Oh my gosh! Im really flattered that you think this way! It means that I have done a good job so far with my Narinder đ
I %100 understand your concerns regarding the plot and the upcoming betrayal. It wont be a 180 in their personalities and Narinder wont be this comically evil character either. I will do my best to push these two poor souls as much as I can.
But how do you do that to two people that love eachother?
Easy. Fear, lies and manupilation done by other characters that feed the current spy/knight and king plot.
The whole reason why I added Chelsea to the story is to intruduce a harsh conflict to it. To be the catalyst to this pairings downside. But funny enough she wont be the start of it. Fox, the advisor of Narinder has his teeth into him since he was a child and he is the reason why the big rift happens between the sibling kings.
I also have plans with Lambert's missing sister. Her just existing will move Lambert to the extremes. Familial love and revenge is one of my favorite things to see in media and I sure as hell will use it!
I also do understand the 'Narinder did nothing wrong' kind of look into his character and that 'he didnt lie about anything just didnt tell us of his plan' as well. In my comic, he doesnt have the plan to sacrifice Lambert from the get go, he wouldn't even think about it until Fox and Chelsea keep pushing him and fill his head about Lambert betraying him.
The betrayal from Lambert wont be predetermined either. The grief and anger will consume them too much for them to even think about what they are doing and listen to what Narinder is saying to them.
All of this will start boiling before Kallamar's defeat. Lambert will hear a conversation between Fox and Narinder during Lambert's birthday celebration and the heartbreak will start. They will still continue to serve him after it.
Chelsea will have the information that Lambert is a spy and use it to blackmail them to be obidient to her and use her position and Narinder's actions with killing 2 of his siblings and the reactions from Kallamar and Shamura over Narinder to pressure him with other nobles.
The pressure from Chelsea, Kallamar, Shamura and the nobles will be too much for Narinder that he will stop protecting Lambert and he wont go easy on them emotionally which will create the heartbreaking era of Lambert's emotional torture from Chelsea and Narinder turning a blind eye to it.
Lambert lying to Narinder the whole time as a spy and not being able to confess it all, Narinder having literal power over their life and that making his feelings and desires conflict in their relationship will be their main dynamic.
Anyway before I spoil all of the plot, just know that I have a lot of things planned. I dont know if I will be able to satisfy everyone but I just hope you guys have fun with all the angst and heartbreak I have planned for these poor souls !
You guys know how itâs said that cats purr heals? YeaâŚ

Heyy!! first of all your writing is SO GOOD i have come across an amazing writer such as yourself in a long long time. I was wondering if you could write something for remus lupin with the promt 44 in the list? probably like co-workers to lovers kind of a thing. i love him sm i wish he were real ( not that i'd have a chance but still ). THANK YOU SM <33 LOTS OF LOVE
STOP IT, you're making me blush!! Youâre so sweet, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me thatâyouâve officially made my day!!
ivy's 1k celebration âď¸ navigation âď¸ prompt list
Ë°â˘*â⡠REMUS LUPIN #44: "Tell me three reasons why I should put up with you." "Well, for starters, I'm cute."
You leaned against the staffroom door, your eyes locked on the brooding figure hunched over a pile of essays. The quill in Remus Lupinâs hand moved furiously, his brows furrowed in concentration. Honestly, he looked a bit like a kicked puppyâa really cute, endearingly grumpy puppy.
"Oi, Lupin." You sauntered in, plopping into the chair opposite him. "You look like youâre grading the downfall of humanity, not essays."
Without looking up, he muttered, "If you'd read this one, youâd think the same."
You laughed, the sound bright in the dull, parchment-scented room. "Careful, Professor Lupin, your grumpiness is showing."
Remus sighed, finally meeting your gaze, his tired eyes tinged with exasperation. "Some of us take our work seriously."
"And some of us," you shot back with a smirk, "know how to have fun while doing it. You should try it sometimeâfun, I mean. Itâs delightful."
His lips twitched, almost forming a smile, but he caught himself. "Why are you here, anyway? I thought you were done for the day."
"I was," you said, leaning forward conspiratorially, "but I heard you were holed up here, looking like a medieval monk. Thought Iâd check on you."
"How thoughtful," he deadpanned, though the faintest blush dusted his cheeks.
You grinned, knowing you were getting to him. "Youâre welcome. Now, I demand your attention for at least five minutes."
"Why?" he asked, tilting his head and raising a brow.
"Because Iâm adorable," you quipped, twirling a strand of hair.
"Debatable," he shot back, though his cheeks flushed pinker.
"Rude," you gasped, clutching your chest like he'd just insulted your honor. "You wound me, Lupin."
His lips curved into the tiniest smile, and you knew you had him.
"Fine," he said, sitting back and crossing his arms. "You want my attention? Tell me three reasons why I should put up with you."
You leaned forward, resting your chin on your hand, your smirk growing. "Well, for starters, Iâm cute."
"Debatable," he repeated, but his voice was softer, teasing.
"And second," you continued, ignoring him, "I make your dull, miserable days brighter with my sparkling wit and charm."
His eyes rolled, but you caught the corner of his mouth twitching.
"And third," you finished with a dramatic sigh, "you secretly like me and would miss me terribly if I stopped bothering you."
For a moment, he said nothing, his eyes studying you like you were one of his more perplexing students. You felt your pulse quicken, the usual banter hanging in the air like a question left unanswered.
Then he smiledâsmall and shy, but genuineâand looked down at the essays in front of him.
"Youâre insufferable," he said, but there was no heat behind it.
"Youâre blushing, Lupin," you teased, your grin widening.
"Iâm not," he mumbled, his ears now undeniably red.
"Oh, you are. I win."
"Win what?" he asked, glancing up at you again.
"Whatever this is," you said, motioning between the two of you.
"Well," he said softly, "if this is winning, I think Iâm alright with losing."
Your heart skipped a beat, his words sinking in. Was Remus Lupinâgrumpy, shy, always-buried-in-books Remus Lupinâflirting with you?
"Careful, Lupin," you said, leaning back in your chair, though your voice was softer now. "You keep talking like that, and I might start to think you like me."
He chuckled, the sound low and warm, and for the first time, he didnât deny it.

Why is Jack public enemy number 1? Sorry I donât go on twitter but I keep seeing it here on tumblr
According to some folks on Tumblr, Jack Hughes didn't smile at them or was rude to them or something at the team signing event last night.
Anon, you're in for a treat, because I will be defending a white man on main. lets go!
I want to first reiterate a few things...
this was a team signing event. not a meet and greet. meaning, Jack Hughes and the other players were there to sign things, any further interaction or anything would have been a plus. I think someone actually shared the rules of the event on twt, posted below. you couldn't even take selfies or pictures with the players. it was literally just a line where you handed over something that you wanted signed and it got signed. of course, there were players that personalized the signatures or let people take selfies and posed with them, but this wasn't actually a part of the experience nor should it have been an expectation.
2. this is not "part" of Jack's job or any hockey players job for that matter. I think people need to realize that although hockey players are celebrities in a certain sense of the word, their interactions with fans are not a necessary part of their job. I'm seeing a bunch of people say that he's being unprofessional and if he can't be good with fans than he shouldn't be a hockey player, and thats, frankly, idiotic. Jack's job is being a hockey player. that is what he gets paid to do. anything on top of that is on top not a part of his job. please understand that a hockey player does not need to have a social media presence to do their job, doesn't ever need to interact with fans to do their job, and actually can play a hockey game without any fans and still get paid!
3. I genuinely don't believe any of the things being said on Tumblr are actually true or if these incidents of him being "rude" did occur I don't believe they're being interpreted the right way or are being relayed in the right context. Rather, I feel like this is just another instance of folks looking for a reason to dislike or even hate Jack. he's a very easy player to dogpile on because of how he plays and how he is portrayed by the media and his fanbase. you don't need a reason to hate the dude, go on and hate him, but please stop making up stories.
anyway...
as far as things I have seen and first person accounts I've been told, Jack was perfectly normal with everyone and especially nice to the kids.
folks are just mad that he didn't rise to whatever lofty expectations people had of Jack during a team signing event where everyone's time with the players was incredibly short and heavily policed. maybe be upset with how it was organized (like why did they have three player tables, it didn't make any sense!).
plus, I have seen several accounts of people hearing folks in line talking shit about Jack while waiting for him, so like what exactly do you expect to happen when he hears you waiting in line for his autograph and being entitled to his time and his generosity and you're chatting shit? like that he's gonna be all sunshine and roses with you? naaaaaaaah.
and finally, we speak so often about respecting the privacy of these players, taking into account their mental health, etc. but then you're gonna turn around and judge someone because they didn't do exactly what you wanted to do when you met them for fifteen seconds? so we're giving grace to players on one end and turning around and blasting other players. make it make sense.
this is essentially the "people pay to watch me play" incident all over again where that quote is taken out of context and then everyone and their mother runs with it because Jack is a very easy target.
#Text#Anonymous#Question#Ask#Jack Hughes#New Jersey Devils#taking a chance and tagging this with Jack#because why not#I already feel like this is not going to be a good decision#anyway no more defending white men#Im done! closing up shop!#and honestly if this weeds out the weirdo fucking fans Jack seems to attract then so be it#it is actually the most annoying thing how misunderstood the Hugheses brothers are by hockey fandom#this gets into my dislike of the fandomification of hockey players#where people expect their favorite players to act like their favorite characters or their favorite celebrities#whats the thing people say#touch some grass#take a hot girl walk (gender neutral)

This is just my personal thoughts but, I think the reason why Skully seems to be the most popular and liked Halloween Event character so far is probably due to ..a few things.
Out of the three, the character he was twisted from is the least controversial. A lot of people love Jack! ...Can't really say the same of Frollo and Honest John.
Out of the three, Skully's event probably had the lowest stakes. Rollo was trying to removed magic from the world (a fundamental part of Twisted Wonderland, which would not doubt break a lot of things and do a lot of unforseen damage to a lot of innocent people) and Fellow and Gidel were human traffickers turning people into literal puppets. Skully was just a teenager throwing a tantrum over the fact his idol didn't want to do his favorite holiday his way. While he did do some ..morally questionable things, compared to what Rollo and Fellow did, it was kinda small potatoes.
His appearance has a much wider general appeal than Rollo and Fellow. Pretty privilege is a thing that exists.
Skully had actual, tangible character growth over the course of the event and managed to.. somewhat(?) befriend the boys after his meltdown, while Rollo remained stuck in his ways and Fellow and Gidel kinda just.. fucked off after they nuked the park, which was understandable. He even enjoyed himself so much he wanted to celebrate Halloween with us next year! ..Which just made the ending feel even more like a gut-punch. Here we were making a new friend on Halloween and we'll neither remember him nor see him ever again. đ˘
Skully had a lot more one-on-one interactions with the player character than either Rollo or Fellow, which also probably helped increase attachment. I mean.. we woke up in his arms at the start of the event for Christ sake...
Mystery. We know why Rollo and Fellow did the things they did and why they hold the views they do. That is not fully the case with Skully. While we know why he wanted to what he did (he wanted to prove that his Halloween was the right way to celebrate), we have zero clue as to why he holds the views on Halloween that he does. Why did he think the only correct way to celebrate Halloween was to sit alone in a dark room in complete silence with no candy or decorations or anything? We just don't know and we will probably never know. Which just makes his character so intriguing. They do say that less can be more after all.
He's still new-ish, people love new things! So maybe some of his popularity might wane over time, but not anytime soon, I think.
There might be more that I'm not remembering at the moment or too tired to see, but that's all I have for now. Thanks for coming to my Skully TedTalk đ
Oooo~ Analysts of Skully.
Well, just by seeing the picture of him caused everyone to cling to him and I was like "Whose this dweeb?" Then I saw his eyes.
THE BOY GOT THEM SPIRALS
AND SKULLY'S JUST A DWEEB AND A DORK AND A-
Skully is the one I do wanna know more about the most. Cause I just fell in love with what I saw from the JPN screenshots
AND HE'S SUCH A NERD!

