yes yes blah blah white noise is an influential work of postmodern fiction WHATEVER what really matters is that 17-year-old redacted rooh-afza hated it

#fwiw I did enjoy our postmodernism unit just not the book itself. and that unit introduced me to the concept of simulacra which is one of my #favoritest things ever so.#rooh.txt

- title - love letters.

- pairing - osamu dazai x reader

- word count - 353

- summary - a valentine's day love letter from your lovely osamu.

- tw - reader is referred to as belladonna but otherwise gender-neutral, kinda depressing (it's osamu, though..) but not too bad i think, also new format specifically for letters (lmk if it sucks), lmk if there are any to add!

- a/n at the bottom!

- For Osamu Dazai's beloved's eyes ONLY!! -

- Please refrain from opening until February 14th...how cruel of me. :) -

Dearest belladonna,

I do hope you've heeded my warning and it's February 14th...otherwise this is just another love letter instead of a romantic Valentine's letter. Though I suppose I must get on with it and hope you listened.

I also hope it's not too late to ask you to be my Valentine. Just because we're dating doesn't make that automatic, my dear. It also won't stop me from constantly keeping you on my mind, nor will it stop the accompanying thought - how did I get quite so lucky? You are truly the closest thing to perfection that's ever lived, do you know that? And I'm not entirely sure what I did to have you, but I'm not gonna question it, I'm just going to enjoy the gift.

I owe you my life, belladonna, as insignificant as it is. It's laughable, really, how a mere few years ago I was trying to end everything. But then you came in - you and your eyes that shine like the star we've dubbed ours while you tell me about your day. You, and your sweet honeyed voice praising me, and holding me while I tell you how vile of a human I truly am. You, who look at me through your gorgeous lashes as if I'm worth something. You, you, you. How I love you. How I love that you've given me reason to live: I want to spend more Valentine's days with you. More days with you, simply.

I already have our day planned, my love, and I plan on saying this multiple times today - though I suppose it's different when it's written, don't you agree? - I love you. I hope you'll accept my poor soul as yours for years to come, but let's start small: Will you be my Valentine?* I'll leave you with that, belladonna. I look forward to hearing your response...and hopefully to see you dolled up for our plans tonight.

Yours very truly,

Osamu Dazai

*P.S., I must say I do hope the answer is yes, considering that I made the reservations already...maybe I should have asked sooner.

pumkin speaks: still sorry for disappearing for like 2 months..my bad 😦😦 i hope this (and the other (very few) love letters i've got) will make up for my absence (i say as if i have a double digit following). anywho! i have some referenves to my absolute most favoritest book ever in here, and since i do the opposite of gatekeeping, pleasepleasePLEASE read Almost Home by Joan Bauer. okay, that's all i have, so see you soon! hopefully it's less than 2 months this time...

as always, likes, reblogs, requests, and feedback are vv appreciated! divider credits go to r0se-designs :)

for best experience you should fullview the images to tab through and listen to alan doyle’s “take us home” while reading!

in any case--started this in august, i think? for, obviously, my favoritest book ever, The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard. my scanner was very unkind to me, so if you notice any inconsistencies in tone it’s because i had to go through and manually adjust all the levels /sigh. but i’m very happy overall with how it all turned out, especially kip on the tui-tanata :D

hello fnafheads i am posting yet again THIS TIME um. it’s my own designs/redesigns of the ! people. from uhmmm the books n shit. fazbear frights. these are very rough refs but 👍👍👍👍 yknow.

for Millie i got both uhmmm her when she’s Lame but trying really hard to style herself in a whatever way she can bc she doesn’t have anything cool. then when she gets a glow-up because i think it’d be funnier if she lived honestly. is she wearing bracelets on her sleeves? yes. does she have ANY what she’s doing? no. is she rocking it? yeah. why didn’t she punch freddy’s eyes out btw? that would’ve been my first immediate instinct. like yeah he probably would’ve killed her but also what’s he gonna do he’s busted. if i’m going down i’m taking you with me bitch see you back in the scrapyard bye <3 (he is my most favoritest ever)

umm then there’s kasey and i caaaannoooot stress to you how much i fucking HAATE. HATE her canon design i hate it. she looks so ugly and ALSO it makes no sense bc if she literally didn’t have the means to get any nice clothes in the story and had to try to steal them, then WHY IS SHE DEPICTED WITH NICE CLOTHES?? FULL MAKEUP? JEWELRY? DYED-BLONDE HAIR? i don’t understand. make up your mind.

Sarah!! <3 i think it would be so cool if eleanor pulled a You Won’t Die 😈 on her and forced her to live as some horrific half flesh half metal wire-y mess. i think that’d be more horror. idk i’m tired of people just kind of Dying and That’s It. like kasey didn’t so good for her Ballora fucked right off after she gave the glasses back but still. idk lol Sarah needed more to her. she slipped on a fucking banana peel and all of a sudden her entire body falls apart? the artificial mess of a body she’s been living in for weeks? all it took was one little trip and fall for it to entirely disassemble? what????? 😭😭😭 idk i don’t get it. also i HAVENT MADE THE FUCKED UP VERSION OF HER YET!! SORRY!! i’ll post that later ig whateva

ok um thank you bye.

also i’m like. mapping out an AU to combine all of these stories. or. Have Been for a while. also i hate eleanor so i’m trying to make a reason for her not to exist because i really don’t even know why she does? like idk. who are you. where is circus baby. my beloved circus baby. you freak you poser. idk i mean good for her for fucking everything up for no reason but also why did you do that. why are you real.

#SORRY FOR THE. RAMBLE #digital art #my art #fnaf #fazbear frights #fnaf books #count the ways #dance with me #to be beautiful #millie fitzsimmons #i’ll be fr i don’t know either of the other ppl’s full names LOLL #is kasey’s name even kasey? i don’t know #ok yeah i just googled it #i’m right 👍

Kɪ'Asɪᴀ Mᴏᴏʀᴇ

(kie- a-she-uh more)

"I don't understand why we're going to relationship counseling. I thought we was good?", Urban said as we walked in.

"It's not relationship counseling", I chuckled. "It's a fun couple activity."

"I feel like I'm being set up", he mumbled.

"What can I do for you today?", the receptionist asked as we walked to the counter.

"I booked a couple session", I politely replied.

"Names?"

"Ki’Asia M. and Urban W."

She clicked on the computer for a minute.

"Down this hall, last room to the right", she said and pointed to her left.

"Thank you", I said before grabbing Urban’s hand and walking down the hall.

We made it to our room and I opened the door.

"It looks like a preschool in here", Urban said. "You sure we at the right place?"

"We wouldn't've made it this far if we were at the wrong place", I said pulling him into the room.

.✿.

