#Summer is a time for goofs but it's also a time for The Horrors

[muse-soup]

((Part of me craves lighthearted summer shenanigans. The other part of me has been binging Dark Souls lore videos and Silent Hill retrospectives. All of me desires adventure and intrigue. >:3c))

[brotherwtf]

the whole thing of austin doing pottery and making callum an ashtray had me immediately thinking of john & gale doing pottery together on a date. what kind of dates do you think they’d enjoy going on together or they’d like to plan?

oh my God so cute anon!

John and Gale would DEFINITELY do pottery together, I feel like Gale would take it super serious and John would be trying to do the scene from "Ghost" the whole time. Gale would eventually have to banish him back to his pottery wheel just so he can get smth done.

I feel like John would take Gale to Lake Michigan if they lived in Wisconsin, they would spend a day out there with John goofing in the water and Gale watching him fondly from the beach. At the end of the day they would walk along the shore and hold hands, talking about everything and nothing

They would go to the movies together, I feel like John really likes those cheesy romcoms while Gale likes scifi movies. There's always something playing at the theater that interests them. I have this cute idea where they're both huge wimps when it comes to horror, so they spend Halloween night cuddled under a blanket and trying not to freak the fuck out as they watch a horror film that Curt recommended (they'll beat his ass for it later)

Gale likes to take John horseback riding; there's a place that offers trail riding near them and they go almost every week. Gale likes the calmness of it, while John likes to see Gale so in his element. It's one of their calmer dates for sure.

Hehe I'm giggling thinking about Gale taking John to an amusement park, but immediately getting chicken whenever John tries to get him on a ride. Finally, John is able to pull Gale onto a rollercoaster, and Gale immediately becomes a thrill junky. He loves the stomach dropping intensity of it, the speed, the height, he loves it all. Maybe they go to amusement parks a lot during the summer.

I think they also like to do picnics, taking lunch out into a park or open space near them and just enjoying each other's company. John will point out cloud shapes that he thinks are funny, and when night comes Gale would name all of the constellations they can see. They usually just end up making out under the stars, but they couldn't be happier.

Gale would take John to baseball games even though he doesn't understand what's going on, he just likes to see John bursting with excitement. He'll sit and eat his stadium hot dog and smile fondly at John's loud cheers and shouts. If their team wins, John would pick up Gale by the waist and spin him around triumphantly, both laughing like children.

John would take Gale to all sorts of science museums, he likes to hear Gale talk when he's excited. A lot of the stuff goes over his head, but he just likes to watch fondly as Gale's eyes widen at a scientific instrument or exhibit. They'll walk into the planetarium, and when it empties they'll kiss tenderly under the projected images.

oooo this one made me giddy I loved writing about it :,)

lmk y'all's hcs for this!

THE ‘STRANGER THINGS’ BOYS ARE OUR ‘NYLON GUYS’ SEPTEMBER 2017 COVER STARS

If anyone understands the sudden shift from “not fitting in” to “one-million-plus followers,” it’s these guys.

The following feature appears in the September 2017 issue of NYLON Guys.

Finn Wolfhard just couldn’t resist. Despite needing to be camera-ready for his NYLON photo shoot, the 14-year-old star of Stranger Things decided to suck on a blue Warhead anyway, and now he’s paying the price. “All these sets have candy on them, and I can’t help myself. It was a mistake,” he admits, sheepishly trying to scrub the cerulean stain from his tongue with a miniature toothbrush. To his right, Gaten Matarazzo wears a gray T-shirt that reads, uh oh! did my sarcasm hurt your feelings?, a slogan worthy of Dustin Henderson, the lovable wisecracker he plays opposite Wolfhard on the hit Netflix show. Matarazzo, also 14, is getting his trademark tangle of curls straightened, much to the delight of Noah Schnapp, who, at 12, is the youngest in this group of breakout stars that has helped make Stranger Things the most obsessed-over show in Netflix’s boundless roster of original series. Missing is Caleb McLaughlin, the energetic 15-year-old who plays Lucas Sinclair, but he’s on his way over in a black car, having just arrived from Los Angeles, fresh off an appearance at the BET Awards.

It’s the first time the boys have been together in several weeks, and none of them can pinpoint exactly when they were last in the same room. Ever since Stranger Things became a cultural phenomenon last summer, they’ve been swept up in a whirlwind of red carpets, talk shows, and fan conventions. And as the premiere of the sci-fi and horror fantasia’s top-secret second season nears, this summer has been overtaken by a flurry of promotional duties. Next week, while most kids their age are cooling off in pools or testing out the latest in roller coaster technology, Matarazzo and McLaughlin will be at Denver Comic Con, signing autographs and posing for selfies with wide-eyed fans. A few weeks after that, all four will find themselves inside the hallowed Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, where they’ll premiere the thrilling trailer for Season 2 to rapturous applause.

But on this day, even though they’re technically at work, the boys still find time to goof off. They are, after all, best friends—like brothers, even, they say—and there’s a lot of catching up to do, memes to be shared, and jokes to be cracked. “We used to call Noah ‘Señor Biebs,’” Matarazzo offers at one point, due to Schnapp’s Season 1 bowl cut and its resemblance to the former haircut of a certain Canadian pop star. “He hates it!” he says, just before he sticks his finger into Schnapp’s ear (playfully, of course).

Inside the bright and breezy photo studio on Manhattan’s West Side, publicists abound, but because these budding stars are still minors, there are also parents. It’s an unusual sight, and a reminder that despite having very grown-up jobs, they’re still not old enough to drive. Wolfhard, the Vancouver native who plays Mike Wheeler, is here with his father, as is Matarazzo, who hails from Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Schnapp and his parents came in from Westchester County, north of the city. When McLaughlin, who grew up in Carmel, New York, finally arrives lugging a suitcase that’s almost as big as he is, he’s accompanied by his father, a burly man in an Atlanta Braves cap who goes around the room with his son hugging the other parents, a reminder of how tight the makeshift family has become since this odyssey began more than two years ago.

Stranger Things premiered as an underdog. Its creators, the twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, were unproven talents who had previously written for the Fox sci-fi series Wayward Pines. Except for Winona Ryder’s comeback as a grieving mother searching for her missing son, the cast was composed largely of unknowns and newcomers. But thanks to its double dose of supernatural intrigue and a nostalgic ’80s-tinged glow, along with a miraculous performance by a young British actress with a shaved head, Stranger Things quickly commandeered the pop-culture conversation in a way that few shows have done. In July, the show received a staggering 18 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Created by the Duffers in the spirit of the Amblin-era entertainments they were raised on, the eight-episode first season is set in 1983 in Hawkins, Indiana, and unravels the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Will Byers, played by Schnapp, who vanishes in the first episode after an encounter with the show’s resident boogeyman, the otherworldly creature known as the Demogorgon. As Will’s three misfit best friends—Mike, Lucas, and Dustin—embark on a quest to find him, they uncover an alternate dimension they dub The Upside Down, and a sinister government conspiracy that may be responsible for opening it. They also befriend Eleven, the feral girl with telekinetic powers embodied iconically by 13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown.

Stranger Things began filming its second season under very different circumstances than the first. What once felt like a scrappy production free of scrutiny from outside sources suddenly had the mood and atmosphere of a major Hollywood blockbuster. “Netflix knew it would be a good show,” McLaughlin says, “but they didn’t realize how big it would be and that the whole world was going to freak out about it.” Because of that intense interest from both the network and the public, the set suddenly had a noticeable security presence shielding it from nosy onlookers and paparazzi, while network executives showed up to make sure their prized racehorse was galloping along. Suddenly, there were expectations. “We raised the bar pretty high with the first season,” says Matarazzo. “There was a lot more tension on set, in that we really needed to make sure it was good.”

When Season 2 premieres on October 27, a year will have passed since Eleven sacrificed herself to defeat the faceless Demogorgon and save the boys, in the Season 1 finale. Trying to squeeze spoilers out of Wolfhard, McLaughlin, Schnapp, and Matarazzo is useless. Extensive media training, including detailed notes on what they can and can’t discuss, have transformed them into a rare breed: teenagers who can keep a secret. What they can say: Season 2 is bigger, darker, and scarier. There’s also a new character in town, played by Sadie Sink. (According to the Duffers, Millie Bobby Brown was “relieved” to have another girl on set.) “She’s a skater, sort of a punk girl, and she slowly becomes part of the group,” says Wolfhard, who also says his character will be depressed and “a loner” in the wake of Eleven’s disappearance. What they can’t say: pretty much everything else. But it’s not just scoop-hungry journalists who harass them for info. “Whenever you get recognized by fans, most of the time they ask you if you’ve got any spoilers for Season 2, and I’m like, ‘No, none, not at all,’” says Matarazzo. “It’s definitely kind of stressful.”

One of the biggest changes for the new season is the expansion of Schnapp’s screen time. Because his character spends much of the first season trapped in an alternate dimension, Schnapp spent a good deal of time at home in New York while everyone else filmed in Atlanta. “Last year I would drive up to the studio and everyone would be like, ‘Hey, Noah, we’ve missed you! How’ve you been?’” says Schnapp. “This year was a lot easier because last year, I’d have to go in and out of school, and that was hard. This year I could focus.”

Although he’s rescued from The Upside Down, we last saw Schnapp removing a slithery creature from his mouth, a telltale sign that not all is well with Will Byers. For Schnapp, whose character mostly communicated through Christmas lights in Season 1, the new episodes meant new challenges as an actor. “Shawn Levy, one of our directors, was telling me, ‘Noah, you have something really big this season. We have a lot in store for you, and you should get really excited,’” he says. Schnapp felt the added pressure, and would sometimes text his TV mom, Ryder, for extra help with particularly emotional scenes. “We knew we needed a strong actor in case the series moved forward into a second season, because we knew he was going to be a centerpiece,” says Matt Duffer. “We needed not just a good actor, but a really, really good actor.” Schnapp rose to the occasion, according to the Duffers. “Shawn [Levy] was like, ‘We’ve had a Ferrari sitting in the garage all of Season 1, and now the fucking garage doors are open.’”

The Duffers knew that casting child actors, who have a tendency to favor exaggerated performances over naturalistic ones, would make or break their show. “There’s really nothing worse than a bad child performance,” Ross Duffer says. “You couldn’t have any weaknesses, or the eight hours would be excruciating.” Along with their casting director, the Duffers saw what they estimate to be 900 kids, an undertaking they say was easier than it sounds because they could tell within the first few minutes if the actor had what they needed. “You’re looking for something authentic, and most kids don’t have it,” says Ross. “There are the ones that are obviously well-trained, but they feel too Disney, like they’re winking at the camera.” What the Duffers found with their four young male stars were kids who seemed like actual kids.

