ch. 2 - love food critic m.list

    atsumu shuts his car door, pushing up his sunglasses so they're sitting on his nose properly. he looks both ways in the parking lot, ready to walk past once the last few cars pass by. as he stands there patiently, he finally notices the shop to onigiri miya's left. it's colors look beautiful, the paintings on the windows clearly created with a lot of love. 

  however, the thing that he notices most is someone standing in the front, assisting customers. he can notice her with an apron on, clay smudged on her like it's a daily occurrence. atsumu starts walking across the road but he can't seem to keep his eyes off of you or the shop. something about her draws him in, even if he's never cared for pottery or creating it. 

  for a second, he considers popping in for just a moment and buying something just to see what it's like. to see what you're like. the only thing stopping this magnetic pull is osamu's promise of free food for him to taste test. atsumu grabs a hold of onigiri miya's handle, opening the door while still taking a peek at the mystery woman's shop.

  for some reason, in all the construction and want of food, he never noticed the shop next door. the entire building completely wiped from his memory. now though, he can't imagine forgetting it...

  finally entering onigiri miya, he can already smell the intense savory flavor of his food, the pork frying and sauces being added. raising his hand, astumu waved to the cashier, making his way to the kitchen. it's fairly empty this time of day, only the morning stragglers are sitting around with small bits of food on their plates.

  "'samu! you have any free food for me?" he rests his hands on his hips, watching as osamu forms some onigiri.

  osamu looks up at his twin, an unenthusiastic expression smeared across his face, "no, not unless you're paying. the cashier does tell me when you convince him to give you free food. you're only getting samples by the way."

  "he's a liar, just so you know. like a big fat liar," atsumu steps up to one of the counters, resting his hand on the corner as he watches osamu wrap some seaweed around the rice, "but beyond that, when'd ya get the hot neighbor?"

  without skipping a beat, osamu looks up at his brought, nearly dropping the onigiri in his hand. never had atsumu seen his brother act like this. his immediate attention, the fumbling on air when he's made it onigiri a million times. "do you mean at the pottery shop?" he takes in a breath, turning back to the food. 

  "yeah! ain't she pretty? if it weren't for this taste testing thing, that sounds like a scam since it's just 'samples', i would've said something to her."

  osamu bites the inside of his cheek, setting the onigiri on a plate and handing it off to the server. he hardly looks at his brother as he tries to imagine you and atsumu going out. getting married, possibly even having kids one day. and all osamu could do is watch from the sidelines in disbelief. 

  "mmmh yeah, she is. but she doesn't really like the business or so it seems.. so she probably wouldn't like you due to association," he shrugs his shoulders, finally looking up at his brother who has his eyes wide.

  without saying anything else, atsumu walks up to his brother, slapping his shoulder, "you've got a crush, don't ya? on the pottery girl?"

  "no! no i don't!" osamu pushes atsumu away from him, shaking his head belligerently. 

  "ohh suna's gonna eat this up! but i'm totally right about this. it's the whole twin intuition thing, y'know? that's why i wanted to meet her, to set her up with ya!" atsumu reaches to grab his phone, eager to tell their friends all about the crush his brother has seemed to gain. 

  osamu rolls his eyes, knowing he's unable to stop his brother's rambunctious behavior. sure he likes to see you when you both get deliveries. or when he sees you come in for the morning before your classes. but the idea that he has a crush completely goes over his head, running wild through the wind. 

  instead of focusing his mind of what won't be, he grabs the food that he wants atsumu to try. it's a tray of different onigiri flavors and some different glazed pork examples. it looks beautiful and tender, hopefully wonderful enough to pull atsumu's mind from the supposed high-school type crush that osamu doesn't have.

  "set down your phone, would you?" osamu sets down the tray, raising an eyebrow at his brother, "tell me which ones you think are the best."