"It says answer the following question about your partner. Do NOT discuss answers. You will share answers amongst each other once the session is over", I read out loud. "Also please note that the environment you're in is meant to help you bring out your inner child. Do anything (child appropriate) you please."

"Bet", he said and started marking his paper.

I set my paper down and grabbed a pencil.

'1. Favorite color(s)?'

'Maybe grey, blue and black, sorry I forgot :( You look good in every color though!'

'2. Favorite position?'

"Woah", I said as my eyes widened. "How they go from favorite color to favorite position?"

Urban just laughed as he continued writing on his paper.

'Missionary. You like looking in my eyes while you- anyways…'

'3. Favorite thing(s) about them?'

'Your lips, eyes, smile and demeanor. Oh and you’re lips!!'

'4. Something random'

'Stop eating all my damn snacks!!'

'5. Favorite song(s)'

'Uhhhhh, I don’t know. '

'6. Random words of love'

'You are my most favoritest person in the entire world! Keep being you, I love you baby!'

I felt Urban leaning over trying to look at my paper.

"Hey, you're not supposed to look at my paper", I said nudging him back.

"I just want to see what you put?", he laughed.

"You'll see it at the end", I said and covered my paper.

"I'll tell you what I put", he said tryna bribe me out my answers. "I put Ki’Asia has-"

"LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAA", I said and covered my ears. "I can't hear youuuu!"

.✿.

"Have you ever painted before?", Urban asked me.

"Nope", I said putting the finishing touches on my painting.

"You sure? That painting look like Picasso did it."

"Naturally talented I guess", I said and put my brush down.

I looked over his canvas.

"That a flower?"

"It's a bowl of fruit."

"Oh", I said furrowing my eyebrows and tilting my head a little. "It's beautiful baby."

"Something's missing", he hummed.

He put paint on his hands then turned to me and wiped it on my shirt.

"There we go", he said.

"Urb, I'm gonna beat your ass", I said as I started chasing him around the room with a tube of paint.

"Wait babe I'm sorry", he laughed.

I continued chasing him before catching him and squeezing the yellow paint on his shirt.

"I just got this shirt", he chuckled.

"Well too bad", I said and stuck my tongue out at him.

.✿.

"I would make my mom a macaroni heart and flowers just like this for Mother's Day when I was little."

"You used to do this as a kid? My mom would yell at me if I wasted her pasta like this", Urban said shaking his head as he watched me glue pieces of elbow noodles onto a piece of construction paper.

I finished it and held it up for him to see.

"Still got it", I said.

I looked up just in time to see him about to throw glitter on me. I moved out the way and he missed.

"Urb!"

"Why'd you move?", he laughed.

"You're really taking the bring out your inner child thing seriously", I said sitting up.

"I'm having fun", he said and smiled.

"And that's all that matters", I said and leaned over to peck his lips.

I grabbed a bottle of open glitter and dumped it on his head before jumping up from the table and rushing away from him, laughing like a little kid.

He ran up to me and tried to hug me but I ducked.

I ran to the other side of the room.

"Relax I just want a hug", he said calmy with a smile, while walking towards me.

"Nooo", I laughed backing up. "You're covered in paint and glitter."

"We could be twins", he chuckled.

'Crap', I mumbled as my back hit the wall.

He sped up and quickly wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Let go of me!", I yelled playfully as I struggled trying to get out his embrace.

"I love you", he hummed as he rocked us side to side.

"I love you too", I chuckled as I gave up.

Taako chucks a small plastic bag into his sister’s lap as he slides into the passenger seat of their car.

“What’s this?”

“Gift.”

A gift from Spencer’s, if the writing on the bag is any indication. Lup side-eyes Taako suspiciously. “For why?”

“Um, ‘cause I wanted to? Can’t a guy do something nice for his sister without being questioned like a damn criminal? Fuck.”

She crinkles her nose at him before turning her attention to the bag. Cautiously, she reaches in and removes a rolled-up black t-shirt. She unfurls it to find a well-endowed anime girl in lingerie staring demurely back at her.

“Taako, why the fuck did you buy me this?” she asks flatly.

“What, you don’t want matching hentai shirts with your favoritest brother?”

“I don’t think anyone on the goddamn fucking planet wants that.” Lup stuffs the shirt back into the tiny plastic bag and throws it back to Taako. “You’re fucking insane. I can’t believe you. Did you actually walk up to the cashier like, ‘Hi, yes, two hentai shirts for me, please’?”

Taako shrugs. “They work at fucking Spencer’s. Their whole job is to ring up weird shit for weird people.”

“Yeah, but—” She pauses, and squints at Taako. “When did you get your nose pierced.”

He raises a hand to the small sterling silver stud in the side of his nose. “Today. Lunch break. Right after Spencer’s.”

Lup raises an eyebrow. “Please don’t tell me—”

“Yes, Lup, I got it done at Claire’s.” Taako throws his head back, exasperated. “Please don’t make me hear a lecture about it.”

“No, you’re gonna hear a lecture about it.” She throws the gear shift into reverse and begins backing out. “Taako, why?”

He shrugs. “I got paid today. And I was bored.”

Lup throws him another funny look as she turns to face forward again. “I can’t believe you. You’re gonna get an infection.”

“You’re just jealous ‘cause I look so much cooler than you now.”

“You’re not gonna look cooler than me when you have a big nasty rotten bump on your nose, idiot.”

“’S fine. The guy looked like he knew what he was doing.”

“How does one ‘look like’ they know how to pierce a nose?”

“Oh, you know. Kinda goth. Lots of piercing himself.” Taako turns his face towards the passenger side window, away from his sister.

“Oh, my God,” Lup responds, and Taako says a few curse words in his head. Hiding his face isn’t enough to keep his sister from reading him like a picture book for babies. “Taako?”

He says nothing, keeping his eyes glued to the view through his window. She gives his shoulder a quick squeeze. “T, you did not get your nose pierced just because you thought the guy who works at Claire’s was hot.”

He turns back to face her, throwing his hands up defensively. “Oh, so you’re allowed to swoon over the guy at the creepy phone case stand all day, every day, but when I just happen to notice the guy who works at Claire’s is objectively attractive, I’m the weirdo?”

She’s grinning like this is the funniest thing that’s ever happened to her. “I didn’t get a sketchy-ass nose piercing from the guy I like.”

“You bought a phone case from him, that’s kind of the same thing.”

“It is not! I’m not going to get an infection from a phone case!” She is full-on laughing at him now “Why didn’t you just buy something normal?”

“Yeah, sure. ‘Hey, hot guy who works here, I’m a grown-ass fucking adult man and I’d like to purchase this, fucking… JoJo Siwa hairbow. I’m so not a creep-ass weirdo, please go on a date with me.’”

“As if getting your fucking nose pierced there makes you seem any more normal!”

