"you're getting water everywhere!"

mingyu giggles like the cute pain in the ass he is, and the jerk of his head is enough to splatter more water around your bathroom. he's like a dog in the way he shakes out his hair, and you recoil back in slight disgust at how wet your shirt is getting. the two of you have washed bobpul before after she got into mud during a walk when you were visiting mingyu's family, but now you swear mingyu's worse.

"mingyu!" you huff. "you asked for this and now you can't be still--"

"no, no, i'll calm down," he promises, catching one of your hands in his own. he presses a kiss to your knuckles. "i was ticklish. i'll behave, i promise."

with a roll of your eyes, you reach over him to grab his shampoo, only for him to quickly knock it away. it lands in the tub, sending up water at the two of you, and he gives you a cheeky grin.

"not that one." he reaches for your bottle, holding it up with a little shake as if to show it off. "this one."

with a roll of your eyes, you pop it open. turning the bottle over to squeeze some of your shampoo into your palm, you let out the patient sigh of someone who knows mingyu this well. yet you still adore your partner, silly as he is. "you're buying me more, then."

"done." he looks up at you, eyes twinkling. "i love you."

"yeah, yeah, so you say," you roll your eyes. but then you catch how he pouts at you, and you lean over to peck his lips quickly. "i love you, too, dork."

Anyone got any fic recs of it?

[haoshipedia]

genuinely my reaction when they were bantering??? idk if that's a word but i don't careeee

ANYWAYS i had so much fun reading this it was so nice so fun so well written like im shocked u just started writing because it's so good??? i was alr so surprised when i saw you posted like NADIA WRITES ?? and then i read it and i was baffled like im v picky with fics and all that stuff but this fic was genuinely so good it shocked me - not that i didn't think that u could write like that but more because there was basically everything i want in a fic??

like in a lot of e2l/ar2l it's just too much angst & yn forgives the guy too easily but it didn't feel that way here like he was watching out for her the whole time and he realized when he went too far and he comforted and i just. combusted I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH U HAVE NO IDEA

Also, fuck jimin ? cuz like who the fuck does that even ?? im glad Mark directly told yn cuz SO MANY TIMES THEY DONT and for me that's like such a deal-breaker i would literally end it so im happy he did and was upfront about it ? honest ? my english vocab left me again i fear ....

to conclude (my english exam is still haunting me idk how to act normal now) 1) banger fic 2) banger writer 3) banger blog !! OK now kiss me and let's get married

‘you want me so bad’ - mk.l

academic rival!mark x f!reader,  

warnings: teasing , cursing, nsfw jokes, suggestive, bitchy best friend

synopsis : mark has been your life-long sworn enemy. from snickering when you scored lower than him to personally telling the teacher you had plagarised in your history essay, you couldn’t be blamed. you had every reason to dislike him, so why do you notice things such as the unique curve of his lips to the way his eyes crease when he laughs. why do you feel like vomiting your heart out at the sight of him? it’s because you’re sick right? right??   

word count: 5.8k   

note: dude this took me like 2/3 months to write because 1. im so lazy 2. school and 3. bc bro writing is so hard?? thank you soooo much to my best friend for helping me <3 anyways enjoy xx

The hum of the air con, the shutters moving in turn with the balmy summer breeze, the sound of fingers tapping on a screen pausing. Your brows furrowed as you scanned the screen displaying the updated rankings for your grade, panicking not seeing your name first but-

“Second place only Y/N? 98%,” a chuckle leaves the boy’s lips, “Get better.”

Mark.

You’ve always hated Mark, from the way he seems to effortlessly get top marks to the way everyone fawns over him. He was perfect, and that irritated you to the extremes. Wincing at the memory of him 4 years ago, laughing at your poor pronunciation in your french oral exam. You rub your eyes as an attempt to refocus.

He hasn’t changed one bit.

