In the mood for...

Jan 1st

~*~

1. New year, new fics ahead, but before that - please rec me ONE fic you read last year ^^

i guess i'll have to change my plan by darjeelinh (E, 42k, WangXian, Modern, Meet-Cute, Falling In Love, Love at First Sight, First Kiss, First Time, Inspired by Before Sunrise (1995) and Before Sunset (2004), soft rom-com vibes, One Night Stands, but not really, Light Angst with a Happy Ending, they both have demi vibes in this fight me about it, Misunderstandings, Separations, Reunions, WangXian canon Elopement™️ shenanigans, now with art)

🔒 A Heart Undying by NonsensicalRambling (M, 114k, WangXian, Undead WWX, Canon-Typical Violence, canon-typical dead things the burial mounds, Fix-It of Sorts, Canon Divergence, Eventual WangXian, No Yīn Tiger Seal, Morally Gray WWX, Animals Eating People, WWX’s questionable choices, Morally conflicted LWJ, Oblivious WWX, WWX Creates a Sect | Yiling Wei, YLLZ WWX, Sect Leader WWX, LWJ & WQ have an Understanding)

And not only do we have the whole family bonding in the mountains we also have all of WWX’s past loved ones reincarnated as well this time all of them live and they’re all pretty tight knit, this WWX definitely has the support system #13 was asking for, but while it is an important plot point, it’s not the main point of the fic.

6. I'm in the mood for- A Chengqing arranged marriage AU with a happy ending? Also, no archive warnings or explicit sex, please? Thanks! @greyjedijaneite

❤️ And Time Is But a Paper Moon by sami (M, 138k, WangXian, XiChengQing, Time Travel, Fix-It, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Healing, Mental Health Issues, PTSD, Hurt/Comfort, Depression, BAMF WWX, BAMF JC, BAMF LWJ, BAMF JYL, Getting Together, And Time is But a Paper Moon [PODFIC] by sami, Winterstar1412, [Podfic] Cold read of And Time Is But A Paper Moon by kisahawklin, multiple translations available) sort of fits this prompt? It ends up being an asexual relationship between Wen Qing/Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen, and it is not the focus of the fic. I don't know if the ChengQing relationship counts as "arranged" since they both agree to it ahead of time, but it certainly is initially just got political reasons. They do very much end up with a happily ever after together and with LXC though!

More Then Friends, Always Yours

“I only see him as a friend” thats the biggest lie ive ever said

You lie to yourself, and everyone else, with a fragile smile and delicate laughter. “Oh, Jihoon? I only see him as a friend.” The words flutter off your tongue like butterflies, light and airy, but they are the biggest lie you’ve ever told. Each syllable undulates with an undercurrent of desperation, a need to suppress the love that curls itself around your heart like ivy. You know the truth; your friends know the truth; even Jihoon, in the depths of his obliviousness, might feel something whispering beneath the surface.

Your days are painted in shades of yearning. Every time you catch Jihoon glancing your way, his laughter ringing like music in the air, you feel the familiar ache in your chest. He stands there, effortlessly captivating in his casual charm, and you can’t help but admire the way the world seems to orbit around him. But you have mastered the art of restraint at least, you try to convince yourself of that. You knew, early on, that this beautiful creature was simply too unattainable, an ethereal being who belonged to the limelight of the stage, while you faded gently into the shadows of his fan club.

Yet how can one merely be friends with someone who ignites a fire within you every time they reach for their drink, every time they laugh at a joke you’ve thrown, or every time he tilts his head, eyes shining with mischief? You spend your days together, sharing your laughter amidst passionate conversations, discussing dreams with glee. You’ve found yourself hanging on his every word, fretting over the inflection of his voice, scrutinizing every innocent touch as if it were a precarious promise.

Your friends notice the way your gaze lingers longer than is appropriate, the way your heart skips a beat when he walks into the room. They nudge you playfully and whisper sweet nothings, teasing your heartstrings and pulling them taut. “You love him,” they say, referring to Jihoon with fondness that stings because it’s true. But instead of gamely admitting it, you brush their concerns aside with a wave of your hand. “No, no, it’s not like that at all,” you lie once again, loving him in silence with every breath but failing to breathe the words into existence.

Then, one fateful evening, everything changes.

It was a rainy night, the kind that makes the world feel small and cozy. The sky enveloped the earth in its tender embrace, droplets cascading down panes of glass, blurring the outside world. Curious, you peek outside the window, watching a fascinating dance as water falls effortlessly from the heavens. It pulls you into a comfort zone, and all you desire is a peaceful night in a warm blanket and your favorite rom-com to escape into.

But, as fate would have it, Jihoon had plans of his own.

You receive a call at 2 a.m., your heart racing as you recognize his name lighting up your screen. “Where are you?” you whisper, the urgency pulling you to the edge of your thoughts. His slurred words dance around your ears, “Can you open the door? I need to talk to you.” A knot forms in your stomach as you scramble to gather your senses, tossing aside any lingering sleep.

As you open the door, the image that greets you is deeply romantic and utterly chaotic. Jihoon stands there, slightly disheveled, the faint smell of alcohol wafting in the air, eyes glossy and alive. Even in this state, he radiates charm you wonder for a fleeting moment if he understands the hold he has over you. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know who else to call,” he stammers, teetering slightly. Your heart thuds ominously in your chest, and all those stolen glances and hidden feelings come rushing to the surface.

He steps inside, leaning against the wall for support, his vulnerability both enchanting and terrifying. You urge him into a seat and fetch him some water, caught between laughter and concern. “You really shouldn’t drink so much,” you say, finding your voice through the whirlwind of emotions. He just grins sheepishly, mischief dancing in his luminous eyes.

And then, everything spirals out of your control.

As you sit beside him, the silence wraps around you both like a soft blanket. It’s intoxicating, the way he gazes at you, like he’s trying to piece together every fragment of your existence. And suddenly, Jihoon leans closer, his breath fanning against your skin. Your heart races an insane symphony of thumping organs, all while questioning your reality. “You know,” he murmurs, the words slurring slightly, “I don’t think you see me as a friend.”

Time hangs delicately in the air. Your mind races wildly, processing his words, replaying every moment leading up to this. You could pull back, remind him of the façade you’ve built, of the lie that has woven itself into your life. But the longing, buried so deep, whispers hope, swaying you further into the depths of passion.

Before you can construct your thoughts, Jihoon closes the distance, crashing his lips against yours. It’s a soft collision at first, questioning, as if he is daring to believe in the connection that has always lingered just beyond the reach of words. You find yourself responding instinctively, every barrier that once held you captive crumbling like sandcastles against the tide.

It feels electric and raw he’s warm, alive, anchored where you’ve always ached to reach. You lean into him, heart pounding as you discover the truth you’ve hidden all this time. You only see him as a friend? It was a lie you told because you were terrified to admit how deeply you cared for him.

The kiss deepens, and you lose yourself in his warmth, finally surrendering to the truth: you are utterly, irrevocably in love with him. It was never just friendship, not with every heartbeat echoing his name, not with the shivers that wracked your spine each time he laughed.

