PAIRING: gwen stacy x fem!reader
SYNOPSIS: kissing and make out headcanons
WARNINGS: kissing, making out, super fluffy, suggestive?? that’s all !! not rrly proof read tho
Tumblr media
let’s start off by stating the obvious: gwen loves your kisses
i mean it when i say she is so whipped for you as her girlfriend like you have her wrapped around your finger and she has no complaints whatever
if anyone would tell her about it she would not gaf
“yeah? and? i’m sorry, have you SEEN my girlfriend??”
she loves the sensation of your mouth on hers like yeah it can be sensual or sweet but on top of that it’s comforting and lets her know that your there
— KISSES
she feels the need to kiss you every time she sees you like it’s some unspoken good girlfriend rule
whether it be on the lips, cheek, forehead, temple WHEREVER she just feels the need to like if she doesn’t kiss you hello it feels wrong and she will do it
however she won’t kiss you in public
i spoke a little about this before but she is not big on pda because she finds it wayyy too awkward and just uncomfortable
like she will kiss you to greet you, it just may not be a kiss on the lips and it definitely ain’t as long as her usual kisses
you both started this thing where if you want to kiss each other but the area is too public w way too many people for gwen’s comfort she will kiss your lower cheek but like right next to your lip
she does this more when she’s around people she’s comfortable with seeing you guys a bit more intimate like her friends, her band, and her dad
gwen had invited you to dinner at hers, requested by her dad, so you came over looking your best dressed to make a good impression every time you came into contact with that man.
you knocked on the door and immediately gwen answered.
“hey babe,” she greeted, her eyes lighting up upon meeting yours. “i’m glad you came so uh thanks.”
you smiled at how happy she seemed that you came. “yeah well y’know i had nothing to do so i guess i had to come and grace you both with my presence,” you joked, your voice laced with sarcasm.
gwen chuckled, mumbling a “yeah sure” at your statement before you pulled her into a hug by her neck, her arms quickly finding their way around your waist.
you pulled back as she stared into your eyes lovingly before leaning in to kiss you.
“wait, but gwen your dad is in the kitchen-”
“i know.”
she held your jaw with her hands as she pressed a soft, warm kiss on the corner of your mouth, your face heated as you felt her smirk against your skin.
all just mere seconds before george bulldozed through gwen to greet you.
we’ve talked about gwen and her hand placement before but let me reiterate that she is the embodiment of wlw hand placement
she will hold you throat and not even on some crazy kink type beat she just loves holding you in anyway, especially when she’s trying to deepen a kiss with you
she’ll do that thing where she holds your mouth there and just leans in
she also loves touching your back, assigning circles into it and tracing the curves your body has to offer
gwen hands also sometimes caress the small of your back as well as your lower abdomen, waist
she just loves to hold you close when you guys kiss because gwen wants to know and feel that you are there
she loves to feel your hair while you guys kiss and just fondle you like just feeling you under her touch causes her to ascend, it just makes her day so much better
she loves to slowly kiss you like especially after a long day she just wants to old you firmly by the waist and hold your mouth on hers for a good 20 seconds, fantasizing about your presence and how much she loves you, before pulling back because 1) she couldn’t breathe 2) she wants to see your beautiful face because seeing you smile just cheers her up sm
“gwen, how was your day?” you asked and was met with no response as she crawled in through your window with a hum sound. “gwen? are you ok- mhm..”
she’s already on you.
her grip strong on your throat, slightly squeezing as she pulled you closer and dipped her head to the side to deepen the kiss. her other hand held the small of your waist, bringing your hips to hers.
“you have no idea how much i needed that, the patrols have just been so much lately and- and i just needed you,” gwen confessed with a small smile on her face just by looking at you. “but how was your day beautiful? because it had to be better than mine, especially now that i’m here.”
always the jokester.
she also just loves kissing your body
sometimes gwen does not understand the range of her strength because there have been times where she straight up just smashes her lips onto yours and next thing you knew you had purple lips and had to explain it to your guardian (she felt so bad 💀)
“no, no! i didn’t get into a fight at school, i swear. i just dropped my phone on my face while watching funny videos… i just laughed too hard i swear-”
she won’t say it but she secretly loves it when you wear lipstick or lipgloss and it transfers onto her lips
like if you wear red lipstick and you kiss her and it tints her lips she may start kicking her feet n giggling
she also loves if you kiss all over her face, neck, and body it just feels so nice and it’s just reassuring that she’s in the relationship with you and that she’s yours and your hers
but if you do kiss all over here and the red marking of your lips is all over her she WILL get giddy but as soon as she has to go she will an absolutely horrible job of rubbing the lipstick off like if anything she starts blending it into her skin and end up lookin mad crazy
“baby you ok? your neck is all red-” george said trying to get a better look. “DAD ITS NOTHING i just have uh…a rash”
shits embarrassing.
she for sure makes some type of noise when you kiss her like a hum, whimper, small moan
gwen is just so vocal and the power you have over her when you kiss her is criminally insane
she will kiss like the same area repeatedly and sometimes she won’t even lift her lips up, she will just stay glued to the skin she’s kissing
she loves to hug you from behind, her hands on your hips as she pulls your lower body close to her, and just kiss you
gwen also loves shoulder kisses and even more so kissing down your neck and around
if you have hair long enough she will swoop it out the way or hold it while she just closes her eyes and revels in the warmth of your skin as it kissed her mouth
you were cleaning your room while gwen was over, determined to be the organized one in the relationship because we all know someone isn’t. you were making your bed…everything was normal.
suddenly you felt a pair of rough hands grip your hips and pull you into them. “what happened to saying hello, hi, what’s up like civilized people?” you asked teasingly as you saw in the corner of your eye blonde and pink hair brush up against your shoulder.
gwen rolled her eyes and chuckled into your back, making your cheeks heat up. “hi,” mumbled sarcastically, wrapping her hands around your lower abdomen.
she pulled you even closer before pressing a slow kiss on your shoulder before trailing them up. the kisses were warm and tender, sending shivers down your spine before she stopped abruptly.
“gwen… i’m kinda in the middle of something, i don’t know if you can tell,” you told her while trying to ignore her advances as you picked up a blanket and began to fold it.
you felt her smirk against your skin before moving a hand from under your stomach to pick up a handful of your hair and hold it in the air as she started kissing down your neck, leaving warm and feathery trail.
“you’re so adorable, you know that? i just don’t know why you complain because i know my girl pretty well, so i think i can tell when she’s enjoying something,” she teased, her breathing tickling your nape. “also i hate to break it to you but your goosebumps kinda give it away…”
she plays too much
bites too.
gwen likes to nibble on your skin and that may or may not cause the blood to rush and suddenly have you walking around with a purple spot
she rarely intends to give you a hickey like never that but sometimes she just loses herself in the moment
if she notices days later that like you have a spot because of her she will start apologizing profusely
“gwen it’s fine, honestly i don’t mind. if anything it’s like you’re always with me! well until it fades…” her face goes beat red. now she’ll get shy everytime she sees a glimpse of it.
she just wants to be all over you like she can’t help it
you would think the way that she acted in the beginning of the relationship that gwen wasn’t that heavy on physical touch but she’s actually so needy and clingy (heavy on the clingy)
sometimes she just looks so enchanted at you and just stares, smiling because she feels like the luckiest girl in the world and when you notice she just plants a kiss right then and there.
when she comes crawling in through your window for you the patch her up and after your done treating her you kiss where she got her? folded.
gwen staring at you, wide eyed. “i think i love you.”
she loves to kiss your knuckles and hands (especially after you patch her up because she knows it can be scary and nerve racking like her heart breaks if she sees your hands shaking)
gwen wears a lot of belts, chains, rings, necklaces, etc
she will literally die if you pulled her in for a kiss by one of her spiked belts or if you gently reeled her in by one of her necklaces
she would melt on the floor and turn into mf vanilla pudding like she’s such a big talker but she is like putty in your hands
when she makes her heavyweight self way on top of you and all the necklaces she’s layered are just dangling in your face 🤭
she does like it when you take charge in kisses like if you straddle her waist and grab her by face she is literally fangirling
she doesn’t mind it in the slightest if she’s laid down and you’re just sat on top of her kissing her with so much passion and all she can do is just rub her hands from your waist, to your hips, and down your legs just to ground herself
she’s literally giggling and it doesn’t help if you start fluttering her face with kiss
gets so shy when you steal kisses or do surprises kisses like of you kissed her nose
“like what you see?” gwen teased, noticing you staring at her.
you didn’t say anything in response and instead just shuffled closer to her, making gwen almost suspicious of you. almost. it wasn’t like you to not reply when she made a cheeky comment.
gwen smiled, starting to lean in slowly before suddenly you grabbed her face and brought her down to yours, placing a quick peck on her nose.
she blinked a couple times, shocked that you even pulled that on her. “you’re cute, but you’re gonna pay for that.”
she tried to threaten you, but it wasn’t very intimidating the way her hand covered her face and her skin was rose red.
“sure gwen, sure.”
kisses all over your body like im not sure there’s a single part she hasn’t kisses she just wants to be all over you so bad
thighs, legs, chest, stomach, she just loves giving you butterflies when she feels you getting ticklish or shy under her touch
when you do the iconic spiderwoman kiss she gets SO flustered
you were out doing errands when you spotted your girlfriend. you hadn’t seen her much all day, especially when she was doing her daily rounds as spiderwoman.
so you decided to go up to her.
“my spider isn’t too busy to talk?” you questioned, which oddly enough surprised her. you’d think her spider sense would be good for something. “never too busy for my favorite citizen.”
you rolled your eyes at her, a grin stretching across your face as she came closer to you.
you guys talked for a while as she asked you about your day and you happily told her all about it. gwen stared at you, taking in every word that left your lips. that was until she heard the blaring sirens of police cars.
“sorry babe i- shit i gotta go,” she told you hastily. gwen was already ready to swing off. “wait!” you called out to her as she turned, upside down and ready to get back to work.
“(y/n) i really have to go-”
she was caught off guard when you pulled her mask up to the tip of her nose and leaned in for a kiss, cupping the sides of her face. gwen’s eyes were still wide before she closed them slowly, reveling in your kiss. she could feel her face heating up. but before she could even begin to try and kiss back, you pulled away.
“be safe,” is all you said, the small smile on your face that gwen loved.
she looked at you, having no words for what you did. shw just swung off and yelled an “i love you” into the air that you’re sure all of new york heard.
she leaves lingering kisses like the type where she gets so close to your face, leans in for a kiss, and then doesn’t pull back just stares into your eyes as your lips brush against each other
loves it when you kiss her goodbye, especially before she goes out on patrol or if something is happening and the city and she just has to dip
“(y/n), i’m gonna be fine. i promise i’ll be right back to you so safe and so fast you won’t even notice i’m gone.”
gwen had a reassuring smile on her face, cupping your cheeks before swinging off. yeah, you knew it probably wasn’t true and she’d come crawling to you begging for the first aid kit. but it was comforting and you knew gwen would make sure she came back.
every. time.
— MAKING OUT
even when making out she still can’t help but just pull back and smile at you
if you start getting nervous or shy and look away from her, she makes SURE to fix that
even if she’s not necessarily looking at you like if she’s kissing your chest or pressing feathery pecks on your collarbone, she wants you to watch her just because
“don’t you dare get all shy on me now,” gwen tells you, voice barely above a whisper. “you’re so beautiful, i wanna see your face. please?”
gwen won’t tell you out loud but she loves to flaunt her strength and she thinks she’s lowkey with it
if you guys start kissing and it starts getting intense she may literally pick you up from the bottom of your thighs, wrap your legs around her waist, and just carry you wherever
she loves when you sit in her lap or straddle her
gwen’s always tugging on you in some way to get you guys as impossibly close to each other than you already are
will literally grab you by the ass and pull you closer to her while you’re in her lap and she’s already leaned in to you 10x closer than she needs to be
she loves kissing your neck to give you a break from the intensity
this is where her nibbling comes to play because she will literally kiss all the way up to your ear and start softly nibbling on it, then kisses your jawline
gwen also bites your lower lip, you guys could be kissing and all of a sudden she’s holding you still and pulling your lower lip towards her
she just likes to tease you until she actually starts to really kiss you
gwen is actually such a crazy teaser because she plays way too much even if she’s impatient herself and it gets the a point she may just make you ask or sum
"you're so so pretty," gwen whispers, looking down at you as she begins to kiss your neck again, her mouth slowly tracing her way down to your shoulders.
she looks up at you again, wanting to do nothing more but gaze into your eyes and get lost.
“do you want me to keep going?" gwen whispers softly.
she could feel your heartbeat thundering against your chest, the warmth of your skin almost overwhelming. nothing made her want this moment to end. “gwen,” you said sternly only to be met with her face having one eyebrow up with a questionable expression. “yes.”
