#Lovers Quest Lyrics

[gotta-winwin]

Wahhhh so excited for vernon x reader!!!!!!

Can i request something like idol!jun x reader, i really miss jun 🥹🥹🥹 maybe reader is on another hybe group and him surprising him, or anything HAHAHAHAH

actor!jun x idol!reader headcannons

a/n: wasn't exactly like the prompt you gave, anon, but i hope you still enjoy! we're all in our missing jun hours sadly :(( but it feels nice knowing he's thriving in the element he loves.

your shared google calendar is a hot mess.

The two of you have busy work schedules, as you juggle upcoming comebacks, award shows, reality and variety filming, meetings with the higher-ups - the day literally never ends. Jun is the same, always trying to balance his filming gigs and promotional side quests. It’s rare for the two of you to have a day off - let alone ALIGN your days together. Trust that your shared google calendar is a battlefield filled with colorful agendas and very minimal white space. 

bad wifi is your everyday lifestyle. 

Curse Jun and his gift of choosing acting gigs where their filming locations are always in the ass-crack of nowhere. You’re both well accustomed to facetime with spotty service, delayed speech and glitchy faces. It’s turned into quite the game, as you both attempt to screenshot the worst photo of each other possible, while still maintaining your own image and reputation. It’s a pain to communicate, constantly having Jun reply to something you had said minutes ago, but you two make it work. 

dating rumors are a joke. 

With both of you being well into the social media spotlight, you’re prone to many, many dating rumors throughout your career. It’s Ateez’s Mingi one day, then TBZ’s Haknyeon the next, Jun doesn’t even bat an eye at this point. He knows who he is at the end of the day - your boyfriend. On the other hand, it’s not the first time he’s gotten an earful from you about dating rumors with his pretty costars, although he knows it’s all in good fun. All it takes is one sweet sentence to get you to fold: “it’s you I’m coming home to lao po, besides, can’t you see how forced that kiss is? I kiss you with much, much more fervor than that.” 

you see his friends more than you see him.

His friends run in the same circles as you do, all talented idols that often share your stage in performances. It’s funny to think you see them more often than you see him, although they’re always ready to tell you just how much Jun complains about your distance in their group chat, exposing you boyfriend to be the clingy lover he really is. They’ve aided you many times in sneaking away from your job to visit Jun, covering your ass so you can spend even just a couple hours with your boyfriend in China. 

planes and airports are the ideal date spot.

It’s not rare to have the two of you go on a “date” at airports, using the special time your schedules cross over to spend time with each other. The airport buffets become your picnics, the lobby fountains hear all your well kept wishes and the seating area has seen…one too many things. 

your jokes are the world’s jokes

Jun loves slipping little tidbits of your shared life into his work, nudging the writer of whatever project he’s starring in to add a couple lines referencing something only the two of you would know. He loves your shocked expression when the project finally airs to the world, his phone blowing up with loving texts as you swallow the idea that your lover has included you in his work. It’s just his talent - Jun somehow finds a way to bring you everywhere with him. 

your love is the world’s love

You would never admit it on camera, but most of your lyrics and songs are either written with or written about Jun. While everyone else is scrambling to figure out just how you do it, you and Jun can rest easy knowing it’s your shared secret, along with your secret romance.

lover : percy jackson

book percy jackson. unspecified godly parent!reader. takes place around two years post trials of apollo. both of them are in college. 815 words.

synopsis: "like hell! the only one who can get me away from you right now is my mom." ; ft; late night rain dancing, taylor swift playing, warm towels and a shit ton of kisses from your second favourite person in the whole wide world.

note: repost 1 from my old account! i love this fic so so much, but i need to heavily stress that this (and all my percy fics) are for book percy, (17-18 year old) i don't write for show percy as of now. an old fic written before the show came out, so please, be nice to me, directly reposted from @the-ink-of-roses incase you've read it before!

percy's hands slip around your waist, your back to his chest, as he picks you up and gently sways the two of you to the beat of 'love story' by taylor swift while he hums the lyrics under his breath.

he tugs you closer and presses a kiss to your cheek and jaw, resting his head on your shoulder later. you giggle when he does that, turning your head slightly to kiss his forehead.

the playlist probably ran out ages ago, now you two are staying afloat purely on the will of the spotify lords and their music choice, but as long as it's a song that either you or percy know, it works.

(anything works, to be honest, just as long as percy's here, behind you, holding you like you're the one thing he never wants to lose. as long as you have that, you know you've won. as long as percy jackson holds your hand and kisses your cheeks, gods, you'll take anything.)

new rome is fun, it keeps life interesting in a way that doesn't risk you, him and annabeth going out on quests--and annabeth having to mock throw up every time you two kiss even if you know she's just as terrified as you two.

swords and running from medusa's sisters (or medusa sometimes. yeah aunty em was NOT happy last time you met her, apparently she still remembered the store circus thing even if it was more than seven years ago) were replaced with chasing deadlines and seeing how many energy drinks you guys can stomach.

you're in new york right now, staying at sally's (when she learnt you were going to spend the holidays in new rome, she demanded her son get you home. no way in hell is estelle's favourite person going to stay alone for the holidays), and like the two very smart heroes of olympus you two are, you're out here dancing in the rain.

it's a little silly, yeah, but in your absolute defence, this started out as percy trying to teach you how to skateboard before the rain, and neither of you are going to let that ruin a date for you (by extension let zeus ruin another date for you, even if this isn't aimed at you--probably not aimed at you), so you two made the best of both worlds, thanking the gods the speaker piper got for you is waterproof. (in hindsight, percy is also waterproof, he just likes this better. despite the inevitable cold coming in soon for both of you).

with one last strike of thunder, the rain slowly dies down, leaving you and him in the park as the spotify lords finally give up on you two.

percy drops you suddenly and you have only two seconds to squeal in absolute surprise before you're turned around to face him this time. he's grinning at you with a look of absolute mischief--you're sure connor and travis had the exact same look before they shoved you into the pool last time you guys visited camp half blood. of course, percy was in there but something tells you that was their goal.

he looks so pretty you could cry.

and this pure boy, who smiles secretly to you, looks at you like you're the one at the centre of his universe, the one who holds your heart. this same boy has given you his, asking only for your love in return, something you're more than happy to give him.

before you can ask him what he's up to, percy suddenly shakes his hair, causing all the water to fly everywhere, including on you.

you almost yell in surprise but with a small chuckle bite back. doing the same, as both of you laugh while shaking your heads to have the water droplets go around everywhere.

it's probably a weird sight to watch--two teenagers, drenched in water, shaking their heads like there's no tomorrow while holding each other, but you don't really give four fucks.

once your head starts hurting, you stop and cup percy's face, getting him to stop as well. your other hand slides into his hair, messing it up further as the hand on his face guides him for a kiss.

he lifts you up again and twirls you--no doubt to get another laugh out of you--before setting you down.

percy doesn't let go of your hand either, not when you pick up your stuff and head to sally's (your current favourite person in the world), not while the two of you are lectured by her on colds coughs and fevers in this weather, not even when warm towels are given to the two of you.

not even when you two keep sneezing the next day to no one's surprise.

Lyric Subgenres

This is a summary of the kinds of poems that lyric poets return to most frequently. It is convenient to be able to name a poem by its kind, because you can then compare it to others of the same kind. Examples:

Address to the reader - "Pray thee, take care, that tak'st my book."

Ballad - "There lived a wife at Usher’s well, / And a wealthy wife was she; / She had three stout and stalwart sons, / And sent them o’er the sea."

