chapter 4 of ? (it's probably 6 i just lost confidence in myself)
#obikin#hanahaki au#its been years since i updated a fic weekly#wild#it’s also important to me that everyone knows#I was at a pub editing this and this table of old people next to me were loudly talking about#the work ethic and how hard every young person in DC works#even on a Friday summer night#and I couldn’t tell them that this was NOT work sanctioned laptop up in pub#this was JUST dirty fan fiction

Welcome to the Ides of Smut Month, beware those stabby dicks!
We’ve been full blown with wedding planning (or at least J has been, I have been steadily mourning how little I understood of Expensive before now) but I did manage to work on at least one Thing this month and that Thing is here for you to share!
Spring has sprung, indeed.
I put chapters three AND four up on AO3 to catch up, but if that’s not enough you can head on over to horny jail/Patreon for Chapter 5.
Happy reading and happy Spring!

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Chapter 10 Update)
Title: Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Chapter X) Rating: M Summary:
“Perhaps you can speak them to me, if you so wish. I apologize if that is too forward, but I yearn to know you beyond simple pleasantries.
Yours truly,
Lucien
P.S. My lady, your secrets are always safe with me.”
Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.
Author’s Note: CHAPTER UPDATE for our collab (me + @zenkindoflove)! How will Lucien respond to Elain's confession? Enjoy chapter 10...we only have 3 more to go!
READ HERE ON AO3
PREVIOUSLY ON DLDE...
I am a horrible, wretched mess.
I have been bound in a cage of fear since Starfall, and seeing the evidence of your hurt from my crimes written so clearly in your letter has torn my heart asunder. There is no excuse for what I did to you last night. I have many things I need to say to you that have been buried deep for too long.

where there is darkness: chapter 23
pairing: dean/cas tags: historical au, angst with a happy ending, slow burn, h/c
Preview:
The scenery flies by as the bus meanders down the road, but Castiel doesn’t see it.
There’s no color. He thought that the gloomy gray the sea held was chilling, but it was nothing compared to this. Now, there is simply a film of darkness over everything Castiel sees. Nothing’s warm. Nothing’s bright.
It’s all been bled dry.
The bus bumps and wanders down the road. Over and over, stop after stop. Castiel doesn’t bother raising his head to look at the signs.
The view of the ocean disappeared hours ago. Now there’s only rolling hills and farmland, repeating again and again, like a movie stuck on the same scene.

do you have any fic recs? thank you!
HELLO ANON I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ANSWERING THIS ASK SINCE I GOT IT (im going to assume you mean byler fics since that is my most recent specialty🫶):
a cruel summer with you by the amazing @campbyler is by FAR one of my all time favorite fics. never in my entire four year fic reading career have i read something that obviously has so much love (and lore) put into it. if you haven’t read it already (or interacted with their blog, which i highly suggest!) this would be one of my first picks! (anything by suni or thea or andi is guaranteed to strike you speechless, though, so definitely check them out as authors, too!)
take a little moment (find the right words) by my lovely friend @astrobei is definitely also in my top all time bc i am SUCH a sucker for college aus it’s not even FUNNY. anything by suni is a banger, honestly, but this one specifically nails the miscommunication/idiots in love trope AND has rotund ducks. what is not to love.
a body in motion (also by @astrobei) is one of the best and most visceral mike character studies i have ever read. i’ve read it twice and the playlist has a permanent place in my spotify library. i don’t think i need to say any more.
sleeping with the lights on by singingseok is another mike character study that tore my heart from my chest and made me watch as it picked it apart and sewed it back together. okay. it’s SO good i highly recommend it for sure!
literally anything by @parkitaco is going to be fantastic, but three of my personal faves are the gaps and the silence, the windows of this love, and you were bigger than the whole sky because apparently i love sobbing into my pillow in the middle of the night. it’s healthy sometimes.
the strawberries are dying by my favorite doopel @lighthouseas is PERFECT if you’re looking for a unique take on byler with a historical spin <3 im a SUCKER for historical aus as well so this great depression fic was so incredibly perfect hehe
landslide by chamb3rs is. it’s so good i don’t even have words. it captures the spirit of senior year of high school so well, especially now that i’m in it lol. anyway, i’ve read this one twice and will continue to read it again for the rest of forever <3
and lastly, if you’re looking for spiderman aus (which i LOVE), look before you leap by lumism, the higher i climb, the farther i fall by @andiwriteordie, and mike wheeler’s guide to falling in love with a superhero by @smoosnoom are all wonderful perfect places to start 💗
i hope this gives you a good place to start anon :3 and also that im not overwhelming you. lol. but feel free to check out my bookmark page here for a more complete list of fics i’ve read!
