i got very emo & reminisced a bit so i logged into my old indie rp accounts & wanted to share these lost gems that i found :')
our first ever convo ! we really started things off talking about ms. kali uchis & i think that's so iconic of us đ€
i was reading some of our old threads too & i'm SHOCKED to see this thread because what ? romeo AND arizona ?! lmaooo not them both having history before meeting nova and renato i'm dead ...
next , i saw this ask & i wanna know why we never started any of these ships bc the potential !!! howeverrr , some of those muses are inactive so mayhaps we should do this again for our next pairing >:)
but okay going back to our messages , i found the birth of zara & luca !! #braincelltwins since the beginning fr because we had the same aisha x aron manip in mind & decided to create a ship based on it ⥠and in the same day we created trav & leti <333 bless these manips bc they're the reason our bbs are alive fr
speaking of pairings , i think our most iconic brotp to exist is TRUCA ... i love this entire post istg i re-read it & fell inlove with them all over again !! but of course , we also have our angsty moments :'( i totally forgot we made a thread of them fighting but omfg , the entire sasha arch had me yelling , screaming , crying , & throwing up !!! like look at this . i can't believe i wrote that LMFAO + the tags ?! yeah ... relatable .
i didn't want to spam too much links ( if i did there would at least be 20 ) so that's it for now ! we can reminisce more next year :') i hope you enjoyed this bday post ⥠happy birthday again loml & here's to celebrating more bdays + friendships with u .

hellos. dusting off my old sideblog to throw up this request bc that feels like a good idea. i've responded to a couple other searches, so i'm realistically not looking to take on too many more. little bit about me, i'm a 29 man, live in the central timezone [ i think technically it's cdt bc it's currently july... but don't quote me on that ], used to consider myself a reader reader but me and the books have been beefing these past few months so that isn't occurring as frequently. maybe because i've been giving rp more attention. i've been rping since at least 2009, but most of that has was on forums like proboards/invisionfree/jcink. i have only recently really been a discord rp girlie
really only looking for m/m plots at this time. mayhaps one day i will go back to doing hetero ships, but for the time being that's not really something that interests me. i don't have a robust collection of muses that i pull out of rotation, that's just never been how i rp... if you see a guy on my main blog [ blakegallo ] the odds are that i would use them as a face. because i cut my teeth on forums i do typically only use actors, musicians, and the occasional model as faces; i typically steer clear of people who social media people. it's really just a matter of personal preference. i am willing to consider a fandom based rp, but would prefer something that is more oc x oc.
as far as preferences go i do write in the third person past tense. i don't really have any interest in breaking the discord message character limit for replies. i would never do a one liner, but a nice well developed paragraph or two is usually good enough for me. i like there to be something to respond to and get a nice back and forth going. i've seen a lot in my decade plus in the rp community and i've definitely done responses that are what the girlies call novella length now and that's just not something i'm super invested in returning to at this time. i don't have any interest in rping in dms, i think that things are just more organized in a private server. i also prefer for new threads to be individual channels just because i find that easier to scroll back through than one general channel, but that's me. i am a tupperbox girlie... and so i do have a slight preference for using them. it's not a requirement by any means, i have more 1x1s that don't use them currently than do, but just throwing that out there. i also find that doing something mumu is just easier for me with the tupperbot, but we can make it work if you aren't for it.
as a sidenote, i also do really love text threads. in my time perusing the the tags i'm not sure if this common because so many of the requests i see are for the novella level girlies. but sometimes i might have time for some quick banter between our characters. i also find that characters texting leads to where a next thread should go. as a vibes girlie i just like letting the characters sort things out sometimes than us as muns going back and forth figuring out where the plot should take them next.
plotting for me tends to be more organic. i really don't like to get too far ahead of ourselves. to me it's like writing a romance novel, we know these characters are eventually going to get together, but the journey to that destination can be whatever we make for it. so the ups and downs and angst along the way is what makes it fun. obviously i'm all for tossing ideas back and forth about how we think we should handle something or where we should go next, but i don't really have any interest in outlining the whole journey and then just hitting the beats.
so please be 21+, 25+ honestly would be even better and like this if you're interested. i might read the occasional high fantasy book, but that's not a thing i am all that interested in. i might be up for something vaguely paranormal, but i'm really more a regular person writer. give me the lives and the rich and famous or mess happening in suburbia... i'll reach out from my main blog in tumblr dms and we can go from there if we think it could be a good fit.

for @dreamlingbingo
(who, thank goodness, said we can also use snippets to fill these prompts-which I am now doing. Prepare for spam. Maybe. This procrastinator has been procrastinating and now it's almost November and she's thinking... whoops. Anyway, here will follow some snippet prompt fills for different chapters in my as-yet unfinished fic, The Wizard and the Unicorn)
Square/Prompt: C3-Free Space (Creature: unicorn)
Title: The Wizard and the Unicorn
Rating: T
Ship(s): Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling
Warnings: minor character death
Additional Tags: The Last Unicorn au, unicorn Dream, wizard Hob, magic, quests, castles by the sea, falling in love, learning to regret, magical transformations
Summary: "You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints..." Are all the unicorns gone from the world? Is he the last? What happened to the others? To find the answers to his questions, Dream must leave the sanctuary of his forest and face the dangers of the mortal world. Along the way he will encounter friend and foe, witches and wizards, harpies and highwaymen, and a demonic bull guarding the way to a crumbling castle by the sea...
A snippet from Chapter One:
Thomas tightens his grip on his reins and his rouncey-sensing his nerves- paws at the ground. With his masterâs words ringing in his ears, he looks at the forest with new eyes and suddenly it does not seem so benevolent. An unnatural quiet has descended and he has the impression of many malignant eyes upon him. And still the black bird watches them from its log. âMayhap we should turn around, sir?â he says quietly. âHunt somewhere else?â
Sir William gives a sharp nod. âIndeed.âÂ
They turn their horses and urge them to a quick trot back the way they had come, both as eager as the other to be out from under the treeline. Yet at the very edge of the forest, Sir William draws rein and turns back.Â
âStay where you are, poor beast!â he calls. âThis is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green, and your friends protected. And good luck to you, for you are the last.â
And then they are away, the fading sound of hoofbeats leaving silence in its wake.
***
Long moments pass, and gradually normality returns to the glade. The chirps of chiffchaffs and wood warblers compete with the distant drumming of a greater spotted woodpecker; a red squirrel bounds across the ground, returning from foraging to feed her hungry kittens; legions of bees and butterflies drift and flutter amongst the carpet of wildflowers. All is peaceful.
Then from out of the shadows steps the unicorn.Â
He is a creature of rare magnificence, which of course he knows, for all unicorns are proud and vain. He is dark like the clear night sky is dark: black coat flecked with silver across his flanks and quarters, a reflection of the stars above. His mane is long and flowing, curling almost to his knees, though never knotting (it would not dare). He is tall and slender, with finely-feathered fetlocks, cloven hooves, and a tail that would put even the finest lion to shame. And his crowning glory, of course, is his magnificent spiraling horn which gleams like obsidian upon his noble brow. He is the lord of this forest, the guardian of its denizens, and his name is Dream. Â
Dream comes to a stop next to the fallen oak and looks down upon the bird perched thereon. She has clearly been waiting for him, for she instantly takes flight, only to alight upon his shoulder.
âDid you hear them, lord?â she asks excitedly. âThe humans? They were speaking of you!â
The unicorn turns his head to regard her out of one starlit eye. âI heard enough, Jessamy,â he says dismissively, before turning sharply on his haunches and making his way back into the shadows of the trees. He had been drawn out by the chatter of his charges regarding the human incursion into their realm, but he dislikes being so close to the forestâs borders. He feels Jessamy flare her wings for balance as he breaks into a swift trot, eager to return to his sanctuary deep within the woods, where his power is strongest and the laws of nature bend to his command.Â
âThey were saying that you are the last, lord!â Jessamy squawks. âCan it be so?â
âWhat would mortals know of the matter?â Dream tosses his head impatiently as he trots along. âJust because they have not seen any unicorns does not mean that they have all vanished. We know how to pass unseen in this world, and human eyes have ever been blind.â
âYes, lord,â Jessamy acknowledges. âBut now I think on it, we have not had the Lady Death bless our woods for many years, nor has the Lady Delirium come to dance with the butterflies⊠and when did you last hold counsel with the Lord Destiny?â
âThey are busy in their own realms,â Dream snorts. âAs I am here. The mortal world grows ever more dangerous; no doubt they do not seek to leave their domains unprotected to go visiting.â Â
He slows to a walk as he enters his sacred glade, deep in the heart of the forest. The oaks and ashes tower above him. The sunlight filtering through their canopies dapples the ground with green and golden light, and plays upon the clear waters of a deep, circular pool that sits in the very centre of the clearing. Here in the seat of his power, the world is exactly how Dream desires it to be. It is true that there are no real seasons here. Spring blossoms bloom alongside summer ripened fruits, and the days are gentle. The rain comes when he wishes it: to nourish the trees and replenish the streams, but the harshness of winter is kept at bay. Where in the wider forest his animals follow the natural rhythms of their lives- living and dying, hunter and hunted- here, around these sacred waters, all the creatures of Dreamâs domain meet in peace. Here there is no predator or prey, no fear or bloodshed. The lion and his mate lie side by side with the wolf and the deer; the stoat the rabbit; the owl and the shrew⊠and if the years have turned outside the forest, their passing has had no impact here. Â
Dream approaches the pool and gazes down at his reflection in the still water, thinking. In truth he is perturbed by the presence of humans in his forest. His woods have always been protected by his magic: hidden from mortal eyes, he has created and maintained a safe haven for the creatures under his care. Never before have men trespassed upon his land and threatened his subjects. He has not felt a waning of his power but perhaps something has shifted in the balance of the world� Dream makes a decision. He must call his siblings, ask them if they have experienced similar.
He lowers his head to the water, casting his thoughts out. The pool is a scrying place: here, Dream is able to touch his horn to the water and call out to his siblings. No matter the distance, they will hear and be able to answer. Though he uses it seldom, indeed, Dream cannot recall the last time he called upon his family this way, always has he had an answer. This time, there is ringing silence in his head.

Thoughts on Maegor i and Aenys i ?
not a ton of super developed thoughts, but i did ponder a bit on targaryen foundational myths here with the choice of these two very, very different personalities as brothers. i also have a maegor tag for some fun back-and-forth with the ole anons
generally-speaking i enjoy maegor as a character bc he is SO over-the-top and his actions are so tremendously villainous it goes into moustache-twirling territory for me & i can't take him seriously. nearly every paragraph in his story legit makes me want to make the sign of the holy cross on myself. i, a reddit atheist. (jk jk) his stans are very, very strange though. i'm wary of targnation people who say they like maegor; they manage to come up with the most headache-inducing takes.
that being said!!! i feel like there should be more maegor content?? like, there are so many interesting - and dark! - avenues fans could explore via headcanons and fics. for example, i kind of think maegor/rhaena has a lot of potential as the fandom's next problematic ship that could start wars and get people cancelled? off the page she does feel a little like the one who got away in that visenya's marriage proposal between maegor and rhaena gets rejected, but he still ends up marrying her. you could even say he goes out of his way to do it?? by killing her brother-husband and defying the Faith's dogma (yet again!!) to marry her?? he even names her daughter aerea as his heir??
i mean, he was relentless in trying to get a son of his own, so there wasn't really any need for him to do that. he went so long without a named heir and took three (!) additional wives for this very purpose, so why would he suddenly feel the need to name a little girl? i wonder if he didn't do it out of some sentiment, since that little girl was rhaena's specifically. if he were to die without children, why would he even care who succeeded him anyway? jaehaerys and alysanne were also alive, yet he chose aerea specifically.
also rhaena is said to have tried to kill him during their wedding night, so that sounds pretty spicy! yet maegor with the terrible temper tantrums is not mad at her and names her daughter his heir the next day? while disinheriting jaehaerys? crazy! but! when rhaena flees!! he orders the hightowers to behead rhaella as punishment! what a silly goofy guy hhhehe! idk, i just find it interesting.
maegor also seems to have a bit of a power struggle with alyssa velaryon as well, i'm surprised he didn't try to marry her too. there is something to this idea of maegor ridding himself of his male relatives so as to rule over / control the female members of his family. maegor as the most unlikely (and awful) president of the targaryen ladies fanclub - there's a concept to ruminate over
another one of maegor's marriages which i find under-discussed is his first one, with ceryse hightower. the high septon's niece. not the most well-matched couple, though? she's 23, he's 13. so why? an attempt at assimilation mayhaps? the hightowers trying to integrate the targaryens further into westerosi society? (the faith was opposed to his marriage to rhaena) in any case, they were married for 14 years before maegor got a second wife, yet we have no information on how they got along. ceryse always maintained she was maegor's rightful and only wife. the dynamic with alys and tyanna must have been insane.
to come back a little to aenys. the idea that this weakling king managed to have such a fruitful marriage and sire so many children (and was popular with the ladies too!) whereas maegor was an abject failure in that regard.... lends itself to some narrative irony. :))
#ask#anon#maegor the cruel#aenys i targaryen#opening up anon a bit in case there are other (sane) maegor scholars out there who want their voices heard#dreamfyre rhaena#ceryse hightower#maegor i targaryen#maena

okay i don't necessarily think the OG post should have been in the tag of the ship they're criticizing like tumblr etiquette 101 people but also
is this person legitimately ok or did seeing lando and carlos hanging out trigger some sort of breakdown for the "mctwink" people
"carlos and lando have only hung out twice outside of f1" you clearly don't know shit. they've hung out twice this season alone mayhaps, probably more than that.
"carlos and lando aren't friends, they've said multiple times they're just competitors" okay? so have lando and oscar? what point are you trying to make?
