While the Iron Trio may have settled into a comfortable rhythm living together after the fall of Fittes, no one has been willing to break the unspoken agreement to seek anything more than a platonic relationship from their counterparts.
They just might go on dancing around each other forever, or at least until a certain disembodied Skull returns to prompt some more decisive action.

READ ON WATTPAD | AO3
PART ONE | TWO
You never settled your relationship with the summer season. To put it simply, it was a love and hate sort of thing; you liked that it was dry, and the air always felt like it was filtered and healthy even though you were well-aware of the current shit-state of the Earth's ozone layer. There were beams and sunlights and street vendors and people lying on the park's ground. Summer felt nostalgic, like the first time you bought a vinyl in highschool and listened to Fleetwood Mac in secret because your mom was certain they peddled cocaine and all sorts of illegal drugs, and with a highschool friend you no longer talk to, not because of a friendship-breaking betrayal but something more melancholic than that like drifting apart as you got older â the ambience, generally, was what you loved the most about it.
But regardless of those, summer got hot. Sure, you could forgo layers of clothing and it was always nice to lounge about in short bottoms and strapless tops and sandals, but at the end of the day, you needed to set your AC on the lowest temp, and it cranks up your monthly rent a greater percentage which causes a detrimental result to your monthly pay. (And you always had to reapply make-up every now and then whenever you went outside because if not, you'd be a sweating mess.)
In the grand scheme of things, though, there was nothing more than you disliked than Park Jimin, your best friend since college, asking you to be his plus-one on his mom's birthday dinner. For the second time.
âI told you, Jimin, Iâm not doing that anymore. Your mom called me fat and recommended a bunch of expensive skin care products to treat one single zit on the side of my forehead the last time you brought me there. I hid that with my bangs and she still saw it, like what the hell? The baked lasagna might have tasted good but Iâm not stepping one foot in your house ever again.â You spat out, rolling your eyes at your friend who just dramatically flopped himself on your bed.
âOkay, so Iâm really sorry about my mom. Sheâs aâŠâ He trailed off, looking at you with meaningful eyes that weighed words you knew he couldn't exactly say without feeling bad, and you sighed. Nodded in understanding. Jiminâs face contorted into a cringed expression at that. â... yeah. But! Please. I swear! This is the last time. I just really need you to be there. Theyâre setting me up with Heesu, okay? You know that snotty nepo baby of the Kang clan who owns Kang Tech?â
âJimin, youâre a nepo baby.â
He hit you with a pillow. âI am but I can earn a hundred thousand won without my familyâs money. They can cut my credit cards and I'll still be thriving.â
You broke the serious demeanor and laughed loudly at his seemingly confident claim.
âIâm sorry but you could not even get a job at a burger joint without some nepotism let alone have a hundred thousand without your dadâs credit cards. Bitch, youâre just lying.â
âFuck you. I was employee of the week at Seventh Street Burger.â He backfired, referring to that point in time in your sophomore year where you picked up a part time job during the summer at a burger joint and Jimin just decided to come along randomly. He got it because the owner knew of his dad.
âYeah, because Sowon had a crush on you?â You said, remembering the ownerâs daughter, who was also helping out at the store at that time. She was so smitten by Jimin you almost felt bad for her.
âOkay, fair, point taken. No need to be such a bitch about it,â Your best friend said with a dismissive wave of his hand, telling he was over it. You only laughed at that, boisterously, might you add, just to piss him off for no reason. Jimin deadpanned. âBut seriously. I think theyâre planning to marry me off to Heesu.â
Your face fell out of genuine concern this time.
âOh my god, really?â
Jimin once again cringed visibly. âYeah. I mean from a business lense it makes sense. But me marrying at 33? That makes me â like â a child groom.â
âOh⊠yeahâŠâ you trailed off, sympathizing with him. Not that you've ever been in the situation where your parents forced you in a sham marriage for their own wealth because there was no wealth to begin with. But you felt bad for Jimin. You always have, when it came to this particular subject.
You knew how it was with rich people, having known Jimin for almost half your life. It was true that arranged marriages were still a thing, and while Jimin seemed that he could pretty much do everything he wanted because of his free-spirited nature, his parents could still most likely make him marry someone he barely knew. Solely for business.
âUgh.â Jimin groaned. âShould I just come out at the dinner so they can stop linking me to women? Iâm gay as fuck, man. My cousin Park Youngdam would have a field day given that homophobic fucktard has been calling me the f word ever since he learned it in seventh grade.â
You shook your head, visibly cringing at his words. You didn't have family yourself. It was your mom who raised you alone for all your life, until she died five years ago. Didn't know any extended family. But frankly, you thought it was better that way than to deal with a complicated family like Jimin's.
âNah. I mean if youâre ready, well, do it. But like, your parents areâŠâ You two shared a look together again, and Jimin just slapped his palms over his face, indicating his doom. Your face twisted with another shot of deeper sympathy for him.
âThis is it for me. Theyâll marry me off to Kang Heesu and weâll fly to the US and live in Massachusetts to fulfill her white picket fence fantasy. Iâll be a miserable husband and she'll be an even more miserable wife because sheâll eventually find out Iâm gay. The neighbors will start talking and the white republicans will shun me out of the town church. Weâll have a surrogate baby andââ
âJimin, what the fuck!â You hit him hard on his arm as you couldn't keep a straight face anymore at his dramatic monologue. âYouâre not gonna marry Heesu and you won't live in fuckass Massachusetts and no oneâs gonna shun you out of the town church and you won't have a surrogate baby.â
âItâs a possibility.â Jimin shrugged.
âI feel like you're guilt-tripping me into agreeing to be your date again at your mom's birthday dinner and I think that's very evil of you.â You said, squinting your eyes at him.
âWell, duh? But also, Iâm really kind of lowkey highkey scared theyâll marry me off to someone now that Iâm pushing forty.â
"You're quite literally seven years away from forty." You countered.
He looked at you with an expression of I know right! And he told you so.
"That's what I said to mom and dad, but they're acting like my sperm will freeze next year. God, I can't stand them!"Â
Jimin, for all his jokes and unserious and bitchy behavior, was someone extremely important to you. Yeah, sure, he was rich as hell and he annoys you when he says something that reeks of too much nepotism but he was never intentionally snotty, never thinks he was better than everyone else (Jokes about how he thinks he has the fattest and juiciest ass in the world, though), and he wasn't at all like the rich people you've had the misfortune of interacting with at his mom's birthday party last year. He might be a self-proclaimed bitch but if you put him together with those people, he might as well be one of God's disciples.
For all his crass language and rather strong personality, Jimin was a doting friend who was there for you every single time. You could call him up at 3 am and heâd be at your door bringing Chinese take out and two tubs of ice cream, ready to hear you vent about your stupid job or a guy that you fumbled by being weird and off-putting because you didn't know how to handle a relationship. He was the kind of friend who would defend you in front of anyone else but will mercilessly tell you off and list down all points of your stupidity once you were in closed doors. He was the kind of friend that would ask you to be his pretend partner at a birthday dinner party, but he was your best friend ultimately and even if you had a big problem with his family and their extremely traditional (read: toxic) ways, you didn't want him to be pressured into coming out just so he could avoid to be engaged off to another random heiress. Didn't want him to do something he wasn't ready for. Didn't want him hurt or anything of the sort.
The last dinner wasn't even that bad, if you were to be honest. His parents were shitty, yeah sure, and the other guys in there that consisted of politicians and businessmen and people in the showbiz industry were something taken out of the toilet bowl for how stinky their elitist, better-than-you personalities were, but you both just totally forgot all about it by getting wasted at the local bar right after leaving. Not that his momâs words didn't sting a bit or didn't make you a little conscious, but at the end of the day, you weren't actually dating Jimin so you didn't care what his parents thought of you.
Additionally, you didn't have something planned for the next two weeks when the birthday would be happening. You were supposed to, but that ship has long sailed when you fumbled a date with the guy at the IT department. For the record, you didn't really like him that much and he talked too much about his job and while you didn't mind that, it was getting a little too tiring. If you wanted IT lessons you wouldâve majored in it in college. Still, Shin Taemu was handsome. And he wore those rounded glasses. Was tall. Had nice arms. Too bad he wanted to be the next Mark Zuckerberg. Fuck that guy.
âUgh, I don't know,â you groaned. âIt's just so disgusting to be your girlfriend, okay?â
Jimin audibly gasped. âHow dare you? A lot would jump on this ass.â He said with incredulity seeping through his voice, pointing to his bum.
You rolled your eyes. âNot me, obviously. Before you take offenseââ
âOffense taken.â
ââitâs just that you're like my cousin and when you call me honey I want to crawl out of my own skin.â
Jimin laughed at that while you looked miserable, remembering those moments from last year. Seriously, how could you have fooled anyone in that party that you were banging? You swore you looked like Ariana Grande and Troye Sivan in that one music video? (Jimin was the one who showed that meme to you, by the way.)
âSo I won't call you honey. Just babe.â
âEw.â You quickly retaliated.
âOhh, the homophobia is sho-wing.â Jimin sing-sang, ever the mature individual he was.
âFuck off, seriously.â
Jimin just giggled and then scooted closer to you. âNo but like, are you coming? âCause jokes aside, I'm just gonna find someone else if you really don't wanna do it. But you know you're always my first choice.â
âFirst choice when you do some stupid shit.â you countered, rolling your eyes for the nth time that night. Jimin would be the cause of your eye surgery if ever they got dislocated or something.
âThatâs my biggest act of love.â
âI don't want it.â
âIâll double what I paid you last year.â
âDouble it again and give it to the next person?â
Jimin flipped you off. âIâll give you my nintendo and Iâll get you a card at that coffee shop you love so much.â
That caught your attention. You raised your brow. âOn god?â
âWhen did I ever lie to you?â
You deadpanned. âWe won't finish this conversation if I list all the timesââ
âOkay, okay, point taken. But I'm really serious. Please, please, please, please be my pretend girlfriend on my mom's birthday party please, pleaseââ
âShut up. Ugh,â you could already feel the big smile creeping up Jiminâs face when you let out a big sigh. âOkay, Iâll do it. Buy me boba now.â
Jimin tackled you to the bed and hugged you and kissed your forehead.
âThank you! Best best friend ever.â he delightfully said, grinning widely, eyes almost disappearing in his triumph.
Your face contorted into a disgusted expression while Jimin just laughed as you pushed him so hard he almost fell off the bed.
âYou are a disgusting limpy sack of dicks! Also, Iâm not your best best friend, you don't have a wide selection. I'm your best friend. Period.â
âUnfortunately.â He waved you off and when you were about to retort something his phone suddenly rang. You watched quietly as he put it over his ear. âHey, you just landed?â
If it was a private conversation Jimin would've left the room but since he didn't, you decided to stay in bed, kind of listening in to the conversation, but also not, as you turned the volume down of the show you were watching earlier on your laptop.
âNah, you want me to pick you up?â Jimin sat up on the edge of the bed and you looked at him curiously. âSure, Iâm free, Kook. You have a place to stay? Hotel suite or something?â He nodded to whatever the other person was saying on the other line. âOh, you're here for three months? Thought you were just flying in for mom's birthday?â
It was moments after they said goodbye that Jimin turned to you to ask, âWell, my cousinâs apparently staying here for three months. Got this job thing going on.â
âIs that one of the non-problematic twenty percent cousin lineage of your very complicated family tree?" You asked, referring to him telling you one time that his family, including the extended ones, was eighty percent shitty and twenty percent decent.
Jimin chuckled at the inside joke. "Well, yeah, he's one of the good ones. Knows I'm gay."
"Oh, nice."
Jimin stood up from your bed. âIâll get you your boba and head off. Gotta pick cousin up or heâll start throwing tantrums at the airport.â
âAdd extra pearls please.â You told him, watching as he clicked away on his phone to get you your drink.
âI spoil you too much.â Jimin said, clicking his tongue, eyes still on his phone.
âWhat are you here for if not my glorified sugar daddy?â
âI will kill myself in front of you.â Jimin deadpanned, getting a chuckle out of you.
You didn't know the psychology â or if there even was psychology â behind feeling embarrassed when you were about to cross a path while carrying huge boxes. It was a normal task, and yet, it always felt like a huge walk of shame when you did it.
It was probably because you had to carry it over a flight of stairs, and there was no way you wouldn't trip on yourself carrying two heavy boxes in your hands that were already disrupting your vision.
Maybe it was your fault for choosing the pick-up option when you were checking out these furniture online, all because there was a huge increase on the fee for door-to-door delivery. For the record, there was a huge gap and the boxes were not really that heavy to the point you could not carry them both. It's just a lamp and a portable desk, you thought a week ago when you opted for the pick-up option, I could carry it all the way to the unit just fine â and obviously, your delusion has resulted to this very moment.
As soon as you managed to walk over five steps, you felt as if your oxygen supply just got cut back, panting like someone fresh from a marathon. Damn. You definitely needed to work out a little. Maybe do some squats for your New Yearâs resolution, commit to it for three days straight then forget about it for the next 362 days of the year.
You looked ahead of you and a string of curses let themselves out of your mouth automatically as you estimated the number of stairs you needed to get through to get to your apartment.
This day sucked! It was Sunday and you planned to wake up at five am to have a productive day but then you slept through your five alarms and woke up at eleven am instead. You ran out of eggs and you had to go to the convenience store to eat a sad meal of yogurt and kimbap. And now there were these boxes that you needed to carry over what seemed to look like six million of stairs. You weren't Sisyphus! And where were your goddamn neighbors when you needed them?
"You need help, ma'am?"
"Jesus Christâ" you turned to look to your right only to see a man who seemed to own the previous voice.
And Jesus Christ, indeed.
He was wearing a white shirt and some shorts, Nike sliders on his feet and a pair of headphones on. He was wearing glasses. And he had a tattoo sleeve.
What the fuck.
What the fuck!
It has been so long since you thought a man was crazily attractive. Okay, well sure, the guys from the IT department were something else (or you just had a weird eyeglasses fetish, Jimin once pointed out, that you still â to this day â vehemently try to deny) but youâve never been this taken aback by someoneâs face before.
The guyâs lips tilted a bit, some sort of greeting maybe, and you quickly looked away, embarrassed, fearing that he caught you looking at him longer than necessary.
Oh god. This was pathetic! He was a stranger! He was a man! He just had a cute face attached to a very good body with an arm full of tattoos and he was tall but you were sure he wasnât six feet two. Also, he had hair that looked fluffy from where you stood and a pair of eyeglasses but Jimin was just bluffing when he said you had a fetish for them. Right?
You were performing mental gymnastics until you realized he was asking a question.
"Oh! Uh, no, thank you. It's fine." You said, embarrassed at the way you almost jumped in surprise earlier.
But the whole thing was ridiculous. What, because there was a very fine man across from you the universe suddenly decided to fuck up your fate by making you be seen by that very man struggling with boxes all the way up to your unit? Couldn't it just have been on a day when you did your make-up and dressed up in that overpriced dress you bought hundred bad choices ago?
You fumbled with the boxes a little bit before continuing your way up, nevermind the guy whose response you didn't wait for because you needed to get the fuck away from him before you say something weird and off-putting.
Truthfully, you could use the help. But at what cost? A fine man carrying them? Okay, that wasnât so bad. But what were you supposed to do with... all of that?
As if the universe was indeed trying to prove to you that you were, in fact, not its favorite creation, you almost tripped. And the guy most definitely saw it.
Fuck.
You turned to the side to see him looking at you, concern etching his face. You wanted to convince yourself that it was genuine concern because you'd commit something that would totally change the trajectory of his life if he was to laugh.
But you thought his own unit must be way up as well, as he was going to the same path as you, and if that was the case, he must have been a new neighbor in the complex because you've never seen the man before.
âWell, itâs not that heavy butâŠâ you trailed off, looking blankly at the cardboard boxes. And then at him. "I could use some help, if you don't mind."
The guy just chuckled. Oh wow, his laugh was very... low.
You didnât even know what the fuck that meant.
âIâll get them for you.â He said, crossing the small distance between you and taking over the pile, leaving you with nothing in your hands.
âOh, no, Iâll have that one. Itâs fine.â You said, stepping closer to take the other one but he was already securing it in his hold, with stability this time, ready to take off.
He let out a small laugh again and you bit your tongue to not think about how cute he looked. If he was a new tenant, you hoped you didn't cross paths with him ever again.
"It's okay, ma'am."
He's got to stop calling you that before you do something drastic.
âItâs quite far from here, I'm all the way up to three-three-six.â You uttered, pointing forward, a few steps behind the guy, who hummed at what you said.
You quickly caught up to him. "Really, thanks for doing this."
"No problem, it's nothing." He said, smiling at you. Warm and kind. All cute. "I'm all the way up to four-four-six as well."
Your eyes widened. "No way, that's just across mine."
The stranger, apparently your neighbor now, grinned.
"Nice coincidence, huh?"
A sheepish smile formed on your lips. You didn't dwell on that comment too much. Knew it was just small talk.
"If you don't mind me asking, are you a new tenant here?â You asked out of genuine curiosity. You had never seen someone come out of the unit across from you out of all the four years you'd been here.
He nodded, agreeing with what you presumed.
"Yeah. Just temporary, though.â
âOhâŠâ A surprised sound. Maybe it was a good thing he was only staying temporarily... âI hope I didnât inconvenience you or anything. You really donât need to bring the boxes over to my apartment.â
The man just chuckled, dismissing your worry. âYou looked like you could use a hand, these boxes are big. Anyway, I was just out checking 'round town. Settling in.â
From the sound of it, you'd assume he was not only moving in in a new apartment complex, but new city as well. Perhaps country? But he most definitely looked Korean. But maybe he came from abroad. Who knows.
âYeah, there's a really nice coffee shop three blocks away. You should check it out sometime. Jiâmy friend and I are obsessed with their iced caramel macchiato. And the boba.â
His brows furrowed in pure interest. âThat must've been the one I passed by this morning. Iâll make sure to try that one.â
âYou really should. And the barista gives you a brownie on Sundays if he likes you.â You shared like it was gossip, mentally taking note to visit the cafe sometime this week.
âAnd I'm sure not everybody gets the privilege?â The guy looked at you funny, and that made you laugh.
"Of course, yes! You have to earn it, I think. I feel like I spent over a million there before he started giving me brownies."
"Hope my charm works on him as well," he said, and it caught you off guard.
What did he mean, "as well"? Like he was speaking from the basis that you had charm and so he hoped he had it as well to get the barista to like him?
"Well. He's strict." Was all you could say, before you spotted your apartment. "Hey, I'll take it over from here."
The guy looked over the plated number on the door, reading three-three-six just as you said earlier. Trudging forward, he set the boxes down on the side of the porch.
"Thank you, really. This was really nice of you."
You extended your gratitude once again as if you didn't spend the walk up to here thanking him non-stop, sounding like a broken record. Thank god the guy didn't seem to mind your over-the-top gratitude, only waving his hand.
"Told you, it's fine. You need help with a few boxes again and just ring me up across," He joked, turning around slightly and looking at the door across your unit, Unit 446. It earned a chuckle from you. His face turned serious now, but there was still a charming smile on his face. âHey. Iâm actually pretty new in this town. I was thinking about visiting a few restaurants downtown, maybe you could recommend me some?â
You didn't mean to, but you took note the way his doe eyes seemed to shimmer even behind the frame of his glasses.
âMy favorites are just, like, a ten-minute walk away. Thereâs this restobar near that drugstore when you turn left from this building, right?â The guy nodded, and you were slightly delighted he knew right away. âYeah, their ramen's great, you'd thank me forever.â
He chuckled at the way you said it and you smiled.
Your interactions with new people were always a range from pure silence to oversharing; talking to them like they were your long lost friend whom youâve milked goats with in your fatherâs orchard. It was probably just a product of introversion; not knowing the right approach to socializing.
âThanks for the recommendation.â He said, a genuine appreciative tone lacing his words.
âYouâre welcome. If I can ring you up to help me with some boxes, you can ring me up for some restaurant recommendation.â
"It's an exchange, then. Deal."
"Why not?" You shrugged, laughing along with him when he did so.
You both stood there for a while until seconds passed. You didnât know exactly how to end the conversation, not that you wanted to, but there was nothing that went to your head to talk about more. And besides, he was probably headed somewhere, so you began to speak.
âHey, so Iâm going inââ
âWhat about weââ
âOh.â You stopped. âSorry, what was that?â
The guy just shook his head. âNah, youâre probably busy. Thanks for the recommendation again.â
âNo, seriously, sorry I didn't hear it the first time...â
âI was just gonna ask about the name of the restaurant.â
âItâs Midday Miso.â You told him, smiling.
âMidday Miso,â The guy nodded, âYeah. Got it. Thanks again.â
âYouâre welcome, and, uh, thanks. For the help.â
You took your keys out from your shorts and you didnât expect to still see him standing in front of you when you turned around. You jokingly squinted your eyes at him.
âYeah, you first, get in.â He said with a low chuckle.
It was a little embarrassing and pretty stupid how your heart fluttered a bit at that.
âWhat a gentleman you are,â You respond with a snort, opening the door to your unit and pushing the boxes inside your apartment. When they were in, you turned to look at the guy again, saying, âOkay, bye for real. See you around. Hope you like Midday Miso if you try it. And the coffee shop. It's called Brown Coffee.â
âSee you around.â He did a little wave that made you both laugh before you closed the door.
When the lock system clicked, you stood on your doorway for a little while.
And then fake-cried.
You quickly clicked on Jimin's pinned contact on your phone.
You [5:35pm]:Â JIMINNNNNNNNN You [5:35pm]:Â POP EMERGENCY You [5:35pm]:Â POP EMERGENCY BITCH IF U DONT RESPOND You [5:36pm]:Â I HAVE A DIABOLICAL CRUSH AND ITS GOING IN THE MEMOIRRRRRR

You [5:49pm]: đ€
There must be a time where you finally grow up and learn to cook.
You were a twenty-eight-year-old woman and yet, your meals sadly ranged from instant noodles, canned goods, and food from the nearby twenty-four-hour provision shop. Sometimes, you had the gall to cook something from scratchâbut with scratch you meant scratching off the labels from food take-outs and reheating them in your microwave.
