# “MRS. WAYNE I THINK THIS IS FOR YOU!” ── .✦ ( bruce wayne wife headcannons )

a/n: this was request by a anon (here) so yeah but anyways I Lowkey used to be OBSESSED with like batmom stories but like I genuinely then lost all care for liking anything bruce wayne but this might just like help me (jason todd girly converts into a batmom Stan😭) tags: (bruce wayne x fem!reader)

CHAOTIC HEADCANNONS ── .✦

“No, Bruce. That’s Not a Normal Thing to Do.”

You frequently have to remind him that billionaire habits don’t translate to normal life.

Bruce: “I thought I’d buy out the café you like so you wouldn’t have to wait in line.”

You: “Bruce, we’re just getting lattes. Calm down.”

The expensive car Dilemma: He’s tried picking you up in one of his expensive cars once, and you’ve never let him live it down.

“Bruce, we’re not running a car dealership we’re going to Target.”

Tech Mishaps: Bruce likes to show off his gadgets, but they always malfunction around you. Once, the Batcomputer locked him out because you accidentally spilled coffee near it. You took a picture of his shocked face and made it your phone wallpaper for weeks.

The Disastrous Cooking Attempts: Bruce insists he can cook. The truth? Alfred banned him from the kitchen after he tried to “surprise” you with pancakes and set the stovetop on fire.

“I’m Batman, but I can’t handle pancake batter.”

OVERPROTECTIVE HUSBAND™ ── .✦

He’ll interrogate any new friends you bring around like they’re suspects in a heist.

Bruce, shaking someone’s hand firmly: “And what do you do for a living?”

You, glaring: “Bruce, they’re not applying to join the Justice League.”

GOSSIP FINAL BOSS ── .✦

He pretends not to care about gossip, but he secretly listens to you rant about gala drama. Sometimes, he’ll even chime in with hilariously accurate observations.

You: “That woman was glaring at me all night.”

Bruce: “Because she kept seeing her husband looking at you’re instagram posts. Trust me, Alfred told me.”

ROMANTIC HCS ── .✦

Constant Gentleman Mode: Bruce is always opening doors for you, carrying your bags, or pulling out your chair. You tease him about being old-fashioned, but it’s clear he loves taking care of you.

Private Dance Lessons in the Manor: When you’re stressed, Bruce will put on some music in the empty ballroom and sweep you into an impromptu dance. He’s a surprisingly good dancer, but the way he looks at you mid-spin? That’s what makes your heart race.

Personal Love Notes: Bruce doesn’t text much, but he leaves little handwritten notes around the house.

“Don’t forget, you’re the best part of my day.”

“Coffee’s ready downstairs. So is your husband, who can’t stop thinking about you.”

The ‘I’m Watching You’ Look: At galas, Bruce can’t stop staring at you. When you catch him, he gives that little smirk that says, Yeah, you caught me, but I’m not sorry.

Soft Batman Moments: Even in the Batcave, he has moments where he’s just your Bruce. When he sees you waiting up for him late at night, he’ll silently take off his cowl, walk over, and hold you like he’s afraid you’ll disappear.

Protective, but Not Controlling: He worries, of course, but he respects your independence. If you’re ever in trouble, though, the Bat is out faster than you can blink. “No one touches my wife.”

Gift Giving Expert: He puts serious thought into gifts. One time, he recreated your childhood bedroom in the manor when you were feeling homesick. “I just wanted you to feel at home,” he said, completely nonchalant.

The Morning Ritual: He wakes up early to watch you sleep for a few minutes (in the least creepy way possible) because it’s his quiet reminder of how lucky he is. When you stir awake, he presses a kiss to your forehead and whispers, “Good morning, love.”

Subtle Public Affection: In public, his affection is subtle—hand on the small of your back, thumb grazing your hand, or an almost imperceptible wink across the room. But behind closed doors? He’s all cuddles and kisses.

Always Puts You First: Whether it’s cutting a patrol short to spend time with you or risking everything to keep you safe, Bruce’s priority will always be you. “The city can wait. You can’t.”

MIX OF CHAOS AND ROMANCE ── .✦

When Bruce tries to be romantic but Alfred bringing him back to reality: Bruce, holding your hand: “You’re the light in my dark world.”

Alfred, walking in: “Sir, you said that to the last woman, too. Shall I fetch your script?”

You once jokingly wore a bat-symbol T-shirt to tease him. Bruce didn’t say anything, but later that week, he wore a matching shirt that said, “I <3 My Wife.”

————————————————————————

With a reader who makes out of pocket jokes

Featuring: Akane, Lemon and Teru!

Akane

- Blushes when you say something inappropriate towards him no questions asked

- This one time he was teaching how to make origami and you said something inappropriate

- He paused for a good minute and scared at you, gawking with wide eyes and blushing

- “Okay so you’re gonna wanna fold this part here” “Shit I wish I was that piece of paper so you could fold me” “…I’m sorry?”

- There be times where you would just ask him questions, questions such as for example what part of the day was his favourite

- “Akane question?” “Shoot” “what time of day is your favourite?” “night time!” “Great so me, you, tonight, in my bed.” “…”

- he blushed and tried to say something but literally failed, he stuttered so much he just honestly gave up.

- Like sometimes you whisper things in his ear n he’d just stare and gawk at you in disbelief

- You toyed with him once while he was speaking to Teru and he tried so hard to not blush or make it look like he was flustered

- News flash, he failed.

- Teru was laughing at his ass afterwards

- or times where you were whispering the most jaw dropping shit into his ear and Teru heard it all and saw he’s reaction as well

- Teru never let him live it DOWN

Teru

- Will stare at you in disbelief and will quite literally say “I beg your pardon?”

