[twicearoundthesun]

Jeongyeon hadn’t missed the teasing looks Chaeyoung was shooting across the dinner table at Dahyun, or Tzuyu’s quick kicks to Chaeyoung’s shin under the table each time she did. She certainly didn’t miss how Dahyun seemed to grow more and more anxious as dinner went on, tuning out as the conversation ambled along.

She’d simply learned that sometimes it was better to let the kids have their secrets. The truth usually came out pretty quickly, anyway.

“So…” Dahyun finally mumbled as dinner finished up and the three of them started to collect everyone’s plates. Tzuyu took the dishes from Dahyun’s hands and patted her on the shoulder, nodding at her to sit back down. “I, uh…”

She scratched at the wooden table, all six of the adults’ eyes on her. Jeongyeon felt for her. If she thought telling her own parents things was hard growing up, it must have been at least three times as hard with six people looking after her. She cut her some slack and turned her attention back to the table, meeting eyes with Mina.

“Everything alright, kiddo?” Nayeon asked.

“Yeah. Everything’s great.” She took a deep breath, eyes firmly on a scratch in the wooden table. “Um, I just, I wanted to tell you I.. I’m seeing someone. Um, like dating. Her name is Gahyeon.” Her cheeks blushed bright red.

Jeongyeon cracked a smile and the table erupted in a cheer. Sana squealed, practically leaping from her chair to pull Dahyun into a hug.

“Our little Dahyunnie!” She pinched her cheeks, “Tell us everything! Is she cute? Is she in your classes? Does she-”

“Sana, oh my god, please be cool about this.” Jihyo whined. “She does this to me every time someone looks my way, don’t worry Dahyunnie.”

Jeongyeon only laughed and shook her head, feeling Nayeons hand intertwine with hers. She squeezed, meeting her eyes as Sana, Momo, and Jihyo continued to banter. Nayeon flashed a nervous smile. They’d known something was up, of course- in the week since the three of them got back for winter break, there’d been much more smiling at her phone and disappearing to her room. Jeongyeon and Nayeon had talked about it a few nights ago, before bed, and Nayeon assured she wouldn’t press for information. Nor would she try to intimidate whoever it was if they ever wound up at their house.

But Nayeon was a little protective.

Jeongyeon knew this, the other Unnies knew this, and the kids certainly recognized it, though Nayeon would deny it forever.

So when Gahyeon showed up to their house a few months later carrying a box of home-made double chocolate cookies and Nayeon’s favorite bottle of white wine, Jeongyeon could only laugh. Had Dahyun told her whose affection was hardest to win over? Did the kid just have fantastic luck?

Gahyeon offered her presents confidently, with a big smile, and Jeongyeon was quick to thank her and tell her to make herself comfy. She was looking forward to getting to know the girl better – she’d be lying if she said her overprotective nerves weren’t fighting to the front of her mind, now, but she told herself it was just curiosity – and was excited when Dahyun had asked if Gahyeon could stay over for spring break.

By the second night, Gahyeon had settled in and Jeongyeon had gotten some time to observe the young couple.

Gahyeon always had a hand in Dahyun’s, thumb moving back and forth soothingly, keeping her grounded and present; she hardly noticed Dahyun picking her nails, or clenching her jaw like she tended to do absent-mindedly. If Dahyun struggled to find the right word Gahyeon simply waited, a peaceful smile on her face as Dahyun’s mouth caught up to her brain, and listened intently when the story resumed. And when Chaeyoung would make a joke at Dahyun’s expense, or when the occasional half-serious little argument would pop up between the siblings, Gahyeon would rest a hand on her back, and Dahyun would sigh, letting Tzuyu’s sarcasm or Chaeyoung’s teasing roll right off her calmly.

And for her part, Dahyun was a perfectly chivalrous girlfriend; always offering her coat if they were out, or her blanket if they were home. Quick to jump up to get her water or food or anything at all before Gahyeon even asked (and Jeongyeon liked to think she got that chivalry from a particular positive example, growing up), and encouraging her to brag about her many achievements and speak up about her interests.

