More rocks...
Question: What do you do next?
Response: North side. I can explain away my presence at the platform easier tomorrow.
Check notes for previous instalments
You stare at the clouds passing overhead as you think of what to do. You don't want trouble for Deema or yourself so as tempting as the platform is, you decide to play it safe and avoid it for now.
You stand up and swing your empty bag over your shoulder with a sigh. The few people who pass you on your way back to the cottage barely spare you a glance.
Deema's flipping through a book when you open the front door.
'I didn't go all the way to the platform,' you say. 'Figured I'm less likely to be seen if I leave it for now and start at the north side.'
Deema snaps her book shut and turns her face to the ceiling. The expression on her face is the same one she wore when you asked about permits. 'You could have lied about it being for something else. They don't know what sigils do.'
'Oh. Well. Okay.' You self-consciously rub the back of your neck.
'I'm keeping some of the rocks. The rest are still in the garden. Bring your paint with you and make the other sigils on site.'
'What are you going to do with them?' you ask suspiciously.
She opens her book. 'Don't worry about it.'
'Alright. Have fun with them, I guess.'
Deema's taken most of the remaining rocks inside. You're able to comfortably fit the last ones in your bag along with your paint, but as soon as you stand up with it you regret your decision.
The walk to the north side of town isn't very far, but you've spent more time carrying rocks than you usually do and your bag's straps dig into your shoulders. You're only glad it's not a hot day.
You spend the rest of the day working your way across the north side of town, pausing much more frequently to find and paint rocks in the dimming light. No-one's around to interrupt you and you only stop when the light's too dim to paint.
You've covered less ground than you did at the south side of town, but you can't bring yourself to care just yet. For now you lie down outside of a hexagon with your bag under your head and your fingertips touching a stone.
The faint heat radiating off the rock is pleasant and the air feels much less sticky outside of the hexagon than inside. You stare up at the clouds again; they barely look heavy enough to rain but you know that'll change when you seed them tomorrow.

HQ BOYS AS YOUR S/O—WHAT I IMAGINE THEIR INSTAGRAM WOULD BE LIKE
synopsis. hq! boys using instagram but they're down bad for you
ft. hinata shoyo, tsukishima kei, suna rintarou, kenma kozume
others. character! is aged up, hq timeskip! era
notes. idk i feel like this could be better but I'm too lazy to be bothered. this is just a silly little thought while i was drinking tea 😌
[ masterlist ]
Tumblr media
HINATA SHOYO would post you a lot. He definitely has you on his profile picture; either it's your solo picture or a picture of you and him. His posts would only consist of four things: you, volleyball, his friend's, and himself (occasionally)—but there's more pictures of you in it than the three mentioned. His fans teases him and says that his account basically turned into a fan page of you. His bio would be in between something so sweet or so cheesy. He'll probably have a corny quote.
“Romance is icing, but the love is the cake—@your_username”
“my love: @your_username”
“My sunshine forever & always @your_username”
Tumblr media
TSUKISHIMA KEI rarely posts you. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that. . . He likes having his privacy with you. but when he does post you, his fans go berserk. It's a rare opportunity for him to post you (I strongly believe he'd post you in special occasions; like anniversaries, special holidays (if you celebrate), or winning his games), so of course, everyone will have a field day about it. And when he posts you it's not just a simple picture, he'd have a full on note for you.
“Thank you @your_username for everything you do for me—for all the support you give me whether it may be coming to my games, cooking me good food, saying the exact words I need to hear, or even simply just your presence by my side. Thank you for being with me through everything. This 3rd year anniversary won't definitely be the last anniversary we'll celebrate—so here's to more love that I'll give you, pipsqueak. I love you always.”
Tumblr media
SUNA RINTAROU post you way too much. He'd have at least five highlights about you; one for his favorite pictures of you, one for him and you, one for your unflattering pictures, one for very special occasions that he's with you, and one for videos he took of you. And he doesn't just post you on his stories, he also has tons of pictures of you on his main post. If hinata has three things he post, well, suna only has you on his instagram. People often mistake his account for your account because of how much pictures you have in it.
“Café hopping with @your_username”
“She said that I should post this picture of her @your_username”
“Idk who this person is, do you? @your_username?” (*but his post is literally you)
Tumblr media
KENMA KOZUME posts (sometimes) whenever he feels like it. he just generally doesn't post a lot. But he posts about you on random occasions. mostly post dumps about you, like what he did in a month with you. Or simply just random pictures of you (some unflattering and some aesthetically pleasing). And he posts with no caption, just you and your @. his fans are basically dehydrated from pictures of the two of you, so they also have a field day whenever he post about you. I'm pretty sure it'd even go trending on twt (x) at least once or twice.
“🤍 @your_username”
“out & about w/ @your_username”
“ily @your_username”

Romantic reader x Bianca please I simp for her so bad and it is so hard to find anything with her, so I would hereby formally like to request some reader x Bianca fluff please, thank you 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
I agree, we need more blackgirl love on this platform!
My Pearl 🔵
Tumblr media
Warning: None this is fluffy fluff
Pairing: fem! Reader x Bianca
AN: This makes me smile :)
You drifted through the hallways like water, walking with fluidity while humming to yourself. Today was a good day. You weren't sure why it was, but it was. You woke up happy and seemed to project that happiness onto those around you. A small smile graced your features as you broke into the quad eyes searching for the one person you longed to see daily. You adjusted your uniform, determined to look your best before continuing towards the siren table. The aquatic creatures, while still standoffish, tolerated your pressence. You weren't one of them but your water abilities made you close enough. Today you were determined to take the next step with Bianca. Your relationship was moving slow her previous one with Xavier leaving her with some emotional scaring. You'd longed to kiss her from the day you met, and four months ago when your friendship progressed to something more, you thought you'd finally get to. But that wasn't the case. After Xavier's claim that she used her siren song to get him to like her, she second guessed every relationship she had, including yours.
Though she still wore the necklace, she questioned everything you did and said unsure if it was really you or really who she wanted you to be. You verbally reassured her every day, but waiting on her to make a move was beginning to become like waiting on Wednesday to apologize. It's just not gonna happen. So now you wiggled happily in your seat, waiting eagerly for Bianca to appear after class. You planned it all in your head. A romantic walk to the lake ending with a light kiss on the lips so that she may finally understand you're serious about her. You didn't have to wait long the siren appearing at your side after a few short minutes.
"Hey babe."
You said with excitement popping up from your seat.
"Hey (Y/N)."
She said with a soft smile. The use of your name didn't bother you she hadn't returned the term of endearment yet and you didn't expect her to now.
"Take a walk with me down to the lake?"
You asked shinning your bright smile, you knew it was a bit spontaneous but she'd yet to say no to any of your request previously.
"Sure."
She threw her backpack over her shoulder as you linked your hand in hers. Once you were out of the quad away from all the noise you hummed contently.
"How was your day?"
"Fine, I managed to beat Wednesday in fencing class once again."
Bianca said with a proud smile. You didn't understand her and Wednesday's rivalry, but you didn't second guess it. It was something that brought her joy, so that brought you joy. You squeezed her hand.
"Congratulations, babe!"
"How was your day?"
Bianca asked, shining the same soft smile she reserved for only you.
"It was good, I finished sculpting today. I can't wait for you to see it. It's not my traditional work, I decided to go with something more abstract it was a challenge, but I hope it turned out well."
Bianca couldn't help but stare as you rambled on. You were beautiful enigma. She didn't understand what you saw in her, still wasn't sure if you saw anything at all but she was happy to have you by her side now in this moment. The remainder of the walk consisted of small talk about your art and the race across the lake coming up that Bianca was determined to win this year. By the time you arrived at the water front it seemed time had flown by.
"So why'd you want to come down here? Training your ability?"
You hummed shaking your head.
"Yes but no I wanted to talk privately."
"O- Kay."
Bianca said an uncomfortable nervous feeling settling in her stomach.
"Bianca... I really like you"
"Here comes that but... are you breaking up with me?"
You blanched.
"What? No! Sorry, I didn't realize how that sounded. I just want you to know I'm serious about us. This isn't your mind playing tricks and I'm not under the influence of your siren song. I truly want there to be an 'us' for a long time so I hope you feel the same way."
Before you could second guess, you leaned in lightly placing your lips against hers in a soft kiss. You weren't surprised when she didn't return it likely catching her off guard, and you didn't hold it long not wanting her to be uncomfortable. When you pulled back you smiled bright at her.
"Okay now I'm gonna practice, you don't have to...."
Before you could finish, Bianca pulled you into another soft kiss one you happily returned wrapping your arms around her neck and once she pulled back she laid her head against yours.
"I want there to be an 'us' for a long time too."
Smiling as you closed your eyes embracing this moment you let go of a content sigh.
"Good."

So I've finally finished Bloodhounds (+ ahjussi collection)
...and I have no idea where to start and what to say and how to feel.
Tumblr media
No, wait, please hear me out.
It was b l o o d y and at parts a very difficult watch, as it has lots of explicit fighting scenes, which look extremely realistic and cruel. So cruel that I had to close my eyes and not watch, I even skipped many & i'm not sorry. However, there are also parts so heartwarming that it makes you forget about all the crimes and gore for a moment. So, it's up to you to decide if it's worth the struggle. Since the violence could be a bit too much for many, let's just say I do and don't recommend this one at the same time. Personally, one of things I greatly enjoyed is the subtle comic tone of Gun-woo's and Woo-jin's interactions with each other and their characters which represent people doing sports professionally so well, the purity of their hearts and lack of malice in everything they do, since they truly do live for the sports. Then there are two absolutely powerful and skillful young women, Hyeong-ju and Da-min, playing such important roles in the entire series, each of them individually contributing so much to the entire plan of bringing the bad guys down and saving what could still be saved. And also, one of the most enjoyable parts were definitely the bonds that came out of these newly formed friendships. Younger acting crew did an amazing job. In comparison to the older and experienced ahjussi crew (I'll get to them in a bit), they've got some serious talent. It must have been a huge undertake for both Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi to live up to the expectations of the entire team behind this drama. And they did it. They absolutelly slayed.
Tumblr media
If you still haven't watched this drama, trust me when I say these two cinnamon rolls will instantly win your heart right at the beginning of the first episode. They're like the most perfect two besties you'd want to be besties with too. And yeah, you'll suffer thru all the horrors just to see them win the biggest battle of their lives. Gosh, every time I tried typing something coherent about them it just ended up being lots of crying shaking throwing up. They're the best, ok? And this is best I can do. ╥﹏╥
And while our marine boys scratched so many itches around this platform, I have to mention the absolute gentlemen that starred in this series and swept me off my feet *deepest sigh ever*
So many great actors took part in Bloodhounds, it's hard to believe my own eyes at times. Whoever was in charge of the casting did a killer job. I couldn't even take the bad guys seriously because they're freakishly handsome. Well, at least not until Kim Myung-gil brutally ended my favourite ahjussi trio damn you ep 6
What started as an obsession over two young marine guys and their bromance ended up as a hole in my heart over downfall of three middle aged criminals men and a will to trade all the money and gold bars for their lives. And more importantly, a huge appreciation for Korean actors over the age of 40.
No, let's be real. They're handsome and talented and great at their job and deserve all the love and support. With that in mind... here's a tiny screenshot dump because it would be a shame not to post it:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I want to be normal about them and move on in peace but *internal screams* I've already mentioned Lee Hae-young in one of my earlier posts, addressing my obsession with the character he portrays, the sushi restaurant owner Hwang Yang-jung. And I know many people are obsessed with him too. But no one is speaking up. Which is silly. And tbh I really thought there would be more gifs of him and other men but...there's close to none? Can we talk about how fine this man is? How fine this whole ahjussi crew is? Can we... can we just acknowledge they sliced us all in tiniest pieces possible and burned us all till we turned into charcoal? Can we make a mess of kdrama side of tumblr by excessively posting about them? Pretty please?
It's true, I came for the boys, but stayed for these men. I'm not even joking when I say kdrama has me in a chokehold again, but this time for a whole new reason. Dropping everything just to watch series and movies these guys took part in sounds like the best idea at the moment. I even forgot about the new releases I started watching, which makes me laugh at myself, but... it is what it is. At some point, a girl just has to obsess over her favourite ahjussi, and that's okay.

