HALLOWTIDE RECOMMENDED FANFICS 2025

Labyrinth, Solo-Levelling, John Wick, The Witcher, Skyrim, Overlord, Hunger Games, Sherlock, Bleach, Hitman Reborn, Final Fantasy, Hobbit, Teen Wolf, Magnus Archives, Stranger Things, Walking Dead, The Untamed, Jurassic World, Code Geass, Assassins Creed, Hannibal, Scum Villain, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, DCU, MCU, Naruto, Harry Potter

LABYRINTH

• Her Kingdom As Great by MarbleGlove

What's said is said, and Sarah said, "My Will is as Strong as Yours and my Kingdom as Great." And then, of course, she lied.

SOLO-LEVELLING

• Dragon Ascending by Aeraneth

Park Ryung was a simple man with a simple goal, once he realized he was in the world of Solo Leveling. Make Sung Jinwoo's first few miserable years of being a Hunter- a little easier. Surely he was capable of giving some support to the protagonist if he really put his mind to it.

He had no idea how that backfired so hard.

JOHN WICK

• Made Men by manic_intent

“With you it’s always ‘Father this’, ‘Father that’.” Gianna sniffed. “It’s an obnoxious habit. Very childish. Act your age.”

“Oh? And trying to interrupt a stranger about his business isn��t obnoxious?”

“You’re such an asshole,” Gianna said, incredulous. “I can’t believe you said that. We’re trying to save a life.”

“If you were remotely interested in charity of that nature you wouldn’t be in the family business.”

The stranger was staring at them now, blinking owlishly. It wasn’t an unfamiliar reaction to anyone exposed to his sister and their quarrels. “Do you guys mind?” he said finally. His voice was rusty, seldom used.

THE WITCHER

• Born in a time of darkness, you will learn the trick of making. (You shall make your consolation all your life) by llamallamaduck

(WitcherXAssassins Creed Crossover)

Every now and again—typically late at night, when his mind was trying and failing to internalise the hurricane of weird shit that happened to be his life—Desmond wondered about how all this will end. Abstrego can throw around technical-sounding jargon until the cows go home, but even they probably knew that rendering genetic memories in three dimensions just meant fucking around with soul magic. Or Every guy can be a babygirl but it takes a man to be a single mother.

SKYRIM

• Shakespeare in the Park by Vodkassassin

He wakes up in a horse-drawn cart to see a scruffy man, with shaggy blond hair, bound and sitting in front of him. He knows exactly how this story goes.

The question is, how can a theater kid from modern America convince an entire fantasy world that he belongs there?

OVERLORD

• Momo-ji by Kat_o_nine_Tails

Suzuki Satoru had always liked children, but as a bachelor he had given up on having any of his own early on. But now that he has found himself in this New World and became his avatar, Momonga, he has inadverently become a father and he is determined to do his duty to the best of his abilities.

The fact that his children were mostly adults, some wanted to get into his pants, and all of them were actually NPCs created by his friends was completely irrelevant.

HUNGER GAMES

• Impetus by Crunchysunrises

(BuffyXHunger Games Crossover)

For one ethereal moment, Haymitch thought that his tribute might finally kill someone, maybe everyone. Then he remembered who he was dealing with. (Buffy had already decided: she was going to burn this place to the ground.)

SHERLOCK

• Whispers in Corners by esama

(Harry PotterXSherlock Crossover)

Everything started with a stumble - his new life in a new world as well as his surprisingly successful career as a medium.

BLEACH

• The world turns (to the rhythm of a god-king's rage) by CheshireSense (cywscross)

Betrayal is a choice that should only be made when you are prepared to accept whatever retribution follows.

HITMAN REBORN

• Russian Roulette: Reloaded by Vixen_Tail

No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be?

FINAL FANTASY

• Red Sands by Vixen_Tail

Reeve Tuesti was quite literally the only decent man in FFVII's Shin-Ra Electric Company. Let's add another.

• And They Say You Can't Change The Past by NervousOtaku

Well, Rufus thought to himself, second chances weren't to be squandered.

HOBBIT

• Blessings and Rituals by esama

In which Dwarves have a religion - and Hobbits don’t.

• Into The Fire by blackdragonqueen

He was given one year to try again and make things right.

TEEN WOLF

• In the roots of our town, hearts beat by graveltotempo

After the Hale fire, Beacon Hills yearns for blood. Few know what the Hales are (werewolves, the eyes and the fangs whispers).

Most know what the Hales really are (protectors, the broken bones and unhealed injuries remember).

So when the house catches fire, and two shellshocked children cry while covered in ash, and a man burns and burns and burns (and screams and screams and screams), the people know.

Even when the words ‘electrical fire’ come out, even when two broken hearted children run, even when there is no proof: Beacon Hills knows, and the Nemeton knows, and her people know.

And they wait, in bated silence.

And they whisper, as they wait.

And they write, as they wait.

And they wait, they wait, they wait.

• Prowl by wynnebat

Laura's body is never found, but instead of continuing with his murder spree, Peter gets distracted by the scent of his mate. Stiles gets very distracted by the huge wolf that starts showing up at his house all the time.

• Touch Therapy by syriala

“You’re hugging Peter,” Derek said from behind them, confusion very obvious in his voice.

“Yep,” Stiles gave back, not moving from his current position, speaking more into Peter’s hair than anything.

“Why are you hugging him?” Derek asked, and Stiles shrugged as best as he could, with his arms still around Peter.

“He just woke up from a coma. I don’t even want to think about how long he went without a hug,” Stiles gave back.

Or the one where Stiles derails Peter’s plans by aggressively hugging the shit out of him.

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

• Chrysalis by thesnadger

What if Jon stopped resisting? What if he fully gave in to the dreadful power that has a hold on him? How much would Martin be willing to turn his back on in order to keep the one he loves?

• Perks of Beholding by Serazimei

Jon gets distracted from paranoia by learning he can now understand animals. This somehow solves all their problems.

Or: Jon turns into a Disney princess the fic.

• See the Line where the Sky meets the Sea by The_Floating_World

When Jon is a child he looks into the infinite abyss of space. The Vast looks back into him.

STRANGER THINGS

• Without a flashlight in the dark by jurassicqueer (gaybirdkid)

The lights go out. Steve keeps his eyes fixed just left of the thing, can just barely make out a shoulder and sort-of head in the light of the moon, and tries to swallow back the sickening feeling of being hunted. He wants to run for his house but he can’t. He can’t, because if he takes his eyes off the thing for even a second, he won’t know where it is, and that’s scarier than seeing it.

But then- then Steve’s vision blurs for just a moment too long, and when he blinks away the tears and looks, it’s gone.

Steve lunges for the house doors. When the patio lights flicker back on, the poolside is empty, and Steve Harrington is missing. No one notices.

Or: Steve Harrington gets dragged into the Upside Down instead of Barb Holland. Someone else comes out.

THE WALKING DEAD

• We're waiting on a heartbeat (can anybody hear me?) by jurassicqueer (gaybirdkid)

Glenn is all his three month old nephew has left when the zombie apocalypse reaches Atlanta. He's going to make sure he's enough.

OR: Glenn really didn't anticipate finding a life partner while raising an infant, but the end of the world is as good a place to start as any.

• Leaping into Lori by Fleurtygirl

Waking up as Lori Grimes kind of sucked because she rated as my least favorite person. Then again, she became universally hated because of her ongoing unhelpful and hostile actions during a zombie freaking apocalypse. Waking up before the apocalypse would hopefully help save lives.

THE UNTAMED

• Sail Away Sweet Sister by sami

“Are you the same Jiang Yanli I have known since infancy?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever been anyone else?"

"No."

"So you've lived another life... but as yourself. You had a child. And you were dead."

"Yes."

Jiang Yanli starts again from the beginning.

• Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller

He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.

If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?

• Intriguing by nirejseki

Nie Huaisang hates, hates, hatespaperwork. Life would be so much better if only Meng Yao (now officially recognized as Jin Guangyao) were available to do it for him...but unfortunately, his brother never did end up swearing brotherhood with him, which means that Nie Huaisang has no basis to go ask him for help.

If only there were another��position available where Jin Guangyao could just run the Nie sect –

(in which Nie Huaisang decides to matchmake his brother and Jin Guangyao together for his own selfish reasons)

• Burnish Brass to Gold by tuesday

The weak link was, as ever, Lan Xichen.

• Casting off (why not take life as it comes) by

Nemainofthewater

Lan Wangji was a master swordsman and loved his uncle; it was only that that allowed Lan Qiren to summon Xinfei in time to block his brother’s sword.

In which Lan Qiren either has an extraordinarily vivid dream or has managed to travel back in time.

JURASSIC WORLD

• Wild Frontier By RunawayDeviant

The five of them turned to face him - him, specifically, not the rest. His girls and their new best friend.

Owen stood up.

• Tainted by Macx

Owen Grady had always had a talent for animals. Like his grandfather. It was a talent that ran in the families.

Masrani Global recruited him to train raptors. It was an intriguing, novel idea, something only a crazy or insane person would attempt.

Owen wasn't crazy or insane. He knew he could do this.

He just didn't know how deep he would get into it, how strong the connection to the pack would become, how close... they, the four of them, would become to him.

His grandfather had always warned him: don't get too close. Don't let them connect. Well, it was too late for that now.

• The Perils of Witch Slaying (Or How Buffy Ended up in Dinoland) by pprfaith

(Slight BuffyXJurassic World Crossover)

- Three things Buffy knows:

1. witches suck

2. reincarnation sucks

3. prehensile claws are kind of cool

CODE GEASS

• Rise of the Unholy Trinity by LokasennaHiddleston.

The Zero Requiem was successful, but to some, the price was too high. C.C. does not care about world peace, not when she has lost the last person who gave her existence meaning. Suzaku Kururugi takes refuge in the last orders from his emperor, but he aches for what could have been.

