SEMIFINAL 2

(ROUND 3 SIDE B, MATCH 1)

Ojiro Mashirao/Hagakure Tooru

1a has almost no straight ships lol, (not including kamijiro, and dekuchaco because they’re too gay to be straight plus I ship them with other characters more) also Ojiro and Hagakure are both semi boring compared to the rest of the class and hence deserve to be together. Also, somehow, Ojiro just gives REALLY STRAIGHT VIBES

-

Him and Hagakure are the most background couple, yet they also seem to be very sweet together and balance out. Her outgoing energy seems to be on the wavelength as his more

calmer demeanor. 

-

they’re like halfway canon and also i think they would be cute. they’re probably the most normal couple in 1a

-

Look, Ojitoru has been one of my OTP next to Kamijirou since I became OBSESSED with this anime back in 2020

I have always loved everything about them together from the canon where they talk a lot and have been seen being friends almost from the beginning to the majority of collective headcanons about them. Like how  they balance each other out or how Ojiro lets Hagakure drag him in her shenanigans. Ojitoru is literally the song “Just the Way You Are” and I think that’s beautiful <3

When we didn’t know how Hagakure looked I was a firm believer that he had a crush even without having seen her because of her voice and personality. That he would be the only one to care enough to know her moods based on the movement of his corporal language. And Ojiro would make sure everyday of his life that Hagakure knows how lucky he is and how much he loves her. And that we know how she looks? MAN he is going to be whip for the rest of his life because she is gorgeous (and please someone give my girls some clothes thanks)

Hagakure has always been supportive and she has tried to make Ojiro understand that his quirk and him are perfect and interesting even if he doesn’t realize it. She would make a point of showing him as much as she can. Also she would remind him how HOT he is, because I’m a firm believer that Hagakure loves how Ojiro looks and she considers him HOT AS FUCK. 

In conclusion, I think that they are too underrated, need more appreciation (and fics we DEFINITELY need more fics) AND PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!!!!!!

OJITORU FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

Ojiro Mashirao/Shinsou Hitoshi/Kaminari Denki

Look, I love Ojikami and I love Shinkami so why choose?? Ojiro has two hands!!! (Well technically Kaminari has two hands BUT details)

In my head the story goes like this:

Ojiro and Kaminari start to date but in an open-relationship situation, which he mostly only uses to sometimes makeout with people and Ojiro really doesn’t mind. BUT then Shinso appears and Kaminri strats to make out with him in EVERY SINGLE PARTY so Ojiro feels somewhat left out BUT mostly he just misses sharing time with his BF in the few parties that he attends. SO he decides to go to the two of them and starts giving kisses to Kaminari from behind and Sparky starts to make out with both of them at the same time. Which ends up with Shinso and Ojiro ALSO making out. Fast forward a few months and the three of them are a unit to the point that it doesn’t make sense that Shinso is not officially part of this relationship… AND VOILA POLYCULE OF 3 (yes I have been meaning to write the fic BUT I don’t have that much time okay :c)

Shinso would be the brain, Kaminari the heart and Ojiro the muscle

In conclusion, they are in love, your honor!!

A, F, H, O, S, Z ❤️

A. OTPs I currently like a lot

I'm back on my Shakarian bullshit (Garrus/Shepard of Mass Effect), but have no plans to write anything (yet), and I'm still brainstorming a million Blackice fics! Also Sefikura (Sephiroth/Cloud), and Megop (Megatron/Optimus Prime) is also threatening to take over, but i dont have the energy to read comics anymore. No other ships at this moment, but i do still have pompous pep in the back of my mind with no plans to write anything

F. What's the longest you've ever been in a fandom?

Oh boy lol

I've been in so many fandoms since I was 12, and have revisited some of the more enduring, including Yugioh, Mass Effect, Danny Phantom, Kingdom Hearts, Invader Zim. I've been a KH fan since I first saw the trailer for the first game, but not very involved in fan-created spaces. I've also been a DP fan since it first aired with a decade long hiatus from it before recently returning, and gen1 YGO and Invader Zim were shows I deeply adored as a teen, but don't really revisit anymore, despite holding them dearly in my heart. I've been a Mass Effect fan since about 2014 or so, and generally dip in and out of that between hyperfixations (like now). Once upon a time, I was a big Attack on Titan fan for about 8 months straight (which is a long time for one hyperfixation to last for me), and Rise of the Guardians has been my most recent fandom and hyperfixation that has last almost 3 years now, and has become extremely precious media to me.