Bruised Waynes
Part One Part Two
Inspired by this post from @sepia-stained-sunset
Pairing- (GEN) Bruce Wayne and His Kids
The one where his kids drive him insane.
The streets were lively today but it was Gotham, no calm nights existed. The rumble of an engine filled the cave as the Batmobile slid into its place. The driver’s side opened and two figures tumbled out.
“Father, that fiend deserved death at my blade.”
“Robin. The criminals deserve a second chance, your personal opinions should not dictate who lives and dies.”
“Tsk.” Damian stormed off, likely to complain to Alfred.
Bruce slid the cowl off his face and rubbed his eyes fiercely. He sat down in front of the Batcomputer, chair creaking under his weight. The nights seemed to get longer the older he got. If only raising children was as easy as defeating the latest villain. His thoughts were interrupted by a light ping. 
Update to the Medical File- 
Nightwing: two weeks 😅
Bruce’s heart clenched. What injury would take Dick that long to heal? He flicked through the tabs, opening the comm line to his son. He had to stay calm.
Click.
“Champ, report.”
“Ghauuh, I tore my hamstring doing squats.”
He signed. “Put some ice on it, and come to the manor for a checkup from Agent A.” Bruce leaned back in his chair, “And use the medical file correctly.”
“What, you said in more detail so I added an emoji.”
“That's- ok fine, I’m proud of you son.”
Click.
-
Batman was the night. He was terror. The dark knight of Gotham. Currently, the said dark knight is attempting to stop the Condiment King. 
"The big bad Bat-guy. I knew you'd ketchup to me sooner or later. How I relished this meeting. Come, Batman. Let's see if you can cut the mustard." 
Ping! Bruce would recognize the sound anywhere. Instantly, he flipped behind Condiment King- god that’s a horrible name-, picking him up by the scruff of his neck. 
“You’ve done enough damage, Standler.” He growled. Grabbing one of the man’s wrist, he handcuffed it to the kiosk of the terrorized restaurant. 
A man crouched behind the counter rose up. “Thank you Batman, you saved my restaurant.” 
Batman was nowhere to be found. 
Well, no one would find him on the rooftop.
Update to the Medical File- 
Red Hood: stabbed. 
“Oracle, alert the GCPD that Condiment King was apprehended. Connect me to Red Hood.” Batman spoke into the empty air. He heard his comm crackle only a few seconds later.
Click.
“Talk to be Jaylad, where did you get stabbed.”
“Kinda busy here, B. Kori just started another bar fight.”
“Jason, I need to know how injured you are.”
“We’re winning, if you care. Toodle-o, Pops” 
Click.
Bruce stared down at the city in frustration. Why were his children like this? He sighed and radioed in for Alfred to prepare his aspirin. Not that any medicine would help, his tolerance had long required enough tranquilizer for a rhino. 
-
Update to the Medical File- 
Red Robin: hand =͟͟͞͞( •̀д•́)))
Bruce rubbed his eyebrows, looking down at the notification. He was sure that Tim was in the manor. In fact, as he opened his window he could hear two voices yelling in the yard below.
“Your cow BIT ME.”
“Tch, it was your fault, Drake. She was only protecting her master.”
“Protecting you?” Tim scoffed, “You're the menace here, no one else in this city wears platform crocs.”
Bruce peered below to confirm that yes, Damian was indeed taller than usual. 
“I’ll have you know that these are designer!” Damian pulled a knife out of his pants, only to get toppled over with a push. 
Bruce slowly closed the window. What he didn’t see wasn't his problem. 
Ping!
Update to the Medical File- 
Robin: avenged.
-
The halls of the Justice League overlooked the vastness of Earth. Batman glowered out the window while Signal looked around in awe. These meetings could be a business email, but Alfred had wanted him to ‘socialize’. Behind him, Superman would fall for a prank from Hal Jordan again. 
“Psst, B, can you introduce me to Wonder Woman?”
“Hgnh.” Better Diana than Clark at least. Bruce motioned for Duke to follow, leading him to Green Arrow and Wonder Woman talking about their weekend. He nodded at them. “This is my new protege, The Signal.”
Green Arrow stroked his goatee, “Geez, where do you get these kids?”
“...aren't you Oliver Queen?” 
“TELL YOUR KIDS TO STOP EXPOSING ME!”
Ping!
Update to the Medical File- 
The Signal: mentally scarred
If anyone saw Batman’s lips quirk up, they certainly wouldn't say anything. 
-
Neither of them could be seen against the pitch black of Gotham’s skyline. Batman and Orphan stood silently, overlooking the city. Orphan tilted her head, nudging to the right. 
“What is it, Orphan.” Batman growled. 
She didn't respond, electing to jump down the side of the building. 
Batman followed, looking around he saw her with her hand down a street gutter. He pinched his nose bridge, Agent A would scold both of them later. As he got closer, he could hear a faint mewing from the street gutter, and he watched as Cassandra scooped a tiny black kitten. He kneeled down beside her carefully.
“This is the sign for cat.” Using both hands he pinched his index and thumb together by the side of each cheek.
Putting the kitten in her lap, she mimicked the sign.
“It looks like he needs a home. Catwoman will be glad to foster him.”
Cass shook her head. “Cat Alfred…needs Cat Bruce.”
“Eta back to the cave in seven minutes.” Bruce sighed. 
He could tell she was beaming behind the mask.
Ping! 
Update to the Medical File- Orphan: image.png 🐈‍⬛

my 2 cents (of someone who does not and will not interact with the fandom in other social media platforms) is that it's been way too long.
At this point making jemily canon would take a lot of work-around (specially on JJ's end, considering last season's plot with Will, a divorce right now would be so weird! And a death storyline would be.... bad taste). And is it really necessary?
Think about Jeid. I don't know a single person who thought that storyline was well done or even necessary. And they are one of the most (if not the most) popular ship in this show.
We don't actually need a romantic storyline. We got a love confession - albeit a platonic one - and it was so fucking good!!!!! Come on, they don't need to make it canon - they just got to make their relationship good in the show (like the way it was before you know?! none of this them not talking to each other and not being honest with each other, and it seems like they're on the path of making that real again)
What the fandom creates is more than enough. What the fandom creates is better than anything they could make in canon anyways.
We got canon recognizing that they love each other (I'm choosing to believe it's queerplatonic in canon, I'm taking that as a enormous win for me o/)
also we just got Tara to be openly queer. Which was also a big fucking win for us (everybody say thank you Aisha Tyler)! They're not making all the other woman in the show openly queer, specially not JJ. Even though, I still think the entire team should be a polycule at this point. Those idiots clearly love each other so much!!!
Also stop pestering actors for it!!!!! You should only talk to actors to praise their work, or say they look beautiful, idk. Specially in this show, specially Paget and AJ, like they've had so much shit, no one would ever blame them for wanting to leave this show behind and they haven't done it!!!! so be thankful for that and stop being assholes to them.

Candy Smokes and TEN Cent Cokes
Just whipsawing through it, aren't we? At least we're on time this go about.
youtube
i cannot tell you how palpable my disappointment this wasn't an LBP-tone version of Megdeth's Symphony of Destruction. Which isn't even their best song (i'm fond of Kill the King, but Polaris is pretty darn good. Dawn Patrol for getting a chance to hear asshole Mustaine squeak like a rat), but it still would have been neat. i don't know why, of all the musicians i've stopped listening to because their personal assholery started to outweigh the enjoyment their music brought, Megadeth should slip through the loophole. Like, Mustaine is a certified douchebag, but i'll almost always be down when they show up on random. Weird. The level? Honestly, the level's kind of pants. i mean, i appreciate the work that went into it; but it's pretty drab, and everything being so big, you don't get to really get a feel for running around on sheet music. It's not a bad level, it's just kinda there.
youtube
We talked about this last week, and it continues to be great. Picked up a Team Pick, which was no surprise at all. Definitely well deserved.
youtube
Exactly what it says on the tin. Low stress, high charm environment. Largely simple gameplay in almost a vignette, minigame style, which is pretty fitting for a fairground setting. i had a lot of fun here, but i feel like it would have been an even better time wiv a party of four. Playing by myself and it did start to feel like it was dragging on just a little bit. The downside of the start-stop action that the format demands. Still, i could definitely recommend this one.
youtube
This was actually fairly effective for LBP1-era horror. A lot of work went into making the environment actually function as an environment, instead of something kludgy and slapdash. It wasn't scary, by any means, but it was definitely very cool. The first time i played through, i didn't realize you could save the patient in the operating room until just after they cacked it. So i had to go through a second time, and lost out on my Ace on account of knives in LBP having silly-ass hurtboxes. Ah well, you win some, you lose some, and at least the patient survived. We should all be so lucky.
youtube
Oh my gosh, this level gave me so much trouble to get recorded. It was at the height of the most recent round of server trouble, and the dang thing just did not want to load, and when i finally did get it to run, there was a lot of lag in there making the experience more frustrating than it probably ought to have been. In slight fairness to the servers, i have the feeling this one would have chugged a bit even at the best of times, there's a lot going on in here, and i have to imagine it was a bear on the thermo. Still, it's really an impressive bit of kit. The upwards navigation could be a little fiddly at times, but i really appreciated how the whole thing fits together. i'm still a bit wilded by the stained glass windows. i've no idea how Stellakris got those in there.
youtube
Cute and clever, if a little bit frustrating, flat world sets up an old-school 2d platformer, and mostly manages to pull it off. The way they had it set-up, where you're basically in a styrofoam box wiv a button on the top, so when you jump, your character "jumps" too (most likely, the button is run into a piston attached to the styrofoam) was really cool. Unfortunately, the level never tells you that's how it's working, so i could see folx getting to the end, and not seeing how to trigger the scoreboard. You're just supposed to walk forward in layer, but i'd have had no idea if i hadn't thought to do a zoom-in wiv the costume camera. A little better communication wiv the player would probably have helped.
youtube
There's not really a lot to say about this one. It's fun, i can definitely give it that. Would be more fun wiv another couple of players, but a lot of LBP1 levels are like that. The conceit is well set up as well, like they've actually built in the lodges and lifts and all, instead of just giving you a huge slope and a couple of boards. Straight-forward and fun, and sometimes that's all you really need.
youtube
Oh my gosh, this one is so good tho'! Really manages to nail the feel and look of LBP1 level design, not just in presentation (tho' that's fantastic), but in the way a lot of the logic is right there on display for anyone to figure out and use themselves. That's an aspect of the first game that got lost once we moved to more abstract logic tools and microchips to put them in. As much as i love the freedom logic provides from LBP2 on, there's something just nifty as hell to see someone showing their work. The only thing i might call out as a negative here is the level is just a bit too much of a good thing. Like, all of it is great, but it is very le chonk, and it starts to wear on a bit by the end. i've noticed that in a few of Joja28's levels, so it seems to be a creator tic. i can get the feeling, tho'. You've got a ton of ideas, and they all fit a particular theme, and so you cram the whole lot in until it's fit to burst.
youtube
We talked about this one yesterday, and it is just as amazing now. It is, shockingly, bereft of Team Pick ribbon status, tho'. What the hey, Sumo? You're just leaving good food on the table.
youtube
Woof. This level is... kind of a lot? It wound up being broken, which is a problem. But it also wound up being breakable in two or three spots prior to the final point of failure. The problem being, well, a problem being you've got a couple of spots wiv rockets being thrown at you, which have the side-effect of easily blowing up things the creator probably hadn't intended getting blown up. Like bridges. Ope. Aside from that it's alright. The Gardens 2.0 is always a take i'm interested in seeing, and the idea that things have gotten worse, making the course more difficult is fun. The level kind of sticks to that theme, and there are definitely spots you could point to and say "oh yeah, that bit," before it goes haring off on its own merry way. i wonder if i would have had a better impression of it had i played it closer to release, and in its native environment.
---------------------------------------------- So that's another TEN down. Actually a pretty solid set, and i'd say you could take most of them and put them in your own playlist for an evening in LBP3. i mean you could if we still had lbp.me, i'm never not going to be salty we lost that resource just because someone got their boxers in a bunch and wanted to be a whole jackass.
My vacation's almost over which is fine, i guess? i really need to develop some kind of meatspace life that isn't defined by work, so that when i have actual time off, it doesn't feel so drifty and listless. It only occurred to me after it'd started that had i planned things a little better, i could have set aside a couple-k yen and gone down to Osaka to chill out for a few days. See some friends, hang out in Triangle Park, sleep on the cheap at netcafes. Missed opportunities.

Sister
FFxivWrite2024 Day 27 Prompt: Memory
Tumblr media
*zelink crossover*
Link and Zelda stepped down from the platform surrounding the Gridanian Aetheryte and both smiled as they saw a pair of Hyuran children run past. They bolted toward the Carpenters Guild and then to the Acorn Orchard behind. As they reached the Orchard the young girl behind the boy tripped and fell letting out a wail. The boy immediately slid to a halt and rushed back to her calling, "Gytha ye ok?"
She looked at the boy and sniveled, "No my knee it hurts,"
"Lemme have a look," he said gently taking her knee and looking at it. There was a small gash where the stones in the dirt had scraped it a bit but otherwise didn't seem too bad. The boy gave a grin and said, "Its gonna be fine little scrape nothing to get o upset for."
At that Link felt a sharp pain lance through his head and he stopped clutching it for a moment doing his best not to curse. This wasn't the Echo that had an ironically gentler onset with it being a pounding headache before. This was one of his old memories from pre Calamity returning. Zelda and the Sheikah had determined that it was a lasting effect from the Shrine of Resurrection. As his vision whited out he saw the kids move toward them.
He then found himself staring at the Ranch in Central Hyrule. But it wasn't as he last saw it. The stable and house were fully built and while showing wear of time not burnt out or damaged. Ahead was the paddock full of horses grazing and the track surrounding it with a pair of Hylian children racing on foals.
The boy, himself was in the lead looking back at a younger girl who was shouting, "I'm gonna win this time Link,"
"Is that why your so far behind Aryll? Cause seems me and Epona are gonna beat you and Clover there again."
"Not if I can help it!," she shouted as she urged the foal faster the spirited horse decided it had enough and slid to a stop flinging the girl off of its back and fortunately into a pile of nearly haybales.
"Aryll!" Link shouted pulling Epona's reins to stop her before jumping down and running to the now winded crying girl.
She was looking up at him sky blue eyes full of tears and she gasped, "My wrist hurts Link,"
"Here lemme look." he responded gently taking her arm. Fortunately it didn't seem broken, no bones poking out or misaligned there was a bit of a red mark across her wrist that Link suspected came from the reins she had wrapped around her wrists. As he gently squeezed she gave a cry and he pulled her into a hug saying, "Its gonna be fine Aryll I know it hurts come on lets go into the house." He then helped her up and together they went to the house.
Links vision whited out again and he found himself on his knees in the Orchard tears landing on the leaf strewn dirt in front of him. He heard one of the children ask, "Miss Zelda is he ok?"
"Yes children, this….this is something that happens sometimes…its a bad headache." Zelda responded
Link pushed himself up and quickly scrubbed his face and nodded saying softly, "I'm good kids like Zelda said just a headache. Lingering effects of an old injury."
"Oh so like Mr Wifram then." the young boy responded, "Well I hear his wife tell him when it happens he should get some rest and take medicine. You should too Mr Link."
Link gave the kid a wane smile and nodded giving a wave goodbye before turning toward the Carline Canopy. He heard behind him Zelda quietly say goodbye to the kids then felt her grab his arm asking softly, "Are you alright, I've never seen the onset be this bad…."
He nodded giving her hand a squeeze and saying, "Don't you apologize again for the Shrine, I would have died had they not taken me there. It was a memory from my childhood….Zelda….when we get to the room there's..something I want to ask you."
"Of course, you know I will answer you if I know of it. Your actual childhood I know a little about. I didn't realize the Shrine had taken those too.."
"Not all of them like most of my memories from before its fragmented. This one…this one was from just before I found the Sword."
By this point they had arrived in the Canopy and Zelda secured their rooms and in a few moments they found themselves alone in the room a gentle song playing on the Orchestrion. Zelda swiftly dug through her bags and found the herbs that seemed to have the same soothing effect that the ones the Sheikah had given him back in Hyrule for the headache. As she went about making the tea Link sat on the edge of the bed looking down at his hands trying to see if with this new memory he could recall any more.
Seemed it wasn't to be and he just sighed before asking softly, "Zelda did…you know my little sister Aryll?"
Zelda froze mid work and then looked at him anguish in her eyes, "Had…had you forgotten her?"
Link nodded stating softly, "When the boy said its gonna be fine the memory that returned was of my and Aryll racing at the ranch and she'd gotten thrown…" he frowned for a moment before saying hesitantly, "Her wrist had been sprained by the reins. Mipha had healed her because she had stopped by for a visit…" he then growled as it seemed that was all his fragmented memory was going to allow him to recall.
Zelda set down the pot and came over to him giving him a hug and said softly, "I had only met her a handful of times. When we passed through the ranch on the way to one of the shrines… She…didn't like me much because you had to be with me instead of at home…"
He gave a laugh, "I'm not surprised. I think we were close before I drew the blade. Then we drifted because of training and then traveling…"
Zelda nodded, "Aside from not liking me much she seemed to be a sweet girl. I…wish I knew more Link.."
He just gave her hand a squeeze then said softly, "Finish the tea please this one is bad."
She nodded and then busied herself with finishing the tea as Link stared out the window trying to will his shattered mind to recall the good times with his sister. Not imagine what she and his father went through as the Guardians tore through the Ranch.

