Author’s note: Happy Valentine’s Day! May we never forget who my OG ult bias is :)

It was days like this that Vernon was convinced you were perfect for him.

He glanced down at you, flopped on your back across his lap, fidgeting absently as you watched the movie playing on the screen. You glanced up at him, noticing his focus shift to you, and smiled sweetly before looking back at the movie again.

It had been your idea to stay in tonight, something you’d suggested a couple weeks ago.

“Everyone’s always going out and doing stuff on Valentine’s Day,” you’d texted. “Way less exhausting for us if we get takeout and watch like Star Wars or something.”

He’d agreed without extra thought, glad you felt the same. Why bother doing something out of the ordinary when you’d both rather be doing what you usually did?

And he didn’t normally second-guess himself on these things; he didn’t need to. Being with you had always felt as easy as breathing to Vernon. You’d never needed grand gestures or elaborate plans out of him, had always liked him for exactly how he liked to be, unassuming and quietly affectionate. It felt relieving, especially after all the idol pressures at work. Being with you was like taking a deep breath of fresh air after tense, short breaths all day.

But he’d heard his groupmates talking about Valentine’s Day plans as they spent time together in the studio and the practice rooms, workshopping their late spring comeback. His groupmates with partners were taking them places for Valentine’s Day, giving them things, some of them planning the day out with detail.

“I’m not making a habit of it,” Mingyu had said after sharing some of his plans. “But it’s a day specifically made to be special, right? An excuse to get creative, to give them something they haven’t wanted to ask for. So I’m going for it.”

And Vernon had pondered, absently at first, whether you’d want anything like that from him. Something special on a special day. Then he began wondering if there were things you wanted to do or try or have that you hadn’t wanted to ask for before. But that was silly; you’d never implied anything like that, so he was fine.

Probably.

The closer to the day he’d gotten, the less sure he became of that. The less sure he became of himself. Being with you was easy as breathing…but was it too easy, too effortless? Was he trying hard enough for you?

“Would you be interested in going to this one place tomorrow night?” He’d texted you yesterday night on a whim.

“Oh, did you want to go someplace?” You’d responded.

No. “Yes.”

You’d sent “👀” in response, and he’d given in. You always seemed to be on to him.

“So there isn’t anything different or more interesting you’ve secretly been wanting to do and haven’t told me about?”

“Vernon 😂” you’d texted. “If I wanted to do something else with you I would talk to you about it like a normal person, I promise ❤️”

He’d gone to bed relieved. And then, of course, woken up second-guessing it again.

“Let’s try it out anyway,” he’d texted you around lunchtime, watching some of his groupmates getting plans together and sending partners things. “Just to say we did, and then we can come home and do what we always do.”

And he’d been so busy mentally preparing himself to be around people, to be in a more formal atmosphere, to impress you so much that you’d never doubt that he cared, that he never realized you’d never replied.

He walked into your apartment to find it dark, only to flip the nearest switch and come face to face with a massive blanket fort in the living room.

“Um…babe?” He called, toeing off his shoes and drinking in the fort. It was rather impressive; how long had this taken you?

“Don’t you look nice.”

He looked down to see you sitting at one of the entrances to the fort (because yes, it did look like there was more than one), cross-legged, donned in one of his hoodies.

A sheepish smile played at the corners of his mouth. “So, uh…what’s all this?”

He couldn’t remember the last time you looked this shy. “Um…happy Valentine’s Day?”

He blinked. “Oh?”

“I know it’s not exactly going out somewhere,” you said, words rushing out like you were afraid he’d stop you. “But it just…seemed more us? And look, I even—”

You leaned back through the fort entrance, rustling something plastic, then re-emerged with a stuffed plastic bag in hand. “I got takeout. It’s from that one place you mentioned, since you sounded interested in it.”

He raised his eyebrows, letting the information slowly sink in, a tension he hadn’t noticed in his chest beginning to loosen.

You sighed and set the takeout bag down, standing and approaching him slowly. “I should’ve said something, maybe. It’s just…I dunno, it sounded like you got in your head a little, because I know you sounded happy about just staying in a couple weeks ago, and I thought I’d put together something you might actually like doing, just in case you wanted the option—”

You cut off as he scooped you into a tight hug.

“I fucking love you,” he sighed, and it was like he could breathe again. No going out, no big impressive gestures, no frills or flair. Just getting to be with you, as him.

God, he loved getting to be himself with you.

He felt you sigh and grin against his shoulder before wrapping your arms around him, hugging him back. “Love you too, Vern’.”

He basked in the soft warmth of you for a long, long moment, certain the feeling of you in his arms was his favorite.

“Am I allowed in the fort all fancy?” He mumbled, remembering he’d dressed nicer in anticipation of going out.

You laughed. “You left some practice clothes here last week that I washed, if you want to change.”

“Amazing. You thought of everything.” He leaned back, gazing at you, fond. God, he loved you so bad. He was truly fucked.

Your lopsided smile was a mix of bashful and affectionate. “Wanna eat and watch some Star Wars in my badass blanket fort?”

“Hell yeah I do,” he said, a grin spreading over his face. “How long did that thing even take you?”

“Literally all day. Please love it.”

“It’s the best in the whole world,” he reassured you, pressing a kiss to your forehead before letting you go to find his practice clothes.

There was something truly wonderful, something safe and pleasant, knowing the whole world was outside your apartment, bustling around doing things, and that Vernon could be in here away from all of it with the only person worth being not-alone with on Valentine’s Day. He loved the comfort of his practice clothes that now smelled like you, the coziness of your blanket fort decked out in fairy lights, the ease and interest of trying and swapping bites of the new takeout with you.

It was that it was all you, he thought, not bothering to concentrate on the movie when you’d finished eating, preferring to drink you in, instead. You made all of this the preferable option. You made some of Vernon’s favorite things better. It felt almost too good to be true, that he could have something so wonderful, the happiness of you with him. And now, just sitting together in contented silence, he didn’t see how it could get much better.

You stretched and shifted your hips as you watched the movie, and Vernon kept a steadying hand on your hip, feeling the sliver of skin between your joggers waistband and his hoodie—and something else.

He paused, glancing down at your hip. Gingerly, he moved his hand enough to reveal a small slip of lace.

“What’s this?” He asked, thumbing along the fabric again, fascinated.

“Oh,” you said, and when he glanced up at your face he was met with a cat-like grin. “Nothing. Hardly anything. Here, look.”

He felt his throat go dry when you tucked your thumbs into the waistband of your joggers and lifted your hips, wriggling until the fabric bunched around your knees. You leaned back, resting your hands above your head, the hem of his hoodie riding up to give him a better view. A pair of pretty, sheer lace underwear rode low on your hips, tinted in his favorite color.

“Christ,” he muttered under his breath, reverent. He traced his thumb along the lacy band again and tried to remember how to breathe.

