I shouldn’t speak on anyone else’s behalf, but I’d like to hear about the new angsty not-fake-dating au idea please
Ok 👀
Gonna preface this by saying Clarke's overall character in the first half is... questionable. But listen just, set that aside for a minute and think of Clexa and also endgame 😅
So I was thinking something along the lines of Lexa gets recruited by a friend of a friend of a friend/distant classmate/ad in the college paper? Idk, whatever. But anyway, someone she's not at all close with or really has any ties to, and she's basically hired to pretend to be this girl's girlfriend for a group vacation her and her friends are going on (She's a nice girl, but a lonely gay/bi in a group of party girls/ habitually dating girls who always have Someone™ dangling off their arm, but this girl does not. Always looked over, the eternally single friend, etc. You get the gist.) And Lexa's hot. And kind of intimidating. Has that whole smokey eyed badass, femme fatale aura about her. It's... a reach, but also kind of perfect because it'll make this girl look fantastic to her friends in the street cred department and also possibly give her confidence the little boost that it needed. And considering Lexa grew up the only gay in her town, and didn't grow into her very gangly and awkward body until senior year of high school, she gets what it's like to always be the one passed up. Plus she could use the cash. So she's more than down for this. Everything's great, right? Right.
Except for the fact that one of said girls on the trip is in fact, Clarke. Who does have her own date. Now, I can't quite decide if Clarke would know about the arrangement or not, but regardless, Clarke has always been the main one in the group who is this girl's cheerleader. Very "you're better than how you treat yourself. You deserve everything, and it's not fair that people don't see it. The right person will fall in love with you in an instant, believe me. You're worth it." Very that supportive friend. She's ride or die until the end.
Now, Lexa's technically "on the clock" so to speak the entire trip, which means she is laying on the charm thiccc af. It's not exactly a stretch by any means because she is naturally a doting girlfriend in relationships (when she has one), but ya know, she's giving this girl her money's worth. She wants her feel like a princess for the entire trip. Yes it's a job, but it's also nice just making a girl feel special when she's not used to it.
The only problem is... Clarke is also seeing all of this. All of Lexa's sweetness and all of her thoughtful actions. Her attentiveness and her softness beneath the edgy exterior. The little presents Lexa surpises her friend with, the way she remembers her friend's little quirks. Always remembering her food preferences, her favorite drinks. Lexa's got this girlfriend thing down to a science. She's just so goddamn thoughtful and charming to boot. And also hot. Can't forget hot. Like really, unfairly hot. But mostly it's the way she's so gentle and sweet.
The other issue is, Lexa sees that in Clarke too. She sees that out of everyone, Clarke is pretty much the only one who actually treats this girl with kindness and respect. Never talking down to her or placating her, never just treating her like an afterthought. Clarke is so damn sweet and thoughtful, beautiful and fiery sometimes to a fault. She's funny, and warm, and just... the entire package. She understands why Clarke is never single.
But. It quickly becomes A Problem™. Because it's in the moments that Lexa is trying very hard to just focus on her "job" that she constantly finds herself in Clarke's orbit. In the mornings when she's up early making ~her girl~ her fancy coffee, late at night when she's tinkering around in the kitchen making her a lil snackie snack so they can watch a movie before bed. Those stolen interacting becomes moments of them just talking, Clarke on the counter as they chat while Lexa feels her eyes on everything she does. Them lounging by the pool while the others run into town for supplies. Dinners out with Clarke sat close on one side,,, while the girl sits on the other.
And there's flirting. Way too much flirting whenever they're in private. Effortless flirting that Lexa isn't really aware of until it smacks her in the face that they're both just idiots smiling. But it's all very cloaked in joking and throwaway moments because, technically, they're both supposed to be attached.
And as most things are, everything is fine. Until it's not.
The whole situation comes to a boiling point when they just get lost in one of those moments. A night of too many drinks and way too much flirting, finding themselves entirely too close in their villa's bathroom. It feels dangerously like the period on the end of a sentence that was written the second they'd layed eyes on each other. Before they realize what they're doing, Lexa's hoisted Clarke up onto the bathroom counter, her fingers pumping between Clarke's legs. It's a heated rush of moans and licks to sex-sweetened skin, both grabbing at each other through messy kisses meant to leave bruises. Both way too far gone into the release of all the tension to realize that... Clarke's being kind of loud...
It's a fucking catastrophe after that because yeah, well, Clarke definitely just cheated. In front of everyone. Including her "boyfriend". Though granted she'd only been seeing the guy for like a month so it's... it's not as earth shattering for her as it could be. But the real issue, the real vomit inducing kick in the moral gut is that she's just ruined the entire facade for het friend. Made her a look fool in front of everyone. Basically fucked the entire thing up for this girl who had only wanted to feel like she fit in. Just once. It honestly makes her feel awful. It's not like she just accepts it and feels ok with it, she is thoroughly disgusted with herself.
Obviously Lexa returns the money, letting herself be branded a homewrecker and cheater rather than embarrassing this girl further with exposing the truth that they were never actually together. She can carry that stigma as long as it means she's not doing anything to hurt this girl worse. She's caused enough problems as it is.
In the end everyone goes home. Pissed off or hurt or with a new bit of gossip to tell. Clexa going their own separate ways, without a single other word to each other.
The girl never talks to Clarke again when they get home and despite Clarke's efforts to try and make amends, she doesn't blame her. It was the single worst fuck up she'd ever made in her life. Which is why she takes the time to stop dating altogether and start really working on herself. Because she didn't like the version of herself who would do something like that to anyone, much less her friend. Feelings or not. Tipsy or not.
Lexa also never hears from the friend again, though that is not even remotely a surprise after everything. But she still wishes she could have done something to make things right. Some gesture or, or... something to fix what she'd fucked up so royally. It's a guilt she carries with her for a long, long while.
Eventually though, a few years down the line when it's more just a distant memory that still stings but doesn't burn quite as bad as it used to, the friend reaches out to Clarke in the form of a very opulent and beautiful wedding invitation that says she's... getting married to the guy Clarke cheated on that weekend. Clarke doesn't want to go, at all, but kind of feels obligated because not only is this the first olive branch she's ever gotten from her old friend, but also like,,, tf??? You're marrying that guy?!??! What the hell happenesd??? So she's gotta go. She has to, just to make the final amends for what she did.
Which works out well because the girl is all smiles and that bubbly laughter that comes from real, true happiness. She seems so easy and free when she tells Clarke that she is total over it. That they'd found the love that they'd been searching for in each other while commiserating through the pain of that trip. "Eh. Burnt toast theory and all that," is how she puts it with a lift of her champagne in response to Clarke's very thought-out apology.
So it's good. It's not great, and it doesn't make up for what Clarke did, but at least she now knows that her friend is at peace with what happened.
And then aND THEN Clarke catches a glimpse of Lexa at one of the tables across the room. Looking awkward and unsure and still disrespectfully hot in her formal wedding attire. And her friend, in all of her wedded blissed out glory, is like "Oh right. So. Speaking of blasts from the past. I invited another old friend... You should go say hi."
With the bride's blessing, she does exactly that despite her absolute terror at the prospect of seeing Lexa again. They have drinks and reminisce over wedding cake about that fucking shitshow of a vacation, catching each other up on where they are in their lives now and how they've been. They talk about how stupid they were. How awful and, honestly, immature. But through their embarrassed commiseration and disgust with their past selves, they both carefully (and not so carefully) toe around the subject that while they both do regret the way it happened... neither actually regret that it did. Because the sex had meant something. Because the feelings were entirely real. Those late night talks and time spent together still mean something today. Even through the messiness and the people hurt in the aftermath, the connection had been real, and in the end it had always sort of felt like the other was 'the one who got away'. So, drinks turn into dancing, which turns into Lexa catching a ride home with Clarke in a designated cab. And before either of them know what's happening, it's Clarke that Lexa is making breakfast for in bed 👀

MASTERLIST
Pairing: Yang Jeongin x Reader, slight Hwang Hyunjin x Reader
Genre: Fake dating!AU, fluff, angst, idiots-to-lovers.
Word Count: 8,847
Warnings: Swearing, alcohol consumption, cringe for some parts. (Not proofread yet!)
Summary: An accidental slip out of Jeongin's protectiveness on you in front of your high school's heartthrob results in probably the worst idea you ever came up with.
A/N: I have been working on this one for way too long...
You wouldn't call yourself jealous in any way. Most of the time, you were quite okay with any of your friends being closer to someone other than with you. But Jeongin giving the girl at the cash register his full attention made you fume.
You saw her twirling a strand of her hair while blinking her doe-like eyes at him. You saw the way she was leaning on the counter as she gave him the biggest smile. All that and Jeongin was smitten. No, you weren't jealous. You were annoyed.
He bowed at her politely and went back to sit with you. "I got your favourite."
"Thanks." you said in a neutral tone as you snatched the sandwich from his hand.
He watched you curiously as you bit into it and chewed in a much not ladylike manner. "Close your mouth, jeez..."
You shot him a glare. "Says the guy who eats everything in one go. It's not because your mouth is closed that it's a nice sight." you snorted.
"What is it with you today?"
You shrugged before taking another bite. Visibly, he didn't take this as an answer. He got to the edge of his seat and approached you, observing every single one of your features to spot anything that would give him a hint on your attitude. Your heart skipped a beat at the proximity, but you managed to hold it in. Perking an eyebrow up, he redrew to his previous position.
"Did I do something?"
"Not in particular."
He hummed. "I'm sure something's wrong."
You shrugged again. "Okay, good for you?"
He rolled his eyes. "Y/N, you're being an ass, what is it?"
You gave him a look. "Nothing."
He wanted to ask again, but Hyunjin coming in the Subway stopped him from doing so. Goddamn Hwang Hyunjin with his perfect face and lips that you just wanted to kiss so bad.
"Here it goes again." Jeongin snorted while you had hearts in your eyes as your gaze followed the man's figure. "He barely knows you exist."
Turning your attention back on your friend, you huffed in annoyance. "He knows, but we have not talked much... That's all."
He laughed. "Hwang Hyunjin is a typical jock. He only notices people pretty enough to hang out with him."
You gasped in shock, sarcasm spread on your face. "Are you insinuating that I am ugly?"
"Yeah." he said as a matter-of-factly.
"You're a jerk."
"So are you." he shot back at you. "You still haven't answered why you were being weird."
"Well, Yang Jeongin, since you're judging my interest in Hyunjin, I'm allowing myself to judge yours."
He frowned. "I have no interest in Hwang."
"Not in him, idiot." you rolled your eyes. "The girl who served you at the cash."
You saw his expression change as he got your point. "Do you have a problem? She's cute, I think."
You couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Oh please, she is the definition of a pick me girl. Just look at her right now doing the same act to Hyunjin."
Jeongin looked back to the girl. She was, indeed, having the same behaviour with Hyunjin as she giggled in a fake way at anything the man said. He turned back to you as disgust slowly appeared on his face.
"Maybe I shouldn't have flirted back earlier."
"No shit."
You both continued to watch them as if it was a live show and Hyunjin ended the interaction by winking at the girl before leaving. The latter sighed dreamingly as she kept her eyes on him as he walked out the door.
"I can guarantee you they exchanged numbers." Jeongin stated.
"Hyunjin doesn't just give it out like this!" you acted offended. "Besides, who says he'll call her if he did take her number?"
"Simp." he muttered under his breath but you heard him as clear as day.
"You are? Yes."
He sighed. "I'm just saying there is a reason why your parents are convinced you'll never get in a serious relationship. You're just proving their point by looking at Hyunjin from afar."
You didn't respond this time. Instead, you looked away as a huff left your mouth.
"Don't be like that." Jeongin sighed but your gaze stayed away from him. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah yeah." you shrugged, still not looking at him.
You heard him groan loudly. "Fine, how about I come to this stupid party of yours this weekend?"
Immediately, your eyes widened as you stared right back at him. Your friend Minho had invited you and you thanked whoever who was watching over you for Hyunjin to be going as well.
