The Ultimate Lestappen Fic Masterlist ™
Hello all. This list has about 70+ fics within it. That’s just under 1,000,000 words solely dedicated to the Carbonara Leclerc-Verstappens. (yes i counted) I’ve tried to maintain my organization throughout, but if something looks a little janky or feels out of place, let me know. (Lord knows I never made this list thinking I would make it public but alas, here we are) The key is simple:
> (Title) +/= (Multichaptered/One-Shot)
(Summary)
!!! (Link)
• (Tags - please note these are just the tags I saw relevant to myself, double check the fics themselves for any other tags you might deem relevant!) *(Word count)
Now I’ve put a ♥️ next to all of my personal favorites. Remember, this is a masterlist and a fic rec if that’s what you’re looking for. I will never read (or record) any fic that is not up to my personal golden standard; so everything you see below has been read and vetted by yours truly 💋 I will also tag my favorite authors at the bottom of this post so you can go view their pages and send them some love :^) Note: All of these works are on Ao3. There is only one WIP in this list and it is stated with the fic. Now go crazy you animals ;))
(p.s. some of the fic descriptions are quite long, but with respect to the authors wishes I feel that it would be a dishonesty to chop them off though so you’ll have to deal with it) Here we go!!!!!!!! (under the Read More)
> Home (Is Wherever I’m With You) + ♥️

Max ran, like his husbands life depended on it.

• Angst, Husbands, Crash *1.5k
> Monaco Malaise = (Series)

• Smut, Slight Angst, Slight Fluff *8k
> Azerbaijan Abnegation = (End of Series)
After Monaco, Max thought he’d made up his mind about Charles, and their little arrangement.
They’re in Azerbaijan and Charles is everywhere: in his head, in his messages, in his hotel room…
Will Max be able to hold onto his resolve, or will his attempts at self-denial only prolong the inevitable?
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/46781737/chapters/117829006#workskin
• Angst, Smut *16.9k

He wakes up all weird on Monday. Charles can feel it the moment he opens his eyes. It’s like an odd weight on his chest that evolves into something a lot more achy and sharp emanating down his torso as he starts crawling out of bed.

!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/42042690/chapters/105559215#workskin
• Angst, Teenagers, Falling in Love *12.3k
> Got Your Tongue =
It’s the middle of the night, there’s a stray cat in Charles’ bedroom, and only one person he can think of to help him. The rest is just a misunderstanding.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/46854709?view_adult=true#main
• Fluff *2.9k
> Do You Want Me (Dead)? =
When Charles accidentally comes out to Max it shouldn’t really change anything. It doesn’t change anything.

• Smut, Fluff, Bottom!Max *4.5k
> Silly Me (For Falling in Love With You) = ♥️
“We’re not asking you to ‘woo’ him,” Christian says, looking pained at having to say the word ‘woo’, “We just need others to think you’ve wooed him.”
“I’m not following,” Max says, frowning.
“A PR relationship,” Poppy explains. “You pretend to date, making the public think you’re all happy and in love. Then you reap the benefits of being in a relationship without actually having to put in the effort or work.”
“Absolutely not,” Max says, crossing his arms over his chest. “That’s depressing, I’m not doing that.”
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/44464324#main
• Fluff, Angst, Fake Relationship, Non-F1!Charles *18.3k
> Glitch + ♥️
Max hums. “Well, at least that means I won’t bump into Charles Leclerc again.”
“Bummer, really,” Daniel says, moving back to his own seat and drinking the little bit of coffee that was still in the cup. “Could’ve been the start of a great love story.”
Lando snorts. “Kids, it all started when I told your father, who had won two World Driver Championships at that point, that he sucked at driving.”
Max sticks his middle finger up at them, and pulls his noise canceling headphones back over his ears. Only two hours left to go, he thinks, wistfully, and goes back to work.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/46316224/chapters/116609527
• Angst, Fluff, Funny, Programmer!Max *26.6k
> Heart On Your Sleeve =
The thing about having a racing helmet that constantly displays your emotions for the whole world to see, is that you kind of get used to it after a while. These days Charles almost forgets it’s even a thing.
Almost.
But then he goes and falls in love.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45717973#main
• Pining, Magical Realism *4.8k
> You Can Hear It In the Silence =
Or, the five times Max and Charles accidentally fall asleep together, and the one time they do it on purpose.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/43882683#main
• Pining, Sleep trope, Fluff *7.4k
> You’ll be Alright = ♥️
Charles is not an idiot. He knows there’s a part of him that has been at least a little bit in love with Max for as long as they’ve known each other. But he’s always been able to shove it down. Burying it under rivalries and competitiveness until it was getting hard to differentiate between love and hate. And that had worked, for a really long time.
And then Max had to go and barge into his life and be really fucking cute with his baby.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45348790#main
• Kidfic, Fluff, Slight Angst, Max is great with kids, Falling in Love *19.2k
> Maximum Formula =
“Welcome back to another episode of Maximum Formula, I’m your host, Emilian, and this is the first episode for the F1 2022 season. There will be plenty to talk about, but first I’d like to introduce our first guest of the season: Charles Leclerc. Welcome to the show, Charles.”
Or, Charles tries to become a world champion with Ferrari.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45691483#main
• Angst, Falling in Love, Podcast!Max, Identity Hiding *20.4k
> Violent Delights +
Max can’t smell any of his usual aggression beneath the unusual spatter of Omega, sweet yet violent, and it makes his head spin.
“Max,” is all Charles says, voice breathless. He looks over his shoulder, quick, hasty, looks back. His eyes are wider, if possible. “We have— we have fucked up, I think.”
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/41445333#main
• A/B/O, Alpha!Max, Alpha!Charles turns into Omega!Charles *15.5k
> Petrol =
Max scoffs. He steps closer, smile a little real. It lets Charles see the tiny freckle on his lip, dark and undying, always zoomed in on when his face is in HD. Chuckling, Max scratches at his stubble. “I didn’t know you liked Red Bull.”
Automatically, Charles corrects, “I hate it.” It says too much.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/41359482#main
• Smut, Angst, Denial, Bottom!Max *4.2k
> It All Reminds Me of You =
Pierre turns, and with him, the object of his distasteful frown. “Why do you have a Red Bull cap in your apartment?”
Charles tenses. He looks between Pierre and the cap, still held tepid between two fingers, dark blue and flat-brimmed and garishly branded with a sick sense of obvious. It feels wrong, just looking at it. There’s a big red 1 emblazoned on the front.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/40279869#main
• Angst, Smut, Secret Relationship, Switch!Max, Switch!Charles *3k
> Proximity =
These kinds of smiles on Max are reserved for other people. Like Daniel, like Lando, like those Dutch guys that come around sometimes and he likes to yell with.
Not Charles.
It’s probably the fourth time Max is acting noticeably strange around him that he notices the freckle on his lip.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/40737591#main
• Angst, Smut *6.7k
> Want It Good Want It All =
When Max puts the disc into the cartridge of his PS4 he isn't sure what to expect.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/43761192#main
• Sex tape, Masturbation *2.1k
> Algorithm + ♥️
Tired of all the internal team conflicts, the F1 powers-that-be have developed a simulation-based compatibility test for drivers and their teammates.
or
Five times Max doesn’t find the right partner and one time he does.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/29561109/chapters/72650025#workskin
• Magical Realism, Compatibility Simulations, Fluff, Slight Angst, Some Maxiel in the beginning *16.9k
> In the Dark You Can’t See Shiny Cars +
In the summer of 2022, the quiet neighbourhood of Les Amants in Monaco becomes the epicentre of a strange weather phenomenon.
or
A dark cloud hangs over Charles’ head—unfortunately not just a metaphorical one. Max sets out to investigate.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/41147001/chapters/103144245
• Magical Realism, Charles accidentally controls the weather, Fluff, Slight Angst *14.5k
> Panem et Circenses =
Panem et circenses, the Romans called it. Bread and circus to appease the people.
The bread is always in short supply these days, ever since the wheat fields burned down. So that just leaves-
“The brave new world of Formula One,” Crofty’s voice comes out distorted from the circuit speakers. “Ten teams. Twenty cars. An auspicious new technical programme that combines the top edge AI technology with the most skilled drivers to deliver the best spectacle ever seen.”
-
In a dystopian near-future, Charles and Max drive for survival.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/40704441#main
• Dystopian future, Sentient F1 cars, oppressive Regime, Hope, Angst, Falling in Love *13.2k
> Every Other Sunday + ♥️
The grainy pictures are pieced together like a crude comic strip, sketching a poorly thought-out narrative arc that somehow made it onto the front page of every sleazy newspaper.
EXPOSED!: The secret gay double-life of F1 driver Max Verstappen
-
Max navigates the aftermath of being outed in the press, and Charles is always there.

