Hellooo! Because I cannot resist it. How is Daisy-raised-by-the-dursleys? I feel like having a sibling at least, does it make it better? Oh. And it just occured to me. Daisy would be left alone for two years, wouldn't she, when Harry goes to hogwarts?

AAAAAH I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!!

Daisy, at her core, is brave, smart, curious, and kind, no matter how (or by who) she's raised (she's also pretty stubborn). But it does translate differently in her words & actions depending on which!

For example — she likes to know things. When her parents raise her, it's because they fostered and nurtured her natural curiosity, and made her want to know things. When she's raised by the Dursleys? She needs to know to better protect herself and Harry. It's less about curiosity and more about the safety of knowledge.

So, with that being said—

Daisy raised by the Dursleys is quiet, observing, because she learned it was the best way to deal with them and anticipate their moods. She's pretty skittish, and like Harry, has a hard time trusting people, adults in particular (even more so after he tells her everything that happened in his two first years at Hogwarts!!). She's kind of always on the defense, waiting for the other shoe to drop, especially with settings & people she's unfamiliar with. By the time HBP comes around, for example, she's pretty at ease around the Weasleys and Hermione, at Hogwarts, or with the people in her dormitory.

And like Harry, her bravery tends to go toward self-sacrifice a lot of time. She's very protective of the people she loves, and kind of internalized that she's less important than,,, anyone, hence the self-sacrificing thing.

She also holds grudges like no one else, especially when it's a matter of betraying her or her brother. Always worse when it's her brother, even! OotP was hell for her, she was angry at everyone, probably argued with so many students, ended up in detentions so many times, etc. Harry was angry because he was grieving and traumatized, she was angry because they were all hurting her brother (and she couldn't help). Also she loathes Rita so much.

And aaaaaah Harry & Daisy's relationship in those circumstances is something I love bc. A lot of angst!!! They were always aware they only had each other in life, so they're very protective of each other. Harry assumes that as the older one he has to be the one protecting her (and she always feels safe with him, no matter what — she always finds comfort with him) but she does protect him too, as much as she can. Mostly because she hates seeing him hurt. They're each other's most important person (she's the one in the lake in GoF, not Ron!), and it shows. They usually don't really hide anything from each other, either. They may not say things right away, but they will end up doing it still! Honesty is important for them and between them.

And yeah, as you say, it's a bit easier to have a sibling by their side when raised by the Dursleys! They can support each other and help each other out — they have less chores, or at least they can do it together and create games out of it! But it's also harder, because they have to see each other being hurt, and the Dursleys absolutely use one to hurt/control the other. If Harry tries to escape Dudley and his gang, Dudley tells him they'll go after Daisy. If Daisy burns the food, Harry will have to eat it (even if it's carbonized). And in general, if one is punished, so is the other!

So, it's a bit of both.

Also, yes! She does spend two years alone with the Dursleys while Harry is at Hogwarts, which is. Not great. I do have a lot of ideas about all of this — mainly, Lily's second pregnancy was very secret, with only a handful of people knowing about it (partly because they were in hiding, partly because either the people they would have told were dead, partly because Lily wasn't sure who they could trust anymore). So, of course, Sirius knew, as well as Remus, Peter, and Mary (Macdonald). Add to this Dorcas (who was Lily's healer), and Dumbledore, who last saw Lily when she was very obviously pregnant. Generally, I also add Alice & Frank (Longbottom) bc i HC them as close friends (with James & Alice knowing each other since they were toddlers).

(Peter was going to be her godfather, btw :D)

And out of all of them... Well outside of Sirius, who was here in the aftermath of the attack, and Dumbledore, who dropped them off at the Dursleys (and you can add Hagrid & McGonagall here), no one knows she's alive. There was nothing about her in the newspapers, just about Harry surviving the Killing Curse and James and Lily dying, and since her birth was not announced, they assumed she died with Lily. (So at the beginning of PoA Remus has an instant where he thinks he's hallucinating lmao.)

People are going to be very surprised when it'll come to her Sorting! (She's a Gryffindor all the way.)

So! Harry's first year, she goes to Diagon Alley with him & Hagrid. Her and Harry had a convoluted plan about getting her to Hogwarts secretly so she would be away from the Dursleys but it just never happened because the Dursleys locked her up before dropping Harry at King's Cross. The year is pretty hard on her but she does her best to make it better! She exchanges letters with Harry (Hedwig knows to only come at night and be very quiet), she manages to sneak into Diagon Alley a few times and sit down in a corner of the bookshop to read about this new world, and when she has moments alone she tentatively tries to make her magic work without a wand. (She's pretty successful too!) Harry still stays at Hogwarts for the holidays (she convinces him to), and he sends her a gift bought with his (!!!!) own money. She doesn't know how to access her vault (she thinks she'll get turned down if she doesn't have the key), so she sends him a homemade gift as usual. Harry mentioned her to Ron and Hermione (not a lot because he's still protective and he feels like he has to hide her to keep her safe), so when Ron tells his mom about Harry, he tells her about Daisy too (he tries to keep it vague as to not betray Harry though). So she gets a Weasley gift too!! She's overjoyed and specifically makes a gift for both Molly and Ron, as a thank you. And that's about it!! She spends the rest of the year trying to stay away from the Dursleys (Vernon is even more awful than usual, Petunia is hot and cold bc she misses her son and wants to coddle someone but also ugh magic u know), and doing what she has been doing. Harry and Daisy hug a lot when he comes back (they've never been apart so long before).

The beginning of CoS is basically the same — Dobby comes by, messes things up, and they get terribly punished for it, Ron and the twins come to save Harry. Harry refuses to leave without Daisy, so they sneak her in. She's amazed by the Burrow but also very very quiet and constantly hiding behind Harry. He's not phased, but Ron is very confused (mostly that it doesn't annoy Harry, because if Ginny did that with him he would hate it).

(Bonus points for imagining Scabbers' reaction to seeing Daisy lmao. He probably didn't catch Harry mentioning her before, and here she's in, in the flesh, the girl who would have been his goddaughter. Feel the regret, Peter.)

The Weasleys have to send her back when the summer is over, though :C Molly did want to keep her with them (she wasn't happy about the empty and hey!!! new daughter!!), but it just couldn't happen. The Dursleys are not happy, and she does get punished for what happened, but otherwise things go the same way as the year before. Harry doesn't tell her everything about the petrifications & all right away (he only does it when he's back for the summer), and they both get a bit confused because Daisy is a Parselmouth, too (which doesn't quite work with Dumbledore's theory about why Harry is one).

For PoA — well, Marge is her delightful self once again, she gets blown up like a balloon but neither Harry nor Daisy is sure which one of them did that, and they run away together. They end up at the Leaky Cauldron, meet Fudge (who has a moment of utter confusion when seeing Daisy because he has no idea who she is), get a room for two, and have a blast for the two (three?) weeks they live here. She also has to do her first year shopping, which she's excited about, and they do it together! Which is great! The whole Sirius Black thing is a bit worrying, even more so when Harry learns he's apparently the target, but oh well. Daisy decides to be optimistic. Then they meet the Dementor on the train — Harry has the same reaction as in canon, of course (what he hears changes slightly). Daisy reacts very badly too! She completely freezes up, and basically dissociates. Remus thought for a moment here (when he comes back and she's still not doing well) that she got Kissed with how vacant she looks. (After the Quidditch match, she ends up in the infirmary for the whole weekend.) So that's not a very great start for her first year.

The rest is better, but still bittersweet — she's amazed and curious about everything, but scared by all the new things and people and easily overwhelmed. Also, Snape is creepy and looks at her weird (she looks like her mother). Good point is, ofc, Professor Lupin™, and Daisy joins Harry in his Dementors lessons! She doesn't manage to get anything but a small silver cloud, but she's just a first year, so that's still pretty amazing lmao. (She keeps on training the following years, just in case.) She's very fond of Hagrid too, so she follows Buckbeak's case closely (her best friend is a Ravenclaw by the name of Astoria Greengrass, and she helps her out). Which means she's here when the night™ happens. (The Golden Trio caught her sneaking out and took her with them.) Things really much go the same way, with Sirius promising both Harry and Daisy to take them in, the Full Moon, Peter escaping, the Dementors. She's totally knocked out after so she misses the time travel, though :C (she's knocked out for days to the point they're worried they'll have to get her transferred to St Mungo, which also means she misses Remus leaving, and she's not happy about it.)

GoF goes the same — Quidditch World Cup, attack, Triwizard Tournament, etc. She obviously never believes Harry would put his name in, and yells at the other Gryffindors who plans a party that Halloween's night. She's Harry's most important person, as said previously, and she manages to get herself invited because she wants to go to the Yule Ball too!! She's staying at Hogwarts anyway!! I'm hesitating a bit if she rushes to Harry right away after he and Cedric appear again, and follows him and fake-Moody, or not. Probably yes. In any case, they end up cuddling in his infirmary bed bc she needs the reassurance he's still here (Padfoot's here too!) (Harry probably snuck her out of Hogwarts once or twice so she could visit Sirius in his cave lmao.)

OotP... Idk if she would be here when the Dementors attack or not. I'm not sure yet. She goes to Grimmauld Place, of course, and also she asks Remus to be her godfather because Harry has one and she wants one too (Sirius is laughing his ass off). Remus is flaggerbasted but accepts. She absolutely hates Umbridge, joins the DA, and she comes to the Ministry at the end. I think it would be the year where she really starts wondering about the connection between Harry and Voldemort, and tries to look into it. Ginny says it's not possession and she trusts her, so it must be something else, and she's determined to find out what.

Again, the main events of HBP don't change. She knows about the prophecy (re: Harry and Daisy not hiding anything important from each other), meets Slughorn with Harry, and while she's not in the office with Dumbledore and Harry Harry still tells her about what happened there. Not the details, but the basis, at least, so she ends up knowing about the Horcruxes (she doesn't link it up to Harry right away, though). She's not here in the cave, but she participates in the battle.

For DH, she's probably smuggled out of Privet Drive before Harry, maybe at the same time as the Dursleys. She's not going with them, though, lmao. She ends up at the Burrow too, helps out with the wedding, and is very happy about it. Idk if Dumbledore would leave her something. When the DE attacks the wedding, Remus is the one to take her with him out of danger, so she stays with him for a bit. Either they get found out or she tries to go back to Hogwarts, but in any way the DE tries to get her to use her against Harry, fails, and she ends up living at Shell Cottage with Bill and Fleur during the whole year. She sees Ron when he ends up here and they talk a bit, and then months later she gets reunited with her brother!! Harry updates her on the Horcruxes and everything she helps them out with their plans. She can't come though. She does come to Hogwarts with Luna and Dean for the Battle :D Harry is not Happy™ but she doesn't care, it's her fight too, and she's not leaving him alone in it. She kind of does her own things during the first half of the battle (mostly surviving, trying to find her friends, etc), and then waits for Harry when he's watching Snape's memories. She kind of guessed the Horcrux thing by now, but hoped to be wrong. She makes him swear to come back and then let him go alone in the Forest. She's devastated when Voldemort says he's dead, but then well, the rest happens and she knows he's alive :)

And that's. About it. For Daisy raised by the Dursleys. Jsjdndjndjdbfb I realize that I. Wrote a lot. Probably a lot more than what you expected. Sorry!!!! I couldn't stop. But also while I do have fics planned with her none is a fic following her during her school years in a canon-universe-but-she-exists so... Yeah kdjdjf.

Congrats if you read all of that, and thank you so much! ❤️✨🥰

[orion4ever]

HIIII! It's the paranormal enthusiast mc anon again, I loved that SMSM THANK YOUUU! I'm back with another request :)

(Sorry if this is worded wierd, I couldn't figure out how to word it lmao)

Could I request a Baxter x past dance partner MC? MC used to do competitive dancing, and during contests and competitions in their past the two were often paired together. They immediately clicked the first time they danced together, and paired with eachother every chance they could get. After step 2, maybe mc stopped dancing or something happened that caused them to stop being paired together/not see eachother as often, and they didn't meet again until the summer :)

gsjskw aaaaaah I don't know how to word this correctly and I apologize if it's too specific, feel free to change this around or edit it if you want to!

Thank you again, and have a wonderful day/night! :>

Author’s Note: ….Okay this is freaky af because I WAS LITERALLY RETHINKING THIS SCENARIO IN MY HEAD. Are you a mind reader? 😦 if you couldn’t tell, I went HARD with this request! I wrote this with the MC and Baxter not meeting at the Soiree moment but at this competition instead.

Pairing: Baxter Ward x MC

🖤🤍

Let me set the stage-

You and Baxter are both very talented dancers , maybe the best in the pacific region’s teen category.

You have been fostering this skill since you were a little kid and have proven to your dancing instructor at the Cypress of your affinity with ballroom dancing.

All the cypresses in America held a ballroom dance competition with each Cypress nominating one person per age group to represent their location at the contest.

At age 13, you were selected to represent the teen and pre-teen category!

You were a bit nervous about it, especially it being your first competition.

You also didn’t expect to be making a charming new friend, or a future summer boyfriend.

˚ ༘♡ ·˚ ₊˚ˑ༄ؘ

You stood in the huge dancing hall, the tall shiny roof and shiny marble floors showing a reflection of yourself. The trip hadn’t been too long, this year’s annual competition took place at a Cypress in Nevada.

You looked around the room and noticed people of varying ages, you zeroed in on any kids around your age to ‘scope out the competition’ as your instructor would call it.

In the distance, an older gentleman pulled a mic from under a cabinet in a far-off corner of the room and tapped it a few times.

“Testing….testing…Welcome! To the annual ballroom competition. We would like to thank all our out-of-staters for making the trip to the Cypress’s Nevada location.”

The big room echoed with a loud applause from the crowd. The older man allowed them to finish before continuing.

“For any new competitors, I will quickly go over any etiquette and rules. Two competitors, each representing a different state but sharing an age category will pair up. They will be competing together and will both receive a trophy for their Cypress.”

Some of the pre-teens groaned at having to socialize with strangers, earning a few giggles from the older dancers.

“We do this to save on time and…to make it more interesting. As dancers, you should experiment with other dancing partners to see who matches your style and rhythm; like a therapist.”

The older gentleman added that last part to joke but it only earned a cough and an awkward laugh from the other side of the room.

“…AHEM. Uh yeah! We will start with the younger category, Categories teens and up should begin pairing with their dancing partners. Remember, it’s all friendly competition here!”

The older gentleman put the mic down and scratched his head, clearly embarrassed that his one joke landed flat.

The little kids all ran towards the middle of the dance floor and started pairing up quickly with each other, laughing and already giving each other hugs.

You envied how quickly they could make friends and pair up, maybe it’s them not having any awkwardness to them yet. You couldn’t say the same for the other categories all either awkwardly shuffling towards new people or instantly jogging towards acquaintances and friends.

