#1042

A lot of fans of the old shows (and I say this as someone who is mainly a fan of the old shows) need to stop getting immediately condescending and rude to people who genuinely enjoy the new shows and were introduced to the franchise through them, especially when they clearly also expect them to convert to being fans of the old shows. “The shows you enjoy are actually shitty, if you want to be a real fan make sure you watch these other shows which are nothing like the shitty ones you liked” is not exactly a good selling point (obviously it’s not usually phrased literally like that, but that’s the basic sentiment I see) and it sucks seeing new fans get scared away because of that attitude. So I just also want to say to any new fans who found the franchise because of one of the new series: If you want to give the old shows a try too you should because many of the things you love about the new ones actually are very much part of the franchise as a whole! And even if you decide you mostly just enjoy the new series that’s okay, you’re still a real trek fan and please don’t let other people try to push you away from enjoying the things you enjoy! Many of us are still very happy to have you and see new people getting excited about the thing we all love ❤️

Fleeting - JHS (M)

Pairing: Hoseok X Fem!Reader

Theme: Smut, Angst, fwb au

Word count: 1042

Warnings: sexual themes, strong language, protected sex, and a little bit of an argument, fwb to strangers. Minors, go read your text books.

Summary: It's his birthday and you got a surprise for him but maybe not of the good kind.

A/N: I know I'm late.... My personal life is in shambles *Sigh*. But still hope my sunshine had his happiest birthday. And wishes for a great week to all of you as well. Enjoy.

********************

"I.. I am in love with you." The words spill out of his mouth in a very breathy way, almost as if those want to evaporate and disappear in the tense atmosphere of his dark room. 

You roll your hips roughly against his shaft this time as you feel your heat building in your abdomen. You pretend not to hear him. You don't want to hear him spilling those words. 

"Y/N, I love yo- fuck" he attempts to say it again but you cut him off by hoisting yourself up and jumping right back onto his cock like the greedy whore you are. 

"Ssshhh… babyboy. I'm close. Are you too?" You ask him while riding him as if it's the last day of your life. 

"Yes. I'm close. Fuck." He pants. His hands leave the hold of his bedsheet and take control of your tits. He knows you like to be touched there. And he is willing to do anything you like… anything. 

He twists your hardened bud between the thumb and index finger of his right hand. He takes another nipple in his mouth. Swirling his tongue around it, he rips a pretty moan out of your pretty mouth. 

"Suck" you order briefly and he obeys. 

His other hand leaves the engaged tit and follows the trail of your glistening folds. He pinches your clit and you curse. 

"Fuck, hobi! I'm gonna cum." You say. 

"Can we cum together?" He asks. You reply in affirmative by nodding your head. 

He starts rubbing your swollen clit right after receiving your permission. You too, start keeping up with his pace by rolling your hips harder and faster to reach your high together. And within a few moments you came, he followed right after spilling his load in the condom. 

You don't waste time on sliding him out of your cunt even though your limbs barely support your actions. 

You get into the washroom and reel your head back to the earlier incidents. 

Hoseok just confessed to you and you don't know what to do about it. Maybe for other girls of your age, it's a dream come true. Being loved by the person you love is a blessing. But you don't want blessings. You don't want settlement. You know your soul can't be confined within the barriers of love and longing. You need to break-free, that's what you were born for. 

You sigh, looking at your reflection. You know it's gonna break your heart, his heart but there's nothing you can do. Or even if there's something you can do, you're too reluctant to take any step and too greedy for your own freedom. 

You step outside after cleaning yourself and start to look for your discarded clothes. You don't look at him, even though you know he is staring at you. 

"What is your answer?" He asks and you still refuse to glance at him. 

"About what?" You slip into your panties. 

"About my confession, Y/N. What else?" He's annoyed and that's justified.

"Hoseok, no strings attached? Remember?" You finally give him a look, hooking your bra in. 