"please say it again...”
yes, she does like to mess with you but it also comes from a place of reassurance
she wants to know that you want her because she has self doubt with that
so when you let it small whimpers or moan? grab onto her for support? she’s in heaven.
it just conveys to her that she’s doing a good job but most importantly, you’re enjoying yourself
she also just likes hearing it because it just does something to her
however, she does NOT want you making much noise if either of your parents/guardians are around
if her dad is home and she’s biting your earlobe she will put her hand gently on your mouth to muffle any noise you may make
and if you guys are making out and you moan a bit loud in her mouth she will cup your face so hard to make the sounds quieter between you two
“you’re gonna have to be a little more quiet,” she giggled against your skin, “i don’t think we want my dad busting down my door… or thinking we’re doing something else.”
if worse comes to worse she will play loud music that isn’t bad enough to the point where her dad will start knocking on her door but loud enough where he knows not to disturb her and also mask any noise
gwen’s hand placement goes crazy
she will hold your neck softly while you guys makeout just to keep you in place and control how close your face is to hers
she’ll also grab the back of your neck like your nape and just hold you firmly there
gwen is also a hair puller if you have enough for it
she will always find her hands tangled in your hair whether it be twirling your curls, gliding her hands thru your braids, to just straight gripping a handful of it hard and pulling you towards her
it’s not like she means to do it or does it on purpose but if she hears you react? yeah she’ll do it more.
“you…you like that? gosh i love it when you get all flustered like this.”
but there’s nothing she loves more than when you grab her hair
when your hand makes its way to the nape of her neck and grips onto her hair from there she may let out like a little whimper and she will get SOOOOO embarrassed by it
she will literally let out a moan into your mouth when you just grip her hair and it’s just so not like her to act like the flustered one around you too because she really be thinking she’s the flirtation master of our generation
“sorry i- oh my god i can’t believe i did that… you just do that to me i guess.”
she looks shyly at you for a few more moments.
“can you do it again?”
sometimes her hands wander and she touches the skin under your shirt, thighs and legs too if you wear skirts
gwen just likes to feel you and it’s just her tracing circles, massaging, and caressing her skin
she’ll fondle your chest and waist because she just likes to feel you all around
if the kiss is really passionate she’ll start gripping on your skin
this girl has no self control like sometimes she really loses herself in these kisses because she gets all lip drunk and all she can think about is you and how much she loves you
the slower the kiss, the happier she’ll be
sometimes she gets too excited and doesn’t even like lick your bottom lip or tell you in anyway she wants to deepen the kiss or do more so she just goes all in and you’re just cupping her face in shock
she’s also guilty of creating… friction
gwen literally can’t stay still and if her figiting with your hands wasn’t a warning of that then i don’t know what to tell you
she rocks you back and forth, rolls your hips at each other, grabs you and let you glide up and down on her
gwen just can’t ever not have constant movement and maybe that’s a parallel to how chaotic her life is
just you both shuffled against each other after a long day of being the ghost spider is so relieving to her to just know she has someone to put up with her
gwen couldn't say anything due to the overwhelming feeling of every one of her senses right now. the way that her hand is on your hip,guiding you slowly and she’s not even thinking of it. she was on autopilot. getting lost in your lips, your mouth, your body, just all you. both of your bodies rocked back in forth as she held you tight in her embrace, her kiss slow and tender, love evident in the way she took her time with you. always.
she leaned back, admiring your beauty and how flushed you look. from the messed up clothes, to the saliva on your lips, the way you just stared at her with adoration.
gwen’s eyes go wide as her cheeks grow pinker, her smile slightly expanding. she’s so happy to be able to show you how much you really mean to her.
"i love you... so much…”
she pulls your face back down to hers, her lips glued to yours, her body rocking against yours. gwen starts to kiss down your neck, her eyes closing tightly to take everything in.
she knows when your legs start to get weak or you get exhausted and she WILL be there to support you, trust
gwen likes when you try to fight her if she’s in control of the kiss she just thinks it adds to the fun and intimacy
like if your tongue starts swirling around here like some thumb war type beat (i refuse to say “their tongues battled for dominance”)
gwen is a messy kisser like she will stay there until you’re losing oxygen and pulls back looking completely enamored by your lips smudged with saliva and the short string that appeared when your heads parted
likes when you grip her clothes, will grip yours
traces your lips with her finger, rubs her thumb on your bottom lip to admire you
will stare at your lips and if you say anything about it she will act so nonchalant like she’s not completely embarrassed
“what? i’m simply just enjoying the view.”
she can spend hours kissing you. tho maybe not you because you don’t have the crazy stamina like her… but she’s fine with that
overall, gwen just loves kissing because she wants to feel you close and also sees it as a physical action that can compensate for all the time she may miss out on because of her alter ego. but it’s also reassuring that you’re there for her. your kisses and intimate moments are just pure comfort to her because you’re the one she loves, and nothing could bring her more joy.

just this once, okay? | bruce yamada x fem!reader
part one part two part three part four part five part six part seven part eight part nine PART TEN
y'all im so sorry i disappeared with no warning but i've been like a disgusting amount of sick this past week, but i'm back and finally publishing the last chapter of this series YAY okay bye
there's also a clara reid playlist now because i love her sm, you should go check it out OKAY BYE.
taglist: @bettyssneaker @ellemfaoh @finneysbaseball @urfavkorean @retirement-home @sweetrabbit @inumakihearts @zekegorilla @godscnt
when a crushing and helpless bruce yamada seeks aid from an unaware and breezy y/n, he suggests they fake date in order to make his crush jealous. what could go wrong? they were friendly, and y/n was beautiful. bruce’s plan is fool proof. at least that’s what he thinks.
a/n: for the sake of the story, everyone is the same age (16-17) and in junior year of high school, except gwen, who is a freshman. and the grabber doesn't exist because i said so.
"um, can we talk?"
you stood there, mouth opening and closing multiple times. about a million thoughts ran through your head, each making you more nervous. your mouth felt dry, your hands felt clammy, and your cheeks were burning.
"y/n?" bruce's soft voice called, snapping you out of your trance. "you okay?"
"yeah, yeah, i'm okay, i just, um," you stumbled, raising your embarrassment level from one to ten, "yeah, let's talk."
bruce let out a sigh of relief, swaying side to side as he waited for you to step out. "wanna go to the library? or we can go to the old playground, if you want."
you two decided on the playground, seeing as the weather was perfect for it. your hair billowed with the wind, and bruce tried not to stare at your rosy cheeks.
you sat down on one of the rusty swings, kicking a few rocks as you did so. bruce took a seat on the one next to yours, watching as the birds flew around, their wings spread out beautifully.
it was a bit odd, sitting there with bruce, neither of you saying a single word, but also rather comforting. it had been a while since the two of you were in one another's company like this, and you had to admit that you missed it.
"so, i talked to clara." bruce spoke up, looking over at you.
your heart sped up, and you found yourself praying for the worst. "oh, you did? what did she say?"
bruce fixed his posture, straightening up. "well, she didn't have a crush on me."
"she didn't?" your face scrunched in confusion. "but then, who did she have a crush on— oh." bruce snickered at this, covering his mouth with his hand. "me? clara liked me?"
"yes, she did." bruce smiled comfortingly.
"me? really?" you grinned lightly, making bruce a little nervous.
"oh, do you like girls too?" he asked. "because if you do, that's totally okay, and i won't tell anyone if you don't want me to."
"no, bruce, it's okay, i don't— well, it's not that." you interrupted, placing your hand on his forearm. "i actually have to talk to you about something."
"wait, let me go first." bruce cut in urgently. "i've wanted to tell you this for a while now, actually, but i always stopped myself because i was too scared, but y'know, i'm not scared anymore, so, yeah!"
you blinked multiple times, hoping he could see that you were beyond confused.
"right, sorry." he said, running his hand across his face in exasperation. "okay. here goes, y/n." you placed your chin in your hand, letting bruce know that you were intrigued. "i like you. like, really, like you, like, it's almost embarrassing how much i like you, and it really killed me when you ended the plan and left, because i was gonna tell you right then and there, but, yeah."
your jaw dropped, and you were frozen in your seat. your mouth couldn't form any sort of sounds, even though all you wanted to do in that moment was throw your arms around him and tell him the feeling is mutual.
in reaction to your silence— and expression— bruce's shoulders fell, and he began to stand up. "but i totally understand that you don't feel the same way, and that's okay, we can stay friends—"
"what? i don't want to be friends!" you exclaimed, kicking another rock.
bruce stood up, beginning to walk away. "well, that's real nice. you could've just said 'no thanks' or something."
"no!" you said, grabbing his hand quickly. "what i mean is, i like you too. the feeling is mutual, or whatever— look, the point is, i really like you, bruce. in the most embarrassing way possible, i like you. so, no, i don't want to be 'just friends' anymore."
bruce grinned, taking a step towards you. "you mean it? you're not just saying this out of pity, are you?"
"bruce!" you chuckled, slapping his arm gently.
his smile widened, and he picked you up in his arms tightly, spinning you around happily. "after we started the whole fake-dating plan it was like i never even liked clara. i like you. like, really like you."
"well, why didn't you just tell me that?" you said.
"i didn't want to ruin this. i really love hanging out with you, and i didn't want to lose you." bruce smiled sheepishly.
"aw, that's so corny." you teased.
"yeah, i guess you're right." bruce shrugged. "well, do you wanna be my girlfriend? for real this time?"
"well, duh!" you grinned, wrapping your arms around him. "vance is gonna be thrilled to hear this, y'know?"
"was that sarcastic or serious?" bruce asked— genuinely curious.
"serious, for the most part." you said. "he's been listening to me talk about this for a while now, so, i might owe him a couple of pinball games and slushies."
"sucks to be you, then." bruce teased, earning an elbow to the rib from you. "fine, i'll help out." he placed his hands on your shoulders, turning you slightly to face him. "can i kiss you for real this time?"
you nodded, eyes fluttering closed as bruce leaned in slowly. somehow, it felt both the same and different than the kiss you shared at donna's birthday party. your lips moved in sync with his, sending a wave of electricity down your spine.
the two of you pulled apart shortly after, resting your foreheads together. bruce was as giddy as a little kid on christmas, and you were beyond happy. everything was perfect, and now all you had left to do was explain everything to your families.
Tumblr media
your parents were beyond confused as you and bruce explained everything. wyatt and allie couldn't have cared less about the explanation, but allie was thrilled to have her puzzle buddy back.
mr. and mrs. yamada's expressions were blank when you and bruce sat down and talked to them. amy was chewing gum with the most judgmental look on her face. nonetheless, they all understood.
you took the liberty of explaining to vance, finney, and robin, who all cheered for you supportively. finney and robin did a happy dance while vance brought you in for a hug— something almost as rare as a shooting star.
going back to school on monday was somewhat exciting for you and bruce. over the weekend, word had spread that the two of you had gotten back together. (you all figured it would be best not to explain the fake-dating situation to anyone else.)
you walked in with griffin— who made it a habit in his year of sixth grade to walk along with you to stay close. once he walked off with his friends, you made your way to your locker, where bruce was waiting.
"hey, you!" he called, grinning widely. one of his hands held the chunky english textbook, and the other was held out for you to hold, which you did, of course.
"you're awfully giddy today." you pointed out, making his smile grow even more.
"it's not fake anymore, y/n/n." he whispered, leaning closer to you. "this isn't fake anymore, of course i'm giddy."
the rest of the day went by exactly like this, with you and bruce by one another's side whenever possible, and vance rolling his eyes at every cute thing you did.
during lunch, you spotted donna and clara eating together at the old picnic tables. you noticed the hand-holding, but chose not to say anything as it would be rude.
when you caught donna's eye, she grinned widely, all but confirming your suspicion. you were happy that donna and clara were together, they both deserved to be happy.
later that day, you went over to donna's house, where she spilled the beans about her and clara. "yes, we're dating, but we don't want to tell anyone yet! you know how rude people can be, and besides, we've only been dating for a couple of days, it's still new." she gushed, her cheeks a tinge of pink.
lucas wouldn't stop teasing bruce all day, saying 'i told you so' every five seconds. at one point, vance told him to 'shut up about it, already,' which ended the playful banter.
"hey, y/n," bruce turned to you in physics class, "will you give me the answer to number nine? please?"
you raised an eyebrow at him, only receiving pleading eyes in return. "fine, but, just this once, okay?"

I have Thoughts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Caleb: probably the "pretty guy" of the season. Either a little manipulative or very nice.
Nichelle & Julia: the reason im pairing these up is because a) even though their names aren't together like Wayne & Raj, Nichelle is the only one who's facing the other way, and she's next to Julia; b) their designs are kinda in one style. I think they're like. Bloggers. Blogger friends. Maybe a bit nasty, but still chill.
Bowie: gay gay homosexual gay. I love his design sm. Its a bit ugly but its funky.
Wayne & Raj: gay gay homosexual gay. They're like Sadie & Katie but not annoying and theyre like hockey (or smth im not sure) bros.
Emma: The Rich Nice Girl.
MK: she gives me "quirky" girl vibes tbh. she seems to be the annoying one. like not the usual annoyibg girl but like the annoying to me specifically. But I hope she's not because i love her she's so small. MK stands for Mary-Kate cause mary kate and ashley i hope you understand that i love you a lot and i wanna be your man-
Priya: The Nice Girl.
Millie: no thoughts head empty. I can't say anything besides "nice girl #72726156383 of td"
Ripper: Nowennnn . Ok but anyway, Rippee is witty, sarcastic and mean. I can see him getting far. (punch me if im Wrong.) Also I hope hes gay.
Damien: Uh. No thoughts. Its like with Millie.
