properly improper by @lizardcookie

“Marry me,” Mr. Potter repeats, closing the distance between them by striding back up towards the sofa, only to stop and crouch to one knee right there at her feet, looking up at her. Burning. “Pick me,” he elaborates. “Pick me, choose me, love me instead.”

- this fic is the reason why I comment the way that I do (spoiler it's because it's amazing)

The Wedding Ring by @mppmaraudergirl

What is undeniably worse than attending your sister's wedding looking as desolate and forgotten as a wilted houseplant? Drunkenly ringing your ex-boyfriend and asking him to be your date.

- SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY AT THE PERFECTION

Oh my god, they were ROOMMATES by @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world

Silly one-shot, Muggle AU with Fem!Jily as pining roommates and Marlene as their matchmaker.

Swipe Right, Swing Left by @downn-in-flames

The unspoken rule of using dating apps in D.C. is that you always start with where you work.

James Potter, it seems, never picked up on that one.

- giddy just thinking about this gem

'Tis the Damn Season by @petalstofish

It doesn't feel like Christmas for Lily Evans, not after losing her parents to COVID before the Holiday season. She anticipates spending Christmas all alone until a boy from her past shows up and offers her a mutually benefiting deal that has her calling him 'babe' just for the weekend. 'Tis the damn season, after all.

- cries in respect for lyrical writing

Watch Me Unwind by @maraudersftw

Lily Evans hates her job, hates the bigoted customers she has to serve as a bartender at the richest club in the city. But the one person who makes bearing all of it worth it has someone else in his arms tonight. (Rated: M)

- obsessed with the way the plot jumps around the time line in this

oil be there for you by @abby10fanfic

Texting/Social Media AU: Lily and James haven't spoken for 2 years. But that's all about to change thanks to Peter and his involvement in an essential oil pyramid scheme. Featuring boss babes, toxin-free lifestyles, binding contracts, and a very oily journey.

- YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAB THIS IS

a matchmaking mission by @downn-in-flames

James Potter has a mission: get Sirius Black and Remus Lupin to finally admit that they both fancy the pants off each other by Valentine's Day.

His partner in crime? Lily Evans, Remus' flatmate, who he also happens to be slightly in love with

- DOUBLE the amount of pining idiots in love :")

about time by @jilyss

'sure, yeah, I can accompany you to that black tie event for your work tonight. wait. why are we on a red carpet?'

- this is my emotional comfort fic, your honor

whiskey business by @elanev91

Sirius Black has a (bad?) habit of picking up hobbies that take over his and James' flat -- this most recent one? Homemade vodka that James now has to try and peddle to everyone in the building.

- hysterical! must read!

Fashion Disaster by @maraudersftw

James Potter is roped into an awful dare by his best-mate, which involves him wearing atrocious pieces of clothing for all days until Christmas as dictated by Sirius. If this wasn't terrible enough, he now has to contend with his maddening crush on the beautiful saleswoman at the clothing store.

- classic hijinks that I live for

it wasn't a pity invite by @elanev91

Part of the December "Winter Tropes" Jily challenge. Prompt: my family invites you to join our holiday meal as an obvious setup and omG i’m so sorry

- awkward Christmas date that owns my heart

spice and honey by @clare-with-no-i

tagging along with her food reporter sister to profile James Potter, London's hottest young chef, is not how Lily Evans pictured her Monday going - especially if he's anything like Petunia’s described.

needless to say, she's in for a whirlwind at Chez Maraudeur.

- I'm one re-read away from printing this out and putting it on my bookshelf.

Waffle Wars by @elanev91

There's only one waffle maker in the dining hall and it literally always breaks. So, naturally, the only reasonable course of action is to meticulously map out when it's working and, ultimately, do a heist.

- the witty narration in this fic can not be matched

You Can Hear It In The Silence by @alrightginger

Lily is non-verbal and deaf in a world where the things your soulmate says about you end up written on your skin. She has known about her soulmate since she was seven, but knows they don't have a clue she exists and possibly never will.

- exquisite, cue me sobbing forever

out the window by @displayheartcode

A new family moves to Ottery St Catchpole.

An Evans Family Christmas: Petunia is bringing her fiancé and Lily is bringing her…Friend…

- petunia pov that gives me WINGS

Football, Calculus, and Cappuccinos by @moonawrites

At eighteen years old, James Potter has a lot going on. He's a rising star navigating the politics of professional football, the pitfalls of sudden fame, the fallout from choosing his dream over his father's company... and a serious crush on the red headed new barista at his favourite coffee shop.

- I'm still working my way through this fic, but trust me when I say its a GEM

if u like pina coladas by @zephyrcove

Lily is desperate for a date to Petunia's wedding, James has been pining, and their friends meddle ;)

- explain to me how characters can be so perfect via texting fics?

