Guess what, guys? The first chapter of the mudslide fic is getting posted tomorrow! Which is just so unbelievable to me?? Despite posting 10 fics prior to this one, it was the first fic I started writing for this ship and I've been working on it (on and off) since september and now here we are... absolute bonkers if you ask me.

Now, I know there are like 4 people who are actually interested in this fic – and that's fine, honestly –, but I for one am very excited. So I thought I'd give you guys a longer snippet for today. I actually shared parts of this scene in like 3 different instalments from both of their povs lmao but this one is from chapter one so you'll get the full(ish) picture tomorrow.

“Eddie, a-are you sure you’re alright?” “Yeah, sorry. I guess I’m just tired.” He rubbed the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. “Eddie, if there’s something going on, you have to tell me.” “There’s nothing going on, I promise.” Buck raised his eyebrows challengingly and as it had so many times before, it made Eddie sigh in defeat. “It’s. It’s the weather.” He gave in with a heavy sigh and it didn’t quite stop Buck from frowning, but he had to admit, it made sense. It’s been raining for over two weeks now as a storm came to California and Buck would be lying if he said that it didn’t affect him in any way, but he was handling it. The only thing he didn’t account for was that maybe Eddie wasn’t. “Hey, it’s okay.” Buck stepped closer and for some reason Eddie was avoiding his gaze now, so he didn’t stop walking until they were standing toe to toe, the proximity forcing his eyes back onto Buck’s face. “Look. This?” He pulled the neckline of his shirt aside to show Eddie more of the scarring over his neck and chest. “This is a reminder that I pulled through.” He knew what kind of marks a lighting strike could leave on someone’s body, but he never really got to see his own. By the time he woke up from his coma, the patterns were gone — unlike the painful and itchy blisters that took over their place; they lasted for nearly two months and despite all the cold compresses and cooling gels, they still left a hefty amount of scar tissue behind, in the shape of abstract lines and ragged edges. Eddie reached out and traced some of the lines above his collarbone with his fingers and Buck couldn’t help but let his eyes flutter shut for a second with the softness of his touch. The pads of his fingers were warm as they brushed over the shiny silver lines and patches, yet Buck could still feel goosebumps build on his forearms and thighs with every microinch he covered. Suddenly, Eddie’s fingers were gone, pulled away abruptly, almost as if they got burned by the contact, leaving his hand to float in the air between them aimlessly. “Sorry.” Eddie whispered and they were just so close. All the what ifs have started to murmur in the back of Buck’s skull with renewed vigor, buzzing like radio static behind his eyes, begging to be turned up for clarity. “Eddie I—” “It’s okay, Buck.” He flattened his palm over Buck’s heart, only the thin layer of his shirt separating them now. “Thank you, for this.” Eddie patted his chest and stepped back, leaving Buck dumbfounded as to what exactly just happened.

Whooooo wants another silly with Steve as a little shit fic?

The idea comes when Eddie rushes out of his house to go to band practice. It makes him smile at the plan forming in his head and the excitement and gasps he’ll get tomorrow.

The next morning is spent making sure the bags are packed and that he’s wearing his basketball jacket to complete the look.

He’s giddy with excitement as he drives to school, putting one backpack on his shoulder and carrying the other once he’s parked. Walking towards the school with a smirk in place. There’s already gasps and whispers as he enters through the doors. He casually makes his way towards a row of lockers, the opposite side of his own and leans against one and knocking on the open one next to it.

“Man, it’s not even eig- Stevie!” Eddie slams his locker shut and beams at him.

His smirk fades into a smile, “Hi lovely” he whispers mostly due to the other students clearly spying on them, “You forgot this yesterday”

Eddie looks confused and he lifts up the bag, “your backpack?”

He hears more gasps and poor attempts at whispering, there’s even sounds of a book dropping. It brings him joy, making him wiggle the backpack again. “Don’t play dumb, Teddy-baby, you know this is yours”

That time he doesn’t whisper, he’s actually a little loud.