"Yeah. I know. But you know I have liked you this whole time, you're intelligent enough to trace that out by the way I behave around you. And I know you like me too. So why Y/N? What's wrong?" He's now standing right infront of you. He's looking at you with those beautiful almond eyes and you almost get lost. 

"You're wrong. I don't harbor such feelings for you." You reply, tearing your eyes away from him. 

"You can't even lie, Y/N." He smiles a knowing smile. 

"I am not lying. You know I don't do relationships. You have known me for years." You slip into your jeans walking away from him. 

"That's how I know that you like me back. I have seen you with enough guys to tell." He approaches you again. 

You turn your back at him and shut your eyes tight to control the sob that wants to leave your throat. 

He backhugs you, placing his chin on your bare shoulder. You stay still and let yourself calm down in his embrace. 

"Give me a chance, Y/N. Let's go for some dates. You won't know until you try. Please." He pleads as he places some soft kisses on the back of your shoulder and neck. 

A big sigh leaves your mouth as you prepare yourself to break his heart into pieces. 

"I'm leaving for Norway the day after tomorrow. I got a job there." His hands leave you the moment the words leave your mouth.

You turn to face him again and this time you prepare yourself to be broken. 

"And you chose to let me know now? Today? Just when I have exactly a day left with you?" Hot tears travel down Hoseok's face as he shakes his head lightly in disbelief. The look on his beautiful face makes you feel like a criminal and you probably are a criminal to break his heart like this. He takes a step away from you and no matter how strong you pretend to be, your heart drops into your stomach, that too in pieces. 

"I didn't know it would matter so much to you." You lie. 

"Just like you didn't know it's 35 past twelve and it's my birthday." He pauses, "and if you did, you intentionally chose to do this to me today." 

He is right. You intentionally did it all to him. So that he hates you, forgets you and moves on with his life, so you stay silent. 

You slip into your shirt, grab your bag and walk towards his door. 

You grab the doorknob for one last time, "Happy Birthday Hoseok. Stay blessed." You say before opening the door lightly. 

"And about the feelings part… I love you too. But I can't be the one for you. I'm… I'm extremely sorry." With that you leave his apartment, his life and all the things that could tie you back to this place. 

On the other hand, Hoseok stays still in his room, not knowing what to do about his feelings, about your confession and most importantly about you leaving him on his damned birthday. 

End.

Confession 1042

[qiangweirosa]

experience

" Mudano gives Jin relationship advice.

alternative title: mudano being the father who stepped up "

relationships: mudano & jin, background shiki/jin and mudano/kyoya tws: none! wc: 1042 extra: are there any tga fics on this website actually

read on ao3!

Shiki had been gone for a while. Where? Who knew. Jin certainly didn’t. And he didn’t care either. All that meant was that he finally had some peace and quiet in his tiny dorm room, and he was more than glad about that. 

Well. He had peace and quiet, until knocks sounded against the door. A few seconds passed. He was about to choose to ignore whoever was outside, when a voice called out his name. 

“Kougasaki? Are you in here?”

Mudano. Jin rolled his eyes. Great, now he couldn’t ignore whoever was outside. He sat up and walked to the door, grabbing his face mask from his bedside table and pulling it on - it was a useless gesture by now, really, everyone knew about his scars, especially Mudano, but it made him feel more comfortable. 

His teacher stood in the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest, his facial expression barely twitching as the door opened and the blond appeared in front of him. A silent tilt of the head, as Jin wondered what had brought Mudano over to his room. 

“Do you have time to speak? This isn’t related to school, or anything. I just have something to tell you.”

Jin frowned. Sure. Wasn’t worrisome at all. He shrugged and moved out of the way, inviting Mudano into the room. A second later and he was closing the door again, sitting on his bed as the teacher sat on the desk chair closest to him. 

Jin sat there in silence, waiting for Mudano to speak. It was unusual to see Mudano short for words - yet the ever so mysterious teacher was staring at the ground and seemingly in deep thought, playing with that ring on his hand. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally spoke up. 

“I’m just gonna cut straight to the chase. You like Ichinose, don’t you? Romantically.”

