#THEY ARE EACH TAKING BABY STEPS AND I'M PROUD 🥺

[howthesleeplesswander]

As Lord van Zieks rose from his chair, Kazuma expected that he would indeed take his leave for the night. But instead he turned to the cabinet full of those absurdly ornate chalices, and although Kazuma's attentive gaze caught the withdrawal of not one, but two cups, he was somehow still caught off-guard by the request that followed.

Not an easy feat to accomplish. He was always at the ready: poised to tackle any task with vigor and aplomb. This, however, was perhaps the first time Kazuma was unprepared for a task laid before him.

But no—he quashed that waver of uncertainty the moment it bloomed. The initial shock may have rendered him stunned for a moment, but in truth, Kazuma had long since been searching for an opportunity like this.

Despite their weeks of collaboration since that fateful trial, neither party had ever addressed those events...at least, not as directly as they deserved. Kazuma wasn't one to dance around a subject, but there simply hadn't been time—not when there was such deep history, so many wrongs, so much regret. The air around such a topic couldn't be cleared in a few stolen minutes throughout a busy day. Trying very well may just make things worse. He would be a fool not to seize this chance.

After a few beats of silence, Kazuma set down his quill. "I'm hardly a wine expert." A gross understatement, considering he'd never had it before, but he wouldn't back down from the new experience any more than he would back down from a conversation so long overdue. "If you don't mind the selection of a novice, however, I can choose for us, if you wish," he continued, the statement serving as clear acceptance of the offer.

Rising from the floor, Kazuma ventured into the back alcove where the bottles were kept. He only spared a moment glancing over them. Each was the same as the next as far as he was concerned; and the wine they would be drinking hardly mattered. He selected one at random that at least had a label he could read and headed back out into the main office.

Determination coursed through him with every footfall. He didn't yet know his mentor's reasons for asking to speak with him like this, but regardless, Kazuma's own reasons would not be swayed. They had much to discuss.

"A fitting choice, I hope?" he posed as he held the bottle out to his mentor. "Though, it's hard to say without knowing the occasion." His posture remained strictly at attention. He couldn't rule out the possibility that Lord van Zieks had some sort of business to discuss, in which case it was his duty as apprentice to address such matters first before steering the conversation himself. "Is there something you wish to discuss?"

It was — difficult, this dynamic of theirs. A novel and personal trial. For a decade, what his colleagues thought of Lord Barok van Zieks had meant little to him; it was time and concern he could not have spared. The burden of London's collective judgement had sat heavy ( still sat heavy ) upon his shoulders, and it had taken every ounce of strength and of hard-practised aristocratic dignity to carry himself tall... as though his pride, throughout it all, had remained unscathed despite the blotting of his name.

( He had thought there was little else they could have done. That anyone could have done. And, oh, how he had thought wrong. )

It was a wonder that Kazuma wanted anything to do with the van Zieks name after that trial. But the Asogis were ever full of surprises... like father, like son. And so young Asogi's apprenticeship continued, this time without the oppressive hand of the previous Lord Chief Justice to smother his flame.

It was a frightening thing, at times, that boldness and that unrelenting will. Reminiscent of a vengeful ire that had, ten years before, sent Barok's own dear friend to a wrongful death.

But where Barok had only had Lord Stronghart to feed his mournful rage, Asogi — with support, and with Naruhodo's endless pursuit of truth to guide his spirit home — had surmounted the odds and the deception. He had entered London as a fragment of a man without a name nor face, burning so desperately for answers that he leapt at the chance to snap hungry jaws at any throat Stronghart offered him. And, despite Stronghart's wretched misguidance, Asogi had fought and clawed his way out from the wreckage of the trial, incorrupt and quick to once again find purpose.

... Barok envied Asogi, on the worst of days.

Today, he didn't bother to suppress his snort of amusement.

❛ Hrm. ❜ Stubborn as a mule. Some things never changed; Barok knew better than to try and argue. ❛ So be it. ❜

He glanced at the sheathes of papers at Asogi's side and then at the darkened skies outside their window, contemplating.

No, there was no avoiding it. Not for long, in any case, unless Barok was willing to gamble his sanity whenever he next dared to glance at his apprentice, hoping that it would be Kazuma's brow furrowed in concentration across the office, rather than the visage of a ghost long past. The face of a man whose blood would stain Barok's hands forever.

He and Asogi ought to speak soon. Candidly, and without their business to distract them. It was only right.

He stepped out of his seat, turning to the cabinet beside his desk and plucking out a pair of chalices. With his back still turned to Asogi: ❛ You know where the bottles are kept — by the far wall, at the end of the kegs, all labelled and shelved by region and their age. Some imported and some bottled here... take your pick out of them, if you have a preference or perhaps any burning curiosities. If not, I will select a wine for tonight. ❜

Barok paused for a moment, halfway through wiping the insides of the glasses, and huffed out a restrained, barely audible sigh.

❛ ... if you won't mind joining me, that is. ❜

It was somewhat daunting: the idea of at last keeping Asogi company where their work was not concerned. But he was set upon forcing himself at last to nudge the quasi-comfortable line that master and apprentice had clumsily drawn thus far.

In his deep rumination, he had almost forgotten Asogi's say.

landonorris Five years ago, my best friend blessed me with another tiny best friend. I remember when I held Olivia in the arms for the first time, and I never felt so connected with someone.

Your last ask about the reverse Robin's au was just so interesting . Please, could you tell us more about Tim and Damian in that au. Also, poor baby Jason. Bruce why are you always like that with Damian? 🥺 I just love how both Jason and Tim have this respect for Damian. Oh and what would happen with Dick?

Of course! Thank you for your interest in them. Damian and Tim's relationship in that reverse robin AU is one I'm so happy with, so I'd love to share more. (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧

Damian + Tim (ft. Superboyfriends)

In that period of time where Tim bounces and Damian is left to mind Jason's becoming of Robin (+ Bruce), he gets a lot of grief from Jon about how Damian went about everything

And Damian is so stubborn about it. Because his feelings might be a bit hurt over Tim abandoning him, but also because in his mind, Damian isn't wrong: Tim is more than Robin; always was.

Jon understanding where Damian was coming from, but insisting there's better ways to go about it

Which Damian refuses to entertain, come off it. Jon does if only for a time; if only because Damian is genuinely sore over how everything fell apart

With time though, Jon dropping in little anecdotes on how Tim is doing at Titans Tower. Because Jon hears about Tim from Kon.