Keep reading

[allmyhomieshatelawns]

if y’all want fic recs for the Trolls fandom i’ve got so many. like i tend to skew more for the feral stuff but i’ve got variety, i promise lol.

now, idk most of the ppl’s handles here on tumblr since i’m assuming most of these ppl have tumblrs. if your story is on this list and you want me to link to your tumblr, please don’t hesitate to ask i will do so immediately.

also if y’all have fic recs, 👀👀👀 i’d love to see them. links are easiest for me to use, but if you’ve got the name of it and the website it’s on i can manage, probably lol

i’m not reading stuff that’s positive abt Creek tho. i just can’t, i hate him too much. y’all get on w yo bad selves if you do love that disaster gay, it’s just not for me.

recommendations are beneath the cut bc it started getting really long lmao

a “bergens are only in history books” fic— Complete

a what-if of if Clay got the letter about Floyd, instead of John Dory —Complete

the ever-famous “what if JD came back to raise Branch?” AU —Complete

probably my favorite atm? John Dory is Branch’s dad, and the OC that JD is shipped w… it’s so good y’all i can’t even. the first two parts of the series are complete, and the third part is updating regularly.

a “what if Branch AND Poppy were feral” AU this bitch updates like, every day??? idk how tf some of these authors keep up. it’s just about to get to the events of the second movie i think. y’all. it’s so. GOOD.

ok y’all, THIS FIC, GOOD angst. so far it’s a two part series, and the angst. oh man. John Dory has some ISSUES, and he is not dealing with it well. it’s so good. the first part of the series is complete, the second part is updating regularly.

this series is a mashup between The Eldest And The Youngest and Out The Train Wreck AUs. y’all. making me go all-in on the John Dory x Hickory train wtf. i think the first three parts are complete? or almost complete? idk

YALL THIS ONE GIVES ME SUCH LIFE AS AN AUTISTIC PERSON. basically Barb mistakes young grey Branch for a rock troll and accidentally kidnaps him. it’s SO GOOD. also i DO know the tumblr handle for this one! it’s @rocksibblingsau !!!! give them some love this fic is AWESOME. not complete yet, but oh man if you can read WIPs then definitely check this out!

[shadebloopnik]

I just finished crying so horribly for this fic its fucki g embarassing im still dead and wishing to murder the author with my own hands whilst simultaneously showering em with praise

But anyways, its a John Dory-centric fic. Not my favorite lil Troll, but i dont hate and the angst potential and overall dynamic is too good. Personally think its beautifully written, and has a bunch of heart wrenching moments that may or may not have led me to go crazy in the comments, but thats that.

THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, ISOLATION, RUNNING AWAY TROPE IS MY JAM OKAY

Anyways, tldr, this author and fic is awesome and im personally holding the 5 people who sees this post at knife point to shower em with love

Song of the Day:

Oh! You Pretty Things - David Bowie

(From the album Hunky Dory, released in 1971)

(This song is going to ruin my spotify wrapped)

This was the first song he wrote for the "Hunky Dory" album. The song came to him in the early hours of a morning in January 1971. He recalled: "I couldn't sleep … this song was going 'round in my head. I had to get out of bed and just play it … so that I could get back to sleep again."

The song contains a descending diatonic major progression that Bowie would use for fellow album track "Changes" and later "All the Young Dudes" (Another one of my favorites).

David Bowie – lead vocals, piano, handclaps Mick Ronson – backing vocals, string arrangements, handclaps Trevor Bolder – bass guitar Mick Woodmansey – drums Rick Wakeman – piano Unknown musician – cello

I'm going on a long trip. Can anyone recommend a long fic? Preferably bagginsheild, but other ships are welcomed.

*Also I just recently read Sanskuh*

[reversenecromancertrolls]

Fellow hickdory enjoyers I just found possibly the best fic ever

like fuck dude It's so well written I just akshakjaksjakskskahsja

[demonictumble]

fic rec list (2/??)

Wow folks, back again! I got motivated so here I am, making another list!!

PSA: As always, make sure to leave a comment on these fics (or really any fic) you choose to read. It doesn't have to be much, but please remember, fandom is a community. We should not mindlessly consume anymore. Don't take those authors and fics you love for granted, give them the praise they deserve.

Also Note: these are recs that I've read more than a year ago, so forgive me for being vague. There's a high possibility I don't remember much except main plot points (and maybe even not that). And I don't have enough time to reread them all (I wish I did).

