handmade warmth
for the @sixteenth-day-event
The cold made Dream’s leg hurt. He rubbed a hand over his residual limb, massaging the scarred flesh and the muscle remained. It was a phantom pain and it annoyed him, that unwanted reminder of what had happened in the prison. He had told Techno that if it was in his mind then he should be able to control it and Techno hadn’t laughed but had given him an oddly tight smile and said he wasn’t sure it worked like that. Leaning forward, Dream held his hands out to the fire. It was low now, as the evening had dragged into night, and that was letting in the chill that caused the aching in his joints.
He thought about calling for Techno, who had disappeared upstairs for something he promised was important, to add another log. He could do it himself on a good day but he was tired and the muscle spasm in his leg when he had moved still hadn’t faded. Some rational part of his mind said it had been barely over a month since he had escaped the prison and it made sense he wasn’t up to much yet. Dream had been studiously ignoring it.
The metal poker was just within reach if Dream tipped the chair over just a little.
“If you fall, I am gonna laugh at you,” came Techno’s voice from behind him.
The chair dropped back to floor with a thud and Dream turned around with the best scowl he could manage, cheeks red and hot.
“I’m not—Shut up, Techno, you’re���you’re the one who left me here for, like, three hours,” said Dream, eyes flicking to the window as he tried to judge how much time had passed. The snow outside, tinted purple by the beacons, made it difficult.
“Bruh, it was not three hours.”
Dream rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, sinking into the chair.
“It felt like three hours.” Dream glanced down. “What’s that?”
The ‘that’ in question was a large package that was tucked under Techno’s arm. It was wrapped in paper decorated with snowflakes and holly and it was lumpy. The bow that had been carefully tied around it was crushed a little. Techno held it out and patted one hand against it.
“It’s a present, Dream,” he said, crossing the room to stand in front of Dream. He set in his lap. “Merry Christmas, man.”
Blinking a couple times, Dream ran his hand over the package and then frowned.
“It’s not even Christmas.”
Techno glanced at the fireplace then reached for a log. He carefully placed it on top, the flames licking at his fingers, and if it burnt, he didn’t seem to notice. Pulling his rocking chair a little bit forward, he sat.
“Eh, it’s Christmas Eve. Close enough.” Techno shrugged. “Beside, that’s as much for me as it is for you. Go on, open it, man.”
In the fireplace, the flames licked up the new log. Dream’s frown deepened. There were half a dozen protests he could make – that Christmas Eve still wasn’t Christmas, that he hadn’t gotten anything for Techno – but he began to carefully tear open the paper.
“Whatever,” he muttered. The embarrassed blush was still on his face.
Once the paper was removed, it took Dream a moment to figure out what it was. He ran his fingers over the soft fabric, a patchwork of different patterns and colors. Flowers and swirls and geometric shapes. Greens and blues and spots of reds. Dream unfolded the quilt partially. The back was three large blocks of fabric, all shades of dark navy that reminded Dream of the night sky in the arctic. He looked up. Techno was watching with a satisfied expression, mouth curved into a smile, tusks glinting in the firelight.
“What d’you think? Now you can finally stop hoggin’ my blanket,” said Techno.
Dream pulled the quilt further into his lap, letting it spill down across his legs. It was thicker than he had first realized. The weight on his lap was surprisingly comforting. It was warm. The mismatch of colors was pretty and Dream knew it’d be prettier once it was spread out. He loved it.
He said, “Heh. Hogging.”
In the chair across from him, Techno groaned and slapped a hand to his face in an over-exaggerated manner that was mostly to hide the grin. He got to his feet.
“Alright, that’s it. I’m takin’ it back, you’re outta here.”
Those words would��ve once caused a flutter of panic in Dream’s chest, would’ve birthed a snarky comment about wanting to leave, but Techno didn’t mean it. He knew that. Dream tugged the quilt up to his chest.
“No, fuck off, Techno. You made it for me, it’s mine.”
Laughing, Techno bent and tucked the blanket up around Dream’s shoulders.
“Yeah, you got me there, man,” he said. “I’m guessin’ you like it, then.”
The phantom pain had subsided. Dream shifted in the chair and rubbed his chin against the soft fabric of the quilt. A smile slowly worked its way across his face.
“Yeah.” A beat. “Thanks, Techno.”

I would love to hear ur kuro thoughts and hcs and fanfic recs sometime!
oh boy i have so many… hmm hm mhm ok
PART ONE: thoughts
controversial opinion!! i don’t think the undertaker is related to vincent/frances/o!ciel/misc. at least not by blood, but obviously there was something going on with claudia. but i feel like atp in the manga we would’ve had something more to hint at it like we did with the 2 ciels theory.
uh uh uh i literally almost shat myself when doll came back because WHAT! i missed her sm but i thought like… there was no way for her to come back?? but she’s here :) she’ll probably end up dead or getting snake killed though. finny is probably safe in terms of making it to the end of the manga
they should have killed off bard. i love him he’s one of my favorite characters but i’m tired of the manga not having any REAL stakes. either that or i’ve just been watching too much attack on titan/game of thrones recently. but idk killing off bard would have been ROUGH like woah, that’s a key piece to o!ciels success just gone. it would have balanced out the ‘win’ that o!ciel got with meyrin and ran mao
the chapters are WAYYY too short... like decrease the quality of the work to make more or take longer to release longer chapters pls and thanks. not every panel has to be this beautiful thing it can b a bit rough yana pls….. waiting on new chapters is GRUEEEEELING LIKE GRUELING. don’t get me even started on the last chapter bc what was THAT??? that was literally nothing like nothing, at all. the last two/three chapters should have been just one
PART TWO: headcanons
ronald died due to dick in lawnmower and that technically counted as offing himself bc it was 100% his fault
sebastian can taste food like a person can he’s just 1. not used to it 2. an asshole
o!ciel on multiple occasions has swiped everything off his desk, called sebastian into his room, and made him pick everything up and put it back EXACTLY where it was and if sebastian fucks it up o!ciel makes him start over
finny wasn’t allowed inside the manor for 2 weeks after he got his head stuck between the bannisters
lizzys favorite color is green
PART THREE: fanfic recs
so tbh i don’t consume a lot of fanfic for kuro just because filtering out all the garbage cuts out MOST fics on ao3, and i wouldn’t touch wattpad with a ten foot pole (i’m too lazy to figure out ff.net)
some fics i enjoy that you probably already know about are:
Coattails by @pain-in-the-butler
this is literally classic kuro fanfic like this is THEE fanfic for this fandom (but it’s highly likely you know this) i have a huge special interest in late victorian history in general so i very much appreciate the lengths the author goes to to make things feel authentically victorian :)
New Life; Cool Life by Rhonda
it’s very interesting and special to me !! it’s pretty dark but not terribly so, and it has some great character exploration for grelle and o!ciel. very au but feels like canon characters
Front Page News by TheArchaeologist
i like fics where sebastian gets the crap knocked out of him. great ensemble fic with focus on the servants :)
Staring Contest by BrainExhaustionGodStan
focus on bard but just a SMIDGE of dadbastian which is great
One is One, and All Alone by @pain-in-the-butler
oh my god another banger fic by my favorite kuro author wow. this one is a cool little snippet of r!ciel and o!ciel if they ended up going to weston. rlly cute very wholesome but with some angst ! but it’s hurt/comfort

oh good lord , h i hope you know what youve gotten yourself into by asking for the fic … [insert evil laughter here] okay okay now actually , the fic series doesnt focus on serial killers it was just that one fic in the series , but the serial killer fic is Blind Mirror (linked) by StrangeDiamond on Ao3 !!!! i have the print copies of the series (behold my collection) i think i also have to mention that its not an xreader fic lol
songs of resistance isnt part of the series but yaknow whatever . the ragnvindr brothers are a passion of mine and theyre my favorites i love them so much SHIDJSKDKD AND WHILE WERE ON THE TOPIC OF FIC RECS if you just so happen to have my horrid taste in men (/hj ?????) and like alhaitham , heres another one of my absolute favorite fics , i just call it Summers Fic (i hope these links are working properly lmao) and its got our favorites !!! murder / crimes , slowburn , (kinda) enemies to lovers (i fucking love the banter the author writes between mc and haitham) , + forensics stuff !! which is totally my jam because im a stupid little science gremlin .
you saying my board looks cool is so funny to me because like its a literal stock image , and while i couldve gone without it , low quality stock images just make me giggle for no reason so .. its also a little surprising you think its detailed because when i was making it i felt like i had to condense so much information for textbox space😭😭
i actually do a handful of things in the arts department , ive written my own little short stories and poems , and every once in a blue moon (when i have enough motivation) i make games ! granted theyre not very good , because im pretty sure im jackshit at characterization LOL heres a silly authors note i put in one of my short story docs just cuz why not honestly
also , YES I AM A DAIN LOVER IM ACTUALLY HIS BOYFRIEND (REAL) /j . all the khaenriah boys in general are my little sillies (i say as if they arent older than me) SO IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT DAIN WITH MY MESSAGES ARE OPEN (and i am more than willing to spout theorist nonsense about him and the other khaenriahn boys as well)
also you absolutely do not have to worry about your wording of anything , none of it came off negatively at all ! i think youre very nice lmao
heres a little question to end off because im running out of creative ways to signoff , do you kin anyone from genshin ?
hoping the images dont glitch out ,
- jellyfish
OHHH WAIT i think i've heard of that kaeya and diluc novel thingy??? i'm pretty sure i've seen them around twitter or tiktok some time ago and omg i should check them out then!!! those covers look so good maybe i'll actually get around with the whole series now that you've mentioned it
and omg that summers fic you just linked is already so amazing. you've captured my taste in genshin men perfectly (i say as i drool over alhaitham). i just finished with the first chapter and the author have really captured my heart with the bits of forensics and crime, adding on with the tinge of arab culture too!!! i'm gonna go ahead and read them when i have the time hehe
you do short stories... poems... AND GAMES???? hello am i seeing this right
(p/s: i low-key do those kinds of a/n in my google docs draft for ma too... but they just never made it to the finalized version 😔)
and actually dain is in bed with me rn idk what you're talking about 🙄🙄🙄 /j
me personally i am very interested in khaenriah lore but i really haven't gotten to it (tbh the overall lore of the game is a lot to take in) but i probably will someday,, if i am not lazy /hj
and honestly... i don't exactly know who i kin in genshin tbh. so i have decided to take this VERY extensive genshin kin quiz (as per what they've named their site) and surprisingly i got... collei?
though when i read this, it made me realize that, maybe i do kin her. whoops
okay i'm heading to bed now it's 1 am and i'm busy tomorrow 😔 it was nice talking with you again jellyfish !!! have a nice day 🫶
#h answers#okay that quiz took me longer to do than expected#i was... baffled to say the least#how did this quiz capture my character quickly#jellyfish <3

