our rainbow-coloured days will advance forward, so shine forever

❤︎ summary : Yuuka, a completely ordinary magicless girl, finds herself in an incomprehensible predicament. Soulmates appeared in the human world only a few decades ago and still have many inconsistencies, but Yuuka's case, to her dismay, becomes rather unprecedented.

Apparently, her soulmate is waiting for her somewhere beyond this world. ❤︎ tags : female reader, soulmates, reader is yuu, sfw, fluff, pining in some chapters, one character = one soulmate prompt ❤︎ ao3

⏤ . . . prompt : when soulmates listening to music at the same time, they can hear what the other one is listening to ⏤ ❤︎ before reading : book one spoilers; references to the previous chapters of this work! (it's just for fun, don't assume they're connected, chapters are completely separated from each other); my personal hc: twisted wonderland has its own language

Being in a Light Music Club was everything Cater could dream of. Having fun time with his friends, doing music when melodies just popped in his mind randomly and somehow arranging into pleasant songs to hear was his greatest joy and outlet. Life is great as it is, but it’s way cooler when you can wash your dishes listening to a masterpiece that just happened to come into the mind and then BAM! and you can be a blockbuster character smashing bad guys and accidentally saving the world (Cater is a little bit sorry for the dishes he broke, maybe not so accidentally he thought he would).

Cater could imagine himself an idol, painting roses red in the graceful yet powerful little dances he did, musical notes lined up in his head, as if playfully running down the stairs, hurrying somewhere and laughing.

He considered joining Vil’s club just for starring himself in a shoujo drama when he felt how melancholy hit him just right so he isn’t really sad, but a modest glimpse of ennui invaded his mind.

Life is beautiful when it has the magic of music within. Instrumentals he did were both enchanting and light at the same time, as if emphasizing on Cater’s personality.

Cater was pinning up his hair with a bobby pin Lilia gave him as a gift of sorts, looking absolutely concentrated on something, his hand holding a pen, copybook pages wrinkled here and there, peculiar stickers on the margins. He was mumbling something to himself with his headphones on when Riddle approached him.

“Cater-senpai, it’s your time to paint— Ah, you’re doing it again.”

The presence of Ace and Deuce behind the dorm leader’s back remained completely unnoticed by Cater, who was immersed in writing as if he was possessed. Unidentified symbols, signs and translation filled pages up, some of them were messy as hell, some arranged in a neat way.

Ľ̶̳̀o̷̧̓͗v̶͓̖̟̀e̷̡̱̻͗ = love. Confirmed! idk how tho just have a feeling

S̴̨̅̃̚k̸͔̎̚y̷̱̳̍ = sky?..

Ḓ̸̆͜r̷̗̋̍͊e̴͍̪̔͂͐à̶̝̭̫̐m̸̯̫͎̍̏̂ = dream maybe

Words like ̴̧̗͂͌̋‘̷͓̬͓̈́s̴̘̓̐a̸̱̘̓̓͐d̶͍̿̊’̸͚̭̇̊̃ͅ,̶̣͋́ ̵̞̖͌̋‘̷̖͂̽̏ḑ̵̽a̸͔͛̉̋ŗ̴̼͉̂k̷̡̮̟̈́’̷̤͉̰͂͝,̸̖͍͋ ̴̧̛͓‘̸̼̫̓b̵̪͑̋̌r̶͔̯̱͛ơ̶̈͊͜k̴̫̍̈́̆e̷̱̔̍ǹ̶̗͖̙͐̎’̷̮̬͑̎͠,̶̞̌̇́͜ ̶͓̗̦̅͊͝‘̴̨̫́̑h̸̤̺͂̆ͅe̸͇͉̿a̶͙͉͐ṟ̴͈͌̕ṱ̴̤̔’̴͔̘̓̎͝,̴̪̰̐̓͠ ̴͇̹̻̌͝‘̸̨̹̟̾̉̅s̸̨̉͂o̸̪̮͆u̷̥̎͝l̷̛̖̰̥̈́̈́’̸̠̈͑̊ are used in a negative connotation, but it is acceptable to use some of them in a positive way. These words are often used in opposition to each other, more detailed study is required.

Cater bit his lip, carefully listening to the sad melody that almost made him cry, but he felt that this was not the time and place for this.

“What’s with Cater-senpai?..” Deuce said subtly.

“Yeah, I never saw him in that state before.”

“It’s understandable since you’re the first-years,” Riddle let out a sigh, taking a peek on Cater’s notes. “First of all, it’s only you two who don’t make any effort in studying…”

“But Cater-senpai isn’t studying anything related to NRC either!”

“Yes, that is the problem… He’s still much more devoted than you two,” Riddle sighed once again. “In any case, Cater has been writing something for a whole time I know him.”

Cater, who didn’t pay any attention to a cute little troublemakers aka ADeuce duo and his own dorm leader, suddenly giggled and turned to them.

“Guys, I’m right here, just tag me and I’ll answer asap,” he closed his copybook, standing up from the chair. “I guess you’re interested?”

“We are,” Deuce confirmed.

“Welp, don’t you guys know I’m a musician?” ADeuce duo replied with incoherent mumbles, while Cater just giggled once again and Riddle decided to give up on them all. “Aight, that’s it for now, throw your likes at my newest reels on MagiCam and I’ll tell you the rest~ Okie, off to painting roses now, bye-bye!”

“Somehow he’s easy to understand and somehow he’s not at the same freaking time,” Ace let out a little ‘tch’ sound when Riddle warned him about his wording.

“I know you won’t be over until he tells you something, so in order to prevent your antics, I’ll give you a hint. These notes are related to his soulmate.”

“Cater-senpai has a soulmate?!”

“Now, off to your studies!!”

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Cater didn’t hide that he had a soulmate. Why would he when their bond was so beautiful and charming? He loved music, his soulmate was connected to music too. The simplest formula to learn by heart, interesting to analyze and just right to mess with.

Cater-senpai, have you figured out who your soulmate is?

Cater, you do realize no one in Twisted Wonderland can speak this language? You can’t speak something all alone and claim it as a language at this point.

It was difficult sometimes. He heard Deucey managed to find his soulmate in a very cringey way which quickly became a hot-topic on MagiCam. Speaking about MagiCam, Vil was always mentioning how his soulmate’s fashion sense improved thanks to him. Was it Leona who showed up in an auditorium with a strong floral scent around him? Even his fellow Lilia somehow didn’t lose his mediator this time!

Cater smiled to himself, brushing off his open jealousy. He had a soulmate, everything was fine.

It just happened so they were not from Twisted Wonderland. Or maybe they existed long ago and he was attached to a ghost. Or maybe both.

