#could..he..be...my..s....s...soulmate?🥹

[mimipunk]

It can't be only in my imagination, the universe is giving me obvious and numerous signs about a person. It shouldn't be considered delusional just because he's kinda famous or never heard of me in his conscious life. 😳 It must be real.... All those signs seem to lead somewhere...if i keep a positive energy magic might happen

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Yes, take it, slut"

"It's not that big of a deal."

"God, why do you always do this"

"You're impossible."

"Then I guess we gotta be quiet, huh?"

"We're trapped."

"Shh, you wouldn't want anyone to hear, or do you?"

"You're taking me so well, baby"

"Good girl" *for fem readers; adjust accordingly!*

"Tsk, uh-uh, c'mere, honey"

"You always feel so good around me, baby"

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Here, let me help you."

"Yeah, are you a cockhungry slut, now?"

"I hardly think that that's necessary."

"Don't be a brat, baby."

"Aw, does it feel good right there?"

"I'm sorry!"

"What do you want from me?!"

"I didn't mean to!"

"What do you think you're doing here?"

[lazythinking]

incase no one else has said it…. YES YES YES on the d/s w art who likes degradation ‼️‼️

i will always ride for my submissive men 🫡

YES! We love subby men around here 🥹

Art is most definitely subby. He probably inches closer and closer to this realisation over the years. By the time he's a veteran of the game, he knows exactly that this is what he needs: to be degraded by you.

It's become such a core component of your relationship now that neither of you can imagine a life without it. Art can get neurotic; he gets scared, he gets anxious, he doesn't know most of the time how to get it out of his head and he is especially prone to bad decisions in this mindset. But after being with Tashi, he's not going to accept your words when all you do is coo and soothe him. He thinks he deserves to be put in his place, to be punished for his behaviour.

It's borderline therapeutic for him when you clutch his face and tell him how bad he's been, playing so awfully. He'lll try to apologise, say that it was only an off day. But you don't accept any excuses. You make him kneel, and he looks up at you with such wide-eyed anticipation, eagerly awaiting the sweet cruelty of his mistress, the press of your heavy heel against his skin.

For you, it's probably a way of regaining control. It’s tough when he’s this famous, and you get relegated to playing the role of the WAG, every other aspect of your life looked over in favour of this one thing. You love Art, don’t get it twisted—but it’s difficult when the media and paparazzi turn your marriage into a spectacle, a distortion of what it is. So this is your little secret, something only you and Art would ever know and the press could never find out. That your husband, the big famous tennis legend, cries and begs for you to be cruel to him. He loves the tenderness in your degradation, how you soothe him as you strike him with your words, reduce him to a sobbing mess with your sultry tone and incessant scolding. You press down against the dip in his chest that connects his pecs to his abs, firmly and slowly, the pressure exerted making him gasp; he knows that this is it: that he belongs under your boot.

And equally important is what happens when you wipe him clean and cradle him to slumber. Aftercare is not a bonus. It’s the second part of the package, and an essential part at that. Sometimes, Art cries harder when you hold him and tell him it’s okay than he does during your D/S scenes. It’s the same logic as his tennis training sessions, really. He just needs to be pushed to his limits, to be tested to new heights, and to be told how well he’s done afterwards, that he’s made it to the end. He sobs like a child in your arms when you let him lay on your chest, but you know that they’re only tears of joy and relief, because this is it for both of you. Art is everything to you: your dog, your slave, your servant, your husband, your lover, your soulmate, your other half. He has to be all these things, none of it is negotiable, and you’re so accepting of all of it that he can only weep in happiness that he has you. This is how he loves, and it is how you love, too.

[sugurugetofavoritemonkey]

Hi, Tatsuo! This has been in my head for quite a few times, may I request a story when suguru's s/o who's a sorcerer asked him, "If I were just a normal human, would you let me live?"

considering their relationship and how much they love each other 🥹 thank you very much!

Welcome my love ! 💗 I absolutely adooooore this request and was very inspired by this idea so thank you a lot for coming in my inbox with that wonderful story ! I hope I did good with the little thing that I wrote and don’t hesitate to come back here to tell me if you liked it, have a very nice day/night 💓

You were peacefully resting your head on Suguru’s lap, his monk attire feeling soft under your cheek as you felt your soulmate tenderly caressing your hair while he hummed calmly to you. And before you know it, the question escapes your lips in a whisper.

« If I were just a normal human, would you let me live ? »

Suguru’s hand stilled in your hair at the question, and at this exact moment you were afraid of the sheer honesty of his answer, closing your eyes in prevention. But when his hand started to caress your head as gently as before, you opened them back again.

« I know that the answer I should give you is no, I know it…after all I…I…killed my parents…I had to…I really had to….I had to », Suguru repeats these same words as a way to persuade himself, his voice sad and strangled as he tries his best to hold his ground, he couldn’t waver in front of you he thought, as he must be strong for you in order to protect you. You hold his free hand tighter, effectively soothing his pain away. His voice then starts to be perfectly clear and confident with his honest answer to come, the only one that Suguru knows to be real.

« But I also know that I could never live without you from now on, I know it’s selfish and doesn’t make any sense with my plan, but…but…I would burn the whole world to the ground in order to save you, than to live a single day without seeing your pretty smile, or feeling your soft lips against mine, hearing you say that you love me or feeling your hand caressing my cheek when we look at each other in the night, that I am sure of. »

After Suguru has finished talking, you try your best not to let out all the tears that gathered around your eyes. And you could have, if Suguru wouldn’t have gently took your face in his hands in order to make you sat up and look at him. Just for you to notice that you weren’t the only one being moved by his declaration, a few tears rolling on Suguru’s alabaster skin, as he closes the gap between your bodies to kiss you fervently, his hands sitting on your jaw as a way to deepen the embrace even more. Suguru needed to feel your presence, to show you that he meant those words and that right now he was okay with being selfish if it meant that he could live the rest of his life kissing you everyday like he does at the moment.

I found your “I’ll Die When I’m Dead” fic and I love it so much 😭

I love Tim’s relationships with everyone they’re so unique and I love how you explore all of them! I especially love his relationship with Young Justice - platonic soulmates where it’s ride or die like that are the BEST. 🥹

I’m also curious as to where the plot line with Dick will go now that he has finally realized that his love is selfish with the help of Life stepping in. Go Life! 🎉

I was kinda curious if you had a particular endgame in mind? Or endgoal I guess? I know asking for an end chapter count is usually impossible but sometimes authors can give a guesstimate lmao

If not, that’s totally fine! I’m enjoying reading about Tim’s antics with Time and Death (I love Time - I feel like they’re kinda like a feral cat that now likes Tim and now wishes they could have him be their favored too… can someone hold the favor of two almighty entities? 🤔 If so, I feel like Tim would have Time’s favor since he is “adequate” I believe the word was 😂).

Thank you for writing this fun fic! I have it in my marked for later so I can be sure to get updated when a new chapter gets posted. I think the next fix of yours I’ll dive into will probably be the one where Tim gets turned into a toddler. That sounds like pure chaos and I am HERE for it! 😈

I'm so happy you like IDWID!!! 🥰 (it's my favourite one to write) Thank you! I love writing platonic soulmates, or just platonic relationships in general, it feels like there's a lot to explore there in a way people usually only reserve for romance. YJ is so much fun to write because they're kind of crazy and are definitely ride or die for each other 💜

Trust me, Dick still has a journey ahead of him, but it'll be worthwhile. I've got most of his next chapter ready, just a few more edits here and there needs to be done and then we'll see him again soon.

I do have an ending outlined, one I think will make sense for the characters. I've estimated that the work will be wrapped up by chapter 70 and I'm hoping to be done by February at the latest, so wish me luck!

Time does have feral cat energy 😂 most of my characters do, really. I can't answer anything concerning the favoured as it would be giving away elements of the story (sorry!) but you're questions will get answered soon(ish)

Oh, toddler Tim is something 👀 (very different from IDWID Tim) I hope you have fun with it! Thank you for sending this, I'm so glad you're enjoying my work(s) so far 💜

[pearl-blue-musings]

hi mootie 🥺💖 i saw your post and was wondering if i could send you an ask for my fav, albedo, with maybe the soulmate trope? i’m always such a sucker for it 😭💖

🥺🥹

I’ve gotchu babe

The quiet solace of the mountain side provides the perfect soundtrack to paint what he sees. Albedo sighs as he looks at his paints, unable to differentiate from the colors he has at his arsenal. He shuts his eyes and shakes his head as he furrows his eyebrows. Albedo hopes one day, he’ll be able to see the colors of all his paintings. But that would require one thing.

Meeting his soulmate.

