hi!! i'm back lol - well, the craziness at work is done and I'm slowly getting back to writing bc I haven't written in like a week and it's killing me lol (this is gonna sound dramatic but I literally don't feel like myself if I don't write for too long haha) I don't have anything new to share rn, but I figured since it's already december and since some of y'all are sharing Christmas fics, and knowing I likely won't write one this year, I'm gonna shamelessly plug my holiday fake dating fic with 4 Christmases and 6 Christmas chapters actually 😂 (Christmas was a very important time for Buck and Eddie's relationship in this lol) - there's obvi more holidays in this but anyway, here's a snippet of their first Christmas together also, it's been a year since I posted the first chapter and I'm feeling nostalgic lol, this fic is my baby and I love it so much (tho there's so many things I'd change now lol)

Turns out, Buck is very much serious about the whole thing, and Christopher finds it hilarious and is eager to play along. Eddie doesn’t have valid arguments not to do it, and it’s not like he doesn’t want to. After another snide comment when talking to his parents, he made his decision. And he already felt this exciting feeling of satisfaction when he told them he’d be bringing someone for Christmas this year – miraculously, Buck and Eddie don’t work on Christmas, and they took an additional day off, so their schedules allow for a three-day trip to Texas. 

So now, it’s Christmas Eve and they’re on their way from the airport to Eddie’s childhood home, and he’s nervous, doubts just starting to seep in. What on earth possessed him to do this? He can’t lie to his family. He can’t pretend to be in love with Buck. What if he really does fall in love with him? What if everything goes to shit? He’s watched enough movies to know it’s a bad idea, but he couldn’t and still can’t bring himself to stop it.

“So.” Eddie says, his voice shaking slightly, as they sit in a cab. “We’re doing this.”

“Yep.” he can hear Buck grin next to him. “Unless you still wanna back out?” he adds quickly. They could still say Buck’s just a friend. No big deal. But Eddie does have this petty desire to stir something up, and this seems perfect. 

“No. It’ll be fine.” he smiles at Buck, and then feels hot when Buck grabs his hand and interlaces their fingers, winking at him. Christopher laughs.

“You’d make a great couple.” he comments. He’s been unusually happy about all of this. He also asked Eddie a few days ago if Eddie loves Buck, which prompted a conversation, but he thinks Chris knows what’s going on now. Eddie doesn’t really know what to think about that.

“Thanks, buddy.” Buck responds excitedly, squeezing Eddie’s hand, and he can’t contain a smile. If not anything else, at least all three of them are going to have a lot of fun.

OKAY LAST LOUIS POST FOR TONIGHT I PROMISE (PROBABLY) (I MIGHT BE LYING)

I keep thinking about how cute Louis is in the TRGB episode with his nephew, and how the two of us would probably babysit for him SO often, to the point where he starts to see us more as parental figures than his own parents since they hardly pay any attention to him. but I'm ALSO thinking about how Lawrence probably wouldn't like me at first and would lash out when Louis starts seeing me, bc he's so used to people not paying attention to him and he thinks I'm gonna steal all of Louis' time and attention away 😭😭😭

(this ofc is resolved as he slowly realizes "OHHH this means I'm getting attention from TWO PEOPLE??" and that I care about him :'))

[insaneclownpussi]

wild day yesterday that ended in an intervention for my dad. but really what i cant stop thinking about is the person i kissed right before i left austin…

[shoyostar]

vie !! can i ask about some of the winter activities you and shoyo enjoy doing together? :3

sweet manon!! hi, how are you !! so happy you asked this ueueue i’ve been thinking it over for awhile now >_< only wrote out a few (def more but i didnt want to bore you) and theyre under the cut cuz i rambled a lil, sorry!

- baking / cooking!

every winter we do a lil foodie tradition! trying to bake / cook smth new for every weekend leading up to christmas! it’s usually baking bcs its the holidays but when we’re snowed in pretty heavily its nice to cook up a warm meal together and then sit together on the couch all cozied up w a blanket:3 and and i get to cook up some of my filo dishes for him! in return he cooks japanese food >_< we also do a lot of traditional baked goods too like gingerbread cookies + houses, brownies and cookies!! (not a baked good but hot chocolate is vv present in our house during winter! mostly for me tho cuz sho can’t have too much sugar >_<)

- shopping!

me and sho love to do winter / christmas shopping sprees, usually for winter coats when we visit japan to see his old friends or for gifts! it’s so so romantic when we’re at like an outlet and snow is falling around us while we’re holding our shopping bags while hand in hand w eachother 😖💗 anddd we get to have a lot of fun bonding when out!! our shopping trips can take hourss but shoyo doesn’t mind:3 and we get each other a couple lil early christmas gifts too during them hehe