Axel: Woooaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhwooaaaaaa......... She seems VERY important!!!! She seems like a finalist. She's Tanque Grunt (if you know you know)... Anyway i see her like as chill but also very competitive. Kind of an amalgamation of s1 Gwen and Sky mayhaps. But also a hint of Jo. also i hope shes gay
Chase: ughhhhhgg. he seems like another one of those Nice ones. Anyway he seems like the typical main guy whos gonna get the girl and all my suspicions lay to axel . but i hope axel is gay
Zee: HES SO SWAGGY I LOVE HIM.
Scary Girl: love from first sight. I think her real name is gonna be a gag, like come on, ofc fresh would do that. Whem she arrives to the island she's interrupted, when shes about to say it she gets hit or smth, when she's eliminated shes far in the distance for us to hear. So i think she'll stay as Scary Girl. and like as i said i dont think she'll stay far but not like early elimination either.

Started following Shefani recently so not really up to date on all of their idiosyncrasies. Noticed that Gwen has been silent on social media while they have been on vacation, is this normal? I know that she tries to keep the boys presence on SM to a minimum but nothing of her or Blake. I’m aware of the tabloid stories but her silence on SM makes the thought creep in that maybe something is wrong. Just trying to get some more background as I haven’t followed the entire relationship.
Gwen use to be on SM so often that the fandom got addicted to it. The ebbing off started with King not wanting to be on SM so much, and many believe Blake might have asked her to back off a bit. It really started with her meeting Blake with bits and pieces during S7 of the Voice, and then really ramping up in S9. Once they were formally out there as a couple it went out the roof.
So, we are now forced to live with a much-reduced output on Gwen's part, but she still surprises us with some sweet moments. It is my belief why she went so crazy in the beginning, was because she was beginning the second phase of her life with her soul mate, and it felt so refreshing and made her feel alive. It was almost like she was a teenager again madly in love with her boyfriend. It is how she acted and still does. What is interesting is when she wrote "This is What the Truth Feels Like) album, is that it is a bit bi-polar. It starts off with sad and mad songs and the second half all about falling in love. Even her writers saw it happen. The lyrics tell a lot.
Those of us that have been around awhile are not worried about them breaking up. They have been attracted to each other ever since they met. During S7 they were intrigued with each other, and Blake, with his humor, made her feel better when she as on set.
Both of them believe their relationship was meant to be, and that everything that happened before was a test/preparation for what they are enjoying now.
Anyone that has met them have all said the same thing that you can just tell that they are just madly in love with each other. Just as much today, as it was 7 years ago.
Since you are a bit behind, there are a couple of blogs here that you might want to explore. @shefaniquotes , whose blog is dedicated to statement Blake and Gwen have said about each other, as well as others that provide insights from the outside. @blakegwenstory is the full timeline with lots of backup. Unfortunately, it is in reverse order, with the beginning on the bottom. Shefani Archive (shefani-archive.info) is a web site run by "Nicole", and Aussie. She is not active on Tumblr anymore, but her site documents a lot from articles, videos, pap photos, you name it. Nicole pays for the pap photos out her pocket (accepts donations). And finally, I have been keeping timeline documents in PDF, starting with the original from Tumblr developed from the very beginning, and I have since added one document for each year. I do update them on occasions because as I find out about more stuff, I update the applicable document. MediaFire - File sharing and storage made simple
It has been fun to be on the journey with them. I have always called their relationship a Harlequin romance novel being written in real time.

SOMEONE ELSE WHOSE FAV GWEN MOMENT IS HER RETCONNING RHYS 🤝🤝🤝 briefly became the joker of my friend group for saying how much I love that scene. it's a delight
ITS A GREAT SCENE they were worried abt leaving it in the ep bc they knew it'd polarize fans + i know a lot of ppl do in fact hate that scene (gwen bashers who cant handle women's wrongs 🙄) but i love it. im a rhys enjoyer + i think he deserves the best AND i love how fucked up gwen treats him, these things can coexist. gwen and rhys are easily the most compelling canon relationship in tw to me just cuz they feel very real - we spend the most time with them and we see their ups and downs so often. i love how they oscillate between lowkey toxic as hell (people always hold gwen to a high standard but there was def a few times rhys made me 😬 over how he talked to her, too) and cute + stable. i love how theyre fucked up too, like with rhys being an everyman they could've easily kept him & gwen's relationship in a very boring uneventful place but no theyre nuanced anyway n i love it.
and with gwen! it's such a good peek into what kind of person she is (/pos - well, /pos in a sense of like 'i don't judge characters for their actions, i judge characters for being boring, so if a character compels me by having a shitty moment THAT'S wonderful'). i love the manipulativeness of it, the selfishness and desperation. gwen's 'tell me im good tell me im good tell me im good' (dee from iasip) moment hfsdjkds. she doesnt need genuine forgiveness (in a sense of rhys going "i know what you did and i forgive you for it"), she just wants empty words to give herself some peace of mind, bc if she actually told him she'd risk losing him and she isn't willing to let him go... i love that. i love it sm.
also interesting that it's featured in an episode about base human nature, about humans being stripped back to what's underneath, specifically the ugly bits - one of the themes of gwen's character is that she's a very "have my cake and eat it, too" sort. she's constantly trying to balance things that aren't compatible, like there's... mmm i can't think of or find a vocabulary word that implies an emotional/relational sort of greed dhsfkj. but that's present with her character as an underlying theme, it's like she spreads herself thin but not necessarily in a way that's detrimental to her? it's like she has this perpetual need to juggle many things just to prove to herself that she can. maybe she needs the stimulation, i dunno. i think it's an interesting quality. i think it's also something she's not necessarily proud of, maybe she feels gluttonous in it, which is why i mention it in the context of the 'combat' episode, where mark harps on and on about how modern men are angry and frustrated but not allowed to be, and how he thinks they should give into that base emotion in order to evolve. gwen does her own version of this, with pride/greed instead of wrath - she gives into her own selfishness, and her character evolves as a result. not for the better, according to some, but i personally find gwen's moral devolution super compelling. (also, on another note, the men feeling justified in giving into their ugly rage even though it's not socially acceptable, and in fact it not being socially acceptable makes them even more interested in doing it - but the woman giving into a cruel instinct but feeling intense guilt and shame for it even though it's a private moment... sounds about right.)
also ive said this elsewhere but in the director's commentary of that ep burn gorman was clapping his hands and giggling over that scene HFKSJDH one of us

Ranking gen one characters bc I’m bored (super biased)
Ezekiel: didn’t like him one bit, misogynistic and boring. His only personality trait is getting voted off first
Duncan: lowkey kinda love him but he did cheat on Courtney and was an overall asshole after first season, season one Duncan was on top tho
Eva: just didn’t really get the chance to do anything so it feels wrong to put her any higher
Owen: annoying, got better in season 3 but still annoying and didn’t deserve the season one win
Beth: also kinda annoying, idk just didn’t like her that much and honestly she didn’t deserve to win action
Gwen: controversial but I don’t really like her, she’s just kind of boring and she did kiss Courtney’s bf (obv I blame Duncan more but still)
Blainely: obv annoying but I can’t act like she didn’t eat every time she talked
Trent: sweet, nice, just kind of boring in my opinion and not that memorable
Sadie and katie: putting them together bc they’re literally the same person, they were fun but just didn’t get much screen time
Harold: hilarious, just not one of my favs (but I love him and leshawna)
Geoff: super sweet, literally ken, but again just not one of my favs
Cody: he was funny and I liked him but he was kinda weird in season one and I feel like he just kinda got a taste of his own medicine in season 3 (obv what he did with Gwen is nothing compared to sierra)
Bridgett: love her sm but I just feel like after season one her whole personality was just that she was dating Geoff
Justin: didn’t like him that much in Island but he was actually hilarious in action, one of my favs for season 2
Izzy: super funny, super smart, iconic, queen, and I’m a firm believer of the “Izzy isn’t crazy” theory
Noah: we love a sarcastic king, wish he wasn’t eliminated so early in season one. Lowkey was unfairly eliminated in world tour (I quote him regularly)
Dj: so so so sweet, love him sm literally nothing bad to say abt him, he was unfairly eliminated every time. Loved his friendship with Lindsay in world tour
Tyler: we love a good himbo, he was so much fun and I love lyler, second fav guy on the show
Sierra: (I moved her up) idc what people say abt her she is one of the best characters and carried world tour, she’s literally me what can I say
Leshawna: such a queen, unfairly eliminated in island and world tour, literally so real all of the time
Alejandro: my man my man. Literally only up here bc he’s fine af 😍
Heather: she was soooo iconic, and even if she was kind of horrible she definitely had her redemption in world tour, loved her as a protagonist in the final rather than the bad guy
Courtney and Lindsay: literally cannot choose between them they’re both so amazing. Lindsay is my fav bimbo, she’s just so sweet and I love her sm. And courtney will always be my fav, even after she started getting worse after Island she was still iconic and always will be

i'm glad that's better now! and omg that's so exciting!! it's gonna be so beautiful omg <33
i'm doing good! TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FINALLY 😭 so i'm super excited to just be done with school and exams lol 😭
YES IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER LIKE 😭 i don't have any words bc it was like perfect. there was nothing bringing it down a bit, there was no little problems it was PERFECT. and there's an INDIAN SPIDERMAN?? that literally made me so happy 🥺 AND OMG HOBIE IS MY FAV HE'S SO- ALSO ALSO JESSICA IS SUCH A BADASS I LOVE HER 😭
ugh- i just- everything about it was just too good!! and like major props to all the artists who worked on it bc i could pause that movie at any point and it would create a beautiful picture that i could put up. AND OMG DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FACT THAT HE WENT TO THE WRONG UNIVERSE AND THAT THAT MILES WAS THE PROWLER AND OMG 😭 ANDDDDD OMG THE END WHEN THE SCREEN WENT BLACK....i swear my heart skipped a beat and then when it said 'to be continued' i literally screamed "NO" in the movie theatre 😭
i’m so sorry for the late reply nova <33
BUT YAYYYY SUMMER HOLIDAY!!!!! 🥹😭 im so happy for you ik how much you wanted to be done with school.
also how was your birthday? :D 💓💓
I ABSOLUTELY 100% AGREE!!!! IT WAS PERFECT. i truly expected no less but it’s so hard not to be amazed by it. the attention to detail in the animation is incredible— and the storytelling and arcs and how complex each character is???? INSANE. and the humour?? ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS PLAYING IN THE THEATERS!!!!!😭😭😭 apparently they’re minor differences like changes in dialogue or how something looks, etc., but oh my god. they’re really making it like a multiverse im just in awe.
PAVITR WAS SO CUTE I LOVED HIM SM 😭😭😭 <33 i hope we see a LOT more of him in the next movie! it’s so heartwarming to see people’s reaction to him being in the film🥹 it just shows how important diversity is in media. which is a whole other tangent i could go off on regarding the spiderverse films ESPECIALLY this one bc they really just do an incredible job. like i don’t think some people get how meaningful and powerful it is to have hundreds of different spider people from all walks of life, showing how anyone can be hero :( it makes me wanna cry
HOBIE IS SO ICONIC 😭 HES SUCH A HEARTTHROB
AND YES JESSICA TOO!!! MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I SAW SHE WAS PREGNANT I WAS LIKE THATS AMAZING
BROOOOO MY FRIEND WAS LIKE “the prowler has to be miles” I WAS LIKE ???? AND THEN SHE WAS RIGHT I WAS SHOCKED 😭😭
i still cannot believe they did that to us 😔 my heart dropped too, i was like it can’t be.. AND THEN IT WAS 😭 im honestly glad they didn’t rush it though bc we had so many character arcs in this film. gwens and miles’ and miguels and i feel like peters too a little bit? and then the spot is still there, and then miguel turns out to be an antagonist PLUS miles in the wrong universe + that vers of him being the prowler. it just makes sense to have a third film. IM SO EXCITED FOR IT
ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK WAS SOOOOO GOOD 🥹

Assigning 25ji commissioned songs to Katie McGrath characters
Is this a shitpost? We’ll never know I guess.
