Comparing you to their Ex-Girlfriend

Kuroo Tetsuro x Fem! Reader; Suna Rintaro x Fem! Reader (she/her pronouns)

Warnings: Angst to Comfort, the boys are MAJOR DICKS, swearing, alcoholism in Kuroos’, Kenma and Osamu taking their shots 😌, in Suna’s reader falls asleep in her car and it obviously looks weird but she’s just sleeping!

A/N: just me, being self-indulgent again 💅 I’m working on trying to improve my descriptive skills and I figured I’d share my attempts

Kuroo

You and Tetsuro had a great relationship. You had both worked hard to establish trust after your previously failed attempts at love. No relationship was perfect and you definitely had your fair share of troubles, often finding yourself disagreeing with your boyfriend over random things. You both had strong opinions and that was ok, you respected each other and made your relationship work.

Both you and Tetsuro worked long hours at your jobs. He was the sports promoter for Japan’s men’s volleyball and you worked hard in your chosen profession. While you had worked hard to establish a distinction between your home and work life, sometimes your boyfriend found it difficult.

He was always working, always scheming up new ways to bring awareness to the sport. His newest venture had been centered on creating an All Stars match featuring some of Japan’s finest players from all around the world.

You loved Tetsuro with your entire heart but you couldn’t help but feel second in his world at times. You understood how important it was to him and how hard he worked but you still struggled with sharing your boyfriend especially when he was at home.

You had been excited for the weekend, having planned an extravagant date for your and Tetsuro’s two year anniversary. He was coming home at 5 pm to shower and get ready, your reservations were set for 7pm at the cities hottest new restaurant. Your mutual friend, Kenma, had helped hook you up with reservations that were extremely hard to come by.

Everything was planned out perfectly, your outfit, makeup and hair were flawless. You had even splurged on a special lingerie set just for tonight. When 5pm rolled around and Tetsuro hadn’t showed up, you messaged him. You figured his meeting had run a little late but you weren’t too concerned. However, when 5:30 then 6 followed by 6:30 and 7 came you became extremely concerned. You hard called him a dozen times, text him well over that, concerned something serious might have happened.

At 7:45pm, the door finally opened as you shot up from your seat on the couch. You watched as your boyfriend strolled in, tie lose and looking exhausted. He set his briefcase down, before taking his shoes off and looking at you.

“Hey baby, sorry I’m late today was ridiculous! What’s for dinner? I’m starving,” he said, removing his tie and walking into your shared bedroom. You stared at him, completely flabbergasted by how he was acting. Had he really forgotten? This had to be some sick joke.

“Tetsuro,” you said as he hummed a response and walked out into the living room.

“Wow babe you look incredible! Did you have a work meeting today?” He said making his way to the kitchen, “are we ordering our tonight? I hope it’s from that dumpling place we got last week!”

You continued to stare at him, your eyes practically drying out from not blinking, “Tetsuro did you forget we were going out tonight?”

He stopped, turning and sighing, “YN I’m so sorry- my boss came into town and he wanted to see how the developments were coming along, I completely spaced it.”

“And you completely spaced answering your phone or at least letting me know you’d be late? I was worried sick Tetsuro!” You shouted, angry not only because your plans were ruined but because he didn’t even think to let you know about what was going on.

“YN it’s not that big of a deal, we can go out to that place anytime. I promise I’ll make it up to you,” he responded as he came closer, extending his arms as you backed away.

“No Tetsuro, you always promise me and you never deliver. I’ve been flexible, I’ve been accommodating because I know you love your job but it seems that I need to be volleyball shaped in order to get any attention!” You shouted as he narrowed his gaze on you.

“YN don’t you think you’re overreacting? You said it yourself, you how important this is to me,” he said as you stood there, mouth agape.

“Tetsuro, I’m asking for you to be a boyfriend to me, to give me a little time and affection and you think I’m over exaggerating?” You yell. You were so mad and you had every right to be. You stood there, staring at him as he shook his head and began to mumble, “speak up Tetsuro! I know you have something you want to say!”

“I never had this problem when I was with Ally! She knew how important my work was and she never bothered me like you do!” He spat out as you reeled back. How could he bring her up? How could he stoop so low as to bring up the one person who had made you fell inferior.

Ally was Tetsuro’s ex girlfriend and his first love. She had broken up with him right after college when she decided to move abroad. When you met him, he was heartbroken and you slowly worked to help mend what she had wrecked and now he had the audacity to bring her up?

You turned, grabbing your keys and your phone and began walking towards the door. You slipped on your heels, opening the door and leaving Tetsuro standing in the kitchen, absolutely stunned at what he had said. He hadn’t thought about her in so long, why did her memory come flooding back in that moment?

He heard the door close as his breath hitched, realizing you had left. “Fuck- FUCK!” He shouted as he quickly grabbed his keys and ran after you, only to find your car gone. He paced in your parking spot, hand pulling at his hair as the words sank in.

Meanwhile, you drove, mascara running freely down your cheeks as you sobbed and pulled up to an apartment building. Getting out, you walked up the stairs and hit the buzzer.

“Hello?” A voice answered

“K-Kenma, it’s Yn! Can I come up please?!?” You cried as the door buzzed and you ran into the building, Kenma meeting you at his door. You fling yourself into his embrace as he rubbed your back.

“YN are you ok? Is Kuroo ok? What happened?!?” Kenma said, panicked as you pulled away.

“He-he was late coming home and we were suppose to go out for dinner for our anniversary. When he came home, he completely forgot about our plans, saying some bullshit about his boss coming or something,” you blubbered out, “and when I confronted him, he got defensive and then- then he said how Ally would have never bothered him about his work!”

You cried harder as Kenma sighed and hugged you close. Kenma knew all about Ally and how she had broken Kuroo. He knew how much he had loved her and how broken he was when she left. He had spent many late nights up with his friend, talking him down from flying across the world for a girl who didn’t want to be with him or picking his friend up, wasted at the bar and puking because of the pain he felt.

However, all of that changed when Kuroo met you. You made him happy again, you made him smile and laugh more than anyone else ever had. Kenma remembers how the memory of Kuroo’s former love faded, and how it was replaced with the love for you. He knew Kuroo loved you more than life itself, but he couldn’t deny how stupid his friend had been.

“Come on in Yn, let’s talk ok?” Kenma said as you nodded and the door behind you closed.

Kuroo sat in your apartment, eyes red with tears as he cried. How could he do something so awful, say something so unforgivable to you? He thought back to before he met you and how he knew his relationship with Ally was ending. He thought about how she pulled away, saying “I love you” less and less until she finally told him she was leaving and wanted to end the relationship. He was so broken, so pained from the experience of losing his first love.

He drank to numb the pain, sometimes staying late at his office and passing out with a whiskey in his hands. He thought he’d never be able to find someone again. Then, like an Angel, you appeared at his office door. You were so beautiful, so incredibly perfect. It was like God himself had placed you there. You helped him pull himself out from the drinking, from the self-loathing into loving himself again. It was because of you that he had become so successful at work, your support always spurring him on.

He rested his head on his hands, looking at his phone as his background lit up from a notification. The picture was of you two on the night he had confessed his love to you. You were both so happy, your smile filling the screen.

He stood up, grabbing his shoes and slipping them on, his keys and phone going to his pocket. He knew exactly where you went, where you always went, where he would go.

It was late when his car pulled up behind yours, relieved he had been right and that you were safe. He ran up the stairs, ringing the buzzer to his friends apartment.

“Come one come on- hello?!?” He said as the button beeped and he swung the door open. Kenma greeted him in the hallway, standing guard at the door with a scowl on his face.

“You’re an idiot,” he said

“I know-”

“Literally the scum of the earth!” Kenma growled

“I know-”

“I should call Bokuto to come kick your ass!” Kenma whisper shouted

“And I’d deserve it,” Kuroo said as he looked at his friend, “I fucked up- I royally fucked up dude and I hate myself. I hate myself for hurting her and I know I don’t deserve her but she deserves to know how sorry I am.”

“Be quiet when you go inside, she’s sleeping,” Kenma said, moving out of the way as Kuroo walked in. He saw you curled up, asleep on the couch as he quietly approached you. Your face was stained with tears, indicating how badly his words stung. He sat down, next to the couch and watched you as Kenma watched from the corner. He gently grazed you face, moving your hair from it.

“YN, baby,” he said as you gently woke up, your eyes softly meet his teary ones, “baby I fucked to so bad and I’m so sorry. I know I hurt you and I know I don’t deserve you. You’ve made my life worth living and I love you so much. I understand if you don’t want to talk to me and I’ll gladly leave the apartment for a while but please, just know how incredibly sorry I am. I’m not going to make any excuses for what I did or said. I shouldn’t have forgotten about your anniversary and I shouldn’t have said such awful things. I’m a terrible boyfriend and you are so fucking incredible. You’ve supported me in everything and I ruined it all.”

You laid there, your eyes tearing up as you listened to him. As much as his words stung, knowing how awful he felt for saying them and what he had done hurt worse. You sat up, reaching for his cheek as you caressed it.

“Tetsu, I love you more than anything and it really hurt me when you said those things. I really try to let you do your job because I know how important it is but I also miss you. I miss seeing you and spending time with you and I just wanted us to have a nice night,” you said, tears flowing as he looked at you.

“I know baby, and I’m so sorry for everything! I promise, no more working late. If I can’t get it done by 5pm, I’ll leave it for the next day. I want to be there for you YN,” he said as you smiled.

“That’s all I ask Tetsuro.”

Suna

You had known Rintarō a while before you started dating the middle blocker. You had always been attracted to him and when he finally asked you out, you were ecstatic.

Your relationship was good and solid. You had your fair share of ups and downs but what relationship didn’t? You and Rin argued occasionally about minor things, sometimes going to bed angry but then eventually sorting out your issue over the next few days. No fight had ever been serious enough to warrant more than the silent treatment for, at max, a day.

Being the girlfriend of a middle blocker for a professional volleyball team was not only exhausting but also time consuming. You always went to Rin’s games, traveling a few hours if you had to just to show your support and while he never explicitly told you, you knew he appreciated it.

Thankfully, his most recent game was at home against a revival team. Rin did exceptional, per the usual, with EJP beating the opposing team in straight sets. You cheered as the men all lined up to thank their fans, as you quickly hurried to the court.

The usual flood of fan girls overran the team as you tried to make your way to your boyfriend. “Hey YN! Thanks for coming out! Rin’s over there,” Washio, Rin’s fellow middle blocker, said as you hugged him and made your way over to your boyfriend.

You smiled and waved as he nodded at you, the girls surrounding him as he tried his best to calm them. “Ladies please,” he said as you stood back, waiting patiently. He would usually come over to you, giving you a kiss and hugging you in front of everyone. You had never been insecure about your relationship, especially knowing Rin was a superstar because he always made time for you.

However, as he continued to smile and sign autographs, you stood there waiting and waiting and waiting. Soon, twenty minutes had passed and Rin hadn’t come up to even acknowledge your existence. You figured he was just excited, this was a big game after all and he definitely deserved to celebrate but when he headed to the locker room, not even acknowledging your existence, that you deflated.

He had never ignored you for this long or failed to acknowledge your presence. You sighed, waiting for him to emerge from the locker room. When he finally did, you wait again as he talked with Komori, the teams Libero. In fact, it wasn’t until Komori waved at you, that Rin finally seemed to acknowledge you were waiting.

“Oh hey babe, I’ll meet you at home ok? Im going out with the guys for dinner!” He said before waving at you and rushing from the gym. You stood there, hands clasped as you nodded, trying hard not to let your emotions take over. Your turned on your heels, heading to your car and going home to your empty apartment.

When Rin finally came home, it was almost 11pm. You sat up, from on the couch as he entered and removed his shoes. “Man I’m beat! Im going to head to bed babe,” he said, kissing the top of your head as you stared at him. He had barely acknowledged you at all tonight and all you wanted to do was celebrate with him.

Since you and Rin had always had an open relationship, you decided that it was best to express your concerns to him. Maybe he just needed to be reminded that you were there to support him.

“Hey Rin, uhh you didn’t hug me or kiss me tonight after the game,” you said, standing in the doorway of the bedroom as he took his shirt off, throwing it beside the laundry basket.

“Yeah sorry I was busy. It was kind of a big night ya know?” he chuckled as he went to your en suite, grabbing his face wash and continuing about his routine.

“It- it just kind of hurt you know? You always kiss me after a game,” you said, playing with your fingers as you looked into the bathroom mirror. You saw him roll his eyes as he shook his hands, grabbing a towel to dry them.

“Geez Yn it was one time for fucks sakes, please tell me you aren’t going to make a big deal out of this and ruin what WAS a good night?” He said, walking out of the bathroom and past you to the bed.

“Rin, I’m not trying to ruin your night, it’s just that, well I’m feeling a little unappreciated I guess,” You said as he looked at you, confusion growing on his face.

“Seriously Yn? You really want to do this now? Im exhausted and I’m not in the mood,” he began to shout as you whinced, not wanting to start anything but knowing what you had to say was important.

“Rin I-”

“You know, Jenna never acted this way after I won a game. I’d come home and she’d let me be!” He spat as you stood frozen. You couldn’t be he had brought her up, of all the people, why her? You felt your body heat up, your emotions overtaking you as you watched Rin get into bed and turn the light off.

How could he have said that? How could he have possibly brought his past girlfriend up? You knew about Rin and Jenna, how they had mutually broken up a few months before you met him. He didn’t seem to hold any animosity towards her but he never talked much about her and certainly he’d never brought her up during a fight.

Slowly backing out of your shared room, you closed the door as your eyes filled with tears. Not only had he utterly tore you down but he brought up someone from his past, something he knew would hurt you.

