him.” you remember reading about it in the news.
“yep, go.” your friend sips on her iced coffee and you laugh.
Tumblr media
the next day, you go through with your plan to go visit your boyfriend.
all prepped and ready and you were going to walk out the door before you hear haechan coming out his room.
“oh, good morning, i’ll be out for a bit, maybe the whole day.” you say to him.
“good morning.” he yawns. “look at you all dolled up and pretty, where you going?” he smirks as you roll your eyes.
“visiting my boyfriend,” you scowl out. “now if you’ll excuse me, i better get going.”
“oh great, hope you enjoy your time with him.” he smiles and you think he’s going to be nice for once. “don’t forget protection.”
you groan. of course he had to ruin it.
“thanks haechan.” you yell behind you as you walk out the door.
Tumblr media
it takes around 1 hour to drive to your boyfriend’s university, and an additional 10 minutes to his apartment, and you’re giddy the whole time. 
you’ve missed human interaction. 
and no, lee haechan does not count. 
you’ve missed the warmth and fuzzy feeling of an embrace, of having someone’s arms around you, protecting you from the outside world. 
you couldn’t wait to get cuddles.
hopefully your boyfriend likes this surprise.
gleefully walking into the building, pressing in the password to his apartment complex. completely missing the creaking coming from his room, but as you entered, you hear the voice of another person, who was definitely not your boyfriend.
you stomp right up to the door, and push it open.
there’s two people in the bed, and your eyes glower at your boyfriend.
“what?” the girl screams, scrambling to cover herself.
“babe?” your boyfriend is frozen on the spot as the girl looks at him as if he just said the most bizarre thing ever.
“babe?” she seems angry now. “you said you were single? what the fuck?”
“yeah, i think he lied to you.” you say coldly. “do you have anything to confess, ‘babe’?”
“you’re a douche, what the fuck.” she gets up and gets dressed. “i’m so sorry, he told me he was available, i would literally never agree to sleep with anyone who’s taken.”
“yeah, it’s okay.” you say, kind of relieved, and the two stare are you like you’re an alien. “at least now i know what type of person i was dating.”
and you turn to walk out.
“wait, babe please.” your ex tries to run after you. “y/n, let me explain.”
“no need to, we’re over.” you turn to say. “you need a ride?” you ask the girl.
“yeah sure.” she says. “don’t call me.”  
“babe please, can we talk this out?”
you couldn’t believe it. you drove 1 hour to see him and he has the audacity to pull this shit and expect you to just easily forgive? nope, lesson learned.
pfft, and he said long distance would work. 
“no we can’t, now if you’ll excuse us, we have somewhere else to be.” you grab the girls arm and walk out the door, slamming it in front of your ex’s face before he can catch up.
Tumblr media
“do you have any plans for the rest of today?” you ask the girl after entering your car. she shakes her head while you smile. “great, any bar or night club recommendations you have?”
“uhh, bar then nightclub?” she suggests. 
“i like the way you think.” you giggle. “i’m y/n btw.”
“yina.” she smiles back at you as you pull out of the parking lot. 
a few hours later, and way too many drinks in, you’re at a table with yina, spilling your deepest secrets about your relationship with your ex.
“can you believe he made me wash his socks?” you take a sip before continuing. “and with my hands too!”
“what? that’s disgusting!” she listens to you rant in disbelief.
“yeah, he said that his socks were precious and the washing machine was too harsh on the cotton or some crap.” you snicker as you recall the other stupid stuff he told you. “ah the shit i did for love.”
“men are trash,” yina says. “cheers to that.” and you both down the rest of what’s left of your drink.
fast forward another 2 hours, you’re wasted. absolutely wasted. 
yina held you back a little bit, but its no use. you needed this.
“y/n, it’s like 11 pm, you’re drunk, i’m barely sober, i think we should call someone to come and get us.” yina tries to reason with you while you shake your head.
finally after 10 minutes of bickering, you finally agree.
“here’s my phone, you can call anyone.” you rest your head on your folded hands after handing her your unlocked phone. “anyone but haechan.” you start to doze off. “anyone but haechan…”
Tumblr media
“hbbhng” you jolt up, feeling the warmth of your own bed. 
how did you get back home?
groaning, you feel your headache. you feel the vomit coming up your throat as you gag.
you almost fall trying to get out of your covers.
“woah there, be careful.” haechan is suddenly barging into your room, holding onto you so you don’t fall on your face, guiding you to your bathroom.
you’re too nauseous to wonder why he’s even helping you or even bother screaming at him like usual.
he pats your back soothingly as you vomit into the toilet.
“there you go, that’s it. i’ve got you.” he reassures you.
“what are you even doing helping me?” you’ve washed up and downed some water, you’re 100% sober now.
“wow,” haechan chuckles, rolling his eyes. “after saving your ass last night, this is the thank you i get?”
“what do you mean you saved me?” you’re genuinely confused by what he means.
“this yina girl called me from your phone, telling me that you’re blacked out drunk in a nightclub at 11:32 PM, on a saturday. asking me to come and get you.” he says, matter-of-factly. “i call a cab, get to the nightclub, haul your ass out the club, drive yina back home, and then us. where during our commute back, you wake up, start crying, and when we get home, you’re bawling about how your boyfriend cheated and you were a dumbass for thinking he would change. remember now?”
you’re in shock.
yina called haechan? you remember clearly that you told her not to, this is so embarrassing. you even cried about your ex to him? oh dear lord you wanted to crawl back into your room into a deep pit and never come out. 
haechan must’ve noticed your distressed expression because his face turns softer.
“hey hey hey, sorry, that was a bit mean. you just got out of a relationship, that was really inappropriate of me and i do not blame you for wanting to relax a bit.” he tries to comfort you once again. you’re in even more shock by his words. “honestly, me driving you back home, and taking care of you was the least i could do. it would have been so mean if i just left you guys there.”
you wanted to burst out into tears. 
this is the nicest thing you’ve heard in about 6 months.
unfortunately, haechan doesn’t know that.
“oh gosh, jheez, i’m not helping aren’t i.” he’s panicked by your emotional state. “uhm, to make it up to you, i’ll watch one of those scary movies with you?”
your tears instantly are sucked back into your eyes in excitement.
“really?” you ask, just making sure.
“yep, ahaha.” he laughs nervously, but happy to see your mood lighten up.
“you free tonight?” bouncing up and down practically.
“yeah…” haechan is a bit scared. “aren’t you going a bit too fast though, princess? you jut got out of a relationship.”
you gasp and slap him in the arm.
“okay okay! that was a joke. yeah i’m free, i have an essay due, but i’ll be done by 6.” haechan says.
“sounds good!” you b-line for the kitchen, your stomach is completely empty. “see you then haechan!”
oh how haechan regrets his offer.
Tumblr media
6 o’clock rolls by, and you choose “the shining” to watch with haechan. anticipating the terror it would bring him. 
and you were right.
every jumpscare, even the smallest sounds, haechan would screech in fright. the last straw for him was the knock on your door.
“AHHHH!” he screams, almost knocking the popcorn out of your hands.
“calm down, dude.” you say, standing up to open the door.
to the unfortunate sight of your ex.
“y/n?” he says, softly.
“what are you doing here? how did you find out where i lived?” you were very sure you never gave him your dorm address.
“your friend gave it to me,” the eye bags he has are very evident. “listen, can we talk?”
“no?” haechan suddenly butts into the conversation. “you literally cheated on her, she doesn’t owe you anything.”
“who are you? her rebound?” your ex frowns. 
“her roommate, and if you even bothered to keep up with y/n, you’d know.” haechan returns the frown.
“it’s between me and y/n, you have no business telling us what to do.” your ex is getting more aggressive now.
“that’s funny, i was the one who was called to drive her home while she was out drunk, i was the one who listened to her talk about how she regretted believing you again, i was the one who held her hair back when she was vomiting this morning from her hangover.” haechan again returns the energy. “you tried to contact her, but she blocked your number and you had to get her address from her friend. you never even cared to ask her beforehand, and now you wanna try and show up to seem like you care? bullshit. now if you’ll excuse us now, we have a movie to finish.” he slams the door in his face and haechan surprises you for the millionth time today.
your ex bangs on the door for about 3 minutes before giving up, and you guys sit in silence as the movie still plays.
“hey haechan.” you try and start.
“AHHH!” he screams again, scaring you this time.
“JHEEZ BRO I WAS TRYING TO START A CONVO, CHILL OUT.” you scream back.
“okay, i’m fine, yeah sorry, continue.” haechan pants out.
“thanks for that.” you say, genuinely. “not even joking, you didn’t have to do that.”
“well i did, because that dude was a douche. literally having the guts to come over here and try and ask for forgiveness after he cheats. unbelievable.”
“yeah.” you fiddle with your fingers anxiously.
“i like this side of you,” haechan breaks the awkwardness. “you’re usually uptight, little-miss-perfect, and cranky, so i like this raw side of you.”
“mhm, i realized that now. sorry for being such a bitch.” you admit.
“no, i honestly deserve it. but i hope we can be friends now, it would be great to have real conversations with someone, you know?” he says.
“seriously?” you hit him in the chest as he chuckles.
“i’m joking! i swear. but seriously, friends?” he asks.
“yeah, friends.” 
and that’s where it started.

1. How did you start shipping Spones?
honestly I've always been a huge multi-shipper, in every fandom I'm/have been in I may have a few ships I don't like, some that I avoid or some that I'm neutral about, and there's usually one or two ships I usually prefer, but in general I vibe with many ships.
I can't tell you exactly when I started shipping Spones, but when I first got into star trek (December 2019, it's been over a year and yet it feels like it was last month) I watched Discovery first and like two episodes of TOS and immediately started reading fic. the first things I read were spirk but one of the first maybe five or ten trek fics I ever read had an element of spones. (or maybe mcspirk? I can't remember rn, but I remember I loved the spones dynamic.) after that I started looking for more spones fics and the rest is history
(I'm still a huge multi-shipper, but any combination of mcspirk, be it romantic or platonic, I love it.)
2. Why do you ship them?
well, it's mostly their dynamic that pulled me in. their characters can obviously be interpreted in many ways, but it think that in most reads of the characters they can complement eachother very well.
3. What are some of the reasons you like Spock as a character? and McCoy?
well for starters I relate to them both. or, I project myself into them, same thing really. but something that always attracted me about Spock's character is the fact that he has so much potential for a study about otherness in every sense of the word; I've legit never found a character more Other in every possible way and yet so... I wanna say human but I'm not sure how accurate that is.
but like, first of all, in context he is an Other in both Human and Vulcan society; both reject him for being "too much" Vulcan/Human and "not enough" Human/Vulcan, which is already a really interesting dynamic to study or play with as a writer (both in canon for the writers of the shows and in fic for all of us). and he's also a perfect character to analyze how us humans (irl, not in-universe) consider Otherness to be and how we interact with it. I just think he's a really interesting character and I love him.
McCoy I honestly kinda took my favourite things about him from canon, took my favourites headcanons about him, meshed it all together in my brain and then deleted what his actual canon character was. in his defence, I do that with most characters in every fandom I interact with, so yeah. I still think his character is great tho, he was clearly the necessary component missing in the Kirk/Spock equation and he helped balance them out. (I think there's an interview where Roddenberry talks about this, it's interesting)
4. Some of your face things about liking Spones: tropes, fics, headcanons, etc.?
I'm a sucker for fluff so I really like soft spones doing domestic shit?? I picture them cuddling a bit on a couch after shift, talking about something sciency, or each reading something in their own PADD, or listening to podcasts tougher??? (I wrote about it in my fic, I made them listen to Sawbones which fits so well I had the idea stuck in my head for a week before I finally caved and added it to the fic) and like McCoy allowing himself to relax, let go of the stress, show his softie side, and Spock allowing himself to drop down his guard a bit, not forcing himself to be so stoicy Vulcan all the time and instead just doing what feels natural, even if that means letting his head drop, relaxing his posture, maybe smiling a bit, the whole thing.
this got longer than expected, and that's considering that I deleted several ranty paragraphs about the brilliance of Spock's character as a way to study otherness, but it's 1am and I'm pretty sure I was just repeating myself so I'll just stop instead
Hey, fellow multishippers unite! It’s so easy to multiship for me so I feel you about vibing with plenty of ships, which obviously includes Spones here lol (Also I too love McSpirk but if I get on that it’ll be a long digression so but you aren’t alone here!)
There are so many things in your answers that I also agree with but if I listed them this post would be long. But yes to all the fluffy, domestic spones stuff and them being able to relax with each other. Ahhhh, such a nice image.
Honestly I would definitely be here to read that ‘rant’ about the brilliance of Spock’s character as a way to study otherness so if you ever want to make a separate post about that and I’m sure many others here would love to read it as well!
[ We're doing a Spock & McCoy appreciation weekend, so send your answers to these questions or anything related you'd like to send! ]

A leg to Stand on - Togata Mirio x Reader
AN:
Idea: Character finding out their S/O has a prosthetic limb. (Think automail from full metal alchemist).
Sorry for any misspelling or grammar mistakes. 
Togata Mirio x Reader
He wasn't supposed to find out, at least not like this. 
You were going to tell him, of course. It wasn't something you could hide at least, not for long. A mechanical prosthetic leg wasn't common even in the world of quirks and heroes. While you weren't ashamed of your leg, it wasn't something you flaunted. You were proud of yourself for your body and your accomplishments, but... life felt simpler when people saw you for you, not for what you were missing. 
Your love life, if you could call it that, was proof enough of that. It's incredible how many assholes there are in the world. What was more incredible was how you seemed to attract said assholes and DATE them. 
 One broke up with you after on a treadmill at the gym. Coward did it over a text message. 
Another one though your leg was a weakness and bad for his future image.  
And then there was your most recent ex. While they were accepting of your metal limb, they thought it would be best for you to get out of the ‘hero business.’ They kept saying how dangerous it was for a 'normal' hero, but for someone like you, it was a death sentence. After a few fights, they played their final card; It was either them or the hero's life. 
You could never give up being a hero. 
After that, you swore off dating and decided to just focus on your career.
 Everything was going great for a while. 
Then you met, Togata Mirio, also known as the hero Lemillion. 
The sunshine boy wasn't like anyone else you ever met. You ran into him and your coworker Amajiki at a ramen shop near your work. After a shy introduction from Suneater, Mirio invited you to join them. You two really hit it off and chatted like old friends. Amajiki (per request of Mirio) started inviting you to their outing, and you quickly built a friendly relationship with Amajiki, Mirio, and Hado. You were enjoying your time with them, especially with Mirio, but you never could work up the courage to ask for his number. 
Luckily, Hado shipped the two of you... hard….
Hado blunt comments about how you two would make beautiful babies (she even went as far as finding an app that merges pictures together to show you what your child might look like), along with other playful ‘hint hint’ comments force the blonde in making the first move. Two dates and a couple of weeks later, you two were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. 
Dating.. hell just being around Mirio made you the happiest you had been in a long time...
Maybe that's why you hesitated when you thought about how to bring up your leg. 
It's just… you were nervous. You liked him...alot.. maybe even loved him. Of course, Mirio was a hard man not to fall for. And it went far beyond just his looks. His passion, his personality... ok, his looks. Everything about him radiated positivity and life. Put a half-dead plant near him, and the damn thing will jump back to life. 
If he did have a flaw, it was he was too perfect. You knew in your heart he would be accepting of your leg and your career, but...
 You didn't want to mess anything up, and you really hadn't been dating too long... 
Six months might seem like a long time but, given the fact that you were both heroes. It made your schedules a little... wonky, to say the least. Though six whole months have passed, you've only gotten to spend a month actually together in total. But that was the hero's life for you. 
