Akama

Look, I'm a big Dostoevsky fan and when reading "The Idiot" I didn't like Rogozhin one bit. But watching the Japanese adaptation and the new/different version of his character Akama? Suddenly I understood why Nastasya/Taeko was willing to go to him. Look he's a little crazy and also definitely bisexual. Like very bisexual. I think if him, Taeko, and Kameda got together it would be the world's worst trouple but also incredibly powerful and great. Who talks to his love rival and suddenly go "swap with me your charm even though mine is very fancy and expensive and yours isnt and it will be sign of our brotherhood and connection and also now you have to meet my mother and wow she likes you and also i'm going to try to kill you but won't be able to do it and even though you know that I want to kill you you'll refuse to think less of me and now i'm going to kill the woman we're both in love with and you and i are going to spend the whole night up together taking turns watching her body and you're going to ask me to go into detail about how i killed her and you also knew i would kill her and wow does the fact that I was able to kill her but not you prove that I loved her more or less than how much i loved you and I know i've just damned myself to prison but please don't leave me until the morning and you're so so good so much that Taeko was scared to ruin you but i don't care if i ruin you too but also you're a lamb and you need to be careful about wolves like me and even though I killed the woman you love you're still lying next to me under all these blankets because there's a blizzard out and we have to keep the room cold to keep her body from decomposing and smelling because she looks so beautiful and you should go look at her too when the sun comes up and wow my life is worse for having met you but i can't curse you in any way because you are so so good." anyways i'm normal about him

No Significant Harassment

They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

Hello again, im the same Anon as the Jhin post. Firstly I'm screaming that sketch is so cute!!! You got crazy talent. It brightened up my night!! Also don't be stressed about sending things asap, you got a personal life and I already know the zine will be something worth waiting for.

Secondly, I agree with a lot of what you said! It would be fascinating to see how Jhin would be written. He was an Ionian prisoner so I imagine he has some disdain for authority figures of that sort; law officials, officers, prison guards. A friend and I have rambled about it a lot, we sort of came to the idea that it would make sense for Jhin's targets in Piltover/Zaun to be Enforcers because of that association. He catches a glimpse of how the Enforcers treat Zaunites and is like "ah, a new art project". And Viktor, going through his divorce era and being corrupted by the Hexcore might be willing to tolerate Jhin's focus on Enforcers. Might, being the key word.

League Viktor frequently uses unethical methods to save lives. And if Jhin were to soley target Enforcers then Viktor may see that as saving people in Zaun. Through that, they may get along. Additionally, in League lore, Viktor is frequently perceived as a madman. I feel like Jhin would look beneath Viktor's surface, beneath the mask, and understand him and his chaos. He'd think Viktor and his complexities are a work of art.

I adore Viktor, I love his morals and his compassion. I am both so nervous and so excited for season 2, I don't want Viktor to become the Herald entirely 😅. Sorry for such a long reply also oh my days. Take care!! ❤️

You are so kind dear Anon T-T I'm very interested by your theory and I think it could work well with Viktor! I'm hoping he won't be too corrupted by the hexcore tho... The few things I like about Machine Herald is that he created himself completely and he strongly believe he is going to make humanity better (or something like that). His original lore was more evil and chaotic than is current league of legend lore so I've hope for Arcane universe haha! I like that each skin/universe can change a champion. I believe people who love Viktor before Arcane really want him to be a cool villain while people, like me, who discovered him thanks to Arcane want him to stay who he is in s1 haha! If Viktor get completely corrupted by the hexcore, it changes who machine herald is in my opinion. We will always wonder what would have happened if the hexcore wouldn't have infected his brain. But if he has to be a mad man, I think he will be well written. They did great with Jinx's personalty and I like that she doesn't want to change by the end of s1. She chosed and accepted who she is. I usuqlly dislike chqrqcter like Jinx but I liked her is Arcane. I'd love if Viktor find someone who loves him and accepts who he really is. Maybe Jhin could be that person and they'd have an interesting dynamic. Maybe they could both do their own things to make Zaun "better". I wonder Viktor's relationship with enforcers. We didn't see him around Caitlyn (only around Marcus) so maybe he dislike them or if he secretly despites them. I wonder if he was already a student in Piltover when Zaun tried their failed "coup d'etat/rebellion" on the bridge and what kind of repercussion he got. My sleep deprived mind went wild and I started imagining a nice trouple with Jayce, Jhin and Viktor. It would make no sense but I love Jayce with Viktor no matter what haha!

[mrssimply]

For the advent fics request: male v/Kerry or male v/ johnny (or the ot3!) and consensual somnophilia? the actual kink negotiation part of it can be either included or handwaved/assumed to have already taken place. bonus points if the one sleeping is in the middle of a sex dream only to wake up and realize their dreams have come true.

Dear Anon, one thing you should kow is that is you leave me the possibility to turn the prompt into an OT3 then I'll do it ahah. I sort of found a compromise, I suppose ^^?

This is nearly pure PWP, and I hope you'll find it to your tastes :D please enjoy!

11th: Slimy

Johnny isn't sure what woke him up. It’s still dark outside, or as dark as the city ever gets. He feels wide awake, like a switch has been flipped inside his brain, and the remnants of a strange dream floats away as he stretches on his back. 

A discreet buzzing sound catches his attention and he turns to the side table by the bed. His phone is ringing, and it’s Kerry. The rockstar is currently in Japan, having accepted the invitation to open the Us Crack homecoming concert. He left his inputs behind in NC for a week and so far, if his social media and texts are to be believed, he’s having the time of his life. 

“Hey,” Johnny whispers after picking up.

“Heyyyy!” Kerry replies, he looks tipsy on the screen and Johnny is torn between exasperation and fondness.

“You woke me up.”

“Really? Fuck, what time is it your side?”

Johnny checks the little clock on the phone.

“4 a.m.”

“Oh, shit, sorry,” comes the reply, not sounding sorry at all. 

“How did the concert go?” Johnny asks, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

“I miss you. I miss V,” Kerry answers instead. Definitely tipsy, then.

“V is sleeping,” Johnny replies in a low tone.

“Awww shit, hm, Jesus, I always forget about the timezones.”

Johnny snorts because that’s always been the case, even before his death. Kerry can be very self-centered and distracted, especially when on tour where people tend to his every whims. It kind of goes straight to his head and he loses all sense of normalcy to become kind of an asshole, if an endearing one.

Taking pity on him, Johnny turns the phone to let him see V and he hears Kerry sighs like a lovesick puppy. It makes him wince: he might have changed thanks to a few months spent in V’s head, but he still can’t stomach all their loving shit, even if he’s part of their trouple. Trouple, what a stupid word.

Johnny watches V too, dark eyes running possessively over his sprawled form, over his naked skin, over his shapely ass. The young man’s breathing sounds a bit fast, and he licks his lips in his slumber as a minute frown appears on his forehead. 

Johnny smiles despite himself at how cute it is. Then V lets out a small moan and presses his hips to the mattress for a second, like a little thrust. Johnny’s smile turns into a smirk  and he hears Kerry snorts from across the world. 

“Someone is having a nice dream,” he comments. Johnny takes back the phone and watches Kerry settle more comfortably on his bed, removing his shirt and raking a hand in his hair to brush it back. He must be back in his hotel room, Johnny concludes.

A little whine on V’s side takes Johnny’s focus back onto him and he brushes his chrome fingers against V’s back. His reaction is sweet: he sighs and his muscles shift to follow the caress as goosebumps appear on his skin. The new arm has a smoother build, and more captors so Johnny can feel the texture of the young man’s skin even better than with his normal arm. It's dry and warm, soft because of V’s relaxed state.

“What’s he doing?” Kerry asks, obviously noting Johnny’s attention is on their partner.

“Dreamin’ about you, prolly.”

“Awww, look at you, being all sweet. You should help him,” Kerry suggests, and Johnny frowns.

“What, touch him or something?”

“Sure, he likes it.”

Johnny’s frown deepens. He doesn’t really like being reminded that for about a year, they had a life together which he wasn’t part of. That Kerry knows things about V Johnny doesn’t. 

The fact Kerry and V stayed together while he disappeared beyond the Black Wall, and not just that but worked together on bringing him back, had been a surprise. Kerry is generally fleeting in his infatuation and Johnny was half convinced he was only interested in the young merc because he was living in his head. Apparently, whatever the reason for their attraction at first, it blossomed into something real by the time they brought Johnny back. That’s another thing they share now, Johnny and V: living in a cloned body, and the rocker would hate how Corps are playing God if he wasn’t so happy to be alive. Then again, he never pretended not to be full of inconsistencies where his ethics are concerned.

Johnny lets his hand run up and down a few times, and each time V’s hips move to accommodate the gentle touch, and each time, Johnny dips lower and lower, until he brushes against V’s hole.

Unconsciously, the young man shifts, one leg drawing up to leave the path open to his core. He whines in frustration, tongue working in his mouth like he would love to have something to suck. It’s endearing and hot. Johnny wonders about what he is dreaming about, and what else he could do without waking him up. 

On the phone, Kerry smiles knowingly.

“You wanna try? I promise you he told me it’s fine. He likes waking up and discovering his dream isn’t just a dream. Like waking up full of my cock, told me it makes him feel loved.” 

The last part is said wistfully, drunkenness making Kerry a lot more open than he usually is. Johnny hesitates, but between his own curiosity, and wanting to please Kerry, it’s not like there is much of a choice. With a blink, he switches the cam from his phone to his Kiroshis. He only accepted to get them once V assured he’d pirated them so that there was no way any corp could hack them, and it’s true they’re fuckin usefull, and not just for what’s bout to unfold.

