PRESENT

Wonu was busy adoring Jiyeon, while your eyes were on him, Jiyeon’s voice snapping you out of your trance.

“You’ll be there as early as possible. I better see you at the venue, at least a week before. Please Y/N?”she goes on, from demanding to begging real quick.

“I'll try my best Ji. You know how busy I can get” you say, sipping your hot chai.

They were getting married.

Wonwoo was getting married and it wasn't to you.

The biggest heart break of all times.

The thought of Wonwoo being the first of your friends’ circle to be hitched, is beyond you. Wonu hated commitments, relationships didn't matter.

“I still can't believe you're marrying this annoying ass, Jiyeon. He must've really worked wonders for his previous eight lives” you say, playfully knocking Wonu’s head, signalling him to get off his phone.

“Are you really my best friend?! You're supposed to be happy for me!” he whines. You just laugh at him instead of replying. Honestly, you were happy for him. Though it wasn't something your heart desired for, you were happy to see Wonwoo happy. Even if it means that you won't ever have a chance with him. Maybe you'll eventually forget him, you think. Though that's almost impossible.

Almost.

“But I agree with Jiyeon. You need to be there ASAP, Y/N. You know how much of a wreck I turn into when I'm stressed. And all of us would have more time to spend with each other. I know how stressful all our lives have been and I'm sure we've all missed each other, so please?” he rambles, all in a single breath. As much as whatever Wonu told was true, you don't think you can physically handle it all. It’d be too overwhelming for you, with your emotions splayed out and heart on your sleeve, waiting to be ripped off by none other than the groom. So, you chose the safest option – to arrive on the wedding day.

“I'll try my best Wonu. I can only wonder how stressful it can be for the both of you, but I also know you guys are THE powerful duo who can overcome anything. So, I’ll root for the both of you, hoping everything would turn out well and I'll see you on your big day” you say, wearing a warm smile covering the growing pain in you.

The couple radiate the warmest of energy and nod at whatever you said as it’s nothing but the absolute truth. They've always been this way, unbreakable no matter what. You used to envy that, as your college-self wanted them to low-key breakup. You and Wonwoo were THAT powerful duo before Jiyeon came through, it was only human for you to be jealous of them. Now you just feel tender looking at them, there's no jealousy, which is truly surprising.

◇

Days pass by sooner than you think and you're on your way to the destination. As weird as Wonwoo can get, the wedding’s happening in winter instead of spring or summer like the others do. He was specific about this as he met Jiyeon in winter. Little did anyone know that the both of you met in winter too. Well, it was winter in your lives as you and Wonu were both loners. It’s almost fateful for the both of you to be stuck with each other for so long.

If only this wasn’t platonic, everything would be straight out of a well-written romance fiction. (haha, unlike this one)

Your said date a.k.a Seungcheol, had picked you up from your place early in the morning to drive you. Jeonghan had planned all this, since he can stay without a date as his sister was coming along. Cheol was great company, and he didn’t need to have conversations with you, making the whole scene feel alien. You were truly grateful for that, as you didn’t really have an appetite to digest the things spewed by others at the wedding. The weather was getting a bit warm for winter, making you roll your window down, feeling the sharp yet soothing breeze while you try not to feel like your heart’s about to be grilled because of the emotions you felt. Your thoughts were interrupted by Jeonghan calling Cheol, who’s phone was connected to the speaker. You pick it before he reaches, Cheol sending a small smile to you.

“Hey Cheollie, how far away are you guys?” you hear Hannie, enquiring like the mum he is.

“Hi Han, we’re an hour away. How’s it going over there?” you ask, warmth crawling up your cheeks.

“Hi Y/N!!! I can’t wait to see you,” he pauses, the boys screaming in the background as they hear about you. “These morons won’t let me speak to you, so I'm gonna hang up now and see you both soon!” he says, seemingly pushing Soonie away as he was whining over the speaker to you about not being there sooner.

Laughing, you almost hang up before pausing to ask something.

“Oh, and Han?”

“Yeah, love?”

“How’s he? Is he alright?” you ask, curiously.

Sensing how concerned you were, Han chose to not make it harder.

“He’s alright for now, babe. He’ll be okay. I’d ask about you but it’s way too early and I want you to be wrapped in my arms for at least 20mins before I ask you anything” he says, sighing in relief.

“Hannie, I thought WE were married!” Cheol whines, as you laugh at how he’s sulking over the affection Han has for you. It’s cute, how they’ve been each other's rock for so long and yours too. You’ve genuinely missed your friends so much, your heart aches a little at the instances where you avoided them to protect your peace.

Hannie’s giggles bring you back, as he replies saying that they’re over if Cheol doesn’t get us there ASAP. Now you’re dealing with a sulky Cheol, who’s whining at how Han’s pulling tricks always, though you can’t help but just laugh at your friends’ antics.

Time flies and you’re at the wedding, a whiny Chan and Soon clinging onto you as you walk. They lead you guys to where the others are and upon the sight of you, Han’s running over to you. He jumps on to you as you topple down, Hannie having no intention of letting you go. He asks about Cheol, who insisted that he can drop the bags in your room all by himself. You guys just lay on the grass for a bit and he gets up as the weather’s still a bit cold, to drag you inside the resort. Seeing all your friends made you tear up a bit, which led to all of you shedding a few tears as you guys hug the sadness away. It’s wholesome than sad, because of how much these idiots mean to you and vice versa. The friendships you’ve built with each of them is so darn precious to you and it’s baffling how you were ready to throw this all away, just for that one man. Who was now about to be married. Pushing this aside, you search for two of your other friends who were nowhere to be found. In the garden area of the resort, you find them caressing their own drinks. Mingyu’s got champagne while Jihoon’s in love with his whiskey. They’re still the same old dorks you met; you ponder over while walking towards to them.

“Already?” you say, startling the both of them as they were lost in their own drinking shenanigans.

Mingyu is the first one to get up, lifting you up while he gulfs you into him. He’s so warm and smells like home, you’ve missed this puppy.

“I’m so glad to see you, Y/N. Do you need a drink too?” he asks, ready to order one for you. You shake your head, not wanting to show up drunk at your best friend’s wedding. The minute Mingyu lets you down, you run to hug Jihoon. You feel tears stinging your eyes, heart feeling heavier than ever. Sensing that you need your time with Jihoon, Mingyu walks away telling that he’ll see you around and to contact him if anything. You hug him goodbye before turning back to Jihoon.

Honestly, he’s the best person to let your thoughts be and to just sit with it than avoiding it like a plague. Jihoon glances at you, ordering a glass of gin with ginger ale while you were settling down. Once the drink arrives, he pushes it to your side, signalling you to have it.

“Jihoon....I can’t” you say, hesitantly but low-key really needing some alcohol in your system.

“You’ll need it for later, Y/N. Have it please?” he requests, raising his glass and waiting for you to clink them with. You give up, taking the glass and toasting it with Jihoon’s before having a sip. The way your sip lasted more than it was supposed to, seemed like you were quenching your thirst but with alcohol.

Well, fuck being sober at the love of your life’s wedding, I guess.

You hang with Jihoon for a bit more, before a cute Joshua is waltzing through the room, letting you know that it’s time to get ready for the ceremony. At this, Jihoon just nodded at you and hugged you off, saying that he’ll see you at the hall in a bit. The hug lingered for a while which was broke by Jisoo, coughing to subtly steal you away from everyone.

What was with him?

Well, he had a crush on you. Everyone else knew, except for you. Even Wonwoo knew. Shua wasn’t sure if his adoration has stayed a crush for so long, but he wasn’t ready to give up on you. Though a part of him is sad that you’re not the bride, he’s slightly happier to have a chance to woo you. (PS: everyone knew you were head over heels for Wonu, cheers to being the monarch of simp nation. JK, you were too obvious around him)

Hand wrapped around his arm, Shua leads you to your room, informing that Cheol will be over to pick you up in two hours or so. You slowly get into your dress, adoring how beautiful it looks before the makeup artist’s knocking at your door. You let them in and then sit down to get your makeup done, while you snack on carrots and stay on your phone. In no time, you’re dolled up real nice and right on time, Cheol enters. He smiles at you before engulfing you in a hug, careful not to ruin the art you are.

“You look lovely, Y/N. If I weren’t gay and married to Han, I’d walk down the aisle with you tonight.” he jokes, making you laugh.

“There we go, a smile was all that was missing” he says, taking your hands in his.

“How are you feeling, dove?” he asks, eyes scanning for any discomfort or sadness.

