DPXDC Prompt #148

Danny didn’t want to go to the gala but since all of his friends were busy with their own soulmates there wasn’t much he could argue. Vlad invited his family and him to a gala out in Gotham and his parents jumped at the opportunity to show their madness with some of the elite. Danny couldn’t wait to get home, yes he knew he had a soulmate but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to pursue them or not.

They could feel each other’s emotions and his soulmate was an angry person. Danny’s whole life his soulmate acted mad and strangely prideful. But those didn’t compare to his fear, they seemed to have gotten themselves in trouble in the past and maybe even had a few close encounters with death. They also seemed to bottle feelings up from what he could tell his soulmate might not have had the best childhood but Danny couldn’t really say much on that.

Damian knew his soulmate was kind of soft. They seemed to get annoyed at his family typical for a teen. Of all the things he noted about him his dislike of Christmas was a little odd but not everyone has to like the holidays he supposed. His mother Talia imparted on him that he should protect his soulmate with his life when he finds him so he was very determined to find them. Of course galas we’re the best place to look so he desperately asked every time his father hosted one.

silly thought i had. won't go anywhere. feel free to add to or steal:

Hannibal, despite his serial killing and overall cavalier attitude to to the living, had never spent much time thinking about the mind after death. The body? Of course. Only the finest of tableaus. The reputation? Forever put with own, as the Ripper. But the afterword, for the dead themselves, cut from their eulogy? He never bothered. Either there was or there wasn't an afterlife, and that was as far as he concerned himself.

Now, gone over the ledge with William and opening his eyes once more to bleary vision and a weak body, pampered by those around him, he found that he did not regret not considering buddhism further, but perhaps it might have helped.

They spoke a dialect of Japanese that Hannibal does not recognize. He listens, and learns, and wonders.

His name is Sasuke. He is in a rich family, perhaps noblility. He has an older brother, named Itachi.

The culture seems different, here. Hannibal does not know if he is born to a cult or a different timeperiod. He tries to bring himself to care, but he had always been so European in maner, except for dear Murasaki...

This new life is a song, and his songbird is gone. Hannibal should grow beyond his mongoose, and yet he cannot. What fun is there to be had in a place where killing is a profession, not a passion? Who will challenge him? When the snake is intruder to society, but the porch and the house are rotten through?

He likes his new family. He likes being the younger brother, especially because Itachi is away so often. He likes his mother, who runs the clan. He likes his father, who runs the police, and was a terrible parent. He would be upset, if something happened to them.

They do not put the teacup together.

He does not overly care for the Uchiha clan at large. They are there, and they are useful. Background. His mother senses the disconnect. She makes Itachi take on more duties as heir to the clan.

When it is time to start the Ninja Academy, because Hannibal does not care for others having physical power over him when he can level the field, Hannibal has made a decision. He will be patient, as he was when he first came to America. He will wear the person suit, which fits no better than it used to, even if he doesn't need to.

Hannibal must learn the new culture, to perform.

He steps into the classroom.

And then he sees it.

Eyes that are looking down, blue, blue, blue mirrors.

Hannibal is a man of refined taste and viceral violence. The gut always knows.

He steps through the room, and sits next to William.

Two souls, two people, but shared pain and shared love. And well, they were the Tianquan and the Captain of the Crux, of course they’d find some method to send messages to each other across any distance, no?

A few mis-aligned Sonic x Gawain x Percival x Lancelot soulmate AUs

Faulty Wiring 25.1.23

Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic x the Knights of the Round.

Everyone is born with a timer on their wrist. It counts down until either the moment they first meet their soulmate, or the moment they die, with no way to tell which it is until it comes to pass.

Sonic's timer beeped when Mephiles killed him. Even once reality is rewound it stays at zero. Each of the knights' timers beep when they meet Sonic.

(However, considering he was supposed to die before they ever met him...)

Catnaps 25.1.23

Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic x the Knights of the Round.

On Mobius, you can tell who your soulmate is because you share a sleep schedule; under all but the most extreme circumstances, you can only fall asleep at the same time as eachother. (Kinda like minecraft!) In the world of Camelot, this is... Not So.

The Knights find out about this because Sonic complains to Nimue that he wishes his soulmate would just friggen sleep for once.

Because especially given that it's considered generally a good idea to have at least one of the Knights of the Round awake and available at any given moment, the combination of Gawain, Lancelot, and Percival has been giving Sonic major insomnia his entire life.

That’s Too Much Chill Put Some Back 25.1.23

Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic x the Knights of the Round.

You can sense your soulmate's emotions, and they're harder to ignore the closer you are. But Sonic, who has no formal education, and is platonicly soulmated to basically all of his friends, has managed to miss this fact. Given the sheer number of people he can sense the emotions of, all of whom are unusually strong, he honestly just assumes it's a Chaos Power thing. That those of a certain level of strength kinda 'project' their emotions.

Add on to that that his first soulmate was Tails, who was maybe 5 when they met. And while Sonic found it incredibly useful to be able to sense his little brother's emotions all the time, he discovered pretty quickly that allowing his own fear or excitement to get into a feedback loop with Tails' could quickly get out of hand. So he learned to just be and project calm and confident all the time, no matter the situation, making it almost impossible for anyone to figure out that he is their soulmate either.

(In other words the blue boy has a lot of repression going on.)

Fighting Gawain is even less fun in this AU.

Fancy Flight 25.1.23

Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic x the Knights of the Round.

On Mobius everyone has wings, but they're too small to do anything and can only be seen by the mobian themselves and their soulmate. On top of only being visible to them, the feather's at the very tips of the wings are the colour of their soulmate as well.

Of course their are exceptions to every rule, such as winged mobians like Rouge, who just get colored tips on the wings they have.

And Sonic, who’s wings are plenty big enough for him to fly with.

None of the Knights have said anything about Sonic's appearance, and as such none of them have mentioned that they can see the large wings on his back.

In the world of Camelot you can only see colour while touching your soulmate anyway. And considering Sonic didn’t show any reaction when nearing them in combat, they’re all assuming their soulbond with him is unrequited.

Line That Leads To You

Pairing: Sirius Black x Fem! Reader AU: Soulmate AU CW: Language, Genre: Angst with a happy ending (don't worry guys) Summary: You make Sirius realize that having a soulmate isn’t all that bad— that he too, will have his happily ever after.

Note: One of my favorite tropes to write, soulmate AUs! Sirius just needs love and affirmation. I love writing for this! Enjoy! Picture is from pinterest, credits to the owner!

You know, Sirius never really believed in those pesky soulmates stuff. It irks him to no end, and makes his head hurt.

The topic makes him snappy, bitter, and it leaves him feeling angry. To whom? The world— the one who’s responsible for everything that has to do with soulmates. He thinks it is a bunch of bollocks. It’s a pathetic little concept that everyone seems to be too invested in.

Sirius would be very much happy to tell you it doesn’t really end with a happily-ever-after.

“I’m telling you, Prongs. It’s just a bunch of crap.” Sirius tells James one time at the drawing room in the Potter Manor. James shakes his head, disagreeing with his best mate.

“It isn’t always like Walburga and Orion, Pads.” James gently tells him, eyes swimming with empathy for Sirius. “Just look at me, Lily and I are together, finally.” Sirius can’t help but scoff, shaking his head in a disagreeing manner.

“That’s because you were already pathetically in love with her before you even knew she was the one, Prongs. Same thing for Lily, but she was quite stubborn trying to deny what she felt about you. You guys are actually made for each other.” James lets out a laugh, the memories resurfacing making a love-struck smile appear on his face (Sirius gave him a disgusted look)

“That’s what soulmates are, Pads. You’re supposed to complete each other, balance the other person out” He pursed his lips and sighed, there’s no way Prongs could understand his opinion on the matter.

Complete each other, huh?

Then can someone give him a reasonable excuse on why his parents broke each other? One descended into madness; the other doesn’t really seem to care as long as the noble house of Black lineage will continue.

