Hiii! 28 fem here, I'm **not** replacing anyone, just looking for anyone who would be interested in more stories with me. I have more time to write so if you are 21+ please don't hesitate to send me a dm! Mostly fandom stuff but willing to do original characters as well! I love talking ooc, it helps keep me engaged and I love plotting and collaborating! Can do some days of rapid fire responses, other times it might take a few days. I know real life comes first and I will always be patient so no worries. Would love to hear from you!

Here are some of the fandoms with pairings/tropes I like:

**Spock/Kirk** - Wholesome sci-fi adventures, potential for shorter procedural missions, would ideally want to expand and write other members of the enterprise as needed (such as Bones, Sulu, Nyota, Chekov, Scotty, Nurse Chapel, etc.), would play/write either characters

**Charles/Erik** - Friends to Lovers to Enemies, would do either post xmen first class cherik or would do older versions of them, darker themes, I would prefer to write Erik in this because I don't think I can do the optimistic Charles justice, we need to plot further with this one cause I would be down for lots of ideas

**Deadpool/Spider-Man** - slooooooow burn to even get to friends then maybe 🌈, would mainly start as Deadpool and Spider-Man running into each other doing work/patrols in the city and mexican food, prefer to write as Deadpool but would be willing to write Peter

**Deadpool/Wolverine** - post movie, Logan has nightmares, differences in their timelines, Logan visits this universe's version of the X-Men. Would be open to writing either.

**Harry/Hermione** - my preference would be to start sometime during deathly hallows after Ron left and Harry and Hermione are still dealing with the Horcrux, and writing either is good with me

**Hannibal/Will** - MURDER HUSBANDS 4EVER, post fall, (or I also have very many ideas for this ship, oh man), I would loooove to play Will for once in my friggin life but I would also understand that your sweet soul could not handle Hannibal and I have experience writing hanni

**Lestat/Louis** - set season 2 finale, during the hurricane, sweet *sweet* depressing vampire cuddles while mourning our daughter crying blood, but I get that's a LOT to start so also start of s3 rockstat era, Louis doing Lestat's makeup, would write either, genuinely love these two, tho more experience writing Lestat

**Daniel/Armand** - devil's minion era, or post season 2 TV show devil's minion, Armand IS ALICE au(?), open to writing either (would also do a one shot for Daniel/Louis)

**Crowley/Aziraphale** - I prefer writing Crowley but that's cause I have a very specific view of him and his feelings for Aziraphale, however I do like writing Aziraphale too, post season 2, or lots of different ideas for this one too

**Joker/Akechi** - set p5r term 3, OR Akechi has a palace that they do after Sae’s palace and before Shido’s cause I think Akechi should get to do a patricide, or whenever joker sleeps and goes to the Velvet Room, Akechi is there or they know they are the two tricksters from the start and Joker starts in the metaverse with Akechi and Joker knows about Akechi’s murders but Akechi is his only family until he finally meets the phantom thieves and starts to pull away from Akechi and wants to turn him in

**Lucy/The Ghoul/Cooper Howard** - post season finale as they track down Kyle McLaughlin and figure out what is happening, would probably prefer to play The Ghoul but I would also like Lucy too so IDK not a hard preference actually

**Hughie/OC** - AU he leaves the boys and lives a normal life and is cherished for ONCE in his ridiculous existence, would be fine with either male or female OC just not starlight sorry Annie January you have a cool name but your powers kinda suck and ur personality is idk I just think him and Kimiko would have been cute 🥰

**Homelander/OC** - again I'm fine with male or female and would prefer to write the OC but am open to it. OC could be someone new joining The Seven or someone he somehow met during his childhood or honestly even Sage or Hughie if it's needs to be a canon character for you

**Tyrion Lannister/Daenerys Targaryen** - rewind a few seasons, take things slower then follow the journey to King's Landing and the Red Keep, maybe when they first met, would write either but have more experience as Daenerys. (Sidenote: I also ship Jorah/Dany and Tyrion/Varys so same thing)

**AU / Tropes** I like and would do with ANY of the ships and characters above or even OCs:

Soulmate AU

Hanahaki disease

Teammates/Roommates

Childhood best friends

Enemies-to-lovers

Coffeeshop (always - one exists in every fandom and ship)

Stockholm syndrome 🕊️

Powers OR (No Powers for fandoms that have supes, mutants, magic, etc. )

Amnesia where person A wakes up and doesn't remember person B but wrongly (rightly) assumes person B is their spouse/significant other or just memory loss of critical moments

If you're interested at all, my dms are open! Thank you! 🖤🫶🏼🩵

Keep On Rolling - MV1

Chapter Six

Summary: Lando's best friend having feelings for anyone on the grid? Impossible, right? She worked with them, sharing her friendship with the grid with the world via the FormulaY/N youtube channel.

After film a video including... spicy water (alcohol), everything changes between her and a certain world champion. Good thing she hasn't had a crush on him since his F1 debut, right?

Right?

Series Masterlist

A/N: I've actually had the best day (and it's only midday)! Did a couple of hours of studying, completing one of my essays, went to the outlet shop and found my perfect pair of cargos (my friends all look for xs so I feel bad when we go retail therapying, but I went alone and I'm so happy)

Silverstone. Lando's home race. Y/N couldn't wait. Ever since she was a little girl, Silverstone had been one of her favourites. When they were kids, Y/N's father had taken her and Lando to Silverstone. It was the first race Y/N had ever attended, and the race that let Y/N fall in love with Formula One.

It had been a full month since Y/N had last spoken to the current world champion. Y/N didn't know why Max wasn't speaking to her. Or answering her text messages. He'd been missing out of Y/N's life completely for the last month.

For once, Y/N had nothing special planned for Silverstone. Just a simple Q and A video.

Y/N missed the Friday free practice. Where she'd usually be there to watch Lando and the rest of her friends (namely Charles), but, this time, she was at home with her family.

British families had some weird traditions and Y/N's family was no exception. Every Sunday in the winter months they ate a huge roast dinner and every Sunday in the summer was reserved for having a barbeque.

With a job like Y/N's, she didn't much get to see her family. She was always away at the grand prix or the city hosting them. Her family missed her, sure, but they knew she was living her dream. So, whenever she was home, Y/N made sure to visit them.

Y/N sat at the dining table, checking her phone. Nothing from Lando, nothing from Charles, nothing from Danny. Nothing from... Max.

That was the most upsetting thing. Y/N hadn't spoken to Max in so long. She didn't realise she'd miss him until he disappeared. There had been a couple of times where she'd text him, but he'd only read it, not respond. Y/N was getting desperate. Desperate to hear from him, but they weren't in a place where she could beg. Right?

"Dinner!" Y/N's mother shouted as she and her brother ran in the dishes. Chicken, potatoes, sprouts, carrots, parsnips and more. Y/N's mother always went above and beyond with roast dinner. It was a whole performance for her.

Y/N allowed her mother to plate up her food. It was something she loved doing whenever Y/N was home, her way to welcome her back. "Mum, do you think we can watch the free practice?" She asked as her mother placed a Yorkshire pudding onto her plate.

"What? No way!" Her brother suddenly shouted across the table. "If Y/N gets to watch formula one I get to watch football!"

"Neither of you are watching anything. Y/N is going to make the most of being here with us before she makes her way up to Silverstone, okay?"

Y/N's mother was not a scary woman, not by any means. But, when she commanded something, it happened. Y/N and her brother nodded as they tucked into their food.

Y/N checked her last messages to Lando and Max beneath the table. Lando hadn't yet seen her message, but Max hadn't responded. A small part of her wanted to throw her phone at the nearest wall, but she didn't. Instead, Y/N slipped her phone back into her pocket and tightened her hand in a fist, nails digging into her palm.

Her family could tell something was wrong. Normally it was non-stop chatter about the world of the paddock. But, aside from her request to watch the free practice, Y/N didn't talk about formula one at all. Even when her brother tried to ask, Y/N answered with single words.

That night, in her childhood bedroom, Y/N looked at the pictures of her and Lando. Them in school, them at Lydden Hill for Lando's Karting career. Silverstone when Lando was in F2, Lando when he first joined McLaren and that was it. The rest of the pictures were in Y/N's own apartment, a place she hardly saw the point in paying for when she rarely lived there.

Her phone began to ring. Picking it up, Y/N placed it to her ear. "Hey, Lan," she said to her best friend as soon as she answered.

"How's your mum? How's your brother? How's the cat?" He asked quickly.

The cat in question was currently sleeping on Y/N's bed. The moment she moved out, the cat began living in her room, sleeping on her bed or in the empty closet.

"Mum is good, brother is good, cat is good," she said, sitting beside the cat and stroking her fur. "How was free practice? I tried to watch on the television but Mum wouldn't let me."

Lando told her all about free practice and how his day at Silverstone had been. He told her about the media things she and Oscar had to do, the fun he and Carlos had been having and more.

When he fell silent, Y/N found herself asking a difficult question. "Lan, is Max okay?" She asked him. "Does he hate me or something?"

"No," Lando answered quickly. "Why would he hate you?"

"Can you tell him to answer my texts then please."

