Arun (អរុណ) in my language, and in Hindi as well, i suspect, means DAWN, means DAYBREAK, means THE RED-GOLD OF THE RISING SUN

for a child who is named after the first ray of the Sun to be turned into a creature of the endless night... how cruel, how sad

“I should probably get back to work,” the Corinthian says. “What are you going to do?”

Morpheus is still on the bed, reclining on the torn pillows. “I... do not know,” he says. “I should go to my lady, and ask her for my function.”

The Corinthian tries to imagine him kneeling in front of Rose, asking for something to do, and can’t.

This snippet (opted for more than a line just to give a little more context XD) is from “In Occursum Dei”. Current word count is 22k, including the outline. ^_^;;

[pomidorfriend]

just dropping by to tell u how much ily bcs my fingers snagged on the spine of The Gift of Rain on my bookshelf and was reminded once more of u & ur big brain & ur amazing taste in literatures

i love that book so much; i did not think i'd love that book this much but here we are... i think about it A LOT

so, thank youuuu

my dude, by reminding me about The Gift of Rain you made me want to re-read it 😭 I have a tower of books waiting for me, I need to get to them first 😂 But The Gift of Rain is without a doubt the best book I read last year (probably one of my fav books generally) and I am so glad you liked it (since no one else was convinced by my constant praise and they're sooo missing out)

I am always sad that this book has no fandom. I can't let Philip and Endo out of my mind. Maybe I will need to re-read it after all 😂😂

Old Fashioned Cupcake: Epilogue [ENG SUB]

The DVD version of Old Fashioned Cupcake had this little epilogue clip, and ever since I first watched it, I've been dying to make my own subtitles for it.

RAW was so gently provided by @noona96n thank you so so so much!!

The dialogue for this show is so insanely well written. Everything is so natural and both men are incredible actors, I wish there was any way I could convey in script exactly how much personality, character and story they each bring in even just this 3 minute clip. I really do hope we get to see more from them, even though Japan doesn't usually pair actors in the same way as especially Thailand does. Season 2 please ;___; ?

“You’re a dog, Bradshaw.” “Bradshaw hyphen Seresin, actually.” Or Jake and Bradley are on their honeymoon and Bradley has a better use for his mouth than their old toxic banter.

Too Hot to Handle by callsign_striker {E}

Bradley isn't convinced about his latest posting to NAS Key West, Florida. But everything happens for a reason - even, it seems, when the air conditioner breaks.

The Tiniest Problem by BeautifulCreature {G}

Bradley has an allergic reaction to his and Jake's new puppy.

wreck my plans (that's my man) by Ravens_Words {T}

Fake dating turns into a fake engagement, which then snowballs into a fake (almost) wedding.

going back to the corner where i first saw you by iridescent {M}

Bradley’s just about resolved to finally call it a day when the power goes out. They’re plunged into immediate, opaque darkness. There’s a lengthy pause. Bradley’s pulse slowly creeps upward as the seconds tick by, an anxious tension coiling in his gut. It truly is pitch-black; he can’t even see the outline of his hand a few inches from his face. “Christ.” Jake’s voice cuts sharply through the stale air, breezy and amused. “And here I was assuming the millions in funding included routine generator maintenance.”

Feels Like Home by MayWilder

a window breaks down a long dark street {M}

“I’m gonna go inside,” Jake murmurs against his lips, despite how they’re flush against one another and he isn’t pulling away. “I am.” He bites at Bradley’s lower lip, prompting the other man to tighten his grip on his hips. “Remind me again why?” “Cause we’re taking it slow and proper,” Jake reminds him. He lets his hands fall down the slope of Bradley’s shoulders and squeezes his biceps. “Dates. Holding hands. Maybe even a date where we hold hands.” Bradley chuckles and ducks his face down into Jake’s neck. “Right. Romance.” *** alternatively titled: Four Times Jake Romances Bradley + 1 Time Bradley Romances Him Back

something to be sheltered {T}

“My wife has asked that you join us for dinner tomorrow night,” Beau says carefully. “Your wife, sir?” Jake’s brow furrows. “Why would she like to meet me?” “She thinks its important that my mentee sees a healthy work-life balance.” “I’m your mentee?” Jake teases, smirking lightly. “And you talk about me enough that your wife wants to meet me?” “You can continue to be a pain in my ass,” Beau sighs, looking up at the ceiling. “Or, you can take the offer of a free dinner with a beautiful and intellectually stimulating woman.” “Oh, I definitely want to see this side of Cyclone,” Jake grins. “Domesticated.” “You’re bordering on impertinence.” “Me? Never.” “Let’s go back to when you respected me and my position.” Jake appears to settle down, but only slightly. He clears his throat and squares his shoulders. “I’d be honored to attend dinner with your family, Admiral. Just tell me a date and time.” *** or, Beau Simpson didn't mean to adopt a fully grown naval aviator, but, you know; shit happens.