1. Lena - Tricologe and kanadetomosusora
None of the commissioned songs really fit her, but the vibes on this one are nice. I suppose since the event is a kanade focus and as we know a huge part of her character is a sense of penance, she needs to save people through her music to make up for hurting her father. This is kind of how lena feels this obligation to her family name, to make up for lex’s crimes. The song alludes to things like being a “prisoner of life” and the section that is the singer being drawn to a glittering masquerade, but is pulled back (in the original mv). I think this can very abstractly being tied to Lena’s desire to express herself and put herself out there (#3Epilled) but being unable to make her vulnerable, shackled by her betrayals in life. This song can also apply to morgana in a similar fashion but I already have 3 songs chosen for her (and it doesn’t fit as well)
Kanadetomosora because the song revolves around reaching for something more and a lot of the imagery in the mv is the characters looking out windows and kanade reaching for the sky, the last few lyrics filled are filled with hope as something finally resonates (tie back to the event as kanade makes Mafuyu smile with her song),,, hmm Lena’s desire to trust another but feeling shackled by her past and her eventual growing closeness to Kara
Idsmile is more supercorp, of which I wrote an explanation for months ago. Basically just another addition to why supergirl is hella queer-coded, if Kara can tell her secret to Lena and still stay connected or if she could live in this world hiding a part of herself away from Lena, continuing the status quo. Also thinking abt how there’s a lyric that goes “the boundaries begin to blur” and there’s an episode in supergirl called “blurred lines” funny coincidence (and Kara says that one line “for a friend like you, there are no boundaries” which just reminds me of mizuena sm)
2. Morgana - Bug, saisei and nomad
ironically Mafuyu and morgana r incredibly different characters , secretly all the 25ji characters r just the Merlin core 4 send tweet /hj (Gwen is kanade, Merlin is mizuki, Arthur is Mafuyu, morgana is ena)
I like the duality of the song choices. Bug is mainly for its vibe and the sort of chaotic melody it has, the lyrics being a jumbled mess of repeating words. I think it kind of embodies morgana’s later season desperation and descent into despair. morgana’s entire arc is the sunk cost fallacy, lololol, she’s gone too fair, sacrificed too much for nothing in the end, but she can never truly let go can she? It’s also the most aggressive/forceful of all 25ji songs and it fits morgana being the sx4 triple reactive limbic mf we all know and love Also bug is a banger
NOW FOR SAISEI, I will never get over this one
IT HAS SO MUCH YEARNING AND WONDERING HOW THINGS WENT WRONG AND THE FACT THAT THERES A LYRIC THAT IS “IF THIS WAS JUST A SHALLOW NIGHTMARE, I COULD FORGIVE EVERYTHING” screaming crying throwing up, like I know morgana doesn’t really do this in canon and is like “lol everyone turned on me I’m right” BUT IT FITS MY VISION SO WELL. like the fact she lives her life with monotony, in which her life is reduced to seeking out revenge on Arthur (which I truly believe is psychological displacement) and to defeat emyrs, and also because the writers forgot to develop her character and she became one dimensional lol. The lyrics about wanting to return to long long ago and asking oneself “was it fine like this” scream morgwen and my belief that morgana enchanted Gwen also to have this companionship back, Gwen is a void no one else and nothing else could fill. Please see my vision.
Forgot to write a nomad explanation but it hinges on my headcanons for morgana that basically rewrite her to be 3V, just me thinking abt that line in that dream in s4 where Merlin asks “is this really what you wanted morgana?” I HATE THAT THEY GAVE US THAT IDEA AND NEVER ADDRESSED IT AGAIN??? Song fits bc yearning there, good enough (nomad makes me so emotional it’s such an underrated song it makes me so upset </3)
3. Lucy - Kimi no Yoruwo Kure
just read the lyrics oh my god, it’s also a really sweet mellow song so I think it fits her vibes, like at least in her vulnerable soft moments. WHY IS ALL OF KATIE MCGRATH’S CHARACTERS SO MIZUKI CODED. I think idsmile, lower, and kimi no yoruwo kure all have really really similar themes but the difference in how they go about it. Idsmile is more about hiding ones identity and a yearning for things staying the sam, lower reads as more of fight for staying together, being on the edge of telling; makes sense cause it’s a mizuena event and with ena swearing to stay by mizuki’s side until they can tell their secret. Kimi no yoruwo kure’s lyrics at least, seem like a gentle resignation, it has very Lofi sleepy vibes, a yearning for a “today” that won’t disappear. Which idk is more Lucy than any other character based on their vibes/ temperaments alone.
4. Sarah - Composing the future
haha emo song but the song puts a lot of focus on the past and being unable to move on from it. Nothing else I don’t really remember that much from slasher but yeah,,, I just needed to put smth
5. Saskia- Keitai Renwa and Lower
yes I had to pull out the mizuena songs for this, like come one the whole theme of being unable to admit one’s own feelings and unrequited love? come on (yes this applies to like 4/5 characters here but these just have Saskia vibes, and it’s a huge focus of her character). Keitai renwa also has lyrics that feel like they’re counting down to something?? Totally not olivia’s impending marriage/engagement,,, lower and keitai renwa both have more of a forceful fight for love and yearning than some of the other songs here, #saskiapilled
Lower honestly reminds me of morgwen too, which is my fav ship ever and i even made an art piece that had lyrics and one of them was from lower </3
which I will copy and paste and explanation for it lol
If you stay here with me: this is morgana's line, Gwen is the only person from Camelot she was willing to make some kind of peace with and trust, she so deeply desires staying with Gwen, they genuinely cared for each other so dearly and much of what morgana did is in some way motivated by Gwen (like the episode to kill the king)
if I could just keep you from leaving: but in Gwen point of view all she sees is morgana's turn to evil as a departure from their friendship (thus the leaving line) , she doesn't know how to help her but I believe she wanted to try and save her
Morgana views her action of offering Gwen mercy as "staying here" while Gwen sees morgana's turn as "leaving" this resulting in an insurmountable difference as they are pulled apart from each other, unable to connect again
Sorry to jackpot sad girl, infinitely gray, and I nandesu (I made this post before this song existed lmao it’s been sitting in my drafts 4eva) for not adding u, I couldn’t figure out a reasonable explanation

For the SVU asks thing: 10, 13, 15, and 17! :) absolutely love your blog btw!
hey! thanks sm — i really appreciate it <3
10.) best olivia hair season
listen i am BISEXUAL, mariska has always looked incredible regardless of the hairstyle — HOWEVER, i do happen to love her with longer hair.
i would say my top styles are: season 1 bob, season 8 BANGSSSSSS, current season (23) waves, and that straight middle part shoulder length from season 17
13. least fave character past/present
oof, well all the perps are disgusting (thats a given). so it depends, i HATE that one DA bucanon? or however tf his name is spelled, but you’re supposed to hate him…so? not sure if that works?
if its least faves that we were supposed to like, number one is kim greyleck. i was/am a huge casey novak stan so seeing her right after already made me biased but she was horrible with the victims. could not stand her.
as for current? the new guy. something with a v? he replaced kat which was a blow to me as a queer :/ i don’t find him likable at all and i’m kind of upset the show replaced a queer woman of color with him. idk! just me tho??
15. which character dresses the best?
i better not get shit on for this but—
every. single. outfit. that angela wheatley wore, i would rock in a HEARTBEAT. mama came in, blew up kathy, then brought it to the runway.
also liv’s coats??? idk if y’all can tell from the breakdowns but i’m so into the trench coats and blazers. 10/10.
17. all time favorite episode
with a show that has 500 episodes, there’s no way i’d be able to choose just one!
some faves (& why):
slaves (S1) - the psych evals. the minute i fell in love with each character…oof. from cragen’s break, to olivia’s breakdown, to munch’s callout, then monique and elliot?? so good. and this is when i really realized how much me and olivia are alike! so yep, a top contender for sure!!
night (S6) - again, love casey novak and when she got hurt we got to see a vulnerable side of a character who was pretty reassured and tough. plus mrs. potts, doc oc, AND rocket raccoon?? amazing
raw (S7) - this was just a really good plot twisty episode and shocked me the first time i saw it with it’s ending. tough to stomach as a jewish person, though.
blast (S7) - AS A MELINDA WARNER STAN, i have nothing more to say. what a queen 💅🏼
(can i say all of season 9????)
zebras (S10) - yes, for bensler, but also for gwen 🥺 i love carol kane so much ugh
perverted (S11) - all the bensler vibes but also a damn good episode.
(here’s where i confess that i’m catching up on svu i’ve missed and my knowledge of episodes is a little weak when it comes to seasons (11-21). i’ve just finished 16, 17, 18, so i’m catching up!! but apologies if ive missed a good episode!!)
“benson in trouble” (multiple seasons) - idk if i can call them favorites because that sounds wrong(?), but as a survivor i really find it cathartic to watch the episodes where olivia is in trouble (the william lewis arc, the townhouse incident, etc.). my therapist says it’s because i feel a sense of control and know what what’s about to happen, know that she will survive it and bc i see myself like her, i feel a sense of relief. tmi? ahhh
unholiest reunion (S17) - just a thrilling episode!!
heartfelt passages (S17) - dodds…. and tucker/liv!
gone baby gone (S19) - cmon, so good. but also i just love any and all scenes ever that we get of olivia being a mom
part 33 (S20) - very interesting introspect on the behind the scenes of the detectives. i really enjoyed this debate and honestly was captivated by their reactions.
the return of the prodigal son (S22) - i mean… i don’t need to explain this one.
(ALL of organized crime. no joke, i think i like it more than the current episodes of svu. i much prefer how they are writing their characters!!)

Hey, I was looking for some new reading material and wondered if you could give me some recs? Please and thank you sm!
ho BOY anon, COULD I! I’ve got over 2,000 bookmarks on AO3 - what are we looking for? I’m going to assume IronDad, or at the very least Peter Parker-centric; short or long? MJ or Gwen Stacy? Angst, fluff, whump? Sorry this took a minute; I went into the vault for you and pulled out some rare gems:
LONG FICS
In the Home by @captainkirkk | 68k
The Avengers have been infected, turned violent and aggressive against their will. And Peter, the only one unaffected, is trapped inside the Tower with six feral teammates.
“Natasha,” Peter says cautiously, “what happened here? Steve attacked me, and if there was ever a sign that something was wrong, it’s having the embodiment of Truth, Justice, and the American Way throw you across the room—”
Natasha comes closer, her stride controlled. Nothing necessarily out of the ordinary, but there’s something in her face, in her eyes—
Natasha lunges across the space, and slams into Peter, hard.
This just…hoo. A classic if I’ve ever seen one. There’s going to be plenty of aloneintherain on this list because she’s the bomb dot com and its no secret I’m in love. we Stan in this house; this might be my favorite Spidey fic ever written.
POW Avengers by Punny_Puck |122k
Tony Stark is thrown into a new Nazi POW camp. It’s his fifth–or sixth–and he’d really like to make it to his fiftieth escape attempt this time. But Stalag III isn’t like any of the other POW camps he’s been in. He suddenly finds himself facing an impossible task: Getting two-hundred and fifty men out of the camp in one massive escape attempt. And dammit if he’s not going to make it work.
Very impressive, very lengthy and detailed historical AU set in WWII. This one is more Tony than Peter, and quite a fair bit of Loki (this author does a great job with all the different POV’s, that’s why it’s so long!). Nice and juicy!
5 Times Peter Fell & Tony Caught Him, and The 1 Time He Didn’t by eva7673 | 35k
Peter has a nasty habit of falling. And Tony, bless him, will catch him every. single. time. Until the day he can’t.
I love this series with all of my heart, but especially this first fic! It’s the perfect amount of whump and IronDad, and oh man, that last time? GETS me. Eva definitely put in so much work on this series, and it SHOWS!
Twelve Days of Peter Parker by @upcamethesun | 27k
In each of the twelve days leading up to Christmas, Tony runs into one Peter Parker — for better or for worse.
In other words, an excuse for this author to write gratuitous Peter fluff/angst/nonsense with a Christmas theme, because ‘tis the season.
This fic is so cute I Die. Perfect bit of holiday nonsense! I read it every year lol. It’s got everything you’re looking for and more, to scratch the itch you didn’t know you had. 
ever in your favor by @iron–spider | 153k
Peter startles awake when someone shakes him.
“Sorry, honey,” May says. Peter blinks a couple times and she comes into focus, her hair pulled back from her face. She’s trying not to look a certain way, but he can see it in her eyes anyway. She clears her throat, keeps talking. “But it’s…” She glances away, wets her lips. “You gotta get ready.”
He remembers what day it is, and his heart beats like a drum at someone’s execution. But he tries to put on a mask, make it all seem normal. It’s everything but, despite the fact that he’s been dealing with reaping day since he was born, between himself, Ben and May. That fear that one of them could be taken away. Sent to surefire slaughter. But now Ben is gone, taken despite never having his name drawn from a bowl, and May’s finally safe. Now Peter’s name is in there alone. The last Parker sitting on the chopping block. He doesn’t know how to be. He doesn’t know what normal is, when the Hunger Games are looming on the horizon.
I mean…how could I possibly do a fic rec list without this on it? Iron–spider’s latest masterwork, and it truly is a masterwork. The Hunger Games AU your soul has been crying out for, and quite possibly the greatest AU to ever live. Do yourself a favor and get settled in - you’re in for a ride.
Magazineverse by @copperbadge | 56k
Heroes In Manhattan: From Captain America’s Hidden Talents To The Truth About The Hulk, We Debunk The Myths And Expose The Daily Lives Of The Avengers.
Avengers-centric, takes place post-2012. The Avengers team we deserve! The whole series is amazing, and I definitely didn’t see the twist coming (SO original, and you totally got me. Well played.)
MEDIUM FICS
devil in a sunday hat by @captainkirkk | 14k
Peter wishes he hadn’t gotten out of bed that morning. Then, maybe, he wouldn’t be reduced to this—limp-crawling through the rabbit burrows that is Oscorp Tower, a monster of a man on his heels, bloody and bruised and choking on a panic attack.
This series really speaks to Peter, and his experience as a street-level hero. I don’t think I’ve ever not cried reading this series - it’s really beautiful. Aloneintherain always manages to capture how much weight and anxiety sits on Peter’s shoulders - and how dire his consequences can really be.
5 things that change for Peter after the end of the world by @iron–spider | 14k
…and one thing that always remains the same.
(SPOILERS FOR INFINITY WAR)
Peter knows he’s different now.
