Queer Adult SFF Books Bracket: Round 1
Book summaries and submitted endorsements below:
Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Two top women gladiators fight for their freedom within a depraved private prison system not so far-removed from America's own.
Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" Stacker are the stars of Chain-Gang All-Stars, the cornerstone of CAPE, or Criminal Action Penal Entertainment, a highly-popular, highly-controversial, profit-raising program in America's increasingly dominant private prison industry. It's the return of the gladiators and prisoners are competing for the ultimate prize: their freedom.
In CAPE, prisoners travel as Links in Chain-Gangs, competing in death-matches for packed arenas with righteous protestors at the gates. Thurwar and Staxxx, both teammates and lovers, are the fan favorites. And if all goes well, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. As she prepares to leave her fellow Links, she considers how she might help preserve their humanity, in defiance of these so-called games, but CAPE's corporate owners will stop at nothing to protect their status quo and the obstacles they lay in Thurwar's path have devastating consequences.
Moving from the Links in the field to the protestors to the CAPE employees and beyond, Chain-Gang All-Stars is a kaleidoscopic, excoriating look at the American prison system's unholy alliance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration, and a clear-eyed reckoning with what freedom in this country really means.

The Nightrunner series (Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness, Traitor's Moon, Shadows Return, The White Road, Casket of Souls, Shards of Time) by Lynn Flewelling
Endorsement from submitter: "First genre books I read with queers! Written in the early 90s, so has era typical language. I would say this book has romance in it, but is primarily a political intrigue fantasy. I say this is a positive!!! I don't mind a romantasy, but I tend to find them focusing more on the romance than the fantasy, this has both without one getting lost in the background details! Alec and Seregil will steal your hearts and probably any juicy gossip you have lying around!"
When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be… Luck in the Shadows.

Hi, I want to read some DC comics about how Harvey transformed from former DA to the criminal mastermind who ruled half of Gotham's Underworld (against the Penguin). I've already read/seen: Two-Face: A Celebration of 75 Years Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory (1999) Batman '89 Batman: The Animated Series Batman: The Audio Adventures
Any other reading recommendations? Thanks a lot for your help. :)
So you're looking for origin stories, or at least ones that shed more light on Two-Face's origin? Well first off, I'm glad you read the 75th Anniversary collection, because that has three of my very favorites: the original Harvey Kent trilogy from 1942-43, the Grace Dent story from Secret Origins Special (1989), and "Eye of the Beholder" from Batman Annual #14 (1990).
Besides those, and the ones you've listed, here are a few others to check out. Some are great, some are mixed bags, and some are downright lousy.
First and foremost, I STRONGLY recommend the 1989 Batman newspaper comic strip, which I loved so much that I posted the whole two-year saga on its own tumblr account. You can start from the very beginning right here, but keep in mind that Harvey's storyline--which runs all the way to the very last strip--doesn't really start until the second arc.
Next, Batman: Dual to the Death by Geary Gravel is a YA novelization of the BTAS origin, seamlessly combined with the two-part Batgirl origin episodes. It improves on both the animated versions in small but crucial ways, and it's highly recommended for BTAS fans. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find.
On a similar note, Peter David's movie novelization of Batman Forever can be found more easily, either in used book form or on the Internet Archive, and it's absolutely worth reading. I love the movie of Batman Forever, but it's objectively a terrible take on Harvey. The novelization adds SO MUCH, including an original prequel scene with D.A. Harvey Dent, and his ending is far more satisfying.
Cartoon Network's CGI animated series Beware the Batman (2013) also features a series-long origin arc for Harvey Dent, but it's one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the character. He's a petty, selfish, ambitious little prick, an absolute scumbag, completely devoid of depth or tragedy. Thankfully, few have seen this arc, since the majority of Harvey's episodes were never aired after the series was cancelled, but they're all available to watch for those morbidly curious to see just how badly someone can screw up Harvey as a character.
"The Big Burn" from Batman and Robin, vol 2 #24-28 (2014), also collected in B&R volume 5. After the huge DC reboot, this was Harvey new origin, which tried some very different things with him. A VERY mixed bag, but one that ended in a hugely exciting way that makes the whole thing worth reading. Follow it up with its sequel, "Ugly Heart," from Detective Comics #1020-1024, collected in Detective Comics Vol 5: Joker War.
Finally, watch the entirety of the recently-released/cancelled CW series Gotham Knights, with Misha Collins performing a surprisingly rich, interesting, and flawed Harvey Dent origin arc. The show got a lot of shit, some of it undeserved, but Collins' Harvey was an intriguing surprise, and I fear nothing we see from Harvey in any Reevesverse media will bring half as much care and interest to Harvey as GK did, for better or worse. All 13 episodes can be watched for free on CW Seed, region permitting.
EDIT: Oh right also the Telltale Batman video game! I haven't actually played that yet because I know enough about what happens and the illusion of meaningful choice indicative of Telltale games that I just don't feel like putting myself through that. People seem to like it a lot, though! I just... don't put me in a position of choosing to save either Harvey or Selina if you're just going to cheat and have him go evil anyway.

For the choose violence ask game - 1, 12, 18, 19, 22, 23
oh bestie you did not come to PLAY with this list okay okay okay I dont even know what i'm about to get myself into but okay!
The character everyone gets wrong and why?
I mean..we all know i have really strong opinions on the baby careers from the 74th, but a lot of that is based on extrapolation. So, instead, I'm going to go with my queen Enobaria. Yes. She has her little shark teeth. Yes she is a D2 victor. But she also is the only one left. Enobaria, we can assume, loses all of her friends either in the games or in the war. Of course people like to see her as crazy and blood thirsty, and yes I truly believe she could have won the Quarter Quell. That being said..when we see her in the end of Mockingjay she is the only Career left. period. And when she votes yes to the games it's like..not this over enthused yes because she loves the hunger games..it's let them know how it feels. Let the Capitol know how it feels to train and die and watch the children you mentor die and the friends you've made die and be abused and it's not about the glory of the games. It's about let everyone know how to feels to be the victor, to be the mentor, to be the person who watches someone they knew even briefly die. I love you Enobaria you will always be famous.
12. The unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
I have written 200k words on unpopular characters that people should like more so this one doesn't seem like i'll do much difference in answering but I'm going to go with Glimmer. Glimmer is a teenage girl who is immediately represented as a sex object. That is how she is presented; sexy. She's a teenager, literally no older than 18. Yeah we can hate her for whatever reason we want (which we don't really have a reason to) but I think it's important to recognize why she exists within the story and what I think the bigger point of her is and it's to represent how the capitol views them. She is, to me, very clearly a parallel to Cashmere who we know was a full fledged sex trafficking victim by snow. That is VERY Clearly what he fate would have been. She was a child being sold as a sex object so she could possibly survive, baby girl they could NEVER make me hate you!
18. It's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on..
Enobaria, period.
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
I have absolutely no shame/horror/etc over the fact I like anyone, I quite literally run a blog titled "mother of all careers apologists". We know who I like. We know I like Cato and Clove and Glimmer and Marvel. This is not news. I am not ashamed. It is my entire brand at this point.
22. Your favorite part of canon everyone else ignores?
I actually answered this one yesterday right here, it's the fact Peeta and Katniss come out of the arena with physical impairments and that Peeta is an amputee and that largely influences his story in Catching Fire in the arena!
23. Ship you've unwillingly come around to?
Again...I don't really think I came around to anything unwillingly. I run a Clato blog. I wrote Cashbaria into my stories. I consider myself a pioneer of Glimmer/Marvel shipping territory. If anything I think I make other people come around to ships against their will. Welcome to the fun house of career x career shipping that crosses district lines and weasels into everyone's hearts.
Thank you friend!!!