#there are so many more great authors and fics out there btw. i just felt like this was already ridiculously long.#im realizing now what a suni astrobi fangirl i am. and im not sorry.#ANYWAYS i only recently started making my bookmarks public since i was so Scared before#so i will be updating it when i have time w more little comments so you can get a better idea of things to read!#also if i tagged you when you didn’t want to be tagged i sincerely apologize </3#pov you’re a nerd and have so much to say about what fics you’ve read and you also love your friends and their works and -#yeah. okay. this is making me love the byler community a lot again. maybe i WILL start that side blog for fic rec fridays#BASICALLY I HAVE A LOT TO SAY i’ll shut up now 💗#🫧🪴#asks#💌#anon !!#wayli’s fic recs

Their first day on the road to Baldur's Gate. This is a little conversation Astarion and Lorelei has about her parents:
“What are you doing my love?” Astarion asked as he sat down next to me, giving me a kiss.
“Trying to remember and take note of everything we need to do when we’re in the city.” I said as I scratched my forehead thinking if I had forgotten to add anything else. He picked up the map as he gave me a glass of wine. “Thank you.” I said with a smile and watched him read my notes.
“Should I warn Helena? Who’s Helena?” He read the words and looked up to me.
“She’s my mother.” I said in a neutral tone.
“This whole situation with Shadowheart’s parents – it must have made you think.” Astarion said as he placed the map down.
“It did.” I looked towards the darkening sky. It had a beautiful colour now, the rich blue that came after sunset. “I haven’t talked to them in years.”
“You said you had run away – have they looked for you?”
“They did. For about eight-nine months. I read my name in the paper one day –“ I paused at the memory “officially announcing my death.”
“Did you try to contact them after that?” He asked looking pensive.
“Of course not. It was manipulation.” I laughed. “My mother knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted me to come out of hiding.” I looked up to him with a smile. “To be honest, I preferred it to be that way. It made it easier for me to be reborn as Lorelei Carminbow.”
Astarion gave me a sympathetic smile. “You chose your own name?”
I hummed as I drank a sip from the wine - It tasted really nice.
“It is tradition for elves to do that as I remember.” He said in an amused and proud tone.
“It is but my mother was not a fan of that, not for me, at least. My brother and sisters all got to do theirs. I remember hearing about their naming ceremonies.”
He paused, swirling his own glass of wine, thinking. “She most likely wanted you to fit in with the other nobles. They’re not used to elven traditions in the Upper City.”
“Maybe - could also be because I'm only a half-elf.” I said leaning back on my arms looking at the sky. “It’s nice to finally see the stars again.”
Astarion followed my gaze, understanding the change of the subject. “Really is. It has been a while since we saw it last." He spoke as he downed the rest of his wine and laid down on his back next to me.
Read the whole chapter here:

Home isn't Always a Place (it's a Redhead with a Dopey Grin)
Part 2 of "If You Want to Fight the World (Just Take Me with You)"
Characters: Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens (Zowens)
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 2715
A/N: Hello and welcome to my second ever WWE story series! The first part of this story, which can be found at the link below, highlights the time directly after we see Kevin speeding away in his car following the altercation between him and Randy on Smackdown on October 11th. This second part highlights the events that took place once he turned his car around. And here we are... We've reached the end. Thank you so much for reading this story and sticking with me! I greatly appreciate your support and really enjoyed writing this. There can never be enough Zowens, IMO, and I'm happy I could contribute. Comments, kudos and feedback are always appreciated. Have a wonderful day, night, evening wherever you are in this wide world. Until next time... Translations are at the bottom of the page.
Summary: Sami Zayn was able to convince Kevin Owens to turn around, to come back and meet him at his hotel close to the arena. Sami would soon find out that that feat was far easier to accomplish than the conversation that was to be had that night.
Cross posted on AO3 under user wrestlinginjeans.
Part 1 can be found here:
https://www.tumblr.com/fantasyismyonlyrealescape/764873686728753152/if-you-want-to-fight-the-world-just-take-me-with?source=share
Kevin runs a hand through his dark hair as he walks down the hotel’s carpeted hallway, heading to Sami’s room. He glances side to side, around each corner hoping that he doesn’t see anybody that he knows on the way to Sami. He shouldn’t, he knows that. The show was still going on, but he couldn’t be certain that he wouldn’t run into someone. He was on edge, and he hoped to find some relief behind the closed door of Sami’s room.