H. What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff?

Probably movies, followed closely by western animation and shows that have actually completed their run, then video games. I like the source to actually be done and over with before getting too deep into a fandom (i obviously can't always control this) because then I don't have to worry about any new information and canon I may need to incorporate into personal headcanons and such and can instead build my love for the thing more organically. I'm not super big on fan-theories or speculation of "what-ifs" and "maybe's" because I just don't have the energy to think that far ahead. I like guessing as much as the next person, but no more than past a "Wouldn't it be neat if-" and leave it at that.

O. Choose a random song. What ship/character comes to mind?

E.T., covered by Alex Goot, and this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one, but Blackice. But also im reminded of Jimitri and my fic for them

S. Show an example of your personal headcanon

(I don't have the time to do a prompt atm, I'm sorry! I plan to revisit this at some point tho!)

In the modern AU, Pitch has an injury on right side from his previous military service. This has affected his mobility in his shoulder and most of his arm, resulting in stiffness on good days, and muscles fully locking up on bad ones. He wears a brace every now and then, and often follows a pt regimen to keep his mobility up. Every now and then Jack will notice him subconsciously rubbing the spot and will guide Pitch down next to him to offer to massage the area. This helps relax Pitch and keeps his joints and muscles from locking up. Also he just really likes Jack's massages and Jack likes doing this for him.

Z. Ramble about something fan-related

My brain is soup rn, I'm sorry to say I need specifics lol

[sparklylovegiver]

For the otp ask, 28 👉🏻👈🏻

Okay but i was actually think about doing this one babes 🤭

****

Obviously this is kinda smutty but not super explicit. Rated R guys.

There was probably something very wrong with him for Micah to be staring at them right now. It was literally just a crop top, people wore them all the time, but he had never seen Spark in one. The ship was too cold, they always wore long sleeves and high collars, but the ship had set down and it was hot, the air sticking to his skin. Their jacket had been tucked in their bag hours ago, shirt tied up and pants cuffed and he couldn't take his eyes off them. Toned muscles down their arms and chest, Micah could remember tracing them with his tongue just a few days ago and he wanted to again. He wanted to take them back to that waterfall had found a few hours ago and steal an hour of just the two of them.

He tried to focus on collecting the samples they were supposed to get, mentally checking off the repairs that would be needed once they got back to Voyager, but Spark stopped, they pulled their hair up into a barrette and he wanted to trail his lips down their neck. He had never met a race whose sweat was actually sweet but he knew the thin layer on their body would be like honey. Micah turned away, trying and failing to distract himself as he remembered those little sighs they let out last time. Their warm hands had traced his chest and arm, their lips just behind, Micah letting them exercise their curiosity as they sat on his lap.

He could picture them sitting there again, their heat always made him draw them close, like they carried a little part of summer inside them. Pulling them into his lap was like pulling that summer fun back into his life. Spark loved to kiss him anywhere they could and he was already looking forward to getting back to the ship for another round of their adventuring. Another round of letting them explore touching him, or, just as exciting, touching them, finding all those little spots that made them moan and gasp like they never got to before.

“Curious time to be thinking about sex.” Their voice snaps him from his thoughts and he turns. Their hair still up, looking up at him as they lean against one of the trees, smirking. Oh he wanted to fuck them against that damn tree. He tries to form a defence but they giggle, stepping over to him, leaning up on to their toes. “You'll have to tell me the thoughts later.” they kiss him on the cheek, walking away before his brain could catch up. He chuckled, of course they would like that. His dirty thoughts whispered in their ear as his hands traced their body. Oh he would definitely be telling them everything later.

AAAAAAAAAAA YOUR DICKJOYFIRE FIC????? OMG IM ON MY KNEES. i love kory and Jay and i grew fond of jayroy and jaydick is my absolute OTP and aaaaaaa. Your brain is justtttt. OmG i love all that you write. Would you consider writing more about the four of them together? Smothering Jay with love and him being the maiden heart he is♡

Anyways, im really a fan of your fics they are awesome

Ahhhhh, you're always so delightful @alexandraisapenguin thank you so much. ///u/// This turned out to be more general ot4 though ;u;

Gym Shenanigans

Friendly competition between the four of them that's really just the boys taunting and challenging one another and being motivating in all their dumbness.