Jimin had told you one time you would die at twenty-nine with your lifestyle. You told him he couldn't tell you shit because he didn't know how to cook either, he just worked out and ate healthy stuff, and you did, too! But Jimin knew you, and in an evil manner, clocked you with, "Buying fresh produce and not consuming them does not count as healthy living."
Anyway, you never understood why you were so bad at cooking. Your mother, as you remembered her, was decent at it but you guessed it was because she never really taught you and you never really bothered, either. In some immature way of thinking, you'd like to think it was a win for feminism as you were battling patriarchal standards by not conforming to stereotypical "female" qualities. But deep inside, you knew cooking should be a survival skill.
Well, maybe Jimin was right and you would indeed die at the ripe age of twenty-nine. On the bright side, at least you wouldn't have to pay off your student loans and your monthly rent.
In relation, not knowing how to cook meant impractical visits to the restaurant, and that was how you ended up at Midday Miso for dinner after your shift.
It was only a little over seven pm when you entered the restaurant, the ahjumma quickly greeting you and preparing your usual, a sign of familiarity that implied your countless visits ever since moving in at your current apartment building.
Regular visits meant usual sitting spot, and in your case, it was the high stools that faced the glass walls of the restaurant's facade where you could see the busy street making that little area of the town alive.
As minutes overlapped with one another, your food was served and you were hit with the waft of the restaurant's delightful signature beef ramen and bibimbap that the ahjumma made sure to add extra beef on.
Eating with a happy heart made you feel like nothing in the world mattered but you and the food before you, so, you didn't pay attention to the person who was coming to your direction and eventually sat beside you, but what caught you off guard was when said person suddenly said,
"Hi."
When you turned to the side to see who it was, your eyes widened as you said in both recognition and surprise, "Unit 446?"
"That's me." He, Unit 446âin the fleshâsaid with a low chuckle, twisting himself so that he was sat appropriately on the high stool. Still, his body leaned towards you when he continued to say, "Fancy seeing you here."
You grinned, flattered at the casualness of his approach.
"Same to you. I wonder who told you about this local gem."
He pursed his lips. "A nice neighbor across my place... whom I still don't know the name of."
"Oh, shoot!" You'd face-palm right now if he wasn't looking, but truthfully, you didn't even think about that! You've just been referring to him as the Staircase Guy slash Neighbor 446 in your head and when you told Jimin about him. You laughed at the thought. "That neighbor of yours is __."
Neighbor 446 nodded and extended his hand to you
"I'm Jungkook."
It was a little silly but you shook hands, anyway, and knowing it was, indeed, silly, you both laughed together at your joint connection.
Jungkook. Huh. Not exactly a common Korean name, but it wasn't rare either. The name does ring a bell though, felt like you've heard it somewhere before.
You brushed off the familiarity as inconsequential.
Unlike the completely casual attire he adorned the first time that you met him, he was now in some sleek slacks and a white polo which sleeves were ridden up half high, which exposed the vines of ink on his right arm once again. There's a coat that hung around the back of his chair, and he had forgone the glasses this time around, which was a bit of a shame on the part of your brain that might have a silly crush on him.
Jungkook's clothes seemed to mirror your own business casual ensemble, and that made you think about what he possibly did for a living. Maybe he worked a corporate job just like you, and the prospect might have made you down a littleâonly because as far as you were concerned, corporate people weren't the most pleasant people you could encounterâbut it was not something you dwelled on too much because you couldn't care less. If Jungkook was corporate, he sure didn't seem to be one the way he was.
Besides, you wouldn't be the one to bring up the depressing and aggravating conversation about gross grown-up things like... jobs... Eurgh. You both could just talk about the weather or how insane the ahjumma's ramen tasted for eternity.
"Well, hello, Jungkook." You greeted him. All warm and soft, testing the syllables of his name on your tongue. Rolled off well enough. He had a nice name that sure fit his face for some reason.
"Hi, __." He mirrored the soft smile on your lips, and just as he said it, the ahjumma was heading towards your direction to give him his order.
In that usual way grandmas reacted, the ahjumma gasped audiblyâand dramatically, might you addâupon seeing Jungkook, but what she said next made you want to dig a hole under your seat.
"__-dear! Is this young man your boyfriend?"
Good thing you weren't consuming anything as of that moment, because it would've entered the wrong track.
"Ahjumma!" You laughed, totally not authentic at all because your face didn't match it, looking at Jungkook who just sent a shy smile her way.
Ahjumma must have seen you both talking to each other and had completely jumped to a conclusion. An insane one at that!Â
Shaking your head, you clarified, "This is Jungkook. A friend. He's new in town and checking out all the stuff around here. I recommended him this place."
You saw Jungkook nodding along with your words while he helped her set his table.
The ahjumma just shook her head. "I apologize, then," She looked at Jungkook and as if gossiping with him, whispered in a not very subtle way, "I keep on telling this girl to date already! Such young beauty shouldn't be wasted, you know."
A tsk-ing sound made its way through her mouth, and as much as you were starting to feel embarrassed that she was telling on you on Jungkookâwho was literally a stranger to you a day ago and whom you may have a teeny tiny bit of crush onâyou knew ahjumma did not have any malicious intent and just chose to laugh the whole thing off.
You heard Jungkook do the same.
This was ridiculous.
"Ahjumma, I told you, you're gonna be the first one to know when I date. For now I'm just a part-time accountant and a full-time promoter of Midday Miso." You pout at her, trying to dodge the topic of romance altogether.
Not in front of Jungkook.
"Ayee," She gave you a side-eye. "Fine. I'll bring over some extra beef."
You mouthed an enthusiastic "yes!" and raised your fist in the air with excitement, and Jungkook looked at the interaction with a smile on his face.
As the ahjumma walked away, you looked over at him.
"I'm glad you came byâ" You identified his order to be the same one you used to be obsessed with the first few months you came to the restaurant. "âand ordered their best seller. You sure know how to be a tourist."
"Looked good on the menu. The ahjumma also seems to be nice. Seems like she's a close friend, huh?" Jungkook said.
"Totally."
And it was the truth. There was just something about ahjumma that made you feel reminiscent about the grandmother you've never had. Ever since you moved in and became a regular at this place, it felt like she's taken care of you and your relationship had been special since.
"This is really good." Jungkook commented after having his second bite, and you nodded in agreement. "She was serious about the beef thing?"
You chuckled at the mention. "Yeah, she always gives me extra."
"You just always get free stuff around these areas?" Jungkook joked which earned a hearty laugh from you. You remembered telling him about the free brownie on Sundays at Brown Coffee, a little bit surprised he recalled that.
"Now that you said that, I actually do." You proudly shared. You've been in this town for so long that the various faces just went from familiar to friends.
Jungkook nodded, his face showing amusement.
"I have to learn your ways, then."
"The secret to that is be incompetent at cooking. It means it's either take-out or eat out. Business owners around here have no choice but to see me every three days because I can't cook my own meal."
You could see Jungkook's amusement growing every second, and to add faux insult to injury, he joked, "Oh, bummer."
You decided to ride along with that.
"You mean you're a good cook? That's the real bummer! And here I thought we were bonding." You said, purposefully trying to sound scandalous at his implication of being a good cook.
He shook his head instantly, chuckling. "Okay, nah. I'm not that good. Just decent. But I'll have you know I can make a mean tangsuyuk. Any other complicated stuff is out the window, so there, we are bonding."
"I appreciate that you're under the assumption that I know where to begin with the non-complicated stuff. You're already putting way too much faith in me."
"I seriously doubt that." Jungkook laughed once again.
"You know what my friend tells me? That I'd die at twenty-nine because I don't know how to cook."
Jungkook almost keeled over hearing you say the words, and as much as you were amused at his own amusement, you decided to further add on the joke because you were enjoying this way too much.
"Wow. I wouldn't doubt you'd be an accessory to my murder the way you're laughing way too hard at my impending death. That's next year, you know."
Jungkook reached over for the glass of water and drank it. While he did so, the ahjumma had come over to give you the beef she promised. You did not forgot to thank her as soon as she went away.Â
You did hope Jungkook didn't notice the malicious wink she sent your way.
"Fuck, sorry." Jungkook's laughter had gone down this time, but his eyes still showed a hint of mirth when he asked, "You're twenty-eight, then?"
You nodded. "Yep." Unfortunately, you thought.
"Oh, that's actually surprising."
A gasp left your mouth. Jungkook was quick to correct himself.
"I meant it's surprising because I thought you were way younger."
Oh.
"Don't flatter me. I won't share my extra beef with you."
"I thoughtâ" He shrugged. "âEarly twenties."
"I'm guessing you are in your early twenties." You joked back.
"Okay, now, don't flatter me. I know how old I look." Jungkook said with a dismissive tone, but nevertheless light-hearted. Just like how this whole thing was going.
God, you were so in awe of how good he was at talking to you that he was practically bringing out the extrovert in you you only ever show to exclusive people like Jimin.
"So, you're like, fifty, then?"
Incredulous, Jungkook burst into laughter. "Wow."
"Sorry, just that you sounded like you were five years from retirement! Anyway, you look like we're the same age?"
He shook his head. "Three years older. Turning thirty-one later this year."
Jaw dropped. Not physically, but mentally.
"Oh wow, you're basicallyâ"Â a fucking DILF! What the hell!
Thankfully you managed to cut yourself off before Jungkook could think you were way off your rocks and embarrass yourself in front of him for eternity. You could just hear Jimin from miles away telling you off about calling thirty-year-old men DILFs even though you didn't know if they had a child.
What do you mean this guy was thirty and why did that just make him even hotter in your head... He's got to stop this madness before you do something completely incomprehensible.
"âA senior." Was the lame thing you came up with to finish your sentence.
"Ouch." Jungkook said, but his word was completely opposite to the expression he was wearing on his face the way he just couldn't suppress the grin that had been visible on his mouth since you started talking.
You brought your hands up.
"Totally didn't mean that in a negative way."
Which was the entire truth. So far, the things you knew about him was that he had tattoos, a nice body, a nice personality, good ass freaking conversationalist, and that he was thirty! Thirty! As in, the peak of male hotness. The evil psychological concept of most men only getting hotter as they age.
"I'm sure, I'm sure," Jungkok nodded. "By the way, are you heading out after this?"
"Oh, yeah. Don't have anywhere else to go. I have a nine A.M tomorrow so..." you shrugged, and he nodded in understanding.
"You work as an accountant, right, from what you told the ahjumma?" Jungkook asked you curiously.
"Yeah... it's a very tedious job." You grimaced a little bit. "What about you?"
He tilted his head a bit, picking up a dumpling on his plate. "I'm a software engineer."
"Oh, that's cool."
You nodded to yourself while you processed what he said.
Works in fucking tech;Â another thing you just learned about him.Â
You weren't actively seeking out guys in tech, but why did they seem to come to you voluntarily? God forbid you saw someone who wasn't in there! Was every man working in tech now? Was Jimin really only being truthful when he said they were exactly your type?
"Have you made any software or is that, like, a wrong assumption about you guys?"
Jungkook merely chuckled at your retort.
"Not entirely, no. I've designed a few software in collegeâI'm still doing it. I'm just currently doing more business stuff now." He gave you a sheepish smile. "You?"
"Well, it's just... you knowâI actually work at a tech company. I'm a junior accountant. And, uh, nothing interesting, really. You get to do cool math like programming, and I get to do boring math like calculating money I don't have. It's always a great day at work." You said, couldn't help the laugh that skipped your mouth at your own sarcasm.
Nothing like joking about hating your job to someone who you just met yesterday.
"Programming and coding are not all that, either. It's tedious and... it's just a really boring job. But... it all pays the bills."
You chuckled.
"Yeah. Totally."
Without minding it, you raised the small glass of soju, initiating a toast, one that Jungkook understood immediately and met you in the middle of it.
The night was still you when you walked out of Midday Miso, but unlike any other nights, it was with Jungkook this time walking beside you.
"So you justâwhatâhid him for three months?"
"Well, yes! I wasn't about to get a notice for that! And besides, he was really cute. But he's in good hands now, his owner still sends me pictures of him. He's very grown and big."
"That's insane."
You peered at Jungkook who watched you in awe as you told him about the story of Alfredo, the cat whom you rescued on your way home from work a year ago. The landlady obviously had her fair share of rules and regulations in her building, and keeping pets was an absolute no, which was a shame. Definitely wasn't a shame when you first just moved in the complex, but things got lonely sometimes when you were living alone and company was almost a luxury.
Anyway, as told, you managed to keep Alfredo out of the landlady's sight until you found a highly qualified parent on some online forum who you still kept in contact with to this day.
But as you watched Jungkook, you noticed the way his expression fell into something concerning. He looked worried, which made you feel the same way as a result.
"What are you thinking?" You asked him curiously.
"Oh, nah, I was just... thinking. See, I actually have a dog."
"Oh!" You looked at him wide-eyed.
He has a dog;Â another thing about Jungkook that would qualify him on the regular rounds of hot boy of the month on Twitter dot com.Â
"Yeah."
"You didn't read the terms and conditions of the building?" Your eyebrows formed a concerned expression.
Jungkook chuckled and shook his head. "I did. I justâsuddenly thought about him, is all. He's being taken care of some place. But, you know, I missed him, and I was thinking about getting him here and showing him around my new place and all that."
"Oh... that's a bummer, then. The landlady's strict, even with the small dogs, can you imagine? Is he small, by the way, your dog?
"He's a Doberman, so definitely a big one."
"He must be really cute. What's his name?"
"Bam." He smiled at you, and you could totally see the pride showing on his face at the mention of his dog. And with a tone that you could only identify as someone who's suppressing his enthusiasm a little bit, he added, "You wanna see a picture of him?"
"Sure!"
Jungkook took out his phone from his pocket and showed you images of a big, chocolate brown dog. Bam definitely wasn't like the other regular Dobermans you'd see around. His ears weren't cropped, and his tail wasn't docked either. You didn't know if the lack of surgery was intentional from his side, but you'd like to think he kept it that way because he knew it hurt the dog greatly. From how you've been knowing him, you were certain he just didn't want to put his dog under unnecessary pain, which was honestly heartwarming to think about.
Jungkook was becoming way too good to be true in you head little by little.
"Awe, he's adorable!" You cooed, especially when he swiped through the picture of his pet, Bam, as a pup in what seemed to be Jungkook's arms based on the familiar tattoos that peeked from the exposed arm as seen on the picture. The tattoos also seemed to be new at that time as well, considering that the skin was still yet to be fully covered like now.
"I'm flattered you think that."
"Where is he, by the way? If you don't mind me asking."
"He's at a... friend's place in New York. He's not very good at flying so I didn't bring him with me here, and I thought, I'll only be here for three months, anyway, so." Jungkook shrugged.
Three months. Well. He did say he was only staying here temporarily.
You nodded. "For business, right?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"You grew up there?" You kicked the stone that was caught at the tip of your shoe, putting your fists in the deeper part of your coat's pockets. Summer may be hot during daytime, but it sure as hell was cold on nights like these.
"Nah, I'm from Busan. Flew to California for college and have been there since. Until now, that is."
Jimin was also from Busan, you thought. Though he said they only lived there for a few years until his parents moved to Seoul, but he made sure to visit his hometown every now and then. Most of the time, he made you come with him which you never had complaints about. You lived in the city all your life so going there, especially in the more urbanized area where you and Jimin stayed. Felt like fresh airâwhich Busan had, quite literally.
"My best friend's from Busan too."
"Really? What about you?"
You chuckled before answering, "I, unfortunately, did not come from any interesting place. Born and raised in Seoul, through and through. Though my mom told me she lived in Daegu for many years prior to having me."
"Seoul is an interesting place, though."
"Eh. It's okay." You shrugged, and your nonchalance made you both laugh.
The walk to your apartment building from Midday Miso was not that far. Still, it was five blocks away and while you and Jungkook were currently sharing conversation together and seemingly walking the same path, you weren't sure if you were both walking together there.
As if he read your mind, he suddenly spoke after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"You mind if we walk together to the building?"
You decided to joke to get the jittery feeling out of your system.
"Scared of the dark, Jungkook?"
"Sure... my five-eleven self is."
You squinted your eyes at him. He did not just go there!
"Is that a slight against my height because I'm five-seven, mind you."
Jungkook stopped in his tracks which made you do the same, and you watched as he put his hand on his waist while the other reach up to his face to place a finger over his chin, seemingly assessing you up and down. You looked at him incredulously.
"You're bumping your height to two inches." He seriously said.
You gasped audibly.
"Oh, shut up,"
You rolled your eyes and turned your back at him, continuing your walk as you heard him behind you bursting in laughter at your reaction.
"I'm kidding!"
You first met Jimin at a college party. He was five years older than you, supposedly out of college by the time you attended, but he always had a problem with rebellionâwhat with his ragged relationship with his parents, he would intentionally flunk his courses as a message to them that he'd always be a black sheep and a proud one at that, hoping it would be enough to convey that they could not force him to be the heir of their company. (Obviously, it had taken him nowhere, given that he was now currently attending a training program to work at said company).
But maybe it was a blessing in disguise that he was set back to five years for graduation. Because you got to know him, and he got to know you.
On the outside, you might look like the total opposite of each otherâbecause Jimin was the definition of extroversion who wasn't afraid to put himself out thereâwhile you, admittedly, were more reserved and usually shied away from any public attention.
As much as you were welcoming to a lot of people, you didn't have a lot of close friends growing upâat least not the kind of friends you'd see on TV showsâbut when Jimin came to your life, you clicked so instantly you could not even figure out where you two exactly began.
The instant way you two clicked, you realized, was like your relationship with Jungkook nowadays.
Ever since that night at Midday Miso, you've been seeing a lot of each other. Granted that it was only in the same place, same time. You'd usually arrive past seven and he, a few minutes later. Jungkook, cladded in his slacks and long-sleeved polo, was becoming a usual sight after a shift, and your business casual clothes was turning as one for him as well.
Your usual seating spot became his as nights passed, and ahjumma, thank God, no longer asked you if he was your boyfriend. You were glad that she was slowly getting acquainted with him though, greeting him with a friendlier smile and tone reserved only for customers like you when he entered the restaurant, and Jungkook seemed to welcome the newfound friendship wholeheartedly.
On the consecutive nights you'd spent with him, it was almost as if you lived quite the same life. Though, you didn't know when he went to work. In fact, you didn't see him during the mornings even though in theory, it could be easy, granted that you both lived across each other. But strangely enough, you'd never caught him retiring to his flat to go to the bus station. You assumed he started earlier than you or way later.
You never asked, it never came up either.
Still, there was some sort of tranquility in the thought that you could spend some time with someone after your shift and just talk about whateverâand whatever meant a lot of things. Random at best. You once told him about the first raccoon you met in your life, and he told you all about the lioness he got to watch when he went to a South Saharan trip a few years ago.
Sometimes, the conversation went around what happened in the office that day. Jungkook noticed the little blot of ink on the cuff of your baby blue long sleeves, and you told him about the jammed printer in the accounting department. He'd told you later on about how he almost fucked up a report, said he was nervous because he was taking on a new role in the office.
Those moments were shared in long walks from Midday Miso to your apartment building, because naturally, you both established a small tradition of walking home together after a night of eating your hearts out at ahjumma's restaurant.
It was a rather sweet gesture, if you were honest to yourself. But you chose not to linger too much on the romantic thoughts that floated in your head, especially when you'd notice the way he made sure to walk on the outer side of the sidewalk, and when your fingers got too close the tips almost touched.
Because Jungkook, for how objectively good looking he was, was more than just his pretty face and physique.
He was kind and funny and genuine unlike any other straight men you've met in your life. Maybe the bar was low, but for all the times you've gotten to talk to him, he never showed any signs of ego most men would by the second hour of your meeting.
In the dating scene as an adult, a lot of men would come up to a date talking about how high they were placed at their company's hierarchy and how much they made in a month, and when they hear about yours, they'd always have a backhanded comment about how "you could only go up from there, right?" and those moments were always a bummer. Yawn-inducing, to be more accurate. Men and their predictability was boring and it was the reason why you'd declare to Jimin almost every time you got home from a date that you were retired from looking for them because most men just plainly fucking sucked.
But with Jungkook... was it different.
You found he didn't talk a lot, and one time you asked him if you were doing itâthe talkingâway too much, but he just chuckled and told you that he didn't mind.
Later on, you learned that he was just more of a listener rather than a talker, and that was not only a pure assumption of yours because he did listen attentively, alright. As for all the random things you've told him about, you never expected him to recall a single thing, not until one time when you passed by a food truck.
"Hey, didn't you say you like sundae?" Jungkook asked, and when you followed where his eyes were, it was at the food truck parked just a few steps ahead from where you both were.
"I do... wow. It's been so long since I saw a food truck around here." You said, following his steps towards the vehicle.
They had tables to dine in, and even if you were still full from eating at Midday Miso that night, the sundae was just too gratifying to decline. Jungkook was the same with the tteokbokki on his small plate, telling you he missed eating at one of these things, as they didn't exactly have anything like this abroad.
After he paid for the food (and of course not without a long, silly, light-hearted argument about it), he came back with two sticks of Melona ice pops which you looked at with widened eyes, animated expression written all over your face especially when he thrusted the purple yam flavor to you.
"Oh my god, how do they have these?"
"I was surprised as well... this is the first time in a while I'm eating this again." Jungkook said and then gestured to the ice pop in your hand, "You like the purple yam, right?"
"Yeah!"
You were about to ask him how he knew, but then you briefly remembered that one time you had a passionate rant about people hating on purple yam ice cream and why they weren't right.
And as you looked at Jungkook, he seemed to remember it all too well.
Jungkook showed genuine interest in the things you'd tell him about. He'd visit the cafes and restaurants you recommended to him as much as he could, and because you've come to exchange numbers with him eventually after almost two weeks of casually hanging out, they sometimes came during lunch break.
1 message received from Jungkook (Unit 446)
That day, you only exchanged contacts the other night, so seeing him on your phone so quickly like that caught you by surprise. It was welcomed though.
Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:36pm]:Â I went to Cafe Heaven for lunch and loved their ice americano
As soon as you read the first message, another one came.
Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:36pm]:Â This is Jungkook by the way :)
You laughed at his introduction. As if he didn't see you type his name on your phone last nightâlike he didn't jokingly complain about you putting the (Unit 446) in there but giving in eventually and also adding (Unit 336) to yours in his own contacts.
You [12:38pm]:Â Hi Jungkook! You [12:38pm]:Â im glad u went!!! u should also try their fettuccine alfredo
Seconds later, he sent a picture of the dish you just mentioned which put a smile on your face.
Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:39pm]:Â i'll get my refund from you if this doesnt taste good
You [12:40pm]: 1 week of friendship and ur already ripping me off đ€
Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:40pm]:Â đ Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:40pm]:Â first bite Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:41pm]:Â second bite
What was he on, you didn't know. But you were glad that he was slowly coming around, his jokes getting more... how would you say it... less polite? He just stopped apologizing after he said them! He usually would in the first few days, but now in your newfound closeness, it was like you were out of that stage where you tiptoed around each other still, feeling the other one out, trying to figure them out, all that stuff.
Nowadays, it was just more natural. Smooth-sailing. Paradoxical, almost, because of how the relationship felt more defined as well as loose.
You found you liked it that way.Â
Jungkook (Unit 446) [12:42pm]:Â I like it đđ»
And to your surprise, he sent you a picture of him, indeed, holding a thumbs up.
You'd like to think you were an expert on going along with the tide because even though you would be classified as introvert by most, you did pretty well in forming relationships with peopleâgranted, most of them were fleeting, at best, hence the lack of bigger circles in most of your lifeâbut you were great with making friends, regardless.Â
And maybe it was how you ended up with this whole thing with Jungkook. Because you were friendly and open, although you wouldn't dare to take all credits because as you mentioned before, he was a great conversationalist.
He didn't talk much as you said, but he didn't ever make you feel like you were talking way too much because he made sure that you knew he was listening, and when he talked, it was always engaging; conversations with him transitioned to different subjects in perfect seugue you would never noticed how you jumped from Melona ice pops to the existential dread you fought every morning before going to work. Â
When it came to humor, Jungkook's was different from Jimin's, of course, and your dynamic with your best friend could never be replicated with somebody else but Jungkook was close to truly becoming your friend, and for that, it was getting easier to ignore his handsome face.
You may have had an embarrassing moment of panicking mentally at seeing such a man in the first meeting, but nowadays, you could hold a conversation with him without thinking how hot he was.
Dare you say, you were starting to think more platonically about him rather than romantically. As you said, you were an expert on going along with the tide.
Or maybe that was too soon a declaration, because there were moments, like now, when you were certain juvenile flirting insisted on happening between you, steering you clear from completely feeling wholly platonic about Jungkook.
"I certainly have a bigger hand than you."
As if you didn't know that, Jungkook brought his hand up to show you it. Confused but not totally minding the whole thing, you proceeded to extend your own hand towards his, pressing them both together. Predictably, his hand could have engulfed the entirety of your own.
Jungkook laughed at the sight, and you didn't know exactly who broke the physical contact first but you were glad it was over as soon as it started.
But you couldn't have forgotten the electric zap along your spine when your hand got so close like that to his. Couldn't have ignored the hot feeling in your cheeks when you were made aware of what you just did.
Wow.
Were you guys flirting? Was he flirting? It was flirting, right? Juvenile, at best, because this was what kids did in high school! And Jungkook's hand was so...
You never imagined what it felt likeânever even crossed your mind until now. Expectations about how his hand felt never formed in your head because you sure as hell never thought about that kind of thing happening in the first place, but Jungkook's hand was the right balance of soft and hard. Calloused in a way most men's hands naturally were, and soft like enough comfort when held and touched.
It wasn't clammy, thank god, but you also wouldn't have thought he had clammy hands, solely because he just looked like he didn't. But god, was it big.
And my goodness, did it make you feel things.
You drank your water fast and cleared your throat, subtly, so that he didn't think too much of it.
"O-okay, but that's just genetics. Doesn't mean you could throw stronger punches."
You said in retaliation to one of your useless debates which now covered the coin-operated boxing arcade machine across the bus station nearby.
Jungkook leaned back against the monobloc chair that was definitely way too flimsy for him.
You were currently hanging out at the dining area of the food truck you came across a few days ago, forgoing Midday Miso for the night. Lately, Jungkook and you have been exploring a few more places other than there. You've tried other restaurants nearby, but ultimately, Midday Miso was still the top favorite and the food truck was becoming a staple in lieu of its convenience and just the overall vibe of eating outside and feeling the breeze of summer night air.
"You got me curious about the boxing machine." Jungkook said, crossing his arms.
"I held the highest score there for like a week, you know? Only did it though to impress the kids who liked to watch."
At that, Jungkook's face lit up in interest.
"We should do that sometime."
"Oh... I see, I see. You wanna impress the kids, too?" You playfully accused, squinting your eyes at him.
He chuckled and waved you off.
"It can be a challenge." Jungkook shrugged and looked at you with a hint of mirth in his eyes.
You let out a puff of breath, amused at his obvious antics.
"What's the catch?"
"Well... free boba delivered to your door for a week if you get the higher score. How's that sound?" He looked at you expectantly.
You chuckled before saying, "I'm gonna rip you off so bad, Jungkook."
"Only if you win, though." He said with a mischievous smirk.Â
"Oh, wow. When, you mean. When I win. So what's in it for you?" You leaned your elbow on the table and studied his face.
He looked at you for a while, then, the smirk from earlier was wiped off and exchanged with a much gentler smile.
"Home-cooked dinner at my place next week Friday."
Your eyebrows met.
"You want me to cook you something? Jungkook, do you have a death wish? I may either give you unintentional food poisoning or burn your house down, there's no in between."
"No," Jungkook laughed at your insane conclusion. "Sorry, I should've specified. I mean if you lose, I'll be cooking us a meal at my place."
"Oh."
You were left staring at him, a bit dumbfounded.
He just said he wanted to cook you guys a meal. At his place.
He was inviting you to his place. His personal space.
"It won't be better than Midday Miso but I think I can keep up." Jungkook added with a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his head in that seemingly boyish manner.
"Sure..." you responded, a bit delayed, much to your effort of not showing your big surprise at his offer. Before he noticed the way you were not believing what you heard, you chose to quip in a (hopefully) cheeky, "That is if you win, though."
Jungkook only hummed and then nodded.
"If I win."
He said, smiling at you.
This was dangerous.
The whole thing was teetering to something that was not very platonic, and just as you were starting to think this whole thing was!
Jimin always told you that you were bad at flirting, but in your defense, how were you supposed to know, exactly, if someone was flirting with you? A lot of people were friendly like that! Jungkook was maybe like that? Had you shown interest and he noticed so now he was playing into it? But that would be uncharacteristic of him. You didn't think he'd be the type to do something cruel like that...
But the tide was always rising and falling, they said, and the good thing was; you knew how to go along with the current.
So you did what you do best.
"Would you like to donate to the poor?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but there's a chance this card's gonna decline because I am the poor."
The cashier looked you in the eye with an even more impassive look than the one she had before you got your turn on the counter.
"Could've just said no." She said, punching your order away and you had to shamefully swipe your card and leave to go over where Jimin was.
"The cashier just snubbed me for being poor." You complained to Jimin, moving your coat to the next seat and settling in in yours.
Jimin took a sip from his latte and looked at you dead in the eye and said, "I'll call the manager if you want."
"Fuck off." You retaliated immediately. Jimin snorted at your way too predictable response.
See, this has happened way too many times more than what your fingers could count. You could not even pinpoint the exact time when Jimin started to joke about going full-on Karen-mode when you complained about a single little thing at the places you went to.
Anyway, you were currently on a lunch break when Jimin texted to see if you were free. What better way to spend your lunch than with your best friend? The company's canteen food was getting tired and they hiked up their prices. Your office's kitchen also ran out of Solhee's â your coworker â biscuits and so you thought you had to make do of Jimin's money for that day. You told him your motives yourself and as a petty retort, he told you to pay for your own pasta â at a cafĂ© that was way too expensive for its own good.
You stole a bite off his churros, and predictably, he rolled his eyes at you.
"Why'd you want to see me, by the way? What's up? You don't have training?" you glanced at your wristwatch, reading 12:40pm.
Soon, you were casually taking over his plate of churros. For how ridiculously priced it was, it sure tasted good as hell.
"I got the day off." Jimin shrugged.
You eyed him suspiciously almost immediately.
"Did you really...?"
It was a few seconds before Jimin gave in and took back his plate.
"Okay, no, I ditched the training today but for the record it's for a very important reason."
You put your hand over your chest and contorted your face in an awed, touched expression.
"The important reason being... meeting me?"
"Ew, no," Was Jimin's quick, disgusted, response â which earned a laugh from you as usual.
From your peripheral vision, you saw the waiter heading towards your direction and so you waited for him to come over and serve you your pasta and frappe. After thanking him, you huddled closer to your best friend and asked, "Okay, what is it then?"
Jimi pursed his lips, making your eyebrows meet.
"It's kinda... bummer news."
"You're pregnant?"
"No, you'd be way too happy and I can't be a single dad," He shook his head as if not even wanting to imagine that.
"Namjoon looks like he's gonna take care of it with you." You sing-sang, sipping on your coffee and winking at him indiscreetly â emphasis on indiscreetly because you never knew how to wink properly.
What you did not expect, was the look on Jimin's face when you mentioned Namjoon.
"Well..." He trailed off, and you waited for it curiously; anticipating his impending answer in return because your conversation was always quick-witted like that. But right now, Jimin's expression was devoid of any jokes.Â
Not something you expected when you just mentioned his boyfriend.
"Iâ did something happen?" You quickly dropped the teasing tone and exchanged it with a concerned one, eyes looking at him with worry.
Jimin closed his eyes for a while and let out a deep breath. "See, that's the bummer news."
"Do you want to tell me? Or we can justâ"
He cut you off before you could even finish your sentence. But he did it with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes â and this was Jimin. His eyes did not not reach his eyes when he smiled!
"He's going to Italy."
"Oh."
When the pause prolonged for over a minute, with you looking at him mouth agape, Jimin let out a heavy sigh once again and shook his head.
"I know. It's work... and I always understood that. He travels a lot and we're both okay with it. But it was usually just around the country, not another continent. I mean, what did he mean Italy? And that's not even the worst part. He knew a month ago he was going but he only told me two days ago and he's leaving Thursday," Jimin looked at you to take a pause, seemingly trying to look for a reaction.
You thought, that's tomorrow.
As if he read your mind, he nodded, sounding almost defeated.
"I know."
"Oh, Jimin..." You said, not exactly knowing what to say.
Jimin and Namjoon had been together for over a year. At least, officially, because they spent the last three years just casually hooking up on and off. You liked them together and had been more than glad when they finally put a label to it â exactly why you knew Namjoon enough to not badmouth him when you usually would men Jimin usually dated. You knew perfectly well that Namjoon genuinely cared about your best friend and he loved him. So if Jimin was at a loss for this obvious mistake on his boyfriend's part, even more so you were.
"He's been blowing up my phone ever since." Jimin added, glancing at his phone on the table. "Intentionally didn't charge my phone today so I don't receive his calls and texts."
That prompted you to remember the message you received from Namjoon last night.
"Oh, that's why he texted me yesterday. He asked about you, and I told you through text but you didn't answer." Things were starting to make sense now, and as you observed Jimin's face, they were getting clearer. "You never talked since?"
Jimin pursed his lips. He took his coffee back to his mouth and sipped while looking away. "Nope."
"Jimin." You tilted your head.
He looked at you again, and you knew exactly that he was thinking the same thing as you: It was within his right to feel off about what Namjoon did, but regardless; Jimin was being a little petty, and he needed to communicate with his boyfriend instead of giving him the cold shoulder.
There was a pout that formed on Jimin's lips right after.
"I know. I just..."
"He could've told you sooner?" He nodded at your words. You mirrored that. "He should have. Italy is not Busan â it's not just a train ride away."
Jimin sighed, looking exasperated now. "I told him that exactly. I'm not even mad he's going to Italy, I just think I deserve to know right after he was told about it."
You nodded. "You should really talk. It sounds like he wants to apologize, anyway, given that he's now trying to talk to me to get through you."
"Sorry you got caught up in this. I'm gonna talk to him about it."
"Eh, it's fine. Joon and I are also friends, you know?" You shrugged, genuinely not minding Namjoon coming to you.Â
You liked Namjoon and thought that he was the perfect match for Jimin. They were cute together and just seemed to... take the best out of each other. You'd go to any lengths to keep them together, as long as Jimin wanted Namjoon and as his boyfriend. You've seen Jimin go from relationships to relationships, some just fleeting and simple dalliances, and most destructive and were just... not good for him. You've never seen your best friend truly happy and committed in a romantic relationship other than with Namjoon, and as someone who cared about him, you'd do a lot of things to make him happy.
"Here's another thing, his flight is tomorrow at 11:30pm in the evening. Mom's birthday dinner is at 10." Jimin usually had his composure everytime, and it was very rarely you'd see him show any worry because he liked everybody to think he was in control of every situation. You smiled. Classic Jimin. He'd only ever show his true nature to you though, and that was exactly why he looked at you with worried eyes and continued to say, "I really wanna be there to send him off."
The call time for his mother's party was at 10 and naturally people would start swarming in way past that time. If Jimin were to sneak out way too early, you knew his mother was not going to be happy about it and his father would give him an even bigger shit for it. Sure, he could cancel, but what would he say? That their supposed cishet son is sending off his boyfriend at the airport for the night? He couldn't reason work either because he didn't exactly have one.
After having his wrongful DUI accusation last springâ which was actually already settled, on the grounds that it was definitely not DUI and the owner of the other car just overreacted to a fender bender, the media was adamant on tactically using that to taint his family's image and it unfortunately succeeded â hence, why Jimin had been laying low these past few months; going to training programs, obeying his parents more than usual, doing what they wanted...
You sighed. Your best friend deserved so much better.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get us to leave early." You told him after awhile.
Jimin arched his brow, intrigued.
Waving him off, you said, "I can fake something."
As if hearing some magic words, Jimin suddenly perked up.
"No way you're using the diarrhea card?"
Giving him a dirty look, you shook your head. "Nah, not during a dinner party. It's gotta be something new and less... gross."
"Oh, oh!" Jimin put a finger over his lip. "What about a sprained ankle? Can you pull that off?"
You deadpanned. "Okay, you ought to pay me more if you want me to do that."
"I can, but I won't. Stop ripping me off, I'm your best friend."
"Jimin, I'll save you from your family. I'm great at this." You said jokingly, but you hoped that he knew you weren't just jesting and were serious about it.
With the appreciation masking your best friend's face, though, you knew he got the message right away, but as you looked at him longer, you realize that he was about to say something and you quickly pulled back, shaking your head.
Jimin quickly reacted. "No! You know what, I'm gonna say itâ"
"Don't say it." You quickly cut him off, giggling while you shake your cup of coffee.
"You can't keep me from saying I loâ"
"Jimin, I will tell everybody in this place you watch dubbed anime, I'm serious."
He gasped, quite dramatically.
"You did not just go there!" Then, he lowered his voice a bit, arching his brow at you, vindicative when he said, "You wore skinny jeans a month ago."
"How dare you, you wore a fuckass poncho last week. I saw on your IG story."
"That was from Namjoon and he also gave you one, FYI."
You grimaced. "Tell him I love him but I'm not wearing a poncho, Jimin."
"I was gonna tell you I love you and that you're the best person ever but now I have to rethink all of that." He rolled his eyes, and when the banter ended with you having the last words, you laughed at his face.
"God, you're just never beating me at this."
"Please, we both know you write your mediocre insults on your diary every night trying to one-up me, __. But let's talk about something else."
"I'm not even gonna acknowledge the diary thing but, sure, shoot." You said, starting to eat your pasta.
Jimin looked at your food full of judgement and grimaced. "Is that shrimp? Your doctor is growing grey pubes as we speak," He commented, and you knew he was referring to your shrimp allergy so you shushed him.
"This is vegan shrimp. It's tofu."
He just shook his head, disagreement written on his face. But he let it pass, anyway.
"Anyway, how's Mr. 446?"
The pasta suddenly entered the wrong track.
"Girl," Jimin was quick to offer you the glass of water on his side and you were just as fast to drink it. "You okay?"
"I'm sure there are existing cases of people dying because food got on the wrong track while they're eating, but yeah, sure, I'm okay." When you finished the water, you looked at Jimin who was just doing the same thing.
Crossing his arms, he eyed you expectantly. "Well?"
"I mean... what do you want me to say?" you told him, and you could've sworn you did not want to show anything on your face but you were certain there was a huge smile on it and for some reason, you couldn't help it.
Jimin's jaw dropped, expressions of disbelief and amusement when he asked you curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"Okay, look, Jiminâ" You scratched the back of your head, feeling a little sheepish to tell him all about Jungkook. "He told me we'd get dinner at his place this Friday if he wins this... thing."
His mouth was agape by then and you couldn't help but laugh.
"You... slut."
You would absolutely be rolling off the floor if you weren't at a public place the moment he mouthed the word, but still, you couldn't help but retort back.
"Shut up, you can't be the only one whoring around in this friendship." Jimin snorted at that and you both had to stifle your laughter when you noticed a woman from across the room eyeing you both.
This was one of the reasons why Jimin and you didn't belong in public places other than bars or clubs â because you were way too rowdy together for civilization.
"So you're saying you're whoring around?" He eyed you suspiciously.
"Wrong information. It's actually kind of platonic."
Jimin quickly waved you off. "Babe, if a guy invites you to his place, nothing is ever platonic about it. What do you think you'll do together there? Stare at each other for two hours straight?"
God, you hated and loved that he enables your delusions.
"Okay, you're being insane about this. It's just dinner," Trying to fight off the not-so-very-platonic things that suddenly played in your head after hearing his previous remark. To show that you didn't care, you added for good measure, "âAnd anyway, we had some sort of deal about it so it's not definite."
Your best friend just shrugged. "I'm all for it. But you're sure he isn't a serial killer, right?"
"Jimin, god, no," you chuckled at that. "I mean, I don't really know for sure, but we're friends now and as far as I know, he's never shown signs of psychopathy."
Jimin and you hadn't hung out in a while, so you haven't really told him all about Jungkook yet and the things you got to know about him. He didn't even know his name. As far as he was concerned, Jungkook was still Mr. 446, and you were fine keeping it that way. He had a lot on his plate right now, anyway.
"Just being cautious." He sing-sang, putting both his hands in the air.
You shook your head.
"Anyway, we also need to talk about what we're gonna wear tomorrow," Jimin suddenly said. "You got the Pinterest board I sent you, right? For the inspo."
Grinning, you grabbed your iPad from your bag and got to the link immediately. Your phone died on the way to the café. Good thing you had another device and brought it with you.
"I also added a few things in here. Gold and black's the theme, right?" You clarified, scrolling through the board you and Jimin both contributed to. Your best friend took it upon himself to transfer seats so he could be beside you and look at your screen at the same time.
"You're gonna look so good in Schiaparelli, babe," Jimin said while checking out the pictures you added.
"It's just an inspo, I don't actually need to wear a Schiaparelli." You chuckled.
"Who do you think your best friend is?"
You both laughed at that but it stopped when a notification popped up on your computer. Recognizing the address as your work email, you were quick to hover over it. When you were about to open it to see the full message, your iPad suddenly died.
"Shoot." You looked at Jimin with a straight face. "I forgot to plug it in. Didn't notice the battery."
Jimin grimaced. "Didn't bring any power cable."
"We'll have to do with a phone. Mine died."
You were just about to ask him for his but then you remembered what he said about avoiding Namjoon, hence, his phone was of no use either.Â
"We're gonna have to freestyle."
Last year, Mrs. Park's party was held at a theater hall â your first time at one, by the way.
Tonight, it was at their mansion.
You've only ever been to the Park's a total of one time, which was now. Stepping a foot inside here for the first time in your life, the house felt unreal. It was the epitome of money and wealth and everything regal in the world â like a palace of some sort. They had butlers and guards at the gates so maybe that wasn't an exaggeration, but damn, Jimin truly came from money.
Regardless of how shiny the whole building was in both literal and figurative senses though, there was an emptiness to it. It didn't look lived in â which was a fair assumption for a house this big. It definitely did not look like people liked staying here, and maybe that was not a stretch, because as soon as he turned 18, Jimin moved away and lived in his own place ever since. You asked him on your way here and he told you it was his first time this year to visit his own house.
The decoration was sick, though. Granted, they must have surely hired people to do it but at least they'd hired excellent ones. You wouldn't have expected anything less from Jimin's mom.
Jimin and you arrived at 10pm sharp, and thankfully, people were already starting to fill the place up. It was now past 15 minutes to 10pm since you arrived and there really was nothing different that went on from last year; you saw some familiar faces, politicians, and celebrities. Jimin introduced you to some people as his girlfriend, and you got to have quick chats with his model friends.
You knew it didn't actually matter if you thought about it carefully, but there was truly nothing compared to the feeling you get when you see someone in the flesh that you only see on TV all your life. You didn't feel lucky to see them in person, per se, you were just poured over the realization that these people were actually real and they weren't just some sort of simulation to keep the entertainment industry of your country afloat.
Although, you did meet Han Sol â an actress whose works you genuinely admired. Jimin just told you her husband was his second cousin.
It wasn't later that Jimin and you were invited to his family's table, where some of his cousins and immediate family were.
The greetings went pretty normal. Normal as in: Jimin's mom didn't say anything about your weight first thing first. Granted, she didn't try to hide the look of disappointment on her face when she saw you with his son. Probably reeling at the fact that you were still "dating" each other even after a year â she was probably under the impression that it wasn't serious between you two last year. His father, meanwhile, was... quiet. As usual. A man who obviously didn't really say much except ask Jimin about the training program and his siblings' jobs.