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.
It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.
Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.
The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.
This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.
Actors are not the same as voice actors.
And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.
I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.
People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.
Voice Actors â Actors.
#(i am incredibly passionate about this)#(and seeing celebrity voice actors in what should be a voice actor's role completely burns my buns it doesn't matter WHO it is)#(hemsworth as optimus? someone tell me one good reason why they couldn't get a good v/a to replace mr. cullen properly for the future)#(ben shwartz as sonic? dude literally isn't even a good voice actor OR actor anyways-)#(- A N D jason griffith AND my boy roger craig smith are still RIGHT HERE)#(jason griffith IN PARTICULAR would have pulled back SO many sonic fans that went to watch the film anyways. if not /more/.)#(and on top of that he has the same tonality and energy they tried to force this moshmo to try and emulate anyways so GET THE REAL THING)#(chris pratt as mario? i can at least defend /him/ and say that barring his failure to do a NY accent consistently he wasn't terrible)#(but mario's new voice actor could've been used instead and people would've clearly appreciated that WAY more)#(vanessa hudgens as sunny starscout in mlp g5's pilot movie? literally why. they replace her and hitch's va in the show.)#(don't even get me started on the concept of hiring celebrity singers to do musical theatre roles or not letting musical theatre singers-)#(-dub the celebrity voice actors you just HAD to hire for your film bc you're so worried about not getting enough clout to get ppl in seats#(that you're putting it all in this (1) big name hire bc turns out that you have no faith in your writing ability much less-)#(-animation as a medium.)#(and no before anyone says anything : no this is not me saying that ALL celebrity voice castings are bad.)#(there are some that aren't that bad and others that are actually pretty good.)#(i especially appreciate it when actors are damn well aware they aren't voice actors and try to LEARN from voice coaches-)#(-and/or their va predecessors if applicable.)#(that does not change the fact that the celebrity shouldn't have been hired just because the film wanted to have bragging clout-)#(-oh look at this FAMOUS PERSON we were able to hire â yeah ok. sure wendy. i want to know if this film is quality or not.)#(and 9/10 times the SECOND there is money spent on a non voice actor to voice the main character especially)#(that usually means somewhere along the way animation IS going to get shafted. if not w the animators themselves then in the way of-)#(-the actual animation itself and ESPECIALLY the screenwriting because it's especially been so dogshit lately even before the strike.)#(a celebrity being hired to fill a voice actor's role is such an immediate red flag to me and it is VERY rare that i get to be proven wrong

there is undeniable opportunity to make bellum x linebeck fucked up but i dont have it in me. im a sucker for it just being fine with a side of like. light nautical crimes against nature but i cant make it toxic or w/e after a certain point. theyre chilling
#bellum x linebeck#salty talks#this is a light hearted post btw this is me celebrating enjoying making it soft at the end of the#the fucked up stuff is reserved for whatever happens during possession and also when theyre not romantically involved#ie. a lot of my aus. tbh tho they do also border on romantic? in a âcanonâ ph or ph adjacent setting theyre just chilling#theres nothing straight up like really toxic with those bc 1 not my thing and 2 woulsnt really add anything imo#like i do think they can just strike up an agreement to not screw with each other and bellum figures he doesnt need to mess with linebeck#its the bonus of bellum canât verbally communicate without showing that he has a human form#anyways. ive decided i cant actually warch gravity falls until i finish the fic anyways#i need to be able to say i havent seen it while i write this fic. there are too many possible connections i need this#also like. the most impact gravity falls has actually had on my life has been me seeing those twink humanizations of bill years ago#and that therefore being the main fucking reason why ive been fighting tooth and nail to get to the bellum humanization i have now#that fucker has caused me so many problems and i only recently found out what his fucking voice sounds like#anyways surprise surprise the person writing this fic for self indulgent reasons is catering heavily to themselves#tbh in post this fic and post ph (where its less like theyre dating and more like he occasionally makes it a polycule)#all of the bad shit is gotten out of the way before anything actually starts#with the aus where its a little more fucked its more just like. homoerotic. with different relationships around it#THO i do feel like theres somehow a pressure to make it fucked up? cuz its the default yknow. but i dont rlly like that so no#i think its more interesting for the work to be put in for it to be decent. i mean square one is bellum using linebeck as disposable bait

f1teaspill: the war at ferrari is heating up... turns out there's a lot carlos didn't know and FOR YEARS. yes, you're reading that right, y/n sainz and charles leclerc have been in a relationship for at least two years and believe us we have a VERY credible source like WITHIN THE FAMILY level source.
the most important thing about this whole relationship is how carlos did not know for years, so how much more was hidden from him? did y/n know about the seat swap for lewis? was she leaking strategies to charles? was she sabotaging her own brother?

user53: OH SHITTTTTTTTTT
user54: cancel me if you will but i think the hottest couple in f1 just dropped
user55: the fact we've been robbed of content of them for years .... i'm angry I NEED THE POETRY ABOUT CHARLES
user56: i'm gonna need y/n or charles to drop all the pics in response
user57: y'all a source "within the family"? did these fools find out about y/n's relationship and immediately run to an f1 TEA PAGE???
user58: that's some goofy ass shit
user59: i find it funny that instead of sitting down and thinking about why their daughter/sister didn't feel comfortable enough to tell you about her relationship they're like i know EXACTLY who needs to hear this
user60: the way it's proved her completely right to not tell them
user61: do you guys think this is like a tv show or like fan fiction? in what world is y/n sharing strategies to fuck over her own BROTHER?
user62: also be for fucking real... strategies? ferrari? at least try and be realistic
user63: also.... walk with me .... why would y/n and charles conspire to put lewis hamilton in carlos' seat? LEWIS FUCKING HAMILTON AND SEVEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION? WHY WOULD CHARLES WANT TO TAKE HIM ON OVER A GUY HE'S ALREADY BEATEN TWICE
user64: see this is the point! sainz camp you can try and demonise charles and yOUR OWN DAUGHTER all you want but we all know it's bull shit
user65: one thing about this that really rubs me the wrong way is that the sainz camp clearly expected that if y/n was in a relationship with charles that she would've been a double agent for carlos? and because she's not fucking insane they're now going for character assassination of their own SISTER/DAUGHTER
user66: THIS THIS THIS
user67: carlos won't even consider y/n an "important" person in his life but expect her to sacrifice or exploit her relationship for cheap psychological points
user68: also y/n isn't even at most races so how is she getting carlos' strategies to give to charles? this shit doesn't make any sense
user69: carlos himself has said in an interview that y/n is useless when it comes to racing that she's just a supportive figure rather than someone who has any in depth racing knowledge
user70: this is insane level hating with all the evidence out here... and against your own family...
user71: this just makes me think that y/n wasn't in australia for a reason - like was she banned from carlos' garage
user72: and the fact she's been staying at max's it just makes me think that y/n was kicked out of her and carlos' apartment
user73: now tHATS INSANE

yourusername: charles will do his talking on the track like he always does. he won't debase himself with bickering in instagram comments, funnily enough ferrari don't like that - might be the reason he still has a seat and someone doesn't
carlossainz55: or he's a pussy who has his woman talk for him
yourusername: at least he has a woman to talk for him, he doesn't behind his dad at any sign of trouble. i've always known i didn't matter to dad the moment i wasn't a boy but i'm not afraid of him or you and i know exactly how you work. good luck

GO OUT WITH ME - LN4
summary : Lando doesnât beg. But when it comes to y/n, he canât help it.
listen up : nothing big to note! just cuteness
word count : 945
â・â§Ëâ
âGo out with me.â He says for the third time today, watching me swipe on my strawberry lip gloss. I pocket the bottle into my jeans pocket, crossing my arms over my black vest. I look to Lando whoâs behind me in his papaya suit.
âCould you please stop bothering my friend?â Oscar says, sitting on a stool in his own driver's room.
âI will if she says yes.â He looks at me with big blue eyes, smiling. Too bad I have to crush his dreams.
âNo.â I shrug and look back to my childhood best friend.
âWhy are you even here, Lan?â Oscar leans his head back against the wall.
âWhat do you mean? I love hanging out with my bestie!â He stands, messing with Oscarâs hair. I laugh a bit and his face lights up, âGo out with me.â
âGoodbye Lando!â Oscar pushes him out the door and slams it in his face. âYou know he will stop if you ask him, right?â
I look at my manicure, sighing, âYeah, I know.â
â・â§Ëâ
Lando won. I go to a race to watch Oscar and everywhere I turn, Landos face is being projected onto some screen. I was there in Miami and now I'm here in the Netherlands.
Iâm leaving the paddock when I literally run into the man. I told you heâs everywhere!
Heâs smiling like I've never seen before, sweaty and laughing before he looks up at me, âShit, Y/n! Iâm sorry.â
âNo problem.â I shake my head, âCongrats, by the way.â He bites his lip, his suit unzipped and water bottle in hand.
âThanks! You must be a good luck charm.â he winks and I'm thoroughly reminded how attractive he is. I wonât go out with him but that doesnât mean I canât appreciate him.
âYou going out to celebrate?â Heâs walking with me through the hall.
âNah I want fast food and a movie.â He shakes his head, a curl falling onto his forehead. âJoin me?â
âBye, Norris.â I walk out the door.
I can practically hear the smile in his sweet accent, âSee you later, Y/l/n.â
â・â§Ëâ
I knock on Oscarâs door repeatedly, âOpen up, Idiot!â
No reply.
My stupid best friend hasnât responded to me all night, we had plans for me to cheer him up after his crappy race but heâs totally ditching me!
âThatâs my room.â I freeze when he speaks. The British accent is one that I will not confuse with Oscars.
I slowly turn to Lando, âOh.â
âAny reason youâve come for a visit?â He holds a bucket of ice and a dutch chocolate bar. âChange your mind about the date?â
I pull my lips into a thin line, âNo! Iâm looking for Oscar.â
He walks closer to me, âWe switched rooms. He's a level down.â
âShit.â I roll my eyes, âYou think heâs asleep?â
âDefinitely. Seemed wiped after today.â He shrugs and eyes the bag I'm holding.
I was supposed to cheer him up after a crappy race, I bought all the Australian treats I could find, âGreat.â I sigh. âHeâs leaving tomorrow morning so now Iâm stuck with all these snacks.â
âSnacks?â Lando almost laughs, âPoor you, stuck with food.â
âAustralian snacks! We were supposed to watch âHow to lose a guy in ten daysâ and he was supposed to complain about it!â I frown, I donât get to see Oscar often even though heâs just come from break, I barely saw him.
Lando unlocks his room, âIâm sorry. Iâd invite you in but I'm assuming youâd say no.â
âLando Norris⌠Are you giving up?â
His head shoots up when I say it, âNo! Iâm respecting your wishes.â He opens the door and walks in, clearly waiting for me to make my decision.
I push past him and jump the snacks onto his bed, âOscar told me you donât like tim tams.â
â・â§Ëâ
An hour later I find myself watching Oscar and Iâs movie with Lando. Heâs actually really funny, and genuinely thinks this movie is hilarious.
Iâm caught looking at him, âEverything okay?â
I nod slowly, pretending like I wasnât just examining his face, âCan I ask you something?â He nods, âIf I said yes⌠to a proper date- what would you do?â
He smiles, âProbably jump for joy, if iâm being honest.â
I roll my eyes.
âYou know I donât just ask you out on some whim right?â Heâs being serious. âI like you. I want to get to know you more.â He says it so casually but I can tell heâs nervous.
I canât breathe, âMore than just Oscar's friend?â
Lando shakes his head, toying with a candy in his hand, âYouâve always been more than Oscar's friend.â
âThen, yes.â Iâm certain this time.
âYes?â
âYes iâll go out with you.â
He blinks.
âYou better not be joking.â
âIâm not!â I laugh and he puts his head into his hands, âLando!â
âI knew youâd come around!â He points at me before pausing again, âThis isnât some pity thing, right? Just because Iâm alone after I won doesnât mean Iâm all sad or something!â
âLando.â I try but he keeps going.
âI did win, after all! And I donât want you to say yes because of that either because itâs cool and all but I am more than a win also I swear I have other friends besides Os-â
âLando!â I laugh and grab his face. He stops speaking, âI want to go out with you. Because youâre you.â
I can feel his heart beating, âThatâs good.â
âVery good.â I agree. His smile hits me once more and I match it, âYouâre cute.â
âI think I'm dreaming.â
note : race was TOUGHHH todayđ had to write smt happy to cope. loved it for charles tho canât lie! hope you enjoy!