“Whatever. You’re just jealous,” Taako repeats. He turns away once more, and crosses his arms, signaling a desire to end this conversation.

A Flower's Father

Pairing: Dilf!Bucky Barnes x Teacher!Reader

Word Count: 5.2k

Warnings: none this is so beautifully fluffy

Genre: fluff- just fluff

Summary: Bucky's daughter has some thoughts on his social life and thinks her teacher can help

***

You're humming along softly to the music coming from your laptop as you straighten up the front of your classroom.

"Oh miss y/l/n!" You hear the bright voice of the last student in your class.

"Oh miss Liiiiily!" You spin around to face her as you reply in the same sing-song voice she used to call you. The young girl in your third grade class has wavy brown hair and bright green eyes, her face is littered with freckles and there's a small gap between her two front teeth.

"I finished putting away the books by the reading circle, and I pushed all the chairs and I put back the markers by-"

"Woah there- correct me if I'm wrong sunshine but I do believe I only asked you to clean up the reading circle."

"You did but then I saw more stuff I could do so I did that too- is there anything else I can help with?" She blinks up at you, smiling brightly.

"You have done more than enough for today Lily, you're an exceptional little helper. Thank you." You finally stand up straight when you notice shifting by the door. In the doorway stands a tall man with a leather jacket and gloves on. It's not nearly that cold yet and you subtly step forward to put yourself between the stranger and your student. "Hello, can I help you with something?" You ask. He blinks at you and gestures towards Lily who finally goes-

"Daddy!" She yells hopping in place.

"Oh! You must be Mr. Barnes then. I'm y/n- I don't believe you were at parents' night."

"Daddy doesn't like talking to people- except me and uncle Stevie and uncle Sam." Lily tells you. "Daddy this is my favoritest most bestest teacher ever." She tells him.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are sweeter than sugar little miss Lily?" You ask her with a smile.

"You do!" She giggles.

"Well at least someone says it." You wink.

"See daddy isn't she great?" She looks at him. You clear your throat.

"Lily why don't you go grab your backpack so daddy can take you home and I'll see you in the morning okay?" You ask bending to do your short secret handshake with her. Low five, high five, back hand, back hand, fist bump. She runs over to her cubby and grabs her bag before running over to her dad.

"Bye miss y/l/n! See you tomorrow!" She calls as her dad grabs her hand. You wave back smiling at her as they leave without her dad saying anything. You frown a little at the interaction. He seems to be his daughter's total opposite. While she's talkative and friendly he's quiet- probably awkward around new people. No wonder he's never come in to pick her up before today.

Meanwhile Bucky spent the entire interaction absolutely losing his mind. He finally met the teacher that made his little girl excited for school every day and he couldn't utter two words to you! Nothing he wanted to say felt right, and before he could even finish processing his options his ever talkative daughter had managed to brand him a socially inept loner with only two friends.

As you're finishing up the last of your lesson the final bell for the day rings.

"Oop- alright everybody pack up, gather your things! Make sure to write down the homework before you leave! Oh! Remember to-" you stop for a second when you hear a knock on the door frame. You glance back to see a large blond man. "Uh remember to bring your workbooks tomorrow!" You finish and turn your attention back to the man. "Hi, sorry, how can I help you?" You ask smiling at him.

"Oh don't worry about it. I'm just here to pick up Lily." The man tells you.

"Lily? Sorry- uh can I get your name?" You ask.

"Sure! Steve- Steve Rogers."

"Alright, if you'll just give me a second- I have to check that you're authorized to pick her up since you're not her father, Mr. Barnes or Mr. Wilson who I believe gets her most days."

"Mr. Barnes? You mean Bucky? Man, it's been a while since I heard anyone call him Mr. Barnes." Steve chuckles, following you to your desk where you check who is on file to pick up Lily.

"Does he not go by Mr. Barnes? He didn't correct me when I met him before- oh geez. I hope that didn't bother him. I wish he'd said something if he wasn't comfortable with that." You frown. Your frown deepens when Steve laughs.

"No wonder Lily likes you so much." Steve muses.

"I'm sorry?" You tilt your head at him.

"Lily talks about you a lot. You're even sweeter than she says is all." He shrugs. You flip through your cabinet as you respond to him.

"Ah- Lily's a wonderful girl. Anyway your name is here so- you're good to take her home. Thank you for understanding all the protocol." You smile at him.

"Hey I get it. I think it's great that you check these things. It makes me feel good knowing my niece's school takes her safety seriously. I know it makes Bucky feel better too." Steve nods. You quickly grab something on your desk and hold it out to him.

"Oh can you- pass this off to Mr. Barnes? The third and fourth graders are going on a trip to the zoo and each class needs two parent volunteers." You explain.

"And you want Buck to volunteer?" Steve asks with a curious smile.

"Lily wants him to! Actually she kind of insisted I at least ask." You say. Steve leans down to look at Lily who's standing next to him.

"What are you plotting little flower?" Steve asks her.

"Nothing. I just wanna go to the zoo." Lily shrugs innocently. Steve stands to his full height.

"He doesn't have to chaperone if he really doesn't want to as long as he lets me know soon enough to ask someone else." You add.

"I'll pass on the message." Steve says.

"Thank you, have a good day. I'll see you on Monday Lily." You say waving at them both as Steve walks Lily out of your classroom.

"Chaperoning?" Bucky deadpans looking from Steve to his daughter.

"Apparently Lily insisted her teacher at least ask." Steve says smiling as he leans against his hand on the island.

"What are you up to Lily?" Bucky narrows his eyes suspiciously at his daughter.

"That's what I asked her." Steve says looking at her.

"Nothing! But you do totally need more friends dad." She shrugs.

"Oh do I? And I should be looking for those friends on your zoo field trip? You want me to be best friends with your teacher?" Bucky cocks an eyebrow.

"It doesn't have to be my teacher, there will be other adults. Parents, the other teachers- although if you pick a teacher mine is definitely the best." Lily says making Steve laugh in spite of himself.

"Lily- I don't need your help making friends okay." Bucky tells her.

"Tell that to your two person social circle." She shrugs as Steve can't hide the way his mouth drops open.

"Okay- that's enough of that. You're not hanging out with Sam anymore." Bucky scoffs.

"Fine but you're gonna need his help if you wanna get my teacher to like you. Uncle Stevie can't help you, he's just as bad as you are." Lily says skipping out of the kitchen.

"Now why am I getting attacked?" Steve blinks.

"Who said anything about trying to get your teacher to like me you rugrat?!" Bucky yells after her.

"Buck you crushin on Lil's teacher? I mean she's fine but- since when are you like that?" Sam chuckles strolling into the kitchen.

"You know me giving you a key for emergencies doesn't mean you can just bypass knocking when I'm home. And I'm not crushing on Lily's teacher." Bucky says.

