Okay, this should have been done in 2K17 by myself, but the real life says "no". Anyway, better late than never!
Thank you @polygonbeach for uploading this very important and useful edit!
First of all, I apologize to everyone who might have been suffer from the infamous Pink Soup flashing. I never have one in my game, I used that skies for years, and such a HQ skyboxes based on my own game experience. But the resolutions of the totalitarian skies' textures sometimes are actually quiet huge:
- 2048x2048 px for Gray, Rise, Latte, and Tower - 2048x512 px for ACII, Wind, Star, and Alfsi - 4096x1024 px (!) for Day, Pink, and Night (only for lot-sky)
I have edited the original post to add info and a link. And I promise I’ll upload optimised lot skybox variants ASAP!
The reason why I prefered that size was pixelization. The maxis' skies use simple gradients, so it was not such a big problem, but detalised cloud textures requiered the higher resolution because of texel. I uses the original textures, converted from You Are Empty, Assassin's Creed, and the Sims 4 (the Alfsi ones) - the games from the late 00th-early 2010th, so I sure that 2048x is suits ok for TS2. (maybe the few 4k skies that I made in 2k17 as experimental recolors were excessively, I admit it).
So, variety is always good and it's good to have a choice. Thank you!
P.S. I confused but the polycont of skydome in your version is the same as original (1920 polys for the cross-skydome for example).
🌴Lowedeus' Neighbourhood Skies optimised (reduced texture sizes)🌴
(cleaning my desktop up and want to post this, sorry for the lame preview but i cba lol)
so this is an optimisation of those hood skies by lowedeus. if you encounter pink flashing, then these are for you! these skies are often listed in sims 2 starter packs and not many people realise how much of a toll it has on your game, being at 4k texture sizes. they are a staple for the game tho so thats why i optimised it
a general disclaimer is that if you use custom skies and horizon mods, they are one of the biggest offenders of pink flashing as those use HUGE texture sizes!!
all i did here was shrink the textures to some better sizes, like 1024x512 and 512x512 (the texture sizes here were different so thats why they're not the same)
it will overwrite the original files (these wont work with the others)
eta: these are not for simnopke's skies, but the originals are tagged above
another not eta: the original maxis sky is 512px only, that's what inspired me to do this as there's no reason why other textures can't be that size too

We’ve come to the end of 2017, my precious flowers (or should I said diamonds? 👀) Anyway. I’ll be honest with you and say that 2017 was one hell of a year for me. I’ve been through a lot. I’ve lost important people to me but found a lot of other people who were kinder; I’ve had relationships crumble and watched them come together again; I’ve fallen and gotten back up again multiple times and through everything, I eventually came out stronger. I really couldn’t have done it without the support that I got from a lot of you. Most of you guys honestly held me together when I was at my worst and I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. I hope that in 2018 our friendships will continue and grow stronger. I love you all so much ♡ So here is a thank you...
Mind that this might get hella long, so if you’d like just Ctrl + F and find your username. This isn’t alphabetically sorted bcuz my motivation died with the follow forever.
@gamegirlhorror Tiffany. Honestly, the sheer amount of support and love that I’ve received from you is more than enough to fill the entire universe (that is constantly expanding, mind you.) I love you SO much! I can’t believe it’s been so long since we’ve known each other. Like, it blows my mind. I still remember following you only because I thought your icon of pyramid head was cute lol and I still remember you being neongreenraver :,) There isn’t a moment that goes by where I don’t miss our skype sessions and constant talks but the fact that you’re out there earning and working towards a better life makes me feel content. I love how no matter how busy you are you always find time to listen to my shit even though I know you have a lot of your own. You always put me first and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. There’s a lot more I would say but this is getting long rip. I love you, my princess peach, I love you so very much. 💚
@wonnwoo Rina. It hasn’t even been a year since we’ve met and yet we became one of the closest people to each other. You really are my Ohana hah :,) I want to thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin and helping me get up on my feet when I was at my worst, even if it meant scolding me. I appreciate every word and ounce of effort you put into this relationship. Thank you for showing me a different perspective of every situation and thank you for trusting me with so many things. You were never a shitty friend to me, not once. You are a friend I will always treasure and someone I will be there for as much as I can. Here’s to many more years of friendship, bby. I love you! 💝
@baekbyun Doro. My sissy, my chucci, my meme child LOL. You angel. I’ve never told you this but you’ve taught me a lot of things without even realizing it. You’ve taught me to be kinder and more patient, to be tougher and to be more positive. Truly, I strive to be kinder, like you. It hasn’t been that long and we’ve already been through a lot. I thank you so much for sticking with me through the good and bad times, for listening to me always, for never taking sides and being rational, for keeping my secrets and helping me get through different situations, for being someone with whom I could be myself with and being someone I could trust. I look forward to the day I finally get to see you, give you a big hug and roll my eyes while you dab as we go get two different pizzas cuz u a pineapple hater :P I love you, sissy. 💖
@kihyuns Cass. My smol genius as I would call you lol but it doesn’t seem like it fits anymore because over the course of this year you’ve grown a lot in my eyes. I still remember you before graduation and how worried you were about college, etc and look at you now! It was a pleasure being your friend through graduation, etc. We’ve been through a shitton over a short time but I’m glad we chose to stick together and work it out despite our differences. You’re just as stubborn and feisty as I am so it’s only normal that we clash sometimes. Nevertheless, I always enjoy our talks no matter how small and insignificant! I love your humor and how you’re ready to “block” everyone xD I love how we’re both so into SpongeBob we can sing every song backwards LOL. I look forward to many more years of humorous friendship. Love you, nerd 💛
@mnanvg Moon. My lovely Moon, you’re such a soft human being it warms my heart. The amount of love you radiate is incredible and I appreciate it more than I ever told you. Thank you for never hesitating to remind me how much you love me, how good of a friend I am, how much I should love myself, etc. Thank you for the endless, wordless support. We don’t talk much and yet I’ve never felt like you’re a bad friend for lack of communication. On the contrary, you can show me how much you care by sending me a few posts. I wish you all the best, sweetheart. I look forward to seeing you grow stronger and achieve your dreams. I love you 💗
@tookorean Jackie. (I realize that you’re not active on tumblr anymore but I couldn’t not include you.) My completely opposite, my female Woozi & so many others things to me. You know how much you mean to me but no matter how many times I say it I won’t be able to truly express it. When I first met you I never imagined that our friendship would go on for this long and that we would go through a lot over a short time. I truly, from the bottom of my heart thank you for sticking with me no matter what and being patient with me and caring for me even though I’ve been...well, a mess. I remember a moment from back when we first became friends and you’d talk about your Totoro onesie. I’d made a post that I was crying over Vernon (lol) and you’d replied with “Baby don’t cryyyyyy tonight” and proceeded to try and cheer me up, telling me you loved me and telling me how it was okay for me to cry on your onesie... Those little moments are something I’ll cherish forever. I want us to stay friends for a long, long time, honestly. I hope we can pull through, fam. I love you so much 💙
@hansolmates Cami. Mah Cami baby, my sol ~ I just realized it’s been over a year since we became friends (aka bonded over your hansolmates fic heheh.) I still remember reading it the 1st time and thinking “omg PISTACHIO ICECREAM” lmao and ofc I remember binge-reading all your Vernon fics cuz I biased AF back then (istg i still love my boy). OMG remember when we lowkey declared war on each other for Vernon? Wow. Good times lol. I want to thank you for helping me with writing and inspiring me. I want to thank you for never judging me for my feelings and supporting me, fangirling with me and being easy going which made me feel like i could tell you anything. Thank you for being a sweetheart to me and being my Sol :,) Here’s to another year of our wonderful friendship! Love you, bby 💜
@daihun Jess. My video game buddy and cry buddy :,D I never thought I’d be able to find a person who loves k-pop and video games as much as I do (especially the same videos games wow.) I have so much fun talking to you on a daily basis! Thank you for sending me Joshua pics and sharing video game jokes with me. I remember, before we started talking, I’d relate to your posts so much and your aesthetic was A+ so I was like “I’ve gotta talk to her sometime” and I’m glad we finally did. I would love to get to know you better & I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER T^T I love you ❤️ I gUeSs 👀😂
@joshpup Hannah. MY NU’EST HYPE BUDDY! I’m so glad we have Joshua and Nu’est to scream over tbh. It’s a perfect combination! I’ve had so much fun talking to you for this short time and I hope we can talk even more in the future! I love how we both caved in and bought signed Nu’est albums cuz #SUPPORT ammrite?! And how we cried when they got their first win omg. Good times, good times! I look forward to sharing more tears with you over Joshua and Nu’est LOL.

@boovely Cathy. Girl, it hasn’t been long at all but look at us having a streak on snapchat already lol. Honestly, you’re the only person who I have a solid streak with. I’ll shut up about streaks now. Thank you for being the #1 fan of my zodiac gfx haha~ I love how we bonded over that. Svt does indeed bring people together! It’s been fun talking to you and seeing your lovely face on a daily basis :D I look forward to skyping you sometime and I hope to see you back on tumblr as well. Thank you for being my friend! I love you 💓
@verngyu Dee. My fellow Capricorn! It’s been fun talking to you. I like how I can talk to you about certain things without thinking twice because I know you won’t judge me, and you know what I mean by certain things. I like how caring you can be and I hope you stay that way. I look forward to seeing you grow and I wish you all the best, truly. This sounds like a goodbye letter omg lol I’m sorry! Here’s to a new year of growing together, mentally and physically xD Love you 💜
@vitaminniedk Viv. My sunshine :,) You’re legit a walking ray of sunlight I cannot. You’re so sweet and kind, bless you. It’s been a pleasure being your friend. I would honestly love to talk to you more~ I know I can be super awkward sometimes excuse me ^^’ but I enjoy our talks nevertheless! I remember when we spent a couple hours watching going svt on youtube in the summer haha. I enjoyed that! Here’s to a new year of friendship. Love you, sunshine 💛
@wooziology Isabelle. My Potato 🥔 (that is literally the title I have for you on my sc LOL.) Your love for Woozi could beat world hunger, just sayin’. Thanks for being my friend and my potato ahaha.

