In Beg, Borrow & Steal, do Oikawa and Mattsun ever fuck the reader together or hell no? (poor reader... she's not gonna be walking straight)

Yes but… how do I put this…

Not happily? It’s sort of like hate fucking (using the reader as a conduit) and it’s almost a competition? They’re trying to make you forget all about the other guy and it ends up being this super aggressive ‘I’m fucking you better than he can and I’m gonna make you cum before he does’ thing which does not end up being enjoyable for the reader.

For the potential AU question, how about a Victorian AU, you know with balls, fancy big outfits and all, an 80s AU aaand a post apocalyptic AU. I gave you 3 so that you can choose :3.

thanks!

i will probably come back for the 80's and post-apocalyptic au's, but i actually drew a victorian au a long time ago but never uploaded it! it was inspired by the sort of dark/gothic/melodrama victoriana like sweeney todd, crimson peak, penny dreadful etc

-this takes place vaguely in "london," not the real place but the grimy, perpetually overcast, singing and dancing jack-the-ripper style place of sweeney todd & the like. everyone has magic powers, often of the sort that has terrible cost to their own health & sanity the more they use it

like these , with nothing "normal" in between

Amelia contacts real ghosts through her crystal ball (containing the skull of a mysterious someone...) which act according to her orders, so that it looks to anyone else like she's moving things through telekinesis or learning things about other people's activities through extra-sensory perception; she's started hearing the ghosts all the time even when she's not intentionally calling them up.

makoto paints pictures which affect the real world, either predicting future events or being able to paint an object and then just reach into the picture and take it out as a real object; she's working on painting life-like animals and people and trying to turn them into real living creatures which is slowly turning her into a sort of doctor frankenstein mad scientist (except, an artist instead of a scientist).

rolls royceton acts like a rich swell but can transform into a huge monstrous creature like the hulk/jekyll and hyde; he intentionally does it to fight/threaten people so as to build territory for his gang but it's started happening out of his control.

vinny was supposed to be executed for theft...and it didn't work; he's essentially a zombie that is still thinking and feeling and doesn't understand it at all but is too scared of dying for real to try to "fix" it.

-various murder mysteries happen through magic or strange dramatic circumstances (no one gets shot with a regular gun for normal murder reasons; it's always some rare poisoned dagger or bizarre curse or something), which amelia & co solve (or technically solve, by getting someone to reveal what's happening)

-a lot of the world revolves around the powers people have & what that means for people of different social classes or genders or ethnicities--a wealthy girl who can blow people up with her mind wouldn't do such a rude thing in society, it's unladylike! a street urchin who can heal people with their hands is probably just using that as an excuse to pick pockets, you know how those people are... as a result, a lot of those murder mysteries are something ironic, like a kindly old grandma whose cookies force people to mind their manners or else be poisoned because manners matter more to her than murder. it's the sort of place where if someone jumped off a bridge, everyone else would judge them like an olympic diving competition

-the characters first meet at a masquerade ball all wearing masks and different clothes, where a murderer is hiding by changing costumes. there should be an exploration through the crypts of an ancient cursed church, a mysterious carnival full of actual magic and deadly games, a theater with a ghost directing (and possessing) the living actors to have the Perfect Performance(TM), twisting back alleys where you could find anything (literally anything) for sale or might get murdered or simply disappear; gothic-steampunk-esque vibes...

-this has gotten more grim than the request implied haha, but i think there's an element of a group of selfish, sometimes callous people coming together in a found-family way and realizing that they want to be better than that and eventually either working to be better people or tragically failing because the terrible things they've done in the past have come back to haunt them. like most of the story would be somewhere between horror and dark comedy, but the final act would actually be life or death for the main characters

Since the 2023 Book List was helpful for working through some books this year, I think I'd like to give it a shot again next year. I've got about a dozen books on the list so far, mostly rereads and some Reader's Choice options to clear out things from my shelves and I'd like to have fifteen total again. Would anyone like to throw out some book suggestions for consideration, please? Thank you! :)

Eclipse

By Pink Floyd

All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel And all that you love And all that you hate All you distrust All you save

And all that you give (all you give) And all that you deal (oh-oh) And all that you buy Beg, borrow or steal (hey-hey) And all you create And all you destroy (whoa) And all that you do And all that you say (hey-hey)

And all that you eat (yeah) And everyone you meet (everyone you meet) And all that you slight And everyone you fight (oh-oh-oh) And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune (everything) But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Hi Rhi! In Beg, Borrow & Steal, does Mattsun move down to Argentina? 👀👀 Does he try to stay with Oikawa and the reader?

