i have no idea how you were able to find me, but i can't imagine what it would be like if you didn't. you're an amazing person and have introduced me to so many more like you. you have given me the confidence to begin to express myself (at least a little bit) more and to reach out to more people on this website. things are kinda scary right now and i have no idea what i'm going to do with my life in a couple years, but seeing your posts and talking to you always make my day. i wish i could show you everything i love and all the places i think would make you smile, and i wish you could do the same for me. i wish i could tell you about all my fun experiences and show you all my interests. i wish i could come see you and learn more about your culture. i hope that i'll have the privilege to do that in the future. i don't know how long we'll be friends but i'll always cherish your presence in my life. i wish i could show you everything. i wish you could show me everything. i wish we could see each other. i wish you could meet my friends. i wish i could know you.

(i'm sorry if this is sad or anything aaa) (also i think it may be obvious who i am)

<3 holy uhm thank you! for making me cry tears of joy at like 8 in the morning? i am so ver grateful that you think of me like that <33333333333 also it's okay to not know what to do in life it's..a well BIG thing..! it's your first time living as you, be easy on yourself <333 and im glad my posts and my convos matter that much too you :D googling eachother's countries and cultures as a love language lol <333333333333333333

squeeee helu im back (>᎑<๑)/♡ good morning when u see this yena ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

so shua being rosy pink. u r the only correct person actually. i never rly thought about him being pink but it fits him so well 'm gonna cry ! ! n i was so looking forward to this post bcs remember when u told me that shua’s n hannie’s colours (silver n pastel pink) rly align w the colours you have for the both of them ? it didn't make a lot of sense then but wahh this is so beautiful n i can't even begin to tell u how u hit the mark w joshua. especially here: "he's rosy pink, like new love, like young love, like precious love" like first of all my gosh that was so sweet ! ! it made me smile so big (＾▽＾) so so cute !

to me shua is someone who is impossible not to fall in luv with,,, n i think he's truly made for the (childhood) friends to lovers trope so i love how u focused on warmth, tenderness, n youthful love. it's so fitting n he rly is the embodiment of rosy pink ! ! n the rest of ur piece too rahhh 'm obsessed w ur writing i wish i could eat it ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა also i think it was 🍒 anon that was like shua's rly lucky to have someone thinks about him like you do n wahh i couldn't agree more,,, i felt the luv bleed thru all ur words <3

this post ended up being one of my faves (along w cheol, hannie and hansol's,,, maybe even hao and dokyeom bwesjehsj) but has anyone requested for jun or jihoon ? ? 'm so curious about what colours they're going to be heh >:3 ooo also lmk if you wanna read my silver piece ? it's a lil goofy rip but i would luv to hear ur thoughts on it (∩˃o˂∩)★

hehe oh my god you're the sweetest pls thanku sm !! haha yeah i was kinda talking about the fact that the colours you wrote for them were switched with what i thought 😭 so for me hannie was silver/diamond and shua was the pink one!

joshua is a very... a very light person to me? it sounds weird when i put it like that but he's just kind of floaty, kind of like youth and with a spring in his step and all those bright, youthful phrases and all. he def feels very friends to lovers :(( or even lovely stranger to friends to lovers omg !! the childhood f2l is reserved in my brain for junhui haha but you are very very right that it can fit him soooo well <3

[valentine-writes]

can you do thoma romantic hcz,,, 🤲

thoma x reader general hcs !

↳ ft. thoma

「 gn! reader, romantic relationship <3 」

author's note: ´͈ ᵕ `͈ <3 aaa!!!!! u should know that i luv luv luv thoma and am so happy 2 write these up 4 u!!!! spelling mistakes + grammar errors will probz b here im so sorry :((

▸ i feel like when thoma falls in love, he takes it very seriously and cherishes the feelings he holds

▸ and you?? thoma loves you so much it's absurd. when he's not busy serving the kamisato's or helping others, he's immediately by your side, wondering if you need anything

▸ the way he expresses his love is mainly through acts of service. if you need absolutely anything, he's already on it. though, considering thoma already lends this sort of help to others on a daily basis, you'd think that these gestures would be a little unrecognizable as something romantic, right?

▸ nope. it's just the slightest bit more obvious. if you just slightly express any sort of need for something or require some sort of service, he'll offer his help a little quicker than usual. you could clear your throat around him and he's already there with a cup of water

▸ i swear thoma is the biggest sweetheart. he's caring, polite, and always offers to pay for your meals together.

▸ he's not... irresponsible with mora. but he definitely doesn't hold back on purchases either, especially when it comes to you

▸ if you want to treat thoma to lunch, you best pay the bill in advance or be willing to fight him over it. he'll thank you endlessly for paying though, he really appreciates how you're willing to do things for him too. next time though, he's a lot quicker to pay the bill

▸ he loves running errands with you! little things like grocery shopping, delivering things to others- thoma is happy to have your company. it does get a little tiring doing everything on his own, even though he's always saying that it's not all that bad and he's used to multitasking. he likes what he does, but you can't help but notice he keeps pushing aside his own needs for others :(

▸ so when you decide to get him to rest and take up errands for him that day- you have never seen thoma more flustered. stumbling over his words about how you really didn't need to do all this for him and how he's alright- he feels super loved by your care and can barely express it

▸ honestly, just seeing you makes his day! your presence puts the brightest smile on his face, so he hopes that he's not being too clingy when he asks for your time and company whenever he's off

▸ he loves noticing the little things that you do. they melt him completely: the way you say his name, the way you talk about your passions, your sense of humor- he can't get enough of it.

▸ there's one thing he can never seem to overcome however, something that will make him blush no matter what: he absolutely adores the compliments you give him

▸ he's always quick to return the compliment back, (which is impressive because your verbal affection makes his brain go fuzzy) but thoma will be thinking of it all. the. time.

▸ i can literally not get this thought out of my head- thoma is one of those people who love matching with their s/o's.

▸ matching bracelets? matching bracelets. he starts wearing it 24/7 and if anyone asks about it, his faces heats up as he tries to explain that he's matching with you. he likes keeping a little piece of you with him

▸ i saw someone hc that thoma is a good singer and now i'm gonna cry over it- he probably has the world's sweetest singing voice. if you ask him to sing something for you, i think he'd try to deny that he can sing at first or downplay his skill but celestia would BOW to his lovely voice. eventually, when you convince him, he sings the most lovey dovey and sappy song ever. and you can't get enough.

▸ but it's payback time! his super secret talent is out to you, so now everytime he sings around you, he makes it a duet and won't continue if you don't do your part. don't leave thoma hanging :] !

▸ ohhh my gosh..... slow dancing in the kitchen to music as thoma hums along, lovingly holding you >>>

[cognitosclowns]

hot take anon back at it again with the brett brainrot- he's. a crier. not in a 'im not having a good time and need to take a minute' kinda way, but in more of a 'i love my s/o so fuckingn much how did i get this lucky' kinda way, both in general and when you're getting intimate with him. you intertwine your fingers with his while you're going down on him?? his back arches so hard you swear you hear it pop. you press your forehead against his? look at him all lovingly nshit??? he's kissing you like he'll die if he doesnt. just. god. god?? gd. god. i love him a whole hell of a lot and he means the world over to me ok byegsdJGKSDM--

YOU UNDERSTOOD THE MEMO. YOU'RE ON THE PLOT. YOU'RE TRACKING THE PLOT THROUGH THE ARCTIC, LIKE VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN TO HIS CREATION. 

NSFT BELOW, RABID SCREAMING <3 MINORS DNI

YES <3 BRETT IS A CRIER

he just,, has A LOT OF FEELINGS OK?? and sometimes it all bubbles up and just gets to be A Lot <3

So its no surprise that during sex he also?? gets teary eyed?

JUST,,, AAA

You’ll notice it first happen,, when you start kissing his neck? Something about how sensitive the area is makes his eyes start Tingling.

if you keep eye contact with him?? Whisper in his ear about how lovely he looks? Oh yeah expect some embarrassed tears!!

y’know when your face gets so red that your eyes start watering? <3 yeah. 

