ghost marriage tobiizu au but with a TWIST.
during a ceasefire between the uchiha and senju, izuna fucks up and kills a shinobi on the border of uchiha lands who it turns out was on her way to the Senju to get ghost-married to Butsuma Senju's youngest son to fulfill Butsuma's dying wish.
this is a pretty major fuck up given the ceasefire, but more importantly because the uchiha have a lot of traditional values and superstitions and getting in the way of a ghost marriage is Very Bad. preventing a spirit from being able to rest, circumventing fate, seeming disrespect to the will of the gods- it's just. extremely bad.
The only solution everyone's able to agree on is if Izuna takes the bride's place. Even Madara begrudgingly agrees, both because this is lesser than the punishment Izuna would otherwise face, and because Hashirama is really pushing for this as a connecting point to turn the ceasefire into a peace treaty (And hopefully that damn village at some point.) Even Izuna's on board, because he really doesn't want to accidentally curse the Uchiha or end up haunted or something.
So he shows up on Senju lands, gets brought very nicely by Hashirama to the wedding venue, and then-
there is an actual living human man there dressed as a groom waiting for him.
APPARENTLY Izuna's the only one who thinks so. Or- one of the only ones? But everyone can *See* the guy, so what the fuck is happening?
Well. When Senju Tobirama was born, it was obvious to everyone that he was fated to die. He was born prematurely, deathly silent, pale as a corpse.
His mother refused to let him be taken away, however, and he lived. But soon he grew hair, and he opened his eyes, and- unnatural. very unnatural. Not to mention his behavior, nothing like any of his brothers before or after.
Maybe in another clan it wouldn't be so concerning, but for the Senju his white hair and red eyes made it seem the natural conclusion was that by refusing to let him be buried, Tobirama's mother had...caused her son's spirit to possess his own dead body, or something along those lines. Even after she dies, they can't get rid of him; not only is Hashirama deeply attached (and doesn't believe a lick of what anyone says about him), but they're pretty sure trying would result in his spirit taking revenge.
Butsuma settled on the ghost marriage in the hopes that they could put Tobirama's spirit to rest and he'd...stop...possessing the corpse, maybe? and they'd get rid of him at last?
Izuna, getting this explanation, barely keeps himself from losing his goddamn mind. he thought the senju were supposed to be clever??? they're healers, does that not come with SOME understanding of genetics???
It's fine though, because it means not only does his brother get his peace but Izuna gets a pretty husband who's desperate for affection and companionship and who's attention he rarely has to share.
#tobiizu#izutobi#might be even more fun if this is a blessed au but hmmm#btw dont worry izuna still tops. the bride can top. this is naruto a husband bottoming is the default truly

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks @voylitscope for tagging me! <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
59! That's more than I thought, honestly.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
490,425. Damn that's so close to half a million. (I need to whip out a short 10k real quick.)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Stucky.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Up Close and Personal
You Like What's in My Head
Not Technically A Bromance
A Blessing I Ain't Tryna Lose
You Like the Way I Look
Two series make multiple appearances here. Can't say I'm surprised, honestly. For a long time my top 5 was all from a single series.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I respond to all of them! Mainly because all I ever want to do after sharing something is to talk about what happens with the characters, so I always jump at the chance to talk with fellow Stucky fans! Another reason of course is also because people are very nice and have actively taken time out of their day to read something I wrote and I wanna say thanks cause it means a lot < 3
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Okay I scrolled through my works and was really tickled by the fact that my angsty endings were either because the main character dies (1, 2, 3) or because the main character doesn't die (1, 2, 3) (just dead inside). So pick your poison I guess.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think it might be Winter Weddings and Blushing Brides. That fic just has the fluffiest of fluff endings.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Not really? My works feature explicit sex scenes and all but I've yet to write a pwp. It's too hard I think.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No. I think go too far into AUs for this. Would be fun though!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so?
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I'm too weird about the writing process and showing anyone (even a co-writer) any unfinished work to do this I think. It seems very scary.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Stucky, of course.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Sooo many wips in my drafts. Maybe part 3 to the never met a man like you before series? I do wanna finish that one day though.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Hmmm maybe character work? That's always my go to answer to this.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Yikes. Run on sentences? Is that too easy of an answer? Do I really have to look into my soul for this?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'm not sure what thoughts anyone might have on this. Is this a controversial thing? Many languages exist. Human (and non-human) characters speak them. I can't imagine taking issue with this fact of life reflected in fiction.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Uhhh I don't even know. Must've been in some friend's notebook back in grade school before we even knew what a fandom was.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
There are a few that come to mind, but A Man After Midnight just has a very special place in my heart. I think it just has everything I love to read and write about. A complicated history, a somewhat unbalanced dynamic, white collar crime, narrative twists, and an alternate universe.
I'm not sure who has and hasn't done this but tagging if interested! @sparkagrace @gfawkesphoenixchokingonashes @between-a-ship-and-a-hard-place @skarabrae-stone @somanywords

Hehe I saw your ask, so I wanted to give it a go :D
1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 17, 19, & 20
I would've added more, but I didn't want to stress you out over answer more questions. 😭
:,,)) it is so kind of you to ask i am soo honored!!
1. do you know how you want the story to end when you start, or are you just stumbling through the figurative wilderness hoping to find a road?
more often than not it's just as much a journey for me as it is the reader! though i do sometimes think of later scenes, and i will immediately pause wherever i am and write out as much as i feel necessary to flesh out; then thread them back in later.
3. on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?
(◍•ᴗ•◍) honestly it's an even 50-50 split if I feel like writing an angsty smut or sweet romantic smut. i love either way. (since my average story these days are all smutty fics hehe!)
4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?
OH Man OkAY. it's what i would like to eventually be the final piece in the 10 Commandments x JJK series, with the First Commandment (Thou Shalt Not Have Any Other Gods Before Me) and it be Sukuna and a Reader with a god complex. this would be extremely different from my normal, more-submissive Reader roles, but i have actually thought of it and had flashes of it for two years. it's kind of a chicken-and-egg situation with why I haven't done it yet; i still have one more Commandment to go before that one, which i don't really have motivation/ a strong narrative inspiration for, and then, once i do that, i'll have to write the Sukuna one...
7. tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote
honestly... it would probably be in junior high, "rewriting" Sweeney Todd but with the main character "Sweetey" who was his niece and basically just the same but she was looking for her little brother.. afsdjgdfhgjksf 💀
8. what’s your relationship with constructive criticism and feedback like? do you seek it out? how well do you take it?
hmm. i don't mind it as a whole, but i think with fic writing / ao3, there's a weird line that can be toed between constructive criticism and outright re-writing. i remember on my original account when Unholy Land was first posted, there were a lot of comments about what "should have happened" with various ideas of that. some of those endings / continuances were good suggestions, sure, but.. it's my fic to write? it kind of made me uncomfortable. not sure what to do with that.
11. what’s something neat you’ve learned while doing research for something you were writing? also, how much do you worry about doing research in general?
this is a SUPER interesting question to me; i personally really value research / work being put into fics to make them realistic in the sense of immersion. (fics can be FICTION, of course, but if there's something that's insanely unrealistic that stands out, it gnaws at me as both a reader and writer.) so - if i am writing about something i don't know with confident familiarity, or, i even want to brush up on an accurate detail, i'll do so.
but this is a fun blessing and a terrible curse. i've had a floating wip idea for a victorian-au story that i actually have all skeleton-ed out, but, i am currently tethered by my research demands. currently learning about business incorporation laws and customs of victorian london; which i am sure that the accuracies of NO ONE would care about in a story about the jaeger brothers and a husband and an affair. !! it is what it is.
17. what is your favorite line you’ve ever written?
ohhh ohh I'm not sure. hmmm!! i know i used to have an answer. ! i think across the board my prose / imagery in Matcha is perhaps my favorite fic writing-wise as a whole; but a favorite line might come from an early chapter in Chainsmoking His Love.
19. what are some books or authors that influenced your style the most?
i'm so sure that lemony snicket / daniel handler's style is a huge influence; i loved the series of unfortunate events books in a ravenous way as a child.
& i just answered 20! :)
#these were SOOO FUN to think about!! and very helpful in spurring inspiration!!!!#i might feel ready to sit and write again soon awwwweee!!#thank you gigiiiii<333#order up for:#luckimoon#darya plays

ANON THIS WAS SO FUN. Oh my gosh thank you so much for requesting this 😭
bites like bittersweet | reader x minho |
Pairing: self insert, gender neutral reader x lee minho
Genre: that good good smut
Tags: aphrodisiac au, switch!minho, switch!reader, mentions of food, oral (m recieving), unprotected sex (stay safe!), degredation, pet names, dirty talk, accidental exhibitionism
Word count: 2.4k
“are you kidding me? I can’t believe that you actually spent money on this!! aren’t you just a tiny bit embarrassed?”
“what? I thought that it would be fun to try!”
“if this is your way of seducing me, I hate to tell you, but it isn’t going to work.”
minho threw the chocolate bars back down on the coffee table. he was right; they looked fake and you knew it. the giant logo on the front stared up at you and your skeptical friend. it was an obscenely large kiss mark with different icons of couples fucking for each flavor. you really should have had better judgement. right in front of you was $36 dollars that you would never be getting back.
“and you had to get all the flavors?”
your defeated arms rang themselves above your head. “what?? I wasn’t going to pass up mint, salted caramel and...what’s this called...yeah, cherri amore!”
“and why is it again that you’re asking me to try these--” minho snatched up the flavor Salted Caramelicious in Milk Chocolate to read the label. “--proven aphrodisiac and libido boosters?”
“I dunno!! you were the only one around I guess...?”
minho flicked up one of his eyebrows in his suspicion. “really? that’s why? I don’t believe you. you’re trying to get in my pants aren’t you?!”
“no! Why the hell would I want to get in your pants?”
“hmmm...dare I bring up the locker room incident from a couple summers ago?” sly as ever, minho punched your arm lightly. “i bet that you’ve been dreaming about it ever since then.”
“-have not!! you’re ridiculous.” you gifted him a punch back, but this one wasn’t nearly as joking.
minho rubbed at his arm with a dramatic little “ow” on his lips.
“I’m bored, you don’t have anything else to do, it’s probably a scam and I don’t feel like wasting my $36.”
for a moment, minho pondered in silence as you dished him out your best puppy-dog eyes. in all your years of friendship, there was nothing that did him in better than the way you could make your eyes glisten. “that should be illegal” he would gripe.
“Pleeeese?? ~I know that you like mint chocolate~” you waved the bar gratuitously in front of his nose.
“fine.” he clawed it from your grasp. “i’m sure that it’s gonna be shitty chocolate anyway.” minho’s fingers hastily tore at the little foil edges and wrappings then cracked it in his hand.
you teased him, “should I get us some wine to go with this chocolate?”
minho scoffed and popped a couple chunks in his mouth. “fuck, this is so waxy. I hate you for this.”
~💋~
to your right, your wall clock ticked on as late as it was into the night. you hadn’t expected yourself to get so sleepy, but you and minho had made up the couch into your usual mess of pillows and blankets that would often accompany movie nights. after a while, the two of you had decided to just let netflix autoplay each episode, not really caring that you weren’t quite watching anymore.
“--you feeling anything?” you asked minho for the hundredth time.
“...no; its same answer from the last fifty times that you asked me. like I said, it’s a scam. you were swindled. just admit it.”
“...I don’t think I’m feeling anything either.”
“we ate the shitty chocolate, and that was that.” minho huffed. “god, you owe me big time.”
“isn’t it supposed to take a second to kick in...? isn’t that how these things work?”
“hell if I know.”
your friend sighed out the same unimpressed sigh he had been repeating for the last 45 minutes or so. he sat up a little straighter upon his realization.
“wait...so you’re saying that you want me to get turned on???”
“ah-no!!! don’t misunderstand!! it’s not that I want you to get turned on, i just want to know if it’s a scam or not. you know...for science?”
“for science? since when was science a part of all this?”
“i-it always was!”
“let’s just...finish watching this episode or two and then you’re leaving, got it?
you nodded, “got it!”
around your shoulder, minho snaked his arm to rest it gently, leaning you into him just a little. this place had always been your favorite spot. nuzzled into him like this, you could nearly hear his heartbeat in his chest. with the tv droning and the muffled “boom-boom” of his heart, you were drawn to sleep with ease, however, as you drifted, there was something different about the pace in which his heart would usually beat close to you.
~💋~
at first, you were woken by the sound of explosions. in the time that minho had promised, “this episode or two,” netflix had already made it’s way to playing a movie. strangely enough, minho hadn’t bothered changing it; it was his least favorite kind: the kind with car chases and missiles and the end of the world.
secondly, you were awoken by his voice, urgent and shallow.
“hey. hey. get up. y/n, get your heavy-ass head off me.”
“wha-what is it? what time is it? what is this?” you rubbed your blurry vision away with your palms.
“I...” minho choked down a thick gulp. “I-I think that I’m feeling...something...”
“what?!” your head snapped to look him in his terrified widened eyes. normally he would make fun of the rat’s nest on your head, but this time, his eyes remained unmoving.
mortified, minho uttered out again, “I feel...something...”
“something what? spit it out!!”
“don’t you dare look but...oh god...” your friend choked in an inhale.
he didn’t need to finish his sentence before your eyes had drifted down to where the spiderman themed blanket covered his lap. sure enough, he tented the fabric in the most obvious way.
“shit-this is so embarrassing.” minho steadied his breaths then winced “it kinda...hurts.”
this time, your eyes widened. “hurts?”
“yeah it does, okay???? don’t fucking rub it in.”
you found yourself getting defensive, “well what the hell do we do now???”
“I don’t know!!!” minho yelled into the dark room incredulously.
“can’t you just...I don’t know...jerk it away??? ”
“right here???”
“NO like in the bathroom or something I mean!!!”
“greaaat, you broke my dick!! and you’re being of no help at all!”
“well what would you have be do then huh? suck it off for ya right here and now?? would that be sooooo helpful to you??”
in your frustration, you tore spiderman off of his lap, then there it was: in its full glory.
yes, the locker room incident had lingered on your mind from time to time but.. you certainly didn’t remember it looking like that.
in your whole life, you never would have guessed that the thought, “thank-you-god for-blessing-us-with-the-invention of-grey-sweatpants” would grace your stream of consciousness but...here you were.
“m-minho...I-I think that it’s effecting me too.” your eyes ogled his member: lusciously thick and long, practically fighting the pants that kept it in. it bulged in his pants gorgeously and he had even wet himself a little from his leaking pre-cum.
“Huh!?”
“wow.” you marveled.
you really don’t know why you had done it, but suddenly the entire room felt much hotter, and taking off your shirt made much more sense so, you did.
“what the hell are you doing?!” minho attempted to pull up a blanket to cover your chest.
“does it really hurt?” something must have possessed you: your voice had dropped several octaves and you felt yourself breathing out the words with air.
as soon as he had heard your voice change, it was like he was enchanted. “A-a little. ‘feels really...trapped.” minho ate up the way that your eyes raked over his hard-on.
“oooh does it?” you used your index and ring finger to walk your hand over to his thigh where you then grabbed at him in starving handfuls. his muscles felt so beautiful in your hands.
minho whimpered out the whiniest, most desperate little sound that he could manage as his closed eyelids fluttered. there was no way in this world that you could ever imagine him making such a noise, especially from your touch.
yeah, you might have dreamt about it a couple times or more.
your hand tranced the outline of his dick on his pants.
“oh-shit--” minho keened under your touch, jerking his body viciously.
“god, you’re fucking gorgeous when you’re hard.” the words left your lips unapologetically and by seeing the way that minho practically melted from the compliment, you felt your whole body swell with that same aching pain.
“--tou-touch--”
your hand gave minho’s cock one good hard squeeze and he grunted out so loudly that you were fearful it could have been heard from the next apartment over. shaky breaths trembled from his lips and he rutted into your hand.
“‘hurts so, so bad.”
you almost missed it, but single tears fell from both of his eyes.
“what do you want me to do about it?”
exasperated, minho threw his head into the crook of your neck, panting, “an-anything. but--I-want your mouth. please...”
“of course.” you cooed, then snuck your hand under the elastic of his pants, getting another squeeze in. his eyes had glared at your lips long enough, so you decided to grant them their wish. you practically threw your whole weight into him, knocking both of your balances away as you rushed your lips into his. both of your mouths were hot and insatiable: your sloppy kisses were an utter mess: and you had never used so much tongue before in your life. wet kissing sounds filled the space between you both and tangled up with your shameless moans.
in your own pants, the situation wasn’t much different, but your desire to utterly destroy your needy friend was overwhelming and you could ignore it for a couple seconds more.
minho rose his hips for you pull his briefs and pants off, then sat back down to display his cock, red, veiny and dripping. your mouth salivated just thinking about how amazing it would feel in your mouth.
your friend didn’t give you much time to think before he had pulled your head nearer to him, then tapped his tip on your lips.
“shouldn’t I tease you first? whatever happened to foreplay?” you licked his length up and down.
“just--I don't care about that, I’m ready now,--fucking--please, please, I’m begging you to take me in your mouth.
“~ahhhh~ you’re so cute when you beg.”
minho’s full length was nearly too much for you to handle, but regardless, you swallowed him down using every ounce of your skill. the way that he moaned for you sounded so pathetic and needy, but he only pushed your head down farther.
“my little cockslut” minho gasped, “taking me in so good with that pretty mouth of yours...you’re so amazing, it’s so...mmph...just like...I always dreamed it would be...”
he threw his head back to guffaw at himself. “I can’t believe that this is happening.”
“quit talking and let me hear more of those pretty moans of yours.” you demanded of him, switching to jerk him up and down with your hand. your own saliva coated each and every one of your fingers.
“gonna...make me cum!” minho’s fingers dug into the edge of the sofa. “can-can I?”
“no.” you answered with a devilish smile. “you’re not gonna let me have any fun?”
“sorry, sorry...what do you want from me now?”
you continued jerking him once you had crept your lips up his body, kissing up his chest and stomach. your thumb played with his slit, eliciting even more pre-cum to come dripping out of his adorable tip. you reached his mouth where you let him get a taste.
just as before, the sofa started feeling too stuffy and warm for you, so your frazzled brain searched the room for the next best place, and there really was only one other.
“come with me,” you circled minho in your arms, pulling you both down to carpeted floor, taking a couple blankets with you as they tied in your limbs. “fuck me into the ground minho.”
a fire lit behind minho’s soft brown eyes that you had never seen, and soon he had ridded you of all of your own clothes.
“oh kitten, there's nothing that I would love to do to you more.”
for mere moments, yours and minho’s bodies lingered, pressed flush against each other as both of your hips grinded together seeking some kind of relief and your mouths searched for hungry answers.
“be a good boy for me minho,” you whispered into him, “fuck me so hard I’m dizzy, hmm?”
“if you insist...” minho buried his head into your neck to bite into the skin, no doubt leaving marks for you later.
everything reached a certain symphonic climax once he guided himself into your entrance which was nearly twitching to be filled by him. his length and girth stretched you out perfectly, and soon you knew it wouldn’t take too much for him to show you all the stars in the galaxy behind your eyelids.
he thrust into you with feral sounding grunts, and your back burned a little against the carpet under you.
“don’t-don’t stop...mmm--”
body ablaze, the beginnings of your orgasm start to build in your core, begging for more and more. deep inside you, minho grazed your euphoric spot and you moaned out his name with reckless abandon.
“say it louder for me baby.” your friend would greedily command, adoring the way that his name would bounce off the walls.
“I’m close, god, minho--”
ding-ding-ding!
had you not been cumming with a searing white heat with minho jerking himself wildly over your stomach, you would have seen chan open the door, pretending to sneak his way in.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?” chan threw his arms over his eyes. “...AND IN THE OPEN LIVING ROOM???”
“ch-chan?” minho threw the blankets over both of your gasping bodies, still recovering from your orgasms of seconds ago.
“ I...oh my god.” chan shielded his eyes the whole walk to his room.
“I’m sorry!!” Minho called after him, eyes then falling to his white painting on your stomach. “hmm. that looks kinda nice.”
~💋~
later, when you would be cleaning up, chan would discover your litter of half eaten bars of chocolate, then would turn them over to laugh in your face:
“uhhhh guys...you know that those are a placebo right?”