The Tim Drake Heartthrob Conspiracy
It started as a slow, creeping suspicion. A few throwaway comments here, a couple of odd interactions there. At first, no one thought much of it.
One day, Dick was grabbing coffee near Wayne Enterprises when he overheard two interns chatting in line. âI saw Tim Drake today, and let me tell you, I think Iâve developed a new celebrity crush,â one of them said, giggling.
Dick nearly choked on his iced latte. Tim? Celebrity crush? He shook it off, chalking it up to the occasional corporate crush, nothing out of the ordinary for someone who runs a massive company. But then he heard it again the next week at a Titanâs briefing. Garfield leaned over to him during a meeting, nodding toward Tim across the room.
âMan, Timâs really come into his own, huh? Guyâs kinda a looker now,â Gar commented.
Dick blinked, then frowned. âWait, what?â
âOh, come on, Nightwing,â Gar teased, âyou canât tell me you havenât noticed! The quiet broody thing is working for him. I bet half of Gotham has a crush on him.â
By the time Dick got back to Gotham, the gears were turning in his head. Did half of Gotham have a crush on Tim?
Then it happened again. This time it was Damianâs turn.
He had been sparring with Jon in the Batcave, when their conversation drifted, as it often did. âYou ever think about what it would be like to date someone like Tim?â Jon asked, completely out of the blue.
Damian froze, mid-punch. âWhat?â
âI mean, heâs smart, right? Responsible, kinda low-key. Would probably make a great boyfriend,â Jon continued, completely oblivious to the growing horror on Damianâs face.
âGrayson and Todd, are enough. I refuse to let another sibling of mine become Gothamâs romantic fascination!â Damian exclaimed later that night at the dinner table. The others laughed, assuming Damian was just being overly dramatic, as usual.
But the seed had been planted.
It didnât take long for the other Batfamily members to start picking up on the signs.
Steph first noticed when she logged onto a Wayne Enterprises fan forum (because yes, those exist) and saw a thread that was simply titled, âTim Drakeâs Glow-Up Appreciation Postâ. The page was filled with comments fawning over himâtalking about his âsharp jawline,â his âdark, mysterious aura,â and how âcharmingâ he was during interviews.
Naturally, Steph sent the link to Cass with a laughing emoji. âLook at our boy, growing up into Gothamâs next heartbreaker,â she joked.
But as more and more of these comments popped up in the oddest places, Stephâs joking tone faded. Was Tim really the next heartthrob?
The realization hit Jason last, as most things concerning Tim usually did. He was scrolling through his usual online haunts, browsing forums that discussed Gothamâs vigilantes, when he stumbled on something unusual.
A post titled: Top 10 Reasons Why Red Robin is the Best Looking Vigilante in Gotham.
Jason almost clicked out of it immediately, assuming it was some kind of joke. But no. There were paragraphs. Analysis. Photos that somehow made Tim look like a damn model, even in his ridiculous Red Robin cape.
Jason scrolled through in disbelief, not sure what he was more stunned by: the fact that people were thirsting after Tim, or that someone had gone to this much effort to explain why he was hot.
âThatâs it. The internet is officially broken,â Jason muttered to himself, before sending a screenshot to the family group chat with the caption: Since when did Tim become a fashion icon?
The real kicker, though, was Alfred. After weeks of the Batfamily casually throwing around jokes about Timâs newly discovered âstatus,â Alfred finally made his observation one morning over breakfast.
âMaster Timothy has always had a certain quiet charm about him,â Alfred said as he served coffee, completely unbothered by the ensuing chaos.
Dick, nearly spilling his coffee: âWait, you knew about this? Why didnât you say something?â
Alfred raised a brow. âIt hardly seemed necessary. I assumed you all were already aware of Master Timothyâs appeal.â
Appeal. Appeal.
Jason was laughing so hard he had to leave the room, while Steph and Cass exchanged glances that said everything: they needed to re-evaluate everything about their little brother.
The whole Batfamily was still coming to terms with it. They joked, they teased, but there was an undeniable shift. When they looked at Tim now, they saw what others had apparently been seeing for yearsâa quietly confident, strikingly intelligent young man who had somehow grown into one of Gothamâs most eligible bachelors.
Of course, the moment that really sealed the deal came when Tim rode into the Batcave one evening on his Red Bird bike, wearing hastily thrown on stylish outfitâa black leather jacket, perfectly fitted jeans, and a shirt that gave him a casual, yet effortlessly cool look. Running a hand through his still damp hair, a look of mild annoyance on his face.
âSorry, Iâm running late. Got a date.â
For a moment, the Batfamily just stared.
Holy. Shit.
And then, as if on cue, Dick, Steph, Cass, Duke, Jason, and even Damian had the same thought at the same time: Oh my God, Tim Drake is the Batfamilyâs biggest heartthrob.
The realization was almost too much to handle.
#tim drake#batfam#tim drake is gothams most eligible bachelor#tim drake is also a huge heartthrob and i think that needs to be addressed more#his date was totally with danny btw#ofc the bats would be the last ones to realize how saught after tim is

When you wear their clothes
genshin men x gn!reader
characters featured: xiao, neuvillette, wriothesley, zhongli and itto
i've been dreaming about genshin a lot lately idk this game has possesed me or smth so i feel like i'm required to write this? Also DAMN im rusty with genshin characters so i apologise profusely for any ooc-ness
(also wrio's is kinda suggestive!!)
XIAO is confused. Why on earth are you wearing his clothes? He isn't opposed to it specifically, but doesn't understand the appeal or the reason why you do it. "My clothes don't fit you properly. What's the point?" he asks, completely straight faced. You smile. "It reminds me of you when you're not with me!" He just scoffs and says he doesn't get your strange habits before moving on with his day. Somehow though, the image of you in his clothes won't leave his mind for the rest of the day. "Dammit..." he mumbles under his breath, barely audible when nobody's around. Don't bring up his pink cheeks in the evening when he comes back to see you, he will not elaborate.
Similarly, NEUVILLETTE is also confused. This must be another human thing that he isn't familiar with. What does wearing their lover's clothes mean to humans? "Oh, I just missed you... your clothes remind me of you, you know?" You explained when he questioned you on the matter. "Oh, I suppose that makes sense. Do you want more items related to myself for when I am absent?" He asks. While you do want to know what items he would bring you, you turn him down. "I like your shirts the most, because they smell like you and feel like your hugs." He doesn't know why exactly, but he has the urge to kiss you all of a sudden.
WRIOTHESLEY feels distracted when he sees you in his clothes from time to time. He gets busy a lot, so the moments he gets to spend with you feel extra special. But, what is he to do when you look so positively yummy in his shirt? "Hey, mind taking my shirt off? It's... sort of distracting." he admits, taking a sip of his tea. "But, wouldn't it be even more distracting if I took it off now?" you asked, feigning an innocent look. He almost spit out his tea. "I did not mean it like that...! Surely you're just teasing me." You just smiled mischeviously in response, taking a sip out of your own cup. "That's what I thought. I know that look."
ZHONGLI thinks you look odd in his clothes. Odd, but not bad by any means. You actually look quite endearing. "I'll make sure to commit this to memory." he says calmly, sitting down next to you on the bed. "You say that every time you're with me." you poke his shoulder gently, smiling up at him. "That's because everything about you is worth remembering, I suppose." Still, he thinks this specific memory is one he will treasure for a long, long time. "Oh my..." you felt heat rushing to your cheeks at his words, hugging his arm. Actually, he changed his mind, you're positively adorable in his clothes.
You're basically asking to get attacked with a flurry of kisses if you wear ITTO'S clothes in front of him. That's like, a show of affection! That you're totally his and no one else's! And that also means it's a cause for celebration! "Agh, Itto- Stop!" you try and fail to push his face away. "Hehehe..." he gives you a bright smile and places a big ol' kiss on your lips. "You should wear my clothes more often!!!" he felt proud of himself, puffing out his chest. "Ummm, whatever you say..." you're kind of worried that if you do that, your face will never escape his lips.