“Nice, right?” Vernon could hear you smiling but couldn’t tear his eyes from the newly exposed sight. “And it may be part of a set.”

He nearly choked on his own tongue. Fuck. He glanced up at you, eyebrows raised.

“…Is that so,” he rasped.

You nodded, looking especially pleased with yourself, then sat up.

“It’s just that, well,” you mused as you maneuvered yourself to straddle his lap, “you sounded like you were interested in some variety today, and I don’t always get a chance to be fancy like this, so I thought, you know, why not?”

Why not, indeed. God. This was variety Vernon could get behind. He settled his hands at your hips, sliding them up beneath his hoodie to rest at your waist.

You grinned, leaning in until you were nose to nose. “If you’re really good I’ll let you take it off of me. You can be good for me, can’t you, Vern’?”

“I fucking love you,” he groaned, tilting his chin up just as you leaned in and kissed him hungrily.

Turns out there was a way tonight could get better, after all.

The movie was long over by the time the two of you relaxed again, piled in a tangle of limbs amongst strewn pillows in the blanket fort. Vernon stroked gently along your bare spine, sighing.

“I really didn’t put in any effort for you tonight, did I.”

You snorted. “Babe, we’re not allowed to have sex like that for you to say you’ve put in no effort for me.”

“No, I mean,” he said, abashed grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Just like, in general today. I was going to impress you, I swear I was, I just…”

You propped your chin on his sternum, frowning at him. “Vernon, you don’t need to impress me. You’ve already got me. You got me without the impressing, to be honest.”

He glanced down at you. “I just don’t want you to think I don’t care enough, or that I’m not willing to make any effort for you, or something awful like that.”

Your face softened into something warm. You leaned up and pressed the gentlest of kisses to his mouth.

“I don’t think that. I could never think that. You were willing to get fancy and go out, things you don’t like doing on your own time, just for me. I’d be stupid not to see that for what it is.”

He smiled then, lifting his hand from your back and stroking his fingers through your hair.

“Love you,” he whispered.

You grinned. “Sap…love you, too.”

[kriize]

honestly, this entire situation is just so sick.

please, please, please, don’t rope the group, or any for that matter, into this situation. don’t try to make them all out to be the monster he is by saying “they had to know” “maybe they all do” because we don’t know that, and judging from the way the members instantly unfollowed him, and deleted any and all traces of him from their accounts (tyong) is just a visual expression on how disappointed they are in him. rightfully so… imagine your friend, that you grew up with, met your family, siblings, someone that you consider family. was exposed for doing monstrous things like these. i know they’re so, so, disappointed and disgusted.

i am now a proud ot8 stan, and i stand by that.

i never have (on this account, since it is riize centered) written for him or his, now previous, group. and if i do in the future, just know that he well never, ever, be included, or mentioned along with the members or the group, which is why his name is solo in the tags, he does not represent nct.

he will not get away unscathed from this, there’s no way. he’s completely ruined a girl & mother’s lives, since he grew up with a single mother, you’d think he’d know better and want to treat women better…

i wish for nothing but for him to rot in a cell til his last day on this earth. and i seriously hope that all the victims heal and seek justice.

i seriously hope all my fellow czennies don’t blame themselves, we couldn’t have possibly predicted this, he was quite literally a wolf in sheep’s clothing. little did we know he’d been doing this for the past 6 going on 7 years, maybe even longer.

this seriously makes me question everything about him, when he’s around kids, women, anyone.

he’s a predator, and i really hope that no one is trying to justify none of his actions. if you are, seek help.

he’s a genuinely fucked up individual, and besides the fans, i really want to know how the members are taking this. imagine your oldest friend, a brother figure, someone who you’ve been surrounded by for about (more for some) than half of your life. has just been exposed for something like this, i would want to beat his ass myself, i probably would.

honestly, i cannot stress this enough, we. don’t. know. these. idols. personally.

everything that they give us is a separate identity, the real them is almost never shown. you have your few real ones, ones who you know wouldn’t hurt anyone, or at least that’s what it seems like, for example, hongjoong of ateez (one of my ults, also one of the biggest green flags) supports women, lgbtqia youth, the disabled, and literally so much more. the model role-model (this is me praising him and putting an example into place), but we’ll never truly know him. we’re not on the same level of connection as him and his members are, no matter how much he shows to us his everyday life. we’re just not at that level.

it could’ve truly been so easy for him to hide his private, private life, even from his members. so you all cannot give the whole group the title of “pedophiles” without knowing the truth regarding whether they were aware of this or not.

considering this had been brought to sm’s attention back in june, and they had began investigating since then, i find it seriously irresponsible and fucked up for him to be included in the walk music video and comeback. they’ve done it in (the recent) past with innocent people, removing their voice and images even after they’ve been recorded (prime example, seunghan), i feel like he shouldn’t have been in the music video, even before this news came out, he was supposed to be resting… same for back in fact check era.

(update 09.01.24, i hadn’t realized that this lawsuit had been kept a secret from sm from june & had just been brought to their attention mid august.)

i just seriously don’t understand how he can live his life knowing that he tormented a child and her mother for the past 6 (going on 7), years. gone to fan meets, concerts, and even more knowing what he’d been doing.

it was just recently 127’s 8th anniversary, so this means that this has started a year after he joined 127.

moon taeil is a evil human being,

if you can even call him that.

tysm for the tag @hyuuukais (i loved reading your answers!!)

🧭 who is your favorite kpop group?

…. stray kids 😔 i seriously wanted to still be able to say sf9 because they’re like my ult group but like lake said… the skz brain rot is strong. (listen even as im writing this im like no sf9 is still my favorite skz is just a current hyperfixation… that’s lasted a year,,, so take that as you will)

🐺 which member sparked your interest?

bang chan. i saw clips of his flirting on channies room. (for example “that would make me your…” and “yeah my nose is big…” clips) so i wanted to know if he was being for real and just a really cute goofy guy or if he was being fake. (answer: he’s a really cute goofy guy) + im gonna say kinda felix too because after i watched one stray kids short i kept getting recommended them and of course felix’s god menu line was involved so it also made me curious to see if it was real or not 🤣

🖤 who was your first bias?

bang christopher chan. i found out he was a cute goofy guy and that’s all i needed to know.

🐿️ who is your current bias?

take a look at my blog and tell me who my bias is. 😭

hint:

it’s han. jisung.

🎶 what makes them your current bias?

