For good luck
Two leaders leave their partners to go to battle - not without a token of their love though
or to put it less dramatically, you give Choji and Ume something for good luck before a fight (separately)
SFW anddddd no other warnings ig
Characters: Umemiya Hajime, Choji Tomiyama
Tomiyama Choji
You're holding two cards left in this UNO match and one happens to be a draw 4. Just as you're about to put in down on the pile, Togame walks into the room carrying Choji's jacket.
"Sorry to interrupt, but it's about time for that fight, Choji." He looks to you apologetically and your boyfriend looks at the clock on the wall.
"Uno," you place your second to last card down and he looks back to the pile.
"Again?" Choji whines drawing four into his now ten card pile. It isn't the first time this round you had him drawing stacks of cards. You think he might just be incredibly bad at the game given how often you win.
"When you get back, the color's green," you say faking grumpiness at the fact that he's leaving right before you secure victory.
"If I win can it be red?" he pouts and furrows his brow. It's his equivalent of puppy dog eyes that he pulls out at least once a day, so although he looks adorable, nose all scrunched in upset, you're used to this ploy. There is no mercy in UNO and he knows that.
"You know you're going to win, and no, it's green." His cheeks are puffed out like a hamster as he puts his jacket on, but his mood switches up and suddenly he's the trusted leader of Shishitoren, ready to lead his guys into their next brawl. He still silly and excited, your little lionheart, as he gets pumped up to fight, but he's a little more serious too. "Choji." Never one to want to interrupt when he's about to go all out, but knowing it wouldn't feel right to let him leave like this, you're standing, waiting for him to remember the small tradition you two began in the beginning of your relationship.
The first time you ever sent him off to a fight, you were so nervous even Choji could tell. He'd said you were really lucky, so if you squeezed him as hard as you could the luck would rub off on him like a charm. You weren't really lucky, but you knew he was practically unbeatable if what Togame told you was to be believed. It did also calm your nerves, so you elected to always send him off this way just in case.
"I almost forgot my hug!" He spins and runs into you, grabbing you in an embrace.
"Big squeeze!"
"Even bigger squeeeeze!" Stretching your words to prolong the hug, you both release the insanely tight holds you had on each other. He's out of the door before you can say anything else, Togame close behind.
Leaving the cards on the stage of the Ori you were playing on earlier, you decide to make a quick trip to the store for snacks. Surely they were gonna be hungry when they got back, right?
Umemiya Hajime
"I'll hold down the fort while you guys are gone," you say, not looking up from the song book. Your boyfriend is the last to leave after hearing there's a fight outside the Karaoke Bar on Keisei Street. Nakamura and his gang were surely already there taking care of whatever troublemakers showed up, but your Furin boys couldn't hear the word fight without running towards it.
"Babe," his voice is strained as he's ready to head out. "can you...y'know?"
"Can I what, Hajime?" You put on an unaffected act, but it's not one you can hold for long. He taps his cheek as he bends towards you, a little bashful now that you're actually looking his way. "What do I get in return for giving you all my hard-earned luck hm?"
"My everlasting love and affection princess," he says bending his knee in front of you in an equally regal display. He places a small kiss on your hand and sees you crack a smile despite your initial play of indifference.
"How could anyone pass up an offer like that," you giggle, giving your prince a good luck kiss on the corner of his mouth as by accident. "You'll get a full one after you're back and in one piece," a hint of warning in your voice as you send him off. You hate when he comes back hurt, even if he says it's not that bad and that you really should see the other guy. A heavy sigh leaves you as you're left alone for whatever amount of time it takes for your boys to return from battle.
Once they're back, more people than had initially left showed up. It seems some of the Roppo-ichiza group heard there was karaoke and decided to tag along dragging some new faces into the room, not that you mind. Umemiya pops in while everyone is saying their hellos and takes his seat next to you again.
"You're back from war huh?"
"Yes ma'am! Can I collect my kisses now?" He's extra clingy, feeling bad that he left you alone for even a short while. You can see no one is really hurt from the fight save for a few bloody knuckles and swollen cheeks. Ume himself only has a small bruise on his jaw and small cuts on his hands. "Gotta heal you first," you say putting your lips to his knuckles, your intention to kiss every injury being made clearer the farther along you progress. What he doesn't know as you're distracting him is that you've queue'd up 'baby shark' on the karaoke tablet about 20 times as payback for leaving you by yourself.
#umemiya hajime x reader#choji tomiyama x reader#wind breaker#Someone wrote a fic a little bit ago about choji calling togame's partner his lucky charm but they used the japanese word for it#and it was so cute i wanted to write soemthing like that#i tried looking for it but i couldnt find it earlier today :(#also i do the squeeze hugs with people i love regardless if they squeeze hard back but its so fun when they DO put oomph into it#sorry all my stuff ends up silly thts just how i am#also my format for posting is sooo lazy but so am i#everyone always has such cute headers or pictures or colors#and im like here 'smacks macaroni art down on the table'

𝄞 — capitano, tartaglia/childe (gn afab reader) — ❝ you're both ours, don't complain. ❞
summary: you were a rather cute secretary that was under capitano, a well known, and mighty harbinger. walking in on your boss and the 11th harbinger having a duel, deciding to have a change of plans the moment you walked in.
a/n: i've been trying to write this for so long but prince kaeya had to come first 😔😔.. ok but i'm so sorry posting some thing later than usual schedule, school finally started and not that proud of my exam scores, writing is fr my only escape <;/3
warnings: nsfw, threesome, dom!capitano, dom!tartaglia/childe, sub!reader, pussy eating,
being capitano's secretary, doing groceries, helping him out with paperwork, is the usual, but every year, there comes a time where capitano gets into the mood, and need to take it out on something, or someone, whether it'd be stress, or sexual frustration. and you.. ohh you.. you were really just the cutie he needed.
tartaglia, the youngest of harbingers. you've met him before, what a pretty man! he was very much somewhat carefree, constantly asking every good fighter he meets for a spar. he always asked your boss to duel a ton too! you understand why though, capitano is quite strong, and big~
although, you definitely didn't know how tartaglia had convinced capitano into sparring with him. maybe he felt bad? oh well. but it was just a normal day, finishing up a bit of paperwork for capitano, wanting to see if they both had finished.
