To Die, To Sleep-

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

William Shakespeare

This is my contribution to @butterscotchbaku‘s New Year, New Kink event!

Gang Orca x F! Reader

Word count: 2.4k

Summary: Kugo’s patrols keep him late one night, but he finds you’re always ready and willing to love him.

Warnings for: Dacryphilia, Size Kink, Breath Play, Consensual Somnophilia, Calling Kugo Sir, Unprotected sex, Breeding Kink, After care. Established relationship. All things considered this is pretty fluffy. Butter said I had to tag it for monster fucking and Kugo’s wiggly dick too </3

If you enjoyed this fic why not buy me a coffee or commission me for your own?

The bed is too big to lay in alone.

It really is the first thing Kugo notices when he arrives home: how small you look, curled up around yourself in the shared bed. You’re tangled up in the dark sheets, but Kugo can see the way you’re tense underneath them. You shift, just enough for the sheets to slide down and Kugo is able to get an eyeful of your soft skin. He realizes all at once that you’ve given him a gift- your naked body, ready and willing for him. The two of you have talked about this before, having you waiting for him like this. You had told him that if you waited for him naked that you were his to play with, his to take the way he wanted. The timing hadn’t been right, but here you are now and he feels a bit lightheaded with how quickly the blood rushes south. He can feel when his cock starts to strain against his underwear, tenting his pants.

He reaches out, fingertips barely catching the sheet and tugging it down as soft and slow as he can. It glides off your body, revealing inch after inch of bare skin. He stops it at your waist, eyes trailing over your chest. Your breathing never changes. Not even when he sits on the bed next to you. The steady rise and fall of your chest is enticing him, and he would need the will of a saint not to give in.

He’s never been the most virtuous of men.

The first brush of his hand is soft, it’s his fingertips over the soft swell of them. He traces over the outside of them, and in your sleep you shiver. He’s even more careful when his fingers tweak at your nipples, tugging and pinching at them until they’re little stiff peaks. His red eyes never leave your face, searching for any sign that you might be waking. He thinks, perhaps, that he should try to wake you but there’s something so intimate about this, something so dirty at the same time. He wants to see how much he can ruin you before you wake up, wants to make you gasp and come undone with pleasure before you can even realize what’s hit you.

He now leans over to poke his tongue out, just as little as he can. He knows his tongue isn’t the softest or smoothest texture in the world but he also knows that it’s one of your favorite things to feel on you. He’s done this enough times now that he can play your body like a fiddle- the barest hint of his tongue ghosting over them. Knows that if he keeps this up enough when he finally makes his way to your sweet cunt that it will be wet beyond belief for him. Kugo alternates between the two nipples, making sure that neither of them ever go more than a moment without attention. Once your chest is red and he hears your breath hitch for the first time he finally leaves them alone.

The sheets dip down even lower.

Now you’re bare before him, and with his enhanced senses, he can smell how wet you are between your legs. It never ceases to amaze him, how wet you get, how good it smells. How good you taste. He pushes your legs open, worried the stretch will wake you but they fall open easily for him with a sigh drifting from your mouth. He has just enough space to settle down between them. Kugo’s tongue licks at your folds lazily, dragging his tongue up them in the most teasing of manner. He doesn’t want to rush this, simply enjoying the taste of you on his tongue. It’s not until he presses his tongue inside of you, close enough that his nose brushes up against your clit that he’s finally rewarded with a moan.

“S-sir?” He can hear you ask, voice soft with sleep. He lets out a low rumble from his chest at hearing your name for him. He wants to stuff you full with him as soon as he hears the name fall from your lips, pleased beyond reason that even in your sleep you will always be his good little girl. He doesn’t answer you, instead keeping his mouth on you, fingers spreading you open for his tongue to move as deeply as it can. He takes care to keep his nails off you, as blunted as they might be he doesn’t want to cause you any pain.

Not yet, at least.

Your hands bunch the fitted sheet, as you fully come to consciousness. You can feel his tongue inside you, the muscle isn’t hard, but it’s so much larger than your fingers. Even like this the size difference between the two of you is obvious- just his tongue moving in and out of you is enough to make you shudder in delight. You press your hips up, a silent beg for more, and one large arm comes down over your hips, pinning you to the bed. You can feel the coil of an orgasm growing already, and it makes you wonder how long he had been playing with you before you had woken up. A small part of you is disappointed you hadn’t been a deeper sleeper. The larger part of you simply wants your husband’s cock inside of you at the earliest moment.

“Sir!” You gasp out, thighs twitching as you try to fight back your orgasm, knowing what Kugo wants to hear first. “Please, please let me cum sir, I’m so close.”

The low hum of approval is the only thing you need to hear, your thighs coming close around his berth as you ride out your orgasm. You can feel Kugo move back and lap up every part of you, savoring as much of your orgasm as he can until you’re a shaking mess on the bed in front of him. He sits back on his legs, and it’s now that you can get a truly good look at him. He’s just come from patrol, you can see in the moonlight streaming in from the window, in the outfit he wears for his hero costume. It makes him look even larger, more predator than you know is possible. You wonder how many criminals had been in his sights just like this.

You’ve never been so delighted to be prey.

Your eyes drink him in as much as you can as he slowly starts to disrobe. This has always been your favorite part of sex with Kugo. You knew that some people might not see the appeal of your husband but to you he was nothing short of perfect. He makes a show of it for you, though if the lights were on you would be able to see the subtle flush of his cheeks. He would never get used to the way your eyes rake over him, how your pupils blow out in lust. Soon he’s bare in front of you, resisting the urge to hide himself.

Saying nothing in about the way he tenses when he’s naked, you spread your legs wider for him. Partially to invite him to lay in between them, and partially for him to see how much he’s already pulled from you. You hear his sharp inhale, and he takes his moment to show off his prowess. He’s on top of you before you can even blink, his arms resting on either side of your head to prop himself up. You take the closeness to press your lips to him, placing soft kisses on all the skin you can reach.

“I don’t think you’re ready for me, little love,” You know you aren’t, silently agreeing with him in your head, but you can’t find it in you to care.

“It’ll be fine, Sir, please,” You manage to whimper out beneath him. He still looks unconvinced, but the way you’re pressing your hips up towards him like a bitch in heat weakens his resolve.

“You’ll let me know if it hurts, won’t you?” You frantically nod your head in answer to his question, not trusting your voice as he reaches down to align his cock with you. Despite how many times you’ve had him inside of you, the stretch always stings at first. You doubt you’ll ever get used to the sensation of his length pressing into you- he’s not hard like previous lovers you’ve had, but solid. He’s thick and long, and every small movement of his cock has you seeing stars. You can feel it twitch and twist inside of you, your eyes prickling with tears. As soon as one escapes down your cheek he pauses.

“Little love?” His voice is questioning, but the strained tone of it lets you know he’s feeling the same way you are.

“M-more, Sir, I can take it!” You insist, sniffling up at him. Your glassy eyes don’t exactly reassure him but he moves forward nonetheless. By the time he’s sheathed all the way inside of you, you’re shaking underneath him. One small movement is all it takes to have you cumming, a sob ripping from your chest. He waits, letting you be the one to set the tone now. You know exactly what you want from him. Your legs find purchase on his waist, pulling him into you even more.

“Choke me, Sir?” This is something he rarely indulges you, so scared of hurting you. You can hear his breath hitch as he processes your request, and you think this might have pushed him too far. You open your mouth to apologize when one of his hands rests itself on your throat. With all his size and strength even the barest hint of pressure has you feeling lightheaded, and you shudder in his arms when he starts to move again.

His hips take up a steady rhythm, slowly moving in and out of you. There’s so much of him he never truly pulls out of you, but the slow drag of his cock is pressing up against every sweet spot you have. Tears are falling from your eyes freely now, causing Kugo to lean down and lick them from your face.

“You look so good like this, little love,” His voice is nearly a growl when he praises you, only the slightest pause before he continues on, “Spread out underneath me like this, already cock drunk, aren’t you?”

There’s no possible way you can reply, the only thought running through your head being Kugo. It happens everytime the two of you make love, you’re rendered dumb on him. You can’t form words anymore, only whimper out his name mixed with the occasional Sir. It drives him damn near feral to see you like this, so strung out on pleasure he’s given you, before he’s even considering being done with you. The next words whispered out of your mouth hardly help things.

“P-please, Kugo, want your cum,” Your voice is whiny, laced with need as your hands come up to press down on his hand at your throat, but you still manage out, “Want you to breed me, wan-wanna make you a daddy.”

This is something he’s only confessed to you in the dead of night, laying together and dreaming out your future together. You’re playing a dangerous game with him, something his low snarl confirms. You know how desperately he wants it, to see your belly swell with his child.

“Don’t try me, little love,” HIs hand presses down hard on your throat for a moment, before pulling back and leaving you gasping for air. You place your hands on either side of his face, forcing him to look you in the eye.

“I’m not trying you, Sir,” You hesitate for a moment, wondering if he’ll be angry when you finally confess your little secret but you’re in too deep now, “I stopped my birth control a couple of weeks ago. I had meant to tell you at a better time…”

He’s silent as death on top of you, his eyes closing for a moment as he takes in a deep, shuddering breath. Before you can even open your mouth his hand is once again on your throat, choking you off. His eyes snap open the same time his hips start to move again, this time his pace is harsh and unsteady. It’s like he can’t help the way his body moves now, running on pure instinct alone. You can’t possibly keep up, sobbing out your pleasure underneath him now.

“Is this what you want?” There’s a crack in his voice when he speaks now, “You filthy siren, do you want me to fuck you full of my cum? So deep that there’s no chance you won’t bear my child?”

You can feel fresh tears spill down your face, the thought of it all catapulting you into your third orgasm of the night. All at once everything becomes almost too sensitive for you, but Kugo shows no signs of slowing down. He keeps fucking into you with the same intensity as before, a fire burning in his eyes when they meet yours. He can see the blissed out look on your face, despite the tear streaked look of your cheeks. It’s this that finally does him in- the love and adoration for him so clearly written in your eyes.

His hips press so closely to you that you can feel him against your clit, something that makes you give one last sob. His hand relaxes off your throat, air rushing to your head. He cums in you, leaving you feeling almost too full. There’s no room for his cum, and his cock, leaving him to pull out of you. You can feel some of it leak out of you, but Kugo presses your legs together for you. He moves off of you, curling into your side as much as he can. His hands return to their gentle nature from before, slowly massaging every part of your body he can reach. There’s just enough pressure in them to leave you boneless on the bed.

“Did I hurt you, little love?” You think your heart might burst from the concern that laces in his voice. You turn to him, wiping the remaining tears from your eyes.

“I feel fantastic, Sir, and you?” He has the audacity to snort at you, the sound drawing a giggle out of you.

“I don’t think I could feel better if I tried.” His hand finds yours, intertwining your fingers together. He brings them to his face, pressing his lips into them.

“I love you, Kugo.”

“And, I you.”

A/N - I couldn’t write anything for tonight, so I have an angsty little Drabble I wrote at work >:) Enjoy

(( AYAKA X READER ))

“There will be plenty more hands to hold.”

Tears were such a fragile thing, from the way it welled up to the way it slowly streamed down the plush of a cheek. Delicate as it stopped at the chin, tickling your skin and leaving you void, empty.

“Don’t leave me,” was her only response, grip tight on your hand. Her hair was loosened from the usual pony tail to fall along her shoulders, framing her face as she stared, hopeless. She looked so vulnerable like that, hands squeezing your wrist while her body leaned against the ground. Until her knees dug into the fabric of the carpet, numbing when she slowly pressed her forehead to the back of your palm.

Ayaka was beautiful.

Even when so desperate, she was oh so gentle. From the way she held you to the way she cried. You could remember all her expressions like a painting held in a museum, cherished, something to look back on. To marvel each and everytime with the same adoration as the last.

You loved her.

“Y/n,” she repeated, face barely reaching your ears. “Y/n no one can compare, I can’t hold onto anyone else if I don’t have you.”

It was your turn to be soft, leaning down to press your lips against her forehead one more time. You felt her shake beneath you, but when you slowly drew away, you offered only a smile. “You will learn to,” was your only answer. “I believe in you.”

“I…” she struggled with her words, breath catching as her lips trembled. “I don’t want to. Not without you.”

But it was becoming late, and even though your embrace would last much longer, oh so much longer if you could, you were running out of time.

“Don’t leave me.”

Porcelain skin made her look so frail, the moonlight outlining the crevice of her jaw and the shadows under her eyes. Her mouth was slack, hands shaking with her grip. The hardest part of leaving someone isn’t saying goodbye, because you could adorn kisses along her face. Just until all her tears were gone, a distant memory and a forever smile.

The hardest part is walking away.

It was standing up that was the hardest, breaking away from her grip and watching as she crumbled beneath you. Because without you she was plunged into a darkness she’d known all her life, a darkness she didn’t want to succumb back into. Not when you’d shown her a light she held so precious.

“Y/n,” She begged, having only her hand in yours to keep her stable. “Please… please- please.”

You didn’t answer, only bringing her hand to your lips as she sobbed. Tears were such delicate things, and if you could you’d cup everyone of her’s and usher them away. They were necessary, but it brought you so much pain to see them. Precious, a moment so well captured not even a Kamera could frame it just as well as you did. You didn’t need a photo to remember it, the feel of Ayaka’s palm against your lips, the Kamisato residence silent and patient for your leave.

“I love you.”