Mr. Park didn't really talk to you, just like last year. Like you were almost invisible to him â and you were glad that was the case. He probably didn't like to acknowledge your supposed relationship in the first place. Probably knew that you were working a middle-class job and didn't want to know any further. But at least, he wasn't saying anything. That was nice.
"Where's your cousin?" Asked Jimin's mom suddenly, looking at his son.
"He said he got caught up in traffic. Sent 20 minutes ago." Jimin shrugged. You would ask him about which cousin they were referring to but they had like millions of it at these events so you didn't bother.
Mrs. Park shook her head disapprovingly. "That kid. Always late to the family dinners. Did Junghyun ever teachâ"
"Hey,"
Your attention was then focused to the man who just arrived. Black tie, tall... dashing. Jimin was a good-looking individual and his family, as evil as they may be as per his words, were blessed with good genes. If you were to look at the new man that arrived to the table very carefully, you'd say he almost looked familiar.
"Oh, Junghyun!"
Jimin glanced at you and discreetly mouthed, "Cousin."
"Aunt, happy birthday." He said after laughing at Jimin's mother coos. He looked across the table and continued, "Hi, uncle. Jaeyul, Sunghoon, Jimin." They all greeted him back and you could feel the hairs on your nape starting to stand up when his eyes landed on you once again. "And this is...?"
"Oh, that's Jimin's girlfriend, __." Jaeyul, Jimin's brother said.
"Hi." you greeted him, waving a bit.
"Oh?" Junghyun immediately looked at Jimin, eyes not hiding his shock. When you trained your eyes on Jimin, you felt his fake smile. "That's great, man. I didn't know you had a girlfriend. Hi, miss...?"
"It's __." you filled in.
"Nice to meet you, __." He said with a smile. The more you looked at him, the more you could almost pinpoint who he looked like â but that shouldn't really matter.
Junghyun looked over Jimin's parents once again, "Anyway, sorry I'm a bit late, got caught up in traffic."
Jimin cleared his throat.
"How about you, Junghyun? Got a girlfriend yet?" He asked as soon as Junghyun sat on the opposite side of the long table.
You could see Jimin's mother's curiosity peaking at that.
"Tell us, dear. Last time you were dating Kang Iseul, right? The actress. You're still with her?"
Everybody at the table nodded while you almost choked on the smoked quail you were eating. He was dating Kang Iseul? She was a popular actress who announced a hiatus three years ago. That actress Kang Iseul?
Junghyun chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, aunt, that was my brother, and uh, no, I'm not dating anybody currently."
"Oh well. I just wish your brother stops dating that woman. I never really liked that girl. She acts way too self-righteous! I mean, who cut ties with their billionaire father and live independently just so they can say they're self-made? It's ridiculous." Jimin's mother said in that usual snotty tone of hers, and you could not possibly process all of what was going on.
If it wasn't clear to you a moment ago, it was crystal now. Unfortunately, you were a bit chronically online and were there in real time when one random tweet blew up about Kang Iseul being a nepotism baby. But was this guy's brother really dating her? The most important and concerning thing, though, was that: why was Jimin's mom always so annoying about who her family members date? And this was not even her immediate family, mind you.
"Jina," Jimin's father had a warning tone when he called her but Jimin's mom just shrugged him off with a "tsk!"
"Kids are so ungrateful nowadays, don't you think? Anyway, Junghyun dear, you remember the Kang gala I told you about two months ago?" Jimin's mom looked pointedly at Jimin and you bit your lip.
Of course, here comes her passive aggressive disapproval of you.Â
"Kang Heesu and her sister Kang Hani will be there. Heesu is a wonderful woman," she chuckled, looking over at Jimin's direction subtly. You had to physically restrain yourself from rolling your eyes. Couldn't she be more obvious about acting as a wingman for Jimin and Heesu? But she continued, just like she always did. "I also heard Kang Hani is going for senior partner at Yoon and Yang, you may be interested. Pretty lady."
Junghyun just awkwardly laughed. "I'll keep that in mind."
Jimiin's father suddenly spoke, making everyone look at him.
"Where is that kid?" He said, authority dripping through his voice. Jimin was obviously not close to his father, and who would be? Mr. Park was way too intimidating. You found it funny to think if he ever did anything remotely paternal towards his children.
"We were supposed to go together but he said he had something to finish. He'll be arriving later." Junghyun said, obviously not oblivious to the "kid" Mr. Park was referring to. You were way too uncaring to actually try to figure that out.
"I see." Jimin's father nodded. "How's Jeon and Min, Junghyun? I heard you were just appointed managing partner last week."
Junghyun responded with a "yes" and they started to talk about the law firm â you assumed â and other people they mutually knew related to the business.
You knew Jimin's complicated family tree was composed of all sorts of professionals, but damn, they had lawyers in here too. It was like out of a career day event at grade schools.
"Is it true Gukka's going to be CEO?" Jimin's mother said, joining the conversation.
You were glad they were doing all the talking. Last year, they talked to you like they were interrogating you and that was not nice.
"Well, dad's not giving up the company so soon. Gukka's going for interim CTO first." Junghyun said with a polite smile.
Gukka. That must be the brother of Junghyun, although it sounded more like a nickname than a real name.
"Your brother's a hard worker. He's looking at a CEO position, some are still at training programs." Jimin's father remarked with a pointed tone.
Oh, fuck me, you thought to yourself. You thought it was gonna take awhile for the comparison to start, but it seemed they were determined to beat their record of one hour from last year.
You tried subtly looking at Jimin to see if he was okay or anything, but you felt him squeezing your wrist under the table. His face was devoid of any emotion as he continued with his own food.
Junghyun, meanwhile, was obviously taken aback by the response and also looked over at Jimin. He was quick to recover, though â probably knew that was a jab at his cousin just like every other person in the room. Atmosphere grew tense, and you had to squirm in your seat a little bit.
"Training programs help a lot, though." Junghyun awkwardly laughed. You were starting to feel bad for him as well.
"Well, you're lawyering. Trainings are important. Mine's kinda stupid." Jimin said which made everybody look at him, including you.
"You're learning anything yet, son?" His father pointedly looked at him.
"We'll see."
Jimin's dismissive tone made you feel the eye roll he would've done after saying that.
Look, he rebelled for the most part of his life so him being passive-aggressive towards his family was not a new thing, but to witness it was both nerve-wracking and honestly... funny. His parents were such assholes so they probably deserved his attitude.
Mrs. Park smiled a fake one before looking at you.
"Well, what about you __ dear? You're a... what was that again? How is that going for you?"
Because you wanted to piss them off, you mirrored her fake smile and said, "I got fired six months ago at my accounting job."
"Pftâ"Â you pinched Jimin's arm at his reaction.
Of course he'd laugh at that. You asked him how you could piss his parents off tonight just to get back at them from last year and he told you to pretend to be unemployed or you work a minimum wage job because that was their biggest ick. Jimin didn't know you were going to come through.
"Oh."
The look on Jimin's mom's face looked as if she heard the most scandalous thing ever, and if his father's frown was deep even before the dinner started, his face was now below the ground. It felt satisfying to get those looks on their faces. Good! They were such assholes. Imagine getting devastated at someone being unemployed? Okay â for the record, being unemployed was devastating but these people weren't sympathizing with that, they found it humiliating in an elitist wayâ criminal almost.Â
You nodded, your lips almost getting tired from stretching them too far.
"Yeah. Anyway, I started working at a local burger joint. You should visit us sometime."
"I'm vegan." Jimin's mom said, her face now drained with the fake joy she's worn all night.
"We have vegan options." you quipped. Jimin once again made a sound beside you, hiding his laughter.
"Wait, really? They offer vegan options at a street burger joint?" Sunghoon, the youngest of the Park brothers, asked.
You almost laughed at the genuine curiosity in his voice. He was still in high school and from what Jimin told you, he was a nice kid. He wasn't very close to any of his brothers, though.
"Nah, it's the only one in town." You bullshit one more time, drinking the wine beside you. "Sorry, can I excuse myself for a minute?"
They nodded and you stood up, heading to the bathroom, brisking once you got out of their sight to get there more quickly.
It was now 10:30 pm â meaning, you had to do something to get Jimin out of here now if he wanted to be on time at the airport to send off Namjoon.
Once you got inside, you looked at yourself in the mirror and sighed.Â
This whole thing was sucking the shit out of your soul, but you needed to get through it.
It took you awhile to finish your pep talk in the bathroom.
If only you could've have locked yourself in there to avoid socializing with anybody, you willingly would. But you were running out of time and unfortunately, you had something to do and that was to fake some illness to get both Jimin and you out of here.
When you got out to approach the family's table one more time, you suddenly stopped in your tracks.
The table was at least fifteen meters away from where you stood, but you could clearly see the side in which Jimin's cousin, Junghyun, sat, facing your direction. He wasn't the issue â no, far from it. It was the guy beside him who wore the same set of black tie as him; the face attached to the body who wore it though, was someone you did not expect to see.
Why the fuck was Jungkook, Unit 446, here?!
From where you were, you could see him engaging with Junghyun and Jimin's parents. You couldn't hear them, of course, but it was clear that they were acquainted â close â even from afar.
Why did he look so comfortable with the Parks? Why was he at the family table laughing and conversing with everybody, including Jimin? Why did he seem like he went to many of these, like this was just another Thursday for him?
There was a waiter who walked past you and you were grateful for it because had it not been the case, people would start to get weirded out about you standing on the same place longer than necessary, looking stoned. That was also an opportunity to run away from the situation without Jungkook possibly seeing and recognizing you.
"I'll take this," You told the waiter and grabbed the glass of champagne and quickly turned on your heels, heading to the opposite side of the family table where the Parks, and apparently, Jungkook were.
You found yourself heading to the bathroom again, your feet seemingly developing a mind of its own as it led you there unconsciously. You knew you'd be in trouble if they found out about you putting the champagne glass in the sink, but you needed to get inside the toilet and think over everything that was happening tonight.
What the fuck. What the fuck!  Again, why the hell was Jungkook here?
As far as you knew, he was just a regular man that happened to be living across from you. He was just supposed to be some guy you were regularly hanging out with nowadays. Your friend. Your crush â whatever! What he wasn't supposed to be is be here at your best friend's mother's birthday party and hanging out with his family!
Your phone dinged, a message notification from Jimin welcoming you.
cuntress #1 [10:32pm]:Â girl what happened I saw u going back to the bathroom?
You didn't know why it was suddenly too hot, but you felt the balls of sweat starting to form on the side of your forehead.
You [10:33pm]:Â im going with the diarrhea excuse
cuntress #1 [10:33pm]: tbh idc atp I just wanna go to joon đ
"Shit!"
Right! Joon. Namjoon. Jimin needed to go to Nmajoon as soon as possible.
cuntress #1 [10:33pm]:Â also another cousin has arrived u rmr jeon jungkook he's junghyun's brother cuntress #1 [10:33pm]:Â love this guy but moms starting to compare me to him and I need out right NEOW im justt aking hits after hits jesusssssss
You could just feel the blood draining from your face as soon as you read Jungkook's name in the text.
Jeon Jungkook. Jungkook. Gukka. Kook-a.
That was why the Junghyun guy looked familiar. Because he had the same coloring of Jeon Jungkook. Because they were goddamn siblings.
You started to replay some memories in your head, trying to figure out if you've ever heard Jungkook talk about his family in one of your conversations. But as far as you remembered, he never did. All you knew about him was that he was from the States, and he only got here because of work and he had a dog and as far as you were concerned, his cousin was definitely not Park fucking Jimin, your best friend.
Pacing around the confined space of the toilet, you tried to wrack your brain if you've ever mentioned Jimin to him and in the event that you did, why he never told you that he was his cousin â but you came up blank. Blank because you never told him about your best friend's name... and in turn, Jimin didn't know what Mr. 446's name was, either. They were both genuinely oblivious about the whole thing and couldn't have made you a fool in the situation.
In short, you were the one who was stupid as hell for not connecting the dots sooner.
"Hey, you just landed?"
If it was a private conversation Jimin would've left the room but since he didn't, you decided to stay in bed, kind of listening in to the conversation, but also not, as you turned the volume down of the show you were watching earlier on your laptop.
"Nah, you want me to pick you up?" Jimin sat up on the edge of the bed and you looked at him curiously. "Sure, I'm free, Kook. You have a place to stay? Hotel suite or something?" He nodded to whatever the other person was saying on the other line. "Oh, you're here for three months? Thought you were just flying in for mom's birthday?"
It was moments after they said goodbye that Jimin turned to you to ask, "Well, my cousin's apparently staying here for three months. Got this job thing going on."
"Fuck me." You hissed, remembering that time when Jimin told you about his cousin staying here for three months because of work.
cuntress #1 [10:35pm]: its either ur taking a guinness world record breaker piss there or u really do have diarrhea now and ur shitting cuntress #1 [10:36pm]: anyway get this, jungkook's gonna be interim cto at your company did u know that??????????????????
You almost dropped your phone upon reading the last message.
What the hell did he mean by that?
Heart beating fast as if it wanted to break out of your own ribcage, you closed your eyes and read Jimin's message once again. There was no way he would be shitting you about any of this. He knew where you worked at and you knew your current company was his uncle's, and now that you knew Jungkook was his cousin...
Shit. Was this what they were talking about at the table earlier? About Junghyun saying his brother was gonna be interim CTO? Did he mean Jeon Jungkook all along? Your freaking neighbor?
Suddenly, you remembered the email you received that afternoon that you never bothered to check again because you simply forgot about it. Who even actually checks their work email? Literally no one. You spend your weeks facing your computer while email flew in like porn ads on a shady website, you weren't about to willingly go to the app and check it on your leisure time.
But maybe you should have.
Fingers involuntarily shaking in their wake as you switched to your work email on your phone, you clicked on the recent unread message that was on top from the HR department.
Subject: Invitation to Ceremony: Announcement of Interim CTO Dear Blue Nexus Inc. employee, We hope this email finds you well. We would like to inform you that a ceremony has been scheduled on July 29, 2028, 10:00 am at the AVR Hall 5, 12th floor. The purpose of this meeting is to announce the appointment of our interim Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Mr. Jeon Jungkook. As you may be aware, our previous CTO, Mr. Shin Juman, is currently on medical leave recovering from a stroke. While he is recuperating and undergoing treatment, it has become necessary for us to appoint an interim CTO for an indefinite period of time to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of our operations. Your presence at this ceremony is highly valued as we introduce the new leadership to the team and outline our strategic direction moving forward. Light refreshments will be served. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to seeing you at the ceremony. Best regards, HR Department
You knew that feeling when you were just taking hits and hits? This was it.
So not only was Jeon Jungkook Jimin's cousin, he was also gonna be the interim CTO of the company you were currently working at. He was technically going to be your boss, and you would be both working in the same place all the while living across each other where he would see you taking out your trash every Sunday morning in your worn-out highschool PE shirt and pants. He was going to be your boss working at the company you complained to him about on the nights you walked together to your shared apartment complex.
You flirted with Jungkook. You flirted with the guy who was the son of the owner of your whole company building â and not only that, he was your best friend's cousin, to add salt to injury.
You [10:38pm]:Â jimin we need to get out of here
cuntress #1 [10:38pm]:Â ive been saying
You [10:38pm]:Â but i cant go out there again. Just tell them i had a problem in the bathroom??
cuntress #1 [10:38pm]: ok on it cuntress #1 [10:38pm]: im kind of convinced u shitted in there tho????????
You rolled your eyes, but at the same time found an opportunity in that. Jimin can't know the truth.
You [10:39pm]:Â u cant judge me for having a very human experience fuck u the cake i ate earlier was giving cake boss
cuntress #1 [10:39pm]:Â KJAHFKGSIDFHDSHASFHSKJBF
You [10:39pm]:Â im literally doing this for u and joon
cuntress #1 [10:39pm]: IKNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks to ur stomach problems cuntress #1 [10:39pm]: im going there
You [10:40pm]:Â make sure they don't see us again to really sell the whole im-embarassed-thing
cuntress #1 [10:40pm]:Â ON IT! Were going out the back door I don't think they'll notice
You couldn't even find it in you to laugh a little bit at your silly exchange and scheme, because you were way too stressed about what you just found out.
You let out a controlled, heavy breath, leaning your back on the door and shut your eyes aggressively.
"What the hell am I gonna do after this?"

Character: Xavier x fem reader
CW: 18+ only, sexual content/smut, explicit language, drunkenness, dubcon, teasing, light bdsm (some CWs apply to other parts)
Misc: ~1.8k words, Part 2
About: After your date, once Xavier draws the curtains closed, he wants to show you how good he can make you feel
*Do not remove info or credit from posts when reblogging or sharing!*
"XavierâŠâ you respond back with slight embarrassment in your voice. You can feel your face getting warm, not sure if it's from being flustered, drunk, or a mix of both. But your train of thought is cut short when you feel Xavierâs lips against the nape of your neck. His lips are so soft and melt into your skin as he kisses you. You can feel his hot breath tumbling down onto your skin, raising goosebumps in its path. Between every kiss you hear him exhale lazily, drunkenly, lustfully. Each moan becomes less breathy and more gutteral.
Xavierâs kisses move down your neck to your shoulder while he slowly begins to circle around you. You're still kneeling on his bed, the top of your dress hanging at your waist. Your eyelids so heavy from sleepiness and the alcohol, but trying so hard to stay awake so that you can burn this into your brain forever. Xavier had always flirted with you, he wasn't really shy about how he felt. But you didn't think the night would lead to this, and you aren't going to let yourself be too drunk to remember it.
Once Xavier makes it around to your front, he cups your cheek, eyes lingering on you for what feels like forever. Even in this darkness you can see how red his face has become. He really is drunk⊠you didn't think it was possible, but then again you don't recall him ever drinking much. You see him blinking slowly, eyes trying to focus each time, another sign attesting to his drunkenness.
Xavier sighs as his fingers drag down from your cheek, down your neck, to your chest.
âHow did I get so lucky to be spending a night like this with you?" Xavier puts his hand in the small of your back, and gently guides you so that you lay back down onto the bed. He crawls up over you, staring at your exposed chest. He leans down and kisses your collarbone, then your sternum, and eventually the top of your breast.
âTonight is all about you, my love," Xavier says as he kisses your breast again, his lips sinking into the suppleness of them. âLet me show you how good I can make you feel." Xavier whispers before leaning down to gently lick your nipple. You feel your nipple harden immediately with just one swipe of his tongue. Xavier moans quietly as he sucks it gently in his mouth, swirling his tongue around it, like he's tasting something sweet and enjoyable. As he massages it with his tongue, you also feel his hands running all over your body, wanting to feel every inch of you.
Suddenly you feel Xavierâs kisses trail down to your stomach, pulling your dress down as he moves. He pauses for a moment to lay his face down on your tummy.
âYour skin is so soft, I could take a nap here," Xavier says while gently rubbing his cheek against your stomach. âI love this part of you, too." But Xavier fights the tiredness and continues kissing your body. He makes it down to your underwear, and you instinctively reach out to stop him.
âXavier, wait, I⊠are you sure? You don't have toâŠâ you say, realizing what he was about to do.
"I know I don't have to,â Xavier whispers, even though the two of you are alone. "But I want to. I want to kiss and taste every inch of you.â Xavier says, but giving you no time to respond before his face ends up between your thighs. Your back arches in response, hands shooting forward and fingers spread. Xavier reaches up with one hand and laces his fingers with yours, wanting so much to hold your hand, even now.
He begins by laying gentle kisses on the inside of your thighs, sometimes nuzzling his face on them. His kisses start closing in between them, when you finally feel his hot tongue on your most sensitive area, causing that spring inside your tummy to tighten. You immediately moan out loud and you hear Xavier chuckle gently to himself against you.
âAll those times you'd poke and prod at me, I told you I'd get you back⊠catch you after sundownâŠâ Xavier says between licks. While he speaks to you teasingly, you feel his fingers run through your wetness and gently start circling you clit. "You're so wet,â he says almost in astonishment, since he really only just got started.
"Because it feels so good.â You manage to say between your breathy moans.
"That's all I want,â Xavier says, kissing your thigh again. He suddenly slides his fingers inside you. Suddenly, but so delicately. How does he know how to do all of this so well? You start to wonder, but think maybe it's for the best if you don't know. You don't want to start getting jealous now.
âIs this okay? Does it hurt at all?" Xavier asks while looking up at you like a puppy, his eyes wide open and eyebrows narrowed, waiting for a response. After you shake your head no, Xavier moves back down between your thighs and starts licking you while his fingers are buried inside of you. The double stimulation is almost enough to send you over the edge, just like that.
You instinctively reach down to run your fingers through Xavier's hair, not quite sure what to do with yourself because of how good it feels. You momentarily giggle to yourself though, because you can feel how hot Xavierâs ears are, and wonder how red they've become from the alcohol. His tongue feels so hot against you, his saliva pooling below you on his bed. Normally youâd worry about that, but right now youâre too drunk and too turned on to care.
Eyes closed and head sunken into Xavierâs bed, you can hear every sound in his room amidst the complete silence. The gentle ticking of his clock, the softness of his pillows as your head sinks into them, and the absolute wet lapping of Xavierâs tongue against your clit. You can feel yourself clenching down there when you suddenly hear Xavier trying to suck up some of the wetness thatâs dripping down you. Xavier⊠sucking it all up, yes his saliva but also your own wetness. You feel your face turning even more red now at the thought of it. Xavier suddenly starts moaning almost pleadingly as he licks and sucks you.
âYou taste so sweet,â he says trying to catch his breath, âI couldnât help myself.â You feel Xavier pull his fingers out of you and look down expecting him to stop, when you lock eyes with him. He slides his fingers into his mouth and closes his eyes, moaning. âSo sweet.â
You cover your face in embarrassment for having watched him do that, even though it was really fucking hot. Does he really like the taste? Or is he just really drunk and lustful?
Xavier crawls back up over you, chest moving in and out quickly as he starts panting. He looks down at you, and momentarily averts his eyes, covering his mouth from embarrassment himself. He eventually looks back at you though, and his cheeks and ears are entirely beet red. You reach up to touch his face, but Xavier takes your hand and kisses it. He takes your hand and puts it on his chest over his heart, eyes never leaving your face.
