Wow, ok. I’ve come back down to planet Earth in order to tell you what catapulted (trebucheted?) me up there. Firstly, you are very sneaky about your WIPs, not giving us many hints about what you’re working on until it’s ready to drop. That is, of course, your prerogative, but it makes the impact of your stories strike that much harder when we don’t know what to expect. Perhaps that is your entire strategy after all….😎
I didn’t know what this was. You indicated ‘summer romance,’ I thought, ‘awww, warm fuzzies, maybe a beach and a split at the end of the season’. WRONG. What I got was sweetheart Benedict in all of his empathic glory, the most idyllic English countryside setting, Reader taking that nervous leap to reckon with her feelings, the most tantalizing and ROMANTIC intimacies, and….wtf…my name is in this?!? 😅 You hit me with wave after wave of ache, joy, sweetness, gratitude, anticipation, and pleasure…omg the pleasure. It was like a rollercoaster I couldn’t get off and didn’t want to…I mean, we all want to get off, but I mean….you know what I mean. Ok - to the points!
Reader starts out with melancholy, and I don’t think it’s just situational based on Caroline bailing. Benedict says as much, and Reader knows as much. But you don’t explicitly outline the reason for her mood. Benedict, the dear heart, explains it in the most flattering and sincere way, that she feels and thinks so deeply, it’s hard to be blindly happy. I love that he can sense this in someone and cherish them for it and it’s also making me wonder how he is capable of disproving his own point. We all know he feels and sees the most, and processes everyone else’s stories and emotions before acting. But I would still describe him as being on the golden-retriever side of ‘blindly happy’ in terms of day-to-day disposition. He is still a ball of goofy joy even though he has depth. Perhaps he can help Reader learn to balance in the same way. Maybe he is just waiting for the opportunity…. Which brings me back to my original point. I suspect that Reader’s melancholy is at least partially due to these feelings she is not confronting. Y’know…THOSE ones. That she has Benedict fucking Bridgerton in her life, detecting all her feelings, rubbing her back, championing her happiness, saying “I love you, darling,” (😵) and she SOMEHOW has not declared her love for him yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ve been friends forever, it’s “weird” or something. But the heart wants what it wants and when you know, you know. (And I know they find out soon enough, I’m just ribbing!)
“I resent her for stealing my sunshine” and later he calls her Sunshine! ☀️😭 stop it…..stop it! The little pet names you have worked into your sexy stories thus far just slay me.
“Parts of your personality came alive with Benedict because he was the only one who had earned those parts of you.” Yep, I told you this is where the tears started. This man and his gentle empathy would be the one to earn access to every part of me. (If you know what I mean, badum tsk)
“You were never able to stomach the way negative emotions haunted his features. They didn’t belong there, not coinciding with his light.” You capture him so perfectly. See? Golden-retriever levels of happiness. You described him as the world’s light in If the World Was Ending too and it’s just so apt. It makes my heart ache in the best way 🥹
“Somehow his teasing prediction already made you feel less alone.” This was a note you left for me on Love to Spare. Somehow, just knowing he exists can change you, even if he’s not right there with you. The thought of him can make you feel less alone, more exhilarated, happier, more alive. Ugghhhhh this fucking guyyyyyy
Ok the use of ‘Sunshine’ when Reader answers the door as a mess I initially thought was a joke, until he kept using it. Then it works on both levels. Adorable!
I think you’re calling him a nuisance as a codeword for you know what 😉
“I didn’t say I was alone. I said I was lonely…” The haunted look had returned to contort his beautiful face. *screaming screaming screaming in Benophie* This is the only way this boy falls in love, I swear. He’s got the charisma and looks to have someone every night but he KNOWS he is lonely in his soul until he finds that one person….
“The undeniable need to vanquish anything that creased his brow pulled you toward him.” Beautiful! So evocative.
