[akaakeis]

hi sav!! here for da ask game! 6, 25 and 30! :3 i am writing on my laptop so i cant use emojis and im too lazy to c&p heart breaking emoji.... leaks r consuming me rn.

ask game :3

IYA!!! typing on laptops is so annoying bc there r no emojis... i have a windows laptop + i have to press the windows key + the period key and SCROLL through the emojis like thats tm work... anyway keep those leaks AWAY from me brother FAR FAR AWAY

6. How do you want to die?

oh off to a great start i guess!! IN THE MOST NON-SUICIDAL WAY POSSIBLE? falling off a skyscraper!! hear me out bc the feeling of falling that i get on rollercoasters is so pleasant to me SO FALLING OFF A BUILDING WOULD BE A MORE FREE VERSION OF THAT!!!! anyway thats probably how id want to die (also bc i probably wouldn't be in pain cause itd be almost instant)

25. Do you miss anyone from your past?

oh hell yeah let me tell u a little bit ab some of them!! so one of the people that i miss, she was super duper sweet + i met her through a kpop server on discord iirc? we got rly close and then some of her friends leaked my ip in response to something stupid i did so 😋 rly wasn't that deep i was a 12 year old and that was genuinely a traumatic incident for me oml... AND THEN ONE MORE is this girl i was friends with ever since pre-k and then in 7th grade she MADE FUN OF HOW I LOOKED and wouldnt apologize so i miss the idea of her more than i miss her as a person

30. What’s irritating you right now?

my math teacher MY OPP‼️‼️‼️, one of my irls being neurotic about her crush and only talking to me abt her crush, and my meds are making me feel weird hhhhh

[formula-fun]

Hi!!!!

Wow!!!!! Am I the first person to have found out about this????🥳🥳🥳

The lightbulb actually lit when I asked why Charles was sleeping without the duvet in part 3 and you answered. And ended your reply with “hope this helps”.

And last year when I was very much obsessed with your if I had words series and kept shooting inappropriately long feelings/asks into your inbox (still obssessed just more controlled now🤣) you like to reply to some of the questions I filled between the “essays” and end with “hope this helps”.

Yesterday morning I woke up to the email notif of your reply and brief morning clarity i suppose(finger snapping sound) 💡 💡 💡

To save myself the embarrassment of being wrong in your inbox I went over the your authors notes and it’s the same way you don’t like to end with “.” at the end of paragraphs, also no capital letters in the title, also sometimes your preference for using two threes for <33. (Hopefully this doesn’t sound like stalkish🥲, because I not, just chronically online when I’m not at work and it’s off-season for my industry)

I searched your asks to remember the time when you said you were doing an anonymous work and it was around new year’s, when the fic was posted and my brain decided to rewire after reading.

And I was rereading if I had words last weekend and was coming to new light about a lot of things that I missed before. So like both the stories were very fresh on my mind. There were sentence structures and word choices that felt like you, so I asked.

In particular sometimes what stood out to me that you like long sentences (I do too!) and you prefer to use “;” a lot in long sentences. And you like to “,” and add adjectives or short descriptive phrases at the end of sentences. Or maybe that’s just me because i not anything close to a Lit major:

“Sleep is calling him back under, warm and golden.”From strange new worlds

“Max smiles at him, warm and sweet.”

“Max reaches for him, a hand settling on Charles’ hip, sleepy and uncoordinated. ”

From remember me love, when i'm reborn

This is getting very long (sorry!) I love strange new worlds very much your Max voice is absolutely amazing! I’ll save my gushing to the next ask.

<3

WHAT

hahahshdhdh im DEAD 😭😭😭😭😭 you’re not a lit major??? They should be giving you an honorary degree, wtfffffff I don’t even know my own style as well as you do, I thought I was so smooth with this dhfjgkgfjgjgj

I thought <3 would give me away but I’m too lazy not to do it because it’s so much faster on a laptop than trying to copy paste an emoji. did NOT realize <33 is now my calling card. Should have known the authors notes and comment section would be my downfall. I also did not realize I have a writing style that’s recognizable but now that you say that that makes a lot of sense?? This ask is wild tbh, im learning so much here

I don’t think anyone else figured it out before you so congrats on that! 🥳 it’s definitely uhhhhhhhhhhh not the kind of content I am known for, nor is it the content I’m assuming people are following me for, so I still go back and forth on whether I’ll de anon. I’m very impressed you made that connection in the meantime 😂😂😂

[elijah-terry]

For that OC ask game how about 3 for Kieran and Yuuha and 9 for Stewie :]

oh man 3 is such a good one for kieran and yuuha, thank u prince !!!!

so okay. UM this got kind of long so i put it under a readmore <3 can you tell i'm back on adhd meds <3

questions are from this post!

3. What is your oc's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

So, first, Kieran. For full context, Kieran is originally my partner's oc, but now we both have custody of him <3 And when I mentioned this question to him he immediately said, "Oh, god, just one?" But anyway my answer for this is that Kieran's fatal flaw is love. (not romantic, he is arospec) .He would do anything for the people he cares about, at the risk of literally killing himself. He sees himself as worthless and irredeemable, and values the people he loves more than anything and definitely more than himself. If what that person wants hurts Kieran, he'll do it anyway. He'll do it to the ends of the earth. Part of this is because Kieran is a coward, and he considers that to be his fatal flaw. And to be honest the two are undeniably and inextricably connected. He doesn't want to let himself love. He feels it so much and buries it deep because he doesn't think he deserves it and he's too scared. His brother hates him and Kieran accepts that because he hates himself. He's just a big scared vulnerable feelings guy. :( but. tldr his ass is NOT aware of that flaw, he thinks it's that he's a coward. This love pertains specifically to like... platonic and familial love. His brother, the girl he considers his sister, Stewie, etc. When Kieran actually experiences romantic love he's kind of. chill with it. though that probably has to do with who the guy is tbh ( real quick i have to say now that i am talking about this story with people ((which is super exciting and fun for me!!!)) i need to say. kieran and stewie are not love interests. and in selkies it explicitly states that stewie reminds kieran of his brother evelyn for this reason specifically bc i can see it now. i can see if this ever somehow got published the biggest ship in the place would be kieran and stewie. crying emoji but im on my laptop)

3 for Yuuha:

His biggest flaw is definitely his pride. Yuuha is trans and at his old ballet studio, his instructor didn't acknowledge him as trans, and kept giving him parts that are generally for girls y'know. Often leads bc the instructor was obsessed with Yuuha (is the bad guy of that arc, has a palace, etc) and Yuuha kept taking them every time because he would rather be seen as a girl and be in the spotlight than be on the sidelines. And people used to talk shit about him because of it because he would complain about not being seen as a guy and then take like. idk clara from the nutcracker and people just saw him as a hypocrite. His pride is also what kept him from approaching Hifumi for years after they grew apart. Her success from afar made him feel bad after he quit dance and became a nobody, and he didn't know what she was going through and just assumed that she was too good for him. And he started to kind of believe it. His pride is also what almost gets him killed in the Metaverse, because he gets cocky and runs ahead without the PT. (in black mask au it's his pride that also gets him found out.) But he's extremely aware of this flaw, he just can't overcome it alone. He struggles with it constantly, and it's his Confidant route with Joker that helps him come to terms with it.

9. Do you have a specific lyric or quote you associate with your oc? For Stewie

I had to go through the songs on his playlist real quick but. look. there's a lot of things i associate with stewie but he is, before he is anything else, kindness and love and acceptance. and this is gonna sound so small and stupid and simple but "Everyone you know will lie / those you trust will make you cry / all hellos end with good bye / so who's afraid to love? Not I." it's just. the quintessential feeling at the heart of his character. he's not afraid to love. why yes he is kieran's foil how did you know? sidfjdsf i wrote so much stuff for kieran and yuuha and like. nothing for stewie but like. stewie is full of love. that's his whole him. full of love. like he's still a complex character with other emotions but the things that remind me the most of stewie are his determination to love people who are equally as determined to not be loved. to help people who insist (lying) that they don't want to be helped. to accept those who feel they'll never be accepted.

thank u for reading this long thing sfsdf thank u SO much for asking !!!! aaa!!!!!!!

[gavisuntiedboot]

girl I will literally DIE if you make a Pedri spinoff for JP. like I used to PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE (not literally but like literally). you're my fav writer on here as someone on the gavi to pedri pipeline rn (mainly bc im also 21 and pedri is a) cute and b) only a couple months younger than me), seeing your post about the spinoff made me scream. ik things are like up in the air rn with it but if you doooo decide to write it or write more Pedri content, I will be seated 🫡

Not the Gavi to Pedri pipeline *pretend there's a crying emoji here I'm on my laptop*. I'm so happy that you're enjoying my writing enough to support as I try and branch out. <<33 I've decided that it would be really cool to do a spin off (omg the Gavi's Untied Boot Literary Universe!!), and I have a way to introduce it in the next chapter. That being said, I want to do a different trope for that one. Like JP is friends to lovers (i think), and so we need something different for Pedri. This is where y'all come in. Pls send me recs for what tropes you would like to see for Pedri in this new series! Either in the replies or in my inbox.

[wangxianficfinder]

Hello! The last fic finder, I found a heart emoji before the title then I saw ur FAQ, the one with the question about it. Im just curious, (to all the mods) whats ur fav troupe? or tags in ao3? idk how to put it in a question, but i hope u'all get what i mean T_T

Its just that, if ever we have the same fav troupe or fav tags, i'll just stalk ur post with those heart emoji and try the stories i havent read yet. Thank youuuu in advance! <333

Hello! I usually go for Time Travel, Different first meetings, Crossovers, Modern AU's, Mpreg, single parent, and Fix-It/Canon Divergence type fics. Oh! And characters react/read or watch the series style fics. I love those~ My main pairing is WangXian but I do sometimes read wangxiansang, XiSang, XiCheng, ZhuiLing, XueXiao, or something else if the story catches my eye too. I'd say the kind of stories I'm into mostly veer towards Angst with a happy ending or Fluff and interesting plots or longer word counts. Though sometimes a heavy angst fic does catch my eye, I don't usually like angsty fics unless they have a happy/hopeful ending and I steer clear of pure angst/'mind the tags' style stories most of the time. As for tags, I would say I use Time Travel, Modern AU, Canon Divergence or whatever trope I'm interested in at the time the most ^^ 🧡

Mod L (@ladyunderthemolehill ) and Mod Kay (@the-last-d-boy ) probably have different preferences then me but I'm sure between the three of us, you could find something good to read ☺️

- Mod C

--

I share a bunch of interests (like time travel, first meetings, fix-its) with Mod C, it seems, though I'm really picky about any modern aus and crossovers! I tend to lean towards modern with magic/cultivation. And with crossovers so far MXTX crossovers have been more my go-to fics than others. One of my "guilty pleasures" is reading 'characters watching their series' fics haha

WX is definitely my favorite but I have read some good LXC/NHS and LXC/NMJ centric fics. Character povs I've enjoyed is WWX, LWJ, LXC, and NHS' povs!

