...I actually have almost the right number of WIP's to just use those, but I'll include some posted stuff too. And being super, super long, I'll put it all under a cut.
From WG, ch 63 (Solas/OFC, complete):
“Tell me something of your world, arasha.”
“My parents got divorced when I was ten. That means they permanently ended their marriage. I lived most of the time with my mom, but I spent summers at my dad's. He married again when I was thirteen. Jill, my stepmother, likes to garden.” She shifted away from him as she spoke, rinsing the soap from her back while he watched, listening intently. She took the soap back from him and turned him around, so she could return the favor.
“She planted herbs and vegetables that grew easily where we lived, peas, beans, tomatoes, that sort of thing. But she planted flowers too. I used to help her when I was younger, pulling weeds from the rose bed, trying not to get snagged on the thorns. In the evenings, we'd sit on the back deck and watch the wildlife in their yard. Sometimes there were hummingbirds that came and sipped from her bee balm. They're so tiny, no bigger than a butterfly. And they're quick and shy. You have to stay really quiet if you want to watch them. It always gave us a thrill to see them, especially late in the summer, when they were teaching their fledglings to fly.”
She cupped water in her hands to rinse away the soap and ignored the sting in her eyes. He was motionless under her touch, his head cocked, still listening. “My world is filled with technology, with busyness and noise and everyday chaos. To sit in the garden, perfectly still, to watch hummingbirds takes time and patience. A mindfulness to appreciate nature that isn't the least bit affected by the world around it.” She made a final pass of clean water over his back and then laid her palm against his skin, feeling him breathe. “I haven't seen any hummingbirds here.”
He turned in her arms and drew her close. She rested her head on his heartbeat and let him smooth back her curls, pressing the water out of them until they were springy. “We shall have to find them, you and I.”
From Junkyard Dogs, ch 14 (Hancock/F!SS, complete):
When the music was done, and settlers began drifting off one by one to seek their beds, Nora took his hand and walked with him to the quiet spot where they’d buried Nate. A simple small plinth marked it.
“There are no rituals left,” she said, grazing her fingers over the cut stone, “to mark the passing of those we’ve lost. No comfort in faith, no tokens of remembrance. In this new world, a cemetery is only a place you’ll likely find ferals. The meaning behind it has been lost.��� He stood quietly by her side, wondering what she was getting at. “I didn’t want that for Nate. I don’t want that for myself.”
She faced him then, and he could see she’d been crying silently, the tears steaking down her cheeks. He wiped them away with his thumb. She took his hand and pressed something small and warm into it. When he looked, he saw it was a ring of gold.
“Nora…”
“I want you to wear it, and I want you to understand what it symbolizes. It is the union of two people, who have agreed to commit themselves to each other.” She held up the hand bearing the ring’s twin. “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, any more than I knew what was going to happen that day we stepped into the Vault. So much of my life has ended, or changed beyond recognition. But this idea, at least for me, has not. I once had a dream of spending my life with the man I loved, of raising a family with him, of living out our lives together in harmony and happiness. And it was stolen from me, by Kellogg, by the Institute. Nate is gone, but the dream is not.”
From The Turning Tide (Iron Bull/OFC, WIP):
Mira ducked into her tent to find Bull propped on his elbow on her bedroll, the journal where she’d taken all her notes spread across his hands. It was all in shorthand, of course, the same one she’d used for years working for Leliana. She wasn’t sure if he could read it. She was equally unsure about whether or not she wanted him to. It would make things easier for her as far as explaining what she’d seen, but the disadvantage was that he could send back a far more detailed report to his superiors than she thought she wanted him to have access to.
“How’d he take it?” Bull asked. She would think it was absently given his tone of voice, but she knew him. Half blind or not, he never missed a thing.
“Academically. I don’t think the whole weight of it has hit him yet,” she replied, plucking the journal from his hands as she sat down in the space between his arms. He took the tacit invitation and wrapped them around her. Solid, strong and real. She leaned back against his chest and he held her up. She closed the journal and waved it at him. “Let Sister Nightingale see it first, okay? Then I’ll give you something to report back to Par Vollen.”
“Hmm. How bad was it, Chestnut?”
“In your own words, it wasn’t pretty. And you were right, it wasn’t.”
“Was it a good death?”
“No.” She let her voice turn flat. Because there was no universe in which what happened to him was a good thing. “It was only the best you could make it.”
From Destiny Is Just In the Timing (Varric Tethras/Shae Cadash, WIP):
Hawke was still tacking up when she reached him. He smiled down at her. “You don’t have to see me off.”
“Yes, I do.”
His smile turned a little melancholy, as if he was remembering that morning too. The day he left Kirkwall and she stood in the snow to watch him go. “I suppose there’s a precedent set.”
“Yes.”
He finished packing his mount and knelt down to her. They embraced as tightly as they could bundled up as they were. Fereldan he might be, but even Hawke wore a coat in these mountains. When he stood again, it was with reluctance, the first he’d shown since announcing his intention to leave them. But the decision was made, and none of them could change it now. Weisshaupt was expecting him.
“I’ll see you again, Inquisitor. This isn’t goodbye.”
“I will hold you to that, Champion.” She watched him get into the saddle and made way for the scouts who would be going with him down the trail. Before they left, however, he turned to her a final time and she called up to him. “Write to Fenris. Living, not just surviving, remember? Promise me.”
“I promise.”
“Fair weather and open roads, Garrett.”
“And to you, Shae.”
From Right Beside You (Eric/Sookie, WIP):
“You don’t entirely trust me, but you’re not afraid,” he said. Again, it was an observation, not a question. “My house. My things. Yours.” He cocked his head at her. “Are you mine?”
“I’m not.”
“Would you like to be?”
She opened her mouth to give him an automatic ‘no’, but the phrasing made her pause. His tone was so genuine, so earnest. He was actually asking, as if her opinion mattered to him. As if he would respect her wishes, no matter what they were. He seemed to realize that this was something more serious than an offhand inquiry, and let her go. But he didn’t move away, and neither did she. He always loomed over her, he was so tall and broad. And he was accustomed to using his size to intimidate. In all their years of acquaintance, she’d never let it bother her, and that had always seemed to entertain him. So many people feared Eric Northman. She often wondered if that was part of her appeal to him. She had never been one of them.
From Not a Bad Life? (Nine/Rose, WIP):
“Hey, come sit with me. Wearin’ out the floor isn’t going to get us out of here any faster.”
He grumbled a bit, but then he sat behind her, pulling her into the meager shelter of his body heat. They shifted the leather around so it covered her front while he was at her back. His knees rose beside hers and he leaned against the wall. They had a pair of bunks on the other side and a tiny toilet behind a screen, and that was it for the night’s accommodations. She supposed it could be worse; they hadn’t been separated.
She nestled against his hearts, listening to the double thump. As always, it soothed her. “We’ve gotten out of worse scrapes than this.”
“I know. I just don’t like being forced to wait around.”
“You’re so impatient.” Superior Time Lord, indeed.
“Aye.”
She stifled a snicker at the Northern coming out so strongly. “Ya know, you could always try resonating the concrete.”
He huffed against her hair. “Never gonna live that down, am I?”
“Nope. Hey, want you to know something. I wouldn’t trade any of the danger we’ve faced. You know that right?”
“Why not?”
“Because in exchange for it, I got you. You’ve shown me all these things, shown me a better way to live. To be. I wouldn’t give it up for anything. You’ve changed my life.”
From All the Earth and Air series (Lark Cadash/M!Hawke; Lark/Solas, WIP):
Hawke was surrounded by everyone who could fit into the tavern, telling tales and drinking more than a few tankards, judging by the empty ones littering the table. She pushed her way through the crowd, bringing two more with her. He made room for her next to him, sitting sideways on the bench so she was bracketed by his knees even with a polite distance between them. She made sure he ate.
Later, when the tales were all told and the bard was playing soft music to lull the patrons into peacefully finding their beds, they found themselves in a dark corner, nursing one last tankard each.
“Does it come off?” she asked, indicating the stripe of red across his nose and cheeks with a pointed finger. He swiped his thumb over it, grimacing behind his hand for a moment before looking back to her with his typical insouciant expression.
“Are you trying to get under my armor, Lark?” he asked with a sloppy sideways grin and another gulp of his ale.
She smiled back, soft and small, like a private joke. “Bare skin is honest. I have enough masquerading going on around me.”
“And all of them either too in awe of the title or too terrified of your mark to let it fall?”
“Yes.”
He made an effort to sit up straighter, to even out the crookedness of his commiserating look. “I'd ask if you wanted to go to your place or mine, but...well...” He gestured around at the tavern, and the fortress at large. “It seems to all be yours, doesn't it?”
“Come with me,” she said, standing up with barely a wobble and offering her hand to him.
From Some Kind of Resolution, ch 1 (FemShep/Nihlus Kryik, complete):
“Isn't henna a type of ink?”
“Yes, it is. I'm surprised a turian would know that, no offense.”
He gestured at his face. “Call it something that stands out culturally, as a form of marking.”
She nodded, thinking about the N7 tattoo on her upper arm. “Okay, I get it. In my case, it's just short for Jehanne.”
He was giving her a thorough look now. “Jehanne. Would that be Jehanne Shepard?” he asked after a moment.
This is it, she thought. Once they recognize my name, it's all over.
“Yes,” she answered, wary.
“I thought you looked familiar. Commander,” he inclined his head briefly. “You showed remarkable courage and skill at the Blitz. It made you something of a celebrity, didn't it?”
She made a face, equal parts disparagement and accepting. “Yeah.”
“It can be hard to live with.”
“Oh, would you know about that?”
“Some. Turians don't place the same sort of entertainment value on our heroes. Doing one's duty should be enough of a reward. You humans love to gossip, though, and put people on pedestals, if that's the right expression.”
“Ah, yes. Meritocracy, right? And yeah, that's the right expression.”
“You're well informed on the Hierarchy.”
“Alliance,” she said with a shrug of one shoulder. “I've studied your race, its history and whatnot. Well, really, we've gotten a crash course on all the races. It's a bit mind boggling, I'll admit. But...fascinating.”
“Hmm, fascinating,” he echoed her, and his voice had distinctly dropped from polite to interested. She wondered what it would be like...
“You wanna stay here and exchange cultural differences or you wanna get out here and experience some?” she asked boldly. His gaze turned calculating, but he smiled just the same. Without another word he signaled for the check.