I just want to say, if you’re not included, don’t feel discouraged because I will most likely come to you in private and tell you everything 1 on 1. To those who have really been my friends and stuck with me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Friendships mean a lot to me, and those closest to me know that very well. Thank you once again! Here’s to a better next year!

parallel lines
AN: Hello hello @convenientalias !! I am your secret santa this year! :D I saw that you particularly like canon-divergent fics and decided to go off on that and do a slow reveal between these dorks :') Hope you enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
Giant thanks to @mlsecretsanta for organizing this enormous event!
EDIT: I also must thank @ming85 5 billion times over for helping me out with this fic and for kicking my writer’s block square in the butt. You’re a star!! <3
( AO3 )
1. they say, seeing is believing.
“Could you pass me the icing please?”
Adrien bends down close, melding his personal space with hers, but Marinette leans into it and hands him the bag of icing sugar lying beside the gingerbread house she’s decorating. Another time, she would have blushed uncontrollably at the way her fingers brush his, and she would have thought of literally nothing else for the next few glorious days moments.
Instead, she has to do everything in her power to not drop her gaze to where the breast pocket of his jacket lies beneath his apron. She can see the slight bump in the fabric anyway, out of the corner of her eye.
She’s seen him. The kwami.
The black cat kwami.
(She could’ve chalked up Adrien walking out of the same alleyway she saw Chat duck into after a particular harrowing akuma attack as a funny coincidence, but then the punchline came zooming out of his jacket pocket demanding cheese, and she knew.)
Which means…
Instead of decorating, Marinette leans back a little and openly watches Adrien as he concentrates on piping eyes and a mouth on the little fondant figure he’s sculpted. His tongue sticks out just the littlest bit, and his tousled hair glitters with the sugar that exploded over him from Tom greeting him with a great bear hug earlier.
It’s as subtle as a shift of light, but now that she knows what to look for, it’s as clear as day and night.
She sees Chat as clearly as she sees Adrien.
His eyes focus entirely on the task at hand, but her gaze seems to nudge at him until he looks up at her.
Marinette’s breath catches in her throat as those brilliant green eyes blink slowly at her.
(She wonders if she could make him purr.)
“Am I doing this right?” Adrien asks, a shy, uncertain smile growing on his face in light of her unwavering stare.
Another time, Marinette would have babbled to the ends of the earth to assure him he’s doing grape- no, gorgeous- no, great, and she likely would’ve knocked everything off the table in the process. But the bump in his jacket pocket is there, and he looks far too reserved for the friend, and partner, and so much more that she knows him to be to her so-
“It’s purr-fect,” Marinette declares, winking as she taps his nose. Like flicking a switch, Adrien’s face lights up with a familiar mischievous grin.
“It is, isn’t it,” he agrees with exaggerated pride as he holds up his handwork. One eye is smudged and the smile wobbles on one end, but the iced blue pigtails and pretty pink fondant outfit makes it undeniably Marinette. “I’m sure you could get bread-er if you didn’t loaf around so much.”
“Oh, you don’t want to start that with me,” Marinette smirks. “At the very yeast, save yourself or else you’ll be toast.”
Laughter blooms from her chest, as light and airy as cotton candy, and it grows ever bigger as Adrien seems to do a double take at the easy way she volleys puns back at him. He flounders for a moment, clearly teetering between bemusement and delight before relaxing into an easy smile she’s seen hundreds of times, framed in black leather and shared high up among the rooftops.
“Well,” Adrien sighs theatrically, “I guess that’s just the way the cookie crumbles then.”
Marinette’s hand instinctively stutters to her hip, her fingers searching for the tiny purse that cradles Tikki. Her too-loud laugh hastens to cover her transition to grabbing a fistful of chocolate chips on the table.
“Careful what you wish for!” Marinette teases.
It takes a second for Adrien to realize what she means, but a second is all she needs to launch said chocolate chips at him. Glee lances through his eyes before he lunges forward, mouth open and aimed at the delicious projectiles. A few bounce off his face, and more evade him still as they fly to land softly in his hair.
She flicks one more. He goes cross-eyed in his attempt to catch it- and luck lands it squarely on his waiting tongue.
They both freeze, absolute surprise mirroring across both their faces, before Marinette breaks it with a cheer. Adrien fist pumps into a dramatic victory pose and it’s pure Chat, through and through. Her willpower pushes down the natural instinct to fistbump him, and she settles for grinning broadly at him instead, sharing in the victory.
“That’s definitely my hardest accomplishment of the day,” Adrien laughs, his cheek puffing out as he sticks the chocolate chip to the side to suck on.
“Sculpting me definitely didn’t take you all day and was the easiest then, wasn’t it.”
“Piece of cake,” Adrien grins. “Actually more like, the icing on top of the cake.”
He gestures to the magnificent gingerbread house taking up most of the kitchen table. Its candy cane balcony and translucent sugar glass storefront windows makes it a close replica to the bakery and her home.
“I think the house is pretty much decorated,” Marinette decides, tilting her head in thought.
“Not quite,” Adrien insists. He hunches over his work and concentrates on adding the finishing touches, before straightening up and gently, carefully placing his little fondant figure up on the balcony. Fondant Marinette beams up at them with her icing sugar smile and glittering sprinkle eyes, perfectly framed by the gumdrop fairy lights strung along the gingerbread rooftop.
It’s technically complete, and yet…
“It’s missing one more thing,” Marinette declares. She scoops up some leftover fondant and briskly, expertly moulds them into the exact shape she wants. Her fingers fly as they collect icing sugar and sprinkles for decoration, and several heartbeats later, her creation comes to life between her hands.
She hesitates, then settles the little black cat next to her own sugar figurine on the balcony.
“There,” Marinette says, softly. “Done.”
A part of her, the cautious, logical part, clambers immediately for her to rewind and redo, because this felt about as subtle as a brick, but the larger part of her, the braver, curious part, looks up, and watches.
She spots the breath that catches in Adrien’s throat for just that split second, spots the bump in his breast pocket shift ever so slightly, and she wonders briefly if his heart is beating as fast as hers. He turns to look at her, green eyes focused thoughtfully, intensely on the open book of her face, reading between the lines. He looks for an answer she’s not sure she can give.
It’s a look Marinette’s seen before, when her Lucky Charm is cradled between her palms like a giant question mark waiting to be solved.
There’s always a split second, a terrifying, infinitely long second, where she’s not sure if she can do this- be the person with the answers, be the infallible superhero, be Ladybug. The fear is irrational, she knows that- and yet no matter how often the fear comes to seek the cracks in her confidence, it never lingers.
“Less a house now, I think,” Adrien says, a smile curling up to warm his expression into something soft, something hopeful, “and more a home.”
He sees her, and she believes.
2. they say, believing is knowing.
Believing was never the problem, with Adrien.
It just happens to fall into his particular blend of trust and optimism. Why wouldn’t he believe that Hawkmoth will be defeated, that that they could have a white Christmas, that Plagg could potentially eat something other than Camembert?
Call him romantic, or foolish, or naive, but he likes to hope. And no matter how tiny the hope, he holds on and doesn’t let go.
Except he might have slightly miscalculated how much holding onto this particular hope could cost him.
“Get out of the way, GET OUT OF THE WAY!” Marinette screams as she rockets towards him, arms flung out in a desperately futile attempt to balance herself. Her skates knife across the clear ice as she accelerates towards him like a furious, pink torpedo.
Adrien gracefully glides out of her path and snags her arm as she zooms by. She swings around his pivot like a yoyo until she’s safely reeled in and stopped within the bracket of his arms.
“This looks like the opposite of getting out of my way,” Marinette muffles into the blue of his scarf.
“You’re welcome,” Adrien laughs. He carefully moves back, never letting go of her mittened hands. “Ready to try again?”
A fierce, determined look flashes through Marinette’s eyes, and at her decisive nod, Adrien slowly begins skating backwards. Their linked hands tug Marinette forwards, and soon she’s wobbling along as he guides her across the rink.
It’s funny, how flipping across the rooftops of Paris as Ladybug is as natural as breathing, yet a simple layer of ice proves to be her ultimate downfall. It’s funny, how she can nail a pinpoint landing onto her balcony for a detransformation that he accidentally spots, yet the simple act of even turning her skates proves impossible without his help.
Adrien’s fingers tighten protectively, possessively over Marinette’s, and his heart is the one stuttering and tripping as Marinette glances up at him, cheeks pink from the cold, blue eyes sparkling from the lights strung around the rink, mouth stretched wide in a grin as they complete a full circuit without stumbling once.
Honestly, it’s a miracle he can still function around her now.
“Ok… I think I’m getting the hang of this,” Marinette says slowly as they begin to circle around once more. Her fingers squeeze his, then begins to untangle from his grasp.
“Are you sure?” Adrien asks, reluctant to let go.
“Yes,” she answers. A pause, then, “Maybe. Stay close… just in case.”
A worried knot within Adrien’s chest loosens at that, and this time he can let her go. He gracefully turns himself around so he’s by her side, and adjusts his pace to match hers. It takes a few minutes, but soon enough they’re mirroring each other, stroke by stroke across the glittering ice.
“Not bad, for someone who hasn’t skated since she was three,” Adrien teases as they maneuver around a pileup of kids and their pylon cones.
“I can start just fine,” Marinette protests. “Stopping…”
The mere thought has her wobbling dangerously for a heart-stopping moment. Adrien reacts before he can think, his hands shooting out to steady her to him. He doesn’t miss the way Marinette’s hands fly to the pocket of her peacoat, and he has to resist his curiosity to ask about her kwami.
“You’re gonna need steel-toed skates at this rate,” Marinette grumbles as she rights herself.
Adrien stumbles and covers it up with a loud laugh, because oh, the irony.
“I’ll wear them next time,” he promises with a wink, “just for you.”
Princess almost escapes at the tail end of his sentence but he catches himself just in time. The word lingers in his mouth, sweet as sugar, but a pause still seems to bubble up anyway in lieu of the endearment.
Marinette merely reaches up and taps his nose fondly. “Silly, they’re protection for you. It’d be just my luck if I skated over your toes or something equally horrifying.”
“Sounds more like my kind of luck,” Adrien chuckles, feeling Plagg shift in his pocket.
“Maybe we’ll find a balance, between the both of us,” Marinette laughs. Her skates catch upon a patch of rough ice and she lurches forward with a, “Oh n-”
“-ope, not today!” Adrien finishes as he catches her yet again and steadies her until she’s solidly upright. He laughs, long and loud, as she puffs her cheeks at him, amusement and exasperation mingling in her eyes. “Looks like we already balance each other out.”
“You’re being way too nice,” Marinette huffs. “I haven’t done anything except almost take you and everyone else out the whole time we’ve been out here.”
“You’re dazzling,” he counters confidently. The sentiment comes out a little more honest, a little more heartfelt than he’d intended, and Marinette’s cheeks go pink right alongside his at the compliment.
“...sounds like a challenge,” Marinette comments after a moment. The smile she sends him is pure Ladybug, confident and daring.
The grin he sends back is all Chat, with mischief curled in the corners. “Only if you can keep up.”
“Keep up?” Marinette laughs, tossing her head back. “You’re on.”
She digs her skates in, and flies, blowing right past awkward fumbling and into breathtaking speed. Adrien whoops as he pushes off after her. The wind whips by his cheeks and playfully ruffles his hair as they chase each other around and around, a dance they’ve done dozens, hundreds of times up among the rooftops and framed against the endless sky.
“You’re a natural!” Adrien laughs breathlessly as Marinette glides to a slow, panting stop.
“It’s easier when I’m with you,” Marinette grins. She shrieks as he pulls up next to her with a hard stop that sends ice shavings flying in a spray of glittering white. They catch the light, turning into wings, into butterflies, that perfectly frame the way her laugh rings through the air.
It’s such a little snapshot of a moment, but it’s extraordinary in that it’s theirs.
Adrien’s always believed in Ladybug, but believing in her twice- loving her twice- makes him know.
Marinette is better than hope; she is real.
3. they say...
“I thought we said no presents this year,” Ladybug says, eyeing the bright pink package held between Chat’s hands.
“We did,” Chat nodded blithely as he gestured to the sky blue bag dangling from Ladybug’s fingertips. “Clearly we’re both great at following rules.”
They only ever had one hard rule though- and evidently that had been too difficult to follow as well.
“Well,” Ladybug chuckles as she sits down at the edge of the rooftop and pats the space next to her for him. “At least we’re on the same page.”
“Always, My Lady,” Chat grins as he folds himself down next to her.
They sit in peaceful silence, enjoying the lingering smell of chestnuts and hot chocolate from the markets that were open earlier. Fairy lights still twinkle through the streets, illuminating the few couples and families out for a late night walk in the scant snow dusting the ground.
“Here,” Chat says softly as he nudges the pink box over. “Merry Christmas Bugaboo.”
“Merry Christmas Chat,” she smiles as she passes him her bag. “Are we opening them now?”
“Why not?”
For such a light suggestion, the air between them feels a little heavier, a little more loaded as they open their gifts.
Ladybug gasps in delight as a soft pink scarf winds around her hands. She immediately wraps it around her neck, sighing blissfully as the plush wool curls against her skin. It’s handmade: her fingers find the sporadic gaps and occasional lump in the scarf, finds the time and love infused in each stitch. She looks up to thank him when her hands find a little surprise.
At one end of the scarf is a small pocket. Not quite big enough for a pair of gloves, not quite small enough for anything better off in her purse.
But a perfect size for a kwami.
Paranoia freezes her on the spot, holds her thanks captive in her mouth, so she is utterly silent as she simply watches him unwrap his gift.
Chat makes quick work of the tissue paper stuffed in the bag, and draws out a sky blue beanie. He doesn’t need his night vision to see that the beanie is made from the same yarn his scarf is made out of, the scarf gifted to him on his birthday, allegedly by his father.
He knows better now; the carefully stitched signature at the edge of the scarf that he found shortly after receiving it tells him several truths. It’s Marinette, who made him the scarf, who made him feel remembered and welcomed and loved. It’s Marinette, who’s always been there for him, always.
The beanie rests carefully in his clawed hands, and he turns it over and over until the light gilds the fine thread stitching a tiny signature along the inside edge.
He looks up at her, a question in his eyes, and sees it mirrored in hers.
Do you know?
A breathless, weightless heartbeat passes and neither one of them moves first.
“I saw you.”
The words rush out of out Ladybug’s mouth and drops between them like a gauntlet. At Chat’s startled, wide-eyed look, she swallows and commits.
“I saw you,” she whispers, and the emphasis leaves no room as to what she means.
Chat’s ears prick forwards and he scoots closer to her, a gentle smile curling on his face in contrast to the tense furrow of disbelief wrinkling Ladybug’s brow. He picks up her challenge and turns it into an invitation.
“I had hoped it was you,” he admits, as openly honest as he can be in this strange teetering space they find themselves in. “Of everyone I know, I had hoped Ladybug would be you. You’re confident and so capable and so easy to love. I really do think you’re dazzling, with and without your Ladybug powers.”
“I don’t know how I thought you could be anyone else,” Ladybug whispers. The tension in her shoulders begins to unwind at his honesty, at his softness. “You’re always so kind. Talking to the akuma victims after we defeat them. Offering your umbrella to someone who snubbed you the whole day. Your heart’s always been the same.”
“My heart’s always been yours, my lady,” Chat murmurs. He takes a breath, and falls first. “Princess. Marinette.”
“Kitty,” she says, softly. Logic has her hesitating, but it’s the look in Chat’s eyes that has her falling after him. “Adrien.”
The revelation stuns them both into silence, but as a shy smile grows on Chat’s face, a similar one mirrors across Ladybug. They break out into nervous giggles, smoothing out into a familiar, comfortable ease.
“So where do we go from here?” Chat asks.
“Let’s… not go anywhere,” Ladybug decides, slowly. “There’s no rush, right?”
“No rush, no pressure,” Chat agrees as he tugs his beanie over his head. His cat ears poke up into the soft fabric, making the fit a little odd, but he beams so delightedly that it looks perfect anyway. “We have all the time in the world.”
Relief settles onto Ladybug’s shoulders, but she shouldn’t be surprised. In anything, everything, she’s never had to handle anything truly by herself. She’s never been alone.
She shifts until she can rest her head on his shoulder, and sighs softly as he wraps an arm around her waist, his head coming to rest on top of hers. They breathe, and accept, and hold on to each other as peace comes to blanket warmly over them.
To see, to believe, to know, has nothing on love.
“Hey,” Ladybug murmurs, “I’m glad it’s you.”
Chat chuckles, and turns to press a kiss to the top of her head. “I’m glad it’s you, too.”