Countermeasures || 3
Anomaly
Fives x ofc!reader
<- previous chapter | next chapter ->
| main masterlist | series masterlist | read on ao3 |
Rating: 18+ only
Word Count: 5.7k
chapter summary: Agreeing to help Fives proves to be both good and bad.
warnings: canon character death, a sprinkle of fluff (Fives can be soft but we all know he’s quite the opposite in the right contexts 😉), a dash of sexual tension, a dollop of groping, tons of inappropriate thoughts - lordy lord get some cold water splashed on them
note: I broke away from including Fives’ POV in this chapter. It may come back in the future, idk yet. This is the first real series I’ve written and I’m extremely grateful for the pals I’ve met on here who reblog and like my work <3 Tbh I’m having a ton of fun writing this because not only does it give me an excuse to watch the conspiracy arc a bunch of times for the details but I also get to write about Renna and Fives and I love them both and I just want them to fuck already.
***
This was crazy. How did you of all people end up in a situation such as this.
By “this”, you were referring to the strong embrace you were trapped in - the ARC trooper you’re shamefully crushing on being the captor.
No, you definitely were not complaining.
After agreeing to help him, Fives you pulled into his body, his strong arms finding their way around your back holding you steady. Large palms nearly covered the expanse of your back, the heat from his skin burning holes right through your outer layers and into your flesh. Your face was practically smushed into his broad chest, your arms dangling awkwardly at your sides. The weight of Fives’ chin was pressing into your scalp. So many thoughts were swimming in your head as Fives held you as tight as he could without hurting you.
He was... hugging you. To be completely honest, you thought the two of you would fuck - or at least do something along those lines - before he hugged you. It was the energy he possessed that led you to that conclusion, but you were proven wrong.
You didn’t fight it - you knew how much it meant to him. These clones - these soldiers - were covered in plastoid from head to toe all day every day throughout their unfortunately short lives, and you figured they must be at least somewhat touch-starved. The way Fives held you was different than you thought he was capable of. You weren’t naïve; you knew the clones took off their armor at certain points, and hey, you knew that they even would have sex in their short spurts of time off. You read reports on clones who had contracted STD’s from their adventurous endeavors and were sent here to be treated. Even though they were created in a lab for the sole purpose of fighting in this ridiculous war, they were still men.
You wanted to keep up some at least some semblance of professionalism - to not touch Fives back, because quite honestly your body wanted more - but your heart started aching, and your body acted against your brain as your arms returned the embrace.
Fives was thick. The clones as a whole aren’t huge men; they aren’t fed nearly enough - that much you knew - and are relatively slim with a very low percentage of body fat compared to all the muscle they were designed to have. They’re not that much taller than you, either. However, you’ve never held a clone before. Fives’ back was like a bag of ropes; hard, thick, and you felt every single muscle so beautifully poking out of his skin even through the tunic. You allowed your hands to splay out over his back - to really feel him. You were completely lost in this moment, but you heard it - barely noticeable, but you heard it - Fives inhaled quietly through his nose, taking in your hair’s scent. You knew deep down that he didn’t mean for you to notice him smelling your hair, so you didn’t mention it. Butterflies flapped around in your stomach - then the butterflies quickly floated away and that feeling was exchanged with pure lust; the fire in your belly burning hot with desire.
You don’t know how long you held each other, but you needed to break away from him and get back to the matters at hand. You agreed to help him, and that’s what you’ll do. Maybe he’ll be so thankful for your help he’ll ���hug” you again later.
“You do you have a plan, right, mister ARC trooper?” Breaking away from his embrace, you tried to shake your mind clear of any thoughts that didn’t include Tup.
“Of course I have a plan!” Fives’ tone suggested he was attempting to play off what had just happened, and it was cute. He walked over to the darkened window and kept his back turned to you. Perhaps he was trying to clear his thoughts as well. You wouldn’t know, but Fives was barely breathing in through his nose so that your scent lingered in his nostrils for as long as possible.
“Care to share?” You called to him, and Fives paused for a few moments before responding.
“Are you able to access all the equipment without the supervision of the long-necks?” He finally turned around, his brows raised. You blinked at him, just a little dumbfounded and slightly offended.
“Yes, Fives. Maker, I know how to work the kriffing equipment. I don’t need a babysitter.” You rolled your eyes then squinted them at him, crossing your arms to your chest with a huff.
“That’s not what I meant,” Fives chuckled as he approached you once again and placed a hand on your shoulder. “I meant, are you going to get in trouble if you’re working alone in there?” His gaze bore into you, making you feel slightly uneasy. Yeah, you knew how to work everything, of course. But this was all new territory for you; working - unauthorized – on a patient who wasn’t yours, performing an atomic brain scan unsupervised, breaking protocol…
“I- I’m not actually sure. I’ve never been explicitly told to not touch anything without them being there? I think it will be okay. It’s just that- that Dr. Nala Se said no to the scan. I don’t think she’ll like that I went behind her back and did it anyway. Although… I want to try everything in my power to save your friend.”
“Right. Then let’s get to it.”
“I’m sorry - let’s? You’re coming too? That doesn’t seem like a good-”
“It’ll be fine,” Fives quickly interjected. His confident tone faded with the next part: “Please. I want to be there - be there for Tup.” There they were again, those puppy dog eyes that get you every time. You doubt Fives even knows he’s doing it, but he had to catch on by now because you basically have never said no to him in the few short days you’ve known him. Your attraction to him made you break over and over again; this time was no different.
“Okay, fine. But you need to stay hidden.”
“I’m ‘Mr. ARC Trooper’, remember? I’ve been trained in the arts of being sneaky.” Wiggling his fingers and brows at you with a cheeky grin, you laughed and punched him in the shoulder. His grin only grew.
“Yeah whatever. Just follow me.”
You were the first to exit Fives’ room, peeking your head just outside the door to get a feel of the surrounding area. No guards in sight at the moment, so now was the perfect time to go.
“Quickly,” you stepped outside the room, motioning with your hand for Fives to follow. It didn’t take long to get next door, of course.
You pressed the controls on the panel and the door whisked opened; you shooed Fives in first. As soon as he entered, two guards came around the corner. You obviously didn’t want to look like you were doing something you weren’t supposed to, so you put on your best smile and nodded to the oncoming troopers. They nodded back and turned at the next corridor that led away from Tup’s room.
You stood there for a moment, just outside the room - thinking. You were obviously crazy, no doubt about that. You were breaking protocol, and basically risking your internship and everything you had worked for up to this point for Fives (and Tup). It was the right thing to do, right? Your insane crush on the ARC trooper aside, you were going through with all of this because it was the right thing to do. It definitely wasn’t right that the Kaminoans wanted to kill Tup off without entertaining more options and trying other procedures. It all seemed very… weird. As doctors, wouldn’t they want to try every possible way to find a solution without skipping over it all and just killing him? Although, why waste more time and resources when the “obvious” solution was to terminate him and find the answers through an autopsy? Maybe you should give it more time – Shaak Ti could be back soon with the Jedi Council’s backing. Maybe it wasn’t too late to back out – to turn around and coax Fives back into his room before you were both caught.
The moment was over when Fives’ hand reached out to grab your wrist, unceremoniously pulling you into the room. You nearly tripped as he yanked you inside, a murmured “hey!” subconsciously rolled off your tongue at the rough pull.
“Sorry, Renna.” He shut the door behind you, giving you an apologetic smile. “Did- did I hurt you? Sometimes I forget my own strength... I’m not used to manhandling pretty and delicate things.” Okay, let’s push that comment aside and table it for later on when you’re alone in your quarters.
Fives reached out to examine your wrist but you flapped your hands at him, “Really, I’m okay. Seriously.” You weren’t lying - it didn’t hurt. If you told him the absolute truth, you would tell him how you wished he’d manhandle you in other ways.
“Alright. Let’s get to work.”
Knowing how quickly you had to work for this entire plan to play out smoothly, you immediately made your way over to the controls and started tapping away. You turned your head to check on Fives – to see how he was planning on participating – and he was just frozen in place standing over Tup’s cot. Tup was still unconscious; his chest rising and falling rapidly in his comatose, shut eyelids flickering back and forth.
“Fives, push him over there.” You pointed at the scanner on the other side of the room with your back still turned as you tapped away at the screens, prepping the equipment. With one last tap of the screen, the scanner descended from the ceiling and Fives pushed Tup’s cot into it.
Tup’s chest rose and fell at an alarming rate, compelling you to consider - again - about turning back and aborting this plan altogether.
Fives came around the other side of the scanner where you watched the infrared picture of Tup’s brain from display screen, snapping you out of the thought.
“The scan’s almost complete.”
Fives moved in front of you and leaned closer to the screen, you shuffled to the side to give him to space. Your eyes unglued from the screen for just a moment to watch Fives; he was desperate. The look in his eyes told you that much, and his stance wasn’t as strong and sure as it always seemed to default to.
Your focus made way back to the screen. “Everything… appears to be normal.” Just as you said that the screen starting beeping; a red dot was blinking, pinpointing an anomaly in Tup’s brain.
“W- wait a second.” You softly pushed Fives out of the way and read the results displayed on the screen.
“What? What is it, Ren?” Your heart skipped a beat at the sound of his little nickname for you, but there were more important things currently at hand. You can freak out about the way he says your name like that later.
“It looks like Tup has developed a tumor.” Your fingers started tapping away yet again. You’ve never seen a tumor in clones before. To be fair, you had never worked with clones like this before, but you’ve seen more than enough of their files to know that a tumor wasn’t exactly something that could just appear in a clone.
“A tumor? Is that even possible?”
“I’ve never seen anything like this in clones. Not in any of the files.” You ceased tapping, turning around to face Fives. His hand raked through his hair, a pure look of confusion and worry on his face.
“Then… what is it?”
“I honestly don’t know. I’ll need to do a biopsy to be sure.” With a nod, you offered a reassuring smile. “It’ll be okay, Fives. We’ll get this straightened out, and you and Tup will be off this stormy planet and back to your brothers in no time.” You weren’t sure you even believed your words.
“You’re gonna take it out of him?” Before you could answer, Fives whacked the tools all over the ground with one graceless hand movement. Your eyes widened as he bent down to grab at the mess. “Do you, uh, think anyone heard that?”
You raised your brow at him, and with a sarcastic tone, “The probability is high, yes.” You sighed. “You need to hide.”
Smacking his hands away as he continued to pick up the mess, you hissed, “Fives, hide.”
“I think it came from this room.” You both shot up; you ran over and pushed Tup out of the tube and started to power it down at the controls as Fives took cover under Tup’s floating cot. Interesting that an ARC Trooper chose that as a hiding place.
The door whisked opened. Nala Se stood at the entrance, looking around. Her bug-eyes landed right on you, then glanced over to Tup.
“Hello, Doctor.” Your tone was astonishingly calm despite the absolute terror currently running through your system.
“What do you think you’re doing?” She entered through the threshold and made her way over to Tup, assessing his condition with a scowl.
“I was only trying to save the patient,” You informed her, keeping your tone calm and professional. You were ignored, however. Apparently, Fives was not so great at cleaning up his messes, because one leftover syringe sat on the ground right below the Kaminoan’s heels. She reached down to grab it, and your heart started racing. You blurted out, “Doctor, I found something unusual in the scan. It appears to be a tumor… I think you should take a look-”
“You performed a second scan without my authorization?” Nala Se stood upright; the forgotten syringe grasped in her three slender fingers. How did she not see Fives down there? Uh oh… where did he go?
Your heart rate slowed. “Apologies, Doctor. I was only trying to-”
“Perhaps I made the mistake in assuming you’d be ready to work with the clones.” Nala Se turned around to shut off the remaining equipment; machines began powering off as they whirled back in place and Tup’s cot moved back to where it was before you started. One of the larger machines floated away, leaving Fives completely exposed. Ah, so that’s where he went. Your eyes widened as you looked between Fives’ shocked expression and Nala Se, who was still turned around and tapping at the controls. As much as you dreaded pressing further on, you needed to buy Fives enough time to make an escape back to his own room.
“But- but the tumor, Doctor. It seems to be blocking neuro-impulses from communicating with the brain. I think we should scan the rest of the clones to see if this is a problem with their base genetic model or a mutation with the current models.” The machines were all now back in place; you scanned the room with your eyes, hoping to not catch a glimpse of Fives.
“There is no tumor. Your scan is incorrect.” Nala Se departed the control panel, ambling over to the other side of the room. You really hope Fives had fled by now. Might as well keep on pressing, though. It did interest you that the Kaminoan doctor was so avidly trying to disregard what you were saying about a tumor. That was a thread you figured you should follow.
“But-”
“This clone clearly has a virus that remains undetected, but I will find the cause once he’s terminated.” You followed Nala Se until she reached Tup’s cot, her back turned to the exit. “Now leave. I’ll figure out what to do with you later.”
“Yes, Doctor.” You turned on your heels and walked out the already open door. You turned your head to watch Nala Se; she was still standing over Tup, but you were unsure of what she was doing. Something really didn’t seem right with this. You nearly crashed into Fives in the hall as you departed Tup’s room.
“I can’t believe they’re going to kill Tup!” Fives shouted in disbelief after you both had made your way back into his room and shut the door. Fives shoved the empty cot to the other side of the room, clearly frustrated.
“I know. I’m sorry, Fives.” All you could offer was a sincere apology. It didn’t seem like a great idea at present to bring up how you thought the entire ordeal with Nala Se seemed fishy.
“We were not created to be disposed of this way!” He slammed his fists on the cot, an action that seemed to be fueled by rage, but his eyes told a different story.
“Just- just think of it this way… Tup is sacrificing himself so that other clones like him can survive. Isn’t that something you said he’d want?” You went to reach for him - to offer a gentle reassuring touch - but he backed away.
“There aren’t others like him!” His raised voice prompted you to take a few steps back. You weren’t scared of him, but you understood they he may need some space right now. Maybe it would be best if you retreated to your quarters and called it a day. After all, Nala Se basically sealed your fate by undoubtedly reassigning you to the archives. It probably wasn’t appropriate that you been seen in Fives’ room anymore. Your own selfishness kept you there, though.
“I’m sorry, Ren. I don’t mean to take this out on you, I just-” You allowed yourself to take a few steps towards him. “Tup doesn’t have to die - you found a tumor. I’m sure that’s the cause of all this. It’s the only thing that makes sense.”
“But… how can we proceed? Dr. Nala Se basically reassigned me to the archives. I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be here with you anymore. I could get dismissed, sure, but I have no idea what would happen to you.”
“Do the biopsy. I’m sure what you find will prove Tup doesn’t have to die. Your findings would bump you up in the ‘ranks’ I’m sure, and they would have no reason to send you back to filing paperwork.” A beat. “As for me… I’ll be fine.” You both knew that was a lie. You’ve seen what the Kaminoans have done to “defective” clones. It’s all in the files. It’s inhumane. There was no way you’d let that happen to Fives.
“I’m not so sure…. Dr. Nala Se doesn’t believe-”
“We’re not going to Nala Se with whatever you find. We’ll go to General Shaak Ti. She helped me once as a cadet and I know she values the life of a clone.” Now that, that was the truth.
“Fives… I’d be disobeying direct orders.” At this point, you didn’t care what happened to you if you were to go through with this. Fives was who you were concerned with. Not because of a hopeless crush, but because of his status of patient and you sincerely cared about him.
“Yep, and for the second time today,” He jested. Not funny. You scoffed. “Ren…” There they are, yet again - the puppy dog eyes. Those, paired with how he said your name. You’d break for sure. “Will you help me? Please.”
***
“Hurry!” Fives was hunched over the control panel with you, basically micromanaging you even though he had no idea what it was you were doing.
“Fives, you’re going to have to not rush me. I’m not a droid. Give me a kriffing minute.” Your fingers tapped frantically at the screen, hitting button after button until -
“Intruder alert. Intruder alert. All nonessential personnel report to a safe room for lockdown.”
You stood up straight and grinned over at Fives, who looked a little shocked.
“What did you do?” The alert played over again on the intercom.
“I made it so that the security scanners picked up an intruder in section C-6. We need to hurry, though. I doubt it’ll take them long before they realize it’s a false alarm.”
“They taught you how to hack a security mainframe at the fancy medical academy you attended on Coruscant?”
You rolled your eyes at him, hands on your hips. “Is that really important right now?” Fives chuckled and shook his head. Grabbing his wrist, you stretched your head to look outside the door. “They have guards stationed just outside. How are we going to get over there?” You turned towards Fives, who was pulling away from you and looking up at the ceiling. You followed his gaze, and you knew exactly what he was thinking. “The vents?” You sounded a little shocked, but it really was the only safe way out of there. He tilted his head down to look at you, a smile on his face. You snorted.
“Here, I’ll climb up first and then pull you up.” Your looked over at the door again, making sure you weren’t about to get absolutely busted, and grabbed his dangling hands.
You shook your head with a smirk. “You know, I’m starting to wish I had stayed in the archives,” you jested, as Fives hoisted you up and into the vent with him.
You never realized just how creepy it was up in these vents. To be fair, there wasn’t one moment that you would’ve pictured yourself crawling through them, but here you were. It was dark, every movement you made echoed, and it was freezing cold. You – for some reason – were leading the way, crawling through the cold durasteel tunnel. Fives was silent; he wasn’t making any comments, not cracking any jokes, not even expressing his concern for Tup. It dawned on you: he was totally checking out your ass. You had shed your long lab coat before he pulled you up, knowing that it would be harder to crawl with it tugging under your knees. Fives hadn’t yet seen you without it on… and you knew how good your ass looked in the leggings you wore. With a slight chuckle to yourself, you stopped crawling for a moment and looked over your shoulder to glance at him to the best of your ability.
“Fives, are you staring at my ass?” You tried to not let your giddiness get in the way of your accusatory whispering, but you found yourself muffling laughter. He didn’t reply right away – probably trying to think up a comeback or a way to wiggle himself out of the subject.
“Fuck yeah I am,” he murmured back, sounding as cocky as ever. You bit your lip and shook your head, resuming the crawl towards the oncoming exit vent. “I don’t exactly have anything else to look at from back here, you know. I got quite a nice view, so, no complaints.” Your face heated up at his smug comment, resisting the urge to shake your ass for him – to really give him a good view. Now was not the time.
You crawled past the vent so Fives could hop down first; he plopped onto the floor, graceful and stealthy as ever, before standing directly under the vent with his arms held out.
“Common, I’ll catch you.” It really wasn’t a long way down; you’d land just fine, though probably not as gracefully as he did.
“Uh, okay…” You lowered your legs out from the ceiling, keeping your grip on the cool metal for a moment while you steadied yourself. “Fives, I think I got it. I can just hop down like th-” Your grip from the ceiling slipped, sending you down and nearly hitting the floor in the worst way possible, when strong arms found their way under your ass and back.
Fives just saved you from breaking a bone or two, and all you could do was blink up at him as his hand slightly squeezed the plushy part of your ass, the other hand gripped tightly on your waist. Maybe he thought you wouldn’t notice the way he was savoring holding you like that, but you did. And you liked it.
“Nice to look at and feels nice, too.” Fives grinned at you before setting you down on your feet. He definitely shouldn’t be talking about how your ass looks and feels right now with his friend lying nearly dead on the cot barely an arm’s length away - but, is he was open to making comments such as those during these unsure times, you’d reciprocate. A boost of confidence surged through you.
“Glad you like it, trooper. Maybe some time you can see and feel it without these in the way,” you pulled at your leggings, looking him straight in the eyes with a smirk. Seeing Fives’ expression was well worth making the comment.
“Don’t say things you can’t follow up on, Renna.” His shocked expression quickly flipped to dark, catching you completely off guard and making you gulp. Your entire body felt as if it was on fire as tiny fireworks danced in your gut. There was absolutely no way you’d be able to follow up on your innuendo-filled comment unless you found each other in another life under different circumstances. You needed to shake it out of your system.
Firing up the laser drill, you looked over at Fives and studied his worried expression. He looked so soft, so concerned – it tugged at your heart harder than you cared to admit. His focus remained on Tup until the sound of the drill made him look up.
Your hands were slightly shaking. You felt it, but it didn’t appear to be noticeable. You had never performed a biopsy on a real, living, breathing lifeform before. Everything you had done during your schooling was on the deceased or on medical dummies. You were nervous, but this wasn’t about you. You finally had the chance to save a life. You needed to pull it together.
“Renna, are you okay?” Fives’ voice nearly came out as a whisper. You looked up at his eyes; he was studying you, deeply.
You took a deep breath and nodded with a slow exhale. You turned your attention back to the drill, grabbing Tup’s head and positioning it to where you needed.
“You might want to look away at this part.”
***
You did it. A successful biopsy. Feeling a bead of sweat threatening to fall from your hairline, you wiped it away with your arm and looked up at Fives who still had his eyes squeezed shut.
“Is it done?” The absent sound of the drill encouraged him to open his eyes. You held up the tumor, encased in a transparent casing. You handed it to Fives; he studied it closely, bringing it up to his face with a sigh. The moment was over when the door whisked open.
“What have you done?” Dr. Nala Se came into the room; Fives didn’t appear frightened, but you sure as fuck were.
“We saved my friend’s life.” Fives whipped around to face the “long-neck” - as he calls them - holding up the tumor in an accusing manner towards her, “This tumor is the cause of his illness.” She reached out and tried to grab the encased organic matter, but Fives maintained a hard grip as they fought for it.
“Give me that!” Nala Se looked angrier than you had ever seen her. You ran up to them, trying to stop something before it started.
“You can’t be trusted.” Fives reached down to Tup’s cot with his free hand, grabbing a mysterious syringe, and held it up in a threatening manner. You reached your hands up to stop him, but Shaak Ti’s sudden arrival did the job for you.
“Stand down, trooper.” She stood at the doorway with her hand outstretched. Jedi didn’t need to hold a weapon; you knew what they could do with just one outstretched hand in the blink of an eye. You’ve never seen it in action, but you’ve heard stories.
Fives dropped the hand holding the syringe but kept hold of the tumor with his other. “I have evidence. It’s right here!” He sounded desperate. This looked way too bad. You were caught right in the middle of it all, too.
“I’m free…” A weak voice croaked from the cot, making all the heads in the room turn in the same direction. Tup. Fives let go of the tumor and whipped his body around to face his friend, crouching down next to Tup and leaned in close.
“Tup?”
“The mission… free.”
“What is he saying?” Shaak Ti entered through the threshold, a few guards flowing in from behind her with their blasters aimed at Fives.
“Brother, what mission?” It was apparent that Fives was trying to understand what was coming from Tup’s mouth, and could not care less that his own kind were holding weapons to him. It had been the first time anyone had heard Tup speak words that didn’t sound like “kill” and “Jedi” since his arrival.
“You… you know the one. The- the mission, the one in our dreams…” Fives’ wide eyes scanned over his friend, searching for a clue, for anything. “…that never ends.”
You were frozen in your spot, taking in Tup’s bewildering words. You watched Fives’ expression as he frantically tried to decipher what Tup was murmuring. You glanced up from them, seeing the guards' buckets turn to look back and forth at each other. The mission - the one from their dreams?
“Oh, brother…” Tup’s hand lifted to the best of its ability; Fives grabbed it with his own and squeezed. This moment was so raw, so emotional, so real. You never would have thought…
“This is the end. Forget the mission.” Tup was fading away. You could hear it in his voice, and you knew that Fives knew what was coming. It looked as though Fives was holding back tears – trying to keep his composure. “Oh, the nightmare. I’m… free.” With that, Tup was gone.
You scanned the room. Shaak Ti bowed her head, hand over her heart. The other clones lowered their weapons down to their sides, heads bowing. Nala Se, however, remined the same. Her expression never changed. Heartless Kaminoans.
Fives was shaking his friend’s body, begging him to come back. “I thought I saved him…” You didn’t know what to do now. Tup was gone, and it was your fault. He was alive until you removed the tumor. Fives was in pain – mourning for his brother because of you. You took a few steps back, and leaned against the counter, your fingers combing through your scalp. Not only did you disobey direct orders twice today, but you also killed the very first lifeform you did a biopsy on, and to top that off, the patient you killed was important - a brother - to someone you deeply cared about.
***
Fives was placed under arrest just shorty after. Tup’s body wasn’t even cold yet.
You stood there in silence; Fives locked eyes with yours as he was almost forcefully escorted out of the room by the surrounding guards. It was clear that both of you were trying to communicate with the other using only your eyes, but no distinct message was coming across. You wanted to tell him you were so sorry for everything, and that you’d miss him, that you’d never forget him and Tup, and that meeting him changed your view of the clones entirely. But, there were no final goodbyes, no condolences given. Fives would be taken away, and you would be dismissed. You’ll miss Fives with all your heart, but you won’t miss Kamino.
General Shaak Ti followed behind the guards, leaving you in the macabre room with Dr. Nala Se and Tup’s lifeless body. It was silent for a moment before Nala Se looked over to you, shaking her head in disbelief. You were in big trouble.
“Miss Renna,” the long-neck approached slowly, closing the gap between where you were hunched forward over the counter resting on your elbows and where she was covering Tup’s body with a sheet. “I can not condone this type of behavior from an intern. I have no choice but to reassign you to your previous duties in the archives indefinitely.” You were not at all surprised. You nodded slowly, still not looking up at her. You felt numb. Only three days into real field experience, and you fucked up royally. You didn’t need to help Fives, resulting you in ending up in whatever this is. It was interesting that you weren’t dismissed like you’d assume you would be – just reassigned. The thing with Dr. Nala Se acting weird when Tup’s tumor came into play still was on the front of your mind; perhaps you would be able to look into these matters during your long, boring hours in the archives.
Finally looking up at Nala Se, “What… what is going to happen to my patient?” The words nearly came out choked as you tried to hide your worry for Fives. You needed to keep up the front – the professionality of it – so no suspicion would arise. She was scrolling through a datapad, clutching the tumor in her three fingers. The tumor. You tried to study it from afar - what it looked like, the coloring, how the cells neighbored inside it. It looked... dead. Depleted. You snapped your eyes away and over at the dead trooper, whose body was now completely covered by a thin sheet, when Nala Se spoke again.
“Do not worry about ARC-5555. It will be taken care of, so we can put this matter behind us. Just be thankful I didn’t dismiss you, Miss Renna. You are too valuable to replace with some other eager intern.”
Valuable? ‘It’? Taken care of?
“I am thankful, Doctor. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.” You were motioned to exit the room; as you walked by Nala Se, you caught one last glance at the tumor, attempting to burn the image of it in your brain and commit it to memory. There was something about the tumor – something that prompted strange behavior from the Kaminoans – and you needed to figure out what that something was.