"hi sir! are you.. finished?" peaking through the door of the room, watching them both covered in sweat, tired from fighting, clothing almost torn off fully. getting flustered and apologizing till a huge hand grabs you by your waist
a husky voice whispers into your ears "stay. i believe i need help with a special something. actuslly me and my good friend, childe." pulling you back to the position him and tartaglia were in. "i- anything for you sir?" stammering over your words, yet confused, placing you on his lap, revealing what was under your skirt, nothing (lol), "dirty girl, wanting to be fucked so bad." he said taking off your shirt, chest being revealed, "oh, you must be so excited, already wet for us hm?" childe questions, slowly sinking his tongue into your pussy, licking your clit, as capitano's hands rub over your boobs. chulde lapping at your juices like it's his last meal, or beter yet his first meal in a long time, but it's true that he's never tasted something better than his cooking.
both of them pleasuring you, making you closer and closer to finishing, to reach your high. feeling a knot in your stomach, fonally breaking you cum all over childe's mouth, and he's glad to clean of your mess. "that feel good, cutie?" looking happier than ever, chukde wipes off any excess cum from his face, "i'm very sure my little secretary enjoyed it." capitano replied, he lifts you up so his cock can enter you, feeling his head, what if it.. it didn't fit? how is soemthing so big supossed to fit in your tight hole?
your ass is already so tired, and slowly you felt tartaglia put his cock in your mouth, making you slowly rock back and forth (indeed you are on all fours..), for hours on end. you fainted after they both finally released inside you, next thing you saw, you woke up in capitano's room, as he was reading something to you, "i'm sorry about last night.. we both brought you here, taetaglia would like to give you this." a little box of chocolates, jewelry, and a note that says "sorry for rearranging your insides, please accept this apology."

Oh? Love boners over getting their nails painted due to the loving casual intimacy?
That's so cute and endearing
Do you have any headcanons on who is most likely? I wonder who feels embarrassed or who might try to see where things go.
I agree that riddle, deuce and Idia would be the vibe for this one. I'm not sure for who else... Would love to hear who else you think would fit and the headcanons for them
I don't know if nail painting would necessarily be it for Jamil but I bet for Jamil his thing is a scalp/head massage and working out the knots and tension in his shoulders and neck. Lots of stress and physical work leave his muscles tense. Something about trusting you enough to let him relax and also the physical and emotional relief of touch and all that.
ITS SO SICKENING , , , soemthing about how carefully amd lovingly you're treating treating them , , , some of them aren't used to such care and it Shows akbsjdb 😭 genuinely i want to write a deuce thing where you make him jetk off with his painted nails its so aksbsjsb
I feel like Idia would be the most likely to get a love boner while ur painting his nails simple because he isn't used to the warmth of another person Period . and here you are, holding his hands so reverently, stroking over his fingers as you file down his nails??? he wasn't prepared for such a difficult battle so soon in the relationship (its been 8 months and you've already had sex). you really do have to be stern with him a bit so he keeps his hands still though- he fidgets with his najls a lot so its gonna be difficult if you want him to stay still long enough to get even coats on his nails QWQ
Deuce and riddle obvs get love boners as well, but neither of them will admit it because its so embarrassing aksbjs. ur not even touching them sexually and yet...deuce would be the most likely to accidentally expose himself but its up to you whether or not you'll take him right then and there , , , he's willing to wait until you're done but he'll refuse to look at you lest he get tempted 😭😭😭. he respects your work <3
lowk i think ace would get one too akbdsKEHSH. he's only had one gf in the past and even then it wasnt a steady one. he's not Nearly as used to this level of intimacy, despite what he tells the other first years ;( he 100% snarks about how this is a weird way of holding his hand but when you're solely focused on getting the heart motif Just Right he gets a half chub 😭 it's not his fault!! you just look so focused and you're touching his hands and he wishes so badly you were focused on something else 😭. will try to instigate things and will succeed depending on how firm you are/how badly you want to finish the set 😭😭
and agreeee <3 jamil doesnt care much for nail polish besides keeping his nails neat but the feeling of ur nails scratching his scalp is <33 acrylics are rlly fun for that tbh!! he's not used to someone else doing things for him or anything like that, so he treasures the time you soend together, esp when you massage his sore muscles and let him talk shit <33

Ghost's Romance May, Day 31 Prompt- Future @ghostsfanficevents
It wasn't unusual for Sally and Paul to watch Estelle for them since neither of them were able to be home all the time. Paul because he was a teacher and Sally because of her writing and having to do meetings to help with improving the environment.
And so, when they had asked Percy and Annabeth if they could please watch her today because they'd like to go on a date they had agreed easily. After all, they loved the little girl who beamed so happily, who should never have to worry about her future or the fear of being eaten by monsters so long as she had them to protect her.
So when Estelle had asked if they could go on a walk, they had no reason to say no to her. Percy simply gave her a piggy-back ride as he and Annabeth walked through the city, towards an ice-cream shop that was nice, especially since summer was right around the corner and it had begun to heat up in the city. This was a normal thing for them, whenver Percy and Annabeth had to watch Estelle. Depending on the time of the year they would go out to get ice-cream or go to an aquariam or soemthing else. It was normal.
What was not normal was being stopped by and older lady who remarked on how adorable Estelle was, actually-no, that wasn't the strange part. What was the strange part was her saying "Oh, what a cute daughter you have! Best you treasure these days when they're young. The grow up so quickly, you know?" before walking away. Leaving both Percy and Annabeth a bright shade of red as they looked at each other.
They both tried to brush it off, and they did for a time until on their way back to the apartment after getting ice-cream a man with a camera was offering to take pictures of families, and he called out to them, "You there! Family of three, how would you like to get a picture with your daughter? Immortalize this time?"
The blush came back in full force this time as Percy explained that she wasn't their daughter but his younger sister and they were watching her for the day, the man had remarked on how much they looked like a family but still offered them a picture, "You're still family, aren't you? Parents and child, siblings. Family all the same. Now come, I will give you a picture."
At the insistence they agreed and after being handed the picture made their way back home quick. Paul and Sally were back by then but Percy and Annabeth didn't really acknowledge that outside of handing Estelle back to them before going to sit on the couch.
Neither of them were quite sure how to begin the conversation so Percy just went straight into it, "Do you, ever want to have kids with me, Wise Girl?"
The blush had seemingly become a permanent fixture on both their faces as Annabeth linked their hands together, "One day. I think I'd like to have kids with you. Not now though, not while everything is just beginning to stabilize once more."
He nodded, "I'd like to have kids with you one day too. But before that, I agree. Right now is still too unstable."

