#whew this has been in my inbox for months I'm SORRY

[almightyellie]

i have one concept that i keep on coming back too and it’s literally... gwilym being a single father and loving his daughter so much and when he goes into parents evening he realises that her teacher is GORGEOUS and basically he starts dating his daughters teacher ok i have many more gwil prompts for another day

okay i’ve thought about this.....plenty. im obsessed with this concept.

you had heard about gwilym lee endlessly from callie’s old teacher. “gorgeous,” she’d always swoon. “but it’s hard to see with how overbearing he is.” you had heard plenty from tess about gwil, how he couldn’t leave a thing alone and how, more often than not, any time spent volunteering in the classroom was really more time spent butting heads with one another, but how he refused to not come. more time with his daughter, he always excused.

you were surprised, then, when at the end of the school day, callie was the only one left in the classroom, waiting for her dad. she smiles at you as you crouch in front of her, taking both of her small hands in yours. “y’want me to call your dad, bug?”

“no, he should be coming. he never forgets.”

and you had heard from tess that no, he didn’t. however, he had spent the whole year before volunteering for tess’s classroom, and you—two months into the school year—had yet to meet him. you feared the tide was turning, but you just smile and nod, her hands still in yours when the door bust open.

you know immediately that it’s him, bright blue eyes that perfectly mirror callie’s, and he rushes to his girl, who you release when she squeals for him. dropping to his knees, he cups her face, taking her in as he rambles. “oh, i’m so sorry, beautiful. i got caught up at a meeting, i was supposed to be here early.”

“s’okay, dad,” she insists, tiny nose wrinkling as she grinned. you think her nose is the only thing she didn’t get from him; there was no doubt she was his.

he glances up at you, mouth already open, but no words come out as you smile kindly at him. “i…”

you can sense that he’s at a loss for words, something obviously plaguing his thoughts, so you just reach out a hand. “hi, mr. lee. y/n, pleased to finally meet you.”

he takes your hand, standing to his full height. he was even more gorgeous up close, and it was starting to look like a good thing that he hadn’t spent much time in the classroom, because you weren’t sure that you would get anything done around him. “gwil, please. pleasure.”

“i’ve heard quite a bit about you,” you nod, hands smoothing down your thighs.

he winces. “all from cal, i hope.”

chuckling, you shrugged. with pinched fingers, you smile, “a little from tess.”

he groans and callie grins up at him, obviously pleased with your laughter. “ah, tess. we had a bit of a rough start. hope she hasn’t completely ruined me for you.”

you shrug, a smile playing at your lips. “i guess you’ll just have to do a bit of image rehab around here.”

he grins at that.

gwilym becomes almost a permanent fixture in your classroom, always running errands for you and smiling as he tacked things on the board or glancing surreptitiously up at you as he grades papers. he can’t believe you’re so good at handling all of them all at once. he feels like callie is enough, no matter how well-behaved she may be, but you handle twenty-five seven-year-olds like it’s nothing, with no effort but sweet gentle smiles and only half-menacing looks. he’s been completely enamored with you since the first second he saw your face, but the more time he spends around you, watching you handle the class, the more he adores you.

he’s no better than you, a supposedly grown woman who stumbles over her words when she knows he’s watching her, and who gives him extra work just to keep him around, and is too shy to do anything more than flirt with him.

one day, a month of you and gwilym staring at one another all day long, two or three days a week, both of you and callie are staying after school. you’re trying to finish emails to parents as quickly as possible, gwil is standing tall in the back of the room, setting up a new bulletin board for you, and callie is sitting beside you at your desk, working on some homework, only looking up to ask you questions every few minutes.

“hey, y/n, how do you want this pinned?” gwil asks. you glance away from your computer, and it’ll be easier for both of you if you to just do it yourself than try to direct him from across the room, so you pat callie’s shoulder and stand from your chair.

crossing the room, you smooth your hands over your skirt, bare feet padding over thin carpet, and you hold out your hands, taking the small, laminated banner from him and picking the stapler up from the desk he’s set it on. sliding the banner across the navy blue paper, you smile at the contrast, turning back to gwil for only a second before you began to staple it. “just like this, is fine,” you answer easily, putting in the final staple before you take a moment to admire it. in an instant, large hands grip your waist and spin you around, pressing your body against his as you squeal in surprise. “oh. hi.”

he smiles, shaking his head. “god, you’re so cute.” he shakes his head. you can feel your cheeks warm as you flatten your hands on his chest, smoothing over his button-down as he sighs in content. “can i kiss you?”