As a knight, he knows his chances of meeting anyone of that capacity is lowered. And as much as that makes his heart lurch, he knows it’s for the best; even for someone like him. Based on the varying levels of gray, he hopes that what he paints will make sense upon the day he’s able to successfully see all colors. But right now, he’s okay with understanding the many, many shades of gray.

It is boring, he admits. And that’s why he has alchemy, and his painting, mentoring Sucrose-

“S-someone help me!”

The sound of someone screaming for help alerts his senses of helping others. He quickly puts his paints down and follows the sounds of the screaming, running and drawing his sword at the upending danger. Albedo slides down a pathway and hides in the bushes to see what the commotion was about. In his visage, he sees a a group of angry and riled up hillichurls surrounding a lonely soul. He’s unable to get a full view of them, but then uses his vision to draw the hillichurls away from the person in danger. Once the creatures are aware of Albedo’s presence, they turn toward him and he’s finally able to see them.

And the blast of color the follows.

Albedo is too awestruck to fight to his fullest capacity, something you’ve seen him do on many occasions. You’ve always seen the knight from afar, being into alchemy and wanting to learn from him someday. Your own studies had brought you to the mountain, but you were unprepared for the amount of hillichurls in your location. You were just looking for materials to create a new potion when you were surrounded. In your flight mode, you yelled for someone to come help you, unsure if anyone would actually help you. You were surprised to see some Geo vision in action. You finally looked over and suddenly your world exploded in color. Your breath was taken away and you fell. Your eyes tether back and forth as the sky illuminates in a blue, the snow a bright white, the hillichurls a beautiful coarse brown.

And Albedo’s honey golden eyes that you know you can get lost in.

Once Albedo finally takes care of the hillichurls, he slowly approaches you and extends a hand. The color of your eyes takes him aback and he can’t help the rush of red that dons his cheeks. You take his hand and he pulls you up. For what feels like minutes, the two of you just take in each others appearances with wanderlust gazes. He smiles gently at you and interlocks your fingers.

“It appears we are soulmates. I look forward to getting to know you, all of you.”

Rekindled ❤️

(A continuation of "Broken Promise")

To Anonymous: Thank you for reading my original story and for your request! It makes me so happy knowing you enjoyed it 🥹 I know my story is pretty lengthy, but it covers a lot of ground! I had so much fun writing it 🖤

Original Anonymous Request: "I absolutely loved that last fic! Anyway we can get something where the two end up reconnecting, rekindling, and end up together in the end after Christian’s divorce? I feel like even though they had a rough relationship growing up, you can’t tell me they aren’t soulmates. You can’t tell me this man had secretly loved here since they were young and didn’t realize it until she got into her high school and college era. I love this so much dude 😩🫶🏼❤️"

Side note: This story is officially complete. I won't be adding anything else to it. You can read the first part of the story here and also the prequel to the story here! Thanks for following along 🖤

Adam noticed that you had been MIA again for the last half hour of your party. He knew you couldn’t have gotten far, so he started searching the house for you. He was about to knock on your bedroom door, his fingers already against the wood but he stopped when he heard you crying. His heart sank as he stood and listened to your cries turn into sobs! When he couldn’t take it any longer, he opened your door just a crack and spoke softly, “Hey, sis. What’s wrong? Can I come in?” You were curled in a ball on your bed with your face buried in your hands, but you managed to let out a pathetic “yes” in response. He came and sat at the foot of your bed, fidgeting while trying to figure out how to proceed with your conversation. “Did something happen at the party? Talk to me, sis,” he prodded. When you sat up and looked your brother in the eyes, the flood gates opened, words and tears flowing freely, leaving you out of breath by the time you were finished. It was obvious the more you carried on, the more Adam’s anger grew. His hands were balled into fists that rested on his thighs and his jaw was clenched so tightly you don’t know how his teeth didn’t break! You didn’t go into every detail about the relationship you and Christian had before, sparing him the part about losing your virginity to him, but everything else was no longer a secret. Hurt flashed in his eyes when you apologized for not telling him sooner, leaving you wishing that you could take it all back and rewrite the past. In between sniffles you peered over at your brother who was clearly conflicted on how to feel about the situation, and he damn near exploded when you asked him what he was thinking. With every word he said, his voice became more elevated, “What am I thinking? WHAT am I thinking right now? I’m thinking about how my baby sister and my best friend kept this huge secret from me for 2 years. I’m thinking about how stupid I am for not seeing how things really were that summer. I must be going fucking blind and need to get my eyes checked! I’m trying to come up with a reason not to kill that blonde son of a bitch with my bare hands right now! He not only made you cry again, but he broke a promise. That’s unacceptable in my book."

You begged and pleaded with Adam to calm down when he jumped up off your bed and darted out the door in search of Christian. Rage was radiating off him as he checked behind every door, looking for his best friend around every corner in the house before finding him sitting outside on the front porch. The loud thud the door made when Adam threw it open made everyone jump! “What the hell, man? You alright?” Christian asked as he stood up. Adam walked over to him and got mere inches away from his face and shouted, “No, dumbass! I’m not alright! I know about you and my little sister. I know all about the summer you shared!” Christian’s eyes darted between yours and your brother’s, unsure of how to proceed. You pulled on Adam’s arm trying to get him to come back inside, but he brushed you off. Your brother’s chest was rising and falling rapidly with each shallow breath he took, the veins in his forehead protruding while he waited for Christian to say something. “Look, Adam we were going to tell you. Time just got away from us, and our relationship was over at the end of the summer anyways. It’s in the past now,” he explained, but Adam wasn’t having any of it. Your brother shoved Christian once, making him stumble back a little before shoving him again and again. “You’ve had 2 years to tell me asshole! How could you keep something like that from me, man?! And why my baby sister? Why her?!” Christian grew more irritated the more Adam jabbed his finger into his chest, and the atmosphere quickly became more tense. You knew you had to try and separate the two of them and you gave it your best effort when you cried out, “Please, Adam! Go back in the house and try to calm down. You’re not thinking straight right now, and I don’t want this to get any worse. I’m begging you! Please!” Something made Christian snap, one could blame it on Adam’s harsh words or his death stare, but what came out of Christian’s mouth next knocked the wind right out of you without even being touched, “You make it sound like this was all my doing! Y/N isn’t innocent in all this you know! It takes two to tango and boy did we tango a lot that summer!”

You weren’t sure what was louder, Adam shouting “YOU FUCKED HER?!” or the sound of his fist connecting with Christian’s face. One punch led to two and eventually both men ended up rolling around on the ground! After Christian landed a couple punches of his own on your brother’s face, he had him pinned to the ground. It didn’t last long though since Adam’s 6’5 frame overpowered him! Your brother’s voice was eerily calm when he spoke again and you could see the anguish written on his face, “First you take my little sister’s innocence, then you break the promise you made the both of us! Not to mention you kept all of this from me. Go fuck yourself.” He let go of Christian as he stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He immediately clutched his ribcage as pain radiated from the area, and winced when he touched the giant goose egg that was already forming on his forehead. Christian didn’t look any better while he laid on the ground groaning and trying to catch his breath. No further words were shared between any of you that night. Everything that did- and didn’t- need to be said was already out in the open. When your mother caught wind of the situation, she was thankful no one was seriously injured and that no one in the neighborhood called the police. Later on, you looked out the front window and noticed Christian was no longer there. He must’ve gone to his parent’s house when he was finally able to peel himself off the ground. You didn’t see Christian again after that night. Your brother didn’t talk to you for weeks after everything went down the way it did. You called him hundreds of times and sent countless text messages, but you never got a reply. You apologized and begged him to talk to you in every voicemail you left him. Eventually you got the hint and gave him the time and space he needed even though it hurt like hell not being able to talk to your big brother. You could only hope that what they say is true, “time heals all wounds.”

1 year later ⏭️

Almost a month after the fight happened, Adam started talking to you again! The two of you had several long and difficult conversations about everything that went on the night of your graduation party and the summer you and Christian spent together. While things felt like they were back to normal, you knew deep down inside that your relationship with your brother had been altered a little bit. You were shocked to learn that Christian was the one to call Adam and make amends with him! They somehow worked through everything and rekindled their friendship. He even asked Adam to be the best man at his wedding!

“You know you’re invited too,” your mom’s voice startled you when she walked into the kitchen unannounced. You had been staring at Christian’s wedding invitation that seemed to mock you every time you approached the fridge. It took everything in you not to yank it down and rip it to shreds! “There’s no way I’m going! It must’ve been an oversight on someone’s part including my name on it. Do me a favor, don’t write my name on the wedding card you got them.”

Christian’s big day had eventually come and gone, and you made sure to avoid hearing anything about it. One day when you were in the checkout line at the grocery store, a magazine cover caught your eye. You tossed it in the cart when you noticed who was on the front and looked over it in your car. You sat in the parking lot for a good 30 minutes crying over the stunning picture of Christian and his new bride. You read over the article more times than you should’ve, eyes skimming over the words that described every detail of their grand affair. Your heart was aching by the time you tossed the magazine into the backseat, the realization settling in that you and Christian were nothing more than a long-gone memory.