oh my god literally every single prompt on that list is gold and i'd love to see your obikin take for all of them. hmmm... if i had to choose i guess first 13. co-stars au?? thank you lots of love !!!
ah bless!! thank you so much!! i'm slowly working my way through most of the prompts on that list so you might see many many more before I'm done with my ask box. I think after two more, I'll put em on ao3 to keep em more organized too. this has been soooo fun!!
13. Co-Stars AU(/7. Fake Relationship AU)(2.5 k)
“No.”
“Ani, darling, you can’t say no.”
“Don’t call me that. And secondly, I can. I just did. This is my personal life, the company has no control over that.”
“While you’re filming its movie and it’s giving you money, you’ll actually find that it does, Anakin.”
Anakin sits down heavily on the bench outside his trailer, leaning forward until he can put his head in his hands. He wants to run his fingers through the mess on his head, but they’re in between takes right now and the make-up department will definitely kill him if they have to fix him up again.
“Asajj, please. You know how hard it was to get to come out as bisexual. If the first person I date after that is a woman, no one will remember! It’ll just be completely erased, and I’ll be Anakin Skywalker, Playboy Actor again.”
“But you do like women,” Asajj points out. “So either way, you’d be confirming your sexuality.”
Anakin sighs and leans his head back against the metal of the trailer. “And it would be different if I was actually in love with Padme, but she’s just my co-star and--”
“Anakin, she’s your co-star. You’re in a blockbuster movie where you dramatically save her life and then kiss her as the credits roll. This is just business. You like her. You’re friends. Think of it less like dating, and more like going to grab lunch together. And coffee. Maybe a fancy dinner. Several times a week.”
“For how long?” Anakin asks, resigned and despairing and hating the fact that he ever got into acting.
Asajj sounds relieved. “Just until the movie’s out and sales are doing well.”
That could be months. That would be months. “And I have to?” he asks.
“Yes,” she says. “I’m sorry.”
Anakin doesn’t say it’s fine. It doesn’t feel like it is fine.
“They’re not looking for anything to be confirmed. If asked about your relationship with Padme, tell them you think she’s a great woman and you’re enjoying spending time with her. No comment on any sort of serious relationship.”
“Because a break-up afterwards might hurt the chances for a sequel?” Anakin asks drily.
“Exactly! We’ll get you a head for the business yet, Anakin. Okay, I have to go, but I’ll send you the information now, just so you know what you’ll be expected to do. We’re thinking a dinner tomorrow to start things off strong, and then slow afterwards!”
She hangs up before he can say anything else and he slumps back boneless against the metal trailer. God.
It’s not that he doesn’t like Padme. Ventress is right. They were friends before this project and Anakin knows they’ll be friends after as well. They genuinely get along, and it’s probably one of the reasons Anakin was cast in such a big name production: the chemistry between them when they’re acting is undeniable. She’s one of his favorite people in the entire industry.
“Anakin?” One of his other favorite people in the entire industry asks hesitantly from in front of him. “Are you alright?”
“No,” he says.
“May I sit?”
“Yeah,” he says.
Like he’d ever turn Obi-Wan Kenobi away.
“Are you wearing your costume?” he asks, without opening his eyes. Obi-Wan’s playing the villain of the movie, and Anakin has a hard time focusing on anything else when Obi-Wan’s around him wearing that skin-tight white turtleneck and cape combination, with his hair slicked back and fake glasses perched on his nose.
Obi-Wan sounds amused. “No, I’m finished for the day. Heading home now. You don’t have to see how silly I look today.”
Anakin smiles slightly, despite everything. In one of his better acting moments, he’d told Obi-Wan that his costume was distracting because it looked so funny on him. Really, it was just hot.
(Of course, Obi-Wan had taken his criticism seriously and gone to the director and the costume department. They had decided that it would make Obi-Wan’s character more threatening if he pushed up his sleeves in almost every scene to reveal heavily tattooed forearms. Anakin had hated himself and his big stupid mouth for days afterwards.)
“Is...there anything I can do to help, Anakin? I hate to see you like this,” Obi-Wan places a hand gently on Anakin’s knee, and Anakin has to fight a shiver at the touch.
They’d met at the script-reading for the movie, a handful of months ago. Anakin had set two clocks in his head the moment their hands grasped each other and Obi-Wan smiled charmingly up at him. “So you’re the one to kill me?” He’d winked. “Tall order.”
One clock signified the weeks it would take for him to fall in love with the older man. The starting number was pitifully small, but Anakin had been watching Obi-Wan’s movies and interviews for years before meeting him. He’d known something about the man, which of course had paled in comparison to knowing the man himself. They’d spent two weeks choreographing the steps of the final fight scene, just the two of them in a repurposed ballet studio.
Looking back, Anakin isn’t sure how he’d survived. And he had never wanted it to end.
Which is the other clock, still ticking down in his head. The moment filming ends, and they go their separate ways. They’ll probably keep in touch, but Anakin won’t see him constantly, won’t be able to lean into the weight of Obi-Wan’s hand on his shoulder, his knee, sometimes even on his cheek when he leans down in between takes to tell him how good of a job he’s done.
“Anakin?”
“Sorry,” Anakin snaps to the present. “Sorry. I was in my head. I. I don’t think so, no.”
“Oh,” Obi-Wan says, tensing his hand as if he’s planning to remove it, which Anakin wouldn’t appreciate in the slightest.
“My agent says that the executives want me to date Padme. To drum up hype for the movie. Because I guess people will think it must be good if the co-stars start fucking each other?” He runs a hand across his face. “Um. Sorry, excuse my language.”
“Anakin, I’m forty-one, I think I’ve heard someone say fuck before,” Obi-Wan sounds amused again.
“Yeah, I just. Don’t want to? I guess maybe--I mean you probably didn’t see, but I came out as bisexual a year ago, and I haven’t dated anyone since, and I just know the way the rags will write about me and Padme if we’re seen together. And it’ll be like I just. Never came out.”
Obi-Wan makes a sympathetic noise but doesn’t interrupt. It’s one of the reasons Anakin loves talking to him.
“And my agent just sent me this contract, or I don’t know, list of things I have to do because there’s no way for me to get out of this and it just makes me feel trapped. But they don’t even want me to confirm if we're dating or not dating, they just want to create rumors about it, but it’s my life. I want to do what I want to do with my life, date who I want to date.”
“Do you...have anyone you want to date?” Obi-Wan asks, hand stilling from where he’s been casually rubbing circles on Anakin’s knee.
“No,” Anakin says too quickly and then grimaces. Does he really get paid for acting? He’s always so terrible at lying.
Obi-Wan hums. “I could...take a look at whatever papers your agent sent you?” He suggests. “I’m obviously not really an expert, but I have been in the business a fair bit longer than you.”
“You’re not that old,” Anakin responds by rote, but hesitates, curious despite himself. “You wouldn’t mind?”
“I’ve nothing planned tonight except to have a glass of wine and pet my cat, Anakin. It would be a pleasure to help you any way I could.”
“Okay,” Anakin says, reaching out to lay his hand gently on top of Obi-Wan’s. He’s never done that before, never responded so openly to Obi-Wan’s touches. It’s an amazing thrill.
Obi-Wan flips his hand around until they’re holding hands, basically. In the middle of a public area. God, Anakin’s letting his crush get the best of him when Obi-Wan isn’t even gay. “Thank you,” he says, standing up and pulling away from the older man. It’s the right thing to do. The last thing he wants is for Obi-Wan to think he’s...predatory.
A harried looking crew member spots him as he stands and gestures to him to get back to the set. He smiles ruefully at Obi-Wan who gives him an unreadable expression but also a soft goodbye.
Later, in between takes, he forwards Obi-Wan the emails Asajj sent him, both the papers and the message at the top that says “dress nice for tomorrow at Delfino’s!” followed by a little smiley face he can’t believe she’d ever mean.
He knows nothing’s going to come of it, but. But he has to try.
----
Padme’s dressed to the nines in front of him. He’d compliment her outfit, but he’s already complimented her hair and her make-up, and he thinks she’ll scream if he continues to act as stilted as he’s being now.
“I’m sorry,” he murmurs quietly after the waiter leaves with their drink orders. “I know I’m being--awkward. I just.”
They’re seated in the middle of the restaurant, and Anakin knows there’s two paps already outside, taking pictures through the windows. The rest will have arrived by the time they pay the bill and leave. It’s a circus and he’s the main event.
“I understand,” Padme responds, the angel that she is. “I don’t particularly want to be doing this either.”
Anakin presses his hand to his chest, jokingly wounded. “What are you trying to say, Padme, my beloved, my dearest?”
She laughs and he does too, but in the back of his head he can hear the sound of a camera’s shutter clicking. Everything feels fake, and he feels like he’s about to crawl out of his skin.
A hand lands on his shoulder with startling familiarity and for a second he thinks it’s a very brave member of the wait-staff, before Obi-Wan Kenobi is swinging into his field of vision, pulling up a chair from god knows where and sitting right in between Anakin and Padme, never once removing his hand from Anakin’s jacket.
“Sir--” someone says in distress, “This is a two-person table.”
Obi-Wan raises an eyebrow and looks down at the table. “Well it certainly can fit three, so I would go as far as to say that tonight it can be a three-person table. Anakin, what did you order to drink?”
“The house white,” Padme supplies when Anakin makes no move to respond, instead choosing to gape at Obi-Wan like a fish out of water.
“Excellent choice, darling,” Obi-Wan says, rubbing at his upper arm absent-mindedly. “I’ve never been here, tell me. Do you serve a good seafood dish?”
The waiter stammers. “We have an acclaimed oyster platter, sir--”
“Oysters?” Obi-Wan smiles at the man, all teeth. “The aphrodisiac? What are you trying to get these kids in the mood for?”
Anakin blushes. “Obi-Wan!” He hisses, aghast. Obi-Wan’s eyes cut to him for a second before he smirks back at the waiter.
“I’ll take the oysters for the main course,” he says dismissively.
Somehow it’s that sentence that tips Anakin off, more than anything else he’s done tonight. Obi-Wan spends hours talking to the people that run the crafts table. He would never be so cold or rude naturally. He’s...playing a character, one that Anakin recognizes as being the villain from their movie (although without all the blood and murder).
Anakin only recedes into personas when he’s nervous about something. Can the same be said for Obi-Wan?
Padme, at least, looks amused. “Hello, Obi-Wan,” she says. “I see you’ve decided to crash our very romantic date.”
“Well that’s interesting, isn’t it?” Obi-Wan replies, turning to face her but keeping his hand on Anakin, although it slides down to rest on the crook of his arm. “I had Anakin send me the paperwork, mild curiosity, you know how it is, and I realized the strangest thing while I was reading over it.”
“Oh?” Padme asks.
“It never states which co-star Anakin should be seen with, just that he must be seen with a leading actor. And I don’t want to focus on the numbers here, of course, but in the rough-cut of the movie, I have thirty-four minutes of screentime. And you, my dear, have thirty-two and fifteen seconds.”
“Tragic,” Padme says, taking a sip of her water. "You may be considered more of a leading actor than I am."
“Certainly,” Obi-Wan gives her a friendly smile. Anakin is still stuck on the fact that Obi-Wan is here, that he read the paperwork, that he’s arguing semantics for the purpose of--of--
“And I suppose you’re here to offer yourself as a replacement?” Padme asks, leaning her head on her hand as she watches the two of them.
“Only if Anakin wouldn’t mind,” Obi-Wan says, turning to face him.
Anakin isn’t sure what he’s thinking right now. “But you’re not interested in men.”
“I am,” Obi-Wan says.
“But...you’re not interested in me.”
“I am,” Obi-Wan says.
“You are?”
“Excuse me,” Padme says. “I’m going to go to the restroom.”
“We’ll wait to order until you come back,” Obi-Wan reassures her, without taking his eyes off of Anakin.
Anakin bites his lip and hesitantly brings his hand up to sit palm up on the table. Obi-Wan doesn’t hesitate to intertwine their fingers again, like they had been just yesterday.
“I’m a very private person, Anakin,” Obi-Wan says quietly, all traces of any sort of persona dropped from his voice. “I’ve never come out, never wanted to. But I was so proud that you had when you did. And I--well. I suppose. You already get to fake-kiss Padme on screen, I thought that perhaps you’d like to try to fake-kiss someone else for a change.”
Anakin ducks his head and gathers his courage. He can’t not ask. A fake relationship with Padme would be awful, but one with Obi-Wan? That would be torture. Cruel and unusual punishment. He’s still reeling from the information that apparently Obi-Wan does like men and apparently he likes Anakin enough to come out for him.
But does he like Anakin enough to touch him and mean it? He has to know. He looks up at Obi-Wan’s earnest face from beneath his eyelashes. “What if I want to real-kiss you?”
Obi-Wan blinks, and a smile breaks out across his face. “Then you don’t even need to have to ask, darling. Kiss me all you want, if you’re okay with a clingy old man in your bed.”
“Not that old,” Anakin argues, smiling so hard he’s afraid his face will crack in two. “But I don’t want to kiss you tonight.”
Obi-Wan turns solemn, although his grip on Anakin remains tight. “We can go as slow as you’re comfortable with.”
“Oh, you can have me later,” Anakin says, waving his free hand in the air. “I just don’t want our first kiss to be for the cameras.”
Obi-Wan catches Anakin’s palm and brings it up to kiss lightly. “You’re right, Anakin. That should just be for you and me.”
The rough brush of his lips over his skin causes Anakin to shiver. He’s never felt so on edge, as if his body is a live-wire. “Good thing you ordered the oysters,” he mumbles, blushing bright red as Obi-Wan laughs loud enough to fill the whole restaurant with its sound.

