#CHANGED MY CALL TAG BECAUSE MY OLD 1 WAS GOOFY

[majormeilani]

i'm literally coughing laughing because i didn't realize that i fucking skibidi toileted him until my brother said something

[bidoofenergy]

from my AU where Tango is a retired footballer (soccer player) turned sports commentator/interviewer and Jimmy is a popular footballer that’s desperately trying to seem Smart and Impress Tango part 1 | part 2

Someone is torturing Tango. That's the only possible explanation. He was a horrible terrible person in his past life or as a teenager or maybe even yesterday—that's the only reasonable explanation.

“I'm being tortured,” he whispers confidentially to Impulse. Impulse snorts and hastily covers with a coughing fit. It really isn't believable but Tango pats him on his back and waves off the few looks they get. Thankfully, everyone is focused on the front of the room—the source of his pain: Jimmy. 

If you really want to get into it, the real source of his pain is the changing media landscape around football, the way broadcast television has been forced to make room for social media and streaming services. Now the priority isn't just in-depth interviews with players; it's also about farming clips to put on Instagram or whatever. Usually, this doesn't bother Tango. Usually, he likes when his nieces send him viral posts of himself doing something goofy in an interview. Usually, he's not watching Jimmy Solidarity be adorable. 

Someone, probably a fan, has given Jimmy a soft hat, with a cute face stitched on and floppy bunny ears and long paws that hang around his shoulders. Every time Jimmy squeezes the paws, the ears stand up. It's adorable. It's obscene. It's killing him. 

In the front of the room, someone is asking Jimmy a long question that Tango cannot process. Jimmy frowns and tilts his head and halfway squeezes one paw so an ear perks up a little, giving him the perfect look of a confused puppy. A wave of muffled laughter spreads through the crowd and the poor reporter stutters in the middle of their question. Jimmy nods encouragingly, keeping his eyes fixed on the reporter. Tango feels a little sorry for them—and a lot like pushing his way forward to take their place. 

Not that he'd even be able to form a question if he gets called on. Tango had questions in mind before they started, a mix of the usual post-match bullshit and ones that’d make most players stumble, but now his mind is perfectly blank in a way it hasn't been since he was 13-years-old and discovering what being horny felt like. 

Back up front, Jimmy starts answering, eyes serious despite the ridiculousness of everything else. When he gestures he keeps ahold of the paws, like he can't bring himself to let go. Cute—but in a way that makes Tango sweat. 

Tango folds his arms. Readjusts his lean against the back wall. Covers his mouth with a hand and tries to frown in a thoughtful way. He’s not absorbing a word of this conference. The question might’ve been about youth teams? Or the transfer window? Or the standings so far? 

Or maybe Tango's being punished because he can't keep it together long enough to get through a post-match conference—the thing that makes up half of his career now. At least, not when there's an attractive 20-something sitting up front. This is far from the first time Tango has been rendered completely useless by Jimmy. That's probably why Impulse had decided to tag along today, why he has a notepad out though his scribbling doesn't hide his smirk. 

He'll take notes for Tango—but not warn him. Tango needs better friends. 

The next reporter has a question of the softball, clip-farming genre: “Where'd you get the hat?” 

“A fan!” Jimmy says excitedly and makes the ears stand straight up. “This kid, she tossed it to me while we were heading back inside.” Tango is a professional—he swallows the urge to coo. Around him, his peers fail, aww-ing as if on cue.

Jimmy grins, cocky and crooked. He's scanning the crowd and when he catches Tango's eye his smile grows. He squeezes the paws out of sync so his ears flop up and down one after the other. Tango swallows a second, even less professional, noise. 

Thankfully, for both Tango's heart and career, that was the last question. A manager reappears to shepherd Jimmy away and another to disperse the crowd of reporters. Impulse and Tango are close enough to the door to slide out almost immediately. In the hallway, Impulse finally lets out his laughter. Tango lets out a long groan, stopping and burying his face in his hands, letting everyone that files out after them jostle him around. 

“This is really great.” Impulse says brightly. 

Tango needs better friends. 

“Tango!” Jimmy calls across the noise. “Impulse!” When Jimmy Solidarity calls, you answer. They both turn. 

Tango raises a hand in greeting. He can't bring himself to move—he doesn't know if he can handle Jimmy like this up close. “Hey kid,” he calls back. 

“Good game today!” Impulse adds. 

Something in Jimmy's smile falters even as he draws close, moving through the crowd like he doesn't even notice how they all stop for him. Or his annoyed manager that he left behind. “Thanks,” he says to Impulse before turning to Tango. “You didn't have a question for me today!” 

“I did not.” Tango agrees. He absolutely cannot handle Jimmy this cute and this close to him. This wasn't the right answer because Jimmy frowns and looks even cuter. 

“I like your questions.” Jimmy says—a hilarious thing for him to say to Tango. 

“I don't think I ever liked anything the press asked me when I was playing.” Tango laughs. He glances at Impulse for backup, but Impulse is suddenly busy talking to another reporter Tango could've sworn he hated. 

“Maybe, it's about who's asking the questions.” Jimmy says and he's looking straight at Tango and his eyes are so big and so brown and Tango's brain is already sludge, from the day and the match and Jimmy, and Tango can't help but feel like maybe Jimmy might mean something, might be trying to say something with the careful way he's looking at Tango with his big beautiful brown eyes. 

Or maybe Tango is old and retired and a hot striker is looking down at him again. 

“Timmy!” Either way, Tango isn't figuring it out today. It's Grian yelling for Jimmy, of course, from next to their disgruntled-looking manager. Jimmy slumps, the way he usually does at the sound of Grian's nickname, and Tango can't help the pang of worry at the expression on his face. 

“Captain's calling,” Jimmy says with a sigh. He backs up a few steps. “See ya, Impulse,” he calls and somehow Impulse had conveniently ended his conversation in time to wave. “Bye Tango!” 

“See ya, Jimmy,” Tango waves and hopes he doesn't look as stupidly fond as he feels.

Jimmy doesn't wave; instead he flip-flops his ears one last time.

Thanks to @hailqiqi for tagging me about ten thousand years ago. I just have so much to do 😩 Anyway! The original post said:

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

Here we go!

Breaking Free - the whole series

I'm cheating here, because I'm listing a multi-book series, but I can't help it. I'm super proud of it. It started as a one-shot of Adrien and Marinette finding Gabriel's basement, and then it spiralled hard. It begins right after Strike Back. From there, it's a complicated, twisted and very bumpy ride.

'How did you think this up?' my BF beta has asked me many times. I don't know, guys. It just seemed obvious at the time 😆

This was my 'getting back into writing' book, after a lengthy creative hiatus / identity crisis. I churned out chapters because I needed to get back in the game and rediscover myself artistically. Then I went back and edited the whole thing a couple years later, to make it better (and expand it by about 20k words).

It became a series because I had requests for sequel scenes. Again, a couple one-shot ideas spiralled, and I merged them with another premise that had been kicking around in my head - Adrien, years later, trying to heal from everything as an adult and find himself as a father with his own teenage son.

That then spiralled again, and I ended up exploring Felix in depth, too, and pushing all the sentibeing stuff to extremes. The whole concept for Book 4 intimidated the hell out of me as soon as I thought of it. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Writing it was sometimes physical torture. But in the end, I think Book 4 contains what might be the best chapter I've ever written for anything in my life.

Still, the saga continues! Book 5 starts posting in 4 weeks. I've set myself another crazy challenge with that one, but I am determined to pull it off. I also have ideas for a few one-shots to collect in a volume I'm calling Book 6. The series is going to be like 700k words by the time I'm done. Maybe more. Will I ever truly finish this thing? I don't know. I fell so hard into the universe I created, and it's going to be hard to let it go. I fully expect to cry when I post the epilogue to Book 5.

Book 1 was also how I really got into this fandom and started making friends. Honestly, that book changed my life. Yeah...I'm gonna cry.

Dreaming Wide Awake

This was my follow-up to the S5 finale. The show is now going its own way, but I'm still so proud of how all the tension and emotions turned out in this fic. Again, the story is complex. It's also really surreal, and I think the battle scenes are some of my best. I was soooo nervous about the reader response to one of the big moments in it, but the unanimous reaction was everything I'd hoped for.

How the Heart Learns to Beat Again

A backstory from Nathalie's POV. It starts with her at age 25, as the sole survivor of an old magical order, going on extraordinary adventures seeking legendary artefacts. Then she meets the Agrestes, loses her magic, and gets roped into a new crazy world.

The story also explores Gabriel and Emilie, Colt and Amelie, and Adrien and Felix's creation / infancy. Book 2 (covering Emilie's death and how Gabriel and Nathalie start using the butterfly and peacock) starts posting on Monday. I think these fics are possibly the most mature writing I've ever done. There's a certain 'voice' to them that stands out from my other writing.

Finding a Way (Jurassic Park AU)

This is my most successful fic, so far. It's half goofy / romantic and half tense / action - with a lot of gore. I thought it would be total crack, but it took on a life of its own and became much more serious. There was something magical about how it all came together. I'm planning a sequel, but I need to get through a few other big fics first.

Voyage! Tales of the USS Miraculous (Star Trek Crossover)

This is so far from finished, but I'm having a blast writing it. It's basically all planned out and going to be mammoth when it's done. There's a little of everything in it, and you don't need to know Star Trek to understand it. I'm loving the reader speculations over what might be going on.

Okay! That's my list. Tagging @raspberrycatapult @kuromori4 @cardiac-agreste @mysticraven20 @trinketsinthesun @hamsteriffic @jigglypuff1994 @fandomofone

FAvorite Fics?!

Tagged by @writingmyownhappyending to make a list of my five favourite fics. Thank you for the tag!

No specific order as it changes depending on my mood. It's difficult enough to choose five. I love all my ugly children, I just sometimes need more one-on-one time with one over the others for a bit.

Even those stories that sound a little darker will all eventually have a happy end.

1. Future/Null [have to simplify the name because some sites can't handle the pseudo-code lol] - krtsk; Mature (nsfw, violence, depressing themes); a cyberpunk AU with slowburn enemies to frenemies to lovers and sugar daddy/sugar baby dynamics. I have fun with the world and with the character dynamics between Tsukki who just hit rock bottom in his life and Kuroo who's so perfectly caring and suave that you want to smash him face-first against a wall sometimes. Also, Kenma & Aone friendship wasn't something I knew I needed in my life until I started writing it.

2. The Devil's Lap - krtsk; Mature (nsfw, violence); a low fantasy AU with some gritty elements incl. trauma and several forms of abuse. Kei lived his teenage years as the King's spoiled plaything until the new queen wanted him gone. Brutally. Prince Shoyou and his bodyguard Kageyama save him from a dehumanising fate as the town's whore and hide him at the tavern called The Devil's Lap, owned by former General Tanaka. Kuroo, a good-for-nothing playboy flirts with a witch and is turned into an ugly crooked cat.

3. Orchid Manor - krtsk; Mature (nsfw in the future, themes like death, loss, and depression); an urban fantasy AU and ghost story. At 19, Tsukki lost his mother and brother in a plane crash, leaving him without any close family. He inheritase an old manor, a place that's considered bad luck. On top of dealing with the loss, he has to deal with new friends, an odd older couple living by a graveyard, and a ghost that seems to be smitten with him, disregards personal space, but also saves his life more than once.

4. Backwater Fall - krtsk; Mature (nsfw, violence); a grim western AU with demons. The small isolated village Backwater Fall attend a regular Sunday sermon when the door of their church opens and a naked, wounded stranger walks in and stabs their priest, Father Kuroo. Only Dr. Iwaizumi instantly recognises something is very off and that this youth might help him with putting an end to the autrocities his hometown commits in the name of god. A god that demands a fresh sacrifice soon if the good people of Backwater Fall want the devestating draught to come to an end.

5. A Taste of the Future - krtsk; Mature (nsfw); a slightly naughty oneshot. Tsukki can only roll his eyes at the self-important and patronizing speeches from his boyfriend Oikawa. He can't deal with this toxic relationship anymore but he knows just the right person who'll help him. Kuroo, who runs a rather peculiar breakup-business, happily takes the case - for a fee and the fun of it. It's short, it's a little naughty, it's fun, and it's a delight to write a goofy dork like Oikawa as a controlling, smug bad guy.

I'm late to the party, the people I know as fic writers already have been tagged :')

General Info + F.A.Q

General Info

This is is a blog for all things about Krow.

This is an 18+ blog so minors DO NOT INTERACT Any blogs that do not have their age listed in their bio or haven’t DMed me their age proving they're 18+ WILL be blocked! I'm serious, please PLEASE have your age in your bio OR DM me it.

I’ll be posting art, musings and the like. Share fan creations from others, answer asks and questions. May or may not do some sort of project with this nasty gremlin, in which case I’ll use this space to document the journey.

Be sure to check down below and read the FAQ too! Your question could be answered there already!

If you enjoy my work here on the blog, and wanna support me, you can donate at my Ko-Fi! Please DON’T feel pressured to do so. It’s completely optional!

TO NOTE: Update (as of 1/26/2023) So I’ve had Krow for a few months now. Not nearly as long as my other OC’s but decent length of time for me to have figured out some things. However, even so, this blog is mainly for fun, just a means of me writing and drawing for this goofy boy, so some answers may just be silly. Don’t take EVERYTHING I say as the end all be all canon of Krow. I may change my mind on things (and I have before, a number of times).