"Lily told her teacher to ask Bucky to volunteer for a field trip." Steve says.

"She thinks I need to expand my social circle- a notion I'm sure she picked up from you." Bucky points at Sam.

"Hey if the shoe fits Cinderella- be back by midnight." Sam laughs.

"She also thinks you are going to help Bucky get Miss y/l/n to like him." Steve says.

"I've met the woman once I don't know where Lily got the idea that I'm trying to get her to like me. I mean you pick her up the most."

"Lily's a smart girl. I guess something in that one introduction told her something you didn't notice." Sam shrugs.

"That's ridiculous." Bucky rolls his eyes.

"Well- if you don't wanna volunteer I could get behind going." Sam jokes.

"Shut up. I'll go. But I'm going because Lily wants me to. Not because of her teacher."

"If you say so man." Sam chuckles.

You clap your hands from the center of the classroom to get the kids' attention as you walk to the front.

"Alright kids settle down- we're about to start loading the buses." You call out.

"Am I late? I- had to run back home and grab Lily's lunch." Bucky says slipping into the classroom.

"You made it just in time. We're about to get them on the buses. Mr. Barnes this is Alexander's mom Ms. Louis. Ms. Louis this is Mr. Barnes he's Lily's father." You introduce the two parents.

"Hello Ms. Louis." Bucky nods.

"Oh- please- call me Dalilah." Ms. Louis says with a slow drawl that you pretend not to notice as you suppress a chuckle.

"Uh- how can I help, Miss y/l/n?" Bucky turns his attention to you.

"Right now we have to get the kids lined up and outside so- oh here's an attendance sheet for the kids in my class." You say handing him a clipboard.

"Cool. Thanks."

"Everyone get in line so we can get on our bus." You put your hand up as you walk to the door for them to line up. Once everyone is in line you do a quick headcount before leaving the classroom with Bucky and Dalilah near the middle and end of the line respectively.

"Are we going to be the only class on the bus?" Bucky asks you as you load the students.

"Oh- no there's two third grade classes and two fourth grade classes with 20-25 students each so we'll be sharing the bus with the other third grade class." You explain.

"And at the zoo? How are we dividing the students?" He asks.

"We're just going to move as a class- that's why we needed 2 parents per class. 20 students and 1 teacher is a bit much." You say.

"Oh- that makes sense, yeah." Bucky nods.

"Mr. Barnes- you should sit beside me on the bus." Ms. Louis says not so subtly placing her hand on his shoulder and you once again have to stifle a laugh.

"Uh- sorry I have to talk to Miss y/l/n about one of Lily's tests. It would probably be easier if I sat with her." Bucky says awkwardly, sliding away from Ms. Louis.

"Maybe on the way back then?" She bats her lashes at him as you slip away to get on the bus behind the last of your kids.

"Uh maybe." Bucky says scrambling onto the bus and into the seat you're standing next to.

"Make room kids, Miss. Conner's class will be joining us on this bus okay everyone." You tell them, settling in beside Bucky for the bus ride to the zoo. Once the other class is on the bus and the fourth graders have been loaded on their bus your ride to the zoo is about twenty minutes long.

"So, are you excited Mr. Barnes?" You ask once the bus has left the school.

"To watch a bunch of kids at the zoo?"

"Well- yeah sure. The zoo is nice- even with 20 eight year olds."

"I don't usually do the chaperone thing." He tells you.

"Ah- well I'm sure you'll be fine. After all Lily seems to think you'll totally kill it. Plus I'll be around the whole time so all you have to do is help me not lose any kids." You joke.

"Is that a problem you've had often on field trips?" He blinks at you.

"No- that was a joke. I'm actually pretty good at not losing kids thank you very much. But two sets of eyes are better than one Mr. Barnes."

"Bucky." He says.

"What?"

"Call me Bucky. No one- calls me Mr. Barnes." He explains.

"Oh- okay. Bucky." You nod.

When you arrive and the group of children are off of the busses you take a moment to get their attention.

"Alright kids find your parent volunteers! They should be wearing the same colored shirt as you!" You shout over the group of kids before walking over to the other teachers.

"Ah field trips- what an experience." Ms. Thomas muses.

"Okay so it's 10:30 now- we meet at the pavilion at 12:30 for lunch and get everyone back on the buses by 1:30, 2?" You ask checking your watch.

"Sounds like a plan." Ms. Adams nods.

"Okay everyone knows what route they're taking then?" You ask.

"Yep." Miss. Conner nods.

"In that case, we'll see each other at lunch then." You say walking before back over to your class.

"Everything good?" Bucky asks you.

"Oh- yeah we were just going over the itinerary." You tell him as you do a headcount of your students.

"Ms. Louis did attendance while you were talking to the other teachers." Bucky tells you.

"Oh- thank you. Alright kids we're going to head this way!" You clap walking towards one of the paths. Your path starts with the primates. From there you and your students see the big cats and then the pandas. The reptile house interests some of the kids and freaks out some of the others so you allow some of the kids to wait outside with Ms. Louis. Then you pass the birds where everyone gets excited watching the flamingos and toucans in their habitats. You hit the aquatic animals after that and the kids get to catch the penguins getting fed which is obviously entertaining for all of them. By the time you've made it through most of the zoo it's about time to start going to the pavilion for lunch so from there you head to meet the other classes for lunch.

When you get to the pavilion Miss. Conner is already there with her third-grade class and Ms. Adams has made it too. By the time you've settled your class at some of the lunch tables, Ms. Thomas has also arrived with the last group. Before you can grab a seat Miss Conner snatches you over to where she and Ms. Adams are already sitting with their lunches.

"I've been dying to ask you all day who is that fine man in your group y/n?" Miss. Conner asks.

"You mean Mr. Barnes? He's a parent. There's his daughter Lily." You explain.

"You have to give us more than that!" Ms. Adams says.

"Is he married?" Miss. Conner asks.

"Single?" Ms. Adams adds.

"Divorced?" Ms. Thomas chimed in.

"Well I think he's not married. I've never seen a ring and Lily's emergency contacts are two men who are also very attractive. She calls them uncle Stevie and uncle Sam. One of them picks her up most of the time. There's never been a woman to get her and Lily's never mentioned a mom so-"

"So he's single?" Miss Conner squeals.

"I did not say all that. He's very quiet I don't know much about him in all honesty. Lily claims he's not exactly the social type." You tell the others.

"He's getting pretty social with your other volunteer right about now." Ms. Thomas chuckles. You glance over your shoulder and sigh.

"Ms. Louis has been flirting with him all day and he's obviously super not comfortable with it. It's like the woman can't take a hint." You drop your head.

"You might wanna go rescue him Y/n." Ms. Adams snickers.

