This Week in BL - Disappointing Doom

Feb 2023 Wk 3

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 12fin - Them openly dating and flirting with each other (finally) while keeping it “secret” was hilarious. No surprise they got outed tho. The whole “coming out homophobic teacher” sequence was very extra but suited this show. And ending with prom could not be more YA. Plus smiley kisses! 

CONCLUSION?

GMMTV gave us a classic high school set Thai BL with tropes like messy boys singing their feelings that was Love Sick for the modern age with all the gentle sweetness and pining ache, but none of the dated damaging tropes or issues.  Yes, we’ve seen it all before, but this is me: I ADORE this shit. Who let my BL be this wholesome and funny? This show was fantastic, it’s only flaw was the singing (and that’s my baggage). My favorite GMMTV offering to date. 9/10 (could go as high as 9.5 on my more forgiving days) 

Bed Friend (Sat YT, GaGa & iQIYI uncut) ep 2 of 8 - I’m ending my week with this one these days. I feel like this is an EXCELLENT life decision. King’s pining is WBL levels of EPIC. Uea’s ma may be the worst ma in Thai BL (and that’s some stiff competition.) Ah getting tested together, such a right of passage. I like King a lot, his attitude, life philosophy, the way he looks an Uea, everything. This show is GREAT. 

Bed Friend extra sexy bits explained:

YouTube has the cut version with slightly less sexy content (this is what I’m mostly watching). 

GaGa ALSO has the cut version, BUT they have “extra clips” with the uncut content, you’ll need to find and watch them separately. 

iQIYI has the uncut version with the above mentioned extra sexy bits integrated back into the full episode.

Okay? 

Okay.

Moonlight Chicken (Weds YT) eps 5-6 of 8 - The break up btw Wen & Alan was really hard to watch, both actors are so good. Speaking of good actors, where did GeminiFourth come from? Seriously? I love these characters almost as a much as TinnGun. Heart’s parents are EVIL. Told ya they’d kiss as this couple bf TinnGun. Back of head wrap ‘Kiss’ tho, haven’t seen one of those from Thailand in ages. Old school. And then Khaotung just broadsides us with PAIN. This is such an aces show, but it is A LOT. 

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 11 of 12 - More cute BF intercut with agony. Holy role reversal dad butler! Otherwise a somewhat lackluster ep 11 of DOOM as dooms go, but I’m okay with that. 

Chains of Heart (Sat iQIYI) 1-2 of 10 - This is a suspense thriller about smugglers, amnesia, and lost love. Haii is good (and gorgeous) in the lead but the story is choppy, disjoined, and confusing. May be intentional, bad writing, or the captions being particularly bad (or all 3). It’s an interesting and different start. Not good but interesting. It reminds me a little of Manner of Death only with better action sequences. But I’m not sold on it because MoD had MaxTul, and this... does not. Ep 2 did not improve matters. When Ken & Lue flirt it’s fine and the Thai food bits were fun. (Kao Soi is one of my fav northern dishes, I’m sad he didn’t get to finish it.) At the funeral, why are they all texting when it can be traced and they could just be talking to each other? Honestly, everybody behaves like an idiot in this show. So I guess this is a revenge narrative? I’m so confused. They pretty tho, so I’ll keep watching because I am weak, but if you can wait, I think this is one that’s gonna be better as a binge. 

Our Winter (Thai & Korea YT & TikTok under ThaiMiniSeries) eps 1-7 of 14 - TutorYim microseries, told in vertical (TikTok) shorts. (Thanks to the BL spies for reporting in.) Cute Trope snippits but Korean is HARD to understand with a Thai accent. I’m not watching it with Eng subs and I’m not wild about this style short form but still - cute. Funny how they styled TutorYim so that they look slightly Korean - wardrobe and makeup wizardry. 

Hit Bite Love (Sat YT) ep 6 fin - Degrassi Junior BL concludes in a very soap opera way, with new characters and new/extra drama. Trigger warning on the original trigger. The investigating cop was super hot tho. Can we give him a BL? Also I liked the final scene makeup tons. But honestly what a total mess. I don’t know what i just watched and neither does it. 3/10 (sorry babies)  

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 9 of 10 (or 17&18 of 20) - Kind of a filler ep and lackluster for a penultimate DOOM installment. But the HIStory franchise gets this way sometimes. 

Jack o’Frost (Japan GaGa) ep 2 of 6 - I’m finding it a bit dull. 

It’s Airing But ...

My Beautiful Man 2 (Viki & Gaga) - Because there are only 4 eps, I’m waiting to binge this.

Boyband ep 2 of 10 - Stopped airing on YouTube, and only available in Thailand & Japan. Not sure if they’re working a distribution deal or just fucking with us. 

Destiny Seeker (Tues WeTV ) 10 eps - it’s not on any WeTV I can get ahold of. Bad Buddy the pulp rebirth meets Japanese handsome host club action. FairyGodBLer came through for me, but I’m collecting to binge just in case. It’s my new policy with the grey stuff. 

Cafe In Love (Thai) 10 eps on Ch3+ - Thai pulp, about trying to save a coffee shop. Same as above. 

Gossip

Thailand’s famous gay pink milk comes to Oakland, CA, USA. This amuses me greatly. And yes, next time I’m in the area, I’ll probably try to hunt it down.  (What is Pink Milk?) 

Kim Ji Woong is doing fine on Produce 101 5 Boys Planet. I agree with the pundits that he’ll likely make it through. (Yes, I think he’s a better actor than idol, and yes, we will mostly lose him from BL if he goes all in with whatever group results from this.) But does that matter when Peak Time is also airing? No, because Peak Time is MUCH better and more interesting show and it has Karam (Happy Ending Romance) fucking KILLING IT. You all know I love Leo’s voice but clearly VIXX-euphoria distracted me, because I had no idea Karam was such a stable vocalist. He’s insane and it’s fun to watch a 2nd gen fucking SERVE it up (have you ANY idea how hard Mirotic is to do LIVE?). 

In case you missed it 

Viki has acquired the airing rights to Advance Bravely. We can’t expect it to be much altered, but at least it will be legally available, and one hopes the subs will improve.

Viki added The Eighth Sense to their upcoming KBL roster, new one to me. “A university romance about the confusion often felt by college youth regarding life and love.” 

KBL A Shoulder to Cry On AKA Comfort the Boy coming to Viki, March 13. (MUCH anticipated by me, this is a high school set hurt/comfort delayed by OMGEA X scandal.) This will be the first BL to star idols from the same group! Fingers crossed it’s good because this is a group that definitely needs BL’s support. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

02/28 = Tin Tam Jai (Thai Gaga & iQIYI) 10 eps - Adorable Tin has a life-long dream to marry an older boy in his neighborhood, Park. Same production co as Coffee Melody & Ai Long Nhai. I'll likely binge it.

03/01 = The Promise, (Thai WeTV) 10 eps - friends-to-lovers, follow up to a previously aired miniseries Phupha | Nanfah. Because of this and the WeTV platform I likely won’t bother.

03/02 = All the Liquors (Korea Gaga & Viki) 8 eps - Liquor company rep and party boy Han Ji Yu buts heads with hot chef Park Ki Hoon, who doesn't drink.

03/02 = Heesu In Class 2 (Korea unknown prob Viki and/or Gaga) - A gay(er) version of Sex Education. I’m still not sure this one is actually happening. 

03/03 = A Boss and a Babe (Thai YouTube) 12 eps - ForceBook in an office set boss/employee rom-com. 