Kerry hums and opens his fly, no shame about it, just pure lust, confident he’s going to get what he wants via Johnny. The man gets on all four above the sleeping merc, giving Kerry a preem view of his ass. Johnny gently caresses V’s relaxed leg, from his calves to the top of his tight and hears him whine as his pelvis presses against the mattress again, rutting his hardening cock against the sheets. 

“You can eat him out,” Kerry indicates, “promise he’s a heavy sleeper when he feels safe. Won’t wake up ‘till you’re balls deep inside of him.”

Johnny lets his eyes roam over the expanse of V’s back once more before he puts both hands on either side of his waist. Slowly, softly, he bends to kiss his nape, and licks a path from the first knob of his spine to his tailbone. Just like he did when it was Johnny’s hand, V’s body moves to follow the heated touch and the young merc sighs sweetly. 

Johnny scratches his beard against V’s ass and feels the muscle contract and V shift under him. The merc arches like an invitation and the rocker can’t help but groan softly.

“Yeah,” Kerry concurs, “I know. Makes you want to fuck him hard and deep. Make him yours.”

Without answering, even if it’s absolutely true, Johnny sits back and parts V’s ass cheeks slowly, exposing his twitching hole. He’s still pretty loose from when Johnny fingered him until he came earlier before they went to sleep, too tired for more at the time. V really likes when they play with his ass, Johnny discovered. Hell, he’s no stranger himself to the joy of a good prostate massage, he even let Rogue peg him once, and a few of his outputs had the privilege of putting a finger up his ass as he was fucking them, but V and Kerry are on another league. Kerry gets feral, he climbs over either of them and ride them like they’re his favorite ponies. He gets greedy, wants both their cocks at the same time even if it’s too much, too fast, and slaps them if they don’t fuck him hard enough. V on the other hand, just turns into a submissive slut, moaning continuously, not moving much and just letting them have him until he cums hands free. Johnny will admit he really likes the idea he can make him climax with just his dick. 

Whatever he’s dreaming about, clearly Johnny isn’t too far off script, the way V tilts his hips to grant him better access. He brushes his thumb over the hole, watches it clench and unclench, hears Kerry moans softly at the sight. One glance up the left corner of his holo shows him his other partner with a hand inside his pants, lazily jerking off. 

Johnny pushes in, just the tip, watches the hole suck him in, before he leans down to lick over it.

“Keep your fuckin eyes open, J,” comes the growl over the phone and Johnny shivers. That’s also something new: Kerry using that voice, that tone, and the way his mind and body react. He tries not to think too much about it.

He gives Kerry a show, licking broad stripes over the twitching entrance, pushing a chrome finger in to the knuckle, and then two fingers, one from each hand. The teasing has Johnny hard, especially since he can hear Kerry’s breath hitch and his curses as he strokes himself.

Taking the lube and pouring a generous amount over his cock, Johnny takes the time to look at it, giving Kerry a view of his hard length disappearing into his tight fist, before he positions himself at V’s hole.

He checks to see if he’s still asleep, and discovers him sucking on a knuckle with an expression of confused pleasure on his still sleeping face. Johnny's gaze flutters from watching his cock get sucked into V’s ass and his face, noting all the micro expressions that wash over it as the sensations register in his dream. 

Kerry curses, the sound raw and out of breath, making Johnny grunt in answer as he pushes in and out, in and out until he bottoms. When he does, V lets out a gasp and opens his eyes for the first time. 

Johnny doesn’t give him the opportunity to take his bearings before he starts rocking inside him, no hard but not delicate either, going at his preferred pace. V’s eyes flutter shut as he lets out a long moan and arches his back even more, encouraging Johnny.

It’s like a kick in the gut for the man, who pushes his ganic hand between V’s shoulders to keep him down while he eases in and out. Johnny then bows over him to bite his neck as he thrusts into him forcefully.

“Shit, Johnny, let me see him,” Kerry whines, making Johnny smirks. He keeps like this for a moment, just to hear his life long friend curse and beg with more sweet moans.

Taking pity, Johnny leans back to watch V’s face. His eyes are still clouded by sleep, darkened by the rising pleasure he felt in his dream, which continues in his wakeful state. His mouth is half open, letting out a stream of pleasured noises as his hand grip the sheets. Sitting up, Johnny rubs the small of his partner’s back before stilling, letting him fuck himself on him. 

“Fuck, Johnny,” V whispers, sluggishly pushing on his forearms and knees to get more range of movement, rocking back against his partner.

Johnny lets him, holding his hips and watching his rim stretch around his cock as he pulls out. He glances up at Kerry, sees him arching and thrusting up into his fist, skin flushed and balls tight. Johnny bites his lips and curls his ganic hand around V’s hips to stroke his cock once, twice, before V slaps it away.

“No, don’t. Let me cum on your cock.”

The other man laughs and syncs his rocking with V’s, deepening the penetration, angling his dick so it brushes against V’s sweet spot and makes him keen and tremble. Between that and the other show happening on the other side of the planet, Johnny has no hope of lasting a lot longer. Especially since V and Kerry are both sighing right into his ears, looking absolutely debauched and on the edge themselves.

V’s ass is plum against Johnny’s hips, bouncing each time he bottoms out, so the rocker doesn’t stop it when the desire to slap it hard comes to him. V’s moan is explosive.

“Again,” Kerry cries out, “fuck again.”

So Johnny does it again and V lets out a strange sound, close to a sob but way more joyful. The sound makes his partner shudder and his cock twitch inside of him. With another desperate sound, V clenches around Johnny and comes.

“Fuck, baby!” Kerry shouts as he comes over his hand and Johnny lets his own climax take him under, grabbing V’s hips to keep him still as he pounds into him once, twice, a third time. He pants wetly above him, elaborated breath ghosting V’s nape, who has his face smashed into his pillow.

Johnny rests his forehead against V’s back, nuzzles him and savors the moment. After a while, he hears Kerry laugh over the holo. He knows what he’s gonna ask before he does, so Johnny leans back and pulls out, and lets Kerry see the cream pie gush out of V’s hole. He catches it with his fingers and licks them clean while V watches him do it over his shoulder.

“Say hi to Ker, V,” Johnny informs him, eyes glowing golden and transferring the call back to his phone. V takes it with a smile.

“Hi Ker,” he breathes, kneeling up, “enjoyed the show?”

“Which one? Mine was great. Yours was spectacular.”

V chuckles and turns to Johnny.

“Team effort.”

The other man shrugs before leaning in for a kiss.

“Sorry for waking you up, Ker got confused about time zones again," he explains against V's lips.

V hums, eyes half closed as he savors the touch.

“I don’t mind. Like waking up like this.”

On the phone, Kerry yawns and blinks sleepily.

“Love you,” he mumbles, taking back his shirt to wipe the cum with it before throwing the covers over him. The lights shut down in his room and he’s now only lit thanks to the holo’s screen.

“Are you seriously going to sleep after waking us up?” Johnny growls.

“Yep,” comes the shameless reply.

With an eye roll, Johnny gets up in search of his smokes, listening distractedly to Kerry and V’s soft goodnight conversation. He comes back with an ashtray just in time to see Kerry blink sleepily with a small smile, burrowing his face in the pillow and letting the holo open. 

They both watch him for a while like the fools in love they are, though it’s probably more apparent on V’s face.

The merc turns to him, steals his smoke and turns to lean back against the headboard.

“What were you dreamin about?” Johnny asks in a low voice.

V blinks, frowns and then blushes a bit.

“Something slimy?”

Johnny snorts.

“what… Tentacles?”

“Maybe? Don’t remember well,” he replies, scratching his head with a confused expression.

“You sure were into it.”

“Well, as you were, apparently.”

Johnny just smiles at him and settles back, taking the phone to watch Kerry sleep.

[relax-and-read-on]

Corvus/Mortarion/Konrad- the throuple everyone expects to fall apart spectacularly but ends up being surprisingly stable and supportive? They’re all shy, wary of themselves interacting with others, scared of hurting people they know are already hurt too. Corvus reminding Konrad he can still be a good person after a vision while Mortarion is more experienced in what calms down a body after a seizure. Mortarion telling anxiety-riddled Corvus that she’s making the right choices and doing good, and he’s unmoving enough that she believes him. All of them having days sometimes where they don’t do as well and just need a while to hide away from everyone else, and Corvus making up the best excuses to get them out of things (and maybe straight up sneaking them out of a stressful meeting)

.... I NEVER tough of them like that but ohhhh fuck I might have a new OT3?!? Anon that's my 3 fav introvert!!!

Here here, a few HC for each of them in that triade

Mortarion

Will sometime walk to one of his partner lounging around and just. Stuff his face in their belly as if they were a cat. Its pure serotonin.

By far the tallest. Almost two heads above them. It make Corvus pout that's he's too tall to kiss without bending. Konrad just climb him like a tree.

Used to be incredibly insecure about sex and his body, until corvus threatened to wack him, and Konrad just asked what a dysphoria was and would he feel better if Konrad kill it??

Why is he dating two sneaky sneak. Why. They just freaking materialised at his side randomly, it used to jump scare him quite badly.

He has the easiest time with words, in that trouple. He was probably the first one to say "I love you". Corvus get too in her head, and Konrad straight up forget how to talk sometime.

He's working on medications to at least help Konrad control the physical side effect of his visions. When he told him of this project, Konrad almost cried.