He didn’t want to admit he missed them. How would they look when they listened to a fluffy pop song the other day? What kind of expression would they make when his ears were flooded with a dreary ballad? Were they screaming and going a little crazy when they listened to heavy metal? It would be so cool to introduce them to his friends, make music together…

Life is beautiful when it has the magic of music within. Cater put on his headphones, volume is just enough to hear Riddle in case he shows up to check if the roses are painted in a deep-red color or did he accidentally choose a lighter one. He was in the mood for something melancholic, maybe relaxing. His sunny side covered behind a dark ephemeral veil.

He pressed a button on his sad songs playlist, making it shuffle, so he wouldn’t know which one starts playing right now. He memorized all the lyrics with more devotion he would actually admit even to himself, a vulnerable part of him showing so seldom to others they didn’t even know it existed.

First ten seconds played, and he grabbed a brush, dipping it in a jar of scarlet paint, and faintly inhaled the enamel alcohol smell. Smooth relaxing instrumental with a sweet vocals complimented his mood perfectly, and—

“O-oh!..” he suddenly jumped out of surprise, almost dropping the brush he was holding, a few scarlet stains appearing on his uniform. “Jeez, wrong timing…”

EDM song popped in his head, unknown language invaded his mind once again, unfamiliar instrumental causing him to listen to carefully.

Look, he wasn’t in the mood for an experimental song with unique beats and contemporary R&B hints! He wanted to indulge in melancholy and mourn at least a little! He wished his soulmate could figure it out from listening to what he was planning to listen to. But why in the world did the song happen to be so addictive?..

His soulmate was his guardian angel and worst nightmare at the same time. He couldn’t even understand if he was either sad or hyped up right now, but the song caused him to do a thing that started as a little dance and ended up being a whole damn performance.

Words in unknown language slipped his lips, making many first-years who were in the garden at the time turned their heads to Cater singing his heart out, almost guessing which line would come up next.

The song was playing on repeat, and Cater left his sadness long forgotten, all roses were perfectly painted with the exact color scheme Riddle wanted to see, and in the end he just fell on the grass, staining his uniform and making it messy, but he didn’t care.

“ Can I be your boyfriend, can I?.. ” Cater sang along with the singers. “I wonder if it means what I think it does.”

Whether his soulmate really liked this song and wanted Cater to become an addict too or was they just hyping him up — he didn’t know.

But was grateful anyway.

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

It was next year when the headmaster suddenly announced a small concert which of course should be well prepared by the Light Music Club.

Something to celebrate that Riddle has overcome his overblot and nobody got hurt, just a little party with cool music for everyone to have fun and— oh please, the members didn’t even dwelled on details since every party should include only three things: fun, them and some spiciness to end the day to make it even more fun!

“Yo, guys, let’s gather some ideas!” Cater suggested, mindlessly plucking guitar strings and smiling at Kalim and Lilia who were just as enthusiastic as he himself.

“How about we do covers of the latest popular releases?” Kalim answered. “You know, ‘Piece of my world’ as an opening would do!”

“Hoho, true!” Lilia glanced slyly at Cater’s copybook he always carried around. “And how about we produce our own song?”

“Oooh! Such a great idea, Lilia!!” Kalim seemed to be on cloud nine, while Cater certainly did catch a hint Lilia gave to him. “What’s your thoughts, Cater?”

“Actually… Yeah, why not!” he opened his copybook, Kalim and Lilia immediately got closer. “How about we practice singing in an unknown language my soulmate speaks?”

Kalim and Lilia, experimental they are, agreed and dwelled on learning how the pronunciation system worked and the way words formed into sentences… Everything was great, Kalim and Lilia throwing conspiratorial glances at each other which remained unnoticed by Cater while he was explaining, his eyes shining with a joyful gleam, proud smile on his face.

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Yuuka did her best trying to guess what kind of language was occupying her head since she got her first mp3 player.

Her parents were questioning her whether she was alright with staying in her room for a whole day, doing her research about ancient languages. Her sudden passion awakening was very welcomed by them, but it was quite concerning at the same time.

“Who do you want to be when you grow older?”

A steady answer, no hesitating in her voice and pride in the eyes of teachers and her parents.

“A philologist.”

She could grasp languages quite easily, as if she seized a natural talent and congenital predisposition to understand any language she piqued her interest in. But it was never enough.

What the hell was ‘L̶̩͛̒̑ê̷͍̰̮ṱ̸̋͝’̶̝̲͓̂s̶̳̍͜ͅ ̵̡̐͑̽g̷̪̽̔ö̵͎̤̊̐ ̶̹̗̀́͐t̸̻͗o̸͓̟̓̉ ̷͎̔̆W̴̙̑o̶̱̪̬̓n̴̩̘̈́d̵̡̳̓̌͒e̴̥̙͆̉r̶͉̔l̷̘͍̎̿̕ä̶̯͉́͗n̶̛̞̙̿̐d̸̢̮̯͌̚!̷̯͚̋͒͆͜’ ?

She studied Japanese, it was a bit similar, but she just felt symbols were different, pronunciation differed from Japanese she knew, there were no hints of Chinese or whatsoever, so what the hell was it? Some kind of old dialect which sunk into oblivion and was lost on the pages of ancient history?

The times she wasn’t so immersed in studying and making her own dictionary she just enjoyed her soulmate’s music taste. A great variety of genres, from EDM to classical masterpieces embraced her, sometimes empathizing her mood one day and causing her to turn her current feelings upside down from sad ones to all giddy and sweet another.

It was a gloomy rainy day when her favorite idols dropped their new album. A cheerful song with nice encouraging lyrics made her feel so much better she decided to put it on repeat, but oh well, her soulmate had other plans.

She knew she couldn’t listen to it while her kindred spirit was apparently feeling down, but still…

They were nice. She wanted to believe a person with such a rich music taste can’t be bad. It was naive, childish and not so smart of her, but there was a little glimpse of genuine hope her soulmate was mentally alright. The amount of times they listened to sad songs got her almost depressed too, so she thought maybe… just maybe there was a way to cheer them up?

Yuuka swallowed her desire to enjoy the newest release, so that her soulmate could rewind and wait a little longer until they find each other?

She could never forget that day she cried so hard at the lyrics she couldn’t take it more, tears trickled down her cheeks onto the pillow, and she tried to brush them away in vain with her sleeves, shuddering into sobs and hoping that she would soon be able to meet her kindred spirit.

Life is beautiful when it has the magic of music within, after all.

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

Cater once realized he didn’t hear peculiar language anymore.