1, 2, 3, 4, 15, and 18 for the most recent ask game!
the character everyone gets wrong
I mean, do I even need to say it? Elena Gilbert. Constantly being burnt at the pire of internalized misogyny and media illiteracy. I maintain that not everyone has to like/stan Elena but if I could hear one justification for it that wasn't 'she hurt my favorite grown adult teenage baby boy' that would be nice.
but since that's the obvious answer I'll also add a slightly more controversial one which is Jennifer Humphrey, another unfortunate victim of the babygirlification of trash boy r*pists and some unfortunate writing. I will forever maintain that nothing she ever did was worse than anyone else on GG and she will forever deserve better, both on the show and in the fandom.
a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
okay, this one I'm actually struggling with because (obviously if we're dealing with favs we're dealing with Elena or Elijah) and I can see them both playing both sides on this tbh,,, however-,
for humour's sake,
Elijah always bottoms and Elena always tops. He's old, he's tired. Elena deserves to have some control for once. Getting daggered by her in season two really turned him on. For whatever reason, he's down horrendous and on his knees. Eats pussy with every meal. (plastic crown Elijah in particular).
(i don't have one for three sorry)
what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?
literally anything, this blog is my house, and if I don't like the energy I block. I honestly think it's the best way to navigate the internet. I always think when people send anons trying to argue with me about takes or posts I've made it's like,,, you know you don't have to see my posts right? like, the tvd fandom is a hellscape, we're always going to have discourse. why waste time crying in my inbox when I'm obviously not going to care? as if you calling me a cunt is going to magically make me a d*lena stan.
that one thing you see in fanart all the time
tbh, I'm not the best at seeing fanart. I think it's amazing because I don't have an artistic bone in my body so whenever I see it I'm usually just like 'aww slay'
that being said I see a ton of whitewashing, particularly in book fanart which is like,,, why? no? stop?
it’s absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…
JEREMY. ngl i've grown a new appreciation for him recently and I honestly think he deserves more appreciation. (particularly season one. he deserved to keep his emo era #freetvdmenfromflannels).
but fr he was the most realistic character on that show in s1, just wanted to be topped by his goth vampire girlfriend and he's so valid for that.
also, Bonnie Bennett. Just,,, everything about Bonnie Bennett. Bonlena deserves so much more love, they have such a complicated misunderstood love for each other that often gets sidelined by fandom wars. (you can love more than one woman at a time I promise the world won't explode). Also Bonnie and Kol or Klaus (I refuse to be silenced they would've slayed and if you disagree just dig down and ask yourself why that's so unthinkable if you have no problem shipping Elena or Caroline with them)
thank you so much for the questions @amandamonroe <3333

DAY 5: JANUARY 31, 2024 (i got to start reading more consistently.)
STATS: read for ~3 hrs pages read: 1052-1359. 307 pgs. act 4! slur count: 8 + 1 = 9 (john r slur on 1 of his defaced posters) silly count: 11 + 0 = 11 (i might have missed some. to be honest) piss count: 1/3
THOUGHTS: today started with john's alchemizing spree! i really like the alchemy even though i can NOT understand how the binary and codes quite work. john does though. johns really smart about alchemy in sburb specifically. this section also has a lot of funny john faces. i love this guy
FINALLY the end of dave and bros strife! jesus! been 2 sessions sicne it started! i said this last time but i think its SO INTERESTING how bro doesnt cut or stab dave in any way during the strife. they clash and lil cal gets torn up and daves sword gets 1/2ed and daves SYMBOL gets scratched but when hussie shows dave after the fight hes winded and bruised and battered but hes NOTABLY NOT BLOODY! obviously being bruised cus youre FIGHTING! WITH YOUR DAD! is bad and your dad (bro) is a criminal but. man. how much restraint was bro USING. to be SO PRECISE! did he have to choose between slashing dave and slashing cal in that split second? why else would he possibly have slashed cal? for paradox reasons? i really like dirk strider
the unofficial homestuck collection website is bugging out SO BAD for me. for so many flashes today the music just did not play. it SUCKS! but its fine i just play the music in another tab. i hope they fix that but i know its not priority
i really like the few dave logs i read today. dave is sooooo sad puppy on the other side of a cracked door that sees you and wants to get in the room but cant figure out how to push open the door so he just whines. "hello" "what are you doing" "man where are you" "are you there" he is so cute. in contrast the other dave log today was DAVE AND TAVROS!!!! HOORAY FOR TAVROS! and dave in this one is really funny hes so nonchalant and like "no man. if you want to have sex with a 13 yr old boy okay dude. im on board. time and place." and tavros is like UM! NO! IM GOOD! HAHA! }:) ! they are so funny. the striders are SO internet troll. dave does it flawlessly
KANAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE KANAYA! SHES MY FAVORITE TROLL! shes so awesome in the kanaya/rose log she is so funny. start talking to this girl like "humans cant understand time travel when its really so simple youre all kind of dumb" and ending with "hey we should be friends". i literally love her
EXILES! not much happened with the exiles. introduced to aimless renegade. what a cop. pa harley heart! thanks for your guns pa!
THE FLASH WHEN ROSE ENTERS THE GAME IS SO COOOOOL!!!!!!!!! i really really like it unfortunately the sound didnt work so all the beats didnt hit quite right but they hit ENOUGH. SO COOL! I LOVE ROSE!!!! theres so much going on all the time for that girl. i love you rose
INTERMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really like the intermission i think its so fun trying to parse what the hell is happening. i have GOT to read problem sleuth because so many of the things i find funny are straight up just problem sleuth bits
hussie averting the readers expectations with the like You have a deck of cards. ==> play solitaire With what cards? Dumbass? Fuck off. You only have your WAR CHEST. i think this is hussie like softdropping his rivalry with his audience. it starts with silly banter and then hes like im going to make a character representing the fandom and im going to kill her off (calliope)
the felt are SO COOL! if anyone knows all the pun names for them lmk. i only know a few obvious ones.
the intermission is SO gory. theres so much blood and death and guns and knives. like ok dude i get youre in mafia gangs or whatever but cool it on the blood and yucky faces! yeesh! there is also more crude jokes in it than normal i think. maybe cus these are real adults with pornography in their briefcases than like 13 yr olds. "jack king off" "you beat it(your heart) pretty often" "fist full of penis" etc
you kjnow what drives me crazy. the ACTUAL REAL TIMELINE of the intermission. or at least what it means for the rest of the comic. obviously the intermission is foreshadowing (esp when slick gets his eye and arm cut off; mentioning lord english; etc) but like. its MORE. when i first read homestuck i was under the impression that the intermission was just some other timeline in some universe. granted i dont remember slicks eye and arm getting nixed or karkat vantas reveal or lord english mention or anything that foreshadows anything. but NO! its NOT some other timeline! but it IS another universe. its ALTERNIA!!!!!!!!!!!
the story of jack noir (spades slick) as i know it is as follows: jack noir spawns in derse ==> commits a crime (probably shittalking the queen) ==> gets exiled to... um. somewhere. ==> i assume he meets karkat here? and stabs him. and karkats blood is revealed and then theyre friends ==> slick (now scurrilous straggler) is left on the green moon? exiled in rags ==> he builds a city ==> the felt's mansion is there also. they form gangs and become rivals ==> intermission starts; midnight crew infiltrates lord english's lair to get the vault prizes ==> slick goes in the vault and begins commanding karkat. if im wrong about any of this correct me im so curious
i really like clubs deuce and diamonds droog. i wish crowbar was in the intermission more. clover is just like nagito komaeda. trace and fin are insaaaane. i wish i knew more about the felt
ACT 4! GAME!!!!! game on lowas. its really cool i didnt get to play it my first readthrough. love the salamanders and love the captchalogue nonsense. it is so fun. thats all for today folks