Pre-relationship hankcon forced into awkward, compromising situations
Having to hide in a tight, enclosed space together on a stakeout
The classic trip-and-fall into each other, eyes wide and lips inches apart
Kidnapped and tied together. Bonus points if they have to pretzel themselves into awkward positions to try and get out of their binds
There was only one bed (of course)
Being mistaken as a couple while undercover. One of them starts denying it automatically, but the other one speaks brightly over them, playing along. Whoops! They’re fake-dating now for the rest of the case
Truth serum/virus. Connor blabs helplessly for an hour while Hank tries not to die. Or Hank slurs on and on while Connor tries to stay calm and collected enough to take care of him. Either way, it’s awkward as hell after the serum/virus wears off
Accidentally handcuffed together for an extended period of time due to the key getting lost/stolen. Connor having to stand on the other side of the shower curtain as Hank bathes. Sleeping on opposite ends of the bed. Connor yanking a cursing Hank along as he chases down a criminal. One of them becoming angry and/or disturbed at a crime scene and the other quietly taking their hand in the dark, squeezing gently.
Their friends all assume that they’ve been dating for at least a year. Hank chokes on his beer and Connor goes full yellow when the question comes up re: when they’re going to get engaged
Being stopped by street vendors who try and sell couples’ merchandise to them
“He’s not my boyfriend—”
“We’re just work partners—”
Spoilers: they were not just work partners
Near-death experience where, after making sure that they’re okay, the one who almost died rasps out a weak joke. The other one cuts them off by crushing their mouths together, before pulling away just as quickly.
Oops.
Shit.
#hankcon#Hank x connor#dbh#glass snippets#it’s about the awkwardness adding fuel to their mutual pining 🤌🤌🤌#until one or both of them break#thinking about them hours (24/7)