03/04 = Love Syndrome (Thai unknown prob iQIYI or Gaga) 10 eps - trailer, violent, hot/cold, hurt/comfort, amnesia. (Stars Frank formerly of FrankDrake.)

Full list of upcoming in March 2023 is here. 

2023 forthcoming BL master post. (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

That tentative hand GOT me bad. 

I love it when a character call’s out another character’s main characteristics. Very meta. (Moonlight Chicken.) 

OMG hot cop! 

Make up game ON POINT. 

(Hit Bite Love.) 

SO GOOD. (Bed Friend) 

(last week)

Current Kpop(ish) earworm? SHAUN & Jeff Satur - Steal The Show, you should watch it ALL THE WAY to the end, just trust me. Have I ever led you astray?

No.

Don’t answer that.

Zombies on Screen: My Top 10

We're back at it again with my zombie obsession and today I will be treating subjecting you all to a ranking of my top ten favourite zombie movies and/or shows. Because yes, this is still an ongoing thing for me and it doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon.

If you want to see less of my zombie ramblings, feel free to block the "curio reviews" tag.

And now, on to the list!

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️ [22 Zombie Emojis]

10.) Kingdom: Ashin of the North

While I don't like this special as much as I do its parent series, I still enjoy it, and I started a list of "animals in zombie dramas" because of it. Considering the way Ashin was introduced at the end of Kingdom and the unlikelihood of a season 3, I am so glad we at least got to see some of her story in this movie. This is not an easy watch. Kingdom has its comedic moments, of course, but Ashin of the North is an undeniably darker, sometimes uncomfortable, addition to the series. And yet, it suits the character and the tone introduced at the end of season 2 almost perfectly. If we never get a season 3, at least we have Ashin.

9.) Warm Bodies

It's been a while since I watched this film but I remember enjoying it, if not being slightly confused at some points. The whole "zombie eats mans brain and then falls for man's girlfriend because he can see their memories together" is Weird, if not somewhat creepy, but I suppose that's the "zombie" part of the zombie rom-com. Or zom-com, if you will. I do like the ending. Yeah yeah "the power of love and friendship cures everything" is an interesting trope choice for a zombie film, but I absolutely loved it.

8.) Zombie Detective

I looked up "zombie shows" and this one kept getting suggested so I thought I would give it a try. I knew that it was a comedy and still didn't expect the mild Looney Tunes-esque sound effects. Sometimes during a dramatic throwing sequence there'll just be the sound of a slide whistle as the object makes impact with its target, and at first I thought it was annoying but it genuinely grew on me. It took me a couple of episodes to get into it (bearing in mind it's a 12 episode series), but eventually, I enjoyed it and even found some of the humour to be funny. The plot drags a bit- they start telling one story, it becomes another, and then they manage to get back on track to the original story in the final 4 episodes- but it does all tie together so I'll give it a pass. The tongue-in-cheek references to other zombie shows and films (Train to Busan, anyone?) are great (and yes I also agree that Ma Deong-seok is the greatest threat to a zombie's existence /j). Though I doubt it will ever happen, if a second season ever comes out I will be watching it.

7.) Happiness

My issues with this series are similar to my issues with Zombie Detective. It drags a bit, and then parts of the final episodes feel so rushed? I don't know. The death fakeouts in the end also started to get a bit annoying, and we get some resolution as to the fate of the main leads and antagonists in the end, but I would have liked even a brief montage of what happens to the rest of the supporting cast as well. You spend 12 episodes getting to love or hate them, and then just...nothing. Yeah yeah it's implied earlier in the episode, but I would have liked more visual confirmation, you know? Even so! For all the faults I have with it this was a great series. And some of the music in this is so good??? I still stand by that, as much as you'll grow to hate her character, Bae Hae Son is an absolutely fantastic actress.

6.) 28 Days Later

The first 12 minutes of this film is almost entirely music that steadily increases in volume and pace, and it is just so great. I was on the edge of my seat. Could have done without the shot of Cillian Murphy in the buff to introduce his character but eh. I get the hype for this film, I think it's warranted. I was worried that, with the difficulty I had in finding a version to watch, I wouldn't enjoy it, but thankfully I did.

5.) 28 Weeks Later

Honestly I think this one is slightly better than the first one. Maybe I'm just biased because Robert Carlyle is one of my favourite actors (that man plays the role of the cowardly father to accidental villain extremely well), but I really like the way the ending set up the third film. Which is not to say that I'm not wary of how they will go about the third film, especially now that they're actually filming it, but I do look forward to seeing how the third will hold up given how strong the first two are.

4.) #Alive

Specifically the 2020 South Korean film, not the 2020 American film of the same name and based on the same script. I think what I like about this film is the vagueness. There's no attempt to explain why the apocalypse is happening, and there's no attempt by the leads to cure it. It just exists and they are forced to try and survive it with little more than what they already have. It is phenomenal, and I really, really liked the whole "zombies retain some basic skills from their being human", like being able to climb a rope or use a door handle. It's so creepy. Would I have liked a bit more development on that front? Sure. Does the film work without out? Absolutely.

3.) Shaun of the Dead

I don't know why I enjoy this film so much, I just do. Call it a soft spot for homegrown comedy if you must, but I did actually find myself liking this film far more than I thought I would. It's 20 years old this year (release-wise) and to mark that it was/is being re-shown in some cinemas. 20 years on and some of the jokes don't necessarily hold up, but dammit it's a good film and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recently saw a comic strip that was released to coincide with the original release of the film, and it adds a new perspective to it all. Yeah the film is funny, but the strip focuses on the character of Mary, the female zombie that Shaun and Ed first encounter in their garden, and shows how, in her last moments alive, she reached out to them for help but they didn't realise and brushed her off. It is incredibly sad and adds another layer to the film that makes it worth its status as a cult classic.

2.) Kingdom

Ah, I love this show so much. I have rewatched it so many times, and it's still just as good. Honestly, I think one of the greatest things about this show is the rewatch value. Once you've seen it, when you go back and watch it again you see that they actually reveal the cause of the zombie outbreak in the first few episodes, but you probably won't notice it, or even understand it, on your first runthrough. I love it. I highly doubt we will ever get an official season 3, which is a shame, but Ashin of the North is a great follow-up regardless, and I'm glad they at least allowed one of the most promisingly interesting characters in the series to get some screen time and development.

1.) Zom100: Bucket List of the Dead

You can pry this film from my cold dead hands. I genuinely enjoy it. I watched it last Halloween for the first time and did not regret it. That shark scene is one of the wackiest, most god-awful pieces of CGI I've ever seen. It's terrible. I love every second of it. It's so out of pocket, and, considering the tone of the previous movies I'd watched before this one, an absolutely perfect way to round off my evening. I love everything about this film to the point that I even sat down and watched the anime three days after finishing it. Genuinely enjoyable 10/10 would watch again.

[evanescentjasmine]

For the questions for fic writers - how about 4, 12, and 30?

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

The closest answer to mind right now is probably the name of Grief's daemon in genius loci. It gave me such (forgive me) grief until Riddance just waltzed into my head fully-formed and feral.

Details I actually worked on would probably beeeee...

The narrator voice in my Hades/TMA crossover fic, there is no escape, which had to follow the Hades style while still being horrifying. Deeply pleased with how that came out.

The way urban fantasy protagonist Gerry Keay uses the Fears against each other in my GerryOliver TMA fic, youth dipped in folly. I'm fascinated by the different conceptions of the Fears and how someone outside of the Institute would think of and interact with them, so that was very fun to do.

