[dreamwritesimagines]

Laura and Logan having a complicated relationship is the realest thing ever if we remove the factor of Logan dying in her arms to save her like two days after meeting her.

They were both imposed on each other. They respect each other. They can't stand one another. Logan is constantly having to battle between wanting to protect her because she is a child that is so similar to him vs having to come to terms with her existence. Laura has to live with the fact that he doesn't really want her and that she'll never be normal and he is all she has to look forward to. They're both so similar that violence is second nature to them so their fights are always just on the edge of getting physical. (Laura gets better about always throwing the first punch but like... it's tempting)

And if we add Theo into the mix its all so much more complicated because biology doesn't tell Logan he HAS to love Theo... Logan just loves him because he is Theo.

So some part of her, a part Sunshine hates and is meticulously planning to destroy, feels like she's what's stopping her family's happily ever after just by existing. And she's eleven years old.

He tolerates her because he has to, in her head; and she can't even feel jealous because she loves Theo (i think he was older when Laura was found, so he was maybe 15) he takes care of her in the Mansion, never gets angry at her, he defends her from anyone that tries to be mean to her and he has never been afraid of her. I think Theo sees her as a kitten that hisses at you but will still follow you around.

But I do think she and Logan will come to love each other.

I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS I LOVE THIS😍

Oh yeah we're definitely removing that factor, this is an "everyone lives" universe 😂❤️

Logan is constantly having to battle between wanting to protect her because she is a child that is so similar to him vs having to come to terms with her existence. Laura has to live with the fact that he doesn't really want her and that she'll never be normal and he is all she has to look forward to. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD TAKE, AAAAAA-

Their dynamic will be so difficult at first! 😱 Like, they won't know how to be nice to each other 😱

And if we add Theo into the mix its all so much more complicated because biology doesn't tell Logan he HAS to love Theo... Logan just loves him because he is Theo. I LOVE THIS LITERARY ANALYSIS, IT'S AMAZING😍

I completely agree, and I feel like...to make things more angsty😏 part of the reason why Logan was so open to love Theo and become his father figure is because Theo is Sunshine's son. Like, to Logan, Sunshine symbolizes everything good in the world, and Theo being a part of her makes it much easier for him to love Theo ❤️

It is related to why things are very difficult with Laura first because in Logan's perspective, Laura isn't a part of Sunshine, but she is a part of Logan🥺 This will even be more like, clear when Logan and Sunshine have a daughter who does have Logan's powers -even if Laura and Logan are in much better terms by then- because he will have zero issues with her powers or the fact that they're "alike" because again, she is not only Logan's daughter, but she's also Sunshine's daughter ❤️ Laura didn't have that "advantage" so to speak, and she was imposed on Logan like you said, that's why things were so difficult between them at first ❤️

So some part of her, a part Sunshine hates and is meticulously planning to destroy, feels like she's what's stopping her family's happily ever after just by existing. And she's eleven years old. LAURA COME HERE SWEETHEART I WILL HUG YOU🥺

I think Sunshine made so so much effort to make Laura understand that she is a part of their family now❤️ And Theo helped a lot ❤️

I think Theo sees her as a kitten that hisses at you but will still follow you around. Exactlyyyy, and that's his younger sister, like he started seeing her as his sister the minute Sunshine started seeing her as her daughter, so he will be such an older brother to her 🥰❤️

Logan and her will definitely come to love each other! ❤️

Thank you so much, I love this! ❤️

Thoughts about your AU where Matoro is stuck in the Ignika. (And probably Mata Nui, too.)

- Mata Nui didn't want to retreat entirely. But he'd just recently recovered from a coma, a seizure, brain damage, and damage to his heart and more of his insides. Then he socialized with people in the first time ever, worried about his people, was diminished, then fought Makuta who was in the Great Spirit Robot.

He needed another nap after all that.

- The exertion also weakened Matoro and Ignika. Ignika still has their defenses up - no touching or coming closer without their consent - but both of them were barely aware of their surroundings for a while.

- Matoro hears voices he knows talking to him. He wishes he could answer them - they often sound so sad - but he's so tired... (And to talk with him they have to don the Ignika. Which is still very dangerous for most people even with Ignika's consent.)

- However, Matoro can write with ice energy. (And do pranks. It's sometimes very boring being stuck in one place.)

- As for who can don the Ignika safely:

The Toa Mahri

Kiina and Ackar and Berix

Wairuha or Akamai (because of their connection to Mata Nui)

Vakama because he created the Mask of Time and wore it

- Ignika is lowkey scared of Vakama. They sense time-fuckery around him.

- People do rotations on a voluntary base where they read to the Ignika or tell stories. It started with Kiina who wanted to share her adventures and new experiences and hoped Mata Nui would hear her. It grew from there as a way to honor Matoro and Mata Nui and Ignika and others who died to protect the GSR inhabitants and Spherus Magna inhabitants.

Then it turns around they're still there, that they can hear them, and that they're bored.

- Mata Nui, listening and observing, has a lot of time for self-reflection. He wonders who he is: He doesn't want to be a god. Being a god didn't help him against Makuta. He couldn't help his people because he was unaware that everybody had become self-aware.

It's also amazing how big this new world is. Not in size, but in the amount and variety of lived experiences.

AAAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS SOMEHOW I'M SORRY

Honestly I love all of this!! "Mata Nui is tired of being god" is one of my favourite takes on the character tbh so having him just like. completely fine with just having a nap for an undetermined amount of time in the Ignika is great lmao. He has dealt with so many medical problems in the last 1000 years he needs a nap. A real one this time, not a forcibly induced coma.

I think that Nuju would also be able to wear the Ignika, if only because 95% of the time when someone gets to wear it it's because either Matoro or Mata Nui is calming Ignika down and trusts that person completely. I also think, however, that Nuju would abjectly refuse to put it on. Absolutely not. That thing killed his closest companion. (He does go talk to it in Bird sometimes, though. If nobody else is around to see him. He has his pride. The other Turaga all 100% know though)

People Matoro Has Pranked:

All of the Mahri at least twice each

Takanuva

Berix

Kopeke (only once and he felt really bad about it after)

Nuparu also constantly comes by with various ideas for contraptions to allow Matoro (and Mata Nui by extension) to be able to communicate better. None of them work but they appreciate the effort

If Matoro thought being attached to Mata Nui was weird, actively sharing headspace with him is even weirder somehow. Mata Nui is nothing if not a considerate roommate(?) and Generally A Pretty Swell Guy. They wind up becoming pretty close friends once Matoro is finally able to get over the whole Great Spirit thing.

Love all of your guys fics and AUs!!! You always come up with the most creative ideas, 5 6 7 8 for hellhound Bojan and Angel Jere fic if that’s okay? ❤️❤️

(these are ship asks from way back, just getting to them now bc im one forgetful fucker LMFAO)

aaaaaa thank you so much !! it means a lot to us that u enjoy our fics 🥺🥺🥺

5. Who does what chores?

Aside from helping watch over the store, I don’t think Bojan does any of the chores in their apartment. Jere technically "does" all of them, but he essentially just miracles the place clean even if he's telling Bojan about the wonders of not using magic to fix everything LMFAO His reasoning is a mix of "It's not affecting anyone negatively anyways so it's fine" + a lil bit of "Do as I say not as I do."

Maybe Jere would miss the act of doing chores and would spend a day or two cleaning the bodega and the flat without any miracles, and of course Bojan would be more than happy to help, even if he ends up just watching for the most part ALSDFASDF

6. Do they go out often or prefer to stay indoors?

Considering how both of them already go out a lot despite their current circumstances (Bojan technically in hiding and Jere having to watch over the bodega), once they're actually together and if/when the whole hellhound search blows over, they would be going out all the time. Jere touring Bojan around New York, showing him all his favorite spots that he hasn't been to in a while, introducing him to the rest of the K crew, maybe even have the picnic in Central Park that Bojan thinks of having in one of the chapters.

Of course they'd still enjoy having a quiet moment at home. Especially when they eventually exhaust all the fun places.

7. Who is the more romantic one?

At first glance it would be Jere, being an angel and all. But Bojan is as loyal as a dog (literally!) and once he breaks out of his shell and his preconceived notions abt what a demon/hellhound should be, oh boy, he'd be just as insufferable. We already see it with his gift-giving tendencies and his protective instinct when it comes to Jere.

8. Do they have any favorite activities to do together?

Doing bodega chores (Bojan eventually learns how stuff works all by himself 😭), listening to music together (especially the Beatles records Bojan got for Jere), attending any of Kitty's events... but really any activity is their favorite if it means spending time with each other <3

[fontasticcrablettes]

Flystelle and Judelle for Ship, and hrm. Let's do Alexei for the Character. ...or Judith. Or both.

I'll do both! and put it under a cut because it got long.

Flystelle!

when I started shipping it if I did: I started shipping them about a year after I got involved in the Vesperia fandom, so about 9 years ago.

my thoughts: HHHHH my otp for the game. I love them. But I'm also kind of glad they aren't canon because I don't trust Bamco to write them well.

What makes me happy about them: There 2-3 years pre-game when Flynn and Estelle were each other's only friend and I think about it constantly. (Well, Yuri was still Flynn's friend, but after Yuri left the Knights they weren't really lose for those years). Flynn was the first person to show Estelle friendship, and I aaaaaa.

What makes me sad about them: Probably just that they're a rarepair so there's like, next to no content. In canon, thinking about Flynn's role in Alexei's coup and thus his guilt over what happened to Estelle because of him is SO SAD.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: Well, there isn't really much fanfic in the first place, but of the fanfic that exists, I with there was more that dug into the deeper aspects of them. Like, I don't think the way they are in canon is the set-up for a healthy long-term relationship. They've both got some idealized images of the other to work through (of seeing the other as a perfect knight/delicate princess). And the way they work through those unrealistic views in order to love the authentic person is a whole process that a lot of fanfic skips over.

things I look for in fanfic: I'm always looking for any sort of Flystelle fic that has some meat. Like, I can enjoy a quick shot of fluff, but like I said before, I love a fic that digs in deeper. And I am always here for hurt/comfort, but I especially like it when Flynn is the one who's hurt and Estelle supports him. Partly because Flynn is my go-to whump magnet, and partly because it's an inversion of the "expected" dynamic of a knight and a princess. I want to see the knight in peril and the princess rescue him!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: My second choice for Estelle is Judith, and my second choice for Flynn is Yuri.

My happily ever after for them: They live together in Zaphias. Estelle is a novelist who works from home and occasionally stays with Rita in Halure for extended periods, usually whenever Flynn is going to be out of town on Knight business for a while. They have a family and work together with Ioder to bring reforms to the Empire. Estelle's biggest job is making sure Flynn doesn't overwork himself.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Estelle is big spoon when she drags Flynn away from work and pulls him into bed and holds him tight so he can't sneak out to write one more report. Flynn defaults to big spoon in other cases by virtue of being significantly taller so it's just easier.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Just sitting around talking. Discussing the books they've read and places they've been and ideas for the empire. They just enjoy each other's company.

