#But it made me really happy to see you send a cool ask yayyy

[morsobaby]

im not finnish but . hammerlock and wainwright going 2 sauna what are they gonna do there (hammerlock will take his prosthetics off ofc, he doesnt want his stumps to get seared like well done steak)

SEARING HIM... EHFJEV

Well if you're asking me what. They could do in the sauna there are plenty options but mostly people go there to enjoy the health benefits (good for circulation and skin health among many others, look it up!) and or relax. Or drink beers with the homies, in the case of middle aged men.

.. Or gay sex, but it's hot in there so it's not advisable bc two pulse rising factors is a bad combo at once. Carefulness recommended

I'm sure they'd find it nice to relax and maybe give each other massages or cuddle and talk about the things of the day or whatever comes to mind, from my experience long sauna sessions are good for getting pretty deep into some topics, it's an intimate setting where it's both easy to talk and also be comfortably silent.

If we're talking classic sauna activities people like alternating between the sauna and the shower, or if applicable, going outside in the snow to cool off then run back into the hot sauna. Ykno, classic finnish activities. But It's great with cold drinks nonetheless! Especially since it's best to stay hydrated when saunaing

Swing Set // Huang Renjun

(A/N: This is the first secenario I’ve ever posted so I’m pretty excited. I think I’m reletively okay at writing, you might think otherwise but that’s okay! I do hope you enjoy though! Also, this is a headcanon, but I also have another blog with my best friend where I’m going to post a story version. So if you prefer that kind of story, I’ll have a link to it all the way at the bottom!)

pairing: renjun x reader

genre: literally all i can write is fluff

warnings/notes: idk there’s some language i guess??

word count: 1716

(I didn’t proof read this so im sorry for any mistakes)

(Side note: the swing set isn’t actually in the scenario that much but I can’t title for shit aha)

Theme/Summary thing:

highschool!au

soulmate!au

if one is drawing or writing on themselves, the other can feel the pen/marker/etc. as it’s writing

random tattoo needle pains lmaoo

if one soulmate gets a tattoo it shows up on the other

pen drawings fade/wash off

if you didn’t get the tattoo, it fades to a very faint tattoo, like barely noticeable

little back story type thing

you grew up in Canada

at the end of grade 10 you moved to Korea with your family because your mom got a real cool job there

and you end up at the same school as renjun for grade 11

and reunited with your childhood best friend Mark :))))

basic, i know

you could understand and speak it to an extent but you needed to be a pro

but Mark even still helps you a little at school too

OKAY START

for your 17th birthday you got a tattoo

the exo lucky one logo on your left wrist

(sorry if you don’t like them, i used exo because renjun loves exo and i actually have this tattoo in real life)

so randomly one weekend, while Renjun is drawing at home

(if you don’t know what getting a tattoo feels like: it feels like the tip of a sharp knife slightly cutting into your skin,,,,,,it’s not that bad,,,, and that was a shit description im sorry)

so he turns his wrist to see what’s going on

lo and behold there’s the Lucky One logo being etched onto his skin

‘why do i have a thing??? can you get your soulmates tattoo??’

he concludes with, yes, you can get your soulmates tattoo

‘hm, my soulmate must really love exo’

it isn’t that bad though

it would also get kind of dry so

whenever it would get dry,,,, you mosturize it

so when you do that it feels like heaven for renjun

(after a few days,,, he started writing 'please moisturize♥’ whenever he needed it)

and you feel the writing appear on your skin

so you lift up your sleeve and there’s that cute little sentence

you take out your little tub of lotion and roll up your sleeve completely

you????? have???? a????? tattoo?????

so you explain when you got it, and why and stuff

then the bell rings

and a few minutes later,,,,,

heyyyyy

(they’re friends with the boys but you’ve become a bigger part of the friend group recently)

(though you’re stilll closer with Mark and Donghyuck)

so y'all are like heyyyy

and you go back to moisturizing your tattoo

Jeno and Jaemin notice

'OHHHHHHHPPP THAT LOOKS LIKE THE THING RENJUN GOT LAST WEEK’

'hey dude,,,,, her wrist

so he looks down and his eyes go wide

(you annd renjun are secretly hoping you’re soulmates)

(because y'all like each other)

(but y'all don’t act on it because like,,,,, y'know,,,,, you have soulmates)