“He was comfortable in your silence, and you in his.” I have to ask, was this a deliberate Benophie reference? Because if so, bravo you clever sneak, and if not, I love that Benedict just gives off the same energy in every universe so that we all want the same thing: to sit and read while he stands and paints. Maybe our eyes wander off the page (a lot) to look at those back muscles and the dance of his fingers, the inquisitive furrow in his brow…..(the paintbrushes stored in his waistband???)
Hoo boy then we reach the manuscript part. Full disclosure, I kinda forgot when you asked to use our fics and wasn’t thinking anything of it. I fully read through all the way to “when the unthinkable happened” musing, ‘“hmm, interesting focus on this story she’s reading. Sounds kinda dark, what is the unthinkable thing…? OH SHIT.” And I just sat in open-mouthed gratitude for all of the lovely things you wrote and the fact that you worked this into a story at all. I am now fully committed to us making a whole meta-fic universe within our little circle: full of menaces and zombies and dastardly Benjamins. 😆 Seriously, my heart stopped too when Reader’s did, because I was just so flattered and moved. Tears were shed. 🫶
I’m also so pleased that you took the opportunity for these beautiful little meta-nods. “Her leading man bore a striking resemblance to yours…Images of Benedict’s face flooded your mind” Teeeheeeheee 😉 I’ll amend my new catchphrase and say: I’m sorry I hurt you, but glad that it made you finally realize you can’t lose that man, you love him, and you need to act on it now!
The fact that she says “I’m just remembering you” when he’s standing right in front of her. I know that’s the demented pain I put you through. I know those are piano bench feelings. I’m sorry 💙
Ahhhhhh! Benedict said my name! He said my name!! 😍 heeeheeee It’s goofy how much joy this brings me. Thank you so much!!
“if the world came tumbling down and you left out that he was the only one…” Ooooo girlllllll, I see you working in all these lyrics!
Touch, touch, touch…..his language. You know I love it 😉
“I was beginning to worry that you’d never feel it.” Gah, the friends-to-lovers fools! (affectionate) I ADORE this line. That he just has to say ‘it’. Not, ‘you finally kissed me’, not ‘you’re showing that you want me’, not ‘feel the love between us’. He doesn’t have to say anything. They both know. They have known for a while. They don’t need to explain or define or set parameters. They are all in for each other and they know it, inherently. They just had to cross that threshold. This also calls me back to Anthony’s love declaration (which makes me swoon!) “But you must know it in your heart. You must feel it because I do.” (yes he bookends this with ‘I love yous’ but still, that inherent knowing)
““Well worth the wait,” he declared, tucking your hair behind your ear.” Oh fuck….oh no….here comes the seducer. I need to stop crying and cross my legs, shit.
“The smell of him, so close and invasive, was a provocative elixir calling out to awaken wanton need.” You can’t make my eyes cross this soon! Not when we have thousands of words to go!!! Seriously, what 👏 a 👏 phrase 👏
“This lust was an insatiable beast, only mollified by his touch.” Still….can’t…..uncross…..eyes….
The CONSENT that this man asks for! At every turn! And whyyyyy is it always so hotttttt???
I love that you wrote a busty Reader and tackled her insecurities in this moment. While never dropping the temp on their encounter, you depict what is realistically likely to be going through women’s minds. And of course Ben perfectly assuages those fears, overcoming them emotionally and physically. “That other man’s hands were simply inferior.” Snap damn! Move over asshole, Cube Jumper McBigHands is here and we are putting those digits to WORK!!
Oh my…the inclusion of the voyeuristic photographer. You surprised me with this one! But it adds an extra layer of delicious sin, something to titillate and motivate. And they get the best souvenirs out of this in your surprise ending!! So clever.
““Look at me,” he commanded.” Quessssstion: Was this a reference to the new Lady Chatterley’s Lover film? Because loverboy in that movie says this same line while he is performing the same action and when I tell you it made me lose my wig…. Go watch that movie if you haven’t, I found it to be 🤌 and just pray that their intimacy coordinator works on Bton lol
“I’m aching, Ben. Make it better.” ACK! I am slipping down in my chair.