"carlos is only using lando for publicity to get another seat" this isn't a slight to lando, but WTF DO YOU MEAN, carlos just had a perfect weekend (much better than damaging his floor in quali and taking a trip through the grass in the race đ€) and you think he needs LANDO for publicity after that? bestie, sit down, you sound ridiculous. also going off about that pure electric ad as if lando's dad hasn't gotten half the paddock involved to advertise for him before lmao.
i also love the emphasis on "omg we only find out about mctwinks hanging out after the fact because oscar doesn't use lando for popularity" 99.9% of carlando hanging out away from the track has been confirmed by fans, not them, and if they have confirmed it, it was long after the fact.
can oscar fans grow the FUCK up please.
this is absolutely unhinged behaviour. and theyâre complaining about ME????
this person clearly knows fuck all about carlando and should just keep their mouth closed about things they canât comprehend. loser behaviour for real.

Fanfic writer interview
Thank you so, so much for the tags @errruvande and @lord-aldhelm I LOVE YOU for all the tag games ngl you rock <33
I'll have some trouble answering some of those but lets get to it, shall we? :D
My AO3
1. How many works do u have on AO3?
I have 6! And I hope there'll be a lot more soon xD I regret all the time I've wasted over the past years where I could've written more but I'll try not to linger too much on that (Keyword is try lol)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
75,546
3. Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes
1. Fire Made Flesh (39) 2. The Family Dinner (27) 3. Starbucks - A College Experience (18) 4. The Widows Bite Back (11) 5. What could and never should have been (7)
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! I am super bad at interactions so I am always anxious if I responded well but I do respond to every comment. Sometimes answers take some time if I have to process something for longer though. I love to hear from my readers and I love talking about my works and I believe if something has taken the time and effort to write something about them it's only fair to respond :)
5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Since I (so far) only have two finished fics (not counting the OS Collections), I'd say The Widows Bite Back. (Wanted to put a Question Mark there but no it's pretty angsty I'd say xD)
6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
BAHAHAHA. Okay. That's a harder one. Again, don't really have a any finished fics going into that direction. I believe I can give you a less angsty than the angstiest one so....The Family Dinner? lmao I need to write a happy Fluff fic (Mayhap about Hvigon *snickers and runs away*)
7. Do you write crossovers?
I. ADORE. CROSSOVERS. I have too many. My current obsession is Vikings x HotD. But I am also EXTREMELY interested in Vikings x TLK because I want AND NEED to see TLK!Alfred absolutely DEMOLISH the Ragnarssons. (Search your heart, you know it to be true) I have so many lying around. My HUMONGOUS AU is a Multi-Crossover of MCU x SPN x Good Omens x Norse Mythology x Tokyo Ghoul. BIGGEST Monster in the room with us ngl. Otherwise, the Starbucks Fic is a MCU x SPN x The Boys Crossover, then I had thoughts on a SPN x Witcher Crossover, and loads more, but I'll stop here... xD (it already got out of hand, but I'll stop here)
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not yet. But I am scared. (But I am always scared so yeah)
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I have started writing smut rather recently and am still very new to it, but hope I can finally strangle my inner priest (sry father). I so far only did Slash smut. I am sry if the joke is offensive, I cope with bad humour.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I am aware of. (Shamelessly copying that answer)
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I am aware of. (Shamelessly copying that answer, again)
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I did have a Whatsapp group for fic writing with a friend but we've never published it nor have we finished it. It was very, very on crack. It was an MCU x The Dome fic where the Villain was a German fitness coach who is kind of a meme in our country...let's say we had a great time xDD
13. What's your all-time favorite ship?
I have several. Most of them are made up by me. I am so unrelatable. BUT I therefore decided to give you two: One of mine own creations: Hvigon (Hvitserk x Aegon) (I really cannot not put it here, you'd know I'd be lying) One of the 'normal' ones: Stucky (Steve x Bucky) (I am a sucker for tragic gay couples what can I say) Fuck I have so many and cannot decide MOVING ON
14. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
My AU is so huge and I am afraid to even post the first part I've finished already so...yeah...chances are I just finish the Timeline and the Database and the Lorebook and post those as my legacy before I ever post OR EVEN FINISH that one ksksksks
15. What are your writing strengths?
I don't really feel I can be the judge of that, honestly, I'd let my readers be the judge of that. But since it's asked, I feel like I am good at writing dialogue. Snappy exchanges, double meanings, innuendos (occasionally, not always). But, yeah, I don't really know about that for sure.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Descriptions. When I write I practically have the scene playing in my head and see everything and focus only on whatever the focus actually is and later realize I have not lost one word about the place or about the characters' appearance xD
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I LOVE IT. When it makes sense. It's hard to make it make sense. I learn languages in my free time and at college and with foreign languages it is more usual to just understand gibberish if one doesn't speak them and if a character speaks in a different language they know they'd naturally understand it themselves so...yeah, I have a huge problem with keeping things realistic xD But I actually love it when it's done - and maybe I should loose some of my thoughts about it lol
18. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
For Fandoms - The Last Kingdom. I don't know why but I don't feel like I know the characters well enough to do so just yet... LotR - I have talked to @errruvande about one of my ideas and I really would like to write that ngl Vikings - I mean I am kinda writing for that one BUT (hear me out): A non-crossover fic (yeah, I know, completely unheard of). I have a few ideas (among them a complete rewrite starting from Season 4b) but I am trying to concentrate on my active projects rn xD And for ships - I have a lot of them I'd love to write fics for. Again, most of them from my own creation (Deaniel (Dean Winchester x Daniel (OC)), Starlight (Peter Quill x Balder), (Loki x CaterĂna), just to list a few). For 'normal' ships I feel like I want to put Bagginshield here...I don't know why. It's something in my stomach that makes me want to do so...maybe it's nostalgia...idk. There are safe others too but I cannot think of any rn
19. What's your favorite fic you've written?
I really like Fire Made Flesh. Although it's not exactly the Hvigon Fic I had in mind it has become it's very own thing, surprised me on several occasions and already gave me lots of opportunities and challenges to improve my writing and plotting skills! Let's see if that holds up until the end xD
Once more, thank you SO MUCH for the tag <33
Whoever sees this and wants to join in pls do <3

I'm really curious what would happen with Jack's debt if Margaret were to influence Davy. Maybe Jack should have a chat with her to explain what happened back then :U
thanks for sending this in Pirate because I am SO here for this!
and I am honestly SO curious myself. This is a great potential opportunity for Davy Jones' redemption arc progress goodies too!
tldr; Margaret likely would influence Davy... at least partially since this makes her a sort of neutral third party mediator? But probably in a way where Jack still has to pay up in some way, because Jones held up his end. Bargains with Jones arenât exactly escapable, which she surprisingly actually has some experience with this (see towards the end of the post). Plus Jack is a wiley one and has (extensive?) history with Jones so that makes things more interesting XD So Iâd love to hear your thoughts too!Â
~*~
okay... now for the extensive ramble...
[we interrupt this message for a brief moment where I fell down a rabbit hole of reading/analyzing The Price of Freedomâs ending with Jones & Jack and the Epilogue while I'm still in the middle of typing this ask (not mind you I havenât read much else of TPOF yet, but I digress) and I JUST -- OH GOSH I have so many questions now!! ABOUT JACK. ABOUT JONES. ABOUT THE BLACK PEARL.Â
[SPOILERS WARNING: POTC The Price of Freedom]
*SCREAMS*
WAIT. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT DAVY FREAKING JONES NOT ONLY RE-FLOATS THE WICKED WENCH/BLACK PEARL, HE FREAKING UPGRADES IT!?Â
HOW DID DAVY DO THIS?! DOES HE KNOW ALL ABOUT SHIPBUILDING HIMSELF?! SUMMON A CREW OF GHOST SHIP BUILDERS TO DO THEIR WORK OUT OF EXISTING SHIPWRECKS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR?!Â
I NEED to know!!
(also kudos Jack haha)Â
AND DAVY FREAKING JONES ADDS THE GORGEOUS BLACK PEARL FIGUREHEAD!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHO AND WHAT THAT FIGUREHEAD REPRESENTS AND WHERE/HOW DID DAVY GET IT AND WHO ORIGINALLY CARVED IT?!Â
*ahem* apologies for the caplocks. XD
Anyways...
...
...
Wow. Just... wow!
Okay so back to the plot!
Jones held up his end of the bargain (& quite impressively might I add), so... Jack canât exactly go off scott-free XDÂ But Margaret would also be strongly against Jack being sent to the Locker or devoured by the Kraken.
Idk what exactly that results in... Jack still serving some time (perhaps crewing aboard the Dutchman now won't be so bad with Margaret in the picture haha XD)?
Or mayhaps the Black Pearl (captained by Jack) joins Davy Jonesâ fleet?
Ultimately theoretically only that the oceanic judge can settle the penalty/different terms from the original bargain?
But yeah, like I mentioned earlier... Margaret shockingly knows personally what it means to hold a debt to Davy Jones. Worse, she knows said an unsettled debt to Jones can turn hereditar even after the debtorâs died.Â
*casually leaves this here too because I love this edit and lil' rp blurb that Megan and I wrote some time back*
âYer father owes me a heavy debt fer savinâ his ship from beinâ sunken down tah the dark abyss. And with him no longah in this world, whoâs tah pay his debt that he ran so far away from? Tell me, did he ever warn ye tah never sail the dreaded seas- uh?â
read more: https://anklesalltheway.tumblr.com/post/658298506174398464/v-curse-of-the-black-spot
Also, yes. This is how Margaret finally meets squid-faced Davy with his whole cursed appearance and infamous reputation. And Davyâs redemption arc first begins. :D
@scottishoctopus + @killmebutneverinsultme - tagging u both <3
#killmebutneverinsultme#scottishoctopus#v: the widow and the seawolf#;; headcanons#whatever the plot outcome#sign me UP

Haikyuu SakuAtsu fanfic recs: series edition ;)
ALRIGHT LOVES, BUCKLE UP! IM FORCING MYSELF TO FIND MOTIVATION LOL
As I was making that cursed SakuAtsu fanfic rec post (it really is cursed, but itâll get done eventually cause I do love the SakuAtsu too much, when tho? only god know LOL), I decided that if Iâm gonna finish it, imma have to break it up. SO thatâs why this is our lovely series edition post LOL. Originally, it WAS writers, tags, series, then single fics BUT I decided to scrap tags and even then I was like itâs too long..... And so, this post materialized LOL (mayhaps writers next? who knows anymore cause I certainly donât LOL). These are ONLY some of the series that I absolutely adore, and I say some because 1) the tag is literally like 4k fics long and I was on like page 20 something and I have SO many tabs open rn for SakuAtsu, so chances are I missed one or five LOL :â((((( and 2) my ao3 account hasnât been made yet (shouldâve done this a looooooong time ago) and so I donât have them all saved anywhere :( (these just sound like excuses LMFAO) So these are just the ones I saw and was like OOP I LOVE and then added LOL (and so theyâre in no particular order hehe). I also didnât *** any of them cause theyâre all so freakin good and even if you randomly chose one, you will not be disappointed.
As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for series and each individual fic before reading and make sure youâre taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3
I would also be more careful cause there are a lot more TW in these fics than other ships!
Terminal Curiosity by favspacetwink, moonlumie (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! this is one of the BEST series Iâve read for this ship and even though I tend not to read WIP, ITâS WORTH IT! Please read ALL the tags before going into any of the fics in this series because thereâs some real spicy stuff that may not be your cup of tea!
your highs and lows by astroeulogy (T,M,E) // this fic made me go on a roller coaster of feels from start to (tentative) finish :))) Itâs great and I love it AHHHHH The progression in their relationship is just so ajfkjsf, and I just adore how Atsumu just broke(?) during that first fic and the number of double takes he did, v relatable LOL.
Different Kinds of Dysfunctional by DeathBelle (T,E) // I LOVE the entrance to this fic and how it flowed so well. I think Atsumu is characterized really well throughout this series (I could totally see Atsumu bringing the same thing up over and over again LOL), and his development was done beautifully (You just want to make me say it.,,, Kinda, yeah.). I really freakin love this series so please go ahead and read it donât be shy hehehe.
we call everything on the ice, "love" by awkwardedgeworth (T) // I LOVE this fic omg,,, itâs in series, but itâs only two fics LOL... Anyway, Notte Stellata is one of my favorite SakuAtsu fics and I have reread it way TOO many times and the fanpage fic IS SO AMAZING (AND FUNNY ASF PLS). I really love ice skating AUâs too so this really made this âseriesâ all the more better <333333
know you better & related stories by theglitterati (T,M,E) // this is definitely one of the best relationship development series Iâve read, I love it so much! It really touches all the bases, and the progression is just SO good. It really is the fic version of the get along shirt, extended edition LOL.
flutterbird (a collection of sakuatsu one-shots) by wordstruck (T,M,E) // this series is such an easy pick up because itâs a bunch of one-shots (esp. if youâre not into smut cause there is some), BUT all of them are def worth a read. Personally, the third one, the sakusa kiyoomi listography, is my favorite (cause imma sucker for Sakusa), but thatâs just personal preference hehe :)
Atsumu + Sakusa + The National = ? by isaksara (syailendra) (T,M) // this is another stand alone fic series but with AUs :D I donât even know like most (ie. all) of the references (LMFAO), but I still read all of them LOL. Again, a personal favorite (without any references LOL) is the second one, famous angels (never come through england), itâs really funny and good and I just love it okay?
Better For Us Both by abrandnewheart (M) // (this was CP from my angst fic rec post LOL tho it is slightly edited cause istg my writing style changes every post LOL) THE MUG FIC. There is a sequel and when I saw it, it took me another week to read it cause I was like,,, am I ready to have my heart break again? No LOL. But the sequel is actually not as angst (but thereâs still angst), so if you want to be like semi-broken or whatever, just read the sequel LOL (also itâs Sakusa POV HEHE). Itâs so sad and it made me physically hurt every time someone even mentioned mugs afterwards (LOL why am I so dramatic but itâs the truth :///). Go ahead and hurt with me. You should read it even if you donât like angst because you know what they say, no pain no gain :â)
parallax error: angle of inclination by min_mintobe (T) // okay so technically this âisnât a seriesïżœïżœ, but it is two fic that are related, and what is that if not A SERIES :DDDDD Anyway, I really love this fic enough that I would find loopholes in my own dang post to recommend it LOL. I really love the service ace bet between Sakusa and Atsumu (I do think it is a superior headcannon (itâs hc right?)) but I also love whatâs left unsaid by both in each otherâs POVs hehe. If you want to go straight to Sakusaâs POV (cause their different POVs of the same fic), here it is parallax error: line of sight. You can read either first, but I recommend you read both eventually :)
to make any other mistake by honeymilktea (rosevtea) (T) // I, myself, am a very big fan of college Haikyuu (tho idk if it seems like that LOL), and this fic is very much up my alley hehe. I really like the idea that they are both TAâs and that Atsumu would totally bribe Sakusa into fake dating him as well as Sakusa wearing his brightest outfits to spite Atsumu.