Most recently, the descriptions in my Daniil timeloop fic, salvage. I'm a writer who frequently forgets that characters don't just exist in a formless void and has to get bonked on the head to describe things, so this is very much a, "look, ma, I did it by myself this time!"

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?

I haven't written any of these myself (yet?) but hanahaki, a/b/o, and variations of love/fuck or die tropes have historically not been my jam - then I joined horror fandoms and discovered actually these are incredibly tasty to me IF! AND ONLY IF! the horror of it is explored and, preferably, frontloaded. Then I eat that shit up with a spoon.

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

Related to the above but: r o m a n c e

I can co-write romance just fine, and can enjoy reading it, but left to my own devices in my own fics I tend to...forget it exists? Sex too, sometimes (#aroace brain) which means I don't tend to write ship fics usually, and pairing dynamics tend to be background or off-screen entirely.

My first foray into writing romance by myself was for original work writing and I wrote like six separate romanceable characters in that so woof. It was uh. Painful? And awkward? And I second-guessed myself constantly. Then my GerryOliver fic (although even then my lovely friend and beta had to be like "jas do you think you wanna add some...you know...kissing to this?" and I am eternally thankful) and then -

Well. How it affected my approach to writing fic is a) when I'm outlining I have to look at it and ask myself, did I forget to consider if they have romantic and/or sexual feelings again? and b) how can I use those potential feelings to make everything w o r s e

:D

I'm looking forward to implementing the results of my learning into genius loci before long.

(although, despite being ostensibly a shippy fic, Artemy and Daniil's relationship to each other is still not quite as important as their respective relationships with themselves so. maybe one day I'll write a straight-up romance finally who knows)

[witchybitchybisexual]

1. ‘Dorothy Zbornak sighed as she walked out of the lift with her Ma.’

2. I tend to write in third person, but generally Blanche comes the most naturally to me.

3. Which one? I have 8 unpublished, unfinished haha.

4. Blanche and Dorothy raising a daughter and dealing with the consequences of a child having Sophia as a grandmother and Rose an honorary aunt.

5. ‘When Rose passed Blanche in the hallway, she began to smile, “Hi Blanche, are you excited about doing the documentary?” ‘

6. ‘Blanche’ appears 22 times so far (still in the early ish stages) followed by ‘Dorothy’ at 19.

7. I think simple is always a guaranteed, but I do love italics if that counts?

8. This Little Lie of Mine By GrandSailorMiniMoon is a gorgeous story that captured my heart with its complexities from the first read! So I’d have to say that, just so that I could write the happy ending I so wished Blanche and Dorothy could’ve gotten in that - though I did love the angsty ending too. I’d definitely give it a read if you haven’t already!

9. On AO3 and finished? A rare occurrence for me haha! I think it was a schitts creek one that only took a couple of days because I didn’t have much on in my life back then and got myself into a bit of a writing frenzy.

10. A year and a half? Maybe even a bit longer.

11. My golden girls crossover with Philomena Cunk, or the crossover with absolutely fabulous.

12. Smart and serious x giggly and thoughtless has always been a big one for me, but I have to say you can never go wrong with the secret admirer trope!

13. A Series Of Unfortunate Events or Law And Order SUV is a very small possibility in the future, but I prefer focusing on one fandom at

a time to be honest.

14. Watching the media surrounding it, reading other stories and seeing old interviews about the characters helps a little, but to be honest ideas just pop into my head randomly throughout the day and I just role with it, it’s not a case of me really needing to do anything!

15. I don’t really have a favourite weather to write in, but I dislike doing it when it’s very sunny! A thunderstorm is always quite relaxing (typical, I know)

16. My bed, usually at 2 in the morning. I tend to find it the most peaceful time where I can work on a story. This is also why I tend to respond to messages at all hours of the day/night.

17. I either write it directly onto AO3 and paste the copies into notes or vice versa. I try to really get into the mind of the character and think about their speech patterns or mannerisms in order to feel like the reader can picture this actually being the characters reactions themselves etc, rather than just my interpretation of said character! I’ll usually have a film/tv show on the devices I have in the background so that I don’t get too bored, sometimes this is the golden girls, sometimes not. Occasionally if it’s a really long day I’ll save my work and just watch it fully, but I try to write for as long as possible as I find it a wonderful de-stressing technique for me. I’ll either edit paragraphs by paragraph or just edit the whole thing once it’s done, if not I publish first and this reread the next day to iron the mistakes out and edit.

18. N/A - sorry. Unless I really like the line, I delete it completely.

19. The unification of Italy was certainly the most unusual I can remember happening recently!

20. …2020-2021?… maybe? That’s a big maybe because I deleted a lot of my work a couple of months ago.

21. An actual fic? 13th of May (yes, I know I’m embarrassingly slow at doing chaptered fics)

22. Not really, only when I start out in a new fandom. Once I get the feel of the people then I’m fine! I write more for myself and my ideas rather than the public, they’re just a lovely little perk! I suppose because I don’t write for absolutely huge fandoms, that might take the pressure off. My advice is, remember you’re doing this for yourself, not other people, it’s an act of service rather than an expectation, and to not back down from worthy ideas!

23. Empathetic, imaginative and unpredictable. (It’s bloody hard to think about this from a perspective that isn’t self critical)

24. Rewatching the media I’m writing for, give myself a break and read fanfic or a classic book! That or listening to music.

25. Reading, horse riding, singing, piano, meditation, going to the gym, drawing and anything to do with theatre! I like to be kept busy whenever I can.

26. Depends on what I’m writing and how focused I want to be, I can, but I prefer to when I’m alone.

27. Definitely both writing dialogue and really getting to delve into a character’s emotions!

28. Either the editing, the tedious bit where you’re almost at the end but not quite, and trying to find lots of different ways to distinguish lots of main characters of the same gender!

29. Yes and no, I sometimes use song titles or little pieces of dialogue in the canon and/ or the fanfic itself - really varied story to story in my experience. Some are just more difficult than others, and go through various titles before settling on one.

30. ‘My Maude, My Viv.’

Steal Some Covers, Share Some Skin

On the eleventh day of Tropemas, hyperfixated-gvf gave to me: 

An “AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED” Josh fic combined with a certain request from a Nonnie.

Christmas Song Pairing: “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” by Bing Crosby

~~~

Pairing: Josh Kiszka x Reader

Warnings: Language, smut, voice kink, squirting, light overstimulation, kinda unedited, I’ll fix things as I over-criticize it 😂

Words: 5.9k

~~~

“Josh?”

You were still shaking snow off of your coat when you approached the curly-haired man in the white sweater hesitantly, not having seen the man you were looking to find for…well, a long time.

He glanced up from his phone, and smiled pleasantly, eyes drifting all over your face. “Y/N! It’s nice to see you, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

The bottom-heavy suitcase in your hand thumped upright as you took a rest, leaning on the locked handle. “Yeah, it has.” A small silence stretched between you as you took your phone out to check your ticket for the 20th time since you’d woken up. “Do you have your ticket?”

Josh nodded and tapped his screen a few times, tilting it towards you so that you could see the screenshot.

The whole situation was a little bit wonky – you didn’t know Josh all that well, he was just an acquaintance/friend of your friend’s that was travelling along the same route as you. Your friend knew that you hated travelling alone, so she’d sent a couple of texts, grouped you two in a chat, and bada-bing, bad-bam, bada-boom – you had a travel buddy.

And you did appreciate having him with you, despite not knowing him super well – you’d met a couple of times at various parties, events, and had even gone to one of his shows with your friend – you weren’t sure why he wasn’t travelling with his band, but that wasn’t your business, so you weren’t super concerned.