✸♡. Where would I be without 🎶 F R I E N D S 🎶 !! .♡✸
In the last few years i’ve always come to love and look forward to the summertime. It always seems to be the time of year I have the biggest adventures, funnest moments, and get into the craziest things. For instance, I got the once in a lifetime chance to see my favorite musical, Hamilton, live. At the same time, Magikarp became one of my top favorite beloved water Pokechildren, right after that I played myself getting tripped into infinite video game hell with four losers on a road trip in my first Final Fantasy game. I watched my favorite speedy hedgehog and his friends RISE BACK to their glory in a True Blue™ revive and just when I thought all dreams couldn’t be reality TOY STORY shows up in KINGDOM HEARTS ya’ll. TOY STORY GONNA BE IN KINGDOM HEARTS YA’LL.
That said, with all of those things, I took notice how just about everything this summer’s offered me has had some unifying line of friendship tucked in it somewhere. And as I rode out Hurricane Harvey, I realized just how great friends are and—just like the many video game characters I adore and love—how good are the ones that motivate, encourage, and surround me. As many of you do or don’t know by now i’ve always gotta close my a one great summer send off post! And though this one’s a bit LATE no thanks to Hurricane Harvey craziness, I couldn’t let the tradition die! For third year in a row ( ♫ WITH THE HELP OF HYPER POTIONS YET AGAIN ♥ ♫ ) here’s another commemoration a huge summer of growth in my life and a big thanks all of you for being a friend! Whether you realize you’ve been one to me or not! ♥
✨ — OLD FRIENDS!
After all of my years saying that my summer commemoration posts aren’t follow forevers, ya’ll are the ones who finally make this post an Official™ “Follow Forever”. Cause I really have followed you for two to three years now! And I probably will again if I remade another blog! And a blog after that! Ya’ll make my dash HOME and the time that I waste here on Tumblr is always worth it because I get to see you. Thanks for being so epic for all these years!
☼ @kiliroleplays ☼ @skiwalkerrey ☼ @kataaras ☼ @disappointedwrites ☼ @lucasdelcs ☼ @fitzsimmonsofrp ☼ @jodiewrites ☼ @nickwldes ☼ @sweetpandarps ☼ @clairetvmples ☼ @jessicuhjcnes ☼ @billsprestonesquiree ☼ @haywilliams ☼ @crystalreedwrites ☼ @atalantaa ☼
🌱 — NEW FRIENDS!
I picked up a handful of you before the summer, but it doesn’t mean I love you any less. You’ve added new shades of color to my life and every time I see your url or when we talk it’s always the best reminder of why the days so far this year have been that much more brighter!
✧ @lizzyxrps ✧ @karlasouzawrites✧ @blu3crystalbrax ✧ @pastelseasidedancer✧ @reputationwrites✧ @qvakewrites / @starswritten✧ @beverlymvrsh ✧ @tulirps ✧ @ladymacbeths ✧ @robertsonwrites ✧ @trishwvlker ✧ @kazdarling ✧ @yourmuseco ✧
👋🏾 — THE ‘YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME TOO’ FRIENDS!
Our posts are so very different, but here you are anyways! Though we hardly talk or chat, when we do there’s always a sparkle in my eyes because you’re always so kind to me and are all such wonderful people who I love to follow along with on my dash. If you ever need anything, i’ve gotchu! Because yes! I every much consider each of you as distant friends. ♥
@steinfeldofrph ✿ @victnam ✿ @dannyphantomrps ✿ @bobbybrigs ✿ @ofmymuses ✿ @queenchiddy ✿ @perfectxplaces ✿
There’s plenty more super special friends i’ve acknowledged under the cut, because I didn’t want this looking too long on your dashboards. But again, to all I say, thanks for another fantastic summer and even MORE thanks for being a Friend™! ♥
—Another special shoutout to @pandora-box-of-mind for the two wonderful, adorable, commissions that are apart of the gifs in my graphic. I can’t wait to commission you again, Pandora! ♥ (The art in middle graphic though, belongs to me y’all!! 😩 🙌🏽 )
🌻 — THE ‘ROYAL AVENUE’ FRIENDS
Ah yes, another year, another space to tag all of you in. Royal Avenue™ sounds fancy, but actually it’s just the name of a Pokemon theme I jam to all the time ;u; Das because I love y’all and you’re my jam.♥ I probably tell some of yall that all the time by how much we talk. But now like this everyone can see me say it. And most of you are my partners too and I’m sorry excessive yelling over video games kept me away from replies this summer.