Jin almost choked on air. He coughed several times to adjust himself, and could feel his face heating up - oh god, he must be turning pink. 

Mudano waited in silence for Jin to come back to a composed state of self. As the blond took a few deep breaths, he looked back at his teacher and answered. 

“Maybe. Yes. What about it?”

Jin cringed at himself. This was the first time he’d admitted it out loud, so it made sense for him to be embarrassed about it; still, that didn’t make it any less humiliating. Mudano kept the silence going for a little while. 

“What I’m about to tell you, I say from experience. Don’t give up on him while you still have a chance.”

Jin’s eyebrows furrowed. Where was this coming from?? Was Mudano, his teacher , seriously giving him love advice? About Ichinose Shiki of all people? He must have been dreaming. 

He pinched himself. No, very much awake. Somehow that didn’t comfort him in the slightest. 

His confusion must’ve been visible, for Mudano decided to go on without waiting for a verbal answer. 

“I know you might think that it’s not worth it, or that you still have time to make up your mind. But that’s unfortunately not true. I’m not… implying that either of you will die, even though that’s a very real possibility, but in general. You may not have the same dreams. You may not follow the same paths. Kougasaki, what I’m telling you is to make sure that even if Ichinose isn’t part of your life anymore, you won’t have any regrets.”

Perhaps the dream option wasn’t so far off after all. 

Jin blinked. Twice. Thrice. He processed Mudano’s words. Realistically, he had a point - he might regret not ever confessing to Shiki. It had been a recurring plot point in all those shoujo manga Byobugaura liked to read. 

Still, Jin wasn’t really a romantic guy. Nor was he really a fan of anything related to emotions, really - which is why Shiki got on his nerves so often. He kept causing Jin to have so many feelings all the time and it made him sick. 

At some point, he realized he was still staring at Mudano in silence. He shook his head to clear his mind, and responded. 

“Assuming I agree with that - wouldn’t that possibly cause more problems? In case Shiki doesn’t feel the same, wouldn’t cohabitation with him become awkward?”

Jin voiced what he thought to be purely logical and coherent thoughts, and yet was only met by Mudano’s deadpan stare and a raised eyebrow. 

“That kid’s head over heels for you. It’s honestly a surprise he hasn’t confessed yet, but I assume that’s just because he doesn’t even realize he’s into you.”

Jin’s eyes widened and his mouth fell slightly open, surprise etching his features. He figured Shiki would rather be the type to be visibly obvious when in love; but perhaps he simply didn’t notice, being the subject of his affections. 

He heard Mudano sigh, a sign that he was about to speak again. 

“Seriously, though. Like I said, I’m speaking from experience. I also thought I didn’t need to confess, and kept making excuses not to, until I almost lost him.”

He probably meant Oiranzaka, Jin thought. Mudano waved the back of his left hand at him, the shiny wedding band catching the light of the room. 

“It felt awful. I regretted not keeping him closer for years. And I see my younger self in you, at least in this case. Don’t make the mistakes I did.”

At some point, the chair Mudano was sitting in had moved close enough for the teacher to only be at an arm’s reach from Jin. The student felt a hand on his head - a gentle caress, tender and caring, accompanied with a rare smile from his teacher. Jin almost teared up. This felt closer to paternal love than he had ever received from his actual father. 

“Got it?”

Jin nodded. 

“I’ve got it. I’ll think about it.”

Mudano hummed in approval, standing back up - and Jin would almost complain at the loss of the affectionate touch. Still, he tried not to think about it too much. 

Mudano soon left the room, and left Jin to stare at the bottom of the top bunk in deep thought. 

He’d consider confessing to Shiki.