- He once was painting something for the school with a bucket of white paint and to make things worse it fell on him

- He called you and asked you for help

- and what did you say? “Teru is that cu-“ “Get out.” “WAIT IM SORRY”

- There’s been so many times where you whispered the most jaw dropping shit into his ear and his giving you the biggest “I’m sorry?” ass look

- You actually told him some good ass drama and he listened to the whole thing while even gawked here n there because of the OUTRAGEOUS things he’s been hearing

- He’s lowkey willing to give Akane his work load just to here the things you tell him

- “Psst… Teru.” “Hm?” “Are you a trampoline? Because I’d really like to bounce on you.”

- *Queue you sprinting out the room as he’s at his desk so lost at weither he should be shocked or appreciate what you said and take it like a compliment

- “I…. what?…” “Y/n-“ “…..”

- Akane having heard that just giving you and him the most judgemental look ever

Lemon

- You tell him the most jaw dropping drama n he handles it like nothing

- You jokes just make him pause for a good second and then resume back to what he was doing

- you once whispered into his ear “you tryna bounce that ass for me?”

- he just stopped scrolling on TikTok and did a slow turn to look at you with the most judgmental look

- “No… I’m not…”

- You two literally hear drama and gossip with each other and if you guys hear the drama together, you two are looking at each other n gawking bc what did I just hear?

- He’s on his phone a lot so when you say something out of pocket he just pauses what he was doing n stares at you for like a few seconds or a minute

- Sometimes he even says out of pocket things to you as well n sometimes you do blush, same with him

- you two literally gossip to each other the most craziest things ever

- if you try to embarrass him n whispering UNHINGED shit in his ear, he’ll do the same to you but worse

- I can confirm you one had a battle about it

- of course he won because the shit he says is way worse then the shit you say

- “Hey babe where did the red die go?” “Idk check your pad.”

- You were so dumbfounded that you paused n blinked at him

- “shit… he beat me too it”

- All n all awesome bfs 👍

DONT FORGET THE CHARACTERS ARE AGED UP TO 18+ NO WORRIES 🩷

[simplyreveries]

hello hello!! just wanted to say your blog is super cute!! could I request platonic! dorm leaders with a very very affectionate yuu. like hugging, cheek kisses, the full nine yards. GN reader please!

sorry if my message wasn't clear 😭

have a good day/night!

💐anon

ty ty!!

riddle rosehearts

he was so incredibly flustered when you first started to show him lots of affection. he tries to keep his composure and push you away slightly while clearing his throat deeming that it's not appropriate! but it's just ever since he broke down after his overblot and then you've gotten close to him (well you barge into his life and make him your friend immediately) that you've been so utterly loving and sweet with him. something he is not particularly used to.

whenever you come by some celebration or unbirthday party you always eagerly come find him and hug him giving pecks on the cheeks. he’ll nervously pull away and thank you for coming, but he felt quite smiley and warm inside. because you usually greet him in such a fashion and refuse to be put off by his need for formalities, he has been accustomed to you doing that all the time whenever you see him. he doesn't necessarily reciprocate it but sometimes you may feel him wrap his arms around you and quickly pulls away.

his temper can easily be calmed down if you're around, he does feel much softer around you… lowkey though he does get a litttleee bit jealous with ace or deuce if you're equally as affectionate with your other friends as well. he can't help it.

leona kingscholar

nope nope leona totally pushed you away the first few (many times) you'd happily come up and try to hug him or kiss him on the cheek. he refused to let you be all affectionate with him, he would simply huff annoyed pushing you away. especially if you try to do anything like that around other people.

it'd take him a while to even warm up to it even a little, but with enough of your own persistence he gives in little by little soon enough. you've upgraded to being able to give him hugs without him giving you some glare and pulling away… he's lost the energy to try at this point you're too eager to find and hug him. he’ll rub his forehead “you're giving me a headache, herbivore.”, but once again doesn't make much of an attempt to push you away anymore.

ok… he still gives you this look, but he's better about it. like when you vote up to him after magishift practice (that he finally went to) and gift him a supportive pat on the back or hook your arm around his to drag him to show him something. the only time he somewhat reciprocated it was genuinely if you seemed distressed or upset about something, like your current situation in twisted wonderland or dealing with stress- he sighed as he wrapped one of his arms around you when you came in for a hug.

azul ashengrotto

he was so surprised at your affection initially but like riddle carefully pushes you away to maintain his image. nevertheless, you still are insistent on giving him so much attention. I’d like to think that after seeing his more… emotional and irrational side during the events of chapter 3 only made you want to dote on your friend more.

whenever you come and find him to give him a quick hug and to check up on him during late hours at the mostro lounge and just ask him about his day and what is he doing. he is slightly taken aback but like the others he's gotten pretty used to your affectionate behavior, he’ll chuckle confused, clearing his throat and thank you for asking. he is not used to this in really any way. in fact, if you think about it… this is probably the first time he's had someone he’s considers himself close to be so affectionate and kind. not wanting anything from him in return but to just be okay??

once he's more comfortable, he will somewhat reciprocate a little, something like placing a hand on your back when you pull away from hugging him. he won't admit it, but he does love the attention from you, it's something he never realized it's what he needed.

kalim al-asim

oh, he's definitely just as affectionate with his friends, if not more than you. kalim will happily hug you back and squeeze you tightly or kiss you back on the cheek and giggle. he's glad to have someone who can understand his affection's, unlike some people haha. he just has so much love to give to everyone.

he always greets you with a big hug, in fact it's basically a habitual thing between you two whenever you see each other on campus he’ll greet you with a big hug all happy every time he sees you. when kalim gets excited to tell you about something he’ll playfully swing your arm and asking you to come over to scarabia because he's holding some sort off celebration, or sometimes he likes to laugh and tell you he's tired as he lays his head on your shoulder.