And Kory is so fond as she smokes all of them. Scorched earth policy, sorry boys. ;)

But it's all good because the three of them are so (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) because wowie hot damn, look at their girlfriend go.

Something something they all benchpress each other and Jason loses it each time when all of them do him. Which omg what? Hot? Help?

Dick being the first though and it takes so much coaxing and Dick swears he's got this. Which he does. It's only a few reps, anyhow. Still, the moment Dick presses Jason up, Jason panics and flails and ends up throwing himself out of Dick's hold and landing on his chest and Dick wheezes because oh god. Meanwhile Kory and Roy are !!! because whoops, spotting is a thing and Jason is mortified forever because again, omg.

But Dick just laughs through his wheezing and holds Jason to him before he can run off and Jason is sweet and blushy as he hides in Dick's chest and it's cute.

Speaking of chests - Roy marveling Jason's pecs. Like how you can catch glimpses of it through the low cut of Jason's sleeves. Dick following suit once he notices Roy's staring. And Kory following along not long after and wow, she thinks she understands the infatuation with breasts now. Amazing.

Jason spitting and sputtering because wth Kory //A///

Kory saddling up next to her baby boy and comparing chests and laughing because it's impressive! Has Jason ever tried to hold anything in his cleavage? So convenient. Also-

(Also, unrelated thought: Jason laying on top of Kory and their chests being smushed together and Dick and Roy just blatantly staring until they're called out and it's ahahahha)

General muscle appreciation. Like Roy's back. Roy basking in the attention but also being sweetly sheepish about it. Just something with him waving them off and being all, 'oh stop, guys,' then promptly flexing his back muscles. Dorky sweetness and cute flirting ahhhhhhh.

But wait. Dick getting stared at and objectified by other gym goers because he's beautiful handsome gorgeous. And while it's uncomfortable, he deals. Nothing new, right?

Only Jason puffs up and is ready to throw down, just sending the nastiest glares and snarls at men and women alike. He's got Kory right there backing him up too while Roy uses his impressive back to act as a screen and the combination of it all lightens Dick's mood so much and he loves them all dearly. ;U;

Sauna. Where Kory basks in the heat and unintentionally raises the temp until her boys are toasted and she has to drag them out and fan them back to safe temps.

Shower. Where Kory suggests showering together and yeah, sure. Only Jason bails out of embarrassment, maiden at heart that he is.

[wanderingaldecaldo]

*lightspeed powerwalk into your ask box for the soft OTP prompts* 3 or 10 with Val/Ros, if any of these two strike you fancy? 💕

Thank youuuu @blackrevell for the ask from the soft prompts!

I was sure that I was going to write 10 (getting ready in the morning) then I had an idea and it possessed me and I had to exorcise it. I reserve the right to also write 10 later. ☺️

3- Write about your ship holding hands in a tense moment.

Outside the unbreakable window panes, heavy shadows dance and loom as the wind whips the trees back and forth along the South Lawn. There are at least a dozen Federal Secret Service agents outside blending into the shadows. Inside, the flashing red, white, and blue of the screens reflect off the windows and obscure the darkness, the cascade of colors on the glass mirroring the cacophony behind her. The flashing colors coalesce into her own face, then melt into that of her challenger.

President Rosalind Myers stares out the window, seeing nothing as her thumb presses into the metacarpals of her left hand, digging into the tender muscles. The hand has twinged more often recently. She should talk to her surgeon about it, but a lifetime of repressing weakness makes her reticent. Val wouldn’t approve.

Behind her the door sighs open and a glance over her shoulder confirms the entrant as the only person who would dare interrupt tonight’s vigil, then she returns her attention to the window. A click, and the room darkens and falls silent as Val turns off the screens.

“No reason to listen to that scop,” she says quietly, a gentle hand resting between her shoulder blades.

Rosalind leans back into her touch, and strong arms wrap around her waist and pull her tight. Val leans down, rests her head on Rosalind’s shoulder, and she covers Val’s hands with her own.

“You’re probably right.”

“Probably?” Val laughs and presses a kiss to her temple. “Know I am. Shit’ll rot your brain.”

She hums a laugh and turns to look at her most ardent supporter. Dogtown feels like yesterday, but then she sees the fine spiderwebs gathered in the corners of Val’s eyes, the worry lines that have begun to etch themselves on her forehead, the grey hairs that have started to grow into her always sharp fade haircut. Rosalind doesn’t feel old until she sees the last decade reflected on her lover’s face.