And Damian plays aloof, but he hangs on every word on how Tim's doing, what he's been up to, what amazing feat he's accomplished.

Damian feeling the same pride, but it's tinged by a painful melancholy because he misses the bastard.

With more time and a lot of interference, Damian coming to realize how he should have handled matters. Not that he makes an effort to right them. Damian writes himself off, resigned to reap what he's sown. Not that he was entirely wrong. Jason still proves to be a tremendously capable Robin, it's just...it would be nice for Tim to have been here to be part of it all.

Kon relaying similar stories about Damian to Tim. Who always clicks his tongue and scowls but gives himself away by looking expectantly at Kon whenever he stops talking.

Just two proud boys doing the classic bat brooding and miscommunications. But it's chill because they've got their supers there conspiring to bring them together again.

Because fr Jon and Kon are so over having to schedule around when they sneak over their boyfriends overnight, y'know?

Also idk, just Damian and Tim wanting to reach out but doing the dramatic deleting of a text or dropping their phones to their chests without making a call. Turning away from their phones outright. Good stuff.

These two eventually running into each other on missions that happen to coincide. An initial standoffishness that falls away as they fall back into old habits with each other, only to realize the mistake and get all sulky/broody about it again.

But they do start to talk at some point. It's stilted at first, but soon enough the usual banter returns and it's all quiet shoulder checks and ornery, playful torments.

Damian ultimately eating crow about the whole situation. Tim brushing it off because he knows Damian cares for people in extremes. Not that Damian was right about anything. Just - talk to Tim next time.

Which leads to another step towards proper partnership for these two and it's sweet. ;U;

As for Dick's introduction in this AU... I'm admittedly torn between who seeks him out. It'd be cute if it were Jason reaching out after the tragedy at Haly's, but like... Jason whump opportunity so:

It's Damian who takes Dick under his wing and wants to give him the Robin mantle

Only he's learned from his mistake with Tim, so this time he talks with Jason about it, first.

And the thing is - they were all there to see the tragedy happen. Jason was right there beside Damian as he comforted this inconsolable boy, orphaned by Gotham's turpitude and their family's inability to ever get ahead of it.

So Jason would see in real time as Damian makes this decision and it would be the most devastating thing.

Because months/years later, Jason is still recovering from Ethiopia. He's trying so damn hard, too. He's almost okay, almost ready... but the truth is that he'll never get back to that level he was before he was beaten so terribly. Even if Jason can push himself, there are times his hip still gives out, or his ankle collapses under him. Psychologically he's as sound as the next bat, but physically? Jason can't recover.

Even still, Jason clings to Robin like a lifeline. That's his hope. His connection to Damian and Tim and Bruce; his family.

So to watch as Damian sees Robin's future in someone else is painful. There's nothing Jason can do to stop it, either. Whether Damian asks for his opinion or not, the choice is made.

'He needs this.' Damian would tell him, compassionate and cruel all at once. And Jason would hate him a bit because, 'what about me?'

Just Jason joining the ranks of the middle children with Tim, y'know? ;u;

Something something Jason withdrawing from Damian. A chasm building and all the insecurities and resentment festering. Bargains about how Dick can stay with Bruce, but Jason can be Damian's [Robin].

Jason fighting tooth and nail for his place in the family, but maybe hurting himself because he pushes too hard? Which sparks concern-induced-rage!Damian who snaps at him out of worry, but Jason takes it as a personal attack and it's sadness as they fight and fall out

Meanwhile Dick's out here completely enamored with this boy that tries so hard and fights so viciously and has so much passion. So he follows Jason around and wears him down and soothes the hurt of whatever abandonment/betrayal Jason feels somehow. Something like Dick promising to take care of Robin & Damian until Jason can do it himself. Or wanting to fly beside Jason - two Robins! Ahhhhhh, these two boys finding the essence of Robin in each other and that being their foundation.

Can you write a luke Patterson fanfic where the reader is also apart of their own band? 🥺🥺

Still into you ( Luke Patterson x reader)

Warnings : brief mention of alcohol but no one actually drinks brief swearing not a lot of use of ( y/n) pet names ( babe baby)

very fluffy. The story also takes place in 1994 a year before the boys death

READERS POV

" Thank you everyone for coming tonight . Until next time!" I smile while running off stage with the rest of my band. E just performed one of the biggest shows for our band tonight . One step closer to playing the orpheum. " That was sick guys!" My bandmate and lead guitarist Natalie cheers. " We're gonna play the orpheum soon." " That we are Nat. if we keep performing like that we will be opening for bands like Green Day , The Smashing Pumpkins , hell maybe even Blink 182." I fantasize draping an arm across Natalie's shoulders.

" Someones at the door." Darcie calls out. She walks over opening it and there stands my boyfriend Luke Patterson and his band mates. He smiles brightly walking over to me. "Hey baby. You were great out there." My bass player Crystal clears her throat behind us making us turn around. " Right sorry you were all great out there tonight . " Crystal smirks, " Thank you Luke." All the other girls giggle and thank him too.. Alex walks over bringing me into a hug. " I'm so proud of you. You too ladies!" He says making sure to compliment them so he doesn't make anyone feel left out.

Luke walks up behind me kissing my cheek."you guys should come over to Bobby's. we've got a party set up with snacks and drinks." "Snacks?" Darcie hops up off the couch . "Drinks? What kind of drinks?" Yazmin my drummer questions."soda water juice I don't know." " Alcohol ?" Bobby shakes his head no. " My parents would kill me if we had alcohol " " damn it." Sighs Yazmin. " Come on guys lets go." Luke grabs my hand leading me to his car.

* TIME SKIP*

We arrive at Bobby's which is also the boys' studio. The studio is decorated with balloons streamers and there's even a banner with our bandwrote across it. In the middle of the room is a table with different snacks and drinks. " Babe you didn't have to do this or us." "Yeah well we wanted to. You're our friends and we are proud of you guys." I hug him while holding his face kissing him. " I love you. " I love you too" " hey lovebirds come hang out with us." Reggie butts in.

We all sit around for the next few hours playing games talking about music and filling up on junk food " hey darcie come here." She walks over to me sipping on her Capri sun like its Don Perignon. "What's up?" " I think I wanna play the song." darcie smiles. " Great I'll go tell the girls." "Thank you you're the best." I hug her before she runs off to get the girls. " You having fun?" Luke wraps his arm around my shoulder "yeah I am. Again you didn't have to do this. " Babe you guys literally played one of the biggest shows of your career. You're closer to playing the orpheum than we are." He laughs. "Maybe." "Y/N" come here." Natalie pulls my hand dragging me to over to the boys' instruments.