Sirius bites his bottom lip, deep in thought as he stares at his pinky, willing the connection to be seen; a red string that was tied into a bow that leads to Merlin-knows-where. It serves as a connection; the string that he and only his soulmate can see whenever they want. He tugs on it curiously, awaiting any reaction with bated breath. He almost scrambled away when he felt the other end also tug it. Sirius was utterly terrified, a shiver crawled up to his system, it’s foreign feeling for the Black’s eldest son. It made everything feel too real. A fact that he desperately tries to deny.

That night, before they returned to Hogwarts as sixth year students was the last time he ever willed to see the annoying little string in his pinky, not caring if his supposed other half was finding him or already found him.

Maybe it had to do with his twisted upbringing. He saw how his father cut the string tying him to their mother, the purple string that bound them together turning gray and withering away.

He saw how Regulus flinched, no one should’ve seen a scene like that, but they did. Someone severing their connection to someone who should’ve been with them through better or for worse, the one that fate intended for them. Their life got worse just after that, forcing him to flee and leave his younger brother behind at the deranged hands of Walburga Black.

“You should eat more, Reggie.” You turned towards the quiet and reserved Slytherin, pushing his plate closer to him, which made him wince. “I am quite full.” You raised a brow “None sense, all you did was sip pumpkin juice so you better do as I say or I’ll tell Evan and Junior.”

“Do you know that you boss people around quite well?” He grumbles, shoving a few spoonsful of dinner in his mouth as you hummed in approval, cracking a small smile. “I was told.” Your eyes flickered to the Gryffindor table, it seemed to gravitate you, pulling you in.

Looking down at your pinky, you willed the string to be visible to you. Seeing the red string attached to Sirius Black made your stomach churn; was it butterflies? Unease? You don’t particularly know, having mixed reactions to the string that leads to your other half.

You’ve known for over a year now, keeping it to yourself as you quickly figured out that he wants nothing to do with his soulmate.

“Reggie! Reggie!”

You exclaimed, slapping the poor boy’s arm as he was currently staying in the L/n Manor. He looked in your direction, quite annoyed, he was interrupted reading his book. “I’m reading, Y/n. You know, you should too. It’ll do you some good.” He sassed, trying to find which part he stopped reading. “My soulmate! They tugged the string!” You gushed, “They must be looking for me too, right?” You asked no one in particular, you can still feel the tingles you felt, how your heartbeat picked up, and how you felt like you were in could nine.

Quite the opposite from what Sirius felt, huh?

You never told him, never planned to. It was quite clear what his views are on the concept of soulmates when you saw him snogging different girls every week. It wrecked you; you swore you felt your heart stop beating every time you see him loving a girl other than you even just for a week. It sounds stupid and all, but you would give up everything just to know what it feels like; how he will look at you with love and adoration in his eyes, how his touch and kisses would linger on your body, and how his voice would sound like as his breath fans in your ear, whispering promises of love.

You looked at him from the Slytherin table; so close yet so far.

Regulus noticed, the all too familiar broken look in your face. His heart hurts for you, even if you do not tell him, he already knows. Seeing his brother’s indifference, Regulus’s gaze hardened. How could he have the guts to do this to his soulmate?

The memory of their mother's despair, the way she withered away after their father severed the bond, was etched into his mind. Regulus does not wish for anyone to feel that way, he does not wish upon it even in his worst enemies.

It was a pain no one should endure, a lesson that should have been learned.

Yet there sat his brother, laughing with his friends and willfully ignoring the pulls of his heart. The person who held the other end of this unseen tether, was beside Regulus. Your soul ached as you watched your soulmate. It was a betrayal of the heart's deepest connection, and it stirred a tempest of fury within Regulus that he struggled to contain.

“My brother is foolish. Eat.” He states, pushing your food and placing the cornbread on his plate to yours. She cracks a smile, chuckling. “Alright, Reggie. You’re lucky I love you.” You pat his curls, proceeding to eat the bread, smiling a little. Reggie never really shares his food with anyone, except for you. You’re the only exception.

“Padfoot.” Remus starts, looking out of the window as Sirius lays down lazily in his bed, looking at nothing.

“What, Moons?”

“If I say that I have an inkling on who your soulmate is, would you… look for them?” Remus asked cautiously. Peter and James perked up, eyes wide with shock. How could Remus possibly guess who his soulmate is? Unless… They’re also in Hogwarts?

“Don’t start with that crap, Moony.” Sirius sat up; a scowl displayed in his features as his grey eyes turned stormy.

“Don’t you even feel the slightest amount of guilt in your system as you snog other girls?” Remus frowned.

Sirius’s scowl deepened, his hands clenching into fists. “Guilt? For what, Moony? For not wanting to be chained down by some ancient magic?” His voice was a low growl, barely containing the emotions that surged within him. “I won’t be dictated by fate. I make my own choices, and I refuse to be bound by a bond I never asked for.”

Remus’s expression softened, the lines of concern etching deeper into his face. “It’s not about being chained, Pads. It’s about finding someone who complements you, who understands you in ways no one else can.” He paused, his gaze steady and piercing. “You’ve seen what happens when that bond is severed. You’ve seen the pain it causes. Is that what you want for yourself? For your soulmate who’s probably hurting somewhere?”

Sirius looks down, biting his lip and playing with the rings on his fingers. “I don’t plan on severing our bond, Moons- “

“Then what the fuck are you doing?” Remus spat, Sirius flinched, looking at anything but them. He knew deep down that Remus was right. He can’t deny he also wants to look for his soulmate. The only thing that was holding him back is that he’s scared. What if your story would end similarly like how Walburga and Orion’s did? Dread fills his system as he reflects on how he slowly realized he’s becoming like his father. Peter and James exchanged a glance, the weight of the conversation settling heavily upon them.

“I’m scared,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “Scared of finding her… Scared of repeating the same mistakes.” He paused, his gaze lifting to meet Remus’s. “But you’re right. I can’t keep running from this. It’s not fair to them, and it’s not fair to me.”

James offered a supportive smile, feeling happy for his friend. Sirius stood up, his posture straightening as if shedding the weight of his fears. “I’ll do it. I’ll find her,” he declared, his voice steady. “I owe it to both of us to at least try.”

“That’s our Padfoot.” Remus breathes a sigh of relief as Peter nods encouragingly at Sirius.

The next daylight soon came. Sirius gulps, looking around the great hall, feeling quite overwhelmed at the number of students entering for breakfast, eating, or chatting amongst themselves. For the first time in a long time, he willed the red string of fate to reappear within his vision.

Ah, there it was. The red string connected to someone from the Slytherin table. Sirius felt his heart drop, seeing the end of the string connected to your pinky. “Y/n?” The name left his lips in a hushed awe, his heart skipping a beat as he saw the string connected to your pinky. You, who laughed with such ease beside Regulus, were the missing piece.

Whether it was some brotherly instinct, Regulus looked at him, shooting him a warning stare as if to say: ‘If you hurt her, you’ll never see the light of day ever again.’

Remus raised his eyebrows in surprise, knowing eyes set on his friend. “Found her, Pads?”

“Yeah. Found her, Moony.”

“Then what are you waiting for?” James chimed in, a grin spreading across his face as Peter silently cheers him on. “Go on, before you lose your nerve.”

Sirius took a deep breath, trying to shake off the weight of Regulus’s protective stare. It was a silent challenge, a vow to keep your heart safe from his brother. With a nod of acknowledgment, Sirius stepped forward, crossing the small distance between the Gryffindor table and Slytherin.

“Y/n,” he said, standing before you, the red string pulsing with a life of its own.

You stilled, slowly looking in his direction. Eyes wide with surprise, searched his for a moment before softening. “I was wondering when you’d come around,” you teared up, making Sirius’ heart ache.

Sirius extended his hand, the red string wrapping around both your destinies. “Let’s talk, yeah?”