As they got to know her, the coincidences continued beyond bringing Nayeon’s favorite wine – Gahyeon had a favorite game in common with Mina, a favorite Disney movie in line with Momo’s, an interest in history like herself. Jeongyeon would have been sure Dahyun was telling her all the right things to say, had each of the stories not seemed entirely genuine, and had Dahyun’s incredulous look of awe not been present each time she related so easily to another thing someone in the family said. Jeongyeon knew her kids, and Dahyun couldn’t fake surprise to save her life.

By midway through the week when the kids were out and about, exploring their hometown, the admitted conclusion between the Unnies was unanimous. They loved Gahyeon, she was perfect for their eldest, and the smile on Dahyun’s face whenever they met eyes was enough for them to let go of any fear of heartbreak (at which Momo reminded them all how dramatic they were being.)

That night at dinner was when Jeongyeon finally caught it: as Gahyeon finished telling them about her biology final project (research on the effects of light pollution on salt-saturated wetlands or something, which Mina listened to with wide eyes and a bright, obviously impressed smile), Chaeyoung offered her a wink and a smile that Jeongyeon could only recognize as mischievous. When all the kids tried to excuse themselves for dinner to play a board game, Jeongyeon reminded Chaeyoung she was on dish duty tonight and that she could join them in a second. The girl huffed but didn’t fight it, joining her in the kitchen.

“So.” Jeongyeon handed her a plate to dry. “Gahyeon, huh?”

“Yeah, crazy. She’s awesome, right?”

“Mhm. Very impressive. Lots to talk about.”

“Mhm.”

“I saw that wink, Chaeyoung.” Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow. Chaeyoung feigned ignorance. “When she was telling Mina about the Biology research.”

Jeongyeon could tell that Chaeyoung knew she was caught. She sighed.

“Have you been telling Gahyeon what to say to us?” She accused, half-serious. It wouldn’t be an offense, per say, but a little disappointing they weren’t getting to know the girl for real.

“No! Definitely not.”

“Chaeng. She showed up with Nayeon’s favorite wine from the correct year.”

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes. “Okay, maybe. I gave Gahyeon the run-down on everyone because she was nervous to meet them. And I told her to bring that wine, but mainly because I like it, too.” Her chin was raised as she focused on the dishes in front of her.

Jeongyeon felt a little betrayed.

“So all of the impressive stuff she’s been saying –”

“Unnie, that’s all completely true. She isn’t lying. I just gave her some tips, you know. Mina-Unnie’s a marine biologist into Nintendo, so she should tell her about her Bio research. Momo-Unnie likes Disney, but I didn’t know their favorites were the same.” Chaeyoung shrugged. “She was nervous, and Dahyun wasn’t very helpful, because she didn’t want to be direct and have Gahyeon feel like she couldn’t talk about whatever she wanted, and I really like her and I think she makes Dahyunnie really happy. So I wanted her to make a good impression. Because I didn’t want any doubt in Dahyun’s mind that you liked her, you know she overthinks.”

Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow. Oh.

“I’m sorry, okay? I don’t know. I thought I was helping.” Chaeyoung huffed, and went back to drying.

“Chaengie, why are you sorry?” Jeongyeon laughed. “That’s sweet. That’s so sweet of you.”

Chaeyoung blushed. “It’s whatever.”

“No, no, our Chaengie’s still that sweet little baby looking after her sisters,” Jeongyeon teased, pinching her cheeks. “So cute.”

“Unnie-” Chaeyoung made a face and pushed her off. “Ew! You have dish water on your hands-”

Jeongyeon wiped off her cheeks with her sleeve and enveloped her in a hug that she didn’t fight.

“Thank you, Chaeng.”

Again, Chaeyoung shrugged. “She makes Dahyun happy. I want you guys to like her, I want Dahyun to be happy.”

“I know, and that’s very sweet.”

