#i wanted to do a supernatural au but all the prompts on tumblr were like nope

[ugh-yoongi]

Jewel, I know your requests are closed but I desperately need to hear your thoughts on who in BTS would do this: https://www.tumblr.com/writing-prompt-s/739417828719034368/you-a-powerful-demoness-have-just-been-summoned

and why is it Namjoon (the potential for crack with this 148 IQ man who is also way more innocent than we think acc to one park jimin just takes me out)

i'm so sorry it took me so long to finish and post this but thank you so much for sending it bc i have been cackling about this scenario ever since.

the prompt: you, a powerful demoness, have just been summoned to earth. this man, this human, wants you to pretend to be his girlfriend for a few days so his parents will get off his back about it.

the gang summons a demon

pairing: namjoon x f. reader genre: supernatural au; crack warnings: reader is a demon and engages in demon behavior, swearing, namjoon makes mention of not being straight, heteronormative parental expectations, jk learns about arcane things on tumblr (which is not an original idea; i read a fic ages ago where taekook are tumblr witches but i cannot find it, so credit to that author or whoever came up with it first), unedited so any mistakes are mine. rating: e for everyone wordcount: 2k

It’s been years since you’ve been to Earth—even longer since you’ve been to South Korea.

“I haven’t been here since 1910,” you say, staring at the gobsmacked man across from you. He’s tall, with tanned skin and a bleached buzz cut; a smattering of tattoos dotting his toned arms—whites and rich hues of blue, imitations of some kind of ceramic art, you think; a golden hoop through his nose; cheeks with dimples so deep you’re sure they’ll crater. “People here definitely didn’t look like you back then, so I’m going to assume we’re pretty far into the future.”

“It’s 2024,” he answers, seemingly still a little dazed. He’s staring at you with wide eyes, jaw dropped. Normally it’s nice to be looked at like that, with all the reverence and awe you deserve, but Earth is not your favorite place to be. Doesn’t even crack the top fifty, if you’re being honest. “Did you say 1910? As in the beginning of the—”

You sigh. “Uh-huh. Hey, if you wouldn’t mind hurrying this up, I’ve got things to do.” The man continues staring. Could be a trick of the light, but you think he’s turning paler by the second.

Minutes tick by. Nothing but silence.

“Are you even listening to me?” you snarl, quickly losing patience you were never given. “I said I’ve got shit to do. My schedule’s booked solid for the next eight centuries, so I really don’t have time to be dilly-dallying in mundane human affairs. Your problems are always so boring.”

More silence.

Which is irksome, sure, but what’s worse is this stupid fucking circle you’re trapped in. Drawn crudely on the floor of (seemingly) this human man’s actual apartment, which would’ve told you all you’d needed to know, if you’d taken ten seconds to take in your surroundings upon first being summoned. This place has got books stacked floor to ceiling in every available inch of space, but you’re certain this person is a fucking idiot.

“Hello?”

The man shakes his head. “Oh, sorry, I just—I’m Namjoon? Kim Namjoon.”

“I don’t care.”

“Right, right.” He sucks in a deep breath. “Well, you’re probably wondering why I summoned you here today”—you roll your eyes—“and, uh.” Namjoon scratches at the back of his neck, anxiety oozing from every pore on his body. Definitely paler. “I am too, to be honest.”

“You what—”

“I didn’t mean to!” Namjoon hurriedly adds, all of that anxiety shifting quickly into pure panic. “It’s just—it was a joke! Mostly! Jeongguk said it as a joke, because everything he says is a joke, and I should’ve known that, but—I don’t know! I’ve tried everything else, and the longer its gone on the more desperate I’ve become, and suddenly what Jeongguk said as a joke didn’t sound so much like a joke anymore! I’m sorry! I didn’t think it’d actually work!”

It takes your brain a minute to translate and decipher the useless slush that just came out of his mouth, but when it does… oh, when it does, you feel absolutely murderous. “You summoned me as a joke?”

Namjoon must see it, too. There’s no way you’re looking cool, calm, and collected right now, because you’ve seen the faces of others that have witnessed your wrath, and they were almost always on the brink of (if not outright) shitting their pants. This stupid, clueless human in front of you doesn’t appear to be faring much better.

So you continue, just to watch him squirm. “Do you have any idea who I am?”

“Um,” comes his brilliant response. “Yes?”

“And who am I?”

He holds up his pointer finger and digs through the back pocket of his jeans. Pulls out a crumbled scrap of paper, nearly soiled from ass sweat and time, and his eyes squint as he tries to read it. “I—well, it’s probably not an accurate translation, you know, since—”

“What does that piece of parchment say, Kim Namjoon?”

“Nothing,” he lies. “I can’t read it anyway, so… a-haaa…”

Patience officially worn thin, you snap your fingers, delighting in the startled shriek that escapes him as the paper goes up in a plume of smoke. “I am going to give you one chance to be honest with me,” you explain slowly, leveling him with a look. “Who do you think I am, and why am I here?”

Namjoon pales further. Looks like he’s trying to melt right through the floor into a puddle of useless slush, and you’d be more than willing to speed up the process if it weren’t for this god forsaken demon trap.

“Can I—can I sit down for this?”

Kim Namjoon, you learn, has a friend named Jeon Jeongguk.

Jeon Jeongguk, you also come to learn, has learned magic from a website called Tumblr.

“There, uh. There are definitely blogs for that sort of thing,” Namjoon explains, tattooed fingers scratching at the back of his neck. He takes a very quick glance at you. “Clearly not very accurate ones.”

You hum. “That’s the only smart thing I’ve heard you say since I showed up in this shithole.”

Namjoon gawks. “Hey, my apartment isn’t a shithole! It’s the best I could afford, alright? There was just an article in The Business Times about how archaic of a system jeonse is—”

“Uh-huh. And this… website?”

Namjoon goes red. Coughs into his fist. “Oh, right, yeah. I’m gonna be honest with you—”

“I already said that—”

“—my parents are coming to visit from Ilsan in a few days and I need a girlfriend.”

You blink. Once, twice, three times. Long enough to replace the rug that had been pulled from under you, because you’re pretty sure you heard this human man allude to having summoned you so you can pretend to be his girlfriend.

All things considered, you’re impressed by how calm you are. This is not a trait most demons have, you especially, and it makes you nostalgic for the days you used to rip men apart limb by limb for less.

“Are you insane?” you ask simply.

“In my defense,” he explains around a wince, “Jeongguk said it was a love spell.”

“A love spell.” Namjoon nods. “And you wound up summoning a demon.”

“It… appears I may have done that, yes.”

“And you want a demon to meet your parents?”

“I mean… when in Rome, right?”

“I’ve committed at least four-hundred and sixty-seven separate atrocities there, so no, probably not when in Rome.”

Namjoon’s jaw drops. He tucks his knees closer to his chest. “Christ, that’s a lot. How did you have the time?”

“I’m immortal,” you deadpan.

“Right, right. Anyway, to answer your question: yes.”

Your eyes narrow. “How bad are your parents that you’d want me to meet them?”

“They’re fine, mostly. I just… am not what they expected in a son? Like, I have the hair and the tattoos and I dropped out of my engineering program in university to pursue art and poetry, so the least I could do is find a wife and settle down and give them grandchildren, but I don’t even know if I want to ever settle down. I’m also not… heterosexual? Entirely? Do you see that a lot—”

You sigh. “Misconception. Not to launch you into some kind of existential crisis, but the gods really don’t give a shit who you humans sleep with.”

“Gods? As in plural?” You snap your fingers. Namjoon’s fingers immediately go to his temples. “Damn, I have a really bad migraine all of a sudden.”

“Yeah, that was me.”

“What’d you do?”

“Made you forget something.”

“Oh. What’d I forget?” It takes a second. “Oh, right, yeah. Um. What was the last thing I said?”

“Your parents wanted you to be an engineer and have a ton of kids but you like art and also not-women, sometimes.”

He flushes again. “I—yes.”

You sigh, arms crossed over your chest. All you want to do is sit down, or open a window. This apartment smells far too strongly of patchouli. “Look, I haven’t been to this place in a long time, but surely you aren’t undesirable by your society’s standards.”

“Are you saying I’m attractive?”

You scowl. “No. I’m saying there had to have been easier ways of doing this, and also can you open a window?”

“It’s February.”

“That means nothing to me.”

“It’s really cold outside.”

“I’m literally from Hell. Go put on a sweater, then.”

With a roll of his eyes, Namjoon stands and moves to the window. Cracks it open a millimeter, just enough for the cold to seep in, before he’s stalking off toward—you’re assuming—his bedroom. You think he’s shoving a garment over his head when he calls out, “You know, you’re really fucking bossy for someone stuck in a trap.”

You vow to kill him as soon as you’re free.

It isn’t often you’re held hostage.

Usually you can spot a trick coming a thousand miles away, but since Namjoon hadn’t meant to summon you at all, you’d been caught unawares. Doomed to be stuck in a demon trap, just like he’d said, which meant you didn’t have a ton of bargaining power.

At least that’s what you’re telling yourself, because as you sit across from Namjoon’s parents at some fancy restaurant, you aren’t convinced he isn’t a crossroads demon himself.

“So,” his mother begins, turning her attention to you, “what do you do for work?”

Namjoon elbows you beneath the table, giving you a silent warning to stick to the script. You’re only here under threat of force—because Jeongguk had stopped by Namjoon’s apartment, saw you in the summoning circle, and nearly fainted before going back to Tumblr to find a binding spell.

Except that one wasn’t great, either, because it only bound you and Namjoon together for three days instead of forever. And, as penance for all the chaos you’ve sown across the universe, Namjoon’s parents’ visit fell within that time frame, so here you are.

Out to dinner. With humans.

You’re pretending to be someone’s girlfriend.

You’re in for the most embarrassing ribbing of your existence once you’re home.

“I work with idols,” you respond, as convincingly as possible, because Namjoon had thought it’d be really funny. Get it? he’d said. Like false idols? You hadn’t laughed. “It’s very secretive, of course, but—”

You don’t finish your thought, because Namjoon’s mother looks delighted: face lit up with mirth, smile blinding, eyes half-lidded under the weight of her happiness. “Oh, how exciting! Has he told you he used to do performances to old H.O.T songs? Namjoonie, what was that one song you liked—”

“Eomma, please—”

“Wasn’t it ‘Candy’?” Namjoon’s dad offers from behind his menu. It’s the first thing he’s said all evening.

Namjoon whimpers, foregoing all social decorum and lectures on posture to sink further in his chair.

You do not, under any circumstances, feel a hint of fondness.

(Which dissipates not even twenty-four hours later.

“The blog was deleted,” Jeongguk says, eyes wide as saucers. “I—the blog is gone, I don’t know how to—”

“What do you mean the blog is gone?” The poor kid is overcome with panic and fear, tries to stutter out a response that makes no sense to you at all through his sobs. “Jeon Jeongguk, what do you mean the blog is gone?”

“I—it’s—I had it bookmarked, I swear! Once the binding spell wore off I was gonna send it to Namjoon hyung so he could send you back, but the blog is gone so the post is gone, too. I don’t—what do I even search for—oh my god, please don’t kill me, I think I’m having a panic attack, I’m gonna—”

And then this human man vomits all over your feet. Namjoon sighs as he goes to fetch a bucket, and you think it’ll be a miracle if any of these people—yourself included—live to see the end of the week.)

Ali's Masterpost

Welcome to my masterpost! Nice to see you ❤️

Where to find me?

twitter and ao3

My Tumblr prompts, microfics and ficlets are here.

On-Going Fics

you're under my skin (burning in my bloodstream)

steddie | rockstar au | explicit | 40k+ | 3/7

Read it Here Steve's not sure why he keeps betting on things with Robin when he knows he's going to lose. Except this time the bet ends up with him getting his nipple pierced and it seems like the guy who's about to run a needle through his skin is hotter than Steve expected and he's having trouble keeping it together. But after a charged first encounter, Steve has no way to get in touch with Eddie and thinks he lost his chance until he runs into him in the most unexpected of places and finds out Eddie is a lot more than Steve initially thought. OR; Eddie gives Steve a piercing and Steve is clueless about his true identity.

If I fall for you, I'll never recover

steddie | supernatural elements | explicit | 30k+ | 7/10

Read it Here Befriending Dustin Henderson and the party come with the added bonus of weekly family dinners at Steve Harrington's house, of all people. Eddie expects him to be a jerk but he is not. He's actually... Nice? It's a shock for him, too All of a sudden, it's like Steve is everywhere. It's like Eddie fits in with them in a way he never did before, and it feels nice, even if Steve is super territorial about the people he cares about. Eddie just didn't think he would ever be one of them. He also didn't think he would care so much about Steve. On some nights he even thinks this crush of his might be something else. Something that dangerously looks like love.

Completed fics under the cut

Steve Harrington's (not so) Secret Advent Calendar

steddie | christmas themed | explicit | 19k | One-Shot

Read It Here What do you mean friends don’t make friends super elaborated Advent Calendars just for the sake of it? Or; Eddie and Steve had been fooling around for a year when Steve decided it was time to make a move and make things official in the form of 24 presents right before Christmas.

To-Do: Eddie Munson

steddie | Modern AU | explicit | 14k | 4/4

Read it Here Steve started sending his to-do lists to famous rockstar Eddie Munson as sort of an inside joke. It wasn't like Eddie would ever look at the DMs from a no-one called Steve Harrington. Right? Or; Steve's been using Eddie Munson's DMs as his personal notes up until the day Eddie actually replies to him.

