Pairing : Reader x Daniel Ricciardo x Max Verstappen | Poly fem!reader
Warnings : use of y/n, smau, polyamory, queer drivers, reader is around 30
Synopsis : Youāre just a mechanic at RedBull, not much more to say. Nothing in your contract says you canāt be friends with drivers, right ? The little lines very clearly says youāre not allowed to show it all though. When your chosen āfamilyā fails you, all you can do is hope your loved ones save themselves too.
Mothās prophecyš”: Hi cryptids, honestly I have no excuses to give, sorry for the randomness of it all, I just needed to get this out to process with the pain of loosing Daniel. I can only hope he finds happiness away from the shit show that RedBull is becoming. Probably going back to hibernation, see ya !

yourusername : Well, there it is. After 15 years of working on cars, the last 10 in motorsports, last five in Formula 1, itās time for me to take a break. It was just perfect to finish it off in my hometown Austin, and Iām so grateful to my friends and family who made the trip to celebrate together. I remember my first week at Milton Keynes, my whole life in a suitcase. Abu Dhabi 2021, and those stories weāll keep for our old days. I was so proud to be part of this, the champagne, the fireworks, the love. The day Daniel came back to us. The people Iāve met, the opportunities Iāve had, none would have been possible without you, āBull. Itās been oh so amazing, but oh so tiring. Iāve reached a point in my life where I need my environment to be aligned with what I want, my values and the people I love and care for. So itās goodbye.
F1, thank you for everything. Iāll miss you, but I gotta go. š

Some "if Yue is alive and went travelling with the Gaang" designs.
With a ton of text about cultural inspiration.
The main book 2 look
I wanted to show cultural differences between the tribes, so Yue's look is sort of Mongolian. There were Mongolian-styled hats in the Northern tribe, and Yue's dress under the coat looked like a Mongolian deel (thanks @atlaculture for all these posts about clothes and everything else!), so it's not much against the canon information.
So she's wearing a deel again with a second layer - there are chinese actors on photos as far as I know; I hope it's okay. One-shoulder silhouette refers to later Aang's clothes because Yue is still kind of a spiritual person (she wasn't a fighter, so I want her to have some other useful talent ā not a bender or healer like Katara or a non-bender warrior like Suki). Violet, pink and white were originally her colors, no changes here. Three blue characters would be too much for a group of five, and total white is not practical at all. I like to think that violet color shows high rank in the Avatar universe; in the original series it was only worn by princess Yue, Kanna, the chief Hakoda's mother, and by king Bumi.
Yue's boots here are mongolian gutals/gutuls (the collage is already big, but I used them again for one of Book 3-looks).
Her hair become simpler ā just two braids and a hairpiece, to match her previous decorated hairdo. I guess if she's travelling with the Gaang she's not that much of a Moon Spirit anymore (maybe she returned the part of the moon spirit that saved her and was healed other way?), so I decided to forego the moon-referring part. Also it will be easier to do by herself since she has no servants now... The headdress I took from modern Mongolian dancers; the front part is crescent-moon-shaped.
The Ba Sing Se dress
I fell in love with this Ao Dai dress, it's simple, long and elegant. But... it's mostly Vietnameseā¦ and I'm afraid that it's modern and not historically accurate. Also it does not really go together with other Ba Sing Se dresses :( because I did not want to just copy-paste some background look. But there is at least one dress with a tail, thigh high slits and a standing collar on the dress underneath, so... I guess my choice is not that bad? The tail makes her look more royal. The fan is the same which Toph and Katara had. For the palette I chose Yue's white color with EK greens and warm yellow/ochre to match Katara and Toph. The hairdo is copied from the series; I chose one with the tassel on the right, to refer the NWT/Korean accessories.
The Fire Nation disguise
A confession ā I don't like FN clothes. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it properly, so I almost copied that attire (left one) ā asymmetry, as a Thai touch, which again matches Aang's Invasion Buddhist-like clothes. The palette keeps Yue's signature white, with some pink of a warmer shade, as they wear it in the Fire Nation. And the "royal" long skirt, 'cause she's still not a fighter. The look is simplified so I could not keep zigzag ornament on her longyi skirt, therefore I moved it onto the top part.
I used Thai dancers jewelry and...Ā flip flops? idk how they are called in Southeast Asia (don't like Sokka and Katara's FN shoes at all, why the design is so complicated?).
For covering her hair I used a turban, inspired by Myanmar turbans; a white one, so if some hair will show, it won't be too noticeable. Also Yue could still be easily recognised on screen/page by her white head. The long end of the fabric on her right resembles burmese hairstyle silhouette.
The Invasion-and-till-finale look
For her dress I used a deel (again); the sleeveless jacket is an hommage to her original design and has some Korean vibes, like Toph's Ba Sing Se dress (at least I hope so). Katara and Sokka's season 1 looks have Korean influence, so I guess it's okay. Gutals are from her Book 2 main look. I have a soft spot for them.
My favorite thing is her hair :)))) It's a mix of Inuit/Mongolian braids and a hairpiece, also from the Book 2 look. This time there will be more braids. Two on the front ā I wanted to keep them from her original hairdo, but now they are braided together (I saw this on the Alaskan Inuit/Eskimo women photos). On the back there are five, inspired by a Mongolian hairdo for young unmarried girls, who wore multiple braids. I decided to make five, because Alaskian Inuit language uses this amount for counting and with two front braids it'll make seven, which is a lucky Mongolian number. And in theory a limited number should be easier to animate.
The post-canon noble look
After the final battle I thought Yue will come back to Agna Qel'a and become a more active political figure. I chose a white kuspuk (blue color is still for Katara and Sokka), showing that she is ready to lead her tribe after this journey, not the passive perfect princess she was before. "She is associated in canon with the masculine yang of the yin and yang and the moon which, in most Inuit and Eskimo cultures, is considered masculine as well. While white kuspuks are associated with men and specifically family patriarchs, a feminine kuspuk in white makes plenty of sense for Yue's character" ā @mostly-mundane-atla helped me a lot with the cultural meaning of the clothes (I am so grateful!). Also it's an hommage to her total-white Moon Spirit look. And I changed her hair again to Greenland updo with two tied braids on the front ā more complicated than the simple braids she wore during the journey. It looks formal.
NWT is less Inuit-inspired and has a strong Mongolian touch (to make them look more "modern"? dunno) but I guess the formal wear for the spiritual princess could refer to older traditions. Which should be the same with SWT, 'cause SWT was originally a part of NWT ā or so I heard. For example, Kuruk, the NWT Avatar who lived about 400 years ago, has nothing Mongolian in his look.
All the looks are simplified to match the style of the original cartoon. I know there should be more details and embroidery, but my goal here was to draw something (at least theoretically) applicable for animation. And no Hahn's betrothal necklace of course.
Also I want to mention here other great Yue designs, since they are the inspiration behind the overall idea of the post ā the moon looks and "Yue joins the Gaang" outfits by amazingly talented @chiptrillino.
P.S.: an important note
This is my first attempt ever to design outfits that could fit the world of A:tLA. I am not Asian or ingenious, not an expert in their cultures or costume history at all, not a professional character designer. I am just a fan who tried to create designs with respect to real cultures and people. Nothing here was supposed to be offensive in any way. If something still is ā please inform me so I could fix it as soon as possible.
I hope, as a fan, I have the right to draw fanarts looking for an inspiration in the cultures that inspired the original cartoon.