I walk up to the microphone stand adjusting it to my height. " Boys if we can have your attention wed like to play a special song. " The boys sit down to watch us. Like looks at me with love filled eyes. Yazmin starts in on the drums as I sing.

"Can't count the years on one hand

That we've been together

I need the other one to hold you

Make you feel, make you feel better

It's not a walk in the park

To love each other

But when our fingers interlock,

Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

Cause after all this time I'm still into you"

I smile as I grab the mic off the stand dancing around.

"I should be over all the butterflies

But I'm into you (I'm into you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let 'em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you"

I continue dancing as the look of love grows in Luke's eyes.

" Recount the night that

I first met your mother

And on the drive back to my house

I told you that, I told you that I loved ya"

* FLASHBACK *

I still remember the first night met Emily. She was so welcoming and so sweet. Her and I got along so well we baked cookies after dinner. When Luke took me home sat in the car thinking about how in love with him I truly was. "I love you Luke." Luke braked and pulled off to the side of the road. " What?" " I love you Luke Patterson." He took one last look at me before kissing me. " I love you too" Ever since we've grown more in love with each other day by day.

* FLASHBACK OVER*

"You felt the weight of the world

Fall off your shoulder

And to your favorite song

We sang along to the start of forever

And after all this time I'm still into you"

I sang the chorus once more as I jump and dance around feeling the happiness of the song.

" Well, some things just,

some things just make sense

And one of those is you and I

Some things just,some things

just make sense And even after all this time"

I make my way over to Luke standing in front of him.

" I'm into you and baby not a day

Goes by that I'm not into you."

I pull Luke up off the couch to sing the chorus with me our voices mixing together in the perfect harmony.

" I'm still into you."

We finish the song looking into each others eyes forheads pressed together. " I love you." We say in unison laughing before kissing. As we pull away our friend clap for us making me giggle. " That song was incredible." " Thank you. And thank you again for being the incredible inspiration"

AUTHOR SPEAKS:

hi teach! how are you? i'm kinda new to your account and i gotta say i adore your writing 😌✨

Hi baby ❤️ your words are making me incredibly happy, you have no idea! And you're absolutely right, there is barely anything out there written for him so let's change that shall we? 😍

Relationship headcanons

Characters : Best jeanist/ Gender neutral reader

Genre : Fluff/ Suggestive themes/ Headcanons

Please do not read if you're a minor

Masterlist|Second Masterlist

SFW :

Meeting the pro hero for the very first time, you were instantly captivated by his flamboyant personality and alluring appearance, however, his eccentricity was a bit too much for you to handle, which was why you kept a little distance between you two, and settled for admiring him from afar.

That was until you learned more about him, and understood that underneath that charming surface, lays a selfless and brave man, one who strives to spread peace and serenity among civilians, even at the expense of his own safety -like a real hero should do-.

When you finally gathered up the courage to confess your newly discovered feelings for him, you were met with a concealed smile from underneath his ridiculously high collar, he was pleasantly surprised to learn about your sentiments and fervently confessed his own.

Being with him is a literal adventure, he is mesmerizing and does everything passionately which is exciting. He is straightforward, and you love that about him.

He has always been proud of you, cheering you on and motivating you to follow your dreams no matter how tough things get.

He talks about you all the time, he just manages to find a way to slip your name into any conversation he's having, no matter if serious or casual said conversation is, he's just smitten and never gets bashful to show it.

You love shopping dates with him, he just has the best taste in clothes and you end up with amazing pieces of garments each and every time.

In addition, he makes you try them out for him once you're home, like a little fashion show just for his eyes. He enjoys your excitement and the little twirls you do in order for him to have a good look at the way they fit you, and he finds himself unable to keep his hands and lips away from you, turning your fitting session into a make out one, -or something even spicier-.

You are his confidant(e) and he trusts you with his life, keeping nothing hidden from you, and seeking your advice when things get tough.

NSFW :

He's so vocal during your intimate times, and body worship is his thing! He enjoys praising you while his lips and fingers cover every inch of your skin. He usually uses fabric related descriptions to address you during those moments, such as: soft, elegant, firm, silky, shiny, velvety, luxurious.

He has an extremely sensitive neck, something you always use to your advantage, because just a simple touch of your fingertips to his skin can bring the most delicious groans out of his mouth. And you usually don't stop at that, adding your lips and teeth to the mix and relishing the goosebumps appearing under your touch.

He goes nuts when you put on a sexy lingerie set for him, not only because of how alluring and enticing you would look, but also because of the way his fingers glide along the delicate fabric before reaching your flesh.

He is passionate and extremely gentle with you, he never does anything hurriedly and always asks how you're feeling before taking the next step. You communicate well and tell each other instantly if one of you wishes to take things slower, or do them harder and faster.

His mouth can do wanders, wether he's kissing your lips, nibbling on your earlobe, sucking on your neck or teats, plunging his tongue into the wetness between your legs, you are always writhing and shuddering and begging for more. And it's vice versa, because you -too- get to witness his aroused expression and needy pleas everytime the roles are reversed.

Hello, dropping in to inquire about 10, 11, 29 for the ask game! I’m the reader who said I was going to slowly savor LDOMLT and obviously that was false because not only did I finish all 80,000+ words so far, I’ve also now binged most of your masterlist all within one weekend 😵‍💫! Hahah you’re just that good! It’s been a while since I’ve met characters I’ve loved as much as the LDOMLT crew… can’t wait to see what Baby Goth is up to🥹

oh my gosh 😩 you're so sweet but also sekjfhdgkjfdg THAT'S SO MUCH PORN LMAO pls... stay hydrated.... 🫠 i'm so honored tho seriously, so glad to hear you're enjoying my stuff!!! 🙇‍♀️ thank u for reading my love, and for these questions! 💜

10. What work was the quickest to write?

i banged out basically all of my shorter drabbles in one sitting with minimal looking back, so probably one of those 🤣 but five minutes and love the way you wear that also came out super quickly! i actually wrote five minutes entirely on a plane/in an airport so..... lmfaoooo

11. What work took you the longest to write?

well the obvious answer is LDOMLT 😵‍💫 i plotted the thing back in april (april!!) and i cannot manage to post more than one chapter a month just because of how much concentrated effort it takes to put each part together. i think only @haliiimede and @monimonimoon know how much i stress about every little thing down to.... quite literally the tiniest details that probably none of y'all care about 💀 but i'm a PERFECTIONIST 🔪

the other longest-in-progress work i have is still not fucking written sfhidurgkjfg but i have had a taehyung strangers to lovers oneshot set in nyc outlined since fucking MAY 👹 ..... my goal is to write it and post it (belatedly) for his birthday so 🥺 look for it in like... january ???

