Don’t sue me for showing up once a week, posting a nalu-rot opinion, getting 200 likes, then disappearing for another week. It’s not against the law!!

#RelationshipGoals

“Kakashi,” Iruka said, barging into the living room and nearly tripping over one of the dogs, “you can’t just post a picture of my ass and tag it ‘relationship goals’. It doesn’t make sense.”

“It makes perfect sense,” Kakashi replied distractedly, sitting on the couch with his feet up, two of the other dogs sprawled in his lap, watching some shitty reality show on the television and scrolling on his phone. He should be doing the dishes. Didn’t Iruka tell him to do the dishes? “My Instagram feed is blowing up. Look at all the comments I’m getting-”

“Yeah, they’re mostly fucking peach emojis.” Iruka snatched his phone away and glanced at the screen. Ugh, the amount’s nearly doubled since he discovered the post. It was ridiculous. Yeah, sure, his ass looked amazing in the shot, considering he’d been wearing a tight pair of yoga shorts during a workout, and Kakashi definitely knew the best angle, lighting, and filter to use from being an Instagram fitness trainer/model Kakashi with half a million followers or whatever, but STILL. That many people checking out his ass was intimidating, not to mention downright creepy. 

“Whatever.” Iruka tossed the phone back and crossed his arms. “Lay off the ass pics or you will lose said ass privileges. Understood?”

“…Wait…ass privileges?” Kakashi looked at him, aghast. “You meant, no touching? No squeeze? Not even a pinch?” Iruka just stared at him without blinking to assert dominance. “…Understood.” 

---

“Why my thighs?” Iruka asked during lunch.

“Have you seen them?” Kakashi retorted.

“Every time I look down.”

“I rest my case.” 

“…What.”

“You have the legs of a God, Iruka. Let them be worshipped by the masses.” 

“Bitch, I will wear sweatpants for a month.” 

Kakashi pouted like a baby as he deleted the post. Iruka threw a french fry at him. 

“And enough with the #relationship goals crap!” 

---

“Why would you post a pic of my nipples,” Iruka asked in a flat voice, hovering over Kakashi as he reclined in the bathtub. “Why.”

“…Why not?” Kakashi raised an eyebrow, like that was going to keep Iruka from popping him in the eye. Or drowning him in the tub. 

“Because they’re my nipples.” Iruka glared him down. “They belong to me. I allow you to touch them. They’re a gift. A gift that can be…taken away.” 

“…I’ll take the post down,” Kakashi said quietly, sinking deeper into the bubbles.

“Good.” Iruka nodded and walked out of the bathroom, throwing over his shoulder, “And stop tagging it ‘relationship goals’! It still doesn’t make any sense!”

“Yes, it does!”

Iruka ran back in just to turn the cold faucet on and hear Kakashi squeal.

---

“This needs to stop,” Iruka said, cornering Kakashi in the laundry room. 

“…Is this about the bulge?” Kakashi asked, frozen in the act of dumping the last of his clothes into the washing machine. “…Was it too much? Are you mad?”

Iruka wordlessly held up a bottle of bleach.

“Okay, you’re mad. That’s understandable,” Kakashi said in the tone of voice of a police officer negotiating with an armed terrorist. “Let’s not make any rash decisions-”

He hovered it over the washer.

“Wait, hold on, we can talk about this-”

Iruka unscrewed the lid.

“…All my best shirts are in there,” Kakashi whimpered pitifully. 

He slowly tipped it until a single drop fell in.

“Okay, okay! I’ll take it down!”

Iruka drew the bottle back as Kakashi surged forward, slamming the lid of the washing machine shut and giving Iruka a scathing glare. 

“You’re a monster,” he hissed. 

“Delete the bulge pic,” Iruka said flatly, “or you won’t even have a relationship to tag.”

Kakashi hit him in the face with a sock. 

---

“Alright, asshole,” Iruka snarled as he kicked the bedroom door open, startling Kakashi into dropping the magazine he’d been reading in bed. “Posting a pic of my ass? Funny. Posting a pic of my nips? Not so funny. Posting a pic of my O-face? Completely out of line.” He held up his phone, which displayed a picture of his own face, eyes rolled back and mouth open in ecstasy. “How the fuck did you even take this without me noticing-”

“You were eating an Oreo,” Kakashi stated. 

