AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Okarun was crying and begging for Momo to run away! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY BONES D,: This is so well done, it really conveys fear and anguish! I congratulate you, your art is amazing :D... What other negative effects could Okarun's curse have? Thank you
Tumblr media
Omg anon you made my day when you sent this!!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to write such lovely things šŸ˜­šŸ’• I'm very flattered that you liked that little detail so much! I had wondered if I'd written it too messily for anyone to read XD
Anyhoo, here is a sketch page for you~
I'm more of a draw-er than a words-er, but I wanted to ramble a bit here under the cut ^^ Thanks again for the ask, I am so happy to have another reason to yap about Turbo Okarun~
While I'm glad that the manga/anime didn't spend too much time on Okarun's struggles in canon, I am having So Much Fun thinking of ways to torture this guy haha. We see him complaining that the curse hurts him in the first half of the season, but he doesn't actually seem to end up with any lasting damage! In my mind, it'd make sense for him to end up more fatigued or to suffer from random nosebleeds or other internal injuries due to the curse manipulating his body the way it does.
I also looooved the instances in episodes 5/6 when he transformed without meaning to! Very fun to see his emotions getting the better of him~
Now, if I were a fic writer, I would be so interested in exploring physical side effects in something like a sick fic. What if he detransforms and finds that he can't warm back up? Still corpse-cold like his yokai form instead of human temperature? Or, I could take a page out of NatsuYuu's book and have him come down with a cold/fever as a consequence of some of his tougher fights? Lots of good potential for angst there, for sure ^^
And lastly, what if he was on a timer the minute he transformed?? What if staying transformed and going all out began chipping away at his sanity? It's not his power, after all. Stay in Turbo Mode too long and suddenly he's a prisoner in his own mind. The curse takes over and he's just along for the ride, no longer able to control his body. >:3
Aaand that's it for now! Thank you for your support and for listening to my rambling haha. I hope you enjoyed the art/headcanons ^^

Pairing: Mark Webber x Sugarbaby!reader
Warnings: A lot of use of daddy but only from random twitter users, reader is implied to be quite a bit younger than Mark but an exact number is never given.
Notes: I should start on the Nico fic in not too long (probably a bit later in the week. But here is the Mark smau:)
Request: Can i ask for nico rosberg fluff or a mark webber sugar daddy smau?
Summary: Mark Webber looks like he should have a sugar baby attached to his side, so why doesn't he?

hello angel šŸ’•
as much as i love confident, cocky jason in bed, i also think he doesn’t have a lot of experience (just go with me here). between dying young and his all consuming question for revenge, i don’t think he’s actually had that many sexual partners or relationships. simply where would he find the time? like he’s familiar with the mechanics, knows what feels good and how to make a partner feel good, but he doesn’t really have a frame of reference for his preferences.
but that’s the exciting part! he gets to discover what really turns him on and gets him off with you! he figures out that he likes pinning you down and immobilizing you with his body but that ropes are a no go. that fucking you through at least four of your own orgasms first has him cumming so hard there’s stars in his vision. that he doesn’t like pain unless it’s from your nails clawing up his back. everything’s up for grabs and you get to figure it all out with him.
sunnie (@fic-over-cannon)
let out audible noises reading this...my entire body is tingling sunnie like you just CANNOT do this to me. i really don't even...how do i add to this??? what do i say other than i love you!!!!
this basically being the precursor to confident jason?? the first time you guys have sex, it's pretty vanilla, he makes you cum regardless, and it's still amazing and better than most guysĀ with experience, but you can tell he's still a bit unsure of himself. he still hesitates to move too quickly, he's still scared to hurt you, and he still asks, "is this okay?" and "does this feel good?" but not in a sexy "i want to hear you" kinda way, in an "i'm worried i'm doing a bad job" kinda way.
like i said, the sex was never bad, but boy, does it get better when he discovers what he likes. you're play fighting when he finds out he likes it when you can't move under him. he's got you pinned between him and your living room carpet, trying to get out from his hold, and he's literally got a growing boner pressed into you through his pants. ropes are a no-go because not only does he have awful memories associated with them, but the prospect of not being able to touch you and you not being able to touch him pisses him off.
he finds out he likes it when you leave scratches on him one random night after you successfully sneak out of a wayne enterprises gala. expensive shoes and an even more expensive dress on the floor, but those pretty red nails you'd gotten on a whim stay attached to your fingers, leaving bright red lines up and down his back.
he likes it when you wear lingerie but thinks it's hotter when you wear cute matching pajama sets. he's fond of red, but green's his favorite color; you have to stay vigilant with birth control around christmas time. he'll never do public places but a bathroom or car here and there he won't say no to. he likes sex in the morning and in the shower. he likes it in the kitchen and on the couch but prefers the bed. he's not opposed to the floor, but he'll only do it there when he's desperate.
he gets turned on when you show interest in his hobbies and even more turned on when you talk about yours. he likes overstimulating you but not to the point where you're in pain, and he loves getting head but loves eating you out more.
his biggest turn-on is verbal consent; he wants to hear that you want him, and if you want him to do anything unconventional in any way, that's how you go about it. tell him in the middle of dinner how badly you need him, and he'll politely excuse you from the table, drive you guys a few miles away and then pull over and fuck you silly.

helloooo first time asker, long time lurker; pls recommend me some of your fave fellow harringrove writers/pages xx
btw, your art and your writing simply blows me away.
Oh my god, I love this! Also, hi! Thank you so much for this ask! Okay, so...this is gonna be a huge list. No particular order.
Writers
@azrielgreen Az writes fantastic fics, including Harringrove and Metalsandwich. I love her fics In the Water, with You andRooms (Whose Thighs Are Lilac Rose Gardens) so much.
@runraerun Rae's characterization of Billy is just incredible. I'll never grow tired of that. Her fic Easy as 123Ā and put up your dukes are great examples of this!
@noxdrawstrash They write AND draw. Their Metalsandwich fic The Long Night has amazing worldbuilding, pacing, and such a unique take on Omegaverse that even I (who doesn't typically enjoy omegaverse) love it so much.
@un-buttoned Their fic when the bones are goodĀ is an absolute Harringrove staple and I love their other fics too. Kate_button just knows how to capture this balance between playful and sharp in Billy.
@lazybakerart Draws and writes as well. They have such a lovely stylised artstyle and their writing just incredible too. I really loved their oneshot The Art of the Dick Pic and their fic Cherry.
@brawlite Another excellent writer. Their fic if i stare too longĀ is another Harringrove staple to me.
Some other honorable mentions I still intend to read but haven't gotten around to yet: @shieldofiron @dame-zoom-a-lot @fkinkindagauche @finalmoondragon @dragonflylady77
@medusapelagia @suotar
Artists
@avalonlights They have such a lovely style. I adore seeing their art.
@aggressiveviking @aggressiveviking-art Lovely, unique, and recognizable style. I love the way they draw Billy and the way they blend the feeling of traditional art with digital application.
@ihni Their illustrations are top tier and they truly offer something so unique to the fandom. 100% an obligated stop on the Harringrove tour.
@stablefuse (formerly @wrecked-fuse) draws incredible (n)sfw Harringrove art which can be found here.
@racketti They have such a lovely soft style.
@delessss Such a recognisable style and I love the way they draw Billy!
More honorable mentions: @cvpidart @niku30
Blogs
@fawcett-hairspray-club @prettyboy-like-you @lovebillyhargrove
I'm 100% forgetting people because it's A LOT (and I'm getting tired) but this should feed you for some timeāœØšŸ’•

hii, I don't know if you can and especially if you want to do this fic, but I just finished watching the Wimbledon final (I'm a Carlos Alcaraz girly) and I wanted to ask you if you could make a Leclerc sister! reader x Carlos Alcaraz (with the addition of Charles, Arthur and Lorenzo obviously) if you don't want to write it I apologize for the inconvenience, but if you do I thank you so muchšŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ’•
(Sorry if My english Is not good, but Is not My native language)
hi! thank you so much for the request 🫶
i tried my best with this but i don’t know much about tennis and i’ve only watched like half the matches of wimbledon this year so i had to make my dad give me a quick break down of the finale… i know this is not as good as you probably expected but i hope you like it either way!!
wimbledon winner | carlos alcaraz
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: carlos alcaraz x leclerc sister!reader
warnings: very bad descriptions of tennis?
Tumblr media
you can hardly contain your excitement as you guide your family through the bustling crowds of the wimbledon grounds. today is the day your boyfriend is competing in the final against none other than novak djokovic. the atmosphere is electric, and the excitement is palpable.
you had invited your entire family, wanting to share this special moment of your life with them and your brothers, charles and arthur, are just as—if not more—thrilled thrilled than you, though their enthusiasm is more subdued. your oldest brother, lorenzo, and his girlfriend, charlotte, are chatting animatedly, while your mother walks beside you, her eyes wide with awe at the grandeur of it all.
"i stilll can't believe we're here," arthur says, glancing around with a grin. "watching carlos in the final. it's incredible."
"he's going to do great," charles adds, giving you a reassuring smile. "he's worked so hard for this."
"i know," you reply, feeling a surge of pride for your boyfriend. "he's been training non-stop. he deserves this."
as you make your way to your seats, you can't help but feel a rush of nerves. the stadium is enormous, and the crowd's energy is almost overwhelming, but having your family here with you calms you a bit.
you find your seats and settle in, your heart pounding with anticipation. the match begins, and the tension is palpable. djokovic is a formidable opponent, but carlos is playing with a determination you've never seen before.
every point is a battle, and the crowd is on the edge of their seats. you find yourself gripping charles' hand, almost breaking his fingers, but he doesn’t mind. he’s unable to look away from the court as well, finding the match as exciting as you. carlos is moving with such grace and power, each shot more impressive than the last.
"he's incredible," charlotte whispers, her eyes wide with admiration. "i've never seen anyone play like this.ā€
"he's got this," lorenzo says confidently, sensing your nervousness. "you can see it in his eyes."
as the match progresses, carlos begins to pull ahead. his serves are precise, his volleys unstoppable. the crowd erupts with cheers, and you can't help but join in, your heart swelling with pride.
when the final point is won, and carlos emerges victorious, the stadium explodes with applause. you jump to your feet, tears of joy streaming down your face. your family is cheering just as loudly, their pride evident in their faces.
carlos looks up into the stands, his eyes searching for you. when he sees you, his face lights up with a radiant smile. he lifts his racket in triumph, and you blow him a kiss, your heart just about to burst.
"he did it!" you exclaim, turning to hug your mother. "he really did it!"
"we knew he could," she replies, her voice filled with emotion. "he's an incredible player."
as the celebrations continue, you make your way down to the court. carlos is surrounded by reporters and fans, but when he sees you, he breaks away and runs to you, scooping you up in his arms.
"you were amazing," you say, your voice choked with emotion. "i'm so proud of you."
"i couldn't have done it without you," he replies, his eyes shining with love. "having you here, knowing you were watching . . . it made all the difference."
you kiss him, the world fading away as you lose yourself in the moment.
your family joins you quickly after, and carlos is soon enveloped in hugs and congratulations.
"you were fantastic, mate," charles says, clapping carlos on the back. "absolutely incredible."
"thank you," carlos replies, his smile never wavering. "it means a lot to have you all here."
the rest of the day is a blur of celebrations and happiness. you can hardly believe it's real, that carlos has won the wimbledon final. but as you stand by his side, surrounded by your family, you know that this is just the beginning.