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

eeeee will stick a few under the cut if you care 💜

skipping the deeply smutty stuff (tho i will say i'm very proud of what's in deep end and heartless) 😵‍💫 but a couple sfw faves:

from self control

It’s like he wants the pain, would elect to be gutted and splayed down the middle if only for proof that his heart remains there in his chest, beating quiet consistency.

from the shape of your body

This body that you know from every angle, that you’ve studied like a textbook, that holds the boy who stepped onto the subway and changed your life and made it better. This body, made to be adored, to be respected and cherished and filled up with love. This body, chosen to be shared with you, to be held by you, to be near you.

That’s all you want, you realize as he rolls over, brown eyes blinking sweetly at you. This body, and all that it holds: the darkness and the light, the pain and the beauty, the soul that so perfectly fits with yours.

from babygirl

You trace a finger delicately over the hem of his— well, your— shirt, where it rests under the firm structure of his chest. His eyes drop closed as you run the whole of your palm down, admiring his duality: boyish and beautiful, defined muscles with an itty-bitty waist. “I feel like I just won the bisexual lottery.” A dreamy laugh bubbles up in him, his abs fluttering under your hand. 

and then idk i really love all the fratboy slander and the description of jk making reader a drink in the beginning of the spins ehuigkdjgslg

okay that's enough tooting my own horn beep beep BYEEEEEE

AO3 wrapped ask game!

[ohsonowyouwantahazel]

nice to meet you

@wishroomness - webtoon

season 1

woah. i am so glad i found this webtoon all over again because it made me so happy back then

mew appleby is first of all an adorable name? i am so in love with her. second of all she's so kind and wonderful but not in a pretty privilege quirky way but in a genuinely dorky baby.

also she is neurodivergent and autistic as hell because she has basically zero space perception and has a special interest in design and is so ding dang adorable. i love her. i see so much of myself in her. god. she's so precious.

day-zee (daze, hehe) is very lovely teehee, him studying culinary arts is a surprise. between the two of them they're very calm and adorable.

holy shit wyn is a filmmaking major??? besties!!!! oh, baby boy you are maybe demiromantic if you haven't liked anyone before. and i do not even blame him for liking mew. have you seen the girl? she's adorable. i was convinced even lia would be into her.

there was a point i started crying because I know exactly what it's like to be mew because she's just really nice but everyone is so fucking bitchy to her. i know that no one is ever a shitty person inherently but she doesn't deserve all the crap because her kindness isn't quirky - it comes from the fact that she's so deeply sad and pained and chooses to be joyful for her sake and everyone's sake. because she likes herself at the end of the day. god, it made me sob so much because why do people just vilify neurodivergence so much? (do not even dare argue w me about that -_-)

simon. my lil fruitcake. my cutie broodie pie. he's so (fic) yoongi-coded because of the music production & sporty gayness. he's such a truly amazing friend and i'm so glad mew has him. good luck with miles!

mickey- i almost got so bad until i realised he's just a lovesick little boy who wants to look out for his dazey :( i hope he finds happiness soon!

i'm generally not a fan of love triangles but i just adore mew and her autistic girlhood that it makes me so happy to see people like her. so ya, make what of that you will.

i absolutely adore this webtoon to no end. it deserves so much love & the self references are so cute. the fashion is through the roof. i love the uni life - i wanna have that kind of a life so much looking forward to catching up with season 2!

wyn is definitely demiromantic for the rate at which his feelings are being developed for mew. poor baby :(

i'm hoping so much that they (wyn and daze) talk about their feelings to each other because they're such sweethearts :( and mew's chest hurting because something happened, oh boy.

wyn hallucinating is so me & ooo miles is a sweet older brother IT'S GREAT THAT THEY'RE COMMUNICATING BUT WHY AM I HAVING A SENSE OF IMPENDING DOOM?

…….the FUCK you mean he REJECTED HER? DUDE? WHY? :(((( the way this story is defying all cliches and making me so warm and cuddly and safe and homely with it

oh she really is gonna die because bbg WATCH YOUR STEP

…… okay so mickey likes daze / daze likes mew / wyn also likes mew / mew also likes daze. that's fucking crazy? and somehow despite one set of people liking each other, they're not together. wow. truly slice of life.

oh dazey :( he has to deal with so much. oh. i really hope all of them find love and happiness and stability together please 🥺

oh :((( the gramma is the one she meets that tells her all these and that's why she loves ducks. oh that is SO adorable.

mew appleby you are indeed doing so good!! i am SO proud of you! wyn looking at mew and daze and daze looking at wyn and mew my bro why not date at once

daze tells wyn that they're a good match?????

MY BRO I DO NOT CARE WHO ENDS UP WITH WHO I JUST REALLY HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAPPY

i love when comics do not have unwanted bullshit and garbage about miscommunication. like yes please communicate inconveniently because it is just better this way.

oh mew is blushing? oh i am SO excited for where this is heading!!!! also congratulations to miles for taking the deal!!!! sho proud of you!!

wyn you are such a beautiful boy and i truly hope you find so much happiness and i adore you muah

omg simon & miles oh my GOSH please? woah.

i am on chapter 70 and why am i so suspicious of this story because how is it gonna end in 9 chapters? something is off?

bro. mew not being able to decide between cakes is this about a poly? i am begging you let it be a poly!

ofc it's daze this happens all the time with love triangles. AUTHOR I LOVE YOU BUT WHY NOT THE POLY >:( grrrr

……. so it's NOT daze but WYN but author-nim why did you condense the story like that (also i literally was hoping for it to be wyn because i just thought it would make more sense even tho daze works better) but :( maybe the author has had issues (i know better than to be mean to them) BUT JRBDJDBDN WHAT IS THAT ENDING I DO NOT LIKE IT BUT OH WYN AND MEW BEING ENDGAME IS ADORABLE ;]

final thoughts: this author and this story have been way too amazing for the ending to be done for a bad reason so i am more than glad to understand why the author might have rushed. that being said, i think wyn & mew are so deeply cute and adorable and i don't think daze moved on from his feelings but i think he did deserve a chance to explore them better. i love the subversion of the second male lead ending up with the protagonist so no complains there, i wish the story was given more time by the executives (not the author). all of that being said, i fucking love wyn & mew. i'm so happy for the gang to have started a better life together. i love that mew took time for herself to figure everything out. i hope i get to know more about all of them one day! thank you @/wishroomness for this.