You stood to the side and looked around, you were a bit anxious about the possibility that you would be left without a partner. You weren’t mentally prepared to meet any new dance partner.

You twiddled your thumbs and watched on. You were just about to test your luck with a teen who looked just as awkward when you felt a noticeable tap on your shoulder.

You turned around and spotted a very handsome boy, maybe a year older than you. His casual smile widened when he got a look at your face. His hair was a dark black. His skin, was pale and pink at the cheeks. A mole placed on his neck and finally the most intense

Deep brown eyes.

He looked as if he should be modeling for DIOR or if he should be a star in some movie. His neatly pressed suit made him look like a prince.

“Hello there. I am Baxter, Baxter Ward.” He introduced himself, extending a hand for you to shake.

“I noticed that you don’t have a partner and I was hoping to fix that.” He said. The young man had a distinctive voice.

You gave him a neutral smile and shook his hand back.

“I am Y/N L/N. It’s nice to meet you.” You greeted him in return and then answered his question.

“That would be great actually, This is my first competition so I am a little all over the place.” You chuckled nervously, rubbing your arm. The brown-eyed boy nodded.

“It gets easier, I promise.” He reassured before asking a different question.

“Which state are you representing?”

“Oh, uh I am representing California!” You replied, crossing your arms proudly. Baxter’s face somehow brightened even more.

“Oh, wow! How wonderful, I am representing Oregon.” He chuckled. You made a small exaggerated gasp before lightly clapping your hands together.

“We’re like..like neighbors! That's so cool!” You grinned.

Baxter paused at the thought, putting a hand to his chin in an equally exaggerated way.

“I never thought of it that way..” he said thoughtfully before giving you a polite but genuine smile.

“Let’s do good for Oregon and California then.” He said confidently, you nodded at the sentiment.

You and your new dance partner now stood next to each other, watching the little babies dance with each other. While they’re dancing was silly, they all looked to be having fun and some even paused their swinging to ask the other what their favorite colors were or if they wanted to get ice cream after the competition.

Baxter made an amused sound before turning back to you, wanting to make conversation and also…wanting to hear your insight.

“If only we could all make friends that quickly.” He sighed softly, stuffing a hand in his pocket.

“Tell me about it.” You chuckled. “What makes it easier for them anyway? Are they just more social?” You questioned more to fill the air than actually wanting hearing an answer so you weren’t expecting Baxter to reply with his own opinion.

“I personally think it’s because they aren’t as burdened with fears of rejection yet, it makes them more confident.” He commented. You blinked before agreeing.

“That makes sense. I wonder where all that confidence goes when we age.”

It was silent again, the younger categories finished up their round with everybody including the both of you, giving a round of applause for them.

“We will now have the preteen and teen division go up next.”

Baxter turned to you and offered a hand. “Shall we?”

You in return, took his hand “We shall.”

The two of you walked to the middle of the room and got into position. Baxter took the initiative and offered to lead. The older gentleman behind the counter hit a few buttons to activate the music in the speakers. The other contestants began to dance and spin around, unlike how silly and unserious the way the babies danced; everybody currently on the floor struggled to get acquainted with their dance partner’s style. Lots of accidental stepping-on and half spins that didn’t go through.

You and Baxter were extremely different though. While you guys did start a little rocky, with never dancing with each other before. The two of you warmed up quickly and danced very well together.

You two swung and spun around as if you guys had danced with each other billions of times.

But more importantly, it looked as if Baxter was having fun dancing with you.

And you enjoyed how familiar and fun it was to dance with him.

Baxter whispered something to you, “You are very talented,….and you have nice legs.”

“Wait what?”

It was now an unofficial tradition to pair up together, and you guys did for the next two years. While you and Baxter weren’t that close back then, you still had fun conversing with one another and being able to dance so freely with each other; you enjoyed how straightforward he was and lightly teased him for how formal he sounded and he played around and equally enjoyed your company, you didn’t know it then but you two felt a click.

So it was extremely unfortunate when you injured your ankle permanently and would have to stop dancing for a while, it had happened during the winter so you weren’t able to tell that charming boy goodbye or to explain to him why his dance partner had suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. It broke your heart, that those sparks you had when you danced with him would never be replicated.

You never thought you would see him again, Until that fateful summer of 2016. You sat in both awe and shock as Baxter stepped out from the passenger side of his taxi, he turned towards you and Cove; his neutral eyes narrowing when he took a look at you before a look of recollection replaced it.

“…Y/N? Is that you over there?” He questioned loud enough for you to hear.

“BAXTER??”

Cove looked between the both of you. “Huh?”

[yumesei]

I'm literally on my knees begging you to tell us more about the doggy hybrid AU!!! You keep off handedly mentioning it and yet you seem to publicly post very little information about it.

Aaaaaah I just didn't think anyone would be interested in me randomly explaining it, but if you ask you shall receive (I love yapping sm) 👀

Disclaimer : this is kinda long

On the worldbuilding side, it's a AU where both humans and animal/human hybrids exist but hybrids are rare. I didn't really dig on where they came from but if I had to choose I'd say genetic mutations or something like that.

S.oap is a canine hybrid. It shows physically through him having big fluffy canine ears and tail and bigger/sharper fangs. But also internally (?), by that I mean that he has enhanced senses and slightly better reflexes of the canine instincts (which definitely make him even better as a soldier). Meanwhile Sei is just a human.

Their first encounter was when Sei start working at the Coalition. She had never saw hybrids before but had heard tales of them. She ends up being assigned in intel on a mission where S.oap will be sent, so they ends up in the same briefing. And she doesn't know him but she can't stops staring at him cuz he's a mf hottie/cutie (the contrast between his muscular frame, the military stance he has when he's serious and then.... The fluffy canine attributes is definitely something) and she's just curious about hybrids overall since it's her first time seeing one. But she tries to stop herself as to not look like a creep. But the constant back and forth of her sneakily staring at him and then going back to flook at something else while frowning (scolding herself) make it looks to him like she has disdain towards hybrids, therefore he confronts her cuz he's not gonna let anyone be racist (?) against him and his species like that, especially if they're gonna work together.

He do quickly get that she isn't while the confrontation (girlie is trying to apologize real hard without making it worse). But since their first impression was a misunderstanding they're a bit tense at first. But they warm up to each other over time until blablabla they get together.

Now, what I love and find interesting in this AU (outside the aesthetic of big soldier with a fluffy appearance, which I already love). Is how his love would be slightly different with canine instincts : especially with the concept of mates (now, dogs do not have mates. But most canine/canid species do. Which is why even tho I call this a "dog hybrid AU", I actually prefer to leave him as a non-specified canine hybrid, maybe a mix of things).

Since canines usually mate for life, they have that deep instinctual need to protect and provide for their mate. At some point in their relationship S.oap (his hybrid instincts, that subconscious part of him) would recognize Sei as his mate. And that allows us to explore a more "submissive" interpretation of him.

And don't get me wrong, I don't mean submissiveness as in "whiny puppy". S.oap is a tough, confident, and competitive soldier that thrives in high-pressure situations. His instincts don't change his personality. But, his they create a layered dynamic when it comes to Sei, his mate. This submissiveness is a deeply ingrained part of his biology, not a reflection of his personality. His "submissiveness" isn’t rooted in the typical idea of being submissive in a relationship. Instead, it’s tied to his hybrid instincts and how they perceive his mate.

For hybrids like him, the bond with a mate is deeply instinctual and sacred. It’s not about power dynamics, it’s about trust, loyalty, and the biological drive to protect and nurture. Sei (as his mate) , triggers a part of him that wants to ensure her happiness, safety, and comfort above all else. His instincts naturally attune to her needs and emotions, whether it’s offering comfort when she’s upset, being hyper-aware of her presence, or even adjusting his behavior to her moods. Outside of their dynamic, he is still the same strong, confident soldier, but when it comes to Sei, that softer side instinctually emerges because she’s his mate, his priority, and his heart. It also makes him deeply loyal (he already is as a human but u get it).

Now back on a more world-building side. There's probably a clash between his (and most hybrid soldiers) instincts and soldier mentality. Which probably created regulations against putting mate in the same squad, because in case of danger they should follow the old "mission first" rule but their instinct would be screaming "mate first".

For S.oap it must be particularly agonizing. Because his instincts are a whole part of his subconscious, but to me, being a soldier is as equally part of him. It's a whole part of his identity, engraved in his flesh, running through his blood. So sometimes the two would conflict, and if he doesn't have to choose between his mate and his duty in dangerous situations since she doesn't go on the field. Having to go onto months longs mission away from her must trigger the same dillema in his brain (even if softer).

What I also like is how Sei would have to "learn" how to love him "right" (kinda). Like, mates is an animalistic concept and she's just human. She doesn't feel that instinctual pull (she chooses to love him everyday, which is just as cool to me), it doesn't mean she don't love him as deep as he loves her, but she'll have to learn how to attune to his instincts so he doesn't get overwhelmed by them. Since it must already be pretty confusing to have a human mate, someone who don't really get what happens in your head or give exactly back what you're giving them . But a lil hardship is always interesting for relationship development.

On another note, I like to think that if he's relaxed around you then you can read his emotions like an open book through the movements of his tail and ears. (which he probably learn to stop bc of the job, so it happening naturally means he trusts you).

Also..... Hybrids fitting clothes and uniforms.... With holes for tails and ears.... So cute.

And i'm not gonna go into nsfw territory but he has a rut 🙏

School Shopping Chapter 1.

Hey everybody. I'm going to take a stab at writing a fanfic! This is when my Amanda OC, Piper first joins the crew. 

Riley finds a new tape called: Let's get school clothes! They put the tape into the player and it starts. 

"Hi friends, I'm Amanda!" Amanda says, as always with her usual wave. 

"And I'm Wooly!" Wooly beams. 

"And today we're going to get some new school clothes!" an unfamiliar voice says, popping in from the left of the screen.

"Aaaaaah!" Amanda and Wooly scream, completely startled. 

"Summer's over, and that means it's time to go back to school! But our old clothes from last fall don't fit us anymore. You know what that means, it's time for some school shopping!" the stranger continues, completely unfazed. 

"Um, excuse me," Amanda interrupts sharply, "Who the heck are you?" 

"Hm? Oh, right. Silly me! I should introduce myself." she giggles, "I'm Piper! I moved into the neighborhood just today. It's nice to meet you!" She extends a hand to shake that they don't take. She doesn't look like the other strangers Amanda and Wooly have encountered in the past, who look like they were drawn in a completely different style. She looks like them. Amanda and Wooly stare at her suspiciously. She pulls back her hand and begins observing her surroundings with a smile. "What a quaint little neighborhood." She remarks. Amanda and Wooly look at each other with unease and nod. 

"Alright lady cut the crap-" 

"Amanda!" Wooly gasps. I thought we were interrogating her? Amanda thinks, wiping Wooly with a sharp glare. 

"B-but crap is a bad word..." 

"Grow up Wooly." Amanda says, rolling her eyes.

"Is there a problem?" Piper asks, tilting her head cutely, which pisses Amanda off. 

"Drop the act. Why are you here?" 

"Oh that. See, your parents were starting to feel a bit uneasy letting you play out here all on your own so they hired me to keep an eye on you." 

"Like... a babysitter?" Wooly asks. 

"Yep, exactly." She nods. "I hope we can become the best of friends." 

"Drop the act, rodent." Amanda snaps. "Hameln sent you here right? What's your deal?" 

"Oh... guess there's no fooling you huh? You're so smart." Piper says sadly, looking towards the ground. "Yes, see Hameln has thought your little activities have been going a bit too far so they wanted someone to monitor you." 

"So you're working for them." Amanda scoffs. 

"No! I thought what Hameln had done to you was so cruel! So I volunteered to be put in here so I could help you!" She explains, waving her arms around frantically. "I wanna be your friend!" 

"Oh Amanda!" Wooly says loudly, "You forgot your backpack at home!" 

"Gee, Wooly you're right!" 

"I should go with you to get it, because walking around the neighborhood alone is unsafe!" 

"Oh, I'll come too!" Piper beams. 

"No." Amanda shots back. 

"We'll be fine, it won't take long." Wooly laughs nervously. They quickly ran to Amanda's house and closed the door behind them and checked in the window to be sure she wasn't there. "I don't think we should trust her."

"Oh really?" Amanda replies sarcastically, "What ever gave you that impression?" 

"I mean... she says she's on our side but look," they both watch her from the window, she waves at them. "don't those ears look familiar to you?" 

"Duh. They're the same as the ones in the Hameln logo." 

"Exactly." Wooly whispers. 

"So? I thought you liked Hameln." 

"Well..." Wooly says nervously. He notices Piper is gone from the window and falls silent. "A-Amanda..." 

"Whatcha talking about?" Piper asks, appearing behind them. They both gasp in surprise. 

"NOTHING!" Wooly shouts, "We just didn't know where Amanda left her backpack is all. Haha... hahaha..." He's terrible at this. Amanda thinks. 

"We better hurry, the mall is going to be open soon!" Piper beams. 

"The Mall?" Amanda and Wooly look at each other with confusion. 

Chapter 1 end. Should I do more? :)

[notyourjaem]

don’t know if anybody has sent any thoughts about seungcheol but perhaps im the first one.

was thinking heavy about boyfriend seungcheol who would spoil you to death, buying you everything you want such as makeup, nice bags, skincare, basically anything you briefly mention to him you like.

also been heavily thinking about protective bf seungcheol, who would always look out for you in public. towering over you on public transit when he sees somebody eyeing you, or pulling you closer to him when you mention somebody is making you uncomfy. he’d be heavy on sharing your location with him so he can make sure you’re safe.

i could’ve elaborated more but im at work and keep getting sidetracked ANYWAYS

AAAAAAH protective boyfriend seungcheol…..this is definitely something….

the type to stand very close to you on public transit (or sit) allowing you to look at your phone as much as you want because you know you’re safe with him. if he sees someone get too close or try something, he pulls you against him to give a signal that you’re with him. also will always hold your bag. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bright pink fluffy bag, he’ll carry it always. !!!heavy on the location sharing. goes both ways, you have his and he has yours. he’ll easily drop everything if you need a ride back from somewhere or need something. he doesn’t want you to take a taxi, at least not without him.

omg the other side of him!!!

would totally walk around Sephora with you, watching you try on and test all kinds of different products and fill up a hand basket. then, he’s pulling out his wallet and credit card no matter what the cost. goes for anything. you want that purse? done. probably would buy you matching cartier bracelets too.

The End of the World With You Ep 2

Well okay, Japan. Apparently we’re not shying away from the sexy stuff here. Rock on. 

Wait, does this mean that this is going to have a bad end? Because I feel like this means that this is going to have a bad end. 