When you finally pull away, breathless and bewildered, the revelation settles in. Jihoon’s eyes are wide with surprise, mingled with a hint of vulnerability. “I’m so glad I came,” he whispers, his voice a mixture of exhilaration and uncertainty.

The moment hangs suspended in the air, a fragile thread woven with anticipation and desire. Jihoon’s whisper lingers in your mind, but before you can respond, his lips find yours again, and this time, there’s nothing soft or tentative about it. His kiss is urgent, fueled by a desperation that leaves you breathless. He presses closer, his hands gripping your waist as though anchoring himself to you.

A shiver races down your spine as his teeth graze your bottom lip, coaxing a gasp from you. Seizing the moment, his tongue brushes against yours, a teasing caress that ignites a fire in your core. You clutch at his hair, your fingers tangling in the soft strands as you pull him even closer. Jihoon moans into your mouth, a deep, guttural sound that sends heat pooling low in your belly.

You’re vaguely aware of the room around you, the muted sound of rain against the window, but all of it fades into insignificance as Jihoon consumes every ounce of your attention. His hands move from your waist to your thighs, his fingers digging into your flesh as he pulls you onto his lap. The shift in position sends a jolt of electricity through you, and you can feel the hard line of his arousal pressing against you.

You grind against him instinctively, eliciting another low moan from Jihoon that vibrates through your entire body. The friction between you is maddening, every movement stoking the flames of desire higher. His hands roam your body, sliding under your shirt to caress the bare skin of your back. His touch is hot, almost searing, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake.

“God,” he mutters against your lips, his voice thick with need. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted this.”

You pull back just enough to look into his eyes, and what you see there steals the air from your lungs. His gaze is dark, filled with unspoken longing and raw emotion. It’s as though every wall he’s ever built has crumbled, leaving nothing but vulnerability and hunger in its place.

“I think I do,” you whisper, your voice trembling with a mix of nerves and excitement. You shift against him again, unable to resist the way his body reacts to yours, the way his breath hitches as you roll your hips. His hands grip your waist tighter, and he pulls you closer, his lips trailing from your mouth to your jaw, then down the column of your neck.

The sensation of his lips on your skin is almost too much to bear. He alternates between gentle kisses and sharp nips, his tongue soothing the faint sting each time. Your fingers tighten in his hair, and he groans against your neck, his breath hot and uneven.

“You’re driving me crazy,” Jihoon murmurs, his voice rough and filled with desire. He shifts beneath you, adjusting your position so you’re straddling him fully. His hands slide under the hem of your shirt, and the feel of his palms against your bare skin sends a fresh wave of heat coursing through you. “I don’t think I can stop.”

“Then don’t,” you reply, the words leaving your lips before you can second-guess them. You capture his mouth again, pouring everything you’ve been holding back into the kiss. Jihoon responds with equal fervor, his hands exploring every inch of you they can reach.

Your movements become more frantic, the need to be closer to him overwhelming. You press yourself against him, your hips rocking in a rhythm that has both of you gasping. Jihoon’s hands slide up your back, his fingers deftly finding the clasp of your bra. He hesitates for a split second, his gaze meeting yours as if seeking permission.

When you nod, his eyes darken further, and he makes quick work of removing the barrier. His hands return to your body, exploring with an urgency that leaves you trembling. Every touch, every kiss, every whispered word of need pulls you deeper into the moment, and you know there’s no turning back.

Jihoon’s kisses grow hungrier, his hands exploring your body with a fervor that makes your head spin. You can feel the restraint slipping from him, his need for you becoming all-consuming. He pulls away slightly, his breathing ragged as he looks at you with an intensity that sends a shiver straight to your core.

“I need…” His voice cracks, thick with desperation. He buries his face against your neck, his lips brushing your skin as he whispers, “Please. Let me taste you.”

Your breath catches in your throat, the raw desire in his voice nearly undoing you. He shifts, his hands sliding to your hips as he presses a series of open-mouthed kisses down your neck, across your collarbone, and lower still. Before you can process what’s happening, Jihoon slips off the couch, dropping to his knees in front of you.

“Jihoon…” you murmur, your voice trembling, but he looks up at you with a pleading expression that steals the words from your lips.

“Let me,” he begs, his hands gently parting your knees as he positions himself between them. His eyes are dark and hungry, his lips slightly swollen from your kisses. “I want to make you feel good. Please.”

The vulnerability in his voice is matched by the determination in his touch, and you nod, unable to deny him or yourself. Jihoon wastes no time, his hands sliding up your thighs as he leans forward, pressing a kiss to the sensitive skin just above the waistband of your shorts. Slowly, teasingly, he hooks his fingers under the fabric and tugs them down, his eyes never leaving yours.

You lift your hips to help him, your heart racing as the cool air brushes against your heated skin. Jihoon’s gaze darkens as he takes you in, his lips parting slightly as if he’s in awe. “You’re perfect,” he whispers, his voice reverent.

Then his lips are on you, and every coherent thought vanishes. His tongue moves with expert precision, finding the spots that make you gasp and cling to the edge of the couch for support. He alternates between soft, teasing flicks and deep, languid strokes that have you trembling. Jihoon moans against you, the vibrations adding another layer of pleasure as his hands grip your thighs, holding you open for him.

“Oh my God, Jihoon…” Your head falls back, your fingers tangling in his hair as he pulls you closer to the edge. He looks up at you, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the way you’re unraveling beneath his touch. He doubles down, his movements growing more insistent as he chases your release.

It doesn’t take long before the tension building inside you snaps, your body arching as waves of pleasure crash over you. Jihoon doesn’t stop, his tongue and lips coaxing every last tremor from you until you’re left gasping for air.

But he isn’t finished.

Before you can fully recover, Jihoon looks up at you, his mouth glistening and his expression utterly wrecked with need. “One more,” he murmurs, his voice a hoarse plea. “I want to feel you fall apart again.”

You barely have time to process his words before he dives back in, his tongue working you over with a skill and determination that leave you helpless against the onslaught of pleasure. He holds you steady as you writhe beneath him, his moans of appreciation only spurring you on. It’s overwhelming, the way he devotes himself to your pleasure, and soon you’re tumbling over the edge again, crying out his name as your body shudders against his mouth.

When you finally manage to open your eyes, Jihoon is climbing back up your body, his lips brushing yours in a kiss that’s both tender and heated. You can taste yourself on him, and it only stokes the fire that’s been simmering between you.

“Please,” he whispers against your lips, his voice raw with desperation. “I need you. Ride me. I need to feel you.”

His words send a fresh wave of heat coursing through you, and you nod, unable to resist the sheer longing in his voice. Jihoon’s hands are on your hips as you straddle him You sink down onto Jihoon completely, a gasp escaping both of you as your bodies join in perfect, electrifying harmony. He feels incredible inside you, stretching and filling you in ways that make your head spin. You begin to move, slow and deliberate at first, grinding your hips against him, and Jihoon’s head falls back with a low, guttural groan.