• Slight Angst, Fluff, Smut, Max has been outed, Charles does some soul searching, Motorhome club, F1 family antics *34.5k
> Soak Up the Sun =
“What do you think?” Charles asks, leaning back into the seat as he turns the laptop so Max can see the options.
“I think—” Max starts, “—that this can wait until after FP1.”
Charles’s lips curl downwards, and Max wants to kiss the look off his face. “There’s still like an hour until it starts. There’s no one even looking for me yet.”
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Lestappen_Summer_Exchange_2022/works/40998603#main
• Fluff, Non-Linear timeline, Getting together *6.8k
> Like a Prayer =
It was sinful to have such thoughts but then Charles had never been one to shy away from sinful desires. Stood at the alter the priest looked glowing, his strong cheekbones and jawline illuminated by a wash of colour. Charles’ gaze followed the beams of light back to the stained glass, he tried not to think too long about the image of Christ etched on to the window. This was a sacred place, but there could be nothing more deserving of veneration than the God who had so kindly sculpted the body of Father Verstappen.
Or
Charles is an F1 driver and Max is a sexy priest.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Formula_One_Kinkmeme_Round_One/works/44838136#main
• Smut, Religion, Priest!Max *3.2k
> We Go Way Back =
They were the same in the end. Yes, Max was an alpha, and Charles was an omega, but that didn’t matter. If you took racing from either of them, there wouldn’t be anything left.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/43936200?view_adult=true#main
• A/B/O, Alpha!Max, Omega!Charles, Smut, Fluff *13.8k

A hotel mix-up forces Max and Charles to share a room. There is only one bed.

Max has an oral fixation, Charles is happy to oblige. This is a story of their developing relationship as told through the things Max likes to put in his mouth!
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Formula_One_Kinkmeme_Round_One/works/44205019#main
• Oral fixation kink, Smut, Fluff *2.7k
> FIA Approved Stress Relief =
It’s the strangest briefing Charles has ever been a part of. Ever. Which is saying something because this time last year he was sat wide eyed as the Fia tried to bring in mandatory checks for Fia approved underwear and intimate piercings. A few team principles had helpfully offered their services and it had ended in a rather heated debate over whether that fell under their job description.
It didn’t compare to this though.
As director of the GPDA it’s been left to George to run through the basics of the brand new Fia approved sex doll. Charles was sure he had misheard but no, as it turns out, the Fia really have lost their minds.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Formula_One_Kinkmeme_Round_One/works/44059752?view_adult=true#main
• Sex Doll, Smut, Pining, Voyeurism *2.3k

“What are you doing?” Charles asked, his voice cracking.
Max blinked at him once before he smirked and said, “Well... I was going to kiss you.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to.”
“Why?” Charles repeated, feeling like his legs were going to give out.
“Is that not a good enough reason?” Max asked.
OR: The childhood best friends to lovers fairy-tale-soulmates fic that nobody asked for. Charles has been in love with Max since he was seven years old.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/46190509/chapters/116284681
• Fluff, Smut, Best friends to lovers, Slight Angst *76.8k
> Viva la Miami =
Max raced all over the world and was used to different climates. But there was something about Miami’s sticky, muggy, make-your-phone-screen-fog-up kind of scorching heat that made him feel fucking crazy.
It made him want to strip naked and jump in the bright blue water surrounding his hotel.
It made him want to fuck.
OR: Max and Charles hook up for the first time, and it's very different than what Max had pictured.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/46963513#main
• Smut, PWP, Top!Charles *8.2k
> I’ll Be Right Beside You = ♥️
Max stared at Charles’ closed eyes and how they twitched in his sleep. Objectively, Max knew that Charles was probably the most beautiful man he had ever seen. But... this was Charles.
Charles Leclerc.
Big, cry-baby Charles.
Sauber #2 driver Charles.
When did he decide that Charles The Driver would become Charles The Boyfriend?
He wishes he could remember.
OR: The self-indulgent Amnesia AU that nobody asked for. This is my love story to Charles Leclerc, thank you for coming along. Warning: this fic may break you.

!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/45079192?view_adult=true#main
• Smut, Fluff, Falling in Love *53k
> And That’s How I Foksmashed Dad’s Championship Trophy =
All of that would have been forgivable if not for the Green-Eyed Monster’s complete disregard for the pre-contracted occupation rights of Max’s lap. Such rights had long been pre-determined and belonged to Sassy (and occasionally to Jimmy, she admitted begrudgingly). However, no amount of quiet hisses and vicious glares seemed to penetrate the creature’s thick skull, and he would greedily occupy Max’s thigh for more than 95% of any given afternoon. Sometimes with his head, sometimes with his feet, and a few times he even straddled his entire body over Max; the latter could not have been comfortable for Max, as the Green-Eyed Monster was enormously overweight compared to Sassy.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/43833321#main
• Fluff, POV!Sassy and Jimmy, Funny *6.5k
> Set My Midnight Sorrow Free =
He doesn’t blame Max, not really.
If he could have Charles for one night, he would never let him go either.
Maybe he isn’t the one who is losing; Max is also playing a losing game.
You can’t open yourself to Charles and try to exist in his charmed life without becoming irrevocably enamoured.
When Max let Charles walk into his motorhome, when he let Charles slip into his existence, Max didn’t know it then but the battle was already lost.
!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/31552340#main
• Angst, POV!Pierre, Falling in Love, Jealousy/Pining *13.4k
> All of You, All of Me (Intertwined) =
Or, two future teammates get high, get on Mattia Binotto's wrong side through an inadvisable escapade involving fairy lights, get on a plane, and get a stuffed armadillo named Chax. In that order.

• Fluff, Humor, Friends *6.3k
> we're fallin' like the stars, we're fallin' in love = ♥️
"So, do we need a signal for when things are going downhill and you need me to save you?" He asks, a glimmer in his eyes that seems so unfamiliar yet familiar that Max feels it like a sucker punch to the stomach.
"Just have the vodka waiting." Max laughs, flicking his gaze down to the gentle grip that Charles has his wrist in before he releases and Max turns around with pink cheeks and crosses the restaurant to join up with his date once again.
(Lando sets Max up on disastrous blind dates that end up with Max falling for the bartender who was the real set up all along.)