Not so long after Riddle’s overblot he realized he missed how it sounded. Cater observed his notes over and over again, giving his soul into creating a perfect song for a concert, so he could at least make it stay in someone else’s memory, language remaining unforgettable.

Were they okay?

He wished for his soulmate’s health, hoping they just broke their phone or just went on a holiday somewhere so there was no internet connection.

He missed them badly, his feelings finding its way to the song he was arranging, sweet lyrics he hoped he guessed right were intertwining with a dashing instrumental, emphasizing on how he felt. It almost sounded like a love confession and it actually was, despite no one could figure it out. And there was no point in this since who actually cared? Cater used this little concert as a way to blurt out what his head was occupied with while others could just have fun and forget about it right away.

He ran his fingers along the strings, checking the guitar and making a light pleasant sound with it, and responded to the call of Lilia, who called him backstage.

He quickly returned to his position but was a bit startled when he saw Yuuka talking to Kalim.

Oh, what a girl she was. Mysterious, adventurous and sweet, they instantly hit it off, and even though they didn’t have much time to get to know each other better yet, they still tried to meet and buy some coffee while walking across the campus. She was so charming Cater thought he could just ask her out, guided by his curiosity all at once. Well, maybe he could try someday if she wouldn’t be against it.

She must have her soulmate too.

In any case, she spotted Cater entering backstage and promised Kalim to get in touch more often when she ran off to his senior and smiled back. They exchanged high-fives, an inexplicable electrical impulse went through their skin, at which they laughed nervously and made up all sorts of jokes every time, as if they were comic book characters with superpowers to control electricity.

“Yo, Cater. Looking handsome as always!” She complimented him, winking playfully at which he giggled in a response.

“What a cutie you are, Yuuka~ What are you doing here?”

“Don’t tell me I wasn’t invited to your concert!”

“Aha, no, not that. Backstage, I mean.”

“Just wanted to cheer you up! I’m so excited since Kalim told me you made a brand new mind-blowing song. How could I not be so hyped up?”

“Oh, gotta have a little talk with him about spoilers! Anyway, thank you. Are you in the front row?”

“I am! Actually… Have this!” She gave him a cute little cat sticker, and Cater almost thought it was a Grim-looking image of a cat, but then noticed it was white and had a pink ribbon on its ear. “Consider it lucker charm. It’s the last sticker from my world.”

“Eeh? Why would you give me something so precious?”

“In exchange I want you to make me listen to a total bop, a soty no one can ever beat. So, deal?”

“You sound like Azul though,” Yuuka gave him a questioning look, noticeably confused at who Azul was. Ah right, she might have not encountered him yet anywhere beside the opening ceremony. “Alright, just you wait!”

He tucked this cute little sticker in his pocket, making sure Yuuka found her way to the front row and gave her a thumbs-up as the concert began.

⊹₊┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✿ㆍ┈ㆍ┈ㆍ┈₊⊹

The atmosphere at the concert was amazing. Soon everyone was jumping up from their seats, giving in to the rhythm and entangling their partners and friends in an energetic dance. Kalim came up with several games to raise interest, Lilia almost scared the crowd away when he decided to give out free homemade cakes.

“Alright, guys, it’s time!!” Kalim announced when the crowd was all hyped up.

“We decided to surprise you with something absolutely unique!” Lilia added, adjusting his guitar on his shoulders.

“Let me explain, guys!” Cater took a sticker out of his pocket, inadvertently sticking it on the body of the guitar and giving Yuuka a quick, amused look. “I believe almost all of you know I have a soulmate, but now it’s time to spill the beans!”

“Yay, tea!” Yuuka encouraged him, causing the crowd to giggle at her commentary.

“Actually me and my soulmate can hear songs we’re listening to! But the thing is, no one in Twisted Wonderland speaks their language. So we’ve decided to write a song in it, it’s a total bop, hope you’ll like it! Alright, let’s get it!”

Yuuka felt something prick in her heart, and clenched her shirt in her fists involuntarily.

She closed her mouth with her hands when she heard words in a familiar language fall from Cater’s lips. Her heart beat fast in anticipation of the next lines, and the world seemed to cease to exist, shrinking to the size of her, standing right next to the stage, and Cater, who was looking somewhere into the void with such a dreary and dreamy look that she was ready to burst into tears at that very second.

The song was coming to an end when Yuuka lost her composure and began sobbing, while everyone around her was dancing energetically, managing to sing along here and there. Suddenly Cater switched to a gentle whisper, not realizing he was hearing him singing as if everything happened from the perspective of another person.

“E̵̤̎v̵̥̎ḛ̴͗n̷͙͗ ̶̛̠ị̵̀f̴͔̚ ̵͍̊t̸̙͋h̴̘́e̵̝̊ ̴̝̈w̶̦͒ǫ̷͑r̵̯̚ḻ̷́d̶̝̚ ̸̀͜i̶̮͛s̶͎̈́ ̴͓̿e̷͕͛ń̷̦d̷̹͘i̵̛̘n̵̼͠g̸̹̈”, he sung in a dreamily manner.

“I̴ ̸w̶a̶n̸n̴a̶ ̶r̴o̷c̸k̴ ̵w̴i̴t̷h̷ ̷y̴o̷u̵.”

“I wanna stay with you.”

When the song ended, the audience burst into applause. Some whistled at the performers, some shouted in delight, and only Yuuka stood alone in front of the stage, trembling in tears.

“Hope you liked the song!” Cater announced, not noticing he lost his hair tie and his ginger strands disheveled on his face.

Kalim stayed on the stage, suddenly turning into a DJ and giving Lilia and Cater a break during which Cater wanted to find Yuuka and ask her opinion.

He did find her still trembling in shock and went blank himself. Oh Sevens, what did he do wrong? Was his voice so bad it was unbearable? Or—

“H-hey, Yuuka, are you alright?..”

“You just had to arrange such a cheerful sounding song with such heartbreaking lyrics?!”

Cater thought his heart could combust right there. She was the only one crying while everyone was having fun, not even taking at least a little guess on what he actually meant. There was no way he could be wrong. Was there?..

“Wait,” he chuckled nervously. “Wait, wait. What do you mean?..”

“Ah, Cater, just…” she shuddered, swallowing back her tears and smiling a little sadly.

Yuuka sighed, placing a hand on top of his own and stepping a bit closer to him, suddenly noises around them reduced, as if someone turned it off like an old annoying radio.

“I wanna stay with you too. If you’re okay with it.”

Was it her voice, steady and confident, or maybe the way she sounded so crystal clear, her pronunciation neat and pleasant to hear, so Cater just enveloped her in a hug, smiling like an idiot and completely ignoring Lilia whistling alongside with the crowd?