But nothing compared to the pressure in your chest when you turned, footsteps echoing off wooden planks that creaked with every step. A symphony joined in by the sobs of the one you loved most.

α drєαm, σr íѕ ít?

(Sanji x gn/enby reader) [Aug 16, 2020]

Out of all the oneshots I’ve written this is probably my number 1. I love this one so much. Hope you all love it <3

mч hαnd ín híѕ αnd híѕ ín mínє, σur hαndѕ íntєrtwínєd

Easier to read ver:

[my hand in his and his in mine, our hands intertwined

swaying back and forth, heart to heart, truly art

eye to eye, I spy his glistening ocean orbs

my only devotion, protect with all my might

flowers in his hair, my heart despairs, for it cannot handle such a sight

my love, sunflower, heaven above

my mind, his to devour

the rain showers, yet moonlight sings for us

oh for wedding bells I desire, to share rings

a song swells from us within, just for two, a pair

as it fades we say adieu ]

Seagulls' excited calls beckon them from the enchanting dream. Why must they wake up? It was simply too good to be true.

Regretfully, they climb out of their mattress's comforting grasp and force their self to greet the day. Is it a comfy or stylish day? Why not both?

Both.

So they picked out their favorite clothes, before heading out. It was earlier than they normally wake up, about the time Sanji got up to prepare breakfast.

Right on time, Sanji exited the men's room. He hesitated for a moment, surprised to see the rarity of them awake at such an hour.

"Y/n~, lovely to see you so early in the day. I must be blessed~" He happily greeted in his usual flirty way.

"Lovely to see you too." Y/n replied in the usual calm manner.

"Would you like some tea to drink while I make you breakfast?" Sanji asked, hoping to spend some extra time with y/n before the others woke up.

"Yes, please." They answered, feeling better by the second just by being in his presence.

They happily sipped on their favorite tea while listening to Sanji work. He was humming an oddly familiar tune.

Brushing it off as coincidence, they slipped away into a daydream until breakfast was ready.

chєrrч вlσѕѕσmѕ fluttєríng thrσughσut thє pєαcєful αír. σnє вч σnє thє pєtαlѕ nєѕtlєd ѕσftlч íntσ híѕ díѕhєvєlєd вlσnd hαír. thєч ѕwєpt thєm αwαч, gαzíng αffєctíσnαtєlч dσwn whєrє híѕ hєαd lαч rєlαхєd σn thєír lαp-

Easier ver:

[Cherry blossoms fluttering throughout the peaceful air. One by one the petals nestled softly into his disheveled blond hair. They swept them away, gazing affectionately down where his head lay relaxed on their lap-]

"Breakfast for y/n~" Sanji chanted placing it down before them, snapping them out of their trance.

"Oh, thank you, Sanji." They said with a light smile and began to eat.

Delightful as always, he never fails

"You were off in other worlds again, right? Ah, you always look so happy there~ I regret ruining it everytime." Sanji said dreamily.

"Oh- Yes, definitely other worlds." y/n said almost choking.

"Careful, what do you imagine in those daydreams of yours?" He said dropping the flirty tone for once, gazing at them with curiosity.

"What makes me the happiest, that's what I end up thinking of every time." Y/n answered truthfully, yet vaguely.

"And that is?" He asked leaning in slightly, clearly interested as to what could possibly absorb their mind in such a way.

"That's a secret~" They answered with a mischievous smile gracing their face, teasingly tapping him on the nose.

They gathered the empty dishes together and got up before he could question their secrecy.

"Thank you, Sanji. It was a pleasure, as always." They said happily and left, leaving him in a lost state.

---

Later the crew split up into groups of two to explore the spring island.

Y/n and Sanji chose to walk along the path furthest to the left. First wheat grass, then a pink cherry orchard, and later they came upon a flower field.

It was noon and they decided to sit under a tree amongst the flowers and have a picnic.

A sweet gentle breeze swept though tickling all the flowers as it passed and ruffled their hair. Once again he didn't fail to please. Cherry tarts, a bouquet of fruit, and red wine.

One by one they carefully picked out flowers and weaved them together into a crown fit for a Prince. They turned to him holding it out.

"Thank you~" He said cheerfully, placing it on carefully as though it could shatter at his touch.

They put everything away and continued along the path. Eventually a small village entered their sight.

The village was a collection of small houses with moss roofs and a sparkling fountain at the center. The market was small, but carried excellent fruit and vegetables.

The path continued further into a small forest. Time passed quickly as they talked and the sun began to set. Rain clouds peaked around the corner to warn of oncoming rain. A white gazebo with windows and a door was visible in the distance.

They walked to the gazebo and decided the best course of action would be to wait out the rain in there.

Rain pitter pattered against the windows as the sun slipped away. A radio sat upon one of the benches waiting for sweet melodies to escape it's small form. The song it it sang was the same entrancing sound they dreamt of.

"Sanji, weren't you humming it this morning?" Y/n said turning to him.

"I was, but it was from I dream I had last night." He answered, suddenly flushed and avoiding their gaze.

"So, you had the same dream too then?" Y/n said stepping closer, heart filled with longing and hope.

His head shot up, surprised.

"Gazebo, rain, night, this song, and.... dancing?" He asked cautiously, fearing he somehow had a different dream. Fearing the song was the only thing they had shared the night before.

"And the flower crown, yes." They were now standing before him, so close.

Y/n slowly held out their hands as an offering for a dance.

He hesitated, scarcely believing reality. The opportunity couldn't be missed and so he accepted.

Swaying back and forth, hands intertwined, hearts beating as one, they danced to the sweet sound the little radio sung to them.

Their eyes met his and all doubt washed away. They leaned in pulling him closer and sealed their fates with a soft kiss. His eyes fluttered closed and he melted into their touch.

The rain grew silent and the moon shined approvingly upon the two.

"Sanji, do you still want to know what I daydream of?" They whispered leaning their forehead against his, eyes half lidded.

"Yes, I want to know what makes you so happy. I'd search the entire grand line to give it to you." He answered them affectionately.

"You."

His eyes widened. He suddenly hugged them, burying his face into the crook of their neck, and held on tightly as though they'd disappear at any moment.

"Take it. Take it all. My everything, it's all yours." he whispered against their neck in an almost broken voice, tears spilled over and dampened their shirt.

They returned the hug, wrapping their arms around him, and rubbing his back softly.

"And leave you with nothing? It's only fair I return the favor." Y/n whispered back with a slight chuckle.

His silent cries became full sobbing as he nuzzled his tear stained face against their neck and gripped the back of their shirt.

They continued rub his back and slowly swayed side to side until he'd caught his breath.

Once he'd calmed down they loosened the the hug so that their arms rested around his waist.

"I love you." Y/n whispered breathlessly, always stunned by his mesmerizing beauty, as they gazed at him.

He leaned his face into their hand as they lifted it.

"I love you too." whispered back.

By Your Side (Biadore) - Candy Cane

A/N: just a oneshot based off of a prompt sent in that asked for bianca finding out abt adore’s onlyfans! its not quite that tbh but the words take me where they want to go lol please enjoy!! <3 theres some other things ive been trying to work on but its slow going rn as my cat is very sick and a lot of my time and energy has been dedicated to him, but i hope to get more out soon!

It’s only been a few months into quarantine when Adore finds herself on the phone with one of her oldest friends. Like, old physically not old as in how long they’ve known each other. But to be fair, there aren’t a ton of people she’s been friends with longer than she’s been friends with Bianca. Courtney and Darienne too for that matter.

She loves Bianca. Their friendship is something precious to her, and surprisingly this is only the second phone call they’ve had since quarantine has started. They talk basically every day through texts, and that’s on top of the hours they spend going back and forth in the ABCD group chat with Courtney and Darienne. The four of them have something special, all of them realize that. There’s just something specifically between her and Bianca that Adore’s never really been able to place her finger on.

Out of the blue this morning Bianca simply… called her. Adore spends a full moment staring at the CallerID trying to figure out where the fuck this is coming from. With an uncertain frown, she answers the phone, hanging upside down off the side of her bed of course.

“So… OnlyFans? Seriously?” Bianca asks incredulously, her voice crackling over the phone speaker.

What a way to start a conversation after not hearing each other’s voices for like a month! Even though Adore can’t see her face, she can practically hear the raised eyebrow.

“Fuck you,” Adore laughs, unable to help smiling at Bianca’s playful accusations.

“Not that I’m mad, but why fucking OnlyFans? Aren’t bitches doing podcasts now?”

“I’m bored, okay? There’s not a lot to do but drink and masturbate, and drinking hasn’t really been doing it for me lately. Plus, I gotta make money somehow,” Adore grumbles through an explanation, lifting herself up and sprawling out on her bed awkwardly.

“Do I need to set up an intervention? You know I will,” Bianca says with faux seriousness, “Seriously though, if you need some help…”

Adore frowns down at her phone. She hates pity, she hates unnecessary worry, and she definitely hates burdening people with her bullshit.

“B, I’m fine, I promise,” she says earnestly, “I guess I just… I miss you. A lot. And we can’t see each other right now and it fucking sucks and I’m really lonely-”

“Come over.”

“What? I can’t, B, we’re quarantined…”

“When’s the last time you left your apartment?”

“Uhh, I dunno, maybe a month ago?’ Adore answers, unsure of where Bianca is going with this.

“Okay, that’s well over two weeks. Come hang out with me for a few days, get some human interaction, I’ve been needing it myself. I haven’t gone out or seen anyone for a few weeks now,” Bianca admits, and Adore feels suddenly giddy.

It’s been so long since she’s seen someone, since she’s even gotten a hug, and she really wants to see Bianca…

“I’ll be there tomorrow morning,” Adore agrees, not even thinking twice about it.

Bianca is everything to her. This person was one of the first to really take her seriously, to really see something in her, and Adore doesn’t know where she’d be without her. Every time something goes wrong, her first instinct is to call Bianca. Everytime something amazing happens, her first instinct is to call Bianca. They’ll spend hours talking or texting just because and Adore wouldn’t have it any other way.

They are as good together as PB&J, or peanut butter and celery, or peanut butter and pretzels… And Adore realizes she is feeling very snacky, specifically for peanut butter. With a sigh she rolls off her bed to get a snack before she starts packing for the next week.

The point is Adore loves Bianca, and Danny loves Roy. Sure maybe it’s in a different way than they should, or even once did, but it can’t be helped. It can be hidden, though. And Danny is more than fine with hiding this secret, as long as they get to have Roy in their life at all. He’s more than what Danny should ever even hope for, and yet a part of them can’t help but hope.

After spending so much time apart, Danny knows it’ll be harder now than ever to hide these feelings they’ve been harboring for Roy. They’ll try though, because sometimes the thought of this man loving them back is all that keeps them going.

Danny arrives at Roy’s beautiful new house in Palm Springs at nearly noon the next day. Which, to be fair, is very much the morning for Danny. They even woke up early to make the trip! …If ten a.m. counts as early in any book except their own.

Roy is already standing out in the driveway waiting for Danny when they get there, his arms spread wide for a hug the second Danny gets out of their car. The younger practically rocket launches themself into his arms, clinging tight to him as they savor the first hug they’ve gotten in such a long fucking time. Danny can’t help the tears that fall at finally having such warm, loving human contact, especially from this person.

They hold onto each other as tight as they can, each beyond glad to have each other’s trust in such unreliable times. Being alone for so long had hit Roy hard too. Alcohol and binge watching can really only do so much, and he’s genuinely been feeling lonely being stuck in one spot for so long. The dogs help some, but at the end of the day it really doesn’t replace human interaction, no matter how hard he wishes it did.

“I missed you, baby girl,�� Roy says, and Danny can almost hear his voice waver.

“I missed you too,” Danny whispers, trying and failing to hold back a sob.

They leave Danny’s bag in the car for now, much more eager to go sit down and enjoy each other’s company. The dogs bombard the two of them the second Danny crosses the threshold, the enby leaning instantly down to kiss and coo at the babies and Roy can’t help grinning widely at the sight. He loves his babies, and he loves his baby girl.

They spend the afternoon talking and laughing and playing with the dogs. Danny clearly gets some ideas about the golf cart, and Roy is suddenly excited about the upcoming few days. It’s been a while since either of them have really had something to look forward to.

“Alright, I still need you to explain this OnlyFans thing to me,” Roy says with a smirk a few hours later, after they’ve gotten properly settled in on the couch together with the dogs.

Danny’s eyes go wide with slight panic, “Okay, grandpa, it’s like uhhh, Patreon but-”

“No, no, no!” Roy laughs, “I know what it is, I mean why that? Why not literally anything else?”

“First of all, I am sexy. Second of all, I spent a lot of time not making money masturbating, which is a fucking shame because as I said before I am sexy.”

They both crack up at that, giggling like idiots on Roy’s couch, the puppies quickly joining in, yipping at them to be a part of the excitement.

“Awww, do you two think I’m funny?” Danny coos, picking Dede up and cuddling the pup close, “Your daddy doesn’t think I’m funny!”

Roy snorts, “You’ve certainly picked up a thing or two from me.”

“Like how to be a bitter old hermit!” Danny grins sweetly.

“Exactly,” Roy laughs.

“So if I ask really nicely will this bitter old hermit make me food?” Danny asks, batting their eyelashes pleadingly.

“My original plan was to let you starve to death while you were here, but since you’re asking nicely…” Roy says teasingly, feeling an odd sense of satisfaction at the way the younger throws their head back with laughter.