“Don’t tell her, though, okay?”

“No worries, kiddo, I won’t.” She held her at arm’s length. “Go play games. I’ll finish up here.”

Chaeyoung giggled and hugged her again.

“Thanks, Unnie.” And she disappeared from the kitchen and up the stairs.

(Some of) My favourite fics of 2023

2023! What a year, eh? Jesus fucking Christ.

There's no way I can start this list without making a huge caveat: unlike last year, I have NOT read all the RWRB fics that have come out in 2023, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. There's just been SO MUCH, and I have in no way kept up.

Anyway. These are my favourite things that I HAVE read. Rules (because who am I if not an extremely organised rule follower?): fic has to have been published in 2023; no more than one per author (some of you gave me real trouble here). Last year I only let myself put five fics on the list, this year I’ve been slightly more generous. Here we go:

muscle memory by @dumbpeachjuice: (E, ~30k) pining while fucking so good it makes me a little bit insane.

Going Platinum by @cricketnationrise: (E, ~20k) OMG the camboy!Alex AU I never knew I needed.

With so much of my heart (that none is left to protest) by @kiwiana-writes: (E, ~65k) Shakespearean actors goodness!

Sweetheart Grips by @orestespdf: (E, ~13k) I am a little bit in love with trans Alex.

coyote ugly series (part 1 part 2) by @smc-27: (E, ~12k) *the rules are being bent, no one look over here. I'm already screaming at myself for not choosing the tennis AU or the stripper!Henry entry* Pining that's worth its weight in gold.

Taste the Way You Bleed by @cha-melodius: (T, ~4k) *again it pains me to not go with spy bois or cheesemonger Henry* The Halloween Huh! fic that nearly ended me in the best way. So funny I could scream.

The Edge of Glory by @historicallysam (T, ~10k) fantastic post-canon exploration of: what if Alex got asked to back into politics, after they've had a kid?

a rich and complex tapestry by @everwitch-magiks (E, ~9k) Henry hosts a radio show about sex and relationships, Alex fucks his way through his bisexual crisis. Delightful.

And of course I couldn’t leave out these babies I helped birth (gross, I beta read them):

Underground by @zwiazdziarka: (T, ~4k) If you love Labyrinth (and Henry in tights, which--who doesn't!) then I've got the fic for you!

why are you googling vampires? by @daisymae-12: (E, ~14k) vampire Henry goodness starring Twilight obsessed Alex

***

As for my favourite out of my own fics, I'm gonna go for an outlier: Down by the Water, I Saw You (E, ~63k). I love all my fics, and the numbers on some of the post-August 11 fics speak for themselves, but this one has my heart. The journey from sad/angry exes to trusting each other again and getting over all the past hurts; to being able to dig into their hearts and find that love that they'd both buried but never managed to get rid of. I wrote it because it was what I wanted to read and it still kills me. Of all my fics, it's the one I miss the most.

***

Thanks to all of you who've read my stuff, everyone who’s sent a nice comment or message my way; everyone who started reading RWRB fic this year, everyone who watched the film then found the book then turned to ao3 because they needed MORE. I know the feeling. What a ride it's been.

WIP Wednesday

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who's already submitted a prompt for my subscriber shindig! I'm having a fucking blast reading them all; some of you really understood the 'go buckwild' assignment and I'm obsessed with it, haha. There's still plenty of time to get a prompt in—I'm not going to close it off early—but I'll likely fill prompts more or less in the order I get them, if that affects when you want to drop into my ask box. Also I've had a couple of people submit anon without including their AO3 username: please make sure you include that if you're submitting anonymously, otherwise I won't be able to fill the prompt.