His hands grip your hips, trembling slightly as though he’s barely holding himself together. “You… you feel unreal,” he gasps, his voice breaking. “I—God, I love this. I love you.”

The words tumble out of him so suddenly, so raw and unfiltered, that it takes you a moment to process them. You stop moving for a second, your chest tightening as you look at him. His eyes snap open, wide and vulnerable, panic flickering across his face as if he’s afraid he’s ruined everything.

“I mean it,” he continues, his hands tightening on your waist. “I love you. I’ve loved you for so long, and seeing you like this, feeling you like this God, it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more. You’re everything.”

Emotion swells in your chest, but before you can respond, Jihoon pulls you down into a searing kiss, pouring every ounce of his passion and love into it. His hands roam your body, sliding up your back, tangling in your hair, and gripping your thighs as if he can’t get enough of you. “You’re so perfect,” he murmurs against your lips, his voice trembling with sincerity. “You’re everything I’ve ever wanted. I love the way you move, the way you feel around me. Please don’t stop.”

The combination of his sweet words and the desperate edge in his voice ignites something deep inside you, and you begin to move again, faster this time, riding him with abandon. Jihoon completely loses himself, his head falling forward to rest against your chest as a cascade of moans and broken words spills from his lips.

“You’re so beautiful,” he gasps, his voice wrecked. “So fucking gorgeous. I love seeing you like this on top of me, taking me, making me feel so good. I—oh, God… please don’t stop. Don’t stop, baby. You’re going to ruin me.”

Your hands find their way to his hair, threading through the soft strands, and when you tug gently, his reaction is immediate and visceral. Jihoon cries out, his hands flying to your hips to pull you closer, harder against him. “Fuck,” he groans, his voice thick with pleasure. “Do that again. Please. Pull my hair. I love it.”

You obey, tugging a little harder this time, and Jihoon’s response is nothing short of breathtaking. His hips buck up to meet yours, his eyes rolling back as he clings to you like you’re the only thing grounding him. “I can’t—God, I can’t think when you do that. You make me crazy. You’re so fucking good to me.”

His words become a torrent, a mix of sweet confessions and dirty praises that leaves you both breathless. “You’re perfect,” he pants, his hands exploring every inch of your body. “So tight, so warm. I’ve dreamed about this about you so many times, but nothing comes close to the real thing. You’re mine, right? Please tell me you’re mine.”

“I’m yours, Jihoon,” you whisper, your own voice breaking with emotion. “I’ve always been yours.”

That’s all it takes to completely undo him. Jihoon’s hands grip your hips with bruising intensity, his lips crashing into yours as he thrusts up to meet your movements, his desperation driving him deeper, harder. His words come in a frantic, broken stream, a testament to how thoroughly you’ve unraveled him.

“Ride me, baby. Take what you need. I’ll give you anything everything,” he moans, his voice barely coherent. “You’re so good, so fucking good. I love you. I love you so much.”

Your pace quickens, your hands tugging at his hair as you both chase the edge together. Jihoon’s hands are everywhere on your thighs, your waist, your back, unable to stay still as he tries to memorize every moment, every sensation. His lips brush against your skin, murmuring praise and love and filthy promises that make your heart race.

When you finally fall over the edge, it’s with a shattering cry, your body trembling as waves of pleasure crash over you. Jihoon follows moments later, his release spilling into you as his head falls back, a moan of pure ecstasy tearing from his throat. He looks utterly wrecked, his chest heaving as he gazes up at you with so much love and adoration that it nearly takes your breath away.

He pulls you down into his arms, holding you close as you both come down from the high together. “I meant every word,” he whispers, his voice soft but unwavering. “I love you. I’ve always loved you. And I’m never letting you go.”

The morning sunlight streams through the blinds of Jihoon’s studio, warm and golden, casting a cozy glow over the room. You’re perched on a stool near the soundboard, sipping on coffee while Jihoon hovers over his keyboard, pretending to work.

But he’s not fooling anyone.

Every few seconds, you catch him glancing your way, his lips quirking up in a grin he can’t quite suppress. He’s trying to be discreet, but his hand finds yours under the table, his thumb brushing over your knuckles in a way that sends shivers up your spine. When he’s sure no one’s looking, he leans over to press a soft, lingering kiss to your temple, his grin widening when you swat at him playfully.

“Jihoon,” you murmur, half-laughing. “Focus.”

“I am focusing,” he replies with a mock-serious expression, his voice low enough for only you to hear. “I’m focusing on how gorgeous you look right now.”

You roll your eyes, but your cheeks flush all the same. He’s incorrigible, and as much as you want to protest, you can’t deny how much you love his newfound confidence in showing you affection.

The door to the studio swings open, and his bandmates file in one by one, filling the space with their usual energy. Jihoon straightens up, trying to school his expression into something more neutral, but his hand lingers on your thigh for just a second too long before he pulls it back.

“Morning,” one of them calls, tossing a water bottle onto the couch before plopping down. Another, Mingyu, squints at Jihoon, a knowing smirk creeping across his face. “Wow, Jihoon. You look… really chipper today.”

Jihoon shrugs, feigning nonchalance. “Just a good day, I guess.”

“Uh-huh,” Mingyu drawls, his eyes flicking to you and back to Jihoon. “And does this ‘good day’ have anything to do with the fact that you can’t stop staring at her?”

Jihoon’s ears turn red, but he tries to play it cool, casually leaning back in his chair. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, come on,” Mingyu says, grinning. “You’re practically glowing. It’s disgusting, really.”

Another bandmate, Soonyoung, perks up at the exchange, his gaze darting between you and Jihoon. “Wait a second,” he says, eyes narrowing. “Are you guys…?”

You try to hide your smile behind your coffee cup, but Jihoon’s bandmates are relentless. The teasing intensifies, with exaggerated gasps, dramatic gestures, and a chorus of “finally!” echoing through the room. Jihoon rubs the back of his neck, clearly torn between embarrassment and pride.

“Alright, alright,” he says, holding up his hands in mock surrender. He turns to you, his eyes softening as he reaches for your hand. “You’re not mad if I say it, right?”

“Not at all,” you reply, your heart fluttering.

Jihoon takes a deep breath before turning back to his bandmates, his expression firm but laced with a hint of nervousness. “Yes, okay? She’s my girlfriend. Happy now?”

The room erupts into cheers and applause, the bandmates high-fiving each other like they’ve won a prize. “Took you long enough!” one of them shouts, while another adds, “I was starting to think this day would never come!”

Amid the chaos, Jihoon looks at you, his face a mixture of exasperation and adoration. “They’re impossible,” he mutters, shaking his head. But then his expression softens, and he tugs you closer, his hands sliding around your waist.

“I love you,” he says, loud enough for everyone to hear this time. His gaze locks onto yours, earnest and unshakable. “I’m not hiding it anymore. I love you.”

The teasing fades into the background as Jihoon leans in, his lips brushing yours in a kiss that’s soft but filled with meaning. His hands stay steady on your waist, grounding you as the moment stretches on. When you pull back, breathless and a little dazed, his bandmates are cheering again, but you barely notice.