Matarazzo was the first one cast, his audition so impressive that he found out he got the part on the way back from the airport. “We didn’t really even know who the Dustin character was until we found Gaten,” says Matt Duffer. “He was sort of a generic nerd with glasses. He was a stereotype.” Matarazzo, whose sense of humor inspired the Duffers to transform Dustin into the show’s primary source of comic relief, has grown up with a condition known as cleidocranial dysplasia, which stunts the development of bones and teeth. “We wanted to make a show about outsiders, about kids who didn’t fit in and who were bullied and made fun of,” says Matt. “Gaten was really able to tap into all of that.”

McLaughlin and Matarazzo had known each other from their days as stars in two of Broadway’s biggest shows. Matarazzo portrayed Gavroche in Les Misérables, and McLaughlin played Simba in The Lion King. They’d often see each other in a park frequented by “Broadway kids,” as Matarazzo calls them. “When I found out Caleb had gotten Lucas I was like, ‘Caleb? Where do I know that name from?’” he recalls. Wolfhard and Schnapp established an early connection, too—sort of. “He doesn’t remember me, but I remember him,” Wolfhard says. “Because I asked him what other projects he had done, and he said, ‘I was the voice of Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie.’ I was like, ‘What?! You’re Charlie Brown?’ I was so pysched about that.”

Although they had all crossed paths during the audition process, usually around the hotel pool or at chemistry reads, it wasn’t until they arrived in Atlanta to begin production that all four boys, along with Millie Bobby Brown, found themselves together in the same room for the first time. If there was a first-day-of-school feel, it made sense: They met in a classroom, which is where the young cast of Stranger Things still spend most of their time when they’re not filming. That grueling schedule means the only opportunities they get to really mess around are between takes, and sometimes during them. “We have laughing problems,” says McLaughlin. Matt Duffer elaborates: “We definitely have an issue, where we can’t get through a take without someone busting up. They’re always making each other crack up—the number of takes ruined by laughter is in the hundreds.”

Schnapp was at summer camp when Stranger Things dropped on Netflix. He wasn’t allowed to have his phone, but shortly after the series premiered, one of his counselors happened to check his Instagram account—80,000 followers. The next day it was 85,000. “I was like, ‘Wait, what’s going on?’ I think I was at one follower before that,” Schnapp says. Wolfhard also remembers that odd rush of watching his followers skyrocket and realizing his life was changing right in front of his eyes. McLaughlin felt his anonymity evaporate the first time he was recognized. “In L.A., this kid came up to me and was like, ‘Hey, are you Caleb Reginald McLaughlin?’” he says. “And I’m like, ‘What? You know my middle name? That’s nuts.’” 

The connection between the boys is strengthened by the surreal turn their lives have taken, circumstances that most kids their age can’t relate to. When Matarazzo, McLaughlin, and Wolfhard met Barack Obama last October, as guests of the White House’s South by South Lawn festival, the former president, who’s a fan of the show, told them he especially enjoyed their on-screen camaraderie. That bond exists offscreen, too, and has only gotten stronger with every award show and panel. “They really are my best friends,” Matarazzo says. “We can relate to each other a lot more than other people can. People try to understand everything that goes on, but they can’t unless they’ve been there.”

“I don’t think any of the kids would say that our friendship is similar to the friendships they have back home, because it’s not,” says Wolfhard. “No kid has ever really had an experience that I’m experiencing right now—it’s a unique sort of friendship.”

Wolfhard is careful not to bring his work home with him. “If you go home and all you talk about is acting, then you’re a douchebag,” he says. “Your friends don’t want to hear about your professional life, they just want to mess around.” Plus, when you’re 14 years old, talking about work is never cool, even if it involves facing off against a faceless interdimensional demon. The boys are also learning that with a great number of Instagram followers comes great responsibility. “We have to be more cautious with what we say on social media and in public,” says McLaughlin, who was shocked to lose followers after he openly rooted for the Golden State Warriors during the NBA playoffs.

While Netflix has yet to make an official announcement, a third season of Stranger Things is a given, meaning the boys are all but guaranteed to live out their teenage years on one of the most popular shows on television. The Duffers, then, will have to follow in the footsteps of long-running properties like Game of Thrones and the Harry Potter franchise in making sure their child actors don’t grow up faster than their characters. “It’s terrifying,” Matt Duffer says. “I shouldn’t even be highlighting this, but if you watch Season 2, they’ve grown from Episode 1 to Episode 9. I’m terrified one of them is going to have a major growth spurt basically in the middle of shooting. But as long as they’re growing outside of the course of our shooting, I’m not too worried about it, because we just have to build it into our story. As much as you would like to keep some of it more continuous, every time we take a break between seasons, we have to make a year time jump at least.”

All four actors say that they want to remain in show business into adulthood. Wolfhard, who obsessively studies the filmmaking process while on set—he’ll star in the remake of Stephen King’s It, in theaters this month—is eyeing a multihyphenate career as a director, actor, and musician. Back at the photo shoot, Matarazzo and Schnapp gather around his iPhone to watch a video Wolfhard co-directed for a friend’s band, Spendtime Palace. Earlier this year, McLaughlin, who is a trained dancer, played a young Ricky Bell on the BET miniseries The New Edition Story, an experience he describes as “historic.” Matarazzo wants to continue acting, but not forever, and is keeping an open mind about other aspects of the industry. Schnapp, who took his first acting class at the age of six, describes winning the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series as one of the greatest moments of his life, and is doing exactly what he wants. (The boys, who describe the awards as “very heavy,” keep them in their bedrooms, except for Matarazzo, who has been meaning to retrieve his from his grandparents’ house. )

“They all love what they’re doing,” says Matt Duffer. “They love coming to set, they love working, they love acting. In terms of the fame thing, it’s a side effect that I think some of them are more into than others. You’re worried about, ‘What if they realize this isn’t their true passion?’ They’re so young. But this year those fears went away. They’re all very committed to this. That’s the important thing, that they enjoy what they’re doing. And that they’re passionate about it.”

Head start

Richie Toizer x Yn

Warnings-kissing

Characters aged up!!

Also this is rlly bad just made it quick (yes i know this is a mike wheeler gif. oh well! lmao)

Richie and I’s friendship has gotten a lot closer and sometimes we like to hang out on our own.

But since it’s summer and the whole club spends the day together it’s kinda tough just being able to spend time with your new best friend.

So when Bill invited us to the barons to search for clues about “IT” I turned down the offer claiming i was sick.

It wasn’t true but only Richie knew that. He told the group that he had to work at the arcade today but he lied too.

So after he made sure they were far gone into the woods he rode his bike quickly to my house.

Once I got a knock on my door I hurried downstairs to open it for the four eyed goof.

“Sup hot stuff miss me?” he asked confidently barging into my home. “You wish Tozier” he made his way to my room like he’s been here a thousand times.

“Okay so I got us 3 movies to watch tonight. Since you said your parents won’t be home for the week. I was hoping if I could crash with you.” I nod immediately with a smile on my face.

“Okay cool cool. Uh which do you wanna watch first?” he asks as he starts closing the curtains in my room to make it dark for movie day.

I looked from the choices of Nightmare on elm street, Childs play, and Friday the 13th.

“Ugh Richie what did I tell you about only getting horror films! You know I get paranoid.” he turns around quickly making his own choice.

“Hush it your prince is here to save you” he smirked as he put the VHS tape in. “Now get comfy and watch a killer wear a hockey mask.” I scoff as he jumps on the bed sitting next to me.

We’ve seen this movie a thousand times together so I’m not paying very much good attention to it. Just noticing how Richies leg is slowly getting closer to mine and how his hand repeatedly taps on his leg.

“Yn what’s wrong? You’re not watching the tv” he huffs. “I’m bored Rich we’ve seen it a lot” he groans “Whatever you say Princess, What else do you wanna do?” I think for a couple seconds not knowing.

“We can just lay here and talk maybe…” my eyes leave his as I ask. “Cool with me” he lays back letting his head rest on the pillow.

I follow his movements laying on my own pillow. “So do you have a date to the yearly drive in? I heard Danny Carver wanted to take you.” Richie spoke quietly.

“I was planning going but definitely not with him. Are you going?” he stays quiet for a minute thinking. “Yeah I might. But I really wanna go with this one girl, I just don’t think she likes me” I feel my heart shatter slowly.

“Oh.. who’s the lucky girl?” I ask staring at the ceiling glad I can’t look him in the eyes. “I’m looking at her.” my eyebrows furrow as I look up to see him already staring at me.

“M-me? You’re joking right?” I ask sitting up and he follows. “No this isn’t a joke Yn. But I get if you don’t wanna go with me” I shake my head immediately as we stare at each other.

“Of course I wanna go with you Rich. Been wishing of it since they announced it in the papers.” he chuckles nervously as we stare into each others eyes.

“You know a lot of kids plan on getting their first kiss at drive ins while the movie plays” he spoke lowly and embarrassed.

“Maybe we can get a head start” I say nervously and his head snaps up. “Okay! I mean okay cool…” I giggle as I scoot closer to him.

We both leaned our heads closer slowly letting our lips touch for a few seconds then pulling away. Coming to realization of what happened Richie immediately brings me back in harshly.

Puckering all over. “You sure this is your first Rich?” I ask holding onto his cheeks. “Most definitely” he acted as if he was deprived of my touch before desperately meeting me again.

His lips were soft and fluffy. Thanks to Eddie who gives him chapstick every other week.

His hands weaved through my hair trying to pull me closer until the door bust opens.

“We brought soup- WHAT THE FUCK?” Eddie yells as the whole groups stands outside my door.

Media: Deadpool x Spiderman

Year/my age: 2018/28

What drew me to the media:

I have NO IDEA. The moment in time I was interested in spideypool must've been like a single month. It was the summer. I watched the Deadpool movies and somehow gravitated in the direction of his relationship to Spiderman. I read the quintissential comic book for them (Spider-Man/Deadpool #4 specifically).

What made me a fan:

I guess after being glutted on Reylo I wanted some anal, LOLS. They are also big goof balls, which at the time, was refreshing.

I didn't actually read any fanfiction for it. I was just diddling around in the canon stuff. Sometimes I find fandom pretty distracting from my "vision" (of anal).

Strangely this is the only time I've been interested writing stories in the Marvel universe. I think it's because Deadpool is considered "gross" and "raunchy". Those words intrigue me.

In college, I was an editorial intern for Marvel, but afterward I decided comics weren't for me. Something deeply irritates me about the Marvel universe. My biggest takeaway from my time there was that the writers are paid fanfiction writers, and knowing that fanfiction artists are mostly queer, nonbinary, trans or women, I got pretty frustrated that the majority of comic writers are straight, cis men.

Like even as a 21 year old, I knew it wasn't a place for me.

Have I written fanfiction for it? Why or why not?

My first ever fanfiction! I went on this insane rock climbing trip with two friends where we spent very little time rock climbing and a lot of time driving. I spaced out a lot and built this absurd porn without plot, like too completion, in the car.