“I’m doing alright, Cheol. Thank you for checking up on me, always” you say, giving his hands a tight little squeeze.

“Glad that Jihoon made me have a good ol’ glass of Bombay Sapphire with ginger ale. I think I can survive the ceremony without breaking down and confessing my love to Wonu, while he’s getting married to Jiyeon” you blurt out, jokingly. There’s a moment of silence as Cheol gawks at what you said before you tell him that it was a joke and how they should get going before it gets late.

Guess you are late, as the person you love would be walking the aisle with his lover, who sadly isn’t you.

Before entering the hall, you go over to see the bride and groom. You head to Jiyeon’s room, heart hurting yet happy for her. Knocking on the door, you open it to see Jiyeon, pacing around the room in her wedding gown. She looks ethereal, and so ready to share her life with your best friend. As soon as she notices you, she runs towards you to hug, and tries to collect her breaths.

“Y/N, I can’t do this. I can’t. Can you marry Wonwoo instead?” she asks, voice laced with panic. It’s pathetic how you actually consider that for a minute. Laughing it off, you pull Jiyeon back, holding her hands in yours, eyes meeting hers while you muster up the courage to say –

“Hey Ji. You’ll be alright, okay? It’s not someone you don’t know, it’s just Wonu. Everything will be alright. Breathe for me, please?"

“Right, you’re right Y/N. It's Wonwoo, why’d I didn’t think of that? Anyways, thank you Y/N. Though you’ve always been his rock, you secretly managed to be mine too” she says, a wide smile plastered on her face.

“So, I'll see you on the aisle, yeah? All the best Ji, you’ve got this” you say, leaving before she replies. Your feelings were up your throat, waiting to be pushed out anytime if you hadn’t left the room. You do the same thing you told Jiyeon – breathe. You take a few deep breaths, fixing yourself as you head towards your best friend.

Best friend.

As you were about to knock, the door opens revealing an equally nervous yet, oh-so beautifully dressed Wonu. He’s pulling you inside, locking the door behind, not giving you time to process. You wait for him to say something, instead he just looks at you like he’s about to cry if you don’t hug him.

So, you do. You embrace him in your arms, for the last time as a bachelor and probably the last time as your love.

After staying in each other’s warmth for a while, he lets go, letting you take a good look at him.

“God damn, Wonu! You look so sharp, didn’t know you could stop being in your nerd element” you joke, winking at him. He laughs, before twirling lazily to give you a 360 of his carefully crafted tux.

“Ready, big guy?” you ask, searching for any hint of resistance in his eyes. He locks eyes with you, nodding slowly. Things have always been like this with him, words didn’t seem like a necessity. You were more than glad to not be talking more than that because honestly, you wouldn't be in one piece.

“Yeah. Yes, I’m ready Y/N. Don’t think I've ever been sure of anything, than this moment right now.” he says, lips curling into a soft smile. That smile of his was reserved, only you had seen it apart from Jiyeon, of course. You reciprocate the same, hugging him for the one last time and leaving the room with the feeling of your heart, suddenly weighing a ton.

As soon as you exit the room, you find Cheol pacing around in the hallway. At the sight of you standing outside Wonwoo’s room, Seungcheol is walking towards you.

“Hey dove, you alright?” he asks, so full of concern. You smile so much as a reply. So much that your cheeks hurt and tears slowly start to well up from within the depths of your fragile heart.

“I'm okay Seungcheol. Let's head to the hall before we're late, yeah?” you slur, trying to shake your tears off. He comprehends how sensitive you are and just nods at you, silently hooking your arm to his while the both of you walk towards to hall.

You realize, the pain you feel, is beyond anything your brain could fathom and mere words can describe how much it hurts.

The hall looks so elegant and everyone there look so beautiful, like dolls in a dollhouse. There are lots of orchids and tulips, as an ornament to the room, making it look so soft yet neat. You move towards your friends, praising how good they look in their tuxedoes and chit-chatting your way through the whole thing, trying your best not to think.

Weirdly, Joshua’s by you the whole time, stuck like gum. Not that you mind it or anything, it's actually really comfortable. Cheol had left your side to sit with Hannie and he had taken over. His subtle touches and the way he looks at you – it helps you feel so grounded and you're more than thankful for that.

Music starts playing, indicating the beginning of the ceremony as you see Wonwoo, gracefully walking down the aisle with a faint blush and a soft smile set on his gorgeous face. Your heart falters at the sight and it refuses to function further when he looks at you, sending you one of his reserved smiles. You reciprocate the same, hands slowly being taken into Jisoo’s. You're amazed at how helpful his touches have been, it's shocking.

Gazing at Wonu, everything fades out for you except for the love you have for him.

And in no time, Jiyeon’s walked in, vowing to love your best friend until the last of her breath and with everything she’s got. You can feel your heart clenching, and Joshua senses the same too, as your clammy hands squeeze his unconsciously.

The thing was, Shua didn't need words from you to understand either. He looks at you, his pretty eyes checking for any discomfort and when you smile back at him, he decides not to bother you further.

There's a sudden cheering of the crowd, making you turn your head towards the couple as you see them kissing.

Vows were said, promises were made and bonds were created.

It was too late for you to do anything. You feel the emotions rushing out of you as you excuse yourself to get away from there.

I need some air you say, to all your worried friends. So busy running away from the love of your life, you don't notice Joshua following you.

As soon as you get out, clutching your chest you slump down onto the sofa at the lobby as tears paint your face. The pain is so much that you find yourself trying hard to breathe while the emotions keep nagging at you and drowning you in the depth of the love you have for Wonwoo.

While trying to calm yourself down, you feel a hand on your shoulder, the radiating warmth grounding you for the Nth time this night. You look up thinking it's Jihoon, but it's not.

Hong Jisoo stands there, tears in his eyes but also looking so fondly at you.

As if you're a porcelain tea cup who’d break if looked at any harder.

You feel pathetic, but Joshua pulls you into a hug, letting you wet his shoulders to your heart’s content. Hearts suddenly seem to weigh a ton, the energy draining all while you try your best to catch the breath you never had in the first place.

He's gone. The love of your life is no longer yours.

Jeon Wonwoo, your best friend but also the person who mattered so much, like how the sun was to the moon.

For the coldness in him, he had found his summer. But left you to be nothing, than a petal of the harsh Winter, waiting to writhe away in utter grief.

[importantdestinydefendor]

Chapter 130 rambles...

Okay, I stayed up late for this chapter so many of my first thoughts are gone, lost in the world of dreams, BUT I still want to try to form any coherant sentences.

Which is hard this chapter becaue when i read it my mind just goes blank. No thoughts behind those eyes lol. Warning: a lot of pictures!

Anyway (spoilers ahead! Read at own risk)

Possessed Innocentis still giving me the creeps eww

NOOOOO not the soldiers that guarded Innocentis!

Like that we are still at the falling stage and have yet to hit the ground (this sounds horrible jesus)

THE REACTIONS OF THE THREE samesies

The panel with the Lusitanian unifrom (is it a unifrom???) just haning there ragged - oof that was a red herring right there! I was convinced that something awful will happen to Estelle...

Aaand we cut to this! The placment of the helmet! Their faces!

I will spare you the image of Innocentis and Amdragoras mangled bodies. @tired-reader-writer has it in their reaction post if anybody wants to see it.

The way Arslan reaches for the helmet! How we can't clearly tell if it is happiness (least likely - thats just not his character) or sadness (also not really likely in my opinion) or just pure shock (most likely)

okay, Elam calm thy self! Because if you say that now then it will most likely not happ-

aaaand I was right!

Eww get back, get back, get back! Do NOT come ANY closer!

The way Elam and Daryun immediatly get into action! Same, Alfarid, same!

~Andragoras, you are a hypocrate and delusional~ You were a shit king and your court was also full of shit. Being a king does not only require to be strong. Maybe you should have listend to Narsus instead of stroking your ego, ey?

Yes, Arslan! Tell him (again)! He will still not get it but tell him!

Oh eh, he-hello Tahamenay...

Oh, why is that momet so fucking tender? It seems he did actually love her...?

Aaand it is over... serves you right, Andycakes!

Love Tahamenays face here. The pure desperation and hatred...

I also like that he slowly excepts his demise and hugs her one last time before dying... Ugh I am a sucker for tragic romances (here one sided though) and the last hug... GAH

The faces of everyone! Alafrid is me through out this entire chapter for real!