Content Tag Game
thank you @inkofyoongi for the tag and also bless you for the Poetica teaser I'm crying already!!! Yoongi and y/n kissing oh my heart.
1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)? Harry Potter and Attack on Titan
2. what fandoms are you currently writing for? BTS
3. how long have you been writing? Writing online, I wrote HP ff when I was a preteen. Oh god it was horrible, it was a lot of silly meme worthy stuff, but that was half the fun in the HP fandom back in the day, then years later I tried to write one AOT ff and it did not do well lol, I think I maybe got two comments one of them being really mean lol and I gave up and left my story unfinished and moved on from ff (funnily enough I based a scene in one of my HOAL chapters off of it and no complaints so ha!...lol.) Then a friend bought me a dream journal, and I fell back in love with writing again after HOAL 🥰
4. on which platforms do you post your stories? I have a Wattpad and I just created an Ao3 to crosspost.
5. what is your favourite genre to write? Angst, I guess I am just a masochist.
6. are you a pantser or a planner? Well I am definitely not a planner, so I guess I'm a pantser lol. I rather just write the story instead of planning. I vaguely know the endings, the problem is most of my stories start out as dreams, and what usually happens in dreams??? That's right, you wake up BEFORE the ending. So then I have the arduous task of figuring out what else is supposed to happen lol, I feel like if I just write it out it will somehow magically come together in the end, planning is unnecessary stress I don't need lol.
7. one shot or multi-chapter? You know I really admire one shot writers, but I am just not built like that...
8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion? I would say as a writer and what I also prefer reading, between 6k and 10k is the sweet spot.
9. what is your longest published story? is it complete? Handshakes of a Lifetime is almost at 55k words 👀 and I would say it's half way done?
10. which story did you enjoy working on the most? I really love writing HOAL, some of the chapters were very therapeutic to write 🥲. During the beginning chapters I was going through a lot of chronic pain and there were long stretches where I was so engrossed I forgot about the pain which if you've ever suffered from chronic illness, is like finding a raft in the middle of the ocean. But also Run Run Run made me hysterically laugh for hours (the visuals in my head are something else man), I already know I am going to have so much fun finishing that story.
11. favourite request you’ve written and why? I don’t take requests, however there have been times when I requested myself to write lol. Instead of word vomiting all over my blog and oversharing to you guys who probably do not want to listen to my ugly problems, I said, hey, why not just take all that pain and channel it into a story instead? Because that's why people follow me after all and I'm a woman of the people lol, and that's how Blue and Grey was written. It's short and simple, and it's one of my favorite stories I've ever written.
12. are there reocurring themes in your stories? Hmmm pain lol, whether it be pleasurable pain or not lol. Again, my stories start out as dreams, so they are pretty random. I do notice there's a lot of “escaping”, that might just be a dream thing idk.
13. current number of wips? HOAL, C!HOC, RRR, BV:ITS, a cross over fandom story I am so excited for and will write before the year is up (I just somehow need to become a smarter writer before then), a cute theme story I want to release on Halloween, 6 angsty one shots for each member (Namjoon's is already written), and an unnamed invasion AU story that I hope will see the light of day, but I have so many questions as to what is going on and have to figure out those answers before I post it (also I don't know know if I should add another ongoing fic and do that to myself lol)
14. three things you have noticed about your own writing? I love cliff hangers, they are just so much fun, I truly can't help myself. I also can't help putting a hopeful spin on my writing, even when I think I shouldn't, the story would be more meaningful if I didn't, but I am a hopeless romantic so sue me. And even if my stories are very fantasy driven, I try to be as realistic as possible, especially during smut scenes, I need realism, I don't like writing unrealistic sex, so sorry if it’s not that fantastical sometimes, I try to make it up in story pacing 🥲🥲.
15. a quote you like from a published story. Chapter 4 of HOAL is full of sentences I am proud of lol. "...a storm so final in its answer, it must be controlled by the Grim Reaper himself." and "...rain droplets clash against the ocean, open like umbrellas, and the sea throws back tiny gems of water." I really tried to portray that calm before the storm feeling throughout the chapter.
16. a quote from an unpublished story. Here is a part of the unnamed story, "Namjoon never came back. You take out your phone, pull up Namjoon’s number. You don’t have a pen or pencil, and you’ve never been good at memorization. But this time you have to, you must remember the ten numbers as if your life depended on it, because you’re starting to feel like it might."
17. a space for you to say something to your readers. My dreams had been haunting me for awhile until I finally said, "okay, let me just try, I'll just try to and see if this whole writing thing will work for me." Sometimes you have thoughts that you just need to scream out into the world before they consume you and the fact that people are hearing me, and being moved in even the littlest of ways by my stories lifts the pressure off my shoulders just a bit every day. A lot of my stories are anonymous love letters to people in my life, memories I want to preserve and transform into stories people can enjoy, happy and painful, for better or for worse. So to my readers, thank you for enjoying my stories, for hearing me. ❤️
I tag: @cloudteawrites @bangtangalicious @smasmashin @alpacaparkaseok @deepdarkdelights @btsaudge @koosbabygrl and any other writer who wants to share! ����
#your question 14 I am taking as confirmation of Yoongi being utterly in love with Poetica y/n 😭😭😭😭😭#ask game#tag game

hi 😄 i saw your reblog and i want to ask the same thing: what was your first impression of your moots?
First i want to say that I may of gotten a littleeeee carried away. I wanted to include as many people as possible, but some I don’t have enough to say. Despite this I might add more. I’ve met so many various people on this app and I’ve loved interacting with them all or just seeing them around. So much so that I can’t list everybody. I really love all my moots and there are so many of them that I’ll forever be grateful for. (yes i added a keep reading because this was so long and please excuse my gramtical errors)
@hoes4hoseok - our first impression was playing among us WHICH WAS SO FUN. I don’t remember much about talking to her in the game BUT I do remember that she was the first one to ever make the group chat filled with those who played with us. honestly I’m so grateful that she did that because I wouldn’t have been able to become friends with her and many others. I remember thinking that she was beyond kind and that she was good with trying to include everyone. After that I just remember hearing her voice and then DYING because she has a wonderful voice. I felt as though I related to you just a bit. Now I’ve gotten to see different aspects of her and really value her as a person and friend. She keeps things real and is so helpful. Sometimes I wish I could see what goes on inside her head because sometimes I think she reserves herself or overthinks and I’d like to give her a big hug.
@binniebutter - amie... oh amie 🙄 just kidding 😂 amie well... I also met her while playing among us in that same group. we played a lot with each other and I find that nice BECAUSE I CANT REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT DURING THE FIRST TIME WE PLAYED. I think I do remember laughing about her and gen tho. In our first gc I remember thinking that she had a bright personality and could keep the conversation going. I also find out we live about an hour away so I was able to connect with her about that (I also was so excited just because IVE NEVER MET AN ONLINE FRIEND IN THE SAME STATE) After that we played among us a lot together and I just remember thinking amie was EVIL. She was funny though and I felt comfortable around her. Now... I honestly think I’m pretty close to amie emotionally. It’s very rare that I put down my guard and talk to someone about certain things (I don’t really think I’ve talked to her about certain things tho) I still feel as though I can talk to her or that I can cry or rant to her without feeling judged. I don’t know how much she’s come to me about, but anytime I try to comfort her i feel like I get to know her better. I usually don’t start joking with my friends and being “rude” to them unless I know that they know I love them, which is why I’m starting to show amie sarcasm at times ☺️ I may of written too much 😅
@hyukaite I ACTUALLY REMEMBER MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF KAT. oml we’d send asks every now and then and I remember thinking she was a crack head. From the videos I’d see her post to that one drawing. Man if only I could go all the way back to it, but it was monthssss ago. I also remember relating to her about having to help our sisters with math 💀. I wanted to be her friend after seeing her interact with some of my other moots, but I was too shy to actually message her so I stuck with sending in asks every now and then 😂 then we started playing among us together. I remember thinking “NOOOO SHE STOLE YELLOW” which led to me falling in love with the dark green among us color JFKAJFLW. After that I remember getting betrayed by her in the game SO MANY TIMES. she killed me during the Simon says task... to tell you what grudge I hold... I still remember it. ITS SUCH A HARD TASK AND SHE DIDNT LET ME FINISH IT. She also killed me in electrical when I thought she was INNOCENT. Now... kat I don’t even know how to describe her. She has many aspects to her that I love. She also is able to help me think straight whenever I let my anger get to me.
@yawnjunie - I thought she was shy at first because when I first met her she didn’t talk much, so I felt bad because I thought she didn’t feel all that welcomed by us (no specific reason we were just introduced to blu so abruptly 😂) After that I think I was intimidated by her at first JFJAKFJERI. We also compared our schools and our grade mindset which I think really opened my eyes a little bit more. I still believe she’s really smart Zknfaltn. She makes me laugh though and she also started the network moacabinet. She’s really sweet with so many ideas, but I feel bad because sometimes I think she gets stressed easily. She’s not on much, but everytime she’s online I’m blessed with her presence.
@kkuming - gigiiiii! my first impression of gigi was fairly simple. We met on the au group chat and she seemed really sweet. I wanted to try and give gigi a warm welcome and make sure she felt comfortable. I wish I remembered more about our first meeting. I DO HOWEVER remember thinking she was v v innocent. I sat back and watched gigi get thrown into the group and laughed my ass off at how she interacted with kat. I was worried that because the others were already so comfortable with her and joking around about things that she may actually think that the “divorce” or whatever it was that kat and her had would make her upset, so I wanted to remind her that I appreciated her Zofnakfjeof. She also was taking a lot of stressful classes so I could only hope this girl didn’t die underneath all that stress. Now I- she’s crazy guys. Just kidding 😂 she’s still really sweet and jokes around with all of us. I’m glad she’s online a lot more now. she’s also really funny.
@lipbeom - I’m like 99.9% sure rynn was the first person I ever really talked to on tumblr. I thought she was a really good writer and saw that she was a senior as well, so I was glad that I wasn’t the only one on tumblr that was going to suffer through the last year of school. I was so glad when she messaged me first like Y’ALL HAVE NO IDEA. When I first met her I remember thinking she was really sweet AND BEYOND SMART. I’m really grateful for rynn and I actually miss her a lot because I feel like I don’t interact with her as much as I should. She was very supportive and still is. It’s only been a few months since I first talked with her but I’m reminiscing 😂 She also got me hooked on selling sunset WHICH WAS AMAZING but I was talking like the girls on the show for WEEKSSSSSSS.
@bbhyeoliskooks - I don’t really remember how I came across her, but I realized she was a new moa writer and wanted to check her out. My first impression... hmmm I guess you could say that I believed she was very grateful even when she didn’t have to be. Sometimes she makes me feel old 💀 but she’s reminds me a little bit of my sister... just way sweeter. She’s very loyal and anytime you tell her you’ve posted something oml she’s wonderful. She’s the type of person who is really supportive and I appreciate that, but sometimes I feel like I don’t give her enough of ittttt. I really need to go stalk her blog now as for some reason I don’t see her notifs half the time. I’m really proud of her and think she’s one of the sweetest people on tumblr NOT TO MENTION SHE SINGS BEAUTIFULLY.
@txthearteu - oml cj 😂 she is also one of the first people I talked to on tumblr. I don’t really remember our first impression tho :/. I DO REMEMBER I READ ONE OF HER STORIES THO and i sent an ask about it because she deserved the recognition for it. Hmmm at first I believe I was intimidated because she is older than me 😂 however she was so extremely sweet and I loved talking to her. I tried talking about various different things with her because I wanted our conversation to continue hehe. She stays feeding me 😌 and even if I can’t physically eat del taco I get full off of the love and support cj gives me. My eyes light up when I see her in my notifs. I think she deserves the world and I always want to be there for her. I don’t think I can ever repay her for the love she’s given me.
@sung4oon - SAM I SWEAR IF YOU CHANGE UR URL BEFORE I HAVE A CHANCE TO POST THIS! I met her when her url was... 👁👄👁 lixxie sumtin. I think it was lixieebear. I truly don’t remember her first impression 💀 the only thing I remember was thinking that she was also a crack head. She was really funny and sweet and DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE WHOLE BRAINCELL THING. I should’ve given her my brain cells for christmas. I still think she’s really fun to talk to and I literally try to remind myself as much as possible that I need to go stop by and send an ask every now and then. Even so she still says hi to me ☺️
@beomiebear5 - R A I N A. hehehehehehe I actually love this first impression for me. At the time I saw her anon asks to rynn. I saw that she was going to start posting stuff on her blog soon and she gave a hint about how to find her. Ofc I let rynn do that herself BUT I went searching KFJSIFIWFKW I couldn’t help it I saw it as a challenge. My first impression was rlly just that she was sweet. Then after a while KFJAOFJWOF I really love interacting with her and seeing her rants. Gosh she’s so funny and ✨inspires✨ me. I’m always down to talk to her because she’s amazing and sweet.
@magicisland9-34 - lillie ☺️ I honestly don’t remember our first impression? I do however remember when she first sent an ask! I would always get so excited when I got an ask from her 😂 I loved talking to her and she let me ramble on and on. Whether that be about gymnastics or ballet. Once again even lillie is sweet, but she’s betrayed me for siding with amie about Christmas 😤. She’s also one of the people that I try to remind myself to go and visit their blog and see what they’ve posted.
@spookybias - if I remember correctly gen was the first one who reblogged my about me post, which ended up allowing others on this app to see that I was a new writing blog. She was also one of the first people I followed and one of the first who followed me, so I was really grateful and thought she was beyond helpful and nice. I also really believe she’s a great writer and i admired how she would tell things how they are. She’s always been sweet to me even if she’s threatened to shoot me a while back 😤. OH YEAH we also played among us together in that group as well and I always suspected her at one point. IT WAS BECAUSE THE ONE TIME I TRUSTED HER SHE KILLED ME.
@bffsoobin - My first impression of Sara was pretty simple like I found her blog and fell in love. she writes so well and I’ve loved everything I’ve read from her. I thought she was really pretty and pretty funny too. When she’d talk about some of her stories revolving school it honestly made my day as well. I admire her especially because she’s such a good writer and LET ME TELL YOU when she followed me back I think I did a little cheer. I was reading her fics before I even started writing on tumblr.
@soobcxre - I saw Sara around because we had a lot of moots in common and when I saw them interact I would just think about how I wanted to befriend her 😂. When she texted me I got so excited, but I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN SCHOOL TOO. She’s also really sweet ajfjwkfjw and I’m glad to have met her.
@lovesickchoi - MADDIE 🤩 I.... I don’t remember my first impression of her 🥲. It may of revolved around asks? I think I ended up trying to get to know her more at the time I was trying to get to know yoonie. I say this because I remember always seeming to get their urls mixed up... I think it’s because the h at the beginning. I LITERALLY DONT REMEMBER HOW WE STARTED INTERACTING. She’s also an amazing writer tho! Now I still think she’s sweet and we’ve talked about yeonbin together 😂.
@sunoo-luvs - 🥺 zaara JFJAJRKSKF literally my first impression was “cute.” That still stands btw. She’s absolutely the sweetest and is really considerate of others IM SCARED BECAUSE SHE MAY APOLOGIZE FOR THINGS THERES NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR. Even so she can easily add happiness to people’s day with just a hi and a hug.
@i2gyu - I- first impression: scary. IM KIDDING wait... actually even though that was a joke because she used to stop by and say “boo” I MAY OF ACTUALLY FELT INTIMIDATED BY HER AT FIRST. I think one of the first times we interacted was about a network and at the time I was ready to join a network SO I FELT SO BAD FOR SAYING NO. Afterwards tho I realized how nice she was and I always end up getting a little energetic once I see she’s sent in an ask. One day I’m scared I won’t see her change her url or blog, but that’s if she does again.
@fairycore-gyu - I haven’t interacted with anyone new recently and when I saw kira that obviously changed 😂. I related to her with music taste and stuff. LET ME TELL YOU when someone seems to have the same music taste I JUST my eyes light up. She was really welcoming and I instantly felt like I could message her anytime. I also just realized she’s a pisces 🥺.
@yoonjunie - I just remember thinking ooooo new moa writer! I think anyone who comes across her can say she’s very welcoming and sweet + she deserves everything she has. I really just wanted to support her 😂 I need to interact with her more and read more from her blog.
@hyeyoonwrites - yoonie 🥺 AHHHH okay 😂 first impression: LITERALLY THE SWEETEST. I know I’ve said that so many people here are sweet but yoonie is a different kind of sweet. I don’t know every single time I’ve interacted with her has felt like a soft hug. She’s supported me a lot and I really need to check up on her more frequently I feel guilty about it aifoshf.
@txtextme - gon I- even though we haven’t talked much she’s extremely funny and relatable. she just has this vibe that I love about her. I know I don’t have much to say, but I had to add her because she’s left an impact.
@yeonbins - VIVI HAS WONDERFUL GIFS. Every now and then I’ll see her post some stuff just talking and akfjskf. I mainly remember (I think) Starbucks getting her name wrong. Her names so pretty tho. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE HOW MUCH OLDER SHE WAS THAN ME. I also played among us with her for a lil... I was scared she was gonna murder me 😂.