Without further ado:

DC (mostly batman)

Reverse Robins: Joker Junior series by miyaji_08 (complete)

Tim Drake centered. Basically he's joker junior, shenanigans occur, especially in the second one.I LOVE THESE. I am not kidding when I say I have read these two fics multiple times over. The writing style is incredible. The batman family feels very unified, which is at odds of canon but I'm a sucker of family <33. And it is reverse robin, but such an interesting take. Tim isn't Red Hood (joker junior as it says in the title), but he does kill people I believe. Idk it's been a while. Anyways, If you find the concept of reverse robins interesting, this one is definitely a must-read!! The second one also features the core-fore mildly so there's that to look forward to.

when doves cry by Scarlet_Ribbons (complete)

This is a masterfully written one shot. It's gorgeous and painful in the best ways possible. Tim drake centric (wow seeing a theme here eh) with brother Jason Todd. This is a sort of drakes were neglectful type fic but that's not the main focus. I think it was more about Tim and Jason's relationship. This was BEAUTIFULLY written. The author is terrific at what they do and my eyes were blessed.

zugzwang by sardonic_sprite (complete)

I don't remember much of this one, but I can remember the association of angst I felt with it. It was a good read, but do be mindful of the tags for triggers or anything of the sort. It features Ra's and Tim, and it's just owiefaksdfkwkf. Now I gotta go reread it wow. Maybe this list is just a reread list for me lmao.

you are somebody's baby; some mother held you near by nosecoffee (complete)

oh man. This is a one shot btw. I just reread this because the title hit me in the gut and also to refresh my memory. And holy cow. This was omg. Neglectful Drakes and baby Tim. It was hurt/comfort. It's a really good read and I recommend it fs.

Testosterone cypionate, 50 mg by lesbianmaki (complete)

Oneshot! This is the first one shot I read with trans Tim and it was brilliant. I love the interactions in this fic and I'm glad it introduced me to this head canon! I think Jack Drake is an alright parent? very mediocre in this but not abusive I don't think from what I can recall. Great writing <3

Running Rings 'Round by justapoorboy (incomplete 2/4)

This is a crack-ish fic, but I enjoyed it immensely. It really spoke to my soul in critiquing the status of the healthcare system through its ability to favor the rich and really leave the poor to fend for themselves. Basically Tim and morally-grayness occurs through his entrance to the black market (?? Sort of??). I'm not describing it very well, you'll just have to read it and see ig.

Can't Stay Down (a documentary) by SonoSvegliato (complete)

Tim gets his tonsils out (wow he's down a lot of organs lmao). The amount of effort the author put in is clearly visible. I don't recall much other than good dad bruce and so much comfort. It was great!!

Statue of Limitations by Oka_Hills1232 (complete)

BILLY BATSON. Aren't you guys glad its something other than batman (I know I am, wow I had a phase). One shot of Billy revealing his age to the justice league and shenanigans occur. This is hilarious and I remember mentally giggling so much during it. It's so fun and if I ever have a bad day, I would want to end it off with this, just to make things better.

The Time Lost in Between by Magical_Devil_Alex (complete)

ANOTHER BILLY BATSON. Oh captain marvel, here to save us from the excess batman. Oh never mind, this is centered around batman and captain marvel. I vaguely remember this fic and Billy is trying so hard to outmaneuver the world's greatest detective and it is brilliant. It's a great concept and executed very well! Terrific!!!

Settle Our Bones series (Idk if it's complete but there are 8 works)

Okay I'll be honest I don't really remember anything about this and it's too long to reread. (wow am I secretly dory) Here's what I do remember tho: The characterization Is magnificent. Everyone has their flaws, especially because of past traumas/events and their actions make sense and I don't ever see them as irrational. It's a fix it of Jason never dies but Tim is still there for the ride. I believe there's bad parents Jack and Janet, but I'm not 100% sure. It's a great (and long) series so definitely read it if you can <3

Just A Kid by sardonic_sprite (incomplete 3/?)

Jason Todd and his goons and ig the bats added to the mix. That's it. It's hilarious and the humor is *chefs kiss*.