Ugh Tahamenay! I have never fell more roller coaster feelings for this woman since her talk with Arslan! You are now free!

Estelle!!!!! No baby don't falter now!

Alafriiiid! My baby, my cutie! I will die for youuuu!!!! (I will put you through so much shit in my AU, I am sorry)

This panel... It makes me feel so dejected...

The citizens stopping Estelle... There is noboy at fault (except the racism against Jaswant. Not cool, guys!)

FARANGIIIIS! My queen to the resque!

The way my heart sank when Estelle opened the door and there was nobody...

And they were save afterall! Thank you, three boys whos names I forgot (sorry)

Oh the news are spreading like wildfire!

Love the different reaction shots! And the diferent levels of emotions! (also side note: Zandeh looks really good here...)

aaand here we go! Straight to hell... here I had hoped that we get at least a little breather...

FUCK NO! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ISFANT AND KUBARD!

That is NOT Shapur, you two! RUN!

I had such a jumpscare. I was awake and tired at the same time.

No thoughts about my AU this time. Maybe some reaction scenes from Farzin and his army? Will defenitly wait until the kidnapping of Alafrid and Gieve here. Alfarid is way to important right now to just... yoink her from there.

OH! What if the do the same with Vahriz as they are doing with Shapur!? CHABIK REACTION SCENE OOOOOOH!

Chapter 5: The Curtains are on Fire

Chitters

Wild: I had a lot of fun with this chapter. Ortho is one of my favorite characters and he doesn't get nearly as much content as his fellow students do so I kinda went all out. He's so cute and sweet, I wish I had a younger brother like him

Nya: y'all this one is a roller coaster have fun!

TW: blood (literally just mentioned), lilia's cooking, dead mom trope for the shroud bros oof

Shroud Brothers: Nightmare horse

You feel nothing as you stare with a blank expression. There are no emotions on your face. There are no thoughts in your brain. There is not a jumbled soup of emotions being cooked by your brain definitely not. Nothing.

Next to you sits Silver, eyes glued onto the bigger of the two traditional bodied centaurs standing before you.

They stare back at you. Or more accurately the younger did while his brother opted to hide in his hoodie.

You had gone out with Silver to buy him new pants for his human form. He had grown a lot in the past year and now was taller than you in his half form. But you still beat him in the bipedal department. Take that.

Now able to stay indefinitely in his half and half form he had begun practicing to do the same with bipedal. After an accidental flashing to the mailman he was in immediate need of something to cover his jimmies. No more towel skirts for him. Lilia was still laughing as they left.

While you were out your uncle had brought you more pets to care for. He’d dipped just before you returned this time, leaving them waiting in the entryway. You sense a pattern starting.

You take another look at the letter he left you. According to it the two were nightmares, a magical horse with flaming hair that could summon fire at will. He warned you the younger, Ortho, was at the age where he could start doing just that. He was a curious colt and must be kept away from flammable objects to the best of your ability. If he was using his power for any reason he must be supervised.

Lovely.

His older brother, Idia, had mastered his powers. According to reports he has been diagnosed with anxiety. If his levels of anxiety became too intense his instincts would kick in and let loose. Though this has not happened since mastering his skills it was something to keep in the back of your mind.

Lovely 2.0.

Ortho stepped away from his brother's side, coming closer. You didn’t notice, his steps were surprisingly quiet despite the hooves. You flinch feeling his hand curl around your free one. Not because he startled you, after living with Lilia and the twins for so long you are much harder to catch by surprise. They were freezing! These guys could control fire shouldn’t they have a warmer temperature like Malleus did?

Next to you Silver briefly tenses. He had grown quite attached to you and was always looking out for danger.

You turn your focus away from the letter to the colt before you. Ortho’s eyes were big and shining with innocent curiosity. He suddenly grins, a couple pointy teeth peeking out from his gums. You awkwardly return the guestrue, not sure what to say. All the other times the pets had introduced themselves or others to you. You were a bit awkward if you were being honest, a result of trying to not attract attention and avoiding contact when you could.

“Orpo!” he says, swinging your arm side to side. Was he trying to shake your hand and introduce himself? “Name Orpo!” heh, he was cute you wouldn’t lie. He points back at his older brother excitedly, “Nii-chan! Meet Nii-chan!” he tugs on your hand. You let him pull you closer to the older nightmare, a wave of relief washing through. Thank the seven he wasn’t as shy as his brother appeared to be. Silver follows close behind.

Idia was still hiding in his hoodie. You can hear faint mumbling from inside. The nightmare jumped when his brother patted his second chest, his tail making a crackling pop noise. Peeking out he looks down at the two of you, letting out a “hei!” when he sees you.

“Did you choose your rooms yet?” you ask, letting Ortho bring your and Idia’s hand together. He wanted the two of you to shake hands like he had with you earlier. Which was proving to be difficult. He brought together your left and Idia’s left, but you made it work by entwining your fingers with his. A tiny blush creeped across Idia’s face with his blue hair simultaneously doing the same at the ends. Ortho seemed to be satisfied, his own hands wrapped around yours rocking them back and forth in the air.

You repeat your question, this time getting an answer.

Idia shook his head, mumbling about this being a new map they shouldn’t just explore without a guide. Interesting way to put it.

Letting go of his (suddenly sweaty) hand (yeesh that got damp quick), you explain this place used to be a dorm so they would definitely be able to get their own room each. Ortho insisted on holding both your and his brother’s hand for the tour. It was adorable, if you tried to pull away he got a little pouty and tightened his grip. You are no longer mad your uncle brought a fire wielding baby into the house.

As you lead them around, you can hear an all too well known skittering hard floor scratching steppies following behind. A certain trio was unsurprisingly curious about the newcomers.

You turn around to make a shooing motion with your free hand after ascending the stairs to the second floor. Idia had also noticed and was becoming anxious with their tailing. Whenever they stopped he started nervously pawing at the floor. Your floors were very old and needed to be replaced. Even if your uncle had given you a credit card, he’d said only to use it for the essentials. Apparently replacing the floorboards that could break without a moment's notice didn’t count.

Unfortunately for you, the boys thought you were telling them to come closer. They bounded over, excited to interact with the newbies. Silver attempted to block and grab them with no success.

Ortho was delighted, he bent down so his face was closer. Jack began sniffing his face, his tail a tornado of white. Deuce made an excited chittering sound, standing on his back legs and putting his front legs atop Jack’s head to get close. Sebek also used Jack as a support, his smaller legs using the wolf pup’s back. Both of the scaly centaurs' tails thumped against the floor. You watched them scramble over each other, trying to be the closest to the colt. Meanwhile Silver was trying to get them to settle down. Once again he was unsuccessful.

Noticing the lack of scraping you turn to check on Idia. The nightmare was staring as the kids interacted, eyes big and unblinking. The anxiety was still there, but his body language hinted at slight hostility with how tense he was. You reach over and pat his side, causing him to startle with another “hei!” as he sidestepped away. Out of the corner of your eye you see Silver straighten up ready to act if necessary.

“They’re good kids, if they harm him it’s by mistake. Relax, there hasn’t been a single fight. And that’s saying something with all the big personalities here.” you reassure, stepping closer and resting a hand on his side. He flinches at your touch, his muscles tensing more but stays in place.

Standing on tiptoes, you start to scratch the spine of the horse half. Everyone absolutely loved when you did this and would relax under your nails. You assumed the same applied and well lookie here! His muscles are untensing and fingers unclutching. 