âMy heart has never beat so fast before.â Xavier admits. âThis shows how much IâŠâ his eyes look away again as he blushes more. When he looks back at you, he cups your face with his hand, placing his forehead down on yours. âHow much I love you.â He whispers, then chuckles at himself faintly, as if relieved to have finally said it.
âXavierâŠâ you say while putting your hand over his. âYouâre⊠just drunkâŠâ Xavierâs head snaps up to look back at you, eyes looking at you pleadingly.
âNo, I⊠I mean, I am⊠but I mean it. I really do.â Xavier slowly leans in and kisses your lips so softly, making a gentle smacking sound when his lips pull away from yours. âI love you, and I love every part of you. I want to be close to you⊠to make you feel good.â Xavier kisses you again, even deeper this time. He breathes heavily and you can feel his body almost squirming above you.
Itâs now that you notice the bulge that has been pressing up against your thigh. Xavier has been trying so hard to not keep rubbing against you, but heâs losing that fight. If this was any other person, youâd think that they look pathetic above you the way Xavier looks right now. Eyes looking at you desperately, hard on rubbing against you almost involuntarily now, panting out loud. But because itâs Xavier, all thatâs doing is turning you on and making you want him even more,
âCan I,â he pants, speaking between each breath, rubbing against you each time, âplease⊠show you⊠how much⊠I love you?â
Mere seconds after nodding your head yes, Xavier grabs your face and pulls you into the deepest kiss youâve ever had. Not needing to hold back anymore, he immediately starts moaning and panting while he kisses you, every second turning him on even more. You feel Xavier start licking your lips between kisses and you feel your clit start burning from arousal.
He breaks free from your lips for just a second to take off his pants and underwear, the last of his clothes, as you slip the rest of your dress and underwear off as well.
Your eyes have adjusted to the darkness, but his room was still extremely dark. You couldnât really see very well between that and your hazy drunk vision. But you do see Xavierâs slim and extremely toned body moving towards you. Not able to wait any longer, Xavier runs himself through your wetness. Heâs already incredibly hard from going down on you and kissing you.
As Xavier gets ready to enter you, he leans down again and starts kissing you deeply. He wants to hear you react to him entering you, to know how good it feels. When he finally slides inside of you, your head falls further, a loud moan escaping through your lips into his. You feel him throb inside of you after you moan. Xavier starts off gently pumping in and out of you, assessing how much of his length he can fill you with. Once he starts getting into a good pace, he grabs your hand, locking eyes with you.
Xavier holds your hand to his chest, light starting to shine out from both of you. You suddenly feel the heat from your arousal spread further into you, Xavier feeling even hotter and more engorged inside of you. You moan out loud, covering your mouth with your other hand in surprise. Xavier grins slyly and chuckles, pumping into you a little deeper and faster now.
âAre you ready to see those stars?â He moans into your ear.

My Fanfiction Master List
All fics can also be found on my AO3.
The following have accidentally turned into a series, although each can be read as a standalone.
Mostly Astarion x female Tav / reader, with appearances from other companions.
To summarise: a take on Astarion's relationship progression with a hectic, unhinged bardlock Tav. Mostly humour and banter, fluff with light angst. And then there's the smut.
Ongoing series
Bloodbang Chronicles - post-game continuation of my bardlock series (see below), Astarion x f!OC - Astarion and Asmodea are running a cabaret. Shit goes down, hilarity ensues. The horrors persist, but so do they.
Masterlist | chapter 1 of 12 (so far) - start here
One-shot series:
Fluff etc
In chronological order, as they would take place in-game:
Where my nice, simple plan fell apart - scenes of Astarion x Tav relationship progression in Act 1 generally
Another Gift - Tav tries to comfort or distract a brooding Astarion, reflections on vampirism / Astarion's past
Mark me as yours (Astarion POV) - takes place the morning after 'Missionary with the lights off' (filed below under smut) - a day of pining in camp in the life of Astarion
Down by the river (alternating POV) - 18+, takes place immediately after 'Mark me as yours' - Astarion and Tav spend a night by the river, away from camp
Something real (Astarion POV) - An evening in camp, Astarion and Tav are finally alone
Are you mine? (Astaion POV) - just flirty pillow talk and comfort
Gentle Warding Bond - short & sweet, Astarion finds the "true love's caress" and "true love's embrace" rings in the Shadow-Cursed lands and makes a decision
Admit that you love me - Act 2, Gale fucks around and finds out, Lae'zel becomes poetic and Astarion most certainly does not tell you that he loves you
Confession (Astarion POV) - title self-explanatory, love confession, tooth-rotting sweetness
The Morning After - short fic, follow-up to 'Confession', morning in camp - banter, humour, etc
Intimacy - Astarion's struggle with sex and intimacy, includes some fairly softcore smut
Communication - It has been nice, but it's time Tav and Astarion actually figured out what it is they're doing and what comes next
A night at the inn (part 1) - the gang gets a chance to let loose for a while. Humour, banter, and a lead-up to something smutty to come [Parts 2 & 3 under smut]
Smut
Also part of series.
Missionary with the lights off - Uh. Some really mindblowing sex here. No, really. Porn with plot, fluff to smut
Seeing stars - Astarion is jealous. What's more, he's eager to prove that no one could possibly compete with him.
A remedy for sleeplessness - porn no plot, Tav can't sleep and Astarion takes matters into his own hands
What do you want to do with it? - porn no plot, dirty talk, 'use your words', oral sex (male receiving) (kinda)
A night at the inn (part 2) - porn, Astarion x Halsin x F!Tav/Reader, dirty talk, oral sex, PIV and more
A night at the inn (part 3) - continuation of porn, Astarion x Halsin x F!Tav/Reader, vampire bites as an aphrodisiac edition
Sweat - porn with plot. Astarion, Halsin and Tav become a triad after the fall of the Netherbrain. This is a story of how it begins, progresses, and eventually ends. [Most recently posted oneshot]
The Sheath of Frontiers - Wyll's never been with a man. Astarion and Tav decide this must be rectified. (and yes that was an anal pun)
Challenges, shorts and misc
2024 Kinktober masterlist - a ficlet following a different prompt for each day of October 2024
'Erotic Misadventures' - my entry for the BG3 April Foolishness challenge: 'write something spicy that uses the worst possible terms for body parts, sex acts'. Reader beware.
Apples - Very important questions are asked and answered about vampires, their warped sense of taste, and pussy
Untitled - Ask reply HC, Astarion accidentally attacks Tav during a nightmare
A cut - Tav accidentally cuts themselves, and Astarion scampers over like a cat to a can of tuna
Untitled - Ask reply, bonus scene following Seeing Stars - jealous giddy Astarion enacts revenge on Wyll after his failed awkward dance seduction attempt
'Gentle Warding Bond' should rightfully be here also, but it's too relevant to the 'plot' if you can call it that
Other / not my Tav
I thought I lost you - Written for a Valentine's Day exchange for astarioffsimpmain - Astarion x plus-sized Tav / Reader - angst with happy ending, mild smut
The Witching Hour - Written for an autumn / Halloween exchange for tragedybunny, Astarion x Sera - light angst, hurt/comfort
Asmodea - my OC bardlock headcanons etc
(the lady in all the above fics)
Commission - Asmodea and Astarion in Bloodbang Chronicles
Commission - Asmodea and Astarion post-game
Gifted art from Valentine's Day exchange
Gifted art from Halloween exchange
Some screenshots, also here and here
Asmodea x Astarion kinky NSFW alphabet
OC Questionnaire
OC more in-depth questionnaire
Another 'get to know your Tav' post
OC songs and outfits
Why my Tav fell for Astarion
Why Astarion fell for my Tav
OC (i.e. Asmodea's, not mine) MBTI results for shits and giggles
Wow the tumblr search function really sucks, can't find jack shit through it. Anyway.
P.S. I am a whore for comments, and nothing sparks joy and feeds further inspiration quite like a simple "HHHNNNNNG ASFKJAGJLKSJF" in comments or reblog tags. And no fic is too old to receive comments on - they are ALWAYS a joy.
P.P.S Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like to be added to a taglist. :) And if so, do let me know if there are any categories you would prefer to be excluded from.

Joey B Blurbs: Smile
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
Summary: Joeâs learning his new girlfriend's ways, along with attempting to get bonus points with her dad.
Warnings: Pure fluff, illusions to smut at the end
Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader
Imagine Universe: Misc.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
April 9, 2024
Y/n and I have been together for a month.
We met at a party Sam had at his house a few months back, she was his girlfriendâs college roommate and they were best friends still today.
The second Iâd laid eyes on y/n, I was taken aback by her beauty.
Sam had noticed, and a sly smile was on his lips when he spoke the words Iâd forever be thankful for.
âGo talk to her. Sheâs single.â - Sam
I had done as Sam said, and we hit it off immediately. By the end of the night, I worked up the courage to ask for her number.
Eventually, I asked her out on a date, and we ended up having the best time.
The rest is history and now we've been dating for a month.
We have a lot in common, but I realized the other day that we don't have the same taste in music.
I liked rap, pop, indie.
On the other hand, y/n loved oldies. Old rock, old soul, and anything 60âs, 70âs, 80âs.
I learned that the other day when I picked her up from her apartment to hang out at my place.
When she was in my passenger seat, y/n controlled the music, and when she shuffled her playlist, I realized I knew nothing.
âDo you know this?â - you
âUh⊠no.â - Joe
âYouâve never heard My Girl by The Temptations?!â - you
After she left that night, I found the exact song that she played earlier. Y/n told me it was one of her favorite songs, and I knew I had to learn it.
1965?! JesusâŠ
I played it over and over. Over and over.
At the gym, in the shower, in my car, over a speaker at the house, in my headphones while playing video games. I was listening to this song as much as possible.
At times, I wondered why I was going through all of this trouble, but the song answered it for me.
My girl, my girl, my girl.
ââ
âJoey!!â - you
âHey, baby.â - Joe
Y/n just arrived at my place for the evening and our sleepover. I was in the kitchen preparing dinner and for the rest of the day. Weâd eat dinner together and probably cuddle for a bit before going to sleep.
If only she knew the surprise I had in store for her.
âI missed you.â - you
âMissed you too.â - Joe
She wrapped her arms around my middle as mine went to her waist. When y/n pulled away, I leaned down and kissed her soft lips. The chokehold this woman has on me is insane.
âCâmere, I wanna show you something.â - Joe
âWhat is it?â - you grin
I took her hand and led her to the middle of the kitchen, waking away for a second to click play on my phone that was connected to my speaker.
Her face lit up immediately when she heard the beginning of one of her favorite songs.
âWhat are you doing?â - you giggled
âCâmere. Dance with me.â - Joe
âYou don't know this song!â - you
She said that just as the lyrics started, and y/n was surprised to see me sing along with it.
âWhat are you doing?â - you
âDance with me!â - Joe
The look of surprise never left y/nâs face as she joined me in dancing around the kitchen.
I spun her around and pulled her close, dipping her shortly after.
âThis is so fun.â - you grinned
âIâm surprised you're able to dance with me, I have two left feet.â - Joe
âYouâre perfect, I promise.â - you
We grinned as we sang the chorus to each other, I could tell that y/n was loving every second of this.
Talkinâ âbout my girl, my girl
Y/n stepped back and spun around before running back into my arms, a slight pain in my cheeks from how much I was smiling.
In the last fifteen seconds of the song, we stood still, y/nâs arms around my neck and her hands connected at my nape while my arms were around her waist. Our foreheads rested against each other as we stared into each otherâs eyes.
As the song faded out, we leaned in, and our lips softly met together. The beginning of a kiss and the ending of the song.
Y/nâs voice was quiet as she spoke, her voice muffled since her face was now pressed to my chest.
âThat was the sweetest thing a guyâs ever done for me.â - you
âYeah?â - Joe smiled
âI canât believe you learned that whole song for me.â - you
âWell, after a conversation with your dad, he told me that you wanted that song at your wedding, so that means I kinda have to learn it.â - Joe
I regretted saying it as soon as it left my lips; we'd only been together for a month and never once talked about a future. Fuck I've messed up.
Y/n pulled away from my chest and looked up at me, the look in her eyes made my heart stop.
âWait- forget I said that, I'm sorry.â - Joe
âNo. No, it's okay.â - you smiled
I nervously laughed, the super breathy kind that tells on your emotions.
âYeah?â - Joe
âYeah. You're right, better to learn it sooner than later.â - you grinned
âYou wanna marry me someday?â - Joe
âWhen the time comes, yes. There's a lot I want to do before that day rolls around, but I canât picture walking down the aisle to anyone else.â - you
âGood. You don't think we're rushing things by having this conversation after only being together for a month?â - Joe
âYou can't rush the inevitable, baby.â - you
I thought for a few seconds before blurting out something I'd been thinking since the moment I laid eyes on this woman.
âI love you.â - Joe
My heart was beating out of my chest when her eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped.
âY-you do?â - you
âYes, we just talked about marrying each other didn't we?â - Joe chuckled
I laughed to cover up my nervousness, but I don't think it worked. She hasn't said it back yet. If she was going to wouldn't she have said it back by now?
âDo you⊠do you love me?â - Joe
Y/nâs face fell from shock to amused, a laugh escaping her lips in the process.
âWait- shit. Did I not say it back yet?â - you
âNo.â - Joe states, face not changing
âOh! I must've just said it in my head then, I was a little in shock.â - you giggled
Laughing together, when we settled down, I stared at her and waited for her to say it back.
âI love you too, Joe.â - you smiled
ââ
Later that night, y/n was in the shower, and I was already in bed.
I grinned to myself as I clipped the video I secretly took earlier when we were dancing in the kitchen.
Better cut it off before we kiss, I thought to myself.
Pulling up her dadâs contact in my phone, I sent him the video and a small text with it.
I'm learning! :)
I waited for his reply, a little nervous to see what he'd say back. I knew he liked me, but this was still his daughter we were dealing with.
When my phone vibrated, I immediately picked it up and clicked on his message.
Atta boy! I havenât seen her smile like that in a long time, and I know it's because of you that she lights up like that again. Thank you for giving my daughter the treatment she deserves.
Thereâs nothing I love more than making her smile, she's already such a big part of my life. You're welcome, by the way, she deserves nothing but the best.
She feels the same way about you, son. I know she's spending the night at your house tonight, by the way, and I wasn't born yesterday, so stay safe. đ
Will do. đ
Just as I hit send, the door of the bathroom opened, but the shower was still on.
Y/n poked her head out of the door with a playful grin on her face.
âI know I'm supposed to be showering, but I canât stop thinking about you. Wanna hop in with me?â - you winked
âOh, hell yeah!â - Joe
I jumped off of the bed and ran towards the bathroom, simultaneously shoving my boxers down my legs. Y/n giggled as I chased after her and jumped into the shower.
She wrapped her arms around my neck as was started making out, the water flowing over our bodies.
âI was just talking to your dad.â - Joe
âJoe, why would you talk about my dad right before we're probably about to have sex?!â - you
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ-

misc. masterlist | the crescendo (pt. ii)
Quick, fast, and in a hurry.
Thatâs the mantra you always lived your life by, passed down from generation to generation. Raised in the most independent hoard of women, you were taught that you didnât have a choice. You have to work hard, diligently, fast in order to get things done. There is no sulking, no thinking, no waiting. If you want something done, youâll do it yourself and youâll do it with a brisk ease. Everything in life is a taskâ even finding someone you want to spend your life with.
While you have some hesitancy about putting the petal to the metal when it comes to loveâwhat with the failed marriages of your mother, and her mother and motherâ you know no other way. You know no other way, until you met Joel Miller.
Joel trudges into your bar one night and you canât take your eyes off of him. His eyes are a warm brown that rivals the shine of amber, his jacket a bit dusty, his hair a little wild. Heâs moving a bit slowly, rubbing at his back when he takes a seat on the stool a couple strides down the bar from you. You wrap things up with the patron in front of you, sliding their food order down the bar to a runner before making your way to this mystery man.
You lean over the bar with a cheeky grin, pushing your cleavage together, âWhat can I get you? It's on the house.â
âWhiskey, a double. It ainât good manners not to pay,â He murmurs, throwing down a couple bills.
Your interest is further piqued. Whatâs a southern man like him doing in a place up so north? You wonder where heâs from, what his life was like before coming to live in a city such as this one.
âIsnât it rude to refuse good hospitality?â
He shrugs, the tiniest smile on his face, âI personally like to take my flirtinâ a little slower.â
You tilt your head, raising a brow at him, âBut not your conclusion jumping? Who says I was flirting?â
âYouâre not very good at being discreet about your stare, sweetheart.â
Your face grows extremely hot, and for a moment you open your mouth to give him a rebuttal but soon close it once you realize you donât have one. Instead, you murmur something about his drink and turn away to fetch a glass and a bottle of whiskey. When you return, your pour is fast. Youâd been eager to talk to him and now you couldnât be more eager to get away.
The man leans across the bar, as he takes the drink from your hand, careful not to touch you. âIâm sorry.â
âNo need to be. Can I get you anything else?â The words fly out of your mouth, almost slurring together with how quickly you say them.
âYou just canât slow down, can you there, honey?â His tone isn't unkind or condescending, just observant. You find yourself growing defensive anyway.
âIt's a bar, it comes with the territory.â
âSo does the quick flirtinâ?â
âI know what I want and I go after it. Whatâs so wrong with that?â
âDoesnât give you much time to appreciate things,â He says thoughtfully.
âRight.â
âIâm interested, darlinâ. I am. But letâs take our feet off the gas. Iâm Joel,â He introduces himself, holding a hand out to you.
You take it, unable to look away from his warm, inviting eyes despite his hesitancy. And that was the simple, slow start of you and Joel.
Syrupy slow. Thick as molasses.
â
It takes weeks for Joel to ask you on a proper date. Heâs said he was interested, and clearly was by how often he frequented the bar you work at. Heâd order the same double, sit at your end of the bar, and then the two of you would chat between patrons. Heâs charming and hilarious, and so godly fucking slow at dating. If it wasnât endearing, if he wasnât so handsome you wouldnât give him the time of day.
Itâs nearing the end of the third week you two have done this but itâs Friday, and tonight Joel stays until your shift is over so he can walk you to your car. He even helps you clean once all the other patrons are out, wiping down the bar for you as you finish loading glasses in the dishwasher.
The summer air is a little chilly once you two exit the bar, and Joel notices the way you shiver in your tiny little topâ the one that shows cleavage that he tries to be conscious of, that he tries not to look at. Heâs successfulâŠmost of the time.
âSâa little dusty, but here,â He murmurs, shrugging out of the jacket heâs wearing, gently draping it around your shoulder.
Itâs shit like this that keeps your heart so tender for a man you havenât even held hands with. Youâve wondered if itâs just his southern charm, or if someone before you had hurt him and made him more mindful of the way he pursues women.
His gesture has your heart fluttering, palms growing slick like youâre back in high school, having your first date with Nathan from second period. Sometimes you think about what your family might say about Joel. That heâs too traditional, that he probably wants you barefoot and pregnant in his kitchen, a ring on your hand. But, you donât get that vibe from him. You think that maybe he just wants to treat you well, and maybe you finally think you deserve something like that. Even if itâs moving much slower than you would prefer.
âThank you, Joel,â You say, feeling uncharacteristically shy.
Something about Joel and his soft, slow intensity is different than anything you've ever had before. Once to your car, you start to slip out of his jacket but he shakes his head.
âKeep it, darlinâ. Iâll come get it tomorrow?â
âTomorrow?â
âWondered if I could take you out to dinner tomorrow since you're off.â
âFinally,â You huff playfully, grinning at him.
If youâre not mistaken, Joel blushes, scratching the nape of his neck. âAlright, alright, don't you start now.â
âIâm just giving you a hard time. You know we could do breakfast insteadâ or lunch,â You suggest, feeling a little impatient. Did you really want to wait the entire day to see him?
âDinner,â He repeats, a knowing grin on his face. âBe patient, girl.â
âFine, fine. Dinner, Iâll just twiddle my thumbs all day.â
âWe both know youâll be runninâ around like a chicken with its head cut off by 10 a.m.â
It feels good that he knows you. You laugh, nodding begrudgingly. Heâs rightâ it might even be earlier than that.
âJust make sure you pace yourself on the coffee.â
âI make no promises. Goodnight, Joel.â
For the first time since your handshake, Joel touches you. He takes your hand into his, helping you into your car, and before shutting the door behind you, he presses a chaste kiss to your skin. Warmth spreads slowly through your hand, creeping up your arm and neck, into your cheeks.
âGoodnight, honey.â
â
Joel doesnât touch you again the entire night. Heâs careful when you return his jacket, careful when heâs guiding you, only letting his hand ghost behind you as you walk. Itâs driving you nuts. You wore a silk dress, floral and clingy in all the right placesâ even wore a flower in your hair to match, and still there was nothing. Well, he had called you beautiful, so beautiful to be exact, when you answered the door.
During dinner, he told you about his daughters, Sarah and Ellie. Things sort of clicked, of course, he would want to take things slow when there are children involved. He doesnât speak ill of Sarahâs mother when he mentions that they co-parent, explains that Ellie is sort of a stray he ended up taking in. Itâs impossible to miss the way he lights up when speaking about his girls. He says that Sarah welcomed Ellie with open arms, that theyâre nearly inseparable and do nothing but give him a hard time together.
You donât say it, but you hope that one day youâll get to meet them. With your disposition, you wouldnât be opposed to meeting them right now. But thatâs now how this works, especially not with Joel in the driverâs seat.
You respect it. You respect him. It doesnât stop you from being a little forward when he walks you to your door.
âDo you want to come in?â
Joel gives you a shy smile, shaking his head. âYou know the answer to that, sweetheart.â
You nod, pouting a little. Joel thinks itâs adorable, and wants to reach out and run a thumb over the swell of your bottom lip to push away. But he knows you, and the moment he laid his hands on you, youâd bounce on him. Heâs not sure heâd be able to resist, even with his reservations.