Yep. He’s not giving the reader up, he’s not doing that bullshit, divorced parent ‘I get her on weekends’ nonsense, if he’s gotta move his ass to another country to get his girl, that’s what he’s gonna do.

If they’ve got a life set up there, fine, but that life’s gotta make room for him because mattsun’s fed up with playing second fiddle

find the word tag

very late, but better late than never right?...tagged by @dotr-rose-love

world

The gears in the man's head were clearly spinning, and that was a good start--easier to throw a wrench in 'em that way. A healthy dose of confusion kept the world running smoothly.

--Beg, Borrow or Steal

space

A crack of gunfire–Ivan swings around, but there’s no one behind him, just…just empty black space.  The desert sand stretches indefinitely to the horizon with no sky but utter darkness.

--Orphan Signal

heart

Koko really had a talent; Amelia hated to admit it but it was true. A talent for cutting to the heart of an emotion, of etching it on a canvas in a minimum of shapes and lines and colors so that they were both abundantly, unmistakably clear yet slowly unfolding, like listening to a music piece play out and grow more complex.

--Beg, Borrow or Steal

lose

<<Wasting food and breaking dishes is not acceptable,>> Russia said with a toothy smile.  Inside his chest got tight again; that was an entire meal just wasted on the floor.  That was half the remaining food in the house.  <<If you continue like this I will lose my temper with your wastefulness.>>

--Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

little

Sometimes the nasty little voices in the back of Alfred’s head got to him, but he’d made it out of worse scrapes than this before.  Hell, remember ‘63?  He’d thought that might kill him for good, or at least leave him permanently split.  That was a scrape.  This was nothi–well.  It wasn’t nothing, but it wasn’t the end of the line.

--Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

garden

They talk about heading to San Francisco like they’re returning to the Garden of Eden, talk about reaching the Haight-Ashbury district like it’s Nirvana.  Steve rolls his eyes and scoffs, but Soda, dead tired in the middle of winter in 1966, listens, and when they roll out, he leaves with them.

dream

"Good news?" she said, smile going thin. "Yeah! Yeah. Of course, 'Melia-baby." The shining silver limousine pulled around and Rolls opened the door himself. "It's about the picture. Think they might have a part for you after all."

"Oh, bushwa." Amelia batted the air. The idea of being a moving picture star had been half a joke and half a pipe dream. She'd only brought it up to get in good with that snobby wannabe starlet from the Follies who'd had a big mouth about her big-time producer friend Donald Pennyroyal.

--Beg, Borrow or Steal

car

And Vinny had never been much for guiding a conversation. He usually blamed it on not speaking English. Unfortunately Nash already knew he spoke English just fine, so the long lapses into silence stretched awkwardly in the stuffy little living room upstairs from the pawn shop. That, and every time a car backfired on the street Vinny felt his heart do a somersault and the urgent need to start mumbling his rosary for the first time in five years.

--Beg, Borrow or Steal

why

"…But this was the final straw," he was saying. "Someone asked me to kill another stranger. An innocent girl I don't even know. And I don't even know why. Why are you supposed to die?"

--Beg, Borrow or Steal

~~~~~~

Beg, Borrow or Steal is an original WIP

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? and Orphan Signal are Hetalia fanfiction

Pepsi Cola Tastes the Same in Every Possible Universe is The Outsiders fanfiction

I'll leave an open tag because it's been so long since I've really played a tag game--if you see this, try to find one or any of the above words!

I can't believe that during the early pandemic I used to work out in my living room with a 15 pound bag of baking soda in a backpack as my weight