He never feel bad for his respirator when around them. In fact, Corvus will often grumble and remind him to wear it. Konrad is very intrigued by it, and has a hard time not playing with the tubbing.

His poor sons. They have no idea what to do when a Raven guard gift them a bunch of feathers, or when a Night Lord drag in a corpse to share. They want!!! To make friends!!! Morty is nice enough to establish general legions cohabitations guideline.

He love playing with his partners hairs. Corvus has poufy, fluffy ones, that almost feel like feathers, and konrad ones (when clean!!) Are soft and silky.

Corvus

She has no idea how she pulled that one off. She got TWO boyfriends?!?! What.

Her and Morty LOVE to nerd out together. They get in one of their lab and get super!! Excited!!! About whatever project they are working on!!!

She is constantly cold, due to bad circulation. Having two boyfriend keep her warm~~

She adore that they are the least concerned people EVER about her physical appearance. She does get dysphoria sometime, and the blank look they give her when she voice her insecurity is weirdly validating

They all, collectively, have a pretty low sex drive, and that's ok. She does bring up some of the sex toys she built in the bedroom, and they are VERY interested.

Her son always called her "mother", but now her bf sons sometime call her that too?!? It's Sevatar fault, he started doing it first and all the Night Lords followed, and the Death Guards had a panicked moment and collectively decided to do it too. Kayvaan doubled down by calling the other legions members "step-brothers". She find it kinda funny tbh.

They more often than not spend time on her ship or on Deliverance. It's a nice neutral zone, not too dark or toxic.

Konrad

It's a very strange feeling, being around people that CAN fight him off and stop him if need be. It's reassuring.

Still does not like showers. Will tolerate them if someone is keeping him company in it.

It was very... Touch and go at first, sex wise. His partners had to be extremely patient with him. Many triggers were discovered in the early days.

LOVE kissing. He's the first one surprised by this. It's safe, intimate, and he never had really done it before. Will sneak ambush his partners to kiss them.

The furnace. As such, when they all sleep together, he become a shared living blanket on top of them.

His partners are so?? Understanding of his various weirdness?? They even get him things to stim with. It really pacify him a lot.

His hatred of clothes continue. Why do they exist. If there was less clothes, he could have skin to skin contact more often with his partners!! Yes it means that sometime, he start trying to strip them randomly.

Actually??? A rather funny guy????? Yes, his humour is kind of morbid, but in a safe situations, he's the most likely to joke around.

He's a cat. We established this. As such, he like to bring gifts. Corvus is very touched, there is a huge traditions of gift giving in her legion. Mortarion is very confused, and is trying to convince them to please stop bringing dead rat and birds in his lab he has sensitive samples-

[gangrenados]

Tbh I don’t ship dick and kory. Maybe that’s just me being jealous of a fictional character, but I’ve always thought Kory deserves someone better bc they’re relationship together seems kinda unhealthy. I know she’s not in the show, but Kory and Artemis are perfect for each other and I could even see them dating Donna as well. They’d be a hot power trouple. Also! Did you hear the rumor that Bernard Dowde might be in season five as Tim’s boyfriend?

I'm glad I'm not the only one JAJAJAJAAJAJJAJAAJJAJAJA idk if it's jealousy or what, but same maybe not with Dawn but with Donna since Kory and her have a few things in common imo

As I said before I don't really care about Tim so that new is like pretty much meh to me, although I'm low-key disappointed cuz I like timkon better lol

[ggreactionsandscenarios]

Hey, how are you? Sorry, I haven't been conversating with you as much as before. But, I have been reading your recent posts and you're doing amazing. Keep up the good work. And I was wondering if I could request a Loona Scenario with Jinsoul and Yves being the fem idol! reader's girlfriends. And the reader who's in a group have to do a special stage with a boy group along with her members and one of the male idols get too close to the reader much to Yves and Jinsoul's disapproval. Have an amazing day, night, or morning ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jinsoul x Yves x Reader

Jealous lipstick

The performance was finally over, you had to start again the choreo at least nine times because the director was never satisfied. Everytime, there was something that he didn’t liked, you had time to exchanged numerous annoyed looks with your two girlfriends while he was monitoring the performance video.

It was Loona's first time dancing with a boy group so it had been quite new for you to dance with someone who wasn't one of your members or one of your girlfriends. However everything went pretty okay in your opinion and that was the most important.

“Finally I thought he was going to ask us to dance again, don’t tell anyone but I messed up a move, hope he won’t see it.”

You laughed along with your dance partner, because of how long the recording took, you two had time to get to know a little more about each other and you could tell he was a nice guy.

“I’m for sure telling everybody that it’s your fault if he makes us start again.”

“Ah you’re so mean Y/N, I thought we were friends but you betrayed me.”

He acted dramatically, gesturing to his aching heart.

“Poor you, you might need to buy me food before getting the right to call me your friend, I don’t hangout with anybody, you know.”

“Okay well what does your majesty want to eat ? I’ll see if the poor me can give it to you.”

He said kneeling in front of you jokingly.

“I want ..” You were about to answer but a voice cut you off.

“..nothing to do with you I’m afraid, so you better leave her alone.”

Sooyoung and Jinsoul just happened to hear your conversation and they didn’t seemed pleased with the idea of you eating with your dance partner.

“Hey babe, let’s go eat outside, Yves and I found a cozy restaurant near by.”

Jinsoul was way more gentle in her way of approaching you and your new found friend, she even bowed to him when she arrived contrary to Yves who automatically went for an verbal attack.

However you weren’t in the mood for their nonsens, you were just making a friend nothing bad so they’ll have to deal with it.

“You can go eat with Sooyoung, I have plans with my friend, I’ll see you guys later.”

To say your girlfriends were dumfounded would be an understatement, they thought they were your saviour right there but every guy wasn’t a threat.

You led BM outside with you, kind of pissed at your girlfriends for babying you too much again, you were a grownup after all.

“Did I do something wrong ?”

“Oh .. hmm no, my girlfriends are just acting possessive again, I’m sorry for that. I’ll pay for the food as an apology how does it sound ?”

“Did I became a knight already your highness ? Free food always sounds good to me.”

You were thankful for his bad joke right now, he was telling you that you two were okay and you were happy to have met such a great friend.

“Not yet a knight, I’ll think about it but you might be a friend already.”

You smiled at each other while entering the cozy restaurant nearby without knowing that it was the one Jinsoul mentioned before. You talked while eating, it was nice to talk with a guy for once, girls were fine but it’s just been a while since you had a guy friend to talk to.

You were so into what Bm was explaining to you that you didn’t notice your girlfriends sitting few tables away, watching you cautionly. They were feeling guilty for being too jealous but they wouldn’t admit it yet because the guy was still too close for their liking. Feeling that only grew stronger when he made physical contact with you, trying to show you how to do L.A.’s sign.

Jinsoul had to keep Yves from standing up, the girl was fuming. Jinsoul knew how you wanted to be independent and understood the feeling so she made a point on letting you see that your new friend was too close yourself.

It’s only when BM pointed to your lips, asking you what was the colour of your lipstick that your started to find it odd for a friendly question. As an instinct you turned your head looking for your girlfriends help since they were usually always near you. And this time too you met their eyes, realizing that you had been too harsh on them and that you actually might need them.

Sooyoung didn’t wait for you to say anything, she got up and came to you, Jinsoul  went to the cashier to pay for your food. She was always the one to think about rational things while Sooyoung was most of the time too reckless to care.

Surprisingly this time your girlfriend succeed to keep her calm she remained cordial when patting BM’s shoulder, making him turn around.

“Sorry to bother you but we need to get our girlfriend back before you decide to try to go further with this lipstick technique.”

You looked at your girlfriend, impressed and proud of her self control.

“Oh I wasn’t, I ... I’m sorry if you thought I was being flirty, I did understand that Y/N was taken.”

You truly believed what he was saying, he didn’t seem to be one to lie about such things and your girlfriends seemed to believe him too, surprisingly.

“Why talking about lips then ?”

Jinsoul asked, just coming back from the counter.

“I was asking because I’m looking for a birthday present for one of my members, she has a similar style to Y/N so I thought that she might like it too.”

Just like that BM had win your girlfriends hearts, the day ended with the four of you sat together brainstorming about what he could buy for his member.

Hey, I'm good no worry about that you don't need to apologise. Thank you and I will keep up the good work. I've been wanting to write trouple scenarios for so long so hope you'll like it (give feedback) 😊-Ael

GUNDAM WING - REWATCH - 41 - 42

41. Crossfire at Barge

RHYTHM EMOTION FINALLY

What’s Zechs doing in a mobile suit, they ask. It’s like he likes to fight and they have no idea what his military history is....

Duo to Trowa: Hey lets all subtly pretend we aren’t here and then join the conversation and the battle in a really natural way.

Wing Zero just magically knows that that’s Sally Po

Sally the Gundam Finder. We don’t know where Trowa left it, right? Just she found it. Like a person who finds water in the desert.

Cool shot of Wing Zero’s eye

Now that Duke Dermail is dead, Relena is the only one who can control Romefeller. IS she tho??

TREIZE RETURNS

A red dawn rises, blood has spilled last night

Ooh evil face Relena for a moment

I’ve seen Frozen, I know that she is supposed to wear a dress and crown at all time, even when brooding and locked in a room.

Treize just strolling in and laying down the law. Such a BAMF.

Relena wants to stop Zechs. She thinks she’s the one who has influence over him??? Have they even met face to face since they were children???

Treize: You are free. Leave the gowns, we’ll use them later.

