I was curious about the rumored What We Do in the Shadows finale schedule and went over to the FX website to look for myself, and on the schedule it looks like they changed the listings to now read:
The Finale
The Finale.
and
The Finale..
with all of the descriptions now the same, but the episodes still listed as 11, 12, and 13, and all of them tagged as 'New.'
I'm so curious what they're gonna do???
#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#i'm literally obsessed because this show is in a documentary format#and if they really wanted to be creative....#you can literally change the narrative of a documentary just by changing how you edit the raw footage#like is it actually going to be 3 alternate endings#or is it going to be the same series of events from 3 different perspectives/narrative focuses with different info revealed in each one#I think it would be fun if it got a little meta like that at the end#the doc crew breaks up over creative differences on how the show should be presented lol

"Counterpane up over the bulwark of his shoulders, and his duty is done, pray God, he passes out before he finishes his thought, and that is no blasphemy: please God, a genuine entreaty, louder than the sudden whip of thunder which cracks overhead, which he recites inside his mind, over and over, as he undoes the trundle bed and settles underneath his own, lesser bedclothes." —Chapter 34 of Nowe Thus
#this edit is sooo pretty...autumnal <3#fleur keith as jane kinda makes me grrrr (she fits anne better...to me) but! it is the casting#also i didn't realize till i was editing that she's wearing a locket in that shot#which is a nice level of detail for a documentary that didn't really...mention . that#the quote doesn't really match but as it turns out. not that many great; emotional character-driven screencaptures of norris#and i've got them from like. every documentary and series#my favorite recent casting might actually be the BSR one. idk. orrr whall....#handsome but older than hviii is generally how i think of him even tho we have no actual confirmation he was handsome#(just kind of suppositional guesswork that he must've been for hviii's ego to suffer to entertain the accusations#and that weston and smeaton were.#but we do know he was older than hviii which#only seems to be accurately cast in BSR (even tho the hviii actor himself is not Old Enough for that era)#tl; dr let's just say it's the candle shot ahfsdjfs#NTedits#NT updates

i'm screaming at this moment in the brawn gp doc where the brazilian journalists are trying to curse jenson from winning the 2009 brazilian gp by not only setting up one ladder for him to walk under from the restaurant exit but also setting up another ladder for their car to drive under once they're at the hotel parking lot
#lmao like it's one thing to set up one for him at the restaurant but another to get another ladder for the car to go under??? it's so extra#i knew the brazilians took f1 seriously but this is another level lol i love it#plus it's something silly and relatively harmless in terms of what you would do to curse someone#they're talking about how the race itself is going rn on the doc and it doesn't seem like the curse worked lol#jenson button#f1#brawn gp documentary#roscoehamiltons.txt#(sidenote i edited the post to say the moment is from the brawn gp documentary lol)

"We just had to go to the team photo session. How hard could it be?" you asked, watching Ollie run through the paddock waving a Ferrari flag that clearly wasn’t his.
"Depends... before or after Kimi and Yuki hijacked the golf cart?" Max replied in the most neutral voice possible.
Oscar appeared, panting.
"I can’t find them. They have a megaphone and they’re shouting ‘Long live chaos!’"
"Perfect," you said. "We lost them in under ten minutes."
At that moment, Lando rolled by on a skateboard, Charles was behind him on an electric scooter, and Carlos ran past holding a GoPro like he was filming a survival documentary.
"What are they doing?" Max asked.
"Escape Room: Track Edition," said Lando, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Checo and George were sitting in a corner playing chess with pieces made out of Tupperware. Fernando was giving them tactical advice like it was actual warfare.
"I just wanted a nice group photo," you whispered, staring at your empty camera.
"And I just wanted no one to fall in the fountain this time," Max added.
Yuki yelled from afar:
"WE DID IT! THREE DRIVERS IN ONE CART!"
A loud metallic crash followed.
Oscar covered his face. Charles came running.
"Do we have insurance for this?"
"Toto has insurance for everything," Max replied, like that would somehow fix it.
Eventually, you managed to gather everyone in front of the camera. Kimi was holding the flag upside down. Ollie had dirt on his face. Lando was still on the skateboard. But they smiled.
Click.
"Can we go eat now?" Kimi asked.
"Only if no one steals the cutlery this time," you said, eyeing Charles, who whistled innocently.
Max slung an arm over your shoulders.

A significant amount of my opinions about modern queer television are influenced by researching older queer media.
I see a lot of the same vitriol in modern queer fandom discourse that has been playing out in queer spaces since film and television were invented. Shows in the 70s started making steps toward sensitivity consulting in queer media, even as the networks fought them on it. Imperfect but earnest queer representation was met with aggressive protests by homophobes and queer people who thought it wasn't good enough. The argument over good representation vs no representation has been happening for decades and decades.
You spend enough time immersed in old queer media and you really start to vibe with Harvey Fierstein's words in The Celluloid Closet documentary. Or at least, I do.
youtube
Harvey Fierstein: "I liked the sissy. Is it used in negative ways? Yeah, but, my view has always been visibility at any cost."
The way I see it, the way to genuine, loving queer representation that showcases a vast array of experiences is to stop demanding perfection. The fewer queer stories that are allowed to exist, the more of the heavy lifting those stories have to do in the representation department.
When we have numerous queer stories, it's suddenly much less important to argue over whether the queer characters in question are "good" or "positive." They can just be queer characters who exist in the same infinite variety as straight characters. They can be messy, they can be flawed, they can be honest portrayals of the complexity of human existence.
Queer representation will never be perfect, and striving for perfection is how we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Honestly I think they're about on par but that Taylor is more famous due to the fact that people will encounter her music whether they want to or not, but Ronaldo is isolated to Just The Sports World.
(My brother has been having a meltdown because I said that I think Taylor Swift is more famous. I know Tumblr is a very non-sports place but hey whatever.)
EDIT: to be clear, my definition of fame here is 'how many people know them by name?' If given the name and asked the most basic fact of 'what industry is this person famous in,' then would more people be able to answer for Ronaldo or for Swift? It's got nothing to do with positive popularity or 'I don't actually care.' It's purely about name recognition.
For part of why I do think they are comparable, here's the Google Trends since 2004. Ronaldo was more present for most of that time, but at current, he's not. You could argue that search volume is a non-indicator because soccer/football is more popular than Taylor Swift in countries that use a non-Latin alphabet... but also, the Eras Tour documentary broke box office records in China, a country with the second-highest population in the world, where soccer isn't even in the top three sports; Taylor Swift is the second-most listened to non-Chinese solo musician, nearly tying with the most popular solo artist by streaming numbers, and she's third-most popular artist overall (first place is a group). Meanwhile, India is almost definitely more familiar with Ronaldo, even though soccer is only the fifth-most popular sport, because Taylor is really far down their list of popular acts from outside of India (according to numbers from Gaana, their streaming service).
So... who knows? Ronaldo is very known in countries where soccer is important, but there are countries other than the US where it's just not as big of a deal as we think. So maybe Taylor is more of a household name at this point.
They named an economic phenomenon after her, so I feel like that's worth considering.

