#I'd find it hilarious how she'd react.

[cholondry]

What if Kaito was a girl?

I really love thinking about this question, because it's fun and: What if the new Kaito Kid was even more different than his predecessor? How would that change the characters dynamics and relationships? How much could one change impact everything?

This is just rambling and headcanons, nothing more.

If we assume that nothing else but Kaito's gender changed, her journey to become the next Kaito Kid would be very interesting. At first, she didn't intend to actually become the thief, she just wanted to see why there was Kid's stuff behind her father's portrait and who the returned Kid was. The moment she chose to take on the mantle, she would have to decide: Would she be an obviously completely new Kid or would she pretend to be her returned father? I think she would go with the second option, as it helps further covering up her identity and keeping the illusion that Kid never truly went away, just on a hiatus. The fact that her dads larger clothes would obscure her form and how she can change her voice would benefit her greatly. I wonder if she'd imitate his voice or just change to a more masculine pitch of her own voice, as copying your dead father's voice every heist would really hurt Kaito emotionally.

The way she acts as Kid would probably follow the pattern of how her dad behaved. Meaning that she'd act like a gentleman and a ladykiller. Which would probably make her realise something about her sexuality if she hadn't figured it out before. (Kaito is very Bi in my opinion, and I think that applies to both versions). I'd like to think that she'd flirt just as much as the canonical Kaito, just more directly with guys because seeing them react to a "man" aggressively flirting with them is something she thinks is hilarious.

The relationships between everyone would change more than one thinks at first. I think Kaito and Aoko would be more platonic, as they grew up more like sisters and Kaito would be less inappropriate towards her. Because let's face it: the way the canonical Kaito treats her and "pranks" her is really disgusting, especially with the skirt flipping. If Kaito was a girl, that behaviour would probably be non existent as she understands how deeply afraid most girls are of being treated in such a way, especially at that age. And she wouldn't want her friend to feel that kind of insecurity and fear around her. Thought i would still think that Kaito keeps the routine of pranking and doing her tricks, just in a different manner. I also think she would still be flirty with her friends, because that's just who Kaito is.

Her relationship with Akako would also be incredibly interesting. Akako's entire pursuit of Kaito stems from the fact that he's the only guy immune to her charms, according to her magic mirror. But the mirror would say that no guy would resist her if Kaito was a girl. It would be interesting if she would still end up more interested in Kid, maybe through classmates saying that nobody could ever date "him" and that "he's" untouchable. And Akako, wanting to show off as always or to show how weak magicians are against witches, could try to lure Kid in only to find out that all of her attempts fail tremendously. Which could lead her to discovering who Kid really is. And from then on there are multiple routes in which the relationship could go. She could loose or gain interest, depending on the interpretation. I personally think they would somehow end up as friends, because I just like that dynamic for them.

In contrast her relationship to Hakuba would basically not change at all, because Hakuba would somehow still sniff out that she's Kid, she just has the argument of "But I'm not a guy, Hakuba" for her defense. Also the clash between Hakubas wish to be a gentleman and the want to put an end to his classmates' after school activities and antics as efficiently as possible would be interesting to see. "I do not want to hit or fight a girl as it's against a gentleman's code, but whoever thought of that rule has never met Kuroba."

Now we come to the relationship between Kaito and Shinichi. Pure Kaishin rambling ahead, for anyone who doesn't like the ship.

To get it out of the way: Shinichi is also a girl. Because I'm gay.

Anyway, I think Shinichi would be one of the only ones (besides Hakuba) to figure out that Kaito is actually a girl. Thought no one seems to really believe her on thst point. But through all the times Shinichi was carried on Kaito's hang glider as Conan, the infamous button search from "Lost ship in the sky" and Singapore, there's no way she wouldn't have figured it out.

Additionally, Kid is much more open when the two are on their own, so she's probably letting her true voice bleed through. I think the first time she directly confronts Kid about "him" being a girl, Kaito would congratulate her on finding out with her actual voice. And Shinichi would have gay panic because she trusted her with her real voice and it's so beautiful and if she didn't know for sure she had a crush she sure has now. And after that, their meetings would become extra special because Kid may keep her Pokerface, but with her voice. And it's only for Shinichi to hear.

Them trusting each other with their secrets that they keep from everyone else is just, special.

fnv companions react to a courier who may or may not have sold their soul for stunning looks. you could dunk them in radioactive sewage and come out still looking amazing.

Sorry for taking so long... I hope you like it 💖

Arcade

"Have you ever had a bad hair day? No? Didn't think so."

He'd definitely notice their beauty, but it really wouldn't play any part in the way he treated them (unless they were confirmed Batchelor in which case he'd be slightly more awkward) though after a particularly gruesome fight with loads of blood shed and dirt caked everywhere he'd notice how even after all that they still looked like a God. He'd assume it was a genetic thing, but secretly be a bit jealous of how their hair stayed in place under any circumstances.

Benny

"Goddamn pussycat, I'm not used to being outdone, but you are quite the looker you know that?"

He would flirt so hard with them that it was pathetic. Sure, he shot them in the head and all, but it was dark then! If he had seen their eyes...well shit... Anyway, he thinks they're swell.

Boone

"You- I- uh....nevermind"

It took him a while to notice, actually. Boone had trouble looking people in the face because sometimes he sees the faces of people he's seen through his scope. Well, one day, as they were wiping sweat from their brow after a particularly close call, he looked and became a little flustered because he'd never seen someone look that good... especially not after a fight. the words just sort of stumbled out of his mouth, which only made him more flustered, and the left the courier confused

Cass

"Face like yours must get a lotta free drinks, huh hotshot?"

They were easily the most beautiful person she'd ever seen, so of course she'd casually flirt, but if the courier didn't really seem interested, she'd just kinda leave it alone, but hey can't blame her for trying!

Raul

"Carefully Hermosa/Hermoso might break a nail, god forbid."

He'd assume they were really into their looks, but once he realized they didn't even try, he'd find it hilarious actually and tease them even more.

Veronica

"Ya know I'd be nice if you'd share some of your inhuman beauty with others... starting with this one brotherhood scribe... you might know her, actually. "

I mean, for Christ's sake, they'd been shot in the head, buried alive, and walked across the entire Mojave just to get revenge, and they still looked gorgeous doing it! it just wasn't fair. She had to put time and effort into her appearance to look even half as good as six.

Vulpes

"Your appearance may charm the profligates, but you'll quickly find ceaser and his men aren't as simple minded"

He says while admiring their beauty. He'd hate himself for it because their looks should be the last of his worries.. a soldier needed to be strong, clever, and quick in battle. Their attractiveness played no part in their success, and yet he couldn't help but feel like they were sculpted by Venus herself... and he resentes them like crazy for reducing his thoughts to something as trivial as obsessing over anothers beauty

August Writing Challenge Day 23: Meliodas/Ban

AN: Takes place during their time together in Purgatory, before they meet Wild though.

“Oh man... that was good.” Meliodas flumped down against the rock, the stick which held the meat he'd eaten joining the fire. Ban couldn't disagree. Those dog-like creatures were delicious. Their pelts were lovely and soft too.