And in that moment, as your fingers intertwined, Sirius knew that whatever the future held, he had made the right choice. For in finding you, he had found a new path that began to unravel, one filled with hope and courage. The buzz of Great Hall continued, but both of them felt time still, feeling the bond weave into their souls deeper.

Sirius’s and Y/n’s story had its flaws, but it was theirs, uniquely woven by the red strings of fate.

soulmate- LHS

heeseung x f!reader genre: fluff, strangers 2 lovers, soulmate au warnings: suggestive, cursing, kissing ft. yunjin, chaewon, wonyoung, ningning and hanni wc: 2k

Starting college in a different state isn't easy.

It's only been one week, but you miss your family and friends back home like crazy.

You haven't been able to make any friends so far, finding it hard to approach people.

It sounds corny, but it seems like everyone has their own clique at this college, and you don't know where you fit in.

What you have learned is who not to mess with.

There's a group of guys, all a part of your school’s dance team. 

They call themselves Enhypen. You don't know where the name came from, but it's something you haven't bothered to learn.

All you know is that they're well-known on campus, but no one is close to them. They're only close to each other.

Girls fawn over them despite this fact, and all of them have failed to get close.

Gossip spreads quickly around this campus. You know who’s who, who has crushes on who.

The other group of people you know not to mess with are the popular girls in your school.

Yunjin, Wonyoung, Ningning, and Chaewon.

All rich, all supposed mean girls who will destroy you if they so please.

Everyone expected them to be close to Enhypen, but even they're not.

Word says that Yunjin and Heeseung were together at one point until he cruelly broke it off with her, reasons unknown. 

So far, you've been keeping your head down and avoiding anything to do with those two groups.

Still, it would be nice to have a friend. Someone to talk to when you need an ear.

Walking to your next class, your head is buried in your phone, not paying attention to where you're going.

Suddenly, you fall back as you hit a hard wall.

Landing right on your butt, you look up to find Heeseung staring down at you. 

You stutter for a moment, trying to find words.

Everyone around you is frozen, waiting for something to happen.

You expect Heeseung to rip into you, and all you muster is a quiet, “I'm sorry.”

Ready to pick yourself up, you reach for your phone when a hand is offered.

It's Heeseung, and he looks at you expectantly.

Is this a trick? Is he going to help you up and then yell at you?

You take his hand, and he pulls you up quickly.

You can't bring yourself to look into his eyes, muttering, “I'm sorry again; I should've watched where I was going.”

With that, you move around him, walking to your class.

Whispers follow you, and you hear one person comment, “I can't believe that just happened. Why didn't he blow up at her?” 

So he should've yelled at you? At least, that's what you're getting from that person.

Why didn't he?

Did you leave before he could? Or did he know you were a friendless loser and didn't want to embarrass you further?

Would he have that kind of empathy?

His face was expressionless. You can't tell what he wanted to do.

Something stirred in your stomach, a feeling of fear. 

Why does it feel like this won't be the last time you encounter Lee Heeseung?

The rest of your day went by agonizingly slow. You couldn't wait to get back to your apartment and soak in your tub. 

The streets are quiet, multiple shops and stores closing for the night.

As you walk, you get this sickening feeling that you're being watched.

You speed up, almost running.

Your apartment is still a few minutes away and you can only pray you get there quickly.

Suddenly, you bump into a hard wall, screaming as someone grabs your wrists.

“Woah, it's just me!”

Heeseung stands in front of you, letting go of your wrists to put his hands up.

“You scared the shit out of me! Why would you do that?”

He looks taken aback for a moment before his face softens. 

“I'm sorry! I just saw you walking alone and figured I should walk you home.”

You narrow your eyes at him, “Why would you want to walk me home? You don't even know me.”

“It can get dangerous around here sometimes, there's been reports of people disappearing these last couple of days and it's not safe to walk alone.”

You look at him, “Are you lying to kidnap me or something?”

He shakes his head, “No, I swear I'm not!”

Crossing your arms, you look him up and down.

“Put your arms out,” you say, spreading your arms into a t for him to follow.

He complies, albeit reluctantly.

You, without warning, start patting him down, from his shoulders to his ankles.

Heeseung looks at you like you're crazy, but he doesn’t put his arms down.

To finish your inspection, you quietly check his front pockets before moving to his back pockets. His arms come down to hold yours.

“If you wanted to touch my ass that badly you could've just asked.”

He's smirking, looking at you as you glare at him.

“Don't flatter yourself, it's not like you got much back there anyway.”

“Hey!”

You giggle, walking around him to continue your way home as he follows you like a puppy.

“What happened to the timid girl who apologized for bumping into me earlier?”

You shrug, “Now that I know there's nothing to be scared of, I see no reason to be timid.”

“Why would you be scared of me?” He asks, eyebrows furrowing.

You have to admit he looks cute. 

“Well considering what people say about you, I was expecting you to yell at me.” 

He looks down, “I admit sometimes I have a temper, although I'm not proud of it.” 

You nod in understanding, “I get it.”

Before you know it, you've reached your apartment complex.

He walks you all the way to your door, waiting as you unlock it.

“Thank you, I appreciate it,” you say, giving Heeseung a genuine smile.

“Don't worry about it.”

With that, you go inside, and Heeseung begins to walk away. 

The next day, you're in the campus courtyard when a phone is suddenly shoved into your field of vision.

Looking up, it's Hanni, a girl you met in your psych class.

You wouldn't call yourselves friends exactly, more like acquaintances.

“What am I meant to be looking at?” You ask, taking the phone from her.

“You and Heeseung on the school's blog! 

You look down, and it's a photo of you and Heeseung from the other night.

His arms are holding yours while your hands are conveniently placed on his ass. 

Your faces are illuminated by the street lamp you were standing under.

“Who took this?” You ask. Looking around, it's like everyone has their eyes on you, gossiping and whispering to each other.

“Nobody knows, it came from an anonymous source!” Hanni replies.

“Has everyone seen this?”

“I think so, I was in my English class when I got a text from another friend. Everyone in that class was looking at their phones, including Yunjin.”

Yunjin? Shit. 

Everyone knows about Yunjin and Heeseung's history. If she thinks there's something going on between you and Heeseung, she'll surely come after you.

You stand up abruptly, handing Hanni her phone back. 

“I have to go to class, I'll see you.”

With that, you walk away, speed walking to your next class.

Just as you're about to walk in, a hand grabs your wrist, pulling you back.

It's Heeseung, and he's looking at you with worry. 

“Are you okay? You look scared.”

“Did you see the school's blog? We can't be seen together, it'll only bring trouble for me so please, leave me alone.”

You try to free your wrist, but Heeseung grips tighter.

“What do you mean? Did someone threaten you?”

“Not yet, but I don't think your ex-girlfriend would like us hanging around each other.”

Heeseung's face contorts into one of disbelief. “You're worried about Yunjin? Y/N she can't hurt you, even if she wanted to.”

“Maybe not physically, but she's powerful enough that she could hurt me academically. Run to her rich daddy and get me expelled or something!”

“That won't happen, Y/N.”

You're frustrated at this point.

“Why do you want to hang around me anyway? We don't know each other! I mean, what do you call this? A popular guy suddenly hanging around a random girl?”

Heeseung pulls you towards him until there's little to no space between you.

“Call it what it is, Y/N… attraction.”

His voice is low, and it almost makes you weak in the knees. 

But you won’t let him get to you, not like this. 

You finally free your wrist from his grip, walking away into your class.

You avoid everyone's eyes the rest of the day, but the whispers follow you everywhere.

“She's crazy going after Heeseung.”

“What a slut.”

“I hope Yunjin gets her.”

You've also been avoiding every glimpse of Yunjin or her friends. You can't take any chances.

As you're leaving campus, you spot Heeseung. 

He's with his friends, but as soon as he spots you, he starts jogging in your direction. 

“I told you to leave me alone.”

