Ardan’s Descendants: Book 1 Demo Update

Ardan’s Descendants

Ardan’s Descendants is a WIP interactive fiction game set in the land of Ardan where the world and nearly every living thing are filled with an energy called aether. You start off as a child contained in a lab within the snow biome (one of the regions in Ardan). After escaping that prison you end up in Gairo, Lycras located in the desert biome where you’re enrolled in an academy and trained to become a member of an elite task force that’s been assigned the mission of ending the string of kidnappings taking place across all five regions of Ardan.

Having previously been a victim of the kidnappings in your younger years, this mission may help unlock the blurry memories of your past. Who were you before being kidnapped? What happened to the others who were held captive alongside you?

Features:

- Create your MC!

- Choose how you manipulate aether.

- Pick your weapon.

- Grow your MC’s Personality.

- Romance one of the 12 ROs- 6 male, 4 female, 2 nonbinary.

- Shape your story.

DEMO: (Prologue)

The ROs

Dax Ikarus(He/Him)- The Leader of your unit was born in the forest biome in the capital of Koteva. He has golden brown eyes, coily black hair cut low into a fade, and dark brown skin. Three silver earrings hang from his left ear.

There’s no denying he’s a great leader who looks after and cares for his squad. He’s quite popular amongst the trainees in the academy. He’s dead set on rising quickly through the ranks and takes his job seriously, but he’s pretty laid back when he’s around friends. Which is why it’s easy to sense he doesn’t seem to like you very much.

Noah Hendrix(He/Him)- The leader of a different unit. Comes from a wealthy and powerful family in the desert biome. The eldest of the Hendrix siblings and best friend of Dax. He has brown dreads with the sides shaved, hazel eyes, and light brown skin.

Known as the life of the party. Whereas Dax is popular, Noah is Infamous. A nonstop flirt and reckless. He may seem a little chaotic, but gets deadly serious when it comes to his siblings.

Naomi Hendrix(She/Her)- Was one of your classmates at the academy and joined your unit after graduating. The middle child of the Hendrix siblings. She has curly brown hair that’s cut into a bob, dark brown eyes, and light brown skin.

The embodiment of nope. Not really interested in the whole task force thing because she rather not be in any line of fire. When she’s not being dragged on missions you can find her at the nearest mall.

Noel Hendrix(They/Them)- Joins your unit along with Naomi. They’re the youngest of the siblings and are the most likely to take over the family business. They have curly brown shoulder-length hair, dark brown eyes, and light brown skin.

Smart, strategic, and quick on their feet. They’re not much of a fighter but if you go to them with a problem, nine times out of ten they’ll find the solution to it.

Gem Caten(He/Him)- Potentially the first friend you make at the compound. He grew up there and started going to the academy at the same time as you. He changes his hairstyle a lot, but his natural hair is straight and jet-black. He’ll usually put it in a half-updo. He has smokey black eyes and pale skin.

He’s a carefree, go-with-the-flow type of guy. His mom is the head of medicine at the compound so he kind of just naturally joined the task force.

Cameron Nadir(He/Him)- Basically lives at the compound. He’s a junior medic in training when you first meet him. He has dark blue eyes, shoulder-length blonde hair that’s shaved on the right side, and lightly tanned ivory skin. He has tattoos all along his left arm.

People’s first impression of him may be that he’s a bit of a troublemaker, which he is, but he’s also very caring.

Fay Webster(She/Her)- The team’s gear maker. Gets all the uniforms and weapons mission-ready. Born and raised in the desert biome in the city of Nelens. She has fiery red shoulder-length wavy hair, dark green eyes, and a rosy complexion.

She's creative, outgoing, and her mind runs a mile a minute coming up with new ideas. She admires the members of the task force and does her best to supply them with the latest technology.

Audrey Rokk(She/Her)- An ambassador of the water biome. Was born in the snow biome but moved to the water biome for work. She has naturally blonde and long silky hair, but she dyed it blue. Her eyes are light blue and has an olive skin tone.

Honest and hard-working. Unlike the majority of government officials you've met, she's down to earth and seems to care about more than just her own personal gains.

LIMITED DATA

Vin(He/Him)- You met him as a child at the lab. He had ivory skin and dark brown eyes, but his right eye had speckles of blue in it. His straight dark brown hair went a little bit past his shoulders and was pulled back into a bun.

You vividly remember how soft-spoken he was. He would cling to anyone in your little group that would allow him to.

Yara(She/Her)- She is the first kid you met in the lab. She had long dark brown braids, dark brown skin, and amber eyes.

You remember her being aloof and unwilling to get involved in any of the other's shenanigans.

Zeke(He/Him)- Was brought to the lab a year after you were. He had short slightly curly black hair, green eyes, and pale skin.

He was always grumpy, but one thing he seemed to enjoy was giving you a hard time.

Iris(They/Them)- An assassin you meet on a mission in the water biome. They have white hair, stormy grey eyes, and very pale skin.

youe flower shop au is so so so so cute pls tell me the little details youve figured out for it- like litterally info dump anything you want am just so curious thank you wow- also i have too many drawins to do rn but at some point could i make fanarts for your au? so so cuteeee

Oh I didn't expect to have an ask about this AU again, but thank you!

Even though I haven't been back in the fandom for a while, I'll gladly share what I could from what I can remember. I don't know when I'll get back into this, you can say that this AU is on a very long hiatus for the time being.

The Flower Shop and Tattoo Parlour AU was of course something I've made on a whim just to write my ships in but the more I got into it I got invested into writing little headcanons while at the same time having some parts of this AUs story be somewhat similar to the original.

Also I thought I'd say it here but if anyone else is invested in this AU as well, I wouldn't mind seeing anyone else have a go at this AU concept too, so I'm giving full permission to use as some inspiration. I'd love to see what others could do with this story.

This is long so I added a cut

The things I haven't brought up in this AU are mostly the other PM and ADA member's roles in the AU these where the other ideas I had in mind that I never though of posting, not including Soukoku and shin soukoku (unfortunately I didn't have any illustrations of them so it's just text for now) :

ADA (Tattoo Parlour)

Yosano - I had posted about her once before and I think the information about her is still the same. Works at the Tattoo shop part time and as a doctor for her main job, she's one of the workers who are skilled in applying piercings

Ranpo - He was the trickiest one to come up with because of who he is as a character, but the closest I could think of is that He could also be a tattoo artist and a really skilled one in fact, but he prefers to just sit back and do his own thing so he doesn't work with a lot of client unless he wants to himself

Kunikida - He would be the manager of the shop and would of course still be a former math teacher turned manager to a Tattoo Parlour, but for the reason on why he chose this, I never got into why or I probably forgot

Junichiro - One of the shops other piercers he's taking this job also part time in order to earn money to support him and his sister. Speaking of, Naomi is also very well known at the shop from how often she visits him at work and is often asked to leave by Kunikida when she stays for too long

Kyoka - She's a regular junior high student as well as Atsushi's neighbour. Her parents were the ones to have introduced her to him after a friendly encounter and would ask him to tutor their daughter when they're away for work on occasion. Kyoka personally sees him as an older brother figure to her and would keep her company as she would be often by herself

Kenji - a close school friend of Kyoka and he personally know Atsushi as well after being introduced by his friend. The two would also visit the shop sometimes whenever they walk back from school