If you see mistakes in my post, be it in drawings or a text, also feel free to tell me. I will deeply appreciate it.
ok ok!! ya got me to start a talkin!! ok so anyways im not much of a storyteller but my hc is post movie so big fat spoilers on the way
anyway, elitas been like SUPER clingy to optimus after she gives him the lil pep talk
peep the images. constantly being by his side. heck, even CHOOSING to run ACROSS the battlefield to be next to him
so oppys like āhmm, she DOES know what sheās doing and i do need someone whoās more experienced in leading.ā
yea THAT scene (her flustered āwho me š„ŗ??ā will forever be living rent free in my mind)
(ew wips)
optimus: Well, Iāve been thinking of another promotion; With the Quintessons still at large, thereās a chance theyāll have my head. Iām needing a bodyguard. Someone by my side 24/7 to ensure I donāt make āstupid decisionsā
(im terrible at writing dialogue dont bully me ššš½)
so elita sees this as an opportunity. Which yknow, her whole character arc was her wanting to prove herself and all.
especially now bc she feels SO SO guilty that she couldnāt save optimus, or stop Megatron in time :((
(adding to this hc she does cling to his left arm after the events(tm)
Oh yea and oppy now lives in the tower as he is now The Leader Of Cybertron
he moves most of his pals in their too (jazz, B, WheelJack, Arcee etc.)
HOWEVER THO
(nother wip)
he wants elita in HIS quarters bc shes his bodyguard. so of course heās gonna need her berth closest to him
(Perhaps 2 ppl 1 bed trope teehee š¤)
anyway. das my 2 cents. i hope that helped in anyway for prompts. again i aint much of a storyteller but i have concepts!!
I need to break this down into a summary of my favorite points because WHAT THIS IS SO GOOD!
Clingy Elita. Makes sense, especially her tendency to be on his left. Launchpad for tension, perhaps Optimus starting to wonder if sheās okay because sheās being overprotective even for a bodyguard.
Optimus seeking leadership advice from Elita since she was the captain of his mining team and heās never been in an authoritative role for anyone ever. Builds trust, confidence, and mutual respect between them. Beautiful.
Mutual subconscious pining revealed through Elitaās desire to prove herself via protecting and advising Optimus and through Optimusā desire to station her as close to him as possible at all times, maybe because he is as afraid of losing her as sheās afraid of losing him (again). Did I mention mutual pining? š¤
Optimus not just taking over Sentinelās tower (does anyone know its official name?) but sharing it as a sort of headquarters with his Autobot High Command. Love exploring the facets of his being that separates him from mecha like Sentinel, selflessness being one of the biggest differences.
Thank you so much Munejewels I am eating this up for dessert tonight and will use it as inspiration to produce a banquet for my fellow Optimus Prime X Bodyguard Elita fans
"He's constantly repeating the Holy Mother stuff" yes, because a character's speech should be recognizable to some extent, especially if they are an important character. Religion is also a very important part of Khura'in and its legal system, too, of course he will rely on the Holy Mother a lot. Also, many characters have repetitive speech (Franziska is an amazing character yet uses the word "fool" a lot)
"Ema says he's a good person outside of Court but he isn't" We have BARELY seen him outside of Court, but you don't have to in order to know he is a good person. He suffered in silence so Rayfa wouldn't have the same fate as he did, gave a witness a name despite having no need to, and didn't confiscate Dhurke's badge when interrogating him in hopes that he'd save him.
"He's annoying and extremely ruthless" Because his perception of defense attorneys was completely warped. When you live in a place where they're hated, you'll be bound to do that, too. Besides, he never believed that the person he was prosecuting was innocent and just wanted to give the victim their last rites. He is shown praying for the fallen, having respect toward them.
Not to mention Khura'ins legal systems rely on Rayfa. Outside of Khura'in, naturally he is going to believe the accused is guilty and will do his best to make them pay for their crime.
"He was rude to Athena" Because she is young and, again, he does not like defense attorneys. He at least saw her as a worthy adversary after seeing her strengths.
"He kept throwing beads at people" As if the other prosecutors haven't done WORSE? Throwing coffee, whipping people...
"If his rude persona was an act, why was he mean when outside of Khura'in?" Okay, one, maybe he didn't want to break the persona. It'd be weird if he were mostly ruthless and suddenly switch personalities. If he wants to help Rayfa, he can't show something is going on at home. And if that won't help; maybe he's just a bitch???? He has every right to be. So many other characters are flat out mean. Also; he's in only ONE GAME so far. He still has a lot of his personality to develop.
"His writing sucks, he's basically a second Edgeworth" I agree some parts of his character are not as good as I wish they'd be, but he and Edgeworth are quite different. Even if the character arcs mimic each other, it isn't as if it hasn't been done before. Also, many just refuse to see Nahyuta past the stuck-up religious guy perspective. It's so interesting to wonder how his relationship with religion, rebellion, obedience, etc. would be before, during and post canon.
"He's the worst prosecutor of the series" Because he wasn't easy to beat? He was described to go from place to place, solving difficult cases. Of course he's not going to give up easy and will be a challenge to face
I admit his writing is not the best and could have been better. His redemption arc was a bit short and I think it could have been more interesting if he actually believed in Ga'ran, but Nahyuta is being treated as if he killed everyone's families. Seriously, people seem to forget so often he did so much for Rayfa, even working under someone he didn't believe in.
"He's still my least favourite character" then why are you still reading. I love him. he's my favourite character in SoJ and so mecore. skill issue skill issue
For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.
hello hello! As promised the tattoo reveal.
I survived getting half my sleeve lined but boy am I sore. Tattoos on your hand are the absolute pits. Like no joke, hand tattoos are rough my guys. 10/10 do not recommend, but I'm doing it because it looks cute LOL.
This tattoo will be a tea themed sleeve. Featured on this half: hibiscus, chamomile, green tea leaves, raspberries + raspberry leaf, and lemons. I have another appointment in December and January to get the shading done but for now just lines!
I did not have tea with this chapter but that is okay- let's get into the notes!
I was so hung up on Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu's relationship that I totally forgot an entire war is brewing. Well. Here we go LOL
unrelated but important question- what is their ship name???
Okay we are starting the chapter strong with SQQ's gay panic LOL Re: SQQ lying to himself, the reader, and the gods about him actually meaning that he missed the light of his life LBH p241
These two!!!!! "Then why didn't you come look for this master inside the dream realm" p242
"Whenever Shizun is at Cang Qiong Mountain" Luo Binghe said quietly, "When Shizun is with other people, he always smiles so happily. So I thought you wouldn't miss me". p243 This guy is the absolute master manipulator or he just requires unlimited amounts of reassurance. Either way My HEART!
The cat and mouse game at this point is wild. Really Shen Qingqiu needs to figure his shit out because the "accidental" flirting is horse shit. p245
ššššššš "Why does it sound like i've become your father" p246. NO THANKS. But also no wonder it feels weird as fuck- SQQ does not want to be LBH's daddy (in that way).
OOP! FINALLY. Luo Binghe is totally sus about SQQ's knowledge about the future and other things he really shouldn't know. I really hope it's revealed that he is from another world and Luo Binghe is chill with it. p248
Liu Qingge walks into any room in which SQQ was seemingly alone: p250
This is a side note but I really like Qi Qingqi, this woman is fierce as fuck. Like no nonsense I would 100% trust her with my life, death, and rebirth. I do suspect that she doesnt play a large role in the story but I wish she was present more. I do totally want to eventually read some fics with her in them because she is such a badass. p254
Dang! So the realm merging begins! I am sad though that they don't want SQQ to go, but I get it; he keeps running away or getting grievously injured. Also it's so weird that no one is really questioning how he has this much knowledge of future events, they just kind of accept it and run with it LOL (except Luo Binghe who has done the most questioning). pp256-257
Xuan Su is so fucking cool!!!!! p257
Well I am sure that LBH reputation points will increase now that he's saved Zhao Hua Monastery! p260 Thank fuck too, because I really wasn't seeing a positive end game for him and SQQ if he wasn't able to turn his reputation around.