Earth Angel (GabrielXOFC) Part 2.2
Second part of chapter 2 because it was too big for Tumblrs limit.
And just in case you are coming across this before the first part...as I say in all the chapters...This doesn't fully follow the Supernatural timeline, somethings have been changed (like Gabriel's death in the au world cause it was stupid and I refuse to accept it lol) so just a heads up. This is also inspired by @askpsychocas 's Angel Courting Ritual post (which I use in my story. Askpsychocas if you want me to take those parts out let me know and I will). This story also has a Scott Pilgram vibe lol.
The link to the first part can be found below.
If you would like to be added to the taglist for this story let me know
Gif by @beneathgabrielswings , I couldn't find it on the Gif search but you can find the gifset here
Part 1...Part 2.1...Masterlist

"A date?" I asked, quickly covering up my shock with a smirk of my own.
"Yeah, she only goes after couples right? So let's act like a couple" he explained. And for some reason his explanation slightly hurt.
'All for the case' my mind stated.
"Yeah...Yeah sure that might help end this faster" I nodded, quickly stepping out of the car before Gabriel could read my expression. My emotions needed to get in check, quick, this whole week they had been in an uproar because of him and I still wasn't sure why.
"Well you could have at least let me open the door for you" Gabriel joked, I forced a smile and shook my head.
"You gotta be quicker if you wanna do that"
We headed towards the ticket booth and into the slightly long line, there were already a bunch of couples here, all either holding hands or cuddling into each other. Again I felt a sting of sadness, must be nice to have someone like that-but was it really real? Or was at least one of them simply playing a part? I must have been focused on my own thoughts for too long because I soon felt a hand in mine before a voice spoke up.
"Two please" I looked over at Gabriel as he handed the woman at the booth the money in exchange for our tickets. He thanked her and guided me through the gates, my eyes rested on our hands, how many years had it been since I simply held hands with someone? In this life simple things like that don't come often, and his hands were warm, far warmer than a humans, even if he didn't have giant wings, the heat alone would give him away. I watched his hand move, fingers turning to intertwine with mine before I heard him chuckle.
"Is this ok?"
"Huh?" I asked, looking up to meet his gaze, he gave me a soft smile, hand gently moving mine as if to gesture to what he was talking about.
"O-oh yeah, yeah it's fine" I smiled before turning to look out at all the people.
"So a red head" I stated.
"Redhead" Gabriel confirmed before pulling me along.
"I mean, while we're here" he said while gesturing to all of the game stalls.
"Would be a shame to not have a little fun"
"You know almost all of these things are rigged" I stated while looking at all the games, watching as so many people tested their skills in order to win prizes for their dates.
"Well I'm sure I can even out any cheating" he replied with a wink as he led me to a game, this one was the one where you knock down the cans, the one where usually the cans are weighted and the ball is far too light to do anything.
"Hello sir!" The overly eager carnie smiled at Gabriel.
"Hey kiddo, so how does this work?" Gabriel asked, playing dumb.
"Five dollars gets three tries, knock the top row off and get a small prize, the middle row gets a medium price and the bottom row gets a large prize." He explained as he took the money Gabriel handed him.
"See anything you like sugarplum?" He asked, looking back at me.
"Surprise me sweetheart" I smiled, earning a smile before he turned back to the game and threw the first two balls, acting like the game was kinda difficult, only knocking a few off the top row, before he knocked the entire stack down with the last ball.
"Saved by the last one" The teenager smiled
"What will it be sir?"
"Hmmm, how about...that" Gabriel told him, pointing to one of the large stuffed animals, the teen got it down and handed it to him.
"Thank you for playing!"
Gabriel turned and handed me the prize...A giant stuffed wolf.
"Why thank you sir" I smiled and took it from him before he reached down and took my hand again.
"Why a wolf?" I asked, curious but having a feeling.
"Well we did first meet on that Werewalker case" he told me, confirming my thoughts.
"To commemorate our first meeting" I smiled down at the plush.
"And when I first started falling for you" he added with a grin making me roll my eyes.
"Whatever you say there Casanova" I smirked, forcing down the blush and feelings his words brought forth.
"Come one let's play another game"
"Oh but I thought they were all rigged" he smirked.
"They are...But they're still fun" I said with a small smile as we walked towards the balloon dart game, this one was run by a not so happy middle aged man.
"Five dollars gets you three darts, 1 dart wins a small prize, 2 darts a medium prize, and 3 a large prize" he droned on as I gave him the money.
"See anything you like sweetheart?" I asked Gabriel, mimicking his earlier words with a smile, earning a chuckle from him as he leaned against the small counter beside me, he looked through all the prizes before his eyes landed back on mine.
"Surprise me Sugar" I pulled my arm back and aimed, throwing the dart before a "pop" was heard once, twice, three times.
"Remind me never to challenge you to a game of darts" he laughed.
"How do you think I make my money at bars?" I laughed.
"I figured men just threw money at you as a gift for being able to just lay their eyes on you" he spoke, stepping behind me and placing his hands on my hips, boy was he laying it on thick.
'Just for the case' I had to remind myself as I felt my heart speed up.
"So what will it be?" The man asked, clearly annoyed with us.
"Oh, right, sorry" I laughed, looking up.
"That one" I stated, watching as he pulled it down and handed it to me, Gabriel let go of me so I could turn and trade him the wolf plush for his plush, a yellow candy heart plush that simply read "sweetie".
"Aw Sugarplum" he smiled.
"Figured it fit since I called you that when we first met...And you eat candy like it's going out of style" I told him as he once again took my hand in his,laughing along with him.
"I love it" he smiled, eyes meeting mine with such a softness that made me stop walking, he had never looked at me like that, not in all the times he almost insisted on eye contact. My gaze didn't break from his, even as my brain took notice of his wings stretching out, seemingly avoiding everyone who walked around us while he brought them closer, the extremely soft looking feathers almost grazing my arms before a voice broke our trance.
"Hello my children, would you like to play a round?" I looked behind me to see a nun, my eyes widening a bit at the sight, a nun at a carnival? Running a stand? My expression must have portrayed my thoughts because the nun let out a soft laugh before explaining.
"We are taking donations for the church, you can play for free and still win a prize though if you'd like" she explained.
"Oh!"
"Just toss a ball into a cup and win a prize," she added.
"Let's give it a shot" Gabriel nodded, the nun smiled and handed us both five balls, and we both found out that the game was a bit more difficult, and I realized that Gabriel wasn't using any of his abilities, it seems he kept things honest when it came to nuns. Soon I ran out of shots, and Gabriel was on his last one, I watched as he threw it and it bounced off of the edge of one cup before coming to rest inside another.
"Congratulations!" The nun applauded, smiling at Gabriel before adding.
"What would you like?"
"I'll let this lovely lady pick something," he replied, smiling at me and earning a smile from the nun.
"How about that?" I asked, pointing towards a small golden chain necklace that held a pair of gold wings, I would be lying if I said the winged being beside wasn't the reason for wanting the necklace, but I just wouldn't let him know that. Though I noticed his expression turn slightly shocked. The nun smiled and turned to grab the necklace, while I grabbed some money from my wallet. When she went to hand me the necklace she stopped upon noticing the money.
"Oh my dear I couldn't" she stated, looking from the hundred dollar bill to me.
"Please, I insist" I told her, but when she still didn't reach to take it.
"I didn't go to church, but I was raised in the faith, bible teachings, rosary, watching Mother Angelica every night" I laughed.
"We need people who fight against all the darkness" added with a smile, her face softened and a smile graced her lips.
"Bless you my dear child, the church thanks you more than words can say"
"Thank you sister, just doing my part" I told her, taking the necklace as she handed it to me. We walked away from the booth before Gabriel stopped.
"Allow me?" He asked, motioning towards the necklace.
"Oh, thank you" I smiled, taking the plushes and handing him the necklace, he walked behind me and gently placed it around my neck before clasping it.
"So, what made you choose that?" He asked, and I had to quickly think of something. No one had yet mentioned his wings so I still figured it was forbidden to talk about.
"I've always loved angel wing images, and I like gold so" I shrugged with a chuckle. He simply nodded, his expression almost…Disappointed, sad? Whatever it was I didn't like seeing it.
"Here ya go, Sweetie" I smiled, handing him the heart, earning a small smile as he looked at it.
"Come on" he stated, reaching for my hand and smiling more when my hand met him halfway. We made our way to the cotton candy vender, still looking around for a woman that fit our description.
"So do we see anyone she would most likely go after?" He asked.
"Almost everyone here" I noted, looking at all the couples.
"We just have to look for couples with a man who has wandering eyes" I added.
"Why do you think she goes after unfaithful men, easy targets?" He asked
"That or she herself was screwed over by a guy"
"So she's taking it out on any guy she can?"
"Maybe she sees it as saving these women from suffering the same way she did"
"A little extreme"
"Says the man who made a frat kid believe he was abducted by aliens"
"Dean-o told you about that? That was funny"
"Funny, but extreme" I laughed
"To each their own" he replied, sticking his tongue out before walking up to the vendor and buying the biggest bag of cotton candy.
"So...Can I ask why this case almost seems personal to you?" Gabriel asked hesitantly while he held the now opened bag out to me. Sighing I reached in and grabbed some.
"Like I said, it's a long boring stor-"
"We hope you two are having better luck" Sam's voice rang out behind me, spinning around. I noticed Sam still looking around but Dean eating his own bag of cotton candy.
"Want some?" He asked, holding the bag out. Opening my mouth to answer I heard a high pitched rumble come from beside me, one that was almost at a tone people wouldn't be able to hear, and after a moment I realized it was almost a sort of growl coming from...Gabriel?
"Na I'm good, Gabriel got us some, thanks though" I smiled before reaching into the bag Gabriel was holding and grabbing some of the candy. Another high pitched noise met my ears, this one more of a pleased hum. Dean simply shrugged and kept eating.
"No luck here, I haven't even seen a red head in this crowd" I told Sam.
"Looks like you've had some luck" a female voice stated, looking over I noticed Claire and Jody. Claire looked down at the giant wolf before looking at me with a raised brow.
"Gabe won it for me" I shrugged.
"So you two just have a date in the middle of a case?" She asked with a smirk.
"We are hoping it will draw her out" I told her, she nodded but the look on her face screamed "you sure about that?".
"Well there are plenty of victims to choose from" Jody stated while we all looked around at the couples.
"If only we knew who was willing to cheat" Sam sighed.
"Tell me about it" I sighed as well, reaching over to grab more cotton candy...Only to grab nothing. I looked over and noticed Gabriel was no longer beside me, quickly looking around I noticed him walking behind the wall and stage that were set up for a magic show that was held earlier in the day.
"Gabriel?" I spoke, loud enough to catch everyone's attention.
"Where the hell is he going?" Dean asked before we all started walking towards where he went. We rounded the corner to see...Gabriel and a red headed woman kissing, his hands resting on her hips and hers on his shoulders. A flood of emotions washed over me, many that I never wanted to experience again.
"Well it's about time you showed up" I stated, not even trying to hide the anger in my voice, I didn't know why I was feeling it so strongly, but I was, and it was annoying. I quickly tossed the wolf onto a nearby bench that I had noticed Gabriel left the heart and pulled out my gun, which luckily, held witch killing bullets. We watched as they slowly broke apart, before she turned to look at me.
"You really have gone downhill with your tastes Gabriel, you had me, and now you're with some human hunter trash? Pity"
"Wait...you two?" Sam asked
"Were together, once upon a time yes, though Gabriel has always been the wild one of his family, never staying in place for too long, took me awhile to track him down"
"Great, two exes in two weeks" I stated with an eye roll.
"Which one was it?" She asked, turning in his arms so her back was against his chest, his arms still around her.
"He had so many, I got rid of quite a few myself" she added
"If he has such a long list why do you want to be with him?" I asked.
"I could ask you the same thing" she snapped before looking over her shoulder at him.
"He made me feel wanted" I didn't like the feeling that was burning in my chest, seemingly wanting to claw its way out as I watched them look at each other, I wanted her away, far away, and that feeling was very new to me.
"But like I said, I've gotten rid of many of his exs already, a little human won't be so hard" she stated, throwing her hand up just as I felt my body being lifted and thrown backwards. I could hear the others yell beside me as they too were thrown, the wind rushed past as I felt a warmth wrap around my back, my body slamming into a steel pole but not feeling any of the impact, almost as if I had an airbag around me. I fell to the ground with a thud, my vision going blurry for a moment, I watched her drag Gabriel along as I tried to regain breath.
"Should have expected that" Dean groaned before I felt someone help me up.
"You ok?" Jody asked
"Yeah I think so" I told her, taking a deep breath and looking around.
"Where did they go?"
"I saw them go that way" Claire pointed towards all the fun houses that sat at the very end of the fairgrounds.
"Let's go," Dean called, already running forward, we all set off, stopping once we got to the funhouses, all three of them.
"Sam you go with Jody and Claire, I'll take this one, Liz you take that one" Dean instructed, being met with no objections we all took off. I slowly stepped into the mirror maze, my gun at the ready.
"I always hated these things" I sighed, using one hand to feel around for where I was supposed to go.
"Poor little hunter" her voice rang out, echoing off of the mirrors.
"You know what one of my powers are? I can see your past, what traumas have cut you and left scars"
"That's nice, do you want a cookie?" I snapped.
"Aww she acts brave, but is she really? Or does she just put up that front to cover the real truth?" I found myself in a large room that was completely encompassed in mirrors, and as I looked around I noticed her reflection in one, I quickly fired and watched as the glass broke to reveal nothing.
"The real truth that she's just a prude" another mirror, another shot.
"Ugly" another mirror, another shot.
"Dimwitted" another mirror, another shot.
"Pathetic excuse for a woman who will eventually die alone" another mirror, another shot, this time though, when it shattered it revealed an open door that led out into the woods that stood behind the fair. Bolting forward I quickly entered the woods, stopping once I got a little ways in, I listened for any sign of movement, my gun at the ready, I only had one bullet left. Just as I heard footsteps behind me I felt arms wrap around mine, pulling them back and restraining me. I tried to move but it felt like I was fighting against a boulder, looking back I was met with those honey eyes, now darker, like any trace of Gabriel was gone.
"Gabe" I spoke, but he didn't respond.
"Neat little trick huh? Something I have been perfecting, makes him do whatever I want"
"Let him go" I spoke through gritted teeth.
"Oh no can do little girl, see this one is the one that I'm not going to let away again. Now that I finally perfected the spell, he's mine forever"
"The other men, they-"
"Were they just test subjects? Yes, though they were highly useful test subjects. Had to start out with hex bags first, then the better I got, well.."
"You ruined lives!"
"Oh boo hoo, you of all people should know how fickle human men can be, don't give them what they want and they'll find it someplace else. Why do you think I like my men to be a bit more...Supernatural" she smiled, stopping her circling and halting beside me. She leaned over and started kissing Gabriel again, my anger beginning to bubble over once more, but it quickly turned into that familiar hurt when I realized-he was kissing her back. I turned my head, my eyes landing on my gun which lay at my feet.
"Now Gabriel, be a good boy...Kill her" she stated, backing away, and I stumbled forward, landing on my hands and knees when Gabriel pushed me away. I turned around, gazing up at him as he slowly made his way forward, towering over me. His eyes never left mine, even as he kicked my gun, causing it to skid to a halt beside me. I could still hear her talking behind him, telling him to get it over with already, and I watched as he stopped at my feet.
"Gabe...I don't wanna hurt you" I told him, slowly reaching for my gun, if nothing else I would shoot him in the shoulder, maybe that would break the spell, even if it would take my last bullet.
"Get on with it!" She shouted.
"Sweetie" I spoke, watching as a blue light took over his eyes for a moment before I noticed his wings stretch out when he stood taller, rolling his shoulders back.
"Gabe?" I whispered, his eyes snapped back to mine, the honey color back to being golden instead of dark. He mouthed a word, and it took me a moment to realize what he was saying.
One
Two
Three! He dove down as I lifted my gun and shot, watching as it hit the witch right between the eyes, she stumbled back, before slowly falling to the ground. I sighed, looking over at Gabriel who had landed on the ground next to me.
"Nice shot," he said with a small smile.
"Please tell me you weren't just playing along that whole time" I told him
"No Sugarplum, I really wasn't in control of myself-I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked, sitting up and looking me over.
"Na I'm fine, I was just wondering, because if you were, I was gonna shoot you in the foot" wide eyes met mine as I gave him an unimpressed look.
"You wouldn't"
"I would"
"...do you have bullets?"
"Be glad I don't" I replied, causing him to sigh and put his head on my shoulder.
"So how many crazy exs am I gonna have to fight?" I asked while looking at the limp body.
"You gonna fight my exs off me?" He asked, peeking up at me before letting out a slight laugh.
"Hopefully no more"
"Hopefully" I nodded just as I noticed the group running towards us.
"What the hell happened?" Dean asked, looking between us and the body.
"Gabriel was under the spell, I chased them out here, he broke free and I shot her" I shrugged, Gabriel lifting his head from my shoulder.
"So what do we do now?" Claire asked, looking at the body.
"We'll get rid of...this" Sam said motioning towards the body.
"Claire, why don't you and Jody make sure no one heard any gunshots?" Dean said, the girls nodded and turned to leave, but not before Jody turned to me.
"Thank you"
"All in a day's work" I smiled back, taking Gabriel's hand as he helped me up.
"Need help?" I asked the boys, gesturing towards the body.
"We got it," Sam smiled.
"You go enjoy the rest of the fair, we'll meet you back at the motel" Dean thumbed back towards the festivities.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, go on"
"Ok, I'll see y'all back at the motel" I smiled, taking Gabriel's hand and walking back towards the fair.
"Wait" he stopped before we got into the eyesight of the crowds, I watched as he disappeared and reappeared with the sound of his wings. He smiled as he handed me the wolf plush, holding onto the stuffed heart. I thanked him as I took it before he took my free hand and walked us into the crowd that seemed unknowing of what just happened not too far away.
"So, what else do you want to do?" He asked, looking over at me. I thought for a moment, looking around at everything before my eyes landed on a certain ride.
"The ferris wheel" I stated, watching as a smile graced his lips.
"Your wish is my command" he replied, leading me towards the ride.
"Let's not" I laughed, earning a raised brow from him.
"You shouldn't be under anyone's command, you're your own person, you should do what you want to do" I told him while we waited in line.
"Very well" he nodded
"But I want to take you on to the ferris wheel" he added with a laugh, earning a laugh from me as well. We climbed into our cart and waited for the ride to start, looking over at the night sky while we waited.
"So...can I ask you something?" He asked after a moment.
"Bout what?" I asked, meeting his gaze.
"The things Cassandra said, in the mirror room, and in the woods-about fickle men"
"...Only if you tell me how come you and her split" I replied while we started to ascend.
"She was right when she said I used to be the type that never stuck around long, we had a thing, for a while, but she got possessive"
"Thought you liked possessive?" I smirked, referring to his reaction in the car earlier when I said I wouldn't share what was mine.
"There are two types, the get off my man only I can touch him like that...can be hot...But she was the controlling type...like remember how you said you would never tell a guy what he could or couldn't do...she was that type"
"Oh, the toxic kind"
"Yeah, so I bolted"
"I don't blame you for that"
"So what about those things she said," he said after a moment.
"A while back, about six years ago, three years after I started hunting, I met a guy. I had only slightly dated a few guys in my teens years, but here I was, twenty-one, and this guy came along...and at first seemed great. Remember how I said I wasn't "that kind of girl", that's because I'm waiting til I'm married to have sex...he didn't like that. What started out a good relationship turned into him getting angry when I wouldn't have sex with him...those things Cassandra said...Were things he would call me-Our relationship ended when I found out he cheated on me."
"Between him, and my dad leaving my mom for a younger girl after twenty five years of marriage...I don't trust many guys" I told him, hugging the wolf tighter as I remembered everything, but that warm feeling I had felt for a second when I almost hit the pole earlier washed over me again, and I found myself turning to look at Gabriel before I even realized it.
"No offence, but it sounds like you dated boys, not men" he smirked, referencing what I told him in the morgue on our first case.
"I suppose your right" I laughed
"If it means anything, your ex is a complete idiot, and if you want I can totally make him think he got abducted by aliens" he smirked
"With slow dancing?" I asked, a smirk of my own.
"Hells yeah! Maybe even to My heart will go on" he replied causing us both to laugh.
"Can I ask you one more thing?" I asked.
"Shoot sweetcheeks"
"When she threw us, I didn't hit the pole as hard as I should have...You were fighting the spell even then weren't you?"
"Yeah, when I saw her in the crowd I realized she was the witch we were looking for so I went to confront her, that's when she kissed me, and that's when the spell took hold, but I was fighting it the whole time"
"Well thank you, for fighting"I told him, leaning against his shoulder.
"Always Sugar" he stated, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as we both enjoyed the rest of the ride.
And there is part 2! I hope everyone enjoyed it! Let me know what you think and stay tuned for chapter 3!