Shelf Awareness by @ghostofbambifanfiction

It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.

- you absolutely must know that I binge read this and then immediately REREAD it

How to win a witch in 10 days by @adenei

“She’s going to find some unsuspecting wizard, get him to fall for her, and then do all the things that turn men away to get him to break things off! Won’t it be the best way to see what witches do that drives men crazy?” But what happens when the man in question is a blast from Lily Evans's past? A Jily Magical AU based on the romantic comedy "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."

- fic based off of a rom com? YES PLZ :’)

The Fight Before Christmas by @ghostofbambifanfiction

The heartwarming Christmas tale of Lily Evans and James Potter - two plucky kids who hated one other, until the day they really, really didn't.

- complete sucker for this one

All This Time by @thejilyship

James and Lily grew up next door to one another. Their bedroom windows giving them glimpses into the others life, and also offering prime opportunities to argue with each other over every little thing. They never figured out how to be friends when they were kids, but now that they've graduated from college and are home for the summer, they have a second chance to get things right.

- one of my favvvv tropes

Let Me Love You by @thejilyship

With only a month until she's set to take the throne of Gryffindor, Lily is informed that she'll have to get married or choose to give up her throne. She never thought she'd have to even entertain the idea of an arranged marriage. Enter, James Potter.

- cries in princess diares AU

The Fabulous Baker Brothers by @frustratedpoetwrites

Lily walks a different route home from work and stumbles upon a cute little Bakery with an even cuter baker in the window.

- yes yes yes to embarrassed pining.

Marigold Mornings by @mppmaraudergirl

This is a fun game she thinks, as she removes her hand from his side and reaches up to run it down his chest. He catches her hand in his own, takes a step forward so that her nose nearly brushes against his shirt. She can feel the heat radiating off of him—or maybe it’s from her. He licks his lips and her eyes are drawn to the motion. She knows it is a bad idea, absolutely knows it.

- incredible storytelling featuring dynamic characters :') a favvv

Welcome to Pettyville by@women-inthe-sequel @alrightginger

When Lily Evans accidentally sends a text to the wrong number, she isn’t expecting to find the right person behind it. She can’t stop talking to Prongs. The only thing is, Prongs can’t stop talking about the girl in his class. What could go wrong, other than the number?

- LOVE SQUARE ANYONE

The Kiss a Stranger Project by @alrightginger

“What’s your name, then?” she asks, realizing they haven’t even properly introduced themselves yet. She nervously crosses her arms.

You shouldn’t kiss a guy without knowing his name first.

Right?

[image id: starry sky background with ‘j0succ’s 5(555) follow event over the top of it]

hello everyone!!! i am so so happy that you have all followed me and read my writing and just in general being lovely to me, so i wanted to have an event to both celebrate my milestone and for my birthday (that’s june third, if u guys wanted to idk send me pictures of my husbands that day!). this event will probably stay open until then (although if i get too overwhelmed i might close it early!). i will warn you all when it’s about to close and reblog this post periodically! <3

this event is a mix and match style event with prompts to choose from, and is open for the following fandoms:

- jojo’s bizarre adventure - jujutsu kaisen - my hero academia

please refer to my rules before requesting! (also linked in my profile and pinned post! please also refer to the rules of the event, below the cut!

EVENT STATUS: closed!

[image id: starry sky background with ‘rules’ over the top of it]

As mentioned above, this is a ‘mix and match’ event! First, choose a character: you may choose two characters in a poly relationship, if you want! If your idea features more than one character not in a poly relationship, please make that clear in the request! Then, choose some options from the four categories!

The four categories are

- Base. This is basically an AU category; you do not have to pick one, but if you don’t the fic will be set in the canon universe as detailed! You may also pick your own if the one you would like isn’t listed! If you choose something from this category, you can only choose one.

- Sweet Add-On. This is the SFW plot category! Again, you can only pick one from this category; if you choose something from the Spicy category as well, it will become Fluffy NSFW - if you choose just something from this category, or something from this category and the base category, you will receive just fluff! This category cannot be combined with the Dark Add-On.

- Spicy Add-On. This is the kink category! You can pick as many from this category as you would like, but try and keep in mind how they might work with each other and your other choices! There is also an option for adding in your own kinks if I haven’t mentioned what you’d like; please keep my rules in mind! This category can be combined with any of the other categories.

- Dark Add-On. This is the Dark Content category. You can pick as many from this category as you like, and an option is included if your dark idea is not on the list! This category cannot be combined with the Sweet Add-On.

if this all sounds a little complicated, you can scroll down to the bottom of this post to see some examples of what not to do and what to do! I have numbered all of the prompts for my convenience, but you can use their number or their name to refer to them, I don’t mind!

my default for writing is an afab, gender neutral reader (or occasionally an afab fem reader); if you would like something different, please include it in the request, but also keep in mind that i don’t have much experience writing amab readers and may not be good at it!

