#Mirror Image AU Q&As

[a-vivid-dreamer]

Hiiii!!! So, after spoiling myself by watching some of the cutscenes for the new 2.2 update, I would like to ask these questions to you:

1. Were there any moments that both Qingyan and Ashim almost killed their respective hosts?

2. Will Yanqing, Misha, Qingyan and Ashim will all assist in fighting the bosses in the AU? Like Sam/Firefly, the Memory Zone meme boss, Aventurine, the new past present enternal show trio boss and the new Harmonious choir boss?

3. How would Yanqing, Misha, Qingyan and Ashim react to Firefly's "Death"? And if they were in that one sence where Sam revealed to be Firefly herself, what would their reaction be?

4. After Firefly's "death", how will the 4 comfort the Trailblazer after thinking they loss her?

5. I really like the fact that Yanqing/Qingyan's strand of hair literally moves according to their mood, I wonder if the Trailblazer and other few people (besides Ashim) would tease the two for that. 😂

6. This question is not really for the Mirror Image AU, however, do actually play Honkai: Star Rail? If so, who do you main? How many 5 stars do you have and who are they? I currently main Kafka and I have 13 in total so far. And also I have both Misha and Yanqing and I made specifically a team just for the two called " The Icey sillies" 😋

Again, I hope it's not too much of a bother for you to answer it all.

You’re good!

1. Qingyan, yes. Ahsim, nope.

2. There will definitely be involvement with the Memory Zone Meme and the final boss of the story at the least. Tho details of the circumstances won’t be shared for now.

3. & 4. They were not there to witness Firefly’s “death” and were not present for her reveals either.

5. I guess it depends, haha. Jing Yuan and Gallagher have definitely made some comments. Trailblazer probably the type to say some things too.

6. I’ve been playing HSR since its launch. And I guess I technically main Luocha? Though, he’s just an amazing healer and I can’t leave him out of my teams, haha. His auto healing and stuff spoils me. Kinda hard to determine unit maining when everyone is important and I switch characters around depending on whoever is my current powerful character for clearing the normal content (atm it’s Acheron focused since her technique makes life so much easier).

At the moment I own twenty 5*s (counting Trailblazer). They’re:

MC: Trailblazer

Standard: Yanqing, Gepard, Himeko, Bailu, Welt, Clara, Bronya

Limited: Topaz, Acheron, Blackswan, Sparkle, Ratio, Huohuo, Dan Heng IL, Jingliu, Blade, Jing Yuan, Luocha, Kafka

[slimepuparibaba]

Q: Hey, so when you say Mei (Caleb's MC) is just as bad as Caleb, how bad do you mean?

A:

(I'm working on the anecdotes for an AU where each LI has an MC. Their MCs are basically like mirror images of the guys and uhhhhhhhh yeah Mei is probably the most unstable :,))

Paintings for Mosaic Haiku, Chapter 2 by EliotQueliot

art || the magicians (tv) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || creator chose not to use warnings || complete

summary: I’ve created watercolor paintings for all six scenes in Chapter 2. I try to add a little something to each scene that might be different than the original–something in keeping with the totality of what we know and believe about Queliot in our hearts. It might just be a chance to see some details more clearly, with more detail, color, or light; it might be slightly more interaction between the characters, such as a hand on a shoulder, which was placed there later in the same scene; or it might be a chance to glimpse a little more of their faces than is shown in any one shot (because on the show we get the full range of motion and their tone of voice to add clues, as well as what we know about them; so a moment is always more than just a single frozen image, and I’ve tried to reflect that where I can).

Meus ex Machina by edupunkn00b

fiction || sanders sides || platonic or familial, m/m || logan/remus, janus/oc orange side(lucas) || teen & up || no major warnings apply || 55,619 || complete

summary: Last century, the first Powered child was born. A frail, squalling infant with skin that burned to the touch and eyes that seemed to read your every thought, it was abandoned at the hospital.

Three years later, another was born. Then another. And another. Within a generation, most hospitals delivered more Powered children than powerless. The world turned on its head and the circuits were filled with advertisements for augmentation or that one weird trick to ensure your child was born gifted.

But veneration turned to fear and those powered children who were not cast out were raised to serve the needs of the strongest voices in their communities, whether corporate or military.

Four Powereds said ‘no more’ and broke away to find their own way to serve—and maybe even save—the world.

Until one day, a Powerless dropped down into their midst, scarred and broken, but armed with steel and hungry for vengeance. Was there a place for him in the world they sought to build?

And did he have the power to save one of their own?

“Yeah, alright,” Sun Xiang said automatically. She watched Tang Rou stroll off, hips swaying cockily, and then shook her head. Weird. She and Tang Rou weren’t friends—what could there be to catch up about?

SO OK FILO HS AU. I JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT TOO CLEAR IN THIS ART PIECE BIT IT'S FILO

I based most of these on my experience or mfs from my class so bare with me

They all around grade 10/11 idk

Quackity is the cunning vice president (or president) of section Nevadas. He is a class clown but teachers know he is reliable. Top of the class 💯💯💯💯

Sapnap is a basketball player from the other section, kinoko, he is popular bitch rawr. He is considered a heartthrob in school because him ❤️❤️❤️

Karl is the rich kid in class. President of Kinoko section. Also considered a heartthrob- he's more like a softboy type of beat if you get what I mean.

They are those mfs who does sus things but for some reason these three mfs mostly do it to each other

they go on little street food dates. They steal food from each other. Sit together at lunch (occasionally w/ dream and george)

when anyone else tries to flirt with them they just go "pfft i already have someone" and they wouldn't make it clear who so everyone is like????? what the fuck???? srs or j????

until eventually it developed to actual affection, confessed to each other and end up together but decided not to announce it to anyone so they can mess with everyone-- and their classmates dont know if they are slash j or slash srs

they say something so sus and go "right dude? (cishet tone)"

there are times that they ask to go the bathroom at the same time to sneak in little kisses heehee

they both sleep on sapnap's THUNDEROUS THIGHS during lunch breaks and shit

sapnap kissed both of them in front of George and said - nobody would believe him heehee (george didn't even remember he was just awoken by Sapnap while he was sleeping during lunch time his mind is literally fried)

- basically quackity SCORED BITCHES and he is flexing it on the art above ^^

[dovand]

what's your favorite star trek episode? any recommendations?

Hi, anon! *waves*

I’m gonna be honest with you: I have seen 3 episodes of this show.

Life has been hectic recently, so I got into the fandom through fic (which I find easier to consume than video). I’ve been watching TOS, but it’s slow going. Thusly (I love that word), I asked around, and here are some other people's recommendations:

“The Naked Time” (TOS S1E4), in which alien space goo makes everyone act drunk. Sulu tries to duel people shirtless. Spock sobs mathematically. Warning for attempted suicide.*

"Amok Time" (TOS S2E1), in which Spock goes into alien heat, cuts a titty window in Kirk's shirt and then wrestles in the sand with him. Y'know, like buddies! So much Spirk. So. Much. Spirk.

"Arena" (TOS S1E18) in which 'a superior alien race brings Captain Kirk in mortal combat against the reptilian captain of an alien ship he was pursuing.' ∆

"A Taste of Armageddon" (TOS S1E23), in which 'Kirk and Spock must save their ship's crew when they are declared all killed in action in a bizarre computer simulated war where the actual deaths must occur to continue.' ∆

"The City on the Edge of Forever" (TOS S1E28), in which 'a temporarily insane Dr. McCoy accidentally changes history and destroys his time, Kirk and Spock follow him to prevent the disaster, but the price to do so is high.' ∆ Also, Spock has a beanie!

"Mirror Mirror" (TOS S2E4), in which there are AU shenanigans. Also, Spock has a goatee.

"I, Mudd" (TOS S2E8), featuring 'the gregarious Harry Mudd, hundreds of duplicate androids, and a nice plot that involves our Enterprise crew – forced off their ship by the androids and held hostage on a planet – overloading a giant hive mind with illogic in order to free themselves.' (summary via startrek.com) Also, a Spock Gay Moment.

"The Trouble With Tribbles" (TOS S2E15), in which there are Creatures. They are small and fluffy and endlessly multiplying.

"Spock's Brain" (S3E1), in which 'the crew of the Enterprise pursues a mysterious woman who has abducted Spock's brain.' Has Spirk moments! Apparently includes this, as well:

"Spectre of the Gun" (TOS S3E6), in which 'the Melkot condemn Capt. Kirk and his landing party to the losing side of a surreal recreation of the 1881 historic gunfight at the OK Corral.' ∆

"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (TOS S3E15), 'the one with the infamous image of the two aliens, both whose faces are have black and half white, but because the colors are on opposite sides they hate each other'. (summary via a friend—thanks, Fox!)

You may notice this is mostly The Original Series—I asked in a TOS-centric server, which likely skewed the results. Sorry, anon! They seem to have also seen Deep Space Nine, but said, 'DS9 is hard, as it's much less episodic in nature and more stories are linked in larger arcs'. However, they have recommended these: "Trials and Tribble-ations", "Our Man Bashir", "Q-less", "Profit and Loss", "Through the Looking Glass", "The Die is Cast", "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?", "In the Pale Moonlight", "Take Me Out to the Holosuite", "Rejoined" (Dax kisses a woman!), and "If Wishes Were Horses" (Rumpelstiltskin is there, I guess? This sure is a show!).

*I have tried to include warnings where possible, but by virtue of not having seen these episodes, I don't know exactly what they each contain. I may have missed things.

∆ Summary via IMDb

I hope this list is satisfactory, anon! Enjoy your Trekking. LLAP <3

[jjkyaoi]

i’m surprised there’s not more ghost hunter!sbi au’s or just general paranormal!sbi au’s. anyway, take this.