  "so what doesn’t she like about it? every girl likes a guy that can cook,” atsumu completely ignores osamu’s indignation, grabbing a piece of pork and popping it into his mouth. 

  biting his lip, osamu shrugs, bringing his hand up to scratch the back of his neck. he knows exactly why you don’t like it, the crowds and loud noises that come from the nearly finished construction, “i think she enjoys the quiet more, but a new restaurant is anything but that.”

  atsumu grabs another piece of pork, letting osamu work out his thoughts externally. as he talks, atsumu immediately thinks to himself that osamu cares for the girl next door. his voice softens as he discusses the idea of paying extra to have them finish construction early. even if it isn’t love or some strong emotion, something about her brings out another side of osamu. 

  “ya totally have a crush on her.”

  “just eat your food and write down which ones are best!”

Countdown to 2025: Dec 18

You can consider this one an unofficial addition to tisfan's Also Prey story, since that's the 'verse I was thinking of while I wrote it. You don't need to have read it to read this, though.

Shapeshifters AU / Marvel - Winteriron / Ornament

Tony enjoyed the winter holidays, for the most part. More, since the team had moved in with him. There was always an enormous tree in the lobby of the tower, and smaller trees in the public areas of every floor, and a couple of them in his workshop. There were professional decorators who put up the decorations in most of the tower, but on the Avengers’ floors, Tony did the vast majority of it himself.

Sam theorized it was because all the shiny lights and sparkling baubles were irresistible to Tony’s cat. Steve thought it was because all the trees provided convenient hiding spots for the cat when it was feeling jumpy about being surrounded by so many larger predators.

Bucky didn’t really care why, as long as his boyfriend was happy. He went out and bought ornaments for the tree in the Avengers’ common space -- there were already several of the official ornaments on it, but the city was full of people selling bootleg varieties of varying quality that looked nothing like the staid, marketing-approved ones.

He hung them on the tree and watched as the others noticed them, one by one, exclaiming with delight or laughter.

The next day, Bucky stumbled over a shop that sold ornaments in animal shapes, and for a small extra fee, you could have them painted. Most people probably got paint jobs that matched their own natural markings, or those of their loved ones. But Bucky stood on the sidewalk for a good ten minutes, looking over all the examples, before finally giving up and yielding to the impulse.

A week or so later, he carefully hung ornaments on the tree that matched each of his teammates’ wyr forms -- and which had been painted to look like they were wearing versions of their hero costumes.

Those got even bigger reactions. Steve had done one of those whole-body laughs, his hand over his heart like he thought it was going to burst out of his chest with joy. Natasha had eyed hers from every angle before taking it down and re-hanging it in a different spot -- a little more shadowy, but, Bucky noticed, well-placed to be perfectly visible from her favorite spot on the couch. Sam had demanded to know where Bucky’d gotten them, and gone off to commission more for his family.

Tony, on the other hand... He walked all the way around the tree, several times, peering into the branches like he expected something to jump out at him. Then he’d blurred into his wyr and wriggled up under the lowest branches and started climbing the tree.

Bucky watched cautiously -- the trees were all well-braced against climbing creatures, but Tony frequently thought he could disobey the laws of physics in both of his forms.

Bucky was so careful watching for him that he almost missed it when Tony’s ornament fell off the tree to the floor, batted by one delicate paw.

“Hey,” he complained.

The branches rustled and Tony jumped to the floor, then delicately took the ornament’s hook in his mouth and padded off with it.

“Hey,” Bucky said again.

Tony ignored him, tail high and twitching, as he stalked out of the room.

Maybe Tony hadn’t found them quite as amusing as Bucky had.

The next day, Bucky came into the room to find Tony sitting on the couch, reading on his tablet. “Hey, babe,” he said.

Without looking up, Tony tossed something at him; Bucky fumbled a bit, catching it. It looked like a ball of bubble wrap and tissue paper. “This seems more your speed than mine,” Bucky said, grinning.

“Open it.”

Bucky turned the ball over and found a bit of tape holding the whole thing closed. He peeled it loose, then carefully unrolled everything to reveal... Tony’s Ironwyr ornament. Bucky blinked at it, then looked back up at Tony.