Three Words, Three Syllables
And here it is! I am still so engrossed with the beautiful way this fic is written that I HAD to get this done before the inspiration left me!
Please, I IMPLORE Y'ALL! GIVE THIS FIC A READ!!!

@luv-again I'm sorry for not checking out your work earlier. But I'm glad I found this one in specific. I ADORE symbolism and internal dialogue, it's one of my favorite things to read and write. That was amazing, thank you so much for sharing it with us! Hopefully this fanart is to your liking, did it at the spurr of the moment haha.
You might find something obvious hidden within šŸ¤”
And I'm certain Amy wasn't wearing anything like this, but I wanted to accentuate the red on her as the embodiment of passion, love and danger.
I'll try to write a short review on AO3, but for now I gotta get my 2 hours of sleep before work šŸ˜†šŸ«¶

Do you or your followers have any recommendations for some good SatoSugu x Reader fics here on tumblr or ao3? It feels like I've read all the good ones out there (yours included, which are all amazing btw šŸ’•) but maybe there are a few that have slipped under my radar and escaped my notice. lol
idk that many either! ik i rave about satosugu poly fics buuuut i don't read that many! its mainly cuz there's not a long which is a little surprising!
but here are my favs! (if anyone else wants to add on pls pls do so!)
Like Hoarded Gold (Dark) - @inorganicone2230
Dark! Satosugu, where they manipulate the MC and isolate the MC into basically relying on them for everything. It's hilarious because the satosugu have healthy boundaries with each other but they are totally fine with manipulating and gaslighting the mc into staying with them. It's super dark, creepy, and just overall amazing!!!
Obsessed (Dark) - @kkatsukiswife
okay fine not technically satosugu buuuut it's so so good so pls read!!! it's fem!gojo dark sapphic fic so you know its amazing. basically the mc is fem!suguru's ex and satoru gets jealous cuz of how perfect the mc is but then ends up obsessing over the mc too. so ig it kinda counts as satosugu cuz suguru and the mc used to date!
Welcome Home - NovaRising
satosugu +sukuna but still counts imo. mc grandfather passes away so they go back to Japan only to realize three strangers are living in their grandfathers house. Super super good! I know it's technically not completed buuuut imo the story is perfect as it is!
Surprise! - @thee-horny-thicky
amazing!!!! i love it so so much!!! mc is suguru's gf but they both go back to visit satoru in japan and things escalate from there. And the author did mention that more satosugu threesome fics were being planned so lets cross our fingers!!!!!
Nurture(Dark) - @yandere-daydreams
There is a first part, but its satoru-centric. The story is told in alternating flashbacks where suguru is the mc's past and satoru is the mc's present (for now). I especially love it cuz the mc is older (like mid-thirties). it's so refreshing cuz typically the mc is always like late teens and early twenties. This fic actually inspired Monsoon! I totally forgot to add that in the a/n
honorable mentions
Stuck in Jogo's body - 2BeorNot2Be
once again not a satosugu fic but this is so underrated despite the amazing idea??? its exactly what it sounds, reader swaps bodies with jogo and has to pair up with gojo to figure out how to undo the swap. it's so amazing pls go read I'm begging you!!!!!