realized the thing that was making this so difficult was that i was trying to figure out the audio and visual sequencing at the same time, so tonight i decided to just focus on the audio and got through the whole trailer!! some of these quotes will have the visual of when they were said, some will have other clips over them (both of classic buddy stuff and B roll of me following scott around with a camera). there will also be music underscoring it so there will be some pauses where it's just visuals + music, and a few parts where there will just be onscreen text like "a film by jessamine manchester" or something (especially at the end)
btw if you want to "read" the trailer i did it as four columns: top-to-bottom, and then when you get to the bottom of one it immediately goes to the top of the one to the right. apologies for some of these being lowkey illegible (especially the blue cards, which are things i only thought to grab while i was making the timeline so they're handwritten placeholders) but like you're gonna see the finished trailer at some point anyway
one month into the paper edit on the buddy cole documentary trailer and i'm finally fed up enough to just straight-up google whether i know what i'm doing
#once i'm paper-editing the final film i'll probably do audio and visuals at the same time bc in actual films it's more consistent#but from taking notes on six different documentary trailers. most of them treat the audio and visuals as separate things#to maximize the number of clips shown#i'm kind of insecure that this trailer doesn't have as much ''classic buddy'' (from the KITH tv show) in its audio#like the only one i wrote down is the very first buddy monologue bc scott specifically mentioned it#(and so i can juxtapose it with footage of scott performing the same monologue recently)#but also i feel like that's most of what the very first trailer was bc that was all we had then#vs this is showing off what i actually filmed (and with how expensive rights are is probably closer to the balance of the real film)

ANGST ( friendship ended, ego battles, Championship, Ferrari, Red Bull, Dutchman, American Girl, unrequired love, Title battle)
Y/N and Max have been friends since their go-karting days. She was a driver for Alpha Tauri and achieved spectacular results with the team and was hoping to take the second seat at Red Bull, but as other drivers are ahead of her to take that spot, she accepts a million-dollar proposal from Ferrari. Max is bewildered by her decision and breaks up a years-long friendship for a trivial reason, as she is thinking about the good part of her career and at Ferrari she has a chance to fight for titles. She is devastated by Max's reaction and his contempt for her, the Dutchman starts to pretend that the American doesn't exist and ignores her both in the paddock and in Monaco, where they live. Fans, fellow riders and the media are devastated how such a lasting friendship ended in such a heavy climate, the American media blasts Max, while the Dutch media trashes Y/N. Y/N and Max enter into a brutal and fierce dispute for the 2024 championship, more tense than 2021, due to the entire context that involves the two. Max felt betrayed by her leaving Red Bull and by her never realizing that he always liked her, but now she's the one who doesn't want anything to do with him in her life anymore and she's going to do whatever it takes to be world champion. They arrive in Abu Dhabi tied and in the wheel-to-wheel dispute, Y/N becomes world champion, and Max realizes that he made a mistake with the love of his life and is humbled by her forgiveness.
This is the story of us! - Max Verstappen x FerrariDriver! Reader
Plot: In the style of a documentary find out what really happened in the year of 2024 between Max Verstappen and Y/N Y/L/N.