“Yeah, because you didn't cook it.” Ban teased, Meliodas giggling at the tease.

“I've tried imagining how my team mates would react to it and no matter which one I pick, they all make this absolutely hilarious expression.” Ban smirked; knowing which team mates Meliodas was referring to.

“So... we get out of here and you go to your room with your girl. What would you do first?”

“Kiss her, duh. Elaine's kisses set my heart on fire.” Ban answered, that wasn't a tough question. He'd missed the feel of Elaine in his arms, her soft lips against his...

“Well, I'd make sure the door was bolted to keep Hawk out and... I'd squeeze her boobs. Elizabeth's pillowy tatas feel like heaven.” Ban spluttered, before laughing. That answer was so Meliodas he couldn't help it.

“Would you... take her clothes off?” He was a little nervous of doing that. Not because he hadn't saw Elaine nude. Because he'd never done it... made love before. And he wanted to make love to Elaine.

“Ooh! Bet she'd look good in the buff!” Meliodas licked his lips and Ban laughed again.

“How flustered do you reckon they'd have got if they saw both us wandering around Purgatory?”

“Elizabeth would have screamed.” Meliodas made his voice go high pitched, making Ban laugh harder when the blonde spoke.

“Oh my goodness, Sir Meliodas is naked!” Ban made his voice go all soft.

“Ban, you can't be walking around like this! This sight should be for me alone!” Meliodas started laughing and for a moment, neither of them could stop. Ban gasped for air, managing to stop laughing finally.

“I needed that, thanks captain.”

“Not a problem.” Meliodas yawned, stretching his arms up.

“We'd better have a nap. You know, so we have plenty of energy to look for the way home tomorrow.” Meliodas dragged his clothes off, bundling them up to make a pillow. Ban's trousers got bundled up to join the pillow pile, his coat becoming a blanket to keep their legs warm. The two of them didn't care they were naked, nor that the best way to keep warm was by cuddling together.

“No kissing me in the morning, lover boy.” Meliodas teased. Ban had done it a few times, kissed the other man's lips when he'd just woke up. Meliodas looked like Elaine when he was just waking up.

“Then grow a bit so you don't look like Elaine.” He grumbled, earning giggles from the blonde.

“Maybe you just like the feel of my lips.” Ban grinned, intending to tease.

“They are nice and soft.” Meliodas was looking at him kind of strangely.

“Ban... thank you.” His eyes widened.

“What for?”

“For coming here to rescue me.”

“Hey, I'm sure if the others thought they could have survived here like I can... they'd have been right with me.”

“Yeah, but you're the one who came through for me. And...” Ban felt his heart turn a flip as Meliodas' lips brushed his own. They were soft and it felt nice being held and kissing like this.

“I really appreciate it. Truly.”

“Don't mention it captain.” Ban snuggled in, before a thought crossed his mind.

“Were you pretending I was Elizabeth when you kissed me?”

“I might have been. I do miss her. But... maybe I just like how your lips feel.”

“When you get back, you kiss that princess silly, alright? Just like I'm going to do to Elaine.” Meliodas grinned cheekily.

“Maybe... I want to kiss you silly.” Ban spluttered, before laughing.

“Alright. Go on. I'm waiting.” He wasn't surprised when Meliodas didn't move to do so.

“Not here. In my bed at the Boar Hat perhaps.”

“When we get back there, huh?” Ban smirked.

“I'll hold you to that.” Meliodas grinned before settling down.

“Night Ban.”

“Night captain.” He closed his eyes, sleep finding him easily. He hoped the captain's dreams were as nightmare free as his own were. Being in the arms of someone you trusted with your life did that for him; and he hoped it worked for the captain too.

AN: I'll leave it up to you whether Ban and Meliodas were joking at the end there. Meliodas kissed Ban as a thank you... but also as a 'I don't want to die having not experienced this for so long'. Ban doesn't kiss Meliodas the next morning, when he wakes up; because Meliodas is already awake and about. The blonde teases him for being naked and the two of them wrestle... once they've got their clothes on.

[letyugisayfuck]

Yoooo I got another fic idea that I've been thinking about for awhile but finally today got it to sound a little more cohesive!

Kaiba and Anzu look very similar. Same color of blue for their eyes and similar reddish brown hair color. So I got it stuck in my head that it would be interesting if they were half siblings and just didn't know about it.

The idea on how they find out about it is that Mokuba is going to college for bioengineering of some sort. Basically trying to see if he can make a viable human body to put Noah in. Wanting to give him a second chance at life. There would be some kind of project where Mokuba needs to collect DNA samples and compare them to see genetic differences and stuff (I don't know much about how it works so I'm gonna look more into it).

He checking everything out and notices that Seto and Anzu are half siblings and freaks out. Maybe he gathered the DNA wrong but then check Seto's against his own and sees that they are half brothers as well. At that point he's sure he's doing something wrong so he collects samples again from Seto and Anzu. Again the results are showing the same.

Mokuba is panicking at this point. Trying to figure out what happened. He has no idea how to tell Seto and Anzu. That's such a big thing to drop on someone and he has no clue how Seto will react. The possibility of Seto still having a biological parent alive could be a good thing but Mokuba knows his brother and he would still probably just push everyone away. Also thinking about how the man you thought was your father isn't your biological father opens a can of worms I'm not sure how Seto would react too. He'd probably be angsty as fuck about it cause it's fucking Kaiba but it's definitely something I'd like to explore.

Also Anzu's reaction as well. I don't think she'd have as negative of a reaction as Seto but still would need time to process everything of course. It's not everyday that you find out someone that's been making your friend group's life difficult for years is your half brother. Then also how would that affect the relationship with her father? Would it change or get strained? Would she just not care and just wanna know the whole story? I just feel like there are so many things you can do with that dynamic as well.

I also think it would be hilarious if Anzu went into it and teased the crap out Seto and called him like 'Baby brother' or something cute.

But also I feel like this could play into Seto and Mokuba's family sending them off to the orphanage after their dad dies. Like their mom's family is completely out of the picture and it's the dad's side that sends them away after somehow finding out that Seto isn't blood related to them. Maybe just assuming their mom cheated when she had Mokuba too. There's also a lot that could go into that as well. I feel like this could be a very emotional story that would ultimately bring the brothers closer in the end. Depending on how I'd make it to you could possibly have another shot at a father figure in their life.

Just a big ball of angst, hurt and comfort and giving Seto even more daddy issues. He's been through enough but damn it's still fun putting your favorite characters through crazy hypotheticals! I'd love to hear what you guys think about it and maybe give me some pointers or ideas? Thank you ❤️

T/W - Loss, Grief, Death There's no easy way to share the news I got yesterday, so that's why I state it plainly in the title and will state it just as plainly now.

My dear friend Markus Ekedahl, known here on tumblr as @lordsmaf, is dead.

He had stopped responding to me altogether on Discord about a week ago, which I naturally thought was odd since he and I have spoken practically at least once a day for the better part of a decade.

I tried to tell myself to not be silly and assume the worst. But still I wrote him every day and recieved no responses even when I said I was worried. So, yesterday, on my way home from another obligation, I started online sleuthing to find contact info on his family, and got ahold of his sister, who he has mentioned to me many times before.