Got tagged by the awesome @cr-noble-writes <3 Thank you!
No pressure tags: @lonesurvivorao3, @ficbrish, @valka-arialitan, @mallaidhsomo, @nyamadermont, @clericofshadows & @kalliesa, if you feel inclined ^^
I only have one WIP I'm currently working on - The loneliest Hour - and the story only has 6 chapters. Ah well. Something from a one-shot, then? Perhaps? ;)
So, one snippet from every chapter of TLH + an yet untitled one-shot.
1. The music turned to a slower, more sensual rhythm that belied the lyrics accompanying the song. They spoke of hurt, of loneliness, of devastation; of loss so profound it threatened to rip you apart on the very seams of your being; of not being alone in that moment, of being allowed to lean on someone. Kaidan put up no resistance when Coats pulled him closer, encouraging him to accept it. It would take Kaidan a long time to come to terms with losing Shepard, to accept that he himself was still alive when so many good people had gone down with the Normandy.
2. He took a sharp breath when he felt Coats’ fingers sliding under his uniform shirt, unto his bare, sweat-damp skin on the small of his back.
“So, do I get to call you Daryl?” Kaidan whispered against Coats’ ear, revelling in the shiver that travelled through Coats’ body.
“You sure as hell get to call me Daryl,” Coats replied just as huskily, and Kaidan had to suppress a moan when Coats’ lips travelled along his hairline. Fuck.
3. He knew he would if he were interested in someone. “You know, you have an awful tendency to show up at the most convenient opportunities, Daryl,” he finally said, placing the glass back on the table and making sure his fingers brushed against Coats’.
A glint lit up Coats’ eyes, and he smirked. “Do I now.”
“Yes.” Kaidan narrowed his eyes, inclining his head slightly. “And you’re a shameless flirt, who neither calls nor writes.”
Coats snorted. “Same goes for you, Kaidan.”
“True. What’s your reason you never got in touch with me?”
Coats took a deep breath and stole Kaidan’s shot of whiskey, sniffing it before he took a careful taste. “I didn’t think you wanted that kind of attention from someone like me.” Coats’ words hit Kaidan directly in the gut. “The longer I didn’t hear from you, the more I believed it. What’s your excuse?”
4. “No need, James. It’s just that someone needs to drill it into the head of this idiot from time to time that he’s worth it. Especially when his man is not around.”
“Wait, what?” Vega’s eyes jumped from Kaidan to Shepard and back. “I thought… you two are… you know. Most of the crew do.”
Kaidan groaned. He had been waiting for it to happen and, frankly, it amazed him that it had taken so long to come up. Back on the first Normandy, Ash had waited a full two days to ask him if he was dating Shepard.
“We’re not together, James,” Shepard finally said after a moment of awkward silence.
“Why not?”
“Because I won’t fuck up the best friendship I’ve ever had for a lay I wouldn’t enjoy anyways,” Shepard replied. “But that is beside the point.” He sighed. “I appreciate the sentiment, Kaidan. I really do, but it had to be me. Leviathan only let me go because it was me, because of who I am. It would’ve killed you, and that is something I wouldn’t have been able to bear.”
5. He would probably never get used to Shepard just turning himself into a weapon, but it was still a sight to behold. “So what? I’m not allowed to kiss my man goodbye?” he asked, emptying a clip into a couple of marauders.
He hated those things. They were somehow capable of bolstering the armour of close-by husks and cannibals, turning a skirmish into a fully-fledged battle in no time if they weren’t taken out as fast as possible.
“Maybe the James-human does not understand those things since he has no mate,” Javik commented, and Kaidan was almost certain that this was a smirk he could hear in Javik’s usually solemn voice.
“The James-human does understand it very much,” Vega retorted, stomping on the neck of a downed marauder with more force than necessary. “The James-human just chooses his mates as carefully.”
6. “I joined because of Shepard, Cool Aid down there,” he continued and gestured towards a huge marine at the end of the line, “as well. Martens was in Coats’ company before they arrived at the FOB, and you, sir, saved my sorry ass from a banshee. We owe you, and with your permission, we’d like to join your efforts in finding Shepard, and Major Coats as well.”
For a fleeting moment, Kaidan didn’t know what to say. They knew. They knew about him and Coats and had just made it their objective to help him find his man and his best friend. This was loyalty no amount of pay could buy. This was loyalty forged on the battlefield, and Kaidan was thankful for it.
He nodded. “Permission granted, marines. Thank you.” “Hooyah!”
And now for the snippet of a yet untitled one-shot that is set beofre The Loneliest Hour:
7.If there was one trait Daryl Coats attributed to himself, it would be “stealth”. He had been stationed far behind enemy lines, had stood knee-deep in batarian corpses and still made the enemy believe their people had died in a freak accident. One well-placed shot from his sniper rifle exploding one fuel tank had put an end to the uprising on Mavigon, effectively saving todays Admiral Mikhailovich’s arse from getting busted.
Stealth was his business if he wanted to and, thus, it didn’t come as a surprise to him that no one seemed to notice him slipping into Court Room 3. No one had bothered to inform him of the proceedings though his sister had died in the Battle of the Citadel. There were a lot of people missing from the court room: All the families and friends of the 2,400 soldiers and crew who had died defending a Council they had only heard of in tall tales. The least he could do to honour their sacrifice was to be here and look their murderers in the eye.

7 UP!
thank you my loves @pancakehouse @suspendedinbush and @sequinhaze for tagging me it has been. 700 hundred years but its fine.. im here now so.
“I'm hungover.” That manages to halt him. He finally looks at James, really looks at him. Now, James has never been particularly fond of just how visibly strung out he looks after a night out, but he’s grateful for it now when he sees the way Sirius just barely conceals a grimace at what he finds. “I’m hungover so my mind’s moving a little slow. I’m not fucking with you, okay?”
“Okay,” Sirius replies after a beat, his hand falling to his side, a small frown set between his eyebrows. A pause and then, “I wasn’t upset or anything.”
James tilts his head at him.
“With you,” Sirius clarifies, scratching at the back of his neck, “so if I sounded like that, well, I wasn’t.”
“Right, okay,” James says slowly, a smile taking over his face against his will when he realizes, “Sirius, are you apologizing to me?”
“Oh, piss off,” Sirius snaps without any lingering heat, his own lips curling up, “I’m just trying to do the, you know, the thing. The friendship thing.”
“The friendship thing.” James parrots, his head spinning at the thought.
“You know,” he huffs, his eyes going to the ceiling, and James gets a rather odd pulse of affection in his chest for the other man. “I try, you try, we fuck up, we try again, whatever.”

Not gonna lie, "Whoops, I've been shot, I think." made me cackle out loud! Rofl!
Thank you for the tag lovely <3
Heads Up seven up
Thank you for the tag, @nopoodles! Here's some fun I've been having recently, featuring Steve the Idiot :D
“I’d like to meet your mother,” Steve said sincerely, and then tripped into the wall, a harsh pain ripping through his stomach. “Whoops, I’ve been shot, I think.” They cleared their way three levels down, Steve alternating between punching thugs and holding a hand to his bullet wound. It hurt to breathe very fast, but he found if he just avoided that, he was golden. Sam watched him do it the whole time with a stink eye that said Steve would be getting an earful later. Whatever—as long as there was fast food. Steve could take a lot as long as he had some fried chicken to munch on.