She raises her hand, fingertips trailing along the buzzed hair above Val’s ear to the cold metal netrunner port at the back of her head, then twists and pulls her down for a kiss. When they part, Val turns Ros to face her and links their hands, twining their fingers together.

“Whatever happens, ’m with you. Know that, right?” 

Rosalind nods. Ever her loyal merc.

“After the results...” Rosalind trails off. “If they send someone—”

Val interrupts before she can even finish the thought. “Have to deal with me first. Saved you once before. Save you as many times as it takes.”

Her chest tightens and her eyebrows draw together as she gazes up at Val, at the woman who pledged her heart and life to her. She hopes it doesn’t come to that; she knows they won’t stop coming for her, but as long as they are together....

Chest tightening again, she blinks as she feels the sting behind her eyes. She frees one hand and traces the gold cyberware along Val’s cheek then cups it and pulls her down for a soft kiss.

“You’ve already saved me more than you know.”

[nepholog]

i know my obscure legacy in the fandom is that one dude who made fuckass Jerma x DE! gifs (more will come soon, taking a bit of a break because i mated everything–), but i think i'm allowed to ramble about my otps, right??

anyways, very disorganized Paper Shuttle thoughts!! (Dunk x Penelope), might contain spoilers for their stories

okay, okay, I honestly imagine this is how they get to know each other and become closer: a pencil or something fell out of MC's pocket, Penelope fell and her back hurts, Dunk popped out to introduce himself, could probably tell how her muscles are stiff (with how much of an athlete he is and how solid his advice is when it comes to rest and taking care of your body, I can see him also knowing a thing or two about massages and physical therapy badics), offered her tips to relieve it and invited her for a yoga sesh (no i am not projecting my back problems onto Penelope because she's an amalgamation of an office worker hahaha eaht are you talking about)

Penelope accepts because girlypop thinks the guy's hot and desperately wants to impress him, ends up enjoying it with how Dunk is supportive of her progress while not being too pushy (thank *God* he's not trying to kill her or breaks down crying), and it ends up becoming a regular thing

They start to get to know each other, at some point Penelope's physical health improves, she starts to express interest in more sports and they settle on badminton and the rest is history :)

honestly I think that Penelope was the one to ask him out first!! they're both soooo oblivious it's infuriating(Dante is cheering in the background)

Dunk is immune to any flirting until you say it straight (even THEN his mind makes mental gymnastics because that's how his himbo brain works)

And Penelope unfortunately has enough of a low self-esteem to take a minute to realize when someone tries to hit on her and then brushes it off as a joke

But in the end I think through these sessions Penelope gains enough confidence but ultimately carried through the sheer adrenaline of her anxiety as she asks him out (i imagine her yelling out 'DO YOU WANT TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND' to him figifodod)

first things first: they make fuckass motivational posters together!! That's canon to me

okay but imagine them taking a soak together in a bath with epsom salts to relax the sore muscles!! them doing spa days with cucumbers and stuff!!

Dunk isn't the reading type, but he'll try to read an issue or two of Office Romance Magazine! he doesn't really get why Penny likes it so much but as long as she has fun with it :)

i reckon Penelope becomes really good at badminton (she looks like the type to me tbh) and Dunk is ready to leap from joy!! she recites motivational sports quotes to Dunk and he swoons!! It was already mentioned in canon that he finds positive attitude extremely attractive and Penelope is nothing but positive even if she fails in he romantic pursuits and it would definitely translate to their workout sessions

i think Penelope would be the protein powder/green smoothie drinker of the two 😭

holy shit couple yoga!!! Dunk would be sooo careful with Penny as they try different poses together, especially the ones where her balance completely depends on him. Dunk would be so happy that she trusts him that much :(

When Penny tries the exercise ball, Dunk becomes so giddy!!! He's giggling like a little kid as he helps her maintain her balance

[steamworksfairy]

Thank you for stopping by, Butter 💚 Let me just sprinkle some salt into your tea cuz things are about to get salty🧂 /lh

1. What are OTPs in your fandoms do you just not get?

Tbh Reborn/Skull. They don't really do much for me in terms of shipping and they clog up the Verde tag on ao3. I check that tag daily (I don't have a problem) and sometimes it'll just feel like that's all there is. I don't mind them so much in Arco/Arco because I read those for Verde and ALL the ship dynamics, but sometimes even those fics feel oversaturated with Reborn/Skull. It's basically just a "too much of this and they're not my blorbo" kind of thing. I don't hate them, but my brain does turn off when people try to talk to me about them. It's the same with XS tbh. If I see it too much my brain clicks off. I like variety and unless somethings reached fave status, it can be hard to engage.