[jslittlebirdie]

Hiii🥰🥰🥰🥰 how're you? I finally remembered to send you that hyper-specific Arthur ask😭💀 I swear, if my head wasn't already attached to my body, I'd lose it😂😂😂

Okay, so!

Most afternoons when I come home from work, I've got my bag and Arthur's hoodie still on (🥹😍🙏), my shoes are on, and I'm stood in the middle of my bedroom staring vacantly into space. I gotta take my shoes and coat off, I gotta make dinner and eat it and do the dishes, I gotta shower and take my hair down and brush it and rebraid it for bed, I gotta study and holy shit Erika there's too much to do and no time and I can't breathe and -

Just Arthur walking in and seeing me frozen in place but my mind is racing and I'm so stressed I don't know what to do? I need him so much but I feel like, with 9 weeks of uni work to do in a month, he'd be so disappointed and that fact breaks my heart every damn day. If I'm never enough for me then how can I ever be enough for him?💔

This turned venty and I apologise for that! I just thought some context would help with the question😭🫂🫂🫂💕💕💕

Hiiii Erika🥺🫂💜💜 I totally understand that and I'm sorry you're always this tired and exhausted. You don't deserve that. Please try to be as gentle with yourself as you can. I love you and I'm proud of you. And please know that you can always vent or talk to me about anything and everything. Asks or DMs. Long or short messages. I'm here for you as best as I can. Well, I'm still not sure if my answer is helpful or not, but I tried. Feel free to tell me if you want to have a better response💜

Yes, Arthur walking in and seeing you. His dark brows are furrowed with concern, but there's also a little smile on his lips when he notices you wearing his hoodie. He clears his throat to make his presence known and not startle you. He knows you, you're his fawn. His sweet thing. His love. You can feel his hands on your shoulders, squeezing them gently, and hear his soft voice. Arthur will tell you that it's okay, that you are not alone. He knows how exhausted you are and that your brain feels foggy. He understands. You both know that he's been there too, mentally and physically exhausted. So he will help you, slowly, your hand in his. One step at a time. If you want and need, Arthur will help you change clothes, something soft and comfy. And you can keep his hoodie, it makes his heart melt and beat faster to see you like this. You want to be together with him and have him close to you. Arthur will bring you some snacks, a cup of coffee and a glass of water. Yes, he will eat and drink and rest with you since you're just as worried about him as he is about you. And he will help you with your hair if you're too tired and frustrated to do it yourself. He doesn't want to see tears in those pretty eyes of yours. No scissors, only gentle touches and words of comfort. He knows how much your baby means to you. And as soon as all this is taken care of, you two can curl up together in bed, holding each other. You both need some rest. You need it.

Why would he be disappointed in you? Not when he sees you working so very hard, every single day. Not when he knows the reason for all your hard work. He is proud of you. So very proud. And Arthur wishes you wouldn't be so hard on yourself and that you could see yourself the way he sees you. You're doing your best. Even though there are moments when it feels like the whole world is weighing on you. And this is more than enough. It is okay to struggle, to feel feelings and to need help sometimes. It doesn't change anything about your worth. You are deserving of love, care and happiness. You are enough for yourself. You are enough for Arthur. You always are. No matter what. And he will tell you and show you and try to make you understand over and over again. He is by your side. On good days and bad. You both take care of yourself and keep each other safe. Because you love each other. You want Arthur for Arthur. And he wants Erika for Erika. You're always enough for him. Always and forever.

[sukunasweetheart]

how about like a lengthy soon to be (modern) dilf sukuna x mom to be reader, him being all overprotective and a pain in the ass but super sweet

this 🥺

Word count: 690

sukuna being a good hubby up ahead;

From the moment the two of you had received the news of having conceived a child, Sukuna had been acting painfully obvious with his anxiousness about it, even behind that stoic demeanor of his. It ranges from not letting you hold anything at all to simply not letting you out of his sight. And it keeps on getting more intense, with each passing month...

At the sound of your tired sigh, your husband is quick to find his way towards you, at the entrance.

"What's wrong?" he asks, already concerned with the way you have a frown on your face, trying to look past your stomach, at your shoes.

"Oh gosh! You heard that?" you ask him, laughing a little as you watch him approach you at a quick pace. Sukuna's always been quick-witted, but he seems to have developed an entire sixth sense ever since you got pregnant with his child. He immediately notices your untied shoelaces and crouches down at your feet.

"You need a new pair of shoes," he tells you with a grunt as he firmly ties up a double knot on each one. Sukuna stands back up and you smile at him.

"Thanks. I'll be back soon," you say, your hand already on the doorknob. He gently holds you back, stopping you from stepping outside in the last second.

Despite your numerous protests, he ends up accompanying you outside, making sure your hand was looped around his arm for support. 

"I changed my mind. I'm coming with you," he says, grabbing his coat from the hanger.

"Oh, come on. I'm just going for a walk! Didn't you say you had work to catch up on today? I'll only take twenty to thirty minutes max."

"Who knows what could happen during that time?" He slips his own shoes on with ease. "Work can come later."

And then the next day after work, he came home holding a brand new pair of shoes - ones that were tailored especially for pregnant women.

-

Him walking beside you during your daily walks had become the norm now, and you've long given up convincing Sukuna to just stay home. Once the two of you are back, he ushers you to the bathroom, cleans your feet, and then makes you lie down on the couch, much to your confusion.

“Your walking was a little more slow than usual today,” he tells you, sitting under your feet on the couch. As he was expecting, they were swollen and quite painful-looking. Not saying anything further, he begins to gently massage them, avoiding certain pressure points.

-

"Am I not a burden?" you ask him, out of pure curiosity.

"A burden?" He emphasises, almost angrily. "Where the hell did that nonsense come from? Of course not. You are carrying our child," he shakes his head at you. And when you burst into tears for the third time of the day, instead of rolling his eyes at you, he stays by your side - handing you tissues.