Lando didn't answer that. How could he, when he was the reason for Max's silence? But, he couldn't tell Y/N, either. He could tell her that he was the reason Max was refusing to speak to her. So, Lando took it in a different direction.

"What's going on with you and Max?" He asked. His tone was genuinely curious, leading Y/N away from his crime.

Y/N shook her head. "Lan, nothing. Nothing is going on with Max and I. He was just the only person who let me interview him in Monaco. He just happened to be the person who helped me out after the drunken quiz video. Why does that mean something has to be going on with us?"

Again, Lando didn't answer. Guilt ripped through him. He was selfish, a selfish little boy. He drove Max away from Y/N just because he didn't want to lose his best friend

Lando was quick to end the call. He said his goodbyes and left Y/N to it. Max liked Y/N, he knew that much. But did she like him? God, he felt like a child back in secondary school as he thought about it.

***

"Hey guys, welcome to the Silverstone weekend," Y/N said to the camera as she sat on her bed with her cat in her lap. "As you can see, we are not in a hotel room for once. We are actually in my childhood bedroom and we have a visitor." Y/N held the cat up to the camera and waved her paw.

"Today we're going to be going in with a Q and A video," she said, pulling up her phone. "I know a lot of you have a lot of questions around how and why I do what I do, and I'm going to answer them all."

She went into her twitter and pulled up her first question. "Right, question one. How did you meet Lando?" She read and put the phone down. "Oh, what a story this is," she said and let out a little laugh. "When Lando and I first met each other, we hated each other. We were eleven years old, both starting at secondary school. In maths we got sat beside each other, and it all kicked off from there.

"Lando was so loud! Seriously, he did not stop talking. And he spread his stuff to my side of the desk, which really pissed me me off. So, I told him to shut up and he told me to bleep off, and then we became best friends."

The cat in her lap was purring as Y/N stroked her. She grabbed her phone and checked for the next question. There had been a lot on there asked about the nature of her relationship with Charles and her relationship with Max. They were things she wouldn't get into, only because it would make the situation so much worse.

"Ah, what do you do when you're not travelling around?" She read and put the phone back down. "Well, I travel to the grand prix and then I explore the city the grand prix is held in with my friends. These bits I don't usually film, but I'm considering doing city vlogs. If you guys would like to see this, drop a comment."

Y/N went on and on, reading through the questions. There were many about hers and Lando's friendship, many that allowed her to grab pictures of little Lando from the wall.

"What is your favourite quote from anyone on the grid at the minute?" She read.

It made her grin. "Well, I've got one that I use all the time which is when Charles says 'Lando we can be world champions', but I'm a big fan of those noises Danny makes? You know, 'ki ki ki ra!'" She shouted.

There was a noise from downstairs, her mother shouting a complaint.

After getting through at least twenty of the questions, Y/N checked the time on her phone. "Oh my," she gasped when she saw how late it was. Or, rather, how early in the morning it was. "I guess that's the end of the video," she said to the camera. "Thank you guys for watching. Like, subscribe and I'll see you at Silverstone," she said and got up to switch off the camera.

Voglio passare il resto della mia vita con te. L'amore è un viaggio non una destinazione ★🎸🎧⋆｡ °⋆𖦹✮₊ ⊹

Genre: Angst, Fluff

AU: University!au, Nonidol!au

Pairing: Ex!Jungwon x Reader, Brother’s Best Friend!Jay x Reader

Warnings: N/A

Word Count: 7,671

Synopsis: Diving into your first long-term relationship was scary and the breakup left you traumatized, probably because it happened over text, and from then on you vowed to never wear your heart on your sleeve ever again, but a certain raven-haired male promised to change your perspective.

Your relationship with Jungwon wasn’t precisely the dreamy or ideal relationship you had hoped for but as someone who had almost no experience, put that and being a people pleaser together, and you have whatever is left of your so-called relationship. 

It’s not like Jugwon was a bad person or anything the boy was quite the softy, so he’s probably just as overwhelmed as you are when it comes to dating. The latter part of the relationship consisted of you trying to understand him as best as you could, that was until inconsistencies started popping up a lot more.

Jungwon felt distant, he was more busy, despite the two of you being in the same major. At the beginning of your relationship, it was sweet and full of first times. Jungwon used to hold your hand, his other one holding your bag, as you would walk to the diner across campus and stay there for hours just talking about your day.

The soft gazes he’d give you whenever your eyes met, the flowers he’d give you on a random day, and the late-night calls wherein one of you ends up asleep. It was like a broken record that rewind itself during the late hours when you would start to question his love for you.

Those moments seem like old memories to you now as you see another apologetic text from your boyfriend. Another text where he promised to make it up to you and that he’d do better next time, it was starting to become a routine where you got stood up by him. 

You wondered what on earth would keep your boyfriend so busy, especially when you both had ended up together because you took the same classes. You weren’t a slacker and always got your work done on time, so things weren’t adding up, especially when you both always tried to help one another.

The week after your midterms, you decided to visit your family and stay at home for a little bit. Your family lived thirty minutes away from campus and you honestly couldn’t bother to make a drive that long every day, so you opted to stay on campus to save time, but on occasion, you would suck it up for a few days whenever your dorm felt too tight. Today was one of those days, but it felt a lot worse than you’d like.

“Hey, I’m gonna go stay at my family’s for the weekend, and on Monday, just try not to make a mess here or anything.” You say to your roommate, Hanni, who nods without looking at you. Your roommate had an annoying habit of not looking at people whenever she was focused on her work, but you grew quite used to it and just shrugged it off after a few months.

“Yeah, don’t worry about it. I only ever have Minji or Wonyoung over so no mess and no broken belongings. Have fun and say hi to Jake for me if you see him will ya? Drive safe Y/n,” Hanni finally turns to you from her bed and you laugh. 

Jake was a good brother and had a heart of gold, but you couldn’t handle your friends gushing over him in front of your face, it just felt weird when you grew up right beside him, the image of a younger Jake picking his nose suddenly registering itself into your brain as you cringed. You couldn’t care less about who he’d date though, it was none of your business anyway. As long as he doesn’t end up hurt or hurting anyone, your brother was free to be with who he liked.

“Sure, I’ll leave a word when I see him. Tell me if anything comes up, and now I’ll get going! Bye Hanni!” You picked up your backpack and made the short walk to your car, ready to go home and lay on your childhood bed, which was admittedly more comfortable than the one you had in the dorm.

You text Jungwon about going to your family’s place, and the boy follows up with a thumbs-up emoji and an ‘I love you, stay safe’ text. Your boyfriend didn’t have much to say anyway, and you were starting to grow bored with the way things were going.

He probably felt the same way and you couldn’t blame him when you couldn’t keep your mouth shut either, since you seemed to be the only one exerting effort at this point. He might even find you annoying now but didn’t have the heart to tell you because he was just that nice.

“Breaking up is honestly super tempting right now and I honestly can’t stand it anymore! It’s driving me mad, Jake” You whine as you stop at the intersection that leads into your neighborhood. 

You didn’t mean to rub it in or anything, but you did live in a wealthier part of town, which explained the long drive home, and you were so glad to see the familiar area after a stressful trip. It just so happened that halfway through the drive, your poor brother had to endure fifteen minutes of your rambling like some counselor even though he simply just wanted to check up on you.

“Y/n, just break up with him then, simple. It’s been months since you started telling me about how bad it’s getting, and honestly, I’m horrified to hear about what else is to come once you get here. I love you so much, really I do, but this boy is full of empty promises and lies,” Jake sighs. The light turns green and you finally drive into your street, completely forgetting you were on the phone.

“Fuck don’t ignore me like that, I know how much you both liked your sweet puppy love phase, but get a grip Y/n. Jungwon is draining you, and he’s probably just as tired as you are. It’s time to stop hanging on that year you both had,” You pull into your driveway and click your tongue. Your brother was right, but you hated the thought of not having Jungwon around anymore. It was all easier said than done, especially when you felt incomplete without him. 

“I see your ass in the driveway, mom and dad went out to get food so you have a fuck ton of explaining to do.” You see Jake in the window and laugh before honking at him, scaring the living daylights out of him in the process.

“I’ll be in, like five. Let me get my bag ok? And tell Layla I’m here, I missed her.” You turn the engine off and grab your bag from the back, a wave of comfort and warmth washing over your form as you look at the house.

“Anyways, I kind of want to break up with him because I think he’s tired of me and maybe I did become quite annoying. Unless I’m invalidating my feelings and gaslighting myself into thinking I’m the problem,” You go on. 

At this point, it was past dinner time and you and Jake were in your room, dressed for bed and still talking about your problems. Poor Layla looked ready to curl up beside you and sleep but was forced to stay awake because of how miserable you were over some boy.

Jake grimaced and set down a makeshift bed for the poor dog to lie on before turning to look at you with a concerned expression. “I think the latter, but you can be the judge of that. Now-” Jake was cut off by your phone chiming and you turn to look at who on earth was texting you at one in the morning.

Your face turns pale as you look at the screen, and this automatically worries Jake, but his expression immediately hardens as he knows who it could be from. “It’s from him isn’t it?” You nod slowly, the tears starting to fall from your eyes, dripping down your cheeks and onto the comforter you were on.