- tobogganing!

mostly bcs of my childhood but i love tobogganing in winter and its so fun w sho! we love going to hugee undisturbed hills w fresh snow so we can have fun in peace ^^ and i love when we do it while it’s snowing bcs its just so exhilarating seeing flurries of snowflakes pass us by while barrelling down LMAO one time we were tobogganing and somehow our sled like struck smth but we TUMBLED down like huge snowballs to the bottom and got snow everywhere in our coats, super cold and a lil unpleasant (bcs i rlly dislike feeling cold … ) BUT WE WERE LAUGHING SO MUCH IT OVERPOWERED THAT!! and it gave me an excuse to cuddle him later for warmth hehe

it's almost loki getting drawn in sweaters with knitted deer humping each other season ☺️🎄⛄️

[lightfulonion]

hello @skijjiki!!! thanks for tagging me friend!!!!

Favorite time of year: every single day that i grace this beautiful planet ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ I unironically love Christmas so much. I love the cold and I love the fact that we can slack for a little bit and I love having an excuse and indulge myself by seeing and meeting with my loved ones. I also love spring! (<- spoken with the privilege of someone who only has mild allergies) And summer when it isn't boiling outside!

Favorite drinks: boba, COFFEE, ginger ale, wine (the semisweet ones and especially semisweet red wine ❤), fresh squeezed orange juice, HOT MILK WITH HONEY and generally whatever has sugar in it

Collect anything?: Littlest Pet Shop!!! When i was in kindergarden there was that one kid that had SACKS of lps and from then on i decided that it was my fate to defeat them... (i just said to my mum to buy me lps whenever she could and i also asked her every christmas to tell santa claus i needed the big packs with them) I also have collections of rocks and shells from different beaches that i went to! Lately i try to collect stickers from cons and such (<-literally has went to one (1) con so far) and chupa-chups cans bc they look pretty 👉👈 (not sponsored)

Favorite fics: OH BOY OH BOY! DO I HAVE THE FICS FOR YOU! I'll try to be brief: 💼 OK NO JOKE, I'll try to be brief: (in no particular order, except for the first one) 1) it's not living (if it's not with you) by brella (hq!!) TOP 1!!! IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS FELLAS! Legit, tsukkiyama isnt even my thing but this one ticks all my boxes: desperate lead? check. the grumpy one mellows out for the sunshine one? check. the inherent value of change and becoming better by loving and wanting to express it properly and by that becoming a better person? check. GROUNDHOG DAY AU?? YES PLEASE! It's.. It's very good. Please give it a read if you want. (brella has written many good hq fics btw please check them out!) 2) Work-Related Risk Factors by parkernoir (mp100) Case fic, angsty and probably my favourite mp100 ever! It has Serizawa! It has Tome! It has Reigen trauma! It made me cry my eyes out in agony! I have a very soft spot for this. It has serirei in it but mostly it's gen if i remember correctly? yeah 3) beginners by silvercistern (mp100) fair warning it's about sex and it doesn't have just steamy scenes, it discusses generally sex and stuff. That being said it has ace Reigen in it and it made me cry 👍 4) The Negligible Self by ch_am (mp100) anything and everything by camp is a gift honestly. Angsty generally, full of whump specifically, it makes the soft, tender moments hit better and it's still in progress! Join the fun as i lose my mind with every single update! Yay! (people in the comments in ao3 are also trying to find out what is going on and it's fun) (it has a prequel too which is really good and canon-adjacent) 5) Kintsugi by SpicyChibi (mp100) it took me a week to recover from reading this. mp100 fanwriters have a way of capturing the vulnerability of serirei in a way that physically hurts me. Tender, good, I love them, I love them, I love them. Ongoing and 90,000 words so far. 6) Like A Cheap Suit, You Can Wear Me Out by Vulcanodon (mp100) written like a romantic comedy and made me laugh at every twist and turn of the plot. The last scene is forever ingrained in me and it actually makes me emotional. Case fic again and a very fun one 7) Heart Rate Rapid by Justkeeptrekkin (mp100) teacher au, all the children in one class, ongoing, literally finshed it yesterday, ACE REIGEN BELOVED. (so far no explicit content so don't pay too much mind to the rating, there are discussions of sex but only briefly and on a surface level) I love their banter and the transition from friendship to something more... sigh 8) where the night goes by bigspoonnoya (hq!!) 'the sad gay with the happy ending' tag got to me. I love bittersweet stories with happy endings (can you tell) and this one has kagehina in it.... utterly head over heels for stories where they meet many years later. 9) fake it, make it by zadderlee (hq!!) FAVOURITE KAGEHINA FIC RIGHT THERE! ongoing since good old 2019 but the author has said they are going to continue it at some point! good characterisation, i had forgotten how good it is but i keep getting back to this. 10) That Baby Does Not Belong to You (But It Could) by multifascinate (talkativelock) (hq!!) bokuaka with baby hinata. need i say more. oh, yeah and they are 20-somethings. And in college. the romance aspect is there but it mostly focuses on other things. And i love it.

anyway these are my ao3 recs bone apple teeth (pay attention to the content warnings and the tags. thanks!)