Anyway, today I'm back with more Doctor Who AU. I promise you won't need to be familiar with DW to follow this fic (I've roped multiple non-DW folks in to read it through to make sure, bless them) but there are definitely some easter eggs for the fans, including in this snippet:

Alex looks at him for a long moment, a sadness in his eyes that tells Henry he, too, has had to learn how to say goodbye. “He must be someone really special, to be worth all that.” It’s kind, and understanding, and there’s an undercurrent of something Henry can’t quite puzzle out—but it also makes him flinch away from sharing anything further. The thing is, the rest of the universe gets the full Time Lord of it all. They get the Last Child of Gallifrey, the Oncoming Storm, Ka Faraq Gatri the Destroyer of Worlds, the Lonely God, the Imp of the Pandorica, the Timeless Child. They pass down stories of how they were saved once, by a mysterious man in a blue box, the tales passed from parent to child until the hero of them is more myth than history. But Alex? Henry’s Alex, not this stranger who bears his name? The Alex who kisses Henry like he needs him to breathe, who calls Henry baby with a reverence he offers nothing and no one else, who only truly settles when his shoulders are bracketed with Henry’s own? That Alex is Henry’s, and Henry’s alone. “He’s no one.” Alex’s gaze flickers as Henry returns the diary to his bag, and Henry grits his teeth through the rest of the lie. “Just someone I travel with sometimes.”

Is tagging still fuckerooed? Who's to say? Tagging:

[puphyo]

hello taveon, dont know if you still take requests while you are still writing on your AU, but can I request a little SMC on the plane to a tour location (you can choose) and regression mid flight and acting like how babys/toddlers would normally act while flying and 3mix having to scold them

i’m so sorry it took me so long to get to this rq i’ve had such awful writers block, it’s not fully as expanded as i would like it to be, but it’s a start of getting out of writer’s block :)

the day had started out completely fine, rounding up everyone was an easy task, even waking everyone was easy. boarding the plane was even easier, somehow, when it usually a draining task, despite how tired everyone had been, the problem only arose once they were in the air for nearly three hours.

tzuyu was the first to slip, and while she wasnt usually the youngest of the regressors, that title was nayeon’s, she definitely wasn’t the oldest, and the person she wanted to care for her, mina, was busy watching a movie, half awake, three seats behind her. this usually wouldn’t be a problem to tzuyu, she’d turn on a cartoon and hope she could relax herself, but for some reason she felt too anxious to do so. of course, the obvious option to do next was to bother the person sitting next to her. it was jeongyeon, who usually has the most patience for the little members, she hadn’t slept well, and in turn was a little bit grumpy.

tzuyu poked at jeongyeon’s side, and once that didn’t get her the attention she wanted, she decided to start rubbing her head against the older woman’s shoulder, whining a little bit. it did get her attention, jeong lifted her arm from her side and wrapped ir around tzuyu’s shoulders, but didn’t take her eyes off of the book she was reading, which, was unacceptable to tzuyu. she was small and she wanted attention now, and jeongyeon needed to provide it or else. tzuyu’s hand lifted slowly from her lap, then grabbed the top of jeongyeon’s book and (gently) pulled it out of jeong’s hand, and once jeongyeon turned incredibly fast to look at tzuyu with confusion and little bit of frustration, tzuyu giggled. she’d gotten the attention she wanted, even if it wasn’t exactly the nicest thing to do.

“tzuyu…” jeongyeon started, her voice was still sleep filled, raspy, even though she’d been awake for a few hours now, and tzuyu’s eyes began watering on instinct. tzuyu didn’t wanted to be scolded, she just wanted attention, but she couldn’t figure out how to say it, words were too hard and now she’d upset her jeongyeon. “i’m not in the mood, tzu, give me my book back.”

tzuyu nodded, a stray tear falling from one of her eyes, tzuyu was tired, upset, and now she felt bad for upsetting her jeongyeon. she handed the book back shyly, making sure she’d kept the page marked with one of her fingers, but now she was even more upset. she was small, jeongyeon didn’t seem to notice, and that upset her more than the idea that she made jeongie mad.

it wasn’t long before she was sobbing, jeongyeon rolled her eyes and marked the page of her book, when she finally got a good look at tzuyu and realized: tzuyu’s been regressed.