Over the next several years, Adam’s popularity in the professional wrestling world continued to skyrocket. He was definitely a fan favorite! While you enjoyed watching him achieve his career goals and dreams, your favorite thing he accomplished was marrying his wife and giving you two beautiful nieces. Seeing him this happy meant the world to you, and you could only hope that you would find the same happiness one day too. You were thriving in your own ways, having a successful career of your own, a great group of friends that you adore, checking things off your bucket list left and right, and spending time with your mom every chance you got. You focused on the things that really mattered to you and embraced your independence! As far as you knew, Christian and his wife were doing well but you hadn’t heard anything about them in a long time. Even though you tried to forget him, the memories of growing up together and falling in love with him crept in your mind from time to time. There had been several guys that tried to pursue you over the years, but none of them ended up capturing your heart the way that Christian did. You had been in one long term relationship that helped ease the sting of loneliness, but you knew it wasn’t fair to keep them around when your heart still longed for someone else. You eventually let them go, and the sadness in their eyes when you told them it was over still haunts you to this day.

For Adam’s last match before he officially retired, he wanted you and your mom ringside along with his wife and your nieces to cheer him on! You were hesitant at first to do it, but you agreed when your brother reassured you that Christian wouldn’t be there due to having other obligations. Everything with Adam’s match went well and it was over in the blink of an eye! All 5 of you girls cried when the referee gave the final 3 count as Adam laid in the center of the ring. During the commercial break he walked over and hugged each of you and thanked you all for loving him and supporting him all this time. The company he worked for was throwing him a party after the show was off the air, and once it began, he was being pulled in every direction as more and more people wanted to congratulate him. Your mom was with your nieces at the dessert table while your sister-in-law mingled with some of the female wrestlers. You found yourself alone standing at a tall cocktail table sipping on your drink, just taking in the different sights and sounds of the party. Out of the corner of your eye, you thought you saw someone standing near your table, but when you turned to get a better look, they were gone. You brushed it off and returned your gaze to the party. “Come join us aunt Y/N!” your nieces called out to you from the dance floor. You weren’t really in the mood to dance, but what kind of aunt would you be to decline such a sweet invitation?

“Again! Again!” your nieces cheered as you twirled them around simultaneously! The song playing was upbeat and fun and you were enjoying laughing and smiling with your favorite little girls. All too soon it started to fade out and was replaced by a slow song instead. Everyone except for a few couples left the dance floor, and you were on your way back to your table when an old familiar voice stopped you in your tracks, “Hey, Y/N. It’s…been a long time.” Christian’s greeting instantly took you back to the night of your graduation party when he addressed you the same way. Your stomach did a flip when you turned and took in the sight of him. He was still as handsome as ever; time had clearly treated him well! Your reply was shy and quiet as his blue eyes bore into you, “Hi, Christian…” He cleared his throat before speaking again, clearly just as nervous as you were being face to face after all this time. “Um, would you like to dance?” he asked sheepishly. You were hesitant at first, but the way he was looking at you made your resolve fade and the next thing you knew; you had your arms wrapped around his neck and the two of you were swaying along with the music.

A few moments passed in silence, the both of you unsure of what to say but Christian eventually spoke up, “You look great, Y/N. How are you?” His compliment made a small smile form in the corner of your mouth which made him smile too. “I’m fine, thank you. But um, what are you doing here? I thought you couldn’t make it tonight. If you haven’t already, you’ll have to find Adam! I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you,” you replied. “I decided being here for Adam was more important that my original plans. I watched the match from backstage. I was also hoping you would be here. It’s good to see you, Y/N.” His last few words made you blush, but the pink that covered your cheeks faded away when you remembered an important detail, Christian is married! You dropped your arms from around his neck causing concern to envelop his handsome features. “Where’s your wife?” you asked, even though you didn’t want to know the answer. His response shocked you, “Actually, we’re divorced. Everything was finalized a few months back. Marrying her was a mistake and it’s something I deeply regret. I had no idea what I was doing back then and I sure as hell don’t know what I’m doing right now, but I had to see you Y/N. Over the years I probably asked Adam and your mom about you more than I should’ve, but it made me happy knowing that you were doing so well. I never stopped thinking about you, not even once! I’m sorry it took me so long to realize what an idiot I am. I just hope I’m not too late.”

It had been 4 months since Adam’s retirement party. 4 months since that night ended with Christian asking you if he could see you again. 4 months since you and your soulmate rekindled your love for one other. It’s been quite the journey to get to this point, but you’re so thankful you and Christian found your way back to each other. Everyone knew that it wouldn’t be long before Christian would propose to you, and you couldn’t wait to be his wife! When the time comes for you to recite your vows to one another, Christian would be making a new promise to you that he would continue to love you for the rest of your lives and the tears he will make you cry that day will be tears of pure joy.

Here is my biggest theory about your works, it's a bit crazy but I feel like it could work. You gave me the green light to share my theories... I couldn't wait for this one. 🫣 After this, I'll stop for now, ahahah.

We know that (O/N) is an ordinary human who can still see curses. Strangely, her children haven't inherited the Gojo powers (or they haven't yet manifested the Gojo genes), but I have the impression that they have an inherited power related to time. If it's not Satoru who passed on this power to them... could it be... yes! None other than Mrs. (O/N) Gojo!

Now it's going to get a little crazy and complicated.

Sugawara no Michizane, the direct ancestor of Gojo Satoru who lived in the Heian era. We don't know much about him, but I need to introduce him for some coherence in my theory. 👀

Now that I've laid the groundwork for the theory, let's get to the heart of the matter: I think that all the series (Kaleidoscope, Grand-Duc vampire, Mafia, and even Elf Emperor) are connected.

What if (O/N) was the direct descendant of a clan from the Heian era that was forgotten or exterminated (maybe a clan too powerful for its own good and therefore became inconvenient for other families? Idkk just an idea), a clan whose inherited power is closely linked to time. And what if she wasn't just a direct descendant, but a reincarnation of a person from that family?

We know that the concept of the soul is very complex in JJK and has an important place that has not yet been properly defined.

A soul that made a vow to always return to Sugawara no Michizane, or rather the soul of Gojo Satoru.

We know that there are multiple alternative futures, and perhaps unconsciously (O/N) influences the choice of the future to always stay with Satoru. That would be her power. She can influence time. This could explain why Satoru is still alive in Kaleidoscope. (What happened in the manga is an alternative future that (O/N) has discarded, and the story has taken another path)

Now, how is this connected to the other series? I think it's part of her power, which is literally space-time. In alternate worlds, she influences the future so that the two souls constantly reunite.

Strangely, they always find each other, regardless of the era and races. They always end up together in the end, for better or worse:

She becomes a human in the vampire world but in turn becomes a vampire to stay with her beloved for eternity.

She is originally a human who finds herself in the elven world of the Emperor after marrying him, but the flower she eats changes her body to become an elf and stay with the Emperor for many centuries.

And this could explain why Satoru is always drawn to her despite the alternate dimensions, like with Yakuza Satoru. His soul desperately cries out to find its missing piece, literally his soulmate. And (O/N)'s soul does everything to answer Satoru's call.

- Machi 🦋

Ps : I hope that was clear enough; I'm really too invested 🤣 It could be better worked on certain points, what do you think?

I would have never thought someone would connect all my series into a web, aweee I'm too flattered! 🥹🫶🏻 HUHUHUHUHU you have my heart~

One— yes you are right relating to Kouki having the technique related to time~ Saika's technique is something that can be learned but not achieved by anyone so let's give credit to Satoru for knowing how to utilize revere cursed energy for that... as for the coming two munchkins who know, they may or may not even have a curse energy.

No worries I know Satoru's ancestor very well, he's a main figure in one of the series (Limitless Series)... I'm foreshadowing in this note regarding the series and your analysis.

Okay... so I will not close that speculation that Y/n came from a powerful forgotten line because I did have an idea similar to this. The Chiba Clan is a descendant of Taira no Masakado. It is a clan linked to be one of the Three Great Onryo of Japan, which Sugawara no Michizane belongs to... But it's quite a minor clan now.

But again I am not claiming that she came or did not come from a sorcerer clan because as far as her background goes and the relevant info for KSeries, we have established that Y/n can see curses but she does not have sufficient technique or combat abilities to be a sorcerer. And another character in KSeries already have the surname of Chiba. I guess, I'm more focused on what's relevant with regards to the series, so this kind of suggestion does fuel my mind HSKHSKHSK~

For your note that Y/n discards any other instances that have no Satoru in them, I believe that is more linked to Kouki's ability, if one is following KSeries for a long time, you would have come across the drabble where Kouki leaped through time and went back to the past, so this ability is rather with Kouki than Y/n. Because again we are keeping the only relevant background that she is really just an ordinary woman who happens to have sight to see curses and eventually worked as a window for the Jujutsu Tech that's how Satoru met her.