[image id: starry sky background with ‘menu (prompts to choose from) written over the top of it]

I don’t want to gush too much on this post but I am so, so grateful to every one of you who has ever interacted with me, reblogged my posts, recommended me or otherwise - thanks to the Jojo followers who’ve been here since the beginning, my new JJK followers, and my even newer BNHA followers (I haven’t written much for it yet but I hope that this event will help with that!). Having this space makes me so happy!

I hope you all have fun requesting, and feel free to send me questions if you want or need clarification on anything! I’m super excited to get started!

oh! 25 and 99?

( angst/fluff prompt list !!! )

25. “What the hell were you thinking?!”

99. “I fell in love with you, not them.”

... so i think this is the longest prompt fill i’ve ever written? this idea originally came to me in the shower, in the form of one of them being taken in by the other for whatever reason, and that leading to a confession. because i (and a lot of you guys!) are super into the prince AU i have going as of late, here’s a third part to that. i hope u all enjoy ✨✨✨

3.4k words / marriage, crying eliott, nighttime confessions, & kisses at sunrise

---

Lucas is torn out of his slumber by someone shaking him. His eyes blinking open in the darkness, he can make out the silhouette of one of the royal advisors.

“My lord, my lord—” He straightens up, upon seeing Lucas awake. “My deepest apologies for having awoken you.” As Lucas’ eyes adjust, he can see the concern, plain on Léon’s face. “You have a visitor.” Lucas looks out his window, just to ensure that it really is, in fact, nowhere near sunrise.

“A visitor…?” Lucas’ eyebrows furrow, perplexed. “Léon, it’s the middle of the night, what is—”

“It’s Eliott.” Léon clears his throat quickly, straightening his posture. “Ah, his royal highness, rather— he’s downstairs.” Lucas is up and out of bed in a moment. He grabs for his pants, clothing himself quickly. “He appears rather distressed. He asked for you.” Léon speaks as Lucas hurries around his room, as he finishes pulling on his clothing.

“Take me to him.”

---

Lucas thinks of another time, when Eliott was in trouble. He had fallen ill, when they were both very little. He thinks of when Lucas heard the news, and how his brain shut down completely— save for a desperate, thrumming need to get to Eliott, to help him somehow. He thinks of the fact that this feels just like back then— his feet are moving faster than his brain. As Lucas runs down the staircase, he sees his mother and Eliott, in rapid succession. Firstly, he’s relieved that she’s aware of Eliott— secondly, though, he runs at Eliott, pulling him into a hug without a single word.

“Eliott?” He asks, his voice coming out in a pant. He didn’t realize how hard he had run until he comes to a stop. His racing mind matches his racing heart as he holds Eliott, as Eliott holds him.

“Lucas.” Eliott’s voice is so tired. Lucas hasn’t seen him in months, and he wonders how long whatever’s weighing him down has been doing so. He wants to ease Eliott’s burden, without having to know what it is.

“Are you alright? Are you safe?” Lucas doesn’t know what he’d do if Eliott answers no. He knows where the armoury is— he isn’t the best at wielding a sword, but he would fell a million enemies, if it was for him.

“Yes, Lucas I’m—” With him so close, Lucas can hear the way Eliott’s voice quivers, the way his breathing shakes. “I needed to see you.”

“I’m here,” Lucas says, avoiding the way his cheeks warm by pulling Eliott closer, by combing his fingers gently through his hair, “I’m here.” His mother is talking to one of the hands who accompanied her. He looks over Eliott’s shoulder at her.

“Mother, is it alright if he stays?” He asks, though he’s sure that he’s far too old for such a thing. He may only be a prince, but he’s seventeen, he’s an adult.

But, “Of course, sweetheart.” She says, nonetheless. “I’ll send a messenger to your parents, letting them know that you’re safe,” His mother turns, facing Eliott. “And I’ll get everything together to accommodate an extra person, for the next couple days.” Lucas softens, thankful. “Eliott— both of you, get some rest, please.”

“We will. Goodnight.” Lucas’ mother walks off, satisfied. He then turns to Eliott, curled in on himself, his eyelids heavy. “Come on.” Just as they start up the steps, Lucas pauses. “Not that I’m not happy to see you, of course I am. But what are you doing here? In the middle of the night, no less?”

Eliott thinks, for a long time. Lucas has never seen him spend so much time weighing his words.

“I’ll tell you, I want to tell you everything, but can we just—” He puffs out a breath. “Can we rest, for now?”