“Audio test in the studio please Y/N” the Documenter asks from behind cameras.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1” you say your face on camera as some continues to fix your hair.
A News Broadcaster pops up from 2023 on Sky Sports News.
“Today the shocking news has come that rather than signing with Red Bull Y/N Y/LN has made a million dollar move to Ferrari”
“Y/L/N to drive in Red for the 2024 season”
“Red Bull decision to not sign Y/L/N leaves them out no options says Adrian Newey”
News articles play in overlay over each other as they get more frequent about your career change 2 years ago.
“Hiya Y/N” the interviewer for the documentary asks.
“Hello” you smile back politely on the footage.
“So this documentary is about the Formula One season of 2024 and … your intense battle for the championship”
“Mmmmm all very interesting no?” You joke before serious music comes on. Showing some shots of you racing, and some of the radios that came from that season.
“This isn’t right! Why isn’t my team working together” your voice come through.
“Y/N it’s time to back off. You can’t win this one”
“I’m never going to give up, it’s me or him in this dust and I don’t care which as this point as long as I know I pushed”
“Y/N are you okay? Y/N?”
“What the fuck was that?”
“Guys this is my last chance let’s put it all in”
“FUCK THIS GUY MAN”
“Yes it was … a heated season for sure” you chuckle.
“So start by telling us about your early life” she asks after a small compilation of early photos of you karting before it’s edited to flick back and forth between your interview and clips of you karting and in the feeder series.
“I started karting from a very young age, around 6 and worked my way up like any other driver. Eventually Red Bull … saw potential in me and decided to sponsor me and make me a part of their Young Drivers Programme. That eventually fed me into a seat in AlphaTauri or what is now Visa CashApp RB” you start, hands clenched together.
“I saw everyone else get a chance at that Red Bull seat before me regardless of my performance. And when they signed Sergio Perez, someone from a different team, that tipped me over the edge” you admit, knowing that it was one of the hardest heartbreaks you experienced.
“And that’s when Ferrari came in?” The interviewer asks.
“That’s when Ferrari came in, they wanted something fresh and new and I’d pretty much grown up with Charles just like I had Max, so there was no concern about us being Team-Mates. It was … despite Ferraris struggles in recent years, my only way forward” you nod your head, before the documentary shows your driving in your AlphaTauri and your incredible win in that car, that should have been the reason Horner wanted to sign you.
“Max … wasn’t happy with this decision” she asks and you nod.
“He wasn’t … i thought if anything was to ruin our friendship it would be an external relationship that didn’t appreciate our bond. Not … because of a job” you laugh thinking of his reaction and how he’d cut you off in all aspects of life.
That year was difficult for you, even though you’d had more people around you than you’d ever had in your life you had never felt more lonely.
Max had pretty much axed you out of his life. He’d blocked you on every social media, every messaging platform and even put your emails into his junk folder. You thought it was a step too far writing to him so, you left it.
You left an eleven year friendship to just go down the drain. You didn’t realise until he was actually gone how much of an impact Max Verstappen had on you and your life. He was there for you for every major thing that happened in your life and this move to Ferrari felt like your next step. But he had no longer wished to be a part of that.
“What did it feel like when you announced going to Ferrari?” Your asked and your paused for a while before you face the interviewer.
“I think everybody dreams of driving for Ferrari, no matter what team your currently with as … it’s the pinnacle of motorsport. But to be the first female to drive for Ferrari is a statement. The day I made the announcement and it went onto the F1 page that my contract was up with RedBull and AlphaTauri for the 2023 season I couldn’t have been happier because it felt like I was finally moving forward and not stuck in the same spot” you answer and she nods.
“And how did that affect your friendships?” She asks and you almost scoff.
“Why didn’t you just say Max” you chuckle before sighing. You never mind talking about it especially now, of course you were upset and heated back then. You normally tending to be after racing if it didn’t go your way anyway, but when it came to Max leaving you there were times you were pretty nonchalant about it because you didn’t know how to react.
It was the later reaction that was more frightening.
“Well, that would spoil that kind of answer, clearly there’s more of an issue here than with any other driver” she asks.
“You’ve done your research, you know exactly what happened”
Media floods in the documentary American News anchors sending hate to Max Verstappen especially when he came to home turf for a race and the Deutch fans butchering you in the Netherlands.
SkySports -
“Max Verstappen is brutal, can’t imagine ever being as petty as he is”
ESPN News -
“And today we have news that Red Bull Driver Max Verstappen has cut all ties with new Ferrari Driver Y/N Y/L/N, for her change of team”
Fan at the Track -
“You know Max is incredibly overrated and childish for what he did to our American pride and joy”
News in the Netherlands
“ze is gewoon een vreselijke chauffeur”
Fan at Zandvoort
“neuk haar”
It pans back to you looking down at your hands before the interviewer speaks up again.
“So before the season started did you and Max have any heated arguments that contributed to the start of the season?” She asks and you shake your head.
“He blocked me on everything, I was with my ex-boyfriend at that point and we were travelling during the winter break so it didn’t bother me too much. I tried to keep myself distracted knowing I had great support around me, a new team to get to know and work with.
But as the 2024 started to get closer and you came back home to Monaco, sensing Max had disappeared from your life finally sunk in. You had many days at home wrapped up in blankets crying, wondering where it all went wrong.
Making you feel lonely in Monaco was one thing, but it only got worse in the paddock when racing resumed for the testy 2024 season.
A video plays of the Bahrain testing in 2024 you on track in a semi fast Ferrari that people cannot tell whether you are sandbagging or not Max breezing past you.
Strangely that was the closest you’d been to Max in months.
“Monaco was different now that you didn’t have your best friend … how did you occupy your time instead?” She asked.
It showed videos of you partying in Monaco with Charles your soon to be team-mate, Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo.
Then it flicked to you and Lando golfing with Max Fewtrell, while vacationing.
It flicked to a very public argument between you and your boyfriend which proceeded to your breakup.
“Well, it was an interesting build up to the season. Let’s just say that” you smirk knowing at the start of 2024 before preseason testing you caused a lot of chaos all to try get your mind off the absence of Max.
“Then we find ourselves at Bahrain 2024… a race I think that will be in the history books as one of the most tense season openings ever” she admits writing something down on the notepad she had that she really didn’t need.
“Yes, it was an interesting race. I think that was the first time I was in equal machinery to Max, at the start of the season we didn’t start off as good as RedBull but Charles and I were giving him a run for his money” you admit knowing Sergio Perez didn’t have the greatest start to the season and now that you were locked into Ferrari, Red Bull were beating themselves up over the loss of you.
“So Max took pole and you were only 0.003 seconds behind him, what a margin! You started P2 both front row” she smiles and you nod.
“Yeah I think that’s the most scared I’ve ever felt in a race car, P2 has been my best qualifying position and I couldn’t let it go to waste. But having Max next to me with everything that was going on was a massive headache” you tell her and there’s a clip of you looking over at Max sat next to you just before the formation lap was about to begin.
“Let’s talk about turn 1 Bahrain …” she asks and you nod.
“I mean, I was racing and I was racing hard. I gave Max plenty of room, I had the inside line and I got past him and led. It was a good overtake and the team didn’t exactly tell me not to go for it” you explain and she nods.
“But after your pit stop stuff got real” she adds and you nod with a roll of your eyes.
“Tell me about it” you laugh.
“AND VERSTAPPEN GOES FOR THE OVERTAKE GOING INTO TURN 5, Y/N DEFENDING BEAUTIFULLY AND HE GOES AGAIN EDGING HER INTO TURN SIX AND OMG HES OFF INTO THE GRAVEL! MAX VERSTAPPEN IS OUT IF THE BAHRAIN GP” it shows the commentary from Crofty when this was all happening showing Max getting out the car and slamming his helmet down.
“WHAT THIS Y/N HAS DAMAGE THERE WAS IN FACT CONTACT AND SHES HAD TO PULL OVER NOT MAKING IT BACK TO THE PITS FOR A NEW TYRE” is shown also you getting out of the car, your escorted back to the pit wall while Safety Car is deployed.
“Yours and Max’s argument that day while the race was still underway and Charles was leading, was intense who actually started it?” She asks.
“Oh Max did 100%. I was just talking to my race engineer and he came over all pissy and yelling in my face. Seeing him so red and angry was funny though” you admit.
“I think that’s the first time people had seen seriously Mad Max since the Ocon incident”
“I guess I just bring that side out of him” you admit with a nod.
“What the fuck was that” Max came over to you, you took a step back hoping to defuse the situation knowing their was cameras around and you didn’t really want to bring attention to either of you.
“Look Max we were both racing hard. It happens, you went into me, we both ended up out the race … it happens” you explain and the camera men all get closer.
“You went into me! Are you having a laugh!” He says until he starts ranting in Dutch and his PR manager and a Marshall take him away from you.
“Bahrain was incredibly dramatic for a race. The champion of last year was sat at the bottom of the leader board and Charles, Lando and George were looking at the top spots. How did the make you feel?” She asks and you nod.
“Obviously it’s concerning. Coming back isn’t easy after a feat like that, so we knew we’d have to come back in Saudi and make it better than it was. It’s also hard to come back from something like that mentally? Yano. So Saudi was hard especially all the media around me” you explains and it cuts to clips of all kinds of media swarming around you asking you stuff about Max and your race in Bahrain.
“In Saudi you and Max raced hard but eventually it ended up with Max in P1 and you in P2 and Lando P3… that podium was tense” she explains and a video of the podium came up, showing Max celebrating with everyone but you. You ending up leaving him and Lando and leant over the fence of the podium to spray your team down below.
“Lando and Max are close, but you and Lando are aswell so how did it feel having no celebration up there with you?” She asked.
“Lando is actually the sweetest person I’ve ever met. He cares about everybody and everything and he worries when he thinks he’s upset someone. He messaged me after that podium, apologising for leaving me out of the celebration and he didn’t even realise he had as he was so caught up in Max spraying him he thought it was both of us. I obviously replied saying I wasn’t upset and that it was okay. I had my team and that’s all I really needed at the end of the day” you nod knowing it WAS a hard podium to be up on but you made the best of a bad situation.
“The comes Australia, and this is your first time to regain the points lost in Bahrain. So what did you do?”
“Man … the first time I won was so nice … that I just had to do it twice” you quote Anthony Joshua with a little laugh. Before it shows you’re victory.
“AND FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HER FORMULA ONE CAREER THE AMERICAN TAKES HOME THE CHEQUERED FLAG TAKING VICTORY IN AUSTRALIA, TEAMMATE CHARLES LECLERC BEHIND HER IN P2 WITH LANDO NORRIS CLOSING UP THE PODIUM” Ted commentates.
“It was an incredible feeling, knowing I was now making my way back up the ranks and was in P3 in the championship, Max was behind me and I felt like I was back in the game. To DNF’s for him was almost laughable.
“The points were very amusing come China, you were leading the championship and Ferrari were at the top for the constructors championship. And Max, Lando and Charles were all on 76 points and you were on 78… how tight!?” She adds.
“Yes, it was crazy how varied this season was with wins, especially with how RedBull were insanely dominant the year before and RedBull took all wins bar Singapore. At this point I wasn’t just fighting Max in he championship there was word at Ferrari that team orders were going to come into play to help Charles win but when we were both so close in points it was easier to just let us race” you explain happily, knowing that it was a fun season to be a part of.
“But after China was a sort of turning point for Max correct?” She asks and you nod again.
“It was for both of us. After China it was a constant change between me and Max of who was going to win, Lando and Charles remained close, but not enough to win.” You explain but her look tells you you didn’t give her the answer she was after.
“I meant about Max trying to rekindle that friendship you both once had” she asks and you scoff.
“Mmmmm you’ll have to ask him about that… at the time I could only assume he wanted to be my friend to distract me from what was important … winning” you answer.
“Hello Max” the interviewer says as their special guest for the documentary comes in. He takes a seat, a stoic nod as he does.
“So, Y/N didn’t seem to be able to tell us what happened after the Chinese Grand Prix, it seems from sources that you unblocked her on everything and attempted contact?” She asks and Max nods.
“I- I did. After seeing her wins, and her face once she realised it was a full fight this year and how excited that made her I knew I was in the wrong for ever letting our bond go. I don’t think she even cared about the championship that year, just being in a team that was letting her drive a good car, with a good team and actually help her improve. I was in the wrong but at this point … she was only focused on racing” he sings and a compilation of videos of the pair of you arguing on track came up.
“It was just affecting you guys either was it?”
“No, it was hard especially for Lando, Daniel and Charles, we’re all so close and Lando and Y/n are like siblings so when it came to the both of us not talking it was difficult for them. Y/N being … well Y/N didn’t want to make it a big deal and started hanging out more with her other friends like Yuki, Logan, Zhou, George and Alex but it still meant it was … awkward to say the least” he admits.
“Yeah, that sounds rough, do you ever regret it?” She asks and he nods.
“For a long long time, I didn’t think that I would be able to reconcile our friendship like Nico and Lewis did” he admits.
“But you think that now?” She asks and he smiles.
“I know so” he smirks
It was the end of the season, you and Max were tied in points so for fans it was like Abu Dhabi 2021 all over again. Max was starting P1 and you were starting P2, you’d overtaken him down the straight having better straight line speed than his car did. You were practically flying round the track, Max chugging along behind you eventually setting the fastest lap, and you just knew the cheer from the crowd would have been phenomenal if you could hear it.
After great strategy from Ferrari you ended up winning that race, along with the Championship. Getting out the car was a feeling like no other, you bend down by the wheel of your car, tears streaming out your eyes and dripping on the still closed visor as your knees give out from a tricky and hot race as you sob.
You run over to the Ferrari team, them all pulling you into hugs along with Charles and his girlfriend who looks so excited to celebrated with you.
“OMG” you cried into Fred’s arms. What surprised you the mot was a tap on your back and a blue race suit. You were silent looking at Max.
“Congratulations” he says and tears are still in your eyes. You just nod at him politely.
“Please Y/N I’m so sorry, I - you deserve the seat and the championship. You’ve done so well this year and I’m so proud of you” he smiles and more tears flood your eyes. All you’d wanted to hear was those words.
“Do you ever think you could forgive me, because I love you Y/N and I cannot loose you” he says tears brimming his own eyes.
“I forgave you a long time ago Max, this was all really stupid” you smile at him. Before your team I pulling you away to get you to the podium.
“After the podium, come meet me at the bay, 3rd yacht along… okay I have to tell you something” he shouts after you and you nod grinning.
“What happened on that boat Max?” The interviewer asks.
“That’s for me to know and no-one to ever find out …” he smirks before laughing and giving you as kiss on the cheek as you come back into the room.
“Y/N?”
“Mmmmm I’m with Max, but let’s just say … we rekindled” you laugh and the cameras cut out the documentary ended.
“So you guys are obviously together … what changed?” She asks off camera curiosity getting the best of her.
“We worked out that we had feeling for each other for a very very long time before the fight!” You answer and well, that was that.