Iruka stared at him blankly for a full ten seconds.

“…Is that why you get so horny when I eat them?” he asked in a small voice.

“Babe, everything you do makes me horny,” Kakashi replied. “…Like right now you’re all mad and sexy-”

“KAKASHI.”

“I’m just saying!” Kakashi scooted to the side of the bed and reached out plaintively. Iruka slapped his hands away. “Ow- you’re beautiful, Iruka. You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life- seriously, quit it. You’re everything I want in a relationship and more, hence the tag- it DOES make sense, let me finish. Is it wrong for me to be proud of that? Of you? For me to…show you off?” 

“Listen,” Iruka said slowly, “I’m just not comfortable with my body being on display to however-the-fuck-many followers you have-“

“Six hundred fifty thousand,” Kakashi cut in. Iruka shut him up with an icy glare.

“…without my consent,” he finished. “How’d you like me to snap a pic of you wearing your retainer and post that online for everyone to see?”

“…They can never know,” Kakashi whispered fiercely, his eyes flicking to the drawer of his bedside table. 

“I’m not saying you can’t take pictures of me,” Iruka went on. “Just…ask first.” 

“Alright,” Kakashi agreed grudgingly. “It’s just…hard. I want the world to see you. How wonderful you are. How happy you make me. I want to share it all.” 

“Then why don’t we just take a picture together? You know, like normal couples do?” Iruka said, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

Kakashi opened his mouth, paused, then closed it.

“…I actually never thought of that.” 

“…You never thought- oh my God you’re so lucky I love you.” Iruka flopped down on the bed beside him, groaning. Kakashi squirmed closer, already holding up his phone to find the perfect angle. The pose took some work, but after a minute or two, they settled on one with them squished together, legs entangled, Iruka’s head resting on Kakashi’s shoulder, the both of them looking up expectantly at the camera. Kakashi counted to three, then promptly turned and gave Iruka a wet raspberry right on the neck just as the camera clicked. 

The picture came out perfect.

“See, NOW it makes sense,” Iruka said as Kakashi tagged it the obligatory ‘relationship goals’. 

“Good to know this post have been ‘Iruka Approved’,” Kakashi replied, shoving his phone, already buzzing with notifications, beneath the pillow. He rolled over and winked. “So…am I still in trouble? Have my rights been…revoked?”

Iruka stared at him for a long moment, then grinned wolfishly. 

“Get me an Oreo and we’ll talk.”

FLUFFBRUARY 2023: Feb 1

Prompts: clue velvet museum

If there is one thing Hob loves about Dream—well, back up a second, obviously there are lots of things he loves about Dream, but if he has to pick one at random on the spot and in respectable company, it's this: He loves being tucked into bed. He loves the spindly fingers stroking through his hair, the soft brush of lips to his temple, the velvet-black richness of Dream's voice settling into his bones, deep and soft and somnolent, coaxing him over the threshold into sleep easy as you please. Imagine. Escorted off to slumberland by the Dreamlord himself! And sure, most nights he's physically alone in his bed—not like the King of Dreams actually sleeps—and sometimes he misses the cuddling that could otherwise be had, but! Dream tenderly tucking him in, and then meeting him on the other side, hand outstretched and galaxies in his eyes and the tiniest smile tucked into the corners of his mouth—that's worth the trade-off, no question about it.

Vinny's 2023 fics!!

I'm so proud of all the writing I did in 2023!! I learned so much that I'm so excited to apply to my projects for 2024 <3

Not Whole, Not Holy Rating: Explicit Word count: 2,752

Moody, quiet, and introspective, this piece explores endverse!Cas and endverse!Dean finding a little bit of solace in each other among their crumbling world. Best described by the tag: Not hurt/comfort, not hurt/no comfort, but some secret third thing.

A Midsummer Night's Dean Rating: Teen+ Word count: 16,948

A wild ride of a casefic loosely based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Featuring love potions, Dean having chronic foot-in-mouth-disease, Cas being SO down bad it's dangerous, and Sam wanting to be literally anywhere else but here. I've been told this fic has made people laugh so hard, it has awoken children and brought concerned family members a'knocking on doors.