all the love i didn't get to tell her {T}

Her birthday was always the worst. The anniversary of her death was manageable. It had been a day that Bradley was anticipating with dread, but it had been expected. Watching her finally close her eyes and take her last breath had come with an ugly mix of emotions. Pain, at never hearing her voice again. Relief, that she was no longer in pain. Selfish relief, that he was released from the burden of watching her deteriorate. Guilt, at the relief. And all together, it was Bradley’s grief. That terrible grief that had him clutching her lifeless hand, hours after it began to stiffen and Hospice hadn’t arrived, and - oh god, his mother was dead. Carole Bradshaw would never again make whole the lives of those around her. All of the horrible people in the world, and the beautiful shining light that was Carole Bradshaw, was out.

High Flight by GreenB3ans {T}

About post-mission life, focusing on the “found family” aspect of “Top Gun.”

hangster slice o' life by whoreothins

close shave {T}

He imagines grasping Bradley’s chin, tilting his head just so as the razor rasps down his neck, and - yep, he could kiss Mav right now. Jake looks up, waggling his eyebrows and holding up the razor. “You mentioned a shave, sweetheart?” he drawls. Bradley is a bit unkempt for Mav’s wedding. Jake helps.

Chicken soup {G}

Well, let’s see,” Bradley says dryly, ticking the items off with his fingers as he goes, “you developed viral pneumonia from God knows where - probably one of our students - and had a fever of 104 degrees, which is the critical threshold for medical attention, you vomited all over our living room, and you were delirious, so I rushed you to the ER.” turns out Rooster is a mother hen, after all.

like, what up, I got a big cock

“Wait. Why is your callsign Rooster, anyway?” Phoenix snorts beer up her nose. or, what happens when Hangman doesn't know how to quit when he's ahead.

imagine being loved by me

This is… it’s fucking nice, is what it is. It feels easy in a way that Jake never would have expected it to. It’s gotta be because they’re going back to their normal lives tomorrow, no pressure of having to see each other every day to make it awkward. A decent amount of mutual attraction helps, too.   The morning after, and beyond.

Favorite Poison by AncientAviators {M}

Reprieve (Can You Ever Forgive Me?)

“Exactly. If you wanna—” Maverick waves his hand, shaking his head— “I dunno, go start up a ranch somewhere, then do it. If you wanna go back to school, then go back to school, start a family, don’t start a family, get married or never settle down. Follow your dreams. Figure out if you even have any other dreams. Don’t…” He pauses, voice quieting, going soft and sincere, and Bradley’s chest aches a bit. “I don’t want you to ever limit yourself just because you feel like you owe it to your dad, Bradley.” A brief moment of silence. He knows he probably shouldn't ask, he might not be able to handle the answer. “Is that why you stuck around?” “Because of my dad, or because I felt like I owed it to yours?” Maverick asks, eyes coming back up, a small, sad smile on his lips. He holds Bradley’s gaze, the fire flickering on his face, the shadows dancing and disappearing before coming back in rapid succession. Or: Post-Mission healing, Jake and Bradley have history, and Bradley's trying to figure out his life.

The Hand That Feeds

He kind-of wants to be, honestly. He really wants to be. He thinks he could spend the rest of his life with Bradley, doing just this. Coming home to each other, having dinner together, falling asleep in the same bed. Maybe it’s the few sips of wine he had or he’s just losing his mind, but he can almost imagine himself giving up flying for Bradley, if it meant more time with him. They got lucky, being kept as a squadron. Jake needs to thank Iceman, Maverick, and Cyclone. He’ll have to send gift baskets.

what time is it where you are (i miss you more than anything) by cryinginthebronco {G}

