gold (in the air)
🔞 a!Ryujin x a!Yeji x o!Chaeryeong 🔞 non-traditional ABO / smut / inspired by other works 9,447 words
READ ON AO3
Chaeryeong. Yeji is looking at Chaeryeong. And now, Ryujin is looking at her. No. Gawking at her. Framed by the window behind her and illuminated by the light shining through its glass, Chaeryeong is nothing if not breathtaking. Posted up on the couch in their living room, she seems almost otherworldly. Her eyes are cast forward, legs coquettishly tucked beneath herself. Her lips are a rich red, a shade so saccharine that she’s not sure if it’s from the lollipop in her mouth or from an earlier decision to give Ryujin a reason to kiss her for when she got home – as if she’s ever needed a reason to do that. What really gets to her are the gossamer locks that fall around Chaeryeong’s face. Each strand seems placed almost strategically so, as if she was trying to highlight the curve of her cheeks or the overhangs of her ears. The blonde hair has been a part of their lives for a couple of weeks now and she and Yeji have been quite enthusiastic in showing her how much they enjoy the new look (with Chaeryeong responding just as enthusiastically to the affirmations – both verbally and physically). All of that is wrapped up in a pair of form-fitting leggings and a sweater that Ryujin rates as dangerous as it looks comfortable. The shoulders of it are bare, showing off Chaeryeong’s own – two more reasons and places for Ryujin’s mouth to meet – but the bottom of it is just as alluring. Not cropped per se, but just short enough to reveal a small, tantalizing strip of stomach that begs to be seen more of and touched. It takes a moment, but Ryujin’s brain eventually reboots before filling itself with all the possibilities that an empty house and a full day ahead can provide the three of them. A low hum starts in Ryujin’s chest. She begins to paw at the clothes and skin Yeji has unwittingly offered up to her. Her eyes narrow in and focus on the sight before her, feeling like the beast of prey she’s sometimes likened to. It wouldn’t be the first time she, or any of them, has been compared to a cat. And while Ryujin has never been one to beat any allegations, she always thought there were more poignant examples of her behavior that could be described as “feline.” The videos her dad sends her of Byulie are the first that come to mind. They all start out with the creature parked on top of some table or shelf, just waiting for a way to stir up some chaos. He always finds it too – some unfortunate mug or ornament that was left behind or forgotten. He’ll wait until someone sees him before pushing the object with his paw until there’s nothing but air holding it up. And that is what she wants to do to Chaeryeong. To take this priceless porcelain and turn it into pieces.

MY FAVORITE RCP EPISODES AND WHY
(MY OPINION!!)
1- "Save Helly" The best episode in my opinion. We had worried rescue team + ANGST AND FLUFF + POLI??? I loved Poli in this episode a lot. He's not really my favorite but he gave me strong older brother vibes especially when he was helping Helly. Considering that the show is for preschoolers, this episode was genuinely so good? Tbh I just wish Jin would have showed up more. I would've loved to see her more worried for Helly since she's always yelling at him and stuff, but I'm still happy with what we got.
2- "Thank you, Roy". THIS EPISODE. I LOVED ROY HERE SO MUCH. THE ANGST, THE FLUFF, THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I'M OBSESSED. This is why the rescue team focused episodes are the best, because there are so many things you can do with them and their dynamic. I love the lesson it gives to kids, aka that you should always take care of yourself and stuff. And I also love how it sort of showed that the rescue team aren't all indestructible and can get hurt on the job. I don't really have much to say on it other than the fact that it was amazing and made me love Roy as a character even more.
