[aalissy]

Do you have any miraculous smut fics that you recommend?

Yes, I do! Not sure if you've read these before but these are a few of my own personal all-time faves. Most of these are Adrienette bc that's mainly the pairing I read but I included some other love square ships too hehe.

Check the fics out under the read more!

Mix-Up: Adrienette, multi-chapter fic, completed. Really, really fun fic with a case of mistaken identities to boot!

tell me what you want so we can do just what you like by a_miiraculer and clairelutra: Ladynoir, one-shot, A/B/O. Omg I loved this lil one-shot! I tend to prefer reading Maribug as an Alpha but her being an Omega works sooo well in this fic!

Always Remember to Knock by AlyaSin: Adrienette, multi-chapter fic, completed. Fun lil Adrienette roommates AU bc I'm suchhhh a sucker for these two living together.

Allez Savoir Pourquoi and Amour Fou by Yilena: Adrienette, series, complete. I'm suchhh a sucker for this series omg. Soulmate AU with a lil bit of mistaken identities! Just so so fun!!

VIP Pass by thtzwhatuthink: Adrienette, oneshot. Aged-up Adrienette which is such a good, flirty read hehe. Plus the jacuzzi scene is 🥵

not so gentlemanly by breeeliss: Ladrien, oneshot. Good Ladrien PWP bc these two can never get enough of each other hehehe 😏

Very Close Friends and Spooky Scary Jealousy by Icedcoffeeslut: Adrienette, series, FWB. Yesss, I love this series bc jealous Adrien is the best esp when they're both pining for each other hehe.

double je by darkavenue: Marichat, multi-chapter fic, completed. Just some good, lovely, Marichat smut!

tongues of mortals and angels by Chiomi: Marichat, multi-chapter fic, completed. Marichat FWB AU bc I loveee realizations and pining hehehe.

Adulting by Lara Winner: Marichat, Adrienette, oneshot. Suchhh a good Marichat fic omg. Plus Adrienette are married in it which is always a good bonus :)

Inside of You by Lara Winner: Adrienette, multi-chapter, WIP. Realllllyyy good Adrienette fic omg. I loveeee Adrien's reactions in this fic it's soo good.

Sunshine's Awakening by LadyRhiX: Adrienette, multi-chapter, WIP. Innocent, oblivious Adrien ftwwww. I just love how sweet and also sinful Adrienette are in this!

once more, with feeling by zimtlein: Enemies-to-lovers love square, multi-chapter fic, completed. Oooffff this fic just destroys meeee. The pain of knowing Adrien's being manipulated by his father whilst also overwhelmingly in love with Marinette is crazy.

Wild Abandon by ZiriO: A/B/O love-square, multi-chapter fic, WIP. One of my absolute favorites for this trope hehe. I just love how smitten Adrien is with Marinette.

In Heat by EikaTsukiyomi: In heat love-square, multi-chapter fic, WIP. One of my all-time faves omg. This fic is so so so good!! Especially bc of how clueless our two leads are heheh.

one night of moonlight by calloffyourethics: College AU, Adrienette, one-shot. Probably my all-time fave fic haha. I've read this fic sooo much omg. The characters are sooo in-character and lovely. Plus I just love that they both know whilst the other doesn't know that they know hehe.

Hope that you liked these and that there were some in here that you hadn't read before! It was fun doing this hahah. Plus, I got to revisit some of my old faves 💞

weekly tag wednesday 💌

tagged by @jrooc @sgtmickeyslaughter @stocious @thepupperino 🖤

name and ao3 handle: michelle, mmmichyyy

current location: sitting at my desk at work

favorite picrew (don't have one? you can skip this or do this one)?