Tony turned off the tablet and dropped it onto the cushion beside him, then held up another ornament. A wolf, dark-furred, dressed to match Bucky’s black-and-silver costume. “You forgot one,” Tony said.

“Oh.” Bucky shrugged uncomfortably. “I’m not--”

“Don’t say whatever you’re about to say,” Tony advised. “Go on and hang it,” he added, gesturing to the tree.

Bucky looked at Tony, then at the tree, then at the ornament, and back to the tree. “Okay...” He stepped over to the tree and carefully hung the little Ironwyr on a central branch.

Tony stepped up and hung the Winter Wyr next to it, carefully twisting the cord until the two ornaments were lightly bumping, nose to nose. Almost like they were kissing.

“Much better,” Tony said, and threaded his arm through Bucky’s. “Mine was lonely without yours there.”

it’s the funniest thing to me that everyone supports an underdog driver till they actually perform exceptionally well.

take lando for example. he was the fan favourite when he had the midfield car, and was still consistently getting podiums or finishing in points. the second he got his first win, so many people switched and forced an egoistic attitude personality on him without even knowing if he’s got such an attitude or not. and then, everyone ran with it. so it became that when he celebrated his wins, he was egoistic, and when he didn’t celebrate his wins, he was ungrateful.

franco is one of lando fans’ fav, because franco reminds us of lando a lot. while he is loved right now, other fans would switch up on him soon and then force an image on him because it fits their narrative.

people hate on lando because of an image they added themselves, but not because his driving, because his driving is actually good. it’s beautiful.

and till the time, people were happy with their fav winning and their fav loving this little underdog dude. now that this underdog dude is defeating their fav and their fav still loves this little underdog dude, people can’t handle it, as if it’s a crime committed against them.

idk where i went with it, im sleep deprived.

sincerely,

your wyr anon

i have so much to say about this issue.

branching off of this post, which captures the entire saga perfectly, i think max fans see lando an inferior, lesser than. granted, lando doesn't have as many wins, doesn't have a wdc yet, but i'm talking 'he must always stay beneath max because that's where he belongs'. it very much boggled me when people started liking lando all over again when the contention (that wasn't even contention since mclaren weren't aiming for it in the first place; lando just so happened to be that good that he was crawling his way up and suddenly the were fighting not only for the wcc, but half-heartedly for the wdc too) was over in las vegas.

this is why i do not take any max fan seriously. i watched them batter this man to pieces in every post they made, wish death upon a man that didn't even do shit, just for them to do a whole 360 and claim they 'like him again'.

saying that he bottled the championship, which is genuinely the most deranged, degenerate thing i've heard because to bottle something, you actually have to be in the advantageous position (read: p fucking 1). which he never was. so this definitely told me that a) people were very much not smart enough to know the meaning off the word 'bottle', and b) they were all just leeching of what each other had said and posting it because they have no competent bone in their body to be independent.

ruined him so bad just for it all to be over something so stupid, for all of his antis to hop off the hate train only because he's not challenging max; it's like they forget the fundamental of this sport, which is competition. max is not always going to dominate, seeing as how many strong prospects are now coming to the grid (and are also having their time to shine after being in the dark for so long). and they need to find some other way to manage that frustration because it's irritating to watch them take lando's words out of context just villainise him.

now, could you argue that all of is this due to the fact that lando had been in a midfield car for so long, that now he has a competing car for basically the first season, people are outraged that someone with no winning experience placed so high? maybe. very much all ifs and buts, but i'm leaning more towards the idea that they just can't believe someone who doesn't act like your sterotypical 'wdc' can contend, or even win it.

proof is in the pudding (twitter, tumblr, instagram). they will yield lando's mental health, the fact that he's so self-critical, the fact that he practised sportsmanship and gave oscar the sprint win, to call him unready, soft, 'mentally weak' to quote some. but then they'll switch up when lando's finally confident about his performance calling him stuck up and egotistic.