(literally wrote a whole paragraph that tumblr mobile deleted) he’s amazing in all ways, ever. he’s a genius and funny and he’s just really impressive to me. i love the way his mind works and his visuals definitely don’t hurt matters.

edit: i was able to screenshot while the new draft was saving!! so this:

i fell for his music first. i think he's a genius with his lyrics and the way he thinks and expresses himself. i love his personality (im drawn to loud introverts). and his thought process bro. the way he makes word associations/connections with the things he sees... he is just really impressive to me. and i think he’s a hard worker. he knows his limits but he still does everything he can to make a situation work for him. like even in his last live how he was talking about switching his routine up because he had been getting overloaded with dopamine and he was starting to feel numb to it. the stuff that he said just made so much sense and i really relate to that. and i respect that he realized the problem and actually takes steps to correct it and care for himself. it's cheesy but it's really inspiring to me when i deal with anxiety and stuff. anyways. i think he is really cool 👍🏼

🐽 who is your bias wrecker?

changbin. i want to say all of them because i love everyone in this group so freaking much… but,,, i cannot get away from changbin (he’s holding me hostage, help im scared)

❤️‍🔥 which member(s) are you currently obsessing over that aren’t your bias/bias wrecker?

again, all of them. but mostly seungmin and lee know rn

🤟🏼 when did you first discover the group?

october 7th, 2022. i watched the case 143 music video 14 minutes after it had been released out of pure curiosity and pretty colors in the thumbnail. i didnt know anything about them or the fact that it was kpop when i clicked on the video. i had just gotten into kpop a few months ago and still solely listened to sf9 at that point.

🕷️ have you been to one of their concerts?

yes. i cannot believe this, but yes. i met my best friend in atlanta for the maniac encore tour march 2023. at the time i was biasing hyunjin so i have a million and four photos of him and felix (my friends bias). it’s probably one of my favorite memories

✈️ what are some of your favorite songs by them?

okay this isn’t fair. can i answer “their entire discography?”

no?

fine.

some favorites are: alien, waiting for us, the tortoise and the hare, lonely st, volcano.

[skzdarlings]

Hii

This is going to be a bit long, sorry in advance.

First off, I was the one asking about your wife- just to clarify, I wasn’t trying to be nosy. I just love knowing that one of my new favorite AO3 authors is in a happy queer relationship.

Speaking of being a favorite author, I’m OBSESSED with your writing. I started with Kingsguard, and the way you wrote Jisung and developed the plot was incredible. (Han is my ult, and finding good fics about him is tough.) Then I read all the others, and then the Bodyguard series, and well, it made me start seeing Felix in a whole new light. (That, and him dropping water on himself at that concert, tehee.)

Anyway, I wanted to ask if you could maybe add some more tags or just a heads-up before the kinky scene in the Bodyguard 1. SM is kind of triggering for me, and even though you wrote it really well and helped me see it from a different angle, it’s still a bit unsettling to jump into suddenly, especially if you’ve got trauma.

Anyways, thanks so much for sharing your work! I can’t wait for the new chapters, but also please take your time and take care <3

hahahaha omg it’s so funny you say that because my wife and i had looked at that ask and was like, this is either a fully supportive or fully homophobic query with no in between hahaha im glad it was the former. yes very happy queer relationship thank you very kindly 🤭🧡

and thank you so much! For both the bodyguard and kingsguard compliment haha idk why i wound up with so much guard content in this blog 🙈 but im so glad you have been enjoying it!

and ah thanks for pointing that out! i was confused at first because that chapter is thoroughly content warned then realized i forgot to paste over my tumblr content warnings on ao3 like i did for the other chapters. total slip, there’s a few moving parts when i post and it got lost in the shuffle. thank you for the heads up and im truly sorry!

i will just also mention to you or anyone else who this might help - because safety for readers is SO important to me as someone with so much sexual trauma myself - double check on ao3 whether authors have categorized the fic as “no archive warnings apply” or “creator chose not to use archive warnings”. the former means zero triggering content whereas the latter actually means it could be full of it but it’s untagged.

bodyguard is tagged with the latter which i always use when I rated M or E. again, as someone with so much baggage i know A LOT can be triggering that I don’t even recognize or consider, and that tag works as a sort of blanket warning and issue of consent to proceed with caution because you might encounter something that has otherwise not been tagged. sometimes people don’t see that tag or misunderstand what it means, but it’s good to point out and remind now and again so we can all read carefully.

thank you again very much, for both the compliments and reminder, I truly wish you well! take care 🧡

If other agents had a passive ability...

I feel like Jett should not be the only one with a passive ability. And if Riot can program Cassiopeia to be unable to buy boots, and give Jett the ability to avoid fall damage, other agents should have something too. Here are my suggestions:

Astra: Should be able to dodge a flash completely if she’s in her astral form. I don’t wanna leave the astral form and realize I was flashed.

Breach: If a bullet from a pistol, shotgun, or SMG hits his arms, it should do like, 25% less damage. There’s no flesh there, plus, they’re titanium plated and titanium can be used for some bulletproof properties I think?

Brimstone: I always assumed that he had something in his boots to help with impact since he is older. Even running can wear on joints and he’s been putting a lot of wear and tear on them considering his past careers. He should take like 5hp less from fall damage as a result.

Chamber: Should get 100 more credits on a loss. Man just goes to the bank and pulls out more this time :p

Cypher: If I wanted to meme, I’d say camera gun... but really I think he should be able to gain credits for every person tagged by an ability. Maybe just 50 creds for every tag. But he sells information right? He could get some nice biomarkers/false identities off them. or straight up pickpocket them when they step into his traps.

Fade: Should not have the paranoia effect from Omen last as long on her.

Harbor: Should not make any sound when walking on watery surfaces (split sewer, Pearl sewer, etc)

KAY/O: The knife should do like 5hp damage if it hits a person. It’s literally a knife???

Killjoy: Should be able to steal other people’s tech and help reduce the CD timer on her destroyed turret.

Neon: Should do splash damage on her ult if she’s hitting a metal surface instead. Metal being a conductor and all.

Omen: Should move like 5% faster in shadowy parts of a map. (A main on Breeze for example.)

Phoenix: Should take less damage from Brimstone mollies.

Raze: Should take like 10% less damage from friendly fire abilities. Since the original reason why she didn’t take damage from her blast packs but her teammates did was because she was radiant in the sense she was tougher. So...

Reyna: She should heal more depending on the height of the target. So Breach would give way more than say, Neon.

Sage: Should heal more if a teammate gave her a commendation in the preround time. Preprogrammed ones, not the ones that can be spammed by ppl.

Skye: Should be able to track the jellies through walls. Like how you can see outlines with Fade haunts, Skye should be able to see her jellies through walls instead of having to track it on the map. Probably not a passive tho, huh?

Sova: I think he should be blinded more by KAY/Os knife I think. But less by other blinds. Or, has a highlight feature for incoming projectiles so you get earlier warning.

Viper: Should have an actual timer on her abilities. But actually, should take slightly less decay dmg from her double. A gas mask is a gasmask. She’s still more prepared than her other teammates...

Yoru: Should be able to close his eyes on his own blind, aka less self flashes (glares at 90% of the yorus i’ve played with)

[almighty-jinki]

Ngl I’m tired af of Shawols on twitter complaining about ot4s. Ot4s are terrible but they exist, they’ve existed since debut, and bringing more attention to them and complaining about them isn’t going to make them go away. Jinki is my ult bias, probably will be forever, but there’s something to be said about bringing further attention to negativity, and thus spreading it, wether that’s your intention or not.