âWell, there was no harm in me trying,â You say salaciously, raising a brow at him.
âI appreciate your eagerness, but weâre still takinâ this slow.â
âI know, I respect it, Joel. Itâs just not something Iâm used to.â
He doesnât like the way you deflate a little, as if youâre feeling some sort of shame. Heâd never want you to feel that way.
He takes a step forward, cupping your cheek gently, âYou know thereâs nothinâ wrong with taking things fast, honey. But, I think this is good for the both of us. How does it feel?â
How does it feel? When you get beyond the initial impatience, the clumsiness of not always flirting and immediately getting physical, it feelsâŠcertainly different, and maybe good. Really good. To know his interests, and intentions, his values, and pieces of his life before diving in head first. Yeah, it feels good. Because there is no making things work as they come at youâ Joel is slowly showing you what you get with him, proving as time inches forward that you two fit together just fine.
You donât have to rush into it to make him stay. He just will.
That restless energy you feel like you were born with settles as you try to formulate your answer. How could you tell him all of that without seeming like you were rushing into things feeling perfectly right?
You decide to keep it vague, feeling a little nervous for once. âIt feels good. Nice. DifferentâŠnot what Iâm used to, but nice.â
Joelâs thumb slowly skates across your cheek, trying to soothe you. His voice is a soft gravelly hum. âFeels good for me too, sweetheart.â
Heâs making your head foggy, with his gently dominant disposition. Unable to stop yourself, you lean further into his palm, enjoying the callousness here and there. His eyes donât leave yours, as if theyâre looking into you and not just at you. His presence is overwhelming, a single glance from him consuming you. You find yourself trembling slightly despite the dreadfully warm air tonight.
Joel bends slightly, his nose just an inch away from ghosting yours. âIâm gonna kiss you now, alright?â
You make a soft, affirmative sound, the ability to find your voice escaping you.
Itâs so slow. So Joel. It feels like the slow drip of caramelized sugar. Like a snail making its way across the pavement. Your brain slips away further there's nothing but warmth and happiness and pleasure as Joel kisses you on your porch. He presses his mouth to yours, guiding your head back with the hand that still cups your cheek. He takes your hand, bringing it up so that you mirror his actions. Once your hand is there his drops away, taking your other hand and guiding it to his chest.
He wants you to feel. To take this moment to stop time and not get lost in it, not drift away like you were before. He wants you to stay present, to savor every languid stroke of his tongue against yours.
And as if you can feel him saying that through the simple connection of lips, you become sharply aware of what the sensation of kissing Joel Miller feels like.
How his lips are as soft as they look, his tongue tasting of the dark ale he drank at dinner. How the shadow of a beard that trails his jaw tickles at your palm. How firm and solid and warm his chest feels beneath your fingertips. More than thatâ both of his hands now cup your face with a gentle intimacy youâve never experienced, not even with others who have seen and touched much more of your body than he has.
Despite sinking into him and his patience, thereâs a hunger inside of you that you canât ignore. You give into your urges and instruments. Itâs as if this was the calm before the stormâ the storm being you, starting to clutch him closer, kiss him deeper, frantically so.
Joel chuckles into your mouth when he feels the way you start to pillage him; thereâs no other word for it. Your message is as clear as his: you want more and you want it now.
âDown, girl,â He slurs into your mouth, getting a grip on your hands and gently prying them from the fabric of his flannel.
âSorry,â You whisper, completely breathless. You take a step back towards the door, your expression apologetic. âSometimesâ most of the time, I get a little carried away. I didnât mean to cross a line.â
âYou didnât cross a lineâ at least not one I donât eventually intend to cross,â He assures you softly, taking a step forward to maintain proximity to you.
It makes butterflies flutter in your tummy even as you laugh, nodding in understanding. He was being genuine despite moving slower than molasses. Heâs worth the wait. At least that confirms the worst of your worries. Heâd said from the day you met he was interested but there was a silly part of youâ insecure and swirly, you try not to engage with it muchâ that thought that maybe he was just being a gentleman. Taking pity on you, giving you the time of day to boost your confidence and spare your feelings.
âWhat do think about say to us doinâ this again next week, sweetheart?â
âI thinkâŠI would really like that, Joel.â
âGreat. Now hold your horses and let me kiss you again.â
He does that thing again like he did last night, his voice infused with honey, low and delicious as he crowds you up against your door. The combination is threatening to make your legs give out and you brace yourself by the doorknob, looking up at him with eager eyes.
Joel kisses you breathless once more, taking both of your wrists in his grasp if only to keep you at bay, and maybe to feel soft your skin is under his palmsâŠhow you let him take the lead despite it being a new concept. The thought has his cock stirring and he pulls away, knowing that heâs pressed his luck enough with you tonight.
He raises his eyebrows, unable to keep the smirk off his face. âGoodnight, honey.â
âGoodnight, Joel,â You murmur, feeling tingly all over.
You let yourself in and watch Joel walk to his car through the screendoor. And when he pulls off, he gives you a cute little wave, one that you return, warmth blooming in your chest.
Joel and his sweet southern charm, sweeping you off your feet.

His first
Masterlist - Horror masterlist - Misc.
Kenneth "Leatherface" Slaughter x female reader
Part 1
Summary: You finally confessed and Kenny is torn between sweet memories and self-doubt.
Notes: *sigh* I still just want that old man to be happy...đ„č so here is some smut đ
Warnings: smut (18+), alcohol
Reader: short female reader, female genitals but no other details mentioned
Part 2
Kenneth groaned, fighting off the harsh awakening by the jackhammer pounding within his skull. His hand darted around frantically until it eventually grasped the edge of the curtains, hastily pulling them shut. He blinked slowly, relieved that the bright morning sun had ceased its invasion of his room with its disgustingly bright rays. His entire body froze as he suddenly grew all too aware of the soft breaths coming from your naked body nestled against his. It almost felt as if...panic clawed violently at his chest, his trembling hand cautiously lifted the blanket, confirming his fears. Both of you were lying in his bed...naked...his lips parted as a silent scream passed them and his breath grew increasingly erratic. His mind was blank, a gaping void instead of whatever happened yesterday. Why couldn't he remember yesterday? Why was he trapped in this situation? Did he...? With you of all people? He gasped at the sudden bits and pieces of memories flooding back into his mind, his gaze falling upon the empty liquor bottle resting on the small table across the room.
He had just draped a blanket over Ma, who had dozed off on the sofa, when he noticed you making your way upstairs with a bottle in hand. The two of you settled on his bed while you talked about your past, how you'd ended up in Harlow and how much he meant to you. Your fingers nervously intertwined with his and he continued to take sips of the bottle, his mind trying to overthrow years of abuse and doubt in favour of the love you were willing to give him, right until he felt the room spinning around him. He got up, almost loosing his balance as he stumbled towards the table to place the bottle on it, unaware of the feeling that would hit him the moment he turned around to face you. The way you looked at him pierced right through his heart, those doe eyes brimming with all the affection and love for him. Fear, sadness and a strangely beautiful happiness waged war within him, a struggle of the heart alone since the alcohol had discarded his brain from the equation. As soon as he sank back onto the bed, you shifted, straddling him while you playfully nudged the tip of his nose with his, inching closer for another kiss. Freed from all his usual reservations, his hands instinctively moved to the small of your back, gently caressing downwards before digging his fingers into the soft flesh of your butt, grinding you against him. A sinful moan rumbled in his chest and his half-hard cock stirred beneath your movements. The twinkle in your eyes changed, replaced by a hint of worry and his stomach churned as fear resurfaced.
"Have you ever...", you shyly asked, pausing mid-sentence as you gestured towards your lips and then his.
He shook his head, pointing towards you before holding up one finger, nodding when you asked if it meant that you were his first.
"Oh", such a simple sound of surprise before you went silent, your gaze drifting over his figure while you hazily unbuttoned his shirt, "so you never had....sex either?"
He shook his head again, embarassed by the blush on his face and sighing slightly frustrated at the many memories of him falling in love, only for them to be running away, screaming in terror, back then at his old home. This town was dead, a forsaken place no woman ever found her way to, except for you. Before he could articulate anything, you pecked his lips and broke the silence.
"Do you...uhm...know how to...I mean....sex...would you know...?", you stuttered, unsure on how to voice this question without hurting him.
A boisterous laugh erupted from Kenneth, and the way your eyes sparkled indicated that it was the most delightful and endearing sound you had ever heard from him. He kicked a dirty and worn cardboard box from underneath the bed before handing it to you, a mischievous grin playing on his lips as he waited for you to open it. Eyes wide in disbelief, you pulled out one of the many vintage magazines and as you skimmed through the pages of naked women that weren't glued together, he could observe the slow change of expression upon realising that you currently held his collection of porn rags in your hands. He chuckled as you threw it back into the box and closed it before it disappeared beneath his bed again.
"Alright I get it, you were living in the middle of nowhere, not on the moon", you laughed nervously before kissing him again, teasingly running your tongue over his lower lip, showing him that you simply couldn't get enough of him.
Your body shifting slightly beside him drew his attention back to the present. A soft murmur escaped from your lips as your leg moved up, gradually inching closer to his groin. He shuddred, feeling the precum trickling on his belly at every twitch of his now fully hard cock. Faint whimpers spilled from his lips, one hand moving downwards, stroking himself, carefully slow to not disturb your slumber. Every fibre in his body craved your touch, your love, he wanted to bathe in all of it once more. The bittersweet memories lingered, tormenting him as a constant reminder that you'd surely leave the moment you wake up, naked and sober, next to the ugly old man tipsy you seemed so eager to please the previous night.
"Look at you", you cooed, slowly undoing the buttons and pulling down his pants, "you deserve to be worshipped."
Kenneth's head fell back, eyes shut tight and his mouth hanging open, whimpering at the feeling of your hands on his dick. It was so different, so much better than anything he had ever imagined during all those lonely nights in his room while touching himself. Slow, deliberate strokes, each one pushing him closer to the edge. Your touch brought a pleasure he struggled to contain. His eyes shot open the moment he felt those soft lips wrapped around his leaking tip, sucking it ever so slowly before sinking down. The deep moan coming him resembled more a strangled scream trapped in his throat while he helplessly watched his cock disappear in your mouth. Despite the alcohol coursing through his veins, everything felt so overly sensitive, the way your tongue licked over his length and your teeth gently grazed his tip each time your head moved down. Each moan of his was rewarded by a satisfied hum, its vibrations proving to be the last drop in his bucket full of pent-up tension. Loud groans, which almost sounded like your name, spilled from his lips like a prayer and his cock twitched in your mouth, his salty release running down your throat. His gaze was glued to you, observing how you licked away the last drops of his cum before snuggling up next to him, that loving smile never leaving you.
"I love every part of you, Kenny", you murmured, planting a trail of sweet kisses along his neck, "I hope you enjoyed your birthday."
He huffed, unable to hide his grin until the exhaustion and the liquour finally lulled him to sleep.
One last glance at your sleeping form, assuring himself that you wouldn't notice how he quickened his strokes, he closed his eyes to fully surrender to the pleasure. He was so occupied with chasing his orgasm that he failed to notice that you'd just woken up, licking your lips greedily at the sight of him pleasuring himself beside you. He wasn't sure how long you had been watching him, only becoming aware of what was happening the moment you pounced on him, pressing your dripping entrance against his cock, letting only the tip slide in. The initial shock of his denied orgasm quickly turned into something feral, a primal heat burning between his thighs, urging him to thrust his hips up and he almost bit off his tongue in the desperate attempt to not succumb.
"Kenny", you pleaded when his hands shot up to grasp your hips firmly to hold you in place, "I want you, I need you."
He shook his head frantically, too afraid to surrender to everything your were offering. He couldn't blame this neither on the alcohol nor on it being late after a long day and it terrified him beyond words. Why would a gracious angel such as yourself desire him? The monster, the cannibal, the son, hidden away to not scare anyone, only ever allowed to roam to either work or slaughter. As if you heard his thoughts, you leaned in, cupping his cheeks and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"You have been so kind to me from the very first day, you deserve all the goodness that comes your way", you brushed a few strands of hair from his face, "I might not hear your voice, but I do see and hear your heart. If you want it, I'll be yours for as long as I live. I love you, Kenny."
He growled, his last will to resist fading upon hearing those three little words he had yearned for his entire existence. Sitting up, his lips crashed on yours while his hands guided you down onto him. He bucked his hips up as he continued to push you down, trying to bury himself as deeply within you as possible. The symphony of sinful moans and the creaking of the old bed filled the small bedroom. He'd never forget the way your greedy tight cunt swallowed all of his cock, losing himself within your delicious wetness until he came undone, filling you up with his release. Kenneth continued to move your hips while thrusting up, helping you chase your own high. Right as you were giving in to your orgasm, as your walls clenched around still hard length, he mustered all his courage, longing to give you something precious back for all the kindness you had brought into his life.
"I-I...l-l-l-lov-ve you t-t-t-too", Kenneth stuttered.
He cringed at the sound of his own voice and the Southern drawl he couldn't hide. Â It had been nearly fifty years since he last spoke, but Ginny had understood his insecurities and had allowed him to communicate without words. He had found solace in silence, until you entered his life. You had become someone special to him, and he was willing to face his doubts head-on, fighting against the internal struggles that had plagued him for so long. He wanted to give you the gift of spoken words, to confess the emotions that had been burning inside him since the day you first stepped through the doors of the orphanage. You had become his whole world. As you nestled beside him, your fingers tracing gentle patterns across his hairy chest, he couldn't help but wonder if there was some truth to the old saying of "blow out the candles and make a wish." After all these years, it seemed that his wish had finally been granted.

A list of misc. Hermitcraft/Life Series fics from someone who loves AUs
There is no smut on this list
â€ïž = Angst đ = Fluff đ = Fic I recently added
No Romance and Romance Optional
â€ïžHermit Hybrids (In Progress Series) by Flickersprout - "Loosely connected fantasy AU with background dystopian elements. Mostly exploring the Hermits as a magic found family and all their different ways of being nonhuman." Can be read in any order! I'd suggest starting with The Colors of Friendship cause it's the earliest chronologically, ZombieCleo's great, and it's a good introduction to the world.
â€ïžthe sanctity of the mundane (Completed Series) by crabbunch - âSnippets of life on the Double Life server; mundanity can reveal the most interesting things about people, after all.â This series makes me crazy. The only happy pairs are Boat Boys and Ranchers hell yeah
From the Archives (Completed Series) by Sixteenthdays and zeph - âA collection of statements from the archives of the Void Institute.â A Hermitcraft/Life Series Magnus Archives AU with Grian as the Head Archivist and Pearl, Mumbo, Scar, and Impulse as his assistants. Can be read with no knowledge of the Magnus Archives.
Interlude From Another Reality: Peacock's Eye by Sixteenthdays and zeph - ââMy assistant,â announced Scar Goodtimes, newly-promoted Head Archivist of the Peacock's-Eye Institute, to nobody in particular except maybe the paused audio recording software on his laptop, or perhaps the small pile of tape recorders his predecessor'd left piled on a shelf in the corner, or arguably the little peacock-feather eye logo that dotted the office as haphazardly as it did the entire Institute, âis weird.â
(In which Scar is Grian's Archivist, and Grian is Scar's assistant.)â Sort of an AU of the Magnus Archives AU? Haha. But itâs completely divorced from the canon and can definitely be read stand alone.
â€ïžShining and Polished (But Never to Plan) by SaltyServal - âA cough makes Grian freeze in his tracks, shakes him to his core. Despite all the signs, of all the things he was expecting to find in this cave, a truly sentient creature was not one of them. Thatâs what scares him the most.
He turns, grabbing his dagger and pointing it at the newcomer, who simply smiles at him, fangs and all.
âWhy hello there.â
tldr; Grian is an avian desperate to keep his wings, and he'll do whatever it takes to save himself. Even if it means stealing from a dragon.
(It turns out there's more to the dragon then he thought).â A fantasy AU with bird!Grian and dragon!Scar
oh captain (let's make a deal) by birrdie - âNo one on these shores knew Scarâs name. Aside from Tango, of course. No one feared the humble, white-sailed ship docked on the south side of the port. This, like the tides, would eventually change with time. They would know his name soon enough. The greatest pirates all rose from humble beginnings like a phoenix from ashes. Scar was no different from them; that much he was sure of. And it would not take him long to prove it.
Or; Scar is a Captain of a humble pirate crew of one. That is, until a discovery on the shore shakes things up a bit.â A heaping helping of greedy pirate Scar and mysterious crewmate Grian, with evil Boat Boys and innocent Solidaritek as a garnish.
â€ïžstarry eyes stare through me by whatcaniwriteinthis - "'You know,' he says. 'Gotta have a good show: high stakes, violenceâ' He nods at the room, at the 24 children learning how to use weapons, how to start a fire, how to find food that wonât kill them.
'An unlikely allyship,' Scar finishes, smiling a little. Grian smirks back.
â
Grian is this year's male tribute from District 9. Clearly, the odds are already not in his favor. But he has to get home to his sister and to do that he has to play the Games. Give them a show. Stay alive. Remember to step out of line is to threaten Pearl. Don't get too attached to the Career that agrees to be his ally, but not to put a damn shirt on." Angst without a happy ending. Made me cry
â€ïžStained Glass Sunlight (In Progress Series) by Cosmic_Retribution - âThe Watchers had seemed so nice, is the thing. So⊠disarmingly hospitable.
When theyâd set out for the ruins, theyâd gone in search of some magical beasts reportedly plaguing the area, according to the flyer theyâd taken. What theyâd found instead was an empty city and a group of mages and scholars studying⊠something. Theyâd been cagey about what. Certainly not the history of the placeâ the Watchers arrived long after the fall of Dogwarts, content to live and work inside the cityâs corpse with no special reverence for the grave it lay ruined in. They had no stake in its fall, or its future, or the preservation of its once-hallowed legacyâ but its bones, certainly, served as protection enough for their studies.
The beasts were the only thing troubling the Watchersâ work, or so theyâd said. Strange, then, that Grian and his party never once saw a trace of them.
How long after, until his friends realized Grian was gone? That they werenât safe?
â
Two decades ago, the city of Dogwarts met its demise. Today, a traveler meets god wearing the mask of a merchant, looking for a miracle.
These two things are not as unconnected as they appear.â Grian and Scarâs version of the lamplight AU(below). Featuring bored god Scar and oblivious paladin Grian.
Lamplight (In Progress Series) by skelew - âWelcome to Lamplight, a DnD/Fantasy Third/Last Life Renchanting AU. Ren is a god stuck in the form of living fire. Martyn is his sole follower. Martyn and Ren help free one another from imprisonment by the Watchers and are now traveling the world on a two-man adventure of fond companionship and occasional arson.â Thereâs angst but really just in the first fic. The main series has no shipping but skelew has written some treebark one shots that are also in the collection.
â€ïždandelion wishing by skelew - âThe white lily is known to symbolize purity, innocence. It is also a symbol of mourning, a popular choice to decorate the casket at a funeral. This is due to their beauty, yes, as well as the fact their smell can cover up the scent of a decaying body. Dandelions are best known for their magic, but no dandelion survives a wish.
The King of Dogwarts is not dead.â A Martyn and Ren centric fic about coming back from the dead.
â€ïžWooden Mausoleum by skelew - ââTo take the life of one you love an agony Martyn understands far too well. Itâs not something heâd wish on anyoneânot on his worst enemy, and certainly not on his dearest friends.
Least of all would he wish it on Ren.â
Or, for the Red King, there are fates worse than death. How fortunate he is that his Hand will never let him meet them.â Dogwarts makes it to the end of 3rd Life but Martyn has a betrayal arc.
đPerformance Evaluations by glossyblue - âFrom The Desk Of His Majestyâs Most Private Of Areas: A True And Accurate Evaluation Of Growth Opportunities For The Knights Of The Square Table, The Loyal Court of Ren the King, As Suggested By The HR Department. (Note to self: when did we acquire an HR department? Ask Bdubs.)â Super cute and funny performance evaluations of the knights from the King Ren Hermitcraft arc.
The H.T.G.Y. Files by glossyblue - "Research scientist Cub didn't intend to make a person. He just came up with the plans. But when a competing team looking to make a supersoldier gets hold of the genome he invented, Cub is pulled in to stop them screwing upâand whatever he expected to find, it wasn't someone like Scar." This is part of a series called Lab Escape but the other fic has a ship that's not in this list so I can't put it in. But I really recommend the whole series!
đThe Government Institute for Ghost Supervision (G.I.G.S.) by glossyblue - âHIGHLY SENSITIVE: G.I.G.S CLASSIFIED. Audio logs for a team of supernatural agents investigating reports of a ghost at a local high school.GRIAN: Yeah, Skizz, why did you let Scar set something on fire? Pretty irresponsible.
SKIZZ: [noise of incoherent outrage] You try stopping him, buddy.â Goofy GIGS story
fixed and dilated by iamsolarflare - âAnything waterdwelling knows from bait.
---
Or: xBCrafted deals with the people around him, and a secret he's been keeping for one hell of a long time. Not the âold enemies hunting him downâ type, no - this should be fine, as long as nobody pries. It's the way you should deal with secrets like this, really, just don't let people know. No questions, no answers.
Hypno never got that memo, apparently.â An xB and Hypno fic where neither are human and neither wants to talk about it. Even if you donât watch them I recommend it.
on the getaway mile by Odaigahara - ââYou want me to do what?â the civilian asked disbelievingly, and Scarâs body language shifted to that of an impatient trainer, one whose fuse was running short. It was a precursor to bad things, like being tased or forced onto a treadmill for hours; Mumbo flinched even knowing it was an act, and the civilian cut off with a squeak, so Mumbo knew he felt the same way.
Or possibly that was the gun. Scar having a gun seemed more likely as an explanation, now that Mumbo thought of it.