As Idia starts to calm he moves closer without thinking. You smile, upping the ante and using your other hand to scratch what you could reach of the human spine. A happy nicker comes out of him as you give him some love.

~~~~~~

In the end the brothers chose a pair of rooms that had a broken wall between them. They didn’t want to be separated and convinced you to let them merge the rooms into one. You ask Silver to find Malleus, intending to ask him to use his magic to make get rid of the wall that had seen better days and combine some beds together for them.

When inquired about the reason for the dragon Idia said the bed merging wouldn’t be necessary. He informed you that equine centaurs like them needed special beds due to health problems that would occur later if they slept in certain ways too often. Thankfully they already had some of their own belongings from the ranch they’d been living at previously. They were to be delivered the coming weekend, in the meantime he could sleep standing up and only Ortho would need a bed since he was still young.

Upon hearing what the nightmare said the trio asked if Ortho could sleep with them tonight and began fighting over who got to sleep next to him. You hadn’t even said yes yet.

They were the only ones without rooms of their own, as they were too young to be left without supervision for long periods of time. Your master solution? Let them sleep with you. The bed was far too big in the first place. You didn’t like how empty it felt when you were in it all by your lonesome.

Idia instantly shoots down the idea, refusing to let Ortho out of his sight during the night. He was practically a baby still, Idia needed to be close at all times! Though it seemed like this was more for his sake than his brothers.

In response the boys ganged up on the overprotective brother, whining to let him. Even Ortho joined in. It was kinda funny watching a big animal being flustered by much smaller ones.

You watched on with a smile, forgetting the letter in your pocket. Not the best thing to let slip your mind. Everything was fine until Deuce lost his patience and nipped at Idia’s ankle.

Idia reacted instinctively, kicking Deuce away with a frightened whinny and retreating backwards with a crackling mane and tail. Deuce hit the wall with a thud! followed by loud yelp. Sensing his brother’s fear, Ortho also became frightened and instinctively switched into his animal form. The colt’s eyes went wild and he began pacing around, nearly stepping on the smaller pets. His own hair began to pop and crackle.

Jack and Sebek got angry seeing their friend harmed. Turning into their animal forms, Jack begins running between Idia’s legs spooking him further. Meanwhile Sebek is snapping at his hooves and ankles. Now there is another fire hazard horse prancing around your hall.

You’re panicking in the midst of the commotion, shouting for everyone to calm everyone down while simultaneously trying to get Deuce to give you a straight answer. The poor thing was crying, holding his arm. You’re unsure if you should or shouldn’t touch his arm. Would that make it worse?

A snarling gust of wind flying overhead catches your attention. Of all the times you needed to be found, this was one of the shortest.

You turn to be greeted with the view of a conclusion jumping dragon Malleus pinning a now shrieking horse Idia to the floor. Ortho had a mouthful of his hair and was desperately trying to pull him off. Jack was giving Ortho’s tail the same treatment. Sebek has his jaws tight around Idia’s leg as he is jerked in every direction.

You start yelling at Malleus to get off. If he hears you he doesn’t show. He takes no notice of the pulls on his hair or screaming of his master. His focus is solely on the prey underneath his claws starting to break its skin. 

Why are they ignoring you? There’s blood on the floor. You’ve been working so hard to make sure they’re comfortable, the least they could do is listen! Idia has summoned a fireball to hit Malleus. It’s loud. A vase has been smashed. Who should you call for Deuce’s injury? The curtains are on fire. Do the smoke alarms work? Ortho has kicked Jack off his tail. Is that just Idia’s blood? Do you even have smoke alarms?  It’s too loud. Does your uncle know anything about treating injuries? Jack has gotten a hold of Ortho’s tail again. Your eyes are getting glossy. You can’t think. Your vision is blurry. You don’t know what to do. It’s too. Fucking. LOUD.

A loud shriek suddenly resounds through the air. Everyone freezes in place, stunned by the sudden ringing in their ears. Lilia stands at the end of the hall in his largest form. Under him was a worried, somewhat frightened fox Silver. Peeking from the corner of the stairs are your sea dwelling pets, hair soaked and barely transformed in their human forms.

Everyone seems to shrink as Lilia walks towards them, his gaze dominating them into submission. Even Malleus looked spooked, trying to make himself appear smaller than he was.

With a hiss he tells Malleus to get off and for the other two to let go of the nightmares. They wordlessly obey, putting as much distance between them as possible with the space there was.

Idia gets off his side but doesn’t stand. His chest is heaving and eyes still big as saucers. Ortho stands next to him, licking a cut on his shoulder. He tries to soothe his terrified brother with quiet whinnies and gentle nuzzles.

Lilia lets out a growl, staring a moment longer before bending down to assess Deuce. Finding the younger to only be bruised his attention switches to you. But his son has already taken on that role.

Silver has taken on his centaur form and was cradling your head in his chest. Other than a quick “did you get hurt?” he had said nothing. Simply tracing shapes on your back. But that was enough for you. You just needed some quiet.

As you were taken care of Lilia busied himself with the others instead, silently entrusting you to Silver. A minute later he was satisfied.

“Now then,” he stands as tall as the ceiling allows. Arms crossed, he puts a wing over his son and you, “care to share what happened?”

~~~~~~

As a punishment you (see; Lilia) made Malleus in charge of the troublesome trio until the weekend rolled around. This meant the boys would be staying in his room and couldn’t sleep with you. And boy oh boy were they not happy.

It would be the first time they would be sleeping someplace other than your bed. They begged you not to kick them out, saying they were sorry and promising they wouldn’t do it again. But you (again, see; Lilia) stand your ground, this would serve as a good lesson.

Malleus shared the same emotions towards the punishment. It was his turn to sleep in the bed with you this week. Next week was the twins and Azul’s turn, and after that was Lilia’s turn. Silver was still small enough in his fox form that he could squeeze in no matter whose turn it was so he joined on and off, sometimes wanting to stay in his own bed instead.

As an apology for this mess of a first day you invited the new residents to sleep in your room. Ortho was happy, excited to sleep in a bed as big as yours. Idia said since it would only be a few days there wouldn’t be any health concerns to worry about.

Thankfully by dinner Ortho had seemingly forgotten the whole shebang. He was bouncing around under the watchful eye of Lilia behind you while Idia taught you how to make his specially prescribed milk formula. Ortho had some health complications and needed a special diet until further notice.

On the topic of munchies, it was past 7 when you finally got the four naughties to eat dinner. Or at least three of them. All four were too emotional to eat during dinner. The younger three ate after Lilia suggested he make them something himself.

If they weren’t so young you wouldn’t have pushed them so much. But you did not want to be awoken in the middle of the night because they were hungry after this stressful hell of a day.

Note: weaponize the bat’s cooking

Malleus, however, outright refused. He Isolated himself on the roof, sulking up there until it was time for the boys to sleep.

Lilia said not to worry about him or the youngers. Malleus had done the same when he was young and pouting, it was best to leave him alone when he wanted to be. And it was common for emotional centaurs to not have an appetite, especially when said were negative.

Now back to the brothers.

It is 8:30 and time for Ortho’s before bed bottle. And all the excitement from today had caught up to Ortho. He was falling asleep as his brother fed him, barely able to keep his eyes open. Even choked a few times from dozing off.

Silver had decided to join you today. He was still worried about you after the fight earlier and wanted to stay close. In fact he hadn’t left your side once since the whole fiasco. At least Idia didn’t mind him, they actually seemed to get along well.

Idia surprises you when Ortho finishes, putting his arms under his brother's belly and hoisting him into the air to carry him to the bed. How was he strong enough to carry him? His arms looked like twigs.

You gather up the empty dishes to put them on your dresser. They can be washed in the morning. Or stay there and collect dust and ants for a week. Fate will decide.

“Don’t forget to take those down in the morning less you want to room with ants again~” you just give the bat a thumbs up with a mumbled “yeah yeah”.

Idia stands next to the bed, a blanket thrown over his body. He hadn’t exchanged his hoodie for a different one. Hopefully he had more.

You had said he could sleep with the two of you but he declined, saying he isn’t ready to start a level like that yet. The gaming lingo would take some time getting used to.

Ortho had claimed one of your bigger pillows and was snoozing away, nickering in his sleep. You cover him with a blanket, a gentle smile finding its way to your face when you push a strand of his blue flaming mane off his face. As you get comfy Silver squeezes between your arms in his fox form for snuggles.

Above you Lilia starts to sing. You didn’t know what language, but it seemed oddly familiar.