The moment he notices it happening he’ll,, 100% start apologizing bc.. He feels silly. He feels completely stupid for crying over feeling good of all things.

he doesn’t wanna worry you over nothing!!,,,, and he really, really, really doesn’t want you to stop just bc he’s getting teary eyed smdns!! The tears are good ones!! Please god don’t stop!! <3

Give Him Reassurance Please He Needs It

Genuinely just a little,, ‘its okay baby, let it out <3′ and he’s gonna be full-throat sobbing against your neck. <3 he bottles up his emotions,,,, and they all just kinda come out at once??? 

He just,, feels so cherished and safe?? That + the perfect physical sensations = some extremely happy tears. Eventually it peters out into these Lovely Long Hum-whines as he just,, lets himself enjoy the bliss <3333

If he’s getting railed??

Honestly that’s one of the only times his Filter slips, so expect some very shameless begging smdns.

Enough that his throat gets raw?? So his voice starts dragging n cracking??

He tends to get caught up in loops of,, a few words??? usually punctuated by sobs n gasps?? (need-it gasp need-it gasp need-it gasp). His brain is absolutely shutting down smdns its Essential Words Only.

He loves the kind of sex where its,, short hard thrusts <3 the kind that makes his legs turn into jackhammers bc it just,, Hits Right Where He’s Been Needing? Eyes rolled back, full sobbing. He’s in a state of pure bliss. His entire body is gonna be wrapped around you <3333 he wants you CLOSE dammit!!

His whoooole body curls into itself when he cums - might accidentally bonk your heads together, bc he just,, lurches <3. His fear of accidentally hurting you prevents him from digging his nails into your back - instead, lots of vvvv fast, light slapping?? Either open hand/fingers or his knuckles - never enough to hurt, just something to Work Through The High <3

He gets,, so mushy during the afterglow. Just quietly rambling about how,, special it feels to be loved by you, and how beautiful you look right now and Oh Look He’s Crying Again <3

SO UHHHH <3333 YEAH BRETT CRIES A LOT BUT IN A GOOD WAY. GETTIN IN TOUCH WITH HIS EMOTIONS, WE LOVE TO SEE IT <3

[tsunonotarou]

**this start is basically just your Ly slowly losing it over Idia**

There are times where I question whether or not spending all my gems over GM Idia was a good idea or not— then I see you cry over FG Leona (I'm sorry for your loss) and I suck it up and become very grateful. Plus, I'm still not over that illustration!!!! — I don't think I'll ever be HXYCHFUVFDHFYCG

Help, I started adoring ignihyde because of how attached I am of Ortho, then I saw how Idia cherishes his brother so much and how he's willing to do almost everything for him and I just—😭😭😭 As someone who also does and feels the same way, I immediately became attached. Anyways, here I am now, crying over the Shroud brothers and maybe possibly highly likely internally screaming over Idia AGSYFUDRHB (as I was typing this the image of him in his STYX uniform just flashed in my mind and now—)

**end of whatever that was hfyxjsfjjfdc**

Great to hear that you've finished that report! Even if you procrastinated til the last minute, at least it's done, no? Now, togther, let's try to do better in managing our activities and try to avoid doing the same mistake again. Don't worry about being that awkward person when it comes to taking care of their s/o, because same. So!! This can be the start of us learning how to care for one another 😌😌😌

And I'm also very happy to inform you that I'm doing even better than last time! I think I'm finally getting used to things and I'm now able to properly manage my time as opposed to before (err, I actually did nothing productive this entire day because I convinced myself that this is my "break," hoping it wouldn't backfire). Hopefully things will go your way as well! I will personally have a chat with life and demand they let you be relaxed if I could because you deserve it 😤😤❤️

KAVDJWVAIVSID I'M ALWAYS SO VERY HAPPY WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU!! (no matter what it is, just seeing you on my dashboard makes me feel happy!! Like?? That's Sem! And she's cool and awesome and I get to call her my beloved! who's Idia Shroud anyway? ew /j)

😭😭❤️ I no longer remember where I was originally going with this ask and it's become quite lengthy so I'll just end it before it starts to lose even more sense. Please accept this final kiss to thee ( ˘ ³˘)♡♡♡

sorry this is gonna be a lot lmao im just a curious bastard,,, Risky: 3,9,10 & REALrisky: 3,6,7,10 👀

DNAIEJWB ok your mind I genuinely forgot I reblogged this lmao

Risky-

3: the last text you sent to someone

I’m talking to my bf and I said “yeah!!! I’m freakin baby” which basically sums up our convos rjauebsjhs

9: what was your first blog url

God.... fuck.... ah.... dude it’s so bad it was like a phandom blog I don’t wanna say the url bc the profile pic is a drawing of me and I don’t have the password I don’t think so I can’t change it? BUT. I will look for the password and if I can find it I’ll change the profile pic and send you the url lmao

10: if you draw or write, show some of your really old work

Fuck me running ok.... god...

You can tell I was really proud of this one bc I did a background

ANIME CAT ANIME CAT

These are both from like... anywhere from 4th grade to 6th or 7th. This is before I had developed a solid style and had decided I wanted to be good at art, so I did a lot of..... experimenting

REAL risky-

3: what’s your favorite color?

I’m kinda surprised you had to ask tbh! It’s blue :>! Like sky blue specifically, but I’m also a huge fan of aqua, lavender, and certain shades of yellow! Like pale yellows mostly

6: What’s a really good memory you have?

Um! The first things that came to mind were times I got to share a bed with my bf like. There’s not much that’s better than that. We went on vacation in Maine and we got to share a bed for a whole week, and there’s something so special about falling asleep in his arms. I’ve never felt more safe than when I’m with him, and waking up to him holding me is something I’ll always cherish!

7: favorite song you can’t stop listening to?

Aaa! Hm. This is gonna make me sound ridiculous but- “tonight, tonight” and “1979” by smashing pumpkins, “wonderwall” by oasis, and “touch tone telephone” by lemon demon

10: what’s something that made you laugh recently?

My bf and another super super good friend were making fun of me in our group chat, and I was tryna fight back by making fun of them, and my bf said “i love our dynamic, it’s like 3 crying cats in a Mexican stand off” and then made this image

(My bf is the one on the left, I’m the one in the middle, and super super close friend is on the right)

[tumblunni]

I had a really weird dream involving Dr Maddiman. Its a shame i can barely remember any of it and also it seems i woke up before it ended? Like i just had this overwhelming sense that allll the plot threads were gonna be wrapped up any second now and then BOOM awake. So just a whole bunch of random stuff happened with no real explanation at all.

It was some sort of post apocolyptic setting i think? Humanity was in these small isolated cities fighting against some sort of invading army but we never actually saw the aliens themselves. And some part of my brain was like "it makes sense its the same rules as a hairdresser and the design takes cues from a pack of AAA batteries". I have NO idea what that means! So basically everythibg was super vague and undescribed and dream-me just had a sense of already being a long time fan of this series and knowing enough to fill in the gaps. Apparantoy this was some sort of adaptation of a thing id already seen, but id been told the ending was different and more accurate to the manga? Also i wasnt actually a person watching this show i was still the protagonist of the show yet i acted like i'd been reincarnated and relived this week a million times or something

ANYWAY the way dr maddiman comes in is that he was some sort of 'brilliant but dangerous' expert the government had hired to help our fight against the aliens. It wasnt really explained why he was.. yknow.. maddiman. Like is this meant to be that ghosts also exist in this sci fi universe? Was he a half alien hybrid instead of a yokai? Was it just human maddiman with the personality of yokai maddiman due to ptsd...? In any case he didnt seem entirely tethered to the laws of reality and nobody knew exactly how he pulled off all his scientific miracles. He was treated as the only guy who could understand the mindset of the aliens, but that also made him dangerous because he trapped in the delusion of everything being okay and fun and happy and he often did evil things by accident while having good intentions. But they didnt have anyone else who'd cracked the code of the alien weaponry so they had to put up with him. He was just sorta assigned a crack team of secret agents whose job was Be The Old Man's Friend So We Dont All Die. Dont let him realise how the world is all destroyed and such, just play along with his goofyness and try and remind him to do his important work while dancing around why its important. it was super creepy how he was locked up and gaslighted like this!! And he was all 'oh im sure when im done with my ultimate experiment i can go home to my wife and kids' and yeah it was implied here that the same backstory applied :( 'distract the old man and validate his false opinion that his family is still alive and waiting for him' :( poor sci fi madds :(

Oh also for some reason he seemed to be wearing elements of Adventure era Dr Eggman's outfit? But just the general style of the coat and the wearing goggles that he never actually uses. And he had a very warm and cuddly autumnal colourscheme

Anyway i was part of the Super Secret Grampa Cherishing Division whose job was to act as his assistant but also secretly be packing a bazillion weapons to neutralize him if he poses a danger to humanity. But i started to genuinely care for the guy and question the 'any atrocity is permitted for the sake of saving the world' philosophy of my bosses. Also it was just very weird how it was this post apocolypse alien fighting action thing yet i didnt see ANY OF IT cos this story was confined to this one laboratory. It was surreal hearing about all this stuff happening offscreen!