Fukuzawa - the owner of the shop but also let's his workers operate freely as long as they're not causing any serious trouble, he has a past that he prefers not to bring up and the interaction between him and Ranpo is the same like in the original

PM (Flower Shop)

Kouyou - On of the best and oldest workers at the shop and is Chuuya's superior, she's the first to rely on as she provides the best bouquet arrangements for any special occasion whether it be events or weddings

Higuchi - A new worker at the shop and looks up to Akutagawa, she's well antiquated with both him and his sister Gin. Over time she had slowly developed feelings for Ryunosuke but is unfortunately unaware that he has eyes for someone else, a certain silver haired tattoo artist

Tachihara - He is also a new comer he worked at the shop before Higuchi, he's very laid back and would regularly hang out with Gin and Hirotsu during breaks

Hirotsu - Another experienced worker at the flower shop, for his age he's still capable of carrying large portions of supplies with no issue and would regularly smoke at the back of the shop whenever he's on break

Kajii - Tasked on looking over the quality of the flowers and maintains their quality but at the same time is very curious of the capabilities of the plants and would often be stopped by the other workers from wasting any more of their stock

Mori - The mysterious owner of the flower shop, it's unknown on why he chose to run one but apparently there are some rumours about the shop's owner having possible crime connections as well as former workers disappearing but they all lack information to confirm it's validity

❝ Love doesn't conquer everything, and whoever thinks it does is a fool.  ❞

B A S I C S –

Name: Gabriela Emiliano Delgado. Nicknames: Goobie (most known as), Goob. Birthday: August 30, 1999. Pronouns: They/them, allows themselves to be she'd by good friends, fucks, and family. Gender/Sex: Non-binary, though when asked their gender they say "dyke". Sexuality: Lesbian. Occupation: Delivery boy at Fired Up, freelance upcoming DJ.

P E R S O N A L I T Y —

+ Resourceful, responsible, steadfast. - Sleazy, vengeful, dishonest. Goobie is very particular with who they let into their life, but to the few friends they have, they're a witty, dedicated friend. More of an active listener than a talker, but they usually always have something to add. Pretty flirtatious when they want to be, but in a cool, toned-down, confident way rather than a fun and easy way. They have the sleep-around gene from their mother, but due to always being left alone as a kid, they're a lot more responsible than she could ever be.

A R R I V A L — ( FALL 2017 )

Goobie's mom made the decision to settle in Aurora Bay after a particularly bad situationship ending. It's close to family and the beach, and Goobie spent a lot of time in the nearby town where they went to summer camp, so it seemed an obvious fit. Although Goobie and their mom live in Crystal Cove now, they spent the first 5 years in Seabrook Quarter.

E X T R A B I T S —

– Originally their middle name was Emilia but they started spelling it Emiliano around the time they came out as a lesbian. – Due to all the summers at camp, they're weirdly good at archery. No real interest in pursuing or further strengthening the skill, but if the function has a bow and arrow, they can turn out. It makes them really fucking good at bar darts, too. – Goobie puts in a LOT of time and effort on their car. It's always washed and waxed, and the interior is kept spotless, save for their front cupholders which always has one empty and one full matcha latte. Despite all that time spent with pizza in the front seat, it never smells like cheese - only bergamot. – Lives the sober life despite their avid partying. They will partake in the occasional molly dose, but rarely, and usually at festivals.

C O N N E C T I O N S —

Aeris Flores: sleaze bag BFF and tattoo artist. Aeris has done most of Goob's tattoos, and in between sessions they can be found shit talking their latest hookups. Santiago De Leon: first cousin once removed. They come from the same big family.

B A C K G R O U N D —

- grew up with single mom, naomi (more commonly known as nomi), who is their best friend in the world. huge huge momma's girl. nomi is a grade A maneater, and due to her maneating ways, she claims she has no idea who goobie's father is, and goobie doesn't care to know. their whole life it's just been them two, and that's how goob likes it - they come from a large family that has always been close, physically and emotionally, but nomi is a bit of a black sheep which means goobie has always felt a sort of disconnect with a lot of their relatives. they always attend all of the familial events, but they're usually on the sidelines listening and watching rather than participating in the conversations, because their mom and her husband-less life is usually is brought up - growing up with a mom who loved to date and party meant goob was on their own a lot, left to fend for themselves for food and entertainment. this meant learning to cook at a young age (and learning to turn the stove off) as well as spending a lot of time watching mtv and, eventually, being chronically online - during some formative years, their mom fucked a guy for longer than normal and even allowed him to keep some personal items at their apartment, which included a very nice record player and a stack of vinyls. eventually the relationship ended but the guy was really sweet so he left the player and vinyls there bc goob was clearly very attached to them. this, combined with their avid mtv watching, triggered a deep interest in music - specifically: making it - around age eight, nomi started sending goob to camp every summer for some good ol' fashioned rough n' tumble outdoor activity. goob actually loved it; they made a 4-lifer friend there right out of the gate. because goob didn't have siblings, they imprinted on this guy almost immediately, and every summer they spent all eight weeks together, and pen-pal'd it the rest of the year. to this day they are best friends - goob began making their own music and attempting to remix other artist's songs in eighth grade. they started by posting a lot of their remixes on soundcloud, and then suffered major embarrassment when some bullies at school got a hold of their acct and blasted them all over the school for making shitty music. this, of course, only resulted in their determination to become really, really fucking good. eventually, over years of practice, they became the dj friend, always scooping the aux for parties. they went to community college and hated it, but spent a lot of time at frat parties there building an audience they never wouldve thought to appeal to. - goob's success as an underground dj is blowing up. most recently, they collaborated with the dare on a song, though it hasn't brought their fame to mega levels or anything. it is really fucking cool, though -goob is an absolute SLUTTTTT. they are such a fucking flirt its not even funny. they have a reputation in the lesbian community for being a heartbreaker and yet they still score</3 like actually a genuine menace. serial cheater unfortunately /: just like their mama!

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

Thank you for sending me this back! I usually don't talk about how much i love some of my edits. But it's their time to shine!

First of all i should say that this portrait of Debbie is currently a GEM among my edits. I love it so much with all of my heart. The hair, the makeup, the BLOUSE. And the colors! Lately i've been trying various color schemes to diverse my edits more and this one comes out very special to me.

Second favorite is Andrea's portrait. I was just testing tattoos on her and took this portrait almost randomly but i love the way she's looking. Her eyes are full of strenght. Her previous portraits wasn't my favorite for some reason (maybe because she wore much makeup)

These ones are pretty old (from 2021) but i still geniunely love them! Especially Naomi. The idea of recreating her was rather impulsive because i was binge watching The Expanse but she comes out insanely realistic to me! She is edited a lot, i know. But her whole face structure was fully made in game. I just added some little touches of highlighting and shading. This portrait was unusual to me since i usually don't take screenshots at the background with something (just blank color surface yk) and it was fun to edit, especially draw her hair! It was almost the first time i drawn curly hair.

Second one is my self-portrait! Still my favorite because of the hairstyle, i think. This is my favorite type. I dreamed about converting it since ages when i didn't have converting skills. Too bad it haven't had much attention when i uploaded hair :( Nvm, everything is calling out to me from the hair to the colors and neat editing in here.

