BuckTommy Fan Work Recs

Fic Authors:

(obviously this isn't a comprehensive list, but a collection of fics I've read recently and really enjoyed)

all the vices i can't give up by @starryeyedjanai - this one is so fun and hot, I love sexting/identity porn fics so obviously I clicked right away. I also really enjoy this author's Buck pov; just funny, horny, zero impulse control Evan Buckly and his dick pics against the world.

one way trip to the sun by @newtkelly - this fic felt like a special treat crafted specifically for me. Zombies are my all time favourite movie monster and I'm a big George Romero junkie so finding a bucktommy/dawn of the dead mashup was like striking gold. I also just really loved this version of Tommy and also the narrative structure of the fic. Some really cool stuff done here.

You’ve Got Me Up in a Frenzy by @emphasisonthehomo - Trans!Tommy. Trans!Tommy with bottom surgery, how I love you so. This is so sweet and hot and nuanced and also fun. 10/10.

bright as the morning, soft as the rain. series by @milominderbindered - these were some of the first buck/tommy fics I read and I really loved this version of an alternate first meeting. Buck and Tommy's dynamic here is so cute and fun and flirty, I enjoyed reading Buck's slower realization here that, yes, this man in flirting with him, and oh boy is he into it. Also, there's just something about this version of tommy that really gets me, it's like I can see through the screen how much of an absolute catch he is.

1-800-DAYBREAK by @epiphainie - (ngl I love all your fics) but this one especially. I just really enjoyed seeing a younger Tommy and Buck here where their dynamic is flipped--Tommy being the one unsure of himself and Buck reassuring him that what he wants is okay-- it was also very hot and sweet. I'm a big sucker for phone sex operator fics, so this just reeled me right in instantly.

Goon by @alchemistc - I did not foresee my venture outside of hrpf to end up with me reading hrpf... This has everything I love about the genre and it's best tropes: hotel escapades, and locker room intimacy, and the hero worship to sexuality realization pipeline (...and Sidney Crosby haunting the narrative). Looking forward to seeing how it ends!

Paint Me in Neon and Make Me Glow by @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels - Fun, sexy, caring, D/s kink-discovery. I love how out of his mind horny Buck is for Tommy in this, and for being watched, and specifically getting watched WITH Tommy. I loved every section of this fic and how the author kept upping the stakes as they built towards the climax (ha) of the fic, which I wont spoil but you should definitely got find out for yourself.

take guesses on exits, one has to be right series by @queermccoy - The trucker!Tommy / lot lizard!Buck AU I didn't know I needed but am now eagerly awaiting the next instalment of. This was surprisingly cute and as well as scorchingly hot.

bottom tommy pleasures series by winterbucky (WinterLadyy) (if anyone knows their tumblr @ i'll tag them) - Just what it says on the tin! Bottom!Tommy I love you 😌

Artists:

@kinardsboy - Their art is always so fun and cute! I love all the buck/tommy memes they make.

@blue-arts-stuff - Their art is both sweet and also manages to hit me in the feels every time.

@lazybakerart - All of their art is beautiful, but I especially love what they've done for the @kinley-cafe!

(And of course Kinley Cafe itself for doing an amazing job spreading positivity and engagement within the fandom.)

Gif Makers/Editors:

@lengthofropes - their gifs are all so gorgeous, I don't understand how they manage half the stuff they do, but I love staring at it an inch away from my face like brightly coloured visual candy.

@sunglassesmish - my Tommy Kinard / LFJ gif dealer and has provided me with enough images of the man to construct a 3D model in my mind to rotate while painting.

@xofemeraldstars - I always look forward to their daily kinley posts! My obsession is being enabled and i'm okay with that.

Neuvillette x Reader: 31. “Everyone wanted to give up on me, except you.”

Another bonus drabble that was not on the original list. @vizell was so disappointed by the lack of Neuvilette, so here you go. Oh and it's a merman AU. 😌

For months you had been returning to that same shore you met him for the first time— when you couldn't believe your eyes when you saw a half man, half fish sitting on a small rock in the light rain. 

It might have been the saddest sight in your life, but also the most beautiful. He noticed you, his long white hair flowing unnaturally behind his back like it wasn’t affected by rain, his lips parted in surprise like he had never seen anyone like you before.

He was wary of you; most explorers coming to these same shores often had bad intentions, but you were hunting a legend: the sunken city of Fontaine. Gold and riches didn’t bring you upon those shores, but a mystery that needed to be solved.

Just a day before you were supposed to return home empty handed had you stumbled upon him. Unfortunately there was no way for you to get funding without capturing the silvery haired merman, but every inch in your body screamed against such thought. You talked to him that day, learning that you didn't even want to share about his existence to the rest of the world; no funding would be worth his suffering.

After months of coming and going, you returned one last time. Neuvillette was already waiting for you, sitting in the shallow waters, ready to help you below sea level as you possibly couldn't enjoy the dive without any equipment and without any funding you couldn't afford the said diving equipment.

“It is good to see you again,” he murmured softly, sending butterflies flying inside of you with that sad smile of his, “I trust your fellow humans didn't give you this… funding.”

You plop down to your knees in front of him, cold waves of sea water rising to tickle your legs. Even when you didn't have any money to actually research the sunken Fontaine, you would give up everything as you were completely enamored by him. Neuvilette had been distrusting in the beginning, but slowly he had begun trusting you and eventually he dreaded being away from you.

“I'm happy that you're actually waiting for me here every time.” You told him shyly, averting your eyes off his bare upper body. He sometimes wore kelps or seaweed— said they were given by the Melusines he often visited when he had the time.

“Why wouldn't I wait?” He asked, taking your hand into his, while he sat in the shallow tide in front of you, “you have brought sun into my rain.”

Neuvillette was always so honest and that made your heart race wildly, “Neuvillette— everyone wanted to give up on me, except you.” Your words left you breathless. He always believed in you.

He softly tugged your hand and you gave in, slowly drifting deeper and deeper into the water but he never let go, even when some survival instinct of yours screamed as the cold water embraced you and how the loss of sand beneath your feet became real.

“Are you ready?” He asked politely like he did every time. You had been to the sunken city of Fontaine so many times, yet something always kept you on your toes. You felt his scaly lower body brushing against yours, his arms wrapping around your waist to keep you still.

“Take me home,” you whispered shakily, avoiding water ending up in your lungs. It was a decision you made a while ago; you had no reason to stay above the sea. And so, he took you underwater, diving swiftly to your new home, holding you tight and afraid of letting go as the dark sea would devour you without him.

🪰

🪰 Recommend a fic that makes you sad (in the best way!!)! Some great angst and/or hurt/comfort!