hey ! could you please write a bree van de kamp x reader fic set sometime during season 2 when bree was struggling with drinking, andrew, her mental health etc etc. basically the reader keeps trying to help bree through her stuff and at some point they get in a fight over this because obviously bree doesn’t like people seeing through her/seeing her vulnerable. during the fight bree angrily asks soemthing along the lines of “why are you so determined to help me ?” and the reader accidentally yells “because i’m in love with you” this should be followed with angst maybe they don’t talk for a while idk it’s up to you anyway they make up when bree goes to the reader and confesses her love as well then some cute fluffy maybe even slightly nfsw things ensue. I imagine this as a longer fic but write this in any length you prefer I’d just be happy to see this idea come to life hahah
This is going to be interesting lol
Summary: you just read it up above.
*********************************************************************
Bree Van de Kamp, the most successful and put together woman on Wysteria lane, she had the house, the cars, the husband, and the kids, she had the life everyone wanted. Well up until a few weeks ago that is, now she stood eyes glazed over staring out the window from her kitchen, a glass bottle in her hand she lifted it to her lips again and tears started to fall, ahe lowered it, her ring clinking against the side, she looked down at the now forgotten wedding band. she turned it against her finger before setting the bottle down and fully sliding it off, she tuened it over in her fingers, a tear ran down her face not because she lost the man she loved but because she lost eveything. She stuck by his side when they were having marrige issues, he even cheated on her and she stayed with him, but her world started to unravel when news got out, and then the Solice's and their mother that andrew hit and everything with her daughter, it was all to much. Then Rex had the nerve to die and leave her here to deal with it all.
She looked at the ring one more time before throwing it across the room, it hit the wall and fell, then she took the gods on the counter and chucked it as well letting it shattered strong the ring, what she didn’t know was you were at the front door and heard the crash rushing in you found her reaching for the bottle.
“Bree?” You called making her face you.
“Oh god what do you want?”
“What’s going on?”
“why would you care?”
“because I do, I care about you, I came over to check in with you, make sure you’re holding up okay.”
“Holding up okay… that’s one way to put it.”
“Bree…”
“God Y/N what the hell do you want from me,” you had hurt in your eyes but quickly hardened you exterior as this was going to be rough, “I’m not one of your little basket cases you know, I’m fine on my own.” She started to raise her voice but you stayed stone cold.
“says the woman that reeks of alcohol and probably hasn’t showered in two days.”
“You have no right.” She snapped at you.
“No you have no right, I’m only here to help you.”
“Like I said I’m fine on my own, I was before you and I will be after you.”
“so this is what you call fine?”
“fuck you Y/N… you know what this is me being fine, I just lost my husband, and my son is gay what more could I go through… honestly everyone always wants me to be miss perfect but I’m not, and you sending the other three musketeers over to have an “intervention” are you kidding get out of my face.”
“no I won’t leave you and a crew them, I never asked them for anything, I never told them anything.”
“then tell me, why?… why are you so determined to help me.” She said waving her arms voice raised.
“Because Bree Van de Kamp I love you, I’m in love with you!” You yelled before you could think.
She stood there staring at you dumbfounded and you realized what you said, “Y/N”
“No you know what I’m gonna go… we both need some space to cool off so I’m gonna go.” You tuned and left her there just staring at you.
———time jump———
3 days later and you heard a knock at your door, “come on in it’s open!” You yelled out as you were in the living room, working on your laptop, you heard the door open and soft fragile foot steps come towards the room.
“Y/N?” You heard a gentle voice call to you, a smooth voice that’s been tainted with some rasp from crying.
You turned being met with Bree staring back at you the gorgeous redhead that you had accidentally confessed your feelings to and then ran out, way to drop a bomb there Y/N. “Um… Bree hey um…”
“Can we talk?”
“oh yea ignore the laptop, join me.” You folded the computer and quickly placed it in front of you while patting the couch for her to join you. She delicately sat next to you not making eye contact, you gave her the floor to speak and waited.
“Uhumm I’m not sure how to say this so here goes, you know how they say you don’t know you’ve lost something until you need it the most?”
“Yea.”
“We’ll that’s you or at least for me, the other night I finally understood why I was so mad at myself for wearing that stupid ring and it was because it kept me from you, from day one with everything I felt different around you, I always wanted to be with you and had you on my mind… I guess what I’m trying to say is that without knowing it I’ve been in love with you this whole time.” She turned to you with tears in her eyes, you didn’t know what to say so you held out your arms and she leaned into you, you wrapped her in your arms and just held her. When you finally pulled apart she asked you a question that burned in her, “so does this mean I can kiss you now, I’m not sure what to do?”
“baby you can do a lot more than just kiss me.” You smirked as she made contact with your lips, you deepened the kiss, running your hand down her side as you laid her back on the couch she arched into you as your lips collided and bodies pressed into each other. You pulled away laying foreheads together allowing you to catch your breath, “Are you sure about this?”
“Y/N I’m not sure about anything anymore.”
“We don’t have to go any farther we can take it slow.”
“No I’ve taken this… us too slow, I need you.”
you pulled back your eyes gazing into hers and seeing the deep emotions swirling behind those blue orbs, you leaned down kissing her again before getting off and pulling her up with you. “Please, Y/N I…”
“Not here… I’m not going to let the first time I’m with the woman I love be in my living room couch.” There was a silence as her mouth gaped and then closed behind you as she followed you upstairs, you slowly opened the door to your bedroom and she stepped in, she nervously stood inside as you came up behind her and ran your hands over her shoulders and down her sides placing kisses gently she turned in your arms and you continued kissing down her neck. You quickly worked to undress each other until she was in a matching set of bras and panties and you stood in your bra and pants, she slowly undid the button sliding them down to the floor and kneeling before you, she slowly stood before you as you looked down at her, you lifted her chin placing a kiss on her lips as she wrapped her arms around you.
you quickly hoisted her up wrapping her legs around your waist continuing the kisses, you walked over and slowly placed her on the bed. You kissed down her body teasing her by kissing her thighs down the outside and then up the inner thigh. You spent your night like that learning each others bodies and in the morning you awoke.
You thought it was all a dream until you realized a familiar weight draped across your torso red hair splayed across your chest as she rested on you, your breathing in sync your legs tangled together under dark satin sheets cool against the exposed skin.
So it wasn’t all a dream.