You mindlessly walked to the kitchen, grabbing your keys and purse before turning off the lights and silently leaving your apartment. You headed to your car, sitting in the drivers seat as the emotions finally hit. You let it all out, whaling as the tears fell in waves. You couldn’t scream, you couldn’t make any noise, everything was caught in your throat as you tried but failed to let it out. Finally, managing a breath, your body shuttered as you screamed, your head resting on your steering wheel as you continued to cry.

Rin tossed and turned in bed, his body exhausted but he couldn’t sleep. He had instantly regretted what he said about his ex, mentally berating himself for ever saying anything. He thought about what you said, about how you felt. He hadn’t meant to ignore you, he had just gotten caught up in all the excitement of winning. He felt like a complete ass, letting you walk out after he had said such awful things.

He noticed the light in the living room was dim, figuring you had just fallen asleep on the couch. He’ll admit this wasn’t the first time you two had slept apart due to a fight but this time he knew it was all his fault. Truthfully, he hated being without you, he hated sleeping alone. He loved how cuddly and soft you were next to him. He loved the feeling of your body and how your love for him poured into everything you did.

He knew how lucky he was, you came to every game, even to the ones that were several hours away. Hell once your even flown to Europe to see him play in an international match. He knew what true love was and how he had failed to show you that.

Looking at the clock, he saw it was 3:00am. He sat up, throwing the covers off as he stood in just his shorts and walked to the door. His plan was to grab you from the couch, hold you and apologize. He would make it up to you tomorrow, taking you out on a fabulous date to show his appreciation for everything you did for him.

He flipped on the hall light, walking out to the living room. He looked to the couch, noticing it was empty. Confused, he turned and headed to the spare bedroom, knowing fully well you never slept in there because “it was only for guests.”

He threw the light on, his eyes widening when you weren’t in there. “YN!” He shouted as he ran back to your shared bedroom, turning the light on and running to the bathroom. There was no sigh of you as he ran to the living room, turning on every light he could.

His hands went to his hair as he frantically raked through it, worried about where you might be. He ran to the kitchen and the guest bathroom, noting no trace of you.

“YN- shit!” He shouted as he turned, noticing your purse and shoes were gone.

“FUCK!”

He raced back to the bedroom, grabbing his phone before hitting your number, “pick up, come on baby pick up!” He packed back and forth, your phone continuing to ring until it finally hit voicemail.

“Fuck!” he shouted, pulling up the only other person he could think as he sat on the edge of his bed and raked through his hair, his knee bouncing as he waited for an answer.

“Hello?” A groggy voice answered.

“Samu! It’s Rin, have you heard from YN?” He spat out

“What? What fucking time is it?” Osamu said as he groaned, “dude it’s 3am! Why the hell would I have heard from YN? She’s your girlfriend!”

“I fucked up Samu, I fucked so bad man and now she’s fucking gone! She’s never left before man, fuck what do I do?!?” Suna panicked as tears began to fill his eyes. You two had fought before but you had never left, in fact you’d never leave without telling him where you’d go.

“What happened?” Osamu said, sounding more awake than before, his voice carrying as he made his way to the kitchen.

“I- I shit man! She was upset because I didn’t kiss her after the game and when she brought it up to me, I brought up how Jenna would never act that way,” he sighed, his head hanging low at the words resurfacing. He thought of what he said making him sick. He never loved Jenna, in fact, his relationship with her was one of convenience. It wasn’t until he met you that he learned what being in a partnership was really like. How it felt to have someone supporting you and being there when you needed them.

“Damn Rin, what the fuck man? Dude that’s low!” Osamu said as Rin nodded his head

“I know I fucking know! She’s gone dude, and she’s not answering her phone! What if something happened to her? Fuck I’ll never be able to live with myself!” He cried as Osamu sighed.

“Ok listen, I’m sure YN is fine. She’s a smart girl. She’s really upset right now and I don’t blame her. You need to give her some breathing space man,” he said as Rin stood up, pacing once more.

“I can’t- I can’t I have to find her! Fuck man I can’t lose her she’s it for me, she’s the one!” He shouted, tears now overflowing.

“Ok, come over and we can regroup here. I’ll try calling her, maybe she’ll answer for me,” he said as Rin quickly threw on his shoes and grabbed his keys, locking the door before running to the elevator.

“I’ll be there in 5,” he said, hanging up as he raced to his car. In the parking garage he noticed your car was still parked next to his, making his heart drop. His worst fears were coming true. You’d never leave without your car, there was no way!

Approaching the spot, he noticed a figure slumped over the steering wheel. His eyes widened, adrenaline racing as he realized that it was you.

“Fuck FUCK!” He screamed as he ran to your door, throwing it open as you shot up, heart pounding as you met the eyes of your boyfriend.

“Rin what-”

No more words escaped as you were tackled in your seat by your giant boyfriend, his cries penetrating the vehicle as he hugged you tight.

“Fuck baby are you ok?? God I’m so fucking sorry! Im the biggest idiot ever to exist and I should have never said any of those things!” He cried as you embraced him, memories slowly coming back to you.

“Rin, where’s your shirt?” You asked as he looked at you, shaking his head and looking down at his shirtless form.

“I couldn’t sleep. I felt like the biggest ass ever and I went to apologize to you. I couldn’t find you and I panicked. I was so afraid you had left me for good Yn. I know I would have deserved it but I don’t think I’ve been so scared in all my life baby!” He said, pulling you close in the awkward space.

You rubbed his back, feeling bad for causing him so much worry. “I’m sorry for leaving but I had to get out, what you said really hurt me,” you said as he looked in your eyes, his heart crushed that he had caused all of this.

“Baby don’t apologize! This is all my fault! I should have never treated you like that. I love you so much and I took advantage of everything you do. I’m sorry for ever saying those things to you. You are the most important person in my entire life and I love you more than you’ll ever know. I know I don’t show you and I’m going to change that baby, I promise!” He said as you caressed his cheek.

“I forgive you Rin,” you said with a small smile as his lips collided with yours as he pulled you close.

“I love you so fucking much Yn!” He said, putting his forehead to yours.

“I love you too Rintaro.”

Tears In His Ferrari - 11

Character: Bucky Barnes x Farmer!Reader

Summary: Bucky Barnes, used to a life of luxury, takes on farm challenges in a bet with his father. Mud-stained Ferraris and a rustic farmhouse lead to unexpected personal growth, guided by the stern mentorship of Y/N, a farmer making his city-boy life difficult.

Theme: Fluff, Slice of Life, Heart-Warming.

Main Masterlist || If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a coffee on: Ko-fi 🙏🏻

Thank you to anyone who gave a like, reblog, and left a comment. It motivated me to write more.

Chapters: Chp 1, Chp 2,Chp 3 , Chp 4 , Chp 5 , Chp 6 , Chp 7 , Chp 8 , Chp 9 , Chp 10, Chp 11 , Chp 12.

Bucky then found himself inundated with tags from numerous people: “#SaveBuckyFromY/N”, “KateBucky4ever”, and more.

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the online scrutiny, especially since he hadn’t even established a relationship with Kate, Bucky realized the weight of social media speculation.

"Bucky-" as Y/N began to speak, Bucky sensed the tension building within her. Before she could ask him anything, her phone rang, interrupting their conversation.

Reacting swiftly, Bucky urged, “Wait, don’t pick up the phone.”

However, it was too late.

“Hello?” Y/N answered, her expression turning serious as she engaged in the call.

Moments later, she visibly struggled to maintain her balance and leaned heavily against the nearby table. Reacting instinctively, Bucky hurried to her side, offering his support.

Guiding her to sit down, Bucky observed a vulnerability in Y/N that he hadn’t witnessed before, despite their months of companionship.

Letting out a weary sigh, Y/N confessed, “This thing still chases me wherever I go.”

Concern etched across his features, Bucky inquired softly, “Is it true?”

Y/N met his gaze and nodded solemnly. “Do you want to know why I disliked you the first time we met?”

Bucky attempted to lighten the mood with a jest, “You did? I didn’t notice.”

Y/N smiled stiffly, her expression betraying a mix of emotions. “You reminded me of my old self. Selfish and childish.”

Bucky’s brows furrowed in confusion. The Y/N he knew appeared aloof, but beneath her exterior, she always extended a helping hand whenever someone needed it.

“You?” Bucky exclaimed, genuinely surprised.

Y/N nodded, her gaze distant as she recounted her past. “I used to despise farm life. So, I ran away to the city.”

“No way,” Bucky responded, struggling to reconcile this revelation with the Y/N he knew.

“I took on any job I could find to survive,” Y/N continued. “Eventually, I landed a position in a small restaurant. The owner took me under his wing and taught me everything I know. After a year, he recommended me for a chef position on a cruise ship.”

“That’s where you met Paul?” Bucky interjected, connecting the dots.

Y/N nodded, a faint smile playing on her lips. “We were the youngest chefs on board, constantly underestimated by our senior colleagues. But we worked tirelessly to prove ourselves.”

Her smile faded as she delved deeper into her story. “Who would have thought that Paul was actually the son of the ship’s owner?”

Bucky nodded in understanding. Kate came from a wealthy family, and while he knew her mother, he was unaware of her father’s identity.

“Paul asked me to join him in opening a restaurant,” Y/N continued, her voice tinged with reminiscence. “I became his sous-chef.”

Bucky’s eyebrows furrowed in concern as he processed Y/N’s words. “Starlight restaurant?”

Y/N simply nodded in confirmation.

“Wow,” Bucky remarked, impressed. “It’s notoriously difficult to secure a reservation there.”

Y/N’s expression shifted, her eyes clouded with memories. “The restaurant was successful, but I grew exhausted and burned out,” she explained. “I couldn’t handle it, especially with Paul’s gambling addiction.”

The restaurant had flourished financially, but much of the income had been drained to cover Paul’s debts, leaving Y/N drained and depressed.

“So, I quit and returned to working on cruise ships,” she continued a tinge of regret in her voice. But even that decision proved a mistake, as she became increasingly depleted and devoid of the passion for cooking that once drove her.

Then came the fateful night of the accident. Paul, inebriated and reckless, had implored Y/N to drive him home. Despite her protests and her inability to operate the sports car, Paul had insisted.

The car veered off course, crashing into a tree. While Paul had sustained injuries, they hadn’t affected his culinary skills. It soon became apparent that the accident had been staged—a ploy for Paul to evade responsibility and declare bankruptcy for the restaurant.

Disgusted by Paul’s deceit, Y/N had returned home—a place she had once fled in search of escape. But upon her return, she realized just how much she had missed it. It was then that she resolved to stay and make amends as a dutiful daughter.

Bucky listened attentively, a mix of empathy and understanding in his gaze. “You didn’t do anything wrong,” he reassured her sincerely.

Y/N met his gaze, her eyes reflecting a blend of surprise and gratitude. “You don’t know how much I needed to hear those words. I never expected to hear them from you.”

“Hey…” Bucky’s soft and comforting voice offered solace amid Y/N’s turmoil.

As their faces drew closer, a palpable tension crackled in the air, igniting a silent conversation between them. Y/N’s heart raced in anticipation, her mind swirling with the possibility of what might transpire between them. Is this really happening? she wondered, her breath catching in her throat as she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the inevitable.

But just as their lips hovered tantalizingly close, the spell was abruptly shattered by the intrusion of Samantha’s voice.

“Baby, are you okay?”

Startled, Bucky and Y/N quickly recoiled, putting a respectful distance between them as Samantha entered the room. The moment was lost, replaced by a wave of awkwardness that washed over them both.

Samantha’s eyes flickered over the scene, a discerning glint in her gaze. She approached her daughter, her expression a mix of concern and determination. “Don’t worry, baby,” she assured Y/N, her voice laced with unwavering resolve. “Mom will handle this. Nothing this skinny person said is true.”

Y/N’s brows furrowed in confusion and apprehension. “What are you going to do?” she inquired, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she awaited her mother’s response.

******

Kate, thoroughly enjoying her followers' flattering tweets and comments, lounged back in her chair with a satisfied smirk. "Hehehe."

Meanwhile, her assistant, feeling a bit groggy, couldn’t seem to sit still.

"Stop fidgeting," Kate commanded, her tone impatient as she continued scrolling through her phone.

"But she didn’t do anything wrong," her assistant pointed out, a hint of sympathy in their voice.

Rolling her eyes dismissively, Kate waved off the comment. She was too engrossed in the online attention to entertain any doubts or second thoughts.

However, her focus was abruptly interrupted by the ringing of her phone. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was her estranged brother, Paul.

Kate's trembling fingers hesitated before accepting the call, her long, manicured nails glinting in the dim light as she whispered a tentative "Hi."

The voice on the other end was cold and devoid of any warmth one might expect from siblings. "Keep my name out of this," Paul commanded, his tone sharp and unforgiving.

With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Kate watched as the call abruptly ended. It was a brief exchange, leaving her feeling pale and unsettled.

Despite being siblings, Kate and Paul had grown apart over the years, their relationship strained by their parent's divorce and Paul's withdrawal from social interactions following the accident.

As Kate tried to process the call, she was startled by a commotion from her rented house. Peeking cautiously through the curtains, she saw a sight that sent shockwaves through her. Quickly retreating from the window, she cowered in the safety of the shadows, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty.

"Get the car keys," she ordered her assistant, her voice tinged with urgency.

"What's going on?" her assistant pressed, confusion evident in their tone.

"Stop asking! Just do it!" Kate snapped, her patience wearing thin.

With a resigned sigh, her assistant rolled their eyes but complied with her request.

Peeking anxiously from behind the curtain, Kate's heart sank at the sight that greeted her. A crowd had gathered outside, wielding fiery torches and brandishing pitchforks.