The first three months were like a bubble. He didn’t think about the newness of his old life, he didn’t think about the state of the world now that it had been saved—he just worried. Worried about Tony and Steve recovering. Worried about May worrying about him. Worried about everything in general—he didn’t allow himself specifics because specifics didn’t make sense, not yet. He just focused on his routine, kept it normal, the same schedule every day so he didn’t throw himself off.
It felt like the bubble popped when the party ended, and everything became clearer. The differences in who he is now were highlighted, like there was a spotlight on his every move, like everybody could see the invisible scars the world-ending experience left on him.
The first thing he notices is the sleeping. Or lack thereof.
(a follow up to my story “the rattle of their hearts” from Peter’s POV. You can read this one without having read the original, but it would make more sense if you have read it!)
Everyone knows Rattle, and if you don’t, definitely read the first fic in this series! But this second one is really special to me (and MJ never fails to make me laugh out loud, every time). Peter’s PTSD is dealt with intimately in this fic, and I love it to bits.
the conspiracy kids by @tempestaurora | 13k
WHO IS SPIDER-MAN?
The screen showed Peter Parker, sixteen years old and determined to prove the identity of Spider-Man over the course of the three-part documentary he was making, unknowing that it would become viral within days of the first part being released. Behind the camera, way off screen, was Harley Keener, Tony Stark���s other prodigy child, grinning like crazy as Peter started the documentary. Only a few people knew what was to come, and those few people were about to have a great few weeks.
“My name is Peter Parker, and with the help of my friends, Ned Leeds, Harley Keener, and my Aunt, May Parker, who provided me with a lot of red yarn for this project, we’re going to uncover the identity of Spider-Man.”
OR
“what if peter just decided to fuck with everyone who didn’t know he was spider man and make a documentary about him trying to uncover the Truth.”
Looking for a fun, Peter-and-Harley-being-ridiculous-teenagers fic? This is the One For You. I can see it all in my head, and it never fails to make me laugh. Delightful piece of fluff and probably the best social-media-esque fic I’ve read.
Primary Reason Tony Stark Would Throw Down With An Anti-Vaxxer In The Street by @caraminha | 12k
Prompt from my Tumblr: Have you heard of tetanus? I’m studying it for school and it’s got lots of angst potential - it causes severe, seizure like muscle spasms which can break the patient’s bones, but they’re conscious and fully aware of what’s happening. It also causes fever and lockjaw, and difficulty breathing. I’d love to see an angst fic where Peter has bad tetanus and Tony and co are looking after him whilst his symptoms get worse and worse.
Looking for some Peter!whump? This fic is so sweet. Tony is Dad. What more do you need?
SHORT FICS
Come Together by @captainkirkk | 1.8k
From the ground, Tony squints at Thanos and the young heroes the villain is chasing through the city. “Are they…” Tony begins.
Steve, being lifted onto a gurney by starstruck paramedics, laughs a little. “Leading the man who almost destroyed the Earth in a wild goose chase?” In the sky, Johnny Storm sticks his tongue out at Thanos, ducking and weaving out of the villain’s grasp. “Yeah. I think they are.”
Didn’t I promise she’d be on here a billion and one times? All of her stuff is so good, for every fandom. Go READ this queen who’s been killing the game for years. This fic is such a sweet one, an Endgame fic before Peter was even in the MCU. It’s perfect.
Only Road by @garamonder | 2.8k
A rare breather between fighting should have been a relief for the Avengers. Instead, one small comment triggers a confrontation Peter had been avoiding for months.
Oh wow this one…this dialogue between Peter and Tony is incredible. One of my favorite things in a fic is a good argument, especially one where Peter has a distinct and mature point. 
Every Penny and More by Princessfbi | 1.2k
She forced herself to inhale air and hold it before releasing it from her lips. She grounded herself in the cheap vinyl in a crappy diner that she wasn’t sure she was ever going to be able to look at the same way again. She thought of the life Peter would have if she said yes because she knew that’s what all of this was about: Tony asking her permission to let him do this.
May and Tony co-parenting Peter is…oh, be still my heart. This is such a sweet little fic of something that definitely happened off-screen :’)
5 Times Spider-Man Saved An Avengers’ Ass (and the 1 Time They Saved Him) by TunaFishChris | 7.2k
What it says on the tin.
Going through an angsty Spider-Man phase. I regret nothing.
YES give me Peter x Avengers team! Peter gets a great moment with each of the Avengers, proving himself a capable hero (and getting assistance when he needs it the most :’) baby makes some friends!). Really cute, a fun little romp.
unbearable loss by @iron–spider | 1.6k
“Peter…he was so afraid, Pep,” Tony says, his voice breaking. “He…he just lunged for me, he was so afraid, he wanted—he needed someone to be there for him. And I tried, I tried—I held him, I told him he was alright, which was a—goddamn lie, and the only fucking thing that came out of my mouth. The last thing I said to him.” He shakes his head, swallowing hard. “The last thing I said to him was a lie.”
“You can’t blame yourself,” Pepper says, quietly.
“I do,” Tony says. “He trusted me. That kid trusted me, and I failed him every possible way I could have. I couldn’t save him, I couldn’t—he died in my arms and I couldn’t do one single solitary thing about it. And I couldn’t—me, the human fucking chatterbox—I just stared at him. He was dying, turning to fucking dust and apologizing to me and I just stared at him, like a moron.”
This fic Fucks. Me. Up. Iron–spider’s Tony angst is unparalleled. It hurts me every time, and the dialogue between him and Pepper is just…it’ll get you. 
yesterday, I saw a change by @captainkirkk | 6.8k
Inspired by prompt: ‘Peter is unmasked on live television, and everyone goes berserk—you’ve already heard this one but here’s the twist—he’s wide-eyed, staring into the camera, frightened, but not because of his own safety. The first thing that comes out of his mouth is, “Someone please, please protect my Aunt May.” And the entirety of New York cries out simultaneously. Heroes and neighbours and fellow students rain down on the Parker house, ready to defend her.’
This is - surprise! - a May Parker fic. This fic will move you. You will probably cry. I love it with all my heart. If I ever need a refresher on who May is and how she feels - how New York feels, about Spiderman - this is my go-to.
Hope that gave you some new stuff to check out! I have more, do I ever have more. Enjoy & remember to leave comments for all of these wonderful writers!!!

I don’t know how to say this without sounding selfish, but I miss Gwen terribly. I know that she’s happy and is cherishing that, but man, I just miss seeing her engaged and doing her fashion projects. You Bsers at least get to see B several months a year on TV. I listen to TIWTTFL quite a bit & I always comeback to Me Without You. She made a promise in that song & I believed her. She’s literal in her lyrics, yet I feel more & more like she’s slipping away. I feel so sad thinking about it 😭
Yes, you are sounding a bit selfish... 😅 You know in one way I totally get it. No, it’s not the same as in the past. Same for Blake. I sometimes miss him on Twitter. Sharing moments of his day to day life, interacting with fans. Even though I get why it has changed, it is sad it changed. 
But a little bit of perspective doesn’t hurt. I’m more of a recent Gwen fan so correct me if I’m wrong, but things have changed over the years before this as well and she rarely was doing all at once. There were years without music - now we got new original content 4 years in a row! She did three seasons of The Voice, but only since 2014. She has three kids now (one who seems to start Kindergarten next year - it’s pretty much his last year of “freedom”) and a very fullfilling relationship. Besides her residency and YMIFLC Deluxe she may work on Kuukuu Harajuku and P8NT. We got spoiled with her being on Snapchat and IG stories even though that SM interaction is also a pretty recent development after all. 
Yes, fashion seems to be on the back burner right now, but maybe in a while she’ll feel inspired (and have the time!) to do it again. You know, when I think of Gwen in 20 years I see her as relevant and “on” as Cher or Barbra or Dolly. She’s such a creative human being and doing something is so much part of her personality that I never see her slipping away completely. If that was her goal she’d already done it!
Whoa, now I can stop pretendingAnd whoa, I can finally be myself, be myselfYeah bring it on, bring it on, I got thisI forgot how good it felt, good it felt
I can love whoever I wantSay whatever I wantDo whatever I wantHey
I’d say Gwen found a healthy dose of egoism. Good for her!

just this once, okay? | bruce yamada x fem!reader
part one part two part three part four part five part six
y'all i actually love this chapter sm
taglist: @bettyssneaker @ellemfaoh @finneysbaseball @urfavkorean @retirement-home @sweetrabbit @inumakihearts
when a crushing and helpless bruce yamada seeks aid from an unaware and breezy y/n, he suggests they fake date in order to make his crush jealous. what could go wrong? they were friendly, and y/n was beautiful. bruce’s plan is fool proof. at least that’s what he thinks.
a/n: for the sake of the story, everyone is the same age (16-17) and in junior year of high school, except gwen, who is a freshman. and the grabber doesn't exist because i said so.
everyone who had been sick the week prior was finally feeling better. the majority of the students who were out sick were back at school, thriving. bruce had taken a little longer to get back to class, solely because he had taken longer to accept that he was sick and stay home for a couple more days.
you were walking alongside donna, on your way to your shared english class. donna's birthday was coming up and she was beyond thrilled. "can you believe it, y/n/n? i'll be seventeen this saturday!"
finney, who had just tagged along, spoke up. "yeah, don, it's all you've been talking about for weeks now!"
"finn, don't kill her mood." you bossed, making him chuckle. "what're you gonna do? you gonna have a party?"
donna perked up at this. "yep!" she chirped, popping the 'p' loudly. "i haven't told anyone though, you two are the first people i wanted to tell, obviously."
"oh, wow, i'm touched." finney teased, ruffling her hair gently. "out of all of your friends, we're the first to know?"
"yeah, duh." donna quipped, slapping his hand. "so, it'll be on saturday, at around eight o'clock, and you can bring whoever you want, as long as they don't do anything stupid, y'know?"
"ooo!" finney sang, nudging your shoulder. "you can take your perfect little boyfriend to donna's party!"
you rolled your eyes at him as the three of you walked into mrs. jameson's english class. "i was planning to, finn."
"i hate people in happy relationships." donna grumbled, taking her usual seat in front of you.
finney smirked. "y'know they're not actually—"
"shut up, finney!" you scolded, kicking his shin roughly to ensure he'd keep his trap shut. he squealed like a child, holding his knee up to his chest.
"you two have such a weird friendship." donna shook her head, placing her supplies on her desk. she was always so prepared for everything, which was the main reason you two had become friends so quickly.
"we know." you and finney laughed in sync.
Tumblr media
as the three of you trudged to your next class, finney asked a question. "hey, y/n/n, d'you think you could help robin and i with some of the calculus work later?"
"i don't know, finn, the only reason i'm passing calculus is because bruce always gives up on trying to explain the problems to me and just does them himself." you laughed, adjusting your bookbag.
"that's weirdly adorable." donna snickered, fidgeting with the flashy gold watch on her wrist. "it's so gross how adorable your relationship is, y'know?"
"oh, yeah!" finney exclaimed sarcastically. "their relationship is just adorable! super duper real and adorable!"
you gave him a sharp glare, and he immediately stopped teasing you. donna noticed this and furrowed her eyebrows. "he's just jealous of you and bruce, y/n/n, don't listen to him."
"like you're one to talk." finney mumbled so only donna heard it, and she shoved her elbow into finney's abdomen, earning a loud groan from him. "jeez, donna, chill!"
she straightened up quickly, changing the subject. "so, you two will be at my party this saturday, right?"
"yes, i will be there, don," you reassured, "and finney will be there too, even if i have to drag him out of bed myself." the pair laughed loudly at this, the small dimple on finney's cheek peeking out.
"perfect!" she giggled, linking her arm with yours. "hey, if it's not too much to ask, d'you think you could help me set up some stuff?"
"yeah, of course, i'll be there at six!" you responded. you didn't have any other plans for saturday, so if there was anything you could do to help, you'd do it.
"but, just you, okay?" donna muttered, hesitating a little bit. "i mean, bruce is welcome to come to the party, of course, but for before, i have to talk to you alone, okay?"
this worried you to some degree. donna looked somewhat pale, and she was as serious as you've ever seen her. "oh, yeah, okay."
Tumblr media
the rest of the week went by swiftly. bruce had gone over to your house two days during the week, meaning he had met your dad. the whole situation was quite awkward, to be frank.
bruce showed up at your house on saturday evening. as usual, he knocked three times, shoving his hands in his jacket pockets right after.
when you opened the door and saw him— and his gorgeous smile— standing there, you almost slammed the door right in his face. instead, you blurted, "what are you doing here!?"
"i- isn't donna's party today?" bruce questioned, his smile faltering a bit.
"yeah, at eight o'clock!" you laughed, opening the door a bit wider to invite him inside. "it's only five-thirty, we can't show up already!"
he walked in, taking off his jacket and putting it up on the coat hanger. "okay, well, can we hang out, then?"
"i have to help donna set up for her party soon, bruce," you informed, sending him an apologetic look, "and before you ask, no, you can't go with me."
"what, why not!?" he scoffed. "i'd be great help!"
"i'm sure that you would, bruce, but, donna said she had to talk to me about something." you clarified, making him slump his shoulders.
allie was running down the stairs as you said this, grinning brightly when she saw bruce was there. "bruce!" she exclaimed, running over to him, giving him a bear hug.
bruce was quick to react, swooping her up. "allison, my favorite l/n!"