The World Ends With You

steddie | Apocalypse AU | Explicit | 70k | 13/13 | Steddie BigBang #019

Read it Here After the world ended and the undead creatures were everywhere, Steve Harrington survived by isolating himself. Completely alone in a house, he barely knows what to do when someone breaks in. Injured and alone, Eddie Munson slowly wins Steve’s trust as they navigate surviving together in the middle of the Apocalypse and their relationship grows into something Steve can’t quite understand. But just as he has his share of secrets, Eddie has some of his own and this might be enough to get in the way of whatever they were building together.

Just a Lost Boy (not ready to be found)

steddie | Stripper AU | Explicit | 90k | 12/12

Read it Here Steve desperately needed an out. He couldn't handle his own life anymore, he needed to leave everything he'd ever known behind. And yet, he couldn't. His husband wouldn't let him leave like that. Not when Steve felt like a prize to him, something to be owned. And Steve didn't have the money to leave him because he'd been dumb and trusting and in love. And then, there's Eddie. Who might be just another client but he makes Steve feels things and Steve doesn't want to fucking feel anything right now. He just wants to leave. OR; Stripper Steve meets Eddie at work and Eddie can be precisely what Steve needs. Can offer him the chance of leaving his own life behind, if Steve plays his cards right.

And then, unfortunately, Aaron has an idea. The idea itself is almost not worth having. It is deeply unethical. It is the opposite of ‘do no harm,’ and it is not even guaranteed to work. Aaron actually thinks that this idea might be worse for his license than performing illegal care on a probable criminal in a back alley in the dark. No, Aaron thinks, it is undeniably worse. “You’re a survivor,” Aaron repeats. “You should already be dead, but you’re not. You should pass out sometime in the next few minutes, but I’m guessing you won’t.” Aaron squares his shoulders, makes himself say the words. “If I give you an address, can you get there? •• An AU where Aaron is a doctor, Andrew is FBI, and Neil’s gone rogue against the mafia.

Now for Prompt Examples + Explanations 

I’ve had people ask for prompt examples in past events I’ve hosted and this event is open to any language, so here you go! These are the quick brainstorming notes (now expanded with links & definitions) I took while narrowing down the list to be sure the final prompts were unique enough / without toooo much overlap, and covered enough areas. Only some of maaaany interpretations—go wild!

Your host is a fic-writer with ADHD, so…you’ve been warned.

Day 1: 

Pumpkin Spice: Cozy Autumn vibes. Putting up Halloween decorations, carving Jack-o-lanterns, coffee / tea shop, pumpkin patch, scented candles, baking, fall sangria, sweaters and beanies and flannels, momijigari (Autumn Hanami 🌸, basically) / admiring gorgeous fall foliage, fresh hot apple cider in an orchard. Itoshi Bros and their love of turtle/mock-neck sweaters. Pumpkin Farmer Aiku and Karasu scarecrow!

Do you believe in magic?: Revealing their magical powers for the first time. Crystal ball, tarot. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. AU. Non-literal magic in relationships (feeling understood, chemistry, humor matching up perfectly, etc). Wands, spells, magical objects, magical creatures, etc.. Making a wish. Alexis "The Magician" Ness.

-

Day 2:

Masks: Costumes, super heroes, putting up a front, acting like something you’re not, classic masked Halloween meet-cute, secret / concealed identities, spies, ninja and samurai and assassins (Karasu and Otoyaaa!) Niko hiding his eyes / face.

Heartbeat: Racing heart from excitement, fright, romance, spice. No heartbeat like undead, zombie or vampire, etc.. Skip a beat, beat faster, beat slower (calm and comfort). Chigiri on the run from zombies, zombie Lorenzo!

-

Day 3: 

Things that go bump in the night: unexplained (scary or otherwise) noises in the night, whispers or voices, ghosts and other supernatural entities, haunted house / place, anything scary, …spicy. Spooky Owl outside Rin’s window. 

Festival: String lights illuminating festival stalls, costumes, traditional attire (Aryu looking stylish!), food and drink, games, Isagi devouring fried fair food. Fall Music festival. Mid-Autumn Festival (with all the pretty lanterns and mooncakes 🥮), Harvest / Fall Fests in general. Bobbing for apples, caramel / candy apples, carnival rides and games, Ferris wheel. Oktoberfest; Kaiser and/or any Bastard München player in Lederhosen—please, I’m begging!! Fun house / haunted house. Day of the Dead festivities. 

-

Day 4:

Firelight: Cauldrons, brewing potions. Candles, rituals, bonfires. Autumn camping trip, s’mores, spooky firelight shadows outside the tent, got lost on a hiking trip & have to make a fire to keep warm! Torches, candles, lanterns lighting the way in a definitely not-haunted place. Hell, your favorite circle (Dante’s Inferno) 😈

Dark Waters: merpeople, sirens, sea monsters, kraken, pirates (Kurona and Raichi, Bachira 🐬!), sharks, shipwreck, ghost ships, stranded on a deserted island, haunted lakes, lake spirits, Autumn fishing trip, swamp monsters, bogs and marshes, willowisps, alligators, snakes. Loch Ness Monster

(Fire and water, light and dark)

-

Day 5:

Paranoia: Fear and suspicion, feeling like someone’s watching and you just can’t shake it (...Ego and his cameras), feeling like you’re losing your mind, etc.. Doesn’t have to be all bad! Maybe there was a misunderstanding before a fun surprise. 

The Witching hour: Wiki / dictionary. Depending on whom you ask, the hour is either midnight or 3am - 4am. Supernatural entities / practitioners of dark arts are the most active and powerful. These entities might feel compelled / drawn out into the world. Magic and danger, inexplicable happenings! Humans ought to be at home and safely tucked in bed at this late hour, or else... Fun fact, the Orionid meteor shower peaks juuust before this event starts (in my hemisphere, at least) but continue until November, and the best time to view meteor showers is generally around the witching hour (after midnight / 3-4am). Can also mean the time in which people get up to no good or questionable stuff. 

-

Day 6:

Monster’s Ball: Monsters, creatures. Bachiraaa. Halloween party, masquerade, nightlife (going out in costume—or not—to bars and clubs). Reo buying a round. Literal ⚽ ball (Lil Isagi trick-or-treating in Noa’s kit), Halloween Practice (like in high school or college when your coach let you have a fun practice in costume before a holiday—absolute chaos and so fun!). Whatever chaos and debauchery y’all can imagine. Just follow the event guidelines and tag accordingly! Green eyed monster (jealousy), Cinderella’s Ball (Sae and Shidou!)

Hunter’s Moon: The date of the actual full Hunter’s Moon—lucky us! Sometimes called the Blood Moon. Full moon, werewolves, moonlight, on the hunt or being hunted, spells and rituals, Tsukimi / moon viewing + Tsukimi dango 🎑, moon myths and gods. Celestial things, Kurona and Isagi planetary hotline / astronauts, aliens.

(Monster vs Hunter day, ha)

-

Day 7:

Angels and Demons: Demon and priest, hell, listening to the angel or the devil on your shoulder (making a questionable decision because it’s tempting), devilish fun or spells, sin, temptation, a deal with the devil. Ohhh, Sae and Shidou, your night has come! 😈

Castle: fairytales, knights, vampires, dungeons, Royalty (King Barou, Emperor Kaiser!). Also super Sae and Shidou.

-

Day 8: 

Spirit: ghosts, haunted houses, GhostBusters, spirit entities like yokai, Ghost Adventures. Gagamaru as a friendly Yokai! Shaman. Possession, possessed or cursed objects. JJK. Ouija board game! Monk Igaguri. 

Movie Night: Watching a scary (or not scary) movie, series, anime, etc. So many movie/show Alternate Universes. Sendou living his Hollywood dreams. Barbie please!!! Nagi nodding off halfway through. The guys as a character from their favorite movie listed in the Egoist Bible.

Mischief Night: Wiki page. The night before Halloween for hijinks, pranks, scaring each other! Toilet papering Ego’s house. Can be more sinister, too.

Victoriya Bachinski “The Most Rambunctious Girl in Town”

Age: 13

Aries: Sign of energy

Catchphrase: “You do not know heartbreak until you find out that Lena Katina and Julia Volkova were not actually lesbians…….But “All The Things She Said” will always be a masterpiece”

Backstory: When Victoriya was just 10 she and her older brother, Mischa, were put up for adoption due to their mother becoming sick after working as a cleaner in Chernobyl. Little did they know, their adoptive parents were told they were receiving a Ukrainian toddler and Ukrainian infant. Instead they received one teenager and one pre-teen. They were both kept in the basement because they couldn’t just send them back. She co-founded the St. Cassian Coven, which may sound like a cult but it’s really just a midnight vampire roleplay group.

Some random facts abt her

She is neurodivergent and she’s hyperfixated(?)on the Twilight saga.

She made Mischa watch all of the Twilight movies.

In return she watched all of the Saw movies.

Mischa regularly brings her to choir practice because their adoptive parents don’t pick them up from school so Mischa drives them home.

The rest of the choir really likes her.

Except at some point Ocean started to criticize Twilight so she chucked a book at her.

Penny also brings Ezra. So him and Victoriya hang out.

(Btw i headcanon that St. Cassian is middle school through high school so her and Mischa are in the same school)(although this might be canon because Ezra and Penny are in the same school)

(OOC stuff under cut)

20th: Sacrilegious

Forever ago, on a server that doesn’t exist anymore, Cyberpsycho_For_Eurodyne prompted the community this “If you believe in angels you have to believe in demons too” and this fic was born. The first part, up until they meet Kerry, was published on my tumblr a while back, and I even shared a snippet about another part, which didn’t make it to the final cut.

I used this event to rework this story to be shorter(ish), so yes, there are elements of plot but trust me they’ve been lowered to the bare minimum. I still gave hints of what the rest of the story was supposed to look like, and where this was all going in the first place.

An angel and demon AU is also a great opportunity to be very filthy, and also use magic to jump over the technicalities of sex so you can bet I used it xD.

Please enjoy the slutty smut, and the rest if you please!

You can find the prompt list here.

Every fic will be posted on my AO3 Account here.

V’s mother used to tell him about guardian angels before he went to bed. She said that everyone got one, and that they were with you every time of the day, helping you, looking after you, that you could pray to them for guidance or strength.

So V always believed he had a guardian angel. But by God, he never would have thought his would be like this.

“Are you really sure you’re my guardian angel?” V asks for the tenth time as he sees the supernatural being purposefully make the TV change channel every ten seconds. They are currently at Tom’s dinner, having just met with Takemura. V started seeing the angel after dying, bullet to the brain, courtesy of Dexter DeShawn.

“Sure I’m your angel,” the being replies, all grinning teeth and a cocky attitude. The waiter is slowly getting crazy over the TV, trying to understand what’s happening. 

“Don’t I look like an angel?” the apparition asks with a side glance before shutting the TV off altogether.

“Well, you’ve got no wings,” V remarks.

With a smug smile, the being leans forward and suddenly, four wings appear behind him, spanning from one edge of the bench to the other. They look like they are made of the purest chrome, glinting with an ethereal light that comes from nowhere. The feathers look like they could cut through concrete easily, yet V can’t help but want to touch them for how delicate they appear. Like lacework. The young man closes his hand to prevent himself from reaching out, but his movement doesn’t escape the angel. With a smirk, he makes the wings disappear and leans back on the bench, putting his boots on the table.

V understood early on that no one but him could see the angel.

“So, how are we going to fix this mess, V?” The supernatural creature wonders with a drawl, hands resting behind his head.

“It’s your fuckin’ mess,” the merc retorts, “you were supposed to save me from that, remember?”

“Eh, well, I was busy with a demon. And I told you, I can’t really do shit. I’m just here to guide you and all. You gotta save yourself, blah blah blah.”

V rolls his eyes and drinks from his shitty coffee. He has no fucking clue where to start fixing the shit he’s in. He isn’t even sure what exactly he is supposed to fix: Dexter is dead, and apart from Takemura and Evelyn, he has no trail to follow. One thing is sure: he should have died but he got back from the great beyond and apparently, his guardian angel is as puzzled as he is about that. So he concentrates on something else.

“Yes, you told me about that demon. Just have a hard time believing they exist.”

“Hey, if you believe in angels, you gotta believe in demons, too.”

Can’t really fight the logic of that, he admits silently.

“Ok so, what kind of demon was it?”

“The worst kind.”

“Which means?”

The angel’s smirk deepens and something mischievous twinkles in his eyes.

“Well, better see for yourself. C’mon!”

-

And the angel gets out of the booth before sauntering out of the dinner. With a long-suffering sigh, and a thought for his mother – rest her soul – V follows.

“A demon lives here?” V asks, suspicious as they approach the villa.

“Yep.”

“Demons need houses?”

“That’s their technique, they blend in with humans. Easier to tempt them that way.”

“Ok but… Why are we going to meet a demon exactly?” V continues to question as the angel guides him to hop over the concrete wall surrounding the property.

“Because you wanted to know what demons are, and I happen to know that one very well.”

V pauses, opens his mouth to say something then decides against it. He trots to catch up with the supernatural being.

“Were you with this demon when you were supposed to protect me?” V suddenly asks, struck by divine inspiration – ah!

The angel looks deeply uncomfortable.

“Maybe.”