Stealing the car would be better, but they had no idea where they were going, and neither of them was familiar with road laws. What if they hit a person while driving? What if there was some sort of kill switch in the car that the owner could flip to blow it up with them inside? Anti-villain tech had to be wild, from what the Foundation had on handâ and they were villains now for sure. Not just for defying the Foundation, but for this. Heroes didnât take the actions he and Scar were taking.â Heroes Villains Scar and Mumbo take civilian Grian hostage for a road trip! It's not as bad as it sounds
counterclock by scarabies - âWhen itâs over, Impulse finds him in the throne room.
(or, Bdubs and Impulse chat after a rebellion ends. Can be read as either platonic or romantic.)â
đTangotek Evil Incorporated by onawhimsicot - âAs the supervillain Dr. Blaze, Tango has a fondness for oddly named "ificators" and stylistic flair. He spends his days trying to take over the city, shaming superheroes for their basic costume designs, and then sending said heroes home with better equipment that actually matches their aesthetic because clearly, if he wants a cool fight scene to happen, he's got to do everything around here himself.
For some reason, not many people think heâs evil. On the bright side, the superhero Canary, does and has made it his personal mission to bring down Dr. Blaze! But when he suddenly goes missing, Canary's partner, Parrot, is convinced that Tango is at fault. Seeing as this is not true at all (kidnapping is so gauche), Tango is offended that someone is trying to steal his nemesis right from under his nose. If Tango wants to get his nemesis back, he'll have to work together with Parrot to find and rescue Canary from whatever danger he's got himself into this time.
Because, after all, what's a supervillain without a nemesis?â A very fun modified Phineas and Ferb AU with Tango as Doofenshmirtz and Jimmy as Perry the Platypus
Scarian
Through the Sky-Blue Cracks (In Progress Series) by Amethystfairy1 - âThis is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on!â
â€ïžcoliseum by artanogon - "Grian is on a mission: kill the Red King of the Third Precinct. Unfortunately, when he travels to the capital where the king resides, he lands in a spot of trouble with a local merchant when he accidentally destroys the merchantâs shop. After he enters into a contract to help pay off the damages, he discovers that there might be another side to Scar under the silver-tongued salesmanâ and that heâs not the only one who wants the Red King dead." This one made me cry. Bittersweet ending and it gets worse before it gets better.
Picture Perfect, Trapped in Eternity by CloudySkyFlight - âGrian's an architecture major in college, minoring in art history, and when the largest, and supposedly most haunted, collection of royal portraits in the world is displayed in a museum only a few hours away from his dorm, he gets up early to go see it.
Scar's been dead for centuries, living in a royal portrait he cursed to hold his memories and soul, waiting for the moment his best friend would come back to him. Several centuries later, he wakes up to see a brunette that has the looks and soul of his friend, and Scar knows that he cannot let Grian leave without him.â Starts out with Scar sort of kidnapping Grian? But the mood quickly lifts from there
and everything is you by eastwards - ââOh my gosh. Iâve got paint on your face.â
Grian moved to wipe the paint off, but Scar shook his head, âNo the other side, here let me-â
He held Grianâs head steady with one hand, the other carefully brushing across his jaw. With an affirming noise, Scar nodded and bid Grian farewell, as he wandered back to his station in the studio. Grian held his hand up to where he had touched him, feeling his head begin to warm. How troublesome.
â
artist au w/ scarian woooâ
somewhere between the surface and the seabed by LovesickPrince - "It's a classic tale of love: Grian, a mer from the depths of the sea, makes a deal with a sea witch to exchange his voice for a pair of legs and go visit the human whose life he had saved. Only in this case, Grian is more interested in the sea witch than the human.
(If only someone had bothered to tell Scar, the sea witch in question, about this divergence)."
đDead Heat by glossyblue - âJimmy's having a meltdown, Ren and Martyn are flirting outrageously, Tango gets cruelly betrayed and Grian and Scar are being unrepentantly weird about each other in every shot. It's the nation's favourite no-holds-barred elimination game. It is, of course, the Great British Bake Off.â
A Certain Je Ne Sais What by glossyblue - âLiterally any one of Grianâs friends would be a better soulmate than Scar, and Grian is going to prove this scientifically.
Grianâs already felt it, a pinprick in his thumb. Heâs familiarâheâs so painfully, unforgettably familiarâwith the way Scar sees something and is already reaching out to touch it before heâs asked questions like 'what is this' and 'is it bad news' and 'is it going to hurt me, Scar, and by extension the unwilling bystander my physical sensations are now linked to'. Scar just immediately reaches out.â Grian tries to convince himself that anyone else would be a better soulmate than Scar while proving that Scar is the best soulmate for him.
â€ïžwait the worst is yet to come by glossyblue - ââGrian is smirking at him. âI know, Grian, I know,â Scar says. âTrade by name and trade by natureâokay, Scar by name but still trade by natureâwe are going to be in business, opening soon, special rates for favorite customers of courseââ
âBut have you done it yet,â says Grian.
âNo?â Scar says. âWe only just started.â
Grian bounces on the balls of his feet, delighted. âOkay. Okay, okay, so. You need to know how it works, then, donât you? Kiss me.ââ Scar centric Last Life AU where you transfer lives by making out. Thereâs a sex scene but itâs not smut. Angst without a happy ending.
heart under your sleeve by Anonymous - âScar was easy to love, as mortifying as that was to think. Grian didnât think he was in love with the artist, it was far too soon for that, but he knew it would be easy for anyone to love him.
In the back of his mind, he wondered if Scar had met his soulmate, then shook his head to dispel the thought before it could fully form.
âLook, we canât bring in a live panda, but if you want, we can try and connect with a zoo in the area so that they can set up a live stream of their panda exhibits,â Grian compromised and Scar brightened again. He ignored the sweeping feeling of relief in his chest as he opened his laptop, typing in a quick search for nearby panda exhibits. âMaybe we can even get one of their handlers in to give a talk about pandas.â
âPerfect!â Scar agreed, putting on a bright grin. Grian smiled to himself in turn.
â
Soulmate AU: You are born with a birthmark, similar to a tattoo, that is shared by your soulmate. Grian is a curator for an art museum. Scar is an eccentric artist who is just as attractive as he is infuriating to work with. Everything goes sideways when Grian realizes they're soulmates.â
đIf you like it⊠by GoodTimesWithScar - ââHello,â slurs Scar, âyou wouldnât happen to know where a man such as myself⊠would find⊠an eligible bachelor to spend a little bit of time with?â
Grian blinks. âOh, you are plastered.â
or, the âyou got so drunk you asked your husband if he was singleâ trope, but with added mumbo being 100% done with this nonsense.â
đWell Itâs Not Quite Narnia, But- by Raichett - âItâs just past seven in the morning when Grian opens his built-in wardrobe door to find a man dressed in something close to a green and gold matador outfit standing inside.
---
my ever after / is holding you by LovesickPrince - âGrian has been many things.
Or: Grian is not giving up this dirt-cheap rent flat for anything, not even the strange (if fun) goings on around the place and the elven king coming in through his closet.â
đDispossessed by Raichett - âGrian's - kind of, sort of, maybe - a living doll, made of fabric and stuffing. Or, at least, that's what he is to the naked eye. Scar wants to know the truth of the matter. He's also maybe working through some feelings, but that's a whole other thing.
â
Or: Scar contemplates the enigma that is Grian, unknowing that sometimes when one watches, one invites being watched in turn.â
A servant of a respected noble family. A survivor, with bruises on his skin and hidden wings tied down to his back. A rebel, sneaking away for a night of wonder in the heart of the kingdom - and a curiosity, gawked at by all as the King himself swept him into his arms and spent hours by his side.
When Scar spent days tracking Grian down and helping him escape the cruel grasp of the Watchers, Grian thought his life couldnât surprise him anymore. Pledging his life to serve Scar was all he could do to thank his King.
Of course, being the personal servant of the King comes with its' own risks - and now Grian could add âhostageâ to his list of titles.
i live in a hologram with you by remrose - ââAnyone in there would be lucky to be graced with your company.â Scar told him. His face was calm but at his sides, his hands tightened and knuckles went white.
Or; someone decides kidnapping King Scarâs beloved servant was a good idea. It really wasnât.â
đâ€ïžBread and Butterflies by Anonymous - ââYou do this thing,â Mumbo began awkwardly. 'Where when you get worried, you start stalking people.â
âI donât stalk people,â Grian denied immediately.
Or, after the events of 3rd life, Grian finds himself lingering outside Scarâs base.â
đâ€ïža little victimless crime by definitelynotshouting - âOn a technical level, the rite heâs performing is paltry compared to what he executed all those heady months backâ chalk-powder in concentric circles, a matchbook, the potential for flame. Simple. Too simple; any of his old professors (Academy-trained, tried, and true) would have failed him for presenting such a stripped summoning spell. But half the magic lies in intentâ with enough bull-headed, scrabbling belief, you can claw anything into a shape of your choosing.
Grian had taught him that.
One breath. Two. No room for doubtâ no room for second chances. Scar strikes the match and, with a deft flick of his hand, tosses it into the chalk-powder.â
âStop trying to sweet talk me, I've already caught you fleeing.â Grian stalked another pace forward, eyes alight with mischief and excitement. âWhere are you going?ââ Scarâs bad end in the treesekai AU (which you need to have read to understand).
Treebark
Through the Sky-Blue Cracks (In Progress Series) by Amethystfairy1 - âThis is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on!â The first treebark fic is quite a ways down (Itâs called Dagger and Rose), but I believe in yalls ability to figure out the setting through context clues.
đlove goes toward love as schoolboys from their books (In Progress Series) by GoodTimesWithScar - âtreebark theatre kids au, with ren as the male lead and martyn as the very distracted spotlight operator!â
wild things can't get comfortable by donnerstag - "Ren and Martyn steal what small moments of comfort they can get.
â€ïžSgt. Pepperâs Broken Hearts Club Band by harpydora - âThe sign next to the door just reads, âSupport Group,â which frankly doesn't leave a great impression for the gathering inside. Martyn double-checks the Facebook event on his phone, but he's unfortunately certain he's in the right place: a support group for people whose soulmates are no longer with them.â The double life broken hearts club in a modern AU.
Several loosely-connected scenes from Dogwarts as Ren struggles with his feelings towards the Hand of the King."
What will that something be? Well donât look at me, Iâm the one who wrote it. Look at yourself, and ask yourself: Why donât I know?
Scribbling the lines (from you to me) by Siri_Spy - âMartyn and Cleo are soulmates⊠but what exactly does that mean for them? And with Martyn starting to fall for the over-the-top president of his RPG club, and Cleo starting to realize that they might be a little late to the âdisgustingly in loveâ phase⊠something needs to change.
Exactly. Thatâs what Iâve been wondering. Anyway, what are you still doing here? Go read!â A really sweet modern AU about Cleo and Martyn.
The Not Ghost of the Castle (he is a very dedicated cosplayer, thank you very much) takes a liking, and possibly some recognition, to Martyn, and while he spends the night terrorising Martyn's friends, the two of them build an unlikely bond and friendship.
not the ghost by csillagvizsgalo - âMartyn tags along with his friends on a ghost hunting trip (he has seen people who had weirder hobbies anyways) for fun in an old run-down castle museum that has definitely not been kept properly. It's all fun and games, and he definitely doesn't believe in the supernatural, so it's not scary at all, until he starts noticing things lying around in areas that nobody has been to in ages, that remind him of memories of events that he never experienced, hundreds of years ago. The voices aren't helping. Well, the one Voice.
The Red King just wants to rest, and so does Martyn. But not everything is as easy as it first seems.â Ren pulls out all the stops to try and intimidate Martyn but Martyn is a little rude to him and completely ruins it.
Wild Life: A Conservation Podcast by donnerstag - âRen and Martyn, hosts of a popular little nature and conservation podcast, go camping together as part of a season finale special; discussions of the future, for both the show and themselves, ensue. Featuring: a campfire! innuendos! and even a little bit of kissy, perhaps?â
A Romance Route For The Doomed Villain?!? by skelew - âThese days, Martyn doesnât really have a lot going on. This is where the dating sim comes in.
đDead Heat by glossyblue - âJimmy's having a meltdown, Ren and Martyn are flirting outrageously, Tango gets cruelly betrayed and Grian and Scar are being unrepentantly weird about each other in every shot. It's the nation's favourite no-holds-barred elimination game. It is, of course, the Great British Bake Off.â
Granted, if Martyn knew he was going to die so soon, he maybe would have tried a little harder at, like, holding down a job. Or maybe not. It's not like he has a lot of time to think about it.
Or, Treebark Isekai Romance Parody Which I Spent Far Too Much Time On.â
â€ïžI Think Iâve Seen This Film Before by GoodTimesWithScar - âIn which Martyn fails to get the guy - but he doesn't let that stop him for long.â Set in the treesekai AU (the fic above), which you need to read to understand.
â
đI shouldâve known it would be you - water/woods by theorionsound - âMartyn sort of expected to fall in love with Ren eventually.
On their bi-annual hiking trip, Ren and Martyn get lost in thought. Mainly about eachother.â
'Sure.' There was something knife-bright in Martynâs eyes. 'And Iâm a good little Southlander now.'
â€ïžTo Sit in Hell With You by dirtybinary - "Ren pulled Martyn close, breathing in the smell of soot and cinders still clinging to his clothes. 'You never kept secrets from me, back at Dogwarts.'
Martyn's playing every side in the death game. He's a loose cannon, he's a wild card, he's a selfish bastard who's going to betray everyone in the end, even Ren. Probably. Most likely. Any minute now."
Solidaritek
đRed Bandit AU (In Progress Series) by scribblingdragon - âA Empires Season 2 AU with Jimmy as the Sheriff of Tumble Town, and Tango as a local bandit that is slowly, forcefully, being domesticated. Shenanigans ensue from there.â
â€ïžđHels To Pay AU (In Progress Series) by aquaquadrant and lunarcrown - âAngsty Tango-centric Hermitcraft/Double Life SMP AUâ
â€ïžThe Highwayman by EnvelopedByOblivion - âFate walks many paths - but for each person, it only wears one face. Sheriff Jimmy Solidarityâs fate is a handsome red-eyed highwayman who saves Jimmy from a group of bandits. Despite being on opposite sides of the law, something keeps bringing them together, tangible as gravity and inevitable as death.
đLet Me Show You Everything I Know by MassiveWaffle - "Jimmy Solidarity is an ordinary guy. He goes to his grad school classes during the day, works at the campus library in the evenings, and neglects his friendships a little too much. Then, engineering student Tango enters the library for some help, and Jimmy finds his friend group growing, and his life inexplicably changed."
Which will get to them first? What will win out â a growing relationship between them, or their obligations to the life theyâve chosen for themselves?â
đđTangotek Evil Incorporatedâs Masterful Schemes (for wooing the Canary) by Tiny_Minecraft_Rabbit - âDr. Blaze, like all good supervillains, has a nemesis. One that he hates, of course. The Canary is always meddling in his plans to be evil after all! Supervillains don't like their nemeses. Except, for some reason, no one believes him that he despies the guy! Sure the Canary takes him seriously when no one else does and laughs at his jokes and has these bright brown eyes that light up when he figures out how to escape Tango's traps and... and Tango might, just maybe, like the Canary more than he thought.
Well, now he has a new problem: confessing those feelings.â
A Nestcommunication by YacintheMorning - âTango just wants to make the ranch a home for both him and his avian soulmate. Unfortunately, he knows almost nothing about avians. But the least he can do is try, right?â In which Tango is accidentally way too forward.
đA Lesson in Listening by YacintheMorning - "Grian's brother is moving to town and staying with him while he house hunts. While introducing him to his friend, however, Jimmy and Tango seem to make quite a connection. Determined not to suffer through the pining, Grian and Impulse attempt to play matchmaker."
Unfortunately, this panicked Jimmy at first.
đHe loves that horse by ThatTallQueerBassist - âTango uses his horse training knowledge to get Oreo back in shape after all the drama of being stolen back and forth.
He quickly calms down once he finds Tango training Oreo just outside the walls of their ranch.
They chat, and everything is well in the world again.â
SmallEtho
â€ïžThe Best Soulmate by BlocksRuinedMe - ââBut everyone else didnât know that - it was possible even Bdubs didnât know that - and yet he carried on like that, all the time. All about Joelâs soulmate. Bdubs didnât respect Joel, and fuck that.
Fuck that.
Joel had been fantasizing about killing Bdubs for weeks.â
â
The Boat Boys have made it to the end of Double Life, standing with Impulse and Bdubs, watching the divorce quartet crumble. Joel has a plan to make Etho win Double Life, whether Etho likes it or not.â Joel being an unreliable narrator because rage clouds his thinking is really something I wish there was more of. You definitely want to read the tags before diving into this one btw.
Holy Father, judge my sins by giddyfenix - "Joel and Etho as the seven deadly sins. After all, what were they if not corrupted?" The lust chapter has a sexual scene, obvs, so skip that if you so wish.
A list of facts and problems by giddyfenix - âJoel had never realized it was possible to feel someone in your bones until Etho came along.â
Amores anacrĂłnicos by giddyfenix - âDonât be further than 10 blocks from Etho for 10 minutes. One attempt only.â
You held his hands, it felt like flying by Prudent_seer - âEtho doesn't believe in soulmates. Doesn't believe in fate, destiny or an invisible little string tying two people together indefinitely. It was ridiculous, maddening even to think of two people who were made for one another; made perfect for each other by the "universe's almighty will". With that being said, he had someone in mind that was pretty damn close. So when Grian threw them in a world where these soulbounds did in fact exist in a tangible form, where health and pain was shared with someone else, he sought out the person whom he thought was his match. Only to literally fall into the life of his actual soulbound.
It was Joel. And with that Etho cursed the universe for its twisted sense of humour.
//
Creative rewrite of double life through the eyes of Etho, who learns to love his soulmate.â Thereâs sex but itâs not smut, you know what I mean?
when everything burns, they burn together by TheYesterdayShow - âNo one for Joel because he's always been a loner. For as long as he can remember he's been on his own in these gamesâin the first one he had his cottage on the hill (so long ago that he can barely remember what it looked like, he can only remember it burning and the flames licking up at him and melting his skin and the smell of his hair and he has to put it outâ), and in the games since, he's been alone. Alliances that last little more than a week, here and there, and somehow he always ends up at Grian's side at the end of things, but he's never actually teamed up with anyone else.
He doesn't want a soulmate.â
etho has said parkour tag! by panch_owo - âNeither Cyan or Aqua make it to finals, which means the rest of the event is unimportant!
And instead of dwelling on their non-team, they go on another round of tag because it's them.â No smut but a lot of innuendo and tension
More Powerful Than Fear Itself Is The Will To Win by smoothlikebutter - "After a devastating crash ends Ethoâs racing career with the McLaren Formula One team, heâs forced to take significant time off to recover. While his fans are eager to see him again soon, what they donât know is that Ethoâs crash was worse than reported; he had to re-learn how to walk and talk before he could even think about racing again. But the desire to get back in a racing car is a strong motivation, so Etho pushes himself to his limits⊠However, his team couldnât wait forever. His replacement is talented and the endless competition of motorsports is ruthless. Now Etho has to prove to his old teamâ and to the whole worldâ that they were too quick to forget about him. And what better place than the 24 Hours of Le Mans?
ConCorp is eager to snap up a big name like Etho. Theyâre entering under the Garage 56 innovative category this year, and their CEOs arenât interested in much more than publicity so the pressure is low. But theyâve also signed Joel, a ruthless pro endurance racer who isnât about to settle for anything less than the top step of the podium and a champagne shower at the end of the race. And honestly? Thatâs exactly the kind of teammate that Etho needs." Had me dancing around my room with excitement. Etho's character arc is amazing.
We're a Couple of Freaks by smoothlikebutter - "Joel is a weapon. Etho is also a weapon. They're professional monster hunters, and they've got a job to do tonight: clear out a ton of undead from an abandoned old mansion. Simple, right? This could only possibly go wonderfully well.â Epic Smalletho Souleater AU
â€ïžBlurring The Lines by FountainPenguin - âDad always goes overboard with presents. They're never something traditional that a kid would ask for, either. It's always something he had left over in the back of his truck after a project or something stupid he bought after sipping a few too many potions and regretted sober.
One year for Scar's birthday, when he and his cousin Grian were playing in the sandbox out back, Dad and his friends arrived unannounced with four oak saplings. Dad didn't grab his arm or anything (Dad basically never touched him except on rare occasion to brush sand from his hair before loading him in the car; he always said it would make Mom mad), but he used words and praise and empty promises to drag Scar away from his and Grian's game to plant them right away.
Maybe Dad gave so many gifts because he was never around in summer. As early as April, he spent every weekend out fishing with his cousin on his houseboat...
AKA - That Scar-centric standalone piece about the Clocker family in contemporary suburbia.â
And goodness youâre bleeding (What a wonderful feeling) by knightinshiningarmor - âWhen the relationship burns, Etho feels an intense burst of emotions that leads to a revelation.â

Through this limited time event, the moderators of FFG were able to raise approximately $403 USD for relief and aid; that's just the amount for this event, too! The overall initiative has raised almost $4.5k USD! Way to go!
This is my "debut" in the smut writing scene, as well as the x!reader scene, so let's get into it :3
If you liked this, please make sure to like and/or reblog! Also feel free to bookmark this post or my mirrored upload on NeoCities.

LEON KENNEDY X GENDER-NEUTRAL / TRANSMASC READER
Kink: Pegging
Misc. Details/Content: Bottom!Leon, GN/Transmasc Reader, Death Island!Leon (because I believe older men should get pegged too, haha)
Word Count: 1K
Greying hair never looked as good as it did now, falling against flushed features. Never looked as good as it did as it did now, with your hand entangling itself in the long, shimmering locks, brushing them back and out of the agentâs face whilst hazy eyes found themselves upon your own features. Leon wasnât expecting you to beat him back to the hotel room, but considering the circumstances of his latest rendezvous with the rest of the team⊠The surprise is rather pleasant.
And little did he know his evening was about to get even more pleasant from here on out.
âDonât teaseâŠâ Leon breathed out, trying his best to mask the needy tone with a charming grin and the subtle massaging of your hips.