Innervate A series currently containing two fics, with a few more additions planned! This series follows Cas' developing relationship to his body and how he navigates through the world with it. It's full of fun science and anatomy, alternate angel lore, and LOTS of UST between Dean and Cas (don't worry, it will get resolved... eventually lol. This is a series-long slow burn)

Check out Prelude as a sampler for vibes (full disclosure-- this was a WIP for a LOOOOOONG time so while this fic was uploaded in 2023 the writing is far older than that)

Then for a more cohesive story (and tbqh way stronger writing), pop on over to Ask Me Why My Heart's Inside My Throat

Spellbound Rating: Explicit Word count: 4,764

A one-shot exploring the Master/Apprentice relationship of Sam and Rowena. Let's be real here. They have insane magic sex and I feel like not enough ppl talk about it. EYE barely even scratched the surface with this one. The quickest summary I got for this one: Sam's cardinal virtue is that when a hot woman speaks, he listens.

Long Black Cloud Coming Down Rating: Gen Word Count: 3,540

Taking place prior to s1, teen!Dean has to act quick and think fast when Sammy suddenly comes down with a fever. He can't let his thoughts race too far though, or he just might start believing that whatever's going on is more than just a fever and a snow storm.

[shadow-pixelle]

Congrats to everyone that survived NaNo. I managed to pull off like, 5k in total I think? Which is really bad for me but when I consider I spent this month chronically sick and exhausted (and exhausted from being sick), I think I'll let myself off and say that 5k is really good, actually.

I mean I also had some writer's block issues but I think some of those came from the being Persistently Unwell situation. I'm still gonna sit here and be proud of my 5k of writing on whatever I could make my brain work on for this month.

[eisoj5]

i wrote 3 fics in 2023

Despite being all for fic challenges this year, these are very, very different creatures!

tell me do you think it'll be all right: Pentiment, 3k, Andreas Maler/Werner Stolz for the Pentiment spring exchange.

Christmas Eve, 1543.

Really fond of this one and still hope to do the rest of the series I planned! (kate you are still not allowed to read this until you're done with the game!)

there ain't no easy way out: Rogue One, 8k, Bodhi Rook/Orson Krennic for the Star Wars Rare Pairs exchange.

Of all the things Bodhi has thought the Rebellion might ask him to do, after he and Galen finally found their way to the base, seducing Director Krennic has never been on the list.

This one's pretty dark, and I'm not at all surprised it has one of the lowest kudos counts on anything I've ever written. Still proud of managing 8k of filth though (with a smidgen of plot)!!

[Save Video As Draft]: Nimona, just under 2k, Diego the Squire with background Ballister/Ambrosius for Yuletide!!

Five times Diego the Squire filmed something he didn’t post, and one time he didn’t film anything at all.

Annnd followed the previous fic up with one of the lighter things I've written. This one percolated for a long time until I figured out the framing, and then it was fun and relatively fast to write.

2024 goals:

finish at least two The Sisters Brothers WIPS (probably starting with share my secrets with you)

get another Pentiment fic up in that series

[sadaveniren]

Ok but why was he free balling in those red sweatpants and more importantly why do fics only write about Harry being well endowed when we call clearly see that Louis is too 😭

GREAT QUESTION ANON. On top of the fact Harry “I don’t think a carrot will cover it” Styles has talked about it. Like we all know Harry loves dick. Clearly he keeps good dick at home.

[kinetic-elaboration]

December 24: Miller/Bryan, Boyfriends

This is literally the least Christmas-y thing I could write on Christmas Eve but I just had the urge to write some angsty Miller/Bryan stuff instead of trying to do fluff. I'm just not in the fluff mood.

This is in the same universe as this scene, is extremely self-indulgent, and may or may not be good, but it was fun.

Canon-divergent, S3-era, ~760 words, some sexual content

Written in 22 minutes

*

When they were dating on the Ark, they would fantasize often about domesticity. They'd find quarters together as soon as they turned eighteen, either on Alpha or on Farm, or anywhere else that would take them; they'd sleep together in a bed big enough for two. They'd develop some sort of morning routine. Their clothes would get mixed up. They'd kiss at every threshold, before parting, upon meeting.