Eddie’s eyes widen and his eyes flicker around them before settling back on him, an unsaid question on his face.

It softens when it’s answered by a nod, “yeah, yeah you’re right. My backpack, you got yours?”

Steve so happy that they’re actually learning to communicate while silent, he smiles back and stands straighter to turn away. Showing off the backpack. He looked in the mirror before leaving the house, it is a big contrast to his letterman jacket. What makes it even better is, since the straps are loosen and long, his name is visible over the top.

“Ye-yep, looking perfect, Sunshine boy.” It comes out pitchy and Eddie clears his throat shaking his head before throwing his arms around him, “always, sweet boy”

Steve brightens and looping his arms around him, keeping him close and loving not only the warm of the hug but also the gasps and loud gossiping around them. That brings him joy at the chaos. Eddie seems to enjoy it too by the laughter coming from him.

“Of all the ways to reveal our relationship, honey”

It brings Steve to a blush, he tightens his arms around Eddie and turns his head to press a kiss to his cheek, enjoying the blush that creeps up.

“Thought it would be fun, let everyone know who belongs to me”

The edible I took is definitely hitting because this isn’t make much sense anymore but it’s SILLY AND SHORT.

Facts ya don’t need but I’m now thinking about: Steve and Eddie have only been dating for a few weeks when pulls this. It’s also a modern au because I don’t wanna think about the 80s. They still in high school and Steve is wearing Eddie’s backpack that he painted on. There’s the hellfire logo, because he’s obsessed with it. There’s also pins and patches all over it, even a ice cream cone and sailor hat, along with cheer pom-poms (am I spelling that correctly? Idk) ANYWAY. Steve’s backpack is a basic blue, with some doodles from Eddie and Robin. Because of course Robin is there, she’s Steve’s platonic soulmate.

It’s also inspired by my brand new loungefly I got 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[onsunnyside]

Okay new fic idea bestie 💡

what about a Steve or Andy mob au with innocent reader who comes from a blue collar family, super hard working. Our parents worked their butts off for it and now we’re attending a private university. Only for us to meet them!maybe we share a class together. He’s the first one we meet on campus🥺 our Big and beefy mob daddy! We think they’re so sweet, showing us around and making us feel welcomed, too bad we don’t know they’re in line to become the next head of a major crime family😭😭Bonus points if we don’t find out who they are until it’s too late🫡🫡 bc we’re too in love to let them go. And well, who said we had a choice in the matter anymore? Once they found us, they had no intentions of letting us go anyways🫠🫠

-💋

ok hold on bc i was listening to lovefool and really wanted to write a fic inspired by it and this is perfect !! now... which daddy to choose !! Steve, Andy, or Ari? shall we switch it up a bit and go for someone who isn't Ari? 🫡

you're sweet and shy, smart and studious but not enough bc you didn't get a scholarship at your dream university 🥺 bc it's private, it's super expensive and you knew you couldn't attend without the scholarship but oh my !! with some help from your grandparents and your extremely hardworking parents, your academic dream comes true !!

on the first day, you're nervous and shy, getting lost on the vast campus bc you didn't want to bother anyone and ask for directions. that's why you end up to your lecture late and have to do the walk of shame to the only empty seat in the hall. you stutter out apologies and eventually settle down, slowly taking out your things and opening to a fresh page in your notebook, only to realize you don't have your pencil case:

a gold pen grabs your attention, and your eyes follow up the huge hand to a handsome man, wearing a soft smile. "I have an extra."

"O-Oh my, thank you!" You say a little too loudly and earn yourself a few glares. You cower into your seat, hiding in the blank pages of the notebook as the stranger simply glares back. You shakily print the date at the top corner and don't notice everyone quickly whip around, going back to minding their own business. 🌚 (bc everybody knows)

fast forward: you and he grow close. he's kind and charming, very chivalrous and always opening doors for you, paying for your lunch and offering to hold your bag (you politely declined those offers).