Dorothy is ready to stalk Relena to the ends of earth and even space

This White Fang guy who doesn’t want Zechs to use his mobile suit changed his mind quickly

Trowa just doing own thing, even with amnesia

Oh, I forgot that Heero would have brought Epoyn to Sanc so that’s why Noin knows and Quatre thinks it might be Heero

I love how Trowa has no memory but his instincts are pushing through

Well, Zechs, that’s one way to take care of barge, just cut it in half

Everyone is pretty sad that Barge is gone even tho it was trying to take them out…? Do we even know who we are fighting any more???

42. Battleship Libra

Lieutenant Nichol? He’s still around? I for got about that guy.

Lady Une in a magic case. Like Sleeping Beauty.

Treize stays on brand by bringing Une a $200 bouquet of roses

Treize just subtly dropping some large scale secret plans to comatose Une

That Romefeller stained glass is amazing

This Romefeller parliament is a brodeo. 

Treize’s machinations are amazing. I love him. 

Who is Relena traveling with? Is that Oz? The Treize faction? Why do they just let some rando 15 year old go into space? The Sanc Kingdom doesn’t exist, Romefeller kicked her out... she’s no one.

The voice acting is getting a little sloppy. That was basically just Duo and Zechs chatting there.

Gundam 05?!

“If you guys are justified, then you’ll defeat me” Wufei that really isn’t how battles work.

Is Wufei saying, “if you can’t beat me, you can’t beat Treize?” Or “I’m protecting Treize?” I am confused. I think he’s confused, too.

Who was this random who just killed himself but sounded just like Zechs? 

Too many fools in outer space. Amiright?

OK, everyone loves Treize again. Gotcha. (One of us)

Wufei has no time for anyone floating around space near him. Space is infinite why are you flying near me

This is such a crazy buddy cop spin off: Sally, Wufei, and Heero

It’s Wufei’s turn in the Zero system

“The road I’m taking is the correct choice” famous last words, Wufei. 

Wufei is like “If I’m wrong the world will end. Oh, it didn’t end, I must be right. Obvi”

Heero saw Relena. Wufei sees Treize and Zechs… I’m just saying. Wink Wink

Hey you guys remember the alliance, right? No, god, it’s been like 40 episode, thanks for reminding us. 

Wufei: The Zero system says I have to have a weird sewer orgy with the other Gundam Pilots…. Well, if you say so. 

“Treize and Zechs are my enemies” Really Wufei, I thought it was telling you you needed to become a trouple with them… but ok. You do you. 

Zechs will just fire on Dorothy, and she’s like, whatever. I’ll just monologue through my arousal. 

“I’m the only one who can stop my brother” Again. Are you tho???

Thoughts:

Just Communication vs Rhythm Emotion: So whenever I think about Gundam Wing, Rhythm Emotion is the song that pops into my head. When I made a post about doing this rewatch, I added Rhythm Emotion... But it’s crazy, we get it start at episode 41 of a 49 episode show! Granted, they teased it for the last few episodes, but still. The Rhythm Emotion opening gives us new poses, the upgraded Gundams (including Epyon), some weird royal garb for Heero and Relena, but Treize is conspicuously absent (oh and no whip sound effext so minus points for those). It’s a great up beat song, that jumps us right into the action and sets the pace for where we are in the story... That being said, Just Communication is objectively a better opening. We se so much more of the cast, and it takes it time and has a very satisfying end before the show starts. Rhythm Emotion feels rushed and the end of the opening feels so abrupt. I mean whatever, I still love both songs, but do you guys remember the remix version???

OK, in regards to the actual episodes... I hate to say this but I feel like things are getting a little sloppy. We spent like 20 episode setting up these complex relationships, and then like 20 more building up conflict, and then oh shit we have to wrap this up in less than 10 episodes. We’re doing a lot of info dumping so we can remember what organization is what, and so we know the motivations of the characters. I mean, look, it’s not like it’s the final episodes of Evangelion or anything, and I remember the last two episodes being amazing, it’s just it’s not as tight as it was during the first 3/4 of the show.

What I think I remember for the next episode(s):

Does Trowa finally get to be the final pilot to go for a spin in Wing Zero now that the band is basically back together? Relena has to go stick her foot in it at some point as well.

But here, his brown, Tennessee whiskey eyes are looking at her and then he looks away and Kelsey stares blindly at the television. or; kelsey finds out just how much shane loves her.

Blood Moon Rising

Title:  Of the Blood

Featuring: Angelica, Leo ( mention of Rowan)

Summary: Not a man, nor a beast but something more. When Rowan awakens to find himself thrust into a world hidden from him for years. Finding himself a part of a pack, and to uncover the mystery of his heritage and the two people that seemingly know him better then he knows himself. A prophecy on the verge of fulfillment; will Rowan be able to face this new life and the people in it? Or will his destiny be to much for him to bear?

A/N: I had this sitting in my drafts for the longest time. So this is me, posting it after editing it to the place I want. Or at least to the place I think I want it idk lol . Anyway, we get a glimsp of what the future holds for the trouple.  Destiny is a fickle mistress; next update will be with Jude and Rowan as well as more trouple time!

Angelica didn’t leave the tent after Rowan. Instead, she busied herself getting to work. The voices in her head, screaming at her. Telling her what she had already known.  His presence was  known to her instantly. Even before the shift, before he transformed into his wolf. Angelica had felt his presence in the Cresent City the moment Rowan arrived. That was the thing with the prophecy of the blood. It came in a trio, and Rowan was the missing link. A fact, that took some convincing for Leo.  He was taking longer to convince, Jude believed Angelica’s words before she even spoke them. Not surprising. Jude had always been that way. Even in their past lives, Jude was the one to feel the connection stronger than her counterparts. Angelica wasn’t sure if it was because she was an empath. Regardless, in each life. With each new body, personality, persona. Jude rarely needed much convincing.  With Rowan and Leo that was another matter. The pair were so easily confused about their feelings. Often fighting against the very thing they wanted most— each other.

Just having to muddle through their long histories alone infuriated Angelica. She could clearly see the bond there. How these two men could be so oblivious, was beyond her.

“Are you planning on staying here another night?” came the voice. Of course, she had felt Leo’s aura enter the room without turning around.  Rather then greet her pack leader; Angelica kept her eyes on the bowl. Blooms of smoke rising out of the metal cylinder as she inhaled the fumes.

“ You’re ruining my concentration.” she replied.

Hands continuing to waft the smoke up towards her face. She listened as Leo’s heavy foot falls came closer. Closer still until she felt the warmth of his body radiate next to her. She kept her eyes on the bowl. Focused, as she waited to see if the wolf spirit would grant her a vision.

“ Or maybe there is nothing to see.”

She closed her eyes — but not before she rolled them, “ You don’t believe that.”

“ I do, I brought him here for Jude’s sake. You and she were so convinced-”

“And you refuse her nothing.”

She heard him chuckle before he continued, “ I never could after I laid eyes on her. I never will. But Rowan...”

Apprehension coated his words. This caught her attention; her eyes slowly opened as she turned to look at Leo. He wasn’t one to mince words. For as long as she knew him. Leo knew the right words for any situation. To see him  be so stubborn in the lie that he was trying to convince himself — because he would never convince her— was almost laughable. If it wasn’t completely sad to watch. Placing a small hand over his own, she smiled at him. “ — is of the blood.”

She watched as he looked away, head low as he shook it. Pulling his hand out of her reach; shoving them deep into his pockets. “ I don’t feel it. With Jude it was instant. It hit me like a brick wall, there was no way to deny it. Rowan... I... that is... he’s attractive yes. Very attractive but it’s different. Not to mention unheard of.” Angelica raised a brow, “ I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be the first alpha to have a same-sex mate Leo.” “No I wouldn’t, having two mates? That, isn’t a thing. From what I understand of this prophecy.  One might die so that two can live. Or thee trio will perish and the pack will burn?” he runs a hand through his hair. She can see the frustration building in him. However, Angelica stays silent. 

“ Or some shit like that. So you’re telling me were soul mates but we can never be together? “ I don’t have all the answers Leo. I can only tell you what the wolf spirit tells me. And they are telling me that he is of the blood. Try and convince yourself other wise but he is who I’ve said he is.”

A prophecy scribe so long ago, during the age of the first wolf. The Orginal wolf, the one that came into being at the time the world needed them most. They were the ones that spoke to her now. Whispering at times, yelling during others. Each message clearer then the next. Rowan Polat was of the blood.

He would complete the trio

 —and he would die so that his mates and the  pack could live.

Galactica: Beneath the Amber Moon - Intro

This story is set in 2018, about 2 ½ years after the main Galactica story ended (with Raja and Raven’s wedding). Major events since then: Sutan forced Raven into retirement and after getting over her initial rage, she took the opportunity to get pregnant, giving birth to the twins in 2017. Bianca and Courtney went through a dramatic breakup, then got back together, then broke up again. They’ve been apart for two years, during which Courtney’s fame has skyrocketed, but nothing got resolved between them. Violet took a job at Dior in Paris, inviting Sutan to come with her. At first, he refused, but after missing her horribly, confessed his feelings and moved in with her. Juju and Detox have been fighting a lot and their relationship is strained. Alaska has been wanting to start a family - Jinkx is supportive but less stressed about it, and Adore is avoiding the conversation at all costs.

-

Guess who’s back? It’s @veronicasanders and I! We are going to post a new story soon that is set in the Galactica universe. For those of you who have never read it, here’s a little background to help you get caught up.

Fame (41) - Owner of Galactica, an international fashion and lifestyle brand. Controlling, dramatic, and infinitely lovable. Considers her friends her “chosen family” and would do anything for them.