he always tells you how much he loves the affection from you, you'll always get some cheeky “hehe thank you!” from him. he claims you cheer him up and help him all the time whenever you're all affectionate with him.

vil schoenheit

vil is affectionate in his own ways, i mean, ever since i saw the way he treated yuu and the others during chapter 6 when he kisses them on the forehead in a reassuring manner it made me melt. he definitely is lowkey about it to those he considers close to him. though he doesn't reciprocate much at times, he does appreciate small gestures.

like he will sigh and begin to smooth out his clothing or fix his hair after you hug him, he may even fix yourself up as well if your ribbon is tilted or uniform seems crinkled. but he’ll give you some afterwords shaking his head, giving a small smile “tsk, how troublesome” he’d say.

vil is quite observant though, if he were to notice you don't seem as affectionate with others or try to be with him he’ll definitely see and ask you if you're doing alright. he's surprisingly very sweet with his words. he can't help but consider you dear to him now, if you really seem troubled and worried about something, maybe feeling hopeless because crowley hasn't found a way home yet. he will give you honest advice and if you're lucky a kiss on the forehead as well.

idia shroud

he's so ??!! instant brain malfunction when you first come up to him and kiss him on the cheek, seemingly worried but relieved that he's okay after what went down in his chapter, once you got back to NRC. he will freeze up and feel unsure of what to exactly do because he's so awkward with these things.

the first time he hugged you back was a little tough for him at first (he just gave you that small and awkward pat on the back haha) and immediately pulled away, he feels himself burning up from embarrassment, but you're just so persistent, it does make it easier for him when you're so understanding and kind.

he does get more and more comfortable with you especially after inviting you or sleepovers with him and ortho at ignihyde and they're really fun. at that point he's totally okay having you close by as you're laying with a bunch of blankets, pillows and snacks close together playing videogames with him. he's grown to love it actually, as he casually talks and dumps everything he loves and knows about the game hehe.

malleus draconia

malleus was pleasantly surprised with your sudden affection, though he has known you for a while throughout the game, so he already has kind of gotten the idea you're a naturally friendly and overly affectionate with those close to you. he does notice how you are with grim and the others when out. but when you actually come up and hug him? he's shocked, you? a human would just come up to someone like him and hug him? going on your tippy toes to kiss his cheek when saying thanks for coming to the music festival with him??

after the initial surprise he chuckles placing a hand on your head “you’re quite the brave and unusual one, child of man” he loves that most about you though. he admires and thinks its endearing how often and without even thinking twice about giving him affection and calling him your own friend.

soon enough during the nights when he visits the outside of ramshackle dorm and you come to find him, he’ll gently stretch out his arms already knowing you're going to greet him with a hug. and you just know, his hugs are the warmest and most gentle things ever.

✦ All I Want for Christmas is You .ᐟ

pairing: regretful!sunghoon x heartbroken!yn

synopsis: after a big fight, sunghoon completely disappeared. now, years later, you’re having to spend yet another Christmas alone.

genre: light angst, fluff, second chance

word count: 0.6k

naomi’s note: this lowkey sucks and i rushed it but i’m loving all of these christmas fics ahh 😭😭 i’m gonna try to make my fics longer cuz they always end up under 1k lol

.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

The snowstorm was relentless, covering the city in a thick, white blanket. You stood by the window of your dimly lit apartment, watching the flakes swirl outside. The warm glow of your Christmas tree illuminated the room, but it didn’t feel festive. It felt… empty.

You sighed, clutching the mug of hot cocoa in your hands, and glanced at the clock. 10:23 PM. Two hours and it would be Christmas.

Your heart twisted as you thought about Sunghoon. You hadn’t seen him in over a year—not since the fight.

It had been ugly. He was overwhelmed with his skating career, constantly traveling, barely replying to your texts. You had felt like an afterthought, and when you confronted him, it all exploded. He said you didn’t understand the pressure he was under, and you said he didn’t care enough to make time for you.

He’d walked out that night, leaving you standing in the doorway with tears streaming down your face. You thought he’d come back, thought he’d call, but the silence stretched on, day after day, month after month.

Now, as Christmas approached, all you could think about was him. The way he used to drag you out into the snow to go ice skating, how he always pretended to lose so you could win your snowball fights. The way he’d hold your hand and tell you that you were his home, no matter where his career took him.

A soft knock at the door pulled you from your thoughts. You frowned, setting your mug down and crossing the room.

When you opened the door, your breath caught in your throat.

“Sunghoon?”

He stood there, snow clinging to his dark hair and coat, his eyes filled with something you couldn’t quite place—regret? Hope?

“Hi,” he said softly, his voice almost lost in the howling wind.

“What are you doing here?” you asked, your voice trembling.

“I know I’m the last person you want to see,” he began, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. “But I couldn’t let another Christmas go by without trying to fix this.”

Your heart ached as you looked at him, the familiar features you’d missed so much. “You left, Sunghoon. You didn’t even try stay. How could you leave so easily after one fight? Why didn’t you find a reason to—”

“I know,” he interrupted, his voice breaking. “I know I hurt you. And I’ve spent every single day wishing I could take it back.”

You stared at him, the weight of his words sinking in.

“I was scared,” he admitted, his eyes glistening. “I thought if I let myself get too close, I’d lose everything. But the truth is, I lost everything the moment I lost you.”

Tears spilled down your cheeks as you tried to process what he was saying. “You can’t just show up after all this time and expect everything to be okay.”

“I don’t expect that,” he said quickly, stepping closer. “But I had to try. Because… all I want, all I’ve ever wanted, is you.”

You wiped at your tears, your heart torn between anger and the love you couldn’t deny. “How do I know you won’t leave again?”

“You don’t,” he said honestly. “But I promise I’ll spend the rest of my life proving to you that I won’t.”

For a long moment, the only sound was the wind outside. Then, slowly, you stepped aside, letting him into the warmth of your apartment.