max fans are the biggest cowards when it comes to accepting that their fave is, in fact, not untouchable, not the weird god they make him out to be. so they find the need to result to lying about lando to deal with it, and since everyone just acquiescents to it all, other drivers' fans that aren't even affected but just need to hate someone, end up joining the bandwagon as well.

and i fear the same will happen to franco. i've always had it nipping at the back of my mind, because everyone loves him right now. yes, he's in a shit car, and there's nothing he can do about that, but the second he'll starting showing up and properly competing, the fabrications people will hold against this man are inevitable. so many fans do not realise that because you're in a shit car, does not mean you're a shit driver, and that that your results are very limited depending on how inert the car is. hence, they're clouded by that image they've already got about the driver. when franco gets into a team with a better car, they'll still see him as the underdog and think he's unworthy how high he'll place (like we all know he will).

if the event is still open… could you write a kiyoko x reader fic where they go pumpkin picking and/or perhaps on a hay ride?

❝ LOOKS GOOD ON YOU ❞ — kiyoko shimizu

cw. gn! but written with f!reader in mind, fluff, implied mutual feelings but up to interpretation | wc: 412

event masterlist

“we’re a little bit early don’t you think?”

it’s late september and you’re pushing your little wheelbarrow into the green fields. this thing on wheels is a little worse for wear, having gone through years and years of autumns — from childhood and being pushed around it in while you could barely walk, till now, more than ten years have passed since then.

kiyoko smiles, jutting out her chin towards the empty patches of land, “earlier the better might be the move.”

“true, everyone and their grandma’s gonna be here the closer we get to halloween.”

there’s no one around early in the day, and maybe because it’s just touching the cusp of october, it’s still warm enough for a pair of shorts and a cute brick orange sweater for the mood, the air not quite brisk enough for chills just yet. it’s perfect.

“oh look they have the blue ones too!” you excitedly point into the near distance, speeding up your pushing and jogging up past the sign to peer down and get a closer look, “they call these the zombie looking ones!”

crouching down and poking at a firm one, you dust off the dirt and soil, musing to yourself how this one’s solid, and when you try picking it up by the stems and have it just snap, drop and roll away, kiyoko's soft laughs float through the wind like a nightingale’s summer song, filling the air with a warmth akin to a scarf tucked neatly under your chin.

as you let out shocked squeal and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, kiyoko thinks this is one of the times she finds you most beautiful — with crescents for eyes and a wide toothy grin despite the dirt between your fingers and nearly a broken toe if the pumpkin did in fact land on your foot, a gentle breeze combing through your hair as you flip it up and away from your face with a jerk of your neck.

bending down to pluck a wildflower from it's roots, she steps closer to push a loose strand behind your ear and tuck the little flora in it's place with it, not missing the way your smile widens ever so slightly and a pretty pink dusts your cheeks.

she takes a second to soak it all in and captures the scene with her eyes, secretly regretting not bringing along her camera to immortalise this moment.

"happiness looks good on you."

kiyoko as your neighbor (sapphic, fem)

requested by (my lovely mutual) @wyrcan

“could i request kiyoko headcanons where she’s your apartment neighbor?? (romantic) thanks!!”

⤷ when kiyoko got her job, she was quick to leave home and move into one of her own (i think she has a bad relationship with her parents)

⤷ you were definitely the first to greet her

⤷ i feel like she would’ve been too shy to interact with her other neighbors, so she definitely felt a sort of relief when you started first.

⤷ you both always end up running into each other. whether you’re leaving, going to do laundry, or shopping

⤷ personally, you think it’s fate that your pretty neighbor is always popping up

⤷ each time y’all do— you end up falling into conversation, slowly getting to know her

⤷ and around 7 months into knowing her, you started to realize your feelings for the girl

⤷ i definitely think she knew her feelings before you figured out your own

⤷ but… there’s a teeny tiny problem

⤷ you both don’t know whether the other is gay!!