I am not a fan of bitter or unhappy endings but angst is good as long as there is a happy ending. Humor is great and crack treated seriously is a favorite! And I just love those fics where WX are hilariously mushy 🥰

I have been a bit lazy about adding my 💖 on newer fics since I've been mostly editing on my laptop 😂

~Mod L

--

I adore modern with magic settings and canon-divergence stories a lot and I really love it when authors get creative and inventive with world-building. I'm a bit torn on fix-it stories, because they often feel a bit too hopeful for me when it comes to MDZS, so I'm more a somebody lives/not everybody dies kind of guy. WangXian is my main pair, but I also like SongXiao and I love to see Wen Qing paired up with Jiang Yanli or Mianmian.

I'm also a fan of angst and I do enjoy unhappy ending sometimes, though I too veer towards angst with a happy ending most of the time.

I feel like the three of us (+Mojo's Recs) definitely cover a wide variety of fics :D

[sodaonskateboards]

your xiao post randomly stumbled upon my tl so i wanted to share some insight on xiaos name and a correction :D

to preface this, among chinese media xiao's name symbolizes his duty to protect liyue and a reflection of his suffering & how it has honed him

魈 can be separated into the radicals 鬼 and 肖 (radicals are interesting to check out !!)

鬼 (guǐ) does mean ghost/spirit as a noun but can also mean stealthy/surreptitious as an adjective, it can additionally mean someone ignoble ! it is different from 贵 (guì), which means precious/expensive. since chinese has a limited number of sounds and is a logographic language, the same pinyin do not necessarily share meanings (i do like the idea but it wouldnt make much sense)

regarding 微, i think one word names are pretty rare considering almost all the liyuean characters have 2 word given names (excluding family name) 微微 is a more common name given name i think ! (贝微微 from a popular webnovel and series comes to mind) if you wish to look up an in-depth meaning to a name you can type "[name]名字含义"

sorry for the long ask @-@ that aside, im glad more people are looking into chinese culture :D thank you for your effort and respect orz

ps. 冬梅's nickname could be 小梅 which sounds so cute

Sorry this reply took a bit, I'm lazy lol. First of all, I was a little worried that I was overstepping as someone who isn't and doesn't know Chinese so I did try to make it clear that this could be inaccurate and hoped I was going about in a respectful manner, so I'm glad I was :]

I love linguistics and was actually hoping Chinese speakers would respond, so I will definitely look into radicals too! I'm also interested in more subtle differences like 2 words names vs 1 word names. Would 微微 mean small still or would it change to mean something like really small?

I figured it was about his commitment to Liyue before anything else, and anything close to small is a coincidence, though I think I may have a different thought as just a "demon", since I didn't know about the swift part, like he's been killing demons so long he's now inseparable from his duty, but I don't know.

For 贵/鬼, honest mistake, I know pinyins can be different but there are homonyms, at least that'd what I've been told, so I figured it was ghost and was another coincidence that didn't relate to him but was still cute.

Thank you for the tip too! It should make it easier and I am fascinated by names and how people name each other, especially Chinese because they seem to put a lot of thought into it, so I'll be sure to use it :D

小梅 sounds so cute too!! Does it mean little plum? (Put those little pleading eye emoji here please, I'm on laptop) And the pun of it being 小, ahhh my heart---- Imagine if 小梅 was 微微 little sister? Now the whole family is small <<<3333

[autisticandroids]

obviously this is a human au. just like a totally normal non supernatural au. to be clear. anyway dean is like. he's kind of been doing this for like. a decade. like he used to go on omegle to 2009 and pretend to be a woman and erp with dudes. and that was something he could justify because it was like... it was for the bit, right? it was a joke. and then when it became jerkoff material then it wasn't any different from erotica, right? he was imagining a woman he wanted to sleep with and collaboratively writing porn about her with another guy, that's normal. and so he really makes a habit of it. it ceases to need justification. so like. sometime in 2010, on impulse, he finally takes one of these guys up on the offer to online date. so dean like quickly hacks together a fake girly myspace and we're off to the races

anyway fast forward to 2019 and dean is running a rotating network of twitter accounts that he uses to catfish dudes he meets while playing world of warcraft. he doesn't really question why he does this anymore? it's just a hobby now. he never really lets any of the relationships go beyond a few months because he feels too guilty for leading these guys on, so he just flirts and sends kissy emojis and nudes which are actually faceapped selfies photoshopped onto pornstar bodies [dean has gotten very good at this] for a while, and then he tells the guys that he likes them a lot but actually doesn't really wanna date right now because work has gotten really busy. i wanna be clear also that he does not think of this as real dating. like he's had one or two long term girlfriends during this time period and he secretly corntinued doing this in those relationships but the reason he kept it secret wasn't because it was cheating because in his head it wasn't it was just because it was weird. he even has like a voice changer program so he can vc with these dudes because he's like. he works in IT but not the "have you tried turning it off and on again" end more the "mail your laptop in and we'll fix it" end and he can field strip and rebuild a dell in fourteen minutes flat. AND make it run linux in the process

anyway the thing about cas is. wait. backtrack. dean is really into some mmo, i said warcraft earlier but the problem is i don't know shit about mmos. the crucial element is that it has to be something that you CAN play and be normal about. but you could also be a super turbodweeb. and dean tries to pass himself off as normal while actually being a turbodweeb. also it has to be something that allows some degree of long term cooperation and socialization. i'm just gonna say wow because that's still the face of mmos after all these years but i want to be clear i don't know shit about wow

anyway dean and cas meet on wow and dean engages with cas the way he would any other mark except here's the rub: dean really likes cas. like, as a person. so as the months go by, he just. he just can't bring himself to break it off. and he is like. he's TORTURED with guilt. so like. in order to help himself break it off. he creates another account, under his real name, and approaches cas again, this time platonically as a man. but the thing is. even this doesn't help him break it off. because now he just gets to have twice as much cas

anyway about a year into this relationship cas casual mentions to dean (his girlfriend) that he's bisexual. and the thing is, dean flips the fuck out. because this is all suddenly way, way too real. cas can't be bisexual because then dean and cas could. could. could. because then cas.....

about three days later, dean (cas' male bestie) receives a text saying like hey um my girlfriend ghosted me because she didn't like that im bi and i'm feeling pretty bummed about it. so of course dean comforts him through that. and also like. it's three days later. dean has has his crisis. he's had his meltdown. he's thought about it. he's considered it. and he finally comes clean

SPEAKING. of dean catfishing people. we need to talk about dean catfishes cas au

❝ chemistry ❞ o.st

synopsis → osaki shotaro moving to town means trips to the dance studio, boba dates, and the perpetual teasing of lee donghyuck. 

pairing → shotaro, reader

requested? → yes! based off @onlyjihoons​​’s shipping game answer ♡

word count → 5.5k (this was supposed to be 1k.... goodbye.)

a/n → i enjoy writing texting scenes WAY too much ;; tbh this is like 50% texts im cryign but i had to convey how much i love 00 line .... and also how firmly i believe in lee donghyuck devil supremacy. as always, feedback is greatly appreciated and enjoy! 

+

if someone were to ask you how you felt about your friends, you would without any hesitation, answer that you loved them to death. of course, if you were being completely honest, you would also have to add that you experienced the urge to strangle them from time to time. that might earn you a couple odd stares but you’re sure people would be more understanding if they knew who was in your inner circle to begin with.

for starters, there was lee jeno — tall, handsome, and the textbook definition of a gentleman. then, na jaemin, who you would consider to be the yin to jeno’s yang. an extremely energetic guy and, in your book, a total freak of nature ever since you found out that he inhales four shots of espresso on the daily. liu yangyang was a more recent addition to your group but, being as quick-witted as he was, he quickly fit right in. he also had a habit of going on somewhat aggressive rants in german which renjun found to be extremely amusing. speaking of, huang renjun was another one of your close friends — the shortest of the group, actually. (and, much to renjun’s dismay, that’s exactly how donghyuck liked to introduce him to people.) he was the type of guy you could trust to keep everyone in check which consequently made you mildly terrified of him.

however, it could never compare to the perpetual fear you have of lee donghyuck. 

of course, you love him to pieces but sometimes you really wish he didn’t find so much joy in, well, making everyone miserable. you couldn’t deny it was funny to watch him tease and taunt your other friends. you still remember him purposefully messing up renjun’s game at the local arcade just when he was about to reach his high score — and also the way renjun had tackled him to the floor right then and there, resulting in the six of you being banned from the place. or, that time he offered to pay for everyone’s starbucks orders only to tell the barista that jaemin’s name was ben dover. (to no one’s surprise, yangyang had found that joke particularly hilarious.) you can also clearly recall how hard you had laughed in both of those situations.

but, donghyuck never let anyone laugh for too long.

according to him it was ’only fair’ to make sure each of his friends was at the receiving end of his gags. so, despite laughing at his latest victim’s expense, each of you knew that donghyuck would make sure you were in the same position sooner or later.

you definitely weren’t expecting it to be your turn one dull friday evening.

things are going slow for you as you sit at your desk, typing away on your laptop. school has been out for hours and your professors have decided to be saints and leave you little homework for the weekend. beside you, your phone dings, alerting you of the new text message in your group chat.

[4:23 pm] hyuck: i’m bored 🥺

[4:24 pm] nana: it’s misleading dude

renjun disliked “i just wanna spend some quality time with my best friends ;(”

yangx2 disliked “i just wanna spend some quality time with my best friends ;(”

you disliked “i just wanna spend some quality time with my best friends ;(”

nana disliked “i just wanna spend some quality time with my best friends ;(”

jeno disliked “i just wanna spend some quality time with my best friends ;(”

[4:30 pm] hyuck: OH COME ON

[4:32 pm] hyuck: anyway can u guys come down to the dance studio now??