As he closed the door behind him, he looked at you, your voice barely above a whisper. “Don’t break my heart again, Sunghoon.”

He reached out, gently brushing a tear from your cheek. “Never.”

He kissed you softly, bringing his hands to wrap around your waist. The kiss was gentle and tender, full of longing. The years of pent up emotions pouring out.

And as the clock struck midnight, you let yourself believe in second chances.

fav hcs about kafka and black swan?

sfw? let me think… off the top of my head:

kafka not being able to cook is a favorite of mine idk why. the idea of her being terrible in the kitchen while having a picky palate is funny. at most, she can grill and boil things and make simple dishes but she can’t replicate the meals she prefers to eat and that’s just funny to me

she loves jazz. this one just makes sense to me i feel like she can listen to almost anything but if she were to control the aux some jazz would be in her playlist

she knows flower language and a bunch of pager codes

can tie a knot with her tongue

prefers calling over texting because she lowkey loves to talk. if you text her she might not answer but if you call the chances of her picking up are higher

has the habit of moving her index finger around or in circles when she’s lost in thought, like she’s conducting an orchestra

most of her favorite coats are custom made/designed

takes a whole day when she’s shopping because she’s super picky. still ends up with five bags worth of clothes and is always on the lookout for new ones no matter where she is. speaking off, everyone knows her pin cause they need to be on the lookout too (she has multiple credit cards. keeps track of each one)

her favorite lipstick color is peach with a little pink in it

gets quiet when she’s disappointed, sad or annoyed. tho she’ll also petulantly whines and tsks when she’s annoyed (my big baby)

not a words of affirmation girlie if you can’t handle her only telling you she loves you four times in a lifetime just end things😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 master at deflection, if you ask her if she loves you she’ll say shit like “isn’t it obvious?” “what do you think?” girl

SWEET TOOTH. IDC IDC she never says no to cake DIRECT FIREFLY QUOTE. she loves her lollipops

spine tattoo yup… a rose’s stem with thorns ive seen it personally

for swan let’s see…

somewhere on some planet she’s immortalized in art and doesn’t know it. for the amount of times she appears to people in reality or in dreams, i just know there’s an artist who had to draw/paint/sculpt this spirit they swear was tangible one second and disappeared the next

swan is very easy to remember because she stands out a lot by both her looks and her behaviour. people may not know that she’s a memokeeper, but she’s in a lot of people’s memories regardless

i don’t think her being a little stalker is a hc but i’m adding on to it so it kinda is… it’s one of my favorite things about her it’s just so funny to describe it that way 😭 all memokeepers are stalkers by default but swan is a very curious soul, she gets invested and ends up having to reveal herself because she just has to have an interaction with whoever she’s interested in

unlike most memokeepers, swan doesn’t discriminate in terms of what memory holds value. she sees value in everything. she’s more drawn by the feelings attached to memories than the memories themselves sometimes. a moment of quietude where nothing is said, all is still and everything is felt? so nice. she extracts it

she can call her s/o every pet name under the sun and somehow not be cringe about it. it’s a super power. maybe it’s because she’s so sexy and that voice is so sultry that if she called me some shit like “baby cakes” i’d giggle

some of her favorite moments are when her s/o is just about to fall asleep. i feel like she’d love to be the reason they get a good night’s rest and it’s story time (she loves telling stories)

a gift giverrr, since she sees value in all discarded and overlooked things it’s not rare for her to bring back objects that “have witnessed a lot” and that she thinks her s/o would like

fav cuddle position is being on the bottom with her s/o on top of her

she is soooo calm. so zen. so good at dealing with stressful people and stressful situations. not above giving her s/on a nice massage either but thats just an excuse to get her hands on them

doesn’t feel thirst or hunger but she does have a favorite drink. i dont know what it is but i know she has one ok. she was drinking a little too often with acheron

might indulge you if you ask her to show you her memokeeper tricks. mostly the stuff about her getting into tvs and billboards and paintings

loves to dance even if it’s just twirling her s/o around in the living room

smells like incense or specific candles

she lovesss touch and physical contact. always touching her s/o in some way. when they’re alone she takes off her gloves for it

i cant think of any more but i probably have a thousand that i write in unconsciously honestly

[duskandcobalt]

Hiii, Santa here! Sorry for disappearing, it's been quite a few busy days, but I'm back with my questions hehe

Btw the anon ask about Elain wasn't me, but thank you for using the acotargiftexchange tag anyway because the more I know, the better! 🤍

Since you've mentioned it in that post, my first question is, Earth magic witchy Elain? Could you elaborate? I'm not sure I've ever heard that one before and now I'm curious 👀

Here's what I already wanted to ask:

1. Since last time I asked this about Elain, now I gotta ask about Azriel to make it fair. What's your favorite thing about him and is there anything you don't like?

2. How are we feeling about Christmas vibes in the fic? Or would you prefer a more everyday kind of vibe? And since we're on the topic of vibes, I was thinking of going with a fluffy fic because, well you know, it's Christmas. But if you'd rather read something else, please let me know 🙏🏻 I'm here to please

3. Is there anything you think you have in common with either Azriel or Elain? Passions, hobbies, personality traits… anything

4. How did you get into the ACOTAR books and fandom?

This time they're all acotar related, I'm sorry 😭 I have so much I'd like to ask but I don't want to flood you with questions, so I'll stop here since there are already so many (but I'll be back soon 😈)

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

-🎅🎅🎅

Hi Santa!! I’m so sorry it’s taken me five years to reply to this but I’m here now 😊

Okay re: earthy/witchy Elain… I am obsessed with the idea of Elain have some sort of witchy powers and working with herbs etc and I think she may also have some sort of power of life if that makes sense? I’m honestly horrible at explaining things but if you want to know what I’m on about, @wingedblooms has incredible theories that they’ve put heaps of time into explaining beautifully!