““Arch for her. Show her how gorgeous your skin is while it’s blushed with heat. Such a pretty color.”” 😳😳😳
Ok…like…how do I find the right way to say this without sounding like an absolute creep? There are actions and moments and lines in your intimate scenes that are precisely my thing, like you know all my turn-ons and tailor made this for me. I really shouldn’t be surprised given how similar we have already found ourselves to be, but you just keep coming out and reading my mind with your work and feedback. Spooky, but also, I love you for it.
“One strong hand wrapped around your throat, pulling you harshly against his muscular torso. His growl in your ear had you dripping for him all over again. “I’m going to fuck you. Do you understand?”” And the award for hottest consent request goes to…. 🥵🥵
“you could feel the steady thrum of his pulse thumping against your walls.” Glad he has a pulse because I don’t anymore 💀
Have to say, I love the position they’re in. It’s one I don’t feel we see very often - creative, but completely plausible and makes the most sense given that they’re kinda-clothed and only wanting to put on a little show for the photographer, not be completely exposed. He can’t even see her face but they are clinging to each other so tight… aaagggghhhhhh
“His hand left your throat to tilt your face into his, foreheads pressed together in intimacy. “Eyes on me,” he ordered. “Don’t look at her. This part of you is mine.”” AGAIN with the looking, but there is so much layered under his last sentence. He’s being feral and possessive, but also wants to see her fully as they come apart together for the first time. If we know Benedict, we know this is driven by emotion as much as it is by carnality. It’s not just her climax that’s his, it’s her focus, her heart, the moment they explode into their next chapter together. He wants to remember it forever. 🫠🫠🫠
That climax….eyes are irreparably crossed…
One of the absolute best things about this story is how the “I love you” moment is so gentle and small, you can almost miss it. It’s not a grand declaration, it’s not something that stirs any shock or conflict in Reader. It’s just a sweet statement of fact, of everything they’ve both been feeling for a long time. Benedict isn’t scared to say it so easily because he knows she feels the same and isn’t going to be scared upon hearing it. Back to my earlier point: they don’t really have to talk about these feelings because they both understand and accept them so fully. It just IS. 🥰
6 Weeks Later - thank you for publishing my ‘book’ and I sincerely hope that Benedict does indeed congratulate you by removing all his clothes 😜
“brow furrowed in angst” pffft hehe 😉
“For loving me back.” Ahhh this is so sweet but also - BITCH you knew she did (affectionate)
Phew. This was…this was just so much. A gorgeous blend of feelings and references and sin that was terrifyingly on point for me. This is the dressing for the wound of I’ll Be Seeing You. This beautiful love (and steamy fucking sex omgggggg) used that nudge of loss to take root, and I’m so grateful it did. You have righted my wrongs 😜 You grew a blossom out of that pain.
This somehow feels like a combination of the three fics you’ve written previously. It pulls out the best strengths of each and weaves them together and it felled me, in the very best of ways. Bravo, hallelujah, and I need to go lie down. 💙

______________________________________________
Disappointment. That was the overwhelming sensation coloring your mood as you looked down at the message on your phone. Your sister had canceled on you again. It had been six months since you last saw her and you were starting to miss her.
This always happened when she got into a new relationship. The constant companion you had known your whole life suddenly transformed into the biggest flake on the planet. You were happy she was happy, but she never saw outside of her little love bubble when there was a new guy.
At times, you could smile and write it off as an endearing quirk, but this time your irritation was a bit harder to quell. The trip you were supposed to be taking together this weekend had been planned for weeks. The excitement of seeing your baby sister and enjoying uninterrupted relaxation was the only thing getting you through the tedious tasks weighing you down at work. You knew this cloud of disappointment was going to linger for a few days.

Honestly the main reason I keep pushing the tamcien agenda is because I just believe lucien deserves to be with a big sexy guy 🤷🤷.