after all of this love island talk we need a blurb about joe getting wifey invested into it (yes, him getting her invested into it cuz i know that hoe secretly watches love island. also taylor should have gone home sorry not sorry)
author's note⠀⁎⠀taylor needed to go home and i'll stand on that. no sympathy for charlie, but based on the info that the islanders know, it should've been taylor smh
read more⠀⁎⠀joe burrow masterlist / series masterlist.

Reality TV had been her thing. She loved the messy, the dramatic, and the unexpected. Joe, on the other hand, was more of a sports and sci-fi guy, begrudgingly indulging her housewives and bachelors in exchange for his space films and nature documentaries. The offseason always presented a lull when his teams weren't playing, so he'd reluctantly sit through an episode or two of her favorite shows, his body warm under the weight of their large throw blanket and her head on his chest. He'd pay more attention to her reactions, their bowl of pretzels, and his delivery of slow, soft kisses to the crown of her head than to the actual plot unfolding on their wide-screen TV mounted on the wall.
This season of Love Island USA, however, had captured his interest. Maybe it was the palm trees and ridiculous shenanigans of the fame-hungry islanders. Or perhaps it was the sheer absurdity of grown adults playing raunchy games to find 'love' in a villa with camera rolling 24/7 from all directions. Either way, he found himself leaning into the drama, his eyes following the screen with more interest than he was comfortable allowing anyone else but his girlfriend of four years to witness.
“You make zero sense,” she scoffed, her eyes trained on the screen, watching the scrub bar rewind under Joe’s control. The black remote in his hand had become a tool of power in their debates, allowing him to replay moments that he had become much too invested in deciphering. “Nic might be interested in Iris, but Olandria is a stretch. We’ve never seen them interact outside of challenges.”
“I swear it’s the editing. You can’t just dismiss it because you don’t see them together as much.” He clicked pause on the remote, freezing on a frame of Nic looking at Olandria. “Look at his face. He has no reason to be staring at her like that.”
Her face reflected just how deeply she was unconvinced by the frame Joe had frozen. She rolled her eyes and reached for a pretzel. “You’re reaching, babe. Reaching hard.” She crunched the pretzel, the sound echoing in the room, before continuing, “If he was interested in her, don’t you think they’d show more than just glances?”
Joe leaned back, his arms folding over his chest in a rare display of defensiveness. “You just don’t get it. It’s gonna be a slow burn, for sure. But it’s there. Trust me.” He reached for a pretzel, mirroring her earlier movement.
“Alright, Mr. TV Romance Expert. What’s your most concrete piece of evidence?” she smiled, popping another pretzel into her mouth.
Joe sat up a little, the challenge in her tone lighting a spark in his eyes. “Remember when Nic asked Olandria how she would feel if he was the one to kiss Iris outside of a challenge?”
She nodded, the crunch of pretzels pausing momentarily.
“I do remember that,” she conceded.
“Exactly. Why would Nic ask Olandria how she would feel about him kissing someone else, when he’s in a couple with Cierra? Unless he’s testing the waters, seeing if Olandria is into him, too.” Joe’s voice grew more confident as he spoke, gesturing as if punctuating his points.
She took a sip of her wine, considering his words. “Or he could’ve been testing to see if her position on Hannah not doing anything wrong by kissing Pepe would hold up if it was a guy stepping out on his couple. He was trying to be subversive, playing devil’s advocate.”
She leaned back into his body, her head resting against his shoulder. Subconsciously, Joe’s arms wrapped around her, his fingers playing with the ends of her hair. Her eyes fluttered shut, feeling him kiss her temple gently.
“You think these Love Island guys are trying to be subversive? Half of them couldn’t spell subversive, let alone understand it.” Joe laughed, his voice low and warm as it rumbled against her ear.
“Maybe not, but Nic’s an RN. He’s not as dumb as he might play,” she responded. “Besides, they’re bored as fuck in there. They have to find things to talk about to keep themselves entertained.”
“Maybe. But when shit pops off between them, you’re gonna have to admit that I was right,” Joe said with a smug smile, his thumb now stroking her arm.
She laughed, the sound low and sweet. “You’re cute when you’re delusional.” She turned her head to kiss the corner of his mouth. “But if you’re right, I’ll admit it. Maybe even throw in a little something extra for you.”
“Something extra? Like what?” Joe teased, his eyes flickering with curiosity.
She looked away. “You have to be right to find out.”

hi sweets! I was wondering if you’d be interested in writing something about watching weak hero with actor!boyfriend jihoon. maybe about you tearing up or crying bc of how sad jihoon’s acting as sieun made you feel and jihoon’s reaction 🥹🥹 orrr perhaps watching weak hero with junyoung (seongje’s actor) and acting scared of him/sulking bc of how good his acting as seongje was!! entirely up to you of course no pressure :)
A/N: Sorry for all my lies💔 I will do junyoung version too🙏🏾
Title: Not supposed to cry
Pairings: Actor! Park Jihoon x Actress/Actor! GN! Reader
Warnings: crying, mentions of blood



