rbs ā¶ comments please + daily
HEESEUNG
01. a small, fleeting kiss. his lips touching yours fir a split secondā before he pulls away and catches your eyes. he goes back immediately. passionate, hungry.
02. him laying on top of you after making you fall on the bed. pressing his chest against yours, his heart beat going along with yours, he pins your wrists gently. the feeling of his hot mouth on your neck tingles. he doesnāt stop.
03. he bites his lower lip as he walks towards you. his hands are hidden in his pocket and the wind lifts his hair beautifully. you are a bit taller this timeāgiven the fact that you stand on a stairwell. he doesnāt think twice, he leans in and rest his lips on yours.
JONGSEONG
01. his hands hold your face firmly yet ever so softly. your giggles makes his pulse go faster as he peppers your face with wet kisses after a whispered, āgod, you are so beautiful.ā
02. strong arms hugging your waist, his dulcet lips pecks your shoulders as you weep gently. each contact between your shoulder and his mouth is reassuring, blossoming with comfort.
03. the tiredness written all over his face as he walks towards you. his cravate is already untied, a small smile tugs his lips when he sees your beautiful face. he falls on you, demanding a kiss to remedy to his awful day at work. you indulge.
JAEYUN
01. giggling in each otherās mouth. teeth smashing together as you are both unable to not smile. a kiss filled with electricity that takes over your entire body.
02. connecting your lips to say goodbyeābut missing each other already. pulling away but coming back for another one, ālast oneā he swears, in a hoarse whisper, desperate voice. it isnāt true.
03. soft fingertips pression on your back, from under your shirt. he traces circles, careful and gentle, as the way he kisses. it keeps you in place, too soothed to moveā and even if you could, you would rather kiss him anyway.
SUNGHOON
01. a lingering kiss on your knuckles, keeping eye contact as you gasp softly. the type of contact he knows makes butterflies blossom in your stomach. his action doesnāt come to an end, he trails his lips all the way to your shoulder.
02. him lifting you up effortlessly as you kiss. you wrapping your legs around him. a heated kiss shared on the kitchenās counter as his thumb caresses your upper tight.
03. passionate lips smashing, in the bathroom before you could even get your clothes off your body. it grows more and more delicate as the time goesā itās too addictive, you forget you were supposed to shower.
SUNOO
01. cuddling in bed. you hidden in his arms as he pats the back of your head in an angelic motion. soft kisses planted on the top of your head, multiple kisses on your cheeks and a peck on your mouth.
02. jumping into his arms after a while being away from each other. a warm hug that fills your hearts with growing love. you smooch his cheeks multiple times while he laughs.
03. roseate cheeks as he places soft kisses on your clavicle. he is so sweet, a little tipsy and a bit shyā but he keeps his track. he hold your hips to pull you closer as he bites your skin gently.
JUNGWON
01. teasing lip touch on your pouty lips. ātalk to me, baby,ā he murmurs whereupon he pulls away. each kiss lasting longer and longer, he tells you that he loves you every time he comes back. you end up laughing.
02. in the cool evening, sitting on the couch with your legs in his laps. he strokes your skin, enchanting and dulcet, before kissing your knee without any warning.
03. running away from your friends, sneaking around, hiding somewhere you canāt be seenāor interrupted. sharing secrets pecks as you both chuckle, it is exciting and sweet.
RIKI
01. a bashful expression on the surface on his face. cheeks getting redder as he leans in. a shy, delicate kiss. your eyes meet when you both pull away, fluttering open, still dazed with love. few others kisses are shared.
02. hugging you from behind, strongly and gently. planting multiple kisses on your temple as your sweet laugh fills the room. then you turn your head towards his, your lips touch.
03. him admiring, wonderstruck, your habitā scrunching your nose when you get shy or when someone teases you, even when you are about to laugh. he kisses it once, only when you are all alone, like a secret between the two of you.

2025, lets GO. 18+ Minors dni. A teaser of my thots. Donāt know what's wrong with me and tbh I donāt think weāll ever find out. But I canāt stop thinking about this manās cock. Such a pretty, pretty, super soldier cock. In the most descriptive way imaginable. Imagine a touched starved menace Bucky. The way heād want to be touched, how fucking good it feels when your lips wander to his most sensitive areas. Getting him so horny, heās telling you every damn thing his cock is feeling without holding back because heās so desperate.Ā
āSuck the tip angel, pleaseā The last word nearly melts into a sob because youāve been teasing him for far too long and you know exactly where he wants you.Ā
āYeah? Why should I baby?ā You coo, rubbing the sides of his thighs,Ā āWhatās so special about that, māalready sucking you hereā Your lips drag up his shaft, letting your tongue lave up and down, ignoring the little mess heās making with precum dripping from his slit.Ā
Itās torture.
Beautiful, delicious torture.Ā
āCāmon, please, donāt make me beg doll, itās swollen nāsensitive there, just suck it a little, māso hardāĀ You love the way his thighs squirm on the bed, spreading wider for you because he needs to much more.Ā
āPoor baby, you like it when I suck your cock?
āY-yeah baby, fuck yesā His head is thrown back on the pillow while he chest heaves when you move down to take one of his balls in your mouth, his soft sack throbbing each time you toy with him. Theyāre so full, he has no idea what to do with himself.Ā
Heās fucking aching because there you are, worshipping him in places heād doesnāt expose to just anyone. His length stands tall and proud, a sheen of sweat covering his body because each time a drop of precum slips out, you tap your index finger against his slit to collect it, just to lick it with your fingers.Ā
āAngel, just-please-mph-ā He cut himself off when you brush over his frenulum with your tongue, he didnāt even know he was capable of making such a sound when he whines for more.Ā He was being such a needy thing, you give into his pleading, taking that plush tip between your lips, the cry he lets out makes you drip. āIs it right there, baby? Thatās where you wanted me to suck you?ā
āRight-fuck, right there, donāt-donāt stop, donāt fuckinā stop, please angel, please-shit-ā The rest of his voice dies into a series of whimpers when you begin to nurse on him and he swears his soul leaves his body. He looks down to find your eyes looking up at him, your mouth so full, the veins along his length pulsating.Ā āI can feel it fuckinā swelling in your mouth, itās so hard, fuck itās never been this hardāĀ
You start to take more of him in, letting his tip hit your throat, suppressing a gag and that really sets him off, heād never been this mouthy before, to be fair heād also never gotten head like this before, also he considered himself a gentleman but God you made it so difficult with the way you sucked his soul-
āJust like that baby, sucking my cock so good, so fucking good, my balls are so full of cum for you, māso full nāhard-ā
āDonāt stop-donāt-st-stop, mph, yeah, yeah-ā his eyes struggle to stay open, those pretty nipples hard, his muscles tensed when you move faster,Ā āI canāt-need to be inside you-fuckā
Before you can do anything, he pulls you off his cock and manhandles you onto your back, spreading your legs apart and tossing them over his shoulders. He can smell how fucking soaked you are, slamming his cock in all the way with a brutal pace.
āFUCK J-JAMESā Your nails dig into his skin to hold on for dear life with the way heās selfishly taking, his voice muffled with the way his lips have found their way to your neck, needly sucking between rambling about how good you feel-
āSay my name again, fuck-again doll, need it, wanna hear my name on your lips with my cock in you, sāall for you, fuckinā hard nāaching for you baby, say it-
āJAMES-Oh god- Iā
āFuck, māalready making a messā His hips work faster already feeling his orgam ready to blow,Ā āYou make my cock so fuckinā leaky, can feel it squirting out of you-y/n, I canāt-gonna cum, māgonna cum so fuckinā much-
His hands come to lace with yours, his full body weight dropping while he start to grind into your cunt, burying himself as far as he could go. He doesnāt pull away from your neck hiding away, his breath panting against your skin.