This cheeky guy LOL "Shizun I have missed you, it's been so long" like the fool wasn't sitting in his lap the night before LOL pp261-262
SO AWKWARD LOL. LBH telling everyone who is important that he only cares for SQQ and will only do what SQQ wants him to do and will do absolutely anything for him. Meanwhile SQQ: . I DIED: "Peak Lord Shen has truly raised a good disciple. He's become our cultivation world's tremendous fortune." Though he said "raised a good disciple" the tone was no different from the way he might say "married a good husband." pp262-263
Well. I thought it was embarrassing before, but then we get hit with the "Luo Binghe nodded solemnly. "Yes." His face spread into a smile. "And Shizun is mine.". p265
I really love every conversation between SQH and SQQ. The understanding they have and the banter is so good pp266-267
LOL LBH : I am sooooo tired, let me fly with you? p268
LBH really is shameless! The public hand holding!!! Now it makes me want to read fics from LBH POV- we get SQQ this entire time, but I want to see what LBH has going on in there LOL. p269
uhm uhm uhm maybe,, SOMETHINF angsty Y/n x Twst Character because Iām craving angst :33
prompt; Y/n adores [TWST Character], and [TC] ignores it. Ignores all of Y/nāa affections. As time passes Y/n slowly loses all of those feelings and then [TC] starts gaining feelings for Y/n. They know, they know itās too late. But they need You, they canāt let go of you.
Characters?? ;; Riddle, Azul, Kalim OR one of them! I know ur suuper busy so I donāt wanna pressure you that much. Itās okay if you make the story short, I donāt care! Iām just happy you took the time to read this! Take caaareee š«¶š«¶
āšanon (the first one to comment on ur recent post wink wink)
Jellyfish Flow to Tide, Never to Heart
A/n: I wonāt lie, One of my favorite angst prompts has always been the āNoticed too lateā plot device, the idea of what couldāve been had you seen it earlier is so heart-wrenching to me (ą²”āøą²”) Also, thank you for the take care comments!! You guys are so sweet <3
Pairing: Azul Ashengrotto x Reader, Ft. Jade Leech
Warnings: Angst,You fall in love with someone else when he realizes his feelings, Jadeās a cuck, Jealousy, Attempted Kissing, Azuls very pathetic in this one, Spelling errors
Youāre sat in front of Azul as he diligently counts this months expenses and gains. It looks mostly like complicated math, butā¦ youāve been looking into accounting in hopes of Azul looking at you the same way you do to him.
You were the first one to check up on Azul after his overblot, the twins a close second. Nonetheless, you were still first. Youāre the one who attempts to genuinely talk to the real Azul, not the suave ābenevolentā businessman he presents himself as.
Yet youāre attempts to pursue fall flat each time.
āWould you like to schedule a meeting? Is that why youāre here?ā his cerulean eyes gaze over his glasses to take a glance at you, his eyes searching for a reason to your presence, thought he doesnāt find one, as you donāt have one.
Except to see him.
āIā¦ I wantā¦!ā
āPease make it quick Jellyfish, I have other attendants to meet.ā Jellyfish, a name he assigned to you at the detail of your deamenour. Venomous, yet pretty to look at.
It makes you heart float like one.
But thereās not time for that. In your desperation, you make a choice you should never resort to, but in your defense, itās what came to mind first.
āIā¦! I wanna make a contract with youā¦!ā
The business man in him perks up at the suggestion, but falls back down to earth when he remembers you donāt have much to offer. But, there is one thing.
āMy benevolence has left me besseeched, tell me what you want, and iāll tell you my exchange.ā
āGo on a daā¦ hangout.ā you quickly save yourself from a straightforward confession, only narrowly doging through the little piece of anxiety with fear.
āā¦ Thatās all?ā
āThatās all.ā
His cautious reply reminds you of when you first visited him in the infirmary. You were rooted to the side next to his bed, insistent on seeing him to the end of his treatment.
It was admittedly a pain to him, having you spout endless positivity his way, placing your hands on his skin to help ease any injuries he catered from his overblot. You touch was soft, gentle, a stark contrast to the dark ink that cradled him deep within. Itās unsettling how very out of touch you are to the group of students at Night Raven College.
When he awoke from his long sleep, the feeling of a warm palm enveloping his own made him quirk an eyebrow, his vision squinting to look down at your face nuzzled into his skin, only being strirred by the touch of a single finger flicking you awake.
āYouāll have to pay me a good fortune in order to use me as your pillow.ā
āToo bad iām broke.ā you already know heās gonna offer you to grace him with a different reward, but your expectations are proven false when he only sighs, sinking into the plush pillow under him.
He hasnāt let you go yet. His warm limb, typically adorned with a leather glove, is bare, naked possibly. Holding hands with him could even be scandalous. This sense of vulnerability made you wonder, just what is the true Azul like? Youāve seen a glimpse behind that counterfeit display of his, but not enough to truly gauge him.
āAzul, we should go out.ā
āā¦ How direct.ā He thinks youāre joking. āWe can do that when you wish to form another contract with me.ā But youāre not.
āAww, and I thought youād changeā¦ā You werenāt kidding, but you play off of him as if you were. āAre you sure youāre as benevolent as you say?ā The door behind you quietly creaks open, neither you nor the aquatic patient notice the sound.
āMy, itās rude to be mean to a recovering patient you know.ā
āThis recovering patient seems well enough to start scamming though huh?ā
āNot scamming, just business.ā Those four words, were the second moment that stirred your interest in Azul. It was then, you vowed to become closer to the man you hold hands with in that room.
Youāre ready for whatever piece of skepticism heāll trade you. He only pays you a sigh before snapping his fingers, the familar golden scroll coming into view.
āFor 3 months, iāll accompany you in these outings, providing for the funds necesary, though, with my benevloence, this deal can only be broken when youāre satisfied with my service. In return, I want the plant Crowley has been secretly cultivating within your dorm.ā
āā¦ Thoseā¦? Arenāt those used in love potionsā¦? What do you need that for?ā
āSomeoneās been paying attention in classā kind of. Itās more so enamor rather than love.ā His gloved hand airs the scroll forwards, the thin slip falling into place, your eyes scanning for any sign of vague wording. You may have a deeply festered infatuation for him, but that doesnāt mean youāre foolish enough to dive in without warning.
āSame thing. Still doesnāt answer why you need it.ā
āWeāll save it, for a rainy day of course!ā
Youāre not sure if he means for himself, or for a client. Either way, you got what you wanted.
āYāknowā¦ I know I asked to hangout, but I wasnāt expecting you to go all outā¦ā your bottom awkwardly shifts on the cushioned chair beneath you, the leather squeaking at your movement.
āNonsense, I only provide the best.ā Yes, because the best, is the Mostro Lounge all empty.
Itās deserted, but you can see the effort he went through for it. The lights are dimmed, and the table youāre both sat at is covered with a pretty tablecloth, readily made food adorning the surface. Even the man on the other side of the table is dressed in a fancy suit, different from his typical cafe uniform.
You thought it was just gonna be talking about regular mundane things, not an expensive dinner for heavens sake. You feel so out of place inside, still adorning your loose fitting pajamas.
āThe bestā¦? Iām not sure, wouldāve been the best if I dressed for the occasionā¦ā
āWhy? I want you to be comfortable, besides, you look quite nice all the time.ā You donāt want his words to fluster you, yet you canāt stop the creeping warmth that invades your face at his statement.
āThen, I think you should change out of that suit and join me.ā Itās his turn to track back, his eyes slightly widening before flaling back into their usual shape.
āThat would be improper.ā His hands stiffen when you reach out towards him, your warm palm now rubbing circles into his skin, slowly bringing the limb to your face.
āThan lets be improper together.ā
In this moment, Azuls not sure feeling what rushes through his hearts. All he knows, is that it tightens in his chest so hard he might as well stop breathing. The logical part of him though shoves such a heart wrenching pain away, locking it deep down so its ugly head isnāt allowed to rear back at him.