Below is my old To Note but I’ll keep it up anyway ndfgbl.szf

Krow is a very new character for me, which is to say; until/unless I say otherwise, do NOT take everything said here for absolute canon, lore and fact. You’re basically seeing and experiencing the messy process that is... creating a character, and in many ways, helping me develop him further. Things can and will change with him. Design, lore, bits of personality and so on. Just so you’re aware. (: 

(Anon asks are OFF because I am simply not comfortable with having them on. Apologies.)

F.A.Q.

(Probably put more here later)

Does Krow have a VN? When is he getting one? I’ve gotten a number of asks and questions about this from numerous people since I first started this blog and the answer is still the same: I don’t know.  I created Krow mainly as just a way to entertain myself and because games like 14DWY and RH inspired me to. Krow happened to strike a chord with the community, I was asked by a few friends to make a blog so they could send in goofy asks. Now Krow has a decent following (which I am grateful for!) and so I’ve been getting asked this more and more. If I were to seriously consider a VN though, I would have to do a LOT of work. When I made Krow, I created him “in a vacuum” as I like to put it, by which I mean... he doesn’t HAVE a story. There aren’t other defined characters, a setting or such besides him and Dove. So if I were to make a VN, I would need to think of other characters, the setting and so on. While I am not settled on the idea of a VN yet, I HAVE been muddling on expanding the “Krow Verse” as it were. I hope to introduce some other characters to you all soon!

How old is Krow? So *I* personally headcanon Krow at 25, HOWEVER, generally speaking, he can be whatever you headcanon him at as long as he’s 18+. My other headcanon is that he is always a year older than you/Dove. How tall is Krow? Similar to his age, you can headcanon him at various heights. However, his MAX height (and what I headcanon him as) is 5′1″, but he is always at least one inch shorter than you.  Krow is absolutely fine with Dove being much taller than him. 

What ethnicity is Krow? Krow is Indian + Bengali, though he was born in America! And this will ALWAYS be canon.

What’s Krow’s job? He works as a crime scene/forensics cleaner! He works for a very small (as in about five people including him) licensed company to go around and clean up the scenes of murders, not so wellness checks and the like.  He also does some black market organ selling as a side hustle, which come from his own murders. He is also sometimes commissioned to do art! (In particular his other yandere friends go to him for art pieces.)

So Krow’s an artist, what kind of art does he do? The answer is... a bit of everything lmao. Mostly draws and paints, since that’s the easiest and most portable. But he also sculpts (as in using clay but he also buys blocks of marble or such to literally carve into when he can afford it), wood carving and widdling, has done metal working, sometimes writes poetry, customizes and even builds dolls. Pretty much any (traditional) visual art medium there is, Krow has done/does. 

Does Krow have a speech impediment? He does! He’s had his stutter for many years, but has never gotten any kind of correctional therapy for... spoilery reasons.

How did Dove meet Krow? There isn’t really a “canon” way (as of now) that Dove meets Krow, just that it was purely coincidental. So you can headcanon pretty much almost anything of how Dove and Krow meet. Examples I’ve listed before have been at the park, out just walking in public, the grocery store, maybe even your work. To Dove, it may have just been some run of the mill encounter. For Krow however, it was life changing.

FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY WHERE IS THE NSFW ABC’S??!!! I finally got you bae’s. It is right here

Okay what about his SFW ABC's? They are right here!

About Demon King of the Desert

First, let me say it shocks me how swiftly this story got off the ground and gained this crazy following.

It beat Contract out of the water in less than a year and all from people who don't know or care too much I'm using a character from another franchise.

I appreciate that all. Truly.

It's amazing to read comments from folks who said 'they didn't know about Overlord at all but certainly love the character or are tempted to check it out'. Or they just become Demiurge fans in general. ♥ That's amazing. I love it, as I do feel his character gets little to no attention in the source material.

However, problems are arising on and off on my other social media accounts, so I figure I'd address them here.

-- Demiurge is from Overlord. An anime/ Light Novel Isekai series. I know one person said they couldn't get my notes to load well in chapter 1, so they missed that part when they found my art on DA, so I'll post that comment again here. Yes, he is his own entity in that story, and has no relation to the source material. I could change his physical appearance as I have some of his abilities, and he'd be 100% mine. As is in that story, he's only about 50%. So keep that in mind. -- The story took a bit of a backseat lately because of other projects I'm interested in and, also, the end of the year is just all around hectic for me. I barely have the emotional or physical energy to work on stories/art as I'd like and mostly do other things. Is it on hiatus? No. But I can't say I know when I'll pump out another chapter. The last one was horribly rushed, and I didn't like that. I kinda hate how much like 'filler' it reads to be honest. I do have a small memo pad jotted down to explain the easy end to the story. It's there. I have it. But writing the scenes to get there is a challenge. Bear with me. lol I have ADHD and sticking to one project out of many is hard. Very hard. -- Unless you think you can use HTML to downsize a proper gif/image, do NOT submit it into your comments. I just had to block someone who kept putting large images from Overlord into the comments and it was getting annoying. It may look fine on mobile, but I use PC way more than mobile. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't use my phone unless I'm away from the PC. Again, the story is NOT from that universe. At all. Do not make references to it. -- I do not want children near my mature works or my space at ALL. If you cannot handle the themes of this story without writing/thinking goofy things, then it's obviously not for you. I don't want you reading my stuff if it explicitly states 18+ and you're under 18 or just emotionally immature. -- The Alpha/Omega is a theme presented in the story with very little in your face A/B/O dynamics. Sexual themes are not as frequent as I had originally planned. The main reason for this is the story was meant to be 10 chapters at best and come to a swift, and more horny conclusion. I was writing it away from Overlord because I wanted to heal from fandom abuse at the time. It was a cathartic piece that blossomed into it's own world. Like all my stories, however, it grew legs and ran off on its own--giving more story than sexual themes. Odd as it is to say: I love sex to be given at the right time. I love the build up of it. But I put the tags in there to warn there are scenes of it all the same. It might sound like there's sex in every chapter, but I promise, there's not. -- I do not want it posted anywhere other than AO3 or Wattpad! As of current, it's only posted on those two sites. If it ever gets reposted anywhere else, it is not my doing. So please. Notify me and or report it!

I thank you all again for your support. ♥ I will return to it when possible. I promise!

Greta Van Fleet as Dad's

Haven't been able to un-see this idea since it showed up on my dash and uggggh. I couldn't get over how cute all of this was.

For this imagine, I'm sort of picturing them with younger children, anywhere from 3-5 years old as they are all still crazy young hehe. Also. All of these imagines work with any gender of child. It's all sorta just what I imagine them having and being like in general 🖤

Taglist: @anditsmywholeheart

JOSH

Josh is such an interesting guy. He is both so deeply smart... but also at the same time he is the equivalent of a conversation between my last two brain cells.

The sheer amount of energy this man has means he'll not only keep up with a kid but also tire them tf out.

There would always be so much screaming and laughing in the house.

Lots of games of tag and the floor is lava

No matter what he has, son or daughter --- there will be so much dancing. Josh would be the kind of dad who loves to hold his kid and just dance around the house with them.

Not to mention all of the goofy songs they would be singing together.

I can see Josh conversing with his kids like adults even when they are little. Meaning there will be some very serious conversations about very silly things. Potato chips can make you a fly? On it. The floor is both lava and also the arctic? Josh is ready to hear all about how that's possible. There aren't mermaids but there are human sharks? Josh needs to know where he can find them asap.

I can very easily imagine him dressed up and sitting at a table that is far too small for him with his legs crossed.

His daughter would have started by putting one necklace on him and it soon escalated to a crown, sunglasses that didn't fit, and a set of fairy wings. Surrounded by many stuffed animals and dolls.

"Mmm, this is great tea! What kind is it?"

"Grape."

He'd look at his tiny tea cup filled with apple juice. "Huh I could have sworn it was Apple. Did you change it on me?"

She would shake her head, "No daddy! We already drank the apple tea!" She'd laugh.

"What?? You drank all the apple tea without me?!" He'd exclaim, "why did you drink all the apple tea with out me?"

Josh would inch over and begin to tickle her, just loving to hear her laugh really.

"Daddy! Daddy no! You can't tickle me, I'm the princess!!"

Jake

Jake immediately strikes me as such a chill laid back dad. The kind of cool dad you'd definitely want during your teenage years.

He'd be the kind of dad to sit and watch cartoons religiously with his kid, there's no way he'd be missing them. Doesn't matter if it's cool or comedy gold, if his little one loves it they're gonna watch it together.

I think Jake would really want to teach his kid how to play guitar. It's something he's so passionate about that I think it would bring him a lot of joy if his kid had at least the knowledge of techniques and things, even if they weren't a huge fan of playing themselves.

Jake as well strikes me as someone who would be psyched about making dad jokes, of course with a straight face.

That is just a long winded way of saying that as a very young child this kid would know more about music than I do now after 20 years of living on this planet.

"What did the Buffalo say to his little boy when he dropped him off at school?"

"Bison!"

For a gender of a kid I'm split right in the middle when it comes to Jake. I think either would be equally as adorable but for this imagine I'm going with a girl to keep things even.

With a little girl I can imagine him sitting quietly as he watches her tiny hands try their best to paint his nails cleanly.

There is pink nail polish everywhere. Everything is a mess. Everything smells of chemicals. But it's fine.

"After I do your nails can I braid your hair too?" She'd eagerly ask, not looking at his hands anymore but she is still trying to paint.

"But your show is going to be on soon...! I thought we were gonna cuddle?"

"....can I braid your hair and watch my show?"

Jake would look at her seriously before smiling, moving quickly to give her a small kiss on the cheek, "of course you can, only if you give me lots of cuddles after."

"Okay daddy!"

*insert a child who is only half heartedly braiding hair while fully enthralled in their show. Head tilted on a 45° angle to see the TV with half of Jake's hair in a frizzy mangled braid.*

Sam

I really think Sam would want his kids to listen to really good music from a young age.

I mean don't get me wrong I think all of the boys would be like this... but I see him being the kind of parent that buys into the "smarter babies listened to music in important development periods"

The ultimate "my kid is so smart" kind of parent that then shows you 20 drawings that don't look like anything, but clearly they look like something to him.

All those drawings get tucked away somewhere safe so he can go back and look at them proudly as his little one grows up.

"Maybe they'll be an artist?!"

He also strikes me as a parent who wants to be really involved in teaching his kid things. ABC's? Sam's baby has them locked and loaded. Numbers 1-20? Still has trouble remembering anything with a nine but we are working on it.

Ultimate joy is achieved when Sam gets to teach his little one how to ride a bike. He feeling like its a right of passage for every kid to have with their dad.

I pictured Sam sitting with his little boy at the kitchen table, puzzle pieces sprawled all over.

"Dad, I have a joke for you." He'd say as he fiddled with a piece.

"Oh yeah? Go for it buddy." Sam would reply as he connects another edge piece.

"Knock knock!"

"Whose there?"

"Banana!"

"Banana who?"

"The Banana man!" Snickering coming from across the table, hands banging on the table and nearly knocking several pieces off the table.

Sam would laugh a long, "Y'know I've never heard that version of that joke---"

"Dad I'm not done"

"Oh I'm sorry, continue." He'd say beginning to look for a few more pieces to go together.

"Knock knock!"

"Whose there?"

"Banana!"

"Banana who...?" Sam would respond slowly, prepared for the same poorly created joke.

"TWO BANANA MEN!"

Sam would have to lay on the table. It was such a freaking terrible joke but so funny to see the amount of joy it brought the little boys features. "You have to tell that one to mom, okay?"

Danny

Danny is such a loving guy in general, I feel like parenting for him would just be so easy. Not saying that there wouldn't be troubled times--- just that he's just one of those people that were born to parent.

The very dependable parent. Always going to make time for any small thing his little one needs.

Danny is going to encourage his kid to do whatever they love with all of his being.

"You like rocks? We should get a rock polisher."

"You're right these cookies are pretty good, maybe we should get the stuff we need to bake them together."

He is going to have a series or specific book he reads to his little one until they fall asleep. Its something he would refuse to miss, they have to do their chapter! Even if he's on tour somewhere he's going to call home to make sure they can read together.

Danny is over the moon to have a little golfing buddy. As soon as this kid could walk he bought them their own set of clubs so they could play along with him. He just couldn't wait to start teaching them.

Golf time is bonding time. They'd get to walk together and talk about anything and everything.

I've been crazy torn about whether to write about him with a son or a daughter, both are equally as cute. For the sake of evenness though I decided on a boy.

"Okay so for your driver buddy you need to hold your arms waaay out." Danny would tell his son holding his arms out.

"Like this?"

"A little more."

Little eyes look to Danny curiously as his arms become fully extended from his body.

"Perfect! Make sure you stand straight, and keep your eyes on the ball." He says with his hand on the middle of the boys back, "And then you just---"

"SWING!"

Danny nearly getting clocked in the head with a golf club but leans back just in time. The satisfying ting of the little one's club hitting the ball sounds,

"DID YOU SEE HOW FAR IT WENT DAD?!"

*Insert the face Danny made when he pretended Sam's margarita's were good*

Dreams, Chapter 13

If you haven’t read this series before, you might want to start on Chapter 1, or check out the Dreams Masterlist! Here’s the series description:

When Dean dies for good leaving Sam and his girlfriend (the reader) behind, they must figure out how to carry on without him. Alone, reeling, and unsure what to do next, trying to honor Dean’s memory and follow their hearts gets even more complicated when their nightmares become dreams that feel a little too real.