From: Woniee🐈

I think we need to break up. This relationship is holding me back and it’s starting to feel like a chore, I’m sorry I couldn’t do enough for you Y/n. I started to grow bored and you irritated me to no end, I don’t even think we would work even if we tried. This is my last goodbye to you, I’m sorry again that it had to end this way but I’m still young and feel like I’m not ready for something as serious as this.

You showed Jake the message, only then realizing that your number was also blocked, preventing you from saying anything more. You were shocked, your mouth hanging wide open as sobs started to come out. A year, a year went to waste with the person you thought would understand you best, the person you thought would hold your heart close to his, only for him to break it. The person who did the most and still managed to disappoint you.

Jake held you close and you cried into his chest, Layla was suddenly on the bed licking your face and the world fell still at that exact moment. The moment you vowed to never trust anyone with your heart ever again.

You were a mess the rest of the semester following the text, crying on the couch the entire weekend as Jake tried to console you, along with your oldest brother, but nothing worked. You did go to class as normal, but you completely shut everyone out and limited socializing to only your family and roommate until after finals. 

Your break was coming up, and you were honestly relieved, to say the least. Hanni was on the other side of the room getting ready to go home to see her family as well, packing up everything on her side in the process, but then you hear her huff as a pillow hits your head, interrupting the silence that was shared.

“What the fuck Pham?” You whined, taking the pillow and hugging it. Hanni plants herself on the spot next to you, you look at her with a frown as she laughs. 

“I’m gonna miss you roomie, but I’ll visit you often next year. Now stop frowning, Jungwon was an idiot for breaking up with you. How you managed to get through the rest of the semester, I will never know, but you should go put yourself out there again! There’s bound to be another guy ready to treat you better, so stop moping ok? I know it’ll be hard, but I promise it’s not that bad. Have a bit of fun with it,” You pout at Hanni’s words. 

She was right, but the breakup over text fiasco left you traumatized. Jungwon wasn’t the best boyfriend, and you both had your moments, but you weren’t ready to trust someone again just yet. What if it ends the same way, or even worse? What if you were too boring? Questions swirl through your mind but Hanni snaps you out of it.

“Hey, take it easy. Let’s hang out over break, just us girls showing Jungwon what he’s missing out on! Can you believe he left you? You’re a gem Y/n, a lot more people want you than you think. Now hurry up and pack the rest of your things!” You take in Hanni’s words and nod.

It would be hard, but taking baby steps and meeting new people wouldn’t hurt. No rushing into serious connections just yet.

When you got home that day, you were happy enough to lay on your bed once again, all worries and concerns gone for the next few months. Suddenly, you hear a knock at the door and see Jake walking in. You raise your eyebrow at him and Jake chuckles awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

“I hope you don’t mind, but I was wondering if maybe we can hang out? Like all of your friends and mine,” Jake looks down and plays with his fingers nervously. You were confused by his proposal but urged him to continue.

“I hope you don’t mind, but I was wondering if maybe we can hang out? Like all of your friends and mine,” Jake looks down and plays with his fingers nervously. You were confused by his proposal but urged him to continue.

“Look, I like Hanni and Sunghoon has a huge crush on Wonyoung. Can you at least help us? Please? Look, I’ll take you shopping and even buy you food if I have to,” Your brother sounded like he was pleading almost so you really couldn’t help but feel bad.

“Jake it’s ok, I’ll take you up on the shopping, now give me a date so I can tell the girls.” You smiled softly. Jake punches the air and you laugh at his antics, you knew Hanni also had the biggest crush on him so setting them up would be a breeze. Wonyoung was a mystery you had yet to uncover though.

“I barely know your friends though, like I’ve seen Heeseung but who the hell is Sunghoon and how does he know about Wony?” Jake lies down beside you on the bed and opens his phone, showing you a picture of him and two other guys.

Jake then starts pointing out the two new faces to you. The lean and prince-looking one was Sunghoon and the broader, expensive-looking guy was named Jay. You couldn’t help but pay much more attention to Jay, he was really attractive and you wanted to get to know him.

“Anyways, they’re the two new people in my frat. They’re super cool and like-” “Are you gonna bring Jay?” You cut him off mid-sentence, still in awe at Jay. Jake’s brows knit and he rolls his eyes at you whilst you stick your tongue out at him.

“What happened to not dating? Come on Y/n, be serious,” You slap Jake’s face jokingly, the male shouting from beside you. You didn’t want to get your heart broken again, but putting yourself out there wouldn’t hurt, as long as it didn’t get too serious, you were going to be ok.

“Shut up, it’s not like it’s gonna be a super serious thing just yet. Jay looks hot ok, I just wanna get to know him, have a little fun and get a bit of attention again,” You were ass at lying, so Jake could only laugh at you.

“I trust you with him, Jay’s a very reserved guy if that’s important to you. He’s also super single because he’s waiting for the right person,” Jake smirks at you.

Reserved? Waiting for the right person? On top of all that he’s cute and your brother trusts him with you? It sounded too good to be true. You were happy for a moment, but doubts started to cloud your mind once again. He sounded like a good guy, but how long until he becomes like Jungwon and gets bored of you? It was starting to scare you again.

“Jake, I don’t know-” Your brother gives you a serious look and sits up.

“I hope you understand that he’s not Jungwon, Y/n. Not all relationships are going to be like your last unless you try to take that leap. I promise you, he’s not a bad guy. Like, if he hurts you, I’ll hurt him because you mean a lot to me” You nod at Jake, finally thinking positively and securely. Not everyone is going to be like Jungwon, you knew that, but your memories and feelings for the boy held you back.

“Now, how does nineteenth sound?” Jake asks. You text your friends, immediately getting the green light from the three of them, Hanni sounding the most excited.

“Perfect, and your girlfriend is just as excited as you are,” Jake’s face turns into a deep red before he runs out of your room in embarrassment, yelling something along the lines of planning the perfect outfit. You guessed it was probably to impress Hanni anyway, so you didn’t question him.

The silence of your room welcomes you once again and you are back into your thoughts. Jay sounded like a guy who would take someone seriously, maybe it’s just what you needed because guys your age didn’t have that much to go off of.

He was Jake approved, and you told yourself that a million times, only because Jake hadn’t approved of anyone else but Jay. Jungwon could get past your parents and oldest brother, but not Jake, so it was an odd situation to be in.

“I’ll figure it out later, right now, I need to sleep.” You put your phone off to the side and close your eyes. Hopefully, you’ll be able to figure everything out once the nineteenth rolls around, both Jake and Hanni did say similar things, so maybe those two had a point. ‘No wonder they like each other, they’re the same person,’ you thought as the sleep took over.

Two days had passed and the dreaded day had rolled around much quicker than you had anticipated. As you put on light makeup, your friends are in the background screaming at each other throughout the entirety of your Facetime call because you all decided that it was a good idea to get ready together. 

“Hanni, it’s Jake! He’s like Y/n’s male version so you don’t need to freak out that much! Now Y/n, show us the fit. You’re the only one who didn’t show us yet!” Wonyoung whined over the phone. 

“I’m wearing a gray long-sleeved, asymmetrical knit top, black skirt, and combat boots. For hair, I’m leaving it down and wavy, I don’t care much,” You say softly.

The girls suddenly burst out laughing as you put on your outfit, they didn’t seem to believe you one bit when you said you didn’t care because they knew you genuinely did care. 

“Guys come on, Jay is approved by my brother! How can I not care? I know I’m still scared because of the whole Jungwon fiasco but can you blame me?” Your friends hum in agreement until you hear the door behind you open. 

“Y/n— Are you calling your friends right now? We’re leaving in a minute because Jay’s driving so hurry your ass up will you. Also hi Hanni! Hi Wony and Minji,” Jake grins stupidly. You roll your eyes at your brother for obviously singling Hanni out and tell your friends that you were going to see them in a bit. 

“Bye, Y/n! Have fun looking at your new boy toy driving, already a huge upgrade from Jungwon!” Wonyoung laughs. You end the Facetime call with a roll of your eyes before turning to look at Jake with an eyebrow raised. Jake puts his hands up defensively before you both hear a car honking outside.

“Jay’s here, grab your bag, and let’s go!” You huff as Jake rushes you, he was practically itching to see his crush, and embarrassingly enough, you too were excited to meet Jay and Sunghoon.

With your bag in hand, along with your phone, you finally follow Jake outside and see a Range Rover of the latest model in black. Damn, Jay was in a different league that was for sure. 

Jake opens the door for you as you head in. You see Heeseung riding shotgun and Sunghoon in the back smiling at you. “Y/n! So happy to see you again, I think this is your first time meeting Jay and Sunghoon,” Heeseung says from the front. 

You squeeze in the center comfortably and nod. Sunghoon was cute, he greeted you politely and was very friendly, but when your eyes met Jay’s, you suddenly became quite flustered. He held a sharp gaze, the watch on his wrist not helping you in the slightest.

“The shopping center downtown right?” Jake nods at Jay’s words, his voice causing you to flush. You prayed to whoever was up there that you would at least survive the day because the tension in the car with him was enough to drive you nuts.