Bkdk Fic Rec
I’ve been inspired to write a fic rec! This one goes out to you @lonely-rabbit
At like, the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 I stayed up until 4am every night reading fics, and because I’m such a loser, I made a word doc to keep track of all of them so I wouldn’t forget them.... I tried organizing it by length but it got messy cause I’m ridiculous and cluttered, so sorry! (I’ll save my own for the end alskdjflsdkfj gotta self promote you know). This is going to get...really long, so I’ll put it under a read more! Also, just a heads up, these are all on ao3, in case that’s important to anyone!
Disclaimer: Any fics with mature or explicit content I will add a bolded warning for, even if it’s only a little bit. Normally most fics will be tagged as such, but some fics that are rated as teen I’ve found to be more suggestive than some of those rated as mature, so I will try to point it out where it feels necessary, for anyone who wishes to avoid it.
Fics under 1k:
Illuminate by TheQueen (269 words)
Summary: Bakugou watches the first firework launch and fights to keep his face neutral
Very short, plot is about a case of amnesia, also very cute and well written for that length! Not angsty at all imo
sweaty hands holding secrets - shounentwink (563 words)
Summary: Someone said Midoriya holds secrets in his hair.
It’s not true: He holds it tightly in his hands. Bakugou’s seen it.
I really like this writer! You’ll see quite a bit of them in this post alkdsjfalskdjf
Fics 1k - 10k:
Many sunflowers later - Jeka (2395 words)
Summary: Scholar Midoriya Izuku comes back to the person he left behind after his journey through the kingdom, the mighty dragon clan leader Bakugou Katsuki.
Day 1 of Twin Stars Week 2020: Fantasy AU.
First of all, fantasy au!!! Second of all, jeka!!! (I need to read more of your stuff!!) Anyways, so cute, such lovely, pretty writing, wonderful story telling, and they’re so in love TT_TT
Boom Badoom Boom - warschach (3429 words)
Summary: Izuku's working the kissing booth at the school fair, it just so happens Katsuki has been crushing on him since the first grade.
“Did you��“ Izuku parted his mouth with no sound leaving it, “Did you pay?”
“Yea.”
“For a kiss?”
This one’s a little silly but I love it still. It’s got a “kids in the 80′s over summer vacation” vibe, I think. I love warschach! I should read more of their writing... They have SUCH good bakudeku content! *It’s rated teen but there’s some suggestive content, just a heads up!
Hopeless Ramen-tic - lalazee (7155 words)
Summary: Midoriya is a cute guy who works at a ramen stall and Bakugou is thirsty as hell, but has to hide it by being an asshat. Another love story.
Ah, so good TT_TT so much sass, such good plot development and story telling for a simple concept *It’s rated as teen but again, it can be suggestive at times!
I’ll share this with you, so leave it behind - yabakuboi (3508 words)
Suammry: For the sake of the story, All Might is never in need of a successor, and, when Izuku saves Katsuki from the sludge monster, encourages young Midoriya down a different path. Thus, Katsuki and Izuku part ways after junior high, as Katsuki enters U.A. and the Midoriyas move overseas. It’s later that Katsuki realizes that there’s something missing, that he drove that something away.
Years after, Katsuki finds him in the last place he looks, in the cereal aisle at the local grocery store of their childhood neighborhood.
So soft, so sweet, so good if you just want to curl up in a comfy blanket and drink hot cocoa and feel warm and cozy and a little in love
The Secret Deku Box - yabakuboi (2241 words)
Summary: “Y’know, Bakugou never, ever talks about girls,” Kaminari says, his voice thoughtful.
“And I wonder why that is.” Ashido rolls her eyes.
“I’m just curious!” Kaminari whines. Kirishima drags the box out, unlabeled and unassuming, the lid not even fully clasped over the edges. “The guy has to— Whoa, what’s that?”
Kirishima realizes a little belatedly that this is a serious breach of privacy, and Bakugou will actually murder all of them. “Nothing!” he cries, attempting to shove it back under the bed, but Ashido snatches it away.
“Please be his porn stash!” Kaminari whispers as she whips the lid off.
Cute, funny, in canon, in character, and a must read I would say!
daisy bunches and heather branches - halcyonwhispers (5862 words)
Summary: izuku falls in love with the foul-mouthed tattoo artist next door.
Not another flower/tattoo shop au.... aldskjflaskdjfd Okay but punk!Bakugou is ALWAYS a smart move imo
the best part of me (is the worst I can give) - halcyonwhispers (5668)
Summary: Whole sentences usually make up people’s Words, but Katsuki got stuck with a name instead.
Izuku’s name.
I am such a sucker for soulmate aus when it comes to these boys TT_TT *There is some mature content, just a heads up!
Hard to Say - halcyonwhispers (8390 words)
Summary: Izuku is a Halfling, born after his faerie father spirited away his mom and then left her behind. Never quite fitting in with the humans or any of the supernatural beings in his small town, Izuku hoped that going to a diverse college in the big city will help him finally make friends.
Katsuki’s family has been powerful witches for generations, and he’s no different. Talented and a proclaimed genius to boot, he knew he shouldn’t waste his time on this dumbass (disgustingly cute) half-blood.
Or,
two idiots fall in love and don’t get that the other’s awkward cues are just a result of romantic tension.
I am ALSO a sucker for fantasy/mythical creatures au and I LOVED this one - Bakugou absolutely unable to handle how cute Midoriya is? Perfection - but it’s unfinished, and I don’t think it ever will be continued, unfortunately TT_TT
lots to unpack (throw away the whole suitcase) - shounentwink (4315 words)
Summary: “How’d you know?” Midoriya asks.
There’s a hunch to his shoulders that wasn’t there three hours ago. Freckled shoulders are kissed sunburnt and red: he looks like someone ran him over and left him like roadkill in the sunlight. Bakugou’s working with insurance today, but he could see the sparks of green lightning even from his elevated position in their shared agency. Midoriya’s holding his thumb, cracking it over and over — it looks like he’s rubbed it raw.
“Dunno,” Bakugou says. “Maybe you’re just easy to read, nerd.”
I love this one so much, it was one of the first ones I read, it’s so good, and it’s another that really affected how I view their relationship! Idk this one just hit for me
hang the moon from us (it’s a no from me) - shounentwink (1200 words)
Summary: Midoriya’s gonna get sick of Bakugou one of these days, and then the whole ruse will be over, and the balance of power will tilt beyond salvation, but that day isn’t today and it looks like Bakugou knows it.
What an asshole.
Once again, I’m a sucker for the fantasy au... But even more, the diction, the details, the imagery...it’s absolutely all stunning here. I wish I could write this pretty
In Which Bakugou Finds His One Tru Luv - Erina (5862 words) This is the first one of a series called The Misadventures of Explodo-kill Agency!
Summary: Welcome to the Explodo-kill agency! We can destroy your buildings, crash your cars, and help you solve one of the seven mysteries in life: who is Bakugou Katsuki's mysterious boyfriend?!
I’ll admit I’ve only read the first three but by god they are the funniest fics I’ve ever read in my life. I see that Erina has added more since the last time I checked it out! Tbh I was only interested in reading the purely bakudeku ones... (My favorite was the second one!! SO funny and cute!)
i still do - raeryn (9646 words)
Summary: He’s losing him to pieces, but Izuku still tries to make them count. In which a battle leaves Bakugou Katsuki with amnesia, and Izuku finds himself picking up the pieces.
So, this one makes me cry. TT_TT
One Thing Straight - winningshot (9899 words)
Summary: They totally aren't.
Hints of their relationship is found in all of their friends’ social media accounts, but majority of their fans still think that Katsuki and Izuku are in relationships with anybody but each other.
It was amusing up until it became sad.
Lmao it’s a little salty but I guess I can be too. This is a social media fic! There’s multiple ships in this one, too
A Demolition Boy & his Cryptid BF - kewltie (8472 words)
Summary: Bakugou of the Demolition Squad is famous for running one of the most popular Youtube channels on the web that regularly blow shit up and jumped off a perfectly good building for shit and giggles. He's also famous for his Cryptid BF™, never appearing on camera except for a few bodyshots and all information on him is kept locked up tighter than Fort Knox, therefore drawing all sort of attention and curiosity toward his mysterious boyfriend.
Deku from Deku Explains is a hopeless chatterbox who is known for uploading 20-30 minutes video that talked about his favorite shows and comics and have one of the most devoted following on Youtube. He also can't seem to shut up about his boyfriend Kacchan, who regularly make his presence on the channel as a disembodied voice.
They should theoretically have nothing in common except a shared platform to host their content and an army of fans with an endless curiosity and devotion to their Youtubers. Vidcon is where we lay our scene and the internet is about to get a rude wake up call.
Okay kewltie is SO GOOD and very creative! The formatting is phenomenal, it’s like you’re actually experiencing a social media melt down in real time lol
be my good luck charm - writedeku (6785 words)
Summary: See, the thing is, Midoriya Izuku had been born with a curse. It’s not a curse that’s particularly visible. He doesn’t have horns, or a tortured face, and it’s not the kind of silly curse like a friend of his had way down south in Diagnor, wherein the girl had been born without the ability to say the word duck. Midoriya Izuku is just extremely unlucky.
(Or the AU in which Izuku's the world's unluckiest travelling merchant, and Katsuki is someone who may be able to help him. For a price, that is.)
Oh I adore this one! It’s so cute and such a good narrative! Nice and warm, and Bakugou trying his damnedest to be suave, and it somehow working because Midoriya is just as flustered. *Another one rated as teen but some suggestive content.
Smells Like Victory - majjale (2377 words)
Summary: Bakugou takes two steps into the room and stops, clapping a hand over his nose. “Ugh, what stinks like Deku in here?”
"Good afternoon, Bakugou. That would be the amortentia."
I must admit, not a fan of HP, but majjale...TT_TT majjale writes these two boys so well. This one is really, really good!
Cherish Me - Justaperson1718 (2376 words)
Summary: “What?”
Izuku looked back down at his menu and flipped the page, a small smile on his face. “Nothing.”
Katsuki glared at Izuku from across the table. “If it was nothing then you wouldn’t be staring at me.”
“It’s just a little funny watching you try to look your best for our date when you always look great anyway,” Izuku explained. He wouldn’t look up from his menu while he spoke, but his words remained ingrained with confidence nevertheless. He considered what he was saying to be fact, and nothing else. “Even when you’re not trying in front of the cameras, it’s still hard to take my eyes off of you.”
This is a sequel to a fic that’ll be in the next section, because it’s longer, called Manage Me. Please read that one first before this one! (Not part of a series, but they’re the same story line)
Fascinating - Justaperson1718 (1556 words)
Summary: “I’m not staring at you,” Izuku replied, his eyes focused intently on Katsuki. He’s still wearing his pajamas, sitting on his knees in their shared bed. He was awake moments before Katsuki, and waited eagerly for the other to awake.
Katsuki glanced over his shoulder after his shirt was on and glared. “You’re fucking staring at me right now.”
Izuku shook his head, humming his disapproval quietly. “I’m watching you.”
“That’s the same damn thing,” Katsuki said while searching for a pair of pants in the dresser. “Your eyes are fixated on me like I’m your life’s fucking goal or some shit.”
“I just like watching you get dressed.” Izuku tilted his head to the side and smiled softly at Katsuki’s confused stare. “I know, it’s weird. But I like it.”
*There is a little bit of implied mature content, but overall, it’s just so sweet and intimate, and I just simply adore this one.
in a place once filled with gold - dorenamryn (9226 words)
Summary: It felt strange to remember such details, for they were things a friend should know, and as far as Katsuki was concerned, he and Deku hadn’t been friends in a very, very long time. He could admit, with reluctance, that they were on the path there, now, even though they would never make it. Katsuki would die before they could get the chance.
or: There is a garden growing in Katsuki’s lungs, and he is helpless to stop it.
“Hanahaki disease” okay, I can explain myself. Okay, I can’t. In any case, you got angst with a happy ending if that’s what you’re into!
Kaleidoscope - DPRenFTW (5141 words)
Summary: Izuku is a witch. He just needs to find his familiar. Enter a boy that is a wolf, and a wolf that is a boy - with wild red eyes and sharp smiles.
And Izuku thinks:
"Oh, it's him."
Just as beautiful and fascinating as the name implies! I seriously recommend for the beautiful writing, the gorgeous world, the mythical creatures au, and the lovely bakudeku romance!
Learning Curve - sensiblysilly (4222 words)
Summary: Deku and Katsuki’s first kiss goes rather differently than planned.
And Katsuki’s quickly learning that relationships can be unpredictable - especially when taking into account the variable that is Midoriya Izuku.
This really is just a careful handling of a teenage romance where perhaps one of them may have shit they’re still working through. It’s really sweet, and a careful study at boundaries and the building of a relationship. I actually stumbled across this while looking for another with the same name and ended up pleasantly surprised. Kacchan can has a little validation, as a treat.
4/20 is a national holiday - Ereri_Garbage (
Summary: Izuku is a drug dealer that doesn't really accept the fact he's a drug dealer, Katsuki is hot as hell as shouldn't be allowed a facebook.
Happy (Late) birthday Katsuki and happy (late) 4/20. I actually half assed an edit on this one so it took longer to post than I thought it would.
Uummmm lmao yes I have a sense of humor. ;ALDSKJFLSKDJF Okay, I say that, but this is not a crack fic, it’s a good story that I enjoy with good writing, and *it has mature, content, obviously for multiple reasons here. It’s rated as mature but there are borderline explicit moments imo. It’s a fun fic and funny, too! And, ngl, it really does remind me of college... But forget about me, the bakudeku is wonderful too of course :)
Drinking Watermelon - warschach (8906 words)
Summary: For whatever reason, maybe divine fate, Izuku turned and looked over his shoulder and waved to them.
Katsuki’s heart full on stopped right then, and his fingers forgot their duty on the rails, and his body neglected its job to keep Katsuki balanced.
Izuku’s summer sweet smile fell into concern as Katsuki went airborne and cracked his skull on the porch.
or Katsuki works as a camp counselor, and Izuku is a boy made of summer heat and sunlight.
Love it when people have Bakugou as absolutely enamored with Midoriya; it’s so good and true. Anyways this one makes me like summer camp story lines. It’s funny and also cute and great writing! *It’s got explicit content, just a heads up. Warschach stories just have this youthful 80′s vibe, I don’t know how else to explain it.
there are listed buildings - semiautomatichearts (3309)
Summary: Katsuki first sees colors bloom when he is only three years old. It is timid Izuku, hiding behind the cover of his mother's leg who looks upon him with wide eyes, and Katsuki's world explodes in shades of greens and pinks and blues, and he is so startled, he begins to cry.
His life is then on defined in color, in shades his peers can't see, by the forlorn, timid stare in Izuku's eyes that always lets off more than he is willing to tell. There is a schism driven between himself and his fated other, and Katsuki strives to be better than fate, better than what is defined for him. He is more than the written pages of a book, to be cracked open and read by the gods.
He wonders if it is possible for colors to bloom for someone who will never love you back.
Ah...soulmates :) So interesting how bakudeku fits into soulmate aus like this one when they’ve known each other as kids! And when they’ve had this complex push and pull thing going on all their lives! The writing is beautiful, and so is the story!
Promise Ring - bkdkwritingsdump (3579)
Summary: The midwest in the 1950′s is no place for boys who like kissing boys: something Izuku and Katsuki know all too well growing up there. However, the undeniable bond between the nervous science geek and the aloof delinquent will still find a way to blossom in such a desert.
Cute, sweet, makes my gay heart ache. Longing not just for the one you love, but just to feel right loving them. Very pretty story line, lovely story telling!
Fics 10k - 30k:
Fishy - warschach (19417 words)
Summary: Izuku’s convinced his hot co-worker/neighbor, Katsuki, is a mermaid-or merman- you gotta consider genders even with mythical creatures- and plans to prove it.
(or this is kinda like the show ‘Monster Quest’, except Izuku actually finds said monster, falls in love, and have sexy times.)
Another warschach! I love this one, I love how they write bakudeku, particularly as college students, their stories (at least, the ones that I’ve read) always feel so warm, like a summer’s day, but not a lazy one, one that’s playful? If that makes sense? *This one is explicit, another heads up!
Manage Me - Justaperson1718 (10756 words)
Summary: Izuku caught himself moving forward, his head tilted somewhat to the side, and his eyes shot wide open. His gaze met Katsuki’s half-lidded eyes now that he was no longer in a dreamlike state, and seeing the way Katsuki was looking at him—waiting for him—made him realize Katsuki would’ve let him do it. He might have even wanted him to do it.
“You’re both doing fabulous!” the photographer called out to them, packing his camera into his bag and getting ready to leave. “I just got word that what we have now should be good, so we’ll stop there. Thank you for your time! Lock the door on your way out after you change.”
The pair stayed frozen in place, with Izuku’s arms around Katsuki’s neck and Katsuki’s hands resting on Izuku’s waist, while the photographer and his supervisor left.
“Kacchan,” Izuku cooed once they were gone. “Did you want to…?”
Love the story, love the bakudeku! Very, very good bakudeku TT_TT very sweet *There is some mature content in here as well
point to a map (we’ve been there) - cosmicfuss (10589 words)
Summary: Serendipity / sĕr″ən-dĭp′ĭ-tē Serendipity is the occurrence of an unplanned fortunate discovery. Two men find themselves on a subway, hot coffee on one while the other is in the middle of a screaming match. After that they can't seem to stop finding each other, no matter how far they go.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; this fic owns my entire soul. I love the story, the ease of their relationship, just how lovely they are together. It’s another kind of nice, fluffy fic you’d read on a bad day where you come home and curl up in a blanket and listen to a ten hour video of thunderstorm white noise. *Again, some more mature content in here
Partners - tsukithewolf (13619 words) Another series! Two parts to this one this time
Summary: It is said that in Musutafu there is a charm that one can buy at a temple that will lead you to your destined partner. They say that if the charm works, you would be able to follow the red string of fate to the person you were meant to be with. And if the person returns your feelings, they would be able to see the string as well, proving that both were meant to be.
Three-year-old Katsuki and Izuku misunderstand what the word "partner" means and discover the charm and the rumor behind it is not only true, but more than expected.
Gets a little heavy, depression, bullying, suicidal thoughts, etc. But it must get worse before it gets better, that kind of thing. I also just adore the second part (called Bond) - maybe because it’s much fluffier, what about it?
Learning Curve - iknewaman (10304 words)
Summary: “Izuku.” Uraraka repeats as she motions at the person stood next to her. Green curls, average height, and, well. Up close, not such a bad smile. Uraraka points a thumb at Bakugou and enunciates slowly, “This is Bakugou. He can speak sign language too.”
Wait. Sign language?
The stranger— well, Izuku— looks at him with a raised brow. Their free hand lifts up as they make a slight motion of the hand.‘
Really?’
*
Bored out of his mind at a house party one night Bakugou is introduced to Izuku, a deaf student who offers to help teach Bakugou sign language in exchange for a favour-- or well, is prompted into asking for a favour.
Ah, I really want to explain this one a little bit? I’d never been into fanfiction ever, only really getting into it with these boys. This was the second one I read, I remember, and it caught me off guard, and it intrigued me. It really surprised me as to what fanfiction could be. Ngl I had biased perceptions of fanfics - I used to be one of those people who thought fanfiction could never be good writing - and this one slapped me in the face with it’s subtle beauty and creative story and heart melting capabilities, and very, very real relationship and growth. Anyways it’s so cute how happy Deku is to teach Kacchan sign language TT_TT Make sure to read the tags!
The Keeper and the Sun God’s Heir - SurelyHeavenWaits (12746 words)
Summary: The Titans' have stolen something important from Izuku, heir of the Sun God, and he wants it back.
This one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one this one- Oh my god this one. Okay so what, I was a Percy Jackson kid, what about it? I love the mythical aus, particularly the god ones. But beyond that, the writing is so beautiful, just like the world, and the imagery. The bakudeku...absolutely stunning. The story itself? Incredible. Cannot recommend more. *There is explicit content in this, though I will say, it’s all in the last chapter, and all of the story is in the first two chapters. There’s also a second part as it’s a series and it’s short but it’s cute and sweet TT_TT
seven days - aaAAAaaahhhhHHHHH (10094 words)
Summary: There’s something about the green haired boy, an aura that just drew Katsuki in before he even knew his name.
[Sometimes your mind forgets, but your heart remembers]
Heed my warning: DON’T read this in front of other people. I bawl every time I read this one TT_TT I know I said I don’t like angst but AJLSKDFJALSKDFJ it has a hopeful ending! I mean yeah you’re gonna cry but...hope? :’) (that username really says it all tbh)
Fics 30k+
Notice me, nerd - useless_donut (40000 words)
Summary: Bakugou is in love with Midoriya. He doesn’t hide it, in fact it’s so painfully obvious that the entire class of 3-A has him figured out in a matter of months (days, in some cases). Too bad Midoriya is the most oblivious motherfucker out there, and Bakugou is too damn stubborn to actually ask him out.
Will the class of 3-A survive the sexual tension? Who will snap first? Someone put Bakugou out of his misery, please, before everyone else dies of second-hand embarrassment.
(a love story as witnessed by the class of 3-A)
Love the idea of Bakugou being brazen and brash, cause yeah, he is. So fucking funny though how that translates to him flirting. Gotta say, thought I was gonna cringe, but his “I’m gay af” outfit really ended up being A Look. Love the mutual pining, it really is strong in this one. *Okay, mature content in this one lads.
While You Were Sleeping - Belkacaramelka (71197 words)
Summary: The one where quirkless fanboy Midoriya Izuku rescues Pro Hero Todoroki Shouto, gets mistaken as his fiancé while he is in a coma, and gets caught up in the most unlikely fake engagement... until his childhood enemy and Todoroki's classmate Bakugou Katsuki tries to catch him out, and they both end up discovering a lot more about each other than they'd expected.
Quirkless AU based on the film; endgame BakuDeku. -- Katsuki didn’t know when the change had happened: how he had gone from asking why Todoroki chose Deku of all people, to wondering why it was Todoroki that Deku chose. Troublesome Deku, who cooed like an idiot at cats, tripped at a random catcall and sang badly. Who, despite everything, proved that it wasn’t the quirk that defined a person. Deku, who was too much, not his, and undeniably off limits to begin with.
Update: Epilogue added
*This one has mature content. If you can, please, for the love of god, read this fic. It’s like, tied with my favorite bkdk fic perhaps ever. It’s based on the movie of the same title, a nineties romcom with Sandra Bullock, but Belkacaramelka has so effortlessly made it into it’s own story, fit it so perfectly inside of the bnha world. I definitely stayed up until 6:30am reading this one. It’s got such good badass Midoriya, who is also sweet, and really really good reconciliation between bakudeku.
All Gifted - fitzefitcher (39129 words)
Summary: The thing about gifts is that they're meant to be given, they're meant to be shared; so Izuku will take his gifts, so freely given to him, and share them with all he holds dear.
Izuku is born without any gifts, as his kind often are, to a witch mother and salamander father, on one sweltering night in July.
This one is unfinished...and I highly doubt it will ever be. But what has been written is incredible. Once again, I’m a sucker for the magic/mythical creatures aus. But the relationship is great! The characterization is great! The found family trope that was building up is great!
under a hollow sun - umbrage (40572 words)
Summary: Midoriya is cursed with emptiness.
Misfortune leads him to a man of ancient magic and endless rage.
To stop an unfathomable evil, their mismatched halves must become whole.
Uuuggghhhh this was so good! I don’t think it’s going to be finished either :( Once again, fantasy au, more amazing writing, on point characterization, incredible pacing, makes you hungry for more story.
all the savage soul requires - majjale (58032 words)
Summary: Bakugou seems to have exhausted his patience for words and no longer acknowledges that Midoriya exists, so Midoriya crosses his legs, stares down at his hands limned in firelight, and makes a list of things he knows.
One. His name is Midoriya Izuku.
Two. He is a Godmarked, future god of life, heir to the divine throne.
Three. The gods have been fighting Death for eons, and now he's coming for recompense with everything he’s got.
This is majjale, so of course, the writing is more than beautiful; it’s absolutely breathtaking. This may be my favorite fic ever - unfortunately I don’t think it will ever be finished either TT_TT There’s the gods/fantasy au, which you know by now I love. But the characterization of our two boys is absolutely perfect, and I mean that as literally as possible. And the story being crafted between the two, the memory loss, the obvious history muddled by it all, it was so dense, and the PINING, so incredibly written, flowing so naturally. It wasn’t even close to being done, but it was wonderful, still is wonderful.
My Writing: (You can skip this if you hate shameless self promotion)
You’re too damn flicking cute (1815 words)
Summary: Bakugou is certain his shitty boyfriend is instigating kisses. Maybe it doesn't help that he keeps giving them away like it's a damn going out of business sale, but the stupid nerd is too fucking cute. Either way, like everything else, this is a competition, and he's going to win it.
Please don’t read this unless you’re going to the dentist afterwards! I’ve been told it’s so sweet it’ll give you instant cavities >_>;;;;
Bakugou Katsuki, you smooth motherfucker (10118 words)
Summary: Everyone around him knows that Bakugou Katsuki has a very special way with words. To the untrained ear he is loud and crass; to those that speak Kacchan, he is caring and inspiring. Yet there are rare moments, moments so fleeting you blink and you miss them, where Bakugou’s words pierce straight through Midoriya’s chest, and surprise everyone around him.
Goddammit, if only he would say them to Midoriya’s face.
Or, the five times Bakugou said something nice about Midoriya, and the one time he said something kind to him (but that was too long of a title).
I think most would consider this my best published fic; it’s one of those snapshot fics, “the five times where x did this, and the one time where they didn’t.” The recurring comment I get on this one is both of them being super in character, so I think that’s it’s defining characteristic! Bakugou and Midoriya have never known a life without the other, and in a perfect world, they never will.
Here, let me fix that (11247 words)
Summary: Bakugou honestly never thought he’d see Deku ever again. And now that they were together in this tiny compartment, alone for the next two and a half minutes, he had no clue what to say. He’d just apologized, right? So perhaps he could leave it at that and carry on with the original plan to never see the green-haired man that reminded him of dense forests, late night adventures, and tear-stained faces, ever again.
Ha! Who is he kidding? These bitches are soulmates.
I’ve gotten some critiques on this one, so sorry in advance if it’s not to your liking! Basically, what if Midoriya never got his quirk? Obviously, life would find a way to put them together because, as previously stated, these bitches are soulmates.
Plenty of Time (16654 words)
Summary: Bakugou found what little sleep he got restless and filled with nightmares that he forgot the second he opened his eyes. Tonight was the first time in a long time where he just had a normal dream - and it happened to be about Deku.
How fucking typical.
In other words, two dorks realize they have feelings for each other but don't know what to do about said feelings.
Ah, my first fic. Very simple, boys being boys, kinda like a slow burn? Idk how to explain this one, just boys figuring out their feelings and trying to figure out what to do about them. Been told these two are a little stupid but I think that’s valid.
We’re all time bombs waiting to explode (39223 words)
Summary: We have now entered the slipstream of time, into an alternate dimension where it neither is, nor isn’t, the 80’s. Two teenagers, burdened with the weight of adolescence in the modern world, find themselves struggling side by side, in part because of each other.
Bakugou, the most popular boy in school, has everything he could possibly want; status, power, and an unbreakable will. Having been dragged along behind him all the way to the top, Midoriya can’t help but wonder how (and why) he ended up standing beside his childhood friend-turned bully-turned friend again, weighed down by their complicated past and present. As the tension between them grows every day, and the arrival of a new, pretty face causes it to peak, it won’t be long before something - or someone - snaps.
I am...very bad at titles, and summaries apparently. This was my Heathers au, but it very quickly diverges from the original (I don’t do sad endings....) *This one has mature content, including implied sexual activity, drug use, and underage drinking, along with other heavy topics; please read the tags! Though tbh Midoriya is 17 for a couple weeks before it hits his birthday halfway through, so keep that in mind I guess? I kind of went heavy with this one, but I think the pay off was immense. This is the one with the most amount of comments stating it’s their favorite bkdk fic ever (and I cry). It’s a rough start, with a rough journey, but so is bakudeku! There’s a lot of petty drama, and then all of a sudden it’s Not That Petty and very much Far Too Real. Many have cried reading the ending, I cried writing it. My sister says it’s her favorite of mine. Now, I did kind of push this out without polishing it so much because I was losing my willpower, so if it feels lacking, that’s one hundred percent my fault.
Okay that was a lot! It took me a couple days...I hope I wasn’t too annoying with all my opinions! Please have a nice day. and enjoy some good reads, even if they aren’t the ones in this post!
#bakudeku#katsudeku#boku no hero academia#my hero academia#mha#bnha#bkdk#fics#my writing#god i really hope i didn't fuck up any of this#i spent a long time on it alksdjflaskjdflkasdjf#this is 39 fics without my own#and 44 including mine#i can tell i've forgotten some but#idk it's hard TT_TT#anyways it's 2:30am#if i go to bed at 4am one more time i'm gonna throw myself down a flight of stairs#i hope this is good enough as is!#most of this was written very late so I hope it doesn't sound...crazed