Title: Dreams, Chapter 13

Pairing: (past) Dean Winchester x Reader, (eventual) Sam Winchester x Reader

Word Count: 1513

Summary: The reader has another dream with Dean, where he emphasizes how he feels in a variety of ways.

Warnings: angst, fluff, swearing, s l o w  b u r n, this section has a little smut, oblique mention of suicide

           The last lingering kids are leaving the other side of the playground as the golden hour streams through the trees, likely going home to their families for dinner and homework and whatever else normal kids do on fall afternoons like this. Sunlight seeps into your jeans even as the air has a touch of chill to it, and when you pump your legs the balance feels amazing.

           “What’re you, trying to go all the way around?” Dean laughs, looking impossibly overgrown in worn shit kickers on a swing meant for children next to yours. You throw your head back to laugh, feeling the wind through your hair as you soar past him. When the chains start to jump a little you back off, letting your momentum wind all the way down until you’re swaying back and forth lazily together. You reach over and slip your index into a new hole in the knee of Dean’s jeans. He links his fingers into yours loosely, play-coy. “You always did love these, you little minx.”

           “What can I say? I like as much of your skin as I can get.” You give him your best Dean Winchester wink and he bites his lip through a chuckle. For a long minute you sit just like that, feeling the warmth and calm soak into your pores. “What should I do, Dean?” you murmur.

           He swipes his thumb across the back of your hand. “He needs time. It’s going to be okay, I swear. You know Sam he’s just—he’s in his head.”

           You nod to yourself. “It’s that we’re happier, right? Is that how this works, how you can come be my Friendly Neighborhood Freddie Krueger, or whatever?”

           “The way Cas explained it was ‘closer to true serenity and self-realization’ so whatever the hell that means. You are, though, right? Happier?”

           Meeting his eyes made you feel even more relaxed, steady and reassured regardless of how bizarre it was to tell him, “Yeah, I really am. Dean, I—I miss you so bad it still sometimes feels like I’m going to puke. But yeah, I’m happier with Sam. I love him, baby.”

           Dean’s gaze goes fuzzy with affection around the edges. “Well, he’s pretty damn lovable. Runs in the family, what can I say?” He kisses the back of your hand. “Good.”

           “Good?”

           “It’s not a trap, babe. You’re still my girl.”

           “I love you.” It’s all you can say, all you can think, really. You watch his profile for a moment as he squints against the low afternoon sun, casting beautiful sunflower light over his freckles. “What happens if I don’t wake up?”

           “Your subconscious will kick me out and you’ll wake up automatically. I don’t think you can really control it.”

           “No, I mean, like, if I don’t wake up?”

           Dean turns toward you, jaw set hard and nostrils flared. “That’s not fucking funny.”

           He tries to pull his hand out of yours but you tighten your grip. “What’s the point though? If you’re, you know, okay, can’t we just—”

           “No, we ‘can’t just,’” he scowls. “All the bullshit I’ve done over the years to keep you two alive, but fuck it, who cares? Let’s throw in the towel, really make the whole thing worth it.”

           “I’m—Dean, it’s not that. I just don’t understand what we’re waiting for. It’s not like Sam and I are even hunting anymore, there’s no more ‘bigger purpose’ to our lives, why be separated—”

           “The ‘bigger purpose’ is you fucking being alive. That’s the bigger purpose. Forget it, off the fucking table.”

           “Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it’s not really your call.”

           Dean finally yanks hard enough to get his hand out of your grip and braces his elbows on his knees to hold his chin. The serious angles of his anger look out of place as he sways slightly, boots in the playground mulch where he sits on his swing. He looks back at you after taking a deep breath. “Kid, please. Just, please? I’m—that’s all I want, is you guys getting old, really getting out. I can’t have—I can’t have Sam’s whole life be only hunting, he deserves more than that.”

           You scoff, half a derisive laugh. “Making his decisions from beyond the grave, that’s good, even for you.”

           “Is it really that bad? All I’m asking you to do is wait. You’ll get here soon enough.”

           “Yeah, it really is. It really is that fucking bad. And honestly, who are you to ask me that? You’re not here, Dean. How can you ask us to do it without you?”

           “It’s not like you two are fucking here with me! Do you think I’m loving every minute of it, getting grapes fed to me by 1992 Pam Anderson all goddamn day? I’m alone. It’s heaven and I can, whatever, visit Bobby or our folks, get so blasted I can’t see and wake up with no hangover, but you two aren’t there. Do you get that? So I get some glimpses of you guys and I know you’re taking care of each other and I can fucking wait, because that’s the way things are supposed to be.”

           He’s trying hard to keep his voice level but it’s coming out like a growl, and you know him, know from that clench of his jaw that he’s barely keeping it together, on this stupid swing set in this stupid gorgeous park, whose attached memory you can’t even recall.

           “Hey,” you breathe, getting up out of your swing to stand in front of him, taking each of his hands and putting them around your hips as you slot one leg on either side of his waist and settle on his lap. This close you can practically count each of his eyelashes where they graze his cheekbones and you take one hand to tilt his face up to yours, your toes just barely grazing the ground behind him. “Okay. I’m sorry. Okay.” You curl forward into him, catching the plush of his lips and kissing Dean in apology. He snakes a hand into your hair, winding his fingers in it and kissing you back, and you feel the twinge of desperate frustration, meeting him there with everything you have, shifting all your weight onto his center of gravity and working as best you can to weld your body to his. Dean’s other hand slides to your lower back, under your shirt, the callused tips of his fingers digging into the skin and he’s just as hungry for you as you are for him, grabbing at his chest hard enough that you’re at risk of ripping his shirt, pink lines from your nails marking up Dean’s neck.

           The hand in your hair tugs back, firm enough to be rough, and the noise you make is halfway between a moan and a whimper as he bites your neck, the sound hardening Dean through the denim under you and then he’s tearing at your shirt, not bothering with the obstacle of your jacket at all as he tries to shuck both off at once.

           “We’re in a—Dean, we’re in a fucking playground,” you hiss, about two inches away from not caring.

           “Babe, it’s a dream, we’re not really in a park,” he mutters along your jugular, the moist slick of spit turning ice cold in the fall air.

           That’s all the permission you need and you lean back to let him rip, flicking open the metal of his belt buckle and button, unzipping his jeans. “Fuck—kid, careful with the zipper,” Dean grunts, diction poor as you bite his lower lip.

           “I don’t want—to wake—up—before—" you murmur though fevered motion, licking and nipping along Dean’s jaw, and the realization gets Dean with the picture. He stands up fast, picking you up and crushing you into the metal pole of the swing set, practically shredding your jeans as his start to slump around his hips, worn plaid of his boxers covering the fast-thickening length of him and you turn to lean your chest against the pole, ready for him before he spins you hard.

           “Need to see you,” he says, almost quiet and gentle as his hands are moving roughly against your body, and you see the touch of wetness at the base of his eyelashes while you try to stand on one leg and yank the other out of your pants as fast as you can.

           It’s sloppy and goofy and unbelievably, gut-punchingly hot, wrapping your bare thigh around Dean’s hips as he shove-slides inside you, his hand protecting your skull from getting rammed into the metal. “I love you I love you I love you” you’re humming into the crook of his neck and Dean kisses you again, slowing down.

           “I know, baby, I know,” he says, pace no longer frenzied but rhythmic and building.

           You press a palm to his chest and Dean pauses for a beat, stretch of him buried to the hilt so perfect it’s almost distracting but you still have to ask, “When am I going to s—”

           “Hopefully soon.”

           And then he’s gone.

Masterlist.

You love Mayans parties. You usually have a lot of fun with the guys drinking, dancing and playing pool. But today has been a long shift at the hospital, and the only thing you want to do is go home and sleep for an entire day. Much to your regret, there are other charters joining them because a deal they closed up, so as Angel's Old Lady you have to make an appearance. Sitting on your boyfriend's lap, feeling how heavy your eyelids are, you lean back against his chest, curling your legs over the sofa. His strong arms wrap your body, disconnecting from the world when he starts to caress your hair, once that your head is resting on his shoulder. You don't want to sleep or ask him to ride you home, but maybe you can close your eyes for a few minutes, until he gets bored of the party.

Yawning softly and tangling your fingers on his franel black shirt, you let yourself go after a short time hearing his happy voice and his laugh, talking with his brothers. Angel notices it when he's about to light up a cig, leaning his head by a side, watching you peacefully breathing. Snapping two fingers, he calls the attention of Coco, Gilly, Creeper and EZ, who stop the conversation to stare at you. Things like that melt Angel's heart, because even if you were too tired, you preferred to stay with him a little more, not caring about what someone could say because you're sleeping in the middle of a party. Stretching you under his arms, he leaves a kiss on your head with a goofy smile on his lips.

“Hey, EZ, why don' you go to my house and bring her some clothes?” He whispers then, trying to take off his keys without making any abrupt movement that could wake you up.

“What are you gonna do?”

“Take her to a dorm, sleep with her”. He replies back as if it wasn't obvious. “I'm not gonna let her sleep alone upstairs”.

Your boyfriend stands up over his boots carefully, strengthening you against his chest to start walking to the rooms in the clubhouse, passing away the elders men of his crew. All of them with the same sweet look on his faces, watching him carrying you just like a man in love would do. Bishop turns at Tranq and Taza, making a toast with their beers in silence, because they know how much Angel has changed since he met you.

When your boyfriend reaches his room, he doesn't turn on the lights, leaving you slowly over the mattress to close the windows and reduce the noise provoked by the loud music outside. Kneeling next to the bed, he takes off your sneakers and both socks, undoing the blankets to tuck you in. After this easy task, he gets undressed until staying only with his boxers, to lie down by your side and cover your bodies to cuddle you among his arms. You're asleep, but that doesn't mean that your anatomy responds to his contact, interlacing your fingers with his around your neck and your abdomen. No matter where you are, if Angel is there, you feel like being at home. Getting comfy against you and kissing your head one last time, he rests his over the pillow with his nose sinked in your hair, ready to fall asleep another night with you.

The sunbeams are starting to bother you, setted directly on your eyes. Growling in a soft snort, you turn under the heavy grip, feeling a little awake by the warm breath so close to your lips. By inertia, you kiss them with short and sleepy gestures, like every morning since eight months ago when you moved to Angel's house. Caressing his messy hair, you cuddle in his arms, slowly opening your eyelids. Rubbing your eyes with a hand, you raise up your head a little to focus your gaze and look around, discovering where you are. Your cheeks begin to burn slightly, remembering what happened last night.

“I didn' want'o wake you”. He whispers with a drowsy tone of voice, while you lie down again.

“Sorry, you were having fun… and I was too comfy”.

“Yeah, I felt that, reina”. He chuckles opening his eyes, to find you smirking at him. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yes”. You just nod, placing a hand on his neck, to caress it with your fingers. “You?”

“I can't sleep bad, having you here”.

“Aw… Look at you… From the ‘hey, baby, do you prefer to ride my bike or to ride me’, to the ‘I love to sleep together’”. You tease him, a second before he starts to make you tickles on both sides, squirming under his grip. “Stop! Angel, stop!”

You are laughing trying to free yourself, until he catches you harder, holding your chin with a hand to squeeze your cheek and purse your lips, kissing them once and again until you stop to move.

“That pretty ass needs romanticism sometimes”. He says with his mouth pressing yours, making you chuckle. “I'm gonna bring you breakfast here, what do you fancy, ah?”

“I got my breakfast here already.''

“Uh, look at you… Isn't too early to be this horny, mi dulce?” He mutters with his right hand touring your thigh under the dress.

“Yeah, I plead guilty, baby”. You gasp against his lips.

Up Late

Pairing: Angel Reyes x black!reader

Summary: Despite Angel’s orders you wait for him to come home

WC: 832

Warnings: None

A/N: This is my submission for @chaneajoyyy and @shaekingshitup quarantine writing challenge! I’m surprised that I got it under 1000!

Angel hung his head when he drove up and saw the light on. He told you not wait up for him, but here it is 3 in the morning and you’re still up.

Your head turned away from your laptop to the door when you heard Angel unlocking the door. When Angel’s eyes landed on you he shook his head in disappointment. In return you gave him a sheepish smile and shrugged your shoulders.

He took your coffee mug that undoubtedly was more creamer and sugar than actual coffee and set it on the table. He leaned down over you, hands on each side of the chair and kissed you all over your face while trying to admonish you. “Didn’t I tell you not to wait up?” He punctuated each word with a kiss.

Giggling, you cupped his chin to scratch his beard. “Yeah. Didn’t you also say to stop studying as well?”

Angel snuggled his face deep into your neck. “Oh, so you really wanna be in trouble?”

“Depends on what that trouble is?” You raised your eyebrow at him.

“No sex for a week kind of trouble.”

You rolled your eyes at him and waved him off. “Boy, please. You can’t even last two days without this punanny.”

Angel couldn’t keep the grin off his face. He knew you had him dead to rights. Wrapping his arms around you, he picked you up, took your seat and placed you in his lap. “Why are you up this late?” He asked, changing the subject.

“Can’t sleep. I started worrying about you and then I thought studying would stop it, but then I just started worrying about you and EZ and vet school.”

“Mi dulce, what did I say about worrying about me and EZ?”

“Not to,” you pouted.

“Then start doing it.”

“But I don’t trust Galindo!” Angel tried to interrupt you, but your words trampled over his. “He’s got y’all in his mess. And then Emily’s pasty ass thinks she can have her cake and eat it too by asking EZ to do her favors! I promise you if I wouldn’t get torture to death, I would’ve decked her ass already.”

Angel playfully bit your shoulder. “Don’t worry about club business or EZ, we got this. You just keep your head in them books, so I can call you Dr. Reyes.”