Itās vulnerable, too close. He wonāt fall for such a foolish trap. He wonāt stuff himself into that octopot anymore.
āI donāt think we should.ā Your soft hands are quick to let go of him, your body sinking into your chair at his words. Heās about to chase after the heat from your palms before remembering it was him who chased you away.
āYouāre right, sorryā¦ā He wishes he had worn his glasses, maybe then he wouldnāt see the way you look so hurt right across from him. Itās quick, but you seem to recover fast from his rejection, smiling as you clap your hands together. āI should get to know the real Azul before he allows himself to be so informal around me!ā
āYou jump back quickly donāt youā¦ā
āIf I didnāt, I wouldnāt have stayed with you the entire time you were in the infirmary would I?ā Youāre right. He wasnāt exactly the most welcoming when receiving your attention, yet you stayed until he began softening up and finally letting you help tend to him. It reminds him of right now, even though he just bluntly shot your attempt of befriending him down, youāre still being so happy. Your smile falters for a moment, eyes looking down at him before speaking. āI wasnāt lying. I want to know the real Azul.ā
Heās silent. Why would you want to know the him thatāsā¦ Just utterly patheticā¦.?
āI wish you good luck on your endeavorsāā
āBut, you donāt believe in luck.ā
āAh, so you remembered that?ā Heās taken a back for a second time of the night.
āI told you I wanted to know you, it makes sense I would, wouldnāt it?ā
āI suppose it does.ā
āIt does.ā You parrot his words, as if theyāre your favorite flavor and youāre attempting to savor the taste. Azul secretly wishes you would stop smiling already. Itās making his hearts hurt.
āYouāve made me curious Jellyfish, why do you want to know me so bad?ā He watches as your expression contorts, first in shock, next in confusion, and finally in defeat.
āIā¦ Iām not sureā¦ Well maybe becauseā¦?ā I liked you before you even overblotted? No way, too direct. āAh! Because I just wanna!ā
āā¦ Youāre much too broad in your answers,ā he pours you a glass of sparkling water into your glass cup. āIf you wish to know a method of elongating the truth, I happen to know quite a few.ā Of course he doesā¦
āLet me hear them then, Cephalo.ā
āAh, well if you ask so kindly Iām inclined to agree. ā he scoots his chair in as he instructs you through his ways of scam.
A few minutes pass before you take a chance at his lesson of spinning the truth, inhaling before speaking.
āI think this opportunity would be great so I can confess to the guy I like.ā
āMy and who could the mystery man be?ā
ā¦ You didnāt think this far ahead.
But maybe, this could work in your favor.
āI like yāā
A loud clang is sounded on the table as a covered tray is practically slammed onto the wooden surface.
āJadeā¦! Youā¦! If this table has a scratch on it I hope you realize thatās coming out of your next checkā¦!ā
āAh, forgive me Azul, I seemed to have trippedā Did he really? That seemed way too hard to have been on accidentā¦ Jade resumes to his full height, his smile lacking the usually conniving it usually does when he looks at you before turning back to Azul. āYou told me to intervene when the clock strikes midnight.ā
Youāre ready to reach for your phone to check the time, slyly being stopped by Jades gloved hand gripping you wrist, his free finger pointing towards the clock on the wall.
Has it really been that long alreadyā¦?
āSo it seemsā¦ Unfortunately, weāll have to call this hangout off. I wish you a safe travel backāā
āThereās no need, I shall accompany them back home.ā
ā¦
You and Azul are both silent at the proposition.
āUhm, Iām okay Jade. Itās late; you should probably go to sleepāā
āI insist.ā Itās not like you wouldnāt enjoy companyā¦ Youāre just, a bit afraid of Jadeā¦ You look back at Azul, his countenance not giving you any sort of hint on whether or not you should take his offer. Without realizing, your hand is slowly lifted up towards Jades face, his form slightly bowing as a promise is spoken on his lips. āDo not worry, I just wish to stand by your side.ā
You have a gnawing suspicion those spoken words mean much more than he lets on.
It isnāt until youāre in the comfort of your bed you check your phone.
Itās 11:27 pm.
Why was the clock ahead of time?
The lights of your dorm shine bright on your skin, further displaying your beauty to Azuls eyes. Your soft breaths carefully enevlop the room, each one sounding like a music note.
His elbow props his head up from the pillow, your body never leaving his visage. He carefully allows his fingers to ghost of the skin of your arm, smiling when your eyes begin to flutter open.
ā... You... Let me sleep...ā quiet laughs escape him when you turn over and lift the sheets to shield yourself from the man next to you.
āOnly 5 minutes, we did plan this entire day, canāt let it go to waste right?ā Your hand emerges from beneath the blanket, waving him off before retreating back into your cocoon. Azul sighs before letting his arms wrap around you, enveloping your body as he rests his head on yours. His voice is soft, sweet, like heās attempting to coo you out of your protective layer and back into reality. āWould you prefer spending our entire day in bed? I donāt mind but that would mean we donāt get to go out to eat like we penned.ā
He watches as you flip over the covers and practically fall off the mattress, his arms reflexively reaching out to catch you.
āWell come on! Youāre a busy businessman it doesnāt do you any good to stay in bed!ā His smile reaches his lips for once, not the typical cunning smile he trades when making deals, a true genuine smile of joy.
Wait, when did he become so enamored with you?
Heās frozen in place, only watching you get ready in a hurry, clothes flying in the air as they stray across your shared bedroom floor.
Shared?
āā¦ Why are you gawking at me like that? Surely my husband has seen me get ready enough times to not be so entranced.ā Your clothes are loosely fit to your body, not yet fully on your skin.
Husband?
āI donāt think so, itāll have to be at least your last day on twisted wonderland before that happens. By then, Iāll be too focused on all of you.ā Youāre sat on the floor, watching him slowly walk over to you, his hand caging your cheek as he leans down into you.
Your lips are mere centimeters apart, your mouth slightly parted when soft lips ghost over your own.
āā¦ Am I really that interesting to you?ā Your words are hushed. If you werenāt in the comfort of your room, he wouldāve never heard those syllables. Yet, thatās not the case, because itās you two, only you two.
āYou always have been.ā He closes the distance, his eyes fluttering shut when he leans into the warmth of your lips, only stopping when a quick jolt of energy shoots up his spine.
He never got the chance to feel you.
ā¦
Azul wakes up to the sight of his empty desk.
āOh my, I was just about to wake you up from such a sweet dream.ā Jade is stood in front of the table, his gloved hand placed over his heart. āYou seemed to be calling so sweetly for [Name].ā That smile of his makes Azuls eye twitch.
āIgnoring your brazen care for privacy, what do you need Jade?ā His once unkempt appearance is back to its natural state, his glasses corrected and his hair no longer disheveled.
āCoincidentally, itās about your dear dream lover.ā
ā¦
āWhat about them?ā
āHas [Name] ever mentioned an Ideal Date?ā This endearment makes Azul finally take notice of the bouquet of flowers Jade has hidden in his concealed hand. Coincidentally, both your favorite kind, and your favorite color. Since when did he have the knowledge to such info.
āā¦ If they did, I wouldnāt tell you.ā His reply doesnāt stir anything in Jade, and if it did, it certainly is concealed well enough to not peak through any part of him. That slick smile doesnāt leave the eels mouth, his head only tilting to signal any sign of disappointment.
āHow unfortunate.ā He takes a bow before turning heel, the bouquet now on full display to Azul. Thereās a letter neatly wrapped to the floral, addressed to you.
My dear, Jellyfish.
ā¦
Azul thinks itās foolish. That name was made by him, so why is it coming from Jade too?
Eventually, your summons begin to happen less and less, no more outings for the two of you left to seize. Azul sits in his office, his chin places on his clasped hands as he stares at the door. Papers are no longer neatly piled like they used to be, only scattered around the desk with messed scribbles of what used to be Azul's neat handwriting.