She'd been wanting to get ahold of me, but was unsure how and well, she unfortunately confirmed my darkest fears.

From what she knows, it was sudden. Possibly a result of some underlying health issue. Nobody knows exactly what went on just yet.

I'm gutted, naturally. Markus and I knew eachother well. We were even on birthday and christmas gift basis even though we have only ever actually met a handful of times in real life.

He would have turned 35 on August 1st. I was pondering what I should get him "once he got back". I had practically started rehearsing how to tell him that I didn't care how long he was gone as long as he came back fine and well, in case he was sick or something.

I spent a good half hour looking at his icon hoping for a little red notification to pop up.

Frankly, I'd much rather be furious at him for some kind of sick joke than not have him here with me at all.

---

My thoughts keep going to content and media.

Brav and I shot the shit about media we both liked all the time, and he was as much of a #1 Fan and supporter of my content as he was a friend, always willing to take a look at my videos to try and spot errors before I uploaded them, and showing up for basically every stream I ever did, clipping anything remotely amusing from it. I always knew I was doing a good job if he was clipping up a storm on Twitch.

It was hard enough not seeing his name in chat a few days ago when I was unsure what had happened. It's going to be even harder now, even if I know he'd want me to keep having fun, even with the games I largely played because I knew he'd be amused to see how I reacted to them.

My last interaction with him was me telling him I was finally watching Caddyshack and finding it hilarious, and him responding "Oh yeah."

It probably seems silly that these are the things I worry about since in some way, they probably shouldn't matter. But at the same time, I really regret never getting around to watching some of his favorite stuff now - like JoJo, Gundam or Transformers.

I still plan to keep going on all of this when I can. Even finish the stuff I mostly did because I knew he'd enjoy it. I just need to be able to say it's for his sake without cracking first.

---

For those wondering, I did all the "right" steps almost immediately. I've visited my parents. I've told a few other friends. I've ugly sobbed, I've been angry at the injustice of losing friends at the way-too-early age of barely-34.

I've also had IRL friends who have dealt with their own losses this past year the phone, and one is coming to check on me tomorrow. I have several friends coming over for my own birthday next weekend, and I don't plan to cancel that.

Hell, I've even been able to laugh at other little silly things just a few hours after the bad news. Not that the sadness doesn't settle right back in shortly after.

But today is hard. Really hard. I keep swinging between pure lethargy and crying at random.

I just hope Markus knew that I loved him very much, somewhere between the avalanche of silly clips of terrible game and anime voice acting, the ridiculous tweets we'd both laugh at, or the cool little moments in comics we liked to share.

Fun in the sun 22/05/2022

My lovely girlfriend agreed to go out with me again, this time to Lakeside shopping centre. The roads down to Lakeside were quieter than they would have been at most times, so it was a relatively stress-free trip to get to the shopping centre. When we arrived, we were both peckish so it was time for a cheeky McDonalds breakfast. After eating, it was time to hit the shops. Primark first...I got a contouring brush and some nice body spray. She tried on a few outfits but didn't end up liking any of them. It was pleasant wandering around...but I felt a little out of place compared to most of the CIS girls that were about. it was a gorgeously sunny day...around 22c...but so many of them were wearing jeans. I don't get it. There were some drop-dead gorgeous girls who should have been wearing an outfit more like mine than theirs. The shopping in Lakeside was pretty fruitless. They didn't have any of the things I was looking for. The only thing I got were some looks...people looking at me and then deciding it was noteworthy to then point it out to the people they were with too. I don't understand - what is so funny about seeing a guy dressed as a girl?? I'd understand if I was delusional and didn't make a good effort...but I felt like I looked great, so it was very disheartening to feel like I was being seen straight through. A couple of Essex lads in River Island had a word with each other. A couple of restaurant employees on the Boardwalk had a bit of a look and whispered to each other. Teenage girls in the toilets found my presence hilarious. I hope they enjoy their perfect CIS-gendered lives and never feel uncomfortable in who they are.

IKEA was next. I always love wandering and looking at the set ups that they have in there. To see how things could be styled in different spaces. We went to look at wardrobes...we came out with a cutlery drainer! Exciting! Life can't always be glamorous! The retail park with TKMaxx was more exciting. I at least saw more things that I would think about buying...but ultimately still didn't buy...until the M&S outlet. The gf was paying for something in ASDA Living and told me to go ahead to M&S and she'd catch up. She was only away from me a short time, but that's all it took to find them. I spotted the white one first. Cute. Creamy. Leather. The perfect jacket. And then things got worse (for my purse) when I spotted the same thing in black at the other end of the fixture! £60 for the two...such a bargain, and they will get plenty of use. So my shopping trip had finally come through in the end! Shopping done, it was time for food. I had booked Ask Italian, which both of us enjoy...and I always tend to stick to Italian in girlmode! I had a lovely rigatoni and meat balls dish and then a salted caramel ice cream dessert! A few more looks from the large table that were over from us...but only casual glances. The meal itself was lovely and it was nice as always just being out. We then made the stroll back to the car. So it was a mixed trip. Disappointment for people reacting in ways that I may not have been so happy about...but sod them. I really liked my look that day, I had a lovely time being out in the sunshine...with the sun on my shoulders...and managed to grab a bargain. I think Lakeside isn't somewhere I'll be rushing back to...having not had issues in London or Manchester before, I'm putting it down to the area rather than my look being a total miss. It won't stop me being out and about and certainly won't make me dwell on the negatives on what was still a really nice day out. Was happy to get home and rest!

BOTH GIRLS sat in the lobby of the hospital, (y/n) still flipping through the pages of the book. "So, are there any clues as to who he is?" asked Yasuho as she rested her chin on the other girl's shoulder. (y/n) shook her head, scanning over the pages like she had been doing ever since they had found the man a day prior. "I want to say that he's a Joestar but I can't confirm anything unless we find a family tree or something," sighed (y/n), closing the book with a huff, "plus, once great-great-grandma passed away, my Kishibe-side put that motto in place so I doubt we have any recent information on the Joestars."

Yasuho pouted solemnly as her grip tightened around the two packages of Sesame Honey Dumplings. (y/n) looked at the other girl from her peripherals, with a soft smile. "I'm sure we'll figure out who he is," (y/n) paused to place a hand on Yasuho's shoulders, only for her to whip her head to look at her with a furrowed brow. "What even are the mottos you're talking about?" Yasuho asked while scouring the other girl's face for answers and only receiving a strained smile.

"Well, as a Kishibe, I was told to never trust a 'Jojo' but as a Speedwagon, it looks like I always have to help a 'Joestar'; and as you can tell, there's a 'Jo' in 'Joestar'," she explained to Yasuho who still wasn't too satisfied. (y/n) smiled and stood up, holding out a hand to the pink-haired girl. "Don't worry," she assured as Yasuho took her hand, "I'm definitely going to fulfill my role as a Speedwagon. Even if he isn't actually a Joestar." Yasuho gave her a smile that made her heart skip a beat and her ears burn.