> Pick Apart the Pieces of Your Heart =
"I reckon-" George says in-between scenes, "- that Charles is Gatsby."
Lando tilts his head back to clock Max's reaction but it's nothing except confusion etched on his face as he scrunches his nose up trying to figure out what George means,
George holds his hand up and continues to explain, "Gatsby threw all these big parties in the hope that Daisy would go to one of them, right? Charles throws a party every other day and I think it's because he wants you to go." He says to Max
alternatively, Charles is Max's nightmare neighbour until he's something much more than that.

> We’re Making Gold Dust = (Series)
They’re carefully walking, skipping and hauling themselves across any gaps. The morning air feels crisp and fills Charles’ lungs until it hurts, but god, it hurts in the best way that it’s ever hurt him before. He takes pictures, videos but tries to remember the feeling most of all.
It feels like home.
The best people, the best places, the height, the element of danger, it’s everything that Charles hadn’t imagined his life to be five years ago but maybe it’s right after all.
alternatively, a fascination discovered at fifteen leads to love, trust and healing whilst breaking the rules and climbing things that aren't supposed to be climbed.

In the end, it does turn out that your soulmate can be the person you least expect and neither of them don’t think it could have been anybody else.

Charles laughed again, his cheeks bright red.
“Could I... sit on your cock for a little bit?”

“Charles,” Max said, his tone gentle.
Charles didn’t move his hands away from his face.

Charles took a deep breath and finally let his hands fall.
Max looked at him for a long moment, their eyes locked together before he asked, “Would my cock help?”

“Pretty boy,” Max mused, brushing Charles’ hair out of his eyes.
“Shut up,” Charles huffed, flushing bright red. It only made Max smile harder.
“You’re even prettier when you tell me to shut up.”
“Shut the hell up, Max,” Charles squeaked.

Max lets out an impatient sigh and looks at Lando as he washes the shot glass before putting it back. “Well who is it?”
Lando rolls his eyes. “You’re no fun.”
“I’m delightful, now come on,” Max presses, trying not to show he’s getting curious. “Who is this mystery person?”
“Charles Leclerc!” Lando says with a bright smile, he’s almost jumping up and down with excitement. “He’s chartering the yacht for the week!”
“Charles Leclerc?” Max repeats, raising an eyebrow. “The Charles Leclerc, F1 driver for Ferrari, is here?”
Or
Max works on a super yacht during the summer to make some money to invest in his sim racing career and Charles happens to charter it for the week.

When Max looks up he stares into pretty green eyes behind black rimmed glasses. His hand is still blindly feeling around to find the books—his brain lagging—as he stares at the guy from last night. He straightens up and Max follows, staring dumbly as he holds out the books for Max to take.
“Thanks,” Max says, feeling like an idiot as he takes the books, their fingers brushing for a split second. This was not how he wanted to meet again. “Again, I’m so sorry.”
The guy smiles and Max thinks he might just die a little when he notices he has dimples. Of course he has dimples.

“It doesn’t have to be a big deal or anything, right? It can be just about sex, nothing else.” Charles steps forward, into Max’s space. Reaches out a hand, lets it run over Max’s cheek, leans a little closer. “Just sex,” he whispers, in the ever diminishing space between them as Max leans into his touch.
“Fuck,” Max whispers, screwing his eyes shut, breathing deeply through his mouth. “I shouldn’t, I really shouldn’t-“
Charles cuts him off by lurching forward and pressing a kiss to Max’s mouth, quick and fleeting, but then Max groans, grabs Charles’s waist, pulls him closer, kisses him hard. Charles melts into it immediately, overwhelmed by Max’s scent, by his hands on Charles’s waist, his mouth on Charles’s.
It’s like something clicks into place, when they kiss.

And then Charles kisses him, and it’s all over.

So when we’re here, I’m supposed to have dinner with Charlie and his mum at least once a wee—ow! Hey!” Charles had elbowed Max, causing the latter the pout while another pout was already on Charles’s face.
“I didn’t know Sophie and Pascale were friends either,” Sebastian was having the time of his life and Max being oblivious about Charles’s whole situation was the icing on the proverbial cake.

So fleeting. Moments memorialized on the 101 northbound, flying out of their open windows and away from his greedy fingers.

Standing on the third place podium beneath the Monegasque flag made a lot less sense to Max.
The fact that he wasn’t mad about it, a warm sense of acquiescence spurred by Charles’s smile, made it all click.
He was in love with Charles Leclerc, and he always had been.

