[sombra7567]

How the frick did I end up down this RABBIT HOLE-

6 months ago, I was subbed to ONE ASMR channel. ONE. (AlakazamASMR, love that guy, he's chill).

Decided to try listening to @scytheaudio today cuz hey, why the heck not, I'm already trapped listening to 5 other people, pretty sure this one won't get me.

TELL Y'ALL ONE THING THO. THE OTHERS DIDN'T HAVE ME HOOKED FROM THE FREAKING INTRO.

*is now trapped listening to 6 people this is FINE-*

swings (kuroo x f!reader) it's not just the swings that makes you feel like you're flying.

tags: tooth-rotting fluff, sleepy reader and kuroo, childhood friends to lovers, every time they kiss it's like the first time <333

a/n: HBD KUROO MY MAN AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH i should really stop writing birthday things the day of and start planning earlier

one-shot; 714 words (border by @cafekitsune!)

the two of you are giggling uncontrollably as you stumble out of the restaurant. you lean on his shoulder, laughing into the fabric of his suit jacket.

“the waiter told us to enjoy our food, and you-”

“-and i said ‘you too’!” tetsuro wheezes. you both break out into a fresh peal of laughter. he holds the passenger door open for you like he always does. he's still a gentleman, after all, even when slightly tipsy and laughing his butt off.

the streets are empty by now, and tetsuro drives slowly. he keeps his eyes on the road and one hand on the steering wheel. the other is wrapped around yours, calloused thumb gently smoothing over the skin of your palm. 

“tetsu?” you hum.

“yes, sweetheart?”

“can we go to the park?”

it goes without saying that you live for the way his eyes brighten in that moment - hazel irises glimmering in the low light - because why wouldn't he want to go to the park? the park where the two of you first met?

you must have dozed off at some point, because you’re awoken with a warm hand on your shoulder and a tender kiss to the back of your hand. again the door is opened for you, and in your half-sleep stupor you feel warm and fuzzy. the sweet aftertaste of the restaurant's dessert still lingers on your tongue as you lace your fingers with his.

it looks vastly different in the shadow of night, but still the same as from years past. the water fountain, currently shut off. a few fiery red leaves float on the water’s still surface. the metal bench that gets unbearably hot under the summer sun, where the two of you used to burn your running shorts-clad legs in moments of forgetfulness.

and the red swings.

kenma would sit on the nearby bench, glued to his handheld console, refusing to partake in your enjoyment. ladies first, tetsuro would say, then push you as hard as he could until you were screaming from a mixture of anxiety and adrenaline. you’d get him back when you got the chance, with the goal of making him see true fear.

fun times, huh?

but what you loved most was when you’d each take a seat and swing alongside each other. you’d kick off the ground at the same time, screaming and laughing together. if you were swinging even a little faster, he’d adjust his speed to catch up. if you were slower, he’d slow down with you. he’d look over and lock his beautiful eyes with yours, and he’d smile.

you loved it because it made you feel as if it was just you and him in the whole wide world. it made you feel like you were flying alongside the butterflies in your tummy. even on bad days, which consisted of your bad days, and his bad days that were also yours in a way.

eventually you came to realize that it was him all along, and always had been. 

you visit at least once a month, enjoying the park’s view in all four seasons. but tonight feels so much more special. it’s a minute to midnight when you reach the old swing set. your hand is clasped in his when your watch beeps, signaling the start of a new day.

you take his face in your hands, thumbing over his cheekbones.

“happy birthday, my love.”

you kiss him, and it’s like those butterflies never left your stomach at all. you hold each under other starlight for who knows how long, until he yawns slightly, nuzzling his face into your hair.

“we should head home and go to bed,” you point out gently. “you have birthday lunch plans with the boys.”

“would it be acceptable to cancel those plans so i can stay home with you all day?” he murmurs.

“you know kenma will complain about you being whipped.”

“but bokuto will understand!”

“and then oikawa will argue the angle of bros over ho-”

“fine,” he concedes. “but i want to ride the swings with you for a little while. please?”

you sigh, your lips curving upwards. the butterflies are going insane with how he looks at you with those pleading eyes of his.