AHHHHH I freakin love this theory...

It's just that... your theory literally fits so perfectly in Limitless Series which is the most on-hold series in this corner *sighs* 🥹🥹🥹

For the Vampire Duke Satoru I would say that I'm doing fingers crossed on that because Sukuna got her first, I'm not going to lie on that one. They represent the Fate vs Destiny.

For the Elven Emperor Satoru I would say they're simply the endgame for each other. They signify surpassing boundaries.

As for your theory, this one literally transcends universes. Really... I'm touched by the effort and thought you've put into this Machi, if I could I would have spoiled you but I must not AHAHAHAHA, even though I am dying to share my thoughts to anyone ASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM

Anyway, yeah~ I love your theories and it reminded me of the two-shots I published after Satoru's 236 in the manga, link is here...

One is that, when I write to Satoru there's a passage I read over and over when I was starting it goes something about...

"the stars will rise and wane but I will find you in every universe that has 'you' in it and love you all over again."

—and I couldn't be happier enough to find someone who actually noticed it!

Thank you Machi!! I love your theory~ it's literally my tea for tonight~

[willowser]

pls more touya soulmate au!! your tags have me dying, it’s just all so tragic 🥹🥹

isn't it !!!

and what if — it's not you that's hesitant. it's him.

(tw: domestic abuse—not from touya—and suicidal ideation ?? idk how this happened, i'm sorry LOL)

i picture you as — the child of some socialite. your mother's family has always been wealthy, been involved in — let's say — designing hero costumes. haute hero fashion, or something. your mother hosts a lot of events and parties you're expected to attend and your family is well known. elites.

you're engaged to a man everyone thinks is your soulmate — but you know he's not. not because he's only with you for your money or because he hits you, but you feel nothing for him. not even a smidgen. pity, maybe, if you had to assign a label to it. there are no sparks or butterflies in your stomach, not like there used to be; now the only drop of your gut is from his fist.

it's only because of such violence that dabi even approaches you. initially because he plans to smite your little fiancé to nothing, but the strike across your cheek is over and done with before he's able to get out of the shadows, cast with a quickness that only shows your fiancé's knack for being discrete. you're left shivering and bruised on the balcony of some fancy hotel, looking out over the skyline as the party continues without a hitch behind the french doors.

"should ice that." he rasps, still hidden, though it doesn't seem to matter; you don't even spare him a glance. "will bring down the swelling."

you hum, leaning far over the edge as your hair blows in the wind. "they won't notice," he's heard your voice, sure, but it's never been spoken to him and he hates the grip it gains on his chest. "and if they do, then they won't care."

"sounds pretty fucked to me."

at that, you laugh, slipping out of your designer heels and bunching up your designer dress so that you can climb up onto the ledge, wavering as you hold your arms out. the sight makes him sick, draws him out of the shadows with his hands into fists, sweat beginning on the back of his neck.

dabi comes to stand right behind you and — you look like some kind of angel, wrapped in the golden city lights from far below. saliva pools in his mouth because he could gag; at himself, at the worry pooling in his stomach. even a dark thought crosses his mind, one that confirms everything he's been trying to deny: would be my soulmate that killed themselves right in front of me.

"get the fuck down."

you shrug, which is awful, and you still haven't looked at him so he doesn't even know if this shit is real. maybe he's having some kind of allergic reaction or his heart is giving out finally or something. no way to tell for sure until he sees your face, until he sees whatever crosses it.

whatever you murmur gets lost in the whipping wind — but he thinks it sounds like nobody would even notice.

he grabs you so fast, arms fitting around the curve of your waist like they were made to. you're spun around to face him and he nearly loses it, wide-eyed as he watches you watch him. sure, he's seen you a dozen and a half times by now, but not this close, never this close.

the grip you have on his shoulder tightens, but he doesn't think you realize it, and the way you're cataloging him, learning him; how bad are his burns today? some days they're more swollen than others. some days they are still too fresh and his skin is peeling a little bit. some days he hasn't fully burned through and he's left with these ugly fucking scabs and—

"hello," you say quietly, smile growing, eyes soft. "there you are."

and he lets go at once, because now that this is in front of him, he realizes how much he doesn't want it. can't have it anyway, not in this life.

todoroki touya would've been your soulmate, sure. you, with your money and your social status and prominent family name. universe got that part right when you were made, when your future was being planned.

you seem unbothered by him, though, steadying yourself as your breath hitches. "didn't think you existed out there."

"i don't," he grunts, stretching out his hands to feel the pull of his skin. it hurts and it grounds him, keeps him from stopping his retreat.

too bad touya died a long time ago.

dedication: to my first love.

              Snow has been falling for days now, piling into a thick layer of what looked like shaved ice on almost everything. It was a special evening today; your squad, the Q squad was preparing to celebrate Christmas. You and Yoongi had invited the others; Taehyung, Jungkook, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin – your and Yoongi's soulmates, - Rosé, Mingyu, Minghao and Sunoo.

              You sat comfortably and warmly in the company of the fireplace and your members, Jisoo, and Lisa, as the three of you decorated the Christmas tree. The pine tree that stood mightily in front of you was a real deal, all thanks to Namjoon.

              When you told him you have always celebrated with the artificial one with your loyal friend, Somi, during your days in the Jeon Quarter, he immediately told you he would buy the real one just for you. He had done the same thing for Jungkook back then because unlike you, Jungkook couldn't even celebrate the festive season during his childhood.

              You could've disagreed and told him to get the artificial one, but all your soulmates agreed with Namjoon before you could even voice your opinion and defeatedly accepted his decision. You couldn't stop him from doing things his way – The strong-headed Kim Namjoon.

              The crackling fire sound was soothing to your ears. The warmth of the fire was very inviting for you to jump to the couch and wrap yourself with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate providing extra warmth in your palm.

              Curling into a ball, basking in the heavenly warmth on this cold day; you could always do that any other time. As you and your friends decorated the tree in meaningful silence, the doorbell rang, disrupting the silence.

              "Can someone go get the door?" Jin yelled out the request from the kitchen.

              Jisoo immediately got on her feet as she volunteered with a cheery smile, "On it!" But her smile was quick to fade once she reached the door and opened it as she mumbled in a boring tone. "Oh, it's you…"

              Greeting with an equally boring tone, "Save the disappointment for another day, 'lil sis," Taehyung rolled his eyes. "I'm here for my lovers anyways."

              "Who's at the door, Soo-ya?" You asked, making your way towards the door. Once you've seen the invited guest, you beamed, "Oh–! Hi, V."

              "Hi, hime," he opened his arms as an invitation for you to slot in and you did. He smooched the crown of your head lovingly as the lovely nickname spilt from his lips warmed your cheeks.

              "Come in," you broke the hug and ushered him to step in. "Jin's in the kitchen preparing food for tonight, and Yoongi's in his room."

              "(Y/N)!" Jin called for you. "Can you help me here?"

              "Be there in a second!" You responded and turned back to your soulmate with a welcoming smile, you told him, "Make yourself at home, Tae."

              Once you were completely out of their vision, the silence was loud, "Don't get too comfortable," Jisoo narrowed her eyes at her brother.

              "Stop being so hostile," he sighed deeply. "It's Christmas, for God's sake."

              "Hostility is subjective," she retorted.

              "It will be objective today or I'll have your half-human flesh as dinner tonight."

              "Obscene!" She gasped out loud as her hand reached out to slap Taehyung's shoulder, offended.

              "Jisoo, the Christmas tree isn't going to decorate itself!" Lisa shouted from the living room.

              "Of course it won't, Lisa!" She huffed but obliged either way as she turned towards to living room, continuing decorating the Christmas tree.

              The kitchen was filled with the heavenly and divine smell of delicious meals being cooked. Jin multitasked his way through the kitchen since the afternoon. Yoongi has been helping him but he retreated to his room after some time now.

              "Hey, kareshi," your arms snaked around his waist as you hugged him from the back, chin resting on his shoulder as you asked, "What do you need help with?"

              "Hello, kanojo," his thumb brushed across the skin of your hand that was wrapped around his waist lovingly and softly. "Who was that?"

              "It's Taehyung," you told him.

              "He's early," he mused to himself. He turned around to face you as he rested his arms on your shoulders, lazily slinging them around you. "Can you help me with the chicken?"

              "Of course," you smiled.