"hear that, y/n/n?" she boasted. "i'm his favorite l/n!"
you shook your head at her behavior. "i'm gonna go to donna's and help her set up. i will be back as soon as we finish."
"hey, bruce, do you want an ice pop?" allie blushed.
"i would love one, allie." bruce smiled. "i just need to talk to y/n really quickly, okay?"
"okay, i'll go get them ready!" allie squealed, running into the kitchen for ice pops. "i'll get you a blue one!"
you looked at bruce with admiration in your eyes. "if she's getting you a blue one she must really like you, y'know?"
"i have that charm on people, you know that." bruce smirked.
"you're so annoying, i hope you know that." you teased, shoving his shoulder.
he grinned, brushing his knuckles against yours. "go help donna, i will be right here, doing the unicorn puzzle with allie for the ninth time and eating ice pops!"
you laughed at this, running a hand through your hair. "i'll be back soon, i swear!"
"it's fine, y/n/n!" he assured. "take your time over there, i am about to eat the best ice pops ever, with one of the most hyper kids i've ever met, we will be fine!"
"okay, see? now, i feel bad!"
"get out!"
"you can't kick me out of my own house!"
"yes, he can, i said so!" what the fuck, allie?
the two of them teamed up and pushed you out of the front door, giggling loudly.
"what the fuck?" you whispered to— well, no one, really.
Tumblr media
you and donna were almost finished setting everything up for her party. she set up a drink station, which as of right now only had soda and red solo cups, but knowing the teenagers of denver, someone would probably sneak in booze.
you helped her set up the snack station, which included an assortment of candies, many different chips, and like five different types of cookies.
"d'you think it's enough? i mean, i invited a lot of my friends and they probably invited some of their friends, but i learned at a young age that it's actually really rude to do that, so—" she rambled, pacing back and forth.
"donna!" you interrupted, placing your hands on her shoulders gently. "it's more than enough, i promise."
"yeah?" you nodded with a smile. "okay! well, i should probably start getting ready or something, i mean it's almost eight o'clock, and— oh!"
"what? what is it?" you asked, worried that she might have forgotten about something.
"oh, i just remembered that i also invited you over so i could tell you something." she said, walking over to you.
"right! yeah, i forgot about that." you admitted, making her laugh. "sorry, should i be prepared? i mean, is it something bad?"
"i guess if you see it that way, but it's really not." she began growing nervous, you could tell in the way she started pulling on her fingers and twisting her rings.
"hey," you soothed, "d, what is it?"
donna breathed in deeply. "you remember when everyone thought finney and i liked one another?"
"yeah, i mean, everyone talked about it for like, the entire year." you said. "even i thought you two were a thing."
"but, we didn't! i mean, i didn't!" donna croaked, her usually soothing voice going up an octave. "i liked finney, but just as friends, because, well, i had a thing for someone else."
"you did?" she nodded. you were growing more confused as to where this was going. "well, who was he? do you still like him?"
"it wasn't a 'he', y/n/n. it was a 'she'. and she was vera kennedy!" donna shrieked, her hands shaking. "i had a crush on vera from science class, okay!?"
you stayed silent, not knowing what to say. donna was crying silently, probably cursing herself for the way she told you.
"i didn't know, d." you wrapped your arm around her shoulder, allowing her to silently sob into your shoulder. "god, if i had known, i wouldn't have teased you about finn so much, im sorry."
she laughed lightly at this, rubbing her now swollen eyes roughly. "it's okay, y/n/n." she paused. "you don't hate me, do you?" she mumbled, her eyes glossy with tears.
"hate you?" you scoffed, placing your hand on hers. "why would i hate you just because of who you wanna make out with?" donna smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkling. "i love you, d, you're my best friend. of course i don't hate you."
donna grinned widely, throwing her arms around your neck. "thank god, because i don't know if i could handle finney on my own."
the two of you laughed, and you reassured her multiple times that you'd always be by her side, no matter what. you told her that you had to go change into nicer clothes, and in a way, pick up bruce.
"sounds good, i'll see you two later!" donna smiled brightly, and you wondered how long she had wanted to tell you this.
"love you, d, i'll be back soon!"
after you left, donna felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. the truth was that she wanted you to be the first person she told, but she could never gather enough courage to tell you. the only reason she told finney first was because she knew that he had a crush on her, but she didn't want any miscommunication between the two of them.
thank god you were so accepting, because she didn't know what she would do without you.
Tumblr media
when you and bruce arrived at donna's party, there was loud music and bright led lights that you didn't remember putting up.
"woah, this is," bruce trailed off, "wow!"
"well, 'wow' is one word for it." you retorted, feeling bruce tense up beside you. "hey, you okay?"
"yeah, fine, i'm just, well, i didn't expect donna's party to be so movie-like."
"yeah, me either, and i was here less than an hour ago." you said, squeezing his hand comfortingly.
"okay, let's go!" bruce dragged you inside, and the two of you immediately got tangled in the mess of teenagers in donna's house.
you spotted donna over by the snack table, and tugged on bruce's hand, signaling him over. he caught on and you two made your way over to her.
"donna, i didn't think it would be this big!" you yelled over the deafening music.
"i didn't either, but i guess word got around quickly!" she was definitely panicking.
"well, on the bright side, you're getting more presents than usual!" bruce attempted to lighten her mood, shooting her an award-winning smile.
donna's mouth opened and closed a couple times, but she shrugged. "yeah, i guess so."
"oh, hey, there's violet and luke!" bruce grinned. "wanna go say hey to them?"
you looked at donna, who smiled at you knowingly, and nodded. "yeah, let's go."
the two of you joined lucas and violet, who were quick to greet you. violet began some awkward small talk at first, and then you two soon found out that you actually had a lot in common.
bruce leaned over, tapping your bicep to get your attention. "you okay here?" he asked, wanting to make sure you weren't uncomfortable around his friends.
"yeah, i'm okay, don't worry." you replied, turning back to violet. in the few weeks you and bruce had been fake-dating, he noticed a lot of things about you. he knew you didn't like being around a lot of people you didn't know, and that your favorite shirts were band shirts, even if they were bands you didn't listen to. boy, was he in love.
"so, have you told her yet?" lucas asked him quietly.
"hm?" bruce snapped his gaze away from you and your shimmery eyes, plump lips, and—
"have you told her how you really feel?" lucas smirked, a knowing expression on his face.
"are you kidding? of course i haven't!" bruce scoffed, leaning against the pillar. "and shut up, man! we're not talking about this right now, okay, she's right there!"
"you're so dramatic, dude!" lucas shook his head. "the two of you are so clearly in love, and you haven't even told her?"
"would you shut up?" bruce whisper-shouted, almost spilling his drink on lucas.
"fine, i'll shut up about it for now." lucas chuckled, earning a glower from bruce, which was an unnatural look on his face since he was basically a ray of sunshine.
violet had gone off with one of her other friends, so you walked over to bruce, who looked like he might've been blowing air out of his ears if he wasn't such a bright person.
"are you okay?" you questioned, making his eyes switch over to you.
"lucas is kind of an ass, y'know?" he waved his hand, earning a laugh from you. god, if he could listen to your laugh all day, he would. "no, i'm serious, i mean he's so aggravating, and just— oh, crap."
you furrowed an eyebrow. "what? what is it? what did you say 'oh, crap.' for?"
"do you remember crazy carly from eighth grade?" bruce asked, scratching the back of his head.
"oh, yeah! carly the one who told people that you two were soulmates?" you giggled. "i remember her, she was like, crazy in love with you!"
"she's still crazy in love with me!" bruce groaned, throwing his head back. "and she's here!"
"she's here?" your eyes bulged slightly. "as in here? as in donna's party here!?"
"yes! she's over by the sink, look!" bruce was turning a bright shade of red, something that happened when he was either flustered or nervous. you chose the latter.
"okay, well, it's okay, maybe she won't see us!" you tried to calm him down. it worked for a total of two minutes, until his eyes practically popped out of his head.
"crap, she saw me!" he blurted. "do you trust me?"
"what?"
"do you trust me?"
you were confused. "i- yes, i trust you, why?"
"don't freak out, okay?" he placed his hand on the side of your face and leaned in. you could feel his breath on your face before he stopped, asking, "can i kiss you?"
"yeah," you breathed, and in that moment, you almost melted into a pool of nothingness right then and there.
he kissed you. it was soft and tender, giving you goosebumps all over your arms. the two of you found yourselves melting into the kiss, as if it was something common and natural. your lips moved in sync, giving you both a warm and fuzzy feeling in your stomachs.
with no idea how long the kiss had lasted, the two of you pulled away for breath, hearing loud whistles and cheers from the crowd that had gathered at one point. seeing the many people watching you two made your face turn a bright shade of pink.
"gross, man, next time get a room." vance grumbled, shoving his way past the two of you. "honestly, making out just like that? in front of everyone? jeez."
you and bruce were left dazed after all of the commotion died down. the rest of the night, the two of you seemed to be in a trance, likely bewildered that the kiss even happened.
robin and finney started teasing you, saying things like "we told you!" and "you two are totally in love." even billy had walked over and given the two of you a shit-eating grin.
you stepped outside to catch your breath after what had just happened, sitting on the rusty swingset in donna's backyard.
what you least expected was for clara to walk up to you. her short brown hair was curled neatly, and her bright hazel eyes shined in the fancy lighting of donna's house. "you two make a cute couple, you know?"
"oh, thanks, clara." you said, smiling politely.
she sent a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, making it look ingenuine. "you two seem really happy together."
you nodded, gazing above at the stars.
"are you?" she began.
"hm?"
"are you two happy?" you didn't know clara was so nosy.
you pondered the question for a moment. "yeah. yeah, i think i'm actually the happiest i've been in a while."
while this was a true statement, it scared you. you and bruce's relationship was only temporary, but he made you happy, and you weren't ready to give that up yet. neither of you were.
clara's small smile faltered, and she sniffled a little. "that's good, um, that's great, actually."
"are you okay, clara?" you asked.
she fixed her slumped posture quickly. "yeah, yeah, i'm okay! i'm actually gonna head back in, so, i'll see you."
"okay," you nodded, "bye, clara."
you didn't know how long you had been out there, but it must've been long enough for bruce to go looking for you. "hey, there you are!"
"bruce, hey." you greeted, a warm smile finding it's way onto your face.
"i'm sorry if that was too much, or something, i didn't mean to freak you out." he apologized, holding out an m&m cookie. "i got you this, i thought you'd like one."
you gratefully accepted, your smile growing. "you didn't freak me out, bruce. i just kind of, panicked, i guess."
he furrowed an eyebrow. "why?"
"i don't know, actually." lie, of course you knew, but you wouldn't be caught dead confessing your feelings to bruce yamada. "i think it's because of all the people watching."
he nodded in understanding. "yeah, that's my bad."
"it's okay, though." you said, taking a bite out of the large cookie. "i've been out here looking at the stars, and it's very much comforting."
"oh, well in that case, i'll go get more snacks, and we can watch the stars together." he offered, wrapping his jacket around your shoulders.
"that sounds like fun, let's do it!" you jumped up, taking one of the blankets you had stolen earlier and spreading it out onto the grass. "and don't forget to get drinks!"
"i won't!"
well, thank you, carly.

He’s My Girl (Chapter 5)
Tumblr media
TITLE OF STORY: He’s My Girl
CHAPTER: 5
AUTHOR: miss-m-and-her-blog
WHICH TOM/CHARACTER: AU Actor!Tom
GENRE: Romance, Action, Drama
FIC SUMMARY: He’s a guy, she’s a boy in disguise. He’s an actor, she’s a stuntman or -woman. How can it ever work when the famous Tom Hiddleston stars in an action film, with Charlie or Charlene as his stunt choreographer? 
RATING: T
WARNINGS/TRIGGERS/AUTHORS NOTES: Of course, some swearing again (I hate to say this but I’ve been putting a lot of swear words for this fic but somehow I am enjoying it haha), and also, I used he for Charlie whenever he is at work or pretending to be a guy
FEEDBACK/COMMENTS: Thanks so much for the love that the readers are giving HMG ^_^ you are all so wonderful! :D
Tom looked over the window while they are inside the rooms that are provided in the training quarters. It was the first day of training for Tom and he had yet to know what fighting style Charlie will be teaching him.
Julian ate his brown bread with non-fat butter spread on it.
Then, Tom spoke finally, “What do you think I would learn from Charlie, eh?” He optimistically wondered.
Julian shrugged, “I don’t know. He didn’t told Greener what fighting style he use. But, you’ll know it soon enough.”
Tom inhaled, “The way he tackled Al, it’s just, I thought he was really going to break the man’s neck with that leg hold. I mean, who’s crazy and calculating at the same time to do that move?”
Julian didn’t answered as he ate a mouthful of his bread, but he was thinking; the last time he saw that move was when Dodong and his company auditioned.  One of them has done that kind of move but he couldn’t remember which one of them did.
However, Julian was sure with one thing, he already met Charlie before as he recognize his face. He was not sure where or when, but he is good with recognizing faces.
After a while, Tom received a text message from Paula, who had just arrived at the next studio for a screen test with Ian.
