[dougiejack]

DougieJack? Height-difference (shhh that’s one word) platonic or not up to u

DOUGIEJACK??? MY OTP???? MY LAST NAME ACCORDING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE???

CAN FUCKING DO!

Dougie being injured is causing almost all the problems in Jack's life currently, it was messing with his hockey, it was utterly decimating his sex life, and, as was currently his issue, with Dougie unable to extend his arm properly, it made the out of reach items in their apartment actually out of reach.

Sighing with such world-weariness that you'd think no one else in human history had ever suffered so much, Jack goes to the dining room and gets a chair, having realized that the yellow Gatorade was on the top shelf of the pantry.

He's not short, he isn't, but the apartment has high ceilings and thus high shelves, clearly installed with freaks like Dougie and Kevin in mind and no consideration for completely normal sized guys like Jack.

He's still standing on the chair, moving all the remaining items on the top shelf down to one of the shelves that a regular human sized person can reach, when Dougie walks in; he comes over next to Jack's chair and looks up at him, smiling just a little meanly at Jack's solution to his height problem.

Jack smiles back and says "So this is what it's like to be the tall one," and, for once, leans down to kiss the laughter out of Dougie's mouth before quickly deciding that he prefers it the normal way and jumping down from the chair, hardly breaking the kiss in the process.

Lumberjanes Week Day 4/5 - AU Day & OTP Day

Was a day late and a dollar short with my planned Infinity Train AU, so I decided to make it extra Hes/Diane and give you two for the price of one. I don’t know if they’re actually my Lumberjanes OTP, but goddamn are they the most fun to write. 

.

The second most infuriating thing about the Evil Forest Car (as Wren had so optimistically dubbed it) was that the door was absolutely impossible to find.

The most infuriating thing, of course, was its goddamn denizen.

She looked so human that, for a moment, Hes had really thought that they were going to get another member of their sad little party. This fantasy had lasted for most of the day, during which time the denizen had hacked away a cluster of branches and led them to a river of clean water with an unerring sense of direction. She had looked more irritated than afraid, and Hes had suddenly found herself dreaming of getting some actual competence into their group.

But then, of course, Hes had to glance at her hand. For two beautiful seconds, she forgot where they were, forgot that a normal hand was a Bad Sign. Diane had long fingers, well-trimmed nails. Her skin looked smooth, but Hes knew that was kind of a weird thing to think about. 

It hit her like a train from the Getting Hit By Trains Car: no number. Not a passenger.

Diane was something else.

For a moment, Hes could only stare, too freaked out to even tell the others. She had no problem with denizens; some were pretty awful, but most that they’d encountered were either pretty neutral or outright benevolent. Barney had even adopted a cat from one of the earlier cars that could do some really weird stuff, but seemingly only when Hes was keeping watch (Hes could now say that she had seen a magical kitten ask who’s going to believe you with just its eyes). 

Denizens were like people. Some of them sucked, some of them were great, but a lot of them were just trying to go about their super-weird days. Still, though, Hes had never seen one look as human as Diane did. That was a terrifying thought, that all their cars could be filled with people who acted like passengers but weren’t. Who had motives that Hes was so far from ever understanding.

So she handled the situation in the most graceful way she could think of, which was to stop short in a pile of rotting leaves and yell “Denizen!”

Diane threw her a look of pure loathing. “Dude.”

“Oh dang, where?” Emily scanned the tree line with interest. “I thought I saw a funky-looking squirrel a moment ago, is that it?”

“Um.” Hes glanced, panicked, at Diane, whose mouth was pressed into a thin line. “Um, it’s gone now.”

“I hope it’s another moose,” Mackenzie said reverently.

“If we meet another talking moose, you are not allowed to talk to it,” Wren shot back. “Jeremy would have helped us if you’d just shut up.”

Mackenzie was unapologetic. “He was wrong about hockey teams.”

“--that’s it, I’m going squirrel hunting. Wren, you wanna come squirrel hunting with me?”

“No squirrel hunting,” Hes said, because there was really no world where that didn’t end in fire and tears. “I guess if it . . . wants us to know, it’ll show itself.” She pointedly wasn’t looking at Diane, which wasn’t helped by the fact that Diane was staring at her.

Hes clenched her right hand behind her back. She knew she was making a bad call, and she didn’t need some stupid mathematician train god to tell her so.

Shockingly, they didn’t find the door. Hes, Diane, and Emily were supposed to take watch that night, but Emily went up the nearest tree about six seconds in, so then it was just Hes and Diane and the terrible inscrutable look on Diane’s face.

They were getting nowhere. They were totally lost, and Diane was probably evil and they were all going to die in what was easily the lamest car so far, and it was going to be all Hes’ fault.

“Stop looking at me like that,” she mumbled.

“What is up with you?” Diane said. “Do you hate denizens or not?”

“I don’t hate denizens,” Hes said. “I just think it’s weird that you’re pretending to be something you’re not.”

“I’m not pretending! You’re pretending, keeping your hands shoved in your sweatshirt all the time like you don’t want us to see that you’re, like, quantifiably messed up even though all of you are. And I never said I was a passenger, you just assumed.”

“Yeah, okay,” Hes said. Diane was deflecting. Hes wasn’t hiding anything, her hands just got cold a lot. “But you were acting like--like you want to get out. Like us.”

“Uh, newsflash, I do want to get out.” Diane said. “This car straight-up sucks. But I don’t need your help to do it, by the way, ‘cause I bailed on my original car ages ago. I’m helping you. Out of the goodness of my heart.”

Hes stared at the ground. She hated the cars that looked like places that could really exist. She wanted to go back to the Cotton Candy Car, or the Literally Just a Huge Washing Machine Car, or any of the six Star Trek cars (excluding The Animated Series, because that one was just. So weird). Here, though, it kind of looked like she could pick a direction to walk in and find a ranger station and a place to buy Cool Ranch Doritos and her mom, who was probably really worried about her. 

She didn’t know why she couldn’t just wake up the others and tell them that Diane was a denizen. They deserved to know. They probably wouldn’t be huge jerks about it like Hes had been. Maybe it wouldn’t even change anything.

“What car are you from, originally?” Hes said, instead of doing that.

“Why? Trying to take me back?” Diane said, with a snideness that probably hid some real anxiety.

“No! I just--I don’t know. I’ve never really thought about how a denizen like, knows where they are. Or what to do.”

“We know a lot more than you think,” Diane said,  which had the dual effect of being genuinely chilling and making Hes feel a little guilty. Then, for whatever reason, Diane softened. “I’m from the Greek Mythology car. I don’t know if you’ve been through it.”

Hes hadn’t, but her capacity for surprise was basically nonexistent at this point. “Sounds kinda nice.”

“Gets old.” Diane picked an acorn from the ground and started throwing it in the air and catching it. Hes tracked its motion with her eyes. “Anywhere would. The only way to do it is the way you guys do. Always moving around.”

Hes curled into the tree. She thought about the constant low-grade snarl of hunger, how much her feet hurt from weeks of walking. How even the fun cars were a little scary, in their own ways. “That gets old, too.”

“Then I guess we’re at an impasse, huh.” Diane flashed her a rare smile. “Only thing you can do is get your number down and get out.”

Hes started. She’d sort of guessed some of that, but confirmation from a denizen was something else. “We can leave? Like, leave-leave?”

“Think so. Not like anyone tells us anything.” Diane was quiet for a long moment--maybe thinking about how leaving was a passenger’s privilege. For her sake, Hes hoped they ran across some really amazing car soon, someplace Diane would be happy. Sarcasm Car. Puppy Car. I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Earth! Car. 