“of course,” you grinned, leaning in to kiss him.

needless to say, gwilym sticks around your classroom, even after callie goes into second grade.

Hi

Love your writing

Can you please write a fluff imagine about actress!reader x harrison osterfield where the reader is a marvel actress and harrison plays the role of Batman and they are doing an interview together after making their relationship public (like Graham Norton or something)

[cleaning out my inbox. please don’t send more!]

i decided to make this an actors on actors thingy bc interview fics are so hard skdfjhskjdhf hope you enjoy!

***

In hindsight, it seems like a normal day. You sit on your usual spot on the couch opposite Harrison in your shared living room. Both of you are just slightly more dressed up, makeup flawless and hair done. Camera and ring lights set up, the producer on video call.

“Y/N,” he nods at you, smiling almost dubiously.

“Harrison.” you smile back at him. “How have you been?”

“I’m good, how are you?” he couldn’t fight back the giggles anymore.

And when he laughs, so do you. It’s just inevitable. “I feel like we need to address this setup. I know it’s called Actors on Actors At Home, and it’s normally done over a video call. But when you live in the same home...”

“There was a lot of discussion about whether we should video call each other from different rooms, which was pointless, or do this and kind of ruin the aesthetics of this whole series, and... here we are,” Harrison shrugs.

“Ruining the aesthetics it is. Sorry, everyone.” you smile towards the camera.

“I’ve been told this is very exciting for a lot of people. Because you play Jessica Drew-- aka Spider-Woman in the Marvel Universe, and I play Jim Gordon’s Batman in the DC Universe.”

You can see him a bit stiff and nervous, maybe because you've kept things very private up until a few months ago. It’s your first interview together and you’re interviewing each other. But you caught that immediately, and you turn your public persona to 11.

“I know! It’s the most ambitious comic book crossover so far,” you dramatically gush. “Batman and Spider-Woman fighting over the laundry and the dishwasher. Very exciting affair.”

“Exactly,” he chuckles. “But it is quite funny, though, because people just assume that we know everything about each other's projects--"

"We do, but that's beside the point."

He makes a face. "No, we don't! You never tell me shit."

"Yes, I do. Eventually. After a lot of pestering from you," you roll your eyes in feigned annoyance.

"I mean, it's only fair. Because I'm the type of person who'd come home and just went like, 'So this happened!' and just... word-vomited all the spoilers."

"You needed a friend. So you don't feel too bad about yourself. Unbelievable." you scoff, followed by a bright smile. "Obviously, it has been quite interesting to see you work throughout Batman: Superheavy. But, like, we also don't sit around and talk about our process. So... tell me what it's like to play the Caped Crusader."

With this question, he perks up and answers the question as if he hadn’t done the exact same thing 20 times over throughout the press junkets. There’s something different about it when the other person genuinely wants to hear what he has to say. Not to get a soundbite or an article headline.

As the conversation goes, you find yourself settling into a more comfortable position. You fold your leg underneath the other and find Harrison mirroring you a mere minute later. Knees practically rubbing against each other. It’s starting the feel less like an interview, and more like any other chat after a day’s work.

“What’s been the most challenging thing to portray Jessica Drew?” he asks, per the producer’s brief.

"Whew," you huff, considering your answer ahead. "She's got quite an angsty backstory, so there's that... emotional burden that I need to be careful with. But I'm really grateful to have the support system that I do-- from the people I worked with in this project, to the people outside of it. My family, friends... my therapist!"

He smiles understandingly, but places a comforting hand on your arm.

"Spider-Woman and Batman were filmed back-to-back, basically, so when I was working on this, you were... working out and doing all your homework. And then, when you started on Batman, it was my time to kick back and relax. So in a way, it's nice that, you know, things aren't always heavy for both of us at the same time."