OKAY so

Since hurt/comfort is what I consume daily I simply couldn't choose one fic for this lil bug. So I chose 4. Or. Technically 5. Just for you babes 😘 (mind you my oof meter may differ from other's oof meter. I am but a smol creature and can only take so much pain in my soup. Be advised.)

SYNCHRONICITY by orpheusaki ( @damianbugs). We're starting with the fic with the least amount of anguish, but one that still packs a punch. Nightwing and Dick!Robin swapping places. Angsty Dick & Bruce stuff happens in both the past and future, and y'all, it is INCREDIBLE. This author is just. Gah. Everything they do is pure gold, and this fic is no exception. Very much made me tear up and my heart hurt a lot, but I was def smiling by the end of it. This will hurt you but at least put a lil bandage over the bruise :)

Sprinklers by SunnyBlue. Tim & Damian feels bc OF COURSE. Tim is gravely injured and begs Damian to leave him. Damian refuses bc he secretly cares about his big bro. You know, the ush 😌💅 Yet another fic that left me with a lil bandaid over my bruise by the end of it, but man, this bruise was nasteeee. On a more serious note, this was one of the first Batfam fics I ever read, and made me realize the sheer talent that exists in this fandom. A fantastic read.

Identity by Miles_2_Go ( @miles2g0). OUGHHH. The greatest fic to ever fic. Lazarus Pit!Tim and Good Bro!Jason = AHJDKSHJDK. So much hurt/comfort. Love love love. This also offers a bandaid (from what I remember) but the hurt lingers dude. It lingersssss. Excellent writing, wonderful prose, INCREDIBLE characterizations, SUPERB angst....just GAH. I love it so much.

As for the last one...this is where we arrive in Oofville. Population? Whoever dare read this fic (this one might be familiar to you cue ashdjshdjk)

bile is sweeter by cuephrase ( @cuephrase). I read this a few weeks ago and y'all. I am still not okay. Shorter than the other recs but FUCK. The pain. THE PAIN. The Tim & Dick dynamic, the internal dialogue, Dick's fear and desperation, the ENDING- Ough. OUGH. And if you liked this one, Cue has just finished a sequel; Penance. Why did they write this, you ask? TO EMOTIONALLY MAIM THEIR FRIENDS THAT'S WHY. I've only read the first chapter but man. I already know I'm In Danger(TM) 🥲

Thank you for the ask!🌻💞

Send me a bug and I'll give you a fic rec!

[screampied]

ola 😌 (pretending i didn’t just disappear…)

i’ve been very tired of tumblr lately, idk why. but i missed our little chats, i was just getting the energy to answer back.

toji is the king of being dirty, and in a sexual way of course. dirty talking, messy eating out, biiiiiig ass cock that you can’t do quickies with because miss girl needs to get prepared all the times. he is like the peak of being king of the slut men! right by his side we have…oh look, every other jjk male, except nanami (he is hidden in the back of the line, messy eater as well).

what’s your favorite tea, for our little tea encounters? i��ll always go for peach ice tea, mhmmmmm, mouth is salivating already.

i usually prefe short nails, because my hands are very small and a bit chubby so long makes it weird, but lately they are big as fuck and i’m loving the routine of taking care of them. people keep complementing it, always thinking is gel tips or i did on a saloon, and i’m like 😙😙😙😙

anklets are everything, i used to be obsessed with them and toe rings until i realized a perv might see me at the street and have the best day of his life with his feet kink. my favorite nowadays are earrings and necklace, i eat my lil combos every time.

question for today is do you usually have weird nightmares/dreams? today i had a dream i had a pet snake that was extremely big and i cried and begged my parents to remove her from the house, but they were like “it’s fine” and then her baby (that was a bald kitten) died so she got fucking mad at me, and she would just get even bigger whenever i was near. woke up drenched in sweat 😥

so, yeah, missed ya. can’t wait for october 01!

nut anon.

NUTTTYYYYYY

hi bae no worries i get it i feel the same way sometimes 💔💔. but i missed u n i’m glad ur back xx

ur so right 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️. he’s got such a nasty fuckin mouth. UGHHHH writing his dirty talk is my favorite. and i also loveee to hc toji and suguru are the best top pussy eaters in jjk #CANON yeppp, he’s got the fattest cock. he’s def the type to be like “condoms never fit me anyway” he’s so annoying. NANAMI IS DEFINITELY A MESSY EATER IHMMYMYGOD i feel like he’s a sweet respective eater but also kinda filthy …. especially when he gets pussy drunk once his jaw locks …

i don’t rly drink tea ahah unless i’m sick 🙇‍♂️. but hmm i guess black / oolong tea? peace ice tea ooooh what does it taste like ? sounds peachy heh

i find anklets so sexy, fuck 🧎‍♂️. LMFAOOO UR RIGHT AB THE TOE RINGS. i’ve never wore toe rings before, but i love love anklets, i have a whole collection. the gold ones are my favorite bc it makes me feel like a princess 🧘‍♀️. saaaame, but im getting more into bracelets nowadays. i love the little sounds it makes whenever im like walking or jogging while im out. idk its soothing to me

i can never rly remember my dreams 🦭. but they’re usually always super weird shit that makes me wake up like ????? i miss shifting tho, i need to shift again soon aughhh. i remember having a dream about dying but then i woke up and i was like “oh great, another day” LMAO. your pet snake in your dream had a bald kitten ? that’s . . . interesting 🥷🥷.

BUT I MISSEDYOU TOOOOOO. and i have one question for you too—on october first, are you gonna like no be on anon anymore ? or are we gonna send asks on main. or we can be moots !!! i’m fine with either or 🤗

Sorry that I did not report after my posts about the group therapy. 💚

The last days were pretty shitty but now a little update, if you're interested:

The appointment was okay, we just discussed what we are going to do and learn and talked about the topics, so just a little introduction. We were actually only three people, two more wanted to come but didn’t do it. But one of the people came later to talk to the leader, I haven’t seen the person yet. Probably they will participate this Friday. At least that’s what they said, and I don’t have any information about the 5th person.

The two who were there with me were okay. I think with the one participant I could talk more but the first impression of both was that they are nice. So my biggest panic was lessened. Until I learned that on Friday probably the 4th person will come, that means again anxiety, but I try to hope the best.

While I was waiting for it to start I met the therapy dog there and oh my, he’s so freaking cute.

Jokes on me. I knew that we would not work with the dog, but when it started I learned that we still have therapy pets. So I waved goodbye to the super cute dog and said hello to our therapy snails.

No, it’s not a joke, we have snails. 🐌 African land snails. (I hope the name is correct.)

And at first I was like "are you kidding me?" But somehow it’s really amazing. I’ve never heard anyone have therapy snails. xD And they're so freaking big. It's fascinating. And no joke, they're so loud when they eat. xD

And most important thing, the therapists is great. She's so kind and understanding and funny. It’s not a strict therapy atmosphere, she makes you feel a little more relaxed. That's gold.

