20 of my fav bls under the cut :)

initially, i was going to call it my "top 10", but it's not my top ten, it's just favs that i really love or think you (sara) would also enjoy. so it's just 20 "random" favs. if you (general) want, i can upload the 200+ long list and even include "reviews" of my favourites, but i'll only do that upon request. also here's my blanket rec for mxtx's works. svsss is my fav. i'm very easy. thank you <3

20 OF MY FAV BLS:

sotus is very dear to my heart. i watched it right before i went to university, so it really set that mood for me lol it's not a perfect story, the audio is shit at some parts, and the acting was sometimes stiff, but when the show hit, my fucking god did it HIT. of course i roped all my friends into watching it. it was based on a novel, but the novel didn't particularly stand out to me (sorry). there's also a manga now (3 vols) but i'm just loyal to the show, y'know? it also has a sequel, and that one made one of my friend cry (i actually had to pause the show lol), but for me, the first season is what's rly stellar. (lakorn / rewatches: 4? 5? a lot?)

sasaki and miyano by syou harusono is such an easy read, with lovely art, cute characters, and the softest, sweetest romance. it makes me feel like i've been hit by a car, then the car backed up and drove over me again. sasaki is the light of my life (and also if i looked like him, i'd never shut up. and i project just a little bit too bc oh he just like me fr), and everyday i think about making him my pfp. i owe syou harusono my life. i want to say more about this bc it rly is my fav manga perhaps of all time but that also means i can't say more about it LOL (manga / rereads: 6)

the cat proposed (bakeneko katatte sourou) by hayane dento is quite possibly the best manga i've ever read. the writing is so beautiful, and it's a really relatable and inspiring story for me. plus it's got catboys. *motions to my dnp catboy pfp* but in all seriousness, it's a genuinely great story that squeezes my heart and leaves me in tears (manga / rereads: 5)

doukyuusei is a certified bl classic. i've not read the entire manga series, but i've got the anime film saved to my laptop. that was another thing i roped all my friends into watching, and yes, everyone was gagged (animanga / rewatches: 4?)

koimonogatari by tagura tohru is incomplete, and the "love" part isn't there yet, but my fucking god. i think i just picked it up for funsies at the bookstore, but man was i unprepared. it's not a fun read by any means, nor is it easy, it's actually pretty brutal, but it's a good story, so i felt i should include it. (it is one of my faves) (manga / rereads: none bc i will kill myself.)

summer of you (kimi wa natsu no naka) by furuya nagisa changed me. it was one of those manga that was in my to read list for a really long time, but i just never did it. when i finally did, i totally regret putting it off. i think i cried. it has a sequel (summer with you), and that was good too, but that first one just really got me (manga / rereads: 1)

fools by yeongha has an art style i will forever be jealous of. the original, that is. i'm sure the remastered version is great, and probably the one i should read, but i'm just way too attached to the original and the art is (in my opinion) way better. the story is fun and sweet, and i read it at another formative time in my life. *jazz hands* (manhwa / rereads: 3)

my darling signed in by dimang and new lung. if there's one thing about me, i'm gonna read a video game catfish story. this manhwa is so fucking ridiculous, but i love it. it actually gets pretty dark, which took me by surprise the first time i read it, but it's not between the main cp, if you're worried about that (manhwa / rereads: 3)

dasadanan by herb mandu also has just lovely art. i can just stare at it for ages bc i'm so obsessed. also there's side gl, and i love those two girls so damn much. the story is very easy to read, fluffy, and it's just good feelings all around. it also has some really silly extras. (manhwa / rereads: 4)

history3: trapped is so... it is also dear to me. the main couple is funny and cute; however, it's the side couple that really gets to me. they're so ridiculous and fun, and the actor for zhao zi is an acrobat? does acrobatic dance? i'm not sure exactly, but they wanted to showcase that so he'd just be doing some random gymnast shit for no reason and it's so funny. and jack was made in a lab for me, so. y'know. (drama / rewatches: 2, about to be 3)