#i feel like lucien is the character whose most often thought of as straight and that just?? did nobody clock what i clocked when reading tar#like he’s literally shipped with every female character (elain/nesta/feyre/vassa) which is great but like#i just believe he deserves (and wants) a big sexy man manhandling him or him manhandling them#good dick would heal him#like what if i said lucien x jurian??? lucien x rhys ??? lucien x azriel ??? lucien x cassian???#what then#acotar#a court of thorns and roses#lucien vanserra#i’m like half joking#pro lucien vanserra

a/n: wake up. food's ready. just sat here for a few minutes and rehabbed an old draft that was probably based on this fabulous onceler drabble, I think? also VERY pg13... not really any explicit sex but. it's a lot about sex. my blog and my writing used to be so sfw but cece is back after her most recent troubling sexual relationship and is probably sexier than ever. he he ha ha help me. I hope you enjoy. also reader is gn but does get called beautiful so if that feels gendered or triggering to you please be aware! also mentions of tipsy/inebriated sex!!!! so dubcon in that way? I tried to make everyone not drunk drunk but if tipsy sex is slimy for you watch out for that too
10:45AM
Yamaguchi wakes up slowly, eyes halfway open, naked body warm. And then he remembers what happened. The muscles in his body all tense at once, and it takes every fiber of his being to stay still. No no no no no. That hadn't happened. Shit. That hadn't happened, right?
But it had. His palm is resting on the soft skin of your hip and despite his best efforts he's squeezing lightly, so fucking nervous, and you're squirming toward him, still asleep, smiling softly, and it had, it had happened, oh god, it had.
Fuck. His ears are ringing with anxiety. What had happened? What had happened? He hadn't drank nearly enough last night for this to possibly have fucking happened.
And the information floods his mind as you nuzzle closer to his chest, your skin flush against his, a soft kiss where your mouth meets his shoulder. You, Tsukki, Tsukki breaking up with you — meanly, meaner than was necessary. You, Yamaguchi, and Tsukki, best friends, best friends since freshman year and Tsukki dating you and Yamaguchi shutting up and enduring it and you feeling tired of Tsukki's pretentiousness and his mean jokes and you telling Yamaguchi about it and Yamaguchi telling Tsukki about it and instead of fixing it making it worse and then you. You. YOU.
You with no more Tsukki, crying into his shoulder, and saying you just want to fuck someone. You're not even angry, you knew this was coming, you just want to fuck someone to forget. And Yamaguchi, the ever-loving asshole that he is, saying yes, yes, that makes sense, instead of saying, no, it's a bad idea. And then your dorm room, and then your sheets, and then your skin, god, your fucking skin. And now probably a hundred missed calls from Tsukki when Yamaguchi can chance a look at his phone, and the swirling feeling of bile coming up his throat, but what the fuck was he supposed to do? Wouldn't anyone have done the same?
He'd been in love with you since he first laid eyes on you, and in better, kinder ways than Tsukki, he knew. You were so beautiful, a ray of sunshine, someone who deserved the world, and to be treated with tenderness, and care. Tsukki just treated you like he did any other adoring idiot who was obsessed with him. Yamaguchi knew you deserved someone who was obsessed with you, and he knew he could be that. He knew he could love you. He had to constantly fucking remind Tsukki how you took your coffee in the morning, and what your favorite flavor of ice cream was, and that it did in fact matter when he got home if you were waiting up for him, and that you actually cared about him more than he knew and he shouldn't be wasting this opportunity treating you like an annoyance, like you didn't deserve his attention. Hell, with everything Yamaguchi tried to do to make sure you were treated right, you might as well have been dating him the whole time.
And he hated how his heart twinged with jealousy every time you chose his best friend over him, but he let it happen, because he loved you, even though he just fucking knew that wasn't how it was supposed to be. And then last night, everyone was tipsy, and you were crying, and he saw the chance to show you what really being loved could look like, and he took it. Fuck.