Child's poem - "The Little Black Boy" (Blake)

Dawn poem (aubade) - "Get up! get up for shame! the blooming morn / Upon her wings presents the god unshorn."

Deathbed poem - "I heard a Fly buzz — when I died —"

Debate-poem - "Body / O who shall me deliver whole / From bonds of this tyrannic soul? . . . / Soul / What magic could me thus confine / Within another's grief to pine?"

Echo-poem - "Then tell me, what is that supreme delight? Light. / Light to the mind, what shall the will enjoy? Joy."

Ekphrasis (poem on an art object) - "Ode on a Grecuian Urn" (Keats)

Elegy - "Felix Randal the farrier, O is he dead then, my duty all ended?"

Emblem-poem (allegorical object) - "The Sick Rose" (Blake)

Epigram (short, pointed poem) - "I am his Highness' dog at Kew: / And pray, good sir, whose dog are you?"

Epitaph - Underneath this stone doth lie / All of beauty that could die.

Epithalamion (wedding song) - "And evermore they Hymen Hymen sing, / That al the woods them answer and theyr eccho ring."

Hymn - "Jerusalem, Jerusalem / Lift up your gates and sing, / Hosanna in the highest . . ."

Inscription - "I the poet William Yeats . . . / Restored this tower for my wife George: / And may these characters remain / When all is ruin once again."

Letter - "This is my letter to the world / That never wrote to me."

Lover's complaint - "And wilt thou leave me thus?"

Lullaby - "Lullay, lullay, thou tiny child."

Muse-poem - "The Solitary Reaper" (Wordworth)

Nocturne - "'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's."

Pastoral (rustic poem) - "The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing / For thy delight each May morning."

Political poem - "Easter, 1916" (Yeats)

Quest-poem - "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate."

Religious poem - "I saw eternity the other night."

Romance - "The Eve of St. Agnes" (Keats)

Seasonal poem - "Sumer is icumen in, / Lhude sing cuccu!"

Self-reflexive poem - "I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers."

Shaped poem - "Easter Wings" (Herbert)

Song - "It was a lover and his lass, / With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no . . ."

Twin poems - "The Lamb" and "The Tyger" (Blake)

Valediction - "Adieu, farewell earth's bliss."

Variations on a theme - "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black-bird" (Stevens)

There are many other such that one could name: the bird poem, the eclogue (a dialogue of shepherds), the georgic (a poem on farming), the testament (a poem making a will), the conversation poem (a poem of a middle, or familiar, style recounting a conversation among friends), and so on. The essential thing is to realize that almost any poem is a repeat of a preceding genre, perhaps an answer to it, perhaps a revision of it. Thinking “What kind of a lyric is this?” makes you more aware of its place in a genre tradition, and of its response to that tradition.

“I wanna be your lover."

Luke! Who got jealous when you were with T&C but tried to remind himself that you aren't together and can hangout with whoever.

Luke! Who realized how deeply in love he was with you and wanted to recruit you to Kronos army so you could be together without worrying.

Luke! Who was ecstatic when the four of you came back mostly unharmed but also realized his cover would be blown soon.

Luke! Who harboured your last night together before he was revealed.

"Again, babe, again."

"Again, babe, again."

"You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, my dear."

"So tell me that you love me again."

Luke! Who couldn't stop repeating the three words he only told you once before

Luke! Who seemed oddly clingy but you brushed it off as making up for missed time.

Luke! Who was almost in tears several times while kissing all over your body and repeating those three words to you.

Luke! Who took your virginity that night since he knew he might never see you again.

Luke! Who worshipped you all night and was so gentle with you.

Luke! Who broke your heart the next day.

"Ooh, she's screaming in my head."

"Ooh, I left her where I slept."

"Somewhere, I can't escape from, I'm running from myself."

"Somewhere in between in love and broken, I'm in hell."

Luke! Who felt horrible for betraying you like this but wanted to get revenge on the gods.

Luke! Who offered to protect you if you joined him, only to end up getting denied and screamed at.

Luke! Who couldn't turn back now that he outted himself, so he went through the portal alone.

Luke! Who was haunted by your face every night and day.

Luke! Who never stopped loving you, even if you were on different sides.

"Saying I wanna be your lover, I don't wanna be your friend."

"You don't know what you got 'til it's gone my dear."

"So tell me that you love me again."

Luke! Who replayed every memory of you together in his head during the days now that he's away from you.

Luke! Who missed you severely but couldn't go back to camp now.

Luke! Who was happy with getting his revenge but regretted it as well.

Luke! Who thought of those harsh words you yelled at him that night and how he just wanted to hear you say 'I love you' again.

Luke! Who desired a future with you but could only fantasize about it.

Luke! Who knew you hated him but still kept loving you.

"You'll leave when the clock hits ten."

"You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, my dear."

"So tell me that you love me again."

Luke! Who despite not seeing you for years, instantly recognized you when he saw you with Percy and Annabeth.

Luke! Who just wanted to stop Kronos to prove himself to you even if it meant dying.

Luke! Who just wanted you to love him again, even a little bit.

Luke! Who sacrificed himself to end Kronos just for you to know that he regrets it and wishes things were still normal like at camp all those years ago.

Luke! Who died for your unreciprocated love.

ATEEZ AS TAYLOR SWIFT SONGS P.2

[MAKNAE LINE] all (separated) x gn reader

read HYUNG LINE here

tw: tooth rotting fluff in san and mingi’s parts + nsfw(-ish?) on wooyoung (implied oral sex, reader recieving) and jongho’s (reader rides jongho’s thigh)

a/n: my god i finally got around to finish this draft!! i am actually kinda obsessed with jongho’s one so i miiiiight make a nsfw one shot based on it (keyword might)

SAN - SWEET NOTHING

san went through a tiring day, from early dance practices to fansigns and then late night recordings. normally these days wouldn’t bother him at all, but sometimes they did take a toll on him, making him feel mentally and physically exhausted. he just wanted to go back home and rest with you between his arms. 

san found you in the kitchen, softly humming a song while you prepared some midnight tea. you were wearing one of his shirts that looked a little too big on you, and your hair was messy, yet he thought you never looked more beautiful. he hugged you from behind, wrapping his arms around your middle and hiding his face between your neck and shoulder, kissing the spot. “san! you surprised me” you squealed, nearly dropping the cup. he muttered some sort of apology, that got lost between his kisses. “tea?” you asked, grabbing his favorite cup, not even waiting for his reply. you just knew it. 

san once told you about how he used to write songs back when he was a trainee, but eventually stopped doing so to focus on his dancing and singing. he remembers your surprised face, and how you took his hands in yours excitedly as you exclaimed “you should start writing again!”. with your encouragement, and a little help from hongjoong, he started composing whenever he had the time. on some occasions he shared lyrics with you, and each and every time you would look at him like he put the stars in the sky “you are so talented, sannie”, you said, followed by a kiss on his cheek. 

san found himself sitting on the sofa, with you cuddling right on his side as he mindlessly wrote about his feelings about the exhausting day he had, as per your suggestion when asked for inspiration. he had made mistakes while practicing the new choreography for the upcoming comeback, making him feel extra frustrated for the rest of the day, which affected his mood at the fansign. he didn’t want to let anyone down, so he kept thinking of ways to improve his dancing skills. it’s like he was hearing the same voice in his head from when he was a trainee, the same voice that said “you should be doing more” each time he failed. but, as if you could hear the same voice in his mind, you turned to him, setting aside the notebook and pen on his hand for a moment. “tomorrow is a new day, san. it’s going to be okay”. san nodded in response, closing his eyes as he rested his head on your chest. 

san finished the song. he wrote it as a ballad, about how exhausting it is sometimes to wake up, but how rewarding it feels when you come back home and find your person, softly humming in the kitchen while making midnight tea. about how, despite the pressures from the outside world, he could just be himself around them, admitting that he is, in fact, too soft for it all. you teared up after reading the lyrics (i would too). 