While it wasn't always ideal, you both understood, and fortunately, you had technology on your side. Texting, emailing, and calling made the time apart more bearable. 
You felt like a giddy school girl as you checked your phone throughout the day. Reading the little message he sent you throughout the day, helped with getting through even the toughest of days. 
 But today was different.
After weeks of planning, both of you finally had a day off together and planned on spending as much time as you could together. 
There was going to be a festival held in a local park nearby that you loved going to every year.
 Mirio was dying to see a new comedy movie that just came out and, of course, no date we complete without a nice dinner at the local ramen house, the one you first met at. 
Your day was set! 
 You had just finished brushing your lush (Y/Hair color) hair when you heard a knock at your door. You quickly check your appearance in the mirror before welcoming the expected visitor at your door. Your outfit was simple, (cute/cool) and appropriate for the adventurous day before you. A pair of your favorite pants and (favorite color) tank top. While it wasn't summertime yet, the day was going to be warm and slightly humid.  
Mirio arrived at your apartment earlier than expected, and he looked amazing. He stood in the doorway, wearing a black t-shirt and tan cargo shorts that fit him too well. Not that you're complaining, you would soon cut your own tongue out before telling him ‘ya know babe, your butt looks too good in those shorts. You should go change.’ 
You haven’t taken that many hits to the head yet. 
Without any hesitation, you stepped into his warm, welcoming embrace. The feel of his arms around you reminded you that it really had been way too long since you’d gotten to see him. So long, in fact, that it took the two of you a little longer to leave than planned when a quick greeting kiss turned into a heated ', I missed you so much' makeout session. The moment your lips touched, the world around faded away, and there was only the two of you. But before things went too far though, one your neighbor, old miss nosy, interrupted. Apparently, neither of you remembered to shut the front door for some privacy. The sharp huff and her snide comment about hormonal young people these days were enough to pull you from your daze. After rearranging your clothes and locking your door, the two of you were off to enjoy your day.
And oh, what a wonderful day it was.
Even with the slight change of plans.  
Aizawa called Mirio around lunchtime and asked him to pick up Eri after school. The UA teacher was being called out to an emergency assignment and wouldn't be back till later that night. Mirio felt bad after telling you over lunch, but you weren't upset. In fact, you were excited to see Eri again and suggested that you include her in your outing. You enjoyed spending time with her. You especially got a kick out watching her and Mirio interact. The brotherly and sisterly bond they shared never failed to bring a smile to your face.  
Everything was perfect…
… until a villain attacked…
The three of you were making your way to the festival. You walked beside Miro while he carried Eri on his shoulders. You'd been in an in-depth conversation with the curious young girl, and before you realized it, you reached a rough part of town. Unfortunately, this was the shortest path to the fairgrounds. But with the two of you being heroes, you weren't too worried.
Oh, how wrong you were…
You should have taken the bus. 
You through as you dodge another attack from the villain in front of you. You had to be mindful with attacks you dodged, Mirio and Eri were crouched on the ground behind you. Mirio took massive damage from the villain's surprise attack. Parts of his face, the exposed skin on his arms and neck were an angry red and blistered. His breathing was harsh and uneven. 
Eri huddled up next to him, was scared but uninjured. Even with Mirio's injuries, he kept himself between the young girl and the man you were fighting. The villain had a dangerous quirk, allowing him to attack with scalding hot steam. Thank goodness for the quick reflexes of your blonde boyfriend. The villain came out of nowhere with a blitz attack aimed right at Eri. With speed only a skilled hero would have, he simultaneously pushed you and Eri out of the way of the blast. But doing so left him completely defenseless, taking the full force of the attack. 
In slow motion, you watched Mirio fall while you were left holding the young girl in your arms. Your fury rose as you eyed your injured lover and grinning villain. Quickly you tell Eri to run before you rushed the attacker in front of you. He was preparing for another attack, but before could, you hit him with a hard left, drawing his attention to you.  
At some point, Eri ran over to check on Mirio.
"Mirio." you dodge another attack " If you can move, get her out of here. I got this guy!" You tried to counter
"I'm not going to leave you!" 
"Just go!" Your quirk was strong, but it wasn't suited to fight the man in front of you. Your best bet was to hold him off until another hero arrived. His steam made it hard to dodge and even harder to get close for a counter. Every dodged, every counter made your skin boil. Finally, after what seemed like forever, you see an opening. 
"Gotcha!" You yell, aiming your fist for the man's face.
The villain grinned as he emitted a burst of steam around his whole body. The skin on your hand and arm were instantly burned by the heated moisture of the air. You couldn't help but shout out in pain as you jump back, cradling your injured arm. 
"(Y/N)!" Eri's voice echoed through the alleyway. 
"You don't stand a chance. So just give me the kid, and I'll let you and your little boyfriend live." He taunted before gesturing over to Eri, who was shaking in Mirio's arms. 
"No way. I won't let you take her…"
"What are you? Some hero wannabes?" He sneered.
"Try the real deal." You scoffed back at him.
"Ahhhh, I thought I recognized you… your (Y/Hero Name), aren't you? And is that Lemillion, behind you?" He laughed. "Oh, this is too perfect! I get to kill off two heroes and rid the world of that demon child too? Today's going to be a good day!" He attacked you again with even more determination than before. You manage to dodge most of his attacks and even land a few blows of your own. However, the little damage you could do was nothing compared to the damage you were receiving.
"Are you blind or stupid? Why are you fighting so hard to protect that little brat?"
"What can I say? I tend to take my work home with me." 
"That's not what I mean. I mean, why would you fight to protect her?" He rolled his eyes. "It's her fault, Lemillion is quirkless."
" Do you really have nothing else better to do than pick on a little kid?" You weren't going to fall for whatever trick the villain was trying to pull, but a slight look of confusion must have shown on your face. 
"You don't know, do you?" He taunted
"That's enough!" Mirio yelled as best he could before he started coughing. 
"What Lemillion? Didn't you tell her what happened to you?" He was now looking passed you to your boyfriend behind you. Eri had started shaking as she tried to bury her face into his chest. Whatever the villain was talking about, was clearing affecting the two behind you. 
"Shut up!" You attack again. You hated seeing Eri so upset. But what scared you was the look on Mirio's face. Typically, he smiled, even in the face of danger. You could count on seeing his dazzling grin to get you out of the toughest of situations. Not this time, though. You could see anger but also a look of sadness as he hugged Eri close to him, whispering something you couldn't quite make out. 
"Let me fill you in little hero. That brat behind you, she's the reason your loverboy back there lost his quirk. It's because of her that he'll never be the hero 'should' have been. All because of her and her damn quirk." He smirked as he continued. "You see, she has the ability to destroy other quirks." You were shocked as you listened to the villain in front of you. You never really asked what Eri's quirk was or how it was they met. Of course, you heard rumors that Mirio was quirkless. You never saw or heard of him using his quirk, so you never really asked about it. Honestly, you really didn't care. He was a damn good hero and an even better person. "Don't you see how dangerous that kid is? She could destroy everyone's quirk! Your's, Mine, Everyone! I'm doing the world a favor by getting rid of her." He chuckled menacingly. "Guess you could call me the hero in this situation!"
"Who the hell do you think you are…" Your teeth ground on each other as your anger rose to a new level.
"What?"
"What gives you the right…" Your voice rose as you took a step towards the villain.
"The right? Honey, I'm a villain. I do what I want when I want." He chuckled. 
"Villian or not. That wasn't your secret to tell…" 
"Huh?" That confused him. 
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TELLING SOMEONE ELSE'S SECRET?!" You launch yourself at the man. "You have no right to do that to someone!" You throw another punch only to meet a wall of steam. It wasn't as hot this time. You must have caught him off guard. That or you were just too mad to feel the pain. "People process things and will let others in at THEIR pace, not yours! People have secrets, and that's fine!
It's also okay for them not to tell anyone, but it's never okay for someone else to tell it FOR them!" You jump back to catch your breath some as you prepare for your next move. You looked back over your shoulder and beamed at the teary-eyed girl and your now smiling boyfriend.
"Mirio… Eri... I understand why you didn't tell me about your quirk or your relationship… I get it... That's a big secret to have. But know this, I will protect you, and I will never see you any different from before. I know what that feels like." You winked. "I have a secret, too, ya know… Something I haven't told either of you yet…" You turn to face the villain who had just gotten his second wind and charging up for the attack. And a powerful one at that. Without any hesitation, you rush the man in front of you.
"(Y/N)! "Eri's fearful voice echoed through the alleyway. 
"This is where you die (Y/Hero Name)!" The man engulfed his body in vapor hotter than before. Without any hesitation, you swing your leg in a high kick at the man's face. The vapor destroyed the material of your pants to reveal shiny metal where soft flesh should have been. While you weren't able to see, you could feel the impact of your attack. The contact you made was sold and amplified by your rage, sent the man flying to the alley wall behind him, knocking him out cold.
Adrenaline still pumping, you run over to check Mirio and Eri. Just as you reach them. Backup finally arrives. A couple of offers and some heroes swarmed the scene. Apparently, someone had called in the fight happening in the alleyway, but with the festival going on, it took longer for them to respond. 
"Mirio! Are you ok?" You crouched down next to him, checking over both him and Eri.
"Yeah, I'm ok… What… about you…. Eri?" His breath was uneven and hard as he spoke. 
"Were ok." You said in unison.
Two EMTs arrived, immediately running over to the three of you. They were more concerned about Mirio and wanted to take him to the hospital. He, of course, fought them, saying how they needed to check you and Eri first. True, the burns on your up arms and hands were severe but weren't life treating. Mirio, on the other hand, had more pressing injuries. The first attack from the villain damaged his throat and lungs. So the paramedics were more focused on getting him to the hospital. 
Without hesitation, you and Eri jump in the back of the ambulance with him. Much to the protest of one of the EMTs who was bandaging your burns. The ride back to the hospital was quiet. Eri didn't look at you the whole time. You felt bad. She was shy and to have someone say all those mean things about her... A kid… made you want to go back and kick that villain one more time for good measure. But Eri's safety and Mirio's health comes first. The doctors quickly got Mirio into a room and hooked up to a line of oxygen. One of the nurses was able to apply some minor healing to make his breathing a little easier. However, he would have to wait a little while before someone with the proper quirk could heal his lungs completely.
So there the three of you were. Eri didn't look up at you for the longest time, and it finally took Mirio talking to her to get her to look at you. The villain's comments really upset Eri, and she thought you now hated her because of what happened to Mirio. After a lot of reassuring, tears (from all three of you) and hugs (lots of hugs), Eri finally smiled at you again.
About that time, Aizawa entered the room. His mission got canceled last minute. He heard what happened and rushed over to check on Eri. After a few more reassuring hugs and promises to see each other later. Aizawa took Eri home, leaving you alone with Mirio. You were quiet for a while as you sat in silence, not sure what to say. Luckily, Mirio being Mirio, knew just what to do. He slowly slid over as much as the small bed would allow and raised one of his arms up. 
"Come here..." He gave you a soft smile, and without hesitation, you climbed into the bed with him. This was something you both need right now. After some careful adjustment due to your injuries, the two of you found a comfortable position. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my quirk or about Eri."
"It's fine, believe me when I say I know a thing or two about what to bring up and when." You joked as you patted your metal leg. "Some things... aren't first date or even six months of dating conversations." He couldn't help but chuckle before finally getting a good look at your leg. 
"I... didn't know about your leg... What happened?"  
"There was a villain attack when I was a kid..." You whispered as thought back to that day. After telling him the whole story, he couldn't help but hold you tighter to himself. "After that... I decided to be a hero. I'm sorry I didn't tell you soon... and that you had to find out this way... Bet it was a bit of a shock, huh?" You glanced away slightly but stayed in his embrace. You felt bad for not telling him sooner. You mentally scolded yourself as you stare at your exposed metallic leg; if you hadn't been so afraid of telling him, you could have ended the fight sooner. It could have ended better. Mirio knew you were kicking yourself about the attack. He leaned down and gave you a sweet kiss on your lips. The blonde man knew you well, and you leaned into the kiss. True to his nature, the sunshine boy could break through the darkest doubts you had about yourself. 
"A bit but not in a bad way... I was just surprised! But... now that I think about it... it does make sense..." His sheepish expression made you feel better until you fully comprehend his answer. After a kiss like that, you almost forgot you asked a question. 
"Huh?" 
"Well.. you have a little cans of oil in your medicine cabinet, and you have an unusual amount of tools for someone who doesn't have a vehicle... "He quietly reflected before a look of surprise washed over his face. "And on top of that...Tamaki said that Fatgum stepped on your foot last week, and you didn't even flinch!" He examined with his trademark grin.
His expression, along with his remarks through you into a fit of laughter. Hearing your laughter made his heart soar as he joined in. The fit was made worse as you remembered the look on Fatgum’s horrified face when he realized it was your foot and not a bunched up part of the carpet, stepped on. He apologized profusely and was surprised when you brushed off the incident. 
"Poor guy. I thought he was going to cry!" You roared as you both continued to laugh until a coughing fit from Mirio finally claimed you both down. "So…. Do you have any plans tomorrow?"
"Not really. Bubble girl gave me the next few days off to rest up. What about you?"
"Fatgum was upset I got injured. I believe his exact words were, 'now, as much as I love fried chicken, don't bring your extra crispy butt into work for the next few days? Got it chickadee?'" You did your best to imitate the BMI hero's accent, which only causes you to go into another laughing fit.
"How about we hang out at my place tomorrow? What is Hado called? Netflix and chill?"
"I'd like that." You grinned as gently snuggled against Miro's chest.

If you care to find me (Jan/Jackie) - Rune
Hello! I’m a first time submitter, long time fan. Y’all can call me Rune. I desperately wanted to write for Jan and Jackie because they’re two of my faves from this season, and thus a college-lesbian-AU was born. Comments and concrit are always welcome and I’m open to requests either here or on my blog at @runic-riptide Hope y’all enjoy!
The party was in full swing by the time Jackie arrived. She could see a few other people from the theatre department, but overall she didn’t recognize many of the people crowded into the sorority house. The Kappa Lambda Mu sorority was all fashion majors and a few of them had made the costumes for the theatre department’s performance of Wicked. That led into the current raging after party for the closing night of the show.
Jackie thought it had gone really well, they’d gotten a standing ovation at the end and thankfully none of the sound equipment had fucked up during the show. As the main sound tech, that had been her biggest worry for weeks. But now it was over and she could enjoy the party.
“Jackieeeeee!” a heavily accented voice called over the music. Jackie was blindsided by a mess of giggling French girl, as Nicky plowed into her side, the Red solo cup in her hand splashing something that smelled overwhelmingly of coconut rum onto the carpet. “You made it!”
Jackie reached out to steady Nicky; how was she still standing in those heels? “Yeah, I couldn’t miss it!”
“Come, we’ll get you a drink! Crystal is mixing and everything tastes wonderful!” Nicky shouted over the din. She took Jackie by the wrist and began leading her through the throng of people towards the kitchen. Jackie waved at Gigi and Heidi, both girls camped out by the snack table that was set up in the living room as she was pulled.
The kitchen had less people but not by much. There was a small cluster of people crowded around the makeshift bar on the island and Crystal was standing on the backside shaking a tumbler full of what looked like UV Blue and edible glitter.
“Miss Methyd! We have a theatre nerd in need of a drink! S’il vous plait!” Nicky hollered. Crystal nodded and dumped the blue mixture into another red Solo cup, handing this one off to an already tipsy looking Brita.
Crystal grinned at Jackie, her makeup already smudged a bit, “What can I getcha, Miss Cox?”
“Um, something fruity? With not too much alcohol?” Jackie replied. She could handle her liquor, but preferred staying sober in large groups. “Thanks!”