since it’s been confirmed that this is the last arc of the campaign (rip), this changes my fic writing plans!
some non-committal rambling ahead because i do this all for fun etc. but if you’re reading this then consider coming along for the journey (esp if you’re into shadowgast) i post pretty regularly and would love to talk to people about my fics and writing in general! <3
i have done exceptionally well at finishing all the fics i’ve started so far except one (a frumpkin fic) that i think i’ve just accepted is unlikely to ever hit its stride. still left on the roster are:
a couple more oneshots. i have one prepared for tomorrow already, another two concrete ideas, and i may pick up motivation here and there from the episodes still left to air, but the list is short and getting shorter
a longfic that was going to follow the next canon arc. tbh i fully expected them to go to rexxentrum and deal with trent and uhh idk what to do with this now! i’m not really interested in writing my own take on confronting trent but there are some ideas attached to this that i quite liked. i’ll have to see if i can rework this somehow or just .. let this go and hope for a possible oneshot in the future
an AU fic series (nein worlds) in the style of my nier 9 worlds series. this is my true, final goal for campaign 2 - i have thousands of worlds written already but i have been purposefully holding back for the end of the campaign because i wanted it to be “canon-compliant” to all the characters in their entirety and have good lasting power. i’m terrified the moment is arriving because it feels like all of the ideas i have are very long and hard to juggle with such a huge cast but i’m excited because, idk, i think 9 worlds is some of the best fanfiction i’ve ever written and i just want to take another stab at something like it
timeline-wise i’ll keep putting out weekly oneshots for at least another couple of weeks but then i plan to focus on nein worlds, even if the campaign is still going, and hopefully finish that up before campaign 3 starts and we get a whole new fresh cast. my plan is to start posting nein worlds once i have maybe half of the AUs done, so that might mean i disappear off of ao3 for a while but when i return i should have weeks, if not months, of buffer
of course something big may still happen before campaign end but tbh if this is the last arc i cannot imagine that any of the characters will go through something new that is completely character-defining before the end. we know who they are already - i was mostly really holding out to see how caleb would approach astrid/wulf again, but looks like we’re not getting that - and any shocking plot twists like deaths etc. don’t really need to carry through to AUs anyway
on the plus side the campaign ending soon means i can rest easy knowing that most of my shadowgast fics published so far can remain roughly canon-compliant - these are the small blessings that get me through the days of fic writing 🙏