I think Maddiman's main project was some sort of dimensional transport thing using salvaged alien tech? It was just a door in his lab that usually led to a closet but if he got it working itd teleport us straight to the alien base and save the world. And a lot of it wasnt explained but i got this great sense that itd all come together with a great twist ending evebtually but then i woke up before i got that far. Same for the reveal of this maddiman's new sci fi backstory and soooo many other dropped plot threads. Alas!

So anyway: closet. Closet with one of those bead curtain things cos i was thinking about them when i fell asleep. It was supposed to be a teleport but when it malfunctioned it had really scary negative effects warping people's biology and stuff. I remember one of the test subjects was sent in for a five day trip to a specific alternate dimension but then when they came back itd been several years and theyd had to survive in a deadly wasteland and been mutated into a hellbeast. And maddiman had a huge breakdown because he felt like his recklessness and optimism towards this experiment had caused this mistake to happen, and he'd never realized just how awful the consequences could be. He was babbling motor mouth discussing theories for where it went wrong and there was something like 'we'd only tested it for one day trips and assumed that just programming two of them would equal two days but actually with each additional number on the screen it multiplies the days by 3" And there was something about like...the bead curtain was the machine rather than the door itself? Like trying it on a bunch of different doors around the lab to try and find a way to cure this person.

And there was some sort of artificial intelligence computer with the personality of an adorable lil girl, who helped maddiman do calculations and stuff. She missed the mistake in this calculation cos her concept of linear time and the limits of human organs was kinda undeveloped. She only existed within the realm of numbers after all, and didbt even have functionality to record footage of her human friends's faces. No idea wtf a human looks like! So maddiman was lost in his desperate grief of potentially accidebtally killing or at least mentally scarring a person and the government would probably kill them now if they saw they were a super mutant. And he was sobbing and begging this AI to help, his last resort was her maybe being able to see a brainwave that he'd missed. But she was freaking out cos she didnt even fully understand why maddiman was crying let alone what to do to fix it. Eventually she did manage to find a solution theough some simple different logic thing that she had from her perspective as a computer. And that person was saved but still traumatized and maddiman had a moment of realizing just how high stakes everything was and freaking out. He was like 'whats wrong with my head, why didnt i notice that, why was i so reckless, why cant i seem to grasp basic human logic that i need right now" Having a big existential crisis of 'wait how did i even get in this lab, where's my family and why do i seem to have superpowers'. Protagonist mission: hide all the goddamn mirrors to avoid this weird ghostgramp (...aliengramp??) from realizing he's dead (..or an alien??) and losing control of himself. And everyone was running around talking about 'containment procedures' and poor maddiman didnt know that if his panic attack continued he might just straight up be killed for outliving his usefulness. So the protagonist was desperate to help him calm down and it sucked SO MUCH cos they had to lie about his past and weave the web of deception around him again for his own safety. In the end they just hugged him close until he calmed down, and all the other employees were like GASP THEY ACTUALLY TOUCHED THE EVIL DANGEROUS SUPER EVIL MAN and protag was like 'i am 1% away from slapping the next bitch who insults this grandpa'. And it was super depressing cos once he'd calmed down he seemed to start forgetting that anything bad had ever happened?? And he was really panicking and scared cos he didnt understand why he was forgetting, and he knew he had to cling onto something important but he didnt know what. And then five minutes later he was back to haha cheerful nothing is wrong and i love doing my fun science in this room im never allowed to leave. And protagonist was crying the tears that this poor gramp wasnt allowed to cry :(

Also actually i think maybe he was a ghost AND an alien? Like he was a scientist who died in some sort of tragedy back when the aliens first invaded, but along the way he'd been infected so his body got back up as a twisted combination of human and inhuman. And this was something unique to him, like he just happened to have a genetic mutation in his blood that was totally undetectable in life but happened to mix unpredictably with this alien virus to turn him into a hybrid instead of just killing him. So the government was very interested in finding a way to replicate this and create new supersoldiers, as well as just taking advantage of this dude's confused mental state that granted him a unique understanding of alien tech that made him more effective than other scientists. And, of course, also made him easy to manipulate :(

And i also had a feeling that maybe his backstory was mixed up with Adventure dr eggman? Like here it seemed he had a daughter instead of a son, and she had a similar death to Maria Robotnik where she was assasinated by the government he worked for, and it tipped him over the edge. I think Maddiman-alien-scifi-dude originally died trying to save her from being used in some sort of experiment? Like she was already dying of a disease and thats why maddiman took this job to have access to powerful government technology to try and look for a cure. But when the whole alien apocolypse happened, the evil government decided to use her for experiments cos she was 'basically dead anyway'. Theyd just lie and tell maddiman she died of her illness. So this was how they found out that this particular family's bloodline had a mutation that let them form a viable hybrid with alien dna. They were turning this poor kid into a monster in the basement while lying to her dad about her being dead! And maddiman was about to commit suicide from having no reason to live anymore, with the hell of this apocolypse world and the false impression that his kid was already dead. But somehow monster-daughter sensed this or something and broke out of containment to try and save him, and when he saw her he was able to recognise her even in her twisted state. So when the soldiers gunned her down in front of him and fed him some lies about this not being his daughter, he just completely snapped. He tried in vain to fight back and take down as many of them as possible in revenge, but well he was just a simple round dad with no ability to fight a government. So he was unceremoniously executed along with his kid and they shoved the bodies back in the lab to continue testing. "Damn that overemotional science dad, he made us execute our most valable test subject! But at least this way we can analyze his corpse to see if the mutation is passed down on the patrilineal side." But at some point during the fight, monster-daughter's blood had splashed on her dad and gotten into his bloodstream. So the seemingly dead body suddenly got up out of the morgue and started sucking people's blood or something. And this led to the current situation where they have him locked up cos he's a valuable test subject but also hey he has 100% reason to kill all of us and we're screwed if he remembers his past. Also i think the computer AI thing was his subconcious attempt to recreate the personality of his daughter even if he couldnt remember she'd ever existed :(

Anyway at some point things escalated and there was this final showdown versus both the invading aliens and the evil governmebt guys. I think there was some corrupt greedy politician dude who stole maddiman's teleporter tech and sold us out to the aliens cos he wanted money and power or something. And probably predictably the aliens just threw him off a bridge after he gave them the thing, because seriously even this evil army thinks these government dudes are too evil!

So this big actiony event was happening and Maddiman was freaking out like 'no no no i cant leave the lab everyone wpuld be mad at me, i dont even know what its like outside this room' even when he was in the middle of being attacked by aliens. He was forced to face his repressed memories to survive, and he naturally had a massive fuckin freakout! And i think maybe when protagonist character was trying to protect him he accidentally lashed out with his powers and hurt them, and he was so horrified thinking another person he cared about was gonna die because of him. Protagonist was like 'dont worry gramps its just a scratch' but he'd already freaked out and run away into the battlefield to his heavily implied death.

BUT THEN at some sort of moment of dire need, he came back all powered up and re-memoried and was like 'i have every reason to despise humanity but im not gonna let more children die because of these damn corporate monsters (and also literal monsters which are infinately less scary)" And he did some sort of great sacrifice to save the protagonist at the cost of his own life, and it was super dramatic falling from a building into a lake of fire or something. While sobbing and smiling peacefully thinkibg "did i atone for my sins? Will i be able to see my family again?" As his smiling face sunk beneath the flames and the protagonist cried out into the abyss...