“Well, okay.” Hes watched the acorn, going up and down with a kind of lovely carelessness. “Thanks for helping us, I guess. Sorry for, um. All this.”

“No worries.” Diane turned to face Hes all the way. She had startling eyes. They were altogether probably the most human thing about her, and the rest of her was very human. “Can I tell you something? I think the door is behind the waterfall.”

Hes squeezed her eyes shut. She knew.

Everywhere they went, there was always some catch. Some waterfall, infested with something darker and bigger and more watchful than Hes had the words to describe. The thing about the insane creativity of all these cars was that the horrors were always inarticulable. Bad in ways you had never known anything could be bad.

The waterfall had one slick hand around Hes’ thoughts. It made quiet sounds when none of them were talking, like a low laugh or else a funeral bell. The water seemed very swift and very cold, and behind it there might be a door or there might be something that they would never recover from.

“Maybe you’ll all get out before we have to check,” Diane said, but she didn’t sound hopeful. “What’s your number?”

Hes removed her hand from her sweatshirt pocket and gave it to Diane. Diane turned it over and over, staring at the number as if it had some hidden depth. Hes normally didn’t like people looking at it for too long, like they were just trying to peer through to see what was wrong with her, but she didn’t mind when Diane did it. 

And then they were just holding hands, and Hes had to admit that that was pretty nice, too.

Halloween Endgame - Stiles Stilinski

Stiles Stilinski x Reader

Summary: The pack decides to dress up as the Scooby-Doo gang for Halloween with you as Velma and Stiles as Shaggy, but the rest of the pack notice something is going on between the two of you. 

Word Count: 1,581 

Author’s Note: Let’s get freaking spooky! If Stiles Stilinski as Shaggy hasn’t been done yet, it’s a shame. 

Last year Stiles was worried about the pack staying together during College. Over time, he learned to live with the distance. Just because you all were separated, didn’t make you any less friends than before. Plus with Lydia at Stanford and Scott at UC Davis, you all could find time to see each other. You and Stiles manged to see each other a lot more than the others because you both attended UCLA.

The two of you spent Monday nights studying in the library, Wednesday afternoons in the student union, and Friday nights picking Netflix shows to binge in Stiles’ dorm. It wasn’t long before your friendship began to develop into something more, but the both of you were hesitant to tell your friends. The relationship was still new and neither of you wanted to add the pressure of the pack knowing.

For Halloween, you all planned to meet up and spend the weekend together. You all agreed it would make the most sense for Scott and Lydia to come to you and Stiles. Liam felt left out when you told him the others were coming for a visit, making you feel bad. You invited him to come down thinking his parents wouldn’t even allow it, but he convinced them it was so he could see what the college was like. Mason couldn’t tag along because he already had plans with Corey. And Malia was still in Paris living her best life with those French men she kept talking about over the summer.

When Liam said he could come, you came up with the perfect idea for a group costume.

“Scooby-Doo?”

“It’s perfect, Stiles,” you said excited, your face lighting up. “Lydia’s got the red hair and the beauty for Daphne, Scott is our Alpha like Freddy, you’re tall and lanky with brown hair like Shaggy, and Liam’s like a puppy, so he’d be a great Scooby.”

“And what about you? You’d be Velma, right,” Stiles asked from next to you at your usual table in the student union.

“Yeah,” you shrugged, “only cause she’s the last one left, but hey, it works out since there’s five of us.”

“Hey,” he said elbowing you, “you’ve got Velma’s brains,” Stiles tried to reason.

“We all know Lydia’s the smart one,” you said absentmindedly as you scrolled on your phone.

“You got into UCLA, Y/N. They don’t let just anyone in here.”

Your only response was your mouth twisting up briefly.

“I know,” Stiles said scooting closer to you, the sound of his chair sliding across the union floor making a loud screeching noise. “You just want to be Velma because her and Shaggy are together.” Your lips turned upwards and you rolled your eyes. “Y/N, if you wanted to do a couples costume, all you had to do was ask.”

You laughed then said, “Shaggy and Velma aren’t canon. That wouldn’t be a couple’s costume.”

Stiles threw his arm over your shoulder. “But we all know Shaggy and Velma end up together. It’s a friends to lovers trope.”

Your eyebrows raised up. “Someone’s been listening to me talk about my writing class.”

“Great listener! Add that to the list of things that make me an incredible boyfriend,” Stiles said grinning.

“Well just make sure this incredible boyfriend,” you said while grabbing Stiles chin and shaking his head, “doesn’t mention that he’s my boyfriend when our friends come.”

“I know, I know,” Stiles replied as you let go of his chin. “We both decided it would be better if they didn’t know right now. But if I get caught ogling my hot girlfriend and they start asking questions, I won’t lie.”

You giggled while you shook your head. “Then keep your eyes in your head Shaggy.”

Stiles raised his hands in defense. “I make no promises.”

                              ____________________________________

Stiles, Lydia, and you pregamed in your dorm before you went out. Scott thought at least one of you should be sober so someone would be responsible in the group. Even though Scott and Liam couldn’t get drunk without the help of some wolfsbane, you personally told Liam’s parents you would keep him out of trouble, so you forbid him from drinking anything. 

Early 2000′s Britney Spears blasted from you speakers as you painted a dog nose over Liam’s nose. Lydia was in the mirror touching up her makeup. Meanwhile, Scott was trying to convince Stiles he shouldn’t take another shot before you guys went out.

“Maybe you should slow down on the shots Stiles,” Scott said loosening his orange ascot around his neck. 

“I’ve learned to handle my liquor a little better since being in college Scotty, I’m not a light weight anymore.” Stiles brought the shot glass to his lips and tossed his head back. “Ahh,” he cried as the clear liquid burned his throat. 

Stiles watched you as you finished up Liam’s dog nose. He squinted a little annoyed at how happy Liam looked staring up at you in the chair. Everyone in the pack knew Liam always had a little crush on you. 

“Maybe we should get Liam a doggy bowl for some water. He’s looking a little thirsty,” Stiles mumbled more to himself than to Scott. 

“What,” Scott said turning to look at Liam smiling up at you. “Oh, he’s still like a puppy around Y/N,” he said with a chuckle. “It went away when he started dating Hayden, but since she moved away I guess his crush is back.”

After Liam’s dog nose was finished, he walked over to Scott and Stiles. Lydia began helping you get your Velma wig on so all of you could head out. 

Stiles looked over and watched you get ready in the mirror. Scott and Liam were talking and Stiles was completely zoned out staring at you.

“Stiles,” Scott shouted slapping Stiles on the back. 

“Huh, what,” Stiles said as he jumped becoming aware of his friends around him. 

“We were asking you about getting something to eat before the party,” Scott said.

“But you were too busy staring at Y/N,” Liam said suspiciously as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“I was just admiring her Velma costume,” Stiles said shifting from one foot to the other. “I don’t remember Velma being that hot in the cartoon, ya know,” he said trying to laugh it off but being serious. 

“Yeah...,” Liam said not buying what Stiles was saying.

                             ____________________________________

Stiles’ hands rested on your hips while yours grabbed his arms as you both laughed uncontrollably. The two of you always had a good time together, but the combination of the Halloween party and the alcohol was intensifying things.

Scott, Lydia, and Liam watched the two of you together trying to figure out what was going on.

“Those two have gotten real close since being here,” Liam said squinting his eyes over at you.

“They’ve always been close. They’re just drunk,” Scott said defending you two.

“That’s not it,” Lydia said as she fiddled with her ascot. “Those two aren’t telling us something.”

“If there was something to tell, they would tell us,” Scott said.