[4:32 pm] you: what makes u think i would go anywhere near u when i know ur plotting ur revenge on me as we speak

[4:32 pm] hyuck: because maybe i’ll have mercy on u and just terrorize jeno instead

[4:33 pm] you: good enough for me! thnx bestie, see u soon!!

[4:33 pm] jeno: HEY

nana laughed at “good enough for me! thnx bestie, see u soon!!”

[4:34 pm] yangx2: u literally cannot trust anyone in this friend group

[4:34 pm] renjun: ikr isn’t it great???

you might have been slightly out of your mind to willingly go see donghyuck knowing you had teased him in your group chat earlier. although, if there was a slight chance he would show you mercy if you did hang out with him, you were going to take it.

the studio was where you had first met donghyuck, along with the rest of your friends due to the dance classes you attended. after bumping into each in between classes and during practice, you began to get well acquainted. turns out, the six of you actually got along incredibly well and after a while, you began to share routines and tips, even choreographing together from time to time. obviously, this led to the infamous group chat being formed and lots of time spent outside the studio as well.

but, none of you had lost that love for dancing. in fact, forming your little clique had only made it grow. as you opened the front doors of the building you had made so many memories in, you wondered if donghyuck wanted your insight on a certain routine or needed some help choreographing. of course, there was also the possibility that he really was just bored and wanted you to suffer with him.

what you did not expect, however, was to see him caught up in conversation with another person. you couldn’t clearly see them with donghyuck in the way; all you knew for certain was that your best friend’s mouth was moving a mile a minute. you tentatively tiptoe into the room, hoping to not intrude on their discussion. but, at hearing the doors creak open, donghyuck puts his rant on pause to enthusiastically wave you over.

you sigh, putting your belongings down and approaching the pair. as you near, you notice that hyuck has a huge smile — no, smirk — on his face. you internally curse yourself for believing that he would ever pass up an opportunity to torment you, especially in front of a stranger.

“this is a very dear friend of mine,” you hear him introduce to his acquaintance. “her name is y/n. she dances, too.”

“oh, that’s really cool!”

the stranger’s unusually cheery tone prompts you to finally peek behind donghyuck and put a face to the voice.

and what a face he has.

“this is shotaro,” donghyuck informs you. “he’s new to town and quite the dancer. caught him in the middle of a routine.”

your knees almost wobble as you take in the stranger — shotaro’s — kind eyes that almost sparkle. (you aren’t sure if it’s because of the fluorescent lights of the studio or just part of his charm.) his lips are curved up into a friendly smile that makes you feel slightly giddy. his hair falls into his face almost perfectly, not a strand out of place and you’re uncertain as to how that’s even possible since, as donghyuck had said, he was dancing. not to mention, there’s not a bead of sweat on his face. did this guy come straight out of a disney movie or something?

“excuse her,” donghyuck chuckles. “good looking people tend to make her freeze up. don’t worry, this happened when she met me, too.”

you offer your friend a glare and an elbow to the side and you swear you hear shotaro chuckle. you turn to him instead, putting on a welcoming smile.

“my bad, i just—”

“got lost in his eyes?”

you pinch the bridge of your nose. “donghyuck, please don’t make me have to attack you in front of our guest.”

more giggles escape shotaro. (you swear it’s the prettiest thing you’ve ever heard.) you curiously tilt your head at him.

“sorry, it’s just that, you guys are too funny,” he admits with a sheepish smile.

you mirror his grin, slightly relieved he was amused instead of weirded out. “yeah, well, just wait ’til you meet the rest of us. it’s like a circus show, you’ll love it.”

“hello, clowns!”

“speak of the devil,” donghyuck murmurs, watching as yangyang and renjun enter, followed by jeno and jaemin.

“woah, who’s the cutie?” yangyang asks renjun, in what you presume he thinks is a whisper. however, yangyang has never spoken quietly a day in his life. renjun simply shrugs at his question.

having clearly heard the compliment, a faint blush creeps onto shotaro’s cheeks.

“guys, this is shotaro,” donghyuck answers, tugging the sandy blonde forward.

he gives a somewhat shy wave. “hi, y/n’s friends.”

jaemin erupts into laughter. “uh oh, looks like he likes y/n more than hyuck.”

“don’t blame him,” jeno mutters.

shotaro’s forehead creases, face suddenly twisted in worry. “oh, i’m sorry, was i not supposed to say that?”

“oh no, don’t worry,” donghyuck denies, quickly. “i’m sure y/n doesn’t mind at all, right?”

if you could crawl into a hole to avoid the embarrassment, you would. of course, donghyuck was 100% right; you really didn’t mind shotaro calling the group that if it meant you could hear him say your name over and over again. in fact, his sweet voice could probably make the dictionary sound like the most addictive song. but, donghyuck had no right putting you on the spot like that.

jeno suddenly speaks, catching on to your flustered state and donghyuck’s evil grin. “so, it’s y/n’s turn today? sweet, i’m off the hook!”

shotaro furrows his brows slightly. “huh?”

“oh, it’s just an inside joke,” jeno says, smile reaching all the way up to his eyes.

you wish you could strangle him right then and there for finding amusement at your expense but the last thing you want is for shotaro to think you’re some sort of psychopath. (although, with a friend group like this, you’re definitely beginning to think that’s where you’re headed.)

“got it,” shotaro responds, breaking out into a grin himself. “you guys seem like a really close bunch!”

“the closest,” donghyuck corrects, overly sweet, as he wraps an arm around you. (you resist the urge to shove him off.) “you’ll fit right in!”

+

you believed that the torture was over the day donghyuck introduced shotaro to your group. you would probably just see him from time to time and the studio (hopefully without hyuck around) and it would all be downhill from there, right? the latest notification on your phone alerts you that you are absolutely wrong.

hyuck has added one (1) user to the group chat

[1:05 pm] hyuck: welcome shotaro!!

[1:06 pm] unknown: oh hey guys! :]

the emoticon almost makes your heart beat right out of your chest. you roll your eyes in frustration at how easily affected you were by this guy. seriously, why did everything he do have to be so cute? regardless, you quickly add his number to your contacts.

[1:06 pm] hyuck: why don’t we do a little roll call so shotaro can save ur numbers to his phone

[1:07 pm] yangx2: YANGYANG

[1:07 pm] yangx2: HA I WAS FIRST

[1:07 pm] jeno: ...

[1:08 pm] jeno: anyway this is jeno :)

[1:08 pm] nana: jaemin present!

[1:08 pm] renjun: hi shotaro, this is renjun

[1:10 pm] shotaro: haha cool thanks a lot, i just saved all ur numbers!

[1:10 pm] shotaro: but quick question, is y/n in this group chat? :0

you almost drop your phone at reading shotaro’s message although you’re unsure why. he just typed your name, get it together, you urge yourself.

[1:11 pm] you: heyy shotaro! i’m right here :)

[1:11 pm] shotaro: oh yayy! i’m so glad ^^

hyuck disliked “oh yayy! i’m so glad ^^”

[1:12 pm] hyuck: shotaro plz return my love what does she have that i don’t T-T

[1:12 pm] nana: a heart

[1:12 pm] yangx2: a brain

[1:12 pm] jeno: a conscience

[1:12 pm] renjun: a functioning moral compass

[1:13 pm] hyuck: wtf

[1:13 pm] shotaro: ahahaha it’s like i’m watching a comedy

[1:14 pm] you: told u it’s a circus

[1:14 pm] you: i say get out while u still can

[1:14 pm] shotaro: whaatt and leave u behind? no way!

nana renamed the group chat “shotaro x y/n supremacists”

[1:15 pm] jeno: my thoughts exactly

[1:15 pm] renjun: took the words right out of my mouth

you cringe at your friends’ blunt behavior, praying shotaro didn’t find their antics to be too strange.

[1:16 pm] shotaro: 😳

[1:16 pm] nana: aww someone’s shy

[1:17 pm] renjun: he wouldn’t last a day in itzy

[1:17 pm] yangx2: HELPP

you shake your head, laughing silently to yourself as you mute the group chat and place your phone back down. although, moments later, you receive a direct message. you presume it’s one of the boys trying to rope you back into the chat but the moment you see the contact name, you’re forced to do a double take.

[1:21 pm] shotaro: i hope i’m not bothering u but i just wanted to make sure ur okay .. you kinda went quiet in the gc :>

[1:21 pm] shotaro: it’s shotaro from the dance studio btw!

you can’t help but find the fact that he seriously thought you wouldn’t remember him adorable. how could you ever forget a face like his?

[1:22 pm] you: that’s so kind! i’m okay, i promise. i’ve just had to put up with those dorks for way too long, sometimes i just ignore them haha

[1:22 pm] shotaro: lol yeah they do seem like a handful! but i look forward to getting to know them better!!

[1:23 pm] shotaro: and u too ofc~~

it takes all your willpower not to spam dozens of heart emojis in an attempt to show shotaro just how he has reduced you to a lovesick fool. instead, your response is short and sweet.

[1:23 pm] you: right back at u, taro! ♡

+

“okay, take five,” donghyuck pants, pausing the music blaring from the speakers.

you gladly obey, wiping away the light sweat you had worked up from the latest routine you and hyuck were constructing.

you both belonged to the same dance class and frequently paired together for partnered projects. the rest of your friends attended different classes, which you constantly joked was for the best since there was no way one dance instructor could possibly handle the six of you together.

“how do you feel?” donghyuck asks you, running a hand through his tousled hair.

“the choreo’s great, i’m proud of what we got so far,” you reply. “of course, i would be happier if i didn’t have to get so up close and personal with you.”

donghyuck scoffs at your joke. “i can’t do anything about that. the teacher said the whole concept of the routine is supposed to be is intimate.”

you fake a gag, failing to contain a laugh when hyuck playfully shoves you in offense.

“i’m sorry i can’t be shotaro,” he adds, a smirk forming on his lips.

you roll your eyes. “oh, very funny.”

“c’mon, you’re acting like you wouldn’t kill to have him as your partner, especially with choreo as spicy as this.”

“well, it would beat being paired with you,” you remark, picking up your water bottle and taking a swig.

“hm, then looks like today might be your lucky day,” donghyuck replies, eyes trained somewhere behind you.

you follow his gaze, nearly choking on your water as soon as you catch sight of shotaro entering the studio. he meets your eyes, plucking out his earbuds and offering you a small wave.

“oh, hey guys!” he exclaims, cheerfully.

“hey ’taro,” you greet, rather quickly, earning you a knowing glance from your partner.