Patrick (44) - Fame’s husband. A very patient lawyer who runs the business side of Galactica and puts up with Fame’s dramatic shenanigans. They went through a rocky period a few years back but are solid now, fully accepting of each other.

Violet (27) - A designer for Dior Couture in Paris, and Miss Fame’s former assistant. A workaholic who hates being in the heat, and gets a little stressed being with the group, but puts up with it for her boyfriend, Sutan.

Sutan (45) - A modeling agent and former playboy. Now utterly committed to Violet, having followed her to Paris.

Raja (45) - Sutan’s twin sister. A former supermodel and Artistic Director of Galactica. Has been married to Raven for 2 ½ years.

Raven  (34) - A former model and current influencer. Loves being spoiled. A bit of a cunt, but we love her anyway.

Tanya and Isolde (1) - Raven and Raja’s twins. Tyrants in training. Bianca sarcastically calls them “the miracles.”

Bianca (44) - Editor in chief of Marie Claire magazine. Fame’s best friend (although Raja might disagree), has a romantic history with her. A player, known in the industry as a starmaker. Loves young blondes. Had an intense relationship with Courtney which ended badly 2 years ago.

Courtney (25) - Worked briefly as Miss Fame’s assistant after Violet was promoted, until Bianca swept her off her feet and helped her jump start her career as a pop star. Recently starred as the first gay Disney Princess and just finished filming Wonder Woman 2 (as Supergirl).

Adore (26) - Bianca’s baby sister and Courtney’s best friend. Fronts a punk band called ‘Femslash’ and lives with Jinkx and Alaska in a polyamorous trouple.

Jinkx (40) - A Broadway star and department store heiress who runs a nonprofit foundation for the arts. The kind of Rich that makes the rest of them look like wage laborers. Met the group in her boozy socialite days - eventually got clean after multiple stints in rehab and a disastrous engagement to Sutan that everyone would rather forget.

Alaska (38) - Executive at Galactica; runs the makeup department. Sometimes a little overwhelmed by the group dynamics (especially being around her bosses so much), but pushes through for her girlfriends.

Jujubee (41) - A high-end hair stylist. Married to Detox after a surprise pregnancy with their oldest, Kelly. Raven’s best friend.

Detox (44) - Owner of a tabloid magazine/website. Frequently publishes stories about his friends, which they tolerate because they love him, even though it annoys them.

Julia & Owen (7) and Grace (4) - Juju and Detox’s 3 youngest kids. Rambunctious but generally pretty well behaved. Julia is obsessed with Courtney.

Karl (44) - Sutan’s best friend and fellow modeling agent. Based in London. Gay and a total fuckboi player.

[ STARE ] : while the receiver is speaking, the sender’s gaze drifts to their lips. (Leo)

@leoweatherington

“So this new book I’ve been reading is about this couple, well it’s a trouple and it’s set in the 30s and it’s so raw and beautiful and I might have teared up, but I was thinking assigning it to my class....” Steele trailed off when they noticed that Leo was staring at their lips. “Do I have something on my lips?” They teased.

[ask-gayharrypottercharacters]

Your opinion on the following pairings: James/Lily, Harry/Ginny, Luna/Neville, Cho/Cedric, Harry/Hermione, Ron/Blaise, Severus/Hermione. I like your new layout btw ! Also, for a trouple Hermione and the twins is a popular thing.

OOC: 

Jily: i hated them at one point but now i adore them. At first i started shipping them because i didn’t like lily/snape. Now i just think they’re so fun and not at all basic like i first thought. I like the fact that she rejected him for so long and i like to think she started falling for him when he started to understand that literally harassing her was not a good strategy lmao. Hate to love always does wanders to me.

Hinny: i’m not the biggest fan but honestly they pass. I’m the biggest fan of their friendship though and i like to think they dated for a few months and then stayed the best of friends. I like their dynamic as friends a little bit better but even as lovers i can appreciate them. I don’t think Harry needs to marry Ginny to fully be part of the Weasley family though.

Luna/Neville: i totally respect it if you ship it but i don’t really. It mostly comes from the fact that i don’t really ship Luna with anyone. Might headcanon her as asexual tbh. Also while reading the books i always thought Neville was gay so yeah.

Cho/Cedric: LOVE them. I don’t think they should have spent their lives together but honestly they’re so sweet as teen lovers. 

Harry/Hermione: idk about them. When i was younger they were my hp otp, then i started liking their friendship so much that i liked them better as friends and i still think that jkr was right in not making them lovers because that would have been so expected and easy. But at the same time man, i really do like them together. Like in the movies for example, when they dance together, that’s so sweet that they did that as friends but there’s still a part of me that can’t help but think that they’d be so good for each other, you know? Not especially a big passionate soulmate thing but they would do right by the other and they’ve been through so much honestly i just want them to have a comfortable and sweet loving relationship with someone that would never let them down haha. So i don’t know i’m still debating.

Ron/Blaise: i don’t dislike it. I mean i saw the drawings and i like the freckles on black skin, it’s hot. Same goes with Ginny/Blaise. But it’s not like i’m a fan either.

Severus/Hermione: nah i don’t like this one. Like i respect that you might like it, my girlfriend even does, but like no. Severus is so nasty and there’s not even an intellectual reason that would make me ship them. I ship snape with literally no one. Severus/harry could make sense but even them is not an option to me. I’m all ears though if you like it, i wanna know why it makes sense to you!

Hermione and the twins: omg !!!!! No i don’t necessarily like it but i’m aware of that ship yeah. I think angelina and the twins is fucking amazing and canon tbh!!!!

[sunshine304]

Okay, getting a bit more info on Yin Pei, thanks for that. He’s got the sheath of his family’s sword with him because it seems Azure Dragon Master stole the sword when he attacked the family. Is that a given now? That he did it?

ChuChu yet again MVP, taking notes and doing paintings of Duan Jianiang’s fighting style! I also love how she always looks so meek, but she’s actually really assertive, and helpful, and also really clever. I love her interactions with A-Fei, together with XY they’re a great trouple! Also, good to see A-Fei actually trying to connect the dots re XY, like: Hm considering his lightness skills are so amazing it seems really weird that he has no internal power whatsoever. Strange.

OMG when Ji Yunchen asks A-Fei about her skill level and she’s like, „Ehhh I’ve been training for 2-3 years…“ and then she thinks what an embarrassment she is because she’s so „slow“ in learning while JYC just boggles at her, and she amends to, „Ok, 1-2 years, whatever“. And then admitting to ChuChu that uhm no, it’s more like 6 months, while XY goes in the background, „Seriously, if you’re not using demonic methods 2-3 years is super fast, hello!“ XD

And how Ji Yunchen has her analysed immediately, like, „Hey Zhou Fei, you wanna help me fight and kill the bad guy?“ and A-Fei is like, „Ah well, why not, sounds good.“ and Xie Yun is like, „NOOOO don’t do it!“ yet again seeing his future marriage endangered. XD

And XY is sooo frustrated because A-Fei just can’t read him right. She yet again assumes that he must be afraid of death because he always runs away (but at least this time she understands that she said sth not good) and he’s actually angry, going, „I take you to be my soulmate and you ask if I’m afraid of death!“ Poor Xie Yun!

And I wrote down that he said „zhiji“, did he? because whoa.

Anyway, I felt like the last two eps or so have been dragging a bit with them walking through the forrest and through the cave and talking, while the bad guys are following them loudly banging their gongs OMG and also just walking around.

But aha, it’s getting more lively!

Azure Dragon Master likes how A-Fei fights and wants to recruit her, as you do. Promising her all kinds of awesome stuff, and A-Fei just goes, „Nope“. And he immediately gets angry, like „Stinky girl (that insult is just…) you shouldn’t be allowed to learn more and get even better (really!), now die!“ XD

And thank you for confirming that you really killed the Yin Clan/Sect, and Ji Yunchen of course is able to fight when it looks dire.

Love how XY always, always talks his way out of any situation. XD He explains Dragon Master’s deal to him and then explains his body armour, and A-Fei is so happy that it wasn’t her lacking any skills but that she would’ve gotten some good hits in if not for that body armour. XD

Nice that Yin Pei helped fighting that bad guy, that was at least sth. And of course Ji Yunchen dies after he managed to virtually give A-Fei his skills. XD Now I’m wondering where the Dragon Master’s soldiers went? Did they just… leave?

So, Yin Pei is also searching for the Hai Tian Ye Se (?) which I guess is the McGuffin we are waiting for to be explained. It was at least kinda nice of him to leave the body armour with ChuChu!

So, basically A-Fei just walks around, meets lots of old masters who are the last of their kind and manage to teach her their super awesome skills, and then die. XD And Li Sheng is doing basically the same somewhere else in the woods. At least the Daoist master isn’t dead yet.