(yes this is because i’ve been watching buzzfeed unsolved again recently, what about it)

wilbur’s the one with the main youtube channel, and before they started really doing paranormal shit it was mostly,,...,,, like his actual channel? just him doing dumb shit w/ his friends— yes he does play minecraft in this au. don’t ask me how he went from minecraft from hunting ghosts, it is something that none of us know.

techno’s the one who actually came up w/ the idea, because in the family he’s always been the one who’s been most obsessed w/ paranormal things, for a skeptic. he’s always constantly wanting to push the limits of things people aren’t sure actually  exists— he always wants to see how fast he can die when he fucks w/ things that are potentially dangerous, so he’s a dumbass, and he brought up the idea of ghosthunting to wilbur, who’s also  a dumbass & always accepts dumb ideas and plays them out, so of course  he says yes.

the first ever paranormal video they did was a livestream! it was basically just wilbur and techno exploring this old abandoned house in their neighborhood that had rumors of paranormal experiences, and trying (and failing) to find ghosts. it was mostly just them fucking around; just techno calling out and taunting the air, daring it do something, and wilbur laughing nervously and telling him to “shut the fuck up”  most of the time, but then eventually he’d get roped in and then it’d just end in w/ these dumbass twins just taunting the open air. ,,,,it didn’t go successfully. they didn’t find anything worth while, and they’d thought that’d be the end of it— that’d be the last paranormal video they’d ever make, but  it turned out that their viewers really  liked the concept & their general dynamic—the majority of them just liked techno, but shh—so they were like; “ykw,,,,why not. turn this into a thing” & then they did.

none of them are professionals. they’re sort of just taking the paranormal places they’d hear about at face-value and going there just to,,, scream and yell at open air?? eventually  they do get more ‘professional’ and actually get the correct equipment and they do  end up finding actual ghosts, but at first it’s laughable. take the whole ‘ghost hunters’ thing with fucking gallons  of salt

before the paranormal videos started coming out, wilbur only ever really told stories about his family to the viewers— wilbur’s fans hadn’t met the sleepy boi’s yet, so these entire series is just wilbur’s fans getting to know ‘em, basically. ,,,,techno is a fan-favorite

at first it’s just wilbur and techno doing the ghost hunting, and the fandom had gotten used to those two and their general,,, shenanigans?? but for awhile, there was this conspiracy about who was the camera guy, in their videos? there were these theory videos, circling phil’s blurry image holding the camera in mirrors that they passed by in the places they went, “#CameraManConspiracy” was trending for like,,,. so  long until wilbur and techno made a whole video revealing it and just went “oh yeah btw this is phil; he’s our dad and he records the videos so we don’t like. burn the places we go to down or somethin’”. everyone on the internet lost their fucking minds . phil actually showing up in one of their videos and talking was a pretty big demand for awhile until it actually happened, and ever since then he’s been known as dadza; the man who brings the camera and the common sense. (half the time, though, he’s just egging his son’s mischief on, but shh he’s the common sense).

tommy didn’t join their little group until like way, way later? in the paranormal videos he was just spoken about by phil, techno, and wilbur? he was more just an afterthought— just mentioned like ‘oh i bet tommy would hate this’ or ‘should i bring this home and show it to tommy?’ and everyone on the internet was like; ‘who the fuck is tommy’. he was one of the family members who’s arrival was like,,, really dragged out? the sleepy boi’s kept teasing him coming on, kept saying ‘well, he’ll come on eventually, when he wants to, be patient’ and for like months he did not ever show up, and the fandom theorized that tommy wasn’t even fucking real  for a decent amount of time until, finally, he showed up.

it was a Q&A video, actually, where he showed up— their first and their last. they’d gotten a question about tommy—well, they’d gotten millions, but they just answered one—and they did this whole dramatic pause, looking solemn and saying ‘yeah, you got us, tommy isn’t real —’ and then tommy immediately burst into the room, screaming at the top of his lungs, and ran at the camera. that’s where the video ended. on twitter for days there were blurry screenshots of tommy’s form and the hashtag “#HE’SREAL???” was number 3 for days. he’s been apart of their group ever since

out of all of ‘em, techno’s the one who’s constantly at the forefront of taunting the ghosts. amongst the fandom, he’s known as the one who isn’t human, because of the fact the motherfucker always does shit that would kill the regular person, but he always comes out unscathed— half of the fandom thinks he’s possessed. he’s either taunting the ghosts or pranking tommy just to scare the shit out of him—who, always falls for it, despite how much he denies it—either that or he’s just in the background making jokes— motherfucker never takes it seriously.

wilbur’s the one who tries to take it seriously, but because he’s w/ these fools it always backfires on him. he’s always the one who’s asking the ghosts questions abt their personal life or doing theories about how they could’ve died, but in the end he’s always roped into some stupid shenanigans by his brothers and then just ends up taunting the ghosts. he’s known as the fandom’s conspiracy theorist— also, no one fucking knows if he actually believes in the ghosts or not??? man just makes theories. he’s more of the common sense than fucking phil is sometimes

phil is the camera man, as he’s established, but as well as wilbur he’s the one who communicates w/ the ghosts more often, and by that i mean the motherfucker is a ghost magnet. when the activity by techno and wilbur is always stagnant, on phil’s camera’s there’s always orbs caught by him, there’s always voices heard whispering by him— the ghosts seem to like him. half the time he’s just laughing behind the camera, but also the other time he’s trying to converse w/ the ghosts; he’s the only one who actually gets ‘em to speak and he’s never phased by any of it.

tommy is the one who’s the most scared out of all of ‘em, of course. motherfucker is always yelling, regardless if there’s something going on or not. he’s the type that thinks his increase in volume hides the fact that he’s scared, and he’s always challenging the ghosts to a duel or yelling ‘IM NOT SCARED’ only to piss his pants a second later. either that, or he’s wandering off ‘cause he got bored— there’s been more scenarios than the sleepy boi’s would like where they’ve lost tommy in the places they visit to. and, he ends up scaring himself even more when he gets lost. he’s also always the target for wilbur and techno’s pranks because he’s just that easy w/ paranormal shit

tubbo is also a pretty reoccurring character in the paranormal videos, but he doesn’t ever stay. he was first introduced by tommy, of course, coming onto the video as the ‘family friend’ (which is deadass just a roundabout way of saying he’s the unofficially adopted kid), and whenever he’s on their videos he’s also one of the most scared ones, but simultaneously,,, man constantly tries to talk to the ghosts? he gets scared by a too sudden sound or gets freaked out by the ghost stories, but a second later he’s in the corner fucking talking to,,, thin air? man’s known as the cryptid of the group. he constantly makes friends w/ the ghosts but it just looks like he’s talking to himself. (,,,, perhaps.,,,, tubbo can see,,,,, a little bit more of the paranormal world than we can? but that’s just spoilers)

DuckTales - Star Trek AU Map of the Galaxy

The following three images are the same hand-drawn overview of the Milky Way Galaxy that I did (which was really fun to draw!), with the first being the drawing itself, the second being a quadrant map, and the third being a details map, followed by a list of the corresponding points on the map, and then by some categories of locations that didn't make it onto the map for one reason or another (followed by some ending notes!).

The map + lists highlight most, if not all locations I've mentioned in previous answers (here's the AU tag), plus some other important locations that I haven't mentioned yet (some from Trek, some of my own design ;)). For everything else (especially the "Regions of Space"), it should be safe to assume that it's the same/AU version (or just doesn't exist/isn't mentioned in the AU) of the Star Trek maps, unless I say otherwise.

For this map/lists, I referred to NASA illustrations + data and Star Trek maps + info, especially the game map for Star Trek Online. That said, please note that the map and locations are definitely not to scale in terms of galactic distances between each point, but it should still provide a good general idea of where places are in relation to each other.

(Lists are under the cut after the images!)

Locations + Corresponding Points on Map:

Sector 001 - Sol system (Earth + Moon), AU Vulcan system - Earth: Klondike + White Agony Creek cabin, Dawson City, Starfleet Academy, Castle McDuck

Canard sector - Canard system (Canard), Deep Space 87 (DS87), Canardian wormhole* to Gamma Quadrant - DS87: Goldie's/Louie's Bar, Vic's Lounge, USS Thunderquack * The wormhole also serves as the "natural route" to the mirror universe, under the right conditions.

____________________

Some random end notes:

** About those last 4 (technically 3) points on the map - these are cosmic objects specifically of my own design! :D Omicron Aquarioon III is an aquatic world that Fethry and Mitzy would definitely visit with their cetacean vessel + crew, but also...Aquarioon! A little nod to Huey's favorite water spectacle from "The House of the Lucky Gander!" The Fiendish Nebula (F.O.W.L.'s homeworld) is very special to me, and I'll explain why in a post I'll make after this one (it'll be my art of the nebula, and another artwork of a constellation - it originally wasn't meant for this AU, so that's why I'll keep it separate from this, but I'll use the AU's tag, so they'll still be close together). But I am very excited to share them. :) (And I hope to draw some art of my other two space creations here eventually, though it might be a while.) Lucy's Prize is very much a secret, so much so that I'm not probably not going to reveal much about it until I draw it and/or write the corresponding storyline for it. But I will give some teasing hints about it (and guesses are certainly welcome ;P): - Its possible locations being near the galactic center have to do with the region of older stars there. - I based it on a very, very cool bit of science I read on an old NASA site, and even without the AU, I would still want to draw/imagine it. It's just that cool. - Besides a certain group of the main cast of the AU, I'll say that specifically my AU version of the Iotians would be interested in it, if they know about it. - I named it "Lucy's Prize" mainly to honor Lucille Ball, the godmother of Star Trek (and I grew up watching I Love Lucy), but there's also an indirect connection to NASA's Lucy mission that recently launched to the Trojan asteroids. If you can find that connection, you'll have a major hint for what the Prize is. - It's just gonna be such a cool, legendary, almost mythical concept in the AU, with an equally-daring and epic adventure needed to get to it. I'm so excited! :D

About Goldie and Louie's bar name - I miiiight have mentioned this in some tag or note before (or just thought of it, but never wrote it down), but ok. I know I mentioned in the first post about their bar that Louie will pull out a sign with his own name and charge double whenever Goldie's away, but otherwise, the bar is just called Goldie's. Well, this works for a while, but after that, Louie starts wanting a little more recognition in their partnership and business, and things might escalate between them for a bit. (This might happen during/after the whole Morn death thing, especially if the will is in Goldie's name.) But then after some specific "episode" where they come to a new understanding (and/or after they use all that "useless gold"), maybe they change their bar's name to "The GOLD Bar" - The Goldie O'Gilt Louie Duck Bar, where their initials form the acronym! :D

About AU Camor V (possible Dickie Duck storyline planet) - on Memory Alpha, they say this about Trek's Camor V: "The planet was badly affected in the Cardassian Wars with a large number of the adult population killed in the war, leaving many orphans behind." I know I said in the answer about Dickie that Goldie and/or Scrooge would be tricked into thinking they're related to her, but what if in reality she's one of these orphans? (She'd be more grown-up when they meet her, but still.) I still need to rewatch that episode, but this is food for thought.

My version of SAO "Everyone Lives" AU

I need to get out my ideas of what would happen if most of SAO's Major Character Deaths got averted before Lycoris is released (except the villains and Sachi & the Moonlit Black Cat guild's death, there is just no way to erase it without undoing Kirito's development in Aincrad). I know SAO Gameverse/ Lycoris wouldn't follow any of my ideas, so I just want to share my view. Who knows, maybe this will become a huge fanfic some day.

Note: This post is full of multishipping/ non-canon shipping pandering headcanons/implications (the biggest ones are Eugeo/Kirito/Asuna & Bercouli/Fanatio/Dakira), as well as obvious heavy Alicization WoU and Moon Cradle spoilers, please beware. I also lightly included some game-only Alicization characters (Eydis and Medina) because I like them.