Sipping on his coffee, Jake unlocks his phone and smiles to himself when he’s greeted by a stream of new messages. There are a few from his sisters and Javy, but he gets those out of the way with short replies. The thread he leaves for last is filled with short messages, photos, and a couple of videos, and Jake has to bite his lip to keep himself from smiling like an idiot. It takes him a couple of sweeps to get to the first unread message that makes warmth spread in his chest as he reads it. or jake and bradley trying to navigate a long-distance relationship

You've Got Me Hypnotized by theinsouciantknitter {E}

Jake has a problem. A six foot one, hundred and eighty pound, absolutely fucking stacked problem. It’s got auburn curls, rugged scars, honey brown eyes. It’s the kind of problem that makes him want to slam his head into a wall and then maybe mope over a Jane Austen novel. The problem haunts both his dreams and his waking hours. The problem also hates him, which is just the icing on the cake because the problem is Bradley Bradshaw, and Jake is in love with him.

Slow Down by UnicornFlowers {G}

“So he summons all his charm and from the depths of his chest manages to gather the words, “Are you getting tired of me?” Those…those weren’t the words he gathered. So why did they come out?” Or: Jake deserves endless love.

Shake it off by Happytree {E}

“This is the bit that’s going to piss you off,” Jake warned, “so think of tonight as an apology and a final hurrah okay Roo.” “What the hell did Mav dare you?” Jake took a deep breath as he looked him in the eyes, “No sex for two weeks.” “That asshole!”

Your Voice Can Take Me There by greenstuff {E}

“I’m not that drunk,” Bradley protests. Jake stops pushing him and falls in step at his side instead. Bradley immediately misses the warm pressure against his back. “So you don’t want to go back to your place?” Jake asks in an undertone.

got me like nobody by magdarko {G}

The Daggers organize a reunion six months after the mission. So, of course, they play strip poker.

The Highs and Lows of Having a Naval Aviator as Your Omega by hockeyandfootballismyish {T}

Bradley wasn’t quite sure when he started to refer to Hangman- no Jake as his omega. It may have been sometime after the Mission when his omega saved his life and simultaneously gaining his second kill to cement his title as one of the best currently or maybe it was when they hooked up for the first time and Bradley couldn’t help but stare in absolute awe at the man riding his knot and taking his pleasure as he pleased.

A Life With Blondes by Aphroditedany {T}

Two years after the events of Top Gun : Maverick and an ugly accident involving Jake, Bradley and Maverick, the Dagger Squad members discover an interesting fact about Jake's personal life.

it simply is by hypnagogicpunisher {M}

It starts simply. The other Daggers joke about changing his callsign to Pheidippides, ask him when he’s running his next marathon. They’ve seen him pushing through the workouts, running the extra mile, the deepest, ugliest parts of his soul hopes they’ve noticed physical change with that too. And unsaid words sting in the back of his throat that Pheidippides died at the end of his run.

’til the storm breaks loose by vannral {E}

'”Do you want to stay?” Rooster asks, willing to meet him half-way since Jake can’t get a goddamn word out. Jake lifts his chin, his jaw clenched so hard he might crack his teeth into ground up glass.' In which Bradley’s going into heat, Jake checks up on him and they’re faced with just how much they mean to each other. (+snapshots of their life together afterwards.)

Use Your Words and Everything Will be Alright by HopeaLumi {E}

They've been dating for almost two years and Rooster still has trouble communicating and Hangman... is hanging in there.

young | numb | starved by crueltether {G}

“Where’s your head, Bradshaw?” Jake asks softly, letting the backs of his fingers trail a path up the valley of Bradley’s abs to the hollow of his chest and then back down. “Y’been quiet since we got here.”

what momma don't know by collieflower {M}

“You never told your Momma we got married.” Bradley tensed under him before shooting straight up to his elbows. Jake jostled, ending up with his hands propped up on either side of Bradley, bare inches from his face. “Shit,” Bradley hissed. “Yeah, shit.”  - When Bradley learned that Mav pulled his papers, he was angry. When he learned it was on his mother's request? He was furious. In which the Bradshaw-Mavericks are too stubborn to have an essential conversation, and Bradley's been running so long he'd accidentally left his mother behind.