“Coming right up!” Crystal smiled and began pouring lemon vodka and Sprite into a fresh tumbler. She shook it lightly and poured the mix into a cup before adding a dash of Apple Pucker and a lime wedge. “Here you go! It’s a Sour Clown! A Crystal Methyd original.”
Jackie thanked her again and took a small sip. It didn’t have much of an alcohol taste and she was grateful.
“Come on, Miss Cox! Let’s go find your people!” Nicky said as she finished pouring more coconut rum into her cup. She took the wrist not supporting a cup and Jackie was pulled back into the main party.
Gigi and Heidi were still by the snacks, Brita was attempting to twerk on the makeshift dance floor, and Aiden and Jaida were standing nearby, badly hiding matching grins behind their own cups. Jackie scanned the crowded room and had to stifle a brief flash of disappointment, as the girl she was looking for didn’t seem to be in the throng of bodies.
Nicky pulled her down onto the cushy couch pushed against the far wall and promptly stretched out, kicking off her heels and laying stockinged feet in Jackie’s lap. Jackie grinned at the younger girl, only Nicky could be so comfortable with someone she’d barely known two months.
“So, tell me Miss Cox, Miss Cox if you’re nasty, tell me…what is up with you and the cheerleader.” Nicky grinned, taking a large gulp of her drink.
Jackie could feel heat creep up her neck and hoped the lights were dim enough to hide the blush. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she mumbled into her cup.
“Ne ment jamais a une fille francaise, mon petite. It’s unbecoming.”
“Nicky, you know I don’t speak French.” Jackie groaned. Apparently, they really were having this conversation.
“Never lie to a French girl. We can smell bullshit from a kilometer away.” Nicky translated, grinning smugly.
“There’s nothing between me and-and Jan. Nothing.” Jackie argued, plucking at the runs in Nicky’s tights.
“Please, Jackie, I have known you for what? Two months? Two and a half? It is painfully obvious that you like the cheerleader.” Nicky retorted, taking another sip. “Remember? You slipped and cut the music during the first dress rehearsal when she came out as Elphaba? Everyone turned to look and you turned as red as the skirt you were wearing that day.”
“You remember what skirt I was wearing?” Jackie giggled.
“Of course! Dear Gigi made it for you, said your others were…? Ah, de matrone? Motherly? Matronly!” Nicky yelled, finally finding the right word.
“My other skirts are not matronly! Gigi just likes short skirts.” Jackie argued, slightly offended.
“Yes, they are, dear. Every other skirt you own looks like you got them at a librarian’s estate sale.” Gigi chimed in, taking the seat next to Jackie and tickling the bottom of Nicky’s foot. Nicky shrieked and kicked, nearly upending Jackie’s drink all over her.
“Arrete ca! Devil child! The audacity of you!” Nicky cried, scrambling to sit up straight.
“So what’s the tea? What’s the dish?” Gigi said, ignoring Nicky’s remarks.
“Jackie is refusing to acknowledge that something’s up with her and the cheerleader. You know, the one. Elphaba?” Nicky replied, outrage at Gigi forgotten in favor of gossip.
“Ahhhh, yes. Jan, Miss Jan Sport. Theatre major extraordinaire and cheerleader 24/7.” Gigi grinned at Jackie. “There is definitely something up.”
“There is nothing! I swear!” Jackie complained. She grabbed Nicky’s cup from her. “I am not nearly drunk enough to be talking about this.”
Jackie took a large gulp and tried not to cough as the rum burned down her throat. She really did not want to talk about this. She’d done four productions with Jan and every time Jan was the only one she’d noticed during the shows. She was… captivating. Her vocals were astounding, nearly the entire department was jealous of her ability to belt high notes like they were nothing. And during the dry runs, she was beautiful. Her long blonde hair falling over her shoulders, brown eyes lit up with love for her craft. Her passion was enthralling and Jackie fell a little bit more in love with her every performance. Not that she’d ever tell Jan any of this, being a behind the scenes kind of girl. The only interactions they’d had were when Jackie needed to set up her mic. But the brilliant smile she got from Jan was worth the limited moments she got to spend with the other girl.
“That’s a lie and you know it, Jackie.” Gigi snorted. “You look at her like she hung the moon and it’s obvious to everyone but Jan, apparently.”
“Good, I’d prefer if it stayed that way. She barely knows I exist anyway. I’m just a sound tech, as long as she sounds good, that’s all she needs to know about me.” Jackie replied.
“And you’re just as oblivious, dear.” Nicki continued as if Jackie hadn’t spoken. “We all see the way she looks at you as well.”
“Looks at me? Jan doesn’t look at me. I think you’ve spent one too many nights staring too hard at your sewing machine, Nicky. You must be going blind.”
“Oh, she looks at you alright.” Gigi smirked. “In fact, she’s looking at you right now.”
Jackie started and nearly dropped her stolen drink. It took a good amount of her willpower not to start looking around for the other girl. “Ha ha, Gigi, very funny.”
“Oh, it is no joke, mon petite. Jan’s by the entryway to the kitchen, staring at you like she’d rather have something other than liquor on her lips.” Nicky grinned smugly.
Jackie swiftly cast her eyes to the kitchen, trying not to move her head too much. Gigi and Nicky were right. Jan was standing there, staring directly at her. She looked gorgeous. No remnants of the green makeup remained and her blonde hair was pulled into a loose bun, tendrils curling over shoulders bared by a sleeveless black dress. Jackie’s cheeks burned as Jan smiled, noticing Jackie staring back. Jackie swiftly lowered her gaze, taking another large drink of rum.
“Well? Go over there! She obviously wants you to!” Gigi encouraged.
Jackie shook her head. “She could be looking at you or at Nicky. I’m telling you, there’s nothing about me to stare at.”
“Un autre mensonge, mon petite. There is plenty about you to stare at. If you weren’t so devoted to your international studies, I’d have snatched you to model for me already. Those legs, that neck, the dignity with which you hold yourself. I’d have the best model in Kappa Lambda Mu, if you wore my clothes.” Nicky countered, not sounding nearly as drunk as she looked.
“I agree.” Gigi continued. “You have a lovely face and your body would look wonderful draped in silks.”
“Now who’s lying, ladies?” Jackie replied, nervously.
“You. I thought that was what we were talking about, non?” Nicky asked Gigi.
Jackie went to take another drink and found her cup empty. She was already buzzed, the alcohol thrumming pleasantly under her skin. But she wouldn’t risk having to pass Jan to get back to the kitchen for another. She stood and sat the empty cup on the coffee table. “I’m going to get some air.”
“Air?” Gigi teased. “Looks like you’re thirsty to me, Miss Cox.”
Jackie shook her head and made for the front door. More people had arrived and she was bumped several times on her way outside. Finally, she slipped through the door and shut it behind her, leaning back against it and sucking in a large breath of cool spring air. She moved to sit in one of the several papasan chairs dotting the porch and removed the light hoodie she’d been wearing. The breeze felt wonderful on her heated neck and Jackie closed her eyes, inhaling. She sat for a few minutes like that, letting the breeze wash over her as the dull thud of bass thudded against the inner walls of the house. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that the fairy lights strung up along the porch had come on and smiled at the whimsical twinkling. She could leave right now, she’d Ubered here, so she could call another. She could put tonight and Nicky and Gigi’s words behind her, not having to worry about seeing Jan again until the fall production. But her legs felt tingly and the breeze was so nice. She could spare a few more moments before pulling out her phone. Her eyes slipped shut again, just as she heard the music quickly rise and fall in volume and the front door shut.
Jackie opened her eyes and was caught in the stare of another pair of brown eyes gazing back at her. Her throat closed and the breeze suddenly felt frigid on her exposed skin. Jan was standing there, staring back at her, a small smile on her face.
“Hey,” she said, just loudly enough to be heard over the faint music. “I thought you’d left.”
“No,” Jackie croaked. She swallowed and tried again. “No, just needed some air.”
Jan nodded and gestured at the chair next to her. “Mind if I sit? It’s boiling in there.”
“Sure,” Jackie replied. “It is pretty packed.” She hoped her voice didn’t sound as nervous as she felt.
“It was nice of the Kappas to throw this for us. We worked hard on the show.” Jan commented as she sat down. The breeze carried the scent of her perfume to Jackie and she could smell lavender and cedar.
“You guys did all the work. Long nights rehearsing and all. And performing for all those people.” Jackie shrugged, shaking her head to rid her nose of the smell.
“Don’t underestimate yourself. We didn’t have hardly any mishaps with the sound this show and none at all on opening or closing night. I don’t know much about the sound aspect, but that couldn’t have been easy.” Jan smiled.
Jackie laughed, “It’s just a bunch of button pressing, really. Not hard at all.”
Jan shrugged, “You’d know better than I do, but I still think you did an amazing job. You always make sure everything works as best as you can.”
Jackie blinked, stunned. “There are plenty of techs who do what I do.”
“Yeah, but none of them ever get my mic set up right. You get it right every time. From day one. When we did Rent?”
“You remember that?”
“Of course. I was so convinced I’d spend the entire run through majorly uncomfortable because the mic set up was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised when everything felt fine. I asked the production techs about you and requested you ever since.” Jan smiled, curling her long legs up into the chair.
“Wow, uh, thank you? Glad I could help?” Jackie laughed. Her blush was back in full force and she wished the fairy lights were red or pink so she could blame it on them. “You were amazing in Rent, by the way. Your Maureen was awesome. I’d hoped you would keep performing.”
Jan’s eyes lit up, “Thank you. I love theatre and singing, I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.”
Jackie couldn’t think of anything else to say and the conversation tapered off. Jan was still looking at her though, fairy lights reflecting in her brown eyes. Nervous at the scrutiny, Jackie dipped her head, “What? Do I have something on my face?”
Gentle hands moved her head back up and tilted her face towards Jan. The younger girl leaned forward and lightly pressed her lips to Jackie’s. They were only there for a second, but Jackie’s breath hitched at the light pressure. “Yeah, you did. Me.”
Jackie swallowed and reflexively swiped her tongue along her bottom lip. She could taste honey and hoped it was from Jan’s lip chap. “Uh. What. What was that for?”
Now Jan sported a blush and finally dropped her gaze. “I thought- It was stupid, I just thought that maybe you, uh, liked me? But I was wrong, I’m so sorry, I’m not usually so forward-”
Jackie cut her off by kissing her again. She felt Jan gasp, and her eyes slipped close as Jan’s lips began moving against her own. Jan did taste like honey and Jackie thought it was the sweetest thing she’d tasted all night. The kiss felt like it lasted forever and eventually Jackie was forced to pull away, inhaling large gulps of the cool night air. She could feel that her face was flushed and saw a matching one across Jan’s.
“You weren’t. Wrong that is. I’ve, uh, liked you since Rent. I just thought that you wouldn’t notice me, me being behind the scenes and all.”
“I’m glad I wasn’t wrong.” Jan replied, grinning wide. “Would you want to get coffee tomorrow? With me?”
Jackie grinned to match, “Yes. Yes, it’s a date?”
“Yeah, a date.” Jan moved closer to Jackie. “But I’d really like to keep kissing you now. You taste like coconut rum and it’s my favorite.”
Jackie leaned forward again and pressed her lips to Jan’s once more. It looked like she’d have to thank Nicky for the stolen drink tomorrow. After her date.

if you care to find me (janxjackie)
The party was in full swing by the time Jackie arrived. She could see a few other people from the theatre department, but overall she didn’t recognize many of the people crowded into the sorority house. The Kappa Lambda Mu sorority was all fashion majors and a few of them had made the costumes for the theatre department’s performance of Wicked. That led into the current raging after party for the closing night of the show. 
Jackie thought it had gone really well, they’d gotten a standing ovation at the end and thankfully none of the sound equipment had fucked up during the show. As the main sound tech, that had been her biggest worry for weeks. But now it was over and she could enjoy the party.
“Jackieeeeee!” a heavily accented voice called over the music. Jackie was blindsided by a mess of giggling French girl, as Nicky plowed into her side, the Red solo cup in her hand splashing something that smelled overwhelmingly of coconut rum onto the carpet. “You made it!”
Jackie reached out to steady Nicky; how was she still standing in those heels? “Yeah, I couldn’t miss it!”
“Come, we’ll get you a drink! Crystal is mixing and everything tastes wonderful!” Nicky shouted over the din. She took Jackie by the wrist and began leading her through the throng of people towards the kitchen. Jackie waved at Gigi and Heidi, both girls camped out by the snack table that was set up in the living room as she was pulled.
The kitchen had less people but not by much. There was a small cluster of people crowded around the makeshift bar on the island and Crystal was standing on the backside shaking a tumblr full of what looked like UV Blue and edible glitter.
“Miss Methyd! We have a theatre nerd in need of a drink! S’il vous plait!” Nicky hollered. Crystal nodded and dumped the blue mixture into another red Solo cup, handing this one off to an already tipsy looking Brita.
Crystal grinned at Jackie, her makeup already smudged a bit, “What can I getcha, Miss Cox?”
“Um, something fruity? With not too much alcohol?” Jackie replied. She could handle her liquor, but preferred staying sober in large groups. “Thanks!”
“Coming right up!” Crystal smiled and began pouring lemon vodka and Sprite into a fresh tumbler. She shook it lightly and poured the mix into a cup before adding a dash of Apple Pucker and a lime wedge. “Here you go! It’s a Sour Clown! A Crystal Methyd original.”
Jackie thanked her again and took a small sip. It didn’t have much of an alcohol taste and she was grateful.
“Come on, Miss Cox! Let’s go find your people!” Nicky said as she finished pouring more coconut rum into her cup. She took the wrist not supporting a cup and Jackie was pulled back into the main party.
Gigi and Heidi were still by the snacks, Brita was attempting to twerk on the makeshift dance floor, and Aiden and Jaida were standing nearby, badly hiding matching grins behind their own cups. Jackie scanned the crowded room and had to stifle a brief flash of disappointment, as the girl she was looking for didn’t seem to be in the throng of bodies.
Nicky pulled her down onto the cushy couch pushed against the far wall and promptly stretched out, kicking off her heels and laying stockinged feet in Jackie’s lap. Jackie grinned at the younger girl, only Nicky could be so comfortable with someone she’d barely known two months.
“So, tell me Miss Cox, Miss Cox if you’re nasty, tell me...what is up with you and the cheerleader.” Nicky grinned, taking a large gulp of her drink.
Jackie could feel heat creep up her neck and hoped the lights were dim enough to hide the blush. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she mumbled into her cup.
“Ne ment jamais a une fille francaise, mon petite. It’s unbecoming.” 
“Nicky, you know I don’t speak French.” Jackie groaned. Apparently, they really were having this conversation.
“Never lie to a French girl. We can smell bullshit from a kilometer away.” Nicky translated, grinning smugly.
“There’s nothing between me and-and Jan. Nothing.” Jackie argued, plucking at the runs in Nicky’s tights.
“Please, Jackie, I have known you for what? Two months? Two and a half? It is painfully obvious that you like the cheerleader.” Nicky retorted, taking another sip. “Remember? You slipped and cut the music during the first dress rehearsal when she came out as Elphaba? Everyone turned to look and you turned as red as the skirt you were wearing that day.”
“You remember what skirt I was wearing?” Jackie giggled.
“Of course! Dear Gigi made it for you, said your others were…? Ah, de matrone? Motherly? Matronly!” Nicky yelled, finally finding the right word.
“My other skirts are not matronly! Gigi just likes short skirts.” Jackie argued, slightly offended.
“Yes, they are, dear. Every other skirt you own looks like you got them at a librarian’s estate sale.” Gigi chimed in, taking the seat next to Jackie and tickling the bottom of Nicky’s foot. Nicky shrieked and kicked, nearly upending Jackie’s drink all over her.