For a time it was published on fanfiction.net because I didn't know I needed an invite to get on Ao3. In the last 6 months, I deleted my ff account because of an AI rumor, so it's published anonymously on ao3.

Why anonymously? Well, I didn't want to ping my subscribe folks with something both old, of poor quality, and completely outside the realm of what I've been working on. But if anyone is curious, I'll link it at the end. Maybe you can see some scraps of my eventual style in it.

Anyway! It's funny! It's stupid! It involves suspension in chains! It references a classic 1970s horror movie that features a rape scene.

God, I'm really weird, you guys. I'm so fucking weird.

I also posted it anonymously, because I was worried someone was going to get up in there and think I'm talking about kid Spiderman! (I'm not.)

Opinion on the fandom:

Well, it's Marvel. It's huge. I find it really intimidating and scary. Also the lore for Marvel is SO ENORMOUS. I don't know how you write in the universe and cover everything. I guess you either focus on the movies (no thanks) or the comics (the games? the books? the AUs?) or take what you want and leave the rest. But I don't interact with it. It ain't my bag.

Would I read it again?

Since I never read it to begin with, probably not.

[frankenkyle19]

The ship me thing? 🥺

I have long, wavy dark blonde hair. Blue eyes. Relatively pale, freckles. 5”6. A bit on the thicker side. Much more of a jeans, t shirt and converse girl than a dress and heels girl. Never wear makeup.

Quite shy and awkward. Would much rather stay in then go out and party. Can be quite quiet a lot of the time unless with friends, then I’m a little louder and tell jokes and laugh and overall have more fun. Once I’m comfortable with someone I’ve been told I’m a completely different person. It’s easy to annoy me but I’m also quick to forgive someone if they do something wrong. It’s hard for me to hold a grudge.

Big film buff. I particularly enjoy horrors and romcoms (big difference there, I know) but will watch anything, really. Often prefer a small indie film to a big blockbuster. Big book fan too, but not really that big a fan of the ‘classics’, I’d much rather read more modern stuff. Other interests include the theatre, baking and sewing.

Other things: quite close with my family. I have pets (2 cats, a dog and a hamster). Dream of going travelling. Much more of an autumn/winter person than a spring/summer person. Easily impressed. Probably only listen to the same 20 songs when listening to music.

I ship you with… TATE!

He’d love your sense of style since he probably isn’t a fan of someone who wears a lot of dresses, etc only because he equates the dresses with a very girly girl type??

but he’d let you borrow his shirts for sure and his heart would flutter everytime he saw you wearing them.

he’d try his best to bring you out of your shell and would he incredibly happy once you start to get comfortable around you. Always so gentle and such a goof ball at times. Anything to see you smile or laugh.

probably good that it’s hard for you to hold a grudge because ooo boy tate would get on your nerves a lot. He’d try really hard not to but poor ghost boi has just made so many bad decisions over the years.

loves to watch movies with you but talks a lot during the movies, asking lots of questions and just talking about it in general. Would maybe even get into reading. He’d ask you your favorite book and then he’d read it. Even if he didn’t enjoy it, it was a good experience because it helped him understand you better.

Quarantine Lovers (Part 3) | Charlie Gillespie

A/N: Happy Halloween, you guys! I hope you’ve had an amazing day so far, whether you go all out for the holiday or not! Hope you enjoy this little imagine-fic-thing of celebrating Halloween in quarantine with Charlie :) Love you guys! xxx

Pairing: Charlie Gillespie x Reader

Warnings: fluff

Words: 2, 827

Happy Halloween, Witches

Ah, 2020. The year that canceled everything thus far. No traveling, no real summer. You couldn’t even get back to work and neither could Charlie. You had spent your time writing up ideas for new shows and pitching some ideas over Zoom to the rest of the Outer Banks writing team. It sucked. Mostly because you couldn’t see any family or friends in real life. And now that October has come around, it seems nothing has changed much. In fact, it’s gotten even worse. 

There was a second lockdown looming and you could just about see  your perfect Halloween night shattering right before your eyes. Sure, you were just planning on inviting some friends over and watching horror movies, eating pizza and snacks, but it still sucked that wouldn’t happen now after all. 

Charlie had noticed on Monday how bummed you were when you realized things were getting worse. He knew how much you loved the holiday and how excited you were to see friends and spend some time with them. So, he set his plan in motion. 

On Saturday morning, you wake up to a cold, empty bed and the sound of clanging pans and cutlery coming from the kitchen. Confused, and still a little sleep-drunk, you get out of bed and slip on Charlie’s sweater to keep you at least a little warm since you were just wearing a shirt of his. (You’d almost think you don’t ever wear your own clothes anymore). From the little corridor that connects the bedrooms to the living and kitchen area, you can already spot him at the stove. Curious and a little endeared that he’d be cooking this early in the morning, you make your way towards him, only to be surprised by the living room being coated in full Halloween gear. Spiders in spider webs everywhere, pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts in every nook and cranny. 

“Char… Wha--?” he turns to you, eyes widening first before his smile appears instead. 

“Get back to bed, I was gonna wake you up with a song.” You walk over to him, peeking over his shoulder to what he’s making. Pumpkin pancakes. He’s actually making pancakes in the form of little pumpkins. Could he be any cuter? 

“You’ve missed your true calling, baby,” you tell him and kiss his bare shoulder. A light chuckle arises from his body, making his shoulders shake slightly. You then turn around to eye the feast he had already spread out on the table. 

Everything is in theme. Halloween doughnuts, a giant fake pumpkin with fruit seeping out of its mouth. You assume he just went on Pinterest to inspire him and then, when walking down the aisles in the shops, just grabbed everything that seemed even slightly Halloweeny. “Can I help you with anything?” you ask, looking around for a job to do. Charlie turns around to place the plate with a pile of pumpkin pancakes on the table, placing a gentle hand on the small of your back as he leaned past  you. 

“No, I got it covered,” he presses a kiss to your hair before turning to go to the fridge. “Sit down, baby.” Slightly disgruntled, you sigh and sit down on the chair closest to you. 

“Why are we doing this, Gillespie? Got something to make up for?” you ask teasingly after taking another glance at the breakfast spread in front of you. 

“Can’t I just surprise my girlfriend with the breakfast of dreams?” He asks and places a hand on the back of your neck while leaning forward to pour some orange juice into a glass. His fingers softly scratch your scalp, and you can’t help but lean into his touch. “Besides, I noticed how bummed you were about our plans with our friends falling apart, so I came up with a plan to make it the best Halloween I could, despite being stuck inside with me.” You nearly melt at this idea of his. He did all of this. For you. Just because you were bummed about cancelled plans. How did you ever earn a beautiful, good soul like him? 

“I would’ve enjoyed just watching movies tonight with you, too, you goof,” you say, which sends a smile right up to his lips. “But thank you.” He leans down to press his lips on yours quickly before turning to grab a few more things and then joining you at the table. 

“So, I have an entire day of fun things planned for us,” he starts when you take your first bite of pumpkin pancake, a delightful moan escaping  your lips at the amazing taste tingling your taste buds. Charlie shoots you an amused look with risen eyebrows and a smirk. 

“These are good!” you exclaim, “But go on, what are the fun things you planned?” Charlie is seemingly brought back into reality by that question as he slightly shakes his head and blinks his eyes a few times quickly. 

“So, remember when you kinda joked we should go as each other for Halloween?” You nod your head slowly, that was something you did suggest as a Halloween costume last month when you were planning the whole night. All your friends would’ve come dressed up. It was mandatory to do so on Halloween, you thought. “I think we should do it. We should dress as each other and then we’re going to the shops to get us some tools and pumpkins…” Your eyes widen at this, already know what the rest of his plan is. 

“We’re gonna carve pumpkins?!” you nearly scream. This makes him laugh, shaking his head at how freaking adorable you are with your little bounds of excitement. It’s the same way he gets excited about the things he’s passionate about. 

“Yes, we are! And then we’re gonna bake some Halloween cookies, order pizza and watch movies all night long!” You shriek with exhilaration, and get up to run around the table towards your boyfriend, attacking him with your lips on his. He chuckles against your lips, pulling you down to his lap. You deepen the kiss while your hands tangle up in his hair. This makes him stop giggling as he melts right into you, his hands roaming from your waist down your thigh and back up. 

“You are the greatest boyfriend, you know that?” you tell him when you pull back, resting your forehead against his and staring in his eyes. He pecks your lips once more before leaning over to grab a piece of fruit and feeding it to you. 

“You deserve it, baby,” he tells you with a shrug whilst you grab another piece of fruit and hold it out to him to eat. “We both love Halloween, so it seemed a little lame to just watch movies together,  you know? That’s a regular Thursday in this household.” You giggle at that. He’s not wrong. During lockdown, you’ve watched so many movies, you’ve lost count. 

“I love you,” you whisper and kiss him again. The taste of strawberry still faintly on his lips. 

“I love you too, like so much.” He plants another kiss on your lips before you both turn back to your breakfast, but staying where you are; on his lap. You feed each other fruit and pancakes and doughnuts whilst chatting about how excited you were about the entire day. 

After breakfast, he let you get dressed first whilst he cleaned up the kitchen. You’d suggested to help, but he insisted on you getting dressed and ready instead. So, you do. You shower, dry your hair and curl it, then put on very minimal makeup, just to hide those bags and blemishes. As an outfit, you picked out some dungarees (because, let’s be honest, Charlie looked cutest in his dungarees), steal his Sunset Curve Summer Tour ‘95 shirt to go underneath it and your white Adidas on your feet. You also steal one of his snapbacks since his lockdown-hair has needed some support to keep it out of his eyes. 

Once ready, you check yourself in the full-length mirror, then nod, satisfied with the ensemble. You can’t wait to see Charlie’s reaction to this costume of yours or what he has planned for his costume. 

“Cover your eyes!” you yell into the direction of the living room. 

“Covered!” he yells back, and you make your way cautiously into the living room where you find Charlie on the couch with his phone in his lap and his hands over his eyes. He looks like an actual toddler like this. It’s the most endearing thing you’d ever seen, so you quickly snap a picture before stepping in front of him. 

“Okay, open.” He slowly takes his hands away from his eyes, and lets them wander over your entire body. His lips part as some excess air needs to leave his lungs from that breath-taking view in front of him. “You like it?” you ask, twirling around, so he can see the entire thing. He quickly places his phone on the couch and stands up, placing his hands on your waist. 

“You look better in this outfit than I ever would, Gorgeous,” he mumbles before leaning down and pressing a chaste kiss to your lips. “You make me crazy, Y/L/N.” You comb your fingers through the front of his hair, making his gorgeous eyes more visible to you. 

“Ditto, Gillespie,” you whisper and kiss him once again. “Now, you get dressed. I’m curious to see what you come up with.” After having kissed your nose quickly, he dashes past you and into the bedroom, leaving you all by yourself. It takes him about fifteen minutes before his voice chimes through the apartment. 