👾 🎮 — THE SUPER GAMING CREW FRIENDS
For as long as i’ve associated myself with the RPC I always used to feel so self conscious about posting gaming content because of how it didn’t meet whatever weird “aesthetic and FC” standard I felt RP blogs should have. I’m probably making a big deal out of nothing, but as i’ve finally grown to confidently reflect my interests onto my own blog, you three are the ones are the first i’ve personally ever seen in this community to do so with beauty and grace and it’s inspired me everyday to feel it’s okay not to post what everyone posts and love what you love! I love seeing the games you love, and I love talking with you about them too! I’m glad they led me to you!
@xgarnetwrites ϟ @arcvnums ϟ @flowerhelps ϟ
💕 — THE FAMILY I NEVER KNEW FRIENDS!
I remember the first time Chris asked me to join the group chat back in y’alls Skype days and honestly, I can’t believe I went so long in my life without all of you. On nights I felt like endlessly crying, you made me laugh until my sides ached. On days I felt like giving up, all of you were there to cheer me on—even when you had your own burden of problems. They say friends are the family you choose for yourself, and i’m so blesst™ all of you chose little ole’ me. ☺️
♡ @jeauxlyne ♡ @josukegod ♡ @sharkmama ♡ @sauceaonmyballs ♡ @shinjiswhatever ♡ @sir-introvert ♡ AND OFC ALWAYS YOU @aeoneon ♡
And now for a set of LET ME HOLLA AT YOU FRIENDS
[ Taylor Swift’s Best Friend ( @starshineswrite ) ] - I know what you’re thinking: ‘wtf mimi we’re not even that close for me to earn this space’ but THAT doesn’t mean i’m not making this space for you anyways!!! I adore you so much Kat. You’re so strong even when you have to go through the stupidest stuff. I love when we talk. I loved earlier this year when we got to heart to heart. I just wanted to remind you again just how amazing you are and how much I love you. I’m actually high key excited to experience Reputation with you. :’D
[ The Ladybug Friend ( @pcnnywises ) ] - Even though I don’t say it as much as I used to, and when you doubt that I do, I love you so much bbgirl. I’ll never forget the day you messaged me and we talked the whole day nonstop and after being mutuals I was so happy that you did. I adore you. And all your 654654654651 celeb crushes. You’re wonderful and don’t you forget it. ♥
[ The Friend from the Lyon’s™ Den ( @b-almighty ) ] - Kay it always amuses me so much that I found you through your amazing Empire liveblogs and we ended up having RIDICULOUSLY so much more in common. I know we hardly talk, but I really appreciate you and I love watching you blog about everything else you love.
[The ‘dang I wish I could be you, Friend ( @plumwrites ) ] - For years now your posts have made me laugh and your no nonsense attitude has been a delight in my life. I love reading the posts, your tags, and responses you make to things and just thinking ‘dang I wish I could be like bridge about things’. I just love how real you are and I wish I can get some guts to be like that one day. I know you’ve been going through some things recently, but you’re always on my mind. ♥ If you need anything just shout!
[ Lady’s Best Friend ( @amcthystwrites) ] - I’m really sorry this summer wasn’t one of our best ones. That’s mostly on my part, but already I see things shaping back together as they were before and I never doubted that it’d happen that way.
[ Dearly Beloved™ ( @naaatalie ) ] - [ DOING THE 400 CHARACTERS OR LESS CHALLENGE ] I try my best not to get sappy on you often, but I do want you to know how happy you make me and that I can’t express how grateful I am for you. ♥ I’m genuinely so honored and fortunate that after these years you made the choice to Keep™ me and now we’ve got TWO giant, amazing, universes filled with the hugest variety characters that i’m far beyond excited to see grow with you. You’re the Umbra to my Pryna, my penpal, my bestie, The Ruthless Angst Master™. I’ve got so much to thank you for. ♥
TILL NEXT SUMMER YALL!!! ♥

a playlist for when your heart is shattered and no one has ever, or will ever, love like you and aaron did.
a beautiful (*not necessarily) twenty song mix of sad pop songs, moping, shaking your fist at love as a concept, and hysterically crying about how you were married to the most perfect man in the world and you made a bloody mess of it.
playlist link
when i was your man - bruno mars
love will tear us apart - joy division
dark paradise - lana del rey
i wish i never saw the sunshine - beth orton
the boy who blocked his own shot - brand new
corner of your heart - ingrid michaelson
walking in my shoes - depeche mode
same old same old - the civil wars
long & lost - florence + the machine
human - christina perri
breathe again - sara bareilles
all too well - taylor swift
nobody like you - little mix
where do broken hearts go - one direction
breakeven - the script
the only exception - paramore
how to save a life - the fray
i don’t want to love somebody else - a great big world
happier - ed sheeran
i will always love you - whitney houston
note: for the playlist to have its full impact, please drink a bottle of wine and listen to the last five songs on repeat for sixteen hours in a row.
#robron#in which i ramble#anyways this is a thing#pls enjoy some sad breakup music lads#thank u for all ur wonderful suggestions#this playlist would not exist without you all#the sad robert playlist adventure 2k17#its on youtube rather than spotify because i don't want to share my full name lmao#long post

@shadowofsteel / @doctortothedead / @oneoftwohearts //: I’m almost sure, that I’ve been interacting with Jess since I’ve made sarah, and one of the few people that I GENUINELY enjoy interacting with. I’m glad we’re friends and will always consider them as such.
@divinecomcdy //: OKAY. I absolutely LOVE Fletcher. I met them through their MacCready and I have to say that I can’t imagine NOT being their friend. I love talking with them whenever we get the chance, and it’s really, SUCH a blessing.

DID YOU HAVE FUN AT YOUR CONCERT BBY????💕💕💞💓💗💖💗💓💞💕💕🌸🎀🌸💕💞💕🎀🎀💕💕💓💕🎀💕💘💞💓💓💖💗💘
BECKY I’M SO SORRY FOR SEEING THIS ONLY NOW JDJFBDB YOU’RE SUCH AN ANGEL FOR ASKING OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😭💘💞🌈💓⛅💖💫💕🎆
okay so the concert!! so much went wrong that day (a bitch missed her flight and had to book a new overpriced one and arrived almost too late 😥) but all of my worries and stress vanished once i got to see dean’s ethereal face!! he’s even more beautiful in real life (i know hard to believe but it’s the absolute truth that boy is STUNNING ⛅🎆💫) his smile is so gorgeous and his eyes are almost pitch black and they’re so sparkly it feels like he has the entire galaxy captured inside of them and just his entire facial features?? he seems so unreal like he’s just too handsome, too attractive to be true.. i still can’t believe i was in the presence of a real life god. his hands are super soft btw!! sarah ( @jimintrbl can u believe she was so affected by dean that she even changed her url ksbdjjsjs) and i got to take a group picture with him (A MESS you can only see dean’s head lmao) and for once in my life i actually had some courage and asked dean for a hug and i’ll never forget his beautiful face when he looked down on me with his precious smile and sparkly eyes and when he leaned over to hug me my heart seriously stopped 💘💘💘 he is soooooooo soft!!! surprisingly he didn’t smell like anything?? he seriously smelled like nothing, it was such a neutral scent but it was so comforting to hug him!?!?!! i really envy anyone who gets to hug him on a daily basis bc that boy gives a+ hugs and i wish i could’ve held him forever but i’ll never forget his soft embrace even tho it only lasted for a few seconds it was life changing! 💞💞💞 now dean is a real cute, shy, awkward bean off stage but on stage????? maaaaaaan that boy went off!!! he was feeling himself so much (and rightfully so he is so goddamn fine 👅💦💥) he was acting so cocky, he poured water over some fans and even fucking body rolled i bet you can imagine how much i lost my mind jsjisbsja. he sounds even better live i really felt like i was listening to an angel sing it was so heavenly 👼💕🌈 btw he’s also a bomb ass rapper!! he did all of the parts from the rappers that are featured on his songs, both english and korean and he performed bermuda triangle all by himself! he really killed it!!!! the crowd was so amazing too thanks to our loud screams and chants dean not only came out for an encore performance but also stayed longer with his dj and saay (a real life goddess if you don’t know her pls check her out she’s so talented and she twerked right at our faces i feel so blessed) and just partied with us while his dj was playing some hot tracks!! dean sang along to drake’s “blem” and even danced to big sean’s “moves” (the cutest lil shimmy i ever witnessed!!) honestly it was so amazing, everyone was having so much fun and was so carefree and you could see how much dean was enjoying himself! he and saay were hyping each other up so much it was so adorable sarah and i are convinced that they’re dating 👀👀👀 so in conclusion it was a once in a lifetime experience and it was worth all the misfortune and trouble i had to go through bc not only did i get to see one of the most beautiful men to ever grace this world (do it for dean 2k17 is my biggest motto this year) but i also got to meet my baby girl sarah for the very first time and spend almost three unforgettable days with her 🌈💕👼💞💫💗🎆💓⛅💖💐💝🍓💟🍭
#okay literally nobody asked for this long ass essay but i never posted anything about the concert and my memories are still so vivid#i just had to get all of this off my chest#as i was typing this it really felt like i relived all of it again aslfjasjkfl#thank you for asking bby and sorry for replying only now i love you!!!#hentaibbh#your new url sdkfhlfjlasfl#kwon hyuk#dean#do it for dean 2k17#berlin 2017#replies

That's such an interesting fic meme idea! I'd like the Leverage OT3 version of Let Us Speak of a Letter, please
Ohhh, that’s such an interesting premise!
Hardison is the one who wakes up in a strange city and a strange time. And, because Alec is Alec, there are no doubts about that - those phones, those cars, they’re not anything like he knows, and the newspapers confirm it, he is definitely a bit more than a decade into the future. Some sort of conspiracy? Future!Alec has made some sort of time travel tech? He doesn’t know, but that’s kind of lower on the priority list.
Look, he’s consumed a ton of scifi and fantasy and comics, being thrown forward into a possible timeline is something Alec’s wrapped his head around and imagined a hundred times.
He’s also not at all surprised to crack open his wallet and find a bunch of fake IDs - Alec already has a couple, even if they aren’t quite as good as these. Future!Alec has an FBI badge, which seems heart-poundingly risky but also rad as hell. The idea that he’s still a hacker, well, that’s not weird at all, even if Alec himself is still learning a lot of things.
The weird thing is. Well, the weird thing is mostly that he owns (co-owns?) a brewpub. That he has - friends?
Because Eliot and Parker are definitely dating one another, it’s obvious in the way their eyes dart like some of his foster siblings do but not at one another like threats, the way they’re casually physical with one another.
Seeing Alec seems to throw them for a loop. Eliot scowls as he figures out what’s going on, arms crossed defensively across his built chest, and Alec’s heart seizes with the instinct of meeting too many angry jocks, but Eliot just points viciously at the couch and then, a few minutes later, drops a sandwich in front of him. Parker edges around Alec, peering at him with discomfort and something unhappy, intense, but she also calls him Alec (Eliot says, immediate and familiar, “Hardison”). Whatever, it’s a damn comfortable couch and a damn tasty sandwich.
Which is to say, Alec isn’t wrestling with who he is, but. It takes him most of the week to realize that Future!Alec is dating them too. That he must love them, that they must love him. That he has a safe place of his own, that he has a place of his own, warm and comfortable and high tech and thoughtful in the way Alec is scared to show anyone he can be. There’s an easy generosity to what Alec knows is his own work, the way there is to Eliot’s cooking, to whatever it is that occupies Parker’s attention on her fancy phone.
Alec knows his Nana loves him, but. But he’s not used to anyone wanting him, choosing him, making space for him. That’s the fear that grips him deep in the night, that he drowns in the blue light of the computer screen, that he’ll always be alone (Nana’s medical bills are starting to mount, she’s old and Alec knows it).
The future, with its WoW expansions and pending Star Wars (with a black man! A black man as a hero! Alec’s future self had damn well better be appropriately excited) and its technological advances, is pretty great, and he delights in exploring it, in letting Parker and Eliot share Portland with him. Alec doesn’t tell them that he’s figured it out, because, well, he can acknowledge it’s weird, he’s read fanfic, okay, he knows that meeting your lover as a kid is squicky as hell, but knowing that future him is loved so deeply and known so well... it heals some cracks deep down, quiet little hurts that Alec hardly dares to acknowledge.
And meanwhile. Meanwhile. Parker calls Sophie and barely has to say anything, because she mostly only likes talking through things like this with Alec, who is not Alec right now. Sophie, though, is kind, and doesn’t once offer to come sweeping in, which Parker appreciates. Parker is so used to feeling like a cornered animal, so used to looking past Eliot’s terrified snarl, that she never really realized how much Alec hurt too, because he’s got the hunted look at the corners of his eyes, not easy with them and their home. Anything that isn’t Alec’s, he barely touches, like he’s still expecting to be uprooted in a moment. It makes a keening noise build up in Parker’s throat, one she can’t let out.
And meanwhile, meanwhile. Fae magic has a distinctive feel. Eliot isn’t amused. He does his best. Eliot gets on with teenagers, but this is Hardison. And seeing Hardison wary of him again is painful, and even when he relaxes, Eliot feels like there’s no way he can be delicate enough about this. Parker is edgy about this, too, he knows, and Eliot doesn’t know how to be the glue here, has always appreciated Hardison, but missing him and how he balances them both strikes Eliot deeply. He just... does his best, and tries to be as honest as he can. It’s Eliot who meets the faerie (he thinks Parker has an idea of what’s going on, but she all but bares her teeth about the Otherworldly, so he doesn’t ask), Eliot who pours a glass of milk and crosses his arm, and doesn’t buy any of the fucking bullshit about why.
There’s no challenge, no trial this time. Yet. Eliot isn’t holding is breath. (He is, though, feeling like his chest is tightening as he waits, waits, waits, each hour immeasurable.)
Alec wakes up himself again, still bubbly with the giddiness of knowing there’s magic (that this future felt like magic), and fuck faeries, man. He goes to them, and kisses them, and he’s home.
He has a home. They have a home.
(Those cracked and burned places, already scarred, start grow a little greener still.)