1) Cardinal is alive and she has high authority enough to install kid Alice Zuberg into a free Cube to make her a living entity separate from Alice S30

In most recent live Q&A Reki said that while writing Alicization the first scene he wrote is the scene of Kirito and Alice S30 climbing back into Cathedral and Kirito convinced Alice S30 to his side, he mentioned Alice's Synthesis is an irreversible one and it aligns with my reasoning of how Zuberg & S30 are different Fluctlights so I'll keep the same settings in here. So how would this affect everyone's treatment to the 2 Alices?

- Kirito would be glad that he doesn't have to "kill" any Alice just to keep one;

- Selka would be extremely confused, but I think she would eventually accept happily that she has 2 sisters now;

- Eugeo... would have even more complicated emotions than anyone, even more than he imagined. From my own experience, during university period, I went to a class reunion full of friends from middle school, and I reunited with a classmate friend whom I used to like a lot as a person. But for some reason I couldn't like his adult self as much as his middle school self even if he still isn't a bad person. To me he changed way too much in how he behaves and how he presents himself that I can't like his adult self like his middle school self, and I was shocked that puberty could change a person that much. Same to myself, I have changed a lot in my puberty too, and he also said I'm not the same as before any more. Back to my AU, I feel like Eugeo and Zuberg might mirror what I felt when I reunited with my classmate. Eugeo used to describe Alice Zuberg like the sun on the blue sky and that image of her is his source of happiness whenever he's sad, while Alice S30 is so unapproachable and cold like ice. Eugeo being indifferent to S30 is one thing, but to Zuberg it's like reuniting with a friend in elementary school who stayed the same and both would be shocked as Eugeo's the one who changed so much due to puberty. In ARS game Zuberg even said that while being jailed in Cathedral's ceiling, Eugeo (and everyone else) grew so big while she stayed the same and she's upset.

So I think in the end Eugeo would still end up letting Zuberg go instead of forcing her into the fantasy he held up for so long. Interestingly Eugeo himself already muled over this in LN when he was reading books in Cardinal's library, that the best outcome they could hope for is to give Zuberg back to her body and send her back to her family happily while he continued his adventure with Kirito because they're being chased away by the Church.

2) (Super self-indulgent) Bercouli/Fanatio/Dakira

Dakira: "Fanatio-sama is so amazing and dazzling and I love her, but she has Commander Bercouli so I can only be her subordinate and admire her in silence..."

Fanatio: "Dakira is so hardworking and loyal, she has so much potential I love having her with me but then what would Commander think..."

Bercouli: "Don't worry I'm cool with it, take care of our Sub-Commander, Dakira. And it's not like I can stop my knights from flexing their gayness..." *eyeing Eydis Synthesis 10

Super spoilers: Even if Bercouli didn't die in the War I think he would eventually unfreeze his age and find an ending for himself when he thinks he's lived too long and done enough for the Knights many years later. He would entrust Fanatio and her son with him to Dakira before he passed away, and Dakira would become Berche's 2nd mother (instead of Fanatio taking care of the kid alone in canon).

3) (Super self-indulgent) Eydis S10 x Alice S30 and Medina x Sortiliena

I could never imagine I would like any gameverse girls before but ARS and Lycoris manga have sold me Eydis x Alice S30 and Medina x Sortiliena OMG so I ship them hard in my AU.

4) Super self-indulgent Eugeo/Kirito/Asuna

(You guys who have stayed with me for years should have known already ara ara)

I don't feel it would not be that different from this excerpt from HR manga (seriously this artist really vibes with me I wanna have a drink with him sometimes).

Everyone: "Don't you think they're just too close? Aren't you afraid Asuna?"

Asuna: "Yeah I should, should I? But like Kirito seems so happy with him around like no others could and I feel he's a good boy so I can let them be"

We also should have more Eugeo & Asuna's interactions of chewing on Kirito's bad habits XD. I also feel like they can find solace in each other being fellow victims of sexual exploits from adults, in some aspects that Kirito can't fully understand that only fellow victims can.

4) Yuuki is alive and comes into UW as Goddess Lunaria

Poor Moon Goddess Lunaria, she's the 4th God of the Human Empire but even Reki forgot her in WoU and only mentioned her more in Moon Cradle. Anime and games also made it worse for leaving her out completely :(. So I want her to get her role in my AU as the Goddess of Dreams. Yuuki extremely fits her role, not to mention she cosplayed the Moon Princess in MD before. More Stacia Asuna x Lunaria Yuuki interactions are here of course.

5) Eugeo and Lunaria Yuuki participate in WoU with everyone

- Lunaria would be an amazing fighter of course. I feel she would be even more deadly than normal now that she has to start fighting with human souls on the line, whether they're real or artificial.

- Eugeo would be a huge AoE Life Absorber and Healer and also becomes destructive sometimes borderline death. But fighting with others will help him start seeing his own values and gain his own will to survive for others. And he'll become the first proper Knight in UW without going through Synthesis.

6) WoU changes and outcome in my AU (huge spoilers)

- Kirito got unconscious and damaged for a while, but without self-destructing his own Fluctlight from guilt of Eugeo's and other comrades' deaths because Eugeo is still alive and took care of him, so he eventually healed, at least quicker than canon;

- Asuna, Sinon and Leafa came to UW at once to help heal Kirito. There is no facepalming Asuna vs Alice fights since Alice didn't develop some level of Florence Nightingale effect towards Kirito (according to Wikipedia: "The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver falls in love with their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care. Feelings may fade once the patient is no longer in need of care.");

- Sinon won against Subtilizer instead of the anti-climatic outcome in canon;

- Kirito & Eugeo fought together to win against PoH while Asuna and other girls kicked ass to huge armies;

- When they won the War the acceleration ratio of UW was changed to 1:1, Human Empire and Dark Territory made peace with more trading, labor & technology exchange treaties that benefit both. Alice S30 & Eugeo came to real world through Ichiemon & Niemon robots and chilled in ALO while Kirito beat up Kikuoka for hiding from him the actual purpose of Alicization project, and thus Kirito forced him not to use his friends as war soldiers.

- Alice S30 chose to go back to UW in the end since she finds her most values as being a Knight, coming to events of farce in real world is not her thing, and she wants to spend time with her Zuberg family. Meanwhile Eugeo already parted with his family after dumping on them a big bag of his Knight's salary money, saying that they can live prosperously without him working his ass off for them now, and he never comes back. He still comes and goes from real world to UW to do duties as a Knight who helps connecting real world & virtual reality, and sometimes visits the Zubergs with Kirito & Asuna. In real world he lives as an all-purpose robot in Kirigaya resident, while ALO he lives in the log house and takes care of Yui whenever Kirito & Asuna are busy in real world.

THE END.

[a-vivid-dreamer]

Hey, I am now fully obsessed with this AU and I wanted to ask more questions:

1. Once the Trailblazer knows about Qingyan and Ashim existence, what will they think of them?

2. What is Ashim and Qingyan's relationship really like? What do they think of each other? What are these "dire incidents" that cause both of them to become close?

3. What do both Ashim and Qingyan think of the other characters? Like Fu Xuan, Jingyuan, the Astral Express and The Trailblazer?

4. Since you have confirmed that Qingyan actually did some pranks if someone makes gets him in a very bad mood, what are these times where Qingyan snapped and decided to prank on that person? Who was the one who pranked him? What was actually the prank like?

5.  Will any of the characters, who picked up Ashim and Qingyan's presence but never know about them, soon found out about them in this AU? If so, who was the first one (other than Jingyuan) to fully found out? And was their reaction?

6. When did Yanqing and Misha's powers become sentimental? Were Ashim and Qingyan sentimental ever since birth?

I hope these questions aren't too much for you to answer. Btw, I have just realized that most of the asks about Mirror image AU are pretty much from me💀

Haha, it’s alright. <3

1. I’d say, definitely a bit wary. Though, the trailblazer will be more casual and relaxed about them once Qingyan and Ahsim make it clear they’re not gonna be enemies to the trailblazer.

2.

Qingyan and Ahsim have ended up with a close relationship and think highly of each other even though they tend to bicker. While it may seem that they have trouble getting along, they have gained a better understanding of each other and wouldn’t hesitate to help each other. In a way, their relationship has a similar energy to Qingyan being able to give Ahsim the middle finger and get an “love you too” in response.

For Qingyan’s pov on Ahsim: “That one…ugh. He knows exactly how to get on my nerves and the amount of times he’s messed with me for fun leaves me fuming just thinking about it! …But he’s one of the rare few I’d entrust my life to. …Never tell him I said that.”

For Ahsim’s pov on Qingyan: “Ha, he’s a fun one to tease. Incredibly easy to mess with too. It’s especially cute how that strand of hair seems to move according to his mood. I once suggested plucking it and he got incredibly defensive, haha. Ah…of course I wouldn’t actually, but it’d be nice if he learned how to relax. Maybe one day he’ll take my jokes in stride.”

As for the “dire incidents”… unfortunately that’s very important to this au’s plot so I won’t be spoiling it. ;)

3. Since this would get a bit long, I’ll keep it to 3 for each for now.

Qingyan:

About Jing Yuan - “A capable man for a general, but it’s never good for a schemer to have a laidback attitude. He may be Yanqing’s guardian, but I won’t be so easy to win over. I’ve got my eyes on him… If only Yanqing could understand why to not have such blind worship toward him.”

About Fu Xuan - “For someone’s job to be divining potential futures… It’s no wonder she comes off as a grumpy office worker. That device stuck in her head definitely doesn’t help. But I respect what she’s trying to do…and I especially enjoy seeing her chew people out.”

About Astral Express - “I’ve learned about the Astral Express before… Who would’ve thought someone would start dusting off those old tracks and get things running again. Fortunately, it seems its current Nameless have nothing but good intentions. But any future members…you should always watch out for snakes if you plan to pick up people from different parts of the universe with their own stories and motivations.”

Ahsim:

About The Family - “The Family… It would be a lie to say they haven’t done anything good. However, I… Ahem. This isn’t a very safe place to discuss this.”

About Clockie - “A fascinating one, isn’t he? Ah, there’s been many fun times between us. Though, I’m mostly grateful that he could become a friend for Misha. I hope that Misha will someday get the chance to make even more wonderful friends.”

About Gallagher - “I’ve had my eyes on him for a while. I’d approach him myself but…ah. It’s not quite the right time.”

4. This was meant more as a background funfact so it unfortunately doesn’t have that much in-depth details to it. However, Qingyan may or may not have done the following: misplacing documents that needed to be turned in, using ice to make armor harder to take off, making someone slip/trip, sticking embarrassing sticky notes on someone’s back, tampering with someone’s food, etc.

5. At the moment, this is highly subject to change so I won’t provide any solid answers to this yet. However, Fu Xuan and Blackswan are certainly higher in the list. Both of them would have rather calm reactions to be honest. Fu Xuan might be more exasperated and Blackswan probably more intrigued.