Date Night
Finally, it has happened. This is not an AU! It’s set in OP land. I hadn’t planned to put this story put in a specific spot in the timeline, but my story had other plans. Set sometime after Wano. Minor spoilers if you’re not caught up.
I started writing this when I needed a break from Black Cat and was inspired after seeing the wonderful drawing by the artist ebibi_0629 over on twitter. You should definitely check it out, it’s fantastic, and their other artwork is beautiful too.
Summary: Having Monkey D. Luffy as a captain was never going to be easy when you're dating. SaNami. One-shot. Rating: M Warning: Minor spoilers if you’re not caught up with Wano.
Can also be found on AO3 and FFN.
Enjoy.
------------------------------------
“Cat Thief Nami and Vinsmoke Sanji, put your hands in the air and don’t resist.”
Marines starting to fill the restaurant through the front and the back, blocking off their escape routes.
“What did you just call me?” Sanji hotly replied, teeth grinding his cigarette and glaring at the marine who just spoke.
Nami sighed at Sanji’s reaction, it certainly wasn’t the time to start pulling on that thread. Especially when they had guns and swords pointed at them. She looked around the restaurant, eyeing civilians and looking for a weak spot for an escape route. Sanji was pretty proficient in dodging her lightening attacks, but normal people weren’t. Even if Sanji didn’t, he sprang back quickly enough.
A marine must have clocked her twitching hand and skittish gaze, as he raised his gun, “We have the place surrounded. There’s no point in trying to escape.”
Not a moment later, there was a sound of a clattering chair and a marine was crying out as the gun was kicked to the floor. “Just who do you think you’re pointing that at?” Sanji said heatedly. He didn’t love guns being pointed at him, who does? But to point them at his beloved Nami-san was a different matter entirely.
The atmosphere thickened in the restaurant. Civilians were slowly being filtered out and they both knew that wasn’t a good thing. Both Sanji and Nami were now standing, looking ready to fight and the marines tensed.
It’d been a beautiful day before they were rudely interrupted by the marines. They’d stopped at an island the day before and the crew had spent the day restocking what they needed. Whilst Sanji was getting ingredients, he’d heard about a new restaurant that had just opened by a chef with, apparently, a remarkable reputation. He didn’t need to hear anything else; he’d turned on his heal and begun hunting it down in an attempt to secure a reservation.
The joy on Nami’s face when he’d got back and told her was exactly what he’d been hoping for. Her face was dazzling as it lit up, and he enjoyed being the one to cause it. It’d been a while since they’d last been on land and had free time. Sure they spent time on board together, but it wasn’t nearly as romantic as a quiet, upscale restaurant. A much different vibe to their usual dinnertimes of shouting and food being stolen. Nami had excitedly told him she had just the dress but refrained from giving detail. She loved an excuse to dress up.
And dress up she did. She exited from her room the next evening in a black dress. A black dress that had a swopping back, exposing her creamy skin and a plunging V-shaped neckline that tied around her neck. Her hair was pulled back into a sophisticated bun, highlighting her graceful neck. It was a very dizzying experience for Sanji as she walked towards him. A few members of the crew had wolf whistled whilst others oohed and awed.
When Sanji had finally regained his composure, he’d walked up to her and placed a kiss on her hand, lowly saying how gorgeous she looked.
Nami had smiled at him coyly, but she’d taken an appreciative look at him too. He dressed in suits normally, but she’d never grow tired of the way they highlighted his trim form. She picked up on the orange handkerchief neatly folded in his breast pocket. And if memory served her correctly, this suit was new too. She was pleased, he’d put in just as much effort as she had.
They made their way into town after that, hand in hand. But not before Nami had a word with Robin about keeping an eye on them. Nami wasn’t particularly worried, they’d been there a day already and no threats had been noted, but it never hurt to be safe.
That’s why Nami couldn’t understand what had led to their current predicament. Only a day here and the marines had sniffed them out?
The last civilian being escorted out caused everyone to erupt into action. Just as one of the marines lifted their gun, Sanji flicked the table up with his foot and kicked the top, sending it soaring in front of him. He launched himself towards another group of marines before they could gather their wits. Close combat meant they couldn’t get a good shot, Sanji thought to himself, aware of the small room they were trapped in.
He could still kick himself. He’d been much too preoccupied with his beautiful Nami-san and had failed to notice the large group moving towards them. This is exactly what his observation haki was for. Now they were stuck in this situation because of his blunder.
Meanwhile, Nami had already pulled her clima-tact out from her dress and was spinning it, black clouds rising to the ceiling. She’d only need a few more seconds. Anyone who attempted to advance, was hit as she extended her clima-tact. With the darkening sky, Sanji understood what was about to happen. He started to clear a path towards the door, they leapt out just in time as thunder came crashing down, electrocuting those left in the restaurant.
They weren’t out of the woods yet. Turning around, they were met with a group of non-crispy marines.
“How did this happen?” They were both running side by side through the town centre, a hoard of marines shouting behind them. A stark contrast to the way they’d entered town.
“I don’t know, I didn’t see any marines yesterday when I was out food shopping.”
She peeked behind her shoulder, marines still on their tail. “Me neither. Who had the den den mushi before we left? I need to call them to let them know. They might need to move the ship.”
“Franky. But we also need to find anyone who’s in town.”
Nami groaned. Her feet were starting to hurt and honestly, she was tired. This was not the evening she was expecting.
“Do you want me to carry you?” As much as he loved her in heels, even Sanji knew with all the running they couldn’t be comfortable. She normally wore heels, but he hadn’t seen those before, and they were definitely taller than her others.
Bless him. Bless him for realising without her even having to say anything. “No, it’s fine. But we do need a plan. Running around town isn’t going to do anything.”
She was right, of course. Looking around, Sanji couldn’t see an opening. Maybe they should start using back alleys, a risky move but he could always use skywalk if they got trapped. Daring a look behind him, he was surprised to see the marines were no longer on their tails.
They were further away.
Much further away.
He stopped.
“Why are you… oh.” Nami just a few feet behind him, observed as the marines pulled away to run in a different direction.
Suddenly she was pulled into a small alleyway next to them. Sanji curled his arm around her waist to draw her into him as he leant against the alleyway wall and put a finger to his lips. A second later a group of marines were running past them from the opposite direction where they had just been standing.
“What the hell is going on?” Nami whispered. Why would they pull back when they were on top of them?
Peering out of the alleyway, Sanji couldn’t see a single marine anymore. “I don’t know, it doesn’t make sense. But maybe we should call Sunny whilst we have the chance?”
Nami’s hand disappeared down the front of her dress and Sanji’s eyes bulged, his arm tightening around her. She smiled naughtily at him and produced a small den den mushi.
Sanji glared at the snail, lucky bastard.
“Stop that.” Nami smacked his arm.
Just as she was dialling, Sanji’s hand covered hers to stop her. His smooth voice interrupted anything she was about to say. “Don’t bother calling.” He sighed in defeat.
She followed his pointed finger to the main street just in time to see Luffy running past them, laughing and holding his hat on his head. Marines following him. So that’s why they’d pulled away just now, they needed back up.
Bigger fish to try.
“That idiot,” they both said simultaneously. A night ruined because of their captain. Nami couldn’t stop herself from clenching Sanji’s top. His hand came to rest on hers, trying to soothe whatever patience she had left.
When he turned the corner and was out of sight, any previous worry drained from the both of them. They were no longer worried about any unexpected threats; it was just another of Luffy’s reckless actions.
Nami leaned her forehead against Sanji’s chest, humourlessly chuckling. “Well, this has been romantic.”
Sanji turned his attention towards the woman in his arms. Admiring her. “You really do look gorgeous in that dress. It’s such a shame it’s all been ruined by our idiot captain.”
“Hmmm, maybe the first part, but the evening’s not over yet and Robin’s got first watch.” Nami purred into Sanji’s ear, pressing her body against his and trapping him against the wall. Not that Sanji had any issues with that.
Her lips ghosted against the shell of his ear and she felt a shiver run down his body. It was too fun sometimes to rile him up.
His hands moved from around her back to her waist and she pulled back to look at his face, there was still evidence of his blush, but he was leaning down. She leaned up, slowly, and she felt their breaths mingle, their lips only a breath away from the others. She’d kissed him so many times, but she still felt her stomach knot in anticipation.
“Heeeey! You guys! There you are!”
Their eyes snapped open and any sexual tension that had been building quickly deflated as they pulled apart. Simultaneously, their heads turned in defeat to see their captain charging towards them, a hoard of marines on his heels.
Luffy was leading them towards the pair.
Anger welled in Nami. “You idiot! What do you think you’re doing?” Shaking her fist at their steadily approaching captain.
Sanji grabbed her hand, nudging her to start moving. They got a head start but Luffy easily caught up.
“I dunno what happened, they just started chasing me.” Luffy carelessly shrugged, sprinting next to them.
Both of them doubted that explanation.
“And you have a moustache on because…?” Nami asked.
“Robin said if I wanted to go out, it had to be in disguise. I had some left from Dressroba.”
Nami could only imagine the badgering the woman had received before relenting and letting him leave. Robin had failed, but she’d done a better job than anyone else could have.
“Is anyone else in town?” Sanji asked.
Luffy shook his head.
“Okay, well we can’t exactly lead them back to the ship. What do you suggest, oh wise captain?”
Luffy’s eyes gleamed and he came to a stop. “We fight them.”
Sanji and Nami stopped, both flanking either of Luffy’s sides. The marines didn’t stand a chance.
.
.
.
All three came back looking much more dishevelled than when they left. Nami and Sanji’s mood had definitely worsened as they kept glaring at Luffy.
No one needed to ask any questions. They’d all been on the crew long enough.
Nami didn’t say anything about why they returned in that state and with Luffy either, instead she started barking orders for them to start leaving. The supplies were bought, and the log pose had set earlier in the day, there was no reason for them to hang about any longer- especially now the marines knew they were here.
Once they were out on the open sea, the crew was starting to wind down. The darkening sky showing how late it was becoming and they dropped anchor.
Nami stopped by the galley before going to her room. She stood in the doorway, watching Sanji fuss around as he counted the new supplies. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed about how their evening had turned out. The food at the restaurant had been fantastic and the wine exquisite. Having Sanji just look at her, having his full attention, and not having to fight off Luffy or serve anyone else, was a nice change of pace. Her words from the alleyway crept back into her mind.
Drawing on her skills as a thief, she crept up behind him and he actually jumped when her arms ran up from his hips to wrap around his waist. Instantly he relaxed when he realised who it was.
“It’s such a relief that it’s you. I was worried for a second it might be Luffy coming to beg for some food.” Sanji smirked over his shoulder at her.
“All he’d need to do is grow some breasts and he might stand a chance of it working.”
Sanji snorted, “Not unless he managed to turn into you.”
He said it with no hesitation, such a charmer.
But she needed to remember why she came into the galley originally.
“Come meet me in my room,” She breathed into his ear and pulled away, dodging the arms that attempted to draw her back in. She made sure to emphasise the swing of her hips as she left the kitchen. She gave him five minutes, maximum.
When she’d gotten to her room, she’d decided to undo the bun in her hair. There was no point keeping it when it was already a mess and after what she had planned, it wouldn’t be getting neater.
There was a hurried knock at the door and Nami smiled to herself, not even five minutes had passed. She walked over to open the door and Sanji was softly smiling at her, he’d taken off his suit jacket, leaving him in just his waist coat.
Wasting no time, she tugged on his tie to pull him into the room, and into a hurried kiss. She made sure to flick the lock on her door. His hands quickly found her waist and he squeezed as he returned the kiss. She hummed into the kiss when his hands started to run along her bare back and their lips slowed, savouring the quiet moment to enjoy each other.
Slowly, he walked her the bed until her legs met with the wooden side. Her hands started to undo the buttons of his vest as his toyed with the tied fabric at her neck. As soon as his vest hit the floor and the fabric around her neck was untied, they were both falling onto the bed.
They pulled apart and Sanji used that moment to peel the top half of her dress down. He stopped breathing; sheer white lace looked back at him. Oh god, it was his favourite bra. He could see her hardening nipples straining underneath.
Nami squirmed under him. Was it flattering that he appreciated her form so much? Yes. But she did not have the patience for this right now. Grabbing his hand, she moved it up to her breast and he regained his sense. Large hands curled around her breast and she moaned, pulling him back into a kiss. This one was scorching, lips moving frantically, and his tongue swept against her lower lip. She gasped when his hand finally stopped caressing her breast and his thumb rolled her nipple. One hand grasped his shoulder whilst her other found his length through his trousers and gave a rub in appreciation. He broke the kiss and groaned, not expecting it.
Using his surprise to her advantage, she pushed his shoulder to roll them and she settled herself on top of him. She retracted her hand and instead rolled her hips against them, both throwing their heads back. His hands ran from her thighs up to her hips, pushing the dress to reveal matching underwear.
This was definitely planned. And that thought alone turned him on even more.
Loud thumping outside the door made them both jump. It was getting late, what were they still doing running around? Not a second later and the thumping noise was at her door, frantically knocking.
“Oi, you guys in there? You have to see this.” Luffy’s voice cutting through the quiet and the door handle started to frantically shake.
Thank god she’d locked it. That’s the last thing either of them needed right now.
Before either of them could saying anything, a smooth voice was interrupting Luffy’s attempt to knock the door down. “I’m sure they want their privacy right now. Why don’t you show me instead?”
Footsteps started to retreat, but Luffy was still arguing that everyone should see it.
Sanji could sob. Robin-chan deserved a medal.
Nami was thinking the same thing. Her hands pressed against Sanji’s chest and she let out a relieved breath. She smiled back down at Sanji, leaning down to press a tender kiss on his lips to try and recover the mood.
It didn’t take long. Sanji’s tongue sweeping back into her mouth and he rolled his hips up, displaying just how ready he was. Nami’s fingers hurriedly worked the buttons of his top, leaving the tie for the time being. She never minded it staying on. Sanji made quick work of her bra, flinging it onto the floor and his shirt soon joined.
She leaned down to press their now naked chests together and they gasped at the contact. She avoided his lips, choosing to press kisses along his jaw and work her way down his neck to lightly nip at his pulse.
He was almost putty underneath her. His hand caressed down her side, working their way down her body to cup her and run a finger teasingly against her covered lips. She stopped her ministrations to moan lightly, pushing her hips against his hand. His finger continued to stroke her through her underwear, and he groaned, she was so wet. And hot. Her hands were back at his shoulders, clutching them as her hips wiggled to get his hand to move more and breathing heavily into his neck.
Nami had completed forgotten about Sanji’s neck for the time being, instead she could feel tiny jolts running through her stomach as he teased her. He had the most skilful hands and her stomach knotted in anticipation at the thought of them in her.
Once he’d fully soaked her underwear, he pushed them to one side. His fingers were just about to make contact, to feel her wet heat on his fingers and hear the most delicious moans tumble from her mouth when someone in the room coughed.
Someone that wasn’t Sanji or Nami.
There was a mouth on the opposite wall. That was who had coughed. Thank god it was only that and not an ear or eye.
“I apologise for interrupting, but things are getting out of control outside.”
They both looked puzzled for a second, trying to comprehend what was being said through their hazy minds. The ship tipping abruptly to one side cleared the fog. Sanji just manged to gain his bearings and stop them both from rolling off the bed.
An ear blossomed next to the mouth after that to hear the reply.
“What the hell is going on?” Nami exclaimed, sitting up.
“Jinbe lured a peculiar sea monster closer to the ship that Luffy had spotted. Luffy now wants to keep it as a pet. He’s currently trying to pull it on board to put in the fish tank,” Robin’s voice calmly responded; despite the news she’d just delivered.
“Jinbe what?!”
Luffy she could understand, but Jinbe?! He was supposed to be a calm, wise man. How had he got sucked into this? There would be hell to pay. Not only for their idiotic actions, but to ruin their date and their private time alone. She almost wanted to whine, she was still worked up and desperate for his hands. She could feel Sanji still just as ready to go beneath her.
Sanji sighed, his hands groping her hips one last time and silently mourning what was about to happen coming to an abrupt end.
Just one night. That’s all they’d ask for. But apparently that was too much when you had Monkey D. Luffy as a captain.
------------------------------------
I take pure delight in cockblocking them. First with spiders and now Luffy.
I haven’t seen a great deal of Jinbe interacting with the crew, so he may be out of character. But, if he’s joining the Straw-hat’s, he’s surely going to muck in with the chaos at some point! Also, I really want to see to see Nami scolding the monster quartet.
I’m supposed to be a multi-shipper, yet I cannot stop thinking about these two. And I’m about to start reading WCI in the manga… that’s not going to help either.
Thanks for reading!