Summary: Bucky volunteers to go stop a small time villain, but nothing can prepare him for what exactly he has to deal with. (Bucky x villain!reader, drabble series)
Warnings: cursing, ghosts, frustrated bucky, dramatic reader, rats
Word count: 2.3k
A/N: why did i like this chapter sm someone explain. anyway!! y’all are so passionate about these two i love it mwah
if you have any ideas for future inventions/evil plans, lemme know! i might actually end up using them
here’s my ko-fi if you’d like to support my writing <333
Tumblr media
Previous Part || Series Masterlist
He dislikes the subway. 
Other than his other valid reason to have disdain for trains, the subway is dark, it’s shady and he’s sure he’s seen rodents fight to the death here on several occasions.  
Still, he’s following you down the stairs of the station, watching as you whistle along to the song blasting through your headphones. There’s a backpack swung over your shoulders, hands stuffed into the pocket of your hoodie and converse doing a skip every now and then. There’s a bandana that’s tied across your face, acting as a mask to hide your identity. 
He realises that you’re dressed like a commuter. Were you going to dress the part every single time?
You walk along with the crowd. He follows, a few feet away.
Until you stop. He abruptly stops too, leading someone to walk right into him. 
“Watch it, dumbass,” they hiss with the courage of someone who has no idea who he is. He ignores them. 
He looks on as you dig around your backpack and pull out a roll of paper. A poster, he realises soon when you peel off a layer from the back and press it to the wall. 
Was it legal to put up posters in the subway? He wasn’t quite sure. 
He observes as you turn around and continue down the path. He waits a few seconds before trailing up to the poster.
Volunteers needed!
If you’re interested in being turned into a ghost for a couple of hours, this is your chance! Should be okay with being on camera so that we can make money off of taped paranormal sightings.
Paid opportunity. You get to pick your outfit. Randos don’t apply.
He yanks the poster of the wall before continuing down the same place you did.
He finds another poster along the way. He doesn’t hesitate in pulling it down. You were advocating to kill people. 
He knows he’s going in the right direction because more posters creep up along the wall.
The both of you are on the platform by now but to him, something changes about the placement of the posters. They were growing in frequency, the distance between them decreasing as they were situated close to each other.
He pauses in front of the next one, hand hovering over the paper.
All it reads is ‘STOP’.
He furrows his eyebrow, pulling it down before peering over at the next one.
‘TAKING’, is all that it says.
It doesn’t take him very long to make his way through all the posters in the hallway. 
‘THESE’
‘DOWN’
The train’s arrived by now but a quick scan over the crowd and he knows that you haven’t entered. That, and he knew that you were too dramatic to leave without a trace or a small conversation with him. 
‘DICKHEAD’
Tasteful, he thinks. 
“It took effort to make them, stop ruining it,” you whine from the end of the hallway. It’s empty, given that rush hour was over a while ago. 
Even though the mask covers half your face, it’s obvious that there is mischief etched under it. The twinkle in your eye is telling. 
“You’re literally killing people.” He holds up the poster. Not the ‘dickhead’ one. He pockets that for later. 
He knows there are a few minutes before the next train arrives and more people flood the station. The eccentricity of today lay in the lighting from the incandescent lamps and acoustics of the platform. It made his voice echo like a movie scene. 
“I very much am not,” you huff. 
“You’re turning them into ghosts. That’s what a murderer does,” he says pointedly. 
“Well, only if you keep saying it like that. You’re making me look bad.” You cross your arms across your chest. “What are you, Fox News?” 
A scurry next to him earns his attention. Two rats nibble at a piece of fallen food. He wonders when they’ll starting brawling. 
“Explain this.” He waves the poster around. He isn’t taking it too lightly he hopes. If it’s actual murder then it’s going to be an issue. 
You pull out a black cylinder, slightly bigger than a pen. He can’t really see any more details, but you hold onto it like a wand. 
“I’m turning them into ghosts. I’ll post videos of them doing stupid shit. I get famous and then boom, cash money.” You rub your index finger and thumb together. “I’ll give you a share if you volunteer.”
“You’re not explaining the death part.” 
He can feel it. You’re about to start derailing. 
“Winter Soldier, the ghost story. Literally.” You grin, yanking down the mask from your face to prove it. It pools around your neck. “That’s so funny, c’mon, it’d be amazing.”
It’s been years since he’s heard that. Never in this context. 
“No,” he says sternly, “and I’m going to have to bring you in if you’re going to kill people.”
The rats were ignoring everything that was going down like the hardened criminals that they were. They had probably seen worse. He can’t stop paying attention to them.
“I’m not killing them, bro.” You raise your hands in exclamation. “I’m just moving some molecules around, some frequency shit. They’re alive, just ghosts.”  
He’s always been one for science. Straight As throughout high school, attended science conventions as a hobby, alive even at 100 through some mad experimentation, definitely seen some weird shit during his lifetime. 
But this doesn’t make sense.
“No,” he repeats. “Give me the thing.”
“Fine, I’ll show you.” You roll your eyes. “Since you have absolutely no faith in me.”
He does a quick review of his surroundings. 
No one’s around, which is good. 
But that just leaves him in front of you, which is bad.
“Don’t you even thin-” he starts, muscles tensing as he shifts into a defensive stance.
You whip out the little pen thing from beside you but before he can react you turn around and duck. 
The click of a button releases a bright light, small but intensely stronger than the fluorescents in the station.
He reels back, feet carrying him away from where you’re crouched. His eyes quickly look down at his body. 
Nothing’s changed. 
He lifts his hand to check, runs it over his face. Still alive. He thinks.
“Behold,” you declare, “Ghost rat.”
He looks to where you’re pointing. The two rats from earlier were still nibbling on their food but something was off about them. 
He could see the faint outline of the tiles on the wall behind them, almost like they were... translucent.  
You aimed at the rats, not him. He doesn’t know whether to feel relieved or annoyed at the fake threat.
He watches as they move. They don’t look hurt or injured.
“Cool, huh?” you say smugly. 
He can’t stop staring at them. 
“Bring them back.”
“They’re fine, look how abstract it is.”
“Bring back the rats.” He can’t believe this is what his life has come to.
Bucky Barnes, Rodent Protector.
You aren’t fazed by his indifference, instead wonder filled eyes gaze at the animals. “Astral mice, sarge. Embrace the miracle of modern science.”
“You killed them.”
“They’re alive, they’re just ghosts.” You raise a finger to point. “Look, they’re still eating. Biological functions are still taking place.” 
 Which was true. But still. He doesn’t know what is going on.
“Bring them back to... non-ghost alive.” 
“You sure you don’t want one? That one kinda looks like you.” One hardened glare after you realise the answer. “Jeez, alright then.”
You dig through your bag before pulling out a matte black replica of your current invention. 
“Sexy colours, right?” You hold them up. “I modelled them after your arm.”
He looks down. Sure enough the gold and black matched his cybernetic limb. It was oddly flattering. 
“Say thank you, Y/N, for letting me be your muse-”
“Un-ghost the rats.” 
“Ungrateful,” you narrow your eyes at him. 
Still, you comply with his demands, ducking down to their level again.
A click of the button, a bright light and the rats are back to normal. Non-transparent normal.
“Okay, give me that.” He takes a step towards you. 
“Nuh uh.” You pull your arm back. His mouth twitches at your response; what are you, five?
The black one is stuffed back into your bag but you wave around the gold like a threat. 
He sighs, making a pass for it. In a second his arm is twisted and shoved against his back, forcing him to spin so that he’s facing away from you. His eyes widen.
What the fuck?
“Now we’re having a good time,” you whisper into this ear. 
He swiftly turns around, grabbing your wrist to rotate his own out of your grip. 
“Since when can you fight?” he asks.
“Are we getting to know each other now?” You raise your leg to give him a semi gentle kick in the side, using his momentary distraction in blocking it to give him a knock on the head with your free hand. “This is so romantic, sarge.”
There’s a low rumble in the distance and he knows the train would soon start pulling into the station. It was still a distance away, but his heightened senses warned him that it wouldn’t take much time. 
He groans. How much longer would he have to go at this?
He could easily win this fight and he knew it. But something in him itched, pulled him back from doing it.
He blocks another attempt at his head. “Stop that.”
You grin. “You know what’d be fun?”
He knows you’d reply even if he didn’t encourage it. The lights from the train light up the tunnel around the corner. 
“This.” You don’t give him a second to recover before you flick your wrist away from him.
The device flies out of your hand and right onto the track. The both of you watch, you in glee, he in horror, as the train runs right over it, unleashing the brightest light he had ever seen. His eyes shut instinctively before it blinds him.
He forces himself to pry open his eyelids, look at the damage caused. 
The train, sure enough, is translucent. He can see the posters on the other side of the platform through the carriage, through various people holding onto the poles for support or seated on the seats.
“Ghost train!” you cheer. He’s mortified.
“Fuck no,” he mumbles, yanking the backpack off your shoulder. He rummages through it, looking for the gold version.
“You lookin’ for this?” you ask nonchalantly, holding it up in your hand like it isn’t the solution to stopping a bunch of ghosts from wandering around New York. 
“Turn them back.” He gives you a chance. 
“Do it yourself, coward.” You grin, holding it above your head. The train is going to stop and he needs everyone to be alive and non-ghost before they leave.
He doesn’t wait this time, instead turning to you. The thing is still held in your grip above your head. He rolls his eyes, doing a quick assessment before grabbing your free hand, tugging you closer and plucking the device out of your hand before you have the opportunity to retract it.  
“Great, now figure out which button to press.” You’re dangerously close to him. He can feel your hoodie brush against his tactical jacket. “Also if you wanted to be all pressed up against me, you could have just asked.” 
He furrows his eyebrows, letting go of you as you give a loud laugh. He looks down at the device. It has several buttons, littering up and down the side. Each look the same. 
The train’s slowing down. 
“They’re both the same device; this version is not a magical solution to the other one. If you press the wrong button then both of us are going to be fucked.”
The last carriage is getting closer. 
“Say I win this round and I’ll fix it.” 
There’s a gleam in your eye. He knew this was exactly what you wanted. 
He wishes he was as stubborn as Steve, just run through each button until the right one worked.
“You win this one.” He hands it back. He wasn’t like Steve and judging by the number of items the idiot jumped out of planes without a parachute on a daily basis, Bucky was glad about it. At least Bucky did it sporadically.
“Yay, two each for the both of us, then,” you say, taking it from him and twisting, eyes running down the sides. “Close your eyes, old man, or else your cataract’s gonna get worse.”
Right as the train pulls to a stop, you press down on the button before throwing it and the blinding light that emanates from it. It lands on the top of the train right as the doors open. 
The passengers start stepping out. Some of them are looking at their hands and legs in a little disbelief, most just push through the crowd to leave.
He can’t see through them. It’s a good sign. 
He turns to look at you but you’re not there. Instead, the weight of the small device weighs down in his pocket.
The sound of a thud on glass draws his attention. 
He looks up at the train. The window of the carriage in front of him has a bit of fog on it. You trace a heart in the condensation and blow him a kiss before pulling your mask back on.
The train starts moving, leaving him alone in the platform again with your invention.
He lets out an exhale, wandering outside to grab a sandwich before waiting to catch the next train to go home. 
Later in the evening, he catches hold of a bit of tape and the ‘Dickhead’ poster finds a place on Sam’s door. 
He doesn’t appreciate it.
So now it’s tucked away in the shelf of Bucky’s bedside table along with a freeze ray, a ghost-inator, and some discount Pym Particles.