“Suddenly you’re making it so corny like we’re a couple at a football match who just got spotlighted and forced to kiss each other,” she chuckled, welcoming his warm embrace.

“Aha, voicing out loud your desires?” she hit him slightly and burst into laughter at his response. “Ah, I know!”

He guided her on stage, while she cringed at the way he suddenly considered her some sort of a princess, but nevertheless Cater’s eyes were reminiscent of a flickering pink little hearts while he looked at her with pure adoration.

“Can I be your boyfriend, can I?”

Pink dusted her cheeks as she nodded and giggled when he pressed a sweet smooth kiss on the corner of her lips, accompanied by cheers from the crowd.

“Heya, Cater, what did you saaay!~” Kalim asked when Lilia came to him.

“Do you think it is really important? Besides, their actions speak louder than words.”

Yuuka giggled once again, the warm feeling of Cater’s lips still remaining on her skin.

“Actually,” she smirked. “The whole first verse was horrible, you got clauses all wrong, but I could give you bonus points for your pronunciation.”

“Hey!! We were working hard on that part!”

“Sure, sure,” she snuggled closer to him, her legs dangling off the stage randomly, like a child who has just been given a candy that one has wanted to eat after being forced to eat plain porridge. “But at least you have me to help you now!”

Life is definitely beautiful when it has the magic of music within.

okay someone in the johann vs charlie kelly poll used a major spoiler that i was trying to avoid in my own propaganda to insinuate that johann wasn’t pathetic AT ALL. and as much as i was trying to avoid using that plot point as propaganda it’s fair game now bc what they said does NOT prove he is un-pathetic. so big balance spoilers ahead:

-Johann damn near objectively does NOT die a hero’s death. his death become a catalyst to inspire the world, that much is true, but that is never what he WANTED and I think a lot of people forget that. Johann did not sacrifice himself for a noble cause. He did not willingly give himself up for anything. He died CONFUSED and SCARED, unaware of what was even happening to him! what he does after is heroic, but the death itself is pitifully mundane and cruel!! that’s so important and, personally, much more interesting than if he willingly gave himself up, but it’s also still a little pathetic!!!

-Just before Johann dies he thinks the Voidfish is finally communicating with him. he thinks the Voidfish is singing to him because it likes the song he’s playing. the Voidfish is singing for Magnus, who is BEHIND Johann. how is that alone not extremely pathetic, that even moments before his death he is given the false hope that the Voidfish would communicate with him directly?

-Yes the Voidfish returns it’s love by releasing his songs across all realities, but the fact of the matter is it only ever reciprocated Johann’s dedication and admiration in his DEATH. that is not the fault of Johann, but it is nonetheless extremely pitiful, as I have repeated BEFORE, that he was unable to capture the attention of the Voidfish for his years alive because he simply was not on the Voidfish’s highest priorities.

-Less strong of a point, but one I think is important: a death of heroism does not negate the life of patheticness he lived. My other propaganda of him being pathetic in life does not go away for the act of heroism he did. If that was the case then a good chunk of people in this scuffle shouldn’t be here! To say he’s the least pathetic character in all of Balance just because he died in the way he did is insane! LOOK AT MY PROPAGANDA AND THE FACTS, BOY /lh

I really hope that my dedication to saying Johann is pathetic isn’t coming off as rude, as hate for him, or insinuating he isn’t a deeply important character who did something incredibly good for the world of Balance! Hell, I’m not even saying he should win anymore, I know this is a sinking ship and that he’s going to lose against Charlie Kelly’s sopping wet pathetic ass. I am saying all of this out of an extremely deep love for him, as a person who has been attached and analyzing his character ever since his literal debut! And I think with that expertise I can come to the conclusion that he is loveable, heroic, AND pathetic. #bardboyswag.

Feel free to use spoilers as propaganda, all we ask is that you let us know when you do so we can tag it! Or tag it yourself, if you're adding them in reblogs or tags.

This entire competition is about celebrating pathetic men, we're not hating on anyone. We love these characters and what they bring to a narrative! Don't worry about coming off rude, we're just having fun and you're not being mean at all here.

Anyways... god, I forgot that it didn't even sing to him, it was to Magnus. That's so SAD. It's been a while since I listened to Balance, it was so good tho, and my go-to example of a popular good plot-driven d&d campaign (as opposed to the more sandbox-y Critrole). Good stuff.

WAIT WHAT DID THEY DO TO AKIHIKO IN RELOAD..... hes my fave and i was reading ur tags and now im scared 0_0 (spoilers are cool ive played the original im just curious)

p3 reload spoilers just in case

its so hard to explain bc i suck at words but a lot of reload rewrite kind of gives a lot of the characters basically 1 or 2 personality traits and it’s super annoying LMFAO

the characters are basically at their best when the game is just the story and lines that were taken from the original game 😭

anyways. idk if you’ve been unlucky enough to experience persona 4 arena ultimax but basically in that game aki is literally addicted to protein and constantly brings it up (it’s annoying as fuck) and they took that and put it into reload + if not protein, every other line is him talking about training and fighting and working out and being an overall meathead

i understand his character and i understand his obsession with getting stronger, but the way those lines are written i don’t think seem reflective of “i need to get stronger to protect everyone”, and instead seem like all that bounces around his brain is fighting and the gym if u know what i’m saying 😭😭😭

same goes for aigis and the constant repetitive “as they say” after every phrase she utters

+ aki and mitsurus friendship has been watered down to mitsuru basically babysitting akihiko where in the original you could actually tell they were friends who respected and liked each other. aki (and shinji) are like afraid of her and make it seem like she’ll hurt them if they speak out of line 😭 it’s so annoying

his new voice isn’t a huge deal for me (tho i still very much prefer his old one) but imo it doesnt help when it comes to the annoying tweaks they made to his personality

also his social event is ass im sorry if anyone liked it but it was really corny and i didn’t like it. if u want to see akihiko fight 11 gang members and win then i guess you’ll enjoy it. and let me not even go into detail about the scene where he talks about his dead sister and then right afterward he says “now where’s that protein powder”

tldr everything reload added to him pretty much sucks while everything taken from the original is fine ✌️

(my brother and i have been playing it and this might just be us but we’ve both agreed that it also kind of feels like he doesn’t really have a huge presence in the game, as in he doesn’t hit as hard as he did in the original)

#ask #rant #im very passionate about how much i really don’t like reload aki #his model is nice and his sprites look good #but when he opens his mouth it’s genuine disaster #it actually pisses me off #anyways #thanks for the ask!