Did somebody be saying Kiss Meme? 5. Accidental kiss for whoever you want! - @edencantstopfallininlove

Oh, now this could be fun. Thank you for this, @edencantstopfallininlove! (tagging you just in case your own tag doesn't work, because I seem to remember that being a thing at one point)

(question source: “F/O Kiss Meme” by self-shipper-snowdrop)

5. Accidental kiss (1042 words)

I decided to write this one for my selfship with Lora, considering the whole "both of us are in love with each other and everyone else in the party is well aware of this but neither of us can work up the courage to confess for ages" aspect that might make an accidental kiss amusing, hehe

It was a calm and clear start to the evening, and most of the party were all sat around a blazing campire as usual, having just finished a delicious meal of Ruska Dumpling Soup that Aegaeon had prepared. Only Haze and Ursula were absent, having briefly gone to collect some late-blooming flowers from the nearby fields together.

There were multiple different conversations going on as the group had separated into smaller clusters - Addam and Hugo were discussing their latest replica and mechanical creations at great length, while Avalon and Minoth were sat together and talking about.. something to do with elemental compatibility? Meanwhile, Jin and Mythra were helping Aegaeon clear up while also trying to have a civil conversation about cooking for once. This left Lora and Aline sitting next to each other by themselves, casually discussing the events of the day.

If not for all the other conversations, they might possibly have heard two quiet sets of footsteps approaching as Haze and Ursula made their way back to the camp. Haze was holding a basket of the flowers the pair had successfully collected, but as she saw the rest of the party in the distance, she stopped and turned to face the young Blade accompanying her.

"Hey, you should run up behind Aline and give her one of these flowers as a surprise. I think that would really make her smile!" she suggested.

"You.. you think so?" the shyer girl responded, looking up at Haze with a characteristic expression of apprehension. "I- I don't want to startle her or anything.."

"I'm sure it'll be fine!" Haze replied, smiling back. "Here, you can pick which one you give her."

"Um.. Okay.."

Tentatively, Ursula took a peek inside the basket the two had filled together, and decided to pick up a flowering piece of angel's sage, looking up at her friend again with wide eyes before letting herself get excited as Haze gave a confident nod of approval. As she watched the younger Blade start to run ahead, she decided to take out a blossom of glossy chamomile and do the same thing for her own Driver with a mischevious grin.

Meanwhile, Lora and Aline were still talking, though there had occasionally been moments where the two of them had drifted off into awkward silence as neither was sure what to say or to do with her feelings. On one of these instances, Aline had trailed off to turn and see what the others in the party were doing, which caused Lora to spot a small bit of spare soup on her cheek.

"Oh, you've got something on your cheek there-"

"Huh??"

Aline turned her head back to face Lora in surprise, causing her hair to swing around and nearly get caught on the liquid in the process.

"Wait!" Lora cried, hurriedly rummaging through her things for spare fabric. "Don't get your hair in it, I'll get it for you-"

Thankfully, she quickly found something to wipe away the stain with, leaving Aline to sit frozen where she was and let Lora do the work. She was staring down at the ground and trying very, very hard not to dissolve into a blushing mess from how close Lora's face was to hers. Lora, for her part, was the exact same way, thinking of both how easy it would be to kiss Aline here, and how absolutely mortified that would make her feel if she actually did it out of the blue like that.

The two were so focused (and/or distracted) that neither realised the meaning of the light and fast footsteps they could hear coming up behind them, nor had time to react as the source of those footsteps unfortunately tripped over a rock just as she got to her destination.

"Aah!"

Ursula had not seen the obstacle coming, and subsequently could not help but tumble forwards from her existing momentum with a soft but panicked cry. This tumble sent her crashing into Aline's back, inadvertently pushing her forwards without warning - and that push made her cheek collide directly with Lora's mouth.

Both of them gasped, as did Haze, though for a different reason - she had quickly come running after Ursula, and was already holding out her crosier to help heal her from the fall. Both Aline and Lora were now somehow even more bright red than before from embarrassment, and all they could do was stare at each other with wide eyes before Aline's attention was quickly dragged towards concern for her Blade.

"Oh, Ursula- are you alright, poppet??" she asked quickly, turning around and kneeling down to try and help her. The young girl had tears in her eyes, which glittered like snowflakes thanks to her ice-element powers.

