20 fic writer questions~

I'm procrastinating and feverish and in pain, so I figured I'd distract myself and finally do this,, thanks for the tag lovelies @the-francakes (x) @lumosatnight (x) and @orange-peony (x)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

44 including origami, fics, a mixture of those (all mine and also collabs), and podfics

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

Noo this would be a bitch to calculate

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I used to write for the HP fandom

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

You Light Me Up

I Just Want You to Know (collab with @sugareey-makes-stuff)

Language of Love

[FIC & ART] Heart on Your Sleeve

Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try!! But I often fail. Reasons: Partially sometimes I get overwhelmed and/or am too shy and dk what to say, but mostly it's because I am so so incredibly burned out

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Damn,, idt I have one. I do HEAs! At least in fics, and so far

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All are happy I think,, and omg how does one quantify and compare happiness?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope! Like reading it, actually incapable of writing it

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven't! Idk if I will! There is one published novel one that I want to read tho omg ;-; ok sorry going off track

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I sure hope not :') But to my knowledge no

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah with Krissy! Linked in question 4. We didn't even know it was each other haha cos it was an anonymous epistolary exchange but ye it was fun

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Don't ask me that!! There's lots of ships to love, and idh the same ride or die (or any, tbh) feeling for my previously main one anymore. Goes to show that it just changes with time (maybe this current answer will too!)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

SIKE I don't start things I know I won't finish (involves an elaborate planning procedure, ask @getawayfox ) and once I start them I push through it even if I have to drag myself crying (I'm insane I know)

16. What are your writing strengths?

I love writing dialogue, and some people have told me it's nice, so I shall go with that!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Ohh loads I reckon,, I'm going to stick to sharing run on sentences and can't write long plots. Cos I have to do lots of academic writing and copywriting, and that's going pretty steady, so idw to break that and spiral by thinking too much about this :') esp cos idh much time and energy to write fiction rn

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Yes if done right! Like you do things to make sure you don't throw off those who don't know that language and like make it part of the flow. And/Or footnotes! I've done dialogue in Hindi in my fics, and I've written an entire one in a script play format in Hindi too for @curlyy-hair-dont-care

19. First fandom you wrote for?

HP

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Listen :') I have mixed feelings about my writing, so I genuinely can't answer this

Tagging @andithiel @curlyy-hair-dont-care if you wanna do this, and anyone else who hasn't and wants to as well!!

A guide to all of my Owl House fics bc I have too many lmao (pt2)

Owl family!! <3 a collection of fics containing different people in the owl house found family ☺️☺️

These are also all one-shots ranging from 1,000-3,000ish words. I have commitment issues, clearly

Calamity jr(s): Eda has to get her pesky kids from the principles office. Looks like some witchlets have gained her thirst for chaos. Eda, Luz, Hunter, Raine and King are all in this :)

my words shoot to kill when I’m mad (I have a lot of regrets about that) : Luz is struggling. Eda and Hunter provide a lot of support. Angst with a happy ending.

homecomings: Eda, Luz and King being reunited. Written before s3. I love them!!

breakfast and bickering: Eda and Raine trying to parent their three chaotic kids (Luz, Hunter and King). It’s so family fluff

a place to go: Luz has a nightmare and receives comfort from Eda and Raine. This is just them being an incredibly loving parenting duo. A lil bit of Raeda moments sprinkled in.

a moment’s rest: after s2ep19, everyone is reunited at the hideout. Raine and Eda talk while the kids sleep. Eda ranting about her kiddos and Raine is falling more and more in love with her <3

saving you (is to save me): Luz gets injured in the final fight. Eda and Camila have a talk while she sleeps, mother to mother. I LOVE CAMILA SO KUCH EHSJKAKAJW

just a kid: Camila and Luz centric. mama Camila holding her little girl who needs it so much.

Luz & Friends (or girlfriend)

home is not a place (home is you): Luz has a hard day at school. Her friends remind her how much they love her.

on my way to believing: Amity centric, focusing on her overcoming her fear of love and familial issues.

won’t let you bear this alone: Post s2 finale. The kids are all struggling. But they have each other, and that’s something. angst!! Angst!!