MINGI - THE LAKES

mingi is actually a private person, who often indulges in side quests from his main story as an idol. he tries to do whatever he wants while avoiding the media, not finding it necessary to share every aspect of his personal life unless he decides to. because of this, sometimes he feels like he “doesn’t fit” with the rest of the idols, i mean, if you don’t want attention why become one in the first place? 

mingi knew it was controversial, yet he hoped his fans would understand. at least, he knew you did, often supporting his decision of randomly taking off to some random place whenever he had a break. he liked bringing you with him in said trips, not only because you’re his lover and favorite person, but also because you inspire him in more ways than you can imagine. you’re his muse, the only person who can inspire him to make a thousand different songs about one single thing. he could pull out a ten minute song about the way your eyes looked under the sunlight, or how dark they seemed after a heated kiss. or about how easy it was for you to make him smile, even after having a rough day. or how tempting your lips looked after applying gloss, or after waking up in the morning after an intense night of lovemaking. 

mingi could hear the sound of your giggles as you excitedly talked to your friend on the phone, about the upcoming trip he had planned for you two now that he’s on a break after touring. “no, i don’t know where exactly he is taking me, but isn’t that exciting? i just know the weather is going to be hot during the day so i’m packing light” you said as he entered the room. you were throwing clothes all over the bed, matching them and making outfits for the week. “oh hi love!” you said when you saw him. “mingi please tell me where you’re taking my friend, i’m dying to know!” your friend exclaimed on the phone, earning a chuckle from both of you. “no way, it’s a surprise for a reason”. 

mingi took your hand, leading you towards the lake by the cabin he rented for the week. the sun was setting in, painting the whole scenery in a golden color, and the breeze was light, merely messing your hair. the wet grass under your bare feet tickled. “it’s so pretty mingi! definitely worth the suspense” you said, leaning on him as he wrapped his arm around you, bringing you closer to kiss your forehead. 

you admired the view, while he admired you, his one and only muse, the one who will always inspire him. his patience was growing thin though, he just couldn’t wait to give you the small piece of jewelry that had been resting in his pocket for a month now. 

WOOYOUNG - I CAN SEE YOU

wooyoung watched you from across the hallway, as you took pictures with the members of your group by the stairs. for a moment, your eyes interlocked before you quickly averted your gaze, a soft blush quickly making its way to your cheeks. truth is, wooyoung has been obsessed with you ever since you met at a variety show. always so quick to continue his jokes, with that contagious laugh of yours and your charismatic aura. how your personality remained the same even after the cameras stopped rolling, walking up to him and indulging him in an entertaining conversation. 

wooyoung’s gaze followed your every move on the stage you were performing at, quickly becoming enamoured with the way your body moved to the beat of the song and the way your voice hit the high notes perfectly. despite the professional scene, he still felt sinful from the way he couldn’t stop himself from imagining you squirming underneath him while your melodic voice begged him for more. that was, until you caught his hungry gaze and smirked. in that moment, he knew he had to have you, professionalism be damned. 

wooyoung’s lips found yours as soon as he dragged you inside the usual empty room at the very back of the hallway. he managed to pin you against the wall while simultaneously locking the door, making sure the little affair you had been having for three months remained a secret. “i missed you wooyoung” you said in between kisses, pulling him closer to your body by the tie around his neck, as his hands traveled all the way to your ass. “me too” he muttered, before suppressing a moan when you pulled his hair lightly. 

wooyoung was having trouble keeping quiet, you just felt so perfect for him, so addictive. “w-wooyoung keep quiet, we were a- fuck- almost discovered by my manager last time” you managed to say in between moans and gasps. “and who’s fault was that, baby?” he counter-attacked, before biting your neck trying to muffle the sounds he was making. as if it was muscle memory, you threw his jacket on the floor and started working on the buttons on his shirt. “besides”, he started saying “it’s more fun this way, no?”. 

wooyoung’s lips traveled from your neck down to your collarbones and chest, as his own hands copied your actions from moments ago, undoing the complex top in which you performed. his lips kept going down, lower and lower, tickling your stomach and sides as your lower part burnt for him to touch you more. how ironic, as you had shushed him moments ago, now it was your turn to struggle with keeping quiet. wooyoung’s experienced hands started pulling down your pants along with your underwear, licking his lips as he admired the view. “i think this is fun” he muttered, before pressing a short but wet kiss where you needed him the most, “hiding away, the secrecy of it all-” another kiss. “the discreet glances-” lick. “it makes me want you even more”, he finished, before diving deeper.

JONGHO - SO IT GOES

jongho’s eyes landed on you the moment you entered the bar where your mutual friends decided to gather to celebrate the “moving voices” project. after working hard on each song you all performed around different cities, it was finally time to relax for a little bit.

jongho’s relationship with you was rather… complicated. he understood that both of you had responsibilities in your own respective groups, so most of the time everything was handled proffessionally. but sometimes, late at night as you both met up in the studio to rehearse a song you’ll be performing together, every line and boundary became a blur. neither of you knew who leaned in first, nor how you both ended up on the studio’s worn out couch moaning each other’s name as if it was part of the song and nothing else mattered.

jongho’s thoughts had been scrambled ever since, always hoping to whisk you away and make you his again and again. at such longing, he found his heart skipping when you’re gone. but it also skipped in your presence, specially when you sat so close to him he could smell your perfume.

jongho mentally counted every minute of the hour and a half that you spent at the bar, along with the number of times another guy made you laugh or blush. he found himself gritting his teeth and surpressing an immediately eye roll, covering it up with a sip from his drink and acting chill about it. hell, even hongjoong managed to get under his skin at some point, after making you blush by complimenting your voice throughout the project. after an hour and a half, he felt like he had enough. he placed his hand on your thigh, squeezing slightly in order to get your attention, and interlocked eyes. you seemed to understand what he wanted, because you fakingly started yawning and pretending you were tired from the day.

jongho offered to take you home, making all eyes fall on him. then you. and finally, his hand on your thigh. he noticed his captain surpress a chuckle, seeing right through the whole act. whether the others saw it too or not, he did not care, as you both said your goodbyes and left the bar.

jongho pressed you against the wall, his leg placed right between your legs as his thigh flexed against where you needed him the most. his lips never left yours since the second you entered your home, but as soon as a delicious moan left your lips, he lifted up his gaze and noticed the smudged lipstick you were wearing. he was sure it covered his face too, and couldn’t help but smirk at the sight.

jongho’s hands were placed on both sides of your hips, rocking you back and forth against his thigh, while managing to balance you against the wall. your moans only got louder as you felt a burning sensation on your lower stomach, and he genuinely thought that he could live like this forever. despite having been intimate not for too long, he quickly found out about the things you liked and didn’t, and he was surprised that you had the same understandment of him. it was like you both fit each other, like pieces falling right into place whenever you were together.

jongho wasn’t sure what this meant, nor where your relationship was headed, but he was ready to give himself entirely to you, he was ready to be yours to keep or lose.

AvA/AvM AU Generator!

I've really enjoyed using this for myself because it's like a fun little creative challenge to try and piece everything together so I decided to share this with all of you!