"At this point, I'm quite tired of her myself. I'll catch you later." You sigh standing from the table with what's left of your lunch to save Bucky.

"I just think it's so rare for dads to volunteer for field trips. I'd expect Mrs. Barnes to be here honestly Mr. Barnes." You catch Ms. Louis's completely unveiled attempt at flirting.

"Uh actually there isn't a Mrs-"

"Mr. Barnes, Ms. Louis! How's lunch?" You ask slotting yourself between the two of them.

"Well I was just telling Mr. Barnes how admirable it is that he's volunteered for this trip. Not a lot of fathers do that." Ms. Louis says.

"Oh! Lily really wanted him to come. I was actually really glad when he confirmed that he'd do it." You smile at Mr. Barnes.

"Yeah- I mean you know- anything for my little girl." Bucky shrugs.

"Such a devoted father." Ms. Louis gushes.

"I mean with a kid like Lily it's hard not to be devoted. She's one of my best students." You say.

"She adores you as a teacher. I think you make it easy for her to excel." Bucky nods at you.

"I hope I make it easy for everyone to excel, but thank you." You smile.

"Alexander adores her too. She's clearly a miracle worker with kids don't you think Mr. Barnes?" Ms. Louis leans forward to look at him. You almost want to laugh at the way Bucky's face subtly shows his growing irritation.

"It's uh- yeah she's- pretty great." Bucky nods.

"We'll have to get the kids on the buses soon." You mutter, checking your watch. "Bucky do you mind helping me collect trash from the kids?"

"Absolutely." Bucky stands quickly and rushes to grab a trash bag. Bucky walking around with a trash bag prompts a few of the other volunteers to also gather trash from the collection of students. Once everyone's packed up you lead the kids back onto the buses and Bucky pulls you into the seat next to him before Ms. Louis can take it.

"That eager to sit next to me Bucky?" You joke with a smile.

"More eager to stay away from Ms. Louis." He says with a huff and you nod. You don't notice but he grimaces at how his answer probably came off. "I mean- not that you aren't great company it's just-"

"I get it- no need to explain yourself Mr. Barnes- uh Bucky. No need to explain yourself Bucky. I know Ms. Louis has been- a bit friendly to say the least." You reassure him.

"Friendly might be an understatement." He scoffs. You throw your head back as a laugh bubbles out of your throat. Bucky allows himself to smile as a feeling he can't name warms his chest at being the cause of such a wonderful sound.

"Yeah- it probably is an understatement." You say. Bucky chuckles a little but can't think of anything to say despite wanting to continue talking to you so he lets the silence drag. When you get back to the school and the kids are in the classroom he finally thinks of something to say.

"Do you- need any help with the students til the parents show up." He asks you. There's about half an hour left until pickup though you're sure several parents will show up early.

"Ah I'm sure Lily's ready to go home. You don't have to stay. Thank you for offering though!" You smile.

"We can stay if you need us Miss. Y/l/n. I don't mind. Daddy doesn't either." Lily skips around her dad as she talks.

"I can handle it little flower I promise. You take the excuse to leave early." You say squatting to her eye level. "I say you make daddy get you ice cream." You suggest in a stage whisper.

"Ice cream?! Daddy let's get ice cream!" Lily says excitedly.

"You sure changed your mind quick." Bucky laughs.

"You learn the ways of children very quickly when you teach them." You shrug triumphantly.

"Well- guess I lost this one. If the princess wants ice cream then I can no longer stay to help." Bucky chuckles.

"Yes well have a nice weekend." You smile. Bucky and Lily both wish you the same before she skips out of the classroom with her father in tow.

"Hey Lily! How was your Zoo trip the other day?" Steve asks as he walks into Bucky's kitchen.

"Fun! Daddy spent the whole day talking to Miss. Y/l/n. They sat together on the bus, talked during the whole walk, and she even sat with him at lunch." Lily reports.

"You know you were supposed to be there to look at zoo animals. Not me." Bucky looks at her incredulously.

"Uncle Sam told me to look out for anything interesting." Lily shrugs.

"Uncle Sam needs to mind his business." Bucky rolls his eyes.

"Are you going to ask Miss. Y/l/n on a date?" Lily asks.

"No. Why would I do that?" Bucky sighs.

"Because you like her." Lily shrugs.

"Why do you think he likes her Lily?" Steve asks with an amused smile.

"He spent all day talking to her even when he wasn't trying to avoid Ms. Louis." She shrugs.

"Alright missy that's enough." Bucky says.

"Ms. Louis?" Steve frowns.

"Alexander's mom. She kept hitting on dad." Lily says skipping out of the kitchen.

"Look at you cassanova." Steve laughs.

"Shut up. Are you picking her up tomorrow or is Sam?" Bucky rolls his eyes.

"You are." Steve says.

"What? I'm supposed to be at the shop tomorrow."

"Well do some rearranging bud. I think the kid's right." Steve shrugs.

"Right about what?" Bucky blinks at his friend.

"You should ask out the teacher. If you like her so much." Steve explains.

"Between you Sam and my daughter you are supposed to be the rational logic using adult. Why are you agreeing with my eight year old?!" Bucky sighs.

"You can't stay single forever. And don't use Lily as an excuse she clearly wants you to have a love life just as badly as you need one. You deserve it. Plus if you ask out her teacher you don't have to go through the awkward 'I have a kid' talk or worrying if Lily will like her. She already knows and they get along great. No drawbacks."

"This is ridiculous." Bucky huffs.

"Just give it a shot. The worse that can happen is she says no. In which case I'll do my best to make sure you don't have to see her again and in a couple months Lil will have a new teacher anyway." Steve shrugs.

In a couple months Lily will have a new teacher anyway. That's what Bucky tells himself as he walks with Lily back towards your classroom. A knock on the doorframe pulls your attention away from your computer where you're entering grades. You look up and see Bucky in the doorway.

"Mr. Barnes. Is everything okay? Did you not find Lily outside?" You ask with a concerned frown as you walk over to him.

"Hi Miss. Y/l/n!" Lily pokes her head into the doorframe.

"Oh- nevermind then- did you leave something little flower?" You look at Lily.

"Nope!" She shakes her head.

"In that case- to what do I owe the pleasure?" You ask with a smile.

"Well I uh- I wanted to ask you something actually." Bucky says looking around the classroom.

"Ask away!" You tell him.

"I was just wondering if you- wanted to grab dinner together sometime." He forces himself to look at you while he asks the question.

"Dinner?" You blink at him. The question caught you off guard honestly.

"Is that incredibly stupid? Have I- overstepped?" He grimaces.

"No! No, not at all I just- I was surprised. One second." You say. You turn your back to him and subtly blow out a breath, smiling as you walk back to your desk hoping your excitement isn't noticeable. You quickly scribble your number down on a sticky note and walk back over to him. "Here. My phone number, you can call me and we'll plan something." You say with a smile.