“Of course.” They ascend the stairs as the servants extinguish the lanterns, the darkness climbing up behind them.

---

When Lucas opens his eyes, it’s still dark, and he is alone in bed. He thinks that Eliott’s arrival may have just been a dream, before he turns and sees him sitting on the window sill. He’s looking out over the land, one leg hugged to his chest, the other hanging off the ledge, his toes brushing the floor as he swings his leg back and forth gently. The moonlight sets his jawline aglow. It makes him look so ethereally beautiful that Lucas’ breath leaves him, that all he can do is stare. Lucas averts his eyes on instinct, when Eliott looks at him— but when Eliott’s gaze stays, he can’t help but look back.

“I was getting married.” Eliott says, looking back out the window.

“What?” Lucas asks, his voice heavy and raspy with sleep. Surely he didn’t hear Eliott correctly, surely—

“That’s why I’m here.” Eliott says, his voice steady enough to scare Lucas, just a little. “I was getting married, and I left my wife-to-be at the altar.” Eliott looks out the window, then down in his lap.

“You— Eliott, you what?” That spurs Lucas out of bed. He wants to get close, but he’s hesitant, during a moment like this. “What the hell were you thinking?! Leaving a crown-princess? At the altar?! That’s—” Treason, he nearly says, though he’s not sure about the nuances of such a matter. Leaving anyone at the altar, though, crown-princess or not… it’s not good.

Eliott’s lips press together to form a tight line, “It’s… a long story.”

And so, Lucas pushes away the fatigue pulling at his his eyelids, ignores the way sleep still makes his limbs drag, and sits across from Eliott on the windowsill.

“I’ll listen, for as long as it takes.” He says, and counts the way Eliott’s features seem to soften, almost imperceptibly so, as a little victory.

“I didn’t tell you this then, but it started on my nineteenth birthday. After all the festivities had ended, and I was back with my family, they sat me down, and my mother said that it was about time I got married.” Lucas can tell that looking back on this isn’t easy for Eliott, and he’s not sure which he wants more— to know, or to comfort. Because he’s not sure he can do both, right now. “They had gotten married when they were both seventeen, she had said that they had wanted me to get married then, but they allowed me a few years of lee-way. But she basically said, ‘we’ve found a princess, not too far off from here,’ and they had arranged a marriage for me.” Lucas is shocked. He’s shocked less so at the notion of Eliott being part of an arranged marriage— it happens to princes all the time, especially those in line for the crown— he’s shocked that he didn’t know about this, about any of it. “And I didn’t want to, right from the beginning. But I went with it, because I felt like I had to, for the good of my parents,” When Lucas looks up at Eliott, Eliott is looking beyond him, looking through him. “for the good of the kingdom… And it worked. For a while.” Lucas wants to get closer, to take Eliott’s hands in his, to kiss them softly, to pull him in, hold him close again and never let go. “We met a few times, she was smart, witty… This girl, I really started to feel like it could work, like we could fall in love, live happily ever after, you know?” Lucas nods, thinking of someone as smart as Eliott, someone as witty and light and enamouring as he is.

He can’t.

“—But then things started to go all circular, repetitive. It was the same stuff: the same problems, over and over.” Eliott pauses, and Lucas— unsure of whether or not he’s waiting for a response, breathes out a quiet ah. “She could never lose an argument. And the arguments grew more and more frequent. Especially over the wedding.” Which I didn’t even want to have in the first place is left implied. With every step of the story, every brushstroke of the bigger picture, Lucas only grows more horrified for him. “It became more and more apparent to me that I didn’t want to marry her. I couldn’t.” The way Eliott shakes his head, the way his voice has gone soft again, weak— it sounds as if he’s about to cry. “I couldn’t deal with that for the rest of my life. But it was too late. The wedding was scheduled, it was only a few weeks away, and I felt more trapped than ever. Everything was set in place, there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t bear the thought of disappointing anyone.” Lucas can picture it now, in terrifying clarity— Eliott, stood at the altar, overwhelmed, trapped. Lucas sees himself there, too— with all of the knowledge of the situation that he now has, with all of the hurt that Eliott feels. Trapped, in a completely different way.

“—And so I let it happen. Right up until the procession.” “I was stood there, waiting for her. And then I saw her. She was beautiful in her dress.” Eliott smiles, then. There’s something in it— affection, fondness, but not love. “But it was then, that I realized. Leaving would be letting everyone else down, but staying would be letting myself down. And so I ran. I ran as far as I could bear, and then I hid, for a while.” When they were little, Lucas would hear stories of Eliott hiding himself away. It was years before he was shown Eliott’s hiding place, his safe haven. But from that day on, when they hid they did so together.