“Arrete ca! Devil child! The audacity of you!” Nicky cried, scrambling to sit up straight. 
“So what’s the tea? What’s the dish?” Gigi said, ignoring Nicky’s remarks.
“Jackie is refusing to acknowledge that something’s up with her and the cheerleader. You know, the one. Elphaba?” Nicky replied, outrage at Gigi forgotten in favor of gossip.
“Ahhhh, yes. Jan, Miss Jan Sport. Theatre major extraordinaire and cheerleader 24/7.” Gigi grinned at Jackie. “There is definitely something up.”
“There is nothing! I swear!” Jackie complained. She grabbed Nicky’s cup from her. “I am not nearly drunk enough to be talking about this.”
Jackie took a large gulp and tried not to cough as the rum burned down her throat. She really did not want to talk about this. She’d done four productions with Jan and every time Jan was the only one she’d noticed during the shows. She was… captivating. Her vocals were astounding, nearly the entire department was jealous of her ability to belt high notes like they were nothing. And during the dry runs, she was beautiful. Her long blonde hair falling over her shoulders, brown eyes lit up with love for her craft. Her passion was enthralling and Jackie fell a little bit more in love with her every performance. Not that she’d ever tell Jan any of this, being a behind the scenes kind of girl. The only interactions they’d had were when Jackie needed to set up her mic. But the brilliant smile she got from Jan was worth the limited moments she got to spend with the other girl.
“That’s a lie and you know it, Jackie.” Gigi snorted. “You look at her like she hung the moon and it’s obvious to everyone but Jan, apparently.” 
“Good, I’d prefer if it stayed that way. She barely knows I exist anyway. I’m just a sound tech, as long as she sounds good, that’s all she needs to know about me.” Jackie replied.
“And you’re just as oblivious, dear.” Nicki continued as if Jackie hadn’t spoken. “We all see the way she looks at you as well.”
“Looks at me? Jan doesn’t look at me. I think you’ve spent one too many nights staring too hard at your sewing machine, Nicky. You must be going blind.”
“Oh, she looks at you alright.” Gigi smirked. “In fact, she’s looking at you right now.”
Jackie started and nearly dropped her stolen drink. It took a good amount of her willpower not to start looking around for the other girl. “Ha ha, Gigi, very funny.”
“Oh, it is no joke, mon petite. Jan’s by the entryway to the kitchen, staring at you like she’d rather have something other than liquor on her lips.” Nicky grinned smugly.
Jackie swiftly cast her eyes to the kitchen, trying not to move her head too much. Gigi and Nicky were right. Jan was standing there, staring directly at her. She looked gorgeous. No remnants of the green makeup remained and her blonde hair was pulled into a loose bun, tendrils curling over shoulders bared by a sleeveless black dress. Jackie’s cheeks burned as Jan smiled, noticing Jackie staring back. Jackie swiftly lowered her gaze, taking another large drink of rum.
“Well? Go over there! She obviously wants you to!” Gigi encouraged.
Jackie shook her head. “She could be looking at you or at Nicky. I’m telling you, there’s nothing about me to stare at.”
“Un autre mensonge, mon petite. There is plenty about you to stare at. If you weren’t so devoted to your international studies, I’d have snatched you to model for me already. Those legs, that neck, the dignity with which you hold yourself. I’d have the best model in Kappa Lambda Mu, if you wore my clothes.” Nicky countered, not sounding nearly as drunk as she looked.
“I agree.” Gigi continued. “You have a lovely face and your body would look wonderful draped in silks.”
“Now who’s lying, ladies?” Jackie replied, nervously. 
“You. I thought that was what we were talking about, non?” Nicky asked Gigi.
Jackie went to take another drink and found her cup empty. She was already buzzed, the alcohol thrumming pleasantly under her skin. But she wouldn’t risk having to pass Jan to get back to the kitchen for another. She stood and sat the empty cup on the coffee table. “I’m going to get some air.”
“Air?” Gigi teased. “Looks like you’re thirsty to me, Miss Cox.”
Jackie shook her head and made for the front door. More people had arrived and she was bumped several times on her way outside. Finally, she slipped through the door and shut it behind her, leaning back against it and sucking in a large breath of cool spring air. She moved to sit in one of the several papasan chairs dotting the porch and removed the light hoodie she’d been wearing. The breeze felt wonderful on her heated neck and Jackie closed her eyes, inhaling. She sat for a few minutes like that, letting the breeze wash over her as the dull thud of bass thudded against the inner walls of the house. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that the fairy lights strung up along the porch had come on and smiled at the whimsical twinkling. She could leave right now, she’d Ubered here, so she could call another. She could put tonight and Nicky and Gigi’s words behind her, not having to worry about seeing Jan again until the fall production. But her legs felt tingly and the breeze was so nice. She could spare a few more moments before pulling out her phone. Her eyes slipped shut again, just as she heard the music quickly rise and fall in volume and the front door shut.
Jackie opened her eyes and was caught in the stare of another pair of brown eyes gazing back at her. Her throat closed and the breeze suddenly felt frigid on her exposed skin. Jan was standing there, staring back at her, a small smile on her face.
“Hey,” she said, just loudly enough to be heard over the faint music. “I thought you’d left.”
“No,” Jackie croaked. She swallowed and tried again. “No, just needed some air.”
Jan nodded and gestured at the chair next to her. “Mind if I sit? It’s boiling in there.”

"let's forget everything until this moment passes..." (myg)
Tumblr media
[cr to whoever made this gif! sadly I couldn’t find the og gifmaker :( ]
ship: yoongi x reader
genre: smut, angst
warnings! : cussing, explicit sex, oral (female receiving), heart breaking end (i'm sorry)
short summary: you and yoongi were together for two years but realised that it won't work out anymore. you guys broke up. it was hard for both you and you didn't talk to each other for a good amount of time. but you eventually needed to take your things out of his apartement.. and you couldn't avoid him..
insp song/matching song: house of cards - bts
word count: 2k
a/n: hello ^^ this is actually my first time writing an oneshot, and it’s actually quite fun! I’m used to writing a full series so that’s a new experience! hopefully you’ll like it, and please understand that english is not my first language <3
-
You never thought that you would take your things and just leave him and his world, easily like that. Just like that. Like nothing ever happened between you guys.
It hurt you so deeply to stand in front of his apartement. You looked upon to the window that you were sure, was belonging to his room. You breathed out and used the key, that you still had, to get into the main floor.
It was now nearly a month since you guys broke up. You knew that it was needed, you both weren't happy anymore and so caught up in your work that you didn't realise that when you met, you basically were just fighting or hurting each other with knife-sharp words. Even though both of you deeply loved each other... You also knew it needed to be done. Neither of you would slow down with your job nor risking it.
You put the key in the lock and went in.
The smell.. was painfully familiar. Your legs seemed to give in. But you needed to resist this. As long as you're here.
You prepared yourself to quickly get your things and leave. Even though Yoongi clarified that he wouldn't be here while your packing, you were still afraid that he might chime in.
You entered his bed room. The bed still had the same bed sheets as the last time you slept there. As you realised that he was nice enough to put your stuff in a little cotton bag, you couldn't stop but to look over his room.
Yoongi's room didn't change at all, everything was the same as before. When your hand stroked over his mahagoni desk, you also recognized that the pictures of you were still intact. Pictures of weird selfies you took of yourself as well as little polarids that you took along with Yoongi. You would always force him to make these stupid grimaces..
Your feelings blew up in a second and you could feel how your tears were forming, ready to fall down. Before you guys broke up, his room wasn't as covered with your pictures as it was now. Back then there were some but not as many as now. This just showed that he missed you as much as you missed him. And now you had your answer: he was as sore, these couple of weeks as you. Maybe even more?
You were so caught up into the polaroids that you didn't realise that someone put the key in the lock and entered the apartement. The footsteps on the tile were getting louder and louder, but you couldn't hear anything else than your fast beating painful heart.
"Oh.. You're still here?"
You faced the familar voice. There he was. He wore some skinny ripped jeans and a black stüssy hoodie. You instantly remembered that you bought it for him. His black hair was messy, probably because of the rain outside.
"Uhm.. yes. Sorry, I'll be gone in a few." You showed him your back again and fastly rubbed your eyes, trying to hide your wet red-ish eyes.
"You okay?" He came closer towards you. Your back still facing him. His scent made you dizzy and you couldn't think properly. Before you could even reply he pressed your shoulders, slightly. Your heart stopped a beat. "What are you..." He was holding your shoulder and moved you, so could face him. "Gosh.. You don't know how much I missed you.." He looked deep into your eyes and put his forehead on yours. It was all so dream like.
Your break up was messy, hurtful and you both lost so much respect towards each other. But this moment seemed like nothing of all that really happened. You started to tear up again. It was hard for you to breathe, you felt like you would collapse in his arms.
"Shh. Let's forget everything until this moment passes.."
You nodded slightly and were about to wipe away your tears again, but Yoongi stopped you from it. He held your hands in his, preventing you to do anything with them. While still holding your hands he kissed your tears away. Slowly and neatly.
After kissing your tears away, he moved to your nose leaving little wet kisses all over it. He did it with every inch of your face till he reached your lips. The kiss became hungrier and longer than normally. You were grabbing his hair, while he already move to your neck. "Yoongi..." You moaned slightly. "Do you really think we should do this?" He stopped, went back into holding your small face and his lips formed into the gummy smile that you adored so much. "I need you right now. But just when you feel the same..?"
Of course you needed him as much as he did. Your heart and body was still belonging and crying for him. How could you ever escape that need?
"Yess.. I do.."
These simple three words were enough for him.
He easily carried you, bridal style, and put you gently on the bed. His lips were already on yours, kissing you passionately like you were the only water fountain that existed. Your hands were back to where they were, his beautiful fluffly messy hair. His kisses moved again, from your face to your stomach. He did it diligently and softly, he knew what he did to you.
When he finally reached your core, he stopped and looked at you. His eyes sparkled full of both love and hunger. They alone wondered if he could take the opportunity. You nodded and caressed some of his tiny hair away from his face.
Soon your pants were off, and he started to tease you with his index finger. "Gosh.. What. Are. You. Doing!" You remembered how good he was at teasing and at the same time pleasuring you. He knew you were his. "Making you ready for me. That's what I'm doing.." He used his middle finger along with his index one, moving them upwards and downwards into your clit, making you moan strongly. It turned him on, to hear your little moans. He also begins to realise that you were holding back with your sounds of pleasure so he went in harder. "Yoon!!! Ahhhh!" Your voice getting louder abruptly.
He smiled slightly. "That's what I wanted to hear.." - "Gosh.. How are you so good at it?" He ignored your question and looked at your palm that was already full of little sweat drops, so he licked them. While still hammering into you with his fingers.
"I think you're just ready for me, princess." - "You haven't called me like that for.." He pulled his fingers out and licked them thoroughly. "A whole eternity. It seems like it, right?" You nodded as response. Both of your smiles turning tristful. "As I said, let's forget everything. We're in our little universe, for this moment." He pulled you closer to him and kissed your palm lightly.
Shortly afterwards, he took your underwear down and put his mouth fully on your center. Firstly, licking his way through the start. Your hands were still on his hair moving a bit of the few tiny skeins away, so he wouldn't get distracted. He suddenly stopped, licked his lips and closed his eyes. "Ah, you're still so delicious.." Your face turned red. Even though all of this was nothing new to you, you still blushed very easily when he complimented you during sex. More than a simple compliment for your dress or look. "Then continue, Sir." Was all you could reply. You never wanted him to see how easily you turned red.
He went back to your core. Now eating you out heavily. You were indeed a mouning mess. It didn't last long, and you came into his mouth. "My beautiful princess as always." He replied, while licking your juice from his lips.
You were already a bit tired. But you also wanted more of this, because it would be probably the last time you would see and interact with him like this. "Now it's my turn, isn't it?"
You raised your eyebrows and tried to look as intimidating as he did. But before you could grab onto his pants he stopped you from it. "It's okay, y/n." You looked at him surprised. He would never refuse a blow job easily like this. "I just want to touch you, feel you.. It's enough for me if I can make you scream my name." You smiled. And he smiled as response.
Yoongi went back into kissing you, slightly biting your underlip. He knew that you loved it, even though he wasn't that much into it. While still kissing you hungrily, he took a condome from the table. He just showed it to you. You kissed him as a response, taking it from his hands.
Easily you opened the plastic wrap with your teeth, and put it onto his cock. You laid back and closed your eyes while Yoongi covered you fully with wet kisses. Arriving at his favorite spot, your neck. Biting and sucking on the skin so visibly, that everyone could see that your his. While doing that he easily found your entrance. Teasing you with the tip of his cock. Your soft moan made him tingly and he already moaned back as response. That made you crazy.
Suddenly, he ripped your shirt off, the buttons falling down on the tile. You gasped, loving the way he was so into it.
He couldn't hold back anymore, un-clipped your bra and looked right into your eyes.
"Say that you want me." He bit his lips while looking at your exposed breasts. "I want you. I want you so bad." You replied, pushing his head down to your breasts. He licked your nipples to tease you first, and then started to bit slightly on them following to suck them. He wouldn't stop until he marked his territory. Leaving hickeys all over your breasts.
He couldn't hold back any way longer and roughtly thrusted into you. He wasn't even preparing you or anything but went all in. You screamed out his name, and that made him just realise more how much he wanted you. You moved your hands away from his hair and dugged your nails into his back. "Ahh, you're so tight.." You both came approximately at the same time. He pecked your lips quickly afterwards and fell next to you.
"Ahh, princess. You're still the same." You both faced each other. Both of your faces and bodies sweating intensly.
He started to play with your hair, a habit he also practised during your relationship . "You know maybe, we are meant to be?" He said while still playing with your tiny hair near your ear.
You really wished to agree to that. But you couldn't.
You weren't meant to be.
If you were, you wouldn't have easily broken up like that. You wouldn't have destroyed each other so deeply, that night.
A tear of yours started to fall onto the bed sheet and Yoongi's smile dropped. "Wha... Don't cry, Princess.." He caressed your cheek, coming closer to you. "We can go through it, together.. If we -"
"No, we can't!" You literally screamed out these words. Yoongi stopped touching you. "I'm not your princess anymore, Yoon. We can't act like nothing happened between us."
He pulled back from you and closed his eyes. Letting out a deep sigh. "Do you still love me?" He asked while looking at the ceiling. You also laid on your back and looked at the ceiling. "Yes." You could feel his eyes burning into your flesh, from the corner of your eye. "Then what's the problem?" You put your hands onto your eyes so you couldn't see him at all. "I don't want to be with you. Not anymore. It doesn't make any sense." You stood up from the bed and reached for your bra and clothes that were still wearable. You slightly looked to the bed side where Yoongi was sitting. He didn't move at all. The tears kept falling down on his cheeks. He was deeply hurt by your words. But you couldn't lie to yourself or to him.
You both deserved better than each other.

Ghost!Jinyoung as your Boyfriend
Request: And finally can I ask for a Ghost Jinyoung please? Thanks! I hope you got them this time ~Bana anon 💚
Ahhhh...my ghost Au’s are interesting as well. You chose some good Au’s my friend! 
Tumblr media
Jung Jinyoung...died towards the beginning of this year so this ghost thing is still fairly new to him
But he KNOWS he’s dead and is now a roaming spirit. 
He knows to stay away from rogue witches since they are known to create spell bonds with spirits just for the witch’s benefit to stay immortal, killing the spirit in the process by taking their energy.
He’s a bit of a loner though...
Keeps to himself and doesn’t like to interact much with people and other creatures.
He still stays in his own apartment. Even though he died in it. 