what's one thing you want in a picrew? hmmm no opinion

favourite thing you’ve created for the fandom? my fic a lot like love

why is it your favourite? fwb to lovers is one of my fave tropes and i liked writing the angst and the non-linear structure in this one

did it come easily or was it hard to create? surprisingly i finished writing it in two weeks, which is considered fast for me lol

last ao3 fic you commented on? the man of metropolis steals our hearts by @sgtmickeyslaughter

biggest wip heartache you’ve ever experienced? things beyond mistake which i see we are all collectively aching over :(

favorite trope or head cannon you like included in a fanfic? forced close proximity and 'there was only one bed' gets me every time, also i like when ian and mickey are both idiots (affectionate) and share one brain cell

least favourite? not a huge fan of a/b/o (with an exception of a few fics) and when you can tell the writer doesn't like ian or isn't empathetic of mental illnesses

secret or surprising kink or trope? my secrets kinks are between me and my ao3 history

describe how you feel after you’ve created something new? a moment of relief after posting, followed by dread from the pressure of needing to update

top hype man you have that always helps you get across the finish line: i am too shy and anxious to share my words before posting (even though i know everyone here is very supportive), but i am eternally grateful for all the lovely comments i get afterwards

it's been a bad day, you turn to the fandom and you _____? read angsty and depressing fics to feel even more depressed

For the Romance Trope Ask Game

2 and 4. Thank you.

Rose💜

Friends to Lovers

*steps on soapbox* Friends to Lovers, when executed correctly, is NOT a fluffy trope. It is pain. It is the absolute terror of realizing you are in love with someone you are not supposed to be in love with. It is the knife-edge fear of them finding out, and also of them never finding out. It is the way the piner is constantly hurt by the one who doesn't know, and the journey the latecomer has to make to wrapping their head around such a huge shift in the way they think about their best friend. I don't think Theory of Love is a perfect show, but it absolutely gets the pain of this trope right in a way few dramas ever have, and it takes that pain to the max, allowing Khai and Third to hurt each other but also work through it and come out the other side stronger. It is one of my all time-favorite BLs.

Long Term Pining

Y'all love this one! And I appreciate it, because it's what the romance genre does best. I have already shouted out a couple fantastic one-sided piners in Lan Wangji and Noh Shinwoo, but I would like to take this chance to highlight a rarer form of the trope: mutual long term pining! This version can only happen when the characters have deeply misunderstood each other, so trust Japan to come through on this one and deliver a fantastic example in Tokyo in April Is... Ren and Kazuma have been on the same page about each other since they were 15, but due to a very unfortunate series of events around their first sexual encounter, both believe the other doesn't feel the same. But that doesn't stop them from pining for each other across their long separation and all through their initial FWB relationship. Seeing them finally communicate effectively and figure out what they meant to each other was so rewarding.

Send me a number and I’ll post the best and/or my fave show that uses that trope

[shoyoist]

I’VE BEEN SUMMONED DID I HEAR KARASU?? pls he’s so precious to me 🥺🫶 he’s such a little shit i feel it in my bones. (my fave trope with him is def academic rivals to *wink wonk* more but regardless) you totally have one of those relationships where you just playfully roast each other and purely communicate in jabs. you’d think he actually hates you, but if anyone else talks shit about you he’s quick to brutally cut them down bc “‘m the only one who gets to badmouth you, kay, my sweet little nemesis?” he’d TOTALLY call you shit like that to piss you off i wanna kick him with my mouth. “my precious headache. my loveliest irritation. my most beloved torment.” it’s never your name, only my, my, my and whatever he decided to annoy you with that day. and you’re confused, because you know him in a very specific context due to the nature of your whatever-ship, but you don’t actually know him because you’ve never once had a serious conversation with him ever. and you think it’s time you change that. “if you’re free this weekend, let’s get milkshakes. my treat.” and karasu already has that permanent smirk curving on his mouth. “what’s this, my prettiest groupie? that desperate for company?” “if you keep being an ass i’ll invite someone else on a date.” and for the first time, you’re able to knock that smirk right off his face and render him into a wide-eyed, flustered mess. because he’s like oh. oh. a date. you’re actually serious. and he’s liked you for so long he doesn’t know what to do with himself, or his arms, but he knows he’s blushing profusely and you look all smug, but for once he’ll let it pass because he’s been horrendously and painfully flirting with you for the past year and holy shit you just asked him on a date. he’s a dork underneath all that sass and brains i KNOW HE IS

DIZZY DIZZY DIZZY <3333 guhh you do not know how much i enjoy academic rivals to lovers i eat that shit up so hardd and god with karasu it's even better. when he started calling you things like "my sweetest inconvenience" it started off as a joke. he enjoyed the way your brows knitted together at the sound of his voice, the irritated twist of your lip and he loves when you quip back.