How Do You Know? by awkwardedgeworth (T) // these fics are both so funny omg. The google search histories, the trial and error, and just everything in these two fics gives me so much dopamine LOL. Thereâs one POV for both end of the ship, though their tragedies are slightly different.
the human disaster chronicles by firtree (G,T) // is this another Atsumu gay panic fic? Yes, yes it is and I have absolutely no shame in recommending it hehe. I realllllllly like this fic and Atsumu having a break down cause Sakusa didnât follow his routine? It is the move. Anyway, pls read this series cause like the title suggests, it really is a disaster (but at least thereâs love right? LOL).
I Love You (Though it's Inadvisable) by Anubis_2701 (T) // okay the series itself is a wip (as in only one fic for now LOL), but the fic is so good, I couldnât leave it off :))))) First, I do love a good soulmate AU and although Iâm not a big fan on the body switching AUs, THIS one was SO good!!! It gets really cheesy and fluff at the end, but the beginning of this fic was just so immaculate, that weâre gonna ignore how much the ending made me want to stick my head into a hole (cause it was so FLUFF OMG).
The Germaphobe and the Asshole by metaandpotatoes (T,E) // so this series is also actually a WIP, but itâs okay I only read the first and the last one anyway cause theyâre basically stand aloneâs LOL. This series focuses a lot on Sakusaâs mysophobia, so if youâre not a fan of the hc, you should prolly pass hehe. TBH, my favorite is the third one, Avoidance Behavior, but thatâs mainly cause I really like SunaOsa and I love the brother bond in it!
you are the cause of my euphoria by SugarHighs (T) // ajsfljksadhjkdfk is my first thoughts while reading this series cause ATSUMU WOULD. He would start posting thirst trap pics (which really reminded me of Wonho) in order to prove he was the most good looking member of MSBY. Tho, we do love the clowning of one Sakusa Kiyoomi, as done in the third fic (PLEASE NUMBER 17 AND Cheezel). Even if you canât get yourself to read the other fics, read the third one, 5 Ways To Tell If The Person You're Dating Is The One, for the free serotonin boost plsplspls.
'basis' - noun. the underlying foundation for an idea or process. by auvelli (T) // like I said, college AU is a great AU, love it. This one, I do love indeed. We do stan having microwaves and mini fridges hehe. I support the ramen endeavors but oatmeal is gross, I said what I said. Anyway, I love the tags in the second fic, so even if you donât end up reading it, read the tags,,,, theyâre funny okay?
and i press you to the pages of my heart by volchitsae (T) // I LOVE THIS ONE, teehee again the college AU makes another appearance LOL. I REALLY love this writer, and this one is so funny but cute at the same time. Itâs another two POV fic, but youâll want to read this one in order hehe. Again, the ending is so FLUFF, that my head wanted to take a visit to the underground BUT ITS OKAY.
affection and acid reflux by volchitsae (T) // so the first fic is ~angst~ but IT GETS BETTER OKAY, happy endings. HAPPY ENDINGS. Anyway, thereâs some really cute Sakusa in this one (esp. when he talks to the boy at the village LOVE HIM) and a healthy amount of angst as well. I really like this fic and guess what it is? Say it with me, COLLEGE AU LOL.
how big the hourglass, how deep the sand by volchitsae (E) // did I just recommend the same writer three times in a row? Yup and I think that says something LOL (tbh I like some of their stand alone fics more tho LMFAO but that doesnât mean these series are bad nononono not at ALL (this sounded sarcastic but that was not the intention LOL)). This one is ~magical~ (v literally) and has some kinky stuff (holy water ftw) in it, so tread carefully :) I would make sure to read the tags before each one because it gets kinda steamy LOL.
^^ if I had to choose between these three, I liked and i press you to the pages of my heart the most just cause the plot was my type LOL. But theyâre all good hehe.
a study on you(th) and reverie by sieges (G,T) // this series is such a sad series :( The first two are the only SakuAtsu but the third one is an angst Osamu one so thereâs that LOL (and ofc the fourth one is KuniYama (is that their ship name idk)) But the first one is a moving on fic (which I liked) and the second is like basically a fake break up (which I liked more LOL) and both have some nice shares of angst and fluff so choose your battles wisely (or just read both LOL).
Burden of Blame by DeathBelle (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! ah yes, the mafia fic LOL. I REALLY LOVE THIS FIC. I felt so bad for Atsumu the entire fic and yes it is, ATSUMU BEST BOY time. Did I really just recommend this series AGAIN for the THIRD TIME in THREE SEPARATE POSTS? Apparently LMFAO I didnât even know TBH LOL. I just really like this one,,,,,, okay? But pls Atsumu just here for the ride man cause he BEST BOY. Anyway, if you want to see my other comments of this fic that I forgot I did links here :D (links and here are two separate links to two separate posts LOL).
OKAY so thatâs most of the series that I saw and was like gotta put this here LOL. And do you see how long this is (I know Iâm missing so many series I like istg when I find them later imma cry or just make another post LOL).... Can you imagine how long my actual fic fic one is LOL (iâm not kidding tho itâs so long I might just do fics with their actual summaries instead of adding my invalid, piss poor reviews :/). Ugh the more I think about it, the more I lose motivation to finish LMFAO, so imma go be no thoughts head empty, but I hope you enjoyed reading these series! I love SakuAtsu SO much, so thereâs lots more to come (is that good or bad idek). I know I was kinda lazy on the warnings (my bad), so I hope you all were attentive and made sure to check before reading! Also if there are any errors, send me a message/ask! PLS, theyâre v embarrassing LOL. (Also tell me if I forget to cap my Iâs bc I do that sometimes and I canât tell cause of the font LMFAO.) The way my posts get slightly more chaotic every time I post LOL.

Dear Whovever: [Kenma]
Synopsis: You and Kenma are both best friends and youtube gamers however you want to be more than just best friends so you decide to âman upâ one day and write a heart felt confession in a minecraft notebook before then putting it in Kenmaâs personal chest.
WC: 3K
TW: slight swearing :)
[Episode one]
[recording in 3⊠2⊠1⊠start!]Â
âHey gamers, Kodzuken here with Tulip-but-make-it-yellow! I've done a few Minecraft videos with Tulip before, but thought I'll start a new series that will be posted every Monday.â
âIt's called Minedays with Tulip and Kodzuâ
âI- no, Tulip. I'm not sure what weâre gonna call it. But you guys will know- obviously since it's the title of this video.â
You whine and pout into the monitor, âKodzu I think Minedays is a cute name.âÂ
Instead of replying Kenma rolls his eyes and hits you ingame. âShould we introduce the challenge and get it started?â
âYeah that's a good idea!âÂ
âWell, it's about eleven am right now, we have until eleven pm to build a Minecraft house from a random topic,â he pauses and moves to the side to point to a sectioned spinwheel, âon this bad boy,â whacks the spinner, âwe have eight different themes, in a sec Iâll spin it and whatever it lands on will be what we have to build.â
You let out a high pitched âhmm,â âI feel bad for Kuroo and Hinata, theyâre both going to have to edit twelve hours of footage down to 10 minutes!â
Kenma chuckles, âfifteen minutes actually.â
This time you roll your eyes. âHurry up and spin it you fool! I want to get buildingggâÂ
Smiling, Kenma moves back a bit and spins the wheel, after thirty seconds full of anticipation the wheel finally stops and its small arrow is pointing at- âYes! Cottage core theme!â you yell out while Kenma groans.Â
âReally? That's lame why couldn't we have âLuciferâs Bedroomâ?âÂ
You poke your tongue out to the monitor - which Kenma could see, after all, you are in a Discord call with him. âDon't be sad just because you're prancing in my turfâŠ. Looooooser!â
Kenma playfully glares towards you, âYouâre on! See you in twelve hours!â
Unfortunately, the difficulty of building a cottage core house in the woods - in survival mode, proved more difficult than planned.Â
âWe spawned in a desolate area huh? Barely any flowers!â you hear Kenma make a sound of agreement as you sink into your comfortable âgamerâ styled chair.Â
âDon't tell me you've given up? Just because you can't find any flowers?âÂ
You scowl at his cocky tone however your mood does a one-eighty when you suddenly get a good idea. âOk everyone! I know what I have to do! I'm going to restart in another place because this isnât working!â
Kenma makes a sound of surprise, âyou're restarting? It's been an hour already-â
âYeah and we have, like... eleven more.â Kenma sighs in response, âbetter get a move on.â
For the most part, the two of you kept quiet - not wanting to let the other know how well you were doing. However one look at your phone only to see that your twitter has blown up, you decide to take a short break, after all it has been four hours of you sitting on your ass playing Minecraft. Once you open Twitter you're met with a barrage of tags and mentions - all of which screaming âKenYnâ and âKodzutulip.â You felt heat rise to your face, you - yes you, Ln Yn with the online alias Tulip-but-make-it-yellow, has a big, fat, humongous crush on your best friend and fellow youtuber - Kenma, aka Kodzuken aka the cutest guy in the world. To make it worse - or better, you couldn't really tell, was that many of your viewers shipped you with him - as did his viewers.Â
You are of course, happy with this but you canât help but wonder if Kenma feels the same way, does he feel weirded out by all this shipping content? Does he find it uncomfortable? Does he find it unsettling to be shipped with his in-real-life best friend?
âHey Yn?â Kenma calls softly, âyou've been looking at your phone for the past ten minutes and your face looks sad.â
You instantly look up to meet Kenmaâs face and try to find the right words to say, âI⊠Iâm just kinda tired and eventually got distracted!! Sorry Kenken!â
Kenma visibly cringes at the old nickname - the one you gave him in primary school, âif you say so⊠better get your head in the game though - my mansion looks epic.â
Your eyes narrow, âmansion? The theme is cottage core!â Kenma quietly chuckles in response, âa mansion can still have a fairy aesthetic, you should know thatâ
You huff in faux annoyance as you place your phone away and âget your head in the gameâ just as he requested. âBe prepared to be crushed! I am the cottage core guardian!â
There are ten minutes left to yourâs and Kenmaâs excruciatingly long Minecraft challenge, your ass hurts from sitting on it for almost twelve straight hours - including bathroom breaks. When the buzzer rings the two of you step back from your respective buildings and make your way to the starting point - which had been marked by a stack of 20 or so dirt blocks.Â
âWell that was twelve hours of eye straining torture,â you say as you stretch your arms.Â
âYou're tired already?â
âKinda⊠I can't wait to go to sleep after this.â
âWeak, Iâm playing Battlefield as soon as this is over.â
You roll your eyes and scoff, âthis is why you look like a living corpse in the morningâŠâ
Kenma looks you dead in the eyes and with a completely serious face he says, âyeah but you love it.â
You choke on your spit at his boldness, ây-yeah I guess.âÂ
If you were being honest, you were not the best at reading people and it was dark in Kenmaâs gaming room, the only light coming from his three screen/monitor computer setup, but you think you see a light blush creep up to his cheeks. And you hate it, you hate when he says things that make your heart flutter, you hate it when he just sits there and the digital glow accentuates all of his delicate features, but what you hate most is yourself. You hate yourself because you have fallen in love with your best friend, you hate yourself because you know he doesn't like you back and you hate that you continuously give yourself a sense of false hope.Â
âYn⊠you want to stay up and game with me donât you? â
You sheepishly look to the side, âmayhaps.â
Kenma sighs looking at you with a soft face as he whispers âthen I wonât play Battlefield and Iâll go to bed and so will you, âkay?â
You smile tiredly at him, âsounds like a deal.â
âWe'll get back on at the same time tomorrow and weâll do the final part of this video - the reveal. Until then.â
You smile and wave at the camera âcya soon~â
[recording over]
After your call with Kenma ended you got ready for bed but for some reason, no matter how tired you were, you just couldn't fall asleep - your mind was screaming obscene ideas that you couldn't help but contemplate. At first it was just wishful thinking but then came a thought that refused to leave, âconfess.âÂ
It was a tempting thought, but how? Surely you couldn't just say âhey Kenma I've liked you since high school lets date!â yeah no, that was a horrible idea. Maybe if you confessed with some originality he would be more likely to accept but for now, you were going to do your best to go to sleep.
[Episode two]
[recording in 3⊠2⊠1⊠start!]Â
In the morning you woke up feeling refreshed and excited for the day to come, Kenma had texted you and asked if you were feeling up to recording the reveal from last night and episode two today and of course you said yes.Â
The video goes on without any troubles and soon you find yourself staring at the computer screen at eleven once again.Â
âRemember to like, subscribe and comment below on who you think won this round.â Kenmaâs voice is soothing - if you had to describe it you would say that it is silky like honey and smooth like dark chocolate; or maybe you would just say his voice is perfect. Kenma waves to the screen monitor, âhello? Earth to Yn! Are you dead or something? You look like a zombie.â
It takes a while to register, you werenât really paying attention to the words he said as you were more interested in the way he sounded. You sit up and smile into the camera, âI'm awake⊠thanks for caring!â
He scoffs and swivels in his chair a bit, âI don't care about you, you're just my idiot best friend and flatmate.â
You playfully narrow your eyes, âwell this idiot flatmate of yours helped you bake apple pie so you wouldnât starve to death!â
âHmmm, I guess. Well I'm going to head off. I'll see you later.â
You smile softly, âyeah I'll see you later, i'm just gonna stay on for a while.â
Kenma looks at you with an intrigued expression, âyou're going to stay up longer? Better not be in this world, that's cheating. Want me to stay up with you?â
You roll your eyes and giggle, âit's all good I want to fix my house up in the other world. I'll see you tomorrow.â
He sighs, âif you say so.â
[recording over]
Your chair rolls back as you stretch, âmaybe I should confess to him through a Minecraft journalâŠâ you jump up. âThats it! Thats a great way to confess! Its original and Kenma would appreciate itâŠ. If he accepts my feelings that isâŠâÂ
You groan and slump back down into the chair, âmaybe itâs best if I don't confess at all. No! I've wanted to do this for years! If he doesn't like me back it's all good! Maybe I just won't do this on a stream!â
You reach over to the bench and pull up your phone, âwho to call, mmm ok letâs call Alisa Iâm going to need some emotional support!â
âHey gamers, Kodzu here in another Minecraft live stream, today weâre just in mine and Ynâs regular world and i'm going to build a house - a cottage to be specific,â he pauses and looks at the comment section; âno Yn isn't here right now, no Yn won't be joining this video, no I didnt know shes streaming at the moment, yes my favourite food is apple pie, yes I have a calico cat, no Yn is not my significant other, yes we are just friends.â Kenma moves back and takes a breath, âwow you guys sure are interested in Yn huh? Maybe I should get them in more videos, might get more views that way,â he laughs a bit.