Oh nooo Xie Yun tells a short version of his story but of course without actually saying that it’s about him. :( How old was he there, about 12-13? And then he was just used as bait and decided that this is shit, and calls himself a deserter. I’m pretty sure that’s not how it really went down. Someone rescues him but he was poisoned and the poison is still there but kinda blocked. But that’s why he can’t use his martial powers anymore. :(

I also really liked the landscape at that ruined house (that was where Duan Jianiang had that meeting with Li Zheng, right?). Just, really pretty with the horses and mountains in the background. And mysteriously A-Fei suddenly has a fainting spell right there. hmmm

OMG Li Jinrong lets Li Yan leave the mountain because she whines loud enough! XD I mean I can’t fault her, I would also want some peace and quiet once in a while, but... are you sure you should send her out into the world? While you’ve already kinda lost a daughter and a nephew out there? Li Yan does not seem like someone who would do well in a fight. But then again, letting her loose on the world might be funny, she’ll likely just whine and pout the villains into submission. XD

Ah yes let’s just all meet up in Hengyang City, why not! Xie Yun + A-Fei are on their way because XY of course “knows a guy”. And Evil overlord Shen Tianshu wants to go there because.. I assume he wants to meet the same guy? This will be fun. Wow and the new evil master of the Disha is called Killer Leopard, Gu TianXian. Their names are really sth else. XD

Seriously, why why why is everyone entrusting General Wen with the safety of anyone?! “Please take good care of Chuchu because evil guys are after her!” Yeah no problem, he just leaves her standing there in the forest because he must look for the hunter traps himself. Good thing that it was Li Sheng who was strolling through this very same forest and happened upon her before Disha did. And of course Li Sheng is the happy puppy he is and doesn’t even tell her his name, just goes, “Hey you look like that girl A-Fei and I saw the drawing of!” XD I’m not really sure what he wants to accomplish with his plan, couldn’t they have just... stayed hidden in the underbrush or something?

The Aus

So guys my previous post got some notes so here the aus from my next potential story.

And if anyone wants one of them to be my next fic, you can vote here or there is a link in my blog!!! Thank you! Also you can vote once every day!

Saika!au: The first au i had when i had watch Durarara. As crazy as it sounds, i wanted Izaya to have Saika. The main part, the strongest. Well, he used knives, had close-to-red eyes and also well he was the vilian. So in this fic, i thought maybe Izaya wasn’t the “Izaya” we saw. It was Saika all along that it was using him but after an accident, Izaya started gaining again his body back. So, Izaya is like what we see him in the anime but he is a little good than the version of Saika is showing to everyone.

Gang!au:  In this one Izaya was secretly in a gang that paid him to survive when he had come in Japan. His parents left him there with his sisters so he is in charge of everything. His parents don’t give him money and the other jobs don’t give as much he needs to help his sisters. So we see him in the gang and how slowly he becames the informant broker he never wanted to become. He starts to want to leave it but then there is the blackmail. So after that we see him trying to escape the gang and how slowly he starts to develop a relationship with Shizuo.

From younger age!au:  In this one, Shizuo and Izaya have meet when they were in the primary school and slowly the develop feelings with each other but none does the first step. So we see their relationship, how Izaya reacts to Shizuo bleaching his hair and if you think about it, the fic is like a normal highshool au.

Brown hair!au:  Shizuo has to turn his hair back like it was for unknown reasons and that hair it drives a certan someone crazy. Maybe in love? Maybe it just annoys him.

Mission!au:  The company that Shizuo works has a little problem dragging the one that owns them money and the only one that can help is not other than the informant broker. So the company assings Izaya with Shizuo’s team and that causes some trouple. But the thing is that Izaya is getting along with the team but also he can’t fight Shizuo. That makes Shizuo’s life harder. (I wanted a fic that showed a friendship between Izaya and Vorona.)

Priest!au:  Priest!Shizuo and his helper Izaya. Both of them protect a local church that it has many priests inside and one day Izaya brings Mikado, a younger priest, to meet Shizuo. Shizuo greets and enjoys his company while Izaya smiles quetly. Izaya after the meeting he spends some time with him. But the next moring there is the sound of bells that show that someone died. Izaya. After some time, Shizuo finds that vampires had kill his friend and after he becomes a hunter, he starts to fight them for revenge. But what happens when he meets one day a familiar face in one of the vampires?

Fake dating!au:  This is au is always my cup of tea.  In this shizaya needs to fake that they are a couple in order to accomplise something.

Dating!au: A cliche au. One of the duo understands that they have fallen for the other and they try to make a realtionship. Emphansis on try.

Yakuza!au:  A fic that kinda sounds like viewfinder. Shizuo is a top yakuza and Izaya a normal informant broker. But Izaya respects Shizuo even though he makes his life harder. Shizuo on the other hand, sees Izaya as a pawn but after an incident that changes.

Change!au: All is opposite. Shizuo is bad and Izaya is good. In some words, Shizuo is crazy, psychopath and destroys everything he touchs. But Izaya is the only one that sees potental in him and so…shits happen.

Spy!au:  Spies….there are spies. Probably partners but in what degree.

Detective!au: A fic that shows that everything Izaya did was for the police. He needed to find something important and when he did, he reveals that he is in the police. The personality though is the same and that pisses Shizuo even more.

Animal!au: All of the characters are in form of an animal. Animals or people with animals features is still in thought.

Criminal and Officer!au: Shizuo is an officer that everyone respects. But one day someone brings in the police a man that was accused for a murder that according by him, he didn’t do. Yes it is Izaya. So Shizuo is charged to take him somewhere but Izaya got his handcuffs and click, now they are cuffed together. Shizuo must get rip of him before he lose his mind.

Angel of Death!au: Izaya is angel of death, a person  that meets and sees and takes the person’s soul. He can’t stop their death but if he wanted he could postponed it. But someone is making his hard diffucult because he isn’t acting like he wanted. He is the only one that he can’t predict. So Izaya gets down on earth and tries to kill him but in the way his feelings change.

Leader!au: Before anyone says anything, it is different from gang!au. In this Izaya is a leader on a powerful that is semi!active in the streets of Ikebukuro. So someday the gang needs its leader back.

Switch!au: Everyone switches personalities. Izaya is Shizuo, Shizuo is Izaya, Celty is Shinra, Shinra is Celty etc.

New start!au: Where Shizuo and Izaya met exactly the same but their words changed bringing in the scene an unlikely relationship. So a different start!

Jealous!au: That au is set after Izaya was stabbed. So one day Shizuo after he left the prizon (legally) he found Izaya and fought again. But the stab made Izaya a little slower so Shizuo captures him. Shizuo notices the slash, he gets angry and tells that he will find who did it and leave a confused Izaya standing there. So, the fic is just Shizuo getting jealous at everyone getting Izaya’s attention and vie versa with Izaya.

Mythical Creature!au:  I am Greek so that au is never getting old to me. Like Celty that is a dullahan, Izaya would be Nyx. Nyx is godness of darkness, the persopication of night. Shadow powers and the loneliness is a part of her character. Similar to Izaya. So like Celty, Izaya is searching for something and brings chaos untill he finds it.

School!au: Just the durarara group in a school. The older are teachers and the younger students.

In time!au: The movie in time when everyone stops growing old when they reach 18 but the have a clock that counts backwards untill it reaches 0. If it does, you die. Everything is bought with time and working gains you time. So i don’t know. I love this au, it is like soulmate au but there is no soulmate.

Mentor!au: In this Shizuo is a top leader,yakuza, criminal something so in one of his missions they beat up Izaya as the traitor in their group. After some beating, they decide to kill him. But Shizuo stops them and takes Izaya under his wing but is he a person you can work with? No.

And the one that i think maybe i would write because it is a really different au!au: So lets say that the school that the Raira kids is another academy from Raijin. Raijin academy is elsewhere and it was closed after Izaya and Shizuo had graduated from it because they had caused so much damage in it that they closed. So after so many years Shizuo gets a letter that says that he and Izaya need to fix it or else their handywork would send them again in school. After some persussion they go and try to fix the place. But in the meantime that hate might change in something different. A really long slow-build fic that it will give the unrequired love from Shizuo’s side this time.

Summary: 

If the perfect blank canvas walked in, wouldn’t you want to paint it too? Or in which one Wei Wuxian colors the entire world of one Lan Wangji.

Start from the beginning [AO3] [Tumblr]

-----------

Closing the shop is as much of an ordeal as opening it in the mornings. It follows the same procedure, putting the tools into the autoclave and disinfecting every single surface anyone has touched, which is everywhere. A-Yuan sits sleepy in Mianmian’s chair as Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang clean to the sound of quiet alternative playing through the speakers. 

“So. Your brother.” Wei Wuxian leans against the pole of the mop. He’s been meaning to upgrade to a swiffer at some point but ah well, someday sometime. “I didn’t know he was getting a tattoo, much less with those two. Who’s that Lan Xichen anyways? Never seen him around.” 

Nie Huaisang laughs as he takes down the pinned designs. They cycle through a few folders every week to give people fresh perspectives on their styles and such, plus it makes this place look far more lived in. “Well, they’re new in town I think. Lan Xichen and his brother. Moved into da-ge’s apartment complex maybe,” he counts on his fingers, “four or five days ago? Like super new. Anyways, apparently Lan Xichen’s the kind to bring osmanthus cakes to the neighbors and da-ge had Jin Guangyao over and bam, just met like that!” 

Wei Wuxian isn’t all that prying about other people, especially when it comes to people like Nie Mingjue who could and would break your spine in half if you bugged him. Not that he would to his little brother’s friends but Wei Wuxian was never quite sure of how real the threat actually was so he chose instead to keep a low profile. “So then they’re friends now?” He quirks an eyebrow when Nie Huaisang begins to snicker. “Not friends?”

“Oh definitely friends. But y’know how da-ge and Jin Guangyao have known each other for a really long time?” Wei Wuxian nods. Family friends or something brought them together and since they were close in age, they had become close. Friends isn’t necessarily the right word in Wei Wuxian’s opinion but he’s not here to judge. “Well so they’re dating-”

“WHAT.” Wei Wuxian’s screech wakes A-Yuan who makes adorable grumbling sounds as he clutches a pillow close to him. “What.” Wei Wuxian whispers, eyes huge and it’s all Nie Huaisang can do to not fall over laughing.