"Uh- yeah yeah okay. Sounds good." He nods.

"Great. Have a good night and- I hope to hear from you soon Bucky." You say walking back over to your desk and sitting back down to your work.

"Yeah- you too." Bucky says cheesing almost too hard as he walks Lily back out of the school.

"See dad? Told you you should ask her on a date." Lily smiles as she skips down the hall.

"Oh hush." Bucky chuckles.

"Make sure you call her!" Lily tells him

And he did. He called you later that evening, around 6, not wanting to call too soon but not wanting to call you too late at night either. You giggled through the whole conversation as you listen to Bucky talk through potential date ideas. You eventually agree on a little Italian place that Bucky swears by and with a quiet good night your call ends after almost an hour.

Your date is scheduled for that weekend, Saturday. Bucky would've scheduled it for earlier but he figured during the week would be too busy for you and he didn't want to schedule it for too soon. He's extremely nervous as he pulls up to the restaurant at 6:45. You're supposed to meet him at 7 but he wanted to be early, to meet you when you arrive.

"Bucky!" You call when you spot him near the entrance. He spins around to face you with flowers in his hand.

"Hey! Did you find the place okay?" He asks with a smile.

"Yeah! I hope you weren't waiting too long."

"Not at all. I brought you flowers, although I realize it- will probably be awkward to have them at the table all night." Bucky chuckles as he hands you the bouquet of wildflowers.

"Thank you. They're gorgeous and I think it'll be great to keep them at the table honestly. We'll make it work." You take the flowers from him and take his outstretched arm for him to lead you into the restaurant. He talks to the host who seems familiar with him as they talk all the way to your table.

"A server will be with you shortly." The host says and walks away.

"I take it you come here a lot." You muse with a smile.

"Oh uh kinda- Lily loves the place so- we're not strangers." He shrugs.

"That's cute. What's her favorite thing on the menu?" You ask.

"She usually orders the spaghetti- she's a huge fan of their breadsticks." Bucky laughs.

"Well- breadsticks are good to like." You nod.

"Any idea what you're gonna order?" He asks.

"What do you recommend?" You look at him.

"Uh the tortellini carbonara is pretty good- and the angel olio. And- if you can't decide alfredo's always a solid goto." Bucky points at menu options.

"Those all- sound like amazing options."

"Whatever you pick will be good I promise." Bucky smiles. When the waiter comes by you both order, you the angel olio, and him the tortellini.

"So uh, how long have you been teaching?" Bucky asks.

"About six years now." You tell him.

"Has it been third grade the whole time or- did you start elsewhere?" He asks.

"I worked at preschool first actually and then I started working at Lily's school 2 years ago." You explain.

"How do you like it? Better or worse than preschool?"

"If every student I ever had was like Lily, I'd say it's better for sure- but sometimes you get students that make you just- sigh. Either way I love teaching." You shrug.

"From what I know you're pretty amazing at it so-" he smiles. By now your food has arrived and you have to remember to eat as you continue talking.

"Thank you. So- what do you do?" You ask him.

"I uh- own a bookstore." He says.

"Really? That's so cool." You say.

"Yeah- it was real instrumental in the whole reintegration thing."

"Reintegration?" You frown.

"I'm a veteran." He shrugs.

"Oh!"

"Don't tell me you didn't wonder what was up with the metal arm."

"I- never thought about it all that much actually. Life happens. Plus you usually cover it." You shrug.

"I do- people stare. Most kids think it cool but their parents usually don't so- I cover it to pick her up."

"I think it's cool." You tell him with a small smile.

"Do you now?" He chuckles.

"Totally. It's attached to someone I think is cool so- it's cool by association." You say.

"You're sweet." Bucky says and you chuckle as you answer.

"Like candy, I'm told. So- Steve and Sam are they like- your best friends or-"

"Steve and I grew up together- he's basically a brother to me. Sam was his friend and- we didn't always get along at first but- he grew on me for sure. Plus- Lily loves him so- I keep him around." Bucky says with a thoughtful smile.

"Just- outta curiosity- is Lily's mom in the picture? I mean- Lily never mentions her and, I've only ever seen one of you three pick her up."

"Lily's mom-"

"If it's- you know not something you're comfortable with we don't have to go there. I'm just being nosy." You shrug.

"No no- it's fine I, I just wasn't expecting it. But typically people wanna get to know each other on dates right? It's a valid thing to ask." He says.

"So- if you don't mind, can you tell me?"

"Lily- doesn't have a mom. Well I mean- she does technically but- like there's no woman in my life connected to Lily. I adopted her." Bucky laughs slightly at the awkward way he tried to say that.

"Oh! When? Was she old enough to know she's adopted or-"

"She was 2- so not quite old enough to understand. She knows now though. I think she never really talks about it because it doesn't matter to her but she knows. It doesn't change who her family is but if she ever wants to find her biological parents- I have names."

"What made you want to adopt a kid?"

"Well- when I came home and got this arm- I had a real tough time trying to figure out what the hell the rest of my life was gonna look like. The white picket fence with the perfect family that I thought I'd have no longer- made sense. I knew I still wanted a family but- honestly it felt like the traditional route wasn't gonna work out all that well. So- I opened a book store and once I felt... adjusted enough to care for someone other than myself I looked into adopting."

"Do you want more kids?" You ask.

"Maybe- I don't know how Lily would adjust to siblings but- I think I'd like more kids- adopted or biological. Doesn't matter- depends on where life takes me I guess." He shrugs.

"I think Lily would make a great big sister." You tell him.

"Think so?"

"Yeah."

"Me too." He nods. "I think it's my turn to ask questions."

"Ask away Mr. Barnes." You smile.

"Do you have any kids?" He asks.

"Nope. Although teaching sometimes makes it feel like I've got 20." You joke.

"Do you want kids?"

"Yeah- whenever the time feels right."

"You seem so normal." Bucky says after a moment.

"Normal?" You ask.

"Yeah- I come with all this baggage and you- like don't."

"Baggage is a weird way to refer to life experience." You say.

"A military veteran with a metal limb is just 'life experience' to you?"

"Sure- it's not the happiest life experience sure but it's part of what makes you you- and so far I like what I've seen." You smile. You and Bucky spend another hour just chatting away even after the food has long been finished and by the time you're making your way out of the restaurant you feel like you've known him for years. Bucky walks you all the way to your car with your hand in his.

"I had a lot of fun tonight." You tell him once you reach your vehicle.

"Me too- thanks for agreeing to this."

"Thanks for inviting me. I uh- hope we can do this again sometime." You say. Bucky leans forward and plants a delicate kiss on your cheek.