You didn’t think it would hit this hard.
You’d seen the memes, the edits, the Twitter breakdowns. Everyone had said Jihoon’s performance in Weak Hero was gut-wrenching, Oscar-worthy, life-ruining. And you’d believed them—he was your boyfriend after all. You’d always known how much depth he carried behind that cute demeanor.
But actually watching it? It was something else entirely.
You sat curled under the blanket beside him on the couch, the laptop propped on your thighs. Jihoon had begged you to watch it with him—even though you’d delayed it for months because "I don't want to see you bruised and bleeding and emotionally traumatized, thanks.”
But tonight, he’d finally worn you down.
And now here you were, trembling like a leaf in a storm, hands pressed against your mouth as Yeon Si-eun lay crumpled and bloodied on the floor, struggling to breathe, eyes flickering with rage and helplessness.
Your throat burned.
Jihoon peeked over your shoulder, eating popcorn like this wasn’t devastating.
You sniffled once. Then again.
He glanced at you, his face smug. “Are you… are you crying?”
You didn’t answer.
You couldn’t.
Because now the scene had shifted, and Si-eun was trying to fight alone again. Taking punches with a blank face. Eyes glazed. His voice trembling when he spoke. It hurt your heart. Even if it was a character, you imagine it as your boyfriend.
You hated this. You hated it.
You curled tighter into yourself, and the first hot tear slipped down your cheek.
Jihoon paused the episode.
Your chest hiccupped. “Why did you do that?! I was watching.”
He turned toward you, looking scandalized. “You’re seriously crying over me?”
“I’m not crying over you, I’m crying over Si-eun!” you burst out, wiping at your face. “Oh my God, I hate this show. Who let you act like that?! Why are you like this?!”
Jihoon gave a long, dramatic sigh and flopped backwards into the couch cushions, head tilted back like a prince. “Wow… dating someone so good at acting really does things to a man’s ego.”
“I’m not acting!”
“Oh no, of course not,” he said, grabbing a tissue and daintily dabbing your cheeks with it like you were a Victorian maiden fainting in grief. “This is pure, raw emotion. I’m so flattered.”
You slapped his arm half-heartedly. “Shut up. I’m mad at you. You didn’t tell me it was this bad.”
He chuckled, the teasing slowly melting from his expression. “Hey. I warned you. I said it wasn’t easy to watch.”
“I thought you meant like intense action, not emotional trauma with a banger soundtrack!”
Jihoon smiled softly, brushing a tear away with his thumb. “You really got all worked up over Si-eun.”
Your lip wobbled. “He just… he reminds me of you. How you used to be before you got into acting. Always quiet. Always thinking more than you said. Always trying to fix things alone.”
Jihoon’s fingers stilled.
He didn’t say anything for a second, and you almost regretted saying it.
Then he exhaled slowly, pressing his forehead to yours. “You were the first person I didn’t want to push away. Even when I was still learning how to let people in.”
Your eyes welled up again, and you shoved your face into his chest. “Why are you making me cry again?! This is so mean!”
He laughed, wrapping his arms around you and tugging the blanket tighter. “Okay, okay. No more trauma. Let’s just watch a dumb rom-com. Or one of those weird animal documentaries you love.”
“I do love the weird animal documentaries.”
“I know. You cry when the penguins lose their babies.”
“You said you wouldn’t bring that up again!”
Jihoon kissed the top of your head. “You crying over my acting is the highest compliment I’ve ever received, by the way.”
You mumbled something incoherent into his hoodie.
“What was that?”
“I said,” you looked up at him with narrowed eyes, “you still suck for not warning me how wrecked I’d be.”
Jihoon smirked. “If I’d warned you, you wouldn’t have watched it. And then I wouldn’t get to see you sobbing over my brilliance.”
“You’re impossible.”
“And you’re in love with me.”
You grumbled something about fragile egos and went back to snuggling into his side. He kissed your temple again, this time without a joke behind it.
The next episode started playing. You were already tearing up again.
Jihoon just pulled you closer