"You want to come over tomorrow, button?"

"T'ya house?" You blink at him with a mouthful of your lunch, "Sow'y." You apologize, washing down the food with some water. "I'll have to ask my parents. Uhm, I've never been to a boy's house before..."

He chuckles quietly, reaching out to wipe your mouth. "It'll be fine, we're just going to study. Maybe watch a movie to relax and I could finally show you my car."

bc he gets dropped off and picked up by a sleek black car with heavily tinted windows every day, he said it was bc his parents were overprotective of him. he's had his driver drop you off at home a few times but sometimes you preferred going by yourself.

"I could take you for a drive... Show you my favourite spots. Or we could just stay inside, my parents kind of went wild when building our house. There's a lot to do."

You sit back, gaze flickering between his hand holding yours and his pretty face. "Is that—Would that be a date?"

"Think of it like a pre-date. We could get to know each other outside of all of this," he gestures to the campus and your uniforms, "If I want to win you over on our first date, I'll need to explore the playing field beforehand." He winks.

ugh as if he didn't have your heart the moment you laid eyes on him !!

[slowbison]

Stop doing only make reader bro, I just know none of em characters are down with that gay shit

anyways, in other news;

update:

so requests are back open and i can see what everyone would like, (you villain readers enjoyers👁️👁️)

some of them will be merged as they are similar, though i might just make a short out of one specifically just cause it’s quite niceee. heheh.

the fic i’m currently working on (leon kennedy) will prolly be dropped by tomorrow [I’m a liar] and a new one around here from a different fandom (guardians of the galaxy) is what I’ll be working on.

here’s the request queue btw:

- Leon Kennedy x Male Reader

- Rocket x Male Reader

- Miguel O’Hara x Villain Male Reader

- Feral Miguel O’Hara x Male Reader? (not all that sure about this one as in should i make it, maybe a short instead🤔)

that’s all right now so, i’ll get back to it🫡

have a good day y’all

[lunar-years]

whats the rjk fwb fic about? besides them being fwb lol. can't wait to read it!

it's my post-s3 reckoning fic! (mild to moderate) outline spoilers below the cut (but most of the below is established very early on in the fic and it evolves from there) :

the three of them hook up in Brazil. before they all sleep together though, Keeley is like "i need to make sure what happened the last time i slept with each of you doesn't happen again, so for the record this is JUST a friendly shag, let me know now if you want out." because I'm NOT letting this woman continue to make the same communication mistakes, gosh darn it! anyway she's 1) swamped at work and 2) still reeling from everything with jack and roy and even before that with jamie etc. Like girl has not had a chance to be single and breathe since she was a teenager, basically, and she wants to be in her single hot girl era for a bit. and if sometimes she still wants to have a nice shag with her favorite boys, well what about it!

Roy and Jamie promise her it won't make things weird and agree to have sex now but continue only being friends tomorrow. and for the foreseeable future. even though they obviously both want to be with Keeley romantically as well sexually. mostly they are very horny, mildly tipsy, and literally half naked about to fuck, so like, this was probably a bad time to be asking them to be thoughtful and logical and unpack how this will effect their feelings, Keeley. (hint: it does, in fact, make things weird)

after that, through ~circumstances~, Roy and Jamie continue having sex in a fwb arrangement. Keeley joins in occasionally when she has the time, but it's not as constant of a thing as with the boys

obviously Feelings and Emotions peskily get involved, but Roy and Jamie both sort of believe the other one only first had sex with them because they wanted to sleep with Keeley, and then only continued to have sex with one another because they were a good lay. But obviously the only person the other actually wants to be with is Keeley and they'll subsequently have to end whatever's going on between them once Keeley is ready. (the shared expectation being either she's going to choose one of them to be with or neither of them and then they all can move on, whatever the decision).

meanwhile Roy is dealing with the perils of being a new manager and Keeley is establishing a healthy work-relationships-time-for-herself balance !! That's MY Keeley Jones 🫡

ALSO meanwhile, Jamie has struck up communication with his dad again, per canon (😪) and keeps dipping away to manchester to visit him at rehab. Keeley and Roy are not aware of this (Jamie is deliberately keeping it from both them and his mother for Reasons), so they chalk up a lot of Jamie's resultant ~strange behavior~ as general weirdness about fwb instead of what it really is.