My favorite portraits from sci-fi series (which is no longer exist now) Rhea should've been betrayer of the squad and Paula had a role of a smart android on board. She was designed by Aaron and he took his deceased wife as a "face claim".

Still in love with these two portraits!

First one is my friend and classmate Oksana. When i showed her my creations, she asked me to recreate her in ts3. I already thought about that before she asked since she is really unique beauty! And she was also the one who supported my sims-hobby and adored my every picture. That was so cute of her. She liked the result by the way!

Second one is my "son" Freddie! I love him with all of my heart, he is just cute in this sweater even with his serious look in the eyes. This simple portrait was just for a preview picture for contacts, but it ended up being my favorite as self-dependent picture. They both came up pretty and realistic to me!

And the last one closing my top of favorites is Francine. This picture has taken in far away 2018. It is named "autumn rhapsody" on my PC. Francine really means a lot to me as a character. I developed her very well, and i wish i could tell whole story about her someday. To me, Francine is bright and melancholic just like autumn. Her color scheme is also what reminds of autumn and the last rays of sunshine that lays down on the fallen leaves.

In general i have a lot of favorite pictures of mine but they weren't posted for some reason (i'm lazy to edit them) so i hope we will see more in future!

Friday meme - tagged by @crankygrrl

Last song: currently listening to myNoise, "Sea Organ" (custom settings should be embedded in the link):

Songwise I've been spinning a lot of 70's Dolly Parton these days, but mostly running podcasts and ambient -- music is not running hot for me right now, but I expect in another few months I'll be curious and hungry for it again.

Favorite Color: I love a good phthalo green, but I adore plum purple:

Last Movie Watched: First time watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. This number was the highlight for me -- from her upside down cross looking earrings to the little black cuffs on their wrestling spankies.

An interesting cultural piece that's for sure, and I may revisit it wrt mid-20th-century meditations on mercenary heterosexuality. For example, in all the allusions and homages to That Pink Dress & Tuxedos musical number, I'd never clocked the chandelier giving Legend of the Overfiend vibes:

Currently Watching: 30 Rock, for the quintillionth time, tending my funky little rock garden of headcanons.

[e.g., Floyd DeBarber is the most insidiously terrible guy Liz ever dates -- and the alcoholism is none of it -- I really do worry about Caitlyn's mental health and physical safety, and I'm glad she has the "well fuck you too buddy" example of Liz doing Bible Mad Libs in the midst of her nuptial mass]

[oh he's gonna kill da wabbit alright : / Meanwhile, Liz subverts the genre by sailing through danger like Mr. Magoo]

[the danger in this case being 1. think you're marrying a peer 2. get your dreams sacrificed to resolve the two-body problem 3. sacrifice your body pumping out more student body for St. Prep's or whatever 4. get upgraded when Floyd makes partner]

[least. satisfying. Land of Cleve. montage. ever.]

Sweet, Spicy, or Savory: Savory, yes please.

Relationship Status: is Addams. Best friend, playmate, true co-parent, intellectual equal, and great fun to break a bed with. A few decades ago we met under an ausipicous sign:

Last thing googled: Mechanical keyboards. My typing is self-taught on a '67 Smith Corona electric and I have never been able to retrain my fingers to strike softer. I miss the satisfying typewriter thunk and tactility of Making Words Manifest.

Current Obsession: Exploring life outside of a survivial mindset.

Curent/Last Read: Blood in the Machine by Brian Merchant; Doppelganger by Naomi Klein; Feeding the Other: White Privilege and Neoliberal Stigma in Food Pantries by Rebecca de Souza; Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed (rereading); Unmasking Autism by Devon Price; The Will to Change by bell hooks; Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski (re-reading); Happiness Becomes You by Tina Turner (read in April, considering re-reading); The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow (rereading); doesn't include the ones I'm truly stalled out on or in queue.

Looking Forward To: being able to hang with friends again; cherry season; fireflies; new glasses; my first tattoo; making more art.

Tagging in all who'd like to play!

•Dazai and Kunikida have matching jewelry(Dazai has a rose-gold ring and Kunikida has a silver earring)

•He has pictures of his friends on his wall

•His favorites are the ones where you can see Atsushi getting to be a child or doing something for the first time

•He and Katai were friends in Highschool(They were both nerds)

•Kunikida has a semicolon tattoo on his wrist

•Sometimes if an Agency member (especially those who he sees as children ex: Atsushi, Tanizaki, Naomi etc) does overtime and falls asleep at their desk Kunikida will drape a blanket over them and move them to the couch to sleep

•He made a promise to himself that he would protect Atsushi

•He checks in on everyone if they haven’t shown up or if they seem a bit sad

•Easily flustered

•His favorite poem book is called “Poems in Two Volumes”(If you know anything about the IRL Kunikida Doppo you know what I’m referencing)

•He is allergic to gelatin and his allergies go haywire when it’s spring

•He was that one teacher that all the students really liked because while he was strict he was lenient if needed and very caring, and also extremely protective of his students

•He had two students Mamoru Miyano and Uemura Yuto who he worried a lot about. Miyano was a suicidal teenager who’s father was involved in a gang. And Uemura was an orphan who often came to school covered in bruises, Uemura had a tiger plush he liked to carry around(THIS IS IMPORTANT)

•Uemura was a top student and never skipped class, so when he was absent for an entire week everyone was worried. He was filed as a missing person and the friend group he was in (+Kunikida) stayed on top of the case

•A few weeks later it had been discovered that Uemura was killed by the head of his orphanage after being left out in the snow as punishment

•Miyano spiraled and didn’t talk to anyone a few weeks later Kunikida found the tiger plush and decided to take it to Uemuras gravesite, that’s when he saw something hanging from a tree

•Upon closer inspection he found that it was a person so he ran over, and he realized it was Miyano. Despite doing everything he could, Miyano was unable to be resuscitated

•Kunikida quit his job after this

•When he joined the agency the members just reminded him of his students, but when he met Dazai he almost had a breakdown because of how familiar it was

•He ended up confiding in Dazai about what happened in his teaching career

•When they met Atsushi, Kunikida straight up cried upon getting back to the dorms, because of how much like Uemura he was

•He made a promise to protect Dazai and Atsushi

•During his teaching career he and another teacher sponsored a club called the “Detective Club” which was comprised of 10 members. Mamoru and Uemura were in this club

•Those students are in college now and refused to believe the news about Kunikida being a terrorist

•He is a college dropout

•He has a list of everyone’s triggers and makes sure to avoid them

I am loving the combo of Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone. My mind auto corrects Christmas Notch to Christmas Crotch.

Can you recommend any similar books? A modern Hallmark movie with a few hard-core scenes?

So in terms of romance novels with Hallmark vibes, I admittedly don't read a lot of holiday themed romances, but I can rec some romance novels with small town vibes that are relatively low-conflict but still have good sex scenes.

There are a few Tessa Bailey books that fit the description. Her newer stuff feels overwhelmingly tame and very made-for-booktok (her next book has a hero who is a... washed up golf pro?), and some of her older stuff is a little bit too intense to be Hallmark-y (she has a series that feels Suicide Squad-inspired; a group ex-cons working on covert ops with cops, also, she wrote a lot of cop stuff back in the day). Here's what I'd recommend from her:

Fix Her Up: This will give you all the Hallmark cuteness of the brother's best friend trope set in a Long Island suburb. Georgie is a children's birthday party entertainer (clown) who's had a long-time crush on Travis, a former MLB player. They agree to fake date in order for her to be taken more seriously and so he can land a commentating gig. There's some great dirty talk in this one, and the very first sex scene ("does underwear count as over-the-clothes?") lives rent free in my head.