Where Most of Love is Found by thatsquirrelfromiceage {M}

“It won’t be your fault, okay?” Hangman continues. “None of it. But you have to go, now. There’s no point in both of us dying.” There’s a gentleness to his tone that before today, Phoenix would have scarcely believed him capable of. Unforgivably, she feels the anger start to ebb away, despair crawling up through her veins to take its place. “The point,” she growls through tears, “is that you’re my team. You’re my team, Bagman. I am not leaving you behind.” Or: a year after the suicide mission, and six months after the Daggers have reunited to form their own squadron, Natasha and Jake are caught in a gas explosion.

he loves me, i love him not by hey_its_me88 {M}

Exactly three days before their leave ends, before he gets shipped off to Japan and Bradley to Florida, Jake opens his door to find the mustached pilot standing on his steps with a bouquet of roses. Jake shuts the door.

speak low if you speak love by andrealyn {T}

You'd think that after the Dagger mission, Hangman and Rooster would pull their heads out of their asses and realize that they're both being idiots about how they clearly want to get together. Unfortunately for everyone around them, their stubbornness reigns supreme. It leaves their friends with no choice but to Much Ado the shit out of matchmaking them together.

Fire in the Blood and Smoke in the Air by MadeItUp {M}

Dirty and Sweet (Get it on)

As things wind down after the mission, Rooster struggles with a need for something a little dangerous. That something absolutely should not – cannot – be Jake Seresin. But a little friendly competition and a lot of alcohol can go a long way to changing a man's mind. Hangman eyes Rooster’s empty beer, then his own. “How about that second shot?” “You tryna put me off my game?” “I don’t need you drunk to beat you, Rooster.” “What do you need me drunk for?”

feels good to know one thing

Jake doesn’t have the best relationship with his family, so when he’s summoned home for a special occasion, he calls up the one person he can trust to stick with him – after all, Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw has never ever lost a wingman. But he’s about to find out that getting shot down in enemy territory to save Mav was a whole lot easier than surviving a long weekend chez Seresin. “So it’s a big family thing?” Jake says carefully. “Everyone bringing their partners?” “Well of course, Charlie’s promised to bring the kids and I’ve not even met Matty’s new girlfriend—” “So that means I can bring someone?” Silence on the line. His mom is no fool. She knows when she’s been played. “Of course, Jakey,” she says. “You’re welcome to bring anyone you like.”

Will Get Fooled Again

Personal history isn’t enough to get in the way of professional opportunity, and when Lieutenant Commanders Jake Seresin and Bradley Bradshaw are selected to develop a pioneering Strategy Development Program at TopGun, working with the best young aviators the fleet has to offer, each figures they’re up to the challenge both in the air and on the ground. After all, a little rivalry can heighten the senses and bring out the best results… Or it can bring out something else altogether. “I’m not hard to impress,” Jake says, laying the cue down on the table. “I just don’t like people kissing my ass.” “Really?” Rooster says, and there’s a marginally lower register to his voice, a flicker of something crossing his expression that has excitement sparking in Jake’s gut. Walking round to take his drink from where he’s left it, Jake faces the others, resting the ass in question on the table and taking a sip of his drink, before answering. “Hero worship’s for people who don’t know their own worth.” He flashes a winning smile at his friends. “Some of us don’t need it.”

The Dagger Squad by BeccaAnne814 {M}

After the Dagger Squad proved they were the best of the best, the Navy decides to keep the team together. These hotheaded pilots love to tease and torment each other, so how much worse will it be when they’re all living under the same roof?

Sweet Tooth by xo_em

Tiramisu (Take Me Home) {T}

It’s always like this - going home. It takes so much out of him. But what is leave for, if not family?

What a Great Word, Milkshake {T}

Bradley curses Natasha under his breath. He’d let slip in recent conversation that he might be developing decidedly not-so-platonic feelings for the man currently sitting in his passenger seat. A mistake, apparently.

No Sweeter Fruit Than This (Apple Pie) {E}

There are a few peculiar things of note about Jake Seresin.

No More Wasting Time by DraconisWing24441 {E}

Having just completed a mission that required multiple miracles, Bradley thinks the most miraculous thing of all is that he’s not furious at Maverick anymore. Or Hangman. Now that his relationship with Maverick is on the mend after talking about their past, Bradley starts to realize some other things. Like the fact that Hangman isn't such a bad guy and he maybe actually really likes him, like, a lot. Jake, meanwhile, starts to realize that Bradley may not, in fact, hate him for being an ass, while also trying to hide the fact that he’s been in love with Rooster for years. Without the anger characterizing every interaction, Bradley and Jake are left with the conclusion that there's more there that they hadn’t realized until now. But, as Bradley and Jake's icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected. Letting go of the past and respective fears is harder than they thought, but when it comes down to it, the question remains: will they have the courage to leap off their perches and take the shot?