“Oh come on Scott,” Lydia said. “I know you see it too. He’s your best friend.”

Scott thought about it for a second. “He did say something earlier that made me think something was going on, but it’s Stiles. If him and Y/N were together, he would tell me.”

Lydia hummed as she twirled her ascot around her manicured finger. Some guy asked her to dance, and as soon the song was over, she quickly came back over to the boys. Liam and Scott were bopping up and down the pop rock song the DJ played next. 

“I think they just answered our ‘what’s-going-on-between-Y/N-and-Stiles’ question,” Lydia said pointing over to the two of you. Scott and Liam turned around and witnessed the two of you playing tonsil hockey on the dance floor. Scott’s mouth dropped to the floor and Liam’s face scrunched up in disgust. 

Your eyes grew wide before you pushed Stiles away. He tried to pull you close again, his eyes still closed as he puckered his lips. You laughed while you tried to keep him at arms distance. “Stiles! We’re not supposed to be kissing right now remember.” 

Stiles opened his eyes and looked around. “Well I don’t think it matters anymore.” 

You scrunched your eyebrows in confusion. “Why not?” 

“Because our friends are watching us,” Stiles said nodding his head in their direction. You turned and looked at them, Lydia giving a dainty wave to the two of you.

 “Oh my God,” you said giggling. 

“Since they know now, we might as well get back to our previously schedule program.” 

“And what program was that,” you replied smiling up at your boyfriend. Stiles pulled you closer to him.

“That episode of Scooby-Doo where Velma and Shaggy finally come clean about their relationship and tell the gang.” 

You turned your head to the side and pretended to think. “Ginkies, I don’t think I remember that episode.” 

“Zioks! Well let me remind you,” Stiles said before leaning down and reconnecting your lips. You started laughing uncontrollably mid kiss and Stiles pulled away smiling at you.“Is my kissing that horrible?” 

“No,” you said shaking your head while you laughed. “It’s just the way you said Zoinks and the whole Shaggy get up makes me really feel like I’m kissing Shaggy.” 

Stiles let you finish your laughing fit before he spoke. “So, does this mean Shaggy and Velma are canon now?”

You reached up and pushed his hair back gazing into his brown eyes. “Canon. OTP. Endgame. Baby, we are everything.”

New Year, Same Us - Auston Matthews - Six

a/n: yall our girls spill the tea in this chapter. also i did not just make up the wags account, i’ve actually seen some different ones like this on instagram but i don’t know the @ so just a heads up lol, enjoy.

July 28, 2018

“Uh (Y/N)” Steph said from the living room. “You might wanna see this!” 

“Hold on give me a sec!” I grabbed my mitts and pulled the rolls out of the oven, placing them next to the chicken on the stove, and ran into the living room plopping down next to Steph. 

It was a girls night, which meant that Paige, Steph and I were making dinner and watching movies while the guys played video games at Mitch’s with some of their other teammates. It was nice catching up. I had been setting up for a fall internship in my department at school and was getting all the details ironed out before I went back. I hadn’t seen the girls in a hot minute.

“I usually don’t look at stuff like this, but it popped up on my explore feed.” Steph was sandwiched between Paige and I, as we looked down at her phone.

It was an Instagram post with pictures of Auston and I either from each other’s instagram page or pictures it looks like people have sent in from spotting us in public. One of which we are holding hands. “Gimme that.” I make grabby hands at her phone and she hands it to me. I scroll through the multiple photos of us again, and then look at the actual account. An NHL Wags account which has more than 10k followers. Holy shit. 

I click on the Leafs highlight. It’s a bunch of listings of players and girlfriends/wives with the date of the most recent update. The first one has TAKEN next to Mitch and nothing next to Auston’s. But then the one from last year has TAKEN next to Auston’s. And the most recent one, which was updated a couple weeks ago, still says TAKEN.

I went back to the post of us and read the caption. “Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs and (Y/F/N)! These two are adorable! All photo credits go to submissions and their instagrams.”

Under it were probably 50 plus comments. 

“So cute!”

“They’ve been together since day one, just look at their accounts they go wayyyy back and the captions just get flirtier. We love an otp”

“Why tf would he go for her?”

“He could do better.”

And at that I shut it down. I knew people said horrible shit about me for being his friend but I chose not to directly look at it and I wasn’t about to start feeding the beast.

“That’s uh, interesting.” I said handing Steph her phone back. “And weird.”

“Wait why?” Paige asked looking confused. “Obviously not the fact that they have the info but like aren’t you guys together?”

“I forget you’re new.” I laughed, “I swore I told you-“

“I just assumed-“

“It’s not a big deal, literally everyone thinks we’re together at first.”

“So you’re not?” She raised a perfectly sculpted brow as I shook my head, “damn. I swore you guys were. Kappy never told me otherwise so I just thought- wow.”

“If it helps she wants them to be.” Steph shrugged and I glared at her. “What? Better to be honest and upfront. I don’t know why you two haven’t just come to terms with it all and told each other how you’re feeling.”

The timer dinged on the oven for the Mac and Cheese and we all made our way back into the kitchen. “Yeah that would be great and all but Aus doesn’t feel that way about me. And even if he did you see the girls he goes for. Polar opposite of me.” I pulled the Mac out of the oven as Paige started putting the salad together.

“Babe,” she started, “that boy is in love with you. I think he just hasn’t realized it yet.”

“Yeah,” Steph chimes in, “I don’t know if you realize but like, he never even mentions said girls to the guys when they ask.”

“Yeah but that’s just cause I’m around the majority of the time.”

“No- not even when you’re not there. Mitch asked him if he went home with a girl when we went out the other week? Ya know when you were busy sorting out that internship?” I nodded. “We went home early that night but Auston and Willy stayed out.  You know what he said? He didn’t go home with anybody. And you know who he started talking about instead? You.”

My cheeks flushed, “All he went on about is how proud of you he was and how he wanted your internship to go well for you.” 

My stomach was in knots, “you’re telling me that Auston didn’t go home with anyone that night? That’s so unlike him.”

I had thought about it before. Around the time that we first got to Toronto. That maybe he had the same feelings I did, but then it was a new girl every game and I figured that I better get over it quickly before my heart broke. I didn’t. 

I guess I wanted to believe that if he really did like me then he would just come out and say it, or at least he wouldn’t sleep around. And he never did say anything. But he’s hot. And a professional hockey player. And a damn good one at that. He was sleeping around in high school. And it’s nothing to shame him for, it just sucked when I was harboring those feelings and I didn’t want our friendship to change if he didn’t like me back. I wasn’t ready to leave and give him up if that were the case.

“Sis he hasn’t been going home with anyone for like the past 3 months.” 

“There’s no way he hasn’t had sex in that long. That’s just not realistic.”

“That’s what Mitch told me.”

“You live with him.” Paige said, fixing herself a plate, “wouldn’t you know?”

“We never bring hookups to our apartment. I’m always asleep when he gets home on those nights. I don’t wanna know how long he’s been gone. And even if I was awake I keep my door shut at night anyway.”

“Have you like, got any recently?” Steph asked wiggling her eyebrows and putting an unhealthy portion of Mac and Cheese on her plate. 

“Uhh I hooked up with that hot bartender, but Aus doesn’t need to know about that. And also a guy that I had some classes with from last semester, I think about a month ago? But that’s about it. I went out on a limb with those, I’m not one to just hook up ya know? I would rather be in a relationship.” They nodded and I went on, “It was good with the guy from school but as soon as he found out Auston and I were friends it got weird. It was the one time I brought someone over because Auston was out of town. So after we hooked up, this dude was going through our kitchen cabinets at like 1 in the morning with just boxers on while I was asleep and Auston walked in. That’s how he found out I lived with him. That’s how he fucking met Auston.” 