6. Qingyan and Ahsim became fully sentient and made first true contact with their respective hosts when Yanqing and Misha were little. Before that, their sentience needed some time to develop.

Book 3 FAQ!

Need to catch up? Heres all the previous FAQs 1 * 2 Heres the master post of all three books 1 * 2 * 3

Wow...you would think that with the whole pandemic that I’d get these chapters out faster. But alas this year got the best of me too. I’ve been a lil vulnerable in the tags with y’all and the check-in messages really touched me. So thank you very much to everyone that has checked up on me and enjoyed the chapters! I appreciate all of you :3 So lets roll out the questions!

Q: Who is Iwata based off? A: Iwata is based off my self-insert, which is also me. I know that sounds a lil narcissistic but it’s that real life reference that you’re a spitting image of your parent. Iwata was designed to look and act very similar to his mother based off that. What made him a little more original and not a copy of my self-insert is the tropes I added. I mirrored the trope of that of the relationship between Steven and his mom in Steven Universe; where he adored, then hated but then came to terms that he is not his mom but someone better. A whole journey of self-discovery and self-worth.

Q: The representation is amazing! How did you come up with these queer characters? A: Glad you liked them! Like I’ve said in previous FAQs and in the tags, all these characters were dreamt and I just build upon them in writing. So yes, most of my characters were created queer in my dreams but I make them more in depth by setting up how they discovered they’re queer. I did a bit of research on coming out stories and self-discovery epiphanies to have these characters more relatable so a fellow queer reader feels seen in a way. There’s already too much hetero works out there, I just want to gay it up in a respectful way. 

Q: The culture mixing is really good and consistent, how do you do it? A: For starters, I am latina. But the culture mixing stems from my knowledge about other cultures through language. I’ve been studying Japanese for almost a decade now and Chinese for about 4 years, so it’s no surprise that I’m referencing them in my work. Maybe what I depict isn’t what other half-Japanese half-Latinx families do, but it’s what I’d do if I started such a family. Plus there’s some overlap within those cultures and it makes it easy to put into writing.

Q: So. much. drama! Why is this book more dramatic than the previous two? A: Book 3 is were main on-going plot gets picked up more and shows signs of resolution. In book 2, it was to focus on not only Lili and the family dynamic but to remind the reader that life moved on with little resolve for the self-insert character. Iwata has a HUGE role in the resolution but in his own special way. And I’m not saying the answer is love...but it’s leaning there. 

Q: You reference specific food and snacks in this AU/ what are your favorite Cheetos? A: Like I said, I’m latina! Of course I write in the food of my home culture. Mainly the home cooked meals my mom would make for me and my siblings. It might not seem like much to the reader, but those simple meals add to the narrative of being home and traditions that help them embrace their mixed heritage. The reference of Cheetos are all over this AU because they’re my favorite hot chip. Naturally, my favorite Cheetos are the Hot con Límon with chamoy. 

Q: Love that there’s no canon character deaths in this book so far, but are there any major deaths planned? A: Just one but it’s not a tragic, hero fallen type death. It’s a natural death but it’s gonna be a tear jerker. That death won’t come until the WAY end of this AU, so I’m not gonna spoil anything yet.

Q: Can’t believe you predicted Dabi’s true identity. A: It was obvious tho. I didn’t really predict anything canon if you’re an anime only for BNHA. In this AU (without spoiling too much) there’s no Endeavor redemption and Dabi doesn’t cause that big drama on live TV. So if you’re an Endeavor hater like me, you’re gonna love what I have in store for them in the next book!

Q: I love Tenya being a dad and loving husband in this AU! Will we see more dad moments? A: Glad you like those snippets of dad Tenya! I love writing them for my own indulgence since there isn’t enough love for this character in the fandom. Plus I see a whole lot of consistent readers are Iida-stans and that makes me want to write more married fluff whenever I can.

Q: Beizu is best boi/Who is Beizu based off of? A: Beizu is the genius trope in this book. I made his character a more chill version of his mom but with that ‘who is my dad’ trope. Beizu is part of a trio that’s to mirror the agent trio of Ita, Jin and Mimi. The third member is yet to be revealed but they’re a BIG plot device in the coming book. But Beizu is one of my favorite OCs, maybe I’ll do a ranking of my OCs when everyone is introduced. 

Q: The villains and Hawks plot has me SHOOK! What’s going to happen to hero society when this case gets solved? A: Without spoiling it, the truth is going to expose the corrupt higher ups in hero society. The kids in the household has a part in taking down hero society as well but in their own, special way. Iwata has the biggest part in closing the case (but it’s spoiler if I say how), Lili and twins help tearing down minor things like education systems and laws. I will say though, the case gets resolved after the trio retires because Ita gets to return to America and found an heir to the company before they could draw to a conclusion. Which is a happy ending at the end of the storyline, no major deaths!

Q: Confirmed weddings? A: Yes :) because Lili and Iwata deserve good things and love. The twins have it easy in the coming book. Lili’s comes first and Iwata’s comes later than expected (can’t say why yet, gotta keep reading :3). I guess I can say that all of them get married but Lili’s and Iwata’s are the only queer ones. All the spouses that marry into the family take the Iida name, so Lili and Hanaka don’t change family names when they get married! Y’all already know those wedding chapters are gonna be lavish and take up most of the chapter, you’ll love them.

Q: But are the kids Joji stans? A: Oh jeez...they are the same way we like 80′s music. It’s pleasant to listen to but kinda cringe when you see your parents dance to it. I don’t really portray it, but the family digital library has all of Joji’s music in a playlist called ‘Sad hours Soundtrack’. If you ask Mr Muffins 2.0 who last listened to the playlist, they’ll snitch who and how many times it has been looped. That’s how Tenya knows who needs cheering up.

Q: I love the little references to their childhood, what else can you tell us about their pre-book childhood? A: As I said a few times in the tags, I cut a ton of stuff that isn’t relevant to the plot. Most of it was their childhood and how they manifested their quirks. Lili really liked to scream before she learned to talk, a very fast learner and at 3 years old got her engine quirk and later that year showed signs of a second quirk. Iwata was very quiet child, hardly cried or gets upset but latched on to mom a lot. His first words were in Spanish but struggled a bit with Japanese before entering kinder. Tensei was born first, then Hanaka followed 10 minutes later. Hanaka’s fire quirk manifested after the first breast feeding when she was getting burped by mom in the hospital. Mom likes to believe Tensei came out first to warn everybody that Hanaka can breathe fire. Tensei didn’t manifest his metal quirk until the age of 7, making him a very late bloomer. Though very different in personalities, Hanaka and Tensei get along and get very creative when it’s playtime. Up until the age of 5, mom would place Hanaka in kindling to get the BBQ grill or bonfire started. Hanaka has been known to randomly burst into flames as a baby, so Tensei had to sleep in a different crib for his safety. Tensei spent more time reading as a child because everyone was focused on managing Hanaka’s flames, thus making him a very studious boy.

Q: Not an AU question, but how are you doing?/ We don’t mind waiting for the chapters! Please take your time. A: I’ve been getting check ins and validation in my asks for the inconsistent schedule. Too many things came at me this year, both good and bad. I was doing well in speech and debate that I went to nationals and prepared myself for some serious competition, leaving no time to do chapters. Then I fell in and out of depressive episodes during lockdown where I’m from. In the summer my grandmother passed away from the virus in Mexico, then my beloved dog Mr Muffins passed away of old age. Those deaths hurt me and my family the most that I was having a hard time trying to cope plus trying to be responsible by adhering to CDC guidelines (I’m in the immune-comprised group). In my want to get over my grief, I trained and received my certificate in ordained ministry (yea I know that’s not the best first step, but I just needed to feel like I’ve achieved something being cooped up at home). I’ve very grateful that theres some readers that see the tags and check up on me. All your kind words gives me a little strength to write and finish every chapter at my pace.

Q: More art please? A: Yes :3 I have one coming up real soon! After the end of this book is where I’ll be releasing some art as a sort of place holder.

Q: Is the the estate drama eluding to the ending? A: Yup! And it will show up every now and then in the next book.

Q: This is a really good self insert AU! There’s complexity to your character and others...how do you write these interactions/relationships really close to actual ones? A: Thanks for the complement :3 When I first started this AU, I was in the middle of my semester of a creative writing course. Near the end of book 2 was when I finished the course work for it and by then you could see the progression in writing. ALSO, I’m a communications major as well! Writing these relationships and other social things were things that I remembered learning in my interpersonal communications class. I was a bit on fence on whether or not to start this AU because I didn’t think my writing skill was at all that good. With some encouragement from my classmates and friends, I pushed myself to write this whole AU out. I don’t plan on stopping until I finish the storyline, plus I hate leaving things unfinished.

And that wraps up this FAQ! Hopefully I got everyone’s questions since most were check-ins for me. But expect the last chapter for book 3 in the next few days. After Book 3, I’m going on a lil hiatus until the end of February. I have so many life events happening in the upcoming weeks that I’m gonna need time to recharge before resuming this AU. Y’all know I bounce back as promised, in the meantime, I have some art things queued to remind y’all that Book 4 is in the works. Only 2 more books to go! Thanks again for reading and I’ll talk you y’all again later in the tags~

-Love, Palma-sama

8 1/4

12 40/’’

Breakfast at 9 50/’’ – Before and since till now 10 50/’’ wrote all the 1st 18 lines of yesterday – Very fine morning Reaumur 13 1/2º now at 10 50/’’ a.m. tea and coffee excellent – Slices of smoked bologna saussage – Good – Ready the instant called for – Little cakes on the tray as last night – Slept comfortably – 

A servant gone off to Macarief to have the convent open for us – No! The man apparently a sort of under steward, drove off in a Kibitka and pair just before (at the same time with) us, and went about with us everywhere – Reaumur -29º when we set out at 11 25/’’ they call it 5 versts across the river to Macarief – Did not go direct across – But drove along a narrow stream coasting an island for some distance till we turned the point of the island (behind which a little fleet of vessels  frozen up) and had the picturesque monastery full in view – 

The current geography of the Volga between Lyskovo and Makar’yevo (note the islands in the river).

Walked round, and round towers at the corners – Picturesque square tower gateway in the middle between 2 round towers – The front towards us – And 2 churches with each their 5 domes seen behind the gateway, and a tall handsome pointed clocher – The wooden Town, the natural weathered wood – No paint or wash to brighten it up ∴[therefore] looks old, and unfrequented – 

At the monastery in 1/2 hour at 11 55/’’ – A monk in readiness – Shewed us first the winter church – Au 1erpremier (magazines of flour &c. below) low and warm – Shewed us the rich robes de prêtre – And 2 archimandrite caps thick with pearls and a few precious stones – The more valuable worth 20,000/- - then to the summer lofty the walls of the interior entirely covered with fresco painting that wants renewing – 

Enormous pillars round up to the top all covered with painting – 4 different chapels at the bottom of each room with gilt columns and baldaquins rich but done about 40 years ago and too modern for the rest of the church – This church shews one that the principal dome and the 2 little domes at the entrance end light the church – The 2 domes at the other end light the part behind the iconostase which generally goes up to the top close under the edge of the great dome – Then to the chapel of St. Macarief – Light, inside all painted over as usual – Pretty chapel – Several pictures representing the history of this Saint born at Nijeni Novgorod – 

Then looked about – The great gateway mentioned above has a little church or chapel over it – Saw one of the cells of the monks – A small strip of a room with a less one alongside that held his bed – A stove to heat each – The Archimandrite Abbot could only speak Russian ∴[therefore] sent compliments and did not see him – 

The Macarief Convent (image by Alexxx Malev).