You close your eyes, succumbing to his lullabies of a dreamless slumber.

~~~*~~~

Idia watches you being oh so gentle with his brother and the fox centaur, glad to see the two of you were getting along.

While drifting off to sleep he thinks about the ranch they had been raised on before Crowley had come along. The trainers would beat the pets if they misbehaved or tried to stand up for themselves. They were treated like an item instead of living beings. Humans would stare at him like he was nothing but a rare collectible. He remembered how the owners of the breeding program had raged because he was too anxious to perform in dressage competitions as his kind were expected to. How they’d planned to use him as nothing more than a breeding slave.

And he remembered how they’d thrown his mother’s body into the back of a truck on route to a glue factory like she was useless garbage, grumbling about how much money had been wasted on her to only give birth to a half dead useless foal.

He looks at you again. Ortho had snuggled closer to you, his head now using your arm as a pillow. Your other arm was draped over him, securing him in a gentle hug with the fox in the middle.

Idia watches you for a bit longer before giving into Lilia’s songs of sleep himself, hopeful you were much kinder than all the other humans he’s met.

[ikemenomegas]

I love love the character of the alpha in jjk. their relationship with gojo is super complex and the alpha's character itself is super complicated itself and thats why i love them sm. you mentioned before that they keep their silence when things get bad and i got reminded of my own experiences as the youngest child in a family where i had to shut up about my own sufferings just to keep the peace in the family and sooner or later, the person will blow up and thats what makes this character so interesting because you see how theyre keeping themselves together but we can also read their thoughts and we know that they are not okay and you're just waiting for the moment they'd go apeshit. And i also like how their relationship with gojo is the way it is because they both are shamans before they are two human beings deeply in love.

ANYWAYS BACK TO BEING IGNORANT OF CANON

Nobara sending a message to gojo asking why tf didnt he turn up for class to which gojo replies with a picture of of himself and his alpha beside him in disneyland wearing mickey mouse merch and telling her he's on a busy and dangerous mission

the alpha and nanami talking and purposely ignoring gojo annoying them

Thank you anon! It's been super fun putting together a layered character who suits this world but also a lot of work haha.

Oof, I'm the eldest daughter (and eldest child) in my family and I think this is something the eldest and the youngest often shake hands on, is that you frequently have to put aside your own suffering in order to be responsible or keep the peace. And this emotional pressure cooker eventually does blow up, but because it's everything, and when it goes on long enough there's nowhere to aim those feelings, it means that complicated feelings go everywhere, there's no single person or situation at fault so it feels like it's everything going wrong. One thing that's also a curse of the youngest is probably seeing every interaction between the rest of your family, on top of how the you are feeling, and being incredibly disturbed by how those interactions play out and are affected by personal bias and selfishness.

I think we forget a lot that even though there's only two kids, Megumi is the youngest and part of his "I only want to be responsible for my people, not the rest of the world" comes from that place of seeing how everyone around him takes on so much responsibility and justification it makes them crazy and his resentment at the world for doing that to them.

But yes!! Back to the fun happy times hahaha:

Oh my gosh, can you imagine how many curses there would be in a place like theme park where emotions and desires and disappointments are running high??? There probably are curses lurking around and they are at work but the "busy and dangerous" part is Gojo trying to get alpha to go on all of the roller-coasters together.

If Nobara complains loud and long enough, the whole first year class might "end up with" a surprise extra day off and oh look, Megumi just happens to have a set of tickets lol. Satoru is a troll, but even he would agree with getting the kids out to a theme park at some point - however the tickets aren't from him, the tickets are alpha who felt bad that Satoru was making fun of her all the time XD. Except Satoru makes them clean up some curses while they're in the area so it's not much of a vacation...

Alpha and Nanami, their cute kouhai, trying to read a map or something while Satoru has shown up to check on them and make a ruckus is killing me haha. Eventually Nanami's hinting "please deal with that" glances get to be too much and you have to buy Satoru a snack to shut him up for a minute and remind him he's cared for.

[spookyserenades]

I cant- author how could you, I have to stop reading in between the chapters bc there’s just so much fluff mixed with steamy ness mixed with sadness mixed with wholesomeness. Every time I read a chapter I’m on a roller coaster and I don’t know how to handle everything sksjebrdisk. TEASE! They’re all teases and the fact that they all know what their doing like fr she’s not gonna make it to the end of the year, bet! No cause joon is literally jsut a big goof ball, menacing wolf my ass- deep inside he’s jsut a nerdy hunk of beef jerky. No ngl that hobi scene got me felling like DAMN, ouchie but also steamy oof oof oof. No like I felt that bite fr, him and jk fr. I thoguht jimin scent scene would be tamer and it was in a sense, but like you still feel the steamy ness when you read it like it’s so him soft and gentle manly omg your writing is jsut so good. Like all my friends are writers, I’m not really one but I showed them your fic and they were so impressed for realz, also many of them are all addicted to trouvallie and it’s characters now lol. Frankly I don’t understand all the work that goes into writing I don’t write that often unless it’s an assignment or smth but my friends love your writing, [they mainly read on ao3, not tumble tho so they don’t got accounts…. Yet ;)] Even tho I don’t understand what writers go thru, I truly apprêtâtes all the work you put into this series, you give us a heavy spicy chapter every month, I mean 20k is a lot so ty. Honestly personally believe you should have more likes. Also I know this is already really long, but I tend to smths forget their physical features, like eye color and stuff like I know Jin and joon have like amber ish and then jimin has yellow but do the rest have brown? I feel like yoongi had green but I may be mixing it up with another fic. Also, do their ages match this year or last year since you’ve been writing this since last year? Ok thanks that’s enough for now, have a good week!

FDSAFH This update was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, huh!! I'm really excited that I was able to stir up all those emotions in you, though. You're sooo right they're ALL a bunch of teases, MC must be going THROUGH it, I mean seriously! 👹

Ugh Joonie... he really has that 'big bad wolf' vibe that masks a certain sweetness or innocence within him. Nerdy beef jerky that's SUCH a good way to describe him I'm crying!! And Hoseok PLS I just... needed his scenting scene to be as sexy as he is. As for Jimin, that's the exact vibe you described I was going for-- gentle, manly and steamy ahhh!! 🛐

Omg also... thank you so much for being so sweet about my writing! I'm blushing so hard 😭🥺... thank you for showing my story to your friends, that means so much to me, and please tell them thank you for their kind words as well for me! I'm planning on cross posting Trovaille on AO3 soon additionally, so I'll make sure to post an announcement for that if your friends are more comfortable reading on that platform! I love planning and writing these chapters every month, and making them nice and lengthy as well... as for likes, I'm very happy with my interactions at the moment! I have sweet, kind, and clever readers, and I believe that those who are meant to find Trouvaille always will. 🥰💓💜

So for physical features of each hybrid! I think it'll be helpful for me to list them here for you and anyone else who has forgotten or didn't catch it before! Their ages match up to their ages as of August 2022- so Jeongguk will be turning 25 in the next chapter, and so forth. Here are their eye/hair colors:

Seokjin: Sunset-like orange eyes, blue black curly/wavy hair

Yoongi: Green/gold hazel eyes, black hair

Hoseok: Cocoa brown eyes with caramel/gold flecks, red/brown mahogany wavy hair

Namjoon: Amber (like orangey, dark honey) eyes, silver grey hair

Jimin: Yellow (like butterscotch) eyes, honey blonde hair

Taehyung: Red (carmine) brown eyes, curly black hair

Jeongguk: Black eyes, mixed chestnut brown hair

I tried my best to give each of the boys similar colored eyes to what kind of hybrid they are-- for example, black jaguars typically have those copper-penny eyes, and elks have deep black eyes. To give them all a bit of distinction, as well! 💜

Hope you're doing well, love, and thank you for sending me this wonderful message! 💓🥰

[bloodfcst-a]

(Had to swap blogs, tumblr denies me to express my desire for headcanon questions.) Does Yuffie have a good relationship with her parents while growing up? Any particular good memories?

HEADCANON.

Yufi’s memories with her father typically have to do with proving her worthiness to him. Originally, Godo is disappointed that he doesn’t have a son…he wanted an heir, and did not consider a female to be suitable to the cause. 