"You're bluffing." you said, mouth agape. "You told me you had to go back home this weekend."
He shook his head. "I was just trying to find an excuse to not come."
You slapped his arm. "Jerk." you muttered.
"Ouch! I'm telling you I can come now!"
"Yes and thank you so much Jeonginnie~" you chanted.
He grumbled something incoherent, most likely curses or insults, and then told you it would be time to go home. He drove you back to your house and you didn't forget to remind him the time and place of the party as you left his car.
Skipping to your door, you didn't even arrive two feet away from it before it opened widely. Leaning on the doorframe was your cousin Seungmin in complete confusion.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hello to you too." you rolled your eyes before pushing him out of the way so you could come in. "Am I not allowed to come to my own house?"
"I thought you had class in the afternoon."
"Teacher was absent, class was cancelled." you shrugged. "I went to study with Jeongin instead."
"Always out with him, uh?" he wiggled his eyebrows.
"Only because he'd fail all of his courses if he didn't have me around."
"Sure." he chuckled. "Your parents are out so we have the house to ourselves. Want me to order some pizza?"
"Gosh, please! I'm craving it."
In all of your high school journey, never once had you gone to a party. You did go to small gatherings with a couple of friends, but never to one of this extent. The house was massive. You knew Changbin was a rich kid but it was surreal to see the place up close.
"Are you going to stand there the whole night?" Jeongin asked, hands in his jacket's pockets while staring at you with bored eyes.
You'd lie to yourself if you said he was ugly (which you did a lot but in a friendly way) because he was the total opposite. You could say he was a heartthrob but not as much as Hyunjin was.
"Y/N." he called out again.
Finally snapping out of your thoughts, you followed him as he started to walk to the entrance. You could already hear people screaming and the music blasting on full volume. There was a reason why you didn't like parties like these; too loud. Still, it was your first time being invited to one and you were not going to miss on the opportunity. Growing uneasy, you followed Jeongin inside and you were stunned by the number of people that could fit in this big ass of a mansion.
There were a few recognizable faces such as Felix, the social butterfly of the school, and Chan, the hot warm-hearted basketball player. Next to Felix was his best friend, the one you had been waiting for to see. In all of his tall glory with a smile plastered on his face, there stood Hwang Hyunjin.
"You're drooling."
You slapped Jeongin across his chest. "Stop being an ass."
"Stop being a simp."
You would have ended him right there and then but luckily for him, your friend Jisung made you jump in surprise with a warm hug. You checked his face and he already had a flush on his cheeks, a sign that he might have consumed a little bit too much.
"You two are always together, damn. I can't never have Y/N all to myself."
Jeongin sighed at the drunken man. "Is it a way to tell me to go away?"
Jisung shrugged as he still clung onto your body. "Maybe."
"Alright." you grunted as you got away from Jisung's grasp. "I'll go get myself a drink if anybody is looking for me."
You left the boys chatter and easily found the kitchen. Changbin was already giving bottles of beer around so you took one he was offering after giving him a thankful smile.
"What are you doing here?" you heard from behind.
You turned around to meet eyes with your cousin. "Are you always going to question me about my whereabouts?"
"No but since you are here, yes. I don't want to be the one picking you up from the ground after you pass out."
You huffed and walked away. Seungmin never told you that he was going to this party and you thought he had left to a friend's place earlier. Although it annoyed you that he would probably be watching over you, it did reassure you to have an extra familiar face in the immense crowd.
You tried to find your way back to Jeongin but the boy had vanished. You pushed people aside to come through until you reached a sofa. Sitting next to a duo of girls, they started to flirt with the boys passing by. Soon enough, people gathered around and decided to play a game. Never having participated in one, you joined the lot as they concluded the best game should be spin the bottle. Minho had made his way to the group and joined your side so you felt a little reassured you had at least a friend around. What you didn't expect was seeing Felix and Hyunjin sitting right across from you, and Jeongin exchanging with the freckled boy. Sending him a frown since you were confused on why he was with the popular guys, he only shrugged.
"Alright, who wants to start?"
Raising his hand, Minho approached the bottle of vodka that Changbin had lend to the middle of the circle and spun it. It stopped to the girl next to you and with a big smirk, he walked to her and they kissed messily. Jisung then offered himself as the next one and he spun it only for it to lay on Seungmin, who you didn't see had joined in. Jisung jumped excitedly from his spot to join your cousin and laid a peck on his cheek. That was still enough for him to fake-gag.
More people spun and you were thankful to not have been one of the victims of kissing. Hyunjin's turn finally came and he sent flirty glances to some people in the circle. He spun the bottle and you waited patiently for it to stop. And it stopped on...
"I'm not doing this shit." Jeongin yelled as soon as he saw the bottle pointing at him.
"I'm sorry Jeongin but the rules are the rules." Hyunjin laughed as he approached your friend.
Growing red, Jeongin closed his eyes and wait for Hyunjin to kiss amicably his cheek. When it was done, he opened his eyes again and ran to join you, hiding behind your small figure in embarrassment.
"Innie, it's just a game."
"I never want to talk about this ever again after tonight."
You patted his back as you laughed.
"Should I do a second round?" Hyunjin asked everyone and received more cheers than necessary.
With a grin, he spun it again. Not focused on him anymore as you had a wild Jeongin complaining by your side, you didn't notice Hyunjin coming up right to you, extending his hand. When spotting his long fingers ornate with silver rings, your eyes widened as you looked up at him.
"Yes?" you asked.
"It stopped on you."
Your heart fastened as you grabbed his hand for him to help you up. He was much taller up close. He put his hand behind your neck and smiled cockily before leaning in to kiss you. The adrenaline helped you with kissing him back, your lips moving in sync with each other.
Jeongin observed from his seated place. This kiss was longer than he thought to be enough. Without thinking and mostly due to being a bit too drunk, he got up and pulled the man away from you.
"I think that's enough, Hwang."
Hyunjin stared back at him, and then at you. Slowly, a smile formed on his lips as he seemed to catch on onto something.
"I'm sorry, man. Didn't know you two were a thing. You've got a good kisser, though." he chuckled before winking at you.
As he left to join Felix, you were beyond furious with Jeongin. You slapped his arm repeatedly and stormed out of the room, walking to an empty hallway of the huge mansion. He followed you as he called out your name but you simply kept on walking.
"Y/N." he said softly as he grabbed your wrist.
You shook it off and crossed your arms in front of your chest. Looking away from him, you stayed like this for a minute or so until he spoke again.
"I'm so sorry."
"What was that?"
He stammered a little before sighing. "I don't know, I guess I had a bad feeling about this. He's always after girls like they're dogs and I- I think I was scared for you?"
You huffed. "I can look after myself just fine, Yang."
That hurt. "I know you can, I'm truly sorry, I don't know what took over me."
You hated fighting with him, even if it was a normal occurrence – though it was usually only as a joke. You dropped your arms down in defeat before hugging him tightly.
"It's okay. I have high expectations, you're right. He's not worth it."
"Don't say that, I'm only being mean to you jokingly."
"I know."
You chuckled in harmony and Jeongin pulled away before suggesting to join the party again. You quickly made your way to find Minho who you hadn't even greeted although he was the one to invite you. You spotted him laughing with Changbin and Hyunjin as they leaned on the counter. Shit, that was hot – all three of them.
"Minho~" you greeted your friend before giving him a warm hug.
He huffed in annoyance but hugged you back nonetheless. "How much did you drink already? Jeez..."
"Like three drinks." Jeongin laughed as he joined Changbin's side. "She's okay, really. I've seen worse."
"That time at my place?" Minho perked an eyebrow at the younger man.
He sighed. "That time at your place."
You pouted, feeling attacked, and walked up to Hyunjin. "You are such fake friends."
The tall man chuckled before offering you a sip of his drink, which you happily took. Jeongin, however, gave him the side eye. Couldn't he see that you had no alcohol tolerance whatsoever?
"How long have you been together?"
"Oh." Jeongin started. "We aren't tog-"
"Two months." you smiled happily.
Jeongin's brain stopped functioning for a second. Were you that drunk to be saying such lies or were you just stupid?
"Ah yeah? You didn't tell me so." Minho noted before smirking at Jeongin.
"We kept it on the low."
"We did, yeah." Jeongin snorted quietly.
"Interesting..." Hyunjin hummed. "You've got quite a good one."
The young boy coughed in embarrassment and nodded to him as to acknowledge his comment. "I guess so."
"I hope you know the kiss was only for the game." He turned to look at you again and leaned closer to your small frame. "Though I wouldn't mind another one."
Changbin nudged his friend's arm. "Alright, Hwang. I don't mind you flirting but not with someone who's already taken."
"It's okay." you smiled. "Jeongin doesn't mind, neither do I."
"Of course I don't." Jeongin faked a smile.
He really hoped you were only pulling a prank at this point. The way you giggled at everything Hyunjin was telling you didn't help your case. How could you say he was not worth your time only to go all smitten over him the next minute?
Jeongin wasn't jealous, no. He was annoyed. That, or you were making him crazy with your stunts.
"I think we need to talk."
Jeongin shut his locker close and gave you a glare. "You bet we need to talk. Y/N, what the fuck was that?"
"Not here!" you exclaimed in panic as a few students passing by looked your way.
You took his wrist and brought him into the closest empty classroom. He simply followed along. Once you made sure to close and lock the door, you spoke again.
"I'm so sorry about Saturday."
"You better be, yes."
You deadpanned at him. "I thought about something, though."
"Oh no." he gasped.
"I didn't even say anything!" you said in defense.
"I've known you long enough to know that when you say that, it ain't good news."
You rolled your eyes and chose to ignore him.
You did mutter a quick insult and it, unfortunately, did not go unnoticed by your friend. "You're an ass."
"I do have a nice ass."
You grunted in frustration. "Whatever... Anyway, did you notice how Hyunjin was with me at the party?"
"Was I supposed to check that out?"
"No, but wasn't he especially touchy with me?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose."
"He's only been like this with me after I lied that I was dating you. Even this morning, he offered to buy me strawberry milk."
"Is this going where I think it is?"
You gave him a grin while his face expressed nothing but pure fright. "What do you say about being my fake boyfriend for a while?"
He stared at you blankly, blinking a couple of times as he processed your request. Did he hear you right?
"You've gone nuts."
"Think about it for a moment, please. He's acting as if to show me he would be better than you and I lowkey love it."
"Are you aware that it only encourages this type of behaviour if we do this? Plus, I'd be known as the guy who got dumped for my girlfriend to go to Hyunjin. Not good for my image if you want my opinion."
You pouted. "Please, Innie~"
"No."
"I'll buy you lunch for a week."
"Bribing me with food? Yeah, no thanks."
"For a month?"
"Not working."
Running out of options, you really had one thing left to offer in order for him to accept. "Okay. How about I buy you lunch until the end of the school year and I ask Seungmin to give up his place so we can go to the amusement park together."
This seemed to do the trick as he frowned in curiosity. "You would do that?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Take it or leave it, Yang."
With a nod, he walked up to you and presented his hand for you to shake. "You've got a deal."
You grinned mischievously and shook his hand firmly. Taking out a notepad, you showed him the list you had already prepared for the occasion. It was a list of rules, typical.
He frowned as he read through your bullet points. "This is shitty."
"What? Is something missing?"
"It's not that, it's just cringe."
You rolled your eyes as you took your pad back. "It's to make sure that we're on the same page. Look, first point is that we've been together for two months. That's short enough for me to dump you for him to be credible."
"Nice." he huffed.
"Second is the PDA." you went on and ignored him. "No kissing but a few cheek pecks and hugs and holding hands is fine."
"Got it."
"And no one has to know about this. I want this to be as real as possible."
"All of this for a boy." he shook his head in disappointment. "You owe me big time."
Satisfied, you thanked him one last time before grabbing his hand and heading out of the classroom. He stubbled on his feet causing him to almost fall on you but you caught him in time. From the outside, it looked like a friendly hug.