The Five's Store au we were talking about?
yesssss the good kush. gonna do this in bullets because i feel like it might get long. jsyk i didn’t read through literally any of this so for whatever typos i made sorry lmao
five wakes up one day (post apocalypse) and thinks hey, you know what would be a completely rational and not at all impulsive idea to follow through with.
that’s right folks.
he’s gonna start a store.
the thing here is, five has absolutely no idea how business functions. sure he’s been part of a massive organization for years, but actually doing like,, store things? lol what
but that doesn’t matter because he’s gonna have a store and he can learn as he goes, no big deal
it’s a very big deal. five does not know how to manage a store.
it’s literally just called “five’s store.” how did he fund it? when did they build it? nobody knows. it’s like those fast-food restaurants that just pop up one night and you have no clue how they got there.
so. five’s got his store. this is nice. he didn’t actually know what he wanted to sell, but because his siblings couldn’t talk him out of this (read: they didn’t know it was happening until it was too late) they suggest things
baked goods! bicycles! books! postcards! writing materials! furniture! shut up klaus nobody is selling what you’re about to suggest shUT UP-
so five decides, fuck it, and just. shoves everything into this store. how? i don’t know. nobody does.
i literally have no ideas how stores work so im playing all of this by ear (vanya if you’re out there) but five also doesn’t know how stores work so it’s all good. gucci, if you will. five has probably stolen gucci before, for a mission or something idk just a thought
so five has his store but he’s so bad at managing it. first off, hiring employees didn’t occur to him. it’s just five in a building
customer: *walks in* hello can i have a cake pleasefive: sure :) five: *gives them a pie*customer: little boy, who do you think you are? i said a cakefive: cake? oh shit you’re right, sorry.five: *gives them a breadroll* :)customer: what a rude little boy! let me speak to your manager. is it even legal for a teen to be employed?(he passes as 15 ok props to aidan for being older than his character’s physical age lmao)five: ok *walks out into the back room* *walks back in* hi what can i help you with
the kids love him though. it’s always “mommy when can we shop at five’s again?” etc etc and five is like. shitposting irl. without realizing. he genuinely doesn’t know the difference between types of cheeses. he can’t tell you how an LED is different from a fluorescent bulb. he actually, literally, doesn’t know this shit.
why is he in charge of a store? fuck if i know, but im having fun with this
the siblings try to help out, but it ends with five kicking them out because they were “arranging the cacti wrong” or “messing with the bathroom toilet covers too much”
what are bathroom toilet covers? idk but we have them in my house and we only use them for christmas theyre the worst. imagine a fucking snowman staring at you everytime you want to take a shit. goodluck
five loves his store dearly tho
from offbrand cream cheese to onbrand sweatervests.
hm luther probably tries to help with the gardening section once in a while. he comes in and immediately has to hold back tears because “five when was the last time you watered these begonias.”
‘oh last week probably i dont know’
“five you have to water them at least once a day”
‘how was i supposed to know that’
“five you OWN a STORE-”
so yeah luther just. silently looms in the corner. watering plants. he scares asshole customers away even though he never says anything he just stands there. and waters the plants. some nice ladies initiate conversation and he just goes off about plant things which is so valid i love him
he’s like hargid but less rough around the edges. friendly giant. bfg but with plants. five never comments on how he takes a plant home occasionally.
diego sticks around the cutlery for reasons well known. he always tries to take knives home, to sharpen them, he claims, but five draws the fucking line there.
im making it sound like five owns some massive corporate building. no. his store is like a very compact IKEA. it has everything an ikea would, but it’s barely the size of a target. actually targets are pretty big. walmart maybe? dollar store? bigger than a dollar store though. hmmm just an average department store
lowes. that’s it. it’s like an ikea but the size of a lowes. five owns a lowes called Five’s Store.
okay so allison’s sole purpose is to stand outside and offer free autographs. she basically bribes people into going in. it’s like walmart. as soon as you go in you physically can’t go out without buying something.
jk she also helps five with his customer service because what the fuck it’s terrible. also funding. she’s a rich actress. all of them have an inheritance probably though, but five didn’t want to use reggies money because this is all a really huge “fuck you” to dad. cheers to him.
OH MY GOD ALLISON PROBABLY SHOOTS ADS FOR FIVE’S STORE (in future mentions will be abbreviated to FS for my convenience) AND THAT’S HOW THEY GET TRACTION YES
klaus and ben kinda uhhhh hang around. klaus is kicked out by five a lot because “don’t touch that” “get your hands off” “where did you get a chainsaw? put that down, klaus stop-” and all that usual average stuff, but when they need it klaus is willing to be a cashier for a little bit
ben is the only one with like. actually useful tips.
ben voice: no that’s not how you purchase items to sellfive: ???ben: here okay just go do something else and let the adults handle the money okay?
five can’t punch ben because he’s dead so HA. klaus probably makes ben corporeal though rip
ooo ben can also shelve things with his interdimensional wiggly worms! he can reach those high high shelves that have packaged stuff on them.
…costco? no i dont think FS is as massive as costco moving on
ben shelves stuff. we are eternally grateful for that. bless
vanya is the only actual competent adult you guys know this right. like sure the rest of them come CLOSE (mainly ben and allison, but ben doesn’t really count because he’s dead) but vanya is the only actual competent adult in this family (pogo dni)
so vanya does the taxes. rip to her. nobody likes taxes, but she’s taking one for the team
diego helps sometimes. tries to help sometimes. he brings her coffee does that count
kidding, diego knows how to taxes a little bit. emphasis on the “little” and “bit” and the silent “barely”
so yeah they all help out and i know i said five kicks them all out but i lied that never really happens. the store is like their side job but they’re not paid and it’s more of a hobby that got out of control
honestly five probably brings grace in and she bakes away because it makes her so happy that her cookies can make so many people happy. let her bake please.
claire probably owns an easy bake oven. just saying
yeah five has a store and it’s the literal best thing. it’s midnight so im gonna cut myself off but skjfsk this au is amazing thank you spencer for this golden concept
im gonna be honest all of this really reminds me of my mcdonalds five au which i might ramble about if requested lol

The Play’s The Thing
Pairing: Jongin x reader
Genre: theater/actors!AU, friends to lovers, fluff
Rating: PG13 for language
Word Count: 2,683
Request: "I can't take making love to anyone but you" NINI SMUT FAMKS
‘Fanny! You are killing me!’
‘No man dies of love but on the stage, Mr. Crawford.’
‘You seemed almost as fearful of notice and praise as other women were of neglect,’ Daniel says to you, with undue pomp and circumstance.
He carries on with the rest of his monologue, so seriously and stiffly that you want to snort. You catch Jongin’s amused look from where he stands and almost cave. For weeks he’s shown an almost supernatural ability to make you lose your ass and laugh at the most inopportune times.
But this isn’t your first rodeo; nor is it your first overly self-important acting partner, and you refuse to break character. Fanny Price would be proud indeed of your composure.
Other than Daniel’s overacting, the dress rehearsal goes off without a hitch. Tomorrow night you’ll be on stage again, this time in full costume and make-up, living your dream. The thought makes your stomach buzz with excitement. No matter how many plays you do, it never gets old.
‘I don’t know how you keep a straight face,’ a male voice says in your ear later, in the dressing room.
His breath teases the skin of your neck and you grin involuntarily. You can’t help it, no matter how professional and composed you try to be Jongin has a certain effect on you. When you turn he’s slinging his bag over his shoulder and raising a brow at you.
You turn off the lights at your dressing station and give him a wink. ‘Patience you must have, my young padawan.’
He turns off his own and folds his arms, leaning a hip on the table. ‘Want to run lines tonight?’
Your grin fades. ‘I think we’re both as ready as we’ll ever be,’ you reply quickly. Best to keep your distance from him, now that this is almost over.
Instantly you regret the words as you watch his face fall. Dammit, he looks like a sad puppy dog and all you can think about is kissing his stupidly handsome face. Therein lies the problem; if you go to the bar down the street, or to his apartment or yours, one more time and run lines with him... you might officially fall in love with him.
Which is definitely not going to happen.
‘We could just get a drink then? To celebrate opening night tomorrow?’
You sigh, caving and hating yourself for it. ‘Alright fine. But you’re buying.’
‘Deal.’ He smiles - so easily, so brightly, you wonder how on earth he’s remained so untainted by the world that joy comes so easily to him.
The walk to Mulligan’s down the street is your hell and your heaven all in one. It’s an exquisite torture to be walking down the sidewalk in NYC with such a handsome man beside you, watching the sky paint a colorful sunset
His arm is warm and strong slung casually around your waist. The way he meanders in an out of conversation with joy. Both would make it seem like you’re a couple to anyone passing by.
You sigh as he holds open the door and escorts you to the familiar booth you usually occupy in the corner.
He even orders for you. Not in a possessive asshat way, like he knows best. But with an ease bred from the fact that he knows what you like. It should shock you, that you’d be fine with someone else taking control, but by this point you’re used to being surprised by Jongin.
‘Are you excited for tomorrow? Or nervous?’ you ask him conversationally once the drinks arrive.
He takes a drink and considers the question, his brows tugging together. ‘Hmm, mostly excited. It may only be my second official rodeo, but I think I’m ready.’
‘That’s good, I’m glad. You’ve been working your ass off. If I didn’t know you were still a rookie I’d have thought you’ve been doing this for years.’
He bows dramatically in thanks. ‘What are you most looking forward to about the opening tomorrow?’
‘Tomorrow I get to catch you in flagrante delicto with Jennifer Rogers and try not to laugh my ass off on stage. So that will be fun.’ You joke with him, but inside the thought makes you want to punch something.
‘Oh, come on. You know I can’t take making love to anyone but you,’ he counters with a cheesy grin.
His eyes are teasing, but they also drift down to focus on your lips briefly and you feel that frisson of heat that stirs annoyingly whenever you think about kissing him for real, off stage.
‘Easy tiger, Fanny Price is a lady,’ you say with a hair flip. ‘The most she does on stage is kiss. Thank you very much.’
‘She does kiss two different men though,’ he says with a waggle of his brows. ‘Scandalous.’
‘Jerk.’ You laugh and throw a sugar packet at him.
He dodges it easily. ‘So. Who’s the better kisser, me or Daniel?’
‘Who’s the better kisser, me or Jenn?’ you counter rapidly to avoid letting him know how much you love to make out with him on stage.
He holds up his hands in surrender. ‘Touché.’
The waitress stops by and he orders another round and some french fries.
‘You know, I saw her and that AADA prick who plays Mr. Rushworth making out in the props closet last week,’ he says conversationally.
Your eyebrows shoot up. ‘Well, at least it’s on brand, right?’
He laughs easily and takes another swig of his beer. ‘They seem happy. I’m glad for them.’
‘Kind of cliche, don’t you think? Falling in love while performing Mansfield Park,’ you say.
He runs his thumb along a deep groove in the wood of the table, his brows pulling together in thought. ‘I think it’s nice. Life imitating art and all that. Especially when it comes to love. More love is never a bad thing.’
You laugh, too loudly for the moment, and take another sip. He runs a hand through his hair and sighs, his lips tugging into a lopsided grin.
‘I know, you think I’m too sentimental,’ he says, holding your gaze.
One day you’re going to sit down and figure out how the hell he gets behind your miles of armor, you think. How he undoes you and makes you more vulnerable and exposed than you’ve ever been. As if there’s something in his cologne or on his touch that makes him your truth serum.
‘No, it’s not that at all,’ you say and swallow around the feelings rising in you. ‘I think it’s sweet that you believe in love so much.’
‘There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time,’ he says dramatically, waving an arm broadly out to his side.
‘Okay fine. I’ll give you that,’ you say pointing at him with the hand holding your beer.
‘You must believe in it to some degree. Even the most cold hearted actress has to have a bit of a soft and sentimental interior. You have to, to do what we do.’
‘Yes, of course.’ He knows how much you hate talking about feelings, but you decide to indulge him. ‘I love my family dearly, natch. My friends. My cats. And I love acting. I’m so blessed to be doing this full time.’
You look around at the dive bar; the faded neon lights, the bikers playing pool in the corner, the waitress carrying a gigantic plate of nachos. You think about your self-described heart of stone and wonder what you’d qualify as love.
‘I love queso, no question. A damn fine cup of coffee. Walks through Central Park when it’s snowing. I love discovering an amazing musical off- off- off- Broadway and knowing it will blow up soon, but I saw it first. Still can’t say I’ve ever personally experienced the kind of love ol’ Jane was so keen on.’
He ponders that while he watches you, a question working its way around his face and you know it’s going to hit you hard when he asks.
‘What kind of love do you have for me, then? Am I on par with queso?’
He doesn’t say it in a smart-ass way. Nor does he say it in jest. There’s something so sincere and open in his face when he asks that your mouth falls open slightly.
You don’t know whether to laugh or cry, and in that moment you see a million ways this could play out. Your creative mind can’t help but imagine endless possibilities.
You could slide back into the guise of the whip-smart, sassy woman you’re comfortable with and tell him he’ll need to buy you more than a few beers to earn the level of queso. Then he will stop looking like every romance lead ever and you’ll put him permanently in the ‘devilishly handsome, talented, and kind, but just friends’ category and all is well.
You could tease that he’s far too delicious to be just queso; that he’s perhaps an expensive dark chocolate. With sea salt. Maybe you’ll watch him with bedroom eyes and lick your lips. Maybe he’ll invites you back to his place and you will have sex, finally. Maybe you’ll get part, but not even close to all of what you secretly want from him.
You could tell him he makes your heart sing and causes you to want all the stupid things you swore you’d never be naive enough to want from a man.
You could tell him you love him more than New York city, damn near more than acting. You could tell him you’ve fallen head over heels for him over the past few months; that you’d even be willing to follow him back to LA when this play wraps.
But… no. He’s not some manic pixie dream boy, here to charm you out of your tough outer shell; or some hero, riding up on his white horse to save you from another night alone in your bed.
He’s just a man who couldn’t possibly want you back, who can’t know how much this question makes you long for things that will never be.
So you look down at your beer to escape the intensity of his gaze and shake your head slightly.
‘Yes, Jongin. I love you like I love queso. You’re equally as good with a beer.’ You give him a warm smile and click your bottle to his before taking a sip.
He chuckles to himself. ‘Are you going to leave me and run off with our oh-so-formal Daniel? Will I be cast aside just like Henry Crawford.’ He clutches his chest like the thought pains him.
‘Excuse me, you’re hardly Henry Crawford.’
He scoffs. ‘What, aren’t I as handsome? As impulsive? As romantic?’
‘Hmmm. Handsome, impulsive, and romantic? Yes, that’s definitely you. But a bastard and a cheat? Nah, you could ever be that.’
The joking leaves his eyes and he watches you curiously. You wonder what he sees.
‘So, you think I’m handsome then?’
You choke on a sip of beer. Shit. ‘Umm. I’m pretty sure anyone with a pulse would know you’re handsome. Aliens on Mars know it. Prehistoric fossils know it.’
He shakes his head, suddenly more serious. ‘No, but you think I’m handsome?’
The change in tone makes your heart race and you awkwardly brush your hair behind your ear. ‘Of course I do. Why does it matter though?’
He looks relieved and leans back in his chair. ‘Because I think you’re the most beautiful woman in the world and I just wanted to make sure you weren’t joking.’
He says it so matter of factly you struggle to accept the compliment. Surely he’s just being dramatic. ‘Ha ha, very funny.’
With a noise of frustration he grips the table and pulls his chair around so he’s sitting side by side with you. He holds your gaze and rests his hand on your knee.
With anyone else you’d be driven mad by how casual and touchy-feely he is. An arm across your shoulders at read-throughs. Nudging your feet with his when you lean against opposite couches at your place. The way he toys with the hair on the back of your neck when he thinks you’re focusing too hard.
‘I’m not kidding. I like you. A lot. You always laugh it off when I say something romantic, so I just assumed you weren’t interested in being more than friends.’
Your mouth falls open. ‘Are you fucking with me?’
He makes the damn puppy dog face again. ‘No, I’m not. I even tried to kiss you once, for real, remember? Backstage after that long night of blocking scenes last week?’
You frown and try to remember. ‘I mean... you helped me fix that necklace that was tangled. And we were standing close, but I absolutely would have remembered you trying to kiss me.’
He looks up at the ceiling and smiles, closing his eyes as if he’s asking for divine guidance. When he looks back at you he seems older, wiser, and more resolved.
‘No, I had my hand resting on your jaw and leaned in. Then you started talking incredibly fast about remembering to face center stage during my monologue and I took that as my queue you weren’t interested.’
‘Oh.’ You laugh to yourself. Has he honestly been just as into me for weeks and I didn’t see it? ‘I figured you were just being nice. You’re really interested in me?’
Once your initial confusion and surprise have passed you get back to the important point at hand. ‘But you live in LA and I live here. I’m older than you.’
Now that you’ve started talking it once again doesn’t feel like you can stop. ‘And I probably make more money, which bothers a lot of men. I’m a morning person and you’re a night owl. And-’
In one smooth motion he lifts his free hand to cup your face and kisses you, cutting you off. He swallows your noise of surprise and works his lips against yours in earnest, his thumb massaging the skin behind your ear.
After a beat your surprise fades and you melt into him. You’d forgotten how amazing kissing someone is when it’s for real and not on the stage.
Then again, you’ve been kissing him for weeks as Fanny Price and he tastes just as true and wonderful as he always does. The way his hand slides up to hold your thigh, however, is definitely not something he’d ever be able to do as Mr. Crawford.
You lean forward and fist a hand in the shirt at his chest, tugging him closer. He smiles into the kiss and you feel his rumble of laughter.
When he’s not being professional as an actor he certainly kisses like he means it. On stage the kisses are prim and proper. Five seconds, timed to perfection. Smudge-proof lip stain, for both of you.
But now that you’re alone he kisses like an earthquake, steady and powerful, decimating your doubt and asking entrance into your heart.
When you pull back, what feels like a second an an eternity later simultaneously, you’re both breathing heavily. He gives you another megawatt smile and you lift your finger to stroke down his neck, in awe of him and the fact that you missed, well, all of this.
‘Does that help your concerns?’ he asked, smug and pleased.
You laugh and kiss his cheek. ‘We’ve got a lot of practical details to sort out. But for now, yes, it does.’
He nods, seemingly unable to stop smiling. ‘Good. About time, too. I’ve been flirting with you for ages.’
‘Well, loverboy. Make good use of those flirting skills and get over here and kiss me some more.’
He laughs and reaches for his wallet, looking for the waitress. When he makes eye contact with her he turns back to you and winks. ‘Let’s go to my place. I want to kiss you in a way that’s far too inappropriate for how much you hate PDA.’
You shake your head in amusement at how well he knows you. ‘Deal.’