compiling my headcanons for what video games dungeon meshi characters would like, if they were gamers in modern day
some taken from this post and my reblog additions there. added more characters, with some suggestions by friends/mutuals (marked by *asterisk ).
this can also be a games recommendation list based on your fav/most relatable characters too, if you want
characters that are not are included are bc i dont have ideas for them. if i only list the genre name but not any specific titles, its bc im not familiar enough with the character/genre to pick a specific game.
this list is, of course, biased towards games im more familiar with. feel free to ask me to elaborate on my choices or make suggestions in the comments
Laios' party:
Laios: plays lots of Monster Hunter. loves Spore but he doesnt often play past the tribal stage. likes Pokemon but he's more focused on catching the pokemon than following the story. played WolfQuest and DragonFable back in the day. enjoyed the concept of Bugsnax but wasn't interested in dealing with the NPCs
Marcille: mainly Dwarf Fortress, RTS games, some colony sims. but also sometimes The Sims, and dollmaker dress-up games. i could see her also enjoying Rollercoaster Tycoon and making elaborately-themed parks. might also occasionally indulge in some visual novels if she's in the mood for narrative she has Stardew Valley so she can have something to play co-op with falin, but its not a game she plays a lot of otherwise. when playing with falin, marcille micromanages the farm to maximize productivity, and does the decorations
Chilchuck: puzzle games and hidden object/escape room games as a video game-equivalent to finding/dismantling traps and lockpicking. i think he'd also enjoy Bejeweled.
Senshi: mainly Wii games and Cooking Mama. occasionally plays Snake on his 15-year-old nokia phone. i dont think he would enjoy games like Overcooked or restaurant manager games, because he likes to take his time making food, not stressing about customer service
Falin: some *Legend of Zelda games – she likes the exploration aspect in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, maybe also some of the toon zelda games like Minish Cap or Wind Waker she also plays Pokemon (*Pokemon Go when she's traveling), and i think she would enjoy some indie games, like Penko Park or Chicory: A Colorful Tale. plays Stardew Valley co-op with marcille – falin mainly takes care of the animals, mining, and picking the crops. occasionally makes improvement suggestions that marcille didnt think of
Izutsumi: i could see her enjoying games with parkour mechanics, like *Assassin's Creed, or Mirror's Edge. or maybe something simple but requiring cat-like swipes, like Fruit Ninja. despite her impatience, i think she could also enjoy action games with interesting longer narratives, as evidenced by [this omake] (relevant portion pictured below), so maybe *Final Fantasy 7 – my friend who's familiar with the game said "she’d find Cloud and Vincent relatable"
[ID: a dungeon meshi omake, where laios' party watches a nightmare monster manifest marcille's dream. there are snippets of dramatic soap opera-like dialogue. the rest of the party are initially enthusiastic but get bored over time, meanwhile izutsumi remains enthralled]
Kabru's party
Kabru: definitely Crusader Kings. maybe also some rpgs with relationship/faction mechanics, such as *Fire Emblem (one of the older ones or FE:3H) or Fallout: New Vegas (hes maxing out the speech stat asap) i think he would also enjoy mystery games like Pentiment and Return of the Obra Dinn – he would love the process of getting familiar with the many characters and deducing "who did what" in both games.
Rin: she takes pride in being an indie gamer (translating her disdain for upper class magic academy mages -> disdain for AAA games). given her chain-lightning magic in canon, i think she'd enjoy games with AOE-type magic, so maybe games such as Vampire Survivors. my mutual also suggested she might enjoy indie mystery visual novels like *Paranormasight, and that her AAA guilty-pleasure would be *Final Fantasy 14 – that rin is "a hardcore ff14 raider. would join PUGs and shot-call every week. #holm and diya might also play ff14 casually with rin but holm would be fishing mainly"
Mickbell: mainly Bethesda games like Fallout and Skyrim– enjoys the bootstrapper power fantasy in them. the type to go out of his way to pick up all the loot he can, to later sell
Kuro: enjoys the same games as Mickbell, but for the open-world exploration and investigation factors
Toshiro and Tansu's party:
Namari: her interest in fighting and weapons could translate to brawler/fighting games and action games with a focus on weapon stats – so maybe *Street Fighter, *God of War, and/or *Dark Souls. might play *Monster Hunter with laios but for the weapons. i could also see her occasionally enjoying truck simulators
Toshiro (Shuro): has the perseverance for soulslikes and other high-difficulty action and/or metroidvania games, but would take his time overthinking item/weapon synergies sometimes. given [his fondness for bugs], i could also see him enjoying Hollow Knight
Tade: would enjoy the cute aesthetics and lighthearted gameplay of Animal Crossing and Katamari. would also like idol anime rhythm games
Kiki: i think she would enjoy horror games such as Resident Evil, but would play it while super chill. i dont have much reasoning for this aside from vibes
Canaries:
Mithrun: plays Doom. got into Hollow Knight but still hasn't finished it because he keeps getting lost. senshi introduces him to Cooking Mama later on, which he finds surprisingly therapeutic
Cithis: plays Hitman and enjoys staging elaborate accident kills. i think she'd also enjoy The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, with her background as a devious fortune-teller
Fleki: surreal indie games like Hylics. also plays Team Fortress 2, and is a scout main. occasionally joins lycion in Animal Jam
Lycion: active WolfQuest and Animal Jam player. occasionally joins fleki in tf2
Pattadol: plays Stardew Valley – shes comparatively a normie, but on the meticulous side. she would enjoy perfecting her in-game farm
Otta: plays Genshin Impact. the serious reasoning is because of her (earth) elemental magic and how genshin has an elemental magic system (from my understanding. ive never played it). the joke reasoning is how some genshin players play to collect "waifus", and how otta goes through a lot of women in her dating life
Other:
Leed: runs her own guild in World of Warcraft
Winged Lion: god-games like WorldBox or Simmiland. and Darkest Dungeon (this ones mostly a joke)
Thistle: plays the original Plants VS. Zombies. also plays Minecraft and is very serious about it, but hasn't updated his game in years (translating the fact hes a 1000-year-old kid frozen in time -> playing "slightly old" games popular in the early 2010s)
[ID: tweet reply by twitter user ranchuppi – "thistle calls it lord delgal's server but he is the only mod. whole royal family is locked in spectator mode. Hell. living hell on earth."]
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#its not that spoilery but just in case anyone needs it#ive never owned any game consoles except a laptop so i watch a lot of lets plays/game showcases. and a fair amount of those are indie games#so this is probably a somewhat biased selection. i wanted to give several indie shout outs tho esp if they matched the character well#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon spoilers#mynn.txt#dm meta#yes this goes in my dunmeshi meta tag. this is character analysis to me

I'm just imagining Steve becoming the gang's babysitter when they were younger (like around 6-7). Eddie pops round Steve's to pick him up for a date and the door opens to Steve with a kid on every limb. Dustin's on his shoulders clinging to his hair, Will's clinging to one leg with Mike on the other. Lucas and Max are both tugging on one arm whilst he's carrying El in the other. He's just like: 'the back-up babysitter is late and there was no one else to watch them' and Eddie just goes 'Marry Me'
Anon, ur mind. Imagine. The kids are aged down, obvi, older teens keeping their ages.
It's like their third ever date and Eddie still gets nervous thinking about the date and always over thinks what to wear and triple checks his hair even though it never looks different. And this time he's a bit more nervous because Steve had called an hour ago. Assured him the date's still on, Eddie just needs to pick him up at a different address.
So, Eddie finds himself a little confused when he parks the van in front of the Byers house. He hadn't recognized the address as such when he quickly scribbled it onto his arm but he's been here a handful of times before.
Steve's not waiting outside, so Eddie kills the engine and wonders up to the door. He lifts his hand to knock and realizes he can hear the sound of children scream-laughing. He knocks a little more harshly than he would have, to ensure he's heard.
"Who is it!?" Steve's voice yells out, muffled.
"Eddie!" Eddie shouts back.
"OH! Open the door, it's not locked!"
Eddie shrugs and lets himself into the Byers' household. The sight that greets him freezes him in place. Steve is twenty or so feet away from the door, one leg raised in mid-step, small hands clinging to his ankle as Steve just drags the kid with. Eddie recognizes Baby Byers in the process of being dragged, Baby Wheeler on the other leg. Steve's half slouched to accommodate Dustin on his shoulders, folded awkwardly in half to have both his little arms wrapped around Steve's forehead like some weird headband. He's hold a little girl that Eddie's never seen in his life with one arm, while two other kids he doesn't know have a death grip on Steve's other arm. All together it looks like every kid is trying to stop Steve from moving anywhere.
"Eddie!" Dustin shouts when he looks up and sees who entered the house. Dustin's the only kid he really knows beyond Wheeler and Byers because getting to know Steve meant getting to know the kid that was like his little brother. (Eddie doesn't know how that relationship even happened, but he'll find out one day.)
"Alright you little rugrats," Steve is laughing too hard to sound stern, "get off! I'm going to trip!"
And immediate chorus of protests arise. Eddie catches snippets of 'please don't go' and 'you're the funner sitter' and other things that boil down to, these kids do not want to be watched by anyone other than Steve.
"Sorry, Eddie," Steve shoots him a very apologetic look, just talking over the choir that surrounds him. "Jonathan's going to be watching the rest of their playdate but he's running late. I've watched you gremlins all morning, it's Jonathan's turn."
The kids start whining and pouting and Dustin clings to his forehead with even more force and just- Eddie's a goner. He and Steve have only gone on two dates, have only been on a first name basis for a month and a half. In fact, three months ago Eddie was convinced they had a mutual hate thing going on (not hate, turns out, mutual unrequited-but-actually-requited crush).
There's so much about Steve he doesn't know, and that Steve doesn't know about him. Favorite color, allergies, movie preferences, the little things that add up to the sum total of their personalities and what make them the people they are. But Eddie knows the important things. Steve's unshakeable determination, unwaveringly loyalty, devotion to those he cares about.
So, Eddie blames that fact Steve looks ever bit the domestic, doting father/older brother figure when he opens his mouth to suggest postponing their date so as to not disappoint the kids, and what he says is, "Marry me."
Steve's eyes go wide and freezes. The kids keep swinging off him and trying to tug him around and climb him, so he's swaying around but Eddie can see that Steve's brain has checked out for a moment. Eddie's face burns hot and he knows he's blushing all the way to his toes, Jesus, it's awfully hot in this house.
"I-uh, I didn't mean to say that yet."
Steve blinks a few times, coming back to himself, and then he smiles so brightly at Eddie that all his anxiety over his grievous faux pas slide away.
"Your van's big enough to fit all these creatures into the back, yeah? How about you help me take 'em to the park and we can discuss marriage at a later date."
They leave a note, so Jonathan doesn't panic upon finding an empty house and Eddie all but floats to the car.
Their third date might have turned into an adventure in babysitting for a whole day but that's fine, because it ends with the promise of a fourth, and a sly 'ask me to marry you in a couple of years' said with a smirk when he drops Steve off.