They were damn near cackling at this point and I just started making myself some food.

“What did Auston say to you when it happened and then like after?” Paige poured us some wine.

“He had just come home from a road trip and was so confused. He asked the guy to leave, but I guess he was awestruck that Auston Matthews was in my apartment and I kid you not, asked for a damn autograph.”

They were dying. “Glad I can amuse you ladies at my expense.” I laughed a little too. 

“The whole thing was such a shitshow. Auston obviously said no and kicked him out. Then he knocked on my door. And like there I am with just a t-shirt and panties on. I was so fucking embarrassed. He wanted to talk then and we worked it out. But he was acting kind of weird about it. Honestly he seemed a little butthurt.”

“Of course he did. He was pissed off some kid at your college could get with you when he’s known you all of a semester and Aus can’t seem to catch a break after 20 years.” Steph stated.

I laughed, but Paige added, “Damn right!” She raised her glass and Steph and I did the same. 

“To good friends.” I started, “I needed this, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you guys. So here’s to us!”

“To us!” They said at the same time, glasses clinking.

 And it felt good.

multsicorn’s infinite fic playlist

some friends in a chat were talking about comfort fic!  so I have Made A List.  Ten of my very favorite fics to reread when I need a boost, in ten different fandoms.  In no order.  And with no particular theme, that I can tell.  They’re probably all more-or-less mostly self-contained enough to work even if you don’t know the canon?  Certainly the Hockey RPF fic is (cause I don’t know anything about the canon there!), and who doesn’t know HP, etc....

.... four are about fucked-up families, (cause I find that cathartic, and people dealing with it comforting), two are polyfic, (because more relationships interacting to me means ~more love~), three are really mostly about the ~feel~ of the universe, (the fun mundanity of a not-quite-mundane canon universe! or of a perfectly balanced space au), and then the last one is... about how to know if you’re in love on one side of it, and about how to get over it on the other (because how does one romance).

the ones about fucked-up families:

When The Lights Go Out, Will You Take Me With You? by narceus (Glee, Kurt/Blaine, m, ~11k).  I love the way that it punches out my heart and then puts it back together?  Lmao, that’s very personal.  But I love the way that - what can I say.  This isn’t a fic about romance, it’s a fic about family - well.  How sometimes your family is your boyfriend, and your mutual friends, how sometimes ‘family’ is something you have to leave, and real family is something you build.  ‘This is exactly what it’s like,’ and it’s wish-fulfillment, and, yes, somehow it’s both of those things.

You can run away with me any time you want.

Come Marching Home by ossapher (American Revolution RPF/Hamilton, Hamilton/Laurens, t, ~9k).  Fraught relationships with family members who think they love you but they really really don’t are my jam, and the way that this fic deals with a younger still-dependent sibling who’s caught in the middle between John and his horrible father is especially my jam.  Also, fics that transform a complicated set of characters/relationships/etc. from canon to a completely other setting thoughtfully, which this fic ‘verse has a lot of fun with.

John Laurens attempts to reconcile with his U.S. Senator dad after years of minimal contact. It's family, though, so nothing goes as planned.

Theft of Assets, Destruction of Property by Helenish (Harry Potter, Draco/Neville, e, ~23k).  I love the way that Draco here builds a life up out of nothing.  It’s very cozy from one angle, full of cooking and baking and making a house a home, but it also goes hard on the way that abused children will internalize their situation as the expected baseline of life, which I appreciate very much.

Surely it is a mistake to allow a single youthful indiscretion to cloud an already promising career.

A Month of Sundays by Kelfin (Hockey RPF, Erik Johnson/Gabriel Landeskog, m, ~69k).  I love the push-pull of a relationship that naturally slides very quickly into something very close and intimate, that keeps being pulled back from that by Erik’s internalized homophobia.  I love the way the story negotiates the very real knock-on effects of that on Gabe, his maybe-maybe-not partner, and the way the Erik negotiates ‘I love my family... but they don’t love me.’

Unlike some guys, who freak out when things get even a little bit gay, Erik is fine with this stuff. Erik's not even fazed when Gabe's attempts at flirting with him start to get semi-public, a fact that, by his own judgment, makes him at least five to seven times more tolerant than your average forward-thinking American.

the polyfics:

Everything That You Can Keep by Dira Sudis (dsudis) (Vorkosigan Saga, Aral/Jole, backgroundy Aral/Cordelia, e, ~30k).  I love this story’s negotiation of not just polyamory (and I love negotiation of polyamory stories - how two people in one relationship share feelings about yet another person, and figure things out? yes, please), but specifically of all the added complications that come out in the highly hierarchical, secretive, and loyalty-based Vor society.  When even asking about asking is a matter of trust, requested and given?  That goes straight to my id.

The impossible takes a little more time, a lot of negotiation.

Love: The Package Deal by jjtaylor (Bandom, Frank/Gerard/Lindsey/Jamia, m, ~30k).  I love the way that the different relationships are layered over and relate to each other - that’s one of the big things I like about polyfic - and the way that the amnesia smashes them together by bringing a past relationship to the present, while making the present one abstract and back to square one.  I love how the amnesia in fact smashes together all the highs and lows of eventful years’ worth of Gerard’s life: artistic success, problems with drugs and addiction... they’re all right there waiting for you.

Gerard gets a special kind of amnesia. Frank gets to reexamine his idea of acceptable relationship structures. Lots of people fail to communicate effectively, but they all sure remember how to kiss.

the cozy weirdness of the universe:

it's a new craze by attheborder (Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, t, ~6k).  The development of the relationship strikes a nice balance between angst and sweetness, but what I really come back to this fic for is the fictional advice podcast!  That Aziraphale and Crowley start together, which it’s about, and the way that they sprinkle their up-close experience of history into their discussion on it - and then the way that the fandom latches onto and tries to make sense of that.  It is just, purely, A DELIGHT.

CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan. AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we? CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all. AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous. CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.

***

Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

A Resolution of Territory by arboretum (Hikaru no Go, Hikaru/Akira, e, ~10k).  I just love imagining spending my life playing Go, okay!  This fic is wonderfully immersive in a weird-but-good everyday reality, of spending your whole life immersed in a game that just fascinates you, alongside your friends - and your boyfriend, too, which is to say, the one person who shares your fascination in the most direct and deepest and mutually obsessive way.  Eventually he’s your boyfriend, of course.

The point is, life is hectic, but it's good.

The Vastness of Space by shysweetthing (Yuri on Ice, Victor/Yuuri, e, ~17k).  I love the way that the space setting here gives scope for best-friends-and-partners, for cute and amusing low-stakes shenanigans and then cleverly solved higher-stakes adventure.  I love how sweet Victor and Yuuri are in caring for each other in dire circumstances, and why they both see each other as beyond their reach in the context of this imagined world.

As chief communications officer on board the Interstellar Alliance Fleet’s Star Ship Victory, Yuuri doesn’t have to think about who he actually is on his home planet. He just has to listen to his captain, do his job, and…not fall in love with his best friend, the ship’s science officer, Victor Nikiforov.

Well. Two out of three’s not bad.

Then his mother calls with the worst possible news: She, the Empress of New Nihon, has arranged Yuuri’s marriage. There’s only one thing Yuuri can do: Fake a boyfriend, and fake one fast. Who better/worse to play that role than the friend he wishes was more? What can go wrong? It’s not like Yuuri can fall more in love...

the how does romance (with my beloved controversial otp):

if you change your mind by leetlebird (Check, Please!, Jack/Parse, e, ~35k).  I love the way this story shows Jack trying to work out what love means for him, anyway, and Kent learning to deal with and work around feelings that he thinks for most of the story are unrequited.  And the cozy jury-rigged domesticity of especially the final chapters/scenes.