How to use:

Basically, all you have to do is get a random number generator and set the values next to each list, then randomize numbers until you have at least one number for each category you would like to include! Simple. Characters - generally works best with 2-5 characters, but any amount is allowed. The Relationship Generator can help you get ideas on how the characters interact in this AU.

Space Knife

When Jonathan visits Lonnie we see a music video playing in the background...

The video?

This song is actually not a song from the 1980s but it was created in 2010. The lyrics are very much related to Will's disappearance though.

For some reason, I can't find the exact lyrics from the music video but these ones instead:

These lyrics are quite fitting too but they're not the same ones as the video...

The mention of "burning"

"sacrificial deer" and lion...

the gate of our love... lovers meeting at a gate is commonly referenced... see post here

Space = the Upside Down

There are several nods to "Space Knife" throughout the show as well.

"Quest for the Space Knife" is not a real game! This was created for the show itself.

In it, we see an astronaut (Will) fighting a monster (the Demogorgon) with "fireball".

Anyway, this just further connects Lonnie with Will's disappearance.

Wonderland -Prolouge

Hi! This has been a brain worm for like a year now. This is a series where it's like a choose your own adventure. I have a story line thay stems from this song for each Link (minus Wind).

I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL POST THE REST BUT I WILL (I'LL probably start posting towards the end of how to fall in love twice)

Pairing: Chain x reader

Rating:G

Summery: you reminisce on your time eith your ex lover. Some good, some bad.

Warnings: This is a song fic, it has the lyrics in italics.

Other: You don't need to read this to enjoy the rest of the series.

-------

Flashing lights and we took a wrong turn, and we fell down the rabbit hole. You held on tight to me 'Cause nothing's as it seems spinning out of control

Eveyrtime you fell through a portal it was like all the air was sucked out of your body and you were mixed around like scrambled eggs.

The way your head spins after it is entirely too ingrained into your memory. You still get nauseous at the very thought.

When they opened under you the one time you screamed as you grabbed onto your beloved hero, gripping his hand like a lifeline.

He let out a shout of surprise as the ground leaves him but his grip on you was strong even after the world stopped spinning.

The gentle way he made sure you were okay afterwards will never leave you.

Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your bright eyes at me? Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?

You can remember all your elders warning you not to rush into life, love, or danger. You didn't listen.

You took on Ganon in place of your at the time three year old brother. Then again three years later. Without any hesitation.

You tried not to rush into romance, but then he showed up. Kind, courageous, and someone who understands your history.

He pulled you into his gravity with nothing but a smile or smirk and his eyes flashing bright with joy.

He was curious, always asking about you and your history. His questions giving you hope.

But curiosity always leads to things you don't wanna know. Like the girl he's probably dating or going to date.

Ooh didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me. I should've slept with one eye opened at night

Your first date was exhilarating. He'd taken you to a festival where you all danced for hours. It was beautiful and loud and just like him.

The way his arms wrapped around you made you feel so safe and cared for. Gentle but strong and warm.

The sway of your dance made you giddy as you laughed at his jokes.

If you'd been more aware of things- it would all hurt so much to think about now.

We found wonderland, you and I got lost in it, and we pretended it could last forever, eh. We found wonderland, You and I got lost in it, and life was never worse but never better, eh

You remember nights spent with a shared watch shift, cuddled up by the fire as you talk about anything and everything that can be talked about.

It was too easy, falling into a domestic routine. Checking on each other after fights. Patching each other up.

Giving small gifts. Gentle touches.

You would have given anything to make it last. You tried to believe that it could last.

And yeah… Everything was awful. You were being hunted down by some immortal godlike shadow. But also- you were happily in love!

So we went on our way too in love to think straight. All alone or so it seemed. But there were strangers watching, and whispers turned to talking, and talking turned to screams

You remember taking the quest on with a new found lightness. His hand in your's as you both ignored the monster attacks increasing.

You find yourself being watched by strangers everywhere you go, but you both think it's funny.

They are just jealous.

You remember the first argument you had though, the way your voices all raised. His, your's and everyone else's.

Ooh didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me. It's all fun and games, still somebody loses their mind

You remember how thrilling each first in your relationship was. How gentle he was with you even if it clashed with his mature. He cherished you.

How he held you after your nightmares. Arms around you feeling so secure.

It was exciting, planning a future where he was in it. He adored the plans you made with him. He told you so.

And it was al so fun- until the end. Until the last portal opened and you watched him leave you standing alone. The last to go through you had a break down.

Oh darling, we found wonderland, you and I got lost in it. And we pretended it could last forever, eh. We found wonderland, you and I got lost in it. And life was never worse but never better, eh

You spend hours remembering it all. The first touch, first kiss, the way he held your face in his hands.

His voice plays in your head too often. And you would rather not hear it. It hurts too much.

You remember his hands in yours as you watched the clouds and the stars alike roll slowly across the skies. It was perfect.

It was. Even when you were all attacked over and over. You always had his back and he had your's.

I reached for you, but you were gone. I knew I had to go back home. You searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had. And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad

You woke up the first morning after your return home only to reach for him to the other side of your bed. Your hand found sheets and it had been heart wrenching to remember he was thousands of years in the past.

You knew you couldn't stay with him. That your home needs you. That Hylia was not so kind to let you be happy together. And it still hurts

You wonder if he moved on? Did he have a family?

Selfishly, you hope he didn't. That he kept searching for traces of you.

[achillescomehome]

today on "which sleep token song can i make about patroclus and achilles": i present aqua regia.

definition of aqua regia: "a mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids. It is a highly corrosive liquid able to attack gold and other resistant substances"

in other words, is achilles the acid attacking the gold that is patroclus?

well, my love is an animal call cutting through the darkness, bouncing off the walls between teeth on a broken jaw following a blood trail, frothing at the maw

whose love is the animal call?

achilles?

or patroclus?

achilles is fated for more, for a grand ending (more on that later), and that ending isn't an easy thing to swallow. in fact, it is bitter and dark and bloodstained. he knows he is meant to be a hero, and he knows heroes don't get happy endings. ("Name one hero who was happy." "You can't." "I can't." "I know. They never let you be famous and happy.")

(yes, i am using tsoa quotes, thank u)

but he is so blinded by his determination for both, he verbally defies fate itself ("I'm going to be the first. Swear it." "Why me?" "Because you're the reason. Swear it.") and that is the moment his fate is sealed. that is the moment he seals patroclus' fate. his love is an animal call, because it is so narrow-minded and so self-determined it ignores any other possible ending. it believes itself invulnerable. it cuts through the darkness, patroclus' doubt.

or is the animal call patroclus' love, the love that controls one of the greatest warriors in history? is it patroclus' love that drove achilles to such heights, such depths, and sealed their fate? would achilles have descended into such a madness if it had been a different lover who died? would achilles have tried so hard to prove himself if it wasn't patroclus' gaze he was performing under?

or was it always both of them?

the blood trail is achilles' quest for glory. the blood trail is the pursuit of being aristos achaion. he is following it down, down, down into the madness that befalls every hero, and he frothing at the maw to prove himself different. to prove he can do things differently.

what was the definition of insanity again?

these days i'm a circuit board integrated hardware you cannot afford

achilles is a demigod. he has ichor running through his veins. patroclus may be a prince, but he is just a mortal. he could have left, he could have saved himself. but he chose to stay, he chose love. and achilles' arrogance, that only a half-god hero could afford, cost him his life. patroclus was never meant to "afford" achilles. was achilles always meant for someone of his status, or did the fates simply find perverse joy in matching two people together who would always end up causing each other's deaths? the perfect start to a perfect war putting down the roses, picking up the sword

achilles lets go of his boyhood, of the roses of innocence, to pick up the sword of arrogance. the sword of death that would indirectly deal the killing blow to the one he proclaimed to love the most.

or maybe love and death are not so different after all.

aqua regia aqua regia

is it only one of them that is the acid that can corrode gold? perhaps it's achilles, tarnishing and dragging patroclus down with him. or perhaps it's patroclus, taking his armour and riding out as him, knowing if he doesn't come back, achilles will break and doing it anyway.

or... perhaps it's both of them, one nitric and one hydrochloric acid, and the gold is their happy ending.

well, my past is a holy book a call from olympus, ringing off the hook

these lyrics feel pretty self evident.

but perhaps the greatest grief here is that achilles was always destined for this. he was always destined to bleed on the battlefield, his heart in the cold hands of one already long gone.

anyway, i am sick and need to sleep so i hope this is somewhat coherent lmao

Slow Dance With Me? | n.r. x w.m.