↪ NCT Dream as Cat Hybrids ↩
Warnings : None Rated: Fluff
A/N: This is my first post, from my o.g. writing blog, I hope everyone enjoys it!
General Masterlist NCT Masterlist
Available Under the Cut
Mark:
If he were a full cat, he would be a Tuxido cat- but he’s not a full cat, so the only fur that is visible are on his (slightly larger than most) ears and slim tail.
Both of his ears are black, and his tail is black with white dots scattered.
Looks up to his elder cat friends- especially Johnny but don’t let Ten hear that
Highly stressed bc he wants to act like a kitten still but he also wants to be an adult™️ :(
Once tried to shove his tail in Haechan’s mouth bc he was being … well Haechan was being Haechan … and got his tail bit
A pretty tamed dude
But he does get really excited
But he’s also super shy around strangers
He’s also the scariest one out of the younger ones, well when he’s mad anyways
Markhyuck 2k17 summer fight, anyone?
Once he’s calmed down, he does go right back to being really laid back tho
You can usually find him catching some Z’s in front of a window where he sunbathes
Tbh if you try to annoy him with asking stereotypical questions about Canada, he’ll hiss at you and then walk off sulking probably to go tell Johnny
Likes to hide the fact that he LOVES his ears being scratched
He does tons to help out both the younger ones, and the older ones, so he’s a stressed out kitty
Renjun :
He’s a fluffy gray boy
Gray little ears with a bit of tuft at the ends and the FLUFFIEST tail
Definitely a cutie
Tries extra hard to take care of the younger boys
Has to remind Chenle to retract his claws still
Gave up on trying to teach Jisung how to retract his claws so that’s Taeyong’s job now
Likes to cuddle with chinaline when he misses home
Used to ask you to cook authentic Chinese food but you would worry too much bc “Can hybrids even eat normal food?? Do you guys have special diets?? I don’t want you guys getting sick!!” So he goes to ask Kun to cook instead.
A blushing boy when you compliment him.
Please help this boy with his tail!! It’s so fluffy and it’s a lot for even him to handle!
The sweetest™️
One time you had a really bad backache and you rllly wanted a massage, so what does this boy do?
You know how cats do that kneading thing on blankets, or anything soft?
Well he was doing that to your back
You thought it was weird, bc he was using his claws, but it felt v nice(?)
After his baths he usually asks you to help comb out his tail while he combs his hair to get out any extra tangles
He is also the reason why no one lets their tails air dry- they have to be dried via blowdryer, since his tail will literally take most of the day to dry on its own
Jeno:
A much lighter gray than Renjun- almost a white color fur
Has black stripes on the bottom of his tail
Haechan calls him a gray honey bee bc of his tail
It took him a while to get used to you
Like for the longest time you thought he hated you, bc he would walk into a room, look at you, and then leave
Wouldn’t really talk to you either, just the basic “hello” and “thank you”
He didn’t hate you
He just didn’t know how to approach you
At first he kind of sized you up, bc you’re a stranger, but after that he was just a shy boi
The times that he walked into a room, stared at you, and then walked out? He was thinking of a way to talk to you- but again, he’s a shy one
He rlly liked how ultra kind you are, so he does tiny things around the house to make your day so much better and easier.
Even if it means tricking chenle and jisung into taking actual baths ( those poor boys don’t care for water yet )
He finally gave up on trying to approach you, so he did what most cats do.
He plopped his head on your lap, and nudged his head towards your hand, until you got the hint to scratch his ears.
After that he started to talk to you a lot more
And now he’s super talkative
He likes sunbathing with mark
Tried to teach you how to climb a tree once
But quickly decided that was a bad idea after you fell off a low branch.
He forgot you don’t have those cat instincts.
He will purposely do something rlly dumb so Haechan will stop roasting you, and roast him instead
This boy is a blessing
Haechan :
An orange boy
Just a lot of orange fur going on
Has definitely tried to dye his fur purple one time
But the color didn’t rlly last long
So he sticks to just dying the human hair in his head
Had you make tiny little shower caps for his ears- and all the boys demand little ear shower caps now
He only accepts warm food
Doesn’t rlly like bathes- but Yuta threatened that if he didn’t take a bath, that he would assist you in giving him a bath.
So Haechan quickly decided he didn’t mind bathes anymore
Haechan likes to give you trouble
Not bc he’s a rude cat
But he feels like it makes you guys closer
And you don’t seem to mind
He accidentally wakes people up at night bc sometimes he’ll just start singing at the top of his lungs
Which he’s a good singer ( we all know that )
But Haechan, it’s 3am, go to bed!
You like watching him dance
One time he was dancing, and his tail was swaying so much that Jisung attacked it.
Bit Mark’s tail
His partner in crime is Jaemin
They set up a lot of pranks around the house
One time they put a bucket of ice water on top of a door, and waited for someone to walk through that door.
It was Doyoung, going in there to collect dirty clothes.
Well, long story short, the boys did their own laundry for a good month and a half- and they also hid from Doyoung for about a week.
Likes to set up movie nights and living room sleepovers so he has the excuse to cuddle with everyone.
Definitely a handful, but he’s worth it.
Jaemin:
a calico
from what you know he is a sweet boy
kind of devious at times
pretty accident prone
partners in crime with Haechan
still can’t look Doyoung in the eyes
extremely talkative
highkey reminds you of a brother
he has no problem with using aeygo to get stuff ( esp food and video games )
tried teaching you how to play video games once, but gave up v quickly after you wouldn’t stop asking so many questions about “why does this character have blue hair? is it hereditary?” Jaemin doesn’t question why his games have certain features
highkey loves pancakes
v scared of storms
one night he scared you by crawling into bed with you, just after you got done watching a scary movie on your phone
he likes talking about the world’s wonders with you
if you can’t find him in his room or with one of the other dreamies, he’s probably in the forest on a scavenger hunt
if he weren’t a hybrid, you’d think he was a forest elf
Chenle:
a white boi with a white fluffy tail
highkey does not like water
gets mad at jeno for tricking him into a bath
a ball of energy
Night singer # 2
once had a singing battle with Haechan over who could sing the highest notes
the neighbors ended up calling the cops bc they thought someone, more like something, got hurt
it was awkward having to explain to the cops at 4 am, in your pj’s, that there was no one hurt, just two boys who don’t know what sleeping at a normal time was
thankfully you only got a warning, but you definitely made sure to give those two boys an earful, and extra chores for a month.
although they both have a room, him and Jisung both fight over who gets to sleep with you.
usually Jisung sleeps on the side of you and Chenle sleeps on top of you
you are the bed
But come morning, we all know that it’s one dog/cat pile on you
sometimes the other dreamies + hyungs will join in, until Taeyoung straightens them out, that is
he still needs to be reminded to retract his claws, or he’ll get stuck to everything!
over all needs a lot of guidance still
and he appreciates you a ton!!
Jisung:
has reddish brown fur
the youngest
still pretty clingy
but pretty wise
hates bathes
hasn’t fully learnt how to retract his claws yet
he might act like a little shit, but he loves and appreciates everyone so much
such an agile boy
spends a lot of time with Ten learning how to dance better, and learning neat little tricks
loves climbing trees with Jeno
spends a lot of time with Haechan and Jaemin playing video games
his bed is actually used for his stuffed animals that partially why he sleeps with you
he just also really likes the company
he really likes the snow, and the way it cronches when you walk on it
he feels super bad when he accidentally scratches someone
one time you had to help him put his shirt on correctly for school bc all the other boys had already left for school, or just to do what ever it is that hybrids do, and he couldn’t retract his claws, and got his claws stuck in his shirt
he got super embarrassed, but you were fine, you reassured him that it happens, and told him that Taeil will do that sometimes
and he was shook bc Taeil?? The oldest still gets his claws stuck in his clothes?
it made him feel 10000x better
but do know that he teased Taeil a tiny bit, but Taeil let him, bc he didn’t mind getting teased if it made Jisung feel better.
wow a truly loving family <3

Unus Annus Theory: Mark Made Unus Not Ethan!
Okay, all guys, gals, demons, ghouls and multi-fandom fiends! I’m back with another theory! Yes, your read that! It’s an Unus Annus Theory!!!
Now, I’m sure a lot of ya have read my late night/early morning post about what this theory is going to about! If not here’s the link!
So let’s get to it!
Now, I know a lot of ya have liked and seen the Unus Annus video I shared here on Tumblr called Mark Steals Ethan’s Face (thank you for the notes!) but when I re-watched the video during @weirdmixofweirdness Unus Annus Watch Party and re-watching some of the Camp Unus Annus Videos. It got me thinking.
What if Unus was made not b/c Ethan had made an Ego, but b/c Mark made an Ego? Now, I hear me out here b/c I’m sure I can hear all of ya in the comments. “Dev, that’s impossible!” “Lil Devyl I think you’re over analyzing here! ‘Cause clearly Ethan made Unus”
But did he? Did Ethan actually make Unus, an Alter Ego of himself or did he might have some help? Help from someone who has been this in 2012! Mark’s been doing the Ego content since 2k12 when he first introduced Wilford Warfstashe in the video The Fall of the Slender Man. And has been doing so many different Ego Content. To the point where we the Community has literally adopted a lot of them where Mark just went, “Heh, they were a one-shot for me. Have fun Community! Love the fan art!”
But what got me thinking here is, in the video Mark Steals Ethan’s Face, Mark is literally plastering and then later on making a case of Ethan’s face!
But what got me thinking here my Fiends a few things actually.
1) The Title! It doesn’t say, “Plastering Ethan’s Face,” “Making a Cast of Ethan’s Face,” or “Plastering and then Making a Cast of Ethan’s Face.” It literally says, Mark Steals Ethan’s Face!
2) When they were letting the plaster dry, Mark said something that kinda stuck out.
Transcript: “Cool! Now we just let that dry. Then we can just rid of you!
3) When Mark and Ethan take the Plaster Cast out and Ethan lays it down on the table, Mark actually says, “That’s what your face would look like if your dead!”
4) The little parallel between the Plaster Cast and the infamous Unus Annus Scene.
Then during the video of Camp Unus Annus, How To Start A Fire (but don’t) has so many people talking! One, people might think it was BlankGamePlays not Ethan sitting there when Mark was contemplating on committing the ultimate sin. Others feels like Unus and Annus planned this out so they can live longer then One Year.
But here’s the thing! Ethan never really made an Ego! He did a few videos with BlankGamePlays. and that one video with “Mad Mike” (I think that’s what his name is! The Ice-cream dude!). But Ethan never really did much for his Egos! I think after 2k17 he never really made an Ego video!
Which makes me wonder, did Mark make Unus and not Ethan?