hyunjin - wolf in sheep’s clothing
Tumblr media
The rain pattered comfortingly against the window you were leaning against. It shut all of the noise around you out for a few seconds, that was the only calm you got.
Then you were yanked back by your arm and came face to face with a boy about the same age as you. Your brows furrowed as you searched the room to lock eyes with your friend, Liz. She had been the one in charge of planning your birthday outing. You internally sighed, what had she planned now?
The boy took a seat next to you while four others sat down elsewhere, one each for every girl. You had specifically asked her not to bring any boys. Sending a glare her way, you bitterly started sipping on your drink while avoiding the guy’s attempts to talk to you.
ā€˜ā€™ Oh relax, I just invited some guys. They’re from another high school, so there’s no need to worry. ā€˜ā€™Ā 
You felt tired all of a sudden. What was supposed to be a small get-together with your friend at a restaurant suddenly turned into a small party that never seemed to end. For once, you were grateful for her fake ID that made it possible for you to have some alcohol though.
ā€˜ā€™ Not having a good birthday? ā€˜ā€™
You jumped. The guy next to you had just spoken. He sounded very rough and direct, seemingly not caring if you were going to continue ignoring him, he must’ve really wanted to talk to you.Ā 
You finally looked at him. He was handsome, with dark long hair that almost reached his shoulders, plump lips and cat-like eyes. Even though he was sitting down, it wasn’t hard to guess that he was tall from the way his legs stretched out under the table slightly uncomfortably.Ā 
Really, you were lucky, but you were almost certain you’d never go home with him. You had never had a hookup before and the likelihood of you seeing him again was low. You made a mental note to let him down gently at the end of the night.
Still, there was no point in being rude the rest of the outing so you gave him a slight smile and shrugged nonchalantly. ā€˜ā€™ Could be better.ā€˜ā€™
He laughed, and his laugh was just as beautiful as his exterior, you felt your stomach jolt with butterflies.
ā€˜ā€™ Has it at least gotten better since I got here? ā€˜ā€™
You considered it while looking around the room. You didn’t like the people your friend had brought, the ones she claimed wanted to get to know you better, so they begged to come with.
ā€˜ā€™ Yeah, I guess so, ā€˜ā€™ you finally admitted.
That made him satisfied. You saw him smirk to himself before leaning back, his shoulders slouched and he looked a lot less tense. You wondered why he’d been tense at all, maybe he also got nervous when meeting new people.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ I’m Hyunjin. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ I’m y/n, ā€˜ā€™ you quietly answered.
A tap on your shoulder shifted your attention away from the stranger. You saw one of Liz’s friends looking down at you.
ā€˜ā€™ I’m leaving now, ā€˜ā€™ she swayed from side to side, almost tipping over from the alcohol coursing through her veins, ā€˜ā€™ happy birthday. ā€˜ā€™
You gave her a small smile and waved her off; due to not feeling close with her, you didn’t mind that she was leaving early, besides, she’d looked bored the whole night like she couldn’t wait to leave anyways.
Another one of Liz’s friends must’ve overheard the conversation, because she quickly butted in as soon as the other one left. She told you that she and another girl were leaving, taking two of the guys with them and only leaving Liz and the last guy, except for the one glued to your side of course.
The night dragged on, but you were starting to enjoy yourself a lot more as it progressed into something more calm and relaxed. The rain outside continued to patter against the window, increasing in heaviness the later it got.
Around 2 am, everyone’s attention was drawn to Liz yawning dramatically. She stretched her arms up and then stood, the small smirk she gave the guy didn’t go unnoticed by you.
ā€˜ā€™ I think it’s time for me to go home now. But I had a good time, and I hope you did too, y/n. ā€˜ā€™
She came over and pulled you into a hug, drunkenly mumbling in your ear, ā€˜ā€™ I love you, happy birthday. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Are you sure you’ll be okay? ā€˜ā€™
Gesturing at the guy, she winked. He had started standing up and getting ready to leave too, you weren’t that surprised, they looked like they’d been hitting it off.
ā€˜ā€™ Definitely, he’s taking me home. You should let him do the same with you, ā€˜ā€™ Hyunjin blushed as she nudged her head towards his direction.Ā 
You didn’t get a chance to reply. She turned and threw her arm around the guy. You couldn’t help pouting slightly as you watched them go, knowing that you were alone with Hyunjin now; it was bound to get a little awkward when you’d try to get home and also gently reject him.
As if he could read your mind, he stood up too and started reaching for his jacket. He handed you yours and the two of you made it to the entrance. It was pouring outside now, so loudly that you could barely hear his voice.
ā€˜ā€™ Do you live close by? ā€˜ā€™
You sighed, contemplating how on earth you’d get home. ā€˜ā€™ No, I took a taxi here. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ I don’t think you’ll get home. There’s a storm coming, ā€˜ā€™ he said gently, sounding sorry for you.
You felt sorry for you too, but mostly stupid. How could you have missed the weather report on today of all days? That should’ve been the first thing you checked in the morning. Mentally preparing yourself, you turned to him and began with a small smile, which undoubtedly came out more like a grimace.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ Listen, I’ve had a really good time but I should go. Thank you for keeping me company. ā€˜ā€™
He frowned and almost looked at you like you were stupid, which made you shy away from his gaze; you felt like sinking into your spot.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ But how though? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ What? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ How are you going to get home? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Oh, well I guess I’ll just stay at a motel or something. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ No way. They’re quite expensive around here, only creeps stay in those and most of them are closed or have shut down in this area. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ None in a walking distance? ā€˜ā€™ you disappointedly asked, hoping there was at least one you could stay at.
ā€˜ā€™ None. ā€˜ā€™
Silence filled the air between you two. During it, you were pretty certain that you were thinking of the same thing that he was. Your eyes met and he immediately looked away, rubbing the nape of his neck awkwardly.
ā€˜ā€™ You could…you could stay at my place. I only live five minutes away.ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ By car? ā€˜ā€™ you shamelessly asked, looking for a way out.
ā€˜ā€™ By foot. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Oh. ā€˜ā€™
He quickly said, ā€˜ā€™ you don’t have to. I just think it’s best, with the weather and everything. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Yeah, ā€˜ā€™ you absentmindedly said, already thinking of all the ways it could go wrong if you came with him.Ā 
He was a complete stranger that you had met for the first time just a few hours ago and you knew nothing about him. But you were also realistically thinking of your choices and what few safe and cheap options you had, or rather didn’t have. You were also a student after all, you couldn’t spend too much.
ā€˜ā€™ Have you decided yet? ā€˜ā€™
You looked up from the ground and saw he was half-way out of the door. The chilliness from the outside crept in and swooped in some water that splashed on you, it only made you more confident in your choice.
ā€˜ā€™ Yes. I’ll go with you. ā€˜ā€™
*******
His apartment was actually five minutes away, just like he had said. That gave you some inclination to trust him.Ā 
You briefly traced your fingers over the different books he had in his shelves as he left you alone for a few minutes. You weren’t sure what he was doing, probably not showering since you couldn’t hear it running. But you didn’t question it. You felt too curious to resist snooping around in his apartment.Ā 
After taking another lap around, you sat down on the couch. What you had gathered was that he was a very clean and organized person. Despite being a high-schooler like you, there were no signs of dirty laundry, stains on the white carpet or even a speck of dust.
When he came back, you could see from afar that he was holding something in his hands, it looked like one of those masks that you could buy at the Halloween stores. While making his way over to you, he dimmed the lights and then sat down very close, so close that your knees were touching.
ā€˜ā€™ Do you like it? ā€˜ā€™
Your cheeks burned hot. ā€˜ā€™ Did you…see me? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Yes, it’s not a big apartment you know, ā€˜ā€™ he laughed heartily, you swooned quietly at his smile. He had a little bit of a golden retriever type of personality, it was very comforting.
A question that had entered your mind a while back reappeared and you felt quite intrigued to hear his answer to it.
ā€˜ā€™ Do you live alone? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Yeah, since a few years back. It’s nice but expensive. ā€˜ā€™
You wanted to ask about his parents but there was likely a good reason that he lived alone at such a young age, so you didn’t push it further. You only nodded and gave a half-smile. Yet, your mind couldn’t help spinning with theories - were his parents dead? Was he not close with them? Was he rich? Was this not his apartment?
So caught up in your mind, you didn’t notice when he started leaning into you. You jumped loudly when his hand was gently placed on your thigh.
ā€˜ā€™ Should we go to my room? It’s getting late. ā€˜ā€™Ā 
When he saw that your eyes had fallen to his hand, he slid it down to your lap where he intertwined your fingers. You let yourself be pulled up and dragged away, almost in a daze.Ā 
One moment, you were looking around his room with a puzzled expression, the next you were sprawled out on the bed with Hyunjin on top of you; his mouth lowering down to meet yours in passionate kisses that knocked all air out of your lungs.
The rejection you had been preparing before was long gone from your mind.
All you could think of was the slight taste of alcohol on his lips and how he occasionally teased the inside of your mouth with his tongue, sending chills all over you. You obliged silently when he started pulling your clothes off and almost looked at him like a puppy waiting for its treat while watching him get undressed with your widened eyes.
You parted your lips, ready for him to come close to you again. But he surprised you instead by leaving you hanging. He went somewhere in the apartment and came back holding the same mask he had brought to the living room.
ā€˜ā€™ What’s that for? ā€˜ā€™
He stirred in place, his back muscles flexing in tension. Then he turned and the smile was back.
ā€˜ā€™ I’ve heard that some girls like when guys wear masks, ā€˜ā€™ he shrugged, ā€˜ā€™ it’s not Halloween but we’re only seven months away, never too early to celebrate. ā€˜ā€™
You moved back on the bed so you could lie on the pillows. Biting on your lip with a feeling of anxiety that you weren’t quite sure where it came from, you only hummed in response.
ā€˜ā€™ What’s wrong? Do you not want me to use it? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ No, it’s-, ā€˜ā€™ you rolled your eyes at yourself, you were being ridiculous, this was not something that needed to be made a big deal out of. ā€˜ā€™ It’s okay, just hurry back here. ā€˜ā€™
He flashed you a grin again, went over to the bookshelf and adjusted what looked like a book that had fallen out of place and then came over to you. Immediately, his lips found yours again hungrily, like being away from you for a minute or two had left him starved.
With two fingers he separated your legs and then he looked down at you for approval. You nodded, feeling your breathing hitch and grow heavy in anticipation. He placed himself between and slowly eased in, lowering himself so your foreheads were touching just as you both sighed in pleasure.
You thought you saw something or someone flicker in the background, but the next second your eyes were closed and it slipped out of your mind. Ungodly sounds filled the room instead, drowning out every possible thought you could have.
With every movement he made, euphoria filled you. More and more, until it was about to spill over. Your legs wrapped around his slim waist, hands clawing frantically at the sheets. You gasped, ā€˜ā€™ I’m- ā€˜ā€™
He hushed you, ā€˜ā€™ I know baby. ā€˜ā€™
You tried to make eye contact with him, only to be met with uncomfortable, empty eyes staring back at you, framed by the mask. It made him look scary, not sexy. He didn’t seem half as sweet now; the golden retriever persona was long gone.
But you couldn’t hold it back any longer, you arched your back as the euphoria spread from head to toe in your body, letting small whimpers slip past your lips with its release.Ā 
Your eyes rolled back and when you fluttered them open again, he was already off of you, half-way across the room and putting his clothes on.Ā 
You felt your stomach sink. He must’ve just viewed you like a hookup that he’d fuck and then just leave there to sleep through the night alone. You grimaced and rolled over on your side, feeling like an idiot and wishing you had stuck to your planned rejection from before.
Then he surprised you.
ā€˜ā€™ We should do this again. I know I’m gonna miss you when you leave.ā€˜ā€™
The smile in his voice was evident, yet you still felt a bit bitter. In pettiness, you just hummed in response and then went on your phone. He left and closed the door not long after.
It was hard to fall asleep that night, something was off, but you had no idea why. Your mother always used to say that you were paranoid whenever you stayed at people’s houses as a kid, but then again, if you felt an energy when you walked in - that person always turned out to be bad some time afterward.Ā 
You just hoped you were wrong about this one.Ā 
*******
The next morning, you didn’t wake up in the most pleasant way. Right before falling asleep, you’d imagined how the morning would turn out; maybe he’d wake you up with breakfast or gently nudge you while smiling down at you lovingly, or he would just leave you to wake up on your own.
But the reality was far from your fantasies. You woke up because you felt like someone was watching you.Ā 
With your heart hammering in your chest, you were scared to move, so you slowly rolled over to the side against the window, squinting before it felt safe enough to open your eyes fully. You rolled out of bed and turned. Your whole body was tense and you felt like you couldn’t breathe.
But no one was there. You frowned. Had you had a bad nightmare? No, not that you could remember.Ā 
The feeling hadn’t entirely left when you started making your way towards the door. Outside it, you could hear sounds of pans and something frying. Upon opening it, a smell of bacon hit you.
You moved to the kitchen and saw Hyunjin standing at the stove, back turned to you. He wouldn’t have had the time to run from the room to the kitchen without you hearing his steps.
You tilted your head and clicked your tongue. But maybe he was in your room, watching you sleep right before you woke up. The thought sent chills down your spine. Hyunjin turned and smiled, his puppy-like personality back again like nothing happened.Ā 
It was weird. Was he the type of guy who acted completely different in bed versus out of it? You thought back to the mask and how it didn’t fit the image you were looking at right now.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ Hey, you woke up just in time. ā€˜ā€™
You wanted nothing more than to leave and call Liz, even if you felt a bit embarrassed about the whole thing. However, out of politeness, you sat down at the table and returned his smile, shifting awkwardly.
When you saw that he noticed your stiff body language, his smile faded and his eyes almost returned to the way they had looked the night before. Hurriedly you tried to relax.
ā€˜ā€™ This looks amazing, thank you. ā€˜ā€™
That seemed to ease him up a little. He stopped observing your every move and instead turned his attention to his plate. In the absence of surveillance, you managed to push the food around and only take a few bites to make it look like you’d eaten almost half. You weren’t sure if you could stomach too much right now.
ā€˜ā€™ I, um, ā€˜ā€™ you began feeling uncertain on how to express yourself, ā€˜ā€™ I have this thing- my- my parents, they want me to come home early! Otherwise, they will be worried. ā€˜ā€™
That was the best excuse you could come up with. With bated breath, you waited for his reaction. He put his fork down, almost dramatically slow, which made you nervous. You started glancing at the door in case you needed to make a run for it.
ā€˜ā€™ Okay. I understand, ā€˜ā€™ he flatly said at last.
You had to stop yourself from sighing in relief loudly, but you accidentally stood up a little too quickly; the chair scraping against the wooden floor, so you practically gave yourself away anyways.
He watched you as you went. Your hands were shaking and it was hard to focus with the harrowing gaze on you as you tied your shoes.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ Bye, thank you for everything, ā€˜ā€™ you pressed out and almost bolted out of the door.
ā€˜ā€™ I’ll call you, ā€˜ā€™ he shouted.
Your blood froze. Call you? You ran out into the street now that he couldn’t see you and waved down an Uber. You only felt safe once you were inside and the vehicle started moving, so that’s when you took out your phone to look at it.
Sure enough, it was as you had feared. He had somehow gotten into your phone while you were asleep and he’d added his number. Panicking, you started flicking through every single app, note and photo you owned, only to find it exactly as you had left it.
You texted Liz a summary of what had happened and asked if she’d be at school the next day. As you arrived home, your phone pinged with an answer from her, and just when you were about to put it back in your pocket, it pinged again.
Your face twisted in horror and disgust - it was him, ā€˜ baby, I miss you so much already. ā€˜ Baby? You definitely weren’t close enough for that, besides, he’d given you a lot of mixed signals, constantly switching from one mood to another and then leaving you like that after you had sex.
You ignored it and went inside. There was no doubt in your mind that you weren’t going to leave for the rest of the day. You’d just spend it replaying everything he said or did, over and over again, until you could finally see Liz.
*******
ā€˜ā€™ What a fucking creep! ā€˜ā€™ Liz squealed.
She had your phone clutched in her hand, staring at the text from Hyunjin which was the cherry on top at the end of your recollection of the night before. Liz was not having any of it. She said that Hyunjin had given her the creeps ever since he walked into the restaurant with the other guys.
Not much was known about him either. He had transferred just a few months ago and was just starting to get to know his class. When you told her the rest, it definitely didn’t help to make Liz see him in a more positive light.
ā€˜ā€™ Don’t you feel like he’s hiding something? ā€˜ā€™ she asked when you approached the school’s buildings.
People stood in the alleyways of them, smoking and keeping watch for teachers passing by. You hurried your steps a little more when you saw them.
ā€˜ā€™ Maybe…but what? ā€˜ā€™
Liz was about to respond, but you were caught by surprise; a scream torn from your throat when you were yanked into one of the alleyways.Ā 
You expected to see one of the bullies of the school being pissed that you had taken the route that passed by them to the main building. Instead you were face to face with Hyunjin.
ā€˜ā€™ Hyunjin? What are you doing here? ā€˜ā€™ you harshly whispered, turning to see if anyone had spotted you.
Liz looked at you questioningly and you gave her a thumbs up, a nervous laugh bubbling up inside. She stood by the entrance of the alleyway instead, out of ear-shot.
ā€˜ā€™ Sorry. I don’t think Liz told you. When she said that I go to ā€˜ another high school, ā€˜ she meant the one next to yours. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Oh. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ I just wanted to talk to you, ā€˜ā€™ his eyes flickered over to Liz, he had that same look on his face that had unsettled you before, you took a step back.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ Can she leave? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Why would she need to leave? ā€˜ā€™
He leaned his arm on the wall and rested his head against the palm of his hand, lips twitching in barely concealed annoyance.
ā€˜ā€™ Can she? ā€˜ā€™ he repeated, more forcefully this time.
ā€˜ā€™ No, ā€˜ā€™ you spat back, equally as forceful even though you were masking your fear.
The corners of his mouth quirked upward, he had noticed; nothing slipped past him.
ā€˜ā€™ We have to talk about us. So I’d just like some privacy. ā€˜ā€™
Against better judgement, you waved Liz off. He seemed like he wasn’t going to let you off until he’d said whatever he wanted to say. Besides, you weren’t completely alone anyway. If you had to scream, someone would hear you…you hoped.
With his free hand he nudged you toward the wall and switched so it was his right hand leaning against the wall instead as he faced you. The maneuver felt a little controlling or almost territorial; essentially he was caging you in so you couldn’t run away the easiest escape route.
ā€˜ā€™ We should date from now on. ā€˜ā€™
His golden retriever smile that crinkled his eyes returned, but it felt wrong this time, very wrong. You didn’t feel butterflies in your stomach like the first time he’d shown you it, now all you felt was ice.
ā€˜ā€™ I’m sorry. I don’t know you well enough. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ You will get to know me when you start dating me, ā€˜ā€™ he scoffed like he couldn’t believe how stupid you sounded. It reminded you of his reaction to you trying to get home in the rain no matter what.
ā€˜ā€™ I’m not ready to date right now. I wasn’t looking for anything serious. ā€˜ā€™
His eyes narrowed and he looked away from you, turning to the side just as a laugh of disbelief came out.
ā€˜ā€™ Nothing serious, huh? ā€˜ā€™ he murmured to himself and took his hand off of the wall, starting to pace back and forth, occasionally throwing you glares. ā€˜ā€™ So you just go around looking at every guy like that? ā€˜ā€™
You were stunned and also a little offended. ā€˜ā€™ Like what? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Like a fucking slut! ā€˜ā€™ he screamed, turning to face you fully now, he got closer and closer; pointing his finger at you accusingly until he’d reached you and his finger poked your upper chest.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ Don’t deny it. You tried to do the good girl act when really you were feeling sorry for yourself and any guy there would’ve been good enough just to fuck you and make your birthday great again. ā€˜ā€™
Your mouth opened and then closed again. You weren’t sure what you’d say, even if he stopped his manic rambling to give you the chance to get a word in.
ā€˜ā€™ But you chose me! And I chose you, ā€˜ā€™ his finger poked into you again as he pushed you against the wall with it harshly, ā€˜ā€™ Now you’re just trying to run away. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ No, I- ā€˜ā€™ you felt tears threatening to fall and cleared your throat in a pitiful attempt to stop them, ā€˜ā€™ I think you misunderstood. I wasn’t even planning on hooking up with anyone, but I had nowhere to sleep and you seemed really sweet so I changed my mind. ā€˜ā€™
Now he was the quiet one. You had expected it to calm you, but it only made you more anxious. What was he thinking right now? What was he going to do next? Should you not have argued back at all?
You wished you hadn’t turned Liz away now. Silently you pleaded that she’d come back to check on you; that the clock would go faster and the bell would ring so she would have to come get you. Then she could save you.
Maybe there was still time, you could stall this a little longer.
ā€˜ā€™ I- I don’t want to date you, ā€˜ā€™ you quietly finished.
A snicker caught your attention. First your head snapped up in curiosity, then your eyes widened like you were a deer caught in headlights.
He came closer to you again, completely forcing you against the wall. In his hand, he held his phone, which he brought up to your face.
ā€˜ā€™ No, ā€˜ā€™ you breathed out, the first tear falling despite your efforts to stop it.
On his phone was what looked like footage from a hidden camera. It was high up, with a view of the whole room. And in said view, was Hyunjin having sex with you - his face masked up, yours on full display.
ā€˜ā€™ The bookshelf, ā€˜ā€™ you sighed to yourself, realization hitting you.Ā 
He had been setting up the camera when he pretended like he was putting a book back into place. It had seemed unnatural then, but not enough to raise alarms. It also explained the feeling of being watched, and the mask.
He didn’t bother to hide his smirk of satisfaction when you pieced everything together and looked absolutely defeated. ā€˜ā€™ Do you remember at the beginning of the year, we got that system where you can search up anyone at the school’s email? ā€˜ā€™
You already knew where he was going with this. He nodded, as if to respond for you.
ā€˜ā€™ What do you say, should I send this video to everyone at school or will you go out with me? ā€˜ā€™
You swallowed thickly, feeling the hate in your hot tears. He scooped one up on his thumb and brought it to his lips.
ā€˜ā€™ Your choice, ā€˜ā€™ he added condescendingly.
ā€˜ā€™ Fine, ā€˜ā€™ you said, sounding very tired.
ā€˜ā€™ Good, ā€˜ā€™ he smiled triumphantly, giving you a wink.
There was no way out of this for now. You’d have to go along with his games.Ā 
ā€˜ā€™ I just have to tell Liz. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ Oh, ā€˜ā€™ he snapped his fingers. ā€˜ā€™ She won’t be a problem anymore. ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ What? What do you mean? ā€˜ā€™
ā€˜ā€™ A few of my friends from my old school are here, just visiting. There are a couple more alleyways except for this one. In particular, one of them is very dark and secluded. It was good that your little friend decided to walk past that one. You know, it’s quite perfect when you want to get rid of things that scream - no one will hear them. ā€˜ā€™