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x Wanda Maximoff

Warnings: fluff, smut, blow job, natasha has an enchanted strap on (courtesy of Wanda ofc), breeding kink, pregnancy scare-ish

Word count: 3,782

Summary: this is based on the request "Wanda and Natasha dancing to that Filipino song, Mabagal. Wanda not understanding the lyrics so Natasha whispers her the translation (cus homegirl probably knows a lot of languages)😩🫶😭🤌"

A/N: so uhhh I discovered that I sucked at translation because of this. But I added a little something at the end to somehow compensate for the lack of the end part of your request? @delulu-with-wandanat 👉👈🥺

╰┈➤ Masterlist

It was one of those rare days in the compound when none of them were away on missions. Wanda seized the opportunity to delve into American music, a quest to immerse herself further in the culture of her newfound home. Vision lent a hand in this musical discovery, assisting her in selecting vinyl records and even procuring the necessary equipment. Surprisingly, the android displayed an unexpected knack for online shopping, a talent that Wanda happily exploited, particularly since Vision discreetly charged their purchases to Stark's account. Given Stark's vast wealth, a missing hundred dollars or more would go unnoticed on his financial radar.

"Darling, there's no need to buy every single vinyl for each song you discover. We have Spotify and Apple Music for a reason; they make it easy to have these songs on your phone," Natasha chimed in, observing Wanda arranging her newly acquired records in the cabinet that Sam had thoughtfully purchased and was placed inside their shared room.

Wanda defended her latest online buying spree, "Steve was the one who suggested it. I simply followed his advice, love."

Natasha couldn't help but jest, "You do realise Steve is practically a living fossil. He was born from an era where the concept of downloading music online was unheard of."

"Tasha, please be kind to him. I'm planning to share my new purchases with Steve. They're classics, songs from his time. I'm sure he'll remember them," Wanda explained with sincerity as she contemplated playing one of the records to test it out.

The gentle melodies of the vinyl graced the room, carrying a slow, nostalgic tempo, the perfect soundtrack for an intimate dance between two lovers. Natasha immediately recognized the song and, with a hint of sadness, recalled, "I know this one. Steve used to play this song a lot. It reminds him of Peggy and the life they might have had if he hadn't been frozen in ice."

Wanda's heart sank upon hearing Natasha's words. It suddenly struck her that playing this song for Steve might evoke painful memories. She hesitated, "Maybe I shouldn't play it for him, then. I don't want to see him sad."

"Don't overthink it, baby. You know what, this song reminds of something I heard while I was on a mission in Asia," Natasha paused as she recalled the song. "FRIDAY, could you please play the song we were looking for yesterday?" Natasha requested from the AI, momentarily leaving Wanda perplexed. With a gentle smile, Natasha beckoned her lover closer.

"Come here, Princess. Will you dance with me?"

Wanda's heart swelled with affection as she nodded in agreement, deeply moved by Natasha's romantic gestures. In the two years that they had been together, she had come to understand that Natasha wasn't always one for being romantic through slow dancing. Wanda knows that dancing in general was a hard topic for Natasha especially with her past. But Wanda cherished every opportunity to indulge in Natasha's romantic side.

The sweet, melodic strains of "Mabagal" filled the room, and Natasha led Wanda into a slow, tender dance. Natasha's arms encircled Wanda's waist, while Wanda's found their place around Natasha's neck. As they swayed to the rhythm, the world outside faded away.

"What's the name of this song, Tash? It's in a different language," Wanda inquired, their bodies swaying to the unfamiliar tune.

Natasha smiled, her eyes dancing with fond memories. "It's a Filipino song. I heard it everywhere when I was in the Philippines, so I asked FRIDAY to find it and translate it for me."

"It's absolutely lovely, I adore it. But what's its meaning?" Wanda asked, her curiosity piqued.

Natasha's gaze softened and responded, "Well, the song translates to wanting to slow dance with your lover; however, the song is about taking things slowly and treasuring the current moment within a world that rushes by."

Wanda was deeply moved by the meaning of the song, and how she can relate to it. Starting their relationship had not been without its challenges. They had embarked on a path with little knowledge of what lay ahead, but they persevered, taking each day as it came and learning together. It was a reminder of how they had navigated the early stages of their relationship while the world continued to whirl around them at an unforgiving speed.

Lately, Natasha had been contemplating early retirement, the desire to build a settled life with Wanda growing stronger with each passing day. She reflected on the countless times where she almost lost her life, and the endless sacrifices that they had to make in order to restore peace. Now, she yearned for a peaceful future with the woman she loved, away from the chaos she had fought against for so long. Maybe they could discuss it once the time is right, after all, they are taking things slowly.

Natasha leaned in for a kiss on the lips and down to her neck which made Wanda melt at an instant and gave out a small moan. The spy's hands travelled downwards and firmly gripped Wanda's butt.

"Those vinys aren't only the ones I purchased online, you know?" Wanda said as they parted to catch their breaths.

"Oh yeah? You've got a surprise for me, baby doll?" Natasha continued her assault on Wanda's neck and sucked on her pulse points.

"Ahhh, yes, baby. You're so good to me." Wanda arched her neck, presenting it even more to the other woman. But she can't be distracted with Natasha's ministrations. "Oh god. Love, stop for a moment please"

Natasha indeed stopped and raised her brow at Wanda. "Okay. So what did you buy?"

"I bought a strap on."

Well, that left Natasha speechless and shocked. "What? Did Vision help you on that as well? Does he know about this?" She can't imagine how the android would think of this situation.

"No, no! Vision has no idea about this. I bought this on my own. I swear!" Wanda was quick to defend herself. Plus, she can't bring herself to reveal such information to the android.

"What gave you the idea to buy that toy?" Natasha inquired with her brow raised at Wanda.

"I found one in your closet. It seems you've used it with your other girls before, and I won't allow you to use it on me. And I threw yours away." Her words carried a hint of discomfort and insecurity knowing Natasha's history, it made her uneasy about the prospect of the very same toy being used on her.

"First of all, I don't even plan on using that on you. And secondly, I purchased one myself. It's on the bedside drawer. But I'd rather see what you bought. So show me what you've got."

Wanda hurriedly went to her own side of the closet and retrieved the toy. "I've already washed it and it's ready to be used." The witch said it playfully and Natasha was impressed.

"Very well. We can test it out right now. Remove your clothes and lay on the bed. FRIDAY, keep on playing the song."