Aaaaand then i dont really know what happened in the big battle and i also never found out wtf the solution was to fixing the transporter thing or how the aliens invaded or any of the million plot points that were non gramp related.

I just remember that when we all saved the day and defeated the baddies we found that maddiman had actually survived and it was a big hugs reunion. He was like "OH YEAH i totally forgot i literally already died once and regenerated from it, and this was the entire start to my story. My bad!" *shrugs inexplicably not dead arms*

So yeah in summary im glad my brain summoned up a universe where my favourite sad granddad is literally immortal now, but also why did it torment him with an even sadder plot than his original one

[tayegi]

Ohhg God Mijoo really got her I gasped thru the whole conversation I can't believe I never really noticed but oc really doesn't talk much about jimin as an individual but really as this beautiful warm light and it totally makes sense that she was just idolizing him also I was sick thru all the angst girl I just really want her to be happy but the moment in the sea!!! Oh my God I'm screaming I just gosh I'm really rooting for her :( for them :( (PS hobi is making me uncomfy nd I don't know y)

Anonymous said:BCH I am living for that friendship scene between mijoo and y/n where theyre staring at the stars ahh such a lovely scene

Anonymous said:this is the third time that i try to write this ask and i can’t still find the right words to express how much i love mijoo and the oc’s friendship. i love their interactions, i love how they both work hard to resolve a conflictual situation. i love how mijoo always tries to make the oc happy & how the oc is ready to put aside her deeper feelings in order to not hurt mijoo. there are many interesting relationships in nr but nothing will top mijoo & the oc beautiful empowering friendship

Anonymous said:honestly... i think the oc and mijoo's relationship is the most beautiful one you've written, and i've read most of your writings if not all. sure, the oc's relationship with jungkook keeps you engaged and is the main focus, but the way the oc's friendship with mijoo is written? the ups and downs? the flaws? the reading each other better than themselves? the REALISM? how female friendships really are the strongest and so lovely and amazing? idk man i just love you for this. thank you!!

Anonymous said:I love the friend relationship between Mijoo and OC but I also lowkey ship them together idk i'm confused.

Anonymous said:Lu, i'm emotional... As always. There are so many things in every chapter that makes me feel a lot of different feelings, and observing the OC relationship with mijoo totally warms my heart. I was one of those persons who hated mijoo for what she did in the past and well... thanks for open my eyes. The scenes of the OC and her in this last chapter were for me even more intenses than the kissing scene, i was actually feeling it. GREAT chapter, the end tho got my heart stopping. Lots of love 💕

Anonymous said:I want a best friend like Mijoo! We all need a Mijoo in our lives. The way she finally had enough and called the oc out for being so stubborn and stagnant in her relationship that's not a relationship was pretty intense, but I agree with you, your best friend should promote growth when they can. I love how she came back and apologized, too, without making a big fuss, just a simple "I'm sorry, I love you, and I'm always here for you" 😭 beautiful as heck!

Anonymous said:gosh this chapter just caught me off guard! the scenes with y/n and mijoo led me to tears. mijoo really loves y/n and vice versa. it's a beautiful best friend dynamic. they're both so human and flawed, they call each other out on their shit and they could end up hurting each other's feelings but at the end of the day, they'll apologize aaa i think that's the nuanced beauty of friendships! :-'(( AND THAT SCENE when y/n finally said her repressed feelings for jk out loud, god I JUST FELT THAT

Anonymous said:Me @ Me: u r doing fine and the best u can Mijoo @ Me: HoNeY wHAT iS U DoiN Me after reading their argument scene and getting “my” shit called out Me @ Me: HoNeY wHAT iS U DoiN Mijoo gave “me” tough love. “I” end up avoiding on solving my problems by wanting to drink or say some self depreciating joke and at first I was defensive bc I would act 100% like the way the character is but then pulling away from the intense scene, I was like “alright. U got me there. Gtg get my shit together.” 💋 Mijoo

Anonymous said:10 chapter. Just when I woke up. I read it. Amazing. Specially I like this part with Mijoo. Clearing the situation between two of them it was something that they needed a long time ago. And there’s only one thing left why I can’t fully compare my self to the main character. When it comes to her feelings she is speechless. And I understand that she’s afraid, but at least you can reject and don’t do what you don’t really want to. you don’t have to. Waiting for the next chapter. Love. 🍓

Anonymous said:Lu... I’m really on the verge of crying rn, I’m emotional and about to start my period and ch. 10 is the most emotionally affecting chap for me so far; I adore the way you portray female relationships in nr. The scenes with mijoo just reminded me of my own closest female friend group who are the relationships I cherish most 😭 they have been there for me since early high school and now we’re well into college and even tho we don’t see each other as often, we’re always looking out (1/3) -💝

Anonymous said:For each other and want what’s best for them 💜 like mijoo I would give up any guy in a heartbeat for them bc their friendship is truly irreplaceable. Sorry for kind of rambling,, it’s just I feel like I don’t see the depth and pure love that female friendships can have explored in fics that often which is weird bc when writing about life, I feel like female friendships are a huge part of a lot of girls’ lives!! And the part with hyejin, reminded me of how awesome girls are. I have so (2/3) -💝

I love their relationship with each other more than ever, and the thing mijoo pointed out about the OC and jimin is sooo true, is something I keep discussing with people, the difference between really liking someone and only being interested, you can't like/love someone that you don't know for reaal, like all the things mijoo pointed out! I loved that dialogue so much!!! AND THE CLIFF HANGER AT THE END, I LOVE YOU!

[apolloroid]

the communication issues i’m about to read from between bucky and static, lord prepare me.

also this is a long one so I apologize again in advance.

I am READY for the found family.

“Gotta milk that childhood trauma for everything it's worth,” oh yes absolutely, I agree.

“No. I’m just cooler than all of them,” morgan is such a stark I love it. also facts.

“I told him I’ve already got kids.” Then she looks at them. “Three of them.” MY FUCKING HEART OH GOD. A, i’m already crying goddamnit.

Saying the right thing at the right time seems to be a characteristic hero thing. And he’s kinda aiming for that profession currently. So yeah. Empathy classes, maybe. *cough cough* tony’s sassy ass begs to differ

Yeah, okay. No amount of lessons will give Harley that kinda empathy. He’ll just have to take Peter along on his superhero adventures to be his empathy translator. PETER + HARLEY DUO FUCK YEAH (AND MORGAN!)

Harley thinks he might be part of a poorly written fanfiction because the moment Peter exclaims, the door swings open again and the man of the hour walks in. cas stoppp NOT THE FOURTH WALL BREAK IM SCREAMING

pepper going “i’m not touching that with a ten foot pole” is a mood.

also my reaction to the surprise party is just *eternal screaming* because this family never fails to make me cry, me and my family issue filled ass are SOBBING.

“Happy Birthday, Junior,” AAAAAAAAAAAA followed by, *MORE SCREAMING INTO THE VOID*

He’s just standing there, breathing in and out, trying to shut his brain up. this is so relatable it’s squeezing my heart. and peter simply being there for him and talking to him is wonderful.

“Of course, I bugged your fucking phone, dude. It’s got a tracking chip too. You’re Spider-Man, man. What if you’re drowning in the middle of the Pacific. How the fuck are we supposed to find you?” and then “Oh, calm your dick, Parker. I won’t tell MJ. about your masturbation habits.” PLEASE I love the relationship between these two.

“Doesn’t mean I’m above pulling another time heist to bring you back to kill you all over again.”PROTECTIVE RHODEY PROTECTIVE RHODEY !! aaa I love him sm. thanks bby

also bucky did good.

Happy Y/n = no barging into his apartment = happy Harley. mmmhm, sure harley.

get outta here with your “self interest” bullshit. we aalll know you love your mother figure.

“Yeah. Well, thanks for that too. Poor guy thinks you guys don't like him.” Taking a sip, Harley replies, “Cause we don’t.” more facts.

Motherfucker… well, surrogate motherfucker. But you get it. HARLEY jesus

“Like I suggested?” Harley whispers, eyes fixed on the small device. ....ohhhhh fuck u cas i didn’t need no more tears.