He has his hand pressed up against your stomach, eagerly waiting for a response. The way his eyes sparkle when theres a small kick he feels under his palm, it makes you happy in ways you cannot describe.

-

“A strong kick,” he comments, obviously proud.

“Probably got that from you,” you say to him, smiling from ear to ear.

Sukuna paces around slowly, waiting nervously. Though he does not believe in the otherworldly, nor is he a religious man, your screams of pain makes him pray internally.

Once the cries of the baby rings out from the delivery room, and he’s allowed to enter inside - the one he rushes to is not the baby, but rather, you.

Sukuna brushes the sweat away from your forehead with a hand and presses a soft kiss onto the same spot.

“You did well. You did so well,” he repeats almost breathlessly, unable to conjure up anything else to say as he holds your hand with more love and affection than ever. You feel a surge of emotions coursing through your entire body, but for now, you just give a tired smile and weakly squeeze his hand back.

☀️ Warrior Nun S2E8 🌙

AVA WRITING A FAREWELL LETTER TO BEA MY HEART- 😭😭

“sometimes the simple truth of being alive just…moves me” she has grown up So Much i'm so proud oh ava dearest 🥺

and superion :(( she doesn't really know but she Knows and she accepts what must happen much as it tears her apart

grumpy bea hahah i still don’t like that look on her

“you’re still a nun aren’t you? forgiveness is part of your job” -> ava sowing more seeds in bea's crisis of faith :")

michael to jillian: “i’ll see you again” um. ru sure sir

oh lemme take a moment to say i LOVE the brutalist concrete set design this season !!!!!!! *kisses for the crew again*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA michael cocking his eyebrow at the fbc guard when vincent calls them adriel's virgins 💀

yasmine <333333

"that is not in any way how that works" lmaoooo

no i don’t like the distrust between them :(((((((((((

the cross reflecting in avas eyes :((( oh no :(((

wait i can't help but to imagine yasmine might've had that one moment of doubt of what if ava turned on them

OK before we get to

That Scene

let it be known that this was actually such a beautiful moment, like much as the gifsets are gorgeous they do not do the magic of this scene any justice,, my heart is so full l;khsl;js;lhjssfd

alright, ✨AVATRICE✨

"Because things change when you realise not everything's about you" bea's words laid down right back at her feet ow my heart hurts

did my eyes start watering when the music started? obvs.

"They die so everyone else can live"

"I’m doing this so you can live your life. So live it, okay?"

"I won’t. I can’t." (what is my life without you?)

and you can see the infinite fondness in ava's eyes, you can see that she plans to kiss bea already when she steps forward

and she disarms her! (because of course bea had to make a last ditch effort to save ava from herself, and of course ava's grown enough to match her in combat)

and she kisses her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤️

and of course it’s oh so tender

[Hymn for Her] has me in a CHOKEHOLD

the way the camera spins and the chorus swells like a revelation, like they've finally found home in each other 💖

bea's hand reaches out first and of course it's the Patented Avatrice ✨Face Caress✨

THE FOREHEAD KISS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ava's teary smile, and bea returning it with a hint of a smile and a nod

"IN THE NEXT"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOJDGDJDKSKAHSH

this music im cryign again 😭😭

we all agree we aren't normal about this scene right?????

bea is shell shocked, and ava’s heartbroken, but they both dutifully carry on in that deathly silence (*kisses for the sound designer*)

“we have no choice.” “we have a million choices…we’re both living on second chances anyway” 😭😭😭😭😭😭

there’s that parallel between ava and michael again (i love the two of them),

and there’s that great inevitable tragedy of all our heroes carrying a sacrifice they don’t deserve to be burdened with

i’m waxing poetic this episode and nobody can stop me

but the plot chugs ever onward so-

“semantics, huh? That’s what we’re betting our lives on?” “we’re betting our lives on faith.” “huh, even worse.” SPITTING FACTS atheist agenda ftw

ADRIEL A-POSING HAHAHA he looks so fucking awkward standing with his legs apart like that ajhahdhdjaha

ooooh an uneven cross window this setpiece is fantastic

NO LILITH

MICHAEL HIS HEART?????????

and surely these are their final moments together

“Why are you always trying to save me?” (she loves you)

“Let me go”

“Be free” (remember this exchange from last time?)

“I love you” (you knew that)

“I love you” (you didn’t hear)

see you, ava

:”(

lilith, still “i really hope we end up on the same side”, and then she’s gone too

and there’s nothing left except for the music to ramp up, and the arc to power down, and her to sit at its base,

alone

and it finally hits her, she’s lost, it’s over

bea 🥺 darling

:((

…

but post credits????!!!

post-ocs!bea is Yet Another Vibe

ugh when i have the energy i’ll make another rant about the significance of her looks this season

in the next x

[djarrex]

OH I kinda have a thot of rex but not just rex but Mr. Gayiyla 👀 rex going to the local town to run some errands and he sees two little kids running around chasing each other like siblings and all he can think of "wouldn't priya would like to have a sibling" you know? So he goes back home and sees Mrs. Gayiyla folding some clothes, Rex walking up to her from behind and starts peppering her kisses behind her neck and hugging her, you know all in love and probably getting in the mood 👀 and she's like "oh whats up with all of this?" Rex rubbing light circles in her stomach and saying "it would be nice for priya to have a sibling, uh?"

Idk just a thought, was to shy to type this out and all I could think is the gayiyla family 🥺

it's uhhh kinda like you just foretold what I had planned 👀 and for anyone new, this ask has to do with my Post-Order 66 Rex series :')

As we know from the series, Rex wants kid(s!!) PLURAL children. Wanted to get the ball rolling as soon as Priya popped out tbh

*series comes off hiatus just for this ask* this is very soft very very soft

I'm just totally imagining him running those errands, stopping finally at the lil baby shop he frequents whenever he makes it into town. The shopkeeper knows Rex - knows all about his little one because he's just so proud to be a Papa and opens up to her when it comes to his baby girl. She's a harmless old lady who's been running that lil shop for longer than Rex has been alive - helped him when he stumbled in there to buy that baby blanket Priya ended up being wrapped in right after she came into the world. The old woman smiles when she sees him, using her wooden cane as she steps into the storage closet to select some of her hidden items that she knows Rex and his family would appreciate.

Maybe she knows Rex is a clone - whether she speaks that knowledge to him or not, she keeps it a secret. She's fond of Rex, and how he's out there making a life for himself and his family.