“—I came back to my parents, I told them that I couldn’t marry her, that I wouldn’t. I demanded to set out the circumstances of my eventual marriage myself. Told them I wanted to marry someone that I choose, and that I wouldn’t take no for an answer. They ultimately accepted— though not without demanding that I pen a lengthy apology to the girl I almost married.” Lucas can tell that Eliott’s story is effectively over, by the way his shoulders relax, by the way he looks over to Lucas at long last. “But it’s worth it. After nearly a year, I feel free again.” They’re quiet for quite some time after that.

“Eliott,” Lucas is speechless, sick. On instinct, he wants to apologize. I’m sorry, he wants to say, I’m so sorry you had to go through this, I’m sorry I didn’t know, I’m sorry I didn’t do anything— “Why did you go through all of that by yourself?” Lucas leans forward, taking one of Eliott’s hands in his. “I could’ve… Been there, for you. Why?”

“Because it wasn’t your battle to fight, Lucas.” Eliott’s voice bites, but only in the manner of a wounded animal, scared to reveal its wound. He’s calm again, just as quickly as he lashed out “Because I didn’t want to burden you.” He squeezes Lucas’ hand gently, drawing circles in Lucas’ hand with his thumb.

“Everything is harder on your own.” He stands up, offering a hand to Eliott. When he takes it, he leads him back to the bed. “A healer told me that, once.” Lucas sits down, and Eliott beside him. Silence creeps out between them for a beat. “Eliott, do you remember, when we were younger, and you said that you knew I’d always be by your side?” Lucas watches as his gaze drifts off elsewhere, assumedly remembering their early days together— and Lucas lets himself remember, too— I’ll never not want you by my side, and do you trust me, and nothing is more important to me than you. In times of trouble, Lucas remembers Eliott’s words from all those years ago— he just hopes that they’re helpful for Eliott, too.

“Yes.” When Eliott says it, it’s only a breath, barely there. Lucas could very well have missed it, had he not been paying attention.

But with Eliott, he’s always paying attention.

“I want to, I will, but you have to let me.” When their eyes meet, Eliott’s are so big, so blue. “I want to be there for you, always, through everything.” Eliott stares him down silently, to the point where Lucas wavers under his gaze, just a bit. His eyes are wide, his expression unreadable. Before he can ask what’s happening, Eliott’s looking down at his lap, and then back up a moment later.

With tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Eliott,” Lucas is on him in the blink of an eye, pulling him into his chest, “Oh, Eliott.” He can feel Eliott’s shaking breaths, they make his body tremble. In, out; in, out.

And then, all at one, Eliott lets go.

He cries, and he cries. He lets the emotion flow out of him, lets the past year leave him at long last. It’s a floodgate, the way the tears flow— he lets one go and a million more come, unstoppable until there’s nothing left, until he’s weeping softly into Lucas’ shoulder, now soaked. Lucas says nothing, as he holds him. He doesn’t silence, he doesn’t judge— all he does is hold him close and keep him there, for as long as it takes. The night takes his sense of time away— it may have been minutes, it may have been hours— but Eliott’s breathing eventually evens out. Lucas still holds him, though. He keeps him close, until Eliott pulls away himself. When he does, though, their hands are still loosely linked.

“Lucas, I want to tell you something.”

“Of course.” Lucas says, without thinking.

“No, Lucas.” Eliott breathes out a sigh, and Lucas is concerned, at his reluctance. “This something… it’s not like the other somethings.” If Eliott’s just told him all this… Lucas is suddenly unsure that he wants to know what else Eliott has kept from him. “This isn’t just anything— but I need you to promise me, first.”

But it’s Eliott.

And so—

“Anything.”

“I don’t want you to promise, if it’s not something you can keep. If I tell you this, and you don’t feel the same,” Feel the same? Lucas wonders, with a steadily intensifying sickness, in the pit of his stomach. “Because your companionship means more to me than anything that this may change.” He thinks of all of the Lucases and Eliotts that may exist elsewhere, in this world and others. He thinks of all of the things that could be happening to them, the different things that every Eliott, existent in this moment, means.

Lucas is quiet for a long time, then “Yes.”

“Yes?” Eliott asks, and Lucas nods.

“Yes, I promise.”

“I didn’t love her, because I couldn’t.” Lucas only grows more confused. Eliott using cryptic words is nothing new, and Lucas is just as mystified as ever.

“You couldn’t?”

“No,” Eliott shakes his head, and Lucas follows the motion. “Because I was in love with someone else.”

“Oh.” When Lucas laughs, it’s more of a breath than anything else— a quick scoffing sound, there one moment and gone the next. “I can understand why that would create a problem.” All of a sudden, Lucas finds himself looking at the ceiling, at the floor— anywhere but over at Eliott.

But then.