I was afraid that I would cancel immediately after the first hour but fortunately this will not be the case. I am still scared as hell but it was much better than expected. 1 for me, zero for anxiety. Heh.

We got "homework" that I haven’t done yet, surprise, but we should also get a notebook. But my notebook loving ass had already bought one. 😌

I think that was the most important thing so far.

Thank you so much for all your comments and messages. As always, it really meant everything to me and I felt a little more secure. Thank you for taking the time to send so much kindness. It felt very good to see all your nice words. 💚

And I hope this little update was a bit interesting or something.

Hope you have a great day/evening/night. Take care of yourself and stay healthy and safe! 💚

Just A Few RCD HCs

Summary: These are Just some general headcanons I thought up for Jeweler!Wanda and Metalworker!Reader. Check out where it started by reading Rough Cut Diamonds

[Everything else in the RCD Universe]

Pairing: Jeweler!Wanda Maximoff x Metalworker!Reader

Warning(s): There's mention of sexy times so 18+ aka MINORS DNI, other than that none that I can think of, bud.

Note(s): Umm...I reread RCD and just thought of a few thingy things, some wholesome and not so holesome thots. I hope you enjoy :3

Word Count: somewhere close to 600 maybe bc headcanons (I just didn't check after it went past 500 m' sorry)

*squints* I give NO ONE permission to repost or translate my work. Make your own shit

Wanda makes time to come by often enough that your coworkers know just to send her back to your area

"Skitch! Your lady's here-" "Again!"

They're respectful dw

Lifting up your welding helmet just to see Wanda simply watching you work has been something you've become used to every Friday

Making Wanda your own little rings for her to wear

because obviously.

making lil dainty ones that can stack on top of each other and even a few full-finger rings

You yourself didn't wear a lot of jewelry, maybe a few rings and a chain

Despite that, Wanda definitely makes pieces specifically for you.

somethin like the waves ring with pietersite from Clocks and Colors or the starry night bracelet from Etah Love, that kinda vibe

it's giving silver>>>gold

You'd show Wanda how to do an efficient stick weld.

she'd definitely quick to catch on with her own experience, she really took to TIG welding as well

The glasses she usually wears don't protect enough for what you do, so you have to lend her your helmet.

You have to hold it in place from behind because it's too big on her head 🤭

Y'all for sure have more sex in the shop. 100%

Like I'm about to sound like ya'll are constantly fucking at your job and you're not~ 🙄

I can guarantee you both aren't doing the deed in respectable public more than you do in private

I'm just hyperfocusing for a sec, get off me-

I dunno why you guys don't try it at her workplace more, but somethin about the vibe of your shop specifically gets Wanda ready to jump your bones.

Like to Wanda, her place? Great. Your place? Also great. The maker's Damned??? UGHH 😩

Your back office is the prime spot no doubt-

Logan: 😑😮‍💨

Your Coworkers: 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Your Workbench: 👀

jkjk you both aren't nearly that egregious about it, but they do tease you about it when they notice something happened in the back.

"Skitch, that's what your workspace at home is for-" "You are the literally the last person who needs to rag on me about workplace ettiquette, Remy..."

Also, something about the indents Wanda's rings leave around you neck and biceps from her grip are just-aghhh 😵‍💫

And it's too warm to be wearin' your shacket all the time so just proudly showing off all the marks Wanda leaves on you 😌

There were a few times where you were left to lock up the shop while Logan was out, and you and Wanda fucked at your main workstation...

Eh, the shop's got blinds and curtains to cover the windows-

Even then, it was only a few times

Wanda's already said she want's to be nowhere near the band saw, so...

Back to the wholesome bits-

You would actually weld a sandwich unironically.

AKA ruin a TIG welding torch trying to make a "welded cheese sandwich"

You may be a trained professional, but your survival instincts seem to be wayy down sometimes...

Hey, curiosity is the mother of invention and all that *shrugs*

Wanda won't actively participate in your shenanigans usually, but she will watch to make sure you don't hurt yourself.

You've made plenty of small metal sculpture pieces that Wanda has displayed around her place.

Looking at them and paying attention to the little details she remembers watching you put into them actually helps Wanda maintain the drive that she's kept throughout her career.

Wanda, as ambitious as she is, does have moments where she holds back some of her vision with designs that she's scrapped or held off perpetually in favor of making something reliable instead of something too "unexpected" for her to come out with.

She definitely gets in her own head about it a lot, but with a new set of eyes, your eyes on them, you encourage her to pursue them. You help not only broaden but brighten her horizons.

REAL DELULU YELLIN OUT MY MAAAANS 😜🤪😝

Why are people so mad about the reading I did for Mark's ideal type?:

Oh lord 🙄 so it seems people had expectations for the reading and thought it was going to be what they thought it would to be (or even wanted) vs thinking from Mark's perspective. They are in denial of the fact that Mark could be sexually attracted to such women and are babying him??? They don't want to acknowledge the fact Mark could actually have an active dating life. The way they view him is like a child, they can't fathom the thought of Mark having sex or being with an "alluring" type of woman. It's as if they want him to be with the type of girl they think he should be dating (what are they his mother? The entitlement! I just have to laugh 🤭). Some people could even be disappointed that they don't fit his ideal type 💀. They're just choosing to fight with me *sarcastic baby voice* because they think they know their precious Markie so well 🥺! Sigh 🤧😪 Instead of going by the saying "take what resonates and leave what doesn't" they're lashing out due to having poor self esteem.

Is it multiple people or just one person that keeps sending me anons to my inbox?:

Ew 😂! It's literally just only two of the same people who can't get over it. Embarrassing. I have a feeling these two might know each other or are possibly mutuals. If not, they both share in common that Mark is their bias and they are upset and shocked to hear about his love life. They wish it could be them. How boring 😴🥱 One thinks they are tough shit but is actually scary as hell because they can only talk shit on anon 😂. The other one seems to be in their feelings. Upset about the reading perhaps? Or what I said as a response? Can't please everyone I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

What does Mark's future spouse have to say?:

Channeled song is Twinnem by Coi Leray.

"That's my twinnem, go, best friend

We killin' 'em (Yeah)

No new friends

Get rid of them"

At the end of the day Mark's future spouse is here to stay and they do not give a fuck about how people feel about it. "OH MY GOD🤬! I am never leaving! I am never leaving, I'm in this shit forever! 😃🤞"

They are someone who is very beautiful, confident, and wealthy on their own. They could possibly be popular or famous themselves. The style and beauty of the girls in the cards is a loooot similar to what was stated in the ideal type reading 😂... but let me not trigger the masses again 😮‍💨.