So Masumi isn’t a virgin in the most literal sense eh? That kind of makes sense, actually. So does the fact that he’s clearly inexperienced with actually enjoying himself/liking the person he’s sleeping with. 

Uh oh. Man, is it just me who can see the inevitable crash to earth coming? Just consider Masumi’s heart the meteor in this sense. But good for him for getting a lot of fun in first. It’s gonna hurt when this very clear player breaks him, but on the bright side he’s getting to have a lot of hot sex before that?

And yep, there it is. Ritsu isn’t a fan of committing. Shocking. 

Wait, what? Rude? (okay ha, Masumi literally said that two seconds after I did)

Yeah, this talk should have been had well before this, guys. There’s nothing wrong with open relationships, but both parties need to be aware of what’s happening. Although I guess Ritsu doesn’t consider it a relationship. I do feel like with the love confessions maybe he really should have clarified. 

AAAAAAH. I feel for Masumi but stalking is not the way. Neither of course is threatening to out someone. This is so messy in a way that feels kind of real, though. I’ll give it that. Masumi’s bitterness feels real too. 

I’m kind of fascinated by how differently they both view their brief time as lovers. I bet because Masumi can only remember how it ended, while Ritsu is thinking more about the good time before. And whatever feelings that Masumi evoked in him.

Well, as if learning that a meteor is going to hit earth and kill everyone and having to come to grips with your own mortality in ten days isn’t enough of a shock, I’m sure having your ex-lover ask you to help him dispose of a body will do the trick. I don’t think I was supposed to cackle at that bit.

But I did. 

This is certainly going places. I have to say that I expected to hate Ritsu a lot more than I do. He was callous and really dumb, thinking that he could just sleep with whoever and it was fine so long as no one knew about each other, but also again, if that’s what he wants to do there’s really nothing wrong with it aside from the not being open with your partner. Methinks though that he knew damn good and well Masumi was not the sharing kind, and he wanted to have his cake and eat it. That’s what makes him a jerk. 

I intensely dislike the bisexual person can’t commit trope, though. 

Also, I hope that someone comments on the fact that not only does Ritsu have a dead body in his place, said dead body seems fairly young. What the hell were you doing, dude?

[plaindangan]

👉🏼👈🏼 Hiyoko giving a caked up Chihiro the sloppiest rimjob of his life?

Disclaimer: Below is content that's more on the racy side! If not for you, you probably shouldn't read!

"I always knew you were a dirty slut!~" Hiyoko said to her 'victim'. Granted, that's probably how most people saw their relationship given Hiyoko's general attitude. But truth was the two had been secretly seeing each other for a while now with Chihiro loving Hiyoko for her self-assuredness and Hiyoko for just how darn sweet he was.....

Okay, and that fact that the programmer had one of the fattest asses she ever known helped. Pale, jiggly and always barely peeking out of his skirt, Hiyoko couldn't resist pinching it or giving it a hearty slap whenever they were alone together. But tonight...she wanted to try something different. Ordering Chihiro to bend over on on the bed, she had him remove both his white panties (which honestly weren't doing a good job anyway) and hike up his skirt.

There it was. The meal she had been craving for all day!~ A bit nervous, Chihiro knew she was behind him...but not what she planned to do. "Ah, Hiyoko what exactly is going to happen?"

"Hehehehe!~ Don't you fret your pretty little ass!~ Just relax and enjoy!~" Kneeling down, Hiyoko grabbed both of his cheeks and gently spread them apart. Flushed, Chihiro's remained quiet wanting to see what was going to happen.

Licking her lips at the programmer's pucker, Hiyoko let out one last 'head's up' before continuing: "Thanks for the meal!~"

"H-huuh? Aaaaaaaaaah!!!~" Chihiro squeaked as the dancer dove in, eagerily licking and slurping Chihiro's ever so sensitive pucker. The programmer gasped in utter surprise, moving reflexively...but quickly he was over come by the sheer sense of pleasure from such an arrangement. Hiyoko...was really getting in deep with him. His cock quickly grew hard as a rock.

"Aa--aaaaaah!~ H-hiiiiyooookooo!~"

"Heheheh, knew you'd like this!~ Now stay still! I'm eating!~" With a good smack to his butt for good measure, earning a yelp from Chihiro, Hiyoko got back to it like a greedy swine she always accused Mikan of being~

Before long, Hiyoko would find that had some nice, warm, 'milk' to also go with her food!~

[btscontentenjoyer]

Aaaaaah I'm finally reading this series and I'm so exciteddddd (sorry if this sounds dramatic but I've been looking forward to reading this one for a while now)

"Neither of you got it in the end; the professor said you and Jungkook had too much “unhealthy” competition going on and decided to bestow the honor upon the third highest ranked in class which was Hoseok. (Okay, that was good for him, but still.)" Huh? That seems extremely unfair tbh but good for Hobi lol!!! Imagine if instead the professor had given both of them the internship and forced them to work together 👀

"He isn’t. Though he was surprised that the school library even had a shelf for contemporary autobiographies, the only reason he borrowed it was because Taehyung mentioned in passing that it’s one of your favorite books." Okay first of all that's extremely adorable of him to do. And second of all that's my favourite book too!!!! OC has great taste.

“No, no… I mean– Just do it, will you?” Lmao he's so not slick and it's kind of cute.

"Dinner this Saturday? – JK" Cuteeee. Although if he had to remind her to open the book, it wasn't such a good plan, was it lol.

“Yeah? It’s a date?” he asks, gazing down at you with those stupid doe eyes that you haven’t fully taken in until now. They compel you to nod." They're so cute hehehe, both totally not knowing what to do in this situation that's so different from the usual dynamic between them.

“Yes,” your lack of hesitation only spurs on his chortles. He sounds like he could be an Elmo impersonator." Lmaoooo an Elmo impersonator, now I sound like Elmo too, laughing at this.

"A goodbye to your old dynamic now that a line has been crossed and you two can never go back to the way it was. A hello to a new beginning and to the seeds that it’s planting in your chest, right beside your heart." We've only gotten to hear a little about their previous dynamic and yet this change in it makes me feel giddy and happy for them already 🥺

“I’ve been wanting to do that since your presentation on tonal systems.” Lmaoooo I like this Jungkook, I like the little hesitations and that he's not too smooth if that makes sense? Like what we saw at the library and the fact that it took him a second try of walking up to her to actually kiss her, I find it cute.

“Long time no see, stranger.” Hmmmm interesting way to greet your ex who you broke up with and are very randomly visiting at their house 🤨

"The smirk on Jungkook’s face drops, and in its place a smile blooms across his lips, an earnest smile. “I know.” Awww that's cute. But now I find myself getting annoyed at myself for finding anything about him endearing lol.

"He doesn’t know how much it fucking hurts to be suckerpunched by someone you thought was the love of your life, to be disregarded and abandoned as if years together held the significance of mere days in the end. To be left without a single word as to why you weren’t good enough for him." Oh god poor OC 🥺🥺🥺

"For a split second you wonder if you should have let yourself feel that January cold instead of his warmth." 🥺🥺🥺

"You cross your arms in front of your chest, mouth hanging open to gape at him, flabbergasted. “And you listened to him? You’re supposed to be on my side!” Are you childish for wanting Taehyung to be on your side? He has always been closer to you; he was your friend first. “I can’t believe you’d do me dirty like that, Tae. I feel so betrayed right now. I got you in the divorce and Jungkook got Jimin. I can’t believe you’d go running off to daddy like that.” Lmaoooo those last two lines are hilarious.

“Kim Taehyung!” You kick him in the shin under the table, to which he yelps and gets a few heads turning in the semi-crowded restaurant. “You backstabbing bitch!” Honestly he deserves this lol, this is his second offence!!

"When he’s finished, you don’t respond. Instead, you turn to your friend. “Seriously, Tae,” you scoff, glaring at the man sitting across from you. This is the second time that Kim Taehyung has betrayed you in a span of two days; one more strike and you might just key his car. “I can’t believe you ran off to daddy again.” Exactlyyyyy his second offence!!!!

"He never understood the connection, the bond, between the two of you but he has always appreciated the fact that you have someone like Taehyung. Someone who understands you in ways that he couldn’t, who looks out for you and takes care of you no matter what, who made sure you wouldn’t fall when Jungkook was the one to shatter the ground beneath you." Well that's nice of him to appreciate, but it would have been even nicer if he hadn't done all that in the first place.

"He’s right, and you know you’re being childish. When are you going to get an offer of this magnitude? This is your dream; this is something you’ve been working toward all these years. Are you really about to let it pass you by because of Jungkook?" As much as I'd support OC's idea of keying Tae's car after a third strike lol, just like Jungkook I really appreciate him being there and making sure she doesn't miss this opportunity. I'm sure he'll also be there to support her through the hardships of having to work with her ex.

"Your brows knit together and you fist the hem of your shirt. You look a little distressed, and Jungkook remembers how you used to do this to will yourself before you committed to something you really don’t want to. It used to be research papers for psychology classes, but now it’s him." Ah the bittersweet feeling that comes with the little habits and facts you know about the other person even after years of not being together. It's one of the things I really like about exes to lovers, there's so many instances of that in this story already and I love ittt. Also mix that with, as OC pointed out, the things that have changed, and the pain that comes with noticing that too and it's a perfect cocktail of emotions.

"Nonetheless, it’s his duty as your friend to make sure you choose what’s best for you, and this—no matter how ludicrous it sounds to you—will do you more good than harm. Whatever may happen, he knows you’ll never forgive yourself if you miss this chance. And just like how Taehyung has helped you through your toughest days before, he can do it again. You’ve recovered from Jungkook once, you can do it a second time." He should be apprehensive, with the way he's seen what the breakup with Jungkook has made her go through! But as I said, at least he's there to help her through this now too 🥺

"You promptly ended the call afterward, not knowing whether to feel relieved that no, he didn’t get a new girlfriend, or dejected because he changed his number and didn’t tell you." Oooof that's really really rough.

“Oh, you’re with Kook?” Taehyung asked hesitantly, then went quiet for a moment after Jimin confirmed. “Yeah, sure, you should take him with you. She probably won’t remember it…” Honestly allowing this to happen might be his third strike…

“I saw Jungkook again. Twice.” Oh no what is she gonna say 😔😔😔

“He didn’t ask how I’ve been doing. He just showed up out of the blue because he needed something from me and didn’t even bother to ask if my life’s been okay or anything. I–It made me feel so insignificant.” Poor OC 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Now I'm glad Jungkook heard this, I hope he feels terrible 😤😤😤

"When he takes too long, you turn to him and whisper. “Bitch, your friend is so cute!” (Only you think you’re whispering.) Jungkook chuckles as he tightens his grip on you. He can’t help but think you’re adorable—you’ve always been a cute drunk in his eyes, though if you would probably smack yourself over the head if you were aware of the words coming out of your mouth. It’s nice to hear that you still find some part of him tolerable." Lmaoooo I find drunk OC super cute too but I also feel bad for sober her later 😬😬😬

"He has always refused to disclose anything about the breakup when anyone asked. No one knows what really happened back then; not his brother, not his closest friends, and certainly not you." Okaaaay well I really really wanna now. It must have been hard for him too though, having to pretend he's okay, probably feeling like he doesn't deserve to feel bad since he's the one who broke things off. And with the way they're in the same circle there must have been constant reminders of each other for both of them and it's really hard to move on like that. And now all of the moving on they've managed to do (if any 👀) will really be put to the test.

I love all the characters we've been introduced to and I'm excited to meet the others too!! All of them feel so real to me, there's something about them that gives them depth and I can already tell they have many sides to them that I'm looking forward to discovering. Like how Jungkook manages to be so nonchalant around OC now and if she'll manage to match that attitude towards him too, or if being near her again will manage to break that facade of his instead and he'll show some more emotions. So much to look forward to!!!

I like how we get to see thoughts from both OC and Jungkook and even Taehyung, it gives a wider perspective instead of just making us guess at the motives of all of them. Even though there's clearly a big one that's not revealed and I'm excited to anticipate that reveal. Also I just really vibe with your writing and lots of the lines actually made me laugh out loud, so this was a very enjoyable read and I can't wait to continue with this series.

The movies lied—college really isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Who even has the time to constantly go drinking and clubbing, deliver assignments on time, maintain a social life, all the while be expected to have a blooming love life? Definitely not you, and not when there’s a pain in your ass by the name of Jeon Jungkook.

The douchebag in your music theory class who’s always trying to one up you.

To be fair, he’s not a bad person (probably), but he’s just so goddamn annoying.

The Sweet Embrace of Death.

Pairing: Lucifer x MC - Platonic?(I don’t even know bruh :/)

Genre: Fluff

Commissioned or Self Made: Self Made

Word Count: 938

A/N: Hello everyone! I would like to address that you are able to make a request on my inbox! If you would like a commission, then feel free to DM me. This fiction was inspired by @ticklishfanart . Go check them out! They have really amazing drawings. Lucifer decides to be unusually kind to MC but really, he just wants to tickle them(99.95% he's into tickling). I hope you enjoy the writing!

Warning: Tickling and Mammon

“I’m just saying that a pretty girl is not at all different from an old creepy guy,” MC ranted, gesturing their arms in frustration. “If I see anyone approaching me that I don’t know–pretty or ugly, I’m avoiding them.” Lucifer only smiled, resting his palm on his hand to his head on the chair rest. Continuing to listen MC babbling of whatever thought came through their brain.

“Yes,” he hummed. “It is very important to keep aware of your surroundings.” “That’s what I’m saying!”

MC sighed and plopped down on the bed. Lucifer joined in as well, sitting right next to them.

“MC,” he spoke, “You’re very passionate about most things aren’t you?” MC perked their head up at the fallen angel. “Well, I guess you can say that. But I only say what I think is right.” He chuckled warmly, “ It makes you seem braver than how you view yourself, it saddens me that most people don’t talk about it.”

“Well..” MC trailed off, averting their eyes from Lucifer. “ Don’t you find it annoying that I talk a lot?” “Nonsense love.” Lucifer then wrapped his arms around MC, placing them on his lap.

“I find it very cute, just like the rest of you.”

“Cute?!” MC yelped. “Nonono! I’m not cute! I’m…I’m..!” “You’re what? Kind? Beautiful? Smart?” Lucifer leaned himself closer to MC, the lamb mewled and buried their face into his chest. “Stoop..” They whined. “This is embarrassing..”

“Ah. My apologies MC. I just find your reactions very adorable.” His clothed fingers then trailed up MC’s right side, causing them to flinch instantly.

“H-hey! What do you think you’re doing?” “Me? Oh nothing. Are you ok?” Lucifer asked, smirking devilishly as he squeezed MC waist. “Aaah! No you’re tickling me!” They squealed, trying to squirm away from the tickling avatar.