Unfortunately Yours: Here is my full review; Natalie is a big city girl returning to her Napa hometown, while August is an ex-soldier struggling to revive a late friend's winery. They agree to a marriage of convenience so they can both get start-up capital. The banter is great in this one, both of them give as good as they get. There's a loooot of foreplay in the build-up to piv stuff, and I personally feel that the culmination is a very emotional sex scene in the middle of a natural disaster. Outside.

Runaway Girl: Naomi is a runaway bride who takes a job coaching Jason's sister for her upcoming pageant. Naomi is an upper class debutante pageant girl while Jason is a grumpy rough-and-ready Special Forces diver so very opposites attract. It has one of my niche favorite tropes of a angsty goodbye sex scene where one of them is leaving AND YET they know deep in their bones she's getting knocked up tonight.

Other recs:

Heartless by Elsie Silver: She's a big city girl staying in a small town for the summer, and she gets roped into nanny-ing for the guy she accidentally dropped her (spare) panties in front of. He's a gruff, older rancher single dad who is initially Not Impressed, but they come around to one another. Also, the spare panties do make a return in a pretty surprising way for a small-town romance.

Forbidden Harmony by Elizabeth Kelly: Another good-girl/bad boy small town romance except with the less-than-Hallmark addition of Addison deciding to rebel against her good girl image by getting a tattoo... and multiple piercings from the hero lolol.

Try Victoria Wilder's Strutt's Peak series; it has small mountain resort town vibes and a pretty wide range in terms of content ranging from more Hallmark-y shenanigans to death threats and corporate drama. Also worth checking out Samanthe Beck— idk how much she fits the Hallmark vibe specifically but she knows how to write a great sex scene as far as contemporaries go.

Yuletide Letter Placeholder

Yuletide requests + favorite tropes below

Werewolf By Night

Elsa x Jack

Werewolf x Werewolf hunter is a criminally underused trope IMHO.

I loved how much tropey deliciousness we got in just 60 minutes with werewolf by night - trapped together while the werewolf transformed, recognizing your love interest while transformed… A++

I'd love a post-movie fic with more of those vibes.

(And this is very optional but… I won't say no to some knotting…)

Wheel of Time (TV)

Lan Mandragoran x Nynaeve al'Meara

I found their relationship a lot of fun. I liked that Nyneave is clearly very smart and has a lot of experience… except with feelings (especially her own).

Also it was not lost on me that if Lan was ever restored… and married Nynaeve…. she would be a princess. Which I think Nynaeve would scoff at and then be really good at.

Normally I am not interested in kid!fic but after what Nynaeve went through in the arches I would love to see her and Lan have a daughter and live happily ever after.

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Jane, Sabina, Elena

I ship Sabina/Jane but wanted to add Elena in case you, Dear Author, are interested in writing a mission fic and/or something gen.

I really love Sabina/Jane. I think they have a very classic by-the-book serious person/much more creative, bohemian person (and it's super sexy when it's two lady spies).

Jane and Sabina getting together, them as an established couple going on missions, a lazy day off I'm interested in it all – whatever you like.

That said? Sabina smacking her own ass with that crop? Made me REALLY want a Jane/Sabina fic where Jane spanks/uses a crop on Sabina.

Scholomance - Naomi Novik

El, Orion, Gwen

I would love to see El and Orion post series hunting Maw-Mouths across the world together - I really enjoyed the stable but "the adventure continues" ending of the series.

I'd also be interested in an AU where they both make it out at graduation and Orion goes off to Wales to find El. When El and Orion were at the end of The Last Graduate I was really hoping for "Orion shows up at the commune, Gwen has to deal with the golden boy of New York City Enclave who is in love with her would-make-a-great-dark-sorcerous daughter."

Also please no pregnancy/kids.

Some of my favorite tropes in general if you're looking for additional inspiration:

drunk kissing they both enjoyed but neither admits because they don't think the other feels the same way"

the “this is your house I’m not making you sleep on the couch” “yeah but you’re the guest you take the bed” conversation between ur otp right before they share the bed reblog if u agree

Enemies to lovers

Praise kink

Clothes sharing

Helping someone dress or undress

Friends to Lovers

Enemies to Friends to Lovers

Fake Dating/Fake Marriage Accidentally Turns Into Feelings

Seemingly Unrequited Pining

‘Falling For A Coworker/Teammate Is A Bad Idea’ Except This Is Fiction So It Works Out

And They Were Roommates!

Hurt/Comfort

Found Families

Bed sharing

PWP

Date to a wedding

Secret romance/sneaking around

shower/bath sex

naked cuddling for warmth

Sexy sparring

Greencard marriage

when a character gets wounded and they go to their love interest for help and while they’re getting their injuries cleaned and patched up they flinch from the sting of the antiseptic and their love interest says “hold still” in an exasperated but touchingly concerned tone of voice and then they accidentally make eye contact or brush hands and just freeze in that position until the tension in the room is nearly unberable before both looking away and pretending the unspoken thing that just passed between them never happened

Undercover as couple

Sex sparring

i just saw a thing on fb like ‘does somebody wanna be fake engaged to me for like 2 hours to try free wedding cake samples’ and im just…………………imagine ur otp 

Sex pollen

Trapped in an elevator/snowed in/mineshaft

witch/werewolf au

hurt/comfort

favorite mini trope is “oh no danger is coming we must press ourselves against each other in this confined space” followed by “the danger has passed yet we’re still like this (awkward silence)”

Larger Then Life : 1 - Profiles

~

Okay my idea is that 'celebrities' are in a mansion during the run of the show. Of course they are free to come and go as they please to film, go to concerts or whatever but just so they stay within the vicinities they are within the isolated community with each other. But let me know cause we can do a gated community instead.

~ Also I made the intros 😁 ~

Reason there: Kassie was part of a group with her sisters and best friend. They never really took off and broke up. She wants to try and make it without her sisters.

Friends already there: Taylor Swift (though Taylor just keeps her around to look good), Selena, Zendaya

Enemies already there: none.

Known drama: tends to spill a lot more then she means to because she thinks before she talks and was the one to tell Selena Justin was cheating on her.

Known work/ songs / acting: Model, minor singer

Reason there: Hoodie is a member of the KPOP group Red Velvet. But her true passion is in rapping, she even asked Doja Cat to help sign her but she can't prove herself in a group like red velvet. She's hoping she'll be able to break out of the mold her company put her in even if that means leaving the group as well.

Friends already there: Jay Park, Jessi, Joy & Wendy (Red velvet), Jackson Wang, Doja Cat

Enemies already there: Irene, Seulgi & Yeri from Red Velvet (They are upset that she wants to leave and feels she's purposely trying to break up the band),

Known drama: Currently at odd with half of her group who feel she is trying to break up the band to advance her career rather then trying to support the group as a whole.