After a minute or so more, he reaches the intended destination, his tattooed knuckles barely had time to rap against the door before it was being pulled open and he was suddenly faced to face with Sami.
“Kev…” Sami said quietly in greeting, a small sad smile on his face as he took in the sight of his best friend. “Come on in.”
That expression, Kevin hated to see it on the redhead’s face, loitering in the doorway for just a moment as he fights to make sense of his thoughts, his emotions. After a moment’s hesitation, he follows Sami inside, the heavy metal door closing with a thud behind him.
Silence prevails save for the low volume set on the TV as Kevin takes a moment to breathe in the aura of Sami wafting around the hotel room, the scent of home and safety. He can almost feel his walls start to come down, almost.
Sami appears in front of him then, the redhead’s hands raised on either side of him and in the space between them, seemingly deciding whether or not to reach out and touch Kevin. Sami brings his hands back towards him then, twisting his fingers together in the fidgeting way that he always does when he is nervous about something.
“Kev… Are you okay?”
The tone, the hesitancy in Sami’s mannerisms and voice nearly breaks Kevin as he sees how much this entire situation has affected Sami. They had all been friends, they had looked out for each other not just out of necessity but genuine love. Or at least that’s what Kevin had thought. Looking at the way Sami was taking the situation, Kevin felt anger rise up within him once again, his go to defensive mechanism for as long as he could remember.
“No, Sami, I’m not.” Kevin says quietly, turning away from Sami so that he didn’t have to see that look, that look of sympathy and hurt on his best friend’s face. Taking a moment to bring a hand up to run through his short hair, he sighs. “I’m angry, so angry at the people that I thought were my friends, our friends!”
“Kev… I get it. It’s okay—.”
“No! It’s not. God, Sami… Why are you always so damned positive? It’s not okay. None of it is, alright? Did you see what happened in Atlanta? I beat Cody into the dirt, in his city, for teaming with Roman Reigns. He betrayed me, betrayed us!”
“I’m sure he had a good reason…”
“Really, Sami? No. You are not siding with him too, please I can’t take it…” Kevin growls, his tone one of absolute disbelief as he takes a step towards the door. In that next moment, he feels a presence come up behind him and touch his arm tentatively with Kevin ripping his arm away from the touch the moment he felt it. “Get off of me!” Kevin shouted, the anger dripping from his tone. He knew that this had been a bad idea, he never should have come. He could have been out of South Carolina by now, on his way to… Somewhere. He didn’t care, he just needed to be alone. He couldn’t do this… He wouldn’t let somebody else in. It was a weakness; a vulnerability and vulnerabilities were made to be exploited. It was why he always tried to turn his back on others first, to betray others so that they didn’t get the chance to hurt him first. He would rather be made to be a monster than open his heart to someone who only ever had every intention to hurt him.
Immediately, he senses Sami taking a step back at his angry shout, his hand instantly recoiling as he lowers his gaze.
“Kev… It’s just me. You know me… Please, let’s just talk about this.” Sami says quietly, his voice taking on a slightly pleading tone as he stands there, Kevin’s back still turned away from the redhead. “You know I will always be there with you, by your side…” Sami adds, and he means it wholeheartedly. He tried not to think about their shared past, the betrayals and hurts leaving dark splotches all over the canvas. Sami and Kevin knew betrayal because they had hurt the one that matter most to them in all the world, time and again. But that was then, and this was now. Sami knew above all that Kevin was hurting. He always leaned into his anger as a coping mechanism. Sami needed to stop him, talk him down so that he could start healing. So that they could try to find some semblance of normal in all of this…
“Kevin… Just please turn around and look at me. Can you at least do that?” Sami begins, his tone still quiet and pleading. He needed to see how Kevin was faring; he needed to see what was in his eyes. He knew those grey eyes better than he knew his own and he knew how to calm them when they turned stormy. “Come on, Kev… C'est juste moi.”
Sami could read the tense line of Kevin’s shoulders, his defensive stance, everything in his frame of reference screaming at him that Kevin wanted to run, wanted to get away from him. But where would he go? Sami saw the moment that Kevin realized that he had nobody else to turn to, nobody else who would be there for him. Sami’s heart broke as his friend’s broad shoulders slumped a fraction of an inch in defeat, the walls that he so carefully constructed beginning to crumble around him.