Beneath the table, Jack’s hand squeezes around Kent’s knee. And -- Kent forgets. For just a few seconds, he forgets that they can’t be together, that Jack doesn’t want him in that way, that he’s trying to move on.

“We’re friends, right?” Jack says.

“Yeah, Zimms,” he says. “We’re friends.”

Or: Kent and Jack are friends, then friends-with-benefits, then maybe something more. Kent isn’t sure.

rules: answer these 10 questions about your ships and tag 10 people

I was tagged by @eafay70 and @bergys-neck

tagging y’all tagged most of my friends but i’ll go with @lesbleusthroughandthrough @jetaimejetaimejetaime @ahoeforjames @vecchiasignoras

ultimate otp: this was an easy one before january but now there’s not really one other than maybe kunessi because no matter what headcannon i have about them they always end up married lmao

a ship you’ll always love: i’ll always love matsumoto jun x ikuta toma - you never forget your first one. my fandom journey began with them and this ship literally saved me during a difficult and lonely time

current obsession: lapenko lmao. what even is this crack ship. and why do i love them so much? I guess my favorite ships are the ones that always have lots of problems, might not really be ‘meant to be’. i am an angst hoe and made for doom ships are my ultimate weakness.

a ship you never thought you’d like: bergy/marchy and pierreus actually LMAO. bergy/marchy mostly cause they’re hockey rpf and also i thought bergy was a different person literally until last month. i have a really hard time telling white men apart. pierreus because i didn’t find either of them attractive lol. also i hadn’t really shipped a interracial ship before them - the dynamic is complicated even now after i’ve written them so many times. It’s difficult to write fics without canon racism when one person is black and the other white

a ship you liked but don’t like anymore: i wish i could just say pierreus and be over with it but i’m such a little lovesick fool. i love them so much still. i guess the one ship i truly stopped shipping is johnlock because that show is just garbage. And to that vein all my glee ships too because that show got so gross

a ship you think should be canon:  i really just want some high profile football players to come out, football needs to be less garbage. I’m going to go with Mendy and a boyfriend but well this is just wishful thinking so yeah I really wish Mendy and his cousin Bernardo were real esp since I get strong crush vibes from Mendy.

a canon ship you hate: Alex makes an excellent Linda/Amanediel point, that ship simply fills me with rage. Stiles and Lydia also fills me with rage. Stiles has had a boner for Derek since season 1 and I just can’t believe the show kept queerbaiting us like that. Every forced het ship has been The Worst experience of my entire life.

a ship you’ve been shipping for years: My longest ships are Ikuta Toma/Jun (around 9-10 years) followed by Sterek, Merthur, Destiel, Thomas/Mesut and Schweinski (all around 5+ years)

a ship everyone loves but you don’t care about: Football RPF ships are all pretty rare since the fandom is so small so I feel bad shitting on any ship. But Neymar/Messi gets on my nerves lmao (i mean refer to my ultimate otp as to why lol)

favourite rarepair: every single city ship. they’re literally out here giving us quality boyfriend content after quality boyfriend content and y’all sleeping????????????

Grounded (Arrow 613)

After watching 613, I kept thinking how a lot of the characters on Arrow (sans Oliver, Felicity and John) should be grounded and sent to their rooms. Leading the pack is William and the Newbies. And maybe the writers as well, for the lame way they killed off Cayden James and slipped in Diaz as if no one would notice the tepid turnstile the villains came through this season.

So, William sneaks out of the Bunker after Oliver told him to stay put, that it’s dangerous out there. He shows up in the field and cries about being scared and not wanting to lose his dad like he did his mom on Lian Yu. Thanks for that reminder, William. Oliver needed to stay focused while he faced the bad guy and William uses his dead mother as a justification for following his dad. Did Felicity’s talk with him in 611 mean nothing? Did she not convince the lad that what Oliver does is dangerous? After 611 and the heartfelt family feels, William seemed to have a handle on his dad’s vigilante lifestyle, that he understood why Oliver is out there protecting those he loves and the city they live in. Felicity told him that he (as she does) has to believe Oliver is going to be okay. William conceded to this and appeared willing to follow in his step-mom’s footsteps.

Does William not trust Felicity or John or Auntie Thea? Does the boy not understand what Team means? All four of his new family members (and yes, I am including John) have knocked on death’s door. They understand what it means to have one another’s back. They understand that they are stronger together than on their own. It is all about trust---and faith. So disregarding the team’s safety because William was afraid---it doesn’t track.

So William, you’re grounded.

**

The Newbies. Since they went their separate ways and created their own facsimile of a Team, I have felt nothing for them but a slow burn. Their self-righteous, we-are-the-victims mentality is one of the most ridiculous storylines Arrow has served up. Okay, I’ll just say it---without Oliver’s influence and guidance, Curtis and Rene and Dinah would still be adrift in the mess of their lives, angry and in pain and without direction, without a  place and purpose to channel it through.

Rene is the worst of the three. He was wearing hockey gear before Oliver brought him into the fold. He was running in blind (aka Barry’s early days) and taking on the villains who were clearly elevated in skills and tactics and just plain menace. I mean come on; Anatoly got the drop on him and shot Rene with his own gun. Apparently, the writers would have us believe that Rene lost track of and the reasons for trusting and being loyal to Oliver when he caved in under the pressure and manipulations of Agent Watson. He should have trusted Oliver the same way Oliver trusted him. He should have instinctively known that Oliver has his back. The Green Arrow has saved Rene’s ass multiple times. But over the last couple of episodes, Rene has become a stranger to what he was becoming under  Oliver’s tutelage.  He was doing well at the Mayor’s Office, as well as part of Oliver’s elite team of vigilantes. He was almost close to becoming endearing to some of the fanbase who has hated him from the start. Wasn’t it Oliver who saved him from Church? Wasn’t it Oliver who risked his own life going over that highway overpass to rescue Rene before he was crushed from the fall? Wasn’t it Oliver who cleaned up the mess Rene created by going solo after Samson? And wasn’t it Oliver who opened the door again on winning back Zoe? The way Rene is now blaming Oliver for all that is bad in his life, (most of which he created himself) warrants canceling his Team membership card.

So Rene, you’re grounded.

**

Curtis, as always, has been written so poorly. Okay, if you roll the series back two years, Curtis had some promise at the start of Season 4, but the episodes were few and far between. He had tech skills. He was married (happily?) He did develop Felicity’s chip that made her walk again. He hacked a bunch of bees and saved the day. And if I remember correctly, Oliver inspired him to stay in Star City and fight for his home.

We all knew (via the comics) that Curtis was going to morph into Mr. Terrific; T-Spheres and all. I remember there being a sense of excitement by this. But at the start of Season 5, after being beat up by street thugs, Curtis was already putting conditions on Oliver bringing him onto the Team. Oliver asked him if he could identify the ruffians who whooped his ass. Curtis said yes and he will happily tell him--- under one condition. Oliver was right in his assessment that Curtis had the least amount of experience then the rest of the candidates when it came to mixing it up with the criminal element of Star City. His nightly beatings cast doubt over his ability to hold his own. He lost heart. Then he lost Paul (maybe he blames Oliver for that too.)  Then he lost his appeal.

I won’t even get into the writer’s thinking he could fill Felicity’s computer and hacking shoes. I think they tried too when she was plummeting down her rabbit hole, but it was only annoying and felt just wrong.