16, 17, 28, and 37 for the fanfic ask game!!!

-@bi-bats (i have a sideblog and the laws of the land are not in my favor. Thus, anon ask)

(Also bestie it is 3:20am for me i feel you on the should be sleeping 😂)

waiting for the day tumblr lets us ask things from sideblogs 😔

oof well i’m glad i’m not the only one up way past sleeping time 😂😂😂

thank u for asking, i had fun with these~

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

Jason Lives AU 😌

Okay no, for real xD As much as I do love that AU, that’s not my answer xD I am a big fan of AUs in general & am pretty much willing to read any regardless of whether or not I’m familiar with any source material OR if it’s not a genre I enjoy. (Bc it’s fanfic & my fave/one of my fave pairings so like. It’s always a genre I enjoy!)

One of my favorite AUs I’ve read tho is this one, which isn’t shippy, altho the writer does write Jaytim. It’s just… a really creative alternate origin for Tim & I love it. (Also! Gender-fluid/trans!Tim!)

Robin, Flamebird, & Sparrow - Moxibustion — Batman and Robin get injured a lot in the field. It's a fact, they can't deny it. Somehow this lead to them gaining their very own paramedic.... whether they want one or not. It's fine, sort of? Now if only they could get their erstwhile paramedic to stop getting hurt...

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

Highly specific AU? One based off of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. Basic premise? Necromancers are extremely powerful, but due to the way their powers feed off of life, they’re also very sickly looking and physically weak. They are paired up with cavaliers from a young age, who swear vows to protect them from harm (vows which include the phrase, “One flesh, one end”) & serve their needs. The original plot is also enemies to lovers, so like??? Yes.

Anyway, my thought is that Jason ends up as Tim’s cavalier, unwillingly, but as they grow closer, they become fonder of each other.

IDK if I would want to include the Lyctorhood plot (which, what Lyctorhood ultimately is does count as a spoiler for the first book? So I won’t explain it here just in case!) but. I do think the dynamics there would be fun~

28. Does anyone read your fics before you post them? If so, who?

Sometimes I ask @candra-hearts to look over them. She may not be in this fandom, but she’s wonderful & helps me figure stuff out when I need it. Otherwise it’s just me~

37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?

Oh, jeez. Honestly the amount of traction / attention all of my fics have gotten is more than I expected ^^; I love my writing but it’s always a surprise when other people do too!

But, hmm. I’ll say this one (features smut). It was the first tagged JayTim fic I posted xD (I have a pre-relationship Reverse Robins series as well, but haven’t tagged the pairing yet).

#asks and answers #bi-bats #i love ur url btw #i also almost did an animorphs fic for animal transformation during jaytimweek #but real life happened & i didn’t get anything done

Spoilers ig for the just rolled for pd s2 ep17 (also cw for use of the term qu**r, in reclaimed and academic usage, I self-identify as such and feel comfortable using the term, but I understand why others don’t).

Honestly I’m okay with GhostKnife not being reciprocated. I’ll feel bad in the moment for Will sure, but I know it’ll serve the story the crew want to tell and trust it will be played well.

Now I’m not saying that I dislike GhostKnife, it’s a compelling pairing with a strong basis in canon, and I reckon the guys could pull it off really well if they decide that’s how they wanna take this subplot. And Will’s crush is canon! William is a canonically bisexual character who gets to progress the plot and have interesting dynamics with other characters, all whilst being queer and all that having nothing to do with his queerness and without it being ignored (I can’t say the same for another William...Duffers). We know that the relationship going to become more story relevant, and will be addressed. The crew aren’t ignoring it for the sake of baiting a potential queer audience like larger studios do, this show is independently run, and funded and consumed by a predominately queer audience

Similarly, jrwi isn’t your regular show that’s written by a team, who hand scripts off to voice actors who are hired to read a character’s lines; If Condi and/or Slime don’t feel comfortable role-playing that or don’t know where to take the pairing, they don’t have to. I’d rather it not become canon than it be done poorly, ya know? That’s what fanfiction’s for anyways (that just might be my cynicism from being in the IT fandom leaking through tho).

And honestly I’d be refreshing to see a queer teen pairing not eventuate into a romantic relationship - not because one of them dies or a big dramatic coming out scene that gets rejected - but simply because they’re young adults who still need to figure themselves out, and have the literal weight of the world on their shoulders. Media with lgbtq+ characters are honestly swamped by copious amounts of teen-mlm-slow-burn-pining. The jrwi boys can break the mold if they want to.

This post isn’t meat to disway people from liking the ship, making content for it, or wanting them to get together (I’d be a bloody hypocrite on all three counts if I was), but - even though we’re not as bad as twitter can be - I think the fandom might need a friendly reminder in case GhostKnife doesn’t become canon and a vocal few flip their lid.

TL;DR - GhostKnife is a great pairing but I wouldn’t be disappointed if it does not become endgame, ultimately it’s up to the crew and what they want for their characters, and if you don’t like that then write your own ig.

read the tags btw for more thoughts but ramble-y

#im writing with the assumption the ccs won't see this lol #it's nothing bad #i just don't wanna tell people how to write their show ya know?#this isn't a 'they gave us so much stop being demanding' or 'liking a thing for its ships is shallow' bs self-aggrandising post btw #i want and definitely believe it could turn out great and be fun to watch unfold #and maybe im being parasocial who knows #but fandom can be like that even in good ones #ghostknife #jrwi prime defenders #jrwi ghostknife #jrwi pd #just rolled with it

To Be a Royal: Summary: In honour of their hard work and loyalty in the Devildom, MC has been knighted as Layde MC of the House of Lamentation.

Barbatos works with MC to try and teach them the manners and protocols of being a royal in the Devildom.

I Burn For You Summary: Since MC's arrival, Lucifer and them have never fully gotten along. There was always a large, unknown and undiscussed tension between them and they were fine to keep it that way. But when MC's security in the Devildom is threatened by both the angels and the nobility of the Devildom itself, everything changes. As a ruse to persuade the celestial realm, MC and Lucifer wed. After the ceremony, they finally talk about the unacknowledged feelings burning inside of both of them.

The Facade of the Suitor: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 to be written Summary: MC catches the eye of Lady Harlow, a higher demoness who has had a small feud with the brothers for centuries. She's determined to steal MC from them and keep MC under her wing. The brothers, however, are determined not to let that happen.