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

Nope! I'd be pretty disappointed in myself if I let something like fandom ruin my enjoyment of things. I'm the master of my own experience and if I find myself hating on something it just means I need a break or if I want to flex my creative muscles, write that ship and discover what I like about them. I did that for Reborn/Skull once or twice for an Arco/Arco fic or two. They may not be my favorite but with the right tropes I can find enjoyment in them.

22. Popular character you hate?

Okay so I don't really hate any khr characters but if I had to choose Hibari does frusterate me sometimes. Imagine, you're doing your duedilligence to try to understand a character and the character gives you nothing concrete to latch onto. He's not as violent as people in fandom sometimes make him but he's also not UwU. He's a secret third thing I plan to crack one day🔬👀/lh

No but fr, those who get Hibari , what are his secrets?!!!! What is he?!!!

[isleofair]

Obv I have to ask you about Nathan.

Ohgodohgodohgod

Thank you, my dear, for yet another chance to rant about Nathan 🥺🙏😍💖

First impression:

From the pilot episode: cool and competent (but not my thing, fire and cars and muscles? Naaah) -> GAY. VERY GAY OH WOW SO VERY GAY -> oh no, we're dealing with Stereotypical Bad Anime Gay dammit 😭😭😭

Impression now:

She's wonderful she's amazing she's the love of my life they're everything to me there is no character like her in all of history she has rewritten my brain completely I can no longer live without them I will love and adore and treasure her forever and ever amen. 😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖

Favorite moment:

The full amount of feelings I have about this whole scene cannot be expressed, but I picked this one image of her embracing all the parts of herself that still sat a bit jagged on the inside, and were trying to hurt her, and saving herself with acceptance and love.

Just... yeah. 💖🥺💖

Idea for a story:

*glances at overflowing WIP/notes folder*

Uhhh... any of those? For this, let's mention the AU one where the heroes are F1 drivers and Nathan owns their own racing team.

Unpopular opinion:

She's hotter than Kotetsu 😜

No, okay, jokes aside, I don't know that any of my opinions about her are unpopular? I guess the one people might disagree more with is that I wish she had a different haircut (I don't love her current one).

Favorite relationship:

*waves helplessly at the pile of FireSky fanfic on her AO3 profile*

It's the one with Keith, of course. OTP for life. ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜

Favorite headcanon:

For a long time, it was that Nathan doesn't feel cold because of her power. Which might still be (partially) true, given how light her clothes always look, but of course, what she's canonically physically immune to is heat. (And I feel bad about getting this one a tiny bit wrong in a couple of my stories.) So now my new favorite headcanon is that, based on all of my crazy math, they and Keith debuted as heroes in the same season, and as rookies they were both, like, raw cookie dough versions of their current selves, and many funny and/or cute shenanigans ensued because of how different they were 😂

(the ask game, in case anyone wants to play!)

[dangermousie]

The fact that there isn't just one but TWO airing Turkish shows about big bad mob men who will do anything to keep their damaged OTP who keeps saying she doesn't want them tho she does is a gift from god.

The way Farah, abused and mistreated by her monster of an ex keeps lying she's happy and etc etc to be with her kid but also to protect Tahir who the monster threatened to kill mmmmm...

She says she turned him in to the cops, this is after she demanded divorce, and he still won't believe.

He still finds her and begs begs begs her to tell him the truth, because he knows she would not be like that and it's just...

Like he's BEGGING! Turkish shows know there is nothing more delicious than a 6'3 wall of muscle killer utterly destroyed by and for one delicate woman mmmmmm.

And she brains him and leaves, calling him "my only love" and aaaaa the DELICIOUSNESS IS BEYOND!!!!

ROUND 1 SIDE B

MATCH 9

Kendou Itsuka/Kirishima Ejirou

Look, I’m going to be honest Tetsukendo is my OTP and considering that Kirishima and Tetsutetsu are almost identical… I ship it, they will be cute together and she would definitively be the brain of the relationship (can you tell that I’m a Kiribaku fan? Yeah me too). Anyway the potential is there!!! 