It resembled a scene from a medieval village, and Kate couldn't shake the feeling that she was the target of their ire.

Voices clamored outside, demanding her presence. "Come out, come out! Where is the person who just slandered my daughter's name?" one voice shouted.

"Right. Come out and talk," another added, the tone laced with hostility.

Kate trembled with fear, her mind racing with panic.

"You want to go now?" her assistant asked, their concern palpable.

"Now!" Kate insisted, her voice quivering with anxiety.

As she hurriedly exited town, Kate swore to herself that she would never return. The events of that night had left her shaken to the core, and she had no intention of ever crossing paths with Bucky or anyone else from the town again.

Kate's message sat unread in Bucky's inbox, a stark reminder of her betrayal. He felt a pang of guilt as he reflected on how things had unfolded.

If he had been firmer in asking Kate to leave, Y/N wouldn't have been subjected to such humiliation.

Despite the turmoil, Bucky resolved to carry on with his daily routine. Tending to the crops and livestock provided a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of recent events.

During lunchtime, he decided to visit Toby and his grandparents. As he arrived at the farmhouse, nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to encounter.

Demon prince!Seungcheol

Inspired by this prompt: “I’m a demon, not a hot water bottle. Stop cuddling me.” “But you’re so warm.” “Like hell. Fire, brimstone, eternal burning.” It had absolutely no effect whatsoever, and the demon sighed, wrapping one arm around the other. This is my re-debut (although not sure if this counts as a re-debut or if it's just a one-time thing) after nearly a 6-year hiatus and needless to say I am extremely nervous and excited!!! (talking in idol terms luv that) I am hoping that also means my writing quality has matured as well (I think??? or not but guess we will find out)! This is for everyone who knew me back then and is still around to see this play out! sorry if it's not the best i am EXTREMELY rusty but hope you enjoy lovelies <3333

wow omg it’s great to dive into writing after so long im getting emotional

you know the drill folks let’s get to it!!

Humans and demons have lived in co-existence for centuries and it’s more or less a chaotic neutral environment given the unique circumstances of these 2 different… races?

It can be difficult to distinguish the demons with the humans since they try to blend in seamlessly for their own sense of peace and security

Despite a big chunk of demons integrating with humans, there are still parts around the world, albeit small, where they have their own territory to control

They usually operate in more traditional political systems, such as still maintaining kings and queens

Humans can live there as well, but it is predominantly demons who are seen as the norm and the former as commoners/lower class

You happen to be one of the lowly commoners who have been working as a maid in the castle since you were young

you and Seungcheol, the Crown Prince, were actually kinda close as kids!!

you could tell all he wanted to do was let loose and have fun but was forced to follow the rules and take everything seriously 24/7

even as a 5 y/o you could see how much he yearned to be a regular kid but duty calls :”((

there were many times you hung out together in secrecy since you as a lowly maid could not be caught DEAD associating yourself with someone of such a high status

and add being human on top of that!! <3

But Seungcheol didn’t care you were literally his first and only friend at the time

Any time a guard looked for him, he and you would duck somewhere to hide together, stifling your smol little giggles im dead

As he grew up and more burdens were placed on his shoulders, you could no longer keep the same innocent, playful friendship between the two of you

Your interactions with him went from running around in the garden to stealing quick looks at each other when you passed by him in the hallways

He went from a happy lil child to a very assertive, stoic man who always picked his kingdom over anything

Despite his new persona, he would occasionally still show you very rare displays of fondness??

You would sometimes randomly find gifts on your bed with a note and well it doesn’t take a genius to know who it’s from

“I swiped the last cookie for you before Penny stole it and I know you would become a demon yourself if someone took your sweets”

“I noticed your uniform was ragged and a little ripped so here’s a new set. be more careful or our next encounter won’t be as pleasant”

“Here’s an extra blanket loser don’t freeze to death on me”

Your heart feels warm knowing that he still shows you his softer side to you while he’s practically a statue to everyone else

Now you were both in your mid-twenties and he’s been busier than ever with political meetings and social gatherings

You were his main maid since out of all of the staff, you were the only one who could really put up with his absurd requests and got along with him in a manner no other maid could, even the older ladies

There were times he summoned you to his headquarters for the sole reason of wanting some company

He would bring up some dumb question and you would be like no offense but this is kinda useless

But little did you know he would do that intentionally to see you crack a little smile, maybe even a laugh in there since he’s been seeing you look more despondent lately

“Even though we can’t run around the palace like how we did as kids, I’m still here. I’m the same Seungcheol – well, actually not really but I still look out for your wellbeing”

“Thanks, not-the-same-Seungcheol”

It’s rumored that the Crown Prince is coming of age to take over the throne soon, but before doing so he needs to find a bride yes it’s one of those tropes ok deal with it

You’re cleaning the hallways one day with some other maids and you can’t help but overhear their gossip

“Did you hear Prince Seungcheol is now engaged??? I think it was just last week”

Your ears perk up and your scrubbing slows down slightly so you can focus on their conversation

“Yeah, I heard the woman is a princess from some neighboring kingdom… It’s really hitting soon that he’ll be the new king”

“I don’t know how long she is going to last… he’s so cold and doesn’t seem to care about anyone. but what can you expect from a demon?”

They both giggle and move to another room to continue cleaning and you can’t help but feel fired up from the way they were talking about him as if they knew anything about him

Sure, he was not really the friendliest and was very brutally honest with his curt words but it didn’t make him a bad person

Your heart aches after hearing the news and you recall a past talk you had with Seungcheol when you were younger

“Do you believe in love?” you asked him, the both of you lying down on the grass while looking up at the vibrantly blue sky

“Pshh, not really. Father always said marriage is for the people, not for love”

“But shouldn’t you love someone in order to marry them? you will be spending the rest of your life with them”

“I don’t think that is what he wants from me. I would be letting him down”

“Is that what you really want, though? to be stuck with someone you have no feelings for?”

he sighs deeply and looks down. “Well, I guess not… I do care a lot for someone”

your heart dropped. guess he already has his eyes set on someone else. “o-oh, well that wouldn’t be fair to you or to them right?”

he shakes his head, quickly glancing at you before looking away. “but it wouldn’t work out anyway. I wouldn’t want to drag them into the mess of my world. I want them to be free of what I go through. I just hope they know I’ll always care for them from afar.”

You shake your head out of a daze, painfully reminded of how raw that moment still feels

I wonder if he still cares for that person he mentioned, you think to yourself as you continue scrubbing the tiles. But what does it matter now that his future is sealed with someone else?

Shortly after that day, it was formally announced to the kingdom that the Crown Prince and the soon-to-be Crown Princess will be holding a wedding ceremony in just a short few weeks

On the outside, you smile politely and clap your hands but it takes every fiber of your being to not want to fling the door to your cramped bedroom and collapse on your bed and spill the tears you were desperately attempting to hold in

As you stared at him and his fiancee out the balcony waving to everyone, you swear you thought you saw him give you a forlorn look that lasted for a millisecond before he returned to his usual expressionless state

From that moment on, you barely saw Seungcheol at all

This man was constantly getting pulled in all different directions, especially with the royal wedding around the corner

The night before his big day, he summons you to his room again and your mind is buzzing with loads of thoughts of what he could possibly want to talk to you about

You cautiously enter and close the door slowly before turning back towards him

He looks more disheveled than usual, his hair tousled, his usual prince attire crinkled and slightly unbuttoned

“You look stressed, what's wrong??”

He closes his eyes and sighs for a moment before slowly opening them again and says while still not making eye contact with you, “I… I feel like I’ll have so many regrets once tomorrow comes”

You’re like why is that??

“Do you remember me mentioning I cared a lot about someone back then?”

Your heart drops to your stomach. “Yes… why?” thanks for the reminder

“I keep thinking about them… and all of these what-ifs. I know I can’t do anything about it, but–”

“Of course you can do something about it! I know you’re a stickler for the rules, but if the cost is your happiness, is it really well worth it?”

He shakes his head, looking even more troubled than before. “I can’t risk putting them in that position. Yet I… I want to,” he articulates slowly, as if it’s only dawning on him now that he’s finally learned what he truly feels

You feel as if the waves of heartache and anguish are drowning you but you try to be strong for him and present a smile if not for him, then for yourself

“I think you know what you need to do, Seungcheol”

And with those words, you quietly bow out and make your way to your room

The next morning, you wake up with puffy eyes from crying all night and begrudgingly get out of bed to get ready for the busy day ahead

After a hectic morning and afternoon, the ceremony finally begins

The moment we’re all waiting for is “Speak now or forever hold your peace”

And the most baffling thing happens because it’s not you who speaks up, not some secret lover, not some random citizen in the audience

but it’s Seungcheol himself

“Wait – I don’t think I can go through with this”

SCANDALOUSSSS

That’s right, he causes a whole uproar and everyone is like what tf is he talking about?!?!?

You are unfazed to a certain degree due to the conversation you had with him last night but you’re still confused on where this is going to go

Never in a million years would you have imagined for him to say his next words

“I’m in love with someone else: Y/N”

And all the maids around you gasp like WHAT. IS. HE. TALKING. ABOUT.

You aren’t sure whether to feel mortified or happy but whatever it is, all eyes are now on you

The current King is like MISTER?? WITH A H U M A N????

“I know it’s never been done before, having a demon and a human marry each other. but I’m tired of always having to do the right thing and for once, I want to do something that is right but for myself”

You’re looking at him in complete bewilderment and disbelief like you were talking about me this whole time??!!

“If we can prove that humans and demons can come together, it’ll be a huge stepping stone politically for everyone involved. I can’t change how I feel about her but I can change our worlds with her by my side”

He makes his way towards you and grabs your hand and this time he does not break eye contact even once

“I want to be with y/n, and no one else”

You’re melting like putty in his arms it’s honestly really sweet!!!

The King eventually caves in although he’s obviously not happy with all of their efforts wasted but he’s cool enough to welcome in this new change

Everyone’s reactions are pretty mixed understandably but they don’t seem like they hate it which is probably the best reaction you’re gonna get

“You’re not asking for my hand in marriage are you?? bc that’s a little too quick on a first date”

He shrugs and nonchalantly says, “Not until you’re ready” JESUSLFSJDS

The rest of the day is a whirlwind of crazy events that you get caught up in as the Crown Prince’s new lover now

By the time it’s time for bed, he summons you for the last time as you being a maid and not as a Girlfriend

Well turns out he’s actually a big baby and the whole time he tried to conceal his feelings for you all he wanted was for you to be by his side pshh lame amiright

“You sure move fast with wanting me to be in your bed already and we haven’t even gone on an actual date yet”

“Shut up and just lay beside me”

After you turn off the lights and get under the covers, you can’t help but notice he’s extremely hot (literally and physically) and considering it’s 20 degrees you’re taking all of that warmth

Of course, Seungcheol tries to make it a big deal and get you off of him even tho he secretly enjoys it

“I’m a demon, not a hot water bottle. Stop cuddling me.”

“But you’re so warm.”

“Like hell. Fire, brimstone, eternal burning”

Like that was gonna stop you who does he think he is for putting you through all of this and at the very least not giving you some cuddles???

He sighs and wraps one arm around the other after he notices your breathing slowing down

“I don’t have to care about you from afar anymore,” he murmurs, brushing your hair out of your face before also slowly losing consciousness

Favorite Boardgames of Each Order of the Knights Radiant

It’s Radiant Boardgame Night on Roshar! What would be the favorite boardgame of each Order of the Knights Radiant?

1. Bondsmiths: Connect Four

It’s a game about forging connections!

Stormfather: Yes, Dalinar, allow the red pieces to fall into place! Complete the line! Forge the bond!

Sibling: Use your wily human ways to be victorious, Navani!! Go diagonal or something!

Dalinar: They certainly are...invested in this game.

Navani: Just so long as the Stormfather doesn’t blow over the board when I win.

Navani: ...Again.

Stormfather: I’m very invested in connecting!!

2. Dustbringers: Jenga

With their surges of Division and Abrasian, the Dustbringers have powers that could be called...destructive. I think they’d enjoy Jenga.

Malata: Ha, ha! I have made the tower CRUMBLE

Ral-na: You are aware, of course, that per the rules, this means you have lost the game.

Malata: Wait, we’re playing by the rules?

3. Truthwatchers: Clue

The Truthwatchers believe in finding and sharing the truth. Like...the truth of who murdered Mr. Body this time!

Renarin: It was Mr. Green in the Library with the Wrench!

Rlain: You won AGAIN?!

Stump: You’re not using your future sight or something, are you kid?

Rlain: You know Renarin wouldn’t do that.

Stump (muttering): Just think it’s weird that I never win.

Renarin: That might be because you always accuse Colonel Mustard.

Stump: That mustache is DEFINITELY hiding something!

4. Skybreakers: Monopoly

The Skybreakers believe in obeying the law, no matter what. And if there’s a game that people don’t normally follow the actual rules for, it’s this one. The Skybreakers? They’d play it “right.”

Szeth: The other knights speak of something called “House Rules” for this game.

Nale: “House rules” are not rules at all, but merely inventions of unreliable human actors who wish the game to be “shorter” or “more fun.”

Nale: We will NOT continue the game until SOMEBODY buys this property at auction.

Joret: Personally, I LOVE not having fun!

Cali (muttering): Kiss-ass.

5. Lightweavers: Pictionary

With their artistic skills, Pictionary would surely be a delight for the Lightweavers.

Beryl: It’s an apple!

Shallan: Shhh...hang on...I’m not done...

Vathah: Come on, come on, that’s already the best drawn apple we’ve ever seen, etc.

Shallan: Aaand done!

Gaz: Time’s up.

Ishnah: It’s still tied.

Ishnah: Mostly because we’re all drawing only one picture per round.