Late that night, after a long night of talking and watching TV and a decent dinner, they curl up into bed together. At one point they both needed to at least be tipsy to do that, but nowadays that’s just overkill. They have progressed well beyond that point of friendship, though Roy sometimes still likes to put on a show of being annoyed, if only because of the way Danny pouts and rolls their eyes.

Tonight he just holds the thick comforter up so Danny can slide in easily with him, he’s not really interested in making either of them wait longer than they already have for cuddles. In seconds the two are holding each other tight, savoring the touch. As Roy lays there, holding Danny like the younger is his lifeline, he starts to think about the time they’ve known each other. All the ups, downs, and side-to-sides… Danny has grown up a lot over the years they’ve been friends, and it’s hard to deny that it’s changed Roy’s feelings for them.

Once his feelings to the younger were almost motherly, but now it’s closer to attraction. It’s kind of weird, at the least it’s very fucked up. Roy wants to just give in to the feelings, but he can’t. Not when he has no way of gaging Danny’s feelings for him. He can live with this secret, he’s not sure he can live without Danny’s friendship.

Danny interrupts his thoughts, their voice small and curious, “Why were you so invested in my OnlyFans?”

“Bitch, I’m trying to sleep here,” Roy groans.

“No, seriously,” Danny pouts, sitting up in bed and looking down at Roy. The moonlight streaming in from the window highlights the enby perfectly, and Roy curses his luck.

“I don’t want you renting yourself out on the corner like Bunny, now get back to sleep you dumb slut,” Roy says with all of his usual teasing heat.

Danny pouts though, clearly not satisfied, “But…”

“Sleep. Now.” Roy demands, reaching up to tug them back under the covers. Danny reluctantly gives in, and snuggles close to Roy.

Just as Roy is about to fall asleep, Danny’s voice has his eyes flying open.

“Roy?”

“What?”

“I love you,” Danny whispers.

Roy’s heart melts a little at that, “I love you too, Danny.”

Danny bites their lip nervously, “I mean like… I think…”

Roy’s heart starts to beat faster in his chest. Surely they couldn’t mean…

“You think…?” Roy asks, hoping that despite it all this person is about to say what he thinks they are.

“I think I might be… in love,” Danny says, their voice quiet and timid in a way Roy hasn’t heard in a very long time, “With you.”

This time Roy is the one to sit up in bed, staring down at Danny with pure infatuation. Those words echo around his ears, his chest, his very soul, and before he even realizes what he’s doing he’s leaning down to capture Danny’s lips in a kiss.

His lips against theirs feels so undeniably right. Their lips move slowly against each other, Danny brings a hand around to cup the back of Roy’s neck and in that moment nothing is wrong in their own little world. In that moment it’s just them and the moonlight. He thinks that he could live forever in this moment and never need anything else.

They break apart much too soon for either of their tastes, and Roy stares into those pretty eyes and murmurs, “I think I love you too.”

Danny surges forward for another kiss, this one much more desperate than the last. It’s a hot, heavy kiss that ends with Roy flat against the bed and both of Danny’s hands cupping his face as they explore each other. It’s like no kiss either of them have had before, with so many years of emotion and uncertainty between them it’s intense. Bianca and Adore have drunkenly kissed before, but this absolutely cannot compare. Danny whimpers pathetically against Roy, their hips grinding down against Roy’s thigh.

Roy lets out a shaky breath and grips at the enby’s barely covered ass. From the way Danny is squirming and moaning after only a little contact, Roy knows it’s been a while since Danny has been with someone like this. Roy hasn’t been able to get laid in a while either, rendering them both more than eager for this. Neither of them have a sexual partner in their circles right now, except maybe each other. Just this morning that would’ve been an absurd thought, and now it’s simply what makes sense.

Both of them need sexual fulfillment as much as they need emotional fulfillment, and even the thought of providing it for each other is thrilling. Roy grabs Danny’s bottom lip roughly between his teeth, sucking on it as he rubs his hands underneath Danny’s oversized tank top and over their skin. Danny whines and whimpers so deliciously in response, and Roy loves it.

Roy and Danny pull the little clothing that is off one another, each soaking in the familiar sight of the other being completely exposed. It’s nowhere near the first time they’ve seen each other like this, but it’s another one of those things where it’s simply different this time around. Because now it’s been established they love each other as much more than just friends.

Danny sucks hickeys along Roy’s collarbone, moaning roughly as Roy twists their nipples harshly, their bodies so close and warm wrapped up tight together.

“Think… Think I’m gonna get my nipples pierced,” Danny giggles breathlessly before it’s cut off in a moan of sheer pleasure when Roy pinches them even harder.

“Oh really? You’ve done a lot of slutty things, baby girl, but that is definitely up there,” Roy smirks.

Danny smiles innocently, “It would only make your job easier.”

“What? This job?” Roy asks teasingly, then trails his fingers down Danny’s stomach so they ghost over the enby’s half-hard cock.

Danny gasps, and Roy takes the opportunity to press his lips against theirs all over again, sucking their tongue into his mouth as he teases their cock. They moan and whine and squirm, their fingers gripping and squeezing at the flesh of Roy’s back frantically in response. Roy knows that that’s going to leave a mark, despite the fact that their nails are usually kept short. He doesn’t mind though, in fact it makes him harder knowing that he’s the reason Danny is reacting like this.

Danny’s head falls back against the pillow, feeling heat rush to their cheeks upon seeing the smouldering look in Roy’s eyes as they stare up at him. He’s so fucking gorgeous, all his sharpness and softness in just the right places.

“Tell me what you want,” Roy whispers roughly.

Danny inhales shakily, “Want- Wanna feel you-”

“What do you want me to do to you, Danny? Use your words…”

“Fuck me, oh God please just fuck me, holy shit,” Danny begs, squeezing their eyes shut tight and squirming underneath Roy’s tight hold.

“Shh, that’s so good, thank you,” Roy murmurs, caressing Danny’s cheek, “I’m going to fuck you so hard.”

And Danny just moans. They’ve wanted this from Roy for so long, and so many years were wasted convincing themself otherwise that this really feels like a fucking dream come true. It’s their own little fairytale, just for the two of them. Danny gets to live this fantasy with Roy, and that thought alone is almost more mind blowing than the idea of getting rammed until they can’t remember their own name.

Roy leans across to riffle through the nightstand, and turns back to Danny with lube, a condom, and a devious grin on his face. Minutes later, Danny is a whimpering, begging mess just from two of Roy’s fingers stretching them open. Roy is clearly enjoying it, whispering dirty things in their ear as he slowly tortures them with his fingers. When he slides in a third finger, Danny lets out the filthiest, most inhuman sound Roy has ever heard.

“You are just so fucking needy,” Roy says lowly, pulling out his fingers and quickly rolling the condom on.

Danny nods feverently, their eager words of agreement being almost incomprehensible. Roy grabs their tiny hips in his large hands and slides himself in. That moment is almost pure magic, the connection that had been simmering for so many years finally coming to a boil. Danny sobs from the mix of emotion and sheer pleasure, throwing their head back and forth, panting and begging for more while Roy closes his eyes and takes it all in.

Danny is incredibly warm and tight around him, and after a minute he begins to thrust shallowly, making Danny’s mindless babbling slur together. His thrusts quickly become harsher, aiming specifically for Danny’s spot, his grip on them tightens and he grabs the enby’s cock and starts to lavish it with some much needed attention.

“OhGodohGodohGodoh-” Danny rambles, pressing their face into the juncture of Roy’s neck and collarbone, inhaling his comforting, familiar scent, “So good, feels so good, don’t stop please don’t stop.”

“I’m not going to stop, shh, I’ve got you, fuck you’re so good,” Roy groans in response, his thrusts speeding up and his fingers around Danny’s cock tightening, “Are you about to cum for me? Huh?”

“Yes, fuck,” Danny rasps, “Yes yes gonna cum Roy please let me cum I’m gonna- gonna-”

Roy pumps his hand a few more times and whispers right in Danny’s ear, “Cum for me like a good girl.”

And Danny is a gonner. They moan high and long, their hips twitch rapidly and their whole body shakes with the force of their orgasm, ropes of cum covering Roy’s hand and both of their abdomens.

Danny practically goes limp in Roy’s hold, and just a few thrusts later Roy is undone as well, unable to help thrusting even harder and deeper into Danny’s body as he does. He falls on top of Danny, breathing heavy and ragged, and they hold each other tight. Danny’s arms still wrapped around Roy’s back when he carefully rolls them onto their sides so that they’re facing each other, nearly nose to nose. He gingerly pulls out of Danny, ties the condom, and throws it into the bin that he knows is next to the bed.

Roy cups their chin with his clean hand and stares into their dazed, half-lidded eyes. Danny blinks slowly, the afterglow beginning to wear off.

“I can’t believe it took us seven years,” Danny murmurs, reaching up to thread their fingers through Roy’s currently long hair.

“It was worth the wait,” Roy smiles softly, “And now we have the rest of our lives.”

“Yeah,” Danny whispers, “I get the rest of my life with you.”

Because for Roy and Danny it’s nowhere near over. For them it’s all only just begun.

Dating 60s Allison Hargreeves Headcanons

Request: heyyyy can i request a headcanon thingy for allison hargreeves falling in love with a girl from the 60s? 💛

My gay ass really went oof when I read this thank you <3

Comments are always appreciated!

Okay, so you and Allison meet for the first time a little while after she landed in a random alleyway in 1960s Dallas, so she’s a little more settled into her new life. You meet her during one of her Civil Rights group meetings at Odessa’s Salon.

During the meeting, you sit in the corner and try not to catch her eye, but you can’t help yourself from becoming a blushing mess everytime you feel her gaze settle on your cheek. She sits at a nearby table in the middle of the floor, writing some notes, and smiling to herself every time her eyes flick over to your nervous form.

She gets up early before the meeting ends to grab some leaflets and stand by the door. When you pass by and she hands you one, your heart beats out of your chest and you feel frozen, only nodding with a tight smile when you take it out of her hand on the way out. She, on the other hand, is smiling brightly, having only done that to have a reason to brush her fingers against your own fingertips.

Pulling back as you exit the door, she places her hand to her mouth, feeling as if sparks of electricity is dancing against her skin.

She’d never felt like this before, but if she could only experience love like this in the 1960s, being stuck here would be worth it.

She would choose you again and again, in any time, in any lifetime, she would choose you.

You keep coming in after work to get your hair done, just to see her. You pop in at least once or twice a week, asking Odessa only for Allison until eventually she sees you come through the door, sighs, and just shouts for her name.

You just love the feeling of her fingertips running over your scalp, and the two of you keep on meeting each other’s eye in the salon mirror as he places a few clips in the corner of your hair.

Eventually, after you came in for the fourth day in the row to get your hair done, she couldn’t help but just blurt out if you wanted to go to dinner with her.

She’s surprisingly shy around you at first, only because her voice isn’t completely healed, and she doesn’t want to draw too much attention to it in case people start to ask too many questions. Every time she rubs against her throat, you just grab her hand and bring it to your lips, kissing each knuckle as you gaze into her swirling eyes. The amount of love and fondness in them, and the warmness in her beautiful smile always makes you melt into her arms.

She doesn’t care what people think when they see you two in public, she just throws them a dirty look and squeezes your hand, pulling you closer with a proud smile.

The two of you buy a quaint little house in the suburbs together after a few months, when she really believes all her siblings are gone. The two of you spend weeks collecting and decorating it with a bunch of yellow things - yellow throws, cushions, pillows, candles, everything cosy.

You always bring her back a bouquet of sunflowers when you get home, which makes her fall in love with you even more.

She loves to spend long evenings lying with you on the sofa after a stressful, hard day. The two of you alone together, only the sound of crickets chirping outside and an old timey jazz song floating from the radio nearby is an oasis of serenity for Allison. The moonlight pulls through the living room window and lights her hair like a halo as she lays on your lap, you stroking through it slowly as she rubs her thumb over your knuckles.

A lot of the time, she has nightmares about her family, and the apocalypse, and about her daughter. On these days, you come plodding sleepily down the stairs, rubbing your eyes as you see her sitting on the sofa with her head in her hands. You walk over quietly, her not noticing until your hands are cupping her cheek, and her forehead is resting gently against your abdomen. She smiles into your stomach as you pull her up and drag her by the hand across the house, the two of you spending most of the morning slow dancing across the kitchen tiles.

After a year, she realises she loves you enough to tell you the truth about her siblings, and about her powers.

You’re shocked at first, of course, but you tell her that you believe her and will never leave you.

‘You’re the best part of my life, Allison, and I’m glad you told me the truth.’

‘I’m the luckiest woman in Dallas, Yn, and I promise you one day change will come, I promise you.’

Supporting her whole heartedly during the sit in.

When her siblings finally start finding her, she knows that she really does love you when you learn to love, or manage, Klaus.

Too many times, you have come down and nearly tripped against his unconscious frame spread starfish on the kitchen floor.

Allison started to come downstairs, only to see you tenderly placing the throw you had wrapped around your shoulders over Klaus’ abdomen, and her heart eyes just grew tenfold.