Then—

“You.” Eliott’s voice is calm, soft— but it cuts through the quiet night air. In a breath, the sickness in the pit of Lucas’ stomach is spreading up, sending a tingling throughout his entire torso, because—

“... Me?” Lucas asks, dumbfounded, awestruck. When he finally risks a glance up at Eliott, he finds that Eliott’s gaze is steady on him, steadier than it’s been all night.

“I fell in love with you, not her.” Eliott drags his fingers back and forth across the palm of Lucas’ hand. “I realized it recently, but it happened long ago— I’m not even sure how young we were.” He can only look back up at Eliott when his gaze falls back to his lap again. When Lucas looks at him, though, there’s the smallest of smiles on his face. “But when I realized, it was like a light coming on, like a homecoming.” The way they’re stealing glances is a game of cat and mouse, but this time, Eliott has him trapped— he looks away, briefly, but he can’t for long. He opens his mouth to speak, more than once, but the words won’t come— “Lucas, please say something.”

They won’t come because—

“Eliott, I—” Because it’s been years. It’s been years of Lucas going hot under Eliott’s gaze, to the point where he’s adapted to it, developed an immunity. “I don’t—” Because he dreamed about this moment, then shoved it deep enough within him that he stopped dreaming about it. “This is like a dream—” But still, impossibly, it returns.

“A good dream, or a bad one?” Eliott asks, looking up at him from behind his eyelashes, his face turned downward. Lucas feels himself on a precipice— one that even the thought of approaching terrified him, for so long. But now— now— he lets himself stand on the edge of it, over the great unknown.

As he kisses Eliott, he lets himself fall. He kisses Eliott for every iteration of himself— past, present, future. And Eliott kisses him back, again and again and again. Part of Lucas is waiting to wake up— but with the emotion flowing out of him, all at once— he knows this is real. Even his best dreams weren’t nearly as good as this.

“I was eleven.” Lucas breathes, once they finally part. He doesn’t know when his hands rose to Eliott’s shoulders but he keeps them there, to keep him close. Eliott’s smile in back in full force— for the first time all night, Eliott looks like Eliott again. His eyes are still closed and he looks a bit dazed, as if he’s coming back to himself, and Lucas can’t resist kissing him again. “When I fell in love with you, I was eleven.” He thinks back to then, when everything felt strange and new— especially the warmth in his chest whenever he looked at Eliott, newly tall, suddenly so much more than he was— taller, older, more settled into himself than Lucas could ever be. “When you had grown tall, for the very first time, that’s when I knew.” Now, though, everything is stripped. They’re not two princes, two people at the cusp of their adult lives, so much responsibility, so much to keep up with— they’re just two boys kissing, and kissing, and kissing. “I love you— I have loved you, since then.” Eliott’s eyes are so big, and he is so beautiful, and Lucas can’t resist kissing him. “Ardently.” He says against Eliott’s cheek, “devotedly,” into his jaw.

“For six years.” From Eliott’s tone, he thinks he’s saying it more to himself than anything else, taking it in.

“For six years.” Lucas confirms. Eliott pulls him back in, sliding his arms around Lucas’ waist and pulling him into his lap, just a bit.

“Why would you wait so long?” Lucas can feel Eliott’s lips move as he whispers the question against his skin, his hands roaming all over Lucas’ back. Eliott pulls back, but he leaves their foreheads pressed gently together.

“Because you’re worth it.” He doesn’t even have to think about answering— he lets his heart take over, lets it lay him bare. “Because I knew that, if this was meant to be, then it would be.” He runs his fingers through the hair at the nape of Eliott’s neck. “If the world brought me you as a friend, then I would content myself. No matter how desperately I wanted more.” And wanted more he did. No matter how much time he spent denying it, how vehemently he tried— it’s only ever been Eliott, for him. “Because you’re a gift, no matter how I have you.” Lucas chuckles as Eliott hides his face in the crook of his neck. His face is so warm as it rests there, he wouldn’t complain if they stayed like that forever.

“What if I told you that you can have me in any way,” Eliott says, his breath tickling Lucas’ neck in a way that makes his breath hitch, “every way, that you desire?”

Lucas looks out the window, seeing the beginnings of sunrise, and thinks of all the possibilities, of all the Lucases and Eliotts, all the universes in which they’re together like this.