3- "Amber's training". THIS EPISODE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I love Amber sm she's my comfort character, my mother, my pookie bear, and I love episodes where she's the main focus. I loved how we got to see her vulnerable side and more of her personality and struggles in this episode. SHE JUST WANTED TO BE AS STRONG AS THE OTHERS AND PUSHED HERSELF TOO MUCH AAAAA. And I also loved the angst at the beginning and when she fell off that cliff and how she got hurt, and Jin and the others were worried, however the next part of the episode was kinda disappointing. She just got up like nothing happened and went to look at some infected trees. I really wanted her to get a more serious injury, so the others would need to take care of the doctor instead of the other way around and it would be such a cute plot. It would teach kids that you don't need to push yourself just because you don't succeed the first time, everyone learns on their own pace and Amber should've just trained slowly and not stress too much since she just ended up hurting herself badly, and honestly I'm so mad they didn't add that. (But fanfiction exists, maybe I should rewrite this ep with this plot?)
4- "Let's be honest" MORE HELLY ANGST. I loved how Roy went in to save Helly when he was in that fire and he was so worried and FUCKK ROY WAS SUCH AN OLDER BROTHER HERE AND HE TOOK THE BLAME WHEN JIN WAS MAD And then Helly got overwhelmed with all the fighting and flew away... So yeah it was a bit angsty and I love that.
5- "Helly's Birthday". Yet another Helly angst. This was definitely my favorite S1 episode. The plot was simple but really cute, I felt so bad for Helly, like imagine the people you care about the most forgetting your birthday, especially since Helly is most definitely a kid, or at least way younger than the others. THOSE ARE HIS PARENTS‼️But I can also sort of understand the rescue team. Considering all the shit the town puts them through, they were probably stressed and busy, especially Jin, so they just forgot. Still they apologized and all ended well (although I would've loved more angst)
6- "Poli's secret" I loved this episode because we learned something more about Poli and it's his FEAR! I love that he's afraid of caterpillars, giving him a silly fear like that was a good move and it gave the character more personality. Also the way the others teased him at the end was fun, I love how they're so comfortable with each other to joke around and tease each other too.
7- "Bicycle safety (traffic safety with Poli)" alright pls hear me out on this one... The traffic safety series is my guilty pleasure, like it's not good but I still enjoy it for some reason, (not as much as daily life safety with amber but I still like it) and this episode was super cute to me. Like we have this girl who can't ride a bike and Poli sees her struggling, stops patrolling and just teaches her how to ride a bike. she didn't even ask him to, he just decided to help her out of his own free will and I thought it was so cute and fluffy. Poli was so dad here. I really wish we could see more children like this instead of always seeing Kevin and doughy (or whatever his name is) since tbh I tolerated them at first but I don't really like them...

dlc Ryu kinda crazy for wanting Yeji to ruin her just before a 2 hour practice fr, seems like they would kept going if it was up to her.
In my head I was like "Yeah... they just be freaky like that"
And that chaerji was just 😢 Yeji my beloved, hope they get to go on a date soon so she can confess already.
Happy new year RCP! thank you so much for keeping this series going. Looking back, every new entry was a highlight for me, I remember looking up to relax after a long day at work with every one of them, and believe me when I say that this being a really rough year in my life, you surely made it better with your amazing writing.
Nye celebrations hasn't started yet where I am, I hope you have a great end of 2024 and an amazing start of 2025, see you on the next update!
Thanks for reading! You're right they kinda are, I'm pretty sure ryu would have kept going if yeji had let her (...can't say I blame either of them tho) Chaerji will go on that date! It's in the works and all I can say is: they're real cute :)
Happy new year anon! (hopefully the celebrations are in full swing by now) Thank you so much for reading, I'm glad that dlc's been able to help you relax after a long day. You're way too kind, and I really hope 2025 will be more gentle to you and that you have an incredible year ahead! <3

She let out a soft gasp.
For the first time in her life did she hear such words. Someone was praising her. Someone was thinking of her as something great rather than a burden. A friend.
Poli's words warmed her soul. The forget-me-not was offering a place in his garden. A way for her to grow. Bloom into a beautiful daisy instead of plucking her own petals. They'd amaze the world together.
Thanks.. That really means a lot. Guess it's somewhat easier with you.
She sits a bit closer to the boy, giving him the same warm smile.