You become a sobbing mess when she tells you she has to go back to her own time, promising she’ll never forget you, and you made her life more special than she had ever hoped for.

a game? | jade leech

summary: jade has had enough of this little game.

tags: slight angst, fem!reader

author's notes: guess who wrote a fucking self indulgent fic at 3AM?? Yup, that's me!! Your local takoyaki stall owner is sobbing over this man called jade and this is unedited I did not read this the second time so eirjejkdbfkdcbdjbrjh yolo

"Stupid." Jade felt his cheek sting from the impact of her slap. Why was she crying? Was it not her fault that they were walking on a tightrope, one wrong step and they'll meet their doom? He loved her, he loved her so much to the point that he can't stand being with her anymore. And yet, he hated her. He wanted to make her cry and scream as he immediately wipes her tears away and whisper sweet nothings to her. Why? Why is he feeling like this towards her? He feels like his heart is being squeezed every time he sees her with another man, smiling as she engulfs them in hugs and pepper their face with kisses. He shouldn't have any problem with this kind of thing, he knew that she really didn't love him and her loyalty never stayed in one place.

People called her unfaithful. Jade knew that and yet- he allowed himself to be captivated by her and her charms. He was a fool for her and he knew it, he would keep finding himself forgetting about her faults and come back to her- it was like Jade was on a leash. He could never break through- even if he tried his best. "I don't love her." He desperately tried to convince himself, coming up with dozens of excuses. The tears were threatening to fall from the corner of his eyes as he crouched down, desperately trying his best to keep his composed persona. Did she ever mean those sweet words she told him under the moonlight? Was it all just a ruse? What kind of sick joke is this? Let him go, please.

He thought it was time to put their relationship to an end, he thought it was now or never. If he didn't do it now, he could never manage to do it ever again. He wanted to break free from her web of lies and deceit, that's all that he could think about, not noticing the longing in her eyes everytime she looked at Jade. "Why won't you look at me…?"

No matter what she did, he wouldn't spare her a second glance. Why is it that he'll only look at her when she's being unfaithful? Why did he even accept her confession if he's just going to act as if nothing happened between them? It hurt. Does she have to continue acting like this just to grab his attention? It was childish of her- she knows. She knows that it's so childish of her to do this and yet she continues to keep up this dangerous act. Why is she forcing herself to do this? Can't she just leave him be and move on instead of hurting herself more? No, wanted to cling on to that hopeless relationship she has with him. When Jade called her and asked her to meet him in the Mostro Lounge, she was beyond ecstatic. Did it go through? Her smile turned into a frown, or is it over?

When Jade told her the words she didn't want to hear- "Let's put an end to this game." She slapped him. "Y-You stupid eel!" Tears were forming at the corner of her eyes, she was about to break down. Driven to madness by her own emotions, she failed to notice the slight crack in Jade's voice. An angel, that's what people used to call her. Because no matter what she did- she was beautiful and kind beyond words. Now, they called her a slut. Going out with different men and eventually just throwing them away in a matter of seconds. It didn't matter what her labels were now- she was herself and she was a sobbing mess.

Jade was pissed. Why was he the one to blame here? What right did she have to slap him? "Oh? So I'm the stupid one here? Who was it that cheats on me with different men for almost each day?" His calm persona was close to breaking- she was pushing him to his limits. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them against the wall above her head. "Stop playing with my heart, please." He was shedding tears, he hated how he was being so vulnerable right now. Right in front of her- no less.

"...what did you say?" She stopped struggling for freedom when she heard those words leave from his mouth. No… he couldn't possibly…? "Let go of me, Jade." She demanded, her voice shaky and her face still stained with fresh tears. Jade reluctantly loosened his grip on her wrists, wiping away his own tears. It was over, or so he thought. She tackled Jade into a bone crushing hug- knocking the both of them down on the Lounge's carpets. "I love you." She pulled him in for a passionate kiss, her eyes closed as she savoured the moment. Jade's eyes widened in surprise, but eventually melting into the surprise kiss. The words 'I love you.' not leaving from his mind. Did she really mean it? Was he willing to give her another chance? Perhaps.

She pulled away, breathless as she tried to cover her face with her hands, shyly admitting her wrongdoings. "I-I did it to get your attention." Jade was beyond surprised, a small smile took over his face as he slipped his hand beneath her chin and tilted it up. "What else did you do wrong?" There was still evidence of tears on his cheeks and she couldn't help but feel guilty- did he really feel that way? "I guess I never really talked to you about it and went ahead with my bullshit." She admitted, Jade grinned even wider. His butler-like persona was long gone and was replaced with his raw emotions. "So you didn't lie about the part when you said you loved me, am I correct?" She gulped, suddenly nervous from the sudden question but she steeled herself and looked at him directly in the eye. "I wasn't lying. I do love you." Jade's expression softened. Perhaps, he could give their relationship another chance.

MASTERLIST

I update this list everytime I watch and review a show.

Disclaimer: These reviews are subjective and only reflect my opinions. There are no drama on that list that I’ve turned off and all are worthy of a watch.

Recs welcome!

#1 Crash landing on you

(사랑의 불시착)

Grade: A++

Genre: Modern, Star-Crossed lovers

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Son Ye-jin (who plays Yoon Se-ri) and Hyun Bin (Ri Jeong-hyeok) have amazing chemistry and every episode plays out like the chapters of an excellent fanfiction. Classic romantic tropes, humour, angst, action, CLOY has it all. Moreover, if you’ve never watched a Kdrama in your life, CLOY is a great starting point—not only will it introduce you to Korean culture but also to popular tropes and codes of the genre.

#2 Rookie historian Goo Hae-ryung

(신입사관 구해령)

Grade: A++

Genre: Historical, Age gap

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Delightful from end to end, with lots of humour and an engaging story. The romance between Goo Hae-ryung and himbo-prince Dowon will make your heart go soft, especially if you’re into reverse gender dynamics (she’s older and kisses him first *le gasp*)

#3 Memories of the Alhambra

(알함브라 궁전의 추억)

Grade: B+

Genre: Modern; Sci-fi; Fantasy

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: No

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Intriguing premise, great cast and tons of special effects but the romance between Jin-woo (Hyun Bin) and Hee-joo (Park Shin-hye) won't go down in history. On top of that, the ending is a bit wishy-washy in that annoying “maybe there’s more to come” kind of way. Give us a clear cut ending, damnit!

#4 Good doctor

(굿 닥터)

Grade: B-

Genre: Modern, Medical drama

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Good heart but the writing is really clumsy at times and the hospital politics don’t make an awful lot of sense. On the bright side, Joo Won is great in the role of Park Si-on.

Note: I haven’t watched the American remake so can’t compare.

#5 My love from the star/ You from the stars

(별에서 온 그대)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Sci-fi, fantasy, Star-Crossed lovers

Episodes: 21

Happy Ending: Yes-ish

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Jun Ji-hyun is absolutely stellar in the role of Cheon Seong-yi, a ditzy Hallyu* star whose career is going south while Kim Soo-hyun plays the emotionally closed-off alien to perfection. Lots of pinning, a dose of angst mixed with a pinch of wacky humor.

*Hallyu means “Korean wave” in Chinese and refers to the popularity and spreading of Korean pop-culture outside of Korea.

#6 Hwarang The Poet Warrior Youth

(화랑)

Grade: B

Genre: Historical, Coming of age, fake siblings who catch feels

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Cute boys and interesting lore rooted in true facts (the bone rank system and the real Hwarang, the “Flowering Knights” of the Silla kingdom) but the story drags. I guess I expected more bromance and frolicking and less angst. Lastly, the main girl starts off quirky and fun but they quickly transform her into a sobbing mess which becomes real annoying real fast.

#7 Love in the Moonlight / Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛)

Grade: A

Genre: Historical, Romance, Coming of age, Posing as the opposite sex

Episodes: 18

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

A classic tale of a girl raised as a boy who ends up in a situation where she needs to do her best to not blow her cover while catching feels (As someone raised on Versailles no bara and Ribbon no Kishi, it remains one of my favourite tropes)

Sweet romance and good characters. The fact that Crown prince Lee Yeong doesn't turn emo when he starts developing feelings for Eunuch Ra-on before discovering she's a girl is the cherry on top of the cake.

#8 Something in the rain

(밥 잘 사주는 예쁜 누나)

Grade: C

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes, but it still doesn't make you happy

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Wasted potential!

Great start but the characterization falls apart quickly and you end up wondering why the main characters keep sabotaging their lives. By the end, despite their reunion, you're left with the impression they've learned nothing and that their relationship is doomed to fall apart.

On top of it all, watching Jin-ah fight sexism in the workplace and gaining nothing is depressing af (I don’t need realism in my escapism, thank you very much).

Too bad because Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in look really good together and the acting is top-notch. My advice is to watch the first 8 episodes then make up your own ending in your head.

#9 Moon embracing the sun

(해를 품은 달)

Grade: B+

Genre: Historical,Star-Crossed lovers

Episodes: 22

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

A traditional historical drama with all the tropes that go with the genre + a hint of esoterism.

If you love ill-fated relationships, tragic love triangle, evil queens, and amnesia, this is the show for you. Beware, the interrogation/torture scenes are rather brutal.

#10 My sassy girl

(엽기적인 그녀)

Grade: B-

Genre: Historical, Rom-Com

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Cute and lighthearted but easily forgettable. Still worth a watch thanks to Joo Won & Oh Yeon-seo's chemistry.

#11 Coffee Prince

(커피프린스 1호점)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Posing as the opposite sex

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Solid story, great cast but be ready for a lot of bickering.

Yoon Eun-hye is a precious bean who manages to sell the story of Eun-chan, a struggling androgynous working-class girl who mistakenly gets hired by a rich guy to play his boyfriend, then becomes his employee, then falls for him while not correcting his assumptions about her gender. Opposite her, Gong Yoo (from Train to Busan fame) is 🥰🥰🥰

Sidenote: Despite Han-kyul's struggle to accept his feelings for Eun-chan, homosexuality isn't treated as a joke or a shameful thing. The one time he goes seek “medical help”, the doctor is depicted as an old, clueless idiot. And honestly, the story would work too if Eun-chan was a guy.

#12 My girlfriend is a Gumiho/My girlfriend is a Nine-tailed fox

(내 여자친구는 구미호)

Grade: B+

Genre: Modern; Fantasy

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki - Available on Netflix (FR) too

Campy and goofy. It does look a bit dated (it’s from 2010) and the story is a little predictable but Lee Seung-gi as Cha Dae-woong, an aspiring action film actor and Shin Min-ah as “Gu Mi-ho” the nine-tailed fox looking for a mate are super cute. The show is also a good introduction to Korean folklore.

#13 Goblin / Guardian: The Lonely and Great God / The Lonely and Great God – Goblin

(쓸쓸하고 찬란하神 – 도깨비)

Grade: A+

Genre: Modern, Historical, Fantasy, bromance

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes-ish

Watched on: Viki

Unpopular opinion but since I’m not into older guys, I wasn’t invested in the romance between Bride and Goblin until late in the series. I loved everything else though. The show has such a unique tone and atmosphere. It goes from super serious to goofy in no time. The cinematography is gorgeous (especially the historical sets) and you'll cry your eyes out.

#14 Healer

(힐러)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

If you're into toll broody guys and fearless smoll girls, you’ll love Healer. The story is great, the characters are great and the way Jung-hu (played by Ji Chang-wook) and Ji-an (Park Min-young) are horny for each other is peak drama! *chef kiss*

#15 Kangchi the beginning/Gu family book

(구가의 서)

Grade: B-

Genre: Historical, Fantasy

Episodes:

Happy Ending: No

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Engaging coming of age story of a half-human half-gumiho looking for his place in this world. If it wasn't for the wishy-washy ending it could have been the perfect mix of action fantasy and romance.

Special mention for Dam Yeo-wool (played by Suzie Bae) who is a female character who's allowed to be a bit of everything at the same time (strong, kick-ass, funny, cute, romantic)

#16 Queen for seven days

(7일의 왕비)

Grade: A

Genre: Historical, Romance, Villainous crush

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: No

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

With that title don’t expect a HEA but there are plenty of sweet moments along the way to make you appreciate the journey.

Chae-kyung loves the Prince and the Prince loves Chae-kyung but the King wants to kill the Prince and Chae-kyung is loyal to the King but the King is a tyrant and everyone wants the Prince to take his throne. On top of that the King wants Chae-kyung. Big mess. Lots of feels.

The story is (very) loosely based on real-life Queen Dangyeong, which makes it even more poignant. I cried my eyes out at the end because I’m a big softy.

#17 Korean Odyssey

(화유기)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Fantasy

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Kinda

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

The show (very loosely based on Journey to the West) has its faults including the wishy-washy ending and the fact that Jin Seon-mi/Sam-jang starts off as a doormat but I ended up liking the relationship developing between the assholish Monkey god and the naive human girl more than I expected.

The side characters are compelling, and the banter and bickering between the deities work really well. If you grew up with Dragon ball, you’ll have a blast trying to match-up the Japanese and Korean names of everyone without looking up Wikipedia.

Lastly, not something I imagined saying after seeing him in Gumiho and Gu family book but Lee Seung-gi as Son Oh-gong = BDE *fans herself* 🥵

#18 Strong Girl Bong-soon

(힘쎈여자 도봉순)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Super-Heroine

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Trigger warning: Graphic depiction of violence against women

A++ super-heroine story, bad side characters

First, every girl should aspire to find a Min-hyuk in their life. Someone who'll love them because of their strength, and support them unconditionally. Someone who won't ask them to change or pretend to be somebody else.

Second, western media should learn that a super-heroine can HAVE IT ALL—the superpowers AND the love AND the family.