“I’m ready! Close your eyes!” You place your hands over your eyes, a smile tugging at your lips in excitement. “Okay, open.” His voice sounds closer, a little teasing, even. You slowly remove your hands, your eyes widening and your mouth dropping at the sight in front of you. He’s wearing a loose, black boiler suit, complete with red-and-white belt, exactly how you’d wear it. On his feet, he’s wearing Dr. Martin’s ankle boots. 

“This is the best thing I ever did see!” you exclaim excitedly as he makes a little twirl. “We need to take a photo!” You grab your phone from the pocket of your dungarees and get it set up on a self-timer and so that it takes multiple pictures in one take before placing it on the tv stand. Once you press the button, you hurry to Charlie, who has his arms open. 

“Jump!” he says, and you quickly do so, wrapping  your legs around his waist at the same moment your phone starts taking the pictures. For the next few, you keep your feet on the floor, leaning against your boyfriend. The first ones, you’re looking at the camera, but Charlie’s looking at you. Then you’re looking at him but he’s not. And on the last one, you’re staring in each other’s eyes with wide smiles on your faces. For the last group of shots, you squat down and cross your arms, Charlie following your example. In the second shot, you both hold your hand up in a rock sign, sticking out your tongues. The last one of that group of pictures is of both of you falling on your butts due to the lack of balance. 

“Those last ones are hilarious,” he says, pointing at the ones where you’re both on your ass, throwing your head back with laughter. “Let’s go get our pumpkins now first!” 

Back home with the two biggest pumpkins you could find, -- there weren’t very many left -- the two of you start by covering the floor with an old sheet before getting your new utensils out and starting the carving process. While you’re spooning out pumpkin seeds, there’s music playing in the background, and the two of you are talking about what you’re about to do to the pumpkins. Charlie’s going to go for a Pennywise face whilst you’re cutting out three ghosts. He couldn’t help but smile at that idea of yours. You really were the cutest when you’re in your element about this holiday. 

“I think I’m done,” you say, leaning back to take a last look at the entire finished product. Charlie rests his head on your shoulder, peeking over to see your piece of art. “The guitars were really hard to do.” You point to Ghost Reggie’s bass and Ghost Luke’s guitar. “But the drumsticks were easy.” Charlie chuckles and plants a kiss underneath your ear, tasting a bit of pumpkin. This makes him scrunch his nose in disgust. Raw pumpkin does not taste that great.

“How in the holy hell did you get a little pumpkin behind your ear?” he asks and takes his finger to wipe any residue away. 

“I’ve got no clue,” you say and turn your head to face him, only to find a pumpkin seed stuck in his long hair. A laugh erupts from your body, shaking you from head to toe. “You’ve got some in your hair.” He tries to pluck it out, but keeps missing, so you help him out instead. “I shouldn’t have showered this morning,” you laugh, shaking your head at your own stupid desicion. Charlie laughs too before getting up with his pumpkin in hands. 

“Let’s put them on the kitchen island,” he suggests and makes his way there. “I’ll grab some tealights.” While he does that, you get up too and place  your Julie and The Phantoms one next to his Pennywise one. They don’t look too bad in your opinion. 

Charlie returns with two little tealights and places one in each pumpkin whilst you grab the matches, but Charlie stops you before you can light them. “It’s still light out, babe. That’s not gonna have much effect,” he chuckles. “We’ll light them later. Let’s bake now!” You nod your head vigorously and skip into the kitchen. 

That afternoon is spent baking cookies and cupcakes, and ends in a food fight with flour everywhere. To say this is the best Halloween you ever had would be the biggest understatement of the year. Even though it’s not exactly how you planned it, it’s still the most perfect day ever, thanks to Charlie. And that’s not even all he’d planned. 

By nightfall, the two of you had lit your pumpkins, placed the treats on the coffee table and had a movie ready to play on the tv when Charlie’s phone started to ring. A little confused and disgruntled about the interruption, you peer over his shoulder to see who’s calling him. Owen Joyner wants to facetime Julie and the Phantoms

Charlie glances at you with a smirk on his face before picking up the phone. The blonde guy you’ve come to love appears on the small screen, along with Jeremy and Carolynn, and Madison.

“Hey guys!” Charlie greets excited while you offer an excited wave. 

“Happy Halloween, Witches!” Owen yells. That’s when  you realize they, too, are dressed up. Owen has fake blood run from his lip and has a black cape draped over his shoulders. Carolynn and Jeremy are dressed as angel and devil whilst Madison is a witch. 

“What are you dressed as?” Owen asks, peering at his screen to try and figure it out. 

“Each other!” you reply, which sends all of them into a fit of laughter. 

“That’s very original!” Carolynn compliments. “You rock those dungarees, Y/N!”

“Thanks, angel,” you retort, a little flustered at the compliment. 

The FaceTime call lasts for about an hour and a half until Charlie decides to call it quits and start watching movies instead. You bid your goodbyes to your friends before cuddling up to Charlie as he puts his phone away. 

“This has really been the greatest Halloween, Char. Thank you,” you whisper and lean up to meet his lips for a sweet, long kiss. 

“Anything for you, Gorgeous.” You lie down on his chest again, getting kissed on the head as  you do so. You can’t help but sigh happily. Charlie really went all out with the surprises. From the breakfast spread to carving pumpkins and baking Halloween cookies to the surprise phone call from the guys and even the costume. 

That night, you post a bunch of pictures to Instagram. The first is one of the posed one of your outfits, then follows the one of Charlie covering his eyes on the sofa, your carved pumpkins and the one picture where you’ve both fallen on your ass after losing balance. 

“Wanna thank this little goofball for going all out on my favorite day of the year. Guess I should be more bummed about little things from now on if it means getting pumpkin pancakes, dressing up as each other and all the other amazing surprises. Thank you, baby. You really are the greatest of all time. @charles_gillespie 💗 Happy Halloween, Witches! 🎃”

Here it is. the list of Streams of All Time, consisting of vods from Tomato Gaming and Hollowtones. Very different variety streamers but i love them both to death and want to share some of my favorites of theirs. i would get the links to all these but i'll do that later, for now you can just search them up on yt easily

Tomato Gaming (Tomato on twitch)

My Summer Car series (+modded stream): If there’s any way to witness the insanity of this absolutely fucked up Finnish perma-death survival car sim where you try to fix up a car and get with a girl via some… insane tactics, then this is the way to do it. Tomato, for all his competence, decides to go toe-to-toe with this hellish sim, while also learning how to fix up the car from the ground up (with a guide). Entertaining all the way through, for sure.

I’m On Observation Duty streams: Huge Man. All you need to know.

Sailwind stream: what if a man fucked up so badly at every turn trying to do the simple task of sailing from town to town to deliver packages and earn money. See it here.

Outer Wilds series: I find this one rather legendary. The man is smart, and shows that he really admires the game as a whole, as evident by the 8 hr stream he did where he completed the dlc in one sitting right after it came out. Amazing stuff, really.

Teardown series: Anyone will have to admire the dedication he has to the game, balancing well how much he goofs around and how much he focuses upon crafting a perfect route.

Red Dead Redemption 2 rp server series: The Filth is utterly fascinating as a character, a wretched beast that wanders the woods and forever leaves a mark upon those he meets.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (Requiem) series: What starts out as a fun romp with a somewhat improved skyrim experience turns into a gut-wrenching story of a disturbed, all-powerful man-god and his efforts to appease his deranged “father”.

The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time: Tomato and his dear pal Bedbananas play as funny little penguins and kill other funny little penguins in various intense heists. Co-op streams are always a treat to see, and as per usual, Tomato and Bed strike an amazing chemistry together

ANY of the Viscera Cleanup Detail streams: VCD on its own is just fun to watch, and I believe most, if not all of these streams are co-op.

Minecraft streams: This playlist of his has multiple different series and one-offs within, and while I cannot vouch for them all, it’s fun to watch him focus in on progressing in the modpack whilst many others stand in his way.

Dread X Collection streams. Collections of horror games, he did two streams for Collection 2 and one for The Hunt collection. He’s just delightful to watch play some horror games, and really adores a good horror game.

White Day series: A very fascinating old japanese horror game based upon White Day, which I don’t think even has anything to do with White Day at all. His playthrough is one of the few out there, and is a good example of a chunk of games he streams; crusty japanese and korean horror games that have as many merits to them as they have faults.

WorldBox: God Simulator stream: A tale lasting for centuries upon centuries, where civilizations rise and fall to the whims of this mad god, who also likes to be a crab sometimes. Multiple protagonists take and leave the stage, and in one agonizing moment becomes an all powerful villain which holds his own against mind-flaying superbeings. It’s a fun time.

Long Dark series: If it were not evident yet, one of Tomato’s favorite game genres are vicious survival unofficially-horror games, and his play of multiple of Long Dark’s challenges is evident of this. This was one of the first streams of his that I watched, and perhaps I do hold some bias for the entertainment of these, they’re also amazing to watch, and one of the few times you’ll see someone be both good at and enjoy a grueling survival game multiple times.

Murder House, Stay Out of The House, Do You Copy, Feed Me Billy, Death Flush, and Mother streams: Yes, this is multiple streams. They’re not connected in any canon sorta way, but more so by genre; indie horrors, for the most part. I felt it’d be too long to list them all separately, but every one of these are fascinating in their own right, and Tomato’s method of playing them brings you right at ease to enjoy them along with him.

Giraffe Town: Disturbing as hell game in a league of its own. Good stream, go watch it.

Hollowtones

(hollow_tones on twitch)

Super Go Fish For Super Players: two people by the long forgotten names of Holly and Rud are TRAPPED together in the forest of life until they go through this 999 card custom deck, featuring a very many scooby doos, multiple different loz suits, Tragedy, my hero academia, and bitches. Multiple people come and go, flaunting their freedom to watch these two in their hellish, but temporary, purgatory throughout the stream, and all have quite the riot in their endless search for the legendary Rainbow Doo.

Hypnospace Outlaw series: Holly and Mike take a journey to the distant past, to moderate a dream-based form of internet that you’d log into during your sleep. It’s delightful, I promise you that.

My Friend Peppa Pig: Joined by her sister, Holly ventures into this hidden gem of an indie horror game, gathering legendary footage of a piece of history buried beneath the flowing sands of time.

Holly Reads About Sandwiches: A complete reading and analysis of the entire wikipedia article on Sandwiches. Joined by multiple people throughout this 7 ½ hour stream, she uncovers knowledge that should have never been seen by another in this lifetime, nor any other.

Psychonauts/Psychonauts 2: Holly plays through the entirety of the Psychonauts series for the first time (except for Rhombus of Ruin, you’ll need to search for an alternative playthrough of that, as it is important for understanding Psy2), and has a lot of fun. I have little to say here that wouldn’t just spoil how great it is, just go watch it.