sunray (nico robin x reader)
nico robin masterlist
because i recently met someone who felt like busking in sunlight
cw: gn!reader, pre-water 7 arc
also, thank you @turtletaubwrites ; i wouldn't have found the motivation to put thoughts to words without your kind comment
Busking in sunlight.
She was busking in sunlight, lounging in her favourite spot on the outdoor deck, engrossed in a book she probably picked up on the last island. She is a picture of graceful stillness; her eyebrows raising ever so slightly in delight whenever she comes across a sentence that tickles her fancy. You peep a slight smile and a quiet, cheerful hum - small quirks that would have been too easy to miss. She meticulously thumbs through another page.
You wonder what snippet of knowledge she has since added in her library of wisdom; you wonder if she would ever invite you for a chat, and metaphorically let you take a walk through the museum that is her mind.
———————————————
You wonder so often what goes on in Nico Robin’s pretty mind. You’ve thought about it for a good few weeks now, yet the answer seems to continuously elude you.
At first, her history of being associated with Baroque Works rendered you wary of her, eyeing her suspiciously whenever she approached you. A cunning mastermind was what you thought she was. Someone who would go to great lengths to protect her vested interests, regardless of the costs.
Over time, you warmed up to her. How could you not? There was no doubting the sincerity that radiated from her being whenever she looks at Chopper. Slowly, you noticed it too when she speaks to the other Strawhats.
The fondness in her voice when she addresses Luffy, her firm protectiveness over Nami, the mutual respect she has with Zoro, her teasing banter towards Usopp, her never-ending tolerance for Sanji’s flirtatious antics.
This can’t be faked, you thought.
And when she looks at you, soft gaze and smile - you wished so badly that it was real.
That can’t be faked, right?
———————————————
The enigma that she is has occupied the vast majority of your time. It keeps you distracted. It keeps you up all night. Most of all, it keeps you single-mindedly obsessed with figuring her out.
You don’t know how it began, but like vines that grow towards the sun, you started to orbit around her - as though she was the gravitational force that kept you grounded.
It started with minor tweaks in your schedule. Where you used to spend most of the time carrying weights with Zoro in the afternoons, you’d silently shifted some of the dumbbells to the deck where Robin lounges, stealing sly glances at her while you go about your routine.
———————————————
“You’ve been training here a lot more.” She had commented once, a few weeks ago.
“Oh yeah. Zoro’s stinky.” You hurriedly searched for an excuse, throwing poor Zoro under the bus.
“I think you’re safe for today. He had his weekly shower yesterday.” She responded with a chuckle.
You could feel your cheeks burning up, embarrassed that she might have figured out your true intentions. You prayed that she would logically assume that the blush was from the workout instead.
———————————————
Soon, you had gotten used to spending afternoons on the deck with her. Her, lounging with her book and you, going about your workout routine.
The comfortable silence that you had both grown accustomed to was peppered with witty exchanges throughout the day.
Yet, there remains a line that cannot be crossed. Her fondness and affection often hiding behind a polite demeanour that you simply cannot override.
You wonder what else resides in the depths of her thoughts; what secrets, ambitions and aspirations might she hold in her heart, not quite yet ready to let out.
———————————————
You were sitting a mere few metres away but the distance between you and her felt like oceans apart.
It didn’t matter though.
You would cross that bridge when you get there. For now, you were content for whatever this is to remain as is; to enjoy her presence without the complexities of the heart, feelings, whatever this was.
And whatever was this?
What was the language one would use to describe this arrangement?
A friendship, but not quite. A crush would sound juvenile. An attraction doesn’t sound right either.
By then, as you were pondering the semantics of the situation, the afternoon heat that had earlier prickled your skin has since given way to the gentle breeze of the cool sea air. A sign that the sun is steadily setting, as the ocean of orange paints over the clear blue skies.
It was then that it occurred to you.
It was like busking in her sunlight.
———————————————
Perhaps your gaze had lingered on her for a second too long, prompting her to look up from her book, curious eyes meeting yours.
“Your dumbbells haven’t moved in quite a bit.” She teased you, coy smile gracing her features before she shifted her attention back to her book.
Perhaps it is true that sun must set, and the night must eventually fall. Still, for however long it may be, you hope that you could stay in her periphery. For just a little while longer, if only to busk in her sunlight.

Nurturing November: Day 3: character background
Throughout this month, I’ll be sharing character-building exercises that I have completed that will bring out my ocs’ more tender sides. This can be anything from snippets to oc questions to character analysis.
Despite the grim, icy setting of the North Crater, Bianca clings to the traditions of Earth, especially during the colder months where it becomes even chillier. Growing up in a world so detached from Gaia (the Planet in FF 7), she finds comfort in celebrating holidays that connect to her memories of her past life. Even if her stepfather, David Moore, and she moved from one seedy hotel to another every six months to escape the cult of Asmodeus, they still remembered the warmth that her surrogate mother, Sarah Moore, brought to their lives around the holidays before she passed away. This practiced is now especially meaningful with Sephiroth, as it invites something warmer into their chaotic lives. It highlights her resilience: no matter how dark her journey gets that there are still moments of heart-filled honesty. For Bianca, these winter celebrations offer a rare reprieve, a chance to hold on to fragments of who she was prior to her fall into that world.
Using her reality-bending magic, Bianca has created a cozy cabin in the North Crater, surrounded by an enchanted forest that materializes only when she wills it into being. She decorates the cabin for each holiday, weaving lights, garlands, and other festive touches entirely from her magic, as Sephiroth has told her to train to control her magic. This is now a hidden retreat where she and Sephiroth — as Sephiroth assumes control over SC X — can go to get away from the barren landscape. He calls this ‘playing house’.
Her gestures towards Sephiroth are intimate yet subtle. Each one evokes a sense of warmth and togetherness. She’ll find small ways to create a feeling of holiday spirit, such as creating decorations from the crystals found around the crater or humming familiar songs while she completes her duties as the self-imposed ‘High Priestess of Jenova’. Her favorite tune during Christmas is ‘Sleigh Ride’. In her gestures, she will often reflect her love languages, showing Sephiroth something real and tangible beyond his anger and the need to punish Shinra and humanity. For Sephiroth, who has known little beyond Shinra’s cold isolation starting from birth, these moments become cherished symbols of Bianca’s nurturing nature and full a desire to get her justice for everyone who has hurt her, humanity. The ability to weave warmth into their lives, even in the North Crater’s harshness, shows the quiet strength of her love and devotion, a strength that intrigues and continues to draw Sephiroth closer to her, as she shares with him the cheer Sarah instilled in her during the holidays.
I'm not going to tag the following every day for this, but I thought you'd enjoy reading about Bianca and Sephiroth more 'normal' and romantic reactions.
tagging some fellow mutuals: @themaradwrites @littleshopofchaos @serenofroses @megandaisy9 @watermeezer