              Jin lowered his face, killing the distance between your face and his as he placed a quick kiss on your lips. It was a short moment of two lips having contacted but the heat still flared up to your cheeks and your stomach filled with butterflies.

              "It won't be long; you can check on Yoongi in his room after you're done."

You stifled a giggle with a frown, "I didn't even tell you I was going to check on him."

"Soulmate instinct," he winked at you and stole yet another kiss from you. This time he remained a bit longer. No tongues were involved as it was purely lips-to-lips interaction but were enough to be a very meaningful kiss.

              A frown on his temple, fingers cupping his chin as Jungkook pondered. He and Namjoon were on their way to Yoongi's squad apartment but decided to stop by the 5th ward mall because Jungkook decided to buy a present for you. He knew you had told all of them to not buy you anything, but he was never the one to listen, so here he was. 

"What should I give (Y/N) for Christmas?" Jungkook asked his companion as they walked into the mall. The mall was decorated with Christmas lights, trees, and all other related decorations. The branded stores also decorated up to the session and released brand new items to fit into the festive session.

              "A lingerie?" Namjoon suggested mindlessly.

              "What the fuck, hyung." Again, a deep frown found its place on Jungkook's forehead at his soulmate's idea.

              "It's a suggestion." He shrugged.

              "Well, what do I buy her lingerie for?" The younger cast cursory glances at the stores. Feet had their own mind as Jungkook walked to wherever his feet took him, and Namjoon followed suit.

              Having a late realisation, Jungkook's eyes widened, "Are you hinting I should fuck her tonight? At Yoongi's apartment?"

              Namjoon gave his soulmate a side glance, "Not a bad idea?" then he shrugged, "I would prefer calling it love making though, since it's Christmas."

              Jungkook let silence be the language between them as they continued to stroll around the mall until there was nothing to be explored but as if the brain had relied on the conversation they just shared, their feet stopped in front of a lingerie store.

              "Maybe it's not a bad idea after all."

              "Told you." And Namjoon walked into the store with Jungkook trailing behind.

              "Jimin put that down."

              Hoseok's deep voice burst Jimin's little bubble of fantasy as he glared at the younger. "What? Hyung, no," he flashed his soulmate the white fluffy tail butt plug and a pair of white fur cat ears. "This is cute!"

              The other only gave him a dirty look, "You're just kinky."

              Jimin had heard that almost every time, he was shameless and immune to it. 'Kinky' has probably become a compliment for him now. He would be more than proud if someone called him so.

              "You would like it if it's on (Y/N)," you would definitely look cute in this, no doubt.

              The tail-like butt plug inserted in your arsehole, leaving your pussy dripping with wetness, and the cute cat ears to match the tail. You'd look so pliant and submissive, and with that costume, it would give an extra hardness, extra adrenaline rush, blood rush down to their cocks–

              "Or unless you'd like it on you?"

              Flabbergasted, heat rushed to Hoseok's face both from embarrassment (for thinking about you in a public setting and popping a boner) and humiliation (from Jimin's sexual innuendo), "Hah – whatthefuck, shut up Jimin!"

              "That's what I thought," he has a smug grin tugging on his lips.

              "Thank you for purchasing!"

              What.

              "Jimin!" No way he actually bought it.

              Well, you'd look cute either way.

              Yoongi wasn't in his room.

              And when that happened, he could only be in one place. You stood in front of the door – the door to the space where he found solace at any time given.

              You have been in there with him occasionally. The two of you would sit in silence, content with just the presence of each other as the bright stars in the dark sky became the only source of entertainment most of the time you and him were in the room.

              On rare occasions, Yoongi would sit on the brown piano, you next to him and play you a piece that never told you the name of it even when you had asked about it. He would brush the question away with a kiss on your temple and the same word "Untitled".

              And right before you, the sound of the 'Untitled' piece was playing. Your hand reached to knock on the door, "Yoongi?"

              "Kitten," his voice was mellow as he answered you. "Come in."

              Stepping in, you took in your surroundings. It was the same as when you last saw it. There wasn't much to keep a tab on the room except for the brown piano that settled on one side of the corner, the only furniture in this spacious room of nostalgia – as Yoongi would call it.  "What are you doing here alone?"

              "I'm not alone," he told you. He was sitting on the piano stool as his fingers rested in between the keys. "I'm with my first love." He looked at the piano fondly before he brought his gaze to you with equal, or if could, greater fondness.

              "First love?" You asked as you approached him. The room was dark with no source of light except for the sun outside. The sun was slipping, creating a glorious conflagration that blazed fiery colours. They appeared silky, smooth combinations of red, yellow, and blue in the sky that illuminated the room, colouring it like the sky.

              "The piano," his hand reached out to take yours in his, guiding you towards the seat next to him. "The first thing I learn to love."

              Placing your fingers delicately on the piano keys, you pressed the keys of Yoongi's favourite piece, the one he named 'Untitled'. You didn't play it until the end although you did remember the whole piece just from listening to him playing it. Reaching the last note of the piece, your fingers retreated from the keys. "Do you want to tell me about your first love story?"

              Your voice has always been so soft, delicate, and mellow. Who was Yoongi to reject your request? Maybe it was the time you knew the meaning behind the piece you had just played that you learned by heart from him. Chuckling, his fingers started to move around the keys as he silently answered your request.

              "From the corner of my memory, in the corner of my childhood house," fingers leisurely hit the keys. "A piano was there."

              "Hmm?" Your fingers joined his on the keys, as you played to harmonise with him. "What colour was it?"

              "Brown," he breathed out. "A brown piano settled on one side."

              He continued, "I remember that moment, where I was barely any taller than the brown piano. I looked up to it, because of my height but also because I was in awe. I yearned for it the moment I had touched it my little fingers."

              "It felt nice, I told my mom." His fingers pressed on the last notes before changing to another key. "I was content. Just from looking at it. It felt so nice that I played, however, my fingers wanted and even then, I still didn't know its significance."

              "It's nice that you know your first love even as a child."

              "What's your first love, kitten?" He asked, fingers still on the keys.

              Yours too, on the white jade-like keys, as you answered him, eyes closed. "Us."

              You continued, "I didn't understand the concept of first love back then, but my parents could easily be my first love, but I know I love them from the moment I was brought to this world. I didn't learn to love them because by default, I have already loved them. They were my unconditional love."

              Your fingers paused mid-air, "First love," resumed, "It can be interpreted in many ways,"

              The first time you learn how to truly love,

              The first time you love,

              The first time you felt truly loved,

              The first time you are loved,

              The first time experiencing the true definition of love.

              "But it will always have the same impact; unforgettable and irreplaceable."

              "True," Yoongi agreed softly, the soulful melody still filling the room.

              The mellow sound that came from the graceful movements of Yoongi's fingers on the piano continued to become honey to your ears. Your fingers were now placed on your lap as you let your lover play the black and whites on his own.

              You turned to look at him, to take in his beautiful side profile. His skin was glowing. His eyes were closed as he focused on letting his digits work their wonders on the eighty-eight.

              He looked stunning.

              Sometimes, less was more, and you didn't need to elaborate more on Yoongi's majestic presence.

              Ethereal.

              "First love isn't always sunshine and rainbows," he told you once he finally opened his eyes, his fingers had stopped, leaving the last note he had pressed echoing around the room. "Back then during my elementary school days, I remember, I was finally taller than the piano."

              "But dust was piling on top of the white jade-like keys. I neglected it when I yearned for it so much. I still failed to see its significance," his fingers were like a feather as he ghosted his fingertips on the keys.

              Melancholy as he continued, "Until a day came that marked the last day of the piano."

              "Don't feel sorry for not recognising the significance or recognising it late," you told him.

              Your fingers raised in the air and were softly placed on the right keys as you pressed. Fingers had their own mind as they danced on the black and whites, continuing where he had left. "Don't worry even if I leave. You will do well on your own. Though it is an end to our relationship, greet me happily when we meet again, no matter in what form."

              Yoongi looked at you with acute nostalgia. One hand of yours left the bar of whites and blacks as you reached for his hand, "Let's give a proper greeting to your first love."

The brown piano that stood mightily in front of you was the exact brand of piano Yoongi had back then. It might not be the original form of his first love, but in whatever form a piano could be, it will still be the first love of Yoongi.

              "Let's finish this piece together."

              Even though I was gone for a long time,

              Without repulsion,

              You accepted me.

              His fingers picked up where they had left as he confessed, "You may not be my first love, but you and the others will always be my eternal love. The people I loved, love and will love for eternity."

              Even when I pushed you away,

              Even when I resented meeting you,

              You were firmly by my side.

              "I wish to love you the way of my first love, I want to love you every day."

              So don't ever let go of my hand.

              I won't let you go ever again either.

              "If there comes a day where we have to end everything the eight of us share, I wish to continue loving you, every day until my days end."