Wish you were here. Ian’s being a whore with the cute prod assistants. And it’s just 6 o’clock. and there was an eye-rolling emoji at the end of her text.
Tom smiled but he replied,
Just be patient with them. I’ll see you later after work.
He received another reply from Paula,
Take care with your training, by the way. If that Charlie breaks any bone from you, I’ll punch him myself.
This time, Tom let out a chuckle and replied;
That’s so sweet and very un-ladylike of you. xx
He only got a fly-away kiss emoji as a reply from Paula.
Julian cleared his throat, “So, exchanging sweet nothings with your bae?”
Tom threw the nearest pillow at Julian and they both sniggered.
“Why? What’s wrong with this? Paula likes me, I like her. The feeling’s mutual.” Tom explained clearly.
“Okay. I’m not saying anything but I think girls like Paula tend to label something immediately. Are sure that’s where you want to go?” Julian scoffed.
Tom eyed him, “If you don’t shut up, I won’t introduce you to Gwen, ever.”
Julian was immediately silenced but after a while he replied, trying not to stammer, “Hey, th-that’s just mean, man.” Julian almost begged Tom.
Then Tom spoke up, “Why do you like Gwen anyway? She’s very... Snobbish.”
Julian went beside Tom and braced himself like he is going to explain the philosophy of humankind’s existence on Earth.
“Gwen is not like any other girl out here in this kind of business. I know she’s not pretty for you or sexier than Paula, but– when you just like somebody, and you can’t explain it, that every time you see that person you’re whole world just-- stops.” And he gazed out and sighed again.
As far as Tom knows, Julian only met Gwen after the script reading and he’d been so crazy for her since.
“And besides, she’s a ginger and I’m a ginger; we’ll have the cutest ginger babies.” Julian bragged to which Tom only responded with a chuckle and a shake of his head.
FInally, he stretched up, “I’m going around the compound for a run. It’s just 6:30 in the morning.”
“Okay. See you later, man.” Julian replied then he started preparing another bread to spread butter on.
"What did I say again?" Lily asked Charlie.
"Act natural, but still manly." Charlie spoke in a deep voice.
Lily tried not to cringe as he can still see Charlene and not Charlie.
"Okay. Good luck, girl."
Charlie smiled at him and held his hand, "Thanks a lot, couz." She replied in her normal voice.
She now got up and took her body bag and put on her black cap. It was Charlie's first day of work, but Lily couldn't help but worry about his cousin. What he fears most is that Charlie might get caught and that she would be insulted again in front of everybody.
Lily sat in front of his mirror stand where he makes his make-up tutorial videos. He found himself leaning against the desk. Then, he heard someone knock over the open door, "Why is Charlene dressed like a guy?"
It is their youngest sibling, Demi, and she had her hand on her waist, demanding answers.
"Come here, I'll tell you something. Close the door." Lily instructed Demi.
Demi went over to her brother and he said, "Don't tell Mami and Papi about this! Understood?"
"Crystal." She replied quickly.
"I told the folks that Cha is going through a... Phase. But really-- she disguised herself as a guy so Lockley Studios can hire her as a stuntman."
Demi took her time before saying anything. But then, her brows furrowed and she had the look of disbelief.
"What? I mean-- What?"
Lily pouted and said, "Mm-hm."
"No way."
"Yes way, sis. And I'm worried about Cha, really. That she might get in trouble or something." Lily sighed.
Demi only smiled and held her brother's hand, "Come on, sissy, you know Cha-- She's an independent girl. I think she can handle that. Whatever her reason for doing that, I know that she can handle also the outcome."
"What? You're not even confused about it or worried? Damn, gurl." Lily crossed his arms on his chest.
"Nope. Let Cha do her thing."
Lily could only sit back and sigh.
Charlie arrived at the Training quarters around 8 o’clock, but it seems that he was the first one to be there. He made himself comfortable in a long iron bench near the housing that is the sleeping quarters of the stunt team.
For a while, he started to stretch out to prepare himself for teaching Tom. But as he was preparing for a Chinese split, the thought of seeing Tom again made him stop.
Then he finally lost it when he saw in his mind-eye if ever Tom would smile at him while on training.
Cha, can you stop thinking about him--your stupid crush towards him, for a while?  He thought to himself.
It was official, Charlie has now a crush on Tom Hiddleston. He knew it to be true when he was accepted as part of the stunt team, just a few days ago and specifically assigned by the director to be Tom’s trainer.
He knew he just wanted to prove the executive producer wrong, for turning him away when he auditioned as Charlene; but Charlie never knew that he would get into this kind of situation.
The best thing that you should do is resist it. Hide it. Don’t let him know that you have a budding crush for him. He thought again.
The only thing that had snapped his thoughts away from Tom is what fighting style he would teach Tom. Al spoke to him over the phone asking him about that yesterday. Charlie was informed that the film would require a lot of physical exertion and CQCs.
He thought of teaching Tom Kali, Taekwondo and also a little bit of Brazilian Capoeira as Charlie was informed that Tom would do a lot of kicking, throwing punches and gun handling scenes.
After he had settled again in a sitting position, Charlie somehow remembered his father and the first day he taught him Taekwondo. He was four years old at that time, and they were still living in Binondo in Manila. Bo-Gyeong had just ask him to kick as high as he could, but he ended up with his butt down on the floor as he stumbled. Rosanna saw it and it made her chuckle; she told her husband that Charlie was not ready for learning Taekwondo.
But Charlie could remember well that he insisted to his father that he really wants to learn.
He heard himself sigh. He thought, I’m thinking of the good old days again. But that’s how Charlene would think-- but not Charlie.
Charlie tried to put those memories away. As he always said to himself, he needed to focus into his work right now. After a few minutes, Charlie’s attention was caught when someone running came over to the iron bench where he is sitting.
His eyes went from the person’s feet and slowly up to the head, and Charlie saw first a pair of black running shoes stopping; two long legs wearing a pair of knee-length shorts on, the slender but muscular abdomen and pecs, and lastly, his freckled neck and beautiful face.
In front of Charlie stood Tom, who had just finished his run, looking all sweaty and glorious in the early morning sun.
“Shit.” Charlie quietly muttered and he was glad that Tom didn’t heard him.
“Morning, man. You’re early.” Tom pointed out.
It took Charlie a short while before replying as he is still composing himself. Tom was just a total vision for him.
“It’s the first day of your training, wouldn’t want to be late for it.” He replied with a smile.
“May I?” Tom asked kindly as he gestured beside Charlie.
He took a big gulp before answering Tom, “Sure. Sure, go ahead.”
Tom had a water bottle in his hand and opened it for a drink. Charlie had to peel his eyes away while Tom was drinking, or he might notice that Charlie is ogling him.
“So, what am I going to learn today?” He sounded cheerful and enthusiastic. It might have been that he feels so energized by his run and Tom felt he could do anything today.
Charlie shifted on his seat, and an inch away from Tom so he could focus his thoughts, “Al spoke to me and the requirements you need for the scenes. I told him that I would be teaching you Taekwondo, Kali, and Capoeira.”
His eyes lit up, but to Charlie, his excitement only made his baby-blue eyes deepen and intensify. This time, Charlie was trying to force down a smile and a sigh.
“Really? That’s marvelous. I’ve always been fascinated with Taekwondo, I know a little Kali because of my Loki-throwing-knives days-- and Capoeira, that’s something I’ve always wanted to learn also.”
Charlie now smiled, half because he found Tom’s enthusiasm very infectious and half that he could see himself in him whenever he would learn a new fighting style from his father.
Then, Tom asks, “I’m just curious, who taught you everything about stunt works? And how did you get into it?”
Charlie now steeple his hands together and then he looked away, “My father was a stuntman and he taught me everything I needed to know.”
“Where is he now?”
“He’s gone. And so is my mother. I’m just an orphan gir--boy right now.” He explained.
Tom’s eyes widened with shock then softened to a look of sadness.
“I’m sorry.” Tom replied, shaking his head.
“It’s okay. I’m used to it. And that’s the truth, they’re gone. But I have my Uncle Barty and his big family. My father and mother may be gone, and I accept that; but that doesn’t mean I have to forget them.”
As Charlie spoke about his parents, his voice got a little bit higher to his normal voice of a woman. He tried to tone it down again by clearing his throat so Tom wouldn’t notice.
“I admire that, Charlie. I really do.” Tom’s sincerity pierced Charlie’s heart at that moment, and now, they are both smiling at each other.
Charlie felt a surge of strength inside him.
Tom is just so kind, sincere, and humble. I didn’t expect this. He’s like... Not every other guy that I’ve known in my life. Charlie thought.
Then, Charlie stood up with his hands on his waist.
“So, are you ready? I hope you are because I would be teaching you the stretches and basics to Taekwondo.” Charlie spoke with a certain gentle authority that Tom liked.
“Yeah, I’m ready for it. Whatever it is, sensei.” Tom teased as he also stood up with his hands on his waist.
That made Charlie chuckle and his face softened more.
Tom noticed that look on his face, and he thought that if Charlie weren’t a man, he would be so lovely. Then they both walked inside the roofed gym and they talked more about Taekwondo.
The clock stroke four and finally, their training for the day has ended.
Charlie saw that Tom looked exhausted from their lessons on splits. Of course at that time, he needed to be so close to Tom. And there was one thing he noticed, Tom still smelled good even when he is sweating.
“Bye, Charlie. Thanks for today. See you tomorrow.” Tom bid goodbye as he is about to leave the gym.
Charlie can only wave at him as he left. And when Tom was finally gone, Charlie drew a long and tired breath. He had been pretending to be a man and suppressing his crush for Tom the whole day that he didn’t knew it would be that gruelling.
To let off all the steam, Charlie decided to take a shower. He was about to enter the ladies’ shower room but a woman came out and he just pointed out that he didn’t saw the sign. He let out an exasperated sigh and brushed off an imaginary sweat off of his brow and now he entered the men’s shower room.
To his horror, he was welcomed with men frolicking, butt-naked and slapping each others legs with their towels while their cocks dangle in the middle of the lockers and benches.
Holy fuck of all the fucks in the world. He thought with his eyes widened with terror and surprise also.
He tried to shrug off the surprise. Luckily, the showers were separated into cubicles.
Fuck that shit. I’m going to change here inside the shower.
He stripped off his clothes and also the bindings that held his breasts.
Suddenly, he remembered when Lily joked about his breasts and how small they are that he won’t be needing any binding at all. He responded that he is a B cup and they are not that small.
He started the shower and adjusted it to lukewarm. As the sprinkling water fell on his head then to the nape of his neck, he felt all of his exhaustion washed away by the water.
For a while, Charlie forgot how this day went. But he was sure that there is one thing he will never forget, and it is Tom.
After showering, Charlie carefully dressed inside the cubicle. But he could hear outside that the men who was playing with each other was added another one. And he heard the newly arrive guy say, “You better cover that up before I could grab that.”
Charlie’s brow raised because of what he heard.
Why the heck is that guy going to grab-- that?  He thought.
When he was fully dressed and sure that no one noticed him, Charlie came out of the shower, the ends of his pixie-cut hair still dripping. He tried to see who was that talking and when he looked back at the guys at the lockers, Charlie saw the man they call Ian.
Charlie met his gaze but he looked away immediately and went out of the shower room so he wouldn’t attract any attention. As far as he know, that Ian is popular with the production assistants. And Al lightly warned him to veer away from Ian. He was never told why he should, but he is somehow curious.
Charlie was on his way to the next building where it would lead him to the exit when he heard someone call out,
“Hey you! Shorty!”
He stopped and slowly looked back to see that he was followed from the shower room up to there by none other than Ian. When he turned to face Ian, the man was already in front of him, wearing a smirk on his face.
“I haven’t got the chance to introduce myself, I’m Ian-- Ian Velasquez.” Ian held out his hand to shake Charlie’s hand.
Charlie took a while before reaching out to Ian’s open hand.
“I’m Charlie Go. Nice to meet you.” Charlie spoke with uncertainty in his tone.
“You’re Tom Hiddleston’s trainer, am I right?” He pointed out.
“Yes, I am.”
The smirk on Ian’s face didn’t fade and he spoke again, “Too bad you went to him and not to me. My trainer’s a grumpy old dick.”
Charlie had his brows furrowed in confusion, Al Greener is Ian’s trainer.
“So, where are you off to now?” Ian inquired and he leaned closer now to Charlie.
Ian is two heads taller than Charlie. But Charlie is being cautious with Ian as he is as attractive and charming as Tom, but with the air of arrogance in him; unlike Tom who is more humble.
“I’m about to go home. It’s quitting time after all.” Charlie replied gingerly.
“Do you have a car? Or are you commuting?” Ian asked.
“I’m commuting. I’m taking the train.”
Ian narrowed his eyes for a while, then he crossed his arms on his chest.
“I could take you home. Where do you live?”
Charlie was not too sure whether he would accept Ian’s kind gesture or not, but Al’s instruction to stay away from Ian is still on his mind. But he also thought, it would be difficult to go home as the trains would be packed with working-class people also on their way home.
“I live in Downtown. You don’t need to take me home, thanks anyway.” Charlie replied as politely as he could and he started to walk away.
He was going to follow Al’s advice, because no one would warn him that way if Ian didn’t had any reputation that someone should be wary of. But, Ian took his shoulder to stop him, “Wait, I’m sorry. I know I’m too forward, but I just want to know you.”