Now Judelle!

when I started shipping it if I did: I think it was around 5 years ago. One day I was watching the scene where Yuri talks to Judith in Zaphias castle after the Sword Stair, and the way Judith talks about Estelle suddenly clicked and I said "oh no I ship it now."

my thoughts: Estelle is the anchor that pulled Judith out of drifting aimlessly with Ba'ul. Judith has such a subdued way of speaking, but when she talks about Estelle, she sounds fiercely protective.

What makes me happy about them: I love both of them opening up each other's worlds. Judith represents the freedom Estelle was denied all her life, while Estelle is the stability Judith hasn't had in a long time. I just think they're cute

What makes me sad about them: They're even more of a rarepair so it's almost impossible to find content. I'm pretty sure they only have 1 fic on ao3 and that was written by me.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: Well... there is no fanfic.

things I look for in fanfic: I just want them to be happy and giggly and have fun together. I think they would both make each other better people, with Judith encouraging Estelle to focus and Estelle encouraging Judith to take part in the world and open herself to others.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Estelle with Flynn, and Judy with Yuri. Those are my two top ships for Vesperia, so Judelle is more of the "if not those other two, this one" option.

My happily ever after for them: They don't live together, because Judith wouldn't want to be grounded all the time, while Estelle does want to settle. They get together whenever they can. Judith writes her letters while sitting on Ba'ul's back, and Estelle always gets excited when she sees that speck in the distance of Ba'ul flying toward Zaphias.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Estelle tries really hard to be big spoon, but Judith tackled her into a bear hug.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Heading out into the world and exploring.

Alright, on to characters.

Alexei:

How I feel about this character: He's an amazing character. He's a poorly utilized character. He's so complex. He's a one-note villain. I think I see a lot more in him that a lot of people do, and all my interpretations are drawing directly from things he says and does in game, but also at some point reading between the lines becomes doing the writers' jobs for them. I don't know. I really like him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don't really ship him romantically with anyone, but I'm a fan of fucked-up and unhealthy one-sided Yuri/Alexei, and also fucked-up and unhealthy Flynn/Alexei where Alexei is using Flynn's crush on him to manipulate him. Both of these are sorta ships but mostly the premise for drama and angst fics. Oh also his unnamed OC ex-wife who dumped him and triggered a midlife crisis.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: I'm also interested in Flynn and Alexei's relationship in a non-romantic context, but also I like the idea of Duke and Alexei being estranged friends. I like to imagine they were close friends who joined the Knights together, making them an even closer parallel for Yuri and Flynn

My unpopular opinion about this character: I think he has clear motivation for his actions in canon. I know a lot of people say he's just vaguely evil for world domination, but without even looking at content from side materials, he's pretty direct in canon about wanting to reform the Empire in a similar way that Flynn does. He has all the same ideals that Flynn does, but was disillusioned after the war that he could achieve those goals without going to extremes.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Not die at Zaude!!!! I've said this a thousand times but he should have been the final villain. He's got all this personal drama with the heroes and then he just dies and we go into act 3 with no one to fight against. And he was just getting really interesting when he realizes he fucked up with Zaude but he died before getting a chance to explore that realization.

my OTP: I mean.... nothing romantic really. Either of the aforementioned Yuri or Flynn angst relationships are good.

my cross over ship: Hm.... I am wracking my brain and cannot think of any.

a headcanon fact: I think a lot of his more grandiose villainy is an intentional act - he failed to save the world as a hero, so he's going to do it as a villain. He'll play the role of villain if that's what the world needs of him, and I think framing it that way in his mind helps him distance himself from what he's doing

And finally, dear Judy

How I feel about this character: She's super cool! I find her hard to write and it's hard to find fics that I feel really nail her. She's so... slippery. Both blunt and subtle. I love the way she slowly opens up to the others over the course of the game.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Yuri, Estelle, and Flynn are the main ones. I can enjoy Judith/Rita content sometimes too.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: All of the above romantic ships are also good friendships. I love the way Yuri and Judy vibe together, whether they're romantic partners or not. And also her relationship with Ba'ul!

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't know if this is widespread enough to be an unpopular opinion, but I don't believe she and Rita are sisters.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish she and Yuri had continued the flirty banter they had in Ghasfarost, and I wish she and Yuri had a more in-depth talk about what she did after Nordopolica and his feelings about punishing her for that, both for Yuri's development and her own.

my OTP: Yuri/Judy

my cross over ship: Judy/Izumi Curtis from FMA would be amazing

a headcanon fact: She doesn't "talk" to Ba'ul with words and full sentences, it's more like a telepathic exchange of emotions and images and moods. She's spent so long primarily communicating with him in this way that she's sort of forgotten how to talk to people with spoken language, which is why she can seem a little weird sometimes.

BLURSDAY BLURSDAY BLURSDAY

Gib. Grabby hands. Give me Rosemarus and Moxatus PEAS

AAAAAA YES MY BOYS my boys who were. supposed to be a one-off but here we are,

so we have rosmarus "ros" trikheion and moxatus "mox" pallantos, and it's a good thing you asked for them both because you rarely see one without the other. they're polar fishers with the tiirti mariners' union in the acalin branch, and are both in the coast guard reserves and spend occasional stints on the icebreakers docked at acalin accordingly. they've been near inseparable since they were bunkmates in basic training, though it took a few decades (and a nasty breakup with a shitty ex) for them to realize they had romantic feelings for each other.

both of them are big, burly boys, utter tanks of polar turians, and sometimes get mistaken for brothers. they both have brown plates, but ros is a bit shorter than mox and a lighter shade of brown, whereas mox is slightly taller and much darker. ros is also missing one of the horns from his crest, which snapped off in a fight with an omi that was trying to steal the day's catch - he had the last laugh, though, because he in turn snapped off one of the omi's tusks and took it as a trophy that he ended up whittling into a replacement for his missing horn.

ros is the quieter of the two, self-conscious and more interested in just being left alone. mox, on the other hand, is loud and aggressive, and very protective of his best friend. they pick on each other and have fun pushing each other off the ship sometimes, but nobody else is allowed to bully one of them without retaliation from the other. when ros ended up in an emotionally neglectful and toxic relationship, his opinion of himself only grew worse, readily believing everything his then-boyfriend said about him, and mox was furious, but couldn't bring himself to upset ros by speaking his mind. when said boyfriend became an ex, though, mox was ready with the comfort food and guys' night to cheer him up, because the union looks out for its own.

ros and mox are actually from opposite ends of the island. ros grew up in the shipbuilding hub of vraanun, while mox comes from the solitary patch of taiga on the southernmost point of tiirtias (i swear i named the city there i just forgot). they were both sent to the same base for basic training at hearthstone lake, and when they were finished they both happened to be stationed with the coast guard in acalin. with such a heavy union presence, it was only natural they fell in with the mariners there, and their size, strength, and rough-and-tumble attitudes drew the attention of local vzgliy calvetana sparatus. as soon as they finished mandatory, cal snatched them up for her crew - and for her enforcers. excited to have caught the eye of such a major face in the city, the pair eagerly accepted, and the union found them housing in the city, because the union looks out for its own.

the boys were still new the first time calvetana called on them to pay their dues. they didn't know her grandson well at the time, just a nervous half-a-face that shrouded himself in calvetana's shadow and was becoming a powerhouse in court, but the man who'd brutally scarred ierian had come a-calling, and made the mistake of walking into her tavern.

that night cemented ros and mox's places in the union, and their ride-or-die status with each other, and they've been loyal to calvetana ever since. in turn, she trusts them as members of her inner circle, and even after she retired the boys found seats at her table. invidas's teeth weren't the last sapient teeth to be strung onto their trophy strings, but they have the most sentimental attachment.

after all, the union looks out for its own.

HI MIAM YOURE PROBABLY BUSY BUT I NEEDED TO RAMBLE ABT MY HD! RANPO AU AND DMS DONT WORK ATM SORRY!! Anyway, I've been thinking of some ideas that I have yet to actually decide on, and I thought, since you're THE hunting dogs blog + I tagged in the first chapter of the fic, why not talk about it with you??

(you're free to ignore this Ik I'm annoying, please tell me if I'm ever distracting/annoying you from smth, I can't really tell myself hihi)

ONTO THE IDEAS!!

First off is, I was thinking of finishing the first bach of chapters (10 or so) before publishing it to AO3, since it's common for me to loose motivation after about a month.

TERUKO & RANPO BEST FRIENDS ----- I've already talked to you about it once but, THE POTENTIALL AAAAAH CHILDISH MENACES!! Their nonexistent dynamic is so important to me<3

RANPO AND JOUNO BEING BIG BROTHERS TO TACHIHARA!! Honestly, Ranpo would be more of a "fun irresponsible" older brother, but he still cares about the boy a lot (*cough* arm scar from protecting Tachihara *cough*) and Jouno pulls them out of trouble:)

RANCCHOU HALF-SIBLINGS??? It's a little thought I had this afternoon, I mean, I always confused them when I was watching the trailer even though I knew that was Tecchou: very surprised at first, but become EVEN MORE besties after they find out; Ranpo not being scared on missions alone in the ADA because he knows Tecchou is somewhere in the shadows ready to strike, Ranpo constantly helping him with strategic situations??? They weekly prank the Hunting Dogs with the "who is who" game, methinks.

RANPO AND JOUNO HAVING A FRIENDLY RIVARLY??? It started when they met, now it's as mich of daily occurence as Suegiku bickering, because they're both cocky and very smart: they keep trying to out-do each other but it's more of a "smart kids who will be there for each other when needed" kinda way; maybe Jouno brings him lunch if he's working full-time at the ADA one day???

RANPO AND FUKUCHI RANPO AND FUKUCHI PLEASE!!! It's so sad how I already have Fukuchi's downfall planned out and Ranpo is going to come out of it more scarred than ever: spoilers aside, their relationship is really sweet, to the point that Ranpo's 2nd nickname is "The Captain's Lapdog", and has the same reaction to praise from him as he does with Fukuzawa back at the ADA.

yeah so this might be a lot sorry mey I'm just excited to speak with you about this:)

ANXNANAAAAA YES THESE ARE SO COOL!!!

And you’re not bothering me, don’t worry!!!

AAAAAAAA I love the idea of Ranpo and the Hunting Dogs!!!

Him being Tachi’s big brother figure is so cute!!!