.....and you'll have to wait and see! but happy ending I promise :)

Howdy, Besties 🫡

I hope everyone is doing well and staying hydrated!

I am taking a much needed vacation as of tomorrow morning until the end of the month. (I AM FREE AT LAST!!!!!) I probably won't write very much while I'm there.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS:

I have a quick little Lestappen PWP in the works for you! I've finished writing it; it just needs to be edited. I think you are going to enjoy it. I think it will also make you scream... (in a good way), and I'm very excited to see your reaction. I'm a fucking meme if I've ever seen one. This will most likely be posted tomorrow night (Friday PST). Hopefully, this can hold you all over until I get back home 😈😂😎

I've started working on a longer plotty fic again! But it's going to be a different pairing this time around. I hope that's okay with you all. I know many of you are only here for Lestappen, and that's okay! I love Lestappen, and I'm not done writing for them by any means. I have lots of fic ideas and WIPS for them. They're my fav ship to write for. I have just owed @takenquicklys a Maxiel fic for a while now... 😂

I'll still be lurking around these streets while on vacation, bothering you all, and posting cursed content. I'm not planning on disappearing. I'm just not going to force myself to write (for once). If it happens, it happens, but I'm not planning on writing until I get home.

ANYWAY... my plotty Maxiel fic will probably take a few weeks to write, but in the meantime, here's a little snippet for you. I hope you'll enjoy it, even if you're only here for Lestappen! This fic is a little angstier than I normally write... but it will still have lots of Fabby Fluff.

Enjoy besties and have a great weekend!

When Daniel decided to leave Red Bull in 2018, Max was... confused. He wasn’t hurt, necessarily, but it was hard not to take it a little bit personally. Because nobody leaves Red Bull Racing to go to a mid-field team. 

It had to be at least a little bit personal. 

Their last season together got a little rough around the edges. After being teammates for so many years, they were bound to come together on track every now and then. It was nowhere near the battle of the silver arrows back in 2016, but every time they came together in 2018 seemed to be worse than the time before. 

They could usually move past it.

They would ignore each other for a day to cool off, and then they’d pretend like nothing ever happened.

It was good.

It was working.

But some incidents were harder to move past than others.

(Well done, Baku.) 

After Daniel left, things got better. They were able to just be friends again and not worry about being teammates. Max became the veteran of his team and saw new teammates come and go, and Daniel had great results for Renault. 

Everything was going great for both of them. 

But then McLaren happened. 

McLaren took a lot from both of them. 

For Daniel, it took away his pride. It took away his confidence. It turned this tall, cocky, king of the late-breaking man into a too-small, too-skinny, twitchy-on-the-break-pedal kind of guy. It was hard to watch at times. 

To make matters worse for him, everyone compared him to Lando. Which wasn’t fair because Lando had been with McLaren for years. Lando already knew how to get the most out of that shit-box of a car. Daniel still had to learn. 

For Max, it was hard to watch his best friend hit rock bottom. Especially because Max was having such a great year in comparison. He was leading the championship for the first time. He was winning every weekend, his race suit was always damp with champagne, and he was confident that he would become World Champion at the end of the year. 

2021 was the best and worst year of his life. 

He won the championship, but he lost his best friend. 