Channeled message for the collective:

"Don't meet your heroes if you aren't going to accept what you see. Once people show you who they are, believe them." Phew and ain't that the truth! Let em know spirit guides 🙌🏽🙏🏽! People want to idolize and be infatuated with a projected image of a mask people in the media have to put on every single day. They would have to face the truth that they don't actually know the celebrities they love and adore, so that scares them. The reason it's so scary to them is because they'd have to be honest with themselves about what behavior they exhibited in defense of their precious idols. You guys are putting absolute strangers onto a pedestal. Everything that glitters ain't gold. These celebrities are humans just like you. Do better.

Should I piss people off even more by giving the baddies what they want for fs/ideal type readings 😝?:

The cards have spoken... It's a yes bitches 🥳🎉! Can't argue with the universe about what's my calling 😌😘☺️. By providing such readings to my followers I am making a larger scale of people happy and I am allowing them to have fun! Some of the viewers are enjoying the possibility of it maybe being them (and there ain't nothing wrong with being a little bit delulu, as long as its in a healthy manner 😌🥰 keep it cute, don't be acting crazy and obsessive now lol). I could be even awakening some of my followers higher consciousness or helping them with the ability to manifest their desire. Overall, there is a sense of community happening for myself and my followers 💖, we will be able to celebrate about it soon!

[hardlypartying]

I’m going to need to revisit the conversation saying that krcg is the golden child, bc now we have a release day for all of the last chapters??

Ma’am, what about silver spoons. We are a cult, and we need answers. We need silver spoons to breathe.

By any chance are we getting a release day for poor emo child silver spoons 😭

And while I love krcg, silver spoons is a cult, and it has its own fandom inside of Riara.

Anyway, *goes hide in the corner*

(I’m joking. I know real life is hard and you can not just write and write. FF is a hobby. And I’m really greatful you’re sharing your stories as it is) 💘

Trust me that conversation is always on my mind, I'll never forget you calling me Ward 🙄 let the punishment fit the crime 😌

Silver Spoons is coming sooner than you think— I need to rejig some of the conversations because I’m not sure what I want to reveal when and by whom. KRCG is easier to write in that regard, silver spoons is such a labor of love and a game of chess haha, and I’m so happy you’re sending me messages and support for that!! Silver Spoons is the hardest thing I've ever written and I'm beyond proud of it but I often need some time to make sure I’m putting the utmost care and thought into it to ensure it hits as hard for you as it does in my mind lol. I could talk about this story forever but it would be such a boreeee, so I just yap away to myself as I move around plot points and have epiphanies that tie up loose ends I tell myself "I'll let to later". Overall, it's chaos in my mind and I really don't have a barometer of how my work translates to people so having you love it this much is such an unbelievable feeling and I'm so so so grateful <3 <3

I’m giggling at you calling silver spoons a cult, with great power comes great responsibility— trust me that this chapter is going to be a treat for y’all fiending for a chapter but I guesssss I can be nice today and throw you a bone ;)

Here’s a sneak peek:

“Here,” Rafe says, only a breath louder than the voices coming through the speakers. He hands her a small leather box, bigger than her palm but not by much. “You pull some shit like you did in Singapore again and—” She opens it to reveal a delicate necklace. She holds it between her fingers, a thin gold chain with a small circular hollowed-out pendant in the middle. “It’s your funeral.” Rafe finishes as Kiara inspects the necklace, even in the deepening night she can still see the glint of the stones on the pendant. “A necklace?” “A tracker.” His fingers reach for the pendant and run across the little diamonds encrusted on it, “Asked Atlas to make it before everything. In hindsight, I realize I made the right call.” “You want to track me.” Kiara states dryly. As if her freedom hadn’t been violated enough by Rafe. “You got lucky last time,” Rafe continues to admire the necklace, finally pulling back and looking at her. “I can’t say it’ll be the same next time.” Kiara grits her teeth, “I’m not going to run.” He doesn’t believe her and just shrugs, “That’s your prerogative. Wear the necklace or don’t, I’m not gonna force you.”

Chapter 11 will be out on Tuesday the 22nd but you have to promise me to savor it because I have not written a lick of Chapter 12 yet! But I think you'll have enough to sink your teeth whilst I write Chapter 12 :)

Just You, Me, and the Car

Billy/Steve | Mature | 1.2k words

I'd be a sinner if I didn't kick this off with Harringrove, so please enjoy them loving and being loved in the back of the Camaro. The first half-ish was a WIP from October that I finished up today for this lovely game of bingo. I think it's a good start to the event 😌 Nice middle ground for what I've got in mind, so keep an eye out for future bingo posts if you enjoy this one! 💖

Made for @billyhargrovebingo!

Read on AO3

A quiet Billy Squier tape set the backdrop for the sound of their lips and shaky breaths moving in unison, gripping of leather car seats, jingling keys in the ignition. Steve’s hands ran through Billy Hargrove's hair, and they both smiled in their never-ending kiss. Steve liked being held by the waist, tarrying fingers and thumbs hooked into his belt loops. Billy always made him feel like a king sat atop the throne that was his lap, straddled legs and rolling hips that kept the rhythm going. Blond curls pulled taut. “Someone’s eager,” Billy said, teasing, passing their shared bubble gum back to his lover again, and Steve chuckled.

“I just”—kiss—“missed you. I want you so bad.”

“I know, baby, I missed you too.” Billy’s kisses trailed from Steve’s lips across his cheek and to his ear. “So much.” Tongue wrapping around the lobe, he sucked it in just enough for Steve to whine, raise and drop himself back onto Billy’s lap with desperate force. He snaked his arms around Billy’s neck and pulled him closer, face behind his ear to breathe in his hair and cologne and everything he’d been deprived of while Billy was away.

“You smell so good,” Steve said, muffled into soft denim. Strong hands moved from his waist all the way up his back, massaging through his navy polo in big circles, then back down to slip underneath and send a comfortable shiver all over his skin. “You can take it off.” Sitting back straight, he took Billy’s wrists and guided them around to his sides, then let Billy take the lead and followed his hands until the polo was up and over his head. Steve’s moles were hard to see in the dark, but Billy knew just where they were and kissed them like points on a map to his heart. More goosebumps, gentle back scratching, and Billy’s hands were on Steve's hips again.

Neither were oblivious to their constrained erections, but neither made an effort to set them free. Billy liked pressing into Steve’s with his own, teasing him through double layers of blue jeans and briefs. Just a taste, that was all he gave, and he had Steve grinding for more. “You’re cute when you’re turned on, Steve, you know that?”

“Yeah.” They laughed, and Billy kissed him again, tickling his sides and rendering him absolutely breathless. “Do you know how sexy you are when you turn me on?”

Against Steve’s lips, “I don’t know, I might need you to give me a hint.” Bubblegum transferred once again, Billy stretched it between his teeth while Steve dipped his head under Billy’s chin. Now it was Steve’s turn to make him shiver by sucking hard on his collarbone and circling the spot with his tongue before moving on to the next. Billy craned his head back and gave Steve more room to fill in what he could with thin gold chains and a red shirt collar in the way.