âLet's start off by heading to my base, I have the materials Iâll need there- oh uh what's this?â Kenma pauses as he stares at the foreign object, âI don't remember having a written book in my chest⊠maybe Yn went in here and put it in?â
Kenma stares at the book for a while before he opens it, only to be shocked. The comment section notices the blush on his face and continue to spam him with questions:
[kodzusbabe]: what's in that diary!!
[Kenmastan]: hahAAAHHA LOOK HEâS SO RED IN THE FACE
[piefacecutie]: ^^ omg you're so right @/Kenmastan hes so cute đ
[Kenmaxyn]: I hope it's a confession!
[ynhater]: @/Kenmaxyn from who? Cause I didn't do it and I'd be the only one for Kenma oppAr
[kennismaken]: I hope itâs Yn! Theyâd be such a cute couple
[applepudding]: umm? Kodzu! Why did he get up and leave??
[ynhater]: babe come back!
[Kenmaxyn]: OMG MAYBE IT WAS YN !!!!
After your late night call with Alisa, you decided it would be best to just do it and then ignore Kenma for the day - well, not ignore him per se, just simply decline all his Discord calls and Facetime calls so you could put off being rejected a little while longer. You woke up with a throbbing headache that you could only blame yourself for, after all you are the dumbass who stayed up until God knows when just to write a heartfelt confession. Eventually the angst of waiting for a message from Kenma overwhelmed you and here you are now; streaming Overwatch to get your mind off of a certain someone.
âAh no! Cant believe that stupid Hanzo got me! What a pain!â you frown at the screen and let out a sigh, âthe round is over⊠bummer. Well while we wait an eternity for the next round I guess I should answer some of your questions⊠oh? I didn't know Kenma was streaming, no Iâm not dating him⊠â you feel your heart sink as you read the next comment; âwhat do you mean Kenma ran away after reading a book? Was he unhappy?â
The next moments felt like a blur, your heart was heavy and you felt tears well up in your eyes and somehow you missed the sound of someone breaking into your apartment and then your bedroom. Within a second you feel someone wrap their arms around you from behind, your body tenses up but immediately relaxes when you recognise the perpetrators scent; sweet yet salty, like caramel toffee.
âKenma! W-what are you doing?â
âI like you too⊠I have for so long.â
Your eyes widen and it doesn't take too long for a smile to appear on your face, âI'm so glad to hear that.â
You feel him smile into your neck as his embrace tightens, âfinish up your livestream so we can talk please.âÂ
âYou don't need to tell me twice!â
It is eleven at night once again, but this time youâre not sitting alone in your gaming chair, instead you're sitting on Kenmaâs lap - in his gaming chair as he slowly runs his hands through your hair and softly kisses your neck.
âSo everyoneâs pretty much freaking out over us huh?â you hum in response, âweâve been officially together for what? Five hours?â
âCorrect you are.â
You smile and hold up your phone while you continue to cuddle into him, âsmile baby, I want the whole world to know that you're my player two.â
[Bonus - the love letter]
Dear Kenma,
This must be so strange - finding a journal in your chest.Â
I have wanted to tell you this for quite a while and I guess I have never found the write words to say; or the right way to for that matter,
But I love you
I have loved you since our first year at Nekoma
It's been a while hasnât it?
I'm sorry if this inconveniences you, makes you uncomfortable or makes you never want to see me again;Â
Just let me continue for a little while longer because I need to get this off of my mind.
I love your smile - especially the rare one where you really smile, where your eyes crinkle and your cheeks begin to hurtÂ
I love your voice - itâs smooth and silky, like honey being spread across bread
I love your scent - it reminds me of salted caramel, I can never get enoughÂ
I love your mind - the way it works to make me laugh, make me calm and all else
I love your lips - not necessarily in a sexual way, but more so in the way you talk and speak, they move softly and slowly in a way only your lips could move in.
I love your body - how although you're hunched most of the time you still possess a fine elegance in the way you move. How at times it reminds me of a graceful swan floating down a lake.Â
I love your hands - they are so pretty and dainty and soft, I want to hold them all day and all night
And most of all;
I love you
I love you in your entire
I could go ahead and pick the parts I love most and least but then you would no longer be you
I love you in your entire
Flaws and all
I know this may not be the most romantic, especially considering youâre reading this through Minecraft and I've never done this before but I had to let you know
LoveÂ
Yn
Taglist: [open] @ladyrenart
note: sooo this is another style that i tried and i have mixed feelings about it :) also if you canât tell,,, iâve never written a love letter before :â)

Kiss me, Heal me. 3
Pairing: Jungkook x Reader
Summary: When Jungkook gets injured just before an important game, he sets out to find his soulmate to heal him. In a world where soulmates can heal all kinds of illnesses by kissing, heâs desperate to find his, even if he doesnât know you yet. What happens if he does find you? Will you kiss a stranger who claims to be your soulmate?
WC: 3k+
Warnings: Smut but it's not who you think it is, Infidelity- but jk has a shitty gf n it's mutual lol, snarky oc at the end.
tags: idiots and enemies to lovers, a lil slowburn, a bit of angst, soulmate culture, smut in the future.
A/N: this is unedited as always so sowee đ
đ hope ya still like it tho! enjoy loves. :)
pls donât repost my fic anywhere, if i ever find out you stole my fic idea youâll regret it. thanks :)
You still couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. Though it was a week ago, and you've been avoiding Jungkook like he had the plague. Also, he went home awkwardly last week after that happened. You wondered if it meant something to him? To you? Of course it meant something to you, you were in-like with him. No matter how hard you tried to deny it, mayhaps you liked him. It really didn't help that you felt like heaven when he kissed you. It kinda makes you think if you were just meant to be healing soulmates and not romantic soulmates. And then there's his girlfriend too, they haven't broken up yet and what if she finds out you kissed his boyfriend? Would that make you a slut? Are you really a slut now? Ugh, maybe you are for Jungkook that is. But no. You should just forget about it, Jungkook doesn't seem like he'll leave his girlfriend for someone like you anyway. Even though you heard they were almost fighting everyday. Your best friend Charlie told you so, of course she asked how last week went and of course you cursed her for making Jungkook scheme with her against you.
But, you also told her about the kiss which she happily squealed when she found out, shipping you both. And then she proceeded to tell you about Jungkook's chaos in paradise. Why did he even kiss you? He's just making you overthink stuff, and it isn't even nighttime yet. Did he just want to help and heal you? Or was it something more? It doesn't matter you kept saying, but maybe you were just trying to convince yourself otherwise.
You went to the library to distract yourself and read some books, and of course like every cliché romance novel- (tho the romance part isn't really true) the person you were avoiding was there. Jungkook and his long curly hair that you hate. Why did he have to be so damn godlike all the time? He was in a casual polo shirt tucked in inside his pants, maybe he didn't have soccer practice today. And he looked so good you were trying not to get wet just staring at him. Maybe he noticed you were ogling him so he decided to stare at you back. But you were still embarrassed and you didn't know how to act around him now, so you went to the back aisle of the library. Not acknowledging that he was calling your name. He didn't let you go though, as he went after you to make your suffering even worse.
"Y/N, hey are you avoiding me?" he suddenly asked. You pretended to be busy reading the book you were holding, just so you didn't have to stare at his handsome face. "Oh. Hey Jungkook, of course I'm not. I'm just busy trying to catch up with school and stuff. Why'd you think so?" you replied indifferently. "You didn't listen to me when I called your name awhile ago, and I haven't seen you around campus so I thought maybe you were avoiding me. Aren't you really?" He said as he moved towards you, making you feel queasy.
"I really am not. I just didn't hear you awhile ago, and besides the whole campus is pretty big maybe we just didn't notice each other." you simply fibbed. "Okay, whatever you say. I just wanted to know how are you feeling btw? Are you feeling better now after we⊠kissed?" you can't believe his cocky ass would really bring up the kiss. Fck him. "I'm spectacular if you must know. And can we not bring that up ever again please? It doesn't matter anyway." you retorted sarcastically.
"Why not? Are you mad at me because I kissed you? Or are you mad because you loved it?" he said as he moved closer to you trapping you within the shelves. You couldn't breathe but it was also like you didn't care, you wanted him close to you even if you felt like dying inside too. When you finally looked at him in the eye, you weren't surprised that he was staring at you with that playful but concerned look you kinda liked. "Don't be so full of yourself, I only liked it because it healed me. There's no other reason." You tried to shove him off and get away, but he held unto you and placed his hands on your hips. "If that's true, then why can't you look at me more than a minute longer and why are you running away baby?" he whispered into your ear seductively. He then moved to look at your face, and then at your lips. Seemingly wanting to taste them again. And you wanted to taste his too, you remembered how you got almost addicted to his lips the first time you kissed. He leaned in closer and you suddenly remembered you didn't even answer his question yet. But you think you did now as you were kissing him. The kiss didn't last long as you remembered his girlfriend Chaeyoung. It was unfair to her and what if she caught you? You were almost making out with her boyfriend again. The thought was enough to make you pull away from Jungkook, leaving him a little confused.
"Why did you pull away? You can't lie to me, I know you liked kissing me too."
"Yes, maybe I did Jungkook. But it's wrong. You have a girlfriend Jungkook, what are you thinking? What about chaeyoung? Don't you care about what she'd feel?" you reasoned. "I know that, you don't have to remind me. But you're my soulmate Y/N, she's just my girlfriend. And I don't even know what I feel about her anymore, but when I kiss you I don't think about anything or anyone else."
"But we can't do this Jungkook. I can't allow you to cheat on her with me, and I can't allow you to use me while you figure out what you really feel about her. It isn't healthy for the both of us."
"I know baby, I'm sorry. I'm not using you to figure out my feelings for her or forget her, I don't know what it is yet but I feel so good when I'm with you. Can't we just forget about everything for a little while and just let it be?" he said as he cupped your cheeks with his hands. "I don't know Kook, I don't think I can forget that you're with someone else and fool around with you. If things aren't working out for the both of you, why don't you talk it out or break up?"
"It's not that easy to just talk it out with her⊠and I can't break up with herâŠ" (just yet) Jungkook wanted to add.
"Well what are you planning to do? And what do you want me to do Kook? I don't wanna be the other woman. You surely don't think we'll just mess around while you're still with her?"
"I can't let her go just yet Y/N. I need to think more. But I can't let you go too. You're my soulmate, pls don't give up on me. I just need time to figure things out." Jungkook said dejectedly. "I'll wait for you Kook, I just hope you can make the right decision. Also, It's not like I can avoid you forever. But, maybe it's best if we just stay friends for now. Like friends with no funny business or benefits." You said meaning it seriously but the last part jokingly. Trying to make the mood a little better.
"That's okay with me I guess. Well friend, promise you won't avoid me now?" He looked at you with hopeful eyes.
"Promise. Just don't try to do illegal things to me." You joked. "Okay! Hmm, so you wanna go eat icecream with me at my fave ice cream shop this time?"
"Are you paying for mine? If you are then who am I to say no."
đđ
"Babe, you feel so good inside me."
"Of course I do, I have the best pussy and you know that."
"Not to ruin the mood, but what about your boyfriend? What if he catches us here? I heard he's built, I'm not saying I'm scared but you know I hate confrontation." The guy said balls deep inside her. "What about him? He doesn't care about me, he's probably fucking someone else too. But I can't break up with him you know? We've gone through a lot, and even if he neglects me I still want & need him. And you can't blame me for wanting someone to fulfill my needs, when he doesnât anymore. Don't worry about him catching us, he never comes here unless I tell him to. Jungkook is so obedient, but a lousy boyfriend."
After you both finished your ice creams,( you learned his fave was the cookies and cream flavor,) Jungkook didn't want to go home yet. He suggested to go to the bowling alley at the mall, to teach you how to play bowling, because you mentioned you've never played it before.
"You have to hold it like this. Place your middle and ring finger in the top 2 holes and place your thumb into the bottom hole." he instructed, after a while you were almost getting the hang of it, though Jungkook was still the best because he'd made a 'turkey' already. You found out he loved going bowling with his dad, before they fought about his goals and dreams. It's amazing how athletic he is. He's an amazing soccer player, he's good at bowling, he's an exercise muscle pig, he can probably do anything if he puts his mind to it. Maybe the only thing he can't do is leave his girlfriend for you, or like you. But it's not time for your pity party right now.
After a taxing hell week, Jungkook invited you to have a movie marathon with him as a friend at his place, to relax after the horrid week and hangout.
"What movies are we watching this time Kook?" you asked sitting on his bed comfortably, holding a bag of chips to munch on later as you watched movies. "Hmm, I was thinking we could watch all the Iron man movies, and maybe spiderman after."
"Wow you really like Iron man huh?" you teased smirking a little. "Well yeah, only uncultured swines don't." he retorted.
"I really like how pepper stayed by his side through everything. She's a brilliant woman." Jungkook says sometime during the movie. "Yeah, I haven't really seen all the iron man movies till now but I can say they suit each other well. Pun unintended." you laughed at your silly thought, making Jungkook smile too.