Major character death lol

I have an unhealthy obsession with major character death. It’s so fun to write. Devastation is truly a gem to write

slipping through my fingers: luz is petrified. Eda is dealing with grief. it’s just sadness 😀

my arms (for you to rest in): Luz is dying, she knows that. The process of death through her eyes.

I think that’s all of them. Prob idk

[blue-sky-and-rain]

i can’t believe that out of this entire story the one thing i’ve spent the most time deliberating has been whether to write “but cal was dead” or “but cal was fucking dead” i mean out of all the hard decisions in life i never imagined this being one of them

[anoesjkaax]

I'll be uploading something new tomorrow.

Was hoping to get it done today but seeing as it is 4am and I am only 389 words in it will be for tomorrow 😅

Someone *kuch* KATIE *kuch* has me procrastinating by watching stray kids videos...

My sincere apology

Thank you for the likes, sweet comments and Reblogs on my very first BTS fic. I forgot how much fun it was to write, and I am certainly mindblown with the response my first fic has received. Thank you so much!

favourite crime by lebrookestore (brooke) :: live read + review

includes: just random phrases of what i think as the fic progresses (some of it is not comprehensible, just bare with me), maybe some cursing, and a detailed (and more organized in a way) review at the very end

disclaimer: this review is very long (2.5k words)

key:

one paragraph = one scene (in chronological order)

anything in brackets [ ] is constructive criticism (albeit minor, most is grammar/spelling anyway. there’s a bit but i promise i’m not being mean ;-;)

prereading shenanigans: okay psa brooke, i physically cannot listen to music while reading/writing as it can overwhelm my senses, so unfortunately i will not be listening to the playlist ;-; but! i will listen to it afterwards and give you my very thoughtful...thoughts. i feel like everytime i read one of your fics..it’s a slowburn so do i really have to read the themes and summary? maybe. i also don’t recall reading the teaser for this oops. even better, i’ll be majorly surprised. damn that summary is hard ‘best friends aren’t meant to be lovers.’ *ponders why it says ‘best friends to lovers’ in the themes category but proceeds anyway* i will not cry while reading this, absolutely not but if you do make me cry, i’m flying to india and suing you.

— live read —

okay black jeans are so edgy i like this taeyong already. also falling flat on your face? even better. [very minor but i believe it should say vase instead of ‘case’] clumsiness is cute okay, it’s okay ty i love you. BOBA EYES finally someone said it, his eyes are like stars but irl!! [drooping instead of ‘dropping’] OH MY GOSH, sitting on the roof and talking >>> you’ve unlocked another memory grr [independent clauses are sometimes extended into long sentences but that’s just me being hard skdjfdksjh ;-;] how are his flowers still alive uhh,, THE ROSE SCAR!!!

[‘eaten it everyday’] same dude i eat cheerios all the time and i’m tired of it but i..still..buy it though. THEY ARe just glorified cornflakes with sugar!!! it’s not even good hmpf okay maybe taeyong isn’t that great. [I LOVE THE WORD SEGUE] imagine if taeyong watched buzzfeed unsolved….i’d marry him. [use the colon instead of semicolon! ‘:cup noodles’] [changing of tenses] BYE imagine cooking with taeyong….okay he’s actually good though i’d probably embarrass the hell out of him. EXACTLY why cook when you can just buy it?!?!?? [what is it? all one big noodle, Lady and the Tramp style?] HHAHA taeyong needing to argue ;-;

MINORING IN ENGLISH WOULD BE SO FUN OKAY [on-campus] cute cute little bacon montage with uhhh taeyong getting asked out, cute cute

RYUJINN god i...i love her. [dialogue in one paragraph should belong to one speaker!] ughh imagine yeji buying you lunch...gosh miss yeji ;-; [every day] just a year more???? JUST A YEAR MORE??? ITS MORE THAN A YEAR ITS CALLED GOING THROUGH HELL IN SENIOR YEAR DONT GET ALL OPTIMISTIC Y/N THATS NOT VERY ANGSTY OF YOU??