āM-cu-fuck, mācumming-shitā He makes the most obscene moan youāve ever heard, his body stilling with his cock bursting with streams of his seed. You can feel him twitch inside you, the sensation alone enough to make you squeeze around him, clinging onto him as you cum with him,Ā āOh God baby I can feel you -milking my dick,-gonna-oh fuck mācumming again!!ā His hand slams the mattress, giving you a few harsh sloppy thrusts, slamming into you fully unload every bit of him into your pussy.
Now, donāt get me started on how this man spends the night pumping you full, only pulling out (reluctantly) when heās soft. Heās used to having clothes on by now so heās a little self conscious when your eyes drift down to his no longer hard length covered in a mix of you and him. His cheeks warm at the way you look at him, heād about to cover until you lick him clean, heās so fucking sensitive but it feels too good, heās still leaking, his very pink, silky an soft cockhead continuously making a wet mess and if he hadnāt died before, he definitely did now-
So this was in the drafts for years months. I have so many more that I have to finish but one at a time. Also, I really need to post a life upate.Ā

thinking about how one of the most romantic and emotionally devastating things mulder has ever done was see an apollo 11 keychain, buy it, and then take scully out for what will presumably be her last ever birthday and give it to her, saying so casually that it was something that reminded him of her, as if the reason it reminded him of her wasn't the least casual reason in the world. as if he hadn't gifted her that keychain as a way of telling her that, "hey, jsyk, i have been searching for the Truth my entire life, and i used to think i worked better alone, but it wasn't until you came into my life that i realized that if i am ever going to expose all the lies and make the world better, i am going to need help. specifically your help. you aren't some person who i got saddled with who turned out to be a good sounding board; you are the reason i can still do this in the first place. you are the person i turn to when i'm lost. you are the person i trust. you have been my companion on this journey, and if this really is the end for us, i can't let you go without making sure you understand that i see every sacrifice you have ever made for me, and that those sacrifices were not in vain. that i needed you with me. that i need you still. that i will never stop needing you, whether you're here or not"
like, it's his entire ftf monologue contained in a keychain, and while i kind of desperately wish we could have heard him explain its significance with his own words, i do think it's kind of beautiful that she was able to put it together anyway. and the way he watches her as she explains it is so fucking reverent. so fucking in love. like you can just hear him thinking "what am i going to do without you?"
idk man, do you ever just cry?

helloooo i literally ADOREEE your writing and have read ALL of your jjk works istg!!! i was wondering if you had any recs for any series? ive been in a slump lately and i rlly wanna read some new fics but cant find any :((
oh i gotchu. all of these are NSFW (unless otherwise indicated), well written, and untragic ending (uhhh unless i remember wrong, some of these i read a long time ago) because i'm picky and a pussy.
completed
gojo satoru
convergence theory (ao3)
canon au, marriage of convenience au. tension is well written, and gojo is a little shit lke he would be in canon. beautiful and yummy characterization of him as the complex character he is.
shame on me by @starmapz
canon au. i love how gojo is written, and i love trish's writing style, lol. reader has a curse inside her, like sukuna is inside yuji, and gojo comes to take her to jjt. it's very well written the yearning >
games and matches by @lostfracturess
modern au, dad's best friend au. AHHH HE'S SOSOSO FINE IN THIS like i need him so bad. i just love reader's inner conflict and also the drama. i need dilf gojo <3
pandora's box by @c0pkiller
priest au. it's just so interesting to see them battle their impulses and what their religion has told them to do. the pining is chef's kiss, and satoru is realllyyy sweet in this one. i didn't know what to expect when i was reading it but wow it was very, very well written.
moonlight (ao3)
canon au, mating bond au. sort of omega verse but not really. the sexual tension is INSANE and it's genuinely so well written. the angst is delicious and the comfort that follows is even more delicious.
family formation by @dellalyra
found family au in canon universe. i love this one, super fluffy and well written. it's super domestic, and very comforting. i love gojo (as a father and daddy :p)
ukiyo (ao3)

nanami kento
inflitration by @pseudowho
canon au, fake marriage au. i loved the pining in this. It had a lot of my favorite tropes, including forced proximity, the classic making out to avoid getting caught, and fake marriage (to overthrow a cult). also haitch writes this man beautifully so ik it was going to a banger
strangers in love by @ayyy-pee
exes to lover au, and the angst hurts really good. they make up very well by the end and i love this series a lottt. lexi writes conflicts out so beautifully, and im so in love. the end had me on my toes but i was so glad nanami pulled thru <3
your best friend's brother by @delirious-donna
modern au, best friend's brother au. the humor is done amazingly well, and their writing style is amazing. The sexual tension is actually INSANE there were times I was screaming at them to fuck because of the chemistry they had :3
toji fushiguro
unscripted (ao3) by @ryowriten / @kasukuna
modern au, toji's a erotic va in this. ITS SO FUNNy and megumi is super super silly. reader is so me coded (she's a loser basically) and toji is super hot. the sexual tension is amazing and it feels like reading a rom com.

šš donāt smile b. eilish . . .
a/n ā oh i love desperate billie š
smut
you swallow hard before taking a deep breath and opening the door, taking a few steps forward. the faint scent of expensive alcohol fills your lungs before you can even spot a single familiar face in the crowd of strangers laughing and having fun under the dimly lit fluorescent lights.Ā
you smooth the fabric of your cream-colored dress a few times, checking that none of the bows have come undone while you were on your way here.Ā
a few curious glances turn to you before you hear whispers. a sickening feeling makes your stomach drop, putting an uncomfortable pressure on your entire body. it takes some effort to move forward through the crowd. although, it would be better if you stayed there.Ā
your heart clenches painfully when your gaze falls on one of the couches against the wall, where an achingly familiar figure is sitting. long black hair, baggy jeans decorated with incomprehensible patterns. a cap, as always, with the peak backwards. she even dared to wear the shirt you gave her. and now that shirt was being clung to by another girl, sitting in her arms.
you probably would have even been able to walk past her calmly, if a lump of nausea hadnāt risen in your throat when a pair of sky-blue eyes pierced your heart with sharp daggers. your fingertips began to shake.
billieās face contorted in weak surprise as guilt filled her heart. she shifted slightly, no longer keeping her hands on the blonde and nervously tugging at the hem of her short. as if it would change what you saw a few seconds ago.
āhey, beautiful.ā an unfamiliar female voice pulled you out of your painful thoughts, making you turn your head towards a tall, slender brunette holding a glass of expensive champagne in her hand. her fingers fluttered over the bare skin of your shoulder before she leaned in too close.
you couldn't see billie's eyes, but you could definitely feel the capillaries in her eyes about to burst from anger.
"can i buy you a drink?" her voice was soft, drenched in fake tenderness that immediately pushed you away. unlike billie, you weren't going to make her jealous or anything like that.
you gently placed your hands on the stranger's chest, gently pushing her away from you. your eyes followed her face before you apologized and told her that you weren't interested in meeting new people. thankfully, she wasn't pushy.
your head turned towards the large christmas tree decorating the spacious room, so you didn't see how quickly and desperately billie jumped up from the couch, almost running towards you to grab your hand and lead you into the nearest empty room. she gently pushed you against the wall before checking that all the other doors were closed.
"billie.." you take an awkward step forward, trying to calm your wildly beating heart, threatening to fly out of your chest. she looks at you with desperate eyes, taking a few more steps until you are centimeters from your body. lips almost touch, breathtaking.
"please, don't say anything" her nose flutters over your neck, only a few seconds before her lips touch your soft skin. she whimpered from the taste, lowering her hands to your waist, then pulling you to her, feeling you even through the layers of clothes.