Known work/ songs / acting: Member of Red Velvet

Reason there: she is still looked at as the little girl from the Australian family sitcom that she acted on when she was a child. No matter how much she proves herself to be more then just a child actor trying to still act she can't seem to catch a break. She's trying to prove she can be more then just the young 5 year old the public saw her as

Friends already there: Ed styles, William Tomlinson, Ian Payne, Liam Hemsworth, Anya Taylor Joy

Enemies already there: Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez

Known drama: Rumor has it Liam and Miley have been messing around but that hasn't stop Draven from doing it too - after all they aren't exclusive || also Draven having no filter on twister has caused some arguments with others as well.

Known work/ songs / acting:

Reason there: Known as just a model. No matter what beautiful art she makes or that she personally tattoos many celebrities with her designs people just see her as just another model thats dating the it boy of the moment hoping to gain something from it. She's more then that and she's here to show it.

Friends already there: Tyler Posey, Dylan O Brien, Nick Jonas, Emma Watson, Bella Thorne

Enemies already there: Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner

Known drama: is known as a pushover and lacks the skill it takes for confrontation leading many in the modeling industry to bully her when she gets a job over them || Thought to have only gotten her acting gig because she is Tylers girlfriend.

Known work/ songs / acting: Model & minor actress in Teen Wolf with Tyler posey

Reason there: Ever since Naomi was a kid she knew she wanted to see her name in lights and to be looked at with awe. Her mother is a lawyer for a few agencies and when she found out about the show from her she knew she had to get on. She was going to get her name in lights no matter what.

Friends already there: ----

Enemies already there:----

Known drama: ------

Known work/ songs / acting: -----

Reason there: Katya is a background dancer that wants to make more of a name for herself. She is providing for her family after the loss of her mother. She knows being in the background isn't making her enough so time to be in the spotlight

Friends already there: Damien Thorne, Austin Butler, Tatiana Prudence, Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis

Enemies already there: Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Beil

Known drama: Her friendship with Austin & Justin is seen as overly friendly causing tension with their significant others

Known work/ songs / acting: background dancer for Beyonce & Justin Beiber, dancer & choreographer for Sweet Trauma & JT

Reason there: Despite being known in Asia as a core member of the JPOP/KPOP girl group Candie, she is seen as either just Lady Gaga's adopted daughter or just the girlfriend of Liam Payne who got where she is because of both those things. She wants to prove that she can stand on her own without relying on the more famous around her.

Friends already there: Liam Payne & One direction, Kitty Morrose, Damien Thorne, Robin Hargrove, Maximus Valente, GDragon, Jackson Wang, Jade Gillies, Cassie Dawson

Enemies already there: Bobby Kim, Jisoo Kim, Nate Jacob

Known drama: Since dating Liam a lot of her past with people in Asia has come out and the hate thats came from that caused her, Bobby and Jisoo to fall out. || rumor has it - Liam is trying to prevent her musical career.

Known work/ songs / acting: Being on The Craft TV series, former member of Candie

Reason there: She hated her life as a child model to overbearing fashion icon mother and had to suffer while father was struggling on the wrestling circuit. Despite hating being a model she did make a name for herself (forcefully from her mother and acting from her father) she spiraled for a bit but after making friends with Kylie Jenner, the socialite helped her steady herself. Though now, people see Adi as just another spoiled former child model and daughter of a rich celebrity. But she's here to say she's more then that and she always has been. She just has to make the public see the truth.

Friends already there: Kylie Jenner, Xavier Samuel, Lil Nas X, Vanessa Hudgens, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Maddy Ortiz, Dylan O Brien, Justin Beiber, the Hadid sisters,

Enemies already there: Kendall Jenner, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts

Known drama: Kendall is jealous of her relationship with Kylie and Kris || After filming with both Emma & Demi she immediately disliked both of them and they feel the same about her || Justin cheated on Selena with her - though she didn't know they were together.

VERSES

BIOGRAPHY

TL;DR

Raisa Turner is the only child of famed hunter Rufus Turner. She was raised by her mother, but talked to her father every night on the phone. He never missed a single night and would come home for visits for her big moments, regardless of what stage of the on and off again relationship with her mother he was in. Her father made it very clear that he wanted her to have a normal life and only told her these things to keep her safe, however, by the time she was fifteen she had started sneaking out to hunt on her own because she couldn't imagine ignoring her ability to save others from the monsters they didn't know about. Her life was tragically cut short when Bobby asked her to help them on a case in Omaha, Nebraska as a get away driver. She was killed by a vetala in the network they were trying to take down. Now, Raisa has found herself resurrected and instantly dove back into hunting with hopes of finding Bobby and her father along the way.

FULL BIO

Raisa Turner was born to Rufus Turner and his on again off again girlfriend Whitney Hart on August 24, 1975. Rufus had insisted on a more traditional Hebrew name for her first name. The couple fought a lot, particularly because Rufus was always on the road hunting and Whitney wanted no part of that kind of lifestyle. The pregnancy had been a failed attempt to get Rufus to settle down and have a family with her. That plan was doomed from the start because of how desperately Rufus wanted to help others, since hunting was all that he had known for most of his life. So, Raisa stayed with her mother, visited by Rufus frequently and called every single day. She was always closer to Rufus, her mother was always a bit of a mess. Raisa never felt half as close to her as she did her father.

Raisa resided in Canaan, Vermont for her entire life. By the time she was twelve, she knew that her father chased and killed the many monsters of the world. From that time on, when Rufus called he told her about all he had seen that day, which she dutifully wrote down in a journal. He wanted her to know about these things in case she ever came in contact with one, but he was hellbent on her having the most normal life that she could with a hunter father.  To please her father, Raisa continued to do well in school and talked about mostly made up dreams of what she wanted to do with her life after she got into a good college. You see, she wanted to save people like her dad did because she had heard the awful situation that drove her father to hunting and wanted to prevent more people from dying because of or ever knowing about the supernatural.

However, Rufus also knew that she had to learn how to defend herself, when he was running around on cases with Bobby. Most of her training was done around the house between cases by Rufus himself, with some help from Bobby every once in a while when the two really started to run around together. She pretended this was all she really needed, even though an apple pie life didn’t seem all that interesting to her, because if she did have a family the secrets she would have to keep would be too much to handle and the world needed more people killing all of the stupid monsters out there. This caused her to be weary of having too many close friends, let alone trying to pursue anyone romantically. 

Unbeknownst to Rufus and Bobby, Raisa was a pretty decent hunter. She took on cases herself during school breaks, particularly the summer months, and short ones close by on a few weekends. Sneaking around wasn’t too hard around her mother, telling her she was going to a friend’s house for a few days and never venturing too far from home. Her father would have known something was up if she wasn’t home to talk to him on the phone for too long of a time period. This had all been happening since she was about fifteen, taking the extra car sitting around the house without paying too much mind to the law. The girl could have used more actual experience, but she had basically memorized the list of monsters her father had fought, signs that pointed to the different types and all of their weaknesses. There was only one case that she did on her own that floats around in her memory that had been a close call. 

A year after she had graduated high school, her father had been home for about a month, vehemently trying to convince her to stay in college instead of dropping out to pursue hunting. Bobby had come around talking about a big hunt that he didn’t tell John about, because John would try to go it alone and cart his boys along who had been in the same school for a few months this time. John Winchester was one of Bobby’s other friends and he had two sons that Raisa had never met because her father kept her existence a secret from most hunters apart from Bobby. Rufus went along to help Bobby, considering the case had been pretty large and needed to be resolved before more people were killed. Raisa begged to go but her father vehemently disagreed with her wishes. 