“You know I can't do that,” he says, coming to face you.

You continue to walk, and he continues to follow you. 

“I told you I'd walk you home.”

“I don't need you, Heeseung.”

“But I want you.”

You stop, “Again, Heeseung, you don't even know me. You don't know anything about me.”

“Then tell me. I want to know everything about you.”

“Why! Why are you so infatuated with me?”

Heeseung grabs your shoulders, “I can explain Y/N, just give me a chance.”

You don't know why, but he sounds just convincing enough.

When you reach your apartment, you quietly let him in.

“So, spill. What's got you so obsessed with me?”

Heeseung sits on your couch while you sit on the coffee table in front of him.

“I could smell it. It was so sweet it almost made me sick. Then, you bumped into me, and I knew right then and there. You were meant for me, Y/N.”

You can't help it, but you burst out laughing.

“Okay, I've heard some crazy shit in my life, but this has to be the craziest. What the hell are you talking about?”

Heeseung pouts, yes pouts. You never think a grown man has looked cuter.

“I'm serious, Y/N. Look, the truth is… I'm a vampire.”

You tilt your head, “A vampire? Come on, Heeseung, it's not Halloween.”

Heeseung sighs before he sits up. He takes your hands into his and opens his mouth. Within seconds, two long fangs protrude from his gums, coming to rest next to his incisors. 

You scream, pulling away from him so quickly that you flip yourself over the coffee table. 

Heeseung stands up, rushing over to help you but you back away on your butt, “Stop, get away!”

“Don't be like that. I tried to tell you!”

“Well sorry I wouldn't actually believe a guy trying to tell me he's a fucking vampire! It's not like it's common!”

“I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise. I just need you to understand me.”

“Understand what?” You say exasperated.

“That you're meant for me. We're meant for each other. I wouldn't have smelled you if it weren't true.”

“Heeseung. I just found out you're a vampire, and you're telling me this like I'm meant to just give in and get it. I don't get it!” 

“You're my soulmate, Y/N.”

“Soulmate? Soulmate, my ass! W-we don't know each other! How can I be your soulmate?”

“Because the universe doesn't lie. I was made for you, and you were made for me. I know it sounds crazy but I wouldn't lie about this.”

Heeseung offers a hand, and reluctantly, you take it. He pulls you up, bringing his hand to your face to cradle it. 

“You don't know how much this means to me, how much you mean to me. I've waited my whole life to meet my soulmate. Now, I have you here and I don't think I could ever let you go.”

You look into his eyes, trying to find some look of deceit or dishonor, but you can't find one.

His warm hand against your cheek feels comforting, you can't help but nuzzle into it.

“I… I can't say I'm not inclined to believe you. I've never thought about having a soulmate but… I guess I'm not opposed.”

Heeseung smiles, “I need you, Y/N. Let me show you how much.”

You nod, “Show me.”

With that, he dives in, connecting your lips.

The kiss is feverish, lips smacking, and teeth bumping. 

It's like he's been holding this in forever.

His tongue enters your mouth, and before you know it, he's backed you up to the door of your bedroom.

You open the door, guiding him back to your bed. As he lays you on it, you can't help but think how crazy you are for allowing this. A guy you've known for a mere two days, telling you he's a vampire and you're soulmate? Yet you can't find it in you to care. 

Heeseung shows you how much he cares about you that night.

2025 wips!

hi all! :D

very low pressure tag to everyone (open tag as well!) to share what you're working on in 2025! I've hit a bit of a wall and need to get organized, and even though most of my fics are impromptu 4am ramblings, I figured I'd hold myself accountable here and make it into a game of sorts for anyone who might be inclined to do the same.

I hope you've all had a lovely new year so far! x

*obligatory slightly nsfw warning*

ex-marine henry

after being dishonorably discharged from his position in the royal marines that he never truly wanted in the first place, henry finds himself adrift, hoping to start anew in the states. he meets alex, a younger, freshly divorced lawyer with whom it appears at first he has nothing in common with, but soon finds much more than he bargained for as they embark on an at times tumultuous but ultimately fulfilling fifteen-year relationship, navigating the threads of vulnerability, grief, friendship, and love.

rejected soulmates support group

the world has begun to move past the singular thinking that one is incomplete without their soulmate. henry knows that many people live long, fulfilling lives on their own or with a partner that might not have been fate's first choice for them. but at heart he's always been a hopeless romantic, and when fate decides to take his soulmate's life before they've even met one another yet on the tail end of the still-raw grief of losing his father, it feels as if the world is against him. lonely and lost, henry reluctantly seeks out support in the form of a small group that meets once a week, each member bringing their own perspective of loss to the circle. he'd thought he'd decided on staying alone for the rest of his life, but alex, a kind, curious empath with plenty of baggage of his own, might be the fresh perspective he needs to give love another try.

the simple life au

as part of their damage control tour, alex and henry are forced to take part in a reboot of the show 'The Simple Life' with a twist -- they'll spend five episodes between texas and washington and five in the uk, taking turns learning what each other's day-to-day looks like. between the press junkets and lazy rivers in the states and the ballrooms and etiquette training in london, both of them find themselves with more empathy for the other than they'd anticipated. the cameras capture not only their fast friendship but the beginning of a burgeoning, unexpected romance as well, defying their initial objective and sparking tentative optimism for a previously impossible future. they're still far from free, though, as both countries have their best interests in mind and full control over what narrative is aired to the world. it's going to take a leap of faith to make it work, but alex is more than ready to show henry how to jump.

speak easy

alex, a computer science major, has never met a number he didn't like. until he starts failing the poetry section of his mandatory english course. encouraged to seek out a tutor, his professor points him toward henry, a known writer and fellow student that always seems to evade alex's attempts to get to know him more deeply. henry leads him through his own self-proclaimed five step program to becoming a 'poet', strengthening his voice and ultimately helping him pass the course. but finding his voice means visiting parts of himself that alex had previously kept locked up tight or hadn't even known were there in the first place, and sharing his realizations with henry forms a bond between them that not even the journals-full of prose passed back and forth can scratch the surface of. that won't stop him from trying, though.

+

detroit become human inspired au

henry and pez run a safe haven for those who were once machines, deemed faulty for having developed genuine humanity and facing imminent decommission if found out. the next evaluation is in less than 24 hours, and alex's humanity is at 94%. luckily, he makes it to henry just in time.

midnight cowboy

alex, the lead singer of the widely known and highly acclaimed band midnight cowboy, is henry's biggest guilty pleasure—which is saying quite a lot. as a professional escort for the rich and elite, almost none of his pleasure is guilty these days. it feels like a fever dream when he gets the request from alex himself asking to spend a night together. he's long since being anyone's experiment, but with alex, unfortunately, henry finds he enjoys the idea of being some kind of first. (is 'only' too much to ask for?)

gynecologist henry

alex has done the college thing. the dream job thing. the casual, short term relationship thing. on paper, he has everything he ever said he wanted. it'd just be nice if he had someone to share it with sometimes. it'd be even nicer if his sister would stop trying to set him up with her gynecologist, who evidently finds himself in the same position.

+1 for the let's talk about sex! series

henry attends therapy in brooklyn once alex has moved in and things have slowed down a bit. it's predictably difficult but for the better, until they begin to cover the topic of his past relationships -- more specifically, sex. facing realizations that can no longer be shoved away, henry confides in alex and they reevaluate what intimacy might look like for them in the wake of healing from trauma.

+2 for the let's talk about sex! series

henry has to switch antidepressants and worries that his decreased libido will cause issues with his and alex's active sex life.

+3 for the let's talk about sex! series

henry arrives home early one night to find alex touching himself, which prompts a conversation about alex's past partners, misplaced shame, and self-pleasure within intimate relationships.

chauffeur alex

alex is the personal driver for henry, secret writer and infamous royal who'd abdicated and come to the states in his 20's to live freely and to marry his husband. now in his near-forties, the glamour and novelty of his story having long since worn off alongside his failing marriage, henry finds that alex is the only one he can confide in without fear -- and who is convinced that henry deserves so much more than he's getting. the last thing either of them need is to get feelings involved, but neither can say they tried as hard as they should've to have stopped them.