V catches the angel by the arm. The left one is made of metal, like his wings. V didn’t know angels could lose limbs.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I told you, he is the worst kind! Always enticing and teasing and being, you know…” and the divine creature does something weird, something that looks suspiciously like rocking his hips.

“Wait, wait, wait,” V starts. He takes a breath. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying? Were you with that demon when I died. Wait, can you even fuck?”

“Yes I was with that demon, no we don’t do something as trivial as fucking. What we have goes way beyond your human experience,” the being replies, but even though his wings are not visible, V has the distinct impression he’s ruffled the angel’s feathers. He snorts.

“Sure.”

“Hey, you know, maybe he can help, because if his plan was to tempt me into skipping my duties, he might know what’s up.”

And with that, the angel saunters to the doorbell and pointedly looks at V to ring it.

“How do you do when you visit him?”

“We meet on another existential plane. Stop asking questions.”

V rolls his eyes again. He’s been doing this a lot since the angel appeared. Still, with nothing better to do, he rings the bell, and they wait for a moment.

When the door opens, V’s jaw hits the floor, because behind it is Kerry Eurodyne, international rockstar and V’s crush as a teenager.

“Fuck.”

The curse makes the man – no, demon – blink in surprise before his eyes focus on the angel to V’s left.

“Hello, Johnny,” he greets, leaning against the door frame. The movement makes his tiny gown slide off his shoulder. The sight mesmerizes V, who lets his eyes roam over the uncovered skin with hunger. It becomes apparent to the merc very fast that the robe is the only thing Eurodyne is wearing, and it isn’t even properly closed. It leaves very little to the imagination, making a wave of heat spread inside V, coloring his cheeks and warming his skin. But then, something else registers.

“Johnny?!” V repeats, blinking at the angel. “That’s your name?”

The supernatural being shrugs, trying for nonchalant and failing.

“That’s not a very angelic name,” V continues at the same time the rocker interrupts them.

“How come he can see you?”

“Let's get inside,” Johnny declares, pushing past them. As he enters the mansion, his form suddenly becomes more solid, but he keeps the same appearance: leather pants, matching boots, and a dark tank top. However, he loses that strange light that seemed to surround him before.

V glances at Eurodyne, still not believing his eyes, and finds himself being scrutinized head to toe. It makes his skin heat all over again and brings butterflies to his stomach. V berates himself: he’s not fourteen anymore! He is a mature adult, and he does NOT have a crush on the rocker.

As if he can read his thoughts – and maybe he can! – a sly smile spreads over Eurodyne’s features and his slouch becomes more pronounced, pulling the gown off even more. Before he can make the conscious decision, V finds himself taking a step closer to the demon, enthralled by his darkening blue eyes and the way he tilts his head back.

Suddenly, V feels a pull and stumbles into the house, stopping short of the angel, who is looking at him with arms crossed and a very unimpressed expression.

“And they still wonder how you are so easily swayed,” he mutters before reporting his attention to the demon, who is slowly straightening. “Really?” he asks, scowl deepening.

The other being shrugs with an innocent face and raises his hands in a placating gesture.

“Eh, I don’t have my quota of temptations for the month, yet.”

Still reeling, V tries to make sense of the exchange, feeling like he was just pulled out of the sweetest dream. Something in him longs to get back into that trance, while another part freaks out. That last part wins when the demon comes closer, prompting V to take a step back.

“Sorry,” Eurodyne says to him with a wink, “can’t help myself. Demon, you know?”

With the sweetest smile V has ever seen, the being beacons both his guests toward the second floor of the house.

The angel sends one last suspicious glance at his charge before following the demon. V can’t help but snort internally, pretty sure his new companion is jealous. Or can he even feel that? Shrugging, he follows.

In what appears to be a living room equipped with a bar, the rockstar invites V to sit with a gesture. The angel – Johnny, apparently – is already sprawled on one of the couches, lighting a cigarette.

“Ain’t smoking a sin?” The merc asks snidely and receives a finger for his trouble. He snickers but catches the carton when the supernatural being throws it at him, and light one for himself.

“You don’t know shit about sins and virtues, V,” Johnny drawls around a mouthful of smoke.

“Aren’t like, seven of each?”

“There are as many as you can think of, and more to discover,” Eurodyne replies, putting three more or less clean glasses on the low table. “What’s your poison?” he asks with twinkling eyes and it takes V a second to reply, too lost in the demon's gaze. 

“He will have Tequila, of course,” his guardian interjects.

The spawn of evil rolls his eyes but suddenly, there is a bottle of a good brand on the table. V blinks as the bottle seemingly pours itself. Not looking perturbed by this, Johnny takes his drink and throws it back all in one go before gesturing at the bottle, who obediently fills it again.

“So, to what do I owe the displeasure of your holy presence in my house,” Eurodyne wonders and since Johnny is busy sipping his tequila, V takes it upon himself to answer.

“Johnny told me he was with you the moment I died, he thinks you might have tempted him into ditching his duties, and that, in his book, indicates you know something about my situation.”

Eurodyne snorts, sprawling on his couch and grinning at the angel.

“Yeah, Johnny likes to thinks I tempt him. I rarely do,” he explains with a wink at the holy creature, who is dutifully ignoring him.

“Show him the thing, V,” he says instead of acknowledging his demonic friend.

V turns his head and shows him the Relic. He feels more than he sees the demon stiffen.

“Ah.”

“So you do know something,” V concludes while Johnny gives him a little salute, proud of himself.

While Eurodyne looked mischievous until now, his face falls and his expression turns serious as he exchanges a look with the angel. Johnny’s expression is challenging, and V knows he’s missing something capital.

“Going against Them again, J?” The demon murmurs disapprovingly.

“Not stopping 'til we’re free,” is the cryptic reply. 

V is about to ask for more explanations, but the next instant, the demon’s attitude becomes fluid again and he smiles devilishly at his guests.

“Well, let’s say I knew something, what makes you think my help comes free?” he teases, leaning back against the couch. The movement makes the robe fall off his shoulders again and V is starting to suspect the thing of sentience. He can keep his eyes from straying, nor his brain from being filled with ideas. He spaces out for a few seconds, mesmerized by the demon’s naked skin. Opposite of him, Eurodye smirks.

Johnny snaps his fingers in front of V’s face.

“Focus, kid. Come on, show a little more backbone!”

V gives his guardian a mean glare before addressing the demon once more.

“Name your price, then,” he challenges and Johnny groans before facepalming. At the same time, Eurodyne’s face literally lights up with childlike glee, and he claps his hands, making a piece of paper appear. He gets up and walks over the low table towards V, hips swaying left and right like a pendulum, and V just can’t look away. His breath leaves him as the man comes closer and he feels like he has died again, only to be welcomed in paradise.

The demon doesn’t stop in front of V but climbs smoothly in his lap. Automatically, the young man brings his hands on Eurodyne's hips. His mouth opens in wonder as debilitating devotion fills him.

Another snap of Johnny’s fingers saves him once again, and Eurodyne evaporates from V’s lap, reappearing in his previous spot, as if he never left. V realizes with flaming cheeks that he didn’t, this was an illusion, a charm or something. He clears his throat awkwardly and wishes the floor would open up to swallow him whole. It doesn’t happen, and V focuses on the high quality paper that suddenly appeared in his hands, in place of the demon’s hips.

“That’s a contract of servitude,” Eurodyne explains with a satisfied expression. His voice is purring like a cat who just got headfirst into the cream jar, and the sound brings a shiver down V’s spine. He concentrates on the contract, but it appears he can’t read it for it is written in no known language of V’s translating software.

Johnny plucks the paper from his hands and burns it between his fingers.

“He is not signing this, Ker,” he growls, and when V looks up at him, there is a hint of something powerful about him, a strength that feels righteous and unyielding. In answer, the demon seems to become even more fluid and enticing.

“Well, then I don’t have anything to tell you.”

“I’ll sign,” V declares before pausing as a thought comes to him, “does this make me your sex slave?” he asks, aiming for unconcerned and failing spectacularly. 

The demon smiles mischievously at him.

“Is that a wish or a concern?”

The answer should be obvious, but it gets struck on V’s tongue, and Eurodyne bursts into musical laughter. It makes the young man’s heart pound, and even Johnny can’t help but smile next to him.

“Nah, just means you’ll do my bidding for… Let’s say a week. Think of it as being my personal assistant.”

“Or his bitch. He is a drama queen, V, don’t do this.”

“You said he might know something. I need to understand what’s happening, Johnny,” the young merc retorts.

The angel rolls his eyes before making a helpless gesture.

Another paper appears on the table, and this time V doesn't give Johnny time to burn it before he seizes the pen conveniently lying next to it and signs it. The moment his signature touches the paper, he feels a burning sensation start around his heart. Like hot iron tightening over it. He gasps and brings a hand to his chest, looking up at Eurodyne, whose expression seems forlorn for a second before it disappears behind another confident grin.

The sensation eases progressively, and V feels Johnny’s hand – the one that seems organic – gently grasp his chin to look him in the eyes. V notes distractingly that they are of a rich dark brown, like oak bark, but with specks of gold. They look concerned for a moment, before the angel releases him without saying anything.

“One week,” he says to the demon, “and then you help us.”

“’Course,” the devil replies with a big smile, but it rings false, as if he is sad instead of proud.

-

The week is coming to an end, and it went relatively smoothly, in V’s opinion. He’s made a van full of music equipment explode because, apparently, demonic powers of not, Eurodyne — no, Kerry, as the demon insists on being called — can still feel insecure when three pop starlets threaten to cover one of his songs. When that didn’t work in deterring the band from performing, V discovers that despite being supernatural, Kerry really likes to deal with things the human way, if holding the same three pop stars at gunpoint to dissuade them from going through with the cover is the human way. 

It makes Johnny laugh endlessly that Kerry got fucked by his own label.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the demon”? he asks snidely, to which Kerry replies with a finger and argues humans are a lot more creative than demons when it comes to fucking with each other.

Between those adventures, V enjoys being in prime position to witness their friendship. He loves hearing them talk about the ages they went through, and can’t help but smirk and shake his head when they criticize Hell of Heaven’s management. They look like grumpy old men, sipping good tequila and talking about how it was all better Before.

Before, with a capital B, means Before The Fall, as V discovered. They use it to talk about that time when they were all still one happy family. They reluctantly explained to V how things slowly deteriorated when God created Adam and Eve, because some of the high ranking angels disapproved of the way the whole Garden of Eden scandal was handled. It was a time of great suspicion: one step in the wrong direction would get you burned. It was what happened to Kerry, Johnny confessed with angry eyes one night, and refused to get back on the subject ever since.

The only other clue V gathered was that Kerry had been the angel in charge of inventing instruments, and he made the electric guitar for Johnny. It got him in trouble since apparently, the electric guitar was labeled as demonic along with the flute, for reasons V isn’t really clear on.

They look a mix of sad and angry when they talk about such times, so despite his curiosity, V mostly avoids the subject.

Tomorrow, his contract will be fulfilled and Kerry will help them discover what’s happening to V. The merc just hopes that means they can still see Kerry as much, because… He likes him. He likes him a lot and he knows Johnny knows it. Strangely, the angel hasn’t really said anything about that, except to remind V that Kerry is a demon and shouldn’t be trusted, blah blah blah. 

Watching them, V is now persuaded they’re in love with each other or something, the angelic equivalent, soulmates maybe? It’s a terrible Romeo and Juliet situation, and the sexual tension is really thick, which isn’t helping V not to succumb to Kerry’s charms. Both their charms, really. He likes observing them, humbled by their perfection, and the way they form a duality of contrasts physically. In personality, they’re a lot closer to each other than V would have imagined a demon and an angel to be. In the end, he’s decided they’re just really human.

They are playing music, electric guitars to be precise, tunes V knows by heart and others he’s never heard, all of them great. Soothed by the music, or maybe because he knows their time together is coming to an end, V just blurts the question, without preamble nor warning.

“So, is it worse to fuck an angel or a demon?”

They both look at him at the same time and the effect is jarring. He fights down a nervous chuckle.

“Demon,” “Angel,” they say at the same time before glaring at each other. 

“Nah, definitely demons,” Johnny insists as Kerry rolls his eyes, “they’ll use the connection to reach into your soul and corrupt it. Generally speaking, if they get that close you’re already fucked. Also, succubus and incubus, if you catch my drift.”

The demon smirks at V and reclines against the pillow of the couch. He does it like he's getting ready for a soft porn photoshoot, and V swallows, suddenly thirsty.

“Yeah but isn’t it a terrible sin to defile God’s sacred soldiers? Ruin the perfection of their holiness with your human crass? Taint their innocence with vile acts of depravity? Tempts them into the pleasure of the flesh, distract them from their holy duties?”

To V, it feels like Kerry knows exactly what he’s talking about, which only reinforces his conviction they are banging, whatever Johnny calls it.

“Angels are not innocent nor pure, that’s just human lore. You can’t taint us or whatever,” Johnny interjects. “We use pleasure to inspire, to soothe, to heal…”

Like often when they speak, it feels to V like they’re having an entire conversation between themselves which he can’t understand. The longing on Johnny’s face as he says all this, looking at Kerry, speaks volume about what he imagined pleasure could heal, and how much it failed.

Kerry’s gaze falls to his lap, his eyes suddenly veiled by something like regrets or sadness. It passes, quick as ever because he rarely lets his guard down, and looks up at V.