A picture of his family. A framed picture of him with the family he’d found. wow steve, fine. you win. just as I had finally stopped crying again too.

damn honey, you did so so good.

Harleys pov was fucking fantastic, I adore his snarky commentary and the admiration and love he holds for static, he’s like a miniature tony and it makes me so incredibly soft. static taking comfort in her kids melted me. I am now a puddle, thank you. The family dynamic is just *chefs kiss* <333

Harley’s never felt more content in his life. Harley, I wanna give you a hug so so bad. cas, you write him so well.

when you said you were gonna write a static and her kids related fic, yoda, I was not expecting this. I mean I knew it was gonna be a masterpiece but holy shit you just blew me away with it.

This whole fic is fucking perfection. I don’t have enough words to describe my love for your writing, I will cherish this forever and ever. I can’t believe you made it real. I love you so so much. thank you for everything. I get to be your padawan??? damn. oh jesus i’m getting sappy, I’m gonna shut tf up now. ly.

Bucky Barnes, The Boyfriend (other one-shots) | The Falcon, The Winter Soldier and Static | Static: Get, Set, Glitch | Static Verse Masterlist

“What the hel—heck are you doing here?”

“We really ought to work on your bedside manner, Junior,” Y/n retorts walking into his apartment.

“Then how will the world know my dad left me when I was a kid?” He throws back, closing the door, he follows her. “Hey Morg.”

Morgan waves at him from over Y/n’s shoulder. “Hi Har.” She gives him a sweet smile that always manages to melt him. God. Harley would wreck anyone who even thinks about hurting her.

“Gotta milk that childhood trauma for everything it's worth,” Y/n says, nodding in agreement. Taking the child off her shoulder, she places her on the couch in front.

“Every last drop,” He affirms, walking over to drop a kiss on Morgan's head. “Question still stands, what are you doing here? Thought we were meeting later.”

Y/n begins cleaning up around the place, collecting the old plates and mugs off the coffee table and dropping them in the kitchen sink. “Dude, you barge into my place like you own the dam—darn place. And I come over an hour early and it’s a violation of the Shadow Proclamation?”

He begins washing the dirty dishes. “I used to barge into your place. Past tense. Ever since the last time—”

She chuckles, picking up his scattered clothes off the floor. “Hey, that was on you. Okay? People usually have the courtesy of knocking.”

“You were doing it on the kitchen counter, Y/n! It wasn’t even the bedroom. Do you know how unsanitary that is?” Harley exclaims. A shiver running down his back, flashes of that infamous Friday afternoon popping up in his head. God. He never needed to know what Bucky Barnes’s dick looked like… But now he did.

That day made him seriously consider making a gadget to erase memories. Like the neuralyzer from Men in Black. But the possibility of it being used by some stupid corner store supervillain stopped him from actually making it.

He might be dickhead, but he isn’t stupid.

Y/n, however, just keeps laughing. “Still on you, Junior,” she says, as she drops his clothes in the laundry basket.

“Whatever,” Harley grumbles, while Morgan gets off the couch, making her way across the small apartment to where Harley’s standing next to the sink. She picks up the stepping stool, places it next to him, and climbs up to start drying the dishes he cleans. He leans down and drops another kiss on her head. “You gonna tell me what’s wrong or are we waiting for Pete?” He asks Y/n. His tone remains jovial.

He knows something is wrong. He knew it the moment he opened the door and found her standing there with Morgan atop her shoulder. Not because it was a rare occurrence but because she usually calls before coming over or drops a text. The texts are an unspoken warning from Y/n to hide the armor or equipment he’s been working on. The funny thing is, she knows he does it, he knows she knows he does it, but neither of them has addressed it. Not since Malcolm. He doesn’t know how. And he thinks she might not either. So she texts a heads up.

And the lack thereof today is all he needs to know, she isn’t okay.

He can sense her moments halt for a second at the question and then, “Waiting for Pete,” she answers.

As if on cue, the door swings open.

“Hey! Hi! I’m sorry, I woke up late and by the time I saw your message I was already on my way over to pick up the gift but then there was this Terrible Tinkerer dude was trying to rob a bank across the street, so I got caught up with that, but I’m here now!”

“Pete?” Harley calls out, his hand stilled.

“Yes?”

Harley just points at his head.

“What?” Peter asks.

“You’re—” Y/n chimes in, pointing at her own head and then over at Peter’s.

“What?” Peter asks again, louder.

“You forgot something, Spider-man, ” Morgan supplies, laughing a little.

And then the kid finally gets it.

“Oh, shi—shoot!” He exclaims, taking the Spider-man mask off his head, looking down at his shirt and jeans. His face scrunches up in realization.

Y/n laughs, “How did you manage to walk through the streets of New York wearing just that mask with a stupid science shirt?”

Peter closes the door behind him, drops his backpack and mask next to the couch, and walks over to the fridge. He pulls out a bottle of water and chugs half of it down, before he answers, “I wasn’t walking through the streets of New York; I was thwiping.” He takes another sip. “And this is shirt is not stupid!”

“Whatever you say, Parker,” Y/n says sardonically, as she takes a seat at the small kitchen table next to the window.

Stepping up, Peter drops a kiss on Morgan’s head, “Hey Morgs. How did the ‘show and tell’ go?” He begins helping Morgan stack the dried-up dishes along with her.

“Bad,” Morgan frowns.

“Why? What happened?” Peter asks.

“Mom wouldn’t let me take dad’s helmet,” Morgan grumbles, huffing. “And then she said I couldn’t ask Tinman or Uncle Sam to come either cause they have work stuff.”

Harley can’t help the soft smile that breaks onto his face. Holy hell. The kid is too adorable. “I thought we agreed on that picture with Denny the dolphin?”

“Yes, but dad’s suit is cooler!” Morgan argues.

And like, fuck. Harley can’t argue with that one.

“Such a show-off, pumpkin,” Y/n teases from behind them.

“No. I’m just cooler than all of them,” Morgan states with such utter confidence that all three of them lose their shit and break out in laughter.

Once they finish up with the dishes, Peter and Harley take a seat opposite and next to Y/n on the small kitchen table. Morgan sits on the table itself, with her back to the wall to which the table is attached.

“You wanna talk about it now?” Harley prompts.

She exhales heavily, taking a sip from the can of coke in her hands. “I think James and I are gonna break up.”

HOLD THE FUCK UP.

“What? Why?” Peter shouts at the same time as Morgan yells out, “Nooo!”

Both of them start spewing out protests while Y/n’s eyes are fixed on the can of coke, unmoving and unspeaking.

“Shut it!” Harley’s loud enough to shut the two of them up. He looks over to Y/n, his voice calmer now, “Start from the beginning.”

“How will that make a difference?” Y/n asks, petulant.

Harley rolls his eyes. “It’ll give us context, just indulge me. Come on,” he urges.

Her head falls back, she sighs and says, “He asked me if I wanted to have kids.

“So you wanna break up?” Peter asks, confused, from next to him.

Waving his hand to shut Peter up, Harley asks, “Okay. And? What did you say?”

“I told him I’ve already got kids.” Then she looks at them. “Three of them.”

For fuck’s sake, if that doesn’t warm up Harley’s cold bitchy heart.

His dad left when he was still pissing his bed every other night. And while he was on somewhat okay terms with his mom, she wasn’t exactly getting any parent of the year awards. He was able to hide Tony Stark in his fucking shed for days without her noticing. So yeah. He doesn’t have the best parental figures.

That is until Y/n decided to induct herself into his life. Both the Starks had stayed in touch with him over the years, sending him random gifts and gadgets from time to time. But ever since the funeral, she’d seemed more determined to be a part of Harley’s life. And come on, who the fuck was gonna say no to that?

So now here he was, with a 100-year-old mother figure, ranting to him about her boyfriend troubles.

And he was thankful for every fucking second of it.

Huffing, “But?” Harley urges.

“But what?” Y/n’s tone suddenly becomes defensive. “I’ve got you guys. Why does there have to be a but?”

“Oh my g—”

Harley’s exasperated grumbling is cut off by Peter, who says, “What Harley’s trying to say is that it seems like there’s a bigger issue there. You wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t.” When Y/n’s jaw clenches, but no response comes out, Peter adds, “You’ve got us, Miss Stark. Always… Whatever you say won’t change that.”