Seeing Wanda naked body is gotta be the 8th wonder of the world. Natasha has seen countless of nude women but nothing compares to the beauty that is currently lying on top of her bed. She admired the witch even more through her wandering hands. Flicking the erect nipples which elicited a moan from Wanda.

"Your nipples are so sensitive, baby girl. I want to touch them all the time and make you squirm in desperation." Natasha replaced her hand with her mouth and started sucking on Wanda's breast, constantly biting and nipping the nipple.

"Natasha, please."

"Hmm? What do you want?"

"Please fuck me with your cock." Wanda demanded. She can't stop thinking how Natasha will fuck her using the toy. She had already daydreamed about it, almost forgetting to check out her chosen items that she placed on her online cart.

"Such a desperate kitten. I never peg you to be a cock whore." Natasha continued to taunt the witch but complied with what Wanda wants. She removed her clothes and kneeled on the bed to secure the harness on her waist and adjusted the 7-inch dildo that was hanging proudly in her crotch.

"Why don't you suck my cock first before I fuck you, huh? Come on, Princess."

Wanda's mouth waters at Natasha's command and kneeled in front of the woman, with her ass in the air. She gave Natasha a playful wink before taking the dildo in her mouth slowly.

Natasha gasped the moment Wanda's tongue touched the head of the dildo, she could almost feel how warm Wanda's mouth was on the faux cock. She can't determine whether she's comfortable with this new found sensation or not. "Fucking hell, detka. What have you done?"

"I put a spell on it, baby. It will feel like a real cock is attached to you. Can you feel my tongue swirling around at the tip of your cock, Daddy?" Wanda looked up with her tongue out, teasing the pulsing head.

"Oh God. Yes." The spy groaned at the sight below her. Wanda is taking the whole length in her mouth expertly and she even hollowed her cheek in order to fully accommodate the member. Natasha can hear the obscene slurping sound of Wanda's wet and warm mouth as she sucked her cock, bobbing her head up and down. "Fuck, fuck! Wanda! Slow down!"

Wanda did not slow down her movements at all and aggressively sucked the cock like a starved animal. Natasha can already feel the tightening in her stomach. She grabbed a handful of Wanda's hair and started thrusting her hips. The head touched deep within Wanda's throat which made her gagged and drooled all over the toy. But Natasha didn't care, she continued her thrusts and then blurted out a series of russian curse words as she tried to control the overwhelming sensation in her groin. "Yes, yes! Just like that, Wanda. God, you're so good with that mouth of yours."

The room is filled with grunts coming from the widow and she leaned forward a bit to spank Wanda's ass. "Jesus Christ, baby. You're going to be the death of me. I'm going to cum in your mouth. Wanda!"

Within the next seconds, Wanda whimpered as the widow unloaded her cum inside of Wanda's throat which she happily swallowed.

"Did you like it, Natasha?" The witch surely looked so smug and so proud of herself at the moment. She was able to put Natasha in this blissed out state and she can't wait to do it over and over again.

"You and that magic of yours is something else, baby." This will definitely put their sex life on a whole different level and you will never find Natasha complaining. Some of Natasha's cum leaked from Wanda's mouth and she pushed them back in using her thumb. "Hmm. Lay back, let me take care of you now."

Natasha didn't even waste a second and devoured Wanda's breasts with fervent need. There's nothing she loves more than burying her face on Wanda's tits.

The sounds that Wanda are making are music to Natasha's ears which made her more eager in pleasing the witch. At this point, Wanda is more than ready to be fucked by the faux cock but Natasha want to prolong the foreplay.

"Daddy, please, please, please! I need you to fuck me." Natasha can hear the desperation on Wanda's voice and smirked at her lover's pent up state.

"Patience my love. I want to play with your pussy first." Two fingers dance around Wanda's slippery pussy, throbbing everytime Natasha touches her clit ever so lightly.

"Natasha! Stop teasing me, please!"

"Since you've been a good girl, I'll give you what you want." The widow lined up her cock on Wanda's dripping entrance. She made sure to tease Wanda's clit and to also lubricate the tip of the cock before entering her pussy slowly and gently.

"Ahhhhh. Yes, Daddy. You feel so good inside me." Wanda purred as she felt the fullness of Natasha's cock, almost kissing her cervix. "Please go faster."

Natasha's breath hitched when she felt Wanda's velvety walls around her and how it gripped her length in the most delicious way. She'll make sure to please Wanda in every way possible for creating such a spell for this toy. What an experience this is, her girlfriend is probably the most powerful avenger out there but she's here, casting spells to further spice up their sex lives.

Natasha can't get enough of the sight before her. Wanda's tits are bouncing and moaning from her powerful thrusts. "Baby, you feel so around me. I will ruin your pussy. You hear me?"

"Yes, daddy!"

The bed was squeaking due to Natasha's brutal pounding, making Wanda's eyes roll back at her head. Wanda's back is arching and Natasha had to gripped her waist to hold her down and to seat a perfect rythm.

Natasha then gathered both Wanda legs and put them on each side of her shoulder that way, she can penetrate deeper. "Wanda, baby. You're clenching around me so much. I love it."

This new position is reaching places she thought never existed inside her and damn, she can feel the coil in her stomach, ready to snap at any moment. "My love, I'm going to cum! Plase fuck me harder!"

Ofcourse Natasha obliged Wanda's demands as she can also feel herself being close. "I'm going to cum inside you, okay? You'll be my little cumrag. Would you like that, huh?

"Do whatever you want with me, Daddy! Ahhh! I'm cumm— nghh!"

"Shit, shit. Wanda!'

Both women shared their orgasm in perfect unison, panting heavily after their release. Natasha had to pull out so she could lay down beside Wanda.

"Natasha, you're amazing. Oh my god." Wanda immediately wrapped her arm around Natasha and gave her so many kisses on the face.

"No, baby. You're amazing! Wherever did you learn how to enchant your toy, huh?" Natasha teased Wanda. She was curious as well on how her little witch learned such a thing. As far as she knows, she's been visiting Dr. Strange in order for her to fully grasp and wield her power.

"A lady never tells." Wanda giggled and hid her face at the crook of Natasha's neck.

Natasha sighed and did not push the brunette further. "Alright, keep your secrets then."

"Can you fuck me while you're wearing your suit, love?" Wanda challenged the other woman with a grin on her face.

"You became a demanding vixen now, huh? On your fours, you slut."

About a month had passed, and Tony Stark found himself sinking into a state of boredom. It might sound unbelievable, but he had exhausted every possible task. He recalibrated Sam's wings to ensure more efficient flying, boosted the power of Natasha's widow bites, and completed the design for Wanda's suit.

In search of a diversion, he decided to dive into the Avengers' financial history. To his relief, most of them were responsible with their expenses, except for Natasha, who had a penchant for acquiring motorcycle parts for her upgrades. Tony didn't mind their spending habits as long as they remained within legal boundaries.

However, his curiosity was piqued when he came across a recent payment in Wanda's records. It was a charge to the New York hospital, amounting to $200 for an obstetrician's services and an additional $100 for an ultrasound. Tony's mind began to race with questions. Was Wanda pregnant? And if so, how could that be possible when Natasha is her partner? Could they have both sought a donor and undergone in vitro fertilization? A thorough investigation of Wanda's financial records yielded no clues about any pregnancy-related procedures, leaving Tony utterly perplexed.

Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, he summoned Vision to his lab. The android, he noticed, had taken to wearing regular clothes, abandoning his traditional cape, after Wanda playfully chided him for it. She believed that dressing like a human would make him blend in better, and Vision had taken her advice to heart.