“One of these days, I'm gonna turn you this color,” Steve told him.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t hurt yourself.”

“Shut up.”

So Billy said, “Make me.”

And Steve said, “Yeah, I might.”

He climbed off of Billy’s lap despite protesting fingers that grabbed at him with the might of a clingy cat; so clingy that Billy followed Steve over the mid panel, between his legs when he fell onto the seat, down to kneel on the floor and see a glorious view. He nuzzled his head against Steve’s inner thigh, then his belly, leaving kisses everywhere and holding him close.

“Jesus, Billy, I missed you,” Steve said again, grabbing Billy’s chin and leaning over to kiss him once more. He couldn’t resist no matter how hard he tried, even though Billy liked when he played it dirty and made him work for gentle pleasures. But it had been so long without the comfort of each other’s lips and hands and bodies and everything; they had weeks to make up for.

Billy hummed into Steve’s mouth, let a fist knead against his crotch and said, “Please don’t make me beg, baby," though that was a plea in itself. There was no helping it.

"Just a little?" Steve's eyes teetered on the moonlit outline of Billy's lips and nose; the dip between, a perfect spot to rest his thumb and coax Billy's tongue around it. His eyes were almost grey, but diamond shone through just enough for Steve to dive to the bottom as they looked right up at him, wide and wanting. "Please, Billy?"

He just growled and dug his nose harder into Steve's crotch, losing the thumb in favor of a brass buckle and old leather belt in the way. "Christ, I can't taste you over the damn phone." Teeth bared and snagged on raised denim. "You should be begging me, Steve. What if I change my mind?"

"You won't."

Billy looked back up, more relaxed under Steve's gentle caress than he'd been in his life, let alone for the month without that palm on his cheek. "I know," he said, euphoric, grinning wide and giving up the air in his lungs again. He shuddered as Steve combed through his hair, fingers tangling in loose curls that hadn't been washed in a couple days.

"You're on your knees anyway," Steve told him.

"Oh, no, I fell for it again..." He pressed against Steve's belt, fingers curled under the hem of his jeans. "What-ever will I do?"

By then, Steve was losing the act, faltering away from any essence of control he had over himself and this routine that changed every time it happened. Now it was back in Billy's hands, the anticipation and yearning pull of Steve's mind and his body as they gravitated to the center between them again. Not a kiss yet, but the ghost of one jumping from Billy to Steve; Hawkins to San Diego and back again.

Steve whispered: “Eat me.”

Only the moon, the stars, large oaks and pines, the lake's reflection, and Fall For Love laid witness to their tender night. Billy held Steve between his cheeks and over his tongue, in his throat until he needed air, and even then he wasn't sure he needed much at all. Not when Steve's heart beat with him, for him, and their pulses charged each other's motions, languid and abrupt, separately or at the same time.

Billy swallowed him whole and took his time, so desperate to make up for his physical absence that he'd long forgotten himself. Loving Steve was enough to satisfy his every whim and desire; hushed breaths and moans that crescendoed until the windows fogged, knuckles grazing his scalp, whispers right above him that sounded so close and so far away.

Once Steve was tapping his shoulder and shaking like a leaf in the wind, Billy let up and wrapped around Steve's body; kissed up his belly and chest and neck, his cheeks, his lips, and that's where they settled. Both struggled to open their eyes and keep looking at each other, seeing each other because touch was only one of their five senses. Billy smelled like Billy, and Steve tasted like Steve, and they felt like they were home again.

Billy laughed when Steve pulled away to zip himself back up. "What?"

"You match my shirt."

Steve huffed and said, "Shut up," with a light kick to Billy's shin.

"Mm..." Leaning in for another kiss, "It's your turn."

The only thing i could possibly think of was this: gojo and Geto making mc copy Dio when they learned her technique. They promised to steal bring her an old book from the restricted section of the school's library if she did. So you have a bribed mc jojo posing, souting ZA WARUDO at the top of her lungs while activating her technique and freezing the shamans in the courtyard. Gakuganji was there. Suguru filmed it for Gojo since the latter was too busy laughing his ass off. Shoko was disappointed. Good ol' days i'm telling ya.

Yaga has been pranked more than once. (He still doesn't know that mc's been stopping the growth of his beard ever since her highscool days after loosing a bet. She forgot about it. Gojo didn't.)

Aaaaaaa don't stop making me simp for Getwo, he's gonna plague my mind for the days to come T^T (one more reason for this arc to finish besides the pain finally ending: you blessing us with high quality writing on this smooth impostor. I can't wait! ^^)

but like... imagine if geto, still screaming in the back of his mind, is unable to prevent him from kissing mc. iMaGine. Him tilting her chin oh so gently, just like he did the first time. Something isn't quite right. But his lips are warm, so warm, and she could very well lose herself in this. This time, she closes her eyes. He chuckles in the kiss. A time manipulator and Gojo's most precious one trapped in his scheme? Hell yeah.

(Ripverse is golden i am telling you 😂 makes my mind go wild every single time you post something related to it! Do tell if me ranting over how much i love your content gets on your nerves though! Have a lovely night / day!)

asks never get on my nerves omg i’m just happy you enjoy ripverse!!! spam away my inbox is always open 😁

As a diehard jojo fan I wholeheartedly approve this message LMAOOO I can’t believe I forgot about The World!!! That’s like the number one stopping time power ❗️❗️

Geto and gojo would bribe her books omg. That’s like the only thing that works too because she wouldn’t want to break the rules for anything else. She’s embarrassed like hell afterwards (and gets chewed out by yaga along with stsg), but at least she can find comfort in shoko and the book!! Gojo holds the video over her head even today, and Shoko doesn’t tell rip!mc that she also has a copy of it.

Also I love the idea of rip!mc freezing things and forgetting about it!!! She’d freeze food left and right and thank god for it because otherwise it’d be rotting bc of how often she forgets about it. poor yaga’s beard. gojo making bets with rip!mc and her losing every single time. giving gojo control over her cursed technique does not bode well for anyone 😭

This makes me want to write more happy school day fics omg

and as for getwo...dont….don’t tempt me…..

If the shibuya arc ends with geto coming back let me tell you i WILL go feral and my inner geto whore is going to scream!!!

He just looks so good in those robes

[chibi-tsukiko]

I know I just sent you an ask last night but I physically can't control myself asdfdsfhhjkkkk sorry 🙈😅❤️

I wanted to ask, do you have any head canon about what would happen if Rishida and Malec were to spend a day with each other 😁🤭🤭 I really wanna hear your thoughts ^^^

Hi buttercup! 😘

You never have to apologize for sending me an ask! Send me as many as you want, I love them!