[suppose] ugh y/n has no taste, froot loops are DISGUSTING. [mentally] oh my godddd yes writer!y/n *realizes now even though it’s literally established that she’s a journalism major what the fuck vee* [some caps errors but kinda minor (Froot Loops, English) and use a comma instead of semicolon when there are two dependent clauses!] IMAGINE BEING TOLD TO WRITE ABOUT LOVE….kuch kuch hota hai vibes anyone??? lmao please this is my positioning while writing, like i’m so into it or i’m dying inside and then back problems wow y/n is really me aint she. [dammit or damn it] lmao the way i had hot pink curtains when i was in elementary school…….aww cute supportive lil taeyong my fave

wait i’m confused did she take midterms or finals,,, OHHH she’s recalling the past okay don’t mind me don’t mind me i’m just a little girl figuring things out okay. RUDOLPH REJECT LMFAO bye. [paralyzed] AWWW SHIT okay bye this entire scene was three years ago okay wtf am i doing lemme reread that holy shit brooke i’m a dumbass bye. . . YES YES THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE MY FAVORITE,, i love this so much. honestly i like this scene! yeji’s right, going off of other people’s experiences to write something about love is difficult although that is what people tend to do but...it doesn’t always have to be an experience. more like a personal perception, i guess, so it’s interesting that yeji tells her to find her own explanations.

BLUE…..Taeyong...brainrot. [same thing earlier about the paragraphs and dialogue, stay linear!] yes omg,,, getting that validation from that one person is so so satisfying. [aux cord] ugh exactly y/n go you i could never bite into ice cream [however, when he looked at you fiddling with the aux cord, he wasn’t opposed to the idea.] NOO I JUST KNOW something bad’s gonna happen don’t fuck with me brooke no not now,, BROOKE I LOVE YOU my car is literally a Prius are you stalking me?? AW SHIT I KNEW IT, okay you cannot make me hate seulgi though...it’s literally seulgi.. taeyong really forgot her jk i hate him again u ASSHOLE. aww no what i thought taeyong liked her. let me guess he distracts himself with other girls to divert his affinity for her i see i see U ASSHOLE. NOOO I DONT WANT THINGS TO CHANGE NO

[changing tenses] aw c’mon am i supposed to hate him or what? he’s icing her foot. i want someone to ice my foot now. ‘the civil way’ shjfdhdfh imagine taeyong climbing through your bedroom *eyes bedroom window as i write* i better see a taeyong soon c’mon. ‘ICE LOLLY’ omg that sounds british cute

[some tense changes in verbs as well] HHHH okay doyoung did you know that airbags can actually suffocate you? yeah take that baby [maybe say ‘loss of the warmth you provided from your figure pressing against him’] noo bunny doie don’t get mad. HAHAH ryujin would SO name her car i second this. THE WEISHEN FRAT yuh i better see stripper yangyang NAHH she’s wearing taeyong’s shirt? no. nope they’re dating i confirmed confirmed by vee right now. [‘get it off’ omg the original statement sounds so sexual] SICHENG IS HER EX….gosh wtf why is this about taeyong?? she should get back with sicheng pronto stat. NOOO what if the ending is her getting back together with sicheng. this is me predicting. if i’m right you owe me five bucks brooke. aww mutual breakups are actually nice. RUM AND COKE sounds horrid. [same with the tense changing in verbs] BYE seeing people fucking in frats is not uncommon for sure. AWW YUNA i love the itzy cameo please add itzy to your masterlist hell make a whole blog for them.

taeyong is good at everything period end of story and baam that’s how favorite crime ends baby. this is literally me trying to paint no joke,, no but artist!bsf!taeyong sounds so good omg...i want this in my life. not the french girls joke byeee. WHY REWATCH TITANIC??? girlfriend is y/n alright. awwww *blocks* im kidding this is sooo cute but i’m imagining this irl and that’s creepy as hell, imagine you’re sleeping and lee taeyong climbs through your window that’s terrifying actually. omgggg that’s so deep imagine though?? people have so many different perceptions of love and it can go from best friend love to a soulmate love to a playful love and on and on and on so this is so open ended yesss i love this

(unrelated but i was lowkey expecting it to say ‘honey, i’m hooomosexual!’ and there folks is yet another alternate ending to favorite crime) please all moms would say taeyong is handsome ;-; even mine let’s be real. OHHHHH yes omg gift shopping is so hard but so fun esp if you go with friends or taeyong. although the latter has yet to happen but,, i digress. ‘he did his best’ LMFAO this is so cute bye. HHAHAHHHHHHH no i’m just. i have to. go i have to leave,, he called her pretty!!!! after like what 8k or smth??? PRETTY omg!! a complement yess!!! you go baby. YES OMG YES i. taeyong is getting more likeable i don’t like this i know i’m gonna hate him more i hate this.