“I am? No you must be imagining now dear.” He then used both hands to tickle the poor sheep. Prodding, scribbling, and pinching every part of MC’s stomach and rib cage. “NahaHAHA! Lucihihi!” MC laughed, frantically wriggling their body to break free. But no matter how many pleas they could provide, Lucifer didn’t stop, as if he were deaf.

“Hm? Stop? But I’m not even doing anything.” he replied, nuzzling his chin against MC’s neck. “Yehehes you are! NO! DOHOHON’T DOHOHO THAHAHAHAT!”

MC was screaming at this point. Who would have ever known that Lucifer was this down bad much of a tease? His hands found their way into MC's bare stomach, kneading every piece of flesh they could obtain. “What a cute tummy you have.” He giggled, swirling his fingers gently into MC’s navel. God he’s so mean.

“AaaAAAH! YOHURHURHURE SO MEHEHEAN!” Lucifer only smiled to himself. He’s definitely enjoying this.

His lips got enacted with MC’s neck, planting soft kisses and nibbles against the collar bone of the human. MC screamed with laughter once more, trying to squirm away desperately. But only to fail as Lucifer’s hands lightly scratched their hips and thighs.

No wonder why humans would speak harshly about the devil.

“Merhehercy! MERCY!” The human gasped, pounding their fist onto the bed as a sign of defeat. And like that, the banterous tickle torture had come to an end.

“Ah yes, they always beg for mercy.” Lucifer laughed. “Shuhuhut up.”

Lucifer had released MC from his lap, MC then hugged their body close, still panting from Lucifer’s playful wrath. “Was that too much MC?” he asked, placing his hand on their shoulder. “Ah! No it’s fine Lucifer. I kind of like being tickled.” MC said blatantly. “Thanks for asking though.” Lucifer’s pride then intensified after that comment. “I see.” He said, his voice deepening. “I will take this information to my utmost advantage.” Typical Lucifer. You can’t even tell him something without him—

“AARGH!”

A loud scream and thud could be heard from Lucifer’s doorway. The two darted their eyes to the fallen culprit..Mammon?!

“Mammon!” MC squeaked, their face turning a shade of red from embarrassment. “What are you doing here?!” Mammon slowly rose from the floor, fidgeting nervously. “I..I was just checking to make sure you were safe! Because I heard you scream in this room.” He paused to look up at his older brother, Lucifer, who was now glaring at him, as if he were wanting to bash his head out. “Then–” “Then you what?” Lucifer interrupted. Causing Mammon’s blood to run cold.

“I saw you with Lucifer..”

The room was then hushed with silence. Then Lucifer sighed. “Mammon..” He spoke sternly. Getting up from bed. That was the yellow demon’s cue to escape. Fast. MC only eyed them as Lucifer chased down Mammon. This wasn’t the first time this occurred.

MC only giggled to themself as they played the mind of Lucifer calling those lovely names. How can a demon like him be so serious and yet be so kindhearted? “Typical Lucifer.” MC jokes.

Track 3: Roar

Yuma runs through the forest.

“Haah, haah, haah…!”

[00:13] ( Unable to sit still for another second, I bolted out of the house. The Doctor’s words echoing inside my head. When she returned from the examination room so soon, I immediately assumed that he had realized something was not normal about her heart so I went inside, leaving her to wait.  

[00:44] As I threatened him not to make any of this public, he responded to me with a sheer white complexion that her heart’s condition has gotten considerably worse. So much so, he was surprised at how she was still alive. He went on for a while, suggesting she gets a full check-up done at a large hospital. However, even so, it was most likely already… 

[01:19] I did not have to hear the rest of his story. Her heart had been severely weakened…and could no longer be cured. I had trouble accepting this sudden news, but I could also tell it was no lie. That is what my gut told me. It is what must have been causing this uneasy feeling inside of me this whole time. And the thing behind all of this, must surely beーー )

“Tskーー!! Haah, haah…Arghーー!! Ugh!! Ugh!!”

Yuma repeatedly punches a tree.

*THUD THUD THUD*

[02:13] “It’s my fault…All of it…I’m to blame…! Ughー!!”

*THUD*

“It shouldn’t be her…I’m the one who deserves to be broken…It’s me…”

[02:33] ( I came to a realization. ーー Exactly. Her heart had been ruined because I sucked her blood. I can tell as much. There’s no other reason behind it. I was positive. )

*Rustle*

“ーー Ugh!!”

*THUD*

[03:03] “Haah, haah, haah…Why…? How come…!? Why is this happenin’…!? Is this history repeatin’ itself…? Am I bein’ robbed of someone dear to me once again…? Ahー Exactly. Lucks’ case was no different. I don’t want to repeat the same mistake all over again…This time, I want to save them. Kuh…! Hahaha…’Save’...? Am I an idiot? Her body got messed up ‘cause I’m a Vampire…! All ‘cause I sucked her blood left and right…LIKE SOME GODDAMN BEAST!! I’m the one who ruined her…’Cause I’m…a Vampire…”

Yuma attempts to break his own fangs.

“Kuh…! Ugh…! Haah…Guess I can’t break them with my bare hands, huh?”

*Thud*

[04:33] “...Fuck. Why did I think I could break the fangs given to me by that man? Besides…I can’t deny that I’m the one…who willingly chose to become like this, just to live. I was so desperate…to survive…which eventually allowed me to meet her. ーー And now, she…”

He takes a couple of deep breaths.

“What should I do? I…I…Iーー!! Argh…AAAAAAH!!”

*TIMESKIP*

*Tweet tweet* 

Yuma walks outside. 

[05:55] “Ah-aah…What am I doin’, for real…? I’m just runnin’ ‘round all day…slammin’ my fists into random stuff. Simply repeatin’ the same process…Heh. A repeat, huh?”

[06:24] ( At this time, us four brothers would gather together to discuss the situation every day. The topic at hand was whether we should inform her about her heart’s condition or not. Ruki argued we should tell her sooner rather than later, while I believed we should keep it a secret until the very end. Since valid arguments could be made for both standpoints, Kou and Azusa had trouble picking a side. It didn’t seem like we would come to a conclusion any time soon. )

[07:04] “Che…Talkin’ to them is pointless. There’s no way those three could understand how I feel. Haah…They don’t know ‘bout her smile. That smile she shows when she looks at me, which is warm like the sun during Spring.”

*TIMESKIP*

You step out into the hallway and run up to Yuma.

[08:00] “...Ah? Oiーー! Goddamnit, Sow! Don’t run!”

He quickly stops you in your tracks. 

*Rustle*

“...Haah, haah…What are ya doin’? You’re still not fully recovered, are ya? You’re not in pain, right? Does it hurt anywhere? Huh?”

You suddenly embrace him. 

*Rustle* 

“...Oh. What’s wrong? …Say something.”

You explain. 

[08:33] “...! What? I’m no different from usual.”

You shake your head.

“Haah? My clothes…? …Ah, you’re right. I look like a mess. The fabric’s all ripped up…”

You ask if he is struggling with something. 

[08:55] “ーー Not really. It’s no big deal. I just gotta let off some steam every now or then, that’s all. …Ya get what I mean, right?”

You point out his hands again.

*Rustle* 

“...Everyone’s hands get a lil’ dry during this time of year. Mine are just slightly more beaten up ‘cause I went on a bit of a rampage.”

*Rustle rustle* 

[09:29] “...Idiot. You’ll hurt yer cheek by rubbin’ it ‘gainst my hands…They’re dry and cracked after all.” 

You offer to help look for a solution for his hands. 

“...Haha. You’re darn stubborn, huh? …A way to treat them, huh? Oh well, be my guest, I guess. I won’t deny that I’ll have an easier time workin’ on the field without these cuts and scratches.”

You nod and smile.

[10:07] “...You really smile from the bottom of your heart, huh? …I don’t dislike that expression.”

You smile even brighter. 

“Heh…Rather than worryin’ ‘bout me, you should ーー …Nah, nevermind. I’m sure you’d still worry about me, no matter what I say.”

You agree.

[10:40] “Hehe… (mumbles) I promise I won’t let that smile fade. ーー Never.”

You ask if he said something. 

“Ah? No, nothing. …Anyway, let’s get inside. I gotta take a shower and throw on some fresh clothes.”

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

[strangestcase]

Please tell us more about the Jekyll & Hyde adaptation you just created, we want details!!

AAAAAAH—

Utterson is a girl, her name is Gabrielle, and she’s rainbow themed. Which is ironic because personality-wise she’s serious and disciplined and rarely smiles. She’s a lawyer but dreams of being a detective. All her life she’s been called ugly because she’s not conventionally attractive (flat ass and boobs, angular face, very big freckles, hooked nose), but Jekyll -her childhood friend- has a HUGE crush on her (the same way she has a huge crush on him!!) and it takes turning into Hyde for him to realize. So of course whenever Hyde and Utterson interact he’s very flirty and suave and she is super confused and a little scared- but intrigued! She’s also probably the person with the most common sense in the story but she’s also Not So Above It All and has a chiller side she only shows around her close friends.

Lanyon is cloud-themed! He brings rain and covers the sun (and the moon!). Oh, and he loves plants! As Jekyll’s main scientific rival -homoerotic tension included in the rivalry-, he at first keeps him both competitive and grounded… but as the story progresses they fall out more and more often. Lanyon is BITCHY and a little cranky but deep down he has a heart of gold. He has good intentions and genuinely wants to help people through science, but his more elite attitude sometimes drives Jekyll up the wall… Utterson of course doesn’t comment on this because she refuses to partake in their silly dramas. When he sees Hyde turn into Jekyll he goes PANIC MODE and spends days in his house barricaded behind his beloved potted plants. He might be a good guy but that doesn’t make him immune to prejudice or general dumbassery, so he believes Hyde to be a horrible monster… DONT WORRY he gets better tho.

SO YEAH! That’s the thing. I still have to write stuff for this but I have a few scenes in my head: Hyde meeting Utterson at the door and being absolutely LOVESTRUCK, Utterson trying to speak sense into a panicked Lanyon hiding behind an ornamental plant, Jekyll just being generally dorky and awkward in this loveable way, and… well… FRIEND GROUP TO POLYCULE SPEEDRUN lol. It has a few things in common with my “main”, book accurate au (walk walk fashion baby Lanyon, Hyde as a side of Jekyll, every character being trans), but is it’s own story. I think the biggest difference is the ages- this adaptation is focused on a younger cast; mostly because the new context and focus of the story don’t necessarily call for a cast of middle aged gay men like in the original. BTW they’re all bi and yes by the end of the thing the three of them are dating. Also Enfield is there and she’s a girl too and she’s stars themed.

『you’re dating him but he’s not your bias』

reaction fic; NCT Dream

A/N: this is nct dream’s reaction to realizing your bias is not him (and you’re a couple). gender neutral, got way too deep at some points and was NOT meant to be this long. enjoy.

note that english is my second language and i speak mixing slang, accents and spellings from 3283928 places so i did notice there’s practice written with both s and c down there so

just dont mind it pls

also, today’s photo theme is dream looking cute in low quality shots.

𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓻𝓮𝓼: fluff (♡), angst (❆), comedy (☼), crack (⍢).

𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼: lots of swearing, my tough love for the neos, one mention of cheating that doesn’t actually happen, a couple of mentions of alcohol and drinking, some violence hidden in metaphors, me being chaotic, it got a bit more angsty and darker than i intended, but we do have all happy endings.

Mark

oh, poor baby

i feel like he would be a little heartbroken 

just a little

not so much if it’s someone from dream, because they’re his little brothers, but if it’s one of his hyungs from 127 or wayv,,,,,

boy might cry

he’s not super dramatic about it or anything but i don’t see him as being super confident about himself

so he might think like

“do they think he’s cooler than me?”

and it’s silly, yes, he knows

but it’s just something that pops up in his mind sometimes when you bring him up

so for the sake of this fanfic let’s pretend you’re johnny biased

because gods know i am

at least when it comes to 127

mark would be divided into fanboying with you and being like “YO, HE’S THE COOLEST GUY ON EARTH OH MY GOD I’M SO GLAD YOU AGREE”

and

“a h”

<gives you a little tiny smile to cover up the sound of his heart breaking>

would constantly try to get closer to you when johnny is around, and just

showing off in little (kinda dumb) ways

complimenting you

being even more whipped than usual

like yes he’ll give you all of his watermelon slices just please don’t look at johnny like that again

i think johnny would kind of play into it with the whole “imma steal your s/o” thing

and he doesn’t do it to make mark jealous or hurt

we know he’d rather get hit by a train than ever actually upsetting his son on purpose

but we also know he’s johnny

cue “OH DUDE HE’S FLIRTING”

so yeah he might call you lil pet names (beautiful, cutie, you get it)

just to see you giggle 

(and see your soul leave your body)

might say he’s taking you out for dinner when he’s just driving you to get more ice cream for a movie night with the gang lol

and winks

expect a lot of winks

anywhere and anytime

which makes mark sometimes feel like he’s intruding???

and that you appreciate johnny more than him???

he genuinely doesn’t understand how you can date him and still not have him as your bias

don’t you like, love him above everyone else or smth lol

his “showing off” phase eventually fades tho

now every time you hang you with the boys and johnny is around, he’ll be a bit more distant 

he thinks he’s giving you space to interact with his friends but he’s just shying away from competing with one of his favourite people ever

and it’s a competition that Does Not Exist™

but he’s not 100% aware of that

and you’re not that dense 

so ofc you notice

and you wait till you two are alone to talk to him, and he BEGRUDGINGLY admits that you being johnny biased makes him feel kinda small and unimportant

he’d never try to make you change your bias or anything

he just needs reminders that he’s your #1 boy sometimes

which is fine by you

and by him

cus now it’s you calling him pet names all the time

and hugging him

and kissing his cheek

and praising his work

and blowing kisses from across the room

and just telling him straight up that no matter what, you’ll always go to him

(not that you ever had any chance with johnny lmao)

THIS GOES TO SHOW COMMUNICATING IS KEY, CHILDREN

COMMUNICATE

Renjun

wym donghyuck is your bias lol

literally are you fucking kidding him

don’t get me wrong ok

everyone knows renjun loves haechan

they’re bffs and could not live without each other

but at the same time,,,

what is wrong with you

who did he choose as his s/o gods help him

if it was jeno, or mark, or jaehyun, or winwin, or kun, or lucas, or yuta, or taeyong, or ten, or,,,,

literally ANY of his other members

he’d understand your point and be like “ok fine”

but haechan???? hmmm bestie no

he’s not gonna throw a fit

not after the first time you told him anyways

HE WAS SURPRISED OKAY

and he just whined very loudly after having laughed for 5 minutes thinking it was a joke

<flashbacks of that one time he had to sing the ottoke song with haechan on weekly idol>

if you don’t know that iconic scene, renjun had a whole ass meltdown in 3 seconds while yelling “aAAAAAH JINJJAAAAA” and getting ready to punch the living shit out of hyuck

for no reason other than the fact that it’s haechan we’re talking about and injun’s little body is filled with rage