“Dr. Reyes?” You repeated. “You think imma put in all that time and hard work and not be called Dr. Y/L/N? Psst, you must be out your mind. Now being called Mrs. Reyes is a different thing.”

“Oh, you wanna my old lady?” Angel had a goofy grin on his face for two reasons. 1) he knew you hated the term old lady and 2) you wanted to be his wife.

You tapped his head lightly with your fist. “I said Mrs. Reyes not old lady!”

Angel laughed as he stood up. He was gonna carry you, but when he saw your pleading eyes he knew you wanted to be carried a different way. Turning his back to you, Angel told you, “Hop on.”

Excitedly, you jumped on his back, wrapping your legs around his waist and your arms around his neck, inhaling the scent of his leather kutte. “Hey, babe.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you think Bishop would let me in the club? That way I can have backup when I whoop Emily’s ass.”

“This again?” Angel scoffed at your determination to beat up his brother’s high school sweetheart. “You do know that EZ is older than you. You don’t have to put on this big sis routine”

“Actually, little sisters are the ones that gets shit done, old man. Anyway answer my question. I could see it now: me with my own kutte, riding a motorcycle looking all badass, and shooting guns. Pew, pew, pew.” You pretended to shoot a gun.

Angel set you on the bed and kissed your forehead. “I was gonna say yeah, but badass bikers don’t say pew, pew, pew and get piggyback rides from their boyfriends.” He began undressing as you got under the covers.

“Whatever, you just jealous because we both know I would move through the ranks fast.”

“Yeah, babe that’s why,” Angel lazily agreed with you as he got in the bed.

Neither of you had the energy for your nightly routine of sexing each other to sleep. Instead, you just held each other, limbs intertwined.

Angel had a little bit more energy than you, so he rubbed your back to make sure you fell asleep. He knew you were stressed out between worrying about him, EZ, school, and work.

“Angel,” you called out to him half asleep, your hand cradling his cheek.

“Yes, mi amor?”

“I can’t wait to be your old lady.”

You could feel Angel’s smile against your palm before he kissed it. “Me neither.” You heard before you went to dream about your future with Mr. Angel Reyes.

I don’t know a whole lot about the technical side of figure skating, usually I choose favorite skaters just on whose performances I enjoy the most, but I’m curious since a lot of people seem to really dislike her: what do you think of Evgenia Medvedeva? since you seem to know a lot and be very invested in the figure skating world, I’m interested to know your opinion

Oh wow. I am very honored to have someone want my opinion 👀

First of all I am by no means an expert on the technical sides of figure skating - still learning - but I give it a try and your observation is correct that I am very invested in this sport and I know how (shitty) the fandom can be. And to warn you you're in for a long read. 😅

I will give my opinion on both, the aspects of her skating and the person Evgenia Medvedeva. And on why I think ppl may dislike her/hate on her.

1. About Evgenia Medvedeva - the skater

I hope you understand at least the basic terms of the technical aspects in figure skating as I will refer to them a lot in this part.

Jumps - Zhenya is a better edge than toe jumper. Her 3Loop and her 3Salchow are one of the best in the field and imo extremely pretty. Her 2Axel is usually her biggest problem, she muscles the jump. Her toe jumps have issues too. Zhenya has a wrong edge on the Lutz, called a "Flutz", she is working on it but it's still the wrong edge. She mostly didn't get an edge call on it though by the judges. The other aspect ppl often talk about is the "prerotation" in her toe jumps, especially the Flip. She does prerotate more than some other skaters. She is often criticized for it. But to make it short imo the rules about prerotation are a bit blurry (at what point is prerotation normal and when is it excessive prerotation?) and in fact judges doesn't seem to penalize prerotation at all. Some fans like to nitpick on this matter a lot. For some it's almost some sort of crime. Let's just say it's not easy to fix it and I think Zhenya improved on this matter with time. I think Zhenya definitely has some issues on her toe jumps and Axel, but I don't think just because someone has a flawed technique the person is a bad skater. So there are things you can rightfully criticize but also things to love in her jumps like not only are Salchow and Loop beautiful, but also her leg extension on landing is good and she usually has good flow in her jumps. The Tanos (one arm over the head while jumping) aren't my cup of tea but they have a positive influence the GOEs.

Her Salchow:

Her Loop:

Spins - I think she has beautiful spins, but they are not the fastest. And I think her spins were better in the early senior years. The back that is bothering her is making the Bielmann spin not doable for her anymore, which is a shame.

Programs and performance - I think Zhenya does portray characters exceptionally well. Yes some ppl don't like the excessive pantomime in her earlier programs and I also think less is more, but she always captures the audience with her charm and personality on ice and her programs always have a concept she can bring across (even sometimes with questionable theme). She has some very beautiful programs, I recommend her "Anna Karenina" 2017-2018 program and her "Memoirs of a Geisha" 2019-2020 program. What stands out of Zhenya and also has been a reason she has earned high PCS - especially in her first senior years - is that her programs are full of difficult transitions between the elements. I don't want to pick all of the PCS categories apart, just that I think she is selling her skating exceptionally well. (She doesn't have thousands of fans for no reason. 😉)

Scoring - I think this is actually the main point why some skating fans didn't like her in the first place. She emerged to a scene with extremely high scores for being a first year senior, scores that matched past heroes of skating like Yuna Kim and Mao Asada. Even though Zhenya never skated against Yuna and shared only few competitions with Mao, ppl always referred to the old scores of them. (which were former world records) Zhenya's consistency made her get world record after world record and flaws in jumps have often been overlooked like not calling the Flutz and her PCS seemed super high in comparison to other skaters of the same level. Even though the scoring is hardly her fault, she got the flack for it and tbh the way she was scored was also turning me off for a while but Zhenya captured me with her performance. Her high scores also have some justification. Zhenya had the most difficulty in her programs in 2015-2017. She was the skater to start the trend to backload the jumps to the 2nd half to get the bonus points (rules have been changed after 2018 because of this). Her PCS being high can also be justified to some extent, like she does have a lot of transitions and her skating is clear (turns and steps are recognizable and mostly of high quality) etc. I still do think especially after her coaching change to Brian Orser that her scores have been worth a discussion and I think that in comparison her scores were too high, but I don't think there is any doubt that she deserved the world titles she got. (Just look at those comps and tell me who was better?) Also her consistency between 2015 and 2017 is unmatched and is admirable. I think Zhenya has been overscored in her career a lot, but not to the extent that made her "unrightfully" claiming the titles and again that's hardly her fault.

I actually like Zhenya's skating a lot. I wasn’t a fan the first time I saw her but she grew on me a lot, especially in the last two years. She can create magic. 😊

If you want to know more about Zhenya and the technical aspects of her skating you can go through the Evgenia Medvedeva tag on @the-real-xmonster (the blog is not active anymore but has tons of technical explanations)

About the person Evgenia Medvedeva

I personally admire Zhenya for her guts to keep competing in a country where a lot of ppl think she is "too old" for the sport. I also admired her for the coaching change to Brian to go a different way (I hate how she had to return to Eteri because of the pandemic). I like that she is speaking up towards online bullying she and others received. She keeps on sharing on Instagram though she has been harassed there a lot. I think in her interviews she is thoughtful (she is speaking her mind, which I like), but she can also be goofy and funny and her love for anime and being an "Otaku" is making her relatable.

Her Sailor Moon exhibition is such a fun program I can recommend to everyone.

(GIF by @the-real-xmonster)

About the "hate" towards Zhenya:

Some of the criticism Zhenya is receiving is understandable in my opinion. For example lately traveling during a pandemic to another country is something worth talking about or her mother letting a fan into TCC or some of the statements towards media can be criticised. But some "critic" is not criticism but hate for example when she changed to Brian Orser, calling her a traitor, badmouthing her for being ungrateful or being an attention seeker or making assumptions about her relationships with other skaters to the extent she deleted all the pictures with Yuzuru Hanyu from her Instagram etc. (especially when Eteribots or some Fanyus are involved things can turn ugly in the fandom) I also don't think ppl should put all some media is reporting as truth and stalking her Instagram backgrounds to see if she violated her quarantine is crossing personal boundaries. I think these are things that are not ok at all. (and to hate someone for their scores is really stupid imo)

However I think part of the problem why ppl dislike/hate her is her popularity (She has 700k followers on Instagram) . If she would be a no name skater her actions or scores wouldn't be discussed across the fandom. But actually most of the time you can follow the hate back to a few accounts...

Just to be clear it's totally fine to not get into Zhenya's skating, to point out flaws in scoring and in her technique, to not like some of her actions or criticize them, but I don't think it's fair to hate on her or make fun of her injuries or bad performances, she is human and deserves respect. The tone is important. Be kind and respectful! We don't know any of those skaters personally, so what does it cost to be a bit kind? Figure skating is a small fandom and believe me skaters see what ppl write. And it can hurt an actual human being. So please be considerate.

I am not sure if this is the kind of answer you were looking for anon, but here are some of my opinions on Zhenya 😊 You're welcome to ask more if something is unclear or you want to know something about another skater.

Three Months - Part 2

Title: Home Sweet Home

Pairing: Jensen x Reader

Word Count: 7043 (wow oops)

Warnings: Fluff, daddy ackles, swearing, angst, argument, mentions of weight loss, self harm and being used sexually, fingering, mentions of choking, rough sex, unprotected sex

Summary: A sixteen year old memory haunts [Y/N] and causes a disruption between the Ackles’ 

A/N: i deal with my issues by writing; hence this piece where jackles is calling me out because wow fuck i’m struggling with food rn. also i’ll be reblogging with tags later, still working on that shit lol  part 1 *all mistakes are mine*

The Ackles’ took advantage of their first childless morning in months by indulging in morning sex that wasn’t interrupted by kids, shower sex without locking the door and sex against the fridge while making breakfast, which almost ended in the full evacuation of the entire condo block. Their fingers interlocked as they sat at the breakfast bar, scraps of egg was all that remained on the plate from their much needed breakfast.

“Do you remember when everyday started with sex?” Jensen asked.

“You mean when I liked mornings?” [Y/N] unintentionally snorted.

“Oh so that’s why you’re a moody bitch in the mornings now?” His tone was light and cheeky as a devilish grin painted his face.

“Wow and you’re still a dick!” She shot back. Both adults wore goofy smiles as their chuckles filled the apartment.

Fresh air tumbled in through the open balcony door, constant sounds of the city trailing in too, reminding her she wasn’t at home. On edge by the reminder she observed Jensen to ground herself. His hair was longer than it’d ever been and when he dipped his head small pieces would slip across his forehead, every time she’d put her hand through his hair and kiss him sweetly. 

“You like the hair?” He asked brow softly cocked.

“It makes you look super soft.”

“You like that?” 

“Mmmhmm, but I’m glad that bushy beard is gone. I did not enjoy making out with your facial hair, not to mention the oral wasn’t fun at all.”

“I still made you cum though,” he reminded her.

“Okay, it wasn’t not not fun,” she grinned timidly. 

“We’ve got some time til the kids get here, I was thinking-”

“Jesus Jensen I honestly don’t think I can go again.”

“Is that all you think about Mrs Ackles?” He feigned disgust but only admiration showed in his eyes. “What I was thinking is, we could go meet some of the guys and gals,” his brows wiggled waiting for her answer.

“Oh no, I don’t think- we shouldn’t bother them on their day off,” [Y/N] replied as she hopped off the high barstool and headed for the bathroom.

“We won’t be bothering them at all,” he said following behind like a lost puppy. 

“I dunno,” she shrugged.

“Oh c’mon they’re excited to meet you.”

“I know but- I just got here,” [Y/N] said halting in the hallway to glance at him.

“You’re right, I’m sorry, that’s too much. How about I just text one of them?” Jensen suggested. 

“No, just leave it, I’ll meet them another time-”

“Karl’s always-”

Daddy Ackles To The Rescue

Title: Home Sweet Home

Pairing: Jensen x Reader

Word Count: 1358

Warnings: Fluff, daddy ackles, mentions of anxiety and panic attacks

Summary: [Y/N]s having a difficult time handling a morning in the Ackles household, but Jensen’s always there to help

A/N: just wrote this because feeling sensitive and needed some fluff and daddy ackles is my fave <3 ALSO by writing/posting this i’m gonna be so sharp for work, oops lol, another claim i need to put in against jensen😂

Mornings were always hectic in the Ackles household, two parents who hated mornings trying to feed and dress themselves, twin two year old rockets and a firecracker five year old, hectic didn’t even begin to cover it. With three young children the residence was rarely calm or quiet, and near impossible for the adults to have uninterrupted time together, let alone a short conversation, may that be ten at night or two in the morning.

A burning sensation ripped through [Y/N]s muscles flaring up newly discovered aches while her neck and shoulders took the full brunt of the brutal attack. The night had been rough and the parents sleep had been repeatedly disrupted as the twins had a restless night. Jelly legs barely supported [Y/N] as she stood at the kitchen counter surrounded by an array of food and kids as a vicious black cloud descended on her. A basic headache threatened to spill over into a migraine.

“But I don’t want that,” Jade stomped her feet on the tiled kitchen floor, her face twisted in an unhappy frown and arms folded across her chest. 

“You’re not getting three packets of Cheetos for your lunch,” [Y/N] fought to keep her tone soft when inside she was cussing to the heavens. Today was just one of those days where everything was overwhelming, Jade who’s typically great, was being bratty and grating at her moms already frayed nerves. 