glasses cloth and playlist by gwak jonpil was recommended to me by a friend i believe, and i'm so glad i read it. it's another easy read and also very ridiculous, but when i say something is "ridiculous", that's usually a huge compliment. i LOLed at, like, every other panel. the main cp is so damn ridiculous, and i adore them. (manhwa / rereads: 1)

starting with a lie by liang azha has the softest art i've ever seen. that manhua is like a warm hug, if a warm hug also had you gritting your teeth and clenching your fists because GODDAMN JUST GET TOGETHER FOR REAL ALREADY! i love it. oh, but i don't like qiu tian. sorry. (manhua / rereads: 2)

how to survive as a villain by yi yi yi yi is... look, i'm sure it has flaws, right? every story has flaws, but wherever they are, i did not see them. i mean, it's a little bit ridiculous at times, but again, "ridiculous", and the mc was transmigrated into a once-good now-trashy harem novel. and he's also smart but oblivious. bound to be a little bit silly. but also this novel ripped out my heart and stomped on it. and i thought it wouldn't happen with the manhua, but i cried then too. what the hell. i really enjoyed this story, and i think it's what got me into transmigration stories in general :P (danmei / rereads: 2)

a shoulder to cry on by dongmul. okay. OKAY. this is not a "happy" story to most. also the ending without the extras/epilogue is bittersweet to ambiguous. the issue here is that I LOVE ENDINGS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!! this story is so damn good and i like the art a lot and god, some of the quotes? every time i reach certain scenes i have to pause and stare at the wall because no fucking way. it's just too good. i should go ahead and warn that the couple doesn't have the healthiest of dynamics and their relationship starts bc one of them lies and accuses the other of sexual harassment, so. i'm just letting you know now. but i let myself have toxic yaoi. as a treat. tbh to me it's not that bad, but i know everyone has different intensity levels, so. (manhwa / rereads: 3)

never understand by bbong is an... interesting read. arguably more toxic yaoi, and everyone at times can be kind of awful and annoying, but i think that's fun. sorry. i vividly remember reading this for the first time. for some reason. also, as with a good amount of manhwa that i read in my more formative years, i like this art style. (manhwa / rereads: 1)

semantic error by j soori and angy kim is a lot more graphic and hardcore (sex-wise) than the kdrama, which makes sense, but like... DAMN! my toxic trait is that every three panels i pause and go "hey does anyone else think these guys look like jaedo?" and the sniper that's supposed to shoot me any time i bring up rps lets me live because i'm objectively right. the characters are so damn infuriating, but i like watching car crashes, so it's alright. plus the art is good and, well, i never said i don't ship jaedo. *glass next to me explodes after a bullet cuts through it* whatever! (rereads: none bc it ended not that long ago. but i'll probably reread it soon)

no.6 by asano atsuko and here comes all the haters being like, "oh, that's not bl!" "that's more than bl!" "[some more dumb shit i don't care about]!" suck my pussy. i don't care. i loooove the novels and hope we get a printed official english translation. people are right to say the romance isn't the focus, but it's there, and honestly, i love plotty shit. i've heard it's supposed to be the "happy version" of banana fish or whatever the fuck, but damn if that's not a fucked up version of happy. i sobbed my fucking eyes out (novel & animanga / rereads: 2)

snow fairy by serizawa tomo. i'm not gonna lie, i don't remember this story, but on my big list it has a heart next to it, and i feel like i cried when i read it. i've said i've cried about like half of these, and i cry when i see something cute or when i think about my blorbo or when a song is pretty, so that means nothing. but this one really got to me! i think it was just a simple story with lovely art. it aches, maybe. actually, i've just found my initial review, which reads: "im so miserable....." (rereads: none, but i'd like to reread it asap)