Haikyuu!! Fic Recs (KuroDai)
Fic Recs Masterpost
Moving on with my ongoing trend of sharing all of my fic recs to help give people stuff to read while isolated at home, it’s time for another of my Haikyuu!! OTPs, KuroDai!
Of course, these cater to my own tastes, so you may find stuff you don’t like around here. I never include works in progress. The Mature and Explicit works will be in italic. I ask you to READ THE WORK’S TAGS before continuing, so you won’t find anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Let’s go!
will you stay with me my love, for another day?, by amaanogawa
“Are you a Shinigami?”
The man raises his brows, clearly surprised. “What makes you think that?”
“You appeared out of thin air, you’re dressed in all black, you have a notebook with my name in it that tells you I’m sick, and you said that it was my time.”
“…alright, I guess I was a bit obvious, but in my defense you’re not supposed to be able to see me. And the black is a personal choice, really.”
Kurodai Weekend 2k17, Day 1 | August 25: Spirits ( Shinigami AU | Yokai and Exorcist AU )
breathe me in (like the air tonight), by amaanogawa
"Kuroo learns that he’s never wanted to kiss someone as badly as he does now, when Sawamura’s face is bathed in moonlight on the streets of residential Tokyo."
Kurodai week 2k17: Sports Swap AU / Same Highschool AU.
Not entirely scientific, by Ellessey
Kuroo is totally accustomed to the feel of Daichi’s body, but even so, it hasn’t gotten old. The broad bare shoulders that he leans on sleepily in the morning, or the strong thighs that support him when Daichi’s classroom is empty and Kuroo can’t resist getting on his lap and calling him Sawamura-sensei (and every other filthy thing he can think of to turn his husband’s cheeks bright red).
But especially, on nights like this—wintery ones when the walk home from the train station is frigid and dark—he has not, in any way, lost his appreciation for Daichi's warmth.
--
A small study of the heat of Daichi's skin, as told by Kuroo Tetsurou.
Take the Long Road Home, by pepperfield
When Azumane Asahi goes missing before his engagement meeting with Kozume Kenma, what other option is there but for Daichi to impersonate his brother and fake his way through a first date with Asahi's fiance?
Okay, let's be realistic - there were probably at least four other options.
Unfortunately, Tetsurou couldn't come up with any of them either, so now he's here flirting with Kenma's future husband while trying to keep his web of deceit from collapsing.
It's going to be an eventful day.
like a properly calculated algorithm, by astroturfwars
Kuroo’s got a hand in his hair, pushing it out of his face so he can read properly, and one of the first non-calculus thoughts Daichi has all night is: well, that’s a nice change of scenery.
The second non-calculus thought Daichi has is: shit.
warm, by raewrites
It's at the very edge that Daichi finds himself reaching desperately for the flames licking his skin, and it's always Kuroo who pushes him over.
hey now, the past is told by those who win, my darling, by momitchi
"Quit focusing on the past, Sawamura," Kuroo said, smirk evident in his tone. "If you keep doing that, how can you expect our teams to play each other at nationals?"
do you want to die together, by roisale
(the things you gain when you are in a jaeger: one of them is a time bomb tied with the noose made of hope around your neck, but the other is the guarantee that when you are side by side with your partner, there will never be anything left unsaid.)
"do you want to die together?" - the time they do, and the time they don't.
the faster we’re falling, by raewrites
Sawamura Daichi is really hot.
But also so much more.
And it’s a huge fucking problem.
see: fond, by raewrites
Kuroo brings flowers to their first official date.
Okay, a flower. One he had picked on his way there, growing out of a crack in the sidewalk, probably stepped on at some point.
The flower is a dandelion, specifically.
(“A weed?”
“It’s not a weed, it’s a flower! Look at the…those little yellow bits are considered petals, right?”
“It’s a weed.”)
And Daichi (embarrassingly enough) falls in love with him right then and there.
play in the petals, by tsuruko
This time, he buys red roses without looking up a meaning.
ride, by astroturfwars
In which there are cars, kissing, and cute dogs.
I’d Follow, by magic
When Daichi’s given a new chance at life, it comes at a price. He figures it’s worth it.
dialogues, by inverse
a series of conversations. for kurodai week 2014.
Be Good to Me, by tinycrows
“Not only am I into that,” Kuroo says slowly, perfecting the razor sharp smirk that he knows turns Daichi on--even if he has never admitted it, “but I guarantee you’re going to love it even more.”
catch and release, by evils
"Sawamura-kun, don't tell me you're actually a virgin?"
Daichi flushes a deep red and Kuroo's grin turns positively wicked.
made me give in to you, by astroturfwars
Kuroo’s always been one to take opportunity where it presents itself, if she thinks it’s worth the risk and the effort and the time, and she’s almost sure that Sawamura, with her small steady hands and lightning-flash smile and peculiar unassuming slyness, is worth the risk.
(A series of drabbles, wherein Kuroo is bad at flirting and Daichi is, somehow, very much charmed.)
let’s conspire to ignite, by downmoon
Kuroo likes to pretend the squeezing around his heart isn’t from the way Daichi shifts his awkward gaze from Oikawa to him, and he doesn’t overanalyze the smile that creeps across Daichi’s face, the warmth that lights up his eyes.
It’s just a trick of the light.
Probably.
manage me, i’m a mess, by raewrites
Four times in which Kuroo Tetsurou makes Sawamura Daichi question everything he’s ever believed in, and one of the (many) times it clicks.
accidentally on purpose, by drifloon
“Calm down,” Tetsurou said. “It’s not like she’ll fail you.”
“That’s true, “ Sawamura said, exhaling again. “If she does, I’ll complain. Thanks, though.” He lifted his hand for a one-armed hug.
“No problem,” Tetsurou said, and when they separated, he kissed Sawamura chastely on the lips.
Shit, he thought. His face was very warm.
eleven centimeters to infinity, by raewrites
Infinities, Kuroo thinks, exist in these increments of eleven centimeters, increments made surpassable when Daichi tilts his chin just enough to defy them, just enough to overcome a distance Kuroo had thought insurmountable for so long.
in between being young and being right, by cenli
Everything is lit up rippling-blue and smells of chlorine and sounds like the incessant hum of a filtration system and Kuroo is looking right back at him, eyes soft.
OR
Daichi lets Kuroo convince him to sneak into their college's outdoor swimming pool at three in the morning.
such a kiss, by Metis_Ink
“…Can’t you do that anywhere else?” Daichi asks, trying to focus on the music sheets in front of him.
“Sorry, you took the best seat in the house,” Kuroo says, nodding to the window, where the sunset swept over Daichi from above the rooftops. He smirks. “You’ll be happy to know that you’re a lot more photogenic than that mini-fridge I was planning on putting in that spot before you threatened to feed me your rosin.”
Goodnight, Good Morning, by kythen
Training camp arc. All Daichi wants is a good night's sleep, which is impossible when Kuroo keeps coming up with increasingly ridiculous excuses for why he should let him crash with him.
heartbeat, by squidmemesinc
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
Daichi shifts over on the bed a little more. Kuroo’s shoulders are so broad, even when he’s turned sideways like he is. Hospital beds really weren’t made for two people.
The Fourth Time, by kiyala
Another weekend, another open day, another talk about the benefits of this particular university's engineering program. It's not like Tetsurou actually plans or even intends to bump into Sawamura at these things, but this is the fourth time it's happened in a row so far.
Location, by tastewithouttalent
"Daichi’s very sure that no one would expect to find him where he is: in the darkest corner around the main gym, hidden by shadows so deep they might as well be a curtain, pinning Nekoma’s captain to the wall by the hold Daichi has on his shoulders and the press of their hips together." Daichi and Kuroo linger where they shouldn't be.
small magics au, by kythen
(Summary by me: two fics, KuroDai with powers, Daichi has the ability to grow flowers wherever he goes, Kuroo is so smitten there’s barely a word to explain just how smitten he is)
Roman Numerals, by notebookthief
A study of the progression from rivals to friends to lovers.
Mounties, by notebookthief
Daichi spends his summer locked in his apartment with Kuroo, curled in their own hazy world. Sequel to Roman Numerals.
If I Could Change Your Mind, by tookumade
“I’m kind of excited to meet him,” Bokuto says, roughly an hour before Karasuno are scheduled to arrive. “He sounds interesting.”
Kuroo raises an eyebrow at him. “I just told you that there’s not a lot about him that stands out—how is that interesting?”
“You’ve told me a lot about how he apparently doesn’t stand out,” Bokuto replies easily. “You don’t usually talk about someone so much."
-
(Or, Sawamura Daichi shows up like a breath of fresh air, and Kuroo Tetsurou doesn't stand a chance.)
the world stops turning for us, by kythen
(we've got all the time in the world)
Post-Christmas lazy days. Daichi isn't exactly sure when he started living out his entire life with Kuroo.
Pucker Up, Lost Boy, by svedone
Kuroo Tetsurou and his stupid kissing booth are going to be the death of him. At least Daichi's not lost anymore.
Gross, by kythen
Going by all laws of logic, the both of them shouldn't look this cute together.
light, by kythen
A study of a crush, as seen through the eyes of one Kuroo Tetsurou.
one touch, by Recluse
It is a promise from the universe that opportunity will come, that there is a hand you are meant to hold.
Boyfriend-Jacket Style, by whatcaniwriteinthis
Daichi likes wearing Kuroo’s jacket- it makes him feel small and also cozy. He also kinda likes the way Yui chokes on her spit when he shows up to class.
boyfriend shirts and thigh highs, by kythen
Smut practice that somehow developed into a domestic sex series.
Personal Space Invaders, by kythen
Kurodai Week Day 4: Confessions/Mutual Pining
Training camp arc. Kuroo has no sense of personal space and Daichi has a problem.
Lifeguard Dude, by surveycorpsjean
It's spring break.
Everything is going great, until Daichi looks up and sees the hottest lifeguard he's ever seen in his life.
“That’s a good look for you”, by tmntransformer
Kuroo had told him, multiple times in fact, that there was no need to ever visit or pick him up from his new part-time job. Which of course meant that Sawamura had to go and visit him at his new part-time job.
distance, by WildKitte
Daichi knows to expect the call. Kuroo has always been a romantic at heart.
proximity, by WildKitte
Set directly after chapter 325, so HEAVY SPOILERS FOR MANGA! Two very exhausted teams are gathered on the bleachers, crows and cats huddled together. It gains stares and surprised second takes from the spectators of the previous game - but there they are, Karasuno and Nekoma, sitting all mixed up together.
A sequel to distance
Bad/Bed Hair Day, by kythen
After Kuroo moves into Daichi's dorm room, Kuroo's hair undergoes a transformation. Cue an identity crisis and Kuroo and Daichi's many attempts to make things right again.
My piece for the Domestic Kurodai Zine: Midnight to Morning Coffee!
Hypothetically Speaking, by Ellessey
'Kuroo's door looks just like Daichi's, but a more faded brown. Daichi lifts a hand to knock, considers turning around and leaving, and then mentally shakes himself. You can do this. Kuroo is a good guy. Just go in there and be normal. Understand statistics. Chill the hell out.
He knocks and the door opens almost immediately, and Daichi cannot chill out. He cannot chill out at all.
Kuroo's chest is bare. And wet. A towel is wrapped low on his hips.
"You're kidding me," Daichi says.'
--
Daichi needs help understanding two things: Statistics, and Kuroo Tetsurou.
Seen a Million Faces (but I’ve been waiting for you), by Hyeyu
In all his time as a dance instructor, Kuroo has had his fair share of newcomers walk into his classes at Nekoma. But there were dance newbies, and then there was Sawamura Daichi.
(aka the Dance!AU in which Kuroo teaches dance, Sawamura tries his best, and circumstances keep getting in the damn way.)
Smile For Me, Baby, by kiafeles
Perhaps he chose grape because subconsciously he wants to punish himself for such awful thoughts, and really, he can’t change his mind now, because that would just draw more attention to how awful he is at talking to his dentist.
First Sparks, by kythen
Shapeshifting AU. A territorial dispute between the crows and the cats, and its aftermath.
Alternatively, Daichi meets the new neighbours and Kuroo finds the hardest way to form a friendship.
dissonance in stability, by amaanogawa
dis·so·nance /ˈdisənəns/ noun
· a tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements.
OR
"It's absolutely ridiculous, really, two grown men lying on an elevator floor, chewing bubble gum side by side at 5 in the morning. Daichi would never have thought that he'd be here, doing something so unbelievable.
And yet, here he was."
many names for home, by kythen
Summary by me: space!AU where Kuroo is MIA and Daichi is desperately trying to find him.
Don’t Send Me Anymore, by orphan_account
“I can’t stay, Kuroo. I’m compromised,” he says, and he doesn’t meet Kuroo’s eyes. There’s something in the way that he says compromised that makes Kuroo’s heart fall to his stomach.
--
Daichi and Kuroo talk circles around one another.
naked fools, by sweggscellent
“I heard him jerking off last night,” Daichi is lamenting to Suga the next day over milkshakes.
“You what?” Suga asks, and Daichi groans, putting his head in his hands. “That hasn’t been a problem before now?”
“No,” Daichi whines. “Well, I mean, yes. But last night he left his door open.”
Suga snorts. “That sounds like a sign if I’ve ever heard one.”
Rainy with a Chance of..., by kythen
The things that happen when it's raining and you're alone in Tokyo.
aetate mirum, by Hyeyu
A series of drabbles/fics set within an RPG-like alternate universe that's (indulgently) populated with knights, mages and the like.
kick drums on your bedroom floor, by farseersfool
"You sent me pity nudes."
"I did, yes."
the second our eyes met (baby i was yours), by kythen
Prompt:
"Hey remember when I said it was 'just a crush' and that I would 'literally never fall so low'?"
"Yeah?"
"I was wrong. I'm entirely screwed. Help me, please."
The Wrong Number One, by PandorasBox
“Tell me why everyone’s staring at me.”
“That’s not your jersey."
(Accidental Jersey Swap)
come a little closer, by phanatics
“Shit, bro, I think you killed him.”
“Bokuto, I swear to God, that’s not even funny.” Daichi is pulled a little further back into consciousness as cool fingers flutter across his face. “I can’t believe I’m a murderer at 19. That’s too young to go to jail, man.”
Daichi wishes that he could pretend to be dead a little longer, so he doesn’t have to face whatever idiots are hovering above him right now, but instead he wrenches one eye open with a weary sigh to accept his fate like a man.
-
In which Kuroo isn't nearly as smooth as he thinks he is and Daichi believes that he really doesn't deserve this.
(Day 1: first meeting / next time)
something good can work, by phanatics
In which Kuroo meddles and Daichi becomes his unwilling sidekick.
(Day 4: blind date / shotgun wedding)
Something Just Like This, by kythen
Kurodai Week Day 1: First Meeting / Next Time
-
But she said, where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts Some superhero Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss
(Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay
teach you a thing (or two), by Spring_Emerald
“Are you dating Kuroo-sensei?”
For KuroDai Week 2017 Day 2: Sport Swap / Same High School
Eager, by Ellessey
'Daichi focuses on the direction of the entrance again, waiting for someone to come in with black hair and a red tie. These seem like really insufficient details to go on, now that he sees that fucking everyone here is wearing a tie. (Including him. Suga tied it for him.)
He's just about to pull his phone back out and check the time, when he catches a flash of red out of the corner of his eye. A slim red tie, on a slim, tall man, and a set of dark, angled eyes that are scanning the tables until they land on Daichi.'
--
Daichi doubts Suga when his friend sets him up on a blind date, but once he meets Kuroo he realizes, as he has before and will again, that Suga is always right.
nothing ventured, nothing gained, by kythen
Kurodai Week Day 3: Childhood / Adulthood
Kuroo wants to make Daichi come without touching his cock.
Kurodai Week Day 7: Free Day
Daichi wants to make Kuroo come however he wants.
Perks, by Ellessey
The first thing Kuroo wants to do, after every game, is see Daichi. Sometimes this is really easy, when he’s playing close to Tokyo, but other times it can take hours before he gets to talk to him. He still does, though—win or lose, four o’clock in the afternoon or nearly midnight. As soon as he can manage it he’s on his phone, or his laptop, or sometimes even a payphone, so he can hear Daichi’s voice and decompress. So he can feel like he’s home.
Tonight he’s on his laptop and it’s close to one in the morning, but he’s not going to sleep yet, not without this.
--
Kuroo and Daichi find (slightly filthy) ways to stay close to each other, even when they have to be apart.