Despite the two finally bonding, spending the evening crying over their issues isn't something she wanted to do. At least not now. They could use a distraction.
The teenager noticed the toy. Lying on the couch, it was being shined upon by the golden rays of the evening. The picture in Poli's room appeared in her mind. A moment of happiness that was preserved forever. Jin picked up the plush, bringing it closer to herself.
It looks just like the one on the photo. What's its name?
@daily-rcp-poli
Worriness is a trait that could cause doom to some.
The rookie always worried. About everything. About everyone. But he seemed to cast a blind eye when it came to himself. He was a functioning adult of society, Poli did have the image that he could take care of himself just fine.
The inner child that dreamed upon the stars disagreed, however. He didn't like it whenever the adult on the outside left trash bags rot inside the complex. He hated when food was not an important fuel to the officer.
The child cried when the thoughts of reaching the galaxy came around.
Poli rests his head against his desk, filled with paperwork to the brim. It had about been a week or so since the teenager found a place in his home.
Some time from the incident, too.
The academy forced Jin back into the system, up and working. Poli despised it. A young girl, so brutally brought to look at the injury a wilted rose caused, an injury that engraved itself into her.
Painful reminder, is what they say.
Now that the girl lived here, obvious changes twisted his home around. Trash to machinery that still needed to be worked on in his room, bags that found themselves in the corner.
Jin still hasn't warmed up to the star, so she sustained to making her own little corner in the apartment. He didn't mind. Poli did state several times that the inventor didn't feel the need to speak to him, just to paint him as a ghost he views himself as on the canvas.
The girl still made some attempts, and he certainly did find these attempts grateful. It was hard. Hard for her to cope. Poli was angry when the academy discarded her injury, only batting an eye to her studies.
Threatening her with failing grades if she wanted to rest. His academy was familiar, but for a reason that he, himself found unknown too;
He cared for her more than himself.
Poli sighs. He had been dreaming again while dozing off from the big binder of English he had been teaching himself with. He couldn't focus–
His focus regrains when he notices books that weren't his onto the bed. Weren't those–
Jin's books! She forgot to take them with her!
He jolts out from his chair, clumsily stumbling onto his knees. The rookie groans, picking himself up and practically crawling to the pile of unforgotten books.
Jin just left. He still has time.
Shoving the books into a navy blue shoulder bag, he faces the door.
And save her from a failing grade. Poli heads out, a duty to start his day off.

So, RCP: what keeps inspiring you to draw in this recurrent melancholic, yet warm scenery? It scratches my curiosity, since this style does look pretty modern than the average star wars-y vibe. Not that I'm complaining, of course. It's really neat, beautiful and super nice to look at, even if you aren't familiar with SW characters. Since I follow your work for months now, even years, and I deeply adore what you do, I'd love to hear your answer. Keep up the amazing work and happy new year.
Thank you for sending me this message. I’m very grateful while reading it. You’ve raised a question that I’m thrilled to discuss about.
“Recurrent melancholic, yet warm scenery”
For me, there’s no lack of inspirations because my mind is filled with numerous images when I think about Huxlo(& Star Wars). Those scenes pop out from nowhere. Every single one of them looks like a synopsis of a outstandingly splendid story.
I wish I know the stories, but I don’t. All I’ve got is a pile of glittering crystal shards.
One of my favorite things in Huxlo fandom is collecting stories from those who have seen those shards. I’m willing to spend days in depicting some beautifully confusing scenes with frustration and anxiety because I’m certain that right after I post the pictures, someone will say, “I see the story”, and then I can finally finish the puzzle in joy when people explain it to me.