BACK ON TRACK

would probably try to act all cool about it and be like “i don’t mind” but bruh does he mind

and it doesn’t help that haechan is such a little shit about it

he doesn’t even flirt with you

he just

constantly reminds renjun that he’s your bias—not him—and then constantly praises himself over you

“ah, y/n~ did you choose me as your bias because i’m the best vocalist? or was it because i’m the best dancer? mAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY OH SO BROAD SHOULDERS—”

(pause for injun to punch him)

(unpaused)

and ok in the beginning it was funny seeing him all worked up but now it’s just annoying to be in the same room as these two

haechan won’t let either of you live

and renjun just wants to

fight

so it eventually gets to the point where you’ll talk to renjun and jeno will talk to hyuck cus even the other dreamies are tired of it

except maybe for chenle, he always laughs his ass off when they start bickering

ANYWAY

your conversation goes something like “oh my god renjun i’m literally dating you, i don’t like haechan better or anything you little pile of fury”

while jeno sits hyuck down in front of him and jaemin and just

“bro why are you like this”

“bro”

no but renjun would apologize for going overboard with his protectiveness and jealous energy because he’s not generally like that

he’s angry all the time but never about something involving you, you know

he tries his best to treat you like the royalty you are

but something about hyuck being your bias makes him feel a bit like a castaway???

he’s very creative and as an artsy kid myself i know we’re very prone to feeling left out because we’re just different from the others

so he’d think maybe haechan really has a better voice

or better dancing skills

or he looks better

he is taller than injun after all, and has broader shoulders, and his hair is all fluffy and—

the whole thing just made him insecure about things he had settled with himself long ago

he was fine with being him

but not so much when it came to that

i don’t think you two would fight over it cus tbh i think renjun would really only get with someone who can be very understanding of him

and i think hyuck would actually apologize to renjun too

not when everyone’s around but like, maybe after dinner or something and he just needs to feel like they’re besties again

hyuck never meant for things to get out of control

he just really likes both injun and you as his friends, and aside from skinship his most prominent love language is,,,

teasing

he was really just trying (very poorly) to grow closer to the person his best friend loves so much—you—because renjun is SUCH a big part of his life it would just feel wrong to not be good friends with you as well

don’t tell them i said this but they hug it out

injun strikes me as someone that could take a bit of time to bounce back from something that hurt his pride or his sense of belonging

and his way of healing and bonding is just,,,

art

sure, keep being haechan biased, but also please read with him

and talk about his fantastic animal creations

and watch those buzzfeed unsolved alien theory videos because he really wants to discuss it and maybe even draw what he thinks the aliens look like

hyuck tones it down, you make sure renjun knows you like him for him, renjun starts to (secretly) appreciate hyuck’s talent along with you...

and now let’s take a moment to imagine the minute you watch their latest mv with injun by your side

and yes okay the first thing you see is CLEARLY how good renjun looks because holy fucking shit he’s an angel (and i’m clearly not renjun biased)

but then,,,,,,

wAS THAT A HAECHAN HIGH NOTE

(there’s always a haechan high note, just look for it)

and ok maybe he did scream a bit with you because of how good it all sounded

and you know what, it works out perfectly bc you two are my new otp and you were meant for each other

but we do have to mention the eventual happening of chenle saying like “oOoOoOoH y/N wErE yOu dRoOliNg oVeR hAeChAn AgAiN” after a special stage

and then you, injun and hyuck all attempt to choke him

i’m kidding

or not

Jeno

ah, lee jeno

aka samoyed boi

yes i do call him that no i will not stop

everyone is always writing jeno as being super protective and literally about to burst a lung if someone else ever does as much as look at you

but i just 

don’t see him that way

he’s a taurus and from what i know about taurus they can be v v jealous, yes, but they mainly seek comfort

so he’s fine with you biasing jaemin

as long as you’re not ditching him or anything lol

and ok, imma be 100% honest here even if it sounds like literal no fun (jenojaem wink wonk)

jaemin doesn’t flirt with you

not any more than he flirts with

every other breathing creature

ever

he’s really only platonically interested in you, never remotely romantic or anything lol

on the other side, he is in love with jeno

basically, if jaemin is your bias, jeno is his

so nothing really changes

we know how nomin are, okay

they hold hands, they stare deeply into each other eyes, they nearly kiss at least once every time they go live

it's just them

you gotta respect it bruh

i know this is the most boring reaction ever so let’s create the one (1) instance where jeno would actually dislike that you bias someone else

i think he would feel a bit hurt if you seemed to be more supportive of jaemin’s work than his

and it’s not something big or on purpose

it’s just something like going with him to a recording session but not going with jeno because you have homework

or after a very busy practise day going to praise jaemin first

even if it’s just three words

“you did good”

and then you’re going towards him, he’s gonna feel like maybe he doesn’t deserve your praise as much as nana????

i actually feel like, among the dreamies, jeno is the least confident one when it comes to his performance

he knows he’s not an awful rapper or anything but i think it can be a bit too much, being around such bright and huge presences like the others while his nickname literally means “no fun”

his members are just so loud and full of energy most of the time

and sometimes he just really needs to be quiet and observe in silence 

(yes i do know he’s chaotic and a crackhead, i’m just saying as we know he can be a bit introspective)

so what if you just

stopped seeing him?

did he become invisible to you?

did you finally fall for jaemin’s beautiful smile and stupid pick-up lines?

he’s not gonna let it show that he’s affected, though

earth signs are nearly always the ones to “stay strong” because we have this image that people are relying on us???

so we do what we do

bottle everything up and overwork ourselves bc we only got two modes

1. chill, super balanced and down to earth (ay for the pun)

2. please make us take a break we’re literally about to cry if we work for one more minute but we can’t allow ourselves to fucking take it easy

so yes you’ve guessed correctly, we’re going with 2

jeno is going to go so, SO hard on everything he does 

literally every single activity you can think of from dance practice to photoshoots to cooking for the dreamies

he stays up later than usual to get that one tricky move in the choreo just right

he works out more because he thinks he has to look absolutely perfect for when they shoot the mv

jisung asked for ramen? he’s making it but you bet your ass he’s spending over 40 minutes just chopping so

many

vegetables

AND STUFF THAT JISUNG WON’T EVEN EAT

but he’s doing it anyway for the reason being that it just has to be the Best™

and it’s not like he’s competing with anyone else to be diligent

this is just about being better than he was and showing himself—and maybe you—how painstakingly hardworking and driven he can be

maybe then you’re gonna acknowledge him as much as you acknowledge nana :((

:(((((

writing this is making me downright sad, jeno is so underrated and unaware of his power UGH

and i need to point out this is NOT about making you change your bias from jaemin to him, this is solely about having you recognize his efforts, even if you already do

if you just thought jeno was like going off in work because it was asked of him to, jaemin would DEF notice and talk to you about it

turns out it’s a habit of jeno to go extra hard sometimes and he needs someone to make him take a break

so it goes down like you breaking into the practice room when jeno and jisung were practising

the first reaction is confusion

the second is oh hey babe how are you

third is

a-are you dragging jeno and his bag out of the door while screeching at jisung to order pizza and doughnuts for everyone??

yes you are and i’m proud of you

so jeno is still confused and making those cute “hUh” noises he does omg i love him so much

and you’re just rambling about how much of an amazing artist he is, and you love his voice, and he’s a fantastic dancer, and his expressions and gestures are on point, and he takes such good care of the dreamies and

he’s perfect

and he knows jaemin must have talked to you, and he feels so vulnerable to have you know how on edge he’s been

baby boy just needs some rest

and that’s exactly what you give him, with a bath full of those fancy bath bombs and flower petals and candles at your house/apt

then a quick sheet mask while you massage his shoulders and keep saying how much you genuinely admire him

the mask might be ruined cus he started crying out of exhaustion

after that’s been done and you’ve hugged for at least like 5 min nonstop, you head over to the dorms, where hyuck was in charge of setting up a blanket fort while mork and nana gather board games, jisung gets the food and chenle

well chenle just had to make sure jisung doesn’t forget to order for someone and doesn’t break like 10 plates trying to set the table lol

this is way longer than the others so imma wrap it up

make it obvious and loud that you see and respect jeno’s hard work and he’ll be alright again

and maybe make those game nights a weekly thing when possible, it would make him very happy

he’ll never again feel sad when you praise jaemin cus now he’s sure he does enough, and above all, he is enough

Haechan

haechan = full sun

why would you ever bias someone when you’re dating the goddamned sun

does not understand

but also does not care that much

actually, one out of two really depending on who your bias is

if it’s one of the members he has that tom/jerry relationship with, prepare for so

much

complaining

and clinging

AND HE’D BE SO LOUD OH MY FUCKING GOD

donghyuck please stop screaming about doyoung not deserving to be your baby’s bias, it’s 2 am

on the other hand, if it’s one of the (few) members he,,,

adores with all of his heart and is not afraid to show it

ex: sungchan, jaehyun, taeil and yang2x

then you can bet he’s going to be right beside you whenever you feel like throwing a fit because he’s just so handsome and talented

IF IT’S MARK OSHDISJD

i’m going to write you as being mark biased ok? ok

i honestly don’t know if he’d feel more jealous of mark or of you

he loves you both

a lot,,,,

and he really doesn’t like it when mark blushes when you compliment him

and he doesn’t like it when mark literally just walks past you and you trip over your feet because bro tf u doing, that’s some embarrassing shit

lowkey done with you two

but also PAY HIM SOME ATTENTION

or don’t, he’s fine either way (cue crossed arms and staring at you from across the room until you come give him a kiss)

“he’s pretty cute but i’m cuter right baby”

pouty pouty pouty if he ever feels neglected

will be so fucking annoying lmao i can’t write haechan, i love him but i do understand why renjun is always trying to beat him up

he’d be a show-off in a different way than mark because he can be so petty

will take every chance he gets to pull a one-liner

will sing everything he has to say just so you know he can hit those high notes

what do you mean dream doesn’t have a schedule today

oh man, he could swear they did

because that is the sole reason why he’s wearing his most expensive clothes and shoes + makeup to walk around the dorms, yes

no he doesn’t want to impress you

shut up

will text you like every single fancam he sees on twitter

every

single 

one

and are they mark’s?

lol no, they’re his

he is so genuinely trying to make you a member of his sunflower cult 

<whispers> “tell me i’m your bias” 

“donghyuck what the actual hell why are you standing at the end of my bed in the middle of the night like a fucking demon child”

he really wants to act all cool and composed but he wants to be your bias so fucking bad

he’s a bad bitch all around and just does whatever

cus haechan privilege

and he tends to not care about what people say and think???

bc he knows he’s lee donghyuck

he’s fully aware of the effect he has on people

but you

not biasing him

naw, he can’t take it

will do anything and everything he can to make you say, JUST ONE TIME, he’s your bias

then you can go back to loving (his) mark

so for your sake, for his sake, for mark’s sake

just give donghyuck what he wants

i can promise he’ll keep being an ass no matter what you do

like yeah did you just buy him coffee and his favourite cake? well that’s sweet but iS HE YOUR BIAS YET

“aw babe thanks so much for taking a bullet for me but now please say i’m your bias”

if you still don’t do it, it’s time to be extra petty

will actually drop you for mark

his logic is something like: he can’t be your bias? pity, so he’s just gonna date him instead

and mark is mark so he has no idea what’s going on

everyone in 127 and dream finds this absolutely hilarious cus suddenly donghyuck seems to be doing his best to win over mark’s heart and i mean more than usual???? and he’s treating you like his bro????

<you leaving the dorms to go to uni or smth so you go to hyuck for a goodbye kiss> “no can do, i’m committed”

“i’m your partner”

“no that’s mark”

it’s not 100% a joke when i say i can see him getting down in one knee to propose to mark while making eye contact with you to

assert his dominance

and mark is just

“dude

what HAHAHA”

and you are so done, i’m so sorry you have to go through that bby

i don’t think there’s another way to fix haechan other than just admitting he was your bias for an era, or a comeback or something

like yeah with the other dreamies before him it’s bonding + healing time bc i wrote it all kinda angsty (lol sorry) but with donghyuck

no

“will you stop this if i say you were my bias during reload era”

“mark wasn’t in dream that era tho”

“yes i know”

i say he’s gonna take what he can get and now things can finally go back to normal

with the exception that something else comes along with hyuck being satisfied with you biasing him

he just has a full pass to fanboy over mark now too

what am i talking about?

new 127 mv is out

you: watching it beside haechan and going off about how pretty mark looks

him: going off even harder bc he’s whipped too

this is what a happy couple looks like 

but now i pity mark because he has you two idiots fanboying over him irl

savemork2021

Jaemin

nana is just such a chill and fun guy

i can’t see him being actually jealous or anything if he finds out you bias someone else

and so the two of you become insufferable together

bitch, i’m telling you

he (ur bias) is not gonna have one peaceful day ever again in his entire life

cus you know the thing jaemin does where he just looks at someone doing some random shit and goes “oOoOoH sExY”

yes that thing

he’s doing it to your bias 

and you’re doing it too

and your bias probably wants to run away to some very far away land

PLEASE IF IT’S JISUNG

i’m not gonna write this whole thing as if you bias him but let’s just imagine

two fully grown people

pilling on top of poor, poor park jisung playing games on his phone

“URI JISUNGIEEEEEE

MWOYA, MWOYAAAA~"

i genuinely think he would avoid being around you two at the same time

cus individually he can handle it

like yes y/n please let me go this hug has lasted for about 4 minutes now

or oh hi jaemin hyung my cheeks hurt when you pinch them that hard

but when you two are together

bruh

a power couple not bc you two are v confident or some shit but bc you can and will be extremely affectionate towards anyone that comes too close

and now let’s talk about how it would be if you biased jaehyun

jaemin loves jaehyun

they’re 2jae

2jae are soulmates

therefore,,,, it’s also kinda hellish but in a different way???

bc 2jae are on the end of that spectrum about the neos that know how in love the entire world is with them

they’re too powerful

they’re aware of their charm and they do everything they can to rub it in our faces

so the flirting between 2jae and you would be insane

and i mean insane

insane as in even johnny is kinda disgusted tbh bc

they’re doing a photo shoot with the 23 of them for some shit, idk don’t ask me

and of course, you had to tag along

but oh my god you three, please stop calling each other sexy/hot in weird voices now, the staff is staring

there are def rumours the 3 of you are a poly couple lmao

jaehyun denies everything on social media (throwback to saying “no way lol” when we asked if he REALLY slept in the same bed as jungwoo)

but every piece of content there is of you and jaemin or you and jaehyun or just them is so ridiculously flirty

you can bet there are compilations on youtube like 

“y/n being in love with 2jae for 8 minutes heterosexual”

ok i was having way too much fun with that, moving on

i don’t think he’d ever be actually upset about you biasing someone else

he trusts you and treasures you a lot so he doesn’t see the problem in you also appreciating another one of his members

bc gods know he does

he’s a bit in love with everyone so why shouldn’t you be too lol

one time he would feel a bit blue because of it???