but as it carries on, he realizes that while he's been teasing you through the my, my, my game, he's started to truly desire you for himself. he wants to call you his. you're mine. he wants it. wants it more than anything. imagine a rivals to fwbs plot where after he's realized his feelings, you get heart broken by the person you love, and he makes himself available to you as a vice, to vent out your frustrations on and to help you feel good.

he can handle it, he thinks. he's smart, has control over himself. he'll be fine.

but as he cups your face in his palm, grazing your cheek with his thumb, looking into your tear-filled. discontented eyes as he says, "'m sorry 's how it turned out for ya, my sweet." he stuns himself with the fact that he didnt add any more to it. my sweet.

my sweet what? everything, he thinks later, after you're gone and he's all alone in his bed again. arms crossed behind his head, the sheets bunched up around him smelling of you. you're my sweet everything.

and he wishes so badly for you to feel the same about him. maybe he cant handle it, after all.

2, 8 & 37 for the meme for fic writers

2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

AOUGHH idk!! i feel like i can’t think of tropes off the top of my head for some reason?? fwb to lovers might be a fun challenge :3 on a completely unrelated note i need to reread sleeping with the opposition

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

AOUGHH okay so like. all the snippets i wanted to use for this are from something's in your eyes BUT i don't want to spoil that fic SOOOO have this excerpt from my moulin rouge post-canon satine lives fic :3

“If there were reason to worry, I would tell you,” Satine said. A tone slithered into Christian’s voice. A twinge of bitterness, not rare from him, but seldom directed towards her. He looked down to his own hands, where the wood’s edge dully bit into the flesh of his palm, his fingers curled around the backrest’s frame. “Months, we were together, and you made every effort to hide how sick you were from me.” “From everyone,” Satine corrected. “It was no more hidden from you than it was from anyone else.” She would’ve recoiled, were Christian’s reaction born from anything other than fear. But she knew better. Christian hung his head and sighed. “How can I trust that you won’t hide it again?”

37. Talk about your current wips.

YIPPIEEEEE okay SO i technically have somewhere between 10-30 wips rn so i’ll just talk about my two faves.

one is THEEEEE graceland wip of all time, something’s in your eyes, and it’s about an op gone wrong that forces the house to Make Connections about mike’s childhood (ft. poly graceland of course. because i have brain worms). it’s been in the editing stage for SOOOOOO freakishly long. it’s my BABY i’m so proud of it and i’ll probably cry the day i post it. there are So many lines in it that i’ll never be able to get out of my head and i’m going to post about it soooooo much once it’s finally posted.

the other wip i wanna talk about is (TENTATIVELY!!!!!!!! POTENTIALLY!!!!!! MAYBE!!!!! POSSIBLY!!!!) titled burning suns, it’s my first moulin rouge fic!!! and it’s just me projecting my problems issues etc onto satine but chronically ill post-canon satine is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO crucial TO MEEEEEEE<3333333 she survives her original fate but not without consequence and that is its own kind of tragedy!!!

(40 questions meme for fic writers!)

[loganlermanstanaccount]

man ifk why but your Rigor Mortis series literally makes me wanna cry /pos (idk why but fwb stuff makes me all emotional n shiz, no offense or anything, I love your writing sm 💜)

I am a big fan of fwb to lovers it's literally one of my fave tropes, and as someone who is super emotionally detached the big confession scenes always make me cry so you're not alone anon <33

[strawberryspence]

steddie fics where it's fwb but with rules so they don't catch feelings (no kissing//etc)?

okay so i don't read A LOT of FWB because it frustrates me (i just want them TO KISS like why wont you just talk??!?!) anyway i still have a few i think.

the one that perfectly fits to this trope is throw me one by Adure but i am guessing you've read it already and is looking for something similar. i dont have anything LIKE this specific thing but here's a few more FWB. :)

Dying of love but it's okay by prufrocks - Steve and Eddie start as FWB and then they get together and then 👀 Honestly one of my faves. Just the right amount of angst.