Indecent Offerings: Part Two | An Agent Whiskey x Reader Fic
Gif: @javier-pena
Pairing: Jack Daniels/Agent Whiskey x Reader (no y/n)
Word Count: 2.6k
Rating: E | Warnings: NSFW – smut, explicit sexual content, dirty talk (this should be expected by now in my fics tbh), like 3 little pussy slaps, orgasm denial I guess, praise kink, implied but vague age gap (reader is of age, of course), language. 18+ only.
A/N: Idk babes, this shit nasty. I had to put the keep reading break before the first line. But it’s porn with feelings because I accidentally/subconsciously wrote Jack’s insecurity into part one and now I feel like I have to do something with it. And because open and honest discussions about sex are inherently sexy.
Read on AO3
My Masterlist
… . …
Indecent Offerings: Part Two
Once you get home, there’s no need for foreplay.
As soon as the door to his apartment is flung open, Jack walks you straight into the bedroom, kissing you hungrily and stripping your clothing off the entire way. He quickly dispenses with your blouse and bra and your skirt follows shortly after. He chuckles darkly against your lips as he palms the bare skin of your ass.
“No panties?” he questions playfully, “How mighty indecent of you darlin’.”
“I believe they’re still in your pocket, you devilish man,” you reply unabashed. You toe off your heels and fall back on the downy comforter, waiting for Jack to join you. Stretching your arms above your head, you arch your back off the bed, practically preening in hope of getting him to hurry up. The two of you have been lovers for more than a year now – partners for much longer than that – and you know just how to tempt him. What started out as a way to pass lonely nights on long missions, blossomed into something more over time, but your magnetic attraction and desperate desire for one another is stronger than ever. Some flames just can’t be put out.
You watch through hooded eyes as he stands above you, languidly loosening his necktie and uncuffing his sleeves. He takes his sweet time with each button of his dress shirt, smirking at you under that damn moustache all the while. You squirm under his gaze, longing to feel his hands and mouth and body on you once more.
“What do you need now, sweetheart?” he asks, noticing your impatience.
“I need you inside me.” You huff out a sigh and pout at him. “You promised you were going to fuck me, Jack.”
“Oh, I remember–” he unbuckles his belt with a little more force than necessary, and you relish the dark glint to his deep brown eyes. “–and I am nothing if not a man of my word.”
Finally shucking off his trousers and briefs, he runs his finger up and down your bare legs, sending a chill down your spine, before crawling up your body to lie next to you. He gathers you in his arms, tenderly kissing you as his hands stroke your supple skin. His actions are so soft and sweet and slow you almost forget the promise he made to you back at the office.
I’m going to take you home now and fuck you until you remember exactly who that pussy belongs to.
Jack Daniels doesn’t make idle threats.
Roughly grabbing your hip, he turns you away from him before crushing you against his chest. You love it when he handles you like this – alternating between delicate caresses and dangerous touches. You know things have definitely shifted when he replaces the open mouth kisses on the column of your throat with a coltish bite, his teeth sinking into the flesh of your neck. Already flaunting a splattering of purple bruises from where he marked you earlier that night, the exquisite mix of pain and pleasure as he nips at your tender skin has you writhing against him. An unbearable heat pools in your core and you press your legs together in a feeble attempt to create some sort of friction where you need it the most. You reach down to touch yourself, hoping to alleviate some of the pressure, but Jack bats your hand away.
“I don’t think so,” he scolds, his voice a low rumble in his chest. “Insatiable thing, aren’t you?” With a firm hand on your thigh, he drapes your leg over his hip and opens you to him. The position alone stirs something in you – it’s intimate yet exposing, almost primal. “Look at that. You’re so fucking wet down there already I can see it from here.”
You whimper at his lewd words. “I need you, Jack.”
“I know, pretty baby. I’m going to give you everything you need.”
Reaching a hand between your bodies, he lines himself at your entrance and then, finally, he stuffs you with his cock. You’ve been waiting all night for this exact moment. Jack fills you like no other man ever could, his thick length stretching you deliciously. After giving you a generous moment to adjust to his size, he wraps one arm around your waist, the other still holding your leg open, and starts pounding into you, easily sliding into your slick cunt from behind.
“Fuck– So hot and wet and tight,” Jack growls, “You feel so fucking good on my dick, baby.”
With a shameless moan, you throw one arm behind you and around his neck, pulling him impossibly closer. As he pumps into you, he hits a spot that sends a slow burning fire from your belly to your toes. You look down to where he’s entering you, threatening to split you in two. It’s dizzying, but still you ask for–
“More!”
He speeds up, setting a fast pace as he pistons his hips against you, and you gasp for breath, feeling like he’s somehow pushing all the air from your lungs on each thrust. Behind you, Jack’s grunting and panting, his warm breath fanning out across your skin as he nuzzles into your neck just below your ear. He’s fucking you with vigor now.
“Oh Jack, please,” you whine, only half cognizant of what you might be asking for.
“Please what, baby?” He bites at your neck again before soothing the red mark with his tongue, drawing another moan from deep within you. In your haze of arousal, you almost forget what he asked you. “Tell me what you want?
“P– Please can I– Can I cum?” you struggle to ask, your eyes rolling back and your mouth falling agape. This is one of those times where you just know you need his blessing. More than that, you want him to give it to you. You want to be good for him.
“Do you think–” he grunts out in between thrusts, “–You deserve that?”
“Yes, please,” you beg.
“I don’t think so. Not yet.” He slaps your pussy, a wet squelch filling the room.
“Fuck– Oh god!” you shout deliriously, your nails digging into the flesh of his neck where you grip him.
“Tell me who this cunt belongs to.” He slaps you again, hitting your throbbing clit perfectly and coaxing a wanton cry from your lips. As your arousal reaches its crest, you tighten around him and a heady groan escapes him.
“You, Jack!” you answer breathlessly, “Only you.”
“That’s right.” He rewards you with another smack. “This is my fucking pussy, baby.”
“I’m all yours,” you babble, choking back a sob, “Forever.” There was something about the way he claims you that felt different; it’s absolutely overwhelming and you can’t help your pathetically quick short breaths as he rails into you. That last time he left his fingers on your sensitive nub, and now he rubs at it with just enough pressure to bring you to the edge – but not past it. Your head lolls forward as a wave of pleasure rips through you.
“No, sweetheart, look at me. I wanna see your pretty face while you cum on this cock.
“Oh,” you mewl as you turn to face him, locking eyes with his soft brown ones. It takes every ounce of self-control you have not to cum right then. “J- Jack.”
“I know, baby. You ready to cum now?”
“Yes!” you shout. You grip his cock even tighter as you falter on the precipice.
“Be a good girl – God this pussy is so fucking tight – and cum for me. Cum all over me.”
Succumbing to the pleasure, you cum hard, a blinding white light blurring your vision even behind your closed eyes. For a moment you can’t even breathe, the force of your orgasm leaving you unable to even draw air into your lungs. You pussy pulsates around his hardness as you cum, and Jack’s pace stutters. He tightens his hold on your hips as he lifts your limp body, rolling onto his back so that you lie over him, and resumes pounding up into you, somehow filling you even more. You feel him stiffen inside you as his momentum ebbs. “Where baby?” he asks through gritted teeth.
“Inside. Want your cum inside me.”
“That’s my good girl – letting me fill this pussy.” Your name tumbles from his lips on his final thrust as he paints your cunt with his spend.
The two of you lie like that for some time, completely sated and neither one able to move as you try to steady your ragged breaths. Your body rises with Jack’s inhalations and with every exhalation of your own, you feel yourself sink further into him, as if the two of you were really one. He runs his hands across your sides, reverently caressing your dewy skin slick with sweat from your exertions. As he holds you, you feel absolutely radiant.
When he does shift and his softening cock slips out of you, you feel his cum leak from your cunt, dripping down the apex of your thighs. Reluctantly, you roll off him and jump out of bed, scurrying into the bathroom to clean yourself up. You return for a moment to help him clean up too. It fills your heart to be able to tend to him even half as well as he takes care of you. When you crawl back into bed, you place a chaste kiss on his lips as he covers the two of you and nestle comfortably into his side.
But you know something is wrong when he’s quiet. Even after sex, the man is usually as talkative as ever. And by the rise and fall of his chest, you know he’s not sleeping.
“What’s wrong?” you inquire, peering up at him.
“Nothing, sweetheart.”
You hum disapprovingly. “Don’t lie to me, Jack Daniels.”
He huffs out a humorless laugh before looking at you. Even in the low light you can see the worry written all over his face.
“You know I love you, right?” He waits until you nod to continue. “Well, sometimes I still wonder if you wouldn’t be happier with someone else. Someone younger, someone like...”
“Like Cognac?” you supply. When he doesn’t respond, you have your answer. “Jack– Earlier tonight, with him? That was just sex. You should know that.”
“Maybe not him, exactly, but you know what I mean.”
You sit up, holding the bedsheet to your chest as you prop yourself up with one arm, wanting to look directly at him. “No. I don’t know what you mean. It’s not like we haven’t done things like that before. You weren’t jealous then. Why is this bothering you now?”
“I’m not jealous,” he scoffs, and you raise your brows at him. “I just– I don’t know, I guess I’ve been feeling my age lately and sometimes I look at you and I wonder what the hell you’re doing with a man like me.” He doesn’t look at you when he says this. Instead his somber eyes follow the path of his touch as he pensively trails his fingers up the bare skin of your arm, across the curve of your shoulder, and along your collarbone.
With a gentle hand, you tilt his chin up so that he’s forced to meet your gaze. “You’re a smart man, but I think your Stetson must be too tight. It’s cutting off the blood flow to your brain or something.” You lightly tap his forehead with the tip of your index finger before pushing his hair off his face. That earns a genuine laugh from him. “I love you, Jack, with all my heart. And no one could ever make me feel as loved, cherished, and happy, as you do every damn day.” You pause to let your words sink in. “Do you believe me when I say that?”
“Yes,” he says, choking on the single syllable.
“Good. Now, I have a proposition for you, cowboy.”
“What’s that, darlin’?”
“From now on, it’s just me and you.”
“Baby, I’m not trying to restrict you–”
“You wouldn’t be,” you say firmly, “You know I’m not one to do anything I don’t want to.” He actually rolls his eyes at that, knowing firsthand just how stubborn and determined you can be when you feel like it. For once, it actually makes you feel better. “We would just be furthering our commitment to each other,” you continue a bit more seriously, “Let’s be honest, when we started this, it was just about the sex. But look at us now: we live together, we’re in love. This–” you gesture in between the two of you, “–is evolving. And I’m so happy with where it’s going.”
“Me too,” he assures you. He takes your hand in his and gives it a light squeeze.
“You’re my partner, in every sense of the word. I want to be yours and only yours, Jack.”
A deep sigh escapes him, but you can see some of the tension in his body unwind. “Maybe I do just want you all to myself,” he murmurs before pressing his lips to yours.
“You know, all of that was fun tonight, but at the end of the day, this is the best part. Just being with you. You’re all I ever need.”
He quietly considers your words and you watch his mind work behind his dark eyes before making a decision. “I feel the same way. But I don’t want to rule anything out completely – I love exploring these things with you. I never want to tame you, darlin’.”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” you promise him with a light laugh. “But no matter what we decide, I do think it’s good that we check in with each other like this from time to time.” He nods and you happily consider the matter settled. Peeking at him through your lashes, coyly shy, you add, “And either way, there’s so much more we can explore together. I have a few ideas to start.”
“I expect a full report on my desk first thing tomorrow, Agent Rosé.” The two of you burst out into a fit of easy laughter and you know in your heart that whatever was troubling Jack has passed. His expression softens as he gazes at you. “How do you always know what I need to hear?”
“Because I was made for you and you were made for me. We take care of each other, always.”
“You know one of these days I’m going to have to make you my wife,” Jack says with a lopsided grin. You know that’s a huge step for him considering his past.
“I can’t wait,” you answer earnestly with a wide smile of your own.
“Good girl. Now,” he starts. He looks at you with beseeching eyes as he brings your hand he’d been holding to his cock where you find he’s already hard again. “You think you got another round in you?”
“Jesus fucking Christ, Jack,” you laugh as he maneuvers you so that you’re straddling his hips, “Getting old my ass.”