A Good Soldier by VioletVain (complete)

I was locked into the idea of social media AUs in the DC universe, and that's where this came in. It's one of the best social media AUs that I've seen from whatI can remember. It's great, IT basically talks about the debate of in-universe outsiders talking about child soldiers and just robin. Great take on internet discourse that would undoubtedly occur within the DC universe!

stay gold by airyfaerie (complete)

OH MY GOSH. I VIVIDLY RECALL THIS ONE SHOT. This was a gorgeous fic dedicated to Damian and Duke's relationship, especially as people of color. It talks about their different cultures and Damian's experience with his culture. This is especially important to me because the amount of times I have seen people white-wash characters within fandom spaces is insane. BUT THIS ONE. This one, you can tell the author has done their research or knows their stuff, because the feelings that Damian emits, I can feel. I feel seen with this fic. With complex undertones and how do you find your place in a world that is so different from your culture. It talks about food and. Im just, it's gorgeous and PLEASE READ IT AND COMMENT ON IT I BEG.

The other works in the series are terrific as well!! This is just the one that struck me right in the heart and I will forever yell about it.

robin's roast by envysparkler (complete)

This concept is so funny. Jason coming back just to be a coffee shop owner. I loved it!! It's a fic about Jason getting back to the family and STEPH!! Oh how I've missed her.

shut eye by audreycritter (complete)

oh wow. complex mother Janet, oh how I love complex female characters. The exploration of the mother/son relationship that Janet and Tim possess. This is beautiful and intricate and it touches my heart. Everyone's just trying and sometimes that's not enough and its just *sigh*. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous writing. But then again, anything by this author is beautiful. It's a sign for all of you to binge everything this author has written RIGHT NOW.

A children's story by TheResurrectionist (complete)

"4 batkids walk into a bank" great summary of it truly. It was a funny fic and please! I sound like a broken machine but do read this one too!! It's *mwah*.

A classic cold brew by Chimie_Chat (incomplete)

alternate universe!! This was my first damijon (Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent) fic that I've read and it is the reason I like the pairing. It's such a cute little coffee shop AU, where Jon is a barista bc poor guy just wants a car and Damian is a regular. It's great!! I'm so glad this was my introduction into the damijon ship.

Straight on Til Morning by Merils (complete)

OKay,, THIS IS THE KON EL AUTHOR AND THE KON FIC. This Is what got me to read earlier comics and really superman comics as a while. The author is spectacular and really knows what they are doing. I could rave on and on about this fic. Kon and his relationship with growing up and adult hood and what was his adolescence ( did he even really have one ).

There is timkon, but that is definitely not the full focus of this fic and do not focus on the bats when the supers have such a complex relationship with each other. KonEl is spectacular and this fic really shows his chracterization and his relationships with other characters like Clark and his father/brother/uncle who even knows type relationship with him, And then the core four too!!. PLEAE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS I BEG OF YOU ON MY KNEES AND UNDERSTAND HOW BEAUTIFUL TH ESUPERS ARE AND OMG

Cross-Over

The Tailor Universe by LittleInkling64 (main work is completed)

This is so cute!! Marinette and Jason Todd get paired up together. I think Jason thought Marinette was some trafficker but soon realizes she isn't and they help each other out (sort of). I don't remember much but I do recall it was great !!

okay that's enough for now. I did this one in one sitting too. Im gonna go to sleep.

MY TURN TO REC SOMETHING <3

Dereliction by jellfish - ao3, 137k words - M, Graphic Depictions of Violence (Incomplete)

JD Raises Branch AU

When John Dory receives word from his Grandma that Branch isn't doing so well, he feels obliged to go back. Just to check, just to make sure they were okay. He never expected this.

Basically, what if John Dory had no idea his other brothers had actually left? He returns to find Branch grey, malnourished and living alone outside the village, and he decides he has to step up and be the brother Branch needs him to be.

Featuring: a JD who is doing his best™, and a Branch who is 90% paranoia 10% guilt

mod note: I really love this fic!! It's written incredibly well and I'm 100% a sucker for JD content lol. WARNING, though: the violence tag IS important to this fic- certain scenes are tough and pretty heavy. read at your own discretion

[nicollekidman]

very complicated feelings about darklingverse but spuffy deserve something huge and expansive like that so they’re largely positive even if i have #qualms

Personal Computer - Doris Norton

Doris Norton's album Personal Computer is a fantastic electronic album from 1984 that appears to feature a lot of analog synthesizers. This album reminds me of Computer World by Kraftwerk a lot. My favorite song is Binary Love.