All you can focus on is Jihoon and the way he’s looking at you like you’re the only thing that matters in the world.

Jihoon leans his forehead against yours, his hands still cradling your waist as the noise of his bandmates fades into the background. He smiles soft, unguarded, and completely full of love. “You know,” he murmurs, his voice low and steady, “I used to think my music was the best way to tell a story, but then you came along and proved me wrong. You’re my favorite song, and I want to play you for the rest of my life.”

You can’t help but laugh softly, your chest tightening at the sincerity in his words. “That’s cheesy, Jihoon.”

“Yeah,” he admits, his grin widening, “but it’s true. And if you think that’s bad, wait until I start writing songs about you.”

The thought makes your heart swell, and you can’t resist kissing him again, ignoring the teasing whistles from the rest of the room. As far as you’re concerned, the rest of the world can wait. Right now, this moment is just for the two of you.

You’ve Got Mail DNF au for @carpedzem ‘s dnf rom com event!

INFO BELOW BELOW

THIS IS THE MOST DNF MOVIE EVER. NO QUESTION.

Basic synopsis w/ DNF: Dream and George are book store owners, George of a struggling small boutique and Dream of a large chain. They have a disliking for each other but they meet online anonymously and start an online romance. Dream eventually figures out George’s identity and comes to term with his love for both of George’s identities: real life and online.

It was made in 1998 and has become my fav rom com just because of how DNF IT IS. Online love where George has no idea the face or anything of the man behind a screen but falls in love despite it?!?! Gold.

Anyway quick explanations of the scenes:

BOTTOM LEFT: A scene in which they are talking about George’s online bfs handle and George says that the numbers in his handle could be “159 people who think he looks like [hot celeberity]” and in this AU Dream responds “Or 159 people who think he looks like rumplstilskin”

TOP RIGHT: Just a silly general scene of DNF talking over the internet and being all cutesy :)

BOTTOM RIGHT: it’s a quote from the movie where it is revealed Dream is George’s secret internet lover, and George’s says he wished it was him all along

Anyway! I hope you enjoyed the art and this little treat too (and the og movie poster)

Never Judge a Film By Its Cover

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎...

Thank you for the request Client_Clover! I hope this is too you liking, I've never done work like this when it comes to basing interactions off of aesthetic/genres.

Wise w/ gothic-alternative-sweetheart! reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡...⋙

Tagging: ☘️ anon

tw: none

⋈ Wise is used to all kinds of people in both kinds of works, whether it’s helping a client in the hollows or approaching a customer to recommend a new tape they figured would be to their liking. No matter the person, he is able to adapt to their personality and knows that better than to judge a person by their looks. He has an eye for these kinds of things, picking up on the littlest details of his customers which makes him a great salesman when it comes to film options. 

⋈ When he started taking an interest on one of the regular at the shop, he was thrown for a loop when he first laid his eyes on them. In a way, they reminded him of Ellen a bit, a very low energy personality who looked around the place with hooded eyes and a ‘Don’t approach me’ attitude. Their clothing choice was also interesting to say the least, wearing different monochromatic articles that could run from looking like a mess of nets and off-shoulder tops to high waisted skirts paired with long trench coat vibes.

⋈ Of course, the many times they come by they only view the tapes and even are with a group of friends from the looks, everyone being the complete opposite of what they seem like, cheerful and bubbly they stand out with a serious case of RBF. [Resting-Bitch-Face] But that makes him even more intrigued, who is this person and what are they like. How do they attract such bright people despite their gloomy-gothic approach? He figures this out one day when they come into his shop looking for something, walking out of the staff only room to find them at the counter.

▿

“Oh, sorry for the wait. Could I help you with something?” 

They only scratch at their cheek, eyes wandering away from Wise’s gaze before presenting a film in hand. “Uh, yeah. Could I rent out this tape?” He only looked down at the tape in question, the genre surprising him to say the least. “Oh sure. Just Oh~ Sweetie today?” The nervously nod, a faint blush painting their cheeks like dapped out watercolors. He rang it up, smiling to himself before handing over the tape. 

“Alright, you’re all set. The return policy is usually a week from today, but feel free to drop by anytime before then. There’s a fee for late returns, but feel free to call the store if you have any questions. Thank you for your business.” Their eyes gleamed in excitement as they held the case in hand, Wise could almost see the sparkles emitting off of them before they waved him bye with a sheepish smile blessing his vision. Once out the store, he could only stare before smiling to himself again.

⋈ Since then, he is always greeting them while also discussing new films that would be to their liking. Mainly ranging from rom-coms to fantasy-adventure, he has gotten to knowing them to the point where they’ve become close friends. Wise enjoys their conversations as they always mention their favorite part of the tapes; he recommends them with childlike innocence, glowing brightly with a cheerful disposition. They invite him out sometimes when he’s clocked out for break, treating him to noodles or listening to some new records across the street. Another place they are a regular at, learning more about their interesting taste in music that fits their aesthetic.

▿

He’s asked about your lifestyle once, giving him a nervous response while twiddling with your fingers. “Ah, well, I get that question a lot. I always had a fascination with gothic fashion and the aesthetic as a whole, so I wanted to express my love for the art form by wearing what I found comfortable. People are surprised when I mention that, but many people I’ve met say that it’s really cool, so I continue to express myself freely- sorry, I’m probably rambling now.” Your yapping slowing into a nonsensible muttering which Wise assures them that he doesn’t mind it one bit.

“Well, I think you're pretty- neat! It’s pretty neat, so I can’t argue with you on that.” He nodded along, seeing how they only skipped beside him with renewed confidence. “Thank you, Wise!”

⋈ Whenever he’s out and about, should he spot them in their usual circle or looming over a display alone, despite the aura they have hovering over them he still makes it a habit to call out to them. The moment before and after they spot him makes his heart flutter, how they look over with a subtle glare before perking up and grinning cheekily and waving him over. Really, it’s a sight to behold.

⋈ Maybe one day they’ll be more than friends, but neither of them would admit it. No number of soft touches and gentle smiles will push them to confess their little attraction to one another. So for now they’ll cuddle up on his bed while watching another film. As friends, yeah really close friends.

[coal15]

Well, if they confirm that Lou isn't in any more episodes, then yes obviously bucktommy is over in canon--but fanfic and fanart still exists so we can go right on enjoying them however we want.

As far as series canon goes if buddie is on the horizon so be it, but if Lou is still appearing in more episodes then this is just the "breakup" part of their story, rom-com style, before things work out in the end.

Either way I plan to keep going w/bucktommy fics, and if the fandom ever chills the fuck out about ship "membership" enough, I might feel safe to write another bvddie fic. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it right now though because (in my experience) there's so much hostility toward multi-shipping among bvddies, I feel like anything I wrote would just get flamed to hell and back because I dared to root for something else--and will continue to enjoy bucktommy even if they are over in canon.