Claymates: Claymates.

Outer Wilds series: Sorry Outer Wilds is good so I’m recommending her stream too. Joined by Mike, Outer Wilds expert that takes as much joy as I do in watching anyone play through the game for the first time.

Amongus Streams with RTVS Crew: It’s fucking among us. What do you expect.

Wandersong series: Holly really gives a beautiful voice to every character in the game, and delights in all its charms. Also accidentally names the bard their canon name (other than Bard). If part 4 of the series doesn't work for you in the app, open the video in browser and it’ll work just fine.

Alan Wake series: Holly and Mike approach the game just as any other person should; like a B-movie horror with the fun crustiness of an old xbox shooter title.

A/N— Happy Birthday Jungkook! This was a collab with @goldenclosetnetwork for their Golden Closet Net Jungkook Birthday Project. I hope you guys like it, please let me know what ya think! (also this beautiful banner was whipped up in record time by the marvelous @kimtaehyunq)

After college starts, summer is no longer a relaxing season dedicated to lounging around and goofing off with friends. Unfortunately, now summers were filled with internships or temporary summer jobs. You got the short end of the stick though, as your summer was going to be filled with summer classes. Along with taking summer classes, you had to deal with the grueling heat. Walking back and forth from your classes to your dorm was quite an ordeal, as the sun drained you of all your energy. 

Your only solace of not going home was that you were close to your boyfriend, Jungkook. You guys started dating towards the end of the spring semester, so the relationship was somewhat new. He was nothing but incredibly sweet to you, and you honestly could not believe you were dating him. From what you observed, he was basically perfect. 

At first you thought he was a little shy, but when you got to know him, you soon realized he’s just a huge lovable dork. He loved gaming, and bragged about what his rank in League of Legends used to be (platinum, he was in the top 8% of all people who played). You tried to take him seriously, but you couldn’t help but laugh. You didn’t laugh because you were making fun of him, you laughed because he was just too cute. You adored the way his eyes twinkled when he talked about what he was passionate about. He would get lost in his own world and ramble on before he realized you were still there. At that point he would reach out and pull you into a hug and ask about your day.

After a long day of listening to a boring chemistry lecture, you finally got back to your dorm. You freshened up with a quick shower and collapsed into your bed. You were about to drift off when your phone starts to buzz. It was a video call from Jungkook.

“Hey baby what’s up?” Jungkook beamed on the other end. It looked like he just got out of the shower too.

“Hey Kookie. I’m done with class for the day. Have I told you how much I hate chemistry?” you groaned in response.

“Plenty of times. In fact, multiple times a day. Can’t blame you though. You can relax when I come see you this weekend,” Jungkook tried to cheer you up. 

Jungkook lived about an hour away from campus, so he stayed in a dorm during the school year. However, he went home during the summer break. With that being said, he insisted on coming down to see you every weekend. At first you protested, arguing that gas was too expensive and the commute would take too much time. But he simply said, “I just want to see my girl. What’s so wrong with that? It’s no one’s decision but mine.” You couldn’t argue with him after that.

“Why don’t we do something different this weekend?” you asked. This weekend would mark your 3 month anniversary. 

“Yeah? Like in the bedroom?” he was intrigued. 

“No! I mean...sure? Wait no that’s not what I’m talking about right now, you dingus. Why don’t we get away or something? There’s a park about an hour away that is known for stargazing! They have their own observatory and all that. Would you wanna--”

“Yes. Let’s do it.” Jungkook didn’t even let you finish. You knew he’d be excited. Along with videogames, anything pertaining to outer space had his heart. He loved reading about various stars, and was always hypothesizing how space travel would work.

The weekend couldn’t come fast enough. You spaced out in lecture often, but now you definitely couldn’t focus. The thought of being hand in hand with Jungkook while traversing the trails together was enough to make your heart flutter. That, coupled with the fact that you two would be under the stars without any air pollution, really had you on Cloud 9. 

You gleefully hopped into Jungkook’s car in the late afternoon. Jungkook was wearing his favorite bucket hat with his usual casual clothes. 

“Hello beautiful,” Jungkook leaned over to kiss you, “Let’s go get our dinner. How do ready made sandwiches sound?”

“Sounds perfect! Why don’t we get some fruit too?” you sat back in your seat.

“Ohhh healthy. Yes ma’am we can do that.” he drove to the closest supermarket. 

“Hey babe, let’s get this bread,” Jungkook joked as he picked up a sandwich. You couldn’t help but laugh at his little one-liner. You both love that meme. You guys strolled over to the fruits section. Of course, there had to be a debate over which fruits to get.

“It’s hot outside so why don’t we get watermelon?” you suggested.

“Mm that’s a good point. But watermelons are basically just water. Why don’t we get pineapples instead? We can see if that myth really is true?” Jungkook wiggled his eyebrows at you. 

“You dog!” you playfully slap his arm, “Let’s get both then. The more the merrier.”

“Okiedokie. Don’t act like you don’t wanna try the pineapple trick though,” he teased.

“Maybe I do. What of it?” you retorted.

“Nothing. That’s perfect for me,” he winked as you guys went to checkout.

The drive to the park was relaxing. Jungkook played his music and sang along to all the songs. You occasionally chimed in whenever you knew the lyrics, but you preferred to listen to him instead. Even when he was messing around, his angelic voice was still euphoric. You were pleasantly surprised when he first sang in front of you. You didn’t think it was possible to hear an angel up close. 

Getting away from the city was something you needed. As the tall buildings faded in the background, a more sparse landscape came into view. You loved the open road. Sure, the neverending grass and scattered trees weren’t the most breathtaking view, but it was pleasant nonetheless. You saw the occasional cow or horse, and never failed to point them out to Jungkook. He would always respond with a “wow!” or a “so cute!” and chuckle at you. Everything you did was so adorable to him, though he wasn’t the most vocal about all that mushy stuff. He was sure he had already fallen in love with you, but he wasn’t sure if you felt the same yet. He’d keep that to himself for a little bit longer.

The park itself was nothing grand. It being closer to the coast meant that it was a little on the swampy side. After several attempts to make sense of the provided park map, Jungkook finally found a parking lot.

“Okay according to the map, this is the closest parking lot to the observatory. I think there’s a trail nearby too,” you say as you hand him the map.

“Let’s go!” Jungkook leapt out of the car before he could even see you trying to give him the map.

Jungkook grabbed the food from the backseat as you got out of the car. Sadly, neither of you had a stereotypical picnic wicker basket, so everything was just in the plastic shopping bag from the store. That didn’t make it any less charming when Jungkook started swinging the bag back and forth in one hand while doing the same thing to your hand on his other side. 

The sun was beginning to set, but you could still feel its warmth in the breaks between the shady parts of the trail Jungkook led you on. The trail itself was basically a small gravel path that led from the parking lot to a picnic site overlooking a swampy lake. The trees that grew in the open grove by the picnic tables were extremely old, as they loomed high overhead. 

Neither of you had spoken since you left the car. You were both enjoying the fresh air and new sights. The candid sounds of nature filled the air. From the buzzing of the cicadas, to the occasional whooping of unseen birds, the authenticity of it all had you in a trance. Jungkook squeezed your hand and you snapped back to reality. Your eyes wandered back to him to see a soft smile on his face. 

“Is this table okay, baby?” he looked at you with his doe eyes.

“Yeah it’s good. Do you like this place so far?” you asked as you started to get the food out.

“I do. It’s beautiful. Everything is just so...natural. Obviously,” he chuckled, “The scenery is the second most beautiful thing here.”

“Mm okay I’ll bite. What’s the first most beautiful thing here?” you cocked your head in amusement.

“Me, of course! Why would you even ask that when you already know the answer?” he laughed. 

“Oh you’re so right. How silly of me. I have your food here, you dork. Do you wanna start with the pineapples or watermelons first?”

“Let’s open the watermelons since it’s still kinda hot out,” he plopped down beside you.

You foolishly skipped lunch, so your stomach was killing you. Jungkook joked that it sounded like a dying cat during the car ride. Sometimes it got so loud that he could hear it over his music. He wanted you to eat while he drove, but you refused because you wanted to eat together. Thinking back, you realized you could have fed him while he was driving. It’s not an issue anymore though, not when you’re both wolfing down your sandwiches. The watermelon was definitely a good choice, as it was a perfect weapon to combat the heat. 

There was a gazebo next to the water that allowed visitors to get a better view of the swampy environment. You led Jungkook over to it after packing up the leftovers (only a few pineapples were left). The water was murky, most of the vegetation that surfaced looked dead, and everything put together made the place seem perfect for filming a swamp horror film. Despite all of that, you couldn’t help but think it was still beautiful. Upon a closer look, you spotted some small turtles on the closest log by the gazebo. Of course you excitedly pointed them out to Jungkook, who cooed at how cute they were. Jungkook brought you closer to him so he could hug you from behind and rested his chin atop your head. He loved the height difference between you two, it always made him feel like that much more of YOUR man. He also mercilessly teased you for being short, but that was just an added bonus. 

“Do you feel relaxed?” he whispered in your ear before nibbling it.

“I feel so relaxed, darling,” you say, leaning into him, “The sunset is gorgeous out here. Even if it feels like we’re about to get attacked by a swamp creature at any second.”

“Yeah, instead we’re being attacked by a billion fucking mosquitoes. Babe, I don’t think your bug spray is working,” Jungkook swatted away the hovering pests.

“But my mom got it for me! It’s supposed to be a more organic and natural spray,” you pout.

“Well, I’m sorry but your mom’s organic bug spray isn’t doing shit. In fact, I feel like it’s attracting them,” his swatting became more forceful. 

“Oh, you’re not even getting bit. They’re all over ME,” you say as you started to feel insanely itchy all over your arms and legs, “Let’s go to the observatory, the sun has already begun to set. Also there are probably more mosquitoes here by the water, so let’s get the hell away from that.” 

“There’s still about half an hour of sunlight left,” Jungkook observed after checking his phone, “We have some time to kill. Wanna check out more of this trail?”

“Sure. As long as it leads away from the water,” you shrugged as you followed Jungkook into the forested area.

Golden hour shone down through the trees. The rays made Jungkook glow and look even more ethereal. He rubbed his thumb over your hand as he led you down the trail. You absentmindedly brought his hand up to your mouth to plant a soft kiss on the back of it. 

“I haven’t seen anyone on this trail the entire time we’ve been here,” Jungkook observed.

“It’s nice. It’s like our own little sanctuary,” you agreed.

“And you look so cute in that outfit of yours,” Jungkook’s voice lowered.

“What are you suggesting, Jungkook?” you played along, caressing his bicep. 

Jungkook abruptly led you off the beaten path, into a more heavily wooded area. He spun you around into a deep kiss, backing you up against a tree. You palmed him through his pants, finding him already half hard.