I took the stars from your eyes and then I made a map by dalearden {E}

Before Jake knows it, his jaw has dropped and the gears in his brain have stopped turning as he struggles to process what he’s seeing. He’s seen Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw all dressed up before, a few times over through the course of their respective careers that kept forcing them together as though fate was playing a twisted little game with them, but somehow, this time it hits different.

Can You Feel My Heart? by bubbles_1801 {T}

I Can't Drown My Demons, They Know How To Swim

A few months after the mission marks the 5th anniversary of Jake’s first air-to-air kill. After a poorly timed comment from one Bradley Bradshaw, Jake spirals into a depression. Can his new found family rescue him from himself? More importantly, will he let them?

I'm Scared To Get Close, And I Hate Being Alone

After an unexpected voicemail from his father, Jake finds himself getting a migraine for the first time in years. The pain is almost too much to bare and he's still unsure of his standing within his newfound family. Cue Bradley being the best boyfriend and Ice and Mav being the worried parents that they are. Set between the main story and epilogue of I Can't Drown My Demons, They Know How To Swim.

Misconceptions by SamHeartfilia {M}

Jake "Hangman" Seresin received an incomplete mating claim from one Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw a week after graduating from the Naval Academy. No one but his best friend know, and now that the uranium mission is over, things are looking up. His claim is completed and he's feeling like himself for the first time in years. Of course, everything starts change when his secrets come out. Secrets he was only just coming to terms with himself.

the shapes of love by winterbitch {T}

sink your teeth into me (keep me)

Rooster doesn't need to know what animal Hangman shifts into, but he sure wants to find out. It's just another piece of the man he's hopelessly in love with, and he wants to know everything, no matter how much his friends tease him. Through a series of events, he finally finds out, and maybe gets more than expected Or shifter au where rooster is a wolf, hangman is [redacted], there's a LOT of pining, and icemav are cute together (ice is a tiger, mav is a fennec). they get their happy end

I see forever in your eyes

Having gotten together (and engaged in the same day), Rooster and Hangman don't get any less annoying with their behaviour. Rooster would even argue that their friends are more annoyed with them now, but he's too deliriously happy to care. He has the love of his life by his side, his friends surrounding him, and he's getting married. Life is great (and it's about to get even better) Or shifter au with smitten puppy rooster, disgustingly in love hangster, some background icemav and ANOTHER proposal

“I’ve bedded you, drank from your blood, ate from your flesh,” a nib to her ear lobe, a bite on her jaw, “we’re bonded in the ways of Old Valyria”

A Savory Assortment of Fic Recs Part 2

Part 2 of the miscellaneous fandom recs I've gathered. Here you will find KinnPorshe, Sense8, Color Rush, We Best Love, Cal Leandros, The Witcher and Until We Meet Again

KinnPorshe

Where Power Resides by Laughsalot3412

Porsche snorts and ducks his head to hide a smile. It’s something Kinn would find cute if another man did it.

It is not cute on Porsche, because Kinn is about to serve him up to his sadistic cousin as a chew toy, so nothing Porsche does is allowed to be classified as cute.

Also, Porsche is the most annoying person Kinn has ever met.

(After epsiode 2, Kinn gets Porsche through a punishment by using bdsm power dynamics. He does it so well that it earns him the love of his life. Also, there are brothers. Just so, so many brothers.)

The power in the taking by iffervescent

They warned him, when he started working for the Theerapanyakun clan. Forget leadership, forget duty to his people, forget all that – they warned him. Kinn Theerapanyakun, clan heir: obsessed with power.

Porsche should have fucking listened.

Sense8

Felix+ by Chancy_Lurking

Felix Brenner and the Cluster.

Color Rush

whale fall by noona96n

a whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor and create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades - this is a series of 'insert' & future fics that are canon compliant, just spicier and Yoohan/Yeonwoo relationship started out a lot more ambiguously

Tangled up in Blue by Madd4the24

"Run away with me," Yoohan said, pulling at Yeonwoo's hand, desperation and worry etched into his features. "Run away with me so we can be together. If we stay, they'll tear us apart. I won't get to have you anymore, Yeonwoo, and they might hurt you. Run away with this idiot and be happy with me."