âBut Iâm not,â You cooed, more than happy to lean back and encourage him to give chase; he did. âIâve got you right⊠where⊠I want you.â
The emphasis in your tone was enough to raise his suspicions, but not enough to warn him of the way youâd casually pull him into another intense kiss. Hands wandered, though this time the garments were shed as the two of you vied for your position on top. Needy moans meshed with breathy laughs, lips eventually wandering away from each other and across newly exposed skin. Leonâs were the first to traverse, leaving hickeys across the taut muscles in your throat and staking his claim. Yours mirrored the actions and grew confident at the realization that what you left behind would peek over his shirts; announce to the rest of the world that he was yours, even if the matter of âwhoâ remained a mystery. Strong, calloused hands wandered down your frame, grasping and kneading eagerly. Yours followed, sliding across his torso and lightly scratching at scarred flesh; taking the time to admire all the uniquely shaped tissue beneath. Lips grow more and more enthused in their own explorationâ yours find themselves wrapping around Leonâs cock, his normally focused eyes lidded as he watches you sink down beneath him.
It doesnât take much work to have him unwound, all but begging you for more attention.
You give it to him in the form of nudging his legs with your shoulders, encouraging him to sit back and allow you to slip wet fingers against the outer portions of his anus, teasing at the delicate bundle of nerves before slipping in to stretch him around you. Gently as you could, you worked at him with your fingers, all the while continuing to use your mouth, creating an exhilarating mixture of sensations that effectively erased any lingering tension within Leonâs body. His moans grew breathier, chest heavy with want as he sunk against the sheets and lazily entangled his hand in your hair.
âJust like thatâŠâ He panted, tone wavering as heâd bit back a hopeless whine.
You pull back, as if not to speak but to coax that whine through his tumbling fortitude. It works; he whines your name.
âYou think you can take me?â Your fingers continue their rhythmic motions, thrusting in and out. Emphasizing each thrust in with a subtle curl to brush against his prostate.
âIâMnnâŠ. I know I can.â A lopsided grin forms on his lips; heâs challenging you.
You accept it. You withdraw easily, giving him a coy command to stay in place whilst finally pulling your own bottoms off. First your outer layer, which sheds to reveal the comfortable bulge in your underwear. The pair is tighter than youâd normally wear, but youâd known the emphasis would be well enough to capture his attention.
âThat a gun in your pants, orâŠ?â He snickers as your expression falters. Your eyes flicker to his.
âReally, Leon?â You almost wish it was, despite the amusement in your tone.
You canât help but roll your eyes as you give his leg a playful nudge with yours, pulling back before he can retaliate and stepping over to your nightstand to retrieve the small bottle of lube youâd purchased on your way back. As you stepped back to the emptied space between his legs, heâd sat up on his elbows and held out a palm. Curiously, you slid the bottle to him and watched as he sat up to squirt the liquid into his hand. Wordlessly, he ran calloused fingers across the skin-like surface of your packer. Rubbed his palm against the subtle curvature in a way that naturally adjusted the prosthesis to a more erect position, allowing the beaded up lube to slick the shaft and sprawl across the tip.
Once the packer was sufficiently lubed, Leon couldnât help but tease you; attempt to get payback for the miserably needy state youâve put him in. He leans back on the bed and dramatically poises himself for you. You all but pounced at the opportunity, aligning yourself to him and sinking in. Immediately any remaining fortitude faded, your chests pressing together as youâd made him take every inch of you. He was eager to receive it, though, as his hands found themselves rested on your waist as youâd established a rough, rhythmic pace. His lips parted, unable to press together as heâd given in to his pleasure. Moans and whines filled the air between you and traversed through the thinned hotel walls, but neither of you cared. Not then; not when your own mixed in as the rutting sensation against your t-dick became prominent. Your head found itself buried in his neck, lazily pressing uncoordinated kisses to the marked skin.
âSo, what was that about a gun?â You teased, words barely able to escape you as your head grew dizzy with pleasure. And from the broken up laughter youâd received in response, it seemed Leon was in a similarly intoxicated state.
Was, like you, teetering on the edge of enjoyment and climax. And quickly as your rendezvous began, it ended explosively. Lips connected and breaths were taken as the sensation choked your nerves, only to slowly subside as the two of you came to rest beside one another.

OMG omg!! i have a question-- do i need to like pay or anything??? like this is so cool oml! this is what i would really like to see, and also idk if you are fine w multiple prompts in one but here-- can i request NSFW #9, #17 and #16, in one, with denji x fem reader?? sorry if its too much to ask but ur literally such a good writer i cant help it!! thank youuuuu ong
Dinner and Dessert, Part 1
Author: c-o-t-o
Character: Denji x fem reader
CW: 18+ only, sexual content/smut, character aged up, explicit language, pain play, teasing, light bdsm (some CWs apply to other parts)
Misc: ~2.5k words, Part 1. Requested by anon (playing with you under the kotatsu, teasing, and pain play)- I got too into this request and so is going to be much longer than anticipated! Keep an eye out for part 2!
About: You and Denji start teasing each other under the kotatsu after dinner, but it begins to turn into something much more playful.
*Do not remove info or credit from posts when reblogging or sharing!*
Denji was being his rowdy self, as usual. You all managed to make it through a dinner together without Power flinging food across the room or Denji and Aki yelling at her. Denji was, however, very energetic tonight.
Aki was in and out of the living room cleaning up after dinner, while power sat off to the side on some cushions watching TV with Meowy. You and Denji were still under the kotatsu since it was so toasty and warm.
Denji lays straight back and carelessly spreads his legs out under the kotatsu, one of his legs ending up on top of yours. He puts his hands back under his head, grinning wide and sighing contentedly.
âDenjiâŠâ you say, hoping heâll just realize heâs being obnoxious. When he doesnât pay you any mind, you start shaking your legs to shake him off.
âDenji!â You laugh, although somewhat annoyed that heâs just taking up all this space.
âWhaaattt??â He finally responds, shaking his legs back with a devious grin on his face.
You reach under the kotatsu and try to push his leg off but he pushes back against the force of your hand. Denji makes a âahh haaâ sound to mock you, sticking his tongue out.
This back and forth goes on for a few minutes. You push him, he pushes you back. You slap his leg, and he tries to swat at you from his lying position. Eventually you both start laughing at each other. Denji sits back up and leans his head on his hand. He smiles at you with his cheeks all red. Probably from all the kicking and gyrating he was doing. He reaches under the kotatsu and pinches your leg, and you let out a playful yelp. You reach back under to do the same, pinching him on what you assume to be the top of his thigh. But instead of Denji yelling or getting annoyed, his face begins to redden more, eyes starting to avoid yours.
Confused, you pinch him again, thinking heâll do something back to you. But this time, he just closes his eyes and exhales through his nose loudly. You lower your face to try and look him in the eyes, but Denji instead turns his face away.
âDoes he⊠like this? Did he do this wanting me to pinch him back?â You wonder to yourself. Itâs no secret that Denji likes the thrill of pain, but you assumed that was just when he fought. Before you can let your thoughts wander more, you feel Denji grab your hand under the kotatsu, squeezing your fingers. You look at him, his eyes still looking down at the table. With his other arm leaning on the table, his hand covers his mouth, trying to covertly hide his expression and the redness creeping in on his face. Denji puts your hand on his thigh, and you feel his hand on yours. He starts dragging his nails down your skin, making you gasp out loud.
âWhat happened?â Aki peeks his head out from the kitchen while he does the dishes. Hearing this, Power tilts her head around to look at you and Denji.
âN-nothing! Itâs nothing, sorry.â You say with your voice cracking a bit. You glare at Denji who is still trying to cover his mouth, but smirking now. âYouâŠâ
You do the same back to Denji, teasing him just the way he did to you. Scratching his thigh didnât get much of a reaction out of him, though. He does it back to you, but harder this time. You quickly turn to look at him, and all you can see are his eyes looking up at you pleadingly. Your heart skips a beat, understanding now that he wants you to do it harder. When you do, you see Denjiâs neck cringe from pleasure. The sight of him getting turned on by you and the small hints of pain in your teasing, inadvertently starts turning you on as well.
The blanket under the tabletop is big and heavy, so nobody notices when either of you start moving around more underneath it. Denji goes back to laying flat on the floor while you lay on your side. Youâve both pulled the blanket up to your necks now, allowing both of you to reach more than just each otherâs thighs.
Living with Denji, you two ended up constantly flirting with each other. As boys usually do, Denjiâs way of showing it was always to tease you. When it mattered the most, he did protect you and looked out for you. But at home, when he could be his weird self, he loved to tease you. You once came close to kissing him late at night when you both started falling asleep on the couch watching a movie, leaning on each other. But nothing ever came of it, until today. Maybe Denji couldnât take it anymore.
You gasp quietly to yourself when you feel Denjiâs hand move up your arm, making its way up to your chest. He glances over at you to look for a reaction, hesitating. With just your eyes, you scan the room to make sure Aki and Power arenât paying attention, which they arenât. You look back at Denji, making tiny nods with your head. His eyes widen in surprise and excitement. Without wasting any more time, Denjiâs hand finds its way to your breast, cupping and squeezing it gently at first. He tries to nonchalantly watch you for your reaction.
Denjiâs hands are so big and warm that it honestly feels really good. Your eyes close in pleasure and you start letting out small breathy moans through your nose, trying so hard to be quiet. But suddenly, you hear Denji chuckle. Itâs so quiet you almost didnât hear it. But before you open your eyes, you feel Denjiâs hand go under your shirt, pinching your nipple with his fingertips.
You grab your mouth to try keeping yourself from making too much noise, not really able to do much of anything with Aki and Power in the same room. Denji, still being Denji, starts teasing you. His fingertips start circling around your hardened nipple, pinching it randomly, trying to get you to gasp out loud. You feel yourself start getting wet. Were you also enjoying the random bits of pain? Denji somehow found a way to make it feel good and not actually hurt.
To retaliate, you lean over and run your hand up Denjiâs thigh, hand resting over the crotch of his shorts. His eyes flash open at you, and all you can do is smirk at him. He pinches your nipple again in response.
Your hand knew exactly where to go, because⊠well frankly, Denji was already incredibly hard before you even touched him. He got that freaking hard just teasing you and feeling you up. You find the seam of his shorts, take a deep breath, and start making your way up them.
You didnât think your first time feeling him up would be during a situation like this⊠but damn was it exciting. Nervous and eager to feel Denji, you finally slide your fingers underneath the fabric of his underwear. He was so hot from being so stiff that it warmed your fingers to the touch immediately. Denji was pretty big, and it somewhat takes you by surprise. You drag your fingertips across his skin from the base of him to his tip. Thereâs already precum pooling at the top. You laugh to yourself and drag the tip of your finger across it, using it to lubricate your fingertip as it circles the head of his cock. Denji throws his head back in pleasure, letting go of your boob. Closing your fingers around him, you start pumping your hand up and down his length, watching his eyes roll back in his head. Once you get a good rhythm going and he starts getting into it⊠you suddenly let go, making him go crazy from the sudden withdrawl. His knees jerk and hit the kotatsu from inside, making him yell out.
âOkay, whatâs going on in there??â Aki asks annoyed, coming out from the kitchen to see whatâs going on. For some reason, your immediate response is to close your eyes and pretend you fell asleep under the kotatsu when Aki comes in.
âItâs fine, just go back to your chores,â Denji retorts, trying so hard to play it off. âI just hit my knees, no big deal, itâs fine.â Aki looks down at you, then glares at Denji.
âBe quiet, sheâs sleeping. And you should be, too. In fact,â Aki says, turning to look at Power as well, âWe should all be going to sleep. We all have work tomorrow morning.â
âYeah, yeah, got it. Iâll wake her up and tell her to go to bed. Just wanna finish my show.â Denji says, trying to convince Aki and Power to both leave. Which they do, because Aki takes Meowy in an effort to get Power to go back to her room and sleep.
For a few brief moments itâs completely silent. Out of nowhere, you feel something warm near your face. You open your eyes to see Denji hovering above you. He playfully grabs your chin, bringing his mouth to your ear. He licks the shell of your ear, then bites on your earlobe before whispering, âYouâre really in for it now.â

[ READ PART 1 ] [ PART 2 ]
FULL VERSION IS OUT NOW
"Oh my god, Jungkook, there!" You pointed to the door to your bathroom and Jungkook automatically looked there. "It's going inside my bathroom!"
Where I bath! Where I keep my body clean and⊠Jesus Christ⊠you were going to cry if that got inside your bathroom. You tolerated a lot of insects but weren't spiders too much? No?
"What the fuck?" Jungkook sounded incredulous when he said it, so you looked at him with worry. "How the hell did that thing get inside here?"
"I know!" You said, huffing. He was very nonchalant about the spider in your room just a few minutes ago but now he looked defensive. You caught the sight of him gripping the box he asked of you earlier, tighter. You knew he was gonna be intimidated by the spider too. "I told you it's freakishly big."
"Well, fuck me."
Your eyes instantly widened. "Jungkook, you can't give up."
"I'm not," He rolled his eyes. "Okay, you go out for a while just in case I fail at scaring it away and then it goes after you."
You stared at him blankly. "Don't say that."
Jungkook's serious face from a while ago broke to that of a shit-eating grin, and then he chuckled. "I'm kidding, silly. I'll take it out, just get out for a while."
You followed his instructions and opened the bedroom door to wait in the living area.
While you sat on the couch, you occasionally looked over your bedroom, fretting what was to come. You trusted Jungkook to get the spider out but it was taking too long. In the middle of it, you had the urge to knock and offer help but changed your mind. Getting bored eventually, you went to your fridge and took out the leftover pizza from today's afternoon meal. You ate the first slice, completely bored this time. On the second slice, you finally went over to your bedroom and stuck your ear to the door to supposedly eavesdrop, but then it opened suddenly as soon as you leaned down to do that.
Jungkook caught you by the waist just as quickly. He looked down at you.
"It's gone."
It was like his words caused a fireworks show and your eyes widened in enthusiasm.
"Really?" You shrieked. Breaking out of his hold, you wrapped your arms around his neck and jumped on him out of excitement. Jungkook was quick to hold you back again, chuckling at your zeal. He nodded nonetheless, but laughed even more when you kissed his cheek so fast that it almost felt like a smack, however a sweet one. "I have pizza." You said, remembering the food in your hand, trusting his grip on your thighs and removing one arm off his neck to hold up your last bite to his face.
"Thanks." Jungkook said, opening his mouth to receive the pizza you offered, even though it was so little.
Okay, you'd order a box later. He deserved it after getting that huge spider out of your place.
"No, thank you." You reiterated and planted a kiss on his mouth this time. He reciprocated automatically.
Still holding you against his body, Jungkook led you to your bed and laid you down on it. When he hovered over you, you stopped at the serious look he's got on his face.
"I really want to eat you out."
"Huh?"
"I want to eat you out, if you let me. You're so curious about it, anywayâŠ" he trailed off.
You still couldn't process his words completely. Did he mean what you were thinking? But didnât he just take out a spider?
âUhm, whereâs the spider?â You asked, just making sure it was gone before you got into anything frisky tonight.
âI took the box out and released it. Itâs okay. Itâs going to move somewhere else.â Jungkook convinced you.
You squinted your eyes at him. âYouâre really, one hundred percent sure itâs gone?â
âWell, I wouldnât be offering to eat you out if it wasnât, soâŠâ
At the mention of his offer again, you went quiet. You were indeed curious and youâve been wanting to. Gnawing at your bottom lip, you looked at Jungkook, meekly saying, âI want that, too, but uh, right now?" You confirmed, because as much as you wanted to say yes right away, you didn't exactly⊠made preparations for the event.
Jungkook nodded, decisive. "If you want it."
Yeah, you want it! Who were you kidding? But there was a little problem. When you said you didn't make preparations, you meant you didn't shave. It wasn't that you didn't do it ever, just occasionally, but despite fooling around for some weeks now, you never really anticipated this moment to come so there wasn't some deliberate choice to shave, especially not tonight. Although, personally, you thought it shouldn't matter, because women have hair. He wasn't supposed to judge you for that, right?
But then you realized, this was literally Jungkook. He took your lack of experience really seriously and hasn't ever genuinely made fun of you for it. He was always gentle with you when you tried new things. He was the least person who would actually side-eye you for anything â especially not something as inconsequential as pubic hair.
But despite that, there was still a bit of hesitance in your voice when you verbalized your dilemma.
"I didn't shave."
"I don't mind that," Jungkook said oh-so casually, like he really didn't. And looking into his eyes, you knew he was being sincere. Then he got curious, "Do you? I guess I should've asked when you blew me. I don't really shave, just trim."
Well⊠that was too much information.
But somehow, the thought of him trimming his hair was kind of making you giggly but, like, weirdly hot at the same time. No, yeah â that was weird. You were being weird about the whole thing.
You shook your head, partly to answer him but mostly to shake those thoughts of him taking care of his nether business away.
"I don't mind it, too." Was what you said. To be honest, you were too focused on his penis when you blew him that you didn't really notice that.
"Nice," Jungkook smiled. His fingers were beginning to trail over the hem of your nightgown and you could've slipped out a moan right there. "Then don't worry about it. Guys don't really think about anything other than pussy when they eat one. I mean, in my case at least." He said, chuckling at his words, such a deep sound that it made you squeamish.
It didn't help that he looked so good, wearing his glasses again. His hair has gotten so long over the past week and it was so curly, looked so silky and smooth you just wanted to grab at them while he ate you out.
Alright. That was it, then.

20 Questions for Fic Writers Tag Game
@birdylion tagged me :D
1. how many works do you have on AO3?
56.
2. whatâs your total AO3 word count?
440,219
3. what fandoms do you write for?
There've been quite a few over the years. Currently Goblin Emperor (slightly on the back burner while I unkink my writer's block) and Hands of the Emperor (just started dabbling, nothing posted yet). Before that Merlin, Green Rider, Realm of the Elderlings, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter predominantly, with little dips into Discworld, Sherlock, Sweep, Supernatural, Percy Jackson, Lady Trent, Life on Mars, Old Kingdom, Life on Mars, and MASH. I have some Narnia stuff kicking about in my drafts somewhere, and while I've never posted it I've been writing Animorphs fanfic for years.
4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Stairs Beneath the Heart: Goblin Emperor, a series of vignettes that runs parallel to the canon that I posted through the start of the pandemic and really enjoyed. It was the first time in ages I'd had a regular posting schedule, and the first time ever I'd had that much fandom attention on something I was writing - everyone was so lovely <3.
Take These Tower Stones: Goblin Emperor, the sequel to the above, a much more coherent and consistent story which everyone was again really supportive of <3
What Friends Are For: Discworld; Angua gives Vetinari the shovel talk. There's a big disparity in the stats between the previous two fics and the rest, so these last three were a surprise to me! I'm glad people liked them though :)
Fire in the Night: Merlin, somewhat angsty nightmare/comfort oneshot. Again, surprised to see this one so near the top, but pleasantly so.
The Michen Emperor: Goblin Emperor again, currently the bane of my existence because I can't seem to finish it (I will eventually, just need to unstick my brain). Really appreciate all the love people have shown it. Basically, what if canon but with smol!Maia.
7. whatâs the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably either Take These Towers Stones, or Red Sky (which is a tiny little snippet of fluff).
8. do you get hate on fics?
I've had a few shitty comments, and mostly I've just deleted them. I've never had any extended hate campaigns or anything, just people who mistakenly thought their dislike was worth expressing.
9. do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Occasionally; usually though not always queer, normally pretty tame. I read smut usually without worrying about the warnings, but I'm a bit too shy to comment on it, and I think that extends to my writing, haha. Maybe I'll get the hang of it some day :)
10. do you write crossovers?
Nah, for some reason they don't work for me at all - almost a squick, I don't read them either. The closest I got was considering a fic where the characters from Green Rider had diplomatic contact with the characters from the Chronicles of Ixia series, but I never ended up getting there.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I don't think so - I should probably put in my Ao3 that people are welcome to if they like, I keep forgetting. I'd be honoured if anyone wanted to.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope; I'm very picky and not good at compromise, though it's something I'd like to work on one day. It'd have to be very low stakes and with someone very patient!
15. Whatâs a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
Lines of Silver and Gold (Realm of the Elderlings) is probably my oldest fic that is both posted and unfinished, and I have no current plans to work on it. I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to come back to it, but that book series was my thesis topic and unfortunately I rather burnt myself out on it, so it might be a long while.
The Queen Rider series was originally going to have two more fics, but those have been scrapped; fortunately it resolves quite nicely as is. Maybe I will put up a little misc fic with what I do have of the rest some day.
And on a more positive note, my Animorphs fic - it was originaly going to be a full written-through story spanning a considerable post-canon period, but unfortunately I lost the original in a harddrive failure and while I rewrote some of it I rather lost my enthusiasm for it. However, I have been reconsidering lately and might post what exists as a series of loosely connected vignettes; we'll see.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue is what I find easy and what I've received the most compliments on; I think this is because a lot of my fic is drafted "out loud" before I get anywhere near setting it to page, so the first iteration is often predominantly speech. I'm also often told I'm good at mimicking the tone of the canon, if I'm writing for a book fandom.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Research (I'll do it if it's something that will otherwise potentially hurt people, but other than that I have neither the effort nor the inclination), and making things messy - that is, I tend to tidy things up a lot and I'm not good at letting my characters get things wrong/communicate badly/etc. Good for fix-its, less good for creating challenges in the story.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I am depressingly monolingual so I don't do it in my fics; as to what everyone else does I think they should have fun and do whatever they like, I suppose. Not enough knowledge to have more of an opinion than that.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter was my gateway fandom.
20. Favourite fic youâve written?
Ohhhh tough one. I'm immensely proud of the Keystone series (The Stairs Beneath the Heart and Take These Tower Stones), so they're solid candidates, but I also really like The Shadow of the Mountains (Lady Trent) and Miracles (Realm of the Elderlings), the latter of which contains possibly my favourite line of prose I've written.
I'm tagging @the-tao-of-fandom, @pipuhattar, @alittlefellowinawideworld, @nonasuch, and anyone else who'd like to answer!