Onto your questions…

1. My toxic trait is that I loooove a quiet, mysterious man that doesn’t say much and is lowkey terrifying and Azriel ticks all those boxes. They’re like a little puzzle to solve and I love a challenge that has major potential to hurt me …. But!! I love that he really sees and understands people and you can tell that he genuinely cares for the people around him and even though he doesn’t talk much, he’s always listening and learning. One of my favourite things in the world is Azriel’s relationship with Nesta - the way I cried when he gave her the book light for solstice and she hugged him should be studied 😭😭😭 it’s one of my favourite parts of the whole series.

There’s not much I don’t like about him, to be honest - at least nothing that I can think of off the top of my head! I guess regifting the necklace wasn’t his brightest moment but in the words of Lana Del Rey, 🎵you’re just a man… it’s just what you do 🎵

2. I LOVE a fluffy, Christmas vibe!! Azriel canonically loves a holiday, who am I to deny him of a fluffy moment 🎄

3. I have so much in common with them, I think that’s why they’re my faves bc I feel like I know them personally 😭 I looove baking and cooking and I love to do things for people. I love a grandma craft. I don’t think we know much about Azriel in way of hobbies but I’ve decided he loves music and so do I. I am also a big time quiet friend (in real life, idk why I can’t shut up online), listener not talker, and so will dole out advice when necessary a la the spymaster so we’ve got that in common

4. I don’t even know!!! I’m so late to the game, I was a big lit fic girlie (still am) but my friend was reading the first one and I’d seen it all over TikTok and I am SO easily influenced… I picked it up July 8th last year and I’d finished all of ACOTAR and ToG by August 15th 😅 it’s a high I’ve been chasing ever since and it reignited my long lost love for reading so I’ll forever be thankful to it… plus it led me back to writing and this amazing community

I’m sorry I’ve yapped again!! Hope you enjoyed this novel lol

ILY!!!

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Ok TLs!! So there wasn’t that much new info in Yuki or otoyas profiles so I just wrote down the new info but lmk if you want more LOL Also picked out the most interesting Top 3s I think most have been cycled around already

Also the clarification on the psychic power one that I feel gets lost in translation it’s specifically in reference to supernatural stuff LOL kinda like “top 3 people who would be able to see ghosts” which is why Rin makes that comment about liking horror LMAO

Wait another note THEY REVEALED CHIGIRIS SISTER they didn’t give her a name which I’m lowk pissed about but she’s 21 (4ish years older than chigiri I think if I’m doing the month calculation right)! Bday 10/25

- Karasu anon

Yuki Profile:

Q: What would you be doing if you’d never discovered soccer?

A: That’s impossible. God would always lead me back to finding soccer.

Q: If you could only bring one thing to a deserted island, what would you choose?

A: My glasses, since I can’t see anything without them!

Q: Favorite historical figure?

A: Minamoto no Yoshitsune. He was a fighter who lived through both glory and tragedy.

Q: If you had the option, would you choose to go to the future or the past?

A: The future. I want to see what cures we’ve found for different illnesses.

Day before the U-20 match:

I chatted a bit with Nagi about things like what we like and how we won our way up here. It seems like Isagi’s presence is pretty influential to Nagi. It’s got nothing to do with me, but having a rival like that seems kinda nice.

Otoya Profile:

Q: What would you be doing if you’d never discovered soccer?

A: I’d make chill (lofi) music. I wanna be someone who makes that kinda stuff.

Day before the U-20 match:

I reached out the girls I knew for the first time in a while. But basically no one replied. Seems it’s really true that if you’re a bad texter girls will dislike you. Welp, onto the next! Wahoo ♪

[theshelbyslimited]

so I started the commentary for this a few hours ago but then I had a breakdown and had to stop halfway through 🤣🙈 however it is finally complete and I can officially share my absolute love + adoration for this fluffy masterpiece by this talented angel ✨️

“-and that’s why I think we should get a big dog, so it's not as afraid of the horses.” PLS Charlie's childish logic is too damn cute, I swear I'd find it hard to deny him anything w how precious that boy is 🤣🥺

“Nothing to be sorry about, you didn’t know about Sally. And now you know to always ask first. No harm done.” SHE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART. I will always be so soft for this special character 🥺

"Tommy wished he could bottle this joy for when the bad days set in." this little line always gets me bc you just know know Tommy only ever wants joy for Charlie but he just feels so incapable of truly giving it to him 🥺😭

“Can we take them all home?” this would really be me too though bc I'd just want to take in all the precious puppies and give them all my love and kisses 😭😭😭

"The woman could tell he was having a hard time so she made up a ceremony of sorts, letting Charlie take the puppy to say goodbye to his mum." PLEASE this is just the cutest little thing and the way she curated this ceremony just to give Charlie some comfort that the puppy will be okay after a final goodbye to their mum 🥺😭

"Tommy bought him the fucking thing and yet she was the saviour who fixed the house in his eyes. Children." I just know Tommy is feeling lowkey salty about that inside 🤣

“Now you listen here Tommy” “She’s a good girl. Sweetest girl I have ever met. She’s seen things worse than this family, but it nearly killed her alright? I’ve known her since I was 15. That girl belongs in a fairytale, but she deserves one, eh?” YES MISS ESME!!! I do love how protective Esme is over Y/N and she truly deserves the world. I've also always loved the way Esme has never been afraid to be frank w Tommy and stand up to him when it's necessary for someone to call him out.