TECCHOU AND RANPO HALF SIBLINGS!!! Idk if anyone would be confused about who’s who because Tecchou’s like a whole head taller than Ranpo, but I still LOVE the idea

ALSO RANPO AND TERUKO BESTIES HECK YEAH!! They would be a nightmare, I love it so much

And a rivalry between Jouno and Ranpo would be so cool!! They’d have interrogation battles at least once a week, they end up cracking the poor criminal in less than two minutes, poor sucker’s terrified

FINALLY RANPO AND FUKUCHI!!! Aaaaaa Fukuchi’s betrayal is gonna CRUSH him, oh my god

Honestly, talk to me about this AU as much as you want, the more you talk about it the more I love it

[zhongrin]

Istfg I am crushing on this man for over 2 years now - and in the bigger part of this time he was a npc with 5 seconds screentime every year; you can see I am quite devoted to him (and patient omfg) 🏃💨

Good good, so the both of ya have sum "private time" huh? 😏💞

AND HELP Zhongli would absolutely adore you for it aaaaaa;; omfg you're so sweet idbdsosbsj I ship Zhongrin more and more <33 and yes pretty sure it's golden, yes. Definitely. ❤️

HELP CIDBSJWKWBEJJE idk why but I am losing over it.. a whole City knowing about us odmfbsjheebjw hELP

Wait what?? That's so cool omfg!! The nicknames fitting even more now?? Dkdhskjwwb you're so smart frfr Rin 😌❤️

NOT THE HORSE GIRL PHASE OMFG KDSHSIIEHEHSNNSB I am losing it didbsbs *sitting besides Kaveh and eating popcorn too while watching, also filming <3*

JFODHSJS NOT THE PUPPY 🏃💨 but ya know how I meant it Rin ahsidhhwkska

Yes we have Changsheng - other than her, no heh <3 (I would say I am Baizhus pet but I think this would go too far ofmg help)

Do you have any pets with your hubby's? <33

ZHONGLI WOULD IKR?? And you loving it makes it 92239291 more times better!! OMG THE ARM LINKING?? HOW CUTE?? EJIEHWJAJ, dying cuz this ship is too cute omfg

LMAO we love spoiling our hubby's <33 omg your menace 😭

Theyre both so cute, I ship them both with my whole heart Rin <33❤️❤️💞💞

I see I see, makes sense - but so I understand better, what would be an example for the sussy happening?

And lmao yes they're totally protective over their wifey <33 I once heard that Dragons are known for protecting their treasures at all costs ❤️ (you know who I mean with "Dragon" and "treasure" right? <3)

Wait but I don't understand why it depends on the season too, care to elaborate? 💞

And help Zhongli surely got a way with words and I also agree on Alhaitham, both would totally do that ofmg

Actually I needed to brainrot with my bestie bout this and we came to the conclusion that; Baizhu easily gets jealous - he doesn't have much time left and he knows he shouldn't spend this time with being jealous. But he sees other people coming a bit too near to me as threat, he wants to spend the rest of his time with me after all <//3 ofc when I noticed him the first time being jealous, we talked about it and I understand it and all and Baizhu said he will try his best to not to get jealous over everything - and since then I try my best to not to make him jealous but yeah;; if it happens nonetheless, we talk it out and / or I shower him with love (for example kissing his face all over while I tell him how much I love him and stuff). The situations he gets jealous the most are definitely seeing other guys / girls / pals (He knows I am pan) hitting on me, flirting with me or even touching me quite in a seductive manner. Sadly I am quite oblivious heh. So it often ends with Baizhu subtle showing his position as my husband (by laying an arm around my waist, kissing my cheek, etc.), or maybe getting me away from the scene (but also subtle). And then us showering each other with love at home <33

(help I always got a big smile on my face while reading them <33)

I KNOW LIKE THAT'S DEFINITELY SOME DEDICATION??? falling for npc or future playable characters is such a curse i am glad i've moved on from it *glances at pantalone*

cough cough yes some... private.... intimate... times.... ahem ahem

sobbbb merman zhongli my beloved... <3

the liyue national couple #baivi hehehehe

uehguejlfajskdjglads thank you that's such a nice thing to say waugh <3

we could be a silly couple if we want to- i'd like to think al haitham's repurtation increased around sumeru city when they see the stoic scribe with his normally biting harsh words just. engaging in silly banters with his s/o right in the middle of the grand bazaar hahahah WHY ARE YOU FILMING /nm /lh

you're definitely baizhu's beloved pet i mean what ohohohoho? what kind of animal does baizhu liken you to? like yk those animal-themed nicknames? does he has any for you? ;))

zhongli and i are considering to adopt a doggo (i grow up with dogs and i love love love love love them to death esp. the big ones)!! a lil doggo to just. run around the teashop sounds so cute ;w;

with al haitham, well..... do plants count as pets? because if so he has. a lot. and he doesn't let me touch them because he knows i've killed a succulent before lmao

i have my chaotic moments you see.... zhongli and al haitham are used to it thankfully hsdlfkjsldkf

and i'm crying hsldfjklsdf thank you????? ppl shipping me with zhongli and/or al haitham always makes me 🫠 /pos

like if someone visibly starts to get touchy or angry, or if they think the other party is crossing my boundaries! they're both pretty observant so they can 100% tell when i get uncomfortable.... also i don't do well with confrontations so they try to avoid that or at least shield me from it hsldfjsldkf

halkdjalhsflajd zhongli and his baser dragon instinct will always be my weakness sobsob and by seasons i mean uh- ahem- animals have ruts and i hc li's dragon self is a lot more sensitive & aggresive during that time ;))

awhhhh that is kind of heartwarming actually??? and tragic too ;w; you're the best thing that's every happened to him tho, so i can totally see why he wouldn't want anyone to snatch you away!! it's good that you're both being so communicative, it's indeed important to communicate properly if you wanna have a successful relationship!! <3

question, who is the more dominant / takes the lead more in the relationship? and which one of you is more affectionate? ;D

(NO BC ME TOO i have this silly wide grin on my face ehflajslaisdj)

[onlyswan]

oh ivi my beloved you could never ever be annoying to me 🥹💕 seeing you and your cute emojis in my notifs never fails to fill my heart with giddiness!!!! and it’s so much fun looking through which lines stood out for you the most because most of the time it’s the same for me hehe :P

So so thoughtful of him omg. Spur of the moment, impulsive actions can still be sincere, but the fact that he's thinking about it so much and considering all of these things... it's seriously so sweet of him.

RIGHT OH MY GOD he does as he wants but he actually has so many thoughts like this in his head… oh my baby 🥲 i must protect

They take care of each other so well, and it seems like that has been almost like an instinct for them from the beginning, with OC sharing their food with Jungkook when he said he was hungry the first time they met and now this, it's beautiful seeing the way these things persist and grow as their relationship blossoms as well 🥺🥺🥺

i’m gonna cry omg. they’re just both the loveliest people ever 😭 and it makes me so happy we all get to witness their stories unfold together!! :(

I also pouted just like Jungkook when I read this, because if OC doesn't deserve to be taken care of, then who does?

<shakes oc aggressively> OC ARE YOU HEARING THIS

And I loved the Jimin cameo too, I really like the way the boys have been popping up here and there in the stories recently, they're very sweet and I love the way you portray their dynamics 🥺

hhh thank you thank you i keep being nervous about this so it means a lot to me 🥹🥹🥹 i’m excited to do it more in the future as well hehehe

I really like their cute nervous energy and tension here, they're both my babies and I love them dearly 🥺💕

i really want to do more drabbles of their early days!! so i’m relieved you enjoyed it AAAAAA thank you for reading again this time and taking the time to share your thoughts with me <333 i love you dearly 💘

summary: in which you always get what you want and jungkook is dying to kiss you.

> idol!jungkook x f!reader / fluff!! a pinch of angst / word count: 5.5k

> content/warnings: jimin cameo!!, a photobooth, oc gets a little hot & bothered bcs jk is a menace lol (they both are <3), touches a biiit on toxic relationships but this is pure fluff and yearning :p (the ex oc mentions is the same as the one mentioned in the first meeting drabble)

> songs: bad - wave to earth / just like magic - ariana grande

> in which masterlist!

“you really came!”

you run towards jungkook with a wide smile that reaches your eyes. the bag hanging on your shoulder swings and strikes your hip due to your excitement, but you could care less about the clinking of coins when there’s a bright star leaning on a lamp post, smiling back at you.

you stand before him as he straightens himself up, puffs of a fleeting cloud appearing as you pant lightly. “dummy, it’s so late. i told you to go to bed. aren’t you tired?”

“exactly, it’s so late.” he emphasizes your words to scold you, concern dripping from the tone of his soft voice. “of course i had to come.”

he tips his head to the side, sparkling eyes drinking you in as if he didn’t just see you the other night.

“you’re so adorable today.”

“thanks. is it because of this?” you happily scrunch your nose at the compliment, tugging at the strings of the brown knitted ear warmers wrapped around your head.

it is near midnight. drowning in the warmth of his bed to flee the freezing season, jungkook should be comfortably resting at home. however, he just had to look for your name in his contact list despite being absolutely knackered… and somehow he ended up here, because if he has been trading his sleep for work all these years, then he can also trade it any day to spend his midnights with you.

an endeared grin spreads on his face, rosy cheeks numb from the cold. “hm, teddy bear.”

a gust of silence passes by as your inquiring eyes survey the white plastic bag hanging from his hand, the company logo stamped in the middle of it familiar since childhood.

“what’s that? are you sick?”

“me?” he points at himself in confusion, shaking his head. “i’m not, though?”

“then why do you have-”

“ahhh- ah!” his face lights up as he is reminded of the other reason he came to you. he slaps his forehead with a chuckle. “i almost forgot.”

jungkook, although still a little shy around you, tries his best to initiate eye-contact when either one of you speaks to avoid giving off the impression that his mind is someplace else when you’re together. however, the mission becomes difficult when you meet his gaze wide-eyed, and he is… breathless.

“you haven’t been feeling well so… uhm, i got you vitamins and more medicine, just incase. here.”

your heart feels like it’s been wrapped in a cozy blanket meant to thaw the winter that has overstayed its welcome, spreading warmth and giddy sparks all the way to the tips of your fingers. you’re relieved that you wore gloves today; he didn’t get electrified when you took the thoughtful gift from his cold hand.

“really? even vitamins?”

the original plan was only to take a peek, but a word written in bold and colorful letters prompts you to bring out the cough medicine for a better look.

oh, jungkook.

you quickly slide it back inside the bag, a laugh accidentally slipping from your mouth. you press your lips into a thin line to suppress the rest of them bubbling in your chest.

“yah, why are you suddenly laughing? did i buy the wrong one?” he questions, nervous about his suspicions being correct.

he follows up with a matter-of-fact tone.

“you said you only like syrup when you have a cough, because it’s soothing.”

“it’s so sweet that you remembered that but…” you giggle, eyes watering as your body quakes with the intensity of it. the image of the packaging flashes in your mind, and you sniffle. “this is for babies.”

“but syrup is really for kids? are they not?”

his doe eyes are shining not with condescension but genuine innocence, and it makes this a whole lot funnier for you.

“yeah, i mean…” you pause as a puzzling realization washes over you.

oh my god, does this mean that this entire time… he’s been thinking that you gulp down bottles of cherry-flavored cough syrup for two-year-old’s? and he didn’t question that? at all?