Friends as in actual friends or music notes-friends???? If it was the first one... that's a huge information, compared to what we know about present Tsukasa..... past Tsukasa is a huge deal for real. I was confused about what Amane noted in ch 101 about "Tsukasa's classmates looking for him" ... but maybe it's actually true.....?
Oooooooooooh!!!!!!!! Cute... cute.. cuteeeeeeee!!!! he just loves little brother too much... how sweet.... maybe he also feels... jealous of those 'freinds'? hey... am I still your big bro, lil bro?
That's... uh..... what's my fiction Tsukasa doing here? I usually tend to write him this way... so cool to see him like this in canon too! you love to see a little bit of a tease little brother!!!
hmmmm..... casually stating facts.... love his expression... it sounds as if he is just stating a matter of fact using.. yes! his sing-song voice. ehhhhh...... anyway.....
cute... lovely... sweet... amazing... adorable... everythig!!!
.
He means this! he was talking about music notes-friends all along..........
Now, that we know Amane is not a good singer....
Yup, that makes sense! let me hear your voice "Mr. Not tone deaf"!!!!! pleaseeeee!!!!
Ehh... Tsu said this right? ........ wow. kind of smug. cool to see him the one going like this... I want more of him this way. past Tsu is really soemthing..... ooooooh..... Though, it all sounds like a misunderstanding on their sides... that ended up creating a funny little situation! Why should it be inside that clock though.... the location.. eh... whatever... it's cool to see them!!! That's what matters!!!
#first reaction#i'm almost sure i will be looking at this thing all night#fianllyyyyyyy... more of themmm!!!!#it's really lovely.. together with that one about movie theater!!!!#Tsu really has a thing for these things.... lovely little artist#I need more of these 2 chilling out like this!!!#maybe next time we'll see them playing some kind of game(we kind of saw this last valentine AUwith their little bet)? drawing/reading maybe#too exciting!

light up the dark [XIII] - Leo Valdez x reader
wc: 2k
genre: drama, minor angst, action
warnings: minor Leo self loathing, Leo crying </3, questionable and obscure mythology usage, generally sketchy at best plotting (this outline is very old), Leo looks really fucking pretty in the snow
summary: Leo gets something important off his chest, then chases after you to make ammends. When he looks for you, he's met with soemthing entirely different than he expected, and way more than he bargained for.
song recs: pretty when you cry - lana del rey, meant to be yours - heathers obc, wasteland baby - hozier, roll up - the struts
a/n: okay we're getting to the last few parts aka where the outline gets questionable as fuck but the whole thing is hinged on the questionable parts so there's really not a way for me to change anything at this point we're all just along for the ride!! also this chapter (and maybe the next/last couple) will probably be on the shorter side bc I wasn't sure how much outline I would need to actually make a chapter so I undershot a little. the second reason is I'm burnt out lol. anyway enjoy!!
@yesv01 @magcon7280 @avashaye @perseajohnson @afidiofobia @thatmultifandomloser @yelenabel0vaswife @almostjollypizza @Fictionalcomforts @lizziebitch33 @jacksondeeznuts @girlfriendwhoseawitch @urmum-xoxo @Asunnyhunny @dustyinkpages @cowboylikekelsey @legramilis @youkissedareaderinthedark @mrscarolscaramoucheplease @cosmiq-cloud @anything-forourmoony @i-dont-remember-a-lot @chasingpj @1dpjohoohp @mystic-writings @babiesimagines @dreamerball @demirunner @if-only-i-was-fictional
It’s safely early morning now, and people are beginning to wake up. Throughout the different rooms in the house, blankets are flipped back and bedroom doors are opened, curtains are drawn, and groggy conversation is made over face wash and toothpaste and running water. After enough time wallowing in his self loathing, Leo gets up to look for you. Being petty like that only felt gratifying and justified for a few fleeting moments. After that he just felt bad. Like, really bad. He knew what he said was probably too harsh as soon as the words left his mouth and you bolted. Gods, why can't he just be a little more patient?
He bets that Jason never would have said something like that to you, yet here he is, screwing up again. He tugs on the rest of his clothes, ending with a hoodie for the unseasonably cold weather, and leaves to find you. As he descends the stairs, a gust of freezing air washes over him. He looks for the source, and sees the front door is ajar. Snowflakes blow in, along with a few small, downy feathers that look almost pink in the diffused morning light struggling to get through the heavy dark clouds that continue to roll in.
"Morning." He hears Jason's groggy voice behind him, "You're up early.” He turns around to see Piper standing next to him, yawning. They’re wearing matching pajamas, and have matching bed head. They’re so cute together it would make Leo a little sick on any other day. Jason's hair is sticking up in every direction, and he wipes the smudges off his glasses with the hem of his shirt. Leo hasn't seen his friends since last night, when they backed him up in front of Calypso - something he hadn't been expecting.
Just the sight of them brings back a highlight reel of all the things that they said - along with the rest of his friends - in his defense. That paired with how much he wishes he could see you right now, make sure you’re okay, is enough to have tears welling in the corners of his eyes. Sure, what he said might have been coming from feeling very justifiably upset at the way he’s been treated until now, but that’s not your fault. He shouldn’t have lashed out at you like he did.
“You okay?” Piper asks, a note of concern in her voice. He’s clearly not, and she wants to know why right now. He takes in a shaky breath and squeezes his eyes shut. After a few moments, he tells them what happened - or at least he tries to. He barely gets out about half the story before he stops, really not wanting to cry more than he feels like he’s about to. Jason and Piper share a look. It’s so early and they’re barely awake, but that’s not going to stop them from trying to help him. In their drowsy stupor, they hear the worst in his fumbled explanation.
They share a regretful look. What they piece together is really disappointing, but they can’t say they’re totally surprised. They definitely are disappointed, they were really starting to root for you - especially compared to Calypso. It’s not your quick wit or sharp tongue that surprises them, it’s that you directed it at Leo. They’re not sure exactly what words were exchanged, just that Leo is really hurting over this, which is the one thing they don’t want. To make things worse, he’s really worried about you. They hear footsteps behind them.
“What’s going on?” This time it’s Annabeth’s groggy morning voice, and she’s closely followed by Percy, who looks like he’d rather still be asleep.
“They got into a fight,” Jason says, trying to bring them up to speed - granted, he doesn’t have much more information than they do now. Leo lets out a frustrated sigh, trying to squeeze away his tears and pressing his hands into his face. He shakes his head before his eyes land back on the door. The wind blew it a little further open, and he can see your footprints make long, panicked strides in the growing snow on the ground.