I’ll Be the Shadow, You’ll Be the Light by jesskier - here's a whole freaking collection. i think there's currently 10 parts on it right now.

Say Something Stupid by murdertrashbabyrat - tiny little FWB fic!! steve falls in love with eddie while they're fwb. 👀

"you be me and i'll be her" (then, it won't count when i kiss your neck and call you mine) by infiniteorangepeel - okay i don't remember anything (probably bcs of my meds, not bcs it wasn't good) so here is the direct note i had on my list "WHAT THE HELL. THAT SMUT??? HOLY COW SHSISSOSK lots of dirty talk, daddy kink, praise kink, fwb, first time."

Sugar, We're Going Down by lichtbringer (percyinpanties) - this one isn't FWB. but they have the whole "he doesn't love me, it was just sex." kind of thing. VERY ANGSTY. (the smut is very good tho, love it.) i come back and reread this every time i remember it which is a lot.

edit: @mira-jadeamethyst suggested someone else's favorite song by fastcardotmp3! it's currently on my list but i havent gotten to it yet. The tags say FWB to lovers!

[loveislarryislove]

I was tagged by @allwaswell16 for this challenge!

Rules: Make a 24-hour poll with the names of your WIPs, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner received.

I'm not sure what counts as WIPs -- I only currently have one that I'm actively working on, and it's for a different fandom. I have another one that I've written words on and intend to write more words on but haven't touched in a month (or two, if you count the one I haven't touched in three years). But I have another three or four with ideas percolating around...

Whatever. I'm listing them all. Go wild, kids.

there is a fic series i would like to work on (with a similiar fwb trope, its one of my FAVES) but i'm a lil unsure in which direction i wanna take it atm. gonna see what fits and what doesnt

[bitchlessdino]

i have a "your mutuals as..." question for you! you don't have to answer but i think this is a cool question (:

your mutuals as tropes?

I put a lot of thought into this. it was very fun but stressful for me lol. If I don't mention you it doesnt mean i dont love you but my brain slips or i think theres more i need to know about you <3

@onlyseokmins :childhood friends to lovers bc elv gives off this sweet wholesome vibe that makes you feel like you've known her forever. i can just imagine you being yearned for and bringing this warm sensation in someone's chest. You know everything about each other. You're just this pure light. Someone's safe space. You give nostalgia and also love.

@honeykyeom :Soulmate au; you ever meet someone that is alike you in so many ways? Someone that you somehow miss repeatedly despite breathing the same air, standing in the same town, in the same place. You're somehow always caught in several of the same frame and never met eyes, until you do. It feel like magic. It feels serendipitous but really it's fate. You were always meant to find each other.

@userwoosan :Enemies to lovers SHDGJKGSDJ you're honest, blunt, and true to yourself. I imagine you meeting someone similar like that and it gets hot and heavy, your hate melts into something more vulnerable and real. its sweet and because you've already shown these angry sides of yourselves you otherwise wouldn't show other people, its forever. you're completely just yourselves.

@seokgyuu :You're a holiday fling. Someone that you meet in a foreign place and instantly fall for them the moment your eyes meet. this instant connection that is so rare and unconventional you grip it for dear life. It's also kind of forbidden because it suppose to be temporary but they just fall deeper and deeper for you. the question is do they leave at the end of the trip or do they stay with you, the person they're now irrevocably in love with.

@himbocoups :fake relationship; not only do i remember you saying this is one of you fave tropes (if I'm wrong call me out) but bc of your natural flirty personality, i imagine many falling for you so to stop it once and for all is a fake partner. But not falling for, lets say cheol, a lot harder than you realize bc he's really good at being a fake BF. now you're wishing the fakeness of this all was real.

@multi-kpop-fanfics : FWB to lovers. Zeta is hot so i imagine you getting with someone just as hot and cool with you and not realize it until over spicy times together. Independence is 1st and foremost one of the biggest thing between you and the thought of a relationship happening didn't make that likely. You knew the sexual chemistry was there but realizing there's emotional chemistry, genuine connection, it's scary. But maybe that's exactly what you were unintentionally looking for.