⤷ and you’re not sure how to casually bring it up

⤷ she’s not sure either

⤷ but, one day, you see a guy leaving her apartment

⤷ sugawara is his name, you heard her telling him bye

⤷ of course, this hurts a bit

⤷ but you still have a small sliver of hope that maybe… he’s a friend

⤷ so… you try to bring it up in conversation, failing at being casual

⤷ you bring it up while downstairs, doing laundry with each other

⤷ she’d definitely give you this horrified look—

⤷ and immediately deny that he was, after all, they’re both gay

⤷ you give her a small but not too quiet “me too”

⤷ that’s the start of your ‘flirting’ phase

⤷ y’all are god awful at it though

⤷ she isn’t as bad but you? jesus christ

⤷ your hang outs then turn into… unknown dates (if that makes any sense)

⤷ she’s the one to make the first move(s)

⤷ casually holding your hand during movies

⤷ giving you sweet “you look so pretty”s anytime she sees you

⤷ then, asking you out

⤷ those ‘unknown dates’ are now full on ones

⤷ i think she’d favor indoor dates— at home dates

⤷ she’s not too keen on ‘public’ ones, mainly because she feels like it isn’t… intimate

⤷ if you happen to have public ones, it’s always at a coffee shop or book store (projecting)

⤷ once y’all are official, she introduces you to her friends

⤷ which they eventually become your own

⤷ and after a good while of being together, she finally moves in

⤷ thankfully, it wasn’t that far

this was long…….

thank you for requesting wyr <3

hi my whimsical wyr <33

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

this is so hard to answer because i have such a long list of dream plots. but i'll share a few of them! mentally i know exactly which moots i would love to read these from but i won't name them because i don't want anyone to feel even slightly pressured to pick any of these up (hi i have anxiety lol) - Osamu & y/n as contestants in a cooking show, bit of meet ugly, bit of meet cute, mutual pining. y/n could be either a participant or a judge (a very biased one ofc) - royal au/arranged marriage with Omi. enemies to lovers with some hurt/comfort. sighing very loudly and dreamily in selfship. - lighthouse keeper!y/n x merman!osamu. this one i feel is calling my name but it's also something i would love to read not to write lmao. something something about solitude and loneliness and a 3m tall creature cradling your face gentler than any human ever did before. - outer space fic with Omi. i had this very loose idea of a reader based on Laika, one of the first animals in space. like, not reader being an actual dog LOL just one of the first beings in space and exploring the loneliness (repeating theme hi) and homesickness and angst of it. Omi being ground control maybe or an astronomer, a childhood friend too maybe. - wedding planner y/n and her assistant, some slow burn, rom com vibes? i haven't figured out who i'd love to see as the assistant yet (Bokuto could be fun) or maybe character being a florist/pastry chef/dj who always helps her out. i just really like the idea of a wedding planner y/n who is disastrous in her own love life lmao.

🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love

atm it's eggy's sleaze playlist (eggy if you're reading this hi. i love your playlists sm)

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

you can befriend your favorite writers by being mildy insane in the tags of their fics and in return you will get even more fics (good) and a friend who lives on the other side of the earth (bad)

A Dragon’s Family Album: Thea Harrison, Elder Races

Dragos Takes a Holiday

Manic pixie dream babies tend to annoy me. This child is 3 months old. Even if he is meeting six month milestones, what do you mean he’s responding to English like he understands it? He never goes on a crying jag until you just can’t handle it? Or cries, like, ever? He takes four hour, predictable naps during the day and you have the energy to do anything other than sleep? Plus no mention of copious drooling (he’s teething!) or spitting up (babies are gross for a long time). Although I do adore that Liam has Pia’s ability to get through any lock. They will really have to oay the babysitters more. Oracle’s Moon was a much more realistic picture of early parenthood. Also, ma’am—I am side eyeing the sheer amount of alcohol you are consuming while nursing. Maybe baby dragon Wyr metabolism is different? Yeah, yeah, it’s fantasy. But constantly being turned on for sex on a regular basis at this stage? While breast feeding? Nah. My suspension of disbelief only goes so far 😊.