The police and EMT did take his body away though and told him that he wouldn’t be able to stay there still until they clean up the mess
But Jinyoung can still smell his blood...
But now that he’s been living in there for almost a year after his death...the smell has started to disappear. 
He’s lucky that the people who cleaned his place up replaced the lock on his door and windows fora safer environment since he died by a serial killer.
You...are a demon. Yes...you have a sharp black tail and your eyes are a bright blue...like no joke...like it’s not a glowing bright but it’s like a PURE blue
And you do...TRY...and I emphasize again...TRY...your best to stay on good behavior
And you were definitely NOT the one that almost started a massacre in a club that one time...
Whoops....
You have been kicked out of your apartment because you missed rent and the land lady...she says she’s human...but with her rage towards you about your rent makes her seem like the demon lord herself...
Never want to get tied up with her...so...you’re on the street now...crying on the inside
But luckily there was a complex on the other side of the road that has an apartment for rent that’s cheaper than the one you were staying at and you took it up
And you using your powers to move all of your furniture into your new apartment
But the apartment beside yours held an energy...a dark energy
And that apartment is actually Jinyoung’s
Now Jinyoung new that a new person was moving right beside his apartment
He knocks on your door and you open up and was hit with dark energy like...well okay...what grudge is this guy holding?
He looks at you and you’re looking at him and you’re both now looking away
“I’m Jinyoung and I’m the ghost that lives in the apartment right next to yours. If you need anything, please don’t come to me because I’m not useful like that.”
“Uhhh...okay. I’m Y/n and I’m a demon.”
“That explains the black pointy tail.”
“Watch out because it can cut...and kill.”
“I’m a ghost...I’ve already been through death...Well, later.”
You’re closing the door and it may have been an odd meeting but still...interesting
And after that meeting...it seems like an attraction clicked between you both
You keep running into each other every time either one or both of your apartment doors open
It annoys Jinyoung to no end because every time you’re around him, he feels warmer than usual and you’re always...bringing home people...shitty people too...
It’s not that you feed from them because that’s a succubus/incubus job but you just need energy when you can’t find people to commit sins.
Did I mention that you feed from anger? 
Did I also mention that you’re one of the seven deadly sins?
Did I mention that you’re wrath?
So, one day you’re about to walk out of your apartment to see if you can feed but Jinyoung beats you to it and knocks on your door
“How my I help you , your ghostliness?”
“Why is it that whenever I’m around you, I feel hot and bothered and...angry.”
“Oh? Angry? Did I not tell you that I’m wrath?”
“Like...those seven deadly sins thing wrath?”
You’re nodding your head a yes and Jinyoung sighs but what caught both of your attention is when this lady walks up the stairs with her cat and looks at you two
“Look’s like creatures also stay in this hotel.”
And your witty self replies with “But aren’t you one yourself?”
Because yes...you can sense creatures...
“Oh? So, you noticed. I’m just a witch no worries.”
And you noticed that Jinyoung tenses up and takes a step away from where the lady is at.
“If you’ll excuse me my dear demon.”
You knew something was weird with her but you decided to just keep an eye on her
“Are you okay Jinyoung? You seem a bit tense is everything okay?
And Jinyoung ignores you and just walks into his apartment and slams his door and you shrug and go get yourself some “food” A.K.A Anger energy
So, after feeding from people who you kind of made the two friends start a fight...so, for the first time...you don’t bring anybody home after moving into this apartment
But you suddenly feel an extreme burst of frightful energy and you’re racing up the stairs because you have a bad feeling about it and you’re welcomed to the sight of Jinyoung being pinned up against the wall by a force and the witch snarling at him and preparing to put a spell bond on him.
You use your demonic speed and is immediately in front of Jinyoung with a smirk on your face because witches are low lives to demons...
“I knew something was off about you. You’ve gone rogue...”
“Move out of the way you demon...let me live.”
And you’re clicking your tongue and you teleport right in front of her with your tail whipping back and forth and your blue eyes turning into a deeper color with a mixture of red.
“Don’t forget  who you are talking to you witch. We are the ones that grant ignorant people like you your powers...we rule over you.”
So once the witch made eye contact with you, you started draining the witch’s powers and you can see that she lived for awhile because her spell bonds that she has collected are being freed and then...she disappeared.
“You talk down to me you disappear.”
You look over at Jinyoung who is just slouching on the floor and staring at you
“Hey...you okay? I should have known that she was a rogue. I could have saved you sooner. Sorry about that.”
Jinyoung might not show it...but you can sense that he is very thankful for you and that he doesn’t want you to move out
But let me tell you...after that incident...Jinyoung doesn’t let you go...
“Hey Y/n...remember when you saved my life? Does that mean I owe you something?”
And you’re smiling because “yes it does. Have you been studying about demons?”
“Yes I have. Like, I know that you used to be called The Mother/Father. Does that mean that you treated the other sins like children and took care of them like your own?”
“ShUT UP!”
Jinyoung likes to prank you too...
You’re bringing someone home to feed from and when you open the door things starts to fly off your counters and drawers starts to fly open and practically scares the living hell out of the human...
You walk in and slam the door shut “Damn it Jinyoung! I’m starving!”
“No wander why they call you wrath.”
“I will END YOU!”
“Nah...you can just feed from me then...”
And that throws you off for the first time in your entire immortal life...
“W-what?”
“Just kidding...”
“Don’t joke like that! I take love bonds very seriously...”
And you shouldn’t have said that because unbeknownst to you, you just gave Jinyoung an idea...
Every time you try to bring a human home to feed, Jinyoung will scare them away...
He goes into Haunting mode when it’s a really hot person...
You’re starting to catch on and confront him about it
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe you’re apartment is haunted by another ghost.”
“I would know because I can sense energies!”
“What if I just don’t want to tell you?”
You huff and push him through the wall into his own apartment and he is working his way into your mind...slowly...
And you’re spazzing out because...what is wrong with me...ever since I told him about a love bond...my heart beats quickly when I see him...I can’t be in love with him right?
Ohhh....how wrong you were
You fond yourself looking forward to going home after you found a job at the clothing store right beside the apartment complex
Jinyoung is always in your apartment now and the only time he goes back to his is to sleep at night
Ahhh but sometimes when he can’t sleep...he would sneak into your apartment  and into your bedroom and keep watch because you tend to have nightmares from a horrible past that included a human you once loved truly...
You would wake up and he’s cooking breakfast for you...
And you’re like ughhh he’s sooo...boyfriend material. And you catch your self because yes...you’rein love...
Jinyoung senses a change and knows he’s got you. He places your plate in front of you and leans over to place a kiss to your forehead and your heart explodes because like...I got to control myself or else he will find out and i’ll kill him if he does
But Jinyoung can just read your expression and knows that you’re fighting with yourself
This is a constant thing now
You waking up and he’s making you breakfast and kisses your forehead with some kind of send of 
“Have a good day.”
“Try not to make anyone angry or else you’ll get fired.”
One day...
“Good morning Y/n. Did you sleep good?”
“Absolutely not...”
“Oh? Another nightmare?”
“No No No...this will not do! Why do you have to do this to me...”
And Jinyoung is prepared for this and walks over to you and caresses your red hot cheeks “To be honest Y/n, I kind of liked you when you first moved in. I knew you were different and would change me and you definitely did when you saved me from that rogue a few months ago. I have been jealous every time you bring home people. That’s why I scare them away...you don’t deserve those filthy people...Like I said before...you can feed from me...”
And he kisses you and it’s hot...like literally and luckily pain doesn’t bother you guys
So...now you’re both in a love bond...
“I guess you have tamed the wolf my dear ghost.”
“Better yet, I tamed the Mother/Father...does that mean you’ll be taking care of me now??”
“I WILL END YOU!”
“You can’t hurt the ghost you love babe!”

✩ Interview with a Mun ✩ All of them!
➊ How many ships do you have on this blog?
Oh gods, too many. I’m a sucker for ships, and Az tries to make everyone love him. It’s a dangerous combination. Azazel only has like two friends he doesn’t sleep with.
➋ Have you ever roleplayed with someone that just left an unforgettable impression on you?
A lot of people, actually. The first who comes to mind is @cxrdolium, who was someone I always made sure to follow on every blog I made because I adored them so much, but they haven’t been around in a while. @mad-eggs-onthewall is definitely also on that list. @midnight-duchess, @father-of-all-lies, @aqua-rxgis, @putrescentking, pretty much all of Azazel’s family. There’s too many to list here, honestly. I just roleplay with a lot of unforgettable people. 
➌ Which of your ships on this blog is the fluffiest?
@trickster-angel-of-healing��s Raphael. Definitely. They’re so sweet that if I wasn’t already diabetic I would become diabetic. 
➍ Would you say you’re a decent roleplayer or do you have any self doubts?
Ahhhh, I definitely have a lot of self doubts. I honestly hate most of what I write and worry a lot that my characters are flat or cliche or just generally subpar. 
➎ Have you made lots of friends on this blog?
So many! I roleplay with a lot of amazingly sweet people. It’s one of the reasons I can never stay away for too long. I’d miss my friends. There are several people who don’t write on here anymore who I miss every day. 
➏ What’s the one thing you especially love about roleplaying your muse?
Okay, so it’s pretty cliche and I worry people are like “This is dumb.” about it but I actually love Azazel’s demeanor and the fact that he is a little bit sympathetic and soft hearted? When I was originally making this blog, I actually had planned to make an Iblis but ended up making Azazel because I thought it would be so interesting to explore how a demon inundated with human sentimentality and regret would behave. That’s why Azazel is so much more soft hearted than the rest of his family. When I think of spirits I think of beings that used to be humans and have now died and been left to stick around for some reason. That reason is usually a regret or unfulfilled wish. So from the time he was little, because of his mother and her spirit friends, and then even more so after he became king, Azazel was surrounded by the regrets and lost hopes and dreams of these once humans. I can’t believe that someone listening to all that from such a young impressionable age wouldn’t absorb that into themselves in the form of what mattered to them and what they prioritized. It’s why Azazel romanticizes the idea of family and love so much. So many spirits spend their days wailing about how they miss their family and how they should have spent more time with the people they loved. Azazel just wants to live a life with no regrets so he doesnt end up like that. 
➐ Are there any people you’ve been to afraid of approaching?
A lot of people. I’m usually too afraid to make the first interaction so I just follow people and hope. 
➑ Give us a rough estimate: How much time have you spent on your graphics? (icons, theme, banners, promos, etc)
Oh god I’ve spent so much time on things, especially considering Azazel’s blog is a few years old. I dedicate an entire day to graphics once every few months. 
➒ Got any memorable threads on here? Care to mention a few?
Any threads with @angelicpaladin and @mr-arthurs-sword were always great! Specifically I remember one with Cali where Azazel went kind of insane and withdrew in on himsel and she came to talk some sense into him and that one was one of my favorites. Also one thread with @guardianofyesod where Az and Gabriel talked about how hard it was for a demon to find redemption and how easy it was for an angel to fall. 
➓ What were some of the most frustrating moments you had with your muse’s interaction with another muse?
I often am frustrated with the way Azazel behaves. I’m always telling him to stop trying to flirt with people to get them to do what he wants, and that he needs friends not more fuck buddies, but he never listens. Also my threads with @bloody-twins-atthegate make me frustrated with him a lot because I’m always like yes Azazel this is cute and you three would make a great ship but you have two very loving fiancee’s in this verse and if you fuck that up somehow you will never forgive yourself. And he’s always like but I love them. And I’m always like, Dumpty will never forgive you. And we fight about it.

3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 22, 23, 24, and 25 for the get to know your author ask?
Ahhhh! An ask! Thank you, anon. :) Anyways, let’s do this!
3.) What order do you write in? Front of book to back? Chronological? Favorite scenes first? Something else?
Considering my working on both Civilian Pianist and The Sea and Stars, I’ll have to say it depends. For CP, I tend to write from front of book to back in terms of the order, with chronological stuff coming with it, but with interludes and so on, I’ve had to delve into the timeline for the sake of consistency. I usually collaborate with Josh and Leo in that regard when it comes to keeping things on track. 
For S&S though? I try to do the same, just with sprinkles of many conversations with Lang and by extension, Beta, on keeping the CYB elements true to some extent (big ones being Kei and a lot of the CYB characters). Sometimes, this leads to me writing favorite scenes first, but then they go into storage for me to figure out for later. Most of the time, it’s still chronological first.
4.) Favorite character you’ve written
I’m actually going to exclude Tomoko from this question considering she is me to an extent. But for actual original characters barring influence like that, Hisako and Judai have been my favorites, with Hisako basically being able to say a lot of things that Tomoko just doesn’t say or won’t, and Judai being that funny, protective-yet-lenient dad I thought he might’ve been had Canon GX gone that way. A runner-up for this category is actually CP Kakashi though, since writing his floundering throughout the entire process of figuring out his feelings for Tomoko have been amusing. :d
8) Favorite genre to write
Emotional fluff. That’s all I can use to describe it. There’s a reason why a lot of early CP had so much hug-inducing fluff, and aside from me getting used to writing for Naruto in general, I enjoy writing those moments of lighthearted joy that Tomoko has when seeing friends (which in a way has shown up again and again in S&S whenever she hugs Kei). It’s only with CP going into arcs such as the Chunin Exams and everything leading up to Kannabi that adding in the emotion really got me going because of how emotionally open I myself can be. 
11) What aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?
Hm… that’s hard to say since there are still moments where I go to early CP and think, “Holy crap, I wrote that?!” in an incredulous voice before rereading again and realizing, “Hey, this is kinda cute.” But for the aspect I’ve improved in the most, I would like to think I did a lot in the fight scene and rising-action/tension categories. Early CP had so much fluff, it was easy to accidentally lose people in it. But when getting into the hard-hitters, well, they hit hard with my most recent work, so I’m proud to look back at those chapters and pat myself on the back for making them.
12) Your weaknesses as an author
Ah. This question. Well, I can only think of two:
Falling back on others a little too often when my writing muse comes to a screeching halt (I mean, Lang’s seen a lot of my stuff when I’ve floundered to the point where I’m surprised she still likes reading my stuff, and there have been many moments where I held myself back from calling Josh and Leo for the sake of trying to figure something out on my own)
Missing commas and em dashes (basically “—”). This is yet another reason why early CP is kinda on the love-hate category for me, because past me missed so many commas. Argh.
13) Your strengths as an author
Just one I can think of:
Delving into the emotions of the character I’m writing in. Even if I struggle with understanding the character in some way (e.g. Kei since she is Lang’s OC, not mine, so she’s harder to write for), getting into their minds and showing the emotion that can come from them is my specialty somehow. Whether it’s because I’m so emotionally open in real life, or just me trying to understand the motivations of the people around me, it shows in CP and S&S really well to where I’m proud (and also kinda mortified) when reviewers comment saying that they’ve cried. Definitely have come a long way from last year, even if I still flounder from embarrassment at seeing my early stuff.
15) Why did you start writing?
I can only really think of a few reasons. Hope you don’t mind the long text post. *scratches head* Then again, you’ve come this far, and I’m grateful. :)
To convey an idea I really wanted to write that no one had really done so far. I’ve said before that CP started with the question of “What if Kakashi had a best friend?”, and that still stands. Adding in how there are very few Civilian OCs that I’ve seen in the Naruto fandom, along with the low coverage of civilians in Naruto in general, that was one factor.
Lang inspired me. Simple as that. Catch Your Breath literally caught my heart when I discovered it in the summer of 2015 (at least, I think it was 2015, I can’t fully remember), and when seeing Kei, I wanted to try writing something along the lines of that too. Not to mention, it’s because of Lang that I got back into Naruto, and I can’t thank her enough. 