His animosity is also in part that she resembles her late mother, and that’s sure to cause him grief… that Yufi, upon being brought into the world, seemingly stole the life from her mother in the process. Obviously not purposely, but Godo doesn’t need a reason to be so suspicious or hostile towards her– and his attitude with her is reflected within his staff, and extends into the community as well. It’s only when Yufi begins to openly reject and rebel against him that he begins to see the error of his ways and attempt to garner her favor…. leading them to have a strained relationship in her adulthood.

Early in Yufi’s life is dictated by Godo’s rejection of her: he places distance between her by sending her off with her paternal grandparents in infancy to older toddler, believing he has not the time, resources, or instinct to care for a child, despite living in a complex with live-in/help and personal assistants who could easily care for them as such. When the idea is suggested to him once Yufi has some autonomy (approximately age 4), Yufi returns from the countryside to the mainland, but will continue to spend the summers with her grandparents learning domesticated chores and tasks. Once she returns to the community, she’s immediately placed into the care of maidens and lecturers. Yufi does not attend formal schooling, and instead learns the basics of education along with specialized attention to history, economics, culture, calligraphy, and music. Yufi is proficient in the zither, but enjoys playing lute and the shamisen. However, despite her ability to intellectually excel, Yufi’s ever aware of her father’s avoidance of her, and asks to learns trades and skills, such as archery, alchemy, and smithery. Regardless of being well-rounded, it’s not enough to garner his attention.

As a teenager, Yufi grows tired of being paraded as an item or artifact to be showcased and instead wishes to be treated as an equal. In order to do such, however, her physical ability and prowess must be tested. Thus, Yufi learns arts of self-defense as well as attacks, finding that in lieu of her stature or overt strength, she can instead focus on stealth, evasion and precision. She trains from the bottom rank of the dojo to the top, where eventually she can challenge Godo himself. It takes a number of attempts before Yufi is successful– but even then, he does not see her as a successor; instead, he finds her worthy of being under him as second-in-command. She takes it.

As a result of Godo’s distance to her, Yufi’s hesitant in allowing people to be emotionally close to her in her relationships, and finds that even friendships can be difficult to maintain. However, she has a lighthearted personality and is fun-loving, making it easy for her to form partnerships and acquaintances– rather adequate for business. 

Yufi has two major showdowns with her father–at age 14, and again at 17. It is at 14 where she demands that he not force her into one box as either his son or his daughter… Yufi is his child, his heir, an undeniable truth that does not require Yufi to either be just a treasure OR just a talented person… Yufi can and is both. At 17, when Yufi is successful at besting Godo both intellectually and physically, she demands he recognize her for what she is… worthy, or risk losing her forever. Given that he’s already lost his wife, he has no intention of losing the remainder of his family and then attempts from then on to put in effort towards their relationship. 

Even as an adult, Yufi recognizes him as a parent in the sense that she came from him and that he provided for her… but doesn’t hold a close relationship to him outside of recognizing his position of reverence as leader of their community, and that she must defect decisions to him. She also recognizes that bad publicity she creates would reflect poorly on him, so she is hyper-vigilant of how and what she’s recognized for in public, using it to either promote him or weaponizing it against him depending on the situation. Godo realizes that he does not know anything substantial about Yufi, and attempts to learn more about her interests and to bring associated businesses into the community in order to win favor. It’s not entirely successful, but Yufi appreciates the thought and does notice his effort, despite how late it took him to actually care. She still isn’t entirely convinced it’s for her well-being, suspicious that he primarily cares about his own prestige before her.

But in reality, it’s more or less that Godo is pained by Yufi because he remembers her late mother Kasumi when he sees her, and he just… doesn’t handle his sadness in a manner that allowed him to have a cohesive relationship with his child.

So…. he’s a bad dad and Yufi’s insecurities stem from him……. she’ll have daddy issues forever…. all the pieces come together now.

Are there good memories? I mean… the small moments of praise he would give her, perhaps, because she loves being noticed, likes the attention he would sporadically give her if she succeeded. And as a result, Yufi for some time attempted to perfect everything…. until that rift at 14, when Yufi finally decided that life is worth living and being true to herself first and foremost before anyone else… including her family. 

Money can buy a lot of things but it can’t really buy substantial relationships, and… it’s taken Godo a long time to see that providing means a lot more than just the physical… it’s the emotional bond as well.

I hope that was helpful! …….and sad.

Kakashi Relationship Headcanons

Guess who’s back with another relationship headcanon today? And as usual, I had a good time writing this one even got slightly carried away, hehe. Enjoy! XX. 

Well— Hatake Kakashi, huh? Dating him would be such a roller coaster ride, tbh. It’s like, one moment he’s so clingy, fragile, so afraid of losing you— but one moment he’s like, “Just do what you need to do. I don’t really care.” This is due to the fact that he’s got a lot of things in his mind and occasionally struggled to sort out his priorities. 

Anyway, of course you’ve complained about his ‘reading-smut-in-public’ issue, especially when you’re together. You two would come up with an agreement somehow. But to piss you off, he’d pretend like you’re the one who’s obsessed with reading smuts.

You’re browsing for some important books and he playfully yelled, “Y/N! Come here, it’s your favorite book— Icha Icha Tactics! My, I know you’ve had four books, but another one won’t hurt, right? Since you love it that much!” making everyone in the bookstore giggled.

He received “Y/N Signature Punch” that day.

To your surprise, he’s not very secretive about his relationship with you. In fact, you’ve caught him frequently use you as an excuse for him to escape some unwanted occasions.

Let’s say Gai was asking Kakashi to fight him like usual— and he wasn’t having it that day. “Gai, with all respect— I would gladly accept your challenge. But can’t you feel the springtime of romance youth is blooming? I must see Y/N immediately.”

Gai’s tearing up.

Don’t worry, he actually went to your place.

“Yo. Can we hang out? I just told Gai that I would come to your place. Please say ‘yes’ to make me less of a jerk, will you?”

Would totally show up in front of your place at an ungodly hour.

At first it surprised you but now you’re used to it.

You just finished your mission, it went pretty well but you felt there were some wasted chances due to your captain’s miscalculation. It’s nearly 2 AM but you caught yourself wide awake, reviewing back your battle– only to got distracted by a knock on your bedroom’s window. Instead of turning your head in surprise, you already knew who it was. To have a little fun for yourself, you ignored the sound, which was later followed by a second knock. Walking over to the window, you saw a silver-haired man with a mask. Although half of his face was covered, it’s obvious that a smile was apparent. “Yo.” he greeted, but you replied with a sigh. “You could actually knock on the door and I’d let you in through the door. It’s something normal people would do, Kakashi.” you grumbled, opening the window for him to get in. “Ah, spare me the lecture!”

So, reverse psychology works best for Kakashi. Like the Icha Icha Tactics– the more you ignore his behavior, he would actually try not to read his book in public like you told him to. But the more you complain, he’d read it in places where he shouldn’t be reading it at all. This method works in almost every cases.

You’ve been dating for weeks, but you haven’t seen his face.

Yes, when kissing, too.

You’ve had enough of kissing fabric. 

You had planned to make a dinner together at his place. He was preparing the dishes and you’re about to finish your cooking, when he suddenly asked, “Hey, Y/N. Have you ever wondered what would I look like under this mask?” You were dying to know actually. So, now you’re stuck with two options: (a) be honest about it, (b) pull out another reverse psychological answer— and you chose the latter. “Huh? Not really,” you shrugged, “I don’t really care so it’s not like I’m eager to see it.” and of course, this was a lie. Kakashi went silent for a while. “Anyway, dinner’s re—“ you swore you could’ve dropped the whole pan when you saw an unfamiliar presence. “Kakashi?” you asked hesitantly. The man looked up with a questioning look, “Why are you blushing?” he replied casually.

“ANYONE WITH A DECENT EYESIGHT WOULD BLUSH TOO, YOU STUPID.”

He’s honestly so heavenly to look at.

Sometimes it’s just too overwhelming to see his whole face, you thought.

It’s safe to say that it’s a privilege to be able to see his face. But due to his immense charm, you’d prefer to have him with a mask on.

“Y/N, I feel naked without my mask—“ , “And I honestly feel like I’m being forced to see an illicit nudity, too. Put your mask on, it’s fine honestly.”

He’s been very good at his job for almost his whole life, a fine shinobi. So, he’s rarely exposed to mundane things, moreover a relationship. Thus, making him quite restrained in expressing himself. Plus, he was labelled with some negative titles, saying how cold-blooded he was and he just decided to live with it. This, obviously, requires a lot of patience.