Tumblr media
March 2020: 
“Carmy, can you hear me now?” you ask, listening carefully for his response. 
“Yeah hold on. Wifi’s shit in this room,” he mumbles. You hear a rustle of sounds and the picture on your phone goes blurry for a second. This is just something you’ve come to accept is a part of your life now as you wait. 
Suddenly, the picture is clear again and it looks like Carmy’s in his living room now. He wears a white t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants as he tries to get comfy on the shitty sofa in his Flatiron apartment. 
“Ok there we go. I gotta-, yeah, I can hear you now,” he says, finally settling in. 
“How are you?” you ask as you grow more sure that you’re going to be able to talk now. “It’s good to see your face.”
“Yeah, no uh. It’s good to see you too,” he replies. “Shit’s so weird right now, huh?”
“Totally,” you agree. “So… what’ve you been up to? I mean… how are you spending your time?”
He sighs, shaking his head, as if to say that he barely knows how to answer that question. He thinks it over before answering with:
“I don’t know. Workin’ on some recipes. Tryin’ not to lose my fuckin’ head. You?”
“Same,” you commiserate. “Though… I don’t know. I’ve kind of been enjoying some of the down time, you know?”
He couldn’t agree less. 
Carmy tells you about the recipes he’s working on. You share with him the plot of the show you’re binge watching right now. He tells you he hasn’t really been in touch with family much and you let him know that you’ve been running errands for your parents where you can. It’s a fairly normal conversation for a very uncertain and strange time, but it brings you comfort – talking to Carmy. 
You talk about the state of the restaurant industry. The state of the world. The two of you wonder when the restaurant might open back up – if they’ll consider doing to-go’s. He’s not sure and neither are you.
It’s almost two hours later when you realize your phone is dying, and that somehow, time has flown as the two of you have been talking. 
“Shit, uh. My phone’s dying. I may have to go,” you say remorsefully. 
“Oh yeah! No problem,” Carmy replies, almost apologetically. “And I uh, if I get in touch with the people at World Central Kitchen, I’ll let you know. I’m sure they can always use more chefs and volunteers.”
“No, that’d be great. Uh… before I go,” you start, knowing that you want to tell him this. “I just wanted to say… I’m glad we did this.”
“Yeah me too,” he agrees, and you can tell he means it. 
“Maybe… we do it again? Keep each other company… you know. Virtually?” you propose, hopefully. 
“Yeah,” Carmy half smiles. “Yeah, I’d like that.”
And as the pandemic drags on, you find yourself FaceTiming with Carmy more and more. Once a week turns into once a week and a consistent exchange of texts. He shares with you the recipes he’s working on. You bounce ideas around with him on dishes he feels stuck on. You send him silly memes and TikToks, even though he refuses to get an account himself. Once a week turns into twice a week, and then phone calls, and soon enough, you don’t go a day without talking to Carmy in some capacity. 
You’re not sure how you’ve done it but you think that maybe you and Carmy just might be friends. 
May 2020: 
“Thanks so much for all the help guys. It means a lot. Especially having two chefs of your caliber,” the volunteer coordinator says, addressing both you and Carmy. 
“Listen, we’re just happy to be a part of something right now. With so much going on… it’s hard to know where to begin helping,” you reply with gratitude. You’re genuinely thankful that you’ve been able to be a part of World Central Kitchen’s COVID relief efforts, and you know Carmy feels the same. 
“We’ll see you guys next Friday?” the volunteer coordinator asks. 
“Heard,” Carmy answers, thanking the coordinator one more time before the two of you leave the building. 
Around the corner, there’s a bench that the two of you find. It’s an easy choice to sit down – neither of you are quite ready to go home yet. You sit on opposite sides before removing your masks as Carmy pulls out a pack of marlboros. 
“You want one?” he asks you, holding out the pack.
“Yeah,” you agree, taking one from him at a distance. You watch him light up, before handing you the lighter he keeps in his jean jacket pocket.
It’s nice to take a moment to pause. Between the chaos of being in a kitchen again to the chaos of the world around you, it feels good to smoke a fucking cigarette on a street corner with the man that’s so unexpectedly become your friend. The two of you sit in a comfortable silence, just enjoying the sounds of the city, each others’ company, and your fuckin’ cancer sticks. 
You break the silence between the two of you, letting out the smallest chuckle.
“What?” Carmy asks you, your laugh garnering his attention. 
“It’s just… it’s almost funny,” you say, continuing your giggle. 
“What?” he asks you again, a look of amusement on his face. He can’t imagine what must be so funny. 
“Just… seeing you here… Mr. Fine Dining…makin’ sandwiches,” you tease playfully. “Thought you were too fancy-pants for that.”
“Fuck off,” he rolls his eyes playfully, sucking on his cigarette as he inhales. You laugh again as he shakes his head, shooting you another look. 
He takes his time, exhaling the smoke out in the opposite direction, before addressing your playful remarks. 
“Nah. It uh-, actually reminds me of my family’s place a little. Back home,” he shares with you. 
It catches you off guard. Carmy rarely ever talks about home, let alone his family. 
“Yeah?” you ask curiously, hoping he’ll elaborate.
“Yeah,” he answers with a nod, before placing the cigarette back in between his lips. 
To your disappointment, you realize that’s all he’s planning to share. You resign yourself, taking another drag of your cigarette as the two of you smoke to the sounds of the city. After a long shift at the volunteer kitchen, your exhaustion begins to catch up with you. It’s been a few months since you’ve had to stand for that long, and as exhilarating as it’s been, you can feel the fatigue in your back and your feet already. 
“So… I was thinkin’ about something,” Carmy says, breaking the silence between the two of you. 
You angle your body towards him before asking, “What’s that?”
He shrugs, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s dumb.” 
He’s suddenly shy, and your eyes flicker over his cheeks that have turned a darker shade of red than they were before. 
“Carmy, what is it?” you ask, leaning towards him, now intrigued.
He avoids your gaze before he replies, “Nah. Nevermind. It’s stupid.” 
“No, it’s not! What is it?” you continue to press him.
You’re not going to let this go. 
“I shouldn't've said anything.” 
He sighs, taking one more drag of his cigarette before leaning forward and tossing it on the ground. His left foot hovers over the cigarette butt as he stamps it out, his forearms resting on his legs as he finally turns to you again. 
“I don’t know how you feel about it, and you can totally say no because like… shit’s still fucked, you know but-,” he starts, shyly. Was Carmy about to ask you out?
 He pauses, his eyes scanning the pavement beneath his feet before saying, “It’s just-, I’m not like, seeing anyone else in person. Except you.”
“Yeah, no me either,” you agree. 
Where was this going?
“Would you maybe wanna-?” he asks, before trailing off, his piercing blue eyes so intense it feels like he’s looking right through you. He nods towards the kitchen before continuing with, “... see each other in person. Like outside of here. As long as we’re being safe you know?” 
You nod, quick to put the poor man at ease, and only a little intrigued as to why it was so difficult for him to ask you that. 
“Yeah no. I’m not seeing anyone else in person either. And at this point if we had COVID, we’d probably already have exposed each other, right?” you reply. 
“Yeah,” he answers. 
“Yeah, I’d be down. To… you know. Maybe move some of our FaceTimes… in person, if that’s what you mean,” you agree, a smile on your face. 
You’re not sure what you expected, but you weren’t expecting for Carmy to ask you to become his quarantine buddy – even if you’d already kind of been doing it anyways. 
“Cool,” he says, taking a breath. 
You can tell that it was a big deal for him – to ask you that – even if he doesn’t want to show it. 
“Can I walk you home?” he asks. 
You smile in return, “Yeah. And if you’re feeling wild… we can… pick something up on the way there. You can come up and hang.”
“No, yeah. That uh-, that sounds great,” he replies, something softer in his eyes this time. “If you don’t mind. I mean-, if you want the company-.”
“Oh shut up, Berzatto,” you roll your eyes at him. You shoot him a look, even though you’re kind of loving this softer side of him. 
“I wouldn’t have offered, if I didn’t.”
July 2020: 
Carmen Berzatto becomes an unexpected yet pleasantly surprising part of your support system, and your COVID-pod. It’s hard to believe that less than a year ago, you thought the man absolutely hated you. He’s still the hot and cold, emotionally turbulent man you met last October, and he’s also become your friend. You’ve learned that he can be soft, that he’s terribly uncomfortable in any and all social situations, and that he’s the most single-minded, driven, obsessed motherfucker you’ve ever met. 
By now, the restaurant has pivoted and reopened for to-gos only. It’s nothing like the fine dining establishment it was before. You’re only open Thursday to Sunday and it’s a much more family style, to-go kit sort of operation these days: to-go cocktail kits, to-go curated menus, to-go assemble your own dishes at home. 
It’s strange. And it’s a strange time for all of you. 
You’re finished with your shift today, ready to head home and spend the next three days off. You’re not sure when you’ll ever get three days off in a row once all of this is over, so you’ve decided that you’re just going to embrace the slower lifestyle right now. You’ve been more creative in this chapter of your life than you can remember. 
“So you layin’ it down for Carmy or what?” a voice asks, jolting you from your thoughts. 
“Excuse me?” you snap, turning your head to a very smug looking Nate Walker, stripping off his face mask.
“What the fuck, man?” Tim exclaims, as he’s changing back into his street shoes. “Not okay to say.”
“What?” Nate defends himself. “I’m just wondering who I have to thank. This is the most relaxed I’ve ever seen the boss man.”
You scoff, rolling your eyes, “Really nice, Nate.” 
You shake your head, before slinging your backpack over your right arm, exchanging a look with Tim. 
“Not that it’s any of your business, but Carmy and I are just friends,” you correct. “Ever think that some time off has been good for all of us and that’s why Carmy’s been chill?”
“‘S not like we’re working at the same capacity we used to be. I think it’s been good for him,” Tim chimes in, trying to offer you a little backup.
“Sure,” Nate replies, unconvinced. 
“What’s it to you anyways, Walker?” Tim asks, putting the spotlight on his coworker. 
“Nothin’,” Nate replies, defensively. “Just noticed you guys spendin’ a lot of time together lately. Besides, the guy could use a good lay.”
“You’re a child,” you snap with an eye roll. You slide your left arm into the other strap of your backpack, ready to leave. “Now if we’re done with the girl talk, I’m going home.”
As you begin to walk away, you can hear Nate defending himself as Tim points out how inappropriate it was for him to say that to you. You’re grateful for people like Tim, because you’re not sure that Nate would listen to anyone else lower in the French brigade system – let alone a woman. 
“We still on for tomorrow?” Carmy asks you, as you're on your way out. He’s still in his chef whites because, as the both of you know, he’s going to be the last person to leave. A smile spreads across your face as soon as you see him. 
That’s right. You’re spending your day off tomorrow with him. 
“Yeah,” you smile with a nod. 
“Mine or yours?” he asks. 
You shoot him a look – a ‘I know you haven’t cleaned up your place’ kind of look. 
“Mine,” you reply. 
“Sweet. There’s a cool market nearby I wanted to check out. I’ll pick somethin’ up on the way,” he says back. 
“Heard.”
You wait a beat before adding, “Try not to work too hard, chef.”
He likes that you’re looking out for him. 
He smiles, “Heard.”
*
As much as you’ve tried not to let Nate Walker get to you, you can’t stop thinking about what he said the day before. Did people think you and Carmy were sleeping together? Did the whole staff think you were trying to sleep your way to the top? Your mind races, and you notice the anxious feelings you have have settled deep in your chest. Carmy moves around your kitchen, intentionally, and while you’d like to enjoy how happy he looks when he cooks for fun, you can’t seem to shut off your brain. 
“You sure I can’t help? I went to culinary school too, yknow?” you ask, trying to put on your best lighthearted tone. 
“Nah,” he dismisses, pulling together a sauce in one of the glass bowls you keep in your kitchen for prep. 
As Carmy steals a glance your way, he’s surprised to find that whatever weight it seems you were carrying when he first walked in, hasn’t gone away. He returns his focus to the stovetop, shaking the stainless clad frying pan that holds his precisely-cut lardons. 
“What’s up?” he asks you, keeping his back to you. 
“Uh… nothing,” you reply, trying your best to shake it off. 
He knows you’re lying, and he turns to look at you again, more intently this time. Your lips are pressed together in a thin line and there’s a new tension knitted between your brows that’s not normally there. As much as you’re trying not to let it get to you, your face betrays you and he knows that something’s been bothering you all day. He shoots you an unconvinced look and you sigh in defeat. 
Since when had Carmy learned what that look meant. 
“Just-, you’re gonna think it’s dumb,” you start, almost embarrassed that you have to bring this up to him. 
“What’s up?” he asks, patiently. 
You shrug, “Just something that Nate said yesterday’s been… bothering me, I guess.”
He rolls his eyes, letting out a dry laugh as he asks you, “Well Nate’s a dick. What’d he say?”
“I-, I don’t know if I should tell you,” you admit hesitantly. 
“Why?” he asks, a pang of nerves hitting him right in the gut. 
You wait a beat, trying to figure out how best to convey what Nate said without freaking Carmy out. 
“He uh… he kind of… suggested that everyone thinks we’re sleeping together?” you say cautiously, your voice going up at the end of the sentence, almost as if it were a question. 
“Oh,” is all Carmy manages to get out. 
“Yeah,” you exhale. 
“Well, we’re not,” Carmy replies, simply. 
Right. 
“Right,” you agree. 
You’re surprised by the feeling of disappointment that wells in your chest in response to Carmy’s reply. This had been eating away at you and for him to shut it down so quickly – like it was that simple – doesn’t quite make sense to you. 
Maybe it’s because men never bear the burden of an inappropriate workplace relationship, not that you’re having one with Carmy, but you know it’d be a bigger cost to you than it’d ever be for him.
“I just…” you start, beginning to understand why it’s bothering you so much. “Do you think… like is it a problem that we’re hanging out? I mean, you are kind of my boss and… I don’t know. I guess we never really talked about the ethical implications of… you know. Us. Being friends. And also working together.”
Friends. 
Right. 
Maybe because it’s because he’s never really had friends, let alone a girlfriend, that catches Carmy off guard.
You’re just friends, motherfucker, Carmy thinks to himself. 
It’s like he’d almost forgotten. 
Perhaps it’s the isolation – the way of the world right now – but he’s never thought about what you were to him. Ever since the two of you had decided to start spending time together, it had been you and him against a very scary and uncertain world. Carmy’s surprised to find that, hearing it said aloud, friends, leaves him with a feeling of dissatisfaction – like the word friend didn’t quite describe the way he felt about you. 
But he’s terrified to think about what that could mean. That anything else would probably scare you away – push you out of his life – and there’s no way in hell he’s going to let that happen right now. 
Because he likes this too much. 
Because he likes who he is when he’s with you. 
Because you’re all he has. 
He pushes the thoughts out of his mind for another time, because right now, you’re sitting right in front of him, and he’s got a problem to solve for you. 
“As long as we’re professional in the kitchen… I don’t see why it should be a problem,” he says. 
You’re not sure how it seems so simple for him, because it doesn’t feel this simple for you. 
“Yeah, no. I-, I agree,” you lie. 
Carmy returns to what he’s doing, and you accept that that’s probably the full conversation that you’re going to have with him. At least right now. You watch as he continues to cook, pulling together the sauce as he tosses the pasta and cheese in your frying pan. You open up your phone, scrolling through a few social media posts to try your best to get your mind off of your worries as Carmy finishes up in your kitchen. 
It’s not long before he’s returned to your small dining table. You set your phone down, watching as he approaches you. 
“I remember you mentioning that it’s hard to find a good carbonara so uh… thought I’d make you one,” he says confidently. Carmy hands you bowl containing a perfectly twirled nest of spaghetti, along with a fork he’d gotten from your kitchen. 
“How do I know it’s gonna be up to my standards?” you challenge him playfully. 
He shoots you a ‘don’t play with me’ kind of look and you giggle in response. You exchange glances with Carmy before messing up the perfectly plated nest by digging your fork into it. 
“Make sure you get a little bit of everything,” he reminds you. He watches as you twirl the spaghetti around your fork, making sure to scoop up a bit of crispy guanciale. You lift the fork to your mouth before taking a bite, your eyes closing as the salty, cheesy, bite hits your tongue. 
It’s perfect.  
“Holy fuck,” you practically moan in response to your first bite. You open your eyes and he smiles back at you, proud of the response he’s earned from you. Your face twists into a look that falls somewhere between ‘this is so good I’m angry and hello, I’ve reached nirvana.’ 
“This-, please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m pretty sure your talents are being wasted on fine dining, my friend. This is… this is fucking unreal, dude,” you say, as you continuing processing the most perfect carbonara you’ve ever had in your life. 
“No offense taken,” he says. 
You shake your head at him, “Best carbonara ever.”
September 2020: 
“So we go upstate, and we’re searching for outdoor activities we can do, you know, safely, at a distance, with masks on. And we end up at this goat farm,” Maya says, describing her and her fiance’s last few months spent in upstate New York. 
“...Was the goat named Milo?” Carmy asks, a humorous tone to his question. 
“Carmy!” you exclaim with a laugh, shooting him a look. 
“What?” he asks back. 
Both Liz, Maya, and her fiance Patrick send you questioning looks. 
“I-, it’s an inside joke,” you explain, shaking your head once again in response to Carmy’s very silly interjection. 
“Anyways, it’s so nice to be back in the city. Seriously, Liz, thanks for organizing this,” Maya continues. 
“Oh, I’m kind of getting really into this whole cute picnic thing actually,” she replies, in reference to the picnic she’s organized for the five of you. “Plus, the to-go picnic kit has been killing at the restaurant. Thanks for letting me run with that, chef.”
“No, yeah. You’re killin’ it. It was a great idea,” Carmy compliments. 
The five of you spend time in the park, catching up and enjoying time spent in person for the first time in a long time. You, Liz, and Carmy have been back at work, pushing through, what will hopefully be, the last month or so in the to-go only business at the restaurant. As the sun begins to come down, you all agree that it’s time to pack it up and go home. You’ve begun to collect all of the trash in a brown paper bag as Carmy offers to take it. 
“You sure?” you ask him. 
“Yeah,” he answers. 
As he takes a walk, in search of the nearest trash can, your friends are immediately on you about whatever the hell it is that you and Carmy are doing. 
“So what I’m hearing is… you talk every day, you have inside jokes together, and you’re basically quarantining together. How are you trying to tell us that this man is not your boyfriend?!” Maya exclaims. Her partner shrugs in agreement. 
“I know that what Nate said was hella inappropriate, but he’s not wrong… that this is the most I’ve seen him relaxed in… maybe since we met him,” Liz adds in as your friends make their case. 
“He seems into you,” Patrick offers. 
“I-,” you start, knowing you don’t have much time before Carmy returns. “I don’t know. All I know is… I like what we have. And right now, we’re friends so.”
“God, you’re so good at it,” Maya sighs. 
“What?” you ask, looking from her to Liz as they exchange glances. 
The both turn to you, before saying in unison, “Compartmentalizing!” 
Patrick holds his hands up as he says, “I’m gonna stay out of this one.”
“You ready to go?” Carmy asks, rejoining you and your friends. 
You can practically feel Liz and Maya staring at you. 
“Yeah,” you reply to Carmy. 
You say your goodbyes before going your separate ways, and Maya swears when Carmy isn’t listening that you’re not done talking about this. It’s just been you and Carmy for so long that you hadn’t thought about what it might look like to other people. Now that things were slowly reopening… you were beginning to get more questions, and maybe, you were beginning to have more questions too. 
But the last time you’d tried to bring up any conversation about your relationship with Carmy, he’d shut it down and distracted you with the best carbonara you’ve ever had in your life. Not that you were complaining, definitely not, but you were hesitant to bring it up any time soon.  As Carmy looks at you, there’s something about the way you look against the backdrop of the city, the setting sun, and the sparkling lights, that catches him off guard. He’s not ready to part ways with you yet.
“Can I walk you home?” Carmy offers, hopefully. 
“Sure,” you nod.