"Starting now." you whispered in his ear.
"What?"
Without adding another word, you broke the hug and dragged him behind you. As much as he was confused, he wasn't that stupid. Soon enough, he realized what you were doing as he saw Felix from afar. And, obviously, Hyunjin was with him.
"Hey, Felix!" you greeted kindly and then held onto Jeongin's arm in a loving way.
"Hey, you two." he smiled. "It was fun this weekend, we should invite you more often to our parties."
"Agreed." Hyunjin affirmed with a smug look on his face. "Lots of fun we've had, Y/N."
You blushed uncontrollably and as you were about to flirt back, Jeongin took his role as your fake lover pretty casually and moved his arm in front of you in a protective manner.
"There are other types of fun, Hwang."
Hyunjin's eyebrow perked up. "Right, my apologies."
You coughed, uneasy, and proceeded to speak to Felix to drift the conversation elsewhere. "It was nice, yeah. We should hang out more."
"We have a little gathering with friends this Thursday if you two want to join. The more, the merrier!" he beamed at you.
"We'll be there."
Jeongin gave you a look as to show his disagreement but you acted as if you didn't see it and waved at the two boys before taking off. Still being dragged by you, Jeongin fumbled in his steps to keep up with your walk towards the exit.
He was starting to regret agreeing with your stupid plan. In all honesty, he hoped it would fail. Because Hyunjin didn't deserve you. You were too good for this world that a local jock would never treat you the way you deserved to be. But part on why he hoped it wouldn't work out was that he secretly wished you were his.
You winced at the pain and glared at Jeongin. He acted as if he didn't just kicked your leg and continued to listen to the teacher. Turned out that fake dating him was much more complicated than you anticipated. He was good at faking, quite impressive actually. The only thing was that he'd make life ten times harder for you. He liked living on the edge and test you. So, once in a while, he'd tease you or say something that could be putting your plan on the verge of being uncovered. And kicking your legs to piss you off was one way to mess with you.
"Jeongin, stop it." you muttered to him after he kicked you again.
He hummed. "Sorry."
There was no hint of apology in his voice and you wanted nothing more but to beat that cute face of his. He knew he was too adorable for you to actually do anything and used it to his best advantage.
Once class ended, he slung his arm around you as you passed by Hyunjin's locker. You were happy to notice the clench of his jaw as he fixated his gaze on your 'boyfriend'.
"Hey, guys." he stopped the two of you. "Are you still coming tonight?"
"Yes, we'll be there!" you confirmed happily. "Who'll be going?"
Hyunjin thought for a second. "Me, Felix, Changbin, Minho... Chan might stop by and I forced Jisung to be there."
"And Seungmin." your cousin added, offended, as he joined the three of you.
You frowned at him. "You're going?"
"They're my friends, remember?"
Hyunjin sighed. "Family problems? I get that... Anyway, I'll send you the address, Y/N."
With a flirty look, he waved you goodbye and took off. Seungmin watched in disgust.
"He can be an ass to be flirting with, not only my cousin, but someone who's already got a boyfriend."
Jeongin embraced you lovingly and gave you a peck on the cheek. "He can do whatever, I know Y/N's mine."
Your heart stopped for a second. "Of course... I'm yours." you coughed.
Jeongin accompanied you home so you could change into a more appropriate outfit. Him already being in a comfortable pair of baggy jeans with an oversized hoodie, your short shirt and skirt would not be appropriate for a cool evening chilling.
"This is too bland." Jeongin commented boringly while you showed him a shirt.
"Everything is too bland for you." you huffed.
He got up from your bed and scanned the content of your closet. "Just take that hoodie."
Your eyes followed the piece of clothing he took and you immediately shook your head. "It's too big! I can't show off myself with that."
He rolled his eyes. "Trust me on this. I'm a guy and I can assure you that a girl in a hoodie too big for her makes her look small and adorable."
You wiggled your eyebrows. "Talking about someone in particular?"
"No."
You didn't insist more as you noticed that it was almost time to leave. You changed quickly and the two of you were off to Felix's place.
The house was heartwarming, which corresponded perfectly to how Felix presented himself as. He led you to a wide living room where most people were already there, Hyunjin included. You clutched onto your 'lover' and waved happily to everyone.
"We are still waiting for our dear Jisung, who is late again, and we'll move to the backyard after, sounds good?" Felix spoke and everyone agreed.
Chan walked back from the kitchen, holding a pack of beers. "Should we get started?"
Since Jeongin drove you there, he refused to take a can but you were more than happy to take it. He warned you to be careful but you played dumb and ignored him. Seungmin gave you a similar warning look from the other side of the couch. Maybe it wasn't so much of a good plan, after all. Especially with your cousin keeping an eye on you.
When Jisung got there, you moved to the backyard and Changbin was kind enough to start the fire with the help of Minho.
"You're the host and you're not even helping?" Hyunjin scoffed at his best friend.
"Fire is dangerous and I stay away from danger." Felix answered with no sign of shame.
As you shivered, Jeongin brought you closer to him to keep you warm. You snuggled into him happily as you watched the fire slowly growing bigger.
"Are you okay, baby?" he asked after you shivered again.
"I'm fine, still a bit cold."
Hyunjin got up instantly and took off his jacket before coming to you. "I have this if it can help."
You blushed and thanked him before taking it. While you laid it out on yourself, Jeongin didn't appreciate what had just happened. Fake or not, he was the one person you'd go for when you felt uncomfortable. Needless to say he's got competition now.
"I'm surprised you invited Y/N." Seungmin said. "Not that I mind her being here, but wasn't it supposed to be a boys night?"
"It was, but it doesn't hurt to keep her around. She's good company." Hyunjin said with a grin.
You blushed again. "Thank you for the invitation."
"Anytime." he winked at you.
Jisung coughed and got up. "Before Hyunjin ends up ruining the night with his flirts, how about we play a game?"
Minho groaned. "What are we, five?"
Chan chuckled. "We are five at heart."
"Talk about yourself."
Jisung yelled to grab their attention, well, more to stop them from arguing for nothing. "Truth or dare?"
"Boring." Felix shouted.
"I have an idea." you jumped in. "I played this with my friends once. One person whispers a question to the person to their left and the answer must be one of the people present. The one who answers must say their answer out-loud and they play rock-paper-scissor after. If the whisperer wins, the person has to reveal what was the question. If the contrary happens, then the question remains a secret."
Hyunjin hummed and took a sip of his beer as you finished explaining, watching you attentively. He didn't know what made you interesting so suddenly, but the simple fact you knew how to keep the night fun was enough for him to think of you as attractive.
"Sounds like tea is about to be spilled, I like it." Jisung grinned. "Alright, everyone understood the concept? Good, who wants to start?"
Felix raised his hand. Minho sitting next to him, he thought for a moment. He smiled wickedly and then whispered something in Minho's ear. The older guy groaned in annoyance.
"Changbin, I guess?"
Felix cackled like a maniac and they played rock-paper-scissors. Minho won proudly, mostly content he didn't have to reveal such an embarrassing question. (You'll never know what it was.)
A couple of turns passed, one revealing that Jisung thought Chan was the most smashable among the group, and it was finally Jeongin's turn. Seungmin whispered something and you could tell by the youngest's face that this was not something in his comfort zone. He gulped nervously and looked at everyone.
"Hyunjin."
This caught your attention, and even more when you saw Jeongin's fist being wrapped in Seungmin's hand as he lost the game. Seungmin snickered evilly and coughed before speaking.
"I asked him who he was jealous of the most."
"Good lie." you mumbled to him, the others not hearing you.
He wasn't lying, though. He was truly getting more and more irritated by Hyunjin's constant looks at you throughout the night.
"Your turn." Jeongin said with a nervous laugh. "You're ready?"
With a nod from your part as answer, he leaned closer to the side of your face. You suddenly became very aware of the closeness between the two of you as you felt his hot breath on your cheek.
"If you didn't have a crush on Hyunjin, who would date here?"
If you thought you were pink before, you were clearly red now. Your breath became unsteady as Jeongin leaned back, staring right back at you. You glanced at his lips for what felt like an hour. Until Chan, who was sat next to you, nudged your arm.
"Jeongin."
You didn't know where the confidence came from but you weren't certain if you were glad to have answered truthfully or not. As Jeongin held his fist up, you suddenly remembered there was a chance he might spill out your crush on Hyunjin, revealing your whole fake thing to everyone. And just to your luck, he won.
He coughed before speaking. "I asked her who is the best kisser."
Hyunjin let out a huff. "She would have said me if she wasn't with you."
While Minho nagged at him for being so carelessly flirtatious with you, you mumbled a 'thanks' to Jeongin. But this was all only the beginning of your mind spiraling into a never-ending loop of questions.
Amusement parks were among your favourite things and you'd always go with Seungmin. It was a tradition you started together. But this year, you promised Jeongin you'd go with him instead. And you couldn't help but feel nervous as you laid out about four outfits in front of you. As Seungmin passed in front of your room, he groaned.
"I gave up my ticket for you to have a mental breakdown in front of a pile of clothes?"
You rolled your eyes. "I'm not having a mental breakdown."
"Well, I've never seen you being so anxious before a date. I supposed you really like him that much, uh?"
You grew embarrassed. "I-I guess I do."
Frustrated, he quickly picked a top and pants before throwing them your way, hurrying you to get ready. You still weren't sure if the combo was good but Jeongin was probably already on his way to pick you up.
And he did ring at your door only fifteen minutes after. You rushed to open it and you were close to being out of breath from how fast you got there. But once your eyes laid on Jeongin, you truly felt like you stopped breathing. He didn't look much different from usual, but you noticed he put more effort into his appearance. Styling his hair back, putting on earrings that moved smoothly with his own moves, rings on his long ass fingers, and an outfit that just proved yet again his sense of fashion: he was simply gorgeous.
He wasn't any better himself as he obviously eyed you up and down. He gulped at the sight as he didn't expect you to dress up for this. He actually thought he had overdoned his look but seeing you, he was underdressed in his opinion.
"You look..." he coughed in his words. "You're stunning."
You blushed. "And you look handsome. Is it a new shirt?"
He checked his loose buttoned shirt and nodded. "I thrifted it this week."
"I like it." you smiled. "Shall we go?"
He held out his hand out as an invite but Seungmin stepping next to you interrupted his action. "Bring her by 9pm and if I learn you two messed around, you're not allowed in this house anymore."
You huffed. "You're in my house."
"And I live here until school is over so I have my say in this." he said sternly before glaring at Jeongin. "9pm."
"Yes, sir." Jeongin answered nervously.
On the ride there, Jeongin let you play your music for once. He usually wouldn't let you do so, saying your taste was bad. He wanted to make the evening about you. Not because he cared, no. He owed it to you, you paid for it all.
You didn't lose a second to get out of his car and run to the entrance of the park, Jeongin having to run after you like you were a child out of control.
"Do you want to start with games or the rollercoasters?" you asked him but gasped when you saw the food stand. "Never mind, I want cotton candy."
He laughed and followed you. "I'll get one, too. Blue or pink?"
"Pink."
You paid for your treats and concluded you could being them with you on a rollercoaster, so you went to a shooting game instead. Paying the man who in charge of the stand, you and Jeongin agreed to get the fox plush if you won. You were baffled when he got it only at his second shot.
"Tell me I'm amazing." he smirked at you.
"You're amazing." you said in amazement before the man gave you the plush. "I'll call him Innie."
"Why?" Jeongin laughed out.
"He looks like you."
Trying ignore the feeling in his tummy, he dragged you to a Ferris wheel, using it as an excuse to finish off your cotton candy. The queue wasn't as long as you would've thought so, before you knew it, you were buckled up next to Jeongin. The seats weren't so cheap nor small, but it still was enough to not make you feel totally secured.