i don’t even eat bacon but i can smell this anyway. UGHHH yes i love ugly sweaters go taeyong baby. HAHHA what the fuck these are cute gifts i’m jealous now. i’m jealous i need a taeyong. YES twilight is so shit full offense. C U T E NOOOOO you’re hurting me. i have to add ‘fluff’ to my tags now this is FLUFF

AHAHHAHSH not highlights okay taeyong would look hot but i could NEVER y/n is a champ for even holding that bowl in her hands. TAEIL IS A SENIOR AND YEJI IS ALSO A SENIOR BYEEE. no no no rephrase all of that to ‘i wish to marry ryujin and ryujin only’ yes okay. ughhh this last line: He hated the thought of you leaving. gosh that just hits hard. the life after senior year *says the girl who is literally graduating from junior year next week*

MINI ME AND MINI YOU?? HELLO?? UNPROVOKED?? Change makes shit volatile. a bit confusing in phrasing but yes. change can be temporary or permanent and either way, it’s hard. THE KISS SCENE IS COMING ITS COMING ITS COMING it’s midnight but ITS COMING. that was a SWEET scene ughh brooke don’t do this to me.

TAEHYUN TAUGHT HER?? damn she’s fucked. NOO oh my god brooke i’m...blushing...i’m blushing. ‘can’t wait to taste it…’ FHHHHDHHH no, no no no.. i need my braincells i will push through. im only halfway through the fic wtf at least they kissed though.

OH MYG ODHSKFHHH they went on a date??? YOU ARE jjjjhfhfhh okay i’m sshj what. [you, on the other hand, were wearing…] damn i just. they’re gonna end up like this apollo and hyacinthus babes huh uh oh uh oh. i’m literally thinking of spencer’s twin sister from pretty little liars who takes her lover’s ashes and makes it into a diamond, but she killed her lover and i don’t remember his name that’s terrifying. taeyong u weird as hell for this. ohoho spicy scene. i feel like love isn’t really volatile, it’s more permanent if anything. which is why it’s so difficult. yes yes that whole paragraph is a masterpiece. it’s so permanent that it leaves marks: memories. truly some love just doesn’t last.

[bled] a haunted house…..horrible horrible but perfect. this is taking so long for me to read wtf brooke it’s been an hour and i’m still not done i think...i have to read the rest tomorrow hhh ;-;

yes yes yes the honeymoon phase!! the honeymoon phase is fading off and it feels bland, boring, monotone in a way i totally get this. how did this girl get a license she can’t even brake i-THIS. they’re just..in love with each other but in different ways but they don’t see it. rookie mistake, jk jk this is sad honestly it always ends in disaster but it happens

THIS DAMN ARTICLE GIRL. nooo he did not forget...renjun very very cute i no longer care about taeyong injun my love. yikes this is just...it’s like that love that just fades but is still so permanent. ouch. love IS selfish yes i agree. ughhh that’s sad. So he stayed silent, he let you be his because he wanted to love you. that’s hard oh my godddd, will talk about the idea of being in love with someone/wanting to love someone to the point where you fuck everything up later.

awww noo this was like inevitable, that’s just sad. this wow i just wow. that put it together so well. in love with the idea of being in love.

girl wtf i’m trying to react to this but i’m just frozen. that article was BOMB tho u go y/n. nooo not the best friend contract. ugh i wish i could say i can’t understand the idea of just letting go of someone close to you but i do and wow………

A LITTLE BITTERSWEET? a lot bittersweet. memories are like horrible reminders of past love. ugh that’s a perfect ending. HHHHHHH RAHHHHHHH okay i feel like i have to scream before i write this review. i’m just in awe RHHHH.