Fuck. Maybe Harley should take empathy classes from Peter.

Saying the right thing at the right time seems to be a characteristic hero thing. And he’s kinda aiming for that profession currently. So yeah. Empathy classes, maybe.

“I know but—” Y/n cuts herself off.

“Just tell us what happened, okay? Word for word," Harley implores in a gentler tone.

“We were in the kitchen. We were baking the cake. Well, I was. He was just sitting there looking pretty...

‘You ever think about kids?’ He asked.

‘Like any kid in particular or like kids as a general concept?’ I threw back.

He laughed. ‘No. I mean like… I mean, do you wanna have kids?’

I paused for a second. ‘I have kids.’ I told him. ‘Three of them.’

‘That’s not what I meant, and you know it,’ he said casually and that kinda pissed me off.

So, I wasn’t exactly in the best mood to answer anymore. ‘Why the fuck are you asking me about this all of a sudden?’ I snapped back at him.

‘It’s just a question, sweetheart. I didn’t mean anything by it,’ he replied, getting off the kitchen table. He walked over and tried to hug me but like I said, I was pissed off. I pushed him away, finished the icing, and told him I was meeting you guys,” Y/n explained.

“So you ran off?” Peter supplies.

Nodding, she agrees, “So, I ran off.”

“Why?” Morgan asks.

“Because!”

“Because?” Harley urges.

Y/n runs a hand over her face and into her hair, gripping onto the strands in frustration. “I don’t want to have kids.”

“Okay. And don’t snap at me, okay? But why?” Harley asks, his hand held up in defense.

When Y/n glares at him, he knows he didn’t do the best job of not provoking her.

“What Harley’s trying to say is that, if you don’t want to have kids cause you don’t want to have kids, it’s fine. Of course, it’s fine. You don’t need us to tell you that. It’s your decision. Your choice, obviously… But again, it feels like there is something more to it,” Peter says in a gentle tone. “You don’t have to tell us. But if you’d like to… we’re listening.”

Yeah, okay. No amount of lessons will give Harley that kinda empathy. He’ll just have to take Peter along on his superhero adventures to be his empathy translator.

“We wanna help,” Morgan chimes in. “Please?”

Fuck! Fine. Guess he’s gonna be taking Morgan too.

Rubbing her temples, the palms of her hands come to cover her eyes. Eventually, Y/n replies, “It’s a lose-lose situation.” After a pause she adds, “Either the kid I have is gonna be part alien like me and will have to outlive everyone they love or they’re gonna be plain human and I’m gonna outlive them.” She takes in a shaky breath, “And I—I’m tired. I’m really tired of outliving people. I can—can’t lose more people.” Her voice cracks.

Fuck.

Harley’s kinda losing his shit. He’s only ever seen her cry at funerals. And this… this isn’t a funeral. This is his crappy one-bedroom New York apartment.

But this isn’t the time to freak out.

“Y/n? Hey? Look at me.” Harley puts a hand on her arm, gently.

When she finally does pull her hands away from her face, her eyes are glistening. She even sniffles a little.

Harley bites the inside of his cheek unsurely, inhaling deeply.

You’ve got this Keener. You can do this. It’s the least you can do.

“It’s bullsh—” His eyes flick over to Morgan who’s sitting cross-legged on the table, staring right at him, “crap—bullcrap. You were dealt a crappy hand and I wish I could do something about it…” A plummeting realization strikes. “But I can’t.” He exhales heavily, a little defeated. “I don’t think anyone can… I don’t know how you feel. But it sounds pretty dam—darn lonely.” He looks at her then. “But we’re here now. And what the hel—heck is the point of being afraid of what happens next? I mean, who knows? Maybe they discover immortality in a couple years? Maybe you get struck by lightning tomorrow and you don’t even live to see it.” Y/n chuckles a bit. “But we’re here now.”

She sniffles.

“No, don’t be sad!” Morgan exclaims rushing over and hugging Y/n tightly. “Didn’t you hear what Har said? We’re here now.”

Y/n pulls her closer, kissing the top of her head, “I heard, pumpkin. I’ve got you now.”

Peter gets up off his chair and embraces the two of them from behind, sniffling himself.

When Harley sits there staring at the sight—

“Get in here, Junior or so help me god—”

Yeah, yeah. Fake threat but real emotions, okay? He really didn't need a big push.

He makes a big show of how much he hates it, but joins in on the hug, a small smile breaking out on his face.

They stay like that, silent. Until—

“But you’re gonna have to talk to Sergeant Barnes about this properly. You know that, right?” Peter asks. “It’s better for you guys to talk it out. Figure out if you’re both on the same page.”

“Oooh, look at Spidey! He’s so wise. No wonder he’s a superhero,” Y/n teases.

“God! Just talk to him!”

Harley thinks he might be part of a poorly written fanfiction because the moment Peter exclaims, the door swings open again and the man of the hour walks in.

The moment his eyes fall upon the huge hugging pile around the small kitchen table, his steps halt. At first, he seems like he’s at a loss for words. But then, Bucky says, “Sorry. I was—I just um. I came to pick you guys up.” The car keys jingle in his hand.

Eventually, all five of them pile into Y/n’s car and drive over to Pepper’s place. The drive is not that long but it’s so painfully silent that Harley feels like he’s losing a couple years off his life.

He, Peter, and Morgan can’t get out of the car fast enough when they finally reach the fairly lavish house in upstate New York. Peter grabs Morgan (and his backpack) and Harley grabs Peter and they rush in.

As they enter—

“Hey—” Pepper’s face contorts in confusion, “What’s wrong?” The excitement in her tone turns to concern. He gets it. The three of them look like they are fleeing a crime scene.

But none of them have to answer because just then Bucky and Y/n follow them in, cake in hand. The tension between them is palpable enough that Harley thinks Pepper might be able to taste it.

“Oh,” Pepper mutters. “What’s that about?”

Morgan pulls on Pepper’s hand, motioning her to lean down and when she does, “Tinman wants to have babies and Y/n doesn’t,” Morgan whispers.

Pepper’s face contorts. “I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole,” she says with finality. “We don’t even have the time for it, anyway. Come on, food’s getting cold.”

She urges all five of them through the huge living room into the open kitchen where—

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY!” Screams ring out in unison.

Harley just stands there wide-eyed, taking account of all the people; his mom, Hayley (his sister), his sister’s girlfriend, Sam, Happy, Rhodey, Sarah, Sarah’s kids Aj and Cass, Peter’s aunt May and Steve.

Suddenly he feels an arm around his shoulder, a kiss dropped on his temple. “Happy Birthday, Junior,” Y/n whispers.

Once Harley’s brain starts functioning again, they all sit down at the huge dining table and cut the cake Y/n (and to some extent Bucky) made. It’s the best thing he’s ever had in his life because it’s chocolatey on the inside, with the pinkest pink icing of all time on the outside. He loves it.

He’s still a little dumbfounded at the large gathering. His mom had said she had too busy a schedule to swing by while his sister said she had a huge assignment due Monday. All that is to say, he wasn’t expecting there to be a small army of people. Hell, he really wasn’t expecting much at all. But here they were, sitting around and having lunch, like a family.

Fucking hell.

The conversation flows easily, smoothly. There’s a lot of laughter and teasing. His mom asks about his job and his sisters tell him everything about the colleges she’s applying to. May talks about the new charity initiative she’s taken on. Happy rants about stupid security protocols while Rhodey dishes out random details about government stuff that Harley almost zones out for. Sam’s telling animated stories about his adventures making the kids at the table gush. It’s all very… domestic.

Harley’s gotta take a moment.

He excuses himself and exits the kitchen to the living room.

He’s just standing there, breathing in and out, trying to shut his brain up.

“Hey?” A voice calls out from behind him, pulling him out of his trance. “You okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, Peter. Just go back in there,” Harley says dismissively, hands gripping onto the back of the couch as he leans on his arms.

Peter steps up next to him. He sits down atop the backrest of the couch. He’s facing the wall behind Harley, while Harley, himself is staring at the unlit fireplace behind Peter.