They hate each other, but in a world that so eagerly accepts Lelouch's sacrifice without thanking him for it, they cannot help but take refuge in one another. And when C.C. hatches a plan to turn back time and bring Lelouch back, Suzaku eagerly welcomes it. She will be his shield and he will be his sword, and this time, they will get it right.

• Abandon Thyself By Sanjuno

A Geass... is like a wish...

All Demon Emperor wished for was a kinder, gentler world for his loved ones to live in and be happy...

All the Knight of Zero wished for was to die...

(Neither of them got what they wished for, in the end.)

The World of C has decided to grant the dearest wish that resonated in the heart of their Champion.

• The Sun Also Rises by Sanjuno

The night is darkest just before dawn, but dawn will come regardless.

Driven by his love for his sister, Lelouch Lamperouge vi Brittania became the Demon Emperor, feared and hated the world over. Very few people knew that the assassination of the ninety-ninth Emperor was actually an honour suicide, assisted by a dear friend and retainer in a long-held Japanese tradition. Zero Requiem went... perfectly to plan. Lelouch died, and took much of the world's hatred with him.

The Collective Consciousness of Man is not people, and they will not let their Champion remain lost to them.

Lelouch wakes to life after his death by the blessing of the World of C... and the possibilities available to him are endless.

ASSASSINS CREED

• Impermanence by esama

In which Desmond ends up back in time and doesn't so much decide to use it to deal with some hangups he had about Ezio's life as much as sort of... falls into doing it because of bitterness and spite and some very questionable medicine.

• Desmond ex Machina by esama

In the library of Altaïr, Ezio isn't as ready to let go of his destiny as he thought.

In the Grand Temple, Desmond isn't ready to face his.

HANNIBAL

• Inevitable by sifshadowheart

(Criminal MindsXHannibal Crossover)

Will didn’t know how this was happening.

He didn’t know why.

But it was.

Even if he couldn’t trust his eyes, not always anyway, he trusted what he felt, tactile sensation, and everything he felt said that this was happening. His body didn’t have the aches and pains and scars he knew. There was no knot of scar tissue causing issues with his shoulder from being stabbed. No smile across his stomach from a linoleum knife or bullet wound in his non-stabbed shoulder.

He was his relatively untouched teenager self, brain too much for most to handle and awkward social abilities that had landed him a full-ride to Tulane off of his high IQ and ability to pass a test – so long as it wasn’t a psych exam, though now that he knew what he knew he’d be willing to bet that was changed.

In fact…as plans and plots started to come together, he was counting on it.

It would be a long game.

Almost twenty years.

A different Will would be sorry for all those who would die between then and now, let alone those that would come after, but as he sat down and began the first of many lists that would shape his future for the next decade or more, he didn’t feel any guilt at all.

• Oddbodies by toffeecape

Will is an off-brand sentinel. Hannibal is a reputable guide. What could go wrong?

• Wage Your War by Della19

To say that Will Graham is still an unmated, childless omega at the age of thirty-eight is his own choice is true. It is not to say that it is his preference. Will wants a mate and a family just as much – perhaps even more – than the next omega. He’s simply never met that one person who fit the bill before. And then he walks into Jack Crawford’s office and meets Hannibal Lecter and well that, as they say in the business, is that.

Now all he needs to do is convince Hannibal of that. But well, this is Hannibal Lecter he is dealing with. It must be done a certain…flair. But that isn’t a problem for Will. Not at all.

After all, snakes may kill mongoose, but one must never forget this as well: mongoose hunt snakes too.

It’s Will Graham’s turn to wage his war.

Or, here is a fic about omega!Will Graham manipulating alpha!Hannibal Lecter into getting exactly what he wants.

THE SCUM VILLAINS SELF-SAVING SYSTEM

• Shen-shixiong by Ourliazo

Shen Qingqiu is a bastard, but he's Cang Qiong Mountain's bastard. That doesn't actually justify anything but god it feels good to point Shen Qingqiu at someone and watch him tear through.

• The Grand Unified Theory of Shěn Qīngqiū by 00janeblonde

Shěn Qīngqiū new game pluses himself into a happy ending and unlocks some premium content along the way.

• Forever and ever and ever and ever by pennydaniels

Shen Jiu saves Liu Qingge's life. Liu Qingge isn't the type of person to let debts go unpaid.

• What Is Seen by CaveteDracones

Truth-compelling artifacts in the hands of an enemy to one side, SYSTEM-mandated silence on the other, and Shen Qingqiu caught between the two. Is it too late to go back to the Water Prison?

• Fly With Broken Wings by VermilionRain

Shen Yuan has been getting nightmares since he was young. They were about a fantasy world that centered around Shen Qingqiu, a subjectively evil man. It wasn’t until he read a certain cash grabbing book that everything clicked into place. Shen Yuan was receiving memories of Shen Jiu (They were horrible and now he empathizes with the immortal) Now, after finally receiving his degree he gets transported into said book. He might as well fix this plot hole ridden shit until he gets to go back.

• Nobody Deserves a Second Chance (But Honey I Keep Getting Them) by Bluethursday

Luo Binghe finds himself unsatisfied with his life after his wives attempt a coup and devises a plan to acquire a Shen Yuan of his very own.

"He couldn't help but think that his life and efforts amounted to nothing but a joke played out for the amusement of the Heavens. His efforts were nothing in the eyes of those he had done his best to protect. His entire life—from crawling his way out of the gutters of the small town he grew up in by the Luo River, from being saved only by the kindness of a woman whose life was dependent on the scraps given to her by her wealthy employers, his mother’s hands ever-calloused from scrubbing filth and sweat from the clothing of those too ignorant to realize how much work it took to keep their lives comfortable—his entire life was spent working his way into a position where no one could leave him stranded, begging on the street for a bowl of congee, and for what?"

• Tongfang by The Feels Whale (miscellea)

Shen Yuan is reincarnated as a cannon fodder character and eventual murder victim in one of the whodunnit arcs in Proud Immortal Demon Way. Things escalate quickly.

Or: that one where young Luo Binghe’s career goal is ‘Bride’.

• Belonging (Object), Belonging (Condition) by ParueCake (MiraEyeteeth)

• The Balance of Ice and Fire by Sanjuno

(Star WarsXGame Of Thrones Crossover)

What would change about the Song if three former Jedi and a former Galactic Senator were reincarnated into the world of Westros?

• Down a Rabbit Hole to Westeros by Lamia_Kuei

A SI into Selyse Florent, later Selyse Baratheon. Refusing this time around to be vexed by a mustache, lack of indoor plumbing, and no more guacamole in favor of keeping her eyes on the prize: Surviving the upcoming Long Night and not letting Melisandre go Full Melisandre.

• Poetry is what he thought, but did not say by llamallamaduck

(Game Of ThronesXBlack Panther Crossover)

Erik knows very well who he is and what he is for. If Bast thought placing him here would humble or punish him, They do not know him as well as They think. Erik may wear the body of a slaver, but his mind and his choices are his, as they always have been.

He lived by the sword and died by it; he sees no reason to change the bedrock of his personal ethics the second time around.

• The lone traveller, standing strong by bubblewrapstargirl

Sansa wakes to find herself a girl again, and quickly realises she must find a way to marry a decent man before Robert Baratheon comes North, prevent Jon from taking the Black, tie Theon to House Stark before Balon rebels, and save all her siblings from the wrath of the Lannisters. Sansa refuses to be a bystander to tragedy any longer, but can she ever hope to win the game of thrones?

• Now go and fail again by Nothingmare

She will be damned if she lets the Greens have a grasp for her Throne. Not again.

• The Lioness and the Sun by BonnieBee101

Rhaegar and Lyanna are the scum of the earth and Elia deserved so much better!

Remembered:

Elia HAD to marry him it was arranged.

Rhaegar didn't HAVE to break her heart and run off with a little northern girl.

• Lex Talionis by lostchildofthenewworld

Two women died, one on a cold marble floor and another strewn across a bed with her son's blood covering her. Lady Fortuna has sown those two souls together with a red string, from two separate entities they became one.

• Queens by phantomphaeton

It wasn’t a hero in the end. Not a grand savior, nor magic, nor prophecy, nor destiny, nor a promised prince. In the end, it all boiled down to three young women who had decided that they—by that point—were fed up with disappointment.

STAR WARS

• The Way of Conquest By Pagination

All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed.

Three out of three is good, right? Right?

• Sith Lord Swell by AMournfulHowlInTheNight

“Well, looks like we're all Sith Lords, now. I hope you've all been practicing your most menacing laughter for our first run in with the Jedi Council."

Ben could only sigh and raise a distasteful eyebrow at the cross shaped, red lightsaber he was given. Down the line other students were also handling their new weapons and robes with a raised eyebrow here and quizzical expression there.

"Really, uncle?"

"Really. I don't want to compete with the local Jedi population."

Why did Jedi politics and time travel have to be so difficult?

• Water in the tiger's mouth by blackkat

After Scipio, Thorn wakes up on Coruscant, in a palace built over the bones of something that used to be familiar. General Kenobi is there, though. General Kenobi will fix it.

General Kenobi, Thorn is sure, is going to fix everything.

• Concessions By Emrys_Fae, mneiai

After Order 66, Obi-Wan just wants to disappear. He flees to Mandalore, hoping that the newly triumphant Mand'alormight grant him sanctuary. But his former lover demands a price. A simple concession.

• New Meetings (Scenes from an Alternate Galaxy) by teacup_of_doom

A collection of AU scenes in which Anakin and Obi-Wan remember their past lives, Obi-Wan is female, and Jango Fett would very much like to act on his burgeoning feelings for the Jedi Master. Anakin is overprotective, Padme is amused by all of this. Somehow, they muddle through.