🗡️💀😈 for the ask game!!! i couldn’t choose so you can pick one if you want (or all :3c)
🗡️ Defend your favorite war criminal (or make them worse - I'm not your mom).
I want you to know this was absolutely agonizing. Like. WHO do I choose. Who indeed....
Anyway, it's Maglor, and I'm making him worse. Now I am not thee esteemed Maglor scholar -- this is @samarqqand, whose phrasing I am borrowing when I say that Maglor's a moral invertebrate. Like. For real. It's overcooked linguine in place of a spine. And I think that specifically is what makes him worse. Fanon likes to characterize him as softer than his brothers (certainly, he wasn't as vocal about certain things as Celegorm and Curufin), but that -- does not make it better. He commits 3 kinslayings. He holds the Gap through the entire Siege; he cleaves to Maedhros at every available opportunity -- damningly, even when he disagrees. If Maglor does not think that there should be a kinslaying at Sirion, he either does not protest, or does protest and is not recorded and then does it anyway. If Maglor is a Soft Boy (TM), if he is only a tender musician, then why would he turn his sword and voice (arguably the greater weapon of the two) against innocent people? And yeah, the folks at Sirion were innocent. I could even argue that Dior didn't deserve what he got, nor did the majority of the people at Doriath! (The first kinslaying is trickier because I cannot point at Maglor and go, yeah, he has a pretty large share of the blame.) He exists in this liminal space between accountability and denial for much of the Silm, one that he is desperately trying to maintain; look at his reign as High King, however brief it was -- he doesn't do anything. Maglor sits there and is paralysed, because all the choices are on his shoulders. He either damns his brother to torment for good or he loses more of his people trying to get Maedhros back. He either leads a charge for the Silmarils like Curufin is maybe advising, like his father would do, or he remains cautious, starts properly settling Beleriand and keeps a watch on Angband while extending diplomatic overtures. And...all we know of his kingship is that Maedhros is chained up. It says a lot, you know? He is consumed by despair, sure, but I tend to read his action of casting the Silmaril away at the end as not like, a plea for redemption, or 'get this away from me, I am above the Oath' or whatever, but as an act of cowardice. He could keep the Silmaril, yes. He could hold to what is left of his family, but then he'd have to face what they became. He could go back to Valinor, even, really take advantage of that pardon (or create one for himself, Silmaril in hand), but then he would have to face what he did. He could (as fans enjoy) even go visit Elros and Elrond in their respective places, or stay at the Havens, or see Celebrimbor (and who is to say he did not, or that these people didn't come looking for him), but...as far as we know, he doesn't. He knows what he did, and I think by the end of the FA, he can no longer justify it, which means that he is incapable of looking at it head on. What else is there to do but fade to a voice in the wind? By that point, I think he knows full well that it doesn't matter if he didn't want to hold the sword, he still killed with it; it doesn't matter if he tells himself that he never made the call, he still went along with it. The everlasting Darkness isn't for him, but he is not brave enough to face going home.
😈 Give the villains some love. Which antagonist is most interesting to you and what about them draws you in?
I mean, Sauron is the obvious answer. The camp, the glamor, the deep, deep tragedy of Silvergifting and the concept of a villain whose initial goal is to order, to put things A Certain Way. The concept of a villain who loses bits of themselves completely and utterly, who is given a chance to repent and who says no. I am also very into Ar-Pharazon these days, but only as he exists in my own head. I fucking love that guy's hubris and his ambition, the two things that make him so great and frankly a bit scary to Sauron that ultimately end up being his downfall -- like, sometimes I stop and I think to myself, damn, did Sauron really need to do that much work to manipulate this guy into trying to get to Valinor and seize immortality? And the answer is...honestly, probably not. Pharazon was terrified of dying, he was flush with hubris, and, well. All he needed was to know that it was an option. I love Akallabeth Numenor generally, though.
Maximum chaos bonus question (💀): You have a "Get out of jail 'Doomed by the Narrative' free" card. Who do you give it to?
Oooooh, this is really, really hard. I honestly think I'd give it to Finduilas. She's not even doomed by her own narrative! She's doomed by Turin's (although to be fair, so is everyone else that Turin meets or so much as looks at.) Plus I'm really fond of the Fin Galad theory.

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....
I don’t mind this question at all :)
Long answer under the cut!
Books:
The Hunger Games Series
The ACOTAR Series
For the Wolf + For the Throne
This is How You Lose the Time War
1984
The Fault In Our Stars
I read fanfic on AO3 about every day, it’s not often I read physical books
Looking at this list, the underlying theme for most of them is romance. I have a preference for fanfics because I can pick characters I already like and choose what I want to read. They have tags for anything and I can pick how long of a fic I wanna read. It’s just convenient and I can do it on my phone so I have reading content anywhere I go!
———
Manga:
Toilet Bound Hanako Kun (this is the only manga set I fully own)
Danganronpa (not just the manga but the game and show too, I love it!!)
Steel Ball Run
Jojolion
Bungo Stray Dogs
Vanitas No Carte
Blue Period
idk if this counts but I read bl manhwa (ex Pearl Boy, Painter of the Night)
I haven’t read a whole lot of manga. Most of what I’ve read has been online. I have a few manga from BSD Beast, Danganronpa, CSM, etc. The only manga I have loved with an absolute passion is TBHK. I am in love with the story and art style so I had set out to collect all the books! I recently just got the last one I needed for my set :)
———
Anime:
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Haikyuu
Bungo Stray Dogs
Chainsaw Man
Demon Slayer
Mob Psycho 100
Banana Fish
Cowboy Bebop
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
Short Romance Animes give me LIFE (ex TONIKAWA, Horimiya, OHSHC, My Happy Marriage)
I have seen a lot of anime so it was very hard for me to not make this list longer. My all time favorite is JJBA. Honestly it has changed my life. It was the first anime I really got into and now everything is a jojo reference. Haikyuu, MP100, Saiki K and Cowboy Bebop are just easy shows to watch. They have good arcs and fun characters but don’t make we want to d!e (I’m looking at you JJK and CSM). Banana Fish is incredibly sad but I simply reject canon events and make my own truth. Actually I do this for just about every show with major character deaths lmao. All of my faves live, says me.
———
Movies:
The Twilight Saga
Anything featuring Steve Carell (esp Get Smart)
Howl’s Moving Castle
The Hunger Games series
The Star Wars Saga
Harry Potter (4th and 7th are my faves)
The Labyrinth
If you take nothing else away from this list, PLEASE watch The Labyrinth! Teenage me had absolute brain rot of David Bowie and his grey leggings (who approved that costume lmao). It is just so fantastical. I wanted to be the goblin queen SO BAD. Anyways, read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and then go see the movie next month!!!
———
TV Shows:
Criminal Minds
The Office
Pretty Little Liars
New Girl
Only Murders In The Building
Outer Banks
Any True Crime Shows
As far as shows go, I either love mindless comedy or crime shows. OMITB is a delightful mix of both.
———
I hope this answers your question!! Feel free to message me with any questions, suggestions or even just to chat :)

