Felix revels in the close contact until Chan buries his nose in Felix’s hair and takes the most dramatic deep inhale. It’s like he’s trying to see if he can suck up Felix’s hair with his nose to tickle his brain.

“Are you smelling me?”

“You smell nice,” Chan says, taking another exaggerated sniff. Felix can’t really imagine how he’d smell nice, after a day out dancing followed by a restaurant visit. Felix pulls his sleeve to his face to see what Chan is talking about. He gets a nose full of smokey, meaty, fried cotton, under it lingers the scent of Chan’s detergent. “I smell like barbecue.”

“Yeah, like I said,” He buries his nose in Felix’s shoulder. “Nice.”

______ aka the found family trope with werewolves and an oblivious Felix OR Felix unknowingly adopts a bunch of Werewolves.

The Surprise

Fandom: The Witcher (TV) Pairing: Geralt x Jaskier Rating: G Summary:  Jaskier has fifteen minutes before he goes to the new interview, when he notices something tucked in among his clothes. Frowning, he pulls it to find an envelope with his name on it in Geralt’s handwriting. Words: 540 Notes: Modern Setting. Tagging: @flashfictionfridayofficial​

Read @ AO3

Jaskier has fifteen minutes before he goes to the new interview, when he notices something tucked in among his clothes. Frowning, he pulls it to find an envelope with his name on it in Geralt’s handwriting.

Curious, he carefully rips it open and realizes is a letter. It’s not a very long one, after all, he’s only been away from home for a week and this is his last day of work before he returns home. Returns to Geralt.

He unfolds the letter and begins to read.

Dear Jaskier,

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you.

Thank you for loving me. I know I have not been the easiest boyfriend or friend at the beginning of relationship. I know that our differences in character made things hard for you to be my friend, and later, someone who loved me.

But I am glad that we have come together. You have lightened my life in a way that I can’t begin to put into words. So thank you for that also.

I want you to know that I have missed you, and every time that you have to leave for work or I have to leave you behind for my own work, I miss you and will always miss you. And I have a confession to make, I always carry the bracelet you gave me as a good luck charm. I’m quite sure it has worked on several occasions.

And when I’m on assignment and I miss you, it’s the one thing of yours that I can wear and feel comforted. It helps me feel closer to you.

You know that I was loud about not wanting attachments, how thankful I am that you never gave up. Even on those moments were I was not the best for you. Your friendship means so much to me, and it meant the world back in those dark days, because I was used to being alone. Now, I am aware that I have not always been the best, one of my least proud moments is that one when I yelled at you and all but pushed you away. How stupid, blind and such fool I was.

I will always owe Yennefer for the fact that she made our paths cross once more. And I will always owe and love you for forgiving me. You made me grow as a person and I am very much thankful for that. You made me see life in colors that I never knew existed.

So, take care and come home safely, for I will be waiting to envelop you in my arms and kiss you senseless.

I’m very much looking forward you coming home.

With everything that I am, Geralt.

P.S. This letter stays between us, Jaskier.

His eyes are blurry with tears when he finishes the letter, and he is sure the smile he has is one that could classify him as a fool, but he doesn’t care. This was such an unexpected gift from Geralt, that for once, he was speechless. The fact that Geralt had written him such a small, yet meaningful letter touched him and made him love Geralt all the more.

Now, he really wanted to go home.

#meat! food for the pack! we're eating well tonight! #for context I mentioned earlier that in their setting normal four-legged dogs don't exist #which is a bummer since in canon timeline Vasco likes to hunt and in that era hunting usually involved a lot of hounds #and they just have to do without #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Machete #Vasco #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals #modern au #comics #typically sighthounds are also known for their high prey drive but I think Machete's reaction time and fitness leave a lot to be desired

Eddie finally lets Jeff talk him into going on this blind date. It's not like he's against dating, he just doesn't expect fireworks from an hour of small talk over an overpriced dinner, y'know? Jeff swore by this guy, though, assuring Eddie that they would hit it off, but Eddie will never know because the guy doesn't show.

That's right, he gets stood up, Jeff texts him a string of apologies saying the guy chickened out. So Eddie’s just sitting there alone, trying not to sulk when the waitress asks if he's still waiting to order. Fuck it, he refuses to be the most miserable person in the restaurant, looking around to find someone equally as pathetic, and lo and behold:

Three tables away, there's a guy getting dumped.

Eddie eavesdrops because he has nothing better to do. It’s a pretty standard breakup. Sounds like they haven't been together long and things fizzled out. Neither of them seem to be invested enough to try and salvage it.

"Aren't you gonna say anything, Steve?"