It is so very easy to practice internet literacy, to not look at things that make you upset, that at some point I have to wonder if these people just WANT to be upset. I understand, in a way. Anger can be a much easier emotion than helplessness, but Jinki is a grown man. He doesn’t need protecting from his fans, he has bodyguards and managers and a PR team. He’s been in the industry for 15 years, almost half his life, I promise that he KNOWS how to avoid looking at negative posts about him. As much work as he’s been doing for his mental health recently, I can’t see him as someone who would intentionally seek that stuff out. Honestly, I don’t see him looking at social media much at all. Of course, I don’t know him, I could be wrong. But that isn’t my or anyone else’s call to make.

I engage with the fandoms of my groups because it makes me happy. Being reminded of and seeing complaints about ot4s every other post on my tl, that doesn’t make me happy. It bums me out, and I’m not even seeing posts by actual ot4s. I blocked any ot4 account I could find months ago. It just makes me sad that even when I go out of my way to avoid engaging with ot4 content, it’s inevitably brought up by Shawols who I’m sure MEAN well, but really are just making more content related to ot4s.

I realize that, technically, I’m sort of doing the same thing now by even talking about this. This is the only post I’ll make on the subject, and I’ll make sure to tag it as tw ot4 for people who don’t want to engage or look at anything involving them.

Kpop title track ranking: VIXX

In this series I’ll be ranking kpop groups/soloists title tracks based on my taste.

VIXX is one of my ult groups. This is very much backed up by the fact that my tumblr archive tells me that VIXX is my second most used tag of all time. Now having this Leo&Ken&Hyuk MNET reunion stage made me listen to VIXX a lot after a while and reminded me that I could do this ranking thing for their songs too, so here we go! (I basically love them all so this is going to be both pointless and extremely difficult xD) 

Eternity - My true love. This was the first VIXX song that heard a snippet of and I had to go and listen to the full song. That was the most right choice ever made. I loved it immediately. And after all these years my love for this song just keeps on getting stronger. It’s a masterpiece and I love it to bits. Also just the instrumental version of it gets me all emotional. It’s incredible.

Error - Another tear jerker (next to Eternity). My first ever comeback as a Starlight and they delivered. I love this to bits too, Eternity just has even more special place in my heart.

Scentist - Mature masterpiece. Damn it’s just awesome. I wish we could have gotten even more of this mature and gorgeous VIXX.

Shangri-La - It’s so gorgeous! Just all about it. It’s just so pleasing to listen to.

Voodoo Doll - After that Leo&Ken&Hyuk reunion stage I’ve been stuck on Voodoo Doll! Usually I would probably not put it before On and On but right now yes I will!

On and On - And the concept kings were born! I had a period when this was my favorite VIXX song. It’s still great as ever and I can’t help loving it.

Hyde - I love the duality concept so so much!!! Those stage outfits being split 3-3 was so cool. Truly I love these songs so much and it just depends on my current mood how I rank them.

Fantasy - I have to say hearing this now, after quite a few years, I realize that I have not given this one enough credit. It’s incredible!! I’ve always liked it, sure, but somehow I’ve never given it much thought other than that. It still ends up in the middle of the pack as I have too much nostalgia-driven love for the other before it but oh my I’ve been wrong here!

Rock Ur Body - It’s such a cheerful one! Okay, I have to admit that when I first got into VIXX I didn’t like this one immediately but I grew to like it too. But I have to say it’s so catchy and cheerful I can’t help nut think fondly of it.

Super Hero - Another such cheerful one! The styling in the music video has seen better days (I mean maybe it did) but other than that I don’t think it has aged badly. It’s cute and bubbly and I’m here for it!

Chained Up - Oh boy oh boy Chained Up. There are layers here, aren’t there? The concept. Anyway. It is so so catchy, and there is no way to deny that. Also SBS Gayo Daejun 2015 performance, the noise that added to the chorus. I’m obsessed! Why doesn’t it belong to the original version, I’m so bitter xD

Dynamite - Cheerful but more grown up than the first two. Groovy? Very enjoyable but I have to say I quite rarely find myself wanting to go for Dynamite specifically.

Love Equation - This is such a special case as it actually is a remake. Counted it in because they performed it on music shows. Good that they did as they ended up winning so much with it! Happy and proud Starlight here. As a song it’s cheerful sound-wise and then you read the lyrics and you go “Oh it’s a breakup song!” Lovely but I personally usually go for the others instead.

The Closer - I admit it. I never quite got The Closer. I don’t know why but it never clicked with me. I don’t actively dislike it but I don’t get anything out of it either. And that’s just too bad. AND can we talk about the video? Poor N - who’s terrified of heights - you made him hang of that edge... Poor thing ;_; 

G.R.8.U - I didn’t even remember that this was actually a title track, oops. It’s cute and fun but I guess me forgetting that it actually is a title track tells all that needs to be told xD 

What can I even say? VIXX is amazing. Their music is amazing. I still love them dearly and have a glimmer of hope that one day we could get a proper VIXX comeback.

Can you write a fic where the reader (she’s a part of the team) is at a bar and either gets assaulted or is about to get assaulted by a dude when Aaron sees her and saves her? Then she has issues being around men besides him? And then she realizes her feelings for him. Sorry I know it’s a long request. If you can’t that’s okay!

safe with you.

You usually aren’t one to go out to a bar, but you succumbed to the force and puppy dog eyes of a certain Penelope Garcia. It seems that Aaron fell victim to that of David Rossi, as he is never one to go out to a bar either.

Everyone, save for you and Aaron, is three rounds in when you were sent on the quest of getting their fourth round.

You never have liked bars. Too many people in a small, stuffy area. As you make your way through the sea of people towards the bar, sweaty bodies make you feel like a pinball, bouncing from shoulder to shoulder. 

When you finally make it to the bar and tell the bartender what your team wants, you stand there waiting. You saw a man come up to you from the corner of your eye, and you could smell the cheap, stale beer from a mile away.

You closed in on yourself, silently willing for the man to go away and for the drinks to come faster.

"Hey, pretty lady, what're doing here all alone?" The man leered, placing a hand on your hip. You shoved it off, further scooting away from him.

"Oh come on, you know you want it," He smiled, placing the hand back on your hip. You shove him away again, and that's when things go south.

"You stupid bitch! Who the fuck do you think you are?" He was shoving a finger in your face, and you forgot everything about being an FBI agent and de-escalation. You felt a hand on your arm, and you recognized it instantly.

"Actually, she's my girlfriend," Aaron says, pulling you closer to him. The bartender brings the drinks over, but you just want to drop them back at your table and leave. Aaron reads your mind.

"Wanna get out of here, sweetheart?" He says, looking at you.

It's just an act, You remind yourself.