BIG HELLO TO EVERYONE!
Tumblr media
I didn’t want to post but well let’s go… because I am too scared to disturb the amazing writers on this platform… so here are the prompts (it is how we say?) I would love to see !
Amazing writers of Genshin Impact (or others but I will only tag this community) who write for reader (or btw characters) here are my ideas, feel free to use them (or not), with any genders, any characters… If you planned to use them please tag me or mention me 🥺
1) Reader die after a very big argument between their bf/gf : R (reader) and C (character) have a big fights, R flees, sleep outside of their home. They don’t talk to each other, and R decide to take a mission, do a job… unfortunately they died… What’s gonna be C reaction to this news ?
2) Character accuses Reader for something they never done : C accuses very hard the R for something very important ! Of course R didn’t do it. Fights? Break up? Free to to the writers… When C discover the truth and it’s not their s/o what’s gonna happen?
3) A follow to above or not, Reader lost trust to the character : everything is in the title, How C gonna gain, win, the truth of their crush? Lover?
4) Reader doesn’t like to be scold by the Character: R do something very reckless, dangerous, or stupid and is scold by the C. A first time it’s ok, the second? Okay too, but when it’s every day R says « If you have enough of the way I am, let’s end ur relationship » or C says « If you can’t stop being like that, let’s end it »
5) Character rejected Reader and regret it, C wants to win their crush: When R confessed their love to C, this one rejected their confession. After a while and a big distance, C regrets it, and fall in love… at the moment they want to confess, someone else is gaining the love of R. What are they gonna do to win the heart of their crush?
6) « Your job or me » : I think the title say it all! R is feeling kinda left out bc C work too much ! R have enough of this and want attention! Smut or not ?
7) Reader comes at home/job crying after being bullied : R didn’t said a single time, people harassed them, always smile, always laughing, always hiding their suffering. One day, someone say/do something very bad to R, they have enough and cry in front of C
8) Reader is shy, but isn’t scare to kill and have blood on their hands: R show a side where they are shy, doesn’t talk much, to anyone also their bf/gf but during war it’s something else… doesn’t hesitate a single time to kill, to execute who do something wrong. One day someone gonna be execute, the executioner hesitate or else, R have enough and do it in front of the C. What’s will be their reaction ? Disgust? Proud? Sadness?
9) Reader wake up a full berserker mode when someone hurt them or someone important in front of them: Title say it all, you know the shounen protagonist showing their full power when someone it hurt or crying? Well that’s ur R!
10) ⚠️smut ⚠️ Reader says they want to have a threesome to the Character : R says they had a dream where R is between their bf/gf and someone else to the C. What if this dream became true?
Alright that is! I wanted to write more but well… I will if they are working and writers are using them! After the « : » is optional, so feel free to write like you want ! Headcanons ? Story? Don’t know any other terms…
If you write some of them for me 🥺🥺 you gonna be an angel 😇 ! I would to see with a f/gn reader with Jean/Sara/Eula or Yae :3 ❤️❤️ (order by preference) ! If they are some writers who recognize me (?) hello to you!
If you did like my prompt idea, you would like to see me write those stuff for genshin or other community just fav, retweet, comment or mention me ! (#Misslu999)
Big love to you all ❤️❤️

His goal by the end of this date is to bring home the biggest fucking pumpkin. I kid you not, this fool is going to be scouting the patch from the second he gets inside it.
It’s most likely a competition. You’re going to want a nice pumpkin to carve, so you look for one, and you find a nice, big one with plenty of room for a nice design.
Bakugou’s eyes land on your pumpkin as you heave it up into your arms and he’s like ‘oh hell nah.’
“Let me carry your-”
“Find your own pumpkin.” You stick your tongue out at him as you begin to rush back to where you purchase them and Bakugou begins to chase after you. He’d told you he was looking for a big pumpkin and while it had only just dawned on you that your pumpkin was great in size, you intended to keep this pumpkin.
Bakugou eventually gives up and settles for a slightly smaller pumpkin. He won’t admit defeat though. 
Later on the date, you two go on a hayride, and hold hands. The smell of pumpkin and fall seem to grow stronger as the day goes on.
After the hayride, there’s the corn maze. 
I hope you’re ready.
Because the winner, out of you and Bakugou, gets treated to lunch paid for by the loser, and gets bragging rights.
Bakugou is pissed when you dart of into the maze because clearly in the list of rules he’d laid out- yeah you stopped listening when he said rules and got a head start.
Bakugou is determined to find you, and without cheating. He sticks to the paths and eventually he can hear you laughing, because you can hear him shouting at the corn that keeps wacking him in the face as he tries to run through.
When he catches up to you, it’s too late. You’re already out of the maze and Bakugou is left dumbfounded. How did you complete it so fast?
“You followed me the whole time, I think you owe me two lunches.” You smile, hugging him as he stands at the exit of the maze.
“How-”
“Shh, let’s go get food, I’m starving.”
When you return back to the dorms, you head straight to Bakugou’s room. Lunch was great, all thanks to Bakugou paying.
You give Bakugou your big pumpkin and he’s hesitant at first.
“It’s yours. You found it-”
“Take it before I change my mind ‘Suki.” You lean up and give him a kiss on the cheek. He’s happy to carve some absurd picture into the pumpkin while you try your best to carve your own design.
A very successful October date.

shoto todoroki

Todoroki hasn’t been to a pumpkin patch in ages. He can’t remember the last time he went and actually had fun. But you were determined to make sure he had fun today.
You’d planned it all out, and you started with a hayride.
Sitting atop the hay, Todoroki sat close to you, his hand holding yours as the tractor began to move, pulling you along with everyone else in the open trailer.
“Do you know what you’re going to carve into your pumpkin?” You ask as you admire the fall scenery, taking in the lovely view of the color-changing leaves, the scent of pumpkin, and the sound of people running and having fun in the corn maze.
“I’ve never carved a pumpkin before.” Todoroki uttered, which blew your mind.
“You’ve never- Shoto Todoroki today you are carving a pumpkin.” You had a look of determination on your face.
After the hayride, you insisted on the corn maze, which Todoroki thought of as a challenge.
“So it’s a race.” Todoroki stood, looking at the entrance and the exit.
“No- it’s just a maze, but if you’d like to race, you can eat my dust!” You dart off into the maze and Todoroki charges after you. He’s smiling and happy. And that’s enough for you.
He catches up to you and traps you in a dead end you’d stumbled upon.
“Sho!” You smile and laugh as he hugs you. He pulls away ad leans to give you a quick kiss before darting off. You’re flustered but gather your senses as you try to locate the exit.
Todoroki makes it out first, but you’re close behind him. You congratulate him on his win and decide to head over to the pumpkin patch. 
Picking out a pumpkin was much more difficult than Todoroki had imagined. He was going to carve it, so he needed a good size for whatever he was carving.
He looked over and found you heaving a giant pumpkin in to your arms, a devious look on your face.
“That is a large pumpkin.” Todoroki states, trying not to laugh at you as you struggle to hold it in your arms.
“Which one are you getting?” You ask, heaving the pumpkin up onto your shoulder to carry it better.
Todoroki settles on a medium-sized pumpkin, with the perfect amount of space for a nice carving.
Taking them back to the dorms was easy, but you were not prepared for what was Todoroki carving a pumpkin.
He somehow managed to lose the top to his pumpkin after cutting it out, he got pumpkin guts everywhere, you were still finding seeds in the common room after you cleaned up.
But on the front porch of the dorms, sat your giant pumpkin carved with a spooky design next to Todoroki’s smiley-faced pumpkin.

izuku midoriya

Izuku is super excited. He’s all for carving a pumpkin and going on hayrides and much more.
When you arrive at the pumpkin patch, you decide to do the corn maze first. 
Izuku insists on completing it together, so you do. As you begin to walk through the rows of corn, trying to find the exit, you get lost a few times.
“Izuku I’ve seen this same stalk of corn before.” You laugh as you point at the corn stalk that had been bent in a funny way.
“Okay maybe we are going in circles.” Midoriya laughs as he stops to try and look for a different path.
When you finally make progress, Izuku wants to take a few pictures. Peaking out from the corn you smile as he snaps a picture of you, and you yank him into the corn for a cute picture together.
You kiss his cheek as he snaps the second picture. He’s a blushing mess, but it was worth it.
when you find the exit, you rush to it together, sprinting out of the maze.
Next is the hayride. Cozying up to Izuku, you admire the beautiful fall scenery as you ride along the pumpkin patch.
Laying your head on his shoulder, you’re happy to just be spending time with him. 
After the hayride, you head to the pumpkin patch to pick out your pumpkin. Izuku wants a nice-sized pumpkin, something he can have plenty of room to carve on.
You point to a green pumpkin and smile.
“Izu’ look! It’s a little Deku pumpkin.” You hold it up and giggle, Midoriya’s cheeks tinting red.
“Have you found a pumpkin yet?” Izuku asks, looking around until his eyes land on a good pumpkin.
“I think I like the little green one.” You hold it in your hands and walk with Izuku as he heads toward his pumpkin. It’s pretty big but he picks it up like it’s nothing.
Back at the dorms, carving the pumpkins is an adventure. Deciding to try and carve All Might, Midoriya is hard at work while you carve your pumpkin.
In the end, Izuku’s All Might is more of a stick figure with muscles. Nevertheless, they sit outside on the porch, lit with a candle setting the mood for fall.

Kaminari is super excited as well. He’s up bright and early the morning of, surprisingly, and running out the door when it’s time to leave.
He wants to do the hayride first, and you sit beside one another, his arm around your shoulder. He holds you close to him as you admire the scenery.
He’s constantly making puns related to the change in season, and while they’re corny and simple, you love them.
“I guess you could say I’m really fall-ing for you.” Kaminari wiggles his eyebrows. You giggle and give him a peck on the cheek.
“You dork.” You smile and cozy up next to him for the remainder of the hayride.
After the hayride, you two go to pick out some pumpkins. Kaminari isn’t looking for the biggest pumpkin, but he definitely wants to impress you.
“This one’s the size of your head!” Kaminari lifts up a rather large pumpkin. Your eye twitches as you look at him.
“Wait shit, my bad! It’s the size of my head! My head! Your head is cute!”
The recovery is about as funny as the comparison he’d made but you decide to let it slide.
After settling on some medium-sized pumpkins, you set them in a safe place to come back to later so you can go and enjoy the corn maze.
When you enter the corn maze, the sun is shining. However, when you leave, the place is about to close, it’s dark, and all you’ve got when you leave is your phone flashlight which saved your life when it got dark.
Denki is nowhere to be found. 
He tried to be all funny and try and sneak off and scare you, but when you realize he��s not behind you after you told him it was time to exit the maze, you’re worried.
Darting back inside, you debate on calling for him or not. 
“Denki!” You call out, deciding it’d just be best to give yourself away in case he was trying to scare you.
“Denki come on, it’s not funny anymore, where are you?!” You yelled again.
“Boo!” He screams as he jumps out form between some corn. You let out a yelp and latch onto him.
“Asshole.” You mumble as you hug him.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think I’d still be able to scare you.”
“I was worried! You weren’t behind me and I-”
Kaminari hushed you with a kiss, his arms linking around your waist.
A bright light shone on your faces as the owner of the pumpkin patch called for you.
“We’re closing, come on and get out!” They yelled. 
Purchasing your pumpkins, you returned back to the dorms to carve them, and despite being a little upset at Kaminari for scaring you, you still cuddled beside him after passing out on the couch.

Heading to the pumpkin patch clad in matching fall themed sweaters, Kirishima is going to spoil you.
He’s helping you carry the pumpkin you pick out when you look at all the pumpkins. He’s such a sweetheart.
He’s also going to have a lot of fun.
On the hayride, he’ll let you sit in his lap, which makes the ride that much more bumpy, you can’t count the amount of airtime you got and how much Kirishima laughed when you practically floated off his lap.
His arms hooked around your waist after the first few bumps to secure you, hugging you close to him.
After the hayride is the corn maze. And honestly like Kaminari, he could spend hours in there. Whether it be scaring you, or making a map of the place, he’s having fun as long as you are.
The first time you do the maze, you race one another. You finish first, although Kirishima was two steps behind you.
On the second run through, you go together. 
“I went this way!” You begin to pull him along but Kirishima doesn’t budge.
“I went this way.” Kirishima nodded toward the other path.
“Well who won?” You teased, following after him.
“I’d say we tied.” Kirishima replied, pulling you along the path. When the sun began to sink below the horizon, you tried to do the maze in the dark.
It was much more difficult than you thought. You bumped into Kirishima more times than you could count, and eventually you had to break out your flashlight.
And on the fourth time around, you entered the maze first and thirty seconds after, Kirishima entered to try and track you down.
It was slightly terrifying. Using your flashlight was sure to get you caught, but without it you could hardly see.
There were a few times where Kirishima had walked past you, where you had decided to try and hide rather than run away from him.
But when he found you, you had been cornered.
“Boo!” Kirishima yelled, scaring you. You jumped and let out a yelp as he gave you a hug, laughing it off.
“I got you!” He kissed your cheek as he held you close to him, smiling proudly.
“You didn’t have to scare me.” You smile, nuzzling into his chest.
“Let’s go carve some pumpkins.” Kirishima leads you out of the maze for the last time, having it memorized by now.
When you arrive back at the dorms to carve the pumpkins, it’s very late. 
Kirishima puts on a scary movie and the two of you carve away. 
You pass out in the common room, cuddled up on the couch after successfully placing your beautifully carved pumpkins on the porch.