You were focusing on the movie when you realized Jungkook's attention wasn't fully on the movie, instead it was at you. He was staring at you and he wasn't even being subtle about it. "Hey creep, why are you staring? You're not planning to murder me are you?" You joked. "I'm not a creep and I'm not planning to murder you, I was just admiring the view." You felt a blush forming in your cheeks at his words. Did he mean he was admiring you? That you were the view? The view isn't even that beautiful though, you thought insecure.
"Stop joking around Kook." you told him shrugging him off. "I'm not though, but I'll stop. Wouldn't want you falling for me even more." He cockily remarked. You knew he was joking but you couldn't help but get pissed a little by his joke. It was like he was trying to rile you up and for what? You couldn't do anything with him. You shouldn't, besides you already had an agreement. "As if Kook, keep dreaming."
"I'll keep dreaming of you then."
"Shut up or I'm really gonna get mad now."
"Okay, okay. I was just teasing babe don't be mad, I'm sorry."
"Let's just continue watching the movie okay?"
"Yeah, of course." he said awkwardly.
đ
You were out buying something at the store when you saw someone familiar passing by. Was that Chaeyoung? Jungkook's girlfriend? After taking the items you bought you followed her, as you were curious if Jungkook was with her at the mall too. But to your surprise she entered a resto, and the guy waiting for her wasn't Jungkook. It was some guy you didn't know but they looked kinda close if you must say. Thinking he was just a friend, you were about to go on your way when you saw at the corner of your eye that they were a little too close to be just friends. She fed him some food and they were sweet with each other. An ugly thought geared in your head. She wasn't cheating on Jungkook wasn't she? But if she were then it would be so unfair to him.
You had the sudden urge to ask her what she was doing when you realized it wasn't your place and your business to butt in. You also remembered that you kissed his boyfriend so you were conflicted. Isn't it hypocritical to hate her for possibly cheating on Jungkook, when Jungkook kinda did the same? Their relationship is kinda fucked up if you think about it, and you don't want to be a part of it. But how can you not be affected when you've already sinned with your soulmate. You decided to go home instead of snitching her to Jungkook, as you thought it wasn't the right time yet. Also, you needed more proof and to know the truth if she really was doing it.
You were back again at Jungkook's place to do a project for school, as the universe decided to make you partners for this class project. Maybe it's the soulmate effect, ew. You should stop being delulu, you thought. You weren't gonna lie and say you don't enjoy spending time with Jungkook though, He was always so adorable and kind. Except for times when his cockiness gets the best of him, he was enjoyable to be around with. "So, which part do you wanna do first?" you asked. "Hmm, maybe the easy one first?" you laughed a little, of course he'd choose the easy part to do. "Okay. You'll do the vocabulary part and I'll do the introduction summary for now." You stated. He agreed and you both proceeded to do the project, chatting occasionally to ask some questions about it. You just finished your tasks for today, when Jungkook decided to make a dad joke and it was actually a good one- or maybe you're just lame that's why you found it so funny that you had tears in the corner of your eyes from laughing so much. Someone decided to knock on his door interrupting your crack fiasco, and you remembered to get yourself together and stop giggling like a crackhead.
"Chaeyoung? Why are you here?" Jungkook said as soon as he opened his door, his girlfriend appearing in front of him. "Because you weren't answering your phone Kook, and now I see why." She retorted, looking at you accusingly. She had put weird extensions on her hair, making her look quite ratchet. But her outfit was kinda nice, it was slutty like her. "Well Y/N's here because we're doing a school project, it's not what you're thinking Chae."
"And what am I thinking Kook? Care to tell me how you know what's on my mind?" she said sarcastically. "I'm just saying the stupid things you're thinking aren't real, babe." Chaeyoung got angry at his statement. "Are you saying I'm stupid Jungkook? How dare you!" she screamed.
"I never said that, you're the one who said it. Are we really gonna fight right now again? Because I don't have the time or energy for it. So can we do it some other time? Not right now when Y/N's here." Instead of being ashamed, the things Jungkook said just seemed to rile up his girlfriend more. "And so fcking what if she's here Kook? I don't care about her, and you shouldn't too. Your business with her is done! You shouldn't be meeting up with her anymore, but look at you hoeing around behind my back." You wanted to defend Jungkook, but you remembered that you did kiss him and that made you feel a little guilty. Though, you agreed to be just friends right now. "I'm not hoeing around Chaeyoung! Stop accusing me of doing things I'm not doing. I care about Y/N because she's my soulmate, and you should respect her as a person if you can't respect us being connected in each other's lives." Jungkook retorted right back at her. "If you're not playing around then why do I feel like you are Kook? A woman's instincts are never wrong. You've been cold to me. And whenever we talk, we just fight. Is it really crazy for me to think that it's because you want something or someone new?" she cried crocodile tears.
"I'm sorry if you feel that way, but It's not wholly my fault. You always seem to find mistakes in me and accuse me of stupid shit I didn't do, that's why we're always fighting. You say I never communicate, but when I try to- you're the one who doesn't listen to me. I don't even know what to do with you anymore Chae. I don't know what to do with us." Jungkook sighed, quite exhausted with the whole conversation they're having. It was so awkward for you to witness them fighting, that you wanted to get out of the room already. So you told Jungkook you were leaving.
"Kook, I'm sorry to butt-in but maybe I should leave now? We're almost done with the project anyway." Jungkook was about to reply and escort you out, but his girlfriend chimed in. "You really only thought to leave now? When you could've done that ages ago? Come to think of it, it's your fault why we're fighting again. You're an annoying little slut." Jungkook was embarrassed and bummed at his girlfriend for insulting you like that, she was being paranoid and a bitch. You decided not to mind her and say anything, even though her bitch ass was really getting into your nerves. "Chaeyoung shut up!" he told her.
"No. Why should I shut up when it's true? It's her fcking fault for being such a flirty whore trying to steal you away from me! You're not even gonna deny it are you?" You couldn't help but answer her as you couldn't take the bullshit she was spouting anymore. "I don't usually respond to background noise and nonsense people, but since you wanted my attention so badly- I'm gonna tell you this. I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend, so please get out of your imagination now, It's not healthy." You retorted snarkily. You were about to get out of the door, but you couldn't help but tell her one last thing before you go,
"And before you call me a whore, make sure you're not one."
And you coolly went out of the door and walked away from them, leaving poor slutty Chaeyoung stunned.

Octonauts Game Night
(Since there are no requests, I wrote something for Octonauts!! Hope you all enjoy!)
(Warning; LOOOOONG)
Octonauts Game Night
It was a calm night in the octopod. Everyone was lounging around, nothing to do. Dashi went through her old photos while Captain Barnacles was watching the window, seeing fish and aquatic mammals flowing through the water in peace. He would typically be happy there was no trouble⊠but today felt oh so slow. Kwazii seemed to have agreed, letting out a long groan.
âThere has to be some sort of adventure, matey!â he told no one in particular. Everyone only made a noise in agreement, Shellington looking up from his book that he has read for the fifth time today, giving a nod.
âI wish there was some sort of creature to examine, maybe a new seaweed. Iâd even take a new type of rockâŠâ he huffed out, his bang fluttering with his head tilting backwards.
âNow, Octonauts,â the captain settled everyone down. âIâm sure there will be something.â
âWell, letâs hope so,â Kwazii whined. âIâll be ready for anything! Swashbucklinâ with the swordfish! Finding a new monster or beast!â
âThat are fictionalâŠâ Shellington could only mutter under his breath. Captain Barnacles could now tell things were going to get tenser and tenser until a fight breaks out, so he made a decision, sprouting out words.
âGame night!â he clapped his hands. This got everyoneâs attention, interests peeking. âYes! A game night sounds wonderfulâŠ!â
âI agree!â Peso beamed, happy itâll be something where no one would get hurt. But he had his first aid kit with him, just in case.
âAh, what shall we play then? Checkers?â Professor Inkling offered.
âCharades, perhaps!â Dashi stood up, putting her camera down.
âMaybe pictionary!â Shellington beamed.
âArrgh, lancing sounds like a suitable game!â Kwazii stood up on the table. Peso gulped and held his first aid kit close to his chest.
âM-maybe something less dangerousâŠ?â he asked. âLike⊠hide and seek!â
âAh, Iâll find yaâll in under five minutes if we play that,â Tweak bragged a little. âI should suggest, tag, though! Get the blood pumpinâ!â The mention of blood made Peso turn pale. Tunip chirped an option, all heads turning to Shellington for a translation.
âI donât think we can play tug of war, Tunip,â he giggled. âWe havenât a strong enough rope.â
Everyone began to clamour about their opinion on what to play, the polar bear scratching his chin in thought, then his eyes lit up.
âAh, everyone! Idea!â he shouted. His deep voice roared through their own voices, everyone turning to face him. âDeep Sea Adventure!â With those three words, everyoneâs eyes lit up and all agreed. The vegimals went to make snacks with Shellingtonâs help, Kwazii and Captain Barnacles bringing out a large table from storage. Peso brought in a mat covered in squares, having the design of islands and villages and caves. Tweak and Dashi brought in the chairs, Mr. Inkling getting the rule boards and books from his library.
Deep Sea Adventure was a game played by the Octonauts many times. It was like a roleplaying game where they make their characters and their actions are depended on by two dice.
âHas anyone seen the dice?â Dashi wondered. Looking under the table. Everyone began to search around, Shellington even searching his own satchel, just in case. This gave Kwazii a gasp as he ran to his chest in his room. He dug through some old treasure maps, little gold doubloons, and his great grandfatherâs Calico Jackâs telescope and eventually fished out some dice. He slid down the octotube and presented them as if they were some sort of rubies.
âI got some, me hearties!â he proclaimed. The vegimals cheered, Kwazii seeing a display of fish biscuits, five varieties of kelp cakes, muffins, a bowl of popcorn, another of peanuts, and mugs of cocoa scattered on the surface. âWell, this looks like a night fit for a pirate on his night off!â
âWell letâs start, shall we?â the bear clapped his hands again. Weâll need to split into teams of two.â
Shellington and Professor Inkling beamed at each other, high fiving each other with tentacle and paw. Barnacles nodded at them. âShellington and Inkling are one. Kwazii, want to be on my team?â
ââTis be an honor!!â Kwazii nodded.
âI call Dashi on my team!â Tweak raised her hand, Dashi laughing, them both holding hands.
âGirl power!â Dashi cheered.
âRight on that!â
âAnd then Peso and Tunip?â Barnacles asked them. They both nodded, Tunip trilling with excitement.
âDo the other vegimals want to play?â Shellington asked the little creature. Turnip chirped and shook his head. âAh, too busy gardening? Well, weâll at least save them some snacks.â
âAnd the loot once the captain and I win it!!â Kwazii laughed.
âOhoho, you want to bet, do you?â Inkling playfully jeered.
âDonât think you want to take that bet, Kwazii,â Shellington giggled, taking his seat. Inkling took his seat next to him, them both already whispering.
âWell, letâs do our best and have fun, Tunip!â Peso cheered on his own team. Tunip cheered in agreement, taking a seat and Peso plopping himself next to him. Captain Barnacles sat at the front, Kwazii taking the chair next to him. Dashi and Tweak sat together as well and soon, everyone was quiet. Barnacles took out a cardboard folded five times mat and looked at it, looking at a scenario. He rolled the dice, counted it, and then nodded.
âOkay! Hereâs the scenario,â he started. âInkling and Shellington are holding the treasure.â Everyone turned their heads to them, the two laughing hysterically. âItâs up to us to get it while they can set up any traps or travel to wherever they want. But, it all depends on the number of dice rolled. 2 means failure, 3 going on to be a fail, but tried attempt, and so on. Twelve means they get automatic privileges to whatever they wish to do.â
âAaargh, last time, didnât they bamboozle us with a ship full of monkeysâŠ!?â Kwazii groaned.
âWell, it was funny, so Iâd say it was worth it,â Inkling added his input, making Shellington laugh more.
âR-remember when you wanted to fight but rolled a threeâŠ!?â he wheezed out. Kwaziiâs cheeks and ears flushed with embarrassment. âYou fell into the wahahahater hahahahaha!!!â
âM-mayhaps, matey!â He quickly gained composure. âJust wait, though! Soon, you will be fighting the monkeys!â This sent everyone into fits of laughter, the captain smiling. This was a wonderful sight, seeing his crew laugh and be happy. It truly warmed his heart. He looked at the mat and looked at Dashi and Tweak.
âIf you two can answer a question about marine biology, then you will go first. But if you answer incorrectly, then someone else gets the chance to steal.â
âShoot!â Dashi beamed. Tweak seemed as excitable as she was.
âWhat male aquatic animal has babies?â he asked. Shellington almost blurted out the answer, but covered his mouth. Of course, the marine biologist was close to bursting with knowledge.
âUm⊠I think⊠thatâs a seahorse, right?â Dashi asked.
âCorrect!â he nodded. âEveryone gather your pieces and Dashi and Tweak may.. Well⊠whatâs your team name?â
âGirl Power!!â they both answered with glee. He chuckled and looked at Kwazii.
âWe should call ourselves the Swashbuckling Pirates of Red Beardâs Cursed Ship of Treasures and Glory!â
â... maybe just Pirates of Red Beard will be suitable,â he chuckled, his attention focusing on Peso and Tunip.
âWeâll be the Small but Fierce!â Peso answered for them both.
âYa got that right, matey!â Kwazii approved of their name. Peso giggled in response, Barnacles looking at Shellington and Inkling. They both whispered and then looked at the captain.
âWe were going to say The Winners, but perhaps Marine Match will suit better!â Inkling proposed.
âOkay! We have team names! Get a piece everyone and letâs start!â
Girl Power took a pink squid piece, Pirateâs of Red Beard taking a red Seahorse piece, Small but Fierce taking a blue shark and the Marine Match grabbing a green Sea Turtle piece. Dashi and Tweak both talked as everyone set up their pieces. Inkling put their piece at the end of the mat where the X is since they had the treasure. The goal of the same was to defeat everyone on the board. The others were supposed to take the treasure.