An hour there and off at 12 55/’’ A-[Ann] starved drove as near the old site of the Fair as the much snow would let us – A large handsome looking building with the hexastyle or octostyle portico and pediment, and a large pile of other building now made no use of standing in the middle of what used to be surrounded with Q.[Quantum] S.[Satis] of wood erections – The town a mere unpainted village – not a good house to be seen in it – 

Drove right across the magnificent river – 1 verst broad just opposite to Macarief, and 10 v.[versts] when debordé – Several islands covered with salley bushes – In 3/4 hour (at 12 40/’’ alighted at the handsome Church of the Assumption finished a year ago built by the Prince of Georgia – Much handsome gilding of colours and handsome grape-pattern prestole doors all done by the prince’s people here – All done by them except the painting some at Moscow of the faces &c. of the pictures – Very pretty church a tetrastyle portico and pediment at each of the 4 (I think) fronts – 

Then to the Fabrique of Eau de Vie at 2 5/’’ – Makes 500 hogsheads a year – Besides the 14 mills along the ridge of the hill seen from the river there are 30 or 40 more mills on the platform of this high ground – Went down into a little basin-like hollow to the fabrique – They work up 40 sacks of farine de seigle par jour, and a sack at a rough guess judging from what they said would = at least 5 bushels – They said afterwards they made 25 hogsheads a day i.e. 25 Hogsheads from 40 sacks of flour – 

Different qualities of brandi (Vodki) from /60 per bottle to 4/- (about 1 quart bottle – at least 8 of these bottles = 1 vedro and 3 vedros = 1 case (and not less than a case sold here) – I tasted some darkish coloured good mild brandy at 2/50 per bottle and tasted afterwards some of the white hot fiery spirit from the Tuyaux as it ran from the still – 

Such a thick fog in the place, could see nothing – All the sides of the wood walls within and everything covered not with flour,  but with snow – Singular appearance – The heat of the fabrique and Reaumur -30º of cold without produced this fog and snow within – 

Great quantity of  Absinthe (Artemisia) hanging up in bundles from the beams of the roof in one of the places – Use this to make what George called bitter brandy – Omitted to ask how many people employed – But saw 1/2 dozen women washing bottles (1/2 as well as 1 quart bottles) and I should think 20 or 30 men in all – They said the hot stuff I saw in troughs dehors and looking thick and yellowish was given to the cows and horses, very fond of it and became fat upon it – I could not see  what power turned the great wheel that works the farine with the water in the hujus trough into which it is poured from a sort of hopper – I saw them light a large sort oven or furnace – Is it steam that turns the wheel? I saw no horses anywhere – But perhaps probably horses are employed – Difficult to get information thro’ George – 

Then to a machine making shop the Prince bought of Count de Broglie who married a Princess Troubetskoi disagreed with and left her – Returned to France and sold his fabrique – Saw nothing worth going to see there – A few wheels, common turn-wheels – And a large wheel like Jackson’s for turning machinery to make cutlery they said – 

A-[Ann] so cold she began to cry ∴[therefore] hurried home and came in at 3 20/’’ then dinner in 10 minutes or less, and over at 4 – Found Porter, Port and 2 White wines on the table and they brought Madeira tasted none of them – And then they brought a 1/2 bottle Rhine wine excellent Stemberger from Cornill Francfort – Then they brought Bishoff (rather too much of the Seville orange in it) then Malaga (refused) then the Maître d’Hotel filled me a glass (A-[Ann] refused) of excellent Champagne, which, as everyone does in Russia, I let stand till the last, and till its upness was gone down then coffee – We had had soup and pâtés – A joint (what?) of veal with a very thin feuille of ham inserted all under the skin! Good – Then côtelettes de veau – Then a rôti of game gelinottes excellent and apparently small squary pieces of veal – Then a sort of little round Savoy Biscuit 2 with preserved whole white currants between – Then preserved white raspberries and preserved thin slices of lemon, all excellent – 

Then had George and the Courier settling what to do – Determined to stay all night here, and be off at 6 (6 1/2) in the morning after a cup of tea at 6 – The Courier said that in consequence of (something) horses since Nijeni and forwards will be -/6 each per v.[verst] instead of -/5 – How is this? 8v.[verst] out marche route for tomorrow – The one I had and paid 5/- for the P.[Post] O.[Office] not right for winter and going on the river! – 

A[Ann] queer and starved and out of sorts had to get set her right sat some time idle till candles at 6 – And tea at 7 – Before and after wrote note to be left with the Maître d’Hotel tomorrow morning of thanks &c. for ‘À Monsieur le Prince George de Georgie’ and settled accounts and had Domna, and wrote the whole of today till now 11 3/4 p.m. ought to have been in bed – Very fine clear cold day – Reaumur 14º on my table as I sit writing now at 11 3/4 p.m. – 

Our room about 9 x 7 yards 2 stoves and 2 doors, and our window in 3 divisions (about 15 square feet of glass) and room perhaps 9 ft.[feet] high – But being so large, it looks low – Very comfortable here – We have about 6 men servants in attendance – 3 sofas, 10 arm and 5 smaller chairs – 2 tables and one little commode, and one out of a nest of tables, and one looking glass nearly 3 ft.[feet] by 18 in.[inches] of mirror and near it the little pénate (household image) – A brick house of no great pretension outside – we have seen no room but this and our anteroom leading to it – But Grâce au Prince George de Georgie for all our comfort and good doings –

The Beach Boys go to the Museum

A crackfic. Read if you want to immediately lose all your brain cells.

---

    Once upon a time, Brian Wilson was daydreaming about girls going to the museum which was very educational. More educational than daydreaming about girls which is good for you which is why he was daydreaming about going to the museum instead of girls. 

    “Yoo hoo brothers!” he said. 

    “What is it, big brother?” shouted Dennis and Carl Wilson from another part of the Beach Boys ResidenceTM

    “I have decided to go to the museum which is a very educational activity for us to do which will be beneficial for us,” said Brian. “I will call our cousin, Michael Edward Love, and our friend, Alan Charles Jardine.”

    “Oh ok, big brother,” the two younger Wilsons said. “As soon as we get out of the shower and clothe ourselves (which will probably align with the arrival of our cousin, Michael Edward Love, and our friend, Alan Charles Jardine), we shall take off in the Beach Boy MobileTM to go to the museum as you wish.”

T I M E S K I P

    “Incredible,” said Carl Wilson. “We have finished showering and being clothed just as our cousin, Michael Edward Love, and our friend, Alan Charles Jardine, have arrived.”

    “Now we can go to the  Beach Boy MobileTM to go to the museum Brian Wilson, my big brother, wishes.”     “I hate this story,” said Michael Edward Love, a man with no taste.

“Do not attempt to break the fourth wall,” said Brian Douglas Wilson, extremely annoyed at Mike Love’s lack of taste.

“Harrumph >:( !” harrumped Michael Edward Love.

Suddenly, Bruce Arthur Johnston appeared out of Norway. “May I come too?”

“Permission accepted,” said Al Jardine

T I M E S K I P

    The beach boys arrived at the Museum of Interesting Plot which interested them very much. They headed into the museum, where they bumped into GASP! The Beatles - an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960 with a line-up comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who are regarded as the most influential band of all time. 

    “THE BEACH BOYS!” the bug boys ejected.

    “THE BEATLES!” the sand children exclaimed.

    “What a coincidence that we have bumped into you guys in the exact same museum,” said John Lennon. “I bet you were trying to sneak behind us and steal our songwriting ideas >:O”

    “Absolutely not >:O” said Brian Wilson, putting his hands on his hip in a gesture of frustration. “I bet YOU were trying to sneak behind us and steal OUR songwriting ideas”

    “We were not >:O” said Sir James Paul McCartney.

    They started fighting and in the moment of anger, they broke!! The statue of David (not Crosby unfortunately for the statue of David Crosby has cursed the museum for over a century now)!!!!!!!

    “HEY” said The Manager of The Museum (which was an unfortunate name given to him by his parents sad emoji)

    “Oh no” said Brian Wilson.

“Oh no” said Carl Wilson.

“Oh no” said Dennis Wilson.

“Oh no” said Mike Love.

“Oh no” said Al Jardine.

“Oh no” said Bruce Johnston.

“Oh no” said George Harrison.

“Oh no” said Paul McCartney.

“Oh no” said Ringo Starr

“Yoko Ono?” said John Lennon. “My wife in the future, depending on the era.”

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” THERE WAS A CAR CRASHING INTO THE MUSEUM WHICH BROKE THE STATUE OF DAVID TENNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

IT WAS THE POOR MONKEES!!! IN THE MONKEE MOBILE!!!

“Ouchies!” said Micky Dolenz.

“OMG” said The Manager of The Museum (who happened to also be a clone of  Ringo Starr) He was angry. Very angry. So angry, that he was angry. “You guys better pay for this.”

“But we can’t,” said the Beatles (for Brian Epstein did not give them their allowance that day)

“We can’t either,” said the Beach Boys (for they had already spent enough on getting a nintendo switch to play animal crossing: new horizons.

This is left the poor, poor Monkees. “Bruh we poor af.”

“Then you have to work to pay for it smh,” said The Manager of The Museum.

“OH NO!” said all of them at once.

“You must go around the museum to find three fragments of the broken statue that you have broken, which somehow have been transported into the museum which you must complete challenges to get!”

“Like Dora the Explorer?” asked George Harrison, the youngest member of the Beatles. 

    “Yea,” saidThe Manager of The Museum. “Ok bye im gonna play animal crossing: new horizons now :))))))”

    “Ok. We must split up into three groups.”

BEACH BOYS SECTION - THE HALL OF THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WATER

    “Wow, how convenient is that we have coincidentally walked into the hall of things that have to do with water,” said Denny Wilson. “It is as this was planned.”

    And then…………………….”oh my god a wave,” said M*ke Love.