Also Malec AND RISHIDA MEETING AND SPENDING A DAY TOGETHER OMMMMMGGGGGGGG OK OK, WE GOTTA LIKE DO THIS IN PARTS LIKE BY CHARACTER OK SO

First: Alec and Ryuji

I feel like Alec and Ryuji would connect on a lot of levels. Since they both had to hide who they were/loved and were very angry for a long time.

So I think they would definitely sympathize with each other on that front.

I think they would spend a lot of time, talking about archery, and defending their dark wardrobe colors.

Oh and they would definitely agree that Takashi and Jace can never meet because their chaotic energy is too strong and it would be an absolute madhouse with both of them in the same room. 🤣

Next: Magnus and Ishida

Can we say, bonding over traumatic childhood????? Cuz yeah, that’s definitely happening. 😂😅

I could also see them working on potions together, trading spell books, accessories, and gushing over their hot grumpy boyfriends (husband for magnus). Magnus also likes to brag about all of Alec’s accomplishments so I could see Ishida bragging about Ryuji’s skills in competition.

They’re definitely going to brainstorm new pet names too!

Magnus may even give red eyeliner a try after seeing Ishida with it.

I also think Magnus could bestow a lot of wisdom to Ishida and kind of comfort him for the torment he feels towards himself. How he doesn’t feel like he has a place in this world, I think Magnus would have some heartfelt words for my bebe. 🥺😌

Now: Magnus & Ryuji

I think the second Magnus would see how flustered Ryuji gets when someone flirts or makes sexual innuendos with him it’d be game over. 😆 I can see Magnus introducing Ryuji to the same things he introduced Alec to. But honestly, I think for the most part, these two would spend time sitting together and just making heart eyes at their partners.

and then: Alec and Ishida

I think Alec would see a lot of Magnus in Ishida. And I think he would commend Ishida for always choosing kindness just as Magnus has.

I also think they would talk about their lost siblings. Ishida would talk about Sora and how he feels responsible and Alec would share stories of Max and how he still struggles with the guilt of what happened to him. I think it would be a very cathartic conversation for both of them. 😌 And I think Alec would tell Ishida about the family he’s found in Jace, Clary, and even Simon and how Ishida has that with Myya, Takashi, and Hein.

I think Ishida would be immensely impressed with everything that Alec has accomplished. I think he would commend our brave Consul for his compassion and desire to change the world so that everyone belongs. I think it would remind him of Takashi and when Alec says that he couldn’t have done anything without Magnus or his friends, I think Ishida would feel a sense of pride.

Final thoughts:

I think both pairs would have warm advice to give the others. Alec would tell Ryuji that he’s allowed to be happy. That he deserves happiness and to let himself have it.

Ryuji and Alec would also take turns scolding Ishida and Magnus for being so quick to sacrifice themselves for others.

And I also think at some point, Ryuji, Alec and Magnus would make a comment about Ishida’s height. (cuz Magnus is 6’2, Alec is 6’1, Ryuji is 6’3, and Ishida is 5’10) he’d be the shortest one there 😆😆😆😆 my sweet babe

All in all, I think they’d have a wonderful time together. And after all the deep talk, Malec would introduce them to Max and Rafe. And I think the boys would absolutely adore Rishida. Max would point out how Ishida has gold eyes like Bapa and Rafe would ask Ryuji how he’s with such a cool guy 😂😂😂😂

But yeah, I think they’d have a great time together. 🥰 Thank you for this ask! This was so fun! 💕💕💕

I’m gunna tag the other W&D peeps just in case @littleturtle95 @khaleesiofalicante @radisv @my-archerboy @magnus-the-maqnificent @elettralightwood @clumsyowl-in-a-fandom @sassybookworm2020

[khaleesiofalicante]

"You didn’t say goodbye. And a part of me believes that means you are coming back" - Unknown

Malec getting back together and talking and being mature is soooo damn beautiful!!! I can't believe its been three years!!!

Magnus impulse purchashing an apartment is a mood kdjdkdjdkd

My Lightwood and Herondale babes are so in love with them💙💙💙

God, all this malec fluff made me sooooo happy!! I love them!!! <3333

Communication is so fucking sexy!!!

"Tell them you’re mine.” ✨SCREAMING✨

“I…I’ve never had one before,” Magnus says quietly. “An apartment?” “A home.” I'M GOING TO CRY BYE

He wants to learn how to be alone with his thoughts. For me those fuckers keep me company 24/7 kdhdkdk

I'm so proud of him🥺

Magnus looks down at himself. He smiles. “How do I look?” “You look like the rest of my life,” Alec replies. PLEASE JDHDKFBFLFJ

HE GOT HIM CHAIRMAIN MEOW😭😭😭 THAT SCENE>>>

I love this gang!! They are all just so chaotic, Simon being all stressed about the play, Alec being jealous of Magnus, Jace being ready to take anyone down, Izzy being the queen she is😎 I'M LOVE THEM!!

“The downside of being famous. People look at me too much,” Magnus interrupts. “But guess who I’m looking at?” 🥺💙💙💙💙

“Jesus Christ,” Izzy swears. “Precisely,” Jace nods. KDHSIBDODKD OMG

ITS MAX!! AND THE WAY HE CALMS DOWN WHEN ALEC HOLDS HIM😭😭😭 I AM EMOTIONS OK?!?!

Maia and Lily are kinda right. Its everything Alec and Magnus represent, and how much they can be an inspiration

God, Max is so fucking intelligent!!! And the subliminal messaging was a power move!!! HIM>>>>

BURN SOME RICH INDEED😎

Some things are hard to change because some things are hard to notice. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT YALL!!

THE FUCKING PHOTOSHOT!! FUCK!! HOLY SHIT!! IT WAS AMAZING, TALENTED, INCREDIBLE, AMAZING- Also, they are so fucking horny for each other its hilarious😂😂😂

All the tweets are ✨FUCKING GOLD✨ And yes Magnus is Alec's religion dont @ me 😌

@alecforgovernor I think the whole photoshoot is peak symbolism. Alec is going to get rid of all the bullshit in our state government the way magnus got rid of his pants in this essay I will-

@malecmybeloved the way alec is looking at magnus in the Gucci cover is literally the same face he had in that photo of him at church in conclusion magnus bane is alec’s god thank you for coming to my ted talk

I want these two to come back and elaborate jdhdkdj

Alec smiles at him. “Some days I love you so much it keeps me up at night.” CAN YOU NOT SIR?!?!? 🥺😭💙

Alec cares so much and the kids and Magnus being there to remind him of his ability is literally everything I need in my life!!!

Not the congressman and the model. Just Alec and Magnus. Idk why but I loved this!!

#Madir forever. Rip to you Alec but I'm different

And where Alec is...that's where Magnus belongs. THEM. JUST THEM!!!