16, 17, & 18 for the ask games please 🩷
Hii <3 I still don't have the new emojis but I'm assuming it's that super cool pink heart I really want
16. To tuck into bed. They need a nap
Elrond. I don't think I need to say why. I'd layer so many blankets that he physically can't get up.
17. Who would be fun to go on a road trip with
I think Merry and Pippin would be fun for like 10 minutes, then it's just annoying, so not them
I'd probably choose Emily and JJ from Criminal Minds
18. Who you think of when you hear your favorite song
Do I even need to say it?
My favourite song is The Great War by Taylor Swift and it makes me think of Thranduil
Honorable mentions:
You're Losing Me (Taylor Swift) - Fëanor and Nerdanel
Labour (Paris Paloma) - Sansa Stark, Alicent Hightower

Rules: pick an artist or a band and share your favorite song from each of their albums, then tag some mutuals!
tagged by @batmurdock ; thank you!
i'm doing it. taylor swift discography, let's go. my blog, my fucking rules 😤
taylor swift (2006): cold as you; so, like, girl was 16 when she released this album, and a lot of the songs show it, but i think this one has shades of her later songwriting maturity, and still remains an underrated deep cut on her discography.
fearless (2008): untouchable; so, i know i picked the song on this album that's technically a cover (and actually the only cover she has recorded!). but — i've heard the original song, and while it's good, too, taylor just really makes this song her own. she completely changes the tone, and makes it something special, in my opinion.
speak now (2010): ours; this is just a really sweet little country love ballad. i love it.
red (2012): all too well; red is one of my favorite albums, and there are so many standout songs on here, but i think all too well is just, objectively, a very fine example of songwriting craft. "and you call me up again just to break me like a promise/so casually cruel in the name of being honest", like, still goes hard. come on, even if you don't like her music, you have to admit this!
1989 (2014): clean; i love the simplicity of this song, sonically, but how it's like, anything but simple in message — and it feels like a catharsis. i may have a personal bias for choosing this one, because it got me through a particularly rough time, but.
reputation (2017): dancing with our hands tied; i've long called taylor swift the queen of doomed relationships, but i actually think this is her best doomed relationship song. it just... captures the desperation, the pizzaz. "i'd kiss you as the lights went out/swaying as the room burned down/i'd hold you as the water rushes in" like, whew. this song is why my mattelektra (taylor's version) playlist exists LMFAO
lover (2019): cornelia street; this song is so underrated that it's actually criminal. it's just... such a beautiful portrait of the uncertainty and ferocity of falling in love. DON'T @ ME!!!!!!
folklore (2020): august; this may actually be my favorite song of hers, period. lyrically, this song is beautiful; musically, it fits the vibe that it's trying to convey. it's really just an incredible composition; you just really get transported back to teenage summer love in a wistful way.
evermore (2020): ivy; okay, i love. all of evermore. but i hAVE to pick ivy as my favorite, because i can't not. this song has sapphic vibes all over the place.
midnights (2022): the great war; the metaphor game in the lyrics is off the charts. i love the production.

2, 14, 15, 18, 22 for the violence game?
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
Oh my god okay I can see where the problem lays. I too prefer seeing characters switch, so I'm going to be a Naughty Nelson and switch things up a little. I always see Zaeed depicted as a top, very in control of the situation and a real dominate (hell I perpetuate this myself), but I want to play in the space of him being the bottom. Of Zaeed, for all his bravado and temperament, after yelling at Shepard for letting his revenge against Vido go tits up, finally gets what's coming to him.
Shepard comes into Zaeed's room and pushes him down with a snarl. "You think you have the rights to call the shots outside this room? Out on the field you are my bitch, got it?"
I'm quickly losing sight of the original point, but renegade Shepard fucking that old man with a gun. Why hasn't BioWare answered any of my calls?
14. that one thing you see in fics all the time
Any time I venture out of my specifically curated fic circles I tend to see my faves (re: Kaidan and Carth) as the whiny butt of a joke, or being written off as these nobody bitch boys and it's like. Okay I get it. Bye.
15. that one thing you see in fanart all the time
White Kaidan. I'm definitely guilty of perpetuating this, and of course BioWare is big on whitewashing their own characters, but I would just love to see more of ME3 Kaidan with his ME1 skin tone.
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...
Not that the fandom has a lot to go on in the first place, but I want to know more about the supposed bird people that were just starting to get their space legs right before the reaper war. All that's known about them is that the Asari attempted contact with them. I might be misremembering, but come on!!! Literal bird people!! Shut up with calling turians bird people because there are (probably) actual bird people!!
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
I gotta circle back to those bird people. I went on the wiki real quick, they're the Raloi, and they withdrew back to their home planet and destroyed all their satellites when the Reapers came. And they have to wear environment suits when engaging with other races like the quarians. I just think they're really neat is all...

Ahhh, I wanna ask all of the questions for the ask game! XD But for now, how about: 1, 7, 18, 22
Choose Violence asks
the character everyone gets wrong
This is a LOT for Star Wars 😂 Low-hanging fruit here is Anakin. I get annoyed when he’s painted as an innocent victim at the hands of the cold and uncaring Jedi, or the opposite end of the spectrum where Anakin was just plain evil and never should have had an opportunity to turn back. The second one is an issue I have with fandom at large, really.
Part of what’s kept me from writing my MCU-ish Episode III AU is I don’t want to deal with everyone telling me I got Anakin wrong. Even if I did get him wrong 🤣 I just don’t need the drama.
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
I get irritated with how people act about Obi-Wan and Boba Fett sometimes, but it doesn’t make me hate the characters. I don’t hate any Star Wars characters, as I think about it.
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...
This fandom doesn’t sleep on much. A couple of years ago I would have said the incredibly crackish yet highly plausible political romance between Mando and Bo-Katan. Those floodgates are wide open now though 😂
I haven’t been active in the fanfic side of TCW for awhile, but there was rather a dearth of post-Umbara stories. I had one in progress that I lost in my computer crash and want to resurrect but I can’t bring myself to write it again yet. Heavy angst sometimes wears me out before I can finish it.
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
Uhhhhh. Hm. I’m not sure I have a favorite part that everyone ignores for Star Wars.
I do think Bail and Obi-Wan’s bromance/teamwork is underrated, but even canon kinda ignores that and the books about it are Legends now. This would be a big part of that Episode III AU if I ever wrote it.

1. the character everyone gets wrong
already answered!
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
ooooh. hm. honestly? this is ~mean but like. most dsmp characters are sexist. they're LGBT-positive but in a way where they're redditors and not tumblrinas. yk. as such i am picky about my queer headcanons. (less picky than i was in mdzs fandom! but still picky.) it's like. totally valid for ppl to go "this sucks and in my writing/art they will be unsexist and queer and knowledgeable about queer issues bc that's what sparks joy for me". i have enjoyed lots of writing/art--especially art--tht does this. but also. mreh. idk. also as mentioned in my answer to question one everyone is wrong about everyone's characterization all of the time.
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...
BADBOYHALO. main character of season 3. imo. "the main character of the dsmp is tommy" "there is no main character" you are all ignoring the TRUTH which is BADBOYHALO. he just wants skeppy back. he feels so guilty. he's afraid of dream. he's helping dream escape. he's sneaking dream sandwiches. he kills skeppy. skeppy kills him. they love each other. everything they do is for each other. they're bickering about skeppy's building skills. they haven't talked about their issues. he's afraid of the egg. he loves the egg. he's jealous of the egg. he's holding the first real server-wide event since l'manberg. he killed foolish. he's building an entire jungle in foolish's summer home as a prank. they haven't talked about it either but foolish understands and forgives him. he's a prison guard for sam. he locked sam in an obsidian box to try and mind control him until sam resorted to autocannibalism. they aren't talking about it. he asks sam if dream is being tortured and sam lies to him. the egg is back. sapnap is his son and/or soup. sam bucket is there. watch folding chair
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
PET WARS........... i care so much about the pet wars. no one cares about the pet wars as much as i do it's genuinely tragic. care about the pet wars with me boy!!! anyone who cares about sapnap should be legally obligated to care at least 50% as much as i do about the pet wars. like they're important to fundy and niki and tommy and dream (& to a lesser extent techno) as well but they're SO important to sapnap's entire character!!!! cmonnnnnn guys you want to care about the pet wars sooooooooo badddddddd. all my other favorite parts of canon are very #basic and not very ignored but the pet wars r genuinely underappreciated imo. oh also a lot of niki pov.... niki pov of doomsday is one of my favorite doomsday povs if not My Favorite and that's speaking as someone who's watched nine different doomsday povs. i'm also really really fond of early l'manberg niki.... this edit of her building her bakery and making a grave for fungi is one of my comfort videos