“So Y/n, how’s that thing with Jungwon?” You freeze up when Heeseung suddenly brings up your ex, but you forgot not everyone knew about the devastating breakup over text. 

“We broke up over text...” You reply awkwardly. Heeseung gasps as your brother face palms, he knew better than anyone not to bring up Jungwon during the time you were still trying to move on. 

“Hee, give her a break. Sounds like it must’ve been rough, sorry about that. He seems like a shitty boyfriend, breaking up with you over text? Are you sure this isn’t a sitcom Y/n?” Jay speaks up as he looks at you from the rearview mirror. You feel your cheeks heat up slightly, nodding in embarrassment, but for some reason, you were shocked at Jay’s words.

Wow, he did describe Jungwon in a way you wouldn’t ever dare to. His bluntness snapped you right back to reality and you could hear Sunghoon chuckle from beside you. “What’s so funny Sunghoon?” You raise a brow at the boy.

“Jay hasn’t gotten this worked up over anything in a while, it’s crazy that he’s already scrutinizing your ex based on how you broke up,” Sunghoon explains. Jay glares at him and huffs, looking so done and just ready to explain himself. 

“Listen, in my personal opinion, I think breaking up with a long-term partner over text is stupid and a cowardly move. There were so many other ways he could have gone about it but over text? At least call or something instead, it’s super disrespectful towards your partner to leave them hanging without proper closure.” Your eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets upon hearing the reason behind his agitation.

So far, Jay was seriously proving you wrong the more he opened his mouth to say something, but you still weren’t ready because what if he’s even worse? The feeling still lingers and it’s almost like the ghost of your ex is not letting you go just yet.

“Jay’s right, I thought you both had something to be fair. Seeing how puppy love was just a phase makes me think I was quite wrong, you deserve better. Like Jay here for example! He’s very single and is looking for the right person, which could be you.” Heeseung jokingly says. 

You notice Jay’s ears turn red as he pulls into the shopping center. The car was suddenly filled with an awkward silence, and everyone was stunned at the oldest’s proposition. You and Jay just met, what was he on about you being his possible partner? It was crazy.

After Jay had parked his car, you all made your way toward your designated meeting spot. You could see Jake and Sunghoon freeze up upon seeing Hanni and Wonyoung, causing a laugh to make its way out of your throat. 

“Y/n! Over here!” The girls beckoned you over as you purposely ran in their direction to tease the guys. It was a day to bring them together was it not? Yet you also took the opportunity to tease the boys as you wished. It was pretty funny to look at their reactions knowing they liked your friends.

“Hi guys, these are my dogs, Jake and Heeseung. The newbies are Sunghoon and, Jay” You say with a pause. Your friends squeal wildly at the mention of Jay’s name, shoving you with their elbows as you all laugh.

“Sunghoon’s kinda cute actually, is he single by any chance?” Wonyoung smirks, eyeing the male up and down. You giggle and nod, your friend had no idea that the said boy was here for her, which made your job of setting them up much easier.

“Oh don’t worry, you’ll know in a bit. For now, let’s all focus on having fun today shall we?” You sling your hand over Hanni’s shoulder, not noticing Jay’s intense stare at your form. Jake and Sunghoon notice the action, causing the two of them to nudge the boy playfully.

“Bro, go shoot your shot. There’s very much tension between the two of you, I hope you know that” Jake laughs. Jay shakes his head at his words softly, there was no way he was going to overstep a boundary, even if it was Jake himself encouraging it. 

You notice the boys talking amongst themselves but decide to shrug it off, they were probably planning their moves on your friends, but how do you tell them that they didn’t even need to try that much? They all seemed to like each other after all.

Between Sunghoon and Jake’s continuous pestering, Jay had felt your gaze on them, causing his cheeks to grow hot. You were really pretty, and that goes without saying, but you had just gotten out of something long-term.

The time needed to heal you first, or at least that’s what he thought, since his mom had always taught him to be patient with the ones he loved or cared about. 

“Give her time guys, I don’t think I can just rush in like that. Y/n came out of a slightly traumatizing event, so if you jump right in, it will only push the person away further. I should be friends with her at most while we’re still getting to know each other,” Jay makes eye contact with you and notices how you quickly avoid his eyes. 

The day had gone by quite smoothly since then, each of you dispersing into little pairs after a while because your friends couldn’t seem to help themselves, which is what lead you to where you were now. In a store, with Jay, picking out clothes for him to try on. You had nothing better to do anyway, so why not style your brother’s hot friend, even though Jay himself already had impeccable fashion taste?

You bite your lip as you focus on the outfit, imagining what it would look like on Jay and how you could coordinate everything. Jay thought it was cute how much thought you had decided to put in when you were only doing this for fun, so he ultimately decided to buy the outfit once he was done trying it on. 

“Here, sorry I took so long. I haven’t styled anyone since my ex and my older brother, so this is the best you’re gonna get for now,” You handed him the items in your arms and pushed him toward the fitting rooms, eager to see how well you did.

“It’s no problem because you did put the time and effort into styling me, I might go ahead and buy it if it does end up looking good,” Jay smiles at you softly. He was sweet, you had to be honest. It wasn’t like Jungwon had noticed you putting effort into styling him so a little acknowledgment made your heart swell.

“You don’t have to, I kind of play around with it. I bet you will look good since you seem like you’d look good in anything” You admit shyly.

Jay was fun to be around, even if it was your first time meeting, you already felt as if you had known the boy for a while. All around Jay was just considerate and one of the best people you could’ve ever met.

“Yeah, yeah. Let me go try this on now, otherwise, I’d be too distracted looking into your eyes. Give me a minute and I’ll show you how it looks,” You nod as Jay closes the curtain, only then taking in what he had said to you. He was not being serious but was smooth with how he flirted with you. 

A minute had gone by and you heard Jay call your name, so you made your way over, only to find your heart nearly falling out of your ass the moment you saw him. He looked, good, great even, and you couldn’t help but stare. 

Jay adorned a black sleeveless shirt underneath a black denim jacket, adding detail by buttoning the bottom of it, and black jeans. It was a really simple outfit, but you had to admit, he did tie the whole look together. 

“How does it look? I think you did well honestly, I’d buy the entire outfit right now. Let me go change so we can go meet up with the others” Jay smiles. You were amazing at what you did, it impressed him how you were able to pull such an outfit together in just a few minutes.

“I think it looks great, I’m flattered you like it so much that you’d actually buy it right now. Maybe I can style you again if there is a next time?” You reply shyly. You couldn’t meet Jay’s eyes because he looked that good.

From that moment on, Jay made it his mission to heal your heart and prove to you that you deserved a second chance at being treated better. He had come to your house quite often and taken you out a few times, so much to the point that everyone around you started noticing that you both were almost always with each other.

“You know what, this is the happiest I’ve seen you. Your relationship with Jungwon started to strain and you had become more dull and miserable, but being around Jay gave you a new kind of glow for some reason,” Minji quips. You tilt your head in confusion, you liked his company but you hadn’t noticed any other changes.

“He’s great, but I’m still hesitant. You know how I am, like I get he’s not Jungwon, but who knows how everything would play out in the long run?” You say sadly. Jay was amazing, he respected your wishes not to have a relationship, but still treated you well or in his words, ‘courting’, something people don’t do much these days.

He was attentive, took care of you well, and would always be there for you no matter what. He truly was the real definition of being ‘one call away’. This was all so new to you, even being courted was something totally out of the ordinary.

“Y/n, he’s courting you. Not enough people willingly do that these days, so you have the guy wrapped around your finger. He’s patiently waiting for an answer from you, like do you remember everything you’ve told us?” Wonyoung huffs out from above you as she was doing your hair.

It was girl’s night and you had decided to bring up your worries and updates to your friends, but you had forgotten the fact that you had also told them about your escapades with Jay. From where you would go to what you did, down to the time he took you home, and if Jake truly did approve of him.

“Did Jungwon ever actually think about how you felt in a certain situation? You know besides you telling him it’s ok and all? Usually being together with someone for over a year would allow you to read them better, but Jungwon barely knew your little habits. Hanni took them in after a month of knowing you, which is concerning. Now on to Jay, what did he say that one time?” Minji snaps her fingers and you instantly knew what she was talking about.

You came home one day and had gone the whole day without eating. You were out with your parents and they hadn’t considered if you were hungry or not since they were busy and had already eaten, so when you got home, you quietly slipped next to Jay in the living room after seeing the guys watching a movie.

“Hey, you’re home. How was spending the day with your parents?” Jay whispers from beside you. You shrug and he gives you a look that encourages you to tell him more.

“I hadn’t eaten anything, but honestly it’s ok now since I’m not hungry at all…” You trail off. Jay shakes his head and takes his phone out, but you go over to stop him. He shouldn’t spend anything on you, and you already told him weren’t hungry so you felt as if you were only hassling him.

“Are you sure you’re not hungry?” You see your favorite restaurant on the delivery app on his phone and blush. He remembered your favorite restaurant and order? That was sweet of him.

“No it’s ok I can manage,” You pretend not to see him already inputting the order and paying for it, but you still couldn’t help it when your stomach growled loudly. Jay raises a brow at you as you chuckle awkwardly.