"i live by thinking about us" her lips trace your collarbone, leaving a small bite, not causing any discomfort, but making you sigh, feeling how painful it becomes to breathe. āitās the only thing that can make me smileā your hands fall to her shoulders, sliding higher up her neck, making you desperate to feel her beneath your fingertips as you pull her closer to you.Ā
ādonāt smile because it happenedā you whisper softly, desperately, but every inflection of your voice vibrates in her ears, making her mouth go dry. billie straightens up now, looking into your eyes with a forbidden desire that eats her up from the inside. tears threaten to roll down her cheeks. ācry because itās overā
she purses her lips, leaning forward to press her forehead to yours. hands meet between your bodies, fingers intertwining, clinging desperately to each other. you wanted, craved, starved. it was higher and more complex than normal human feelings.
lips breaking in a passionate, fiery kiss, filling your hearts with love and pain at the same time. memories of how she held this girl, how she let her cling to her, like she really belonged to her. it wasn't true. you both knew it.
"you supposed to think about me every time you hold her" your voice turns cold, putting like a hundred pounds on her heart. she kneels down, not caring at all about the bruises that will remain after.
she doesn't even have to touch your body for your hand to fall down, tugging the cap off her head and tangling your fingers in her long hair. she gives in to the grip, slightly lifting the hem of your dress to cover your thighs with wet kisses, running her tongue over the milky skin.
"your name on my tongue, even when i call her" the confession makes your insides give in to anticipation, throwing your head back against the wall. your breath catches as she slowly, almost physically torturously, pulls your underwear down your legs, holding your hand as you step out of it.
like this is all happening for the first time again. like she's touching your body like this for the first time.
"billie..." a heavy sigh as she gently places your leg on her shoulder, her cheek pressing against your bare thigh, making you shudder in anticipation. your head was spinning, a knot already forming in your stomach, just from the sight of her beautiful face between your legs. she was your girl.
fingers dig deeper into her hair as she slowly runs her tongue along your slit, collecting the wetness that formed just from missing her. she moans at the taste, desperately clutching your waist to bury her face between your thighs.
her tongue works fast, hitting all the sensitive spots and making you moan into your palm. she knew your body better than you did. only she could make your chest feel this way. only she.
"please, look at me.." her voice is muffled by your flesh as you look down, moving your hand to wipe a few tears from her eyes. billie sighs in relief, not taking her mouth away from your sweetness for a second more.
your heel scrapes her clothed back, only igniting a new flame between two needy bodies. billie loved your scratches on her strong back, your little hickeys on the underside of her neck. anything to make everyone know that she belongs to you. her heart, mind, soul, and body. all yours.
her lips wrap around your clit, which is the final point, causing you to arch your back, pressing your pussy even harder against her face. your eyes roll back into the back of your head. your fingers hold her hair tightly. your juices drip down her chin, onto her t-shirt.
ādamn..ā your body goes limp, but billie rises in time, hugging you tightly. her arms hold you securely upright before she sits you down on the nearest surface, handing you your panties with a playful smile. ācan you handle this yourself, princess?ā
butterflies flutter in your stomach at the nickname, but you simply giggle and return the item of underwear back to your body. āthank you,ā the voice is quiet, intimate. billie kneels, resting her chin on your thigh. her gaze is piercing again, loving. she is so in love with you.
"don't wanna be without you" she whispers, making that sad face that made you melt every time. your fingers reach for her hand, gently wrapping around it. billie helps you up, an arm around your waist, before your body is in her arms.
"your girlfriend will see us"
"you're my girlfriend"

hi hi there! Newcomer to your blog here, and I just wanna say that I love love love your writing sm, it makes me warm and happy and I wanna consume it like good soup. I saw that youāre looking for Spencer requests (my beautiful beloved baby) and I was wondering if I could just request a classic friends to lovers where the reader is a member of the team, and gets hurt on a case and thatās what makes Spencer realize? Any format youād like. This might be a bit tmi but I just got broken up with and honestly fictional men are the only thing getting me through this rn, and seeing you were taking requests was just straight up happiness. Thank you!
this is so sweet what if i cry :,) i hope this helps you at least a little bit (especially since this has been sitting in my drafts for a MINUTE) <3 you will get through this my love (spencer thinks so too!) | 0.7k words!! my first spencer fic so bare with me š
tw mention of a knife and a small injury !
Youāre no stranger to taking risks. Nobody at the BAU is. Itās practically written into your job descriptions. Split-second decisions, no room for mistakes.
Only, usually they seem to pay off. Mostly. This time, you arenāt so lucky.
After three days of profiling and trying to catch this unsub, of new victims and suspects and secrets uncovered by Garcia, youāve finally found him. Apprehending an unsub seems to either be the easiest or toughest part of a case.
This time around, itās the latter. Heās stubborn, and smarter than youād like to admit, and when you think youāve got an opening, the upper hand, that one wrong move proves you wrong.
Itās so quick, the way he grabs your wrist and twists your arm behind your back harshly, a pained groan escaping your mouth before you can suppress it. The way the team all springs into action quickly, talking to him calmly, Hotch at the forefront.
And the look on Spencerās face. The pleading in his eyes that he canāt seem to control.
Heās who you look to first. Who you keep looking at, because you think if anyone could keep you calm in this moment, if anyone could make you believe youāll be okay, itās him.
Thereās a knife held to your neck, a cruel grip on your arm, and still, you look at Spencer.
āI wonāt cut her if you let me go,ā the unsub says. You squeeze your eyes shut before blinking them back open.
You know Hotch has a plan, and if he doesnāt, then Emily does, and so on. Theyāre all incredible, and thereās not a part of you that thinks they wonāt get you out of this, but your heart still pounds, your stomach still twists in fear.
āGo ahead,ā Hotch says.
āHotch-ā Spencerās voice is quiet but sharp. He trusts Aaron, he always has, but you arenāt something he wants to gamble.
āYou wonāt get far,ā Hotch continues.
You find Spencerās eye and nod at him, so slight that heād be the only one to pick up on it, since heās paying such close attention to you. Under different circumstances, you might feel your heart flutter from it.
Sure enough, Aaron does have a plan, and before you can really process what heās said or done to get through to him, the unsub lets you go with a harsh push, and the first place you go is into Spencerās waiting arms.
āTake her outside, Reid, weāve got this,ā Morgan says quickly. Spencer doesnāt fight him on it.
He walks you out with one arm tight around your waist and the other stabilizing your wrist. His hands are far kinder than the ones that had been on you moments ago, and you let him hold some of your weight until youāre settled sitting in the back of one of the ambulances on scene.
Spencer watches them wrap your wrist with a tensor bandage, watches them assure you that itās just a sprain, that youāre otherwise injury-free. He holds your good hand the entire time. Maybe too tightly.
You both wait until the paramedics are done and have walked away to help somebody else before speaking.
āWell, that was fun,ā you say. Your instincts are always to play things down, to hide behind jokes. Still, you let yourself lean your head against Spencerās shoulder.
āNo, it wasnāt,ā he says. The hand that isnāt holding yours covers your bouncing knee. āI know a lot about odds, and they werenāt in our favor back there.ā
āIt was mostly my fault, probably. I let him get too close.ā
āWe arrived seconds later than we should have. That car slowed us down in the intersection on the way, and then the rest was off.ā He tells you. Comforting you the way he knows how; with the facts. āTime is what went wrong. Not you. Never you.ā
You pick your head up and turn your head to look at him, his hair falling around his ears, his eyes still worried but soft. āNever, huh? Iām gonna remember that.ā
Reid squeezes your good hand, his pinky running across your wrist to find your pulse, like heās making sure youāre really okay. āI donāt think Iāve ever been quite so afraid on the job.ā
āNot even when youāre the one being held like that?ā you ask.
āNo,ā he tells you. āNot even then.ā

Age: 20
Height: 166/167cm but iām not sure lol (that should be 5ā6 in freedom units)
Grade: 1st year in university
Confidence: 3/10 in general, but iām a very good actor, others always say i look exceptionally confident. When iām dancing and/or on stage my confidence is 10/10, literally nothing else makes me feel so alive. (This year i havenāt been able to dance at all and i miss it terribly.)
Happiness: honestly? 2/10 and i canāt see the score getting better, iāve been feeling lower and lower.

Sexuality: pretty sure iām bi, and i think iām more attracted to women sexually. Men too, but mostly when iām drunk.