mars reads too much dreamnotfound fanfiction for their own good
a dreamnotfound fanfic recommendation list by your resident dumbass (me)
this took way to fucking long... i’m tired
below is a (very extensive) list dedicated to all my favorite dnf fics, ranging from quick one shots to 100k+ word monstrosities that devour the storage on my computer, forever incomplete masterpieces to ongoing works of art, you get the idea. i provided links for each fic/series for your reading pleasure. there will be no smutty/nsfw fics on this list, that’s just not my vibe lmao. this list goes in no particular order, and i’ll update it from time to time when i feel like it. now, without further ado, let us begin.
Heat Waves (complete) by tbhyourelame
(wtf else did you expect, looking at a dnf rec list?) amazingly well written, and while it’s not my favorite dnf fic it’s damn near close. in the midst of a brutal heatwave, a suffering dream comes to terms with the fact that he is desperately in love with his best friend. everything i could say about this fic has already been said by nearly everyone who’s read it, so if you haven’t yet caved into the hype, just go for it. you won’t be disappointed.
Gonna be around (completed) by georgescatcafe
(mc irl) my favorite dnf oneshot to date. just read it, i don’t wanna spoil for you :)
Inferno in the Sky (ongoing)by zairielon
(star wars au) an ongoing star wars au currently clocking in at almost 200k words. need I say more? everything about it absolutely slaps, each chapter is amazingly written, and it’s just good. also, can we just appreciate dream and tubbos dynamic in here? 10/10, amazing, must protecc. oh right, a summary: george, an exiled padawan turned engineer, must return to the jedi temple after attacks on it from an unknown assailant threaten the safety of himself and the other jedi.
Like Magic (ongoing) by KangarooKen, NotGra55 (Gra55)
(harry potter au) the unofficial official dnf harry potter au. we watch the young unlikely wizard pair grow up together throughout their years at hogwarts as they battle good old fashioned wizard racism. beautifully written, incredibly fun and suspenseful, and just an overall blast and a half.
GeorgeNotFound, Son of Poseidon, and the League of Minor Gods (ongoing) by Clichewho_69, Cygnvs, Trash_Kinggg
(percy jackson au) percy jackson au? check. “road trip” (technically quest but u get what i mean)? check. enemies to friends to lovers? check. this fic follows the plot of the lightning theif (albeit loosely), but everything is explained enough where you don’t have to read percy jackson to understand what’s going on. basically after moving to the usa, george gets taken to camp halfblood where he learns that a) gods exist. b) he’s the son of poseidon and c) he needs to prove that he didn’t steal zeus’s master bolt.
Protected (completed) by aenqua
(royalty/camelot au) my favorite piece of dnf media of all time. dubbed the official dnf camelot au, where dream is the heir to the throne and george is a servants son with a secret that couldp get him killed. these childhood friends grow up together and learn trust, love, and acceptance. (that summary did not justice to the masterpiece that is this fic) here’s the directors cut
The Hunter (completed) by HederEgo
(mc irl) a choose your own adventure fic with 13 different endings, where dream the hunter must kill george and stop him from beater the ender dragon. enough said.
The official dream team cowboy AU (series)(ongoing) by antsu_in_my_pantsu
(cowboy au) cowboys and outlaws horses and shit. and the big gay. it’s a cowboy au, what else did you expect? fucking yee haw (all seriousness this is a great read, i loved it so so so so much and i can’t wait for the final chapter to release).
This is a Drista moment, let's just accept it (completed) by Qekyo
dnf fic from drista pov. considering its unique perspective, it’s perfectly done. beautifully showcases a sibling relationship through drista and her memories/moments with dream, and it just works, y’a know? also drista supremacy.
Dear Dream (completed) by Qekyo
(wwii au) i don’t cry when watching/reading anything sad. translation: i’m a heartless bitch. however, this fic is the only exception. it caused me to cry so hard my mom walked in my room and asked if i was ok. ‘nuff said.
TECHNOlogical Wingman (completed) by Closeted_Bookworm
techno is the autocorrect ai on dreams phone, and he gains sentience. interesting concept, and the author fucking nailed it. great fic.
It Was Only a Fic (ongoing) by imagineitdear
dream starts reading a dnf fanfic (we’ve all been there buddy).
Teacher’s Pet (ongoing) by niyuha
(teacher au) in which dream is a high school english teacher and george is the new comp sci teacher in room 297.
Saltwater Secrets (ongoing) by earlgay_milktea
(mermaid/high school au) a great example of the shear amount of variety in fics this fandom has to offer. when i started reading dnf fics i would have never thought i’d find one about a mermaid george hopelessly crushing on his human friend, who happens to be his schools star swimmer. yet here i am, and i am far from disappointed.
Smash My Heart (incomplete) by dontrollthedice

00:00:00 (completed) by isleofdreams
(soulmate au) 00:00:00 is the moment you meet your soulmate, as indicated but the clock ticking down on your wrist until the moment you meet. i’m not a fan of soulmate aus; this fic is the exception.
Blue Skies Smilin' At Me (completed) by kivy
(artist au) i don’t usually cry while reading stuff, but this brought me damn near close. george is a painting conservator and chats it is with the ghost of the artist if the painting he is working on. they fall in a love.
Current Location (incomplete) by hendollana
(influencer au) george simps for a hot american instagram model. who knew he’d actually follow back?