“Great! We should go get through security now, I guess.”

“Yeah.”

The wait in line was a little bit awkward, but not horrible – conversation was pretty much confined to small talk and a discussion of movies, books, and pop culture that you were both interested in. The wait was long and rather taxing, though – the holiday rush definitely not working to your favor, but you made it through, finally finding two seats in front of your gate.

“So, where have you been most recently, then?”

You finally started conversation up again after having spent the last half an hour doing body checks and wading your way through the crowds.

“Oh, we actually finished up a US tour just a few months ago. Since then, we’ve been petering around Nashville – writing songs and making plans and just…taking a small break.”

One leg was crossed over the other as you reclined in the seat. “Where are your brothers, then?”

Josh smiled. “Off doing their own things. Jake is flying home with Jita in a couple of days, Sam is already back home with Danny just hanging out with our families, and…I’m here,” he finished.

“Well, at least you—”

The rest of your sentence was cut off by the intercom, a voice announcing delays due to a snow advisory that was just put in place across the Midwest, and that flight times should be checked on the screens that were littered around boarding areas.

Knowing your destination, you ominously locked eyes with Josh and then stood up at the same time, walking over to a mounted screen that already had a crowd of people accumulating.

Delays for: Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky, and…shit. Michigan.

And not just by a couple of hours.

“You’re gotta be – eragh!”

Josh’s muttered exclamation was a sentiment you shared, looking at the board that was telling you that your flight was being delayed until 10 am the next day, when the snow advisory would hopefully lift.

You blew your own sigh out and ran your tongue over your teeth, making a game-plan for the next few hours. You’d have to text your parents, but that could wait until you found a hotel nearby – you really didn’t want to spend the night in the airport seats and force Josh to stay awake while you slept and then have to wake up so that he could, and you were already so exhausted.

Your phone pinged with the notification from the airline of the delay, along with a code for a free taxi to one of the hotels surrounding the airport.

And despite the inconvenience of the delay, you were grateful that the airline was trying to do something to compensate, even if the weather really was out of their control.

“Well,” Josh sighed, phone going off with assumedly the same message, “I guess we should go get a taxi, then.”

You made your way back across the airport, passing by the stupid security line that had taken you hours to get through.

There was a long line of shivering travelers lined up at the curb, taxis being loaded up and leaving nearly as soon as they pulled up. You grabbed the first of that you could for you and Josh after waiting 10 minutes to get to the front, and after showing the cab driver your code and processing his questions of, “Where to?”, told him that the hotel didn’t matter, just one that would get you guys a couple of rooms.

And looking back on it, you probably should have specified “not the one closest to the airport” because that would obviously be the one that filled up the quickest and would obviously be the one he took you to in order to transport as many people possible.

But you didn’t, so here you were, at the back of the line with even more people trickling in behind you, trying to keep up with the deluge of texts from your family and hoping to all things good and holy that you could get a room before they all filled up.

The head of curls in front of you was also talking quite animatedly on the phone, sighing out, “Look, I’m sorry, okay? Just…just tell Mom and Dad that I will be home, Y/N and I – no, no, Y/N is the friend I said I was flying with, she’s not – okay, well, if you stopped interrupting me, Samuel, maybe I could – you know what, fuck you, I’m hanging up.”

A long-suffering sigh escaped him and you chuckled, sending off you own text. “Taking a break probably doesn’t hold much weight when your band members are your brothers, does it?”

“You have no idea.”

You were slowly moving up in line, only three people left – two singles and one couple – and the front desk worker was looking wearier and wearier by the second.

“I just want a shower and a bed,” you sighed. “That’s all.”

Josh smiled. “We’ll get there. Eventually.”

The first person in line received a key and you took a couple steps forward. One single, one couple.

A few minutes later, one single.

Before she helped the customer, though, she looked apologetically at the line that was still extended nearly to the entrance. “Hey, everyone, I’m sorry, but we only have two singles left. It might be better if you started making plans at another hotel.”

There were grumbles and sighs, and immediately, most of the line dispersed, hoping to catch a stray cab. Josh turned to you, blowing a breath out. “Well, that’s not ideal, now is it?”

You huffed out a humorless laugh and pressed your eyes into the heels of your hands. “No, it’s not.” You only spent a second pitying your situation before you pulled out your phone, bringing up the Uber app. “But it is what it is. You get the room here, I’ll call an uber and go to one of the hotels nearby, and we can meet up at the airport again tomorrow.”

Josh looked taken aback for a moment, but immediately protested. “No, no, we can both find a different hotel – it’ll be easier to stay together now that we’re here.”

“Next?”

The front desk worker blinked and blushed a little bit as Josh glanced her way.

You were surprised that she had been the first person to physically recognize Josh – you figured there were others, but at a busy airport, there was only so much you could do. Still, you’d expected a few waves or glances thrown his way.

He turned back to you, lips twisted in thought. “Actually, hold on a sec.” Back to the front desk. “Hello there! You said you only had one single room left, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What kind of bed is it?”

The worker squinted and searched the screen. “One double.”

Josh nodded. “And would this room happen to have a pull-out couch? Or is there any way that a couple extra comforters could be delivered to the room?”

The worker frowned and clicked a few things on the desktop in front of her. “Let me see…oh! Okay, yes, it looks like this particular room does have a pull-out couch since it’s technically a suite.”

Josh clenched his fist in victory before meeting your eyes. “What do you say? It’s just one night, and it’s just a place to sleep. I’m tired, and I’m pretty sure you are too, and if this is what –”

“Let’s just take it,” you said, cutting Josh off. “You’re right, I’m so tired, and I really don’t care if I sleep on a pull-out couch or a waterbed at this point,” you laughed.

Josh smiled. “Don’t be silly, I’ll take the couch.”

You couldn’t argue back because he turned and gave the worker his information, taking his card out and waiting for the transaction to go through.

“Thank you,” you said softly, “for paying. I’ll Venmo you or something, just let me know how much the total is.”

Josh waved your off. “I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s no big deal, I got it. It’s only one bed, afterall.”

You smiled as Josh was handed the key. “Still.”

He returned your smile in response and then looked at the key. “Room 412,” he muttered, eyes searching for the elevators.

The ride up was quiet, exhaustion seeping into the late hour, nothing but the roll of wheels against worn carpet and the soft hum of the heating system accompanying the two of you to your room, Josh inserting the keycard into the reader on the door, the light beeping green.

“Home sweet home,” Josh sighed, flicking on the light.

It was noticeable immediately. The size of the room was not that of a suite, and there was no couch in sight – in fact, other than the standard bed, nightstand, and hutch with a TV and small coffee maker, the only furniture in the room was a scratchy-looking armchair in the corner of the room.

“Okaaaaay,” you drawled, “I’m gonna make a quick call to the front desk.”

Josh’s bottom lip was sucked in between his teeth. “Yeah.”

The dial tone to the front desk turned into elevator music, and you waited in silence for a few minutes until the worker picked up. “Hello, this is the front desk.”

The poor girl sounded frazzled to all hell, and you were sure with a full house, she was probably busier than ever, and you felt bad that you had to bring a problem like this to her.

“Ah, yes, hi. I’m currently in room 412, and my friend and I were informed that since it was a suite, it would have a pull-out couch, but there’s not one in here.”

There was a small pause. “And are you here on reservation?”

“No.”

“Okay. Well, and this is for certain my fault, because I had to be the one to tell you it was a suite, but I must have been looking at another room. I’m afraid we don’t have any more rooms available. I’m sorry, is there anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable?”

You pinched the bridge of your nose. “Uh. Do you have any extra comforters that could be sent to the room?”