Sami releases a breath that he didn’t know he was holding as he watches Kevin slowly turn part way back towards him, his eyes downcast as he slowly shakes his head. In that next moment, warm hands are reaching out, closing around Kevin’s right arm and serving as anchors to Kevin’s drifting soul.
“I’ve got you, Kev… It’s going to be alright.” Sami says, loosening his grip slightly before he lets his hands fall back to his sides when he sees the visible flinch the touch and the words elicited from the shorter man.
Kevin audibly swallowed and in that next moment, he turns to face Sami fully, his eyes darting up to meet Sami’s own before his gaze once again settles on the space between them.
“I’m right here…” Sami tries again, though he doesn’t try and each out to touch Kevin again.
Kevin just takes a moment to breathe shakily as he slams his eyes shut for a moment, overwhelmed by the plethora of emotions waging war inside his head in that moment.
“I screw up, Sami. I don’t know what to do next, what comes next…” Kevin says, his voice directed towards the floor.
Sami had had enough. With Kevin refusing to meet his gaze for more than a second and flinching at any kind of contact, he was rapidly running out of options by which to put Kevin at ease.
“Kevin Owens…” Sami stated sharply, his eyes boring into the other man’s form. “Look. At. Me.”
The tone used by Sami seemed to provoke some reaction in the dark-haired man in front of him, his head snapping up and his brow furrowing slightly. After a moment of hesitation, Kevin’s grey eyes come up to meet Sami’s hazel orbs and Sami is not prepared for what he sees.
“Oh, Kev… Come here. Please…” Sami whispers, his hands coming up to rest in the space between them, desperately wanting to reach out and touch his friend but knowing better than to try again. This needed to be Kevin’s choice, his choice alone.
He could see quick flashes of various emotions inside of Kevin’s stormy grey eyes, the thoughts fighting to gain traction and supremacy as he considers accepting Sami, getting into Sami’s space and surrendering himself to his best friend.
Sami doesn’t have time to identify in his face what Kevin was going to do before he was closing the short distance between the pair as he steps towards Sami, crashing into the taller man with enough force to knock the wind out of him. Sami, his stance already distributed in such a way that he could accept such an impact, welcomes his friend in, his hands immediately coming up to rest against Kevin’s shoulder blades. Kevin’s own arms wrap around Sami so tightly in a way that makes Sami believe he is the only thing holding Kevin together at the moment as the dark-haired man’s fingers curl into the fabric of Sami’s t-shirt.
Sami could feel the anger draining from Kevin’s body as they held each other. They remain this way, pressed together for an unknown amount of time, breathing in the closeness and the other’s being, the other’s everything. They stand together, Kevin’s face pressed into Sami’s shoulder as Sami brings his hand up to the back of Kevin’s head. Sami doesn’t comment when he feels the fabric of his t-shirt where Kevin’s face was start to dampen, just whispering soothing words in Québécois, English, even Arabic just to give Kevin something to listen to, something to help ground the dark-haired man. When they finally break apart, they aren’t apart long as they move to sit down on the side of the bed together, so close that their shoulders and thighs are pressed up against each other.
“Just… Tell me what happened.” Sami breaks the silence, glancing over at Kev from his place at his side.
Kevin, his head bowed and eyes downcast, scrubs vigorously at his face as he tries to wipe away any trace that he had been crying. Afterwards, he clasps his hands together and places his elbows on his knees, his hands resting between his legs as he nods slowly.
“I uh… I wasn’t supposed to be there. But I needed to say something, I needed to explain myself. So, I tried, and they cut me off.” Kevin admits, his tone rough from the tears shed and the emotions he was experiencing.
Sami nods along as Kevin speaks, knowing the feeling of helplessness when no one will bother to give you the time of day, to even listen.
“And then Cody came out. God did I not want to see him… They kept us apart and then Randy came into the ring, and I thought maybe he would be on my side…” Kevin sighed, shaking his head slowly at his unfounded hope in Randy. “I might have elbowed him, he punched me in the mouth and that was it.”
“What happened after all that, Kev?”
“Randy came to try and talk to me. I was so wired, so ready to fight that I just attacked him… I didn’t even bother to listen, to give him a chance to explain himself, I just acted. I drove off after that… I don’t know what my future holds, Aldis was ticked.”
“It’s alright, we’ll figure it out, ensemble, like we always do.” Sami said, glancing over at Kev and trying to catch his gaze. When that fails, he brings his hand to rest on Kevin’s thigh. “Look, Nick doesn’t matter right now, the company doesn’t matter right now. I don’t care about them, Kevin. I care about you… I need you to be okay.” Sami admits quietly, letting his gaze fall to the floor momentarily as he thinks of the situation.