Otherside Picnic Manga Yuri Club Special Story 7 English Translation
SPOILER WARNING: Takes place during File 8 - Little Bird in a Box in Vol 2 of the novels.
Written by: Miyazawa Iori
Translated by: @hurpdurpburps
-
Chapter 7: Mercedes AMG, The Backseat
Everything about my first time riding in a luxury car was unique, even the sound of the engine, which I found difficult to describe since I knew next to nothing about cars. The first thing that came to my mind was "a high-pitched sound" and I despised myself for how stupid it sounded.
Kozakura was in the driver’s seat behind the wheel. A man from a shady organisation called Migiwa was riding shotgun next to her. DS Labs – Dark Science Research Encouragement Association, I think. The organisation seemed to be conducting research on the Otherside, but its name sounded like a joke.
The man’s appearance was equally suspicious. I would never have trusted him under normal circumstances and would've left without so much as a word if it hadn’t been for Kozakura.
To be frank, I didn't trust him. Unsure of where they were taking us, I squinted at the car’s GPS screen through the gap between the seats in front of me. It seemed like we were heading towards the city centre. While I wasn’t familiar with Tokyo's geography, I could tell that we were driving along a road heading southeast from Shakujii-kouen.
Kozakura and Migiwa were engaged in subdued conversation. The noise of the moving car drowned out their words, making it hard to listen in on them. While I had my suspicions that they were having some sort of secret discussion, whatever snippets I could overhear seemed to be about traffic routes or mutual acquaintances… In short, it didn't seem like they were talking about anything important.
As for Toriko and myself, the conversation died out after we set off, and we simply sat in silence at the back. Toriko’s eyes were staring out the window, lost in thought. The troubled look on her face and downcast eyes made for such a pretty picture that I couldn’t help but stare, but Toriko didn’t seem to notice my gaze.
It seemed like I was the only one who was feeling awkward. I was also the only one being excessively cautious, and the thought made me uneasy. Migiwa appeared to be an old acquaintance of Kozakura’s, so it didn’t seem likely for him to be some sort of cult member, but… Having a distracted Toriko next to me wasn’t very reassuring in the event we were wrong about him.
I knew exactly what was on Toriko’s mind. It was none other than Satsuki Uruma.
Apparently, Satsuki had been a member of DS Labs before she disappeared.
Hearing Toriko beg Migiwa, who she’d just met, to take her to DS Labs made me-
I hated it. It pissed me off. Toriko always turned into an idiot whenever Satsuki-san came into the picture. I couldn’t stand seeing her like this. That was why I couldn’t just leave her to her own devices. That was why I immediately offered to tag along.
Thinking back, it felt surreal. That didn’t seem like something I’d do. At the very least, the old me wouldn’t have done something like that. Just as how I would run away from a shady stranger, I likely would’ve walked away from someone and left them to do as they pleased if I couldn’t stop them from doing something stupid.
… or perhaps not. Was I underestimating myself? I wasn’t sure. But I knew for a fact that I didn't have the capacity to spare a thought for others back in the day.
Either way, the old me didn’t have Toriko around back then. The current me couldn’t just leave Toriko alone, even if she was being stupid. Was this a good thing? Probably. Had I become weak? Probably, yeah.
What am I supposed to do?
It wasn’t as if I could do anything even though I was tagging along. We were simply flailing around together now. I disliked this feeling of helplessness, but I hated not being able to be with Toriko even more...
I wonder what Toriko’s thinking.
There was a look of surprise on her face when I said I was coming with her. I couldn’t help but get annoyed at that, even though it was only natural for her to feel that way when even I had thought that it was out of character for myself.
I even made it clear that I wasn’t interested in Satsuki-san.
I wonder if I’m really just getting in her way. Maybe she’s actually better off without me around?
I shook off the wave of weakness that flashed through my mind for a moment.
Whatever, that’s none of my business.
She didn't tell me not to follow her. After all, it was Toriko who roped me into this mess, even though I had nothing to do with Satsuki-san in the first place. It didn't make sense for her to go at it alone now at this point.
But-
Another wave of weakness came crashing over me again.
Toriko had been acting strange lately, with her mind full of Satsuki-san while being weirdly considerate of me.
Even today, she’d been saying all sorts of awful things, like what would happen if she disappeared, or fretting about what would happen to me if I was left alone.
I stared at the side of Toriko's face. I’d been looking at her for a while now, but she hadn't noticed at all. Usually she was a bit more intuitive at sensing things like that.
This denseness pisses me the hell off.
I felt the weakness that had filled my mind being replaced by anger.
I get it already. If that's how you’re gonna be, then that’s fine by me. I’ll just stay mad at you for however long that you’re being stupid, Toriko. As long as I do that, I'm sure I'll--
"What's wrong?" Toriko suddenly looked in my direction, and all thoughts flew away from my mind.
"Huh? Wha- what?"
"You looked like you wanted to say something."
"Nah… It’s nothing."
"Okay." Toriko gave a slight nod, and then returned her gaze to beyond the window as she had been before.
And with that, all my emotions dispersed in an instant. As I was left in limbo not knowing what to do with myself again, the car continued on its journey somewhere, carrying me within it.

You and Dabi have been broken up for some time now, but you're still the only person he wants to see before he takes his final bow. With your grieving face still fresh in his mind, he can't help but wonder how things would be different if you two met when you were kids. In his daydreams, he gifts you a Quirk, and you both go to U.A together. He becomes a hero, and you his adored engineer. When everything inevitably goes to hell...you become a villain with him.