After pulling Yasuho up, (y/n) turned away, looking at the passersby without a clue as to why she was doing so. "P-plus, it might take a while, but I'm sure he'll figure out who he is eventually! In the meantime, why don't you take those dumplings to him?" Yasuho looked down at her gift and (y/n)'s lack of one. "Hey, didn't you say you'd get him a get-well gift?" Yasuho questioned, while (y/n) gave a playful scoff. "Yeah, of course! I have it right-" (y/n) froze at the sight of her great-great-grandma's old notebook— she forgot.

(y/n)'s gaze robotically fell onto Yasuho's second box of dumplings. "Yasuho, darling," (y/n) began with a few 'seductive' blinks of her eyelashes and with an arm on the wall by Yasuho's head, "think I could have that second box of dumplings?" Yasuho's brow furrowed as she gave (y/n) a knowing look. "That won't work on me, honey. The other box is for Joshu." (y/n) groaned and put her face in her hands, hoping to cover her flushed expression. And also because, ugh, Joshu existed and she just had to be reminded.

"Ugh. Right. That asshole is here too," (y/n) groaned while Yasuho began pushing her in the direction of the gift shop. Yasuho seemingly didn't have a comment on (y/n)'s hatred for him but the girl was far too nice to ever really have such a strong opinion on someone. "Do I have to get him something?" (y/n) whined while Yasuho gave her a tight-lipped smile, "aww, but Yasuhoo, I don't wannaaaa." "If I had to, so do you."

After a reluctant trudge over to the shop, the two girls found themselves standing in front of a shirt with an out-of-date slogan on it. While Yasuho looked through other clothes, (y/n) looked at it with proud tears in her eyes. "I...I think Mr. Joestar would love this," she said with a smoldering look, "I think it would be good to see him in it as a reference for that character I was telling you about." Yasuho looked at the shirt and back to (y/n) with a raised brow, "oh, c'mon (y/n), don't use the poor guy as reference material."

(y/n) hummed and took one final look at the shirt before tilting her head to the side, a pout on her face. She was really hoping to use him as a reference but if Yasuho was telling her not to, she'd have to listen. Well, at least while Yasuho was around. As she put the shirt back, (y/n) saw a bright pink scarf with sequins on it. In an instant, it was in her arms�� a tacky gift for a tacky guy by the name of Joshu.

"Is that for who I think it is?" Yasuho asked while stifling a laugh, "please tell me it is." (y/n) gave her a wide grin before showing it off. "If you must know, it is for our dearest friend Joshu who requires some sparkle to bring back his eyesight." Yasuho doubled over before taking hold of the fabric, "I can't wait to see his reaction." "What's he going to react to? The feeling of the scarf?" Yasuho was reduced to a giggly mess while (y/n) smiled and turned to look through the stuffed animal section.

"I think I'll get Mr. Joestar one of these cuties," (y/n) said aloud once Yasuho's laughter had died down. She had placed her chin on (y/n)'s shoulder while the girl picked up a fluffy blue bear. "Think he'd like it?" asked Yasuho while fiddling with the ends of the pink scarf. (y/n) hummed for a moment before scanning the shelves, spotting a yellow dog with a sailor hat. "Hey...doesn't it kinda look like Josuke?"

Yasuho stared at the puppy with a fond smile, making (y/n)'s face burn— up close, Yasuho was awfully pretty. "You know, that guy kinda reminds me of him too." (y/n) brushed off her thoughts and held out the stuffed animal to look at from afar. While squinting, she somehow saw the guy's face. "Heh, you're right-" Yasuho stepped back, leaving (y/n)'s shoulder uncomfortably cold, "-I think I'll just get him this." Once purchased, and despite (y/n)'s complaints, they were off to Joshu's hospital room.

"(y/n)~ Yasuho~ You've come to visit little ol' me~?"

(y/n) grimaced as Joshu puckered his lips and batted his eyelashes while Yasuho gave him a hesitant smile. "Y-yeah! Just making sure you were okay, haha," Yasuho had mustered out before handing him a box of dumplings, "oh, and I got these for you." "Thank you, my little straw~ber~ry~," breathed out Joshu while (y/n) was on the verge of throwing up, preferably aimed into Joshu's gross mouth.

"As for you my favorite otaku~ Did you get me a get-well-present?" Joshu asked with a pout while she gagged. Yasuho nudged her and (y/n) was left to reluctantly pull out the scarf she had been previously excited to give to him. Sadly, the fool still had his vision so the joke was way less hilarious than she had hoped the exchange would be. "A scarf." Before he could say another word, she had chucked it at him and dragged Yasuho out of the room.

His faint shouts were like music to her ears and the sound of nurses rushing to his room to stop him was like a symphony. "So, what room is Mr. Joestar in?" (y/n) chirped as if she hadn't left her childhood enemy screaming at her in a different room. Yasuho hummed and then pulled a slip of paper with a scraggly set of numbers on it. "326," she replied simply, taking the lead instead of (y/n) who had really only visited the hospital to sit in the lobby and draw people when Yasuho was off hanging with her (now) ex-boyfriend.

When they reached the room, however, it was empty. (y/n)'s brow furrowed as Yasuho scanned the room— she had finally met a descendant of one of the people mentioned in her great-great-grandma's diary and now she lost him. Sure, it wasn't like it was of utmost importance but it had been a great inspiration for her new manga. And now it was all gone. "Dammit!" "Ow." Yasuho and (y/n) shot a glance at the mattress where the mystery guy just so happened to be.

"Holy shit!"

The two girls grabbed at each other, screaming in unison as the guy stared at them from the least expected place. "What in the world are you doing?!" screeched Yasuho as (y/n) remained glued to her side. The guy gave them both a sleepy grin that made (y/n) look away while biting her lip— she'd be lying if she didn't say that the Jo-guy wasn't hot and at that very moment she had been thanking her ancestor for passing down such a motto. Helping him meant staying around a pretty face after all.

"Hey, what's with you?" questioned Yasuho as (y/n) was pulled from her fantasies, "what're you doing down there?" Yasuho was definitely the better of the two for asking these questions. "What? Just what it looks like. I'm sleeping. The people wearing white clothes said I couldn't leave for a while," he replied while (y/n) crouched down and placed her chin in her hands, "what Yasuho meant to ask is why you're under there in the first place." The guy raised a brow from under his mattress, looking between the two girls.

"You mean people sleep on top? How would they put pressure on their bodies then?" Yasuho turned to (y/n) who could only muster half a shrug. "Sounds like a fetish or something," (y/n) said halfheartedly, "I mean, my great-great-grandma's friend said her friend had a thing for mosquito bites." Yasuho cringed just slightly before turning to the guy and holding out a box of dumplings that was smaller than what she had given to Joshu.

"Here, I got you a present. I thought I'd bring you something since you were in the hospital. (y/n) did too." As if on command, (y/n) held out the stuffed animal with a lopsided grin, "it kinda looked like you. Yasuho thought so too." Yasuho smiled in agreement and then started rambling about Joshu, his injuries, and why the two had come to visit while (y/n) nodded intermittently and the guy started to slide out from under the mattress. As he did so, the hem of his pants slowly slid lower and lower-

Four balls.