    “QUICKLY INTO THE BEACH GEAR” shouted Brian Wilson as they proceeded to use the sims animation to change into their beach gear. “NOW WE MUST.,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,”

“We thro Dennise into da water bc he is da only 1 who can surf XD” said Mke Luv as he tossed Deniise into da water liKE A BOSS AND HI-FIVES ALL ROUND WAPOOSH WAPOOSH TAHK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING AND I’LL SEE U IN THE NEXT VIDEO!!! *outro plays*

“Ahem,” said Ctrl. “We did not bring a surfboard,,,,,,,,so how is he supposed to surf??? Thonk emoji. Lmfao roasted XD”

“We use (drumroll pls) AL SARDINE as Da Surfboard Lmao!!!” said Miiiiiike lov e as they all jumped on Al Jardine.

“I did not feel a thing, lol” said ALAN JARDINE because he was a super strong boy (stock image of a blond guy flexing his muscles).

“Bruh we reusing animation bro,” said Denal Wilson.

“Oh look an island,” said Brain. Dey all hopped off and landed on the island. On the island was Kurt Cobain.

“Wow Mr Kurt Cobain,” said Broose Honda. “I did not know you lived on dis island.”

“I don’t rofl,” said Coq Au Vin as he handed them a statue fragment.

“Oh wow thx Coco Van,” as they flew away.

MONKEE SECTION - THE HALL OF….I DONT KNOW

    “Lmao is that Stephen Arthur Stills, an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,” joked Micky Dolenz, pointing to a mirror in front of Peter Tork.

    “Lol yeah,” said Stephen.

    Micky screamed.

    “Here you go broski,” said Stephen Stills, handing them a fragment.

    “But what did we do?” asked Mike Nesmith.

    “Allowing the author to make the awful, often repeated annoying joke about me and Peter Halsten Thorkelson looking like identical twins.”

    “Ok thanks brewski,” said the Monkees as they headed off. “Come on Peter, don’t just stand there.”

    “But I’m Stephen.”

    “Wait,” said Davy. “But Peter was standing there just now.”

    “No, I was standing there.”

    The Monkees looked at each other and had a collective sigh. It was not gonna be as easy as they thought.

    And to make this complication more complicated, the author decided to make David Crosby, Graham Nash and Neil Young walk into the scene.

    “Bro Stephen wtf,” said Neil. “I knew you were small but I didn’t think you could crawl into the vents like that.”

    “But I’m Peter??????????”

    “Oh no not again,” said Graham Nash, already getting another headache.

    “Wait, wait wait, just a moment,” said Davy Jones. “Go back a bit. What do you mean by crawling through the vents.”

    “Please do not question the plot,” threatened David Crosby. 

    “YUH DAVY” said Micky. “Come on now, Peter,” - he grabbed Peter’s hand -” we gotta advance the plot.”

    “But I’m Stephen.”     Micky looked at him with such an expression that expressed a deep amount of hatred for the author. “It doesn’t matter. You guys are the same person anyway.”

The other lads shrugged and took poor Peter Halsten Dorkelson who was too confuzzled and befuddled and bamboozled to be crying.

BEATLES SECTION - THE HALL OF PAPERWORK

    “This is so boring,, (-_-)” said Jawn Jennon. “I think George Harrison fell asleep.”     “L M A O i did rofl lol,” said Heorge Garrison.

    “I am surprised because there is so much paperwork lying about that all look so boring!!” said Paul McEyelash.

    “Someone should clean this up smh,” said Ringone Starone.

    “YAAWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!” they all sed at 1nce. That yawn pushed a stack of paper off a table, which caused a chain reaction, leading to a bucket falling down, a train being activated, a cow mooing and the members of Queen being awoken from their frozen-in-som-kind-a-tube state.

    “BRO WTF WHOMST WOKE US UP (((p(>o<)q)))” said Roger Taylor, stretching. “I was still having my beauty sleep.”

    “(O.O) omg (O.O)(O.O) oh mah gawd (O.O)(O.O)(O.O)” said Freddie Mercury. “Are those (O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O) the legendary (O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O)(O.O) bug boys????????”

    “Ja” said gH.

    “ヽ(★ω★)ノ” said Brian May

    “(¬_¬") smh you woke up my cheese toast,” said John Deacon.

    “I guess, we should thank u for waking us up,” said Freddeh.

    “We wuz nevah gonna wake up,” said Briaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Mei.

    “Take dis,” Rogah Taylah gave them a statue fragment that had landed in his hair.

    “Wow thanks that was EZ lmao,” said the bug boys as they went away.

T I M E S K I P

    “（●＾o＾●）” said The Manager of the Museum as he stuck the broken statue fragments of the broken statue of the Museum of Interesting Plot Idea (well I think that what it was called Lmao I didn’t check don’t correct me doe lel)

    “It was’t very challenging at all doe…” said Sand Children. “And for a story with out name in the title, we did not seem to get much attention at all.”

    “Shut up you’ll get your moment later,” said the others pointing down to the rest of the story. “See look at that.”     “None of this is very good,” said Mike Hate, a man with no taste.

    They all went into their respective vehicles and drove away.

    “WAIT!!!!!!” said Dave Jone of the Monkees, pausing the time. “We did not resolve the plot point of us actually kidnapping Steven Stills?????”

    “Help me,” said Stepe.

    “STFU IT’S OUR STORY (◣_◢)” said the beach of the boys, so infuriated with them that smoke came out of their ears like a boiling kettle and their eyes started glowing red which indicated anger.

    “Oh ok sorry lel, he’s British Lol,” said Mike Nesmith.

    “STFU Myke Gessmith.”

    “;~;” said Mike Nukesmith.

    “Y do u guys always have to take the spotlight?!” asked the Beaky Bubs.

    “Bc we’re the author’s favourites, unfortunately,” said Micky, shivering at the memories of what had happened to them before in previous crack fics.

    “Sux for u lmao.”

    Uh how to end dis. Boom. Story done lel.

    THE END FADE TO BLACK

Stitches | Yoongi

genre: angst, smut, badboy!au warnings: oral sex, light teasing words: 4k summary: She knows what he does. She doesn’t like it, but she knows she will still pour him a shot and get the first aid kit when he comes home after a bad fight, no questions asked. But, everybody’s got their breaking point.

Her tired eyes shifted to the pivoting door knob at the sound of keys clattering on the other side. A delicate noise, yet it rung loudly against the backdrop of a vacant silence. Her gaze redirected to the clock on the wall whose hands read just past 3AM, eliciting a hefty sigh from her. She jadedly returned to the face appearing behind the door that quietly creaked open.

“Oh, you’re still awake,” a muttered comment fell from bruised lips, a discoloured patch on the cheek to pair.

She grudgingly eyed the ribbons of dried blood on his collar. Peeking from his jacket that he seemed to have indifferently draped on was a bare shoulder underneath a frayed cuff where his sleeve used to be, contrasting his other fully clothed shoulder.

“How can I sleep?” Aggravated murmurs rustled past gritted teeth. She rose from her slump on the couch.

Yoongi grimaced at the bitter atmosphere. Nonetheless, going through the muscle memory motions of a familiar routine, he took a seat on the chair she pulled out for him without another word.

The girl returned to his side, setting a shot glass down on the table next to him and tipping the bottle of whiskey in her hands until it was filled to the brim. Its sharp smell, although well acquainted, unsettled her just as much as the last time, and the time before that. She remembered a time when purchasing a bottle of whiskey was intended for her satisfaction too. Now, associated with an unpleasant situation, it was no longer a drink she could enjoy. She rested the cap back on the tip of the bottle’s neck, not quite spinning it closed knowing that a refill will shortly follow.

Retrieving the alcohol meant retrieving the first aid kit as well, as they were stored adjacent to one another on the same shelf. Nights like these has made the two a complementary duo. And so, reflexive hands unzipped the package and laid out its contents in a preferred order.

He only gained her low stare when he produced a hiss of pain to accompany the discomfort that twisted his face upon rigidly peeling off his jacket. Forced to slow the sharp hitch of a breath that dried in the back of her throat so that her dismay wasn’t as audibly brash, her eyes traced the band of crimson that trailed under his torn-off sleeve. The gash had stopped bleeding now, meaning that in a dark alleyway somewhere must’ve laid the now abandoned, red-stained fabric. She swallowed and bit her tongue to maintain her withholding speech.

By the time Yoongi had thrown back another shot, she had left and come back with a few ice cubes swaddled in a damp towel. She hovered the makeshift ice pack over the bruise on his face. “Hold it.”

A look of nonchalance played on in his expressions while he took the cold bundle, only to place it down on the table. “It’s fine, I don’t need it.”

He hadn’t a second to register the unforgiving click of her tongue before flinching when the icy sensation crushed against his purpled cheek without warning. “Hold it,” she repeated, introducing venom in her emphasis this time.

He sighed, replacing her hand with his over his cheek with a glower. A quiet huff later, she heaved down onto the corner of the chair pulled out next to him.

The accustomed routine that she was forced to call second nature manufactured itself as a new skill to her. She had gotten good at this. Hence, taking one begrudging look at the slash on his arm, the girl concluded that it required a stitched closure. She wouldn’t have had any notion that she would come to know her way around a suture kit quite well if it weren’t for him. Yet, she was far from grateful.

After briskly cleaning the minor scrape on the corner of his lip with a dampened Q-tip, she held a towel under the laceration on his bicep, her other hand drowning it in water from a squeeze bottle. She remained uninterrupted and unwavering when he flinched in response to the jolt of stings that followed. The knitted brows and clenched jaw were dismissed, and it was a fluid transition to the needle and thread for her.

Yoongi took another swig straight from the bottle to stifle the hiss that threatened to surface on his tongue as the needle pricked and weaved. She worked proficiently, quietly – too quietly. The silence was so dense and engulfing that it forced him to confront the palpable antagonism she was mutely emanating. He could’ve sworn her hands were working a little more crudely, that every harsher jab might have been intentional. Even if she refused to meet his eyes, he recognized that all light in her irises were extinguished by criticism. And despite her unmoving lips, it was as if she spelled out her resentment with every breath she took.

The exhaustion, the tattering ache that burdened every one of his limbs might’ve impaired the filter that meant to stop his irritation before it left his throat. “What?” he snarled, “What is it? Just come out with it.”

Her digits paused and shrill, strict eyes flickered up to him. Her mouth remained taut.

He scoffed, “Don’t look at me like that. I already know you’re mad. For what? None of this is new. We’ve been over this again and again and again. You already know what I do. You already know this is me.”

Yoongi always had a talent in delivering words severe with callousness without needing to raise his voice.

She straightened, her eyes narrowing with vexation. “I know, how do you think I got so good at this?”

The ice pack in his hand unsympathetically tossed onto the table. “Then what’s wrong?” he spat, and although low, he supplied the same mercy as a slap across the face.

Mirroring her escalating fury was her throbbing temples within a heated head. “Well fuck me, sorry I worry over someone I care about,” her words clawed out from behind gritted teeth. “Does it ever occur to you that you’re hurting me too?”