“Yes. I can have one arranged to be delivered in a few minutes.”

“Okay, that would be great, thank you.”

Once you had hung the phone up, Josh raised his brows, waiting for the resolution. He still held his bag in one hand, ready to have to up and move out to another hotel.

You shrugged, sitting on the bed. “She said she must have been looking at the wrong room when she told us it was a suite, and of course there’s no other room we can move to. They’re gonna bring up an extra comforter, so if it’s okay with you, I’ll just make a little makeshift bed with the two comforters on the floor for tonight.” You already knew he was going to protest, so you shut him down before he could say anything. “You’re already paying for the room, so you get the bed. Now,” you said, standing up and ruffling through your suitcase, “I’m gonna go brush my teeth and everything, I’ll take a shower in the morning.”

Josh looked uncomfortable and like he wanted to say something, but set his bag down as you went to the bathroom.

You weren’t in there very long, maybe 10 minutes at most, and when you came back into the room, Josh was sitting, looking rather detached on the bed. When the door opened, though, he shot up.

“There was another mix-up,” he said lowly.

“Uh-oh. What was it this time?”

Josh pointed to the waffled blanket sitting folded on the end of the bed. “They don’t have any more comforters. I guess there were more people who had the same idea as we did.”

You eyed the double bed – considering what surely both of you had thought about over the course of your time at the hotel. “I mean—”

“Why don’t we—” Josh paused and cracked a smile when you both started talking at the same time. “Sorry. I was just gonna suggest – and I know we don’t know each other super well, but like, if you wanted to, because it would be a lot more comfortable than the floor, we could always just share the bed.”

You swallowed, playing cool even though your stomach was squirming a little with nerves. Only because you weren’t used to sharing a bed with anyone, much less a famous almost-stranger.

“Yeah. Yeah, that’s what I was about to say. We can do that – we’re not in middle school anymore,” you joked.

Josh left with his pajamas and toiletries, and you glanced at the bed, suddenly anxious.

Which side did he sleep on?

Would he care that you moved around in your sleep a lot – twisting and turning and such?

Would it be awkward trying to fall asleep?

You shook the thoughts out of your head, shuffling around aimlessly until Josh reappeared, glancing from you to the bed.

“…are you sure you’re okay with this?”

“Uh, yeah,” you said, eyes wide, “are you?”

“Definitely.”

The two of you stood there for a second longer, and you finally asked Josh, “So which side do you want?”

He smiled. “I usually take left, but it doesn’t really matter to me.”

You let out a chuckle that was mixed with a sigh of relief. “Sweet. I’m a right-sider. I do move around a lot, though, just a fair warning, sorry. It takes me a bit to fall asleep, and so I’ll start out on one side and then turn to the other and then my back and then my belly and then end up on the side I was originally on.”

He crossed the bed, setting his bag down on the floor and plugging his phone in before untucking the blankets and sheets and sliding under. You took the same actions, settling in and trying to ignore the strange feeling of the weight of another person next to you.

It wasn’t as awkward as you thought it would be, though – you’d been able to talk to him throughout the time you’d spent together, and he was a nice conversationalist, which is why the lamp stayed on for a couple hours after you got in bed talking about everything and nothing despite both of you having previously complained of your exhaustion.

“I don’t know where this second wind came from,” you chuckled, tapping the bedsheets with contained energy. “I really was so tired before, but now I can’t stop moving. Ants in my pants.” Josh laughed out loud, shifting next to you. You chuckled back, glancing at him with a smile. “What?”

“I’m not sure you really want to know,” he teased. “Just an old piece of gossip I heard somewhere along the road.”

You made the full turn towards him, curiosity prompting you to lean in closer. “Ooooo, tour gossip? Please, continue.”

The smirk on his face build anticipation, but the gleam in his eye told a different story. “Well, I’ve heard two different versions, one is a general version, the other…specific.”

“Tell me both,” you demanded, watching Josh’s expression brighten.

“You asked for it.”

“I did.”

He paused, eyes searching your face, and suddenly you had a small amount of difficulty breathing. Josh inhaled once before starting.

“Well, the specific one pertains to the feeling right before going on stage, when you know what’s going to happen but are still jittery, just a little nervous energy with nowhere to go. I won’t go into details, but—”

“No,” you complained, “I want details. I’m not a rockstar, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

You decided that if you wanted to be embarrassed for acting like you’d known the man for years instead of having met him in passing only a couple of times, you figured you’d do that later, but now, you were fully invested in what he was saying, and this was the most fun you’d had all day, particularly after the one you’d had.

Josh cocked his head, arching a brow and licking his lips. “You don’t want details, I promise. Some of the rockstars I’ve conversed and traded tips with are…salacious, and their particular pieces of advice and stories are less than savory,” he murmured, and the space between you became charged.

You met his eyes, controlling your breaths so that he wouldn’t pick up on the change. “I wanna know.”

He hummed, drawing the noise out before continuing. “Well, everyone has their vices, especially in the music world. Performing gives you a high, but instead of getting the jitters when you crave it, you get them when you have it in the palm of your hand. And, while there are healthy ways to deal with it, like meditating, talking to a friend – most of the time, those vices chase you, and being famous with money to spare, they’re available whenever you might need them.”

In that moment, you knew that you could have listened to him talk forever – voice low and slightly gravelly, methodical and soothing and hypnotizing. So you didn’t interrupt.

“Drugs, alcohol, a warm body, material objects, fame and fan worship – whatever it may be, most of the rockstars out there will tell you the same thing.”

“Mmm. What is it?”

His eyes lit up with mischief. “That little piece of advice I always hear – most of them, mostly men, will tell you that there’s nothing a woman’s mouth can’t fix, and that in our line of work, there’s always a willing one to be found somewhere.”

A high-pitched laugh bubbled out of your throat and you felt your neck warm with the beginnings of a blush. “How…charming,” you giggled, and he laughed right alongside you, a flush in his cheeks as well. The tension diffused marginally.

“Hey, you asked. And just as a disclaimer, I’m not one of those people – I don’t just use people like that.”

“Never?” you asked teasingly, and his blush heightened, words and excuses sputtering out before he redirected your attention.

“Stop prying,” he accused. “Don’t you want to know the other thing?”

You couldn’t help yourself. “I wanna know everything.”

Josh’s expression morphed into something that told you that you might regret asking.

Or not.

“Well, it’s a little more general. And a little dirtier.”

“You just told me that most rockstars get blowjobs before they go on stage, and definitely just exposed yourself, too, by the way—”

“I did not! I specifically said that I didn’t do that.”

You grinned. “Did too. Maybe not religiously like the other rockers, but you just couldn’t lie, could you,” you teased.

“I was young and had more people throwing themselves at me than I had ever had before,” he explained. “And as awful as it sounds,” he mumbled, eyes dropping, “it does work.”

Images flashed unbidden through your mind of what Josh would look like from below, from your knees – what faces he’d make and if you’d be able to see them from your position.

“I won’t tease anymore. Please, continue on,” you offered, settling in for what was shaping up to just be Josh putting you under a spell with nothing but his voice.

He collected himself, blush receding and laying his head back on the pillow. “I don’t know if I want to, anymore,” he pouted, but as soon as you started pleading with him to finish his second story, he rolled his eyes and relented. “Begging me to tell you the dirty tales I know? I’m not the only depraved one in this bed.”

You shrugged as best you could, lying on your side. “I never said you were,” you said simply, and Josh stared blatantly.

The tension was back.