Never Have I Ever⌠| E.M x Virgin!Reader
TJâs 2K Request celebration!
@nailbatanddungeon : âI have a request for youuu. Okay, this is Eddie x Virgin!reader, reader is still new to everything, but there is one thing that the reader needs but is scared to push because the reader is TOUCH STARVED (So am I)â
Cw: reader and Eddie are in their mid to late 20âs, touch starved virgin!reader, angst, fluff, alcohol, throwing up(too much alcohol consumption), hangovers, fingering, oral (f receiving), p in v, protected sex. Friends to lovers
WC: 3.1k
I hope you enjoy!! đ
âYouâll get there; youâre just a late bloomer, is allâ
A late bloomer, youâve heard it your whole life- and youâre sick of it. Sick of feeling behind in life? Youâre in your twenties now and getting absolutely shit-faced because youâve never done anything in this game of never have I ever.
You, Nancy, Steve, Eddie, Robin, Jonathan, and a few others were at the block party, and you somehow ended up involved in the juvenile game.
âNever have I ever kissed the same gender,â you drank.
âNever have I ever dumped anyone,â you drank.
âNever have I ever smoked weed,â you drank.
âNever have I ever said the wrong name in bed.â Thatâs rich because youâve never been in a bed with anyone to begin with.
You hadnât relized how much youâve had to drink until you stood up.
âWoah, you okay?â You hear Nancy speak as you wobble.
You had wanted to get up and get more to drink because, unlike the others, your cup was empty.
âYeah.â You tried to get out, but it sounded more like a grunt to the others.
Ignoring their protests, you stumbled your way back to the kitchen, feeling sorry for yourself.
You fumble with the lid of the hard liquor bottle until a strong ring-clad hand clasps over yours. You freeze, pissed off and embarrassed, knowing who the hand belongs to.
Even in your inebriated state, you get that same feeling whenever he is around you. You feel the heat in your cheeks instantly as the butterflies in your stomach irrupts.
âI donât think thatâs a good idea, Sweetheart.â
You look down, not wanting to see the look on his face.
âI donât careâ you slur. God, you will hate yourself in the morning.
Of all people, it had to be Eddie to come and check on you?
Thatâs how he wasâalways worried, always babying you because you âwerenât experienced in life,â according to his words, and it made you mad! It made you seem like a child, and you were sick of people treating you as such. You were a grown woman, you had a 9:00-5:00, an apartment, and a degree, but none of that matteredânot when it came to dating and love.
âSweetheart, please, you need to slow down.â
âWhy?â You rolled your eyes. âIâm a big girl I can handle my alcohol.â You huffed.
âI just thinkâ "
"IM TIRED OF WHAT YOU THINK!" you've had enough. No one took you seriously, and you couldn't help that Eddie happened to be the only one to feel your wrath.
"Woah, okay-okay, Iâm sorry."
âIâm sick of everyone treating me like a child!" the dam broke, and streams of mascara fell down your cheeks.
"I don't think you're a child." Eddie timidly reached out his comforting hand.
"Yes, you do."
"When haveâ "
"ANY TIME WE ARE OUT, EDDIE! Like last week at the bar, I was so close to getting that guy's number and you swooped in acting like my father!"
"Sweetheart Iâ"
"Don't sweetheart me!" You cut him off once again. "It's demeaning."
"y/n. Let me take you home. We can talk about this tomorrow."
"I donât want to."
"Too bad we are going." Eddie no longer gave you a choice. He took your hand and started to pull you along with him.
You stumbled, tripping over your feet because your balance was gone completely.
âWoah, see my point exactly.â
âShut up.â You mumble, and Eddie canât help but stifle a laugh. You were so cute.
Eddie didnât mean to make you think you were juvenileâŚ. He admired you and wanted to protect you; you were a woman to him, all women. He liked you; he really liked you. The only reason he swoops in is because he doesnât want you with anyone who isnât him, not because he doesnât think youâre not capable⌠He dreams about how capable you can be. He just didnât have the balls to say it to your face.
The thought of you not having any experience never even crossed his mind. He still had no clue youâd never been intimate with someone; he didnât even know how inexperienced you were until the game. He watched and raised an unknowing brow each time you took a gulp.
Eddie took your keys from your hands and unlocked your front door for you. The whole car ride had been eerily silent. You didnât dare speak a word without the threat of vomit coming up with it.
You silently stumbled into your home. Eddie followed closely behind. He helped you take off your sneakers. He led you to the bathroom and found some makeup wipes to help you take off your makeup, but halfway through, you turned to the toilet as the tequila made its way back up.
Thatâs when you broke; you were so embarrassed. âWhatâs wrong with me?â You cried.
âNothing is wrong with you, swee-.â But he cut himself off, remembering that you scolded him earlier in the evening.
âYes, there is something wrong with me! Nobody wants me.â
âThatâs not true.â Eddie stroked the back of your head as you emptied out the contenders of your stomach into the porcelain bowl.
âThen why am I still a virgin?!â You sobbed.
Eddie was stunned, speechless. He had no idea. He just thought you didnât like sharing your sex life, not that you didnât have one.
So he let you cry into his chest. Your tears stained his shirt, but he didnât care; he was here to take care of you.
âCome on, letâs get you to bed,â he guided you after he helped you ride your mouth out.
You crashed as soon as your head hit the pillow. Eddie thought of leaving but was worried you would need him if you woke up, so he took the couch.
You awoke with a throbbing pain pounding in your head. You were never drinking again. The night was murky; you started remembering bits and pieces but not everything. You get up and notice the bottle of painkillers and a glass of water you definitely didnât put there.
Then you remembered Eddie bringing you home and let out an aggravated groan. How could you have been so messy? And in front of Eddie, out of all people? Why couldnât Robin and Nancy bring you home? What did you say to him? Were you mean? Did you yell at him? You remember crying, but the reasoning was foggy.
You begrudgingly take the water and pills and almost gag, trying to get them down, but you manage. You also smell like a minibar, so you strip and walk to your bathroom.
After a long hot shower, you get dressed and must put some food into your empty stomach.
You walked past a sleeping Eddie, not seeing him curled up in the living room, and started noisily making yourself some breakfast.
âIs that the way you wake up all your guests?â
You screamed as you threw the fork you had in fright.
âEddie, what the fuck?!â You clench your chest as you take big breaths to calm your racing heart.
âSorry, Angelâ
Angel⌠thatâs new? Itâs always been sweetheart.
âI didnât know you stayed?â
âYeah⌠you um. Were in pretty rough shape last night, I didnât want you to be alone... so I slept in the couch. I hope thatâs okayâ
âThank you, Eddie, Iâm sorry I ruined your night.â You looked down, ashamed.
âYou didnât ruin it.â He shook his head.
âWell, I owe you one,â you giggle awkwardly. Eddie and you hardly ever hang out one-on-one.
âHow are you feeling?â
âLike absolute shit.â You hand Eddie a black coffee.
âYeah, well, you really went hard in that game of never have I ever.â
You met out a moan of embarrassment. Your memory came flooding back.
Mortification consumed you as you didnât want to look Eddie in the eyes. You cried in his arms last night after you puked your guys out.
âOh godâ
âItâs okay, Angel. Nothing to be embarrassed about.â
âWhat happened to sweetheart?â You tried to change the subject.
âYou said it was demeaningâŚâ
âOh god, I did?â You peek up and see Eddie silently nod his head yes.
âIâm sorry, itâs not⌠I like the nickname. I justâŚ. I was feeling so emotional last night, and the alcohol.â You tried not to gag at the thought.
âSâall good.â He shrugged. But he was replaced to hear you liked being called sweetheart. It suited you; he didnât call anyone else that, either. It was reserved just for you.
âUm, so about last night, you mentioned nobody wanting youâŚ.â Oh god, was he really doing this now? âI donât think thatâs true.â Yes, he was.
âHuh?â You sit up, taking a sip of your coffee.
âYou cried about how you didnât think anyone wanted you, but itâs not true⌠I want you.â
Did you hear that right? Did you get water in your ears from the shower?
âYou do?â Your eyes widen.
âYeah,â he looks at you sheepishly.
âOh?â You were in shock.
âShit-I-Iâm sorry, I ruined everything.â Eddie stood up, but you stood up with him, not wanting him to leave.
âNo, Eddie, wait!â You grab his shoulder and turn him to face you. You couldnât let him leave, not now.
âSweeetheart, please let me be mortified in peace.â
âKiss me.â
Eddie stares at you before you tell him one more time.
âKiss me, Eddie.â
Then you feel his hands grip the back of your head and pull you in.
You didnât think anything could cure your hangover but this comes pretty damn close.
You melt into his touch, his hands cup your head, your hands find his waist. It feels right, so right you think youâre floating.
No one had kissed you in what felt like years, and maybe it had been, but it was worth the wait.
Hands danced around one anotherâs bodies, and tongues and teeth clashed. It was messy; it was needy.
âWoah woah woah, sweetheart, hold on.â Eddie pulled back breathlessly.
âWhatâs wrong?â You look up at him, concernedâŚ. Had he changed his mind?
âI think we should slow down.â
âI donât want to.â
âSweetheart, itâs okay. We have time.â
âNo.â You shook your head. âIâve waited long enough.â
âSweetheart, I donât thinkâ"
"No! I need this, I want this." You look him dead in the eyes.
"You tell me if you want to stop, okay? Promise me."
"Okay, Eddie."
Eddie waists, not another second to take you in a feverish kiss. His hands roam your body, landing on your ass. It excites you so much you can feel the familiar tingling ruminating lower and lower.
You moan his name and press your whole body into his; you need to feel him, all of him⌠and you can. His hard cock is digging into your hip bone, and you connect your bodies.
Stumbling back without breaking the kiss, Eddie leads you to your bedroom. You fall backwards onto your bed with a gasp.
hovering above you is Eddie. You can see the lust behind his eyes as he scans your body.
"If im doing anything you don't like, tell me. This is about you, okay?"
âOkay,â you breathe as he lowers down to his knees. You watch his hands run up the tops of your thighs before spreading them wider so he can have access to where he wants you the most.
Running his fingers down your centre, you canât help but moan at the feeling. You are greedy; you want to feel everything all at once.
Wasting no more time, you pull down the stretchy waistband of your pants and yank your underwear down with it. No time to be self-conscious- the need to feel Eddie fueled your desire.
âBeautiful,â Eddie whispered as he left a trail of kisses up your thigh, hovering just above your mound.
âCan I taste you?â
âYes, please. Take care of me, I want it so bad,â You whine desperately. If you werenât so horny, youâd be embarrassed by your words, but with Eddie, everything felt right.
Eddieâs lips latched into your soaked pussy, and you watched as his eyes rolled back in enjoyment. He didnât hold back; he wanted this to be the best head of your life, even if itâs the only head of your life. You grip his hair in your fist, not expecting the pleasure to ripple through you so quickly.
âTaste so good, sweetheart; I wanna live in this pussy.â
âOh god!â You cry as a single digit breaches your wanton hole.
Slowly, with his tongue and his finger pumping into you, youâre nearly there. Considering how long youâve waited for this moment, it doesn't take much more. Youâre cumming within minutes.
âGood girl, you okay?â he slaps the inside of your thigh and your body jerks.
âMore,â you beg. It wasnât enough; nothing would be able to satiate you until his cock was deep inside you.
âYou sure? We can stop if youâre not readyâ
âNeed you now.â You grab him by the shirt collar and pull him towards you for a searing kiss.
âOkay,â he mumbles into your mouth, crawling up your body.
You loved the feel of his weight on top of you, consuming you with every kiss.
âWant you, Eddieâ you moan as your hands toy with the hem of his shirt.
âYou have me.â He dips his head lower to caress your throat with his lips.
Your breath hitches when you feel his teeth scrape across your soft, delicate skin.
Eddie didnât lift his head until he was satisfied with the dark mark left on your neck.
When he unlatched from your throat, you demanded he take his clothes off.
Eddie loved your eagerness; he saw a spunk in you that he could only have dreamed of.
You also removed the rest of your clothing as he stripped.
When Eddie removed his last layer over his head, he couldnât help but ogle your body, the way your head sunk into the pillows, your breasts, your soaked pussy on display for him. He was devouring you with his eyes.
You motion him to you with a single finger, breaking him out of the trace you put him under.
âGod, youâre so beautiful.â Eddie was like a feline the way he crawled up on the bed to you.
The heat rushed to your cheeks; somehow, this felt more intimate than what he was doing between your legs a moment ago.
âI want you,â you repeat yourself.
Eddie cups your face, and you cup his in return. His eyes bore into your soul, leaving not a trace unturned as he searched your entire being before kissing you one more.
You moan into his mouth, and Eddieâs cock grazes your mound collecting your slick as his hips ground into you.
âReady?â He asked desperately; he needed to be inside of you.
âYes.â
He quickly got up and you moaned,
âWhat are you?- oh,â you blush
You see him reach for his pants pocket for his wallet as he pulls out a condom.
Quickly he rips it open, and your mouth waters as he rolls it over his cock. This is the first time youâre seeing what he looks like down there, and youâre getting nervous because how is that supposed to fit?
âSweetheart? You'll be okay.â He smirks.
Cocky, shit.
âIf I have to ask you again, Iâm going to do this myself.â You huffed.
âOh really? How do you suppose that?â He pounced back on top of you.
âI have my toys.â
Eddieâs head drops back. âWe will get back to that later. Now Iâm going to fuck you.â
âFinallyâ
Eddie doesnât respond. He just slowly slides his cock through your slick folds collecting your natural lube before inching his way inside of you.
âI need you to relax, sweetheart.â You naturally clench around him. He was so tickled and long. Never had you felt so full, but little did you know Eddie was only a quarter-way in.
âFuck youâre big,â you gasp.
âNo need to stroke my ego, baby girlâ
That made your pussy clench down again.
âOh, you like that?â
You nod your head, yes, unable to speak.
âNotedâ
You could kill him if he wasnât making you feel so good.
âEddie!â You scream as he finally reaches the hilt, gripping him like a koala you donât want to let go.
âFuck, this pussy is so tightâ Eddie slowly works his hips in and out of you; with each thrust, you can feel his bush brush against your clit, and it sends a tingle down your spine.
You moan in response; everything feels like it is on fire; never had you expected this level of sex. No wonder everyone is obsessed with it.
âHarderâ
âYou sureâ
âYes, god yes!â
Eddie's hips snap into you with such force your head almost hits the headboard. The bed is rocking; you have never experienced something so wanted, so needed, so absolutely taken over by someone else.
âEddie! Eddie! Eddie!â You chant his name, which only makes him go harder. His fingers dug into your hips, gripping you so hard, not ever wanting to let you go.
âFuck me, this pussy s'good.â He spits through his teeth. His primal side is showing, and you can't get enough.
Nothing can again amount to this amount of pleasure; you're ruined for life.
"You close, baby girl?" Edie smirks when he feels you clamp don't on his cock when he spits out the words.
A guttural moan is unleashed from your throat in response because, god, you're so close.
The pressure building inside of you is about to burst as Eddie's calloused fingers find your sensitive clit.
"Come on baby, I know you gotta another one for me. I know you do."
Eddies words tipped you over the edge. Your body seized as his thick cock continued to pump into your greedy pussy. Your orgasm took over, and Eddie watched you silently scream for him.
Before you became overstimulated, Eddie also came shortly after, only a few more pumps, and he spilled himself into the condom.
With Eddie beside you huffing and puffing, you couldn't wipe the stupid grin off your face.
"That good, huh?"
"I don't want to stroke your ego, but yeah... fuck me" You hid your face.
"I just did." Eddie rolled over to kiss all over your face and you can't help but giggle.
"I hope we can do that again," you shy away.
"Oh, we are one thousand percent doing that again. "