on another part of the plane, nayeon was in a similar situation with chae. chaeyoung was always an excitable little, and now is no exception. chae was doing her best to move around as much as possible, thankfully she wasn’t in an aisle seat so she wasn’t walking up and down the aisle like nayeon knew should would be, but that didn’t stop the bouncing, wiggling, and babbling. no matter what nayeon tried, chae was not able to sit still. movies? no. conversations? no. chae just wanted to play, she wanted to run around.

jihyo, instead of being stuck with mischievous toddlers, was instead in charge of dahyun, who, had dropped much younger than she had in a long time. she was sobbing, and jihyo had to work the girl into her side, and dahyun’s little head tucked into the crook of jihyo’s neck, still sobbing. jihyo wasn’t sure how to help dahyunnie, jihyo was usually the one being comforted, so all she could do was shush her, tell her it’ll be okay. but dahyun didn’t seem to calm even slightly.

jihyo hadn’t expected to be taking care of a little, especially not one so young, so she didn’t have anything on hand. other then her keys to the dorm, her apartment, her car and a few other miscellaneous things, which she handed to dahyunnie after a few moments of contemplation, who seemed fascinated at the sound and how her car key flipped open and closed.

needless to say, all three of them had a talking to once they were in their hotel rooms, tzuyu about just expressing what she needed, chaeyoung about finding other ways to let out her energy, and poor dahyunnie about what caused her to be so young, which ended up being the fact that everything seemed overstimulating. from arriving so early at the airport, to the turbulence, to the fact everything was so bright.

a lesson was learned that day for those six, mainly about communicating before it got out of hand, but also about how else to take care of the youngest three when regressed.

Six Sentence Sunday

Eternally grateful to @kiwiana-writes for the tag, look at me actually doing the thing on the day it's supposed to be done! Thank you, thank you, please, you can hold your applause 😂

This week has seen more of that slow, plodding progress with the Charm Offensive AU, and we're still in Henry's POV for this week's six(ish) sentences!

“How’s it going, love? How was the first night of filming?” Agonizing. Eternal. Completely demoralizing. “It was fine,” he says. Pez looks at him pointedly, and Henry remembers how hard a sell that might be sporting two black eyes that make him look not unlike a panda bear. “Okay, so parts of it were worse than others.” “Clearly. How about the parts with the women? Can I safely assume that it, at least, wasn’t one of them that did this to your gorgeous face?” Henry shakes his head. “You’d be correct. It was one of their jealous cavemen exes, but I suppose that’s on security more than it is any of the women.” “You’re damn right it is! It sounds to me like a well-timed phone call to Mary Mountbatten might be a good idea.” It’s the most legitimately angry he’s ever heard his best friend, and it warms the pit of his stomach, settles something that’s been roiling since the moment he landed at LAX.  “Please, don’t do that. You and I both know I need this, and besides. The women aren’t terrible!” Henry says, although he very much wishes that he could let Pez tell the show’s executive producer exactly where it was she could shove her promises of increased security. But, what he wanted — what he needed — more than that was to prove to the world, and to the board at his future publishing house, that he was perfectly capable of being just your average guy.  Your average gorgeous, wealthy, literati nepo-baby who’s skeletons had come roaring so gloriously out his closet at his televised book announcement that he’d been immediately in danger of losing the entire deal.  “Ah yes! ‘Not terrible’, exactly the rousing romantic endorsement Quest for Love has built it’s empire on.”

Tags are below the cut, and as always I'm absolutely rabid to know what y'all are working on, so if I missed you in the tags, feel free to participate anyway! Just make sure to tag me so I don't miss it!

[cha-melodius]

I'm not a writer but I've had this concept for a firstprince fic in my head for months and I really wish someone would be interested to write it! Love your stuff, and this isn't a request or anything, I just know you are followed/you follow many writers and maybe one of them will like it. Since Jude Law is canonically Arthur Fox (in my mind) and I recently watched The Holiday (2006), I'm dreaming of a Holiday AU where Alex and Pez switch houses, so Pez goes with June/Nora to DC or LA and Alex gets the British cottage. And eventually a drunk *spoiler: hot single dad* shows up at his door.