Shallan: Maybe timed games aren’t really for us...

6. Willshapers: Mousetrap

The Willshapers love two things: building and freeing those who have been unjustly imprisoned.

Eshonai: Wait, you said this game was about freedom, but it seems that I will be trying to trap you in a mouse jail?

Venli: Shhh...I’m putting the final touches on my mousetrap! Ha! It looks AMAZING

Eshonai: Are we trying to keep ourselves free by imprisoning others? Is that..okay?

Venli: Don’t think too hard about it.

7. Elsecallers: Scrabble

The Elsecallers are thoughtful, scholarly, and logical. I think they’d enjoy transforming a bunch of disparate letters into words!

Jasnah: Ah, I seem to have another 7-letter word. Amusingly, it is “radiant.”

Jasnah: And over here I can make “crab,” which is not bad with the “b” counting twice on the triple letter score.

Jasnah: Looks like Side A is currently winning.

Jasnah: ...

Jasnah: Sometimes I wish there were other Elsecallers.

8. Stonewards: Risk

The Stonewards tend to be soldiers and to enjoy warfare, weaponry, and challenges. They can make do in difficult circumstances. It seems like they’d enjoy a good game of Risk!

Zu: I shall reinforce Greenland! That is where my troops are most needed!

Badali: Wow, another game heading into its third hour!

Badali: Take two people who are both stubborn and good at strategy...

Zu: And you have great fun all afternoon?

Badali: That’s what I was going to say!

9. Edgedancers: Pandemic

The Edgedancers are healers and helpers, those who listen to people who may otherwise be ignored and remember those who may be forgotten. I think a lovely cooperative game, and one in which you work together to heal the world, would be great for them.

Lift: I did it! I discovered one of the cures!

Godeke: Great job, kid!

Lorain: It’s no nice to play this game without a worldwide pandemic actually going on, huh?

Godeke: What, uh, made you say that?

Lorain: You know, I have no idea!

10. Windrunners: Chess

I know chess may sound like an Elsecaller game, but hear me out. The Windrunners are all about military ranks, and in chess all the pieces represent a rank. The Windrunners believe in protecting the weak--like the king piece. Sometimes they have to accept that they can’t protect everyone, like when they must sacrifice pawns. They’re good at working in tandem, and chess is about getting disparate pieces to work together. So Chess seems like something they’d enjoy...with maybe a few exceptions.

Kaladin: Well, this game gets one thing right.

Teft: That it takes a squad to protect a man?

Skar: That the ardents go their own way?

Sigzil: Bishops.

Skar: Whatever.

Moash: That everyone is forced to protect the king, even though he is demonstrably the weakest and most useless piece?

Lyn: That any pawn can attain ultimate power?

Kaladin: No.

Kaladin: It gets horses right.

Kaladin: Why are they the only piece that consists of a giant, creepy head?

Kaladin: Why are they big as the castle?

Kaladin: Why the hell do they move like that?!

Kaladin: This is a game about how terrifying and creepy horses are.

Teft: Maaaaybe that’s enough chess for today.

Kaladin (whispering): No one gets me like chess does.

Note

Since you’re on the character asks and your thoughts are enjoyable to read maybe pick one of the non-Harry try-wizard tournament champions? I like them pretty evenly so your thoughts on any of them would be cool to hear, so pick your favourite/whoever you have most to say about/roll a dice to decide at your discretion?

What a lovely ask! You're so kind. I'm going to go with Fleur Delacour.

How I feel about this character

The way she showed her devotion to Bill at the end of book 6? Absolutely iconic. Best written intentionally romantic moment in the whole series. Hands down. No contest. The way she handled that dragon? Immaculate. The judges were just mean and veelaphobic and also JKR is super weird about her female characters.

Also kudos to her for being the only character when Harry got picked as a Champion in book 4 to be like 'no this is ridiculous he's too young.' Yeah she was a little harsh about it maybe. But wow. One of the only responsible adults in the whole series. Child me was like 'omg she's so mean' but now I'm like 'you go girl.' She should've been there to roast all of Dumbledore's questionable decisions. Can you imagine. Dumbledore: Don't worry. I have a plan. Fleur: Eez eet child endangerment again?

I genuinely enjoy her as a character and also find the way her identity as a part human who is fetishized to some extent and viewed as Other but not demonized in the way werewolves or half giants or half trolls are in her world to be fascinating fodder for a lot of interesting character work.

Also, I always have a soft spot for characters who I feel the narrative is actively telling me to dislike. I prefer stories that let the reader come to their own conclusions. As soon as I feel the story is too forcefully and artificially shoving down my throat "you must like this character" or "you must dislike this other character,” especially when it's not justified by what we actually see in the text, then I kind of want to do the opposite. So if you think my girl Fleur did something rude no she didn't or if she did that was her emotional support rude comment and she deserved to go off.

For real though. She put up with so much hate from Molly and the whole Weasley family for literally no reason. She deserved to be a little snarky. Ginny is so mean to her for literally no reason and the narrative wants us to laugh along and cheer on this immature, unkind highschool meangirl behavior as though it's some epic #girlboss moment when it's just mean. And Fleur's parents meanwhile are absolutely lovely (probably because Fleur covered for her in-laws and didn't tell her parents how she had been treated lest her full Veela grandmother show up and start throwing fireballs at them all).

You go Fleur. You never did anything wrong in your life. Ever.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I love her with Bill. I think Bill and Fleur are by far the best handled canon romance in the series. (Well, best handled intentionally canon romance - we all know JKR wrote a 7 book drarry epic but that was an accident lolol). They are so sweet together and so devoted to each other - despite any obstacles (including unsupportive family members). And they really compliment each other so well and just yeah. It's so sweet.

On a semi-crack level I do also like the idea of Fleur/Luna though because they both can be very blunt and directly state difficult truths in a way that can make others uncomfortable or seem rude. They do this in very different ways and also have very different outlooks but I think it makes them interestingly complimentary. And they'd both be confident and self assured enough to handle each other and not take offense. I feel like Fleur and Luna flirting would be so hilariously direct and entertaining. (Though it'd probably have to be postwar as. I think Fleur would be likely to scoff at Crumple-Horned Snorkacks).

I can also totally picture a Bill/Fleur/Luna poly relationship. I feel like it'd end up being improbably chill and functional somehow despite the big personalities. The three would probably be off living their best lives and eating metaphorical popcorn while all the other characters spent years having epic relationship drama.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I want to see her and Charlie hanging out so badly. After seeing her take on that dragon Charlie was probably pulling all kinds of shenanigans to get her together with one of his siblings because he doesn't want to get married but also oh merlin he needs this woman to be part of his family. Give me the Charlie and Fleur epic friendship and dragon taming duo.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don't think Bill was attracted to her because he likes "glamour." I think he saw her as the brave, loving, and intelligent person that she is.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish other characters had apologized to her and stopped mocking her and treating her horribly.

#send more asks anytime! :) i always love answering them #asks #ask game #fleur delacour #Harry Potter

This Week in BL

April 2023 Wk 2

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

Ongoing Series - Thai

Bed Friend (Sat YT, GaGa & iQIYI uncut) ep 9 of 10 - My biggest concern is that Uea left his sister in that house with a known abuser. Meanwhile, the office teasing was cute. I’m thinking that the final two episodes were mostly added to deal with the backstory resolution of the family drama, and to add a sappy proposal thing. I’m not necessarily mad about it, but I do think there’s probably would’ve been a better tighter story at 8 episodes.

Future (Thai Sun YouTube & Gaga) ep 4 of 5 - There is nothing to this show but softness. Also we visited my old exclamation to the BL gods: please don’t make them act crying. It’s so difficult to watch. That said I still love this stupid show.

Pastsenger (Thai Weds Gaga) 6 of 12 eps - Wow. Sides kissing. Brave high school kid! Also mains. Wait. What is happening?

A Boss and a Babe (Fri YouTube) ep 7 of 12 - Having a rich boyfriend sure is clutch. Boss is smart to ingratiate himself with his boyfriend’s gaming team. Also there is no doubt that they are complete and total boyfriends, the most boyfriendly boyfriends ever.

Tin Tam Jai (Tues Gaga & iQIYI) ep 8 of 12 - I’m pretty much fast forwarding anything to do with the main couple I just find them so boring. Although my beloved side dishes have disappeared. So I guess I am watching it for the faen fatal?

Chains of Heart (Sat iQIYI) ep 9 of 10 - Whatever. Good sex scene tho. Bummer about the, ya know, story.

The Promise (Thai Weds YT) ep 6 of 10 - ON HIATUS UNTIL APRIL 19.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 2 of 10 - It’s just the best. It’s so sweet. Yutaka’s little smile because the kid likes him and wants to cook with him is probably the warmest most endearing thing ever to happen in JBL.

Unintentional Love Story (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 9-10 fin - sorry I won’t have a chance to watch this until early next week but I promise to post about it!

The Eighth Sense (Korea Weds Viki) eps 5-6 of 10 - Hyung mistakes made by constantly acting EXACTLY like bf in front of their friends is very cute. I don’t have much to say a this time. Narrative and characterization is unfolding as expected, staying tense as we get little nuggets of backstory. Lines will be crossed, one way or another. The trot part was VERY funny. Also we got us a on screen rep of a fairygodBLer. These two kiss well but all I can see when they do is how much pain is incoming. I don’t know what was up with the ending but we do have 4 more to go, so I don’t think we are actually in an H3:MODC situation.

My Story (Pinoy Sat YouTube) - It’s a bit frenetic, camp, crazy, and outrageous, but I’m not mad about any of that because it’s classic Pinoy BL. So I think I’ll keep watching. This is the same characters as My Day. Which means they did break up the main couple from that series. So if that’s going to traumatize you, be aware. There are a lot of storylines going on. And I’m just not sure BL from the Philippines can handle this much at once, they may have bitten of more BL than they can chew.

Naked Dinner AKA Zenra Meshi (Japan Fri Gaga) - Japan is so weird. I mean that in a good way (but also sometimes in a bad way). Also sometimes just weird. Also embarrassing and cringe. I’m going to watch it but I don’t like it very much.

It’s Airing But ...

Love Syndrome (Thai Sat WeTV) stopped at ep 2 of 12 - I’m just not into any aspect of it (except Lee Long Shi and I can watch him in Tin Tem Jai) - saving to binge if the end is solid.

Venus in the Sky (Sat YouTube) pilot/tester?) 0 of 10 - not entirely sure what’s up with this one distribution-wise, but the pilot was cute, classic university-set pulp. I hope it happens because the leads are cute with good chemsitry and I thought it was fun. However, it totally holds together as it’s own little short story too.

Make a Wish (Thai Weds ?) from WaGa Creative staring Fluke Natouch (OhmFluke UWMA etc...) & Judo (The Miracle Of Teddy Bear) in a medical-fantasy. About a doctor who sees ghosts and a deity who resides in a Bodhi tree that earns merits whenever he fulfills a wish based on a y-novel by Sammon (Manner of Death, Triage). Same as above.

In Case You Missed it

Cafe In Love 10 eps finished its run.

Destiny Seeker 10 eps also finished its run.

A First Love Story is on Gaga now. It’s my favorite BL short ever made, check it out. It’s wonderful.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting:

04.18 Step By Step (Thai WeTV & Gaga) - 10 eps office age gap, I am all in!

04.19 The Promise is back!

Finishing: Bed Friend, Chains, Future

I might start watching Destiny Seeker or Cafe in Love, or both.

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

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

En of Love franchise leaning into its brand (Future the series)

I love their friendship and their bromances and this was an adorable moment ... but now I want these two to lead out a BL together.

I love an “accidental” outing (both Boss & Babe).

Calling out tropes and characterization, as ya do.

Passing along the familial obligation of care.

(all Bed Friend)

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Block B’s Very Good, I TOLD you I’ve been dipping into the well a lot recently. I really miss Kpop’s 2nd gen insanity phase.

Facts about Levi Ackerman

(Considering that he is in this universe) and the way I met him and how he accepted everything :) I want to share with you...🥰

The first time we met.

At first, Levi was insecure and sweetly shy, when we first met, it was in the middle of August last year, and I was very happy, and shocked while I was still trying to process what just happened, fu*** Levi, is in front of me.

Levi didn't know what to do either, so we just stood and looked at each other like (what now?) 😏

That was when I was coming back from the observatory, but after a couple of days we both relaxed a bit, so we hugged for the first time, until then he and I were still at a distance. All this was still happening when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend with whom I was in a relationship for a long time and it took time for me to calm down and to literally understand what was HAPPENING.

I didn't know Levi very well, at the beginning I didn't even imagine how he would treat me, I had love for him, I looked at him in a mature way, so I didn't really expect love from him, I never dreamed that he would appear here. But he really is, and only after a week we started talking about my feelings for him. And he only confirmed his feelings. It was mutual.

The beginning of a relationship

From the beginning, as I said, Levi was sweet and shy, as it was said that he would be clumsy in relationships...but that's cute. It was difficult at the beginning of the first 3 months of the relationship because he didn't know how to comfort me, he didn't know much, but that's why we talked and now he's completely different, as far as showing feelings is concerned . He literally learned from me.

And now a list of facts about what he loves, what he likes...etc. ")

1. Food: when it comes to food, he likes to eat everything, there in his universe he didn't have as many choices as now, so he likes to eat everything. If we took something out to eat, or whatever I cooked. + he helped me with cooking ^^

2. Sweet: he liked Kinder chocolates the most, I used to buy him such chocolates so he could try them, so number one would be KINDER PINGVI, he really liked that. ❤️

3. Nature: he likes to walk since he has the freedom to go wherever he wants, so he likes it a lot, in a May I took him to see horses, because he loves horses, it's his favorite animal btw...but since I live under a mountain in a village, he finds it wonderful and wants to explore and see everything. it makes him happy.