Anyways. As he's checking out, handing the woman the credits (she always throws one or two back at him even though he tries to respectfully decline the discount), a pair of children run by the storefront, kicking a ball around. Rex's expression lifts, noticeably so, and the woman chuckles.

"You are a family man," she says while wrapping the goods, and Rex offers her a kind smile. "A father of many children, I foresee it."

Those words play in his head as he heads back to his homestead.

Yeah, he's foreseen that, too.

When he walks into their house, Pri is napping in her little pen in the living room while his wife is folding the laundry that had just been plucked from the lines outside. Rex can't help but melt inside - setting down the goods from his trip into town before wrapping his arms around her front.

Mrs. Gayiyla giggles as Rex plants soft kisses all over her neck and shoulders, his chest pressed against her back. She drops the tunic mid-fold, and turns around in his arms.

"Hello, love. How was it?"

Rex smiles, leaning to press a warm kiss to her lips in response.

"You're in a good mood," she teases - running her fingers through the growing, blond curls above his ears. "What's up, Rex?"

Rex can't help the flicker in his gaze that lands first on their small daughter, sleeping soundly in her pen with her favorite tooka doll tucked in her tiny arms, then trailing downwards towards his wife's belly.

She raises a brow, and leans to kiss him again.

"It would be nice for Priya to finally have that sibling," Rex mumbles against her mouth. She pulls back - a grin stretching on her lips.

Rex has been hinting at it for a while - both explicitly and otherwise. She laughs - a soft, loving sound.

"I agree." Taking his hand, she guides Rex into their room. His heart races - blood rushing south. "Shall we get to it then?"

*returns to haitus*

[gardenerian]

I kindaaaaa want you to write it too.... Like really kinda. Like I want it for sure not just kinda. Please? 🥺 Imagine the Gallagher possibilities.

i couldn't help myself 🥺 presenting: lip's graduation 🥳

lip hadn't wanted a big thing. he's already had one graduation party, he told them, and he doesn't need a bunch of attention this time.

"save it for liam's turn," he said, "he's the one to watch."

ian knows it's something about the pressure lip puts on himself. like maybe if they don't make a big deal of it, it won't hurt so much if it doesn't work out.

but this, at least: it worked out.

an associate's degree in computer engineering as opposed to the doctorate they'd all expected for him, but a degree nonetheless. another gallagher diploma, rounding out the few in their ranks.

lip did it all online, balancing babies and odd jobs as he studied. he rarely let his fear slip, never expressed his doubts once he decided to go all in.

but ian knows it's there. he knows lip is still afraid that it was all a waste, that he'll let his family down - that it will be that much worse now that the stakes are so much higher.

ian knows that fear intimately. but he also knows his brother.

lip crosses the stage to accept his certificate, and as he rises to his feet, as he cups his hands around his mouth to cheer, ian knows lip will make this worth it.

because lip can do anything.

he rolls his eyes when mickey elbows him and tugs at his arm to sit back down - lip's not even on the stage anymore - but he can't stop smiling. he can't stop laughing.

lip doesn't need this degree to be a worthy partner or father. he doesn't have to prove anything to his family. he is worthy and valued exactly as he is, for everything he brings to their world.

but lip wanted this. and after everything, they want lip to have everything he wants.

the family meets him outside the auditorium after the ceremony. his smile is wide, grateful as he wraps tami and his kids in his arms. he reaches for them, hands running over tami's back, freddie's shoulder, the baby's head.

he did this for himself - but he lives for them.

fiona steps forward then, arms open. she laughs wetly as lip steps into them, as they hold each other tight. fiona whispers into lip's hair and ian watches his shoulders shake a bit as he grips her.

ian sneaks up behind them, pulling them close in a tangle of limbs. they laugh and open their arms up for him. the three of them, solid.

fiona steps back to chat with mickey, and ian turns in his brother's arms. reaches up, pats his cheek. lip rolls his eyes but tightens his hold on ian's shoulders.

"always knew we'd end up here with you," ian murmurs.

"fuck off," lip snorts, "you did not."

"okay, maybe not here, exactly. but i knew somethin' was coming for you."

lip nods. "yeah, maybe you did."

they don't say much else. lip knows ian is proud of him, lip knows ian loves him. lip knows that ian knows that this is the start of something big for him.

and if ian knows it - maybe it's true.

the rest of the gallaghers file in for hugs, handshakes, and fist bumps. mickey claps lip on the back, nods at him. "you did good, college."

"alright, alright," lip says, shoving mickey away. he takes off his cap and places it firmly on liam's head. "we done with this?"

tami ushers the family towards the parking lot, promising the kids a big piece of the cake if they sit down and buckle up.

"hey," lip murmurs, grabbing ian by the arm. "that's it, right? just a cake? i'm not about to walk into a party, am i?"

"there's definitely a cake," ian answers, and lip shoves him.

"fuckin' knew it, traitor. there can't ever be just a cake."

"nope," ian laughs. "there's gotta be music and balloons - oh, and a banner. probably some speeches, and multiple people have to cry. but i don't think anyone's gonna throw any punches this time."

"i wouldn't be so sure," lip mumbles under his breath. but ian sees him bite down on a smile.

lip is proud.

ian wants to bottle this feeling for him. he wants to guard it carefully and gift it to lip when he's feeling low. ian wants to grab his brother by the shoulders and shake him, thank him for this reminder of what it means to try. to do, even if you're fucking terrified.

but he'll just save it for his speech. lip already knows, anyways.

Here is Part. 2 for my favorite person on here <33 ✨️ i hope you like it! ✨️

Waking up beside Seokmin was the best feeling ever. But you couldn't sleep anymore, so you quietly got up and went to the Bathroom, so he can sleep a little bit more. Last night was beautiful, sleeping with each other for the first time and being together now. Thinking about it made you smile.

In the bathroom you turned on the shower, waiting for the water to heat up and being in deep thoughts. You suddenly felt a pair of warm hands hugging you from behind, pulling you closer. "You left me alone in bed to take a shower without me, that's not very nice of you." He said and nestled face on your neck, giving you light kisses."I wanted to let you sleep a little longer, you looked too cute." Seokmin smiled and turned you around, kissing you feverishly and tongues chasing each other.

His hands started roaming you body up and down, while your fingers were softly running through his hair. You both have been still naked anyway, so you stepped in the shower together. Exploring each others bodies, like horny teenagers. Seokmin surely loved kissing you, it made him feel dizzy and hungry for more.