The Dream Doll (completed) by PeppDream (Pep_Pizza)
(voodoo i guess) i’m a real big fan of fics with really out there or unique concepts, so naturally this one makes the cut! i really liked it, it’s really sweet and made me think a lot about what matters to me in the world. george finds a strange doll in an antique shop, and would really like to just stuff it in a drawer and forget about it. sadly (?), the doll has other plans.

smart decisions pt. 2
warnings: language, that gif up there, brief alcohol use, dirty talk, smut, 18+
count: 5k+
i hope you enjoy this! sorry it’s not as long as the first part :/ & sorry for posting so much haha i hate tumblr. kinda just wanted to make this more about their first time than anything else, but i hope it’s a decent continuation of where we left off. let me know what you think! kissy :)
gif from @unholyimagines
— — —
“y/n, i swear on my life.” melly’s voice filled your room from where your phone was perched on the counter. “i would let him dick me down.”
you snorted, smearing the eyeshadow on the back of your hand with your makeup brush. looking up into the mirror and lifting your hand, you swiped over your eyelid and blended the final touches out. simultaneously, you spoke, “i don’t particularly think woody harrelson is a top choice, but that’s just me.”
“um, haymitch, hello?” she said, exasperated. “who else am i supposed to pick? gale?”
“he’s a war criminal!” you laughed harder, putting down your hand so you wouldn’t make any striking marks on your face. now that you thought about it, you weren’t even sure how this conversation came about. melly had called to get your ETA for tonight when you’d be meeting your friends for drinks. somehow it evolved into talking about an actor’s striking face.
“liam hemsworth though…” she trailed off, just in time for rafe to appear in the doorway.
“we’re leaving soon. i’ll see you there,” you told melly and hung up a second later. you refilled your makeup bag and zipped it close while rafe stayed where he was behind you. you checked yourself in the mirror, smoothing the top you choose for tonight and making sure you felt comfortable. eyes flicking to rafe through the mirror, his arms were crossed over his chest, biceps poking out through his long-sleeve shirt. a smile was tugging at the corners of his lips as his eyes glided up your legs and back until they met yours.
“what?” you questioned curiously, a warmth settling over you just from the sight of him.
“nothing,” he said. a moment later, he pushed off the doorway and came toward you. you turned just in time for his hands to brush against your jaw. “you look gorgeous.”
your train of thought completely derailed as you soaked in his warmth against you and his mouth kissing yours so deeply. he was intoxicating even without his cologne, the one that he knew you liked. you’d been drooling over it—over him, really—for the past month.
woah, you thought when he pulled away. you blinked a few times to get back to reality, your brain stunned. you probably looked it from the way you could feel his breath blowing against your parted lips.
“you ready?” he asked, brushing his thumb along your jaw.
“yeah,” you whispered, not at all sure if you really even spoke. you swallowed and watched rafe as he smiled, dropped his hands to grab ahold of your own, and lead you out of the bathroom.
it’d been study sessions at his apartment, late night phone calls when classes were clogging up your schedule and his lacrosse practices and games, two-minute conversations in the quad between classes, and very spontaneous dates. he was always adamant about getting all of the work done when you studied together, then fooling around, or just kissing. the phone calls were long and moments of your day that you wouldn’t trade for anything; if school wasn’t a priority, you would spend all night talking to him until sunrise. the usual conversation between classes was strictly for figuring out when you could see each other, or it was planning the phone calls. you’d hold his hand while you spoke, your smile wide and your eyes never straying too far from him. and the dates were usually not at all planned, the only one that had been was dinner after a game. he’d taken you out for mexican food and shared chips and salsa while still coming down from the high of the game. the unplanned ones were your favorite, one spent sitting in his car listening to music and talking, and the other spent exploring a town neither of you heard of.
for only having been a month, you were the happiest you’d ever been in a relationship. rafe wasn’t the type to hover if you were upset just so he could get you to talk things out. you’d actually had a conversation one night about your respective boundaries and you told him how you did better with stress when you were left alone to think things through. you’d rambled a bit about a past experience when you’d shut down when a relative pushed you too far when you were upset. but rafe didn’t mind, he asked for you to continue; he gave you proof that he was listening to every word you said. and it made you feel so relieved in that moment, in his car with music playing quietly from the speakers and crickets chirping outside the cracked windows. you swore you’d never met a more understanding male.
when you arrived at the bar, you searched the sea of bodies for melly and lina. even though you’d spent a lot of time with rafe as of late, you still found time for your friends, which you were glad for. you couldn’t imagine orbiting around rafe all the time, as much as you liked him and craved his touch every second.
you pulled your hand from his after giving it a squeeze and set off across the bar toward a booth where they were. rafe’s teammates were out too, having insisted on drinks and pool after their away game today. you unfortunately missed it due to being holed up in your room, typing away on a paper that was becoming more and more muddled. you swore, every time you opened up the document, you second guessed college.
“holy shit,” you said as you closed the distance to the booth. “is that lina?”
“shut up,” the girl groaned, rolling her eyes to the ceiling. “i know it looks weird, but can we please move on?”
“what do you mean? i think it looks great!” you grinned and slid into the booth beside her, bumping her shoulder on the way. despite her tinge of embarrassment, she smiled and reached up to touch the new piercing in her nose.
“i’m pretty sure no one said you looked ugly with it,” melly spoke around her straw, leaning her elbows against the table.
“you did!”
“what? when?” her palms turned upward, her teeth detaching from the red plastic.
a slow grin came onto your face as you glanced back and forth between them. you never got sick of their bickering and you never would.
rafe came up to the table then, carrying a beer and a drink for you. “here you go,” he said and slid it until it was in your hand.
“thank you,” you smiled against the glass as you took a generous sip. you had to bite your lip from breaking out into a shit-eating smile in front of your friends. it warmed you that he’d taken it upon himself to get your favorite drink without asking what it was. it was disgusting, really, how frazzled you became over it.
“hey,” he greeted your two friends, placing a hand on the back of the booth and leaning toward you. you were about to pat the seat beside you when someone shouted his name over the cacophony of voices. you looked over his shoulder and spotted a group of guys, some of them holding the pool sticks in their hands while chatting.
rafe glanced down at you, his eyes searching your face. “i’m going to go play a game. you all right?”
you nodded, “i’ll be here.”
his hand dropped to your shoulder as he leaned down and pecked your lips. you watched as he walked away, your eyes immediately trailing down his body to his ass. inhaling a deep breath, you could still smell his cologne as it lingered and you smiled to yourself.
“damn,” lina whispered beside you. her eyes were in the same direction as yours were and you nudged her arm playfully.
“i’d share him if i was into that.”
she coughed on air and turned with wide eyes at you. “i-i wasn’t! jesus, i wasn’t—oh my god, y/n.”
you laughed as she put her head in her hands, hiding her stained cheeks. melly swirled her straw in her drink, watching as lina tried to crawl into herself.
“how are things going?” melly asked when lina sat up straight again and took a generous gulp of her drink.
“they’re good,” you shrugged, putting it simply without giving too much away. melly wanted the opposite, which you should have known.
“no, unacceptable,” she shook her head and folded her hands on the table. “we need more than that. this is rafe cameron we’re talking about.”
a laugh shook your shoulders and you bit down on your tongue. your drink suddenly became very interesting as you felt yourself start to blush. images of you and rafe flashed in your head and you absently crossed your legs under the table. “he’s a great kisser.”
lina let out a groan and covered her face once more. “oh my god.”
it was still entertaining to you how obsessed your friends were with rafe. a little less now that you were dating him, but it made you laugh when you thought about how they used to be.
melly waved lina off. “she’s touch starved, ignore her. i’m sure he’s good at other things, huh?”
you grinned and looked in a different direction while sipping from your drink.