"Yeah, that sounds good. Let's drop these drinks off with the team though, right?' You tell him, motioning to the tray of shots still sitting on the bar.

He nods, grabbing the tray and your hand as you make your way back to the table. Aaron explains what happened well, and you've earned some expressions of sympathy and a chorus of goodbyes from your friends.

You hadn't realized until you are out of the bar that he still had a hold of your hand. You almost decide to pull it away, afraid of holding onto the idea of something more.

You felt a tug or your arm, and you collided with Aaron's chest. He wrapped his arms around you, and you just breathe in, grounding yourself

He smells like mint.

"Thank you. You really saved me back there, and uh- thanks for doing that whole 'pretend to be the boyfriend' thing. It helped."

"What if I don't want to pretend?" That makes you stiffen, and you pull away to look at him.

You see him start to doubt his advances, to second guess himself. So, you do the only logical thing you can think of.

You kiss him. You wrap your arms around his neck, hands in his hair. His hands remain at your waist.

You felt the world get drowned out around you, only leaving you and Aaron and the feelings you've harbored finally being shown and reciprocated.

You pull away, the world in your eyes and a newfound feeling in your heart.

You know he felt it too.

"Oh- wow. Just, wow," You say, your mind drawing blanks as you look at Aaron.

"I guess that's a good sign, then? Leaving you speechless?" He says, a mischievious glint in his eyes.

Cocky bastard.

Cute cocky bastard, but a bastard nonetheless.

"Just shut up and kiss me, idiot."

And boy, did he kiss you.

The Marriage Project (12)

Hi all!!! This is the long awaited 12th chapter! It took months of rewrites of not only this chapter, but future ones as well to ensure this was written to the best of my ability.

This chapter marks the heaviest moment in this story, so please, please be mindful of the content warnings for this chapter. I marked the section that includes this moment.

I also chose not to add tags so that this is not everyone's first impression of this series!

Throughout the game, you and the other homecoming court members (aside from any football players or cheerleaders) had been sitting on the sidelines right in front of the student section, so you were somewhat able to talk to your friends.

The team was playing good in the first half. It was probably Tom’s best game that you’d ever seen. At halftime, they did the “official” crowning of court members and recognized football and cheer seniors.

The seniors were presented first, having their parents with them as they walked across the field. They started with the cheer team so Daisy could change back into her white dress.

Then came the court recognitions, you and Tom stepping onto the field after everyone else as the crowd cheered and clapped.

Tom’s arm linked around yours as he helped you stay steady walking across the grass, since your heels weren't quite meant for the soft ground. Someone handed you a large bundle of roses and you smiled widely.

The bright lights, the cheers, the smile Tom gave you.

It was a moment burned into your memory forever.

Then it was over, and the team went back to their game, winning 42-27, their best win by far all season.

You were saying your final thank you’s to people’s congratulatory comments as you began heading out to the parking lot. Alexis caught up with you amidst the chaos.

“You still on for Tyler’s? I’ll drive,” she offered.

“Yeah. Let’s go home so I can change and then we’ll head out, okay?” you said, finally getting to your car.

She followed you to your house, where you changed into a tight long-sleeved bodysuit, skinny jeans, and some heeled booties. You also packed some other things into a bag to sleep at Alexis’s house later.

You told your parents you were staying the night at her house. They definitely knew better by the way you’d left on your makeup and put on real clothes, but didn’t question you, instead tossing out a ��stay safe” and “don’t do anything stupid” as you headed out the door.

Things were pretty much in full swing by the time you and Alexis pulled into the yard outside Tyler’s house and found your friends inside, red solo cups in hand. The speakers were blaring something with a strong beat and most people were dancing.

You had a white claw to loosen up. After having refrained from partying throughout volleyball season, Alexis would be designated driver for the night to let you have your fun. You saw plenty of football players hanging around but didn’t find Tom anywhere.

Weird.

*CW below*

After a little bit, you ran off to use the bathroom just down a hall. You went alone since it would only be a couple minutes, you knew everyone there, and weren’t drunk.

When you stepped back into the hall, you almost ran into a large figure. It was Harrison.

“Oh, hi there, little lady,” he sneered.

“Fuck off, Harrison.” you commanded, brushing past him. He grabbed your wrist and yanked you back.

“I don’t think you want to be saying that to me,” he pinned you against the wall. His breath reeked of alcohol. You looked around, but it was dark and no one was close enough to see your predicament.

“What the hell do you want? I’m just here to have fun.”

“And what do you think I’m doing huh? Don’t think I forgot about that little stunt you pulled going to Johnson. It’s your fault I missed two games.”

“Don’t think so buddy. Maybe if you respected women you wouldn’t have been in trouble in the first place. Now get off me,” you commanded, trying to push forward.

Big mistake.

He drove a knee between your legs and placed a hand over your chest, gripping your breast so tightly it hurt. For the first time, you were actually scared, but still stared directly into his eyes.

“Nah. I just think you’re too much of a pussy to take me. Now you’re gonna stay quiet or something much worse is gonna come to you,” he threatened, then placed his lips on your neck.

You squeezed your eyes shut to focus your thoughts. It was like you were frozen in shock and pain.

His other hand started sliding up the inside of your thigh when you panicked, kneeing him in the groin and shoving him from you before sending a fist into his jaw.

You were thankful he was drunk, as it made him disoriented and off balance.

Harrison reeled back, looking at you in confusion as he bent over, holding his mouth in pain. There was blood around his gums. He looked at you angrily before another voice called out.

“What the hell is going on here? I thought I told you to stay away from her,” Tom seethed. There was a fire in his eyes that you’d never seen before.

“You think I really care what you have to say? I was just trying to teach y/n a little lesson about consequences,” Harrison replied, slurring his words, before spitting blood onto the hardwood floor and pointing a finger right in your face. “You really think a couple hits are going to stop m-”

Tom was about to step forward to do something when rage overtook you and you threw another punch to his nose, causing him to fall backwards unconscious.

Tom looked down in shock at the limp body beneath you, then back up to you. Once your eyes met, his features softened.

“Y/n? Are you okay?” he asked, stepping over Harrison and guiding you away from him. As you finally began processing what had happened, tears slipped down your cheeks.

“I… he- he…” you couldn’t get the words out and your breath quickened.

“Hey, hey. I know. You don’t have to say anything. It wasn't your fault. Can I hug you?”

*end CW*

You sniffled and nodded, not meeting his eyes. He engulfed you in his arms, rubbing your back as you buried your face in his neck. Your chest throbbed from Harrison’s grip and knuckles ached from where they’d met his face twice.

After a few minutes, you straightened up and wiped your face, trying to be tough. Harrison was still out cold on the floor.

“Do you want me to go get your friends?” he asked, to which you nodded. He ran off and only a minute later came Alexis and Caroline.

They fawned over you, making sure you were okay. Tom put a hand on either of your arms and looked you directly in the eyes.