(but there’s this undinaiable connection between the two of you)

(but oH SHIT)

(LITTLE DO YOU KNOW)

(YOU ARE SOULMATES OHOHOHOH)

(okay moving on)

'heyyyy,,,,, y/n,,,,, when did you get that?’

and that cutie just pointed to your wrist

'oh,,, I got it last Saturday’

whiCH IS WHEN HIS APPEARED

'ooHHH SHIT YESSSSS WE’RE SOULMATES’

'oh cool, it’s really nice’

'ah, thanks jun’

giving him this adorable smile that makes him melt

and then everyone just carries on with their convorsations

'why didn’t you say anything???????’

to which Renjun just shrugged and looked down

almost as if he was guilty of something

so now it’s almost the end of the day and you’re in class sitting with Renjun

'hey y/n, do you want to hang out after school,,,,,, maybe like go out for bubble tea?’

'sure Junnie’

(oh yeah, you’re the only one that he lets call him that)

so when the bell rings you two go to your lockers because you’re kind of locker buddies

after talking with the other boys about weekend plans

when you turn around,,,,,, Jeno and Jaems give Junnie some goodluck thumbs when he looks back at them

and he asks if you’re hungry

so you two share some food

ignoring your protests and paying anyways

you changed in the cafe’s restroom before eating because school uniforms suck for dates- IMEANWHATTTThanging out

along with Renjuns beanie that you stole off his head on your way to your seat

which made him blush like crazy

but you didn’t notice

now he’s wearing a grey crew neck over his white t-shirt

and black ripped jeans

ohp yeah y'all bring a change of clothes to school because uniforms are uncomfortable after hours

which is quite large

but like no one’s around

like it’s friday so

everyone is at home sleeping or something

you two are just walking and talking about your day

you two come across a little playground

and you run over to the swing set with him following close behind

not that it took much begging at all

beacuse y'all are both children

and obviously he complies because he loves youuuu–WHATTT

just enough so you’re having fun but you’re not like flying away

or almost kicking him

he gets kind of warm

so he rolls up his sleeves

s o he’s not pushing you for a few swings

and you see him reaching into his bag to get some water

he’s holding his bag with his left hand

so you see the tattoo

and you’re like

,,,,,,,,?

and you look at your wrist too

'hey Junnie, can you bring me my water too please?’

he nods and goes into your bag and grabs your water

you get up from the swing to sit on it the opposit way so you’re facing him

he walks back over to you

with that fucking smile

the one that m e l t s you

that melts him too

now you’re both just sipping your waters

lowkey admiring you, with a small smile on his face, as you look at the clouds in the sky

thinking about the same thing

the tattoo

but neither of you know how to bring it up

after a few minutes,,,, you broke the comfortable silence

'hey Junnie, what’s that?’

you stubly gesture the tattoo on his wrist

he looks at it and starts blushing

showing it to you before mumbling a quiet 'um,,’

before he could say any more

'Renjun,,, are we soulmates?’

letting a small smile appear on your face

then he looks down beacuse he’s a shy and embarassed boy

and you grab his hand

so he raises his head to look at your face as you look up at him

(for this scenario and most of the ones I write,, you’re gonna be like 5'0 to 5'3 because I, the author, am 5 feet tall)

you see the tattoo,,,,

the moisturizing message from earlier that day,,,,

even the faded Moomin he drew for you the day before

all in the matching places as your own arm

and stand on your tippy toes to wrap your arms around his neck in a hug

but finally he wraps both of his arms securely around your waist

taking in your scent because he loves it

you close your eyes and lift your head so you’re closer to his ear

'Junnie,,,,’

he hums in response

'I’m really happy we’re soulmates’

he loosens his hold on your waist and pulls back slightly to look at your face

(and finally stand flat on your feet)

and he kisses your forhead before gazing at you with adoration filling his eyes

'me too’

holy shitttt

now you see

Renjun is probably my bias in nct

like I love all of the members but I have a super special place in my heart for Renjun

gosh, this sweet boy deserves the world

now,,, if you liked this

feel free to send requests because I love writing

also, Mark is next in this little nct soulmate series

yayyy

Yayyy new chapter! I hope you all enjoy. Things are gonna start getting real good, real fast :D

I Exist

Chapter IV

There is a mountain, a staggering thing, of varied terrain, that stretches so tall it appears to touch the clouds. The valley beneath it yawned, its expanse so far that it seemed on the outskirts of human existence. It was largely untouched, by man or beast, a testament to the ethereal nature of its being.