Hi. How are you? Can you please write a fic, Zoro x Fem Reader, where Zoro loves reader but doesn’t know/get that he’s in love. He’d do anything for her but he wonders if it’s love or what? Thank you so much. You’re amazing šŸ’•
Hello! I'm hanging in there and hope you're doing well, too. Thank you for sending in a request. I hope you like it, lovely šŸ’œšŸ’œ
You were his friend, nothing more. He gave you a helping hand every now and then just like he did with the others. Giving you advice for combat was something he would give any of his friends. So what was it about you that got his heart racing and his palm sweaty? Brushing it off wasn’t doing any good, further piquing his curiosity.
CW: SFW, fem!reader, fluff, slow burn, mention of combat training, confession
The kind of love that sneaks up on you (Zoro)
In a world where only the strongest seemed to thrive, you were left no choice but to learn how to properly defend yourself. You were finding yourself in sticky situations more and more often, and despite Zoro always being there to save you, deep down the fear that one day he wouldn’t be able to grew. Guilt festered as you felt more like a burden. Even though no one made you feel like you were, you were clearly weaker than the rest. However, that was something you were determined to change.
One-on-one sessions with Zoro were spent working on your reflexes and general combat skills. It wasn’t necessary for you to become the strongest; merely keeping your head afloat and learning to use your enemies' advantages against them were skills you had set out to exercise.
ā€œYou gotta keep your eyes on me. Don’t look away.ā€ The next swing he delivered was swift yet controlled, testing how good your intuition was.
Each move from him was countered with more confidence than the last. You nodded at his advice, keeping your head held high and not allowing yourself to stay cowering in the shadows anymore.
Zoro’s expression was stern, serious, and each push he gave you was carried out from a place of care, for letting you off ā€œeasyā€ would be an insult to your abilities. He believed in you, and your progress never went unnoticed.
Panting from exertion, you had reached your limit. The subtle shift in his demeanor was followed by him retracting his next move. He sighed, ā€œLet’s stop here for today.ā€
ā€œWhat? Why? I can keep going!ā€
ā€œIt’s not weak to know your limits.ā€ Wisdom was a quality of his that was often overlooked. Swallowing the tough pill, you knew arguing would be useless.
Watching your inner conflict was something that felt all too familiar. There was a tightness keeping his heart from beating freely as you stood there looking defeated. His mouth went dry and his gulps felt like wet cement caught in his throat.Ā 
There’s no point in sulking was what he wanted to say, but he hesitated. It was true, so why couldn’t he form the words? They’d hurt you, perhaps deep down he knew that. However, you were sensible enough not to take it personally… weren’t you? The thought of bringing you to tears kept him locked in place. This uncertainty of how to approach you would settle on his chest every now and then, unexplainable and popping up at the oddest times.
ā€œYou should get cleaned up.ā€ When your eyes met his once more, his breaths grew uneven. ā€œYou look a bit sweaty and would probably be more comfortable if you changed.ā€ The subtle touch to your hair as you averted your gaze caused his cheeks to burn red.Ā 
Should I have mentioned she looks sweaty? He mulled over the awkwardness now dispersing through the air when you left the room. The room felt hot all of the sudden. His brow furrowed and he crossed his arms in irritation. Images of you were there in his mind’s eye: your eagerness to improve, the devotion and passion that were evident when you fought, and that refusal to be forced into a box just because you were a woman.Ā 
Such traits were admirable and honorable, parts of you which sent his heart racing in an uncontrollable state that not even meditation could calm sometimes. When you weren’t with him, he went looking for you, and when you were, he didn’t want you to leave.Ā 
Did you feel the same? He wondered. Such a question made him antsy with anticipation. Uncertainty never deterred him from pushing forward in the past, but you were different. The reason why wasn’t clear, you just were.
A long slightly agitated sigh left him. Irritation not tied to you specifically but to the emotional state he found himself in. Pulling, tugging, grasping: he could feel the discomfort clawing away at him. His fingers dug into his biceps while he fought off the meddlesome thoughts to confront you in vain. Shaking slightly, he couldn’t take it.Ā 
Without a plan, his feet carried him to you, which left him at loss for words when you turned towards him. The face that kept him in a chokehold was washed with concern given he appeared to be hyperventilating.
ā€œAre you alright?ā€ Gentle, caring, selfless: you had no idea how much your tone affected him.
ā€œYeah, I just came here to sayā€¦ā€ A fear he never thought would trouble his life reared its ugly head time and time again. ā€œThat I hope our last training session wasn’t too much for you.ā€
ā€œIs that really all you wanted to tell me?ā€
The pounding in his chest was nearly agonizing, but what was he to do? Ignoring the way he felt about you was only making this pain worse, taking the plunge into the unknown seemed like the only option to lift this weight off his shoulders.
ā€œNo, but I’m not sure how to articulate this exactly.ā€ He gestured to the state of him—riddled with nerves that were beyond his understanding. There was no explanation needed, though.
ā€œI know how you feel.ā€ Your smile gave away your own struggle with trying to comprehend how he affected you. ā€œIt’s kind of scary,ā€ you added with a chuckle.
ā€œIt’s… yeah, scary,ā€ he breathed. A flush of red spread across his face when you stepped closer. Your eyes held such a depth of emotion towards him. His heart began racing again, but this time was different. Instead of uncertainty, elation pounded against his chest. When you wrapped your arms around him, the hesitation from him wasn’t out of figuring out what he should do, but instead disbelief.
Fear had never left him shaken before. Knowing that you not only understood but also returned his feelings made that unease deep within fade, and the longer you held onto each other, the more he distanced himself from it.