Busy finishing your treat, you didn't look down that much. However, you were quickly left with a paper cone with no candy around it. Arriving at the top, you held Jeongin's wrist out of reflex when your seat balanced forwards a bit too much for your liking. You felt his arm tense so you let go and muttered a small apology.
"Calm down, you're making it worse by moving so much." he said, annoyed.
"I'm trying position myself so our weights are balanced on this." you argued.
He shook his head and laughed. "Look at the guy underneath us. He's alone and he's fine."
You looked at where he pointed but leaned back immediately as soon as you felt the seat move again. With a discouraged groan, Jeongin pulled you closer to him as his arm went around your figure. Unconsciously, you scooted closer and hid your face in his shoulder.
"You're such a baby." he muttered under his breath. "What would you do without me?"
"I'd be falling off and inevitably come to my death."
He chuckled. "You're so dramatic... Cute."
You lifted your head up only to see him already looking at you with bright eyes. You couldn't say anything, his face was simply too mesmerizing. For a moment, you forgot where you were and all signs of anxiety left your body. Slowly, you began to lean towards his face and your breath was becoming heavier.
"Hope you had a good ride!" the teenager in charge of the ferris wheel said as he lazily broke you off the moment by unlocking the security bar if your seat.
Composing your posture, you got off and didn't bother to look at your friend. You only ran to another rollercoaster and he followed.
Jeongin was more than complexioned by what had just happened. The more time passed, the more he realized these kinds of things made him sweat more than it should. This was not what was supposed to happen, you had feelings for Hyunjin. And here he was, starting to fall in love with you.
A couple of rides after, you settled at a table where you would get a good view of the upcoming fireworks. Insisting that you wait for him to go get churros, Jeongin ran off to the stand nearby and scanned the menu. When it was his turn, he ordered two of the sweet snack with a large iced tea that you could share.
"Two straws?" the girl at the counter asked, wiggling her eyebrows at the boy.
Jeongin's face reddened. "Yes, please."
He shyly ran away after paying to get back to you but the warm feeling in his stomach quickly left his body the moment he saw you. Well, not you, Hyunjin. The tall man was smiling widely at you while you looked away in embarrassment. The proximity of your bodies was too much for his liking but he kept his cool.
"I got your food."
You looked up and sighed out of relief. "Iced tea?"
"That's your favourite?" Hyunjin asked, ignoring the younger boy's presence. "Noted."
"She prefers bubble tea, actually." Jeongin retorted before sitting to your other side, sandwiching you between him and Hyunjin.
"So iced tea with tapioca pearls basically." Hyunjin laughed.
You coughed in uneasiness. While this was everything you had dreamed of, getting Hwang Hyunjin's attention, the feeling you felt at this instant was quite the opposite of pleasant. With a small apology, you got up and took Jeongin's hand in yours.
"Aren't you two staying to see the fireworks?" Hyunjin said, eyebrow perked up.
"We have a movie night planned afterwards."
Jeongin gave you a look. "We what? Y/N, you literally begged me to watch the fireworks."
"If you want me to leave you alone for your date, just say so." Hyunjin chuckled. "It was very nice to bump into you, though." he winked at you before walking away.
You exhaled in relief and started to sip your tea from the straw in a very eager way, as if you hadn't drank in days. Jeongin, on the other hand, couldn't help but blink slowly as he observed you. You had just turned away Hyunjin in front of him, for him.
"What was that?" he finally managed to say.
You shrugged. "This is my pay for your services, I can't make you work now."
He smiled to himself. "Fireworks, then?"
You finally looked at him and smiled back. "Fireworks."
A month passed since that night at the amusement park. While you and Hyunjin spent more time together on your breaks, Jeongin was being nothing but the best fake boyfriend. He even took you on a couple dates, saying it would add credibility to your act. And people bought it, even your parents. They told you they were only relieved you finally got with him. Apparently, the two of you were obviously going to end up together.
So it came to no surprise that everyone rooted for your couple. That was exactly what made you question things even more. For starters, you and Hyunjin were growing closer, but purely in a platonic way you'd like to think. Sure, he flirted a lot, but he knew your boundaries and never tried anything more in respect of Jeongin. Second off, you realized you always put extra effort in both your behaviour and your physique every time you met up with Jeongin.
"Ice cream? It's on me." Hyunjin suggested as you walked out of class.
You shrugged your shoulders. "I'll see if I need to meet with Jeongin first, wait a minute."
You headed straight away to his locker, slamming it shut in his face which startled him. He gave you an annoyed look but you only smiled cutely.
"Innie~"
"What?"
"Did you want to hang out after school? 'Cause Hyunjin invited me for ice cream."
He raised an eyebrow. "And you are asking me permission because..?"
"Well, we usually go to your place or mine."
"I won't stop you from hanging out with the guy you are literally trying to get." he deadpanned at you.
Your smile fell as you remembered that the plan was to make Hyunjin interested in you. "You're right, sorry."
He gave you a nod and opened back his locker. You got the message and walked back to Hyunjin who was waiting for you by the exit door. Before walking out, you sent one last glance at Jeongin but he was still buried in his locker, too busy to even notice you were looking back at him.
Hyunjin led you to his car and, being the nice guy that he was, opened the door for you. In silence, you sat at the passenger's seat and waited for him to get in as well. The tide was quiet and the only thing that you could hear was the faint sound of the AC working. It was a couple of minutes later that Hyunjin determined something was wrong with you. You were chatty and energetic all the time, this was not the Y/N he knew.
"Did you fight with Jeongin?"
You shook your head. "We're good."
He hummed. "Did you fail a test or something?"
"No."
He sighed. "What's up with you, then? You're mot acting like yourself."
"I'm perfectly fine."
He groaned. "Come on, Y/N. Your mind is somewhere else."
You shrugged and he took it as a sign to stop insisting. Pulling up at the ice cream shop, you went to find a spot while he ordered for the two of you. It wasn't the first time he went to get ice cream with you, he knew your order. Once he got the two cones, he joined your side and you whispered a 'thanks' before going back to being lost in your mind.
"What's happening?"
You blinked a few times before realizing he was speaking to you. "Nothing, I told you."
He gave you a glare. "No, I know something's off. Please, tell me. You trust me, don't you?"
You hit your lip in hesitation. You couldn't say to him what you were thinking, it would reveal too much of your stupid plan. And it would reveal that you had a massive crush on him. Did you still have it, though..?
"It's Jeongin."
He slapped his thigh in victory. "Knew it. Go on, what happened?"
You hit your upper lip in hesitation. "It's complicated."
"I know I'm dumb, but not that much. I'm sure I'll keep up."
Decidedly, he wasn't going to let go of it. Maybe it wasn't that much of a bad idea to confide in someone about your situation. Maybe a third point of view might help you see clearer things.
"We're not dating."
He stopped eating midway and paused for a moment. "You broke up?"
You shook your head. "We never dated."
His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Care to explain what I've been seeing for the past few months, then?"
"I... We..." you let out a groan out of frustration. "It was my idea. It was stupid, I know, but... Okay, so, I've had the biggest crush on you for so long, now."
Hyunjin choked on his bite making him put the food aside. "You have?"
"Yeah, ask Jeongin if you want confirmation. Anyway, I've never really talked to you before the party at Changbin's house. Then we kissed and when Jeongin interrupted us, the fact you thought we were together made me believe you'd have more interest in me if I was dating someone already."
He chuckled. "You were kind of right to think so."
You rolled your eyes. "Which is why I asked Jeongin to be my fake boyfriend until I could get you."
You certainly didn't expect to see him explode in laughter. Well, maybe you did, but not to this extent. Eyes shut, hands clapping violently, laughs as loud as siren coming out of his mouth... he was almost dying of laughter.
"Jinnie." you whined.
He eventually calmed down. "So you're telling me you did all of this to date me without thinking you might have had feelings for Jeongin to begin with?"
You nodded innocently. "And it's not that you're unlikable. Just, Jeongin and I have been friends for a while and... I don't know."
He let out a laugh again. "Not going to lie, it was pretty believable. However, I've never seen you two kiss so I had my doubts."
"All of this for nothing." you groaned out.
"It's fine, don't think too much about it. I saw it but Felix and Jisung think you are the cutest."
"Do they, now?"
"Yes, and I see how Jeongin looks at you. He likes you for sure."
Your phone went off and you and Hyunjin exchanged knowing looks. He gave you a nod and it was all it took to answer and greet happily the person calling you.
"Hey, are you with Hyunjin right now?" Jeongin asked in a soft voice.
"Yeah but we aren't doing much. What's up?"
He sighed. "I think you should ask him out now."
You froze in place. This was not what you expected him to tell you.
"What do you mean?"
"Ask him out. Tell him I just broke up with you and, I don't know, fake being heartbroken with him."
"Innie, you can't say that."
"We can ignore each other for a while at school to make it more legitimate. Otherwise, go for it. I think he likes you."
"No, but-"
"I'll leave you to it."
You could say anything else, he immediately hung up. Too stunned to say anything, your phone was still pressed against your ear. Hyunjin didn't need to be a genius to know what had just happened and he hurried to sit by your side, engulfing you in a comforting embrace. You slowly hugged him back as a lump in your throat formed. It wasn't even a real breakup and, yet, it felt so real.
Hyunjin was a good friend. He encouraged you to finish your ice cream and offered to go to a park close to the shop to walk and get your mind off things. It did work on a certain level, but not enough to get rid of the heavy feeling. So after a few laughs here and there, he determined it was time for you to go home.
"The sunset is pretty, though." you argued.
"Home. You need to sleep on things."
You hated that he was right. Following him with a hunched back, you went back to his car so he could drive you to your place. He out on some music to distract you and drove away. And it seemingly worked too well because it wasn't until the car stopped that you took notice of your surroundings. Hyunjin had parked just in front of Jeongin's house.
"No." you said firmly before melting into the seat.
"Yes, go."
You shook your head violently. "I don't want to."
Hyunjin huffed. "Well, you kind of have to."
"No."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Rejection."
He deadpanned at you. "He was obviously in pain for letting you go, he wants you."
You shook your head again, like a child. Hyunjin groaned as he stepped out of the vehicle, walking around to open your door. He forcefully got you out and gave you a push on the back towards the entrance.
"Hwang Hyunjin!" you yelped out.
"Good luck." he winked cheekily and lost no time to drive away.
You really wondered why you even liked him in the first place. Looking back, it was only because he looked good. Other than that, Hyunjin was nothing but a pain in the ass by teasing you all the time like this.
You took a deep breath and walked to the front door. With your hand already set to knock, you still didn't move. You weren't ready. And the more you waited, the more you questioned yourself. Was it a good idea? Was Hyunjin right? Did Jeongin really have something for you as well? What if he didn't? Would you still be able to be friends nonetheless? Were the dates only for the deal or were they genuine?
"You're going to stand there all night?"
You jumped at the voice. Drifting your gaze towards the window to your right, you made out Jeongin's figure who had opened it slightly so you could hear him. Closing it back, he walked to the door and let you in. You didn't think it would be this easy. Plus, Jeongin was acting as if nothing had happened.
"Something to drink?" he asked as he was already walking towards the refrigerator.
"Just a glass of water will do." you smiled faintly.
He did as told and took no time in giving you your water before joining you at the dining table. You took a sip to help you speak. How was he so casual with you while you were a mess?
"Your family's not here?"
He shrugged. "They went to my brother's school show."
"I see." you coughed out.
"What about you? I would've thought you'd stay with Hyunjin."
Your face got warmer. "That was the plan but we talked and..."
His eyes grew bigger. "Did he hurt you?"
"What? No, of course not! Just... We talked about you."
He calmed a bit but was still curious on where you were going with this. "About the 'breakup'?"
"Yeah." you affirmed. "Well, partially. We mostly talked about us."
"Ah, so you've confessed?"
It was your turn to be confused. "What? I didn't confess because I don't like him!"
He stared at you blankly for a second. "What do you mean?"
"I do not have feelings for Hwang Hyunjin." you said in a clearer voice.