"U-Um, I- I'm sorry..!" she whimpered back in a wobbling voice. "I didn't mean to run into you, I'm really sorry.."

"Please don't worry about that- I promise you, it's fine." Aline said, gently taking the girl's hand in reassurance. "You don't need to apologise for anything, I assure you. Are you okay, though?"

"Um.. Yeah, I think so.." she said softly, looking over towards Haze, who was expertly applying a stream of healing ether to her graze. "Th-Thank you, Miss Haze.."

"It's alright." Haze responded with a smile. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay!"

Lora, meanwhile, was still completely frozen from trying to process what had just transpired, and was staring down at the ground with wide eyes of shock and a bright-red face. None of the others would fault her for not moving to help Ursula - she would have come to her aid in an instant if not for what had just transpired, but all in the party were keenly aware that the girl was not always comfortable with having lots of people fussing over her all at the same time, so it worked out perfectly fine that she was not involved in the situation. All she could do was keep staring, and being extremely thankful that none of the others in the group had seen the entirety of what had just happened.

After all, what had just happened was that she'd just kissed her crush - by accident, admittedly, but still!

Pillow Talk (Mike Wheeler x fem!Reader)

Mike sighed, his breath warm and tickling your neck. You were currently entangled with him, both blissed out and in a state of contentment.

It was a warm summer night, the windows up by the ceiling in the Wheeler’s basement cracked open, letting in a little bit of night air. But it barely put a dent in the stifling heat. You didn’t mind too much, because most of it was coming from Mike’s body being so close to yours, and how could you complain about that? The overhead lights were on, unlike the lamps that were scattered around the room, but you could hardly tell because all the lightbulbs were out except for one. And even that was flickering in and out every minute or so. The fluorescent light, designed to be neon and bright, similar to what you might see in a school or public building, was on the other side of the room, so that shadows were cast over you and Mike. After what felt like an unusually needy and desperate love filled time you just shared, you were both very quiet, you laying on your back with your boyfriend tucked on top of you, head in the crook of your neck. You traced a small circle on the back of his shoulder with one finger, his bare skin as hot as if he had a fever. Just touching it made you shiver, even though you had had your hands all over him the entire night. It was times like these when you wished summer would never end. When you could just -ahem- make love to Mike forever and talk to him about anything and everything and play with his mop top of dark curly hair. When you could watch old creature features from the 50s and listen to his mom’s Beatles records. When you could tease him about everything and get teased right back. When you could kiss him on the corner of his lips, waiting for the smile that would always cross his face when you did that. When you could go outside and lay on the freshly mowed lawn at two a.m, holding hands. When he could make you peanut butter toast and you would sit at the kitchen table, pretending to be married and grown. When you would never have to deal with the real world. “Mike,” you said, in a whisper, carefully cutting through the blissful silence. “Mhm,” he murmured, moving his head down to rest more near your collarbones, lips leaving little vibrations on your skin as he went. You shivered under his touch and continued with what you were trying to say, “I- can we-,“ you stopped talking, and the only thing you could hear was the hum of the kitchen appliances running on the floor above you, along with Mike’s slow breathing and your own shallow breaths.

His nose brushed against your warm skin as he lifted his head up, dark eyes meeting yours. He looked so beautiful in the shadows, so perfect that it just made you want to cry more than you already wanted to. “What is it?” He asked softly, keeping one hand glued to your waist while the other reached up to caress your jawline.

“Mike?” You asked, and you could hear the shake in your voice. “Can we never grow up?” His eyes studied yours for a moment, before he dropped back down to press a kiss to your collarbone. He then laid his head back on your body with a sigh. “I sometimes wish the same thing,” he said. You smiled, slightly reassured, and stroked his hair. “That’s good. I sometimes think that I’m going crazy.” “You’re not,” he said firmly, tightening his grip around your middle before admitting, “I sometimes feel like I’m losing it too.”