4. Little things are EVERYTHING for him:

YES, things like: hugs, give him tea, make him a sandwich without asking if he wants it? ..he loves it, in return I get (THANK YOU) a look that cannot be described, in love, and kisses...🫠 so I always melt.

5. CLEANING!!

yes, I can't even describe how crazy he got from all those detergents when he saw them on the shelf when we went shopping, aww he looked at them for a long time, and even asked me what they were for. Wet wipes for cleaning, a vacuum cleaner, different brooms, it was all WOW literally for him.. and he had a small smile while looking around through the shelves, and turning all those cleaning products. When he is not at my place during the day, and when he comes and sees that everything is clean and beautiful, I get a hug from him and words like: you cleaned it very well...gives me kiss on head,on lips, on cheek🫠

6. HE LIKES BLACK TEA, BUT he also liked cream coffee, we are buying coffee at Lidl, that nice cream coffee and you add milk to it.. 🤤 Levi said that if they had that kind of coffee there, he would drink it instead of tea, when of course he wouldn't have tea, hahaha, but yes, he really liked that kind of coffee. Of course, he has tried a lot of teas so far, because he is interested in the tea-s in those bags are, but he said that it is not natural and that it is not the same taste as it was there :/

7. Social networks

Levi currently only has instagram, at first he didn't even want that, but I wanted to write with him, and then he gave in, we worked on instagram together, and gmail and I had to do everything for him, ughh and everything was great until we wrote the name , so everything possible was taken, he was frustrated when he saw that we couldn't make an instagram hahaha, because most of them had already taken his name *fans* and of course...but first the name was Captain Levi and then I changed his name later in crni_caj ( which means black tea) hhehe :) but he is now Levi_Ackerman_offical ^^ he doesn't have many followers, mostly my friends who met him follow him, and he mostly follows them and wierd pages, well it's his instagram, i let him follow whatever he wants. 🥰...but his account is private, because he does not want to be disturbed.

8. Showering

He loves being able to take a shower, bathe, because even that was not possible for him in his universe, so now he uses it almost every day to be clean, and to smell, because of course, he can't stand the stench,...he is annoyed when he stinks uhhh😏 especially now in the summer, he can't stand this unbearable heat, and then he still sweats all the time hahah🥵

9. Music

As for music, he likes classical music, such as Mozart and so on, but he also likes music with a good rhythm, for example, since I'm here from the Balkan, and of course we have a different rhythm, but he likes trumpets, harmonica, and the lyrics of the songs must be normal hahahah, otherwise he has strange faces like 🤨 eww what is that? 😂😂

10. Intimacy

I won't say much here, I know some little things that I shouldn't say, because it wouldn't be right, but just know that he's not virgin hahahaha and that he had his first time when he was 20 years old... and that he didn't have sex all the time but once in year, and that if he really had the time and desire for it, as he told me "2-3 times for tea, just so I can get to know her better", obviously no one from the survey corps, you know how soldiers in general had a need for that of course, nothing romantic, just satisfaction on both sides, he didn't want to get romantically attached to anyone.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

this is short, because if I started writing about him it wouldn't fit here, I would literally have to write a book about him heh 🫂😭

#levi ackerman #attack on titan #captain levi #snk #twin flame #snk levi #levi aot #levi heichou #shingeki no kyojin #true story #i love you #love #lovers #facts #aot levi

Just a Little Further 14

Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Here I am, standing outside the door to Captain Q'ari's cabin. What am I doing? It's early still, and I don't think she's a late riser, so she's probably awake. But still.

You fear to find out that I'm right and she thinks you a God.

Well yes, of course I do. I don't want to be a God.

And yet. Here we are, with Godhood thrust upon you. Take the power offered, revel in it. They think you a God? Fine. Be a God.

Me help me (heh), that is staring to make sense.

Good.

I stand there arguing with myself and the door opens. Captain Selem Q'ari is standing there, fur brushed until it shone, uniform pressed sharply. This is the first time I stand so close to her, I smell a clean scent too. Is she wearing perfume?

She can't help herself. She is trying to impress you.

"Captain." I say. She is startled and jumps back. "Ho-Lieu-Melody. Good Morning. I apologize, you started me."

Hmm, she was going to go with Holy One before she caught herself. Interesting.

"Captain...Do you think I am holy?"

Wow, I just came right out and said it didn't I?

She swallows, clearly nervous. Taking a deep breath she calms herself. "Melody, it was how I was raised. Not many K'laxi still follow the Old Ways as closely, but a lot of us know the basics, and the high holy days are still celebrated as regular holidays. Parties with friends, days off work, that kind of thing. The greater meaning is mostly lost of everyone, but they still celebrate. Yes. Ancestors protect me, I think you - what you have become - is Holy."

"Am I Tep’ra’fel?" I ask.

She looks as if I have slapped her. "You haven't given me an order, I don't know."

I sigh. "S̷̩̊͑ë̸̳́l̵̺̪̈́̎è̷̮̼͠m̷̻͋̕. Go into your quarters and show me the scent you applied. I like it."

She pivots on the balls of her feet, and goes into her quarters. Within a moment, she returns with a small brown cylinder. Wordlessly she hands it to me with tears streaming from her eyes. I take it and look down. There's a drawing of a forest and in the raised and rounded K'laxi script it says "forest dreams." Huh, I can read K'laxi now too. I hand it back to her.

"So then." I say. "The undeniable eh?"

She nods.

"What does that mean for the mission?" I say.

It means whatever you want it to mean. You are Empress. You are undeniable.

"You are a Builder." She whispers. "The mission is whatever you wish it to be, Builder."

Oh for the love of. "Captain Q'ari, you are still the Officer in Command of this mission. Even with my... elevated status you are still in Command."

Just order her to be Captain.

I can do that?

You're the Empress. How many different ways do we have to explain it? You can do whatever you want.

"Selem. Would it make your life easier if I ordered you to continue to be Captain? If I told you as a Tep’ra’fel, as your... Empress, to be in charge of the exploration mission?"

She whispered, "Empress?" She shuddered. I couldn't tell if it was in pleasure or pain. "I can't be above you."

She's right you know.

I said quiet, you.

I'm just saying.

This is exhausting. "Okay then. S̷̩̊͑ë̸̳́l̵̺̪̈́̎è̷̮̼͠m̷̻͋̕ Q'ari, Captain of the exploration Starjumper FarReach and the Officer in Charge of the mission. I, in my role as The Builder Melody and Empress of the Holy Imperial Systems order you to continue your mission. When necessary, you may issue Lieutenant Melody Mullen orders that facilitate that mission."

She relaxed visibly at the order. With an exhale she said "Thank you Lieutenant. I apologize for being... difficult, but I appreciate you accommodating me."

"Of course, Captain. I am happy that we were able to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Empress of the Holy Imperial Systems?

Old Title. Sounds like it's just come back into fashion.

She stares at me a moment. "M-Melody, you said you were "Empress of the Holy Imperial Systems. What's that?"

"The Nano machines - the Nantes - tell me that I'm the current Empress of the empire that's over on this side of the galaxy. What's left of it at least. As far as we know, all that's left is this starbase and the destroyed one."

It was five hundred and fifty five gates with planets, starbases and over 30 client sapient species.

"In the Old Days, it was pretty big, apparently."

She turns her head. "And you are its head now?"

I shrug. "The nano machines say so. I don't know though. I guess if I want to be, I just have to declare it."

And have the force to keep it.

I turned and left her quarters. I don't know what else to do, so I go to the dining hall. It's nearly breakfast and I'm starving. Even an Empress needs to eat apparently.

I really didn't want to just order everyone to be normal. I can't say I didn't think of it at least a little bit though.

Most Empresses that we have memories of do it. It's completely normal.

Most?

There are a few who reveled in being worshipped. They did not want people to be normal around them.

Wait, you said the Empresses we have memories of. Are my memories being recorded too?

Of course they are, Empress. You are a Builder, and Empress. Your memories are being recorded to the nanites in your body so that when you pass, your memories remain. Your edicts remain. You remain.

But there hasn't been an Empress in thousands of years as near as we can tell?

No system is perfect. The rebellion must have been swift and complete. we imagine the previous empress was not well liked.

But you don't know?

One has to touch a directory stone to complete the upload. In the past it has been part of a yearly celebration of the Empire and the Gates. The previous Empress didn't get a chance to touch the gates during the rebellion, so we don't know what happened.

The other system, the Wilds of Besmara was almost completely destroyed. The planet was cracked in half and the starbase there almost dead and cold. Some kind of field enveloped us and we were starting to get pulled in. You don't recall this?

We had just been introduced to you as the Empress, we were not fully online at that point. One moment.

I get an odd feeling. I think the Nanites are trying to access my memories in real-time. It's like I'm reliving the whole frightening situation.

Ah. Yes.

Well? What happened?

We do not know. The last time we were uploaded, the Wilds were a prosperous, thriving system. The planet was known to house fully a billion sapients and was very productive.

We should find out what happened, and see if there are people still there and if they need help.

Now, you're thinking like an Empress.

Ugh. We probably should go back and see what happened. Maybe I can sponsor a trip with one of the ships docked and have them go look.

While I sit at the table arguing with myself, Ava walks in. "Oh, good morning... Melody, did you sleep well?"

I'll take it. At least she didn't launch into calling me Holy One right away. "Good morning Ava, I slept all right, how about you?"

She took a pastry from the plate on the table and sat down. "Wasn't bad really, though I imagine you're undergoing a lot more stress than I am." She takes a bite and while chewing, weighs something in her mind. I can see she's going to ask me something she's interested in after she swallows. Probably what it's like being an Empress or something similar.

She doesn't know you're an Empress yet.

Details.

"So Melody, what's it like?"

Told you.

"What's what like?"

She gestured. "Suddenly getting the knowledge to speak every language and having everyone on the station think that you're a Builder - whatever they were - and then, the robe and the wings and the crown! It was wild looking. You were looking positively radiant out there."

Wait. What?

"You thought I looked... good?" I did not expect this.

"Oh my God, yes." Ava laughed. "You looked so powerful, so beautiful." She blushed slightly when she said it. "Everyone was afraid of you! Us over on FarReach were frightened a little bit too, I'll admit. I swear once Captain Q'ari realized what was going on, she practically started shaking. But you? You were making it work. Frankly, I'm jealous. Next time we find a directory stone, I want to touch it."

You know, we are going to need more Builders. She sounds like an ideal candidate.

Shh, not right now.

"Actually Melody, do you know anything more about who you are than you did yesterday? Like, are you a religious head or just someone known as a Builder, or what?"

I can feel the nanites staring at me mentally.

Tell her. The K'laxi already suspect and Captain Q'ari knows.

"Yes. I did learn more." I say quietly. "But rather than repeat myself, I'll tell everyone after breakfast."

"Oh." She seems disappointed. "Okay, I'll wait. Thanks, Melody."

Why is she disappointed?

She's attracted to you, she wants to spend more time with just the two of you.

What.

Come now, even with the increases to your perception and body language processing you are telling us you can't see it? She is practically shouting it.

"So hey Ava, I'm going to have to go out into the Starbase later, do you want to be in the team that comes along next time?"

Her face lights up like a summer dawn. It was exactly the right thing to say.

"I would love to Melody. Thank you so much for inviting me. Are we going to wear pressure suits?"

"Not this time I think." I say carefully. "I have something else in mind."

Everyone trickles in and breakfast is served. It's pretty light and simple today. Captain Q'ari looks much better after I ordered her to be normal and it feels like any other morning.

Almost.

After we clear our plates and get one more cup of coffee. I stand. "Everyone? With the Captain's permission, I'd like to say something."

Captain Q'ari looks over at me and flicks her ears but her body language says that of course it's fine. I still need her to say it though, she is still the Captain.

"Of Course Mel-Lieutenant Mullen. Please, you have our attention."

I take a deep breath, hold it for a two count, and let it out through my nose. Here goes.

"Yesterday, you noticed my... outburst after the security forces tried to break up that religious congregation. The singers are a member of a church that has congregations all over this starbase that worship the Builders and pray for their return."

"Yesterday, as far as they are concerned, their prayers have been answered."

Murmurs and questioning noises from the crew. The K'laxi members are split evenly with looking fascinated like Dr Irenimum, and rapturous, like Captain Q'ari.

The humans mostly look confused. Ava is excited though.

"As near as I am able to tell from the nano machines - the Nanites - inside me, Humans, or at least a recent offshoot of us, ruled this side of the galaxy. The Nanites give people who possess them increased abilities. According to Dr Irenimum, I am healthier than I have ever been, may live much much longer than by default, and have a greater ability to read people and body language, in addition to understanding every language spoken to me so far."

Kieran nods.

"But, there is something else you should know. The Nanites I have are a special variety. I am in possession of the Nanites that the Empress of the Holy Imperal Systems would have. I am, as far as I am able to figure out, their Empress."

Now, there's noise from the crew. FarReach is first able to talk over the din. "Melody, you're telling me, telling us that you're an Empress now? You're in charge of this Starbase?"

I nod. "Originally, I was in charge of five hundred and fifty five gates and all the systems, starbases and sapients contained within."

Omar is next. "Wait you were in charge? or the Previous Empresses was in charge?"

I make a pained face. "This is where it gets weird." I start.

"Gets weird?" Gene says.

I nodded. "Gets weirder Gene, thank you." The Nanites contain the recorded memories and... feelings of the previous empresses. The Empress is supposed to touch the directory stone once a year or so and her memories and feelings are... backed up to the stone so that if the empire falls - like it did - and another human touches the stone - like I did - the nanites reactivate and restore from backup basically. They tell me I'm still me and will remain me, but now I am also the Empress."