Romantic: Bi, although i think iād prefer to date a woman.
Fav food: mm idk honestlyā¦ it used to be ice cream, but lately iām not finding any joy/pleasure in eating, even when it comes to my old favorites. So that sucks ig.
Fav show: i love Gumball and Young Sheldon (bittersweet nostalgia) and my all time favorite series is Devilman Crybaby. It always makes me cry, itās such a beautiful story, and the OST is simply incredible.
Fav movie: NausicaƤ by Hayao Miyazaki (saw it first when i was 9, and it never fails to make me cry to this day) and Moulin Rouge, which iād discovered recently: watched it drunk with a friend and got teary-eyed haha (the visual and choreographed storytelling is insane, if nothing else, watch the Roxanne choreo)
Fav song: When the sun hits by Slowdive is my absolute favorite rn, it makes me tear up. Close seconds are Doll by Shrimp, Leach boy by Crywank, Black out days by Phantogram, Solitaire by FiancĆ©, Tip Toes by Halfā¢alive (they all make me cry lol)
Fav artist: Grimes, i love her albums up to 2020, and iām obsessed with her fashion sense, tattoos and just her whole look in general (less so abt her politics/behavior/use of aiā¦) Other artists i love are Slowdive, Interpol, David Bowie, Tame Impalaā¦ just to name a few, but i could go on forever, iām a huge music lover.
Relationship status: single, i would love to have a girlfriend and to make her happy.
Fav color: a comforting and sensual burgundy, but i also love a chilling icy-blue that makes me feel cold.
Fav season: maybe springā¦ itās magical to see the world and nature come alive. But lately, iāve started to appreciate how breathtaking a cold and barren winter is. So maybe iām leaning more towards winter.
Followers: 115 but about 57 of them donāt have a title/pfp, so i suspect some these might be bots lol
Wow this got unnecessarily lengthy jfc. And shit, iāve learned that all my fav things make me cry what the hell. This got so pathetic for what?? (.. at least i tried being honest for once in my life lol)
Tagging you @sailorzzzrenn @miyamiwu @ze-gnomo-das-novinha if youāre interested, but absolutely no pressureā”

RAFE CAMERON ā¢ iām sorry
x KOOK!FEM!reader ā¢ MASTERLIST
SUMMARY: based on this request - you and rafe end in bad terms, he just wants to talk to you, but when he tries to, the people who he owes money to decide to pass by.
WORD COUNT: +2.6k
GENRE: angsty
CONTENT WARNING: rafe is a MESS, mentions of blood, gunshot and hospital!
rafe was a storm brewing beneath clear skies. to anyone else, he looked like just another spoiled son of the outer banks elite, pulling into the country club in his sleek black suv. but behind the wheel, his knuckles were white against the leather, his jaw set like stone. he hadnāt sleptānot really. every time he closed his eyes, he saw your face, the way your expression had crumpled when heād told you it was over.
and oh, the memory gutted him.
he killed the engine, sitting in the stillness of the parking lot, but his mind was anything but calm. he could still hear the way his own voice had cracked, the way heād nearly broken right there in front of you. āthis isnāt working anymore,ā heād said, the words like acid on his tongue. āyou deserve better, okay? someone whoāsā¦ good. and thatās not me.ā
you had begged him to explain, your voice trembling, tears welling in your eyes. but he couldnāt. he didnāt think he deserved you, not your kindness, not your laughter, not the way you looked at him like he was worth something.
how could someone like youāsweet, soft, angelicālove someone like him? a man who couldnāt even love himself?
the thought made his stomach twist.
rafe had spent his entire life learning how to put up walls, to shove people away before they could see what was really underneath. and for a while, heād let himself believe that maybe you were different. maybe you could love him despite his sharp edges. but the closer you got, the more he panicked.
so, heād done what he always did: ruined it before you could.
and now, here he was, sitting in the parking lot of the country club, knowing full well youād be inside with your friends, laughing over mimosas like nothing had happened. he hated himself for wanting to see you, for wanting to make sure you were okay.
he shoved the door open and stepped into the sunlight, running a hand through his hair. the familiar hum of the club surrounded him: tennis balls thwacking against rackets, the chatter of the wealthy, the clink of glasses on trays. it was all so routine, so normal, and yet he felt like he was walking into a minefield.
he found you immediately.
you were seated at a table by the terrace, a vision of effortless beauty in a sundress, your smile lighting up the space around you. it was like nothing had changed, like you hadnāt spent the last week crying over the mess heād made of you both.
but rafe saw it. the way your smile didnāt quite reach your eyes, the way you seemed distracted even as your friends talked around you.
he swallowed hard, his chest tightening. what the hell was he doing here?
he should leave. turn around, get back in his car, and drive until the ache in his chest was nothing more than a distant memory. but his feet wouldnāt move.
because as much as he wanted to pretend heād let you go for your sake, the truth was heād been lying to himself.
heād pushed you away because he was scared. because he couldnāt handle the thought of you realizing what a mess he was and leaving him first.
and now, seeing you here, pretending you were okay, rafe realized he mightāve made the biggest mistake of his life.
but what could he do about it now?
the laughter at the table dulled in your ears. you werenāt really paying attention to your friendsā conversationāhadnāt been for weeks, if you were honest. a distraction here, a small joke there, but it all felt like going through the motions. the ache in your chest hadnāt faded since rafe had broken things off, no matter how much you told yourself youād get over it.
you pushed your chair back, standing up abruptly. ābe right back,ā you said, offering a small, tight smile. āleft something in my car.ā
no one questioned you as you walked away from the terrace, your sandals clicking softly against the stone path. the parking lot wasnāt far, just a short walk past the manicured hedges that shielded the clubās members from the sight of asphalt and parked vehicles.
the air was warm, the sun glaring brightly overhead as you unlocked your car and leaned in to retrieve your bag. as you straightened, dusting off your dress, you heard your name, loud and insistent.
āhey! wait! y/n!ā
you turned, blinking in surprise. rafe was there, striding toward you like a man on a mission. his usual swagger was gone, replaced with something frantic, almost desperate.
ārafe?ā you said, your brows furrowing. āwhat are youāā
āi need toājust, listen to me,ā he interrupted, his voice hurried, his hands lifting as if he could reach out and stop you from walking away. āi know i screwed up. okay? i know i hurt you, but, iām sorāā
the roar of a motorcycle cut him off, the sound ripping through the air like a warning.
you turned just in time to see itāa sleek black bike weaving recklessly through the parked cars, the riderās face obscured by a helmet. but it wasnāt the bike that made your blood run cold; it was the glint of metal in the riderās hand.
a gun.
ārafe!ā the man shoutedābarry, his voice rough and full of venom. āi want my money, country club!ā
and then the shots came.
the first shattered the quiet serenity of the lot, followed by screams from the terrace as people dove for cover. rafeās eyes went wide, and he grabbed your arm, pulling you toward him as he ducked behind a nearby car.
āstay down!ā he yelled, his body shielding yours.
but he wasnāt fast enough.
a sharp, burning pain tore through your side, and you gasped, stumbling backward. your knees buckled, and you hit the ground hard, the asphalt scraping against your palms.
āy/n!ā Rafeās voice was panicked, raw, as he dropped to his knees beside you. his hands were on you instantly, trying to find the source of the blood. āno, no, nāstay with me. youāre okay, baby. youāre okay!ā
you tried to speak, tried to say his name, but the words wouldnāt come. all you could do was look up at him, your hands trembling as you held them out, crimson staining your skin.
rafeās face twisted in anguish, his eyes wet with unshed tears as he pressed his hands over the wound, desperate to stop the bleeding. āno, no, no! donāt do this! donāt you dare do this to me!ā
you managed a weak smile, your lips forming his name even as your vision blurred.