That said, I really like how Pia’s version of going on vacation with Dragos is to go somewhere he can explore his solo hobby on his own, and she’s completely non-fussed that he expects to spend hours away from them. It’s true love that recognizes a family vacation doesn’t mean everyone has to love spending every minute of vacation together. Pia and Dragos are a good couple. And the kid is actually kinda cute.

Bottom line: it stretches credulity, but for a silly little dragon-going-treasure-hunting story it’s pretty fun.

Rating: three out of five stolen pennies

*********************************

Pia Saves the Day

Rich people porn is always a trip. Amnesia! It’s a classic trope for a reason. What could be better than a love story, except for a new love story with the characters we love? Amnesia-Dragos being jealous of nonAmnesia-Dragos over Pia is so tragically beautiful. The fact that he almost immediately recognizes her as the real treasure to hoard. And yeah, Pia is the best.

Bottom line: the peanut remains a manic pixie dream child, but otherwise this was surprisingly sincere and lovely.

Rating: four out of five stolen pennies

************************************

Peanut Goes to School

Manic pixie dream child is still manic pixie dream child. And a prodigy, of course. Yeah, he’s also adorable and kinda grows on me, but could he throw an tantrum or something normal from time to time? Anyone ever bullied by a teacher at school will appreciate the outcome of this story.

Bottom line: this could be the plot of basically any kids PBS show.

☆ chapter one - bud and sprout m.list

    snow slowly falls to the ground, leaving a light dusting across every sidewalk and mailbox. small fir trees find their way across the city, covered in large string lights and snow. your old white snow boots trudge across the street, two bouquets in each respective arm. one of them features poinsettias for the season, the other being a usual bouquet of roses and baby's breath. 

  while you'd never find yourself forcing a customer into another bouquet, you can't help but yearn for the daffodils and the snowdrops to have their moments. and the smell of jasmine flowers has always been what you've preferred over roses. especially as you carry them down the sidewalk, the sweet smell contaminating your nose and carrying through the wind as you enter the first shop. 

  stepping into your local antique shop, the first thing you smell is a candle that smells like it's been burning for eternity. mixed with the smell of books and a light layer of dust, you know you're at home. "hello... i have your poinsettia order, from calla lily," you look around, wondering where the owner could be today.

  "y/n! thank you for bringing it around, i'm in the process of unloading some books so if you could drop that off at the counter i would be indebted to you," she looks up from behind a few cabinets, a smile propping up on her face.

  setting it down beside the register, you look back at her, giving a soft goodbye. opening the front door, you step back into the cold, the snow falling back down onto you. looking down at your phone to check the time, you take a step forward, feeling something hard hit into your side and cheek. recoiling back, you expect something hard to hit into the back of your head, but all you feel is a soft hand grabbing at yours.

  looking up at the individual, his soft silhouette illuminates from the sun streaming through the clouds, and you can feel your breath catch in your throat. the stranger's hair spikes upwards, a concerned frown on his lips quickly morphing into a smile. “i’m so sorry, i’m so late for this meeting my boss is going to kill me,” he quickly pulls you up, accidentally bringing you far too close to his face.

  you stand there for a moment, staring into his eyes. swallowing the saliva in your throat, you shake your head, “it’s okay…”

  “and i destroyed your bouquet, i am so sorry,” the stranger grabs at his briefcase’s handle and stuffs it under his arm, picking up the squished bouquet from below the briefcase’s leathery texture.

  handing off the paper wrapped roses to you, he lifts his wrist up into view. pulling back his suit jacket just slightly, his eyes widen as pure shock overrides him. “how much is the bouquet? i’ll repay you,” the stranger starts to pull out his wallet, not even letting you reply as he starts sorting out a fifty or two.

