#everything just makes sense i love them sm

[vandme12]

I love ur writing style sm..If you could would you be able to do a Ronin x reader with BPD? maybe how he'd handle them splitting or having a really bad day?

Ronin wasn’t the kind of guy people turned to for comfort.

He was chaos incarnate, all sharp edges and sharper smiles, always toeing the line between amusement and something far more dangerous. But when it came to you? Well. That was different.

You weren’t having a bad day. You were having the kind of day that made the walls feel too close, the air too thick, your own skin too heavy. The kind of day where everything ached, and nothing made sense, and your mind wouldn’t stop eating itself alive.

And Ronin noticed.

He always noticed.

You were curled up in the corner of the couch, staring at nothing, fingers curled so tight into your sleeves that your knuckles had gone white. He didn’t say anything at first, just watched, sharp gaze tracking the way you breathed too fast, too shallow, your eyes darting to the door like you wanted to run but had nowhere to go.

Then, without a word, he flopped down next to you, long limbs sprawling, head tilting back against the cushions. He didn’t try to touch you, didn’t try to pry, didn’t do anything but exist right there beside you, like his presence alone was enough to anchor you.

And in a way, it was.

“You wanna talk or you wanna distract?” he finally asked, voice lazy, like this wasn’t the most important question in the world.

You swallowed hard, blinking back the burn in your eyes. “I don’t know.”

Ronin nodded like that was fine, like that made perfect sense. “‘Kay. We’ll sit in the void together, then.”

He stretched his arms behind his head, closing his eyes like he could fall asleep right then and there. The silence stretched, but not the bad kind. Not the crushing kind. Just… there.

You should’ve known he wouldn’t let you sink too deep.

After a few minutes, he cracked one eye open, lips twitching into a grin. “Hey. You ever think about how weird fish are?”

You blinked. “What?”

“Like, objectively. Why do they look like that? Why do they move like that? Why do they all have that same dead little stare?” He turned his head, raising a brow. “Creepy little bastards.”

Despite yourself, despite the storm still raging in your head, a small, startled laugh bubbled up in your throat. “Ronin, what the fuck?”

His grin widened. “See? You’re thinking about fish instead of whatever fucked-up shit your brain’s throwing at you. I win.”

You rolled your eyes, but the tightness in your chest had loosened just enough for you to take a deeper breath. Just enough to let the world feel a little less like it was caving in.

And then, because Ronin was Ronin, he scooted closer, slinging an arm around your shoulders and pulling you in without hesitation. He was always warm, always solid, and right now, that was exactly what you needed. No expectations, no pressure—just him.

“You’re gonna be okay, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice a low, steady thing. “Even when it feels like you won’t. Even when your brain’s lying to you. You’re gonna be okay.”

You squeezed your eyes shut, gripping the fabric of his shirt like it was the only thing keeping you from falling apart completely. “Promise?”

Ronin didn’t hesitate. “Always.”

And maybe, just maybe, that was enough.

Ronin x BPD Reader Headcanons

Ronin is surprisingly good at reading your moods, even when you try to hide them. He’s got a sixth sense for when things start spiraling.

He never invalidates your feelings. If you tell him you feel abandoned or empty, he doesn’t argue—he just stays.

When you split on him, he doesn’t get angry. He gives you space if you need it, but he always comes back, reminding you that he’s not leaving.

Constant reassurance? Not a problem. He finds creative ways to remind you he’s still there—sticky notes, little texts, casual touches.

Physical touch is a huge thing with him. If you’re okay with it, he’ll pull you into a hug or drape himself over you like a weighted blanket.

He makes jokes to distract you but knows when to be serious. He’ll go from teasing you about fish to grounding you with steady words in seconds.

If you feel like you’re too much, he just scoffs and tells you to shut up because he’s already claimed you as his and that’s that.

On your worst days, he doesn’t push you to be okay. He lets you feel it, but he never lets you drown alone.

You’re his person, and he’s in for the long haul, no matter how messy things get.