“What if we get caught?” you huffed into his mouth.

“Doesn’t that make it more exciting?” he said as he nipped at your neck while fondling your breasts. 

“I’m gonna have bug bites on my ass,” you laughed.

“I’ll bite your ass when we get back to even it out,” he chuckled into another kiss.

You forcefully switched positions with Jungkook as you tugged off his pants. You kissed along his jawline and down his neck before sinking to your knees in front of him. His erection bulged in his underwear, begging to be set free.  

You teasingly licked him over his underwear, making him groan. As much as you wanted to continue teasing him, you didn’t want to get caught before he actually had the chance to fuck you.

You pulled off his underwear, leaving him fully exposed. You delicately kissed the tip of his penis like it was some sort of polite greeting. Then, you lewdly flattened your tongue on the base of his cock and licked a long stripe upwards and finished at the top with a swirl. You hollowed out your cheeks as you sucked him off at a repetitive pace. 

“Do you want me to fuck you here, baby?” Jungkook huffed above you.

You looked up at him with innocent eyes as you deepthroated him. Saliva dripped off his cock and down your chin, a sight that would make any man sweat. You nodded and released him with a satisfying *pop*. 

“You’re so fucking sexy. Switch places with me and face the tree,” he commanded. 

You did as he said, bending over at the waist. He tugged off your bottoms, revealing your dripping core. He tantalizingly ran his tip along your folds.

“Hurry up! I don’t wanna get caught,” you complained as you wiggled your butt at him.

“So impatient,” Jungkook admonished as he slapped your ass.

You didn’t have time to complain because he jammed his dick into you immediately after his slap. You instinctively covered your mouth to suppress your moans. Your free hand toyed with your clit, rubbing it intensely. The thought of being caught at any second had you even more wet than usual. Jungkook noticed.

“You’re so wet. I’m gonna cum in no time,” Jungkook groaned as he thrust deeper into you. 

Jungkook released his load into you. You moaned as you felt his hot juices fill you up, mixing with your own mess as it dribbled down your legs. Jungkook gave your ass one last slap before rummaging for a spare napkin in the picnic bag. He cleaned you up as best as he could, but you desperately needed a shower. That’ll have to wait.

Retracing your steps, you both wound up back at the parking lot, which was perfect because the trail to the observatory was just on the other side. The once empty parking lot was now nearly full as the new arrivals made their way towards the observatory. The sun was almost fully set at this point, so it was getting a little hard to see.

“Babe look!” Jungkook shouted as he pointed to a little creature that scurried in front of you. You jump back from his sudden yell, and then lock eyes with the possum that stood in your path.

“I don’t know whether to be scared or to call it cute,” you say, clinging tightly onto Jungkook’s arm as the possum lost interest in your staring contest and continued on its journey. 

“I would say it’s cute. As long as it doesn’t attack you. Oh holy SHIT babe don’t look up!” Jungkook found himself frozen in place. 

“Huh why-- OH MY FUCKIN GOD!” you neglected to heed his warning. Looming about two feet above Jungkook’s head was a gigantic spider. The web it was dangling from was enormous. You hate all kinds of insects (yes a spider isn’t an insect, but it falls under the creepy crawly category so you hate it too) but spiders are by far the scariest to you. After you screamed you clutched Jungkook’s arm tighter, probably cutting off his circulation. 

“Okay okay just close your eyes and keep close to me. It seems like those guys are strung along the entire path,” Jungkook kept you by his side as you guys progressed past the trees. You helplessly kept your eyes closed and completely relied on Jungkook to guide you. Thankfully, it only took about three minutes to get past all the trees; the observatory was in an open clearing. Jungkook gave you the ok to open your eyes again.

“Thank you Kookie, you’re so sweet to me,” you kissed Jungkook softly on the cheek.

“Usually I’d make fun of you, but those things kinda freaked me out. So I could only imagine how scared you’d be of them. Don’t worry baby, I’ll protect you,” Jungkook returned your affection with a kiss on the forehead. 

The line for the main telescope was already long, so you guys ventured off to one of the smaller ones instead. There were three big telescopes in the overall observatory. Amateur stargazers were scattered around the deck with their personal telescopes. You saw them letting other people see through them, so you made a mental note to check them out after the main telescopes. The sun had finally set, and now the dark sky was illuminated with shining stars. 

As you waited in line, you looked back at Jungkook, who hadn’t let go of your hand this entire time. His eyes were glued to the wonders above him. His doe eyes were wide and twinkled more than you’ve ever seen before. His mouth was agape and you were amused by how captivated he was; everything about this boy was so pure. It was in that moment that you realized you had fallen head over heels for him. You wanted to tell him you loved him right then and there, but you held your tongue. You were worried that he didn’t feel the same way. Hopefully one day he could return the sentiment, but for now you will keep those three words to yourself. 

“You lot are pretty lucky! It had been cloudy for the past week. Tonight’s the first night that the sky’s been clear. It’s also the perfect night to view Saturn!” the telescope’s attendant informed the people in line.

You and Jungkook were the next people to go. You were amazed at how big the telescope was, and this wasn’t even the big main one yet. You went first. You climbed up a small step stool to get to the eye piece. You peered into it and was amazed by what you saw. The image was not the clearest, but it was pretty evident that you were looking at Saturn because of the iconic rings. Of course you could look up better pictures of Saturn online, but seeing it for yourself made it more special. Experiencing it all with Jungkook was something you would not trade for the world. You waited for Jungkook outside after you finished.

“Wasn’t that incredible ___?! We actually saw all the rings! And it’s a pretty color! I mean it’s like a reddish brown. We can call it a rusty color because that sounds cooler...ah I can’t wait to go to the main telescope,” Jungkook grabbed your hand and bounded to the next line. Watching him get so excited was enough to make getting eaten alive by mosquitoes worth it (yeah, they never ceased their attack on you).

“Is this the best date you’ve ever been on then?” you squeezed his hand as he continued to bounce up and down. His abundant energy always amazed you, and certainly came in handy in certain situations *wink wink*. 

“Oh is this a date? What? Do you like me or something, ___?” he teased, looking down at you, “Yes, this is hands down the best date I have ever been on. Thank you for suggesting this babe,” he grabbed your other hand and pulled you in for a kiss. You weren’t fond of PDA, but you’re willing to make an exception for Jungkook. 

The wait in line lasted for about half an hour, and you wondered which celestial being this telescope was being focused on. Everything around the observing deck was kept dark to make it easier to see through the telescopes. It was also advised to not look at any phone screens because your eyes would have to readjust to the darkness afterward. You and Jungkook complied with the tip for the optimal viewing experience. Jungkook was rambling about UFO conspiracy theories when you interrupted him by pointing out the fireflies behind him. They danced in the darkness of the open air, and it was your turn to be captivated. Yes, you hated insects, but fireflies had a special place in your heart. You thought they were fairies when you were younger, and you would spend hours playing with them. Your parents would even help you catch them. The nostalgia that hit automatically put a smile on your face. 

“You’re adorable, you know that ___?” Jungkook smiled as he wrapped his arms around you, “I wish you’d look at me that way,” he pouted.

“Oh shut up Kookie. I do look at you that way, but you never notice,” you stuck your tongue at him. Jungkook laughed in response. His laughter stopped and his eyes widened when he realized you guys were next in line.

“What is this one looking at?” Jungkook asked the telescope attendant. 

“Oh, all three of these are pointed at Saturn,” he replied.

“Oh no, we waited in line for so long just to look at the same thing,” you said, shoulders sagging.

“Awesome! Since this one is the biggest, does that mean that we’ll get a better view than the other two telescopes?” Jungkook asked, his eyes twinkling once again.

“Uh, technically yes. But only slightly better, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference,” the attendant replied as he let Jungkook enter.

From the way he asked, it probably didn’t bother Jungkook that he’d be seeing the same thing again. Once it was your turn, you realized the attendant was right. There wasn’t much of a difference in the quality of the image you were seeing, but it didn’t make personally seeing Saturn any less magical. 

“Seeing it a second time was super cool. Can you believe it? People a hundred years ago would have never thought they’d see Saturn with their own eyes!” Jungkook greeted you when you came out. 

“Yeah that’s all pretty dope, but I kinda wanted to see something else. Maybe some of the people who brought their own telescopes are looking at other things,” you took Jungkook’s hand and made a beeline to the amateur stargazers.

There was an interesting assortment of telescopes there. Some were big and bulky, some were sleek and aesthetically pleasing, and some just straight up looked like weapons. Multiple people were willing to let you both look through their telescopes. You both saw an additional two stars whose names you will never remember, along with seeing Saturn one last time. 

You and Jungkook stood in the middle of the deck, gazing upwards to soak in the clarity of the stars before your departure. As if the night couldn’t get any more magical, a shooting star streaked across the sky. Oohs and aahs were heard from people in the general vicinity when they saw it too. Jungkook pulled you close to him, his face inches from yours.

“You know, maybe we were lovers in a past life, because I feel like I’ve known you forever. I think you’re the most special thing in this universe. Thank you for today,” Jungkook said tenderly. 

“You’re welcome, darling. I would give you the whole world if I could,” you smiled, slowly leaning closer to him.

“For you, my dear, I’ll give you your own personal galaxy,” Jungkook practically whispered as he cupped your face and brought you in for a kiss. The kiss was the epitome of sweet, as his soft lips brushed against yours without much force. You swear you’ve never been happier in your life. Thank the stars for Jeon Jungkook.

tuesday again 11/23/21

vacation problems, baybee

listening pitch black, by sencit feat. lady blackbird (deathloop soundtrack). i do not think i will be playing this game since a particular twist was revealed to me (if i had two nickels &tc) and my backlog is already...very long, but this track is a banger. i like this more than many “real” james bond movie opening songs

reading mawrth valliis, by EPHK. the schtick is “presented in the original martian” which i think could have been a stronger creative choice if there was less dialogue? the lettering is very pretty, but it’s sort of a frustrating read. i fucking hate the character design and the twist, but the art is lovely in a very textural way, and i’m a sucker for pages like this. 126 p is not a lot of my time wasted

watching the anime otherside picnic is based off the light novel (and manga adaptation) of otherside picnic by iori miyazawa, itself based off the novel roadside picnic by the strugatsky brothers. in short, otherside picnic is a gay genderbent college AU isekai that manages to capture some of the psychological horror and financial desperation of the original. still with me? available free here (legally, even! you’re welcome).

i care about these girls in a way i don’t usually with anime. part of this is bc this anime does tick all my boxes- young lesbians figuring themselves out, who grow into a well-oiled pair that also goofs around on their off time, a perpetually exasperated handler/patron, The City Is Alive And Will Get You, it’s an adaptation of one of my favorite things, jokes about the availability and type of guns in open-world RPGs that made me laugh like a hyena. there’s a bit about someone growing their hair out that genuinely gutted me. i am probably going to buy physical copies of these light novels bc apparently the POV voice is Quite Something and they’re more explicitly gay.