Double Vision Summary: It's the night before the first major test of the RAD school year, and MC has been holed up in their room all day. The brothers are concerned and go to check in on them, but they notice something different - MC is wearing glasses CW: Asmo being Asmo/Suggestive

Please Be The Flu Summary: MC hasn't been feeling too well, making Beel grow extremely concerned. After getting confirmation from Simeon that MC isn't sick at all, but rather pregnant, the two work together to keep it a secret from the baby's father. CW: Vomiting, This fic does have some SUGGESTIVE content. It's not graphic by any means, but just a heads up.

Never Letting You Go Summary: After running into a masked Lucifer, you did not escape. He caught you. They caught you. When you come through, the brothers, acting under the malicious cursed masks that they wear, are discussing just what they ought to do with you and your sparkling soul. What's a defenseless little human to do CW: Yandere behaviours, mentions of murder, cannibalism, violence/gore. This one is DARK guys. Please be careful while reading and be sure to practice self-care/awareness before, during, and after reading.

Deaf!MC AU

Devildom in Silence: Part 1, Part 2 Summary: One minute MC was sleeping in their cozy room in the human world, the next they're trapped in the Devildom with a bunch of, admittedly cute, demons and no hearing aids. Being deaf and surrounded by morons is not a good combo. TW: Anxiety/Panic Attack

Meetings of Greed and Envy: Summary: At the end of a very long first day in the Devildom with Satan, MC wanders off to the kitchen to get a snack...only to run into one Avatar of Greed who hasn't quite been brought up to speed on everything yet. Throw in an angry Leviathan and this day just could not get any worse.

criticism of the writing of bisco & pawoo’s relationship and ways it could have been improved. CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS UP TO VOL 7

this is not “boo straight people 🤢” or anything like that because i legitimately believe it COULD be good, but it’s done so bad in canon that it makes it difficult to enjoy their relationship. especially the writing of pawoo’s character in particular

Pawoo’s age is never revealed

we never learn how old pawoo is and this irked me from the very beginning. all we know is that she’s older than milo. I got weirded out by pawoo coming on to bisco in volume 1 because.... my guy was only 17. if pawoo was older than like 20 (which I personally believe she was) it would make things really weird/creepy and I’d rather their relationship just have never happened in this case (or not happen til much later). BUT assuming the age gap isn’t weird...

Pawoo & Bisco’s marriage happens against his will

Bisco is blindfolded and led into a room under the assumption that something different is happening. he doesn’t know he’s getting married until the vows are already said. also, the wedding happened at pawoo’s request because it was essentially her “final wish” before she planned to die in battle.

it’s a SUPER contrived way to put them together, especially because bisco barely even likes pawoo as a person yet. it only works out because bisco starts liking her a couple years later.

the marriage was half for comedic effect and half a bizarre plot to trick apollo.... but then they just decided to keep being married? tho honestly, this scene could have added a lot more comedy for later on if at the end of vol 3 when pawoo doesn’t die, she doubled back on her request like “oh... well. haha, sorry for making you do all that for me, let’s get divorced/pretend that never happened.” i think that would VASTLY improve the situation and be way funnier. ESPECIALLY when bisco starts liking her romantically, there could have been some jokes about re-falling for your ex or something. this would also have solved the issues stemming from...

Bisco stays married to her out of an arbitrary sense of duty

there’s nothing wrong with loving your wife. the problem is bisco DOESN’T love his wife for first like 2 or 3 years they’re together. he never considers leaving her, because the logic presented is that he’s now her legal husband, so he has a moral obligation to be nice and protect her forever because that’s his duty whether he signed up for it or not. this isn’t completely out of line with bisco’s character, but the author keeps bringing this up over and over unnecessarily and, once again, it feels very contrived. it’s like bisco is forcing himself to like her.

despite his supposed moral obligations, bisco and pawoo barely interact for the majority of vol 4 thru 6 (over a year!!!). the one time pawoo tags along on a trip (beginning of vol 4), bisco treats her like a nuisance for most of it. in vol 7 we learn that bisco has purposely tried to keep her at a distance in order to not interfere with her life/put her in needless danger, but that just feels like another reason they shouldn’t have been together yet?

Them being married adds nothing story-wise for multiple volumes

considering that pawoo is irrelevant to the plot of 4+5 and is brainwashed for all of 6, them being married adds nothing to the story there. had they NOT been married, it would’ve made the ending of 6 much more impactful when pawoo says she loves him and bisco admits he likes her too - they could’ve had a true reconciliation of their relationship and try to start rebuilding up to what they had accidentally forced themselves into in vol 3, rather than it feeling like “oh fucking finally, they like each other so now their marriage isn’t weird.”

i don’t think that removing the marriage would completely remove their ability to care about each other. if nothing else, pawoo is milo’s precious older sister and bisco is milo’s beloved partner. pawoo keeps imihama safe and bisco is trying to save the country from rust. plus they’ve fought together and helped each other out a lot in the past. they still have many reasons to want to jump in when the other is in danger.

Pawoo’s “character development”

put in quotes because she doesn’t get a lot beyond what we see of her in volume 1. pawoo is talked about A LOT in vol 7, but almost solely thru the perspective of what bisco is thinking about her - how he’s assumed what’s good for her life, etc - we’re not actually seeing pawoo herself.

her whole thing is that she’s ridiculously strong and hardheaded, but then she falls for bisco. in addition to the (potential) age gap problem, pawoo is also a bit... creepy? in how she approaches him sometimes. like she kisses him against his will (a problem with multiple other female characters as well), when bisco is turned into a literal child (vol 5) she comments that she’ll love him regardless of age.......??

the only development pawoo gets is THROUGH her relationship with him - discussed in some more detail in a previous post here. TLDR, we learn that pawoo does have a soft/caring side and she wants to become a good wife. there’s very little to learn about her outside of that. there are villains and minor characters who have far more depth or canonically noted personality traits than she does.

I honestly would love if more time was spent on pawoo as an individual. we get less backstory for the nekoyanagis than pretty much anyone else, but at least milo has a lot of personality and a huge character arc over the entire series. i really want to know about her and milo’s childhood especially - what was it like for her to lose her parents at a young age and have to take care of an infant brother? is that why she was so overprotective of him, because she knows what the loss of immediate family feels like? how/why did she come to be the leader of the imihama watch? did she have to make sacrifices to send milo to school and give him a better life than what she could afford for herself? what sort of things does she like to do? it’s hinted that she likes fashion and makeup, so is that something she’d pursue more if she had the time? how does she feel now that she’s separated from milo most of the time? does she trust in him a lot more than she used to?

pawoo COULD have so much to her if questions like the above were ever addressed, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i don’t even really mind that pawoo was absent from the main adventures in vols 2/4/5 since i’m not sure what she could’ve added. but it would’ve been cool to see more of her doing her own thing, especially if we saw more of her fighting, or moments building out her relationships with tirol and jabi, since they’re together in imihama a lot but we barely see their interactions. it’s not like the series is alien to the concept of throwing in chapters that interrupt the main plot progression.