â.Ë áĄŁđŠ â â show donât tell with skz !
âş đš . genre: fluff
âş đš . a/n: how the boys say i love you without saying i love you. hope you like it <3
đŕ§Â chan đৠ- âIâm here for you.â
And he always means it. No matter how busy or stressed he is, if you call Chan comes running. Being your shoulder to cry on is his full-time job, to be honest.
This doesnât only apply to when youâre going through something though. Chan is there for you when things are hard, of course, but heâs also always present when you accomplish something, doesnât matter how small it is.
The most supportive boyfriend who never forgets to celebrate you. Itâs such a normality in your relationship that you only realize how thoughtful and amazing he is when you look back, and his face comes to mind for every major event that took place in your life in the past year.
Is the epitome of âride or dieâ and you canât change my mind.
đŕ§Â minho đৠ- by always looking out for you.
No matter what you are doing, Minhoâs eyes will always gravitate towards you. To ensure you are safe, that you arenât struggling with anything or feeling uncomfortable. Or so, he says, but in reality, he really enjoys just observing you in your everyday life, every action of yours adorable in his eyes.
If you are struggling, heâs by your side in a heartbeat. Most of the time, you wonât even realize heâs there until whatever was giving you problems is taken care of.
You canât open something? Minhoâs got it. Youâre struggling with work? Heâs quietly thinking of a solution and writing it down. Youâre stressed? Heâs already prepared your favorite snack and is on his way over.
Minho loves quietly yet his actions donât let you forget about that love even for a second.
đŕ§Â changbin đৠ- by peppering kisses all over your face every opportunity he gets.
To him, you are absolutely adorable and sometimes, he gets this urge to just smother you with all of his love all at once. Whatâs âplaying it coyâ? Changbinâs never heard of her.
Heâs usually one who doesn't shy away from expressing his love verbally, however, there are times when words just arenât enough.
So, heâll randomly lean towards you and start small, with a kiss or two on your cheeks before giving in and not stopping until heâs kissed every inch of your face.
He doesnât play when it comes to you so, heâll only stop when he shows you exactly how strong the feelings he carries in his heart are.
đŕ§Â hyunjin đৠ- by keeping a picture of you in his wallet.
I mean, of course, this is Hyunjin we are talking about. And the picture in question is one he took himself on one of your many dates.
Switches it out once every couple of months and sometimes, even keeps two at a time. He canât help it â you look so beautiful and radiant, that being greeted by your smiling face every time he opens his wallet lifts his spirits instantly.
When he misses you, heâll absentmindedly open his wallet for no reason just to see your face, even though heâs aware he can call and see your beaming smile whenever he pleases.
Swiftly sneaks a picture of himself in your own wallet so you can match.
đŕ§Â jisung đৠ- by dedicating every song he writes to you.
Being loved by you is the best thing thatâs ever happened to him and nobody can convince Jisung otherwise.
Thatâs why, every time he sits down to work, his head is full of thoughts of you that just never go away. His heart is so full of love, he canât help but at least attempt to put all of that into words.
Has written dozens of songs about you and the magical way you make him feel and they all sound like something that would play at the gates of heaven, just dreamy. The purest form of love.
Grabs his guitar and serenades you only with the songs he deems worthy of your attention.
đŕ§Â felix đৠ-  âyou look tense, let me give you a massage.â
Thatâs what he says but, in the end, he pampers you until you have to physically stop him. A hand massage, a face one, Felix becomes your personal masseur.
When you do stop him, he just moves on to hugging and cuddling you, leaving the occasional kiss here and there.
He canât be too far apart from you, it physically hurts him. Has to touch and feel you near at all times, no matter what youâre doing. Links your pinkies together and just follows you around like a puppy.
Will do your skincare and even wash your hair for you, anything. Just ask.
đŕ§Â seungmin đৠ- âthis reminded me of you.â
No matter what heâs doing, if he spots something in a store that makes his thoughts rush to you, heâs stopping that activity and going in immediately.
Doesnât care about the money â the gifts can range from jewellery to random, sometimes ugly souvenirs he finds abroad at a gift shop. His mind works in mysterious ways, you can never know what silly thing would suddenly remind Seungmin of you next.
âYou.â And itâs either the ugliest keychain youâve ever seen or the most beautiful flowers, thereâs no in-between.
Gets you a stuffed puppy so you can also be reminded of him at all times, just like heâs constantly thinking of you.
đŕ§Â jeongin đৠ- by quietly wiping your tears and holding you when upset.
Heâs the type that wonât say anything and just bring you into the warmest, most comforting hug ever. His bear hugs will have you melting in his arms, making you feel super safe.
So gentle and soft-spoken, literally handles you like youâre made of glass when he sees something has truly upset you.
Will wipe your tears and listen to whatever you have to say, giving you his full attention. Also gets you water and helps you remove your makeup, or fix your hair when you feel better.
Wonât let go until heâs convinced you actually feel better and even then, an eye is still on you while he intertwines your fingers and goes on about his business.