bestie i'm new to the world of fics and it would be great if you could recommend me some good iconic stories to read 🄰pleasee ā¤ļø
OHHH WELCOME BABY! šŸ’žšŸ’ž
Hope you'll find the great comfort they offer to all of us too!
I'm thrilled to do this so I'm gonna start immedietaly! Don't know what's your taste is so I'm gonna recommend many different stories I have loved! 😊
A Toast To The Future by @narryffdreaming is one of my favorite stories ever and I truly believe it's one of the most beautifully written stories I've ever read. šŸ™ The way Dani approaches the past experiences of the characters and their emotions is impressive. I am always fascinated by stories that are authentic and the way that story is written makes you feel seen even if your experiences are not exactly the same as the characters. šŸ’ž (can't wait to read the next part)
Maisy and Harry are just friends (except they aren't) by @narryffdreaming again because I just love her work! Friends to lovers trope (i loooove this trope sm) and it has everything: angst, fluff, romance, softness, smut, everything! Everything just flows so nicely!
When Y/N dates someone, they find their soulmate…it’s never her by @jawllines is super cute and lovely and made me giggle and blushing! It's such an unique concept and I just loved it!
Harry and Y/N are in the same ballet class, and they hate each other by @jawllines again and what can I say? Pure enemies to lovers story that has you in a chokehold. Everything about it is perfect! šŸ˜
Daddy Issues by the amazing @fkinavocado is jaw dropping, I mean it! It's one of the first long stories I read in here so it's special to me. šŸ™ Dreea delivered the great combination of spicy and softness with this story.
Sex Tutor by @gurugirl ! I really liked the way she wrote about this topic and it felt like she did it with so much respect (as she always does) and I just really had a great time reading it.
404 by my pookie @freedomfireflies šŸ’—is one of my favorite stories ever and I feel like I have to tattoo this to my skin at this point. šŸ˜‚ It's enemies to lovers and you can feel the tension from a mile. Also 404rry is the most annoyingly adorable characher ever and I just adore him. šŸ¤—šŸ’—
Teach Me by miss @freedomfireflies again and let's just say that this series is on FIRE. A friends to lovers story that makes you feel things. One thing I love about this story is that the two characters share a deep love and respect for each other and I feel like it's such an important point.
Grumpy H and
You're my Last Shot by @cupid-styles are so cute and I had a great reading them! The flow is amazing in both of them and they are so well written.
Old Grudges ,
Just How Fast the Night Changes ,
The Sun Will Rise and
Valerie by @watchmegetobsessed are litterally amazing! Loved these stories so much! I come back to them from now and then and I have the same feeling every time I read them. 🄰
Harry’s a dick, and Y/N hates him for it. by @harrys-titties is so HSHJSHSSJ I just loved it! So beautifully written and it has everything: tension, angst, smut, romance!
Hawthorn by @adorebeaa is so beautiful! I enjoyed it so much! It is not finished yet but it is worth it! Again it's an enemies to lovers story and it really plays like a movie in your head! šŸ’•
I got carried away a little bit hehe and I'm sure that if I continue I won't be able to stop lol. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did! šŸ’•
P.S Τhere are many other great authors that I didn't include in this post because I might just forgot them at the moment (sometimes when you need to remember something specific you just can't, your mind is just stuck ugh) or because I might not have come across their work yet so I don't want anyone to feel bad. Your work is always appreciated. šŸ’—
Byeee xoxo

I was wondering if you could write headcanons for the Bone Boys as dads. ( you can pick one or multiple) (ie. Seeley, Jack, Lance, Zack, or any of the squinterns) I loved your hodgins fic sm <3 take your time!!! Thank you!!!
Oh, I love you for asking this šŸ’•Any opportunity to write for my Jeffersonian family. And my squinterns? You didn't have to ask twice. If anyone want a part 2 let me know. I didn’t include a bunch of squints or my boy Aubrey
Tumblr media
Seeley - over protective, caring, goofy, stern, willing to do whatever he needs to to make his kid happy. I mean, just look at Parker - that kid turned out so well adjusted and happy. Booth just loves him to pieces - and Christine? Apple of his eye. Any kid this man has will want for nothing and know nothing but pure unrelenting love. Sunday afternoons of throwing a baseball around - I don't care what gender, any child of Booth will know how to throw a curve ball. And the hockey games? Oh, the kid(s) will be wearing Flyers jerseys before they can walk.
Tumblr media
Lance - we were robbed. Robbed of seeing this beautiful man raising a child. Sweets would be such a good dad too. Caring, affectionate, understanding, patient, hilarious, and with one disappointed look have his kids in line apologizing.
Oh, I could just imagine the first few weeks of sleepless nights. Lance, being so excited, but also so terrified of messing up. He knows what its like to have shitty people looking after you, and he'd never want to be that way. But he also knows what it's like to have two loving (amazing) people take care of him and love him with unconditional love.
This of course, would cause him to take the brunt of the middle of the night feedings/check-ins. Lance, sitting in a rocking chair, softly singing Coconut by Harry Nilsson. It's no surprise when the kid knows all the words before they know the alphabet fully.
Just, ugh, nothing but love and laughter.
Tumblr media
Any child of Jack's will be showered with affection, over the top gifts (what do you mean a thousand dollar playhouse is too much? It has a fully functional kitchen and a mini lab!), and a love and appreciation for all the beautiful things around them (bugs and all).
"Whose my little prince/princess of the lab?"
Jack would realize his mistake during the preteen phase. "Honestly, I don't know where the sarcasm is coming from. They're too quick for their own good." This of course, would be met with eye rolls, and really? No DNA test needed here. King of the Lab? More like King of Sass.
Jack would love to take the kid(s) to the lab. "This is a Carabidae, they belong to the Adephaga." He'd love to see their little faces light up with wonder. He'd never feel more elated then hearing the little giggles when he puts the beetle into his kids tiny waiting hand.
Tumblr media
Wendell would be the sweetest most down to Earth dad. No child of Wendell's would ever know what it means to struggle - not if he had anything to say about it. That doesn't mean his kids wouldn't know the meaning of hard work - that's the one thing Wendell prides himself in. Working hard and knowing you deserved to be there.
Considering his own mother induced labor on a roller coaster, I'm sure Wendell would be there for unconventional methods. His kids would also know how to defend themselves - verbal and physically (No one would ever talk down to his kids and get away with it. And boxers fracture? His kids would know how to throw a punch and mean it - "only if they deserve it, you can't just go around just starting fights with anybody."
His favorite memory would be the first time he took his kid(s) onto the rink. Seeing them persevere and keep going until they got the hang of it - "That's right, you got it!"
Wendell would raise his kids to be prepared for absolutely anything. Car broke down? They would know how to fix the engine. Someone broke their heart? Cry, feel it all, then take a deep breath and keep going. Because no matter what - he'll always be there to back them up.
Tumblr media
Vincent would be a dotting dad. A little over the top, but that's why his kids would love him. Any child of Vincent's would know more random facts than any other five year old. The calls from the kindergarten teacher would always be...interesting. "Yes, yes, I can see why talking about the amount of insect legs found in chocolate would be upsetting to the other children."
That of course would not and could not stop him from prattling out more facts every night. Facts were his love language - his bonding time. Every night, without fail, he'd tuck his little one into bed, rambling about any random thought that popped into his head until his child fell asleep.
Tumblr media
Colin, sweet morbid hopeless Colin. Would have no idea what to do with a child until one evening when he hasn't sleep for four days straight - he can barely see, his mind and body more fuzzy than normal.
He's looking hopelessly at his baby in his arms, "What? what do you need from me?" His voice growing more weary and desperate. Until he see's it, a smile - then a small gurgle that could be mistaken for laughter. "Oh, you like that, huh, my misery?" He's welcomed by another gurgle and big beautiful eyes blinking slowly back at him. He feels it then - the warmth- the happiness creeping up in his bones. He's got a shot now - at something he never thought about before.
Oh, his kid wants to paint his nails? Sure, he's always got the time, and maybe some tips, a little sloppy on the corner there. It's okay- you're only six we'll get you there, kid.
Colin would be the type of dad to always complain about being dragged to something, but he would secretly love it. Sappy teen movie playing in the background? No, he's not interested. He's just going to stand here for 30 minutes eyes glued to the screen. No, he doesn't want to sit down. Wait- rewind - what are they arguing about? He missed it.
Colin would have a little mini me - both the complete opposite of him and so similar it was scary. His little partner in crime.
Tumblr media
Zack would like to think he knows exactly what he's doing but he has no idea. He buys every parenting book known to man. Spends hours of research looking up different child development theories.
No, the baby did not in fact laugh. It's only been a month, a baby can't laugh until at least 5 months. He states that firmly until the next few days when Zack swears up and down he made the baby laugh doing an impression of Hodgins. I know I said that, but perhaps the baby just has my intelligence and early development.
Zack will be there front row and center for every recital, game, or event. Doesn't matter if he has no idea what the rules are or what is going on. He'll be there cheering from the side lines.
His favorite afternoon snack to make? Macaroni and cheese.
Zack is just happy to have made his family a little bit bigger. He never thought he'd be proud of anything outside of the Jeffersonian, but he was happily proven wrong everyday.