(Summary by me: Apocalypse AU, with a lot of angst but ultimately a happy ending.)

Kurodai Week Bonus Day 8: Mythical Creatures / Super Powers
Daichi finds himself on a journey, his memories gone and a man with beautiful golden eyes as his only guide.
Sense, by Ellessey
'“What are you—felt what?” Daichi asks.
“This,” Kuroo says, and he lifts one hand, waves it carefully through the empty space in front of him, and paints the air with color. Bright lines of orange and gold and red appear in the path of his fingertips.
Daichi’s mouth falls open.
“Yours is cooler,” Kuroo says, smiling wryly.'
--
Daichi has never met another person like him before, someone he doesn’t have to hide his abilities from. But the first day at a new school, surrounded by the same normal faces, he finally meets someone different.
hold me (very) close, by symphorine
At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
Scratch that. It was never a good idea. Kuroo is good at a lot of things, but not enough to fool himself into thinking that inviting his ex (who he may or may not have lingering feelings for) to stay with him, even just for a few days, is anywhere in the vicinity of smart.
But hey, he's a grown adult, and so is Daichi, and he's just doing him a favor! It was staying in Kuroo's apartment or finding a cheap hotel, and at least, after two years of rooming, and dating, in college, they know how to coexist.
-
Daichi, now an author successful enough to be interviewed for a TV show, needs a place to stay for the occasion. Kuroo offers his apartment before he realizes the flaw in that plan.
It's just a few days of living with Daichi again. Everything's gonna be fine.
Before You Forget, by kythen
Spirited Away-inspired AU. There are some memories that always stay with you.
While moving back to Miyagi, Daichi loses his son in the forest and goes in search of him, only to find himself in a different world altogether where he meets a certain shadowy spirit.

Kuroo needs help asking Sawamura out. Obviously, he turns to Bokuto.

Daichi only has one chance to take Kuroo Tetsurou down.

In all of the twenty-five lives Kuroo has lived, Daichi has always been there. This life is no exception.
Kuroo just needs to meet him first.
The Neighbourly Thing, by kythen
Scene: Bokuto in front of Daichi and Kuroo's apartment with a basket of fruit.
lingering, echoing, by kythen
Those who we love and lose never really do stop loving us.
me, you, me, you, by kythen
Daichi and Kuroo and their eternal rivalry through the years.
Youkai and Exorcist AU, by kythen
Summary by me: wherein Daichi is an exorcist, Kuroo is a nekomata, and, together, they fight crime. I mean, other youkai.
i like the way you work it, by Spring_Emerald
“Always a professional, Sawamura. And here I was excited to finally get some.”
Daichi gives him a dry look. “You won’t be getting some, if you don’t pay attention.”
Kuroo winks. “I’m all yours and ready, baby.”
Daichi lets the blatant innuendo go, as it’s serving a purpose at the moment.
“Good boy.”

(Summary by me: cute bakery AU where Daichi is a baker, Kuroo is a photographer, and they’re both corny. There’s cute IwaOi in there too.)
chosen, by ryekamasaki
Prompt:
Kuroo in the bushes with cat food.
hope will take its toll, by Spring_Emerald
Kuroo doesn’t want to think about it. He doesn’t think that Daichi’s affection for him, or his affection for Daichi, for that matter, is fickle, that something like winning or losing a match could change. He has more faith in their relationship than that. He has more faith in himself and Daichi than that. But, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t part terrified for what’s going to happen tomorrow.
slide show, by Spring_Emerald
“Good afternoon, gentlemen. I’m here to present a pitch about ‘Why Sawamura Daichi,” he points at Daichi, who is sitting at the foot of the table, for emphasis, “should date me’”.
forever starts from now, by Spring_Emerald
Daichi shakes his head, but smiles at the sentiment. “After today, you won’t get rid of me anymore.”
“I could say the same to you,” Kuroo says back. He then leans forward and rests his forehead against Daichi’s. “I don’t ever want to be rid of you.”
“Good,” Daichi replies in a whisper.
i’d still say yes, by Spring_Emerald
Kuroo covers Daichi’s hand with his and it is as warm as Daichi remembers. “I missed you, Sawamura,” he admits, eyes trained on Daichi seriously. Daichi is lost in Kuroo’s eyes that he couldn’t even control himself when he replies with a soft “I missed you too.”