              The two of you hit the last keys, and as if feathers, fingers were lifted slowly and smoothly from the keys. The piece came to an end. It came to a meaningful end. An end that filled with so many emotions. Conflicted at first but harmonised in the end.

              "I love you, (Y/N)."

              "I love you too, with all of me."

              The sun slipped completely away from the horizon as the light on the sky was then replaced with clouds of dust of bright, shining stars;

              A kiss sealed the vow.

–

              The food was almost done by the time you entered the kitchen with Yoongi. Jin was preparing the plates and utensils along with the dishes to be put on the table with the help of his younger sister and Lisa. You and Yoongi joined them to help but Jin shook his head and said that everything was almost done and asked the two of you to accompany Taehyung into the living room.

              When your feet strode towards the living room, the doorbell suddenly rang again, making you halt in your steps along with Yoongi as you looked at him, "I think that's the remaining guests," you motioned him to sit with Taehyung as you walked towards the door. "Let me get the door."

              Once you twisted the doorknob to open, you were greeted with two figures, both having muscular build and cute faces, carrying almost the same aura had you not known these guys like the back of your hand.

              Namjoon was the first to greet you as he pulled you into a hug, "Merry Christmas, princess," he kissed your cheeks before going for your lips. You savoured the feeling of his plush lips on yours.

              He pulled back and said, "Apologies for our delay."

              Jungkook was quick to lock you into a tight hug and cradle your head in his arms. You returned his hug with equal enthusiasm before replying to Namjoon, "No, don't worry. You guys are not late at all," you broke the hug, much to Jungkook's displeasure as he whined at the loss of warm contact.

              "Plus, Jinnie just finished cooking," you added.

              The sound of a car's nearing the neighbourhood made Jungkook whip his head towards that direction. Recognising the car and the wild skill of driving (no value for both life and the car; Jimin), he said, "I think that's Jimin and Hoseok."

              The three of you watched as Jimin safely and perfectly parallel-parked his car next to Taehyung's. Hoseok got out of the car and appeared to be nagging about something as his mouth danced at a fast pace with a frown etched on his forehead.

              Probably nagging at Jimin, again, for his reckless driving.

              When Hoseok neared the entrance where you, Namjoon, and Jungkook stood, his eyes shone with bright felicity as he waved enthusiastically in your direction. His lips could practically be seen as a lovely heart shape with perfectly aligned teeth to complement his charming look.

              "My lady," He reached for your hand to kiss your knuckles. "Hello, lovely ladybug."

              "Hello, Hobi," you gave his cheek a quick peck before he moved on to greet his other soulmates with the same gesture.

              "Doll," Jimin was like a wind as one second, he was right behind Hoseok and the next second, he was already in front of you while his arms snaked around your waist, locking them to leave no room for space between you and him. His nose caressed yours before his pillowy lips lowered down to seal a kiss with your lips.

              Pulling away at a small distance, breath mingled with his as you wished him, "Merry Christmas, prince charming," and he took your lips on his again. Your arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.

              After some moment, you pulled away – because you knew he wouldn't – to let him greet his other soulmates. Just like Hoseok, Jimin was a fair and equal person as he kissed the others as well. When you thought no one else was coming, a female figure was approaching, and it was a figure you knew so well.

              "Rosie, my favourite flower!" You ran towards her with a gleeful smile. Arms opened as an invitation for her to intertwine and exchange body heat with you.

              Finally reaching you, she wrapped you with her winter coat, "(Y/N), my favourite person!"

              "You walked here?"

              She nodded, "The distance between R squad house and Q's is not that far, you know that!"

              Giggling, you broke the hug and walked her towards the door where all your soulmates have been watching your interaction with Jimin's younger sister. Once you reached them, Jimin snatched– pulled you to his side – to which Rosie rolled her eyes at her brother's unspoken possessive act.

              "Ahem," a voice interrupted.

              "Gyu!" A gasp escaped your throat once your eyes landed on the newcomer – or newcomers, plural because he wasn't alone. "I thought you wouldn't come."

              Another figure approached your crowd, and you couldn't help but smile once you saw who it was. It has been so long since you've seen them because Gyu's squad was assigned to a mission in China. Minghao reached out to you for a greeting hug as jested on his soulmate, "He? Wouldn't come? He was literally so excited when you sent us the invitation."

              "Of course, I would come, lotus," Mingyu rolled his eyes at him and come to join your hug with Minghao. "I'm your life-time partner."

              "We are partners," Minghao italicised. He then directed his full attention on you as he nuzzled his face in your neck. "I miss you, dainty lotus." Although the hug didn't last long because you were pulled away by none other than Jimin. Minghao was bewildered at the sudden loss of warmth, but Rosie patted his shoulder with a shake of her head, "Don't mind it."

              Another voice entered the scene with sassiness, "Are you guys done yet?"

              Sunoo walked to the door of the house. He had arrived shortly after Taehyung and helped Jin in the kitchen. He crossed his arms as he said, "Close the door because it's so freaking cold outside."

              "Jeez, Sunoo," Minghao slung his arms around the younger's shoulders. "Cut that sassiness, it's Christmas!"

              Rosé jumped on the duo cheerfully, "Right? Chill a bit," she said with a light tone.

              "I am chill," he slapped Minghao's chest playfully. "Just close the door and get it you guys. It's freezing outside."

              You chuckled before urging them to get warm inside. Jimin was still by your side as all of them walked towards the living room until he saw Taehyung on the couch. All your soulmates that have just newly come immediately greeted him. Jimin hogged him and smothered him with kisses on the face and one deep kiss on the lips. You watched the duo fondly. The eight of you might have shared a deep bond but maybe Jimin and Taehyung shared an even deeper bond with each other, and you admired it.

              You saw Yoongi already making his way towards you and with expectant arms, you welcomed him into your embrace as he slotted in perfectly by your side. It brought back old memories where you had always thought Yoongi was a person that hates physical touch, though it was true to an extent because he was only touchy with his soulmates and especially with you but loathed having skin contact even the slightest with other than listed.

              "Merry Christmas, guys," Jin walked into the living space as he greeted them one by one including your friends. The apron that he has been stuck with has finally been removed from his body and his clothes have changed. "Let's eat before the food gets cold."

              You let yourself be situated in between Namjoon and Hoseok at the dining table and enjoyed the food Jin had cooked with so much love – helped by your members and Sunoo as well – The room was filled with chatter and laughter as the food goes down into everyone's stomach. They went from KCCG matters, as you asked Mingyu and Minghao about their mission in China – you knew they wouldn't have a difficult time in China given that Minghao knew the way around the country – to some random topic to not let an awkward silence fill in the room.

              Before Christmas, all of them including you had made an astounding achievement that you would like to consider this Christmas celebration as a celebration not just for the festive season but also for them. Rosé and Tae's squads joined hands in the 2nd Wipe Out Operation conducted by Namjoon, S2 Squad; you, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin and Yoongi, was successful during the Owl Suppression Operation that was led by Hoseok, and the latest; Mingyu and Minghao's mission in China.

              It has been a tough, hectic weeks, but everything was successful and everyone was safe as they returned in one piece. You were glad your soulmates were willing to celebrate Christmas along with your friends – especially Mingyu and Minghao. You knew your soulmates would very much want to celebrate this festive season with the company of eight, and that was why you were glad they had agreed to celebrate it together.

              Also given that it was the first Christmas you got to celebrate with your soulmates.

              The first Christmas where you get to celebrate with your loved ones, your first love.

              The first Christmas you get to create lots of memorable memories with your loved ones.

              It was the very first true Christmas you celebrated after your parents' death.

[lyranova]

Hi, it’s clover anon. For the ask game can you answer 3, 6, 9, 16, 32, 43, 47, 50. If it is too much just answer 3.

Hiya Clover anon! This isn’t too much, no worries 🥰!!

3 Have you ever written a soulmate AU? If you haven't, why would/wouldn't you write one?

Nope, I’ve never written a Soulmate AU 😅! And tbh…I haven’t really wanted/actually thought about writing one because I know so many other writers and mutuals who’ve written them and in so many different ways…I think that’s the only way I would ever write one, was if I could come up with a different or unique way to write it 🤔. But right now…I’ve got nothing and no real inspiration to write a Soulmate AU 😅. But maybe someday!

6 Have you ever started to write a relationship and had it develop differently than you expected? How so?

Hmm…romantic relationships? Not really. Platonic ones? A bit 😆! I think, all the platonic friendships my friends OC’s and my OC’s have together developed a bit differently then I (or we) imagined; I mean, we all knew they would be friends, but I didn’t think they would all be so close, and I love it so much 🥹💕! I couldn’t imagine any of them and their relationships any other way!!