It was where Odin's beast had taken his father, an undetermined amount of time ago, for Jack did not know how many years of his to count. It was where the sword was forged. If there were ever a place where Jack could find the answers he sought, it must be here.

He knew he could not climb this mountain on his own volition. The Gods would not allow such ease of access. He knew he must be summoned.

At the base of this mountain was a vast waterfall, the source of the water he could not tell. It was clearer than glass and made a sound that boomed like a war cry.

Jack tied his horse to a tree beyond the clearing of the fall. He removed his gi and draped it over his companion. His horse pointed its head toward the fall, a fluttering sound coming from his muzzle. Apprehension. Jack stroked the animal's head in reassurance. This had the potential to be dangerous.

He made his way slowly to the lake, one that ribboned at its edges into fast flowing rivers. He exhaled, fortunate that he could not see his breath in the moonlight. Cold would prove detrimental to his concentration.

He removed his sandals at the grassy bank and took a cautious first step into the water. It was cool, swift. He would have to apply more of his strength than anticipated to make his way the base.

No moss tickled his feet. No fish slicked past his calves. The water was completely lifeless, a stark contrast to the animated waves.

He sat at the base of the fall now, positioning himself on smooth rocks. He closed his eyes and brought his hands together in concentration. He breathed in, holding his breath to steady his thoughts, and exhaled. He let the beating of the fall on his back and the crashing sound soothe him into a trance.

"Why am I here?"

"Well, my dear heart, I wanted to meet you."

The goddess, seemingly, took a step forward and suddenly she was face to face with Ashi, her size having shrunk tremendously. Iset still stood nearly a foot taller than her, and a foot taller still, with the obsidian throne on her headdress. Her dusky eyes sparkled with excitement.

Iset held out her hand. "Please. Sit."

Ashi couldn't help but look down into the abyss beneath her. Sit? How?

The goddess sensed her apprehension and lowered to her knees, folding her crimson sheath of a dress beneath her. Ashi followed suit and sat before her.

"I have looked upon countless souls, you know," she began, "each of them having lived a least a dozen, if not scores of lives. But you... your soul has only experienced a single existence. And that existence proved paradoxical! How fascinating."

Ashi squirmed. Even in life, she was never particularly comfortable talking about herself. Needless to say, the nature of her existence was a painful topic. Yet this goddess looked upon her like a relic in a gallery.

"Is... that why you've brought me here?" Her voice felt small to her ears. "Just to talk to me?"

"That all depends on how our conversation progresses."

Ashi looked wary. "Is this a test?" She was beginning to feel exhausted.

"Hold your tongue!" the goddess gasped in mild offense. "Mortals. You are all the same. Just because I am a deity does not mean everything is a test!"

Iset let out a long breath from her painted lips. "Of course, I will be asking you some questions and your answers will determine the next course of action. So, yes, I suppose, this is a test."

Ashi's brows furrowed in worry. Each moment she spent with this being made her feel increasingly uneasy. And every question she asked never received a proper answer. What was going on? Why was she summoned here? What did this goddess want from her?

"Ashi. Are you happy?"

The question was like a slap in the face. She did not have an answer. Her life flashed before her. She remembered sleeping in a cold cave as a child. No coverings, her mother believed it would help them stand stronger in the face of the elements. Beatings for a misstep. She remembered dragging her sister's body from rubble and looking down at her in disgust for her failure.

She remembered being possessed. Drowning.

No. She was not happy.

But then she remembered her purpose. Her shift from blind hatred to profound admiration. For life, for nature. She remembered the embrace of her love, her savior, and the embrace of his family and his kingdom. She helped save the future. She was heralded as a hero.

"I... was happy. For a little while."

"When you were with him."

She nodded slowly. "Yes."

"You loved him."

"Yes." Ashi chewed her bottom lip in thought. It was not that simple.

"I understand the ache of love lost," Iset replied, her voice had become low, quiet. "They say the river of the Nile overflows each year from my tears of sorrow."