“Why do you ask? Wanna try for yourself?”

“Kerry,” Johnny warns, but the demon just grins nastily at him, and again, this simple exchange feels charged with things unsaid.

“Yeah,” V says, “why not.”

Kerry snorts, hides his smile behind his hand before glancing at Johnny.

“Promise I didn’t do anything, it’s all him.”

“I know,” the angel growls, sounding exasperated. “The more I know him, the more I’m persuaded this whole resurrection thing is just a blip, he’s nothing special. Horny like the rest of them.”

“Hey, that hurts,” V complains, more for the banter than anything else. “So?” he asks with a mischievous grin.

Kerry shrugs and turns to Johnny.

“I’m all for it, it’s that one you should persuade.”

V turns his gaze to the angel and gives him his best puppy eyes. Johnny’s mouth twitches up despite his roll of eyes.

“Don’t complain when you end up in Hell,” the holy creature tells the merc as a way of acceptance.

Kerry gives V a sharp grin.

“You’re in for the night of your life.”

-

“So, what do you prefer?” Kerry asks V as he undresses him, kneeling up on his massive bed.

“Huh, you mean, positions or…?”

“Nah,” he chuckles, “I’m speaking about parts. Cunts, cocks… Both?”

“I can choose?”

“Our bodies are not like yours, we are sexless in our natural states,” Johnny intervenes, wrapping his arms around V’s waist to mouth as his nape. His lips, so soft in contrast with his scratchy beard, make the merc shiver deliciously.

“Though Johnny loves to give himself a nice big cock," Kerry comments with a wink.

V chuckles and turns his head slightly to glance at Johnny, not at all surprised. The angel shrugs, and V can feel his smile against his nape, unrepentant.

It’s all very tempting, and V hopes they have more than one occurrence to test it all, but if he only gets one night, there is something he really wants.

“Can you… Can you both take me?” he asks, fighting down his blush.

“One after the other?” Kerry asks, hot lips trailing over his jaw and nipping at his lips.

“At the same time,” Johnny answers him, like he’s seen it in V’s mind.

The demon smirks, hums like he’s considering the idea.

“Want to feel both our cocks filling you? Take that little ass of yours hard and fast? Wanna feel full, baby?”

The pet name and the dirty talk make V’s knees weak. He lets his weight rest back against Johnny as the fire of pleasure starts burning in his veins and down to his cock. Kerry’s hands slip under his shirt while the angel's fingers go for his jeans, and V feels his heart pound inside his chest. 

He lets out a soft moan when Johnny’s metal hand curls around his hard length, just squeezing it, while the other go further to grab his balls. Kerry thumbs his nipples, twist them just hard enough to make V whine before getting closer to lick his upper lip teasingly.

The young merc is already trembling, thighs shaking and hips stuttering as Johnny strokes him once while Kerry continues to torment him by denying him a real kiss. With a growl, V surges up, catching the demon’s nape and bringing him close. With a huffed laugh, Kerry lets him, getting even closer, straddling one of his thighs to rub himself against him. 

They get him naked, stroking every inch of his skin, moving his body as they please until he's back to kneeling between them, with Johnny's big hard cock resting between his asscheeks and Kerry’s rubbing against his. The angel's hands are around both of them, stroking expertly until it’s not just V that’s shivering, but Kerry too. V is mesmerized by the way pleasure travels on his face. His eyes went stormy at first, but now they’re just glassy as he thrust upward into Johnny’s fist, leaned back on his hands, arching sweetly and giving V’s permission to put his hands everywhere. 

“Yeah,” V whispers to Johnny like an admission, “he's pretty irresistible.”

“He always was. Prettiest angel They ever made.”

Kerry opens clear blue eyes, pupils blown out until only a circle of icy blue can be seen under his half lowered lids.

“You’re biased.”

“I think he's right,” V pips in, hands roaming over Kerry’s shoulders. They trail up, joining at his neck, over the golden cyberware he probably doesn't need but put on himself to better blend in with humans. 

“Let me touch him,” V demands, and Johnny lets him, his hands moving from V’s cock to the small of his back, and down to his hole. He teases around the rim, not really touching, waiting for something, but V is too focused on his hand over his and Kerry’s cocks, and the sweet sounds that escape the demon, to notice much. He bends forward, forces Kerry to lay on his back with a cheeky smile, and kisses him as he lowers himself. He rubs against him, thrusting into his fist and enjoying the way Kerry arches back and spreads his legs needily. He will have to take him, it can’t be just one night, he wants to have him too, in any way possible.

As he loses himself in Kerry, he distantly registers Johnny shuffling closer and putting his cock right at his entrance. He tenses, because it won’t fit without prep, when indeed the angel appears to have a massive cock.

“Relax,” he says, “It won’t hurt.” 

As he says it, V feels a pleasant sensation of warmth spread into his body, feels a wave of pleasure like a small orgasm racing up his spine. He groans above Kerry, barely registers his predatory smile, and feels himself opening, relaxing around Johnny’s hard length as he pushes forward. He feels so slick and warm, like his body is purring, like after a long massage. It’s so fuckin good he sags against the demon and just moans out loud.

“Yeah, that’s it,” Kerry murmurs against his temple, gently stroking his hair. “Good boy, just relax and take it.”

Johnny slides in and starts rocking into him right away, and of course he hits the right spot on the first try. It fries V’s brain and he can only hear himself moan like a slut and the thought makes him even hotter. 

He moves sluggishly when Kerry encourages him to do so, shuffling up so Kerry is at the right level to join Johnny inside his hole. The demon doesn’t do that yet, he licks V’s nipples instead and wow, it’s like they’re now directly wired to his cock. It never felt like this, but each and every swipe of Kerry’s tongue over the hardened bud sends a shock of delicious electricity right down to his balls.

“Ffffuck,” he breathes out and hears Johnny laugh behind him. He gets a kiss on the nape for his trouble.

“Good?” the angel asks, like he needs to when he perfectly knows his cock is doing things to V no dick ever did.

“Shit, yes,” the merc still replies, and that makes Johnny speed up. It feels like his cock is getting bigger, V certainly feels more and more full, but the stretch is nothing but nice. God he is so wet, his hole is dripping slick over his balls, making a mess and he just loves it. Somewhere in what remains of his brain, his natural curiosity wonders about this miracle, and he silently laughs when he realizes it’s exactly that: a miracle. He is miraculously wet like a well serviced cunt.

“Lets make him cum once before I get in,” he hears Kerry indicate to Johnny. His voice is rough, reflecting his state of arousal, and he is also dripping against V’s perineum, adding to the mess. Then he goes back to playing with V’s nipples.

“Touch me, please,” V begs, but Johnny tuts.

“You don’t need it, you’re gonna come with my cock alone.”

“I can’t,” he whines, but the moment he says it he realizes it’s not impossible. He’s right on the edge, and the precipice looks absolutely breathtaking, to the point V digs his heels in, suddenly afraid of falling because it promises such a rush.

“No, I don’t, fuck,” he babbles as Johnny’s cock rams against his sweet spots and it feels like every fibers of his being tightens around it. Kerry’s tongue on his nipple becomes nearly unbearable, and then the demon bites it, sending V’s hips jerking forward.

His body locks, tenses, and then discharges like a lightning bolt into his nervous system. He loses speech, can’t take a breath, can’t do anything but feel the pleasure of his release crash inside of him. Several waves of it, it looks like it will never end. 

Suddenly he can breath again, and heaves wetly against Kerry’s mouth, since the demon took pity on him and stopped torturing his chest to nip as his mouth.

Johnny chuckles behind him, and slaps his ass, once on the left cheek, once on the right cheek with his organic hand, and moans when it makes V clench around him. He bucks into him meanly, making the merc gasp.

“Too much!”

“Nah, we just started,” Kerry reminds him with a malicious smile against his lips.

“I can’t, fuck!” 

“Yes you can, and you will,” Johnny promises. He seems to settle deeper into him, cutting V’s breath again as his body rebels against the overload… only to suddenly relax. Once more, that nice warmth fills him.

He pants, wide eyed, as Kerry slides his hand between them to gather his come and feed it to him, before kissing him filthily. V is dazed, licks the demon’s fingers like it’s ambrosia and whines when they escape his mouth. He shivers all over, spreads his legs wider and begs with his eyes for his torture to never end.

“Ready?” Kerry asks him as he slips a hand between their bodies once again. Johnny helps V lift his hips a bit to let the demon position his cock at his entrance.

“No,” V replies, but everything in him says yes, he wants it. Judging by his smirk, Kerry knows it.

He nudges his cock at V’s hole, and the young man shakes his head. 

“I’m too tight.”

“You’re just tight enough,” Johnny interjects and sure, when Kerry starts pushing in, he slips into his hole smoothly. V feels the pressure, like his body is rebelling but his mind just tells it to relax as Kerry’s hard length inches inside. He moans like a slut, can’t stop it, and just wishes he has something to occupy his mouth. How can he feel so empty when he’s so full of cock?

He can feel them both inside of him, it should be impossible but here they are, comfortably snug in his asshole that clenches and spasms around them. He trembles, shakes and whines.

“Please,” he begs, for what exactly, it’s their guess, but they seem to know, because Johnny starts moving.

He does it slow, not because V needs to adjust, but just because it feels unbearably good. The merc feels stretched like never before, feels so full of their cocks, so full of them. 

Kerry holds him still as Johnny thrust into him, and his hips are less coordinated than before. He curses lowly, tightens his hands over V’s hips and puts more of his weight against him. He reaches deeper, and both his partners moan at that. 

“Johnny,” Kerry calls, sounding wrecked, and suddenly they shift V so that he’s crouching over Kerry, Johnny’s cock deep inside of him, the angel holding him fast. In this position, Kerry can move, can fuck up into him and he does with abandon. 

“Look at him, look at him, V,” the angel whispers and despite the overwhelming pleasure, V tries to focus, focus on Kerry and the way he practically glows. Something shifts under him, like wings trying to unfurl and for a second, V sees them: black as the night with golden edges, shining from within like deep space. V hiccups because the view seems to trigger something in his brain, it makes a wave of powerful emotion travel through him and his body doesn’t know how to deal with that, so it just makes everything starker and even more intense.

“Shit, fuck, I… I’m coming?” he breathes like a question, unsure, but then he gets pretty certain, cause the next time Kerry snaps his hips up, he comes. The rush is just as terrible as the first time, made even worse — or better, by the fact that Johnny gives his cock one stroke.

Kerry snarls, brings V down to devour his mouth as he whines and moans and goes wild inside of him. They both do, Johnny has started moving again and they’re just using his body now, each thrust making his brain buzz as more pleasure is wrenched out of him. He feels like he keeps coming, each time they rock into him at the same time, filling him so completely, he climaxes, again, and again, and again.

Then Johnny bends over him, pushes as deep as he can go and V feels it: feels his cum inside him, and there is so much. Under him, Kerry laughs, wild around the edges, before opening his eyes. He arches back, nearly dislodging V’s from his perch over him as he comes, too.

God, there is cum everywhere, it’s dripping out of V’s hole over his balls, over the sheets, and Kerry is covered in it while V’s cock is leaking like a faucet, all the way soft but still weakly pulsing. 

V tries to breathe, discovers he can but it’s like the air itself lacks oxygen. He clenches around them by reflex and they both moan, pushing into him like they would love to go again. 

Johnny is idly petting his sides, mouthing at his nape tenderly.

“You did great, you’re alright V, you were amazing,” he whispers. Kerry raises his fingers to his cheeks to wipe the tears V didn’t know he was shedding. He smiles shakily. He feels great, actually. Like he’s been unmade and rebuilt, but his body is relaxed, his brain is quite like it rarely is. 

He sighs happily and leans back against Johnny with a soft smile.

“That was… Yeah.”

Kerry snorts under him, strokes his thighs.

“It’s not finished. The night just started,” he declares and V tenses, or tries to, but his ass just pulses around both their cocks, still hard inside of him, and yeah, ok, this is probably the best place on earth.

He lets go in Johnny's arms, moans softly when the angel kisses his neck, bushes his lips against his feverish skin.

“Ok,” he just says.

Whatever this was, it didn’t feel like a sin, so his question still remains unanswered. But that’s fine, he’s got the whole night to find out

-

Later, when they’ve exhausted V beyond measure, they settle around him to watch him sleep. Kerry’s gaze is wistful as he traces the merc’s bottom lip with his thumb gently. His eyes flicker to the side of his neck, behind his ear where the Relic is stored. His expression turns to a deep sadness, colored by longing. 

Johnny, who was watching him, reaches out to catch his chin, making him raise his eyes.

“So you do know what this is…”

Kerry’s pupils flash with calculation, Johnny can see him weigh his options as he tries to decide between the truth and an easy lie. The angel frowns.

“Don’t lie to me,” he orders, using the divine voice.

A shiver goes through Kerry, delighted even as it must hurt.

“Yes,” he admits, like the truth was wrenched from him. It was.

“What is it?”

“Freedom. Humanity’s key to immortality. They figured it out, and with that they can play God. A tragedy for them, an opportunity for us to get out.”

Johnny isn’t surprised, he suspected it from the start, from the moment he saw his charge come back to life despite the Divine Will.

“But this is a setback,” Kerry adds, looking at V tenderly. “In his hands, it’s harmless. I don’t know if it’s an Intervention or something else, but you have a choice to make. Either give the Relic back to its human creators so they can use it to its full potential… Or let him keep and it's probable nothing will happen.”