“I’m getting you food, I know you’re hungry” Jay laughs. You hit his shoulder but thank him gratefully for even thinking of you, it was a small gesture but it meant a lot.

“How about that time he got you flowers for no reason?” Hanni says while laughing. You roll your eyes, she was the first person you had freaked out to over the phone because Jay had gotten you a bouquet of roses on a random Thursday with Jake.

“What’s this?” You ask as Jay sets down a bunch of fresh roses wrapped in brown paper on the counter in front of you. Jake and Jay had just gotten back from grocery shopping for your mom and then Jay comes back with flowers, of course, you would be confused.

“I got you flowers because we saw them on the way out.” Jay started taking out the groceries from the bags as Jake walked in with the last batch from the car. You flick your brother’s forehead, but the older male could only smirk and laugh at you.

“Why? There’s no occasion,” You try to excuse, but you couldn’t hide how flustered you were. Jay thought of you while they were out? He did mean it when he said he wanted to treat you better.

“Can I not get you flowers even if there’s no occasion? Y/n, you don’t need to ask or have a reason to receive flowers, I hope you know that. I’m surprised this hadn’t been done for you more often than not” Jay’s back was still turned toward you, which you were thankful for because you probably looked like a tomato at that moment.

That night poor Hanni had to endure an earful from you, just because Jay was a great guy who treated you the way you deserved. Thinking back at those moments, you could only see the good in Jay, so you wanted your friends’ approval. He was already brother and parent-approved so that only left your best friends.

“Well, do you guys think I should finally give him an answer? It’s been a few months, and even if I am scared, I can’t let this chance go.” Wonyoung finishes up your hair and pats your head, signaling her answer. You look at the others, who only grin at you and you laugh.

“Y/n, he’s been a green flag since the beginning. It’s a good opportunity knowing he’s the type that’s ready to settle down,” Hanni also brings up.

Jake had always emphasized that Jay was a date-to-marry and long-term relationship kind of guy, which makes sense as to why you were one of the first people he had ever been serious with when it came to dating.

“You guys are always the best, I’m glad everyone around me approves. I mean, I won’t know until I try right?” Minji hugs you and you sigh in content.

You were finally moving on, you were finally healing. It felt fulfilling in a sense, and knowing you were finally starting a new chapter with a great person, you felt as though your life was finally turning out for the better.

After a chaotic girls’ night, you had called up Jay to meet you at your favorite cafe that the two of you frequented. You were quite nervous, to say the least, but you were ready to take this huge step of moving on with the person who treated you right.

You hear the bell of the cafe chime, and you finally see the person you were expecting. Jay walked in, his hair down in its usual state, and in a black and white outfit. Your heart raced at how good he looked, he always did look his best whenever he came to see you, and you always appreciated the effort.

Jay spots you and walks over with a wide smile. He was always so damn charming, you couldn’t believe he was all yours. He pulls out the seat in front of you and plops on it, his attention fully on you. ‘Attentive as always, I don’t deserve you,’ you thought.

“You wanted to talk?” Jay finally breathes out. You nod and take his hands in yours, you were going to tell him how you finally felt because he deserved an answer. He had already done so much for you, the least you could do was show him that all his efforts were finally paying off.

“I think I’m ready to give you my answer. The past few months you had decided to court me and I’m thankful you were patient enough to wait for my answer. You’ve proved to me that relationships aren’t limited to how I and my ex went about ours and that if a guy wanted to do something, he would. So my answer is yes, I’ll be your girlfriend, Jay.” You look up at him, only to see Jay suddenly grinning like an idiot.

He was elated, he finally got the answer he was waiting for and you saying yes only made it a hundred times better. Jay knew how much your last relationship had affected you, so he only made it a point to court you, knowing you weren’t ready for a commitment just yet. He wanted you to be ready for him to love you and treat you the way you deserved, so he didn’t push it and waited for you to come around on your own, which you did.

“You have no idea how happy and relieved I am to hear you say that. Y/n, I’m so glad you gave me the chance to really love you and care for you. I’m glad you gave me the chance to prove myself to you. I promise I will not hurt you in any way at all, and I promise to be as communicative as possible with my feelings so that you don’t end up in the dark. I want you to know everything because you deserve it,” Jay breathes out, not breaking his gaze on you.

“Jay, you’re amazing. I don’t know what else to say. The past few months I’d been so scared to love again, to give a relationship another chance, but you’ve proved me wrong and even waited for me to be ready. You don’t understand how much that means to me,” You continue to fidget with his hands, but then he suddenly takes yours and places a kiss on your knuckle.

You blush at the action, you weren’t used to feeling or receiving this kind of affection since it had been quite some time, but with Jay, you weren’t afraid of anything, because you trusted him as much as he trusted you.

Needless to say, even months after you had given Jay an answer, he remained the same and still acted like he was courting you. The only difference? He was finally your boyfriend and you were finally his girlfriend. You felt how serious he was about you when he had even introduced you to his parents, and they were just as lovely as their son was.

“Mom wants to go shopping with us on her birthday this weekend, I told her I would take her on a birthday date but she insisted you come along. She really loves you that much already,” Jay chuckles as he walks into your room, fresh out of the shower. You laugh, his mom was the sweetest person, and you finally understand where your boyfriend gets it from.

“I’m totally down if she’d like, but you’re not getting me anything ok? You already spoil me enough and I don’t want you to spend too much–” You squeal as you felt Jay’s arms around you, the two of you falling flat on the bed.

Before you two could move from your position, you heard a knock at your door. It was Jake, and you immediately pull away from Jay once you see him, still flustered and embarrassed from Jay’s previous action. “Hey, if you two are going to be in the house, at least have some decency while I’m here!” Your brother whines.

You laugh and see him let Layla in the room. She had been with Jake the whole day, so you and your siblings usually took turns spending time with the dog. You were the sibling in Layla’s night shift, meaning you had to take Layla in for the night since she liked sleeping in your room.

You thank Jake for letting Layla in and bid your brother goodnight. Once the door closed, you looked over to see your boyfriend on the floor with Layla on her back.

“Hey, that’s literally my dog! Layla, you can’t just steal my boyfriend like that, and Jay you can’t just do that to my child!” You joke. They looked perfect, and suddenly you start to imagine what your little family with Jay would look like.

Jay was the perfect partner to settle with, after all, he was caring and dependable, but also super honest and was not afraid to show or express how he felt. He just knew whenever you weren’t up to do something, or if something was bothering you.

“Is something wrong?” Jay noticed that were more quiet than usual today because you almost always told him about your day. He noticed how your smile hadn’t reached your eyes and how you were fidgeting with your fingers more.

“It’s nothing” You try to brush it off, but truthfully, you weren’t doing well. You just didn’t have the strength to let him know or the strength to explain how you felt, all you wanted to do was rest and go to sleep.

“Y/n, you can tell me anything ok? Be as open as you want to be, I’m always here for you and will not judge you no matter what. If you don’t have the energy to tell me, it’s ok. Just rest here” You feel his arms being wrapped around you as he strokes your hair. The action was small but it had helped you ease up a lot.

“It’s hard Jay, I don’t know how to deal with everything. I don’t have the energy to really stress over anything right now,” You whisper softly. Jay rocks you back and forth, still playing with your hair as he places kisses on your forehead.

“Whatever it is you’re going through, I hope you know that I’m proud enough that you decide to wake up every day and do everything with a smile, even if the world has wronged you. You’re so brave and amazing Y/n, please do not ever doubt yourself” Jay replies.

“Jay, you don’t understand how much your words have helped me” You kiss him softly. You felt so lucky to have him, he was beyond the best partner you had ever been blessed with.

“Jay, could I ask you something?” You say suddenly. The two of you were at his parent’s place since Jay had decided to take you to his dad’s resort in Brunei as a gift for your four-month anniversary.

“Mhm?” He hummed, putting down a plate of food on the coffee table in the living room, and sitting next to you on the couch.

“Why haven’t we said I love you to each other at any point in our relationship just yet? The others have asked me about it, but I just can’t come up with an answer to get them to leave me alone,” you whine. Jay laughs and kisses your cheek gently.

“Tell them that saying I love you isn’t easy when it comes to us, you haven’t said it either so we’re simply making sure that I can say it when the time is right. It’s not that I don’t or anything, but those words aren’t exactly an easy thing to just pop out there. The time will come when we can both say it meaningfully. Right now, we are still early into our relationship and have a lot to learn, I hope you understand where I’m coming from” he tells you.

It wasn’t that hard to understand what he meant. Jay had always been more careful, even if he didn’t say I love you, he still affirmed you and expressed his love for you in his actions.

Loving someone still came in many forms, so the words I love you could wait because they should come from a place where you both fully understand and can comprehend how meaningful the three words are.

“I honestly think the same way, in a sense, I’m glad you’re honest about how you feel because I’ve been in a place wherein I was pressured into doing the action just because it was normal for everyone else, but not all of us are the same. Thank you, Jay, you’re always the best with words.” Jay hugs you and you both sigh in content.

He wanted to treat you better, and he did. He wanted to show you better, and he expressed it in the best way possible.