Miller was a damned romantic in those days too: trading stolen goods for extra ration points and extra ration points for private time in the mess and a dinner for two; memorizing love sonnets; handing Bryan sprigs of plants from the fields on Farm as if they were bouquets. Some of the gestures made Bryan laugh. But always with such fondness. And after Miller was arrested, they promised to stay faithful—Bryan promised to visit and promised to wait—and so everyone in the Sky Box said they were married. That was the word for couples who believed in a future like that. Miller never told anyone that he proposed for real, with a bit of junk metal fashioned into a ring, as earnest and as quiet and as serious as he'd ever been in his life, never told a single soul that Bryan said yes. Yes Miller would live and as soon as he got out, they'd be married in Miller's father's quarters and afterwards, never separated ever again.

Later, when Bellamy asks, he says he has a boyfriend. Fiancé seems too heavy somehow, like maybe Bellamy will read it as kids playing dress up, or only frown as he does at Sky Box slang he never got the hang of.

It's easier to live with himself, too, when he's got a boyfriend up there or out there or possibly dead, than to let himself go on spinning fantasies about the love of his life.

It's not domestic now and it's not sweet either, or soft, or easy, when they don't know what to say to each other, so every time they meet, they just fuck. Bryan hangs out with Farm mostly, without saying they're family in so many words. Miller’s got his dropship survivors. Thy almost never talk about that now. The scar on his shoulder aches when it's about to rain, and when he puts on the Guard jacket, it feels heavy on his shoulders.

Bryan's assigned quarters in some of the new outbuildings, where they've stuck the rest of the station because all the rooms in Alpha have already been divided up. But it's not hard to sneak over, hardly more of a challenge to sneak Bryan over to his. Bellamy practically lives at Gina's now. Their bed is a double, and it's easy to shove Bryan down on it.

They never get fully undressed and they lie to themselves and say it's because it takes too long, and they need something hot and hard and now, they miss each other so goddamn much. It doesn't hurt the way that sex always hurt in crowded spaces up on the Ark: banged elbow in the supply closet, ache in his back from trying to twist around too much in his single bed, and then he couldn't even catch his breath after, because soon his father would be home. He might say it hurts in a worse way now, like poking an old bruise. Old man, Bryan says, half-smiling, when his heart starts beating too fast and his lungs burn but he's thinking about Bellamy giving him a hand job in this same bed and then about how many people have fucked in it over the last 100 years, and how little it matters, sentimentality like that.

He can feel Bryan's palm pressed close against him, that moment of pressure before his fingers start scrambling for Miller's zip, and he thinks that if he's breathing in the air from Bryan's lungs right now, open mouth to open mouth and the darting slick press of tongues, maybe he's also hearing Bryan's heart in his ears. Maybe they are one person. Maybe that's the rhythm he can feel coming of its own accord into his hips, as Bryan straddles on top of him, and they move as if they were fucking, and everything else drowns out and is still.

They haven't mentioned the word marriage since their reunion at the settlement gates. Not even once. No words like boyfriends or domesticity or even home, but again and again he huffs you into Bryan's mouth: you and want and need. You, you, you.

Series Plans

At the beginning of the year I sat down and looked at some of my still unfinished series on AO3.

I plan to finish the following series this year:

What Peace Brings- A LotR series featuring Aragorn/Arwen/Boromir

Marked by Love- A Cody/Rex series

Launch Sequence- A Jango/Obi-Wan series

Two Jedi & A Commander- A Cody/Obi-Wan/Quinlan series

Based on my plans, I have 1 fic left for Marked by Love, 2 fics left for What Peaces Brings, and 4 fics each for Launch Sequence and Two Jedi & A Commander.

Let's see if I actually make it happen!

[cruelsummer-ficfest]

“What is it you want?”

“To be with you. To raise Dora. To open our greenhouse and make a living doing something we love. To live in a world where Quidditch games aren’t potential battlefields and nobody cares about blood status.”

“Yeah. That sounds about right.”

“Like I said. I’m too soft.”

“If wanting a peaceful life with the people you love is soft, then I’d say being soft isn’t a bad thing,” he countered. “No matter what’s going on out there, we don’t have to lose sight of what’s really important.”