“You don’t look fine,” Peter says, setting his very cracked-up phone (that he’d been holding onto) between them. “You wanna know what I got you?”

Harley chuckles at the horrible change of topic. “Sure. What’d you get me?”

“A t-shirt—”

“Oh what a treasure—”

“—that reads ‘Harley Keener is a sore loser’.”

And Harley can’t help the laugh that he lets out in response. “Really?”

Peter laughs too, “It’s even got a picture of you shouting at me after you lost like the 15th? 17th? round of Mario Kart.”

They both laugh then.

Until Bucky and Y/n enter the room.

“You guys alright?” Bucky asks.

“We’re fine,” Harley says, standing up straight. “You two on the other hand—you need to talk. The tension in the room is killing the mood… and me. So, fix it.” He pats Peter on the shoulder, “Come on, Pete. My fries are getting soggy, let’s go.”

He begins dragging Peter away but as he does, Peter tries to go to pick up his phone and Harley just smacks his hand away. He gestures his head to make Peter leave his phone there and exits the room. But the pair doesn’t go too far.

They stand in the hallway, heads peeking out a little, trying and failing to get a look into the living room.

“What are we doing?” Peter asks, whispering.

“What does it look like we’re doing, dipshit?” Harley pulls out his own phone, “We’re eavesdropping.”

“What! Why?” Peter exclaims.

Shushing him, he pulls up the program on his phone, activating it.

As the low sounds of Y/n and Bucky’s conversation begins to filter out of his phone, Peter’s brain finally catches up.

“Did you bug my phone?” Peter asks.

He looks at Peter, incredulous. “Of course, I bugged your fucking phone, dude. It’s got a tracking chip too. You’re Spider-Man, man. What if you’re drowning in the middle of the Pacific. How the fuck are we supposed to find you?”

“That still doesn’t explain the bug,” Peter argues, nostrils flaring.

“Oh, calm your dick, Parker. I won’t tell MJ. about your masturbation habits.” And the moment those words leave Harley’s mouth, a hand grips onto his shoulder, tight. “Ow ow ow ow!!” Peter just looks at him straight-faced while squeezing the life of Harley’s shoulder. “God, fine! I’ll remove it. You can drown in the Pacific for all I care. Now, let me go, Night Monkey!”

“I think you should take the apartment,” Y/n’s voice sounds out from his phone and both men’s actions halt. All their focus is now on the couple’s conversation.

“What?” is all Bucky says.

However, Harley can imagine her spiraling, he can almost hear her pacing too.

“You like the apartment, you should take it,” Y/n tells him.

“Why am I taking the apartment? It’s our apartment!” Bucky balks at her. “And wait, you don’t like the apartment?”

“I like it, but I like New York better than I like Brooklyn,” she replies absentmindedly.

“Then why’d we buy a place in Brooklyn?”

“Cause you like Brooklyn,” she says like it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

Fuck these lovesick fools, Harley thinks, rolling his eyes.

Bucky exhales heavily. “I—I still don’t get why I’m taking the apartment?”

“Because you should have it.”

“No—no. I mean why the fuck are we talking about any of this?” Bucky’s frustration is easily audible.

“Look—” Y/n begins, hesitantly. “It’s better this way, you know? Clean break—”

Oh fuck.

“A clean break?” Bucky asks, confused.

But Y/n barrels on, “—It’s better we end it here and now.”

“End it?!” Bucky shouts, unbelieving. “You—you’re breaking up with me?”

“I—it’s—” Y/n takes a pause to grumble and then, “It’s better this way. We can save ourselves the trouble later. And this is much easier than—than us staying together for years and then you leaving me to travel back in time for a dame you’d left behind in the ‘40s, who you love more than you love me, who wants the same things that you do and—”

“Y/n!” Bucky shouts, cutting off her rambling. “I’m not Steve!” There’s a pause and then his tone is much softer, “I’m not Steve, sweetheart. I ain’t leaving. Now or ever… I’ve never loved anyone half as much as I love you. Fuck, I couldn’t even if I wanted to, and I don’t fucking want to. I’m yours, sweetheart. You’ve got me. Till the end of your days.”

“But���” Her voice cracks. “But I don’t want kids, Jamie… I can’t put a child through having to watch the people they love die and I certainly don’t want to attend another funeral for someone I raised. It hurts too much, Jamie. I can’t. I can barely breathe thinking about Morgan and Pete and Junior. I can’t. Please?” She’s crying now. Sniffles, hiccups, tears, and all. She’s sobbing. And Harley’s trying his best not to do the same. “Please, Jamie. I can’t,” she begs, sounding so fucking broken.

Shushing her gently, Bucky says softly. “It’s okay, baby. It’s okay. I’m sorry. Okay? I’m sorry. I was just asking cause I’m not sure I can have kids. Whatever HYDRA did… The point is, I don’t know if I can have kids. I just wanted to know if you did so we could work on figuring something out.”

“But you do want to be a dad,” Y/n supplies.

“One day… yeah. I’d like to be.”

“Jamie…”

“More than that, I want to give someone a home, a place to belong…”

“You mean adoption?” Y/n asks. She sounds so scared and so fucking small.

“Yeah,” Bucky admits softly. “I’d like that.” He pauses for a second. It’s a heavy silence and Bucky probably interprets it as a dismissal of the idea. “But if that’s not what you want we can—”

But see, Harley knows Y/n. He knows her well enough to know, she absolutely loves picking up strays.

“I’d like that too,” She states, cutting him off. “I’d like that a lot, actually.”

“Oh,” Bucky breathes out. “Good…” He sounds so fucking relieved that both Peter and Harley let go of the breath they’d been holding. “Does that mean you’re not breaking up with me anymore?”

She lets out a watery laugh but there is no response other than that.

Until—

“Are they—?” Peter asks.

“Making out?” Harley supplies. “Yeah. Probably.” He hears a moan. Instantly closing the application on his phone, he shudders. “Okay, yeah. We’re done here.”

And with that, they yeet themselves away from earshot at the speed of light. Peter’s cracked phone is a casualty of war that can be retrieved later.

Eventually, all of them move out into the backyard, yes the horny couple included. There’s soft music playing while everyone has beer bottles in their hands. The warm glow of the garden lights along with the setting sun makes everything look so serene, Harley’s never felt more content in his life.

As he comes out of the kitchen onto the porch, two fresh beers in his hand, he spots Rhodey approach Bucky with a suspicious look in his eyes. And he’s not missing out on this shit for the world. Watching Bucky Barnes get ‘the talk’ is a dream Harley’s had since the day Y/n told him about the whole thing.

So he rushes over.

“You’re gonna give him the talk?” He asks Rhodey, handing him one of the beers.

“The talk?” Bucky asks, looking at them.

“You know, ‘you hurt her, he’ll kill you’ talk?” Harley remarks.

“I think if I hurt her, she’ll kill me,” Bucky replies honestly, making both men chuckle.

“Yeah, fair enough,” Rhodey acquiesces. “Doesn’t mean I’m above pulling another time heist to bring you back to kill you all over again.”

Bucky nods, “If I hurt her, I’ll help you do it.”

Fucker’s making it so hard to bully him.

“What you have to get is that Tony was her whole world. And she lost him,” Rhodey says, looking over at her, voice thick with emotion. “I didn’t think I’d get to see her smile like that ever again.” There’s so much genuine affection in his voice, Harley’s almost mesmerized. “Don’t ruin it.”

“I—” Bucky begins, tentatively. “When you go through the kinda shit I went through, you learn to cherish every single little good thing that you can get your hands on. And she’s the best damn thing that’s ever happened to me, man. I don’t intend on ruining that.”

Rhodey nods. “Good to know that we’re on the same page.” He slaps Bucky’s shoulder once. “This makes you part of the Starks, you know?”

“Does it?” Bucky asks with a smirk, sipping on his own beer.

“Yeah. And you know what that means?” Rhodey asks rhetorically. When Bucky cocks his head, Rhodey answers, “Means if you ever need anything, you call.”

Bucky nods in understanding. And satisfied with the response, Rhodey walks away.

Harley tsks, “I thought you were in for an ass-reaming.”

Bucky laughs. “Sorry to disappoint, Keener.”