How the fuck has it been 15 years indeed??!?

FUCK THAT MAN, HONESTLY I HATE HIM SO MUCH. DONT TRY ME BITCH🔪🔪

All this scene was AHVDIBDKDOWBEV it made me remember a lot of that quote in rwrb "History huh? Bet we could make some" and I just died right there💙💜💙 I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH AHHHH

"I know it feels like the world is against you, Alec. But I’m right here. If anyone wants to hurt you, they’ll have to go through me.” oh, and they did😭😭😭

I'm love Janie so much🥰

Magnus really said "fuck you!" and then went and fucked his husband in goverment propierry huh?

“This is a revolution and you’re its leader. Don’t give up on this. Keep fighting, Alexander.” AHH I CANT. TOO MUCH. I'M DYING SEND HELP

"Minerva belongs with you.” I loved everything he said but can we please talk about how he stole this just to make a point?? ✨ICONIC✨

Rafael ans Magnus on a motorcycle. My skin is cleared, my anxiety is cured, my life is better-

There is “I just woke up and I can’t be bothered” and “I miss my family so I stole their clothes” and “You wish you could pull this off” and “Yes, I’m a model” and “Piss off the conservatives” and so many others.

This is one of Alec’s favorites.

It’s “Tell me I look pretty”.

BITCH, YOU ARE MAKING ME CRY WITH THIS😭

I loved the way Magnus handle this and it really shows how much he has healed and grown!!!

Alec’s internal monologue has me laughing so hard kdhdkdbdk

Look, it hurted a lot to see Max and Rafael fight, but I just can't resist the urge to say "Oh, burn!" everytime they tell a good comeback lmao. But them apologising is actually so heartwarming🥺

Leslie doesn’t take anyone's shit and she is so badass for that. Call them out, love!!!

"I'm grateful for having strong women in my life.” Same tbh

FUCK NOW I WANT TAMALES TOO!!

All the talk about Max having time to do things he is proud of is so damn important and sweet!! I loved this whole scene!!! The things Magnus and Alec said are🥺🥺🥺 There is pride is in existing. I'M GONNA GET THIS QUOTE ON A TATTOO!!

Maybe Rafael thinks he let down Alec and he is avoiding him?

THE HUG😭😭😭😭 I ALSO NEEDED THAT HUG

I love hugs but kinda hate them too bc if someone hugs me a little too tightly or with a little too much feelings I cry. Like, I literally cry jdhdjdbd thats not healthy but we dont have time to unpack all that😂

Alec pulls back first. Because he knows if he doesn’t now, he never will. Because he knows, it will hurt – just a little – if Magnus pulls back first. THIS HURTS TOO MUCH 😭

Don’t yall love the way Alec is always trying to learn and do better for himself and other people?? AND HE WENT TO LUCA OMFG YESSS!!

ALL OF THE THINGS LUCA SAID ARE *SCREAMS INTERNALLY*

"Take your time and take it slow.”

///

"That’s the best kind of client. The one who doesn’t just grow but helps other people grow with him.”

I LOVE ONE (1) MAN AND ITS THIS ONE!!

“No,” Alec shakes his head. “Thank you for being there for Magnus when I couldn’t.” Luca looks surprised. But then he smiles. “It was my pleasure.”💜💜

He brought Chairman Meow!! Can this man not be so fucking precious?!? I already love him so much I cant😭

MALEC GOING TO THERAPY TOGETHER AND WORKING TOGETHER HELL YESS!! THAT IS CALLED GROWTH!!

Ok, this was loooong but it just proves that it was a fave as always. It gave me a lot of energy these days. tysm<33

Song rec: Glimpse of Us by Joji

BABE THIS SONG IS EVERYWHERE AND I AM OBSESSED WITH IT OMG.

Also that quote is pain :)

ALSO - not me (and some of yall) praising these bitches for going to therapy and getting it together while we are still a mess (WHICH IS VERY VALID OF US LOL)

[elysianluv]

content warning/s: none other than nozel silva 😐, also yami is an endangered species

a/n: nonnie i swear i love you so much, your mind is a blessing 😭💞 i hope i did your idea justice <3

COFFEE SHOP!AU! ft. nozel silva

— no bc coffee shop!au with nozel would be the CUTEST 😭💕

— let's say you're working part time as a barista? yeah

— so!! i feel like this is plenty obvious but 90% of my mans nozel's diet is coffee, have you met him 😃

— but to give you guys some backstory, lets backtrack into zel's ✨asshole era✨, he's probably been rude to you if you ever met outside of work — mans had zero tolerance for non nobles, after all

— you ran into him while roaming the marketplace with some friends, he was chasing yami on his silver eagle and was this close to murdering the man while fuegoleon was with them as damage control 😌✨

— and because they're all dumbasses he'd probably bump into you, sending you falling to the ground -- and you think, of course he'd stop and help you pick up everything you'd dropped because of him

— no.

— it probably doesn't help that fuegoleon does stop to help you even though he didn't cause you to fall, so your opinion of nozel is kind of trash

— six month timeskip brought to you by zel's braid, nozel is walking back from a late patrol when he sees your coffee store, and decides to give it a shot after remembering nebra had actually complimented it despite it being run by commoners

— now he walks inside with the biggest resting bitch face (i mean it's his normal face but like. you know what i mean.) and the entire place goes silent

— your coworker pushes you to the front to get nozel's order like the traitor she is, so here you are, trying to smile even though your ass hurts from the memory of last seeing him 💔

— "coffee, black" *drops a bag of gold coins*

— it's so awkwardsjskahahs this dumbass has never ordered anything in his entire life

— you don't tell him it's way too much money, he deserves to get ripped off ❤️

— he tries smiling at a little girl in the line and she starts crying </3

— and you're just like?? how come mans just comes in here with his arrogant ass making kids cry?? so naturally you give him a huge grin and present his cup with a bright "thank you for visiting us!"