AH bless// Her name is Katy! ✨She's a tiny lil librarian who loves to dance & travel; adores the sea & stars! Always cheery, polite & full of wonder! A soft, happy & hopeful heart; curious & full of wonder! Dances ballet, but will sway to any tune & would adore a dance partner!! She really loves collecting tea sets, reading, sitting in/steering a lovely lil gondola over calm waters. Doesn't like being caught in big n rowdy crowds at all. She's demi romantic, leaning towards men! Part 5 please!
hey jowan!! hmmm
I match Katy with
Bruno! ((and sdbsa just to clarify, I did not say this because I made Bucci a library science grad student in my college!au))
Bruno has a pretty rough day-to-day because of his status in Passione, so I think he’d be super entranced by Katy. I think he’d find her cheeriness, sense of wonder, hopefulness and happiness to be infectious! Bucci is very kindhearted, so people who are rude strike a very bad chord with him, so Katy’s manners and graciousness are a relief to him, to say the least.
He didn’t get to finish school, however, and while Bruno isn’t by any means stupid, he’s always up for learning something new. Being with Katy is a treat in and of itself, but he’s happy knowing that with a few choice words, he can get his favorite librarian to talk a storm up about just anything. Bucci knows that school is tough as it is and understands just how much schooling is involved in beocming a librarian, so saying he’s impressed with Katy’s scholarly achievements is an understatement, to say the least! He’ll gladly make a few additions to her tea set collections as well! And as for reading? Usually he’s much too tired at the end of the day to consider using any more braining to read something, but he wouldn’t mind resting his eyes a bit while Katy reads. He might even ask her to read aloud to him while he relaxes beside her.
He has to be out and about for work most of the time, so I think he’d be okay with Katy’s gravitation to quieter and calmer spots. Bucci would definitely take this as an opportunity to take her out on a boat or even just a beach somewhere. He likes the open water and would love to look at it with her by his side.
As for dancing? He’s a little embarrassed to admit it, but he just hasn’t had time to do anything fun, especially dancing, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t learn how to just for Katy! She might catch him trying to teach himself a few simple steps in private...
#matchups#jowanoodles#bucci is good boi#yes indeed#bruno bucciarati#matchups 200#follower milestone#heeehee#thank u for letting me match her up with someone!!

november 21
push to talk by @alexjosten [requested by @nikothespoonklepto]
see which other fics i’m reviewing this month! / my review request post!
this is a delightfully engaging fic based on the game firewatch that follows neil as he spends a summer as a fire lookout, isolated except for radio communication with andrew, a fire lookout in the adjacent sector of the park. this is such an intense, fun, beautiful, and humorous fic.
i remember enjoying this so much as it came out, eagerly awaiting each new chapter. you drew me in so easily and deeply that i watched a whole playthrough of this game. i can fully appreciate how well you were able to translate the plot, gameplay, interactions between characters, and the stunning visuals so so seamlessly and have it aftg so well.
some parts that stood out to me:
”dusk settles on the trees like clay powder, dusting the evergreens with a red tint” woah this is such a gorgeous way of starting off this fic.
”the moon extends her helping hand to guide him out into a clearing. here, neil can see. but also, he can be seen” i love these descriptions, and our introduction to neil.
”he ignores his sleeping bag and the strict instructions to camp at nightfall and continue during the day” ah yes, Neil I Do What I Want Josten strikes again, with little regard for what people tell him to do
”if he’s not careful, the black dirt beneath his feet could bleed crimson. the exact combination of colours he came out here to avoid” this is stunning. i am immediately drawn into this fic, wanting to know what or who exactly neil is running from, and where he’s going
”buttermilk rays whisk the shadows of leaves into a dance on the forest floor beneath his feet” !! buttermilk?? somehow that works so so well
”the irony of calling it that in his head isn’t lost on him, and he vows to avoid that comparison again” what a subtle detail, but so telling! i am pretty bad with reading tags a lot of the time, so this was a great introduction to raven!neil
”it’s as exposing as it is freeing. he can’t feel trapped when he can see for miles every way he turns” wow it’s still so early in the fic, but you’ve already done an exceptional job at justifying neil choosing to come here, to escape.
foxtrot tower is such a cute name! i love that it’s not something directly taken from the books, this name seems to fit this au so well. i know that you likely had the game as reference for the tower, but i really liked the way you describe it, you were able to establish the same tone that exists in the game, but you did it through words instead of visuals and audio, something that really impresses me
”glad to hear you’re literate enough to have read the dossier” ohmygoodness ANDREW
”andrew’s tone is playful. neil thinks it might even be flirtatious, but he doesn’t care enough right now to find out” as much as i enjoy oblivious!neil, i appreciate that this version of neil is more aware, he seems more in tune with things around him. it fits better with this story, with the isolation and only communication being through the radio
”the sky slips into a more comfortable pink, the sun laying down to rest amongst the mountains” am i ever going to get over your descriptions of the environment? i don’t think so
of course neil goes for a run, basically right after doing a super intense two day hike in one day
”andrew sounds agitated” I LOVE THIS
oh dang, neil’s panic is so sudden, i’m so immersed that i immediately felt nervous too
”it’s our job to watch the horizon, neil. it’s not my fault you’re on mine” oh this is so good
”neil doesn’t believe in coincidences. he believes in traps and ill intentions, because that’s all his life has been until now” it’s honestly amazing how quickly the atmosphere of this fic has turned to something a little bit darker, kind of scary. we know neil as a runner, but the idea of someone finding him so soon and trying to lure him out? gives me chills
“he doesn’t realise his hands are shaking until he struggles to press the push-to-talk button” PUSH TO TALK I AM SO FOND OF FICS THAT INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE FIC IN THEIR FIC. also shaky hands are my kryptonite
”he also takes the cleaver from the kitchen counter” NEIL I- I AM SPEECHLESS
”a small sensible part of his brain tries to convince him that there are much easier ways to kill him than leading him out in the middle of nowhere, in a forest that he told nobody from his past life that he would be living in, where he uses a new name that nobody knows” !! good to hear that neil has a sensible part of his brain LOL
”but underestimating his enemies and their taste for dramatics would be a mistake” neil of all people does have a good reason for being paranoid. i love that you have this separated as a different paragraph, i read it differently because of it and i think that it adds more gravity to the sentence
”there, he finds a lipstick-red tent, zipper teeth yawning open to reveal two pink sleeping bag tongues” the imagery!!! incredible
”he feels like a walking timebomb” yeah i am definitely nervous for neil
”’girls don’t do it for you?’ andrew’s curiosity has a hopeful slant” OHMYGOODNESS ANDREW
”andrew’s voice is a firm, solid reassurance” bless andrew
”neil never thought he’d be relieved to meet someone who didn’t like exy” i also never thought that. neil you are a changed man
ooh the backstory to the fireworks is so good! i was also thinking it was a little out of character, but this is the perfect reason that renee would let it slide!
”the stars are withering in the purpling sky” i could cry because i love your writing so much
A MAN I AM FREAKING OUT. WHO IS HE
the easygoing banter between andrew and neil is so great, their conversation is interesting and flows really well
”he’s almost home” it amazes me and really shows something about this version of neil that he’s so quick to call this tower his home
”i know i needed to do this, but i am not sure i am ready to be so alone” woah break my heart why don’t you? this hits really close to home,, how dare you make me feel emotions
”i usually take a more straightforward approach” andrew never lies, but this is the truest thing he has ever said
”they’ll probably never meet, because neil intends on spending the rest of his summer without meeting another soul, andrew included” hmmm why do i have the sneaking suspicion that this will not be the case?
”neil’s not sure what grindr is but his face heats up all the same” this sentence is a MOOD (except i do know what grindr is)
”andrew’s response is sharp like a blade. ‘why? because one of the girls called you scarface?’ neil feels himself flinch” hhh i am secretly a very big fan of scenes that include neil’s scars, so you got me here
”andrew keeps neil company on the hour hike up to the north of his sector, but his usual commentary seems a bit strained today” uhH what’s going on, i’m getting scared
DID ANDREW BRING NEIL OVER JUST SO HE CAN SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE?
ohmygoodness, neil leaving andrew pictures and a sweatshirt? so so so cute
”he imagines the fear they felt when they saw him holding it wasn’t too unlike the fear that used to paralyse him when his father, or lola, would threaten him back home” woah this is good
i would bet that allison was the one to write that letter haha i can imagine that renee is likely kind of shaken by the incident, otherwise she might not have let allison leave it behind
andrew is such a good companion for neil, calming him both by his presence and by logically explaining what could have happened to the tent. he’s an anchor
”he feels like the cleaver he had attempted to defend himself with on his first day now carries a foreboding aura” YEAH I’M GETTING PRETTY NERVOUS TOO
WAIT NATHAN IS DEAD? THANK GOODNESS
woah so interesting to learn about neil’s backstory and his reason for not going pro “his offers to join pro teams curled up like dead leaves in a fire” dang, referencing both his burns and his new job? so good
ANDREW MINYARD IMITATING A VALLEY GIRL I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE PLEASE
oo that subtle way of mentioning andrew’s memory
i am so emotional, andrew is just so so good. makes me feel all the feelings ;-;
”andrew sounds like a bristled up cat tail” CUTE!!
i am dying to know what is going on in andrew’s head, during this conversation, when he left his tower to see neil, and really, just throughout this whole fic
woah i really like the way that you had neil describe his asexuality. it’s something that i recognize in myself and i like the way that you handled it.
>:C
them drawing each other?? peak cute. i want that to happen to me (have someone who doesn’t know what i look like try and draw me)
”neil waits for him to say more. he doesn’t. oh. that’s why. ‘heh’” LOLOL
you know what, i actually,,, only recognized the name draco malfoy LOL
ANDREW PRETENDING THAT HE DOESN’T ACTUALLY KNOW AARON OH MY GOODNESS. I CANNOT BELIEVE HE PRETENDED TO GET HIS NAME WRONG. “i look like him. but hotter and better dressed” ANDREW HOW GOOD TO YOU DRESS YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST. this whole section is hilarious and really helps lighten the tone and keep things playful
”’why would i wear that?’ andrew’s response is too quick and defensive” *unintelligible screaming*
ANDREW DRAWING NEIL IN TINY RUNNING SHORTS. THIS! MAN! I CAN’T HANDLE HIM
”neil gets into the routine of falling asleep next to his radio, talking to andrew deep into the night, far past his ability to keep his eyes open. they take turns drifting off mid conversation…” this is the softest thing ever
”considering neil’s job is to prevent forest fires, there’s a certain irony in how beautiful the park is when painted the colours of flames” oh (like a good oh)
ANDREW REJECTING NEIL REALLY JUST BROKE MY HEART WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME
”his heart tumbles from his chest and falls to the bottom of the ravine. he doesn’t understand why it was so close to the railings of his ribcage in the first place” this is so so beautiful even though it’s describing something so sad. makes me feel achy
drunk andrew. how is it that you, alexjosten, seem to know everything that i love in a fic?
”neil’s cabin floods with light. how real is neil josten without nathaniel wesninski filling his shell? with a snap, it’s gone.” uh this is so incredible, i love how you split everything up into its own paragraph, their conversation so similar to the storm. ugh i can’t get enough
”still, neil feels the change: the undeniable part of him where his branches have been torn asunder and his bark has been scorched away to expose his core” every time i think that this sentence is the best, and every time you blow me away again. i can’t describe how this sentence makes me feel
the scene of neil rescuing allison and renee fills me with adrenaline, it’s so intense
having the girls recognize neil was like being trapped in a nightmare, there was nothing i could do but read on and see how it ends. dajsflks. but also i really hope that neil got back his jacket and sweater lol
WHAT IN THE WORLD NEIL HAVING TO PLAY A GAME ON CODEINE, RIKO TRYING TO KILL NEIL ON TV, THIS IS SO INTENSE. also, i love what you’ve done with this
dang, how does andrew know kevin?
andrew’s gifts for neil are so cute. i am here just freaking out!!!!
A PUFFBALL DANDELION
“you sweet, sheltered city child” oh my goodness adorable
”you’re going to go nuts when i tell you what a caterpillar turns into” ANDREW
THE BEAR. THE JUMP
honestly, i’m a little surprised that neil wasn’t supplied with bear spray
”’andrew, i don’t think they’re coming for me.’ ‘of course they’re not.’ neil’s heart sinks. ‘they’re not?’ ‘i am’” KFAJSDFJPOJAFD THIS GLORIOUS INTERACTION WILL FOREVER BE WITH ME
THEM TRAVELLING AND EVERYTHING WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE BECAUSE OF THE DARK. ALSO ANDREW BEING SUPER BUFF AND PICKING NEIL UP NO BIG DEAL
”we had your face on a dart board in the break room” AHHHH
”the only consolation is it smells of the andrew who just walked two hours to rescue him from the side of a cliff, and then spent another two hours carrying him here” i don’t even know what to say
wait andrew knew who neil was the whole time oh my goodness
THE GAME IS ANIMAL CROSSING. this is now and forevermore considered canon!
ANDREW DROPPING THE GAME HE’S SO TIRED. ANDREW MY BABY
ANDREW’S DRAWING OF NEIL
”half of andrew’s sandwich is in his mouth, and he kind of looks like a hamster” adorable!
okay okay jean and jeremy being the two trading letters? so so good.
THE ENDING WITH ANDREW TELLING STORIES ABOUT NEIL BEING DEAD
the last chapter was amazing, i loved the way that you wrote the interactions between andrew and neil, they fit so well together. i also appreciate that you deviated from the game and had them meet! it is infinitely more satisfying. this was such an easy fic to read, everything felt right. i love your characterization of both of them. to have andrew treat neil the way that he did, knowing who neil was? amazing
also, can i just say that the moodboards that you include at the beginning of each chapter are amazing? they really helped with establishing the tone of the fic.
this fic is so intense, i was constantly amazed by how i was so fully immersed in it. everything that neil felt, i felt. your descriptions were gorgeous and i could not get enough of them. there were so many small details, sentences that were pure gems, that rereading this was just as, if not more, enjoyable than the first time. i really cannot put to words how much i loved reading this. thank you so so much for writing it!