“I don't know why or how, but it works. She’s good for you. Better than Grace. She makes you lighter, like how Polly says you used to be.” YESSS. I love this so much. I really do love how Y/N brings out that part of Tommy that was thought to be long lost. despite his self loathing self, he truly deserves some light in his world 😭

“They brought in a rescue dog yesterday, she was badly beaten but they couldn't get her through the night so they had to put her down.” just reading this just breaks my heart bc humans can be so goddamn disgusting and inhuman towards animals, it's so devastating ☹️

“Love, I leave you alone with Charlie, I let you in on family business, I’d take you home and marry you too if that’s what you want. Just don't want to rush you.” OH MU GOD PLEAAE 😭😭😭

"Charlie brought the ring, causing a commotion with the audience as his dog followed in step wearing a tux bow as a collar." YES. I love when ppl involve their dogs in their wedding even if they just put a little bow on them, it's too cute 🤣🥺

I love these two so much and the relationship that Y/N has w Charlie is so sweet and special. I adore the little tidbits @ the end regarding why Charlie wanting a big dog as well as the further connection he develops w Y/N. I always come back to this fic bc it includes so many things that just make me abundantly soft in the best way possible: Tommy, little Charlie and doggos! you truly never fail w your work but this particular piece just holds a special place in my heart. truly one of my comfort fics ❤️

Hi!! Can I please request a Tommy Shelby x female reader, 20-23 years old, (who has a personality like Anna from “Frozen”, I just think the combo of Y/n with a personality like with Tommy would be hilarious and endearing hehe) where she works at an animal shelter and she’s just a super soft and sweet person. Tommy goes to her pet shelter because Charlie asked for a pet, and I’m sure he’d be completely bewildered at Y/n’s optimistic, naive, and bubbly personality as she’s living in such a dangerous, dark place (Small Heath). And he’s super intrigued, maybe a bit annoyed lol. They start to get to know each other often as she brings the pet to the Arrow House and helps Tommy and Charlie learn how to take care of them. They gradually fall in love and Charlie sees her as a mom (and the pair get married)? I imagine the rest of the Shelbys would be shook at her personality, how young she is, and their relationship as Tommy is quite the opposite haha

Hello!!

Had a lot of fun with this one. I have only watched frozen once and it was a long time ago, so if it's not right I'm sorry!

I also tossed in a lot of hurt comfort because I couldn't help myself. So much Soft Tommy and fluff. Hope you enjoy it!!

Xo

Warnings: Non descript mentions of past abuse, reader is a bit jumpy with physical stuff, one crying meltdown, mentions of a dog passing away, sweet Tommy, hurt comfort, it sounds a bit dark but I promise its not, soo much fluff and sweetness, Shelby family acceptance

“Hold the wheel” Tommy interrupted Charlie’s rambling about different types of dogs. The boy kept the wheel steady as Tommy lit a cigarette, continuing his lecture.

“-and that’s why I think we should get a big dog, so it's not as afraid of the horses.” He finally finished. Tommy couldn't help but smile at the absolute idiocy of children’s logic.

“Big dogs need extra care.” Tommy reminded him for the hundredth time that morning.

“I know. I know.” He said leaning back in his seat looking out the window. “Let’s just see what they have”

They parked the car and for the first time in two days Charlie was quiet. After Grace died it took ages before he would speak again, now he wouldn't shut up. He looked down as they approached the door to notice the way Charlie shrunk behind him. He wasn't good at meeting new people, Tommy couldn't tell if it was his mothers death, or just something the boy had inherited from himself.

They went inside the shelter and Tommy felt his skin start to crawl as if he could feel all the anxiety and misery biting into his skin. Dogs, much like people, were not meant to be cooped up in small spaces. He felt Charlie's hand tug on his coat sleeve.

“Dad?” Tommy looked up to see that he’d missed the young woman behind the counter greeting them. She was tall, slender, with a bright smile. Her red hair made her green eyes stand out as if they were beach glass being held up to the sun.

“Hello, we are here to see what dogs you have for adoption.”

“Hello! Excellent, we have lots of great dogs ready for loving homes!” Tommy winced internally at her sunny nature and the fact that there were lots to choose from. He loved Charlie more than anything, but the kid couldn't even pick out a pair of socks without a full debate.

“Come through this way, what kind of dog were you hoping for?”

“A big one” Charlie answered in a shy tone as they followed the woman through to the back.

“Woah-ho so this is going to be your dog huh?” She stuck her hand out to him and Tommy almost protested but Charlie seemed to think that this woman was acceptable and reached out to her.

“How much do you know about dogs?” They began chatting along and he was sure he would never escape. They walked into a large space with rows of caged dogs all begging for something. How a girl so happy could work in such a terrible place was beyond him.

He stopped looking down at some rat-like dog and lit a cigarette. A growl sounded and he turned his head just in time to see Charlie's hand through one of the bars and a nasty looking dog baring its teeth. He ran over, when suddenly the woman growled at the dog and the dog backed down. She quickly grabbed Charlie's hand and knelt down in front of him.

“Are you alright, love?” Charlie nodded, afraid to speak. “Sally is a mean old lady these days. Make sure you keep your hands in, I only want to let you pet the nice ones okay?”

“I’m sorry miss.” Charlie said in a wobbly voice. Tommy was impressed that he spoke and grateful that she hadn’t tried to discipline him over the situation.

“Nothing to be sorry about, you didn’t know about Sally. And now you know to always ask first. No harm done.” She gave him a cheery smile. “You want to meet some puppies?”

“Yes!” Charlie practically squealed with excitement. She took them through to a litter of what looked like Pitbull puppies. She sat down on the floor and motioned for Charlie to do the same as the dogs wiggled over and started licking them. He laughed as they tickled him, and Tommy wished he could bottle this joy for when the bad days set in.

“Miss, how big do these dogs get?”

“They should get pretty big, we don't know what mix they are so I can't really tell how big.”

“Dad?” Charlie asked, holding the one that settled in his lap.

“Yes?”

“I want this one.”