"But... it was more than that," Ashi said, surprising the goddess. "My whole life, I was just an instrument. Nothing more. But he helped me see... that there was so much more to me. I was a person. With feelings and ambition and depth. I could make my own choices. I could make my own path."

She took a shuddering breath. "I was... myself. Even if I had never fallen in love with him, I was still me."

Iset smiled brilliantly. "Congratulations, Ashi."

"What?"

"You have proven yourself truly worthy of this gift. The theme of your brief life was redemption, wouldn't you agree? Such a lucky soul; most people don't get second chances. How would you like a third?"

A pause. "What?"

"Osiris, once a proud and revered king, was deceived by his jealous and spiteful brother and tragically killed, his body torn apart and scattered about the land. His beloved, stricken with utmost grief, set upon the land, collecting each piece. The Gods were moved by her undying devotion and resurrected him, so that he may rule over the upper echelon of the underworld for eternity, as a judge most merciful."

Her silence stretched on even longer. "What?"

The whiteness of Iset's teeth shined like a beacon as she smiled. "If I can revive him, I can revive you."

Realization dawned on her. A gasp caught in her throat. "Revive?"

Iset nodded. "The circumstances of your death will present some interesting challenges in your resurrection. I cannot guarantee that things will work out exactly in your favor, but if there is one thing I am, without fault," she said with a grin, "it's persuasive."

Ashi belatedly realized that although her breathing had escalated, and excitement coursed through her spirit, she did not have a heartbeat. She put a hand over her chest in disbelief of everything.

"You would do this?" she asked. "For me? But why? There is nothing I can give you in return."

The goddess waved her hand in dismissal. "You were the key to helping one of the most legendary warriors fulfill his quest. You were in part responsible for the eradication of the ultimate evil. My darling, if anything, the Gods owe you a favor."

Iset paused, a thoughtful hand on her chin. "Besides. It'll make my great-grandfather furious."

Ashi gaped. She could be revived. She could go home. She could find her love again. She could exist.

"So, what do you say, dear? Would you like to go home?"

Hours passed.

It had not seemed that much time had gone by, surprisingly. He was quite used to meditating for near days, ceasing intake of food and water so that he may enjoy quiet stillness. His clue came in the form of the prick of light on the horizon, signaling the sun's arrival.

His concentration broke. He left the fall and returned to his horse, drying himself off with a cloth from his pack. He fed himself, a small meal, so as not the diminish his supplies any more than necessary.

He returned to the fall.

"Is this really possible? I can see him again? I can live again?"

"As I said, it will be a challenge, but I believe your cause is worth it."

"Thank you," Ashi replied, her voice trembling. "Thank you, thank you, I don't know what else to say."

Iset smiled at that woman before her.

"Would you like to see him now?"

"What?" she gasped. "How?"

"I can send you to him. It will be brief, but he will know. May I suggest you choose your words carefully."

"Yes," Ashi said with a nod of her head. "Please. I would love to see him."

"Very well. Remember what I said."

Iset lifted her hands from her lap and gently cradled Ashi's head. She leaned forward as if to place a kiss on her forehead and suddenly, Ashi felt nothing.

An instant. The darkness left her. She looked around and immediately recognized her surroundings.

She was back. She was in Jack's bedroom. Their bedroom.

She looked down and noted her skin, naked, glowing from the warm light of the candles around the room. She found Jack sleeping, lying on his side away from her. She walked to the edge of the bed and silently slipped underneath the sheets to join him. She inhaled deeply, the scent of him on their sheets. She thought she might cry, being so close to him again, but she could not produce the tears.

She ran a long finger down his naked spine.

"Is this a dream?"

"Not really."

She relished his touch. Her lips curved into a frown at the sorrow in his eyes. She wanted to reassure him, protect him from all pain. She was safe. She would be back.

"Let's just say, the Gods owe me a favor."

It happened all too fast. Ashi could feel something, a tingling in her spirit, she assumed caused by their kiss. Gradually, the tingling felt like a vibration. Her breath caught with dread. No.

She was being called back.

His lips left hers, making its way down to her neck. She shuddered. She never thought she would feel such pleasure again.

The vibration intensified. It would not be long now.

"Jack. I have to go."

"No. Please don't leave me."

She promised him her return. She told him she loved him. She felt herself being ripped away, plunging back into darkness.