• Rebirth in the shadows of Dathomir by lunaemoth

Obi-Wan was dead, one with the Force and at peace, when he was ripped from it and shoved into a tiny body once again.

On Dathomir. Among the Nightsisters. Fifty years in the past.

• Walk by faith/tell no one what you've seen by Killbothtwins

After the end of the war with the Empire, Obi-Wan wakes up in his twelve-year old body. Now all he needs to do is convince everyone he's psychic, trick his Master into taking him on before he's sent to Bandomeer, redeem a few bad guys, and try not to have a nervous breakdown. Pretty easy. It's not like the Sith are lurking on the horizon, waiting to devour the Jedi Order.

• The Solider, the Queen, and the Hunter: Truth and Fiction by kj_feybarn

The galaxy is a step away from war when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala find a clone army.

That's where it starts, with convenient wording in a contract, a broken sith spell, and a desperate attempt to turn their tragedies into a story that could catch the hearts of a galaxy.

“Now sit still,” he told them all as he leaned forward. “And I’ll tell you the story of the Soldier, the Queen, and the Hunter.”

• New Order by esama

The galaxy changes and Obi-Wan must change with it to protect what little he has left.

DC UNIVERSE

• Nothing But The Dead And Dying (back in my little town) by Umei_no_Mai

(DCXDanny Phantom Crossover)

Dan has just been rescued and is feeling a bit shorter than usual. Jason Todd has just been petitioned like he's a feudal warlord, which has never happened before but he could maybe get used to.

They can probably make this work so long as Batman doesn't stick his nose in. Yeah, like that'll happen.

• Baby Birds and Bat Caves by IzzyMRDB

Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.

Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.

Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

• Sleep with a gun (and keep an eye on you, son) by destiny919

The kid in civvies knocking on the door to his apartment shrieks Jason's name and launches himself at Jason, who catches him on reflex. He realizes it's the Replacement at the same time he notices the kid is so tiny he could barely pass for twelve, let alone fourteen. "Jason," his Replacement mumbles again into his chest, and Jason finally regains the presence of mind to move them backwards into the apartment.

If he's murdering the kid now, better to do it with privacy.

• Reasons are better than rules by destiny919

"No one will actually explain Father's rules to me," Damian blurts out. "They tell me we don't kill, and killing is wrong, and Father would never do it, but no one ever actually says why! As if repeating the rule is the same as explaining it! As if I am supposed to just know, when I do not!"

Drake is quiet, eyes on something in the distance that Damian cannot see. "Damian, may I tell you a secret?"

• Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514

So, it didn’t start out like this.

Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

“The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

• Trained by the best by destiny919

Damian has his orders: present himself to his father so that the Batman will finish his training and Damian can take his proper place at his father's right hand.

However, Damian has also had caution and the need to maintain an upper hand in every situation ingrained into him for even longer than he has known how to hold a sword. Accordingly, he takes his time once arrived in Gotham. He learns his father's patrol routes and not much else, but in the process begins studying the other vigilantes in Gotham—the other children in his father's life. Perhaps they will give him a better idea of how to please his father, and if they have been trained by Batman themselves, there may even be something of value they can teach Damian.

• Kingmaker by destiny919

When there's a knock on the door of Jason's safehouse, he figures Black Mask managed to track him down and thinks he's clever. Instead of opening the door to a loaded automatic weapon, Jason finds a teenage boy he's never actually met but can still recognize despite one crucial detail:

He's covered in blood.

• Baby on board by destiny919

He studied the Tower schematics very carefully, including the vent networks. Accordingly, Jason is already waiting in the upstairs lounge when Replacement emerges from the ceiling. "Thanks for dropping by, Rep-" Jason stops dead, staring at the Robin turning to face him.

That is. That is a whole child.

• Wants and Needs (Well, Mostly Wants) by Rhiw

Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?

• Trade my Tomorrows (For One Yesterday) by Zell_Hatoule

Things I don't see in DC yet - Dick Grayson time travelling, deciding to join Talon just so he can fuck them up from the inside and then forcibly joins Bruce at 12. Bruce has no idea what to do with a murderous assassin kid who has more of his shit put together than he does. Also, not Dick vicariously adopting all of the Robins and Bruce faced with three smaller children sitting at his table every night looking at him accusingly.

• Time (to Protect You) by Blueseabird2

Losing Damian not only hurt beyond measure but also made Dick the last Bat standing. He had nothing keeping him in a broken world so goes back in time with only one ally (Damian begs to differ) and no plan except to protect everyone he can, at any cost.

Dick starts with making sure Jason never dies at the hands of the Joker and proceeds to track down and love his siblings (while maybe also plotting the destruction of the League of Assassins). He just doesn't realize that a clan of highly trained vigilantes are more than capable of realizing that Dick is not okay, and of returning his devotion with their own.

• Jim Gordon's pal, the Shadow demon by I_go_by_Faith

The shadows of Gotham had come alive. The creature was massive, taller than a man, writhed in shadows, that seemed to move with an unnatural breath. It was made of shades of black, the darkest forming its head, hands and feet, and pooling around it, resembling a cape or wings, like those of a bat. Tall horns extended from it’s head, reminiscent of the ears of a bat, long claws tipped it’s hands. The only part that looked human at first glance was the lower half of it’s face, which was the grey of a corpse, traceries of black veins visible beneath the skin. It’s eyes glowed white, almost seeming to suck him into them. (...) Gordan swallowed, trying to clear his throat, not to scream, a scream would be useless in Gotham, but to ask a question. The creature reached out cautiously toward him with the back of a hand, the way a human would approach an unfamiliar cat “Are you the one who has been leaving criminals tied up outside the station?”

• Doubting Gets You Places DustToDust

Tim's never regretted his decision to go to Barbara Gordon when Batman began to fall apart after Robin's death. He does reserve the right to complain when strange men in masks begin to use him as an intermediary for Oracle though.

MARVEL UNIVERSE

• As bridges burn by apathyinreverie

(MarvelXWitcher Crossover)

Tony promptly waves off Steve's demand. “Ah, don’t worry. I already have all the data you could possibly want on these feather-lizards.”

There is a sigh of exasperation from Geralt where he is currently wiping down his swords. “Cockatrices,” he rumbles, though in a tone that says he isn’t expecting Tony to actually listen.

“Mhm,” Tony hums in cheerful agreement, grin genuine in a way that Steve rather misses seeing when it’s just the team anymore. “Isn’t that what I just said.”

(Set some time after CW, in a 'verse where Tony met Geraltand his trio of troublemakers while trying to fix everyone's messes. Suffice to say, Yen and Geralt are less than impressed with the team.)

• The Better Man by apathyinreverie

Tony doesn’t lash out in Siberia.

And Steve had been relieved, assuming that them not coming to blows would make everything so much simpler in the aftermath, would make reconciling easier, would help them regain the trust now lost.

It doesn’t. Quite to the contrary.

• Who is this Guy? By ArcticVulpix

Few people get a second chance. Few people get the opportunity to make the right decision after a mistake.

If you got a do-over, what would you do? What would you change?

There aren't many who get the chance to actually make those decisions.

But Steve Rogers did.

And he saved the world.

Just not in the way he thought he would.

• Unleash Your Demons by Keira Marcos

Tony Stark can’t live with the damage Thanos has done. Infinity Stones in hand, he makes a choice that will alter the fate of the universe.

• A Father's Son by dnky

JARVIS wakes up during infinity war.

• #standbylegion by esama

(AvengersXKingsman Crossover)

V-day takes out the Avengers. JARVIS copes, one tweet at a time.

• Simon Says by Hyliian

Reality… glitched.

I wasn’t spontaneously teleported to another place. Monsters didn’t start pouring out of holes in the fabric of time. No otherworldly voice spoke words of wisdom or warning in my ear. Had I… had I hallucinated that whole debacle? Did I just imagine the world shifting three degrees sideways and tilting diagonally backwards? No one else was reacting to what had happened, so I had to conclude with a sort of grim resignation that I was obviously losing my mind.

Resolved to pretend nothing had happened, I took a step towards the door.

Abruptly, I was somewhere else entirely.

• The Devouring of Hearts by RayShippouUchiha

(AvengersXAddams Family Crossover)

Toni’s gums ache for a split second, fresh blood flooding her mouth before she swallows it.

And in that next second that curl of darkness inside of her sits up and decides that this, that Howard’s continued cruelty and abuse, will no longer be allowed.

Toni licks the blood from her now too sharp teeth before she plants her hands on the floor in front of her and pushes herself back up onto her feet.

This time when Howard lashes out at her Toni ducks low to avoid the blow.

Crouched on the hall floor, sharp nails digging into the dark wood beneath her, Toni hisses, takes a moment to calculate, and then she leaps.

• The Guiding of Death by RayShippouUchiha

“Hades and Persephone reborn huh,” Fury states then more than asks, “no need to ask which is which.”

Toni’s brows furrow even as dread begins to squirm to life inside of her.

But before she can say anything, before she can open her mouth and set the record straight, she hears it.

A murmur as loud as a scream from somewhere in the tomb silent bridge.

“That whole Merchant of Death thing,” someone off to the side faux whispers, “makes a lot more sense now.”

It echoes across the bridge like a gunshot.

• Rule 48 by Hyliian

“I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.”

Rule 48. It was a lesson these asshats swarming around the Asset’s cryochamber really should have learned by now.

• Death to the memory of an ideal by graveltotempo

What if there was someone in the car Steve Rogers stole during the chase scene?

• unforgiven (I'm a villain) by graveltotempo

anchor (noun): a person or thing that provides stability or confidence in an otherwise uncertain situation.

Tony loses his anchor.

The Avengers die.