Most of my friends in Star Wars fandom are super talented writers who tell stories that make me explode like a firecracker. I resonate to their writings as much as our minds link to the same main server. When I read their fics, I feel like I’ve read those many years ago; I feel like I’ve already read those a million times; and I feel like the feeling of déjà vu is taking away my breath. The writers always say, “of course you know my trash well, most of the plot is based on your trash”. They have no idea how I feel. Their writings make me literally the happiest person in the world. I failed to tell them how mysterious it is — How can I have no clue about what I’m doing but still keep going on? How can they see the shards perfectly as a whole? How can they put waves and lightnings in their writings? How can we enjoy being with each other?How can my soul burn in ecstasy without shame? Fuck, I’m apparently in love. Only love drives people crazy like this. I don’t know what’s the magic in The Force Awakens, but since I accidentally watched this fucking film in cinema and fell head over heels in Huxlo, I’ve found peace in my life.
Hux and Kylo have such a poisonous relationship. I’d like to see all the gracefully disturbing things happen to them. I’d like to see all the wonderfully terrible things happen to them.
My skills of sketching, anatomy, composition, perspective, and coloring obviously have a lot of things to improve.I hope I can increase the amount of practicing and make posts on a daily basis this year. I’m still learning making better trash, so my style will vary in the process of study. You said that my style looks relatively modern, I’ll take it as a compliment.
I don’t think I answered your question well. In short, the concept of Huxlo itself has inspired me to present every scenery in my posts. Thank you again for your sweet message. Please feel free to send me asks.
🎉🎉🎉 Happy New Year !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Best Books of 2017
What a fucking year. I am trying to climb out of a hole of depression (at times, I feel like I fell in the hole on election night 2016, and at times, I feel like I’ve been in the hole - whether I realized it or not - for 30 years), and books help. In case they help you, too, here are some of my best reads of the year.
The Best Books I Read in 2017
Standard Deviation - I’ve been recommending this book to everyone, and I can’t quite get the recommendation right. It’s about marriage, living in a city, autism, origami. See, you don’t want to read it, right? Yet it was my favorite read of the year, so maybe this will convince you: it made me laugh out loud multiple times (which books rarely do). In twenty-fucking-seventeen. I was grateful for a witty escape, and maybe you need one, too.
(And if that doesn’t convince you: sometimes when I love a book so much, I become slightly obsessed with the author and try to learn as much as I can about them. The author of this book is Katherine Heiny, and she lives in Bethesda [!!!], and I have hopes that I will run into her someday and then we’ll be good friends and she’ll ask me to read drafts of her work. Twenty-five years ago she sent a story to the New Yorker on a Thursday, and they called her on Friday and said they were running it. That kind of makes you hate her, but gives her some writing chops. Then she spent some decades writing YA books for a different author, and now I’m behind on this list because I started reading all about her all over again.)
(PS I thought I would hate Audra, and I ended up really loving her, and now I find myself wondering what she would have to say about things. I made Grant read this book, and he does the same thing, which is really fun.)
Autumn - I would have sworn I read this in 2016 since it seems like forever ago, but the yellow construction paper list doesn’t lie. This is a book the wonderful Ali Smith wrote after Brexit, so it felt fitting (and a little depressing) to read after Trump. She’s planning a book for all of the seasons, and I can’t wait. Winter comes out on January 9, 2018.
A Gentleman in Moscow - I’ve avoided Amor Towles books because they didn’t sound that interesting to me, which was my loss. I read this and Rules of Civility (see honorable mention list below) and loved them both but recommend this one if you’re only reading one. You can google the book to find out what it’s about (a count is under house arrest in a wonderful hotel in Moscow in the 1920s), but to me it was about survival, and it’s some of what I needed to read this past year.
Rich People Problems - A few years ago, my best book of the year would have been Crazy Rich Asians (the title is problematic, but I still recommend it to people, and hope everyone will read it before they watch the movie that’s coming out). The second in the series, China Rich Girlfriend, was good but not amazing, so I had lower expectations for RCP. I’m not sure if it’s because my expectations were lower, and it sailed over them, but I loved this book. If you need an escape, especially one with laughs, and I haven’t convinced you about Standard Deviation, start this series.