“’taro?” hyuck repeats, amused, as he folds his arms over his chest. “you guys are already on cute nickname basis?”

shotaro giggles, eyes squinting adorably as he does so. “it is a pretty adorable nickname, right? she’s the only one who calls me that!”

your heart beats faster when you see how oddly excited that seems to make him. did he somehow find it endearing?

“seems like the two of you are becoming quite close, hm?” continues hyuck.

shotaro nods enthusiastically before glancing at you tentatively, as if to check for confirmation.

“yeah, you could say that.”

your agreement causes yet another smile to grace shotaro’s lips — this time he seems relieved. you briefly wonder if the kid ever stops flashing those pearly whites of his. you certainly hope so, or else your heart may never catch a break.  

“well, since you’re comfortable enough with each other,” donghyuck begins, flashing you a grin.

you’re not even sure what he’s gonna say but you already feel the need to put an end to it. after all, nothing good has ever come of donghyuck’s mischievous grins. you subtly purse your lips and narrow your eyes in an attempt to get him to stop whatever chaos he’s planning to ensue.

nevertheless, he proceeds. “maybe you could help me out with this choreography?”

you want to facepalm at donghyuck’s lame excuse of a lie. however, on the other hand, shotaro’s face lights up in delight.

“you’re working on choreo? what for?” he inquires, curiously.

“for our dance class,” hyuck explains, motioning towards you. “i have a couple ideas so i was thinking you two could maybe try out some steps i’m planning to include. you know, to help me... visualize.”

“that sounds awesome,” shotaro responds, oblivious to your friend’s untruths. “i would love to help you guys out.”

“great!” donghyuck claps his hands together. “just a heads up, the theme of the routine is intimacy, so i wanna see all that charm of yours, shotaro. it’ll, uh, help me choreograph.”

you cringe at the obvious fib. meanwhile, it’s as if a switch has gone off in shotaro’s mind. his smile fades and his eyebrows knit together. “hold on, i-intimacy? does that mean—”

“that you’ll have to get a bit touchy-feely with her? yeah,” donghyuck interjects, innocently.

“y’know... i’ve really been wanting to dance with her.” he faces you, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. “just never thought it would be like this.”

you offer him an apologetic smile. “i know, it might be a bit... uncomfortable. you can back out if you’d like. i promise hyuck and i won’t mind.”

shotaro’s head shakes, vigorously. “no, of course not!” he must realize how quick he was to deny your offer, making him suspiciously eager to be close to you as he immediately adds, “i mean, it’s good practice.”

you suppress a giggle. “sure thing. hyuck, should we get started now?”

the boy in question dramatically picks at his nails, acting as if he had been waiting on you both for hours. “if you guys are done flirting, then, yeah.”

you roll your eyes, shooting shotaro a mildly annoyed stare. he grins, finding it to be equally amusing as it is endearing. (what can he say, the faint pout that appeared on your face was cute.)

“shotaro, how about you get in position right behind her.”

shotaro obeys, making sure to leave a significant amount of space between the two of you. however, donghyuck doesn’t seem to approve.

“closer!” he commands. “the concept is intimacy, not social distancing!”

shotaro shuffles forward, pressing his front into your back. you can’t help but notice how firmly toned his chest is. curse his dancers body, you think.

“okay, now, lemme see your hands on her waist!”

you feel the breath of shotaro’s shaky exhale on the back of your neck as he obeys, sliding apprehensive hands around your midsection. there’s silence on donghyuck’s end and through the mirror you watch him observe the two of you, no doubt acting way more pensive than he truly is. you know he’s just prolonging your flustered state by keeping you in this intimate position with the younger boy.

although, shotaro himself might know it too, considering the fact that he begins to rub comforting circles into your sides that he’s currently gripping, as per donghyuck’s request, in an attempt to calm you down. you nearly melt right then and there. at the same time, you hope he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

donghyuck calls out your name, successfully startling you and putting an end to the peaceful atmosphere. “why don’t you go ahead and lean on his shoulder. just lay your head back nice and easy— good, very good! look at that chemistry!”

if you’re being sincere, reclining on shotaro feels way more natural and enjoyable than it should. he steadily holds you in place, almost as if he secretly wishes to never let go. you wouldn’t be completely opposed to the idea either.

“alright, last thing, guys! y/n, how about you hook your arm around shotaro’s neck?”

you do so, fingers brushing softly against his jaw. he shivers beneath your touch, erupting into giggles when you shoot him an odd stare.

“i’m ticklish,” he confesses, in a whisper.

you can’t help but smile widely. “is that so? hm, i might have to exploit that information sooner or later.”

“as long as donghyuck doesn’t find out,” he replies.

his comment certainly gets a chuckle out of you. “did you finally realize how evil he is?”

“if the torture he’s putting you through right now is anything to go by, then absolutely.”

“only a matter of time before it’s your turn,” you reply. you lean into his ear to add, “by the way, this is anything but torture for me.”

“hey! no whispering!” donghyuck reprimands.

for the first time, shotaro goes against the older boy’s orders to whisper back, “it’s mutual. if anything, i think this is the best thing i’ve done since i moved here.”

your heart melts at the sincere admission. you stare at shotaro in what you’re sure is a very obvious case of heart eyes. you’re taken aback to find that he, too, returns the lovesick look. perhaps he was immersing himself a bit too much in the intimacy concept...

“stop! pause! cut!”

you and shotaro (reluctantly) untangle yourselves from each other to face a seemingly unhappy donghyuck.

“can you guys please just focus on my instructions without falling in love with each other?” he pleads. “i mean, you haven’t even gotten out of the starting position yet.” he groans, exasperated. “actually, you know what, just take five.”

+

due to the fact that you believed donghyuck was going to try and officially initiate shotaro into your friend group with one of his infamous pranks, you decided to head to the boba shop. you hoped that if you showed up, you would be able to prevent whatever mayhem he had planned or at the very least, provide some damage control.

you pushed open the door to the quaint building, the bell dinging to announce your arrival. your eyes immediately lock onto the table in the far back since it was where you and your friends always sat — you had practically claimed it. you expect to see all the chairs filled but, to your surprise, only one person occupies the space.

osaki shotaro.

he beams, probably relieved to finally have some company in the otherwise empty shop. (after all, you weren’t sure how long he had been sitting there all alone.) nevertheless, you allow yourself to wonder — just for a second —  if maybe he was just that ecstatic to see you. the way he enthusiastically waves you over seems to be in favor of that theory. it’s almost confirmed when you reach he table and he pats the chair beside him.

you let out a soft laugh. “the whole table’s empty, ‘taro.”

“i know,” he admits. “i just really want you to sit next to me.”

you swear you could break down in tears simply from the way he’s looking at you; like you’re all he needs. it’s pure adoration.  you wonder if that’s how you look at him too. you can’t help but ask yourself if he, too, notices your longing stares.

you decide that you would be a monster if you denied shotaro his wish, so, you internally prepare yourself to sit next to possibly the sweetest boy you’ve ever known. yet, that proves to be difficult as said boy stands up to pull out your chair like the gentleman he is. you shoot him a grateful smile, mentally dethroning jeno as the most well-mannered person you know and passing the crown on to shotaro.

“so, how long have you been waiting for?” you ask, resting your elbow on the table and leaning into your palm to stare attentively at the boy to your right.

“actually, i only got here a couple minutes before you. we did agree to meet up here a quarter before three, right?” he asks, slightly confused.

you nod in confirmation. “honestly, i think we got set up.”

shotaro tilts his head. “really? why would they do that?”

“might have something to do with our ‘chemistry’,” you explain, quoting donghyuck.

the japanese boy’s mouth falls agape, as he comes to the realization. “oh, so they literally set us up.”

“mhm,” you agree, smiling ever so slightly.

shotaro must be paying closer attention than you thought because he picks up on your grin. “what’s with the smile?”

you shrug, feigning uncertainty. “i guess i just don’t feel so bad about being set up if it’s with a certain cutie i know.”

“oh?” he raises a brow, cheeks growing as he too mirrors your lovestruck look. “should i be worried about this guy?”

“certainly not,” you reassure him. “i’ve only got eyes for one.”

you see a faded tint of pink rush to his cheeks and you find it adorable how your confession flusters him. you can’t help but caress the supple skin as gently as possible. shotaro leans into your touch, his own hand coming up to cup your own, almost as if he were holding you in place. after a couple moments of basking in the intimate moment, you retract your hand.

“maybe we should try and get hyuck to include that in the choreo, huh?” you suggest, a teasing smile on your lips.

shotaro chuckles, “sounds good to me. i might even ask if i can fill his position, too. if not, i just might get jealous.”

you playfully shove him and he raises his hands in surrender. you chuckle, grabbing one of the menus that litter the table, planning to offer shotaro some help choosing an item from the list that is surely unfamiliar to him but it seems something outside the window behind you has caught his focus instead.

“looks like we have an audience.”

you take a deep breath at his words, preparing yourself for whatever it is you’re going to see upon turning around. when you finally do, all you manage to catch is five heads ducking beneath the windowsill, in a weak attempt to not get caught.

“of course,” you nearly laugh. “they’re so predictable.”

shotaro seems to find the situation humorous as well, if his amused tone is anything to go by. “to be honest, we should be thanking them. they got us together.”

“oh, so we’re together now?” you inquire, raising a brow.

“w-well, i mean, if you want to. i-i definitely want to.”

“no need for stuttering,” you reassure him, reaching over to stroke that one ticklish spot on his neck. “to quote a very wise — and handsome — young man, ‘it’s mutual.’”

he smiles at his own words being recited to him. “i don’t know about you, but i think we should seal the deal.”

“interesting. how do you suppose we do that?” you ask with faux curiosity. you certainly had some ideas of your own.

“maybe... a kiss?” shotaro leans forward, eyes closed expectantly as he taps his cheek. you resist the urge to pinch his lovely, round baby cheeks. he peeks one eye open to add, “for the audience, of course.”

you giggle, completely and utterly love-struck by the boy before you. in fact, you are so enamored by him that you decide to go the extra mile and press a sweet, chaste peck to his lips.

it seems as if he himself didn’t expect it as his eyes snap open, hand coming up to cup his lips in shock. when he finally uncovers his mouth, you see there’s a dazed, giddy grin on his face that let’s you know the smooch was very welcome pleasant surprise.

your phones simultaneously go off, alerting you of incoming messages. it’s a given that it’s none other than the group chat.

[3:15 pm] nana: that smooch was romcom worthy i’m so impressed right now

[3:15 pm] jeno: shotaro is living proof that being a gentleman has its perks! everyone in this gc should take notes!