You mumble something soft and sweet against his shoulder and he remembers what he said last night with you on top of him, the only thing he could find the words to say, in every cadence he could think of, even after you laughed and told him to stop:
"I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you."
Yamaguchi swallows hard.
It hadn't been sex. It had been love. And that was so, so much worse.
#the stuff of cece#haikyuu!!#haikyuu x reader#haikyuu x you#haikyuu x y/n#haikyuu x gender neutral reader#yamaguchi tadashi#yamaguchi x reader#yamaguchi x y/n#yamaguchi x you#tsukishima kei#hq x reader#hq x you#hq x y/n#hq x gender neutral reader#idk if this is good but the idea has been in my brain and im getting attention by writing fanfiiction he he he he#also yamaguchi im reading all ur sexy fics sir so you can marry me now!!!!!!!#yams/tsukki/you situation feels real challengers coded in some of these fics I won't lie#that 'not fair' one by Tumblr user Akaash me outside.... ya#I. love u yamaguchi. show me what it means to be loved hm? :)

Love when people write Toji like they're in dire need of a dick me down but I love it even more when they write him all fluffy and soft. Give him the domestic life he was so ready to settle for. Give him the chance to be an actual father to Megumi and Tsumiki and not leave the fragmented hopes that died with mamaguro. Give him a path away from bloodshed after time and time again of having to wash his hands, his weapons, clothes, of crimson red--whether his, anothers, or both.
Let him find a new love, that while it might not be mamaguro, but helps mend the pieces he lets chip away, too tired to do it himself, he doesn't know how, he thinks he's a lost cause. That there's no point. but you can prove him wrong. It doesn't even need to be love, just someone who helps him see he doesn't have to be alone.
I love a soft Toji, where his inner child gets the care he deserved, and where he gets to truly live his life and not just survive or wake up for the next morning.
#toji fushiguro#jjk#jjk toji#jujustu kaisen#jujutsu toji#jujutsu kaisen toji#i just think he's neat#i went from hating him to loving him and thats genuinely because of fics ive read here on tumblr#they gave me a new perspective on him#like okay#big sexy dom man is a killer in thr sheets#but he's not so one dimensional and he's got feelings that we didn't get to see much of and i find it so absolutely lovely to see when he's#written with his feelings and allowed to feel them or when he's written to be so overwhelmed by them in such a good way and its just#ISNSHSJSJS GSSSVSHSJ#I'd like to hug him but he wouldn't let me#but this is my imagination soooooo

You doing ok?
hi
#i'm alive. simply being chewed upon by multiple things#work is more stressful than i'd like it to be. for instance i'm hoping that i submitted my time off notification for tomorrow correctly#because otherwise it might read as a no call no show and i would . like to continue having a job#now to be fair. i do have it on the system that i requested it at the beginning of the month and i emailed my supervisor about it last week#so even if i didn't submit it correctly i'm likely in the clear#but nonetheless. i also got a firm talking-to the other day and now i am on ✨thin ice✨ for dicking around too much#because they track ur idle time at my work (computer) and mine was Quite High so my supervisor was like man what the hell is this#but even though she was kind of baffled at me spending so much time dicking around#she couldn't even really be all that mad in the end because i'm still doing good numbers and have made no (zero) mistakes#so she was just like. it's kind of impressive that your numbers look this good when you literally have 50% idle time#so she goes imagine what you could do if you weren't wasting so much time#and yeah i can whip out some Really Good Numbrers when i put the effort in.#so the problem is not my numbers it's just that i'm not spending long enough doing my tasks for the day#but i don't want to drag out those tasks intentionally so i've just been upping my own standards/goals#as much as i hate giving any more of my brain power than is necessary to giant corporations#it's still easy to feel smug after you get Talked To and then immediately turn around and show off#like yeah i coulda been doing this good the whole time. literally pulling up by 20 points. i just didn't want to.#trying to keep everyone's expectations low but accidentally toed the line of um. not working enough to keep my job#...anyway.