Hunger: A Memoir of My Body - Mostly, I read to escape because it’s my stress reliever and one of my coping mechanisms, which is evident in many of these reviews. I say that so that you know that this book is NOT an escape; rather, it’s one that broke me open and left me raw, and one of the few nonfiction books to make my list. I am forever thankful for Roxane (one N!) for her courage and hope so many people will read this and seek to understand and be empathetic. At the same time, if you are a #metoo, especially for sexual assault, maybe don’t read this if you’re in a depression spiral. The book will wait until you are ready.
Plainsong - I found Kent Haruf when I read Our Souls at Night (also recommend) when I think it was on the Tournament of Books. I did the whole I’m-obsessed-about-an-author thing and was saddened to realize he’d died right after publication of that book. If you want to know what it’s like to live in a small town, please read him. You can start with Plainsong and then you have two more books in the series (Eventide, Benediction) to look forward to reading. Basically, read this if you want the escape equivalent of a quiet weekend on a farm with no internet.
Goodbye, Vitamin - A delicious read for anyone who has felt lost at a crossroads (who hasn’t???).
You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir - Sherman Alexie is an incredible author (proof: once someone who worked for me said he didn’t know if he’d ever read a book, so [#badmanagementalert] I delegated reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian as part of his job, and he read it and loved it), and this is a memoir about the tortured relationship he had with his mom. He writes family dysfunction so well I felt like some of the sentences were coming from my own brain onto the page.
Little Fires Everywhere - I also love Celeste Ng (read Everything I Never Told You, too), and worried a little bit that there would be no way I could love her second novel as much as her first. And then I read Little Fires Everywhere and loved it more! It made me remember what it was like to be in high school, about what happens to secrets in families, and I appreciated the nuanced view of culture and adoption. This was Amazon’s (well-deserved!) best pick of the year for 2017.
The Misfortune of Marion Palm - Read this and find yourself rooting for a flawed woman who runs away from her life and might get away with it.
This Is How It Always Is - This was one of my last reads of the year, and I wish I could have savored reading it more, but I couldn’t put it down. It’s about parenting and love and cisgender and transgender children. I loved it so much that I kept reading it through the author acknowledgments where she writes that it’s inspired by her real life (she’s the mother of a transgender daughter) and so she knows that it will be a controversial book but she can’t for the life of her remember why. Read it and then I think that sentence will resonate with you, too.
Christmas Days - Maybe save this for Christmas 2018, but definitely read it. It’s a collection of short stories (a medium I’m usually not down with, tbh) that the author Jeanette Winterson wrote for her friends and family, and then her publisher convinced her to publish them. That doesn’t sound good at all, but it is! I only read it because I’m a Jeanette Winterson fan, and then they were delightful in a hygge sort of way (and not in a Lifetime Christmas movie sort of way). I felt odd that I liked this so much, and then felt super validated when this title showed up on the NYT best 100 books. So if you don’t believe me, believe them!
Mysteries
The Dry - I love a good mystery, but to me that means that it needs to be a page-turner, I can’t guess who did it (but afterward I can go back and the clues were there the whole time), and it has good writing. That last criterion is what usually trips up my quest, but not in The Dry! If anyone asks me for mystery, and they’ve already read Before The Fall, this is what I’m recommending.
Magpie Murders - A mystery within a mystery! I didn’t know if I’d be down for this concept, but it met the criteria above, and I ended up loving it. I haven’t recommended it to Grant (and I usually force my recommendations on him, especially for mysteries), and I think because it’s more of a puzzle than a thriller, so keep that in mind. (I just put together a puzzle and didn’t even ask him to help because I think he’d rather someone stab him in the eye with toothpicks, so recommending a puzzle book to him wouldn’t end well.)