(y/n) broke out into laughter and turned away while Yasuho grimaced and shut her eyes tightly, crying out for him to stop before any more of his pants could fall off. While her friend had spiraled into mumbling against the wall, (y/n) had turned back around to find him examining the stuffed animal. "Like it?" (y/n) asked as he held it out in front of him, letting its limbs flop around. "Yes," he answered, turning to look at her from over his shoulder, "what is his name?" (y/n) hummed aloud in thought while plopping down onto the mattress.

"Mmm...Rohan is a cool name," she said with a smile, "but it's yours to name." The guy looked at her and then at the stuffed animal, setting it down next to her thigh and letting it flop on its side against her. "I like that name too." (y/n) felt the tip of her earns burn— it wasn't as if he had just flirted with her but she found his actions somehow attractive. The guy had now turned to Yasuho's gift, turning over the box and opening it carefully. "What are these?"

Yasuho had turned back around then with a raised brow, walking up beside him, "never had one? Morioh is famous for them." (y/n) watched fondly as Yasuho began to break into detail about the origins of the Sesame Honey Dumplings; ever since they were little, Yasuho had always had an addiction to them which eventually spread over to (y/n) when they became best friends during middle school. "...there's a special way to eat them. You gotta make sure not to bite with your front teeth."

"Oh, don't forget about chewing with your back teeth on the first bite," (y/n) added while the guy tentatively placed a dumpling in his mouth, doing the complete opposite of what he was supposed to. The black cream shot out from the gap between his teeth she hadn't realized he even had. It was...cute. As Yasuho reiterated what she had been saying, (y/n) couldn't take her eyes off him, especially when his odd-colored eyes glimmered with surprise.

MAN, OH, MAN DID SHE HOPE HE WAS A JOESTAR.

this cuts off at a weird spot but i felt this was pretty long already so yeah...lol

fmk alternatives: #2 for Zhao Yunlan, Pangzi, Wei Wuxian + #9 for Liu Sang, Hei Xiazi, Bai Haotian [~fan-man-huaisang]

@fan-man-huaisang taking the cross fandom approach, I see. ;D I ACCEPT.

[If anyone else would like to send some, here is the list!]

2. fist fight, get drunk with, share a flat with

OK, so of the three of these characters, there is LITERALLY ONLY ONE I would ever either share a flat with (he will do his share of the chores and he is an AMAZING cook and there would be SO MANY CUDDLES. I WOULD CUDDLE HIM SO MUCH, OMG.) OR go drinking with (he is literally the only one of the three who is not either a) a VERY maudlin and depressing drunk OR b) has ulcer flare-ups when he drinks O_o;;;) and it's Pangzi, but I can't choose him for both, so we're going to have to do some process of elimination here... ;D

So... my first thoughts was that, Zhao Yunlan, WWX, AND I are all ADHD DISASTERS so there's no way in FUCK I'm living with either of them because we wouldn't be able to even SEE each other under the piles of stuff strewn all over the floor.

...however. ONE COULD ARGUE that if Zhao Yunlan moves in with me, then it's only a matter of time before Da Qing does, too, and KITTY, so that is a definite bonus, AND Shen Wei will be hanging around a lot, which is a bonus of its own AND we know how he reacts when ZYL's flat is a giant disaster... HE CLEANS. So... MAYBE I could share a flat with Zhao Yunlan. If Da Qing and Shen Wei come with him. ^_^

I'm going to fist fight WWX because he fights with A MAGIC FLUTE and I need to learn that shit pronto. Maybe not with a flute, but a clarinet? A ukulele? Singing? IDK. But whatever. He is a master of creative fighting engagements and I want to learn.

And I'm going drinking with Pangzi (even though if I only had to pick one of these, I'd ABSOLUTELY choose to live with him instead), because he is a) a fun drunk and b) THE MAN DESERVES A DRINK AFTER ALL OF TLTR OMG and c) I don't drink much and when I drink anything at all I just get... very sleepy. And fall asleep. And then we could cuddle. There will be cuddling. So much cuddling. HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I WANT TO CUDDLE PANGZI BECAUSE I VERY MUCH WANT TO CUDDLE PANGZI. ^_____________^

9. watch a soap opera with, go to a play with, watch your favourite movie with

OK, I'm watching soap operas with Hei Xiazi, because he's fucking hilarious and he would make it SO MUCH FUN. He'd probably get up and start acting out the various parts. Or at the very least we could poke fun at the melodrama together. Because honestly, I read him as somewhere between the aro/ace and demi/demi part of the a-spec, and I think he'd find soap operas as ridiculous as I do and it would be a blast. ;D And omg, I really want to watch the Princess Bride with Bai Haotian because I genuinely think she'd enjoy it and because we could have a pajama party and shit and that would be so much fun. BUT. I feel REALLY REALLY BAD taking Liu Sang to a play because 1) they tend to be loud, 2) SO MANY PEOPLE and I know he's not a fan, and 3) all the people talking through the play would probably drive him NUTS, SO, we will ALSO stay home and watch a livestream of a play via Broadway HD. I'm sure we could find one we'd both like. ^_^

Yuletide 2021 Letter

Dear potential writer,

I hope this letter finds you well, but if not, then I hope this year's Yuletide gives you an extra dose of happiness to diffuse these chaotic times. A great story can be the simplest way to turn around someone's day and make life just a little bit brighter.

Thank you so much in advance for even taking the time to read this and considering writing for me.

Below are my desired fandoms/pairings and story ideas, but please don't feel stifled by the prompts. I’ve also listed my general likes and dislikes at the very bottom if you decide to go a different route.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021):

Characters: Shaun (Xu Shang-Chi) and Katy Chen (Chen Ruiwen)

I truly think this is one of the best Marvel movies to have come out in several years. There was a wonderful blend of lore, action, and humor. The characters were all so interesting and complex. In particular, I loved the characters of Shaun and Katy. Both were living ordinary and underwhelming lives, but for very different reasons. Shaun was trying to escape a dangerous and brutal childhood while Katy couldn't find her calling and was afraid of failure. By the end of the movie, both had conquered some of their obstacles and were no longer hiding but really living to their full potential.

While their individual journeys were compelling, their journey together was even more so. They had a hilarious dynamic as friends that was played up so well by the actors. They were supportive but also weren't afraid to call the other out. Also, I'll admit that in some of the end scenes, especially when Katy puts her head on Shaun's shoulder and then the whole dinner scene in San Francisco, I felt some potential couple vibes. I'm completely fine if you keep this pairing as friends but am also 100% on board for a romantic relationship.

Story ideas:

Katy's reactions as she found out more about Shaun's true identity and past dealings were hysterical. It would be neat to read some expanded scenes from her perspective (example: bus fight, fight club, meeting his sister/father, etc.) or even in some imagined "missing scenes."

I am always down for outsiders' POV of relationships. Getting the perspectives of several or even just one character on Shaun/Katy would be great. 

While there were definitely some freakout moments during the movie where the characters reacted rationally to some pretty crazy things, all in all, they remained fairly calm. I'd love to see either one or both of the characters break down under the weight of all the pressure and see how they help each other come out of that. This could be during canon or even post-canon. 