+

texan slang +1's

henry's been learning spanish already for the last few years in an effort to connect more with alex and his family. he did not, however, prepare for the myriad of texan-ism's that he encounters once they're back in austin, which is beginning to seem like a language all its own.

aftercare (+4 for the let's talk about sex! series)

neither alex nor henry have been in a serious relationship before and are unfamiliar with aftercare since it isn’t something they had with their previous partners. after a particularly intimate and intense round of lovemaking, they find themselves both feeling a little lost and restless, leading to a conversation about how they can best be there for each other after sex going forward. 

bottoming 101 (+5 for the let's talk about sex! series)

alex wants to bottom for the first time post-canon. henry walks him through the process—even the not-so-glamorous parts—and alex experiences a newfound appreciation for the previously unknown efforts that they go to to express their love.

dom bottom alex

self explanatory, really.

.

plus probably a lot of random ideas and/or add-on's to current series!

————————————————————————

Previously on Limerence:

The ride down is quiet your mind reeling and as if he knows he coaxes you to tell him what’s on your mind, “Who was that woman?” You ask, it comes out sounding impatient and certainly more jealous than you wanted.

“Oh that’s just Jade my secretary, she’s been here quite a while but I don’t really know that much about her other than her name and that she has a brother. That’s about it.” You nod slowly taking in everything he just said, you still don’t like it. You don’t like just Jade.

“It’s okay sweetheart you don’t need to be jealous with me, everything that I am is yours.” He smirks playfully at you, watching you closely with careful eyes.

“I’m not jealous.” You huff, arms folding under your chest with a pout gracing your lips, Kento chuckles at the sight thinking if he died right now and your cute little pout was the last thing he’d see, he’d be one hundred percent okay with that. “I’m not jealous.” You repeat frowning at his unconvinced face.

“Whatever you say sweetheart.”

You ignored his grin as best you could as he walked you to his car, a black SUV, definitely a luxury car. You noticed as you got in that everything was so clean and expensive looking. You felt out of place sitting in the vehicle.

He asks for the therapist address and you willingly gave, the drive was quiet yet comfortable, and rather short. “Thanks for dropping me off.” You blushed resisting the urge to fiddle with the hem of your sweater, the awkward tension that only you were feeling was rising quickly.

“I’ll be waiting for you when you’re done sweetheart.” He says so matter of fact, so sure that it makes your heart beat quicker. Your stomach fluttering as he gets out of the car to open your door, offering you his hand to help you out. “You don’t have to wait.”

What Kento wants to say is that those words were the stupid thing he’d ever heard, he’d wait a thousand years for you let alone an hour. He’s happy to, he’s ecstatic to simply be in your presence and help you.

“Nonsense.” Is all he comes out with, you notice a small smile gracing his lips before you make your way inside the building…

“How are you today?” Was the dreaded question you were asked every week by the woman sat in the comfy white chair, left leg crossed over right as she smiled your way with soft understanding eyes. It made your stomach churn at the sight, the pity and empathy that took hold of her face after she had read your file for the first time, it was awful and you’ve had to deal with it every week since.

You simply nod because you don’t really know what to say. How were you? All in one day you had met Sukuna, interviewed him. Ran out of work, something you’d definitely have to speak to your boss about later, you’d had Sukuna and Kenjaku turn up at your apartment and wake you from your omega space, you had met all six of your mates and now one of them has dropped you off at therapy and is waiting in the car for you to finish.

You take notice of the sparkle on her finger, you remember her telling you about her own mate. Just one. Her beloved husband, and two children, her precious family. A perfect one. Your gaze slides over the pictures scattered around the room of the picture perfect family and again your stomach churns.

You don’t remember what it’s like to be in a family much less a perfect one where everyone loves each other and you all get along. It’s a strange realisation when you remember what Sukuna said earlier, you had a family now. You didn’t know a single thing about them other than that they saved the world, but you did have them.

“I’m not really sure. So much has changed so fast and we both I’m not good with that.” You confessed to her, her face changing to a sympathy you felt undeserving of. She gestured for you to explain more and you do, leaving out the part of who you’re mated to, she’s shocked to say the least.

“Well that is a very interesting turn of events I must say. Take my advice or don’t, all I’ll say is be open to it. It could very well be the best thing that ever happens to you.” She smiles sweetly, you nod and begin telling her about your week before meeting your mates. Any anxiety attacks you had, the insomnia, the lack of eating and before you know it the timer is going off to say your session has ended.

You bid each other goodbye before heading out the building to see Kento waiting for you, a little smile pulling at his lips as he opens the car door for you. You slip inside having no idea how hard he’s fighting the urge to hug you close and plant kisses all over your forehead. Clearing his throat he jogs over to the other side of the car and gets in himself, quickly pressing the button to turn off his phone that had been sat on the dashboard, he hopes you haven’t seen the screen and ruin the surprise.

While waiting for you, Kento had sat in the car on his phone scrolling through nesting equipment websites. These types of companies were created a few years ago and took off. There were so many people who needed the comforts that they hadn’t before, and these were the perfect online shops to buy from.

Titsi was an amazing werewolf comfort shop, it was the most popular out of all the chains. It was not only online but had thousands of shops all over the world. It sold, soft and rough nesting blankets; all different shapes, colours and sizes. It sold stretchy clothes so they didn’t rip when people turned into their wolf forms. Clothes for new pups and toys.

And lucky for Kento the Valentine’s Day sale was still on. He scrolled down to the nesting blankets, clicking the softest category. He may not know your favourite colour but he goes with a nice neutral white. He imagines it all messy with the other blankets and other comfort items you could possibly have.

He purchases the biggest size on there and pays extra for next day delivery, the money is nothing to him but he hopes the blanket is everything to you. He hopes you add it to your nest the second he gives it to you but he doubts that will happen. You pay no mind as he slips his phone in his pocket before turning to you.

“Do you have a spare moment to come with me to the compound for a checkup?” He asks and although it’s soft, it scares you. It’s too caring and not at all what you’re use to. You haven’t had a medical checkup in years, what if they find something bad? What if you never have a heat? What if you can’t have pups? Suddenly your heart clenches painfully in your chest at the thought. You needed to know as much as he did.

“Only you and the doctor right?” You ask, maybe if you did receive bad news it would be easier if you only had to deal with one of your newly found mates instead of all six.

“If that is what you wish.” Kento is happy to do whatever he can to make you feel comfortable, if it means keeping his brothers at bay for a while then that’s what he’ll do.

-

The Compound was huge. Bigger than you had imagined, but you weren’t surprised not with all the alphas running around the place. You had agreed to this wanting desperately to ease the worry on Kento’s face, maybe you were regretting it now. Though his strong and confident hand on your back eased your worries as he led you through the compound and into the lab.

You greeted the doctors and stayed silent while Kento explained his worries, thought the men in white lab coats seemed to think nothing of it, agreeing to the tests but assuring you both that everything would be fine just as Kento did with you.

“Everything’s gonna be fine honey.” He smiled reassuringly as the doctor took your blood pressure. Your feeling lightheaded, dreading the outcome. Dreading that something bad is going to happen and before you know it the door is opening and Jade is popping inside handing a phone to Kento and whispering something to him. He nods and says to you, “I just need to take this sweetheart, I’ll be right back.” Before slipping outside and leaving you alone with her and the doctor.

She was here. Why was she here? You didn’t want her here. Jade stared at you as the doctor took your bloods, her eyes only wavering from you to the needle and then back to your face. She’s a green eyed monster, dangerous sparkling emerald eyes lurking in your mind. And suddenly you believe he is on her side. She’s demon in disguise looking for a weak spot to bring you misery, to spark a burning fire. You don’t know how long you can keep going before your own green eyes monster takes a hold of you and looses control.