Honorable Mentions in 2017 (ie I really enjoyed these books, too, but not enough to write a blurb about each of them)
Small Admissions
The American War
The Mothers
Rules of Civility
Anything is Possible
Killers of the Flower Moon
The Impossible Fortress
The Heirs
Dark Matter
The Force
Exit West
Refuge
Future Home of the Living God
The Power
Sing, Unburied Sing
The Essex Serpent
Mysteries
Celine
Since We Fell
Skinny Dip
Not A Sound
Charm City
Baltimore Blues
Participation Award Glass Houses - this is the 13th book in the Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny. I usually love them, but I didn’t love this one. I’m mentioning it because I did love going to the Eastern Townships outside of Montreal this year to see the village inspiration for her books, and if you’re looking for reliably good mysteries, you can start with Still Life. You can also pick up Maisie Dobbs, and you’ll thank me later.

i’m still not over the surprise chaerji live from a few days ago. so cute how yeji joined her with pepper crab even thought their rooms were on different floors. of course, they bickered over their heights again (link with eng sub for those who haven’t seen it!! https://youtu.be/PN5puIKExMg?si=tPWx64sfawdYuB9M )
happy new year, RCP! finding DLC and talking to you about itzy has definitely been a highlight of 2024 to me. i don’t think i’ve admitted this before, but i don’t have any midzy friends (irl or online) to talk about how amazing itzy are. thank you for being a comfort space for me and letting me join you on all the incredible itzy moments that happened this year. it’s been really fun! thank you again and here’s to more itzy in 2025 o7 // 🦇
Starting 2025 off with some beloved Chaerji (they're so cute) <3
Chaerji live was incredible, every screenshot from it was incredible and kinda wholesome even if they're bickering over a 2 cm difference - thank you for the subbed yt link, i haven't fully watched it myself either! (absolute legend to find this for everyone)
Happy new year 🦇!! again thank you so much for reading DLC, It's been an absolute pleasure to have you over here. Thank you for joining and indulging me too, you're always welcome here, always so kind and sweet with every ask/ thought you give, and in doing so, contributing to that comforting space. You've made my 2024 that much brighter too, so here's to many more my friend o7

im better with illustrating my thoughts instead of writing them out, so this might be a bit messy
i just finished reading dlc from start to finish, and this is genuinely one of my favorite series ive read, i love the way you capture their dynamic and how you show how things work out for them.
with how everything starts with ryuryeong, it pulls you in, their playful dynamic is so them. ryujin has always been patient with chaeryeong, she gets her quirks and she loves every single one. chaeryeong has always trusted ryujin, she knows ryujin will always be there, like her anchor. their gestures will always have so much care behind them, you can tell theyve always loved each other.
then we get into ryeji. when i first saw them, it felt a little tense (at least it seemed so for me)? to me it felt like there was something that they needed to talk about. when ryujin hurt her neck, and yeji literally could not stop thinking about it? i was actually losing it like she cares so much, both as a leader and as a friend. then their conversation they had in dlc 6, it was so understanding and it just was so heartwarming to me. yeji finally opening up about how she felt, about falling in love with her friend, someone who wasnt really ideal for an alpha like yeji, someone who was in a relationship with someone else, it just was nice to see. idk, i just really love the way you write ryeji, it actually got me into ryeji a lot more than i was before.
chaerji, the lovelies. i love how you made it so that chaerji getting together had a lot more build up than ryury and ryeji. in dlc 4 , even though chaeryeong had been alone with yeji, her mind would drift to ryujin, and now we’re at dlc 12, and chaeryeong sees yeji as her lover, she’s happier to be scented by yeji/scenting yeji, and it just feels like it’s come full circle. i love that they took their time. even now, they (yeji.) still seem so shocked that they have each other, it’s refreshing.
catz is already such an amazing trio, and theyre all so silly. theyre literally “hot girl and her two loser gfs” all of them can be the hot gf or the losers it doesnt matter. i love this series a lot, it’s introduced me to so much. thank you for writing rcp, we love your work 💗
(also, chaerji date??? will i be okay after this? will yeji be okay after that date?? questions… questions…)
<🐞3
(sorry that this response is late but!)