[3:15 pm] yangx2: HERE IHAVE THE VDIEO OF THE WHOELE THIGN IF ANYOEN WANTS IT

[3:16 pm] yangx2: attachment: 1 video

[3:16 pm] yangx2: SORURY FOR THE TYPSO MY TEARS ARE BLURRIGN THE KYEBIOARD

[3:16 pm] renjun: oh wait my bad, congrats to the new couple :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing's wrong, and it's not what I'm used to Oh, does it surprise you too? When it's simple, is it easier than it should be?

"Hey babe, are you okay? You've been quiet today," Dream practically pouted as he asked you. He loved the sound of your voice and while you definitely weren't giving him the quiet treatment, you sure weren't as talkative as you normally are.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just distracted thinking my thoughts." You smiled at him and leaned against him. He looked down at you and pecked your lips. You gave him a sweet kiss back. The smile he gave you made your heart boom. Loving him was as easy as eating a cake (because the usually analogy 'baking a cake' isn't true, its sometimes hard to bake a cake, especially when a hungry streamer keeps trying to eat the batter or start a flour fight).

"Anyway, don't you have a stream with the Dream Team to get ready for? One that starts in," you look at the clock on your phone, "three minutes ago?" The slight panic that crosses Dream's face makes you laugh loud. He gives you another kiss and in less than five seconds has practically launched himself across the house into his recording room. Your laughter follows him the whole way, a smile and blush upon his face.

Nothing's wrong, but when you're not in my arms I send voice notes, you send hearts And get quiet, and I know that means you miss me

Okay, granted, you were the one to remind him that he was streaming with his friends today and speedrunning, but you didn't expect it to last well over five hours. At the beginning you worked on your classwork for your [college degree of choice]. You got it done quickly, as it was nearing the end of the semester and most professors of yours were laidback and wanted you to study more than write nonsense papers (fictional you, i'm so jealous). Occasionally you would jump in fear when you heard Dream shout, still not used to it after years.

After finishing your classwork, you started cooking dinner. Soup was the vibe for the evening, and you had found a wonderful chicken and dumplings recipe a while ago that you wanted to try. You did have to go to the store for some of the ingredients, but luckily it only took you an hour. You can back and he was still streaming. It took about another hour for dinner to be done. You let it cool and prepared yourself a bowl. You set your laptop up and started watching Dream's stream. Hearing his voice made you miss him, so you pulled out your phone.

Going to the two of y'alls messages, you started making him a voice message.

"Hey baby, I made dinner, so don't play so long it gets cold. I love you! Kick the enderdragon's ass baby! Mwah."

You continued watching him stream, and he took a pause for a minute, his screen not moving from the create a new world screen and his mic muted. A couple seconds later you got spammed with every heart offered in the emoji index times what felt like a thousand.

He continued being quiet for a couple seconds, although he did unmute and continue playing, answering George's and Sapnap's questions of where he went with, "I had to take a message."

You're jealous, you shouldn't be I want you obsessively But I know how complicated it can get When you're not in front of me I know insecurities get in your head

Chat sometimes upset you. Sure, you got Dream, all of him, but sometimes the comments made by some of the more obsessives fans were a bit to much.

'With the way he killed those mobs you know he's got good fingers'

'His voice is hot so he must be'

'Heyo dream baby lemme see them feet'

Okay the last one was more weird, and actually turned out to be a joke from Quackity but anyway moving on.

He was your guy, and he promised himself to you, but sometimes he seemed to have a genuine connection with some of the sweeter and not gross ones. It made you scared that someone, one day, will swoop him off his feet with a comment and he’d leave you for them. 

But I'm not gonna interrupt if you need to talk about it Roll my eyes, get offended by the way you doubt it You know you're mine, you just forget sometimes So promise me you won’t And you know I'll remind you when you think I don't

The stream ended a little under an hour later. Dream left his recording room, grabbed a bowl of soup, and found you in the living room, lost in thought. He plopped down right next to you. 

“Talk to me baby.”

“About what?”

“Anything and everything.”

“Okay.” You’re quiet for a bit, despite his offering of listening. He knew you were gonna take him up on the offer, you just needed a bit of time, so he was going to wait patiently. He finished his soup quickly, he was much hungrier than he thought. He put the bowl on the coffee table and before he was all the way leaned back on the couch, you were leaning against him. His arms wrapped around you, your head was tucked in between his head and shoulder, and a blanket covered the both of you. You looked towards the blank tv screen but felt his eyes on you.

“I love you a lot. And I know you love me too, but I’m afraid I’m not enough. You have so many options, especially with your popularity online. I don’t know what I’d do if you left me, whether it be for someone else or just because you’re tired of me.” Dream waits for you to stop entirely, with you breathing heavily.

“Well, you’re right about one thing. I do love you, a lot. The rest of it is wrong and I’ll spend the rest of time telling you so.” Dream says, pressing several kisses against your forehead. 

“Yeah I know it’s stupid to feel this way, but my anxiety gets the best of me. It’s stupid, I’m stupid.”

“First of all, you’re not stupid. Second, hey stupid, I love you.”

Nothing's wrong, I just get in my head too Can you reassure me you, you're still in it? I just wish you could lean in and kiss me

As much as Dream loved you and reassured you, sometimes he would get caught up in his thoughts too. The life of a streamer/youtuber, especially one with as much fame and subscribers as him, was rough. The constant need to feed his fans with entertainment and content, and the need for the content to satisfy his fans was stressful. He hates to admit it, but he some days he spent to much time working and not enough with you. He thinks you would be so much happier with someone without a tight schedule and without a large, intense fanbase. Any random person on the street would be better for you than him, he thinks. 

When he gets into this headspace, the only thing that grounds him is your lips on his. When you kiss him, the clouds go away and all he can see is your eyes, as bright as the sun, and your smile, which can tempt even the purest. 

Say nothing's wrong, tell me to settle down You do it better than I've ever known how Won't pull some tricks for attention But could I get a little now?

Now, everyone knows that Dream likes some attention. He especially likes attention from you. Good thing is you also like attention, especially from him. The not so good thing is both of y’all get distracted so bad, it’s almost too funny.

He tends to get your attention by tickling you, whether it be in the comfort of your home or in public. One day, when you guys were walking through town, you stopped at a flower booth and got to talking with the friendly and flirty florist gentleman. It had been a couple minutes, and Dream was really needing some love, but you continued chatting with the florist who was definitely going to ask for your number but you genuinely thought he was just being nice. Dream crept up behind you and placed his hands on your side. You froze for a moment and looked at him, confused. The smirk that crossed his face barely gave you a second to prepare as he tickled your sides. Your laughter filled the street as you turned around as he tickled you. You wrapped your arms around his neck, which got him to stop ticking you, and gave him a kiss. The two of you continued on your way, attached at the hip.

And one day, when you wanted his attention, it was after he was done recording a manhunt with his friends. The actual video had been done for a bit, but they were just fucking around in the minecraft world and talking to each other. You had had a not so nice day, and wanted the crushing weight of your boyfriend on top of you. You crept into his recording room and came to stand right behind his chair. Based on the conversation you could tell he wasn’t recording anymore, so you knew it was safe. Your hands started in his hair, trailed down to his face, and slid down his body till your arms were wrapped around him snuggly. Your head was placed on top of his. 

“What are you doing?” he asked, and received no response. Instead, you began aggressively shaking him and the chair, turning it this way and that, making him slightly dizzy. His laughter filled the room, and he quickly ended the call. The two of you spent the next 12 hours cuddled in bed, leaving only for the necessities. 

You're jealous, you shouldn't be I want you obsessively But I know how complicated it can get When you're not in front of me I know insecurities get in your head

Dream got jealous as well sometimes. You were beautiful and a lot of the time attracted the attention of random passerbyers. Those people, who you don’t even know, who lived normal lives where they didn’t have to spend every second worried that their face will be revealed to the public and suddenly all their fans from around the world will know what they look like or the general area in which they live, who don’t have to obey algorithms and bend to the will of the masses to make sure they get paid enough to live, who could give you a normal and safe life. Every time one looked at you with some attraction, he pulled you a bit closer and kissed you a bit harder. 

But I'm not gonna interrupt if you need to talk about it Roll my eyes or get offended by the way you doubt it You know you're mine, you just forget sometimes So promise me you won’t And you know I'll remind you when you think I don't

Sometimes, Dream needed to rant. A long, hard, intense, rant. Sometimes it was about how someone accused him of cheating his speedruns. Sometimes it was about how someone said something nasty to him or one of his friends. Sometimes it was about a comment someone made about him or you that got on his nerves. When he needed to talk, you sat there and you listened. You did whatever he needed to get better, whether it was just listen or talk to find solutions. You did it because you know he would do the same for you. And afterwards, a cuddle session was a must. 

How could you forget? I told you seventeen times before 7 AM I love you How could you forget? I told you seventeen times

The morning after rough days were one of the bests. Arms tangled together, legs tangled together, everything tangled together, no one able to tell where one started and the other ended. Lazy kisses pressed to faces, hands, necks, any part of skin the lips could touch. One particular morning you woke up earlier than he did. A quick kiss against his cheek woke him up, and he gave you the most love filled smile any man could do.

“Hey stupid,” you said, “I love you.”

Paint My Spirit Gold

Dukeceit Week Day 2: Green/Yellow

Fans of the YouTubers "Deceit" and Remus "The Duke" Sanders start to suspect that maybe, just maybe, the two of them are more than simple internet pals.

Warnings: n/a

[ID: A screenshot of a Twitter post by user @CallMeDukie. It features a watercolor-style painting of a snake. The snake appears to be made of melting chocolate, and there is a large bite taken out of its tail. Cherries and jam are leaking out of the snake at the bite wound. The snake's expression of horror is overly-exaggerated to the point of comedy. The caption reads: "liked your snake boi, @SerpenThyme. thanks for the inspo." /end ID]

A notification ding cut Janus off mid-sentence. 

“Wow, someone left their cell phone on, so professional,” he said, giving the camera a dramatic eye roll. That someone was him, of course, because he was the only one in the apartment- just him and the running livestream- but that was no excuse not to be a drama queen about it. He finished wiping flour off his hands and grabbed his phone to silence it; but the notification made him pause. He flicked his eyes up toward the camera and gave a slight smirk.

“My goodness, I’m famous,” he drawled. “The Duke himself has graced little old me with some fan art.”