But he’s determined to change, the first step he took was letting you in— into his life.

It started rocky, though.

He’d say something like how he didn’t care much about you and sadly, he really didn’t.

But as the time went by he realized how your presence has been the one that helped him through it. How you’ve always been there to comfort him, by listening to him, giving him a lot of supports, or simply by reminding him that he’s not completely alone.

And when that moment came, he’s sworn to protect you with all his might.

He had a lot of nightmares, he still does, unfortunately. But when you’re around, your presence eases him up a little.

When you’re not around, however, he’d rather spend all night unhealthily tiring himself until he fall asleep.

His personal favorite would be curling up next to you with his hand around your waist while hiding his face near the crook of your neck as he’s giving you some soft neck kisses.

Again, NECK KISSES.

He had a hard time trying to open up himself fully to you and this applies to romantic gestures, I believe. He surely would take his time to explore you, what you like, and what he likes.

Would shower you with kisses, all over your face without missing a spot. He greatly admires every inches of yourself. 

Body worship, oof.

Lowkey (semi highkey) protective.

Lowkey (semi highkey) a show-off.

Would straight up jump to save you if it’s necessary.

And since he’s a show-off, he lowkey loves PDA— but the soft ones, of course. You two would always get spotted together. He would casually sling his arm around your shoulder or lazily has his hand wrapped around your waist.

Favorite time to spend with you is training together. No matter how many times you’ve told him to “fight with an intent to win” he simply refuses— saying how, he’s “far too powerful” for you.

But deep down he just doesn’t want to hurt you…

Chatting in the middle of a training

“Tsunade-sama hasn’t assigned me any missions lately *throws kunai*” , “Maybe if you threw your kunai accurately, she will. *dodge kunai*” , “Kakashi, shut your pretty mouth up. *throws MORE kunai aggressively*”

When you turned him down while he was showing off his new tricks, though, it weirdly turned him on.

He loves someone powerful, with a right amount of cocky.

Doesn’t talk big. He’s a man of action— his action speaks louder than words!

Doesn’t spoil you that much, though. Because it’s actually him who needs to be spoiled.

Really loves it when you trace your fingers all over his skin— it’s intimately soft, he claimed.

LOVES YOUR SCENT. Has it memorized probably.

He’d prefer someone independent. Someone who could actually take care of themselves instead of relying on him completely. 

Anyone too childish would remind him of Team 7, tbh.

Speaking of Team 7, they would probably be the one to get introduced to you.

Naruto was so shocked to find out that his sensei was capable to develop a romantic feeling towards someone. But he had his doubt— do you really know Kakashi? He started to bombard you with questions to test your knowledge.

“So, do you know what’s Kakashi Sensei’s favorite—“ , “I’ve seen his face. Multiple times.” , “YOU WHAT?”

Complained and sulked about it, “Kakashi Sensei, we’ve trained together for years. How could you?!”

Sakura was confused.

“How? I know he’s probably very handsome under that mask but come on, Y/N, reading smut in public? That’s an absolute no.”

On the contrary, Sasuke was thrilled, internally.

“Yeah. Finally. Old man has someone to annoy besides us. About time.”

He has a pretty bad behavior, too. Unlike Gaara, who’d put an emotionless facade when he’s only in the Kazekage mode, Kakashi would treat you just how he feels like doing it that day. 

Let’s be real, he has so many bottled up feelings inside his heart so it’s not a surprise that someday, somehow, a random painful emotion just hit him— hard, and he shut himself out.

The hospital is the place you immediately visit right after Kakashi’s arrival after a mission because you know he’d be there— reading his book with a few bruises here and there. But this time was a bit different. When he’s hospitalized, he would whine about you not being able to stay more than an hour— but right now you’re puzzled, since he’s been completely silent and avoiding you, answering your questions with a mere shrugs.

Tsunade told you that the mission went pretty well, thanks to Kakashi for eliminating all the enemies on the field, singlehandedly. You automatically knew that it must brought up his past traumas. “Kakashi, it’s not your fault.” you decided to speak, earning a glance from Kakashi, but that’s it. “It’s a mission and you protected all of your comrades!”

“I killed them, Y/N. I didn’t have to, but I did.” he said, with his eyes still glued elsewhere. “Every time I look at my hands, I feel dirty. It reminded me of that—“, “Kakashi, look at me.”

You moved closer to his bed, reaching out your hand and traced your fingers softly on his face. His cheeks were cold, and you could clearly see how he was slightly trembling with teary eyes. “Kakashi, if you didn’t do it— it could’ve been your own comrades. Now they’re safe and sound, thanks to you.”, you paused as he slowly began to move his sight to you. “And if I could meet you way sooner, I would remind you every day that it’s never your fault— it’s never been. You’re a good person, Kakashi. I, and all of us, are forever thankful for the things you’ve done.” you whispered, now wiping a few tears that fell down to his cheeks. A weak smile started to bloom, “I’m forever thankful for you as well, Y/N.”

(More) Star Wars Fic Recs

[first fic rec list]

Hello everyone, hope you've been having a lovely week! Here's another list of some fics I've really enjoyed reading or rereading recently. I try to have a mix of things I don't think got enough love, fics from a while ago that deserve to be reread, stuff from writers on Tumblr, and of course, just stuff I think is great.

atmosphere level by softredscrunchie (gen, one-shot, 1k words, Obi-Wan & Satine) Obi-Wan's hurt and sick and annoyed so Satine decides to distract him by arguing passionately that Mandalore is, in fact, flat. Obi-Wan, being the nerd he is, gets more and more wound up as she refuses to back down. This fic is one of the funniest things I've read in a long while, highly recommend if you're having a bad day.

a comedy in four acts by jesuisdeux (gen, one-shot, 4k words, Obi-Wan & Dooku & Yoda) Obi-Wan and Dooku both time-travel from the point of their deaths way back to when Obi-Wan was a young Padawan. Ft. Classic Dooku glowering at a 13 year-old, caring and empathetic Yoda, and Obi-Wan flat out telling a very confused Qui-Gon that he's gonna kill Dooku.

the day begins with burning by @kototyph (gen, one-shot, 6.3k words, Obi-Wan & Anakin) This fic takes place in a world where the Jedi Order finds out about the Tusken massacre and puts Anakin on trial (internally). We start off right as the Council is delivering their verdict, and it's a roller coaster of emotions from start to finish. I like it because it does not shy away from the fact that Anakin murdered a bunch of people and there really need to be consequences for that, but also isn't just Anakin bashing. The relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan really shines through here.

The Ghosts of Memory by @pandora15 (gen, one-shot, 2.1k words, Obi-Wan & Anakin & Ahsoka) Obi-Wan and Anakin are invited back to Naboo for the ten year anniversary of the battle. I mean, that sounds relatively benign but OOF. So many feelings. So many thoughts of what could have been. Go read this fic!

Anamorphosis by avocadomoon (Obi-Wan/Padmé, one-shot, 33.5k words) Obi-Wan and (a slightly older) Padmé keep in touch after the events on Naboo and keep their eventual marriage out of the public eye. Qui-Gon lives, but the Council still doesn't accept Anakin for training so he and Shmi are taken in by a wonderful benefactor -- Sheev Palpatine. Nothing can go wrong there, right? This is an absolutely fascinating re-imagining of the prequels era. I'm so sad it's only a one-shot, because there's so much to explore here.

on sith holocrons and misunderstandings by billowypants (gen, one-shot, 7.2k words, Obi-Wan & Anakin) As the summary says, "de-aged!Obi-Wan has the same Force bonds as adult Obi-Wan, and he does not react well." Bit of an understatement, that. This fic really makes me feel bad for both Obi-Wan and Anakin. Wrap them up in blankets and give them hugs, please.

In Control by @kckenobi (gen, one-shot, 3.5k words, Obi-Wan & Anakin) I don't normally seek out fics with young Anakin, but I love KCKenobi's stuff so I was like "I'm game" and that was most definitely not a mistake. What a cute fic this is! The basic premise is that Anakin is getting his license to drive/fly a speeder and poor Obi-Wan is dragged along for the ride, literally. Highly recommend.

always gold by @happygiraffe (gen, 4/4 chapters, 10k words, Obi-Wan & Anakin) Obi-Wan hasn't been Master to Anakin for that long before he finds out his cancer is back. Oh man. Let me tell you, I don't cry easily. Really, I don't. But the most recent time I read this fic, I had to set my phone down at the end and ugly-sob for literally ten minutes before I could properly compose myself. It affected me that much. This fic showed me the power of words. My only hope is that one day I will be able to accomplish what @happygiraffe has with this fic!

fill pages with scribbled ink by magneticwave (Obi-Wan/Padmé, one-shot, 9.8k words) If I haven't talked about this fic already on here (and I might have?) then I have committed a crime. It's another Obi-Wan/Padmé fic, which is a ship I've never had a problem with but don't normally seek out, but the ones on this list are so, so good. This fic is told entirely through comm messages, and it's such a brilliant way to tell this story. I cheered the whole way through.