"We will." He says softly against your skin. "Goodnight." He adds stepping back.

"Goodnight. Get home safely." You say wistfully as you get into your car.

"You too." He says walking away. You glance at the flowers you put in your passenger seat as you start the car. You're beaming the entire way home- you can't help yourself. You don't go on dates often and this has definitely been one of the best. You hope that whatever your future with Bucky is just as great or better than tonight.

Fish in the Pool

⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆝⋆.˚ 𓇼⋆ ｡𖦹 ⋆｡°𓆉✮⋆⭒𓆟⋆｡˚𖦹𓆜✩⋆𓇼

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KOKOMI!!!!!!!! My favoritest character ever!!!!! Fun fact her bday is the same day as one of my friends and the girl I have a crush on kinda and her twin brother which is pretty wacky. Anyway take this lovely fic bc she (plus most of the Genshin women let’s be honest) needs more content /lh!!!!!

(Also happy late bday to Hitori Gotoh aka Bocchi!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so sorry I love Bocchi the Rock sm it may be my favorite anime but it’s hard to write for rn 😭😭)

“

Painfully professional and introverted to the end, Kokomi spends her birthday alone, even when her devotees conspire to give her the day off. That is, until the Guuji Yae, with her impeccable and enigmatic ability to read people’s hearts, arrives.

”

Tickle fic!! Lee!Kokomi, Ler!Yae Miko (platonic). I had to write this fast, and in the dark, and without my glasses lmao, but it’s all for my best girl!!!!

⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆝⋆.˚ 𓇼⋆ ｡𖦹 ⋆｡°𓆉✮⋆⭒𓆟⋆｡˚𖦹𓆜✩⋆𓇼

Kokomi was not the type of person who should have been the Divine Priestess.

Sure, she could contrive for victory with minimal casualties, negotiate peace with a fearsome god, keep the economy of Watatsumi afloat (ha, fish pun), and memorize the faces of all its inhabitants, but it was the workload and public image requisite that left her drained and achey at the end of the day. Lately, she hadn’t even been able to get through a chapter of her book without falling asleep in the middle. And it always ended up as wasted effort because she could never remember what she’d read.

So it was only a minor surprise that, on the one day of the year where she should get a break, her soldiers and priestesses did everything in their power to give her one.

She’d issued directives on what should happen if she needed to step away for a full day, but she’d never seriously intended to use them for something as trivial as her birthday. They were only for important overseas meetings and such matters!

Yet, Gorou had clandestinely arranged for him, the priestesses, and the rest of the army to take over for Madame Sangonomiya so she could have her day of rest. All without her knowledge — and only mild suspicion.

Kokomi was endlessly grateful and majorly anxious, but Gorou reassured her that everything would go smoothly.

“It’s only for one day! Besides, since the war is over and everything is settling down, we don’t have as much to manage,” Gorou yipped with a canine-filled smile. “So rest, Your Excellency. And have a happy birthday!”

“Thank you, General. You don’t know how much this means to me.” Kokomi smiled, eyes liquid, which instantly flustered Gorou as he tried to prevent her from crying. Then they sent her off with a huge cake and congratulations.

And, Kokomi was… alone. As she blew out her candles, she blew also a chill into her bedroom. No one there to sing. No one there to cheer. No one to touch.

That was another thing: Kokomi was not the type of person to have many friends.

Most people spent their birthdays with family or friends, didn’t they? Yet, where were hers? Occupied, either running her island or off on their own. All she had were her books and the pop of jellyfish droplets to keep her company.

Kokomi pulled her fingers through frazzled salmon-to-periwinkle hair. She curled into herself on her bed, and her Hydro fish pressed into her skin where she wished another source of warmth could. Her searching stare found her window.

Maybe… she should go out to the sea.

Kokomi fixed her hair and trotted downstairs. Everything was pink and made of seashell, pearls, or coral. But there was one addition to her living room that was, while still pink, made of fur instead.

Kokomi gasped.

Yae Miko, her pen pal, lounged on her satin couch and toyed with the jellyfish lamp on the table next to her. She turned to regard Kokomi with a satisfied grin. Kokomi narrowed her eyes at the vixen, even while her heart leapt.

“‘Fried Tofu with All the Frills,’” she called, “how did you get into my house?”

“Did you forget? My connections are infinite. I’m impossible to hide from.” Yae chuckled. “And I could never miss our precious Priestess’ special day, now could I? Especially since you seem to be all alone.” Her voice pouted with her, a tone Kokomi knew all too well. “I can practically see the tears falling from your big, blue eyes.”

Kokomi did not wipe her eyes with her sleeve, because she knew better. “I’m surprised the cold-hearted Lady Yae would put in the work to come all the way over here. Especially since she’s always so focused on stealing my general,” she jabbed back.

“Possessive, are we?” They both glared. Then they fell into laughter as Kokomi fully descended. She floated into the kitchen for a kettle and a pair of teacups.

“Tea, my lady?”

“Oh, no. I couldn’t ask you to lift a finger on your special day. I insist.” Yae ushered Kokomi away from the stove and took the dishes from her hands, already holding a bundle of sakura leaves. Kokomi looked at her in surprise.

“Well, thank you, Lady Yae.”

A moment later, Miko and Kokomi were on the couch again, catching up and discussing the latest Yae Publishing House novel. Leaning against a pillow, Kokomi was effervescing about The Legend of Sword again, which Miko was so sick of hearing about, and Kokomi was, honestly, starting to drift off when—

Yae’s claw-like nails fanned over her knee, a shiver that tore straight up to her brain. Kokomi yelped and immediately covered her mouth.

“Don’t fall asleep on me now. And, my my, what was that adorable sound?” Her near purr was anything but quizzical. “Was it… because of this?”

Again, Yae scribbled over her knee and was met with an almost-giggle and a kick. She tutted.

“You’re always so jumpy when I come near.” Speaking slowly, she met Kokomi’s prey-round eyes with a simper. “Could it be that you’re not used to touch like this? You must not be, always buried in your books. Even on your birthday.” With each word, her nails inched farther up Kokomi’s leg.

Kokomi squeezed her eyes shut and pulled away. “Wahahait, Yahahae!”

“You must’ve wanted this, right? I could tell from the beginning.” Yae shifted closer, skating her nails under Kokomi’s chin. She inhaled. “Well, then, allow me,” said Yae. “Consider it my gift to you.”

Yae’s fingers traced the tops of Kokomi’s thighs. She pulled her closer by her wrists, sitting on her shins. Kokomi buried her face in the pillow under her.

“STAhahahap! It tihihickles!” Giggles rose out of her like bubbles.

“Does it? How shocking.” Yae’s Electro tazed her nerves. Jumping, Kokomi squeaked.

“EHEHaha thahahat’s unfahahahair!”