"Was that why you were able to cow that whole crowd, and knew the words to say"? I saw that they were doing a call and response with you." Ava says. I can see she's drinking me in. This is a little weird.

"Yes. The Nanites told me what to say, took over temporarily really. I didn't want them to rip that Aviens to shreds, but that... was what happened. I feel bad about it."

You are the Empress. The crowd did as you commanded. There is no feeling bad when people follow your orders.

"What about the language?" Fer'resi asks. "The translator that they gave us?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about that. Omar, can you go grab it off my workstation and bring it down here. Don't activate it please."

Wait, did I use my asking voice or ordering voice? I can't tell. Omar gets up and goes to get it regardless.

Mei'la looks at me oddly. I can't tell if she's from a religious family or not. "Melody, do the Nanites tell you anything about us?" Religious then.

"Yes actually. One of the last memories that they have is about your killing your overseers and closing your Gate permanently."

Mei'la's face runs between looking pleased that they overthrew their masters but also looks shocked. "But, we didn't go to space for a thousand years after the religion that talks about the Gates was founded."

Dr Irenimum adds "Maybe they stole a Builder craft to do it, and then landed or crashed on K'laxi and without the ability to repair it..." He shrugged.

"Okay then, what about the big question?" Mitchel says. "What about Earth?"

"The Nanites say that a splinter group of builders rebelled and closed and locked their Gate a long time ago They suspected that those splinter Builders even destroyed their Gate.. The Nanites were just as surprised to find us as we them."

Mitchel whistles low "Wow. Then it must be at least 15 to 20 thousand years ago. Maybe longer. How long have these folks been operating without an Empress? Would they even want one if you came back?"

The splinter Builders closed their Gate millennia before the K'laxi rebellion. The two events did not happen close together.

The Nanites say the humans left millennia before the K'laxi closed their gate. In fact, the Empress previous to me was on her way to personally open the gate when the memories stop. Captain Q'ari how old is your religion?"

She stops and thinks, avoiding my gaze. "No more than one thousand of our years, I'd say." So two thousand of ours. Just then Omar returns. "Here you go, Your liege" he says, bowing dramatically and extra silly, while presenting me with the translator on a napkin.

I giggle. What I am saying is pretty silly when taken out of context. I hold the translator and concentrate.

"Melody, your'e glowing!" Mei says, surprised. Ava looks and says "And you have a... crown? on your head?"

As if from nowhere, a breeze blows up around me and my uniform rustles. If I had long hair, it would probably be blowing dramatically at this point but my short spiky hair just flutters. I guess I could have just continued to poke and prod at it at my station like I was going to, but I need my worry confirmed. I'm pretty sure that given all the other things I can do, I can do this too. I try and... look inside the translator.

Hmm. It is a translator, but no software is loaded. Instead, malware was installed - poorly we might add - to try and render the wearer more pliant.

"It is as I had worried." I said to everyone. "This translator was a trap. Anyone who tried it was going to have some - frankly poor quality - malware installed either on their systems or themselves."

"On themselves?" Gene asks.

With glowing eyes, I look up at Gene. He shrinks back reflexively. "Sorry Melody, I guess if something can be installed on you, it could be done to us."

Fer'resi shakes his head sadly. "No, no translation help then. I guess we will have to do it ourselves."

Of course you don't have to do it on your own. You're the Empress. Make them give the correct software to your linguist.

"No Fer'resi. I don't think we'll have to do it ourselves." I put the translator down on the table. "Ava, Fer'resi, Mei'la, come. Let's go and pay the administration offices a visit."

"Of course Melody!" Ava practically jumps out of her chair. "Do we need our pressure suits or just our uniforms?"

I look at the three of them. "No, I will take care of it." With a thought, I realize how they should look. How they're supposed to look. The Nanites surround them in a grey fog, completely obscuring them for a moment. After a very short time, they reappear.

Now, they're in Royal Blue outfits, cut smartly, and fitting perfectly. They're like the ships uniform, but a little more elaborate. They have orange yellow piping and little bits and extras here and there.

I changed my own uniform too. Also Royal blue with orange yellow accents, but more... Imperial. My crown of light and fog is colored to match and I find that I'm wearing wings made of the same light and fog material - it must be Nanites doing it. Remembering Ava's words, I gave myself better shoes with a bit of a heel and my uniform is very slightly lower cut. There's more than one kind of intimidation apparently. Without waiting to see if they are following me, I stride towards the airlock. "FarReach, record our exit." I say. "We are paying a visit to the administrative offices. No weapons this time."

"Okay Melody, is has been so logged. Good luck?"

"For them maybe. I don't need luck." I catch myself just a moment before it's too late. "But I appreciate your sentiment. Thank you FarReach."

New year, New couple

Eddie munson x reader

Friends pinning over each other

Authors note: in this everyone has a partner but the reader and Eddie

Steve decided to have a new years eve party this year, after everything that's happened he thought you guys should celebrate surviving another year. Everyone wanted to help out but Steve wanted it to be a surprise for the group so he refused help. The party started at 7 and he planned for everyone to spend the night so he made sure he had plenty of food, drinks, movies and everything else you could need for a party.

Nancy and Robin came over before anyone else to help set up the food and drinks even though Steve tried to get them to just relax. While they were setting up everything they started talking about you and Eddie. "I just don't understand how they're not already together." Nancy explains, "they already act like a married couple and they aren't even dating" Robin nods agreeing with her. "It's starting to bug me seeing them bicker and flirt at the same time, they just need to get together already." Steve gets this look on his face that concerns the girls, "harrington...what are you thinking about?" Robin asks nervously, "I think I have the perfect plan to get them together" Steve walks over to them and explains his plan.

It's around eight o'clock when everyone has arrived, and once everyone shows up Steve suggest watching a movie. Everyone agrees and find somewhere to sit, part one of the plan is about to start. You go to sit next to Robin when Nancy moves in and takes the seat, you don't think anything of it and you go to sit next to Dustin but Steve rushes and takes that seat. The only seat left is right next to Eddie and it's a tight squeeze. "You can sit next to me, I don't mind." Eddie tries to move over to make more room but there isn't much space left so you end up practically on his lap. When you sit down Eddie blushes feeling you so close to him, you try to focus on the movie completely missing Robin and Nancy giving each other a high five.

It's nearly midnight when you all finish the stack of movies, Steve turns on the countdown so you can watch the ball drop at midnight. "You know, you really need to kiss someone at midnight so you have a good year next year, it's like tradition." Steve announces to the group. Dustin rolls his eyes "that's not true" "Oh yeah? And how good have you're years been when you don't kiss someone Dustin?" Steve asks knowing the past few years have been difficult for everyone. "Okay, okay we'll kiss someone jeez"

You look around the room and everyone has someone to kiss but you and Eddie. The clock is ticking down. 10....9....8....

Eddie looks over at you and sees you're already looking at him

7....6....5....4....

As the clock ticks down Eddie leans closer to you as you do the same. The whole world is tuned out and all you can focus on is Eddie.

3....2...1....Happy new year!

Eddie closes the gap between the two of you and kisses you with so much passion the air is knocked out of your lungs. You gasp into the kiss and pull him closer to you. His hands move to your hips as he deeps the kiss. With his lips on you it feels like fireworks are going off.

You guys continue the kiss until you hear Dustin fake gag "ugh that's absolutely disgusting, don't you two need to breathe?!" You hear Robin smack the back of his head "shut it dingus" you pull away to see Dustin roll his eyes. Turning back to Eddie you see he's already staring at you with reddened cheeks, "that was....wow" he says breathless. "Would...would you like to go out on a date this weekend?" Eddie asks nervously, instead of responding you kiss him again.

Robin and Nancy high five again as Steve fist pumps in the air. The plan was a success.

Happy new year!!!! I really hope this year is wonderful for everyone!

If you enjoy my work please consider following, liking, reblogging and commenting it all means the world to me <3

Thanks for tagging me @eulaliasims

1. What’s your favourite sims death? Never thought about having a favourite, maybe the cowplant? Or maybe when death results from something usually mundane like hail or lightning (I’ve had that one).

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match? Mainly Maxis match, but I think of my style as like 90% MM and 10% semi-realistic (more on the BB side) because I do find the occasional thing that fits in with my style from that aesthetic. And I feel like my style is somewhere between the true Maxis match and the cartoony style.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? No? Seems odd!

4. Do you use move objects? Constantly, it’s on more than it’s off. I have an alias set up in my cheat file.

5. Favorite mod? Wow that’s a hard one to narrow down, so I’m gonna choose a few. Based on what has the biggest and most widespread effects, I’d say ACR, Community Lot time, and the whole Traits system (that’s cheating since it’s a million mods but I don’t care lol)

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Would have been the very first pack, so University I guess! When the games came out I was living at home still and my mom played too, so we always got them relatively soon. Uni came out a month or so before my birthday so I suspect I probably got it as a gift that year.

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? LIVE as in LIVING, @eulaliasims is 1000% correct.

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? So not counting born in game? Sort of a tie but I’ve always been very fond of Joshua and Roxanne Lewis, they were two of Brightmaple’s founders - the first ones I thought up, and first ones I created.

9. Have you made a simself? Yes, in my old neighbourhood, I was a vampire along with the Sim version of my cousin. We lived in a huge Victorian mansion I built where I sent all the vampires in the hood to live.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself? Brooding, couch potato, good, loves the heat, hopeless romantic

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? Don’t really have one I guess.

12. Favorite EA hair? Also don’t really have one lol.

13. Favorite life stage? Probably adult because the most happens, but I also really enjoy toddler which is a hot take in most circles.

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? Both! The building is fun and a creative outlet for me, but I do it so I can create more immersive and enjoyable worlds to play in too.

15. Are you a CC creator? Yes but on and off, I do it purely for fun and primarily for things I want in my game. So I take long breaks of making nothing at all, when I’m not in the mood.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? I wouldn’t really say so? I do chat with people from time to time and have lots of great acquaintances on here! I find it to be a generally very nice community. But I usually find online friendship difficult since I find it harder to read people purely through text with no baseline for knowing them irl, for things like tone of voice/mannerisms/body language and just general vibe.

17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4) Well I think it’s pretty obvious TS2 has ruined all other games for me (not just other Sims games either).

18. Do you have any sims merch? nope

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims? Actually yes! For speed builds.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? Gotten more Maxis match in terms of aesthetic, if you scroll back to like, pre-2017 on my blog you can see that for sure. For play style it’s a lot more structured - pure rotational so ages sync, more wants based, paying a lot more attention to their personalities etc.

21. What’s your Origin ID? I’ve been playing with either the RPC Launcher or a no-CD crack since the day I switched to the UC, so although I do have an Origin ID I’ve literally used it probably twice ever. So no idea!

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator? There’s too many to pick!

23. How long have you had a simblr? My very first Simblr post was July 31, 2016. Before that I had a bit of a hiatus from playing for a few years, and before that I was on Livejournal/Dreamwidth.

24. How do you edit your pictures? My photo editing program (PSP8) is literally from the era of TS2 itself, which seems appropriate. It’s always worked perfectly well for me - I downloaded Photoshop a couple times but always found doing the same actions clunky and unfamiliar, so I stick with what I know. I adjust curves, saturation, and add a very slight (probably imperceptible) bloom effect. Then I crop in, and I resize by width - meaning my pics are always the same width, but the height varies slightly. I prioritize getting everything into the frame that I want, and don’t really care if the heights are different.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? If I were making up hypothetical TS2 EP’s? I wouldn’t have minded something like Superstar from the Sims 1, having my Sims become famous (if it was done more like OFB/hands on style rather than “off to work in a carpool for the day” style) would have been pretty fun.

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? That’s really tough to pick. Probably Seasons (such world building!), Freetime (the hobbies system adds so much depth for me!) or Open For Business (my whole hood has no EA careers and only businesses sooo...) or Pets?? I love my Sims having pets. They’re all so good!

I’m seeing this going around, so please allow me to tag @you if you haven’t been yet and wanna do this!

Tagged by @jamietarttdodododododo who used my own ask against me but let's do this!

1.How many stories did you post?

Five!

2. Which ones were your favorites?

Oh God You're Gonna Get It (You Have Not Been Given Love). That is my biggest pet project and the one that gets the majority of my energy.

Also, all of them.

But also that one.

3. Which one was the most satisfying to write?

In wanting to not answer every question with OGYGGI(YHNBGL), I'm going to say Low Battery. While I am enjoying the challenge of writing the core story from a static pov, I love digging into what's going on in Jamie's head at the same time. Possibility this will happen again? Very high.

4. The most difficult?

I think The Vacant House Behind Our Home. Since it is a different genre entirely from the show itself, it's tricky to find the correct balance of tone. I also think there's an added difficulty of knowing that since it is so niche, the audience for it is naturally going to be limited. I still love it though

5. Rec something that you're proud of.

Again, bringing some variety to the table - I really like how somebody's hands who felt like mine turned out. It's much shorter than I usually write, and I wrote and published all in one sitting. That said, I've gotten such lovely comments about it. I'm really happy with it.

6. Wow us with whatever big thing you might want to work on next!

More! Fucking! Chapters!

7. Show us that word count stat!

Posted to AO3? 29,355 words

Not posted? For Ted Lasso, I have written 197,454 words. I am still writing more tonight and I'm going to see if I can crack 200,000.

Tagging @altschmerzes and @abubblingcandle next to celebrate their year's worth of cool stuff!

#tag game #ask box is always open #writing progress #year in review

*GASP* 😱🤩😁

Awesome! Thanks! Wow, okay. You know what? I'm gonna be a mad woman and answer ALL OF THEM. Eheheheheheh. Let's go! Under the cut since this thing is LOOOOOOOOOONG.