Y/n and Remus were used to Sirius bringing home strays, his heart was too big to leave them, but what do they do when their beloved husband brings home a stray they can't take to an animal shelter.
Warning: referenced/implied child abuse
masterlist
Word count: 1,079
It was a cold winter night, I was sitting on the couch wrapped up in a thick blanket as I waited for Sirius to come home, Remus on the other hand was fast asleep upstairs. Though Sirius didn't say much about where he was going, he just said it was important. It wasn't until 10pm that I heard jingling keys from the door. I looked over at Sirius as he walked into the living room, he was staring at the floor with a sad look on his face "are you alright dear?" I asked him softly "please don't get mad, I just couldn't leave him there". I was quick to think that he had brought home another stray animal as I heard movement by the doorway. I stood up with a sigh, making my way over to the door "I swear Sirius if it's another dog you'll be sleeping on the-" I stopped instantly as I saw what was in front of me, it was in fact not a dog or an animal for that matter.
It was Sirius's little brother, his head hung low and his arms were wrapped around himself. I heard Sirius come up behind me "why didn't you tell me you were bringing him back here" I looked behind me at my husband "I'm sorry Y/n I was too worried about him". I shook my head, looking back over at the small boy "oh Regulus sweetie are you hungry?" The said boy finally looked up at me, his face made my heart break. He had a dried cut on his swollen lower lip and he was littered with small bruises and scrapes. He hesitated for a few seconds before responding "if it's not too much… trouble to ask" his voice was quiet and cracked slightly "of course not, why don't you two take a seat on the couch" I lightly placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him a soft smile. He muttered a small thank you before following Sirius into the living room. I fixed up the two boys the leftovers from the dinner Remus and I had made earlier, it was a simple Carbonara dish. I made my way back into the living room holding the tray, after setting down the bowls and two drinks I gave Sirius a quick kiss on the head "I'll go wake Remus" he smiled up at me "thank you for this love" I smiled back at him before making my way upstairs.
I quietly opened the door of our bedroom, quickly shutting it behind me. The only light in the room had been the small lamp on the bedside table Remus had left on after falling asleep while reading. I walked over to the bed sitting on the edge, I moved the book off of Remus before gently shaking him. He let out a soft groan, opening his eyes to look at me "Is everything alright?" he asked with a slight tone of concern "it's just… Sirius brought his brother here, the boy looked pretty roughed up" Remus sat up leaning into me "are they both alright?" His voice seemed quieter when he asked "I'm not sure, but they're both downstairs eating, thought I'd come let you know" I said as I combed my hair through his messy hair. "I'll be down in a bit" he gave me a soft kiss on the lips and got out of the bed, making his way over to the walk in closet. I left him to get dressed and made my way back downstairs to see Regulus cuddled up to Sirius, his head resting on his brother's shoulder as Sirius wrapped his arm around his shoulder. I sat down on the other side of Regulus putting my hand on his knee "are you alright Reg?" I rubbed my thumb lightly on his knee. He looked over at me with sad wet eyes "I'll be okay, i'm quite used to this sort of thing, though thank you for this Y/n… it means a lot to me" he practically threw himself at me wrapping his arms around my waist as his head landed into my shoulder quietly sobbing as I ran my hands through his unusually messy hair. "Hey you don't need to thank me, I'm more than happy to help you Regulus" I looked over at Sirius, he looked miserable at the state of his brother, but held a small smile on his face at the fact his brother trusted his Wife so much to be vulnerable around her.
Remus had finally come down, taking the seat next to Sirius as the said boy leaned against him, seeking warmth from his insanely warm husband. "If you want Reg you're more than welcome to stay here" the boy quickly pulled away from me looking shocked "are you serious, you'd actually let me stay here" the young boy sounded unsure and scared. Remus spoke up for me "we wouldn't mind at all Regulus, we have more than enough room, you can take the granny flat James and Lily used to stay in if you'd like" Regulus looked between the three of us looking like he was going to burst into tears again. He started quickly nodding his head "I'd like that a lot" tears started to stream down his face again and he lent back towards me. "How about we put on a movie for us to watch, how does that sound Little Star" Sirius asked, rubbing the back of his brother's head. Regulus nodded his head, slowly pulling back from my shoulder again "do you guys have Rocky Horror" I felt slightly shocked at his choice and so did Remus, I looked over at him to see his wide eyes staring back at me. "Of course we have that, what do you take me for brother" the two let out small laughs.
We all had blankets wrapped around us to fight off the cold while we watched the movie. Remus was the first to fall asleep, his head falling onto Sirius, he was quickly followed by Regulus, who had also fallen asleep on Sirius. "Thanks for this love" Sirius spoke quietly, trying to not wake up either of the sleeping boys "of course, I'd do anything for you and Remus" we both smiled at each other before falling asleep towards the end of the movie. Sure we'd all be super stiff in the morning but right now it was definitely worth it.