Kendou Itsuka/Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

Look, someone beat me in submitting one of my Class 1B OTP but didn't present the campaign so I'm making it!!! Because. Oh. My. God. They are perfect for each other!! They are the Kiribaku of class 1B and I'm dying in this hill. The same and the muscle, the heart and head, they are the perfect balance. Also we have seen of Tetstetsu is always supporting and cheering Kendo around and how even if she cares for all of them, she takes special care of Tetstetsu. They are in love your honor, they just haven't realized it yet!!! Tetsukendo 1B MVP

Kendou Itsuka/Kirishima Ejirou: Me :D

Kendou Itsuka/Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu: @pionoahm

[queerofcups]

trying my luck with "you & your perfect girl"?

ok, so i'm trying out the tactic of just writing when it/what comes up and I'm sure I will have more thoughts on abortion in the coming months [insert mournful laugh here], but have 900 words of smut that I cut from the story but is definitely scaffolding that'll probably come up again. after this jack shakes it off and is like yeah, that probably doesn't reflect anything about my mental state or self-worth. jack/self-loathing/well-paid sex workers is my check please otp maybe

“Harder,” Jack says, between the thick leather between his teeth. The man, Carlo, doesn’t speak much English--that’s usually the case with the service Jack uses--but he understands this, and grunts as he redoubles his efforts to fuck Jack through the too soft mattress. 

Carlo is just like Jack likes them, broad shouldered and big handed. He’s almost too pretty, thick eyebrows manicured just enough for Jack to think about sending him back with a tip and a no thank you. 

But he’d shoved Jack into the thick wall of the penthouse right after he’d walked in the door, and the belt between Jack’s teeth had been his idea too. Jack had been halfway hard already with the thought of a man waiting on the other side of his door, and Carlo had gotten him there, cock bloodhot and throbbing, in a few minutes. 

Jack’s simple, he thinks. He’s got three requests for all the men that meet him in this hotel--and it's the same pleasantly trendy hotel with thick walls and too-soft beds in every city--and they’re all easy to follow. 

Fuck him hard. 

Come in him. 

Make it hurt. 

Carlo’s nails are short, but sharp and they dig into the meaty muscle of Jack’s ass, dragging him back from where ever his brain wants to go. Jack hisses and shoves back, just to feel the way Carlo stumbles but doesn’t move. He’s relentless, thick inside of Jack, hips close and hands everywhere. Jack can hardly breathe for the pressure of him, pressing Jack into the wall, pinching Jack’s skin between his knuckles, shoving in and in and in. 

Jack thinks, errantly, of being set on fire. The sudden absence of oxygen, the white and red slash of synapses firing. He thinks of his skin curling away and when Carlo yanks his head back to bury his teeth in Jack’s neck, his fingers curl into fists and he stares into the white, white ceiling of the room. 

“Come in me,” he barks, and then again, “Fucking do it, come in me.” 

He knows that other people like to talk. He’s had men come over who want to call him things, want to call him a bitch, or a faggot, or worse things. Probably, it hurts and humiliates and burns hot and bright for other men who want to hide the things they want. It’s water cooler chat to Jack, the kind of thing he’s said to guys on the ice who begrudgingly buy his whole team shots later. 

And still Jack’s chest blooms red, and he wants to cringe away when Carlo laughs and asks him, in thickly accented French, if that’s what’s what he wants. If he’s sure. 

“I’m not a bitch,” Jack grouses and arches his back up, clenches. He doesn’t know Carlo, doesn’t care if it's his real name. He can’t place his accent, hadn’t gotten a good look at the tattoos that wrap around his arms.

“Fucking come in me,” Jack says, and shoves his hips back, fucking up Carlo’s rhythm, forcing himself to take control of this encounter. It’s what he paid for, it's what he wants. 

And Carlo, bless him, does his job beautifully. He shoves Jack’s head forward, into the wall, just hard enough to hurt. He bends Jack’s arm back, behind him, and up, pulling him off balance. He shoves Jack forward, forward until he’s pressed against the wall, and it's impossible to ignore how hard he is. 

And he coos at Jack in broken French, asking him why he wants to be Carlo’s bitch, why he let a stranger in his room, in his body, if he didn’t want it so badly. Why he’s just like every other white man Carlo fucks, why they can’t just be real men and fuck like they want to, instead of paying for it.

