Don't kiss the cast members

Summary: You never had a problem with any of the cast members of the umbrella academy, except Aidan. You two couldn't stand each other since the first time you met. You were always good at ignoring him but the directors crashed the plan, by making you the love interest of the character Five Hargreeves. But as the day came you needed to train with him everything changed.

Here a sexy poster from Five I fell in love with! With every purchase you automatically support me :) https://amzn.to/3yGK6Fm

"This.. this wasn't wrote in the script"

Chicago, 9:20 am, you were walking outside the set with a coffee in your hands. It was cold, so the warmth of the cup made your heart flutter with happiness. It was always the smallest things that made you feel pride. You looked down at your chamber red nails while walking through the security guards. You didn't need to show them your ID; they knew you. After two years of being in the show, everyone knew everyone.

You loved attending the set, being surrounded by the most varied people, but today was different. Your stomach hurt, and your hands were slightly shaking. Knowing why your body reacted like that was easy. But your determination and the wish to earn money had driven you to attend the set today. You needed to remind yourself that this was a big part of your job... doing things you didn't want to do. You needed to swallow the pill, and you should be good to go.

Your thoughts went crazy as you said hello to the makeup artist. She was tugging at you here and there, putting little needles in the top you wore. You had been an actor for a few years now, so kissing in front of a camera was not that big of a deal for you, but kissing someone you didn't like was a little bit challenging.

The story of your character was pretty simple—not being that much in the limelight, operating in the shadows of the show. She was the daughter of the Handler, stalking Number Five and looking out for him as the Handler instructed her. The depth of the character was very interesting, so playing her was really an honor, especially because it was the biggest show you had ever been allowed to be on.

"You are ready, you like it?" she asked me. I nodded and smiled. "Thank you, this is very good work, as always," I told her. This was one of your rules: to appreciate the work people do for you, always trying to be nice to everyone. As you stepped out of the container, you saw Aidan walking by. He saw you too and headed in your direction. "Hi, you ready for the rehearsal?" he asked you. To be honest, this was the only thing you liked about him—he was always professional.

"Course, where you want to rehearse?" you asked him. He told you to follow him to Set 36. You knew the set from previous film scenes. Watching the others play was also a pretty big part of your job. You didn't need to, but you liked watching them, learning from their abilities. Robert Sheehan was one of the actors you looked up to; how he acted out his character was astonishing.

As you both walked to the empty set, neither of you even tried to make small talk. Your steps were loud as you walked with him, you read the script again and tried to memorize every little word. The set was very detailed; it was Five's room. You sat down on his bed and continued to read. "You ready?" he asked me. You nodded, laid the script aside, and positioned yourself better on the bed. The scene you needed to play was simple. You get into an argument, and then you kiss him. His part was to reject you and then walk out of the room. That's it—very simple. "Alright," you said while shaking your arms to prepare.

"Go on," you said, and Aidan got into his role. "STOP IT! Stop stalking me, you crazy little shit!" he screamed and walked around the room until he came to a halt at his desk. "I... I am not stalking you!" you yelled. He leaned himself onto the desk behind him. "I saw you following me several times!" he said angrily. Just now, you noticed how his jawline was nearly perfectly shaped—he could cut papers with that thing. You didn't answer him and just stared him down. Suddenly, he jumped away from the table and walked right in front of you.

He looked down at you. This was the moment. "I just... I can't explain," you said your last line. You could feel your heart pounding, like it demanded to get out of your torso. Your hands were shaking as if you had just drunk five espressos and two Red Bulls. "Explain, or I don't want to see you ever again," he whispered. You got up from the bed and stood before him. You felt like it was the first time you ever auditioned. You were as scared of this day as you were then. Without thinking and pushing your anxiety away, you grabbed his face and smashed your lips onto his.

Although you hated him with every muscle in your body, your whole stomach filled with butterflies as your lips landed on his. He tasted bittersweet, like he had just drunk coffee, and a little bit of woodsy cologne made him taste like that too. You waited for him to push you away, like it was written in the script. He was supposed to push you back onto the bed and leave, so you prepared for the fall. But he didn't.

He began to let his puffy lips roam over yours. It felt like you were flying straight to heaven. As you began to stroke his cheek with your thumb, he wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you closer. You let your hand travel around his neck, pushing your fingers into his dark hair. As your fingernails scratched his scalp, he opened his mouth wider, and you let your tongue sneak into his mouth. His lips felt like cushions pressing against yours.

You gasped as he let his hand fall, landing on your butt. But as soon as his lips connected with yours again, you couldn't think anymore. His other hand continued to travel up and down your waist, exploring every inch. He pushed your abdomen further into his, causing your head to tilt back slightly. He noticed and grabbed your neck harshly, pushing your head forward as he continued to let his tongue dance in your mouth, tasting you like ice cream.