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i think it’s possible he’d turn pouty or whiny or just kinda needy (not in a bad way, he just misses you) when he’s like

done with people

and needs some time away from everything

we know he’s an introvert, even if he acts very, very loud around the boys and it’s honestly just a matter of time until an introvert grows tired of being around humans

it depends on each person, of course, but there’s a 99% chance every once in a while he’ll start to feel too drained

and he’ll need a break to get his energy back

jaemin would probably want you around even when he feels like that, though

i see you being such a big source of comfort for him in a relationship

he enjoys taking care of people so please take care of him too

and for just this one day don’t talk about your bias that much, or don’t leave nana to go over to him to chat

and just cuddle him a lot

that will make him a smiley baby again

and then things are back to how they normally are

and by that i mean most neos hiding from you because they’re scared 

i don’t have a lot to say aside from that so let’s think about the neos that would be the most intimidated by your shared thot aura

dotae would be confused in different ways lol

taeyong would be just ????????????blush/awkward smile/hahaha??????

and doyoung might actually ask what is wrong with you

<points to jeno and his s/o> “why can’t you be like them”

mark would laugh-scream and slap his knee into oblivion whenever you two are cornering him

but then go super shy and be like “dUDE DON’T DO THAT”

resident confident gay jungwoo would rejoice in the attention and make so many goddamned jokes

a literal comedian i love him

i think sicheng and renjun would be on the same wavelength of repugnance towards you lol

chenle would deadass call you weird and tell you to leave him alone

shotaro and kun might faint (or kun will panic-scold you)

taeil is as confused by affection as usual (have you seen the face he makes when haechan kisses him LMFAO he’s smiling but like wondering wtf happened on the inside)

ten is not very amused but might play into it

yangyang: that’s disgusting, man (cue flashbacks to that live with renjun after the from home stage where renjun pretended to lick his hand and slick his hair back,,, catboy injun,,, you know the one)

xiaojun and hendery are such panicked gays they just turn to stare at whoever else is around and make that “help” expression like they’re on the office

haechan is haechan, kinda doesn’t mind it

jeno is used to dealing with this at this point

lucas and yuta love the attention but while yuta will flirt right back lucas is just gonna smile and try to jop his way out of there while screaming

sungchan will go hide behind haechan and say “hyung they’re being dumbasses again”

this turned into ‘how would nct react to you and jaemin being super flirty together’ and i’m not sorry

Chenle

chenle is so fun to write i love him lmao

okay so

he doesn’t strike me as the possessive type with anyone other than jisung (bc i swear he can be a bit jelly towards his bestie but i think it comes with sungie being the sweetest bean ever, he’s just protective)

he’s such a ray of sunshine and witty jokes and dolphin laughter i love him

back to the plot

he literally couldn’t care less about you biasing someone else

b u t

i will say there’s an exception

this exception is tall, kinda lanky, very awkward and born on the 5th of february

you’ve guessed it, it’s jisung

i think most of the time he’d tease THE SHIT out of you for it because c’mon

you had 22 chances not to mess up

and you still somehow ended up biasing jisung? lol do better next time

and this is not me and chenle hating on jisung, please—

he’d just find it funny that your bias is his best friend and

hold the fuck up

your bias is his best friend

oH NO NO NO NO NO

i think after realizing that he would lowkey try to keep you two apart because he’s somehow jealous of both????

and if he can’t help it then you can bet your ass he will be screaming all along

it’s his sweet, dummy jisung

with his sweeter and dummier y/n

what is he going to do

probably has a mini-breakdown with kun because like he’s always wanted you two to get along bUT NOT LIKE THAT

kun will just sigh like the tired father he is and pet his back while saying “there, there”

and a genius idea is going to come to chenle’s mind

you know the teasing thing?

well it’s upgrade time

he’s gonna turn into such a try-hard with tmi and embarrassing shit you two have done

and he’s not trying to stop you from being friends

he just wants you to like

know who you’re befriending

bc i think since he’s really really close to jisung, he doesn’t want you getting closer to him bc you like his idol side alone

and he doesn’t want jisung getting close to you just because you’re his partner either

if you had high hopes for each other and ended up kinda falling face-first into the ground bc it was nothing like you had imagined—

he’d be so broken

because he loves you so much :((((

so like, if you can get past the teasing and annoying barrier he’s putting up, he’ll be more than happy to have two of the most important people in his life being buddies

so get ready for it

if you’re the type of person to go batshit crazy when you drink, oh boy, oh boy

so you and the dreamies are just having dinner when lele feels like it’s the perfect time to disclose some of your drunken adventures

“hey y/n”

“yeah babe?”

“remember that time you got really really drunk on vodka and candy and wanted to call your mom”

“chenle the hell don’t talk ab—”

“but then you tried using the microwave as a phone”

“...”

“...”

“or that other time you were equally as drunk and watched the make a wish mv and cried because you noticed the height difference between xiaojun hyung and lucas hyung”

yeah so now’s the part you get up to chase him around the dorms and try to land a kick

BUT WORRY NOT, HE’LL MAKE SURE TO EMBARRASS JISUNG JUST AS MUCH

he likes doing that when it’s just the three of you though

so picture this

movie night the girls boys

chenle would 100% pick the most terrifying horror movie he can find so that he could see jisung clinging to whoever’s closest to him

and then right before a jumpscare, he’d whisper like

“jisung”

“w-what”

“why don’t you do that thing you were doing while you slept last night”

(honestly, i’d be mildly scared if i heard lele say this with no context at all)

and then the jumpscare happens and jisung is nearly fainting and crying at the same time

but chenle is laughing

and trying to get out what he wants to tell you between wheezes

“he-he” <dolphin wheeze> “hE WAS SINGING CHEER UP BY TWICE WHILE SLEEPING” <more wheezes>

and look this is just gonna go on for weeks until you and jisung are over it

and stop being weird and awkward around each other

lele needs you two to be bros ok

so be bros

once you do adapt to being pals with your bias i think chenle would take the teasing down a notch just to make you more comfortable

and like he’s so happy now the three of you can hang out and there’s just no tension

happy chenle is the thing i love the most i swear to gods

and if you don’t adapt to it?

well,,,

i honestly think he’d be pretty disappointed, cus it means to him one of you isn’t ready to fully embrace the weirdness within????

and like what u scared of

jisung is a weirdo, what about it, so are you

either that or he’d think you’re maybe being judgemental

so yeah please accept jisungie and your dumbass boyfriend

then everyone can be besties

i love thinking about the three of you as just this hellbound chaotic trio

because chenji already wreak havoc wherever they go as the two of them

but now that you’re coming along,,,,

no neo would escape from your pranks ever again (and even members of other groups lmfao watch out sehun, i’m talking to you)

and it’s so incredible infuriating in a good way that it just turns to be endearing

you’re cute as fuck so no one gets actually mad with the shit you pull????

which is dangerous, someone should really keep an eye out on the three of you 

we don’t need sm to be on fire

well we kinda do cus they’re pretty bad but not my point

i said somewhere above that chenle would tone the teasing down but i don’t mean he’d stop

bc c’mon guys

he’s chenle

no limits here

but sorry, i really cannot write jealous!chenle cus his heart is just too pure and filled with joy for him to be jealous for real

last scenario?

chenle after a comeback stage: ya y/n, i was gonna ask how was my performance today but you were probably more focused on jisung’s arms right

jisung is choking on water somewhere behind you

Jisung

it’s maknae time <plays i.n’s maknae on top>

i don’t mean to picture jisung as being like

ridiculously innocent or just downright naive because i really dislike it when people do that

he’s a literal 19 yo and jaemin himself has said he’s not as innocent as we think lol

however

i do see him as being quite new to all things love 

i think you’d probably be his first partner and with first relationships comes a lot of other firsts

first kiss maybe, first time holding hands, first time being jealous….

first time being jealous, yes, focus on that

i don’t think jisung would be aware that like

you not biasing him is even a possibility

cuz you’re dating

doesn’t that come along????

ah poor baby i love him

if you biased chenle i think he’d be just

disgusted and weirded out but okay?? you do you i guess???

he’s comfortable enough with lele to not feel intimidated

but if it’s another member

ESPECIALLY one of the oldest ones

i think it would be a blow straight to his confidence 

you biasing ten, kun, taeil, taeyong, doyoung or johnny and maybe yuta would make him feel a bit hesitant and concerned

his first thought would probably be that you don’t like being with someone as young as him

and who knows, maybe you’re even younger than him, maybe you’re the same age, but what if you actually like older guys??

what about him then???

and jisung doesn’t mean to feel so worried and insecure, ok, pls understand where i’m coming from

first relationships normally take like a very long time to build trust and acceptance of the other person’s feelings bc it’s literally a whole new world for you

and that goes extra hard for jisung because he is so fucking whipped for you it’s still hard to believe you like him as much

and it absolutely does not cross his mind that you’d cheat on him with your bias, GODS NO

he really respects you and his hyungs 

so no, never

that’s not a thing that can happen

but you realize you’re too good for him and maybe see he doesn’t fit your ideal type?

well, yes, that’s what he’s thinking

probably goes straight to chenle or renjun (he talks about renjun so much asjahj) to vent and ask for advice

i think they’d be surprised to see what’s going on inside his pretty little head because it’s so obvious for everyone that you just adore jisung

and they do tell him that

however, i don’t think it would completely calm his nerves, and again, this has nothing to do with not trusting you

it’s just that

his hyungs are so cool…

HE CAN’T HELP IT OK

would probably try to mirror your bias (i’m saying it’s taeyong for the sake of what i’ve imagined ok) and like

grasp onto some of his qualities?

so in his mind taeyong is: nice, sweet, caring, amazing, perfect, smart, perfect, sexy, mature and did i mention perfect

i can see him trying some new rap styles that mimic tyong’s a bit???

like would lowkey learn his raps from cherry bomb and superm’s one and listen to recordings frequently to pick up on how taeyong does it

i think he’d also just change the way he acts in general to dodge a bit from his maknae image

so now he tries to speak with a more formal-ish language and learns random facts about things you like to seem more intelligent???

“good morning y/n, you look as beautiful as one of voiello’s paintings today :]”

“wait i thought that was a pasta brand”

he’s just trying to show you he can be mature and serious if you want him to

long story short, he’s not acting like himself (not that he’s childish, he’s just out of it) and you don’t like it, so you ask about it and wait for him to feel comfortable with sharing

when he does talk about it breaks your heart so much :((

you’re going to need some patience to try and show him you’d choose him, and not your bias, even if you had the chance

they’re completely different people and you love him BECAUSE he’s jisung, not for any other reason

please reassure him so he can go back to acting like his authentic self, i think it would be such a relief for him too

your words and affection are obviously enough for him, but if it ever happens that he feels especially low and insecure again, it would help if your bias talks to him too

and taeyong wouldn’t have a problem with it

actually, scratch that, taeyong probably knew what was going on all along

he just has that motherly 7th sense (ay) that is even more acute with the dreamies cus like 

127 has him, wayv has kun, but dream has…

the dreamies

and that, my friend, is terrifying

anyway he’d come to talk to jisung asking like “what’s wrong buddy :(“ and sungie would be a bit ashamed because it sounds so silly when you say it out loud

of course tyong wouldn’t judge him, and he just really has to tell jisung what is it you and he are always talking about

it’s him

“when they come around to talk and hang out here it all goes back to you, jisungie. they can’t spend one second without mentioning your name

it’s so cute; it’s always like ‘oh jisung would love this’ or ‘jisung likes it that way’

so please be kinder to yourself and let yourself see that they’re in love with you, not with me and not with any other member they ever mention”

jisung would feel 10000000% better

and smiley

and giggly

and oh my god do you really talk about him that much

LOOK HE’S BLUSHING

would just go over to your house immediately and hug you, burying his face on your neck from behind you

and not let go

ever again

the whole situation just teaches him a lot about accepting your love for him and not questioning it 

shut up i’m not crying

final notes: this was my first work after the humanity series and it was so fun lol i think next up is probs gonna be an ideal type scenario for ot23 (but if i really write it i’m gonna post it by subunit and its gonna be way shorter than this, don’t expect 23K words at once lmao)

Kaleidoscope of Death, Ch. 109

Kaleidoscope of Death by Xi Zixu Link to Chinese / Novel Updates

Chapter 109: Opening Restrictions

When the two left the bathroom, they headed straight back to the living room and found Xiao Ji, who'd gotten the stethoscope out of the chest the day before.

Yesterday Xiao Ji had opened three chests all in one breath. He was fortunate to not have immediately died. One chest had an item for the humans to use, one had a skill for Hako Onna, and one had been empty.

When Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu found Xiao Ji, Wei Xiude was sitting beside him.

Ruan Nanzhu explained the situation, indicating that the stethoscope could distinguish whether or not the Hako Onna was inside a chest. If they opened the chest after using it, then the risk would be greatly diminished.

Wei Xiude didn't say anything after, but Xiao Ji shot to attention.

"Really? This stethoscope's really that useful? Then we've hit the jackpot, we can just listen our way through."

"There must be a usage limit on this item," Ruan Nanzhu said. "You can go try it on a chest first."

After listening to their conversation, Wei Xiude still didn't speak up, acting as if he was just a bystander. Though he seemed harmless, nobody who made it to their tenth door was easy pickings—everybody was quite clear on this. Plus, all the newbies he'd brought along was telling.

Xiao Ji put on the stethoscope and picked out a random chest in the living room. Putting the stethoscope to the wooden exterior, he gave it a long listen before turning around and saying, "there's no sound inside."

"Try opening it," Ruan Nanzhu said.

"Why don't you do it?" Xiao Ji said. "I'm a bit scared."

He said he was scared, but there wasn't a single touch of fright on his face. Clearly, he just didn't want to shoulder the risk of opening the chest.

Ruan Nanzhu's lips curved up.

"Sure, I can do it, but if I open up an item, who gets to keep it?"

Xiao Ji said, "me, of course. I'm the one who picked this chest."

Ruan Nanzhu, lazily, "as if. I take all the risks and you keep all the benefits?"

Xiao Ji thought about it, and seemed to find Ruan Nanzhu's words logical. He got ready to open the chest himself, but Ruan Nanzhu suddenly thought of something.

"Wait. I want to give the chest a listen."

"Hm?" Xiao Ji was a bit thrown.