He shook his head in denial. "This doesn't make sense. Y/N, you've been pining over him for so fucking long. What do you mean by 'you don't like him'? Was this whole arrangement a joke to you?"
"It wasn't! I liked him, yes, but I thought so before we started to go on dates and shit."
He let out a huff. "Yeah, you're totally joking right now."
"Jeongin, I'm not. Yes, I did want to fake date you to be with Hyunjin in the end but I didn't take into consideration that I might have liked somebody else from the start."
His frown only grew. "Felix?"
You sighed in despair. "You, dumbass. I like you, a lot."
It took him a minute to process what you had just said. This was the last thing he thought to hear from you but here you were, confessing that you had feelings for him.
"Shut up." was all he could say.
"I'm serious." you said in a defensive tone. "Do I need to say it again?"
He smirked. "Well, if you insist."
You slapped him across the table and he chuckled at how adorable you were. You could get irritated so easily, he loved it though he knew you hated it when he messed with you.
"I like you too. That day at Felix's, I wanted it to be real so bad, it made me go crazy. You were breathtaking in my arms and looked at peace. I know it sounds weird, but I wanted to kiss you."
You smiled. "What about now?"
He cocked his head to the side. "What?"
"Do you still want to kiss me?"
A grin going from one side of his face to the other appeared and he instantly got up to come to your side of the table. Slowly, you got up yourself and looked at him. You could feel his breath on your face from how close you were.
"I'll let you guess." he said in a whisper.
And just like that, you pressed your lips against his. You knew, from that point on, you were definitely not faking it. How could you ever pretend to not be infatuatedly in love with him?

First shared in The Saiouma Pit discord server, parts said by other members are in quotations, unassigned bullet points are my messages
Hina: "It could go either way but... if it's Shuichi demonic royalty instead of parent, it's his uncle or Shuichi's parents and uncle being there and he's managing to perfectly play shit off to his parents while his uncle is just not buying it?"
his parents being the rulers of hell but his uncle being the one that cares to visit
Dra: "Shuichi tells Kokichi about what's going to happen, Kokichi agrees to help him find someone to marry (they are stupid) but before they can think of anyone time Runs out Shuichi's uncle appears from his silly little red demonic circle, looks at Shuichi, notices Kokichi and just "your human is rather small" And Shuichi loses it because oh fuck he didn't want to get Kokichi involved in this"
Hina: "The fact they really thought an hour was enough time to find a fiancé is just sad"
Fuwa: "we can extend it to 6 hours." And then I said: "no, an hour is perfect"
also Shuichi knew beforehand and just waited helplessly until it was last bell to do anything so he asked Kokichi for ideas
Fuwa: "they do fucking tinder, try to get a demonic looking match. They use a goddamn fake face app, to like, see who's demonic enough, and they point it towards Kokichi on accident at the very end, and it's like "perfect match". "Wow it's truly satan!!""
Hina: "WHY THE FUCK WON'T ANYONE MATCH WITH ME??? I TRIED A THIRST TRAP. I POSTED A PHOTO WITH A DOG. DO YOU NEED A FUCKING FISH??? IS THAT WHAT WE NEED??? SHOULD BE GO FISHING???"
Dra: "Does Kokichi get pros/cons of suddenly being married to demon royalty?" me: "like, what could the cons even possibly be? but yes he does"
after that dinner he stays up at night, pulls out his trusty white board
Dra: ""What if they don't have wifi in hell"", Fuwa: "Shuichi's family" (also listing cons)
Hina: "Pros: Demon Royalty, Would Protect You, Live in Castle, Rich, Cool Uncle, Husband Kinda Cute Ig
Cons: The Signal Sucks, Parents are Meh, A lot of fire, Hot. Everyone Here lowkey wants to kill you"
idk about the killing part, I think Kokichi could gain respect in hell, they'd think he has what Shuichi lacks, he was always deemed too timid and soft for a heir to the throne, now this human he brought on the other hand…
Dra: "Ok but it'd actually be so funny if the other demons started going with Kokichi's lies and introduced him as the most powerful demon ruler that just happens to look like a lil dude (it's totally so he can fool sinners into thinking he's harmless) and Shuichi is just watching this go down like "huh""
I love fake dating AUs so I'll try to add a little more to this.
Neither of them has realized their feelings yet when that fated night happens, but something's been brewing through months of their living together. They're just friends that help each other in situations like needing an emergency fiancé. It's cool.
Until it's serious and they're told to pack, so they can begin preparations for the wedding and coronation in Hell as soon as possible. So things get a little tense, but they can go with the flow. It's just another adventure in the life of a supreme leader. And then the shenanigans begin.
The chambers prepared for them obviously have only one bed. They have to show off their affection to sell it to everyone. Learning new details about each other when they're made to pick out stuff for the wedding together. Some frosting on one's face while trying potential cakes. Waking up face to face after swearing to stay on far off sides of the bed the night before.
Kokichi learning things about Shuichi's childhood, Uncle shows him pictures. Shuichi watching Kokichi as he impresses demons with his act, looking at the faces he makes and being not only impressed too, but falling a little bit in love with the joy it brings Kokichi to have a receptive audience.
The realization of feelings being followed by the assumption it's unrequited and wallowing in it. The mixed feelings when trying on suits, dreading the approaching wedding day while thinking the other doesn't feel the same. Something pushing the tension past the limit and causing the confrontation. I've been thinking of maybe introducing a little magic to Hell's wedding traditions; they would each have to throw an ingredient into a huge jug of a special alcoholic drink that is prepared for weddings some days in advance and those specific ingredients have to be thrown in by the couple because the mixture will turn a pretty color when someone in love does this step.
Those idiots. These two morons. When it turns out alright they jump to the conclusion that the other is in love but with somebody else. [This could also be done with Kokichi hearing Shuichi mumble something about love in his sleep, or overhear him venting to somebody who knows their situation, probably Uncle or a friend, say "I think I'm in love" all tragically and the same misunderstanding happens]
So accusations fly, "If you're in love with someone, then why didn't you go to them with this?"
"I didn't know then. Why did you agree to this if there's someone you-?"
"I didn't know. And I expected this to be over by now. I thought that they wouldn't approve of me, or find out it's a farce and then kick me out."
"You should be with the one you love. I can open a portal for you. I can come clean to everyone, I got you into this mess-"
"No. It's not that simple" Shuichi looks at him questioningly, so he sighs and continues "... I am pretty sure it's unrequited. Doesn't matter anymore. What about you? I promised to help. Whatever that means now."
Whether they resolve it at that point or continue without talking things out [Shuichi claiming that his feelings are unrequited too, so their only option is to stay on track.] is up to you.

College au part 2
Guy

• Is currently being pressured to accept a political marriage, but would rather marry for love (sap)
• Jasper is the only one who understands
Dia
• Majoring in botany
• Attends all of his classes virtually
• Has a mushroom farm in his room
• He sings to them to help them grow. Aquia is sworn to secrecy about it
• Has Lou wrapped around his finger
• Found a snake in the bushes, named it Linos, and it is now his pet. Lou was unsuccessful in convincing him to put Linos back outside
• Is this grounds for expulsion? Yes. Does Lou expel him? Nope. Why? Because Dia is why
Sherry
• Majoring in human resources services
• Wants to create more positive workplaces, especially for women
• The only mentally stable person in this goddamn school
• Student council president (thanks, chirp!)
• Ya gurl beat out both Guy and Toa, who were competing for the position and tied for runners-up
• Probably helps that she had the power of baked goods (and Grayson's supervision) on her side
Aquia
• Majoring in botany
• Works at a flower shop
• Poor boy just wants to make friends and study plants but everyone just wants to use him to get in with Guy
• Lack of familial affection go brrr
• Roc doesn't give a shit about his younger sons
• Guy is always busy and has no interest in Aquia's life
• Rahm is too busy trying to make Aquia Roc's successor to notice that he clearly doesn't want to be in politics and loves his brother too much to take his dreams
• Zev is the only one who keeps in regular contact with him, but he's more interested in telling him all about his problems with class, homework, girls, y'know, typical high school stuff. He also asks a lot about how Guy is doing before taking any interest in Aquia
• Fluent in Floriography (language of the flowers)
• Tends to the garden on the school roof at night
• Rio runs into him up there and notices how well cared for the flowers look, and also that Aquia is really sad. They are now gardening buddies
Jasper
• "Majoring" in hospitality
• Isn't actually here to further a career. Roc sent him with Guy as a spy to make sure no one is plotting to sabotage either Guy or the family as a whole
• Works at the same bar as Lance
• NOT a r**ist, and he does NOT do that shit he did in his consort route
• He just listens in on conversations while making drinks (that have NOT been drugged or spiked in any way) and serving people
• He's that one asshole that corrects people's grammar when they text him
• If you don't text like you're writing a government document he will copy your message and correct it
Violet: is anyone free on saturday. i accidentally bought an extra movie ticket and mc fenn and sherry said there all gonna be busy
Jasper: *Is anyone free on Saturday? I've accidentally bought an extra movie ticket, and MC, Fenn and Sherry said they're all going to be busy.
Jasper: I'll be available on Saturday. What movie are we seeing?
Violet: Die.
• May or may not be fucking Guy and Fenn on the side, who knows
Violet
• Majoring in fashion design
• Doesn't care for the designs you would see at a Met Gala and knows how to create things that are good looking and practical but also unique
• Also makes her own accessories
• MC is her usual model
• Met Fenn in high school
• Apparently the guy she'd been dating was two-timing her with Fenn. She was super mad at him at first, but Fenn offered to help dish out some revenge
• He's her wingman and shoulder to cry on when she gets rejected
• Regular at Lance and Jasper's bar
• She dated Jasper for a while until realized he was using a fake identity to spy on her and her friends, and she's hated his guts ever since
• The only reason she still talks to him is because they're in the same friend group as the other valets
• If Jasper corrects her grammar in the group chat one more time, she's stealing his glasses and replacing his normal pens with invisible ink pens. Then we’ll see how good his grammar is
Tino
• Majoring in hospitality
• Works part-time at his family's hotel
• He and Lynt have been best friends since childhood because their fathers are also friends and business partners
• He used to "help" Lynt with all his school work (did most of it for him). He can't really do that anymore since they’re in different majors
• Gets Lynt out of bed every morning. And makes dinner every night. And cleans the dorm. And does the dishes...
• Okay, Lynt does eventually start picking up the slack when he realizes the ungodly amount of work Tino does
• This boy has not had a full night's sleep since the 3RD GRADE
• Like bro do you need to cram every single night?
• Half the time he passes out at his desk studying. Sometimes he'll fall asleep in a common room or something, and someone has to take him back to his room
• It is because of this that Lynt has taken special interest in researching insomnia
• Has to be dragged out by the valets to take a break from doing literally everything all the time
Tino: "B-But I have to study for my skills test-"
Knight: "You mean your skills test that's 3 months away and you've been cramming for since you started the course? Dude, you need a life and you're coming to the arcade with us."
• Definitely got shoved into his locker in high school
• That's what he gets for trying to mind his own business and not bother anyone in a fucking high school
Lou
• Headmaster of the academy
• Has a Ph.D in education
• Is fully aware that he has several politicians' children in his school and that he's being spied on
• Guess what? He's spying on them, too
• He's part of a political party called Iritium and is gathering information on his competition through their children
• Guy, Toa, and Lance's rooms are bugged with microphones. He knows Christoph is living with Lance, but to avoid raising suspicion, he doesn't do anything about it yet
• He's still debating whether or not to bug Aquia's room because Dia is his roommate and he'd rather not invade his privacy
• Prank wars are common at the academy, but he has reigned as prank king since his own school years and he refuses to be dethroned
• Has two doves in his office, Phinney and Nix
• There have been many occasions where someone would pass by his office and see him having a full conversation with them
• He once argued with Phinney while MC sat right across from him. He lost

Hi, shikatema lovers here! ☺️
So I've been in my feeling lately and want to reminisce the feeling of all the good shikatema stories. Do you have any recommendation of shikatema's ff that is a lil bit angsty? Or any great shikatema stories that I really need to read for my mental health?