Just finished the third season of Bridgerton (it was an incredibly frustrating watch)...People have said that Penelope is named as such because of her nickname Pen and her being a writer... but has anyone thought of the reference to the Odyssey and Penelope being the wife of Odysseus? You know, she had to be loyal for 20 years while Odysseus gallivanted across the globe and was distracted/cheating on her Circe? I feel like it goes with the whole Polin narrative too. She's the one who had to wait for him to get a clue. And if you've read the Penguin version of the Odyssey, you know everyone is like omg! Odysseus, so amazing, the sacker of cities etc. Which parallels Colin's "glow up". Totally think it's more of a literary reference since the two of them are writers...
#bridgerton#bridgerton season 3#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#polin#don't know how much this works for the book#didn't read the books#I ranted at my sister for an hour straight about this season (behated)#wtf was the character arcs for any of the characters this season? a whole lot of nothing..#the writers literally set everything up and then did everything in their power to make the arcs pointless#soooo many crimes of telling instead of showing#bridgerton was never high art but season 1 and 2 landed character and the audience buying into the relationships and cheering for the coupl#disappointed#literally feel like I hated polin in what was supposed to be their season#colin vascilates wildly... and there are like two scenes where i recognize the character he was is season 1 and 2#literally hated him for soooo much#really hate how the season wasn't about the couple but whistledown#and yet they couldn't show us WHY Penelope wants to keep being Whistledown besides telling us why so I just don't get why#they could not decide if whistledown is good or bad and settled on girlboss power!#but here i am like girl... you're ruining lives... you've ruined lives... it's just gossip#they literally screwed over all their characters for nothing#their scenes of intimacy don't land because they feel incredibly paint by numbers and often occur after intense confrontations#confrontations that do not logically make sense for sexy times#the mirror scene exists purely as plot so colin can later accuse Penelope of trapping him in marriage#like that's suuuuper ick#they made colin so incredibly ick i don't recognize him or want him with Penelope#even Penelope making the choice to be whistledown over her new family was insane and illogical based on how the plot developed#i watched the seaon twice to really pin down how I feel and ended up rewatching season 1 and 2 because season 3 part 2 pissed me off so muc#and it's sooo night and day#i just feel sad because i wanted to root for this couple too... but they made it unrootable

in another world I was a booktok romantasy girlie because I think characters having swords pinned at each others throats is the definition of sexual tension, but unfortunately god bestowed good literary taste upon me, so alas I cannot read anything the booktok girlies recommend without cringing so hard I throw up
#fantasy#booktok#romantasy#like I could’ve been one of them#but no I have to be the type of person to get pretentious about books#I can’t enjoy a book unless the writing is somewhat good 😔#and also I feel like I have so many literary icks and icks in a romantic sense that it just wasn’t in the cards for me#I also just cannot read a book solely for romance because I find it horribly boring personally#but like…. enembje to lovner…#sexy man with sword……….

I was thinking about how the run away with me au Robin and Steve "should we get divorced?" conversation comes about:
Theyre about 23 and Robin comes home in tears after another break up. The reason: Robin had asked her girlfriend of 8 months, Lorraine to move in with her and steve. Lorraine assumes this means steve is moving out and when Robin clarifys that no Steve is staying, he's an important part of her life theyre married for chists sake. Well Lorraine doesnt take that well, says she isnt going to spend her life playing second fiddle to Steve.
This isnt the first time a relationship had ended for either of them because a partner hadnt been able to accept that Steve and Robin were a package deal. Things had been especially rough for them romantically in the first couple years of their marriage. It wasnt until a particularly awful screaming match between Robin, Steve and Steves first real boyfriend, that they were able to admit their relationship was incredibly codependent and unhealthy. Steves boyfriend had been upset when Steve had cancelled on him for the 3rd time in a row because of a Robin Emergency™️ and decided to confront Robin about it while Steve was in class. Things escalated quickly when Steve came home early from class to find them arguing and immediately took Robins side. The argument and Steves relationship ended with a slammed door, a lot of tears and a new rift in Robin and Steves relationship.