āstay with me,ā rafe begged, his voice cracking, his hands trembling. āplease, angel. i canātāi canāt lose you.ā
the world around you began to fade, the edges growing dim and quiet, but the last thing you saw was rafeās face, etched with raw fear and heartbreak.
the wail of sirens pierced the air, growing louder with each passing second, but to rafe, it was nothing more than background noise. his whole world had narrowed to the sight of you lying in front of him, your blood seeping into the cracks of the asphalt.
he was crouched over you, his hands trembling as he pressed them to your wound. tears streamed down his face, his chest heaving with gasping, hiccupping sobs. he couldnāt think, couldnāt breathe. the only thing grounding him was the faint rise and fall of your chest. you were still aliveābut barely.
āstay with me,ā he whispered, his voice hoarse and broken. ādonātādonāt leave me, angel. please.ā
āiām so sorry.ā
the paramedics arrived in a rush, their voices calm but firm as they moved him aside. rafe resisted, his hands refusing to let go of you even as they gently pushed him back.
āno, iāi canātāā he stammered, his voice cracking. āshe needsāsheāā
ālet them do their job, rafe!ā a familiar voice barked.
rafe turned, his tear-streaked face meeting sherrif shoupeās sharp gaze. the man was striding toward him, his face a mask of fury and concern. āwhat the hell happened here, rafe?!ā
rafe couldnāt answer. he shook his head, his throat tightening as more sobs wracked his body. āitāsāsheās hurt. iāGod, i couldnātāā
shoupeās eyes narrowed, and he crouched down beside you as the paramedics worked, his tone softening as he muttered, ājesus christ.ā He stood and turned to the medics. āget her stabilized. i want updates the second youāve got her in the rig.ā
the paramedics nodded, moving quickly but carefully. they placed an oxygen mask over your face and secured you to the stretcher, your head lolling to the side. rafe surged forward, his hands reaching for you.
āiām going with her!ā he cried, his voice desperate.
āno, youāre not,ā shoupe said firmly, stepping in his path. āson, listen to me. you need to calm the hell down and tell me whatās going on here.ā
rafe shook his head violently, his tears falling faster. āi canāt leave her! i canātānot again.ā
shoupeās hands landed on his shoulders, steady but firm. ātheyāre taking her to the hospital, and you can follow. but you need to get it together, son. right now.ā
rafeās breath hitched, and he nodded shakily, his entire body trembling. as the ambulance doors slammed shut and sped away, his knees almost buckled, but shoupe helped him keeping him upright.
āwhat aboutāwhat about everyone else?ā rafe choked out, his voice barely audible. ādid anyone else get hurt?ā
shoupeās expression darkened, his jaw tightening. ānobody else was touched. this aināt random, rafe. it was aimed for you.ā
rafeās heart dropped into his stomach, his mind spinning. āwhat?ā
shoupeās eyes were hard as he stared him down. ānow, how ābout you tell me what the hell is goinā on, huh? who the hell are you running from?ā
rafe swallowed hard, his pulse roaring in his ears. the weight of the sheriffās words sank in, his guilt and fear coiling tightly in his chest. he couldnāt lose youānot now. but he couldnāt run from this any longer either.
rafe paced the hospital waiting room like a caged animal, his fingers tangling in his hair every few steps. the fluorescent lights above hummed faintly, the sterile air thick with the smell of antiseptic. every tick of the clock on the wall felt like an eternity, each second driving another nail into his chest.
he couldnāt stop replaying the moment in his headāthe sound of the gunshots, the way your body had crumpled, the blood on his hands. his throat tightened, and he had to swallow back the urge to scream.
ācāmon,ā he muttered under his breath, his voice raw. ācāmon, tell me something.ā
the double doors to the ER swung open, and he whipped around, hope flaring briefly. but it wasnāt a doctorāit was sarah. and john b was right behind her.
her face was pale, her eyes wide with panic, but the moment she saw him, her expression twisted into something between fury and anguish.
āyou let her get shot?!ā she yelled, storming toward him.
rafe barely had time to open his mouth before her palm cracked against his cheek in a sharp slap. the sting burned, but he didnāt flinch, didnāt move. he just stood there, his head bowed, accepting it.
āyou were supposed to protect her!ā sarahās voice broke, tears welling up in her eyes. before rafe could even process it, she was pulling him into a fierce hug.
the force of it nearly knocked him back, and for a moment, he just stood there, frozen. then, slowly, his arms came up, wrapping around her tightly.
āiām sorry,ā he rasped, his voice cracking. āiām so sorry. i didnātāi didnāt mean for this to happen. i swear.ā
she clung to him like she was holding on for dear life, her fingers clutching the back of his shirt. āyouāre such an idiot,ā she mumbled into his shoulder, her voice muffled. ābut i know you didnāt mean it. i know.ā
john b stood a few feet away, his hands shoved into his pockets, his face tight with worry. āhiw bad is it?ā he asked quietly.
rafe pulled away from sarah, his hands trembling as he wiped at his face. āi donāt know,ā he admitted, his voice barely audible. ātheyāve been in there for hours. they wonāt tell me anything.ā
sarah sniffled, wiping her tears. āsheās strong,ā she said firmly, as if saying it aloud would make it true. āsheāll make it.ā
rafe nodded, but the doubt lingered in his eyes. he didnāt deserve your forgiveness, didnāt deserve a second chanceābut he prayed to every god he could think of that youād pull through.
because losing you wasnāt something he could survive.
the three of them sat in tense silence, the cold plastic chairs of the waiting room doing nothing to ease the ache in their bodies or the weight on their hearts. rafe was hunched forward, his elbows on his knees, staring at the scuffed floor tiles. his hands were clasped tightly together, his knuckles white.
sarah sat beside him, her legs bouncing nervously, while john b leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, trying and failing to look calm. every so often, someone would glance at the doors to the ER, hoping for a sign, a nurse, a doctorāanything.
finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors swung open. a nurse stepped out, her calm expression betraying no urgency.
āare you here for y/n?ā she asked gently, glancing between them.
rafe shot to his feet so fast his chair tipped over and clattered to the floor. āyes,ā he said, his voice hoarse. āis sheāā
sSheās stable,ā the nurse said, holding up a hand to reassure him. āsheās not awake yet, but her vitals are strong. the doctor would like to speak with you, but you can see her now if youād like.ā
rafe didnāt wait for further explanation. he was already moving, practically jogging through the doors as the nurse gestured for him to follow. sarah and john b exchanged a look, then trailed after him, keeping a respectful distance.
the nurse led them to a quiet room at the end of the hallway. the sight of you hit rafe like a freight train.
you were lying in the hospital bed, looking worn out but peaceful, your chest rising and falling steadily beneath the thin blanket. an iv was hooked to your arm, and a monitor beeped rhythmically beside you.
rafe barely registered the nurse speaking to sarah and john b, or the doctor stepping in to explain your condition. his world had narrowed to you.
he moved to your bedside, his hands trembling as he reached for yours. your skin was warm, soft, and the simple touch made him exhale a shuddering breath he didnāt know heād been holding.
āyouāre okay,ā he whispered, his voice breaking. āyouāre gonna be okay.ā
his thumb brushed gently over your knuckles as he sank into the chair beside the bed, his knees almost buckling from relief. he didnāt care about the tubes, the machines, or the doctorās voice in the background.
all that mattered was that you were stable. you were alive.
he leaned forward, his forehead nearly resting against your hand, as silent tears slid down his cheeks. āiām so sorry,ā he murmured, his voice barely audible. āiām so sorry, my angel. iāll never let this happen again. i promise.ā
the doctorās voice faded into the background, and sarah stepped closer, resting a hand on rafeās shoulder. he didnāt look up, didnāt move.
he just held your hand, clinging to you like a lifeline, silently begging you to come back to him.

5.3 ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS
Donāt read under the cut if you havenāt done the new archon quest!!