The eldest Todoroki boy is found adrift at sea. Covered in burns from head to toe, but somehow still breathing. He was missing for days. The accident should've killed him. No one knows how he survived. The town praises it as a miracle. But when Rei notices that he suddenly keeps sneaking to the ocean in the middle of the night, and hums a disjointed melody when no one else is around, she begins to suspect that it was no miracle that saved her son. Content: Fantasy!AU, horror concept, Touya is being claimed by a Siren but Rei is not willing to give up her son, VERY inspired by some of the things I wrote in Bury My Ashes at Sea so there might be similar imagery, reader's gender is simply not planned to be mentioned, sfw, Rei's POV est wc: 10-13k current wc: 0 sponsored wc: 500/13000

He's already covered in bandages from his Quirk, so no one notices a difference. And if he's a little extra dizzy or laid up in bed, who cares? He's always been a little sickly. No one notices. Don't worry about him. You tell him how good he tastes and he doesn't think he's ever felt so alive in his life. He lets you take as much as you want. See, you don't need other, stronger humans. He can take it. This is what love is. He'll never tell you to stop. Not even when he can't feel his fingers anymore. Just don't pick someone else.

When Diavolo announces the plan for a human exchange program, the Charas, MC, Y/N, and OC (real names redacted), see it as the perfect opportunity to pull off the ultimate scam: seducing the rulers of hell and taking the throne. However...falling in love with their marks might complicate things. Content: Religious cults, drug use, the Charas are Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss incarnate, toxic relationships, polyamory (each of the Charas date three boys), humor, disabled mc (OC), plus-size mc (Y/N), and non-binary mc (MC), some angst here and there, mostly canon compliant but I fix some things, explicit content eventually...the first chapter is already posted on ao3 so please read my author's note to get an idea of what to expect!

🍬Touch-starved (Beelzebub x OC) (oneshot)
This is a companion piece to Love is a Liar's Game. Beel's Gluttony is not restricted to only food. He's avoided even kissing OC to prevent himself from becoming a bottomless pit for her love, which has ruined plenty of his relationships prior. But when her and Belphie finally become intimate, and his brother can't stop talking about her (or keep his hands off her), a strange, sour taste won't leave his mouth. It's jealousy. (If this is donated to completion I will also post the Belphie oneshot I already finished, Breathless!)
Content: Post-Chapter 16, pining, explicit sexual content, oral reference (m), recreational alcohol, submissive beel, use of pact during sex, tiny bit of angst for flavor, typical humor for this fic universe, lots of pet names between these two lol

TAG GAME PSA
Hey writeblrs?
I mean this in the gentlest way possible (I love you guys) but these massive reblog chains of tag games are getting out of control. Some of them are getting as long as the colour of the sky post.
If someone tags you please make your own post to respond (and save all our dashes). Don't reblog their post with your addition. If you want an easy way for you/your followers to view the post of the person who tagged you:
click on the three little dots at the top right of their post
select "copy link"
select some text on your own post
press ctrl+V
Your post will then have a link embedded into it like this.
It's still good writeblr etiquette to reblog the post of the person who tagged you. Just reblog it separately from your own response to the tag. (As well, poor OP gets notified of every single addition to their post, no matter how far down the reblog chain. It's gets weird opening your notifications to see the mutuals of your mutuals' mutuals' mutuals adding snippets of their writing onto your (for example) Heads Up 7 Up post.)
#writeblr#writers of tumblr#writers on tumblr#writerscommunity#writing community#I always worry I'm being annoying when I tag things#I will be the first to admit I've done this too (albeit infrequently)#but it's time for an intervention#I will no longer be reblogging massive reblog chains even if the last person in the chain tagged me#even though it is good tumblr ettiquette#I am tired of having to scroll past these everytime I search my own blog#I'll simply like it and link back to it in my own post

Fic Finder
Jan 25th
~*~
1. I'm begging to know if you have this fic. Years back, I read a fic where Wei Ying is exiled from the Lan clan and in the process becomes mute kind of (?) by choice. Years-ish later the Lan clan would beg him back to teach the juniors dark arts, and after something he would comply. It's a lot of Lan Zhan trying to apologize and Wei Ying not taking it afterwards, but I do believe it has a good ending. Do you perhaps know what this fic is? I've been trying to dig out the name for a month or so now. @sunshines-child
FOUND? Wei Ying's Destroyed Heart by Belladonna01234 (Wattpad)
~*~
2. hi!!! im looking for a genderbend fic( i think ?) where wwx is set to marry jin guangyao (theyre each others beards) and lwj is the florist, or maybe the other way around. i didnt read it, i only remember those specific things bc of the tags and the summary, but most definitely one of them is the florist at the other's wedding, and they meet and such is life. thank you so much!!!
FOUND! Widow's Weeds by travelingneuritis (E, 18k, wangxian, Modern Cultivation, Gardens & Gardening, Wedding Planning, wedding thwartin, grich people are terrible, Light-Hearted, Smut, Gender Changes, Getting Together, offscreen deaths played for laughs, this is meant to be silly don't worry about it, Scheming, Plotting, wwx and jgy are accidentally-on-purpose bearding each other but i keep it PG, wwx running laps around the entire jin sect)
~*~
3. Hello! I am looking for a fic which I am 90% sure is a WWX/LWJ fic, but there is a 10% chance it might be Keith/Shiro from Voltron (oops, ehe, if so please disregard this ask!). It is a modern au where WWX looks like a rough guy, maybe from a motorcycle gang, and LWJ is a lovely put together businessman. The office where LWJ works begins to notice their boss (LWJ) meeting with tattooed WWX and they think WWX might be up to no good! But WWX is actually a cop or fireman, and he just looks a bit like a road rat. They eat pastries together on their lunch break. Does this ring a bell? I have been looking for ages! Thank you!!!
3 is definitely a Voltron fic if the other blades of Marmora are Keith's fellow cops.
~*~
4. Hi! For fic finder, there is a fic that i only read the summary and a snippet of the story. I didnt read that fic at first because it is not something i usually read, but now its haunting me. Its ice skating au. I think there are "madam yu bashing" In the tag (im not sure). And the snippet i read is NHS beat up WC in secluded place in revenge for WWX. There are no CCTV and NHS said to WC that no one will believe him that NHS beat him up. I know its short, but i really dont know the story. Thank you!
FOUND! enough, for me by doodlebutt (T, 1k, Modern AU) which takes place during chapter 7 of All the shine of a thousand spotlights (M, 60k, WangXian, Modern AU, figure skating, Hurt/Comfort, Mutual Pining, Angst with a Happy Ending, Major Character Injury, Recovery, Getting Together, background relationships - chengqing; xuanli; xiyao, Background Pregnancy, the mortifying ordeal of Talking About Your Feelings, sexually tense pair skating, There Was Only One Bed)
~*~
5. WWX and LZ are flabbergasted to see the other alive: WWX was burning paper money at LZ’s funeral as LZ died protecting him and LZ was attending WWX’s funeral as LZ failed to protect WWX during a nighthunt. The universe did some weird shit that merged the two timelines so now they’re both alive and with each other. I can’t find it anywhere @selena10180
~*~
6. There was this fic, i don't remember, wwx was single and pregnant and his family (i think jiangs or wen? ) was with him? If u could find this fic and more like it?
FOUND? All I Want by Selenay (E, 47k, WangXian, Modern AU, No Powers, Mpreg, Post Holiday Romance, Consequences, Reunions, Idiots in Love, Teacher WWX, Rating earned in later chapters, Handwavey Biology)
FOUND? Nothing but your heart by airinshaw (E, 21k, WangXian, Modern AU, A/B/O Dynamics, Implied Mpreg, First Time, Getting Together, Angst and Drama, Angst with a Happy Ending, Anal Sex, Whump, Breeding Kink) could also be this