It took a lot of long conversations with Carina and Marjorie, Steve working through his toxic masculinity enough to go see a therapist - He and Robin made a deal that theyd both go talk to someone about, you know almost dieing "do you think me being fucked up by what happened at starcourt makes me weak steve?" "No of course not!" "Well then why would it make you weak?" - and a summer spent apart (Robin taking an internship in rome to study latin) for them to sit down and have a long conversation about boundaries and ground rules for how they would navigate their relationship as well as dating in the future.
Steve and Robin agreed to both take a break from dating while they worked through their respective traumas, and figured out how to navigate their relationship in a healthy way. Things werent easy, the both of them occasionally backsliding into unhealthy behaviors, more than a few nights where one of them spent the night with Carina and Marjorie in order to have space from eachother. But eventually they get their shit figured out and decide to brave the world of dating again. Steve and Robin both have their share of flings and short lived relationships but nothing so far seemed to stick. That is until Robin met Lorraine.
Lorraine was funny, sweet and a little bitchy. They had immediately clicked after being introduced by some mutual friends from school. Robin really thought things with Lorraine were going to work out. Steve and Lorraine had gotten on like a house on fire, she had slipped into Robin and Steves dynamic easily, trading jokes and light hearted jabs, cooking breakfast together on days Lorraine would stay at their apartment. Robin had fallen hard and fast, she thought she had finally found someone who accepted that her and Steve were a package deal. So 8 months in when Lorraines lease was ending Robin (with agreement from steve) asked Lorraine to move in. Things don't go to plan. Robins dreams of a future with lorraine are shattered. She goes home broken hearted.
After Robin has cried herself out, her and steve cuddled together on the couch Steve is the one to broach the topic. Robin immediately bursts back into tears before he calms her back down again saying he doesnt want a divorce but he also doesnt want to hold Robin back, doesnt want to be the reason she cant find happiness. Robin replys by saying if anyone is holding the other back its obviously her, steve gave up everything to protect her afterall. Steve calls bullshit -years of therapy and he can finally say that word without cringing- says he would do it all again in a heartbeat, that she doesn't owe him anything. They stay up all night talking about it, about what the both of them want from their futures. Neither can see a future without the other. they're platonic life partners, one day they'll find their someones who can accept that and if not well, they'll always have eachother.
Of course they do find their someones in the form of a charming if infuriating metal head and a brilliant, sweet, and badass reporter. Through trial and error the four of them figure out how to navigate life together. They all live happy ever after.
Robin and Steve celebrate 30 years of marriage with divorce papers. They'll always love eachother but now they dont need a marriage to keep eachother safe. They dont need a marriage to stay as platonic life partners. They have eachother and they have Eddie and Nancy. They have everything they need.