obvious
âŠâ merchant!qimir x acolyte!reader | fluff | angst | humor | 2.3k
SUMMARY | during an evening of drinking with qimir, he strangely asks if you've ever thought about dating your master.
WARNINGS | kissing, drinking, implications of a spicy time post-story
RATING | teen+
NOTES | again this is probably outside of canon but all i can say is ilq (i love qimir)
///
In the lower level of Qimirâs newest target of a store invasion, several drunken bottles of alcohol and used shot glasses clutter the front counter. You sit across from him on a high stool, as if you were a customer to his bartending.Â
Which wasnât quite far off, since he was the one who poured and bought everything for you tonight. Qimir had called for a celebration; you had successfully raided a small village nearby, seizing all valuable goods and leaving no witnesses behind. You did it for yourself, but also for your anonymous masterâthe same one Qimir serves.Â
While you are your masterâs dedicated pupil, Qimirâs tasked with being your resourceful guide. He follows you across the galaxy, always having anything you need at your disposal and knowing where to go, who to find, and how to concoct everything from anything.
Sure, he may be clumsy and occasionally overly inquisitive, but youâve grown to like him.Â
So much that you're retelling the time when a female Gungan tried to fight you in a cantina on Tatooine.
âAnd so, it turned out they thought I was the one who stole her ex-boyfriend, but it was the human at the table next to mine!â
Qimir breaks into a smile and nearly spits out the lomin ale in his mouth. After a fit of coughing and swallowing his drink, he shakes his head fondly. He seems truly amused and fully relaxed, though perhaps mostly due to the alcohol.
A few beats pass. It's a comfortable silence at first.Â
But then he starts playing with the stem of his bottle, and the air slowly begins to shift. It shifts entirely when he asks the next questionâ
âWhy aren't you like this around him?âÂ
Him referring to your shared master.Â
The mixture of spicebrew, lomin ale, Corellian wine, and whatever else you had has lowered your filter completely. You answer frankly, folding out your fingers to list the reasons.Â
âFirstly, he needs to get me drunk. Secondly, heâs not you, Qimir. And third, disregarding everything I just said: how do you know I'm not?â
âAm I wrong?â he presses, his eyes fixed on you as he raises an eyebrow and takes another swig of his drink.
âI mean, if he eventually shows his face to me, maybe I could. But until thenâŚâÂ
Nonchalantly, you lift a shoulder and down the rest of whatâs in your cup. After finishing, you lean back onto the counter, resting your chin in your upturned palm, and wait for him to fill your cup again.Â
And so he does, but Qimir becomes uncharacteristically pensive. Eyes focused on serving you, rather than on you. After pouring your drink, his playfulness with the bottle turns into a tight-fisted grip. Maybe drunk Qimir was more somber. Quiet.
âMaybeâŚâ His voice drops to a lower, deeper register than youâre used to, his eyes avoiding yours as his mouth tightens. An index finger rhythmically taps against his bottle, like a dooming countdown. âMaybe heâs not sure if youâre loyal enough to see his face.âÂ
The sudden slamming of your cup against the counter breaks his demeanor, and heâs back to being his usual, easily-startled self.Â
âWell, that frustrates the shit out of me because I respect him!â you cry, almost yelling at him.Â
Qimirâs gaze sharpens, giving you his entire attention, and you stare back resolutely. Readying yourself, as if confiding in him might reach your masterâs ears, wherever he may be. Hell, he probably was listening with a device somewhere on Qimir, on you, or within the store. Â
âI obey him. I've killed for him. Iâd do anything for him,â your voice slightly wavers, but you push on. âI am literally devoted to him with every breath in my body.âÂ
Thereâs a sting in your eyes, but you refuse to let yourself show weakness, even if itâs just Qimir in front of you. Bringing the cup to your mouth, you let the burn scald your throat, drowning any trace of sadness or frustration.Â
You chug for some time. After a while, Qimir lifts a hand, but you abruptly stop drinking and interject with a tired chuckle and small smile; he awkwardly drops his hand.Â
The serious moment passes swiftly with a twinkle in your eye. You silently thank the alcohol for that.
âAlthough, maybe that's half a lie.â
In the corner of your vision, you catch the intrigued quirk in Qimirâs eyebrow, along with a flicker of anger. Barely noticeable, but itâs there, and you wonder why he would be angry.
You waggle a finger. âKeep this between us, butââyou lean in closer and drop your voice to a whisperââI'm probably more devoted to you than to him.â
You exchange a glance, and the expression on his face shifts from seriousness to amusement, the flicker of anger completely dissipated. He mirrors your earlier stance, resting his chin in his palm.Â
âThat's only because I help you all the time,â he says, granting you a soft smile that reaches his eyes.Â
This is a rare moment from Qimir, so you try your best to commit it to memory. Remembering his warm glow, the crinkles around his eyes, and how close he is to you. So close that the hint of the alcohol in his breath brushes your face, but itâs not as strong as you thought it would be.
âWell, there's thatâŚâ you admit, nodding, and you break eye contact as you sayâ
âBut you're also my friend, Qimir.â
You barely breathe the last few words out in a whisper, almost as if you were ashamed to say it. But you arenâtâworry merely runs rampant as you fear rejection or something of a similar shade, despite it being just a platonic confession.Â
âI am?âÂ
His reaction causes you to peer back at him. He draws his head back with a tilt, and youâve never seen him so puzzled before. Thereâs a brief pause as he gives it some thought, his eyebrows furrowing in contemplation.
Then, he nods his head and his lips curl into a crooked, almost cocky, grin.Â
âHuh. I guess I am.â
You clutch your chest in jest and muster your best puppy-eyed frown. âOuch, if I knew this relationship was that one-sided, I wouldâve asked him for another one of his followers to replace you.âÂ
The glimmer in his eyes reads as good-natured, but the blatant flexing of his grip against the edge of the counter says otherwise.Â
âYou wouldn't.â  Â
You push back, jutting out your chin and getting close to him again with a flash of a smirk.Â
âOh, I absolutely would.â
You stare at each other, holding your ground.Â
But then he breaks the little game when he slightly drags his lower lip between his teeth, followed by a fleeting glance towards your mouth.
Your breathing hitches.Â
In an instant, the moment shatters when Qimir clears his throat and pulls back. Â
âDo youâŚâ Qimir begins hesitantly, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing a random spot on the counter. He inhales deeply, almost as if heâs steeling himself, then continues, âHave you ever thought you and him could be, like, something more?â
âYou meanâŚâ You squint, searching for the right words. â...have I ever thought about dating my master?âÂ
âMm-hmm.âÂ
You raise an eyebrow and stare blankly at him.Â
âYou've met him, right? Weâre talking about the same guy?â
Before he answers, he sips again from his bottle. You become entranced by Qimirâs Adamâs apple as it bobs with each glug. Maybe these thoughts were being filtered through beer goggles, but if Qimir wanted to know about your current ranked dating choices, he'd probably be at the top of your list.Â
A soft pop sounds as his lips detach from it. The word kissable flashes through your mind.Â
âI mean, I know he's not really the talkative type butââ
âBut what if he's butt-ass ugly?â you blurt out in a screech, pressing your hands into your cheeks in your drunken state.
âHe is not butt-ass ugly,â Qimir cuts in, more defensively than you expect.Â
You drop your hands and chortle loudly, so much that it echoes throughout the store. In disbelief, you grin ear to ear.Â
âI thought you said you haven't seen him before!â you say, holding out an arm.Â
âIâI didn't. Haven't! I havenât,â he stammers, raising a hand and shaking his head. He runs a hand through his disheveled hair. âBut why must you assume he's ugly?â
You groan, shaking closed fists and tapping them to your forehead. âWhy else wouldnât he take off that stupid mask?âÂ
You glance up, seeing Qimirâs nostrils flare as he opens his mouth, but you quickly cut him off.Â
âAnd why would I like him that way anyway? All he does is just bark orders and share wise, yet oddly cryptic, phrases.âÂ
âHey, so do I,â Qimir retorts, flicking the tip of your nose with his finger. The force he uses makes your nose sting a bit, but youâre sure he didnât mean to flick you that roughly. In response, you ruffle your nose petulantly.Â
You could definitely get used to being like this with Qimir more often.Â
âYeah, but youâre not as cryptic,â you point out, âand heâd be lucky if he was half as handsome as you, Qimir.â
You lightly touch his arm, expecting him to bask in your compliment, but he catches you off guard with a chuckle instead.Â
âWhy are you laughing at my compliment?â you ask, somewhat hurt.
âI'm just enjoying your company, myââhe hesitates for a second, as if catching himself from saying something else, before meeting your gazeââmy friend.âÂ
The way he says friend hangs in the air, carrying an unspoken weight. He shakes his head, as if brushing off a thought, and laughs awkwardly. âIâve gotta get used to that.â
Surprisingly, he continues to dwell on the subject of you and your master. âI mean, if you really think about it, the guy's probably lonely. Probably also likes you a lot more than he lets on andââ
âOkay, stop.â You hold both hands out. âWhy are you trying to set me up with him?â You gasp, âOh, my godâis he your brother?âÂ
âWow, time flies by so fast!â Qimir exclaims dramatically, quickly getting up from his stool and practically tripping on his own feet. âItâs getting late, and Iâm gonna head to bed. Good night!âÂ
In the blink of an eye, heâs already darting upstairs to his temporary bedroom.Â
âQimir, answer me!â you call out. âIs he a distant cousin? You mustâve seen him before if heâs related to you.âÂ
âGood night, my friend!â he hollers back.
âQimir, get back here!â
âSweet dreams! And drink some water before you go to bed!âÂ
Even in moments like these, Qimir still manages to have the final say, his words always laced with the utmost care for you.
///
A few hours go by, the moonlight shining strongly in the night sky. In the comfort of your makeshift bed nestled in one of the corners of the store, you toss and turn aimlessly. Your mind replays everything with Qimir from the last few hours.
And then realization hits you like a sack of duracrete bricks.
You bolt upright up from the bed and switch between muffling a scream in your pillow and smacking it against your face.Â
How could you have been so blind to how obvious it all was?
Throwing aside your covers, you carefully and quietly tiptoe upstairs.Â
At the top of the stairs, with the help of a few burning candles nearby, you peek at the sight of Qimir snoring softly on his side, arms flopped in different directions; it warms your heart.
You approach and take a seat on the empty side of his bed, summoning courage to gently trace the contours of his face, following the sharp lines of his jaw. He stirs awake moments later, turning to face you directly.Â
âHey, whatâs up?â Qimir mumbles groggily. He rubs his eyes. âEverything all right?âÂ
âQimir, can you pass a message onto my master?â you ask urgently.Â
âRight now?â he groans in annoyance, sitting up. âCan't it wait until morning?âÂ
âNo, I'm sure you can pass it on now. Itâs a pretty simple message.âÂ
You lean in. Itâs a quick kiss as your hand rests on his arm. It has to be quick, or else you might change your mind.Â
Plush lips press against yours. Itâs still and tense for a beat, and then he replies with a slight kiss back. Heâs the one who breaks away first, but he leans his forehead against yours.
âUh, I⌠You want me to kiss him?â he asks in confusion.Â
You slide your hands to the nape of his neck.
âIf you mean kissing yourself, then yes, Master.âÂ
Like flipping a switch, Qimirâs demeanor transforms into something entirely else. His presence intensifies, exuding confidence and strength youâre unused to. His eyes darken, locking onto yours with a gaze that can penetrate your soul.Â
His rich, deep voice returns from before, now tinged with authority.
âTook you long enough, my acolyte.â Â
This Qimirâyour masterâmoves swiftly with urgency. His grip on your body is firm, almost possessive. His kisses are passionate, his tongue exploring your mouth with fervor.Â
âTold you I'm not âbutt-ass ugly,ââ he mumbles, almost growling, between kisses. You giggle, but your giggle quickly turns into a moan as he presses his body firmly into yours. Â
âAnd my mask isnât stupid. I'll have you know it saved me so manyââ
You silence your master with another kiss, focusing on the present and pushing aside debates that could be saved for later.
For now, all you want is to remain in the comfort of his bed, letting the night truly begin, marking the beginning of what your master and you have unknowingly long awaited for.Â