You didn’t want her to know why you were having the tests done but when she asked the doctor, he happily spilled the beans thinking she was a close friend, you didn’t even get a chance to say you didn’t want her to know.

Her face completely changed to relief, her posture suddenly relaxed and a pathetic amount of hope was present in her eyes, “So does that mean she can’t have children?” She asks, disgusting excitement swirling in her voice.

This time you don’t give the doctor a chance to give up your information, “Who the fuck are you to ask that?” You seethe, teeth gritted as you spit out your words. Jade’s face becomes dark and annoyed as her eyes flit from the doctor to you.

“It’s important that I know.” She snarks, nose turned up as she stands there impatiently.

“You don’t get to know a god damn thing about my body and my children. Get the fuck out!” You shout, practically bellow, quickly becoming furious with this entitled bitch. Your behaviour shocks the doctor who had just finished taking your blood. Kento had described you to be shy and to be careful with you, he had expressed this sternly. But your behaviour was shocking you too, you felt your omega taking over, clawing its way to the surface. Ready to fight for what was yours.

“You silly little girl!” The words have you pushed into a flashback, your father saying the same exact words to you before he put you in that car… “I need to know if you can have pups or not! I need to know if I still have a chance with the man I love!” She screeches lunging forward grabbing onto your hair and clothes, pulling you down to the ground by her grip.

The doctor is frantic, trying to get her off as she slaps you across the face once. A sinister grin on her face as she raises her hand to do it again only for her wrist to be gripped harshly, Jade is ripped away from you and thrown against the pristine white wall.

“YOU DARE HURT MY MATE!” Kento’s snarl is heard in the entire compound as it shakes the walls and floors. Complete devastation is clear on Jade’s face as she struggles to her knees, Kento’s eyes fade to jet black a clear sign his wolf is in control.

You were dazed, she slapped you hard. Hard enough to not only leave a stinging mark but to also have your vision blurred at the edges and a ringing in your ears. It was difficult to concentrate, to understand what was happening around you. You needed to get it together, you’d been through far worse. Your black sweater and white blouse was ripped by her claws at the back, you felt the breeze against your bare skin as Kento helped you onto your feet. You vaguely remember Jade being escorted out the room by men wearing black tactile gear, it was all a blur as Kento pulled you into his chest and attempted to comfort you. His wolf desperate to keep you close, even when the brothers showed up he refused to let you go. He held you as you walked out of the building, he held you in the car, he held you whilst walking to a large house and finally you were in a big bed snuggled up against him. You didn’t get much chance to look around but you were sure that this was the Ôgami house.

-

You don’t remember falling asleep but with the warmth of Kento’s large body against yours, it couldn’t be helped. You notice you’re in a nest, created by the two beautiful men clumsily asleep on the bed too. Sukuna and Satoru had been running around and getting shirts and blankets for the nest while Kento pulled you into bed and held you against him.

His large, warm hand sliding up your throat, his thumb brushing over your bottom lip. Him smiling as softly as he can before pressing an even softer kiss on your forehead. The memory creates a shiver that racks down your spine.

Shaking it off you slip out of bed and out of the room, the house was dark as you wandered around making you stumble right into another room. “Angel. You’re awake, how are you feeling?” Your eyes blink to adjust to the lamp lighting the room, you find Yuji at a desk covered in paperwork.

“Achy.” You answer simply, walking closer to him and peaking at the work on his desk.

He took notice following your eyesight, “Ah, the police asked me to put the secretary’s files together for court.” That was his job after all, besides overseeing the transportation and housing of those Alphas, he was in charge of the hiring and firing of all employees. This was his domain.

“Jade.”

“Yes. Jade. She will be tried for having attacked a soulmate, as well as some other things we’ve found but she’ll get thirty years just for attacking you.” Yuji smiled, he was happy she would be put away for harming you.

“Wow.” Your eyes start to sting with tears, you’re not even sure why. Yuji doesn’t ask, instead he pulls you into his lap for a cuddle. Even though you tense at the soft foreign touch, you allow him to move you as he pleased and comfort you in the way he knows how to.

“It’s okay. It’s over now.” He whispered gently stroking your hair as he hugged you to him. A few moments of silent thought passed before he spoke once more, “I understand this has been a very long and exhausting day for you, I understand this is so new to you. We all understand. We especially hope the incidents that have occurred today has not stopped you from accepting us as your mates. Though we can all have a serious discussion about that later.”

Yuji’s hand cupped your cheek leading your eyes to meet his, “I will say this, no one will ever hurt you again for as long as I live. This I vow to you.”

14. Hi!!! I have something for the next ITMF.

I'm feeling kinda angsty today, so are there any fics where Lan Zhan sacrifices himself for Wei Ying's happiness?

It could be any kind of sacrificial method and Wei Ying doesn't know of Lan Zhan's sacrifice until it's too late. Wei Ying could try getting him back through any means (time travel, necromancy, etc) except for sacrificing himself :D

Thank you and keep up the good work!

There is an empathy-bond soulmate AU fic concept in my head that starts with newly-decanted comics!Superboy realizing he has a soulmark and being so excited for it, because yes he desperately wants to be accepted as "Superman" but also he equally desperately wants to be accepted as someone who is his own someone, and a soulmark means someone out there will, right? Someone will care more about specifically him than just the "S"?

So he sort of tests out the empathy bond; tries sending a sort of greeting, or some kind of feeling, or just--something. He isn't really sure how it works, Cadmus was not clear on this, but like, he can figure it out, he figures. They made him out of Superman, so of course he can figure it out.

He thinks--maybe he feels something back? Maybe? It seems . . . sad, almost, but also longing and wanting, and . . .

He tries it a few more times, for a little while. Superman's dead and he's got Metropolis to worry about and a lot of proving himself to do, so he doesn't obsess over it or anything. Just when he has a moment, he tries it, and he thinks he's figuring it out? Kinda? He thinks he feels something back, and sometimes even thinks he feels his soulmate sending to him first.

They seem lonely. Lonely and a little lost. But still longing. Still . . .

Still hopeful.

And like, that's something he thinks he might understand, maybe. He doesn't know if his mark is romantic or platonic or familial--okay, no, obviously it wouldn't be that, he tells himself, he shouldn't be stupid enough to get his hopes up for familial--but he wants to meet them. He wants to know them. He wants--

And then he sees one of the pictures of Superman's dead body after Doomsday happened to him, and sees the soulmark on his chest behind the ripped-up "S".

And it's the exact same soulmark.

So Superboy . . . doesn't actually have a soulmark. Cadmus just copied Superman's and put it on him. Everything he's been sending and sensing was all just his imagination, not--was just him being stupid. Not ever a soulmate's feelings, just his own.

He's not actually . . .

He stops trying to send his emotions through a bond that isn't even there, obviously, and stops being--stupid. Like that. Ignores it when he thinks he's feeling something, because he's obviously not. He's just being stupid.

He should've known, obviously. He's a clone. He probably doesn't even have a soul to be marking anyone with.

He really, really should've known.

And halfway across Metropolis, a still-grieving Lois Lane starts worrying herself crazy because the bright and eager and lonely brand-new baby soulkid who started sending to her a little bit after Clark died has just completely vanished from their bond.

WIP Wednesday — Steddie Soulmate AU

i've been picking at this lil soulmate identifying mark au for months now. one day!!

Steve didn’t understand what exactly his mother had taken away from him until he was seventeen, on the bathroom floor, bloody and dirty, head spinning, when he pulled up his sleeve and showed Robin Buckley the scar. It was near white against his summer tan, unnaturally so. But he understood it finally when Robin’s eyes landed on it.

When he told her, “I used to have one.”

When he’d whispered, “My parents got it removed.”

When he’d confessed, “Eddie Munson used to be my soul mate.”