Silver Queen’s Dreaming of Sunshine made me see beyond fanfiction again. Shikako caught my heart just as much as Kei.
I wanted to reflect on the growth I’ve done so far as a person. There’s a reason aside from angst as to why I had Vy die at age 18 to the point of it affecting Tomoko in her new life, since so much has happened since then. I’m still attending college, figuring things out little by little, but Tomoko is essentially that self-reflection that I never got to do until now. And seeing how I could’ve been while also exploring the current me in writing has been very much worth it.
I wanted to see what it was like. Posting on Fanfiction and all. Cross-posting on other sites (including AO3) was never really my thing, and my old FFN profile was just sitting on the website, dusty and all after a few select reviews for an old fanfic a friend was doing, so I just dusted it off and got to work.
18) Were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? What were they?
Yes, there were. No doubt about that. For fanfic stuff…
Catch Your Breath. Still my main inspiration to this day. 
Dreaming of Sunshine, especially since it started the whole SI-OC genre in general.
Deja vu no Jutsu, for the worldbuilding and the limits that a writer can surpass (since Vixen Tail wrote a lot to take in, and it’s hard when your brain’s not hardwired for binging), and
Inoue Shiori by Hermionechan90. This was actually the first ever Civilian OC fic for Naruto I ever read, and after seeing Shiori’s accomplishments and her realm in the shinobi world, it got me thinking.
As for books…
Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series. For the mystery and attention to historical detail.
Robert Galbraith/JK Rowling’s The Cuckoo’s Calling and following books in the Cormoran Strike series, for being a mystery series that I found myself loving.
22) Are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?
Sex scenes or anything related to smut, period. First, because I’m a demisexual person and the idea of Tomoko doing that kind of stuff equals “WHAT.” 
(Not helped by how Hisako is my spiritual avatar in the sense of protecting the girl, just because she’s so precious to me and the idea of her doing that equals O^O). 
And secondly… well, those CP fans who have seen Chapter 21 and my later “Announcement” chapter will easily understand why. For others, let’s just say I’m not as protected from society’s stuff as it might seem. I’ve seen some uncomfy stuff too, and it’s hard. 
23) Any obscure life experiences that you feel have helped your writing?
I feel like this is a weird answer, but strangely, my interactions with the older members of my family factor into this. The reason why I personally feel Judai and Hikari are so powerful in CP’s narrative (and not just because they’re honoring my original fanfiction roots in trying to write for Yugioh GX or their being our main heroine’s parents) is because my real Mom and Dad are personally involved in my life. I try to keep them updated every day I can, they help me whenever they can, and it’s been a mutually beneficial and loving relationship. I’ve seen my parents falter and worry, as Judai and Hikari have in-story, while also having a first-hand idea of how even adults in a child’s life can make mistakes (considering how things in life can be - my parents coming from Vietnam more so). So, having them in my life really helped in fleshing out the adult figures in Tomoko’s life, Judai and Hikari included.
24) Have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?
I would like to say ‘yes’ to this, but for once, I don’t think I can. I’ve had to research things to the point of knowing the subject matter better (e.g. wartimes in Naruto, looks into the psychological state that Tomoko might have, etc), but I still had outside help in the form of Josh, Leo, and by extension, Lang, Beta, and Abalisk. So I can’t call myself an expert. But considering how a lot of my stories have been rooted in emotion, I think I’m in fair territory.
25) Copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of.
Oooh. Well, I don’t want to say too much, but an entire snippet for you, anon! This is all thanks to you~ :D 
The following scene was actually something I wrote while I was on my summer road trip, thinking it would be for the aftermath of S&S Chapter 13 (where the Drunk Guy incident happened, just with a better ending in the final version), but after some convos with Lang, Beta, and Leo, this specific scene ended up being scrapped (especially since Tomoko was saved much earlier than in CP, with the culprit not even being able to touch her). That doesn’t mean I still don’t like it - no - I just feel bad that I wasn’t able to include this!
Being set up to rest in my room for most of the day felt almost suffocating. Even if I knew it was for my own good.
Apparently trying to cook pancakes on my own after a long night seemed to not be the best idea I had in mind. Even if it sounded good at the time.
I gave everyone I knew such a bad scare last night, I had thought making them breakfast would be a good way to cheer them up. Instead, everyone was clamoring towards me, bustling me back into bed without even letting me finish cooking.
If I wasn’t physically a child already, this said more than enough.
Trying to sleep was difficult though. I wasn’t sure whether it was because of the endless stream of thoughts going through my head about what had happened and what I should be doing now or the state of my throat (which Kei did try to tend to again this morning before putting me back into my futon), but my eyes just couldn’t close. Sure, I could blink, but actually falling asleep didn’t seem like an option.
So instead, I was left staring up at the ceiling, counting the number of tiles up there while occasionally testing my voice with some light singing. Needless to say, it didn’t go so well.
“Haaa… haagh.”
I could’ve been a wheezing teapot if I didn’t know any better.
At least a notebook and pencil was left in reaching distance for me to use if I wanted to talk. My throat seemed to not be happy with me if I tried anyways.
I was already reaching 30 tiles when the door opened. Without even sitting up, I knew it was Kei from the casual sleepwear and messy black bedhead alone, walking in with a tray of food.
“You doing alright there, Tomo?” she said, voice quiet but still recognizable.
With my voice gone, I could only really nod and put on the best smile I could offer.
It was a broken smile, but a smile nonetheless.
But judging by Kei’s face, she didn’t believe the smile or me. Instead, she locked the door behind her, walked over to set the food to my right side and then hung her head. She wasn’t looking at me, but I could tell she was disturbed about something.
Then, she looked up at me with resolute eyes. “… I think I’ll ask Minato-sensei if I can take a break from missions.”
My heart froze.
Whether or not my panic showed on my face, Kei seemed to notice it enough and shook her head. “I know what you’re thinking, Tomo. This is the time of the Third Shinobi World War, and I should get some more experience out there before Kannabi happens.”
I nodded my head as fast as I could, not even caring that my hair was slapping my face while doing so.
“But Tomo, you didn’t see it.” Kei took a breath, and I didn’t miss how her hands clenched the sides of my blanket. “You didn’t feel your own chakra when it happened.”
Now I was feeling confused. In my funk, I sat up and reached over to grab the notebook, flipping to the first blank page to scribble. It took a few moments, but by the time I looked up at her again, Kei was inclining her head at me in confusion once I turned the notebook over in her direction.
What do you mean, Kei? What does my chakra have to do with this?
“Tomo…” Kei then sighed, reaching over to poke my head. “Tomo, Tomo, Tomo.” With each repetition of my new nickname, she poked my forehead, and I found myself getting a bit irritated. “I’m a sensor, remember? And even if you’re okay now, you didn’t feel your chakra when you got attacked yesterday. You… You didn’t know how close you were to… well.” She paused, looking up at me again and I couldn’t miss the amount of emotion rolling through her eyes. “I almost lost you yesterday, Tomo.”
Oh. I opened my mouth, then closed it. The throbbing in my throat was becoming more obvious.
What am I supposed to say right now?
“I-I can’t…” Kei clenched her fists again as she looked down. “That can’t happen again. Until everything boils down, I want to be there for you if any bastards target you again.”
I could only find myself mouthing Kei’s name before closing my mouth again.
What was I supposed to say?
I glanced down at my own hands before the lightbulb went off. Then, I turned to another page in the notebook, scribbling again. Near me, I could hear Kei’s confused grunt at my actions. I was honestly hoping what I was writing was enough to reassure her.
Kei needed to hear my opinion at least. Even if I couldn’t physically voice it.
When I finally turned the page over in her direction, I tried to hide my own gulp.
I’ll be okay. I’m not fully alright now, but I’ll be okay. You don’t have to worry about me, Kei. You should focus on your training and your work so that this doesn’t happen again.
I’ll be alright.
Once Kei finished scanning my message, she looked up at me with softened eyes before reaching over. The last thing I was expecting was for her to push my notebook down into my lap before pulling me into a hug. “Tomo, you’re not fine at all. And it’s okay for you to rely on friends sometimes, y’know.”
I opened my mouth again, only to close it.
A hand started to run through my hair. “You’re my friend, Tomo, so let me be here for you. Please.”

170804 Snuper Fansign
The venue seemed so intimate to me, it was in a small theatre... I went to my spot (I was #91/100) and I started panicking because there was no wifi so I couldn't look up how to say anything anymore at the last minute... These two Japanese girls Kaylen and I met at the store to buy the albums for the sign both got in! They said hi to me and were so excited but really sad Kaylen couldn't come.... There were lots of other people we knew there, mostly Japanese fans we met at music shows honestly. At first I thought being #91 was bad but I think it helped me because I could see how everything played out before actually doing it myself. I got really nostalgic because they were playing Back:Hug and I listened to that on repeat on the plane to Korea and then there I was, meeting those guys....
When they came in my heart almost burst... like the feeling of "I'm going to get to talk to them oh my goddddd".... I would die for all of them... I couldn't believe it was actually happening. Also I got really tripped out because I imagined them sitting in a certain order and THATS HOW THEY WERE SITTING!! Incredible
I was sitting at the back so they were kinda far away but Sangho and Sebin were right in my line of sight. Woosung talked a lot before it started, and I kept getting distracted by Sebin because he is just... so good and he looked so damn fine as well with a lowcut shirt and necklace and pushed back blonde hair Ugh
As I looked away from Sebin I noticed Sangho was... staring at me...? And when I caught his eye, he smiled ;; so ;; big ;; and I waved and he waved back and I legit had to break the eye contact after a few seconds because I was so flustered fuck... after, a girl beside me yelled at Sebin and he looked a winked a bunch of times and I caught it on vid and since she was right beside me it looked like he was looking into my camera too Bye
Then I recorded my friend getting his signs and at that point I noticed that no one had given them any cute gifts like things to wear on their heads? And I had prepared something for all of them whoops so I was like Uh
While I was watching I felt very disturbed by how much time it seemed like people had with them, and also I was nervous because you have to line up like 10 people in advanced in front of everyone leading to the stage I was sooo nervous fuck
So finally they got to my row, so I went and lined up, and luckily my friend was right in the section in front so he was being really encouraging to me, like being silly and dancing to the music to me, and he also took some pictures of me lol so I felt really grateful for him...
Here are my fanaccounts for the members!
Taewoong
He was so soo sweet ;; Really really smiley in a very cute way. Our interaction was so awkward at first, he was asking me who Justine was (like if it was me or a friend) but I thought he was trying to figure out the age hierarchy between us, so there was a little miscommunication lol but that got figured out quickly. My friend who's been to about five of their fansigns told me he's always first because he's good at calming people down, and honestly its true. He's really easy going and playful, and a tonnnnn of fun. He spoke a lot of cute Korean to me, mostly just a few words here and there, of course he's smiling the whole time, and when I gave him his gift (a little bow clip with a spring and butterfly attached to it) he was like "Oh thank you!" (eng) and he was going to take it but I asked if I could put it on for him because I've always wanted to try that Whoops so he let me!!! And god it was so cute to hold his little head and I put it on the top of his head god I wanted to die (I could tell his hair was really crusty tho rip stop dyeing it). So then he started signing my page, and I looked down and... he was holding my hand... and I know that's normal but I was so taken aback because I didn't remember when he took it LOL and  Okay so I was... Really surprised to see he has.... very veiny, manly looking hands and he was wearing a lot of rings I........ and also he had a lot of stubble on his face too Okay! Anyways he answered my post it out loud in such a cute voice frick and honestly it was over so fast I was kinda sad I didn't have time to do/say everything that I wanted but its okay because it was a great interaction :))

[Trans: Please write me an encouraging message as I have been stressed out and losing sleep a lot lately!!
Ans: Here I am~<3 (I think he meant, “I am here” like “I am here for you!” ;; then, “화이팅!!” (fighting/I’m cheering you on!)]
Suhyun
He was sooo easy to talk to oh my god, he really made me feel calm because it was so casual, he's not really smiley but he's extremely friendly. He also talked to me in Korean the most. When he found out my name he was immediately like "Oh Justin Beiber!!!!" and I was like nOoooo and tried to explain theyre spelled differently and he was like "Ok ok sorry" lol Sorry bro and then I gave him his present (a pink bow clip) he took it and was like "지금...?" (now?) and when I said yes he kind of laughed like he was embarrassed (sorry) then put it in. He answered my post it in Korean then translated it for me even tho I knew what he said lol but that was nice. After, in Korean, he asked me where i was from and if (what?) I ate, and since I was able to answer easily he was like "Oh youre good at Korean!" (in Korean) and i was like "No I can only speak a bit" (in Korean) and he was like "대학교?" (like asking me if I study at university) and I was like yea but the staff was already pushing me away but he held hands with me once more quickly before I left!
Tumblr media
[Trans: Is there a member who’s not who he seems? Why?
Ans: Sangil!!
When I asked why, he said it’s because he’s handsome but he’s actually really cute. I was so bored by that answer because I already know that but w/e he was put on the spot LOL]
Sangil
He was really cute and shy and awkward which I didn't expect (because he's pretty goofy) but it was still nice! My time with him was kinda chaotic though because first of all, he signed the wrong page lol and I tried to tell him but he was kind of confused so when I showed him he was like "OH..." but he couldn't do anything so he just moved the post it fjdj and he felt so bad but I just kept telling him it was okay (in Korean). And then he made the same JB comment as Suhyun but when I was like noooOo he was like "Okay sorry" bUT IN A MORE SAD WAY THAN SUHYUN GHDIDJDD BABY IM SO SORRY I WASN'T TRYING TO BE A A BITCH TO YOU... Then  I gave him him this apple headband that lights up and he gladly took it and smiled but THEN HE PUT THEM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD SO I WAS LIKE "Nono bring them up!" And he was so confused again, but eventually figured out what I meant but I felt so bad because I felt like I kept demanding him things it was so chaotic god I love him tho and he's adorable.
Tumblr media
[Trans: What’s something that makes you happy to hear?
Ans: I like you]
Woosung
He tried speaking a lot of English to me I love him so much? He was so sweet for trying, honestly hes soooo kind no offence I kind of thought he was shit tier (it's a joke don't worry) but hes NOT lol. In my post it I asked him to do a starjng contest with me then give his first impression of me afterwards, and honestly I don't know why I decided to do that but then I was So. Glad. I did because he is so...... BEAUTIFUL..... he looks like a video game character? He's so flawless he looks like a computer graphic I was so shocked.... and I was surprised I held on so long but it must've been because of his beauty like I could've stared at him forever.... but eventually he blinked and I think it was because he was wearing contacts (WHICH ALSO ADDED TO THINGS) so I kinda feel bad for making him do it but it was FUN and he seemed really pumped for it. Then on the post it for the first impression part, he was like (in English) "EYES.... SO.... PERFECT...." and he like... GAVE UP writing perfect because I think he forgot how to spell it I LAUGHED god I love he
Tumblr media
[Trans: Let’s have a staring contest! After, tell me your first impression of me.