Taking a sharp inhale, he looked the other way before he could see the expression that must’ve accompanied those pained words. “Don’t lose sleep over me. I am completely capable of taking care of myself.”

His eyes fell shut in regret as soon as the words left his lips. He had meant that he didn’t want her staying up to see him like this either, but his undisciplined frustration twisted his words out to be more wounding than intended before they were prevented.

Her jaw went slack in bleak disbelief. A hefty huff of exasperation heaved from her now wrenching chest. Welling, stinging dews were inspired by the recollections of all the late nights she spent worrying and hurting, only for her to push it aside so she could tend to him. And then, the cycle would repeat without or a shred of penance, hesitation, just like it is now. So, it wasn’t worth anymore of her words, anymore of her time in this moment, because the same scenario will unfold again maybe even just weeks from now.

Swallowing down the discord of angry obscenities and spiteful disputes, she refused to spend anymore of her energy and yanked away from the last tied stitch on his arm. She threw down her tools and shot up from her seat, only allowing the stream of tears to fall once she stormed off the other way for the isolation of the bedroom.

“Shit,” Yoongi cursed under his breath, “wait.” Jolting up from his seat, he rushed to swing for the capture of her hand, but she departed too quickly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that!”

With an ungraceful hurry, he jerked his shoulder towards his mouth to clasp the stem of the remaining thread that had the needle holder still entwined at its end, dangling and swinging from his sutures. Cleaving it off with his teeth and lobbing it aside, he stumbled after her.

Her strides gained in haste and length as she was resolute in denying him the opportunity to talk his way out of it, like he’s always had before. It wasn’t enough, however, as he caught up to her just before their bedroom door and claimed a firm grip on her arm, not quite reeling her in yet certainly not letting her go.

“Let me explain,” he sighed with his tone softening to a pleading quality when registering the sight of her stained cheeks under shattered irises.

“No need, I heard you loud and clear. I’m not needed here.” She bit her tongue, hearing the vulnerable breakage in her voice that meant to deliver an unwavering antagonism.

He heard her tremors too, and a smothering weight collected in his chest. “I meant I hate you seeing me like this too.”

Her head spun away from him to keep him from watching the rest of her guard evaporate. “Then let me go. I’m going to bed.”

Yoongi’s clutch slackened only to immediately glide down to her fingers, securely tangling with them instead. “I don’t want us to go to bed mad at each other like this,” he persisted.

“Funny you’d think I’d even let you come to bed with me,” the girl scoffed belligerently before her wrists snapped in an attempt to loosen from his hold.

She gasped, plunged into disorientation when he lurched her towards him before she could escape. Other hand clasping onto her shoulder, he pushed and pinned her up against the wall behind her.

“I’m trying, can’t you see that? Is that not enough for you?” he contended, inches from her face and swathing her in his desperate, frustrated insistence. “Fuck, of course I know you hate what I do, all of this. But I do what I do so I can keep you as far away from it as possible. I would never let anything happen to you.”

His unfiltered, vehement expressions painted an image in her mind of all the knives he took to the hand, all the fists he took to the jaw, and how he’d do it over and over again if it meant she was never on its receiving end.

The consequent anxiety and grief collapsed in on her, and bringing her cupped hands to her mouth, she wept into them. “It’s not me that I’m worried about, you fucking idiot!” The surplus of erratic emotions translated into an unhindered tongue, and she winced at how foreign and bitter it tasted to demean him. She tremulously heaved in a breath to order her heated series of thoughts. “I know you’d do absolutely anything to keep me safe, but it’s you I’m scared for. You don’t call, you don’t text, nothing. You’re gone for hours on end into the night and I have no idea what kind of trouble you’re in this time. I can’t gauge at what point I can be sure that you have things under control, and at what point I should call the cops. And then from there, it’s a constant battle between the fear that I get you arrested and the even bigger fear that I’m too late and you’re already dead in a ditch.” Her eyes flowed even more irrepressibly to imitate the swelling passion in her tone. “Every time you’re gone without a warning, I have to sit alone and fight off the terrifying thought that tomorrow just might be the day your name and face is plastered all over the news. But they don’t paint you as the good person that I know and love; they’ll reduce you to a deviant, a criminal, who deserved everything that came for him. And I just can’t swallow that thought.”

The heavy sobbing left her breathless. Taking a pause to slow her respirations and gain some remnant of steadiness, her fingers glided up her face to wipe the torrent of tears. The outpour of hurt and anguish battered at him and withered the restraint he had on her shoulders. His palm planted above her on the wall now, and his head wilted low.

“I don’t know if I can take it anymore. How much longer can I handle this loneliness?” her voice had diminished to frail, wispy whimpers. “I’m so lonely, Yoongi.”

He swallowed, and down with it her projected distress and fright. An agonizing remorse colonized his extremities as he found himself in a setting of desolate isolation that her pained words illustrated. Being so determined in protecting her from getting hurt, he was sightless as to how he’s been hurting her. Just the thought of her blemished by gashes and bruises threatened to tear his chest open, how could he have not empathized with how she’s been feeling all this time. Over and over again did she have to stomach his endangerments and woundings, while biting her tongue as it continued to happen again and again. Without knowing, he’s been gradually eating at her strength. And now, all he wanted to do was embrace her tight and apologize to her endlessly.

“I’m sorry,” Yoongi pleaded. His head lifted trying to find her gaze, only for it to be clouded with a sorrowful and angry mist while directed the other way. His index and thumb travelled to caress her jaw and petition for her to look at him as he repeated, “I’ve hurt you. I’m sorry.”

Her face jerked away. “Don’t touch me,” she weakly muttered in between choked sniffles.

He implored once more, softly calling her name, fingers cradling the side of her face now. One word, but she felt the compelling sincerity and desperation for forgiveness that his tone packed. Tears welling once more, she shook her head in refusal, yet acknowledging that her defences were already dwindling. She didn’t push him away.

“Baby, look at me.”

“Yoongi, don’t—”

Digits nuzzling until they reached the nape of her neck, his other hand planted on the small of her back and drew her in until his nose grazed hers. “Look at me.” He guided her sight to lock with his. “I’ll be better,” his whispers were hardly audible, but the assurance and commitment echoed vibrantly in her ear. “I won’t hurt you anymore. I promise.”

Frustrations dissipating, she couldn’t find the strength to pull away from his gentle breaths that fondly tickled her skin. His touches were so soft yet enthrallingly warm, and anxious for the intimacy she’s been deprived of, she found herself leaning into his hold. She shuddered, tantalized, when his lips scarcely swept against hers. “I don’t ever want to lose you,” the girl feebly mewled.

He fully encaptured her in a kiss this time. “I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” Consumed by his longing to convey his infatuation for her, he was eager to remind himself of her intoxicating feeling and taste.

His husky voice was engulfing, and swimming in a heightened desire, her fingers zealously hugged his jaw to deepen the kiss. She sighed with bliss against his tongue when he murmured expressions of passion and infatuation.

“Ah,” Yoongi hissed in pain and pulled back, the pads of his digits gingerly dabbing the bruise on the corner of his mouth. She gasped an apology, to which he lightly chuckled in response, shaking his head in reassurance and quick to close their distance again.

“Mm, wait, Yoongi,” she tried to break away from his lips, only for him to press right back in. Between his caresses, she sighed, “It’s late and you’re hurt. You should get some rest.”

“Come here.” A keen growl and impatient hands had her thrusted back against the wall again. Lifting her leg, he guided her thigh in a hook around his hips to further dismiss their distance. A sharp breath carrying his name hitched in the back of her throat as he laid kisses and nips down the outline of her neck. “I want you so bad,” his low-ringing demand inspired quivers coursing throughout her entirety. “I want you so fucking bad. Right now.”

With his lips and teeth handling her roughly, the girl knew to desert any mode of resistance – Yoongi always worked tirelessly to get what he wanted. Consequently, when he avidly hiked up her nightshirt, she obliged by elevating her arms for a smooth glide off her figure and onto the floor.

Both hands grappling her thighs, he lifted her and set her weight on his waist as he carried her over to the couch. He threw her down, and before her vision could settle from the abrupt movements, he was already tearing her panties down her legs. Tugging his shirt over his head and abandoning it aside, he then immediately dipped down to clasp his mouth around her pebbling nipples. Gaze flicking up towards her, he dragged his proud smirk across her mounds at the way they fitfully fluttered up and down in rhythm with the trembling billows of air that filtered past her clamped down teeth.

His teeth continued raking down her abdomen. Gaining sight of her sex painted with trickling desire, he clicked his tongue with a sweltering eagerness. He latched onto the underside of her thighs and shoved her knees towards her chest, his rough clutches keeping them there. Wasting no time, his face closed in on her warmth, his mouth enveloping her slick lower lips and tongue snapping against her clit.

Quickly, he found himself inebriated, lapping at her taste with the knowledge that he made her as sopping as she was. The blended mewls of his name and moans of pleasure stringing from her throat heightened his hunger. “Fuck, kitten, you taste so good,” his husky growl shuddered off his lips and vibrated against her skin. He smugly chuckled at the twitching hips he earned in response. It didn’t inhibit him from continuing to abuse her slit with riveting strokes and her throbbing bud with relentless flickers. Fingers burrowed into the suppleness of her legs to hold them down as they thrashed, the consequent dragging fashioned red bands across her skin.

An escalating pressure pooled in her core. Her digits got lost in the locks of his hair, anxious for register. “No, wait, I’m close,” she whined, hardly coherent and more so relying instead on tugging his hair to stop him.

Despite grasping exactly what she wanted, to be filled by him, Yoongi teased, “Tell me what you want, baby.” Straightening up, he hovered over her yet continued baiting her with his two digits that he inserted and curled.

The girl whimpered in protest, thoughts in an exhilarated haze that she could only assemble a muttered “together”.

“Use your words. Beg,” he demanded, now pumping at an intensity that threatened to push her to climax.

She frantically squealed, “No, please. I want you to fuck me.” Desperately reaching up to claw at his collarbones in a plead, she gasped her words, “I want to come on your cock. I want you to fuck me so I can come on your cock, please.”

Yoongi hissed with a searing impatience, hand pulling away from between her thighs and grabbing at her hips to harshly lift and position her. A yelp fell from her lips in surprise as he threw her down once more and she found herself kneeled on the couch with her face flat on its back ledge. The clanging of his belt unbuckling and the rustling of his pants behind her as he hastily peeled them off made her swallow with an overwhelming yearning. Before she could raise her head to look back at him, his palm held her face down as he lined up the head of his shaft to her entrance. Easing in, a gratified groan threw his head back in elation to finally feel her wrapped around his pulsing member. There wasn’t much of a buffer before the consuming thirst had him hammering into her. She screamed with bliss into the cushions.