• Iron Infinity by DuncanIdaho2014

Dr. Strange saw NO future where Thanos didn't win and wipe out the universe. Still, they valiantly try. Broken and defeated, Stephen enacts a desperate gamble, using the Time Stone to send Tony ten years into the past, right back to when he met Yinsen. Armed with foresight and terrible resolve, Tony WILL protect the planet. OR, how Tony accidentally became a God.

• Disasster by esama

In which Tony welcomes his (begrudging) AI overlord and Bucky somehow gets caught in the middle.

NARUTO

• Compass of thy Soul By Umei no Mai

Being reborn into the Uchiha clan during the Warring Clans Era is surprisingly idyllic, so long as you don't mind hard work and are too young to know any of the people who are actually dying. But innocence never lasts, and trying to help family stay alive is a road strewn with a surprising number of pitfalls and last-minute diversions.

• discendo docemus by llamallamaduck

There are some things a seven-year-old psyche is not ready to endure. An S-ranked torture technique preformed by a traumatized thirteen-year-old is one of those things. Sasukedoesn’t enjoy hallucinating memories of his murdered family day in and day out, but he’s learned to be philosophical about such things. It’s everything else that’s the problem, really.

• To dwell inside (a hearthfire heart) by Ellory

Senju Tobirama is not a samurai. He is not bound in oaths of honor. Yet, he finds himself revealing a long-kept secret to settle a debt with Uchiha Madara. A brother’s life for a brother’s life. That is the only reason he saves Uchiha Izuna from the Hagoromo.

• Targes of jubilant flame (have hung my heart) by Ellory

Allowing a child to die via non-interference is not, technically, child-hunting. However, Tobirama knows Madara well enough to be certain he will not care one whit for technicalities should his young kinsman perish while the Senju could easily turn the battle in Hikaku’s favor.

• If the seas catch fire (trust your heart) by Ellory

The Uchiha trespasser on Senju lands is not an adult with an inability to completely disguise their chakra levels. It is a child, younger even than Itama was.

• Rotted Rowan By Darkpetal16

Not everyone can be a hero. Sometimes you have to play the villain in order to save everyone.

• Dirt and Ashes, or: The One-and-a-Half Body Problem by Tozette

The invasion of Konoha during the chuunin exam didn't fail. Team seven is broken, people are dead, and Sakura is hurt and frightened and a very long way from home.

Alternative summary: In which Sakura carries half of Hidanacross two countries, leaving a trail of blood, bodies, and other people's legs.

• Doing the Work by MarbleGlove

There’s more to peace than the absence of war. The work is as hard and uncertain as any Shinobi mission.

AKA: A highly self-indulgent fic in which a civilian woman helps an orphaned Sasuke and winds up saving the world.

• Uchiha Kyōya By Tsume Yuki

(Hitman RebornXNaruto Crossover)

In a world where Fugaku has three sons, he wishes he'd stopped at the first one. There's nothing wrong with the youngest, it's just... The middle child.

• Complete disarray by Shializaro

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

In which Madara is a little too late, Tobirama is a little too early and, as usual, nothing ever goes as planned for Shikako and Sasuke, accidental time travelers and trouble magnets extraordinaire.

• General Nara by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXStar Wars Crossover)

It should really be harder to take over a clone regiment. Shikako basically showed up, flashed her lightsaber - which wasn't even a real lightsaber - and clones were falling all over themselves to follow her orders.

• An Unexpected Training Trip by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXHero Academia Crossover)

Trapped in another universe, Sasuke and Shikako decide to go to hero school until they find a way back. The idea was that as hero students they wouldn't draw unnecessary attention while training. This works about as well as you would expect from a couple of people whose idea of subtle is to fake a natural disaster.

-or-

How Shikako single handedly eliminated the social stigma about therapy in UA High School.

• Children Of The Leaf by DawningStar

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

What if Shikako Nara, by a strange quirk of timeline, ended up in Tenzou's experimental batch...and survived?

• Si Iterum Eodem Modo Vicero... by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXMarvel Crossover)

-It says something about Shikako's life that leading an invasion of another planet isn't even the worst thing she's done on accident. It's probably in the top three, though. Probably.

• The White Sun's Passing Brightness Fades by VagabondDawn

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXScum Villain Crossover)

-Five-ish times Shikako Nara meets the Peak Lords of CangQiong Mountain Sect and one time Liu Qingge meets some ninja.

• Another Life, Another Lecter by muaaimoi

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXHannibal Crossover)

In which Nara Shikako is reborn as Hannibal Lecter's twin. It changes everything and nothing at all.

HARRY POTTER

• Unfogging the Future by Naidhe

Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

• Time to Put Your Galleons Where Your Mouth Is By TsumeYuki

Harry had never been able to comprehend a sibling relationship before, but he always thought he'd be great at it. Until, as Master of Death, he's reborn one Turais Rigel Black, older brother to Sirius and Regulus.

• To play the Prince of Castaways by llamallamaduck

Six-year-olds don't understand what having children entails. Six-year-old boys even less so. Six-year-old boys kept in cupboards, who barely get to speak a few words each day, are almost guaranteed to have a very fanciful grasp on the miracle of life.

Harry James Potter didn't know what having a baby meant, who could have them and why they might wish to do so. Harry James Potter just wanted one. Desperately.

• Shadow Magic by Lomonaaeren

Harry was born with a power the Dark Lord knows not: the magic to see into shadows, to walk the shadows, and to send the shadows everywhere. This changes his life rather dramatically.

• Uvidimsya Zavtra by TreacleTeacups

In which Harry realises he owes the wizarding world nothing and runs before he can compete in the Triwizard Tournament. It may cost him his magical core, but the price of freedom is worth it.

• Collision by Hyliian

A bemused SI-OC watches as an entirely unrelated SI-Harry Potter attempts to take the wizarding world by storm, and fails miserably.

• Sweet Dreams by TreacleTeacups

In which Harry's dreams are sweeter than life.

• The Flaw in the Plan By Little.Miss.Xanda

In the end, Harry could do nothing but surrender.

• The Games They Play By Little.Miss.Xanda

He had always known he was different. Then, his brother was born, and he knew his brother was just like him. They were as far from normal as one could possibly get. They embraced it, caring nothing for what others thought. They had each other and their dad, after all, what more could they need? Well, maybe a way to quench their boredom.

• House of Luxventi by Darkpetal16

In which Tom M. Riddle Jr grew up in a loving home, with a good mother, and never knew the horrors of being an abandoned orphan.

• Harveste Addams by Kyaru (Thumbie)

(HPxAddams Family Crossover)

A little death can change so much. Delightful, isn't it?

• Obsidian's Desire by Lomonaaeren

Marcus Flint doesn’t really know what to do with his life after his father dies; his father always told him what to do. So he consults a piece of obsidian, and it directs him to Harry Potter. And, well, Potter has friends, but he doesn’t have a husband…

• Seventh Horcrux by EmeraldAshes

The presence of a foreign soul may have unexpected side effects on a growing child. I am Lord Volde...Harry Potter. I'm Harry Potter. In which Harry is insane, Hermione is a Dark Lady-in-training, Ginny is a minion, and Ron is confused.

• Property of the Half-Blood Prince by Lomonaaeren

Harry indulges in an enormous eye-roll at the universe when he wakes up on his nineteenth birthday with “Property of the Half-Blood Prince” written on his neck like a collar. He goes on to live his life like normal, without being too upset about it—and without telling Snape, who he’s sure wants his freedom now.

• The Dead Master by FalconLux

Dumbledore’s schemes took everything from him, including the man he loved, but now Harry has devised a means with which to travel back in time to his younger body before he started Hogwarts. He’s going to get another chance at his life, and this time Dumbledore won’t be getting in his way.

More rambles as I read the Solo Leveling novel (chapters 4-7)

I like seeing the other hunters' reactions in the novel. They weren't shown as much in the manhwa or the anime, but it seems more realistic with how doubtful the others were of Jinwoo when he said they needed to bow to the god statue to them relying solely on Jinwoo was he was correct

It’s funny how the iconic smile of the god statue in the manhwa doesn’t happen in the novel (yet? The statue either seems only emotionless or angry. It's expression is also described as arrogant though I don't know if that means it's smiling or not)

Jinwoo also carries Juhee rather than just pulling her along while running. I can see why people ship them (I personally see them as platonic, but it’s cute)

I didn’t mention this last time, but I like how the novel has more of an emphasis on Mr. Park needing money to help his pregnant wife and child as well as the other hunters also needing money. It makes it more realistic how they don’t necessarily want to risk their lives to protect other people from dungeon breaks but have to do so to provide for themselves and their families. It might seem selfish, but it’s something a lot of people tend to do to have a better life

Forgot about this earlier, the most surprising thing so far was the system having a female voice? I can understand why this wasn’t implemented into the manhwa, but I wish they could have included this in the anime

I would have made this longer, but I have a lot to say about chapter 8

what pet names they call you - astro

warnings: slight hinted intimacy, nothing graphic/descriptive!

a/n: please enjoy! feel free to request stuff if you have any ideas for me! rest of the members below the cut!

silly nicknames alert!!! he’s gonna call you every nickname he can think of, especially ones based on your name or ones based on inside jokes. he’s very sweet and teasing with it too. he’ll call you cutie, sweetie, short stuff, sunshine - i could go on. and so could he! all day in fact. the only way to stop him? a kiss of course!

jinjin

ok he’s such a charmer and everything about jinjin screams domestic and fluffy. he definitely calls you babe or honey and he does it often!! he is so in love and he wants to make it everyone’s problem!! especially uses these nicknames if he’s comforting you or if you’re pillowtalking at the end of the day <3

eunwoo

he strikes me as the classic nicknames type. babe, baby, and sweetheart are his go-tos. he doesn’t say them constantly for fear of overusing them but he really likes calling you by those sweet names. he sees using terms of endearment as a special thing. he will definitely use them a lot more if he’s missing you while on tour or if he’s busy with work and just needs to talk to you over the phone </3

moonbin

he uses baby like it’s your first name. “baby, come see this” and “hey baby good to see you” and other such phrases grace your ears daily. he’ll call you baby in front of anyone, especially his friends and fellow members. he’s not shy by any means. if you guys are alone? he’s whispering baby in your ear. goodness gracious y’all this man-

rocky

definitely calls you baby or ‘pretty.’ i think he’s a bit of a wild card. he can be really really shy sometimes, but sometimes he gets into a confident mood. either way, he turns bright red as soon as he uses a nickname with you and he gets that cute shy smile on his face. you know the one. he captions all his insta pictures with you with something like ‘my better half’ or something cheesy and sweet like that too :)

sanha

honestly i feel like sanha is a little shy to call you something like babe or sweetheart or romantic terms of endearment like that so he probably calls you by a nickname! he’ll just shorten your name or make it cuter somehow for the most part. i do think he’d pepper in the occasional ‘baby’ when he’s in a sweet mood, but i think he’s just a little shy and inexperienced when it comes to relationships :’)

hope you enjoyed! please feel free to request other imagines!