Hey anon! You're not the only one to have thoughts about The Holiday and firstprince, although I haven't seen one quite like you're saying—most focus only on the Alex/Henry side of things, so adding the Pez + Junora side is pretty cool!

For existing The Holiday AUs, I can heartily recommend all my time is yours to spend by @smc-27, and for another with similar vibes, AirBnB My Baby by @indomitable-love. There are a couple of others floating around as well that I haven't read (find them on AO3 here), but are worth checking out too.

Anyway, if anyone reading this wants to adopt this idea (never too early to start writing for next Christmas 😉), have at it! Everyone loves a good house swap fic!

[jihyocentric]

hi lumi so this is just an ask but i wanted to hear ur thoughts on jichaeng?? i hardly see them together but theyre actually my top 2 biases in twice and i just love when i get fed crumbs lskdfjslkd

but yeah!! sfw, nsfw, whatever u want, just curious abt what u think!!

-🐶

pup anon now that you're talking about it, i don't get any chaeyoung, dahyun or tzuyu (except for jitzu) asks/requests at all.. this is just sad 😭 i think there's not many smc stans that follow me, this must be why!

okay now it's jichaeng time! when i think about jichaeng the first thing that comes to my mind is this video. i just had to share it bc i love the way jihyo looks at chaeyoung... tender and apologetic. her eyes are so pretty too!

sfw wise what i like the most about them is that chaeyoung loves to compliment people. she's loving and warm and i think jihyo appreciates it, like when chaeyoung talked about how pretty jihyo's shoulders are or when she touches jihyo randomly and gives her a compliment!

i think that other than nayeon, sana and jeongyeon (surprisingly), chaeyoung might be the one that compliments jihyo the most. i don't even need to say anything about how much jihyo needs them, right?! and chaeyoung is such a softie... she has such thoughtful things to say about jihyo 🥺

but also the rich milf x younger girl who's a broke ass college student or even a dropout is what i usually see for them, i'm sorry 😭 they're really different and these kinds of tropes is what i relate them to the most

but it's not like the sugarmommy!hyo (jitzu au) dynamic because in my mind jihyo wanted tzuyu first and then they got together. i think chaeyoung would have a hard time trying to pull jihyo. i just love the idea of little gay girl chaeyoung chasing around milfs (like nayeon, sana, mina... but it's jichaeng time so let's talk about jichaeng!!)

i like to think about jihyo accepting to get laid with chaeyoung sometimes to blow off some steam but at the same time not really treating chaeyoung like an actual potential partner. kind of angsty, but i think it would really go this way, until jihyo realizes she might have feelings towards chaeyoung... but that would take a while. and it could cost a broken heart if she takes too long.

as idols, i feel like it would go the same way, except for the angsty part! nsfw wise, chaeyoung is a service top for jihyo. there's no other way i can picture it really... i'm so convinced chaeyoung would love to serve her. it's kind of the same way i see jihyo being a service top for nayeon.

i totally see chaeyoung sleeping around in jihyo's dorm sometimes just because she wants to touch her or if she needs some cuddles. they're not the pda type of couple, so when they do have time for themselves i bet chaeyoung loves spending them between jihyo's thighs or just spooning her really (and ofc jihyo is the big spoon. chaeyoung is her baby, no matter how many times she came on her fingers!)

i bet chaeyoung would spend hours talking about the things she likes or new things she learned and jihyo would listen attentively because she loves it when chaeyoung gets excited about something. that's the best part about them being different. they can talk about a lot of different stuff because they don't share the same taste in most things! it's good to hear chaeyoung talking because her voice is sweet and jihyo can sleep easily when she hears it, especially when she has insomnia :(

overall any ships involving chaeyoung to me are soft because she IS soft! i love the fact that her love language is giving presents, praising the ones she loves and touching them. she's the babiest in twice and no one can change my mind on that 🥹

#🐶 anon #asks #jichaeng #chaeyu are the babiest actually!