Update and post schedule

Hii!! It's exam season </3 so I'll be taking off for 1-2 weeks. After they finish I'll actually re-start posting more work.

1. Sunghoon fic

Title: Myth of Sisyphus

Genre: fluff, slight angst, university au!, ta! sunghoon.

2. Jake fic

Title: Strike his heart

First part of the series Dead of the night

Genre: horror, vampire au!, super store au! (yes the show), enemies to lovers.

3. Ot7 drabble

I also have to edit my masterlist...

[devondeal]

15 and 16 for the Jedi ask game for Shaak Ti?

Ooooo Shaak Ti, I love that badass lady. Again thank you @stellanslashgeode! Y'all just keep in mind that I don't have any familiarity Shaak Ti's extended info in Legends or Canon. I'm just going off of my impressions of her from the prequels, Clone Wars 2003, and The Clone Wars.

15. What were they like as a child in their créche?

I feel like Shaak Ti was the quiet kid who everyone knew not to mess with because the few times she did say something, boy did it leave an impression. Some other kids assumed she was smart because she was quiet and only spoke when she had something intelligent to share but little do they know Shaak Ti struggled in terms of book smarts. It's something she's insecure about for while. She enjoyed the training lightsaber sessions and playing with floating stuff around with the Force.

16. Who are their best friends and how did they come to meet them?

I feel like Shaak Ti is that kind person that only has one best friend and is content with that. I feel like she and Adi Gallia would be besties. I think Adi Gallia is around the same age so I think they'd meet in the same créche so they've known each other their whole lives and just always felt comfortable around each other. Classic childhoos besties.

Wonderful Journey - Chapter 2

Translated by: @seisoukan

With thanks to my proofers: Vulpes

Season: Winter

Location: Vocal Room

WATARU: Right, right~ Let’s end our debriefing of the original setting here, and move onto today’s main attraction! After all, it is for this very reason Anzu-san took time out of her day to attend this meeting.

TOMOYA: When you put it that way, I am pretty curious. Why did Anzu-senpai tell us to change into our practice clothes and come to this vocal room, instead of the conference room we usually use for our meetings?

WATARU: That sort of cramped space doesn’t allow us to stretch our limbs to our heart’s content— just like this ☆

TOMOYA: Uwah?! Don’t stretch your arms out so long all of a sudden, it’s disgusting…!

SHU: Oh, this is merely a technique similar to joint dislocation. Kagehira’s body is quite flexible, and he is able to do it as well.

Anyway, since Wataru is the main actor, he should shoulder the responsibility of troupe leader this time, correct?

WATARU: That’s correct, that’s correct. Thus, the overall planning of this commercial shooting will be arranged by yours truly; I look forward to subsequently being in everyone’s care… ♪

KEITO: … I don’t know why, but I just can’t help myself from worrying. I hope everything goes smoothly.

TOMOYA: Ahaha. Although Hibiki-senpai’s always unreliable, at least he treats theater performances relatively seriously, so leaving it to him shouldn’t be a problem… Right?

WATARU: Hahaha, Anzu-san is also nodding her head vigorously. Then, I can’t let you down. I must lead everyone to produce the greatest results possible ♪

The commercial will be mainly divided into the ‘Protagonist × Senior’ and the ‘Best Friend × Childhood Friend’ teams, filming a few classic, heartwarming scenes from the manga.

Right now, there is still a sufficient amount of time until the day of filming; we shall first try to rehearse the script in order to get a feel for it, and familiarize ourselves with the characters as much as possible ☆

Come, come, Tomoya-kun! Allow me to witness exactly how much you’ve grown during this period of time, whether you are able to bring out a new kind of Amazing or not!

TOMOYA: E-eh? Anzu-senpai’s also asking if it would be okay for me to go first?

Well, since I’m frequently involved in theater productions, I already read the script several times beforehand, and I basically memorized all my lines out of habit…

Right, then leave it to me! Could I trouble you to cooperate with me for this scene, Itsuki-senpai?

SHU: Let me see… Gifting a handmade bento to the childhood friend, correct? Then, let us begin.

TOMOYA: “Um… G-good afternoon! Are you free right now?”

SHU: “Oh, it’s you. What can I do for you?”

TOMOYA: “A-actually… I, uh, I accidentally made an extra bento this morning, so…”

SHU:“So?”

TOMOYA: “C-could you please accept ‘dis, h-handmaid bento?!”[1]

WATARU: Stop, stop, stop! Tomoya-kun, you’re stuttering just like Little Rabbit-san, you see?

Although you could say that in this scene, the best friend is very nervous in front of the person she likes, hence the slight stammer in her speech.

However, if I were to describe Tomoya-kun’s expression just now; rather than calling it shyness, I’d consider it to be fear—

TOMOYA: Uu, you don’t have to say it for me to know! I’m not trying to find excuses, but Itsuki-senpai had this really intense aura, and it made me kind of afraid to approach him…

If the person opposite me was Hokuto-senpai, I’d totally be able to do it! I’d even be willing to make a bento for Hokuto-senpai with my own hands…!

SHU: … My apologies, did I seem too serious just now? Rather, I believe I behaved similarly to how I usually act, so I did not notice at all.

KEITO: I think Itsuki’s interpretation wasn’t entirely incorrect. After all, according to the storyline, the childhood friend’s attitude towards the protagonist’s best friend is still relatively cold at this stage.

In fact, the gentle and understanding side of the childhood friend is only shown to the protagonist. That is, the character possesses a certain so-called ‘gap moe’.

WATARU: It’s a pity the running time for the advertisement is quite limited, for there’s hardly any scenes between the protagonist and the best friend. Just when I was looking forward to trading blows with Shu…♪

Then, Keito-kun, are you ready? It’s our turn to show Tomoya-kun an excellent demonstration!

“My dearest senior, do keep your eyes wide open, and watch carefully! One, Two, Amazing ♪”

KEITO: Hold on, that line doesn’t exist in the original script, don’t just start improvising out of nowhere—

(Mm? The rich fragrance of flowers is wafting in the air, all of a sudden…)

… Wh, what?!

(In an instant, countless rose petals flew out from the left of Hibiki’s chest?!)

WATARU: “Aah, please forgive me for the overflowing feelings of longing in my heart for you, my senior! They’ve gone so far as to transform into flowers of love that flutter through the sky!”

KEITO: Stop that, quit continuously scattering petals in my direction! My clothes are covered in them now!

WATARU: “Ohoho~ In fact, you[2] have some in your hair. The vibrant colors of the flowers make you appear even more endearing… ♪”

“Please stand still and don’t move about, I shall remove them for you right this instant ☆”

KEITO: … Oi, don’t use that as an opportunity to get your hands on my glasses! Get away from me!

WATARU: Sob, sob, sob. Don’t be so cruel towards little old me,[3] my senior~

KEITO: Pretending to be cute won’t work! Also, remember to sweep all of the flower petals off of the ground, so you don’t end up inconveniencing the other people who use this practice room after you! How incorrigible!

WATARU: Oops… It seems I accidentally went overboard with my acting, and switched Keito-kun into ‘dorm head’ mode.

TOMOYA: Hahaha! So even the seemingly omnipotent Hibiki-senpai has times where he messes up!

… Ah, I’m so sorry, Anzu-senpai! It’s honestly embarrassing for you to watch us fooling around like this…

“Today’s just the beginning; there’s no need to rush, so take it slowly”… You say?

SHU: The little girl speaks the truth. A perfect masterpiece cannot be completed in a single day, I shall make room for more practice sessions in my own private time.

KEITO: Ahem… The same goes for me. After all, I was almost thoroughly driven by my own emotions just now, and showed no semblance of my role as a ‘senior’.

WATARU: Amazing! For all of you to have the motivation to improve is truly commendable! Please do explore the inner world of your characters in great depth, and enjoy the pleasure of acting ☆

Oya? The sun is already about to set. Let’s end today’s meeting here; good work, everyone… ♪

Location: Sky

WATARU: Welcome aboard the hot air balloon Jeanne d’Arc, I am your Hibiki Wataru… ☆

The weather today is beautiful, and the soft breeze that brushes against your ears is also comforting… How is it? Is your mood as light and airy as the clouds in the sky? ♪

Hahaha, why are you thanking me? I should be the one to thank Anzu-san for being willing to accept my invitation.

After the meeting ended, you stayed with me to clean up the flower petals scattered all over the floor on purpose. Besides, I simply couldn’t ignore your preoccupied expression.

Indeed, our performance today was discordant and messy. We certainly can’t go on stage like that.

However, it is thanks to this carefree, formless first attempt, that our dissonance has been properly exposed; namely, the issue of our insufficient ‘intimacy’— That is what you think as well, correct?

Now that we’ve identified the problem, we’ve succeeded halfway already, so our next step is to figure out how to solve it! You needn’t worry at all ♪

Mm, as expected, a smile is more befitting of Anzu-san ☆ With this rare opportunity, do grasp my hand tightly, and enjoy the pleasure of walking amongst the clouds together with me ♪

Tomoya mispronounces the words 'this' and 'handmade'.

While in character, Wataru uses the polite form of 'you'.

Wataru uses a feminine personal pronoun here, even though he is already out of character.