having loved a little while by @giggles-and-freckles (Padmé/Anakin, 1.5k words, Padmé & Ahsoka, Ahsoka & Anakin) Okay genuinely I had a hard time deciding between the four(?) fics @giggles-and-freckles wrote for the Chaos Company Exchange because they all brought me such joy, but this one stands out. Padmé is teaching Ahsoka how to cook in her apartment and they're having a really lovely moment when Anakin bursts in and then has to try and explain his unexpected presence to Ahsoka. This story had me going "awww!" in the beginning and then dying of laughter by the end. So much fun, seriously. I laughed out loud multiple times.

If you like any of these fics, please consider reblogging so they can get more exposure! And if you noticed I missed someone's Tumblr account, or linked the wrong one, please let me know!

(TW: MENTIONS OF ASSAULT)

Okay, let me breath for a second bc this chapter was a ROLLER COASTER.

I'll start with the easiest thing to digest, the car scene with Tae and Namjoon, GODDAMN, tae is completely whipped and really has a hard time not giving Bunny what she wants (thank god bc I hate edging sm, pls just get to it lmao) and Namjoon living his housewife fantasies at the fullest, GOOD FOR HIM🗣️, the smut was surprisingly enough the lightest aspect of this chapter but it wasn't overshadowed or unnecessary at all, it really balanced the chapter out specially being in the middle of it (after finding out some big things but not before the confrontation at the end of this chapter), that was a great thing to do, you're amazing!

Second of all, I really pride myself onto catching what twist will happen in a story that I'm invested, but let me tell you something, I seriously did NOT see the guys being behind bunny moving in with them, Jungkook surprised me with being involved on her assault and knowing her for over a year, but the rest? Holy shit, I really wasn't expecting it at all, I'm so amazed with being hit by a twist like that, it was great!, and Jin knowing (AND BEING FRIENDS) with Bunny's assaulter? I was so mad like this can't be happening to her, but I trust that Jungkook is going to help see things clearly for everyone (He was such in a protective mood on this chapter I kinda fell in love a little lmao) for me he was the true star of this chapter, even if he's not the best with emotions or affection, he handled everything really good and was bunny's support throughout the entire chapter and it was sweet, we love a possessive, intimidating af but a softie on the inside man in this household ☺️💕

Jungyoon's audacity keeps surprising me to this day, smh should've just let Jungkook go Maddy Perez on his ass, but I'm so happy that bunny stood up for herself! My bb is growing and I can't be more excited about it, she's finally voicing out what she wants and I feel like a proud mother lol, I honestly thought I would be scared of the boys now but it's been non threatening yandere so far so we love to see it hehe

This chapter was amazing! Thank you sm for the double update, can't wait to see what happens after that dinner, love you💕💕💕

That chapter rlly gave no one a chance to breathe rip lol

Also thank you!!! I was so worried the car scene would be awkward just thrown in there so I'm glad its purpose came across and yess!!! Taehyung and Namjoon absolutely worship her and now they can openly admit how obsessed they are? Heaven for them tbh

Also eeeee I've never done a twist rlly let a longe a several in one chapter, so I'm so glad they are sticking the landing lmaoooo. Also yeah Jin just bringing over Mr. Woo was such a gut punch and when he finds out... OOF.

Omg yes Jungkook ate this chapter. He adores Bunny and 100% puts her before his urge to go insane on people. LMAO NOT MADDY PEREZ but no def if Bunny gave him the green light Jungyoon would go down like a sack of potatoes. But yes Bunny is finding her voice and ugh I love it!!!!

Also yeah the boys are scary but never to their darling and it's such a blast to write! Thank you for gushing about this chapter with me bb ily!!!

[khaleesiofalicante]

hello hi 🌸🌻

I clearly didn’t make it through without emotional damage after reading through the last few chapters gosh. But I’m recovering now ksnjknjbhf

timeline 1 malec is so soft. They are both so fucking gone for each other. Good to know that Magnus has been a sad emo child since day one. 

Alec calling Ragnor for Magnus I??? if my partner doesn’t pay an entire trip just to get my best friend to surprise me then I don’t want them. I’d straight up return them.

That entire chapter with Jace. 

“I’m not letting Alec die of a heart attack” BYE

Magnus getting a divorce for his safety/sanity- it makes a lot of sense and whoever is giving shit to Magnus will have to go through me-

Magnus making fun of Ben’s name lmfao bb pls, you’re not fooling anyone. 

Is this Ben person fishy??? What is up with him?! He seems fishy I’d say. I have trust issues with guys named Ben or like guys in general who aren’t LBs.

“I miss my happiness’ BITCH do not make me smack your head like desis do with their remotes. Go fuxking get it.

David and Max are a goddamn mess someone send help-

Rosewood is so soft I love them. Rafael writing a letter for her. He’s baby. He’s also an idiot. 

“He can’t turn off being Rafael” OKAY THATS IT IM ADOPTING RAFAEL. 

oof Robert got shot. Okay I kinda get why alec would feel safer with a gun but Magnus is also right. But Magnus is also an idiot who needs to explain shit. The ultimatum thing was kinda shitty. okay but alec hiding it? They are such a mess *sighs*

Is someone following Alec or smth?? are these bitches in danger on top of everything else??

“It makes me wish I was dead instead” EMOTIONAL FCKN DAMAGE.

Magnus wrote fanfiction skwbqiwnwn screaming 

Max telling Alec to not bring the election thing>> cannot believe that Alec and Max have the best communication in this fic yet lmao (minus the David secret ofc lmao). This also reminded me of that convo in lbaf where max tells Alec how they sometimes feel pressure because of the LB name. 

David telling Max about the books he like. screaming crying throwing up

Okay magnus missing the election to help Shinyun was nskwkqw but this one time I cancelled on all my friends on a trip last minute because my best friend had some shit going on and flew across the country to meet her so ehm I get it kinda. Also because im a MAGNUS APOLOGIST first and human being second. 

PHEW!!!!!!!!! It was a roller coaster. These bitches are a fuxking mess. Malec should’ve adopted that daughter then atleast one of them would have brain cells. 

There’s this show called This Is Us. TLND reminds me a lot of it. Even the storytelling pattern. It’s a compliment btw since it’s my fav show. I think you would like it (if you haven't watched it already) since you’re into family dynamics and all. It’s just extremely long skskkssksk and takes months to finish. 

okay I’m gonna go and read some fluff now bye ily take care. 

me after reading 8 chapters together

BABE OMG. I LOVE THIS IS US. A FAVE SHOW DJEJWJKWKW.

(I stopped watching after 3 because it got weird but I need to catch up tbh)

Now that I realize Randall does give some Rafe vibes and Kevin being Max 😶‍🌫️

Here is a Max and Rafe tiktok for you. The first is Max and the other is Rafe 😎

[rapha-reads]

Finally watching the "season premiere of the last season of Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural"!

I MISSED THE GHOULBOYS SO MUCH

The boys are back!

(yes, yes, there's Watcher, but you know it's not the same thing)

Oof, things go wild right off the bat!

Ryan losing it in the very first room and then Shane proposing to kiss ghosts. What the... Oh, this is going to be full madness!

"You're in contract with Shane Madej now" - so Shane is just going full demon this season, huh. Nice.

I was about to comment on the very interesting question of "are the ghosts the ghosts, or are we the ghosts of the ghosts?" but then Ryan went "come sit on Papa's lap" and now my brain has logged off.

NOT THE FUCKING SPIRIT BOX AGAIN. My eaaaaars.

Me, staring at the mannequin in the background every time we cut to the office : don't move don't move don't move do not move.

So that's where we are now : assprints on chairs through thermal cameras. Okay. You know, it's kinda awesome that the boys still manage to surprise me after all this time.

Shane : "we are the greatest ghost hunters that ever were"

Five seconds later : *impersonating cats and dogs on stairs while wearing cat ears*

Yeaaah, that's my favorite show, you know. Just so many chills.

Uuuuh, is it me or was there a silhouette in the front door for a fraction of a second? Okay I'm getting scared now.

"Now whatever is out there is in here" DON'T REMIND ME

Me : *getting scared because so many things are happening in this house*

The boys : *laughing their asses off because bees*

Emotional roller-coaster, man.

Respectfully, the Warrens can go f*ck themselves.

Roger throwing the Warrens out : GOOD BOY. The Warrens are the biggest charlatans ever. Gotta respect the talent at messing up with people so masterfully, tho.

NO, NOT A BROKEN NECK LADY, NO NO NO, I STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED FROM HILL HOUSE. DON'T. NO. Oh, no, I hate it. I hate it. Torch that house. Torch that freaking house now.

Shane having fun while Ryan goes full shut down mode will never not be hilarious.

"Shane slept soundly through the night" "Ryan did not sleep at all" NO KIDDING 😂😂😂

Oooooh, the little end melody, I love it so much! I missed it!

I wouldn't say the Shaniacs definitely won the game this time. There were some moments that really creeped me out.

Aaaaah, such a good episode! A strong start for a strong (I hope) last season! Ready to get even more spooked.