“I-” he chuckles, weepily, “I have to go find her…” He’s already descending the stairs when his friends start to protest. It’s so early and they’re all barely awake, the last thing they want is for him to jump into something if they’re not awake enough to help him out yet.
“Wait,” Piper starts, “maybe you should stay here.”
“Yeah, maybe we should talk about this before you, you know, rush into anything.” Percy agrees.
“Or make a stupid decision for a manipulative bitch and get nothing in return.”
Everyone stops dead in their tracks as Calypso’s voice echoes through the hall. A collective sense of being found by the T-Rex in Jurassic Park passes over everyone, and the room stills. Only Calypso could make a room full of people with ADHD stand totally still.
“She’s gone. Good riddance.” Calypso says, without a sliver of concern in her voice. “I mean it was just a matter of time before that little whore finally showed her true colors, and-”
“FOR GODS’ SAKE CALYPSO! CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?! PLEASE?!”
The room falls silent again, and all eyes turn to Leo. He looks exhausted and exasperated and completely and utterly done. She stares at him, mouth agape, refusing to believe he’s talking to her like that.
“Excuse-” She starts, but before she can finish, he keeps going. He’s not going to let her steamroll him, not anymore.
“I mean, really! We can’t get through one goddamn day without you ruining something. Do you have to work at being like this?” He demands rhetorically, “Cause it seems like you must work pretty fucking hard to be so miserable all the time!”
No one could have ever predicted this. No one could have imagined that Leo would ever be the one to put Calypso in her place like this.
“I am not-”
“No, no, no! I don’t give a shit!” He roars with an exasperated laugh, “I don’t want to hear any more of your bullshit or whining or constant complaining! I’ve had enough. We’ve all had enough, so just…” He laughs, trailing off as he realizes that he’s never going to get through to her. His only option is to get away from her. Or, he supposes, get her away from him.
“Get out.”
It’s silent again. All the commotion brought the last few people out of their rooms, so Nico, Will, Frank, and Hazel all heard most of what he had to say. They all stand there in shock as Calypso spews some more bullshit about not needing to take this and storms back into her room, presumably to pack her shit and leave. There’s a sense of giddy elation when she leaves. They have been waiting so, so long for him to really be able to stand up to her, to refuse being treated as shitty as she treats him. Percy makes some sassy remark behind her, and Piper is the first to congratulate him. Or she would have been, if he had stuck around long enough to celebrate. Piper jogs half way down the stairs, getting a glimpse of his dark, curly hair contrasting sharply with the snow. He’s out of the door before she can call his name.
Leo barely registers how strange this whole snow storm is. It’s supposed to be spring, it should be ambiently warm with little flowers blooming, not look like a trailer for Frozen. In spite of how weird the weather is, he doesn’t care about that right now. He just wants to find you. He tracks through the snow rapidly accumulating on the ground, following your footprints until he loses track of them, getting lost or covered up by what is quickly turning into a blizzard. He shivers, pulling his jacket around himself tighter. He's a Houston boy, he's not prepared for all this wintery bullshit. He still loves snow, he thinks it's one of the prettiest, most magical things in the world, but it's not pretty when he’s worried about you being outside in it.
Finally, he sees a figure in dark clothes shrouded in the blindingly white snowy landscape standing at the edge of the yard. He runs over, calling your name. He continues trudging through the snow, and when he’s close enough you turn around. Except it’s not you he’s met with. He stops dead in his tracks, stomach dropping as he struggles to remember her name after so many years. After a moment he remembers.
“Khione?!” He demands. He’s about to ask what the fuck she’s doing here. Before he can, she steps closer, lifting his chin up with her finger.
“Well, well, well…” she says, and Leo’s surprised that he can hear her perfectly over the roaring wind of the storm. The storm she probably created, he realizes. “You are just as easy on the eyes as I remember you being.”
A sickening chill runs down his spine at her words. Before he can even think of a reaction, she continues.
“I’m sure you’re curious as to what brings me here.” She states, walking around him, eyes never leaving him. He feels like he’s being circled by a shark. “Well, you’re a smart boy, I’m sure you’ve heard the stories of how I got two gods to fall in love with me.”
He hasn’t, but now doesn’t seem like a good time to bring that up.
“Poseidon, I had wrapped around my finger.” She chuckles. “And Apollo…” The laughter evaporates, and her smile disappears, replaced by something more bitter.
“Apollo…” She stares into space, then her gaze hardens. “Apollo broke my heart.” She spits, turning away from him as she continues.
“I swore I would never love again, I’d never let myself be fooled by a beautiful man with warm eyes and charming smile. And then,” she whips around to him, her gaze dangerous. “You showed up.”
She walks closer to him, and Leo retreats a few steps on instinct.
“You showed up, and were tantalizingly close, almost in my grasp.” Her expression grows cold. “Then you rejected me.”
His stomach drops.
“I tried to talk some sense into Apollo, get him to see what he’s missing, but he’s too much of a fool to see the prize in front of him.” She spits before flashing another dangerous grin. “But I got my revenge on him, you can be sure of that. He stole my heart, I stole something of his right back.” Leo’s brow furrows, trying to piece together what her words really mean, trying to connect the dots between this and everything else that’s going on. She lets out a crazed chuckle.
“But I got my revenge.” She continues, getting even closer to him. She sizes him up, glowering at him predatorily. She chuckles darkly, and Leo sees something unhinged deep in her eyes starting to rise to the surface.
“And now, you will be my lover,” she laughs maniacally, “IN AN ETERNAL WINTER WASTELAND!”
Her laughter reverberates through the swirling snow, and Leo’s stomach drops. Chills creep over his skin, but it’s not just from the cold.
“Okay!” He yells over the howling wind, as thick snowflakes collect on his eyelashes. “You are seriously in-fucking-sane!” He’s not sure she can even hear him, but it doesn’t matter. He’s not letting her get away with this, he’s not going to let her turn the world into a giant snow globe forever. He pulls his arms away from being wrapped up tight around himself and holds out his hands. They’re stiff from the cold, but that doesn’t stop him from summoning two huge balls of fire. They engulf him all the way up to the elbows, thawing him out a little. He takes a deep breath, steadies himself, and prepares to fight. Or more specifically, kick her frigid ass.