That ending leaves room for so many things to happen. Any type of post-canon story is welcome exploring the aftermath of the movie, what they do next, and/or even what a simple slice-of-life day looks like for them. Really, I'm interested in almost anything as long as they're doing it together!

The Queen's Gambit (TV):

Characters: Beth Harmon and Benny Watts

This miniseries is a lesson in character exploration done right. There were dark moments as we explored grief, depression, and addiction. I liked that the showrunners didn't shy away from these very real topics but also knew how to balance them out with lighter moments and not dwell too long in the dark. Beth Harmon was such a fully-fleshed-out character and was both flawed but immensely likable. I wanted her to succeed so much, especially seeing all that she'd gone through. 

The connections she made along the way were some of my favorite parts. In the most unexpected of places, she made these ever-lasting friendships that forever impacted the trajectory of her life. That scene toward the end where it showed all of her friends supporting her actually made me choke up. Of course one of the best of these friendships/relationships was with Benny Watts. Neither was perfect and yet they also worked so well together. They had similar ambitions and truly seemed to get each other. I understand why they broke up, but their sort-of reconciliation phone call at the end has me hopeful that they would have found a way to make it work offscreen. I'm really open to reading anything about the two of them, as long as it has a happy or hopeful ending. 

Story ideas:

While I loved that at the end of the day it was Beth alone that won her last match, it would have been interesting to see how things would have gone differently if Benny had gone to Moscow with her. 

In my head, Beth and Benny got back together after their phone call in Moscow. However you imagine this happening, I want to read it.

If you like all the tropes as I do, I'm up for an AU with these characters - soulmates, roommates, regency, sci-fi, etc. As long as the chess plot point is still there, write them into whatever universe you want.

I mentioned loving all of the different relationships she formed throughout the series. It would be interesting to see how Benny would interact with some of her friends like Mr. Shaibel or Jolene (just as examples).

Fate: The Winx Saga (TV):

Characters: Riven and Musa

This show was better than it had any right to be. I know it has its detractors but as a whole, I found it very enjoyable despite its flaws. It had a dark academia feel without getting too dark. It also was pretty short with its episode count and I need to know more about some of these characters and this world they live in.

Is it possible to ship two characters who only interact on screen (I think) once? Well, it has to be because I full-heartedly ship Riven and Musa. Their one scene together sold me. As with all of these fandoms, if you only want to write them as friends, that's fine. I just think they would have the best chemistry and such an interesting dynamic with their different personalities and roles at the school.

Story ideas:

It seems like one of the main reasons that Musa likes Sam is because things are quiet when she's near him. I don't necessarily think that's the only reason why she's with him, but I also think it could result in her staying with him longer than she should because of how he mutes everyone else's thoughts around her. Please no outright Sam bashing, but I'd like to see how Musa tries to manage the side effects of her powers without Sam and how Riven may play a part in that.

Out of all the fairies, I think Musa is the one I'd most like to see training with the specialists. Maybe it's because her powers are vastly underutilized (in my opinion), but I think she could have a lot to offer. She would have to convince Silva and Farah during canon (or someone else post-canon if you'd prefer) to join those practices. Seeing her train with Riven and become partners would be wonderful, especially having them go through missions or practice scenarios with the Burned Ones together. 

Riven makes a lot of mistakes during the first season and will have to do a lot to earn back the trust of his friends and instructors. I'd like to see how this could play out and how Musa may help him see his potential for redemption.

Any type of enemies-to-lovers story you want to write would be welcome. There is so much potential here for some wonderfully angst-filled scenes! It could be reluctant allies as they work toward a common cause, fake dating to get information on someone, their friends trying to pair them up despite their protests, etc.

Free Guy (2021):

Characters: Millie Rusk and Walter "Keys" McKeys

Video game movies are so much fun to watch and Free Guy was no exception. The back-and-forth from the real world to Free City was well done, allowing characters in both settings to have their own storylines and become people we were rooting for. While Guy was my favorite character because he was so endearingly kind-hearted and pure, it was Millie and Keys that I was most invested in. From their first scene together showing their interview for the game they created, Life Itself, I wanted to know more about their backstory.

It's not something I think much about when playing games, but the creators put in so much time and effort that they can't help but put some of themselves into the games as well. This can be reflected in different ways, but I loved that Keys basically put himself into what ended up being used for Guy's character, and that's why Millie fell so hard for him. I loved seeing her realize that it was Keys and not Guy that she cared for. It was also very satisfying to see Millie and Keys working together on games again along with Mouser after having to overcome so many difficulties with their work being stolen.

Story ideas:

While I love the movie's ending, I would still love to read more about Millie realizing that Keys has feelings for her. What happens after they cross the street?!

Millie and Keys obviously have a long history together, which we only get to hear about briefly in the movie. It would be neat to see how they first met, what they were like working together on Life Itself, what happened when they sold the game, interactions through the years, and then when they came back together again to save the Guy/the game. Essentially, give me some scenes throughout their history together and how their relationship ebbs and flows.

Post-canon, what are Millie and Keys up to? What new projects are they working on (maybe with Mouser) and what new challenges do they face? 

It's hard to believe that someone as self-centered as Antwan gave up so easily. I would love to read an alternative take of the server room scene with both Millie and Keys there. Or even something set after the movie where we find out Antwan lied and then Millie, Keys, and Mouser have to work to get their rights back (through espionage, courtrooms, etc.). 

Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs:

Characters: Leah Cornick and Bran Cornick

The world Patricia Briggs has created with Mercy Thompson and Alpha and Omega is ever-growing and continues to astound me with its complexity. It feels so real and has such a lush history that every surprise revelation is both shocking and simultaneously feels very organic to the story. I think the urban fantasy/paranormal aspects are handled very well, especially the werewolf dynamics and rules that Briggs has created.

One of the biggest shocks to me from the Alpha and Omega companion series is how much I've come to love Leah. I, like most readers, absolutely hated her when she was introduced in the Mercy Thompson books. But as we've come to learn more about her backstory and her relationship with Bran, I have a new level of understanding of why she is the way she is. She is so much stronger and more nuanced than I would have ever believed her capable. And while I still like Bran, he's also a much more flawed person than I originally thought. I realize there are a lot of books in this world, so don't worry about spoiling anything with your potential story. You can include as much or as little of the newer books as you'd like. I'm also going to keep my prompts relatively simple for this pairing. I only ask that Leah and Bran are not broken up. If you'd like to just write them in an adventure story without any romantic elements, that's totally fine. I would like them to remain together, though.

Story ideas:

What are the dynamics like between Bran and Leah now that he knows more about her past? How has his understanding of her personality and actions changed with these revelations?

For a long time, Bran and Leah were together without really being "together" in the emotional sense. I'd love to see them learning more about each other and falling in love all over again.

Leah is constantly full of surprises. What is something that she does that surprises Bran and/or the pack (preferably for the better), and how do they react?

While some of the more recent books have focused more strongly on Leah and Bran than in the beginning, I'd still not consider them the main characters so we don't always get to see the full fallout of all their storylines. Taking any of the major plots involving them and giving their perspective or showing what happens later would be wonderful.