“Mommy,” Finlay tugged at Jensens shirt that [Y/N] borrowed off the floor that morning, she was rushed back to memories of a few hours prior, in bed with Jensen, naked, his lips tickled her neck while his hand danced down her body, then the kids barged in. “Mommmmmy!” Finlay said louder yanking her away from the blissful moment and launching her back to reality. 

God give me strength she prayed silently. “Baby shark gimmie a minute buddy, I’m making Jades lunch.”

“But mommy,” Finlay whined at a frequency that pierced through her skull.

“I’m not taking lunch,” Jade huffed and puffed like the wolf from Three Little Pigs. 

“Fine then don’t,” [Y/N] sighed heavily as her tired watery eyes searched for her husband. “Jensen!” She called desperate for a quiet moment to escape the rising panic bubbling in her chest.

“Mommy-”

“Finlay what is it?” It took all her might to not shriek at him, however her tone was too sharp as anxiety and resentment spread like wildfire through her veins. “Jensen!” She shouted again as Jade continued to ramble on.

“Up,” Finlay said raising his arms.

“I can’t right now, we need to get Jade to school baby.” As if she had taken his favourite toy away Finlay burst into tears and wailed at ear piercing levels that penetrated her eardrums. “JENSEN!” [Y/N] cried over her toddler and five year old daughter.

Jensen dashed into the room almost immediately with Roe facing the floor in his arms pretending she was a plane, her light brown pigtails bounced and a giggle burst from her mouth as she clutched her dads arm.

“What’s going on?” His deeper daddy tone grabbed everyones attention, even Roes. 

A moment of silence surrounded [Y/N], she inhaled deeply and took a second to catch the sobs in her throat before saying “Please just-” her brows knotted creating deep grooves in her skin. She looked at her husband pathetically, “help.”

“Jade go get your shoes-” Jensen organised. 

“But da-”

“I’ll take you to school in Baby if you hurry.”

Jades eyes widened, she glared at Jensen then to [Y/N] to find out if that could happen, [Y/N] nodded gently and Jade bolted to find her shoes. Jensen crossed the room in a totally normal way that had his agitated wife crunching her own lip and clenching her thighs together. His broad rounded shoulders and firm biceps advanced closer and her breath hitched when he stood mere inches from her, Roe reaching out to clip her moms nose between soft baby fingers. Finlay insisted on grabbing at the shirt and moaning but [Y/N] was encapsulated by Jensens sprinkling of freckles and glowing green eyes, his presence alone calmed her nerves, each step closer his warmth cradled her. Dipping down he bumped his forehead against hers.

“You okay?” He asked with soft eyes.

“No,” she replied sharply. “Jade is being a brat, Fin won’t leave me alone and he needs changed again, I haven’t showered yet and I’ve gotta do laundry, clean the car, I need to go shopping and, and-” her teeth rutted together, “I’m fucking frustrated!” She clearly was on edge as she usually avoided swearing in front of the kids.

“Well, I’ve already dealt with Jade.” He smirked proudly. “I’ll change Fin, then I’ll take the twins to drop Jade off at school so you can catch a breather, and once I’m home I’ll help fix your frustration issue.”

Feels Like The First Time

Title: Home Sweet Home

Pairing: Jensen x Reader

Word Count: 2256

Warnings: Swearing, dry humping

Summary: [Y/N] enjoys an experience for the first time with Jensen

A/N: this was great to write because it was from memory, sadly not with jensen, excuse me while i go cry like a little baby because i want him so bad :)  |  gif credit

His massive hands crept under her shirt consuming her waist and electrifying her skin, he pathetically whined like an injured pup when his fingers met the waistband of her jeans. It sat low and exposed the small dips either side of her spine, his fingers plunged into the little dimples driving him wild and forcing him to shove down an eager moan.

His neck gave out for a second as his crotch demanded all the blood pumping around his body, his throbbing hard on was confined painfully under the restriction of boxers and jeans. Her hands tugged at his hair and nails scraping his scalp eliciting moans between his lips as bolts of desire surged though his veins making his heart beat faster and head feel lighter. Their tongues twisted and their crotches clashed as they exchanged moans and groans into each others mouths.

A potent aroma of fresh linen commandeered his trailer, it was like being in a bubble of puffy clouds and baby powder. His back crashed against the cushion on the sofa as she sat legs split on his lap. They were both fully clothed, but this was the first time she'd felt him entirely erect, this was the most they'd had of each other, this was the closest they'd ever been. A slimy stroke of guilt slipped down Jensens throat threatening to separate them, but instinct forced him to hold her tighter as if she'd turn to sand in his arms. He wanted her. He needed her. She was the one, he was sure of it.

A sickening ache latched onto [Y/N]s chest inexplicably crushing her ribs and caging her lungs against the wall of bones. She wanted to leap off him, burst out of his trailer and never look back, but she couldn't. He was magnificent in every way, unlike any guy she'd ever met, he astounded her, rocked her world every time he was near. She wanted to stop, she wanted to abandon the freckled cutie, but he was glorious and set her alight in ways she’d never known. He drew out emotions she hadn’t felt in ages, plus a whole range of new things too, like sheer pleasure and true happiness.

His touch was astonishingly enchanting, his natural scent mixed with the particular cologne he wore always tickled her core, the vibration of his voice rippled over her skin leaving goosebumps in its wake, the bass soothed her soul, the taste of his salty skin and his pure beauty was enthralling, dragging her into a whirlwind of things she didn’t want to face, but also wanted to be smothered by. He was intoxicating and addictive and she couldn’t get enough of his blazing eyes that made her weak at the knees, captivating her in sea of jade and submersing her spirit under a green wave of submission. She would do anything he asked, of that she was sure.

Yeah a bit of grinding was normal, but they were straight up making out and fucking with their clothes on as if it was their first sexual experience. His nerves rattled like it was his first time, he wasn’t sure how far he could go, he didn’t know where they stood, what they were. His hands ached to cup and grope her chest, but he kept his palms in her hair and on her waist. He wanted to strip her naked and kiss every inch of her pale skin to appreciate every little thing about her, he wanted to sink his fingers deep into her warm core and then eventually his complete length, but he held back. Up until this moment he was the one to take the lead, even though he shouldn’t be perusing her, or anyone else, but she hypnotised him in an unquenchable hunger that he had to sedate.

She purposefully angled her hips to brush her taught clit against his stone column creating a tiny ripple of pleasure that expanded from her sweet spot that made her moan into his mouth. Jensen was rock hard and remarkably imposing, a single stroke of fear zapped through her nerves. She’d never cared for size and at five foot one she didn’t really need a significant amount, but the thought of him destroying her with his impressive length sent a bolt zigzagging between her thighs. A muted scream of arousal overpowered her brain, she’d never been this turned on with another person before. He triggered something deep inside of her, a ravenous dehydrated beast, only known to her, was reanimated with a drip of his charming Texan ass. His voice, eyes, lips and fingers brought her to life, he could probably resurrect her from the afterlife too.

Cunt throbbing and dick pulsing, their heads, lips and tongues turned, twisted, rolled, licked and lapped. Jensen firmly raised his crotch into hers, supporting her waist he helped her slide across his length. A nauseating surge of ultimate pleasure capsized [Y/N]. As if her lungs had turned to dust and her throat was stuffed with a rag she tore her lips from his, unable to catch a breath. Her pitiful whimpers consumed the trailer as she tucked her head into the crook of his neck and gasped for air. Hiding from his gaze she was dragged down by shame, a thundering roar of desire silenced her inner voice. Rocking her hips violently she moaned against his throat, her fingernails devouring his shoulders. “Oh fuck- fuck.” Astounded by how close she was to hitting an excruciating climax, after only ten minutes of dry humping, she was hauled into a tornado of questions; Was she really that close? Was this actually happening? Was she really gonna experience this blissful intimacy with him? He was the one.

Losing control of her rigid anxiety ridden self in front of someone was her worst fear, to be so vulnerable and exposed to another human being created a pit so deep in her stomach the final destination was hell, but with him, it didn’t bury down, it floated up. This road with him wouldn’t take her to hell, it’d take her to heaven. Standing up to her thoughts with strength in her heart she blew them away like dust on a shelf. “Oh god, fuck-” she gasped as he slashed at her sturdy walls, his claws sinking into her muscles and piercing her soul. “I’m gonna cum-” she said more so as a question than an announcement. Her mind screeched at her to seize the bucking of her hips, how pathetic must she seem getting off on just grinding against him, but she didn’t have the willpower, she shoved her humiliation deep down and rode him full force, surrendering fully to this moment and opening herself to him like she’d never done before.

Her raw clit crashed against his granite dick catapulting her into territory only she’d explored, up until now. Her moans and death grip shoved him closer to the edge, she was breathy and reeling, the coil wound so tight to the point of pain, any second now it would snap and seduce her off the cliff. His balls tightened and dick twitched at the thought of how wet she was, how close she was and he hadn’t even touched her.

“Fuck,” she gasped. Unrestrained by her thoughts and her only mission to reach the maximum release, [Y/N] lifted her legs slightly allowing most of her weight to be centred on her swollen bud. “Shit, that’s it, fuck, right there,” she growled at the ceiling. Her arms grasped him as if she was out in the open water and he was her only life line. This could only end in one way and a titanic wave was coming after her. “Fuckfuckfuckfuck-”

Her face was flush against his, her lips scraping across his jaw, one hand cradling the back of his neck, the other clutching his shoulder. The moment was here, the point of no return, the durable threading of her coil gave out, ripped apart, tore in two and completely disintegrated as she was shattered into a million pieces and the deepest darkest parts of her were revealed. 

She had come before, but not like this. She’d never seen a glimpse of heaven, but Jensen was giving her the most intimate tour of paradise right now. The golden light from the angles blinded her, sending her free falling from the almighty homeland. Her entire body spasmed, crotch now pressed against his stomach as she tried to keep her head above the orgasm that threatened to drown her.

The pathetic whimpers that fell from her mouth annihilated his will power as she turned into a wreak in his arms. Her post orgasm jerks and twitches triggered his spectacular ending, just before exploding, his entire body stiffened and for the blink of an eye he was frozen in time. Immediately followed by a thundering moan that shook the trailer as he came. A small amount of his load spurted onto his stomach, the red t-shirt he wore gaining a darkened patch where the material soaked up his seed.

Enjoying the tail end of an incredible climax [Y/N] rolled her delighted entrance against his stomach a few more times as her yes’ become softer. Jensens arms crushed her ribs and his hands tangled in her hair as he matched her pace with a mellow rocking of his hips as they tumbled down the divine path of gratification hand in hand. Her arms hung loose around his neck, beads of sweat dripped down her back, her chest was heaving, heart hammering and head pulverised rendering her unable to move and do nothing but pant and whine into the crook of his neck.

“Fuck I- I can’t- that just happened,” [Y/N] said breathless and docile.

“Same, I haven’t cum from grinding since I was like- twenty.”

“No I- fuck, it happened so fast.”

“I promise I can last longer than that,” he said lightheartedly.

“I need a minute,” she clutched her forehead sweeping away baby hairs that clung to the sweat around her hairline. It was clear to him she was wiped out and unable to manoeuvre so he barely picked her up, rotated around and released her onto the sofa.

“I’m gonna go and, uh, deal with this mess and change,” he mumbled shyly. She barely waved him away with her hand on her chest and lips curled into the shape of an ‘o’.

By the time Jensen had cleaned himself up, changed and returned to the sofa [Y/N] was aware and alert. “Are you ready to go home?”

“Yeah,” she smiled softly.

Not National Treasure Again

Pairing: Dean x Reader

Word Count: 1070

Warnings: Fluff, little tiny bit of angst, almost kiss

Summary: Dean comforts [Y/N] while she’s emotional and suffering stomach cramps

A/N: feeling meh, started my period and dying of cramps, wrote this to comfort myself lol - PART 2

Despite the bunker being underground and having no windows to allow sunlight to radiate around the rooms, it never seemed depressing or confining. Quite the opposite actually, it was comforting and warming. Well usually, but not today. Somehow every single light and lamp had dimmed throughout the bunker, the shadows swallowed most of the rooms and hallways in a gloomy atmosphere and a lingering presence of sadness painted the walls and creeped around the corners just waiting to attack.

[Y/N] clutched the pillow as if it was an enemy she was trying to suffocate. The excruciating pain crippled her petite frame, knotted her insides, numbed her lower-back, abdomen and thighs. She grunted into the pillow and held back sobs of anguish as she lay all alone in the dimly lit bedroom cursing a god she didn’t believe in. A grumble of disgust rumbled from her stomach when there was a soft knock on the door.

“Hey [Y/N] you in there?”

“What is it Dean?” She said with an unintentional hiss.

“Can I come in?”

“Fine,” she huffed knowing he wouldn’t leave her alone until he’d seen her.

The door opened half way and Dean popped his head in, his eyes finding her curled up on the bed. “I haven’t seen you in a couple of days and we live together,” a light chuckle graced her ears. “Just checking in, making sure you’re still alive.”

“Yup fucking brilliant,” she said bluntly. Her face scrunched as a wave of pain hit her, an ugly growl burst from her mouth which she buried into the pillow that was now a victim of assault, potentially murder in the near future.

“Oh,” Dean muttered. Now her absence and sharpness made sense. “Do you need anything?”

“No I’m fine.”

“Okay, I’ll ah, just go, leave you be then.”

“Hey Dean,” [Y/N] said before he left, “thanks.” The corner of his mouth turned up in a soft smile and with a silent nod he was gone.