“oh god, no answer? i’m right, aren’t i? please, please, tell me i’m fucking right.”
“do not tell us,” lina warned once she recovered. “actually, let’s stop talking about this, yeah? this feels weird now that y/n is dating him.”
lina looked pointedly at melly, her eyes begging and insistent.
“no, it’s not. it’s a mandated conversation about our relationships. every person has this conversation, lina. why don’t you tell us—“
“well, this is torture for me, so i’m going to get another drink,” she said, shuffling closer to you so she could get out. “oh, look! topper’s here.”
you stood and let her out, sitting again and watching as she disappeared between patrons.
“fancy that,” melly shook her head, bringing the straw to her lips as she watched after lina. “she’s got it bad.”
“no!” your eyes flew to topper in the crowd, then to lina’s retreating back, then finally to melly. “you’re kidding. when did that happen?”
“it’s been happening since forever, she just refuses to admit it. all those long nights at study group,” she drawled. “topper is a good one though.”
you hummed in agreement as your eyes found your friends again. a grin smacked onto topper’s face when he saw lina and not long after, his arms wrapped around her. you’d have to mention it to rafe later.
as drinks came and went, and you took two trips to the bathroom, you delved into a little game of pool. you had to beg melly to play after dancing. you didn’t mind being her partner, especially when a popular song came on and you’d stared at her in bubbling excitement and shouted the lyrics at the top of your lungs.
one game turned into two then it was back to dancing and sweating to the point that you’d resorted to holding your hair up out of your face. it truly was trying times when you didn’t have a hair tie.
it was just after ten as you slid your phone back in your pocket and ordered another drink. one of the guys on rafe’s team opened a tab for everyone in your group, which was surprising to you, but you were fully taking advantage of it. if worst came to worst, you pay him back.
thanking the bartender, you headed back to the pool tables. you’d carved a spot out for yourself right in the corner, lina talking animatedly to topper. now that you’d seen them together firsthand, you couldn’t help but think that they’d be cute together.
smiling to yourself, you took a sip and let your eyes wander over to the booth across the room. the other half of the large group was seated there and as you sneaked a peek of rafe sitting and drinking his beer, you felt a rush of warmth swallow you. all he was doing was sitting and talking with his friends, but he looked good. maybe it was the drinks you’d consumed causing you to think that way, but—no. if you were sober, you’d be thinking the exact same thing and probably feeling the same way. rafe gave you shivers without even looking at you and the sensation burning a hole in your lower stomach was evidence enough of how badly you wanted him.
it wasn’t even physical, per se. you wanted him in every possible way. you wanted him to look at you and smile and think you were his greatest choice, his greatest priority. fuck, he was your greatest choice.
christ, maybe it is the alcohol.
having rafe physically should’ve scared you for being such a huge moment in a relationship, but it didn’t. which was funny because if you’d been the same you that you were when you popped the “what are we?” question, you’d be just as terrified. but having known him for such a short amount of time, you wanted it all. you wanted him in you; you wanted him under your skin, clouding your senses—like now.
you weren’t sure when your throat dried out or when rafe caught you staring, but you played it cool as you took a sip and straightened your back. the world, or at least the room, seemed to slow down as you cocked your head to the side, contemplating the way you were starting to sweat. did he know? could he tell what you’d been thinking? was it possible for him to tell that you’d been looking him up and down with a dry mouth?
the cue ball cracked as you watched rafe stand and say something to his friends. he gripped his beer in his hand, his gaze locked on yours and his eyes devouring you whole. your thighs squeezed together instinctively and you looked away from him to catch your breath, not at all having a clue what to say, or what he was going to say, when he got to you. when had topper and lina left? their stools were empty as you stood there alone, your fingers slipping over the moisture on your glass. rafe was ten feet away now and you stopped your shit real fast before you made a fool of yourself.
his sleeves were pushed up to his elbows, showing off firm muscle. mission abort.
“you look awfully lonely over here,” he said, his hand appearing at your waist and stoking the fire already making its way up your legs.
“i have a proposition for you,” you said without preamble.
“yeah?” he spoke lowly, setting his beer down beside your drink. you stepped closer to him until your stomachs pressed together. he was watching you while he waited and it made you smile like an idiot.
“i do.”
he brushed a stray hair out of your face before clasping his hands behind you. then his eyebrow raised.
“are you going to tell me what it is?”
you shrugged a shoulder, very nonchalant just to mess with him. “i was thinking i’d make you earn it, but i don’t want to keep it in.”
“tell me,” he said and glanced at your mouth.
you made a show of sucking your lip between your teeth, then leaned onto your toes toward his ear. your hands slid up his arms, squeezing at his biceps as you said, “i want you inside me tonight.”
“oh, fuck,” he muttered and tightened his arms.
you laughed lightly and held him too, hugging him around the shoulders and grinning. you spotted your friends by the booth, oblivious like everyone else in the bar to your conversation.
“does that sound like something you want to do?” you wondered aloud, your smile not faltering even if that question brought uncertain thoughts.
“are you kidding?” he pulled away, holding your hips steady. “of-fucking-course i want that.”
as if his statement wasn’t evidence enough, he slammed his lips onto yours a second later, his tongue eager and addictive. you moaned quietly, still very aware you weren’t alone, and tried to melt your body into his. you kissed him back just as hungrily, losing your breath fast.
he was so good at this; making you fucking mush and a blazing fire simultaneously. curling your toes and making your vagina grip on nothing.
you were panting lightly when he pulled his tongue out of your mouth and looked right at you. “i want that,” he repeated.
“okay,” you nodded, albeit a little shakily, but with confidence in his choice.
“do you want to leave now?”
as much as that sounded like a fucking splendid idea, you wanted to drag this out. you wanted to see how he’d react, what he’d do.
you shook your head and gave him a firm kiss. “let’s hang out for a bit longer.”
he groaned, tugging you so tight against him that you could feel his lungs move. “give me a minute, my dick is hard.”
you laughed, pecking his cheek.
— — —
was it torture? yes. was it entertaining? yes. was it making your blood boil? fucking. yes. all of these were obviously questions pertaining to your current seat on your boyfriend’s lap with his very much erect penis. you couldn’t stop yourself from biting the inside of your lip as you sat ram-rod straight in rafe’s lap.
he had pulled you down over him once you got back to the booth after borderline tonsil hockey with him by the pool tables. you couldn’t squirm otherwise you’d be dragging him out of the bar, but it was accidental when you shifted a couple times. it surprised you how long both of you went without booking it out the front door and hauling ass. by the time one of the guys shouted for more drinks as it neared midnight, you knew you’d waited long enough. and if you didn’t leave now with how overstimulated you were, it would be a disaster.
getting back to rafe’s apartment was a blur and you were panting as your fingers tugged at his hair. he sucked on your tongue in his mouth and gripped your hips to pull them flush against his.
“holy fuck, i’m so hard for you,” he said, sliding his hand up your back.
you pulled away just as you made a noise from the back of your throat. your heart was beating wildly in your chest and you made a mental note of where you were in rafe’s room, one of your shoes lost on the stairs outside his door. you kicked off the other and grabbed two fistfuls of rafe’s shirt.
“what do you want?” rafe asked just as you were about to ask him the same thing.
this was all new to you. well, he was. and you knew that with new partners came new preferences. you hadn’t discovered much about what he liked besides being in control, which you had no problem with even if you wondered what it would be like if the roles were reversed. but you hadn’t done this with rafe yet and there would be other times to test your theories out.
it was alluring hearing that question fall from his lips and you looked up at him just as he came back to your mouth, completely devouring it as he held your head still. with a racing heart and desire coursing through your veins, you had an answer.
“you can do whatever you want to me.”
and you meant it. he could do whatever the fuck he liked. as long as he fucked you good, you were up for anything.
“i want it to be good for you,” he said, brushing your hair away from your neck and closing his mouth around a few spots that he knew drove you a little crazy.