“I’m going to make sure he and his awful friends leave, okay? You haven’t done anything wrong.”

The girls led you back into the bathroom while Tom began dragging Harrison off. They helped you clean the mascara stains on your cheeks and make sure you were okay. After about 10 minutes, you finally felt confident enough to go back out.

When you got back to the main room, word had it that Tom, Jake, Chris, and some of the other guys were making sure Harrison’s crew would leave and not come back.

Knowing that you were safe from him finally, you decided to drink in the hopes of forgetting what happened for a little bit and have some fun. You started off with a shot of strawberry lemonade vodka, which led to shotgunning a beer and tossing back another shot (or two) of bacardi.

Not a half hour later and you were plastered. You went crazy on the dance floor, jumping around like a fool as different people came up to dance with you.

You were barely aware of what you were doing and extremely clumsy. The room was turning as you clambered up onto a table. You were spinning in circles until your shoe’s heel missed the edge and you started to topple over.

You couldn’t even react, but after a second realized you hadn’t hit the ground, and were instead in Tom’s arms.

“Alright I think it’s time for you to take a breather,” he said. It was hard to understand him as his voice sounded distant. He carried you out of the warm room and outside, where the cold air hit you like a truck. He set you down on the edge of Tyler’s porch.

“Y/n are you okay? After everything that happened I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

What he said wasn’t funny, but you found yourself cackling anyways.

“Better than everrr! Did you see my twerking?”

“Yes, yes I did. Are you feeling okay? Your face is super red. You aren’t nauseous?”

You shook your head with a big grin.

“I’m fiiiineee, pretty boy. Just because you’re my husssband doesn’t mean you have to follow me everywhere! I’m alllll gooood.” You slumped onto his shoulder, still giggling.

“Alright, princess. Let’s just chill here for now alright? I’ll text Alexis in a little bit.”

You sat in silence twisting your star ring as you began to cool down and your hearing was returning to normal. Tom was rubbing his thumb over your shoulder and had you drinking your second cup of water, but the effects of the alcohol were still present.

“Tom?” you whispered. He hummed. “You’re a really good husband.”

He chuckled.

“You think so?” he paused. “I think you’re a pretty good wife, too. No matter how much trouble you manage to get us both in.”

After a little longer, you felt yourself getting sleepy as the night took its toll on you. Alexis came outside and rushed over.

“Hey! I was looking everywhere. Sorry I didn’t see your text. Let’s go, y/n. You’ve had a looong night.”

Tom picked you up from the porch and led you to the car, half carrying you. He helped you into the car and buckled you up, then stood leaning in the doorway.

“Thanks for your help, Tom. Glad you were there for us,” Alexis said with a small grin as she buckled in.

“Of course. I’d do anything for her,” he replied, giving you a wink before shutting the door and waving. Alexis had barely pulled out of the driveway when she looked at you.

“Okay spill. What’s been going on with you and Tom?” she asked in a serious tone. She was clearly using the alcohol against you, and even though you were much more aware than before, you still started talking.

“I think I really like him.”

“Like we didn’t all already know that. I meant what have you been hiding from me the past three months? I know there’s more to the story.”

You sighed.

“It started last month, when Tom beat up… you know… the first time. We held hands on his bedroom floor that weekend until his mom accidentally walked in. And then we took those pictures and kept saying all these flirty things. I accidentally caught him naked, don’t ask.”

“Oh I’m definitely asking about that later. But continue.”

“Well then I stayed for dinner that Thursday and Sam caught us in the kitchen goofing around. Oh, and then last weekend we kissed, and-”

“YOU WHAT NOW?” she yelled, causing you to wince at the sound before you started rambling.

“We didn’t really kiss per se… It’s because we were fake dating for that couple. It just kinda happened! And now we’re going to homecoming together but it was supposed to be a secret so… don’t tell anyone before dinner tomorrow. Or tonight I guess since it’s Saturday morning.”

“I knew it. Dammit I knew it! Why didn’t you just tell me!”

“You’d make fun of me! Do you think I want to like him? We’ve been at each other’s throats all this time and now I’m just supposed to forget all that because of a little crush? You don’t get it, Lex. It’s not like he’d ever feel the same way.”

You looked out the car window, trying to settle your breathing after getting worked up. Your head hurt and you were still thirsty. Alexis pulled into her driveway and cut the engine.

“I know I would clown you about it, and I probably still will, but we’re friends for a reason. And you’re joking, right? Everyone knows Tom is head over heels in love with you.”

“What? No way.”

“Yes way! Have you not seen the way he looks at you, and follows you like a puppy dog, and gets so protective over you? I mean come on, y/n. He literally said he’d do anything for you and winked before we left. You must be blind to not see that.”

You sat and tried to think about it for a minute, wondering if she was right about him.

“Let’s go in, y/n. It’s getting cold and you need to sleep it off. You’re not going to have a fun morning, that’s for sure.”

You followed her into the house, trying not to stumble. Your balance definitely wasn’t all there. Her garage door led straight to the kitchen where you chugged a glass of water and took some antacids, grabbing more water to take to her room.

You went into the bathroom to shower off the makeup and sweat and hairspray. When you got out and looked in the mirror, you saw the way your chest was reddened from what Harrison did to you. It took everything to hold back more tears.

%

The moment your eyes opened, everything hurt.

Your head, stomach, feet, chest. Your head was flooded with memories from the previous night. You rolled away from the window to find Alexis sitting on the floor next to a plate and glass of water.

“Well, well, well. Sleeping beauty awakes. I brought you my hangover cure.”

You looked down to see that on the plate sat two advils, an alka seltzer, and some cinnamon pop tarts. It was almost 11 am.

“Thanks, Lex. For everything. You’re the best,” you said, taking a bite off one pastry.

“Don’t be thanking me. Tom’s the real hero. He got a bunch of people together this morning to report Harrison for what he did to you and he’s suspended again, can’t go to the dance. I guess Johnson is gonna deal with it more next week and he might be expelled. Do you have any proof other than Tom?” she said gently.

“Let’s see,” you said, tugging off your shirt, revealing a sports bra. She gasped when she saw the purple bruising around one breast and the hickey marks that had been left on your neck.

“Oh my God, y/n. That’s awful.”

“I know. It didn’t look like this last night. We need to get some pictures.”

After taking some pictures for proof and finishing off your “breakfast,” you and Alexis began preparing yourselves for the dance. You were going to do makeup and hair at her house before going home to change, and then to Tom’s.

If he even still wanted to go with you. You decided to call him while Alexis curled your hair.

“Hey, y/n. Are you okay?” he asked, voice deep and raspy. He must have gone to bed again after organizing the reports against Harrison.

“Yeah, I’m way better. Thanks for everything last night. For saving my ass. I heard what you did this morning, too. You’re the best.”