Good Game, by byesweetheart
Working for a gay porn production company for a living—also known as fucking other guys on camera in a room with ten bored crew members for a living—had about as much drama as you could expect, with nearly 40 actors working together in various ways (and positions). That is to say, there was drama always.
to the scars on your fists, by amaanogawa
"Sawamura has power, has foundation, but Kuroo’s strength lies in his speed and flexibility. And just as Sawamura has countless hours of practice marring the skin on his fists, Kuroo has the same, as do the rest of the fighters here today, all for the same goal.
Victory. Nothing but that."
Kurodai Weekend #2, Day 1 | December 8: Ennoshita Productions ( Haikyuu Fighter | Final Haikyuu Quest )
your hand in mine, by kythen
Kurodai Weekend Day 2 - Celebration: Birthday / Wedding
Today is the first day of the rest of their life.
if you travel through the woods, by kythen
There is something out there and Daichi can sense it, even if he can’t see it. Daichi has always felt at home in the forest, filled with trees and plants and animals, all familiar to him, but these woods are different. None of them have ever been this far away from home and these woods are strange to them.
-
Daichi leads his group through the woods in search of safety.
Simply the best, by Poteto
Ladybug is gone and Chat Noir is the only hope the city has. Daichi thinks that's enough.
Under Night’s Veil, by Kath
Rumor has it that young Lord Sawamura is protected by the darkness itself. Nobody knows he is in love with it.
Birthday Wishes, by kythen
It‘s Daichi's birthday so he can be a little bit selfish.
words can’t espresso how much you mean to me, by amaanogawa
"(Long story short, Kuroo slipped into Daichi’s life where he fits like a puzzle piece, like he was always meant to be there, and it had all somehow started with a cup of overpriced coffee and a lopsided smile.)"
me and my heart (we got issues), by Spring_Emerald
For the prompt: "Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you"
-----
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Kuroo asks softly, a bit unsure.
“Looking at you like what?”
“Like you want to kiss me,” he says easily with a smirk.
try me, by lances
Having company was nice, even if they were perfect strangers with different study goals in mind. It was a shared peace that Kuroo could appreciate, a tacit encouragement—
“Shit, 'kaashi!”
—and if asked, Kuroo could name the exact moment Sawamura’s fingers fossilized over his keyboard.
(or: akaashi tires to get a rise out of kuroo, but all it does is get him a date instead)
paved with good intentions, by Spring_Emerald
The note details the time and place for the said date, and below is a line that says ‘Be there or else…’

For KuroDai VDay Anthology 2018
I’ll love you for a hundred years, and then more, by kythen
Kuroo thinks Daichi would like them, even if Daichi has never expressed a particular fondness for roses. Or, he would have to like them because Kuroo has already purchased an entire armful of them, an entire army of red roses, a hundred buds strong.
-
For Kurodai VDay Anthology 2018
till it be morrow, by Spring_Emerald
“Kuroo, for the last time, we’re hardly Romeo and Juliet. Drop the act.”
-----
A pair of “star-crossed” lovers take their time.
waking the dreamer, by kythen
Daichi dreams.
why don’t you meet me in the middle, by amaanogawa
Based on this popular tumblr post.
"the reason i don’t go to the doctor anymore is because i went once and the medical intern was super young and super hot so naturally i got nervous, and when he measured my heart rate he said ‘hmm it’s…faster than average’ and then he smirked. cos he knew. cos i’m not subtle. cos i’m a dumb motherfucker. anyway imagine your OTP"
OR
Daichi goes to the hospital and gets more than he expected.
i’ve got a crush on you, by kythen
In the autumn of his seventeenth year, Kuroo is afflicted by a crush that never quite leaves him.
got a better solution, by Spring_Emerald
For the prompt: "When it comes down to it, it's just a game."
-----
“Is that how a winner should act, Sawamura?” He lightly elbows Daichi. “First you don’t approach me, and now you’re ignoring me? That’s breaking my heart, you know.”
i feel your warmth, and it feels like home, by peaches
in which Tetsurou and Daichi share a college dorm, and all the feelings that come with it; a story told in seven parts.
you will always be my dear, by amaanogawa
"So one thing led to another and here they were, all of them crowded into a small yakiniku restaurant on some back road in Tokyo with Daichi feeling vaguely like his heart was about to beat out of his chest.
He hasn't seen Kuroo since they broke up 3 years ago, tear stained shoulders and a bittersweet smile on a windy platform as he boarded a train that whisked him away to the other side of the country in a matter of hours."
Kurodai Week 2018 Day 2 | May 7: Getting Together | Post Break-up
pancakes, bacon and eggs, by kythen
Summary by me: ABO KuroDai, with Alpha!Kuroo and Omega!Daichi, mating cycles and they somehow still manage to be dense as rocks.
there you are, i’ve been looking for you forever., by amaanogawa
"It's a story that he loves to tell every chance he got, about how Daichi opened his mouth and starlight bled out like water colours on paper, filling in the hollows of Kuroo's previously monochrome world."
OR
A story about finding one's soulmate- because when you know, you just know.
Kurodai Week 2018 Day 5 | May 10: Music
The Sea and the Shore, by kythen
Summary by me: Mermaid!AU, with Daichi as a mermaid trying to deal with his attraction to human!Kuroo.
it’s hard when you’re young, by kythen
Kuroo is doing well in high school. His volleyball team is on track to Nationals and his grades aren't even slipping that much. Why his mom thinks he needs a tutor is beyond him.
A story about growing up, moving out, and falling in love.
(let me stay) by your side, by kythen
Kuroo fractures his dominant arm. Luckily, Daichi is there to look after him.
(No, they aren’t dating.)
falling another moment into your gravity, by amaanogawa
"Nothing beats Daichi on the court. He’s a force to be reckoned with on any day of the week, but the minute he stands on the court there just isn’t any question left at all. A powerhouse of stability, of strength, and a quiet kind of terrifying. People are left breathless in his wake.
Kuroo is always one of them."
if you ask, by murphym
Three months.
Three months and Kuroo's still not over Daichi.
between us captains, by owlsshadows
Kuroo feels thankful now for the rigorousness of this weekend camp, the tension of each practice match claiming his focus entirely, dragging his eyes away from certain thighs and placing them on the ball instead. The intervals, he finds a bit harder – sweat glistening on Sawamura’s temple and dropping from his square-shaped jaw, water bottle held by strong fingers, lifted to delicious-looking lips by strong arms – and he escapes more and more frequently to the corridors, marching down to the furthermost of restrooms to wash his face.
It's Kuroo's birthday, and he is called out by Sawamura for some captainly advice.
Touch You Not, by kythen
(Summary by me: ABO!Teacher!AU KuroDai, with Alpha!Kuroo and Omega!Daichi, and so - much - pining.)
Illuminated, by Ellessey
' “Are you going blind?” Daichi asked on the eleventh night, when the situation had not improved at all. “Will you trip if you don’t have the light of a thousand suns to show you the way?”
“A well-lit home is a well-loved home, Sawamura,” Kuroo told him so solemnly that Daichi thought this might be an actual saying, until he googled it while lying in bed and found that Kuroo was just full of shit. '
--
After weeks of Kuroo leaving all the lights in his and Daichi's apartment on, their electricity bill (and their living situation) is in peril. But even with all that illumination, there may be something about his boyfriend that Daichi isn't seeing...
flower, flour, perish, by pepperfield
Tetsu and Daichi used to rule the streets of Torono together, but fifteen years apart changes some things.
Their feelings for one another isn't one of them.
Breakfast & Dinner & Me & You, by basilsprout
"Daichi figures the two of them must look ridiculous right now, crouched in the middle of the kitchen, snickering and weeping and frantically seeking relief from the chemical warfare of a farm vegetable. But seeing Kuroo like this, snorting unattractively with snot beginning to dribble from his nose, makes him realize that this is a side of Kuroo that only he has the privilege of seeing, and he wouldn’t have it any other way."
--
It's been a week since Daichi and Kuroo have moved in together, and they spend the day doing domestic things.
all wrapped up in you, by kythen
He never thought that he would become this clingy, this needy, but after spending years with Kuroo by his side, living alone has become unfamiliar to him.
-
Kuroo stays away from home for a work experience programme and Daichi adopts a new habit involving his boyfriend's clothes.
express hospitality, by Spring_Emerald
“Daichi, babe, my handsome whirlwind,” Kuroo says forcefully, staring down at him and waits until he’s got Daichi’s full attention. “Calm down.”
“Auntie is coming and this is the state of our apartment,” Daichi gestures frustratingly around them, “I can’t calm down.”
Peach, by carriecmoney
(Summary by me: Bokuto has a dog, and his dog is a matchmaker. Also, Daichi in a firefighter uniform.)
“I’ve always been yours,” by kythen
It’s February 14th and I owe you a poem, but all I can think is: your hands and your mouth and your hands and oh, god your mouth. — “2/14” Trista Mateer
hey babe, are you garbage ‘cause i wanna take you out, by pepperfield
A collection of short standalone kurodai fics, each based on a trope/prompt!
I'm trying to get in the habit of writing short fic again; throw a prompt my way and I'll see what I can do!
Wet Dream, by kythen
Daichi has a wet dream about his alpha boyfriend, Kuroo. Thankfully, he is already in Kuroo's arms when he wakes up.
Staked through the heart, Stuck in my veins, by jadehqknb
Being the Chosen One shouldn't be so complicated. See vamp, stake vamp, go home and try to get homework done and sleep. So why is it, when it comes to Kuroo, Daichi's the one who ends up getting staked... in more ways than one?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, by kythen
Kurodai Week 2019 Day 7: Just Married / Childhood Friends
When Kuroo was a young boy, he lived in Miyagi and loved a girl with beautiful brown eyes and a smile like the sun. Fast forward eight years and when Kuroo’s father takes him back to Miyagi on a business trip, Kuroo jumps at the chance to reconnect with his first love—only to find out that his first love isn’t a girl at all.
yours, forevermore, by amaanogawa
They made a grave sin somewhere along the way, where loyalty morphed slowly into desire over the years and when Tetsurou had leaned in, somehow soft and sharp all at the same time Daichi had fallen headfirst into everything he was, blinded by his own love that he had once thought he could never receive in return.
But now it is time to reap the consequences of his weakness, for Tetsurou is a man destined for greatness and Daichi is a mere tool to be used in his quest for it.