Ask a writer
I wasn’t tagged but I was bored so.
1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?
This question gets asked so much. I’m short, cajun, a woman. I might be a “writer” but I’m not good at naming things.
2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (comments, visitor hits, kudos)
Comments: 262 for This Love (Teen Wolf)
Hits: 1548 for Come over here & make me (Teen Wolf)
Kudos: 113 for Reflections (FMAB)
3. What is your FFnNet/AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?
Jester from CR, just because I love her
4. Do you have any regular/favorite commenters?
@breakthestrutura is probably the only regular over multiple fics. This Love used to get regulars but I finished that fic in 2017, and I haven’t posted a fic in over 2 years so nothing is regular lately.
5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?
I’ve beta’d for @breakthestrutura some and reread her stranger things fics and atla/fma fics she’s gifted me. I know I’ve read fics I’ve liked, but I rarely save them and rarely reread anything. I really don’t read fanfic much, not sure why, probably because I want to read very specific things, and they don’t exist so.
6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?
Subscribed: 3
Bookmarked: 18, but I mostly use it as a to-read list, but I never read them
7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?
Canon divergence. Not that into AUs tho.
8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)
Subscribed: 24
Bookmarks: 109
9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)
idk, not really? Sometimes I don’t feel talented enough to do my ideas justice and it keeps me from getting started.
10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.
Everything really. Mostly I wish I could get myself to write anything at all at this point.
11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?
Popular ships because like 95% of the time I ship canon or what I’m very sure will become canon. But I’ve done a few rarepairs.
12. How many stories have you posted on FFNet/AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?
32 fics. Only 1 of those is a chapter fic.
13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?
At least 20 (but probably more) unfinished ones. I never finish anything.
14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?
I write down a page length summary of the whole story most of the time, if I remember to, but sometimes they just live in my head. I’ve had an idea for like 3 years and for some reason I just keep forgetting to write down a summary. But I think about it so often that forgetting hasn’t been an issue so far.
15. Have you ever co-authored a story?
I haven’t.
16. How did you discover FFNet/AO3?
Don’t remember. I think I made friends with some authors and probably clicked a link to their stories and then thought hey I should try that too. I also know I was resistant to ao3 for the longest time, not sure why, and now I don’t ever go on FF unless it’s to look at my account.
17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on FFNet/AO3?
No, you actually have to write things to get popular.
18. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?
Plot it out, probably too much. But most of the basics of my stories come to me right away and I can’t really help that. Not that I want to. I like knowing where my story is going.
19. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?
Not many. And they were more annoying than outright mean. Most were for This Love - people who thought I was going to write Malia to be an asshole and/or not including her in the story enough, or worried I was going to put Stiles with the girl they didn’t like. Stuff like that. I wanted them to keep reading, so I tried to put some of their minds at ease so they would eventually realize their assumptions were wrong.
20. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)
Transitional scenes, where nothing that interesting is happening but just getting to the next big scene. And yeah, smut, I feel so awkward. I’m too ace for that.
21. What story(s) are you working on now?
At the beginning of this quarantine I actually got myself to write a bit, almost every night for like 2 weeks. It’s just a Matt Murdock/Jessica Jones thing that I’ll never finish. But it was nice while it lasted.
22. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?
Like I said, I never finish anything, so I’m always moving on to a new thing.
23. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?
Of course not, or I would’ve posted something in the last 2 years.
24. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?
Sometimes I feel like I’ve gotten worse, since I’m so out of practice. But I’ve been writing stories since I was a little kid so I’ve definitely improved since those days of course.
25. What is your favorite story(s) that you’ve written?
This Love since it’s my only chapter fic and somehow I managed to finish it, even when it seemed like I never would. I'm just proud I finished it tbh. I like a lot of my others but also this feels like a weird question - I don’t think of my stories as amazing or anything, they just have plots i’m interested in.
26. What is your least favorite story(s) that you’ve written?
Idk, some of my Teen Wolf drabbles, I guess. Like, they’re fine.
27. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?
I’d like to get myself to actually commit to trying to write a book (yeah, not even writing a book, but getting myself to even TRY). But I probably won’t. If not that then I hope I pick up writing fic again at least.
28. What is the easiest thing about writing?
Ideas and plotting. Yeah, sometimes I get stuck on the how or small details but like I said, stories come to me mostly fully formed.
29. What is the hardest thing about writing?
The getting myself to actually sit down and write part.
30. Why do you write?
I’ve always loved writing stories, from a pretty early age, and I don’t know where that comes from but it feels like it’s always been there. I also have things I want to read, so I have to write them to make them exist. That’s it really. If other people like them too then that’s just a bonus.

For the fanfic end of the year asks! 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29!!!!!💖💕💋
y’all just wanted every single ask, am i right?
1. favorite fic you wrote this year?
lion's den (with fallow dear) blew my mind y’all. I couldn’t believe I had written something that pretty.
3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year
This is a hard one, tbh. But probably something like “No, darling, like the poison.” In LD(WFD) or "Did you know your mom is a dummy? She was getting worried sick thinking that we wouldn't love you." in EN(WY).
4. total number of words you wrote this year
Oof, I don’t know exactly cause this is not everything I’ve written this year but on my AO3 there are 126,565 words. Which is excessive, if you ask me.
5. most popular fic this year
The A Experience. God Damn guys, it’s amazing to think that that is the second most read/liked fic on AO3, thank you so damn much. (I know hate it TBH, my writing has evolved so much and I’m so thankful.)
7. longest completed fic you wrote this year
Again, The A Experience. It was 50,612 words long, which is a full-length novel. Mindblowing. (Let's take a moment to appreciate my wonderful beta @riveter-rose who edited and helped me through finishing that ish)
8. shortest completed fic you wrote this year
if the world comes crumbling down, which is a very short and very angsty fic.
9. longest wip of the year
In the Arms of Life and Death, which I haven’t been able to complete because I am a fucken wimp and I don’t want to write the death scene. That WIP is currently 8771 words long.
But! when the next chapter of lion's den (with fallow dear) is up (a chapter which is over 9k long) that will be my longest WIP.
10. shortest wip of the year
timor super summum, which is currently 2638 words long and will probably get the next chapter sometime around Maylor week. (You just have to guess what the prompt will be.)
11. fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year
Queen.... I haven’t written for any other fandom in the last year....
12. favorite character to write about this year
Brian or Roger... maybe even Freddie but he is way to hard to write without me feeling like I’m not doing him justice. (I don’t like writing John because I’m just like him and I feel unnerved)
13. favorite writing song/artist/album of this year
well, anything sad really. But some of my favs were King Princess, Morat, Shakira, Demi Lovato (Sober is the inspo for half my fics tbh) and tons (and I do mean tons) of movie soundtracks.
14. a fic you didn’t expect to write
Whisper on a star chase, just because I had SO many doubts of whether it would be well received or if it would just be flocked by paedophiles which... yuck.
15. something you learned this year
idk bro... just dont drink and write i guess. it makes for shitty grammar and weird stories.
16. fic(s) you completed this year
The A Experience, foehn winds (which I JUST finished), everything is nothing (without you), put your hand in mine, call me when it’s over (and myself has reappeared), hey ho (here he goes).
17. fics you’ll continue next year
Everything which is currently in progress, I promise.
18. current number of wips
God, I don’t know, but the number is something around 21, which is daunting.
19. any new fics to start next year
yah, but they are a surprise.
21. most memorable comment/review
for some reason, I keep these two comments very close to my heart and re-read them every so often.
22. events you participated in this year
I tried to participate in everything, including Deacury week but the timing was awful for me because of exams. But don’t worry I will submit something for Deacury week sooner or later. It’s better late than never, right?
23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t
I have them saved up for the special occasion in which I get the inspiration to finish them, so I don’t want to spoil it for y’all
24. favorite fic you read this year
Read my last ask for the list!
26. number of favorites/bookmarks you made this year
honestly boo? I often forget to do that cause im a mess, so the number should be higher but for the moment it is 47
28. longest fic you read this year
“Some Day, One Day” by @emmaandorlando
29. shortest fic you read this year
I don’t know honestly.
☀︎☾
Thank you so much for prying into my life annon! I hope I was interesting enough!!!!

If you don't mind answering, what is happening with fanfic writers and triggers in this fandom..? I saw a lot of people talk on twitter but I didn't understand what ia going on :/ (P.a)
Okay. So. I’m going to give this the sparknotes summary treatment because it’s already dying down from what I can tell (thankfully!) and I’d rather not give it any more chance to stir back up. But also I want to give my experience of it since it all turned into a LOT of he said she said by the end and idk what you ended up hearing.
((TW for brief mentions of r*pe/*ncest in fic)) (also putting it under a cut because it’s discourse ramble I’m sure a lot of people are pretty over at this point, so I’ll spare y’all the wall of text!)
Long story short: A fic collection was created on AO3 called “SH Don’t Like, Don’t Read”, a space for people to post anything, anonymously if they’d like, so long as it’s properly tagged and warned against. The first fic posted was a Jalec noncon fuck-or-die scenario and - surprise - it didn’t go over well with the fandom at large. People who didn’t even READ the fic made accusations against it and the author which were entirely not true. And because it got attention, it turned into a lot of people yelling about how anyone who writes r*pe or *ncest should just be blocked/banned/reported, and all fic of that nature should be taken down and banned as well. I, along with some others in the fandom, defended the fact that if something is properly tagged so the people who would be hurt by it can avoid it, no writing should be censored in that way, period. A simple matter of “I may not like what you have to say, but I’ll fight for your right to say it”. I don’t write any of the things in question and I never will by my own choice (no worries there for anyone concerned over what content might pop up on my own account, I promise!). But I would never dare to tell someone not to write it. I just see those tags and leave, end of story.
(side tangent: to those who disagree with that, I’d like to bring up the fact that these are plots that exist in a LOT of media. I don’t see anyone calling for a ban on anyone who ever watched and enjoyed an episode of Game of Thrones, where both of those themes are present and touched on multiple times. This is literally that. If these people blocked everyone who watched GoT as problematic they’d live in a real small world.)
Anyway. Drama. Suddenly things escalated somehow from that simple defense of not censoring writing to “all of these people are sick and support r*pe”, which is awful and obviously not true and not at all the point of the discussion. Someone made a list of users who had either supported the collection, left a kudos on the fic, or made tweets they saw defending the right to post fics of that nature so long as they’re properly tagged. That list, unfortunately, got screenshot from their private dm and posted publicly, and it turned into a witch-hunt. Cue more spiraling out of control. The list (which I was on) turned into a hit list of sorts: a lot of the people on it got anon hate, people were going to our mutual friends and demanding they stop following us because we’re “problematic”, some even got death threats, the whole thing was a huge mess. It was a big deal for two days, and now it looks like (as with most fandom drama) it’s faded back to a few rumblings here and there. I don’t think I saw anything about it today at all, actually.
And that’s really it.
TL;DR It all boils down to a question of ‘should writers be able to write these topics’, a lot of us said yes, and the people who didn’t like that answer for some reason felt the need to dictate that because they didn’t like us for it, no one should like us, and we should all be blocked and boycotted.
I hold zero hard feelings towards anyone who ended up blocking/unfollowing me during it because I know we can’t all have the same views on these sorts of things, and if my tolerance of the existence of that sort of writing is a make-or-break for someone then that’s fine. Everyone should curate their existence on social media to a space they feel comfortable in! I like to think I’m a good person, but I know that on topics like this being a good person isn’t enough to keep people around when they can’t agree to disagree.
I do, however, have several hard feelings towards the people who spread blatant lies about me and turned this into a set of accusations that had nothing to do with the original issue. A lot of people just blindly listened to whatever drama-filled rumors were going around and that sucks because I’m not at all someone who would romanticize or glorify or support r*pe in real life (someone actually accused me of that can you believe?!?!), and that’s unfortunately what a lot of people who I’ve never exchanged a single word with before believe about me now because of a few vocal, toxic people. Which is really unfortunate but there’s nothing to be done about it now, and I’m just glad the whole List Drama portion of it seems to be over tbh.(not mad about the discussion of censorship it prompted, though! Glad that happened, even if I wish it happened in a more civilized format)
#prompt anon#discourse#drama#normally I avoid these sorts of fandom chaos moments but there wasn't a lot I could do about avoiding this one#anon glamour activated#ask rune

Hello! It is I, you new Santa, here to inform you that I am ready to write a brand new, complete fic all for you! (and also, I may have watched a little bit more Sesame Street than this my brain can hold this morning - pardon my Grovering) I've got your prompt in my hands and I'm all set to get to it, but first I must ask you a few questions so prepare yourself for incoming messages. 1 Do you have any squicks, triggers, or absolute no's that I need to avoid? 2 Favorite/ least favorite tropes?
3 Besides Rumple and Belle, who are your favorite characters in Once? Also, those whom you wouldn’t mind seeing in a pit of boiling snake entrails?
4 Favorite show / movie / song / book, etc (for no real reason other than I’m trying to get to know you).
5 What kind of points would you like me to hit in the story?
6 Who is your favorite muppet? I will be back later on, in the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day! PS, I hope you like AUs.
Hey there, (new) Santa! Thank you so much for stepping in : D (And don’t worry about the Grover thing--my “speech” pattern in English is usually 50% compromised of the last piece of acoustic media I consumed, and that is why I should not be allowed to listen to the Sherlock Holmes audiobooks before trying to talk to actual people.)
Alrighty, let’s get to the questions part of this. In order:
1) Rolling out the actual specifics on that would take forever (and I’m not exactly comfortable doing it on the blog), so let’s just say: if we could stay away from protracted death scenes, especially in hospitals, that would be great. I’m not sure how it could come up, but y’know, putting it out here. Just in case. The three main AO3 warnings basically fall into the category of “I Would Prefer Not To”, but that’s the only hard no I can think of (that would reasonably come up).
2) ...how long do you have? Nah, just kidding, I’ll try and keep it short. I love some Angst With A Happy Ending (and its violent little sibling, Hurt/Comfort). Also, if it fits your idea, I so don’t mind established relationships. Reading about these two idiots get together is always wonderful, but reading about them go up against stuff together has a special place in my heart.Not-so-favourite tropes: Love Triangles. This is more trope fatigue than trope dislike, but just... please no.
3) As I’m sure nobody is sick of hearing by now: I love Ruby to bits. There’s of course always Regina, but I don’t know how easily she can be fit into a story, so... at your own discretion and all that. I love Neal/Bae a whole bunch, too, and even a mention that he’s around and well would be great!
4) Favourites!Show: Doctor Who (nobody @ me, you can’t change my mind anyways)Movie: ...idk, Hot Fuzz, probably? (I don’t “connect” to movies very strongly, but I can watch that one pretty much any time and have a ton of fun)Song: Uh... last week, you mean? “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons. Generally, I’m a big fan of ballads, because... well, I like it when music tells a story. And yes, I adore musical theatre. Again, you can’t change my mind *g*Book: *looks at ginormous pile of Discworld books* Definitely one of those. Please don’t make me choose between my children! (It’s either “Night Watch” or “Maskerade”, I think.)And for the etcetera: my favourite flower is the evening star/evening primrose, because they smell amazing.
5) Tbh, I’m a bit wary of going into too much detail, because I really don’t want to inadvertently box you in. I would love if there’s a “moment of support” between Rumple and Belle, though (meaning that one or both of them support/help the other against whatever nonsense is going on at the time). Also, any mention that Rumple either has contact with his family (whoever may count among them in your AU) or at least wants to have contact with them would be wonderful.
6) I... Uhm... I never watched a single Muppet thing in my life. Not because I avoided them, mind you, our paths just never crossed. (I think they’re less ubiquitous in Germany). But if I have to pick one by reputation alone, I think I’ll go with Miss Piggy.
Wow, OK, that took a surprising amount of time. Can I ask what your favourite show, movie, and book are? I know that asks have a limited character number, and that the whole anonymity thing makes things difficult, but I thought those are safe enough *g*
And yes, I love AUs!