Tamaki is excited, and the entire date is hyped up by Mirio and Nejire. He’s happy to go on a date with you, albeit a bit nervous, but excited.
When he sees you, his heart flutters. You look beautiful in the autumn colors, and he’s falling even more in love with you as every second passes.
When you arrive at the pumpkin patch, you decide to go pick out your pumpkins first.
“Do you know what kind of pumpkin you want Tamaki?” You ask, holding his hand. Tamaki smiles at the warm feeling in his chest as you hold his hand.
“Something c-cute. Like you.” Tamaki complimented you. You let out a small laugh and hugged him.
“Well if that’s the logic, we’re both looking for cute pumpkins.” Complimenting Tamaki right back, you both head out to find pumpkins.
Tamaki returns with a tiny pumpkin, like comically tiny. It’s cute, and manageable.
“I’m going to name it Bunny. A-after you.”
Your heart melts at his action. You show him your pumpkin, which was on the medium sized scale, not huge, but enough for a small design if you wanted to carve it.
“I’ll name mine Suneater.” You lean and kiss his cheek.
After picking out your pumpkins, you decide to do the corn maze, which was a load of fun.
Tamaki’s hand in yours made you feel secure as the two of you navigated through the stalks of corn, trying to find the exit.
You probably spent an hour or so in it, just having fun and talking.
“Look! We did it! Tamaki we did it!” You smile and jump wit excitement as you exit the maze, giving him a short and sweet peck on his lips.
Tamaki blushed, his arms wrapping around your waist as he hugged you close to him during the unexpected kiss.
After, the two of you headed to the hayride. It was about 10 minutes long, and it gave you plenty of time to rest, even though you weren’t really tired, you cozied up to Tamaki as the ride started.
The leaves on the trees had changed color, each red, orange, and yellow leaf catching your attention as you enjoyed the faint scent of pumpkin in the air.
“It’s so beautiful.” You commented, holding Tamaki’s hand in your own. Tamaki nodded and nuzzled his head into your shoulder.
When the hayride was over, you purchased your pumpkins and headed back to the dorms.
Mirio and Nejire had agreed to carve pumpkins with you, and while Tamaki’s pumpkin was too small to carve, he definitely enjoyed helping the others.
Putting on a Halloween classic, you and Tamaki cozied up on his bed and fell asleep together.

Mirio has planned the entire thing out. He’s excited to spend the day with you. 
When you arrive at the pumpkin patch, he wants to ride the hayride first, insisting you sit on his lap. He wants to hold you, his hands intertwined with yours, taking in all the beautiful autumn scenery.
He’d given you one of his knitted sweaters to wear before going outside in the cool air. It looks good on you, and he can’t help but smile every time he looks at you.
“Do you have any idea of what kind of pumpkin you want to pick?” You ask, a soft smile on your lips. Mirio just hums, resting his head on your shoulder.
“One that’s cute, like you, sunshine!” Mirio kissed your cheek, a giggle escaping your lips.
“Mirio!” You snuggle into his arms as a cool breeze of wind blows by. 
Once the hayride is over, you head over to the pumpkin patch where you struggle to find a pumpkin.
You debate on something small or something big when Mirio approaches you holding a medium-sized pumpkin, perfectly round and ready to be carved.
“That’s like the perfect pumpkin how did you-”
“I thought you might like this one.” Mirio suggests, his eyes landing on another good one.
“But you found it, I-”
“It’s all yours, besides,” Mirio hands you the pumpkin before reaching and grabbing one that sat by your feet.
“This one looks more like me.” Mirio lifts the large and tall pumpkin up to his head and smiles.
“Did you just compare yourself to a pumpkin?” You smile whilst holding Mirio’s perfect pumpkin in your hands.
“I sure did.” Mirio laughs.
“You need help?” Mirio asks, motioning to your pumpkin. You shake your head and hoist it up into your arms with a better grip, walking around some more.
After picking out pumpkins it’s time to do the cornmaze. You decide to start seperately, racing to the end. You bump into each other a few times, and youe ven bust Mirio for following you.
“You’re cheating.” You pout standing in front of him.
“I was just following my dreams.” Mirio says smoothly. You sigh and place a kiss on his cheek before continuing off down the path you believed to be the exit.
Mirio follows suit and the two of you make it out at the same time.
“So much for a race.” You laugh. Mirio just waves his hand and hugs you from behind.
“Let’s go carve us some pumpkins!” He’s excited to get back and carve a pumpkin so you head on back to the campus.
Mirio carves a cute sun on his pumpkin and declares that it reminds him of you. It sits outside the dorm alongside yours, Tamaki’s and Nejire’s.

hawks/keigo takami

Avoiding paparazzi, it took you a bit of time to get into the pumpkin patch, but once you were in, you were in.
Hawks was trying to be smooth, acting tough and trying to carry each pumpkin you laid eyes on.
“I can carry my own pumpkin.” You smile, reaching down and picking up one of the largest ones you could find.
“Oh yeah?” Hawks went to grab it and immediately felt his arms drop as the pumpkin was way heavier than he expected. His feathers came to aid, lifting he pumpkin back up and saving it from cracking open on impact.
“Way to go, handsome.” You tease, deciding his feathers were fine to hold it if they so wished too.
“Hey-”
You shut Hawks up with a kiss, holding onto the edges of his fur lined jacket. He’d come straight from work, but he didn’t mind. As long as he was spending time with you, he could care less when or where it happened.
Hawks wasn’t complaining. He kissed you back and smiled, pulling away with a goofy grin on his lips.
You hiked over to the hayride next, hopping on some hay bales, you cozied up to Hawks, resting under one of his wings which hugged you closer to him.
As the tractor tugged the attached trailer which you and Hawks sat on along, you gazed at the beautiful pumpkin patch. It was simple and easy on the eyes with the beautiful and cute decorations set up for the fall season, as well as a few Halloween themed decorations.
“It’s so beautiful.” You commented, resting your head on Hawks. Hawks smiled and slid his hand in yours.
“Not as beautiful as you.” He cooed, thinking he was being smooth.
“Did you practice that one in the mirror?” You tease. You did love Hawks cheesy pick up lines that you’d heard a million times before, it was what made them that much better honestly. 
“You’re the one dating me.” Hawks mumbled, placing a short kiss on your head, mumbling something into your hair.
“Hm? What was that?” You ask, glancing up at you.
“I love you.” Hawks smiles at you. You return a smile and return to gazing at the scenery.
After the hayride, you take on the maze. Hawks is determined to finish it in some high score, but you want to enjoy it. 
Getting lost and hitting dead ends is what makes a maze that much better. It can be frustrating, but you enjoy it.
Hawks ushers yo down several paths that all end up back at the same place, and in the end, you lead him out of the maze.
“I had that down, babybird.” Hawks tries to reassure you that he had figured it out but you just laugh.
“Sure you did.” You smile, giving him a peck on the cheek.
You return back to his home and set up for pumpkin carving, promising to spend a little more time together before he eventually gets called back in for hero work.
You both fall asleep on the couch after carving, wore out and tired from a long day.

dabi
Tumblr media
»»————- ★ ————-««
Villains have to be on the low about things. Dabi couldn’t waltz out in the public freely, he’d be spotted. So he has to go disguised.
At least, if you go during the day, that is.
Breaking into the pumpkin patch was way easier than it should’ve been, and for the first thirty minutes, Dabi was on edge, thinking that something was bound to go wrong and that you’d be caught up with him.
But alas, the night carried on and the chirping of crickets and other various nighttime creatures kept the chilling silence away.
“Alright baby, where do you want to go?” Dabi asks coolly, resting an arm around your shoulder. You nudge him toward the corn maze. 
It’s a race to the end the first time, but the second time around, Dabi wants to play hide and seek.
You’re it first, searching around for your villain companion, but you couldn’t even come close to finding him...until you notice a faint blue glow.
Creeping up on him, you decide to scare him.
It doesn’t entirely go that great.
Your face feels hot as a blue flame erupts in your field of view.
“Shit! Don’t do that!” Dabi curses, quickly extinguishing his quirk from further roasting you alive.
“I scared you though I totally got you!” You laughed, not at all bothered by the fact that he nearly singed you.
“Baby, you’re gonna regret that, because now I’m it.” Dabi’s voice was low and husky as towered over you. You smiled and leaned up, kissing his lips before darting off to go hide.
Your spot is pretty solid, hiding in a dead end, behind a few thick stalks of corn. You think you’re safe seeing as how you don’t even remember seeing this portion of the maze so how or why would Dabi come back here.
Everything’s going great until you hear things snapping and breaking behind you. You whip around to investigate but your back is forced to the ground as you look above you.
Dabi’s cerulean eyes peer down at you as a smirk dawns his lips. 
“Got you, baby.” Dabi kisses you passionately, his hands resting on the ground on each side of you.
When the make out is over, you both sit up and decide to go pick out a pumpkin. You can’t go on a hayride since that’d make a lot of noise and probably alert someone that people were here when they shouldn’t be, but Dabi promises to make it up to you.
Remind him to ask Tomura for a tractor. He can write it off as a league business expense or something.
Picking out a pumpkin was much more difficult. Dabi found his in a matter of seconds, ready to head back and get to carving. He was actually pretty excited about the whole thing. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d enjoyed the fall season, or Halloween. 
He waited on you to pick out a pumpkin, watching as you searched for the perfect one.
You settled on a rather large pumpkin, something you could carve a rather large design into. You wanted to really go all out, and you wanted to try and show Dabi up.
Pumpkin carving was a hidden talent of yours.
Returning back to wherever the league was stationed this time, you and Dabi got to work.
Toga and Twice stopped by to watch as you carved away, giving some input and cheering you on as you tried to beat Dabi in some sort of pumpkin carving challenge.
“Shigaraki! Can you judge our pumpkins! You’ll decide whose is the best.” You call out to your ‘boss’ and smile.
“Whatever.” Shigaraki mumbles, trotting over to examine your pumpkin beside Dabi’s.
After way to long, Shigaraki decides to give you the win. Dabi is pissed after all the effort he put into it, but you assure him his pumpkin is amazing.
A blue flame flickers on the candles you placed inside your carved pumpkins and you cuddle next to Dabi a little more that night to make up for his loss.

Chisaki wanted to spend time with you, and althhough he was a villain, he had connections that set up a rather autumn-themed date. he was taking you to a pumpkin patch.
He’d lent you his flufy green and purple jacket to wear, and he couldn’t deny that it looked adorable on you.
His gloved hand resided in yours as you walked through the cornmaze.
It was something he’d never really understood, but seeing the excitement on your face as you begged him to go through it with you, he decided to go along with it.
A few other members of the Shie Hassaikai were scattered around, making sure the place was empty, and keep an eye out for heroes and such.
“Which way do you think we should go?” You’d stopped at a forked path, confused at which way to go.
“This path looks like it loops back around.” Chisaki commented, the first path did turn whilst the second path seemed to go traight and then curve back right.
“Second path it is!” You tug Chisaki along with you. when you reach the end, you give him a brisk hug and jump around with excitement.
“That wasn’t so bad.” Chisaki glanced back at the cornmaze, throughly impressed with how difficult it had actually been.
There was no one around to give the hayride so you had to miss out, but walking to the pumpkin patch itself was more than enough. 
All the leaves had changed colors and the wind smelled like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Picking out a pumpking was fairly difficult. You wanted to carve something on it, but you didn’t know if you should pick the biggest one or something managable.
“Are you picking one Chisaki?” You ask, watchig as his amber eyes gazed around the field.
“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt.” Chisaki sighs, bending down to pick up one he’d been staring at. It was a fairly large pumpkin. He held it carefully in his gloved hands, grimacing at the dirt that stained the white fabric.
You’d decided on a pumpkin and brought it back with you, excited to get back to the base and carve it.
Chisaki wasn’t excited about the mess, but watching you carve a design into the pumpkin took his mind off of it. He was happy just watching you be happy.
He didn’t carve his although you asked if he wanted help with carving it. 
They sat outside his room in the base, a small candle lit inside yours to illuminate the carving.

tomura shigaraki
Tumblr media
»»————- ★ ————-««
Like Dabi, the two of you can’t exactly go to a pumpkin patch in broad daylight. Tomura is a wanted criminal, and since you’re associated with him, you’re not gonna get away entirely scot-free either.
So, a little breaking and entering never hurt anyone, and it was very mild compared to the things Tomura usually did.
Also similar to Dabi, the hayride is out of the question, but Tomura claims he can take you for a drive any day, all you have to do is ask, that is if  you feel safe with Tomura behind the wheel.
Picking out pumpkins first, you and Shigaraki tackle the patch together. It’s a struggle to find one you like, and even more so, to find one Shigaraki likes.
Carving it is really up to you, but whether you chose to carve it later or not, you want to pick one out.
“What about this one?” You ask, heaving a large on up into your arms. Shigaraki’s eyes land on the bright orange pumpkin in your grasp and suddenly it’s the single pumpkin that he wants.
“I want it.” Shigaraki mumbles. You let out a giggle and walk toward him.
“It’s heavy.”
“I can handle it.”
“Careful!” You transfer it to his grasp, rolling it into his arms. His upper body droops as he catches it, struggling to hold it without decaying it at his touch.
“I got it.” Shigaraki hisses, clearly struggling. The pumpkin begins to slip and you’re able to snake your arms under it just in time.
“How about we share one?” Your soft expression calms Shigaraki’s growing anger. With a nod, you place the pumpkin somewhere so you can head to the corn maze, the part Tomura was looking forward too.
“It’s like a stage from a video game.” Tomura began trying to think of all the possible ways to clear the maze, but with your hand carefully wrapped in his, you began pulling him along.
Tomura wouldn’t say it out loud, but when you held his hand, or trusted him in general with things like touch, he felt much closer to you. 
He didn’t feel so distant, he knew you weren’t scared of him, and that’s what he treasured.
“It’s this way.” Shigaraki’s sense were just leading you in all sorts of directions.
“Tomura, if we pass this little circle path again-”
“I know I know.” Shigaraki tugs you in another direction and sure enough, the exit comes into sight.
“We did it!” You hug him, pulling his face down closer to yours, pressing your lips on his gently.
Kissing you back, Tomura’s hands travelled to your hips, tilting his head ever so slightly to the side, deepening the kiss.
Returning back to the hideout, you set up to carve the pumpkin in your shared room.
Tomura gives some input on what you should carve and you get to work.
When the night is over, you’ve got a pumpkin carved sitting on the broken kitchen table for the rest of the league to admire when they stop by.