“Then I would fancy myself the luckiest man in the world,” Lucas says as he pulls Eliott down, their laughter quiet as they kiss again (and again, and again).

a list of prompts under the cut i have gotten so far for mowripro, since people are worried about their asks being eaten (for good reason, since tumblr is broken)

1. @autumnfall23: Slow dancing for the writing prompt thing

1.5. @woefulcas: chippendale au

3. @notfunnydean: Prompt: "Babies" :D 4. Anon: A Prompt: Dean is oblivious to the fact that his next door neighbor is a witch, and his witch’s cat familiar has taken a strange liking to dean. But dean is allergic, shenanigans ensue. (Oblivious!Dean, Familiar!Cas)

5. Anon: Hey a prompt for MoWriPro: "atramentous". It means dark or inky, and originates from the word "atrament". To atrament something was to write it in ink. Idk it's my favorite word so there ya go

6. @foreveranonymousuniverse: “Come to bed” or equally “Come back to bed” (fluff type stuff, pulling, lingering temple/top of head kisses, maybe a little worry for the other person who is working too hard and should, needs, to take a breather)

7. @helianthus21: first of all: congrats on the graduation!!<3 now my prompt is Destiel having to take care of deaged!Sammy and half-forgetting they're not an actual couple with their son in the process

8. Anon: Pirate!au for the prompt game? You're an amazing writer❤️

9. Anon: Hiya! I have a prompt: college au, blowing bubbles & falling in love :) thank u!

10. Anon: morning prompt: subway graffiti

11. @valisandre: Ripple - for MoWriPro

12. @mut305: “Somebody help me damnit. I can’t find the mop bucket!”

13. @randomdestielfangirl: My fic prompt <3 May 15 is my little brother's birthday, so can I get Established Relationship Dean and Cas planning a surprise birthday party for Sam and maybe they have VERY DIFFERENT ideas and can't agree and there's some conflict but it all ends great with rainbows and cake and kisses and Sammy-love!

14. @castiel-loves-dean: Prompt: pretend boyfriends

15. @inacatastrophicmind: For the writing prompt: Dean and Cas having breakfast

16. Anon: hi for your prompt thing! I would love some sort of short au where Dean or Cas is a fan of the other, and the celeb is really smitten with the fan! I think that's a cute premise, no need to do it though, is sorta silly, but was thinking abt it!

17. @thegreyruin: 1) I'm not much, but I'm all I have 2) Being with you never felt wrong. It's the one thing I did right. You're the one thing I did right. ---- just a couple of my fave lines. Not sure how prompty they are!

18. Anon: hiya :) for your morning prompts: I've always wanted to see a scene where Dean has a complete emotional breakdown (basically the walls he built up during all these years of suffering and pain and denial and hopelessness finally collapse, and Dean can't hold all his feelings in any longer) and Cas catches him - literally and figuratively - and that results in their first kiss. don't know if that's stupid idea though... that's why I'm not a good writer I guess. hope you're having a great day 💚

19. @cookie1218: Hi! Congratulations! Im so happy for you to have your degree almost done! I was wondering if you could write for the prompts a scene about dean convincing Cas to go to some sort of con dressed as Kirk and Spock, it would be wonderful. Thank you so much anyway, hope you'll have a wonderful weekend

20. @trenchcoatsandfreckles: Sending you "bucolic" and "bungalow" from the word list you shared - hope that's okay! Maybe dean and cas are new neighbors and get to know each other? (... totally cliché strangers to friends to lovers?) I love that your taking prompts because I love your writing and I hope this prompt is not too boring :)

21. @bend-me-shape-me: hi there you lovely human being, please for the prompts the word ethereal sounds really nice, thank you, ily! ♥️

22. @60r3d0m: dialogue prompt: “you sold your own husband for jellybeans? i wed a fool.”

23. anon: For the prompt thingy: "Please don't leave me."

24. @natmoose: Maybe the trope: de-aged and the word Emollient (A softener). I love your writing :)

25. @marauders-mess: For the Morning Writing Prompts: Destiel with body swap + "I didn't know people could get freckles there", pretty please? Btw, your writing is amazing ♥

26. @jensenckles: for the mowripro; maybe just some fluff college au? my classes are killing me

if your prompt isn’t on here, that means i didn’t get it! feel free to send it again, although i might not be able to get it for a little while:)

#THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE PROMPTS #ily all #mowripro

Fan Fic Ask Meme (self ask edition)

I saw this going around and I figured no one is going to actually respond and send me any of these asks because I have like maybe 2 followers who ever interact with me, but I felt like doing it so I’ll just ask myself all of them. :)

A: How did you come up with the title to "The Best Picture of the Human Soul”?

I wanted an artsy-intellectual title because I felt like it’s a kind of pretentious little story that takes itselt too seriously. It’s about images and soulmates, so I googled picture, soul, and quote, and that’s one of the hits that came up. So it is actually a quote by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein: “The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

Probably all of them. But the one where I consciously put in something from a real-life experience was in “A Capacity for Love” (HP fandom fic). I don’t want to go into detail, but there are characters in the story whose experiences and actions were based on things I had knowledge of in real life.

C: What member do you identify with most?