"You called for me, Mister Stark?" Vision inquired, his attire emphasising his commitment to appearing more human.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about Wanda recently, like experiencing occasional nausea or when she doesn't like certain smells?"

"I'm not quite sure what you mean, Sir. Wanda appears to be in good health. She maintains a nutritious diet, and her training with Captain Rogers and Agent Romanoff is progressing smoothly." Tony realised that questioning the android about human behavior might not be very productive.

"Well, I did some digging into her financial records, and it turns out she had an ultrasound. Our witch might be preggo."

Vision, curious but still learning about human reproduction, responded, "I've familiarised myself with human anatomy, but how could this be possible when Natasha is her partner? Two women can't naturally conceive a child, can they?"

Tony contemplated the situation and decided on a course of action. "One way to get answers is to speak to the person responsible for this pregnancy. FRIDAY, can you locate Natasha for us?"

"Agent Romanoff is currently in the common area with Miss Belova."

"Perfect. Let's head down there and question Romanoff." Tony and Vision made their way to the common area, determined to uncover the truth about Wanda.

***

After a demanding training session, the two widows had relocated from the common area to the kitchen to whip up a snack and refuel.

"Training with Captain Tight-ass is a lot more fun than with you, sestra," Yelena teased Natasha, her sister's training regimen being famously gruelling and somewhat inhumane, without even granting her a break after an exhausting hand-to-hand combat sequence.

"Admit that I beat you out there; you're getting soft and—"

Natasha's retort was abruptly cut short as Tony and Vision made their unannounced entrance.

"There she is, our soon-to-be mother. Oh! Are you preparing Wanda's cravings?" Tony asked, his tone laced with curiosity and a hint of exasperation

With one hand on her hip, the other clutching a wooden spoon, Natasha gave a puzzled look and responded, "What on Earth are you talking about, Stark?"

"Well, I'm just asking about the bun in Wanda's oven," Tony bluntly stated, clearly not one to beat around the bush.

Yelena stood up, a mix of shock and disbelief on her face. "What the fuck, Natasha! Is Wanda pregnant?"

Natasha, growing increasingly impatient, demanded, "Both of you, shut up! How could Wanda be pregnant?" She didn't even know it was possible unless Wanda's recent spell could manifest this somehow?

Tony couldn't help but relish the unfolding drama. "Wow, Mommy Natasha is completely unaware that her girlfriend might be pregnant. This is getting better and better by the second!"

Vision, attempting to contribute his observations, raised a finger and started, "I have overheard Wanda's cries at night, and it seems like she and Natasha are—"

Natasha issued a stern warning to Vision, her patience wearing thin. "I swear to God, Vision, say one more word, and you'll find yourself disassembled!"

"FRIDAY, please request Wanda's presence in the kitchen." Yelena prompted the AI. The day was quickly spiralling into chaos, and Natasha needed to know whether Wanda was truly pregnant or not.

A few minutes had passed when Wanda finally arrived, her senses instantly tingling with the weird atmosphere in the kitchen. "Uhm, what's happening here?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued.

Natasha, wasting no time, approached Wanda directly and cut right to the chase, "Are you pregnant?"

Wanda, taken aback, responded with confusion, "What? Where did you get that idea?"

Tony took it upon himself to answer Wanda's question. "I did some digging into everyone's financial history, and I noticed a payment made at the New York hospital just three days ago. It was for an obstetrician and an ultrasound. Care to explain that?"

Wanda sighed deeply, a gesture that left Natasha on edge. They were all too aware that the full extent of Wanda's powers remained a mystery, and the possibility of her using magic to become pregnant was entirely possible.

"I helped a lady at the hospital because her card was declined and she needed to pay her bills. So I volunteered to pay for her expenses," Wanda began, recounting the events of that fateful day. The distressed lady had faced an issue with her payment, and Wanda, with her compassionate nature, had stepped in to assist. She locked eyes with Natasha and emphasised, "I am not pregnant, okay?"

A collective sigh of relief swept through the kitchen's occupants, their tension dissipating.

Natasha, her hand resting on her chest, couldn't help but react as she approached Wanda, "You almost gave me a heart attack there, baby. Jesus Christ." The idea of motherhood had always been a daunting prospect for her especially with her past but this incident sparked the possibility of discussing the notion of starting a family together.

"I'm sorry for the scare, Nat," Wanda said, a sly grin spreading across her face. Natasha couldn't help but wish she could wipe the smirk off her lover's face.

Just as the tension in the kitchen seemed to be easing, Steve and Sam entered the scene, catching wind of the situation. Steve, always the inquisitive one, inquired, "What's going on here, guys?"

Tony, quick to provide an update, responded, "We thought our witchy was pregnant, but it turned out she's not. End of story."

Steve, with a mischievous glint in his eye, decided to tease Natasha further, "Natasha, can you be more responsible?"

In response, Natasha shot back, "Mind your own business, Rogers," her retort laden with a playful yet slightly exasperated tone.

After a while, the boys decided to also prepare their respective snacks, and when Natasha was plating their food, Wanda leaned in and whispered to Natasha, "I discovered a song today. I like it so much. I want to share it with you."

"Oh yeah? What is it?" Natasha asked with genuine curiosity and the curiosity indeed killed the cat right after Wanda ordered the AI to play the said song.

The sound system came to life, filling the room with a playful, infectious beat. Natasha was just getting comfortable and was even bobbing her head, but her relaxation was cut off immediately. The lyrics of the song struck her like a lightning bolt, almost giving her the second heart attack of the day when Wanda began rapping them. "Oh God, no."

"Yeah, you fucking with some wet ass pussy

Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass pussy

Give me everything you got for this wet ass pussy!"

The pair-ent trap part 2

“Awesome twosome we will be”

I recently made a post about how Taylor Swift's sixteen albums all create two halves of a pair, just like the iconic photo scene from the 1998 version of the parent trap. In the process I found that I wanted to branch off into several different directions at once, so to help stay on track this will be a series of posts inspired by the parent trap.

One + one = two

To begin with, it’s helpful to understand that the 1998 version of the parent trap is actually based on the original 1961 movie featuring Susan and Sharon. They both have the same storyline, but each one varies slightly based on the decade they were created in. The folklore and evermore albums were designed to highlight the pattern of pairs, but it quickly becomes apparent that the complexity of the connections extends beyond just individual pairings. To help explain how this intersectionality unfolds it’s helpful to compare the album pairs to both the midnights album variants as well as the UNO flip deck of cards featured at Quest Love’s game nights. This 1+1=2 combination is reminiscent of cassette tapes, where each side plays two halves of an album.

Two + two = four

Sharon and Susan discover that they are sisters when they both get sent to the same summer camp, switch places so they can meet their other parent and plan to meet up again so that their parents can reunite. This create four main characters, each with individual relationships with one another. The 2+2=4 combination is just like how the back covers of the midnights vinyl variants form a clock and the original version of the UNO deck that is made up of four classic colours.

Four + four = eight

And now when you combine the older and newer version of the parent trap you get eight main characters who are all a part of the same overarching story. This 4+4=8 combination mimics the midnights vinyl variants and the UNO flip deck having two contrasting sides that share the same story.

Eight + eight = sixteen

Seeing how all of these elements intersect helps to see the bigger picture. There’s the fantasy and reality of folklore and folkmore. The highs and lows of speak now and the tortured poets department. The familiarity and newness of red and 1989. And the beginnings and endings of debut/reputation and lover/midnights. From each individual album to Taylor’s discography as a whole, the combination of the light and dark sides are a reflection of her story.