Ruan Nanzhu first pressed himself to the chest and listened for a while. And then he waved Lin Qiushi and Liang Miye over. The three listened around the chest for another bit of time, until Ruan Nanzhu finally got up and gave Xiao Ji a wave.

"Okay, open it."

At least Xiao Ji was brave. Among the newbies who'd entered, he wasn't in a bad condition, nor did he show any signs of pending emotional breakdown. After rubbing his palms together, he took hold of the lid of the chest and gave it a hefty lift—

The chest opened with a click, revealing the empty bottom. There was nothing inside.

"Empty." Xiao Ji was disappointed that they hadn't opened up any useful items.

"Come here for a second," Ruan Nanzhu said. "Come with me to the bathroom."

"Ah." Xiao Ji eyed Ruan Nanzhu up and down. "That's…not gonna work, right?"

Ruan Nanzhu, "I said come to the bathroom, not use it. Let's go."

Xiao Ji laughed and followed Ruan Nanzhu to the bathroom.

Lin Qiushi followed and very quickly understood what Ruan Nanzhu wanted to do. He saw Ruan Nanzhu bring Xiao Ji to a certain stall and point at the chest inside.

"Listen to that with your stethoscope."

This chest was the one that used False Answers just now to trick Lin Qiushi into opening it. If there were restrictions on the Hako Onna's motions, then she couldn't have left this chest in such a short amount of time. From the difference between these two chests, they had a lot of information to gain: first was what sounds came out of a chest with the Hako Onna inside, and second was the usage limit for the stethoscope.

Xiao Ji took out the stethoscope and, just like before, pressed the listening end to the wooden chest. Moments later, his expression changed and he swore a low, oh fuck.

"Heard something?" Ruan Nanzhu asked.

"Yes," Xiao Ji said. "There's a kid crying inside…"

He quickly stowed the stethoscope away, clearly unwilling to listen to more.

Ruan Nanzhu approached the chest and gave it a few pats, saying, "seems like she really is inside. If we find any key items, we can actually give them a try."

They had yet to find any items that could be used against the Hako Onna, however.

"Your stethoscope can be used at least twice. If you get a chance tomorrow, you can try using it a third time," Ruan Nanzhu said. "It's a really good item, congratulations."

"Hah, no need for that, I just got lucky," Xiao Ji replied off-handedly.

Wei Xiude had been standing quietly at the side this whole time. It was only now that he smiled and chimed in, "that's right, Xiao Ji's always been lucky. I would never have wanted to help him pass the doors otherwise."

"Thanks, Wei-ge," Xiao Ji answered with his own smile.

Though he was thanking Wei Xiude, there wasn't actually that much gratitude in his eyes. It seemed he wasn't an idiot either. After all, even though they were newbies, the group was at least of average intellect. They had parsed the fact that Wei Xiude had conscripted them as cannon fodder. It was just that they were less lucky this time around, and were encountering a door world beyond the average.

After confirming the stethoscope's usability, Ruan Nanzhu said he wanted to check out the second floor again next, so Xiao Ji and Wei Xiude left.

When they were gone, however, Ruan Nanzhu was still in no hurry to leave the bathroom. He approached the chest again, bending down and pressing his head to it to listen. Then he beckoned Lin Qiushi over.

"What is it?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"You try it," Ruan Nanzhu said. "Who knows if the stethoscope actually has special powers, or if it's just an amplifier. If it's only an amplifier…"

He paused, peeked at Lin Qiushi, and grinned.

"Then don't we have an even better one right here?"

Lin Qiushi laughed. "It can't just be an amplifier, right? Or I could just hear it all, what would the items be for?"

As he spoke, he too pressed his ear to the wooden chest—but the moment he made contact, he really did hear a soft sound…which, upon careful listen, sounded like a young girl crying.

The change in Lin Qiushi's expression gave Ruan Nanzhu his answer.

"What? You really can hear it?"

"I hear it." Lin Qiushi's eyes were wide. "…I really do hear it."

He checked again and again that this wasn't his imagination. He really could hear the sound from inside the chest.

"Fuck, this has gotta be cheating." Liang Miye had also heard their conversation from off to the side. "Then Linlin can tell what's in all the chests?"

"No," Ruan Nanzhu said. "There's a use limit on the stethoscope, so there might be one on Lin Qiushi too. It's still best to be careful. But at least…we have two tries per day."

Lin Qiushi left the chest. He asked, "can we tell when Hakobito are inside?"

"Probably yes, though we don't know what they'll concretely sound like yet," Ruan Nanzhu said. "With Qiushi, our safety factor's much, much higher."

Being sitting ducks was no longer a concern.

Lin Qiushi was quite impressed with Ruan Nanzhu. Who else would've thought to have him try this?

Once they had this confirmation, they headed for the second floor. When they got there though they heard hubbub from the study, as if there were a lot of people crowded inside.

Ruan Nanzhu went to the study to look. He saw some people crouched in front of the strongbox with their heads down, doing something.

"Are they trying passcodes?" Liang Miye asked. "Can that work?"

If they were bent on trying, of course they could do it. There were ten thousand possible combinations—if they counted two seconds per try, ten thousand tries was twenty thousand seconds, which in hours, came out to about five or so. They could get it done in an afternoon.

This was even the worst case scenario; under normal circumstances it would be faster, because it was basically impossible that it would take them the first try all the way to the last.

Ruan Nanzhu spoke slowly, "in their dreams."

The doors would never give them such a big loophole to worm their way through.

He called to the people in the study, "stop that. There's no way there's such an obvious loophole inside the doors."

"How do you know it won't work? Besides, it's pretty standard to try the safe access codes." The people in the crowd thought differently from Ruan Nanzhu. They continued, "and we've been at this for so long already…"

Lin Qiushi was about to take a step forward and get a better look inside the study. Ruan Nanzhu, however, pulled him to a stop.

"Don't go in."

"Why not?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nanzhu, "bad feeling."

Practically the moment he finished saying this, there came a holler from inside the safe: "It's open!"

"What??" Liang Miye was stunned. "It opened, just like that? No way, right?"

Ruan Nanzhu's brow furrowed.

Though it seemed highly incredible, they both heard a click and saw the safe open from where they stood outside the door.

The people inside, upon seeing the safe open, even tossed taunting looks at Ruan Nanzhu over their shoulders, as if saying Look, didn't we get it open after all?

"Let's see what's inside."

The person testing the passcodes rubbed his palms together in excitement before pulling open the strongbox door. However, upon seeing what was inside, his expression instantly turned into one of pure terror. With a scream he made to run—but a moment later, a pair of thin, white arms reached out of that safe and caught him in a death grip. In an instant, they'd dragged him inside that small strongbox.

"Aaaaaah—"

The man being pulled in let out a single, dreadful scream before disappearing before everybody's eyes.

What had just been an energetic atmosphere in the study froze instantly, as if a block of ice.

Ruan Nanzhu approached the safe and gave the door a tug. He wasn't surprised at all to find that it had locked once again.

But coming from inside were horrible wails for help. They were coming from the person who'd just been dragged in.

"Help, help me, help me, please please you have to help me…"

As the despairing screams emanated out from within, everybody in the study was turning and running.

The number of Hakobito in the house now was up to three. The situation was getting steadily worse.

Frowning, Ruan Nanzhu said, "this is precisely why I don't like newbies."

Had it been veterans challenging the strongbox just now, they'd likely have stopped the moment he said something… No, veterans would never even have taunted the door's authority to such a degree, and done something like trying to force the safe open.

"Yeah, they've got no sense of deference, and each thinks they're the main character here," Liang Miye sighed, shaking her head. "They keep thinking they'll be the lucky ones, when in reality, they're just bystanders and cannon fodder."

The man dragged into the safe was still wailing. It was spine-chilling to hear.

Due to this incident, by the time Ruan Nanzhu had returned to the foyer the entire house was pretty quiet. The veterans were checking every corner of the mansion, and the newbies were huddled up and trembling like sheep in the living room. Some were even sobbing. Lin Qiushi spotted a man in his thirties inside the group…He seemed like he was reaching the end of his rope as well.

"Let's eat first," Ruan Nanzhu said. There was no point in comforting them at a time like this. "It's twelve."

"I don't have an appetite." There was a pitiful-looking young woman. "What do we do? Are we going to die here?"

Ruan Nanzhu glanced once at her.

"I don't know if you're gonna die here or not, but I do know people will die if they don't eat. Let's go, I'm hungry."

The three of them went to the dining room and found a table of steaming dishes and a group of pale-faced people. These were, for the most part, veterans. Not a single one of them had picked up their chopsticks, and were all silently watching the table of food before them without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Nanzhu sensed something wrong in the air, and asked, "why aren't you eating?"

"We can't." Sun Yuanzhou seemed to have a good impression of Ruan Nanzhu, and so replied. "Why don't you give it a try?"

Can't? Hearing this Lin Qiushi blinked. He took a random seat, picked up some chopsticks, and got ready to eat, but then felt some force stop him—he couldn't reach the food in front of him with his chopsticks.

Ruan Nanzhu and Liang Miye too were met with the same situation as Lin Qiushi. It was as if some sort of wall had been put up in front of them, preventing them from accessing the food.

"No way…" Liang Miye's face had begun to go pale; she'd clearly surmised a very unfortunate possibility. "Tell me it's not what I think it is."

"The world of the doors indeed," Ruan Nanzhu sighed. "As if we'd get so lucky."

He'd thought they had plenty of time, but in reality, the door was nowhere as lenient as they'd imagined.

Ruan Nanzhu got up.

"Let's confirm it first."

He went to the living room and called for Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji said, "but I'm not hungry yet."

"Just come take a quick bite," Ruan Nanzhu said.

Xiao Ji was confused, but still followed Ruan Nanzhu. He too sensed that something was wrong inside the dining room—when he sat down and picked up a mouthful of vegetables with his chopsticks, he saw the instant change in everybody's gazes, and jumped.

"Fuck, what are you all staring at me for?" He glanced at his chopstick, and immediately dropped the food. "There's poison in it?"

"No doubt about it, our guess is right," Ruan Nanzhu sighed.

The air in the dining room was deadly silent.

A bit on-edge from all the people staring at him, Xiao Ji let out a humorless laugh.

"What are you all looking at me for?"

"Can the food be shared?" Sun Yuanzhou asked. "Xiao Ji, feed me a bite."

"Ah??" Spooked by Sun Yuanzhou sitting right next to him, Xiao Ji jumped to his feet. "Man, don't be like that, I'm not interested in men."

Sun Yuanzhou gnashed his teeth.

"I'm also not interested in men! We can't eat the food, and you're the only one who can even use the chopsticks—"

Seeing that Xiao Ji was still clueless, Sun Yuanzhou picked up his chopsticks and decided to give Xiao Ji a practical demonstration.

At first Xiao Ji thought that Sun Yuanzhou was joking, because surely it was too absurd. But when he saw that everybody else's expressions were deadly serious, he realized this wasn't a joke.

"You guys mean that if you don't open a chest, you can't eat?"

"Yes," Ruan Nanzhu said.

"So why could we eat breakfast?" Xiao Ji asked.

Liang Miye made a joke that wasn't funny at all: "Maybe they were worried we'd have low blood sugar?"

"Hurry up and try to see if you can feed me or not." Sun Yuanzhou was a bit impatient. "I'm starving."

Xiao Ji, "…can I try on somebody else?"

His glance slid toward Ruan Nanzhu. Feeding a beautiful young lady, after all, was a far more joyous affair than feeding a rough and tumble old guy.

Sun Yuanzhou sneered, "you sure got a lot of shit to say."

Xiao Ji, "…"

Under the force of Sun Yuanzhou's glower, Xiao Ji unwillingly compromised. He picked up a bite of food in his chopsticks and began delivering it into Sun Yuanzhou's mouth. But before it could get there, Xiao Ji felt a blockage around the chopsticks in his hands. It should have been within easy reach, but he simply couldn't put the food into Sun Yuanzhou's mouth.

"Great." Seeing this, the group had irrefutable evidence to the truth of the hypothesis. Someone at the table blew a fuse, swearing in dialect: "This dick shite of a door, son of a cunt."

Lin Qiushi kind of wanted to laugh at his words, but it didn't feel appropriate. So he covered his mouth with a hand.

"What do we do?" Liang Miye was crumbling a bit. "If we want to eat we have to open the chests…Dammit, I knew there had to be a time limit."

And they'd thought the door was showing them mercy for once. Who'd have thought it had been lying in wait right here?

There was indeed a bug in this game. If players didn't open any chests, then the Hako Onna couldn't make her moves. With enough time, they could use one item on every single chest. They could even amass a lot of useful items.

For the Hako Onna to kill, after all, there was the necessary condition.

But the door was blockading off that potential path right now. It was also giving them a multiple choice problem: they could either get grabbed by the Hako Onna, or they could starve to death inside the mansion.

Xiao Ji had also understood his own peculiar position. He grabbed a bowl in a hurry and shoveled in a few mouthfuls of rice, mumbling, "I'm gonna eat first then, if you guys don't mind…"

Everybody's eyes on him were like they couldn't wait to eat him alive.

Liang Miye let out one long exhale before looking at Ruan Nanzhu.

"What do we do, Zhu Meng?"

Ruan Nanzhu, "what can we do? We're not eating then." Dropping the chopsticks, he got to his feet. "Let's go."

Lin Qiushi and Lin Qiushi followed him out the dining room. The other veterans gradually left as well. Somberness painted everybody's faces.

Xiao Ji also knew he was just begging to be resented, so after scarfing down all the rice in his bowl, he also quickly took off.

Lin Qiushi's group returned to their room. The three sat down in intense quiet.

"We don't eat today," Ruan Nanzhu spoke placidly. "We wait until Linlin gives some chests a listen tomorrow, and then eat."

Starving for one day wouldn't kill you, but opening up just one wrong box could mean your life.

"Didn't think there'd be this kind of limitation," Liang Miye said. "It's practically forcing us to suicide."

In the tabletop, there was no such issue of forcing players to open chests. It was only a game, after all, and to win the game, players would certainly go looking for and opening chests.

But it was different now that the game had become reality. What they would lose wasn't that tiny unimportant character role, but their own lives. If they had the option, who would put their own lives on the line? They'd all rather stay in the mansion for longer than take this kind of risk.

Now, however, with such a restriction, the door was forcing the players into activity.

All the veteran readily accepted this reality, but to the newbies, this was too cruel of a development.

Even on the second floor, Lin Qiushi could hear their wailing from the first. In between the wails were terrible cries: "I don't want to open the chests, I don't want to open them—I want to leave, let me out!!"

Somebody began to batter at the door, trying to escape from the mansion.

"Wei Xiude, Wei Xiude! You said you'd protect us!" Someone else had gone to find Wei Xiude, and spoke with a shaky voice. "What are we meant to do now!"

Wei Xiude calmed them down with some superficial comfort, saying things like there would definitely be a solution. As for what that solution could be, he wasn't likely to know himself.