Lauren's 2023 Writing Plan

Alright so given that I'm (hopefully) finally done with school, it's time to focus on my writing a little bit more, and that means putting more care into running this blog, as well as working on some longer term porjects that I may or may not eventually share on here too (but are far than ready to be released to the world as of right now). This is why I've decided to give little previews of the things I've been working on lately and that I wanna eventually post on here. I believe this will be a way for me to motivate myself and keep track of what I achieve, and who knows, it might help lure some potential readers in (please please please leave comments and reblog my stuff if I've successfully lured you in and you like what you read, it means so much). Anyway, without further ado, here's what you can expect for me this year:

NCT FRAT AU I think we all agree that NCT are the frat boys of the kpop industry, however the idea of writing about it was sparked by @smileysuh's frat au (find it here). This series is going to be written with OCs, simply because I have ideas for everyone to be kinda linked, and it's going to be too confusing if I don't give names to the boys' s/o. Here's the ideas I have so far:

Taeyong - Shy and nervous Taeyong who's absolutely whipped for one of the techs who is working on the dance squad's show

Johnny - When he meets someone who's as witty as he is, Johnny makes it his mission to find a way to fluster them

Yuta - Sweet barista Yuta takes care of someone he barely knows at a frat party (sounds lame but it won't be)

Doyoung - Theatre kid Doyoung falls in love with the person playing his love interest in the theatre club's production

Ten - Fuckboy Ten had someone in his bed after a frat party and didn't do anything? You're kidding, right?

Jaehyun - There's no way the football player will end up with his childhood best friend who also happens to be a cheerleader, right? Like come on, that's too cliché... right?

Lucas - Gets jealous when he sees his fwb all over someone else after they've been ghosting him for a while (definitely gonna be 18+)

Mark - Music major Mark goes on a blind date set by Haechan that goes a lot better than he would've expected (this is going to be cheesy I'm warning you)

Xiaojun - Art student Xiaojun helps one of the other art majors to derive from the classical rules and free their creativity, no matter what other artists might say (this is kinda based on Nevertheless but also not at all)

Jeno - When cold boy Jeno is seen smiling and chatting with someone outside of his frat friends, rumors start spreading about a potential new couple (for my besties to lovers enthusiasts)

Haechan - Gets offended when his friend pretends to be annoyed by him when in public when in reality they're just as hyper as he is (I don't know how else to explain it you'll have to trust me on this)

ATEEZ Somehow I don't have that many plans for my ult group, however I do get new ideas almost every single time they post something so be ready for that I guess. As for now though:

Deadly Class AU: I only published one part, but I have a few more things to say about that au, especially since Halazia Seonghwa has the exact energy I imagined for the Deadly Class Seonghwa I wrote about. I have a few things already written, but they need a bit more work before they're published. I can however say that Yeosang and Hongjoong will also be part of that au.

I have a vague idea for a Rich Boy series with Ateez, and I'm thinking of maybe writing one shots based on songs for this series? I wouldn't be making OCs this time but they're kind of all gonna be in the same universe. Also the songs I have so far are Fools by Troye Sivan, Black Eye by Vernon and maybe Shout Out by Enhypen, but the concept might change, I'm not sure

The whole 30 minutes album preview live or whatever that was did give me ideas for an au that would take place within the Ateez lore, but given that one of my long term project is already (very) loosely based on their lore, I'm not sure if I'm gonna go through with it. Maybe I'll just write a Yeosang one shot relating to the live's sorta hidden pov

SEVENTEEN As a fairly new Carat, I do know I wanna write about them (especially Vernon and Seungcheol as of right now) but I don't feel like I know them well enough yet to write about them if that makes sense? So what I'm trying to say I guess is keep your eyes peeled for that, but I don't know when it will actually happen. I do however have something written that include Jeonghan and Seungcheol, though it's not about them.

And finally, I have a few ideas that I'm going to keep quiet for now, but they include a mix of idols, and also a Stoner line that my bestie and I made for each group we stan, so keep an eye out for those!

I really hope I'll be able to keep up with writing this year, but please keep in mind that I also have a full time job that is sometimes quite demanding energy wise, so I might not be as disciplined as I wanna be. Also, if any of these inspire you or if you have other ideas for the groups I've mentionned or other groups, let me know! (fair warning that I most likely Will Not write for anyone born after 2001 though) Also, keep in mind that some of these are going to be 18+, and most of them are going to contain strong language or mature topics, so do not interact if it isn't your cup of tea. I try to make sure that everything I post contains the proper warnings, so don't come at me if you read something you shouldn't/don't wanna be reading

Here's to a good 2023!