Heās waiting. Heās been doing such a thing for a week, simply because, youāve yet to summon him to your side.
Youāve yet to want him, like you did before.
Heās not sure why heās so fixated on your attention. Before it was just for the business he required from you, each weekly dateā no, you never did call it a date, neither did heā¦ when exactly did he start calling it such an intimate occurrence?
Either way, this arrangement started as a way for you to build up courage for the one you wished to confess to, he started suave, distant, trying his best to embody the mystery man you wished to romance.
Then, at some point, he started filling in the empty placement he left for your suitor, with himself. Instead of trying to be anyone else, he gave you answers to your questions filled with his own character, his favorite foods, his favorite hobbies, his feelings, him, all him.
He gave you all of him, every fragment, every single piece of him he wouldnāt even trust himself with, just for a temporary arrangement. He was a fool, a stupid pathetic cepahlo, how could he just sell out all his cards for thisā¦! It reminds him of his pathetic octo pot, the one he would crawl into in piques of shame.
Heās sure, heād crawl into it right now had it followed him on land.
Youā¦ When he looks at the selfie you took on his phone, a pang sores through the blue blood in his veins. Not his hearts, never those, because you took all three of them when you left him.
He was a fool to not have noticed your affections earlier, had he done so, maybe he wouldnāt need to be locked up in his office, burying his head in his hands at the mere thought of youā
āI insist, it would be improper to let you freeze as I walk perfectly warm next to you.ā
āIām gonna regret this later arenāt Iā¦ā
Azuls quick to push himself off his desk, peeking through the crack of the door, his blue eyes spying an all to familar eel peer back at him, with one of the most fiendish smiles heās ever seen on him.
Truthfully, there isnāt malice behind his smile, if anything, the smile on his lips is the courteous respectful one he always trades people. At the moment though, Azulās current visage skews his expression, turning a respectful act into that of spite.
Heās ready to storm out and dump as much work as possible onto him, heās preparing to do it before halting when he sees you again. Youāre still just as beautiful as you were last week, and the week before. No, you mustāve started glowing more.
Just like a jellyfish.
āJade are we gonna go? If you donāt want to anymore I can just walk alone.ā your hands wraps around his arm, gently pulling him your direction. Enough for him to move, but not enough to force him your way.
āYes, do not worry iām comingāā
āJade, there you are. Iāve been looking for you, our expenses for supplies have remained unaccounted for, that has always been your job has it not?ā The frames of his glasses suffer from the glare of lunge lights, it works in his favor though, without it you wouldāve noticed the sense of hurt in his eyes when he stares at you.
āAh, that is unfortunate timing, I was meant to walk [Name] homeāā
āThan it seems I should accompany them in your place, as you will be busy, very busy, correct?ā Jades thin-lined smile doesnāt give much away for his current countenance, before he takes his leave, he turns towards you and bows, a gently farewell leaving his lips.
āWaitā¦! I should give you back your jacket shouldnāt I?ā
He didnāt even notice you were garnering the eels wear. In fact, when did you start smelling like Jade? The soft smell of herbal tea Azul had rubbed off on you has basically dissipated off your body. Itās like, all traces of him have disappeared from you.
āItās okay, keep it.ā
Azul watches the way you open your mouth to retort Jade, knowing you, heās sure you wouldāve told him āand risk being in debt to you?ā But then your lips close in on themselves and you tug the blazer ever so close to your warmth.
When did Jade become the center of your attention?
Azul beckons you out the door, his hand ready to lay itself on your waist like it once did in the past, but the limb restrains itself without him even commanding to do so.
The walk is silent, save for the footsteps of your shoes clanking against the flooring of their dorm. But, Azuls fine with it, as long as you donāt request for him to do the thing heās been dreading for the past few weeks. He hopes, he prays you wonāt do it. If you donāt, heāll consider such a thing his lucky day.
But then again, when has Azul ever believed in something like luck?
āIām satisfied with the deal we made. Iāll give you those flowers andā¦ we can end this contractāā
āYouāre ready to confess to your mystery love than? Forgive me, but I took to inspecting flowers. Has Crowley forgotten them? It seems theyāre wiltedā¦ What poor unfortunate plants.ā
āWhaā¦? When were you in my dorm Azul?ā
āFloyd enjoys wandering into places that aren't his to be in.ā Azuls fits his glove to his hand, the material stretching over his skin. It seems to you like an act of prim elegance, to him, itās a subtle way of calming his aching, trembling nerves. āYou should know by now the great deal of effort it takes to get him to listen...ā
āWell even then, last time I checked they looked completely healthy!ā
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½And when was that?ā
āā¦ 4 days agoā¦ In my defense theyāre Crowleys responsibility not mine!ā
āYet thereās still some fault to be found in youā¦ā Heās not wrong, unfortunatelyā¦ You put them in as collateral for the contract yet you never took any effort to keep them in prim shape. You stop in your tracks, almost tripping over yourself. Your eyes watch Azul pull a box of tea bags out from his pocket, gently shaking the cube as the bags inside hit the interior. āWhen we get back, do we mind having the discussion over tea?ā
You should be suspicious, but, after all the time spent with him, even if you no longer harbor the feeling you once did for him, you trust him.
āFine, but this better not be some elaborate trick of yours!ā He laughs to it, but provides no further comments.
āSo, about the contractāā youāre ready to lift the tea cups rim to your lips, the golden liquid shining with the light.
āAre you in love with Jade?ā You sputter out the liquid that hadnāt even made its way into your mouth.
āWhaā? Nahhā¦ Wellā¦! Uhmmā¦.ā Your reaction is way too obvious. If you had a cliff anywhere near you, thereās no doubt you wouldāve jumped off in pure embarrassment. āLove isā¦ surely a strong word, letās describe it as more likeā¦ A growing infatuation!ā You bury your head in your hands after ruminating on that rewording. If anything, itās sounds more intimate than loveā¦.
āI see. So then, were you imagining me as him?ā Youāre struck out of your embarrassment, looking back up at the dull blue of his irises.
āNo. I never did.ā You donāt see nor hear it, but the leather of his clothes crunches loudly with the increasing pressure of his fist, slowly tightening.
āAre you sure? This contract is coming to an end, you do not need to hide such details anymoreāā
āOn those dates,ā the word date was already enough to make his posture straighten, the words you later speak only furthering this case.āI imagined you to be you.ā
āā¦ What do you mean?ā
āI liked you back then, Azul.ā
Azul is practically biting his cheek at this revelation, the inside of his mouth salivating with blue blood. Youā¦ You must be joking, it canāt noā¦
āWhā¦ When did youā¦ you stopā¦?ā He thinks he sounds pathetic. Noā¦ he must sound pathetic. His perfectly curated voice is beginning to crack as small slips of voice squeaks escape into his speech.
āWhen it seemed like you didnāt want anyone to see the real you.ā Thatā¦! that was just because he didnāt want you finding the sad pitiful octomer behind this suave personaā¦! He wanted you to fall in love with the version he wanted to be! Not the forlorn octopus he truthfully is and always has beenā¦! āI tried, I really did, to finally have you set free of that wall. I wantedā¦ I wanted to fall in love with the man behind the business. But at some point, itās like, there was no man, only business.ā Your hands scoot over the table, one last time, the lovely feeling of your palms encaging his is felt.
For the last timeā¦
Before you can speak your next sentence, Azul lets words that are far to late to tell you escape him.
āI love you.ā
ā¦
Thereās silence only. You donāt reciprocate the words you longed to hear him say so far ago in the past.
āAnd I loved you, Azul.ā The emphasize on the past tense practically threatens him to spill over on the table and eat himself limb from limb. The sorrowful yet happy smile from you is enough to stop him, but not enough to cease the thought.