all of this one for Black Widow??
You're lucky, this is one of the few ones I haven't answered about her yet! Here we go!
Tumblr media
1. How good is your OC at making plans? Do they follow through with them?
Aurelia is a great planner and strategist and she will stick to them as much as possible, but she also knows how to adapt them if necessary.
2. What is your OC's drink of choice? Do they drink at all?
Her drink of choice is red wine, but she'll also sometimes take a cocktail, champagne, or other drinks. Very rarely does she also drink rum, but only if it's good rum.
3. What is your OC's alcohol tolerance? How do they act when drunk?
I'd say Aurelia has a pretty normal tolerance, but people think it's higher because she can act pretty sober even when very drunk. It's the absolute guardedness and the striving for affection - and the anxiety, honestly. But if she doesn't have to be completely guarded and in control, she becomes a little more playful when drunk. Or a lot. Her first date with Mihawk wouldn't have ended the way it did if they hadn't both been a little more than tipsy.
4. What is the one thing about themselves they would change?
The one big thing she would change, she already did, and that's her sex. Thanks to a certain queer icon, Aurelia is now a biological woman and she wouldn't go back for anything in the world. But if we're talking about minor things, she'd probably like to remove the scar on her stomach because it's a reminder of what could happen when she lets her guard down and lets herself love the wrong person.
5. What animal do you associate with them?
Spiders, clearly, and snakes - also more or less clearly if you know what culture she's from and who her animal companion is. The spider is of course a nod to her epithet and her crest, and the snakes symbolize her heritage.
6. What's their favourite flower/plant?
Aurelia loves red roses, but her favourite has to be the aster flower, for nostalgia reasons. It's also the one that made it into her crest!
7. What odd habit to they have?
It's more of a quirk, I suppose, and that's rarely using her left hand for things. Obviously, her left hand is a lethal weapon. She doesn't want to hurt anyone she cares about with it or cause unwanted damage. And if she does use it, it probably looks a little odd because she has to be hyperaware of the position of her claws at all times.
8. What is their weapon of choice? What's their fighting style?
Her weapon of choice are her claws. Second place goes to her dagger if she ever needs to stab someone. If she needs to use something bigger, she'll settle for a rapier, but it's not exactly her specialty. Her fighting style, much like that of someone else from her culture, centers around her legs, kicking people and martial arts. In her universe, she's one of the people who taught Sanji!
9. What languages do they know? Can they only speak them or can they write them, too? How good are they at them?
Well, does One Piece have languages? Not really. But if we're talking real-world Aurelia, she's definitely a polyglot. I imagine she knows English (which I hereby define as the lingua franca of the world), Spanish and Italian from a very young age, and then keeps learning languages as she gets older because, if you want to negotiate with someone, it's best to do it in their language or at least a common language. She definitely knows French as the language of royalty and probably some Japanese as the main language of the swordfighting world. Other languages she may know bits and pieces of or understand them but not know how to speak them.
10. How good are they at cooking? What are their specialities?
Aurelia is probably a decent cook. Not really stellar but also not bad. I bet she makes a good risotto though!
11. What is their favourite and least favourite food?
Oof, I honestly don't know. Her favourite would probably be something that can be paired with red wine. Or maybe pasta with a carbonara sauce? For some reason, I could see her enjoying that. But also spicy food. As for things she doesn't like... anything bland or with too much salt. Yes, this means that Aurelia doesn't like salted chips.
12. What is their sleep schedule like? Do they get their 8 hours of sleep or do they run on caffeine?
Aurelia gets very little sleep while she's out and about. She'll stay up late and get up early, and that sleep cycle often gets disturbed when she's out at sea. That means that, when she gets back from a longer voyage, the first thing she does (after greeting her husband, of course) is to catch up on sleep. She sleeps in for two or three days and then its back to late nights and early mornings. Sometimes, she also naps during the day, but anyone who catches her doing this and isn't a person she trusts is probably dead. I imagine she may have mastered the art of sleeping while standing so she doesn't have to take off her jewelry and expensive dresses when she feels like taking a nap.
Thanks so much for your ask! Hope you're having a lovely day <3