Thank you and I love your stories too!
Hi there!!!!!!!
This is all based on my history from AO3 and over 10 years of having a FF dot net account so some of these may not be to your taste, and some of them I read a long time ago, but what I can promise is they’re memorable. Blanket recommendations are very up-to-date and can definitely vouch for!
Some of this may be incomplete so please keep an eye out before you read if you’re only looking to read completed work!
Yeongi’s faves:
Truth or Dare (Astroboy) by ChlorineObsession
coffee shop soundtrack by viiisenya - “Goddamn it, Chouji, I thought the second-coming of Hagaromo walked in,” Shikamaru groaned, exasperated. (HILARIOUS)
The Levels On Which We Lie by pearlsong
Between Then and Now by Snooparty - such a fun concept!
The Theory of Effort & Will by SimpArmy
The Torn by ShatteredAwe (no words. But prepare thyself, I cried again just thinking about it.)
and I'll be good (if you can tell me how) - by lollipopmania - fake dating? Spies???? YES. You can’t miss this.
Rain in Konoha by OstaraNight
Bodyguard by ArmchairAnthropologist
Hotel Rooms by ArmchairAnthropologist
Intertwining Fate by glockcourage - Such an interesting AU that I need to re-read, very memorable
Secrets and Shadows by SillySnowden
There's a Head in the Forest by greenho4
Valerie Sabrina Verzoe - always interesting concepts and dynamics - AUs so different I didn’t realize all these fics were by the same person until I started putting this together. I haven’t read their other stuff though so be warned!
Limelight
Chains
A Dance of Wind and Fire
AUTHOR BLANKET RECOMMENDATION:
Here is a few of my favorite authors that have more than 3 shikatema works I’ve read and I’m obsessed with. I will link their profile as well as what I consider my favorite of their work.
Notquitejiraiya - @notquitejiraiya
My faves:
Love Means Nothing - “It’s your problem if you’re in the firing line. You’re on a tennis court; there are gonna be tennis balls.” - This line solidified the idea that I’d made the right choice of Meet Ugly for my fic, Setting Sun
CHESS - “Chess?” she muttered. “You come to a psychiatrists office and you want to play chess?” - made me chuckle
9/10 - Only one chapter but my god, what a chapter, and I’m not spoiling a single line of it!
Majsasaurus - @unioncolours
My faves:
Trial of the Heart - I wasn’t strong enough to finish this one yet, I still have it open on a tab.
no one cries for unknown soldiers - a masterpiece and one of my favorite fics ever
SpookyMoth - @thespookymoth
My faves:
Treasures - Just such a creative AU! I love it
Torn - PREPARE THYSELF I SAY
I Want You To Want Me - BAND AU!! HECK YEA! You can’t miss this. It’s part of a series
SpicedGold
P much anything by them! But my current favorite is When All Is Said And Done
Cinder_Rose - @cinder-rose22 - a person with very evil writer plans and the will to carry them out - very scary
My faves:
Of Sand and Shadow - “Those disgustingly arrogant eyes,(...) He had never hated anything more than those eyes.” - YOU CAN’T MISS THIS
The Ruins of Us - This one is the entire reason Asuma has a bookshop in Setting Sun. Originally he was going to have an antiques shop or a stationery shop.
Clumsydragon28 - @clumsydragon28
My fave:
The Meeting Place - I had never read poetry in the context of fanfiction before but I really think this was the perfect intro!
Sunaprincess7 - @sunaprincess7 - I’ve loved their stuff for more than a decade
My faves:
Anthem for a Doomed Youth - no words.
She dances for me - one of my all time favorites! I re-read it regularly. Inspired by Memoirs of a Geisha (which is a great story, but has some controversy, which I recommend reading up on. I suggest reading “Geisha of Gion” by Mineko Iwasaki)
The Woman - "To Shikamaru Nara she is always 'The' Woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex."
I’d love some recommendations myself so if you feel I’m missing some let me know!! And thank you for your kind words about my stories!

Airport/Travel AU + Fake Dating x firstprince! = ????
LGA is a goddamn nightmare - especially during the holiday season. Waiting for his delayed plane to arrive, Alex does his best not to scratch at the walls like an ill-tempered cat. He takes pictures of the thrillers at the The Strand (yes, there's a branch), trying to guess what the melodramatic plots are based on their similar cover designs. He makes a game out of the weirdly elaborate water fountain at Terminal B. He tortures strangers with personal small talk as he waits in line for an overpriced and mediocre burger. He makes no attempt to finish his remaining homework for Constitutional Law 503.
Eventually, because his flight to Texas is still delayed, Alex drags his body to the Delta lounge...except he remembers that he's not a member. Staring blankly at the person with the tablet, he points at a blond stranger and says he's with him.
The blond stranger (who has his nose in a book and had watched Alex's theatrics at The Strand) can't help but feel some sort of Christmas magic.
"We're roommates," the strangers says unconvincingly.
"We're buddies," Alex says, already bounding over. He draps an arm around the stranger's shoulders. "Besties!"
send me two prompts and a ship for a mash-up!

20 questions for fic writers!
tagged by @chubsthehamster, thank you friend! I am feeling alive and have some time (as in I am procrastinating) so why not!
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
91 on my main, 32 on my short works acct!
2. What’s your total ao3 word count?
748,078
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Mainly anime/manga fandoms, but I hop around based on my current interests. My top fandoms by work count are tower of god, hxh, and sk8, but I've mostly been stuck in bsd hell since last year so until that gets under control that's where I'll be!
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
I actually stopped checking stats (like got a skin so I can't see it unless I go to my stats page) so yeah! let's go with my top 5 fav fics right now instead!
backsliding: bllk, nagireo, 4k, rated t. exes fake dating in front of their friends to avoid having to talk about why they broke up, AGAIN. it's so fun!
Collateral Damage: hxh, killugon, 9k, rated t. aka when Bisky said to Killua “you can’t stay with Gon”, but for real. aka my heart broke writing this goddamn it.
Inevitably; daiya, miyumei, 30k, rated e. my love letter and ship manifesto for miyumei through canon. you know when writers say they wrote in a trance fugue state fueled by love and lack of sleep? this was me. loved every moment!
you're my mortal flaw (and I'm your fatal sin): yuumori, sherliam, 17k, rated m. the hunger games sherliam au of my dreams. this was an absolute joy to write all my fav parts of the hunger games au without having to learn how to write action. vibes and feelings only!!!
you are the magic in me: tog, khunbam, 60k, rated m. the hogwarts au that got me through the pandemic and fully back into fandom after a long hiatus. this will always have such a soft spot in my heart. it gave me so much joy to write and led me to meet so many amazing fandom friends, for which I will always be grateful <3
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, I try my hardest to reply to every one. I'm a lot slower now than I used to be, but I do treasure them!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
it's ironic that people knew me for fluff and now I don't know how to write fluff and have to pick between MULTIPLE angsty fics. Probably Collateral Damage right now, since it made ME feel bad writing it ;-;
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think you are the magic in me or skyfall were both pretty long fics with a well-deserved happy ending that I knew I wanted the characters to have!
8. Do you get hate on fic?
I've gotten a bit here and there, mostly on my e-rated fics when I venture into more 'problematic' categories. It sucks, but I'm less affected by it now than I used to be.
9. Do you write smut?
Yeah, once that door was opened there was no closing it back up haha. Honestly, it's pretty fun when I'm in the mood to write it, especially shorter scenes where I can just turn my brain off a little.
10. Do you write crossovers?
I've written a short crossover called What a Steal on my alt account where Gojo and Reigen meet and Gojo tries to recruit Mob. I don't think I have enough brainpower to map out a true crossover but this short one was fun :D
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so, and I hope it stays that way!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I have a few! Not all of them were completed, but I always find it touching that people took the time to start! Same goes for podfics and art, just so touching <3
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I've done a collab once where the general plot was mapped out per chapter and we had 6 authors and 6 artists where each of us got to craft a chapter! It was called Infinite Road where Reki & Langa travel across Canada together and it was ultra sweet and fun. Fandom is so amazing and I was honoured to be invited into this labour of love.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
ouch. ouch ouch ouch. This is too hard. BUT if I had to pick one ship that encapsulates everything I want in a ship though, it would have to be Mark/Eduardo from The Social Network. I have yet to find another ship that has so much potential on all fronts and go through the full spectrum of human emotion depending on which era you put them in. Also that fandom still has the best fic I've ever read, hands down, even if a lot of it has been wiped from the internet, it lives in my head rent free - truly foundational, lifechanging shit.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?
the guilt. the guilllt. I have a ton of khunbam WIPs lying in a graveyard that I don't even want to open up again because I'd feel bad. I also really wanted to finish the miyumei royalty AU of my dreams, and I even outlined it, but it got outrageous and the fandom is pretty tiny so unfortunately I lost motivation :(
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'd say exploring character! It's the main reason I read/write fic and am in fandom in general. Make me fall in love with a character and you've got me for life.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Having a coherent plot, action scenes, finding balance between too much or no dialogue, transitions... def more where that's from and that's okay! I know what I'm not good at, and if I had the time I'd think more on how to improve. But now I just think hey, it's a precious hobby of mine and instead of working on my weaknesses, I'll just ignore them and write the way I like to write :D
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't think I'm confident in doing much more than a word or two in Japanese lol personally. I think it can be done artfully and I love it when it's pulled off well!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Card Captor Sakura I think! At least published and not like, just in my head. It's on FFN somewhere, I pretend it doesn't exist, as with the rest of my FFN stuff.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
It'll probably be you are the magic in me for a long time, but these days I still think of when and how I'll finish silence strikes like a hurricane. Can't believe I broke my rule about posting an unfinished multichapter WIP. I have an ending but no clue how to get there. oopsies.
Tagging: @lorilanda, @jusalilweird, @aikotters <3

Standilly things to consider: part 2
That’s right, there’s more (by OMYB anon)
- Idc how much billy would hate to admit it, he would totally agree with a lot of Randy’s movie opinions, they are all a bunch of goddamn cinephiles - You know all three are quoting shit all day, and they’re glad they all understand what each other are referencing
- Billy’s ego at having two bfs lord he’d be so smug I think and Stu’s on cloud 9 because he’s dating both his childhood friends
- Let’s be real Randy’s hot af (esp in scream 2) I know it, they know it. Like his knowledge on this stuff is attractive and so is he idc my guy is SMART and witty
- Randy sensing Billy’s moods cuz my guy randy can read billy and stu like a book
- billy and stu need a guy like randy to put them in their place just a little - take that one how you like
- And let’s be real randy would slay as a ghostface. ghostface trio boys, no one is safe. Maybe Randy wants to slice and dice is all I’m sayin
- Randy 100% has potential to match their intensity and honestly? Would be fucking fantastic at planning murder
- Randy kinda got a little bite there in the fountain scene. Let my boy be a bit bitey. Like he was chewing but what else does he chew on? Also he lowkey got the autism blink in that scene. The voices he puts on in both movies? Autism
-I was literally talking to a pal recently how Billy and Randy would have good movie chats but also Billy would be bitchy and obstinate and make fake arguments just to disagree. If we're in an AU where Billy is chill enough for any of this tho thats probably flirting. But oh yeah, the movie quotes would be a second language for the three of them.
-Lmao yeah, a poly/ambi Billy would be like 'these are my bitches' 😈 and Stu, who I already hc as ambiamorous would just be telling everyone that he gets to have threesomes on the reg while also having the most tender gay thought about his bfs.