Ok, I'm here to do a formal request to how would JinJin react to he called a short king. It would be even better if his s/o is foreign but speaks korean fluently.

Also I need to say it again, I'm doing a full marathon of your fics and Im absolutely head over hills, you're so talented and I hope to have more of your writing in the future.

Have a nice day!

hihi! i'm so sorry this is late >.< i hope you enjoy it~ also tysm for your kind words IM CRYING

short king

Jinjin's reaction to being called short king by his s/o ^3^

warnings: s/o is not necessarily foreign because i want to be inclusive, but they can speak english <3, cracc-filled+fluff

look at this photo isn't he just the MOST SQUISHY SQUISH YOU'VE EVER SQUISHED

anyways ahem hi back to this fic

i imagine the first time you call Jinjin short king, you might be a bit nervous?

you and Jinjin tease each other often as s/os

but you never want to cross the line

so ! one time Jinjin is just struggling to reach the top cabinet

that top cabinet is a real STRUGGLE okay

you watch him dust himself off

hop on the counter and grab ths thing he wanted with ease before he jumps back down

you're just like WOAH

short king

you say it in tiny in case he'll get upset

he turns around and has this smile that says

i know ur up to something weird now tell me what it is

but also

what are you saying???

vibes

so you repeat it again and say short king! you're a short king!!

and Jinjin goes 'me? i'm king... but i'm not short'

you tell him that it's not a bad thing to be short

'why cant you just call me king? why do you have to say short king?' he'll whine

and you're just like yo!

it's cause you're short, but you're still a boss

and he's like hey didn't you say it isnt bad to be short!

you're kinda getting a headache at this point and sigh

but then you're like LISTEN MY LOVE

being short has its downfalls but despite that you're still a king!

look at you being a boss and hopping on the counter to reach the top cabinet!

being short isn't bad, but it's also not easy

Jinjin is eyeing you weirdly at this point

cause you make sense

but somehow short king sits weirdly with him

don't you worry though

the more you repeat it, he'll start to love it

he loves it so much that he even uses it to refer to himself

"y/n, i'm your short king, won't you listen to me?"

he'll say stuff like that

HUSBAND ASTRO A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Park Jinwoo

A ⇴ AFFECTION

One of his favourite things to do is wrap you up in his arms, Jinwoo works out for him, but he also works out for you so that he’s got the frame to keep you nice and safe, as well as warm whenever you’re hugging him.

B ⇴ BOYS

The boys had heard enough stories about you from Jinwoo that it was impossible for them not to like you when they met you. It was one of the advantages of Jinwoo being the leader, he could make sure that they were all nice around you when they met you so that you could feel comfortable and welcomed.

C ⇴ COMFORT

Nothing else matters to Jinwoo when he knows that you’re upset, he forgets about anything else going on and focuses only on you. He can’t help but care and worry, even if it’s only a small thing that’s playing on your mind, he’ll still get you to talk to him about it and try and give you some advice about it too.

D ⇴ DOMESTICATED

The chores that rely on strength are definitely Jinwoo’s forte, he loves to be able to show off to you how masculine he can be by using his muscles to keep the condition of the house looking good. He makes sure that when he does strong jobs that you’re around so that you can watch him as he does it, with Jinwoo knowing it’s almost impossible for your eyes not to be watching him, with a smile on your face too.

E ⇴ ENGAGEMENT

Nothing other than perfection was going to be accepted by Jinwoo when it came down to his proposal, he wanted even the smallest of details to be as precise as he wanted as possible to make sure that you’d like it. There were a lot of nerves in the build up too, for a couple of days beforehand you noticed Jinwoo acting a little bit odd, which was soon explained when he got down on one knee and proposed to you.

F ⇴ FAVOURITE THING

Jinwoo’s favourite thing about being with you was how happy he was when he was around you. The two of you were definitely the most settled couple of your friendship group, you had your routine together which you loved, and had a good balance of time together and time apart too. You loved having that crown over your heads, you considered yourselves incredibly comfortable with one another which was great.

G ⇴ GOING OUT

Most of the time the two of you preferred to stay in and just do your own things with each other. As much as you loved the company of other people, when you had to spend most of your day surrounded by people at work, it was nice for the two of you to spend the evenings in your own little worlds again.

H ⇴ HONEYMOON

The biggest thing that the two of you worried about when it came to organising your honeymoon was making sure that you found somewhere to relax. Being able to take a break was the priority for you both, somewhere with the sun and a beach were the only criteria that you had when destination searching.

I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”

Most of the time Jinwoo showed you how much he loved you with little gestures to prove to you how well he knew you. He loved to pick up your favourite things whenever he saw them, knowing that the little details were the key to your heart as time and time again Jinwoo showed you how observant he was.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY

He’s not afraid to step in whenever someone is making him feel jealous, although it doesn’t happen too often. The main reason for this is that it’s very rare for Jinwoo not to be at your side, he doesn’t like being separated, especially far away enough so that he can’t keep an eye on you. Although he’s not the tallest, Jinwoo won’t be afraid to shift his frame and insert his arm around you when he wants to block you off.

K ⇴ KIDS

The boys especially loved to joke with the two of you how they had set you up with plenty of experience for when you decided to settle down. You couldn’t deny it either, Jinwoo seemed to have skipped a stage in life, already being the grandma, hoping to go back and become a dad at some point with you too.

L ⇴ LAZY DAYS

You only really tend to get lazy afternoons with Jinwoo, as he still likes to reserve his mornings for the gym, even if he has got the day off. As much as sometimes you want him to stay in bed a little bit longer with you, most of the time you can’t help but be in awe of his dedication to keeping himself in shape and healthy, especially when he gets home from the gym too and wraps you up in his nicely defined body.

M ⇴ MORNINGS

By far you are the one that wakes up earlier in the mornings, you’re often having to shake Jinwoo awake to make sure that he gets up. It’s very rare for him to wake up before his alarm, but he knows as soon as his alarm goes off, you’ll be on top of him straight away and shaking him awake to get sorted for work.

N ⇴ NIGHTS

When the two of you wind down for the nights, you try and do your routines together. You’ll both be in the bathroom most nights, following each other step by step as you brushed your teeth and did your skincare too.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

Jinwoo was obsessed with your heart, he loved how loving you towards him more than anything else. It didn’t matter how bad of a day he had had, Jinwoo knew that he was never alone when you were around.

P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS

The moments that meant the most to Jinwoo were the ones when you showed up unexpectedly to support him. The little boost that he got whenever he suddenly saw you behind the studio door or stood to the side on set was indescribable, and always helped him to work even harder on the job to impress you.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

Whenever he has a break at work Jinwoo will be on his phone and messaging you, often asking you how your day is going, or asking you if there’s anything that you want to do in the evening that he can organise.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

With his phone in his hand so often, Jinwoo loved to take photos of you. For each year that the two of you spent together he created a new album of images so that the two of you could look back over each one and remember all of the things that you did together, even if all of the photos in it were just of you.

S ⇴ SILENCE

If you needed a bit of quiet, especially when you were working from home, then Jinwoo was more than happy to give it to you. He was incredibly patient when there were silent moments between you both, he never said even a peep until you spoke first, and then he could get everything off of his chest to you.

T ⇴ TIPS & TRICKS

Jinwoo’s biggest trick for making things work with you was learning, even after so many years together he still strived to find out at least one new thing about you a day so that he could do better for you.

U ⇴ UPSET

A hug was always the priority for Jinwoo when he saw that you were upset, once he’d hugged you, then he’d assess the situation.

V ⇴ VISITS

All of the boys loved whenever you visited them whilst they were busy at work, especially because most of the time you showed up with something to eat or drink for them to make sure that they were all healthy.

W ⇴ WISH LIST

If anything, Jinwoo felt like he’d exceeded his wishes, he was convinced that he’d wished for too much with how lucky he got.

X ⇴ XXXX

Kisses from Jinwoo were often very powerful, he never shied away from telling you that he loved you when he kissed you, he never left you wondering if he’d kissed you or not, he’d definitely make sure that you knew he was there.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were his rock, Jinwoo knew that whenever he needed someone you’d be there.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

Keeping you nice and cosy was Jinwoo’s priority at night, if you wanted to cuddle into his side, he’d let you, but he loved it even more when you laid into his chest and allowed him to wrap his arms fully around you.

Hiiii I would like to request a reaction where astro have a really cold and intimidating bad girl girlfriend who only is kind to them and always spoils them

hi, thank you for requesting !! i hope you like it ♡

→ astro reaction to their s/o being intimidating but soft with them

KIM MYUNG JUN (MJ) ｡*♡

he probably finds it funny, to be honest. the contrast in how you are with the rest of the world and when you are with him makes him feel another kind of special.

he makes the effort to make you laugh more and keep you always happy so even if other people finds you to be cold, he knows you are the kindest with the ones you love.