Guest Review: Crossing The Line by P.A. DePaul

SBG Novel book 3

Northfair Pub.

April 23, 2024

Crossing The Line by P. A. DePaul is the third book in the series.  Each book is part of the romantic suspense genre.  Whereas the first two books were more suspense than romance, this book is more romance than suspense with the heroine Magician and the hero Romeo, part of the Delta Squad team.

There are three books in the series. Each character has a set of skills. “I modeled it off of real life where most of the operators have a dedicated skill set, they bring to the team. I have spoken to a lot of law enforcement and read a lot of military books.  My father was military and law enforcement. Wraith, who was highlighted in the first book, Exchange of Fire, is the sniper, while her significant other Grady, being a former Marine, has his military skills. Talon likes to infiltrate and is good with knives. Romeo was a former law enforcement explosives expert. Magician is good with disguises for herself and the team.  Jeremy aka Cappy is the strategist and commander.  Ted is the IT expert. The team dynamics include love, support, respect, and grief. In book one the team was in it in the last half, in book two the team was in it from beginning to end, and in book three the team was hardly in it.”

The story goes back to eight months ago. Magician was part of a black ops mission, going undercover to infiltrate a sex-slave ring. Little did she realize the mission would change her life forever. The team was sent it to rescue the girls with Romeo assigned to rescue Magician.  He still can't wipe the image of Magician's battered body nearly dying in his arms. Since then, one-night stands have lost their appeal. Now, he realizes he is falling for his best friend and partner. 

“Magician goes undercover and likes to isolate herself.  She is direct, broken, charming, and manipulative.  She wants a place to belong because she is afraid of being abandoned. She is very complex. While Romeo is a player who at times can be shallow.  He is warm-hearted, humorous, loyal, charming, confident, restless, and introspective. I love the part about him that he reads romance novels to understand what women are thinking.”

The suspense part of the plot has a pro-American Oil lobbyist and a Saudi Arabian Oil Sheikh-two natural enemies-join forces to destroy new legislation allowing America to gain independence from foreign oil, they utilize bombings to throw the country into chaos. It is during a party that Magician attended that she recognizes the lobbyist as being an assistant of the Sheikh, knowing that both were involved in the sex trafficking ring. 

“Any reader that read all the books would have witnessed how Magician and Romeo started recognizing each other on a more romantic level. It just felt right for the progression they had gone through from the beginning. This one was heavier on the romantic and less on the suspense.  The first book, Exchange of Fire, had a lot of high action, the second book, Shadow of Doubt, had deeper characters.”

But because she has no evidence, the SBG Agency will not give her the go ahead to investigate. She and her partner Romeo decide to defy the order to stand down.  Together they investigate on their own with only the help of another teammate, Talon.  They are taking a big risk to expose the Sheik and lobbyist, but also realize that they are risking getting emotionally and intimately involved.

“The relationship has a lot bantering.  They went from friends to lovers. They consider themselves best friends, partners, and have a bond. They have an intense attraction. They have divergent backgrounds.  Romeo is from wealth, and she was always abandoned. He wants to protect her, while she is his anchor.  Magician is not as trusting of him because he is a player and what happened to her on the op.  Because of that op she experiences fear, panic, doubt, and suspicion.  Her heart thinks differently than her mind. Because of her childhood she wants to ensure that her teammates and partner, Romeo, will entrust her to help with the mission.” 

This novel emphasizes how the characters through their profession and relationship find that the greatest gift of all is survival, success, and finding a soul mate. DePaul allows the relationship to grow into an intimate one of unbreakable love The protagonists are complex and caring who teach each other how to trust again. The mission is intense and will keep readers guessing until the very end.

how and why i started smoking:

warning this post is just me going on about a bunch of crap

so i've been smoking for a little bit under 2 years now and i still do to this day and don't plan on stopping anytime soon, sometimes i regret starting because i know it's bad for my health but then i remember how it feels when i get high or even a nic rush.

i started smoking the summer i spent in england, because it was there, right in front of me and i was in a really bad place, i wasn't talking to any of my bestfriends and i was finally in the same country as my dad and he still didn't even bother to see me, i can't even remember what i was thinking at the time but i know i felt nervous and exited. i got some of my aunties weed and started rolling at about 1 or 2 am. i already knew how to roll because a few weeks before i left i had just started smoking rollies, it was a shit roll ngl but fat and i smoked it anyway.

after i had smoked it i tidied everything up the best i could while being high (it wasn't perfect) and i went to the kitchen to get crisps because i knew i was gonna get the muchies, i felt like i was floating on a cloud at the time then i felt sick so i went to bed and put on a movie, i think the first movie i watched high was either spy kids or the dirt i can't even remember.

when i came back home after that summer i met up with my childhoo crush (who i still liked) and went to his house, and he smoked a lot. so me and childhood crush (let's call him smack) would sit on his sofa and watch movies and smoke together every friday for about a month or two. then things with smack got messy because i was immature and a really bad person.

but i started the year off without smack and talking to my close friends again but still smoking on my own, i feel like it was a mix of missing him and doing it because it reminded me of him but it also made me forget about him. i got over smack and started smoking with 2 of my close friends and now we all smoke together or sometimes just on my own.

smoking now compared to then is a lot different, now i see it more as a hobbie, something that brings me and my friends together, something that helps me meet new people and experience new things, back then it was an escape from a dark place and something i didn't even really want to do.

i know a lot of people (family) are (or will be) disapointed or sad about me smoking but i couldn't care less it's helped me through a bunch of shit and honestly i think it save my life.

i really hope no one sees this and reads it all but if u did, here have a smiley face :)

nct dream reaction to:

sticking up for their childhood friend but they actually said something really mean to their S/O but the childhood friend is playing the victim

MASTERLIST

REQUESTS ARE: OPEN

please go to the ask box to send your requests or questions♡ you can interact as much as you want !

mark

mark seems like really loyal friend and I feel like he is lowkey selective and that the people that he lets enter his life are really important to him and he trust them deeply.

When he finds out that his childhoo friend said something mean to his s/o he would be really confused at first and kinda in denial. He wouldn’t know who to believe because he has always trusted his friend, but later when his s/o explains what happened he would be extremely disappointed, he has always been such a good friend and he would be incapable of being mean to anyone and even less to someone to his best friend like his s/o it’s to him.

Later he would apologize to his s/o and say that he is sorry that he didn’t trust them before, he should that when a relationship begins people around tend to be negative about it.

renjun

I think at first he would be kinda in denial and wouldn’t believe that you are saying that his best friend told you something mean. He woud think that he knows them perfectly and that he knows that they would never doubt. In general, he would be a little stubborn about the whole situation.

After observing how his best friend is acting and that they are starting to say weird things about his s/o something wouldn’t add up for him, he would keep thinking about until he finally realizes that his friends was lying all the time. He would feel really terrible and regretful, he immediately would contact his s/o and express how sorry he is. He should have find out before since his best friend was the only being salty about the whole thing.

jeno

he would feel really confused, he seems like someone with good feelings who wants everyone to be happy and that doesn’t like conflict, so he would feel trapped in the middle. At the beginning he would be sad at his s/o because he thinks they might they are lying out of jealousy.

When he finda the truth about the situation he would be really mad at himself, he would be really disappointed at his best friend because he would feel this as a major betrayal, it’s hard for him to love someone as he loves his s/o and his friends comes to try to make drama, he woud be really annoyed. He wouldn’t know how to talk to his s/o now because he didn’t believe them in the first place and he would feel ashamed because of that, but he would finally talk to them and apologize for not trusting them, they mean a lot to him and he doesn’t want to lose them because of a situation like this in the future.

haechan

He would have a lot of mixed feelings at first but later he would come really annoyed and mad at his s/o because he would thing she is lying and trying about the whole thing, so he would take at them not letting him have a nice friendship with his childhood friend or something.

My boy right here is really smart, so after finding out that his friend was starting to say some things out of place about his s/o he would quickly figure out that his friend was a liar all a long. He would be extremely furious at them and probably would tell them not to talk to him ever again. He would go running to his s/o and apologize with them for acting so impulsive and not thinking well before. They always showed him that they were trustworthy but in an important situation like this he didn’t do it, so he would be upset at himself about it.

jaemin

He would be really confused by the whole situation, but he really trust his friend so he would just be feeling upset that his s/o might be lying and he would overthink for a long time on why did his s/o do that. Maybe it could be because they are jealous, but he would still feel sad about all of that.

After thinking things a lot and seeing how his friend is starting to make weird comments about his relationship he would find out how his s/o was right all the time and he doubt them. He wouldn’t even care about his friend anymore and would just go to his s/o as fast as possible and tell them that he is deeply sorry and that he doesn’t want to doubt them ever again.

chenle

I think he is also really selective with the people that he lets enter his life, so his childhood best friend, who has been around for a long time, is someone that he really trusts. With this whole thing, sadly he would doubt his s/o first and be mad and upset at them for even doubting their friends who he thinks that would never do anything bad.