“i guess you’re right. but they also have one for adults. i was drinking that.”

“huh, that’s what they gave me. and i just assumed-” he gestures at the medicine you’re grasping in your hands before he freezes.

with the clear view of it, he finally discerns how silly of a mistake he has made.

“i must be out of my mind today!”

he breaks out into a fit of laughter, putting a hand over his aching belly.

it’s a sound that has been evoking an inexplicable joy in you since the first time you heard it; a sound that you often miss lately. you still need to remind yourself not to stare at him for too long, scared that he’d be able to read these thoughts from a simple look at your face.

“still, it’s pink. and i bet that tastes better?”

you nod your head in agreement, pulling out the medicine once more to study the directions of use. “with the dropper and everything, i bet it’s a better experience.”

“shit, it- it even has a dropper?”

“i told you! it’s for babies!”

“babies?! no, no. this isn’t it. this won’t do.” he furiously shakes his head as he waves his hand in disapproval, crossing the distance between you to seize your wrist. “let’s go- come with me. let’s go back to the pharmacy. i’ll exchange it for the right one.”

“nope.” you refuse his demands with a smirk, stubbornly breaking away from his grip. “i don’t want to. i’ll keep this.”

“____, come on!”

“but you already gave it to m- jungkook!” you squeal when he makes a move to steal the item from your hands.

out of reflex, you hide them from him behind yourself. and unsurprisingly, that doesn’t deter jungkook’s endless supply of friskiness. he chases you as he reaches for your back, and you carelessly stumble multiple steps backwards to escape him. whimpering at the unexpected impact, you finally reach a dead-end, trapped between a wall and the boy who’s been making your winter a little less blue. your forehead lands on his chest, defeated, and he keeps you steady with a secure hold of your arms.

a harmony of breathy giggles imbues the silence of the deserted sidewalk.

“what are you even going to do with it? you can’t drink it anyway!”

you lift up your head with a drawn-out whine.

you can’t give him an answer.

to be honest, you’re just as clueless as jungkook is.

“ehhh?” he mimics the sound you made with an amused expression painted on his face. you’re too damn adorable for your own good, and it’s doing very dangerous things to his heart. “will you? are you a baby?”

the rhetorical question is a bait that you choose to bite.

“not really, but i can be your baby.” you shrug, melting him with a coquettish smile.

“ah, i see… is that term of endearment your type? you want to be mine?”

his teasing grin puts his dimples on display, and you desperately want to run back into your apartment just to spend a full minute screaming into your pillow. you’re thoroughly convinced that you’ve never felt more attracted to a person than you are to jungkook. this is bad news. you don’t know to what lengths you’re willing to go so that he could stay in your life for as long as you want. it’s terrifying and exhilarating.

“just to set the record straight, you want me to be yours.”

“and if i do? then what…? are you confident you can handle me?”

every nerve connected to your heart is a wire most alive when you yearn to bare it for another.

“try me.”

his hazy eyes falls to your lips and he goes a little crazier than he was the other night. it’s infuriating that you manage to make them look so soft and so inviting despite the frigid air. it’s dizzying, how his face is only inches away from yours and as always, you smell so sweet, just right. he wonders if you taste the same.

jungkook is dying to kiss you.

the thought has been plaguing his mind, haunting his dreams both day and night. he keeps screaming at himself to just fucking do it, but as much as he is impulsive, he doesn’t want to be the guy who catches you off guard. he doesn’t want you confusing your feelings for him with adrenaline. he wants the moment to feel right. he wants you to see that he’s sincere, and he’s nothing like those bastards who took you for granted…

selfishly, he wants this to be something real, co-existing with the fear of pushing you into a tornado of chaos that is his life.

his heart is pounding violently, he’s afraid it might jump through his sweater. the right moment feels like it could be right now, and he knows you feel it too. he observes your breathing getting heavier, and one of your restless hands has freed itself to grab a fistful of his sleeve.

your lips slightly part, and he doesn’t know if it’s the anticipation, or you did it on purpose to rile him up. he figures his jimin-hyung is right; he would be a fool if he allowed you to slip out of his hands. but truth be told, he’s the one wrapped around your finger.

fuck, fuck, fuck. he is doomed.

a pin drops and he is doomed.

his ringtone rattles the silence and slices through the tension between you. disappointment flashes across your face, and you visibly flinch at its loudness. you’ve grown to despise the incessant noise of telephone calls since moving to your apartment, one of your pet peeves jungkook is yet to hear about. panicked and irritated, he scrambles to dish out the vibrating device from the depth of his pocket.

“it’s… it’s my manager. but it’s fine, i’ll handle it.” he informs you quietly as he rejects the call, opting to send a text explaining his whereabouts.

a pang of guilt shoots through your heart.

“you can go home, it’s okay… i can take care of myself.”

“mhm-hm.” he shakes his head, still busy typing away. then, out of nowhere, he looks at you to properly plead. “don’t send me home yet.”

your eyes flicker to watch a piece of ice fall on his shoulder, white contrasting the black fabric of his jacket. another one lands on your hand, and then your collarbone. the stinging coldness, another thing that makes you flinch tonight. you look up to face the snowfall fiercely coming down, and it seems that the heaven opened up the sky to scold two lovesick teenagers tangled in a modern-day dalliance.

goddamn it, you curse.

“are you kidding me?” you grunt in frustration, eyebrows sharpening your previously dazed eyes.

jungkook barely manages to tap the deliver button before you begin dragging him to the roofed entrance of your apartment building.

“stay here. i’ll just grab an umbrella real quick.”

“okay.”

once he confirms that you’re out of sight, he releases a loud sigh, exasperatedly kicking a non-existent ball on the cemented floor.

“fuck! fuck! why? why do i move so slow? ah- they can’t just kill the mood like that. why-” he squeezes his eyes shut, pinching his nose bridge and putting a hand over his hip, so upset he can’t even speak straight. “we almost… shit, this is driving me insane… she hates me. she must hate me right now. i’m done for.”

—

the aggressive slam of the front door rings throughout your apartment, and you’re about ninety-nine percent certain you disturbed the sleep of a neighbor or two.

“then what?” you grumble to yourself, followed by a desperate cry. “then kiss me! do i really have to do everything myself?”

after grabbing the biggest umbrella you own from the basket you have beside your coat rack, you head to the kitchen where you leave behind what jungkook bought you.

eventually, your overthinking leads you to a bitter conclusion.

“does he not want something more? is he playing with me?!”

and if it was any other person, you’d be fine with that but… your gaze lands on the bottles of vitamins and cough medicine, and you sigh to regulate the accelerated beating of your heart.

“but i think i can finally do this right.”

your voice comes out above a whisper, and the verbal declaration alone fuels the hope in you.

you’re confused whether it’s a sign of luck or childishness. maybe the compensation for being well-acquainted with loss, or good karma if you decide to push it some more… but you always get what you want. despite the blood, sweat, and tears; even during the instances that you do give up, the universe somehow finds a way to arrange matters in your favor.

except you don’t want to give up on this just yet, and you don’t intend to just stand around waiting for the universe work its slow burn magic.

because you look out your bedroom window, and jungkook is squatting on the floor with his head in his hands, looking distraught as if he just lost the lottery and he was only a digit off.

you might be unsure about your label, but he sure wanted to kiss you pinned up against that wall.

—

jungkook casually steals glances from you every now and then. you’ve been softly humming to christmas songs as the ice underneath your feet crunches with every step you take, influenced by the heavy snowfall despite the holidays being long gone.

when you came back, he thought you’d be giving him the cold shoulder, reminiscent of when you got pissed off at a hair stylist not even a week ago (that day, he learned that you’re grumpy when sick, grumpier when jealous). but instead, you lent him a white fuzzy scarf to keep him warm.

“where are we going?” he asks, unaware of your destination.

he’s just been following your lead for the past five minutes or so. he only knows that you’re going someplace that will satisfy your midnight cravings, as you mentioned over the phone earlier.

“i haven’t told you?” you wince. “just mcdonald’s. i’m craving their fries… hmmm, and chocolate sundae.”

“sundae? but you have a cough.”

“i’m all better now! that’s why i’m getting it!” you keen with excitement.

except jungkook is worried. at home and at work, he has many people fussing over him when he’s not feeling well. most of the time, you only have yourself to rely on. he doesn’t like thinking about your past boyfriends, but he hopes that they took care of you when you would get sick. as for the future, he hopes that he’s there.

he perks up when he sees the pharmacy store he’s been thoughtfully scanning both sides of the streets for, recognizing the lightbox signage. “let’s stop here. i’ll buy you your adult syrup.”

“jungkook,” you giggle airily, pulling at his jacket to motion him not to go near it. “i just told you that i’m not sick anymore.”

“it’s better to be prepared.” he reasons.

the snowfall has ceased. he transfers the umbrella to his other side, freeing his hand to hold yours and tug you along with him. he childishly pretends to not hear your protests.

he’s not showing it, but he must be embarrassed about earlier. you can’t help but to smile from ear to ear, watching his back as you’re left a few steps behind, the two of you tied together by his warm and protective grip of your hand.

“jungkook,”

your voice is calmer and quieter. he whips his head back, concerned eyes twinkling from the blaring headlights on the road.

“i’m thirsty.”

—

you’re blissfully unaware of jungkook falling in love with you from the opposite side of the table.

thoroughly engrossed with the movie-like scene outside the glass wall, you’re clutching an apple juice box in both hands, plastic straw stuck between your lips as you take baby sips. he probably sounds like a broken record, but there’s something different in the air tonight, and you’re twice as pretty in his eyes.

“i can sue you for that, you know?”

he drops his phone in shock. he chases it in pure panic as it clashes with the table before tumbling down to his lap. when he puts it down, the screen is already black, a desperate attempt of hiding the raw evidence of his offense. he smiles back at you sheepishly, cheeks and ears flushed after being caught red-handed.

“aren’t i cute? you already made it your lockscreen, haven’t you?” you tease, eyes flickering up to him as you begin stabbing at the chocolate sundae with the little plastic spoon to mix it.

“made what my lockscreen? no, i didn’t!” he strongly denies, holding up his phone to show it to you.

“plain black, really? what happened to gureumie?”

you send him a look of distaste.

“just makes me believe i’m really your lockscreen and you change it to something random before you come see me.” you say in a sing-song voice, shivering with delight after you lick your spoon clean of the sugary treat.

“don’t start. yours is your class schedule!” he retorts with a laugh, which goes up in volume when you slap his hand away for attempting to steal from your fries.

you scowl at him with a displeased pout, dipping a fry into the sundae before popping it in your mouth. “get away. i’m hungrier because you took so long.”

the effect of having your cravings satisfied is instantaneous. it was absolute hell, being sick, albeit it was only a cough accompanied by fatigue. it’s simply no fun being an adult and having no one enter your room every two hours to check up on you. for the first time in the past week, your brain is completely flooded with happy chemicals, and you feel like a little kid kicking their feet with glee.