I hate TikTok so much you have no idea how much I hate it they hear one little thing out of context and then they suddenly say it’s canon hurting like half of there own community because they hate queer black people for some god awful reason I don’t even know about the micro aggressions or the fact that people think HOBIE x miles is a proship I will say this once and I will say this again I will LIGIT clear everything on hobie having a canon age because he does not. And I’m tired of people on TikTok and anywhere else saying the same thing and I might change this into my second acc just for flowerpunk and I’ll actually put my name but I’m not gonna cause I don’t wanna have this turn into a big thing if they do confirm he’s over 18 but anyways I’m going to give all my points cause I think people see something and they automatically think it’s true
To the people saying he's 19/20 that was a director talking about his concept design and could be more based on the comics it's safe to assume that Sense another director said it's up for interpretation and Gwen said he's about her and miles age then he's most likely a teen below 18 and was aged Down for the movie and it's kinda obvious because he hangs around the teen squad don't litsen to the misinformation everyone is sayin as well as the clip that people are talking about is completely out of context and so I need you to all stop it!! I’m not even an adult and I despise pro shipping it’s one of the things that triggers me into things it’s weird and it’s weird your putting a silly ship into this horrible topic so many think it’s ok to put in because the age is unconfirmed half of you people just don’t like queer black people and I am one so for the love of god stop calling people proshippers when they view hobie as a kid!!!
Phil Lord who's also a director said it's up to interpretation/headcanon plus even likened him to Sex pistols who started off young. Alsp like I said the whole Gwen and Hobie implied/jokes about being together thing would be weird as f https://twitter.com/sillyabtspiders/status/1666405777009958913?t=ct4kf0PoYIeUHwsP3tsHDQ&s=19
Of course there’s the other video but again that is concept hobie and prowler hobie not even the hobie we See as well as HOBIE is Most likely aged down and based off teen hobie stop bringing it up because it doesn’t matter!!! I’m literally so upset with being called a proshipper and such and it’s actually really stupid that I have to fight on this because everyone other ship is fine except when there both black and queer it’s weird to how much people care and I’m so tired I’m so very tired of it. I literally cannot take it anymore it’s weird you people are just as weird I’m just so upset right now and by the way I’m writing you probably have already seen me post a bit on my main but it’s embarrassing how you all cling to one thing
I feel great comfurt in this ship I do with a lot of dynamics and I don’t even ship punkflower hard I just think it’s cute but the way you people look at soemthing and think “wow proshipper�� is insane because eTHATS NOT WHAT IT IS IM SORRY ITS NOT IT MAKES ME SO FRUSTRATED and I can’t tell if it’s cause I’m getting hyper fixated on this or what but I hate when this happens because wir causes so many people stress for no reason but your stupidity
Unless every single director comes out and says that HOBIE is older than 18 and not with Gwen and miles I will delete this and actually admit to it ok I’m not unreasonable I’m angry but that wouldn’t make sense because why would they tease romantic relationship as well as having hobie be with the minor coded charachters all the time
IM SO SORRY IF YOUR STRESSED BY THIS BECAUSE IM THE SAME I JUST FEEL LIKE WE WILL NEVER WIN and it’s so AKWARD I seriously hope that this whole situation gets cleared up and people will be able to ship and have there family dynamics and I’m sorry for anyone who doesn’t wanna see discourse just wanted to finally clear everything up because I know it stresses me out so I can’t imagine how other people feel

Heyyyy, it’s possible that I requested soemthing for your 1000 follower special but I just have another idea and maybe you’re interested in writing it?
One it’s the prompt “You’re such a cute couple.” “We are not a couple.” With Bucky.
It’s Bucky and Reader who are best friends and really close, and then someone says that and Bucky furrows and is like “we are not a couple.” But he didn’t see the changing expression on readers face because she is in love with him. And she excuses herself and didn’t talk much to Bucky then and tries to not be too close around him anymore. However he notices and tries to talk to her but she just says is nothing. But the cutie he is he gets her to talk to him, and she confesses her feelings? Of course, Bucky is in love with her too!
Heyyy
Thank you so much for sending me this request!
Yes, you're right you also requested a Yelena one shot. But because I loved this idea so much I wanted to write it first.
So here it is and I hope you like what I came up with!!💗
You can find your request here

Hello! And yes, you can have a (Romantic(If ok))match up exchange(Tho it may take a bit of time cause I am working on a one shot write now that im really happily about so far :))
For the Match up fandoms can I have Detroit(I recently made my way back into this fandom by the threads of being borde and Bryan dechart being a meme/adorable) and the Umbrella academy(Any season)
I will say, character I dont want 100 percent from detroit; Kara(She cute but no), Hank(he's just so...angry) and the obviouses(GavinAliceAmandaEtc) and umbrella academy; Luther and Sir Hargreeves..... thats it.
Im an Aquarius born, ISTP(Or INTJ...im confused cause I toke two test and got two different answers) who is panromantic(With a male lean) and uses any pronouns(but more commonly She/her by peers)
I enoy reading, writing, horror anything(im watching a series with my mom and it gets really gross and the only thing im getting grossed out by is the mud that one person falls into), I weirdly like being feared(there was a rumor around in a small friend group that i have major angre issues and none of them would step close to me(I do but only if really triggered))music(I mainly enjoy rock, heavy metal and grunge with a few goth sounds, but I do like a few pieces like Emotional waltz) I enjoy cooking and having been a help in the kitchen,I find it amusing when I get to learn soemthing new with or from people, I like photography and I do alot of drawing, and I love bugs.
I dont like mud(Like said before), loud crowds, crowed spaces, the sun, rude people, red meats, being put in the line light, and country music.
My personaly is very much a rubber ball; will and can bounce around unpredictabily(As a child I was diagnosed with being Bipolar and to have ADHD), but majorit of the time, I look like a man in his 30's that only drinks either whiskey or coffee(and so ive been told in the hot way(ngl)), im not one be patience with people that waste my time and I have not patience for people that waste my friends time, I am very loyal and I find I can be very protective of my friends and if they're being mistreated I do get angred by this(I wanted one person D*ad for using my best friend for her own fun), but under my scary(Not my words) appearence, im actually very nice and easy to talk to.
My aesthetic is mainly a grungy cottage core like look with a few really bring vintage marvel shirts I stoll from my dad.
When Im looking for a relationship, I want someone that can keep up with me, cause sometimes I can be very all over the place and sometimes I like to just drift along, I want someone that is willing to learn things from me while I can learn things from them, and I search for loyalty in someone, not just to their partner but to their friends as well.
Hope you have a great day/night and respond to you soon!