[pupvivi]

could u update the smc body positivity au? maybe like they haven’t met up in a little while so tzuyu calls them out of the blue while touching herself and dubchaeng is immediately turned on?

Sure but it's been a while so if I'm slightly off it's cause it's been over a year since i touched this au.

--

Finals week is always rough, so it wasn't any surprise when none of them had any energy besides texting good morning and wishing peaceful slumber whenever they called it a night.

Tzuyu's finals ended first, and while she would love nothing more then to invite herself over to her girlfriends place, she knew they need to focus on studying. But she was needy. She wanted attention, to be seen and heard.

She sent a text, and to her surprise it was read by both of them pretty quickly. Chaeyoung just started her break and Dahyun was having lunch. Maybe this was the perfect chance.

Can I video call? I miss both of you. :(

With both of their confirmation, she passed the call button, and soon she saw familiar faces.

"Hi, baby. You look a little too perfect for someone who's also been taking exams this week." Chaeyoung teased, and Tzuyu puffed up her cheeks.

"Hey, be nice or she'll take back those sweet words she just sent us." Dahyun defended, but the quirk of her lips gave away that she wanted to laugh.

Tzuyu rolled her eyes before settling in her bed. "Both of you behave or I'll hang up without showing you something."

That got both of their attentions. Chaeyoung taking deep breath though her nose, while Dahyun cleared her throat. It's really been a while since they did anything, but they both knew that if Tzuyu wanted to show them something, then it was worth behaving.

Tzuyu smiled knowing she had both of their attentions. Fixing a pout on her face, she angled the phone to give a view of herself. "I miss both of you so much, and I know you're both busy. But I don't want you to forget about me either, so I figured." Her free hand traveled up through her sleeping shirt, giving them both a visual of what she was up to.

A moan slipped through her mouth, and she heard a curse. She wasn't certain who it was, but it was enough to encourage her actions. Tweaking and rolling her own nipple while having an audience only heightened her please.

"Unnie,* she whimpered so pitifully, knowing just how badly it made both of them squirm. She didn't need to check to see if they were still watching, she knew they were and it was so sexy. "Should I continue? I wanna show more of how badly I miss you."

something very important to me about the baby smc au fam is that Dahyun is never just dismissed when she’s upset, even before the autism diagnosis. if she’s overwhelmed because an article of clothing feels wrong, she’s never told to ‘get over it’, never made to feel like she’s ‘just being difficult;’ they’ll help her find a new shirt. She’s sent with extra clothes to daycare or school - comfy, soft ones made from a familiar fabric. if she’s struggling to eat something because of the texture, she isn’t forced to finish it, they’ll help her prepare herself a safe food. meltdowns aren’t met with anger or frustration, but patience and understanding and love. the unnies are always, always willing to listen to her and take her concerns and feelings seriously.

Of course, they’re like this with all three of the babies. but they run into it more often with dahyun.

That qzgs xianxia au part 2

Nobody’s complaining so we gonna talk abt more shit

Part 1 ig

— qyf cut his hair after leaving tiny herb sect, bc I say so, and also bc chin length ponytails are cute and he’s baby

— hey I lowkey ship gaoqiao so don’t @ me if they end up being cultivation partners or smth

— speaking of the witch class specializes in flying around on their magic swords, they kind of just Yeet qi and talismans and shit at people from above

— don’t look at me for info on the gunner subclasses I’m still researching cultivation myself

— mo fan would probably hang around the forests at night and snatch shit from casual cultivators during their night hunts. Ig he sells them? Maybe he knows a few things abt cultivation himself?