✰ pairing: Charles Leclerc x fem!reader

✰ summary: It was no secret that ferrari was a whole shit show this season thos however did not stop charles from giving his all to the team that didn't even care about him.
✰ word count:0,5k
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You sit in Charles' driver's room waiting for him to come back from yet another bad qualifying.
"Hey baby.." you say softly as he walks in he immediately comes over to you hugging you and nuzzling his head in the crook of your neck.
"I just don't know what I'm doing wrong... I've been practicing nonstop staying focused going over strategies what else do I need to do" he says desperately.
You can't help but feel awful as he lays and rants in your arms. you rub his back comfortingly "Shh baby it's alright none of this is your fault..you've been amazing you have given them your all there is not much else you could do. You are doing your best and that's enough even more than that ough and I'm sure all of this will pay off in the future. you're amazing love don't you ever forget it" You kiss his forehead.
he looks up "Thank you y/n I don't know what I would do without you..." he smiles a small but genuine smile "I'll give it my best tomorrow I’ll try to win...for you" he pecks your lips and lays back down the exhaustion from qualifying finally getting to him as he drifts off...
Sunday comes and you can't say that you aren't excited for what today will bring after your little talk with Charles he seemed happier..more sure of himself and it gave you hope...hope that after all of this, he'd still be ok...
The race starts and turns one is as chaotic as always but Charles manages to snag P1 you know that it's too early to celebrate but you can't seem to shake off the excitement that's bubbling in your stomach...
Lap 7 passes he's still in the lead then lap 20 and then the final lap there is a fierce battle going on between Charles and Max right now and you can't help but feel anxious as they get closer and closer to the finish line...you see max over take Charles in the 2nd to last corner and as you begin to lose hope Charles sneaks back and snags P1 for himself.
The whole Ferrari garage is going wild as well as you, with tears in your eyes you run to Parc fermƩ getting right in front of the brackets. You excitedly wait for Charles to get here. And as his car parks right at that P1 spot and he gets out of the car you both lock eyes it's like no one existed around you too. He runs straight to you taking off his helmet hugging you tightly and then giving you a kiss that you will never forget... After that day it was safe to say that you knew that he'd be alright..

Happy 10th Anniversary Thunderbirds Are Go! To celebrate, I've put together a list of my favourite fics from the past decade to spread love to all the amazing authors who have been a part of this wonderful fandom throughout the years. I've also included a section of recs that other members of the fandom have given me too! Thank you for everyone who contributed!!
NOTE: This list got ginormous (over 200 fics!) and I reached tumblr's text limit. Please reblog the second and third parts with all the fics included and not just the first part!
Feel free to peruse the list and maybe you'll find something you enjoy! I tried my best to include the author's tumblrs, but if I missed anyone please let me know! Please also let me know if any links are broken. The fics are separated into different categories to provide some semblence of organisation. Enjoy! šŸ’•šŸ’•

Gordon learnt something new.
Let's celebrate by avengedbiologist
For thunderpride day 24- Let's celebrate!
Dangerous Games by @eirabach
In which Penelope plots, and lives to regret it. Possibly.
But then again, possibly not.
[Or, Pen and Ink vs The Cham-Cham.]
Pressure by @rosellestorm
Gordon's body feels different sometimes and he can't find comfort alone. Luckily his brothers have a way to help him.
A Beautiful Song by @scribbles97
Family is like music, some high notes, some low notes, but always a beautiful song. - Unknown.
Just as things are beginning to settle for the Tracy family, thing take an unexpected turn and life on the island will never be quite the same again.
Tornado by silverstarfics
Hiding in a bathtub from a tornado with your brother isn’t the best of Saturday night plans, but here they are.
✨WHUMP, ANGST, HURT/COMFORT✨
A Fun Winters Walk by @fullmetalninjabunny
The shadows on the bridge were gone now and a new thought struck him harder than the fall had. Those shadows had been his brothers and now they had disappeared like smoke. There were only two places they could have gone; to go get help or onto the ice to help Gordon themselves.
A crack echoed and Gordon knew what they had decided. Either Scott or Alan or Ocean forbid both of them were going to step onto the frozen lake to help him and they were going to fall through the ice and they were going to die all because Gordon had been stupid enough to have climbed up on top of the bridge.
"No..." Gordon moaned, praying it would be loud enough. "Stay back..."
Ask Me Anything (except for that) by fullmetalninjabunny
ā€œWhat was it like to survive the worst hydrofoil crash in the world?ā€
Gordon blinked.
The audience fell silent and Gordon could feel their eyes boring into him as they hung off the very edges of their seats, apparently having all been waiting their entire lives to hear this.
"I," He swallowed. "I don't know what you're talking about."
When an innocent interview about ocean conservation suddenly becomes about how Gordon should be dead right now, complete with graphic photos of the hydrofoil crash, he is forced to face not only his fractured memories of that day but also decide how he is going to continue with his life.
Choose One or Lose Both by fullmetalninjabunny
Gordon was right; Virgil had to make a decision. Either he got Gordon out of the rubble, making the entire weight of the building crush Alan, or he rescued Alan and damned Gordon to that same devastating fate. Virgil couldn’t consider it a miracle that his brothers had managed to survive the initial collapse, not knowing that he was going to have to choose which one of them to save and which to sacrifice.
Doll, Girl, Bird by fullmetalninjabunny
Most worrying of all was the line of blood that ran down Gordon’s face. He had hit his head, on what Alan did not want to know. Gordon’s helmet had been taken off for some reason but it had no blood on it which meant it had already been off when the building collapsed. It might explain why Gordon was conscious but not really, still mumbling about dolls and girls and birds but Gordon should have known better than to remove his helmet during such a risky rescue operation.
There must have been a reason for him to do that.
One Word by fullmetalninjabunny
If Gordon Tracey was asked to describe his current situation in a single word, that word would be ā€˜uncomfortable’.
Now of course being trapped in a volcanic cave with only his radio as a source of light while covered not only in his own sweat but his blood also, the word didn’t quite do what he was experiencing justice. In fact, there were many other words that would describe it better.
Claustrophobic.
Terrified.
In agony, perhaps.
Stick In The Mud by fullmetalninjabunny
Static.
Alan forced himself to be patient, watching the rise and fall of his brothers chest. Still breathing. There should have been a response by now. Maybe no one was listening to the radio. But over fifty personnel including his other brothers should be on the frequency, surely someone at Base should hear him. Surely someone would care that there was an emergency, surely someone would care that Gordon was unconscious.
Gordon was breathing. He was still breathing but at any moment he could stop and then he’ll die and it will all be Alan’s fault so why the hell was no one responding?
The Golden Hour by fullmetalninjabunny
The Thunderbirds did not have lights and sirens, at least not like the average ambulance or police car did. But they still followed the Golden Hour rule. If the Golden Hour passes, the rescue becomes a recovery. Do not take unnecessary risk. Do not allow others to risk their lives, even as the family screams at you to help their loved one, especially as the family beats at your chest, begging you to not give up.
You are not giving up. You are being practical. The Golden Hour has passed. The likelihood of survival only diminishes from here. No lights. No sirens. Only respect.
There's Fire In My Veins by fullmetalninjabunny
Trying to ground himself, Gordon dug his nails in harder but he could still feel the medicine course through his veins. While the Doctors claimed that it was medicine, Gordon knew that it was instead poison that was tearing him apart from the inside. Gordon clawed at the needle that he could feel piercing his skin but it simply would not budge even as he drew blood.
Gordon could feel everything.
There was fire running through his veins, there was metal digging into his body, his bones, his very soul. Every whisper was a shout and every shout a faint memory that had lost all meaning. The lights were too bright and too dim all at once and whenever he closed his eyes he could still see his own blood mixing with the water, he could still see where his body ended and the hydrofoil begin.
He knew they were only memories and that this time it was Alan that was hurt and not him and yet Gordon could still feel everything.
What Not To Do When Bored At a Gala by fullmetalninjabunny
For someone being mocked so thoroughly, Gordon wasn’t rising to the bait. He hadn’t so much as said a word since the youngest Tracy’s had returned from the Gala and now that Virgil was watching him, he noticed that Gordon wasn’t looking at anything in particular. It was like he was staring through Virgil, with every blink becoming more sluggish. Even more concerning was how Gordon’s arm were hanging limply by his sides.
Gordon was never this still, never this quiet. Something was wrong.
A Simple Reminder by @allandmoree
It's been a tough month for International Rescue and tensions are beginning to wear thin among the boys. With Jeff missing, everything just seems to be going wrong. Gordon takes a step to try and bring the team back together, but could it just end in more disaster for the family?
Every time it snows by allandmoree
A simple mountain rescue goes wrong for International Rescue. Gordon battles the elements and his memories, and Scott has a tough decision to make.
Ripples by allandmoree
A one-shot In which Scott is a storm and Gordon holds his breath.
In All My Dreams I Drown by @angelofbenignmalevolence
There are those that say that drowning is peaceful…Gordon Tracy respectfully disagrees. Gordon Tracy knows that drowning can be the most painful experience without ever being dealt a physical injury…
Shiver Me Timbers by @drdone
"a fic where gordon falls through icy water and gets hypothermia and e v e r y brother needs to cuddle him for warmth. All of them. even John."
An Aquanaut Walks Into a Bar... by corbyinoz
Gordon has a conversation in a bar, and Virgil has strong opinions about that. Childhood memories, and the stories we tell ourselves and others.
Yellow Sky by corbyinoz
Scott has always struggled to control his anger. He learned long ago how important it is that he finds a way to do it. A much younger Gordon was the reason he learned that lesson, but it's not Gordon's fault he's close to losing it now, in the middle of a dangerous rescue...
A Tangled Web by crystalquirt
Something has caused heat and trace amounts of radiation in the deep sea. Thinking it volcanic, Gordon takes Thunderbird Four to be sure after John detected an unusual amount of dead sea life in the area. The water around the phenomenon has turned brownish yellow, all the way up to the surface. One species still thrive there.
Backlash by eirabach
Gordon + Used as Bait for Bad Things Happen Bingo on tumblr.
My Brother's Pain by FABThunderbird
Virgil and Gordon are both exhausted after a dangerous rescue. On their way home Virgil notices that Gordon is not only dealing with an injury, but he sees his brother struggling to open up about what he had witnessed during this rescue.
Explorer by @fallenfurther
A family holiday on the English coast and Gordon decides he wants to go rock pooling alone. Intent on finding something cool to show his brothers, he ends up getting a little hurt in the process.
Where the mermaids live by fallenfurther
Gordon decides to cheat on an important test but is caught by the school bullies. They are happy to let him keep the grade as long as he does something for them. Gordon knows he's getting in deeper than he should, but the consequences go far beyond what he expected.
Conformity by @figure-in-black
It was nothing...just a small boy grasping onto his understanding of language. He would soon grow out of it...
Stars in the Sea by Fyoex
The Tracy family thought the hydrofoil accident had been left far behind them. But head trauma is a fickle beast that isn’t quite ready to let go.
No Accidents by Glazier Blue
Gordon thought the Hydrofoil crash was behind him. But there was a lot more to his "accident" than his family realised. It looks like the past with WASP has come back to finish what it started. Now Gordon's life hangs in the balance. Can his family stop history from repeating it self?
100 Degrees in Zero G by godsliltippy
John discovers how far his brother will go to save a life.
Birthday Wishes by godsliltippy
Gordon takes Grandma out for her birthday to keep her occupied while the others get the island ready. Too bad Tracy Birthdays have to be difficult.
Catch Me by godsliltippy
Penelope wakes up to pain and darkness, unsure of what happened. Eventually, the memories return as she realises who is with her.
Cheerleader by godsliltippy
Sometimes the things we learn in highschool follow us into adulthood. For Virgil, there's value in what he learned even if it was only one year.
Confined Space by godsliltippy
Gordon and Virgil are sent to rescue a group from a structure collapse. Luck doesn't seem to be on their side as a new hazard presents itself mid-rescue.
Dinosaur Dilemma by godsliltippy
Never in a million years would International Rescue have thought they would be rescuing victims from dinosaurs. Alan's excited, Virgil is... well, Virgil, John's out of his element, and Gordon is terrified.
What could go wrong?
Disguise by godsliltippy
Alternate Scene - Jeff knows something's wrong, but what is he supposed to do about it in his current condition?
Distraction by godsliltippy
Jeff is given the choice to save his family and forfeit the world.
Distraction by godsliltippy *different fic to the one above ^.^*
Gordon needs some time away from his family while he's recovering from the crash and Penelope is more than happy to offer her home and a party to lift his spirits.
Friendly Fire by godsliltippy
Virgil and Gordon are on site of a routine rescue. It should have been simple. No one was supposed to get hurt.
Kisses by godsliltippy
After a successful rescue and brushing off some unnecessary gifts of appreciation, Gordon, Virgil, and Scott head home, only to realize they had brought back a new kind of trouble.
Look Before You Leap by godsliltippy