âOkay, we want to moveâŠ!â Dashi said. She took the dice and rolled it, seeing seven. Tweak moved their piece seven squares. The dice also allowed movement, but you could only move and not act in the same turn.
âOh, our turn, Tunip!â Peso smiled. âWeâll be safe and move.â Tunip took the dice in his little hands and tossed them down, getting a twelve. âGood roll, Tunip!!â The creature cheered as Peso moved their piece. Barnacles looked at Kwazii, who was the KING of Deep Sea Adventures.
âCaptain, I say we launch an attack to the Marine Match!â he proudly said. Barnacles chuckled and nodded, grabbing the dice and tossing them within his paws.
âAnd how do we attack?â he asked. But, out of sheer luck, he knew the answer. âCanons?â
âH-how did you know!?â he gasped.
âHeh, captain knows his crew,â he winked, tossing the dice down.
âAlso, you use the same move as the first move every time,â Dashi giggled.
âI-I do not!â
âFifteen,â Shellington pointed out, holding up a piece paper, where at the top it said âTimes when Kwazii attacked a team with a canon as his first turn.â and underneath were fifteen talleymarks.
âShiver me whiskers, that canât be right!â Kwazii lifted his eyepatch in shock.
â... oh youâre right,â Shellington smiled, adding another talleymark. âSixteen. Thank you for pointing that out..!â
The cat grumbled and looked at the dice as they chose a side. It rolled to⊠two.
âCanon backfires and hits the Red Beards. They deal five damage points.â
âWhatâŠ!? I call treason!â Everyone laughed, even the captain and eventually, Kwazii joined along. Shellington took the dice and looked at Inkling, them both whispering.
âThey are always the same team,â Dashi noticed.
âWell, they are the brains,â Peso smiled. âAnd they are very good at the game.â
âOh, not this time, mateys!â
âWe choose to make a barricade around our area,â Shellington smiled. âWith concrete and bricks.â
Professor Inkling rolled the dice, rolling it to a nine.
âYou both build a structurally sound barricade, but it will need nine hits to be taken down,â Captain announced. They both nodded and high fived each other.
â... aye⊠they be smartâŠâ Kwazii scoffed. âWeâll need nine canon turns now!â
âUm, Kwazii, I think it would be smart, and safe, to use the rest of our turns not trying to kill ourselves,â Barny laughed.
âNo risk, no win!â
â... big risk, big lose,â the captain corrected him. Kwazii groaned as Tweak rolled the dice.
âWhat should we do, Dashi?â she asked.
âHmm⊠letâs go to the village by boat,â she smiled. âSo letâs keep moving.â
Tweak tossed down the dice, getting eight and moving eight spaces. Just five more until the village. Kwazii took the dice, Barnacles speaking out before Kwazii could say canons again.
âU-um, how about we move, Kwazii?â he suggested.
âOoouggh, fine, but we will get this booty if itâs the last thing I doâŠ!â
He rolled, getting ten. They moved ten spaces, Peso rolling the dice. Tunip chirped, Peso glancing at Shellington.
âHe wishes to attack us using a ram,â he answered, to which Tunip spoke to Shellington. âHeh, itâs alright, Tunip, no need to apologize. Itâs just a game.â
With that permission, Peso tossed down the dice, getting ten.
âOohâŠ!â Captain beamed. You ram into their barricade with success! Roll again to see how much you hit.â
Peso let Tunip roll, him getting three.
âThree hits, barricade is now down to six hits awayâŠ!â
âHa! Now we only need SIX canons!â Kwazii laughed heartily.
âWhat is with ya and canons?â Tweak questioned. Shellington took the dice, the duo both whispering again and then nodded.
âHeh, sorry, Tunip and Peso, but we choose to attack,â Shellington spoke.
âWith canons,â Inkling finished.
âMy signature move!!â Kwazii yelled out. The otter tossed the dice down, rolling a twelve. Tunip fainted, Peso gasping.
âHits are directed and do twice the damage. Roll again.â
Each team was given twenty health points, so it was a big risk. Inkling took the dice and rolled it, the sides each landing three. âSix, so Team Small but Fierce take twelve damage.â Tunip had just woken up to the news, fainting again.
âGrrrgh, pure luck, I say!â Kwazii made an excuse. Shellington giggled and tossed the dice to the girls.
âWell⊠weâll get revenge, Kwazii!â Tweak laughed. âWhat do ya say, Dash?â
âI agree! We attack with clubs!â
âHaha, get them!â Kwazii cheered. However, the dice rolled to a four.
âYou attempted to attack with clubs, but they fall in the water.â
â... well we tried,â Tweak shrugging, leaning back and munching on a carrot. Kwazii sighed, hearing Shellingtonâs giggle again. He sneered and took the dice.
âI attack with tickles!!â
âTi-what?â Captain Barnacles blinked. Kwazii rolled the dice, not caring what it landed on and pounced on Shellington, squeezing his sides. The otter erupted in bubbly laughter, kicking his legs.
âK-Kwahahahzeeheehee hahahaha!! Staahaahahap itâs nahahaahaaht part hahahahahaaha!! Of the gaahahahahaame!!â
âIt is now, me hearty!!â the playful cat moved his paws up to his ribs, Shellington squealing and trying to push away Kwazii.
âNooohahahaha pleeheeheease!!! Hahahaahaha!!! C-cahaahanât breheeheeheeheeathe!!!! Caahahahap hehehehelp!!â
Captain Barnacles laughed and went over, pulling Kwazii up from Shellington, who was lifted by Professor Inkling. He let out little giggles as Kwazii looked mighty proud of himself, sitting back down.
â... well that was our turn,â Barnacles chuckled.
âAre you okay, Shellington?â Peso wondered.
âY-yeahahahâŠâ he giggled out. Peso nodded, happy his friend was okay, and rolled the dice in his flippers.
âTunip, I say we move closer,â he told the vegimal. Tunip nodded in agreement. Peso tossed the dice down, getting twelve again. âFlappity Flippers! Another twelve!â
âYa got the lucky streak, me hearties!â Kwazii pumped his fist. They moved twelve spaces, close to a cave.
Inkling took the dice and whispered to Shellington, then he looked at his captain.
âCaptain, we choose to fix our barricade.â Barnacles nodded as Mr. Inkling rolled a nine, the barricade now fifteen points strong. The polar bear took the dice and rolled it, deciding to move, Kwazii agreeing. So far, it seemed Peso was getting closer and closer to the treasure. The girls moved to the village and rolled to get items, which they succeeded.
âWhat did we getâŠ!?â Dashi eagerly asked.
âTwo apples, three suits of armor, an unknown box, and you both gained any health you lost.â
The two high fived with both paws, whooping. Peso rolled, looking at Tunip⊠and gulped.
âI want to explore the cave,â he said. âOr⊠we would.â
âYou sure?â Captain Barnacles wondered. They both nodded, Peso rolling the dice down, it going to four.
âHmm⊠you tried to explore, but it was too dark for you, so you evade the cave.â
Peso let out a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed. Although, he knew what he was going to do next turn. Shellington took the dice, whispering to Inkling again, however, this whispering session seemed to be taking longer.
âI wonder what theyâre planning,â Captain Barnacles wondered.
âIâll tickle him again if he takes longer,â Kwazii promised. A few minutes later, they nodded and looked at the captain.
âWe choose to stay.â
âWh-all of that for staying!?â Kwazii gawked. Since they didnât attack or move, they didnât need to roll, but Shellington didnât give the dice back.
âBut we do wish to send supplies to heal Small but Fierce,â he smiled. Peso gasped with a smile, Tunip cheering. Captain Barnacles smiled fondly as Shellington rolled the dice, getting a nine.
âThey get nine points in healthâŠ!â he announced.
âWow⊠thank you, Shellington!â Peso smiled. Shellington nodded back.
Kwazii took the dice and looked at their piece and at the mat with the x mark. He tapped his chin.
â... captain, I say we attack,â he said.
âAgain?â Barnacles wondered.
âAh, but this time! I got a plan!â he beamed. âI want to attack.. With monkeys!!!!â With that, he threw the dice down, them tumbling around⊠and landing on twelve. Shellington and Inkling gasped, looking up as Barnacles was even surprised. He read out the situation.
â... well, we send out a boat of monkeys. They take down the barricade Marine Match make.â
âDratâŠ!â Inkling groaned.
Tweak quickly took the dice and rolled.
âWe choose to attack with monkeys!!â she shouted. It rolled to a nine, Shellington and Inkling looking at each other.
âThe Marine Match take nine damage!â
âWe choose to attack with monkeys!â Peso also cheered.
âOh, this seems hardly fair nowâŠ!â Shellington stuttered. Peso rolled the dice and got a twelve. Barnacles looked at the open mouthed otter and dumbo octopus, him shrugging.
âMarine Match are defeated.â
âNoooo!â Shellington yelled out. âAh well⊠good team effort, Inkling!â
âAnd to you, ShellingtonâŠ!â Professor Inkling shook his paw, wrapping his tentacle around it.
âThe treasure is up for grabsâŠ!â Barnacles proclaimed. "Everyone roll, except Shellington and Inkling.â They both shrugged, eating after all of that excitement. âWhoever gets the highest number⊠gets the treasure.â
âMe first!!!â Kwazii yelled, grabbing the cubes and tossing them haphazardly. They landed on five. âHaha, beat that, me hearties!â
Tweak took the challenge and rolled it, but got four. Barnacles rolled after, getting seven and Dashi getting six. Peso took the dice⊠but gave it to Tunip.
âI choose Tunip to roll for both of usâŠ!â he smiled. Tunip chirped excitedly and rolled. They all watched the dice flail on its corners and sides⊠and land both sixes. Peso screamed in delight as Barnacles proudly announced.
âTeam Small but Fierce wins the game!!!â
They all cheered and clapped, Barnacles chuckling and looking at the time. âOh wowâŠ! Itâs near midnight!â
âIt⊠it is?â Shellington checked before following with a yawn.
âWell, time passes by with funâŠ!â Tweak chuckled, stretching.
âWell, letâs clean up and then letâs head to bed. Congratulations, Peso and TunipâŠ!â
And so, everyone began to clean up, putting away the table and mats, Shellington and Tunip offering the rest of the snacks to the vegimals and everyone went to their rooms, but not before Kwazii turned to Barnacles.
âWeâll get âem next time, cap!â he pumped his fist. The captain chuckled with a yawn.
âPerhaps, Kwazii, perhaps,â he smiled. âBut⊠maybe less canons and tickling, hm?â
âIâll think about it.â
He left, the captain laughing and turning off the lights and heading to bed. There may have been no critters to save⊠but they sure did have an adventure.

I Want - Chapter 1
Hereâs the first chapter to my completed series, âI Wantâ. This was something that I had the inspiration to write last year and it did not let me go. I read so many stories from incredible authors in ao3 and I had the itch to had my own story into the many that were written about a special historian/scholar/leader.
I mentioned it in one of my posts that this series is currently completed on ao3 and if you liked this, donât hesitate to hop over there to give it a read! It would mean the world to me if some people read this on Tumblr too as I feel that it gives people the privacy to put their thoughts and opinions privately, as I read in a post just very recently.
I am very new to posting anything on Tumblr, so I deeply apologize for making mistakes, either with the story or on the tags; Iâm total baby with this, but I will do my best to learn!
Without further ado, below are the tags and below that is the actual story! Please enjoy! :D
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Series Summary: When was the last time that anyone thought of their wants? What happens when they realize them after it was almost too late?
A different approach to when the Warrior of Darkness and Crystal Exarch return to the Crystarium after the battle with the Ascian. Emotions run high from several days of healing and only having themselves to sort them out.
Chapter Summary: The battle has been won and now it is time to go home. The Scions of the Seventh Dawn, the Warrior of Darkness, Aâviloh Entialpoh, and the Crystal Exarch prepare for the trek out back to the Crystarium. However, the Warrior asks something of the Exarch before they part, both unwilling to leave yet.
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV
Ship: Gâraha Tia/Crystal Exarch x OC
Rating: Mature, SFW,
Writing Tags: Some depictions of medical procedures (not medically trained, so some facts will be medically wrong, but itâs all for the story), Slow Burn, Angst, Hurt, Healing, Comfort, Acceptance, Fluff.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
âGâraha⊠Hold on just a bit more, pleaseâŠ.â
âWe have made it this far⊠It would be⊠A disgrace to my people should their leader fall nowâŠâ
â...A disgrace⊠That is certainly one way to put it⊠It is not. You have⊠gone through much these last few days. We all have.â
Whether Gâraha wanted to acknowledge those words, or simply make it seem like he did not hear from how quietly the Warrior spoke them, the brunette did not know. The little that he did at the moment was enough to keep him moving. Just like how Ardbert asked of him not too long ago.
He had defeated Hades.
The Crystal Exarch had been saved.
All of the Scions were alive.
And they were all on their way out of The Tempest.
Something curious made the Warrior almost falter: when having spoken the Exarchâs true name, he had shuddered, also losing momentum. His stance had closed, almost as if wanting to shield himself. Once he had noticed how far he was from the Warrior, he did his best to catch up, a slight limp in his step. The Warrior kept his attention elsewhere but took note of that strange happening, instead raising his head to where the surface could be seen. They only needed to climb to the water's edge and then, only then, could they be swept by the waters of Kholusia. At least, that was the theory.
âFollow my lead, Ryne. Aâviloh, I expect that you will be the last to climb?â
âYes. I will give everyone a boost. Please, keep the Exarch close to you.â
âOf course.â
âI⊠apologize for the burden--â
âWe will have none of that, Exarch. Alisaie and I will be right behind you. You have been away from the Tower for too long. We will give you as much healing as we are able, we only ask that you keep moving forward.â
âI trust that you will keep your eyes where your hands lay, Urianger.â
âOf course, my lady.â
Aâviloh couldnât help the slight smile from appearing on his face at hearing his friends--his family--conversing normally. As if they did not just fell one akin to a god, the very same Ascian that was hellbent on making the Eighth Umbral Calamity happen in the Source. He knew that it wasnât just for show. He could feel their nervous and grateful energy at being able to see the sky another day. It followed Alphinaud when his trembling hands grasped the strong rocks above him, lead Alisaie when she would ask the Exarch if he needed more healing magic, and stayed with Yâshtola when she kept her eyes on the calm waters looming closer. Ryne would glance down occasionally to see that everyone was clinging on with all of their might, and also to guide the Exarchâs hands to the right places. Thancred did not look their way once.