My only complaint with the show (and that's why I gave A- instead of A++) is the inclusion of many cringy side characters/situations that spoiled my overall enjoyment (see the caricatural flamboyant gay co-worker, Bong-soon’s mom hitting her dad, the mobsters...)

#19 The K2

(더 케이투)

Grade: B-

Genre: Modern, Political

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

The romance is bad and the political story far-fetched but Ji Chang-wook is 🔥🔥PEAK HOTTIE🔥🔥

That being said, I didn’t completely dislike the political intrigue and it was interesting to see the good guy working for the villains (sort of).

#20 Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok-joo

(역도요정 김복주)

Grade: A+

Genre: Modern, Coming of age

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Uplifting coming of age story and super sweet romance. Bok-joo (Lee Sung-kyung) & Joon-hyung (Nam Joo-hyuk) are precious children on top of being cutie-patooties. Bok-joo’s insecurities hit hard, especially if you’ve ever been outside the norm of beauty standards.

I liked how the show normalizes therapy and taking care of your mental health.

In one word…

SWAG!

#21 The scholar who walks the night

(밤을 걷는 선비)

Grade: B

Genre: Historical, Fantasy, Vampire, posing as the opposite sex

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Guilty pleasure.

Don’t ask me about the details of the main storyline, I’ve already forgotten most of it. Sometimes all you need is a show where a hundred-something years old good vampire with a sad backstory and the main girl who is thirsty for the good vampire are fighting a sexy evil vampire.

PS: Did I mention the sexy evil vampire?

#22 Romance is a bonus book

(로맨스는 별책부록)

Grade: A+

Genre: Modern, Friends to lovers

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Imagine reading a relaxing book under a cozy blanket while sipping hot cocoa. That’s how that series made me feel.

Everything is sweet and soft from the characters' fluffy jumpers to the soft palette of color used for the sets. People make books and love books. There’s a mystery but no unnecessary angst. If you need a break from everything, jump in that ship.

#23 Hotel Del Luna

(호텔 델루나)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Sorta

Watched on: Viki - Available on Netflix (FR) too

Interesting world-building and a good cast of side characters but the romance lacks a bit of oomph.

On the + side, the hotel sets are gorgeous and Man-wol's wardrobe is to kill for.

#24 Suspicious Partner

(수상한 파트너)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Star-crossed lovers in an office

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Toll serious who hates criminal falls for smoll weirdo falsely accused of murder. A must watch for anyone in search of a quirky romance.

#25 Touch your heart

(진심이 닿다)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

Tooth rotting sweetness. The series is just a pretext to watch two good looking people (Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na) being nice and awkward around each other. What do you need more? 0

Note: If you watched Goblin you can also pretend it's a spin-off series about the reincarnations of Grim Reaper and Sunny. 💡

#26 Because this is my first life

(이번 생은 처음이라)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Fake marriage

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

The Fake Marriage AU you’re looking for, mixed with slices of modern, messy, complicated life.

The main storyline revolves around Ji-ho an assistant drama screenwriter who struggles to find her place within the patriarchal structure of Korean society, and Se-hee, a socially incompetent computer designer who only cares for his cat and his mortgage. The way they end up in a fake marriage as well as the development of their relationship feels organic and doesn’t rely too heavily on comedy like it’s often the case with that trope.

The show also follows the stories of Ji-ho’s friends, Su-ji and Ho-rang who have different aspirations in life—Su-ji’s goal is to become CEO while Ho-rang only cares about becoming a housewife. I loved that the show makes a point to not pit women against each other and advocate living your life the way YOU want rather than trying to follow societal expectations of what love, work and marriage should look like.

Also they have the cutest cat.

#27 What's wrong with Secretary Kim?

(김비서가 왜 그럴까 )

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

I wish Secretary Kim had more agency in certain situations but the romance develops well and the horny moments are caliente 🥵🔥

#28 Where your eyes linger

(너의 시선이 머무는 곳에)

Grade: A++

Genre: Modern, BL, Coming of age, Friends to lovers

Episodes: 8

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

Bite-size BL gem to devour in one sitting.

Stellar acting from the two leads and the balance between fluff and angst is just right. There's no graphic violence that sometimes plagues yaoi and BL and the story is believable. I got emo remembering my first love.

#29 Live up to your name

(명불허전)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Historical, Time travel, Star-crossed lovers

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Trigger warning for graphic depiction of violence

Big surprise. I was looking for a cheesy comedy but it was actually a thoughtful story about humanism. I even teared up a little.

Trigger warning for needles. They do some pretty impressive procedures with those acupuncture needles.

#30 W - Two Worlds Apart

(더블유)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Imaginary men > Real men, especially when they're played by Lee Jong-suk. Nuf’ said.

Imaginary men > Real men, especially when they're played by Lee Jong-suk.

The silly premise hides a solid story that keeps you on your toes and I was suprised by the rollercoaster of emotions I went through.

“Option 3″

“That’s 4 fingers”

#31 Life

(라이프)

Grade: C

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Kinda

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Unless you want to learn how fucked up the private health sector is becoming in Korea, there's not much to gain watching this show.

The story starts off well though. The problem is that by the middle of the series the writers have dropped the main mystery (the circumstances surrounding the death of the director) to deliver an exposé on the political machinations of big corporations, and then shoehorn an explanation at the last minute (“it was all but a misunderstanding”). Very underwhelming.

The relationship between the two brothers played by Lee Dong-wook and Lee Kyu-hyung is the only bright spot.

#32 Pinocchio

(피노키오)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Fake family members who catch feels

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

On paper, the story sounds a little crazy but it all comes together nicely.

Lee Jong-suk and Park Shin-hye have great chemistry and deliver a stellar performance as “uncle” and “niece” (not related by blood) who can’t fight the romantic feelings they harbor for one another. The main storyline has enough twists to keep you entertained and surprised.

My only complaint is that it drags a little. 16 episodes would have been enough.

#33 My Holo Love

(나 홀로 그대)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Sci-fi

Episodes: 12

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Fake men > Real men

Imagine a Black Mirror episode about a love triangle between a woman suffering from face blindness, an emotionally supportive AI boyfriend and the disenchanted creator of said AI, minus the nihilism. *chef kiss*

#34 Legend of the blue sea

(푸른 바다의 전설)

Grade: B++

Genre: Modern, Fantasy, Fairy tale, Star-crossed lovers

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

Park Ji-eu (the writer) read the little mermaid and decided to give her a happy ending. Great chemistry between Lee Min-ho and Jun Ji-hyun but the spark is missing for me.

The antics of modern-day mermaid Shim Cheong are a little predictable and Joon-jae needs to be less of a control freak at times but the story remains enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised to see Shim Cheong’s character grow, making the power imbalance between the clueless mermaid and the con-artist less pronounced by the end of the series.

The side characters are interesting but underused, and I wish Tae-oh was more developed. On the other hand, the Joseon area sets and costumes are absolutely gorgeous (Don’t tell anyone but Joseon!Lee Min-ho is hotter than Modern!Lee Min-ho 🥵)

#35 Tale of Arang / Arang and the Magistrate

(아랑사또전)

Grade: B

Genre: Historical, Fantasy,

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

One word: Campy.

Interesting lore but the pacing is a little off—there’s a lot of back and forth between the characters and the locations and the love triangle doesn't add much.

#36 My ID is Gangnam Beauty / Gangnam Beauty

(내 아이디는 강남미인)

Grade: A+

Genre: Modern, Coming of age

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

If you’ve ever been bullied for your looks, you’re gonna bawl your eyes out.

The show does a great job of calling out the unhealthy beauty standards imposed on Korean women but the topic is universal enough for the story to resonate with everyone. I love that you never see Mi-rae’s old face because it’s not our perception of her lack of beauty that matters but the fact she suffers greatly. Don’t you hate in western shows when they take a beautiful actress, give her a pair of glasses or a fat suit and call her ugly, making sure the audience feels shittier about themselves? Here, the writers concentrate on Mi-rae’s transformation and her coping with the consequences of her decision to do plastic surgery.

It’s also not a revenge fantasy where the ugly duckling suddenly becomes the most popular girl at school. Being a “Gangnam beauty” leads to a new form of suffering.

Romance-wise, it’s the slowest burn of slow burns because Mi-rae and Do Kyung-seok are the most socially awkward beans on the planet. I love them, Your Honor.

#37 Tale of Nokdu

(조선로코-녹두전)

Grade: A

Genre: Historical, Posing as the opposite sex

Episodes: 32 x 30mns

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki - Now available on Netflix (FR)

Fun and lighthearted all the way through.

The story of a guy who puts on a dress to investigate a village of widows could have gone very wrong but it was well handled. It’s refreshing to see the classic trope of posing as the opposite sex reversed and Jang Dong-yoon is never cringy when he’s pretending to be Lady Kim Nok-soon.

#38 Bride of Habaek / Bride of the Water God

(하백의 신부 2017)

Grade: B

Genre: Modern, Fantasy

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Content warning: Crime against fashion

Promising premise and lore (I'm interested in reading the original comics now) but the writing fails to deliver an epic romance and a cathartic ending. Moreover, the sets lack imagination (or money?) and in the end I failed to ever feel immersed in a fantasy world.

The unfortunate consequence of the clumsy writing is that the male characters who are meant to be arrogant/confident Gods (Habaek and By-ryeom) sound like they're negging their love interests more than wooing them, and the relationship between Mu-ra and By-ryeom particularly irked me.

#39 Strangers from Hell / Hell is other people

(타인은 지옥이다)

Grade: A+

Genre: Modern, Psychological Thriller

Episodes: 10

Happy Ending: Spoiler

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Content warning: Violence

What a departure from everything else in that list! Absolutely worth a watch if you enjoy thrillers and shows like Hannibal. If psychological horror isn’t your cup of tea though, you might give it a pass.

The storyline and the characters are a little cliché (it goes with the genre) but the cinematography and photography are fantastic. You can notice how the pension becomes more and more sinister throughout the series via the use of dark greens and browns and pale yellows, as opposed to the mundanity and coldness of the city (greys, and cold blues).

Last but not least, the acting is top-tiers. Im Siwan does a great job at portraying Jong-woo, an aspiring crime novelist who slowly loses his marbles but the true revelation for me is Lee Dong-wook. After seeing him so many times in roles where he plays awkward yet charming men who can barely express emotions, I was intrigued to see him take on the role of a serial killer, and holy cow, he's the perfect mix of sinister and alluring. Towards the end of the series, his character Moon-jo acts like a black-hole whenever he appears in a scene—a towering, dark presence who sucks the light out of the room (If he carries any of that darkness in the upcoming Tale of Gumiho, it’s gonna be *chef kiss*).

#40 Empress Ki

(기황후)

Grade: A

Genre: Historical, posing as the opposite sex

Episodes: 51

Happy Ending: From a certain point of view

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Trigger warning for violence against women (not graphic but implied)

51 episodes.

Fifty.One.Episodes.

That's a lot of episodes considering the story starts with the ending.

Did I enjoy this show? Yes, very much so. Do I think it's for everyone? Nope.

You'll enjoy Empress Ki if you're into old-school historical sagas or you wished Game of thrones had no gratuitous nudity and violence. If you’re looking for an historically accurate biography of the real empress Ki though, then look away because Empress Ki is basically a lengthy fanfiction trying to justify how the Goryeo native Seung-nyang married the wimpy Emperor of the Yuan dynasty whilst trying to portray her as loyal to her motherland and to her first love, the Crown Prince of Goryeo.

Personally, I didn’t care for the love triangle formed by Seung-nyang (Ha Ji-won), Wang-yoo (Joo Jin-mo) and Toghon Temür (Ji Chang-wook) but I liked the politics and the backstabbing. Also, contrary to GoT, the bad guys get their comeuppance at the end so it makes watching the side characters die less painful.

#41 Meow, the secret boy / Welcome

(어서와)

Grade: B-

Genre: Modern, Modern fantasy

Episodes: 24 x 35mns

Happy Ending: I guess

Watched on: Viki

How do I put it? It's not *terribad* but it's not *good* either.

I was super on board with the concept—if Lee Seung-gi can bang a nine-tailed fox in My girlfriend is a gumiho, I have zero issues with Sol ah, our heroine, falling in love with Hong-jo the cat-person after being dumped for no reason by Jae-sun her boyfriend—but it didn’t exactly develop that way, and as soon as they explained why Jae-sun had broken up with Sol-ah, the writers lost me because I like when things happen for a reason.

#42 Clean with a passion for now

(일단 뜨겁게 청소하라!!)

Grade: A-

Genre: Modern, Rom-Com

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Super zany and tropey but that’s why it works so well. The only reason I’m giving it a minus is because it’s trying to be woke but in the end there’s still a lot of unsolicited grabbing and some iffy remarks/pick-up lines said by every male characters (IRL that’s the kind of story that ends up with a restraining order and a lawsuit for sexual harassment).

#43 Mystic pop-up bar

(쌍갑포차)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Fantasy

Episodes: 12

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Trigger warning: Heavy themes (miscarriage, pregnancy, loss of a child, death of loved ones)

You know how the meme goes... Sometimes a family is a hot-tempered bar owner, a cursed kid and an ex-Afterlife-Police officer with a secret past.

It took me a few episodes to get into it, but once the characters were established it became really enjoyable.

The tone of the series leans toward wacky but the core of the story is actually pretty dark if you look into it. Every grudge they solve for their “clients” gives a clue about Wol-joo’s personal story and by the last episode I was crying my eyes out.