bj alex by mingwa. insert loud and disappointed "ooh" from the crowd bc really, phil-lesterfan? i thought you were a scholar? with taste? LOOK. i know this is a basic manhwa, and i couldn't give a rat's ass about the side cp, but ahn jiwon somehow became pookie. it is agonising, though, 'cause like i said, i don't care about the side cp, but oh my fucking god, it feels like everyone else only cares about them. shoot me. also the side cp is into bdsm, but you can skip over their shit honestly. (rereads: 2)

aien catharsis by oshima kamome was another manga that'd been in my tbr list for ages. i really like how the story feels. aaaaand i just reread it and ah. i see why it affected me. (if you can guess what line stuck out to me, lmk, i'd love to hear it heh) it's historical fiction and has lovely art. tw for sexual assault, but it's not between the cp and it's also not shown. (manga / rereads: 2)

like i said, i have a lot more favs, so if anyone wants the full list, just ask. or if you don't want the full list, i can give rec lists for certain genres or just manga or just danmei, etc, etc. i know i'm in batman hell right now (ah. western yaoi....), but i've been fujoshing since i was like... ten. okay this is of course way longer than it should be. hope u enjoy if you read any of these ^_^ <3

Hello my love

Author’s note: Mentioned edit huehueHellooo!

Thank you so much for your sweet words and the prompt ahhhhh this ask keepsmaking me smile uwu 

Summary: Takes place at the end of episode 13 when Takano has Ritsu pinned to the floor. Drunk Ritsu is a lot more daring than usual and decides to get creative when he tries to escape.

Word count: 1k 

His headwas spinning. Damn, the alcohol haddefinitely done a good ass job. Emotions were all over the place; one minuteRitsu was ready to rip Takano’s head off and throw it out the window, the nexthe was crying over him. And now, he was lying on the floor, handspinned on either side of his head, staring up at his boss through teary eyes.

Badum. Rational and emotional voices were having WorldWar III in his cloudy head, because yes, Takanowas telling him to get a grip, but also no,because Takano was telling him to agrip. His moral compass was just gone, he couldn’t think straight anymore.The emotional voice was causing his heart to pound like crazy, while his rational one was hissing at him to move.

“When theperson you like is right in front of you, then of course it’s hard to keepprivate life and business separate, so don’t provoke me because I won’t be ableto stop.”

Oh, Takanowas leaning down. His face was very close. And getting closer. Getting way too close, holy shit, okay, abort, abort!

Okay, they were kissing. Takano’s grip on his wrists was still going strong and Ritsuhad never hated his life more. On one hand, he wanted this more than anything,but on the other hand, he hated himself for wanting this in the first place and needed to push Takano off him.

Someaggressive words blubbered out of his mouth and they were far from polite, but Ritsucouldn’t really care at this point. Takano went a little lower and startednipping at his jaw and neck, making him even more lightheaded than he alreadywas. The alcohol was fuelling the warmth that was currently spreading throughhis entire body like wildfire, his heart had picked up the pace and was nowbeating as if there was no tomorrow and breathing was becoming hard as well.

He had todo something. The grip on his wristsbecame a little looser, probably because Takano was getting carried away, andRitsu racked his useless brain, desperately wanting to come up with an idea toget away. Pushing him away never really worked and neither did yelling at himbecause Takano was stupidly stubborn like that, so he had to get creative.

… Okay,this was definitely the alcohol’sdoing. He never would’ve thought ofdoing this if he had been sober, but desperate times call for desperatemeasures.

Ritsumanaged to free his hands and immediately reached for Takano’s sides, squeezingright below his ribs. To his surprise, it actually worked.

“Wh— Onodera!”

The mosthilarious noise that had ever come out of Takano’s mouth reached his ears andhe was about to laugh at it, but then of course, the other fell right on top of him. Theair was knocked out of both of them, but his drunk body didn’t mind the weight thatmuch, so he peacefully continued to tickle his boss. Ritsu never thought he’dexperience Takano gasping for breath and moving awkwardly on top of him, butwell, there they were.