Favorite video games: i am an awful gamer but generally the story-based ones intrigue me and the ones that are fun to play together with friends! Disco elysium, Ace attorney, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros and animal crossing!

i tag @livingonyoghurtandspite @horson @raph-red-fan and whoever wants to do this ✌ ( cough please give me fic recs i beg cough)

[lochnessies]

[marsixm]

feeling alright but tired after work despite how busy and annoying customers were today, like this one lady, bless her bc she was very nice, was like ‘do you have more flowers in the back’ and i was like ‘uh can you be more specific’ and she was like ‘no<3′

[zelinxia]

Hope there’s still some good cake option at Trader Joes tomorrow when we do our groceries run. Gotta get something good for best boy’s birthday 👀

also i love a lot books written by laura gallego, shes a spanish author who writes fantasy mainly and i really love her stories! my fave ones are (im gonna write the names in spanish and then translate them myself bc i looked and her books arent translated in english, or at least these ones arent :() donde los arboles cantan (where the trees sing), the trilogy memorias de idhún (idhun memories? memoirs??) and the trilogy guardianes de la ciudadela (guardians of the citadel)!

oh and i also love a whole lot another trilogy by some other spanish authors too, called secretos de la luna llena (secrets of the full moon) by iria g. parente and selene m. pascual!

26. how many pictures you have on your phone? okay so i just looked and i have a total of 14306 pics on my phone???? this might be counting some videos too but still thats. way more than i thought oh my god

Ho ho ho! CK secret santa here. 🎅 Tis the season for wishes and magic. While I do have the start of a wishlist I'd like to check it twice and ask some follow-up questions. What are some tropes or things you don't see often that when you go hunting for in a story you don't always find or find rarely or haven't found or even just always love? Depending on the capabilities of ...well me, I'd like to make sure I attempt to hit a few of those at least to sprinkle in. No matter what it is, (spicy or not) I'll try my best to fit some in beyond the main things which are semi-rare you already mentioned in your wishlist. (Those I got on my list and they're underlined.) There's quite an ensemble of cast to assign parts to beyond our headliners, would you like them all? Or does it depend on the tale as it unfolds? (Chozen, cobras (all?), Miguel, Robby.) I ask because cannon has put some of them beyond the grave by the time our other friends hit the center stage or are er...indisposed (sad harmonica jail blues) but I can fetch them because the fun thing with this is that canon and time don't have to be abided by thanks to ~Santa magic~ Speaking of cannon, or really set design. Would you like a seasonal piece or would you rather to avoid winter holidays? An AU or something set more closer to cannon? (Does the setting matter? Not everyone celebrates or likes the winter holidays and they can be avoided) *pushes a snow machine off the stage* I'd rather not give you something you don't want on accident. That's it for now -your CK secret santa 🎅

Ooohhhh hullo CK secret santa! First of all no obligation to hit tropes, I realize my tropes may not be your tropes and that's okay!

What I go looking for in stories shbdsdbakdjgh uh well uhhh look it's obvious I'm a johnny simp okay so I'm going to apologize for that right off the bat

But ok - big sucker for any sort of Johnny trying to be a decent adult/mentor/parent for once esp. if the kids are involved (Miguel, or Robby or Sam). Unlearn the way of the fist king

Also massively in love with the friction of Sam preferring teacher Johnny and Robby preferring teacher Daniel and all the issues (and learning) that causes?

Another fun one is people standing up for CK Johnny. I see a lot of Mr. Miyagi trains TKK Johnny, or any sort of reforming TKK Johnny where it's easier for people to see why he's a trashfire. It's harder to feel sympathetic for CK Johnny because hey man you've had 35 years to be better, which is why I think it's easier for people to miss when he tries as an adult. It doesn't help that he's very bad at asking for help. basically let ck johnny realize he has friends who aren't one (1) Miguel

Ensemble cast HmmMMMmm, well clearly big fan of Robby or Miguel or Sam. Also in love with John Kreese and his weird fucked up dad vibes. And hilariously in love with any Terry Silver interaction with Johnny bc of their shared rich kid fucked up by kreese history. he really did that two whole times huh

I do not care about any sort of winter holiday setting, if that helps! Anything that serves the story is all I care about, so you do you in the style of you!

I also sent in a message to the ck santa mod about a better way of communicating in case you had more Qs!