Your Detroit Become Human match is…
Markus
He also enjoys reading and maybe sometimes writing
Markus isn’t really into the whole horror thing
Violent Markus would totally understand if you like being feared
But pacifist Markus doesn’t really get it
He can cook, but would be very happy if you’d decide to join him
Doesn’t get why you don’t like mud, but doesn’t make any kind of deal out of it
Markus himself doesn’t like crowds so he gets you with this one
Is aware that you have ADHD and are Bipolar, but to be honest he doesn’t really give a fuck
Appreciate your loyalty as he knows he can count on you
Don’t worry, he can keep up with you very easily
Markus is willing to try and do new things so that one is check
He is also very loyal to you and would never cheat on you
Gets really protective of you as well considering there’s marching or revolution going on
He cares for you a lot, but wouldn’t spoil you
You’re Markus’s comfort person
The one he will come up to if he’s very desperate
Or needs an advice
Or just comfort
Your The Umbrella Academy match is…
Five Hargreeves
Watches the horror with you and chuckles at the fact that you’re only grossed when the person falls into the mud
Five gets the fact that you like to be feared ‘cause so does he
Man can’t cook for his life
Please teach him or help him with it
Makes sure that no-one is rude towards you
I mean no-one has a death wish here
Keeps you away from loud crowds and crowded spaces
Five also finds it both hot and amusing that you look like a man in his 30’s that only drinks wiskey and coffee
He seriously likes your attidute and loyalty
Oh, he does understand your overprotectivness of your friends and loved ones
He is ready to kill/scare anyone if they would hurt you
Keep up with you? You would need to keep up with him
Five seriously doesn’t mind teaching his love new things
You can’t really teach him much considering he knows how to do a lot of stuff already
Comes to you with his problems
He trusts you fully
Would never cheat on you
He spend most of his life alone and to destroy your relationship ‘cause of someone else seriously ain’t worth it
Five loves you a lot
Be ready ‘cause his siblings would tease you two about your relationship
Mainly Klaus

tldr; thea is a simp for jacaerys, amira you wonderful wonderful person you thank you and thank you to whoever requested this BECAUSE I DIDN'T??KNOW??I??NEEDED??IT????
• When it comes to you having nightmares, Jace would be extremely loving, understanding, and the most absolute sweet partner you could ever have.
i got such bad nightmares growing up so these types of writings always make me soft
• Even if he's a deep sleeper, the second he hears your quiet pleas and feels you constantly tossing around on your side of the bed, he'll immediatly wake up to check on you.
oh no... i hope im not having a nightmare that would be so bad 👀
so his arms will immediatly be wrapped around your body
i want
“Don't worry, my sweet love. I'm here to protect you from anything, Issa jorraelagon. You are safe with me.”
AMIRA DON'T MAKE ME JUMP THROUGH COMPUTER SCREEN AND PINCH YOUR CHEEKS RIGHT NOW
Jace will let you cry on his chest as much as you wish, until you feel like you can finally talk about your nightmare
bro is the older sibling so you know he'd always know what to do
and he will attentively hear every word you tell him
so you can listen to his comforting heartbeat
okay but listening to someone's heartbeat is genuinely one of the best things when you're stressed/upset
"Avy jorraelan, gevie ruklon. I won't allow anything to ever hurt you, my love. I will always protect you, no matter the situation.”
His honey-like scent is soothing, as well.
i would like to nominate this as jace smell confirmation i dont know why but it just makes sense
even if you don't understand a word of what he's saying
im sorry i laughed IT'S PROBABLY SO SWEET AND I LOVE IT but i can't stop imagining him just singing sweet home alabama or soemthing im sorry babe i swear im sorry
• And of course, quite leisurely, you fall into a deep slumber in his warm arms, with your head presses against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. After that, you had quite the sweet dreams. ♡
okay back to cuteness im soft now
Can you do 7 for jace but the reader wakes up with nightmares and jace calms her down
— ☆ amira speaks : so i made short headcanons for this because i wanted to write this but felt too lazy to write a one shot alsklslsk — prompt/scenario(s) : — 7. [character] wakes up breathing heavily from a nightmare, and you soothe them by bringing them to your chest, and whispering sweet things to their ear while your hand caresses their hair.
• When it comes to you having nightmares, Jace would be extremely loving, understanding, and the most absolute sweet partner you could ever have.
• Even if he's a deep sleeper, the second he hears your quiet pleas and feels you constantly tossing around on your side of the bed, he'll immediatly wake up to check on you.
• The sweet prince will be nervous as hell, and of course, he will do his best to try and softly wake you up, and comfort you. But, waking up is something you already did for yourself before he could try and shake you a bit, and much to his dismay, you woke up in the worst state possible; heavily breathing, and breaking down into tears.
• Of course, he will be tremendously worried at seeing you in such state; so his arms will immediatly be wrapped around your body, as he presses you tighter against his chest and lovingly caresses your hair while whispering sweet words.
“Don't worry, my sweet love. I'm here to protect you from anything, Issa jorraelagon. You are safe with me.”
• Jace will let you cry on his chest as much as you wish, until you feel like you can finally talk about your nightmare... if you feel comfortable talking about it, obviously. And when you can talk about the topic, his hand will be cupping and caressing your cheek the entire time.
• He's such a loving gentleman, and he will attentively hear every word you tell him, and will fully comfort you with every worry and insecurity.
• Afterwards, his hands will softly lean your body closer to his, and he'd tightly keep your head pressed to his chest so you can listen to his comforting heartbeat. One of his hand rubs your back, and the other one plays with those shiny, sweet-scented strands of hair of yours.
“Avy jorraelan, gevie ruklon. I won't allow anything to ever hurt you, my love. I will always protect you, no matter the situation.”
• Your arms are immediatly wrapped around his warm body, as Jace places his chin on top of your head, and whispers all sweet things to you to make you truly feel secured and love. His honey-like scent is soothing, as well.
• To calm you down, he'd probably hum/sing a song in High Valyrian; and even if you don't understand a word of what he's saying, his tender voice and his soft touch is enough to calm you down, and make you forget about your frightening nightmares.
• And of course, quite leisurely, you fall into a deep slumber in his warm arms, with your head presses against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. After that, you had quite the sweet dreams. ♡

Hi, i have been bingeing on all your and i absolutely love reading about the BL world from your perspective, I have learned quite a bit from your posts.
I just want to share some of my thoughts and pick your brain on some things I would like to understand.