“Yeah, so they’re dating, it’s a long story,” he whispers back between giggles. “It was really weird cause they’ve never seemed like, to like each other but I guess stuff happened when I wasn’t looking. And they’re dating and whatever and according to da-ge, Lan Xichen just kind of naturally fell into it.” 

“Soooo, a trouple?” Nie Huaisang makes a face at the term (it’s always sounded weird to him) but shrugs and nods anyways. “Wow.” Wei Wuxian kind of feels like he needs to sit down. Moreso at the shock that 1) Nie Mingjue dating and 2) Nie Mingjue dating Jin Guangyao and 3) Nie Mingjue dating Jin Guangyao and also dating new in town handsome man Lan Xichen and 4) deciding to get matching tattoos together within a week of knowing each other. “Huaisang, d’ya think this is your brother’s way of proposing or something?” He’s met with a shrug and a semi-mischievous smile. Wei Wuxian knows exactly what that means and sighs, turning instead to finish mopping instead of thinking about that whole mess. He doesn’t miss how Nie Huaisang sneak up to him, holding the binder of designs to cover half his face. 

“Soooo, Wei-xiong,” Nie Huaisang sing-songs next to Wei Wuxian, eyes alight with amusement. “I saw you were, ehem, captivated by Lan Wangji?” 

A dreamy sigh. “Yeah, he’s just. So pretty.” 

So pretty. Dressed beautifully in a long coat, plain white shirt and jeans. A difference from his earlier look in slacks and a button up. Wei Wuxian wonders why he was dressed up in the morning like that. He sees again those red-pink ears, adorable especially with Lan Wangji’s lips pressed together. Pretty, pretty shades of gold hazel eyes that Wei Wuxian swears he’s never seen before. Nie Huaisang snorts, nudging him with the corner of a design printed on stiff paper. 

“Well, my da-ge managed to snag his brother in a week so I don’t see why you couldn’t do the same.” Wei Wuxian feels like she should be kind of offended by that. Nie Mingjue isn’t exactly the romantic type. He snickers at the thought of Mingjue doing something sappy and romantic. “Though admittedly that Lan Wangji looks kind of like a stick is up his ass into his brain.” 

Wei Wuxian sighs, another dreamy sigh, “Yeah, he does.” Nie Huaisang rolls his eyes and shoves him. “Hey!” 

“Yes, yes, let’s just get this cleaned up so you can take A-Yuan home. Isn’t it spaghetti night?” It’s a wonder that Nie Huaisang remembers these facts when Wei Wuxian doesn’t, and it’s his own goddamn schedule! “And I bet Wen Qing asked you to get something from the store.” Bullseye. 

Wei Wuxian lifts up the mop and turns the wet end towards a scandalized Nie Huaisang, who books it quick next to A-Yuan, leaning over dramatically and loudly saying, “A-Yuan! Save me! Your Xian-gege is being mean to me!” Which leads to A-Yuan standing between him and the mop, arms outstretched and a pouty look on his face.

“No being mean Xian-gege!” Nie Huaisang sticks out his tongue at him and it takes all of Wei Wuxian’s meager self control not to smack him in the head with the mop. “Xian-gege!” He looks down at A-Yuan who’s making the hands to be picked up gesture. “Can we go home yet?” 

“In a sec bud.” Wei Wuxian finishes the mopping at lightning speed and shoves all the supplies away before scooping up A-Yuan who shrieks with joy. “Huaisang, are you going to come over for dinner or are you gonna go moon over Jiang Cheng?” For his credit, Nie Huaisang only sputters a little bit. 

In the end they split ways, though Nie Huaisang promises to stop by later that night for late night baking. A-Yuan gives Sang-gege a big hug goodbye and then they’re off, walking down the bustling street to the local market to get some milk and some tiramisu for Wen Qing. 

“Wei-gongzi!” Ah, Wen Ning, right on time by the radishes. It’s like the Wen siblings have a sixth sense for where exactly Wei Wuxian is going to be. It’s kind of uncanny. “Wei-gongzi! A-Yuan!” Wen Ning skids to a stop just before them, his backpack looking dangerously full to be running like that. 

“Wen Ning, what’s up? Why the rush?” Wei Wuxian leans against the little race car cart they got where A-Yuan sits and fake honks at people passing by. The car contains the long awaited milk, a whole tiramisu cake, some vegetables of varying colors, and right now Wei Wuxian is debating adding radishes or not. He doesn’t particularly like them but Wen Qing and A-Yuan do so he shrugs and takes one, plopping it in as Wen Ning catches his breath. 

“Oh! Uh, well I just didn’t want to miss you guys.” Wen Ning readjusts his load and stands tall (or not that tall) with a grin. “Plus today’s spaghetti night and I brought,” he lowers his voice, “the good stuff.” Wei Wuxian flings an arm over his shoulders and pulls him close, with which Wen Ning takes squeaking.

“Wen Ning, you sir, are the light of my life, my beloved little brother.” Wen Ning flushes and scrambles. 

“Don’t let Jiang Cheng hear you say that! He’ll have my head.” He can already imagine Jiang Cheng puffing out his chest, face toasted redder than a lobster as he complains about how ungrateful Wei Wuxian is for being adopted into the Jiang family and if he wanted so badly to have Wen Ning as a little brother he should just marry Wen Qing or something! Which Wei Wuxian may have considered at one point in his life but a few caveats to that plan have yet to be solved. Namely Wen Qing being distinctly not into Wei Wuxian (for a variety of reasons she has disclosed many times) and that she wasn’t really all that into men to begin with. But she was a damn good friend and back when they were all worried about getting deported, Wei Wuxian had offered without hesitation to marry Wen Qing and claim Wen Ning as family. Thankfully it hadn’t come to that but he maintains that he would’ve done it anyways.

Besides, they were the ones who introduced him to adorable A-Yuan who, ever since they first met, has always been the first priority in Wei Wuxian’s heart. A-Yuan was Wen Qing’s cousin’s sister’s something or another kid. An orphan. Wei Wuxian knew how dangerous that could be with a kid that young and had called up a lawyer immediately, processing adoption papers faster than anyone thought could be done with that convoluted system. 

Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian wander the grocery store aisles, debating over what type of juice to get (peach in the end) and if they should buy fruit sandwiches or not (they did). They leave with significantly more stuff than they came in with. The only saving grace is that Wei Wuxian’s apartment isn’t too far off, a block and a half. The well lit building greets them with a soft glow.

In the past, Wei Wuxian had lived in some shady ass places. When he first started Yiling Tattoo it was small and struggling. He hadn’t made a name for himself yet and though Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang helped out sometimes, they weren’t mainstays either. It was really just Wei Wuxian busting his ass, churning out designs every day and building up his presence. Infamy some might say, for his policy of never turning down a tattoo request at the time. Obviously he’s developed standards since then but it was rough.

Since he’s gotten A-Yuan though, his life has changed so much. He’s only had A-Yuan officially for around six months now but he hauled his ass out of his old ratty one bedroom apartment and got himself a much nicer one. He and A-Yuan share a room and a queen sized bed but it’s okay because A-Yuan loves sleeping with his Xian-gege. He bought real furniture and tableware instead of keeping his tattered college age couch (that has definitely seen some shit) and eating off paper plates. He learned to cook and bake just for A-Yuan. He has A-Yuan’s doodles posted up on every possible surface along with his own renditions and it’s a beautiful chaotic mural that he’ll hate to take down if he has to move. 

He and Wen Ning kick off their shoes at the entrance and he passes over the groceries to Wen Ning so he can stoop and help A-Yuan with the velcro on his light up sketchers(™). A-Yuan might be a little sleepy but that doesn’t stop him from pulling Wei Wuxian to the living room floor and pulling on his sleeves.

“Ah, don’t worry Wei-gongzi I can start! Let A-Yuan play around with you for a little, he’s been a good boy today.” Wen Ning has the warmest look as A-Yuan echoes his sentiment, pulling hard on Wei Wuxian’s sleeves as he breaks out his markers with one hand as best as he can. 

Of course Wei Wuxian caves, sitting down and shedding his jacket, exposing lines and lines of black that course up his arms in every which way. His entire left arm is filled pretty much with doodles from when Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang were practicing designs on skin for the first time. He had liked the marker drawings so much that he asked them to tattoo him right there and then and they, surprised, had agreed. His right arm is a bit more symbolic, with tattoos designed by Wen Ning and Wen Qing and reflecting all the events in his life. He likes to reminisce over them to remind himself of where he came from, how lucky he has been his whole life. He’ll tell them to A-Yuan as bedtime stories, building nostalgic memories in his heart and maybe instilling them in that curious mind too. 

He leans against the couch and turns on some music, something quieter to fit the cozy atmosphere. He settles on lo-fi versions of classics, starting with put your head on my shoulder. Wen Ning hums quietly along as A-Yuan colors in flowers and mountains from Huaisang, colors in lotus flowers and dragons from Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian must have dozed off because the next thing he knows is Wen Qing knocking on the door and being let in by her brother. She looks tired but satisfied so the meeting probably went well enough. She sets her bags at the dining table and ties up her hair, quietly speaking with Wen Ning. Though she shoots a look at Wei Wuxian, it softens when she sees him colored up and down by A-Yuan, who is currently filling in storm clouds in shades of pale pink and baby blue. He raises a hand in apology, knowing he should be helping with dinner but he can’t bear to pull away. Wen Qing, in all her patience, understands and waves him off. 