“Alright.” He said easily. Amused at the woman's surprised response.

“Can we take them all home?”

“Nice try. The deal was one dog and that’s what you're getting.” He said sternly.

“Sorry miss, you're going to have to find a home for all these other ones.” He told her sincerely.

“That’s alright, that’s my job.” She laughed.

“Do we need to take him back every day to see his family?”

“No, love. Dogs aren't like that.” She answered softly like she hoped it was the truth, as if the dog's pain would cause them suffering too.

“That's good. My dad sees his brothers every day.”

“That’s lucky! Uncles are the best huh?”

“Yeah.” Charlie agreed. He struggled taking the dog away from it’s family, Tommy hated the way his face puckered when he was trying not to cry. The woman could tell he was having a hard time so she made up a ceremony of sorts, letting Charlie take the puppy to say goodbye to his mum. Leaving the dogs some final biscuits, he was ready.

At the counter she pulled up some paperwork and let Charlie pick a new collar and lead.

“If you could fill out your information here.”

“Thank you.” He took the papers and filled them out quickly. She showed him how to get the collar and leash on. Once back at the counter her face paled as she reviewed the paper work.

“Is there a problem?” He asked.

“Shelby?” She said quietly.

“Yes?” His patience was running thin, and he wouldn't have any drama happen in front of Charlie.

“I know Esme! Is she related?” the woman bubbled over in excitement. Of course she fucking knows Esme, Tommy thought to himself as he felt a migraine coming on.

“She’s my brother's wife.” He tried to smile and be polite, she was exceptionally nice to Charlie so he owed it to her to be polite.

“John! How wonderful! Well, I just want to say thank you sir. Everything your family has done for the shelter- I don't even know how to describe what it was like before the donation.” Her green eyes watered slightly and Tommy’s stomach turned.

“Well, I’m happy that it’s in your capable hands. You’ve clearly got a good handle on the place.”

“That means so much. Really.” Tommy pulled out a chunk of cash and put it on the counter.

“A further donation. If everything is settled then.” He motioned for Charlie to go.

“Thank you, both.” She stuttered, staring at him with those big green eyes. .”Here if you want I can come by after my shift to help get the dog settled as a thank you.”

“Yes!” Charlie answered and Tommy didn't have the energy to shut down the situation.

“Sure.” He said letting out a sigh. She looked even happier if that was possible.

“I’ll come by around six.”

As expected she was there five minutes early. With a crate of things for the dog. Tommy welcomed her in and she looked around the place, a look on her face as if she was intimidated by it.

“The dog must be having so much fun here with all this space, eh?” She asked and Charlie came over and gave her a hug. Tommy bought him the fucking thing and yet she was the saviour who fixed the house in his eyes. Children.

She stayed and Tommy kept half an eye on them as he took calls and signed paperwork people brought him. How he ended up with Charlie curled up asleep with the dog on one couch, sitting next to her on the other couch was a mystery. Although not a regrettable one.

One glass of wine led to another and Tommy was listening to her talk about her life. Turns out the over the top sunny exterior was to deal with what had happened to her. His stomach twisted up at what she was implying. Her face fell and her attention drifted off into the fire. She’d ended up staying with a family close to Esme’s and that’s how the two of them became close.

How anyone nice could claw their way out of a mess like that was a miracle. He blamed the whiskey for the strange pull he felt in his heart.

One stray dog is enough. He thought to himself, but he ended up talking to her further about life.

That night led to dinner the next week with Charlie, then dinner alone the week after. She knew what the family did, how they’d started. She knew the stories and rumours that followed them out of small heath and yet she looked at him like he was the sweetest person on the planet.

He had to be very careful with her, and with Charlie in the picture going slow was the only thing he would allow anyway. She would flinch against him if he shifted unexpectedly while they kissed. She was fierce and almost childlike most of the time, but he loathed the way she looked when she was scared.

___

“Esme!” John called out in between fits of laughter. Leaning against his kitchen table.

“What have you two gone and done know, eh?” She said sharply.

“Tommy’s chasing y/n” He began laughing, but Esme’s eyes narrowed in a way that told him he was in for another fucking lecture.

“Now you listen here Tommy” She snapped and John whipped his head around about to tell her off. “She’s a good girl. Sweetest girl I have ever met. She’s seen things worse than this family, but it nearly killed her alright? I’ve known her since I was 15. That girl belongs in a fairytale, but she deserves one, eh?” He was mad about what had happened. But also that Esme was right, what he wouldn't give to be 18 again, get a chance to start over. When he’d told her about Gretta and Grace she’d cried her eyes out.

There was a tense moment between all of them, before he heard the door open.

“We’re back!” She called out in a sing-song voice.

“She’s here?” Esme whispered. Polly came through into the kitchen with an amused look on her face, he would hear it from her later too no doubt. Charlie came through holding her hand and she ran over to give Esme a hug.

She helped Esme get lunch on the table and enthusiastically greeted all of the kids as they popped in and out. He was amazed that he had never met her till now, but it seemed as if they had always missed each other. She’d only settled in Small Heath around eight months ago after years of traveling.

They all ate together and she enjoyed the family’s stories and jokes about him, and he tolerated it because they were true. She should hear it all now before things went any further.

The afternoon progressed and Charlie had sat himself in her lap, asleep against her chest. The dog against her leg, and the afternoon sun making her hair glow. He suddenly couldn't imagine a life without her, his family liked her better than they liked him.

“Tommy” He tore his eyes away to see Esme motion for him to follow her outside. He excused himself and left her to continue chatting with Polly. He knew he was in for another round of lectures but if this is what it took to be with her he would allow it.

Esme pulled him into a hug. He didn't know what to do so he awkwardly put an arm around her.

“I don't know why or how, but it works. She’s good for you. Better than Grace. She makes you lighter, like how Polly says you used to be.” She whispered and he almost enjoyed the moment.