We'll see what happens. I am eager to get confirmation of whether or not Lou is off the show, but either way I've had so much fun. And I plan to keep having fun. I'd love for us all to keep hanging out, sharing art, fics, etc. Because we can.

[poppetsisters]

Y'all knew I was gonna talk about this.

The trailer itself doesn't have too much we haven't already seen. I believe this footage is actually the same footage we got in the Brazil version of the sizzle reel from Comic Con. Now that it's in HD, I can make the claim that this is probably Yancy Street we're seeing, with the period dressing and production design confirming this takes place in a 1960s setting. We know from concept art that this is supposed to be an alternate universe retro futuristic New York City rather than the MCU's 1960s, however this teaser doesn't show us any retro future elements outside of the rocket ship on TV. I don't know what this means just yet, maybe Yancy Street hasn't gotten gentrified. We do see new footage of the Fantasticar driving on the road, but that's about it.

In both the comic con sizzle reel and the descriprion of this video, they've been using the Future Foundation as a framing device to introduce us to the team. This leads me to believe that the Future Foundation functions as the Fantastic Four's non-profit organization designed to market the four to a mass audience. This is, of course, much different to its comics counterpart in which the Future Foundation is a think tank of brilliant minds dedicated to solving everything.

I believe this change was made to emphasis the role the media and celebrity might play in the movie. Back in the Kirby era, the Fantastic Four were treated like super celebrities who often got in trouble with the public, the law, and other heroes. There are stories in the early comics of them running out of money or getting evicted! Later writers would rationalize this approach with the concept that Reed wanted to build an image of themselves as an all American family to help people not see themselves as freaks, monsters, and outsiders.

I genuinely think I'm onto something here. In the sizzle reel, we see clips of Reed hosting a show called Fantastic Science with Mr Fantastic. In the same reel, we have Ben Grimm on a dating show called Lets Make a Match, and in this trailer, we have kids running eagerly to the television to see the rocket launch. It's clear that people's perception of the Fantastic Four and the media's portrayal of them are gonna be a huge theme of this movie.

This is actually pretty funny in a meta sense because historically, the Fantastic Four have only gotten bad press. Tim Story's duology was widely panned for feeling too much like a low budget rom-com, and Josh Trank's film is a huge mess which would take hours to sift through. Most average people will tell you the Fantastic Four are these dated and lame characters who only have bad movies. Maybe this focus on the media is the filmmaker's recognizing the scrutiny we have of this movie and using the public of the 1960s to comment on it.

Anyway, I might stream my reaction to the trailer tomorrow on my channel, I don't know if that's something y'all would be interested in, but I'm contemplating it.

See you tomorrow!

Silent Mornings

A/N: hi! This is Eribin. I am not a real writer, doing this as my past time. English is not my first language so bear with my English. There’s a lot of grammatical and typographical errors. This is just a fiction from my delusions 😆

Word count: 2.2K

Genre: rom-com, fluff

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eizel’s POV

Every morning, I had my routine: wake up, make coffee, playing my favorite song, ignore the pile of magazine articles waiting to be edited, and most importantly—sketch my neighbor, Kazuki.

It wasn’t my fault. Really. He just had this… presence, you know.

 Standing on his balcony, sipping his coffee like some handsome protagonist in a drama, with his messy black hair and stupidly attractive face. His orange cat, Yoshi, would curl around his feet like a fluffy sidekick. It was unfair how effortlessly cool he looked.

So, naturally, I did what any artist would do—I drew him. Over and over again. I can't stop myself because he looks like an art

I convinced myself it was for artistic practice. Nothing weird. Nothing creepy. Just innocent sketching of my unaware (and ridiculously handsome) neighbor

Until one morning, I looked up from my sketchbook while drinking coffee to find Kazuki staring straight at me.

“You draw me a lot, don’t you?” he asked, smirking.

I nearly choked on my coffee. Uh-oh! Busted.

“W-what? No! I mean—maybe? Not in a weird way! It’s just—you have a very drawable face!” I blurted out, trying to hide my sketchbook behind my back like a guilty child.

Kazuki leaned on his railing, amusement dancing in his eyes. “A very ‘drawable’ face, huh?”

“Yes” I said, attempting to sound confident. “Symmetry. Structure. Good lighting. That’s all.”

He chuckled, taking another slow sip of his coffee. “And here I thought you were secretly in love with me"

My soul left my body. “WHAT!?!”

Kazuki laughed like, full-on, head-tilted-back laughing. Even Yoshi meowed like he was in on the joke.

I scowled. “You wish.”

“Maybe" he said, still grinning. “Or maybe I just like knowing you’re watching.”

I opened my mouth to argue, but then he started humming. Not just any song—my favorite song. The song I always played every morning.

I blinked. Hold on.

“…Have you been watching me too?”  I narrowed my eyes suspiciously.

Kazuki just winked before heading back inside, leaving me standing there, flustered, holding a sketchbook full of his face.

Well. Crap.

After that incident, Kazuki was relentless.

Ever since I tragically let slip that I had been sketching him for months, he made it his life’s mission to see my drawings. And worse? He was good at getting what he wanted.

It started small.

“Eizel, I got you coffee” he announced one morning, holding up a cup from his balcony.

I eyed it suspiciously. “What’s in it for you?”

“Nothing.” His innocent expression was not convincing.

I folded my arms. “Try again.”

Kazuki sighed dramatically. “Fine. One sip in exchange for a peek at your sketches. This cup probably 10 sips so... 10 sketches”

I scoffed. “Not happening.

The next day, he showed up at my door with a bag of pastries.

“Eizel, my favorite neighbor!” he greeted, way too cheerful.

I raised a brow. “What do you want now?”

He held up a croissant like it was a rare treasure. “One sketch for one pastry.”

I shut the door in his face.

But Kazuki wasn’t one to give up.

A week later, he tried again convincing me..

I was working late at my desk when my phone pinged gor notification. It was a photo of Yoshi, wrapped in a tiny blanket, looking like a helpless little burrito.

Kazuki: I’ll let you hold him if you show me a drawing.

I stared at the screen, horrified.

Me: You wouldn’t.

Kazuki: Oh, but I would.

Kazuki: Look at his tiny face. He wants you to say yes.

Me: You’re evil.

Kazuki: A very persistent evil.

I groaned, staring at my sketchbook like it had personally betrayed me.

In the end, I gave in. But only one sketch.

Kazuki studied it like it was a masterpiece, a slow smile spreading across his lips. “You’re really good" he said softly.

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”  i said while petting Yoshi on my lap. They are here in my apartment at the moment. Yoshi loves petting him. He keeps meowing when I scratching his head to back.

His eyes flicked up to meet mine. “So… does this mean I get to see more?”

I whacked his arm with my sketchbook. Kazuki just laughed. A manly laughed that makes my heart flatter. Oh crap. This is not good.

The very next morning, as I sipped my coffee and totally wasn’t looking at his balcony, I heard a familiar voice.

“Not sketching today my neighbor?"

I nearly inhaled my drink. Coughing violently, I turned to find Kazuki leaning against his railing, coffee in one hand, an infuriating smirk on his lips. I really caught off-guard on the word 'my'.