“It’s like…” you started saying in a whisper. “Life moves so fast...and I want to grow up and experience new things, but I also, I also want to stay like this forever…” Mike smirked, and although you didn’t have a super clear view of his face, you knew him well enough to picture what his face would look like in good lighting. “You mean like this? Right now, here with me...naked in my basement? Or just as a teenager.” You silently laughed for a moment, and finally said “Uh, both.”

You closed your eyes, and couldn’t keep the grin forming on your face away. Mike always had a way of making you feel better. “I want to buy a cat.” “Sorry?” You asked, lifting your head up to see him better. You thought to yourself, did he seriously just say that? Well...okay then…

“I want to buy a cat…” he repeated, and he shifted, nuzzling into your chest.

“Um..?”

“Jeez sorry I thought we were confessing. You think you're going crazy, I want a cat,” you felt his shoulders move up in a shrugging motion.

You laughed, but then said, “Mike, you should get a cat.”

“I know, but my dad’s allergic,” he muttered.

“Screw him,” you giggled. “Or it can just live at my house. It would give you an excuse to come over more often.”

“That works,” Mike admitted.

“If It lives at my house, we’re naming it Fluffy.”

“Like in the Brady bunch? Hell no.”

“More like hell yes. My house, my cat.”

“Then what’s the point?” Mike chuckled. “It’s supposed to be my cat, and I’m naming Yoda. That’s final.”

You were quiet for a moment, and then you nonchalantly whispered into his ear, “Fluffy.”

“Yoda,” he whispered back.

You, meaning to kiss the top of his head, but instead accidentally pecking his ear, couldn’t help but giggling as you insisted, “Fluffy.”

“Noo,” Mike said, holding his face up close to yours, “Yoda.”

“Let’s not get a cat,” you said.

He shrugged, “Okay,” and laid his head back down, adjusting himself to get comfortable.

“You goin’ to sleep on me?” You teased, noticing his change in positioning.

“Mayyybe,” he said, and you could tell he was tired, his voice getting huskier and his eyes dropping.

“I love you…” you whispered, shutting your eyes.

He mumbled something back but you couldn’t really understand.

“I love you, Mike,” You said again, and started to drift off yourself.

You held two different dresses up to the mirror, frantically switching it back and forth as you held it against your body. This one is a bit too casual...but this is too short. You don’t want him to get the wrong idea. You let out an exasperated sigh and quickly scurry back into your closet, mumbling how you’ll never find the right outfit.

“Shang-Chi! What’s the weather going to be like tonight? Could you check it for me?” You feverishly sift through your clothes, unable to find the perfect outfit. The last time you were on a date was...well it’s been a long time. But a few weeks ago while at the farmer’s market, you collided with a handsome, blue-eyed stranger, knocking over the bag plums out of his arms.

“Bucky.” The blue-eyed stranger extends his hand, his warm smile pulls you in. You introduce yourself, gaze transfixed on his beauty.

“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking and oh shitーyour plums are all bruised now. Here I’ll getー.”

Bucky’s hearty laugh cuts you off, “Doll, it’s alright. They’re just fine. But you could repay with a date?”

You and Bucky exchanged numbers that day, promising each other that one of you would reach out. You weren’t even out of the parking lot when your phone chimed:

Bucky: Dinner next Saturday? I’d love to see you again.

For the first time in a long time, you felt giddy like a giddy 4th grader whose crush just gave them a valentine. You smiled and let him know you were available that night. You and Bucky called and texted nonstop from that day; even as you were getting ready, you were talking to Bucky, laughing at his use of emojis, heart soaring every time he called you ‘Doll’.

“My phone says it’s gonna be pretty chilly tonight. So dress warm.” Shang-Chi watched you rustle through your wardrobe, smiling to himself how cute you were when in a hurry. There was a pang in his heart when you told him about Bucky. About how you had met this handsome, blue-eyed stranger while at the farmer’s market. Maybe if he hadn’t declined your offer to go, you wouldn’t be going on this date. No. He should be happy. Right? Fuck.