Most of the comments in the chat wanted him to show it, so Janus opened up Twitter to see the full post he’d been tagged in. It was a watercolor painting of the coiled-snake chocolate sculpture- lovingly named Jake by his viewers- he’d made for his YouTube video last week; it was wearing an expression of such comedic horror that Janus had to stifle a laugh. He flicked his phone screen toward the close-up camera on his counter so his viewers could see.

“How kind of you, Remus,” he said. “All of you should go scold him for what he’s done to poor Jake here.”

Most of his viewers would know he was joking- after all, they were the ones to nickname him Deceit when he provided neither a real or fake name for his online persona. They knew full well what he was like by now.

The oven timer dinged. Janus silenced his phone and set it aside.

“And our first batch of cookies is done. You know, why don’t we show the Duke some appreciation?”

[ID: An Instagram post by user @SerpenThyme. The photo is an artistically-framed shot of a stack of sugar cookies with green, yellow, and pink icing. Propped up against the stack is another cookie, with an intricate icing-drawing of an octopus. The photo appears to have been color corrected to have high contrast, low saturation, and a dark vignette at the edges. The Instagram user @OctoDukie is tagged. No caption. /end ID]

“You know, I have often been accused of actually being a little old lady, what with my fondness for knitted jumpers, rocking chairs, and incredibly fucked up murder mystery books. Today I am doing nothing to dispel this accusation, by making soup.”

The studio was dark and empty aside from Remus' workspace. Everyone else had left long ago, even his own brother, which meant that it was officially ass-o'clock in the morning (or, as most people called it, somewhere between 1 and 2 a.m.) But Remus was stuck in hyperfocus, honed in on putting the last touches on a commission that he'd been putting off for weeks. It's not that it was a tough painting- once he'd gotten started, it was actually a very creatively satisfying piece- but man, executive dysfunction could go suck a dick

“French onion soup, specifically. Because while I do like to pretend I am a classy bitch, I am also, regrettably, a lazy bitch with a distaste for anything that takes longer than one bottle of wine to make.”

Remus hated working in silence. It was stifling, almost suffocating. His brain needed noise like his lungs needed air. So when the studio had grown still and silent, Remus had flipped open his laptop and queued up some YouTube videos. 

“So we have here three pounds of onions that we need to slice up, pole to pole. You’re going to cry no matter what, so if you have any memories you’ve been repressing since middle school, now is an excellent time to dredge those up.” 

And if it happened to be 90% SerpenThyme videos, well. Sue him. 

“Now the first rule of caramelizing onions: fast and sloppy is always better than slow and thorough… at least, that’s what every man I’ve ever slept with tells me.”

Remus choked and glanced over to his laptop screen just in time to catch Deceit's trademark smirk directed at the audience just for a moment. It was the deadpan delivery that always got him. Remus could barely hold onto a joke long enough to get through it without cackling mid-punchline, but this fucker could say the funniest shit like an off-hand comment. 

He wiped his hands off on his jeans (what use were clothes if you couldn't use them as paint rags?) and pulled his laptop across the table.  He typed out a quick comment, citing the timestamp of the joke, and after it was posted, he shut his laptop. 

'Cause ass-o'clock was short for "get-your-ass-home-or-I’ll-kick-it" o'clock. 

-

[ID: A screenshot of a YouTube comments section. The first comment is by user TheDuke, and reads: "10:42 wow, rude." The second comment is a reply by user SerpenThyme, and simply reads ";)" /end ID]

-

Janus plopped down on the couch with a slight groan. He didn’t need to stream today, but he really hated missing days. Besides… he was fine. Really. 

He adjusted the camera until he was happy with the framing, and then checked the settings on his streaming software. Satisfied, he started the stream, and watched as his usual viewers rolled in. 

“What do you mean I’m not in my kitchen?” Janus drawled, addressing the chat. He glanced around with an expression of faux-shock on his face. “My goodness, when did that happen?”

He chuckled, and then gestured to his surroundings. “Yes, we are in my living room today. If you must know, my closest and most trusted friend tried to murder me today- yes, Virgil, it was attempted murder and nothing less- and I survived with nary a scratch… and a broken foot, but that is beside the point. Anyway, I’m not allowed to stand for long periods of time, and I may or may not be somewhat inebriated by pain pills and couldn’t stand even if I wanted to. So we are cooking from my couch today.”

Janus paused for a few moments to read the chat messages as they popped up. A few get well soon’s, a few theories about the “attempted murder,” Virgil- who moderated his chat for him- vehemently denying the “attempted murder” but otherwise refusing to clarify the event, and a large volume of wtf why are you streaming today, take care of yourself comments, which made him smile. But one particular comment caught his eye, almost lost amid the torrent of an active chat: wait this kinda looks like the Duke’s living room?

“Oh, VampSuga,” he said, addressing that commenter in particular with a slight smirk. “I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about. Anyway, since I can’t reach my oven from here, I thought some no-bake cookies were in order. For these you will need-”

-

[ID: A screenshot of a Discord conversation. The text reads:

“VampSuga: Ok ok hear me out. Dukeceit. 

Starstruck96: who?

IneffableSnek: lmao

FeralBeauYasha: lol

VampSuga: Deceit and Remus Sanders! They’re totally dating. I will die on this hill. 

FeralBeauYasha: Isn’t the duke w/ PatPat?

IneffableSnek: no thats his brothers bf

FeralBeauYasha: ohh

VampSuga: Did anyone see Deceit’s stream today? I swear that’s the Duke’s livingroom. 

StarStruck96: idk that seems like a stretch

IneffableSnek: no wait i kno what u mean

IneffableSnek: im watching the duke’s old videos and that one where he shows off all his old weapons he’s in a living room kinda like deceit’s 

FeralBeauYasha: They were acting all cute on twitter too

VampSuga: DUKECEIT”  /end ID]

"Hey guys, been a while since you've seen my face and not just whatever my hands are busy with, when it's within YouTube's terms and conditions I mean. They used to be way more lenient…" Remus trailed off for a moment, then shook his head sharply and plastered on a grin. 

"Anyway! In June me and a few other creators did a fundraiser for the Trevor Project, and y'all smashed the goal, so I let you decide what video I'd make this month." He paused, and gestured to the mountain of clothes piled behind him on the bed. "And you had so many juicy ideas to choose from, but you decided to dress me up like a Barbie instead."

Remus paused to scroll through his phone for a few moments. "Ah, ok, here we go. Twitter user YoonIsMyCat- oh, BTS, nice- sent in this first outfit. Uh… future Remus, put up the post here somewhere." He gestured vaguely to his right. "Y'all went with either a fuckton more clothes or a fuckton less clothes, which I respect. Apparently this outfit is called…” He squinted at his phone. “Amish chic? I take it back, no respect at all.”

Remus cycled through the outfits his viewers sent in, which ranged from the aforementioned “Amish chic” to “2008 rave attire” to “ok now you guys are just fucking with me” (which consisted of one of those big puffy snow coats, lime green in color; booty shorts with the shrug text emoji across the ass; fuzzy pink boots; and a yellow cowboy hat to top off the whole thing. It was awful. Remus loved it.) The mountain of clothes on the bed gradually became a mess of clothes spread across the floor instead, until there was just one outfit left. 

“Ok so Twitter user VampSuga sent me this outfit that I’m gonna call ‘sexy librarian.’ I couldn’t find this exact sweater online, but-” he paused for dramatic effect, before brandishing a sweater toward the camera like a bullfighter. “My boyfriend had something that was close enough.”

Remus hopped up from the bed and switched off the camera so he could change.

“They’re going to lose their minds,” a voice drawled from the doorway. Remus threw his shirt at him.

“Shoo, I’m getting naked.”

[ID: A Twitter post by user @CallMeDukie. It features a selfie of YouTuber Remus “The Duke” Sanders, a Hispanic man with his hair dyed green and styled into a spiked mohawk.

[ID: A series of three gifs featuring Youtubers SerpenThyme, aka Deceit, and TheDuke, aka Remus Sanders. Deceit is a black man with long, dreadlocked hair, and vitiligo patches along the left side of his face. Remus is a Hispanic man with green-dyed hair styled into a mohawk, many ear and facial piercings, and tattoos covering both arms. Each gif is edited so that the highlights are tinged yellow when Deceit is seen, and tinged green when Remus is seen.

The first gif depicts a close-up shot of Deceit’s hands as he carefully decorates a cookie with green and yellow icing. The cookie art he is working on appears to be a half-finished octopus. The gif then fades into a mid-shot of Remus, with his back to the camera, facing a canvas. The canvas is blank, and Remus appears to be laying out paints on a table to his left. 

The second gif depicts Deceit seated at his couch, facing the camera. He has many ingredients spread across his coffee table (including oats, cocoa powder, and butter) and appears to be in the process of laying out several more. The gif fades to show Remus seated at a similar couch with a similar coffee table in front of him. The camera is angled slightly downward to better show the myriad of knives spread out across the table. Remus is gesturing wildly with a morning star held in his hand. 

The third gif depicts Deceit in his kitchen. He is pulling on a bright, yellow knitted cardigan, and smirking toward the camera. The gif fades to show Remus in his bedroom, seated on his bed. He is holding up a similar-looking cardigan toward the camera and grinning. /end ID]

“Remus, it’s almost two in the morning. Come to bed.”

“I’m coming, sorry. Twitter distracted me.”

“Mm. I can’t believe the bird app is more distracting than I am.”

“You should try harder.”

“Come to bed and maybe I will.”

“Ok, ok, I’m coming. Hang on though, is it cool if I post this?”

“Sure. They figured it out anyway.”

“Sweet. Ok, Jannie, I’m coming.”

Ok first david's chapter because I didn't last week

DAVID MY PRECIOUS MY EVERYTHING

Alright who's this person and who's the person they're talking about

AYYY WE GETTING ALEC AND DAVID CONTENT

Omg right???

TF is up with white suit

Just no no no

I want a crepe

Oof the smile don't even get me started

I'm jumping in there to shit about Asmodeus

If David had known that shit-talking Asmodeus would get him closer to Max’s father, he would have gotten himself kidnapped ages ago.

DAVID AJSVIWNSGDS

I too would also get kidnapped by a prince of hell to get closer to Alec 😔😔

Omg he comes over to make them breakfast

David what if I gave you a pet in the rwrb au? Do I get crepes too?

max is out cleaning the oceans my boy 😭😭

“Oh, David,” the warlock groaned, looking at the plate of food. “For this, you can call me anything you want.”