“It’s the right thing to do, y/n. I’m glad I was there. And you’re sure you’re okay? We can skip the dance tonight if you aren’t up for it. You know my mom would love to have you come hang out any time.”

“Hey, now. I’m not about to leave the dance without a king and queen. I mostly wanted to check if you were still okay with going together after everything.”

“Of course! I want to go with you, y/n. Nothing’s changed that.”

You smiled.

“Okay, well, I’ll pick you up at 5 for dinner. Bye, Tom.”

“See ya, princess.”

You ended the call and sat quietly looking down. You almost forgot Alexis was there until she said,

“So you’re driving him, huh? I alway knew you wore the pants. Now tell me about that whole ‘seeing him naked’ thing...”

A/N: so... there's that chapter. I hope you all understand that this moment is not at all meant to romanticize or glorify the terrible experiences so many people endure, but instead highlight one way this issue is dealt with.

I wish you all the best. Please remember that my messages and asks are always open ❤️

Oh archons it’s been so long Kazuha distracted me with his pretty ult and killer jumps LITERALLY!!! A dose of nonsense thoughts coming to you: First off, do pineapple exist in Teyvat? Nonetheless Childe looks like he would like pineapples specifically pineapple pizzas.

Speaking of, more characters got isekai to modern world ideas, Diluc accompanying you to Subway or 7/11 or just going on a nightly stroll around the city just because.

Zhongli stealing your history books and being more knowledgeable than you on the subject after just reading for a DAY.

Albedo literally turning into your tutor.

Those two could also become your assistant even tho your just an average office worker.

Xiao pulling an Edward Cullen cause he has no ability to sleep. Jokes on him if reader also has no ability to sleep (college or a workaholic)

Kaeya a freeloader. But hey he does chores and goes on grocery shopping when supplies are low.

Childe another freeloader but he picks fights on the gym. He does chores and pull on the breakfast in bed card as an apology for every trouble he cause.

I hope this makes sense, I’m on mobile again so 😬

MY WINDY POET HUBBY IS SO FUN THE PLAY WITH SOHDOHSAODH not only that the fact you can use his E skill midair gliding makes him SS tier for exploration too (I'm rushing to get all his mats before the Island closes down in two weeks spare me Mihoyo 😩)

Childe is the type of man who would like things I hate (yes I hate pineapples) as well as liking the things you hate just to piss you off probably. Everybody be looking at him weird, bet he also likes mixing different soda flavours in one cup for the fun of it.

BOI If Diluc were to accompany me to the Subway I won't mind the traffic Teehee ^3^ His prescence would feel really safe and a mellow type of warmness. Since late night strolls in cities tend to be the most dangerous he surely would be the one who offers in accompanying haha.

Zhongli AND Albedo. Bruh if they met I don't think either of them would stop talking. And yes please sandwich tutor 🥰 Zhongli got that voice and Albedo got that voice (I love both of their voices honestly), they're both strict and picky but their praises just has my whole heart uwu Whats with this double duo? Childe+Kaeya living in the same room as you? That's asking for chaos. I think they'll be the type to be video-gaming all night in your house laughing at max volume while you try to finish your work (just imagine having two older brothers and you're the youngest). The only mature one is you and you're taking care of two teenagers before they get in trouble with the police or something.

Edit: I forgot Xiao😭😭 okay okay lemme make up or this. I think the reason why I missed him because as you said, he's an Edward Cullen dark type of guy who hides in the shadows ahaha. Though, he's similar to Diluc in terms of how he wants to approach you. Just the fact he tags around you when you don't realize it which you always tell him to notify beforehand since it ends up being a jumpscare.

I'm on laptop but I'm prompted to type more LOL don't wanna go too far otherwise imma turn it into a fic and force myself to finish it in the next 5k word :') DOOM ah well maybe in the future. For now let us indulge ourselves in Brother's Conflict Genshin Parody while we can.

Check-In Tag

I was tagged by @calcifer-rose and @marculees to do this tag. Thank you🥺💞💞

1. why did you choose your url?

Kachu is my nickname and "-lein" is a German diminutive to make it sound cuter since kachu by itself was already taken.

2. any side blogs?

Yes! I have quite a few but the only one that I actively check up on/post on at the moment is my astrology blog @dreamyaqua ...and even there I have been quite inactive due to studying for exams.

3. how long have you been on tumblr? 

Since December 2012 :')))

4. do you have a q tag?

Yes! I mainly use my "q: daydreaming💫" tag but I also have one for sleeping (that I keep forgetting to use) and I kind of replaced my "busy busy" queue tag with the daydreaming one as well. Rarely, I might temporarily make a new one with "sick/ill" or something to kind of also explain why I might be inactive/not replying to messages.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

I'm actually not sure... I made a tumblr but didn't use it for a few years because it was too confusing to me. Then in 2014/2015 I used it here and there to reblog emo posts and then in 2016 I started getting into the kpop side of tumblr and became gradually more active (only really started interacting with people after starting my writing side blog in 2018, though).

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Because it fits my current blog aesthetic/colour theme and Yeonjun is one of my ult biases.

7. why did you choose your header?

Pretty much the same applies to my header as well. Yes, I'm a sucker for Yeonjun. c:

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

Oof...on main, I really don't know. I've made my fair share of kpop meme posts that garnered >1k notes but I couldn't say which one of those is number one. But my most popular post overall is a Bang Chan blurb I wrote on my (now mostly inactive) sideblog @fluffyheadcanons that counts >2.1k notes as of now.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I used to keep track of them in a little booklet so that I didn't forget anyone (especially with tag games, checking up on them, and also to update their url changes) because I had >100 mutuals. I've lost touch with most of them and a lot of them aren't active on tumblr anymore, so now I keep a small circle of lovely moots with some that I've been friends with for years and others I've met in the past year!^-^ 💞💞

10. how many followers do you have? 

It keeps fluctuating but it's around 1.5k~

11. how many people do you follow?

About 271 as of now~

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

Ever? You mean, all the time? Yes, that sounds more like it. :')

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

Hmm...some days more, some days less. I probably pop in at least once a day (most of the time) but I'm not as crazily active as I was in the earlier days (I literally lived on here ok😭).

14. did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

Hm... not a fight per se... but there were a few instances.

1) Back in 2019 I believe, I got an anon ask saying that one of my mutuals was talking shit about me on their blog and they asked me whether we had a fight (we didn't). So I went and messaged said mutual and asked what this is about and whether I've done something to upset them. They never replied and also unfollowed me and all, so to this day, I still have no idea what the heck happened.

2) I had a similar situation with a second mutual as well, there wasn't an anon involved but I just suddenly realized that they unfollowed me on every social media we connected on and same as above, to this day, I still have no idea what I did wrong/whether I did something to upset them.