9 When you write, do you plan out the stages of a relationship, or just let it flow? Do you have any works where the characters seem to "write themselves"?

Hm, depends! Most times I have the relationship stages planned, but there are times and moments where I let the relationship flow and take its own course! I have a few works where the characters write themselves, and right now it’s my AU’s 😆!

16 Are there any relationship dynamics/tropes you enjoy reading about, but wouldn't want to write yourself? Vice versa?

Hmm…I think enemies to lovers is one of the few tropes I write about but don’t read 🤔. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just I haven’t found many that appeal to me 😅. As far as ones I enjoy reading about but wouldn’t write, hmm…I guess Isekai fics/stories? I’ve read quite a few, but have never really written one myself (nor have I really wanted to)

32 Do you find it more fun to write soft, domestic romances, or dramatic thrillers?

Honestly? Depends on the day and what mood I’m in. I love writing soft, domestic romances, but sometimes I love a dramatic thriller! Right now, most of my AU’s are a combination of both because I really like them (especially the Butler AU 😉)!

43 How do you feel about unhappy endings? Unrequited love? Major character death?

Oof…i love to hate and hate to love all of these 😆! I have done all three at one point or another (Unrequited love with my OC Phoebe and @thoughtfullyrainynightmare ‘s OC Leon, Unhappy ending/Major Character Death with Dandelion Wishes and Children of the Future). So I enjoy them, but not all the time XD!

47 What's the most self-indulgent relationship you've written? Are there any particular moments/scenes that you wrote just for you?

*points to YuNeva and Zerilliam* Those are the most self indulgent relationships I’ve written 😆! I know a lot of people don’t like them, and that’s okay, and frankly I don’t care because I do and sometimes…I want to be a little selfish and write something for me that I hope others also enjoy!

Honestly if you read any fic/story involving them you’ll find many moments and scenes that I wrote just for me 😆!

50 Free space! Brag on yourself! Advertise your writing! What are you most proud of recently?

Umm…again, I haven’t really been writing very much the last few days/weeks…but I guess I’ll share another snippet from my Butler AU 😅.

He remembered the time the song began to play, and she began to gently move and sway in front of him as they walked to the Black Bird Café together. He remembered how she reminded him of a branch that gently swayed in the wind, how the gentle breeze rushed over her and gently tousled her loose braid, and the gentle smell of lilacs and vanilla from her perfume filled his senses.

The smell of lilacs that has once nauseated him, now made him smile and caused his heart to flutter.

[finalfrontierpublishing]

Hello! I hope your day/night is going well! I just wanted to ask if you had a list of links of all the 00Q fics you've made into a book? Specifically, the latest one with All In Green? (I looked for it on AO3 and saw it's only 15k+ words, so I wasn't sure if I was missing the rest of it or if there are other works included?) It's just I read Oh Mercy, I Implore because I saw your book version and it was seriously one of the best fics I've read so I'm super keen to see what else you have on your rec list for my hungry 00Q heart 🥹

FIC REC TIME!

Oh boy - thank you so much for your ask! It kind of made me look through my entire list of favourite 00q fics - let me start first by sharing some of the authors I love. it's obviously not an exhaustive list - but i hope it helps you some:

some great writers that i am huge fans of:

dhampir72 @dhampir72 skylights @frijae blackidyll @blackidyll winterhill magneticwave cicer @cicerfics thestalwartheart @thestalwartheart girlbookwrm @girlbookwrm dr_girlfriend @drgrlfriend by_oaks_and_roses @byoaksandroses sleeponrooftops @sleeponrooftops

will strongly recommend everything on these authors' backlists!

other than what i've publicly mentioned i've bound, here are some of my favourites which include:

this city, oh how it sings - skylights

Q allows himself the indulgence of a smile and the next taxi that idles up to them, he flags down. “Peak Road,” he tells the driver. To Bond, “Get in.” This is Hong Kong, and they’re here to kill a man.

this fic is so atmospheric to me as a member of the Asian diaspora and i love it so much.

2. Requiem for the Deathless - nagapdragon

It's MI6's best kept secret, the reason why the Double-0s never seem to die. An enchanted pot of ink that ties one person's life to another, keeping one safe so long as the other survives. One person to protect, the most trusted person in a Double-0's life, and they cannot die. James Bond doesn't know who his is, and he doesn't want to know.

this fic feels like a cool take on a soulmate AU but not quite - it's such a unique and interesting concept and the characterisation is perfect!

3. the places you leave in the dust - thestalwartheart

SPECTRE fix-it where Q deals with the professional and personal consequences of Bond leaving. Continues on to explore the impact of Bond's actions on their relationship.

this series is still ongoing but it really hits a chord in my heart. everything about this fic feels so real, and it made me think about what the true consequences of Bond leaving would be, compared to the usual handwave-y 'it's all fine' most movies adopt. I loved this so much, and I strongly recommend everything on thestalwartheart's backlist!

4. the warmth of your doorways - cicer

James stared gloomily at his papers. "I suppose you could marry me,” Q added, “if you're that desperate to do away with the forms. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to fill them all out." His voice was rich with amusement. Clearly Q thought this was quite a joke. But James paused. He tilted his head. Then he set his pen down. Q tapped away at his keyboard for a bit, then looked up. He promptly blanched. "Oh, good lord. You're not serious, are you?" "It would be convenient." (In which James Bond is a middle-aged spy with a highly adventurous career and promiscuous lifestyle…who kind of wants to settle down, get married, and enjoy a stupidly domestic lifestyle in between missions. Now what?)

As an ace-spectrum person - I absolutely love all of their fics. Connection to me is so important and the slow build and burn of it - ack, it gets to me. This series is also on-going and i'm excitedly waiting for its completion.

Hope this list helps and happy reading!

[fleurdemonio]

SHIP DYNAMICS FOR MY MUSES

Fill out the ship sheet for each of your muses (or your primaries).

MUSE: NICO ROBIN

Attracted To: A good sense of humor; intelligence; strong convictions; curiosity; Weirdos™️; ambition; dreamers; hopeless romantics

Favorite Ship: Wanihana (Robin x Crocodile). It’s so far beyond complicated and that’s what intrigues me. He’s been her mentor, her boss, her captor, her companion, her confidant. He taught her not just how to survive, but how to thrive. They bring out the shadow and light in each other.

Honorary Mention(s): Robin x Nami (do i need to explain??); Robin x Law (nerd love 💕)

Least Favorite: Robin x Luffy. That’s her little brother. He’s just a little guy.

Guilty Pleasure: Robin x Sabo. I just know they were cooking during the timeskip. Bonding over the trauma of growing up lonely, finding their places in the world. I think Robin is a Revolutionary at heart and would absolutely be part of the Army if she wasn’t a Straw Hat.

Platonic Soulmates: Robin x Franky. They just get each other, I don’t know. They’re flirty and fun and they’re weirdly on the same wavelength. I don’t ship them romantically, but

Would Like to Explore: Robin x Koala (revolutionary girlies); Robin x Zoro (flirtatious nerdy girl x grumpy jock); Robin x Sanji (he makes her laugh 🥹) ; Robin x Perona (goth girls club); Robin x Katakuri (I think she’d think his mouth is cute and she would feed him donuts all fkn day okay); Robin x Brook? (weirdo x weirdo)

(More muses below the cut!)

MUSE: BOA HANCOCK (@hebikokoro)

Attracted To: Intelligence; resilience; romanticism; ambition; strength; humility; wit; powerful people who let her keep them on a leash (it’s giving Integra x Alucard)

Favorite Ship: Hancock x women?? Any women?? All women?? WOMEN

Honorary Mention(s): Hancock x Shanks. I just think he would be very reasonable with her and would treat her like a proper lady without inflating her ego. Like he would humble her a little bit, humanize her in a way that she would actually like because it would actually build her character. He would teach her to like puppies, I just know it.

Least Favorite: Hancock x Luffy. I think it works better if she’s like, his sworn protector because she admires his spirit and his resolve rather than being obsessed with him because he just doesn’t like her back. I think that’s a little cheap and their relationship deserves nuance and depth.

Guilty Pleasure: Hancock x Mihawk. LISTEN HE HAS THAT BIG ROMANTIC GOTHIC CASTLE ALL TO HIMSELF AND THEY BOTH DEFINITELY THINK THEY’RE BETTER THAN THE OTHER AND THEIR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP IS A COMPETITION but at the end of the day she still falls asleep against his chest with that snake curled up at the end of the bed, okay

Platonic Soulmates: Hancock x Perona. Do we not love spoiled princesses who know what they deserve??

Would Like to Explore: Hancock x Crocodile (I simply think he’d hate her and she’d tease him constantly and sit on his lap and have fancy dinners and commit atrocities with him); Hancock x Smoker (I saw what she did to him at Marineford and there’s no way he ain’t gaga for her); Hancock x Doflamingo (evil fashionista bitches)

MUSE: YAMATO (coming soon?)