Johnny fights down the elation he feels at the idea of a way out so close to him. It can’t be that simple. Kerry smiles like he heard the thought. It’s a bitter expression, full of anger and regrets, with a hint of longing.

“If they take it out of his head, he’ll die. He's now on borrowed time," he explains in a whisper, eyelids lowering. Johnny looks down at V and frowns. He can’t do that, he realizes. He can’t do that. Despite knowing he shouldn't, he likes this charge like none other before.

Suddenly he understands Kerry’s plan.

“You asked for a week to give me time to get attached!” he accuses and his friend’s expression shows he’s hit the bull’s eye. “Why?! Don’t you want us to be free? Free to be together again?! Don’t you want your wings back?!”

“Fuck yes I want all that, you know it!” Kerry seethes, getting out of the bed and catching his pack of smoke as he gets out. Johnny stomps behind him, noting human bodies are very satisfying when it comes to expressing anger.

He follows him all the way out to the terrace.

“Then what?!” He barks when Kerry has lit a cigarette

“I don’t want humans to doom themselves, Johnny! I happen to like them, and playing God will probably destroy them like it did to our kind!”

Johnny wants to retort that humans were garbage from the beginning, defiant and unruly since their creation, that they’ve been nothing but terrible for their planet and the universe at large. But V’s face flashes in his mind, his donkey laugh, his stupid jokes, the way he moaned when they ravished him again and again.

“I won’t let you do it, Johnny,” Kerry finishes, gaze hard like steel. “I’ve been punished because I loved you more than I loved God. I hate it, I’m still pissed about it, but I’ve learned to live with it, find joy in other things. I won’t let you destroy everything trying to free us.”

It stings. It hurts like a slap to the face. Johnny burns with anger, dark and forbidden. If any of the higher ups could see him, he would fall like Kerry. For a minute he’s ready to do it, but he catches the demon’s warning look. He promised to behave, promised to do everything he could not to fall, so that at least Kerry’s sacrifice wouldn’t have been in vain.

They stay silent for a long moment as Johnny ponders his choices, and their limitations.

“What if it’s not a blip or an Intervention? What if it’s a sign?” Johnny asks in a murmur. It’s been in his head since he met V, he realizes. A nagging thought, a bloom of hope he didn’t dare to believe. But since V came back from the dead, something struck him as weird in this whole story.

“What do you mean?” Kerry asks with a wary expression.

“What if V is the key? Not the Relic, but the fact that such a power fell into the hands of one truly good person? Not in terms of virtues and sins, but — you know, at core… At core he’s like they should all have been.”

The demon closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose.

“Johnny, tell me you’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking?”

Now that he voiced it, Johnny can’t stop feeling like it’s the truth.

“Listen, my side never took notice of it, they’ve been blinded. You say it’s not from your side either?”

“No, I would know,” Kerry hesitates before he nods to himself, “I think I’m the only one that found out humans were that close to immortality. You know the others, they still think tempting priests is the way to go.”

“Yes! So if it’s not from my side, or your side, it’s something else and maybe it’s fallen into V’s hands for a reason!”

“You sound crazy,” Kerry deadpans but his friend knows him too well. He’s starting to get into the idea. Johnny grins, gets closer. 

“Yeah? What about something even crazier?” He breathes as he crowds Kerry against the wall next to the entrance. He can see it in the demon’s eyes: that gleeful, mischievous excitation. 

Kerry shakes his head no but everything in his being says yes, he’s vibrating with the same mad energy Johnny feels in himself.

“What if we killed God?”

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: "You came here because you needed something, right?"

I watched the first four and a half seasons of The Vampire Diaries, and during those years, I wrote a considerable amount of fanfiction, some of which I posted on LiveJournal and/or AO3.  Starting around 2013, I also drafted several missing scenes and a couple of AU scenarios in an attempt to tease out the parts of Bonnie Bennett’s storyline that I liked, or - particularly in the fourth season - wanted very much to like. 

I am hardly the first person to point out that TVD frequently mistreated its characters of color, whether they stuck around for an episode or two before dying violently, or – like Bonnie – habitually provided magical solutions to the white characters’ problems.*  I also recognize that, as a white viewer, my critical perspective and authority are limited; I can only talk about what worked (and didn't work, and sort of almost worked) for me. But based upon the episodes that I've seen, and what I've learned from spoilers, Bonnie's Season 4 storyline was part of a larger pattern.

I still think that storyline had potential at first. Unable to access her powers, Bonnie sought help from her late grandmother’s old friend, who offered what he called “witch therapy” that would allow her to practice magic again.  I didn’t care about Atticus Shane’s motivations or his connection to The Lore, but I did care about the threat that he posed to Bonnie, whom he claimed to want to “help” but really wanted to control, whether through literal hypnosis or continued insistence that he was the only one who could keep her from becoming a danger to herself and others.  I’m pretty much always interested in stories like that, no matter the background of the characters involved. I won't pretend that I didn't enjoy watching the scenes that these two characters shared, but I would have liked them more, or be able to look back on my enjoyment of them less critically, if they'd played out in a different context or with a different resolution.

No matter how many of my favorite villainous tropes Professor Shane embodied, I believe that a story that positioned Bonnie as the pawn of a manipulative white man – and the supernatural forces that he served – deserved a payoff in which she reclaimed her agency and turned the tables on him.  If I recall correctly, a few scenes seemed to almost offer that resolution, but they were overshadowed by plot developments in which Bonnie lost her autonomy, her memories, and ultimately her life.  (She hung around in the next season as a ghost and eventually returned to the world of the living, but that wasn’t enough to sustain my interest in the show, even though her temporary death wasn't the only reason why I stopped watching, and I’ve heard that she had a lot more to do in later seasons.) 

I tried a few times to write fic that explored how Shane’s manipulation affected Bonnie emotionally, or followed an alternate timeline in which she figured out earlier that he was bad news.  I can’t say that all of my ideas were good, but I recognize that I never put in enough effort to turn any of them into a complete story, which was due to a failure of imagination or confidence on my part.  

Although I haven’t plugged into TVD fandom in years, and am not familiar with all of its ongoing trends, I recently looked on AO3 for stories in which Bonnie retaliated against Shane somehow, but I couldn't find much (when it crumbles, a fic from 2013, was one exception).   If any of the ideas that I scribbled in my notebook a decade ago appeal to readers of this post, I encourage you to run with them.  And if we** think that characters of color deserve more attention in fandom, we can try writing about them ourselves (look for a prompt list or fanwork exchange if you’re not sure where to start!), but we can also reblog fanart and rec lists here on Tumblr, and can recommend or – depending upon where you’re reading them – bookmark stories that we enjoy.

*Here is one of many, many blog posts (and academic articles, and video essays) that discusses race in TVD.

**I say "we" because I am just as capable of doing this as anybody else, and not always as attentive to opportunities as I could be.

cross over 2 of the series in your tumblr bio - what would that look like?

okay excellent question for starters!!

so I have looong had an idea in my head of writing a supernatural trek au like. something about those two just screams to me and I so badly one day want to do it

my initial thoughts were always head of engineering dean, science officer cas (a vulcan obvs) and captain or first officer sam though there's so many variations that I think work with everyone

and I'd totally go down the 2009 jim/spock of it all with dean and cas not initially getting along but they soon realise they are in fact the loves of each other's lives

the potential is endless honestly and I think about it a lot

I'm bored send me asks/prompts/things

Marvel Trumps Hate! About me, and some auction blurb!

Hi Tumblr! 

So as I mentioned before, I’m involved in the Marvel Trumps Hate fan auction this year and it’s looking to be a fantastic year for raising money for charity. If you’d like to get involved, there’s loads of really awesome auctions, and still things you can bid on that are under $20 in the golden needle auctions, which you can check out here.

I’m here to talk to you about my auctions, though, since I’ve learned a little more about the auction since signing up and I wanted to expand on my offers a little bit. Before I do that, though I want to thank the folks who have bid on my auctions so far and everyone in the Discord who have made me feel super welcome I really didn’t expect anyone to be interested in my stuff since I’m a bit of a fandom phantom and only briefly reappear to post the occasional thing. You’ve been amazing, and it’s a warm glowy feeling to know I’ll be able to do something to help out some great charities working on these projects for my winners.

So let’s get started on this, shall we?

P.S. this is a super huge post so I'm putting it all under the Read More link. PLEASE click on it and check out each of my auctions linked inside, and if you aren't interested but you know people who might be then please reblog as I don't know many people in fandom myself and it would help an awful lot!

Hi, I’m Dogsled :) I have been in one fandom or another for 25 years now, though my longest stints were in Harry Potter and Supernatural. I was very “general audience” with Marvel for the longest time, and only really started opening up to the possibility of making content for it over the last year and a half. Firmly a Stucky fan in spirit, I got hooked on Winterbaron this year and wrote Freedom Paid for in Acts of Submission back in February.

In terms of the MCU it’s easier to tell you things I haven’t watched than things I have, and basically it’s just Netflix shows that aren’t the first two seasons of Daredevil or the first season of Jessica Jones (though I am planning on working on resolving this gap). I’ve read several big Steve and Bucky story runs (Brubaker’s Winter Soldier run, Civil War I and II and Secret Empire) but haven’t dived in beyond that yet. I’m eager and willing to read any comic or watch any movie necessary to understand a story prompt. You want an AU of a specific romcom? I can do that. Need me to read Planet Hulk? Sure, no problem. Just something to keep in mind :3

So what am I doing in terms of content right now? I worked on a piece for the Coloring for a Marvelous Cause book (which I can share with you guys on the 15th!) and I’m now working on a comic and a NSFW art piece for the Winteriron Zine which will be coming to preorders soon, and I can’t wait for you guys to see the great work everyone is doing for that project because it all looking amazing. Re. writing, I have cards for Stucky Bingo, Steve Rogers Bingo, Bucky Barnes Bingo and the Winterfalcon Bingo, which have been keeping me motivated, and maybe one day I’ll get back to my long distance pining WIP which is Bucky centric with a touch of mutual unrequited Stucky love because I Like Suffering.

But none of this wall of text is actually helpful so far, right, so let’s jump into specifics:

Hi, I am a dirty multishipper. I like rarepairs. I will write threesomes and moresomes. I will write m/m, m/f or f/f without hesitation. I like the challenge of making things happen inside canon, but I also like time travel and multiverse shenanigans and have been known to eat up an AU or two.

You’re wondering if I will write or draw your ship or your character or your kink and the answer is… Very probably? I mean seriously, I don’t need much encouragement here. I’d give it a try. Obviously there are things I think I may be better at over others, but I mean if you want to outbid everyone else to throw something completely unexpected at me I’m going to take it as a challenge, not a threat. Like. If you want HYDRA!Daredevil/Cap!Bucky/Jen Walters fic I might scratch my head for a few hours over the idea  but I would find a way, that’s all I’m saying.

So here’s the deal, let’s go over each auction, then I’ll throw some ideas at you, too.

Auction 1: Fic auction - currently $300 (!!!)

So we’ve unlocked the full scope of this auction already, and that means a minimum of 20k words from me, but seeing as that was already unlocked a while back, I’ve decided to add a couple of extra things to this auction for the winner.

The winner of this auction will receive:

Minimum 20k words of fic AND An illustrated banner for that fic Themed dividers A full color illustration of something in the story

Here’s an example of all three from a Dean/Cas Reverse Bang project I worked on 4 years ago!

If bids hit $500 (I don’t imagine it’s going that high but I never imagined it was going to go to $300 either) I’d also like to include a 5-10k ‘extra’ fic for the winner. Can be a snapshot from the same story/verse, a different story or pairing entirely, or you can gift the extra fic to a friend.

Listed yes: canon divergent 'what if' and canon based, dark, angsty, fluffy, intimate, kinkfilled, consensual BDSM, action, rarepairs, threesomes and moresomes, established relationships, first times, dub/non con, aftercare, pining, dark versions of characters, multiversal/time travel shenanigans, (insert bad guy) wins scenarios, villain/hero

Listed no:

kidfic*, animal transformation*, fluff AUs*, vanilla domesticity*, hardcore kinks (i.e. gore, scat, ageplay etc.), own voices for which the voice is not my own*, underage, incest, amputation, vore, scat, somnophilia.

That said! I am flexible on some of my ‘no’ answers and my ‘yes’ answers are by no means comprehensive. These are just the things I like to write most, and in the case of the starred 'no's are just things that don't usually show up in my fics.

Listed pairings:

Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers - Any Universe Bucky Barnes/Helmut Zemo - MCU Bucky Barnes/Brock Rumlow - MCU Bucky Barnes/John Walker - MCU Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson - MCU Steve Rogers/Brock Rumlow - MCU Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov - MCU Bucky Barnes/Matt Murdock - MCU Bucky Barnes/Marc Spector - MCU Steve Rogers/Helmut Zemo - Any Universe

So. FUNNY STORY. Because this is my first auction I kinda thought if people wanted different pairings they’d send me a message and we could chat about it, but I forgot that we all are mostly very shy, so I want to clarify: these are just the ships that I have the most enthusiasm about writing! These are the pairings I motivate myself to write, but that’s really not the point of this at all. I want to write a fic FOR YOU. So tell me, what are your pairings?