There was one more instant when Curtis tried to be appealing to the fanbase. It was in 520. He brought, or had Oliver pick up, Chinese food and bring it back to the Bunker to go with wine in the garage.  (Clearing my throat)….He brought our OTP together. Okay, it was a flashback, but we got some nice Bunker sex out of it. So good on you Curtis.

Now, he has added indignation and being a professional victim to his resume. He has sided with a traitor (Rene) and a secret-keeper that could have compromised the Team (Dinah.)  All of them broke the #1 rule in vigilanteing---trusting one another.

Curtis, you’re grounded.

**

Dinah. I’m sort of on the fence where she is concerned. On one side, Dinah has blown away any doubts of who the more effective Black Canary is on the show. Her fighting skills make Laurel Lance look like she is slap-fighting her opponents. Dinah is more fluid and is one mean mother with the staff she uses. Her fights are just more exciting to watch.  And her sonic cry? Come on, really? She can stop a speeding train with it. Laurel could muster up a loud noise to disrupt her opponents hearing, and she could occasionally cause glass to shatter. So yeah, I am way more of a Dinah fan for reasons.

Having said that, the whole Vigilante/Vince thing kind of seemed last minute to me. When Vigilante came on the scene last year, even then I did not really invest myself in him. Maybe it was because I was in numb disbelief over what was happening with Olicity.  Then Vigilante went away and Adrian Chase became all the eggs in the bad guy basket. Did the writers already envision Vigilante’s part to play in Season 6?

(Me speaking for the writers--- (“Okay, let’s bring Vigilante back. Wait, even better, let’s make it Dinah’s ex. Yeah; he was killed the first time, but what if he was caught in the same meta wave that turned Dinah into a sonic badass? We can throw him in with Cayden James and Diaz and Anatoly and Black Siren. But we’ll also make him a double agent, with his old feelings for Dinah still intact. Hot damn, it will be some wonderful contrived drama and it will keep the fans guessing.”)

Uh sorry writers, but I could not climb aboard that toxic ship. I think it ruined the potential of Dinah being a good character. That is not set in stone---there are still ten episodes left, so who can tell at this point? And now because Vince was killed the second time by Black Siren, (a conflict of interest if there ever was one) Dinah has gone off the rails, the same kind of train wreck she was when Oliver convinced her to come  make a difference on his team. She wants revenge and is blinded by it. No more Mr. nice guy (uh, I mean girl.) No more self-reflection or trust or belief. Oliver made  all of it happen (through the pain surging through her mind) by calling her on keeping her new, reunited relationship with Vince a secret, an act that could have seriously hurt the team.

Dinah, you’re grounded.

**

So, all the Newbies had a part in screwing the pooch. To them, it was Oliver who instigated their righteousness. Do any of them remember Evelyn? Do they remember being put in Gilligan’s Island style cages, and the island being blown up? Heck, Evelyn even gave them all cute, handmade Christmas stockings. They might as well have been filled with razor blades.

So yeah, Oliver put you all under surveillance. He was not going to be compromised in that way again. Maybe the question he should ask the rookies is---if one of them (say Rene) decided to throw the other two under the bus to save themselves, wouldn’t  you want to know what each was doing.  Wouldn’t you want to see it coming? It’s pretty simple for the kind of lives all of them lead. Oliver made some pretty harsh sacrifices over the years to keep integrity in his crusade. Apparently, the Newbies are not willing to go as far.

Episode 614 looks like all this is going to come full circle. Hopefully it will end this awful storyline and put everybody back on track for a strong finish to the season. If Dinah and Rene and Curtis can realize that they bit off more than they can chew by taking on OTA, maybe taking a bite of that humble pie will fulfill  their hungers of becoming stronger than what might be out there that could destroy them. And it doesn’t include blaming the ones who invited you to the crusade.

One quick note…Lance has completely gone up around the bend. Maybe it’s time for another intervention, before Black Siren (not Laurel) shows him that drinking is safer than listening to her BS.

Lance, you’re grounded.

Everybody is grounded.

Summary: He gets jealous

~

 “Mattias I need to work,” I giggle, grabbing his arm wrapped around me and pulling it off.

My effort doesn’t do anything, he just wraps it around my waist again and plants firmer kisses onto my neck.

“Then work.”

“I can’t work when you’re distracting me.”

“Then pay attention to me,” he whines, spinning me away from the laptop to face him.

“Okay,” I wrap my arms around his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

He snuggles his head into my neck, letting out a deep breath in bliss.

“Well would you look at this happy couple?” PK Subban comments as he enters the small room.

“Go away, PK,” Mattias mumbles.

“I was told it’s my turn to do the videos, but if you’re busy I can come back in twenty minutes,” he offers.

“Its fine,” I say at the same time Mattias says, “Give us thirty minutes.”

I pull away from my boyfriend to turn back to my laptop and he whines, causing me to raise my eyebrows.

“You can sit in the chair, PK,” I instruct, making sure all of the filming stuff is set up.

“What am I supposed to do?” Mattias whines.

“Go talk to your teammates, practice your hockey skills, I don’t know.”

I don’t even bother looking at him, but I hear him stomping down the hall to tell me that he’s pissed off.

This is one of the things I was worried about when I accepted Mattias’ offer to go on a date.

I was worried that bringing our relationship into the workplace would make both of us look unprofessional- luckily everyone just thinks we’re a cute couple.

But I was also worried that work emotions would be confused with personal emotions, like what just happened.

I don’t mean to offend Mattias in any type of way or hurt his feelings, I just want to do my job.

“Trouble in paradise?” PK asks as I sigh, mentally noting that I have to talk to my boyfriend later.

“He thinks since we work at the same place we have to spend every moment together,” I confess.

“That would get hard.”

“It does sometimes, but it’s worth it. The more I get to see his handsome face the better.”

~~~

“I’m home,” I call out, closing the front door behind me.

Mattias doesn’t respond and I roll my eyes, knowing he’s probably still pissed at me from earlier.

“Hey baby,” I greet him as I walk into the living room where he’s sitting on the couch watching TV.

“What, so now you want to pay attention to me?” He spits out.

“I was doing my job,” I defend.

“Right, because your job is more important than me,” he crosses his arms, pouting like a five year old.

“Mattias I see you most of the day, I can take three hours to record those videos.”

“But if it was any other player you would be fine with me being there,” his voice starts to rise.

Mine does as well to match his volume. “What the hell does that mean?”

“It means that you’re always all over PK!”

“I’m not always all over PK, I think he’s a funny guy of course but that’s it, we’re just friends,” I shout, “And he’s your teammate, I’d never do that to you.”

“Then how come when we were kissing the other day you left me to talk to him?” He questions.

“He was signing an autograph for my little cousin for her birthday. He’s her favorite player, I told you about it, remember?” I cross my arms, staring him down.

His fierce look starts to falter. “And today?”

“Just trying to do my job, Mattias.”

His mouth gapes as he tries to find something else to defend himself but he can’t.

“You need to stop getting so jealous, babe,” I reassure him softly.

I approach the couch, sitting next to him and wrapping an arm around his neck. “I love you and only you. Who do I come home to at the end of the day?”

“Me,” he answers weakly. “I’m sorry. I love you more than anything.”

He pulls me onto his lap for a hug.

~~~

We stand in the hallway the next day, wrapped up in each other’s embrace.

“Is my OTP okay now?” A voice asks from next to us.

We both turn to see PK giving us a worried expression.

“We’re okay now, PK,” Mattias answers with a laugh. “And uh, thanks for signing that autograph for her cousin.”