@heartkyeom : Opposites attract; i think about your bias and how he is so much more timid than you in some ways, and you both think there are things you can't do that the other can do, and vice versa. Some people may think you're complete opposites from another but that's ok because you know there's no one else that understands you better than your partner. Your differences are your strengths and what make you both perfect together.

Trope rating: exes to lovers, fwb to lovers, and coffee shop aus !

exes to lovers

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know

i'm very picky on exes fics tbh, not 100% sure why? cause i love angst but for some reason that one doesn't hit that well for me. breakup pining feels different than pre getting together pining and it doesn't always feel good to read? even when i KNOW the fic is gonna be amazing 😫 so i'd read it if the resolution happens quite quickly but if it takes a long time for them to get back together im like :(

there was a god tier bellarke exes to lovers fic i read that i think about at least once a week tho so sometimes i do love it

fwb to lovers

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know

LOVE LOVE LLOOOOOOOVOEEEEEEEEE god it slaps so hard !!! give me mutual pining, idiots who are in love with each other but become fwb because they think it's the only way to have that person, situations that could be fixed if they just talked-- god i eat that shit up, gobbled without a spoon im eating it with my bare hands

coffee shop aus

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know

one of my faves 🥺😍 absolute slut for them. 1000000/10. good soup! i've written a couple and i loved writing them !! i should write some more but my wip pile is already way too high

send me a trope and i'll rate it

[seiwas-interact]

hello ms sel! i feel lowkey creepy for like frequenting your ask box so much today but i just wanted to ask what your fav au’s are with iwa?? or any of your favs in general!

please feel free to ignore/delete if you don’t want to answer! IM ALSO SO SORRY FOR THE LONG ASKS AKBSJSNSNSSN keeping this one short and sweet i promise :3

hi koi!!! 🥹 you are so adorable omg please don’t feel creepy or sorry!!! (you can also very much ask this to my other accnt omg this is just my main that i use for following, sending asks, & replying to posts 😭)

please feel free to drop by my inbox anytime 🥹

my fave tropes/au’s with iwa / in general oooOOO!!

with iwa i default to a slowburn friends to lovers 🥺 my ongoing series for him is self-indulgent in that way 😭 (literally their entire life from friends to getting together eventually 😭) i think it allows a lot of depth!! & comfortability (which is good for iwa!! bc i don’t see him as the type to open up easily!—being friends w him first would establish a lot of trust 🥹)

college au’s are rlly good too! can overlap with other au’s/tropes as well!! i like exploring how much he changes in college!

am into bodyguard/mafia aus in general too!! and think he suits em so well 😵‍💫 (i feel like i’ve read some before too!)

underground fighter/boxer aus for iwa specifically intrigue me!! (there are only a handful of characters i like this au for!!) (i know there’s a series somewhere with this au for him!)

fwb!!! with iwa!!! my god. it goes against (kinda) my slowburn friends to lovers but it’s insane how much i love love love fwb fics w him 😭 i’m still torn between thinking that he gets it in college and not but like 😭 he’s so hot i wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls a lot 😭 (a part of me just cries thinking abt him being a player 😭 or a fuckboy 😭 bc… it’s hot but also… would he 😭 i don’t want to think abt him playing w feelings or being mean 😭)

roommates is also interesting!! and bsf’s (oikawa) little sister ones too 😭😭

that’s all i can think of rn! idt im very creative w the aus i gravitate to 😭 i just know i avoid love triangles aiankszjb literally if u have me choose between oiks and iwa i will cry (i will choose iwa but i’ll cry) 😭😭

I would like to pretend I'm neutral about age gap but I'm not. I do like age gap in fics a lot, but at the same time, it still needs an additional something to be perfect. On its own, it's good but not a 100 %.

Codependency: +10

Now that's a different story. I'll happily devour any fic with this tag/trope, and then read it agian for good measure. Honestly, I don't even care how well it's written, I just need more of this in my life. For personal reasons.

Obsession/Possessiveness, jealousy: +9, -10

Breaking this up into two because I LOVE possessiveness in fics but jealousy is a big NO THANK YOU for me. I've had enough of that in real life. But fictional possessiveness/obsession is sexy.

Opposites (grumpy/sunshine etc): 0

Very neutral about this.