Once the Warrior saw Uriangerâs hand reach the surface, he began his climb. His eyes never left the tower of rock in front of him as his mind wandered for a brief moment.
âI musnt forget to write all of this in my journalâŠâ
=====
His wounds were enough to keep him awake as he swam to the surface. He found Alphinaudâs face firmly planted on the wet sands of the beach, Alisaie shaking him vigorously.
âAlphinaud! For God's sakesâŠâ
Brown eyes turned, next seeing Thancred patting the Exarchâs back as the latter tried to catch his breath. Ryne was instantly at the leaderâs side, hand on his bloodied forearm as she quietly spoke to him. Yâshtola was at a distance, doing her best to wring out the water from her dress as it clung to her. Milky eyes locked with Aâvilohâs, and judging from her expression, they found her target. She returned to her task of unsticking her dress from her skin, a faint smile on her pale lips.
Aâviloh nodded to each head and frowned when he saw that they were one short. Honey and caramel eyes surveyed the land in front of him until they found their goal and slowly swam to the dead-fished Astrologian.
âAâviloh! There you are! Oh, and Urianger too! Is⊠Is he breathingâŠ?â
Once Aâviloh had gotten the weary Elezen to his feet did the Oracle of Light get an answer.
âT⊠Tâwould seem that⊠those lessons⊠mayhap would haveâŠâ
âHe will be fine, Ryne,â Aâviloh reassured. âHow do you all fareâŠ?â he asked, keeping Urianger steady. Strong hands gently patted the Elezenâs back until his breathing had gone steady. Tired amber eyes gave their thanks to the dark knight, nodding in reassurance.
âAside from my aching back and Ryneâs dress being in tatters, I do believe that we are quite alive.â
Aâviloh turned to the twins, Alisaie finally getting her brother up. Alphinaudâs hands went to his face and started to rub all the sand off his red cheeks, a tear or two coming down from how irritated his eyes were. He could read the twinâs lips, the poor Leveilleur cursing the saltiness of the sea. Alisaie sighed deeply and gave her brotherâs back one last smack before affirming that they were alright as well.
Thancred turned to regard the leader of the Crystarium. Anyone with eyes could see that he wasnât doing well and needed to get back to the Tower. Immediately. Gray hues tried to search for the Allagan ones, but the Exarch wouldnât lift his head. It wasnât until Thancred stepped closer that he could hear the rasped breathing from the leader.
The gunbreaker took another step, voice hushed as he bent down slightly. âExarch, we are a bit far from the nearest Amarokeeper and it would not do for you to collapse now. I must ask that you get on my back, I have the strength to carry you.â
Despite his hushed voice, The Warrior of Darkness overhead his words and turned his head, fully expecting the leader to take the offer. Instead, his expression grew dark when he saw the opposite. The Exarchâs normally relaxed posture was more reclusive, trembling hands slowly wrangling in what Aâviloh could only guess was nervousness. Faded ears were pinned, and if a tail could be present, he imagined it would either be curled up around one of his injured legs or between them. He saw the Exarch take two deep breaths and finally lift his head.
Allagan red pierced into the Scionâs stern ones, making them go wide. âIt is true that my distance from the Tower has depleted my strength. However, if I am to return to my people, it will be by my own two feet. I need only take a bit more time to arrive.â
Thancred strengthened up, and if it had been any other situation, he would have commented on the Exarchâs stubbornness. But now was not the time nor was he in the mood to argue.
The Warrior kept his smile away at the remnants of his old friend appearing, however, it would only get them so far, no pun intended. He stepped to the Exarchâs left, the leader acknowledging him only by turning slightly in his direction. Placing his hand on the leaderâs forearm, he gazed in the direction of the nearest civilization, his plan coming forward.
âThancred, would it be too much trouble for you and Ryne to head to Wright and procure us some Amaros?â He turned his head head at the sound of footsteps, calculating, but kind eyes focusing on one of the twins, giving the next part of his plan. âAlphinaud, how do you fare with going to the Crystarium with Alisaie?â
The young Elezen tilted his head to the side, the salt water finally leaving his ears after giving them a few pats. He tried to follow the Warriorâs train of thought, but couldnât figure out where it was heading. âWe can make it, but⊠may I ask why just us two?â
A misstep in his plan; of course it wasnât just those two that should go. With an apologetic smile, he answered. âMy apologies. Please, inform Lyna that we are on our way back home. She will feel more at ease in seeing you both first. Knowing the Captain, she will start to prepare for our recuperation AndâŠÂ I have a feeling that she has people waiting at all entrances for our return, so you will not have to travel far to find her. Yâshtola, Urianger, with that being said, if you are able, inform Chessamile of the number of beds that needs be prepared. Our wounds are severe, but not life threatening.â
Alisaie blinked at how easily the instructions came from her friend. How long did it take for him to think this all through? She couldnât help herself in voicing those thoughts, adding a bit of her spark as she crossed her soaked arms. âWe have barely left you alone, how have you come up with this plan? Now that your soul is complete again, did it change you to start barking orders?â She meant well, giving the Warrior an easy smile. Tired as he was, she shouldnât have been too surprised; he always was one to put people first.
âBark is one way of putting it, yes⊠Mayhaps your soul should break once or twice to bring you down to sizeâŠâ came Yâshtolaâs sly comment, thankfully only amused by her friendâs orders. Should she have been miffed by him⊠Aâviloh couldnât help himself in giving his fellow miqoâte a nervous smile, thinking it better to explain himself before others start bringing in their input. He looked up to the sky, his smile more natural on his lips. The sky⊠it might be a different sky from being in a different land, but it looked just like the one in the Source. Red hues mixing with now natural gold, the gentle blue fading away, the clouds forming shapes that he wished he could just lay down and pay attention to.
But not now. He was thinking too much now. There was too much to do, and he was thinking too quickly.
âChange me, no⊠But my thoughts are much clearer. That was quite a climb we had, and it made me think of what needs to be done for nowâ His eyes closed at that. Six beds, bandages and gauze, plenty of alcohol, healers to close the wounds once disinfected--
He turned his head towards Alisaieâs direction, mismatched brown opening to regard her with warmth. âIt is much easier to think about my family and what they need. We are almost done, we need just one last push. We do not have much time to waste, and we must act quickly and efficiently. I will join the Exarch at his pace in going back to the Crystariym. Worry not, I will see that we make it back home in one piece.â Aâviloh nodded, his eyes landing on each of his friends and taking into account their wounds.
Alphinaud still had salt in his eyes and his ears were a bit red from the water. His clothes were in tatters and he could see a deep bruise appearing on his side, along with some dry blood on his hands. Alisaie had a cut on her cheek and her hair was coming undone. The Warrior didnât want to look too far down without her knowing, but he could see quite a bit of bruises on her legs as well as how she leaned her weight to her left leg. He already knew that Yâshtolaâs back was bruised, and while she tried to hide her short breathing, he had a feeling that one of her ribs was broken. Urianger did his best to appear in his five senses, but from how unfocused his eyes were at times, he must have had a concussion. His clothes werenât faring any better, cuts and bruises trailing down. Poor Ryneâs dress was indeed in tatters, her shoulders now bare and her boots only holding up by strap or two. Her hands trembled under the sleeves and she grasped them lightly at times. The ribbon in her hair was long gone, and he could see how she tried to bring her hair back now and then. Her white dress didnât hide the bruises and cuts on her arms, and he dare not think of how her ankles were doing from how the mixture of blood and salt stayed on them. Thancredâs armor had thankfully protected him through most of the blows, just some scratches here and there, but Aâviloh knew that he had a few broken bones. Was that a broken fingerâŠ?
And the Exarch⊠GârahaâŠ
It wasnât that Aâviloh didnât want to pay attention to him. Far from it. However, he knew that the moment he did, he would focus on nothing more. Gâraha⊠his friend⊠He was here⊠He was safe. And he was right next to Aâviloh. From the little he could see from the corner of his eye, making sure that he was looking straight to the Scions, Gâraha was looking up at him. Making what kind of expression, he did not know. But Yâshtola could see it full well. Aâviloh tried to read her expression, but she was as unreadable as her eyes. And she made sure to keep it that way. Her milky hues shifted to Aâvilohâs, keeping her voice steady.
âUrianger and I will inform the chirurgeons on what needs be prepared. As you say, we must act quickly and effectively. I will assume that no one has any objections?â
Thancred was already on the move with Ryne right behind him, the young hume having given a bit of healing to the Exarch before patting his arm and walking quickly to catch up. The gunbreaker just wanted to scrub his damn armor clean, the tainted aether reminding him too much of his time with Lahabrea. He welcomed the young girl to his side, her pure aether keeping him focused.
Alphinaud was following the gunbreaker at his own pace, speaking quietly with Alisaie as to what should be said once they arrive. Much had happened, and much more had to be kept secret, else the city would be overcome with worry. He gave his arm to his sister, who swatted it away⊠until she realized that she would be walking too slowly for her own comfort, and promptly wrangled him back so that he would walk at her pace. And she made damn sure to place almost all of her weight on him, her twin smiling at her antics. Yâshtola had wrapped an arm around Uriangerâs as well, carefully guiding him towards the right path to Wright. The astrologian was more than willing to follow in her footsteps, although surprised by her initiative. It was not too long ago that she regarded him with scorn from how much he kept hidden from her. He knew that it would take her some time to forgive, and knew even more that she would never forget.
â...Warrior.â
Aâviloh jumped at being called; he could no longer keep his gaze forward. He had given enough reason for the Scions to leave them be. They knew that there was much that the Exarch and him needed to speak about, and while now was not the time, they could still be near each other. He looked down at the leader who had not left his side. The same one that still let his hand rest on the one arm that was still made of flesh. Gârahaâs gazed up at Aâviloh, searching for something that Aâviloh did not know of. There was still so much that he didnât know, and more that he could if he just really put his mind to it. But now was not the time. He wanted to--
âYou referred⊠to the Crystarium as your home. Do you truly see it that wayâŠ?â
âIs it our homeâŠ? It is the home to many⊠It is⊠my home at the momentâŠâ Aâviloh thought. He focused on the hand that was on the Exarchâs arm, becoming aware of how little warmth it emanated. More than that, he could see goosebumps appearing. âHeâs freezing⊠â
â...It is my home.â Aâviloh finally answered. He gazed deeply into those Allagan eyes, searching just as much as Gâraha did. The leader stayed silent for a few beats, his rasped breathing along with the gentle tide of the sea being the only noise. He seemed to have found his answer--or at least was content enough with what he saw--and smiled tiredly, speaking loud enough to be heard above the waves.
â...Full glad am I to hear that. Should the people of the Crystarium know, they will be filled with joy.â
Aâvilohâs tore his eyes away, trying to keep them on the faraway village. There was so much to speak about, so much that they needed to get straightened out. So much that he wanted to say.
Once they were well, talking could happen. He put his other hand on Gârahaâs crystal arm, almost pulling away from how faint the aether was. It was even colder, Aâviloh frowning from the temperature.
âFull glad will your people be when they see you backâ Gaze flicking to the faded ears of the leader, he questioned. âHow would you like to see them?â As much as he expected to know the answer, he didnât, nor did he want to assume.
Gârahaâs eyes went wide at the question, realizing the situation. It was true that no one had seen him without his cowl, this being the first time in⊠well, ever. However, so much had happened, and so many questions would arise. Nerves began to come up, his ears flicking back as he gazed down at the Warriorâs boots.
Aâviloh found his answer then. His lips pulled up into a half smile, looking over at his hand. The leader⊠he was incredibly expressive. The Warrior couldnât believe how blind he has been for so long to not see how expressive he was. He felt the slight trembles of Gârahaâs cold arms and gave them a light squeeze. Gâraha instinctually looked up from the movement and found himself less than a fulm away from the Warrior. He saw how clear Aâvilohâs eyes were, but more than that, how different they were. One darker than the other, both watched him with warmth and understanding.
So, so much warmth, and understanding. How he relished in the feeling after the last few days they all had.
âI am not sure how you lasted so long with your ears down. Pulling the cowl up, is that all I need to do?â came the question, both hands lightly grasping the base of said item.
It wasnât just the distance from the Tower that made his blood run cold. His cowl. The item that he hid behind for so long and needed to go back into. It was his symbol, along with his staff. That was how everyone in the Crystarium, no, all of the First, saw him with. The Crystal Exarch was a mysterious man whom no one knew where he came from or how he looked like underneath the hood. He gave, he helped, and he lead. That was his role, and that was all he could ever be.
Aâvilohâs brows furrowed at Gârahaâs expression. He was shaking harder, eyes wide and⊠resigned. They were tired. So, so very tired.
âŠAh, he knew that look too. He knew it very well.
At least, he thought he did. And he hoped that he was saying something close to what his friend wanted to hear. â...You do not need to keep it up. Not with me.â His hands left the hood, placing them on his friendâs shaking shoulders and giving them another squeeze. They came down slightly, having tensed up from the question.
Keeping his hood down with the Warrior. Keeping his hood downâŠÂ
What a wonderful dream that would be.
Aâviloh lightly placed a hand on Gârahaâs head, gauging how familiar he could be with the leader. Gâraha jumped but said nothing, looking up at him from beneath his lashed. This was good enough.
âYou will keep your cowl down when you are ready. Do not worry about your people, they will wait as much as they need to to see their beaconâs face.â He slowly spread his hand wide open, thumb and pinky slightly touching the base of his ears. Gârahaâs breath hitched at the intimate action, his ears plastering to his head and the Warrior took that chance to carefully pull the cowl over Gârahaâs head. His hand swiftly pulled away, bringing down the hood a bit more before keeping his hands to himself. The magicks in the hood worked immediately, only the leaderâs bottom half of his face being seen. Despite that, Aâviloh could feel the shock emanating from Gâraha, and how he wanted to say something, but the Warrior was already onto the next step.