“I’ll keep her safe.” He said and she nodded pulling away from him.

____

The family was less tense with her around. They could discuss dirty business but with her there they had to do it politely.

Polly, Esme and her spent a great deal of time outdoors, or in the kitchens. They were always laughing when he would walk by them.

One night he got home late and he walked past the kitchens to hear her crying softly. Polly made a soft comforting sound he hadn't heard since he was a small child. He made a dash into the kitchen and knelt down to take her into his arms immediately. She’d jumped not expecting him there so quickly.

“Hey now, It’s alright.” he said softly, she relaxed against him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. He ran his hands against the soft cotton of her top, stroking her back.

“She- sh-she didn't make it - I tried - bu- I - ” Her breaths were ragged and her chest was heaving.

“They brought in a rescue dog yesterday, she was badly beaten but they couldn't get her through the night so they had to put her down.” Polly whispered.

“Hey, I know it hurts. But she got to spend her last moments with you. She knew you tried to save her, eh? That's enough, love. Now she’s happy, it's hard to find dogs like that a home after stuff like that happens.” Tommy realized he misspoke for the fact that she started crying harder. “In her last moments she was loved, eh? That’s all anyone could hope for. Next time will be different, you can take them home if you want.” She calmed down a bit to catch her breath.

“I cant take dogs back to mine.” she mumbled into his neck after a few moments.

“As long as they don't hurt Charlie, I don't care who you bring home.” He didn't realize that this was her home too till that moment.

“Really?” She said in a weak tone.

“Of course.”

“You’d still bring me home even though I’m like that?” He realized the mistake he made earlier, she saw herself in the dog.

“Love, I leave you alone with Charlie, I let you in on family business, I’d take you home and marry you too if that’s what you want. Just don't want to rush you.”

“You mean that.” She pulled away and he looked into her red puffy eyes.

“Course I do, I love you.” He’d said it before, but this was different for her somehow.

“I’d like to get married, but only if Charlie is comfortable with it.” The words almost made her start crying again.

“Look if you tell Esme I proposed like this she’ll have my head, eh? Just give me a week or so to get something together and we can talk to Charlie tomorrow.” She nodded.

“I need to get cleaned up, I'll be back down in a moment.” Tommy helped her up and made sure she was steady before letting her slip out of the room.

“I’ll make it right, I just have to sort some stuff with the kid alright?” He looked at Polly, expecting her to be upset with him for doing this wrong too. But she was crying.

“God help me, we can adopt every beaten dog in Britain if it stops the bloody water works.” But she stood up and pulled him into a tight hug. He held her there for a moment and noticed how small she really was.

“No, one dog and a hundred children is enough.” She sniffled trying to straighten herself out. “I’m just happy for you, and the family.”

“Me too.” He admitted quietly.

___

She was too tired to go home that night so she stayed over. Tommy let her stay in the guest bedroom when she was too drunk to drive home. But at some point in the night the door opened and shut softly. He listened to her try to quietly navigate the dark unfamiliar room, crashing into every surface before finally reaching the other side of the bed. He felt her shuffle under the blankets, her ice cold feet sliding up against his legs.

“Hello, love.”

“Did I wake you?!” She said in a shocked tone, as if she’d floated into the room like a ghost.

“No, I was awake. I don't sleep much.”

“Oh. Can I move closer?” She asked sleepily.

“Sure.” She shuffled across the bed and he slowly wrapped his strong arms around her.

“You’re naked.”

“Erm- Do you want me to get changed?” Tommy asked wondering if he even owned pj’s

“No.” She held him tighter. “You're just so warm.” She rubbed her face into his neck affectionately.

They slept together every night after that.

___

The women planned a monstrosity of events. He still wasn't sure how they all survived the stag and bachelorette parties, but here they were in their Sunday best.

The wedding party size was decent, and they hosted it in the big garden behind the house. Massive archways of flowers, the house decorated to nines. He thought that any princess would be satisfied with such a display, but it was nothing compared to her.

Charlie brought the ring, causing a commotion with the audience as his dog followed in step wearing a tux bow as a collar.

This time his eyes stung as his wife walked down the aisle. His heart and soul were actually present, knowing that the woman walking towards him loved him more than anything. Loved his child, and family more than anything. Things finally fit together in his life now that he had someone to share them with properly. His brothers walked her down the aisle, and into his arms.

She kissed him enthusiastically, almost knocking them over. The party went on for almost three days before they drove off for a honeymoon in the countryside.

__

Everything about her confirmed that she was the right choice, although he had no doubts. She was nervous to leave Charlie with the family for a full week, not wanting him to feel abandoned, as if she’d stolen his dad away or not liked him enough to have him come along.

So she called him everyday and listened to him and Esme’s kids rattle on about the day’s events, with a genuine enthusiasm that he just didn't understand. The kids did the same bloody thing every day with the addition of they saw a squirrel here, or Polly taught them how to make a family recipe there.

He would make them late dinners while he listened to her tell them stories about what wild adventures they were having in the countryside. Dragon caves, magic ravens, trees that moved… When in reality she’d only let him out of the bed to cook for her.

I totally forgot to finish where I was going about big dogs, but I don't know how to fit it in. So post credit tid bits:

- The reason Charlie wanted a big dog was because he wanted a dog that would fight someone coming in the house to hurt his dad (after what happened to Grace)

- He tells that to the reader one time when they are sitting in the grass and she trains the dog to follow Charlie everywhere and be really well behaved and protective so he feels safe.

- She also starts tucking him into bed and tells him stories when she stays over at the house and promises to watch the house while him and his dad sleep.

- Charlie is much happier once she moves into the house and when he gets scared at night he always runs to her side of the bed to tuck into her side. Makes Tommy a bit jealous.