Last but not least, Wol-joo’s collection of modernized hanboks is *chef kiss*

#44 My secret Terrius

(내 뒤에 테리우스)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern, Action, Comedy, Bromance

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

An enjoyable action drama to watch with your family or your significant other.

Koreans prove that you can write a story about a black ops agent on the run who becomes a childminder without reeking of toxic masculinity. Contrary to American comedies where the manly-man-hero working undercover is incompetent and believes that working with children is a woman’s job and a waste of his manly-man talents until he has an epiphany of some sorts, Kim Bon (played by So Ji-sub) never once expresses discomfort to the idea of looking after two kids. In spite of his sober demeanor, he’s a caring and attentive person from the start and watching him gradually becoming a part of this spunky family while investigating a national security threat made my heart go awww.

Opposite him, fearless and resourceful mom Go Ae-rin (played Jung In-sun) brings a lot of energy, and the twins are absolutely adorable.

#45 Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

(달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

Grade: A--

Genre: Historical

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: No

Watched on: Random streaming site

Don’t get attached—Moon Lovers is the missing link between Empress Ki and Boys over flowers, but with a sad ending.

I did binge watch the series but there are some frustrating aspects to it that prevented me from giving a perfect score, notably the fact that Wang So remains possessive and demanding with Hae Soo throughout the years—for instance “You’re my person” is a romantic statement until it evolves into “You can never leave me.”

The other problem of the series is that Lee Ji-eun (UI) does cute and goofy really well, but she doesn’t have the emotional range needed to portray a character who goes through many heartbreaks and betrayals. As a result, Hae Soo appears a little fickle in her infatuations with the princes.

That being said if you’re a sucker for tragic romance and you believe that power corrupts even the purest of love, you’ll have a blast.

#46 Forest

(포레스트)

Grade: B++

Genre: Modern, Romance

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

UST in the woods (Dat first kiss 🥵🥵🥵)

The characters and the story are a little cliché but who doesn’t love a story where the protagonists are clearly attracted to each other but can’t act on their desires because their moral values are opposite?

*slams fist*

San Hyeok is your typical heartless businessman who refuses to confront his childhood trauma, and Yeong Jae is a surgeon who suffers from panic attacks and cares too much about other people. They’re both good looking and fate brings them to a remote village in the middle of the forest where they have to share a house. Really, I wonder what’s gonna happen?

#47 100 Days My Prince / Hundred days husband

(백일의 낭군님)

Grade: B+

Genre: Historical

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

Trigger warning: Important character death.

Cute and charming but also very annoying at times. Obviously, the story is tropey af (fake marriage doubled with amnesia, you can’t really beat that) but it also includes elements I’ve never seen in any other dramas like the fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant with another man’s child (le gasp!). The things that annoy me the most were the unnecessary flip-flopping of the heroine towards the end of the show for the sake of creating artificial drama (just let them be together FFS!) and the fact that the male characters take a lot of decisions for Yeon Hong-shim.

Romance wise, Do Kyung-soo and Nam Ji-hyun are really cute together but in the end I found myself more interested in the political intrigue and the side characters than the main romance because slow burn has its limit. In essence, it’s the perfect drama to watch with your conservative family because whilst the main couple is living under the same roof and is technically married they don’t get frisky.

#48 I Am Not A Robot (로봇이 아니야)

Grade: A++

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Angsty with a good pay-off.

With a premise like that, things could have gone wrong really quickly but the writers managed to write a story that isn’t a man wanting to fuck a robot because real women are scary so big kudos for them. Seeing Min-kyu celebrating his Roomba’s birthday because he has no other friends will instantly melt your heart and from that point on you’ll cheer for his recovery. The show has the right amount of angst without becoming a mess and they handle the big reveal very well, making sure to show how hurt both Min-kyu and Ji-ah are by the situation, without making you doubt that they can find each other again. The other strong point of the show is that it’s not just about romance, it’s also about friendship and learning to let other people in your life.

The acting is incredible to the point that by the end I wondered if Yoo Seung-ho and Chae Soo-bin were making out in front of my salad or if I was still watching the characters Min-kyu and Ji-ah being lovey dovey.

#49 Sungkyunkwan Scandal (성균관 스캔들)

Grade: A

Genre: Historical, Posing as the opposite gender

Episodes: 20

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Viki

Hana zakari no kimi tachi he with gats.

This show checks so many boxes when it comes to my favourite tropes story-wise and character-wise that I instantly fell in love with it. It might feel a little dated for a younger audience and it definitely suffers from the second male lead syndrome (who wants unseasoned boiled chicken when there are not just one but two juicy rotisserie chickens on the table next to you?!) but it’s still very much enjoyable. Also, they don’t shy away from using the word “homosexuality” and having one of the second lead confessing to having romantic feelings for his friend (I’ll take any scrap of bi-representation, okay?)

#50 It’s Okay to not be okay (사이코지만 괜찮아)

Grade: A

Genre: Modern

Episodes: 16

Happy Ending: Yes

Watched on: Netflix (FR)

Found family.

In spite of one ridiculous plot twist (that I was aware of when I started the show) this show has made me feel all the feelz. The three main actors all did a phenomenal job portraying their characters in all their complexity and fragility and I ended up crying so many cathartic tears in the second to last & the last episodes.The relationship between Sang-tae and Gang-tae is one of the best sibling relationships I’ve seen on-screen in a long time while the romance between Moon-yeong and Gang-tae blends perfectly elements of comedy and melodrama. Mental illness isn’t treated as something to be ashamed of, whilst showing that you can grow and recover from trauma and finding your own happiness.

PSA from my boyfriend, who dropped the show before the end:

The plot twist is so stupid that it takes away from the rest of the series. In my opinion it negated the positive portrayal of mental illness built up until then. They completely lost me.

^ We discussed a lot about it which is why I wanted to share his POV to balance my own review.

FMK Gord, Bif, Derby 😬

well fuck man OWNSIWNZIWMSKW THIS IS A REALLY HARD DECISION WINEOSKS

MAINLY BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO FUCK OR MARRY ANY OF THEM AKXNWKDKD-

hmmm well actually this is easier than i thought it was gonna be haha

fuck bif because...bro that would be an amazing opportunity. an ANGELIC opportunity. i would do the devil’s tango with this dumb bitch and then i would get to live the rest of my life knowing that i Experienced The Touch of God without having to kill him or be committed to him.

marry derby. this is NOT because he’s my favorite or because i love him, but imagine...i get married to derby harrington. the harringtons are iffy since i’m not blood related, but i’m asian, and we all know how much white AND asian people love to romanticize mixed babies. plus the harringtons are probably racist and think that me being asian will automatically assure that their grandchildren will be academically gifted.

we get married in this church filled with ancient relics, a fairly large ceremony since derby and his family want something expensive and flashy. our families get along for the most part, although it’s more for appearances rather than actual liking. my dress is beautiful, derby’s suit is as handsome as ever. we exchange vows; we share a kiss; i have a fat diamond on my finger and he has a gold band that matches.

he’s takes after his father and becomes a business man that travels across the entire world for business, leaving me alone in our not-so-humble mansion overlooking the atlantic. he makes enough money so that i don’t have to work, meaning i’m left at home to my own devices. i read, i write, i watch everything on TV, i befriend the help around the house, and i pick up hobbies throughout the years i never thought i’d take an interest in. i learn how to crochet, and my mom teaches me how to cook and garden. derby is home a few times every couple months, and everytime we share a quaint dinner and sleep in the same bed.

eventually, i get tired of the tedium. my plan was never to be some measly trophy wife, no, i have aspirations that are grand and bountiful; aspirations that are the true fueling force for this marriage.

derby comes home one spring evening in what is supposed to be surprise visit; he looks gorgeous under the moonlight. i encourage him to come inside, to continue our tradition of sporadic late night dinners: “your trip must have been so long! knowing you, you probably skipped lunch too.”

we settle down at opposite sides of the dining table. the silverware gleams under the golden waves of the chandeliers, the same golden hue as derby’s sickeningly sweet eyes. a maid brings out our dishes, and we feast. there’s a nice balance of food, with juicy steaks, lobster, plates of fruit, and a salad with lots of tomatoes and carrots that i’ve grown in our own garden. he eats a little of everything. i personally avoid the salad despite being proud of its contents, since salad has never been to my taste.

we talk lightheartedly about menial things, like how his business trips are and what currently has me occupied. when he finally lets out a yawn, we go to bed. he tells me that this visit is short lived, that he must leave once again in the morning. i simply smile and tell him that i understand. after all, he is a man tied to his work; what kind of wife would i be if i held him back?

we sleep.

during the late hours of the night, when the moon is strung up high and the crickets chirp in anticipation for what is to come, there’s the sound of a vase shattering, franctic calls erupting from down the hall. i look to my left, but derby is no longer beside me. i sit up in confusion. what’s happening?

a butler rushes into my room.

“mr. harrington has collapsed.”

all fades to white noise.

derby is rushed to the hospital. his are unable to arrive, currently vacationing in guam, but their concern is recognizable through the phone. i assure them everything will be fine, but i know it isn’t my place to make this promise.

he doesn’t make it.

the funeral is fairly large, held in a church to the same repertoire as the one we married in, since derby would want to go out of this world expensive and flashy. everyone is dressed in black, and the harringtons sob at their lost opportunity for a somewhat ethnically ambiguous baby. i shed a tear or two. it’s a tragic situation.

the harringtons eventually dry their tears, and pull me aside to break tragic news.

poisoning. hemlock poisoning.

ah.

i paint an image of shock and pain. i’m completely agonized over this news! we had just thought that...derby passed from stress, or some natural cause! but...poisoning?

who could have possibly known?

derby’s will is straight to the point. his fortune and wealth was to be inherited by his children but...we never did have the opportunity for children, hm? so, by default...

i get everything.

i ghost the harringtons. i donate large sums of the money to charities. i let my parents retire early and they go back to vietnam. i travel the world and never stay in one spot. i’m free.

derby harrington is dead and i’m off living my best life.

anyway so yeah uhh i marry derby for the money, and i guess i automatically have to kill gord :((

but instead of kill could it be like,, me and him just get to chill and be nothing more than friends??? because i really don’t wanna kill gord, man, he’s too cool for death 🥺

Can I request a unrequited love with Bucky? The one where reader is in love with Bucky for a long time and knows he doesn't love her back so never tells him. One day he is heartbroken and she sympathizes. And he realizes she is heartbroken over him..

Love Hurts

What was more painful than an unrequited love? Seeing the love of your life in love with another woman? Knowing they cuddled up in bed at night, she had the right to kiss him whenever she wanted.

You were without a doubt in love with James 'Bucky' Barnes and you have been for the past 5 years of your time as an avenger, and he joined shortly after Steve brought him in from Wakanda.

Everything about the soldier appealed to you, his ravishing good looks, his laugh, oh his laugh, it melted you every time. His smile, heart eyes everytime he did. His sense of humour, he was more laid back than Steve and told the cheesiest of jokes which made you cackle like an old crow. His shoulder length locks which were often tied in a bun. Everything about him was perfect, but you knew men like him didn't go for girls like you, so your little crush you buried so deeply.

He was so happy when he got into a relationship with a girl named Holly. She was brunette, long curly hair. It broke you and you ended up distancing yourself from him.

One night you were walking the long hallway and walked past his room, hearing a loud sob from inside. You figured it was a nightmare but this sounded different.

Quietly you entered his room, the moonlight was shining brightly through the open blinds, Bucky was leaning against his bed base on the floor hugging his knees to his chest, his hands gripping and tugging at his hair as he cried. The sound piercing your heart and it was too great to ignore.

"Bucky? Bucky what happened?" You sat next to him, rubbing his arm up and down soothingly. His breath hitched, taking some deep breaths before he looked at you, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"She left me." He whispered, breaking out into another sob. "she left me Y/N, what did I do wrong?" He cries louder, pulling you into a tight hug as he fists your nightshirt, sobbing into your shoulder as he rocks you back and forth. Your hands rub up and down his back, tears rolling down your own cheeks.

"Shh it's okay Buck. You're gonna be okay. I'm here, I promise I won't hurt you." You whisper in his ear as his breathing relaxes. "You didn't do anything wrong Buck. Not everyone would break your heart.."

Bucky stilled his rocking, and pulled back with a shocked expression on his face. Piecing together the words you just said and analysing the meaning behind them.

"Y-you like me?" He asks after a couple of agonizing minutes. You bite your lip, fearing the worst now.

@tu-sonrisaaa-te-amooo asked: Could you do the 8 and 17 fluff with Joel? tht would be cute (ik u hate him lol u could do zabdi if u want)

Lmao I don't hate him Bby..he can just be a bit dramatic sometimes...that's all 🙆‍♀️

Prompts: (I did a bit of alterations in it so excuse me)

“I want to dance through an army of fireflies with you.” (Prompt 8)

“My hand was made to fit into yours. That’s all there is to it.” (Prompt 17)

So Y/N is your name

~ ~ ~ means change of scenario.

✓ ✓ ✓ means the end.

So...ahem...this went a bit more than I intended it to go...I swore I would just write drabbles but I guess old habits die hard? So this is it? I hope you like it Dia! 💕😅 (oh new nickname alert)

This song is beautiful and sorta inspired me! 💕

- - -

Y/N and Joel were friends ever since they were little kids...They had met when Joel had gotten lost wandering around in a series of pet shops staring at pets (especially various dog breeds and puppies). When his senses had hit him..he understood he had gotten lost..he began to feel nervous and uneasy and let out childish sobs as he began to run around looking for his mother.