You want Bucky/Peggy? Bucky/Frank? Bucky/Wade? Bucky/Yelena? Bucky/a recast Thunderbolts movie of your choice where it’s just everyone trying to get in his pants and him being very picky? Clint/Yelena? Hell, polyam Clint and his wife in a Winterwidow sandwich? I’ll do it. Steve/Tony? With Bucky too? Steve/Matt? Bucky/Matt/Foggy? Stephen/Steve/Steven? Peggy/Nat? Carol/Sam? Loki/Steve? Loki/Mobius? Loki/Kang? Loki/Gamora? Brock/that one guy who was in only one scene in Winter Soldier and was never seen again? Uh Thor/Steve? Thor/Peter/Gamora? Bucky/Kate? Zemo/Fury? I could go on and on with all the combinations and never run out, but I am trying to make a point here. LET ME WRITE YOUR RAREPAIRS.

Okay,  so I said I was going to make some suggestions, and I’ve already done a few already in all of that…craziness. So here are a few things I’ve thought about writing but never had the time to:

I’d love to write a Bucky/Zemo fic set in WW2 where Zemo is a POW being held in the same facility Bucky’s taken to after his fall. He helps keep him sane through the torture and watches him slip away to the brainwashing, then escapes, rescues him and nurses him back to health, helping him to remember his name

I’d love to write just about anyone adopting Bucky and taking care of him after Endgame. If that’s Stephen Strange with them both helping each other over their mutual heartbrokenness, Matt Murdock being his lawyer working with him to secure fair terms for his parole, Marc and Steven helping him learn to accept the Winter Soldier part of himself, or Clint and his wife adopting him as a mutual third partner in their marriage and buying him chickens and a cat and a goat. I just want to write people healing Bucky and Bucky healing them.

Steve/Zemo.  I want to write more of this pairing, simple as that, but I especially would love to write something set in some variety of their Secret Empire relationship where they were childhood friends. Could be an AU, could be some sort of pining where Secret Empire Zemo comes to meddle in the MCU after the end of that arc takes his friend away I haven’t thought too hard about it.

A Stucky AU where Steve becomes the Sorceror Supreme instead of a super soldier and rescues Bucky with magic.

Loki/Steve set as an alternate to canon where Loki is jealous of Thor’s relationship with Steve and abducts him (on a space adventure? Why not?) or a Loki/Bucky set in present day canon after the Disney serieses where Loki and Bucky are teaming up as good guys and discover they have a lot in common (while assassinating alternate universe versions of Kang like some mad Man On The Wall crossover?

(CW abuse) A Steve/Brock and Bucky/Brock fic which is Steve being in this borderline abusive relationship with Brock, whom he’s desperate to please, not really understanding that what he’s been asked to put up with is unacceptable, while Brock as the Winter Soldier’s handler is abusive to Bucky and tells him all about it, maybe shows him the pictures he gets Steve to send etc. Stucky happy ending and canon just deserts.

Again all of these are just ideas, and just grab bagged out of nowhere, basically. If any of that inspires you and you want to encourage me to write it, that’s awesome, but I would be JUST as excited to write your fic for you.

If that excites you too, then go here and put down a bid.

Auction 2: art auction (currently $130)

This auction is for a full page illustration of up to three characters (already unlocked)

Here’s the blurb:

I'm offering a full comic style cover for a character of your choice from the fandoms mentioned, though I'm up for discussion if you have some other character or fandom in mind. That means a color illustration made to look just like a comic book cover depicting a favorite scene, event or relationship from the content (or a scene you completely make up!). It can be realistic or a little bit exaggerated and surreal, but no matter what we'll plan and draft out the idea together until you're happy with it first.

And here are the fandoms: Bucky Barnes-centric - Any Universe Steve Rogers-centric - Any Universe Captain America fandom any gen - Any Universe The Falcon and the Winter Soldier fandom any gen - MCU Avengers fandom any gen - MCU X-Men fandom any gen - MCU Loki fandom any gen - MCU Moon Knight fandom any gen - MCU Daredevil fandom any gen - MCU She-Hulk fandom any gen - MCU

But here’s the thing! That’s by no means an exhaustive list, because again, those are just the things I love the most in this giant enormous fandom and I’ll draw just about anything you like. You have Werewolf by Night characters you want drawn together? Go for it. I’ll do shippy entanglements too (though please note of the two this is my explicitly Gen, Teen, Mature auction. If you want explicit art check out my other art auction. You want Clint/Bucky/Nat? Sure, I can do that. Jake/Steven/Marc? I can do that too. Sam and Bucky and Zemo? I can do that. 

I’ll draw whoever you like, just throw it at me, and if this art auction zips up super high from here (say $300?) I’m happy to draw, say, up to six people, like a proper Avengers cover or movie poster. Whatever you want.

If that sounds cool to you, you can jump into the bidding war for this item here.

Auction 3: art auction ($50!)

Auction three is also offering a full page illustration (or a single page comic) but I offered to make it explicit and I guess appeared to limit it to specific characters and ships, which was a mistake I think.

You see I listed it like this:

Bucky Barnes/Helmut Zemo - MCU Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers - Any Universe Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson - Any Universe, MCU Bucky Barnes/Brock Rumlow - MCU Steve Rogers/Brock Rumlow - MCU Loki/Steve Rogers - MCU Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov - Any Universe Bucky Barnes/John Walker - MCU Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark - MCU Steve Rogers/Helmut Zemo - Any Universe

When what I really mean is: I’ll draw anything, as mentioned before, but I’ll also draw it porny or in comic book form.

At this point this auction would be a great bargain if you wanted to add some extra art to a fic auction you were buying, but I just want to be clear that it doesn’t have to be explicit, and I’m happy to offer all the same fandoms as my other art auction, and unlock all the same character options if that means drawing in more bids. I will happily draw a nice gen comic of She-Hulk and and her lawyer friends drinking together or Alpine visiting the other Avengers for petting if that’s what you want. But also if you really want just filthy Stuckony for an entire page I’ll happily draw that too, and what’s more if this auction somehow goes up over $200 I’m offering to include a 2k-5k ficlet backing up the art in some way, shape or form. Maybe writing. Maybe poetry. I just don’t know, but y’all will have to bid on this auction to find out.

I accept podbids, am happy to have my auction given as a gift to a friend (completed or from the very beginning) and donations can go to any charity of your choice from the list of approved organizations. Plus if you really want it as a gift for Christmas, I’ve left a space open in my schedule to make that possible for you (though if you don’t mind waiting that’s also awesome too!).

In any case I want to wish you all a happy bidding, whether you’re bidding on my auctions or on someone else’s, and thank you so much for reading this wall of text!

This week's [23-08-2021 - 29-08-2021] reading log is here! I read a lot again this week and I feel like it's a lovely variety of fics. Most fics are Stucky like usual, but there's at least one other ship. I am constantly amazed by the talent people have in this fandom! There was one fic I read on Tumblr that I can't seem to find unfortunately, but when I do I'll make sure to reblog and rec it 💕

When life gives you lemons by moonthejedi394 @moonythejedi394 [Stucky, 40k words, Mature] (12/15 chapters available)

Or 13 Terrible Things to Do With Lemons Other Than Making Lemonade

Steve Rogers is a home health nurse. He works for an agency, which assigned him to the aging Winifred Barnes, the one and only Silent Era Hollywood darling. As her needs increased, she requested the agency assign Steve to her full-time. She could pay for it, so she got it. Steve then moved in with her, becoming her caregiver; he cooked, he cleaned, he managed her medications, he made sure she was comfortable.

Winifred's children treated him less than ideally. He was the help, after all. And then Steve had the audacity to go and turn out to be eldest son James Barnes's soulmate. No one saw that coming.

The Masseur and the Assassin by buckybarnesdeservestobehappy @buckybarnesdeservestobehappy [Stucky, 17k words, Explicit]

Bucky Barnes needed a vacation from his job. What he found was a happy ending.

The Words Breathe by buckbarnesdeservestobehappy [Stucky, 1k words, Mature]

All Steve has to do is keep his promise. When he doesn’t, Bucky gets mouthy.

Soft by this_wayward_life @wayward-lives [Stucky, 2k words, Explicit]

The last time he'd seen Bucky he'd looked unhealthy, with pallid skin and greasy, lanky hair. Now, Bucky shone; his hair was thick and silky, his skin a deep bronze from spending so much time outside. He was softer, too; the hard muscle that used to cover him was now replaced by soft fat, his body still strong, but in a more mundane way. His thighs were thicker, his ass plumper, and when he'd pulled Steve into the river Steve had noticed the pudge on his stomach.

Seeing Bucky so happy, well-fed and shining, was a bit of a kick in the face. For all the years they'd known each other, he'd never seen Bucky so... care-free. Now that Bucky was putting on weight, his middle soft and his body malleable, it sent a bolt of arousal through Steve every time he noticed the curves of Bucky's body.

Or: Bucky put on a bit of weight in Wakanda, and Steve is Not Coping.

🌻 Revive Another Side of Me by dontcallmebree @iamthe-wo-manwhocan [Stucky, 1k words, Mature]

Steve’s never lived in a world without Bucky, and he’s not living now. It takes them a while, much too long, to get that awaited rest, a little slice of peace after the dust has settled.Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are inseparable, history remembers. But they’re not men of the past quite yet.

🌻 imagine being loved by me by spacebuck @spacebuck [Stucky, 20k words, Explicit]

Just after 1am - a few hours after he posted today’s photo - he hears the tell-tale sound of a twitter message. Bucky grabs his phone, not checking who it’s from as he opens it because it’s probably one of his mutuals yelling at him as per usual. When he actually looks at his phone, though, it’s not Natasha

The ‘verified’ check stares back at him for a long moment before he can even bring himself to process the name on his screen. Steve Rogers is messaging him. Or, he reasons, a very good fake. The handle looks right though, not that Bucky knows. Not that Bucky has Captain’s America’s tweets set up as notifications, or that Bucky’s own display name is set to captain america’s bitch. Not at all.

Hey, the first message says. It’s Steve.

🌻 JB’s Complete Lube Services by dixons_mama @dixons-mama [Stucky, 3k words, Explicit]

People just didn’t approach Captain America and proposition him. Although, sometimes Steve wished they would; even the pinnacle of virtue and justice needed to get dicked down from time to time.

Or, the one where Steve has the hots for a mechanic and decides to be proactive in getting that dick.

If it had to be someone by rainbow_nerds [Stucky, 1k words, Mature]

Bucky had known since he was a child that he didn’t have a choice in who he married, but he’d thought he had more time before the day arrived.

Miscalculations by christywantspizza @christywantspizza [Ransom Drysdale/Reader, 6k words, Explicit]

Ransom tries to get you to sleep with him by less than honorable means. You give him what he wants, just not how he wants it.

How to Seduce a Writer by obsessivereader [Stucky, 2k words, Teen]

What's a determined master strategist going to do when the oblivious writer he's trying to woo keeps missing all the clues?

He doesn’t think it’s because he hadn’t signaled his own interest to Bucky. He’s pretty much done everything short of hitting Bucky over the head with semaphore flags by this point. There’s no way Bucky could’ve missed them. Unless… There’d been that one link he’d stumbled upon when he’d googled ‘how to talk to a writer’. It’d been written by a writer, who’d been candid about how oblivious writers could be, and how someone could go about seducing one. An idea starts to form. It’s ridiculous, but at this point, he’s willing to go with ridiculous, since subtle wasn’t getting him anywhere.

🌻 Pod Bless America by Deisderium @deisderium [Stucky, 6k words, Teen]

Bucky can't believe his favorite podficcer recorded his newest fanfic AU of the show Commandos. He's even more surprised when the customer who busts him listening to fic while he's working in the office supply store turns out to be that podficcer.

* The guy—maybe bi_shield?—took his phone, looked down at the screen, and smiled. "Yeah, that one's mine," he said with no evidence of embarrassment. "It was a good one." He handed the phone back to Bucky.

"I wrote it," Bucky croaked.

take a bite by wearing_tearing [Stucky, 7k words, Mature]

"I’d never let anyone freeze to death.” Steve gives a big sigh and flutters his lashes. “All that blood gone to waste.”

Bucky’s lips turn down and his nose scrunches up a little. “I want to be grossed out, but…”

“But you get it.” Steve gives him a pointed look. “Vampires aren’t the only ones who can appreciate how juicy blood is.”

*

Or: Vampire Steve saves newly-turned werewolf Bucky from a snowstorm.

Leaving the Shield Behind by BuckyAboveEverything [Stucky, 6k words, Teen]

“So, on one hand, we have Steve Rogers - hunk, genius, animal lover. Buys you waffles and overpriced coffee. 100% wholesome all-American boy.”

“And, on the other hand, we have Capsicle – twink, smart-ass, fanboy. Reads your stories and sends you fanart. Possibly a pervert or a serial killer.”

Bucky groaned.

“I am 100% certain I am 0% sure of what to do."

Bucky Barnes, full-time copywriter and free-time fanfic writer, struggles to choose between two equally-attractive suitors, only to find that he doesn’t have to after all.

* Based on a true story *

Cap's Book Corner by Neche [Stucky, 2k words, Teen]

Recluse Author Bucky Barns stumbles into fanboy Steve Rogers bookstore one day...

Cat Nap by galwednesday @galwednesday [Stucky, 8k words, Teen]

Objectively, losing the Bucharest safehouse and its contents was the least of Bucky’s problems. The balding agent he’d seen directing the raid was apparently affiliated with SHIELD, which was a shadowy government agency that made representatives from other shadowy government agencies suddenly remember urgent appointments when Bucky tried to bribe, threaten, and otherwise shake them down for information on what the hell SHIELD might want with a former brainwashed assassin. Dodging SHIELD should be his number one priority.