“Well, then, if you insist.” You could have sworn you saw him shift his hips infinitesimally, but he started speaking again, and you focused in on his voice. “You were talking about ants in your pants – the second wind.”

“Yeah?”

“That’s sort of like the energy you get before a show. I said I’d heard two versions: there’s the blowjob, and then there’s the…extended edition. They always say that the nervous energy – ants in the pants, whatever you wanna call it – is just nature’s call to fuck.”

You blushed again, this time because you were now aware that when you said that, as innocently as you had meant it, to Josh, you’d basically admitted that you felt the need to fuck. Even though he hadn’t interpreted it literally, you understood why he’d started to laugh.

“They say that jitters is one thing, a milder sort of feeling, but that kind of energy is another. Therefore, jitters call for a blowjob, pent-up energy calls for a fuck. The all-encompassing feeling and exertion that comes with it, where you aren’t just the receiver, but a giver, as well. A full-body release,” he breathed, and you fell deeper into his words, the trance you were 100% certain had never happened before, even when you’d seen him in concert.

Your words were soft and genuine and dare you say suggestive. “You make sex sound euphoric, but in my experience, it’s incredible, but nowhere near as—"

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, fingers inching up from the blankets and gently dragging down your mouth, the pad of his middle finger catching your bottom lip, and you stopped talking at his boldness. He continued, “The transfer of your energy into another person in an explosion of cosmic relief – from the natural build-up of emotion and human desire and zeal for life itself. Everything fucks, it’s only natural.” His mouth twitched up in amusement at his reference. “And those rockstars, they never fail to deliberate on the matter, going further to make sure you know that that little piece of advice is applicable to any situation – anytime, anywhere, anyone.”

He noticed that you were no longer meeting his eyes, and that was because you didn’t want him to recognize any of the desire that you knew would be advertised in yours.

You let out a weak chuckle, very aware of his fingers, still poised on your chin. “Damn, rockstars really know how to tell it, don’t they?”

Josh hummed. “Not all of them. It takes a certain…incentive to draw those kinds of things out.”

His voice dropped a register and you couldn’t keep your eyes off his lips. “Incentive, hmm?”

“Everyone always wants something. Incentive for them, perhaps incentive for yourself.”

He shifted closer, feet tangling with yours, and you ran your arch up his calf. “And what is it that you want, Josh?”

Your faces neared each other, and you wanted to kiss him, so badly. You could tell he felt the same.

“Only what you want,” he admitted.

You thought back to his words, how he described sex and wondered if he was just buttering you up, making it sound other-worldly just so that you’d want him or if that’s really how he perceived it.

“I want you to show me sex as you know it. Right now, right here, with me.”

He caught your lips as soon as you finished your sentence, your bodies beginning to wrap around each other like a flower in reverse bloom – legs and lips and hips and chests and arms all coming together like one disfigured being.

Josh took the upmost care peeling your pajamas off your body, his eyes rarely leaving yours, and you wondered, if having to give an answer, if his voice or the intensity of his eyes were more mesmerizing.

“Just focus on me, Y/N, I’ll show you the best I can. Best I can,” he promised, his pajamas joining yours on the floor.

His fingertips grazed your skin, lighting the nerves up for a fleeting moment and then leaving to skate across another expanse of skin, electrifying your entire body in anticipatory energy. You were rather occupied with his lips to watch, so each touch was a surprise, and in no time, he had you asking for more, body starting to warm up and require a heavier caress for stimulation.

“More, Josh, please, more,” you breathed, returning each touch with one of your own, moving your body in tandem with his.

“I’m right there with you, sweetheart, don’t worry.”

You huffed out a soft laugh. “Not worried. Just wanting.”

Josh rectified the fact with a flick of his thumb across your nipple, trailing his hands down your body, heavier and with intent. The energy you’d been holding in your body was exacerbated by Josh’s hands and mouth, tension building and building from his hands touching you everywhere but where you needed him, mouth following closely behind.

“Josh,” you whined, squirming in protest from his ministrations that were not relieving you.

“We’ll get there. If you want to feel what I feel, you need to feel the energy. Let it run through you, don’t try to fight it.”

You tried to even out your breathing, re-tuning your attention to your entire body rather than the dull pulse of arousal at your center. There was still a pull of energy and arousal trying to draw you back, though, but you held onto Josh’s request, letting the tension roll through you.

“Good. Now, just – feel.” He worked you over then, mouth on your neck, breasts, collarbones, pulse – anywhere he could reach. His fingers teased through your wetness before sinking into you, pausing when you clenched around him. “Relax, Y/N, don’t fight it – work with it.”

It wasn’t necessarily a new sensation, but you were experiencing it in a new way, and the difference was, well, strange and erotic and pleasurable all at the same time. He added another finger, curling them into your G-spot, and forcing you to relax every time your body wound itself too tightly.

After a few more minutes of letting the pleasure and endorphins rush throughout your body, Josh withdrew his fingers. “Can I fuck you, Y/N?” he asked softly, kisses peppered all over your torso.

You nodded, giving your consent and brushing your fingers down all the sensitive spots you knew, keeping the thrum of pleasure vibrating through your nerves as Josh rummaged through his bag for a condom.

When he slid back into the bed, he was naked and the condom was in place.

“Come here for a second,” he prompted, and you leaned up to him, kissing him deeply once more. Josh trailed his fingertips down to your hips, twisting lightly. “Roll over, sweetheart,” he cajoled, “on your hands and knees.” You went willingly, fighting the urge to rest your head on the pillows. You felt the bed shift, then Josh pressed flush against your ass. “Relax.”

The nudge of his cock against you, and then the pressure as he pressed forward came, and you welcomed it, welcomed him.

Deep breaths, letting all the lights from them different nerves – the pleasure, the pain, the dull stretch that wasn’t either – all flashing like strobe lights through your body. You weren’t focused on that one point of contact, you were aware of Josh’s lips on your shoulder blade, one of his palms running down your arm and one your hip, the scrape of him against your back.

And it felt exquisite.

Like the pleasure was coursing through your blood – spreading to the very tips of your fingers. Without the concentration on your center, you were able to feel it everywhere. Full-body, just as Josh had described.

Eventually, Josh leaned back up on his knees, changing the angle and rhythm of his movements, his cock catching your G-spot as he pulled back.

He was panting softly behind you, a rather quiet lover – you loved his voice so much, you wouldn’t have been opposed to his lips at your ear, words meant for your pleasure spoken in low tones, but you’d take what you could get. And since you were so attuned to his every touch, the flex of his fingers and stutter of his thrusts were just as fine a means of communication as words.

Josh’s hand wandered once again, sliding up your spine, slow and sensual. You really hadn’t ever thought of that particular part of your body as erotic, but Josh was in the process of convincing you otherwise.

Until he pulled out completely.

You felt the loss of him pointedly, the flow of pleasure disrupted.

“No, no – Josh, come on,” you whined, trying to find him again.

He reappeared next to your face, swallowing your cries down with his lips on yours. “Just changing positions,” he promised, laying back on the pillows. You took the initiative and straddled him, tightly wound again in pursuing your objective to get Josh back inside you. Josh’s absence had made you very aware that you had been well on your way to climax – not desperately close, but close enough that you felt empty and under-stimulated without Josh touching you.

Without any pomp and circumstance, you lined him up and sat down, taking him all at once. The relaxed, collected approach Josh had been keeping you under was interrupted for a moment as Josh hissed sharply, hands flying to squeeze your hips as you began to ride him, fast and hard and forgetful of how Josh had instructed you to feel everything, everywhere. You had reverted back to chasing your high instead of feeling it in the moment and letting it come to you.