the animation is Fine, the sound mixing is quite good imo, the emotional arcs were satisfying, i really love halfhour shows bc it’s so easy to watch a whole season in like three days if you’re not careful. hour-long shows are Appointment Television. that’s a Time Investment i simply do not always have

this show (unfortunately) features the US military stationed at okinawa (the marines ARE the ones most likely to get themselves into this sort of situation tbh) and therefore cannot let anything really bad happen to them although i really do think they should just be left to tear each other apart in the Zone/otherside

playing still having a Time with meshes not meshing in sable (also a piece of graffiti i needed to follow to start a quest simply...wasn’t there?) but it’s very forgivable, imo. i am willing to put up with a lot for a pretty game with mysterious solar-system spanning mysteries and wrecked ships to climb around. 4/6 of the way done with the ship AI quest and i am extremely excited and also pre-grieving what i think happened

ANYWAY. BIG DISH YAAAAAAY

making found :) dead :) moths :) in :) my :) new :) sewing :) machine :) cabinet :) so that’s been fumigated to the best of my ability, please cross your fingers i did not introduce clothes moths to my house bc that’s the last fucking thing i need (sewing machine backstory here)

so i haven’t actually started sewing anything yet, and the first thing i was going to make was a new ironing board cover, so it’s hard to prep anything. am i starting with any of the half finished projects i have already cut out? heavens fucking no we’re going to do something with this dreadful flag print i picked up in the summer. setting invisible zippers, truly my beloathed

pattern companies: it’s a shift dress...with a TWIST!

me, every time: it’s a shift dress... with a TWIST!!! :0

[darkpurpledawn]

ladling out a bowlful of hubris as I do the fanfic asks game even though I’ve been taking a writing hiatus this whole spring and summer

thank you for the tag @heavens-bookshop!

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

14. I tend to leave shorter stuff (<2500 words) on tumblr, but I have several works on Ao3 shorter than my longest tumblr ficlets

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

143,641. someday I’d like to write a fic that’s longer than that. baby steps

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

...it’s pretty much all Good Omens. back in early 2019 I wrote a few bits and pieces of (MCU) Thor fanfic, but GO is the only thing I’ve published!

4) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and Airbnb Superhost (3k, G)

Exactly what it says on the tin, in fake review format

A Visit to the Pet Shop (2k, T)

Outside POV of the herp supply store owner who encounters Crowley and Aziraphale

In Mixed Company, Or the Corporate Retreat of Heaven and Hell (52k, M)

Continuing the trend of spelling the whole fic premise in the title. it delights and amuses me to no end that this one is included in the collection “Fics in which Gabriel doesn’t suck”

Come Adore on Bended Knee (and Other Ways to Make an Angel Rejoice) (5k, M)

Friends to mutual blowjobs speedrun, Christmas edition

There Were Angels Dining at the Ice Cream Parlour (2k, T)

My first fic from back in the heady summer days of 2019

All of these are from the time the fandom was just straight up bigger, but looking at patterns among my own fics it seems like weird formats, smut, and very long and specific titles tend to do well, all of which Checks Out

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try! I feel like a goof writing replies, but I am super grateful for them and I do attempt to respond, albeit erratically. I don’t usually reply to comments that are just a few words or emojis, not because I don’t appreciate them, but because I feel a little obnoxious writing a thank you that’s longer than the comment??? idk I’m probably overthinking it

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

SO when I first started writing fanfic, I thought I was going to write all unresolved pining historical fics all the time, and accordingly, my first chaptered fic, A House in the Country, is a melancholy 1920-set slice of life in which Aziraphale and Crowley take a trip to the Lake District and pine for each other. I don’t think it’s super angsty but it ends on a somber note

7) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I was going to say no, but then I remembered one of my absolute favorite things I’ve written is technically a Good Omens/Macbeth crossover

8) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope!

9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes, inclined towards “lots of foreplay and then a weird but hopefully suggestive sequence of metaphors, all in some kind of Uncertain and Forbidden Situation”

10) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No I keep my fics locked in my fic safe and u can’t have em

11) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!!

12) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, not yet

13) What’s your all time favourite ship?

Aziraphale/Crowley, definitely. Also shoutout to Hermione/Ron and Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy...apparently my type is Person Who Excelled At Formal Education/Redhead, And They Argue A Lot

14) What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

hey hey hey I am going to finish both of my Good Omens WIPs! I do have an unpublished horror comedy WIP that I’d like to post around Halloween but am completely stuck on because I can’t decide what it should be rated, so I may use parts of that for other things if I can't pick a tone

15) What are your writing strengths?

*Mike Wazowski voice* These are the jokes, kid

I’d also say I can write sexual stuff that is not repetitive and dialogue that sounds in character. Oh, and I genuinely enjoy writing titles and summaries!

16) What are your writing weaknesses?

besides…not writing…

On a structural level, I have a tendency to take too long getting to first plot beats and then rush endings. On a sentence level I think I have a terminal case of Dependent Clause Disease that genuinely interferes with clarity

17) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

No real thoughts other than whenever I am reading an old book and someone says something in gratuitous French or one of the 12 expressions I know in Latin I feel very Smart bc the fifth grade snob lives within me

18) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

It’s been so interesting seeing responses to this question from people who have been writing fic since their early teens or childhood! I didn’t write any fanfic before 2019 or any fiction at all except for school projects. I wrote maybe 1k words of Thor fanfic that summer and then went straight on to Good Omens

19) What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

In Mixed Company, for sure. I’m hopeful that when I finish current WIPs it’ll be Lest They Be Flatmates though!

tagging @lenore-is-lost and @mllekurtz if you'd like, and anybody else who sees this post!

[sunnysviolin]

So like,,,,,, if everone were to join aubreys gang,,,,, what would it be like,,,,,

Oh nonnie...what a fantastic question :)

That was really ominous, but like yeah they’re all gonna be friends eventually

Okay so things start out...so awkward

Like supremely awkward

Sunny moves away but he only moved like an hour away, and (from what I can tell in the game) it’s the start of summer vacation, so he comes back to Faraway pretty consistently

He spends most of his time with Basil at first, but slowly he gets reintegrated with his friends

I skip over a lot of the emotional turmoil and pain in my Headcanons (mostly because I’m writing a fic right now with all of that) but yeah it’s there don’t worry! I just view the game as ultimately being about mercy so I don’t see them not finding their way back together

N E Ways

So now that they’re all together again, Aubrey really wants to merge her two groups. She knows that the hooligans have hidden hearts of gold, and her childhood friends would mesh really well with them

But there’s a lot to unpack there. Mostly the fact that the hooligans bullied Basil (and in my opinion Kel too) and Kel is overprotective

Basil would be fine with moving past the bad stuff, but that’s not because he’s okay but more to do with the fact that he thinks he deserved to be in pain all those years

Kel (sunshine boy that he is) knows that Basil deserved better than being mistreated, and he doesn’t really get why they should want to be around the hooligans at all

He very begrudgingly agrees to give it a try, but only because all of the others want to try

They agree to all hangout in their old special spot behind the park. It’s a fairly neutral location, and it’s outdoors

Kel Basil and Sunny show up first and start goofing around and getting comfortable. They sit on the dock together and are chatting about Sunnys new house

Then Aubrey shows up with her gang, and the comfortable air is gone

One of the things I never got in the game is how they all called Kel a “bully” and I honestly think that was kind of at attempt at gaslighting? Like making him think somehow he was bullying them. Kel never fell for it, but it still affected him

Now this group of people that treated him pretty badly are in one of his safe places, and that sets Kel on edge

So they’re all just sort of standing there with an awkward silence and then in an instant Kel is in a fight with Kim and Vance

Not a physical fight, but they are sharing some pretty rude insults, and it’s not great

Aubrey tries to intervene and Basil comes over to help, but Sunny stays where he is, because the emotional charge in the air is stressing him out

Hero shows up late to the game with a picnic basket and sees all the children about to tear one another apart so he intervenes

He sets the basket down next to Sunny, who was still sitting on the dock watching all of this go down and walks over to put a hand on Kels shoulder

Okay so we know Hero is Big Brother™️, but I see Hero as like one of those people that every kid wanted to be. He was smart and popular and even Aubreys gang are pulled in by his charm. Every small town has a few of these kids (speaking from experience of a small town lmao)

The hooligans were fine with fighting when it was just Kel, but Hero is one of those people you can’t really fight with and you don’t want to

Hero being there also calms Kel down because now he has someone he knows is in his corner and who won’t let their group get hurt

So they all settle down and start to eat the food Hero brought. Then they start talking and it turns out that Charlie Vance and Kim are also horror movie buffs

This brings Sunny into the discussion a bit and he starts to give a few short answers and ask some questions of his own

Basil is also being pretty quiet, but Hero manages to drag him and Angel into a discussion about photography and cameras

Aubrey is loving every second of this and she just watches both of her groups getting alone pretty well. It’s not 100% but it’s nice

They all walk out of the park as a group, and Kel surprises everyone by inviting them all over to his house to watch scary movies and eat popcorn

Normally Hero and Aubrey would veto the scary movie, but they will suffer through the terror and gore for a successful night

The hooligans agree, and then they are all in the living room of Hero and Kels house watching some D-List shitty horror movie and everyone is either terrified or laughing at how awful it is

You tried to get to know everyone at camp. It was your first time working at Camp Clear Vista and you were pretty pleased with how it was going so far, eager for the new experience and to meet some new people. The only person you knew before all of this was Sam Wescott whose family owned the camp, he was the head counselor. When he heard you hadn’t had a summer job lined up yet while also knowing you had done the whole sleepaway camp thing multiple times when you were a kid, offered you the job.

You had a little bit of trepidation because you hadn’t ever done a job like this but thought fuck it, why not? What did you have to lose? The pros far outweigh the cons in your mind, getting to spend the summer getting paid to be outdoors and active seemed much better an option than any of your previous jobs.

After the first day you had no more doubts or nerves. It was a fantastic time. When you first got there it was just you and your fellow counselors getting set up, having a whole weekend before the first batch of campers arrived. It couldn’t have gone better, working to prepare during the day and then getting to know everyone a bit better, drinks and hanging out around the fire at night, just perfect honestly.

Once that first group of campers arrived you were all so busy with your individual schedules during the day it was hard to find the time for yourself but you soon got the hang of everyone’s time tables and started to make that effort to get to know everyone. Spend some one on one time forging new friendships. One afternoon you and Jaime were free, you spent painting with her, another where you and Sam went for a swim and so it went you getting in some hang time with your fellow counselors.

This afternoon you and Steve the legendary Kayak King himself were both free and he actually approached you first. Said that he heard you had been making the rounds so he told you, “I wanna take you out on the river after lunch.”