He takes a deep breath in before smiling, his once stiff posture melting into the chair.
āWell then, we should finish this tea, I wouldnāt want it to go to waste.ā
āOhā¦! Youāre right.ā The upward turn on your lips as you lift the cup reminds him of your dates. His head turns to the side to finally make a comment on the poor fully curated flowers on the windowsill, the ones that were offered up on your contract.
āTheyāre wilted, yet they still look pretty. Much more, theyāre shaped like jellyfish, arenāt they, Jellyfish?ā You wait for the pink liquid to travel down your throat before replying.
āThey are. That reminds me, why wouldnāt you want them if theyāre wilted?ā
āIn their natural state they provide the effect of admiration and gentle love with the first party they see,ā you quaff the rest of the pink liquid into your stomach, the fruity aftertaste stuck in your mouth. āWhen wilted, the effect isā¦ differntā
āHuh, interesting.ā You tug Jades overcoat closer into your body, his cologne invading your nose. You glance to the window just as Azul is, your eyes tracing over each plant. āHuhā¦ Thereās 9. There used to be 10ā¦ā
āHow peculiarā¦ Perhaps a ghost took it for a rainy day.ā Heās not wrong, they have a tendency to steal snacks, so itās entirely plausible.
āYeah maybe.ā Your phone rings, your fingers slipping the device out of your pocket as you glance at the notification. āJadeās asking me if I want to go on his next mountain hikeā¦ Like, right nowā¦ā
āYou should probably go then.ā You didnāt realize it, but since when has your hand been intertwined with Azuls? But even then, why is this blazer the sweetest-smelling thing youāve ever worn? āYou have a growing infatuation.ā
āYouāre rightā¦ I shouldā¦ā
You donāt know what it is, but your body feels light, hollow even. When you drag yourself up out the door, itās as if your body is simply flowing through a tide.
āThere you are [Name].ā you look up the spot on the floor you were staring at, being met with the pretty sight of Jade in front of you. Yet despite it, you look back at Azul, waving a kind goodbye before setting foot.
You miss the look of fondness he trades you, and in turn, you miss the pure sorrow that tears into his eyes.
When the door shuts, Azuls left at the table, his head turning down into the wood as the smile he dealt you is no longer to be seen, the darkness seemingly surrounding him. Just like it did when he overblotted, exceptā¦
You wonāt be there to comfort him, when heās left in that wretched white bed,
All alone.
A/n: To be honest, I was so conflcited on who should be Azuls love rival in this fic. If I chose Riddle, It would make the fic have two of your requested characters, also Azuls one sides rivarly wouldāve been delicious to write. On the other hand, Jamil who he consistently praises, stealing the one thing he genuinely wanted wouldāve been good. Then I realized, Jade is right there. Azul doesnāt consider Jade above him, if anything theyāre on equal footing, he just tends to take charge more. Which is exactly what confuddles him more, are Jade and himā¦ basicallly not the same person? (theyāre not similar, but Azuls just blinded with grief).
Also, This ended up being way longer than expected (įį£į)Õ
My thoughts on the ending of Danganronpa Despair Time Chapter 2
Man just when I think I can predict what'll happen in Drdt it throws a 180
I'm gonna hide the spoilerly stuff under the read more but first things first of my god... this was great!!! And it also makes me TERRIFIED for chapter 3 because chapter 2 was enough of an emotional rollar coaster, idk if the dev or anyone working on drdt will see this silly post bc a LOT of people have been sharing their thoughts on the ending of chapter 2 but I really enjoyed the ending
And that I don't mind if chapter 3 has a long wait bc my mental health is in shambles after this chapter
Okay now the spoilery stuff!
-First of all, I did find it interesting that the secrets (including David in his joker arc) was a bit of a red herring, the secrets weren't part of the murder/case at all, unless you count the part of Arturo threatening Eden over his secret, but after this trial EVERYONE's laundry has been aired and I wonder if that'll be touched upon in Chapter 3
-I think I've said this before but I love how the dead cast (Xander, Min, Arei, and now Ace) are just constantly mentioned, haunting the narrative, I'm pretty sure they're gonna keep that up
-Teruko having a mental breakdown after this, like homegirl spent ALL of chapter 2 trying to repress her grief over Xander and Min, but now that Arei, Ace, and potentially Levi are dead she ended up cracking, chapter 2 ending with her breaking down in the darkened trial room is heartbreakiiiing
-I read a couple posts before typing this and one of them mentioned that "MonoTV's comment about the most mastermind-y person getting punished" applied to Teruko almost being shot after telling Ace to kill MonoTV (she tried), the foreshadowing of this, like hey guys remember in chapter 1 when Ace was dragged into watching horror movies and he commented they were so scary he could've died from it :))
-Levi's really putting the L in Levi dude cant stop getting injured. but seriously I just wanna know WHY DID HE DO THAT LEVI OH MY GOD. LEVIIII
-MonoTV genuinely scared me, also the implications of who could potentially be running this show is also scaring me. and the implications that they're programmed to run this show until EVERYONE is dead.
-Not Ace's excecution being he gets psychologically tortured until its too much for his heart
-The fact it wasn't related to his talent but it was related to his constant fear of death is just evil.
-Also the way Ace goes out, before the ending I kind of thought his arc was a mirror to Arei's where that while she improved and started to trust some of the others, Ace became more cruel and distrustful, even to those still reaching out to him, he was so scared of dying that he ironically caused his own death by participating in the killing game and killing Arei
-And that he was so scared of dying, yet told MonoTV to go ahead with his execution so that the others could give Levi medical treatment and he even yells at Arturo that he CAN save Levi if he tries, dude in the end did change but sadly like Arei, he died before before being able to fully embrace that change
-also if you want to go more feral over the little details check out the names on the gravestones :))) I know at least ONE of the names is his only friend. And based his line of "I'm gonna have THREE deaths on my hands!" His friend might be deceased and he blames himself for it
-I was thinking "I sure hope the squeamish of the cast aka Charles and Rose shield their eyes during the execution" and then there was Whit's line of telling Charles to cover his eyes when Teruko is about to get shot
-Whit's sprite when the gang realize the elevators are closed is scaring me a little. its also scaring the Whit fans!
-That's all I'm gonna say about the ending, it was emotional and at least Ace was able to have some good moments before his end, I wonder what'll happen with the secrets aftermath including David causing problems on purpose, the cast realizing that the killing game is making them worse, and all the little lore that got dropped.
summary: spencer is eager to go home. to go home to you.
wc: 1.4k
a/n: hi, darlings! it's my first time in a couple of years writing fanfiction, it's been so long!
this blurb is based on the song 'hourglass' by the catfish and the bottlemen. english is not my first language, but here's a little fluffy piece. hope you enjoy it!
warnings: none! maybe spencer is a bit ooc when it comes to his job but i don't care one single bit lol
spencer had left yet again for another case. it was fine, really, you had gotten used to it already since pretty much the day you met ā in the middle of a conversation, he'd excuse himself to pick up a phone call and it was his boss telling him they had to leave immediately to work on another case. it made you immensely proud to think that he was out there saving lives, but utterly worried that he did that by putting himself in danger, often face to face with people whose minds were broken beyond repair.
still, that night felt a little different. the bed felt a little too big, the apartment a little too silent for your liking, even if you often joked about your relationship being kind of a competition of who was quieter between the two of you. he had used derek's phone to send you a message that his phone was not working properly and if there was anything you needed to tell him, you should call morgan and told you not to worry about him, that it was a fairly easy case and not so gruesome compared to many things he had seen and went through. as you laid in bed, you desperately wanted to have someone to hold, to have him to hold. to have him to hold you back.
it was okay, though. you wiped a single tear that you had shed and assured yourself that he would come back at any time, safe and sound, to be a little more with you.