“What did I just walk into?” Alec Lightwood asked with a chuckle and sat down next to his husband.

BAISHISHDIWKSBDHELSBS

Literally the noise I made

Max has a litany of pet names for David – ranging from ‘babe’ to things that should not be said out loud in public.

No wait I wanna know-

I'm on my phone this is going to take so long to paste on to the ask...

Discord does not vibe with me on phone 😔 (lmao im on my laptop now it's all good)

But the bookworm inside him yearned for something more.

Something a little more intimate maybe. Something personal.

Bestie same

But for that I also need someone to call me that so-

Sigh

I usually listen to the lbaf playlist while reading (I'm very proud of how chronological it is) this is the first time I've shuffled it

MAX

Max I will literally do anything for you to magically clean the oceans in real life too 😔😔

I like this emoji 😔😔

“Love is blind,” Magnus said in the background. “But apparently it also has no sense of smell.”

Dude same.

No offence but max I once drove by some very disgusting land fills and-

“I’ve literally seen you lick ichor off dad’s face,” Max grumbled.

Magnus why-

Y'all disgusting

He could clean himself with the snap of his fingers – which, uh, came in handy during other situations.

I choked on a cough-

Sir I'm already sick-

But Max liked taking showers for some reason – so much so that he would randomly turn up at the institute and ask David to shower with him.

“But angel,” David would say. “Neither of us are dirty.”

Max would them dump something disgusting on both of them and drag David into the shower.

First of all, showers are amazing you don't need a reason for one

Second of all, I'm so in love with them

This is goals, literal goals

AWW HE GETS CHOCOLATE SYRUP

LMAO MAGNUS HONEY-

Well I mean- sure 👀👀

Two eye pairs look so weird...

It's kind of endearing when he lies about his age...

Idk how to explain but Magnus bane is the only liar I like in this house

That came out wrong

Ahem anyway let's move on

Ykw

Imma imagine his mother as Coraline from the book

Like

When she was a child

All the stories are true

This was his Max.

This. Him.

Not the Lightwood-Bane. Not the eldest curse. Not the warlock.

This boy.

The boy who wanted to save and protect everything within his power.

This was the Max he had loved all his life.

Y'all cute

Me rn: 😭🥺💖😷💞🏳️‍🌈😭

“Neglectful parents are not chill,” Max’s dad pointed out seriously.

They are not

Leviathan hasn't tried to do some shit so far so-

MAX AND MAGNUS' TENSION IS VISIBLE FROM A MILE AWAY Y'ALL I'LL SHOVE YOU IN A ROOM AND LOCK IT

THE LETTER

SMH it's in french

OH SHE WANTS TO MEET

Do you want to still go?

She looked small – smaller than usual.

Clary I love you but jsbsjgsishs

Max you want some gay romcoms then?

Rafe not the best timing

I love them so much

Oh hi Magnus

MAX I'VE CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP ALMOST EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK TOO OMG

Sorry carry on

Omg Magnus is letting them stay in his loft their

I too want to stay in Magnus' loft in Paris. What if I made y'all food?

Take me with you

YAY WE'RE GOING TO PARIS

“You can’t go to Paris without me!” Max scoffed. “You think you can abandon me for three fucking days? I’ll get blue balls. The metaphorical ones. Not the real ones. Obviously.”

MAX SJSGISHSUSHS

Oh wait I misses smth

A blue portal appeared, and Max stepped out. He walked over to his father and kissed him on the cheek.

“Rafe told me to give you that,” Max pointed out.

😭😭

My grandma made me tea 🥺

Mamma I love you and your food but ammi's chai wins 😔

Dude flights are fun

Take a flight

LET'S DELAY THE HELL OUT OF THIS SHIT

Sorry too much?

“I’ll have to get a second job to afford him, aren’t I?” David asked with a chuckle.

My future partner is going to be uttering those words one day

Aww now I will be imagining them all at Paris Disneyland 🥺🥺

Take Chopin with you

OMG DAVID GIVING THEM INSTRUCTIONS-

He's 😭😭

They grow up so far

YOU WERE 10 SIX MONTHS AGO

Wait 5 months-

His father was sitting in the institute office, his chin propped up by both hands, watching David with a dopey look.

Same Jace same

HEY LISTEN WE MAY BE SHORT-

Whatever name you choose for yourself, you'll define it and give it meaning. Not the other way around. Whichever you choose you'll always be David

BABY DID YOU GROW MORE?????

I'm a full foot shorted-

“Tweet them on Instagram!”

Yup...totally Jace

Max is me when I'm going somewhere

On my first school trip in grade 6 I had the biggest bag ever

I was going for one day...

But I also had tons of snacks and extra cloths so who's the real winner here

We over packers like to be prepared don't judge us

David smiled at that and kissed his cheek. “Thank you for coming with me.”

“You know I love coming with you,” Max said sweetly.

MAX I AM VERY SICK MY LAUGH LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE A DEMON

Why...why do you have cameras there...

That is very very creepy

I love airports

Is that weird? Probably

"I already have three parents. If I get one more, I am suing."

KABUDGDOSNBSHD

LMAO LEON-

Y'all should go meet him 🤭🤭

The sky...

It's beautiful...

Dude-

The way they care for each other...

BABY!!!!

Omg he's good with children

This man is perfect

I literally did not understand a single french thing and I'm too lazy to google so-

AWW IT'S THE THING MAGNUS DID FOR RAFE

OMG

That's so 🥺🥺

Ooo baby with the sight

MAVID WITH A CHILD IS SO CUTE I WILL LITERALLY PASS AWAY

The loft seems amazing

MAGNUS PLAYS THE PIANO?

Aww the beret 😭

Okay I'm going to the roof

Literally everything about them in Paris so far is so amazing I could cry

I DID A FUCKING TWIRL AND SQUEELED THESE TWO

Albert hadn't...let him go out...

Fucking bastard

FUCK

The nexklace

Fuck

LEVIATHAN FFS HES IN THE SHOWER-

“Like father, like son, eh?”

Oh fuck no

Oh

Oh the seashell

Listen it's a nice thought but love doesn't last forever

Nothing does.

Shit that was bad-

Uh I mean DAVID DONT TAKE IR

I can write a whole essay as to why you SHOULD NOT

THIS BITCH DID NOT JUST CONPARE HIMSELF TO ALEC WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

Want to rephrase my earlier point.

I don't believe in two immortals loving each other forever and the whole shit

Well to be fair I don't even believe in loving someone for a lifetime so I'm not the right person for this

It doesn't make sense. Feelings are fickle.

Ok anyway

Leviathan you're wrong

Fuck off

David talk about this with max

Please

French accents are hot though

But latin 😔😔

“I’m having a hard time finding something you are not turned on by,” David rolled his eyes.

“I’ll show you a hard time,” Max grinned wickedly.

MAX BSKSHSOSJHSISHS

Oof my brother is learning how to skate. That bitch got his balance in the first day and I fell on my face with three people helping me

My aunt has not stopped laughing

Wait I'll be back

I'm helping my brother learning how to skate

GORGEOUS GABRIEL

HSKSGOAJSVSIBD

I mean where's the lie 🧐

Omg David is jealous

“Mega-hot is when you are so hot that people literally pass out when they see you naked for the first time.”

LMAO MAX-

Oh Coraline can't meet

I think she's gonna be the lady from the flight

Because of the title

HOW IS MY BROTHER SKATING SO WELL ALREADY

WHY ARE THE MEN FOLLOWING HER???

Who's this girl...

She's good at fighting

The girl's eyes are like David's 🤔

Hmm

David knowing the meanings that's hot

Who was this girl...

“You never have to be jealous,” he heard Max whisper, the warlock’s back to his chest. “You’re all that I know. You’re all that I love.”

I AM ON THW ROOF PEOPLE ARE GETTING CONCERNED

Oof bestie talk to him about that-

AWW HE FELL ASLEEP

Omg Jackson

They need showers....?

I know you love him very much. But this power doesn’t affect him. It affects you. Your body. Your life. Max doesn’t get a say in what you decided about this.

“I know,” David whispered.

He won’t hate you for it if that’s what you are worried about.

“How do you know?” David asked.

Because you are impossible to hate.

TRUE ASF

David whatever you choose...it's going to be your choice, your power

You could do anything and max would love you

Percy Jackson is better than harry Potter in ever way

wouldn’t blame Max if he wanted you to be immortal. The world is a better place with people like you in it.

Yes. We need more people like you

Is max...is max having nightmares from the time Magnus took his magic...?

I stopped walking and stood there gaping

He's playing the piano...

Omg max...

Max didn’t answer. He simply moved under David’s arm and sat down on his lap, straddling him with legs. He drew David closer and wrapped his arms around him tightly.

David leaned down and rested his head on Max’s shoulder.

“Keep playing,” Max whispered.

“I can’t see the keys, angel,” David whispered back.

“We both know you don’t need to see the keys to play,” Max pointed out.

David smiled at that.

Max tightened his arms around David’s back and laid a soft wet kiss on his bare chest.

“Keep playing,” he whispered. “I’ll hold you.”

I'm in mavid feels no one touch me

😭😭😭

CORALINE IS HERE??

How did she get the address???

“Should I ask her to come in?” Max asked, pointing at the door.

“Max! I am in my boxers!”

“Ah. Right. We have a relaxed clothing policy at home so,” Max said casually. “Cool. Go get changed. I’ll keep her company till then.”

SMH max 😭😭

AWW THE PASSWORD IS MAX'S DATE OF BIRTH

“Then I will throw her into the Seine,” Max replied.

I'll help

“If she doesn’t like you, then it’s her loss,” Max said then. “There are so many people in the world who like you – who fucking love you. I’m one of those people. So, if this goes to shit, then you just come back to me. I’ll be there to remind you what love feels like.”

Omg- ❤️🥺😭

David I also love you very much and if Coraline is a little shit well then I have knives

Omg she's pretty

“I’m gay,” David said – because wanted to get it all out before any of it could blow up in his face.

“Hello, gay,” she said. “I’m Coraline.”

I CHOKED MA'AM-

Wait I need to go fuck. I'll be back

Ok I'm back

Oh she's a child psychologist

I wanna be a child psychologist

Actually i wanna work with teens

THE RESIDENT WHO ESCAPED WAS THE GIRL WASN'T IT??

MALLORY

Oh...

Oh that's why

“Too much love can be a bad thing sometimes,” David pointed out.

Yeah...

She thought he'd be safe there I...