You felt every last bit of oxygen leave your body, so you pushed your head away. The sudden feeling of leaving his lips made your whole body shudder with coldness. "This... this wasn't written in the script," you said, stuttering. "Then, unfortunately, we have to do this again," he said with a wide grin on his face. "Asshole."

Thank you for reading my love :) Here leading you to part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/merthosus/759274024052375552/dont-kiss-the-cast-members-summary-you-never?source=share

Finishes a wip: Great! Now I can work on a different older wip!

Brain: About that, I was thinking about this new idea---

[mer-acle]

Me finding a way to fit all the ideas into the fanfic:

Me realizing that I just doubled the length of said fic:

[randomly-generated-posts-machine]

benjamin franklin and gay … we need to talk about that

[nevesmose]

This was the basic play-acting that had somehow built upon itself day by day to create a semblance of a normal life for him in this flat which was by no means a castle with this strange scarred man who was by no means a servant.

I started reading Imperfect and just wanted to make up some other universe in which something nice actually fucking happens to them. So I was really trying to make you feel some feelings this time. Based on my vampire Fulgrim/oblivious Ferrus AU idea and I decided to let it go wherever it wanted to go, good old seat of the pants style.

Tagging @dashofstarlight and @yurihasurunbara due to your interest in the AU idea!

The title isn't just an entertainingly bad pun but also a reference to a song I like that has some ✨️arguably relevant vibes✨️

Also, in the spirit of being as open and honest as possible: I know I make a lot of jokes about a lot of things but I hope it comes across in the story that it's not my intention to do that about trans people or trans experiences. However I'm also aware that I'm writing this from the position of being an autistic cis man for whom this is a fun exercise in smooshing my action figures together without any basis in my own personal experience, so if I'm being unkind or cruel I'd appreciate being told so I can try to do better in the future ❤️

That moment when the number of hits you have on your AO3 account hits a satisfying number 🤭

I love y’all so much 🥰

[phoenixcatch7]

I go on ao3 till too late at night. I go to sleep. I wake up early.

Ao3 has raised almost twice its donation drive.

Me: Not everything is S Y M B O L I S M. Sometimes the curtains are just blue. Sometimes the author just thinks blue is neat. And that's okay.

Also me, writing Singularity specifically:

The annoying thing about releasing sanji from the cage inside my brain this week is that 1) I got stung by a wasp or yellowjacket on my dominant hand and it's so swollen there's tension when I grip a pencil and 2) I won't be around this weekend to draw him a million times in color 😭

[sandutita]

i have never read a single fanfic in my life

except in 2016-2017 when i was in my lazytown phase and read sportarobbie fanfics on deviantart at night

[trans-rights-adam-jensen]

Me after writing too many gay scenes: My pronouns are now whatever means you don't have to use my name or a descriptor to specify who is speaking

🛒, ✨, and 💖 ~~

NO YOU SENT ME THE SPARKLE RIGHT BACK NO I'M GOING TO COME FOR YOUR ICE CUBES AND MAKE YOU DRINK LUKEWARM BEVERAGES

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

fdjgjksgd I'm really bad about Found Family because I am a SUCKER for it, but I think another really common theme is watching a character go from having no self-esteem to believing in themself. GROWTH BAYBEE

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

SDGSGSDGSfdsg ya boi can write some killer gore, I had someone tell me one of my fics made them want to hurl and I was so delighted

💖 What made you start writing?

This is actually something of an interesting story. I was hospitalized as a kid (Reasons redacted) and there were a bunch of other kids, ranging from around my age (9) to teenagers. The hospital gave all the kids composite notebooks to keep journals in but there was a group of kids who instead used them to write horror short stories that then read to each other, making up weird stuff along the way. I thought this was the coolest thing ever and begged him to let me join his little club. I started writing with them and haven't ever really stopped beyond writer's block here and there. (This is also why I am a horror fan.)

l m a o when i did that tag meme i found out i had 107 files across two cloud storage locations...i'm curious about the Grindr one though! (and casino, if i can ask about two c: )

the casino one was meant to be a fairly straightforward thing about hooking up after the Citadel DLC main mission and then ended up being about sport, I need to go back to that

The Grindr one goes like this: Shep and Garrus each have a terrible crush on the other they think is unrequited, both decide that sexting with someone on Space Grindr is the best way to get over it, and the inevitable happens. I opened the file and turns out its entire contents are a couple of paragraphs of scene-setting and this:

You are editing: My Profile tfw you are way too into your commanding officer but nothing about human sex makes sense

You are viewing user profile: lazarus oldest story in the book: fell for my best friend. he's not interested in humans. Help me get over him?

You have started a chat with lazarus angel52: sounds like we have similar problems - want to see if two wrongs make a right?

lazarus: sounds good

lazarus: also that's the best AND the worst come-on I've heard in years

angel52: get you a guy who can do both

[finalgirlkateausten]