The warmth and slickness of her walls made for an easy pounding. Jaw slackened with heavy pants pushing in and out, his tongue swiped across his bottom lip as he was hypnotized by the sight of her in front of him. Her ass slapped with every one of his thrusts, her hips stuttered in trying to keep pace with him, her limbs quaked and jolted as they dug into the cushions. He basked in the resulting whines of his name, punctuated with curses and begs that warned of her oncoming climax. The clenching of her pulsating core made him fuck her harder, keen to see her completely unravel under him.

He claimed a fistful of hair at the back of her head and pulled her up as he continued to lunge into her, deep and quick, so he could hear her shriek as he grazed the bundle of nerves that sent waves of euphoria crashing through her.

Yoongi leaned down to cradle the shell of her ear with kisses and praises of how pretty she is when she comes. He pumped a few more times to let her ride our her high before he felt the onset of his own.

“Come in my mouth,” she entreated between choked breaths, “please.”

He smirked at the thought her drinking his cum. “On your knees, kitten,” he commanded, pulling out.

Obediently and quickly, she moved, descending to her knees in front of him as he sat on the couch. Stroking her hair and collecting it behind her head, he hummed with enjoyment as she took the crown of his dick onto her lips, tongue drawing generous spirals. Palming the base, her mouth moved down its length, tongue flattening on its underside now. She moaned softly enough to drape his shaft in invigorating vibrations as she sucked, splaying his taste across her cavity. The pleased hisses and hip jerks she was rewarded with stretched a smile on her lips as she continued bobbing up and down. His hand fisting her hair guided her to an amplified speed. Relishing in his furrowed brows, his parted lips that called her a good girl, and his thrusts off the couch to reach an unventured depth, her clasping fingers followed along the intensifying maneuvers of her mouth.

Pleasure engulfing his entirety and igniting his nerves, he chased his high. Muscles tensing and twitching, his rhythm staggered. A euphoric concoction of sounds wrenched his jaw open and she found it absolutely entrancing. One last powerful lunge sent ribbons of his cum across her tongue and dribbled down her face when she drew back to catch her breath. She giggled quietly, elated at the mess he made on her chin and her instilled lust that glazed over his irises.

Yoongi grinned amidst hefty pants at sight of her face being marked as his as he combed back the strands of hair matted to her forehead. He stretched to the side of the couch where a coffee table stood and drew a tissue from the box sitting on its surface. He dabbed the mess off her face before drawing her up to straddle him on the couch.

Wordlessly, he conveyed his praise and affection with the palm that cradled the side of her face and guided her closer until she was inches away. His thumb traced shapes against her jaw. He gazed at her in silence, as if to drink in the lingering bliss that she exuded, and to soak in the electrifying sensation of their bare, damp skin against each other. His gestures alone demonstrated of the gratitude he was immersed in to have her in front of him like this. He reaffirmed so as he spread delicate, tender pecks across her lips, making sure to nuzzle his nose against hers more frequently as they kissed.

“I’m not going to worry you anymore,” he whispered to confirm what his eyes already spoke of. “I’m not going to hurt you anymore.”

Soul Mate AU! Quentin B. / reader /w fluff 14? P.S.I love you write~

Sure thing love

Fluff 14 - “You’ve shown me what love can feel like.”

----------------------------------------------------

“Q? What’s wrong?” Y/N asked, turning around in their bedroom to see Quentin’s eyes locked on her from the bed.

“Nothing,” he promised, a soft smile pulling at his lips. “Nothing at all,” he whispered.

Y/N bit her lip and made her way over, pulling her hoodie over her head and falling onto their bed.

“What’s wrong?” She insisted.

“Really nothing,” he whispered, pressing their lips together softly.

“Q,” she whined and Quentin laughed quietly, kissing her again. 

“You’re so beautiful,” he told her, his fingers tracing over the tattoo on her shoulder that was an exact mirror image of his own.

“You’re pretty too,” Y/N giggled, her hand cupping his chin to bring his face closer to hers. “You really okay?” She asked.

He had had a particularly rough day - it being the day that Tony Stark fired him from his work. Quentin had come home in a fit of angry tears and Y/N had spend the last few hours soothing him as best she could with soft touches and sweet words crooned into his ear until she had successfully calmed him down.

“Yeah - I just... I just realised how much I love you, is all,” he confessed, shrugging, his cheeks tinting a little pink at the smile that lifted her cheeks.

“You’re so sweet,” she whispered, leaning over to kiss his nose.

“You’ve shown me what love can feel like,” he murmured, their lips brushing over one another.

“You’re the sweetest person ever, Q, I swear,” she chuckled, embarrassment at is adoring words clear on her face, her gaze dropping to the floor.

“I love you,” he told her, smile wide and genuine and Y/N giggled, kissing him again.

“I love you too.”

Finishing blurbs from my celebration!!

[jojotier]

for no particularly reason other than I’m feeling nostalgic for writing jjba fic and won’t have time to invest in it for a while, here’s a list of some plot points I’m excited to finally get to in my Forgotten Monarchs part 3.5 Kakyoin Lives au

- Kakyoin is fascinated by Granny Suzie Q spinning wool in the Italian fashion and she offers to show him how. He agrees, and as Suzie Q teaches him how, she asks Jotaro to go grab some wool from a hall closet- except Suzie’s butler (i don’t remember his name hjvkbjvf) tells him to wait and listen in. 

Suzie Q guides Kakyoin through the motions of spinning wool and finally warns him to leave as soon as possible, because Jotaro cares dearly for him. It’s the Joestar curse, she says- nearly everyone who gets too close dies horribly. Jotaro gets tired of listening and walks in with the wool, gritting his teeth. Granny Suzie doesn’t acknowledge that Jotaro might have heard, and Kakyoin seems thoughtful. 

Later, at the end, when Jotaro says Kakyoin doesn’t have to keep going- that he and the shitty old man will handle the rest of the stand users- Kakyoin punches him in the shoulder and chides him for talking nonsense. He’s there because he wants to be- and Jotaro isn’t getting rid of him that easy.

- Granny Suzie Q gets to make over Kakyoin. Kakyoin begs Jotaro for help with his eyes. Jotaro looks on in stony silence. Get fucking wrecked, Kakyoin.

- Joseph sees Speedwagon and his Granny Erina again, and there’s a tearful, temporary reunion. Granny Erina lays eyes on Jotaro and nearly cries from happiness, hugging him and telling him she’s proud. Joseph asks where Caesar is. Caesar isn’t there.

- A slightly surreal afterlife sequence where Erina walks a thin tightrope of wool, moving from her young self and into her elderly self as below her, her march through time is mirrored by Kakyoin, who still very much has his soul right where it belongs in his entire body thank you very much, is walking on the thin ropes of Hierophant to escape some of the rogue stand users while trying to get Jotaro’s soulless body to safety. 

- Jonathan finally meets Jotaro and later on, as Jotaro sinks into deep water, speaks over him as the waves wash by. “Jotaro, the world can be a harsh place. There are always going to be people spreading misery, and there will always be someone who doesn’t seem to deserve saving. But even then, despite that, you have the power to extend the kindness that they may sorely need, even in their darkest hour. Jotaro, you’re far more kind than you give yourself credit for… You protect people, not just because of obligation.”

“There may come a time when you may need to fight off an army to defend the ones you love. And the ones you don’t.  But Jotaro, know this- I know that you’re going to live a long life, despite that. It will be a life of strife and sacrifice- that much I’m certain of- but I know, deep to my very core, that it will be full. And that life will be full of love.” - I dreamt these words once, and I’ll be damned if I don’t use them

- Joseph knocks Kakyoin in the diaphragm to unlock his hamon and it mostly just has Kakyoin keeling over for like five minutes, wheezing out a strained “What the FUCK, MAN”

- Jotaro and Kakyoin both get drunk. So drunk. Kakyoin is the drunker of the two and leans in close, eyes focusing on Jotaro’s lips. Jotaro is just cognizant enough to realize what’s happening and stops breathing. “You have... such a pre’ty mout...” Is what Kakyoin gets out before tipping to the side and just passing the FUCK out. He is down for the goddamn count. Cue gay 90s panic

- The Queen of Swords realizes that Kakyoin seems to have no foreseeable future and freaks the hell out, deciding to put him on trial for “witchcraft”. With the five of swords stand, from the fog comes the images of two “witnesses” against Kakyoin- the Mannish Baby, now a toddler, and DIO, who glares balefully at Kakyoin. Jotaro is meant to be a defense for Kakyoin, but his words keep being twisted to make it seem as if Kakyoin had been manipulating him throughout Egypt, or else was “enchanted”. Kakyoin is found “guilty”.

As things spiral into chaos and a phantom crowd of seeming innocents start screaming and crying from dangers being manifested in the mist, Kakyoin attempts to save them. They all cower away, screaming at the sight of him, and it’s unclear why until a second version of Kakyoin rises from the mist, soaked in blood. At first, he seems to have DIO’s fleshbud in him- then he tears it out and grins. Then the phantom crowd isn’t much of a crowd anymore, as they’re cut down one by one, reaching for Jotaro to save them. Kakyoin steps forward and passes through his mistmade self, reaching out for Jotaro as well.

Jotaro takes one single, hesitant step back.

And then, Kakyoin remembers.

- During a fight with the King of Swords, Kakyoin finally taps into some rather weak hamon ability.

- Joseph is young for one night and one night only, restoring him to the prime of his hamon. 

- Joseph takes the boys to Lisa Lisa to train, and to reconcile with her. The reason why Holly was never taught hamon is that Joseph and his mother had a falling out some years ago, because Joseph didn’t want Holly to be raised around violence of any sort- even the kind meant for self-defense. Jotaro takes the hamon lessons incredibly well, like a fish to water (lol). Kakyoin, on the other hand, struggles mightily, and it’s made all the worse by Lisa Lisa’s special instruction for him- “Until you can beat me in a fight using only hamon, you must not summon Hierophant Green. Until you master hamon, you cannot allow your stand to be visible, even for mundane, noncombative purposes.”

- The case in Brazil is explored, and Caesar is seemingly back from the dead! 

- After a little Brazilian girl by the name of Asha gets accidentally swept up in shenanigans, Kakyoin (now without scars or memory of Dio) and Jotaro try to protect her while looking for the stand. They eventually find the little water stand and prepare to attack- until little Asha wiggles free from their grasp and throws herself in front of the stand, arms arcing out. “You can’t hurt her! She’s my friend!”

- As it turns out, the stand user granting wishes in this Brazilian town was the nine year old girl- and it wasn’t a conscious effort at all. With her stand, True Colors, the stand itself chose what innermost wishes to make come true, including [REDACTED] and Kakyoin’s memory of DIO disappearing. 

Eventually, they manage to get through to her, and her stand undoes all the wishes it’s made. She turns to face her parents, coming to embrace her, and...

- Holly appears by the beginning of the second chapter! :D

- By the fourth chapter, Holly... ;c

- I still wanna have a Jotaro and Kakyoin fusion somewhere in here and None Of Y’All can stop me