7. hi!! im looking for an unfinished (as of when i read it at least!!) accidental baby acquisition fic where wwx drops a baby (lsz i believe!) off at lwjs door in the middle of the night and disappears — i know thats vague but i dont remember a lot of details? it was a lot of introspection and confusion on lwjs part, kind of OH SHIT i have to look after this baby now n wwx is vanished n idk whats going on. n to my memory in the next chapter or so wwx comes back and is still rlly weird n mysterious n frustrating abt the babys origins n theres wx vibes but lwj is real confused. sorry i dont have more detail but i really hope i can find it!!!
~*~
8. Hi! :D I really hope you can help me find this fic! I have been looking for weeks! it's driving me nuts!
I remember that WWX doesn't die and LXC help him live hidden in CR using the identity of a Lan that has died, WWX is taking care of LWJ/is LWJ's servant, there is a scene where they are in Lanling (I think) and WWX has befriended some of the servants there, him and one? of them are talking about WWX's feelings for LWJ/if LWJ love WWX/or something like that, and then LWJ is there, I'm pretty sure they go somewhere else and confess to e/o
FOUND! Unbreakable Heaven, Luminous Earth by carolyncaves (M, 96k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, Secret Identity, almost to the point of uncomfortable identity theft, Sharing a Bed, Literal Sleeping Together, Mutual Pining, Getting Together, Suicidal Thoughts, that's for WWX after Nightless City and is not pervasive throughout the fic, Blood and Injury, Hurt/Comfort, Caretaking, Sexual Content, Domestic Fluff, Angst with a Happy Ending, Power Imbalance, mainly between WWX and JGY in an entirely nonsexual manner, this isn't really a kid fic but the kids are there, as are some yunmeng sibling feelings, JYL lives, Not Everyone Dies AU, some COVID parallels, this is not a quarantine fic, but thematically WWX deals w things like face-covering for safety and loss of control, also assume all canon warnings, this AU is gentler than canon but isn't a complete fix-it)
~*~
9. Hi hi! Thanks for your wonderful recommendations always! I’m looking for a wangxian fic where WWX has a breakdown in the lotus pier courtyard and the vibes are like “I’ve tried so hard for so long and for what; I can’t anymore; I’m so alone” and the Jiangs are like “… oh shit” and then treat him better after that and help him bear the burdens. (I can’t remember if WWX is a dragon also?) @vi-sky
#9 while the suggestion is great I don’t think this is the fix I was looking for. I don’t think the Jiangs find out about anything until WWX has the breakdown in the courtyard, and I think he kept it to himself for awhile as opposed to his breakdown being chapter 1 in the recommended.
NOT FOUND! 🧡 (Un)Hidden truth by Sarah_R (M, 198k, WIP, WangXian, Suicide attempt, Time Travel, Hurt/comfort, Angst, Self-Harm)

10. Hello! I can't remember much details but I think lan zhan lands on an unfamiliar planet, there he meet wei ying. Wei ying appearance is different, his body i think is color pink? or blue or like galaxy (눈▽눈) I 'm not really sure but he is not human , also wei ying is shy at first and then warm up eventually. Wahh thank you in advance!
~*~
11. Hello! For fic finder: I am trying to find a fic I read recently (within the last 6 months or so) where Wei Wuxian cultivates a resentful energy core but it was held outside his body in the Yin Tiger Tally. Lan Wangji doesn’t know that, so he convinces Wei Wuxian to give up the Tiger Tally as a gesture of peace. Everyone gathers around to watch and are horrified when as Wei Wuxian crushes the Tiger Tally in his hand and the Tally crumbles to dust, Wei Wuxian keels over in terrible agony at losing his core a second time. I think Wangji rushes over to help but Wen Qing pushes him away. It wasn't Decay by antebunny (although that is a good fic!!). Any thoughts? Thank you!
~*~
12. hi I just remembered a fic in modern verse where Wei Ying boarded a flight that disappeared mid air and landed after 10+ yrs and Lan Zhan comes to pick up from the airport once he gets the news. I can't seem to find it can you please help and thanks for your efforts its bought me across many amazing fanfics

13. Hello!! I'm looking for a fic that I was sure i had reblogged but now I can't find it anywhere 😔 It was on tumblr not ao3. LWJ is sex-cursed and he has to be touched by the person he loves. It was during the burial mound days and WWX is isolated from the cultivation world, and also LWJ refuses to ask him for help for that, he'drather die. LXC finds out and takes an unconscious LWJ to the burial mounds and gives him a day to tell WWX on his own or LXC will do it, and LWJ only agrees because he intends to run away before WWX finds out why he's there @kokobabee
FOUND! Tumblr Fic by @jingyismom
~*~
14. Hello! I badly need help. I've been looking for this fic. I think it was like 5+1 or something where other people learn that Sizhui is Hanguangjun's son and that one time that Wei Wuxian did. I remember some of the 5+1 was a scene with a vendor, another scene with Ouyang-zongzhu in a nighthunt and I'm not sure if Jiang Wanyin was also one of them. But yeah, I've tried all keywords I could think of but I just can't find it. I hope you can help me. Thank you so much for all your efforts.
~*~
15. Hello I am looking for a fic where the world agrees to not kill Wei Ying if he marries and dual cultivates with someone and it's LWJ @calamityisalve
~*~
16. I am looking for a fic where wangxian invite the cultivation world to their wedding but wei wuxian and Lan shizui get badly hurt during the hunt before the wedding. The wedding is postponed and I think it had a scene where they fell down a waterfall? Please find it for me🙏
~*~
17. Hiiii!!!! I’m looking for a Twitter thread fic about a Warprize Lwj ABO Au where he became a consort to wen zhuliu? I think it was him, anyway, he gave birth a-yuan but a-yuan was actually Wwx son. I remember there was quote retweeted art of the thread fic where Wwx was standing over a-yuan’s cradle.
If you actually manage to find it a million thanks!!! @silent-taco

18. Hello! I hope you can help me find this one, because I’m not having much luck; Wei Ying agrees to do what the sects want in exchange for the Lan sect taking in the Wen. He is basically imprisoned in the Unclean Realm and can’t practice demonic cultivation, and over time Nie Huaisand and Nie Mingjue start to warm up to him.
I think the one scene I remember most is a scene where Lan Huan asks Wei Ying if he can play for Nie Mingjue but Wei Ying says he can’t and admits that he has no golden core after making Lan Huan promise to keep it a secret. Hope this helps?

19. 你好! I've been looking for a fic with mute wei ying? (mute by choice, I believe). I cannot remember much, but I do remember that Wei Ying is exiled by the Gusu Lan clan, led by Lan Zhan himself. He's later called back to teach the juniors lessons on Demonic cultivation, where they found out after many years of choosing not to talk, he's kind of lost his voice. I don't know if you could find this fic, but it's been plaguing my brain for awhile now.
~*~
20. Hi! Searching for a fic where omegaxian is the assistant physician of Wen Qing and then Emperor (not sure if emperor or just a prince) Alphaji want him immediately as his consort. Wen qing and other people protested and told alphaji that omegaxian is not available because he is only a physician.
I remember it being a threadfic in X (twitter)
Thank you so much