i've been reading and re-reading this whenever I've had time and i literally light up every single time like 2 sentences in.
ryuryeong my loves, they are incredible, my otp in itzy for a good 4 years now, they're both so playful when combined is either a match made in heaven or a chaos waiting to unfold. literally everything you said is perfect, i'm glad i've been able to bring out and show that love through dlc🥺
ryeji! oh ryeji. the duo that i was afraid to tackle but am forever grateful that i did. they were definitely a little tense in the beginning, not too sure what they should feel/ or should do about them.
ryeji opening up, i still really like that convo even though there are parts that were in hindsight too vague/jumpy.. I wish i had explored them a bit more before just diving straight into the catz trio (but i guess i could always go back (the luxury of a series structure!) to explore them in a duo/lore centric entry)
i'm surprised dlc got you more into ryeji, they're so popular within the itzy fic circle, idk just a little surprised!
chaerji, the duo that stole my heart and made 2024 about them and only them!! they do have a lot more of a build up, partly because i was initially uncertain of how to navigate and explore their relationship within ryuryeong's established one. i feel like they've had a much more organic? growth throughout the series and i'm happy about that :)
a "hot girl and her two loser gfs" that is pretty much a loosely accurate description of dlc catz, they can all rotate the roles however they see fit.
thank you so much for reading 🐞, for coming here to comment and all the fun questions and twt links, and for being so lovely to interact with! hope you wrap up the year nicely and start 2025 well!
(you read that right, chaerji date!!! everybody put ryury, ryeji on hold, we're gonna be in chaerji land! and yes yeji will be more than fine after that date :))

Hi! It's me the ☀️ anon. It's been a while since my last ask. But just so you know I have been around and all caught up with DLC!
First of all, the last three entries?! Absolutely amazing. You have no idea how many times I've read them, like the brainworms won't leave me alone (like I'm even considerating writing myself, that's just how much your writing impacts and inspires).As always thank you so much for writing and sharing it with us, you are truly amazing RCP.
On the other hand, my rereadings of the last entries let me with a couple of questions: Does Yeji have a thing with her neck? Like is she maybe into collars or choking maybe? I've noticed some little nods to it and it made me really curios 👀.
And since we're in the topic of Yeji It's pretty obvious that she tends to make her partner's pleasure her priority (she is always the last to get off, and sometimes it seems like if it weren't for ryuryeong she would just not come at all) and it made me wonder what is maybe her though process or feelings regarding that.
And my last question: We've seen Yeji surrender to Chaeryeong and quite literally being submissive, so the logical question is if She will be into trying something similar with Ryujin? Or even if Ryujin herself would have it in her to put herself in a dominant position when it comes to Yeji?
Anyways, that's all from me. As always I hope I'm making sense with this questions and once again I love DLC so much and thank you for sharing it with us !
-☀️
☀️ anon, it's been a hot minute, welcome back!
thanks for keeping up with dlc, thank you for each and every one of those reads/re-reads, thank you for your time and i truly appreciate you taking the time to jump over here too
god that's really touching omg,☀️anon please do give it a try if you're interested in writing! there's a handful of us here and we'd love to see more writers around! (if you'd like to reach out off of anon! admittedly, there are way better people out there but i'd be more than happy to help out in whatever way I can!)
ok onto dlc questions:
short answer, yes. yeji does have a thing for collars and might dip into (light) choking, it's something chaerji has been slowly figuring out about each other and it's gonna lead to some fun times ;)
I think dlc yeji thrives off of it, she loves exploring these intimate moments and like you said, she "makes her partner's pleasure her priority", it's important to her that they're both treated with love, respect and affection. I use "service top" quite loosely with her as well but it is a semi accurate rep of her. Her thought process is like: seeing them get off makes her feel good and happy and hence can get off because of it.
when it comes to ryury specifically, she honestly loves them so much she'd make sure they're completely happy and sated before she thought about herself, and well we all know ryury are not gonna let that slide, so she's been a bit better about her own wants and needs nowadays in dlc.