"Mm-hm. Keeps you grounded, innit?" he nods in agreement. "It's easy to get carried away in the character. And to have someone there to be like, 'I hear you. Do what you gotta do to shake it off. And when you do shake it off, please take out the trash.'"

The two of you promptly burst out in laughter, fully knowing that's a real thing you have said to him --more than once.

"It's very humbling," he confirms.

"What about you, H? What's your biggest challenge?"

His blue eyes gaze into the distance for a moment. "I'm gonna have to say the mustache. The legendary Jim Gordon mustache."

"Which one's harder, growing it out or shaving it off when Jim becomes the Batman?"

"Honestly? It's taking all your roasts. All the thinly veiled insults. Nearly broke me." he wipes an imaginary tear as you keel over in harder laughter.

The two of you go back and forth from serious answers to lighthearted anecdotes, as you do on most of your lengthy conversations, letting the rest of the interview fly by. The nerves of opening up your relationship to the world has dissipated, and now you're more sure of facing the public reaction.

Whatever the reaction may be.

When it does come out, you and Harrison turn out to have a lot of fun reading the headlines and comments your agent sent you.

'Y/N Y/L/N and Harrison Osterfield on Playing Superheroes, Keeping Each Other Grounded, and Household Chores'

'wow they deadass just sat on their couch with their fuzzy socks and just hung out. its so nice and sweet but i also feel like im intruding'

'imagine playing fuckin BATMAN and coming home to spider-woman telling you to take out the trash nbd'

'batman and spider-woman? together??? like fr??? HWAT?????'

HI HI this is Fandom Obsessions 💖 💖 💖 I'm here for the WIP Challenge game!! I'd love to know more about:

Where Were You?

Hotel Room

Six Months to Live

🥰

Hello, @fandomobsessions016 !!! It's so lovely to see you in my inbox!

Where Were You?

I concocted the idea for this story back in November (yikes) shortly after having fallen head over heals in love with SessSan and meeting @livinginthefifthdimension under the alias @sess-san. XD I'm still so embarrassed about that!

I have about 80% of the story written, but then AJ convinced me to turn it into a multi-chapter fic so I've been bouncing back and forth between finishing it/publishing it and turning it into one of the chapters of the SessSan multi-chapter fic I'm outlining at the moment.

Gosh, I'm rambling. Sorry!!! The idea for this fic was born out of the headcanon that Sango would visit Kohaku, who is under Sesshomaru's guardianship, every 10 days. Sango has never missed a visit before until one day she doesn't make it. Sesshomaru actually becomes concerned and shows up at Kaede's village to check on her and all hell breaks loose in the village when he decides to show up.

2. Hotel Room

@anisaanisa beat you to this one, but not to worry! I have included my response to her here:

Oh, man! *fans herself*

Why must I get these ideas for smut when I'm terrible at writing smut?!?

It's supposed to be a SessSan PWP fic. Sango broke up with Sesshomaru weeks ago because she's afraid of commitment. Somehow they end up in adjacent hotel rooms (I have no idea how yet), and in the middle of the night she can't take being apart from him anymore so she shows up at his door and things ensue. Whew! Spicy!!!

3. Six Months to Live

I'm so excited you asked about this one!!!

I literally got the idea for this one just a few days ago while I was in the shower, where I get all of my ideas XD. The premise is that Inuyasha is diagnosed with a terminal illness and only has 6 months left to live. His doctors suggest he receive treatment right away, but he flat out refuses and decides instead to make a bucket list and fulfill all of the items on the list before he dies.

Although he refuses medical treatment, he accepts to see a therapist to help him accept his illness and the reality that he doesn't have much longer to live. His therapist's receptionist happens to be Kagome. Somehow Kagome gets involved with helping him fulfill the items on his bucket list. My brother said it sounded very similar to a movie called The Bucket List, but I've never seen it in my life, I swear!

Thank you so, so much for your interest in my WIPs! I really apprecite it! <3 <3 <3

My list of WIPs for the ask game is here in case anyone is still interested!