Ough Zeke if I could send you all these soft asks I would they're so adorable 🥺🥺🥺 but I'll settle for 5, 10, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 23 uwu have a lovely day <33
wahhh sara you're the sweetest 🥺 thank you for the asks and I hope YOU have a lovely day!
5. who do you feel most you around?
IRL I feel the most myself around my sister! We have some deep talks and she's very good at talking me through tough subjects. And in the online space, I feel like I can truly be myself with you! 💚💚
10. what’s something you’re excited for?
I'm going to see my best friend on Sunday! We're going to visit a Japanese bakery that we haven't been to before, but their bun and dessert selection looks impeccable,, I'm hoping to get one of everything on the menu 🤧
12. how are you?
I'm doing really well, thank you <33 I have a lot of ideas for art, my shoulder and neck have been feeling better these days, I've been reading some new books, I'm less stressed on the employment front, I'm having a great time rn!
13. what’s your comfort food?
Any creamy and/or cheesy pasta tbh... homemade mac & cheese, fettuccine alfredo, carbonara, mentaiko udon,, ough those creamy pastas are the way to my heart
18. do you still love stuffed animals?
Ooooo well, I do still love stuffed animals, I like admiring them in stores or in claw machines, but I don't really like buying them. I don't have much space in my room for plushies and I don't like sleeping with more than one or two of them. I have a stuffed horse named Cinnamon that my parents gifted me when I was three, and I still sleep with her next to my pillow (she's very threadbare)
19. most important thing in your life?
Hmm this is a hard one...currently I think connecting with other people is the most important thing in my life. I've been socially isolated for the past year or so, and I've been very lonely and depressed at times, so now when I do get out & about I really enjoy making small talk with strangers or complimenting people's outfits. Like I really do understand the importance of social interaction after being cut off from it for awhile 😅 even a few sentences exchanged with a stranger can make my day feel so much richer, if that makes sense.
20. what do you want most in the world right now?
I'm pretty satisfied with what I have atm! (aka nothing's coming to mind atm, sorry sara 😅)
23. favourite piece of clothing?
OOH this is tough,, I want to say my patch jacket, which I've had since 2018, it's covered in Amazingly Curated and Thoughtfully Placed patches and it's getting very heavy and stiff,, but I also recently thrifted a sherpa-lined acid-washed 80s style denim jacket that is so comfy and just warm enough for spring, I've been wearing it almost every day when I walk the dog and I feel so cool wearing it...ig I'll have to go with my patch jacket but the acid washed one might dethrone it someday soon

what are your ocs ideal dates? if you can't do all of them, please do liam and eunjeong!
a/n: i just did liam and eunjeong but, if you'd like me to do the others, just request! also i accidentally did ideal first dates, sorry! hope you still like it!
Tumblr media
eun-jeong yoo ★ profile
Eun-jeong's ideal first date would definitely be something low-key, not too expensive but not too cheap. Somewhere he can sit you down and there's no heavy expectations. Just you, him and maybe food?
A good example would be a quaint little cafe. Bonus points if it's an animal cafe just because he loves animals or if it's the type of cafe that allows pets inside so he can introduce you to his giant puppies.
A not good example would be a restaurant. He doesn't want to pressure you and there are certain expectations at dinner dates.
He wants to take you out for lunch, buy you a coffee, maybe a hot chocolate, and a sandwich? Or a piece of cake? And then he just wants to chat.
No small talk either. He wants to really get to know you so, though he doesn't want to pressure you, he does ask you personal questions. And the eager almost excited expression on his face does pressure you a lot.
Tumblr media
liam anthony arieh ★ profile
Liam's ideal first date would also be something more low-key but nowhere too cramped. He's not a fan of small places where he's forced to stay there, with no way out.
Things like dinners where he can't leave the restaurant without making a scene or cafe's where he's surrounded by people are a big no-no.
For him, a good example of a place he'd enjoy is somewhere outdoors. Something like a picnic or a hike, somewhere he can let the wind brush his hair or where he can hold your hand and guide you. It's also a good place where people wouldn't be able to interrupt or overhear.
Another good date spot would just be a date indoors, at your place or his. He can cook a mean carbonara pasta, you know? Better than any restaurant.
He can show you he can take care of you and feed you properly too!