You had been wanting to ask him to hang out for a while, hadn't yet because to be honest you may or may not have had a small crush on him. You were a few weeks into camp and had seen how good he was with the kids, at what he did, and how well he got along with your fellow counselors. Of course you started to like him, so him asking you first? Exciting to say the least, not like you expected anything to happen. After lunch you found yourself out on the water with him, he took the back of the boat to help manage the steering better. It was nice, relaxing, easy conversation flowing between you both. "Having a good time?"

You responded with, "Yeah! I haven't been in a kayak in forever."

And he let out this sound halfway between a laugh and an annoyed exhale and you looked over your shoulder to him. "Something the matter?"

He sighed and said, "Sorry just-" He hesitated and you asked, "What? C'mon spill."

"They're canoes not kayaks. Everyone always calls them kayaks but they are canoes, you know that right?" He had pulled his ore out of the water resting it across his knees.

You had never heard him use that tone, seemed actually kind of annoyed, he was normally pretty sweet, soft spoken, playful. "Geeze Stevie baby, tell me how you really feel." You teased to lighten the mood and he cracked a smile, you pulled your own ore out of the water and set it on the floor by your feet.

"I know, I know it's just semantics to you but it's important to me!" His passion was endearing.

You asked "So you're an expert on canoes then, not kayaks, so how'd the nickname happen?" You turned carefully so you were sitting facing him.

"Who do you think started it?" He asked and you and he both smiled wider and said at the same time, "Good ol' Sammy boy!"

A shared laugh, you and the rest of the counselors took to calling him that, just a dumb joke that started the first week of camp from how Brad had greeted him. You all would mock how he said it, the tone and impressions getting more ridiculous as camp went along.

"So does it bug you?" He set the ore down and asked, "The nick name?"

You nodded and he gave a small shrug, "I mean sure it's inaccurate but it comes from a place of love I know that."

He was right, everyone loves Steve the Kayak King. "Yeah exactly! Everyone sees that you know your shit and it's their way of recognizing it."

"Awe stop." Just like Sam he had trouble accepting compliments but fuck that, he deserved to be proud of himself. You reached out, playful push of his shoulder as you said simply "No."

"No?" He asked, the tone was playful and you confirmed, "No. I'm just gonna keep complimenting you."

He nudged your shoulder back in just the same way you had done to him and asked, "Are you now?"

"Mmm. I am. Nothing you can do to stop me either." His hand on your knee, moving closer to you, "Nothing? Well, go on." His hand slid up and your gaze dropped to his hand watching it move. Could only think of one thing to say, "You've got some great hands."

"Barely done anything with them yet."

Yet?

You liked the sound of yet. You liked the sound of yet so much that you decided to try and get there a little faster, the way he was looking at you, he obviously was into you the same way, very sure of yourself you reached out and your hand met the back of his neck pulling him to you. He knew just what you were after, leaning in that extra bit and kissing you and fuck was it good.

See thing about Steve The Kayak King was he had a bit of a reputation at camp, you knew that you were not the first person he was hooking up with and certainly wouldn’t be the last. You heard Imani affectionately refer to him as a “-whore with a heart of gold.”

He was nothing but nice and respectful but he got around just a little, wasn’t much for commitment. More power to him for knowing what he wanted.

You remember Sam and you getting drunk once a while back at a mutual friends party, before he had even hired you for the counselor position and he told you about Steve the eponymous Kayak King himself. Talked about this one night that they shared and Sam swore up and down that “-I’m not gay but when Steve The Kayak King comes onto you? Well you sure as shit don’t say no.”

From how he talked about it he didn’t regret it for one second and it sounded like it was a damn good time. He almost sounded forlorn too, like he wanted more but Steve The Kayak King simply cannot be tied down, but enough about Sam Wescott’s obvious latent bisexuality he had yet to come to terms with.

It certainly piqued your interest in him before you ever even came to camp so when you met him of course the idea of getting to find out first hand crossed your mind.

Getting to have it turned out to live up to the hype. Which was impressive considering all you had heard. Drew told you the first night of camp when you all went looking for that Woodcarver mask, which no one ended up finding by the way, she ended up with him in the forest and that her legs practically gave out under her when he was behind her. “Thank God I was holding onto that tree so tight!” She laughed and you laughed right along with her as you crossed your legs just a bit tighter at the thought.

She wasn’t the only one who had a similar story about him.

Even the camp’s cook Buddy Swanson admitted that when his usual help was indisposed one night, he was feeling sick, Steve stepped up and offered to help out. He helped Buddy make dinner and serve it and it went great. You recalled Buddy telling you, “I offered up a high five and it turned into a hug and that turned into him and I making out in the walk-in fridge somehow.” You questioned him, “How-?”

Buddy threw his hands up, “Don’t fucking ask me! I have no idea how he did it but it happened.” Before you could ask him he filled in the blank for you. “And yes it was good.”

You asked. “Yeah?” Buddy let out this kind of breathless laugh as he said, “Yeah. Good enough for him and I to jerk each other off in that same fridge.”

That really said it all, didn’t it?

That make out session in the kaya-sorry, canoe, escalated and you encouraged it. The way his hands held your hips and he sucked on your bottom lip made you let out a soft moan into his mouth before you were kissing him deeper in return and your own tongue now in the mix. He gripped harder and your hands found him and started to wander, you could feel how strong he was even through the material of that polo shirt he had on. Heat was beginning to pool between your thighs and then you were breaking away to breathlessly ask him to show you just what those hands of his could do.

“I got a better idea.” A better idea? Well whatever he had in mind you were sure it would be good. His hands closed around your wrists, pulling your arms out, placing your hands on either side of the canoe, “Hold on.”

You listened and his hands were then working on opening your shorts, unbuttoning them and you were arching your hips, he pulling them down until they were hanging off of one of your ankles along with your underwear, he spread your legs wide, knees bent and he looked into your eyes. “Stay.”

“Stay?” You asked with a bit of doubt from the unexpected command and he got onto his knees in front of you, “If you don’t want us to capsize? Then yes. Stay right-” His strong hands on your inner thighs as he said with a bit more force, “-fucking there.”

He pulled you just a bit more, your almost off the edge of the seat you were on, fully spread and exposed to him, you felt like such a mess already, the afternoon sun beating down wasn’t helping, you felt so hot. From the temperature and from what he was doing, your head was almost swimming already.

Then one of your legs was thrown over his shoulder and before you could protest a second more he was going down on you.

“Ah! Oh God-” You couldn’t help the moan you let out. Very happy that you were both alone, far away from camp on this river surrounded by the trees, you could be loud if you wanted to and you probably would be.

Fuck the way his tongue worked, running over you, taking a bit of time, taking in your reactions, seeing which spots made your breath catch and your thighs tense. The way when he flicked his tongue just so you would practically keen as you squirmed in your seat. HIs hands gripped your hips again, holding tight, his gaze flicking up to your face as he said against your wet and sensitive skin, “Stop moving so much or you’ll tip us.”

“Easy for you to sa-” You started to reply but his mouth latched back onto you and instead your back arched with a loud moan. “Fuck! Yes-Jus-” a gasp and eyes screwing shut, he sucked and his tongue swirled and your toes curled in your sneakers. You could barely get out any coherent sentence, you could almost feel him smile against you as you stuttered out, “Jus-just like that, oh shit!”

It was unfair, how the fuck did he pick up on what you liked so quick? You knew he had experience but honestly this was ridiculous, maybe the fact you were so into him, had been thinking about this for weeks, the semi-public situation was all getting to you? Not to mention that since getting to camp you had been slacking on your solo time, usually so busy during the day and by the time you fell into bed you were too exhausted and would fall asleep almost immediately. Plus getting any time totally alone around here between kids and co-counselors was a tall task.

It had been at least two weeks since you had properly had a session, this was so fucking needed, you were totally lost in the feeling, it felt so damn good, pleasure coiling low in your belly, breathing erractic.

You were getting so fucking close and weren’t sure quite how to warn him, not like you could think much at all right now. You think you were talking, could hear yourself babbling out something but weren’t even really registering it, meaningless words falling from your lips as you couldn’t hold back. Hips rocking gently, gaining a little bit of extra friction and you were on the edge now, about to tip over and you were being much louder and just when you thought you were about to cum he was pulling back. His hands sliding down your hips and resting on your upper thighs, he was-

Laughing? Your leg still hooked over his shoulder, looking down at him, very confused, “Wha-What’s wrong? Why’d you stop?”

One of his hands coming up to his mouth, still laughing, he was looking back at you and the back of his hand wiped some of your mess and his spit away, damn he did like to get messy with it, didn’t he?

His laughter was finally dying down a bit as he asked, “Sorry, I know you were almost there but fuck’s sake how could I not laugh when you said that?” What was he talking about, he caught the look on your face, still very fucking confused and he was smiling wider, “Oh don’t tell me you didn’t realize-”

Still your expression did not change and he laughed again. He brought your leg down off his shoulder and was standing up on his knees now, leaning up, he gestured for you to lean in and what he whispered in your ear made you bury your head in your hands. “No, no way, I fucking didn’t-”

He was leaning back on his heels wide grin as he nodded, “Yeah you fucking did!”

He informed you that when you were close you actually moaned out that stupid fucking nick name, instead of moaning out something like “Dear God yes-” or “I’m gonna cum-” or just fucking anything else, no you couldn’t even just cry out “Steve.”

You said the whole thing, Steve the fucking Kayak King, while he was between your spread thighs. You were mortified. He was still snickering over it and then his hands came up and closed around your wrists and he pulled your hands down, “Hanging around Sam too much, aren’t you?”

He was right. You hanging around Sam so much affected you, he always said it all together and everyone else had taken to it just as you had, it came out without you thinking. “Yes, definitely hanging with him too much. I am so sorry-”

“Hey, hey, no sweat. It was funny! Memorable for sure, it’ll make a great story.” He said it with a softer smile and it made something melt a little bit inside of you, he was just too caring, even when you just did the most ridiculous thing ever. Steve the Kayak King himself had called your hook up memorable. You were memorable. Why did that feel so good?

You couldn’t help it and you leaned forward, pressed a kiss to his lips and he returned it, letting go of your wrists and his hands came to your lower back, tugged you closer and fuck, he still hard.

A good sign that you hadn’t totally killed the mood. You squirmed and ground against him and then heard his breath catch in his throat. You reached down and started to take care of his shorts, soon reaching inside and your hand closer around him and you took the lead from there under the hot summer sun, boat rocking gently as you and kept it up. Joking, teasing, touching and kissing, and thanks to him you didn’t manage to tip the boat. Though there were a few close calls.

On the way back to camp with the taste of him still on your lips and the evidence of your hook up leaking into your underwear you couldn’t help smiling as you thought that yeah it must be pretty fucking great to be The Kayak King, even if there wasn’t a single kayak in sight.