Fucking McLaren.

day 3: pre-s4

pre-s4 fics my beloveds!! i always really enjoy fics from this time because it's fun to see what people picked up on early on, what things they decided to draw out, and what direction they might've envisioned the show going!! ahhh i am in love with them and looking forward to seeing so many lovely recs today 👀

anyway! here are a couple of mine:

where all the demons go by @lowriting! this one’s got an interesting take on Will having powers, has a sweet portrayal of byler, and (what stood out most to me) one of the best depictions of WillEl i’ve ever read? it’s so good, so definitely check it out!!

cosmonaut. by ghostshaming! i do not say this lightly: this is basically tied with a dream always the same for me as my personal favorite st fic of all time. while byler is a focus of it, the story mainly focuses on Mike’s mental health in such a fascinating way (alternate timelines as a metaphor for a fractured mental state, anyone?). the story is super interesting, the characterization is on point, and THE WRITING. *deep breath* oh my word the writing. i want to eat the author’s writing style, okay? reading this fic was a constant process of me reading one of the most beautiful/gut-wrenching lines i’ve ever read, having to look up from my phone to stare at my ceiling, and then diving back in to repeat the process ad infinitum. i cannot say it enough: read this fic. please. ALSO: it’s got an amazing playlist!! i typically listen to fic playlists just to find new music, add it to my main playlist, and then move on, but this one has stuck with me since i read this fic in late-november of last year. i listen to it often, and the song choices capture the fic so well. ANYWAY yes go read cosmonaut because your life should depend on it, i think

and here i am, gonna break the rules and rec a ronance fic during a byler fic rec week post, but please just bear with me:

nothing sacred / all things wild by @sevensided!! i feel like adats gets discussed a lot in the fandom and is one of like The Byler Fics to read, but sevensided’s ronance one shot is fantastic too, and i think it deserves some love!! it was written pre-s4 and is an au where Nancy’s an FBI agent and Robin is her therapist. if you liked the writing ib adats, then you should definitely give this one a go!!

anyway!! thus ends my rambles. see you tomorrow for the next set of recs 🫡

THE WHOLE THING BETWEEN Y/N AND YANGYANG AND Y/N AND HAECHAN AND THEN JAEMIN AND RENJUN IS HILARIOUS

for some reason it reminded me of that spiderman meme in which all three are pointing at each other (it lowkey doesn't apply directly to the scenario, but still)

and yes renjun, I too would agree to spontaneous plans if offered a burger (I am the biggest homebody you'll ever see)

also karina trying to be friends with minjeong is so real like have you seen her ☝️😔 same

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT ARMAGEDDON IS SO GOOD I LOVE THE GIRLS SM godspa at it again ‼️

ALSO (me saying 'also' 25 times is chronic) WAYV'S NEW ALBUM 👺 it's SO GOOD 🗣️ I was absolutely gagged when I heard she a wolf for the first time. They did not come to play call them slayv

anyway user lqfiles what have you been up toooo 🪿🪿🪿 I hope you've been well 🫡

ynyangrenminhae beef feels like this like the whole house is brawling!!!

😭😭😭 that spidey meme is kinda fitting like i’m imagining that being them when they entered the shop just to see each other and rei was just on the side like 0..0 renjun is SOOOO me too ESPECIALLY if you’re paying for me too like i will be there NO MATTER WHAT. also i couldn’t NOT include jiminjeong i love them so bad having them in this fic without making them besties feels wrong..

AAAAAHHHH GODSPA IS SO AMAZING QUEENSPA YOURE DO AMAZING this comeback rally outdid every single one, and perhaps even savage (i know mys love to hold onto that one for dear life but it’s time we let go…) i still haven’t listened to the full album except for licorice cos i was WAITINGGG for that song, i still haven’t heard wayv song either but i remember it sounded good from the snippet i heard!!!

i’ve been well!!! its gonna be my birthday in a few hours and i’m gonna be officially legal i can’t believe it.. can���t pull the minor card anymore.. i wish i did more with my 18 years of life pllssss, i’m gonna celebrate it in school w my friend tomorrow tho so i’m excited :P how have u been?