Things I don’t like:

Non-Con/Rape/BDSM/Sexual Violence/Graphic Sex – I like my characters to be happy and everything within ships to be 100% consensual, no question about it (mentions of non-con if it occurred in canon is fine). I also prefer plot over porn, especially with one-shots.

OT3s – Two people per romantic relationship, please. Any more than that makes me uncomfortable.

Character Bashing - Unless a character is a bad guy in canon, I don’t want to read hundreds of words about how awful they are, especially if they are one of the characters that I requested. Don’t take it out on the characters. If you hate my pairings, just write gen.

Things I love:

Hurt/Comfort – There is nothing I love more than one character comforting another. The hurt can be physical, psychological, or both.  

Happy Endings – I’m all for the realistic endings… but if they could be plausible AND at least happy-ish, that would be amazing.

Expanded Scenes/Contorting Canon – Feel free to expand scenes and change up the canon to your heart’s content as long as it makes logical sense.

Humor/Banter/Snark – I thrive on this stuff.

Bonding/Building Relationships – Whether it be a friendship or a romantic relationship, I adore reading about two people growing closer together. When characters know each other so well that they can have conversations with just their eyes or anticipate the person’s next move (especially if it’s to the surprise/confusion of everyone around them), my shipper heart is thrilled.

Dark to Light – Seeing a character come out of a bad mindset or situation and get better is so satisfying.

Happy writing and I hope you get the Yuletide gift of your dreams!

[satans-left-asscheeky]

Hi! I'm not sure if you are currently taking requests but if you are I'd like to request how the F04 companions would react to a Sole Survivor who gets around by using Roller Skates!! Or just, is just really good at Roller skating in general.

Thank you! :D

This is so cute! Sorry for taking so long, but I hope you like it 💖

Maccready

"Hey- Wait up! This is so not fair!"

Much to his annoyance, he'd have to jog to keep up with sole which would lead to a lot of bitching from Mac. Eventually, he'd either just shut up about it or get his own pair because he hated lagging behind so much. If he did get his own pair, Sole would definitely need to teach him how to skate because the first time he put the roller blades on he was a wobbly mess.

Hancock

"Would you look at you... Havin' fun?"

He'd fully expect a turn once sole was done. Once he had the skates on he'd try and take off just like he'd seen sole do and end up falling on his ass, so whith a hurt rump and pride he'd hand them back to sole and decide to leave the skating to them

Cait

"Take those damn things off.... you look ridiculous"

She didn't think this looked like a good idea. Sole was liable to fall down and break something, and what a stupid way to get injured

Danse

"This doesn't seem the slightest bit safe"

the paladin would hold his breath every time he saw the skate by, even if sole somehow managed to never fall.

Curie

"Oh, this looks like so much fun! Wherever did you find these madam/monsieur"

She'd wanna try to roller skate! Although as soon as she fell down and scuffed her knees and gave Sole the "🥺" face Sole decided it was time to put them up for a bit, at least until they could get Curie knee pads

Deacon

"You look like those waitresses at the old dinners... ah man, all we need now is a jukebox, and we're set"

He'd think it was great. He'd love to see them whip by on their skates. He'd get a massive kick out of them, especially when des and carrington would give them an annoyed glance at hq. Priceless

Piper

"Where'd you find those!? No, really, we've gotta get a pair for Nat."

Her and sole would scrounge the commonwealth looking for a pair of roller skates in Nats size. Once they found one Sole would then have to teach the preteen how to skate. Overall, it was a pretty wholesome exchange

Nick

"Heh, look at you! Gotta say I still am mad the institute didn't give me wheels... would make getting around a lot easier."

Much like dee, he'd think it was hilarious and adorable. He'd be a bit jealous when they were easily able to outpace him, and his old rusted body couldn't keep up, but oh well.

Preston

"I mean, you'll definitely get to settlements faster wearing those...."

He doesn't really understand why they're wear them... was it some prewar tradition? Either way, it was fine by him since its making them faster overall. Now, if only they could equip some more minutemen with these.... they could really be there at a minutes notice.

X6-88

"When you inevitably fall, I will not be helping you back up"

He finds it annoying the way the zipped around. They were drawing far to much unwanted attention for his taste

CHAPTER FIVE

LILY KINGLSEY

Classes the next day seem to drag. I can't stop thinking about what happened last night in the common room. How easily my hand went to Malfoy's face when I was in such a blind state of anger. I felt guilty.

"Lily, stop worrying about it. He got what he deserved" Hermione smiles, placing her hand on mine.

I told everyone what happened over breakfast. How I slapped Draco. It didn't come to much of a surprise apparently. Ron thought it was hilarious. Harry and Hermione saw the funny side too, but I can tell they both saw how much it bothered me.

"I'm not worrying about it." I reply, snapping out of my daydream and continuing to write my essay.

"Lily, you've been stuck in your head all day" She tells me, and she's not wrong. "What's really bothering you?"

I sigh, the sickening feeling throwing itself around my stomach yet again.

"I didn't hesitate to hurt him Hermione. That screams Slytherin." I admit with guilt evident in my voice.

"Yes it does, because you are Slytherin Lily. I know how much you hate it, but you're also just like your father. You want to help the right side, just like he did."

"My mum would hate me if she knew what I'd done" I say, still feeling ashamed.

"I think she'd be bloody damn proud." Hermione is quick to say. "We all know that her and Harry's mum were two of the quickest witted and strongest women at Hogwarts. She'd of done exactly the same thing, if not worse."

I smile at her words. She's right. According to my father my mum was just like me. She had a short temper and she said what she was thinking. I could listen to him talk about her all day. His eyes light up with such joy whenever he tells me about her. It makes me proud to be their daughter.

"Come on, we can finish this tomorrow. Go get out of your uniform and we'll find the boys." She smiles.

I head back to my dorm and try to bask in Hermione's words. As hard as I try to dominate my mothers Gryffindor traits, I always seem to let my darker side slip out, and since the start of this year it only seems to be happening more and more. I wish she was here to guide me.

When I get to my dorm I pull open the door and get ready to change as quickly as possible, but I jump out of my skin when I see a figure in the corner of the room.

"Merlin Malfoy! What the fuck are you doing in here?" I yelp, not expecting to see the blonde haired boy sat in my window.

"Waiting for you" he hums, looking more relaxed than ever.

"Get out of my room" I demand, pointing towards the door.

"It's not just your room. For all you know I could be waiting for one of your roommates." he shrugs, leaning further back into the window frame.

"You literally just said that you were waiting for me" I spit, crossing my arms. I don't have time for this crap.

"What's with the rocks on your window?" He asks, completely ignoring me and picking one up, twirling it between his fingers in the sunlight.

"They're crystals. They have different healing energies."

"What does the green one do?" he questions, picking up the crystal that's our house colour.

"It's supposed to get rid of headaches."

"Does it work?" He raises an eyebrow, looking over at me from the window.

"Clearly not. You're still here." I reply blandly, rubbing my hands across my face. Why is he here?