What the hell, Kazuki.

“Are you going to keep doing this?” I wheezed.

“Doing what?”

“Catching me off guard every morning"

Kazuki chuckled.

I groaned. 

Yoshi, his fluffy orange accomplice, stretched on the railing, flicking his tail like he, too, was judging me.

Kazuki tilted his head, eyeing my sketchbook. “So, do I get to see one of them today?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Not even one?” He pouted. Actually pouted. Was this man trying to kill me? 

“No.”

“Please?”

“No.”

“I’ll let you pet Yoshi again.”

I hesitated. “...Tempting but no.”

Yoshi meowed as if encouraging me to betray my principles. I narrowed my eyes. “Bribery won’t work this time”

Kazuki tapped his chin. “Alright. How about this—one sketch for one favor.”

I frowned. “What kind of favor?”

He grinned. “A date.”

My brain hanged “A da—wha—HAH?!”

Kazuki laughed at my malfunctioning. “Relax. It doesn’t have to be a romantic date. Just a normal, friendly one. Actually, I want you to invite to our gig and dinner after."

"Do you play?" 

"No. I sing.. So what do you think?"

I stared at him. "Wait a minute... I think I'm getting a bad deal here. You invited me then I'll show my sketches? How about singing my requested song and I'll show you my sketches"

"Deal" Kazuki chuckled.

I glanced at my sketchbook. The one filled with his face. The one I had been guarding. And then I looked at Kazuki—smiling, confident, warm.

As he walked back inside, I sat there, face burning, heart racing.

A date. With Kazuki.

God, What have I done?

I had officially lost my mind.

The moment I arrived, he spotted me from across the room and sent me a wink. I immediately pretended to be deeply fascinated by the drink menu.

The place was packed, place with excitement. Kazuki’s bandmates set up their instruments while he chatted with the audience like he owned the room. Which, judging by the way people reacted to him, he practically did.

And then he started singing. And I almost dropped my drink.

I knew Kazuki could sing, obviously. But hearing him perform was a whole different experience. His voice was smooth, deep, and unfairly captivating. He commanded the stage effortlessly, his presence magnetic.

And then.. he made eye contact with me.

Oh, hell no.

My heart did something weird and stupid, and I looked away so fast.

I focused on my drink, on the wall, on anything but Kazuki, who was very much singing my requested song, because I was dumb enough to make that part of the deal.

When the song ended, I reluctantly looked back up only to find Kazuki still staring at me.

His smirk was full of amusement, like he knew exactly what he was doing to me.

This was a mistake.

After the set, Kazuki found me instantly and stand in front of me.

“So?” He grinned, hair slightly damp from the stage lights. “How was it?”

I cleared my throat, attempting to sound normal. “It was… fine.”

Liar.

“Fine?” He gasped. “That was the most passionate performance of my life, and you’re giving me a fine?”

I rolled my eyes. “Okay, okay. You were good.”

Kazuki leaned in slightly. “Good enough for you to show me a sketch?”

Damn it.

I clutched my bag. “Ugh.. A deal’s a deal, I guess.”

Kazuki’s grin widened as I reluctantly pulled out my sketchbook. I flipped to one of my less embarrassing drawings of him and held it out.

He took one look at it and went completely silent.For the first time, Kazuki was actually speechless.

I shifted uncomfortably. “...Well?”

He exhaled slowly, a soft, almost disbelieving smile forming while flippinh the pages. “Eizel, this is—” He stopped, looking at me like I had just handed him something precious.

My face grew unbearably warm. “It’s nothing special.”

Kazuki gently closed the sketchbook and looked at me, his expression unreadable.

“It is” he said. “Because it’s how you see me.”

Oh. Oh.

OHHHHHHHH

Why did he have to say things like that?!

-------------

After that gig, Kazuki and I had gotten too comfortable with each other

Between morning coffee chats and his constant attempts to fluster me, I had somehow become a regular at his gigs.

He even started calling me his "lucky charm." I called it nonsense. My boss, however, called it fate.

Because one morning at work, she walked up to my desk, slapped a file in front of me, and said, "Eizel, I need you to interview a band for our next issue."

I flipped it open and froze.

On the page, staring smugly at me, was Kazuki and his band.

"You okay?" my boss asked, raising a brow.

I forced a laugh. "Haha. Yeah Totally fine. Love this assignment. Not panicking at all."

When I arrived at the studio for the interview, Kazuki looked way too excited.

"Eizel!" He beamed, lounging in his seat like he owned the place. "Nice seeing you here."

I scowled, sitting across from him with my very professional notepad. "You knew about this, didn’t you?"

Kazuki smirked. "Maybe."

I groaned. This was going to be hell.

Still, I had a job to do, so I took a deep breath and started.

I tried to act normal. Really.

Kazuki, of course, made that impossible. I shot him a look, praying my face wasn’t giving away the sheer panic setting in. Professionalism, Eizel. Pretend you don’t know him. Pretend you haven’t memorized his coffee order and the way he hums when he’s nervous. Pretend he’s just another interviewee.

I cleared my throat, flipping open my notepad. “Let’s start.”

Kazuki leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “No small talk first? No ‘How are you, Kazuki?’” He placed a hand over his heart dramatically. “I’m hurt.”

I inhaled sharply, looked at the staff and forcing a polite smile. “How are you, Kazuki?”

He grinned. “Better now that you’re here.”

His bandmates groaned, one of them muttering, “Here we go again.”

I ignored the heat rushing to my cheeks and powered through. Focus, Eizel. This is just work.

Eizel: “Alright. First question. What inspired this album?”

Kazuki actually answered seriously, his usual playful demeanor shifting into something more thoughtful. “Life. Love. The things blah blah blah..”

I nodded, pretending that answer didn’t make my stomach flutter. “And the writing process? Do you work on lyrics together?”

Kazuki shrugged. “We all contribute, but the best ones come from real experiences."

The interview flowed easily. We talked about their tour, their songwriting, their future plans. Somehow, Kazuki managed to stay relatively well-behaved.

But then… it was time for the final question.

I hesitated, gripping my notepad a little too tightly. It’s just a question. A normal, totally harmless question.

I swallowed. “Is there someone in your heart right now?”

Silence.

Kazuki leaned back, his smirk slowly returning. His bandmates exchanged knowing looks.

Then, he answered.

“Yeah.” His voice was softer this time

My breath hitched. Nope. Nope. Not assuming anything. He could mean anyone. Maybe some actress. Or a mysterious ex. Or something.

“Who is it?” I asked, trying to sound unaffected.

Kazuki tilted his head, his eyes gleaming. “She’s an artist.”

My heart stopped.

“A really talented one.”

Oh. Oh no.

Kazuki smirked. “Has a habit of sketching people from her window.”

The entire room exploded.

His bandmates whooped, laughing and pounding the table. The magazine staff exchanged excited whispers. The photographer nearly dropped his camera.

And I?

I sat there, gaping at Kazuki like he had just publicly proposed.