With his back to the leader, he kneeled as he spoke quickly, getting the next words out before his own nerves got the better of him. They needed to get going, just now remembering the fatal wound that the leader had on his back. How he was still standing, Aâviloh had no idea.
âThere is much that needs to be discussed, and I would love nothing more than to speak with you in private, just as⊠we would in the past.â He faltered at the end, his heart tugging at the lie.
âIt isnât entirely a lie.â That faint, murky voice dwelling deep in his soul reassured. Ah, there was Esteem. He had been ominously quiet during his time in Amaurot, though his presence was clearly there when fighting Hades. Aâviloh was starting to worry when he could barely feel him at the end, thinking that the immense light might have done something (he wouldnât say extinguish, but when dealing with a deadly essence that was the exact opposite of them, he could never be too careful). The dull worry in his mind lessened, acknowledging his words as relief flooded in.
No, they did not speak as much when they were at the Source, far less from all of the light that the Warrior had for so long. But now that it was gone, they should be more active...right?
Continuing, the Warrior did not spare a glance at Gâraha. That word, beacon⊠It was one that he had not heard in a long time. Did it have the same effect on his friend as how it did for him all those years ago? âAnd talk we will. Once we get back to the Crystarium, and get better, we will talk. You have more days to live and now, you can decide how you would like to live them. I know that you said that you can walk on your own but⊠please, let me help you. Here, and back home.â When he heard no response, he willed himself to turn his head. Gâraha stood there, not having moved an inch. Face still obscured, his mouth was agape and looking much paler than he was minutes ago.
Were his lungs devoid of air because of physical reasons or from the Warriorâs words? Most likely both. Talk, back home, help⊠They could go back home and they could talk. They could be in the same room and talk, or just, just be. Oh how he wanted that. How he yearned for that.
Taking a shaky step forward, he hadnât raised his foot high enough, gripping at air when he began to fall but the Warrior rose quickly to catch him. He landed steadily on Aâvilohâs back, his arms being brought around the Warriorâs neck. As his legs were hooked, he involuntarily melted onto the Warriorâs strong back. Turning his face to the left, his hood kept jabbing into this skin, and the Warriorâs, but they made no mention. Instead, they kept going, the wind keeping him awake enough as the tiredness started to settle in.
Aâviloh thanked his lucky stars at how well that went, knowing that if they had not intervened, they would have continued to talk and Gâraha would have undoubtedly collapsed, making it much harder to transport them both. Once he settled into a steady rhythm, he spoke again, volume high enough to get his friendâs attention.
âWhen we get back, would you like for the people at the Spagyrics to treat you or myself?â
âWhat of your wounds?â he questioned in his mind. Opening his mouth, he tried to voice them, taking several tries to get the words out. So tired⊠so soreâŠÂ
âI will be fine. I will treat myself as well, donât worry.â
âI⊠I know you⊠Warrior⊠You will⊠put⊠me above yourselfâŠâ He rasped out, his throat starting to burn. The wound on his back ached, making him curl up slightly from the movement. Aâviloh took note of that and did his best to control his walk, still moving quickly but with less movement. His calves were cramping up, his back shooting up with pain along with his arms but he kept going, bending down more to bring the leader higher on his back. He apologized from how much skin he was making Gâraha show and continued on, his space slightly quicker.
âI promise to take care of myself too. If I am not well, how can I take care of you?â He could see Wright in the distance, though still far away. Just a bit moreâŠ
âSo please⊠Let me heal you. If I mend you, it will be easier to keep your physical self hidden from your people, if that is your wish. Whatever I cannot mend, I will learn how to.â He didnât hide his desperation as he kept his brisk walk. The aether in Gâraha started to wane, panic consuming some of his thought process.
He would not let himself be denied. Not again. Silver flashed in his mind, the sunset behind him reminding him of that terrible day. Not again, not again, not again--
âWho am I to deny such a request⊠As if⊠as if I could denyâŠâ Gârahaâs speech slurred, unable to keep his eyes open. His consciousness was fading, the dead trees and land melting altogether.
Aâviloh felt Gârahaâs hands slip, now running to the Amaro porter where Thancred and Ryne were thankfully waiting for them, the rest already for the Crystarium. As carefully as he could, he settled his unconscious friend in the front and prayed with all his might that he wasnât too late.

I was tagged by @vildeliens thank you Queen (of clowns and headcanoons) â€ïž
Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, donât cheat. Tag 10 (or however many) people. Â
Oz
Skam France
The Walking Dead
Doctor Who
Torchwood
1. Who is your favourite character in 2? Well that one is easy as hell. Lucas Lallemant, without the shadow of a doubt. I just adore that boy... I really do believe that heâs the most developed character of the whole skam universe. Also, i relate to him so so much, being parisian and 17 and queer and just, globally similar. And that Acting (TM) sure helps (will i ever be over axelâs acting? I dont think so)... I am gonna stop before i write essays (you all think this is a joke but i actually write random stuff about Lucas when i get bored in class, thats how bad it is). I just really love this boy folks...
2. Who is your least favourite character in 1? Well thatâs an easy one too. Vernon Schillinger, because he is a neonazi, which is enough. And he is just plain BAD (rapist, murderer, coward, blackmailer... you name it)... And itâs not even a love hate situation, i despise the guy so much, he makes me wanna crawl off my skin whenever he is on screen. Also i think heâs quite one dimensional which is very weird for that show but yeah. He is The Bad Guy.
3. What is your favourite episode of 4? Well thatâs a harder one lmao, because you know, the show has been going on since 1963, which means i have many many favourites... Imma go only with reboot, cause thats the one i know better and i have to say itâs the one i enjoy the most. I think my all time fave is the two parts one, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, because those are just so perfect in every aspect imo. But i also love love love the library arc from season 4 (i think lmao) because KUDOS FOR MAKING US INSENSITIVE ABOUT A CHARACTERâS DEATH ONLY FOT IT TO KILL US LATER (and overall the episodes are so so good). Also, because iâm a hoe for big dramatic moments, the episodes with the Master (end of s3 and end of s4 mainly, i dont really like Missy) and the two parts The Stolen Earth/Journeyâs end (i remember being so hyped by all of them squading up). Also, itâs not an episode but it deserves its place there: the entire season 6. Because Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Alex Kingston and Arthur Darvill are just so good. I didnt really enjoy seasons 8 to 10 (even tho i adore Peter Capaldi), but season 7 also has some that i loved (Angels in Manhattan and The Name of the Doctor killed me). And the 50th anniversary. I MEAN THIS IS COMPLICATE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH IT HAS SO MANY GOOD EPISODES (and itâs the first show i got obsessed with so theres that)
4. What is your favourite season of 5? I think iâll go with season 2 (?), because i love the og squad and they were all in it in s2, and i think the arcs were done really well (and the last episode, haha, me dead)... S3 and 4 i enjoyed less cause i think the teams didnât really work without Tosh, Owen and Ianto... I couldnât really find that magic again (and yes iâm still bitter).Â
5. Who is your favourite couple in 3? Itâs hard to find ALIVE people to form couples with lmao so iâll go with one that is in kinda stand-by... itâs complicate... Rick and Michonne cause i loved how they were best friends first and how their whole story was built... It made a lot of sense to me. Also i love the show less nowadays but i think those are still strong characters (minus Rick now lol)
6. Who is your favourite couple in 2? I had to snort. I know, itâs going to surprise you all, but itâs Manon and Charles OF COURSE. Kidding (pls. break. them. up). Itâs Eliott and Lucas (how many of you all are surprised) because. Do i need to explain. Just. Everything. I canât even put it into words. theyâre just a perfect match and so in tune and so in love and i should stop now but i wonât so iâm sorry. I love how they complete each other and understand each other, and i loved how Lucas made Eliottâs dream real (polaris), and i love how they arent perfect yet they learn with each other and they make each other better . I love how cute they look and how in love and how raw. I love the way Lucasâ voice softens when he talks to eliott, and the way eliottâs eyes are so full of wonder. Also the way they fight sometimes but always come back to each other and love stronger. And their ship names literally means âchosen oneâ, how could I not ship? LISTEN THEY JUST FIT OKAY AND I WONT TAKE ANY CRITICISM
7. What is your favourite episode of 1? oh god i donât remember them all at all lmao but imma try to come up with one (not 22838 like i normally do). So iâd say 4x11 (revenge is sweet)?? but honestly the show is so continuous that its hard to choose one ep... id say s4 is my favourite hands down though
8. What is your favourite episode of 5? YES THAT I CAN!! itâs from season 1, even though i love s2 better overall, Countrycide. I loved everything about that ep, and it still sends shivers down my spine when i think about it. I particularly enjoyed how it depicted the teamâs relationships and how it showed that monsters can be amongst mankind (which, we been knew, but still. it was very well done for a show that fights aliens to fight humans)
9. What is your favourite season of 2? Another easy one! Season 3, as my entire blog can attest. Itâs just. A masterpiece. Thatâs it thatâs the post.
10. How long have you watched 1? I bingewatched it in like two months (cause i had to take breaks because school) in 2016. Itâs a show that ended around 2000 so itâs not like i HAD to wait, and the episodes arenât really stand alone so i had to watch them in a row.
11. How did you become interested in 3? I started watching with my dad because he is a cinephile that shows me loads of movies and tv series, then showed it to my mom. And now my dad stopped watching so i watch it with my mom exclusively even though i dont enjoy as much as i used to (still love it though).Â
12. Who is your favourite actor in 4? Matt Smith (even though i adored Eccleston, and couldnât appreciate Tennantâs AMAZINGNESS cause i was too sad to see 9 go aoimjdk). But Matt Smith is the funniest, most Doctor-ish one imo.
13. Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? This is gonna sound like a betrayal to shows iâve watched for so many years but Skam France, hands down. (iâm obsessed okay)
14. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? 3 because it has more eps and iâm caught up with both, so logically its 3.
15. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Umh i think iâm kinda similar to Clara in some ways (?). Maybe. Like in the way weâre both hopeless romantic in search of an adventurous life. Plus, she is a lgbt+ icon and you canât convince me otherwise so thereâs that. i mean i think i globally identify with companions cause i wanna be them so bad lmao (imagine how cool it would be for my nerdy self ugh). But i look like a Sontaran so. Mayhaps iâd be one of those instead
16. Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? umh thatâd be funny as hell. The Doctor just jumping in a zombie apocalypse. Though i think theyâd find a way to stop the apocalypse, so the second show would be annihilated by the first one. Mmh. Interesting still, up for it (iâm up for anything tbh)
17. Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? Thatâs the hardest one i had to answer GOD. Iâd go with the crack ship, Ryan OâReilly and Miguel Alvarez, tho they would both kill me and then burn my body if they ever saw this
18. Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? Weeeelll i think The Walking Dead used to have an amazing storyline (the Governorâs arc was spectacular), but now iâd go with Torchwood cause sometimes (a lot of times), shows that donât try to make it last for ages tie everything better. And Torchwood did tie things well enough imo (even tho iâm forever sad and bitter)
19. Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4? I donâ think Skam France has a theme music?? more like soundtracks (amazing ones)??? But i mean even if it did Doctor Who would still win cause the themes are fantastic (yes i went there)
This was so fun guys so imma tag @evnisak, @isak-valterssen, @jebentnietalleen, @demauryy, @srodvlv, @takaoparadise, @starcassstic, @thebananaslug, @sleepingthroughmyproblems, @akalousthings and anyone else i forgot, or anyone wanting to do this really

đ»Thoughts on Beetlebabes, Sareth, and similar pairingsđŠ
I rather like Labyrinth and Beetlejuice (the animated series), but going into these tags on Tumblr is always a chore. Why? Because a substantial amount of content in those fandoms tend to feature the very young female protagonists being "shipped" with grown, adult men.
While Iâm not sure how the creators of Labyrinth have felt about pairing Sarah and Jareth, if the Beetlejuice Animated Wiki is to be believed, some writes behind the cartoon deliberately implied that the titular âghost with the mostâ has romantic feelings towards Lydia Deetz. Even going as far as to portray Beetlejuice as a jealous, clingy type of âadmirerâ on a few occasions.
Whether or not this is true, I donât know. Beyond the fan-made Wiki and TV Tropes page, I canât find any valid confirmation of this being a fact. Maybe it was âpurposefully invoked,â perhaps itâs an unfortunate implication, or mayhap fans are just fabricating their own biased and warped interpretation of Lydia and Beetlejuiceâs friendship. Regardless of the creatorsâ alleged opinions and intent, it still doesnât change that portraying an adult as having a harmless crush on a child is reprehensible and should be represented as such.Â
Aging up Lydia and Sarah solely to be coupled with Beetlejuice and Jareth respectively doesn't negate the inherent issue that comes with fantasizing about a minor and an adult as being an item. Numerous fans saw a 12 or 14 year old character and felt that, if they interpret her to be the âappropriate ageâ (e.g., 18-24 y/o), she'd make the perfect partner for a character whoâs canonically an adult. Such a widespread, and nearly unopposed, response to seeing a girl interact consistently with a man demonstrates how pervasive and normalized it is to accept the idea of men pursuing relationships with girls, young barely-adult women, or much younger women who these men were acquainted with when they were girls.Â
We live in a world where men tend to be emboldened to prey on girls and girls are pressured into maturing quickly to accept these predatory men into their lives, so it's no surprise to see this virtually ubiquitous notion is replicated in fan spaces, even those populated mostly by women. This trend in women-centric fandom sometimes edges towards portraying the process of child grooming or borderline ephebophilia/pedophilia as attractive, desirable, and even justifiable. It's a persistent reminder that this detrimental, outdated cliche can be found not only in mass media, but also in fan culture.Â
Nevertheless, there's so much of this kind of Jareth x Sarah and Beetlejuice x Lydia âshippingâ content, so much of it goes untagged, and so much of it is widely accepted without question or critical thought. As a result, it's extremely unpleasant and jarring having to sort through it all just to find any meager morsels of content not riddled with misogynistic, near ephebophilic/pedophilic implications.