He understood then, because Robin looked at him in a new way. Steve wasn’t used to people looking at him like that. 

Looking at him with pure horror, a fierce rage, and horrible, horrible grief. She had started to cry then, fat tears rolling down her face, mouth twisted up in an ugly grimace, her chest heaving and sobbing. It was horrible to watch. She was beautiful. Steve held her while she sobbed into his shoulder and wondered why he couldn’t cry at all. It was an awful moment, he’d hated it from the second he’d opened his mouth. He wanted to disappear into the tile and grout, escape the girl who was crying for him when he couldn’t. He wasn’t used to it anymore, for someone to look at him like that.

He wasn’t used to that kind of empathy. It had been cut from him.

It’s teaser Tuesday today! Schwirren dir zur Zeit Kapitel, Strory Oder Oc Ideen im Kopf umher teile alles was du möchtest mit uns? #ffmmff #fanfiction.de #shareyourloveforthingsinyourhead

Wusstet ihr, dass man Dinge tatsächlich aufschreiben muss, um sie auf tumblr zu posten? Das hatte ich irgendwie vergessen in letzter Zeit. Jetzt ist mein Hirn aber wieder benutzbar, und ich beantworte endlich mal Zeug!

Das hier zuerst, wobei ich tatsächlich überlegen musste wovon ich eigentlich reden will, weil so viel Kram in meinem Hirn schwirrt. :D Konnte mich dann aber entscheiden!

Kennt ihr diese Oktober-Writing-Challenges? Jeden Tag gibt es einen Prompt, und man schreibt irgendwas dazu, egal was, hauptsache schreiben? Ich dachte mir dieses Jahr: ja, das will ich machen, dieser zusätzliche Druck wird mir definitiv gut tun!

Wollte dann aber nicht meine bereits existenten Charaktere neben...dann ist mir dieser tumblr-post auf pinterest über den Weg gelaufen...

...und irgendwie hat sich alles sehr schnell verselbstständigt.

please don't judge me too harshly

Ich wollte eigentlich nur 'ne kleine Romanze schreiben, mich ein bisschen aus meiner comfort zone bewegen. Aus der kleinen Romanze wurden dann irgendwie Soldaten in irgendeinem (nicht näher benannten) historischen Krieg, und aus denen wurden dann irgendwann Gottheiten. Ja, ich weiß ja auch nicht - aber ich weiß dass ich nicht an Mary Sues glaube. Ich hab' Spaß, ja?

Enter Yíbào und Shíhán, die in ihren sterblichen Leben auch irgendwann mal normale Namen hatten, die nicht auf einem Idiom basieren (und nicht Brutalität und Kälte versprechen), welche allerdings unter Sterblichen schon lange vergessen sind. Kriegsgott und Göttin des Bogenschießens, nur dass sich Shíhán es mit den anderen Göttern verspaßt hat, und jetzt wieder auf der Erde rumschlurft. Suckt ein bisschen, aber das kriegt sie auch noch hin.

Ja, wie kommt's zur connection? Yíbào war zu Lebzeiten eiskalter Kriegsstratege, und allgemein irgendwie bekannt dafür sich nicht wirklich für seine Soldaten zu interessieren. Alles seine Schachfiguren, alle nur so wichtig wie sie nützlich sind. Ganz netter Kerl. Shíhán war in den Augen der Leute damals hauptsächlich eine Frau und nicht viel mehr, aber um Himmels Willen konnte sie gut mit dem Bogen umgehen. Fand' Yíbào ganz toll (naja, so toll wie Mr. "Empathie und Gefühle hat sich irgendein Philosoph nur ausgedacht" irgendetwas finden kann), und hat beschlossen dass sie unfassbar nützlich ist. Wie wär's mit ein bisschen den Feind mit Pfeilen befeuern? (Fand' Shíhán eine gute Idee!)

Yíbào hat eine wichtige Schlacht gewonnen und hoppsala, Kriegsgott isser. Einfach puff und weg. Shíhán fand' das echt gar nicht witzig, sie hat den Eisklotz ja doch irgendwie liebgewonnen (warum kann sie auch nicht sagen, aber sie hat in Yíbào doch ein paar menschliche Züge gesehen), und jetzt lässt er sie einfach alleine? Frechheit. Natürlich kriegt sie als Frau auch kein Lob ab wenn's um den Kriegsausgang geht, und das macht sie nur noch wütender.

Könnt ihr raten wie's läuft, wenn sie sich dann doch nach über fünf weiteren Jahren auch zur Gottheit hochkämpft? Wie war das mit Romanze? Wie war das mit dem roten Faden? Wer sagt eigentlich, dass Soulmates immer harmonisch zusammenleben müssen? Warum kann Shíhán den Bastard von Mann nicht einfach hassen, weil Empathie für ihn ein Fremdwort ist, er wirklich ein wenig zu gerne Kriegsgott ist, und ein wenig zu zufrieden damit ist, dass seine Anhänger eine Todesangst vor ihm haben?

...ja, vielleicht mag Yíbào sie ja doch irgendwie, auch wenn er's nicht einordnen kann. Nicht, dass Shíhán das irgendwie interessieren würde! Ganz sicher nicht! Sie hasst den Mann! (Hat er ihr wirklich etwas getan? Eigentlich nicht. Aber in ihren Augen hat er sie alleine gelassen, das ist schlimm genug. Communication? What's communication?)

sind das noch red flags? werden die schon zu black flags? disqualification due to outside help? Doesn't matter, immerhin schlurft Shíhán mit ihrem Hitzkopf ja mittlerweile wieder auf der Erde rum!

...

...wehrt Yíbào sich deshalb nicht, wenn die anderen Götter ihn auch irgendwann "runterschubsen" weil sie irgendwie ein bisschen Angst vor ihm haben? So (wenn man ihn fragt) ohne Grund, nur aus Paranoia?

Vielleicht. :)

Das ist alles irgendwie den Oktober über komplett ausgeartet, ich konnte mich nicht wehren. Mein Hirn tut, was es tun will.

uiii primärfarben

[steddieunderdogfics]

This week’s writer spotlight feature is:  @alwaysurvalentine! alwaysurvalentine has 11 fics in the Stranger Things fandom on AO3 and all of them are in the Steddie tag!

@dame-zoom-a-lot recommends the following works by @alwaysurvalentine:

bad days were meant to be shared

three strikes and you're out!

aquariums and sweethearts

"If I had to put an image to their fics… I'd say a warm blanket and a piece of cake.

Their slices of life fics get cooked with so much care and thought. A lot of them are my go-to when I'm feeling kind of off or lonely. They approach conflict with so much empathy and realism. No one's just shitty out of the blue with zero reason, and characters talk things out in a way that feels like how real people would talk. There's rarely clear villains or clean-cut forever happy-ending type resolutions in real life, and their fics shine at showing the beauty of that." -- @dame-zoom-a-lot

Below the cut, @alwaysurvalentine answered some questions about their writing process and some of their recommended work!

Why do you write Steddie?

Honestly, I just really vibe with both of them as characters. It’s easy to draw some of my own parallels with how Eddie sees the world and Steve’s fall from grace within my personal life - so it’s nice to play around with characters who I can understand. Plus I love taking the “protectors” from the narrative and forcing them to allow others to care for them.

What’s your favorite trope to READ?

I’m a sucker for any type of soulmate au, the ones with soulmarks are my guilty pleasures. Just something about knowing there’s someone out there destined to care about you makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

What’s your favorite trope to WRITE?

Anything slice of life or found family - I just love getting to give characters all the love and care they deserve. Especially when canon has put them through the ringer!!

What’s your favorite Steddie fic?

With no cross to bear (these words just come out) by hitlikehammers https://archiveofourown.org/works/45052120/chapters/113340064 I come back to this fic again and again. Love their Eddie POV and all of the reactions from the party feel authentic and I just love a fic that really shows how much everyone cares about Steve (even if he doesn’t see it).