“Shang-Chi!” Your voice pulls him out of his thoughts, “What do you think? Too much? Should I change?” You twirl, showing off your plaid skirt and black sweater, an uncertain smile on your face. An angel, Shang-Chi thought. You could’ve worn a brown paper bag and he’d still say you’re the most beautiful. “You look great, he’s going to love it.”

You send Shang-Chi a thankful smile, running back to your closet to grab your coat. “I’m going to see what Katy’s up to.” The sound of the microwave going off alerts him of Katy’s whereabouts; Shang-Chi pushes himself off your bed, his mind still stuck on the thought of you going on a date tonight. If only Shang-Chi just confessed his feelings for you sooner, it could’ve been him you were dressing up for, not Bucky.

“What’s with the long face? You look like someone just kicked your puppy.” Katy dumps the popcorn into a bowl, a knowing smirk on her face as she flops herself on your couch. “Does this have something to do with our best friend going on a date?”

Shang-Chi groans, knowing the teasing that Katy is about to torment him. He sits next to Katy, head turning when you walk into the room. Shang-Chi gazes at you, his eyes full of longing. Dammit, I wish she wasn’t going on this date.

“Did you say something Shang-Chi?” Yours and Katy’s conversation comes to halt, eyes now on Shang-Chi. “What? No-no, sorry. I was just thinking out loud about uh-what movie Katy and I are going to watch.” You nod, accepting his answer when two firm knocks echo in the hall.

“Oh my gosh! He’s here. Katy, how do I look?”

“Beautiful. Now go answer the door!” You let out a deep breath, smoothing your skirt before walking towards the door.

Katy turns around, finger pointed at Shang-Chi “You’re so jealous! Oh my gosh! You’re so lucky she didn’t hear you say that.” She laughs, returning to her seat on the couch.

Shang-Chi huffs, offended at Katy’s accusation. “I’m not jealous. I’m the most non-jealous person on the planet. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yea, totally not jealous.” Katy shoves a handful of popcorn into her mouth as she browses through Netflix. “But be honest with yourself, and with her. Tell her before it’s too late Shang-Chi.”

Shang-Chi knows Katy’s right, but you were about to go on a date. A date with someone who you seemed to really get along with. Was he really ready to bare it all? What if you didn’t feel the same way he felt? As cliche as it was, Shang-Chi would rather have you as a friend than lose you all together.

“I’m not jealous...I just want to make sure she’s safe okay?”

“Shang-Chi, she’s going on a date with an Avenger.”

“Katy, I’m an Avenger too! Remember meeting Wong and Doctor Strange? Yea, I work with them too now.”

“Which means you also work with Bucky. Plus she’s perfectly safe with him, the guy literally has a metal arm. He’s from the 40’s so you know he’s a gentleman.” Shang-Chi couldn’t help but agree. Maybe Bucky was a good match for you.

“Guys, this is Bucky. Bucky, this is Katy and Shang-Chi.”

“Nice to meet you Katy. Shang-Chi, welcome to the team.” Bucky smiles, giving them a small wave. “I promise I’ll have your best friend back by midnight.”

Katy waves her hand, “Go wild kids, stay out as long as you want!” You and Bucky chuckle and say your good-byes to head out for your date. Shang-Chi stares at the TV screen, mind still clouded on the thought of you. Maybe it is too late, maybe he’s letting the best thing slip away.

Katy lays her head against Shang-Chi’s shoulder, reassuring him “You still have time don’t worry. She’s still your girl, not even a 100 year old super soldier can sweep her off her feet.”

“Yea, let’s hope so.”