PARK JIN WOO (JINJIN) ｡*♡

very similar to mj, he knows the real you so he just smiles and shakes his head when people say you are this way. finds it very fun to be affectionate with you in public and see you get all flustered while trying to contain your smile.

LEE DONG MIN (EUNWOO) ｡*♡

the one who's so proud to be your only exception and barely can contain his excitement. no joke, he probably loves to wrap his arms around you while walking and kiss you at random times.

loves you the way you are and would never try to change you, 10/10.

MOON BIN (BIN) ｡*♡

was low-key nervous when you met because of the aura you had but once he got to know you, he realized you are one of the most adorable people he ever interacted with. another proud boyfriend, has the time of his life when people looks at the two of you surprised at the change in attitude you have around him.

PARK MIN HYUK (ROCKY) ｡*♡

knows what it feels like to be judged by your attitude so he never did the same to you. he patiently waited until you felt comfortable around him and can say proudly that he was right when he sees you being so kind and sweet with him. keeps his distance in public but is always holding your hand, it makes him the happiest.

YOON SAN HA (SANHA) ｡*♡

maybe it was a bit difficult for him to gather the courage to talk to you at first since you seem so cold and distant but still, he liked you so he did his best and look, you're together ever since. can't believe sometimes how cute you are with him and thinks you have a switch somewhere in your brain which activates only in public. head over heels kind of boyfriend.

astro’s reaction to you calling them late at night

~ type . reaction

~ requested . no

~ pairing . astro x gender-neutral!reader

~ genre . comfort fluff with some slight angst

~ tw . mentions of insomnia

~ song recommendation . all night by astro

~ a/n . ahh it feels so good to be writing on this platform again ~ hopefully i can stay more active on this blog hehe, i hope you enjoy my first reaction !! it’s like 12am when i’m writing this so it might be shit lol. i just miss ot6 astro a lot mm’kay, someone tell eunwoo to come home ;-;

you check the time on your phone and it’s only three am when it feels like you have tried to fall asleep for what felt like hours. you sit up in bed and rub your tired red eyes, fearing for when your alarm would start going off alerting you to start your day when you hadn’t even finished the last. in your sluggish haste you dialled your boyfriend’s number with empty hope that’ll he will pick up...

| p a r k j i n w o o

it took him a while to answer, as expected he was fast asleep. but when he was dragged finally dragged so far outside of his sleep cycle to notice that his phone was ringing, he shot up so fast and answered immediately. when jinwoo heard your voice on the other end he became even more concerned than he already was. why were you awake at this time? was something troubling you? were you in danger? this worried leader bear would not stop worried leadering, he can’t help it, it’s in his nature to be concerned about you. however when you said you just found it a bit hard to sleep and wanted to hear his voice, he softened (a just a bit though he’s still nag you a bit but it was all out of love). jinwoo would then spend the rest of the call’s duration talking softly about his day and things he’s been interested in lately. and maybe MAYBE sing a short lullaby for you really really quietly (so quiet you’d think he’s whispering). in between all his sweet actions he never fails to tell you he loves you and that he’s so extremely proud of you no matter what you do. he wouldn’t end the call until you’ve been silent for 20 minutes and hears your heavy breathing from the other side of the line.

“you want me to sing for you? really bubs, is there anything else- okay, okay, but only because i love you so much my beautiful amazing y/n. if you ever feel like this again please call me, i don’t care what time, your wellbeing is my number one priority”

(i’m blushing oml i love jinwoo so much ;-;)

when it comes to you he would be all bright n’ smiley, no matter how tired he actually was. you knew he had musical promotions coming up which is why you wanted to avoid calling him during the later hours of the day as much as possible. but you should know myungjun is always up to talk to you no matter the time place or day: you’re his love why wouldn’t he? when he answered your call he tried to mask the tiredness in his voice by speaking in a chirpier tone than usual, you laughed at his attempt and said you were going to end the call to let him rest. myungjun of course would never let you have the final say so he started to whine until you gave in and continued to talk to him. then he insisted you guys face timed his excuse being “if i don’t see your face i am physically unable to go to sleep” complete bullshit, but that’s what you love about him. when you answered his face time request he had the biggest shit eating grin on his face. you’d guys would be on call for about an hour telling shitty jokes, blowing raspberries at the screen and talking about places you’d like to visit when you’re both less busy. myungjun only agreed to end the call when both of you struggled intensely to keep your eyes open.

“oooo, look at you my perfect baby!! you’re so good looking you know that? you take my breathe away every single day, i can’t believe you’ve deprived me from seeing your face for this long”

“it’s too late for this myungjun...”

“no matter the time i will shower you with the compliments you deserve jagi!”

good chances are he’s awake and can’t seem to sleep, not being able to clear his head to the point of exhaustion. eunwoo was fully prepared to spend the rest of the night awake. maybe he could do something more useful with his time and catch a nap on set later in the day. kicking off his covers, he was planning to get out of bed but then he got your call. out of all the members i feel eunwoo would be the happiest to get a call from you at this time of night (all of the members wouldn’t really mind but eunwoo would love getting calls like this, it made him feel liked you needed him). when he picked up and there was no hint of sleepiness in his tone you got worried. for the first few minutes all the call was you two sweetly bickering. “why are you still awake-” “well why are you?” “you called me first” “well if you were fast asleep you wouldn’t pick up” and more cute shit like that. talking to you at times like this would bring him so much strength and he really treasures it. something about your silly sleep deprived conversations feels so intimate to him and it sets his heart alight. when he can tell you’re drifting off, he makes sure to tell you he loves you once more before trying to get some sleep himself. the sounds of you soft half-awake sighs would lull him into a deep sleep and you would only notice he never ended the call when you wake up to your phone’s battery being on 3% and the sound of a snoring eunwoo.

“i’ve noticed i don’t sleep as well without you in my arms. i miss your sleepy voice, it’s like a lullaby to me. when i see next you i’m never letting you leave my sight again.”

is it just me or does anyone else think our binnie has a slight temper when he’s woken up from sleep. it wouldn’t last for long but he’ll be very cranky and frustratedly pouty if his alarm had gone off or one of the members started shouting in the dorm when he’s trying to have a lie in. he’d wouldn’t be any different when he heard his phone ringing from the bedside table. he was so tempted to fling that thing out the window. when it went off for the third time he answered the call clumsily almost missing the answer button. in a pissed sleepy voice he answered “what do you want?” you taken aback by your normally sweet boyfriend’s bluntness, whispered a quick apology before ending the call. moonbin felt so awful when he was realised it was you. the last thing this boy wants to do is hurt your feelings and he was angry at himself for denying you in a time of need (now we have a really frustrated pouty bin). he immediately called you back and apologised a lot (even after you said it was fine, his every other sentence was filled with sweet sorry’s and kissy noises just to make sure you don’t hate him) moonbin would calmly ask why you called and got a bit worried when you said you couldn’t sleep. bin would scold you lightly for maybe staring at your screen for too long or not taking as many breaks as he thought you needed. but then again he would comfort you and ask if there’s anything you’d like to get off your chest. after letting you rant he gave his best advice and the most loving and encouraging words he could. you fell asleep to the sounds of his praise and bin couldn’t have felt better.

“baby i’m so so sorry, you know i would never deny you like that on purpose, please don’t be hurt. you’re worth so much to me, i couldn’t bare for you to be upset with me. you know how much i care about you love, right?” *ensue more pouty and whiny bin waffle*

(why this so long and i’m not even binnie biased -_-)

minhyuk would be wide awake when you call him. he feels like one of those people who finds it really relaxing to go on runs in the early morning, watching the sunrise by the river; seeing streets around him get busier as the city starts waking up. he would be in his kitchen filling up his water bottle, hearing his phone ring from the island behind him. his eyes glanced at the contact name and he smiled. minhyuk answered your call like he would answer any other, failing to realise that it was going on 4am and you had things to do in the next few hours. after hearing that you couldn’t sleep he would chuckle and joke around “what’s the thing keeping my y/n from sleeping? tell me and i’ll beat the shit out of the thing ” (not lying he would punch the air around you if you said it was bothering you, he really is that whipped). i don’t think the conversation would hold anything in particular. it would just be mindless small talk and random thoughts as rocky is getting himself ready for his run. it would be so light hearted and sweet, this is what most of your relationship is like and why you love minhyuk so much. everything is so chill and thoughtless with him, you match each other so well. you could say something and nine times out of ten he is thinking the same thing. after sometime he would say he had to end the call because if not he’d miss the sunrise. you complained playfully that he was choosing the sun over you and minhyuk found it funny; promising to make it up to you in one way or another. but you didn’t expect to be woken up by the clattering of pans and cups caused by your clumsy boyfriend, in your kitchen trying to make you breakfast.

“ahh don’t worry y/n, i would never need the sun when i have you with me. you make me so happy you’re like my own personal sunshine. try and get some rest and you’ll wake up to pictures of the sunrise that reminds me so much of you.”

out of all six members, he would be the only one not to pick up. sanah obviously wouldn’t do it on purpose, he loves you way too much to ignore you like that. he probably left his phone to charge in another room or in a more likely scenario poor bubs was just so tired he couldn’t wake up. even if you threw water on him our maknae wouldn’t budge. so when you called, his phone was just vibrating on the table untouched. after the fifth go you just stopped trying to reach him and started up at your celling hoping tiredness would reach you soon. in the morning when sanah checked his phone and saw all your missed calls, colour drained from his face and he’d get so panicky that he’d almost drop his it. he called back immediately, flooding your exhausted state with so many questions it would make anyone lightheaded. when telling him you just wanted to hear his voice hoping it would help you sleep, he replied with “did you end up getting any sleep then?” and when all he was met with was silence from your end, his heart dropped. he was so angry at himself and would never let it go that he was the reason you didn’t sleep (he wasn’t but trust me for the next week he’d go to bed with his phone right behind his ear). sanah would tell you to get your laptop ready with a show you’d been meaning to watch because he was coming over for a nap n’ movie date. when you tried to object because you had things to do that day he told you no but’s and he’d cancel work/school/your meet up with friends for you. in no time he showed up at your door in his pyjamas with two plastic bags, filled with extra blankets and your favourite sweet and savoury snacks.