Britta Was Never Ruined, Actually

Unpopular opinion, apparently: Season 1 Britta, particularly the Pilot and the front 13 episodes Britta, was dreadfully boring and a sore thumb in the cast. Where everyone had a neurosis or flaw to the point of comedy, Britta was a boring straight man with no funny bone to pick on. Jeff was a borderline villain who needs to be taught that his lawyer crap won’t fly in Greendale; Annie was hyper antagonistic and insecure; Abed has trouble relating to people outside of media; Shirley had intense anger issues; Pierce was a perverted bigoted old man; Troy was a hyper-masculine jock; and Britta... smoked, I guess. 

I shake my head every time people state that Britta was ruined specifically because the perfect, boring persona she had in the beginning wasn’t genuine.  Especially silly when people blame it on Harmon hating women (there are things to criticize about Community’s female characters but “them being funny” is not one of them) when Britta’s own actress Gillian Jacobs suggested that she gets more silly and goofy since that’s actually funny and also works to the actress’ talents. It’s exactly like Sweet Dee in *It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia*. Boring as sin in Season 1 until the actress told the writers to let her be as awful as the rest of the cast. A comedy about non-functional at best, awful at worst people and you want a character who is just unironically better than everyone?  

We wouldn’t have her speech in “The Science of Illusion” or her moments in episodes like “Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking” if she was the same character she was in the pilot. And as much as people criticize the latter seasons for her “decline”, it was evident as early as Season 1. Why would Pilot episode “I have douche-vision” Britta announce to the campus that she loves Jeff Winger, and then subsequently use her newfound status as the People’s Champion to get some positive female attention in her life, then get into a spat with Jeff that eventually evolves into a friends-with-benefits situation? 

In an esoteric comedy like Community, Britta’s pilot personality did not work in the slightest and it’s not surprising that she was changed. Granted, yes, there were times where they did absolutely shit on her character entirely (remember when she shit herself?) and finding the best version of Britta is less pinning down a season and more finding the odd spikes where the writers gave a damn. For all the shit Season 4 rightfully gets, I think “Herstory of Dance” is perfect Britta: genuine interest and desire to help people, but a fundamental inability to do it right. She tries, and fails, but she *tries*. She makes a really stupid mistake but it’s out of genuine interest. The episode even explicitly calls out Jeff for using her name as an insult. We get goofy Britta humor but also character development and a sense that *despite her flaws*, the group loves her, and that’s more rewarding than if she never at a point to be disliked ever.

Judging by how this site criticizes the show, the “ideal” Britta apparently would be a woman who is always smart and right, never fails when it matters, and is beloved by everyone. Unless you are really eager for a role-model to attach to, this isn’t actually a good character. No character in the show is like this.

And I’ll be honest, it seems that people project onto the fact that Britta is characterized as a white feminist and, despite the fact that 95% of the time, when Community makes fun of her feminist values it’s not because “haha feminism”, but “haha Britta’s a hypocrite and ineffectual”, they seem to take making fun of Britta as Dan Harmon’s personal hatred towards women and feminism. 

In “Spanish 101″, the show never made fun of the idea of a protest and even defended Annie and Shirley’s idea of protesting. Britta says shit like “I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty.” In “Bondage and Beta Male Sexuality”, her activist former friends are portrayed as both right in that they are doing more than Britta ever did but also colossal assholes and belitting her and making her feel like shit for her lot in life. The joke’s not on feminism, it’s on Britta, who is a bad feminist but still a feminist. If the show was made today, exactly the same, it would most definitely be seen as a critique towards white feminism.

Community later introduced a “straight-man” character who actually does fit with the show; and now I’ll talk about how perfect Frankie is in every way, without being perfect in the slightest. She’s a straight man in a way that works; her grounded personality isn’t her being a buzzkill but a new way to navigate Greendale’s insanity. She wants to make money for the school so she wheels in prisoners on tablets and fawns over a murderer. Even when she’s actively against the group’s interest to be silly, they sacrifice potential comedy for actual character development, like in “Modern Espionage” where her desire to stop paintball absolutely makes sense and the characters come to realize that. Also, her making the Committee dress like toddlers to prove a point is one of the best tags. She knows how the characters tic and play off them but it’s not to shut them down, it’s to make the best of them, and in turn her.

None of that is what Britta offered in Season 1. She *was* a buzzkill. She *was* boring. And she got better. Did the writers go too far at times? Yeah. Was it overall a net positive? Absolutely? Britta is one of my favorite

starker reclist - AUs

Hey guys! Welcome to the second part of my personal Starker reclist, dedicated to AUs. Last week I posted my canon-based recs, you can find them here.

I tried to incorporate as many tropes as I could, hoping everyone will find something special within their interests. There are a few a/b/o and underage fics, all properly tagged in case anyone wishes to avoid them. I also tried to highlight soulmate AUs because I reckon it’s a somewhat popular trope. Enjoy! ❤️

Last updated: April 25th, 2020. All new fics added will be marked with ***

• 007 AU by @darker-soft-starker (T, 4k, completed)

Summary: Undercover and bored at an art auction, Tony finds entertainment in Peter Parker.

Review: Look, I’m a simple woman. Daniel Craig has owned my ass ever since Casino Royale and I was reading 00Q and Hartwin before I even shipped Starker. Point is, I like spy movies, ok?! So naturally I couldn’t leave this fic out of my reclist. I you need further incentive, consider this quote: “What, a little late night espionage not romantic enough for you?” Peter retorts, whipping a pistol out from his jacket and aiming it at Tony’s chest.

• 3 Times I Told You I Loved You & 1 Time You Said It Back by @starkeristheendgame (E) background Peter/Steve, Peter/Bucky, Peter/Scott

Summary: Peter Parker confesses his love to Tony Stark three times. Once at ten, once at fifteen and once at twenty. Finally convinced that Tony will never love him back, Peter ventures out into a different path, desperate to find the love he seeks from someone else. But you know what they say about star-crossed lovers.

Review: This lovely fic holds a very special place in my heart. I’m so invested I decided to wait until it’s finished so I can read it all in one sitting. Peter’s longing and heartbreak hurt my poor soul but I trust Jensen to give me that promised Starker endgame - I know it will be glorious when it finally comes.

• A Night on the Town by @scarletmanuka1 (G, 2.3k, completed)

Summary: Nightclub AU. Years after the events of Endgame, Tony has hit rock bottom. The Snap left him crippled, Pepper has abandoned him and has taken Morgan with her, and he's feeling old and lonely. Peter arranges a night out at the nightclub that he works at to try and cheer Tony up.

Review: I love get together fics, especially if it involves oblivious!Tony getting his shit together and going after his man. Seeing him bitter and broken after Thanos was hard, but special kudos to IronBros moments because that friendship is true goals!

• Age of Adeline by @starkerforlife6969 (completed) background Harley/Peter, Bucky/Peter, Wade/Peter

Review: I’d never in a million years think about this movie as a Starker AU but gosh, this is everything I needed in my life and it completely devastated me but I loved every minute of it. As a devoted monoshipper, I was surprised to realize that I got emotionally involved with all pairings, even more so with Starker, which totally paid off. Gorgeous, powerful and heartfelt. God bless SFL.

• assume makes ass for u and me by @pretty-well-funded (M, 1.6k, completed) tw underage

Summary: In Tony’s defense, he was sure the kid was a rent boy.

Review: This 1.6k fic caught me completely off guard and now I’m crying because I need MORE. I love the premise, the dialogue is criminally good, their voices are amazing and I can’t get enough of cheeky!Peter charming Tony with his wit and filthy mind.  

• Bamf!secretary Peter by @starkerforlife6969 (M, completed)

Review: Who could ever resist some corporate espionage drama with bamf!Peter leaving Tony speechless and horny? Not me. I’d read more 30k of this verse because competent, sassy Peter Parker is such a kink, omg.

• Biker!Tony by @starkerforlife6969 (T, completed) Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Review: Same age AUs are not usually my thing but I can’t resist cute high school sweethearts written by this fandom goddess. Plus, protective!Tony calling Peter “doll” does things to my heart - and Peter’s.

• Breaking Character by @cagestark (E, 8.3k, completed)

Summary: Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and spy for SHIELD. Working with another SHIELD spy, the infamous Spider, he will take down an infamous human trafficking ring in New York. But the act they have to put on will demand more from Tony than he ever thought he'd have to give. Not that he minds.

Review: The spy trope seriously needs more fic like this one, because I’ll have bamf!Peter lying back to save his country while Tony freaks out any day. Cage hits the perfect balance between plot building, fantastic sexual tension, clever dialogue and the hottest smut sequence. What a ride! (Pun intended).  

• Curiosity Killed the Cat by @areluctantsblog (T, 1.5k, completed)

Summary: Peter has been modelling in an art school for years. He's used to strangers' eyes roaming his body - clothed or naked - and he knows that it's not him they are looking at. Not him who they are interested in. He's just a model, a tool for their work. And for a long time he doesn't notice the one pair of eyes that, despite seeing him but rarely, is looking right at him.

Review: Very soft and atmospheric, this fic left me in a bit of a daze and it took me a while to realize it was over. Great writing will do that to you.

• Detective!Tony, Graffiti Artist!Peter by @starkerforlife6969 (M, completed)

Review: Oh don’t mind me, just appreciating this author’s talent at writing from the filthiest smut to the softest “Tony saves Peter in all ways that matter” like this ficlet. We stan.

• Eat at Pete’s by feyrelay + glorious art by @peachbabypie (E)

Summary: Peter gives him an unimpressed look, “If you didn’t do your work, then you wouldn’t be able to earn my time though, would you?” Pfft. “Kid, I have more money than god. I can splurge on your delicious pancakes and attention, trust me,” Tony informs him loftily. Peter smiles that wicked, crooked little smile that's just for him. It's not even and perfect like his the-customer-is-always-right one that's more frequently on offer. “I didn’t say you couldn’t afford it. I said you wouldn’t have earned it.”

Review: How can we ever say no to dom!Peter putting Tony in his place and hopefully on his dick + Tony loving every second of it?? Their dynamics are fantastic and that TASTY COUNTER DIALOGUE KILLS ME. EVERY TIME. Check it out and come scream with me: sub!Tony rights :D

• Fire and Ice by LeafyGreenQueen773 (M, 3k, completed) Soulmate AU

Summary: AU where when someone writes on his or her skin, the same thing shows up on their soulmate in the same place as a Mark that fades away in a few hours.

Review: This was the first Starker soulmate fic I’ve read and it made my heart ache so soft and good. Lovely and bittersweet, quiet and painfully honest. 

• Genius, Acrobat, Playboy, Philanthropist by @scarletmanuka1 (E, 28k, completed)

Summary: After Peter's aeriel acrobatics partner, Adrian Toomes is fired from The Avengers Circus Troupe for theft, he is shocked to discover that his replacement is non other than legendary performer, Tony Stark - the man that Peter had hero worshipped since he first learned how to tumble. 

Review: After reading this fic I realized I need more Circus AUs in my life. I could read jealous idiots falling in love while doing beautiful acrobatics for the rest of my days. Original plot, nice character development and I really appreciated how the author inserted little canon things here and there. 

• Happy to Disappoint by @deaded-blush (M, 60k, completed) tw underage, domestic violence

Summary: Adrian Toomes is in quite deep with notorious mob boss Tony Stark. But when Tony comes to collect the debt owed, he's surprised to discover Toomes has an adoptive son. The chance meeting changes the direction of both their lives...

Review: Hands down one of the best Mafia!AUs I’ve ever seen. Read it all in one sitting and by the end I was SHOOKETH and utterly obsessed with this story. Nothing about it is okay so brace yourself for whump!Peter and lots of h/c. Bonus points for an incredibly satisfying ending that will make you gasp out loud.

• Hey Baby, Slip between my Beta-Pleats and get to know my Alpha-Helix? by @starkerforlife6969 and @darker-soft-starker (E, 37k, completed) A/B/O

Summary: Even though Tony can't tell the difference between Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo, Peter really has no other choice. His heat is around the corner, so even though he loathes the party-going, booze drinking, smug playboy know-it-all that is Tony Stark. He'll just have to do.       

Review: I can’t believe life went on as we know it (or did it??) after these two geniuses wrote together. This is the Starker version of “enemies to lovers” we all wanted and deserve, where spoiled-bratty-posh princess Peter finds the perfect balance for his chaotic energy in goofy-unapologetic-charming playboy Tony. Their falling in love is just so tender, so genuine and so good, it’s impossible not to cheer for these two sweethearts through this delightful, carefully crafted story.

• If you let me by @css1992 (E, 12k, completed)

Summary: Peter had tried dating younger guys, but it just didn’t do it for him. They were often too eager, too fast, too rough. Just too young, in general. Not that older men couldn’t be too much, too, Peter learned it the hard way. The man looking back at him from across the room seemed like a good one. He knew he shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but he was gorgeous. Possibly the most handsome man Peter had ever seen in his short life.

Review: I remember the first time I read this fic it hit me in such a powerful way I cried a bit and was too overwhelmed to do words and tell the author just how much I loved it. But I never forgot this fic or the way it made me feel. It’s so evocative, so sexy, so raw, so heartbreaking, so sweet and so gentle. Great atmosphere, even greater characterization and some of the hottest smut I’ve ever read. Treat yourself and check this out right now.    

• I’ll be Home by @starkerforlife6969 (M, completed) A/B/O

Summary: The story starts when Soldier Tony comes home for a few days, and is introduced to the love of his life.