There’s a brief pause and then—

“You know you owe me big time, right?” Harley asks.

“Yeah, about that… Thanks. She told me you guys talked—”

“What? No! Not that!” Harley exclaims, cutting him off. “That’s not what I was talking about. Besides, that was mostly in my self-interest anyway.”

Happy Y/n = no barging into his apartment = happy Harley. See? Self-interest.

“Uh-huh,” Bucky hums, unconvinced. “What were you talking about?”

“Him!” He points over to the blond Super Soldier talking to Peter, with a beer in his hand wearing a shirt that is definitely too tight for him. “I invited Steve, for you.” He looks back at Bucky, “You owe me.”

Bucky lets out a laugh. “Yeah. Well, thanks for that too. Poor guy thinks you guys don't like him.”

Taking a sip, Harley replies, “Cause we don’t.”

“Cut him a little slack, come on. He lost a lot in that fight with Thanos. And he was here when we weren’t,” Bucky argues.

“So was I,” Harley throws back, “And so did Y/n. But she didn’t run back to the past… She stayed. She didn’t just leave.”

Bucky looks at him intently for a second and then, “He’s been calling us nonstop for three weeks trying to figure out what to give you. He’d dragged me to like seven shopping malls. I think he might have developed an online shopping addiction while he was at it, cause he kept sending links to Y/n till like 4 in the morning.”

“What does that have to do with—”

“Means he cares, Har.”

“Or means that he wants to buy my allegiance.”

“If he cares enough to buy it, means he cares. He doesn’t need you to like him. Trust me, he doesn’t care much for being liked. He cares only for what he believes in. And he believes that he needs to make it right. Not just with her, but also with you… So, just give him a chance?”

Harley’s speechless. Which he has to admit is very fucking rare.

Bucky places a hand on his shoulder, comforting, calming, “We’re not leaving, Har. You’ve got us.”

Nodding, he sniffles. “Don’t get sappy on me, old man. I wasn’t in charge of the guestlist for my surprise party.”

Bucky chuckles. “Yeah, but you let him stay. Knowing you, I was expecting you to throw him out… but you didn’t. So…”

Suddenly something clicks. “I didn’t do it for you,” Harley tells him, brows furrowing.

Bucky smirks. “Sure you didn’t.”

“I didn’t.”

“Sure.”

“Barnes!”

“What?” Bucky asks, casually.

“I don’t even like you, dude,” Harley says.

And the fucker just keeps smirking. “Whatever you say, Iron Boy.”

Oh. You don’t go for the moniker, the moniker is sacred. This means war.

“What makes you think I like you?”

Bucky shrugs, “I’m the closest thing you’ve got to a father figure, Har. Course you like me.” He smiles coyly.

Motherfucker… well, surrogate motherfucker. But you get it.

“Well, can you go to the 7Eleven to get scratchers and never come back either?” Harley throws back, with absolutely no heat.

Bucky begins laughing heartily almost spilling his beer.

“Exploiting that childhood trauma again, I see,” Y/n says, cutting in and wrapping her arms around Bucky.

“I think there’s still time till the novelty wears off,” Harley retorts, as he watches Steve join in with Peter and Morgan in tow.

“Well I’d like to disagree,” Sam calls out, coming to stand next to Harley, hand over his shoulder. “I think it’s getting a little stale.”

“Ouch,” Harley sneers. “Way to rub it in, Captain. Not like I’ve got abandonment issues or anything.”

All of them laugh a little.

“Why are we gathered here, anyway?” Harley asks, looking around at the small circle.

“Gift time!” Morgan exclaims from Peter’s arms.

“Oh. Well, hit me,” he says.

Sam, Bucky, Steve, and Y/n exchange knowing looks, and then, Y/n pulls out a flash drive from her back pocket, handing it over to Harley.

“What’s this?” Harley asks, accepting it.

“The schematics for all of the Iron Man suits Tony made before he—” She cuts herself off. “The last one he was working on had retroreflective panels.”

“Like I suggested?” Harley whispers, eyes fixed on the small device.

She nods, moving closer to Bucky, who grips onto her tighter. “Thought these would help you out with your own suit,” she adds.

“We’re not suggesting you become a superhero tomorrow,” Sam chimes in. “But at some point...”

“Till then, you could join us on missions from time to time,” Bucky says. “If you’d like that.”

Before he can start screaming yes at the top of his lungs, he looks at Y/n, “You okay with this?”

“Can’t hold you back forever, Junior,” she replies, wearing a soft smile. “Just needed time… Told you I’d help. Didn’t I?”

Harley finally lets out a triumphant chuckle in disbelief. “Fu—Fudge yeah!” He responds to Bucky’s earlier question.

Sam pats his back once, smiling, “Welcome to the team, Iron Lad.”

“It’s not fair though,” Morgan chimes in, frown on her face. “I’m the only one left out.”

Sam reaches over to drop a kiss on her head, “Don’t worry about it, shortcake. You Starks have a habit of making your way into the hero business. You’ll come along in no time.”

“I hope it’s a long time though, like a really long one,” Y/n looks at Morgan, “Please, pumpkin. Your aunt’s heart can only take so much of you guys growing up.”

As Morgan grumbles in protest, Steve clears his throat, catching everyone’s attention.

“You’ve something to say, Old Man Rogers?” Harley taunts.

“Yeah, actually.” Fumbling Steve pulls out a small wrapped-up gift and hands it over to Harley. “I know you don’t like me… And that’s more than fair. But um—I don’t know. I was hoping maybe you could give me a chance to prove myself?”

Harley’s eyes flicker up to Bucky who gives him a knowing smile.

Looking back down at his hands, he takes the wrapping paper off.

“I didn’t know what to get you. I—I was gonna get you one of those new game stations? PlayStation? I don’t know. Whatever those things are. But then I thought it’d look like I’m trying to get you to like me… Which I technically am. But I don’t want to do it like that. I just wanna prove that I’m sticking around… and that I’m so very sorry.”

As Steve rambles, all Harley can do is stare at the photo frame in his hand. It’s a picture taken at the aquarium. He remembers the day clearly. Morgan had created enough of a fuss to gather up the whole gang into taking her to see Denny, the dolphin. There was no special occasion or reason to celebrate, the trip was purely to indulge the whim of the world’s most adorable 4-year-old. And they all did it happily.

It was a candid picture; Sam was laughing at Bucky who looked like he wanted to stab someone, while Y/n was snickering right next to the Captain with Morgan atop her shoulders. Peter was trying his best not to break out laughing as well while Harley was smirking smugly. For the life of him, he couldn’t remember the joke and he couldn’t remember when Steve had clicked it. But here it was, framed and gifted to him.

A picture of his family.

A framed picture of him with the family he’d found.

Fine, he was choked up. Okay?

Kudos to Steve Rogers cause Harley was having a really hard time even breathing, with how close he was to just break down and crying with how overwhelmed he felt.

“You like it?” Steve asks, hopeful.

Clearing his throat, rubbing his nose to seem nonchalant and failing miserably, he says, “Well, better than the Playstation, at least. I’ve already got that.”

And finally, the tension seeps out of Steve’s shoulder as he lets out a chuckle. “Okay, yeah. Good.”

“Are you—are you gonna cry, Har?” Peter teases.

“You bet your Spider bitten as—butt I am! What’re you gonna do about it?”

While a couple of his happy tears slip out, all of them laugh a little. Morgan makes grabby hands at him, offering to wrap him up in comfort and he gives in happily. As he stands there surrounded by people he loves, he can’t help but feel like this was the best birthday he’s ever had.

u??? are gonna make me cry???? THANK YOU SO MUCH. It really means so so much that people like you stuck through this journey and experienced it along side me, and it really makes me feel like my writing means something. You sending this makes me happy beyond belief and this sort of response keeps me inspired and looking towards a future when i can public books and reach a wider audience. I wasn’t planning on writing a sequel but the responses like yours really inspired me to and i’m so glad i decided to do it, cuz i’m already exited even though i wont start writing for a while. I’m working on some original stuff now and idk if i’ll post it to Ao3 but if i do i hope to see you there!

again, i can’t begin to thank you enough for keeping me inspired and full of love for my writing.