Bobby had called her to come down once they got there, after really seeing the damage the monsters had dealt. They needed a getaway driver and lookout. Rufus was pretty angry and had almost walked away from the hunt, but ultimately let her stay if she stayed out of it.. Raisa saw it as an opportunity to prove to Rufus that she could hold her own and wanted to dedicate her life to saving other people like he had, even if Bobby himself didn’t want her to put herself out there in the hunting aspect of the whole thing because Raisa was all that Rufus really had. Monsters in large cities seemed to be more organized and allied, finding ways to attempt to hide their existence from anyone that might be looking too closely. A strong and numerous alliance of Vetalas were what awaited them there. A very rare occurrence, considering the monsters kept to themselves and with only a partner as companionship.

But the ten or so pairs of Vetalas were able to keep the peace if it meant that they would go undetected by hunters or cause too much of a citywide panic with the amount of victims they were taking. A pair of them in particular grew tired of the rules, however, and started to slip up just enough for Bobby to catch on. They realized they were quite over their head with the case when they realized there were almost twenty vetalas that needed to be killed. They had done pretty well, killing almost all of them them without getting caught by changing vehicles and motel rooms through different parts of the city. However, their last getaway on June 18, 1993 ended in tragedy.

Raisa had been called into town by Bobby as she had been close by on a trip with her mother. One minute, she's waiting outside the last abandoned warehouse that Rufus and Bobby had canvassed as a vetala den and the next she was being yanked out by a pair of vetala that they hadn't accounted for. Raisa being dragged inside had been enough of a distraction for the monster inside to subdue Bobby and Rufus. Raisa's last moments were watching her dad beg for them to spare her life. The blind rage Rufus felt had assisted enough for him to break free and he and Bobby were able to take care of the three remaining vetala. The two men parted ways and Rufus didn't so much as text Bobby back for years.

She didn’t fight the reaper and understood that it was better for her to go along than to fight, because she did not want to end up a vengeful spirit that terrorized people. Raisa was too warm-hearted for that. She spent many years in Heaven with her mother, trying to find any way to check in on how her father was doing. But the thing about Heaven was that you were supposed to focus on your memories and loved ones that were in Heaven with you, not the ones that were still alive on Earth. One day, she woke up alive and well back on Earth. Her first instinct was to go back to her house, but it was abandoned and it didn’t look like her father nor her mother had been there in years. Of course it was easy to find her mother and get the few things of hers she had saved, but she hadn't heard from Rufus since Raisa's death. It’s been a while and she’s just trying to find her father or Bobby, feeling like her connection to her mother was completely cut off with her death.

** Raisa is an OC that was thought of before the mun knew Rufus having a daughter was confirmed by Bobby Singer’s Guide to Hunting written by one of the spn writers. Some of her story is loosely based off the sparse information about her found in that book**

Bio

Indie never had dreams to end up in hollywood, her main goal was out of the U.S. - clearly she failed there

Her own mother had put aside her dreams of being an pilot when she was born. Caroline Jones was 26 with a newborn and her ass freshly kicked to the streets. By all definition she wasn't a teen mom, but she had been having an affair with a married man and shunned by her community.

Caroline moved from her Texas hometown to Arizona where a friend was offering a couch and a roof over her child's head.

For most of Indie's childhood, it was her, her mom, and Miss Martha, the woman who took them in. Although the same age as her mother, aunt martha was on all accounts the mother she needed.

Course her mother was in school for a lot of Indie's developmental years but even after that, her mother worked all the time and aunt martha did most of the raising. she was her discipliner, her cheerleader, and her confidant. everything the woman who gave birth to her was not.

She lost that the moment aunt martha got married. Indie wasn't exactly happy for her but she couldn't argue.

When Indie was 15, she and her mother moved to their own apartment.

At the new school, Indi joined the newspaper. Being forced to join a club so her mother could trust she was safe somewhere while she worked late.

She wasn't really a fan of the newpaper club, writing had never been her forte. When the media team came looking for help, she was a bit too eager to make the switch.

Being in front of the camera had been an easy adjustment. She had spent years putting on 'shows' for her aunt and she had the advantage of being a part of things without having to be part of it.

That was never something she saw herself doing for the future, it didn't seem like it would bring enough money, but it was something she continued in college.

Indie took her first chance to get away from home with college. Where she majored in business with plans to do something and minored in strategic communications mainly for fun.

While in her junior year, her mother got married. A wedding she didn't care to attend. Her mother still hasn't forgiven her.

Indi didn't enter the media world until she was 25, where she started as an assistant. It only took 2 years for her to become the face of the job she now loves.

Indi has been working as the main media personality for a big company for 4 years now. Red carpet interviews, hosting events, fashion takes.

Now she's looking to expand her portfolio, though she's not sure which direction.

Will Solace hcs cause he SOLOS!!!! Stay mad haters

(Both in the demigods world and in a mortal!au)

Hes a bisexual icon

He was short as a child. And i mean. Shorter than the common child. I mean short SHORT. He wasnt known as Will Solace he was known as The Blond Smurf. Shortest in the class type of beat. Everyone thought that he was going to be like 5'7" MAX as an adult.

Got a massive grown spurt when he was like 14 and now hes like 6'1" (people didnt reconize him anymore. Someone started a rumor that some big ass giant took him and pulled him from his head and his feets and that was why he had become so tall. Everyone was terrified.)

He uses guns as his weapon of choice against monsters!! He sucks with close combat and finds the bow somehow boring. Plus! His granddad taught him how to shot when he was younger (Naomi wasnt that happy to see her 10yo with a gun) so he had a sort of emotial bond to that type of weapon.

He specifically asked the Hephaestus cabin to build him a pair of semi automatics and hes this 🤏🏻 close to give them a name and tug their bedsheets for nighttime

He has plague powers. STOP BEING COWARDS YOU ALL KNOW HE DOES!!

He never uses them tho because hes really ashamed of them

Hes a dog dad. By which i mean that he has not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4 but 5 dogs ☺️ One Golden Retriever (named Shiro) that was the Solaces family dog, one light weiner (Burrito) that was gifted to Will by a friend, two pitbulls (Mila and Bee) adopted from the dog shelter and lastly one mutt (sandy) personally saved by Will from an abusive home.

He loves dogs guys he truly does

Hes actually very good as sports! Hes especially great at Volleyball and Basketball, and in his High School hes part of the basketball team.

Hes very close with Leo & Clarisse they are literally bffs

Nico taught him italian swears and hes able to say "testa di cazzo" and "pezzo di merda" as fluently as a native speaker

When he was young he always dressed up as young Anakin

Once he got older he dressed up as Luke, Han and older Anakin

Hes like. VERY protective with people he loves. Not in an oppressive way tho

Hes one FINE mf and i mean it that man Is ANGELIC

He doesnt really see it tho

He decided he wanted to be a doctor when in 5th grade the school organized an obligatory first aid course for the kids. It was very basic but Will instantly fell in love.

He eats. A lot. Like he can eat 2 large pizzas alone and still ask for a dessert. His friends use him as a sort of trashcan because of this. "Oh you cant finish whats in your plate? Just give it to Will! He'll eat everything"

Han Solo was his bi awakening

He likes to bake! Not as much as he loves to eat tho

He surfs (ofc....) and try to make Nico learn it (spoiler: he sucks)

He has tattoos. People lets accept the truth. He does. Hes FULL of them. Big ones, little ones, dumb things, phrases, animals... Everything. He loves them.