  “i made this bouquet, i’ll just make a new one for my customer. you really don’t-” he doesn’t even give you a second to finish talking before he’s stuffing a twenty and a fifty into your hand.

  his hands are still so soft against yours, hands cupping around yours. “i’m so sorry again, i can not be even more late to this meeting,” the mysterious, and oddly endearing businessman grabs the briefcase out from under his arm, already hurrying down the sidewalk.

  laughing to yourself, you yell out to him, “if you ever have a bouquet you need, get it it at calla lily! think of it as the best apology you can make!”

  he turns back to look at you, still running rather recklessly. giving you a wave with his free hand, the man shouts back to you in a tone that could only be described as whimsy and excitement. “i might just take you up on that offer!” quickly turning back around, he turns a corner, ignoring the snow that kicks up with every step.

  shaking your head, you look down at your bouquet, finally taking in the damage. the roses are flattened and the baby’s breath has dwindled into a few petals and leaves. grabbing out your phone, you start walking down the sidewalk, messaging the cafe’s owner with a warning that the roses will be delivered later than expected. 

  snow falls onto your phone’s screen with every message, your hand swiping off the droplets of water every few seconds. looking up from your phone, you press the crosswalk button. the soft hue of the traffic lights shine through the falling snow. bright enough that anyone can see it, but just low enough that it isn’t blinding for anyone traveling through. 

  as the light changes, you walk through, thinking back to the mysterious man that you ran into. the way the light surrounded him making him look like he was some winter angel saving you from a worse fate. even the way his smile widened as soon as he realized you were okay made your stomach flutter with the feeling of butterflies. just something about him made him so memorable.

  and you can already picture yourself running into him again. maybe it would be at the cafe or you’d find yourself next to him on the sidewalk again. you know you could sit there for hours on end, wondering if anything could’ve come from your meeting, if it weren’t for yachi ending your fantasies with a wave.

  “i’m gonna go deliver these bouquets to some of the residential areas, can you stay here until i get back?” she calls out from the front door of your shop, leaning out with her jacket sprawled out over her shoulders, a sloppy scarf thrown over her shoulders. 

  giving her a thumbs up, you walk up to the shop, “yeah, i just need to deliver a bouquet for new grounds because this one was unfortunately destroyed. well, not totally unfortunately…”

  looking back at yachi, she raises an eyebrow at you. “okay you can’t just say that and not explain what the ‘not totally unfortunately’ means,” she leans up against the store’s counter.

  “well, i was looking at my phone when some guy runs into me,” you start explaining, setting down the destroyed bouquet, “and i thought i was gonna crack my skull open or something… until he caught me, like full on, caught me.”

  taking off your scarf, you hang it up on the coat rack, quickly setting your coat up with it too, “and he payed me for the bouquet, and i don’t know. he was just memorable in the best way possible. i don’t even know why.”

  “someone has a budding crush…”

  “sure, like i’ll ever see him again,” you shrug your shoulders while sitting down by the company’s computer. refreshing the page reveals a new order for a dozen tulips, ordered for an in-store pickup.

fic authors self rec! ♡ when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. let’s spread the self-love ♡

I WAS GONNA SAVE THIS TOMORROW BUT I KEEP SEEING OTHERS AND IT'S REALLY REALLY MOTIVATING ME <33 (although i don't think i have five other moots to send this to bc idk who else has done it or had it sent to them...)

HAVE I EVEN WRITTEN FIVE THINGS?? I DEF DO NOT POST A LOT OF ONESHOTS 😭

love notes | suna rintarou

OBVIOUSLY MY NUMBER ONE!!! the premise of the smau is so so important to me <3 i love art so much and graffiti just feels so in character for suna?? and he's such a loverboy?? and the photography plot has just really opened my eyes to the amount of time and effort that goes into the profession!!! oh my god i always think about all the lyrics i picked out <3 and just suna and yn dancing around their problems but still flirting with each other some of my fav chapters definitely have to be chapter 3 and 9 (i have been this 🤏 close to reblogging chapter 9 and just saying paragraph 8 like a thousand times. i wrote that entire little excerpt on a tramway in nyc on the way to roosevelt island) <3 my life while i was writing love notes was really nice and this smau is just so so important to me and i was so happy that others also enjoyed it omg i need to stop yapping <3