Subjectively, he wanted his fucking cat back.

at any given moment by honeypuffed [Stucky, 1k words, Teen]

Steve and Bucky find out that everyone thinks they're sleeping together.

Brought to Brightness by eyres [Stucky, 10k words, Teen]

Army veteran Bucky Barnes has fallen in love with Steve, a guy he met online a few months after he returned from Afghanistan. Only problem is, he doesn't know Steve's last name or even what he looks like.

When his sister helps him send his story into MTV's Catfish, he's hoping they can help him meet Steve or, at least, let him move on with his life if Steve isn't real. Little does he know, Steve and Captain America have more in common than just a first name.

🌻 Nokken Wood by leveragehunters @leveragehunters [Stucky, 10k words, Teen]

When Sam's friend needs a house-sitter for his place in the country, Steve jumps at the chance. Six months rent-free to do nothing but draw and paint and wander the countryside, looking for inspiration? It was like a dream. But when he gets lost in a storm and nearly falls into a pond he starts to rethink the whole like a dream aspect of life in the country. And when a red-eyed, sharp-clawed, silver-fanged creature rises out of the darkness, Steve is one hundred percent certain the dream's morphed into a nightmare.

...until it gives him a cup of tea.

(Inspired partly by this prompt a supernatural creature is supposed to scare you but instead it gives you a cup of tea and a blanket because you're having a bad day and you keep coming back and partly by this painting.)

Professional Pride by galwednesday [Stucky, 700 words, Teen]

Bucky is having a very good day, until he turns around and finds himself face-to-face with Captain America.

“Oh shit,” he blurts before he can stop himself, and Captain America blinks at him. “Hey, hi, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Here, at New York’s Pride parade, surrounded by thousands of happy screaming people wearing rainbows and sometimes not much else. What is he doing here? Is he on guard duty or something? Was he just on a mission and happened to be passing by on his way back?

He’s in uniform but with the cowl loose around his neck, so when he rubs the back of his head it fluffs up his matted hair. “I, uh. I saw one of your–temporary tattoos?” Captain fucking America says, like it’s a question.

The A-bridged Guide to Trolling by galwednesday [Stucky, 1k words, Teen]

“I don’t have any money.”

Oh no, now the girl looked upset. Her eyes were huge and her lip was wobbling. Bucky tried to think fast despite the oh shit oh shit oh shit looping through his head.

“That’s okay,” Bucky said gently. “I don’t need money. We can figure out another kind of toll.”

The girl frowned at him. “Like what?”

Bucky scratched his head, trying to think of something a kid was certain to have on hand. “Do you know any jokes?”

(Fantasy AU in which Steve is a hedge witch with a green thumb, Bucky is a bridge troll who's new in town, and knock-knock jokes are a viable form of currency.)

It's a bittersweet ending (if you know what I mean) by relenafanel [Stucky, 1k words, Teen]

“I’ll see you around, Steve,” Bucky answers with a smirk, moving away from the counter with a wink.

Steve watches him go. Bucky’s wearing a pair of skinny jeans coated in something to give the appearance of leather. It’s impossible to not watch him go.

stuck on you by wearing_tearing [Stucky, 5k words, Teen]

“Bucky? You don’t look so hot.”

Bucky makes a tiny little sound in the back of his throat, only to start coughing. Of course he doesn’t look hot. He’s sick and he’s dying and Steve obviously isn’t attracted to him.

Decision-Making in Relationships (Paid Research Opportunity!) by castiowl [Stucky, 8k words, Teen]

Clint looked thoughtfully at the flyer. “I guess your actual roommate wouldn’t be down with it?”

Bucky frowned. “Have you met Steve Rogers?”

no way out but through by hollimichele [Stucky, 9k words, Teen]

Steve never sees it coming.

you got blood on your hands (and i know it's mine) by nighimpossible [Stucky, 3k words, Teen]

Bucky refuses to see Steve after his deprogramming.

Like What You See by daisymondays [Stucky, 8k words, Teen]

For all the time Bucky’s spent fantasizing about meeting Captain America, he’d never imagined it would be while posing nude in front of a drawing class.

🌻 A Real Boy by itsnotbleak [Stucky, 5k words, Teen]

It took the Winter Soldier three weeks to remember that human beings needed to sleep and eat.

It took Steve far too long to realise the Winter Soldier was sleeping in his bed.

Amapola by chaya [Stucky, 830 words, Teen]

Total fluff. Bucky's recovering nicely. Steve's oblivious. Sometimes it's best to set aside subtlety for action.

Knocking Boots With Sugar by buckybarnesdeservestobehappy [Stucky, 4k words, Explicit]

In between summers at college, Steve Rogers wants a new adventure beyond his lonely life in Brooklyn. He ends up in West Texas working on a dude ranch where Bucky Barnes is a long-time employee. When Bucky offers to buy Steve a drink, they end up drunk on tequila and making out in public. For the rest of the summer, they're inseparable. As the summer draws to a close, Steve realizes he doesn't want to leave.

Rogers and Associate by roe87 @jro616 [Stucky, 7k words, Teen]

When they first meet, Bucky is a hooker and Steve is a cop. She's been arrested, but Steve lets her off.

Years pass and they maintain a casual friendship, seeing each other out on the streets most nights.

Though he later makes detective, Steve loses faith in the system and quits his job.

He wants to set up as a private investigator, and he asks Bucky if she'd be his assistant.

Just in time by rainbow_nerds [Stucky, 1k words, Mature]

Bucky knew the apartment he was renting was old fashioned, but walking in the front door and finding himself transported back to 1938 was not on the list of things he had prepared himself for.

🌻 You Like What's in My Head by dontcallmebree [Stucky, 15k words, Explicit] (with art by @kocuria)

Bucky can’t decide if Steve’s a tough nut to crack or incredibly easy. The timbre of his voice, a low and almost amused, “Sure, kid,” when Bucky asks for a drink feels like something gripping him on the back of his neck.

He thinks this might be one of those moments in life he’ll pinpoint in the future and either curse at for dooming himself, or remember fondly with pride.

He’s right. Bucky Barnes blunders through falling in love with Commander Rogers and tries to find a deeper meaning behind the expensive gifts and thorough fucking.

Can I Sit Here? by BuckyFrickenBarnes [Stucky, 962 words, General]

Bucky has unusual methods for getting rid of his writer's block.

Or, Bucky needs that table.

Workplace Romance by BuckyFricken Barnes [Stucky, 1k words, General]

Bucky is under the impression that his boss hates him.

Or,

Steve needs to get better at dealing with his feelings.

🌻 1-800-MAYTAG by Miss Plum @misspluckyplum [Stucky, 1k words, Explicit]

Bucky just wants to get some housework done. It gets out of hand fast. Silly little fluff and smut romp with snarky stucky boys.

Eyes of the Forest by Lordelannette [Stucky, 7k words, Explicit] (2/8 chapters available)

When Omega Bucky Barnes comes to Eagle Lake, it was in search of wolves, a creature that had not been seen in the area for decades.

What he finds instead is Steve Rogers, a handsome, though quiet Alpha who seems to be everywhere in the forest.

A Guide to My Supernatural Fics and Series

I thought I could put together links to my fics in case anyone is interested. I also have a superwholock fic in progress, but I’ll center this purely on the SPN fandom.

It’s the Fluffy Destiel That Keeps Us Going Series

Status: in progress (accepting prompts!)

Description: This is a series of destiel adventures, featuring Sam Winchester as the best Third Wheel ever! Most of the stories stand on their own, but perhaps some of them will be related...

Changes Are Taking the Pace I’m Going Through Summary: Cas and Dean grow closer until the line between friends and more than friends is indistinguishable. Or, 3 times Cas and Dean were platonic, 2 times they weren't, and 1 when Sam lost his shit. These are five snippets of how Destiel came to be~

I Put a Spell On You Summary: There are rumours that a witch in town is acting out, putting people under spells. No person got hurt, yet, and it seems that most of her magic serves to be merely inconvenient as opposed to harmful, but is it? Team Free Will investigates, although, as per usual, there are troubles. The witch puts a spell on Cas and Dean while singing Bicycle Race by Queen that causes them to act like a couple in love (though aren’t they already?) and Sam has to find a way to break the spell. But will Cas and Dean, after facing their desires in the bluntest of ways, want the spell to end?

Take It or Leaf It Summary: Cas is a florist. Dean is an angry customer-become-regular-become-head-over-heels. Flower puns follow. Go figure.A flower shop AU. The ‘fuck you’ bouquet tumblr post inspired.

As I said, the above is still in progress/incomplete, usually one-shots or multi chapter shorter pieces for fluffy destiel (of sorts). I am accepting prompts to write, so if anyone has something they’d like to see, hit me up!

Take It or Leaf It Series

Status: in progress

Description: This series details the love story of Cas and Dean, who met at Castiel's flower shop when Dean came in to request a 'fuck you' bouquet. It grew from there, and so did their love and adoration for one another.

This sprouted from a then-one-shot from the above series, and is currently my most popular fics/fic series that utilises flower puns!

Take It or Leaf It    Summary: Cas barely had time to look up over the bouquet of lavender roses he put there before a calloused hand slammed a couple bills on the counter and his eyes met a piercing, fuming, green look surrounded by exquisite freckles all around. “Quick, how do I say ‘fuck you’ in flower?” the man said, and Cas found himself at a loss for words momentarily before snapping back to present.

Tulips Together Summary: Cas and Dean wake up after their shared night together after Cas offered Dean a place to take a shower at, and it goes all domestic (and later hot). Dean cooks breakfast, Cas takes a cold shower, and Daphne and Velma are fluffy. Also, Kelly is smug, and very excited to finally see Cas stop pining and be in his boxers with Dean standing behind him and grinning madly.

You Made My Daisy Summary: Cas is busy working at the flower shop when a customer, a tall man in a suit, strolls in asking for a bouquet to express his loathing for a colleague, he offers him his and Dean's trademark 'fuck you' bouquet. Turns out, it is Sam Winchester, the younger brother of Cas' boyfriend Dean. Hilarity and sibling banter ensues.

You Can Poppy-n Anytime Summary: Cas and Dean finally give in and it's time to meet all the important people in their immediate lives. Charlie makes a gracious appearance, Kelly makes a buddy immediately, there's smut because Cas and Dean just have the rights, and later there is dinner with Mary Winchester, Sam and Bobby, so Cas gets to meet Dean's family properly. There's more flowers, flower puns, and more cute relationship stuff between the boys.

Last Bud Not Least! Summary: It is September 28th - Cas' birthday. The Sunday starts off slow as Cas goes to his flower shop to prep for the week ahead, and Dean and Kelly lose no time preparing a surprise birthday party for him. Jimmy, Cas' twin brother, his wife Amelia and daughter Claire join the planning too. There's cats, chocolate cake, decorating of said cake (Claire helps Dean), and so much fluff Cas could die seeing the people most important to him do such a gesture for him.

That’s it for now. This post will likely expand. Again, prompts are open and welcome for the Fluffy Destiel Series!

[koo-zy]

hello! do you have any fantasy/historical jungkook x reader fic recs ?

hello lovely!! i’m so sorry i missed this yesterday :( i was actually planning on reorganizing my tumblr because i feel like no fics are ever going to be able to be found my blog LOL so hopefully that’ll be done soon!!

as for the fantasy/historical fics.. i’m honestly not too sure what “fantasy” (do demons count..? soulmates..? werewolves????) typically includes so i’m just going to include a bunch of fics that hopefully fit in :”) here are the first ones that i thought of + summaries included in their main posts!

also.. i’m sure i missed a lot of amazing fics (mainly because i’m dumb as hell and don’t really know what can be included in “fantasy”) and would like to apologize in advance!! 

@inktae ’s entire masterlist (they have a lot of fantasy fics!)

while this isn’t just jungkook recs, @ficswithluv had a fantasy category a few weeks ago!

@kpopfanfictrash ‘s jungkook masterlist

@fortunexkookie ‘s jungkook masterlist

one shots!

énouement - @littlemisskookie Mulan!AU

War is Hell, but it’s what you had to do to take your brother’s place. Of course, between the days of Hell are little slices of Heaven you’d call your Captain, Jeon Jungkook.

midas - @gukyi 

jeon jungkook was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the power to turn whatever he wants into pure gold. you were born with healing and invisibility powers but without a cent to your name. so when you’re plucked off of the streets for pickpocketing and assigned to be his minder as punishment, you realize you’re going to have to overcome a lot more than class differences if either of you are going to get what you want.

i will not lose! - @jimlingss Magic!AU

A single bet - use every means to make Jeon Jungkook fall in love with you.

a piece of the moonlight - @/jimlingss Mulan!AU

For your loved ones, the people who are waiting at home, the people who have died - you will fight. And sometimes to fight means to sacrifice: who you really are and the person you really love.

dynasty - @/jimlingss Historical!AU

It’s no secret that the Emperor is infertile. But even so, a girl is selected every three months and brought to become his concubine in hopes of conceiving the next heir. This time, it’s you. And in order to prevent execution, Jeon Jungkook might just aid you in conception.

game of temptation ft. knj, myg, kth - @/jimlingss Succubus!AU 

As a succubus, your beauty is unrivaled and shaped to tempt mortals. But it’s still hard to resist Taehyung, and there’s little you can do once you’ve been coerced to do his bidding for him. This time, you find yourself entering the affluent Kim Household as a housemaid. And these poor humans don’t know your intentions are far from being angelic.

knot today - @kinktae

(IDK IF WEREWOLVES COUNT BUT JERHFBDSKNZX THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!)