He has a... Weird fashion sense. By this i mean its horrible. Yes i know. Its an ugly truth, but its the truth. He couldnt be that level of flawless...

Drew tries to help, she really does, but Will just cant seem to comprehend whats wrong with his fashion sense. Sandals with socks, different prints together, 9374928392 colors together seems all reasonable to him

His average body temperature Is around 37°/38° C. Didnt have much fun during covid times. (Gonna post about this specific hc in the future hehe)

He loves tangled. He LOVES tangled.

Nico forces him to dress up as Rapunzel while he dresses up as Flynn Rider.

Hes also a big fan of Shrek. Watched those movies a ton of times

One hand on the wheel, the other on the e-brake.

The seat felt too small for his liking as the fine leather pulled him in. Yuta wanted to fleet already, to fly off into the road, victoriously cross the finish line. He choked up in the containment of the seatbelt and the heavy expectations; too much was on the line for him.

With trembling hands and sweaty palms, he pushes back the bangs that grew too long for his small face, dyed a cherry red to fit the color of his ride. He uses a Hello Kitty hair clip to keep them off his face, one that you ironically gifted him on his first race win that he still holds onto like treasure in his pockets. The studded cuffs and noisy chains on his wrists dangle swiftly in the movement, and he decides to fix the front mirror in a compulsive urge that overwhelms him.

Hanging from it is a pair of those kitsch plushie dice and an old, battered-down picture. Him with a man that’s worn out from time but still looks a ton like Yuta; same nose, same smile, a same glint in his eyes. Yuta hears the sudden rev coming from the car on his left; it’s loud and piercing but it’s not enough to pull him out of the moment, still taking the time to kiss the pads of his fingers and touch the face of the man depicted.

It’s hot and humid in his car, especially after he turned the AC off to avoid any water spillage on the street. For a moment he catches his reflection in the mirror, sees the sweat droplets that collect around his temples and draw a wet path along his neck, right over the matching tattoo you got together. He smiles at the memory of you holding onto his hand for dear life, cussing out anything and everything on your sight as the needle pierced your skin.

It’s a chrome engine tattoo, pulsating to life along with his veins, the very first component that you installed in his car.

This race is for you.

It seems like yesterday when he rolled into your family’s car shop for the first time, freshly turned 20 and asking for the best mechanic available to help tune his car. He heard your father call your name, and soon you walked in proudly, in your oil spilled overalls and hair pulled up in a pretty ponytail. You barely sent a look his way, too preoccupied with eyeing up his ride suspiciously, while Yuta’s stomach rumbled with butterflies.

“A Nissan Skyline R34”, you deadpanned and Yuta swelled up with pride, smile shining ever so brightly next to the dusty exterior.

“I’m ‘going to Mexico’ in two weeks against a Porsche 911. I’m planning on winning.”

“With this piece of bone stock? You must be kidding.”

“That’s why I came here. I’m planning on making this baby faster.”

Walking slowly in circles around the vehicle, you estimated the rust damage, deciding to then pop up the hood. You frowned silently in concentration as you inspected the engine carefully for any fluid leaks, corrosion, or any cracked hoses and belts.

“It’s in an ok condition, I must admit, the mileage is pretty good too. But it’s still not good enough for most drag races. Maybe if you sold it for a-”

“Not happening”

Startled by the absolution in his voice, you finally took a moment to look at the boy standing before you. He was plainly dressed, with a simple tank top that hugged his torso tightly and blue jeans that bagged out just enough. His long fingers were decorated by bulky rings, shaped like crosses and hearts and scary skulls, and while the shaved patch on his eyebrow gave an edge to his appearance, his eyes to you seemed sweet like honey.

“If you make a good investment now you can get a car that can hold up better for competitions. Think about-“

“I said. It’s not happening.” You watched him curiously as he sighed in disappointment, his sharp shoulders slumping in deflation. “If you’re not gonna help me I’ll go find somebody else. But I’m not selling this car.”

“May I ask why?”

It was fate, or maybe pure curiosity. If this was any other customer you would have turned on your heel already, too deep in work to worry about a random man’s drag racing capriccio.

“This car once belonged to my grandpa. He was a famous drifter, did drag races too. He’d talk to me about all the car meets he went to and all the interesting people he met. My family doesn’t understand this world, thinks it’s stupid and dangerous and maybe it is, so they sold all his other rides”. He approached the low car, softly caressing its faded paint. “But this one he wanted me to keep. It was his last wish before he-“

“I’m sorry”, you whispered when he choked up, still staring as he waved his hands over his face.

“No, I understand”, he chuckles defeatedly, “You’re not the first car shop to turn me down.”

You thought this would be the end of the conversation with the handsome stranger, just a faint memory that would soon be hidden somewhere in your hippocampus when he slapped a band of bills on the trunk, making your eyes bulge out of your head. It was 100s. Thousands of worth.

“Where the hell did you get this?”

“From racing.”

“With that thing? You must be good”

“Thanks?”, Yuta tittered, tugged between flattery and offense, his breath hitching in his throat in anticipation when you spoke again.

“Come by tomorrow at 6 am. We have a lot to do.”

New engine, new tires, new exhaust. That’s how you made your first appearance at the next local car meet, your freshly painted “Cherry Bomb” making the JDM lovers swoon at her red beauty. Every time you’d rev between the crowds of car fanatics, your duo would have a brand new spec to show off, making your name well known in the small underground community. “The ever-growing ride”, your father would jokingly call it, reminiscent of the ever-growing friendship between you and Yuta.

At the drag racing events, people knew you as ‘Yuta’s girl’, but it was really you who took him under your wing and he was grateful for it. Slowly but steadily, Yuta became a part of your little car shop family, basking in the acceptance of your folks and hurting as he witnessed your financial difficulties. He wasn’t just a sponsor, but an endless source of inspiration for you as well, sharing stories of all the races you prepared the cars for but never attended until he’d finally invite you to join him.

That glow in your eyes at the sight of all the tuners was enough of a reason for Yuta to ask you to accompany him every time; his personal human lucky charm. He justified it somehow, saying that “his mechanic should be there just in case”, successfully ignoring the real reason behind his request that bubbled in the form of a beating heart. And it was true, that you knew his car better than anyone, but you also knew everything ‘under the hood’ of Yuta’s heart. All his ambitions, worries, his insecurities. They became yours as well, you felt them even deeper every time he crossed that finish line.

And it’s confusing to everyone but to you both as well, how you keep labeling your duo as ‘just best friends’. Even when he insists that you kiss his cheek every time he rides the asphalt for good luck. Even if the way you run into his arms the moment he walks out of his vehicle is too intimate to be friendly.

It was just last week, at a car meet like any other that he placed tonight’s important bet.

You and Yuta liked rolling in the meeting area a little late, basking in the whistles of all the impressed car enthusiasts. Opening the truck after you parked, you took out a couple of beers that you kept in a cooler, and sat with him on the hood as you casually chatted with a guy around your age.

“Nice ride man. What’s your most precious compartment?”

“This one”, Yuta stated matter-of-factly as he pointed at you, then used the same hand to bring your intertwined fingers to his lips, “She made it all possible. Smartest girl in town.”