“O-Onodera,stop, you idiohot!” Takano yelped andcurled in on himself, nose scrunched up in a kind of cute way and slightly redlips curled into a big smile.

His breathylaughter was so out of character that Ritsu wanted to treasure this moment. Hedid a silent prayer that he would remember this the next morning and that hisfuture sober ass would have the balls to pull this stunt again. Was it becauseTakano didn’t want to take advantage of him or was he actually too weak fromlaughter to get away?

Largerhands reached for his own, so Ritsu simply shoved his hands under Takano’sshirt and scribbled his fingers all over his lower back and hips. It was thanksto An-chan he had some experience with tickle fights and that he knew he’d have the upper hand as long as Takanocouldn’t reach his hands.

“Can’tbelieve I never thought of this before,” he mumbled both to himself and thewrithing Takano.

“Ah! I’ll— Shit! Onodora, get off!”

Ritsusimply ignored him, forever grateful that he had the privilege of hearingTakano’s voice reaching such high pitches. He secretly hoped that Yokozawa hadnever heard him laugh like that and the thought of him being the only one inTakano’s life who was allowed to listen to this made him feel beyondvictorious.

He let hishands crawl a little higher so they were positioned at his ribs and startedsqueezing at random spots, listening intently to make sure he hit the rightspots. Turned out that his upper ribs were the most ticklish and he intended touse that valuable information.

Takano wasa sputtering and squawking mess, caged between Ritsu’s legs and arms, faceburied in his chest. His hair was brushing against Ritsu’s nose and it actuallysmelled really nice.

Shit, he was really drunk. And he was really going toregret this later, but it was totally worth it.

“I-will-fucking-kick-your-ass-if-you-don’t-stop,”Takano managed to bring out through his endless stream of laughter and Ritsu didfeel a little intimidated, but his drunk ass didn’t care and dared to reach forhis underarms, which turned out to be an even worse spot. “Ritsu!”

Now that was interesting. Ritsu’s heartskipped a beat upon hearing his name, still not used to Takano calling himthat.

Takanoquickly tried to roll away, but Ritsu’s hands were still under his shirt so hewas sort of dragged along and was the one to end up on top this time. It was alsoprobably because Takano had wrapped his arms around his waist. Again, Ritsu wasdrunk and wasn’t the brightest at the moment.

“Hey, I wastickling you,” Ritsu muttered and let his fingers dance over the skin thatwas still accessible to him.

This time,however, Takano was prepared and tickled him back twice as hard. Ritsuinstantly doubled over, shrieking with laughter because, apparently, he was waymore ticklish and pulled his hands back to shield himself.

A few cursewords escaped and he was pretty sure he called Takano a sore loser, but he didget enveloped in a bear hug afterwards.

“Dummy,”Takano breathed into his ear, which suddenly felt very hot. “I’m glad you’restill playful, though. I missed that.”

Ritsu couldonly hum in response, too tired and flustered to function. He vaguelyregistered getting kissed again for a few seconds before it went back to simplylaying there, safe and sound in Takano’s arms. His lips were curled up into alazy smile and he closed his eyes, ready to fall asleep right there and then.

The next morning was a little less peaceful, though. Takano was looming over himmenacingly, hands ready to attack while Ritsu was uselessly trying to coverhimself up with the sheets and pillow.

Unfortunately,Ritsu couldn’t remember much from the night before and absolutely lost it whenTakano told him that he had resorted to tickling,of all things. The mere thought flusteredhim to no end and he wanted to die more than anything.

“Well, youdid, and you were pretty proud of it, too.”

Ritsu placedthe pillow over his head. “I am so sorry! Please forgive me! No, Takano-san, Iswear— I was drunk! I Nooo, ack! Please don’t tickle me!”

In the end,Takano did run a few fingers through his bangs and whispered that he thought itwas cute, so maybe drunk him hadn’t ruined his life completely. Wait no, he totally did, he shouldn’t be glad about the fact Takano called him cute.

Ugh, life was so unfair. And so was Takano’s laugh.