What the hell Kazuki

“You—” I started, completely horrified.

Kazuki leaned in slightly, his chin resting on his hand. "So, Eizel..." he paused, smirk widening. "How about a real date this time?"

1. hi there!! i’m really fond of your page. i wonder if you’ve got fics with wei wuxian as an idol but lan wangji with another job and falls in love with wei wuxian before discovering that he’s an idol or something like that. preferably mdzs fandom instead of cql-verse, if you could? thank yoou so much beforehand 💕

7. Hi hi thank you so much for your hard work!! This blog means a lot for me to find many many fics🤣

...

Now, I'm in the mood of fics where wwx is the one being rich rich, meanwhile lwj financially struggle or at least not as rich as wwx, I am hoping for wwx family disapprove of wx relationship as well (maybe because of past incident, difference status, etc) basically the opposite of usual wx relationship in fics, and of course wx endgame and happy ending🥺🥺. The setting can be a royalty, modern, cultivation world, or anything else.

Thank you so much🩵🩵🩵 @yourslwj

there is a fic like that, i know it, i just can’t really put my finger on it. LZ is basically working as a sugar baby and WWX is his sugar daddy. I also remember LZs Mother being a nurse and working really hard to keep them afloat. I think she got sick at some point? Im sorry, i really want to help. If anyone knows what this is called, i would appreciate it a lot.

10. Can I make an odd fic request? I want to expand my skills as an author and try to write with more personality and flair. I know this will come with experience and that I will eventually find my own style, but I want to also open my eyes to great examples from more experienced authors. So can everyone please recommend their favorite fics that have a unique or memorable writing style/author’s voice? If possible, include in your rec what in particular you like about it. Thank you all so much!

This fandom has so many incredible writers. The ones that come to mind immediately with a unique voice are 💖 Pentimento. by orange_crushed (E, 73k, wangxian, modern, college/university au, art conservation, museums, pining, not actually unrequited love, angst w/ happy ending, misunderstandings, smut, major character injury, hospitalization, hurt/comfort, past incarceration, forgery) link in #2 live from new york: an snl au series by varnes (E, 105k, WangXian, XuanLi, Modern AU, SNL AU, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Pining, Getting Together, Happy Ending, Idiots in Love, and they were ROOMMATES, Frottage, Light Bondage, could not be lighter or gentler bondage) In Imitation of Life by travelingneuritis (E, 70k, wangxian, modern cultivation, scifi au, android WWX, tone: neon seedy, rich people are bored and terrible, post-apocalyptoc landscape, happy ending, smut, severe major characger injury, time loss) (Those last two can fit for the long fic category too) Everything by spodumene Honestly it's hard to not just say like a hundred of them sjsjfj - Ah I just finished reading the rest of the request. What I like most about their writing is that they have this ability to pain the world they wrote like a picture. With these lines that leave me sitting in awe

i 100% agree about the loads of fantastic authors in this fandom. i wanted to mention 2: s6115 - i love how they get to the absolute heart of the characters and express their emotions, and they also balance it with humor very well H_Belle - i would call their writing…. snappy? idk if it's the right word but they keep the writing tight and moving and intriguing

For 10: anything by ScarlettStorm, her writing has a really solid voice! Also paired wings soaring by typefortydeductions (E, 33k, WangXian, Modern, slice of life, domestic bliss, angst, fluff, smut, hurt/Comfort, kissing, bdsm, artist WWX, poetry translator LWJ, slight somnophilia) has a very unique and wonderful narrative style.

I would recommend ScarlettStorm, who has great found families and depth of character and a particular breezy style I like. Also Ariaste, who has a similar style and excels at getting the most out of a premise. Also Sami, in particular the Paper Moon series because of her thoughtfulness about character development and how that drives the plot and the neat way she weaves the story together and has excellent narrative consistency. One more - hansbekhart is a tremendously skilled writer who, like orange_crushed (recced above), can just hit you with a brick of emotions. Highly recommend both authors as those who can drag deep, vast emotions out of you and leave you feeling as if you're a different person after you've read their fic. In particular, I suggest Roots Grow Riotous by hansbekhart.

for an example of fantastic writing, Twelve Moons and a Fortnight series by stiltonbasket on ao3 is EXCELLENT (intricate layered worldbuilding in vast timeline, awesome imagery and characterizations and build towards pivotal scenes). Also I personally love Cradle by dragonesque (one of best/fav show down diss scenes, politics) & The Murder of Crows by cerbykerby; to name a few

Say More by lettered (E, 55k, WIP, WangXian, Modern AU, Pining, Mutual Pining, Slow Burn, non-graphic drug use, non-graphic withdrawal, Drug Addiction, one suicidal thought, negative thought, wwx struggles with Mandarin and feeling connected to Chinese culture, this is not a large plot point but bears mention, Compulsory Heterosexuality, wwx kisses a girl, Sexuality Crisis, Gay Panic, some gender confusion and questions without serious gender questioning, incorrect definition of omnisexuality, Open Relationships, Masochistic Fantasies, non-graphic sadomascochistic realities, humiliation fantasies, Submission Fantasies, some D/s realities, one condomless blowjob, suggestions of some unhealthy co-dependence, Possessive Behavior, Slight Consensual Non-Consent, Frottage) For the itmf ask about works with unique voices I can happily recommend lettered's "say more", currently a wip. They use frequent semicolons and extreme mood swings to illustrate what's its like in wwx's fast-branching and self-effacing thoughts.

总有一天; a place to hide (can’t find one near) by yiqie (E, 76k, WangXian, Modern AU, Pianist, Getting Together, Mental Health Issues, Suicide Attempt, Suicidal Thoughts, Depression, Hospitals, Overdosing, Eventual Happy Ending, Hurt/Comfort, Additional Warnings In Author's Note) for great writing this story is amazing. It will make you cry, and there is a happy ending

13. Hi loves! Thanks for all the word you put into the blog! I check it so often it might as well be the newspaper 🤣

For the next itmf I’d like something kinda specific: wangxian, established relationship, when they fight, but like fighting the way married people do, as in a “healthy” fight or because they care about the other or things like that. It can have angst but it must be happy ending or my heart won’t be able to take it! Don’t want cheating or infidelity tho, and no ABO please either.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Waiting for Spring by thievinghippo (E, 130k, WangXian, Modern AU, Mutual Pining, Pining while fucking, slight angst, Happy Ending, for a baseball fic, there’s not a lot of baseball, Sports, Baseball) the second fic in boys of summer comes to mind, with feelings Saturday. Not much arguing though more lots of healthy communicating

14. Hi, do you know any fics about the kids crushing on wei ying like post canon embarrassing sizhui about his milf dad or him accepting that his dad is interested basically in a random lunatic twink? @quxxnrandonmness27

Help, My Dad Is Fucking Someone My Age!! by sweetlolixo (T, 3k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Humor, Crack, Fluff, Romance)

~*~

15. ITMF where Lan Wangji is a little more outspoken and Wei WuXian is a little less oblivious and they get together early. The less angst the better.