“Oh, Y/N, fuck – darling, baby, slow down. Remember what I – I –“ He moaned then when instead of listening to him, you just rode him harder, wanting more of those beautiful sounds.

But you were unsuccessful – Josh gripped your hips with enough strength to stop your rhythm, guiding you to a slower pace.

“Josh,” you complained, and he chuckled breathlessly.

“It’s gonna be worth it, I promise. You were doing so well, Y/N, let’s go back to that; remember, work with yourself, not against. We’ll get there eventually; let’s just feel what we’re feeling now.”

You took a deep breath and recentered yourself, listening to your body and Josh’s. Grinding down put pressure on your clit, enough to feel restart the path of pleasure, and from there, it was an experimentation of figure 8s, up and down, rocking, letting Josh thrust up into you in gratifying collaboration.

This time, Josh wasn’t as quiet – murmuring praises and curses, words of encouragement and guidance – and you soaked it all right up, integrating it into your arousal. A familiar anticipatory sensation started building within you.

“Josh, I – I’m almost there,” you huffed. The escalation of your pleasure had been gradual and all-encompassing and slow, but no less intense than what you’d get by the fast, relentless pursuit of it.

Josh grunted, snapping his hips up harshly, a stark contrast to the pace you’d been indulging in. “I – me too, Y/N. I’m there, I’m gonna come, but I promise I’m gonna make you come, too, baby, I promise,” he babbled, and you believed him.

“Okay,” you panted, pulling out every trick in the book to make it good for him. He gave one last, strangled moan and then twitched inside of you, hips sporadically pushing up.

“Keep – keep going,” he cried out, sweat beaded on his forehead. “Keep going, please.”

“Is that –“ you furrowed your brow, “is that something you want? We can finish me off once you pull out.”

Josh shook his head desperately. “No! No, I like it, it’s something I’m into – please, just – just keep going.” A flush of heat ran through you at the admission of one of his kinks, and you started moving again.

He shakily brought his hand to where you were connected, where you were still riding him, post-orgasm, before shifting upwards and pressing circles into your clit. The added stimulation ramped up the feeling of impending release, but it was different from all the other times you’d come, by your own means or someone else’s. It was building, almost physically from within you, and you gasped as the pleasure started rolling through more intensely, tipping you over the point of no return. You tried to keep relaxed, just as Josh had instructed, but the instinctive jerk of your hips was difficult to repress.

“That’s it, Y/N, just like that,” Josh murmured, voice breaking, and you came, pleasure plugging up your throat and only allowing breathy, choked moans out, hips shifting and rolling as you clenched around him, and a burst of wetness more than you’d ever felt before soaked your thighs as you peaked.

Josh let out a long, low groan. “Fuuuuuck,” he vocalized, throwing his head back, “there it is.”

You collapsed, boneless, on top of Josh, and he gently rolled you both over, pulling out with a tortured hiss and cry. He had to have been overstimulated at that point.

You both stayed quiet, basking in the rush of endorphins and catching your breath before either of you moved. Josh rolled the condom off carefully, wrapping it in a tissue, and then took a few more, swiping them as best he could across your thighs.

“I’ve never done that before,” you admitted quietly.

Josh tried to repress a proud smile, but failed. “Experienced cosmic relief?” he asked, exhaustion seeping back into his features.

You giggled, eyes heavy. “I think you just have a way with words, but it was…something else. Memorable, for certain. And before you ask, yes. Some of the best sex I’ve had.”

“Good,” Josh said, satisfaction settling into his expression. There was a moment you thought you might both go to sleep, but then you became very aware of something.

“You know, we might want to switch out this blanket,” you said. And Josh hummed in agreement, the both of you rolling out of bed, out of the wet spot underneath you.

Josh held up the extra blanket that was originally supposed to be a comforter. “This’ll work, right?”

You nodded, beginning to strip the sheets. “Yeah, definitely.” Josh joined in, peeling the material off the bed.

“See? They had ended up having exactly what we needed.”

Note: Lordy lordy only one tropemas fic left (thank goodness). This was inspired by the anonymous request:

“ I feel like.... personally....you could probably write a great squirting fic. That seems like something you posess. “

Idk, I hope I didn’t disappoint, you’ll have to be the judge of that, Nonnie ;)

Hunger Games au

previous chapter: Chapter 3

next chapter: Chapter 5

Pairings: Peter Maximoff x fem!reader

Disclaimer: The story is wrote in third person as I'll add other point of views outside the arena. Also, romance will began later in the book, as the characters won't immediately interact!

Chapter Four: Training Session

warnings: mention of fighting and knives

summary: first day of training, and y/n seemed to already have found an ally in the last person she'd expected to.

a/n: a bit obvious and cliché, i know, sorry. My original idea was to make an enemies to lovers kinda trope, but i gave up at the end. sorry :,)

two more chapters and in the arena we goo

Darwin was right: the shower was amazing. 

After the three washing they gave her before the parade she had taken another one before going to sleep and after she woke up, and made sure to fully enjoy it. Having clean hot water dripping directly over her head was probably one of the best feelings she had ever experienced. 

She closed her eyes and let the water run on her face, as she gently rubbed her hair. For how long could she have enjoyed those small things? The showers, the food, the fancy dresses, even that dark beverage that if she remembered well was… Coffee? Yes, yes it was coffee. 

She didn't like the taste the first time, but now during breakfast Charles told her to try it with a bit of milk. She didn't quite get how exactly it was made or the name, but she admitted it was better than the last one. 

"Did you sleep well?" Darwin asked her. She nodded, but deep down he knew that she was lying, and she knew that too. Besides, he had a terrible sleep too. As Effie poured more… tea? In her cup, she spoke to both of them. "First day of training! How are you two excited?" 

They shared worried looks, not knowing what to answer. "Effie, why don't we talk about how they impressed everyone yesterday? What's your response?" Charles changed the subject, which they were very grateful for. "Like I said yesterday, you were wonderful! What Emma did with you two surely left the sign, it's not every time you see a District 12 tribute dressed that properly for a parade!" 

Y/n preferred not commenting on how that could have been considered offensive instead of being a compliment, and she just thanked her. She knew that deep down Effie wasn't being mean or anything, and she seemed to actually care about her and Darwin. 

Darwin too just thanked her and smiled, immediately turning to her to give her a knowing look, that made her understand they were thinking almost the same thing. 

A few hours later they were being dragged to the training center, where they would have spent the following five days. Y/n wasn't really listening to the woman explaining the rules such as "Don't attack each other, you'll have plenty of time for that in the arena", she was too busy observing the other tributes. 

She had already seen the favorites, Scott, Ororo, Kurt and Rogue. Truth be told Kurt looked even more scared than her, and she wondered if he'd actually be a threat to her during the Games. She came to the conclusion that he'd probably be anyway if he went with the other three, which he would probably have. 

She didn't know much about the other tributes, the male form 11 seemed very strong, and so did the guy from 5 and 7. The speech was finally done, and so they all parted to start they're training. 

She noticed that Darwin was going to the fight spot, but she kept observing. Excluding Ororo and Rogue, the other girls looked pretty much "weak", and they would have hardly made a serious danger in the arena.

But then she remembered what Charles had told her on the train, and how that was probably how she looked in their eyes, and they obviously didn't know about how good she was with knives. She shook her head and decided to go trying to do the knots. She was already good at it, giving that back to the District she did it often, but she still decided to give it a try. 

She passed by the couple from the six, who were fighting over how to make a decent bait. She met the eyes of the girl, and she shyly smiled at her. Why would she do that? She had no idea, but she didn’t even have the time to smile back that she was already resuming her argument with her companion. 