30 Day Thinspo Challenge All In One Because I’m Bored And Trying To Prevent Cravings
Tumblr media
1. 175cm tall, 54kg, BMI is 17.8
2. 5’9. I like this height, but I wish I were a little taller.
3. Kate Moss. Any explanation needed?
Tumblr media
4. What everyone will say. And how much it will fuck up my metabolism permanently.
5. I have been stuck like this for YEARS, I want to be skinny so bad. And yes, I am doing it for me
6. No, not really. If I ever get really bad cravings, I just chew a heap of food up and spit it out (disgusting, I know, it’s so bad 😭)
7. Yes. I think mum suspects something’s wrong, but dad doesn’t care. Or if he does, he hasn’t mentioned it.
8. 2 minute side plank, 25 left lifts per leg, 50 side-lying left lifts per leg, 25 hip thrusts, 25 Russian twists with a weight, 50 butt-kicks and mb 20 or so squats if I’m up to it. I’m not very fit, I mostly just do walking.
9. I’ve had someone point out after a lost a bit that I was doing it for attention, though that didn’t actually make me feel all that bad.
10. Pizza. And crisps. And chips.
11. Don’t think I have one, tbh. I just scroll on Pinterest or twitter until I come by one I like the look of.
12. A lot of apples, and eggs. Lots of safe-foods, too, which I think definitely sets me back a bit.
13. Very unhealthily I’d say.
14. At LEAST 48 kg. Just until I don’t have to see a psychologist for ADHD meds, because she has to weigh me and if my weight gets too low, she’ll tell my mum.
15. No. I don’t eat a lot of meat in general, but I haven’t cut it out. I rlly like a good few other animal products, so I don’t think I’d ever get away with a vegan label.
16. About three or nearly four years ago
17. I’m guessing so.
18. Chocolate or garlic bread.
19. I actually am not sure. I didn’t eat much of it beforehand either.
20. Again, don’t really have one. I’m starting the ABC diet, though, so I’ll see how that goes.
21. I only really wearing baggy clothes bc I’m quite trans, but as far as I know: a medium in shirts and a UK 28 in pants. Idk
22. I’m at my lowest weight currently.
23. To The Bone didn’t help.
24. I’m not either of them, so not very highly.
25. I tried so hard to, but I don’t think I have a very active gag reflex because it never really worked.
26. I will look fanTASTIC! Honestly, though, it’d probably worry a few people, but that’s the plan.
27. Depends on whether or not I’m with friends. If I see my friends eating, then I’ll want to eat, but if they’re lot with me, I’ll either try to ignore it or (again) chew it then spit it out.
28. Yeah, why not.
29. Don’t have one. I actually think all sizes are lovely, just not on me, but everyone says that so what does it matter.
30. 10 facts:
1) I was born a girl but I don’t think I am one, which is mostly the reason why I’m doing this.
2) My ribs poke out quite clearly but I’m fairly sure that’s because I’ve got a wide ribcage 😭.
3) Skins is one of my favourite TV shows.
4) My safe-foods are garlic bread, chocolate, carbonara, peanut butter, and Nutella - once again, it’s so bad.
5) This is probably the deepest I’ve ever been in an ED, and I’ve been doing this for years now, so it’s getting serious.
6) I take ADHD medication that reduces my appetite, and I’ve only recently started them, which I’m guessing it why my weight has been dropping more than usual. HOORAY
Can’t think of any more facts, I’m not that deep.

Hiii!! Wanted to ask... which artists made your favourite version of Romano?
Basically the Romanos you are downbad for yk
Sport-lova on Tumblr is the goat when it comes to Romano, literally like I imagine him in my dreams.
But overall... I love Romano in every universe... even when he is an old and wrinkly middle aged man... I still love him (I've seen a bunch of fanarts making him older and some are a smash ngl) EXCEPT when he is a kid or a GODDAMN animal.
Oh btw I am framing all the tiny fanarts people make of me and Romano in my sanctuary. Right now I have framed only two so if u ever make a goofyaah fanart just tag my ass.
Anyways rate my carbonara, all the ingredients are from my grandpa's farm so this means its peak.
Tumblr media
Anyways have a great day y'all

୭̥🍵(_ _୧¸¸.IN THE SOOP○ ̣̣̣͙୧¸¸. ̣̣̣͙𖦹︎🪷

"Ddurududurudu Seventeen is in the soop"
Daisy could only think about this melody in her head, since the night before they were all gathered around the fire, creating a song for the new show In The Soop. She loved that moment, she loves this kind of programs. She couldn't care about the cameras in each room, it was like they weren't there, and spent the day like she'd normally do when Seventeen don't have a schedule.
The nature was stunning, and this house in the mountains reminded her of Japan, and felt like home. Actually, every time she's with Seventeen she feels at home.
«What's today's plan?» - Hyejin asked entering the kitchen, looking at the display of her phone, the clock was showing 2 pm. It was late of her to woke up at this hour, but it doesn't happen that often to be on a holiday to rest. «I'm making some Shabu-Shabu, do you wanna help me?» - Jun replied while he was cutting an onion. «Shabu-Shabu! You know it's my favourite! I'm going to eat that with you» -Daisy favourite food is Carbonara pasta from Italy, but also loves Sushi from Japan, then loves to eat this Hot pot from China, on cheat days she orders Hamburgers from a famous American fast food place and cannot stay a day without Ramyeon from South Korea. She's an eater. She loves to eat.
«Okay, done! Now let's wait the food to be cooked and let me take a photo! Hana dul set... jak!» - Junhui was really happy about his cooking skills, especially when it comes to chinese food, he also brought himself all the plates and stuff to cook Hot Pot for his members. «Oppa, it's delicious!» - Hyejin said taking a bite of spam emerged in this hot and spicy broth «Huh?? You didn't invite me to eat?» Minghao entered the room probably because of the smell that there was. Hyejin turned red as the pepper sauce. Since she became closer to Minghao, she felt embarrassed even with hearing him talking. «Sit and eat, there's still a lot of food» Jun answered putting more meat in the pot.
3:00 am
Daisy spent the rest of the day going out fishing with the other members, she didn't catch any fish but it was fun anyway. After a tired evening, she went to sleep but suddenly woke up because she needed to go to the bathroom. She put herself up walking diligently to make any noise and to not wake up the boys who were sleeping next to her ( Dokyeom and Wonwoo).
«AAAH!» - she screamed. Seokmin opened his eyes in confusion, while Wonwoo didn't move at all. «Hyejin-ah what's happening?? What's wrong?» - «T-There's a lizard in the wall!» - she pointed out that little animal in the wall next to them. «That's too bad, oh.. what do we do now?» - Seokmin and Daisy looked into each others eyes and at unison said «Wonwoo!!» - Seokmin moved him and gave some smacking in his thighs to let him woke up, otherwise they couldn't get to sleep anymore. «Uh? What do you want? What time is it?» - he said with a hoarse voice «Wonwoo-hyung, there's a lizard over there, can you.. don't kill it but can you put it outside?» - Seokmin said while Hyejin was hiding behind him, too scared of being "attacked" by that rettile «Please» - she added. Wonwoo didn't even put his glasses on, he just took a tissue and the second later he was holding the lizard from the tail, putting it outside in the nature «Goodnight little lizard» - he said before closing the door, and without saying more he turned back to sleep, of course Seokmin and Daisy didn't wait Wonwoo and were already sleeping with Dk back hugging her.