You hands wander down his chest, to his cock, making him moan in your mouth. You started stroking him up and down, caressing the head of his cock, which is leaking by now. Your hands felt so good but he felt close already. "Please stop or i'm going to cum." You smiled at him, kissing his jawline, his neck. Seokmin suddenly went down on his knees, hooking your leg over his shoulder, kissing your tummy down to your pussy. His tongue finding your clit, licking down to your entrance. He kept you steady with his arms. You started to rock your hips on his tongue, letting out moans and whimpers.

"Fuck baby, your so good at this." Your words pushed his ego, now using his fingers perfectly finding where you needed him the most. Sucking on your clit, bringing you over the edge. He got up, turned you around, so you're facing the wall. Water splashing down on both of you, while he pushed his cock inside you from behind. He took his time, slowly rocking into you, kissing your neck. His hands wandering to your boobs, pinching your nipples lightly.

"I could do this all day, making love to you in the shower, everywhere in your Apartment. You feel so good around my cock baby." He moans in your ear, one finger finding your clit, rubbing circles. He picked up pace, making you both moan so loud, breathing heavy. "Baby i'm close, i'm so close." You told him. "Me too, baby. Me too. Come on my cock, be a good girl." And you did, hard. He came with you, rocking you both through your highs.

He pulled out and you turned around catching your breath. "Let's wash each other and get some breakfast, i'm hungry now." He laughed and gave you a chaste kiss on you lips.

While having breakfast, you talked about this and that. When he took your hand in his. "You should know, this was the hottest Sex ever and you're the sexiest and loveliest most beautiful girl. I mean it. I love you Y/N." At his words you got a little bit shy. "I could say the same, you're the sexiest, loveliest and most handsome guy. And i love you too, Seokmin."He smiled and felt really proud.

Having your best friend now as your boyfriend, couldn't be any better.

Better late than never! 😅

BMUBMD'S new chapter is far from boring🥺...for me it felt kind of a calm one but filled with many (sweet) details...

Thor asking Loki to take Charlotte (with y/n) to work...I still like the idea of double dates 😁💚💚❤️❤️ because it seems things between Charlotte and Thor become more serious.

'...you can do whatever you want with me dear god of mine...' yessss, sounds good😉❤️‍🔥🥵

The protective gesture with the spell for y/n came at the exactly right time and it became useful soon, thanks to our god, he suspected something would happen to y/n in the future. And he's still afraid he's going to hurt her again, too. 🥺

There's a little wind of change, y/n thinks more about the future and Loki follows her advice to live in the moment 🤔🥲. It's so sweet that his wallpaper of his phone is a photo of them together...and y/n praised him that he learned how to do it...proud baby😍

The angst when y/n couldn't connect with Loki 🥺😭..I hope there's no new conflict because Loki didn't tell her where he was...

Hot smut🌶 and frosty babies 😭😭💙💙 oh yes please, it's always on my mind now...and what a big step in healing and looking forward 😁🥰 accepting his heritage and considering to have a family with his favourite princess...that's adorable 💚😭💞. They would be a wonderful family and both deserve nothing less than happiness.

It warmed my heart when they spoke about that y/n never hated Loki and was always thankful to have him and what he gave to her and that he is the best man there could ever be 🥰💚

Loki really cares for his women. To put y/n into his vault and Frigga too, so they can meet each other in a safe place, that y/n is not alone and/or can get out of there when he maybe get hurt in the war (please don't let him die 🥺😭) is so thoughtful 🥰😍. I'm looking forward to the moment when both women get to know each other...I think he would put Thor into his vault too if there wasn't the need to fight together against that raisin ass...

A long comment again and as you can see I didn't find the chapter boring 😅💚

I think boring wasn't the right term. I Take it back 😂

I guess in future if everything is fine thor and loki might go on that double date but I just know loki will roll his eyes all the time 😂

He had been working on the spell since that incident, before that he thought he was capable of protecting her but now he knows that she is not safe anywhere. It was really thoughtful of him to include himself in there, he knew he'd never want to touch her with I'll intentions but in case someone gets him again atleast she would be safe. (I'm getting carried away, comments makes me so happy but you get it)

Him mentioning frost puppies without even realising that a part of him is accepting his heritage is a step forward in his healing, he's learning to let go of the shame he used to feel about his truth.

He knows Frigga can hold her own when it comes to fighting physically but he's still worried about her even though they have to talk about him resenting her still for all the lies, it was fifty percent him wanting to protect her that made him send her to the void and fifty percent was so y/n could get out of his vault with the help of Frigga since she's the only who knows how to do that apart from him.

I'm so glad you didn't find it boring 😍💚

Edit : The only reason loki didn't want her to worry about the future was because he doesn't want her to feel upset or get sad about it. That's not her burden to bear 😭 he'll be there for her until the end of the line and he wants her to live a happy life now.

Ow I'm so sorry you're having a rough time rn! It will get better, I promise you ❤️

let's forget about angsty ideas - and focus on something fluffy instead! You talking about nico and max Being so close and the pregnancy got me like 🥺

So, Nico and Max playing with both their pups together would be so cute! Just them sitting in one of their living rooms, toys spread all around and watching their pups with the most giddy smiles on their faces, and Kevin and Dan are there too of course. It's just warm and sunny Sunday afternoon and they're all a family, a pack <3

OOOOR (bc I live for maxiel as parents) their pup walking for the first time!! max and dan are just lounging in the bedroom, keeping a close eye on their baby that's crawling around like a champ all the time, and suddenly their pup just somehow pulls itself up and takes a few, admittedly, very wobbly steps before it falls again. And max just tugs on Daniel's arms around his waist and just goes look look! before getting up. I'm way too soft for them man 🥺

Thank you ❤

And I absolutely love all this 🥺

I have a little headcanon that maybe Nico is six/seven months pregnant when Max finds out he's two months along so their kids are close in age and they have play dates and spend a lot of time together.

Just imagining them both in a play room in Nico or Maxs, watch as their kids babble at each other as they play on their tummys while Max and Nico are watching together and cooing.

I can see them doing joint holidays. Nico and Dan chasing the kids across the sand as Max and Kevin make food or set up a spot for them and just all cuddling in one of Nico and Maxs amazing nests at the end of the night!

Maxiel as parents would be so soft and sweet. Max totally cries when his baby says their first words and takes their first steps and Dan would be so proud and a little teary too