Review: Will I ever stop reccing SFL’s works? Maybe, but today is not the day. This gorgeous, breathtaking fic attacked me in my own house during Christmas day and made me cry like a baby. I’m a sucker for reunion stories - the longing, the heartbreak, the power of endurance. This fic reminded me that no matter how long or difficult the journey, love will always find a way.

• Little Spider by @stfustucky (iwillpaintasongforlou) (E, 5k, completed)

Summary: Peter Parker is one of the country's best hitmen, known in the underworld as the Little Spider. He spends his days in the lap of luxury with his billionaire fiance Tony Stark, and his nights doing dirty work for various shady characters. Life is good, right up until someone puts out a hit on Tony and wants Peter to pull the trigger. It... might be time for them to have a talk.

Review: Omg this fic was so deliciously good in a totally surprising and sexy way. Bamf!Peter took my breath away with the perfect balance between his two personas. Tony getting off on that sheer power and confidence is a BIG MOOD and my second favorite thing in this fic. The first being the badass power couple they make. 

• love somebody like you (E) by @intoxicatelou

Summary: five times Tony was Peter’s roommate and one time he was his soulmate instead.

Review: Who doesn’t love some forced proximity mixed with the unbeatable soulmate trope? This plot is the hottest take and my heart cannot handle young!Tony with his brilliant mind and sassy charm protecting and flirting with Peter, unfff feels everywhere *cries in Starker*

• Love Thy Neighbour by @darker-soft-starker (T, 2.3k, completed)

Summary: Tony's new neighbour is kinda weird.

Review: I know I keep saying that same age!AUs are not really my thing but I’m the softest bitch for feel-good, cozy domesticity, and I love how this charming story shows that ordinary life become magical when shared with someone special. I could babble all night about how eccentric and confident Peter seduces our man of science that for once has absolutely no idea of what’s going on - but you really should see it for yourself right now :)

• Mafia Boss!Tony Break Up Make Up by @starkerforlife6969 (E, completed)

Review: Man, this fic was so rude to my heart. The heartbreak, the rough sex, the guilt, the hopeful make up, the gorgeous ending. My body literally cannot take the stress, why are Mafia AUs so doomed and beautiful and more importantly, why is SFL so good at writing them???

• Microcosm Series by @bloomblood (M, 32k) tw underage

Summary: Tony and Peter become each other’s heroes after the Snap, saving themselves before they offer aid back to the world.

Review: I haven’t read many post-apocalyptic fics but this series’s raw atmosphere sucked me in. I adore the quiet intimacy, the slow and tentative healing, and all the silent and complex emotions underneath apparent simplicity. Big aesthetic mood, just as its lovely author. 

• Musechaser by @nightskygardenia (M, 10.5k, completed)

Summary: Eighteen year old art student Peter Parker is desperately searching for his muse, someone who can bring his creative skills to the next level through inspiration. Lucky for him, his next class just so happens to feature a gorgeous model by the name of Tony Stark, a man Peter's convinced is his muse, to the point of staying after class to ask for private modeling sessions.

Review: Another big aesthetic mood, this fic paints a gorgeous imagery. I love the setting, the slow pace and the building anticipation until the sexual tension finally breaks. Peter is adorable and Tony exudes confidence; their voices are spot on and their chemistry is palpable and intense.  

• My Best Friend’s Dad by @darker-soft-starker (M, 17.6k, completed)

Summary: Peter is home for the summer, back from his first year away at college. Having stayed over at Harley's house every weekend since they were fourteen, he never used to think much of his friend’s dad. A few years worth of college experience has Peter noticing Tony in a different way. This time, Tony notices him back.

Review: Turns out that Tony Stark being a dad and a daddy is too much for my body. I worship this fic. I wanna get married to it and have its babies. No words will ever make it justice *sobs* no but seriously, secret relationship is a perfect Starker trope and this one will take you to the edge of your seat until the very end. A+ characterization, lovely build up, infuriating cliffhangers and the wholesome happy ending we all deserve. This is the kind of fic that leaves you a bit depressed once it’s over, because you suddenly realize you’ll never read it for the first time ever again. So get to it and make sure to enjoy every second!

• One Call Away by @readysetstarker (E)

Summary: Tony didn’t need the phone sex gig. He was more than well off, his own sex life was in great shape, but damn, there was just something about listening to someone else get off to his voice. 

Review: Omg who could ever resist sex hotline + daddy kink + identity porn? Dev is coming after our own hearts and bodies with this hot combo. I love the balance between their cute chemistry and the hot phone sex, plus the identity porn is deliciously fun. I was so happy to know this fic is getting longer than the author had previously anticipated because I’m definitely not ready to let it go.

• Open Road by @starkerflowers (E, 2.5k, completed)

Summary: It’s not love, but it’s good. TW: implied abuse (not between Tony/Peter); bruises/violence; panic attack. 

Review: This refreshing not-quite-a-love-story will capture your heart, make it hurt, make it ache, make it hope and finally, make it heal. This fic is so gorgeously written I honestly cannot rec it enough. Yes, it’s dark and angsty, but it’s also gentle, hopeful and deeply evocative.  

• Panty Raid by @starkerforlife6969 (M, completed) A/B/O

Summary:  Imagine Tony being forced to do a panty raid as an initiation for his fraternity. So Tony, keeping up his playboy appearances, sneaks into the omega dorms. And he sees sweet innocent Peter who is so alarmed by the alphas raiding their dorm Tony can’t help but comfort him.

Review: Unf this fic is just too charming and cute, my heart cannot take it. Frat stories are so fun they make me forget my preference for age gaps and realize I could read more 50k of protective young!Tony any day, please and thank

• Pete’s Eats by @darker-soft-starker (T, 9.3k, completed)

Summary: Peter has a YouTube channel where he just drinks wine and teaches people how to cook things if they live in a mediocre apartment. While cooking and drinking he just talks about stuff like memes and school and, most importantly, his undying thirst for Tony Stark.

Review: This is legit the funniest shit I’ve ever read, everybody else can go home. I was already sold on Peter being a relatable thirsty dork, but Tony’s A+++ characterization (for a moment I thought it was RDJ on the big screen) and the identity porn side trope killed me for good. And what a way to go. I’m an angst hoe but I could read this forever and would be okay with it. 

• pondus, pondera by spqr (M, 9.3k, completed) underage prostitution but not between P/T

Summary: Peter sells his virginity for $5,000 when he’s fifteen.

Review: Ugh I’m so weak for the angsty hooker trope, I just love the potential to simultaneously explore whump, mutual pining and gentle recovery. Trust spqr to deliver it all with a carefully crafted slow burn, god-tier characterization and a heartfelt and satisfying get together. This fic is a gem.

• Powerful by @cagestark (E, 4.6k, completed) SIM!Tony

Summary: After finding out about Peter's abusive ex, Tony privately vows revenge.

Review: This fic took my breath away and made me realize that dark!Tony with a soft spot for Peter is everything I need in my life. Precious Peter being empowered by a viciously protective Tony is now my absolute jam, and it was fascinating to see see their dynamics mutually feeding each other’s nature. This fic is gorgeous, sexy and liberating. 

***Red Light District series by @starker-stories (17k, ongoing)

Summary: Everyone knows that Tony Stark is a playboy who has dozens of women passing through his life and through his bed. What everyone doesn't know is that Tony Stark is deeply closeted, longing for something he can't ever have -- a life and a love with another man.

Review: I’m completely in love with this series and not only because it explores the good old hooker trope which I’m very partial to. It’s so well written and atmospheric, if a tad bittersweet and heart-wrenching. Great narrative tension, Tony and Peter’s chemistry is insane, their voices and dialogue are amazing and the smut is looong and scorching hot *chef’s kiss* 

• Samadhi by @starkercrossedlovers (E, completed)

Summay: Tony goes to yoga to try and deal with his anxiety and ends up falling for the instructor, one Peter Parker.

Review: Okay so yoga fics are among my guilty pleasures and I can’t get enough of feel-good fics like this one. Peter’s such a sweetheart, so thoughtful and amazing with Tony. I love it when they take care of each other and find solace together, this fic made me soft :’)

• Single dad baker!Peter and lawyer!Tony by @starkerforlife6969 (G, completed)

Review: I’m not usually a fluff girl but this fic is just too wholesome to go by unnoticed. Nothing hits my soft side harder than a cynical character reaching that turning point that makes them start to believe in love. Fuck yes, YOU SHOW THAT MAN SOME HAPPILY EVER AFTER PETE

• Soft Kitty by @ko-fiandfanfiction (E, 33k, completed)

Summary: Peter wasn’t wearing something Tony would call normal, not that there was anything inherently wrong with what he was wearing or anything. It just struck him as…different. To put it plainly. Tony is not sure what to make of this new development.

Review: For those of you who love some occasional feminization, this is the perfect treat. Soft, sexy and sweet, it combines top guilty, pining Tony with oblivious idiots in love, two of my favorite tropes. Amazing slow burn with glorious sexual tension, infuriating dancing around each other and a very satisfying get together. Bonus points for including the “Avengers living together in the Tower” trope, this is the 2012 team building fic we deserved.

• Solitaire by @darker-soft-starker (M, 29k, completed)

Summary: After a traumatic experience, Tony loses his marriage and his business empire in one fell swoop. At rock bottom, it takes real change to pick up the pieces, to dig himself out of the funk he's been living in. It's not pretty. Along the path of healing Tony meets a bright young man, Peter Parker, who makes the entire journey worth it.

Review: Oh man, this was a tough ride on the soul. Few things hurt me like reading whump!Tony but his healing journey is so beautiful it’s all worth it. Top notch characterization, amazing dialogue, FEELS EVERYWHERE, and a gorgeous portrayal of loneliness, friendship, hope and love.  

• Someone Who Makes you Happy by tuesday (T, 6k, completed) Soulmate AU

Summary: Peter was born with several marks already marring his skin, including an interlocking AES over his heart. A scar-sharing soulmate AU.

Review: This fic is absolutely stunning and it makes my heart ache in all the right places. Great worldbuilding (I LOVE the scarring concept, so unique and fitting to these characters), A+++ Tony characterization (the wit and the self-hate are so spot on I could weep) and a journey full of longing, until they finally get to be on the same page. 

• Splice by Mezzymet (E, 35k, completed) A/B/O

Summary: "He's not...." The doctors polite nature and disposition hadn't been able to mask the odd tone of his voice, like he had been reading someone's death certificate. Only Peter hadn't been on his death bed. "Peter isn't like the other kids.

Review: I keep coming back to this story because it’s such a fascinating and unique take on this trope. Very well thought and put together - the world building is fantastic, the sex sequences are breathtaking, and Tony’s gentle thoughtfulness makes me wanna cry.   

• Stopover by @cagestark (E, 10k, completed)

Summary: A stopover is just a break in a journey. Tony is on the run from the organization he used to kill for, and when he stopped for gas and coffee in the small town of Stopover, IL, he had no plans to leave with anything more.

Review: *sigh* this is the mob boss!Tony fic I’ve waited for all my life. Even more impressive than the delicious smut checking all my kink boxes was the phenomenal build up, the overall urgent atmosphere that surrounds those “on the run”, combined with the gentle wonder of stealing a moment in time to find solace in the most unlikely place. Breathtakingly moving. 

• Student Body President Election by @starkerforlife6969 (T, completed)

Summary: Tony and Peter are competing for Student Body President and a smear campaign takes things a little too far.

Review: GIMME ENEMIES TO LOVERS AND ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA. This ficlet is so fun and adorable it will make your heart smile. Great plot idea and the usual bonus points for protective!Tony being a sweetheart. Will have more 30k, pls and thank.

• Such a Softer Sin by @css1992 (E, 18k, completed) background Peter/Norman

Summary: Tony is a self-made man. Peter is a sugar baby – someone else’s sugar baby.

Review: Another fantastic slow burn that hit me hard in the feels. I love it when fics explore the characters’ personal struggles before they get together, and while the Peter!whump destroyed my heart, Tony’s parallel journey of growth took my breath away. css1992’s talent took the good old sugar baby trope to a whole new epic level. 

• Summer Daze by @darker-soft-starker (NR, 4.3k, completed)

Summary: Starker no-powers au where Peter watches construction worker Tony from his bedroom window as the older man works across the street.

Review: Ahh yes, the classic “food as metaphor for love” trope, my absolute jam. This fic is so adorable and endearing, pining!Peter in his wooing mission makes my heart ache and the sweet anticipation is so good. There’s something about this fic that gives me nostalgia; it’s as soft and warm as a summer breeze.

• Tamed by @cagestark (E, 8.3k, completed)

Summary: Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and spy for SHIELD. Working with another SHIELD spy, the infamous Spider, he will take down an infamous human trafficking ring in New York. But the act they have to put on will demand more from Tony than he ever thought he'd have to give. Not that he minds.

Review: It’s no wonder this is Cage’s most beloved fic. Bad boy!Tony being all soft for Peter is everything we deserve, not to mention a mesmerizing (and HOT AF) first time together. This fic shows how rich and captivating Cage’s writing is - she’s able to transform that old basic trope into something unique and heartfelt. If you need one more reason to read this, please consider: best first bj ever :)    

• Teacher!Tony wrong number by @areluctantsblog (T) tw underage

Summary: Peter’s using a replacement phone and mistypes Ned’s number asking for help on a physics problem.

Review: I have such a soft spot for this fic! It was one of the first AUs I’ve ever read and I’m completely in love with their dynamics. Peter’s underage but this fic is carefully written and pretty tame, so I’d rec it to anyone looking for the good old “they probably shouldn’t, but then again nothing’s happening” trope.  