I am guessing this means which character I identify with most, from the stories I’ve written? Hermione Granger, definitely. From the Sherlock fandom, probably Molly. But I don’t find her an interesting character to write about.

D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?

No, I am not into music in that way.

E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?

The most obvious one of my fics to get a sequel would be “The Way to a Man’s Heart” which would naturally be about Sherlock and John’s wedding.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Nothing specifically comes to mind and I’ve written too many stories to go back through them all and find anything. I think I’m pretty good at dialogue in general and enjoy writing it more than the prose in between. When I write dialogue, I really try to hear the characters/actors saying the words, with inflection and volume changes and speech patterns all of that. I think that makes it work well and feel real, rather than just me putting my own thoughts into the characters’ mouths.

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Mostly from start to finish, but I usually have one or two key scenes that I may jump ahead and write because I want to capture them in the moment. But the problem is, I will always end up having to rewrite them anyway because there are details that come up as I write that I hadn’t anticipated, that will need to be worked in.

H: How would you describe your style?

I have no idea. Probably too wordy.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

For reading, really raunchy PWP. And I suppose for writing as well. I do feel some residual puritanical guilt when I write a PWP.

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].

I’ve seen other authors say they don’t want to answer this because they don’t think it’s fair or something, which I don’t understand. Why not? Anyway, an alternate ending for “Revenge Averted”, which is itself an alternate ending of VizardMask’s fic “Best Served Hot”, would be that Sherlock and John come up with a plan to neutralize the threat from Mary without John having to go back to her.

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

Sticking to the ones I’ve actually written, probably “A Capacity for Love”, which shows the aftermath of Snape raping Hermione from both of their perspectives. Usually we only see things from the victim’s perspective in those kinds of stories, but I wanted to get into Snape’s head as well. In the Sherlock fandom, I guess “More Earth Than Fire”, which deals with the death of John and Mary’s baby.

L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

It’s constant. I never just write a whole first draft, then go back and revise. I re-read and revise every single sentence constantly. Like even writing this entry, I have already gone back through all of my previous responses a couple of times, re-reading and adjusting things. I’ll write a few sentences, then re-read everything from the beginning. Then write a couple more. It makes for extremely slow progress but it’s how my brain works. I can’t leave something untended.

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

I have a couple of things that I’ve started that I’ll probably never finish. The one that’s furthest along is a Sherlock/Whisky Tango Foxtrot crossover. I also have an ACD werewolf fic that I started years ago for some Halloween exchange that’s pretty far along. I have probably around 10 other stories as well, in stages from vaguely sketched out to fully outlined to having a couple of scenes written.

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

All of my WIP’s! Probably especially the WTF crossover. I really want to read that one. ;)

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?

I mean, if it’s a fic, then the characters obviously. They are already a given. I’m going to write about Sherlock and John (or whoever my current muse pairing is). I have some original story ideas too, and there it’s the plot that comes first. I have a harder time coming up with original characters, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever write one of those stories.

P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)

I like to plot out the entire story before I start writing so that I’m sure I won’t get stuck anywhere. Of course then as I write, things happen that necessitate adjustments to the outline. But yeah, mainly architect because my biggest fear when writing is getting stuck.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations?

I have seen some really brilliant products come out of collaborative writing projects, so clearly some people work really well that way. However, I don’t think I could ever be part of a collaboration, other than as a beta reader.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

Every time I read a text, it influences me. I don’t have anyone whose style I consciously attempt to emulate, or who I aspire to be like, though.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

For reading? All the favs: Fake relationship, only one bed, roommates.

For writing, I have a soft spot for being in a relationship already without realizing it.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

When I see Coffee Shop AU or Teen AU in the tags of a fic, it turns me off. Although I’ve read quite a few really good ones in those categories, so it’s not like they’re an automatic nope. Just, they make me wary.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

There are too many to name and I don’t want anyone to feel left out. But basically, there are certain authors who I know will always deliver top-quality writing and a highly satisfactory reading experience, regardless of subject matter, fandom, genre, or pairing.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Too hard to choose a specific one. Basically anything by any of those authors referenced in the previous question!

W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?

I have a hard time writing to prompts given by other people. So I guess I prefer general ones that I can take in my own direction rather than a tailor-made commission.

X: A character you enjoy making suffer.

Sherlock and John both do it so beautifully. :)

Y: A character you want to protect.

Children, I guess. I have a hard time seeing a child character be hurt.

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?

I am okay with it if it is a natural death, such as occurs in retirement fic. I don’t see the point of it in other situations. The whole point of reading fan fiction for me is to have a happier conclusion than in the original.

Anyone who wants to do the thing, feel free to copy and share your own answers! And of course, if anyone wants to ask me one of these about another fic than the ones I chose, please do. :)