— review —

→ main themes:

> being in love with the idea of love / wanting to love someone

> repeated motif of writing/reading/literature

→ being in love with the idea of love/wanting to love someone (but loving them differently/not loving them at all): this is just overall, from my perception, what this fic was about (in taeyong’s perspective). and the allusion of y/n saying she felt obligated to have a crush goes perfectly well with taeyong’s situation too. i always say bff2l can never go wrong and it’s true, it’s true, but it looked like there were so many broken fragments to the lifestyle that both taeyong and y/n managed to weave together. they believed they were living perfectly in the present, especially y/n, which is an optimistic view on life but very dangerous at the same time. when y/n talks about the ‘perfect life’ when they’re building a miniature version of their joint apartments, i feel like that was that beginning ‘spark’ (as mentioned earlier) of them realizing that it’s not possible. also what i found interesting is the ‘change makes shit volatile’ phrase which made me think because...it sounds so contradictory but it’s understandable in the sense of this story at least. especially when it’s mentioned that love is volatile. this entire fic runs on those memories of their past and their time together (which is...literally their entire lives) so to say that their love is volatile feels almost...contradictory once again. i’d personally say that it’s not, because there’s always an element of permanence. there’s always memories. and the part when taeyong mentions that he’d never be able to forget y/n proves it too.

→ repeated literature motif: props to the author (brooke) for adding this in since it’s perfect that y/n is a journalism major because literature is what fuels those ideas of a ‘perfect life’ and especially those ideas of love in general. and an article asking about the perception of love is extremely broad but it was written very well. what makes this all even more interesting is that it seems as if y/n is very invested into reading/writing but isn’t into writing a story, which is ironic because when she mentions that ‘perfect life’ all i can think of is fiction, literature, stories, fantasy, etc.. but this was very well done, it wasn’t too overwhelming, the addition of literature but it was done well enough to give the reader a sting near the end.

→ overall: this was great, brooke. very interesting read. i will definitely be pondering this new outlook on heartbreak for a while (the thought of ‘he hoped he loved you like you loved him’ skims my mind but not as often as it will now). this type of love conflict is very very very fitting to the fact that they’re best friends, and taeyong feels obligated (in a way) to feel the same type of love for her. very interesting.

favorite crime; l.ty

Pairing: Lee Taeyong x reader

Themes: childhood best friends to lovers, college au, a pinch of greek mythology, heavy angst, SLOWBURN, bittersweet ending, fluff, humour, sexual innuendos, kissing, mutual pining, talk about love, references to songs and musicals

Warnings: heavy angst, swearing, underage alcohol consumption, food, sexual innuendos and sex jokes, one slightly spicy scene with heavy making out but nothing sexually explicit, PG 15

Wc: 30k+

Playlist: here (please listen to it while you read!!!! each song is pretty important and i worked really hard on it ;-;)

Summary: Best friends do almost everything together, especially one’s like you and Taeyong and that means you get to experience many firsts together, teaching each other things, but if there’s one thing that is needed to be taught, it’s that best friends aren’t meant to be lovers.

Authors note: happy early birthday to my one true love!!! This fic has my entire heart and soul and with posting this I can say that it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. A few elements that I’ve added into this fic are a little personal, so i have an attachment to it.  It’s also the longest thing I’ve ever written (and probably will ever write) and I’m very proud of it. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I hope you cry reading it and most of all I hope you enjoy it, because I loved writing it!! As always, feedback would be appreciated<33

i] roses are red, violets are blue, i’m clumsy as fuck and lucky to have you

You didn’t understand your best friend at all, even though you’ve known him since you were four. You’ve seen him cry over other kids blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, you’ve seen him fall flat on his face while attempting to play soccer (he’s much better at it now). The time he was certain he could fly and attempted jumping out of his window, only to clamber back up on the room tiles and into the safety of his room. That was the day he discovered he had a fear of heights, so flying was out of the question. His new favorite super power was invisibility.

Oh, Darling Bride!

Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVnbojCYPxU and my sister who sat on the ‘mayoon’ chair and literally received a proposal in the next few months.

Summary: Liam attends a typical South Asian wedding function with his boyfriend, when suddenly things take a turn for wtf-ville. (Read on AO3)

Also, just want to say a big thank you to all those who read/reblogged my prev fic. The amazing responses spurred me on to write some more :)

"Aaye laariye ni tera sehreya wala wyaanwan ayaa"

Laughter surrounded Liam; rich, hefty belly laughs and delicate, feminine giggles reached his ears as he turned around to face the party that was in full swing at the moment.