Bonding over trauma yess 😍😍

I mean uh-

Albert deserved so much worse

“I can’t hate you because I did the same thing. I left my family because my family wasn’t safe for me anymore.”

Sometimes, walking out is the best thing.

“It takes a lot of strength to look at yourself and say you deserve better,” David whispered. “I’m proud of you for doing that.”

Yeah.

Coraline seems really fucking cool

“Very angelic,” David chuckled at his own joke.

Yes...that they are

AYYYY SHE BI

Or omni, or pan

AYYY SHE MSPEC

Max summoning food 🥺

Alexander...

Dude his middle name is Alexander...

OH MY GOD HE'S NAMED AFTER ALEC IM ACTUALLY GONNA CRY

David Alexander Beauchamp

It's pretty

“I saw him for the first time when the shadow world was battling Valentine,” the woman said, her voice distant. “We were in the Accords Hall. He kissed a warlock, a male warlock, in front of the entire Clave! It is still the most scandalous and bravest thing I have ever seen.”

David laughed at that.

“I remember thinking that I want to be loved like that,” she whispered then. “I wanted someone who would love me fearlessly and unashamedly.”

David bit his lip. He squeezed her hand.

“I didn’t get that. But I wanted that for you. So, I named you after him,” she smiled. “I wanted to name you after something good. After someone good. I hoped you would hold onto that goodness. It seems me to like you did.”

The day's been a rollercoaster and this is the best thing to happen today I...

She named him after Alec 😭😭

“Hold on,” she said, and her eyes lit up. “You are dating a boy and a warlock and Alec Lightwood’s son?”

David nodded.

Coraline threw her head back in loud laughter. “Albert must be rolling in his grave!”

BSKSGSOSNSJ THIS IS SUCH A FUCK YOU TO ALBERT

“Stop being nice and show her how crazy you are,” David had said.

NSHDGOSBSUD THESE TWO

Omg Chopin is a music something???

That's so...

Omg

Wait what's the nipple thing

Oh max...come here lemme hug you first

Oh shit the seashell

“I want you to keep it,” David whispered. “In case…In case you need it in the future.”

Max blinked in confusion.

“If you meet someone else,” David managed a smile. “Someone who is ready to spend forever with you.”

SCREAMING CRYING SHAKING

Every noise I make sounds like a fucking demon my throat is not okay

“You don’t have to love them as much as you love me,” David said gently. “Love them as much as you can and hope that’s enough.”

Yes...

Max ily

HE GOT A FUCKING TATTOO????

“Because I love you,” Max said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. “I know…I know marks are important for shadowhunters. I know I can’t bear them. So, I got this one for you.”

“For me,” David echoed.

I'm so...

I love their love

What's ayan?

My brother's friend is named ayan

Omg...

Ayan...it means love now

AYAN MEANS LOVE NOW EVERYONE SHUT UP

“There weren’t any words that were good enough for you,” Max said softly. “So, I made one up.”

Oh my god their love

Omg the family ring

I'm gonna cry

He gave it to max...

WDYM THIS IS THE TIME WE GET HIS POV

I miss him already this is not normal behavior

Watch me as I live blog your live blog. My favorite lines (so iconic btw):

I too would also get kidnapped by a prince of hell to get closer to Alec 😔😔

Mamma I love you and your food but ammi's chai wins

They grow up so far. YOU WERE 10 SIX MONTHS AGO. Wait 5 months. (this made me fucking emo thanks)

LEVIATHAN FFS HES IN THE SHOWER

THIS BITCH DID NOT JUST COMPARE HIMSELF TO ALEC WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

Feelings are fickle.

Percy Jackson is better than harry Potter in ever way (AMEN)

Bonding over trauma yess 😍😍

PS - Chopin is a classical musician, you uncultured swine (affectionate - but with a lil frustration).

He was known for many of his romantic pieces. I love his music and thought David would too :)

This is the piece Coraline played for him x

[tyunni]

HIIII MAY!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 omg i missed you sm. after my break i was gonna reply to you but then it turned out that i was just even more busy with school and everything :/ but how have your holidays been??

yeah no i totally get it. kids sometimes high key annoy me too but then my baby fever just makes my love for them go 📈📈

oooh now you make me wanna travel again and visit georgia 😭 only if it wasn’t for covid 😔🙄,,, and the fact that i’m broke SKSJSJDJ ik you said you don’t know much yourself but if i ever do visit,, do you have any places you recommend to go or sightsee? and oh naur what makes it so bad about living there? 🥺

pLS can you like,, tag me in your cb post or smth? i don’t wanna miss it skdjskjd or do you have a taglist that i can be added to? skdjskdj

ASLHFLAKJSHF ITS OKAY DWDWDW i understand we all got stuff going on HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO <333

and tbh i agree on the baby fever part. i love children but theyre literally so annoying- the thing is that no matter how much my niece annoys me SHE'S JUST SO CUTE THAT I CANT GET MAD AT HER AND IT'S SO WEIRD OH MY GOD ig its just how children are

the thing is like... i don't really like sightseeings in general - i say that like I've visited countless of countries when i haven't left Georgia at all - the things you can see here are mostly religious stuff, we're Christians specifically orthodox (as in most of the population is) and have been since the fourth century so most of the sightseeings here are based on that. so if you're into that stuff then georgia is definitely a good place for you to look at, people here are VERY religious. now i haven't really been outside of the capital city which is where i live, but i have been to quite a few places cuz my dad drags me and my family to road trips and stuff, and to be honest, some of the most memorable places - well at least to me - were the old castles that were built and have been standing for centuries now. also one of the skulls of the very first humans that have walked on earth are found in Dmanisi which is a town in Georgia so that's a place you can visit, we have a museum and everything. you can also visit Vardzia (search it up it looks rlly cool I've been there it's really pretty), etc etc. we also have house-museums of famous georgian writers here, not to flex but i'm gonna flex haha one of them is my grandpa. so yeah we have a lot of stuff, nothing specific i can recommend since we have basically everything one would like to see. from great scenery to great food and places that represent our culture quite well. NFLKJDANFKJA BUT LIKE LIVING HERE IS SO HORRIBLE. since i said people here are... quite religious... there's a lot of homophobia AND I MEAN A LOT. TW: death and physical violence. during pride month (which isn't even a month here its just a week...) a lot of people - some who weren't even part of LGBTQ+ - were injured, beat up and one of the reporters who was filming the scenes even passed away due to his severe injuries. the government is REALLY fucked up, the country is split into two cuz of politics... it's just a lot. can't wait to leave this place tbh-

AND I DO HAVE A PERMANENT TAGLIST SO IG THAT'S SOMETHING U CAN FILL OUT IF U WANNA but i will mention u on my post nonetheless since you asked me to fjndslkjgns also ignore the lack of emojis since i always seem to use them im just on my laptop and can't be bothered to copy and paste them

[moonlightperseus]

me being a casual anon: tell me about your tog powers au i love that idea

okay i also got a very kind anon who asked about this au so i’m gonna be responding to both of you here, and i would like to just take a moment to thank you both for the asks, im BIG heart emoji @ both of you (i’m on my laptop so just picture a big ol’ (purple) heart emoji)

okay so i have to give some credit to @nilefreemans​ bc kayla was the one who got me thinking about this and has encouraged me as i’ve gotten very carried away with it.

okay so im personally setting this as a canon divergent au, they’re still immortals, and for the most part this goes in hand with the canon events of the movie (although i am tempted to make an au of my au where i go off book but for now we’re sticking with canon events... just with a twist). so they’re immortals but they also each have unique powers, that are unlocked alongside their immortality with their first death (though the powers might not always present themselves right away). i think for the most part i’ve decided that their powers remain even when their immortality ends, but i haven’t done anything concrete with that yet.

(gonna continue below the cut with the list of everyone’s powers because this got... long)

Andy has enhanced senses; sight/sound/touch/smell/taste, but also a sixth sense in the manner similar to that of spiderman’s “spider-sense.” She might also have enhanced strength, although I’m still figuring if I want her to have that or something else, or just the enhanced senses thing. 

Quynh has trajectory manipulation, kind of in a sense of very mild telekinesis- though her skill with a bow is 100% her own and if you ever suggest otherwise you will be subjecting yourself to be shot with an arrow- she mainly uses her abilities for the purpose of manipulating the trajectory of weapons being used against her or her allies. However this ability is especially dependent on concentration, and the larger the object or the more things she is trying to manipulate the more concentration she requires. Unclear if the five hundred years under the ocean has any effect on her ability to use her powers. Guess I’ll have to think about that.

Joe can create and control illusions, his powers are best described as magical. He likes to use his powers to bring smiles to peoples faces, rather than torment them, his speciality is bringing his art to life, or enhancing storytelling. He is powerful in his abilities on his own, and is perfectly capable of using them for less pleasant purposes, but when he and Nicky work together, their powers compliment and increase the strength of each other. 

Nicky has telepathic abilities that allow him to read others thoughts and project his own, his powers also allow him to “push” people to do things, (essentially mild mind control) but he hates this ability, and after he first discovered this ability, he swore to himself to only ever use it in extremely dire circumstances, (and only for the protection of others) so, while he is powerful and well in control of his telepathy, the “pushing” of others is a more difficult thing for him because he almost never uses it. 

Booker has precognition abilities - however he is the least controlled in his powers out of the immortals, and his abilities mainly manifest themselves in the grotesque manner of tragedy based visions. because his visions first manifested in showing him tragedies, he never made much of an effort to explore his abilities, which leaves his powers to be a bit of a mysterious component. The visions can come at any time, however they tend be triggered by human contact. 

Nile can manipulate density, specifically her own, though perhaps in time she might be able to expand it outside of her own personal density. I am still figuring out the exact details of her powers but I know I at least want her to be able to become intangible (like marvel’s Kitty Pryde), though I am leaning towards full personal density control, so that she can phase/become intangible, but also in reverse, increase her density (like DC’s Anissa Pierce/Thunder). 

so yeah, that’s their powers as of right now. as far as writing for this au goes, i have three different drabble scenarios written/in the progress of being writing. one is of early days joe & nicky and them learning their powers (specifically joe’s.) the next is a scene set during nicky & joe’s capture in the lab. and the third is a scene from nile’s POV, which i think i want to make a little uhh ficlet about moments where nile slowly learning about their powers and her own. (possibly because andy forgot to mention that in addition to immortality they also had powers, and then it was just.. never gotten around to being mentioned with everything that went down and nile is just... a little confused.)