Ans: Eyes So Perfect]
Sangho
God...... my ass is in fucking pain just writing this..... he smiled a lot immidiately.... and he smiles as though hes seeing a really close friend after a long time? It's one of those heart melting butterfly inducing smiles. When Woosung told him "Justine" (oh yea the members passed my name down the line... frick) he was like "Ahhhh Justine!" And he didn't even ask me to spell it... note, he signed my slogan a week or so ago so I'm thinking he remembered my name from that... can I die... and then he looked me in the eyes and said "보고싶었어요" (I missed you/I wanted to see you) and smiled... GOD HE REALLY. TALKS WITH HIS EYES AND HIS LITTLE SMIRKY SMILE LIKE HE IS JUST SO. B O Y F R I E N D IT MADE ME WANT TO SINK INTO THE FLOOR AND DIE... (also side note, I noticed when he wasn't smiling that he had creases where his smile lines are and bitch thats like my #1 makeup issue so for some reason that just made me suddenly like him even more ?? Bye). Then I gave him the headband (pink with cat ears) but he didnt put it on cause he was wearing something else on his head... I really wanted to see him in it but oh well he... more than made up for it... While he was answering my post it, I decided to tell him I was leaving soon... I was like "그냥... 오빠..." (oppa [something girls say to older males]... just...) and my voice was really shaking because I was really flustered to be in front of him honestly and... he suddenly looked up at me, stopped writing and slid his hand into mine really firmly and held it and he looked really    concerned    oh my go d I ???!!!!!??? that moment alone   was worth how much i spent on the albums bITCH.............. like it was just... so boyfriend ((like it was that moment when he thought his gf was going to start crying so he tightly held my hand and stopped what he was doing to look me in the eyes and listen......I'm sorry I'm sappy)) and i was like "일요일에 (omg i jst realized said the wrong day).... 한국을 떠날거예요......" (on Sunday [I meant monday tho ;;] I'm leaving Korea) and he made such a sad face and was like "왜애애ㅐ" (Whyyyyy) and i was just kinda  choked up and he smiled softly and was like "어디?" (Where are you going/asking where I'm from) and I told him Canada and he kind of sighed and was like  "가지마ㅏ" (Don't gooo) and then he answered my note (I said "I like you so so much, where can I meet a guy like you;;") while still holding my hand and he said his answer outloud as he wrote it and after he held both my hands and he said something like "I know we will meet again soon" :'----(((((((((((( I'm going to fucking cry this is like something I dream of happening but it happened in real life... I love him so much... and then I had to go and he kept thanking me and stuff and I forgot about the Ryan stickers I was going to put on him so I just     fjdkdk gave him the whole pACK AND SOME OF THEM WERE USED HE'S GONNA THINK I'M SO CHEAP  BUT I WAS PANICKING and then right before I left I told him... I loved him (in Korean) god it just came out I'm so embarrassed ;; I love him so much he treats his fans so well he's like the kind of fanservice honestly I'm so shook
Tumblr media
[Trans: I really really like you, where can I meet a guy like you?
Ans: ㅎ.ㅎ Justine I really really wanted to meet you
(My Korean friend and I looked at it a lot and that’s what it looked like he said, so I guess he’s saying after he first heard my name (from the slogan) he wanted to meet me... god he’s good at fanservice...)]
Sebin
GOD he is  .      be  a  u  ti ful    like a literal frigging prince and his was over way too fast too I wanna die... So Sangho told him my name and then I was like "oh wait a second!!" (in Korean) and he STOPPED SO FAST I'M SORRY BABY and I was like "My sister really likes you..." and he immediately understood and was like "Ahhhh whats her name?" So I was like panicking and I fumbled for my sticky notes but I couldn't find my pen so I just asked to use his lol and he looked at Kaylen's name and I had drawn a loop for the L and he took out my sticky notes and he pointed and was like "L?" and I COMBUSTED HE'S SO CUTE GOD and so he signed that for her and I explained to him that she couldn't come that day. Then I gave him the EARS (a beige fox/dog ear headband) AND HE PUT THEM ON RIGHT AWAY I LOVE HIM HOW IS HE SUCH A SQUISHY BABY BUT LIKE A FUCKING HOT ASS PRINCE AT THE SAME TIME?? And then he held my hand and Kaylen wanted him to draw something cute for him and he drew a cat so quickly god everything he did was so cute I love HE and I told him the same as Sangho that we're leaving on Monday.... and I honestly don't remember his reaction But my time with him was also pretty chaotic but i think I was just really flustered from Sangho :P Sebin though is seriously so beautiful and kind he's just a little shy with new people I think!
Tumblr media
[Trans: My sister is your fan but she didn’t get into the fansign today... please draw her a cute picture!
Ans: *cat* jdkjdd]
ANYWAYS IM BEYOND EMO! BYE!
So after I sat down, a few minutes later Sangho caught my eye again then smiled and waved and gave me a ... heart.... then two finger hearts and I was really dying Fuck me
They all ended up keeping their presents on from me - Taewoong had his lil butterfly clip on the top of his head, Suhyun had his clip on the side of his head, Sangil kept his apple headband on, Woosung put the bunny clip on his collar like a bowtie, Sebin kept his ears on the whole time !!!!! Sangho has his kitty ears on his neck.
*Previews NOT MINE! Credit on watermarks*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Previews NOT MINE! Credit on watermarks* 
 Watching the rest of the sign... Sebin really loved his ears and kept doing cute things to show them off and everyone thought he was so endearing!! But side note... he fidgeted with the headband a few times so I think it was kind of uncomfortable but he didn't want to take them off :-( god he's so precious...
When things were winding down later, Sangil took off his headband and Woosung took it, put it on his face so the apple parts looked like they were coming out of his eyes and he was like "눈이 아파요요요요ㅠㅠ" (my eYes hurttt!!) in a REALLY DUMB VOICE I laughed so frigging hard them Sangil wore them the same way God they're so silly
Tumblr media
Then they came to the front at the end of the sign and when they were doing their final waves Sangho smiled and waved really big @ me, mouthed "고마워요!" (thank you) and gave me a finger heart again (I got it on video that time) I wanna :-( my boyfriend :-(((((( i love he so much.... hes spoiling me..........
And then it was over and I really wanted to cry it was such a beautiful experience for me... I'm really gonna love and cherish these boys for the rest of my life!!!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (◠‿◠✿)
ahhhh thank you so much! I’m such a slow writer, but let’s see if I have some reasonably fleshed-out pieces to share…
1. A Little Night Music (Poldark: George/Elizabeth)
George Warleggan attends his first assembly intending to avoid keeping company with anyone other than his good friend Francis Poldark, but despite his best efforts, he finds himself quite alone with a certain Miss Elizabeth Chynoweth.
The most recent piece I’ve written, and one of my best, I think, in terms of economy of language and showing rather than telling. I feel like the characterization is pretty good too - how I imagine the TV versions of George and Elizabeth in their youth and the way in which they might connect. I wanted to portray how they both feel pressured to conform to and perform for a society they don’t particularly like (and are frankly better than - high society is far too vapid and self-absorbed for their personal tastes) for different reasons - Elizabeth as a young woman who has feelings for a man her family disapproves of who she’s not entirely sure can be relied upon (Ross) and is being pressured to marry as soon as possible, and George as a young man moving up in the world but barred entry to the privileged class by virtue of his birth. So they meet each other on the margins because they are both lonely in their own ways, and connect over more than that - the intelligence and thoughtfulness they sense in each other, as well as their mutual respect, draws them together. They sense a certain kind of compassion and respect in each other’s presence as well as a particular familiarity - they are both so deeply entrenched in the workings of society with no easy way out and they recognize that about each other and sympathize with each other’s plight - the cages they find themselves in.
2. In the hands of an angry God (Preacher: Tulip/Cassidy - mostly one-sided longing on Cassidy’s part but the focus is on the way they connect as people, hurt/comfort primarily)
Cassidy burns and Tulip sifts through the ashes. He’s a predator as much as any other man, only more so. It’s a question of degree, and Tulip graduated from the school of hard knocks with several that qualify her for the job.
Would like to work on this again soon. I think the opening of this piece contains some of the best imagery I’ve ever written, and I was proud of the way I depicted the vulnerability and fragility of these characters in their softer moments, as well as the occasional sweet and melancholy tone of the show interspersed with its bizarro existentialism.
3. An Understanding (Marvel Cinematic Universe: Bruce/Natasha)
A speculative imagining of what happens at Von Strucker’s Sokovian base, and how much Bruce Banner remembers about a certain hand touch. 
I like to think that in this piece I captured these two characters’ individual identity conflicts and their overlap as well as the blurring of self-definition when confronted with their own dark reflections, mixed with a deep desire for each other that arises from admiration, empathy, and love. 
4. untitled Katana/Boomerang piece (DC Cinematic Universe: Kaboom)
A short piece I wrote in response to a prompt that I think conveyed a lot of good-natured tenderness with a respectful recognition of what Tatsu has lost and what it means and doesn’t mean now. Have a few other drabbles in the works for these two as well.
5. Twilight Royal Purple (Preacher: Tulip/Cassidy)
What does one do after getting high with a man (and a vampire for that matter) one barely knows and having emotionally hollow sex in the back of one’s Chevy Chevelle? Hit up the local whorehouse and buy everyone pizza. Maybe drink a bottle of Jack and cry. Don’t forget to make yourself emotionally vulnerable and open in the process. But definitely forget everything the day after.
Something of a prequel to In the hands of an angry God. I wondered what Tulip and Cassidy’s interaction would be like after they slept together, and while we’ll never know, I like to think they bonded a bit over their emotional alienation even if Tulip doesn’t remember it and is ashamed of the encounter.

Asking this because of that top notch Michi rec post you made: Top 5 Michi Fics.
Oh, thank you so much! I’m really pleased to hear youliked my Michi rec post. ♡ (*Here* it is for those who want to check it out.)
To be honest, it’s really not easy to make a top fiveof Michi fics for two reasons: 1. I love way more than five Michi fics and it’dbe difficult to rank them. 2. I’ve been reading Michi fics ever since 2004.Granted I haven’t read every single one of them. And there are so many stories that I really, really loved but have been deleted in that twelve year time span. (I’m going to include those anyways, though.)
Let’s give it a try…
I’d first like to discuss a few Michi stories I reallylike that just didn’t make the cut to my top five, but still deserve a special mention:
⚘Thin Lines byHemsee Apparently this got deleted? I only found out about this yesterday, because I started checking the links on my Michi masterpost, but evidently it’s been deleted instead. Which is unfortunate because I was really eager to know how the relationship between Taichi and Mimi would further develop. Plus, Hemsee really has a clean, beautiful writing style that is so wonderful to read. I hope she creates a new multi-chaptered Michi story, though. 
⚘ All Good Things by Hemsee Luckily, her Michi oneshot is still there. It tells the story of how Mimi and Taichi’s relationship developed throughout the years since their childhood and how they gradually fell in love and got together. 
⚘ anchor me back down by dianaagronSimilarly to “All Good Things”, this story follows their relationship from the very beginning, since kindergarten, in a wonderful will they/won’t they-kind of way, to their mid-twenties. While I do love both stories (what can I say, I’m a major sucker for slow-burns), I do prefer ambd over agt. Plus how can anyone dislike a story inspired by that beautiful song by Mindy Gledhill?
⚘ Snow by hello heartbreak I recently re-read this story and loved it just as much as I did ten years ago. Ngl it hurts seeing my beloved Chosen in such pain, but this story is so touching. I also believe this is the fic that generated my headcanon that Mimi would have trouble transferring back to Japan and have trouble speaking/studying the language. Lo and behold, ten years later that headcanon actually came true in tri! 
⚘ Buttons by BenignUser This story is just so adorable! It makes me melt every time I read it. (I believe I’ve read this oneshot five times. What is my life, haha?) But really, it’s so fun, so cute and definitely worth your while. 
⚘ keep it classy by hellyeahayumichan This is a collection of four (slightly nsfw) drabbles for Michi, Sorato, Takari and Kenyako. It’s just such a great read! I really admire the subtle descriptions. Hellyeahayumichan has such a way with words. (And even though it’s not fic, I highly, highly recommend checking out her Michi art! Each and every one of her drawings are amazing. I envy her colouring skills in particular.)
⚘ Parallels by Scripturiens There are no words to describe how amazing this artwork is. And I stress the word art, because it’s really an interesting exercise in writing by putting the different pieces out of order so that all the nuances of the thoughts and the actions of the characters come together with such care. Amazing structure aside, it’s a nice piece that so wonderfully conveys emotion, especially heartbreak. I love it so much, and now I want to go re-read it….
⚘ Whispers at night by ribbonedcuriosa To this day I’m still so happy I requested a Digimon story set in the Star Wars universe from ribbonedcuriosa, because she took it and fabricated this lovely ficlet. She merged both franchises so fluently, it’s inspiring. The Michi is subtle here, but I love subtle implied pairings when it comes to the adventure genre. I honestly crave more of this story. Forever crossing my fingers for a continuation.
After contemplating long and hard over it, I now present you my TOP FIVE MICHI STORIES:
05 ⚘What Women Want by StarlillyWe start of with one of the most popular Michi fics on FF.net. And that’s understandable, because this story is so much fun! I believe I started reading it not long, just a couple of months, after it was completed. I’m even planning on re-reading after finals, so my little review here is based on my memory of when I read it late 2005. 
First there is something I have to confess (again, I’m sure I’ve stated this before, but just to be clear I’ll state it once more) that I don’t really like it when authors use the dubbed names in fics. I prefer reading Taichi Yagami over Tai Kamiya, very much so. I didn’t like it back when I started reading Michi fics in 2004/2005 and I still don’t now. That said, I won’t turn a fic down because the author chose to use the dubbed names. I do like to give it at least a try. (I sound so picky now…) And in this case: I loved the “What Women Want” film back then (still do, I rewatched it this year), so there was no way I wouldn’t read a Michi fic based on that film. And honestly, Starlilly took the premise and really made it her own while developing the relationship between Taichi and Mimi so well. 
04 ⚘ Falling’s not the problem by ribbonedcuriosaAhhhh, this story is so good! I was eagerly awaiting the next part to beta each time because it’s just so good. I absolutely love how curiosa jumped back and forth from past to present to showcase how Mimi and Taichi got to the point where they were in the beginning and how their lives further developed since then. And she did it so fluidly. Also her characterizations of both Taichi and Mimi are so well-done. 
03 ⚘Come to Me by Pied Piper + Only Alive by Pied PiperI’m sure you all knew beforehand that at least one Pied Piper story would make my top five, and here’s the first one… Sorry, first two. Okay, I know I’m cheating here by putting both these stories on the number three slot and therefore haven’t whittled my list down to five fics but six. But for the life of me, I can not chose between these two! 
I’ll talk about Come to Me first. I really love this story so much because it’s so real, so relatable. There were so many moments where I just nodded understandingly, because it was so realistic. And I talked before how I love slow-burns, well, this fic is one of the ultimate slow-burns I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed reading about their journey from how they became friends first to actually falling for each other, but being apprehensive first considering they were still dealing with their heartbreak from a previous relationship, to finally arriving at their destination together which felt so earned. It was so beautiful beyond comprehension. (PS: I still have a half-finished fanart of it lying around.)
Moving onto Only Alive now… I’m confident my good friend Sunny is going to love the fact that I included this fic into my top three. Back in the beginning of 2009 when we discovered our mutual passion for digimon as well for Michi through a meme on my livejournal (we befriended over Avatar first), she told me that this was her most favourite Michi story. Somehow I hadn’t read it then yet. (Seriously, what was wrong with me?) So, at her recommendation, I read the first chapter and I immediately wrote back to her that I was in love with this story already. There was a certain passage in the first chapter that stood out to me, because it was the perfect Michi interaction:
So he asked her to dinner, sending a written apology note down to her small cubicle several stories below his feet.
She replied almost instantly: Jackass. 
He responded: Pick you up at eight? 
She agreed: Buy me flowers, too. 
Ah, Mimi, Mimi. How he missed someone who could talk back without fear. Welcome home, he grinned to himself.
To me, Michi is so compatible, because their personalities just go well together. They’re both headstrong but they’re both also very passionate and kind. I love seeing them portrayed with the whole “love to tease you” dynamic. And that passage in OA is an excellent example of that. Honestly, Pied Piper has such an exquisite grasp on these characters. I knew then that this fic was going to be splendid, and boy, did it deliver! I read it in the course of three evenings.