[we-are-ashes]

i'd been thinking of making an atz fic rec list so this is as good a reason as any! I assume by govt pairs you mean seongjoong, yungi, woosan and jongsang? (have to say this narrowed it down a lot lol, i'm a rarepair truther)

I Like Me Better by so_real (matz, 34k)

this is vm the epitome of what you're asking for, i think. it's the fluff fic i go back to most often and you have all the tropes: roommates, longterm mutual pining, basically married without knowing it, co-owners of a coffee and flower shop, adopting a cat tgt. what more could you ask for?

We'll hold off the flood tonight by Ninetyeights (woosansang, 17k)

the narrative focus is on sansang's relationship but all three dynamics feature prominently. you've got in-verse wooyo wish fulfilment and loving family (some strong shit). it does delve explicitly into the polyam of it if that is/isn't your thing.

in bloom by lightup (woosansang, 20k)

the queerplatonic Feels (wooyoung loves his friends sm) and woosansang falling into a relationship tgt with all the cute antics you could ask for. same thing with polyam as the last one but less so.

all's divine in desire by thigh (woosanhwa, 12k)

woosan are little shits and hwa can't help but be fond aka real person true freaking story. there is a bit of a sense of unrequitedness but it's so undermined by how obvious everything is that there isn't any angst as such, i would say. also, hwa acts of service? much likelier than you think.

my heart is big enough for two by happyhwas (woosansang, 23k)

okay so, bear with me here - starts off with pretty strong conflict (the idea of opening up a monogamous relationship ya know?) as the summary can tell you but the tension is pretty much immediately downhill from there. the san romaticisms fully come into play and then there's woosansang soulmateism and overall cute stuff.

now these last two do violate your last requirement but i think they are sorta happy/cute in a more subliminal way, so i get it if you don't read them but i think they're worth checking out!

the law of inertia by astringnxt (yungi, 10k)

there's really intense yearning that is sort of poured over everything so even though there's no drama and angst specifically, it can feel more weighed down than the rest of the stuff in this list. but yeah yungi showing up for, and glued to, eo since childhood truthisms.

this red planet is for you by suheafoams (matz, 43k)

a little long ik but ultimately great. this one swings to and fro between fun and real and there are two major angst points one of which is just the double identity thing. amazing seongjoong trajectory though, although idk how one could have a non-amazing one.

i am more of an angst reader than a fluff one (and therefore tend to have a stronger stomach for that) so sorry if these don't all live up to the 'rainbows & sunshine' expectations but largely that shouldn't be the case. enjoy and definitely tell me what you think!

does anyone have a good rec of an ateez fic (only governmental pairs or gov pairs with another member turned into polytrio/polyquartet) that is totally positive and over 9k words but not more than 40k? fluff, crack, rainbows, sugar and sunshine kind of stuff. no angst or apathy or realism or trauma or drama

[caustinen]

writing buckybuck is the best thing ever because their soulmate level is so insane that every au just makes sense, no matter the circumstances you know those two find each other and love each other alive from any hardships 🙂‍↕️

[ivysos2001]

It’s still wild to me that agents of shield started doing time travel plotlines and handled it by coming up with the necessary set of time travel rules and mechanics to stick to and then having the characters explain it to us (and each other) in very simple/easy to understand terms to make sure we were all on the same page and could follow the plotlines they were setting up

And then a few years later the mainstream mcu decided to start doing time travel stuff and it was such a complete mess that (not only did the majority of fans and casual watchers alike leave the movie theater confused about/unable to follow endgame’s concepts/rules of time travel) but also the people who made the movie couldn’t even seem to figure out how it worked. Like seriously who else remembers all those interviews in the weeks after endgame was released where all the writers/directors/execs/etc were all doing interviews and taking turns trying to explain wtf happened in endgame (particularly in regards to Steve returning to the past/being Peggy’s og husband all along/making a new non-og timeline to marry her/I could keep going) and all of their explanations were completely different and contrasting each other wildly (which is absolutely ridiculous and seems kinda unprofessional for the team behind one of the biggest movies/franchises ever like cmon guys get it together)

Anyway shoutout to agents of shield for always being generally amazing and specifically for handling time travel *way* better than the mcu

actually so evil how much of hal's internal world gets obliterated with the rewriting of his relationships with jessica and martin.