3) I won't go into much detail here because what happened is very personal but this mutual was one of my first friends here on tumblr and they were without a doubt the person I talked to the most. We had similar struggles and could relate to each other well. Then there was a personal issue and I confronted them about it... I wasn't mad but I just wanted to know the truth because I don't like being lied to... but they never replied to me and it marked the end of our friendship. This one is the hardest for me to get over because we weren't just mutuals, we were so much closer than that. More than anything, I just miss them and think it's sad how we went from talking all day every day to being strangers. But life goes on...

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts? 

Depending on what it is about they make me a bit uncomfortable. I know that those posts who threaten you are all about superstitions but it still scares me/I don't wanna risk anything y'know😔

16. do you like tag games?

Yes!! I really love these type of games, so moots or anyone who's reading this, feel free to tag me in games, I'm always up for doing them! And I don't mind getting spammed either, it just means more fun games for me!^-^

17. do you like ask games?

Yes, I love them! But I don't want to annoy people so I haven't reblogged one in ages ^^"

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Hmm... I'd say Qiu (@stealerz) and Key (@key201303)!!🥺💞💞

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

I'll join Niamh here and say squishes! I do have those on my moots because you're all so precious and ily!!!👉🏻👈🏻🥺

20. tags?

@jsczclpjs @jellihye @stealerz @key201303 @interstellix @oddlittlefandomist @marriael @jbemin and anyone else who'd like to do it!~💞💞

Ult Group Tag

Tagged again by @korimi4 thanks darling!! i did this already but i’ll change my ultimate group: i’ll go with shinee now

First bias: 

if i don’t remember wrong, i think it was Jinki

current bias: 

it constantly changes, now that the boys are back i’m all over Minho again, but before that it was obviously Taemin (i’ve also had my time with Jonghyun but as i say it constantly changes)

first mv watched: 

I think it was Married to the Music, and let me tell u i was shocked lmao

favorite mv:  

1 of 1 probably, the aesthetic of that comeback was on point

if you could only listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be:

i have two i must say: Replay because it’s replay but then Y Si Fuera Ella by Jonghyun because it’s the most beautiful song i’ve ever listened to

who would you want to see them collab with?

of course BTS, i just know that at least most of them are friends, they would sound so good together. Also with Red Velvet it would be quite iconic (or Sunmi)

what (mv) concept do you want to see them do?

i said it before i think but i miss SM’s old touch, like i don’t want them to go with the trends of nowadays and like come up with their unique concept lol

have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?

i don’t think so, if i did either minho or taemin appeared but i don’t recall anything specific

if you could spend a day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?

taemin pls i need to spend a day with him, doing whatever i just need to know what is like being his friend, he seems so fucking cool and weird at the same time i need to know how he is in real life 

which member do you think you would get along with best?

uh idk really, as a friend i am similar to taemin (with bullying and all lol) but then idk maybe jinki or jonghyun, cuz their personalities are similar to mine

Which member do you think you would argue with?

kibum LMAO and on purpose just to piss him off

if you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?

all of them together, i want to be bullied in different ways by them (and have jonghyun defend me pls)

this made me realize i miss shinee so much

well i’ll try to tag someone who i didn’t tag before, or someone who may want to redo it with another ult group: @trashlord-007 @sngyeonz @bi-flower @arosequartz @gayforpinks @flowerpetalshun @jungkooks-princess @latenightjjk @im-just-trying-to-survive-man @jin7moon and @bloss0mwavess

Cap - Iron Man Rec Week 2020 - All New Monday

All New Monday, June 15th: Recently posted works that feel like they were created in 2012. A stony fic recs for @cap-ironman community. <3 

and a partridge in a pear tree by JenTheSweetie [T, 2,100 word count]

"Adults do that now? Really?" Steve said, doubtfully. "Really," Tony said, seriously. Tony and Steve get up to shenanigans. Christmas will never be the same.

Steve effortlessly trolling Tony is one of my favorite things. ;)

The Libertine by Sineala [NC-7, 6,167 word count]

Steve and Tony have both made certain assumptions about each other. You know what they say about assuming things.

Maybe not the very first Ults stony fic I read, but definitely the most memorable. They are just so ... soft. 

monopoly v. twitter by starklystar [G, 9,36 word count]

Captain America @steverogers PSA: To all concerned citizens, Tony Stark and I are not dating.But, if we manage to donate 5 million dollars for the @mariastarkfoundation Children's Fund, I'll consider asking him out ;) 5:04 PM - 12 May 2013, 6.3M retweets 4.3M likes. OR: Tony Stark's hidden superpower is businessman extraordinaire, and Steve Rogers uses Twitter for the greater good.

To see Tony through besotted Steve’s eyes is a real treat and instant stony feelings booster.

Scaramouche's Bite-Sized Prompt Ficlets  by Annie D (scaramouche) [T, a collection of 9 oneshots, some fics refer to later canon events but all are tooth rotting sweet)

An excellent collection of yummy stony pick me ups. 

Stuck in a... by Annie D (scaramouche) [NC-17, 13,005 word count]

Steve gets into a serum-enhanced rut. Tony figures that there’d be a long list of people who’d volunteer to help Steve out, but there’s only one person Steve wants.

I just love how Steve and Tony negotiate their boundaries, the consent and talk about the unexpected feelings in this fic. *clenches fist*

take my heart clean apart by mistymountainking [M, 13,889 word count]

He’s tired, so tired of waiting, tired of touches with no meaning, tired of holding his breath when Steve’s in the room, tired of keeping this love to himself. “I can’t—I can’t, if you don’t mean it.” *** Tony comes home exhausted after an SI event. Steve acts as welcoming committee. It's an old, careworn routine they've perfected over the years, but tonight ends up going in a very different direction.

Emotional wringer of a fic, so, so good.

Talking Bodies by itsallAvengers [T, 13,268 word count]

Coincidentally, the physical effects of romantic and sexual desire match up very closely with the physical effects of fear. But it's not a problem-- it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear the way your heart speeds up, or see the minute dilation of your pupils, are they? They'd have to be some sort of Superhuman to do that. And what's worse than a Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and concluding that you're in love with them? A Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and thinking you're terrified of them.

This is such a neat set up for an emotional roller coaster of mutual misunderstandings, so much like them too.

through a passive landscape by Mizzy [M, 10,446 word count]

The New York Times once described parking structures as "the grim afterthought of American design" and Steve couldn’t say he disagreed. The building they were searching was pretty damn ugly. But something uglier was about to happen inside. 

A little bit of identity p*rn and a lot of heart to heart talking goes a long way, and I’m here for all of it.

Warmer Than Iron by kdm103020 [T, 16,000 word count]

The morning Steve finds Natasha Stark naked in Iron Man’s bed, he immediately realizes three things.

This was my very first Steve/Natasha Stark fic and it was utterly delightful. 

I also have a stony fic rec tag with more stony recs, my last year Cap-IM rec posts are here.

1. Why did you choose your url?

I used to have a Wonho url but for personal reason (He is a great human being don’t get me wrong!) I stepped away from him and with that I wanted a change too.