"You are an idiot," Yeonwoo replied. "Where would we go? What would we do? Use your brain. We'd be caught right away. We're seventeen."

Once more, Yoohan implored, "Run away with me right now. While we still have a chance. Before the last bus leaves. We have to at least try."

Yeonwoo shook his head, "Running away will only make it look like I've kidnapped you even more."

"Only," Yoohan replied, "if we get caught."

(Or rather, Yoohan and Yeonwoo actually run away together, and build a strangely satisfying life together until their past comes barreling in reminding them that you can't ever really escape who you used to be.)

the great yawning beast by AceOnMain (Sangrylah)

Yoohan is not taking constructive criticism on his relationship, thank you very much.

movement of eyes by minkit

Yoohan had always wanted to be someone special, being a Probe for a Mono however had never crossed his mind.

Gao Shi De has been in America far too long. Zhou Shu Yi decides this is unacceptable, and goes to get him.

Cal Leandros

Flickerflash by SouthernMoonshine

A collection of short drabbles from all over the series, fast and quick like the silvery flickerflash of light from Niko's katana

In Your Head by BottleRedRosie

Niko needs to sort out his head. Falling off a building can do that to a guy. Oneshot. Niko-centric. Niko and Cal POV. Warnings for language and non-graphic adult situations.

The Witcher

A Song of Selfish Hearts by gremble

Geralt loses a chunk of his memories, meets an overly-friendly bard, and comes to the obvious conclusion: that somewhere along the way, he apparently lost his godsdamned mind and decided to take a human lover on the Path with him.

you met me at the perfect time by suzukiblu

“You could’ve died,” Geralt says in a strange tone, and Jaskier takes one look at him and realizes—oh, he’s going to have to do something about that, isn’t he.

when life gives you lemons by ShanaStoryteller

The only good thing about Oxenfurt is the brothels.

Geralt thinks Jaskier is a whore, but really he's just an opportunist.

best friends means you get what you deserve by suzukiblu 

Jaskier wakes up in Posada. He’s been a lot of other places, but Posada is the one where he wakes up.

The one where someone needs him enough to make him exist, rather.

of music and motion and love by WriteThroughTheNight

When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)

OR

Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

Until We Meet Again

Have You Ever Been Alone (in a crowded room) by Madd4the24

It starts with the sliding glass door to Pharm's condo being open--cracked open only a few inches, letting wisps of cold air travel into the comfy room. It starts with Dean beginning to notice small things, innocent things, things that in isolated incidences, mean nothing. It starts with a feeling of unease, and the distinct notion that something is wrong.

It becomes, however, a mystery that gnaws at Dean until he can't sleep, can't eat, can't focus. Who is opening doors and windows? Who is moving Dean's shoes around, Pharm's books, their personal items? Who is Dean writing to at night?

And more important, when Dean wakes in the morning, who is writing back to him on the pad of paper placed on the bedside table?

forever? forever. by Jamilton_and_Lams

As short as it was; it was their forever.

aka slices of life from Intouch and Korn.

i read a book (on Asexuality) a couple of days ago that helped me understand how Allo people operate (ik that's a contradictory statement but It's the fckn truth)

apparently, Allo people can't control their sexual attractions... they just go about carnally desiring other people even if they just met those people or hate them or find them ugly or even when they're in a monogamous relationship

and that's so mind-blowing bcs WHAT???

Allos just... wanna do sex stuff with other people at random???

i always thought there are things u gotta do to get into the mood of sexing (like have positive feelings or set the mood; i see it as unlocking different levels towards having sex ngl lol)

but nah Allos just wanna suck some dicks and finger some vagina bcs that's their default factory setting

that being said, while Allos experience uncontrollable sexual & romantic desires, they can control their actions and their words. they can control how they socialize with AroAces.

so, pls, keep ur allonormativity and amatonormativity in check.

not all of us desire the same things, not all of us need the same things, not all of us prioritize the same things in life. be mindful of others and mind your own business.

(on that note, all those romance and smuts I've read make SO MUCH SENSE now. i don't gotta try to understand no more... it's just how some ppl are lol)

“We are not the sum of our mistakes,” Dream says. After a brief hesitation, he takes the Corinthian’s hand. “Come.”