A/N: That is all. its short I know💔💔

Six Months
An attempt at some parenthood angst?
Similarly to the title, this fic has been in my WIP folder for a minute; it went through a handful of edits. I'd like to think this is good enough for y'all.
The Bear MasterList
Directory
Carmy sat in the office staring at the paperwork Sugar needed his signature on; when he saw the date on his phone, it hit him—today marked six months. Six months of parenthood and six months of celibacy, to say Carmy was sexually frustrated, was an understatement. “Hey Carm, did you- are you okay?” Sugar asked when she caught him staring blankly at his phone. He didn’t respond until she put her hand on his shoulder. Her touch snapped him out of his trance. He looked at her before quickly apologizing, “Sorry, what were you sayin'?” Sugar grinned as she patted his shoulder, “You okay, Bear?”
Carmy nodded and straightened up in his desk chair, “Yea- just thinkin’ bout the baby.”
Carmy got home from work late. He quietly slipped his jacket off, and hung it on the coat rack before removing his shoes. Walking down the hallway, he slipped into the nursery, knowing the baby would be asleep. He found it impossible not to be happy in her room. The walls were decorated with vintage floral wallpaper you’d bought off Etsy, it may have been a pain in the ass to put up, but Carmy happily obliged when he saw how happy it had made you. He crept to his baby girl’s crib and felt the day's stress disappear. She was peacefully sleeping in a light pink sleep sack, furiously sucking away on her pacifier. “Sweet dreams, princess,” he whispered. “I love you.”
The joy of watching his daughter sleep faded away as he approached the askew door to the master bedroom the two of you shared. “I’m home, baby.” Carmy grinned as he walked toward the open closet door, “Hi, Carm.” you called from the bathroom. When he entered the bathroom, you were brushing your teeth. As the mix of salvia and toothpaste residue dripped from your mouth Carmy’s breath hitched- was this enough to get him goin’? He shook his head as he pulled his shirt off and threw it in the laundry hamper before turning on the shower.
“How was work, babe?” you asked before bringing a small cup of mouthwash to your lips. Carmy watched as you swished it around your mouth and spit it into the sink. “Carmy?” you asked again; he swallowed. “Yeah, uh, it was good. Busy,” he answered as you hopped up on the counter. You were desperate for adult interaction after being home with the baby all day.
“Mia, have a good day?” Carmy questioned. You nodded, “We did some laundry, then had mashed pears for lunch- she did. I had that leftover pasta sauce you made... Read a couple books and went on a walk... Then did her bedtime routine, and I worked on that stupid documentary I was telling you about.”
As you recounted your day, Carmy nodded, but he was staring at your chest, barely hearing what you said. You’d been wearing one of his old T-shirts. He noticed how prominent your nipples were under the soft, worn-in material. He was captivated by the fullness of your breasts, and he’d do just about anything to touch them again. “Carm, you okay?” you asked, hopping down from the counter; he nodded. “Wanna get in with me?” he asked cocking his head in the direction of the running shower. You giggled, “Maybe next time, bear.”
“Oh fuck-” Carmy grunted as he worked his hand up and down his length. He felt like a teenager again, masturbating in the shower before going to school. However, now, instead of imagining the unrealistic scenarios he’d see in pornos, he had memories of you. Carmy thought back to the last time you’d really touched him. Heavily pregnant, hormonal, begging for his tongue and his cock… he’d expected a shift in your sex life as the two of you adjusted to parenthood, but this long of a dry spell was the last thing he’d expected. Carmy squeezed his eyes closed as he came down the drain.
~
“Good morning, princess.” Carmy cooed as Mia squirmed in her crib, trying to get out of her sleep sack. She spat her pacifier out and let out a gruggle. “So it’s one of those mornings?” he chuckled as he unzipped her. He watched her stretch before carefully picking her up, “See, you’re okay.” he rocked her gently before exiting the nursery and heading downstairs.
You were making coffee and prepping a bottle for Mia as he entered the kitchen. “You’re off today, right?” Carmy nodded in response before handing you Mia. “You goin’ to work?” he questioned, as he got two mugs from the cabinet. You groaned in response, “Jenny called off, so I have to go in. I’ll be back before bedtime.”
“Well, looks like Mia and I are havin' some Daddy-Daughter time,” you smiled as Carmy gently kissed her head before going to get the milk from the fridge. When you’d met Carmy all those years ago at some trendy Chicago bar, you found him incredibly alluring. His disheveled curls, the mix of some musky cologne and cigarette smoke, the way his T-shirt wrapped around his muscular arms… he’d always been… sexy. But watching him interact with Mia was a different kind of attractive.
Carmy drummed his thumbs on the handlebar of the grocery cart. He scanned the shelf before him as Mia happily made her baby noises as she looked around the aisle. “Okay, princess… they don’t have almond extract. What kind of grocery store doesn’t have fuckin’ almond extract.” Mia put her hands out to Carmy, grabbing at the air. Carmy chuckled and ducked to kiss her cheek.
“Oh my gosh, she’s too precious.” a sickly, sweet feminine voice cooed from behind Carmy. He grinned when he turned his attention to her, “How old is she?” she asked. Carmy got a good look at the woman; she was pretty, but she wasn’t you. “Oh, uh, she’s six months,” he answered as the woman stepped closer. She smelled like cheap vanilla and a mix of flowery scents Carmy couldn’t place. Mia glared at the woman, and Carmy scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. “I’m Selena. I’m in this parenting group. You should stop by.” she smiled as she looked him up and down. The attention made Carmy regret not regularly wearing his wedding ring. “I’m not really the par-” Carmy started to say before Selena cut him off. “I’m not takin’ no as an answer. What’s your number?” she handed him her phone.
Carmy didn’t know why he gave her his number- could he blame it on feeling uncomfortable? Was that even the right thing to do? It’s not like he’d ever do anything with this woman. He’d never throw away his marriage to you by hooking up with some woman he met at the grocery store. The reality of Carmy's actions didn’t hit him until he was in the checkout line. He gave his phone number to another woman- was that cheating on you? Did doing that in front of his daughter make him a bad father? “Okay, your total is $63.82.” the cashier smiled. Carmy nodded and swiped his card. He needed to get out of there as quickly as possible so he wouldn’t run into Selena again.
~
It had been a couple of weeks since Carmy’s interaction at the grocery store. He’d noticed Selena’s text messages here and there. They seemed innocent until one Friday night, he was working late, you were home with the baby, and Selena had sent Carmy an explicit picture, hoping it would get his attention.
We’re both parents.
I’m not looking for anything serious, Carmy…
My son is at his Dad’s place
Come over <3
Carmy stared at the messages before his eyes went up to the attached photo. Selena had the hem of her T-shirt between her teeth, showing off her toned stomach. He swallowed as he admired the contrast between her skin and the brightly colored fabric of her lacy underwear. He should block her. He should just delete the messages and block her number. He had a wife and baby at home—he couldn’t make this kind of mistake. He locked his phone and shoved it in his pocket before returning to the kitchen cleanup, “Hey Carm, I can finish this up. Go home.” Sweeps grinned as he attempted to connect his phone to the Bluetooth speaker on the counter. Carmy grinned, “You sure, man?” Sweeps nodded assuringly. “I think I can handle this boss man.”
You heard Carmy walk into the bedroom that night, “Hey babe!” you called as you put your blowdryer in its designated spot by the sink. As the bathroom door swung open, Carmy’s lips were on yours. The initial shock wore off as Carmy’s tongue invaded your mouth, and his hands pushed under the hem of your sleep shorts to grasp at your ass cheeks. Carmy pulled you closer to him, forcing you onto your tip toes. You wrapped your arms around his neck, fingers delicately tangling in the roots of his hair. The passionate kiss ended when Carmy started to kiss down your jaw. A giggle escaped your mouth as his lips brushed against your earlobe before he nipped at your neck. “Carm-m what got into you?” you croaked as you adjusted your hips against his.
“I need you, baby,” he muttered, lifting you off the floor. You squealed as he crashed down onto your mattress. He hovered above your body, staring into your eyes. “I need to be inside you, baby.” he swallowed hard as you bit your lip. “Carmyyy,” you giggled as you watched him pull his t-shirt off. You ran a finger down his chest, making him moan softly.
“Let me make you feel good, baby…” Carmy whispered in your ear as one of his hands found its way into your oversized sleep shirt. Your breath hitched when you felt his calloused fingertips graze your ribs. " I-I—" you studdered nervously. “Baby…please.” Carmy quietly asked as his lips brushed against yours. “No.” you whispered as you grabbed his wrist through your shirt, “What?” Carmy questioned as he stood up abruptly, “Did I do something? We haven’t done anything in like six months- clearly I did something wrong. Just tell me so I can fix it!” Carmy raised his voice as his eyebrows knit together in frustration.
You propped yourself on your elbows and watched as he picked up his shirt from the floor, “Carmen, please don’t yell at me.” you said calmly. You watched as he rolled his eyes and paced before you, “Baby. I want to have sex with you. I need to have sex with you-” Carmy groaned as he pushed his hands over his face into his hair. Your eyes narrowed, “Carmen. I had a baby-”
“I KNOW! I fucking know! You had my baby, but now you don’t even want to fuckin’ shower with me! I get it- pregnancy was hard, and then giving birth was hard, and now being a mom is hard.” Carmy started staring at the ceiling while he expressed himself. He took a breath and turned to look at you; regret washed over him when he noticed you were on the verge of tears. “Baby, please don’t cry…” he pleaded as he knelt by the bed. He reached for your hand, but you pulled away before he could grab it, “Sorry, I don’t want to fuck you after taking care of your baby all day.” you spat. Carmy closed his eyes and took another breath trying to compose himself before saying something dumb, “How dare I fail to meet my wifely duties.” you angrily laughed as you stood up.
You crossed your arms over your chest and stared as Carmy got up. “Baby, I didn’t—" you cut Carmy off with a groan. “Shut up, Carmen. You don’t get to speak to me like that.”
Carmy sighed and stepped closer to you, as he reached out for your hips only for you to slap his hands away. “Don’t touch me.” you glared at him, “Fuck this.” Carmy muttered under his breath as he pulled his shirt back on over his head. “What do you mean ‘fuck this’?” you questioned as Carmy exited the bedroom, “I need air.” Carmy called back to you.
You moved to your bedroom window to see Carmy walking toward his car in the driveway. He got in and pulled his phone out of his jacket pocket.
Send me your address.