“it’s not my fault! they had to do something to the ice cream machine… i-i think it stopped working.” jungkook stutters, stuffing his mouth full with a spoonful of his strawberry sundae.

of course, it’s the ice cream machine. it’s always the ice cream machine.

with a gasp, you weakly slam the empty juice box on the table. “wow, i almost didn’t get what i came here for.”

“but you did. ‘cause you’re with your lucky charm.” jungkook cheekily winks at you, and you long to kiss that stupid grin off his face.

—

“holy shit, he’s kneeling down now. kook, he’s begging- look-”

jungkook is convinced he has never seen your eyes this big. he looks at you dumbfoundedly, cheeks full as he chews a huge bite of his burger. you release a sigh, reaching over to turn his face to the side.

outside, just a few feet away at the opposite direction his body is facing, he discovers an angry tear-stained woman sitting on a bench and a man crying on his knees infront of her.

he swallows, tilting his head. huh, so this is what you were watching earlier when you didn’t notice him arrive with the food. funnily enough, this isn’t considered an unusual occurence in such a populated city.

“i knew it. he’s cheating, he’s definitely cheating.” you squint at the scene, shooting daggers in your mind. you rely on muscle memory as you continue to munch and dip your fries in the sundae without bothering to look anymore.

they were still arguing when you gave jungkook your undivided attention, but the shift in the atmosphere captured your interest again when your peripheral vision caught him on the ground.

“how do you know?”

“he panicked and snatched his phone away when she touched it. that’s why they started fighting.”

a sick feeling in your gut deflects your eyes away from the forlorn couple, the salt and the sugar in your food starting to taste bland on your tongue. on the other hand, it seems that it’s jungkook’s turn to be absorbed in them.

“oh, that makes sense.” he mutters under his breath, eyebrows furrowing as he frowns. “seriously, i’ll never understand cheaters. why… would you go out of your way to hurt a person who’s special to you?”

and because of that, his food are left to be unsupervised. with the hopes of resparking your appetite by stealing a taste of something you haven’t had in over a year, you scoop up a small bite of his strawberry sundae.

“that person isn’t special anymore, or maybe they never were in the first place.”

“but if you’re loved by that person, even if you don’t feel the same way anymore, shouldn’t they still be special to you in some ways?”

he returns to his previous position, and the passion written in his eyes like constellations makes you want to believe that maybe the world isn’t a lost cause. it’s a breath of fresh air — the new point of view clear as day infront of you. jungkook is your best friend, it dawns on you then and there.

a best friend who sends you pictures of the sky. a best friend who won’t let you roam the midnight streets with melancholy. a best friend you want to kiss and hold hands with.

“they should, but they’re horny assholes who don’t think about stuff like that.”

“ah, then what a shame.” he chuckles with a scornful shake of his head, finally going back to devouring his burger.

it’s silent for a few beats.

right now, you like the strawberry flavor more than the chocolate. it tastes better than you remember. it’s rekindling an old flame.

“are you that type of boyfriend? who gives out their password?” your voice is rife with interest as you casually steal another spoonful of jungkook’s dessert.

“of course, i don’t mind. i have nothing to hide. i just have the most random photos, and like a thousand voice memos… but… how do i say it?” he pauses to organize his thoughts, eyes pointing towards ceiling. “uhm, it can get uncomfortable, and hurtful… if they always thoroughly check everything. i don’t know…”

“no, i get that. my ex was doubtful of me all the time and it was tiring. giving reassurance is important, but so is having boundaries… never forget that, understand?”

you radiate with so much tenderness, he finds it so easy to listen to every word that you say. but since you already understand the importance of balancing those two things, can he just forget about it and admire your face?

“is that why you broke up with him?”

you pucker your lips in thought, playfully twirling the plastic spoon between your fingers.

“i guess so? he… he just sees me as a bad person. and i was starting to believe that i am.” you decide to put it lightly, scoffing when the mortifying memories of him floods your mind. “when i had that epiphany, i broke up with him right away. we just weren’t good for each other.”

jungkook utters your name, mellow and sweet, like a serenade.

you’re reminded that he sings for a living.

“hmm?”

“i don’t know what happened between you but… when i say you’re a good person, i’m really being sincere.”

during the fall, talking about your past relationship made your heart feel unbearably heavy.

but tonight, it’s winter. jungkook holds out his little spoon to feed you a bite of his strawberry sundae, and you accept it without thinking.

uh-oh.

you peer up to him shyly.

“and because you were so kind to me the first time we met, i don’t mind you being a thief.” he fondly strokes your hair, and you squeeze your eyes shut as your body vibrates with giggles. “aigoo, you eat so well. good job, ____.”

—

“where you are taking me? this isn’t the way home!”

jungkook has an arm around swung over your shoulder, gluing you to his side as you walk together. the last time you checked the time, it was 1:27am. the stores you brush past are already lights off, locked up, and the sidewalk is mostly dead and quiet.

“i really like taking photos, you know?” he grins, sounding thrilled, and you glance at him with suspicion in your eyes.

“i’m very much aware. and so?”

you yawn not long after, leaning some of your weight on him as tiredness seeps into your overused muscles. you’re awfully sleepy, and cold. you can hear your bed calling out your name from kilometers away.

“so we’ll take some together.”

from a distance, you immediately recognize the famous photobooth only several buildings away from the noisy night life of the long rows of bars and nightclubs.

you feel your knees go weaker.

oh, you’re in very serious trouble.

—

curse jeon jungkook.

curse him and his muscular thighs.

“sit here?” he pats his lap as an invitation, looking up to your motionless figure still standing infront of the closed curtain. “or do you want me to stand behind the chair?”

curse him and his intoxicating perfume and his arm wrapped around your waist.

“four photos and… we’ll print… two copies.” he thinks out loud, face so close to yours as he taps on the screen infront.

curse the stupid person who decided to only put one small stool in this small photobooth.

you won’t dare to make it obvious, but your heart is doing somersaults. you realize how arrogant you were for whining about him not kissing you yet, because here you are trying your hardest not to squirm as you’re sat across his lap.

unconsciously, you embrace the scarf he took off close to your chest.

it’s… been quite a long, torturous while of being deprived of physical touch. and you like jungkook. you like jungkook so much that despite hating cramped spaces, you flash the camera a sweet smile while playfully squishing his pouty face in your hand.

“oh, oh, that’s right!”

a yellow lightbulb appears above his head. he bounces his legs to capture your attention, his arms tightening around your waist to prevent you from falling off.

you cross your thighs to subtly squeeze them together, a poor attempt at putting out the fiery tingles spreading throughout your body. you swallow thickly. he needs to fucking sit still. your self-control is running thin.

“act angry at me and i’ll put it as the first picture, okay?”

“huh? why?”

“so i’ll always remember that you got annoyed at me for dragging you here.”

“and i’m still annoyed!” you slap his chest with a frown, glaring at him exactly as he imagined you would.

his mischievous grin stays when he faces the camera, winking and throwing up a peace sign as the flash goes off.

when the timer starts again, he rushes to reach for the floor, sticking his hand in the paper bag from the pharmacy.

“for the next one- stay still-”

you’re completely clueless. your vision remains fixed on him until he reveals a bunch of pink ribbon hairclips on his big palm.

“where did you get these?” you blink at him.

he only shushes you as he removes the earwarmers from your head, thoughtfully fixing your hair before carefully adorning it with the ribbons as fast as he can.

“the ice cream machine wasn’t broken, was it?”

“shhh, we’re running out of time.” he rebukes you to mask his bashfulness, teeth sinking in his bottom lip as he focuses on arranging the ribbons symetrically.

“are these mine?”

“yours.” he confirms absentmindedly. he backs up to inspect his work, but he only ends up thinking to himself is it right for someone to be this beautiful?

the time runs out before you can deem yourself ready. the camera captures jungkook trying to tame your baby hairs, and you, watching him with a faint smile of affection.

“what do we do now?”

he shrugs. “let’s do whatever we want.”

“wow, i can finally do what i want?” you reply sarcastically. “i thought you were prepared for this.”

“three seconds!”

since you’re already smiling in the other two photos, you figure that it’s your turn to pout in the last.

the number ‘1’ appears on the screen, and you feel him pull you closer than you’ve ever been.

curse jeon jungkook.

curse him and his hand on your neck and his soft lips pressed to your cheek.

—

“you’re sneaky.”

“you’re one to talk.” jungkook replies, and you roll your eyes.

he chuckles to himself as he scans his copy of the photostrip under the street lamp beside the photobooth. on the other hand, your back is resting against it, your arms crossed over your chest. you take a fleeting glance at him, secretly smiling to yourself because he looks so happy.

yours is tucked in between the pages of the book inside your bag.

later. you can look at it later when you’re a little more sane and the ghost of his lips stops lingering on your skin.

“i don’t just let myself get kissed for free. don’t you know that?” you heave a dramatic sigh, feigning annoyance. “but since you bought me new clips,”

you turn your cheek to stare at him, but you instantly break the eye contact when you see how he looks like an excited puppy when he’s amused by you.

“…i’ll let this pass.”

“i think i just found the motivation to make more money today.”

you crack up at his words. “shut up!”

god, you’re getting swayed by his antics. he has too much hidden underneath his sleeve. you need to up your game.

a breeze sweeps across the earth, and you sniffle as you stuff your hands in your pockets. it’s getting colder and your battery is draining rapidly as the clock ticks. you die a little inside when you think about the consequences of your late-night adventure. there has to be time for you to squeeze in a nap between school and work, right? right? unbeknownst to you, jungkook takes notice of your weary state. he crosses the distance between you to wrap the ear warmers around your head.

“tsk, you’re going to catch a cold.” he whispers, loosely tying the straps under your chin. he reaches for a ribbon, but then pauses to ask for permission. “do you want to take off these now, so you won’t fall asleep on them? these are kind of sharp.”

“stop taking such good care of me.” you say half-jokingly, starting to remove them on your own. “i might get used to it.”

this upsets jungkook, it seems.

his lips are in a permanent pout as he answers, eyebrows knitting together. “what’s wrong with that?”

you only shake your head with a vague smile.

“goodnight, jungkook.”

you stood on your toes to kiss his cheek, painstakingly chaste yet sinfully calculated. he was left all alone in the empty hallway of your apartment floor, too stunned to remember and return your scarf.

it is not the first time you did that, but his mind is reeling like crazy tonight — the corner of his lips is still stained with the graze of your lips.

a rhythmic knock snaps him out of the electrifying memory.

“jungkook-ah,” a freshly-awoken jimin raspily croaks out while he rubs his blurry eyes. “did you bring home anything?”

is this becoming a routine now? him visiting at an ungodly hour in the morning; jungkook sitting up without a word to retrieve the snacks from under his bed.