The Shaman’s Choice Ch. 3
Pairing Alpha!Sam x Omega!Reader
Characters of the series include: Alpha!Dean x Omega!Jo, reader’s parents, Reader’s grandmother, Reader’s brothers (Darren OC & Michael OC), Mary, Jack, Apocalypse Archangel!Michael
Chapter 3:
@spnkinkbingo square filled (Cock warming)
@spnabobingo square filled (Rose/lemon/pine)
@samwinchesterbingo square filled (huddle for warmth)
Word Count: 1904
Summary: So this is an SPN fic, but contains a lot of wild AU ideas. Bear with me while the story unfolds, and enjoy it.
Warnings for all chapters just in case: MATURE 18+ READERS ONLY! smut, sex, unprotected sex, abo dynamics, knotting, mating bites, claiming, oral, shower sex, sibling arguments, swearing, violence, mentions of brother in love with sister (unhealthy obsession, jealousy)
“You marked me?” Sam mused as they lay there.
YN blushed and lowered her lashes. “I…forgive me Alpha, I meant no disrespect. I just felt like I needed to. I can’t explain it, Sam. And besides, no every Omega out there will know you’re mine.”
Sam chuckled. “Minx.”
“Yeah I am. But I’m your minx. Only yours.” She breathed.
“Damn right, Omega. You Are Mine!”
They mated once more before nodding off, Sam’s knot still buried deep in his Omega. He never realized till now what he’d been missing, and now he never wanted it to end. He hoped one day to earn her full trust, then she might finally tell him what was bothering her. True they had only just met, but he knew she was keeping something from him. YN hadn’t directly implied anything was wrong, but he could see it, he could feel it emanating from her. The only thing he was 100% certain of was the issues weren’t related to his lovemaking, if her responses were any indication.
Morning came and sunlight peeked through the curtains and onto the bed. YN woke first, smiling as she felt Sam’s cock still inside, and it was hard. She made the mistake of trying to slip out of bed without waking him. It didn’t work.
He nuzzled the back of her neck. “Morning.”
She leaned back into his strong embrace. “Morning.”
Sam thrust into her. “Going somewhere, Omega?”
YN shrugged. “I was going to surprise you with breakfast Sam. We haven’t eaten much since yesterday.”
Sam licked her earlobe as he thrust his cock into her again. “Food sounds great, but…” he pumped again, “we have something more pressing to take care of first.”
She giggled. “I gotta ask, why were you inside me all night? Not that I’m complaining or anything. Just mildly curious.”
His pelvis rocked forward, pounding his erection in and out of her 3 more times, and was rewarded with YN’s climax coating his cock with her juices. “Because I happen to like being inside you. And I get the added bonus of keeping warm while I sleep.” He laughed as he finished the last sentence, amused even further when YN joined in.
“Hmmm.” She mused. “If you continue that, I may have to start charging you rent.”
Sam nipped at her neck in response. “I see. Tell me, Omega, what would I be paying?”
She smirked. “Evening sex, morning sex, shower sex, oral, fingering, mating. All with me and no one else.”
The bed shook as he roared with amusement. “That’s a pretty hefty fee. But,” he ground into her again, “I think it can work.”
With that he pushed her onto her stomach, then pulled her hips up to meet his. His pace was brutal, intense, and YN’s body shuddered as numerous orgasms hit her all at once. Every thrust hit her sweet spot. Then his knot began to swell, and he screamed her name as his load filled her belly once more. The couple then gently went back to their original spoon position to give the knot time to shrink.
When they were finally able to move, YN excused herself and threw on some sweats and a tee. There was cum soaking into the pants, but they needed washing anyways. In 30 minutes, Sam was sitting down to eggs, bacon, hash browns, and coffee. YN made tea for herself before sitting beside her Alpha. The room was silent for the entire meal as Sam shoveled food in fast, as though it were his last meal. YN found herself famished as well, both had worked up quite the appetite in the last 12 hours.
Once they were full, Sam helped clean up the dishes, then both made their way to the shower. The couple spent a copious amount of time ‘cleaning up’, but eventually finished dressing, then made their way to the living room. There they began to make a list of things they needed to do for her transition from apartment to bunker.
About halfway through the list, a knock sounded at the door. Sam looked up. “Don’t worry, it’s just Dean, and he brought Jo.”
YN went to unlock the door, and was greeted by a beautiful blonde woman, with a gigantic hug. “Oh, I’m so happy for you both! Hi, I’m Jo.” She held her hand out after releasing YN from the hug.
YN immediately decided she liked Jo. “Nice to meet you. I’m YN.”
Another hug and an excited squeal hit before she bounded over to Sam for his congratulations hug. YN watched the family interact, after a hug from Dean, hoping her family would be this accepting.
The cell in YN’s pocket vibrated, and she groaned when she saw the call ID.
“Hi mom.” She said, holding the phone away as shouts and questions came all at once. It was on speaker, with both her parents, and her brothers.
“What’s this I hear about you and some Alpha?” her father started. “Where is he? We’re coming over there right now!”
“Wait…” Too late, the line went dead. YN silently cursed cell phones and turned to her new family. “Well, my parents are on their way over.”
“Fun.” This from Dean. “Want Jo and I to vacate?”
YN shook her head. “No, god no! if there are others present, then they will be more civil. Jo, would you like to help me do some baking? Dean, can you and Sam start packing my stuff please?”
The two alphas nodded, and headed toward the bedroom, while Jo and YN went to the kitchen and soon the apartment was filled with the aroma of chocolate chip cookies. True to their word, YN’s parents were pounding on their daughter’s door in no time. YN invited them in and offered refreshments. Introductions were made once everyone had taken a seat.
“Mom, Dad, this is Sam Winchester, my Maritus. This,” she gestured toward Dean and Jo, “is Sam’s older brother Dean, and his Omega, Jo.”
Then she reversed. “Sam, Dean, Jo, these are my parents, Mr. & Mrs. (Parents’ names).”
Surprisingly, her mom and dad greeted Sam warmly, then did the same with Dean and Jo. It was (Mom’s name) that noticed the surprised expression on YN’s face.
“We aren’t mad, YN, if that’s what you thought. We were just a bit shocked that the news came from Michael, and not from you. From the description of the events your brother relayed, I expected to meet a monster, not this nice young man beside you.”
YN gently squeezed Sam’s hand, noting that he had relaxed upon hearing the compliment. (Father’s name) spoke up next, addressing the Alpha in question directly.
“Sam, is it? You seem like a fine strong Alpha, but before I give you my blessing, I need to ask you a question. Your answer will determine if your feelings for my daughter are true, and how far you would go to ensure her well-being. Think carefully before you answer.”
Sam nodded. “Ask away.”
The room went quiet. “How much do you love YN?”
Sam blinked. “Sir, never in my life have I felt this kind of love. YN brings out the best side of me, and for the first time, my life feels complete. I would give my life to protect her.”
(Father’s name) stood and motioned for Sam to do the same. The remaining 4 people in the room held their breath in anticipation. The two Alphas stared at each other for what seemed like ages, then YN’s dad smiled, and reached into his pocket for the family crest ring. “Welcome to the family Sam. While we still expect an actual wedding, this ring will signify to all that I approve of this union.”
Sam’s smile lit up the room as he hugged his new father-in-law, followed by his new mother-in-law. YN leapt into Sam’s arms, kissing her Alpha with gusto.
Sam spoke to YN’s dad when things had settled. “Thank you, sir, and I meant every single word I said earlier.”
“I know you did son, otherwise I wouldn’t have approved.”
Dean pulled (father’s name) aside quietly as the rest went to sample the cookies and iced tea that YN and Jo had whipped up. Soon all six were talking and learning more about each other. Three hours and too many cookies later, YN’s parents bid farewell, leaving the others to pack up her things. The ordered pizza and, by 1:00am, everything was ready to go.
Dean and Jo stayed the night, using the fold out bed YN had, while the newly mated couple went to the bedroom. The whole apartment sounded much like an orgy party, as echoes of pants, moans climactic screams, grunts, and ball slapping filled the living area. In the early morning, two satisfied Alphas and two satisfied Omegas were sitting to a rather scrumptious meal of flapjacks, hash brown patties, sausages and scrambled eggs. Two pots of coffee later, the boxes were ready for transport, the two couples were exhausted, and the loading truck arrived with Cas, Jack, and Mary. The three newcomers all greeted YN with warmth and immediately took a shine to the young Omega. They packed the truck and YN was on her way to her new home.
The first week took some getting used to, but her new family were very accommodating, so the adjustment was fairly easy. Sam and YN spent near all of the first two days mating, as their heat/rut were still strong. YN was pretty sure that was the whole soulmate thing, but she still needed to research that more. Soulmates were rare, even more rare than the Signum Flaminis being given to, or appearing to an Omega.
It was three weeks to the day when the first signs appeared. YN woke feeling off, then made a beeline for the nearest toilet. Once she had voided her stomach contents into the porcelain bowl, she mentally scanned her body for a cause. She had never been sick in her life. She found double surprises when she discovered she was carrying pups, two of them. Holy shit! Her eyes widened with the realization. Scrambling off the floor and down the hall, she ran straight to her Alpha, nearly spilling his coffee.
“YN? What…?”
He never got a chance to finish. “Sam, we’re pregnant!”
The entire bunker was echoing as Sam let out a loud “Whoop!!” and kissed his Omega. Well wishes came from all, but none more thrilled than the expectant parents. YN put in a call to her own parents, not giving details, but asking if she and Sam could come by for a visit. (Mom & Dad) were happy to hear from their daughter, and even more thrilled to have them visit.

Bask (RWBY AU Snippet)
Note: This is set prior to Dragon-Rider.
X X X
A normal person would have taken one look at the massive golden dragon sprawled onto its back and run away as quickly and quietly as they could. Ruby was not a normal person.
“Come on!” Ruby growled, walking over to the dragon and giving her a stout kick in the flank. Of course, all this achieved was stubbing Ruby’s toe. The dragon, whose scales could easily withstand all but the most potent of spells, simply opened one lilac eye and snickered. “Ouch! Stop laughing!”
The dragon chortled unrepentantly, and Ruby’s eyes narrowed before she gave her another mighty kick with her other foot.
“Ouch!” Ruby tumbled to the ground and clutched at both of her feet. Even with boots on, kicking the dragon had not been a good idea. It had been like kicking metal. “Oh, be quiet. We’re supposed to be practicing for the tournament, Yang. Instead, you’re lazing about in the sun.”
Lazing about? I’m a solar dragon, Ruby. I draw power from the sun. What looks like lazing about in the sun to you is actually an important part of my day. I’m harvesting power from the sun, so I can operate at full strength.
Ruby eyed her sister sceptically. “No. I do not believe you. You might be a solar dragon, but you don’t have to be in your dragon form to absorb energy. You can just absorb energy in your human form.”
Would you believe if I said surface area matters?
“Nope.” Ruby shook her head. “Dad never mentioned anything about that, and he’s a solar dragon too. He always said that just being in the sun was enough, regardless of what form he was in. He also said he didn’t need to spend more than an hour or two out in the sun a day.” Ruby scowled. “You’ve been basking on this hillside for half the day, Yang.”
I’m a growing dragon-blessed. Yang rolled over. I need more time in the sun.
“You’re just lazy!” Ruby countered. She stumbled to her feet. Instead of giving her sister a kick, she grabbed a stick and jabbed it into Yang’s scales. The stick broke. She was tempted to use the dagger at her waist, but she’d just break that too. Solar dragons were amongst the most durable of all dragons. Yang could take a ballista bolt to the chest without slowing down in her dragon form, and anything less than a magically-enhanced boulder wouldn’t even get her attention. “Come on! We need to practice! Velvet and Coco will be participating in this tournament, and you know they’re strong!”
Yang shifted her head to peer at Ruby. Velvet and Coco?
“Yeah, dad said they would be entering.”
Yang sat up. I guess we should practice.
Ruby grinned. Velvet was a changeling dragon, a dragon capable of temporarily assuming the forms and characteristics of other dragons she had encountered. She was never quite as strong as the originals, but the ability gave her a huge amount of versatility. For instance, her solar dragon form would never be able to match Yang’s, but the last time they’d fought, Velvet had taken on the form of a tidal dragon. Consider the bout had been held over the ocean, Yang had suddenly found herself being attacked by absolutely colossal quantities of water. Had Ruby been with her, she could still have evaded the attacks and overwhelmed Velvet, but the two dragon-blessed had been sparring, and Yang had been forced to concede the bout.
“Coco is pretty good too,” Ruby said.
The older dragon-rider’s magic allowed her to increase the overall ability and power of the dragon-blessed she was riding, which eliminated the main weakness inherent to changeling dragons. The pair were thus perfect for one another, and they had already won several tournaments although their last tournament had ended in a loss.
If the rumours were to be believed, they had faced Pyrrha Nikos, a dragon-blessed who had won multiple tournaments without a dragon-rider. No one really knew exactly what kind of dragon she was, but she was supposed to have gleaming, red metallic scales and to have outstanding speed, strength, agility, and durability. Yang had wanted to face her for ages, but their duties fighting off the Grimm meant that a trip to Mistral was out of the question for the time being.
What practice are we doing today? Yang sat up onto her haunches and flared her wings carefully. Instead of being hurled away by hurricane-force winds, Ruby merely stumbled back a few steps.
“Well, we need to work on your breath attacks a bit. Velvet is fast and agile, no matter what form she takes, but your breath attack can move faster than any dragon.”
Yang grinned toothily. Sounds fun.
X X X
The firing range was a devastated plain of scorched rock and mangled stone. It had been left in ruins after a colossal battle between twelve dragon-blessed and their dragon-riders against a horde of Grimm, many of them airborne. Ever since, it had been use as an area for dragon-blessed to hone their breath attacks since those were usually too destructive to be used freely elsewhere.
As a solar dragon, Yang had three main types of breath attacks. The one that had always come most easily to her was fire. A single sharp burst of breath produced a short, compact bolt of flame that detonated on impact. A longer, more drawn-out breath created a cloud or torrent of fire. Each had their place, and Ruby watched from atop Yang’s back with a special pair of goggles on to protect her eyes from the glare. Yang, of course, could peer right into the flames without blinking.
“Hmmm… let’s cue up some targets,” Ruby said. Using a bit of magic, she set several rocks into motion, flinging them far away.
Easy. Yang fired four times in quick succession, and each rock was obliterated in an explosion of flame.
“Yeah, but fire has always come more easily to you. Try light next.”
A solar dragon could also spew beams of light. Yang had always found that more difficult. Fire had an easy enough mental switch to use. All she had to do was thinking about the damage the Grimm had done, and her flame would rush to answer her call. Light required a more subtle touch. It drew off the protective instincts she possessed.
Unlike flame, the light she spewed was absolutely abysmal at engaging multiple targets. What it could do, however, was travel at far greater speed and strike with much greater piercing power. She’d used it on heavily armoured airborne Grimm, and she’d yet to meet one whose armour it couldn’t pierce.
Instead of throwing rocks, she and Ruby took to the air. They had marked out targets before, and as Yang flew past, she unleashed her light. The beams dug out narrow, thin furrows in the rock, and she frowned. Her aim with her light still wasn’t as good. Despite not carrying a lot of explosive force, the recoil when using it was quite large. It made firing multiple shots from her mouth in quick succession very difficult.
“Hmm… we need to work on that.” Ruby studied the pattern of strikes on the ground thoughtfully. “I doubt you’ll be able to hit Velvet with fire unless she makes a mistake, but light should work. Okay, let’s try the last one.”
Weaving light and fire together was a special gift for solar dragons. It created a breath attack that had the properties of both: the extreme speed and piercing power of light combined with the explosive force and potential for explosions of fire. Yang had only recently unlocked the ability, and her aim was less than stellar.
“Let me just strap myself in first,” Ruby warned.
Really?
“Well, you did almost blow up part of the academy last time you did this, so…”
Oh, be quiet.
Yang drew her head back. The combination of fire and light required a mixture of rage and protectiveness, a sensation at once familiar and utterly foreign. She fought to grasp the sensation and then called upon her power. The resulting beam of radiant devastation carved out a massive trench, leaving an entire swathe of the landscape engulfed in fire as the ground became a swamp of molten rock.
It was also not where Yang had been aiming.
“On the upside,” Ruby said. “At least it’s not like this place can look any worse, right?”

Z, P, W, M, N, L
Hello, anon, I am back from sleep kingdom!!
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
You sure this is the first question you’d like to ask? You might open a water gate for some seijou rant!! No kidding, where is my children in the series!! I know they are not the protagonists and the seijou arc has already taken its place in the story for any development purposes. But is an OVA too much of an ask? Or just a brief appearance of what my third years babies are doing? I miss them so much. The best thing is that I still have the fandom and there are people love these leaf babies just as much as I do!!
But really, Seijou OVA? I mean if the production team don’t have new idea for a short episode, the extra chapter certainly would do good (would do fantastic and make me cry like a baby please make me bawl.)
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
Ahhhhh AUs, we always need more AU’s for any fandom! And since I am very biased, all my AUs turn into an iwaoi AU at last. Here’s one for you:
There’s a traveling Instagram account suddenly gets a lot of people’s attention. It’s like most of the traveling account where the owners travel to a lot of countries and share beautiful photos on their trip.
It could be the good look of the blogger or the aesthetic photos he takes that people start paying attention to the blog. Some fans even dig deep enough to know the photographer’s name is Iwaizumi Hajime. Iwa updates very often, snips of his trip on Instagram four or five times a day. He gets quite a few (well, many) followers in a short time and is dubbed “your vagabond lover” among his fans because Iwa tends to leave messages such as “Did you see this dog? I’d love to cuddle you but I need to hug it first.” on a dog picture or “What do you think? You’d fall in love with this instead of me really.” on a scenery photo like he’s talking to a lover. He also ends everyday with a picture of himself, may it be a selfie or a candid photo taken by a friend, saying good night or good day.
There’s a follower who always leaves long message below Iwa’s post. It’s usually a short story that matches the picture or their thoughts or what they feel about the photo. Their words work so well with Iwa’s photo that more people follow Iwa’s Instagram account for both their sakes.
One day, without any notification, Iwa suddenly disappears for a long time without posting anything. Then after two days he resurfaces with a dim selfie of himself in a hospital room, smiling so bright to lit the dark room. There’s someone in the bed besides him, sleeping peacefully and unaware of the camera. The caption says “I can’t wait to see the world with you.” The blog remains silent after that.
Followers are confused until a couple days later, the writer-follower appears and writes a story about a boy and his lover, where the boy is diagnosed of serious illness and needs to take a risky surgery. The boy has a dream to see the world and is afraid he could never be able to after he learns about the surgery. His lover believes the boy can make it through no matter what but doesn’t want the boy to have any regret before taking the surgery so the lover suggests to go see the world for the boy. He travels to the places the boy wants to see, taking picture of the scenery and himself for the boy staying in a hospital room. The lover gets back before the surgery and sit through the whole time outside the surgery room. And to the lovers greatest joy, the boy makes it!
A month later, the blog becomes active again, starting with a selfie of Iwa and another handsome man, holding their hands to the camera, big smiles on their face, in an airport. The caption says “We are ready to go. Are you ready?”
(I am never ready for feeling overwhelmed by these two, is it silly that I get overwhelmed when I am the one writing about them? And well, this is more like a very short drabble instead of an AU prompt. I digress too much.)
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
Trope I’d virtually hate in any fandom hmmm… There are things that I hate seeing, such as cheating, abusive relationship and (in the case of same-sex pairing) homophobia between the pairings (they are definite no-no no matter what.) If I need to name one, I’d say over-used love triumph anything trope (is that even a thing?). Like people always forgive the other because they love the other person so much that no matter how unhealthy the relationship is or how badly the other treats them, they still want to be with that person. Or people having serious issue (mental issue or personal issue or such) and getting over it all of a sudden just because of love.
M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
There’re so many haha. I’d just randomly name one that isn’t Hajime.
I’d really like to have a friend like Kuroo, this nerdy boy is so cute, and kind and really smart. It’d be so much fun to hang out with him and it’d be easy. He seems really content to be perfectly quite and do your own things or go crazy with random mischief. (Come on, he’s bro with Bokuto and childhood friend with Kenma.)
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
Not angry and smiling Hajime!! This boy’s smile can bring world peace and the world would be blessed to get more of it. I also wish there’re more portrait of Hajime’s other character trait instead of the one he being done and annoyed by Oikawa or the meme duo. Please, this boy is a dork and childhood friend with Oikawa Tooru. They sass other people together all the time. Hajime is the one initiate all the didn’t get the serve over then treat us ramen thing. I want to see more mischievous, playful side of this boy. Let him have fun!!
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
I never like Hinata that much (I don’t dislike him that much, either) but he is really devoted and strong-willed. It’s not easy to have the world telling you you don’t suit for it but you still try every way to prove that you actually do.
More ship and fandom ask.
#i should be having lunch now#and maybe post that drabble thingy alone sometimes#thanks for asking#aunnoo ask box#anon#ask meme#iwaoi