eraserhead/shota aizawa
Tumblr media

Aizawa isn’t a big media fan, so he’ll try to avoid paparazzi or media at all costs. 
Taking you out on a little fall date was Hizashi’s plan, and Aizawa actually liked the sound of going to a pumpkin patch.
The first thing the two of you do is the hayride. It’s short and simple, you sit next to Aizawa, holding his hand as the two of you cozy up when a cool breeze blows.
Sho’s hair is tied back from when you were playing with it on the couch prior to leaving for the date, he just never took it down. It was a good look on him, anything was really.
“Thanks for taking me out.” You smile and kiss his cheek. It wasn’t rare to go out on a date, but you both preferred to be inside when it came to dates, whether it be ordering takeout and watching a movie, or attempting to cook a meal to have together.
“Of course.” Aizawa pressed a kiss of his own to your cheek, smiling against your skin.
The hayride was over in about ten minutes which gave you plenty of time to explore the patch.
Next you went off to the corn maze where you got lost. 
It wasn’t supposed to happen, but having so much fun, you lost track of where you were going, and somehow, you’d lost Shota along the way.
When you were finally reunited, an all black kitten laid in Shota’s arms.
“Sho...”
“It was all alone. Am I a hero if I can’t save-”
“It’s so cute!” You smiled, approaching the small kitten slowly. It warmed up to the both of you quite quickly, and it seemed to like Aizawa a lot.
Cradling it in his arms, Sho attempted to show you the way out. You followed behind.
Making it out of the maze, you headed toward the pumpkin patch, keeping the kitty some what hidden. Sho had every intention of taking it home with you, and you certainly didn’t have anything against it.
Picking out some pumpkins was easy, you settled for a pretty medium-sized pumpkin while Aizawa picked up something small, able to sit on his desk and not take up too much space so he could still sleep.
Getting the kitten home was Sho’s next top priority, right next to giving you a kiss before it got to crowded again.
Sneaking a kiss on your lips in the middle of the ‘deserted’ pumpkin patch, he kissed you tenderly, stroking the kitten in his arms as he did so.
Returning home, you pulled out the food bowls and filled one with some water and another with kitty food. Thanks to Sho having a habit of bringing home strays and nursing them up, you had quite the collection of cat toys, food, and other random assorted pet items.
“Are we going to name it?” You asked, sitting beside Aizawa on the floor as you watched the kitten eat. 
“You wanna keep it?” Aizawa questioned.
“I think we could handle another one.” You smile as one of your other cats comes pouncing into your lap, resting on your thighs as you pet it’s back.
“Alright then, how about Pumpkin?” The name was cliché but you loved it. Resting your head on Sho’s shoulder, you smiled as you enjoyed the rest of your fall themed evening.

yandere!fanboy!ateez reacts: s/o writing a song about them
This is: requested | I guess....the yandere!ateez as fanboys are a success from what I can see. I only uploaded them without thinking. Also, don’t hesitate to blow up my request box! I’m jobless like Hongjoong, Yeosang and Wooyoung. Also, to the sender who requested this, thank you so much for appreciating my blog and writing! 
Lyrics I placed in order:  Love Battery - LOONA (Immortal Songs)  Shadow - F(x)  Going Crazy - Secret Jieun ft. BAP Yongguk Peekaboo - Red Velvet Shampoo - After School Babe - Hyuna Into You - Yuri Love Foolish - TWICE 
Hongjoong: 
“Even if you are not handsome, I like it. Even if you’re not buff, I like it. You are just for me, to me, you are the best.” 
Hongjoong stood among the crowd with a foolish smile painted on his lips. His hands placed on top of his chest as he listens to your new song that you are performing at your comeback concert. 
“Hold me one more time. Hold me tightly until I burst. Love’s effect must be fading. I need you.” 
A soft sigh escapes his lips dramatically. Lovestuck as he watches the love of his life sing a song about him and how she constantly needed his touch or else she’d die from his lack of attention on her. 
“Fill me with love. Love battery has drained. I can’t live without you, I really can’t live without you. You are my battery.” 
He clutches his chest tightly, his heart beating loudly inside. He didn’t cared how wild the others were cheering for your comeback stage, all that matters to him is that this song was made for him. Just for him. Normally he would promote your songs by requesting them on radio stations, but he hesitated on the idea of promoting it. This was his song. And only he gets the full rights to enjoy it. The others are just listening to it, he thought that you were kind enough to let everyone hear the song you made especially for him. 
“To me, you are everything. I like you so much, I totally like you. My only love, there’s no other, my love. You are the best.” 
As the comeback concert ended, everyone inside the concert hall talked about how your comeback song is a hit and promised to get you another music show win. The others gushed how you must be in love that you wrote a song about affection. 
Hongjoong could only chuckle to himself as he walks out of the venue, hands filled with your individual merchandise and a wallet almost empty after emptying the shelves of your concert goods. 
“Stupid fools think that the song is for them when in fact the song is about me. Me! Only me! Why would Y/N ever notice all of you when a whole me exists?” Hongjoong thought to himself as he walked alone late that night. 
Tumblr media
Seonghwa: 
“Everyday, I secretly chase after your footsteps. I’m always careful so you won’t notice. No one says it but our date has started, our own date.” 
Click click! Seonghwa focuses his camera on a different angle before taking another shot of you. Click click! 
“Where are you going? Step by step, I follow you. Without a word you lead me. Step by step, did you notice me? I have nowhere to hide anymore.” 
Yesterday, Starlight made a comeback and today, they are performing their comeback song at a radio station. For this comeback, Starlight’s Y/N participated in the song writing, having been credited two songs in the mini album. She partook writing the comeback song! 
“When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you. I am really really into you. When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms. I really really like you.” 
Seonghwa’s parents had been praising him for landing a wonderful job in the corporate world. When in reality, he was only hired by a fellow sasaeng that gave him much flexible work hours so he could still manage to slip out of his work and follow your every footstep in the country or out. He was being paid fairly well even when all he did was just to follow you around.
“Day by day, we resemble each other more and more. Your laughter and tears, I know it all. Don’t be scared, were a fate tied by the sun, its our destiny to be together.” 
As the performance ended, the girls sat back down on their seats and the interview rolled in. Fansites can only hang outside of the studio, and of course, Seonghwa is up close, nearest to Y/N. 
“Congratulations to Starlight! This is their third comeback and the song is really catchy!” The MC remarked. 
“It’s sounds like a summer song! I heard Y/N took part in the production?” The second MC asked, the cameras then turned to face Y/N. Y/N who was flustered, nodded her head. “Yes” 
“Can you tell us the story behind the song? Your fans are dying to know the meaning behind such a good song.” The first MC says. 
Y/N held the microphone in her head, smiling, she explained: “This is a true to life song. I made a song about a guy who was really handsome and captured my heart. We were always going in the same direction and one time, his hand brushed into mine. And I felt so happy by the small connection.” Y/N chuckles. 
When Seonghwa heard about it, he lowered his camera and stared at Y/N. The song was about him. He remembered how he would spend his vacant period at work to follow Y/N when they were shooting an ad around Namsan because of the newly built skywalk. His hand brushed on hers when they were buying food at the convenient store. Seonghwa was so moved by the explanation that he felt like his feelings grew more for you. 
“My sunshine likes getting attention. My attention. That’s right, my sunshine, bathe in my attention only. ” 
Tumblr media
Yunho: 
“It’s not love, this isn’t love. It’s just your obsession. Wherever, Whatever I do. It’s frightening. The you who watches me.”
Yunho watched as Y/N practices for her upcoming comeback stage at The Show next week. He admired how she dare approached a bold and mature comeback. And he was so happy to see this new side of his girl. However, he felt like he needed to be more protective of her since she was going for a more risque concept. 
“Have you gone crazy? Why are you like this? Please just leave me alone now. Seeing you is suffocating. Please disappear from my sight.” 
Yunho stood behind the cameras as he watches Y/N and the featured artist practice. He heard a few staffs make a comment about how the featured artist looks like him. And maybe how you might’ve fallen in love with him. Yunho’s feeling swelled when he heard of those comments. In fact, he was so happy that he heard it from them. But you on the other hand, why do you still deny your feelings for him? Why was it so hard for you to be up front and honest with what you feel? Is it because he works as your manager? You’re in the same company as he is? And that you kept insisting to be professional? At this point, Yunho would resign if that was the case. If he can’t have you because of his line of work, he would be more than pleased to resign and be in your arms everyday. 
“Get lost. Just back off. I really can’t breathe. Wherever I go, wherever I am. It’s frightening. The you who follows me.” 
Yunho managed to lift the debts off his family. After paying the debts, he was able to even buy a new home for them around Gangnam area. His parents hesitated on the idea at first since owning a land in Gangnam costs way more than renting, Yunho told them not to worry. Not to worry since he is being paid royalty in his job. After that, he was able to spoil you with luxurious gifts and live with you in your apartment. More like forced himself into your home. 
“This ain’t right, this isn’t love. It just hurts me, don’t be like this. I loved you. But I don’t now. Erase me from your memory.” 
And when the song was released, Yunho was all up for promoting it. He made everyone he know listen to the song in various streaming platforms and watch the MV as well. Whether you would like it or not, Yunho is here to stay in your life. Permanently. 
Tumblr media
Yeosang: 
“Peekaboo! This is new, is this love? All my friends yell at me, they say I have a problem. I’m fine fine fine fine fine fine.” 
A small painted Yeosang lips as his eyes followed you on stage. He watched you as you danced in a tight red dress. That was his gift for you last Christmas to be exact. The designer brand didn’t really put it out for sale. They only made one and had it up for auction. It was a dress that accentuated your curves and complimented your skin. Yeosang won the auction and had it included in your next comeback. 
“Tag you’re it! It’ll be fun! I’ll include you here. Til the moon hangs on the jungle gym, let’s play” 
Since Yeosang is someone who holds a high position in the company, he made a proposal to be your sponsor. At first, your members didn’t like the idea since sponsors have a bad reputation attached to it. But you were naive and still proceeded with the sponsorship. You thought it would go bad, but Yeosang made you feel comfortable in his home and gave you all the fame that you wanted. Never did he once ask anything that was against your morals. 
“Peekaboo! It’s strange, you’re different. I stop this game and I look at you again. I’m not a fraid, because I just felt that a new story will begin” 
Your members were still cautious about Yeosang orbitting around you. There was something about him that they could not lay a finger on. Scared that they would find their contracts terminated the following day. But seeing you happy, they felt like they needed to stop. As long as you are happy, they are happy. Yeosang included. 
“Don’t worry, my love. You’re safe with me. Anyone who accuses you will come to me first.” 
Tumblr media
San: 
It was 9pm when you made a surprise V live alone in the recording room of your company building. San was actually nearby, he was hid inside the convenient store where he bumped into you before. 
“Hello everyone! Have you all eaten? I missed you alot.” He watches his Y/N pout in the screen. His heart raced a bit, 
“I ate already, my love. Don’t worry.” San responds, as if it was only him that you were talking to. 
“I made a new song and I’m in the recording room. Apparently, I was given permission to spoil the song for you!” Y/N happily takes her phone and draws it closer to the company phone of where she is doing her live. 
“I wanna be shampoo Trickling down your hair I wanna embrace you With my strong fragrance  I will wrap around your entire body With white foam  So even the mirrors can’t see you I will cover you  So no one can have you You won’t ever get rid of my scent” 
“That’s all the spoil for now.” Y/N stops the recording and turns the camera to her face again. She leaned her face closer and read a few comments about how would the fans think. 
“What is your inspiration behind this song?” She read aloud. She leaned back in her seat with her lips pursed. “In all honesty, I met a male fan last week. I actually bumped into him and I was able to smell his perfume and...” Y/N paused. “He smelled so good that...was it possible to fall in love just by smelling their perfume?” Y/N chuckles softly. 
San had his eyes wide. The song was about him. He felt like bursting from his seat but he refrained himself from doing so. 
“I hope he isn’t a weird fan. I also have a fan who constantly bothers me even at the late hours. It’s bothering me. And I hope the person stops soon.” Y/N said. Double jackpot! He got mentioned twice by you. He couldn’t wait until the song releases, he was already booking train station platforms in honor for the release of your song. 
Tumblr media
Mingi: 
Was it possible to fall in love with just a touch? Ever since the incident at the Incheon Airport, your company has become stricter and hired more bodyguards when it comes to outside activities. From what you heard, VS Media is even rewriting their rules when it comes to fan and idol gift giving. 
“Come on, let me play some more. Why treat babies gently, I cannot count on you, my age. You’ve walked in any magic. I am the one for you. Everyday I wake up. This is mine.” 
Ever since the incident at the airport, you slightly became uncomfortable with the idea of leaving the dorm. Despite your feelings, rest assured that your members were always there for you. 
“I am not sleeping today. I remember my eyes. I’m not sleeping.”
It’s been a month since you stepped foot inside the airport again, things were going okay. You were able to walk inside and through the gates without any problem. The fans still following your footsteps, you tried to loosen up yourself a bit - smiling and waving at them. Nothing could go wrong. 
Until, you saw a figure from your peripheral vision. You turned your head to take a look, but no one was there. Strange. As you and your group were able to board the plane, you took a seat near the window and pulled out your lyrics notebook. Flipping through the pages, you stopped at an unfinished work. The unfinished work is your solo song used as an outro for Starlight’s upcoming full album. 
“Babe babe babe in your eyes. Babe babe babe in your hand. My appearance is babe babe babe babe. I want to hear it again.”
“Are you writing a song?” You were startled with the question. You turned your head and didn’t noticed how a man with a mask and cap sat besides you already. 
“Yes I am” You spoke softly. “Can I read it?” the man besides you asked. 
You hesitantly gave him the notebook, the man took it and read through the lyrics. 
“I like how you composed the song. It’s still in its raw form too. You’re a genius.” The man complimented. You smiled and thanked him for the compliment. The next thing you knew shocked you. 
The man placed a hand on your knee, his other free hand removed his mask and cap. Song Mingi. At that moment, you couldn’t process what was happening. All you knew was that your mind kept telling you to tell at least your members. But your body started heating up at his touch. 
“Did you miss me?” 
Tumblr media
Wooyoung: 
Wooyoung had disguised himself as the photographer for your album. The night before it came, he worked on creating his fake ID and borrowed a spare camera to use for the production. 
“At that smile that sees my eyes. For me, the whole world is bathed in light. Hold my hands and I close my eyes. I hope this time stops here.”
Wooyoung’s breath almost took away as he saw you in black under shorts and wrinkled and almost unbuttoned white button down. He didn’t know what the concept was but his eyes were already feasting on your body, not ever feeling full. 
“Fall in love more deeply, you and I. Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together. The one thing that I want. You seep into me, you spread inside of me.” 
“Ms Y/N taking the bold move of doing her first sexy concept.” Y/N’s manager teased her. Wooyoung knew everyone who was on set. Him, Y/N, Y/N’s manager, stylist, make up artist and a few production crew that wasn’t part of VS Media. 
“What’s the story behind this concept?” Y/N’s manager asked, Wooyoung could only stare in awe at Y/N. Never did he see this side of her. He always knew of Y/N as the sweet and bubbly girl in soft concepts. But of course, Wooyoung love to break the types. 
“I actually like to search my name on the internet. And I came across fanfics of myself.” Y/N chuckles. Oh that sweet sound that made Wooyoung’s heart beat fast. The audio recorders can never outdo it. 
“There is a certain blog that possibly does a lot. That blog posts photos of me, writes fanfics and posts my schedules too. He’s doing god works for my other fans.” Y/N chuckles. As the production of the photoshoot started, Wooyoung did his best to capture the real beauty of this side of Y/N. 
“What a hardworking fan. What’s the name of the blog?” 
“ForY/N” 
Wooyoung’s eyes widens as he heard the name of his blog. His blog inspired you to make a song....about him? 
“Filling my whole heart. With you, I feel my heart. Fall in love more deeply, you and I. Let’s fall in deeply, you and I together.” 
“The way that person writes really amazes me. I’d like to get to know the person.” Y/N explains. His mind fell into a spiral. Part of him wanted the song to be released already but there was also a part of him that wanted the song to be released for him only. 
“Wish will soon become tomorrow. Today is more heart fluttering than yesterday. I want to go together with you. Closer to the place where my dream reaches.”
The bonus thing about what Wooyoung did today is that as a photographer, he was able to keep some of the photos. Running away even with some. 
Tumblr media
Jongho: 
Jongho fell in line for the release of your album. He was actually second in line as he was actually camping outside of the building of your company. 
“Everyday I called out your name, about a thousand times, about ten million times Before you finally heard it Cut and rewind, why can’t you be mine? Ooh the one who spins my head like this It’s you, just running running running around you  My repeatedly-midnight promise  I don’t know what to do”
Jongho, who had his arms crossed over his chest, looked up and down to turn around where that song was coming from. He hasn’t heard of this song but he knew that was your voice.
“Crazy love!  I love you, love you, hate, foolish Crazy love!  I love you Make me feel so high Love!  I love you, love you, hate, foolish Crazy love!  I hate you Make me so bad It’s weird, the more I fall for you I’m sorry, I’ll hate you I don’t know, I can’t explain this I’m trapped in a labyrinth of strange emotions”
The whole room was adorned with your own merchandise and on the TV display was actually an MV of your b side. Jongho took a basket and grabbed a handful of your limited and regular version of your albums, along with a packet of your photocards and a griptok. 
As he was in line to pay for his orders, in which his basket was filled as he actually bought more of your items. You made a sudden appearance into the room. For Jongho, he felt as if the room got brighter when you suddenly stepped inside. When it was his turn to pay for his items, the people behind the counter were amazed at how many he was able to fit into his basket. 
Tapping his feet impatiently, he wanted to be able to greet you before you left the room. When his bag was handed to him, he immediately took it and sped walk towards your direction, talking to a few. 
He felt as if the gods were with him. As he drew closer to you, the ones you were talking to left and it just you and him now. 
“Hello Y/N!” Jongho greeted. You turned to him happily. “Hello!” 
“I really really like this song of yours!” He gushed happily. “Can you tell me about it?” 
You nodded happily. “The song is actually about someone who makes me feel happy, the idea of love in a dangerous way? The idea send me thrills.” You chuckled. Jongho felt ecstatic. Beyond the moon even. You wrote a song about him! 
That afternoon when he got home, he made sure that everyone in Seoul would be able to hear the song that you made. It was for him so he had full brag rights to do so.