“thank you.”

he receives an appreciative pat on the back before jimin grabs one of the diamond-shaped biscuits you earnestly made a whole tray of, enough to go around for seven people. he nibbles on it as he flops down on the mattress, planning to sleep here some more until it’s time to prepare for work.

however, his drowsiness gets pushed to the back burner when the photostrip beside the maknae’s pillow attracts his attention.

“yo, jungkook! is this from tonight?”

“hyung! be quiet!” jungkook whisper-shouts.

“the staff didn’t mention a photobooth to me. is this a secret?” the late-night visitor whispers back to humor him.

the bed creaks as he chases the printed memories from jimin’s grasp, who seems to have gained enough energy to tease him, heartily giggling as he rolls away to the edge of the bed.

“yah, you’re so cute together?!”

jungkook’s bunny teeth pop out as he’s unable to resist a satisfied beam at the flattering remark. damn right, they do.

pulling out a pillow from behind him, he playfully hits jimin with the huge bundle of cotton. “hyung, finish eating and go back to sleep. we have that thing later, remember?”

“you’re hurting my feelings. what happened to telling your hyung about your crush?”

—

“wait a second- i’m still confused. you sprinted to the fashion boutique before ordering?” jimin flips over to lie down on his stomach, speech muffled by the biscuit between his lips.

“they close at midnight, so i had to run there first.” jungkook explains as he reseals the tupperware. weirdly, he only feels the ache in his body now that he’s talking about it. “she really likes things like that.”

“you’ve told me. so how long do you plan on keeping that in here?”

his gaze lands on the paper bag labelled ‘CHANEL’ on the other side of the room, and he makes a pained expression, still agonizing over whether he should give it to you or not.

“but don’t you think it’s too much? maybe i should save it for her birthday.”

“be honest with me. does she even know you’re courting her?”

ALRIGHT FUCKERS THIS IS GONNA BE A HELLA LONG MEGAPOST AS I WAS GIVEN THE OK

BASICALLY this is gonna be a collection of bullshit me and @blackfliesinbluesugar have come up with and drawn

It starts with Goldie still living in Ireland at 17-19 and Scrooge from ages 18-20 staying in Scotland. And long story short they're dumbasses as teens. Cliche forbidden romance type stuff. Goldie's dad has shot people in the foot for trying to mess around with Goldie or just even talk to her for too long. So the only logical explanation they have is make Scrooge hide in the barn when he visits.

Basically Scrooge chills in the barn for a while cause Goldie's the only one that ever really goes in there because she's in charge of all the chores there. Which is where the context of this post is from

After the first time they fooled around Goldie was like 'oh crap what if I got pregnant D:' and told her mom she's going through a phase of flowey/big dresses when in reality she's trying to hide a potential baby bump. Now her mom doesn't care because she's too caught up in the fact that Goldie is finally 'acting like a lady.'

So eventually because they never put together that 'hey, if we keeping doing this we're gonna end up with a baby', Goldie does end up pregnant. And because her dad is a dick and a 'I catch you with my daughter then you die' type of shotgun dad, Goldie is freaking tf out.

About a month after she finds out she's pregnant, the O'Gilt's (well mostly just Goldie and her mom lol) get invited to a fancy dinner and Scrooge is really wanting to see Goldie again. So what better way to see her than to travel to Ireland, steal a uniform, and sneak into said dinner party as a busboy. Problem is he can't risk Goldie's dad seeing him again so he tries to slick back his whiskers

But while Scrooge is running around, he eventually spots Goldie across the room. Now he's never seen her in anything fancy, usually just the flannel and green work skirt. And he just about dies 😭

By now she has a bit of a baby bump she's had to hide so she normally goes for high waisted dresses that immediately flow out.

Anyways, as Scrooge is putting on the uniform he realizes he has absolutely no idea how to actually be a busboy. He doesn't know the first thing about dining and stuff so he's just like AAAAAAA

As they both see each other, Scrooge gives a dorky grin and Goldie smiles before realizing he snuck in. Right when Scrooge goes to see her he gets dumped with a bunch of dishes he has to set. Goldie sees him struggling to figure out how to set a table and he just gives her a nervous grin while she's like 'oh you beautiful dumbass -_-'

She's turning red cause she's trying so hard not to burst out in laughter as Scrooge slips and a bunch of silverware falls on him

He's getting yelled at by the director but he's just giving Goldie a goofy grin from across the room.

Her parents: remember to be calm and not make a scene no matter wh-

Goldie watching Scrooge trip on the tablecloth: BWAHAHA

But as the dinner progresses, Goldie remembers Scrooge doesn't even know she's pregnant. So she keeps trying to tell him but they both constantly get pulled away to do other things.

Towards the end of dinner Scrooge gets a free moment and realizes then that 'holy shit I actually like really love her!' So he darts to wherever she is and is struggling to get it out cause he doesn't know how much time he has left. He eventually spits it out and tells Goldie he loves her and is immediately called away. Scrooge takes her hands and quickly kisses her cheek before running to wherever the director is calling him from.

Goldie is shocked and stays still for a moment but by the time the shock wears off she realizes Scrooge is already long gone and they don't see each other again. And now Goldie's like 'crap crap crap, he said he loves me and I didn't even tell him I'm pregnant.'

They aren't able to communicate for a while cause Goldie's so focused on trying to keep her family pleased while still hiding her baby bump, and Scrooge keeps getting sidetracked and forgetting to write. (You can't tell me that isn't something he'd do because he kept getting distracted in the life and times when coming back home). He has her address, and he has started a letter, and even his family knows about her. 3ish months pass of no communications until one night Goldie starts contractions.

She darts to the barn after the first contraction and realizes she has to do this alone. A letter takes a day to get to Scrooge and going to Scotland herself would take closer to 7 hours. At that point it would be safer to not move.

It's like 3am by the time she lays and the egg ends up being pretty small. The entire time Goldie was just getting sicker and sicker. She ends up too weak to even hide the egg and has a high fever. She seriously thinks she's not gonna make it for the first night she can barely stay conscious.

The next morning she has just enough strength to lazily hide the egg in the hay and sluggishly make her way back to the main house. Her parents are already up and she explains she started feeling iffy while doing chores and collapses.

Because her parents aren't completely heartless and she still is their daughter, her parents' main focus shifts to trying to nurse her back to health. They assume she fell with a bad flu and don't know she had spent all night laying an egg.

During this time she writes to Scrooge telling him to get over here asap, it's an emergency.

Goldie's parents take over her chores in the barn and the moment they said that Goldie went into panic mode again. During a lunch break she climbs through her window and runs to the barn to hide the egg better. She does, and she successfully makes it back to her room but collapses again and sleeps until the next day.

Scrooge arrives 3 days after she lays and now she's really panicking. She's still weak and sick, and her parents are coming closer and closer to finding the egg. Scrooge when he sees her is genuinely freaking out. Not only for the future and that he now has an egg, but because Goldie did it by herself in a dirty barn. She's still a little loopy even though it's been a few days and Scrooge just feels heart broken that he wasn't there to help. He starts going on a tangent about how she could have died but Goldie just kisses him to get him to stop blabbering.

Scrooge helps her clean up a bit cause even with her parents looking after her, she's still a mess. But as he's washing her and the egg up, they hear fighting from the main house. Her parents realized she wasn't in her bed. She starts crying and tells Scrooge he needs to run home asap because if her dad finds out he'll most definitely kill him and/or the baby.

(This was the first doodle for the au before deciding on an exact age/place/look so don't mind the sloppiness)

Scrooge escapes right as her dad comes in. She pulls the excuse of she thought she felt well enough to do chores.

Scrooge rn is running like a madman back to Scotland. He went from chilling with his family to being a father who's child needs to be kept secret within a day.

By the time Scrooge gets back home it's the middle of the night and is ngl feeling pretty overwhelmed. He tells Downy that he messed up and she's just like ??? So Scrooge holds up the egg and Downy just purses her lips like 'ah'

The next morning Scrooge explains to his family what happened and doesn't leave out any detail. Fergus and Downy obviously have mixed feelings. Scrooge is barely 19 yet he already has a kid??? But in the end they realize they can't change what's happened and focus on helping Scrooge protect this child.

Once the baby hatched, all mixed feelings from Downy erased and she just went into 'this is my grandbaby and no one will touch her' mood.

Scrooge and Goldie kept in contact from the moment Goldie gave away the egg. Because of the little incident of Goldie 'trying to do chores while sick,' she was put under close monitoring for the next few months and couldn't visit each other. After constant writing back and forth, they find a date to meet up half way between Scotland and Ireland so Goldie can meet her baby. They try to decide on baby names through the letter but they can't agree on anything. Goldie finds out that Scrooge moved out of his small Glasgow home and into McDuck Castle. He gives her the new location on the map as well.

The first time Scrooge tries to sneak out with the baby Fergus is just standing right outside with his brow arched and Scrooge starts freaking out.

Before Scrooge can apologize for trying to sneak out, Fergus just asks if Scrooge would like him to go with.

Scrooge is a little shocked but can't talk with the frog in his throat and just nods. Along the way Scrooge explains how he and Goldie have been trying to find the right time to sneak out for weeks because it was so hard for Goldie to get free time. She was sent to go across country to get supplies and uses that opportunity to go meet up with Scrooge and the baby again.

Fergus just nods and continues.

When they do see Goldie, she almost breaks down at the sight that the baby survived and is being raised in a good house hold and can't stop holding her. The baby is about 3 months old by now. They finally agreed on a name and she ended up being named Maryanne. (Yes Jelly and I chose that because it means Star of the Sea)

She has to give the baby back to Scrooge cause stupid teenage and still getting over pregnancy hormones are getting the better of her and she starts full on sobbing as she sits on the ground. Scrooge freezes cause he's like aaaaaa what do I dooooo while still holding the baby.

But Fergus crouches down to her and asks if she wants a hug. All Goldie can say is 'uh huh' and he just wraps himself around her. She hugs back and Fergus rocks back and forth until Goldie's calmed down.

'I'm sorry I pulled your son into the mess. I-I was just so scared that my papa w-would kill one of us that I didn't know what else to do.'

Fergus pulls her away so he can actually look at her. And part of him feels that tinge of fear and sadness that the two teens had experienced. He grabs onto her shoulders which causes Goldie to look up at him.

'While I dinnae agree what you two did was right. Ah'm proud of you. Because what you did, finding the will to give up a child for their own safety, took a lotta strength there, lass.' And before she can react, Fergus pulls her in again and let's it sink in.

Scrooge is still holding the baby but now he's sitting down and bouncing the cooing baby on his knee while watching the scene unfold.

Over the course of the next few months, Goldie visits as much as possible and she grows closer to the family and Scrooge every time. On the times she can't visit, Fergus accompanies Scrooge in order to protect them from Goldie's dad. She's had a few close calls with her dad, but nothing too serious

After those events, Goldie practically moves in with the McDucks and they work on raising Maryanne. However like in the Rosa series, they're still experiencing tax trouble and Scrooge says he's gonna have to go to South Africa. The baby is about 2 by now and Scrooge is almost 21, while Goldie is about 19 and a half.