The wild cards

Seeing Taylor's discography laid out like this makes it feel like the era of eras is almost complete, especially with the final leg of the eras tour coming up. But what’s going to be the catalyst for everyone to scour the lyrics looking for answers like the TTPD summation suggested? The wild cards. It's possible Taylor could release a debutation style country album with around one hundred new songs. If other forms of media are designed to be in pairs too, there's a few that we're still missing. There could be a sequel to the Miss Americana documentary titled the Heartbreak Prince. Or perhaps a sequel to the folklore long pond studio sessions for the evermore album. Maybe we'll learn about the real identity of William Bowery. And then there's the possibility of an addition to the eras tour to showcase the tortured poets department set. Personally, I'm torn between anticipating an incredibly overwhelming amount of new content or nothing at all.

The tortured poets department summation marked the point in a round of UNO where Taylor had played the second last card in her hand and called out "UNO!" to announce that the game is almost over. Whatever comes next is going to be Taylor's version of saying "game over" to end this chapter of her life to be able to move forwards. And there's only one colour left before the rainbow is complete. 🧡

To be continued...

A tortured poet,

From this post!

How many fics have you worked on since January? 12, not counting snippets I've started and not finished. (I posted 299,668 words, which is so painfully close to 300K. Should've been less concise somewhere...)

What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? I had never written a wandering heart story before, and I'd never posted two stories with overlapping timelines in conjunction with each other. I'd never written an ace romance. I'd never written a four-person polycule. I'd also never turned anyone into a worm.

What piece of media inspired you the most? (This can be the fandom you wrote the most for, the one that spawned the most ideas, the one you thought about the most, etc.) I would have to say anonymous tumblr asks.

How many fandoms did you write for this year? Just the one!

What ships captured your heart? I wrote a lot of Jack/Nico this year and a lot of McDrai, and a lot of assorted others. I'm really enjoying the overlapping recent eras of USNTDP players and siblings.

What characters captured your heart? I just want Connor McDavid to be happy 😭

Did you write for any new fandoms or ships this year? So many new ships! Roope/Wyatt, Jamie Benn/Joe Pavelski, Jack/Quinn, the Edmonton polycule, Macklin Celebrini/Will Smith.

What fic meant the most to you to write? Oh man, tough call. Maybe the one where Connor turns into a worm.

What fic made you feel the happiest to work on? Probably the Where You Lead 'verse fics. Writing sub perspective is just the best.

What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing? Probably Help Me Hold Onto You, the Trevor/Jamie WYL story. I had had so much of it in my head for months by the time I started writing it, and the fic itself was such a long journey.

What fic was the most difficult to write? Like a Handprint on My Heart, the Jamie Benn wandering heart story. I made Jamie waaaay too depressed in the first draft and had to tear it all out and start again.

What fic was the easiest to write? The Great Leon Draisaitl Lookalike competition. Practically that entire story came to me in the shower, and then I wrote it in a single morning.

What were your shortest and longest fics posted this year? The Great Leon Draisaitl Lookalike Competition was the shortest at 2,092 words. Help Me Hold Onto You was the longest at 75,926 (though the Quinn wolfverse story will almost definitely be longer than that when it's all posted).

What were your go-to writing songs? I don't usually listen to music while writing, but I did get into Gracie Abrams and Maisie Peters and Olivia Rodrigo this year.

What was the hardest fic to title? Titling is the WORST. I either have a great title from the start, or it's a nigh-on impossible quest. The Hughescest story and the 1988 wolfverse timestamp were both posted around the same time and I had titles for neither of them, and then the titles I found were annoyingly similar to each other (What a Fire Feels Like and And His Heart Is Burning). Kinda Wanna Kiss Your Boyfriend (If You Don't Mind) was hard to find and required a lot of discord brainstorming. And I spent a while agonizing over various possibilities for the Jack wolfverse story, Like Juliet or Guinevere or Eloise, because I wanted to use a Marianne quote from the Sense and Sensibility movie but I also didn't want people to think Jack was going to die. 😅

What's your favorite title of the year? I'm really fond of But the Punchline Goes, from the Roope/Wyatt soulmate story, because I think it fits the story on its own and it also has the delightful (to me) easter egg of being the lyric from All Too Well right before Taylor snaps back at her ex about their age difference ("I'll get older but your lovers stay my age"), which was very relevant to the fic. I also really like Proof Enough of a Broken Heart, because Quinn is SUCH an Elinor Dashwood.

Share your favorite opening line: I tend to use opening lines as sort of...preliminary thesis statements? Things to be disproven? Something like that. So most of them contain a big chunk of the story premise but aren't necessarily all that punchy on their own. My favorite is probably from the Will/Mack story: "Mack finds out he’s pregnant in the usual way: from a blue stripe at the bottom of the toilet bowl." Totally confusing and a piece of worldbuilding I continue to be delighted with.

Share your favorite ending line: How dare you make me look at the last lines from all my stories. Last lines are the worst.

Share your favorite piece of dialogue: Don't know if it's my favorite, but what's coming to mind is Mitch and Dylan at the end of The Great Leon Draisaitl Lookalike competition, after Dylan has successfully set Connor up with this guy who is totally not just actual Leon Draisaitl, nope. Dylan is congratulating himself on finding such a good lookalike, and Mitch is like, “You used to play in the pacific division, right?” “Yeah, why?” says Dylan. “No reason,” says Mitch.

Share your funniest line: Woof. No, that's way too hard.

What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story? I was super surprised by how intensely piney the ace!Quinn/Brady fic got. I thought my ability to write pining was powered to a large extent by sexual tension, and it turns out that was not true.

What writing programs did you use? Did you write by hand? Scrivener, baby! Hahaha I would not be able to write this much by hand.

If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year? Moment? Sheesh. I don't know, writing is a pretty satisfying activity in general.

Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing a fic? Posting feels like enough of a celebration for me.

How did you recharge between fics? I don't, really. By the time I finish posting a long thing, I've spent so much time editing that getting to start drafting again is refreshing in itself, and short things don't really require a recharge.

Did you create fanworks other than fic? Not unless you count responding to tumblr asks.

How many events did you take part in? (bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, they all count!) Lol, I think just the HRPF CestFest. Though a lot of my stories were prompted, directly or not, by people on tumblr.

If this were an awards show, who would you thank? My wee hrpf discord. makeit-takeit. My irl bff who gets to hear all my story ideas in great detail despite not being into hrpf. My husband who thinks it's great and not ridiculous that I spend all this time writing.

What's left on your to-do list for 2024? Not much, fortunately, since it's over.

What would you like to write next year? Ah, the most important question! I of course want to finish the Quinn and Jack wolfverse stories, which is more about editing at this point. I have 2-10K written on no fewer than four different Where You Lead 'verse stories, and I'd really like to finish at least some of them (::cough:: Connor ::cough::). I'd also maybe like to start wolfverse stories for Trevor and Cole; I have somewhat specific plans for Trevor, and some vague notions for Cole. Aside from that, who knows? Maybe more WillMack, maybe some Nate/someone (Jo???). There are a lot of other couples I've been meaning to add to the wolfverse (gotta add TK/Patty to at least ONE of my 'verses). I've had a psychic wolf companions McDrai story bouncing around in my head for a while. Would still love to write a Persuasion AU (maybe that's the Nate/Jo). A Cyrano de Bergerac AU would also be fun, maybe via tindr. So many possibilities!!