Is there a trope you’re excited to explore in a future work but haven’t yet?

I’ve had a big idea about a possession type fic starring Eddie. It’s gonna be a big project though so it may be workshopped and shelved for another time while I work on some other stuff!

What is your writing process like?

Music is my biggest inspiration and I listen to Spotify all of the time (my spotify wrapped is about to be WILD), but usually I’ll get a spark of an idea from a song, scribble down a quick interaction I can see, and then once I get home it’s getting it all out on a doc. It usually takes me a few days to a week for me to get a fic where I want it, especially when the characters take things into their own hands for the narrative (I’m looking at Eddie and Robin here)

Do you have any writing quirks?

I actually write everything in red text until I decide I like the section. I have so many documents that have different colored text based on how I feel about it. Black means it’s ready to be proofread/don’t change, purple or blue for things I want to rewrite, and then red for what I’ve gotten down but isn’t edited/reviewed yet. Besides that I also go in thinking I’m going to keep it short and sweet and then I blink and we’re 2k in - but it’s been fun nonetheless!

Do you prefer posting when you’ve finished writing or on a schedule?

If I’m doing a prompt challenge usually it’s as soon as I’m done (totally not because I finish the day of…totally not that) but other than that I have a personal schedule to have certain things done by, otherwise I’ll nitpick forever.

Which fic are you most proud of?

Three Strikes and You’re Out! It was super fun to play around with connecting baseball terms to DnD in a way that still made sense and wasn’t just a block of info text.

How did you get the idea for aquariums and sweethearts?

It was actually a little followup I did for another fic, where Eddie visited the aquarium with Uncle Wayne but wasn’t able to get the souvenir he wanted. And I wanted Steve to kinda complete that circle, plus I wanted them to have a moment where they could kinda be kids again.

When writing aquariums and sweethearts, what was something you didn’t expect?

I honestly didn’t expect it to be so long, I was just going to write a tiny follow up but got carried away with my own aquarium memories and research so I just kept wanting to add more and more

What inspired three strikes and you're out!?

I feel like I’ve seen a lot of fics where Steve meets Eddie halfway with his interests and I wanted to see the opposite. Like it’s one thing for Eddie to concede that being a jock isn’t so bad, but it’s another for him to go out and learn about a sport/something that doesn’t interest him at all, ya know?

What was your favorite part to write from three strikes and you're out!?

Oooh! Such a hard question, for me it’s a tie between the conversation Eddie has with Lucas and his conversation with Uncle Wayne. I just liked putting Eddie in a situation where he was the one learning, instead of being the one in charge/control.

How do/did you feel writing bad days were meant to be shared?

It was a little hard starting out, I knew a couple things I wanted to happen but besides that I really went in kinda blind. Once I got into the groove though, it felt like it just wrote itself. Steve knew what he was feeling and just guided me along.

What was the most difficult part of writing bad days were meant to be shared?

So fun fact, I actually wrote the first draft completely from Eddie's point of view. I was trying to find his voice (still feel like I’m working on this but progress is progress) but it just wasn’t flowing right and Dame-Zoom-A-Lot actually helped beta for me. They’re the one who suggested the point of view switch and it worked so well!!

Do you have a favorite scene and/or line from any of your fics?

A favorite scene I’ve written has to be in aquariums and sweethearts when Eddie and the Mime gang up on Steve to poke fun at him, it just felt like something Eddie would play along with and enjoy.  These couple of lines from Three Strikes and You’re Out! Make me really happy, like sent my friends a dorky screenshot because I liked them so much: “Eddie’s world narrows to the smell of Steve’s cologne, something that smells like rain on freshly cut grass and a hint of vanilla. Just as soon as Steve leaned in, he leans away, the sun painting orange and pink highlights in his hair when he tilts his head grinning.”

Do you have any upcoming projects or fics you’d like to share/promote?

I’m working on a Steve Harrington ‘character study’ from Hopper’s point of view currently and might be starting on an Anastasia AU starring Chrissy as Anya and Robin as Dimitri - super stoked for both of these!

Outside of these questions, Is there anything YOU would like to add?

Endless thanks to my nominator!! I just started posting for Steddie this August and it’s been unreal. So thankful for all of my new friends and can’t wait to share some more of my little ideas and chat with other people about their art and stories! <3

Chapter Two

____________________________________

"Your Grace. I present to you, Prince Cassius of the Arkand." The royal Stewart announced.

You sat beside your older sisters. Your brothers sitting beside your father. Being the middle child of five children really put you in the position to get married off, seeing as there was no hope of gaining the throne.

Prince Cassius' escorts had entered the grand throneroom. They came in with a flurry of green and blue, representative of their kingdom's dominant colours.

You were surprised at how they managed to fit a large elephant carrying the said prince, it's back decorated with soft rugs and golden jewels. Your eyes went up and met with fiery brown ones, his smile breaking out at the sight of you scanning his features. Dark hair with skin kissed by the sun. It was a mystery to you on how he hadn't been married years earlier even if he was the same age if not a bit older than you.

The elephant stopped in front of the throne and the prince slid down the elephant without any hassle as though he usually did so daily. The rest of his people followed behind as he walked up to the steps that led to where the royals sat and bowed.

There was a small silence as your father looked over towards your future husband and his parade. He stood up, leading everyone present to stamd up.

"It is an honour to have you present." Your father said, his eyes still cold yet welcoming.

"No your majesty, it is my honour," The prince replied with a silky voice, his eyes glancing at you before a small smirk graced his features," You have allow us to take care of one of the many flowers in your beautiful garden."

You quirked an eyebrow in thought, 'Do I go through photosynthesis too?'

"We hope to nurture and care for her as much as you and your kingdom have, if not, more."

Your father chuckled," I am glad to hear that, bit for now, onto the celebrations. I hear your father may come in later since he's handling another matter."

"He will Your Grace, and he sends his regards as well as apologies for being late."

Your father nodded before gesturing to your kingdom's stewart," Lead them to the dining hall. They had a long journey, they must be hungry."

Soon the visitors from Arkland had followed the man. Their servants heading out to place the large and cute elephant somewhere it could rest. Your father made his way with your mother in hand. Your brother's trailing behind with their own swagger. Your sisters taking a glance at you with a small smile before heading to the dining hall.

Lyra almost seemed to magically appear beside you as you walked," So, what do you think?"

You looked at her," Judging by the fact that he looks like God took his time to make him and that he only gets a wife now, I may be dealing with either a hoe or a Draco Malfoy."

"Actually your highness, people of Arkland are only allowdyto marry from the moment they reach 18. He's had two years to find a wife and only now accepts a partner. " Lyra stated.

"Still doesn't change the–"

"I also hear that he's one of the many who don't have a soulmate mark. Rumours speculate that whoever it would have been must've died long before he could meet them."

Your eyes widened in shock and a bit of empathy started to form withing your heart. How much it like to not have known or felt a soulmate mark on your body. No red string, no tattoo, no initial..

"Well, maybe I'll be a bit kinder then." Your hand went to the sting you felt in the initial on your wrist, pulse beating through it. 'What if whoever they are is hurt?'

The thougt had come one evening when the supposed initial had seemed to fade a bit but now it was darker than it was.

_________________________________________

Zoro had enough. Not only did he feel a weird sense pulsating through his body, hos eyes were searching around for where everyone went. It felt like he was going in circles.

In truth he was lost trying to find where the Arlong Pirates were. Again. Nami had set him free and now that the truth about her having saved Ussop from dying at the hands of the fishmen reviving everyone's hope to save her. But his navigational skills were nonexistent so he resolved to finding someone he knew.

He caught sight of Sanji lighting one of his cigarettes. Approaching the cook he saw Luffy in the distance, without his hat. Nami beside him.

'Im guessing it's time to fight, properly.'

He disregarded the feel of his wounds aching after his fight with Mihawk a few days ago. Now was not the time to lick wounds. It was time to save a friend.