eyes on me (1)

summary: the beginning of your story with bigbang as a producer for the MADE documentary. but timing is everything in life. and it can split a person in two.
a/n: this will be a jiyong x reader x daesung series <3
The room was stifling.
You sat rigid, fingers clenched around your pen, silently willing yourself not to meet the eyes that had been burning into you for the last hour.
Unrelenting.
Dark.
Distrustful.
He hated you.
And he barely even knew your name.
Yang Hyunsuk continued talking, your boss nodding along beside you as you took notes diligently, pretending not to notice the weight of that gaze.
GDragon - Kwon Jiyong - made sharp, pointed comments between long stretches of silence. Each one caused your grip on the pen to falter.
“This is bullshit.”
“I refuse to cooperate.”
“I’d sooner jump off stage than film this documentary.”
This meeting was supposed to be exciting.
Your first real assignment beyond editing drafts or scrolling through fashion blogs - a role as a producer for Big Bang’s MADE tour documentary. But the band’s reactions were… mixed.
Understandable, of course.
They were intensely private.
And you?
You were the outsider, the threat. The girl with the pen and the camera and too many questions.
Especially to him.
Jiyong.
He didn’t trust you.
“I can assure you all that y/n is very good at her job,” your boss said, attempting to smooth things over. “She’ll ask questions only if you feel comfortable answering.”
“I won’t be answering anything,” Jiyong said flatly.
Hyunsuk sighed, clearly tired of this.
But then Daesung leaned forward, folding his hands on the glass table. “I think… this could be exciting.”
You met his kind eyes and gave a small, grateful smile. “A lot of artists look back on their tour footage fondly. We’re simply capturing the memories while they’re happening.”
“And sharing them with the world,” Jiyong muttered, not even looking at you.
You quickly looked down again.
“I’m in,” Youngbae offered with a shrug, glancing around. “I mean, how much harm could it do?”
“A lot,” Seunghyun muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. “But… art is art. This is just another expression of it.”
Eventually, one by one, the others began to agree - mostly reluctantly, but the decision was made. The documentary was happening.
And you could finally breathe again.