MMADay by godsliltippy
Gordon and Kayo are pulled into an undercover operation that could save the lives of the people they meet, along with those already lost.
Motionless by godsliltippy
One can never expect a rescue mission to go smoothly when Langstrom Fischler is involved. Gordon knows this and yet, that information does him no good when lives are at stake and it's his job to get everyone out safely.
No Air In Space by godsliltippy
John's gone beyond his abilities, suffering long hours with little food and sleep, if any. With International Rescue struggling to function without him, one of his brothers has to pull him back from the edge.

Gone But Not Forgotten by tracybirds
Gordon's lost a beloved pet and going through the initial grieving process.
Hit by a Truck, Huh? by @phading
The midday sky was blinding blue, there wasn’t so much as a single, stray cloud to focus on. His eyes wandered, searching for something, until Virgil’s face finally loomed above him, dark within a halo of light.
Halfway down a bottomless pit, Gordon dragged a grin up from the abyss. ā€œNot funny!ā€
The brightness expanded, blowing out the edges of his vision, until his big brother vanished into white and there was nothing.
It's Got Me by phading
The hands clutched around Virgil’s wrists were trembling now. ā€œIt’s got … it’s got me.ā€
ā€œWhat’s got you?ā€
No answer, just a small spasm of fingers and facial muscles.
A Walk in the Light by @quasar-concept
After an incident that left him the only survivor, Scott is still learning how to recover.
You're so Strong, Our Little Fish by rosellestorm
ā€œScott, your heartbeat just picked up. What’s wrong?ā€ John asked, tone neutral but Scott knew him well enough to pick up the worry in his voice.
ā€œJohn, I’ll call you back.ā€ Scott said softly as the cold metal pressed between his shoulder blades.
ā€œPut your hands up,ā€ a voice said lowly and Scott’s heart leapt. He would recognise that voice anywhere!
Malfunction by @weathergirl8
Gordon is enjoying some time in the ocean when Thunderbird 4 decides to play some tricks, giving our loveable prankster decompression sickness.
The Break Room by SpaceKat38
Like Virgil once pointed out, there are certain hazards to being on the world's most elite rescue squad. The world doesn't stop just because it's your birthday and, apparently, that infamous Tracy luck just won't let up either. Poor Gordon's having a really bad day.
Where Do All the Lost Souls Go? by SpaceKat38
John wrestles with the knowledge that all astronauts know but can never share.
Silver Lining by Stormyskies89
On request. "Be strong Gordy, because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever." After hurting his back on a rescue, Gordon has a hard time getting the care he needs and wants from his brother. It take some harsh words to straighten Scott, Virgil and Alan out and to apologise to their Silver Lining. Mentions of self-mutilation.
Don't Believe Everything You See by @strongerwiththepack

Risky Rockpools by @strongerwiththepack
The Tracy family get a reality check when they remember that living on an isolated island in the middle of the South Pacific ocean isn't actually all that safe.
Into the Depths by @tenjounotora
Gordon was involved in a horrible accident, he shouldn't have survived. He did, he healed, and now it is time for International Rescue to start operations, but Gordon still has some demons he's trying to fight and he's not sure if he'll win.
Picnic by ThatGirlSix
Every Tracy has a type of job they hate, be them car crashes, hotel fires, mine collapses, whatever. Gordon absolutely hates tornadoes with a passion. No, really, he hates tornadoes. His life would be so much better if they never did another tornado job ever again. The rest of the family is starting to think so, too.
Something to Challenge your thoughts on the HOOD by @gentlebluelizard
The Hood and Gordon find themselves prisoners of the Mechanic but only one of them has anyone who cares enough to move heaven and earth to help them.
Who was this Bob guy again? by gentlebluelizard

Maple's MacGyver Fic Recs
Now I know I'm very late to the party, but I'd like to think of it as fashionably *cough*5 years*cough* late :) This has been a work in progress for awhile, but the Cairo Day Q&A about favorite fanworks inspired me to finally post this- Hope you're all excited for a list of fics everybody and their dog has already read and loved LOL
If you enjoy angsty stories featuring whump and hurt/comfort as much as I do, you're probably gonna love these too. (As a reminder, always double-check the tags before reading! Take care of yourselvesšŸ’•)

Palmful of Sunlight and Promise by OrionLady
Mac knows he won’t make it out of this latest abduction alive. Not with experimental chemicals being pumped into him in horrific doses. The hallucination wearing Jack’s face—who claims he never died—has other ideas about that. (Touch separated by inches is the greatest torture of all.)
Starting this list off right with what quickly became one of my favorite fics of all time- across every fandom I've ever been a part of. The perfect balance of angst and comfort, this is a beautiful story with a lot of care and heart that brings Jack Dalton back, and for Mac, just in the nick of time. I think I've reread this one more times than I could count- it really is that good. If you decide to read it though, I'd definitely recommend having some tissues handy.

Hello To The Night by gaelicspirit
Around S4 episodes 9 and 10. Turns out emotional trauma + concussions + experimental drugs don’t mix quite as easily as one might think. Mac’s dark side does more than toss him a creepy grin from the other side of a window when getting ā€œlost in his headā€ is taken up a notch. And the only thing that is going to save him is the team coming together as a family-the whole team.
It was quite hard to pick only a single fic to recommend from this brilliant author (their whole Ambassador series comes to mind, which is definitely worth a read) but this one has everything I wished would have happened after 4x10. If you're looking for heartbreaking moments of Mac nearing the end of his rope, the team realizing how they failed Mac during s4, and a surprise fix-it to tie it all together, this one's for you.
Mac + Desert + Jack by @impossiblepluto
Turns out, escaping from the fallout shelter was just the beginning. Now they have to survive the aftermath, dehydration and the desert. Continuation from where episode 3x11 Mac + Fallout + Jack left off
Now I know we all already know how amazing ImpossiblePluto is, and I can't help but give this one in particular a spotlight. This is a fantastic follow-up to an episode I'm sure we all can agree ended way too quickly, and without much resolution. If that bothered you as much as it did me, this is genuinely a gift from the heavens; Mac has to grapple with the fact he shot his best friend, and after surviving the whole ordeal, the combination of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and scorching desert heat makes those demons all too real. Time is running out for the both of them, but Jack is right there by Mac's side, even if his partner no longer knows it.
The Art of Showing Up (And Staying) by @lupinescribbler
ā€œHey! This is Jack the Dalton speaking. Probably couldn’t catch your call due to doing cool… bathroom tile salesman… stuff. Leave a message and I’ll hit you back up. Ciao!ā€ ā€œI don’t know where I am right now.ā€ Mac mumbled. He was aware he was slurring, slightly. He felt like he weighed a million pounds, or maybe like he’d been welded in place into his car. Immovable. Lethargic. His skin felt damp, he didn’t know if he was sweating or bleeding. He felt too cold to be sweating. ā€œBut I need help. Can youā€¦ā€ Mac closed his eyes. Can you what? Find me? Not leave me? Just talk to me? The voicemail beeped, marking an end to the message. Mac redialed.
I've already recommended Reichenbach on here (and I still definitely do) but if you're not a fan of AUs, this one is well worth the read. Delicious whump, snapshots of Mac and Jack's time downrange, and insightful commentary on how their relationship has evolved over time, this one is very sweet! (and also features amazing art from both LupineScribbler and Lilituism! Ooooh you wanna check it out so bad. I know you do. And while you're at it, Lupine's got a bunch of other wonderful fics for you to read, too.)
[add'l warnings: car accidents]
Veisalgia by @lilituism
The Phoenix Foundation was invited to a charity gala and Matty sent Mac and Jack to attend. No one had invited Murdoc, but he showed up anyway.
I was originally going to recommend The Darkest Hour (and still do, if you're down for something a bit darker) but if you're not in the mood for something that heavy, then this one is a real treat. Featuring Murdoc and our boys at a gala, things take a turn for the worse when Mac is slipped a fast-acting poison. If reading about Mac being in pain gives you butterflies, you'll love this one (as well as all their other fics!)
Broken Trust by @bloodfromthethorn
Even now, hours later, he couldn’t shake the memory of Jack’s shoulder driving into his sternum, a too-tight grip on his bicep forcing him sideways as the man he trusted more than anyone else in the world physically moved through him rather than listen to what he had to say. Tag to 2x02. Mac didn't walk away from his encounter with Jack as unscathed as he might wish to appear.
Another quite difficult one to pick, as every MacGyver fic from BloodFromTheThorn is excellent (go check out Part of the Job if you're in the mood for some whump with intriguing plotlines & scenarios) but Broken Trust is definitely one I go back to read often- I feel that this one is the aftermath of 2x02 that was so sorely needed. We all know Mac gets lost in his head, but what happens when his partner is the one causing his heartache? (This is also one I have personally needed tissues for on certain nights, just fyi)
Some Truths Are Hard To Define by @altschmerzes
There are a number of conflicting theories, among various and sundry members of the Dalton family tree, on how exactly the young blonde man they have concluded has to be Jack’s kid came to be. Seeing as he can’t have just sprung forth unto the earth fully formed, there has to be an explanation, and since nobody met him until he was out of high school, the explanation has to be something good. (or, the one where jack finds out after five years of bringing mac to family reunions that his family thinks he has a son)
Incredibly heartwarming story about Mac being "mistaken" for Jack's son. Spot-on characterization, and adorable moments of Mac being the greatest cousin ever to the kiddos, nieces, and nephews of the Dalton family. Also, I think I'm just going to add a caveat to each of these that every story by these authors is worth checking out (you won't regret it, especially with Gav's fics, here!)
Gaslighting + Blame Game + Optical Illusions by @m0ns00n53
Tammy doesn’t understand why such a quiet, intelligent man keeps getting stood up on his Friday lunch dates. She’s understandably a little terse when his neglectful son finally shows up one day, after weeks of disappointment. Luckily, Jack is there to clear things up.
This was another hard one to pick (Sergeant + Specialist is a must-read in my book, but due to it's subject matter being on the heavier side, here's something a little different) I'm such a sucker for Jack being there for his boy, as well as any older person within a 50-mile radius falling for Mac's charm and wanting to adopt him as their own. A lovely little follow-up to 3x04 that's a whole hell of a lot better written than that episode was, I assure you. With fantastic characterization, attention to detail, and fun fleshing out of background characters, I hope you all like this one as much as I did!
Flour + SAK + Landline by Sapless_Tree
Whumptober No. 4 + ALT 1 Prompt: hostage + losing control Somehow, things were blurry again, looping and swirling and doubling. Mac furrowed his eyebrows and blinked hard. ā€œNow, isn't that better, Angus?"
In the mood for some Mac torture at the hands of Murdoc? Me too. This one's a fantastic fic that kept me on the edge of my seat and holding my breath the whole time. Really delightful despite maybe because of? the subject matter, and adds a healthy does of Protective!Mac, as well as his fear of heights. I certainly enjoyed reading this, and I'm sure you will too. (P.S. check out Nightcall for some incredible sickfic whumperflies)