Enemies to lovers, Enemies with Benefits: +0.5

Very meh for me. It can make for a good story, but it is not something I actively seek out.

Friends with benefits: -1

Usually no. It can be good as an angsty story (unrequited love or misunderstandings), but I don't usually read stories without romance.

Sex to feelings: 0

Meh. And I say this as someone who married my FWB. 😅 Maybe that's why I really don't need more of this trope in my life. 🤣 #oversharingOnTheInternetAgain

Found Family: -10

I'm being controversial here, I know. It's just... a bit too sweet and kinda unrealistic for me.

Hurt/Comfort: +10000000000

OH YES. Give it to me all day. This tag is an automatic click for me.

Love Triangle: nope

Nope, nope, nope. Not my thing at all. Probably because of the jealousy issue. Poly-ships? Yes, please. Love triangle where the character picks one and dumps the other? No.

Poly, open relationships: +5

Not all of them, but I usually like the poly ships in any fandom.

Mistaken/hidden identity: +3

It does lead to good stories. Not much more to say.

Monsterfucking: +10

I'm a proud monsterfucker. :D

Pregnancy: +10

Yessssss. I'm so soft for this. And also horny for all the pregnancy kink tags. While we are at it, Mpreg? BIG YES. IDK why but it calls to me.

Second Chance: +3

I rarely read fix-its but I do like this kind.

Slowburn: -5

Sorry, I'm impatient. XD I especially dislike it if the story is 150k words getting together and it ends with a love confession and a kiss that are all described in 1k words or less. It feels like being pranked.

Soulmates: +10

Oh yes. One of my fave tropes. I like the premise that some people are just made for each other.

Everyone has probably done this or been tagged already but I'll try to tag @aetheltrythh? :D No pressure!

Trope rating game

thanks for the tag @devondespresso

rules: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic? -10 -> very dissuaded  0 -> don’t care either way  +10 -> very enticed  nope -> if it’s a hard no and you’d never click on a fic with that tag or you even have the tag blocked or you’d insta click out of the fic if it wasn’t tagged Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it’s conditional.

putting it under the cut cause it's a bit long. also not tagging anyone but feel free to join if you'd like!!!

Age gap: -10

I don't go with age gaps in human characters. When one of them is a supernatural being, that is already like, expected? but if it's just an AU where one of them is much older than the other, not my kind of thing

Codependency: +8

i like when they're a little fucked up on the head about it :) specially in the ST fandom ngl

Obsession/Possessiveness, jealousy: -5

not my fave, but depends. if it's from an author i know and like i'll give it a chance. sometimes i'm in the mood for it too. but usually not my thing

Opposites (grumpy/sunshine etc): +10

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE me a grumpy/sunshine trope!!!!

Enemies to lovers, Enemies with benefits: +8

yesyesyesyesyes. i prefer if they're not actually enemies, but just two people who don't like each other, or just banter a lot, but actual enemies are also delicious

Friends with benefits: +10

loooooove love love. when one of them has been secretly pining from the beginning? EVEN BETTER

Sex to feelings: +10

see above!!!

Fake dating/relationship: +10

absolutely iconic

Friends to lovers: +6

i like the added layer of fwb situations to like, add a lil bit more of angst. but i do like the direct friends to lovers pipeline too!

Found Family: +10

WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LIKE?!?!?!

Hurt/Comfort: +10

literally delicious.

Love Triangle: -10

i only like it when they end up all dating

Poly, open relationships: +10

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Mistaken/hidden identity: 0

not my fave but not an ick too. i don't go outright searching for it, but don't mind it much when i come across it. it can be unnecessarily angsty if the writer keeps it up for too long tho

Monsterfucking: +10

ABSOLUTELY YES

Pregnancy: nope

yeah hell no. if a fic ends with that without it being tagged, it automatically makes the fic very disapointing to me. if it's tagged, i don't read it at all. this basically only applies to reader inserts cause yeah i don't want to imagine myself pregnant. but i don't dig ABOs for some reason too

Second Chance: 0

don't mind it but i don't go looking for it

Slowburn: +5

it can be really really well done but it can also get very tiring if the author stretches it out for too long. when well done, i love it!

Soulmates: +10

LOOOOOOVE it!!!!!!