“come on, talk to me. tell me you want me inside you again like at the bar.”
you also knew that he liked dirty talk. he was pretty vocal and the words from when he first touched you still rang in your ears, especially during moments when you should’ve been thinking about anything else. it sent shivers down your spine and if he asked you again to say it, you’d jump his bones.
“take my shirt off,” you said, letting your hands wander down his arms.
grasping the hem of the fabric at your waist, rafe did exactly that and let it fall to the carpet. you pulled his shirt off next and dropped it over yours at your feet. you ran your fingers along his sides, basking in the dips and highs of his chest and stomach. a few kisses pressed here and there and you were nearly a goner if he hadn’t unclasped your bra and pulled the straps down your arms. you slid out of it the rest of the way and watched his eyes travel over you, cheeks turning a deep pink, his hands soon joining to brush along your waist.
“you’re blushing,” you grinned, giving a slight shake of your head to get the hair out of your eyes.
rafe licked his lips before looking up, his eyes hooded, his thumbs running along the underside of your breast.
“will you put your mouth on me?” you asked.
his lips parted on a quiet breath and as he started to bend, keeping his eyes on yours, you sucked your bottom lip between your teeth.
“like this?” his breath had your nipples tightening and your back arching just the slightest. it bowed even more as he grasped you and flicked the tip of his tongue over your nipple.
“yes,” you moaned as you watched him for a few moments then closed your eyes.
the muscles in your shoulders and thighs shook as rafe’s hand wandered and ended up cupping you over your underwear. you straddled his naked waist on the edge of his bed, still feeling the prominent aftershocks of having seen him clearly for the first time. it was ridiculous to say, but your mouth watered. plain and simple—it watered.
“please tell me you have a condom,” you said against his cheek, your hand closing around him.
he sucked in a breath and gripped your hip. “yeah, yeah, i have one.”
“i promise i’ll put you in my mouth later, i just really need you inside me right now.”
you couldn’t decipher the curse he said before he pulled your lips to his. he didn’t say anything else when he went to his dresser and fished out a foil packet. plopping down on your back and getting comfortable against his pillows, you couldn’t help but drink up the sight of his muscles moving in his legs as he came back to you.
“christ.”
“what?” you smiled up at him.
“nothing, it’s just…when you look at me like that, i—i don’t want you to ever stop.”
your smile turned into a grin and you lifted yourself up on a hand, taking the packet from his fingers and pressing a gentle kiss on his hipbone.
“don’t do that,” he flinched, backing an inch.
“why’s that?” you asked innocently, batting your lashes up at him as you opened the packet. he sucked in a breath, letting you tug him closer to roll the condom on. you did it slowly, watching as his eyes struggled to stay open.
“come here,” you tugged on his arm, pulling him closer. “touch me a little before you—“
his warm mouth closed over yours before you could finish your sentence and his fingers appeared right where you wanted them.
“how do you want it?” he asked in between kisses, moving to your neck while his fingers brushed over your clit. “on all fours?”
you exhaled deeply and let your head fall back, feeling everything that he was doing to you while listening to his words. how was he so good at this?
“in my lap so you can ride me?”
it was tempting and you saw flashes behind your eyelids of your hips moving over rafe’s while he held onto you tightly.
“on your stomach, just letting me pound into you?” his voice went lower as his teeth scraped your jaw. “or on your back so i can spread you open?”
you bit your lip to hold in the gasp, a cataclysmic shudder rolling over your body like a freight train rattling windows.
“yeah, i knew you would,” he nuzzled his face into your neck. “i want that too—you spread open for me.”
in an instant, rafe had you on your back with your legs open as he settled between them. he seemed so much bigger as he held himself up. you tried slowing your breathing, getting way too excited (if that was possible) from the view and his words. you kissed him deeply before he pulled back to guide himself toward you, checking to make sure you were ready.
his forearms were practically made for gripping, which was proven when he slid inside and you pulsed around him. you dug your nails into the skin as his breath blew over you.
“you’re so warm and tight,” he sighed as his head fell forward and his eyes shut. he wasn’t moving yet, which you could kiss him for as you felt yourself adjusting around him.
“how do i feel? are you okay?”
you nodded fast, anticipation gushing for him to move. “i’m okay. i need you to move.”
he started off steady to get you used to him. once your moans started picking up in frequency and pitch, it egged him on to move faster. you kept a grip on one arm while your other hand lay flat on his stomach, feeling the muscles stretch and bunch with each thrust.
“rafe, harder, please. you feel so good.”
he was even more attractive as he fucked you harder. his eyebrows fused together in concentration, his lips parted with his breaths, his jaw flexed as he tried to hold himself back. you squeezed around him as you felt teeth nip at your breast, the other moving in time with rafe’s thrusts. he groaned against you, nipple in his mouth, hand clamped on the back of your knee to open you wider. you stretched and felt a bit of pain from the position, but it quickly dissipated as you focused on your hips smacking together.
you could see the end right around the corner, but it was much too soon for you. you didn’t want this to end, you didn’t want to feel that empty feeling when rafe left you. you didn’t want his skin to separate from yours.
“you’re gripping me so tight, y/n. let go.” rafe gave your thigh a squeeze, pushing down on it as he watched where your bodies met.
you shook your head with a pained whine, close to tears. “i can’t, not yet.”
“it’s okay, i’ve got you. come for me.” he let go of your leg, not before bringing it around his hip and coaxing you to hang on. “i wanna see you touch yourself.”
your skin was on fire and your brain felt completely detached from your body as you slid your hand down your stomach. you picked your head up right when you brushed your clit, tightening around rafe even more. his forehead came to rest against yours, his hooded eyes downcast to watch your hand. the timing of his thrusts and the circles you were drawing over yourself had you unraveling quickly. plus, the act of you and rafe both watching had your eyes rolling into the back of your head when it finally hit. your arm squeezed around his neck while your legs twined together around his waist.
“oh my god,” you moaned loudly, glad that topper was still at the bar and that you could be as loud as you wanted to be with rafe.
as your spasms and flinches calmed, rafe held himself high above you and gave a last few hard thrusts that would have you wet all over again if you weren’t already. his grunts had you trying to close your legs more around him, the sounds absolute music to your ears. his face bunched up and his mouth dropped open as he came, cursing your name for making him feel so good. you bit back the grin as he stilled, spilling into the condom and flinching in his arms. you pulled him down by the shoulders, welcoming his heavy breath as it poured into your mouth.
“oh, fuck, y/n.”
— — —
“what about this one?”
“lacrosse. an accident between me and a teammate’s stick.”
you hummed with a tired smile, brushing your thumb over rafe’s knuckle on his middle finger. both of you rested on your backs, his head cradled on your chest. you’d been twiddling with his fingers for minutes now and was curious to find a scar on his finger that you hadn’t seen before.
“hmm,” you brought his hand to your cheek and nuzzled against it. turning into it, you pressed your lips against his palm. he slipped it from you a second later and lifted up onto his elbow. his hair was in disarray, and you brushed it off his forehead now, smiling wide at his appearance. you felt completely content—which you blamed entirely on the sex.
he sent a handsome smile back, leaning down toward you as your head lay on his pillow. he pressed a soft kiss to your lips the ventured toward your cheek, all the way down your neck. the fingers you’d been examining now tugged at the comforter over your still-bare chest and you giggled girlishly as he exposed your breasts to the cool air in his room. your heart squeezed like it was trapped in a fist—maybe rafe’s—as he kissed the underside of your boob, starting there and moving around.
“round four?” you teased, brushing the hairs at the back of his head as you watched the top of it. “you’re not tired?”
“mmm, nope. are you?” looking up, he was the epitome of confused puppy.
the corners of your lips turned up and you breathed deeply, sliding your hand to stroke his cheek. “slow and gentle?”
rafe grinned, showing off the way his eyes minimized when he was really, truly happy—a smile you’d had the privilege of seeing lately. he shuffled closer, eyeing your lips as he came closer once again. “slow and gentle.”