just a bit of luck your way // Self Aware Wuthering Waves (Jiyan)
Pairing(?): SelfAware!Jiyan and Player!Reader
Synopsis: You're one of the many players who started playing Wuthering Waves on release and of course the main thing you waited for is pulling for Jiyan.
From Mayaree: celebrating rn coz i got Jiyan and his weapon on my first 10 pull on each banner (dont know if that's supposed to happen but still a celebration).
CW: self aware au; no concrete spoilers because i just reached a little past level 20; swearing; second person pov (you, your, etc.)
Word Count: 2.8k (unedited)
Surely, surely there was something wrong with this game. You know for a fact you ain't that lucky - especially in these anime gacha games - so either there was something wrong with this game or the devs were just that giving to their players.
You had decided to play Wuthering Waves on a whim, caught up on the excited chatter you've been hearing all over the internet at its coming release. Patiently waiting for the servers to open worldwide, you sat down on your cozy chair with some snacks and a drink, ready to play. A grin ticks your lips upwards as you're taken to choosing your character.
You gotta say, the game is pretty amazing on your first run. Attack, parry, dodge. Seems simple enough. With a few fights, you were getting used to the routine and the enemies' patterns. If you had to nitpick something, though-
"This feels a little too easy." You were by no means an overly skilled player, as far as you were aware. Maybe it's because you're just barely past the start of the game, but it feels like the enemies were dying a bit too quickly. And you were only dealing like 10 damage per swing.
But just as you say it, you sit up in your chair in attention. Did⌠did they just get harder to kill? No, wait, you did just raise your Union Level, so maybe that's why. The enemies' attack patterns are slightly more advanced and although you're dealing more damage, their health bars are keeping up with you. Well, you were complaining earlier, so maybe this was a good thing? You keep playing, now being kept on your toes during combat.
After grinding a bit more - how much time have you spent already? Not enough, you think - you finally unlock what you've been waiting for this whole time.
The gacha system.
You're no stranger to gacha games. If anything, it's the reason you played this game in the first place. Sure the combat was nice, but what was better than collecting these prettily designed anime men and women and running around with them on the open world map? Nothing was more fulfilling than staring at your growing roster of playable characters the longer you played the game.
And for Wuthering Waves, the first addition to your would-be collection appears on the screen.
You'd be lying if you said you were going into the game blind. With the amount of Jiyan videos you've seen from the betas and leaks, you may as well have played him for a month now. From idle animations to his forte attack, you watched as many videos available as you could. And each one solidified for you that you needed to pull for him. That man was coming home one way or another.
Grinding a little more astrite by doing a couple of missions here and there - you had 1,300 astrite, just a little more for the home goal and then- you were ready. Sure it's just a meager 10 pulls but it was definitely a start. And you never know⌠right? You click the 10 pull button and-
OH??? SHIT, WAS THAT GOLD JUST NOW???? YOU KNOW FOR A FACT GOLD IS A GOOD THING, RIGHT??? You click through the 3-star results as quick as you can and- YEAH YEAH THAT'S HIS ANIMATION IT'S HIM HE'S HOME IT'S JIYAN!
You all but kick the chair away and bump your whole lower half on the table as you jump up in joy. You may as well be doing backflips while you're at it. You got him??? On the first 10 pull, no less???? This game was spoiling you holy shit. And it's only been a day.
Immediately heading over to the characters screen, you go to Jiyan's profile and just. Stare at him. Basking in the fact that you played this game on day 1, got the first available limited 5 star, and on your first fucking 10 pull.
Holy shit.
You scream into a pillow and hope your housemates don't hear. Or maybe they should hear because this has got to be the luckiest day of your life and you'd flex it on their faces if they understood the gacha game hype. Going back to the screen, Jiyan is doing one of his idles, twirling around his spear. My god, he looked glorious. His whole appearance was both beautiful and imposing. He looked so cool, hot damn.
"I'll be relying on you from now on, general." You grin once more and spin your chair with a whoop.
You level him up as high as you can, using all the leveling materials available at the moment. He's capped out at 20 right now because you did just start playing and still haven't unlocked character ascension, but you're willing to grind more just to raise him. You even move him to the first spot in your team (sorry, Rover, you can take the next spot).
You head on over to training, to gather some weapon and leveling materials but also because you want to test him out in battle. Damn it all, those beta videos of him didn't disappoint. He was just as good, if not even better since you're the one playing him right now.
He was definitely fun to play with. Of course, all the characters are fun to play with, but Jiyan was twice as fun. Would it be bold to say it was like you were meant to play as him? Suddenly the game is easier again. But not because the enemies are easy to kill, more so you feel like you're able to move better. You seem to be able to time dodging and parrying a lot better, even knowing when to attack at the best moment. Clearly, it was a really good decision to pull for him.
When you've grinded enough - he's level 40 now and you've fully accepted you're in this game for the long run - you go to level up his 4-star broadblade and then stop. You've saved up enough astrite for another 10 pull, right? Maybe you still have some luck left from the Jiyan pull, so⌠maybe?
"What do you think, Jiyan? Do I go for it?" You laugh at the absurdity of your one sided conversation. "I think you deserve your main weapon."
To your surprise, you watch as he laughs once, shaking his head and looking away with a barely noticeable smile (it's hard to tell with your gadget's graphics, but you definitely heard him). Was⌠was that part of his idle animations? You make a split-second decision to check his profile. Uh, no? No, it wasn't? Where'd that come from??? Well, maybe it was a secret animation plugged in by the devs. Game devs did like adding a little secret every now and then, right?
Anyways, although indirectly, Jiyan just gave you his answer. You were pulling for his weapon. You mean, there's still like 20 days left for you to pull if you don't get it right away, so there's no harm in building pity right now. Right? Right. To the gacha you go.
Breathing out - maybe a small prayer to the gacha gods in your head - you click the 10 pull button on the limited-time weapon banner-
WAITWAITWAITWAIT WAS THAT FUCKING GOLD??? AGAIN??? THERE'S NO SHOT. THERE'S NO FUCKING SHOT THAT THIS IS-
You stare at the golden glowing weapon on your screen in disbelief. A second passes, and then another as you stare at the green and gold broadblade. Verdant Summit. In the flesh. Excitement follows soon after like a tidal wave. You're off your chair in the next second again, fist-pumping the air like no tomorrow. You don't even care if your housemates hear you jumping around this time.
"JIYAN, LOOK, WE ACTUALLY GOT YOUR WEAPON!" You think you hear someone knock at your walls but you could care less right now.
When you're seated and back to your screen, you immediately equip the blade to Jiyan and stare again. Fuck, he really did look cool. With the sword, he's even twice as cool. Okay, he was hot, you're not gonna sugarcoat it. He was both in equal measure. You try swinging the blade around and breathe out in awe.
"It looks like it was made for you," you laugh. Well, surely it was. The blade was designed for him from the moment it was created, but still. You hear his little laugh again, but the animation seems to be cut short when you accidentally slash. Whoops.
When the excitement dies down, exhaustion sets in. You look at the time. Damn, it was that late? You really played the game for a whole day? Woof.
But you think it was well worth it as you watch Jiyan with his weapon in action. You finish up battling with a few more enemies before leaning back on your chair, content. Silly as it may be, you wish your team goodnight before logging off for the day.
Jiyan waits until he can't hear your voice or feel the warmth that overtakes him whenever you use him before he moves. He groans as he stretches. You really did enjoy using him to explore Solaris 3, no doubt about that. Not that he was complaining.
Far from it, really.
"Cheater." Jiyan blinks once before turning around. Rover stands there, arms crossed with a frown set upon their face. Jiyan could tell there was no real bite to their expression or words, but he still found it rather funny.
"Are you talking to me, Rover?" Jiyan's voice is calm and collected, but he can feel the corner of his mouth tick upwards ever so slightly.
"You know what you did." Rover scoffs, still lacking actual bite. It was more like teasing, if anything. "You wanted to make them happy that much?"
"Is it not possible I just wanted to visit Jinzhou for a bit? Their goals and mine simply aligned at the moment and I used the opportunity." A lie, but not quite.
Yes, he did want to visit Jinzhou. Word had reached him of the new Rover who even the Magistrate had taken a keen interest to. He wanted to make sure they weren't anything dangerous, despite the prophecy. JuĂŠ knows the last thing they need is the Midnight Rangers at the Norfall Barriers and an ambush in the main city.
But the moment he arrived, things were very different. For one, the very Rover he was so wary of ended up working with him in a small team of three. The Rover was no normal person, either. Yes, Jiyan could tell that they were strong and would be able to get stronger at a rapid pace. But they also seemed too observant. How should he put it? It felt like they were seeing something else he couldn't. Or they were seeing everything differently.
And then he felt it for himself.
Your voice is warm but thunderous, and yet it was not painful for the ears. Loud with excitement he can't quite understand. You're excited⌠that you have him? You even said you would rely on him from now on. He could laugh at how easy you were to please. Something so simple and you were already so happy. Maybe it's simply your emotions leaking into his own soul, but he could feel the genuine joy that you were feeling. He prides himself for choosing to come home as soon as he could if only to share in your happiness. He wanted to understand whatever it is that makes you so excited. After so much bloodshed, your joy felt like a breath of fresh air he hadn't taken in so long.
As you use him to walk around the world and fight Tacet Discords, it felt like he was seeing the world for the first time again. Maybe this is what the Rover was seeing with their observant eyes. Jiyan felt like he was experiencing Solaris 3 for the first time once again. Whenever you gasped at the sights of high cliffs and the boundless sky, he may as well be sighing in amazement with you.
"Right⌠Took the opportunity. Sure." Rover raised an eyebrow. "And the broadblade?"
Jiyan shrugs. "I find that I work better with a familiar weapon." Another lie, but not quite.
He didn't mind using another weapon. His skills lay in his own sharpened abilities, not in whatever object he had on hand. He could manage fine with any other broadblade you gave him, and he trusted you to help him fight. You fumbled a little bit here and there, made him attack a little recklessly at times, but you were doing your best. Jiyan could count on you in battle.
However, when you asked him if he wanted his weapon, he stopped. Having his sword on hand would do him good, of course. As he told the Rover, he fights even better with Verdant Summit. But, there was something about you asking his opinion. He knows you cannot read his thoughts. And yet you asked. It felt rather nice⌠A connection between you both. A familiarity he did not expect but was definitely not unwelcome.
He couldn't help the laugh that escaped him. To his surprise, you actually hear him. He frowns at the short panic this causes (did you not want to hear from him after all?), but thankfully you move on from it quickly enough. You take his laugh as a good sign and decide to acquire his weapon.
When he saw the shooting stars alight the waters below, Jiyan pondered for a second. Surely, there won't be any harm in helping you a bit, right? He reaches down and touches one of the stars, immediately making it light a glowing golden light as it shoots to the sky. He feels your joy before he hears it and with it, his own chest is filled with warmth.
There's a silence that overtakes you when you see the weapon that makes Jiyan worried. Did⌠you not want his weapon after all? But that can't be right, you even asked him for his thoughts. Or did you sense that you received it without effort? Did you realize he helped you get it? Maybe he shouldn't have meddled with your abilities.
Before he can overthink and sink into a spiral of doubt, your screams of joy and the sound of you jumping around in pure happiness fill his ears. Jiyan breathes out in relief, another small smile making its way to his lips. He was worried for nothing. Maybe you were just shocked for a little bit. Did you think he would not help you get it? He knew you would, he just helped you receive it earlier than you would have. He may or may not have simply wished to hear your joyous laughter at the moment.
As you give him Verdant Summit, he tests its weight and familiarity in his hand and perform a couple of swings (maybe he wanted to show it off a bit for you, just a touch). You think it was made for him? Well surely it was, and yet the comment makes him laugh a little more. You've been making him a laugh for a while now.
You enjoy a few more moments with him, battling together. He enjoys them as well, if he was honest, as you spend the time praising him and being in awe. It was rather embarrassing if he was honest, but he appreciated it all the same. Before he knew it, time had flown in an instant. You bid him and the others goodnight before leaving, and he knows you leave with a smile on your lips.
"Uh-huh. Right. I definitely believe you." Rover laughs. "Don't think I didn't see you smile, General Jiyan."
Almost on instinct, Jiyan covers his mouth with a hand, looking away. It barely concealed his embarrassment. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Be careful the others don't catch you helping them too much." Baizhi suddenly speaks from the side. She was so quiet Jiyan almost forgot she was there. The Rover smiles teasingly, before they turn around with a small wave. Baizhi follows soon after with a nod. "Chixia's already complaining that they're showing you too much favoritism."
"I- yes, of course. Thank you for the advice, Baizhi." Jiyan clears his throat.
Was it that obvious? Most likely. Rover and Baizhi may have seen too much considering they've been traveling together for a while now, but if even the others were noticing his closeness to you then he was doing a poor job at hiding it. However, was there really a need to hide it? The others did not try hiding their favor for the warm voice they hear and who guides them. So, there was no need to hide it himself, was there?
He spins his newly obtained sword - an old companion, but he felt like he was seeing it for the first time all over again, with better memories attached to it - and smiles softly. Yes, there was no need to hide how he favored your connection to him. It wouldn't even be a bold claim for him to say he was happy that he had made the decision to come when you called for him.
Jiyan hopes you stay with him for a while longer, if only to see what you see, feel happiness the way you do. He'd like that a lot.
From Mayaree: Said I was gonna write Self Aware Star Rail but I just got too excited. Thank you, WuWa.