No, Steve isn't. He just sits there while his former boyfriend leaves, doesn't try to stop him at all. Not in a hardened douchebag way, but in a dejected 'why do I even bother' way that Eddie knows all about.

And well, Eddie might be a cynic but his curiosity isn't dead. This Steve is far too pretty to be getting dumped in a seafood place and Eddie has to know what the deal is. It leads him right over to Steve's table. He looks up at Eddie, not quite dead behind the eyes yet, but maybe a little lonely. Just needs a spark.

"Alright well, something tells me that a stranger bugging you won't be the worst thing to happen to you tonight, so I'm just gonna take this empty seat and maybe we can help each other figure out why we're both alone on a Friday night. What do you say?"

Steve blinks, a little taken back at first, then he matches the nonchalance that Eddie's so good at faking with a smirk and a shrug, "Depends. Do you have all night?"

Turns out, Jeff was right about one thing, Eddie does hit it off with someone and it doesn't take all night. They leave the restaurant together, spend hours just walking the town and even breaking into a park after hours. It's the most fun Eddie's had in a while, and even though he doesn't get a goodnight kiss just yet, he gets a second date, which is even better.

He walks home with a skip in his step and a fire in his belly that he hasn't felt in years. He never thought he'd be so glad to get stood up before.

#modern au but like 2000s romcom you know #when trying to help figure out why the other is ‘undateable’ turns into ‘you’re perfect why am i not dating you?’ real quick #steddie #eddie munson #steve harrington #my fics #steddie ficlet #steddie fic #steddie headcanons #rueswriting #steve x eddie #stranger things #meet cute #yes jeff still takes credit at the wedding for setting them up #mp

I imagine them to be a happy family in the modern AU where Fengxian and Lakan are married and Lahan and Maomao are their children. Fengxian would be strict but she very much dotes on her kids (just not as obviously as Lakan, but who can compare with Lakan).

I feel like Lakan would be a lawyer which would put his skills to use, whereas Fengxian would be an academic in mathematics, and of course they're both super good at xiangqi and go in different ways. (I'd like to think Fengxian taught Lahan a lot of maths when he was younger and that encouraged his love for the subject).

#And Fengxian and Lakan were in the same university #where Fengxian was known as unbeatable in xiangqi and go in the maths dept and Lakan for the law dept #And then they get set up to play each other in go and xiangqi and that's how they met #maomao #rahan #lahan #rakan #lakan #fengxian #kusuriya no hitorigoto #kusuriya maomao #light novel spoilers #the apothecary diaries #kusuriya anime #knh #modern au #I just want them to be happy #la clan

title: part of something ours author: ohsun rating: explicit wordcount: 52111 pairing: lee donghyuck (haechan)/mark lee summary: 

While Donghyuck was trying to sort out college applications, Mark was signing a record deal, and when Donghyuck dropped out after three months of feeling dead inside, Mark was busying recording June Bug’s debut album –– at least, that’s what Donghyuck likes to think.

Fact is, Donghyuck doesn’t know. He didn’t stay in touch with Mark, for more reasons than just practical –– so he doesn’t know what happened to Mark, how he got where he is today. Most importantly, Donghyuck doesn’t know who Mark is now, and maybe that consoles his fear a little. 

It doesn’t matter if Mark doesn’t recognise him, because Donghyuck is not sure he will recognise Mark.

6SS: Cassian x Jyn: Deal

"Listen Cass, we can argue all day about this --- "

Cassian leaned down and kissed Jyn gently on the lips, "Or maybe not; maybe we could do better things."

Jyn looked at him dazzled, she hated when Cassian one upped her this way, "I should get offended, but goddamn it, I love you too much."

"Thank you, and for what is worth, I do think we could do better things than arguing, let us rest this matter and we can always come back to it later."

Jyn narrowed her eyes for a bit, "Fine, but we're having dinner at my favorite restaurant."

Cassian laughed, "Deal."

the only Amis who have to Actually Care about their studies are the med students

all the rest are on a sliding scale from 'we don't actually know if they're even in college' to ' actively resisting the college they are enrolled in like they've been dumped behind enemy lines'

they are shit terrible students and that is actually canon

#Marius is a good student. #Marius is square as hell. #this is actually a part of the setup that i think is really hard to graft onto the US modern setting #college is so massively different now #it's expensive there are so many Requirements it's so hostile to like. Life. #why would most of them even be there #being a Good Student has absolutely no correlation with Being Intelligent or Being a Good Person or Overthrowing the Government #and it's less and less of a Given that even middle class kids will attend #so let me tell you about my Amis in Community College/ Community Classes AU--- *is pulled offstage by a giant comedy hook*