A soft drink in his hand and clad in a slightly stiff, but beautifully embroidered sherwani-

("Thank you, Trisha, I mean I can't believe you gave me-" "Oh quiet, babe, you'll look perfect in this anyway and it doesn't even fit Zayn...")

-Liam adjusted the vibrant yellow scarf around his neck when he felt warm, supple fingers meet his hand. He stood still, a smile sneaking its way onto his flushed face, as Zayn adjusted his scarf for him, gentle and slow, taking his time to make it lay perfect around him.

"Thanks, babe, I never know how to wear this," Liam muttered, turning to face his boyfriend. Ah, his boyfriend. The best gift given to him. He had even taken the time to thank Trisha once, fully enjoying her delightful laughter as Zayn stood behind her scowling prettily at him. Right now, he looked divine in a charcoal black kameez, as Zayn had called it, and a yellow scarf matching the one Liam wore. His hair, grown out and curling slightly behind his ears, was swept back carelessly; a fact Liam appreciated terribly as he was blessed with the view of Zayn running his long, delicate fingers through his hair every few minutes to adjust it.

God, he was awfully pretty. And had the most gentle and sensitive soul. How was he so lucky to deserve him?

His train of thought screeched to a stop with a gentle nudge from Zayn who was looking at him with inquisitive eyes, tongue curling around a small smile directed at him.

"You okay, babe?" he inquired gently, silently worried that this party was proving too much for Liam. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with Zayn's family?

Liam shrugged his worry off quickly, he was being a literal party pooper, standing in the corner of the Maliks' living room, making eyes at their son and being contemplative on a day of celebration.

It was Zayn's cousin's wedding. Or rather one of the several functions to follow before the actual wedding day. "Asians" Zayn had remarked at Liam when asked, and apparently that was answer enough.

"Asians, specifically South Asians, tend to have really big families, love, we tend to show our love and celebration through parties and ceremonies such as these. Worry not, you'll fit right in," Trisha had filled him in with the necessary information after he had huffed at Zayn for the lack thereof. He had nodded knowingly, though still quite confused, but determined to stick through it.

And here he was. A Pakistani folk song played through the speakers set up at the back of the room, which was decked out in yellows and golds and gentle greens ("Colours usually associated with mayoon," a cousin of Zayn's had informed him). There was a circle of little girls, dressed in beautiful yellow and green dresses, dancing around and giggling uncontrollably. The adults around them were spurring them on with enthusiastic, rhythmic clapping. It was a beautiful scene, one Liam wouldn't forget any time soon.

He turned back to Zayn," I was just wondering, though, you never told me why everyone, including us, is wearing yellow? Even your cousin, the bride is? What's the deal with that?"

"Well, that's what mayoon is, really, it's just this ceremony where the bride is supposed to wear yellow and have her hands covered in mehendi and her family will sit around her and sing songs and just be festive, I guess," Zayn shrugged as he talked, hoping to inculcate more of his culture into Liam. He moved in closer to Liam and touched his lips to his ear. Liam shivered and leaned in to hear.

"C'mon, I wanna do something fun, follow me," he whispered in his ear and held out his hand. Liam raised his eyebrows at him. This was not the time for that.

Zayn rolled his eyes at him. "Don't be a pervert, babe, I didn't mean it like that, just come with me, c'mon now," he dragged Liam towards the busy party, people flocking about on the dance floor, a pair of cushioned armchairs set up festively, draped in soft yellow and gold tulle. The bride and groom were off their thrones for the moment, busy socializing and talking to all their guests.

Zayn dropped heavily onto one of the two chairs, limbs askew and rested his head on the padded back. He signaled Liam to do the same who was a bit cautious, looking around to locate the bride and groom, checking to see if maybe he was being rude taking their seats? Slowly, when no one turned around to glare at him, he lowered himself onto the armchair with a quiet sigh, although judging by Zayn's answering grin, he may have been too loud. Oh well, he was tired, standing around for so long would do that to you.

He was so relaxed that he never noticed Zayn's sister, Doniya, sneaking up on the two of them, and it wasn't long before she stood towering over them, eye lashes fluttering prettily as she grinned at Liam. "You comfortable, then?" she asked Liam, a mischievous grin etched on her familiar features.