There’s tiramisu in the fridge. He mouths at her and she laughs, a sound of chimes and bells. Wei Wuxian looks over the scene and thinks ah, I am blessed. It’s a good day and he can’t be more thankful for it. 

-------------

Lan Wangji is not having a good day. 

It had started with a slightly out of place morning. Waking up at 5am was normal but for some reason, he had woken up closer to 5:30 and that was already no good. Lan Wangji prided himself on having a set morning routine, starting with an hour of meditation and stretching before making a light breakfast and packing up all his items for the day. Sometimes, if he felt particularly inclined, he might also make something extra for lunch besides the night before leftovers. But since he woke up late, that meant he had to cut his meditation time and it left him feeling irritable at best.

He had nearly forgotten one of his musical scores and had to turn back on the way down the stairs to get them, leading him to quicken his pace. And by some cruel twist of fate, someone had rudely body slammed him, sending his papers everywhere. 

Lan Wangji is strong. He has always believed that a healthy spirit lies in a healthy body. Thus, he was also mildly surprised, among his annoyance, that this other person had managed to topple him at all. If he studied physics perhaps he’d understand how that worked but regardless, he had been stuck picking up his musical scores and trying to avoid having people step on them and his fingers as he did so. He hadn’t even been listening to the other man’s babbling until they had looked up and fallen silent. “Holy shit, you’re so fucking cute.”

Lan Wangji had looked up too and been met with stormy grey eyes, wide with awe. Ruffled hair quickly slung into a low, short ponytail that exposed his pierced ears, silver and black glinting in the mid morning sun. A pair of lip piercings too, on the left bottom lip. If he squints a little, he swears he can see a silver ball on the other’s tongue. His ears burn as he averts his gaze down, which wasn’t the smartest thing he’s ever done. He’s met with a solid chest and lithe arms and rough hands. Rough hands holding his music scores. In a mess. 

All of a sudden, any… Well, whatever that feeling was is gone. It’s replaced with disdain as Lan Wangji snatches up the sheets and storms off, throwing a harsh shameless in his wake. 

Yeah, today’s not a good day. 

Lan Wangji makes it to his class with time to spare, which gives him time to calm himself. He brushes through his hair with his hands, quietly musing that he needs a haircut soon. It’s getting long and he might need to tie it up soon, just like that man from the morning. With another flush, Lan Wangji shakes his head and shoos those thoughts again. After all, it’s not like he’ll ever meet him again right?

It takes a special kind of luck for this to happen,  he’s sure of it. He had gone home after lunch, spending the afternoon practicing in his guqin in his apartment. Each note plucked methodically, clearly. The silence between speaking volumes. His brother had knocked on his door later, when the sun was just beginning to cast it’s glow across the cityscape. 

“Wangji, come with us.” Lan Xichen’s tone, while gentle, brooks no argument and Wangji sighs, throwing on his Gusu coat before heading out. 

“Where?” Lan Xichen has gotten very accustomed to his younger brother’s monosyllabic conversational skills but he doesn’t seem inclined to answer in a fruitful manner.

“You’ll see.” Lan Wangji just sighs quietly and trails after the gaggle that is Lan Xichen followed closely by Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao. Originally, Xichen and Wangji had moved into the same apartment together. Xichen had, of course, gone around greeting the neighbors and had apparently met, liked, and essentially moved into Nie Mingjue’s apartment, leaving Wangji alone in their own. Not that he minded necessarily, since his brother would still return and sleep at their own place sometimes. They cooked together in the evenings and both Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao were frequent guests. At one point, Mingjue had even offered to have the brothers move in, as his apartment was one of those three bedroom ones. But Wangji had declined, citing his need for his own space. Xichen on the other hand, had decided to have it both ways, spending most of his time at Mingjue’s place but still remaining on the lease and paying rent at his own apartment, used mostly as a workspace now. 

It’s not that convoluted a story but Wangji finds himself lost in the process somehow, and of course Xichen isn’t going to reveal anything. So Wangji just doesn’t bother asking. If his brother is safe and happy then that’s enough.

His thoughts dance around that particular subject until he bumps right into Nie Mingjue’s solid back, taking a few steps back with a quiet apology. Mingjue accepts it with a wave of his hand and Wangji looks up to see where they are, only to be met with bright red text that reads Yiling Tattoo. 

Huh?

Lan Xichen does not hesitate to step inside and neither do his two lovers. Wangji is left outside alone momentarily, senses assaulted with… Actually, nothing bad at all? It smells disinfected mostly though the front waiting area does smell more human. The music that plays is not blaring rock and roll or metal, rather a happier style of indie/alternative that Wangji doesn’t mind. As he steps inside and towards the counter, he marvels at the sheer number of stunning designs that cover every inch of the walls, from the simplest infinity symbols to the large dragons that soar across to the delicate dancing, laughing fairies. It’s beautiful. So caught up with studying every design, in fact, Wangji doesn’t notice who’s at the counter itself until he hears a book slam and turns his head to be faced with that very man who ran into him that morning. 

Said man has shed his jacket, revealing art inked all over his arms and neck. Wangji wonders briefly what it might look like across the rest of his skin. He’s got a… seductive, for lack of better wording, smirk and his eyes dance with a kind of hunger that makes Wangji want to step back. “So, what’s a beauty like you doing here?” 

Lan Wangji knows his ears are burning and it’s all he can do to keep it from invading his cheeks. He scours his brain for an answer of some kind, feeling annoyance at how forward this man is but also some kind of molten heat he can’t describe. His brother, of course, saves him again with that sharp smile of his. An appointment, with Wei Wuxian. It takes a moment for him to process what he’s heard and his eyes widen fractionally as he glances at his brother’s back.

Xichen is getting a tattoo? No way, uncle would absolutely have his head if he did that. But then… Why would they be here? 

Wei Wuxian is gesturing for them to follow and though Wangji doesn’t necessarily feel like he should, he gets a light tug on his sleeve from his brother as they begin to walk back. Whatever silliness in Wei Wuxian’s demeanor has vanished, replaced with an easy going professionalism and pride. 

The shop is beautiful, just like the front. Clean, ordered in different work stations. Wangji’s eyes flit back and forth, taking in the rows of inks that sit on Jiang Cheng’s table and watching as Nie Huaisang finishes a touch-up with a smile. The back room is well lit though the walls are more black than white with the sheer number of designs pasted. It must have taken years to amass this collection. 

Wangji takes the seat furthest from the desk, placing his hands on his knees and sitting up straight. He's not particularly listening to the conversation at hand, instead studying the way Wei Wuxian’s hands twirl his pen, how he rests the end on his lip. How he chews on his lip as he’s thinking, brow furrowed in concentration. How his penmanship is atrocious but quick and deft. Watching Wei Wuxian engage in a conversation in his element is an art in and of itself and Lan Wangji finds that he can’t look away.

The consultation must have taken hours but to Wangji it feels like minutes. He notices that Wei Wuxian has a small dark mole on his ear lobe. He notices that Wei Wuxian will stick his tongue out ever so slightly when he draws. He notices that Wei Wuxian doesn’t brush back his hair that has come loose from his ponytail. And Wangji finds that he wants to reach out and brush it back himself. 

Seeing the design drawn up is a process no less stunning than when Wangji is composing music. And just like any artist, Wei Wuxian presents it with pride. Wangji is no fool, he knows beauty when he sees it. He inhales sharply, eyes tracing the carefully painted flames. How Wei Wuxian managed that with a ballpoint pen is far beyond him but it looks like they were painted with an ink brush, licking towards the edges of the page. The moon peeks out behind darkly shaded clouds, an illusionary glow seeming to shine from the paper. And the flowers, so delicate, blossom right before Wangji’s eyes, swaying in the wind that feeds the flames and moves the cloud. It’s a living art piece. It’s beautiful. 

Wangji is shaken out of his reverie by the sound of the printer and though he knows that his expression likely has not changed during this, he wonders why Wei Wuxian stares at him with the intensity of the sun. The forms are signed, the meeting wrapped up and Wangji stand with slightly stiff knees, from tensing up the whole meeting. He hadn’t even noticed. 

Exiting the backroom reveals a much quieter space with many patrons gone. They make their way back to the counter with Mianmian pulling up a schedule and asking for their availability. Jin Guangyao answers quietly while Xichen pays and Wangji is once again startled when he hears his own name, his brother gesturing at him. Emotional support. Wangji chokes on air and only just manages to not send a scathing glare at his brother. 

Wei Wuxian smirks (dear god) and says something in that purr of his and Wangji blushes despite himself. He throws another shameless out and turns, striding out with his heart beating erratically. Xichen isn’t too far behind and he’s laughing, laughing. The audacity of it. 

“Well, Wangji, it seems like you might be seeing more of him after all.” Wangji jerks his shoulder away from his brother’s touch, fuming quietly. 

The rest of the night is just as slightly off as the morning. He ends up taking his dinner late, leading to something less nutritious than usual  being made. He doesn’t take his usual thirty minute meditation break before starting work and that makes his brain feel like a hive of bees. He makes a third mistake on his guqin and his entire body decides, that’s it for the night. Nothing is working as it should be. As Wangji slides the guqin into its case carefully, tucks away his sheets into their proper folders, he laments those thirty minutes that he had somehow slept through. A small part of his mind whispers, ah but you would not have met him had you woken up like usual. And Wangji sighs, puts his head down on the table, and grips his hands into fists. 

This is ridiculous. He’s being ridiculous. And yet all he can hear is a quiet so, what’s a beauty like you doing here?