HOW TO FIX THIS

I listed some of my ideas above, but to summarize things:

Vol 1: bisco/milo are made older, or pawoo is given an age that wouldn’t make things creepy

Pawoo doesn’t forcefully kiss bisco in front of milo’s damn face when she already knows he likes him. but there’s some signs that she’s into bisco too

More hints are given when she’s present in vol 2-beginning of 3

Vol 2: probably a good place to put the nekoyanagis backstory? since in this vol pawoo is still pretty protective of milo, so that could lead to a conversation where bisco asks him why she’s like that and then we get ~sad lore dump~. it would also help bisco come to respect/understand her more as a person.

Vol 3: bisco and pawoo get married to fulfill pawoo’s final wish. after the battle, when everyone is alive and well, she decides to annul the marriage and pretend it didn’t happen. she was supposed to take this fantasy to her grave, but now it’s a huge awkward point she has to remember every time she looks at her crush

Post-divorce, there’s plenty of jokes from milo or others about “getting back with your ex” etc anytime bisco and pawoo have a civil moment or one of them talks positively about the other.

Vol 4-5: character building moments where we see what pawoo and tirol are up to in imihama

Vol 5: remove the “i’ll love you regardless of age” comment please that’s literally it

Vol 6: the whole thing with pawoo being brainwashed, but still being able to break through the brainwashing due to her love for bisco, could stay exactly the same and still work. it would show how her feelings for him never went away and have really only intensified. when bisco saves her and they admit they like/love each other, they’re able to reevaluate their relationship. maybe they can try being a couple for real...?

Vol 7: we get to learn pawoo’s feelings of isolation FROM HER DIRECTLY and not through bisco’s interpretation of her thoughts. i want her to show that she is craving adventure and desperate to leave imihama.

it might even be good if at the beginning, pawoo and bisco have an argument that mirrors youkan/geppei where she gets angry at him for assuming what she wants.

End of vol 7: the trio runs away to live their best lives. both pawoo AND milo get married (unofficially because they all pissed off the government) to bisco? 😳😳

#sabikui bisco #sbkb summary series #<- for good measure ig since i keep putting all my meta there anyway

hi! do you know when you’ll be updating Miles Between Us? it’s my favorite fanfic ever!

to be completely honest, I wasn’t going to give any more hints on when mbu might be updated and just post the chapter randomly BUT my lovely friend and beta, heather @whaticameherefor said I should give the people (probably just like five people at this point) what they want.

so depending on my timing and heather’s timing, the next chapter of mbu will tentatively be posted this weekend. I know it’s been a long time but I always told myself I would see this thing through and especially lately, I have to hold myself to that.

that being said, heather also said I should give a little bullet point fun time to catch everyone up in case rereading is not your bag, which is totally and completely fair. below the cut you’ll find a very haphazard summary of where we are in the story 🎉 (spoilers if you haven’t read it) and as always, thank you all for being the best 🥰

I was going to summarize the road trip but it got too long. if you don’t remember it, i can sum it up in a few sentences. mickey is fresh out of prison, cranky and very suppressed. kind of hates everything. sandy is his cousin and best friend and ian is a cute hitchhiker who gives mickey the most gay panic. there’s also drug money and car hijacking and star gazing and ned being scummy toward ian.

after the road trip, mickey gets a wonderful parole officer named larry and starts working at Patsy’s, where surprise surprise Ian also works. there’s a lot of tension and awkwardness and sandy doing things behind mickey’s back.

mickey ends up meeting lip and they slowly become friends, all while mickey keeps an arms distance between him and ian. that doesn’t work tho bc mickey is shockingly jealous when ian starts hanging out with ned again. so much so that he goes to where they’re hanging and beats the shit out of ned for trying to take advantage of ian.

things are pretty good, all things considered and mickey is getting in tight with the gallaghers until nasty, gross, awful terry drags mickey back into the drug business against his will. mickey gets hurt and he closes himself off again when all he wants is a normal, happy life.

terry is an asshole and mickey wants to get out from under his thumb, which he does after he ignores orders and goes to a surprise party ian set up for his birthday. there’s roller skating, cute songs, falling, cupcakes, and a birthday smooch in an alley way.

mickey deals with the repercussions of disobeying terry but also his feelings for ian. it all culminates in terry destroying patsy’s and effectively mickeys livelihood and the gallaghers’. it’s really the straw that breaks the camels back and out of fear, mickey ends whatever is happening between him and ian.

sandy goes to jail, lip goes to rehab, ian runs away and mickey is all alone for six months~ depression and alcoholism spike. mickey has a new job at a bike shop run by brad but he mostly keeps to himself. lip insists he comes to hang out with the bike shop guys for their bonding time but mickey drinks too much and ends up hallucinating that ian is back.

one day though, who shows up at the shop but ian, who isn’t actually a dream abd is actually back. things are tense, even more so than before. mickey has to fight his feelings times a million. ian ends up tagging along for the guy trips and everything is just hard on mickey.

lip has started to rebuild patsy’s for fiona while mickey is paying his brothers off so they’ll leave him and sandy alone for the time being. during this time, ian and mickey agree to be friends and ian starts seeing someone new. mickey hates it more than words can describe and it leads him to hook up with one of the guys from the bike shop.

the drug business is getting rough so the milkovich brothers find out iggy has gone off grid and when mickey can’t tell them if he snitched, they go running to terry. terry goes to mickey’s workplace and beats him up but he’s caught in the act by lip, ian, and the other guys.

mickey’s shame and pride catch up to him and he has a full on break down — finally wanting to get out from under terry’s control and just live his life. ian comes to take care of him and the two come to an impasse of sorts, where they aren’t sure where they stand but know there’s more there worth exploring.

that was very much not eloquent in the slightest but I promise if you read it, it’s much more interesting and detailed than that mess I just wrote 😅

hi, I hope this isn’t rude or anything, but I’ve come across your account and love it! I was just wondering if you could tag your asks that contain manga spoilers under a tag that says such? like the jjk ones perhaps.

hi, love !! it’s not rude, but my account isn’t spoiler free or really friendly to newer readers of the manga. the information i gave that anon is from over a year ago and i’m not gna tag from past arcs since everything could be considered a spoiler in that case. my entire acc is my safe space to yap about jjk and i don’t want to stress out wondering if i’m spoiling a new reader LMAO. i do tag all spoilers from this year and the current arc under the appropriate tags tho, but sorry you were spoiled ! 🫶🏾

#៹ 🌺 ˚˖⁺ ♡ secretbox ! !#you can also mute uhhh #៹ 🌺 ˚˖⁺ ♡ lolly reads manga ! !#but other than that new spoilers will be under ‘jjk spoilers’

Haikyuu Fanfic recs: bamf/spy AU ;)

Hello loves! ~~Here I am, once again, not finishing one of the other drafts that I have and making a different post~~ (meant to be sung with the make it shine tune) Pretending like you didn’t just read that, I am here to recommend some bamf/spy AU fics because currently, that’s my vibe LOL. No this will NOT have mafia (even tho they are bamf’s) because this is supposed to be spy/secret agent orientated :))))))) (I say this, but if they overlap, they overlap.)