He barely paid attention to anything around him as he only focused in searching for his mother that which eventually ends up with him bumping onto someone.

"Ouch! Why can't you watch where the hell they are going?!" A voice speaks

Joel falls down as he looks at the person speaking...a little girl who held a husky in her arms on the floor angrily glaring at him

"I'm so sorry...I didn't..." He begins as he stares at the husky...

"It's fine...Just watch where you're going at least the- -" She begins

"Is that the Siberian Husky?" Joel asks interrupting her as he stands up

"I'm kind of offended that you interrupted me...But yes...yes it is.." She replies as she possessively holds her husky

"Can...Can I pet it?" He asks as he looks at the husky eagerly

"Well sure I guess..." She says as Joel begins petting the husky.

A few minutes later, the duo had already begun talking about...dogs things in general..

"Y/N! There you are!!" I was looking all over for you!" A voice speaks, tone concerned

"Oh..Mumma..I was just on my way back but then this boy bumped into me and apparently loves Zachary a bit too much.." She says as she points at Joel

And that's when our oblivious little Joel realizes that he was lost and was supposedly supposed to find his mother..not stand here fanboying over a husky.

His eyes widen as he looks around, searching for his mother a.k.a his official/ main intention...Panic strikes his system as he realizes he was obviously potentially lost..

"Are you okay Joel?" Y/N asks

"I'm LOST!" Joel replies as he looks at her letting out childish sobs

"Oh god...Mumma...Help him!" Y/N says

"Listen lil boy...we'll find your mother...do you like know her number or anything.." Y/N mother asks

"Yes..." He replies as he tells her the number letting out soft sobs

The husky jumps onto Joel's arms as it began licking his face. Joel stopped crying slowly as he began smiling a bit.

"Oh my god...He is just so adorable..." Joel says as he pets the husky

"Yeah...he seemingly likes you..strange..he's not pretty comfortable with strangers.." Y/N comments

Soon Joel's mother comes in, her eyes scanning around, her eyes instantly gleaming with happiness as she finds Joel.

"Joel!!!" She says as she runs over and hugs him, Zachary jumping out of Joel's arms onto the ground.

"Mumma!!" Joel yells as he hugs her, sobbing quietly

Y/N stepped away a bit letting them have their moment.

"Thank you for finding him! He's always roaming around..pet stores...or just everywhere in general...I'm so sorry for his careless actions...and all the inconveniences he has caused you..." Joel's mother apologizes

"Oh not at all...He wasn't a bother at all.." Y/N's mother reassures

"Joel...at least next time don't go around without telling your mum! If you want a pet come over to my place...We can play with Zachary together..." Y/N says as she smiles at him, holding her mother's hand

"Okay..I will." Joel says smiling at her as he pets Zachary one last time...

"Bye Joel! See you...well...soon?" She says as she walks off..

That was how it all began...After that, one day he had turned up at her place surprisingly...They were next door neighbours...And eventually they spent a lot of time together..which lead to their everlasting friendship which began at the age of 6..

~ ~ ~

"Joel...when am I going to see you again?" Y/N asks as she lazily sat on his bed whilst she helped him with her luggage.

"Around 9 months...I'll be back soon.." Joel says as he puts in another shirt

"Oh come on...that's technically the entire year!" Y/N comments as she rolls her eyes

"I swear I would have taken you if it wasn't for your Fashion Designing Course..If that had been completed..then you could have joined.." Joel says as he stuffs in something else

"Yeah yeah..it's important right...I'm going to miss you Jo..." She says as she looks at him

"Me too..I wish there was something I could do.." Joel says as he walks over towards her.

"Just promise that you'll facetime me before all your performances..and just text me once at least every day...send me those lame audios of yours...I don't care.." Y/N says as she holds his hand...

He was still here...not gone..why did he have to leave?

"Hey...I'll text you and call you everyday.. You're my best friend...If I wouldn't call you.. who else would I?" He asks as he holds her hand and hugs her

~ ~ ~

"Wow! That was a spectacular show right boys?" Joel asks obviously excited as he walked behind the stage...

"Yes..exhausted but overwhelming..." Richard replies as they walk into the room backstage

Zabdiel immediately falls onto the couch, Erick cools off, Chris begins to fix his hair

"God..Why hasn't Y/N even seen my message! She didn't even facetime me today or even call me! Isn't that just mean?!?" Joel comments as he slumps onto the couch

"Yes...call her mean and every other negative word you could think of Ho-eL! She brought her arse from miles away, sat on a 13 hour flight just so she could surprise her best friend and yet you call her that?" A voice speaks from behind him

"Wait...a minute..." Joel trails as he instantly turns behind and sees Y/N

"Y/N- - !!!!" His tone surprised and shocked as he leaps off the couch and hugs her, a few years falling through his cheeks in the rush of excitement.

"Curls!!" She yells as she hugs him.

They hug on forever none of them every wanting to let go...Until an intentional cough from the guys pulls them away

"Ah...err...Guys! Meet my bestie Y/N!" Joel says as he grabs her hand heading towards the boys

"We talked Curls...I talked to everyone and they all helped me hide...You guys were amazing...The performance was just fantastic!" She comments as the boys yell out a chorus of thanks

"Okay so everyone except me knew that you were here?" Joel asks

"Duh curls...I couldn't sneak into backstage without their help..." Y/N says referring to the boys.

Joel grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty room and pulls her into a hug again

"I'm so glad to have you here...Thank you for the support.." Joel says

"Wow wow...I never knew I'd see a sweet side of you Joel..." Y/N remarks

"Shut up and just hug me..." Joel says rolling his eyes

She returns the gesture as they kept hugging, an odd source of comfort filling both their veins.

~ ~ ~

"Joel...this is beautiful..." Y/N comments as she looks around the woods.

It was a small forest sort of place filled with thick green trees and a small river which gleamed with reflections of the littered stars that laid scattered in the skies.

"I know right..." Joel says as he looks at the river and at her..

They spent a lot of time making jokes and just talking about life...he had just returned from tour a few days before and thought he ought to spend some quality time with his best....friend...

He almost sighed at his own thoughts..he had begun to have feelings for her...but he didn't want to let them interplay..he didn't want to lose her...he needed her as a friend at least in his life..his feelings didn't have any part in this...but he couldn't help but wonder everytime she smiled..was she thinking about him? Did she think of him..as something more than a friend?

"Joel..Joel...HOEL!" Y/N yells.

Joel's eyes widen in shock as he falls off the log he sat on because of how loud she yelled and how distracted he was..

"Oh god...you are so clumsy sometimes Curls! Wait..actually all the damn time!" She says as she holds out her hand, Joel gratefully accepting her extended hand as she pulls him up.

"Look at that Y/N..My hand was made to fit into yours..” Joel comments as he sits up

Y/N face floods with a tint of pink as she nervously laughs it off..but never lets go off his hand..

"Of course you dummy...We are besties so god made sure it would work that way.." She replies uneasily

"Y/N I want to tell you something.." He says interrupting her from speaking further

An awkward moment of painful silence fills the air...

"What is it Joel?" She asks nervously

"It's.. it's..." Joel begins but his anxiety kicks in.

"If you don't tell her now...you'll never tell her or know if she felt the same.. you'll probably live in regret but you have to! " His inner voice encourages as he takes a deep breath

"I...I like you..." He breathes out

"I like you too Joel! You are my best fr- -" Y/N begins

"No Y/N...I like you more than a best friend.. you make me feel warm and mushy on the inside..I don't feel anything else around anyone else...You make me feel safe, happy. You understand me...We fight..but that's only because you care..but I like you in a different manner...You make me want to the cringy -est stuffs like taking couple pictures, share smoothies together, go on dates...and make me wanna dance with you in between an army of fireflies under the moonlight and what nots.. and to think that you make these cliché activities look normal...that's weird and definitely not something I feel one fine day.. I knew I always had these feelings..But I realized them...only recently...I understand if you don't feel the same..but just so you know I'll keep loving you..on and on..." He finishes off

"Who said I never had feelings for you Joel?" She asks "Every night... I'm just waiting and wondering if you have found someone that'll make you feel like that..Because why not? There are millions out there..prettier, hotter and just beautiful girls out there waiting for you so why would you choose me over them? Yeah... nothing.."

"Y/N I don't care...for you were..are the only girl I've had my eyes on...from the start.. today and forever..." Joel says as he holds both her palms. (I'm low-key swooning 🤧)

Before she could answer, Joel extends his free hand and pulls her up.

They walk over towards a place where the moonlight reflected brightly and the clear water flowing gently, causing small ripples as if it was singing a song.

"Well...can I have a dance with you?" Joel asks as he extends his hand out in a sorta gentleman style

Y/N nods softly as she takes his hand, his hand instantly softly interlocking with hers as she rests her free hand on his shoulder, his free hand holding a space above her waist securely..

As they began to softly dance in sync, an army of fireflies had encapsulated around them causing her to smile wide.

"Look Joel...True to your 'cliché' wishes..the fireflies are here..." Y/N jokes about it as Joel's face floods with a bright pink colour.

They enjoyed the overall aura, the silence suddenly turning comfortable...as they merely enjoyed each others' presence without any words being exchanged.

"So..Y/N..." Joel begins

"Hmm?" She asks as they continue dancing

"Will..will you be my girlfriend?" He asks nervously

Y/N stops dancing as she tries to catch Joel's gaze..but the boy would look at anyone or anything but her..

Y/N stood on her toes as she holds his face with both hands as she stares at his beautiful dark brown orbs, her eyes filled with nothing but love..that too only for him.

Joel looks at her nervously and before he could speak anything, she softly presses her lips against his. He instinctively bends down a bit to reach upto her height as his hands wrap around an area a bit above her waist.

She pulls away, Joel's arms still firmly fixated above her waist as he looks at her

"Did that answer your question Pimentel?" She asks, her tone filled with sassiness

"For real Y/N?" He asks in disbelief

"Yes Joel..For real...I promise you...I'll be there for you..." Y/N says as Joel smiles

"I love you Y/N.." He says

"I love you only..Joel Pimentel.." Y/N says as Joel pulls her in for another kiss.

✓ ✓ ✓

The Ending kinda sucked tbh...but anyways hehehe... I'll try to improve! 😅🙃

Always

Genre: Angst, 1800s au(-ish, it’s set in that time), merman au, slight fluff

Words: 3807

Paring: Merman Seokjin x villigar reader

Warning!: Major character death, blood, mentions of forced marriage, impalement

a/n: I have been gone for a little while but I have been writing alot, a whole series with Baekhyun, it’s just I want to finish the one with Jongdae and I haven’t had the inspiration for it, but I’m trying to get it out. :)

Gif is not mine

“NO!”your throat felt raw as you screamed through tears. The night was lit up with flames and quivering with roars of anger.

You tried to fight the hands holding you back, hair falling out from its updo, all so you could see him, save him from the sharp metal and burning fires. They deemed him as a monster, something which shouldn't exist, but you loved him.

“P-please..”sobs echoed around you and through a small gap between all the bodies could you see him, his beautiful eyes filled with sorrow.

The moon sailed over the blue skie, summer warmth still lingering around you. Your lemon colored dress was hiked up to your knees, feet dipped in the calm stream separating green fields. Where you sat, on the wooden dock, were you hidden, grass and vegetation growing so tall it covered you. Beside you were a basket filled with different flowers you had found walking from home. Your mother had said it was time for you to find a husband but all the boys in your village weren't what you looked for. They were plain and smiled to every girl walking by. It wasn't what you wanted, no, you wanted someone who lit up the sky with his eyes or danced over clouds when he simply walked the many gravel roads. You wouldn't find someone like that were you lived, far from the cities and their beautiful people.

A sigh escaped your lips, back landing on the deck while your skirt puffed around you. In your hand was a purple flower twirling against the ever darkening sky, so pretty and soft in the blooming world. You were not paying attention to anything around you but the flower and the stars igniting in the sky, so when the water surface broke were you completely calm.

The man watched you with curious eyes, following the way your fingers danced in the sky. He had seen you often down by the stream and all your smiles had captured his gaze. You shone and he wanted to know you but he was something else, not what you were, and he was scared to frighten you with the tail keeping him forever in the water.

The sun was hot over your head, hair tight in the bun your mother made you wear every day. You were supposed to be in the village, selling eggs, but after an hour were you slipping away, leaving your older sister flirting with a boy. Here by the water were you happier, basking in the quiet and the stories you could create, fairy tales dancing across clouds and flying like butterflies. A giddy chuckle escaped you, a sound his pointy ears caught. He loved the lightness of your giggle, slowly swimming closer, the closest he had ever gotten. Black hair hid behind reed, gazing at your figure laying down. A small smile played on his lips, fin slowly making him get closer again. But suddenly were you sitting up, grinning, but tensed when your bright orbs landed on him. You gasped, eyes trailing the shimmering tail changing between light blue and lavender. He panicked, disappearing under the water just as your lips parted to speak.

What was that? It couldn't have been a human but he had the face of a man, lips plump with dark eyebrows farming his face, raven hair wet. It had been his eyes, lilac mixing with silver, and the flicker of the fine breaking the surface to catch light. You searched for him, tried to find whoever had come to you, curious but not scared.