Leaning towards no for the final question. I think ryujin wouldn't be into doing what chaeryeong does with yeji. But would she be able to put herself in a dominant position when it comes to yeji? yes. The switch aspect of Ryujin is really important to me, she would be able to do so if/when the opportunity calls for it. Just because she's been bottoming for Yeji doesn't mean she's now unable to do top, if that makes sense. While it would look different compared to when Yeji is topping her, doesn't mean she's not topping, as we've seen with Chaeryeong, a part of topping comes with words and mind games (affectionate!).
again hope my answers made sense! thank you for the questions and for being so kind :)

considering you have to juggle multiple different unique dynamics that develop with each entry, you’re doing an amazing job! it’s been such a fun journey as a reader :)
and thank you for the thoughtful answer on jealous ryeji! i can only imagine how difficult it’d be to write them being jealous that feels right to you as the author. i should have been more clear in my example though; i was thinking more along the lines of accidentally scenting, like how minju did with yeji. my thought process that started my curiosity is that chaeyeon is more social than chaeryeong, so it’d be natural her friends gravitate to the younger lee sister with purely platonic intentions, but i suppose ryeji would simply re-establish their scents on ryeong if they smelled other people on her? ryeji being the (territorial) sunshine protector meme to chaeryeong, their sunshine :’)
please have a great week yourself, RCP, and i look forward to whatever you have next in store for us. that being said, please continue to go at your own pace and enjoy the holidays when they come around! // 🦇
oooh interesting! accidentally scenting could very well happen, though it would mostly be because of proximity (i.e hug) and if two people spent a lot of time with each other in an enclosed space. I could totally see chaeyeon having the izone girls over and unintentionally causing their scents to linger on chaeryeong.
i think there’s a very clear difference between a scent lingering due to proximity and time vs an intentional scent. the former would be an easy fix, they’d just like make out or something and it’d be gone soon, but the latter, if any soul out there is even brave enough to attempt that, they’ll face the wrath of a two very angry alphas (and a very angry ryeong too).
ryeji would fight tooth and nail for their ryeong, that is simply a fact.
good news, as the holidays roll around, i’ll have a bit more time on my hands, so :)) and this next one… let’s just say i got very distracted by a certain outfit. 🤐
thank you again 🦇, you’re way too kind to me, the same goes for you too!

ohh the body worship in all of my attention is truly soooo good!! ryujin shamelessly obsessing (and practically drooling) over chaers abs and thighs was so relatable and it was written so so well too it was truly truly amazing. oh and another thing i noticed in dlc is that ryeong rarely calls ryujin ‘ryujin’ and its mostly ‘ryujinnie’ and i dont know if its on purpose or not because we mostly see her call ryujin ‘ryujinnie’ in content 🥹 (and alsoooo dlc ryeong seems to be really into double penetration 😁😁 and will there be a chance of another dlc instalment of ryu knotting ryeong during her heat?)
also its been a while!! i really wanted to send a more coherent and wholesome ask but i just finished all of my attention and all i can think about is yeji (very successfully) getting both her gfs off at the same time. what an insane yet sweet and intimate entry. you’ve done it again rcp😁
-🐈⬛
we have chabs and chigh appreciation around the clock here, she put in the work, the least we should do is to love them in all their glory.
Yesss i’m so glad you picked this up, chaeryeong almost exclusively calls ryujin ‘ryujinnie’ irl (except when she’s annoyed lol) and i love it, i love this little detail so it’s very much on purpose!
chaeryeong’s just making the most out of having two gfs, she’s a resourceful cookie. (as to the knots, i mean… as far as current plans not really? but it’s always possible since it’s part of their lives)
this was lovely 🐈⬛! yeji really does have a way of making brains turn to mush, doesn’t she? anyway, thank you so much for reading, you’re always so nice and kind, and i really appreciate hearing your thoughts. hope you have a good rest of your day!