— he doesn't think much of it until he gets to headquarters and hands the cup to his secretary, who for some reason can't stop cackling -- he finally checks the name you've written onto the cup

— ✨nose elle✨

— almost throws the cup into the trash but the coffee is too good 😭💔

— ends up at your store again the next morning, and finds the atmosphere is actually quite nice -- finds himself a cozy little table and brings out a book with a fancy lil pen, filling out the pages as he sips from his coffee

— remembers to check the name, and yet again, you've got it so frighteningly wrong

— can't bring himself to actually tell you to fix it because god, your smile is so bright and he lowkey doesn't want to see it dim but pretends as if he doesn't give a shit

— he ends up visiting at least once a week, and each time you butcher his name so much worse he thinks it's an actual talent 😭✨ it's lowkey funny even to him

— once his secretary came with him to see which of the employees doesn't fear death get coffee and he almost cries because y'alls thoughts about each other are way too obvious

zel: why do i come here? oh it's because their smile the coffee is quite nice, obviously

you: that braid may be big but even that can't hide your clownery sir

— oh this one time he's writing when you walk by, mumbling a small, "pardon me," as you touch his cup and it reheats immediately -- he's always been a little curious about you so he asks what your magic is, you tell him depending on its size, you can return an object to a previous state it had -- since his coffee got cold, you could return its state to when he'd just gotten it hot

— there's this couple that always comes into the cafe and sits right beside zel's favourite table, and they always get into fights, exposing each other and he glances at you with the funniest grimace and it makes you cackle each time, you obviously end up asking them to leave -- but when you guys talk he ends up making a snide reference to their argument with the tiniest smirk and you're just like fuckkk he's pretty

— all your coworkers *know* he's writing some shady shit on that book he always pulls out — the bets so far are that it's

diary entires

the wizard king's secrets

love letters

the famous smut stories an anonymous writer has been publishing in the royal capital these days

— poor guy never actually gets a cup with his actual name -- until the morning after elves' attack on the royal capital

— and he genuinely rubs his eyes because he's so tired and knows you'd never get his name right

— he'd asked his secretary to get his coffee that day, and it's a bit bland, so he actually visits the store to see what was up -- finds out you weren't the one to make it for him and almost throws the cup away with the most disgusting look

— and that's when he remembers oh shit, your magic would be super useful right now -- you explain that you don't have amazing control over it though, and he all but drags you to the silva estate

— tries teaching you a few tips, is actually patient because he knows your getting better would be beneficial for the capital -- and you obviously want to help your home heal so you try your hardest

— when you get a new spell, nozel takes you to one of the most damaged sites in the city -- you manage to 'reverse' a couple of homes at first try and he just looks so proud

— you turn to him in your excitement, mouthing an exhilarated, "did you see that?? that was me!" and he just about falls in love, nodding with the hints of a smile tugging at his lips 😭💞

— you witness him almost kill yami pt. 2 when he asks you to join the black bulls

— tries to say "my pupil will not be joining a bunch of uncouth delinquents", but then realises mid sentence you might not like to be called his pupil and tries to fix it to (y/n) -- ends up saying "my (y/n)"

— mereoleona and dorothy are snickering in the background

— and you're trying to diffuse the awkwardness, "ah-- uhm, don't worry about it, lord nozel"

— so yami being yami goes, "heh, so you're fine with being braids' (y/n)?"

— why would you leave it to nozel just kill him yourself 😭

— when things settle down a bit, he's at the café almost everyday

— it's crazy because everyone can see he's whipped except for you two -- it's not as if he's subtle when you're the only he actually talks to normally, not minding keeping up as long of a conversation as you'd allow

— and to be fair, he doesn't know what's going on himself, all he knows is that he absolutely loves your eyes -- thinks that the way they crinkle slightly when you grin at him is how they should always be, smiling, happy, at peace -- and the flutters in his stomach when you wiggle your eyebrows and ask, "the usual, yeah?" are entirely welcomed because they allow a small smile of his own that always makes yours widen

— he's scared the living shit out of his siblings too -- he'd asked what you recommended and in a terrible joke you'd gotten him the most colourful, sweetest flavour -- he'd actually been trying to drink it when the three of them entered, utterly shook at the sight of you laughing, telling him he doesn't have to finish it as he sighs in relief

— he scares himself sometimes too, the way he can't seem to look away from you as you put together his everyday drink humming a little tune he doesn't recognise; admiring even the sunlight when it frames your face, highlighting the details of your pupils and your little sound effects as you work through the machines

— when he finally figures out what's going on, it isn't a surprise -- sure, he'd never imagined himself falling for someone as unlike him as you, or falling in love at all for that matter -- but it is what is, because the way these past weeks have been going it would've been unrealistic of him to not be falling for you; it only really becomes clear the day he insists on teaching you the correct spelling to his name -- you give him a funny look, a look that makes his chest clench strangely, before mumbling out a short, "no." he hadn't understood what that was about, not until your coworkers began teasing you for the heat in your cheeks on his way out

— near the end of the month, nozel enters the cafe to find you seated on a stool, your lips jutted out in a pout -- you're quick to include him in the conversation you're in, and he surmises it's the live stage play adaptation of that book you love you're so disappointed in, hoping that the musical version in a few days would be better -- when your eyes widen in barely concealed excitement

— "we should watch it together! i mean—" you clear your throat, "ah, 's fine if you don't want to obviously, but i just realised i always talk about the series with you and we didn't even watch the play together either, did we? you're depriving me of my daily nozel dose with those missions of yours already,"

— he's sure the pink dusting his cheeks is obvious, but you don't mention it as he tells you he's never been to a musical -- which is true, though it'd be more accurate to say they've simply never caught his fancy

— this one, though -- nozel thinks he can certainly enjoy this one

Staycation (n. informal)

— a holiday spent in one’s home country rather than aboard, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions.

Hi, I’m Cadence, and I’m a staycation enthusiast.

I love staying in hotels and there has not been a moment since last summer when I’m not moaning about how much I miss travelling (I miss travelling). As a result, I have fostered a newfound love for staycations where you get to stay somewhere nice and get that feeling of escaping from the burdens of everyday life even without leaving the country.

Since it’s summer and it is the season for vacations, there is no better theme to have for a summer event than to take everyone on a nice little staycation getaway✨

Accepting asks from 1/6 10:00 hkt to 4/6 23:59 hkt

All posts for this event will be tagged with #secondhand hotels & resorts

Let me show you around...✨

Check-in

— send in details of your dream vacation + a colour scheme + a character and get a 9-grid mood board themed around a perfect stay at one of our hotels and resorts tailored to your tastes!

— e.g. somewhere sunny where I can lounge around the warm sand all day and relax under the sun, it would be a dream if we’re staying in a villa where no one can interrupt us and it feels like we’re in our own world + gold + Hinata

Concierge

— you came alone? That’s alright, tell me one thing you totally would have done in the past year if it wasn’t for the whole covid situation + m/f preferences and you might just meet someone lovely during your stay here;)

— aka you tell me things and I’ll match you up with someone by working the magics of being the manager of this hotel to put you two at the right spot at the right time

— e.g. I had plans to go on a road trip with my friends across cities but it didn’t happen🥲 + no specific preferences

Luggage area

— send in a description of what type of packer you are when you go on overnight trips + a character and I’ll tell you three absolutely unnecessary thing they brought with them on the staycation

— e.g. I’m moderate with my luggage. I don’t really feel the need to bring everything I use on a daily basis but I have certain things that I insist on bringing even though not carrying them with me won’t be too big of an issue either. I never bring more than one bag or suitcase with me. + Bokuto

Room service