Back Together At Last

read it on the AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/41820948 by Lord_Mushroom_Kat ["Anakin" Obi-wan said, breathing it like a prayer, unbelieving. Anakin blinked at Obi-wan, once, struggling to believe it himself, somehow after everything he had done, he was able to redeem himself in the force and return to the light in death. Somehow, he was able to return to Obi-wan's side, where he had always been meant to be. Obi-wan looked as he had seen him last, the years plain on him, while he himself felt so much younger. "Obi-wan" Anakin replied, with feeling, just as struck, before he rushed forward to envelop Obi-wan in a hug. It was tender, being so close, he felt like the force was glowing around them, and he was able to feel Obi-wan's presence like he hadn't been able to in years, his pure force signature resonating around him, curling up next to his own. Obi-wan hadn't known how much he had needed this until he was wrapped up safely in Anakin. He felt the years fall off of him, no longer mattering in this moment now that he had Anakin by his side again, as it always should be, The Team, finally returned to each other after so long.] Obi-wan and Anakin have a proper reunion as force ghosts and it is very cathartic for both of them but also me.

Chapter 1042: Pardon the Interruption

I’m not going to have a lot to say on this one, considering it’s a fight-heavy chapter. Just a few observations:

First, I was expecting the Drake vs. CP0 agent to be more than a couple of panels. Hawkins did predict that Drake had a 1% chance of surviving the night; things aren’t looking good for him after this.

Second, there is barely anything left of Onigashima. Compare the size of the island when Kaido first lifted it in chapter 997

to its size in 1042:

And then Kaido sends a giant blast through the island, which won’t help.

Third, are we getting some hints that Luffy may have awakened his fruit?

Honestly, I kind of hope that comes later for him since that was the power-up Law and Kid got in this fight while Luffy already got his advanced Conqueror’s coating. I liked that the Kid and Law vs. Big Mom fight brought us back to the power of Devil Fruits; there’s been so much focus on haki that it sometimes feels like the story puts it ahead of DF power, but that fight brought back that DF, in the hands of the right users, are just as potent as advanced haki.

If Luffy also has awakened his fruit, it feels like he’s moving that much far ahead of his rivals. I completely expect him to do so at some point, but I was hoping it would be in the future (also leaving room for the other captains to have their own level ups as well).

I also confess that I have a hard time making out what’s happening in a lot of the panels during fight sequences, so I’m just not going to comment on most of it.

We do, however, see that Luffy is reaching his limits in the fight. My first reaction was “Already?” but then, like Kid and Law’s fight with Big Mom, Luffy's fight with Kaido has been going on off-screen for a lot longer than on-screen.

And then, the remaining CP0 agent interrupts the fight, much like Kaido’s fight with Oden was interrupted all those years ago. Luffy goes down. And Kaido? Devastated.

RIP CP0 dude. I don’t think Kaido is going to let you go easily for this one. He looks like he knows it, too, in that final panel.

I do have to say, I like that we’re getting a twist in this fight. However, it does feels reminiscent of Luffy’s fight with Katakuri when Flampe interrupted the fight. I hope we’re not getting a redux. Very interested to see what happens next.

Any ideas for File 1100? What can we expect?

My main prediction is that just like how we got ShinRan developing case (Crimson School Trip) in the file 1000 milestone, we will finally get the official Heizuha confession case in this next 100-chapter milestone. We are also currently in volume 103, and Gosho has consistently given us Momiji-Iori cases every 5 volumes since Iori's introduction (vol 93: Iori intro + Kendo case -> vol 98: Momiji's challenge -> vol 103: ?).

Also, Momiji actively seperated Heiji and Kazuha only twice so far (File 1042 & 1088), so third time would fit to be the charm, where Momiji fails and the confession successfully happens.

Just like in File 1000-1005, where it lead to main plot progression (Rum seeing Shinichi on the news), the same could happen with a Heizuha confession case involving Ōoka family, since they are connected to the Haneda and Kuroda, and "Vader" (mysterious old man) could also get involved with his driver, since he was also in the previous Ōoka case in Kyoto and could be connected to them as well.

We could also get Conan finally sharing Rum and Kohji case information with Heiji and have them discuss it, which has been way overdue. We got a tease of it in File 1069, where Conan started reaching out a little by trying to get second opinion without revealing too much, so a long Heiji-centric case is the perfect timing for it to properly happen.