try again | sakusa kiyoomi

one of my favorites bc it's basically a self insert 😭😭 it's honestly helped me realize so much about myself and is such a comfort fic for me!! i've read a few fics that seem to capture this feeling of like looking back on a time long ago, which is sort of like fond nostalgia? sort of like if you were married and think back to how you married your spouse, or sitting on a rooftop with your best friend and thinking about how you guys were in your younger days if that makes sense. i love that feeling of it being like your reading a story that happened some time ago, and isn't happening currently, and that's what try again feels like to me. the therapist-client dynamic and messy characters is so important to me, AND U GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF SELF INDULGENCE TRAUMA DUMP IS COMING SOON <3 (sorry this sounds so aggressive omg)

see you at the altar | suna rintarou

one of my fav fav drabbles!! it was so sweet and once again just suna being a lover boy is so important to me!! it warms my heart just thinking about being his love and aa <3

new grounds | kageyama tobio

literally sparked my love for kageyama!! and this felt like my first actual smau and i'm still very proud of it and in love with it <3 like it was so cozy and all good vibes!! super self indulgent for me writing about a reader in technical theatre and the friend groups and everything we're so special to me <3 i get so many sort of like just big childhood friend groups vibes from this fic lowk i think i may have to look into making moodboards for it...not to mention how much @cr4yolaas' night shift smau is inspiring me... (shameless plug)(ALSO RYE I HAVE TO SEND THIS ASK TO U!! I NEED TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SELF RECCS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR OWN FICS <33 I WILL BE IN YOUR INBOX SOON!!)

cold kisses | kozume kenma

life was also lowk a little enjoyable while writing this smau!! like i remember running around fighting for my life the day of prom because i was trying to get ready AND post a chapter of cold kisses <3 i spent so many nights in a cafe writing this smau, i remember the exact seat of the cafe i was sitting in while outlining the smau, i remember working at my last job on dish, and having to stop and pull out my phone to write down ideas, and my manager passing me by and giving me a weird look <3 sorry i guess i associate times in my life a lot with my works although i think that's kind of cool!! i also loved the entire premise of this smau ofc <3 all sparked by how much figure skating tiktok inspired me <3

For Pedro Party 🎁 I'm (aka @ghotifishreads) asking WYR participate in party mind-alerting substance use by: doing LSD with Javi G (don't worry, Nic Cage won't be there) or smoking a joint with Dieter?

GHOTI! Hi honey thanks for keeping the party going and what good party questions you bring 🎉💕🥳

Okay so this is SUCH A DIFFICULT CHOICE LOL

i enjoy a fun psychedelic & I bet with Javi G it would be so endearing to chat with him or even see his reactions lol

But then again… I love a good smoke and Dieter would be a freaking hoot to enjoy that with

Plus shotgunning with him 👀 that’s what will win me over lol

Thanks again for sending this my way, hope the fun party vibes keep your day bright!! 💖🥂💘✨

Happy Birthday!

It’s time to pick a birthday activity

WYR…..

Go to a gaming cafe with retro consoles and board games with Peter P and Joaquín, or….

Go axe throwing with Frank C and Thor

And which hottie would you pick to add to the group to make it a four?

😘

Party Games: cym, fmk, wyr, smash or pass (with any hottie not listed)

omg I've never been axe throwing before so I immediately chose to go with Frankie and Thor!! Plus, it'll be a nice excuse to check out these beefy boys while they show off their skills 😝🙈 honestly they would get really passionate about explaining tips and tricks to me but I'd get distracted by them 🤣

As for my plus one, I would love to invite Harley Quinn. She'd be my cheerleader and tell me I did a good job even if I missed poorly 😂

celebrate my birthday with me!