• The Bleedover Effect by tuesday (T, 11k, completed) Soulmate AU

Summary: The first time Tony got punched in the face by nobody there, he had a lot of very complicated feelings about it that mostly boiled down to, "I deserve this." A pain-sharing soulmate AU.

Review: Tuesday truly is the queen of soulmate AUs, we have no other choice but STAN. First of all, I adore the concept here - being such a sucker for whump, this could easily become my favorite soulmate trope. As usual, her Tony voice is perfect and his devotion to Peter hits my fragile heart every time. Kudos for the soft and hopeful ending. The series has been discontinued but the sequels are very much worth the read, if you’re up for it :)

• The Catfish Chronicles by @stfustucky (iwillpaintasongforlou) (E, 32k, completed)

Summary: Peter creates a fake profile under the name “Benjamin” trying to catch his scumbag boyfriend cheating. Tony creates a Tinder profile for "Anthony" looking for love late in life. Funny how two geniuses who fight side by side every day can only manage to fall in love after they've accidentally catfished each other. This is... gonna get awkward.

Review: My identity porn thirst might be showing but who cares, I want these two idiots pining after each other in every possible way. This was such a fun and exciting ride! The suspense had me legit freaking out and their get together was lovely and wholesome. I particularly adored how thoughtful and sweet Tony was dealing with Peter’s insecurities, that was handled really well. A treat!

• The Concept of Domesticity by @peters-tofu (E) mpreg

Summary: Tony has accomplished nearly everything he's set out to do, now he wants something different. A family of his own? Sounds easy enough. But he's far too impatient for a relationship, so surrogacy it is. Meanwhile, twenty-two year old college student Peter Parker has just volunteered to be a bearer at an agency.

Review: Can’t say I’m a big fan of this trope but since every rule has its exception, here it is! The only Starker mpreg I’ve ever read is so so good and adorable I can’t help smiling every time I think about it. I just love their dynamics, the soft domesticity, the cute bantering, and the fact that Peter has one baby daddy all wrapped around his little finger but what else is new ;)

***The Date by Neuropsyche (E, 33k, completed)

Summary: Tony has a high society gala and he needs a date.

Review: My favorite fake dating AU so far, this fic is so sweet and wholesome. Confident!Peter is my jam and it was amazing to see their sassy bantering evolving into genuine affection towards each other, not to mention the delicious hot smut with dom!Tony :D 

• The Final Heist by @starkerforlife6969 (G, 10k, completed)

Summary: Tony’s only got one more heist. He does this, he can be retired on an island in the Mediterranean in a month. All he needs is a world-class art forger. (White Collar inspired)

Review: Honestly, the amount of times I’ve mentioned SFL in this list is getting embarrassing. I must have done something really good in another life to get such a talented author writing something inspired by one of my favorite TV shows. I feel like this fic was personally crafted for me; it’s original, romantic, sexy, fun, clever and so very atmospheric. I’m a lucky hoe. 

• The Heart Benefits of Exercise by @areluctantsblog (E, 14k, completed)

Summary: Personal Trainer Tony and Gym Newbie Peter. Peter can hardly keep it together watching Tony demonstrate different exercises and lift weights. Tony is very much aware of the effect he has on his trainee, and after a session, Peter begs to be shown a whole different array of exercises.

Review: This fic was a lovely surprise, very relatable and entertaining. Love myself an adorable Peter thirsting over Tony (can’t really judge lol), especially if it comes with a good amount of pining and hot, kinky smut :D

• Tipping the Scale by JayPendragon (E, 119k, completed)

Summary: Peter has a rhythm. A system. All runs like a well-oiled machine, engineering pun intended. Every wheel of his life is churning perfectly. He doesn’t expect Tony Stark of all people to throw a wrench in it.

Review: Hooker!AUs are my kryptonite, I’m so here for the “fuck first, talk later” and the general pining + misunderstandings + h/c combo this trope provides. This amazing longfic delivers it all with a well-paced, delicious slow burn told from Peter’s POV, which is always a delight to read and makes you fall even more in love with him. If you also enjoy this trope you’re in for a treat!

•  To Catch a Spider by Thekeyandquill (E)

Summary: After the war, Peter Parker left his career as a spy behind to live a simple life in the south of France. But when someone frames him for the theft of plans for a new weapon, he must re-enter his old life and get close to the real thief's likely next target - one Tony Stark. A To Catch a Thief AU.

Review: TKAQ is so skilled their writing should be experienced like fine wine. Amazing research, top notch world building and characterization, and the loveliest atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re inside a movie. Clever, organic dialogue and a sexual tension so palpable you can almost taste it. This is a gem. Make sure to check their other works.

•  Two White, Two Black, One Pink by @starkerforlife6969 (E) poly fic: Peter/Tony, Peter/Steve, Peter/Bucky, Peter/Strange Summary: Peter has three (maybe one day: four) men in his life who mean the world to him. Review: Ugh, this fic is pure bliss. It has legit ruined me for any and all other poly fics. Words just cannot describe how gorgeous, poetic and unique SFL’s writing is, or how deeply it has affected me. So if you enjoy Mafia AUs, poly fics and soft-but-also-bamf!Peter taking care of Tony AND being taken care of by the men he loves, give this a chance and experience transcending storytelling. 

•  Uranium Heart by spqr (M, 11k, completed) Soulmate AU Summary: It’s probably better, Peter thinks, that he doesn’t know who his soulmate is. He wouldn’t want to lie to them about Spider-Man, but he doesn’t think he’d be able to tell them the truth, either.

Review: Be still my heart. This is such a gorgeous fic! Not only it combines two major tropes in a coherent 11k story, but I also appreciate how spqr explores these characters and their dynamics in a very unique and realistic way. I strongly recommend checking their other works, especially Landslide. 

•  Waiting Game by @cagestark (E, 6k, completed)

Summary: Peter hasn't seen Tony in fifteen years. Not since he had their hasty marriage annulled, graduated college, and moved across the country. Their twenty year high school reunion will find them reunited. They've both changed, but one thing hasn’t. Hint: it's their feelings for each other.

Review: This fic literally made my heart BURST WITH FEELS: the whole build up and anticipation, the slow disclosure of their past, the first uncertain moments of their reunion. I also appreciate the powerful and moving message underneath it all, that true healing comes after we overcome our demons at our own pace. A masterpiece.

•  Wooing Peter Parker by Neuropsyche (E, 62.5k, completed)

Summary: Tony and Rhodey dodge the press and sneak into the library where they meet Peter Parker - who immediately catches Tony's eye. But Peter isn't a one and done kind of guy and Tony's going to have to work for what he wants this time.

Review: This is the kind of fic that warms you all over and makes you smile non stop. It has so many elements I love in fic: cute flirting, clever banter, hot sex, soft domesticity, boys being reasonable and talking their problems out for a change. If you’re looking for something light, sweet and honest, this series is a must read!

do you have any scars? - Aye. Oh boi do I, but people barely notice them until I bring them up. I have a Harry Potter-esque one from when I split my head open as child that’s mostly covered by freckles... a pretty cool one on my right ear from when I fell into a stack of VHS tapes that I’d made into a castle... several on my knees... a small one above my upper lip & the most recent one is on a boobie from when I had my heart monitor implanted. It sorta looks like a ‘W’ or a little butterfly... Kinda cute I must say.

how long does it take you to get ready? - Depends on the day, but 30mins if I’m showering & dressing & drying my hair. (It’s pretty long, I need a haircut)

most used phrase? - “Gotta risk it. To get the biscuit.” Amongst many others.

are you a good singer? - Who knows. I hate Karaoke.

do you sing to yourself? - If no-one is around, then yes. But when with friends you’ll find me singing my own parodies to popular songs for my own amusement. The most popular is Jealousy (KFC) by Monsta X.

biggest fear? - I shall not reveal this incase my enemies are reading... but I’ll say humans. They’re very scary.

do you like long or short hair? - On myself... long, but I am jealous of people that can rock the short hair.

are you into gossip? - Nah, aint got time for it. Have too many films & dramas to watch in my free time & himbos to simp over.

extrovert or introvert? - Ambi, but highly introverted. Humans irk me & drain my mental battery. I need all the juice to get through a single day.

favourite school subject? - Art & Media.

what makes you nervous? - Everything & Nothing.

how many piercings do you have? - I used to have my ears pierced as a kid, but they’re closed up now, I would like the top of my right ear pierced though. I think that looks really cool.

❄Shouto🔥

So we know icy-hot is touched deprived right, so you know you're more likely to tease him with your big ole rump-shaking booty

He loves a little bit of teasing but as soon as you're close enough, he's gripping your waist tightly, grinding his junk onto you.

If you're lucky, he'll groan in your ear, "you think you're so smart don't you, baby? Follow me and I'll give you a real reason to keep shaking"

Yeah, he knows what twerking is, he lives with you. And you love to do that left cheek, right cheek move. When you do, his world is forever changed and loooooooooves (do you hear me) loooooves when you do it during reverse cowgirl.

MANS WILL NUT

🐙Tamaki🐙

This shy ass man

Okay so, he's heard of twerking but thought it meant something else.

Before you guys were dating he misused the word for another way to call something cool

"Hey Y/N, You were twerking during our spar session."

He said this in front of his friends and they just looked at your face. You were highly confused and flustered, to say the least.

When you've settled down you pull him to the side to explain what twerking really meant.

This dude blasts off like a fucking rocket.

You bring him back to earth, tell him it's okay and shoot your shot.

Honestly, after living with him, it's his favorite past time to do with you.

When you guys are laying down in bed, and you're on your side with your leg on him.

His hand + your ass = twerking

He's jiggling your ass in his hand until he's calm of all insecurity or until he can't stop himself from being inside you. No in-between unless he's between them cheeks.

🌽Monoma/Monomania🌽

(Ooooof, okay so I'm not mentioning 1-A at all lol. I'm not up to date in the manga so this is the purest HC I think of him. Also, I left the monomania because when I wrote this on my phone that’s what it autocorrected too lmao)

So he's a cocky dickhead but also a shy bastard

He knows what twerking is but got the wrong girl to shake their ass on him.

You come along being cute and MS. THICK IN THE HIPS, and he bites his bottom lip

So he tries to flirt with you and at first, you're not feeling it

But after going to a party and talking to him for most of the night, you play a game of truth or dare

You ain't no bitch, so dare

The dare is to give a lapdance to anyone of your choice

So of course, you choose this biscuit head mf

Pulling him by his hand into the closest chair and clearing the dance floor

You're a bit of a wild card depending on whether or not you drink.

Could lead to you being Shakira where your hips don’t lie, or you belong at Jamaican dance halls

That night happened to be Jamaican dance hall... you broke the chair under him and did a split on the dick

Someone is screaming LEGEND in the back lmao

After your performance, he's smitten with you, says the right thing and finally, y'all start going out. And now you have to split on his dick if not every night, every other night.

He feels good knowing that his dick is long enough for you to do it and brags about it all the time, lowkey (let’s face it high-key) getting on your nerves

But if you do it, he'll bust quick and you can go to sleep.

📼Sero📼

So on some level, Sero is a man of class and standards

So when he sees you bounce that ass, he's fogged in approval.

The ripples on your ass get him goooooing

Tie this man in his own tape and have your way, shaking your boohoooty on his junk, I promise he loves it. As your faves say, "LEAVE THAT MAN IN A PUDDLE"

He likes it when you're looking for stuff that you use all the time. Because you go into full search mode and your ass is usually up in the air. 

you end up finding what you’re looking for near ground level cabinets/storage spaces.

It leads to interesting sex sessions...

You: How the hell did my hair ties end up down here?

Sero casually rubs your booty: Well don't you look good enough to eat...

Idk if he eats ass but hey with those teeth anything is possible. LOLJKJKJKJK

Sero is a body worshiper don't at me.

He wholeheartedly loves you and your body. Hanta will plant kisses all over you, your ass included

So if you're ever mad at him and you say kiss my ass, he will gladly say yes

🌝Ojiro🌝

(Honestly, what can I say about this man?)

He likes when you're trying to get his attention and you're being goofy by shaking your ass

You know he's mesmerized by your body and here you are distracting him

Whether its work from home or hanging with his friends

Rump shaker you is one of the best parts of you

Ojiro never knew what a rump shaker was until you showed him. Right after that, he’s a bumbling, fumbling mess

He's very touchy-feely if you're close enough.

Grabbing your waist, hips, thighs... titties.

Your upper half is just as important to him as your lower half.

You're titties bouncing, while you're twerking is woooooow to him

He just loves you on top of him

Also when you do the reverse cowgirl, bounce as hard as you can on his dingaling and hold his tail..... nutsplode

💪Shoji💪

SURPRISE, YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HIS GRASP WHILE TWERKING ON HIM

He's very quiet and reserved but comes out of character when you dance on him, he's the literal life of the party or clinging to you the whole night

I honestly think he can grab your waist and hips at the same time.

Oh my God, he gives the best massages ever.

Once in a while, he'll tell you to lay on your stomach and rub you down

He's like Tamaki but knows what he's doing.

All those hands rubbing on your ass is an absolute tease

Back on topic; he's not controlling but he loves when you're twerking in private where only he can see your ass bounce

If you're into a certain music genre, Mezo will deadass make a twerking playlist

Yes, he will, don't @ me. He listens to everything and will tailor the music to your liking.

Literally listening to old school and new school rump-shaking songs just to help you get your best ass workout

HE'S BUYING YOU UNDERGARMENTS THAT MAKE YA ASS POP, OKAY

A MAN OF TASTE, WE STAN