Charlie was taken back by those words that Ian said. He is too forward, but Ian was so honest with that. He decided if he would accept Ian’s invitation or not.
If he wants to be friends... Why not?
Charlie sighed and now placed his black cap on his head, “Okay. If you insist.”
Ian smiled genuinely at Charlie, also his eyes were also sparkling with delight. Charlie knew nothing could go bad with making some new friends.
Tom had worn a navy-blue jacket and a crisp white-colored shirt for the night as he would be going out in a dinner with Paula. Paula wanted to treat him to dinner near Downtown and he gladly accepted it.
They were not afraid anymore of paparazzis chasing and taking shots of them together. They were both consenting adults and Tom thought that they can do whatever they want with each other. Paula was the first one to speak about them going out publicly, and Tom did realized it that Paula is right.
When they arrived at the fine-dining restaurant called La Dama Roja, they were taken to their reserved seat by the receptionist.
Half of the seats inside the soft-lighted hall of the restaurant were filled with people, but Tom chose the spot where there were few customers so that he and Paula can enjoy the company of each other.
Paula wore a white bodyfit dress that complimented her hair. Tom could only internally sigh at her beauty and smile bright outwardly.
“So, how was your training?” Then she placed her hand on his as they sat opposite each other.
“It’s very exhausting but very enjoyable. Charlie taught me how to do splits, it’s terrible, though. My legs still feel sore.” Tom explained cheerfully.
“Don’t worry, then, I’ll be on top if your legs are too sore.” Paula quipped and that made Tom chuckle.
Then, he cupped her face with his left hand and Paula leaned on in his hand.
“So how was the screen test?” Tom asks as he took back his hand.
“It went well. Besides Ian hitting on that prod assistant, Janet. Ugh, he’s such a slut.” Paula snared remembering how playful Ian was that morning.
“If that’s his thing, why does that annoy you?”
Paula sat up and leaned on the table, “I’ve worked with Ian before in a period drama. He’s quite nice but then he’s only really nice to the person he wants to bang. He’s just awful with the rest of us back then. Just like now.”
Tom nodded slowly as he placed finger over his chin, thinking.
“I see. Well, enough of work talk, let’s place an order?” Tom happily took the menu and so did Paula.
Tom and Paula had Paella and Tigres served with the best red wine. For the next hour that they were together, Tom saw how open Paula is now they are publicly going out.
She was full of stories yet she can also lovingly listen to him when it’s his turn. Tom wondered, if he is ready to step up with their relationship. He likes her and he knows it very well, but he knows that something is holding him back to fully pledge himself to Paula.
Maybe because you burned last time, you’re afraid to give it all again now. He thought as Paula enthusiastically had dessert with him.
After their meal, Paula and Tom decided to walk on the streets for a while. Tom reasoned that he wanted to hold her hand longer. They passed by some busy streets, then boutiques and shops that had a cheery autumn vibe into it.
But when they were nearing another busy street, they noticed the corner shop which is also a restaurant but more casual.
Tom almost missed it as they passed by, but he was sure he saw Charlie and Ian together. Tom looked back and he unchained himself from Paula’s hold to see.
And there inside the restaurant, Charlie was laughing while Ian made a joke.
“What is it, hon?” Paula asked and then she also saw Ian, together with Charlie.
“Isn’t that your trainer, Tom?” She pointed out.
Tom watched them before replying, “Yes. That’s Charlie.”
Paula crossed her arms in her chest, “See what I mean? Ian is only nice to someone he wants to get in bed with.”
Tom nodded slowly but he was trying to analyze why Charlie would agree to have dinner with someone like Ian.
If Ian is what Paula says, why would Charlie go with him?  He thought.
But then a thought came to Tom that maybe they are just having a friendly dinner and nothing’s wrong with that. Two guys enjoying dinner isn’t wrong at all.
Tom now placed an arm around Paula, “Come on, hon. Just like us, they’re also consenting adults.”
They left their spot, but at the back of Tom’s mind, he can’t help but be concerned towards Charlie. He doesn’t know why but somehow he feels like he should also warn Charlie about Ian.
Meanwhile, Charlie had just wiped his eyes from because he had just laughed so hard at Ian’s jokes.
“Gosh, it’s been a while since I laughed this hard.” Charlie then took a sip of his soda.
“Really?” Ian’s face lit up after hearing that from Charlie.
“Yeah. Whoo. Thanks again for the dinner, Ian.” Charlie casts a soft look at Ian.
“You’re very much welcome.” Ian replied with a smile.
Charlie then asked him, “So, how is your training with Al going?”
Ian adjusted in his seat and spoke, “Well, he’s such a killjoy. He’s suggesting other fighting techniques that I use in the film, but I want so much to use my own.”
That time, Charlie almost choke on his soda. “You have your own fighting technique?”
“Yeah, I know Taekwondo and also a little Aikido. I trained since I was young. But I loved Taekwondo more. But, because I was cast in period dramas and some romantic comedies, I haven’t used that skill before in a film.”
Charlie had to stop from eating for a while, he was amazed that Ian had a secret talent in martial arts. After they ate, Ian lead Charlie to his car to finally take him home. Charlie didn’t wanted Ian the trouble, but Ian kindly insisted.
“You can’t commute with a full stomach. Get in.” He remarked.
On their way, Charlie was quiet not only because he was too full, but he was enjoying the silence with Ian.
For a while, Charlie stole a look at Ian, then suddenly he was now reminded that Ian looked like somebody she knew-- it was her high school crush and Taekwondo sparring partner, Jin-Ho.
Jin-Ho was half-German and half-Korean, but now Charlie just realized, Ian looked so much like Jin-Ho. Even his gestures reminds him of Jin-Ho.
Charlie felt something nostalgic about remembering Jin-Ho through Ian; Jin-Ho was also her best friend but she withheld an unrequited love towards him. Jin-Ho had a girlfriend after the school year and then Charlie saw less of him.
Even in side view, he looks like him. Ian is just like Jin-Ho. Charlie thought as he now looked away on to the streets.
But, Charlie couldn’t help it, Ian was too focused on his driving that he now observed Ian. His lips were quite beautiful and pinkish, while his brown eyes are framed with thick and long eyelashes that made him look more mysterious. But he looked so regal yet boyish, that Charlie couldn’t help but to compare him to Tom. But he knows that they are both handsome in their own way.
But he really thought, He’s like some handsome and rich schoolboy in a Yaoi comic book, though.
Charlie held down a chuckle when that thought came up to him. Ian noticed the sound he made, then he asked, “Are you laughing at my nose?”
Charlie had to shake his head and reply, “No! No, of course not. I’m not laughing at you-- I just... remembered your joke, that’s all.”
Ian’s lips stretched into a smirk, “Oh that.”
Charlie instructed Ian to turn on the next left corner. When they came out of a wide road that leads to rows and rows of housing, Ian pulled over where Charlie had told him to.
“This is me. That’s where I live for now.” Charlie pointed out her Uncle Barty’s house.
It was almost dusk and the skies were now filled with pinks and oranges, like an unfinished canvass of a painting. They both silently observed the skies while they are still sitting side by side.
Charlie didn’t unbuckled his seat belt to get out of the car. There was this feeling in him that he didn't wanted to leave yet.
“Thanks again, Ian, for the dinner and the ride back home.” Charlie said.
Ian smiled and leaned a little bit. Charlie thought that he was going to kiss him when Ian got closer and closer to him. His limbs froze when Ian’s face was just an inch away from his, that he almost felt his breath.
“Don’t mention it.” He whispered and there Charlie smelled a hint of cigarette in his breath.
Charlie felt his stomach tighten when Ian got closer--only to press down the button of his seat belt. He jumped at the way the belt unfastened from his body. Charlie knew that his eyes were now as round as circles with surprise.
Charlie now quietly pulled himself together as he is about to go out of the car. He nodded lastly at Ian before closing the car door behind him.
For the next minutes, he waited Charlie to get inside the house. Ian couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
I’m not going to fuck Charlie yet. He’s just too cute and adorable. But I’ll do it rough whenever he is already mine. Ian’s thoughts were very salacious enough to make him chuckle again.
He drove off but the memory of him being face to face with Charlie will be indelibly marked into his mind.
Meanwhile, Charlie had just closed the front door behind him. Now, he is a she. Charlene’s only a he whenever she’s at work.
She tried to breathe in as she remembered how Ian held his face closely to hers. Charlene felt confused, but she was sure what motives Ian has for her.
But then, she remembered Tom, whom baby-blue eyes could melt her in an instant. She felt her back slumped over the wood of the front door.
So who’s your choice? The one you like or the one that likes you?

im SO pissed i didnt listen to believe for a fucking year bc i heard bad things about it. im never listening to anyone else's opinions again cuz THAT WAS BRILLIANT. THAT WAS EVERYTHING I WANT OUT OF TORCHWOOD i mean it was still a bit shit highkey but it was EXACTLY what i want out of this garbage show. sooo fucking season one core (aka my fav) all sorts of dark horrific connotations and unhealthy dynamics but no emotional weight or responsibility xD once again i cannot tell if the writer was even fucking AWARE of a lot of the things he was implying but what i interpreted as being implied is making me fucking tear up the floorboards im. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
that was so cynical and bitter and awful and miserable and edgy and shitty ITS EVERYTHING I WANTED. i love torchwood being goofy i do but what draws me into the show and the reason it's become one of my most, uh, aggressive hyperfixations ever (which is ridic btw) is cuz its FUCKED UP AND UNHAPPY and that? was fuuuuucked. obsessed.
cult leader jack cult leader jack cult leader jack U DONT UNDERSTAND IT MAKES ME RABID and they ran with it i. stick figure violence stick figure violence. feeling rabid. AND HIS FUCKING SPEECH AT THE END. DOES HE KNOW??? hes so fucking deluded I LOVE IT. ITS FASCINATING he thinks hes good.... he thinks hes good... hes aware n he feels responsible and yet he doesnt SEE he doesnt see he thinks hes doing his best. NOOO it had the be intentional literally "jack tell us what that was about" "later lol" "sure yeah always later" and then hes like "YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" GRRR JACK. JACK. also faith n believing.... ianto's trust. ianto's trust. you believe me like a god FUCK MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEE
jack always being five steps ahead + being 10x more competent than the team always makes me fucking roll my eyes but at this point i just kind of perceive it as the way tw constantly paints him as a deity figure. he can do no wrong
GWENS CYNICISM. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK it's toxic... it's toxic... this job gets inside you THIS JOB GETS INSIDE YOUUU. torchwood thesis statement: this job fucking breaks you.
FINALLY some good fucking tosh x owen food. DONT GET ME WRONG THAT WAS FUCKING AWFUL but that was sooooooo much more compelling than the fucking bullshit that canon gave us. owen being a toxic abusive fucking manchild + doing smth bad enough to tosh that she FINALLY went "wow THATS the man im obsessing over" like g-d i would've killedddd for that to happen in the show i HATE that she wasted herself on him. i hate it. her disgust and anger at him was so THERAPEUTIC for me 😭 idk what it says about me that the way i was grinning when they were arguing n bitching at each other was probs the closest ive ever gotten to actually shipping them HFKJDSF theres smth wrong w me. i just think s2 tosh is too fucking sweet and good and probably naive and i think owen could so easily fuck her up, like i don't think there's a world where he wouldn't hurt her tbh, and i don't want that to happen i adore her too much. like i don't think he's irredeemable, i ship him w other characters who i think could handle him, but i don't think tosh could, and that was validation of that opinion, you know? i'd be more willing to ship them if tosh was firm with him and didn't let him walk all over her, and it sucks that she didn't do that and got herself hurt and THATS what it took to make her call him tf out and tell him how much he sucks. ig a lot of why towen bugs me sm boils down to the fact that im not comfortable shipping someone who's kind of awful with someone who idealizes them and doesn't seem to grasp the scale of how bad they are. that's a recipe for an unhealthy dynamic and if i didn't like tosh i might be intrigued by it ngl HFSKDF but thats my babygirl and the idea of putting her thru Being With Him disgusts me. she deserves better until he gets his fucking shit together. which he never does and she never gets to have something good bc she was waiting for his shitty ass lmao YAYY!!
owen was AWFUL in that btw. and i adored him in it. my fav owen is an owen who's spiraling and destructively fixated on something for selfish purposes to the point that he doesnt care who he hurts to accomplish it. he's so villain coded fhsdkfjdsk he redeems himself in the show and i love that but the audios further explore the fact that he's got such a darkness to him he SO EASILY can be pushed into destroying everything. hes constantly on the precipice of monstrosity and cruelty bc of his own hurt. it's like hes so full of rot it leaks out of him and infects others and he hates it but he cant help it. i will never get over the doctor with poison fingers oh he makes my heart ache. he's just so misguided. he's so broken.
which brings us back to jack's speech. (him talking to the cult leader lady) "They were broken, and you were the person they turned to for help. If you don’t accept their problems, then don’t offer yourself as a solution." literally im gonna think about this for months. HE DOESNT SEE!!!!!!!!!
g-d and ianto's orientation or whatever. that was Fantastic ianto insight. he's so much more interesting when he's away from jack it's almost impressive.
i am just. gdddddddddddddddddddddddd. i am so distraught. help meeee