When your first heat approaches and you are left partnerless, who better to turn to than your alpha roommate that you’ve spent the better half of your life hiding your feelings for?

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: hii! so the royal wedding of prince harry and meghan is today, and since my bias is JK and since i’m such a sucker for royal stuff, can i reuest a fic of bts all being royal of 7 different kingdom, and all of them being invited to jin’s wedding and the girl (oc) is also invited and kookie met her there, and eventually took an interest at her? the girl is also royalty from other kingdom. thanks!

werewolf!jungkook - @/hayjeon

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: Werewolf!jk? (im sorry ik it’s overused and unoriginal) where he and his mate have pups to take care of and they’re quite a mischievous bunch!

there for you - @cupofteaguk Hogwarts!AU

Jungkook is always known for doing things unapologetically, and it makes sense given how almost nothing gets under his skin—almost nothing, but maybe there’s an exception that takes a form of a muggleborn with the shy smile and quirky spells.

say you won’t let go - @/cupofteaguk Soulmates!AU

You’ve been eighteen years old for ten years when Jungkook first moves in 

new romantics - @/cupofteaguk Hogwarts!AU

Jeon Jungkook will go down in history as one of the best Quidditch players that ever graced the Hogwarts scene. It seems like he always gets what he wants—his life is very predictable in that sense. What he cannot predict, however, is the newest weekend employee wiping down the tables at the Three Broomsticks.

a cinderella story - @suhdays Modern Cinderella!AU

you are forced to work multiple jobs as you live under your stepmothers roof. unable to move out and strive for complete independence, you do what you can in order save enough. turns out, as a college student that is harder than you thought. so, you distract yourself by joining online chat groups in which you meet a boy that goes to your school. that boy? none other than the rugby star himself, jeon jeongguk. it doesn’t prove to be an issue until he asks to meet you at an upcoming halloween party. he’s never noticed you before so why not hide yourself in order to live your dreams, if only for a moment?

explorer - @1kook Alien!AU

Jungkook does not want to impress the frankly tyrannical ways of his planet on you. He just wants to stay here and keep your couch warm for you, hold your hair back when you wash your face in the morning.

rottenfolk - @junqkook Faerie!AU

a look was as hazardous as chemicals, a kiss as perilous as poison; his eyes and lips felt akin to a cure, but he was purely venom.

the young wolf - @/junqkook Game of Thrones!AU

he was promised to another, meant for another to hold and to love and to kiss. but when his hand lingered on yours for a moment too long to be proper, and when his eyes held yours for a beat too long to be a passing glance, you allowed desire to creep into your veins, to take root inside your heart. perhaps before you might have been permitted to love him freely. perhaps he might have even been promised to you instead. but war was no place for the wants and desires of two people, no matter how much they yearned for it to be.

the lighthouse - @rubycoast S2L!AU

(im not too sure if this is considered fantasy but its one of my favs!)

you and jungkook had one thing in common: you were both lost souls stagnant in the search of some fulfillment. the one of many differences was that your story had been written on your sleeves, while jungkook’s was a story needed to be unriddled.

black magic - @hansolmates​ Magic Uni!AU

a witch with an ambition for learning, you stumble across a crushing spell in the middle of the forbidden section. of course you have to try it out! what happens when the crushing spell not only has jeon jungkook crushing on you, but you crushing on him?

the sea & the storm - @jamaisjoons Fantasy!AU

the sea is a powerful mistress. she is calm and beautiful. she is mysterious and alluring. she is a force to be reckoned with. above all, however, she is lonely. until she meets him. fantasy au.

the lionheart’s oath - @sugaxjpg Knight & Princess!AU

There was no happy ending, no dragon slayer to save the kingdom and get the princess — there was only him: Jungkook. A simple orphan that was lucky enough to be invited into the castle, a former homeless thief that had found shelter in the form of an elysian heir. Now, after twelve years by your side, he was about to lose you to the world you sought to explore.

ghosts just wanna have fun - @/sugaxjpg Psychic & MedSchool!AU

When Jungkook discovered that he could communicate with dead people, the last thing he expected was that they would be there to give him romantic advice.

wartime child - @ktheist Wizard!AU

raising a baby in wartime isn’t easy. but when your baby starts showing signs of magical abilities, you’re forced to ring up the only other person you know he takes after: jeon jungkook.

birth of an empress - @/ktheist Dragon Slayer!AU

partners for three years and friends for longer, jungkook thought you’d remain so until he saw you with the knight at the merchant’s trade.

alternatively, the friendly neighborhood wizard trying to propose to the infamous dragon slayer in the middle of slaying a dragon? now, that’s classic.

series/two shots!

fear in your eyes - @/gukyi Werewolf!AU

(again, idk if werewolves count but hifksdjcx !!!!)

there’s a werewolf in that forest behind your house, they told you, and he’ll eat you before you can even beg for mercy. 

the worshiper series - @/jimlingss 

Long ago, there were gods who resided in Heaven -- existing to watch over and protect the universe. Each of them had their own flaws, trials and tribulations; some which were more sparing than others, but these are their stories...

a promise of freedom - @/jimlingss Wartime!AU

War is cruel and its inhumanity has not spared you. Captured by the enemy, you were brought to the front lines to heal their wounded. But after one night of saving a particular man’s life, he swears to fulfill any wish of yours.

one year, my love - @/hayjeon Historical!AU

You forge a marriage contract with the strangely speaking man who suddenly stumbled into your town with memory loss, but little do you know that he’s actually the lost Crown Prince, and a lot can happen between a married man and woman in one year.

demigod!au drabbles - @/hayjeon

an ask in their inbox regarding the prompt: i have a supernatural au prompt! how bout daughter of hades/loner!reader and son of zeus/bully! jungkook?

into the woods - @/junqkook Goblin!AU

getting hurt and stumbling upon a goblin in the forest leaves you completely at his mercy, though you aren’t sure if that’s necessarily a bad thing.

lionheart - @/junqkook Magic!AU

as a sorcerer, it is of the utmost importance that you keep your magic a secret from everyone. when you become prince jungkook’s servant, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep your identity hidden; especially when you fall in love with him.

a royal exchange - @/hansolmates

she’s the man!au where the princess impersonates her brother yoongi in order to finish his degree on time while yoongi is thrusted into princely duties. jeongguk is in the mess purely through room arrangement

knight!jungkook x princess!reader - @/ktheist

a series with 27 parts!

Cockles

I found out this morning that apparently Misha knows that Cockles exists. So... that’s fun. I’ve never been sure where I stand on RPF, so I thought I may as well read some and decide what I think after. Anyway, here’s what I read!

Revenge of the Subtext by MittenWraith on AO3. (80,064 words).

Tags: Case Fic, Fake Relationship, Canon Divergence after 10.20, French Mistake style AU, Mutual Pining, Fluff, Humor, Smut, Crack, Light Angst, Canon-Typical Violence, Supernatural Convention, Human Castiel, Switch Dean, Switch Castiel, First Kiss, First Time, Enthusiastic Content, Love Confessions.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Descrition:  Things are finally settling back down to normal since Cas gave up his grace to cure Dean of the Mark. Well, as normal as their lives are allowed to get. Sam relentlessly finds new cases to work, one right after the other; but Dean thinks they need a break to let Cas have some purely human fun, for once. It’s true they had a difficult time readjusting to humanity at first, but Dean thinks Cas deserves to do more than ride around in the back seat and follow them on monster hunts. Then again, Dean’s a little bit scared to ask exactly what Cas would want, just in case it doesn’t include spending quite so much time with him. And with Sam (of course).

Sam’s been tracking a series of odd occurrences in Laramie, Wyoming for the last few weeks that looks just enough like a case to finally convince Dean they should go check it out. Whether they like it or not, the goddess responsible for the weirdness in Laramie takes an immediate interest in the three less-than-perfectly-happy hunters who’ve stumbled into her town.

Notes: Absolutely adorable, such a good case and beautifully written. There are some other works in the same series which are also absolutely fabulous!

He Who Laughs Last (The Joke Is on Us) by anoradh on AO3. (4,248 words).

Tags: RPF, Fluff, Pranks and Practical Jokes, Silly.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: For the prompt: Jensen and Misha think they’re pulling the mother of all pranks on Jared by pretending to be a couple, but they’re in way over their heads.

Notes: This was cute and I love the sheer panic they caused in Jared - I couldn’t stop laughing.

Through the Screen by ArchOfImagine on AO3. (28,722 words).

Tags: Alternate Universe, Angst and Humor, Season 9 Divergence.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: "What would you do if you woke up in the Supernatural world?" A fan asked Misha. Little did the actor know, but a few weeks later he would actually be finding out the real answer to that question. Because when Metatron tosses Castiel out of Heaven at the beginning of season 9 -- he tosses him right into Misha's universe. Now Misha is stuck in the Supernatural world, looking at his husband's face but a different man.

Notes: This was funny and cute and just generally adorable!

Is It Really A Mistake? by BriMaco518 on AO3. (6,819 words).

Tags: Alternate Universe - The French Mistake, s6e15 The French Mistake, Angst, Coda, Fluff, Happy Ending.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: Dean and Sam Winchester find themselves in a world where the supernatural does not exist. Everyone calls them Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki respectively. Their efforts to protect the key that Balthazar gave them from Virgil, one of Raphael's angels, should be Dean's focus. Yet the elder Winchester finds himself distracted by the actor that plays Castiel, Misha Collins. Who also turns out to be the husband of Jensen Ackles.

Notes: Once again hit by not reading the tags, but if you read the sequel then that gets sorted out. Also, this is adorable and I actually saw the gifset it was based on afterwards, which confused me for a full minute.

Mistakes Are Better When They’re French by maraudersgirl47 on AO3. (21,791 words).

Tags: Episode: s06e15 The French Mistake, Fluff, Angst.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Notes: This was funny and touching and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the ending!

Description: Number One: Dean would definitely never appear on a soap opera.

Number Two: Dean Winchester did not wear makeup.

And Number Three: He was not gay!

God, Cas, whoever was listening - Please get them the hell out of here.

Fever by lysanatt on AO3. (13,624 words).

Tags: Romance, RPF, Post S8, No Spoilers, Hurt/Comfort, First Time.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: It's Christmas and the otherwise so mild Vancouver is hit by a rare blizzard. Misha is hit by the flu and Jensen is hit by the urge to take care of Misha. Of course there are unexpected consequences to it all.

Notes: This was so sweet -  I love a good hurt/comfort and the way they wrote Misha was amazing!

Twisted French Mistake by literaryoblivion on AO3. (3,170 words).

Tags: Episode: s6e15 The French Mistake, Parallel Universes, Alternate Universe, First Kiss, Kissing, Mistaken Identity.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: If Sam and Dean get sent to the Supernatural set, where do Jensen and Jared end up? That's right, the world of Sam and Dean. But they're safe, and Castiel checks in on them and ends up learning more about himself and Dean from Jensen.

Notes: This was a really good idea - I remember watching the episode and wondering where Jensen and Jared were!

The Bubble by thunderpuffin429 on AO3. (21,035 words).

Tags: First Time, Fluff and Smut, Feelings, Character Bleed, Kissing.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: Cas has to choose between Heaven and the Winchesters. Again. For the final time.

Notes: The Destiel part of this was phenomenal but the Cockles part was mostly smut, which is fine but made me a bit uncomfy just because I’m ace and I’m not a massive fan of reading it. So, it wasn’t my favourite, but that’s entirely on me for not reading the tags properly.

Do You Know What You Think You Know by ljunattainable on AO3. (5,761 words).

Tags: Fluff and Smut, Hurt/Comfort, First Time, Romance.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: Everyone knows Jensen and Misha are together. Nobody even thinks about it. They just know. Except Jensen and Misha. They don’t know. A few things happen in the space of a few weeks that leave everyone at least knowing the same thing.

Notes: This was sweet and I loved how everyone assumed they were dating and they still didn’t know.

Method Acting (Or ‘In Which Misha Is Not, In Fact, Kidding Jensen’) by HigherMagic on AO3. (5,567 words).

Tags: Character Bleed.

My Rating: 3 stars.

Description: There's a little surprise in the script for the latest episode, Misha is unruffled, and Jensen is not amused, but he's determined to put on the best damn performance he can, 'cause it's the last season and, hey, he owes it to Dean.

Notes: This was pretty good but it did get me thinking... can you IMAGINE if we got a Destiel sex scene? Tumblr would have imploded. There would be a national holiday. 

Second Take by anonymous on AO3. (6,237 words).

Tags: Polyamory, First Kiss, Psychology, Character Bleed, Internal Monologue, Internal Conflict, Friendship/Love.

My Rating: 3 stars.

Description: Wherein Destiel becomes canon, and Jensen and Misha face the consequences of their first kiss.

Notes: This was fairly sweet, and Jensen’s internal monologue was written really well.

Still undecided, I think, but I hope you enjoyed! Some of the fics came off better than others, but some just seemed a little bit... not right? I don’t know how to explain it. Anyway, please remember that Cockles stuff should stay inside the fandom. I hope you find some fics you like!