[crazy-fangirl2524]

No you guys don’t understand. Neil was playing as a way to try to live and how he wants to try actually living instead of surviving. Winning against the ravens doesn’t matter to Neil, winning against his father does. But the books don’t end with Baltimore. It ends with the raven game. But this game means more to Kevin than it can ever to any other characters. All for the game. Neil can survive without exy. He can run away and start a new life. But kevin day does not have anything else. This entire series is for kevin day

I think it would be so funny if Duke Price, before he and the other warms up to duchess, finds out that his wife has been secretly getting money via trade and whatnot and being offended. Like, why not come to me, your husband, for money??

And she just straight up tells him that she doesn’t trust or like him or his lovers. After all, who would trust a cheater?? And he just, spirals? Like omg my wife doesn’t like me? My wife thinks I’m a bad person? But I’m not!! I give her money, I don’t make her have sex with me, I even let her pick her own dresses!! How could my wife not like me?? So now he’s trying his best to get Duchess to like him but she’s just, so done. Done with him, done with his affair partners, done with everything. Just let her have fun with her stocks and leave her alone

I genuinely think the moment dukedom 141 senses that Duchess doesn’t care about them, they suddenly want her to care about them, a real “I only like you when you don’t like me” thing

!!! I love this idea sm omggg thank you for this ask anon, I hope you enjoy!

Dukedom au masterlist

The fire crackled in the hearth of the study, casting shadows across the room. John stood behind his desk, his fingers gripping the edge as he stared down at the ledger in front of him. You sat across from him, your posture poised, your expression cool.

“This,” he said, his voice low, “isn’t just improper. It’s disrespectful. You’re my wife, Duchess. If you needed money, all you had to do was come to me.”

You tilted you head, the barest hint of a smile on you lips, though it lacked warmth. “Why would I do that?”

His brows furrowed, confusion flickering in his eyes the longer he stared and listened to you. “Because I’m your husband. It’s my duty to provide for you.”

You replying laughter was sharp, humorless. “Provide? Is that what you call this arrangement? You married me because you needed someone to handle your duchy while you gallivanted with your…” you hesitated, lips pursing as you considered your next word. “…partners. And you expect me to trust you? To come to you with my needs?”

John blinked, taken aback by the venom in your tone- a tone you’ve never aimed at him before. “I’ve done nothing to make you distrust me, Duchess-”

You scoffed. “Haven’t you? You think I don’t notice the whispered conversations, the way I’m barred from certain parts of the house, the way your men watch me like I’m a threat? You think I don’t know that I’m an outsider in what was supposed to be my own home?”

He opened his mouth to respond, but you weren’t finished.

“And it’s not just you,” you say, your voice rising. “Your butler, Kyle, your chef, Johnny, even your precious Duke Riley. They’re all loyal to you, John. Not to me. I don’t even need their loyalty, just some respect. Why would I put my trust in people who clearly see me as nothing more than an inconvenience?”

“They don’t think that.”

Your gaze bore into him, unflinching. He didn’t think you’d ever given him such a cold stare, and he didn’t like it. At all. “Don’t they? Tell me, John, when was the last time any of them looked at me as anything other than someone they have to put up with? When was the last time any of them looked at me as more than just an obligation? When was the last time you did?”

Silence hung heavy in the room, broken only by the distant ticking of the clock and the crackling embers in the hearth.

John’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. “I’ve treated you with nothing but respect,” he said, his voice tight. “I’ve never forced you to-”

“To share your bed?” You interrupted, your tone icy. “How magnanimous of you. Truly, I’m blessed to have such a kind and generous husband.”

Your sarcasm stung more than he cared to admit.

“I give you freedom,” he argued, grasping at any straws. Your words rang true, but John still found it hard to accept. “You’ve wanted for nothing since our marriage. You have everything you could possibly need.”

“Everything,” you repeated, your tone mocking. “Except trust. Except companionship. Except a reason to believe that any of this-“ you gestured vaguely at the room around them, at the duchy, at your marriage. “- is real.”

Your words hung in the air, cutting deeper than any blade.

Over the next few days, John found himself haunted by you words. You didn’t trust him. You didn’t trust any of them. And, worst of all, you didn’t like him.