little did you know, a few states over, spencer felt exactly the same way. tossing and turning in bed with dreams of you. waking up next to you, running his fingers through your skin... details of your relationship such as how you cared for him by getting up a little earlier than him every now and then to make him coffee just the way he liked it; the loving post-it notes you placed inside of his coat pockets to remind him of how much you love him through book quotes; the comfort of getting home and being greeted by the smell of your cooking and the sound of your voice singing along to whatever you were listening to; cleaning the kitchen while you talked about your day and how you decided to cook or order whatever you did.
your morning kisses, your afternoon kisses, your evening kisses, your midnight kisses, your horny kisses, your desperate kisses.
you. you. you. you.
he had brought a few files to sort through as an attempt to solve the case faster so that he could go home, run home to you. but he couldn't focus on that for much longer because his mind was flooded and foggy with thoughts of you. he became impatient with himself, for not having control over how much he missed you that night. he felt so out of place because he couldn't reach you and he was overthinking the hushed text about contacting morgan. what a major fuck up.
stepping out of the hotel room, he saw the aforementioned man. "there you are, pretty boy." he greeted, satisfaction seeping out of him, you could tell it even by the way he moved. "got news for you. hotch needs us at the precinct because they got a call. we're going over there." he explained. spencer sighed. "what happened? you seem off."
"nothing." he shook his head lightly. "um... actually... has she said anything?"
"i knew it. you're missing her, pretty boy." derek teased, the ever-present smirk on his face. spencer blushed. "texted a few hours ago to say she misses you and hopes everything is ok. i know you'd like to know that earlier, but i wasn't gonna go to your bedroom to kiss you goodnight." spencer rolled his eyes, but understood why morgan felt like it was unnecessary to reach out to him.
he wasn't the one feeling like a soldier's wife.
after interrogating the unsub, they were able to coax a confession out of him rather quickly. on the jet, after some light teasing from the team about how he was upset from being apart from his lover, spencer reached inside one of his pockets to search for a pen to take notes of the book he was reading, trying desperately to get his mind off of you, but he found one of those post-its instead. it read:
i will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled.
that finally got him to get rid of the frown and replace it with a grin.
[...]
closing the door behind him and taking off his shoes, spencer inhaled deeply. with that, he was able to smell the faint scent of your perfume. maybe you had spent some time curled in his couch. maybe reading, maybe watching something on the tv. scratch that, it was your couch.
he wanted to make it up to you ā he wanted to say sorry for the hurried and careless text. he felt like he needed it so much; he had left you out of his reach because of his poor choice of phone. getting another one was now another priority, sitting between others in a list. every single one of them left his mind as soon as he saw you on the bed you both shared for countless nights, being flooded with a feeling of extreme relief. relief that you were safe and still with him. you were asleep, mouth slightly open and little snores coming out of it every now and then. he couldn't help himself, so he planted a kiss on your forehead before going to the bathroom down the hall.
after showering in the said bathroom ā you joked that the reason you didn't know if you would be in a happy relationship if he showered in the en suite bathroom, he went over to you and climbed in the bed. pulling the covers above his chest, he scooted closer to you to finally feel you close to him, like you were supposed to be at all times. screw work, screw anything else. it felt like he needed comfort more than air.
"mmm. y'home, babe." he heard your sleepy voice as his front body touched yours and his arms circled your frame. then, he looked down to see your weary but happy eyes glancing up at him. he smiled sincerely. "i missed you so much. love you. i'm so happy you're back." you declared, nearly falling back into the dreamland, but not before clumsily wrapping your arms around him.
"i missed you too, baby. a lot. so much. y'don't even know much." he said, kissing the top of your head and inhaling the intoxicating smell of your shampoo. god, he had missed you so damn much. "i'm sorry i was out for a moment."
"'s okay, baby. you're here now. and i love you." with closed eyes, you kissed whatever you could reach: his chest.
"wanna make it up to you."
"you didn't do anything wrong, spence." you chuckled.
"i just wanna catch up on all the time i didn't get to spend together with you." he breathed out, already feeling the effects of his week tiring out his bones. "wanna see you every day. jus' move in with me already."
you chuckled once again, eyes still closed. "whatever you say, baby. i'll say yes. wanna share everything with you."
"i'd say i want it too, but everything i have is already yours. everything that i am. and i'm so happy that you're the one i'm doing this with. you're my favorite person."
it didn't go unnoticed by either of you that, even in your tired state because of the rough week you both had gone through, you still wanted to have a conversation with each other. well, if saying sweet nothings to each other counted as one.
for the record, it did. every moment was sacred.
maybe it was exhaustion, maybe it was excitement, maybe it was happiness, but you couldn't come up with anything better to say. so, as the both of you drifted off, you shared one last smile with your favorite person in the whole world and your tired mind did the talking "for the record, you're my favorite, too." he grinned into your hair. "and i wanna carry all of your children and i wanna call 'em stupid shit."
yo! i actually got my hands on what i think was your old ver of the ask?? apparently the tab was opened sometime when you saved it with small "its ready" text? i'm sending the different parts in in so it isn't forever lost, but i'm super glad i managed to get my hands on it. im guessing you increased the size of the its ready text in a second edit and those parts were lost?? tumblr is just weird i guess.

After The Forest Stone
After the forest stone whenever you would patch them up. You would give them less after cuddles and they hated this.Ā Absolutely hated it with a passion.Ā
"I just healed you. You're gonna be okay," you would say. After all, there wasn't exactly much time to give cuddles and kisses when you were traveling through town.
____________________________
[you wrote an extra line and paragraph! and for flower crown you wrote something similar and had a different ending message]
____________________________
Their eyes went wide and their tails started to excitedly wag. "Aren't you just the cutest kings."
Immediately, they nearly froze. Yes, they were your Kings. They were the Kings of Flower Fruit Mountain. They were your kings... just as you would be their Queen. With that thought they looked up at your head.
You needed your own crown. With little chirps they picked the crowns off their heads. Chuckling as you pouted before hopping up onto your shoulders and placing them on your head.
'Our Beautiful Queen,' they chirped.
Okay so this is my best attempt at it. I hate that Tumblr likes to move my save to drafts to posts so often. Like if I said save to draft then do it!
Anyways I hope you like the little scenes š
I'll be adding more like these into the chapters so these are not all that you'll see of them getting mad at the Artifacts!
Sorry it's shorter than I planned. And it took so long. I hope you enjoy!
____________________________
also sorry about the struggle that this ask caused, did not intend for you to struggle, but i guess it would be hard to write without spoiling things huh?
Eeekk!! The original though I added more to the scene in the second version. I love that this was preserved. š
Thank you for this so much, Crumb! I want to call you Crumb. Is that alright?
Hello lovelies! Bang Chan posted on his Instagram story, which means (drum roll please) š„I get to write a story off the pictures! If you're new here, I like to write short stories based off Chan's photos.
So this one is a bit more delusional, I hope you like it. Honestly, I think it feels rushed but hope you enjoy it. Also, did you get to stay up for his four hour birthday live?? I only saw 30 minutes of it before heading to bed. š But let's jump on into the story, let's go!
Warnings: a tiny bit of cussing, attempted kidnapping (I promise it's not bad but still putting the warning as trigger for any of my readers).
Music recommendation: Beautiful Stranger by Laufey
Work let you go pretty late, having you cover for a few people who called out today. You wanted nothing more than to be home, relaxing in your bed, watching your favorite show after a hot shower.
After gathering your things and heading out the building, you entered the night fresh air, happy it finally stopped raining since it's been raining for the past three days.
Making your way over to the bus stop you felt as if someone was following you, your gut feeling was making you sick, afraid to even look. The eyes felt directly on you and it could be felt burning your body.
The second you turned your head this guy says hello right next you, making you jump in your spot.