Attracted To: Strength; ambition; dedication; strong morals; recklessness; wild cards; adventurous spirits; heroes who refuse to let you call them heroes

Favorite Ship: Yamato x Ace. Maybe my favorite ship in the whole series. I will cry just thinking about it.

Honorary Mention(s): N/A.

Least Favorite: Yamato x Sanji. Sanji will probably never respect that Yamato is trans masc. But if he did, I think they could be kind of cute? Like it would be a really big character development for Sanji to FINALLY understand that gender is far more nuanced than Boy = Blue and Girl = Pink. As it stands now, however, Yamato deserves someone who doesn’t fetishize him.

Guilty Pleasure: Yamato x Sabo. I swear I’m not just shipping everyone with Sabo just ‘cause. I really think they’d get along so well and swap stories about Ace and find a lot of common ground. Growing up noble with all this pressure to fulfill someone else’s dream that you know just isn’t you, fighting the good fight despite all the obstacles hammering down on you, the desire to be truly free.

Platonic Soulmates: Yamato and Hiyori, but in my headcanon where Yamato swears to protect the Kozuki children on behalf of their father to honor his spirit, not because he insists that he IS their father. That was just weird and I think the story works better if Yamato is embodying Oden’s spirit, taking up the title as more of a moniker than assuming his literal identity.

Would Like to Explore: Yamato x Koala (I just think he’d find her so endearing); Yamato x Zoro (fight fight fight); Yamato x Katakuri (idk they just give me good vibes); Yamato x Law; Yamato x Kid?; Yamato x anyone who would fight him tbh

MUSE: HINA (@kuroori)

Attracted To: Power; strength; determination; conviction; strategic minds; men she can step on

Favorite Ship: Hina x Smoker. Come on, now.

Honorary Mention(s): Hina x Kaku; Hina x Kalifa

Least Favorite: Hina x Akainu. No one ships this but I just have to take the chance to say I hate him.

Guilty Pleasure: Hina x Miss Double Finger. Idk I just think it’s neat. :))

Platonic Soulmates: Hina has no friends. :))

Would Like to Explore: Hina hates everyone so I’m not really sure.

[jazzythursday]

For the SOC asks... any four questions you haven't answered yet that you wanna talk about! Have a good flight 💕

Aw ty friend! 🥹💖💕

5. Any character you didn't expect to like as much as you did? Similarly, is there any character that didn't end up liking as much as you thought you would?

I didn’t expect to like Matthias nearly as much. I think because I didn’t expect him to be as funny or thoughtful as he is. He’s not the type of character I would usually get attached to at all but after reading the books I got it. His death especially hit me so much harder than I expected. His character arc is so interesting it’s handled so well. And I never expected to get so invested in Helnik either but I was so wrong. Just—boy loves Nina so much. So in love. Soulmates. Doomed star crossed lovers. Gah 🥺🤧

31. What moments made you freak out (in a happy or sad way) the most?

-I still get chills just thinking about “let me tell you about my son” and Van Eck’s whole speech at the end of soc about Wylan.

-literally everything with the Khergud. The sheer terror I felt reading those scenes is unparalleled. Especially when Jesper gets attacked during the auction.

-Inej getting caught by Van Eck coming out of the vents 😬🫣

-actually experiencing Wylan’s backstory for the first time. Omg. I was so spoiled on it but I genuinely don’t think anything could have prepared me. Also everything at Saint Hilde’s with his mother and Jesper.

-“He was Wylan Van Eck. He told them everything” —self explanatory. Crying screaming throwing up as I turned the pages.

-And for a happy one—the Wesper kiss!!!! I waited almost the whole duology to finally get to it and it did not disappoint! Pure actual poetry. 1000/10 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

39. What are a few of your favorite Wylan moments?

Oh gosh, all Wylan moments are my favorite Wylan moments! My annotated copies are basically tabbed every time he’s even mentioned. That said, here are the first ones that come to mind:

-the very first time we see him and he’s just doodling and chewing on his nails. Immediately I’m so charmed by it.

-when he has to pretend to be a waiter and can’t figure out what to do with his hands or how to speak (relatable content lol). His “don’t!” when Jesper bets his guns, how uncomfortable and worried he is for Nina having to flirt with Cornelius Smeet. I just love the entire chapter so much.

-“you can’t afford to buy her breakfast” and “Then you're going to be a lot harder to surprise” when they’re running through the library. All the sass. Sassy boy. We love to see it.

-after Jesper and Kuwei kiss and he’s upset and says something along the lines of “he’s not even good at science!!! Half of his note books are filled with doodles—most of which are of you—and those aren’t very good either!!!” Absolutely the funniest thing I’ve ever read. Peak jealous/sassy/petty Wylan. No notes.

-when he’s the first one to pick a tulip and lay it on Matthias as they’re all saying goodbye.

63. Link your favorite fic(s)!

HP Fanfiction Recs | One- Shot Edition; Part 1

Standard Rec Lists Disclaimers Apply: Please for the love of God read the tags and Author's Note/s, This is NOT the ultimate rec lists or whatever, the fics below are my cup of tea.

Also, I tried my best to make the Quotes I included spoiler free but if you think it is just tell me!

(also, I have more fic recs! Here)

🍄🍄🍄

1. r/AITA by Seagate

G | 2k Words | Hermione / Draco

Summary: A budding relationship seen through the eyes of Reddit posts

Hermione POV. Well, Reddit Post Style. Hermione's a good friend 🥹🥹🥹 Actually, most of her posts are about Harry, seeking advice on how could she make sure that he won't get hurt/make sure that he's in good hands. ALSO ALSO they keep interacting in the comments so READ THEIR USERNAMES IT'S FUNNIER IF U KNEW WHO IT IS. To this day whenever I remember Voldemort's comment I laugh. I love Hermione's characterization- she's loyal, and she takes no shit. I laugh a lot reading this because Hermione sounds so serious but it's funny. Also my favorite quote:

I don't buy it for a second. The kicked puppy look, the lost baby blue eyes, and pouty lips? I was there when he perfected it. When he used the fake remorse to get out of trouble with the professors. 

I slammed the door in his face. I'd rather get murdered, thanks.

2. Do Not Collect 200 Dollars by KittySmith

T | 11k Words

Summary: It isn't Voldemort who is reverted to baby form from the Final Super Spell - but why is Harry still alive?

Is Voldemort... cooing?

Crack fic. Like, really crack. I reread this fic when I need a laugh. Voldemort's mind is a beautiful place it's so funny. I love how oblivious Voldemort is with Snape's kidnapping attempts LAUGHING CRYING SOBBING the interactions of these 3 are my favorite parts because of its peak comedy. Voldemort as the most bizarre doting parent ever. Oh, yeah, it's a Voldemort Wins AU. He's just taking care of Harry and researching. What an icon. ALSO MY FAVORITE QUOTE:

He examined the banana he had left consideringly, checking its heft before he threw it directly into Severus’ terrified face with a flat, “Bitch.”

3. Heartbreaking Confession by LiquidLuckandStuff (@liquidluckandstuff )

M | 1k Words | Harry / Tom|Voldemort

Summary: After the war, Harry visits Voldemort's grave after a bad day with a Mind Healer.

He confesses something he is too scared to tell even his closest friends.

Just Harry having a bad day and talking to Voldemort's grave. About Almosts, what ifs, what could've beens. This fic shows that Voldemort and Harry understood each other very much. The ways they've shown it while they're enemies, while one of them is dead. Also my favorite quote!!! It's longer than this, 3 paragraphs but i think that would be too spoiler-y so here it is!

Quietly, Harry whispered a terrible secret. “Sometimes, I want to crawl in there with you."

Summary: The first time Harry broke the taboo, he’d been beyond starving, with little to no choice. The second and third times were much the same.

But the fourth?

That’s when everything changed.

HOLY MOLY THIS FIC!!!! MAKES ME FERAL!!! It's so unique and I've reread it lots of times!!! Can't say more because spoilers but!!! If you've read this scream about it with me. Sadly I can't put my favorite quote here since I don't wanna ruin the surprise factor but!!! Just know I have a lot of them!!!

Summary: The first time you touch, a matching symbol is left behind where skin met skin.

ROLE REVERSAL AU!!! DARK LORD HARRY GRRRRRRRR. ALSO GRYFFINDOR TOM. Also Luna's part is brief here but she's a badass I love her. And!!! Harry giving tom gifts for courting. And they're soulmates! Favorite quote:

"Did you know that Gryffindor was my old house?” Harry ask conversationally, as if they’re not under the school, with a mirror hiding the Philosopher’s stone.

“It’s why I chose it over Slytherin.” Tom answers.