-
Lmk what you think! I'd love to have someone to scream with about this AU and bounce ideas off of :D

#i think steve and eddie find eachother infuriating in a good way and also a sexy way and i love that for them#i wrote this instead of sleeping#i'll actually turn this into a fleshed out fic i swear. i just happened to see a post talking about how a lot of fics make steve and robin#imcredibly codependent and started thinking about how i would handle that in my fic and decided to write out my ideas#i dont want it to come off as magically theyre perfect and okay. i think things would be messy in the beginning. and still a bit messy#even after bc theyre only human you know. i think having elder queers to talk to would be so important to them for helping them figure#things out you know#i think eddie and nancy wouldnt enter the picture until Steve and robin are 27/28#im also still trying to figure out relationship dynamics bc the fruity 4 are in a polycule and how i think that would be for them#no matter which way you look at it the relationship between the 4 of them is inherently queer and thats beautiful#i hesitate to have eddie and nancy marry eachother in turn bc yknow heteronormativity#i think people assume theyre together and that eddie and nancy never confirm or deny why people make that assumption#but idk if they ever get married idk ill have to think about it#if you read this far in my tags feel free to hop in my dms and scream with me about this au#id love to have someone to bounce ideas off of#run away with me au#platonic stobbin#robin buckley#steve harrington#steddie#ronance#long post

if bonefall’s hunch about the erins wanting to snipe all the fanon gay ships is true (which im inclined to believe it is) there reallyyyy is something disgusting about how theyll retcon any interaction that could be read as queer, while simultaneously being like. “creepy age gaps and incest is cute actually hehehe”
#i think the most blatant example was onestar in his SE#because like…. im sorry i dont have any good faith readings of what happens in that book#they retcon over anything he has with firestar for the sake of a het love triangle no one wanted#while EXPLICITLY having him say ‘’ohh… i know she was my student but shes so grown up now….. sexy….’’#and having this character take over the scenes he has with firestar#and then at the same exact time. they made breezeheather first cousins#and really really wanted you to know theyd retconned it so they were first cousins#its like. jesus christ. why do people think these books are queer positive again??????#in this single book they literally went ‘’age gaps and incest are cool but we fucking draw the line at homosexuality’’#like most of the time the incest is just carelessness and them not having a lore bible#but that time….. idk. it felt targeted. sometimes it feels like theyre just antagonizing the audience

i finished demon slayer back in like .. 2020? or whenever the manga finished, but i shld probably watch the anime
#kny spoilers#demon slayer spoilers#<- for tags#sanemi.. he looks so good! i love him.#i always liked rengoku n’ sanemi the most. but i was a BIG shinobu fan when she fought douma#she was so badass. always was but especially then. it made me super emotional too seeing her backstory n’ having inner monologue#at that time demon slayer was the only anime / manga i’d ever cried to lol. everything about the ending arcs made me sad.#SANEMI AND GENYA ESPECIALLY OH MY GOD !!!#i will never fucking get over how sad i was reading through genya’s death#i really loved gyomei too but i feel like he is a very forgettable character#eternal happiness forever at the fact sanemi didn’t die though. i was so fucking happy when he was alive in the end#i ... didn’t really ship obanai and mitsuri but their end was cute.#i was really happy when douma got killed too. he was sexy but my girl was better and sexier and always will be.#AND HIS STUPID LAST LINE ABT SEEING SHINOBU’S BEAUTY !!!!!!!! I WILL SEND HIM TO HELL MY DAMN SELF !!!!!#AWAY FROM HER !!!#n e ways ...... demon slayer infect my brain again ..;;

Yo anyone read Rayuela by Julio Cortázar?
#suddenly feeling that motive where Horacio is identical to his friend Traveler in everything except one crucial detail#Horacio is lonely but Traveler is not#and there is no obvious explanation as to why because they really are identical#i think Horacio called it a zone. some people are in the zone and some just aren't and this won't change#and while i don't believe in destiny or fate it surely is annoying that there aren't any clear answers what to do to stop being lonely#and paradoxically the book made me feel less lonely because it described my heart so well#the book alone made me feel like i belong in the world after all. i was maybe 17 when i read it#and it's a damn good book i highly recommend. the form alone. the motive of emigration and homecoming. the pov of the global south!#and the eye in asshole hihi that was important too. oh and the sexy time chapter wrote entirely in made-up words#diary post#vent post

once again poking at kassandra who i always come back to and facing the dilemma of what exactly i want this kassandra and agamemnon dynamic to be and also what i want the kassandra and apollo dynamic to be, which i've never gotten to much and am now playing with
#i feel like i frequently go hard with the explicitly awful and i find it more interesting i think in this one to go to the complicated#also i need to read more (non-weird or condemning) literature on bdsm. beloved friend orlando has given me some#very good academic articles and i have between the body and the flesh out (thank you chthonic-cassandra for that one)#but i am always listening for more!!!#any classical (sado)masochism is something i find interesting but you know what else this makes very easy#writing wildly sexy things that are not literally sex. i have to hand this one in to a normal professor in a non-creative-writing course#she speaks