He's hopped down from his position on the window now, and he's making his way over to me slowly.

"You're a real bitch, you know that?" He says calmly. He doesn't seem angry or offended by my words. He just simply makes his statement.

"Yes, you've told me before." He's so close to me I have to look up at him now. I bet his height gives him an incredible ego boost. I've never once been nice to Draco. I've always been a dick towards him and I'm aware of it, but when I hear him call me those words out loud I can't help but let them sting slightly.

"Well stop. It makes you annoyingly attractive." He says lowly, his grey eyes not leaving mine. My stomach drops. What the fuck?

"I...I- Wh- what?" I stumble over my words but he doesn't seem to acknowledge it. Any other time he'd use this as an opportunity to pull me apart.

"You heard me Kingsley." He looks down now at my lips. His thumb reaches to them and swipes against my bottom lip, pulling it ever so slightly as his rough skin catches it.

I'm terrified. Not only by the position i'm in but by the fact that I haven't shoved him off me yet. I'm letting him touch me. I want him to touch me.

"Draco, what are you doing?"

"Don't call me that." He hisses, his thumb leaving my lip, but sliding it across so that his hand now cups my cheek.

"Why not?" I breathe.

"Because it makes me want to do this" he whispers, placing his lips on mine.

My stomach completely erupts with butterfly's. Never once did I imagine that this would be happening. His lips are soft. So soft. He pushes against me slightly, deepening the kiss. I do the same, annoyingly not wanting to stop either.

He tastes like mint. He smells expensive. He feels amazing. He is amazi-

"What the fuck are we doing?" I pull away quickly when I stop myself from thinking the unimaginable.

"Kissing?" He replies, looking slightly shocked by the fact that I just yanked myself away from him.

"Dra- Malfoy. This is crazy! I slapped you literally just last night for being an asshole, and now you kiss me?" I yell, getting angrier by the second.

"Yeah, that was uncalled for." He states dryly.

"No it wasn't. I will never let any man degrade me, let alone a boy like you" I laugh slightly, shocked by this conversation i'm having.

"I didn't degrade you."

"Are you kidding me? All you ever do is degrade me! And my friends. You think you're better than everyone else!" It's frustrating me all the more that he's so calm during all of this. I want him to bite back.

He doesn't respond this time. He just looks at me, and as hard as i'm trying, I cannot for the life of me tell what he's thinking. "Say something goddamn it!"

"What do you want me to say?" he asks with more force.

"I don't know! You always have something to say. Some stupid shit that makes me feel like crap" I yell.

"Oh yeah? We'll have you ever noticed that you're exactly the same?" He spits, his demeanour quickly becoming less relaxed.

"Well maybe you should fucking stay away from me then!" I throw my hands in the air, completely infuriated by this situation. By him.

"I can't Lily! No matter what I do you're always there!"

We're both full of anger; heaving chests and red faces. I hate the boy. I truly do, but all I can think about is kissing his stupid face.

Before I know it. I'm the one pushing him against the wall. Both my hands cupping his face.

Unlike before, my lips move forcefully against his. Draco doesn't react at first. He stumbles backwards in shock. When I notice that it's just my lips moving I begin to pull away, but before I can his hands go to my waist and pull me against him. He's kissing me back.

"Christ, what are you doing to me Lily?" He mutters when he gasps for air. Hearing him say my name like that doesn't fill me with anger like it did last night, it makes me feel giddy and special.

His eyes are filled with hunger and lust. Ron was right; there is plenty of sexual tension that's been pent up, and we're finally realising it. Finally releasing it.

When we eventually pull away we're a pair of heaving chests, messy hair and lustful teenagers. I don't look at him to begin with. I'm embarrassed. Ashamed that I let my guard down and pinned the boy who makes me furious against a wall and kissed him.

"That was- something" Draco breaths, looking down at me. I don't say anything. He places his hand under my chin and tilts my head up to look at him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, i'm just confused" I say honestly.

"Me too. You drive me crazy Lily Kingsley, and I hate that." His eyes flicker between the two of mine. I've never known him to be so honest before, it's weird.

"Yeah well you do too." I say with a small smile. I watch as the corners of his lips tug upwards, making my heart swell. This isn't good. "I... I need to g-go."

I quickly remove myself from his embrace and grab my bag, ready to head out the door.

"You can't just leave" Draco laughs, clearly enjoying my panic.

"Yes I can. And you need to go too." I fluster.

"If you say so" he grins, straightening his collar. I stand and watch as he saunters to the door. "See you in class Kingsley."

And with that he's gone, and i'm left wondering what the hell just happened, and why i'm desperate for more.

What is your absolute favorite kind of chaeacter to write? Do you prefer a certain hender? Age group? And if you feel so inclined, I'd love to hear why.

Oh wow, I've never actually thought about any of that before. I'm still fairly new to writing (I only started writing for the first time last November, 2021), and haven't written enough different types of characters to really know which kind I prefer writing.

Honestly, how fun a character is for me to write, depends largely on what situation they've been put, and what other characters they interact with. Sans bantering with Papyrus, or being lovey dovey with Frisk, will always be more fun for me to write about, than if he were arguing with Chara, or talking with a stranger, for example. And I'll always enjoy writing about a character being a doting parent to their child, no matter who they are.

But if I had to give a proper answer, I'd say that my absolute favourite kind of character to write, would have to be one whose idea of what's "normal" is so abnormal to most people, that they never react to anything the way you'd expect them to (if that makes sense).

My best example would be my reader character from my fic "Good Girl Needs Kiss". Because she's a witch, who's very rarely interacted with people before, she has an odd way of seeing the world. Things most people would consider weird are, to her, perfectly normal, and things many would consider to be normal are, to her, fascinating and bizarre. If someone were to give her a flower, for example, her first thought would be how to use it in a magical potion. Her second thought would be to eat it. It would never occur to her that it was meant to be decorative. Any romantic connotations or intentions would, equally, be totally lost on her, unless specifically pointed out.

I absolutely loved writing her, because even just writing her thoughts made me constantly giggle aloud. She's so hilarious to me, that I can't help cracking up while thinking about how she'd react to something or someone, and how other characters around her would react to her. I love fluff and I love humour, so I love writing characters I find funny.

As for genders, I prefer writing female characters, solely because I, myself, am female, and so I find it easier to put myself in the headspace of a woman, rather than any other gender. It's why most of the characters whose personality and gender are left ambiguous (ie. Frisk and Chara) are women in my fics (that and because babies! They gotta have them babies! :3)

I don't have a specific age group I prefer writing, beyond just "adult". It's been a while since I've been a kid, and even when I was one, I didn't behave or think like any of the kids around me, and the only child I regularly interact with is my 3yo niece (who is very precocious), so I'm not sure how a "normal" kid is supposed to act like. I just write children how I want them to be, rather than what they might actually be like.

I hope I've managed to answer all of your questions properly. And thank you very much for asking them! I'd never given any of these any real thought before, so it was interesting having to seriously ponder them.

If anyone has any questions you'd like to ask me, about myself or my works, I'd love to hear them! (and unless they make me too uncomfortable, I'll definitely answer them)