“what do you mean you didn’t get any sleep and did some work instead? sweetcheeks you know that’s horrible for your health, i can’t have you being sick, it would break me knowing i was the reason. you know what? get your netflix account up i’m coming over- no excuses, i’ll handle everything else, now go get ready to be attack with my love.”

(the sweetest >:( i cry)

if you reached the end thank you so so much for reading. if this comforted you even just a bit i’m so glad <3 ily u all ~~

Dumbass// Park Minhyuk+Jinwoo

Request: Jinjin and Rocky are friends of y/n & they get jealous bc they both secretly like her & they fight.

Genre: Fluff

“Psst.”

You turn your head immediately as the teacher keeps talking about the usual boring topics.

“Y/n.” You hear whispers from the other side and turn to you friend, Jinwoo who was curious if you’re going to the prom, not yet asking if you have a date to the most exciting day of school year.

-“What?” You dramatically reply, trying not to catch too much attention from the other classmates but it seems like everyone are looking at you two. “Prom.” He mouths and as you just successfully read his lips, the teacher cuts you off. -“Am I interrupting you two, Miss and Mr?” The teacher says, crossing his arms against his chest and the entire class turn to look at you, except for one person.

You bow your head towards the teacher and apologize, feeling your cheeks heat up from embarrassment, slapping your own forehead and laugh.

“Are you dumb? Do you realize you always get y/n in trouble?” Minhyuk says coldly to Jinwoo, without looking at his direction as his hand keeps writing sentences in his notebook. -“Hey, it’s not that Mr. Kim didn’t say anything to me though. I also get myself in trouble.” Jinwoo replies with a giggle and sticks the pen between his teeth. -“Why do you even care? I’m her friend just like you are.” He raises an eyebrow, and goes back to not listening to a word Mr. Kim says.

The bell rings, after packing your things, you head to your friends’ desk as you always do but notice their both indifferent expressions.

“What’s wrong with you two?” You laugh, it takes you a few seconds to realize they’re annoyed by each other. -“Nothing, let’s just have lunch.” Minhyuk says and pushes Jinwoo’s shoulder slightly as he walks out of the classroom.

“Park Minhyuk.” You call him by his full name, and they both know that there’s a reason to be worried when you do so. He stops but never turns around to you, you face his back, Jinwoo follows his own lead and heads to the cafeteria.

-“Nothing, he never notices he gets you in trouble.” Minhyuk says when he turns to you and you take a step closer. “Are you talking about what happened in class?” You ask and he nods, making eye contact with you finally. “Why would- ugh Minhyuk!” You sigh, grab his wrist and drag him to the cafeteria. “We do it all the time, don’t let it bother you, I don’t want my two best friends to be annoyed by each other with that sulky face you two have.” He looked down because you didn’t notice he cares for you more than you think he does, but he didn’t even mean to fight for you to know it.

“Yah, what’s that-OH my god.” The next morning was lovely until Jinwoo entered the classroom with a bruise under his eyes, looks like it was bleeding until not long ago.

-“Y/n. Just leave it.” He gripped onto your wrist, slightly harsh at first but as soon as he realized it, he let go. “Minhyuk did it to you, didn’t he?” You ask and he just walks to his seat and places his backpack on Minhyuk’s seat, you didn’t take a second to understand you were right and that Minhyuk won’t come to school today.

You took your phone out of the back pocket of your jeans, texting Minhyuk.

You: What tf park minhyuk?!!!

It took him only few seconds to read your message, wondering what he should respond with.

Hyuk: You just never realize who’s the bad guy in situations y/n

You: Wtf are you talking about? I realize what I see and that’s your damn punch in Jinwoo’s face

Hyuk: You’re doing that again

You: doing what???

Hyuk: defending him. Like you always do.

You knew that he’s only uses punctuation marks whenever he’s upset or serious.

You: I’m coming over, I hate maths anyways

He left you on seen, usually you would care if he left you on seen but you weren’t in the mood getting more confused nor angry because of him.

You and Minhyuk are close as siblings, that you had a spare key to his house. Little did you know he’s feelings for you were more than for a sister.

“Minh-“ you knock on his door, calling his name but he opens it before you get to finish it, he noticed the smell of your perfume as he always does from kilometers away. “I need explanations.” You say, stepping inside and closing the door behind you. -“I think you need some coffee first.” He says and heads to the fridge to get you a can of your favorite coffee flavor.

“Now explain.”

-“I have nothing to explain.”

He takes a seat on the sofa, turns on the TV and sits back comfortably. Your jaw dropped since you never saw him acting like that. “That’s not you Minhyuk, what the hell is going on?”

He doesn’t even spare a look at you, just playing with the remote control and looking for something random to watch on Netflix. “Listen, I came all the way here from school-“

-“That’s 4 minutes away.”

“Shut up,” you grab the remote from his hand and turn off the TV, it was way too much for you for one morning.

-“Why can’t you never see things as they are? You’re too complicated y/n.” He sits up, a vein is showing on his forehead. “What things? Are we not speaking the same language? I can’t understand you lately.” You sigh, exhausted from all this.

-“You take his side, when I am the one to always take yours.” He confesses, makes you look up at him, he looks upset. “Well I’m sorry but he didn’t PUNCH YOUR FACE EARLY IN THE MORNING?!”

-“I was nervous and furious. Do you really think I would be able to do that just because I have a fist?”

“What do you mean-“

-“I did it because he always harms you and you don’t even notice… aish.” He mumbles the last word under his breath and stands up, heading to the kitchen.

“What’s up with you two recently? Acting strange like-“ you follow him while saying those words, suddenly he pushes you against the wall lightly yet too fast for your brain to realize what he just did. “Minhy-“ you were about to call him but he acts quicker than you can concentrate and attaches his lips against yours, holding your neck with one hand as the other is on the wall behind you.

-“Still don’t realize anything?” He asks as he pulls away, his face is still few inches from yours, his lips taste like the greatest coffee flavor. “I don’t think so, try again.” You tell him, pulling him by the shirt closer to you, tilting your head and tasting his lips.

“Dumbass.” You say once you pull away, both of you can’t help but smile at each other, hearts racing. “Why would you punch his face?” You we’re still on cloud nine from his chaste kisses but had to figure things out. -“He likes you too, dumbass.” He repeats after you.

“Who else does?” You ask with a smirk, trying to make him say that, still gripping on his shirt.

-“Ah- exhausting.” He rolls his eyes.

-“I like you, a lot, y/n.” He finally says, his eyes shine like the brightest star in the night skies.

“Okay, that’s still not a reason.” You tease him, you could swear he can hear the beating of your heart after he said those words.

“I like you too, Minhyuk. Dumbass.”

-“Is that my second name now?”

“Good idea.”

-“Don’t even think about it-“

You cut him off by pulling him again for a sweet kiss.

Being Stupid

Rating; Angst, a bit of fluff at the end

Warnings ⚠️ ; N/A

WC; 0.6K

M/P ; Eunwoo x reader

Prompt; Here

You groaned. Yet again, Eunwoo had managed to get himself into a lot of trouble through a few words. Explaining who he was to the security and apologising, you drag a mildly annoyed Eunwoo to his car, snatching the keys from his pocket. You lock the car then lead him down the street, ignoring his protests of "Why are we leaving my car?" And "It'll get stolen! Them what will I do?"

Eventually, Eunwoo fell into silence, still trailing you. If you couldn't hear his footsteps, you'd question if he was still behind you. You navigated the streets expertly, barely flinching at the shadowy alleyways you passed. Eunwoo, however, being the easily scared man he is, felt nervous and did his best to see down each as he passed them.

Trotting up to walk beside you, his arm wrapped around yours, seeking comfort. You allowed him to do so, barely reacting.

It was going well until a group you passed made a comment about the both of you and set him off once more, the level of alcohol in his body fuelling his anger. He spun, dropping your arm sharply and halting.

'Oi, idiot.' He called. 'Yeah. I'm talking to you. Want to say that again?'

His eyes were fiery, daring his opposer to repeat their words.

They simply glanced over their shoulder at him, scoffing softly. 'You're clinging to them.' They gestured to you briefly. 'What are they going to do? Seduce an attacker?'

You held Eunwoo's arm tightly, trying to break his spell. Alas, the man pulled away, following the people. Before he could approach, you jumped in front of him, glaring. 'Do. Not. Do. That.' You snapped, standing stubbornly in his path and placing your hands on your hips. One staring contest later, Eunwoo drops his aggressive behaviour and turns, hanging his head and leading the way to your place.

You checked him over once the door was locked. Taking a seat on the couch and ignoring him, you turned the tv on. 'I'm sorry.' Eunwoo attempted to catch your attention.

'Y/N, I'm really, really sorry, I behaved wrongly and I shouldn't have.' Came his second attempt moments later. You simply shifted on the cushion beneath you, tuning his words out.

It had been about an hour and a half when Eunwoo had had enough of you ignoring him. Switching the tv off, he turned to face you, staring holes into the side of your face. 'Y/N.' You exhaled, leaning back into the couch. 'What?' You mumbled, still refusing to turn your head toward him in the slightest.

'I said I was sorry almost two hours ago, and you've not said anything.'

'Should I care? Every time we go out, it's the same thing. You get uncharacteristically...angry...and it's getting old.'

A sigh answered you. He ruffled his hair on a soft, barely audible groan. 'I love you, okay?'