â IN THE WAKE OF FLAMES. PT I
eris vanserra x archeron!reader
summary: even before you became fae, your favourite season was autumn. itâs a little hard to hide this when your least favourite newly appointed high lord has made it his lifeâs mission to be the most annoying male in your life.
a/n: not sure what this is but let me know if u want more lol
Youâd think that hiding behind the Spymaster of the Night Court, a literal Shadowsinger, would allow you to blend in well enough to go unnoticed.
The auburn silk of your dress is a near perfect match to the grandeur of the Autumn Court ballroom youâre unfortunate enough to have to be in, and you tell yourself that the attempt at camouflage is the reason you were so drawn to the colour.
When Rhysand approached you and the rest of the Inner Circle with the invitation of a ball thrown by Eris to celebrate his newly inherited title of High Lord, your sister Nesta had dragged you out to shop for new dresses. You were adamant to wear an old gown until the dress caught your eye, the gold beads glinting in the light, almost mimicking a gently burning fire. The deep orange hue of the silk slip was muted ever so slightly by the sheer overlay, cinching at the waist before cascading to the ground and the wisps of fabric around your legs gave the illusion of sparks every time you moved.
Nesta had made a comment about the dress being perfect for Autumn Court and you had to physically restrain yourself from grimacing. You just liked the colour. It didnât mean a thing.
Nesta and Feyre looked like perfect representatives of the Night Court and even Elain was donning soft shades of purple and blue tonight, a perfect embodiment of twilight. You loved your sisters, but you felt like you never quite fit in to the Night Court the way they had grown to. And you certainly felt like you stuck out like a sore thumb tonight.
Eris was definitely going to comment on the dress and you curse yourself internally, not having thought it through. He was jarring at the best of times, let alone a night that was solely dedicated to him. And you were dressed in the colours of his court.
You were extremely glad when Erisâ mother was the one to greet you all when you first entered the Autumn Court and not him. It allowed you to fully appreciate the beauty of his lands with unrestrained awe. Your sisters knew that Autumn had always been your favourite season, so the way you were so happy catching each falling leaf out of the sky was even more amusing to them considering they also knew how little patience you had for Eris.
Thatâs why you find yourself hiding behind Azrielâs wings tonight. As soon as you spot Eris making his way to greet Rhysand and Feyre, you sneak behind the Shadowsinger in an attempt to make yourself invisible.
âSeriously?â mutters the Illyrian, but he stays still for you all the same.
âKeep quiet,â you hiss, prodding him in the back. âYou know very well how much he targets me. Gods, I thought he hated Cassian, but I seriously give him a run for his money.â
Mor, overhearing you, snorts into her cup. She creeps up next to you, lowering her voice to match yours. âYou are so oblivious. He doesnât hate you. He wants-â
âMight I interrupt the riveting conversation that Iâm sure is going on behind the Shadowsingerâs wings?â you hear a voice drawl from in front. Your blood runs hot at being caught and you nearly burst into flames when Azriel starts to lower his wings, revealing you and Mor. She rolls her eyes at Erisâ attitude and walks away to talk to the pretty faerie in the green dress.
The years have softened the strained relationship between the Circle and Eris and none of them view him as a threat any longer. That doesnât mean they find him any less irritating though.
Eris smiles at you when you cross your arms and clench your jaw, already feeling impatience with him bubbling up inside of you. He glances down at your dress and his lips quirk up a little higher. âLooking stunning as ever, Y/N.â
The others have already dispersed, and even Rhysand and Feyre have started to garner the attention of other important people they need to talk to. As they start to leave however, Rhysand speaks to in your head. Let me know if heâs bothering you too much. Just⌠try not to throw a plate at his face this time, please.
You glare at the back of Rhysandâs head. That was one time.
He doesnât respond but you see his shoulders shaking with laughter for a millisecond before Feyre nudges him to behave in front of an Autumn Court official.
âTalking about me?â Eris asks, amused. You open your mouth to snap back at him, but notice the growing number of guests that are around the two of you now that the others have moved away. You bite your tongue for once. He is the High Lord now after all.
You plaster on a sweet smile. âOnly good things⌠High Lord.â
Eris raises his brows at that, but chooses not to comment. He holds out his hand instead. âDance with me.â
Youâre about to laugh in his face and tell him absolutely not, but his request has caught the attention of a couple guests and they nosily look over in what youâre sure they think is a subtle way. âIâm a little tired. Sorry,â you say through gritted teeth, still smiling.
âSurely youâre not going to deny me such a small request on tonight of all nights?â he says softly, part mocking and part pleading.
You know for a fact he wonât force you to dance, but if you deny him in front of the other guests, itâll undermine him and while you dislike him, youâre not that cruel. Plus, Feyre would probably have your head if you were to insult a High Lord in public. In private, she only ever laughs when you disparage him, but appearances are everything.
âOf course not,â you deadpan, reaching for his outstretched hand and trying not to react to the way the warmth radiating through his palm is warming your previously cold fingers.
He leads you into the crowd of dancing guests, placing his free hand on your waist as you rest yours on his shoulder, keeping a respectable distance. He rolls his eyes and tugs you forward so your chest is nearly flush against his own. When you glare at him, he merely smirks. âItâs a little hard for two people to dance when one of them is halfway across the room from the other.â
You hear a giggle from one of the guests near you and nearly whip around to glare at them. Eris catches the expression on his face and itâs as though he can read your mind with the way heâs holding back a grin. âMy apologies,â you mumble, before lowering your voice to a whisper that only he can hear. âSmartass.â
âI do so enjoy your pet names for me,â Eris teases, utterly unbothered. Every time you interact with him, you swear to yourself youâll keep a cool head. And every time, you fail. âI like your dress.â
You narrow your eyes at the compliment, but since he hasnât actually said anything insulting or with a double meaning like he usually does, you donât have anything to be annoyed about and begrudgingly accept the nice words. âThank you.â
âYou look ravishing in the colours of my court.â
You step on his foot.
He hisses in pain, but the grin doesnât leave his face when he sees that heâs succeeded in irritating you.
âI didnât choose the colours on purpose,â you say, defensively. âI just happened to like the dress.â
âYou know, you often happen to like Autumn colours,â he muses, expression turning thoughtful and not in a sarcastic way this time. âOr any colour that isnât of the Night Courtâs fashion. Tell me, do your sisters know how you long to find someplace you actually belong?â
Your stomach drops and you feel like youâve been doused in freezing cold water.
âI wasnât aware you were a Daemati, High Lord,â you say, scowling. Eris furrows his brows at the title and spins you out before bringing you back in, this time a little closer than before. âYouâre wrong.â
âStop calling me that,â he mutters, a hint of impertinence in his voice. It takes you by surprise since you assumed heâd be revelling in all the glory, the power of High Lord coursing through his veins. Instead, he sounds like a boy being denied his favourite sweets. âCall me Eris again.â
âNo.â You frown at him, pulling back slightly to meet his stubborn gaze. âWeâre not friends. Youâre the High Lord of Autumn now and Iâll be addressing you as such.â
âWhat, Iâm High Lord now, so you have to respect me all of a sudden?â he asks, tilting his head.
âYes,â you sigh, already anticipating this conversation taking a turn you donât want it to.
âYou have to be pleasant with me?â
âYes.â
âListen to my commands?â
âYes.â
His smile turns wolfish. âThen I command you to call me Eris.â
âI can think of a few other things to call you, if not High Lord,â you mutter, careful not to allow any eavesdroppers to hear.
âAnd while Iâd love to hear them, I doubt theyâd be suitable for the delicate ears of court officials.â
While heâs exactly right, the way his eyes twinkle with mischief tells you that heâs insinuating a completely different type of unsuitable and your cheeks burn.
âDonât you ever tire of being so wearisome?â you say, drily. His eyes soften ever so slightly as they scan over your face.
âDonât you ever tire of pretending?â he asks quietly, meeting your eyes determinedly. You donât bother asking him to clarify.
âWhy canât you just mind your own business?â You try to snap at him, but the way his words hit you deep have all the bite leaving your voice and instead you sound imploring.
Eris doesnât answer your question and just keeps going as the two of you dance. âMy mother wants me to tell you that youâre welcome to visit any time, by the way.â
âIâll let Rhysand know.â
âShe didnât say Rhysand, she said you.â
âWhat?â You look up at him, shocked. That was probably the last thing you expected him to say, âWhy in the world would your mother want me to visit? She saw me hurl that plate at your head last month.â
âYes, and she told me I probably said something to deserve it,â he grumbles, but without any real malice when talking about his mother. Itâs clear as day that he has nothing but love for the sweet woman.
âSheâs a smart one, your mother,â you say, grinning at the thought of Eris being reprimanded. You catch him watching you without speaking and immediately frown, not wanting him to think youâre actually smiling at him. Which you definitely aren't. âI still donât understand why she wants me to visit.â
Eris shrugs, although his eyes stray from yours, and heâs seemingly bored with the conversation as he looks down to the floor as your feet move gracefully across it. âShe likes your attitude.â
âMy bad attitude?â you ask, wrinkling your nose in genuine confusion.
âPassionate,â he corrects you, meeting your eyes again, and you find no traces of humour in them. âAnd âfieryâ as she called it. Donât feel bad for not being able to always control your emotions in front of others like the rest of them. Youâre allowed to feel.â
Any response you might have had is lost to nothing and the silence stretches as your heart feels like itâs slamming against your chest. Itâs a mix of fear and something else with the way heâs looking at you and you suddenly need to be anywhere else.
Clearing your throat, you step back in the middle of dancing and lower your hand from his shoulder to smooth down your dress. Your other hand is still ensnared in his and it lingers there while he speaks.
âIf you do accept my motherâs invitation, you donât have to see me if you donât want to,â Eris adds and you try and listen out for any veiled mocking.
âWhy do you even care?â
At this, his lips quirk up almost involuntarily. Slowly, his fingers start to loosen up around your hand and he begins to let go, faintly trailing his hand down your own as he does so. Instead of stepping away, he walks closer, stepping to the side slightly to lean down so his lips brush against your ear in a way that makes your breathing erratic.
âMy mother was telling me that she saw you practically light up like a forest fire surrounded by the trees. She feels as though you should be able to stay longer next time,â he says in a normal voice before lowering it to a whisper. âShe also overheard one of your sisters call Autumn your favourite season.â
Before you can protest and, letâs face it, lie to him, Eris calmly walks away and you know for a fact that the smug bastard is smirking at the way heâs succeeded in getting under your skin.
Thereâs no way youâre accepting his motherâs invitation, as sweet a woman as she is. You think about all the possible ramifications and decide to push the thought in its entirety out of your mind.
Nothing good ever comes from agreeing to dance with Eris. Itâs extremely similar to playing with fire, you think.