-I have never and will NEVER say that Randy doesn't have that rizz
-I do think Randy would sense the mood happening but I also think he would be less tolerant of the tantrums than Stu (I don't mean meltdowns, thats different, I just mean Billy flipping out and being a bitch, Randy would be chill with a meltdown)
-LOL. Tbh Randy and Billy would be bickering like an old straight couple and Stu would be watching them with heart eyes. Billy's getting tied up in bed tho lmao
-May I offer the hc that Randy isn't directly a ghostface? He's like their Wade (yes that was a Kim Possible reference I'm sorry) like coordinating behind the scenes and getting info and helping to plan. I think he could also be filming- not that I don't think he could ghost, he's got a litttle sick fuck in him, I just think this would be interesting
-Lmao Randy do got that bite and also yeah big time on the autism with him as well- the way he loses control of the volume of his voice in the video store when he's like "Theres a formula to this!" Very relatable.

Fic trope meme
I saw this list and knew exactly who would benefit from sharing this.
Slowburn or Love at First Sight (god, especially if they don't even have a hint of attraction for a long time)
Fake Dating or Secretly Dating (mmmh yes thanks)
Enemies to Lovers or Best Friends to Lovers (the best of all tropes? perhaps yes)
“Oh no, there’s Only One Bed” or Long Distance Correspondence (i'm actually not really into either of these)
Hurt/Comfort or Amnesia (i do like amnesia tho, the idea that they always fall for each other, regardless of circumstances)
Fantasy AU or Modern AU (god save me from modern AUs)
Mutual Pining or Domestic Bliss
Smut or Fluff (👀)
Canon-Compliant/Missing Scenes or Fix-It (well, depending on how awful the canon is, but i generally like stuff in the canon-verse)
Alternate Universe or Future Fic
One Shot or Multi-chapter (ironically, i don't like them too long)
Kid Fic or Road trip Fic (i do not like either of these, but kidfic would be the one if i HAD to)
Reincarnation or Character Death (i don't mind character death if they get better)
Arranged Marriage or Accidental Marriage (oh? forced to be together and work together even at odds??? rival countries/families????)
High School Romance or Middle-Aged Romance (there's a place for Highschool AUs, but goddamn the potential in older folks)
Time Travel or Isolated Together (listen -)
Neighbours or Roommates (roommates is too easy - le them fight over lawn care! pets! singing loudly!)
Sci Fi AU or Magic AU (magic AUs are a dime-a-dozen, but scifi would be incredible)
Body swap or Gender change (ok magical, yes, but also cross-dressing??)

Tag game!
Tagged by @quilleth
Not tagging forward but mutuals are all invited to do this and say I tagged them because I love knowing useless facts about people. :D
slow burn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt-comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high school romance or middle aged romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbours or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or gender bend // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane
and some conditional/qualification nonsense under the cut because like. Me? make a DECISION? be CONCISE? No.
slow burn or love at first sight: I actually love both of these but the second one is SO FREQUENTLY ‘welcome to Allo Nonsense O’Clock’ and I’m sorry but my aroace ass is just not here for that. I do, however, love ‘oh my god what are these feelings do I have food poisoning do I hate them WHAT IS THIS.’ Instant Feels accompanied by confusion and mortification and rage? Oh yes, love that, good shit.
fake dating or secret dating: I do not actually have super-strong feelings for either of these but the first is more likely to involve idiots in mutual pining and I LIVE for that shit.
enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers: Both of these have excellent pining potential but the first one includes more ‘and I’m ANGRY ABOUT IT’ and I do, as mentioned in the first item, LOVE that shit. Yes, please be furious about these horrible feelings while also being powerless against them. [hellmo.gif]
oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence: This was literally just because I’ve read more tasty fic with epistolary segments. The first one is good! The second one is just slightly more in line with my very niche preferences.
hurt-comfort or amnesia: I fucking LOVE hurt-comfort so almost anything else put into this bracket would be losing to it but also I just don’t really vibe with amnesia most of the time. Like, I’ll read it, it’s not a Hard No, but it’s not a plot point in any of my top ten or indeed in like... the top fifty.
fantasy au or modern au: FANTASY AU MY BELOVED but also why are modern AUs so much a thing, they’re everywhere, I filter them out and it wipes out like 1/3 of the fic for a fandom. I live in this reality because I don’t have a CHOICE why would I want to stay when fiction can instead take me to places with dragons or spaceships or magic or literally anything other than More Goddamn Capitalism????
mutual pining or domestic bliss: Mutual pining is the one thing that could have beat out hurt-comfort. This wins against literally everything. Also established relationship is another thing I usually filter out because it’s about the Yearning.
smut or fluff: Yeah I said what I said. I’m here for yearning and sometimes also for porn. Fluff does not usually contain acceptable levels of Yearning. Smut, on the other hand, is surprisingly compatible with it as long as the principles are idiots who can’t communicate.
canon-compliant or fix-it: fix it, always, I am a weak little marshmallow and canon likes to kill my faves.
reincarnation or character death: Neither of these is My Jam but if they have to die at least they don’t have to STAY DEAD okay?
one-shot or multi-chapter: porque no los dos? But also if we’re talking about writing it’s 100% one-shot because I’m an ADHD disaster gremlin.
kid fic or road trip fic: Honesty time my first impulse was ‘eh, neither?’ And then I remembered that I love road trip fic actually it’s just that my favorite settings do not have CARS. Travel is great! Travel stories are great! Reality is boring and I would prefer not to be here!
arranged marriage or accidental marriage: Okay TECHNICALLY I think arranged wins this but I don’t really go in for the traditional ‘they’ve never met before and other people are forcing the issue’ thing that the term usually signifies. At the same time, I can enjoy an accidental marriage thing if it’s not a farce but that’s ALSO usually not what people mean. So I’m not picking one because if we’re going by The Usual Meanings I tend to actively avoid both. If you’re wondering what the fuck I’m talking about I was trying to decide if I’m too ashamed to explain myself but then I realized you had to click under a cut and then keep reading after I was like ‘porn > fluff’ so you know what you’re in for and the answer is ‘I enjoy a good warprize fic because I am a trash panda who deserves to live in the dumpster.’ I don’t like strangers making them get married. I like one of them making them get married and probably the marriage goes unconsumated for ages and they fall in love and neither realizes the other has feelings and-- yeah.
high school romance or middle aged romance: What do you want from me here, you can fit SO much more yearning into several decades than you can into several years. See also: my conviction that Persuasion is the best Austen novel.
time travel or isolated together: Both of these can be Good Shit, but time travel wins it by a smidge because Isolated Together can feel like what is actually happening is they are breaking under psychological torture and like. I would prefer they have actual feelings. I say this as someone who loves a good fictional codependent relationship; they still need to talk to other people sometimes.
neighbours or roommates: I was all ‘I don’t care whatever’ and then I remembered that Carry On exists and went ‘oh right, I do in fact care; roommates.’
sci-fi au or magic au: magicmagicmagicMAGIC--
body swap or gender bend: I love the ‘I’m desperately trying to be respectful and it’s weird to check out the body I’m in but ALSO--’ Like, it can get stupid if they’re trying to hide it for whatever reason (I swear I have a sense of humor it’s just that I also get CRIPPLING SECOND-HAND EMBARRASSMENT from like, everything in the universe), but it can be pretty great when handled well.
angst or crack: My entire fic preference can be summed up by that ‘I want them to fall SO far and then land on something soft’ thing someone said which I cannot find because google’s algorithm no longer actually tries to find you what you ask for and instead tries to anticipate your wants which is hard to do with me because I don’t know what’s going on in my head 90% of the time. Anyway. Angst. I can very occasionally be in the mood for crack but usually that’s a No.
apocalyptic or mundane: See: my answer to fantasy or modern. I do not like reality and I only live here because the emigration options fucking SUCK.

charles pov of fake dating 👀
hiiii anon! thanks so much for asking 🥰 and uhhhh, yes, fake dating. fake dating! the WIP i have definitely not been ignoring for the past few weeks or so 😅 don't shoot me jaylinbrionytia, i swear i will finish it. someday.
but in the meantime, yes, let's have a look at charles' point of view! charles is always such a fascinating characterisation and perspective for me - he's this intriguing mix of polite, likable, goofy, funny, silly, playful, extremely competitive, driven, determined, resilient, self-deprecating, angsty/traumatised, and deeply romantic. it's always a fun challenge to try and condense all that into his "voice" in writing, especially in a fic like fake dating, which is definitely the fluffiest/silliest/most self-indulgent thing i've written.
anyway, yes, here's a sneak peek at what i've got for you:
perhaps not the best example of charles being playful or goofy, LMAO, but there'll be plenty of that, too, i promise! it's fake dating au, after all 😘
yes, so that's a little sneak peek for what's on the menu/what's going on in charles' head while pierre is busy having all his goddamn "weird feelings in his chest" xD. hope you like it! 😍
#asks & answers#wip: love's a game#wip: charles pov of fake dating#wip title thing#don't shoot me but this might be the only bit of fake dating content you'll get for a while 🙈#i promise i won't abandon the fic; never ever! but inspiration is leading me down other roads at the minute; i'm afraid#magpie brain 😔👌

send me this emoji and a character ask game: 👑 + matthias helvar + fluff, please? :) <3
hello anon! i'm assuming you meant this emoji: 🚀 but if i'm wrong and you're pulling from a different ask game, just let me know, lololol.
(i also respect how no matter the ask game, matthias helvar shows up in my inbox. i just think it's neat that we all love him so much <3 )
🚀 send me this emoji and a character, and i will tell you what fanfic trope/AU they best fit into
MATTHIAS HELVAR in a MODERN, FAKE DATING! AU.
you and matthias are friends who met in college, through your mutual friend inej ghafa. he's always been the serious, polite, yet-easily-flustered type, and the two of you get along incredibly well. your conversations over the themes in literature and film are legendary (though your other friend, nina, complains that the two of you ruin every movie night as you try to debate the merits of directorial choices right in the middle of the film - either watch the film by yourselves or at least aggressively text your thoughts to the other, goddamn), your mutual obsession with Big Dogs is endearing, and your friendship is incredibly dear to the both of you. you'd never do anything to jeopardize what the two of you have...
and yet, when it's time for your sibling or cousins wedding, and you just know your family is going to get on your case about your lack of a romantic partner (how old are you, again? and didn't you just graduate last year?), there's really only one person you can think of inviting to go with you, under the pretense that you're dating. bad decision? you sure do hope not, you already told your parents the lie and everything.
and this is matthias we're talking about! he's not going to make any of this weird, right? i mean, he's going to be Very Against The Idea when you first propose it (because he's a man or morals or whatever *dramatic eye roll*), but he's malleable! He'd do anything for you - jesper laments about it all the time ("helvar doesn't do jack shit for me until (y/n) asks him to :(") - and it's not like you're going to fall in love with your best friend over a two week trip to hawai'i (and who even gets married in hawai'i anymore? how cliche can this almost-married couple be?), right? you can push that nagging feeling that you'd really like to date matthias for real to the back of your mind for just a little longer, right? i mean, choosing matthias was simply a strategic move. you're already incredibly close (he even knows about your poor ability to hold alcohol - and he doesn't mind the fact that you're a clingy drunk!!!); he has the cleanest track record of all of your friends (the last thing you want is to bring kaz brekker home to your parents, could you imagine the nuclear fallout); he's not doing anything important anyway (so then why does wylan keep looking at you like you've ruined his weekend plans?); and he's already featured on your instagram enough to make his boyfriend status a legitimate, though hidden, fact (it's not your fault that your dogs just love matthias more than you and that matthias looks insanely cute when playing with the puppies). yes, you're making a strategic choice. there's nothing else happening here... no, you aren't wishing there was something more happening here...
just two weeks... you can make it through two weeks...
#ask game#perhaps a surprising choice lololol but i actually think that matthias would fit into soo many ~contemporary romance~ novels#that involve this kind of scenario#it's his lack of emotional intelligence and absolute whipped behavior asdfghjhgfdsdfghjhgf#lololol no but i really just want a modern! au for the crows where matthias is a Mess™ in the group chat#and Kuwei is THIS close to just spilling the beans#(and where everyone questions why they allowed kuwei into the group chat in the first place - this chaos demon is too much to handle)#matthias helvar#six of crows

Incorrect quote time :3
Notes: Lucky is a Lust Demon trying to seduce and murder 049 and 035. 035 is Bisexual in my AU.