You take a sip from your drink to cool your face down, your heart swelling with his praise. The man chuckles at the sight of you so close yet so shy towards each other, ending this part of the conversation with a nod of agreement.

“I see. I was asking because my friend is in town and he has the same car, well, the skeleton at least. Same horsepower too.”

“And?”

“...And I was looking for a good competitor”, another man answers instead, presumably the aforementioned friend. “Lee Taeyong”, he introduces himself, shaking Yuta’s hand and playing with his car keys with the other.

It was glaringly obvious that Taeyong wasn’t from around town. Dressed in Gucci from head to toe and covered in expensive jewelry, he dripped with an opulence that didn’t fit anyone around him. It seemed strange to you that he didn’t come over with a supercar or something, but then again, collecting cars from the ’90s can be equally as expensive.

“I wanna ‘go to Mexico’ before I leave for Macau. And I want to have some extra money to spend”

“Too bad the money’s going to me”, was Yuta’s smooth response, and you tried not to smile too wide at his rightful certainty.

“So, you’re in?”

“Depends on the prize”

“How about ten grand?”

The mention of the number made you choke on your beer, the amount of money being unfathomable to you. In this city, a couple of thousands alone seemed like a pretty big deal, with most of the racers being truck drivers or small business owners. You expected Yuta to politely decline, or maybe point him to a wealthier racer when he reached out his hand in agreement.

Immediately your mouth went dry, tugging the sleeve of his shirt in shock. This kind of loss would put him into bankruptcy, and Taeyong didn’t seem like a guy that would let a bet of this caliber go. He ignored you with a smile until they settled the details, and then ignored you some more when you nagged him about his terrible money handling.

“It’ll be okay”, was what he simply told you that day, and what he repeated again tonight before getting in his car.

You had faith in his abilities, that much was true, but your love for him exceeded it by much. It made your legs shake from nerves that you couldn’t get rid of, your eyes welled up with anxious tears. He had put you in his arms to calm you down, as if you were the one in need of relaxing, in those kinds of hugs that muted the commotion of the people around you and made your whole body feel weightless.

“Be careful”, you mumbled through his shirt, your face hidden safely in the fabric and ignoring the curious stares that the spectators sent your way. His hands were playing with your hair softly in response, and you loosen your grip on him for a second to take a good look at his face before he hit the road.

“Let’s make a bet of our own”, he suggested, in a voice so low that you’d have missed it if you weren’t so close to him. “How about I take you out for dinner if I win?”

“Like a celebratory dinner?”

“Like a date. My treat.”

You were taken aback by how serious he was being, chuckling nervously at the proposition.

“Well, if you lose I might have to buy your broke ass dinner every day.”

“Is that a yes or a no?”

You leaned up to reach his face, petting his hair out of his cheeks until you found the upturned corner of his mouth, then planted a soft kiss right over the fold. His hands were still keeping your bodies flushed together, heartbeats beating so hard that your pulses overlapped and danced with one another. A promise, lingering in the night breeze and the faint lines of friendship you toyed with for months now took the form of your pink lipstick on the side of his lips tonight.

“Yes. Now go get ‘em”

He was reluctant yet he let you go, ignoring Taeyong’s teasings and entering his Skyline. It was this very series of events that brought him to this moment, staring at your extended arms as you stood between the two cars, preparing to give their cue to start.

This was a ‘heads up’ race, meaning that whoever crosses the finish line first, wins. They’d compete at a simple “U” shaped course, testing both their mechanics and driving abilities.

Yuta slowly eases his feet off the clutch, pressing into the accelerator until he feels the car pulling him forward. This is it.

“Ready?” you shout over the loud exhausts, and start counting once you get a nod from both, “3, 2, 1, GO!”

Pushing down the e-brake as hard as he can, he lets his car launch into the street. Taeyong is just a few seconds ahead of him, getting a slightly better head start, so Yuta doesn’t waste any more time to go into full throttle. The index of the speedometer passes by the three-digit numbers with as much urgency as him.

And you were just as nervous, if not even more, staring at the two cars battling head to head. In just a few second’s it’d be time for the big turn, and you plant your right foot into the concrete as if you could slow down Yuta’s car for him.

But he doesn’t.

A scream gets caught in your throat as he takes the turn in full speed, pulling a drift that lives up to his grandfather’s reputation. The crowd cheers enthusiastically, zooming in as they take videos of the dangerous stunt that’s hardly ever witnessed live. With such a small decrease in speed, Yuta widens the margin between him and Taeyong by a whole lot, victoriously accelerating to the finish line.

Men, children, young women, they all gather around his vehicle that’s slowly cooling down, congratulating him on the win and the newly earned money. Yuta is polite to them all, shaking their hands and flashing them his beautiful smile, yet his eyes are searching past them, looking for you.

“Y/n!”, he yells at you as you walk away from the scene quickly, hiding your face with the sleeve of your jacket. “Where are you going?”

Usually you’d have tackled him already, jump in his embrace as you’d gush over his skills. The sight of you leaving in such a hurry worries him deeply, wondering if anyone had hurt you while he was gone.

He finally reaches your speed as you enter the underdeck parking area of a nearby building and manages to pull you back, only to see your face covered in hot tears.

“Why are you crying? What happened?”

“Are you kidding me? You could have died out there!”

The sound of your sobs blocking out your voice makes his heart break into million pieces, reaching out to pull you in a hug that you reject.

“I’m fine! I know that turn was risky but I-”

“You got lucky Yuta, that’s what you did! Do you have any idea what it feels like to see someone you love risking their lives?”

“Love?”

“Yes! Love! Is that it? Will me admitting how fucking in love I am with you stop you from acting dumb again? Because I-”

Yuta kisses you with such force that you stumble back a little, gasping for air as it’s being knocked out of your lungs. Your lips taste salty, like the tears that cover your cheeks, and he places his thumbs right over them until he’s rubbed your skin dry. You could be kissing for five minutes or five hours, you’re not really sure; times flies by so fast when you breathe the same air as the person you’ve been pining over for so long.

A hand sneaks past your jacket and wraps around your waist, his rings feeling so cold against your skin that you yelp a little. Yuta swallows the sound but breaks the kiss to make sure you’re feeling better, connecting his forehead with yours when he sees that you’ve stopped crying.

“I’m an idiot”

“Yeah”, you agree and it makes him chuckle, burying his face in your neck as you continue, “your life is worth so much more than all that money”

“I did it for you.”

“What?”

He sighs in your skin and stands up straight again, rubbing his neck right over his tattoo.

“I wanted to give the money to your family. I’ve seen you struggling to keep the shop open and I know you sell me the parts for much cheaper, not to mention all the hard work you’ve put into my car. You’ve given me so much and a simple ‘thank you’ is not enough. I wanted to give back to you.”

You wrap your hands around his neck, playing with the little hairs on the nape of it. He closes his eyes at the feeling, giving in to the serenity of the moment and the sweet sound of your voice.

“You already do. Being around you and being a part of the thing you love most- it’s given me a new drive to work and be better. I’ve grown with you, and I know you appreciate me. You didn’t have to risk your life for me to know.”

Yuta kisses you again, whispering small ‘I love you’s over your lips. You hear a faint voice calling him from afar, yet he doesn’t move an inch away from you.

“You’re worth risking it all.”