Lost Cause + Voicemail by @ariwritessometimes
Jack is dead. Jack is dead, but Mac still calls his phone. Leaves an occasional message, as if it’s just any ordinary day and Jack just happened to leave his phone off. When a field op turns fatal, Mac makes a phone call to Jack’s voicemail just to hear him one last time. Little does he know, there's someone listening on the other end.
I adore this one (and not only because Jack lives and gets reunited with his kids) but also because I feel like it could be (and should have been, if you ask me) an episode in of itself. Each part of Ari's Phone Calls series is phenomenal, and if you want to read a devastating take on how Mac deals with Jack's absence, you'll love it.
Truth Serum + Failed Rescue + GSW by @rosieblogstuff
There had always been the possibility that Jack just wouldn’t get caught, or that he’d shoot his way out if he did. Otherwise they would have both gone in. Mac would have insisted on that, because he hates it, absolutely hates it, when the entire plan is for Jack to put himself between Mac and danger. That’s not how partnership should work. Mac, with his blue eyes and blond hair, can’t really pass as a local, but Jack can pull it off just fine. The right jacket, some artfully placed smudges on his face, a cap from a very non-tourist part of the local market, combined with just the right swagger, and there’s a decent chance that nobody will give him a second glance. So maybe he can get in, grab the intel, and get back out without even being spotted. But of course it couldn't just be that easy.
A twist on 1x12 Screwdriver's cold open, with Jack drugged up before being rescued by Mac. Both of the boys get whumped in this one, and struggle to make exfil. I love how Jack's uninhibited inner thoughts are written, and how much he worries about Mac. (A runner up in a similar vein would be Lake + Stick + Fever, another gem that deserves to be recognized)
A Legend In One's Own Time by @appalachianapologies
A look at 1x08 and the lasting effects that would end up shaping Mac's choices in 5x14. Mostly, Loretta being the best mom there is.
A wonderful (and heartbreaking) story detailing Mac's feelings after the events of Corkscrew, as well as Mac and Loretta Bozer's relationship. I consider everything in this fic to be canon, honestly- It's quite good. Also, if you were hoping that in 5x14 she would have talked to Mac as well after figuring out what Bozer does for a living, you'll love this as much as I did. (Side note, I HIGHLY recommend Vi's Schrƶdinger's Sandbox series. It's another one I love to revisit time and time again)
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too by @nativestarwrites
The first manhunt Bozer ever helped with was when he was twelve and Mac had run away after getting into trouble for blowing up the chemistry lab. This is the story of how he was found.
A lovely little fic with a dash of fluff and angst about little Bozer being the best brother in the world to his troubled friend. Short and sweet, with nailed characterization. (Check out Nativestar's Sleepy Softness series for some more wonderful fluff)
Rogue + Family + Home by @erinsworld
She knows how bad it looks, but this is Mac... He needs help, not to be hunted and she isn't about to turn her back on him and risk losing him forever.
A wonderful missing scene that we all so desperately needed in late season 4, and I'd say this is the canon we deserved. Incredibly touching and beautifully written (much more in-character than the writers were at the time, I might add) it also features a lovely little moment that I've added to my own personal headcanons. (If you aren't looking for a fix-it for the mess of later seasons, This Ain't Cairo takes an already great episode, Chisel, and adds some very good whump)
Petrichor by @paperxcrowns
He’s sinking back in, the mud refusing to relinquish its hold on him. A shudder runs up Mac’s spine as he drags himself out of the mud. Slowly, painfully, clawing at the earth trying to find a hold to use to free himself. Small roots and grass are ripped loose in his destructive wake of panic. Finally, finally, Mac’s legs pull free from the mud and scrambles back from the unmarked grave. The unmarked grave that almost became his.
I know some of my friends/followers are big fans of the buried alive trope (as am I) and this one delivers it in a BIG way. Incredibly suspenseful and emotional, this is another fic I come back to read time and time again. If you enjoy seeing Mac suffer, you're gonna LOVE this one like I did. Enjoy your time in the cemetery, buddy :) (Additionally, each one of paperxcrown's MacGyver fics is definitely worth checking out)
This Trophy Isn't Real Love by MaritimeSailorsCatherdral
AU end of Season 2: They find Mac's dad, and it goes differently. Tentatively, hoping for the best, Mac agrees to work on repairing and building the relationship with his father that he always wanted. Jack, though he doesn't trust James for a moment, keeps his reservations to himself. But as Mac grows distant and starts acting oddly, it becomes clear that it was more than overprotectiveness or insecurity that led to Jack's concerns. Something bad is happening to Mac, and Jack has a terrible feeling that whatever it is, James MacGyver is to blame. The truth is nothing he'd seen coming.
Ever read something where it feels like a warm fuzzy blanket while simultaneously stabbing you in the gut? This one is like that for me. Tears were shed while reading this one, and the character dynamics here are very special to me. This fic does contain abuse, but also a fair amount of comfort in the aftermath. I'd truly call this one a work of art, and I hope you all appreciate it too. While the author hasn't posted any other stories to this account, this one deserves so much love and more.
[add'l warnings: physical and emotional abuse from a parent]

Now I know there are many more that are near and dear to my heart that I haven't even mentioned yet, but this post is already getting quite long, so consider this a part one haha. Happy Cairo week everyone, and thank you to all of these very talented people who have shared their works with us to read! Go give them some love <3

Tell Me You're Going To Be Alright (I Don't Want The World To Turn Without You) | Buck x Bucky
Tumblr media
Summary : Perhaps life really only started when he opened the door to his room in flight school and shook hands with Gale Cleven. Perhaps the twenty-four years before that were only to learn how his legs and arms worked to get him to this moment, where he learned how his heart did. Or After the Regensburg Mission, John cannot forget just how close he came to losing Gale forever. He copes how he can, tending to Gale's wounds, and holding him when the adrenaline leaves him and Gale can't keep up the officer faƧade anymore. He lets Gale take care of the cuts that adorned his face even though John had forgotten them. And then, when all the wounds have been treated, desperation to feel just how alive the other still is settles in, like a wildfire of urgency that not even the presence of their men a few feet away can soothe.
Snippet :
ā€œYou did so good, darlin’,ā€ his lips attach themselves to Gale’s temple as another one of those broken noises pierces through his soul. ā€œBrought your boys to safety the best way you could.ā€ He thinks of the mangled body of a radioman and how easily it could’ve been Gale. Tightens his hold until there’s no telling where one of them begins and where the other ends.Ā 
ā€œYou did so, so good, Gale.ā€ He keeps on whispering in Gale’s ear, rubbing soothing circles on his back, and pressing kisses anywhere he can reach until Gale isn’t shaking as much anymore, tremors receding and replaced by a heavy blanket of exhaustion that sends him further into John’s chest. John doesn’t budge, stays rooted to his spot like the old oak tree in his mother’s garden, sheltering the house from rain and storms.Ā 
Minutes later, Gale shifts and clears his throat, the sound dulled by John's shirt before he starts to pull away. John’s heart screams and thrashes with wanting to bring him closer once again, but he knows better than to force Gale to lose control, knows the other is probably ashamed that he felt the need to be comforted. The anger simmering in his blood at that is cold and familiar enough for John to ignore it, preferring instead to stroke his thumb back and forth over Gale's cheekbone. A light smile pulls at his lips when Gale leans into the touch, a sigh leaving him as he nuzzles his cheek against John’s palm, as though the space has been carved just for him- John is certain it’s the case.