Later that night were you walking the path down to the water again, road only lit by the moon, but you felt fine, grass stroking your fingertips. The man like creature hadn't left your mind ever since you saw him, making it so you couldn't concentrate on anything but the arches of his eyes. He was captivating, he was all the colors of a rainbow while your life was grey, even in the beautiful summer world.

His back was broad, skin seemed to be shimmering in the moonlight where he sat on the deck. He hadn't noticed you yet, leaving you gazing over his wide shoulders, the slight point to his ears. Where legs should have been was a tail, playing with water and moon drops.

Your steps were muffled by grass but he still managed to hear you walking when you got close. The man like creature turned fast, eyes wide as he watched you looking at him. He seemed so scared of you, like you would kill him, when all you wanted was to talk. You saw how he was about to jump down from the dock, panic made you call out to him.

“Wait!”stumbling forward, you were sure you would see an empty and clam stream where he had landed to escape, but you were wrong. In the middle of it all was he, watching you with watchful orbs.

“Who are you?”the question hung thick around you, him sinking further down into the water. His jaw was covered, lilac eyes having thin pupils.

“S-Seokjin…”his voice was lighter than you thought, carried through the air like a bird’s song.

“Seokjin?..My name is Y/n, it’s nice to meet you!”you smiled to him, shoes landing beside you as you sat down, water cradling your legs which he watched before glancing back at his fin.

“..It’s nice to meet you too..”he swam closer but stayed far enough away so you couldn't touch him, only followed the moonlight as it played with his hair.

“So..what are you?”leaning forward, you grinned down at him. This time weren't your hair up, instead free to move around your face. It looked soft to Jin, hugging your jaw.

“A merman..”your face widened, orbs skaning over his tail. A merman? You had only heard one story about them, the creatures who sang and killed, but he didn't look like the scaly things with sharp teeth you thought they would be.

“Really?..wow..”with your last words did everything fall silent, just the two of you watching the other, listening to the soft hum of an insect.

Jin let himself relax, glad to finally make his existence known without fear of being killed or hunted down, you were fine with him, smiling softly with shoulders draped in soft blues. He wanted to touch you, feel the warmth humans always wore, the sun having blessed their skin to be beautiful. But time had gone by fast and you could see the moon slowly climbing down the sky to rest once again, its pearl light no longer lingering over Jin’s night hair.

“..I should go..”there was disappointment in his heart at you words but understanding as well. You couldn't stay forever, no matter how much he wanted you to. He wanted to know about your world and what made you smile so wide everytime you got to the water, to his world.”..But maybe I can come back tomorrow? Will you be here then?”

Would he? He wasn't sure, scared for other humans, however, the want to see you again when the sun kissed you, overpowered his rationality. So Jin nodded, wet hair dripping with water which trickled down until they came home to the stream. That’s when you got a glimpse of some gills on his neck, a lighter scar like look to them.They still didn't change his beauty and the way he never dulled, lilac eyes shining even in the purgatory between day and night.

“Goodnight then Seokjin, I hope I meet you again..”

“Goodnight Y/n, rest well..”

Summer brought warmth and a growth to your land as it went on, flowers blooming on the side of the stream you walked almost everyday. Jin swam slowly in the water, watching you with lilac eyes as you grinned happily. He had been taken by you the second he saw you but was completely out of reach from rescuing when you smiled his way. Never had he felt so alive and not alone in the deep blue.

Grass tickled over your legs, let you easily see the whites, oranges and yellows. The flowers were soft in your grasp, fingers moving to intertwine them with each other until a crown laid steady in your palm, the king’s crown of your story. Birds sang in the sky, created a melody you could listen to forever, while Jin could watch you enjoying yourself forever. You may be human and he may be a merman but he still felt the deepest of feeling for you, a twisting storm of butterflies and black holes.

Light fell around you, clothed your whole body while nature seemed have given you some of its beauty with healthy hair and the angels of your cheeks. Seokjin had never seen a human who could rival his charm but maybe it was your smile, a smile like the moon with orbs like the stars. Your fingers moved softly over petals and his felt the chills of water, he could never forget how different you two were.

But so you turned to him, smiling widely, eyes sparkling like the pearls on the ocean floor. In your hands was a flower crown, neatly braided with different colors flowing through. Standing by the edge of the water, you leaned forward, motioning for Seokjin to come closer. He listened, watched how close you stood to his world but still stopping on your side. The crown was dropped on his head, yellow and white contrasting his black hair with the beauty of night and dusk. It looked good on him, lilac eyes glancing up at the small specks of life on land. If only you could be with him like others could with their love.

You spent most of your days by the stream, close to him but never touching, like there was a wall between you two, a wall which would appear when you tried to reach for him, to feel. Jin felt it too, the hunger to hold your warmth, but he was content just seeing you, hear your voice drift through the air on soft butterfly wings. You hadn't been back at night since the first time you saw him because it felt too intimate, like the night was a time which every line blurred and how you could do everything you wanted, dance the dance of danger and want. Maybe you were scared in some sense but even if you knew it would hurt you in the end, couldn't you stop seeing him.

Seokjin smiled lightly as you rambled about your older sister and mother, your hair down, over time had you stopped tying it up in favor to feel the wind through it. He watched with glee, felt light when his arms rested close to your blue covered legs. You didn't look at him, didn't see the emotions in his orbs as he laid his cheek och his hands, but it didn't matter to Jin.

“I hope she doesn't bring another man tomorrow…”a huff left your pretty lips, back landing with a thud against the deck, while he laughed at you pout, fin flicking under the surface as a feeling of darkness grew in him with your words.

“You’ll find the right one someday…”your head turned to watch Seokjin with his bright eyes and the soft purple-ish tones playing over his cheekbones. His voice sent you high in the sky and you couldn't help but to think you already found the one.

That night were you sprinting back, skirt tangling between your legs as tears threatened to fall down the curve of your eyelashes. Your mother wanted you to be married next year and she said that you couldn't choose anymore, there had been too many rejections from your side. So you couldn't stay inside those walls which crushed your story and made you see what your life was supposed to be. All you need was Seokjin and his smile, the soft arch of his lips and the half moons his eyes became.

Jin turned fast when he heard the rushed footsteps but the tension in his shoulders disappeared as you came into view. A smile spread over his face until the shimmering of tears in your eyes caught his gaze, the light quiver of your lips.

“Y/n? What’s wrong?”you wanted to hug him, throw yourself in his arms and hope he could make everything right, but stopped just shy of an inch from him.”Y/n?”

Sitting down by his side, Jin felt his hands tremble, unsure if he should touch you and comfort you. You were so close however, never stepped over the line, hands drying the stray tear which got away.

“N-no!”he didn't like how hurt your voice was, the giddy tones you always had gone, replaced with a song of sorrow.”S-she never listen to me! Only see me as an nuisance!”

Jin watched you with big eyes, the way your orbs slowly turned empty. You had told him about your mother and how she wanted you to marry, all the while he couldn't help but feel as if you should stay by his side. There was a desperation in your skin to feel him the more you thought about your life, how an end seemed close, running its sharp edge down your spine, you just had to feel him once.

His skin was cold, the night holding him close, but Jin felt sparks as your cheek rested against his shoulder. You were warm, still dancing with the sun. The boundary had been overstepped, a line which could never be drawn again. You had known it since you saw him that night, how when it was dark was your world no longer dull but filled with lilac and blues of him.

“I don't want to marry any of them..”his hair tickled over your forehead, your eyes trailing his intertwined fingers.”I want to be with you..”

Seokjin watched you, felt your breath tickled his lips. Your chin rested on his shoulder, your words so soft but clear as the water he was born from. Never had he wanted to kiss you as much as he did now, all loneliness being burned away by your orbs.

“Me too…”but he couldn't kiss you, not yet, maybe never, so he turned his gaze from you, staring at the moving grass and trying his best to not see the disappointment in your fluttering eyes.

“Will you stay here?”a small nod was all he could give you in this moment, focusing so hard to not give in to the desire your warmth made him feel.

“I’ll stay for you..”and unfortunately would that seal his fate.

The sun shone over your head as your legs were covered by water. Jin sat by your side, not touching you. Summer was slowly walking to its end, days turning shorter and colder, something which scared you. Everything was falling out of your hands and Jin started to notice the hollowing of your bright eyes. He didn't like it, didn't like the fact that he pushed you away all those nights ago, when you needed him.

Jumping down, water splashed up in your face. He grinned as you raised an eyebrow, fin flicking behind him. All he wanted was to see your smile, hear your laugh again, and he was rewarded with a small twitch to your lip. So Jin pushed on, splashing water at you until you were almost soaked, a whole hearted giggle slipping through your mouth. Seokjin was playful, lighting up your mood, and you felt the energy come back, brighten up your eyes.

The water reached up over your waist, surprised colouring his face as you swam to him, hair turning wet. You pushed water at him, splashing just like he did. It led to a war between you two, water flying everywhere as laughs flew high in the sky. Lightness came back into your soul, like the summer would never end, so you sailed through the soft blue until you came close enough to touch him, stroke your fingers over his arms. You danced with each other, grinning with a breathless tone. Sometimes would he disappear, mop of black hair turning to streams of changing silver. Jin would come up behind you, elect a shirke of surprise from you and the slip away again as you tried to catch the movement of him. It was hard, his skin slippery and shining only when the sun graced over it, but you could feel him once, the light touch of scales again your shin. He tried to get up behind you again, waiting to make you jump, however, turning you found yourself standing face to face with the beauty he was. Eyes were shimmering and lips looked soft, his forehead exposed while water dripped down from the pushed back hair.

Staring at him, while your arms hung onto his wide shoulders, made your heart run, spread its wings and leap until it would never land again. He was close, you were close, a slight move and you would finally taste the mouth which made you laugh, your life less dull. You wanted to connect with him, let him feel the hopeless love you had for him with something more than the ordinary. When Seokjin didn't move from you, lips opening in anticipation, were you kissing him. Sparks grew over your skin, hair standing over your whole body as his hands came to rest on your waist. He was an anchor in the storm growing in your stomach, something safe and now familiar. He was what you wanted to have forever and the fevery way he kissed you back told you felt the same. You chased the loneliness away from his heart, made him feel warm even when his body didn't need it. You were air and the feeling of belonging somewhere. The intensity of your emotions made you feel drunk, a deepths theratheing to swallow you whole if it weren't for his steady hands holding you close.

But you were human and had to breathe, so you parted from his velvet lips, panting as a dark purple hue rose over his skin. In his eyes were questions mirroring yours however you were to scared to ask them yet because your truth was all but what you wanted them to be, so you closed your eyes from it, basked in his arms.

“I don't want you to leave..”he spoke, sounding breathless like your inne words. Fingers came to stroke over your cheeks, drying tears you didn't realize fell.”I don't want to leave you..”

“But do we have a choice?”

You smiled as politely as you could, unsure eyes traveling down the village boy your mother had invited to your home. He seemed nice but was a dull factory compared to the blooming nature and roaring ocean of Seokjin. The boy did his best to catch your interest, showing of his arms and telling stories of what he achieved, his personality boring you with the over the top person he tried to be. The whole day was slow and painfully so, the awkwardness of your mother cooing at him at his every word having made you shut down. In your head had you and Seokjin been the ones sitting by your table. The whole ordeal become so boring you sneaked away, heart beating wildly as you made your way down to the stream, unforntally unaware of the small smile your mother had sent the boy when she said to go after you. Doom was looming over you and if you only hadn't been so love struck, maybe thing would have turned out differently.

The village boy watched with wide eyes as you leaned in to steal a kiss from Seokjin, terro clouding dark orbs as he saw the fin shining from the sun. Stumbling back, the boy would destroy your whole world, screaming for the men and women that an evil beats, a monster, was by the stream, polluting everything. You should have been more careful, you should have controlled yourself more because now was everything wrong, death holding its hand over his black locks.

You couldn't sleep, an awful feeling of disaster kept you from falling into calmness. The world seemed eerily quiet the more you listened, like it was grieving. With panic drumming in your heart were you running down the path to him, sky filled with clouds as rain fell from your eyes, soul broken beyond repair.

“NO!”your throat felt raw as you screamed through tears. The night was lit up with flames and quivering with roars of anger.

“P-please..”sobs echoed around you and through a small gap between all the bodies could you see him, his beautiful eyes filled with sorrow.

Seokjin trashed in their hold, fin bleeding as well as his arms. He struggled, trying to get to you but it was all in vain, too many were holding him down, piercing his beautiful skin with iron. Blood was everywhere, draining his face of colour. Someone screamed and you realized it was you when your voice died abruptly in your throat. Everyone turned quiet around you, their roars gone as a metal pole stood out of Seokjin’s heaving chest. They impaled him, they killed him. You wanted to scream more, throw up everything you had every eaten, but only managed to crawl to him. His beautiful eyes dulled slowly, blood dripping from the side of his mouth, mixing with the tears you cried.

“P-p..please do-don't lea-leave me-e…”cradling his head, you pleaded to anything willing to listen, trembling while he watched you with a heavy withering heart. Even in his dying moments didn't he want you to be sad, a slow dull ache of anger at himself forming when he realized your hurt was because of him.

“I-I’m s-so so sorr-sorry..”you felt everything crash, your own heart slowing down with his. If he left this world, so would you but you had to say one last thing. He was pale and his chest had stopped moving, there was only a small spark left in Jin’s eyes, letting you know he was still listening to your quivering voice.

“I love you..”

And you do, even when he never got to say it back, cold and dead in your arms because of you, would you always love him.