035: Who hurt you?
Kiki: *snorting* What, do you want a list?
035: ...Yes, actually.
Catgurl: Didn't you die?!
049: That was weeks ago, dude. Things change
Kiki: Standing next to sunflowers always makes me feel weak like ‘look at this fucking flower. This flower is taller than I am. This flower is winning and I’m losing.’
Andy: Wow, you are not ready to hear about trees.
Catgurl: I made tea.
049: I don't want tea.
Catgurl: I didn't make you tea. This is my tea.
049: Then why did you tell me?
Catgurl: It's a conversation starter.
049: It's a horrible conversation starter.
Catgurl: Oh, is it? We're conversing. Checkmate.
Andy: 049 is late again.
Kiki: How did this happen? I called them at 8 o’clock this morning and pretended it was 11.
035: I printed up a fake schedule for them saying we were starting at 9 instead of noon.
Catgurl: I set their clock to say PM when it’s really AM.
Andy: Oh boy. We may have overdone it.
*049 bursts through the door*
049: WHAT TIME IS IT?
Kiki: Dearly Beloved, we are here today to remember 035, taken from us in the prime of life; when they were crushed by a runaway semi, driven by the Incredible Hulk.
035: Aww, you knew my favorite cause of death.
049: I’ve never asked someone out. How do you even do it?
Andy: Oh, what I do is, I look them up and down and I say: “Hey… how you doin’?”
Kiki, scoffing: Oh, please.
Andy, to Kiki: Hey, how you doin’?
Kiki:
Kiki: *giggles and blushes*
Kiki: Breathe, just breathe.
Andy: I’ve done nothing with my life! I’m a failure!
049:: Awww, that never bothered you before.
049: Oh god, they texted you ‘hi.’’ punctuation only means one thing, Andy. They're mad at you.
Andy: No, it's Catgurl. They're just being gramatically correct!
*meanwhile*
Catgurl: And then I used a period so they'd know that I'm mad at them.
035: A period doesn't say 'I'm mad', it says 'you're dead to me'.
Catgurl: I stand by my choice.
Kiki: *eating a cinnamon roll*
049: Cannibalism.
Kiki: *confused chewing noises*
035: I think I'm falling for you.
Kiki: Then get up.
Kiki: You ever see something that changes your life and you're just like "huh.."
035: I saw you.
Kiki: Honestly that's so cute and sweet but it kinda makes this awkward because I was gonna show you a picture of 049 in a turkey costume.
Catgurl: I can never give Kiki shit because I’m jealous of them. They look at their life and say, “Sweet! This is perfect!”
Catgurl: I look at my life and say, “Welp. Time to get drunk.”
Kiki, having recently lost their glasses: KILL THE BUG!!!
049: ....That’s 682—
035: How would you like your coffee?
Kiki: As dark as my soul.
035: Got it, one cup of milk coming right up!
035: Hey, Andy? Can I get some dating advice?
Andy: Just because I'm with Kiki doesn't mean I know how I did it.
035: I'm going to fight the next person who insults Kiki.
Kiki: I hate myself.
035: Alright, square up.
035: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...
Kiki: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.
Andy: Goddamn it, the printer broke while printing out 035's birthday invitations.
Catgurl: Well, what are they supposed to say?
Andy: "035's birthday".
Catgurl: So, what do they say instead?
Andy: "035’s bi".
Catgurl:
Catgurl: Works out either way.
035: I owe you one.
Lucky: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.
035: Don’t you have any dignity, Lucky?
Lucky: Uh, no.
Andy: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire??
035: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔
Catgurl: Why were you microwaving a lemon???
035: I read boiling lemons helps cover up up bad smells (I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges) but I didn't own any pots.
Lucky: Did you burn an orange too? How???
035: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔
Lucky: I hate how you're just born out of nowhere, and you're forced to go to school and get education so you can get a job. What if I wanted to be a duck? No one ever asked me if I want to be a duck!
035: I don't like bugs. Lucky, are you even listening to me?
Lucky: I seem to have misplaced my ant farm.
035, at Catgurl: MOOOOOM!
049: *angrily presses Lucky against a wall* WHERE'S THE MONEY?!
Lucky: ...
Lucky: Are we about to kiss-
Lucky: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Catgurl’*
Kiki: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*
049: Lucky is a strings kid. We must sacrifice them to the band gods.
Catgurl: Yes.
Kiki: You're right. It'd be a good initiation for me.
Lucky: Wait, guys, what about the truce we signed-
Catgurl: What truce?
049: *sigh* The truce that we must destroy all the choir kids and leave the strings alone.
035: Wait, I'm a choir kid!
Everyone else: *prepares for sacrifice*
Catgurl: Lucky and I were crossing the street, and this man drove by and honked at us.
049: What did you do?
Catgurl: They chased him to the next red light, and reached into his window, and-
Lucky: *walking in* Who wants a steering wheel?
Kiki: Hold on! I’m having one of those things... a headache with pictures.
049: What the fuck?
035: They’re having an vision.
Lucky: It'll be fun.
Lucky: We'll make a day of it.
Lucky: Come on you punk bitch.
035: I can't believe I have to say this.
035: I don't have time to get tested for sti's with you tomorrow.
049: Lucky, remember when you said you weren’t going to interfere with my love life?
Lucky: No, that doesn’t sound like me at all.
Lucky: BEHOLD, the field in which I grow my fucks! Lay thine eyes upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren!
Kiki: ...My man Catgurl just killed a goldfish.
Catgurl: *licking their lips* Yup. Delicious.
049: Ooh, somebody has a crush
A random male mft: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Lucky I just think they’re cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about them.
*Later that night*
A random male mft, very much awake: Uh oh.
035: That was so hot, Kiki.
Kiki: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenterate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.
035: I'm so in love with you.
Catgurl, watching 035 and Andy fight: Are you sure they should be fighting? What if they get hurt?
049, not bothered by the chaos: It’s fine. They’re too evenly matched to hurt each other.
Catgurl: Then... who’s the strongest out of you three?
035: 049.
Andy: 049.
049: Me.
Lucky: honk.
049: WHAT.
Lucky: HONK.
049: WHAT DOES HONK MEAN THIS TIME YOU WHIMSICAL PIECE OF SHIT?????
035: What do we think of 049?
*pause*
Catgurl: *sighs* Nice pal.
Lucky, entering the room, bloody with a scalpel in her eye: I think they're gay.
Catgurl: I saw you fall, saw the sinners lay on your corpses...
Lucky: Hey, what’s up with Catgurl?
Catgurl: I created you, made the pieces perfect, others marveled at your beauty… their gazes may have held envy, though, for none are perfect but you. I was only looking away for a moment, but you were gone. I had failed you. And I fell into despair. The only way to save myself was to create, but I knew… this time I knew I was only making you to die. And I apologize. For I will undoubtedly fail you again. For a short time, there will be peace and beauty, but none in the face of us shall lay undisturbed. The greatest have fallen, and will continue to fall, and I weep for you for being born unto this place, where brother eats brother, and the undeserving rise to fame. Those that have gone against you know they’ve wronged you, and they will stand before the creator, knowing they have sinned. Do not worry, little ones, you will be avenged.
049: ...They made some rock towers and went somewhere else for twenty minutes and when they came back the rock towers were destroyed and people were sitting where the towers once were, so they were sad and made more rock towers.
049, to Catgurl: Hey, who even is the creator? I thought you were an atheist!
Catgurl: SHUT THE HELL UP, 049! I’M TRYING TO BE DRAMATIC AND MYSTERIOUS!
Lucky: Hah! 69! you know what that means?
Kiki: What?
049: That you're a child.
Catgurl, mimicking 049'a voice: HOW YOU GUESS MY IQ?!?
Lucky: The best way to gain someone's undying loyalty is by saving them from a perilous situation.
Catgurl: So you're just gonna wait until 049 is in danger and save them?
Lucky: Of course not, I'm going to create a situation that puts them in danger and then save them.
Catgurl: ...
Catgurl: You're insane.
IRL Me: Am I a boy? Am I a girl? It doesn't matter. I'm going to find a way to murder 049
Lucky: I committed all 7 deadly sins in 30 minutes.
035: Wow, I've gotta hear this.
Lucky: I was angry and envious of my neighbor so I lazily seduced his wife and ate all his groceries and didn't share.
035: You forgot pride.
Lucky: No, I'm pretty proud of this.

omg the bed sharing aus are my kryptonite i love so much omg
on one hand i wanna keep reading and asking for hc but also they just make me wish for a whole fic ahaha
i love the for love and softball inspired one ughhh do you have more? or like hcs of your other fav tropes?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is a reason why ‘there’s only one bed’ is such a commonly used trope - it’s just so good!
Ok here is a continuation of the last one and some other similar vibe hc’s based on other classic tropes:
- to continue the last hc (for love and softball inspired, they’re football co captains that hate each other - it’s there if you scroll back a little) - Arizona wakes up first in the morning (of course) and is mortified to find that she is laying on top of Callie. Like, head tucked into her neck, arm splayed across her chest, leg tucked between one of Callie’s. She’s so embarrassed, because she’s never done this before. She’s shared countless beds with teammates and has always managed to stick to her side just fine. Even when deliberately sharing a bed with someone, she’s always ended up rolling away and waking up on her side alone. So of course the one time she finds herself in this situation it’s with Callie, of all people. But also, she can’t deny that she’s really comfy and warm, and she smells really nice, and Callie does have arm around her back, so it’s not like it’s entirely her doing. Plus, she can’t deny that laying like that makes her feel all warm and tingly, so like, would it really be so bad if she just stayed here a little longer?
- fake dating - in the same hc universe but a separate hc - Arizona is fed up of her parents trying to set her up on dates. Like, it’s driving her absolutely mad. So she told them she had a girlfriend. Which was all well and good when they’re at their home on the other side of the country. Less so when they randomly show up one day at the training grounds just as Arizona is having a slightly heated conversation with Callie outside the grounds (because when she she not having a heated conversation with Callie). And so, when Arizona’s mum is like ‘is this the girl you were telling us about?’, Arizona panics and says yes, and suddenly Callie finds herself pretending to be Arizona’s girlfriend, and she really truly genuinely hates her but at the same time she’s been sucked into this lie kind of without her own say, and Arizona asked so so so nicely…
- hurt/comfort - same universe as above - Callie gets a serious injury whilst training. And Arizona is the one that’s closest to her at the time, so is the one that accompanies her off the pitch. And when she has to go to the hospital, Arizona can’t just leave her there, looking as distraught and broken as she does. So she goes with her, and stays by her side the entire time, and Callie is so scared and upset that she can’t be anything but completely grateful that Arizona didn’t leave her by herself. She wakes up after surgery to find Arizona asleep on the chair next to her bed, hand wrapped around Callie’s own, and Callie thinks she falls a little bit in love with her in that moment. (I know I could go a lot more ham on the hurt/comfort vibe but I stuck light this time - let me know if you want more angsty stuff bc hurt/comfort is one angsty genre I can do)
- ‘I’ve been in love with you forever’ - for like, her entire time at school, Callie has been a bit in love with Arizona Robbins. At first it was just a crush; she just thought that she was really pretty. But then she got to know her a bit through various classes and assignments and goddamn she was head over heels for this ridiculous bubbly grade A student who also happened to be one of the coolest kids in the class. And also between her and her twin brother, they were the focus of just about every pair of eyes in the entire school. so like, as much as she wanted her, she never had a chance. So she didn’t try. Fast forward university and Callie finds herself coming home when offered a job she can’t refuse, and bam there is Arizona, working at the same damn firm as her direct supervisor, of all things. And god, it’s been years, but those blue eyes and dimples still make Callie feel like she’s a blushing 16 year old all over again.