“okay, but just for a little while.”

[housewifebuck]

one thing i love in fics (and wish we get in canon!!) is phone calls. like soft domestic phone calls before bed. like eddie and chris are in texas and they call buck to say goodnight. like chris has a nightmare and wants to talk to buck so they video call him and he’s just rambling about his day or showing them things around the fire station. once chris falls asleep again buck and eddie just talk for a bit with hushed and soft voices just talking about nothing and then wishing the other sleeps well. like hanging up and just smiling at the phone for a minute. SOFT!!!!!

THISBIS SO EVERYTHING TO MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH

[thehangerson]

OKAY here is my explanation for spamreblogging from you and also @/flashsidewayss (who i couln't find asks for or i would not send a weird joint ask) i read all of both of your psych fic bc that show makes me feel insane and it is like. no one else is doing it like you. also ive been listening to the playlist for ceceverse and like. we need the annotated version. anyway im approaching character limit and also realizing this is deranged and unintelligable but the gist is. i appreciate your contri

HELLO. many months later here is the annotated ceceverse playlist!!!

im gonna put a text break bc this will be LONG. sorry. purple text is stuff @flashsidewayss had to say. this will justbe some misc. notes and thoughts on the songs and some will have lyrics that i associate etc. hope u enjoy

Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel

DUHHH!!! it’s THE ceceverse song. shawn named her after this song

The Room Is Filled With People That Love You - Foresight

this is one of my favs. fantastic song first of all but also SO ceceverse. like. life’s a precious thing!

Seven - Sleeping At Last

seven by sal you mean the most shawn song in the world. no lyrics to mention here bc. Well. all of them.

the enneagram songs are @thatchedrooftavern’s domain and he agrees that this is a major shawn song

"let me tell you another secret of the trade: it feels like sinking when i'm standing in one place" and the farewell and welcome home parade bit

Growing Pains - COIN

again. deeply a shawn song. 

This song is a little applicable to shawn just in general and also shawn and gus’ relationship which is one of the like. Pillars of this au.

Six - Sleeping At Last

another @thatchedrooftavern song, more of a gus song

"when everything feels heavy, I've learned to travel light" its the struggle of being around for those you love while also meeting your needs for activity and adventure

Vines - Hippo Campus

Big fan of this album! Some lyrics to mention would be “Failed by design, slow your pace down to mine / Watch my back, heave a sigh / Keep it safe, make it right”

10 Steps - Christian Leave

I can’t really find the words for my thoughts on this song, but the chorus is sort of just about how people can change so much during such time, and what you want with your life could be completely different from what it started as

I Can’t Handle Change - Roar

sorry about this one! self-explainable i think

Seventeen Going Under - Sam Fender

shawn spencer… yeah

with that relationship with his father? please. no notes

Sparks - Coldplay

this song is supposedly about romantic love but its very applicable to a parent-child relationship i feel

“But I promise you this / I'll always look out for you / Yeah, that's what I'll do” etc etc

Nine Lives - Odie Leigh

“Cats have nine lives, I have two / I live one for me, and one for you”

the annotation on genius.com for this first verse is this, “At minimum, I live for both of us but, preferably, I will fade into what I can be for you, an extension of you. I am the pencil you hold, the car you drive, the phone you stare at. It’s intoxicating to exist within other people. It’s hardly “sacrificing” myself to this person, but being able to hide within them.”

Together - The Raconteurs

for me this is The shawngus ceceverse song.

another album i love. @flashsidewayss once had to loan me $9 so i could buy the cd. no specific lyrics to mention.

The Book of Love - The Magnetic Fields

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH

^get help. in all seriousness yeah. ceceverse ass song. in the literal sense im pretty sure we’ve mentioned in a few published fics about how cece is a big reader, and they do lots of reading together despite shawn not being one.

Rain - Bishop Allen

if its ever gonna get any better its gotta get worse for a day!