Read the notes on Moonpaw's Archive post with the “But Ao3 has fics with–”, and the responses made me shake my head so dang hard. I'm sure you as a writer who publishes their content on Archive as well you've also gotten the "It's a bad site" asks?
This is way longer than I meant it to be so I apologize in advance.
I got like one comment like a year ago when I said I wouldn’t cross post any of my stuff to wattpad, which for the record i think is a way worse site it terms of design and culture.  It’s completely reasonable to be uncomfortable with underaged RPF.  I’ve got a whole fic in the works exploring how fucked up it can be.  But that doesn’t then mean other authors should leave the site, or readers trying to pressure them into doing so.  The fact of the matter is that AO3 is the best fanfiction site available right now.  The design is straightforward and easy to navigate; it’s a nonprofit so there’s no adds, no data collection, and it takes optional donations instead of being a payed service.  Not to mention the god-tier tagging and filtering system.  I get to live almost exclusively in the Dad Might tag and block out all a/b/o stuff and just generally have a great time in the only corner of the fandom I actually care about.  That shit didn’t win a Hugo award for nothing.
Like I said before, wattpad is terribly designed with basically no filters and has a clout-based culture of trend chasing and tag scumming, both of which fold in on one another and make it difficult to find any fic not in the top 10.  Also, it’s a payed service where several features are locked behind a paywall.
Fanfiction.net has more search and filter options, but is incredibly restrictive, bad at enforcing its own rules, and not transparent about its running in the slightest.  I’m not sure if this is still going on, but fics would just randomly disappear without explanation to the readers or author, sometimes to fics that didn’t even violate the rules but just got a lot of negative attention.  And back when the site first started doing major purges of questionable content, it was the people being most responsible and leaving clear, explicit warnings about their content who got hit the most.  Leaving the assholes who didn’t care about content warnings to kept doing whatever.
I’ve been doing some personal research about fanfiction in the from AO3 era, and I really do not want to go back to that.  Every fandom had dozens of individual fanfic hosting forums, all of which had petty beefs with one another and drama was everywhere.  Infighting was constant.  Reposting was rampant.    Different forums had different requirements for being allowed to even see what was on them.  Just getting your fic seen was a challenge if you weren’t licking some moderator’s boot.  I joined fandom only just after this era came to a close, but there was just enough scorched earth left to make me know this wasn’t the better alternative.
It’s okay to not like some content on AO3.  Heck it’s okay to find that content morally reprehensible.  I know I do.  But I have it blocked.  People can’t expect authors to jump ship to an alternative that isn’t there because questionable content exists in the same place.  AO3 is a platform, and it’s the best one we have.  And I don’t see the people who complain about it leaving twitter and tumblr, even though that exact same content they complain about is there too.

doing research on hq bois and surfing thru sc features (im just now realizing theres quite a bit?? im hoping i address most of them at some point lolol) instead of real life tings aHHhhhHAHA

✧ when you send him videos of him playing, he really focuses on them to try to improve his technique. asks you to send those vids to him (assuming u saved them, which u did)
✧ but when you look over his shoulder when he’s watching a video and give him some compliment (“i recorded at the perfect moment! that was a really good set, kageyama!”), he gets a bit flustered
✧ gets even more flustered but pretty happy whenever you post videos on your story showing karasuno winning some points with captions like:

✧ open to selfies with you, usually wears a calm expression and holds up a peace sign
✧ even occasionally sticks his tongue out

Note
Note; I deeply apologize seeing as this is going to end up being long. Onto the information; My name is Ghost(mainly go by this one), Acid, Killer(more of a nickname), or Gore(more of a nickname). I go by he/they/xe/its, and I'm a dude, MLM and poly so it really doesn't matter much who it is. Born March 31st, being an Aries I'm a very loud and energetic person. I'm also very impulsive and get myself into deep shit, even if I don't realize I'm doin' it. I get overly loud when the topic is about something I enjoy or is into, if I try flirting on purpose it's ass but when I do it without realizing I get called a huge flirt. Big music and art geek, I have sketchbooks upon sketchbooks filled just sitting around in my room. I listen to a lot of rock like Queen, Guns N Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, ACDC, Nickelback, KISS, Slipknot, KoRn, and on and on. Although I listen to every genre of music minus country(although there are few songs I can deal with). Big tattoo/piercing person, if you have one visible I will point it out and geek out about it. Although literally don't ask me to name a few songs unless I've been rambling on about it because I have the shittiest memory. I dye my hair so often it's surprising my hair is still healthy. I have literally bleached my hair, dyed it red and let that fade for a week, then dyed it blue and have been touching up the blue ever since then. If it wasn't due to money problems and the fact it's hard to borrow in my town my hair would probably have my hair a different color every two weeks. I ramble quite a bit and have the shittiest focus and memory, so you may have to pull me to the side and tell me to calm down. Would definitely compliment on the boys looks, specially their outfits. I'm a coffee and monster addict at this point, you'll see one or the other in my hand, and the occasional water bottle because I try to keep myself health. My love language is through touch and insulting people. Ex, "I fucking love you dumbass" or flipping you off playfully as a way of saying "i love you bitch". Smoking doesn't bother me, grew up around it my entire life. I love riding on motorcycles, no matter the weather, is it cold asf, nice idgaf, is it raining, shit lets go. I have a bad(good in some people's eyes) of using petnames/nicknames for everyone. Everyone has a wholesome petname from me and then I'll call them a whore or some shit. I cuss too much for my own good, I literally don't have a filter in my entire body. I will impulsively say shit, sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing. Due to my anxiety I try to stay away from large crowds, but if I'm in them (aka on the boardwalk) I will have music blaring in my ears and my ears glued into my current sketchbook. Although I currently don't have them, I'm going to add them anyways because I'm going to end up getting them when I have the money to go to a piercer or to get a kit. I want a shit ton of piercings. Such as snake bites(lip piercing), tongue, septum, all of the piercings finished on my ears, and bridge. I've stated once I'm a big tattoo geek, so I want a quite a bit of those. I'm definitely a big "oh let's do it myself" person, and I have tried giving myself a septum piercing. (it would've worked if it wasn't for the fact I did it too low to be able to flip it up to hide it) I love the adrenaline of fights, it doesn't matter if I win or loose, although I do prefer if I win. I literally get the most random urge to fight someone for the hell of it. Probably has something to do with impulsive thoughts and shit, but oh well. I'm a big respect person, I live by the motto "you respect me, I'll respect you". I have blackouts sometimes due to rage and anxiety, so I try to keep myself from having them. I have a bad habit of rambling and saying sorry too much. I tend to repeatedly say sorry whilst rambling as I tend to get overly excited and loud when I ramble. I'm a very talkive person if I know and trust you. If you're around me and you don't get your ear talked off or messed with, you're probably not liked or
you need to leave. It's one easy way you'll be able to tell if I get along with you or not. I kinda have a whatever/punk/alt style, a lot of time I just grab something decent and throw it on. Although you'll always see me wearing a belt and my platform shoes. I'm 5'0, so my obsession with platforms grew because of my need to be tall. I wear a lot of baggy clothing, I'm definitely more of a comfort over style person.
Ok, my dude, I'll definitely pair you with...
Marko and Paul
Oh, man, you three are gonna be some threesome (and not necessarily in the sexual way lol)
Just imagine THE MESS
The boys think you're adorable when you get into the romantic mood and try to flirt but end up saying bad pick-up lines, so they'll laugh, but will twirl their hair as whoerish as possible and follow the game. Or they would get on with their manly act and fight to see who will flirt back better.
Now, the chatting will be so goddamn long! You three will go on 4 hour-long conversations that'll get from a "look at this new t-shirt I got" to "so that's why Ronald Reagan was an alien". The worst part is left to the spectators like David or Dwayne since none of you three will be the sane individual and shut y'all up.
The blondes like your drawing, and ask you to draw them or random stuff and people CONSTANTLY, so you'll have many opportunities to improve your skills and try with different models. When they happen to find some of your sketchbooks, they try to impress you or simply give a small present by drawing you or something you like, or at least make the attempt since some of the "fine pieces" as they call them, they give you are like children's school projects.
And, man, about the hair, are you blessed to have the glam diva Paul by your side to give advice and constructive criticism to your hair. He will help you choose the color and will give it style from time to time if you accept. The process to dye it will be so much fun, and so chaotic; experimenting with the pigments ends up with wounds caused from the bleach and the currently used wardrobe disposed later.
A thing they love about you is that you can stand up for yourself if needed, but they rather you not to, because they know you handle yourself and the others well, maybe too well for your good. Paul tries to take care of you as much as he can so there is no need for you to possibly get hurt. It was enough trying to control Marko so he didn't get involved in some stupid street fight every night at the boardwalk to now have to worry daily about you too. Marko shares the passion for the adrenaline of this and will think it is hot as hell, but he protects you as much as Paul, maybe a bit softer than him about it tho, but if you're in the middle of a fight and it starts to get worse than expected, he dead ass will force you to back off. He'll finish the business himself, sweetheart.
As for your love language, don't worry, these dorks will accept you playful pushes with joy, and they'll give you some of them too. But if you accidentally flip and fall some meters before hitting ground, you know the rule: laugh first, help second.
Oh, and you better get prepared for the bullying. You're the smallest in the group, so that leads to a constant attack as a hobbit. Marko joins the quip, but I mean, he'll get humiliated along. Let's just say Paul gives you two a hard time about it. With all the love of course.
They love to get out with you and the others and go to the boardwalk, but they try to take you out on days it is not that crowded, or in hours where a small amount of souls are having a stroll. But, if you happen to go out on a crowded night, they will keep you focused on having a good time, but just mention your getting uncomfortable and you'll be back at the cave in less than a minute.
Paul and Marko really love your style, they think it looks badass and try to match tough outfits with you from time to time. Giving you cool shirts and leather jackets with some patches on them that they think are awesome. Don't ask why some of the clothes have strange-colored stains on them tho.
They go with you to get you ears or nose pierced from the moment you three decided doing it diy style was a bad idea cuz y'all ended up with a bleeding nose and an ear infection the first time of trying it, and because there's no voice of reason in the threesome, Star and Dwayne had to give you kids a very long lecture of not doing those things by yourself.