Jack’s shoulder burns, his neck hurts from the way it's arched, his knee aches and he’s pressed against the wall, over and over again, and he’s wasting precious air to sob out, swearing again and again that he’s not a bitch, he’s not, he’s not, he’s not. 

Carlo comes grunting, once loud and then short, breathy little thumps of noise. Jack feels it all, sudden wetness, the thrumming of Carlo’s hips against his ass, the immediate, crashing strike of mortification. 

Jack is still hard, he’ll be hard until Carlo has a second to catch his breath, pop a pill maybe. He’ll be hard until he’s overstimulated, his asshole sore and his cock gone soft and hard again. Carlo will come until he can’t anymore, and then he’ll leave, pleased with whatever money Jack sends him, because Jack always overtips. 

Jack will lay in his pristine, unmussed sheets and think about this first moment and the feeling of come leaking out of him. He will press his eyes closed, tight enough to transport him somewhere else and when he finally comes, it will hardly matter. 

He’ll get cleaned up, and open the paper bag he’d picked up from the pharmacy a few hours before Carlo came over. He’ll open the package and pop a pill and he’ll think about what he wants from dinner. 

He’ll text Bitty, thumbing a heart onto his message, a reminder that Jack will be home the day after tomorrow. 

Night will fall and Jack will open and swipe through apps, dumb phone games and hook up apps. Hovers over profiles that offer bareback, faceless profiles offering pictures of every kind of cock he might want. He’ll feel the phantom sensation of Carlo and he’ll text Bitty one more time before he falls asleep.

Amazed that only two ships from here are not my cup of tea haha.

And for my stand, as much as I love Tamlin and Lucien... I gotta go with my OTP: Rhysand/Tamlin, Tamsand for the win (of my heart).

Ready for some rambling and why they are the best (for me)? Here we go! (Under the cut, because I RANTED A LOT fsdfsdfsdF)

Friends to Lovers to Enemy? Check.

Love turned to Hate and Obsession and Indifference? Check.

Two faces of the same coin? Check.

The hero turned "villain" x The villain turned "hero"? Check.

Friends(past lovers) turned enemies who end up loving the same girl? Check.

Sun and Moon? Light and Shadow? Life and Death? Check.

Trickster x Trickster, one who always loses, while the other always wins, but it isn't enough, because he's not by his side? Check.

The freedom of their times together, before all the blood and responsibilities hit them. Their friends and families didn't want them to be together, BUT THEY STILL DID. Not knowing why, Rhysand? YOU LIAR! The gifts? The teachings? THE STARLIGHT POOL? The sharing secrets? THE TRUST IN EACH OTHER? HIS FATHER WAS WORSE THAN BERON. Rhysand knowing all about Tamlin and showing him everything? They saw/see the other as what they were/are? So, is the mask really down then? Tamlin asking this while seeing Rhysand's wings out in the open because HE KNOWS? CHECK.

How they had a "hand" in killing their respective family and turned High Lords at the same t i m e. Facing each other, locking eyes while the shadows were adorning Rhysand and a gold aura Tamlin? CHECK.

Like a lover? Who do you think taught him? Kneel? His green eyes? His muscles were thinner than before? "Eat, Tamlin"? He wants him dead, but he feels something hollow in his stomach? I'M SORRY? Rhysand's obsession with Tamlin, the way he can't let him go while Tamlin is like: you, again (even though he still had with him, FOR CENTURIES, the Illyrian blades)? Weren't we even? Haven't you got everything you wanted? YOU WON, you got your mate (my fiancée) isn't that enough? N O. CHECK.

They just scratch a side of my brain that makes me FERAL. So yeah, Tamcien is in second place (in my heart), and the other ships (minus two, lol) I like them too, but for me, it's Rhysand/Tamlin.

Are they the best for each other? MHM, Probably not really, but would I argue and say yes? Yes, especially depending on the circumstances, but most importantly: they are for me. uu♥

Happy Valentines Day from Tamlin Week!

Not only is today a holiday celebrating love, but it is now officially 2 months until Tamlin Week starts! We can't wait to see what you all are working on! In the spirit of the holiday, we're wondering:

Defend your choice in the replies, reblogs, or tags! We do accept propaganda for your ship, as long as we all keep it civil!