I literally canāt stop crying. The entire last part with Capitano the tears kept pouring down my face. Yes Iām happy he got what heās been longing for (his whole speech about being affected hurt) BUT IM SO SAD!!! š (I did it last night and after sleeping Iām still sad)
But him getting praised as a hero LITERALLY MAKES ME SO HAPPY BUT CRY EVEN MORE. (The fatui at memorial and Ororon always talking about him with admiration AND how Capitano went to Ororon to help him find everyoneš„¹)
I also still have hope heās going to be playable someday. Since they didnāt kill him, I feel like itās going to come up when Xbalanque comes in and gets introduced. Because in all logic and honesty thereās still gotta be something coming up in the future where he is still needed since again they didnāt kill him. I also feel like when we met Guthred in the night kingdom and when he attacked with a big ice attack, that can be used or be similar for Capitano.
I am happy Capitano got his goal achieved and helped all the souls he wanted (also the part of his face we saw WAS BEAUTIFUL, the clip moved too fast for me to take a screenshot but Ik Iāll be getting edits and pictures on my feed so Iām not too worried) his heart was literally souls he wanted to save, he is so selfless.
Capitano is the definition of a honorable and respectful man. Like him asking the Tsaritsa to let him not collect the gnosis because it didnāt fit with his ideals and sense of justice??? HES SO PERFECT I CANT-
ALSO him going off about how he basically found a loop hole in the system with his immortality. Then telling Mauvika she deserves to live in the peaceful world she created and her saying she lost āthis battleā
I love you Capitano and I canāt wait till youāre playable. Thank you for being the best part of Natlan for meš©µ
Feel free to talk to me about himš«¶š¼

DONATE HERE
Every morning when I wake up, I check for a message from Khaled, Ghadaās young brother who helps her run the campaign. Together, we coordinate campaign efforts and outreach. He is only one year older than me; he should be enjoying his life like me, having fun and making the stupid mistakes that come with being a young adult. Before the war, Khaled had just received his bachelorās degree and was planning to get married and study abroadānow he must fight to save his entire family from bombs, illness, starvation, and the bitter cold.
And yet, do you want to know the first message Khaled sends me every morning? He asks me how I am, if I am happy. He praises you all endlessly, the people who have helped him and his family. He asks if the people who have been kind enough to make posts for his campaign are doing well.
We are now over a year into the Gaza Genocide, but it has not stripped Khaled of his kindness or his hope. I am continually touched, sometimes to the point of tears, at how thoughtful and sweet he is, despite everything he has seen and continues to go through. I want you to take pride in the fact that this true for YOU as well. I have seen even more beauty and generosity in friends I already held dear to me, and the wonderfulness of strangers whom I will never talk to. I am in awe at the support you all have shown, not just to the Al-Anqars, but to all Gaza campaigns. You are making a difference in the lives of so many people. Despite the horrors we see on our screens every day, the headlines we read, the images that haunt our mindsāthe world is full of love. You have proved it.
As the new year quickly approaches, I want to thank you all for helping the Al-Anqars, from the very bottom of my heart. You are helping the Al-Anqar siblings (Khaled, Ghada, Mohamed, and Ahed), their parents (Nabil and Fatima), and their little ones (Lama, Nabil, Eman, Amir, Fatima, and Noor).
(Khaled and his nephew Amir ā¬ļø)
So, I do not mean to scare you when I say this, but time truly is of the essence, now more than ever. Ceasefire talks are stalling, the Rafah border crossing is still closed, and babies are freezing to death in their parentsā arms. Khaled tells me of the biting winter winds and the burning cold that seeps through the nylons they have taped over the windows. The half-constructed school they have taken refuge in receives no aid. They are a mere kilometer from āthe corridor of death,ā or the Netzarim Checkpoint. I wake up every morning fearing the worst for them, but, thank God, they are still here, still fighting.
Donations of just ā¬5 make an entire world of difference. These funds go towards food and supplies, which have risen to astronomical prices, as well as saving for the cost of crossing the Rafah border, provided that corridor reopens. The goal is ā¬20,000, and we are at ā¬7,736. When I began helping this family on December 16th, it was at ā¬5,801. I am inviting you to donate and share as much as you can to reach the stretch goal of ā¬8,250 in the next two weeks. I think this is more than attainable if we all come together. Youāve done it before!
Again, Iād like to thank everyone for their enduring support of this campaign, and I wish everyone the best as we come into the new year. Please, please, please consider helping my lovely Khaled and his family.
ā¬7,736 / ā¬20,000 - 39% ā STRETCH GOAL: ā¬8,250

Thank you so much for all your interest and love for this series. I do hope that you can find some joy, maybe even healing and reflection in the story š«¶ I want to thank my friend @remmykinsff againāthese extra stories (the notes) are for you again. Without you, Iād just have given up on this couple all together as finishing writing it, but because of all of your questions (I really loved each one), I felt it would make so much sense to expand on a few things. As well as give the characters more healing! To Remmy; thank you for being there for me, making me blush, laugh and cry tooāyou are the friendliest, kindest, most lovable person Iāve met. Youāre beautiful and wonderful. I could honestly keep going. You might not see it yourself, and you might blush and allābut youāre all of those things š
Thank you for being you, and for being there š«š
Songs of the Heart (m) | pjm | series masterlist
When your landlord hikes the rent on your city apartment, you escape to the outskirts of town, trading the urban sprawl for the quiet hum of a modest house. But serenity takes on a different tune hereāday after day, the air carries hauntingly beautiful melodies from your neighborās home, songs so raw and aching they seem to tell of a heartbreak too deep to heal. Worried for the unseen soul behind the music, you muster the courage to knock on their door, only to find Park Jimināa famous singer-songwriter whose voice has graced countless hearts. But the man before you is more than his songs: an enigma wrapped in melancholy, a single father with a story veiled in mystery. As his melodies weave into your days, you canāt help but wonder: can you uncover the truths hidden in his lyrics, or will his heart remain a song you cannot play?
šø Pairing: jimin x reader (female) šø Characters: Jimin, OC (reader āY/Nā), Yoongi (readerās older brother), Namjoon (readerās best friend), Hwa-Young (Jiminās daughter), Jiminās parents, OCās parents, Seokjin (as Jiminās manager). šø AUs: musician!au (not completely idol!au), single dad!au, slice of life!au šø Trope: strangers to lovers / neighbors to lovers šø Genres: slow burn romance / fluff / angst / smut / comedy šø Rating: mature/explicit/R18Ā (this is mature/explicit content, so minors, please do not interact.) šø Word count: 70.4k šø Warnings/tags: past heartache and small misunderstandings, mention of past bad relationships, crying, pain (emotional), hurt (emotional), stereotypical assumptions, protective and oblivious big brother Yoongi, Hwa-Young is so cute š, mention of grief and sadness, past character death (Jiwoo), just a lot of FEELS, itās a bit sad, but also very heartwarming, mention of past illness, mention of past domestic abuse (hitting), mention of past emotional abuse, love (so much fucking love itās insane), dancing (yes, itās a warning), detective big brother Yoongi (heās not actually a detective), a filler chapter, fluff, small scandals, angst, kissing, heated moments, smut, unprotected sex in the form of; biting, marking (hickies), multiple orgasms, cum eating, cockwarming, dirty talk, nasty smut, filthy smut, praise kink, oral (male and female receiving), cum licking, hair pulling, scratching, soft aftercare, possessiveness, pussy rubbing, ruined garments, overstimulation, begging, fingering, a lot of feeling, so, so, so much fluff and love š šø Status: finished! š„³ A chapter will be released every Sunday! šø Read on AO3? [link] šø Read or listen to the teasers? [link] šø Authorās note: Iāve had this idea floating around in my head since Jiminās Muse album droppedāand the title? It hit me like a lightning bolt. But the plot? Oh, that took some time. Months, actually. The original idea just wasnāt it, you know? But then, on this one random November day, the characters finally spoke to me. And I swear, it was like I had to write it. Originally, this was supposed to be a one-shot, maybe a two-shot if I got a little carried away, but... the characters and this story are too precious, too delicate, to rush. Itās like planting a little seed and waiting for it to bloom into something beautiful šø I can already feel it taking shape, and I want you to join me on this small rideādonāt worry, the chapters wonāt be as long as my usual brain dumps (and there wonāt be too many, promise!) I really hope you fall for this sweet, tender, and oh-so-heartfelt version of Jimin as much as I have š„¹š This whole series is a birthday gift for my lovely friend @remmykinsff š„¹š

A/n: Okay, now guys! Enough fluffy fluff, we need some angst as well, canāt live in pure fantasy, right? Canāt stay in shadows for too long, gotta show you the real me. So basicalllyyy thereās this amazing song in my native language that was a big inspiration for this fanfic. Maybe Iāll write a part two later, maybe not, who knows šš¼
It wasnāt winterās fault, nor snowfalls or the frosts.