This is from “In Occursum Dei”’s latest chapter, which is giving me all sorts of lovely nightmares. I don’t know enough authors in the fandom to fill all the words, but I tag:

[noona96n]

im a chronic read-ahead-er so i went and read some random chapters down the road and saw some SUS things and some angsty things 🥹 i cannOT wait to have all the context to things

i have some Cambodian books tho i hesitate to read/continue reading bcs they're all Khmer Rouge centric and that's a can of worm I don't like to open 😭 im gonna finish em one day tho... one day

but uh book rec would be the Radiant Emperor duology. not exactly SEA-centric but it's by a Malaysian author. I can't shut up about it. so much gender and sexual commentary amidst the scrumptious fight for the imperial throne of china!!!

also, i read the synopsis of Beauty is a Wound and 👀 it sounds fckd up which is right up my alley lol do tell me what u think!!!

Hope you enjoy the Gift Of Rain as much as I did!

Fics i read & enjoyed in december:

(Last update: 24/12)

the two of us, together by kagako (mork x pi, futs | M)

This, too, is incredibly easy. It falls straight into the disgustingly mushy category of it all, and although Mork wants more than anything to get some sort of reaction out of his boyfriend, just the simple act of touching him like this is also enough.

can't you see? by kagako (mork x pi, futs | G)

In this moment, just like this, with Pi asleep in his bed and drooling on his pillowcase, what other line of thought does Mork need besides ‘I like you, I like you, I like you’?

and then you came along (again, and again) by kagako (mork x pi, futs | T)

5+1: love, care, and adapting

let love die with me by kagako (that x sorn, mod | T)

That’s sure he’s dreaming. + the reality of you and i by kagako (part 2)

Who Holds the Devil by Amethystina (yohan x gaon, tdj | M)

post!canon

The Fine Line Between Hormones and Home by seekingmoonscapes (pat x pran, bbs | E)

AU set between episode 2 and 3: Pran comes home from university to visit his parents one weekend only to discover Pat is also at home but for a very different reason... (a/b/o au)

a room full of my safest sounds by kurtstiel (win x team, between us | E)

win reaches a breaking point while taking care of everyone around him. Team steps in to help.

so scarlet, it was by tapiocasoob (seokmin x jeonghan, svt | M)

But Jeonghan watches Seokmin right now and he definitely can’t pretend anymore, that he’s not still in love with him.

all my skeletons out for the taking by kurtstiel (sean x white, not me | T)

Sean goes to find White after Black makes a return into both of their lives.

falling thru the cracks by liknow (seungmin x changbin, skz | E)

Changbin and Seungmin accidentally make a habit of making out at parties, then start going to parties just so they have an excuse to make out, then realize that isn't normal

if we can be more than just friends by athousandbyeol (palm x nuengdiao, nlmg | T)

nueng doesn't know where palm stands in his life. the line between friend and bodyguard blurs when he feels more than just nothing to him.

all of the while by maxmayfield (max x lucas, st | T)

Or, Lucas can’t figure out why he keeps going to the coffee shop with the mean red-haired waitress.

You're My Blue by redpangur (taehyung x jungkook, bts | E)

Grad school AU. Taehyung is a cagey history masters student, and Jungkook is a dance MFA with a big ole crush.

Are You Like Me? by SandmanSam (sky x jao, scoy | M)

Jao gets an unexpected chance to see Sky's family home and ends up learning more than he originally expected.

The Rules of a Secret Crush by onstoryladders (daisy x touch, scoy | G)

“He's just being friendly. He probably doesn't even think I might have a crush on him”.

+ part 2

figure eight by noona96n (shi de x shu yi, wbl | T)

Shu Yi's love for Shi De expressed through the five love languages

What the heart wants (and is going to get) by iffervescent (shi de x shu yi, wbl | E)

Gao Shi De has been in America far too long. Zhou Shu Yi decides this is unacceptable, and goes to get him.

Showering together saves water by Kdramafanficfinatic (mark x vee, love mechanics | E)

Mark has tried really hard to resist Vee, but when Vee offers to scrub Marks back how can he say no?

When You're With Me by SourwolfMads (mark x vee, love mechanics | E)

“Mark…” Vee’s voice was soft, breath warm against Mark’s lips. He shivered in response, goosebumps rising on his arms, the little hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. Vee could say Mark’s name in any which way and Mark would fold every time.