When he sees that his best friend throws some derogatory comments about his s/o he wouldn’t immediately figure out how he was wrong all the time and his friend were playing the victim. He would be really mad at his friend and probably wouldn’t mind about ending the friendship right there. He would call his s/o and admit how stupid he was for not being by their side not even for a second, and that now on he would be even more careful on who to trust.

jisung

His head would be all over the place with this situation, his friends are really precious to him and now that his s/o who is also so important to him is in the middle of this would stress him out a lot and would ask for space. He wouldn’t want to see his s/o or talk to them for a couple of days until he can clear his thoughts.

When he starts seeing how his best friend is being a little shady when talking about his s/o he would analyze it a lot and finally realize that his s/o wasn’t lying all along. He would feel really really sad and upset towards his friend because he trusted them a lot, but after thia he doesn’t really want to keep being friends. When it comes to his s/o he would be sad and ashamed at himself because he probably make them feel bad when he didn’t believe them and didn’t talk to them, but anyway he would talk to them and practically beg for forgiveness and tell them that he loves them a lot and that next time he would act in a better way.

[af-answers]

Hey Artemis and Lazuli. Artemis, would you consider Lazuli a friend? Or more of a colleague? Lazuli do you have any other friends like in the LEP?

Lazuli: I do have a couple acquaintances from the force I get a pint with after a shift sometimes, but my closest friends I’ve had from childhoos.

Artemis: I haven’t had the pleasure of working with Specialist Heitz, but she makes the best cup of tea I’ve ever had, and I mean that, specialist. (Sorry Butler.)

Artemis: Never.

Mod: I love the idea of them being friendssss! Also, thank you for the kind words. :D

[mitsybubbles]

Someone probably beat me to it, but 002 Arcade?

You are the first person!! :D How I feel about this character: He is my favorite character in the entire game. Lmaooo over half of the stuff I post has to do with him. All the people I ship romantically with this character: River (lmao), Male Courier/ocs, The King My non-romantic OTP for this character: Miranda, Cass (I will die on the hill that they would be best friends), Ramona (River’s twin sister), Emily Ortal (as bickering friends/coworkers with a weird comradery), Daisy Whitman (aka Vertibird Mum) My unpopular opinion about this character: Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but he would make for a good parent/is good with children! He is very protective and I think he’d be surprisingly good at understanding kids. He would understand having distant parents/family and an unstable childhood more than the rest of the companions given his own childhoos. Speaking of which, he’s also very empathetic. Having high empathy doesn’t mean you’re good in social situations. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:  Wish he would comment on the remnants or vice versa even before his personal quest was activated, c’mon they’re his family lmao. my OTP: Arcade/River ^^ my cross over ship: Lmao me and some friends were joking about Arcade/Desmond Sycamore from Professor Layton a while back dgjhgjfh a headcanon fact: Arcade has ADHD! He’s a little more leaning towards  inattentive type but he also has a lot of nervous energy (that often feeds into his anxiety, rip). I have wayyy too many little headcannons about that subject gfjhdfgj like how Arcade is absentminded or has executive dysfunction or stims, etc. It’s a headcannon that developed from a little bit of self projection on my part lol ^^.

You Promised [1/2]

Summary: The newest addition to the Avengers causes Bucky to question his entire past to find their connection.

Warnings: Angst with a dash of fluff

A/N: This is my entry for @the-canary‘s lyrical mini challenge. Prompt: I apologized for the fifth time. I think you’re sick of hearing it now. I get the feeling this is gonna be the last time. I had a lot of fun writing this, hope you enjoy!

The early hours were something Bucky cherished dearly. Watching golden streaks appear in the sky calmed his distressed mind to a great extent. Hence, he was not particularly happy when a conversation between a certain blond and a certain bird-man interrupted him from his blissful state. Normally, he would have eavesdropped on them, however, he would never dare taint the mornings with their words. Despite not paying attention to their conversation, Bucky perked up at two words: new recruit. It’s not every day strange enhanced individuals join the Avengers. 

Annoyed at the two men for ruining his peaceful morning, Bucky turned around to face them. Baby blues made eye contact with yours. Although his reaction was subtle, Steve didn’t miss the tiny movement of Bucky’s eyebrows. Bucky squared his shoulders and shot a warm smile—one that would have floored you. In the past. 

“I’m Bucky,” He extended his hand, carefully observing your mannerisms. Bucky wasn’t one to be awfully welcome, but something about you sparked a tinge of familiarity. Steve eyed the interaction warily, silently groaning at the soldier’s casual attitude. 

You didn’t move an inch. Ignoring every single fibre in your body to slap the soft expression off his face, you clenched your fists. A flash of hurt washed across his features, confused at your unwavering form. He locked eyes with Steve, hoping to receive some sort of explanation. 

“Did I do something wrong?” Bucky stepped back, eager to run away from the situation, “I...I’m sorry, if I did something wrong, sorry,” He felt his chest constrict and heart race under your gaze. Why was he feeling all of this?

Guilt.

Guilt was coursing through his veins, yet he didn’t know it. But you did. For you had felt the same, years and years ago. Even though watching him face the consequences was mildly satisfying, a part of you couldn’t see him suffer—not after all the horrors he had been through. 

“You promised,” Two words left your lips, infecting his mind as he watched you bolt out the room.

The 1940s, according to Bucky, was also known as the decade of destruction. Faint cries of weeping wives could be heard as their husbands departed their homes to fight for their nation. Bucky was no different. The day he had received the letter, he knew his days were numbered. Sparing no time, he called you and Steve for one last reunion before he left for England.

“I want to spend this night with the people I love,” Bucky stated, sandwiching you in between Steve and himself. His arms wrapped around the both of you; a moment he vowed to treasure forever.

“Bucky!” A feminine voice called out, the brunette spun so fast his hat nearly flew off. A bright smile settled on his face as he watched the slight bounce of her dark curls. He circled his arms around her with a chuckle, capturing her pink lips with his own. 

“It’s actually Sergeant James Barnes, sweetheart,” Bucky grinned, his hat tipping forward, “I’m gonna miss you, Dot,” He sighed, eyes sparkling while he pulled her impossibly close to his broad frame. 

That was how the night went. The overbearing sweetness radiating off him as he didn’t take his eyes off his girl. Dot had pulled him through the crowd at the expo. Bucky feigned annoyance, but the truth is, he would have followed her anywhere. 

He raced back to Steve and you, letting you both know he’ll be occupied for the rest of the night. Bucky ruffled Steve’s hair, chuckling at his friend’s resistance. “Don’t do anything stupid until I get back,” He said, winking at you.

“How can I? You’re taking all the stupid with you,” Steve replied, yielding to Bucky’s hug. You watched the two exchange their farewells, it was a big moment since they were practically attached to each other from childhood.

Bucky turned to you, seeing the tears forming in your eyes, his own baby blues started glistening. He had always had a soft spot for you, especially your caring self tending to his bruises after he had saved Steve from many fights. You were always there for him. Through times where he was completely wasted to the times where he had even tried charming you. That’s why saying goodbye to you was even harder.

“You better come back, I’m gonna kill you if you don’t,” You whispered into his shoulder, your tears staining his uniform, “Promise me you’ll come back,” Bucky nuzzled his head further into your shoulder, tightening his grip around your waist. 

“Darlin’ I would never leave you,” Bucky lifted his head to wipe your tears, his heart plummeting at your expression, “I promise,” Before Bucky could continue, two warm hands pulled him away. He mouths a “sorry” but you don’t catch it.

Bucky spent the rest of the night gazing at new technology, mindlessly following Dot’s footsteps and subduing the pain in his chest by drowning himself in alcohol.

Bucky didn’t understand why you had such an impact on him—he didn’t even know you. Nonetheless, he was determined to find out, despite receiving nothing less than a disappointed look from Steve. He made his way to your room, a sense of anxiety spread throughout his body as he lifted his hand to knock. He listened for your footsteps, but he was met with pure silence except for his own heart hammering against his chest. 

Deciding to go with his instinct, Bucky entered the dark room. To his unfortunate surprise, you were not there. Just as he spun on his heel, his focus shifted to a black leather-bound book lying under the bed. He knew it would be wrong to go through it, but curiosity got the best of him. He flicked through the worn out pages, eyes flitting over your words. Not liking the feeling of guilt simmering in his mind, he returned the book to its original place, but not before noticing a photograph stashed in the back. 

That photograph triggered his mind, letting him relieve his 16th birthday. He remembered how much he used to cherish it, for you had given him the best present he could have ever asked for: a kiss on his cheek, and of course a limited edition vinyl of his favourite artist. Bucky smiled, reminiscing any remaining memories of his past. The photograph had captured the exact moment you had pressed your lips against his cheek, both your faces exuding happiness. The simple adoration displayed on your face made his heart clench.

A quiet cough resonated through the spacious room, pulling him out of the black hole of his thoughts. His eyes met yours in guilt, as you noticed the book in his hand. 

“I’m sorry,” Bucky spoke softly, unsure of your reaction. Truth be told, he didn’t know why he apologised. However, he rationalised that, knowing his past, he would have done something wrong to upset you.

“Why?” You replied, eager for him to continue.

yanno sometimes i don't think about them but sometimes they'll crop up in my memory and i just sit there, sobbing, as i remember best friends since childhood Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes were inseparable on both playground and battlefield

it just be like that

yanno'm'say'n