At dinners, you were distant, answering questions with clipped politeness but offering very little else, conversations ending curtly. When you weren’t working on your secretive ledgers or taking solitary walks through the estate, you spent your evenings reading in your chambers, the door firmly shut against him and his men.

Kyle noticed the change immediately, of course, something squirming in his chest unhappily. “She’s colder than a January frost,” he sighed one evening, setting a decanter of brandy on John’s desk.

Price sighed right back at him. “Not exactly helping, Kyle.”

“I’m just saying, she’s got every reason to be,” Kyle continued, unbothered by John. “She’s a stranger in her own home. You can’t expect her to warm up to us when none of us have given her a reason to. We’ve mucked up.”

John scowled, downing a glass of brandy in one go. “She’s my wife. She should trust me.”

“Trust isn’t something you’re owed, John,” Kyle said, his voice softer now. “It’s something you earn and you and I both know none of us has given her any reason to earn it.”

Kyle was right, of course. But-

John’s attempts of mending the trust between the two of you were clumsy at best.

He tried joining you during your walks, only to be met with polite indifference.

“Shouldn’t you be with your men, Your Grace?” You asked one time, your tone as sharp as the winter air.

“They’ll manage without me.” he replied, though your pointed look made it clear you truly thought otherwise.

At dinner, he attempted conversations, asking about your day and your interests. You answered with politeness, but your gaze rarely lifted from your plate. Even Johnny’s attempts to brighten the atmosphere with your favorite dishes were met with little more than a murmured “thank you.”

Simon, ever observant, pulled him aside after one particularly stilted dinner where it got so awkward you didn’t finish your meal or had dessert before you left. “You’re trying too hard, John.” he said, his voice low. “You are just stifling her.”

“What am I supposed to do, Simon?” John snapped at last. “She doesn’t trust me. She doesn’t trust any of us.”

Simon’s expression didn’t waver. Ever since he’d learnt of that conversation you’d had with John, what you’d said and thought about them all, Simon has been thinking it over his mind again and again. “…Then stop treating her like a problem to solve. Start treating her like a person. We failed her once, can’t fail her a second time.”

And so, one evening, John found you in the study, the room dimly lit by the glow of a single lamp. You were hunched over a ledger, your brows furrowed in concentration.

“Duchess…” he breathed out. “Do you need help?” The question comes out tentative.

You glanced up, your expression unreadable beyond the tiredness he could see clinging to you. “I’m fine.”

Still, John lingered in the doorway, unsure of his next move. “I wanted to apologize,” he said at last, no longer beating around the bush. He was done.

Your quill stilled, and you looked up at him, your eyes wary.

“For what I said,” John continued anyways, stepping into the room. “And for how I’ve treated you. You were right. About everything.”

At last, your gaze softened, but you didn’t speak, letting him continue.

“I never wanted this to be such a… cold arrangement for you,” he said, voice faltering. “I didn’t realize how much I’d… neglected you. I am truly sorry, Duchess.”

“… what brought about this sudden realization?”

John hesitated, and then he sighed. “I… I want you to trust me. To trust us.”

You laugh was bitter and cutting, just as it had heen on that day. “Trust you? Trust the men who keep me at arm’s length, who whisper behind my back, who make it clear every day that I’m an outsider? Forgive me if I’m not so easily swayed, Your Grace.”

Your words struck him like a blow, but he held his ground. “Then let me prove it to you,” he said, his voice earnest. “Let me earn it, my Duchess.”

You studied him for a long moment before finally speaking. “… We’ll see.”

And for the first time, John felt a good flicker of hope.

[🫧] seungcheol

- thinks it’s cute. thinks you’re cute. feel like at the start he’ll think you’re insecure of your smile so he reassures you that your smile is beautiful because you are beautiful. but when he finds out later it’s a habit, he would slowly coax it away.

[🫧] woozi

[🫧] seungkwan

- he wants you to be confident in yourself. so he’s always there cheering you on. “you have a BEAUTIFUL smile” “you should smile more”. he’s there to defend you if someone judges you for the fact you keep covering your smile.