Of course I’m mad? You ignored me like I wasn’t important at all, how did you expect me to react? Welcome you back with open arms? Fuck no. I really like you, and I want this to work out, but you can’t be a child about it.
To: Joon
Time: Saturday, Apr 14 • 14:33

namjoon? it’s not like you to be this late, and to not answer me? i thought we were doing better. are you okay? i hope you’re safe.
To: Jin
Time: Saturday, Apr 14 • 19:25
i just got to the hospital. they’re not letting me see him yet but a nurse told me that he is stable for now. i’ll keep you updated. please forward to the other guys.
To: Jin
Time: Saturday, Apr 14 • 19:59
they just let me in to see him. he’s still unconscious but he’s fully stable now. they’re saying that they don’t expect any permanent damage. his left arm got broken, and he looks pretty beat up, but he’s mostly alright. they say it’s lucky that the car hit the passenger side, as otherwise the damage would be much bigger. i’m going to stay here until they kick me out, i’ll keep you updated.
To: Jin
Time: Saturday, Apr 14 • 21:30
they’re saying i have to leave in half an hour. can you come pick me up? he’s still asleep, but he hasn’t gotten worse so i’m thankful.
To: Hoseok
Time: Sunday, Apr 15 • 08:37
jin’s gone to work already so i was hoping you could give me a ride to the hospital? i can take a bus if you’re busy, don’t stress.
To: Hoseok
Time: Sunday, Apr 15 • 09:27
thanks for the ride, i owe you one
To: Jin
Time: Sunday, Apr 15 • 13:28
you don’t have to come for lunch, i know you usually spend it with hoseok. i’ll eat something in the cafeteria, i promise so please don’t worry. he hasn’t woken up yet.
To: Jin
Time: Sunday, Apr 15 • 16:22
thanks for coming over, even if it was just a little bit. i’m freaking out a little, but they say he’ll be okay so i just have to trust their judgment. i’ll update you if anything happens.
To: Jin
Time: Sunday, Apr 15 • 19:43
he woke up! i’m so relieved. he wasn’t awake for long, and complained about being in pain and that it wasn’t fair that his boyfriend was as pretty as an angel because he couldn’t tell whether he was in heaven or not. he passed out again when they upped his morphine, but they say it’s good that he woke up.
To: Jin
Time: Wednesday, Apr 18 • 12:55
he’s doing much better, already complaining about the hospital food. they say he has to stay for a while longer but that he will need help for the first few days he’s out, so i’ll stay at his. we spent all morning talking. i’m happy he’s okay.
To: Joon
Time: Monday, May 7 • 22:37

is it too early to tell him i love him? because i think i love him. i’m like pretty sure i love him. i don’t think i’ve ever loved anyone as much as i love him. help.
To: No Help Jin
Time: Friday, May 25 • 04:43
okay but i have no actual idea if i should tell him or text it to him because you know talking over text is usually easier and i get to formulate what i want to say and i get to think about how to say it but then that might seem impersonal and i don’t want him to think i’m an asshole but who knows when i’ll see him next because exams are coming up and i want it to be perfect and i don’t know jin i’m so stressed aaaaAAAAAAAAAA
To: Jin Will Scream At Me
Time: Friday, May 25 • 05:21
you can tell me i’m insane tomorrow and i’ll agree haaaaaa i just told him that i think i’m in love with him and then hid in the bathroom for like twenty minutes but he hasn’t replied because he’s asleep because of course he’s asleep but i’ve slept like four hours in the past two??? three??? days??? help

To: Joonie
Time: Thursday, Jul 19 • 00:27
thank you. okay, so, i just really need to get this off my chest because it’s slowly starting to suffocate me and i don’t want to keep all of that inside anymore because i want to get better and i want to talk to people about these things and i trust you and i love you and so i want to share this with you. okay. so you know how i get really stressed when exams roll around because i just wanna do well and i’m scared, terrified of failing, and then sometimes i just start feeling like something is constantly sitting on my chest and it’s hard to breathe and sometimes i even forget to breathe and tbh if i didn’t live with jin i’m not sure i would always eat during these times or even sleep. and talking to you helps, it definitely helps because i feel like i can breathe a little easier because i know you understand me even when i don’t talk about it. but i want to talk about it. and right now i wanna ask that you ask about this stuff. it’s hard but i wanna talk about it. and if you want to then i wanna listen to it as well. i love you, and i want this to be something that we can talk about.
To: Joonie
Time: Thursday, Jul 19 • 00:58
i don’t feel like that at all. you’re just trying to make me feel better, i really appreciate that. i always find it cute when you ramble like that, you know? don’t be worried about talking to me, we can only understand each other if we communicate. i’m really happy we’re talking about this. thank you.
To: Jin
Time: Monday, Jul 30 • 08:22
i’m leaving now i’ll be at hoseok’s in like twenty minutes if you two aren’t ready i’m stealing your car and going to watch joon alone and i’ll talk shit about you the whole time
To: Joonie
Time: Monday, Jul 30 • 08:44
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck!!!!!!! we’re all in the stands we’ll be rooting for you and screaming your name. well. maybe not. it’s a poetry thing not a concert so maybe no screaming but at least loud clapping!

Time: Wednesday, Aug 15 • 12:04
yo man you left your one box of old photos here and i couldn’t resist so i opened it and took pictures before sealing it perfectly again but can you come pick it up because i’m about to hand the keys back because i’m done with my stuff and this box is just here and waiting for you and who knows what else i will do with it if you don’t come quick.

To: Jin
Time: Friday, Aug 17 • 22:22
i take offense to the fact that you think that i cannot cook. just because i choose not to cook, that does not mean that i do not know how to do this. we’re having a cookoff. i will not stand for this hearsay.
To: Joonie
Time: Sunday, Aug 26 • 19:31
don’t listen to jin i was the one who won the cookoff because i am the best and i have brought the food back home so we’ll have the rest together when you come back please hurry i am a whole hunger
To: Jin
Time: Sunday, Sep 23 • 04:29
i know it was kinda rough sometimes with him, and sometimes it still gets like that, but we’re good, you know? we’re good for each other and we get a little better every day and i love him more than i’ve ever thought possible and, you know, i think we’ll be okay. we’ll be okay. definitely.

What is your total word count on AO3?
156,790. Woah. I definitely didn’t think I’ve written that much.
How often do you write?
Not as often as I’d like tbh. I tend to write when inspiration strikes and I have the time. Those don’t usually both happen at once though. I generally squeeze it in at least once a week, but it varies a lot. (It does sorta shoot up in the middle of midterm season for some reason, though. I tend to really wanna write when it’s the worst possible time.
Do you have a routine for writing?
Nope. I mean, not even a little bit. I like handwriting things a lot more, but I’ve got no issues with typing stuff either. Sometimes I’ll do an fairly in-depth outline of what I’m doing with a story, sometimes I honestly just wing it and hope for the best. Half the time my notes on a fic end up in different places depending on what papers I had around me at the time. Long story short, I’m a mess.
What’s your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing?
I’m gonna start with the easy question: favorite pairing? Coldflash. Pretty sure it’s no contest at this point. Tumbled headfirst into the fandom a couple years ago and never looked back. (Although I also multiship, and it’s both a blessing and a curse)
Trope-wise...I always like enemies-to-lovers/friends-to-lovers stuff. Found family is also one of my faves that I’ve had for a while. IDK if this counts as a trope exactly but hurt/comfort is my jam - destroy my emotions and end happy is all I ask of anything. @kashinoha also got me into sickfic a little while back, although I’m writing it less now (partially cause too much of that tag for CF is my stuff...figured I’d back off a bit).
Do you have a favorite fic of yours?
Literally going back through all the things I’ve written to figure this out.
Umm... Doubts and Things Deserved is probably one of my favorites just cause it’s the hurt/comfort-y Len and Coldflash fic that I live for. Tbh there’s some weird wordings and whatnot that I wish I’d fixed, but I still love it. I also go back to Smooth Criminal (because singing and Coldflash, need I say more?) and Heists, Holidays, and Head Colds (because fluff and humor and there are puns) pretty often.
Switching gears, but Calm Before the Storm is another personal favorite of mine. It’s a short Hobbit thing and isn’t even posted as its own fic, but I like the OC I created for that story, and she’s since sorta demanded to have her entire story told. So it sorta got spun out into a whole AU universe because I like this character and her backstory, but it’s not one that I can take into original story territory.
Speaking of, Reminiscing the Past is also pretty special to me? It’s for YuGiOh and one of my older fics (so it’s not the best written and my style’s changed since then) but it kinda got me into writing? It also has its own set of original characters that have actually now sorta led me to reframe that entire story as an original work. So aside from my fanfic, this is actually my current writing project at the moment, and it just makes me happy cause I’m finally writing some stuff of my own.
Your fic with the most kudos?
Putting Things In Perspective (Coldflash soulmate AU from 7 POVs - aka probably the most technically difficult of my fics so it makes me happy). Okay, this isn’t surprising. It’s my most viewed thing and just topped 8k hits recently?? Wow, I love you guys.
Anything you don’t like about your writing?
That it rarely happens. I get lazy and writing feels like I’m procrastinating work, so instead I end up on this hellsite instead of writing OR doing work and I think you get the picture. I should write more often. I also feel like my writing is really fast, if that makes sense? I always see other people’s things and they’re these super long, really developed epics, and I have no idea why mine just end up shorter? Dunno if this is bad or not, but it sorta bugs me.
I also suck at action scenes. But that just is what it is.
Now something you do like?
I’m not sure if I’m necessarily good at it, but I tend to fold a character’s voice into the narration itself, and I love using that sorta thing to distinguish who’s narrating the fic/chapter (tbh that’s what Putting Things In Perspective is as a fic, and I’m actively trying to do that for Such Deliberate Disguises.) It makes me feel like the storytelling is unique, I guess? It’s also fun when characters take over the story. It doesn’t happen for me often, but it does on ocassion, and that’s always fun, even if my brother looks at me and says I’m crazy when it happens.
Tag some of your favorite writers:
Umm...I’m not sure who has or hasn’t been tagged? I know there’s a bunch of super talented writers in the Flash Trash chat that I haven’t really talked to yet, but if any of you see this and wanna do it, consider yourself tagged :)
(Or really anyone else in the Flash fandom, so many great writers here)

Okay, by unpopular request, Troll Final Fantasy XV. Under a cut because I love you and want you to be happy, or at least not forced to read my Certified Bad Opinions.
So, let’s start in the center and work our way out. The central story is clearly the tale of Prince Noctis And His Pale Harem. Like, it’s 100% a self-indulgent Harem AU of itself. Because, see, ever since Noctis was little he was basically Assigned Ignis and Gladio as his moirails, because obviously as the Crown Prince his physical and emotional stability is too important to be left to chance. [N.B. Noctis is clearly a tyrianblood, like, that’s not remotely up for debate. Unusually short-lived tyrianbloods? The Crystal drains their energy, making their lifespans unnaturally brief? IDK it’s Troll Fiction.] Ignis is there to take care of his physical wellbeing and support him emotionally, and Gladio is there to protect him and be honest with him.
BUT! One of the awkward things about growing up in an arranged moirallegiance with someone is that it isn’t always all that romantic. And Noctis is kind of a shit moirail to both of them, because he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing and also they’ve just. Always been there. So he doesn’t completely think of them as romantic relationships that he has to put work into. I mean, obviously he supports them financially and politically, but that just sort of happens without his active input.
Enter Prompto! This lowblood [Probably some kind of weird Niflheim-specific blood caste passing as a Lucian lowblood? Fortunately the game doesn’t show blood spatter, so it’s easy to conceal from the audience, but the fandom has to bend over backwards to explain how the other characters don’t notice.] comes into Noctis’s life after a lot of Brotherhood-era drama about being Good Enough to be frenemies with The Crown Prince, but the important point is that Noctis is suddenly seized with the urge to support and protect him and has no idea what to do. Meanwhile, Prompto swears he just wanted to be frenemies! Really! But he wants to be there emotionally for Noct, who seems so lonely!
Most of the previous paragraph is wild fan speculation, but like. That motel roof scene is the palesmut equivalent of sex in semi-public places. GET A PILE, YOU TWO! There are some people who redship it, but imo the writers intended it to be pale.
What really gets the fans into heated debate and/or wild flamewars is how the rest of the group’s relationships shake out. How do Ignis and Gladio feel about this serendipitous relationship pushing them aside? Is it a big pale orgy, or is there quadrant-swapping there? There’s a compelling argument to be made that Gladio and Noct fumble toward a black relationship, which fits their actual adult feelings much better than their arranged moirallegiance. There’s also an argument to be made that that shit goes rotten after Altissia, to the point where Ignis steps in to auspisticize. And then of course Noctis gets sucked into the Crystal and it all becomes kind of a moot point. :c
(The Troll Animaterrorists put in the time to animate some fucking hugs on their last night together, because despite being, you know, members of troll society, they’re not monsters.)
SPEAKING of arranged relationships, the forced/arranged matespritship between Noctis and Luna is still a thing, and the game is very coy about whether we’re supposed to think it’s serendipitous or not. I mean, they seem fond of each other, and they know each other’s vulnerabilities, but they haven’t met since they were children, so it’s hard to see if the concupiscent attraction is there. Fandom is divided: is it red? Is she pale for him too, because Noctis is just that much of a mess that everyone wants to comfort him? Are they platonic and both shipped red & pale with others? Fandom fight!
Speaking of Luna, I struggle to explain how trolls would depict her relationship with Ravus, because as we know trolls have no siblings. I mean, they’re clearly in a situation where they were raised together and are very attached to each other and are of the same bloodcaste [violet probably], but what does that...mean? I’m hesitant to say this, but troll culture might go for moirails. Like, really rubbish moirails, because Luna’s ability to control Ravus’s poor decisions and Ravus’s ability to protect Luna are both highly in question, but they’re trying. Extremely trying, in Ravus’s case. I’m not entirely comfortable putting siblings in a romantic relationship, but trolls don’t really have a concept of incest, so ??? Let’s not think about it too hard.
While I’m talking about things that make me uncomfortable, I’m not even going to try to explain Gladio’s and Iris’s relationship. They’re the same bloodcaste and were raised by their mutual ancestor and Gladio is supportive of Iris’s red crush on Noctis. Unless in troll AU it’s a black crush, which would at least be interesting. Let Teen Girls Have Innocent Black Crushes 2k17.
Circling back around, Prompto is the fandom pale bicycle. [I can tell because there’s an entire tag on AO3 devoted to his suffering. It’s science.] There’s definitely a small but enthusiastic Prompto♦Aranea fandom since Episode Prompto came out, though it’s hampered somewhat by the fact that Aranea is written as kind of flat in her self-sufficiency. There’s also definitely some Prompto/Noctis/Luna in some red/pale combination or other, which I personally am all about. I mean, I’m the pale orgy person, it is I.
I’m sad to say that Ardyn♠Noctis is definitely a thing, canonically speaking. That’s what complicated murder/suicides are all about, in troll terms. It’s also literally destined, so there’s really no getting away from it, even though it’s manifestly an unhealthy relationship that does no one any favors. That or it’s Noctis♣Ardyn/the Astrals and/or the world at large, which you could also make a solid argument for. I think I prefer that, because that’s not how blackrom works at all. I’m pretty sure Ardyn is gunning for Noct’s pitch quadrant regardless, though not as hard as Loqi is gunning for Cor’s. With an actual gun. It’s doomed to be unrequited, because you will take aroace Cor from my cold dead hands. So I guess in troll AU he’s aconciliatory/aconcupiscent. (I say this just to demonstrate how little of the quadrant-specific vocabulary I have forgotten.)
Kingsglaive is a hard movie to pin down, quadrant-wise. Like, I definitely feel like there’s some kind of spark between Nyx and Luna, but it’s hard to pin down to one side of the red/black divide. There’s probably fic for both tbh. I guess canon keeps it ambiguous as well. I mean, they clearly respect each other, but also there’s a lot of sharing deep-seated insecurities. Personally, I’m all for healthy blackrom, as you know. Lunafreya could use a chance to clash with someone for fun.
Libertus is much more popular in the troll fandom than the human fandom. (Am I salty about the lack of fan content for my fave? Why would you say that?) He’s so soft and in such emotional distress! Your pale self-insert goes here! [Obviously all the Glaives are rust- or brown-bloods. The magic probably is replaced by unlocking latent psychic abilities. Or else they keep magic and this is a ~strange world~ where there are ~no psionics~.] Nyx and Libertus and probably Crowe are like...how Vriska and Terezi used to call each other ‘sisters’? Long-term stable nonquadrant cahootship? That’s them. I realize I had one use of ‘siblings’ in this post and I used in on characters who aren’t actually siblings, but nyeh. Maybe Gladio and Iris are also Troll Siblings. Cahootfriends. It’s not my fault Luna and Ravus kind of suck at being in cahoots.
And that I think covers most of the cast! This is only twelve million words long! I have so many thoughts, apparently! If you also have thoughts, please come share them! You are also a giant nerd and we should be friends!