She kept walking to the trap-making desk just to find it already occupied by Peter Magnus. "The President’s son is already so good at fighting that he goes straight to the trap uh?" God did she really say that? 

He turned to face her, embarrassed blush covering his cheeks.  "And I'm not really good at it apparently. Are you?" He asked her, trying to hide his embarrassment with the only way he knew: flirt. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I'd rather not tell everyone what my specialities are, that would just benefit the others and not me." He chuckled in response. "True. You know my name but I don't know yours. Would knowing your name benefit me too?" 

She shakes her head. "Guess not. Y/n Grey."

"Beautiful name for a bea-"

"Don't you even try."

She stopped him. He raised his hands in surrender and looked around. "Where's your friend?" He asked. "Fighting. Yours?" His eyes started scanning the room looking for Lorna. "Ah, there. With knives." 

She followed his look to the black haired girl aiming for the targets. She was really good at it, even more than her. 

And no matter what happens, do not compare yourself to the other tributes. You are an amazing hunter and great with knives, don't let yourself down. 

Her mother's last words were more harsh than Jean's one for sure, but certainly useful. 

She was good at throwing knives just as that girl, maybe even better. "Thinking much?" She kept staring at the girl without answering, and then totally changed the subject. "It must be hard for your sister." His smile dropped for a few seconds, just to reappear an instant later. "It is. But at least she's not the one in here and trust me, I prefer it like this." Y/n had to admit she wasn't expecting that answer.

Not that she didn't believe he had any feelings but, for sure she had thought he'd be more selfish than what he was showing. 

"She's up there." He signed, directed to the room where all the gamemakers stayed. And there she was, wearing the most beautiful red dress she ever saw. Honestly, she was incredibly beautiful herself. "Woah. Your sister's hot." She commented. Peter frowned. "I guess? I never exactly stopped thinking about how hot my sister is." He joked, making her laugh.

"Fair enough." She looked at him, meeting his eyes again. She then thought that maybe he could know something about the other tributes, and tried asking him about the girl who smiled at her previously. "Uh, that's Kitty Pride if I'm not wrong, from District 6. And the guy's name is Bobby." He explained. "He volunteered for a kid, it was very touching." He said, still working on his trap.

She raised an eyebrow. "You talked to them?" "No, I just saw their reaping ceremony. And,  between you and me, I got to look in the files of the gamemakers. A lot of stuff about everyone, you included dear." He said winking. 

Well that was interesting. Sure, what he did was probably against the rules but, now that he already did it why couldn't she take advantage of that? Besides, Peter seemed like a nice guy. 

Seems.

"Alright I have an idea. You tell me everything you know about the tributes, and I help you set up a trap and give you some personal survival tricks. Deal?" "So you do know how to make one." "Deal?" She repeated again. He accepted without even thinking about it.

"Ok so, I suppose you already know the ones from District 1 and 2?" She nodded. "There's nothing much more to say about them other than they're lethal but Alex, the mentor of the first District, is Scott's brother. And Raven, mentor of District two? Apparently she is Kurt's and Rogue's mom, but she left them because she had them at a too young age. Ok ok, this one is just a Capitol rumor, no idea if it's true." He cared to add when he noticed her unconvincing expression.

"Then, uhm, let's see. Ah, Jubilee, District 5. Her family isn't as poor as one would think by how skinny she is, and she's very fast. Oh and be careful with Warren, District 3. He could easily become a deathly threat with the smallest sword."

He went on and on with all the tributes and even if the information wasn't much, now the girl felt like she had a bigger advantage over the other tributes. A much bigger one. Finally Peter stopped at District 11 and, even if she fought the urge of asking the whole time, she eventually gave up and went with it. "And about me? And Darwin?" 

He chuckled. "Darwin's family work at the market, not the best but he manage to survive. You… your father died, you live with your mom and sister, too old to play in the Games." She looked down, a wave of sadness rushing over her at the mention of her family.

He probably understood his mistakes because he immediately apologized. "Sorry, didn't mean to-" "No it's fine." She lied.

She just wanted to drop the subject and talk about anything else, and she was thankful for Peter because he didn't brought it up again once she started teaching him how to prepare a small animal trap. "I knew you were good at this. He teased, making her shake her head. 

What in the world she was doing? Befriending him? He was an enemy, just a few nights before she promised herself she would have killed him if she had to. And now they were having a normal conversation like two old time friends do?

This wasn't her at all. She had to wake up from that state the boy put her into before it was too late. And yet, she couldn't help the words that escaped her mouth.

"You know Magnus, you're not as bad as i though." "Back at you, Grey."

This Week In BL

January 2021 Part 4 

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs.

Ongoing Series Thai

You Never Eat Alone Eps 1-6 - not BL, too weird for me. Only recommended if you really love YYY’s style.  

Manner of Death Ep 10 - things are looking grim for our heroes, they’ve been shot and jumped off cliffs - as they should. Still fun. 

Cupid Coach Ep 3 - we got some actual plot at last, but it’s rough going, I might be checking out of this one. 

Gen Y Ep 12 FINALE - ended, not with a bang but with a: whaaat just happened? (Series recap here.) 

TharnType 2 Ep 12 FINALE - ended, it was fine. The actual TharnType wedding will be released as a special ticketed streaming event because... BEAT THAT DEAD HORSE, BEAT IT! 

1000 Stars Ep 1 - we are in proper drama territory at last, this is gonna be fun, not very tropey, but FUN. (Remember UWMA is my favorite BL, I like a heavy lifter.) 

Ongoing Series Not Thai

We Best Love: No. 1 For You Ep 4-5 (Taiwan) - singing the feels (one of my least favorite tropes) does not stop this show from being unfairly adorbs. Confession & rejection time. The TONE on this BL is just so pitch perfect. I love them both so much, but Sam Lin is a fantastic actor. Also GOOD KISS. 

To My Star Ep 4-6 (Korea) - pivoted hard and went all in on BL, we stan a gay af boy, even if he is a weirdo - especially when he is a weirdo. Plus grumpy/sunshine is one of my favorite combos. However, it still doesn’t make ANY sense. But hell, Gen Y just ended in utter chaotic confusion. Do we need sense from BL? Do we need it from life? I don’t know anymore. I don’t know about anything... help me. 

You Are Ma Boy Ep 4 (Vietnam) - no eng subs for the first few days but they eventually dropped; pacing still good, we had a seme confession and an uke panicked freeze out. (Not sure on the total # of eps as MyDramaList doesn’t include Vietnamese shows, but my feeling is 6-8.) 

Stand Alone  

The Boy Foretold by the Stars (2020 Pinoy Film currently on YouTube, catch it now, it’s hard to find) based on a play this has (miracles of miracles) and out femme gay main character who meets the bi jock of his dreams in Catholic school. In classic coming-of-age fashion this is more about identity, friendship, and first love than it is a true BL (like I Told the Sunset About You). I struggled with the religious themes but if God (with a MASSIVE G) is okay with you then you’ll probably enjoy this. 

Gossip

Honestly what universe are we in where Korea and Taiwan are knocking BL out of the park and Thailand keeps dropping the flipping ball? What’s happening 2021? I am so confused. 

I really hope Taiwan can get their secondary distribution in order and go with reconfigured movie style (like Korea) with sub rights to Netflix or something. I enjoy seeing Rakutan taking on Netflix & Prime but their Vikki platform is pants. We Best Love would make a GREAT little movie, I hope it does and I hope it sells like gangbusters. 

Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.