It was her fault, the girl that I brought roses.
Ā
What?
Ā
Ā
He knew it wasnāt his Zaun. He just knew.Ā
Ā
Ā
But it was Zaun, was it not?
Ā
Maybe it was, but not the one he got used to. It was one where you would still cling to him like you used to back then, at the times when things were just a tad bit easier due to you.Ā
Was it a dirty trick? A way to get him vulnerable?! He was about to shove you away, but he couldnāt. It was like trance itself captured him. You felt so wrong against him, gosh, you felt so right.
Just the way your body was against his, the massive, stupid grin and the healthy look on your face were enough to make his defences against you crumble to the ground. Why was he even putting them up in the first place when he knew they wouldnāt bring him anywhere? This was stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!! Ekko felt like he was about to cry, his mouth dry and wide open.Ā
But he knew it wasnāt a trick, not when he saw Jinx entering the room, but at the same time it wasnāt Jinx? It was her, but not her.. and it was you but not you. Jinx wasnāt Jinx anymore, she wasnāt the girl with crazy blue hair, but just a decent, beautiful girl with little pigtails.Ā
āAre you two guys ready? We will be late, yāknow?!ā She called out with a small pout, hands on her hips as she tried to look intimidating.
āWeāre going, alright, Pow? Geez, youāre so impatient! Nerves kicking in?ā You chided her with an eye roll, your arms still securely wrapped around Ekkoās neck.
Wait, Pow? Like Powder? This was-
āReady.. for what..?ā He stuttered out, fingertips twitching as he still didnāt return the heart aching hug.
āThe competition? Hello, Ekko? Donāt tell me you forgot all of the stuff we rehearsed-ā She slammed a hand over her mouth, ready to suffocate him as she trembled with anticipation.
āPowder! Relax! He knows everything, you two did everything you could, now cāmon, letās be real, you two are the best out there.ā You scoffed, resting your head on Ekkoās shoulder, closing his mouth with a hand.
āC-competition..?ā His voice wavered, putting a light hand on your upper arm.
āYeah, the competition, but donāt worry.. everything's gonna be good and lovely. Youāll show them everything you got, love..ā Your soft voice caused Ekkoās eye to twitch, but gosh how he missed those times. He should be despising you for leaving him, despising for not even knowing why you left. But the next thing he knew was that his bed was cold and Scar was telling him that you joined Jinx, your childhood best friend. It was almost terrifying how similar you looked to Jinx, or Powder. Nose, eye shape, goodness, you looked more like Jinx than Vi herself.Ā
āYouāll ace it, nerd boy..ā You giggled, pecking his cheek gently.
His breath was laboured, he didnāt understand. Why was he here? Was this another universe? A universe where you didnātā¦ leave..?Ā
He put a gentle hand to your cheek, a touch so gentle as if he was holding something preciousā¦ But he was indeed holding something fragile, he was holding you. Not the crazy girl that went along with an even crazier one. But one that was gentle as a flower, hair soft and beautiful, a girl that was still his.
All of the talks and conversations went over his head, his focus was only on you. His lips formed an āoā while he listened to you talk, he didnāt even care about what you were talking about, you could be talking crap about him, about his hair and about his whole attire and heād still be in awe. Claggor, Mylo, Powder, Benzoā¦ couldĀ this universe get even better? They were all alive, all sane and healthyā¦ He was waiting for someone to punch him, for you and Jinx to take out a bomb or a gun and say that this was all a prank. Your beautiful lips form into a crooked grin and say that he believed once again.
Ā
The time of the competition was coming closer, and the voice of Jinx- Powder was getting louder, her hands gripping your arms as she shook you, yelling that she was nervous and that she forgot everything.
Your hearty laugh was making his head spin, he didnāt deserve this. The other Ekko was supposed to be here, he was supposed to hold you, he was supposed to have you in his arms, but Ekko would never pull away himself, only over his dead body.
His eyesight started to blur though, his blinking getting more rapid as he tried to keep himself sane. Weird noises started to fill his ears, hot pink pictures filling his gaze, wrong images playing in front of him.
Was this the side effect of the universe travelling?
Ā The room started to flash weird lights, making his eyes squint. Your laughter got even louder, but not the sweet and gentle one, but the cursed and psychotic one. He managed to look over to the two of you, clutching his head with a pained and scrunched expression.
You two were still there, but not you. How was he supposed to explain it all? One second he saw two happy girls sitting together, and the next one he saw Jinx and you laughing hysterically with guns in your hands. The switch was getting slower, his eyes widening in horror as he saw you raising your hand, the barrel facing him, your eyes scratched out with a hot pink marker. He wanted to scream, yell, but it all went black as you pulled the trigger.Ā
Ā
Ā
āEkkoā¦ Ekkoā¦!ā You screamed, a hand holding a bottle of cold water. His eyes groggily opened and he was suddenly sprayed with the icy water.
āOops! Sorry, sorry..ā You giggled out, wiping his face with the sleeve of your top.
āWhat happened..?ā He murmured with blurry vision, as he lay on the floor.
āWe were sitting and waiting for the competition to start, and then.. you suddenly fell over.. Powder had to do it herself, but everything went good and you guys won! Yaaaay..ā You responded, a soft smile on your features as you caressed his cheek.Ā
āMy head feels like itās cracking..ā He whispered, leaning his head into your soft touch.
āI know, love.. I know.. letās go to my place, youāll stay at my houseā¦ā You tugged on his hand, wrapping his arm around your shoulders to stabilise his weight.
Ā
Ā
His head didnāt even turn off for a second as he lay in your bed next to you. Your scent was everywhere, the pillows, blankets, room and house filled with the smell of your shampoo and perfume.
You sleeping so soundly was almost painful, he wanted to be here forever, be with you and be the first thing in the morning youād see when you opened your eyes. He wanted to be there and kiss your neck while you basked in the sunlit room, hearing your laugh as you tried to push him off. But he canāt. It wasnāt where he needed to be, it wasnāt the place where he could stay. Who knew where the other Ekko was? Was he in his universe? Fighting all alone, not knowing what happened overnight and what was up? No, he couldnāt stay, he had to go and help the Firelights, he had to go so that at least your Ekko could bask in your love.
It wasnāt his destiny, not his fate, it was the other oneās.
The rustling sound of the bedsheets moving woke you up, your whiny voice and grumbles filling Ekkoās ears. Damn your hearing for not letting him go discreetly.
āLove..? Where are you going..? Is everything alright..?ā You sat up, scooting to him as he sat on the bed edge, your chest resting on his back.Ā
āYeah, just.. needed to use the bathroom..ā He murmured, feeling a small smile creeping on his face as you played with one of his loose dreadlocks.
āAh, okay. But are you sure youāre alright..? You seemed off the whole day.. I donāt want you fainting again like before the competitionā¦ā You whispered, your chin resting comfortably on his shoulder, pressing soft kisses to his neck up to his jawline.
He wanted to stay, he really did. You were the same, the same before you left and let Jinx and Shimmer take you under. Let your mind deceive your heart.
āYeah, Iām all good. Tough as nails, yāknow..ā He murmured and let you crawl into his lap, his hands automatically moving to encircle your waist.
āMhm, tough as nails. Surely..ā You teased, a cheeky smile that was illuminated by the moonlight. That cheeky smile that he absolutely adoredā¦
āHey now, donāt get cheekyā¦ā He uttered, a small smirk forming on his face as he kissed your cheek.