“It’s no problem, bro.” PK walks away, leaving my boyfriend and me alone.

I smile at him. “I’m proud of you.”

“Thank you, babe. I’d do anything for you.”

foxhole rec

so all for the game is the name of the series more commonly tagged as the foxhole court which you’ve probably seen more of then all for the game. all for the game is the name of the series but not many people tag it as that cuase foxhole court is just more /them/ but yeah i obv tag it as all for the game

NAYWay

first of all … http://coldsaturn.tumblr.com/post/145954896501/ so damn accurate i swear

basically its like this.

you’ve met ronan lynch… now meet andrew minyard. okay. lemme tell u about andrew minyard. he is basically like ronan turned up about 100 notches and then some. the first time he meets neil is so perfect (neil is the protagonist) also speaking of neil. nora (nora sakavic aka the author) has basically more or less stated that neil is demisexual (cause like nora herself) neil simply does not understand attraction (unless ur name is andrew i mean what) and a lot of the fandom kinda makes him genderfluid too which nora has said shes fully cool with too and she could see it (Nora is a precious angel you’ll love her but we’ll get to her) andrew minyard is an angry smol and i mean the DEFINTAIOTN of angry smol like hes barley 5 foot but e is also th emost deadly Exy player there is (we’ll get to exy too) and he protects whats his and who he loves no matter the cost. the things he does for the people in his life who mean something to him like sHIt fuck me up ten ways to sunday m8. book 2 is really when u get more of a feel for andrew as in book 1 ur kinda like okay wtf who is this lil psychotic midget putting neil through hell. and why should i care?? but YOU DO and you WIll like shitshit he caught me so off guard that lil shit.

neil josten… neil josten is also a smol bean. u know how every otp has one asshole? yeah no. neil and andrew are both asshoels and its gr8. so neil is the narrator and it starts off with him telling you about his life and okay this kid. this kid has been through the ringer. his dad is some scary ass serial killer dude called The Butcher and he and is mum we’re on the run from him for years. but now its just neil by himself and his whole life hes been on the run from the mob and his dad who wants to gut him. so neils life has just been one town to another new names new lies and etcetc. but then he gets approached by someone wanting him to play Exy (we’ll get there shh) with this … hm… this.. group of troubled kids as other people would say (but rlly theyre just human okay and all my loves are amazing) called the Foxes and his first instinct is to run. run away now cause he cant have a future and get noticed u know for neil that was just never an opition. but coach (coach wymack is amazing good lord at one time he even calls neil or andrew fucking retarded or something like coach pls) wants to adopt neil and neil is like nah uh but then coach mentions a name. kevin day. and lolol basically book 1 is so gay with neils hardon for kevin and 90% i thought kev and andrew we’re bangin and we’re boyfriends (originally first draft nora said it was gonna be kevin/andrew then kevin/neil and then onc eupon a time poly neil/kev/andrew but thank god she changed it cause that so wouldnt have worked u will see) but alas. anYWay

neil knows kevin from his ~past~ and hes got a creepy lil stalker book of all things kevin he carries with him like neil pls

anyWAy EXY okay exy my pal is like basically think a hardcore version of lacrosse with hockey ;) i could honesty ramble on so much more about why i love it with how all these kids have such srs mental illnesses but they mAKE It and they WORK THROugh it and that makes me super happy or i could tell u how much of an angel nora herself is and how she talks to us (she has a tumblr ill give u later) or i could tell u

how amazing the girls are how renee… okay i wont spoil anything but her backstory is INSAne and dan and just ugh my girls… how neil looks up to them

Neil thought about Renee’s bruised knuckles, Dan’s fierce spirit, and Allison holding her ground on the court a week after ____’s death. He thought about his mother standing unflinching in the face of his father’s violent anger and her ruthlessly leaving bodies in their wake. He felt compelled to say, “Some of the strongest people I’ve known are women.”

also andrew has the biggest sweet tooth and is an actual five year old

I’ve said all year I don’t swing and I meant it. Kissing you doesn’t make me look at any of them differently. The only one I’m interested in is you.  

[letstrywritingmaybe]

On the agenda for today: send out love letters cause I owe comments, irl stuff (I really need to do laundry…), read my library book, listen to the new twenty one pilots album cause I’ve been slacking, watch hockey (fuck the rangers all my homies hate the rangers. But also why is Krieder not the captain??? That man bleeds Rangers blue!), I’ve already replied to comments and wrote the next chapter of the fake dating fic so I guess any other writing will be considered a bonus to me… oh wait, I should work on CoAi week. Damn it. Okay yeah I’m not getting everything I want done today. My main priority should be CoAi week but realistically I need more fluff in my life

Update: love letters sent <3 hockey watched *sigh fuck the rangers but Wennberg is a cutie. Started my book and laundry! Now onto baseball and finishing irl things and maybe some writing. Idk I’m not really feeling any pull but we’ll see. I’m reading Rebecca, I think Tay read it? I think I saw a tumblr post about how she did or maybe it was in the long pond doc? Idk but yeah already I’m like girlie this is not it. You deserve a nice romance, you’re so young, I don’t mind age gaps but she hasn’t seen the world and gotten to experience so many things and to just settle down like this? And yeah he didn’t even say he loves you! What are you doing!! Omm I’m reading and filling myself with dread over this poor girl. I’ve only just begun and already I’m like you deserve better. I think I’m projecting my feelings for my queen onto her even though I don’t think Shiho is anything like her. Idk I’m feeling like I need to write now, but what idk, I just need to escape and I suppose that’s fitting given the book I’m reading

Update 2: Not to be annoying, (I always am) but I had some banger ideas with my year of the otp prompts. Like I would read most of these as actual fics. Which I mean I’m self indulgent so duh but damn. Since idk what to write I was hoping by I could expand on one of those verse but it’s not what I want to write. I’m feeling sorta royal verse vibes but more so in the arranged marriage scene? But not for shinshi like they’re betrothed to others but they meet and a whirlwind romance ensues and fuck it lets get married and deal with the fallout later. Yeah that’s what I’m feeling right now. Like two rebellious kids who are sick of being responsible, who cares about consequences and scandals? They know what they feel now and they’re going to go after it even though every one tells them it’s a mistake and when reality hits it does feel like it’s a mistake but then… they’re alone and all the doubts disappear

Update 3: I’ve gotten zero writing done but I went back through the year of the otp prompts and my American football AU still gets me!!! That is the absolute most self indulgent thing I’ve ever written and I love it! Literally I know no one else gives one single fuck but I love that verse! It is so me coded, rereading it I was like Omm yes football!! Dude I kinda miss when I had month projects like that cause they were so soft but also some were super challenging cause I don’t vibe with certain ideas. Like the shift shaper one? But that one was so freaking soft and they were so hopeless for each other. The bond between the moms and shinshi too like I can’t. More fics that mention familial relationships too please! But for real how did I manage to do that? I sometimes wonder how I can turn any situation into fluff? And maybe that’s why I made things super difficult with the fake dating verse. But also I didn’t do my usual here’s a massive dump of fluff to make up for the angst…. Maybe I should write an extra? I mean I thought about writing their rated moments as an extra already but I think we need to see their soft moments too. Idk. I hate when I feel like I kinda wanna write but then I also don’t? It’s very annoying

[jacksbits]

so i wrote some ransom/lardo/holster tags and @epickegster sent me a message about it and then i proceeded to instantly word vomit 1500 words about it because I WANT. THEM. TO DATE.

anyway here it is, slightly cleaned up. (rated teen)

imagine ransom and lardo hooking up in secret for WEEKS and like.... they don't want holster to know because they don't want him to think they're not into him!!!! but!!!! also!!!! it's hard to keep it a secret lmao

they regularly debate like. "should we tell him and then when we're Established as casually dating we can invite him?? for a threesome??? would that work???" "no maybe he'd get jealous and sad and also, maybe it would be better if we both *individually* hooked up with him first and then, we could like... bring up the threesome later??"

it's a trial and the whole time rans and lardo are sneaking off to make out. because they.... can't figure out what to do.... but they can kiss each other at least.