1. Do I prefer one-shots or multiple chapter fic's? Hm. Hard to say. Although, I do enjoy connecting plots and references in multiple chapter fics. So I'm gonna go with that one.

3) Describe the writing process. Well, first I make a scene map. It's a jist of what will happen of the course of the story as a whole. It keeps everything inline and easy to rearrange if something doesn't work or won't make sense. Then I just wing it and add the action and dialogue. I've found that it works really well!

4) Where do I find inspo? EVERYWHERE! Disney movies and life experience especially. I love classic adventure films/comedies. But for the more emotional bits I sometimes struggle. So then I'll turn to book and movies with more emotional plots. Or I'll just try my best to imagine the emotions the characters are going through. I especially like writing about domestic family life and love. And I find a lot of inspiration from those kinds of stories. Especially since my fic is basically the Brotherhood and Vat7k merged. I haven't got to those parts yet, but I will!

6) Do I beta my work? Nope. Haha. Well, sometimes. My little brother actually enjoys hearing my stories. So I'll read him a chapter sometimes. And my mom likes to listen too. So that counts I guess. They give me good feedback. And I have a friend that reads it after I published it and they give me good feedback as well.

7) Everyone's it seems! You get to hear all their thoughts. It just depends on which one is talking at the moment. Or what's going on.

8) Do I enjoy the beginning, middle, or end of a story? End! Because that's were everything is wrapped up and makes sense! Although, if the ending is poorly done, it will irk me to no end.

10) Er, yeah. I'm writing this on my phone. I don't think it can do that. Sorry.

12) Well, I makes me a little sad when I don't. But it makes sense too since I don't have a very well known fic and since it takes me a while to update. So I understand.

13) NONE OF THEM!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lol. Yeah, I figured that actually when I write, that it I focused too much on the rules and tips, it actually caused me writers block and became less fun for me.. So I just throw caution to the wind and run with whatever idea I got!

14) How do I write emotional scene? With lot of crying. From me... And preferably with some tissues beside me. Haha. Anyway, jokes aside. I'm not to sure. It seems to be a hit and miss for me. Sometimes I've got big moving scenes that will make you ball. And other times it's like "He was sad." :/

16) Ooh! I do have one actually! It will probably be in the distant future. But it's a modern version of my fic and it involves aliens, unstable government projects, an awesome foster family, and a ranch! It's super cool! In case your wondering, SPOILER ALERT! The aliens are where Varian got his Moon powers and how Ulla disappeared.

17) When does writing become difficult. Writer's block is definitely one. But burnout? Burnout is the worst! *Insert Ben Schwartz yelling "THE WOOOORST!"*

18) That's interesting actually because sometimes I do and I'll leave them to write later. I have a bunch like that! I helps me keep track of everything I want to write. But I don't lable them too far into the fic. It's mostly one shots I do this with.

19) I don't have ao3. But most used tag here is Alchemy Bros!

20) There's a lot of sadness. I know that sounds bad, but I'm writing a continuation of a role play I followed and that eventually ended on a cliffhanger. Before that, the characters went through lot of trauma and the story I'm writing is basically the whole family healing together. Which is very sweet I think. Of course there will be action though! And fun!

21) Would I ever collaborate? Not sure how to do that. But, I usually prefer to work on my own. I like being able to adjust things to how I like it. And while I'm sure a collaboration would be fun, I like to keep the story mostly in my hands. So I don't think it would be a good idea.

22) Anything heavily adult. Never ever. I hate heavy gore, smut, and swearing. Nothing like that will ever be in my fics. Even if a character gets a severe injury, it will only be vaguely mentioned.

23) Best writing advice? If you need a break, take a gosh dang break! I have to learn this myself. But it is effective. If you tired and you body telling you rest, do it!

24) I can't think of anytime I've actually got bad writing advice. At least, nothing comes to mind.

25) Any of them really.

27) Writing romance. That is the hardest thing ever! I'm way better at platonic relationships and family bonds. Romance can sometimes be just to cringy to me.😅

29) I pretty much just read it through and if I see something I don't like, I just fix it. If it's a big thing though, it off to the scene map to switch things around again! Or cut things out if necessary.

31) Characters or plot? Hm... That's an interesting one. I can't really say because the thing is when I get a really good idea, it just kind explodes in my mind! I know what characters are going to be what and what will happen. But maybe when it's not like that, I guess you could say it's the Characters. Like, if I'm coming up with an Au, I'll usually figure out who I want where and then I'll figure out the plot. I'm not sure if this all makes sense. I'm flying by the seat of my pants right now.😂

33) Do I want my work published? YES YES YES YES!!! AJAJSHSHDGDHDKAKA! I planning on becoming a script writer someday! I love writing scripts for TV shows and movies! Book writing is fun too though and I might do that as well.

34) Hopefully happy with plenty of work published. And having made lots of people's lives better and more exciting.😁

35) Don't forget what type of villain you have. It's so easy it seems for people to forget. Do you want one that we will sympathize with? Make them sympathetic. Don't make him a horrible person and then expect us to feel bad for them. You want us to hate them? Then don't make the likeable! It's crazy how many times I've seen this.

38) Nope! Don't take commissions. Don't take requests. I got a very busy life and that would probably send me straight over the edge! Haha!

39) WIP snippet? Of course! Here! Not the best, but I've got one!

40) Oh gosh. Nobody's done that. I would be thrilled! But thanks to burnout, I'm only two chapters into the fic so there wouldn't be much to draw. Lol! But I would love to see art of future chapters I have planned. Lots of family fluff and action scenes! I guess if I had to choose a scene from a chapter I already have, then maybe the one we're Ulla has finally been taken outside the library by Varian and his friends and they're all looking out over Corona from the grassy base of the mountain. It's a very peaceful scene. Not too much happens, but it's calm.

41) I reread constantly! I several favorites that I like to read all the time!

46) Definitely emotional and action driven. There's no in-between. Either we're sobbing or diving head long in the fray!

47) My process. Number 1. Write fic. Number 2. Proof read. Number 3. Post. Number 4. Edit because I realized that I was so tired out that misspelled ten words, completely looked over a gaping plot hole, and forgot to add the chapter links. In short, I'm pretty chaotic!

48) Don't know. Never looked into one.

49) Nobody reads my stuff enough to warrant a bad review. 🤣🥲 But yeah. I'd probably handle it pretty well though!

51) Don't have an account! Probably won't ever either! I prefer it here. On cozy Tumblr.😊

52) I always respond to comments! Why? Well, sometimes I leave comments and people don't answer. I understand of course. People get busy, or are to tired. Everyone deals with that. But of course, it always makes me just a bit sad because I like talking to people. I don't want anyone to feel that way! Everyone is welcome! I'll be happy to talk to you. No matter what!

54) Writing practice! It helps for someday when I'll be publishing my stuff!

55) Definitely Hugo! I love him and connect with him a lot too. I especially like the version of him from the roleplay I followed. In my opinion, he was one of the best versions I've seen of him. Not overly sexualized or vulgar. And much more empathetic. That's why I'm continuing his story!

56) I love the fact I can use symbolism or deeper meaning's in my writing. Little things that seem un-important. But really mean everything. And I hope that as more people read my work, they'll get to see it more.

57) I prefer editing as I write. But sometimes I go over the top and tire myself out. So I need to learn to rein it in and relax. Gotta to remember to not sweat the small stuff.

58) The brainstorming! Coming up with world building and epic action movie style scenes to take place is my jam!

60) I do actually! My friend @cassandrium360 is amazing and read their stuff before befriending them! Afterwards, they told me to let them know when I new chapter was coming out so I could show them everytime! I was ecstatic! And it's been that way ever since! I love them to pieces!

61) Because I like sharing with people! That's it really.

62) Cliffhangers? Hate them. I hate them with a passion. It's one of my pet peeves. So many good shows and movies are ruined by the them. They're almost as bad as a sloppy ending.

65) The finale of my story should epic! And I also look forward to maybe doing some animatics based on certain chapters. I'm not too good yet. But I'm gonna get there!

67) I like prompts sometimes. I prefer to find them myself. But I will ask every once in a while. If I'm particular uninspired.

68) Listen to music. I can imagine whole movies and animations to one song. It's something I've been able to do since I was little. And it helped me in the long run with my writing!

70) I get a little embarrassed. But I think that's because I'm shy. I'm much more comfortable on here actually!

71) Once again, the scene map saves lives! If you want to know how to do one, just send my message and I'll show you!

72) Beginning to end! Start to finish. I hate writing things out of order.

73) It's definitely different from most Varian and the Seven Kingdoms fics. The most notable thing is that there's no Varigo. Varian and Hugo are in a healthy brotherly relationship. And in fact, Hugo is practically adopted by Ulla and Quirin. Also, instead of Nuru and Yong, I have two characters from the roleplay Jacky and Belle in their place. Nuru and Yong weren't included in the roleplay very much, so I decided not to use them. And instead say that they left earlier in the journey to go home. Since they had found whatever they were looking for. Jacky and Belle are super fun actually and I love them. Great characters!

75) The chapter I'm on now. It's been almost a whole fricken year! And it's 95% finished! And YET, I'm still struggling.😭 Oh well.🤷 I'll get there!

76) I remember one thing I thought about this one thing were Hugo's birth dad Alec*, who is a horrible person and tried to to take him out, tried to kidnap him and Varian and the family would have to rescue him! It didn't make the cut though and now I have a new villain. Alec will still be there, but not as the kidnapper. *Alec is another character from the roleplay*

77) Yes! The one we're Ulla finally get out of library! It's in the first chapter and it's very sweet. Plenty of hugs and comfort.

WOW!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I did it! Alright. Time to pass out. Thanks for the ask! Bye! *faints*🤣

Fic Writer Interview

Wow, thank you @energievie & @vintagelacerosette & @thisdivorce for tagging me in this!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

160 fics!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,727,092 words!

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Quiet Rapture : 28,800

Blood Moon : 15,920

Crybaby : 14,535

Helloooo, Nurse! : 12,228

Let’s Be Alone Together : 11,526

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I used to respond a lot more, but over the years, it’s harder to find time to sit and respond to them all. For example, one of my fics has over 7,000 comments. The average amount of comments I’ll get on a one-shot fic for a certain fandom can be 100-200 and it can take me literal hours to reply to them all in a thoughtful way. As a single parent with a lot of serious daily health battles (kidney failure, immunocompromised, regular migraines, PTSD, etc), it’s unfortunately really difficult to carve out hours of time to reply. I treasure my comments and they keep me writing, so I hope my continued writing is an adequate thanks.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

LOL Meat Grinder and The Most Human Color. Both are horror based. They were some of my most fun to write, personally, but only the brave ever seems to read them once in a while hehe.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

99% of my fics have happy endings. I love a happy ending.

7. Do you write crossovers?

A few, but it’s not my specialty or anything.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

ALL THE TIME LOL. It’s just the territory when you become a well-known writer for ‘ship that people don’t approve of. It’s a normal thing for me to receive hate comments on a monthly basis since 2017. Anime fandoms suck in terms of how hateful they’re willing to get.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I’d say I’m known for writing smut. Like, that is my jam. I have 88 Explicit fics, so whatever it is, I’ve probably explored it on some level, minus extremely hard kinks.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah. Semi-regularly. Very frustrating.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, several!

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Uhhh. Started to. The rest of the people got bitchy about how they wanted the fic to go and I dipped.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Impossible to say. My first fandom ship was Kirk/Spock, which is how I became known for my fanfic. But my readers are primarily BakuDeku and that was my hyperfixation from 2017-2020. However, my comfort ship that I read to chill out when life is rough is good ol’ Arthur/Eames and Merthur and Hannigram, and recently I have 77 bookmarked Gallavich fav fics which is the most bookmarks for a specific ship that I have. I dunno, I really don’t think I have an all-time fav!

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I’m very good at finishing WIPs. I am currently haunted by Crybaby, which I am working on. So, one that I don’t think I’ll ever finish is Keep Calm and Conceal Vulcans from way back in my KirkSpock days. I still get comments of old readers asking to finish it.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue. Sex. Keeping pace without dragging ass.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Pausing to describe settings for more than two sentences.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Keep it brief, keep it intuitive so the reader can generally understand what’s happening anyway.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Star Trek! A Valentine’s Day exchange in Feb 2010.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

The Witcher. I have several WIPs that sit around for that. Knowing me, I’ll wait ‘til the fandom has full crashed and burned, then roll up with three back to back fics that five people will read. And that’s fine, it’s all about the joy of writing!

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Out of 160 fics?! Impossible. Uhhh. . .I’ll say Quiet Rapture because it has brought me an immense form of healing. But a lot of my one-shots brought me immense joy to write.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! I'm tagging my lovelies @tierfal & @diemarysues so I can spy all their answers! The quiz is under the Read More!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

7. Do you write crossovers?

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

15. What are your writing strengths?

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

sub-atomic study challenge 🌱

Soo... this blog is kind of dead because I found out very quickly that there's no time to post when you're trying to cram all that info into your head.

I want to try and get motivated a bit, so when I saw this simple study challenge, I decided to give it a try!

🌒 🌓 🌔 Here we go! 🌖 🌗 🌘

Day 1: Let's start easy, what subject(s) are you studying?

Molecular biology & biochemistry of organisms. (that's the official name!)

Day 2: What inspired you to take your subject(s)?

At first, the stuff we learned in our biology classes (mostly cells).

Then, I watched Cells At Work (I loved it!) and realized that it was learning about blood cells and immunity that sparked that interest in me and that I could focus on them.

And here I am!

Day 3: Where/When do you get most of your work done?

Day 4: What is your favourite topic within your subject(s)?