Liam stiffened slightly, preparing his body to get up quickly off the armchair, oh great you've gone and done something wrong you knob, before Zayn was pushing him back down with his hand. "No, meri jaan, keep sitting, it's no problem, Doni's being a dick," he pushed Liam down so he was perched precariously once again on the chair, this time a lot more aware of the people starting to taking note around him.

"Yeah, meri jaan, keep sitting," Doniya giggled at the pair. Liam flushed at the use of endearment in such a sarcastic tone that he missed Zayn's glare at his sister.

She rolled her eyes,"Ya Allah, Zayn's jaan I mean," Liam felt like he should maybe melt into a liquid that could escape through the tiled floor below his feet. Zayn, the bastard, grinned satisfactorily up at her.

Doniya turned to leave, shaking her head exasperatedly at Zayn, singing along with the song playing "Oh, Jeeja!", a line that apparently shocks a reaction out of her brother, who practically breaks his neck to frown at her. She giggles and speed walks away, leaving Liam thoroughly confused at his boyfriend's reaction.

Across the room, Yaser turned around and noticed the two of them sat there. A deep, resounding laughter came from him as he noticed his son and his boyfriend, and nudged his wife and his friends who took notice too.

Giggles and snickers were heard all around, as the group made their way towards them, Zayn's father leading the way.

Liam's eyes widened at the sight of the fast approaching group and shoved an elbow into Zayn's side, perhaps a little too forcefully, if the hiss and groan from his boyfriend was to be heard. Liam didn't care, oh no, he very much would like to get the shite out of there. This can't be good, he thought as Yaser opened his mouth to talk.

"Ah, beta, sab theek thaak?", he directed his question in Urdu at his son, a wide grin on his face. Zayn stared up stonily at his father, a careful mask of expression on his face, before replying with,"Han, kyun nai? sab theek hai," ending his sentence with a careless shrug.

Liam narrowed his eyes at him, his boyfriend was acting suspicious, not to mention speaking in Urdu, a fact that he avoids doing so since Liam always feels left out.

Then, came a sentence that he never expected to hear out of his boyfriend's father's mouth,"Didn't know you were in such a hurry to be married, beta, that's all."

Liam whipped his head towards Zayn, who had suddenly taken a great interest in his nail beds, yeah right.

All around him, people burst out laughing at his boyfriend which left Liam even more confused than when Yaser started speaking. He noticed Liam's predicament and decided to explain,"In mayoon, those who sit on the chairs of the bride or groom, tend to get proposals within the year. Call it an old wives' tale, but we do it for fun sometimes."

He ended his explanation and turned to his son, who was still immersed in the absolute inconceivable science that was the structure of his nails. Yaser's lips twitched at his son's behaviour, ullu ko kuch nai sikhaya maine, before turning back to his party and leading them away from his boys, they needed the privacy for the conversation that followed.

Liam sat in silent shock, mouth agape and staring at his boyfriend of 6 years. Zayn wanted to be proposed to? Zayn wanted to get married?

A huff escaped him and he caught Zayn's sheepish and embarrassed expression, eyes flickering up to meet his then abruptly flitting away. Liam reached out to take his hand, a warm clasp and a gentle squeeze coaxed those beautiful eyes to meet his. A tentative smile from Liam and his boyfriend gave in, rolling his eyes at his idiotic behaviour and the act he pulled, as he explain to his boyfriend.

"I didn't know how to tell you, honestly, I sorta thought you might do it sometime soon, you know, but it's just- I saw Kainat getting proposed to and accepting it and planning her wedding and all that, and I just- I dunno, I guess I wanted that for myself too..." he trailed off mumbling and mincing his words, but Liam got the message loud and clear.

"All you had to do was say, babe. I thought you weren't ready and I didn't wanna push you but I guess..." Liam silenced his rambling, focusing instead on keeping eye contact with his boyfriend.

"I love you, babe, I do," he murmured assertively, squeezing his boyfriend's hand," and there is nothing in this world that is going to stop me from marrying your petulant arse."

"You love this arse," Zayn mumbled childishly, though a smile was already on his face. Liam only wiggled his eyebrows knowingly at him, getting a melodic giggle from his boyfriend. Before he could lean in to kiss the stupid smile off his face, Liam was suddenly assaulted with a gaggle of Zayn's cousins, all shouting in shrill voices "Liam, Liam, Liam, listen to me!"