I will forever love both these stories. Then again I will forever love all the stories Pied Piper wrote. Just thinking about them makes me want to re-read every single one of them (except that I sadly lost a couple over the years…) 
02 ⚘ Creative License by R.vdPI’m kind of cheating again, haha, because technically this wasn’t really Michi. Daikeru, a ship I love so much next to Michi (thanks to this fic actually), was the main pairing of this story, but Michi was definitely heavily featured. But I just loved this story so much! Unfortunately it was deleted several years ago. (Around 2007, iirc.) 
That being said, I still feel lucky to have read this story. I can’t begin to explain how amazing it was! It was so cleverly constructed. Each chapter focused on a certain aspect of the story, and with each chapter we learned more and more what happened to these characters in the past and how they’re ultimately connected to other characters. It was all intricately interwoven. The writing style was also so crisp, so poetic, so inspiring. Plus, while the Michi was very angsty, it was very hot. I still haven’t read a nsfw Michi that came close to their scenes in this story. 
01 ⚘ My Captain’s Lady by Pied PiperIs there any surprise that MCL is my ultimate favourite? 
The truth is: This isn’t just my favourite Michi fic. This isn’t even just my favourite Digimon fic. This is my ultimate favourite fic ever.
It was the very first fic that got me so hooked. I started reading MCL after chapter fifteen or so (don’t remember the exact chapter anymore, since y’know, it was eleven years ago) and kept checking for the next update. It was really bad with the final chapter, because it was New Year’s Eve and I continuously pressed refresh so eagerly awaiting the update and then when it was finally there I read it between the different courses of dinner. 
I loved it so much that I was raving about it non-stop to my best friend that she, who hadn’t watched a single episode of digimon, even wanted to read it. So I lend her my binder of MCL and I like that she texted me her thoughts a few times. I kept those texts, even after ten years, until I had to buy a new phone last summer. 
Sentimental experiences aside, the story itself is just so epic. It had everything: an intriguing plot, an amazing build-up, lots of suspense and action, and of course a compelling romance between Taichi and Mimi. Once again, the journey of the characters and their relationship was so moving and so captivating. And I loved every step of the way.

Rites of Passage
Alex G.
Ashvika- You were such a comp beast and such a fighter and ultimately I think that’s why you had to go, if you had stayed I really feel like you would have dominated up until the end.
Kevin-OMG You were robbed and I loved working with you, you weird old non-instagramming having man. But really we bonded a lot and I truly had plans to move forward in the game with you and I’m actually sad that we never got to make that happen </3
Sahar- Even though we merged together, I honestly don't remember you. I'm sorry.
Austin
Ashvika-so in the first half of the game you really were someone who guided me through the game and I really appreciate that. It really helped having someone experienced to talk to about the ups and downs of a game like this. I think that especially after we went to rocks for you and we merged as one tribe, people saw me you and Hannah as a trio that needed to be broken up and it’s unfortunate that they saw you as a threat. 
Kevin-Ugh Austin you were truly robbed, you fought hard in this game you were a voice and a clear competitor and looking back I know there was more I could have done in the early tribals of the merge to combat the Mafalde eradication and one of my biggest regrets was knowing how the votes were to fall and not fighting harder for you to stay. :’(
Sahar- Austin, Austin, Austin. Playing in this game with you was almost like a rollercoaster ride. I never really knew where I stood with you. I genuinely did want to work with you in the beginning. I'm bummed that it didn't work out. You had a lot of potential. I believe if you weren't voted out as early as you were, you'd be sitting here in final three instead of Ashvika, Kevin, or I. You just had too much pull over other people's decisions, and you were the biggest threat coming into merge and had to go. Take that as a compliment.
Aqua
Sahar- I know we were on the same tribe, but I don't think we ever had an interaction
Chris
Ashvika-Okay so I know I’ve got a lot to explain because I know you are probably so mad at me. We clicked from day one and  I truly enjoyed playing this game alongside you . I truly and honestly voted to evict you because that was a round in which I did not want to go to rocks because I know that would have been the outcome.  I pushed so hard for everyone to flip but they couldn’t see my reasoning. You are someone that I was initially trying to get to the end with but the week before you left, I heard rumours that you were either a co-leader or a supporter of Jose’s plan to evict me. At this point, I should have talked to you, but it also gave me a sense of distrust in because I believed that you wanted me out. I did not want you to be evicted the week after, but I was put in a hard position where I had to choose between someone who had protected my name or you, who  I had heard was planning to voting me out just the week prior. If I could have been certain that it wouldn’t have gone to rocks, then I would have voted to keep you, but we were at a point in the game where it might have been too much to risk. I want to apologize once again for voting you out as I know that you feel betrayed and disappointed, but I hope that you’ll be able to forgive me because I love you as a person and I really enjoyed playing as much of the game as I did with you. I really hope this game decision didn’t affect your view of me as a person and I hope we’ll still be able to talk after this, and I am sorry once again.
Sahar- Chris you're probably pissed at me. Right after you voted me out you messaged me "I knew I could never trust you." I couldn't reply back at the time, because it wasn't allowed. I'm sorry that you felt that way. There were many times I wanted to vote with you. The numbers were just never in your favor.
Chris C.
Ashvika- In the short time that I got to know you, you seemed like a really great person. We were the alliance that could never be, I think the thick lines between the tribes at that point in the game really separated us and made us unable to work together, leading to you being rocked out. You were a strong competitor and worked the social scene so well.
Kevin-CHRIS You were an awesome ally and I loved working with you and we always got along and you’re a true fighter, after this game I’d love to play with you again. Robbed!
Sahar- Chris, losing you in the game was horrible. 😩 You were one of the few people that I trusted 110%. You're honestly so kind and sweet. The fact that you were so willing to go to rocks that night for me meant a lot. I was really looking forward to you coming back into the game. I miss you and I hope you get another chance!
Dakota
Ashvika-I think you’re my favourite because the first message you sent to me was asking me if I wanted to work with you and I was super excited and then you disappeared and never came back. But you have a special place in my heart for being my first alliance (if you were here maybe we could’ve dominated to final 2 :P)
Drake
Ashvika-Hey you, we didn’t really get to talk throughout this game except for your amazing talent in theatre. But I know that if you had stayed longer, you would’ve found a way to get me out because you were such a perceptive player and that made you scary from a game standpoint. Wish we had talked more though (:
Kevin-UGH oh my gosh, let me tell you, I was SO down for doing Shoib and I DID vote Shoib, in case that was unclear, but as for how everything came to be I can’t say I didn’t try and push a feud inbetween the majority alliance to buy myself a round or 2 and I think without you getting the ball rolling for me I probably would have left that round, overall though I enjoyed playing with you and I respect that ambition you had to go for a big move like you wouldn’t understand, and I’m truly sorry it didn’t pan out for you. :(
Sahar- Drake you're someone that I immediately connected with on day one. ❤️I don't know what went wrong. We were close, and I thought with merge we would grow closer. But I feel like we grew apart. I enjoyed every conversation we had. It didn't matter if it was game related or something completely random.
Hannah
Ashvika-I really wish we got to talk more throughout this game (it’s funny how we didn’t, especially since everyone considered you me and Austin a powerful trio), we’ve had our strong moments, especially when our tribes got swapped and we somehow by some crazy will all stuck together. I really enjoyed being able to play this game with you :) you are hilarious and so much fun
Kevin-I honestly wish I had a closer relationship to you just because as a person I gravitate towards females and so initially you and ashvika were my top 2 for potential allies just because of that. (LOL) But we never got to click and besides a few messages back and forth I don’t know if I didn’t seem interesting to you or you just weren’t trying but I wished we got closer but really after the sides were clear in the game I was, with all things considered, happier to vote you off than someone else to better my games chances. Still love ya tho, thanks for never wavering from mafalde.
Sahar- Hannah you were sweet, but you were just a causality. I did want to build a better connection with you, but after our first tribal council as new Agnolotti you went silent towards me.
Jake
Ashvika-Heyyyyy there fake ass mafalde traitor :P oh wait am I talking about myself??? Ahhhhh we did so well jake, no one knew and we still made it this far! the way that we play this game is so similar and I always felt like we had some unspoken connection because we went about the game in the same way. You deserved to make it to the end and it was truly a pleasure playing with you :)
Kevin- Jakey Wakey…. Hm! Well you were basically the reason I was put into such a MOOD early on in the merge with your flipping antics and it put me off of you a bit I will say but as the game moved on and lines shifted and allegiances wavered I got to see you were actually REALLY smart and you played really well, making it to the final 4 without a scratch so I give major props to you, as for you yourself I think you’re really funny and me and you combined gave this tribe more than enough laughs (they don’t deserve us tbqh) Hopefully we play again, maybe I can experience what it’s like to work WITH you :P
Sahar- We never talked. The only time we talked was a few hours before Katie was voted off. I know talking is a two way street, and I probably should have tried to initiate conversation too. If we could do the game over again, you're someone I'd want to try to connect with.
Jebus
Ashvika-IF ONLY YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION WOULD WORK PROPERLY AHHHH ICON WHO DIED AND WAS REBORN AND THEN DIED AGAIN I’m really glad we got together near the end but I wish we had connected way earlier than that because it was so much fun working with you. You were one of the few people who could see the game through my perspective and believed me, not to mention that you were a joy to talk to. Really hope you are here for ftc and I really think things would have been different if you had been here for the end <3
Kevin-Mister Jebus… I’m so sorry you had to be med evac’d you were strong you were smart and you did everything you could and it’s sad to see someone so deserving leave because of things outside of their control but onto the next subject you were super nice and we never really got past that gameplay-barrier to talk any further but maybe we can as the game ends and we move on! :D
Sahar- Jebus I don't even know where to begin with you lol. You were a wild card. The whole time we played together, I think you thought you had me fooled but I was always one step ahead of you. I wanted to work with you, but then you lied to me about the Katie vote(the tribal Chris finally left). You didn't vote her. That was the point where I didn't know if I could trust you or not. 😕 I am proud of you though for winning redemption island. You were a pre merge boot, and then you managed to get yourself all the way to final five. That's definitely something to be proud of! I know I wouldn't have been able to do that. My track record in competitions isn't the greatest 😜
Jose
Ashvika-are we still in a one-sided rivalry against one another? :P I’m just kidding. JOSE HONESTLY you were one of the people once the cast list came out and even post-merge that I really wanted to work with!! Maybe I didn’t put out enough signals or maybe you didn’t pick up on them because next thing you know, you be trying to come after me D: you were so messy, targeting me one week and taking It back the next, but I’m messy too and I love messy, messy is the best kind of gameplay to play. I really love you as a person <3
Kevin-For us being in the Merge together so long I’m kinda sad that we didn’t talk more especially considering both of our positions during the later bit of the game and I really wished we had talked more! I respect that you respect (respectception) an honest game and I actually enjoyed your little monologues that you’d post as the game went on it’s admirable people put their position in the game on the line for their opinions and I can relate to that so I wish things blossomed a little more for the two of us but it was fun :)
Sahar- JOSE! You were honestly crazy! 😜but I like that about you. But that also made you dangerous to keep around. With your rants in the tribe chat, and calling out people for their votes...I never knew what you were going to do or say next. Don't ever change!
Joseph
Ashvika-tbh it took me a few minutes to remember what an iconic god you were, it sucks that you had to be medically evacuated because we got along pretty well but hun hope you’re doing well
Kevin-You were actually a legend and I loved talking to you and I know things didn’t out for you but I really enjoyed your stay on the Mafalde Beach :D
Katie
Ashvika-So you and I were always kinda tricky because let’s be real, you never fully trusted me and I never fully trusted you. I felt that as we got closer and closer to the end of the game, that there would be more opportunity and more circumstance for you to turn against me. You are an influential player and I knew that if you stayed longer, you could make others see me as a threat too. But besides all the gameplay, I really enjoyed getting to know you. You are so wise and so fun to talk to, you always have something witty to say, which was relieving in times of stress and high tensions during this game. You are truly an icon of these survivor games.
Kevin-GUUUUUUURL. We got along super well and I will be honest I didn’t know in the beginning if I actually really liked you or if you were just THAT good at this game that you faked me falling into friend love with you because you knew my favorite BAND my favorite TV SERIES which both are things I never find people who are fans of and overall you are just one of my favorite people to have met on this season and I really REALLY hope we can keep being friends <3
Sahar- Katie! Voting you out was honestly the hardest vote I had to make all season. I was conflicted and I kept going back and forth if I was making the right decision or not. But It's just where the cards fell, and I'm terribly sorry. ☹️ You were always kind hearted and so easy to talk to. As someone who was new and clueless coming into this game, having a returnee like you made me feel comfortable. I remember when rocks had to be drawn and I messaged you if I needed to vote or not. You didn't make me feel dumb at all. Thank you for always having my back. 😘
Michael
Ashvika-Hey love <3 you were honestly gone way before it was your time and I was so upset that I couldn’t do anything to stop it from happening. You and I clicked from the beginning as the only ones who actually cared about winning immunity in our tribe and I hate that they wanted you out because you were putting in effort. You are truly amazing and the time we got together was a lot of fun :)
Kevin-Michael! You were pretty helpful when it came to challenges and I actually felt kind of bad voting you out and then lying to you about it as well, but it’s how the game goes I guess.
Mo
Ashvika-There were so many iconic people in this cast but I think you set the bar for being the most iconic with your self-vote :P we never really got to talk and I remember being so nervous because I had a feeling one of our pre-swap mafalde would be going home during tribal  but you swapped in and saved the day by not voting. Honestly though, all love for you <3 you are truly an icon. 
Sahar-I don't remember much about you 😕 but I had fun editing your performance in Calling All The Monsters!
Shoib 
Ashvika-Kumar Shangakkara will definitely approve of this message :P you were my best friend throughout this whole game and man did we dominate together. Everyone always underestimates the indisputable power of two brown people that are united. Paratta  and samosas will beat spaghetti and meatballs any day. I knew from the moment that we merged and you talked to me in sentences that were longer than one word that we were going to get along. To be honest, I thought you were shady as fuck when I first met you (“yeah Ashvika everyone basically trusts me” what did the others call you? Puppet master? Our lord and saviour? King of Italy?) but you grew to become my closest ally. Out of everyone that I’ve ever met in this community, I’ve clicked with you the most, I am so glad we got to meet. Our talks about the game and your humour was what got me through the days that seemed gruelling, you understood me like nobody else did. After this you better not stop talking to me because there are barely any other damn brown people in this community and you are the most entertaining of them all. I would have gone insane without you (and let’s face it, you annoying loud mouth would have gotten you voted out long ago if it weren’t for me :P ) I wish we could have made final 2 together and fulfilled our dreams of being the first brown duo to make it that far, but you knew you were going to win if you made it there, I just had to cut you before you cut me :P sorry, and from one member of the asian persuasion to the other, love ya lots <3
Kevin-oh boy, well well well, if it isn’t Shoib. Truly masterful gameplay this season just first and foremost I have to applaud that but we all know you didn’t really want me in this game and I understand but forgive me for feeling a little happy that I’m here and you’re not (not in a rude way just in a proud way) You told me basically straight up that you wanted me gone but I did too (wanted you gone not me) game aside I think you’re a top notch person, you’re fun to talk to, you get my references we can have movie debates and it was nice that with you it wasn’t always ALL game. :)
Sahar- You were honestly my partner in crime. I think everyone had figured out how close we were by the end. Thank you for always being there for me since day one. You were level headed, and kept me calm most of the time. You were definitely one to watch in this game, and I hope you are as proud of yourself as I am for making it as far as final 6. Ily ❤️
Timmy
Sahar-I enjoyed talking to you in the short time that I got to. Unfortunately, you were at the bottom.