Day 5: If you were to describe your subject(s) in one word what would that word be?

Day 6: Where would you like your subject to take you?

Day 10: What subject related book would you recommend to read?

Day 11: Do you have any hobbies or special talents?

Day 12: What’s a movie you enjoy that’s related to your field of study?

Day 13: What misconception about your subject annoys you?

Day 14: What did you want to be growing up?

Day 15 Who is your STEM idol?

Day 16: Do you know any funny STEM jokes or puns?

Day 17: What article or video have you seen recently that fascinated you?

Day 18: Do you have a wow thats so cool moment/memory from your subject?

Day 19: Whats your favourite equation or formula?

Day 20: When you’ve had a bad/long day what makes you feel better?

Day 21: What textbook are you currently working from?

Day 22: What’s something you plan on learning to do?

Day 23: If you had to take a different subject/course what would it be?

Day 24: What colour do you associate with your subject?

Day 25: STEM subjects tend to have complex looking/sounding words, what’s your favourite?

Day 26: What makes your subject beautiful/interesting?

Day 27: If you could, is there something you would tell your younger self?

Day 28: Is there a cool gadget or experiment you like?

Day 29: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Day 30: You made it!! Take some time to reflect on the last 30 days.

GoChi Winter Event 2022 - Day 4

Days [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Title: In The Snow Pairing: Goku/Chi-Chi and Gohan/Videl Characters: Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Goten, Misaki (OC) and Videl Summary: The Son family enjoys a day in the snow . Cross-posted on AO3 and FFN

“Mommy! Mommy!” Seven-year old Goten ran excitedly downstairs on that Christmas’ morning to see what he has gotten as presents, but the white sight in the corner of his eyes caught his attention and he ran to window in the living room. “It’s snowing!” Chi-Chi walked in not too long after and looked through the window too, with a smile. “Mom, can we go outside, please?” “It’s probably too cold, darling. It snowed all night.” “We wear warm clothes. Please, please, please.” He begged. “We’ll get daddy and Gohan to come along. And Misaki too.” “Well, it won’t do any harm I suppose.” She stepped away from the window. “Let’s do it.” Chi-Chi was leaning against the door while she watched her three boys and her girl having the time of their lives in the snow. She had been there herself minutes ago, but had to take a moment to get herself together. It had been a difficult year with Majin Buu attacking the Earth and either turning most of the Earthlings into candy to eat them. She couldn’t help but think it was a truly blessing they were back to life. “Okay, this isn’t fair.” Goku’s voice echoed around while he complained about being attacked by a snowball from Goten. “I’m holding your sister.” “You said no rules in this game.” Goten defended himself. “I’m just playing by your rules.” “Where is your brother when I need him? Gohan!” “Don’t look at me. I can’t do anything with Misaki right there.” “You’re not attacking me, we’re in the same team. You need to hit your brother.” “Actually, if I remember correctly you said you wanted to be on your own and that I should be paired with Goten.” “That’s right.” The youngest member of the family turned into his Saiyan form very easily, surprising both his father and older brother. Goku looked towards the door where Chi-Chi was last time he checked, but she was no longer watching them. He wondered if she had walked in because of Goten taking their game too seriously. Then he grinned and turned to his sons. “I have an idea.” “What is it, dad?” “Didn’t you notice your mother was feeling a little upset or something? She was so excited about coming out here and now she’s gone.” “Maybe she just went back inside to cook something.” “I’m not convinced.” He walked to Gohan. “Can you stay with Misaki for a moment? I need to look for her.” “Alright.”

**** Goku walked inside the house and looked for his wife everywhere on the ground floor, with no luck at all. “Chi-Chi, where are you?” But there was no response, so he became as quiet as he could to see if he could hear any sound and also tried to sense her ki. It didn’t take long for him to find out she was upstairs in their bedroom. “There you are.” He walked into their room and found her sitting on their bed with her legs crossed and a photo album over them. “What are you doing?” “I’m just looking at this photo album.” “Oh wow, the boys were so young!” Goku exclaimed when he sat down beside her and stared at the pictures. “They still are.” Chi-Chi said emotional and a few water drops tainted the transparent plastic that covered the photos. “Oh no, are you crying?” “I’m sorry, I can’t help it.” She let go of the photo album and covered her face with her hands. “Hey.” He grabbed her hands and took them down. Then he pulled her towards him and rubbed her back gently as she cried on his chest. “Do you want to share what’s making you upset?” “It’s just… it’s been a hell of a year, you know?” Her voice came out in a muffled way. “First Majin Buu appeared and brought complete chaos to Earth. He killed, transformed into candy or absorbed almost all of our family. All hope seemed to be lost. And now Gohan’s got a girlfriend and he’s going to move away sooner than I thought.” The Saiyan smiled warmly and felt his shoulders relax as he held his wife closer. “But Chi-Chi, isn’t Gohan having a girlfriend supposed to be a good thing? Videl seems like a great girl.” “She really is.” Chi-Chi finally pulled away from his chest and stared into his beautiful black eyes. “But Gohan is still my little boy.” “He won’t be marrying her right away, though. So he’ll still be living with us for a couple more years.” “I know.” She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked away. “I know I should be happy for him, but I feel like time flew by so fast. I feel like he was just a child last week and now he’s sixteen. And then Goten will be next and we’ll only have Misaki.” “Why don’t you look at this in another perspective? Our family will be getting bigger… soon we’ll become grandparents.” “Oh Kami, I’m not really ready for that, but I do want to be a grandma.” “I’ll tell you what? Why don’t we think about this when the time comes?” He suggested. “Let’s just enjoy this Christmas’ Day together. Goten was so excited about it.” “You’re right. I’m sorry.” “No, don’t apologize. It’s totally okay.” Goku stood up and offered Chi-Chi his hand. “The boys were having a snow fight before I left. We might want to check on them.” “Let’s go.” “Are you okay, though?” “I’m fine.” She gave him a small warm smile. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. There’s something you should know, by the way.” “What is it?” “Goten can also turn into a Saiyan.” “He too?” “That’s right.” “At this point I don’t get surprised anymore. I just learned to accept it.” “Yeah.” He started walking out and pulled her along. “Come on, let’s go back outside. We’re missing all the fun.” **** “Daddy is coming!” Goten exclaimed excitedly and bent down to make a large snowball to throw at him. “Goten, wait!” Gohan tried to stop him, but it was too late. He looked towards the door with widened eyes and an expression of shock in his face. It didn’t take long for the youngest Saiyan to realize what had happened too. He rushed towards Chi-Chi and immediately started taking the snow away from her. “I’m so sorry, mommy! I didn’t mean to hit you, I was supposed to hit dad. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” “It’s okay, sweetie.” Chi-Chi ruffled the top of his spiky black hair softly. “I’m not angry or anything.” “But I say there should be a revenge.” Goku came out from behind her with a large grin on his face and turned into his Saiyan form before kneeling down to get a snowball himself. He held it on his palm and looked at his son. “So I suggest you start running right now.” “Goku, don’t do this.” “We’re just joking around, Chi-Chi. We’re playing.” “Okay, just make sure you don’t throw it too hard on him.” “He’s strong, he can take it.” He looked at his right. “Ready or not, here I come.” Chi-Chi crossed the yard covered in snow to watch Goku playing with Goten next to Gohan. As she was getting closer, Videl walked towards him as well. So she stopped and watched them for a while. He avoided any intimate contact with his girlfriend because he felt embarrassed Chi-Chi was looking at them. “I’m not going to interrupt you two. I’ll just take Misaki.” She stretched her arms towards her daughter and she threw herself towards her. “She’s in the phase where she’s walking all around and we need to pay attention to her all the time.” “She’s such a cutie. How old is she?” “She’s a year and three months old.” “Oh, yes, definitely the time babies are really active.” “I just realized you’ve never met her, have you?” “No, I haven’t. Is it okay if I hold her?” “Uh…” Chi-Chi glanced at Gohan, to make sure he wasn’t embarrassed by the situation. She smiled when he very subtly nodded at her. “Sure.” “I think I’m going to check on dad and Goten.” He stood up. “To make sure they aren’t taking their snowball fight too seriously.” “Snowball fight?” “Yeah, Goten woke up very excited about Christmas and got even more when he saw it was snowing. And somehow he got all of us to come out here and play.” “He’s such a sweet boy. You know what, I could join a snowball fight too.” “Really? You want to join it?” “I do.” “My father can be overly strong sometimes. He’s very competitive.” “Please, I can be competitive too.” “Alright then.” Gohan stretched his hand towards her and pulled her up when she grabbed it. “Let’s go play.” “Can we be a pair?” “Aren’t we one already?” “I guess we are… actually, we definitely are.” “Thought so.” He pulled her towards where Goku and Goten were. “Just to make sure I don’t get any surprises, how competitive is he?” “I think you’ll do just fine.” He smiled at her over his shoulder. **** In the middle of the morning, the whole family was already inside the house. They were sitting by the fireplace drinking hot chocolate and wrapped up in warm blankets. Goten could barely contain his excitement when Chi-Chi walked to it and grabbed the first pair of socks hanging over it. “Okay.” She turned around and looked at each one of their faces. “This one is for Goten.” “Yay!” He barely waited until she fully handed it to him and immediately emptied it by turning it upside down and letting its content fall on the floor in front of him. “Look at this amount of candy!” “But don’t eat it all at once or you won’t have lunch soon.” “Oh, he would, believe me. Saiyans can be insatiable most of the times.” “Don’t I know it?” She sighed. “You should get ready for it right now, Videl, so you won’t be surprised.” “I-I…” She looked away with completely flushed cheeks and pretended to have a cough attack, while Gohan nearly choked with his hot chocolate and started punching his throat, coughing too. “Come on, son.” Goku tapped him on the back with a huge grin on his face. “There’s no need to be ashamed of it.” “Dad.” He covered his face with his hand. “This one is for Misaki.” Chi-Chi gave a starred red sock to her daughter, who immediately did the same as Goten did a few minutes ago. The girl looked at his candies and grabbed one for herself. “Hey!” “Your candies are better than mine.” She frowned and looked at her mother. “Mommy, I want Goten’s candies.” “No way, they’re mine.” He bent over them and hid them under his body. “You have yours.” “Mommy.” Misaki resorted to crying to get her way. “Goten, you shouldn’t be so mean with your younger sister.” “But mom…” Goten used her technique. “She has her own candy and took one of mine.” “I know, sweetheart. But she doesn’t understand it yet. She’s only a little more than a year.” “What if we give one of hers to him and then they’re even?” Goku suggested. “We always taught our children about action and consequences.” “You have a good point.” Chi-Chi walked to Misaki and took one of her candies to give it to Goten. As expected, she started crying harder. “Darling, I need you to listen to me. You can’t take your brother’s sweets, you have your own. I know his seems more tasty, but yours is as well, I promise.” “Wow, Gohan… I thought your mother was a strict person with you and Goten, but that was pretty cool.” “That’s just a facade. She’s an amazing woman.” “Yeah, I can see that.” “Well…” Chi-Chi stood up. “Since everything is settled over here, I will start making lunch. Would you mind helping me, Videl?” “No, of course not.” Videl quickly put her mug away and stood up. “I’d be happy to.” “Great!” The older brunette smiled and went to the kitchen, followed closely by the younger fighter. **** The snow had started coming down once again in the evening. Chi-Chi put on a warm coat and a red beanie and leaned against the wall outside, simply staring at the event. Gohan had taken Viden home a couple of hours ago and Goten and Misaki were still taking their afternoon nap, as well as Goku. Or so she thought. “Gohan hasn’t returned yet?” “No.” She shook her head. “And I don’t think he’s coming back anytime soon.” “It’s snowing again.” He looked over his left shoulder. “That’s going to be a standard for the next three months. The kids are still sleeping?” “Yep. Goten was worn out from the day.” “Not to mention he got bored when Gohan left.” “He really looks up to him.” He stepped into the snow with only his white T-shirt and turned around to look at her. “That’s true. Goku, what are you doing? You’re gonna catch a cold if you don’t put on warm clothes.” “Don’t worry, Chi-Chi. I survived a fatal heart disease, a simple cold won’t kill me.” “Saiyans can be so stubborn.” She said lightly. “You should have known that by now. There are four in our house.” “You’re absolutely right.” “Come here.” “What for?” Chi-Chi raised her eyebrows at him. “I’m perfectly fine over here.” “Am I gonna have to pick you up?” Goku took a few steps towards her. “Don’t make me fight you, Goku. You know I can do it.” “So do it.” He stopped abruptly and knelt down, making a small snowball and throwing it at her. “Ahh this is so cold! Alright then.” She did the same and then rushed in his direction, ready to throw a few punches at him. Not surprisingly at all, he blocked all her attacks and held her wrist with the least strength he could, so he wouldn’t hurt her. “Game on?” “Absolutely.” She grinned at him mischievously and back stepped away from him when he let her go. “But no powers. You’re way stronger than me. Let’s keep it a fair and normal snowball fight.” “Sounds perfect to me.” “No flying either.” “Now that’s a bummer.” “If we’re gonna play, these are the rules. Besides, I’m still learning how to control my flying skills.” “Okay, okay, that’s fair. No flying then.” “Thank you.” She turned her attention to the snow and made several snowballs as her ammunition. Once she was done, she grabbed one of them and searched for her husband, but he was nowhere to be found. “Should I assume he chickened out then?” “Not quite.” Goku’s voice echoed right behind her and she slowly turned her head around, only to find him with the most fake grin she’s ever seen. “I said no flying.” “I wasn’t flying. But you didn’t say anything about teleporting.” “Dammit! I hate you.” “I love you too, Chi-Chi.” He whispered in her ear. “But you shouldn’t forget one is going to use the weapons they have.”