Zayn silently turned to glare at them and widened his eyes at them and the eldest of them all shrunk back at the ferocity of it with a small 'oh'.

Aimen, Liam thinks her name is, turns back to him and repeats her plea, this time adding something at the end. "Liam Bhai, listen to us, please!"

Something short-circuited inside his brain, momentarily causing him to lose focus on everything around him. All that was ringing in his ears was the shrill, childish voice calling him 'bhai', a name Walihya sometimes calls her brother when she tackles him in a hug when they visit, a fond 'bhai' from the mouth of Safaa when Zayn eats sloppily at the dinner table, Trisha giggling silently at the disgust her daughter shows for her son's horrible eating habits.

Slightly emotional, and maybe a little love-drunk, Liam turns to Aimen, directing his entire attention to her. "What is it, love?" he asks her, ignoring Zayn who is sporting the biggest, goofiest and most douche-y grin his boyfriend has ever seen on him.

He looked smug. Yeah, yeah, thought Liam as he let Aimen pull him away from the 'magic' chair and into the swarm of family members all huddled on the dance floor.

Translations: Aaye laariye ni tera sehreya wala wyaanwan ayaa" (O darling bride, your handsome bridegroom has come to wed you)

Mayoon is a Pakistani pre-wedding custom during which the bride dresses in yellow and sits in seclusion before her wedding day. Nowadays, mayoon is a festive ceremony, sometimes with the groom as well, where people dress up in yellow or green, gather in a congregation and have something to eat, dance and sing all night long.

Jeeja means brother-in-law

sab theek thaak means is everything alright? han kyun nai? sab theek means yeah why not? its all good ullo ko kuch nai sikhaya maine means I haven't taught this idiot anything

Bhai means brother (used to refer to brothers older than you).

Hahaah.

Imagine Sakura's enormous sexual frustration. She's in the body of an 18-year-old, with the hormones of an 18-year-old, she's actually 36 in mind, she hasn't had sex with her delicious husband in 6 years, which was alright in the first few years but grew to be really painful around her 16th. With Kakashi strutting around, innocently unaware of the perverted thoughts she has about him. Like, at one point, he might have noticed her but the poor guy has no idea she's so ridiculously in love with him. He does feel like something's a bit odd though.

Like, he coming late again and no - surprises there. But Sakura comes even later. And actually no one's really that surprised because ever since she came to the past, she hasn't once come before Kakashi.

And at one point Kakashi's like: You could've at least pretended to not know I'd be so late. I'm wounded by your opinion of me, Sakura.

Sakura (who's always refused to call him Kakashi-sensei): Oh dear. We both know you probably spent the night getting drunk with Yamato. It was your birthday after all.

Naruto : It was your birthday Kaka-sensei? Why didn't you tell us, dattebayo?

Kakashi *sweatdrops again*: Sakura, I think you have an inexplicably good intuition on what I do in my free time.

Sasuke (to himself) : You have no idea how kuch she wants to be one of the things you do in your free time.

Kakashi: What was that?

Sakura: One more word and I'll neuter you, Sasuke! I don't care you're one of my best friends, you're going down.

***

Later, when Sakura tells Kakashi everything, including the fact that she loves him.

Kakashi (with his mask down, smiling like someone who's been hit with a pan on the back of their had) : You love me?

Sakura: *nods slowly, with a wide smile herself*

Kakashi: I get to have you?

Sakura: Yes, you silly men. And I get to have you.

If anyone has any more headcanons, please add them. We (the kakasaku community) probably won't ever write this fic but headcanons are fun.

It's so hard when you ship Sakura with both Naruto and Kakashi

Like I think AU fanfic kakasaku is my fave but I'd read something and see a narusaku encounter and be like - oh now I wanna read a narusaku fic.

Btw is there a time travel fanfic where 30 years old Sakura travels back to her gennin days and she's actually married to Kakashi in the future and it's all very awkward cause now she's physically twelve but at the same time she's mentally 6 years older than him. But at least she pays no attention to Sasuke, other than the occasional "God, you're so cute, a smol vengeful baby. Grow up a little, will you?"

No?

Damn, I was hoping someone would've written it.