The
queen is back and I’m so freaking happy <3
‘annoyed’ nothing you say is annoying ok, I’m actually just really relieved and happy that I’m helping in any way at all. Also you listen to my rambling all the time and you supported me with my anxiety (you have no idea how much our convos helped after I first saw a doctor about it and was feeling really confused about what to do) so ‘what did I do to deserve you’ is probably what I should be saying to you.
Tbh when things are as serious as you’ve described then you’re definitely not overreacting. Like I said before, I’m always ready to listen/talk when you need to. And you don’t have to stress about replies; I honestly don’t mind at all as long as you’re ok.
Thank you Queen Luna you’re the best ;-;
Also, good news and bad news:
Bad news- A bit after I sent the last message mom apparently found out about Tumblr and decided that I probably shouldn’t get an account here because of all the NSFW content. I get why she’s worried so I guess I won’t be getting an account here for a while.
Good news- HOWEVER, I was chatting with someone on ao3 and they asked if we could move our convo somewhere else. They recommended something called Discord so I got an account there. If you’ve never heard of Discord it’s basically a voice and text chat system usually used by gamers, but it seems to be pretty popular among non-gamers too. PMing is possible there :D (The only flaw is that you can’t send very long messages, so you have to send multiple short ones, which is a bit annoying…but otherwise it’s pretty neat so maybe we can try it if you’re ok with that?)
XD yeah that’s actually pretty accurate.
*reads Luna’s message*
*inhale*
UM. DO YOU HAvE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING YOU ARE. LET ME TRY TO BE A GOOD, SUPPORTIVE FRIEND AND TELL YOU
Yep it was one of the grossest things that ever happened to me OTL I’m still swimming but I’m taking a long break right now- a break that started because my little sister broke her toe and we were basically stuck at home taking care of her (the pool is a bit far for me to go on my own so if mom’s stuck at home so am I), and then got longer because the pool’s old and some things had to be ‘fixed’, and then got even longer because my coach is getting married (just reread that and realized that I sound super annoyed, I’m actually not, I have no problem with my coach getting married XD). I’ll probably start again around next month, though :)
Thanks ^^
Oooh are you a comic fan??? I haven’t read any superhero comics because there seem to be so many AUs(?)/different timelines so trying to figure out where to start is really confusing, plus I actually sorta prefer manga/manhwa art styles (not that wester comics are bad- a lot of them have really good art too, I just personally prefer the manga/manhwa styles (especially for the panels). Also the ecchi-ish costumes/anatomy for almost every single female superhero gets a bit ridiculous sometimes lol). Some of them seem really fun, though, and I’d like to try them out someday…
It’s really cool that you’ve been a fan of T'challa for so long, it must’ve been even more exciting to see him in the movie :D
Imagine everyone watching The Winter Soldier together. Then the 'brainwashed bucky’ scenes start.
Illumi: *stares intently at the screen*
Illumi: I see no problem with this.
Watching Civil War and Leorio goes Dad Mode and covers Gon’s and Killua’s eyes when Hisoka starts making…innappropriate…noises during the fight scenes
(Hisoka low-key writing reader insert lemons about various MCU heroes. Most likely Natasha (because she’s a lot like Machi, his only female crush so far), Bruce (how Hisoka would love to unleash the beast), Thor (he’s a literal GOD imagine how badly he could mess Hisoka up *schwing*), Wanda, and Vision (he probably liked Loki too before Loki got beat up by the Hulk and Hisoka was like ‘oh I have a new senpai’)
Then Illumi gets Milluki (his tech genius little brother) to hack into Hisoka’s computer for info and is like 'what is this Hisoka I do not understand why you derive pleasure from this trash’)
Everyone thinks Gon should relate to Tony on a personal level but he doesn’t, because despite being a sunshine angel he’s also a freaking weird kid who doesn’t hate Ging. At all. (Though that might have something to do with the fact that he doesn’t even consider Ging his parent in the first place; he never even calls him 'dad’ or 'my father’)
Killua, on the other hand, relates to Bucky a bit too much and thinks HYDRA is basically the Zoldyck family.
Everybody’s Team Cap except for Illumi, who’s Team Iron Man (“Why would you want to break the rules?”), and then Hisoka randomly shows up like 'Team Hulk ;)’
Every time Howard Stark is mentioned everyone just stares at Ging, who shifts uncomfortably
(Yeah did I tell you about the time Leorio punched Ging for being a trash dad?)
OMG. Thank you for that. I’ve seen a lot of 'Hisoka as the clown from the 'It’ movie’ posts on tumblr but never any fanart for that idea. Run, Gon. Run.
I’m considering teaching myself to animate just to make those animatics XD
(Also, random thing: it’s Chuseok over here (basically like the Korean version of Thanksgiving, I guess?) and usually, people recieve money from older relatives during holidays like this in Korea. I got about 80 dollars (50 from my maternal grandparents, 10 from my paternal grandfather and 20 from my uncle) so I’m debating on what to spend it on: It’s either a tablet so I can learn how to do digital art (I’m thinking about polishing my drawing skills for a while and then making a webcomic. My parents support this so they’re willing to pay a little extra for a tablet) or a ukulele (I like the piano but I realized a while ago that it’d be great to have an instrument that I can carry around, so I did some research and the ukulele seems good. I really like the sound so I’m willing to put some effort into learning it). Idk which one I should choose, though. Technically the tablet should be my priority but I also like the ukulele…
(and idek why I mentioned this either, guess the talk about animating reminded me of the tablet lol))
I thrive on angst. Tragedy fuels me. (But tbh HxH is a LOT darker than I was prepared for. I’m currently shipping an ant king with a genius human girl and I know from spoilers that they’re both going to die)
Yeah, she’s alive :D but apparently Kaneki is now 'dead’ (though I don’t think he is really, if Ishida kills him off now (after all the stuff with Hide? All the character development Ken hasn’t gotten yet? When he still hasn’t talked about anything with Shuu or Hinami or even Akira?) and gives us a new protagonist or something I might finally rage-quit this series.
Or not, since with all the Touken stuff and Kaneki being sorta insensitive ever since he became the OEK…maybe a new protagonist is what we need?). I was liking all the parallels with Arima in the first series until this, because it was just…um. I think my main problem with the whole thing is the freakng PACING because it just feels so clunky and awkward. This is probably one of those chapters that will be really good if Ishida somehow manages to connect it with the next chapters and has everything make sense later, but if he doesn’t do it well it’s going to suck forever OTL
At least TG finally confirmed Naki’s death, though. I mean, the ideal situation for me is if he never died in the first place, but at least a confirmed death is better than Ishida suddenly bringing him back to life after that panel with Yamori. And his death scene was handled well. (Now please just tell me that he, Kanae and Hairu aren’t coming back as Kanou-Furuta zombies and I will be semi-satisfied)
Also AOT if you haven’t read the new chapter yet spoilers but
(The-Reiner-Eren reunion I HAVE WAITED SO. LONG FOR THIS
Also Eren’s grandad ;-;
And maybe we’ll finally be seeing Annie again soon since she’s been appearing in so many flashbacks and Reiner’s probably going to ask about her if he and Eren get to actually talk
Love those hints about something finally starting to change
ANOTHER PERSON FROM MIKASA’S CLAN? I hope we see this lady again, she’s lovely
I can’t believe how much the art has improved, it actually looks GOOD now 0.0)
Aw, that’s ok! I’ll be looking forward to seeing it when you get a new skirt :D
Yeah, I’m really excited for OC’s name too…must be something important if they’re keeping it hidden for this long. I guess it’s French (or a word from some other non-English language) since 'Ciel’ is French for 'Sky’…and it probably has a meaning related to the sky since they’re twins. Idk. Maybe it’s the word for 'star’ ('etoile’) since stars are also a big thing in this arc?
Looking forward to your reaction! I haven’t read the novel yet but from what I know it sounds great :D (also I cannot resist the L + Naomi duo even if they never actually interacted in manga/anime canon)
Btw, is it ok if I ask how far you’ve gotten with the DN anime?
(Also fun fact: Ryuk was originally designed to look like a handsome young man (an 'attractive rock star’, in the words of DN’s creators. You can find a pic of his original design on google). His design was changed because the creators felt like he was overshadowing Light XD
But also, I just found a post on tumblr that said Takeshi Obata (DN’s artist) mentioned that Ryuk’s face in canon could just be a mask to hide his true appearance…which means that he could technically still look like that in canon. Wow. I actually think I have the book where it says Obata mentioned that, I have to go and check it now lol)
Watch it if you dare and prepare to weep over all the wasted potential, because now that I read/watch more about it I guess the saddest thing is that it COULD have been great. I mean, like I said, the visuals are REALLY good, L’s actor could have been a good L if not for the bad script, Ryuk’s actor/design were also super great (it’s just his role in the movie and his motivations they messed up ;-;)…
I don’t watch Avatar (I’d like to when I have the time, though, because it seems like a great show) but I’ve heard of that movie and tbh I can’t even.
Ty :D (Ayy the queen said I’d make a cute Peridot *fangirls*
You’re also my closest friend right now and I love talking to you so much <3 thank you for everything Luna.)
See this is why you’re awesome. Thank you so much ;-; (and what, did Queen Luna mention me to her parents. Did I make a good impression. Omg. (jk, jk lol))
Also: I’d like to rec a song to you, it’s called 'Lovely’ by Twenty One Pilots :D
Oh look I actually replied within a week :’)
OK ILL START W DISORD BC IM EXCITE. I already have one, from a while ago, my # is 5773! So add me whenever you want ^^ ((But please just send me a short message here, cause I turned notifs off for it, so i can turn them on again ^^)) Well, uh, here’s the thing about short messages. If a site/app has an instant message feature, you can bet I’ll be the one to split a sentence into 10 separate messages for dramatic effect… So, uh, prepare to have 42 new messages instead of like 4 waiting when you open the app ^^
I never ever ever have any problems with listening to you. I just appreciate you’re comfortable enough with me to be able to come to me. Honestly, I truly appreciate you in my life, especially considering that you can always reassure me with your words ^^ Truly a writer’s talent :p
Well, I’m going to a psychologist soon, so we’ll see what they’ll say. Idk tho, I dont think I even care anymore. I just want this stomach thing to pass as soon as possible.
Ouch, I hope your sister is better now… I’ve never broken anything so I wouldn’t know the feeling. Aww, coaches getting married is actually the cutest thing ever XD My archery coach got married a few years back and she was practically glowing. Ah, if you don’t mind me asking, do you have a particular stroke you specialise in or do you just swim everything?
I could say the same about comic/manga styles. Tbh, I don’t really consider myself a comic fan? When I was a kid, I used to buy the children’s comics to ward off boredom, but never really continued after I got into reading actual books. Black Panther happened to be among those comics and I remembered him when they mentioned T’Challa in CW. I wonder if i still have those old comics somewhere… But yeah, i was pretty excited when they mentioned him XD
That viewing actually sounds amazing… I get the feeling they’d all want to do an in depth analyzation of the characters? (But idk i don’t really know the characters that well) except for Hisoka, who’s probably just schwinging around being creepy per usual. I’m torn between wanting to read those lemons and just backing the fuck away…. Probably read like a paragraph and then set everything on fire. Yeah, that sounds good.
I presume you’re not gonna watch IT? Random, but i thought of it bc of the fanart… Tbh I won’t watch it either. I’ve never watched a single horror movie in my life and i intend to keep it that way. Unless you count Coraline as horror, which I actually would in some ways? Idk tho, that movie traumatised me. Not even joking when I say I occasionally have nightmares related to it. Advice; if you haven’t, DO NOT WATCH CORALINE. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a cartoon. I mean 9 is a cartoon, but it’s also freaking dark. HAPPY TREE FRIENDS IS A CARTOON AND I WOULDNT TOUCH THE VIDEOS WITH A 9 FOOT POLE. Long story short, cartoons are not a joke.
For some reason I confused the Ukulele with a Lute and was like ‘I’m not gonna judge, but… why?’ then i actually googled it and realised I’m an idiot. But, um, I can’t say anything other than it’s your choice and you should do whatever would make you happier? There’s that trick of throwing a penny in the air and if you’re disappointed when it lands heads/tails, you know you want the other one. Idk, tho, both options sound equally nice!
… HxH gets weirder every time you tell me about it
KANEKI IS WHAT NOW Um, okay then.... alrighty...
guess who dropped TG again
WELL FUCK IM SCREAMING ABOUT THE NEW CHAPTER WHOAH EREN’T GRAMPA WHOAH THE REUNION However, the best part is Reiner acting like a dad during the festival
Oooh Etoile would be interesting!
I’m still at the ep where L dies ;-; I haven’t had the time to move forward, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to watch some during this weekend
Well, uh. My mom came into my room while I was writing this and had to ask me why i was crying (I’m pretty sure she thought I was having one of my all-time-lows again). The reason why I was actually crying? The song. Words can’t express my gratitude. I’d download it, but tbh I feel like I’ll start ugly sobbing again every time I listen to it...
random note, i started going to school by train! It’s actually a lot nicer than the bus and cheaper XD Idk why i put this here but yay