But Lin Qiushi could tell he indeed wasn't in a rush. Xiao Ji was in his group and was in possession of a key item. They could open two chests per day, so he and Xiao Ji at least were saved.

This sudden rule plunged the entire mansion into chaos. By the time the dust settled, it was already evening.

Sun Yuanzhou gathered everyone on the first floor and called for a group meeting.

Everybody sat in dead silence around the table, listening to Sun Yuanzhou speak. "We've already come to this point. Does everybody understand now that this is a team effort?"

He slammed his hand onto the table.

"We have to work together, or we're all dying inside this door!"

Afte a long beat of silence, somebody spoke: "How do we work together?"

"We'll start by opening chests," Sun Yuanzhou said. "I won't force you. You can starve to death if you'd like."

But, after opening a chest, please stick a slip of paper on the chest to prevent repeats. They should also write what they found inside the chests on the paper.

"Okay," Ruan Nanzhu agreed, hands on his elbows. "But what happens if somebody lies?"

"Then we kick the liar out of the group," Sun Yuanzhou answered coldly. "The Hako Onna is annoying enough, we don't have the energy for infighting. I hope every single one of us can be dead clear on this point."

Translator’s Note:

I’ve always been on the liberal side when it comes to translating curses, but if someone who knows—is it Chongqing? Sichuan?—dialect wants to give me an English equivalent for “撒子錘子門哦，寶批龍胎的” I’d love to know it ("This dick shite of a door, son of a cunt"). It’s just vibes rn skdjfnkds

Legolas x reader

Requested: Yes! @lotr-th-nin-meleth​ asked “Hey! Could I get a Legolas x Reader where the reader is caring for an injured baby deer she found in the forest and she's usually really gruff and cold and keeps to herself? So Legolas gets all soft watching her be soft and she asks him for help or something you can choose and he's just all flustered and it's cute. Thank you xxx”

A/N: I switched it up a bit, hope you don’t mind! I also skipped the ‘old’ Westron Legolas usually speaks, to make it easier for me. Because I can do that.

Warnings: one soft curse word, mentions of blood, Legolas in love (yes, that needs its own warning)

“You are remarkably quiet today,” Legolas said to you after almost half an hour of silence.  You didn’t say anything back, eyes scanning the forest around you. Legolas shook his head. There was just no way to distract you, always focused on the task you’d been given. 

You were part of the Guard of Mirkwood. From the very beginning you had proven to be an exceptionally good fighter. Every mission you were sent on turned out succesful and with no casualties, so it didn’t take long for you to be allowed to go on even more dangerous missions.  Even though you had an impressive record, being an Elleth made it extra hard. It didn’t matter how skilled you were and that you’d showed more than once that you were tougher than most of the other guards, they still belittled you for being female. So when you were on duty, you put on a facade: stern expression, cold stare and not a sound unless you were spoken to. 

Despite your gruff facade, the Prince of Mirkwood had taken a liking to you. Not that you noticed; after all, you were too busy proving your worth.  Legolas made sure he was assigned to your group on patrols or vice versa - not that he didn’t have a choice, being Prince and all - and always suggested your name when there was a two-person job. All very subtle of course.

Today had been no different. There had been a sighting of a few Orcs wandering the forest, not that far from the palace. Thranduil instructed him to send a few guards to go and solve the problem. Those ‘few guards’ turned into Legolas and you. 

And now you were making your way through the forest, hunting some Orcs, with Legolas by your side who was desperately trying to make conversation. 

“You are allowed to speak, Y/N. It’s only me.” “Yes, only you... Don’t you think it’s rather strange our King sent only two guards? How many Orcs were seen again?” “Enough to handle ourselves, do not worry.” You scoffed. “I’m not worried, you know damn well that I could take them on my ow-” A sound in the distance made you cut off your sentence. Legolas heard it too, and you signaled him to climb the trees.

You both jumped from one tree to another with ease, until you reached a small clearance. There you could see about a dozen Orcs, most of them taking a rest, a few trying to make a fire to keep the spiders away. You signaled to Legolas to stay put, while you made your way to the other side of the clearance. 

He rolled his eyes at that. Shouldn’t it be him telling you what to do? But he listened anyway and waited for your signal. In his mind he was already planning how to attack the pack, thinking he could easily kill 4 or 5 Orcs from where he was hiding before making his way down the tree. This was almost too easy. 

A screech in the distance made the Orcs jump up and 3 of them disappeared in the woods, running past the tree you were hiding in. It seemed like the pack hadn’t been complete. You waved to Legolas, signaling you would go after them. Before he could protest, you were gone.  Why did you always have to prove yourself? He had no visuals anymore, but he could hear how your feet touched the ground. Your fight had begun. 

In one swift movement he took his bow and notched an arrow, and shot the Orc closest to him. Before he let himself drop down, he killed two more. He smirked to the six remaining Orcs and switched his bow for his two blades.  “Let us begin,” he muttered.

*

It was over in less than ten minutes. They didn’t even put up a real fight, Legolas thought.  Probably too exhausted from wandering through the forest for so long. He looked around but couldn’t see any sign of you, not even with his Elven eyes. Suppressing the slight rush of panic he felt, he began to look for you. You were tough. There was no way you couldn’t handle a handful of exhausted Orcs by yourself, he kept repeating in an attempt to reassure himself.

He ran through the forest, fighting the urge to call out your name. The last thing he wanted was to alert anything else of his presence.  “Legolas!” He halted immediately, frantically looking around him in an attempt to locate you. This was not a good sign, he thought. You knew how dangerous it was to draw attention to you this deep in the forest. It could only mean one thing... “LEGOLAS!” He tried to ignore the despair in your voice, and ran as fast as he could in the direction of your scream.  After a few agonizing minutes he found you hunched over on your knees. “Y/N?”

When you turned around, his heart stopped. Your hands were covered in blood. Red, not black, he realized.   He fell to his knees at your side, his eyes searching your body for injuries. “Where are you hurt?” Your tunic was no longer a lighter green, but stained with a dark red. He tried to remain calm for your sake, on the inside he was definitely freaking out. You didn’t answer him, and burst into tears instead.  “You’re going to be okay,” he said, more to himself than to you. “Everything is going to be okay.” He put an arm under your knees and around your waist and lifted you up with the utmost care, but you stopped him.  “Y/N, I have to get you back home. Just... please, let me take care of you.” “It’s not mine,” you said in between sobs, pointing to your drenched clothes.  “What happened?” Legolas asked, completely lost by now. He sat down on his knees with you still in his arms. If he wasn’t feeling so helpless at the moment, he would enjoy holding you this close. It felt nice. “I-...” You tried to take a long breath to calm down so you could tell him what was going on, but it only made it worse. Legolas rubbed your back softly until you found your voice again, relieved it seemed to help a little. “I-... I didn’t mean to hurt him!”

Legolas looked at you questioningly. Him? He scanned your surroundings but couldn’t see anyone.  You got up from his lap and took a few steps away from him, motioning him to follow you. He had to keep himself from taking your hand.  You took another ten steps and crouched down. Legolas heard you sniffling again.  What he saw in front of your feet, was probably the last thing he expected to see. A small deer, probably still a baby, lay on the ground. A large gap in his side, clearly your work. 

“Oh,” he sighed, finally understanding why you were so upset. The deer had definitely been in the wrong place at the wrong time. A laugh escaped his throat. You narrowed your eyes at him. Was he really laughing at you?  When he saw you were annoyed at him, he shook his head.

“Y/N you really are curious. Slaying Orcs, killing off spiders, you don’t bat an eye. Doesn’t affect you in the slightest. But an injured deer got you all upset?”  You felt the blood rise in your cheeks. Was it your fault you just really loved the forest animals? Someone had to take care of them, so why not you? You noticed him staring at you, a certain emotion in his eyes you could not seem to read. “What?” you asked him. “You’re cute... I mean-,” Legolas corrected himself too late. “It’s cute, the deer... is cute.”

You didn’t say anything back and Legolas cursed himself.  “You know what, let’s take it with us to the palace. I’m sure our Healers could do something for him,” he suggested. He wasn’t entirely sure they could do that, but if it would make you feel better...  “Are you sure we can do that?” “Of course we can, I’m the Prince.” He winked at you, and lifted the deer into his arms. You rolled your eyes at his cockiness. He was nothing like his father. 

“Thank you,” you said sincerely.  “Anything for you...”

A/N: Aaaaaah, I’m so bad at endings 🙈 I wanted something smart or funny, maybe I’ll change it later on if I can think of something. Sorry!

A/N part 2: It’s at times like these that I curse myself for not being a native English speaker. So sorry that my writing feels a little forced sometimes, but that’s mostly because of my lack of English vocabulary or because I can’t think of another way to say things and Google Translate can only do so much. So why not write in my own language you ask? Well... I don’t think there are a lot of Flemish (or Dutch) speaking Tumblr users waiting for Flemish lotr fics :)

💜AAAAAAH, I GOT SO EXCITED SENDING THE REQUEST I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION I WAS REQUESTING 2,6 AND 62 FROM LIST N°1! ;v; And yet I found the time to ramble,,, ywy Many sorries!! >v<" I am truly ashamed... UvU"

Changes & Miscalculations

Rock Lee x gn!reader

warnings: post war era, angst, domestic fluffs

a/n: I truly appreciate your very long and detailed request! I do hope I managed to hit up ur expectation in this fic omg💜

2) “You make me feel. You make me feel and I hate it.”

6) “I would honestly die before I let anything happen to you.”

62) “I’m not sure when it happened, but I fell in love with you, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done.”

You looked straight ahead at the Hokage stone faces and the lights they had just put up together, knowing he was looking at you it somehow made you feel, powerful but at the same time inferior. Is that even possible? At first, you thought it wasn’t but whenever you are with him, it’s really possible to feel all sorts of emotions. You kept cool and expressionless. You knew that was how you could stay in control, though you did wonder about him. Why hadn't he ever made a move on her? Was it just your miscalculations?

“y/n!!” He screamed by the hills. Completely getting your attention, his hands resting on his hips, his bowl-cut raven hair swirling along with the breeze of Konoha with his classic smile that never seems to fade. Over the years he’d grown much stronger, fiercer, and braver after the 4th great ninja war.

“What? Lee, you’re being loud” He gave you a wider smile when he saw that irritated and sulky look on your face completely ignoring your annoyed look, and instead, he gave a pat on your head, holding your hand that you had sworn to yourself that it sent shivers to your spine. This guy is really something else. 

“Being grumpy is not part of youth, come here y/n!!” He pulled you closer to his, your legs closer to him, and feeling his calloused hand brushed to your shoulders. You never muttered a word, just followed his instructions and did as you are told. You twirled your hands away from his sight, letting the silence torture him, feeling a slight pang of guilt but it vanished as soon as he spoke.

“C’mon y/n what’s the problem. You’re never this quiet whenever we go here.” Just the way Lee had emphasized the both of you going here like it’s your spot. It was as if it’s only meant for the both of you. Truth be told you were absolutely afraid, of course, you’re friends with this man for Kami knows when already but you yourself knew it was more than that. He is well-loved by everyone, anyone would have liked Lee and you know you wouldn’t stand a chance to the lady Lee loves and the fact that you both live in the same apartment doubles the tension, you never want to be closer to him but you felt like you needed to be closer to him. Like it was some kind of necessity, completely essential to your living.

“You know what Lee you make feel absolutely worst!” You blurted out, after a few minutes of deafening silence, you finally spoke. Lee gave out one shocking glance to your sudden remarks. Flustered and afraid, he sat down like he is some kind of obedient puppy waiting for your strict orders. “I-is everything okay?” 

“No! You make me feel all sorts of emotions and I hate it. I really hate it.”

“Is it bad?” His innocent remarks doubled the anger. You were the only one feeling this and probably for Lee, it’s just some petty drama. You decided not to mutter a word, massive thoughts clouding in your mind would mean a war with him, and choosing not to talk would be the safest way to escape this drama. “y/n talk to me.” 

For a while it startled you, Lee was never this serious even on missions. He always wanted to make sure things are on their positive side but now is different. His voice, his gaze, and his posture look different. It scares you. The friendship both of you had protected over the years is at its stake. 

“What’s this feeling? Why do my heart flutter whenever you hold me? Why do you always protect me? We’re supposed to be friends and roommates and I just know this is more than just that!!! But I know you, you like someone else so why act like this Lee, I don’t even understand this and I hate you for it.”

“Don’t ask me why I protect you. You know that I would honestly die before I let anything happen to you.”

“You know what. You’re so confusing. Why do I even love you.” You whispered while looking around the Hokage’s stone faces, desperately trying to suppress your tears from falling. How can he be so ignorant? How can you be so devoted to a guy who wouldn’t even consider your feelings. You were just some petty roommate of him, no big deal.

To all your surprise, the typical optimistic Lee you have known is far from what you’re seeing right now. It was nothing but a dull and emotionless Rock Lee. It’s what you get for crossing the imaginary line both of you had set. It’s what you get from crossing the boundaries that shouldn’t have been there in the first place. 

“Tenten is right.” He muttered, going closer to your place as he knelt in front of you, covering the wonderful scenery of Konohagakure that you’ll never get tired of seeing. “It’s not youthful to deny the feelings we have y/n. It’s not what Guy Sensei taught us.” 

 “I’m not sure when it happened, but I fell in love with you, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I don’t regret anything.” 

Your thoughts run free as he gazes into the horizon. Murmuring softly into his ear as Lee leans down along the smooth length of your neck. Ears flick back as your soft words ease into the man’s consciousness. “L-liar.”

“Gaara-kun told me I should be honest and I’m doing it. I love you.” 

A pair of arms hugged you and there it goes… The anger filled in your heart paved away, you just broke down of it. A soft cry escapes your mouth as you buried your cheek against the Konoha flak jacket of Lee. The extreme and sudden pain in your chest filling with the need to run into the impending storm. You ached to free yourself from his grip. It feels home. Love. A silent tear courses down your cheek when Lee never let go of your dainty body and only finding yourself hugging him tighter while looking at his dark orbs filled with rock-hard determination. 

“I love you too a lot… you stupid ignorant Lee… I hate it when you wake up early…” 

Moaning softly as the wind increases, you felt him pull your hair between his fingers in a sweet caress. Lee chuckled at your response as he kissed your head, taking his time to smell your earthy scent that he had gotten used to.

“I’m not early, you’re just simply lazy” He retorted back

“Is being a poet makes you youthful now?” 

Lee once again gave out a louder chuckle as he untangled himself from the hug to see your face in a clearer view. Still sulking from the heated conversation you both had few minutes ago. He kissed the tip of your nose and gave out his classic smile that you wished to see for the rest of your eternity.

“Guess you could say that, sleepyhead.”