Kevin doesn’t respond, glancing at Sami’s hand. Kevin was hovering somewhere between antsy and numb, a combination that he thought to be impossible before. At least that was one first he could say happened tonight…
“Look, Kev… You know that I will always have your back, right?”
Sami waits for Kevin to respond, needing him to hear these next words. When Kevin nods, Sami takes that as word to continue.
“You and I have a past; a past littered with betrayals, pain and heartache. The number of times that you and I have stabbed each other in the back is astounding. I don’t need to elaborate on that, you and I remember all of those times, even if we don’t want to… But do you remember what happened after every single betrayal? No matter how long it took, no matter how much pain we inflicted upon the other… We always found our way back to each other. That, that is something that others can’t say. We are a unit, Kev, and we always will be. We have a history. Screw Cody and Randy, screw Roman, none of them matter right now. We can take them all on but we’ll do it together.”
“Sami… Cody betrayed me. Randy betrayed me. They tossed me aside like I was worthless, like I never meant anything to them. I can’t just let all that go—."
“—I’m not saying you have to. Just… I’m not going to leave you like they did. Do you believe me? You mean everything to me... I’m going to be with you until the end, Kev.” Sami states quietly, hesitant to admit what his own fears were, fears that Kevin would drift away from him, embracing the darkness that Cody, Roman and Randy had encouraged. Sami had always tried to keep the inky blackness at bay, as far away from Kevin as he could manage, even embracing it himself so that it wouldn’t attach itself to his friend. Sami had always been afraid to lose his friend to the darkness, but Kevin was Sami’s strength, and he would rather sacrifice himself than lose Kevin.
(Can that be enough? Can I be enough? Please, Kev. Stay with me…)
“Just… Stay, Kev. Stay with me…” Sami says, clearing his throat in an attempt to hide the choked-up tone that had overtaken his voice towards the end of his last sentence.
It didn’t work, Sami realized quickly when he felt familiar eyes boring into the side of his face, trying to compel him to turn seemingly against his better judgement and look at Kevin.
“Sami…” Kevin began, raising his voice ever so slightly to try and get the redhead’s attention. “Sami, regarde-moi.”
Sami, pissed at himself for putting them both in a position where Kevin would have to comfort him instead of the other way around, lifted his apologetic gaze to meet Kevin’s and immediately makes an attempt to apologize.
“Kev, I’m good, I’m sor—”
“Don’t you dare, Sami.”
Sami eyebrows knit together in confusion, opening his mouth to speak but is cut off once again by Kevin. He feels a warm hand move to cover the one that he still had resting on Kevin’s thigh.
“You say you got my back, that you want to be by my side until the end? Well, that goes both ways. I’m with you, Sami. You brought me back tonight, convinced me to return to you. The world can wait, tomorrow too. Whatever happens, as long as I got you, I’ll be okay.”
Sometime later in the quiet of Sami’s hotel room, Kevin lay awake contemplating how his night had gone. It had started out rough, betrayal, confusion and sadness reigning supreme in the beginning. He brought his chin to his chest, a small smile tugging at his lips as he gazes at Sami’s sleeping form, the redheads face and head resting on Kevin’s chest with Sami’s fingers gripping the fabric of Kevin’s t-shirt. Kevin laid his head back down then, one of his tattooed hands coming up to tangle his fingers in Sami’s wavy locks, his other hand coming to rest on Sami’s back, the reassuring thump of Sami’s heart and the in and out of his slow breathing lulling Kevin to slowly drift off too.
(Yeah, I am right where I need to be. No need to run anymore…)
Translations:
C'est juste moi: It’s just me

I am writing a new fic! (or actually I am finally publishing a fic I started ages ago and never finished). It's called Commiting to each room design, like it was a permanent oath (from the Grace Petrie song IKEA) and it's the story of Dex and Nursey going to Ikea to move in together (as friends?).
“Dex! Dex! I’m in love!!” comes Nursey’s voice from within yet another show-case room, and if it weren’t for the fact that Dex had heard him say that about three different lamps within the last hour, his pulse might have risen at those words, but Nursey has also made an ode to an extremely ugly vase as they walked past it, so he just sighs as he turns the corner and sees Nursey staring lovingly at the wall of a fake bedroom. It is covered in a wallpaper depicting falling leaves in warm shades of orange. “Why are you staring at the fucking wall Nurse?” Or five times people assume Nursey and Dex are dating + one time it wouldn't be just an assumption.
Go check it out!