> Dirk: Regress
Fandom: Homestuck
Characters: Dirk Strider, mentions of Roxy and Jake
Words: 2,750
Summary: Dirk is an age regressor. (It’s a rough day but it’s easier as a four-year-old.)
Warnings: Isolation, body dysmorphia/dysphoria (unspecified), self-sacrificing ideals, one cuss word, mention of storms. 
(Note: I’ve had a few people notice that I usually write from caregiver perspectives for agere fanfiction! I struggle with putting my experience of regression into words, in a way that I don’t with my caregiver experiences. I still enjoy writing reader-insert fanfiction that deviates from my personal experience of regression, but this is my best attempt at communicating the way that I regress.) 
Tumblr media
> Dirk: Regress
Your name is Dirk Strider, and some days it’s not worth claiming that you aren’t lonely.
Filling the hours of a day is routine by this point: there’s reprogramming to be done, and new scripts to be written, and fanfiction that you absolutely don’t post online under miscellaneous pseudonyms. There are fights to win and fights to lose and moments when you just throw yourself into the water and let yourself float there until the sun is too bright against your eyelids.
But some days just refuse to pass. Nothing feels like it’s really happening, and none of your friends answer your messages, and you refuse to message again because that would be desperate. Even with four centuries’ worth of internet videos, it feels like there’s nothing to watch, and the walls are closing in with the endless ocean stretching outside. You should be able to fill this day because it’s only as empty as every other day on this abandoned planet, but somehow time seems incapable of passing.
Today seems to be one of those days, and you’ve retreated to the roof to sit and watch the waves. The sun is too warm, and you’ll probably end up with a painful sunburn, but it’s worth it to be away from the wires and screens that remind you of the work you aren’t doing and the friends who aren’t responding.
For some reason this view always seems to feel new, despite the hundreds of days you’ve spent pacing on this roof, fighting on this roof, bleeding on this roof. Something about the sky’s ever-shifting shades and the way the ocean rolls far beneath you. Something about the seagulls that flutter down from the sky to rest their wings, or maybe the wind in your hair and the way it ruffles your clothes, the closest thing you have to human touch.
You close your eyes and lean your chin on your knees, breathing in ocean air that tastes like salt and smoke. You’ve always assumed that the bad smell is an effect of whatever technology the Batterwitch used to flood the planet, but maybe the air on Earth has always been horrible.
The heat is heavy in the air today, which means there might be a storm brewing. The apartment is always the worst during storms, listening to the rusted supports groaning in the wind and wild waves. Sometimes you wonder if you’ll even make it to the fabled game, or if the ocean will just swallow you one day with none of your friends the wiser.
You feel ready to settle in for an afternoon of grade-A moping, but part of you doesn’t agree. Part of you feels like enjoying the sunlight, or going for a swim. That sounds nice, if you’re being honest, but you doubt that you could enjoy anything today. Part of your mind will always be thinking about the messages you’re waiting for, the hours you have to fill, and the fact that tomorrow will be exactly the same as today, and how will you be able to deal with that when today seems so endless?
That excited part of you is insistent, though. It really wants to run around and play, which is an instinct that seems foreign. You mentally inspect the desire, trying to decide if it’s a sign that you’re finally giving up your tenacious grasp on sanity. The more you pay attention to it, the more tempting it feels. Just let go for a while.
There’s an energy in the desire that moves into your body, replacing the lethargy of moping. Your limbs feel ready for climbing, for swimming, for exploring a ruined world stretching around you that you usually prefer to ignore. Maybe it would be nice, to let whatever off part of you this is take the helm for a while. It feels like it might be already happening, and you’re too tired to fight it off. You let the part of yourself that’s moping curl in on itself, finding a little corner of your mind to continue its lethargic musings.
And then you open your eyes and push yourself to your feet.
---->
Your name is Dirk Strider, you are approximately four years old, and the ocean looks incredibly blue.
You feel silly for all the moping you were doing before, and for wasting such a beautiful day. You really want to take off your clothes and get into the water, but a loud part of your brain won’t stop telling you that jumping from this high up is a really bad idea.
Your brain is stupid. You head down from the roof, slamming the door behind you to show that you’re upset about not getting to jump into the waves. Your shoes are discarded carelessly, shirt and sunglasses and pants dropped along the way. Your body is funny, not quite right and not quite wrong. It stops you for a second, and you poke your stomach, hold up your hands. The fingers are unfamiliar. This is your body, isn’t it? Why doesn’t it feel right?
You shrink away from the thoughts, but the part of your brain that’s enjoying its rest pushes you back into awareness before you can get away. Apparently you’re not allowed to stop being here, so you guess that you might as well enjoy it. Away with the body thoughts! You’re getting distracted from the real goal, which is to be in the nice cool water as soon as possible.
Once you’re free of uncomfortable clothes, you patter down a set of stairs where the walls give way to the rusted internal structure of the apartments that used to be below your home. The stairs stop at a metal platform that you remember constructing, the heat of the blowtorch and the glow of the sparks. The memory fits and it doesn’t fit, so you shrug it away as you swing over the platform onto a ladder that leads down to the water.
Halfway down the ladder you know that you’re close enough to the water that it won’t hurt to jump, so you push yourself away from the ladder and let yourself free-fall.
You hit the water feet-first and it envelops you. You can feel the air bubbles combing through your hair, rippling on the bottoms of your feet, the last bit of the above-water world clinging to you. You let yourself drift until there’s only you and the faint ocean currents pushing around you, peaceful and quiet. You wish you could stay here forever, but you can feel your lungs starting to hurt. You have to kick for a few seconds before you break the surface, sucking in a deep breath as soon as the air touches your face. The sun is too warm, and you stick your tongue out in its direction. Stupid sun.
You swim in the direction of one of the nearest buildings that sticks above the water, enjoying the sound of your legs kicking through the waves. The ocean is mostly calm today, and you can hear the seagulls crying up above you. You navigate your way through the familiar landmarks of rubble and ruin, switching from front crawl to elementary backstroke as your energy rises and falls. Your apartment towers above you, casting a shadow on the water. You think about painting something on the side of it, trying to liven up the plain grey concrete, but that seems like a thought for another day.
It takes a few minutes of swimming to reach the nearest neighboring apartment building, and you pull yourself out of the water onto a shore of concrete.  There isn’t much interesting here, mostly crumbling bricks beginning to reveal the girders underneath. The roof has collapsed in on itself in slabs of concrete that you can pick your way across, avoiding the freshest evidence of seagull passerby. A plant has somehow made its home in one of the sections of brick, some kind of weed with jagged leaves and long tendrils seeking more dirt. One of the birds probably brought it from some faraway patch of land, high enough to avoid the flooding.
You stare at the bright green of its leaves, aware that it must be one of the only living things in the surrounding area. In the end, though, it’s impossible to resist picking it out of the wall, the tendrils clinging desperately to the rough bricks as you separate it from its home.
It’s rubbery in your hands, and you dig your fingernails into the leaves to watch the darker green show up in half-crescents where you tore the skin. You wrap the stem around your fingers, admiring the colour. You think about eating it, moving it towards your mouth, but there’s a mental feeling of someone smacking your hand and you drop the plant with a frown. Your brain is too busy and dumb.
You pick up the plant and move it into a patch of sunlight, hoping that it’ll get eaten by another passing bird. Then its seeds can go somewhere else, maybe even on the roof of your house.
You dive back into the water, daydreaming about having a jungle grow on the roof of your house, the roots becoming part of the apartment walls and the leaves changing colour like you’ve seen in TV shows.
---->
The afternoon passes in a delirious blur of sun and splashing, laughing at your own voice and trying to climb one of the supports of your apartment building before finding the metal too hot from the sun.
Eventually, you pull yourself out of the water and climb up the ladder one rung at a time. You take a last look at the rippling water as you open the door and step into the concrete stairwell up to your apartment.
The inside is dark and cool in contrast to the sun-heated world outside, and you begin to shiver as you make your way into your room. An old towel is in the laundry pile, so you scoop it up and use it to dry yourself off. It smells a little musty, but it does the job fine. The feeling of not-right-not-wrong hits you again as you dry off, and you push it aside more easily this time. Not your problem, and you’re starting to have the feeling that you won’t be here for long. It seems silly to worry about it with the little time you have left.
You get dressed in the nicest clothes you can find: there’s a shirt that seems way too big, and you pull it on before looking at what’s on the front. It’s a silly design with wobbly lines that you can’t put together from upside down, and the shirt hangs almost to your knees. It feels cozy, and you add a pair of boxers to the outfit before deciding it’s good enough for lazing around.
The bed is soft and springy and you settle onto it with a sigh, shoving a pillow into the corner to lean on. The day has been fun, but your shoulders are tired from the swimming and your head hurts from all the sunlight. You snag a pair of sunglasses from the table beside your bed, careful with the points as you fit them onto your face. The world gets darker and you relax, grabbing the nearest soft thing to hold. It’s Hella Jeff in his silly coloured onesie and you laugh at his big eyes, widening your own in an attempt to mimic his expression.
Your tablet is difficult to fish out from under the mattress while you’re sitting on it, and once you turn it on it makes a lot of loud noises at you until you exit the window that was open. My Little Pony is easy to find, and you pull up one of the early episodes before propping the tablet against your feet so that you can watch it while hugging your Hella Jeff plushie and maybe resting your eyes a bit.
You can feel the rest of your brain perking up as soon as the theme song comes on, but it’s your episode to enjoy, so you push everything to the back and sing along with Pinkie Pie, and if you fall asleep before the second episode is over, then there’s no one to tell you it’s too early to sleep and who cares about time anyways.
> Dirk: Wake Up.
You wake up in a tangle of blankets, with your shades half-off and poking into the pillow, and Hella Jeff’s ass in your face. You push him off grumpily and sit up in bed. It’s late, and you fell asleep with the light off, so your room is dark aside from the flashing lights from the various panels scattered on the desks.
You’re hungry, and still groggy from the unexpected nap, and the afternoon feels like a distant dream that could have happened to someone else. You try to prompt that same sense of excitement, the eager curiosity that had taken over for the day, but it feels utterly foreign to your mind. You physically poke yourself, as if that will make the mood re-emerge and take over, but it only makes you very aware that you’re wearing one of your old sleep shirts that you stopped wearing when you were about twelve. You pull it off with an irritated sound, and roll out of bed. Your pounding head demands food and water, and you haven’t checked your messages in seven hours.
The glasses you’re wearing don’t have build-in screens, so you swap them out for another pair once you’ve pulled on a t-shirt that actually fits and shoved some jeans over your boxers. Sure enough, Roxy has finally gotten back to you, and fairly recently.
You start responding to her message as you poke around the cupboards for something that you won’t have to cook. She’s messaged something benign, but you know that she knows that you know that she hasn’t been doing well or she would have messaged back sooner. Hopefully she’s feeling better, but you know from experience that she’s more likely messaging you to start an ill-conceived fight that she can use to rationalize her bad mood and self-isolation.
Having friends is exhausting. You find some packaged ramen and head back to your room, planning to just crush it up and eat it while you finish the episode that you fell asleep half-way through. Roxy is talking again, her words a blur of badly-spelled pink across your vision, and you already feel tired from the conversation. You miss Jake, and how easy he is to please. He won’t be back for another two days, out on some sort of island quest that takes him out of network range. You hope that he’s doing okay out there.
You settle into bed again, sparing a frown at your Hella Jeff plushie as if he was to blame for the entire situation. You hook up your tablet remotely to the TV so that you can properly hear it, and settle in to multitask for the night. This is what you wanted, something outside of yourself to focus on, someone else’s problems to solve, something to fill the hours for you.
But even as you start dissecting the things that Roxy isn’t saying, you find yourself craving that effortless enjoyment you’d felt that afternoon, the way your head had tilted up to the sunlight as if it was a second nature. You have a job to do, to keep everyone on track for a future that only you and Roxy know is waiting. But maybe one day, after everything was over and the game was won, you could take a longer break. Maybe there would be a new world for you to explore, and it would be better than the endless ocean of ruins.
For now, you wrap your arms around yourself and do your best to help Roxy communicate how she’s feeling. Your friends come first, and the future comes later.