You slipped out of the boardroom the moment the papers were signed and made a direct path to the water dispenser. Your hands trembled slightly as you filled the paper cup.
You’re okay. It’s fine. You’ve got this.
"I'm looking forward to it."
You jumped at the voice, nearly spilling your drink. Turning around, you found Daesung standing behind you, hands tucked in his pockets, smiling gently.
“Oh - sorry. I didn’t hear you.”
He tilted his head. “Didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted to say… I think this’ll be a good thing.”
You smiled, nerves easing. “Thank you. I’ve always wanted to travel, so it’s already a dream job.”
He grinned. “Ah, well… tour life isn't always that dreamy. We live off instant noodles, energy drinks and alcohol. Mostly Seunghyun and Jiyong’s fault, honestly.”
You laughed, surprising yourself. “Good to know. I enjoy a glass of wine myself."
“So you'll fit right in.” He chuckled, then hesitated. “You’ll be okay, y/n.”
You met his gaze. “I hope so.”
And just like that, the sharp edges of your day began to soften.
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
It didn’t take long to learn that while the boys were a tight-knit group, each of them were wildly different in energy and temperament. Youngbae was warm and helpful. Seunghyun was mischievous but kind in his own way. Daesung was steady - your soft landing.
And Jiyong?
Jiyong was still a wall you couldn't climb.
He hadn’t said a word to you since that meeting. Hadn’t acknowledged your presence, even when the camera passed over him in rehearsals or during casual crew meals.
But he watched.
You felt it.
And it was only a matter of time before that fire did something more than just burn.
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
Touring with Big Bang was like being stuck inside a fever dream.
The days blurred into long stretches of rehearsal, cramped travel, last-minute tech issues, and night after night of performances that left you breathless - even from behind the camera.
And through all of it, you were alone.
Floating on the edges of the crew, invisible in the shadows, with your headphones on and your clipboard clutched like armour.
You were good at your job. Everyone said so.
But being surrounded by a group as close as BigBang- brothers in every sense of the word - made your isolation feel ten times heavier.
The hardest part?
Jiyong still hadn’t said a word to you.
He’d laugh with Youngbae, joke with Seunghyun, hang off Daesung’s shoulder like the most charming man on earth - but with you, it was silence.
Except his eyes.
He looked at you.
Always.
Sharp glances across the dressing room. Lingering stares during soundcheck. You’d turn a corner and find him already watching.
You couldn’t decide if you wanted to run or ask him why.
But then, during a show in Osaka, something cracked.
You were standing in the wings, eyes following Jiyong as he strutted off-stage after Zutter - sweat-soaked and breathless, his mic swinging from his hand.
He was dazzling.
Magnetic.
You didn’t expect him to look your way.
And you definitely didn’t expect him to collapse.
It was like a string had been cut - his body dropping suddenly, gracelessly, onto the floor.
The crew screamed.
Chaos erupted.
You didn’t think.
You just ran.
Dropping your gear, you were the first at his side, kneeling beside him as he fought to stay conscious.
His skin was blazing hot, clothes soaked through.
Heatstroke.
You’d seen it before.
And you knew it could be life-threatening.
You grabbed a cold bottle of water from the nearest outstretched hand, pressing it to his neck, fanning his face with your hand.
Other frantic hands joined yours, but they focused on tugging at his clothes, unzipping the jacket only to force a new one in its place.
"What are you doing?" you snapped at them but they didn't listen to you, only focused on dressing him for his next song.
The idol gasped for breath, squeezing his eyes shut as his vision blurred.
“Jiyong - hey, just breathe,” you urged, voice soft but firm. “You’re okay. You’re going to be okay.”
He blinked, dazed, unfocused. You could see the fear behind his eyes. The confusion.
“We need a medic - ” His manager was yelling behind you, but Jiyong’s fingers clutched yours suddenly.
Desperate.
Shaky.
Scared.
You didn’t pull away. You squeezed back.
It was the first time he’d touched you.
Minutes passed.
"I need to go back on," he murmured, trying to lift his head from the floor. "I need - " his head hit the ground again, unable to hold himself up.
He was still due to go back on stage for Bae Bae, the opening chords awakening him from his daze.
"You need to rest," you denied but a flurry of hands soon swept him up and somehow, he remained standing. Stumbling under the lights, finishing the song with sheer willpower and muscle memory.
But the moment he was offstage again, he collapsed straight into your arms.
You caught him.
Knees hitting the ground as he sagged against you. You carefully guided him to the ground, your hand became trapped beneath his head but you let it stay there, offering him what comfort you could.
“I’ve got you,” you whispered. “You’re okay. Just breathe.”
He didn’t speak. Didn’t open his eyes. Just gripped your hand like a lifeline.
And for that moment… there was no tense silence between you.
Just two people in the quiet chaos of something real.
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
You hadn't seen him since that night.
A week passed by and the band were finally ready to perform again. And they did. It had been nerve-wracking, watching from the sidelines, your eyes pinned to Jiyong the whole time - wondering if he was ok.
But he had put on a show stopping performance and you breathed out in relief when it was over.
“Hey,” Daesung appeared beside you just as you were packing up camera batteries in the empty dressing room. “Would you maybe, um... did you want to grab some drinks later?”
You blinked, caught off guard. “Really? Me?”
"Daesung!" Seunghyun called from across the room, half-way out of the door. "Are you inviting her out tonight?"
"Yeah but - "
"Perfect. Meet us at the club! We've booked a booth." He was gone again and you turned your eyes back to Daesung whose shoulders slumped forward with a sigh.
"So it's a group outing?"
“Yeah.” He murmured. “I guess it is."
You hesitated, then nodded. “Okay... I'll see you there then."
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
The club was already dark and hazy by the time you arrived.
You found the others crammed into a private lounge area in the back, sharing drinks and laughing together.
You weren’t exactly dressed to impress - light jacket, hair pinned back, your usual practical self - but Daesung smiled when he saw you.
He sat beside you for a while, keeping you company as Seunghyun and Youngbae got into a heated debate over setlists, but the music was so loud that it made casual conversation nearly impossible.
Eventually, Daesung leaned in.
“This isn't really my kind of scene,” he said, with a frown. “I think I’m gonna head back.”
“Oh… okay.” You tried not to sound disappointed.
“Did you - well, are you staying here?"
You blinked, then looked down at the drink in your hand. Was that an invitation to leave with him or was the alcohol making you read into things that weren't there?
“I guess?" You looked back at him, hopeful, waiting for his response.
He cleared his throat and nodded. "Ok. Stay safe, y/n. Don't do anything I wouldn't."
He gave your shoulder a warm squeeze and slipped out, leaving you sandwiched between a couple of backup dancers and your untouched drink.
A wave of disappointment and rejection rolled over you.
You needed air.
You saw the sign for the outdoor smoking area and hurried towards it. But the moment the door shut behind you, the music muffled, you felt a pair of eyes on you.
Jiyong was already out there. Alone.
Leaning against the far railing, cigarette between his fingers, drink in the other. The city lights scattered behind him like a crown, and even from this distance, you felt him watching you.
You froze.
He didn’t move. Just tilted his head slightly, lifting his glass in greeting.
You gave him a quick nod and crossed to the far end of the terrace, dragging in a breath as you leaned against the cool rail. You weren’t trying to bother him.
But then… you weren’t trying to avoid him either.
Minutes passed. You could hear the flick of his lighter, the exhale of smoke. Feel the weight of his gaze.
Then - footsteps.
Slow. Measured.
He stopped beside you, far too close for comfort, and yet you didn’t shift away.
“You don’t smoke,” he murmured, glancing down at your hands.
“Just needed air.”
He hummed low in his throat. “Me too," And then he took a long, pointed drag of his cigarette, looking down at you with an amused smirk.
You laughed lightly, shaking your head. "Very refreshing."
Jiyong nodded, raising a brow. "Ah, you see it's not just about the air out here. The view helps. I'm a very visual person."
His gaze travelled from the city lights back to you.
You didn’t answer.
His cologne was heady, his voice low and lazy with drink, and the heat of his body at your side was… distracting.
"I'm sorry I've been giving you such a hard time," he added after a beat. "I've been under a lot of pressure. And I don't always deal with my feelings very well. Especially if I'm nervous... You make me nervous - if that wasn't clear."
"Oh." You tightened your grip on the rail. "Is that... because of the documentary? Because of the questions?"
"What questions?" he teased. "You haven't asked me any yet."
You gave him a sidewards glance. "Is that such a surprise?"
He shook his head, casting his smile back to the city lights. "Ask me one now. I promise I'll answer."
"Ok..." You tilted your head in thought, wracking your brain for the right thing to say. All of the questions on your list back at the hotel seemed to slip your mind. "Are you having fun tonight?"
Jiyong hadn't been expecting that and laughed loudly, prompting you to smile. His radiance was infectious.
"No," he shook his head still smiling. "I wasn't, but now I think that's changing."
"Oh, it must be the fresh air," you inclined your head towards his burning cigarette with a playful smirk.
"Something like that," he murmured, taking a drag as he held your gaze. “Can I ask you a question now?”
“I'd prefer to remain a mystery,” you said smoothly.
“Shame.”
You met his intense gaze suddenly.
His lips were curved - not into a smile, not quite - and his eyes were hooded, flicking briefly to your mouth before meeting your stare again.
He set his glass down and dropped his cigarette into the remains of gold liquid.
Your breath caught.
Your heart was a drum in your chest, pounding louder than the bass of the club. His watchful gaze held you still - not demanding, but full of that unmistakable pull, the kind that made it hard to think.
You felt his hand skim the edge of your hip, then flatten against your lower back. The contact sent a shock straight through you.
“This is a bad idea,” you breathed.
“Definitely,” he said, before closing the distance.
His mouth caught yours in a kiss that was all fire and frustration, months of tension crashing together in one dizzying, hungry second.
He tasted like rum and smoke and trouble.
One hand tangled into your hair, the other still firm against your back as he drew you in.
You melted into his heated touch before you could stop yourself.
The kiss wasn’t slow or sweet - it was sharp-edged, breathless, the kind that left no room for questions.
Your back hit the railing and he pressed in closer, deepening it, tongue brushing yours as your hands gripped his jacket.
He pulled back just barely, lips grazing yours, breathing heavy. “Tell me to stop.”
You didn’t.
Instead, you kissed him again - harder this time - fingers slipping into his hair, tugging, losing yourself in the heat of it all. The city lights behind your closed eyes blurred into nothing, the bass inside became background noise, and all you could feel was him.
When he finally pulled back for air, you were flushed, dazed, and trembling slightly.
His thumb dragged lightly over your bottom lip, and his eyes locked on yours with something unreadable.
“Come with me,” he said. It wasn’t a question. It didn’t need to be.
You let him take your hand.
The walk back to the hotel was a blur - the quiet hush of empty hallways, the weight of silence thick with anticipation.
His hotel door clicked shut behind you.
And the rest - the way he touched you like he’d been waiting all tour to have you, the soft gasp of your name in the dark, your hands fisted in his dark hair - it all unfolded like a secret you weren’t supposed to discover.
But you did.
You remembered it. Every second.
And so did he.
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
It hadn't stopped there.
You had thought it would be over when you slipped out of Jiyong’s hotel room the morning after.
One night.
A simple mistake.
A mix of exhaustion, too much alcohol, and loneliness wrapped in heat and urgency. That’s all it was.
But then it happened again.
And you stopped counting eventually. Somewhere along the line, it stopped feeling like a mistake.
It wasn't just the sex - though God, that was something.
It was the way he looked at you in the dark, after everything.
Quiet.
Raw.
Human.
Not G-Dragon. Not the legend or the headline.
Just Jiyong.
Maybe it started as a way to blow off steam.
You were constantly chasing light, capturing emotion, stitching together a documentary that didn’t step too far into their privacy but still said something.
Meanwhile, he was burning at both ends - switching between stages and press rooms, trying to keep his head on straight when the weight of his persona grew too heavy.
And yet… when it was just the two of you - hidden behind locked doors and drawn curtains - it was like exhaling after holding your breath for days.
You saw him soften.
You saw him shed.
He became talkative during interviews, more present, more grounded. And you started smiling more too, laughing off the stress, knowing you'd have somewhere - someone - to fall into at the end of the night.
It wasn’t love.
But it was something.
And neither of you wanted to name it just yet.
So it stayed hidden.
Although you soon learned that privacy was rare in the life of an idol.
𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪
It was meant to be a prank.
They’d done it to Jiyong before: wait till he was mid-shower, break into his hotel room with the spare key, film him briefly, and vanish before he could snatch the phone.
Classic chaos. Group tradition.
So that night, while Jiyong was in his suite - supposedly alone - the others crept in, snickering like children, phones already rolling to film his inevitable scream when he saw them.
But when they burst into the bathroom, throwing open the door with a loud “YAH, GDRAGON, NICE ASS - ”
They froze.
So did you.
You and Jiyong were both behind the steamy glass of the shower, pressed up against each other, your hands caught somewhere they shouldn’t be.
For a second, no one moved.
Then you shrieked.
Loudly.
Jiyong’s arm shot out to pull you behind him. “WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Youngbae gasped and dropped his phone, covering his eyes. “Oh my god - ”
“Well that explains everything!” Seunghyun barked, already cackling as Daesung quickly backed out of the room. “I knew you were smiling more lately.”
“Hyung - shut the damn door!” Jiyong shouted.
Youngbae scrambled, eyes covered as he bashed into the door with a thud before blindly feeling for the handle and yanking it closed.
You leaned your forehead against Jiyong’s chest, mortified. “Oh my god.”
He sighed dramatically, rubbing your back. “Well, that’s one way to make it official.”
You smacked his shoulder. “This is so bad - ”
He grinned, brushing wet hair from your face. “Or maybe it's getting good.”