Thank you for your time ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა @tinyfoxpeach

~*~

16. In the mood for fics where LWJ loses his golden core & how he deals with it. Don't mind whether WWX also loses his or not, but hard pass on anything where WWX gives LWJ his core (unless they find a way to share somehow). @thispatternismine

stay, fury, your wrist wrapped in silk by spookykingdomstarlight (E, 228k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, Yiling Laozu LWJ, LWJ loses his golden core, yiling wei sect, Hurt/Comfort, Heavy Angst, Major Character Injury, Injury Recovery, Temporary Character Death, War Crimes, Wen Remnant, wangxian Get a Happy Ending, Revenge, LWJ goes dark for a while, WWX has a hard time with the bad shit going on around him, JGS is a bastard, Protracted Sunshot Campaign, War is war and hell is hell and of the two war is a lot worse, temporary impotence, growing intimacy, LWJ and WWX and the Wen Remnant live in the Burial Mounds together, WWX travels with LWJ and stays at his side post-Sunshot, Spanish Translation)

17. Hi Mods! hope you have a good day! for the ITMF I have two things I would like to ask A) a fic with a wangxian wedding in detail! like what they are wearing and doing, and B) a fic with some focus on Ouyang Zizhen bonding with WWX,

17A)

🧡 a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke (M, 180k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, arranged marriage) It's been a while since I read it, but pretty sure -- has a lot of detail about the wedding and the leadup.

17B)

I am a biracial (asian american) bisexual leftist w a degree in liberal arts, so basically one of the most annoying people you could bring to dinner with your conservative relatives. to make matters worse I’m a double Pisces

I write exclusively for Outer Banks (Rafe/Kiara) currently ☾

my works (all explicit)

tornado warnings series- alternate universe, multi-work series, work in progress

I wrote the series out of order bc I'm a slut for a non-linear timeline but the chronological order is as follows:

talking on a seesaw, teetering in the dark: 5 chapters, 23k words, covers Rafe and Kiara's relationship (pining, sexual tension, eventual smut) for most of high school starting in Kiara's Kook Year

i'll drive you home, you drive me crazy: one-shot, 6500 words, car sex, ovulation sex, breeding/creampie kink, established sexual relationship, dubious consent

the last thing i should have on my mind: one-shot, 6500 words, reluctance, dirty talk, sex at a party, Rafe being a possessive shit

right back in our rhythm: WIP multi-chapter story, time jump to mid-20s, exes conspiring together, sexual tension, eventual smut (obviously -- you think these two can keep from fucking for long?) trying to upload new chapters every 3 weeks or so

is it new years yet?: AU (heavy on the A), my take on a Riara holiday rom-com, snowed in trope, marshmallow fluff with side of NSFW cinnamon spice, 4 chapters, 14k words, completed work

not your queen, i'm your dictator: 4x09 rewrite, bondage, lil bit of knifeplay, dominant Kiara, switchy sub Rafe, 2 chapters, 9k words, completed work

🦇 Gwen & Art Are Not in Love Book Review 🦇

❓ #QOTD What classic story would you love to read a queer retelling of? ❓ 🦇 Gwendoline and Arthur have been betrothed to one another since birth. Too bad they absolutely hate each other. When forced to spend a summer in Camelot together, Gwen and Arthur discover tantalizing secrets about one another: Gwen witnesses Arthur kissing a boy, while Arthur learns that Gwen has a crush on the kingdom's lone lady knight, Lady Bridget Leclair. Stuck at a stalemate, they make a reluctant pact to cover for one another. While Gwen and Bridget finally connect, Arthur finds himself enamored by Gwen's brother. Can they navigate their messy feelings to find their own places in history?

[ Find my review below or on Goodreads | Storygraph | Literal ]

💜 Oh my goddess, the queer chaos in this is everything. Lex Croucher has spun Arthurian legends of old into a queer medieval YA rom-com that could easily alter history as we know it. Gwen is a bi baby, newly navigating her feelings for a badass lady knight, while Arthur is a gay, sassy messy shooting heart-eyes at Gwen's brother (the one-day king). The dialogue is EVERYTHING; sassy, quick-witted, and all too entertaining. There's somewhat sexy sword-fighting (come on, sword-fighting is always sexy, but when your queer crush is schooling you, it's all the better), fake dating (does it count as fake dating when you've been betrothed since childhood?), and heart-warming found family vibes. The queer panic and nervous humor were all too relatable, even though the story is set in medieval times. That's a true feat; you can connect with the queer chaos, even if you're shooting heart-eyes in the 21st century.

💜 That being said, let's talk about Gwen and her lady knight. I mean, get ready to absolutely SWOON alongside Gwen. Lady Bridget Lechlair is all fierce confidence (a necessity, when everyone has an unpopular opinion of you simply because you're a woman, regardless of your badass abilities), but she's also an enigma with a gooey interior. I loved seeing Gwen find her confidence through Bridget, discovering her voice and standing up for them both when necessary. Though Gwen is a royal, she's questioned her inner power and authority, as everyone around her has made it clear her only worth is in her marriage to Arthur as a political move. Spending time with Bridget gives Gwen the change to realize she's worth so much more. Though the story's quick wit and banter stands out, I think this character development is the story's real strength. Sometimes, you need someone who believes in your potential before you can see it yourself.

🦇 The only real hang-up for me was the pacing. The ending felt especially rushed, which was a disappointment after the queer chaos dragged a bit. I wonder if the writer paused for a moment, then returned to finish the latter half of the story. I also found the relationship between Arthur and Gabriel (Gwen's brother) a little underwhelming when it had so much potential at the start. Regardless, I appreciated all the queer hijinks and humor.

🦇 Recommended for fans of Heartstopper, Rainbow Rowell's Simon Snow trilogy, Red, White, & Royal Blue, and the TV show Merlin. Get ready for a swoon-worthy, medieval mess of pining and romance!

✨ The Vibes ✨ ⚔️ All the Queer Ships (w/ Serious Queer Panic) ⚔️ Fake Dating ⚔️ YA Debut ⚔️ Found Family ⚔️ Medieval/Historical Fiction/Rom-Com ⚔️ Enemies to Allies

🦇 Major thanks to the author @lexcanroar and publisher @stmartinspress / @wednesdaybooks for providing an ARC of this book via Netgalley. 🥰 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book. #Netgalley #GwenandArtAreNotinLove

DCS HOW TO LOSE A GUY GARDNER IN 10 DAYS no.1 (one shot) • cover art • Amanda Conner [Feb 2024]

Romance is rarely a simple affair—love is almost always followed by some sort of conflict. Whether you're Plastic Man twisting yourself into knots trying to please someone, or the Flash traveling back in time to make a catastrophic 50 first dates perfect, or even a lonely robot who just can't seem to find love unless it's mail from a computer screen, like Red Tornado, love actually is...a pain in the 27 dresses. So in the grand tradition of these dating conundrums a la rom-coms of the '90s and '00s, we are proud to present eight new stories about love and trying to find it in this zany world.