Because of the nature of this list, many of these fics will prolly be a little/lot graphic with their depictions of violence so beware and be warned! I won’t put individual warnings cause like I said these are all a bit graphic in their own ways. That being said, let’s get down to business (cause Mulan IS a bamf) ;)

As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for each fic before reading (ESP THIS LIST) and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

Super Spy Husbands by leurauxe /IwaOi/ I LOVE THIS SERIES AKJASFDJK READ IT. It’s SO good and I love their actions scenes and the BACKSTORY OMFG THE BACKSTORY. The proposal fic was SO GOOD AAJSFJLS. Like everyone is done so well in these fics and the plot progression? YES PLEASE.

Hell Mission by codename_bewareofthefangirl (T) 22.7k /IwaOi/ okay IwaOi yes yes but Akaashi? MVP boys. It do be like that sometimes hehe. Anyway, the interactions between them (IwaOi and the whole squad) are gold. Also Iwa and the shower scene? Yes daddy ;)

sorry baby by sketchedsmiles (M) 34.3k /SunaOsa/ THIS!!! Okay you might be thinking wow this seems weird but just read it. I love the way their relationship slowly comes to be and like at the end SakuAtsu just knows ajkfhaldjf. Also when Osamu did the thing (at the hotel) I FREAKED OUT LIKE WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT but it’s okay. They fixed it :’)

bang! now we're even by Authoress (M) 11.9k /BokuAka/ yes you might recognize this from my other post LOL, but I really love this fic so here it is. AGAIN HEHE. Also, Akaashi in a dress? Like the tags might state, what more do you need? The characters are done beautifully, and the story development is SO good (like THE TWIST UGH).

hq detective AUs by valiantarmor /BokuAka, KuroKen, IwaOi/ again, from that same post EHEHE. Man do I really love fighting in my fics LOL. This was super good and the plot itself kept me really engaged (what a twist omg). It does talk a bit about mental health issues, but it’s done so well, and they really did this AU justice! The three fics can be read separately BUT they’re all done so well, I think you should read them all :)

The One With The Spies by hangoverhater /Multi (but mainly IwaOi)/ PLEASE,,, the fics in this series? HILARIOUS. THE SECOND FIC ”Well, this is a nice change of scenery.” “It’s a prison cell.” “I was being sarcastic.” HAD ME DYING. Poor Daichi, he really needs those days off :)))))

on the eighteenth by skittidyne (T) 5k /KuroKen/ I love fics where the characters are forced to face their feelings. This is one of those fics LOL. It’s done so well and the small details (as Kenma loves) are inserted really well. Like the first night where they fake doing stuff? Amazing LOL.

Punches by Sebastians_senpai (M) 1.5k /IwaOi/ hot Iwa hot bamf Iwa. Like entrance? Hot. Killing people? Hot. Anyway I want a boyfriend who will protect me if I get hurt. Can I be Oikawa? (you know being Oikawa would be an honor in itself)

just a boy undercover (and a boy with the getaway) by volchitsae (M) 14.1k /SakuAtsu/ twin fight rendition number idk but it’s good so whatever LOL. Is it really a SakuAtsu fic without one mention of a major twin fight? (probably yes but in this case no LOL) This one was SO good and I love how annoying Sakusa is >>>> for Atsumu. Also the acceptance at the end ajfakdlf HEART WARMED.

to crash in orbit by aceun (T) 2.8k /SunaOsa/ I LOVE BEING UNPROFESSIONAL ON THE JOB!!!!!! I adore how they know each other’s tendencies and how Osamu is like, I know he’s hot LOL. Also when they talked about Rome and Prague it made me laugh OMG. And RIP Osamu’s watch, worked hard never to be seen again LOL.

the unfinished kiss by Ellieb3an (E) 6.3k /SakuAtsu/ I told myself, less or no smut, but here we are. Honestly you’d think I learn I never stick to my own rules LOL. Anyway, this is SPICY so avoid if you don’t like smut heheh. I absolutely love when they use fighting as foreplay like adflkhf yes PUNCH HIS FACE (does that make me violent? probably LOL).

In knives and bullets by badreputation (M) 8.3k /SunaOsa/ UGH this one. Suna and Osamu’s relationship is *chef’s kiss*. And like I love how it isn’t too rushed and they took their time (also angry Suna is HOT). Like the tension at the house during the thing and then the PROPOSAL (LIKE YES). I always find myself coming back to this fic cause I just really love it <3

training by Sebastians_senpai (M) 3.2k /IwaOi/ again the smut.... ANyway, this one is some bamf Oikawa and head-made-of-steel Iwa LOL. Also some avengers talk makes it’s way up (and need I say, Iwa probably did look hot af when he did that), and him constantly hitting the other guy (cause spoilers hehe) made me laugh (ie. targeting LOL).

glass stained black by unrequitedangst (E) 31k /SunaOsa/ OKAY I said nO mAfIa Au’s well.... Technically it’s a SPY mafia AU so teehee. Also another repost cause why not LOL (but altered cause my writing is atrocious). The character development of Osamu is really legit and despite being mafia, it’s not that heavy or angst of a fic (but you should still definitely read tags and warnings first). It’s a non-linear fic (which I really liked, cause I love non-linear hehe) and the organization just adds another level to the fic development!

I love BAMF so if you have any to recommend, DO IT. Always up for more bamf/spy/secret agent AU’s HEHE. Also this turned into a collection of the same ships LOL IM SORRY, but I have a type and I think it’s very obvious hehe. I hope you all were careful about tags because I got lazy LOL. And this wasn’t in any particular order so I should’ve done it by ship, but I’m too lazy to do it now LOL. Hopefully, you all enjoyed this list and tbh for my other lists tbd, I might take out commentary and just put like the names (with links ofc). We’ll see LOL. Stay safe and have a great day! <3