āCheeky is my middle name, what do you mean?ā Your giggling was like a sweet torture, both relaxing and mockingā¦ Reminding him that this was not for him, that he was a traitor, a fraud.
For a second, he just stared at you, drinking in for the last time all of your attention and presence. Oh, your lips, the little curve of a smile theyād do when you found something endearing. Or the look of your eyes.. oh your eyes were the most beautiful and treasured part that he loved. The way theyād stare at him when you were pouty, when you were angry or irritated, when you were just lying around and doing nothing, or the way theyād look at him after a kissā¦
āWhatā¦?ā You asked with a bashful smile, gaze averting for a split second.
āNothing.. youāre just so precious.. oh how precious you are to me..ā He shook his head with a soft smile, his gaze vulnerable and filled with adoration.Ā
āBut I need to goā¦ā He whispered. To him it was the last goodbye, the last chance to have you within arm's reach while knowing that you wouldnāt harm him. To you it was just another regular sleepover, the most casual thing and conversation you two would have.
āAlright, donāt get lost, nerdy boy.ā You teased with a chuckle, eyes crinkling at the corners as you sat in your place.
āI wonāt..ā He whispered, his voice pained but you shrugged it off, thinking heād join you in the bed shortly.
Little did you know that he slowly took his clothes and began to leave, tears rolling down his cheeks silently. How cruel could destiny be? Letting him make this heart wrenching decision of leaving you behind. Was this how it felt for you back then? To leave knowing that the other one will still wait? Waiting for you to come? He didnāt want to know how you did it, and he didnāt want to even imagine the pain youād feel the next morningā¦
Ā
-
Ā
The sun was rising slowly and the sunlight reached your face, blinding your closed eyes as you whined a bit. You were about to slam a hand over Ekkoās chest, but after you missed several times, you guessed to open your eyes and watch yourself where he lay.
To your surprise, he wasnāt there, nor were his clothes.
Was he in the kitchen? The bathroom? Swinging your legs over the bed edge, you found your slippers and stood up, looking around your apartment for a familiar face.
Looking into every room, you grew restless. Where could he be? This wasnāt what was usual. Usually you both would wake up and have a slow morning, without a care in the world, enjoying breakfast together and maybe sharing a bath. But now he wasnāt there, as if he vanished. Fast walking down the stairs to the kitchen, you started to call him out louder, desperate to find him. As you reached the kitchen, you saw a single rose lying on the table, no note, no nothing.
What was this supposed to mean? Roses arenāt even your favourite flowers, and Ekko knew thatā¦Ā
Or at least your Ekkoā¦
And at least not yours in this universeā¦
And now when Ekko despised you for leaving him in his reality, he did the same to you in the otherā¦
Ā
Ā
Ā
It wasnāt winterās fault, nor snowfalls or the frosts.
It was his fault, the boy that brought you roses.

Tommy's wrapped around Evan in the kitchen, the two of them swaying to Etta James as the duck is roasting in the oven.
"I love you," Evan murmurs.
Humming along to the familiar tune, he presses his cheek closer to Evan's. "I love you too, babe."
"Tommy, I love you. I love you so much."
There's something strange about Evan's tone. He sounds as though he's been crying. Tommy pulls back, but Evan is smiling tenderly at him, eyes soft and full of stars like they have been since the first time they kissed.
"Evan, is everything okay?"
"Come back to me so I can prove it," Evan says, incongruous to what Tommy just said.
Tommy freezes and it feels like the light in the kitchen darkens for a second. "What?"
Evan leans in and presses the tip of his nose to Tommy's cheek. "I love you. Please, wake up."
Images flash across Tommy's mind.
A semi bearing down on them as they race away from an obsessed madwoman.
The crash that sent them careening to the top of a hillside.
Blood and panic on Evan's beautiful face.
Him cutting Evan's seatbelt and shoving him out the door.
The lurch of the truck as it loses the fight against gravity.
The terror when his seatbelt won't release and his knife slips out of his blood-slicked hand.
The thought of at least he's safe.
The panicked screaming of his name.
The pain.
The pain.
The pain.
"I'm not here, am I?"
Evan in his arms is still smiling.
Tommy hugs him and kisses him. "I love you," he says.
Evan in his arms says nothing. Something is beeping. It's not the oven.
"I'm going now," Tommy adds. He steps away and cups Evan's cheek. "Will you be there for me?"
---
Life is not a movie. Tommy doesn't wake up fully with that one declaration of love, no matter how sincere and heartfelt.
But his condition stabilizes enough for the hospital to move him out of ICU. His eye response improves, and he sometimes moves his fingers, reacting to touch. The first time he curls his fingers into Buck's hand, Buck breaks down into a weeping mess and has to be led away by staff until he regains his composure.
He comes every day. He's on medical leave anyway to recuperate fully, so he goes to the hospital and sits in an uncomfortable chair on the side of the bed. Sal goes to work and comes over on the days he doesn't. Sometimes he's alone, sometimes he's with his wife Gina. They tell him about Tommy being there for them, especially in the early years of their marriage when their fiery tempers clashed. Tommy had grounded them both until they mellowed.
Bobby drops in too, once with Athena who had another cop take Buck's statement in the room, because he refused to leave Tommy.
Buck told them about Irene, about the way she tried to isolate Buck from his family, his friends. And her tantrum when she realized that he was still pining over Tommy. How she drugged him and cuffed him to the headboard before luring Tommy with a text from Buck's phone to a secluded location.
Her first mistake was saying "hey Tommy, this is Buck". Her second mistake was thinking Buck wouldn't know how to get out of his own cuffs - he and Tommy had practiced often.
Anyway, the police had her, and she was screaming threats when she was pulled from the semi after the crash.
Buck asks Hen to throw out everything in the loft that belongs to Irene. He doesn't want to think about her ever again.
And every day, he talks to Tommy. He reads from Substacks he finds interesting. He talks about the Kinsey scale and how it isn't really helpful for him, but he thinks he's landed under the bisexual flag. "70% women, 30% men, if that makes sense to you?" He reads aloud recipes and asks which he should make. He talks about Irene and how she fooled him with a story about a lost cat, and everything after with her felt shallow, but he was on the rebound and not paying attention to any of the red flags. He tells Tommy that he's not letting Tommy go again, not a second time.
He doesn't talk to Maddie or Chimney for a week.
He does, however, give Jee-yun a big hug and a kiss when they bring her to visit Buck, and places her drawing of "Uncle Tommy in a heli-copper flying in the sky with rainbows" right next to the bed. And then he lets them hug him and apologize and lets Maddie kiss the top of his head.
The day before he has to go back to work, Buck holds Tommy's hand. "I'll be here whenever I'm off shift," he says. "I'll be sure to have more stories to tell you."
Tommy's hand curls into his. Buck swallows down the lump of emotion in his throat. Tommy's grown thinner. He massages the wrist and arm, the way he's seen the other nurses do it.
"I'm gonna miss being right here where I can see you," he continues. "I bet you're happy to have a little less yapping in your ears though."
And then he hears the faintest murmur: "Ev'n?"
Everything stops, just for a heartbeat. Tommy's eyelids flutter. His pulse speeds up and other monitors begin to pick up. His lips move.
"Ev'n?"
"I'm here, I'm here, don't go anywhere," Buck stammers, gripping Tommy's hand in both his own, and then screams for someone to get a doctor. He doesn't even register that he's crying until the teardrops land on the back of his hand, seeping between his and Tommy's fingers.
The nurses have to pry him away. Dianne and Nick sit him down in a chair in the corner and make him contact Sal and Bobby both. They promise to come down as soon as they can. All of them.
When he's allowed back to his usual spot, he takes Tommy's cold hand and kisses it. Tommy can't really keep his eyes open for long, but he smiles faintly.
"Ev'n. There y' are."
"Here I am," Buck whispers. "I'm never leaving again."