Started watching BLs about a year ago and I mostly stuck to the few korean BLs that were available and also some stuff from Taiwan and the Chinese bromances. I know Thailand dominates the BL industry but when I first started watching i kinda avoided because (a) their language kind of throws me off, I don't know if this is offensive but it is something i struggled with during the first few shows and even now that I am used to it I still need time to adjust every time I start a new video. Thai is very different from korean, japanese, and chinese which I am very comfortable with.
The second reason I hesitated (this part is where the actual ask is) was their acting style. Now, I am not a professional who can give any criticism on these stuff, my opinions are based on personal taste and observations.
My main ask is that do you think acting styles change based on culture, like a lot of thai BLs tend to favor the slapstick comedy. Because of that their reactions and emotions tend to be exaggerated (I don't mean this in a negative way, just the only description I could think of.) I have seen a lot of subtle and great acting and emoting from them but kind of big way of showing emotions tend to remain.
I don't know if that made any sense, my thoughts are not translating well at all. Any way i hope you get what I am trying to get at.
Have a nice day🤗🤗
Ooo, what an interesting question and lots to unpack.
I’m not going to turn this into a proper blog post just going to ramble.
I do go into language barriers in the BL producing countries a little here. BL Breakdowns by Country
Struggling with Thai Language
I actually really do understand this. It will depend on your native language, but it will certainly influence your enjoyment. I recommend studying the language a little and learning about it from a kind of cultural mathematical perspective, it makes it a lot more fun and interesting (and you’ll get the humor).
Here’s my linguistic starter post on Thai for BL watchers.
It always helps me become sympathetic when I become intellectually curious about soemthing, anyway.
So my brain is mostly southern British English trained (not so flat as American) plus a little Spanish. But I hear Thai as very tonal and occasionally quite high and screechy and full of ticks (repeated words) because of the polite particles. It took me about a year of continued exposure to just not hear all that anymore, partly because I was training my brain to translate and understand it.
Here’s my brain’s emotional relationships...
I really struggle with Mandarin, it all sounds very much the same to me, the words seem to run together. This is how I feel about French too.
On the flip side I find Korean extremely enjoyable and sexy, I don’t understand most of it, but I like listening to it a lot. This is also how I feel about Italian.
Both German and Russian always sound angry to me.
Most of the Scandinavian languages seem just comfortable and fun and friendly (and sometimes a little silly). (I grew up around a couple of these, in part.)
Japanese when spoken by men just seems preternaturally low in the chest, and when spoken by women too cute and girly. But then sometimes I just kinda like the way it rolls off the tongue, and a lot of the repeated sayings and politeness just sound adorable to me.
Vietnamese sounds very sad to me, almsot like a dirge.
When I turn off the part of my brain, or try to, or have been living in a place where I’ve stopped hearing English on a daily basis, I think English is (most of the time) a very ugly language: chaotic and non-formulaic, sometimes a little brutal sounding. But I love its flexibility and breath of vocabulary and nuance, especially for writing. (Obvs)
All of this is because of the culture and language of my various upbringings, also music tonality. What makes your trained happy music or sad music influences what we hear as happy, sad, aggravating, calming. How we express questioning, excitement, enthusiasm. Spacers and filler words (like um) and breath pauses. Body language (how close we stand when talking to each other). Facial expressions. All of this is going to impact your immersion in a different society’s pup culture and performance style from a linguistic perspective.
So I guess what I am say is, it is possible to get over, if you sort of flex your brain a bit in a new way.
Thai Acting Style
So (now) Korea film style is the most western influenced of the ones you talked about, with Taiwan and the Philippines following up. China is a little more reserved in many ways, and very married to 4 act structure, which can make it feel over long and narratively off-beat to a western audience. I’m not sure where your film consumption background is coming from, but if you like the Wuxia bromances (like Untamed etc) but can also take the Korean short form BLs, my guess would be you’re coming out of sf/f fandom of some kind with a tolerance for epics but also shorts.
You don’t talk about Japanese cinema, which is an interesting case (and most geeks having passing familairty with). It is the one that bridges the gap between the pretty atmospheric stuff, dark themes, but also some serious slap stick and pantomime action, which I suspect is what is turning you off of Thai BL. You might explore some of their stuff.
I talk about it here, the weeds of Japanese filming style in a not entirely flattering manner.
Also here in a history of live action yaoi in Japan
And here is something all about their (and BLs) darker traditions
You could try something like Cherry Magic, which combines softness and sweetness with slapstick, but isn’t quite as in your face a soem of the others. If that’s too much, try Restart After Come Back Home, His the movie, Life: Love on the Line, Old Fashion Cupcake, and Seven Days. All of these avoid the panto style over-acting and sound effects that are the biggest turn offs for most western audiences
So for both Japan and Thailand the love of pratfall, or physical comedy humor comes from their local historical theatrical traditions and variety shows. This can be seen by those of use who did not grow up with is as: childish, scenery chewing, or over-acting.
The addiction to carton sound effects, triple shots (where they repeat the same action from multiple angles, especially around intimacy) mostly comes from anime/cartoons which were tailored to the adult market for much longer historically in most of Asia. (If you think about the British pantomime tradition you will realize that many European countries do have this style of acting, it’s just been confined to the children’s sphere). Although there’s also American soap operas and movie comedies (like Bridesmaids, for example) or Spanish telenovelas that are very scenery chewing.
What you’re probubly responding negatively to is in part a slight feel of being talked down too, or catered to, or spoon fed (emotions, acting, expression, sound) as if you were a child. I still feel this sometimes. Equally, I get annoyed by the sexual restraint that then is coupled to this style, in Japan in particular, which also makes the romance feel downplayed. But that’s my upbringing rearing its head. And, like any other cultural tradition, you will either grow used to it after continued exposure, or just never learn to enjoy the taste. There are some flavors that are harder than others to adapt too if you don’t grow up with them, whether food, language, performance, or music.
That said, there are some Thai BLs that are a lot more gritty and serious, with more subtle and nuanced acting, especially now. Here’s some I think you might particularly be able to tolerate:
Not Me
Manner of Death
3 Will Be Free
He’s Coming To Me
Tale of Thousand Stars
I Told Sunset About You
Love Sick (actually I’d be intersted in your take on this one)
And *maybe*
SOTUS
Bad Buddy
My Ride
Until We Meet Again
Love By Chance
Also you might like Pinoy BL Like in the Movies.