Coming of Age - Foster The People

lots of lyrics to mention here…. “You know I try to live without regrets/I'm always moving forward and not looking back/But I tend to leave a trail of dead while I'm moving ahead”

“I seem to hurt the people that care the most” etc etc “And even when I'm wrong, I tend to think I'm right”

Clay Pigeons - Michael Cera

deeply ceceverse vibes

have an attachment to this song spanning back to an older fic named after it… the third verse in specific

“I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know/I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go/Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again…”

Way It Goes - Hippo Campus

and so we return to this album… there's a lot we can’t control but lord knows we’re trying huh

A World Alone - Lorde

this song is quite a ceceverse song and also quite a shawngus song in general. something something finding peace in someone who understands you fully and loves you

You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac

an og ceceverse song! i listened to this song a lot right when i was first dreaming up this au. this song is super cece and shawn and also a little shules tbh i think its on my shules playlist also

The Gold - Manchester Orchestra, Phoebe Bridgers

second verse here… shawn ceceverse to me

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

yeah. “Can the child within my heart rise above?/Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?/Can I handle the seasons of my life?”

i also listened to this song a lot while writing this fic

Ahora Te Puedes Marchar - Luis Miguel

this one is just fun idk. a fun interlude

A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (aprox) - The Yellow Dress

this song has always to me felt very much like a song you’d sing to a child to make them laugh. The chorus is so silly but closing it with “Oh, but mainly losing you/These days, mainly losing you” is. well. yeah

the repeated assurances that things will always be okay, even if bad things happen

More Like You - Orla Gartland

this song is far more applicable to things we haven’t posted, and more applies to cece as she gets older. her dad is her best friend, and she wants to be just like him when she grows up

100 Strangers - Circa Waves

this whole song is very shawn ceceverse

Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac

i could write a LOT about this song however. a specific to mention is that the bridge most likely refers to when Stevie Nicks married her late friend’s husband to help him raise his child. their marriage wasn’t long because they weren’t in love exactly but they both loved the child, which was enough at the time

Caught in the Middle - Paramore

the bridge in this one. etc. a shawn song

For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - Simon & Garfunkel

AUHGHGHGHHGHGHGH

apparently Paul Simon has said that this song isn’t about a real person, but about more of a belief.

Green Light - Lorde

i think a lot about how the color green isn’t representing a negative in this song, but is more representing like a fresh start and something new

All My Little Words - The Magnetic Fields

AUHGUFGHUFDGHKDFGJFDSLJDFSKDLG

this song is here as more of a reference to shawn’s feelings on his own relationship with his father irt his relationship with his daughter. i don’t know how much we’ve written about this in posted fics but he does have a deep at the very least subconscious fear that he will lose his kid the same way his father “lost” him. i have more to say on this if anyone wants to hear it

Last Kiss - Taylor Swift

“So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep” this line specifically we thought about a lot when writing this one for obvious reasons

“And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day/And something reminds you you wish you had stayed/You can plan for a change in the weather and time/But I never planned on you changing your mind”

this song is here in reference to shawn and gus obviously. gus has really conflicted feelings about the years shawn spent away especially in this au, which we dig into a little in that fic and a few others

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift

self-explanatory i feel

Graceland Too - Phoebe Bridgers

just like. i dont know. really really loving someone that you would do anything for them, no matter what. this song is also a little about loving people who have a hard time loving themselves so read into that if you wish

August (Acoustic) - flipturn

August regular is SO psych. August (acoustic) is SO ceceverse

Pluto - Sleeping At Last

insert pluto joke here. this song is here as a reference to shawn realizing that. it takes a village and the people around him are there to help and he should let them

Clean Slate - The Mountain Goats

move on and move out, yk? a very shawn song i think

The Wolf - The Crane Wives

sent to me by the lovely @thatchedrooftavern

shawngus lowkey. “can it be easy for once?/'Cause I’m no good at being kind to myself/Or anyone”

“I am a falling axe/I am a sharpened knife/I am a poison asp/I am a risk to your life”

Daydreamer - The Crane Wives

this song is a lot about like. societal norms and expectations

“How many times can someone start again?”

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For - U2

Like why would you say this to me

generally a very shawn song

A Month Or Two - Odie Leigh

idk. give it some time!

long story short - Taylor Swift

probably a little shawngus. also shawn and cece generally. the chorus etc

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

the whole song. what a special girl :)