(This next section was an accident but basically it started as jotting down ideas but turned into a fic after I said it would take 20 seconds to write but turned into 2 hours fjdbfndn)

Scrooge is torn between whether or not to go until Goldie says she'll go with him. And because she's stubborn, no one objects. So the three travel across the world together. Maryanne practically grows up on the sea and all of those adventures where Goldie is present in the DT17 Rewriting History book happen.

On adventures they trade off tying the baby to their backs until she's old enough to not need to anymore. Although for the more dangerous ones, one of them stays behind.

But because they weren't married and had a kid in their teens, they were generally looked down upon. It got to the point where they just started saying they were married in order to avoid conflict with others. And after a while they actually forgot they weren't in fact married

'Huh, I forgot we're not actually married.' 'WAIT WE'RE NOT???'

Or

'We're married' 'Oh ok, can i see your marriage records?' '... oh right'

But some old lady or old guy either way starts criticizing Goldie for being a young mother and they just deck the shit outta them and run. Or Goldie fighting someone with baby tied to her back.

Maryanne grows up to be an ocean cartographer and leads sailing expeditions and that's all we have for her. Also she has super blue eyes lol

That's basically almost all of the things we have for this au lol

well if it's linh asks you want, then i've been thinking more about the dark!linh au instead of actually writing it and im still having brainrot about it bc i just. adore the concept.

and okay so i Think i have a basic idea and i have a possible start and a possible end (that doesnt wrap nearly everything up but IS a conclusion i can end a fic on and then possibly write a sequel but then just never do it) so thats??? better??? i just. need help with. everything else.

oh and?? have a quote?? from both linh and tam pov since i cant help myself.

Linh unfroze herself from her position, joints aching at the effort it took to stand up. She waited, watching to see whether or not Rhys would move on. He wasn’t. Fine. She was doing this, then.

and

He’ll pass by her portrait, sometimes, hanging in the hallway his mother and father don’t dare to walk through anymore, and for a second not be able to tell the difference either. She’s the smiling one, though. She’d always been.

so?? enjoy??? even though i havent,,, actually been writing it ive been thinking about this au for SO LONG and i am just. AAAAAA

- pyro

it is Linh asks I want! always! she's excellent and i love her so much

oo the dark!linh au!! I still have my own idea for one of those that you inspired, I just haven't worked on it because, you know, the wings au. I learned a fun fact about the wings au earlier today and it broke my brain but this post isn't about that so I'll move on. I'm very curious to hear about your ideas for it. I also adore the concept, so I am !! right now

a basic idea is how you start a fic! so you're already doing great. all stories start with an idea and go from there. And then the start and end are an excellent next step. Figuring out the framework makes it so much easier to do everything else in the story! I've already written a post about my planning process so I won't repeat all that hear, but if you want help or feedback on anything I'd be more than happy to help! I don't know how helpful I would actually be, but at the very least I think I could be a good listener. Or maybe I'd just be good at asking questions, but that's also a cool part of the process.

The planning stage of a story is infuriating but so much fun, because towards the beginning its a lot looser. That means that there's a million opportunities to pick from and ruminate on. And you can throw a bunch of things together without it needing to be "right" because things don't need to fit together right now. So you can include notes and details for plans that completely contradict each other and not worry about it! But all that freedom can be a lot sometimes, like opening a new document. Because how do you narrow it down? How do you get from point A to point B and make it make sense and sound good? I start a new document every two weeks and it's always a slap in the face like ah. What words should go there?

:000!! quotes?! oh this is so cool

"to see whether of not Rhys would move on." Who?? is Rhys?? it kind sounds like Linh is gonna fight him for some reason. I have already constructed an entire scenario and image in my mind around this so I'm going to narrate this so you can be amused by how incorrect this is. They're at a bar. Linh is in the shadows, but watching. Rhys is some self-entitled bitch of a human she's been trailing for days for some reason i haven't figured out yet. Wait. the plot thickens. Linh is serving as a bodyguard for someone the Neverseen needs protected, and Rhys is overestimated his security at the bar, getting to close and too pushy and insistent and trying to make a deal with the person she's protecting. Maybe they're in the middle of negotiations with papers all spread in front on them and a glass of whiskey in hand. And Rhy is refusing to take no for an answer. Linh's been watching the entire time from the rafters or something, crouching, which is why her joints ache. And now that she's been called to action she's going to use the part of the whiskey that's water (like how they dilute it?) to choke him while he takes his next drink. And come up behind him while it happens, feigning concern but really its so no one tries to come up and actually save him. I'm 100% sure this isn't going to happen in the au but damn was it cool to imagine. But whatever this scene turns out to be will be even cooler. I'm positive of it!

and then that tam quote?? oh my?? I'm trying to imagine how he would've turned out if he continued living at home and seeing his parents regularly and it isn't ending well in my mind. I feel like his parents would pretend to be really loving at first now that they've gotten their ideal one child and don't have to acknowledge the twins but it fades after a while.

"and for a second not be able to tell the difference either." Oh?? is someone mistaking him for his sister? I'd assume it's his parents. I feel like they wouldn't have been able to tell them apart a lot and do that stereotypical "oh but you just look so similar" thing even when they...didn't. I was friends with a pair of twins and hung out with them a lot a few years ago and the number of times people did this was so infuriating and I wasn't even the one it was happening to. Because?? if you took a single second to look a little closer you could tell exactly which twin was which based on facial features. Headcanon that the Song parents couldn't tell apart their kids and didn't even try to. I'm getting distracted now oops.

"She's the smiling one, though. She'd always been." hey just throw me off a cliff next time, okay? (/j /lh). Oh that one hurts. There's so much pain in one sentence, but so much nostalgia. I don't know the context for it but knowing you it's probably angst. And knowing that linh is now dark, the way she's been preserved as sweet and smiling in Tam's memory hurts but I love it.

i did! I did enjoy! I hope my responses to it made sense, but I love hearing other people's ideas. also don't feel pressured to write anything, please. if you want to then go for it, but you aren't letting anyone down by having ideas but no writing. I'm happy to hear about either and I'd be just as excited about this au as i am right now even if it was never written! the concept as a whole is so cool and I'm very interested to hear everything about it you're willing to share.

and thinking about aus forever is honestly a great way to start. it was like nine months I spent just thinking about the wings au before I wrote a single word, and several months after that to write it regularly. don't know where i'm going with this but I'm trying to be comforting/encouraging.

if you do want to write it, I wish you luck! writing isn't always easy but it can be very rewarding. if you do want to publish it, then I'm curious to read it. if you want to keep talking about it, then i'm excited to hear more. if you don't do any of that, it's also fine and I'm glad you enjoy it so much. I think everyone should have a story just for themselves, and if this is yours than i'm happy for you!

leo x dan is not a ship i thought i would see in 2021 on my dash but exactly the wacky content i subscribed for (i mean that in the best way possible) anyways anon is big brain, i am loving both leo x dan and the poly idea 👀  anyway, im thinking about how dan would be incorporated into later pleo storylines and it's so interesting. would pleo still get married or would they choose not to since all three of them cannot legally marry? or would maybe piper and dan get married since leo is technically dead anyway so it makes more sense for piper to marry dan since she does want to be married, but leo is just as much part of the marriage, it's just not official like piper/dan. and then s6 would be interesting how they would handle it together, like they still have each other at least, but their third part is missing and it's really weird and almost tense between them too. the loss of leo is like a tangible thing, that marriage is not whole without him. plus would wyatt and chris still be leo's kids or maybe chris could be dan's? and then with wyatt was like, piper is pregnant but we don't know who the 'biological' father is and it doesn't matter anyway bc they're both the father, and they only find out when wyatt starts showing whitelighter powers. and then in season 8, would piper have to lose both dan and leo?? many questions that i cannot stop thinking about now

i feel like legally piper and dan would get married because you know well Leo’s Dead but i think since they did a traditional handfasting ceremony they would just to that with the three of them (and like. everyone’s like hmm how are we gonna. who’s gonna. like we gotta tell grams it’s all three of you is she gonna get it can we swing this is it gonna be weird. and they bring it up hella awkwardly and grams is like yeah lmao. who hasn’t been in/wanted to be in a poly relationship. and like both prue phoebe and victor raise their hands like. ???. grams? and grams is like. oh well nevermind let’s get this wedding started.) in regards to lineage i think like if paige is there it’s less of a discussion about having a whitelighter kid but if paige Isn’t There it’s like. how tf is that gonna work?? but in regards to like getting pregnant having kids i think it would be less of a cooking up in a lab type situation and more just like. you go off the pill & what happens happens. in regards to s6, i think piper would still get the pain numbed because she went full goddess and you know almost razed san francisco but dan did Not get the morphine because he’s not a witch who stormed the heavens. so he’s here watching piper like Go Insane and he like. Needs to find leo because what the fuck did you do to our wife?? and i think that really starts to like. pull at the seams because dan has basically lost both leo And piper because of some weird shit leo pulled and so when dan sees leo for the first time it’s like. very mixed feeling because i mean for starters gladiator leo great look but it’s also like dude. dude are you fucking kidding me. like i’m so happy you’re alive and i’m happy we got you off that fucking island but Dude Are You Fucking Kidding Me you don’t know what it’s been like to be here especially with the piper you broke you got to hold onto the memories of us while mine basically got painted over day by day as piper moved further away from herself and now what i’m just supposed to get over it we’re just supposed to get over it we just gotta sit here and pretend like we’re not married like these aren’t all of our kids you’re supposed to go back up to the heavens while we stay here and pretend like there isn’t a major piece of our lives missing i’m sorry i literally can’t be happy about that. how could i be happy about that?

and in regards to plot just like a plot standpoint i think like chris would be leo’s bio son bc well he needs the whitelighter half for the plot but then i’d probably make wyatt dan’s bio son just cuz. for balance, or whatever. no actually you know what he stays leo’s son because i like the idea of like. dan running around trying to care for a magical baby like aaaaaa. aaaaa. honey!! wyatt just conjured a dragon! melinda is dan’s bio daughter tho. and then for like plot. i think i would give the avatars to dan. just because leo already had his time split from the pack he doesn’t need to reprise that 2.0 because quite frankly that might tear the marriage apart but dan joining something to protect his kids protect his family in a world where he’s always been powerless like that could be good. more heated leo/dan moments are leo’s more firmly placed with the elders in this one. fun scenes after leo falls from grace and becomes mortal and dan’s like haha hey welcome to the club. and then maybe they go on like a movie date afterwards. like it’s been a long day. week. year. seven years. it’s been a long 7 years. let’s go do something insanely mortal and dreadfully boring. the three of them go putt-putt together.

[dreamwritesimagines]

It’s CMA-

Look you can’t bring up clover/Anthony and not expect me to crash the party.

Do you know how good their story would be???? I normally don’t like enemies to lovers but I’ve been saying it since the first chapter they met: there is definitely 1000% an AU where they’re together.