She landed back in the cosmic abyss, before Iset, on her knees, heaving.

Her spirit ached at the loss of touch of her love. His voice sounded so pained before she departed again. She wanted to cry. But she couldn't.

"Why can't I cry?" she said through gritted teeth.

"Tsk, darling," Iset said, ignoring her. "Using my own words with such confidence. You do not even know if this will work." The goddess stood, shaking her head.

"What?" Her emotions were already running high. Ashi lifted her fingers to rub her temples, trying to quell the sudden rush of anger. "What do you mean this may not work?"

"Didn't you hear what I said? The disappearance of your soul will be challenging to return to the mortal world. I will help you, but there are no guarantees. Even the Gods have limits."

"Why didn't you tell me that before I saw him! I don't understand any of this! You told me you could revive me but haven't explained any of it!" Ashi was yelling again, unable to reel in her frustration. Her teeth clenched in fury. She had promised Jack that she would return. What if she had given him false hope? She kept expecting tears to fall from her eyes but they would not come.

"Why can't I cry?"

"Calm yourself." Iset's voice was firm.

Ashi stopped her tirade in an instant. Her breathing was still heavy. Her shoulders sagged, feeling defeated.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Indeed. I understand your frustration. I will explain as best I can."

Ashi didn't realize that Iset had knelt before her until she felt a gentle hand tilt her chin up. The goddess was smiling slightly.

"Now, I have granted you the use of a physical form but it is not a mortal body. That is why you cannot cry. That is the first challenge of your revival. There are other challenges, of course, but they will be explained. I promise you, Ashi. I will not deceive you."

Ashi bowed her head once more. "Thank you, Goddess. I am truly grateful for your kindness."

"Please, call me Iset."

"Iset," she replied, lifting her head with a small smile.

"And you are very welcome. Now, shall we depart?"

She nodded.

"Splendid!" Iset clapped her hands together. "For our first order of business: we're going to meet one of the idiots responsible for this mess. It has been such a long time since we were in each other's presence. Oh, this will be fun."

The sound of the goddess' laughter rang out into the cosmos. Ashi laughed along nervously.

What exactly had she gotten herself into?

The fall of darkness on the land signified his third night at the base of the mountain. He was soaked to the bone, fingers wrinkled, his long hair matted to his shoulders. He had sat, largely unmoving for large stretches of time, a single question ringing out as a mantra.

Why?

Eventually, that single question became multiple questions. Those questions became pleas. He tried to keep his anger, his growing frustration, from pervading his thoughts but the longer he sat, the more difficult the task became.

Then the temperature dropped, almost instantaneously, sending a chill through him that shocked him out of his meditation. His teeth clenched together, out of cold and spite.

The Gods would not hear him.

He exited the pool, water splashing against his legs with every stomp. He walked back to his horse and dried himself off hastily with a cloth from his pouch. He could feel an ache in his jaw as he continued grinding his teeth. He felt foolish. He should have known this journey would prove fruitless. He should never have left home.

He cursed them. He would never say it aloud, he couldn't, but his heart cursed the Gods. He was nothing more than an instrument to them. Now that his destiny was complete, now that he had questions, they ignored him. Such cruelty. Such selfishness.

His horse whinnied, high-pitched, as if frightened. Jack turned to a stunning sight.

Another horse, a massive thing, stood before him. It had an otherworldly presence, completely motionless save for the gentle heaving of its chest. Large, cerulean eyes stared back at him. A mane of silver glistened despite the overcast of clouds in the sky. Vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped about its grand hooves. All eight of them.

Sleipnir. The steed of Odin.

The Gods had summoned him.

Author's Note

Woo! Thank you all for your patience. This was a fun chapter to write.

To give you a bit of insight into my writing process: I have this entire story outlined. It's long. We're gonna be here for a while :D

The next two chapters have been written, for the most part. With the exception of the first chapter, I didn't want to post until I've got the next parts of the stories nearly ready to go. But I do this on purpose. I like to drop hints here and there of where things are going and I want to make sure that I leave no stone unturned. That's why this may take a while. But I promise it will be worth it!

Many, many thanks to everyone who has followed, favorited and reviewed this story. Stay tuned for the next episode of Season 6 of Samurai Jack! (Wishful thinking but hey, I'm a dreamer.)