“Come now, you should be familiar enough with the policies of war.”

She was right. Maybe Kokomi could have tried to strategize her way out of this, but in all practicality, she was trapped. And maybe she wanted to be.

Licking her chops, Yae dug into Kokomi’s hosiery-clad flesh. She squealed and gripped the pillow and shook her head until her hair was mussed.

“THIHIhis is so undihiHIHIgnified AHAHa nohoHO!” her shrill voice pleaded.

“And?” Yae laughed. “Who are you to be embarrassed of? Me? I already don’t revere you nearly as much as that fluffy dog child does.”

“Hehehe’s my GEHENeraHAL!” Kokomi screamed as Yae found her hips, disregarding the loose fabric that flowed around her. The fox traced circles around her bones, pinched and prodded at her soft pudge, flicked her nails over shivering muscles. Kokomi found herself flat on her back, shadowed by the predator that was Yae Miko.

“I can’t neglect this little one, can I?” Miko rested the points of her nails on the pocket of Kokomi’s abdomen, swelling with breaths and laughter. Her shuddery giggles answered. Tactically, she sucked in her stomach wherever Yae’s fingers hovered.

“Ehehehe nahahat THEHEHEHERE!” Kokomi hiccuped and squealed again while Yae squeezed her sides and scratched the ridges of her umbilicus. Her hands flew to defend from Miko’s weapons of choice, but defeat was imminent. “AWAHAHA ohohoKAHAY! CeheheHEHEASE!”

At that divinely ordained moment, a wheezing and whistling that did not belong to Kokomi could be heard from the kitchen. Sighing as if disappointed, Yae halted her attack and slipped off the couch to the sakura tea. Kokomi curled around the pillow and buried the remnants of her tears and laughter in it.

“Youhohu’re a cruhuel mistress…” Kokomi breathed as Miko returned. She peeked up from her pillow and accepted the offered cup of tea. “Thank you. For keeping me company.”

Yae laughed in the way she always did, a laugh that betrayed nothing, but Kokomi thought she could read the sincerity between the lines. “Why of course. Anything for a forlorn, needy little pet.” Their teacups clinked. Miko smiled sharply at her through the steam. “Happy Birthday to you.”

omg what r ur favourite books from ur library. like not necessarily anything you've read but just the stuff you think are really interesting and look fun, and also what is ur favouritest section with the most awesome books

i have waited my whole life for this moment.

queen of the cicadas and goddess of filth – v. castro

the saturday night ghost club – craig davidson

pet – akwaeke emezi

the library of the dead – t.l. huchu

frankenstein in baghdad – aḥmad saʻdāwī

literally anything by grady hendrix. i've read the southern book club's guide to slaying vampires and loved it because i felt it was a good mix of fun + scary + impactful. horrorstör and my best friend's exorcism look good too & they're on my reading list!

october – michael rowe. i always recommend this one even though i'm not 100% sure that it's Good Writing or a Good Story, but i thought it was very fun and has one of the craziest opening chapters i've ever read, i mean it.

voices: the final hours of joan of arc – david elliott

ace of spades – Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

kaleidoscope – brian selznick

too bright to see – kyle lukoff (this i found in the juvenile fiction section and read it in 1 day. don't be deceived though it fr changed my life)

they threw us away – daniel kraus. this one is also from the juvenile section and i haven't read it but it sounds fun.

infinite noise – laura shippen

gory details: adventures from the dark side of science – erika engelhaupt

currently i'm reading secrets so deep by ginny myers sain. it's crazy good. her writing style reminds me a lot of my own so maybe that's why i'm so drawn to it but it's reaaaallly good so far.

i haven't read most of these but i've read their synopses while working at the library and they all sound so good 🫶 a majority of them Are supernatural/horror fiction because that's kind of what i always find myself stumbling across during my rounds <3 hope you enjoy ily

okay as for my favoritest section of the library with the awesomest books i'd definitely have to say adult nonfiction in the 100s. paranormal stuff + books on demonology and aliens and stuff :]

howdy!! first of all, how dare that guy. I’ll fight him. but I saw you wanted to talk about Liam, so here I am with questions about your favoritest boy. no pressure to answer them all, just some starting points /gen 🥰

- do you any wips for him that you’re excited about?

- what are your favorite things about him? (so many to choose from, since he’s the sweetest ever, but a few of your absolute faves?)

- what do you think his middle name is, if he has one?

- what do you think his conversations with Deigh are like? and what do you think Deigh calls him? like how Tairn calls Violet “silver one”.

I absolutely adore all of your Liam fics and I’m looking respectfully at the cod content even though I know nothing about it 👀

🤍, liz @callsign-rogueone (I can’t send asks directly from there since it’s a sideblog 🥲)

ahhh hi baby! oooh this is perfect, i could talk about him all day!

-> i have a few very rough drafts scribbled in my notes of wips for liam, vague concepts and the like that i’ve daydreamed about and just HAD to write down somewhere. some of my personal favs that i’m excited to write are…

a sexually charged sparring match…😉

liam with an intinnisic reader (keeping her out of trouble, breaking all the rules to keep her safe)

a possible threesome fic with liam and xaden/ perhaps garrick or bodhi

lots of silly fluffy moments — what liam and his girl get up to on rare days off, what their morning routine is like (with a very sleepy, grumpy reader and a terribly endeared liam), certain extracurricular activities…

a possible a/b/o au, which is always controversial, although i need to plan logistics for that one

the cowboy hat rule😉 wear the hat, ride the cowboy (cowboy liam would be HAWT, although i’m not overly keen on alternate universe fics, i’m trying to learn to love them.)

-> my favourite thing about liam by MILES is how loyal he is to his people. i can just imagine him getting protective over our dear reader and it makes me SWOON just thinking about it. i think he would be my favourite of the fw boys to have when you’re feeling sad or sick, too. he seems like the nurturing type when it’s needed (the muscles are just a lovely bonus)

-> i think his middle name is isaac! i believe it was his father’s name (that might be a fan made fact, don’t hurt me pls) and even the meaning of the name means joy, and he brings joy to everyone </3

-> as much as it hurts (considering how he died) i think he’d be honorable one😖 he truly has one of the strongest moral compasses of any of the characters in the book.

-> i wish we got his conversations with deigh because i’m sure deigh would’ve been like his proud dad. top of his class, always winning. best boy ever fr. i’m sure there would’ve been some lighthearted banter. i just know that deigh knew he picked the right man.

i love that you love my liam content 🥹, and i’m planning on making a LOT more very soon <3 the cod content is still very new for me (and i’m god awful at the game but shhh) i just think military men are very hot and sexy and should be licked a lot

thank you for these questions! i adore talking about liam, i’m pretty sure he’s actually my favourite character to ever exist now tbh