"Go away!!" You screamed about to take off running but he grabbed your hand.
"I just want to talk." You shook free of his grip, quickly running away from this random human.
As you were trying to run to the bus stop, you saw another man with a backpack exiting a building close by. You thought he might be able to help.
"Excuse me sir," you tapped him on the shoulder, before hunching over out of breath. You tried to find air so you could explain the situation but before you could the man ran up and grabbed your arm.
"Do you know her?" The man with the backpack and black beanie said.
The man who had a grip on your arm looked at him angrily, "I do, who are you?"
"I'm her boyfriend, who the fuck are you?"
You looked at the kind stranger with large eyes, thankful for his lie, until you were able to really look at him. You couldn't believe who was in front of you. A man who's music saved your life, with the help of seven others, was standing right in front of you.
The man panicked and let go of your arm, running away from you both.
"Are you okay?" The kind stranger asked.
"I am now...thank you," you said nervously while your heart was pounding against your chest. You didn't know if it was from almost being taken away or because of THE Bang Chan standing in front of you.
"Are you just leaving work??" He sounded concerned, noticing your attire and bags in your hand."
"Yeah..."
"This late??"
"We had some people call off so I had to help do their work. But your leaving work late too?"
"I am but you shouldn't be out here on your own."
"I know but it's work.. what can you do?" You shrugged your shoulders. "Anyways, thank you for that." You were about to walk towards the bus stop when you heard his feet hitting against the concrete before he reached your side.
"Are you heading to the bus?"
"Yeah..."
"I'll come with you."
"What??" You snapped your neck, looking at him as if he grew two heads. You couldn't believe he would offer to accompany you.
He could see your wary stare, smiling to show he means no harm towards you and genuinely wants to make sure you're okay.
"If you don't want me to...."
You figured he could provide you company and safety on your bus ride home. "No no, I'd love it if you did," you said with a nervous smile because you didn't think to ever run into a member of Stray Kids, let alone them joining you on the bus.
"So where do you work at?" Chan asked, trying to make small talk before the bus arrived.
You told him of your job and how you came to South Korea for it and started talking as if you guys have been friends for years.
The conversations continued on the bus as you both couldn't help but laugh at something he said. You were having your real life Channie's room and thought you would be waking up any second from this dream.
He was wondering why you didn't recognize him. He thought maybe you were being polite but either way he was enjoying his time with you -talking about whatever random thing crosses each other's minds.
"Well this is my stop." You said after looking out the window and noticing the familiar buildings appearing in view.
Both of you wanted to ask for each other's numbers but it's as if you were the same person - being too shy to ask the other. So getting up from your seat, you bowed to the kind stranger you just met, but felt as if you've known for years, and headed off the bus. You did one quick look behind your shoulder to see him sitting there waiting for you to enter your building.
He flashed a cute dimple smile as you turned around to open the door. You bowed one more time and smiled, feeling different emotions but choosing to be excited about meeting a member of Stray Kids.
...
A couple days go by and it's finally Sunday, where you planned to lay around the house, doing nothing before work the next day.
You were watching TV when a notification popped up on your phone screen that was Bang Chan going live.
Quickly turning YouTube on your TV, up popped Chan's beautiful bare face that you saw the night he saved you. Your heart began to flutter, a smile snuck onto your face without your realizing it as you listened to him talk.
He was doing Channie's room like he usually does until he started talking about how he met an incredible person a couple nights ago. "They were really nice and the conversations we had made me feel like a real person, felt genuine. I wish to see them again."
Staring at the TV, with no movement and no breathing, you couldn't wrap your mind around what he said. What the hell??
"I hope to run into them again," he said with a huge smile. "Maybe tomorrow."
Now do I risk staying late again for him or go home without seeing him again? You rubbed your temples gingerly with your fingers, trying to come up with a solution - deciding to stay late tomorrow that way you can cross paths with him again.
For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.
Good morning!
Weird time for me to post this as I normally post at night- I know, but I am off work today. The reason for no tea, no work, and only water this morning is because I am getting tattooed this afternoon!
I'm getting a full sleeve in parts; today we are outlining half of the sleeve. I will for sure for sure post photos in my next chapter! I'm so stoked. Oh I did not mention it, but It's a sleeve dedicated to tea so really tea in spirit with today's chapter :P
Let's get into Shen Jiu:
oh god. He went from one dream realm to another dream realm! p205
Oh shit; meng mo really saved his soul from being torn up in that other dream. p205
Honestly SQQ, I too would want to immediately see LBH after that experience. If anything, I would just want to make sure he was still the nice LBH and not the horror show I had just experienced in there. p206
ah! Meng Mo did interfere with Qiu Haitang in the mausoleum. I was wondering what all was happening with her hysterics in there; but dang that was dark showing her SJ's memories. Poor girl had her entire worldview switched p208
I am not emotionally ready to know what SJ went through. Ugh, here we go anyways.
Okay but I kind of really feel bad for Qiu Haitang- the girl really didnt know what was happening. her own brother from the very first day hid the mistreatment. SJ was really treated so fucking awfully. :( p213
Not his name being the number of him being trafficked :(((((( p213
Damn. I was really hoping we would find out who SJ's friend was. Though I do feel like it is someone we know already. I feel like it's Liu Qingge (don't actually tell me though!) -> we will find out later I suspect. p217
The way I exhaled at "You don't even count as human, and you want to be an immortal?" p219
I felt so bad during that "murder scene". Like fuck, I don't even blame SJ, when it all started. He finally killed the guy after almost a decade of abuse and he was once again trying to protect himself from harm. p221-222
Well. The bloodbath after his initial escape and slew of murders was a little unhinged LOL. p223
ooof. "no more waiting". p225
LOL this memory just turned into the plot of holes there. A bunch of children digging holes without end. Is this where SJ finds luo Binghe??? p227
Okay yes he did find him here and he was already peak master at this point (not for long but still). p228
I am glad that the generational naming convention was explained! Similar to MDZS jin's, the Cang Qiong Mountain sect names generationally. I was really wondering why everyone had "Qing". yay for explanation. p229
What the heck. Liu Qingge is rude as fuck: Shen Jiu said mildly, "Good talent doesn't guarantee success." Liu Qingge didn't even grace him with a sideways glance. "But certainly more success than a nobody who only began proper cultivation at age sixteen." p230
I'm having complicated feelings about OG SJ. Like -> his story is fucked and he was very badly damaged as a child, HOWEVER him treating Luo Binghe the way he did and just creating a cycle of violence is not okay. :( p234
My HEART! Luo Binghe's baby tears :(( p235. also him only crying the first day being 'punished' and when he had to bury his mom himself. what the fuck.
Bro that's so awkward for SQQ; waking up to find out he was crying and calling for LBH in his unconscious state and everyone knowing about it. p237
LOL SQQ not upset that LBH is manhandling him but that LBH said his eyelashes were long XD p239
<SCREAMING>
That last page! AAAAAAH. Him admitting he really missed LBH while hugging uuuugh.
you talk about finding channel of a pretty girl domming a guy wearing unbelievably flat cock cages under a post that asks about the highlight of everyone's day one (1) time
āIām bad, Suzuki,ā he said to Shou the night before Shouās dad attempted to take over the world.
The noise in his head rattled, shaking the bars of the prison Ritsu was trapped in. He wanted out. He wanted out so badly that he was ready to scratch and bite and claw his way through.
āWell,ā Shou finally said, peeling the wall back and shushing the noise in Ritsuās head, āIām the one who burnt your house down. If youāre bad thenā¦ so am I.ā
Ritsu sniffed, swiping at his eyes. āYeah?ā
āYeah!ā Shou sounded excited now, the blanket he was under rustling as if he were sitting up. āWe can be bad together!ā
[or, ritsu doesn't know how to process guilt and wants someone to tell him that he's a bad person]