You chuckled, shaking your head. 'Stop it.' You turned to look at him, the irritation at his actions rising up. 'You're being stupid.'

Seeing his chance - a chance - he moved closer, meeting your gaze. 'If that's what being in love with you makes me, then so be it.' You could feel your breath hitch; the irritation melt away,meltspite only appearing only moments before. With a nod, you lean toward him slowly. You saw Eunwoo prepare for a potential kiss and smiled, snatching the tv remote and sitting back again, pretending to still be annoyed. He whined and leaned in, creating his chin on your shoulder and looking up at you like a sad puppy dog. You continued watching the tv with a small smirk on your lips. 'So be it.' You reiterated softly.

Astro Reaction To...

@nctzenaroha ‘s Request;;

Hi, can I get an astro reaction to their girlfriend cuddling up to them because it's cold please? Thank you!

My Masterlist || ASTRO Masterlist

Notes;;

If your heater breaks, keep your taps dripping to prevent them from freezing. also...

STAN ASTRO! STREAM KNOCK

JinJin || Jinwoo

The movie wasn't boring per se, it was just slow and Jinwoo wasn't feeling it. He hoped, however, that his disinterest wasn't obvious; you had been waiting to watch it for a few weeks now and he didn't want to sour the mood. His gaze would be on the screen but his attention would be elsewhere in a poor attempt to seem present and invested in the plot, throwing in an occasional nod or gasp here and there for effect. His timing wasn't great but it somehow worked all the same.

Perhaps because you were focused on the film, you hadn't noticed him gradually zone out so when your ice-cold hand slipped under his shirt, his resulting jolt startled you both. With how long it took you to squirm under the blanket that was draped over his lap, you thought he'd have noticed you long before you had moved on to infiltrating his hoodie. His eyes were almost as wide as the perfect 'o' his lips formed as he stared down at you, shocked and now wide alert.

You laughed it off with a quick apology, muttering about being cold before focusing on the movie once more. You curled against his side and rested your head on his shoulder; you looked content. Jinwoo didn't want to disturb you but he also didn't want to risk you getting cold again so he'd give you both the hoodie and the blanket. Once you both settled back down onto the couch and he felt just how cold the room was without the additional layers, he'd be the one cuddling you.

"I could just about fall asleep in your arms, baby."

MJ || Myungjun

It had been a week since the heater went out and it would be another week before the repairman could fix it. You couldn't fathom why the wait was so long no matter which company you called but the weather had been rather tame as of late so you didn't mind. The nights hadn't been too cold. They were bearable. Perhaps even enjoyable.

All that changed, however, when a cold front hit the city. Even when the sun shone bright at its peak, the air was unforgiving. Falling asleep that night felt about as comfortable as sleeping in a cooler. You hadn't thought it could get colder than that until the next morning brought even lower temperatures. Daybreak offered no reprieve. Without any heat source to mitigate the chill that had lingered around the house all day, nightfall only brought lower temperatures and the threat of both frozen pipes and extremities.

Even armed with a mountain of blankets, you couldn't shake off the cold. Staying in one spot in order to marinate in your body heat seemed like a good idea until your joints creaked and ached. Moving would warm you up just a tad but then you'd have to face the freezing sheets again. When you tried to find a spot that was somehow warmer than your current one, you only found misery. Any spot left unoccupied for too long was consumed by chill. Every time you moved to a new position, your feet just about froze.

Your tossing and turning woke Myungjun, who in turn was quick to complain about the frost that he was sure would coat his face by dawn. With a roll of the eyes, you were about to remind him that he wasn't the only one suffering when you turned over and felt it; an abundance of warmth radiating off your boyfriend. Like a cat drawn to a patch of sunlight, you gravitated toward the source. The closer you inched toward him, the closer he inched toward you. When your fingers met and entwined with his, the chill that had burrowed deep into your bones was chased away. Without hesitation, he pulled you against his chest. Where his hands rested against your back, heat pooled and rolled outward in waves. His lips brushed against your ear as he snuggled close to you.

"You know, the fastest way to warm up is skin to skin contact."

Eunwoo || Dongmin

Whether it was pride or enthusiasm, you were withholding the fact that you were indeed freezing from your boyfriend in favour of enjoying your date night to the fullest. He had suggested bringing something warmer but you were still in denial of the season change. It was too early for the weather to be this cold. The sweater you donned should have been enough in your book but now that you were out in an open field surrounded by nothing but clear skies and barren trees, you realised that a cumbersome jacket wouldn't have been half bad.

The stars shone and dazzled above you. It had been so long since you'd seen them this clearly. The city had so much to offer, with many beautiful sights that were limited to the urban experience, but there was something serene about a night sky void of human interference. This far from civilisation you only have the moon to illuminate your world.

Dongmin watched you from the corner of his eye. He was concerned. It was colder than usual but you still hadn't asked to leave. When he suggested packing up a bit early, you told him you wanted to stay longer. Date nights weren't as frequent as either of you would like, not with how busy you both were with your careers. He understood why you didn't want to go home yet and he couldn't say he didn't feel the same way, he just didn't want you to jeopardise your health for it, either.

When you flung forward into a sitting position and tugged on his shirt sleeve, pointing at a shooting star as it danced across a sky millions of miles away, he took the opportunity to wrap one of the blankets around you. It had been the one you were laying on. Turning back to him with a small protest on your lips, he silenced you with a soft smile and open arms.

"It's too cold without you here beside me."

Moonbin || Bin

Whenever he danced, you were mesmerized. There was a certain grace and precision he executed when he moved, one that entranced you. His skill was unparalleled. He was the definition of dedication as he gave his all to the routine regardless of the declining temperatures. If a single move was shy of perfect, he'd restart. If a single prop missed the mark or the effects weren't exact, he'd restart.

Moonbin had requested that you come watch his performance as they filmed it. He insisted that it would be more powerful to watch in person. While he wasn't wrong, you didn't realise the number of takes and effort filming a short dance required. The rooftop they chose to film on was beautiful with its extravagant garden and cityscape view but the occasional car honk or overhead plane forced a restart of the whole performance. It had to be done all in one take and that seemed near impossible.

Frustrations were running high when he was twenty seconds from completion and one of the portable lights broke. A cacophony of apologies and orders grated against the grinding chorus of metal against metal as repairs began. Crew members scrambled to find some way to look busy for fear of the director's wrath. The producer decided to have a chat with Bin, stopping him en route to you. You chuckled at his attempts to both seem interested and to end the interaction. Once he freed himself from the conversation, he was by your side.

The temperature was steadily falling and you hadn't brought a big enough jacket to combat it. Your boyfriend, however, had. He was talking about the shoot when you made your move. Leaning over to grab it from the seat beside him and nodding along to his story, you struggled to get a proper grip on the slick material. You had been listening to his story so when he came to an abrupt stop, you looked up. He wasn't impressed. Before you had time to think, he lifted you from your chair and onto his lap. His arms encaged you tight against his chest.

"If you wanted to cuddle, you should've just said something."

Rocky || Minhyuk

Snow drifted down from the dark skies. It floated on the wind, spiralling and swaying before falling out of sight. A moderate layer had collected on the balcony railing. The railing didn't block your view and acted as a slight wind breaker, something you were quite grateful for on nights like these. Lights twinkled in the distance as the city's nightlife bustled regardless of the poor weather conditions.

While the original plan had been to catch a movie at the local theatre, both you and Minhyuk decided against it. The storm rolled in without warning and had been close to a blizzard at its prime. It had since died down but the hour was much too late for an adventure out on the town. Not that it was necessary - you had been looking forward to spending quality time with your boyfriend and that's exactly what you'd done.

Over the course of the storm, the conversation had devolved into comfortable silence. Sitting on a loveseat swing that had rocked on its own accord with the high winds, you rested your head against Minhyuk's shoulder as you both gazed out upon the city. On occasion you caught him staring at your lips with an odd expression but when you brought it up, he'd just smile, plant a kiss on your lips, and pull you closer. After a few repetitions of this, you began to look to him when you felt cold and, without fail, his chaste kisses and soft fingertips would warm you.

"Whenever you're cold, I'll keep you warm."

Sanha || Sanha

There were many smiling faces in your direct view. Couples and families alike were enjoying the winter season and the perks it brought: ice and a lot of it. One of the largest lakes in the region had fallen victim to the deep freeze and had been declared safe enough to skate on. As one might expect, people had flocked to it. The desire to be outside with your loved ones in the dead of winter just so you could glide across frozen water was infectious and evidently Sanha wasn't immune to it.

You couldn't deny that the first hour had been magical. Metal skates sliced through the ice and it became fine dust, sparkling as it hung suspended in the air for what felt like an eternity. Everyone's joy was contagious. It was a winter wonderland. There wasn't a frown to be had…

Until you kept bumping into people. Or rather people kept bumping into you. It wasn't your intention to be a sour sport. You could handle a few nudges here or there but even you had a limit. After the third bump that resulted in your (hard) collision with the very wet and very cold ice, your mood had been dampened beyond repair.

What most definitely didn't help was Sanha's persistent teasing. Joking came first, helping you came second. Even when you both toppled down, he'd still be laughing. He wasn't going to let his night be ruined over some accidents and so you tried to follow his lead. He did have a point - the only person capable of affecting your state of mind was yourself and you shouldn't let anyone steal the night's magic from you.

Your new and improved mindset didn't last long. Your clothes were drenched. Your face was red. Your knees were sore. You were freezing and every time you tried to use Sanha for warmth, he blocked your attempt. Claiming he didn't want his own clothes to get wet from transference, he'd skate just out of reach. He even refused to lend you his gloves. It wasn't until you told him you were leaving and you attempted to storm off the ice that he'd cuddle you.

"What am I, your personal space heater? I'm kidding! You know I can't resist teasing you."