(but like they definitely... talk about holster all the time whenever they're alone together.... "haha and then holster would be like..." "yeah!! omg he would…." anyway they like him so much. it's a problem ;__;)

and THEN

(more)

lardo and rans are hooking up in the attic and then they fall asleep accidentally. rans gets up and goes to the bathroom…. but then holster COMES HOME and lardo is still HIDDEN UNDER THE COVERS.

and so lardo is hiding under the covers on the top bunk like FLIPPING OUT because WHAT DOES SHE DO??????????????

and then maybe rans comes back and he's half-naked because... lardo... and he's like "OH MY GOD HOLSTER HI."

and holster is like.... hmmm he's kinda been. ….he's been sad actually because they all hang out all the time but he can see that rans and lardo have this Connection... like, making eye contact and sometimes he sees them whispering etc. he feels slightly out of the loop.

also he's Officially decided his crush on ransom is like... too much. and he wants to put it out there so rans will reject him and he can move on??

but also the WAY holster decides to bring this topic up is by saying, "so i think i should move out of the attic" because he's an IDIOT.

ransom is like, “OH MY GOD WHAT,” and he immediately like. goes to sit next to rans on the bottom bunk (mind u he is shirtless and in boxers) and touches holster's shoulder. and then he repeats, “WAHT.”

holster gives a like VERY LOUD and dramatic sigh. then: "i..................... i dunno, it's hard, i think i..... shit. i kinda have a bad crush on you, man?"

and rans is like ADOSFDSFSDFOKSDF internally but what comes out is "ME TOO."

remember LARDO IS STILL THERE and now she's freaking out even more because

.....

LIKE, OK HER AND RANS HAVE THEIR THING BUT..... THAT DOESN'T REALLY.... THIS IS RANSOM AND HOLSTER.... she's not really a part of that.... like YES the three of them are spending tons of time together this year and YES they're all very very close now but. she's still an addon here at best.

anyway she's like, "probs.......need to go. i need to go. i shouldn't be hearing this."

but HOW TO LEAVE??? she can't INTERRUPT THEM.

at the same time that lardo is freaking out, holster is like "you.... WHAT...." and rans is like "i do!!!! i really do!!!!" and kisses him.

lardo is like, "maybe.............. i can....................... just slide............................ out of the bed.................? down over the end??? they're distracted." (she can hear the kissing sounds)

also her clothes are like all over the floor. (the room is a disaster holster didn't notice.)

ransom has..... oops forgotten that lardo was there (or assumed she left???? he's... a lot is going on..... he can be forgiven for this.)

so lardo slooowly goes to the end and peeks her head down over the edge of the bed. to .... see???? what's going on?? (she's literally holding her breath because if they see her now POKING HER HEAD OVER THE EDGE it's gonna be so so awk) but they're making out and don't notice her.

so then she like carefully SLIIIIDES OUT OF THE BED over the edge and down onto the floor.

she can't believe she's making it??

she gets to the floor and she's like half-crouched in the corner of the room at the end of the bed.

they're still kissing. rans is on top and lardo takes. just one moment. to stare at holster's big hands digging into the skin of ransom's back….

it’s. wow. it’s sure an image. but. she’s like FOCUS, GIRL.

and then she like..... has this quick internal debate. should she go downstairs completely naked and risk getting CAUGHT LEAVING THE ATTIC TOTALLY NUDE?

which she 1. could not explain at all 2. would cause so much gossip that holster would end up hearing about it and 3. ransom and holster are probs gonna date now and lardo doesn't want it to get out that she was hooking up with rans in case that fucks things up for them??? she needs to be discreet.

so she's like FUCK IT they are distracted enough that i can collect my clothing

(plus she figures if rans sees he won't say anything so she really only has to get past holster)

(also… she's trying not to get distracted by ransom and holster full-on fucking making out … but. it’s difficult. holster's leg has come up to wrap around ransom's ass.... help her.....)

lardo finds her bra and shirt in the corner close to where she's standing and puts them on, but her underwear is like.... in the literal middle of the floor...........

she looks at holster and his eyes are shut. she takes a breath. she can do this.

then she gOES FOR IT and darts out to get them and then,

as she is half-crouched over like a gremlin with one leg through one side of her panties,

she hears a noise.

lardo looks up.

holster is staring at her.

"hi," says lardo. she's completely fucking frozen.

holster blinks.

"sorry, i left these here," lardo says, and slides her underwear the rest of the way on, picks up her shorts, and leaves.

…….anyway lmao after lardo leaves ransom explains everything ("... so lardo and i.... we've.... um first of all we both really like you but secondly we have been having sex for probably six weeks at this point sorry for keeping it from you.") and holster is like "HOLY SHIT." and stands up instantly.

rans is like ??????????????

but holster just yells "ARE YOU COMING"

rans is like "yes??? where??? what's happening" but he follows holster down to lardo's room.

holster almost bursts in but then he's like, "No. I will be a Gentleman" and he knocks.

after a second, lardo is like..... "uh, yeah, you can come in?" assuming it's bitty or chowder or someone. but then holster comes in with ransom right behind him.

(lardo was kinda sitting on her bed with her shorts back on, arms wrapped around her legs. she was just... staring into space.....? she felt. awkward. embarrassed. she was kinda sad. she really liked ransom and she was really hoping... anyway. it's gonna be different now. less ransom&holster&lardo and more ransom&holster and lardo... but. oh well. she’s happy for them? totally. she’s their bro.)

anyway then she sees them and she looks straight to ransom. they communicate like "WAHT IS HAPPENING" "I DON'T KNOW???" "OK I'M FREAKING OUT" "ME TOO!!!!!! AHHH!!!!" in like. two seconds of eye contact.

holster is like, "lardo you are cool as fuck and i................... i don't really........... do you. want? i."

he's run out of steam. he started so strong but he just…. lost it. he's still in shock and he can't quite get the words out.

lardo is like "...........yeah?" she's instantly embarrassed because her voice comes out weird but whatever.

ransom is actually able to fucking communicate his feelings and he's like, "holtzy what are you thinking here? we're both dying."

holster, like an idiot, says, "can...uh............cuddle puddle?"

anyway lardo bursts out laughing and pats her bed for them to come sit down. whatever weirdness there was between them is broken.

"yeah sure," she says, when she’s calm enough to speak. "that'd be chill."

then they all cuddle for a while and when they get over the awkwardness they have a better conversation ("HOW DID YOU KEEP IT A SECRET!!! FOR THIS LONG??" "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!!" "I WAS SURE YOU KNEW!!!" "OK BUT WOULD IT HAVE WORKED IF WE ASKED YOU TO HAVE A THREESOME WITH US POINT BLANK?? WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING ABOUT THIS FOR WEEKS" etc etc)

they're disgusting and v happy and they never have to pay fines because they are the judges of samwell hockey court so they can just blatantly ignore the rules. they are totally corrupt.

also rans and lardo often make eye contact and say in unison, "can... uh ... cuddle puddle??" and burst out laughing and it always makes holster turn bright red.

"I WAS NERVOUS!!!!" yells holster, every time.

anyway it's cute and they're good. class of 2016 is my secret otp. thanks for listening.