The bonding over the shared trauma and the recognization of the self through others (and hating it at first)?

Also we only got a small glimpse of it through the story but like when Anthony finds out what her parents did in detail???? You can’t tell me that wouldn’t absolutely fuck (/pos)

Like the way he would be so quiet through it all, but the tension in his body, the way his eyes would darken with every word, his silence speaking more than words ever could but clover not knowing what he’s feeling. The way that he would carefully measure every word in his reply I just-

Also his tendency to like protect his family at all costs even if they didn’t ask for it and just the fight that clover would have with that because she doesn’t like feeling out of control but also how she’s spent her entire life having to be the one who protects herself and her family and just not being able to surrender that or let go of that instinct because of how ingrained in her it is

And just the two of them protecting each other and sharing the burdens of protecting one another’s families. Clover hears someone talking shit about daphne and before Anthony can do anything she’s already verbally eviscerating them.

Anthony gets word that someone’s been giving teddy a hard time in school and immediately sends word to the person, their family, and the entire school and just the lengths they would go through for one another.

They are truly two people who would burn the entire world down for one another and it’s devastating and powerful and tragic but beautiful.

Two people who don’t know how to love in any way that isn’t with everything they are and have.

Ugh don’t talk to me I’m not okay and I am so not normal about them lmao

MY LOVE, WELCOME TO THE PARTY😈

They would have such a turbulent romance! 🥰 Like, I think their dynamic would be amazing, because they're both similar and verrrry different 😏 AND THEIR FIRST SCENE TOGETHER AAAAAA-

The bonding over the shared trauma and the recognization of the self through others (and hating it at first)? EXACTLY!

Like, I feel like they wouldn't know what hit them even before they opened up to each other but when they actually did... oh my 😏

Like the way he would be so quiet through it all, but the tension in his body, the way his eyes would darken with every word, his silence speaking more than words ever could but clover not knowing what he’s feeling. I can see this picture so well! 😍 Like, Clover would be very shocked because his whole posture would be so rigid with anger but he would still be very careful not to scare her off in any way!

Also his tendency to like protect his family at all costs even if they didn’t ask for it and just the fight that clover would have with that because she doesn’t like feeling out of control but also how she’s spent her entire life having to be the one who protects herself and her family and just not being able to surrender that or let go of that instinct because of how ingrained in her it is THIS! THIIIIS!

It would be a rollercoaster for them both ❤️ You're absolutely right, for Clover that's what she's used to and feeling out of control makes her claws come out but like, Anthony protecting her? She would be so confused, going from defensive "I don't need help" to soft "thank you" 🥰

They are truly two people who would burn the entire world down for one another and it’s devastating and powerful and tragic but beautiful. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG THIS IS SUCH A GOOD WAY TO DESCRIBE THAT DYNAMIC❤️

Thank you so so much darling! ❤️

(here it is! at least i had it saved in my notes app so it's not too devastating that tumblr ate it)

dola giggles?!?! iah please let me take her out on a date i love her so much, promise i'll bring her back safe!

i'm loving her feeling things intensely! the way that if you don't know her well you probably don't see that in her but then you get close to her and you see it and it's there and akdjsks. i can see satan being in awe of how much she feels things. like she's just living her life and feeling stuff and he's staring at with hearteyes like wow. (also both of them having learnt to mask what they're feeling and then finding each other and learning to trust and peel back the masks i'm-)

she trusts solomon to be a good teacher to her despite her past experiences! imagine her feeling she's messed something up and sort of panicking on the inside about it, near tears because she does trust him but the weight of past experiences isn't as easily forgotten. and here comes solomon with a gentle voice guiding her and helping her fix whatever it is. me and dola are crying okay this is everything.

oo okay her wanting to release the old habits does kinda strike me as sad? just because she's stepped into a world where she needs to be able to protect herself from people who would do her and her loved ones wrong. she's kind of missed her window to being able to be open and unguarded in her everyday life.

honestly you've put so much effort and care into her character i'm skdksks. very excited to see where things go for her and to find out more stuff about her!!

(Good move!! Also so sorry that I took a while to get to this right after you sent it dhsjkfadsf >.> Do you want an identifier btw? Since you’ve dropped by a few times already? :>)

Yes, she giggles! :> She gets like… Unintentionally a little cuter when you’re close? I wanted just a little bit of gap moe with her sdhfjks couldn’t help but indulge >.>

And perhaps she’d go on a friendly date with you :0 Where are you taking her though?

Asdkfaskdj goodness anon you’re getting me all soft with Satan being soft ;w; but yeah that’s very much part of the brainrot for those two ahaha~ The two of them kind of just… loving that they’re both so comfortable with each other? And the mention of them learning to trust each other like that… I’m hella soft even though I made their relationship like that sdfgad They’ve been through a lot together and have worked to help each other grown and have a healthy relationship so much ;w;

But yeah! Idk why but as I was writing Dola I thought it would be fitting that she’d be someone who just feels intensely but got fucked up by her upbringing? So it’s a little twisted around in some parts so that living in the Devildom doesn’t destroy her ahsjaha So as sensitive and soft she can be (and even then obvious displays of that side are saved for the brothers + Sol), anger and hatred and spite rule over her the most easily. Her most commonly indulged and suppressed Sin is Wrath.

And aaaaaa the Solomon part :(( Truthfully, it’s not just fear of him suddenly breaking her heart with cold disapproval that drives her to tears—she just has such insane expectations of herself that it’s so easy for her to grow frustrated with herself to the point of wanting to cry. Fully believe that Sol understands as someone who was once a king, and as her mentor tries to break her out of a lot of the bad habits she’s developed from always trying to reach her impossible standards for herself.

And… yeah on the point about her not really being able to be free. She’ll always need to watch herself, others, and hold back and suppress feelings, even more so since I envision the people at the Sorcerer’s Society to be difficult to work with, especially because she’s so closely linked to Solomon. And as someone who’s also Diavolo’s human representative while working with Sol as humanity’s protector… Yeah, there’s no way she’s ever going to really get the chance to just fully let go. Which is sad but feels like a fair trade off for being able to live forever and work as a sorcerer?

Gosh tho I hope I’m not accidentally overhyping Dola up??? It’s so much easier to describe how things are compared to actually having it show >.> and seriously thank you shdjshsja Dola’s been a little project thing I’ve been workshopping over a while and I really do just want her to Make Sense. Even if she did just start out as someone I made specifically to pair with Satan lmaoo

claire. . . ilysm thanks for tagging me babe <3 i'm so excited to do this aaaaaa (i removed the other reblogs cuz i think it's long dhshjsdh)

Your anime self ship person: Haruchiyo Akashi / Sanzu Haruchiyo

Your ship name: alyzu <3

What do you call each other: i like to call him haru (my chiyo when i'm soothing him hehe), haruchiyo when im kinda mad. but i call him sanzu when i'm super mad—as in. and uhm daddy yk. he calls me baby—cuz im his babie >< and he likes to call me babe when he's looking for things and he's on a hurry like 'babe where's my tie etc.' calls me by my name if he's mad (i hate this :<)

Who confessed first: this is actually funny cuz we we're arguing that time—he's being an idiot, i kinda sensed that he has feelings for me already. so i was teasing him that i had dates and we got into an argument (bcs hes mad for some reason) and blurted it at the same time so—i guess, we did at the same time. lmao

How long you have been together: i dont know if this counts but we flirted—a lot. even though we're not yet together, you know the feelings, it's just that neither of us had the courage to tell it to each other yet but we became official august last year djdjdsjh

Are you affectionate: we both are, in private. when we're outside, we're kinda low-key? just subtle holding hands or sometimes he'll wrap his arms around my waist. okay so, when we're in private that's where we're most affectionate—i can't sleep without him and he can't sleep without me either. we cuddle every chance we get. i mean it. we can't keep away from each other.

Living together/married: living together. we're not on that stage yet, we still have a lot of things to accomplish hihi

Kids: we're actually undecided. but i know haru wants one in the future—but he told me he's scared cuz what if he fucked up but i always assure him that he'll be the best father and he tells me too that i would be the best bcuz we're gonna do it together—that is, if we decided to.

What your friend group looks like: hmmm, his friends are my friends as well. kaku, koko, ran, rin—well, bonten. tho i have another circle of friends outside of them.

How you each get along with your friends: we get along fine. we have so much fun with each other. you know bonten, they party at the clubs but haru's protective of me >< haru knows my friends and he behaves around them. (but they're kind of intimidated by him lmaoaoao)

Night in or night out: it depends on our mood. night in means cuddling or me trying to read or write something while he's on my lap scrolling on his phone. we watch movies too—then he'll get h0rnknee, not that i'm complaining jsdhldskhjsda so yeah ig we prefer night in

Your favorite date day/night: my favorite date is when we went on a ride to the beach at night and went skinny dipping. we had a lots of fun, we're laughing all over the place. it's fucking cold tho but we kept each other warm iykwim ;)

this was so much fun hjskhdjhdj im bawling aaaaaaaaaa i love it

Thank you so much for the tag, Finn @blondeboyfriend <3 I’ve been really excited to answer this one but it’s only now I get to sit down and verbalize my thoughts :3

Your anime self ship person: Mr. Toji Fushiguro Your ship name: Eruji 😛 What do you call each other: Just our names but when he calls me baby then I cant say no to whatever he asks. I dont make the rules. I hate being called one but he when says it……..I’m just sold. Who confessed first: Me. Told him I like him. He blushes but didnt responded a word. After that, I basically forced myself into his life until he got used to me. Im like a stray cat he took in. How long you have been together: Two. In a relationship for a year and a half. Yeah it took me half a year to get to his heart and yeah I confessed to him probably on our 5th unlabeled date. Are you affectionate: He’s not, I’m not. So, not at all. But girl……..in bed……I…… Living together/married: Technically no. But he has a place and I crash mostly there… again like a stray cat. I don’t think I’ll be moving in at all. It’s just nice to chill in his place even though mine is a lot more livable. Kids: Nada. I don’t want one but he says he does think of having one. Im just not too good with kids. I dont like kids. But he does….and I think he’s gonna be a good dad even though he does not think he is. What your friend group looks like: Do we have? The only other friend we have is from his work. The korean man who drops off some cash and noodles in his place once in a while. How you each get along with your friends: Only few of my friends from work saw him before but he easily scared them off so they aren’t exactly friends. I don’t get friends easily too so I don’t force him befriending them. With Shiu, I don’t like him a lot but he buys me soda with the noodles. So ok. Night in or night out: Night in. We’re both sleepy mfs. And if we have eaten dinner at a proper time at around 8 pm, then we probably snoring already by 10 because he might be off to work again around 2 am. Your favorite date day/night: We both like street foods so we spend a lot of our night dates just chowing cheap seafood balls and ramen. On free days we take the train to the beach. He likes chilling with a store-bought beer sea side, while I rent a board to surf on. The view, his body is the best view.