— whatever it is he tries to steal from ye xiu, who btw is taking the lion’s share of the night hunts, and yx ends up annoying him until he agrees to collaborate/become a disciple/something

— smq and smc are some of the last members of the su clan, which ig used to be pretty famous for their cultivation and their pioneering of a ton of formations, techniques, weapons, etc

— but ig since they did a ton of experimentation and shit, the su clan has a high death rate

— anyways so smq and smc are orphans bc their parents fucked up in some cultivation related accident, and i suppose their branch of the clan specialized in the shit related to the ‘gunner’ form of cultivator combat? which in this au is probably gonna include more formations than gunpowder?

— anyways so smq is a genius and he creates a bunch of weapons, the political/social atmosphere of the time made him hold off his magnum opus, lord grim, which I suppose is some magic shapeshifting umbrella

— and he ends up [redacted] being able to complete lord grim due to qi deviation, during secluded meditation since he wanted to reach a higher stage in preparation for the founding of ee sect and the state sect scene

— so yeah he’s [redacted] and yx goes off to ee on his own.

— I guess tang rou came from a rich merchant family, but her dad absolutely loves her and let her do what she want

— which includes avoiding a marriage arranged by mother tang by running off to the ancient hangzhou area where she works for cg at the tavern

— btw in this au not everyone uses their magic swords. I mean they could but they also act as identification/status. I mean like by taking oal sun xiang gets the mantle of ee sect leader, but he ends up also snatching the battle mage spear evil annihilation so he can be a functional ‘battle mage’ type combatant

— and honestly? You don’t /need/ a sword to be a cultivator but it’s a sign of status and having a god level sword like vaccaria or troubling rain means you’re fucking powerful and everything. And also if you don’t have a sword you can’t fly, so everyone has a sword anyways

— the berserker class of cultivators use dao instead of jian, because daos are heavier and usually involve more powerful movements as compared to jian which are more like the gentlemen of the four weapons

— yeah uh I suppose your magic sword doesn’t have to be a jian, if you know you’re gonna commit to some tanky swordsman class ig you can start with a magic dao?

— an wenyi looks like a girl from behind. He in general actually looks like a girl who decided on more masculine clothing choices but once he talks everyone does a double take bc he’s actually just a really feminine looking guy

— and I’m only saying this bc I want to recreate that ‘I’m a guy’ scene

— anyways so I might actually write this? But before that we gonna reread cultivation chat group and gather more wisdom and probably steal a cultivation system for this au

[portmanteaurian]

two observations on SMC: 1) I like that the first ending theme song for season III is sung by haruka and michiru’s voice actresses, and is about how their characters are lesbians

2) i still want the sitcom about them and sailor pluto all raising a baby together as super-powered gay students but zack points out this is basically the steven universe high school au

[heavily editing this because it made no sense with the story 🙃 im a little out of practice]

[shoutout to 💜 for catching it and🍩for telling me how to fix it]

...

“We’re sure about this?” Sana frowned, eyes shining. Jihyo had been waiting for someone to bring it up; they’d sat down to have a glass of wine as a little celebration – celebrating themselves, and how they were kinda doing pretty good at the parenting thing lately.

“No, not really.”

“Jeongyeon!” Nayeon whacked her girlfriend on the arm. “You’re supposed to be reassuring!”

“I’m kidding! I’m kidding. Yeah, I think we’re sure. Tzuyu’s almost four, they’re all pretty consistent with the potty training, they follow simple directions well enough. The preschool teacher says they do fine for the few hours they’re there... Technically, they check all the boxes.”

Jihyo nodded. “And when we brought them to meet the teacher, she agreed.”

“We can’t send them to do things because they check the boxes.” Mina said quickly. Jeongyeon raised her eyebrows; she clearly didn’t expect their mostly level-headed Mina to disagree. Jihyo wasn’t shocked. “They need to be emotionally ready.”

“Are they not?” Jeongyeon sat up straighter from her spot on the arm of the couch, putting her wine glass down on the coffee table. “We had this discussion weeks ago and we all agreed pre-k was the next logical step after preschool. Are we backing out the night before?”

“No. I mean, yes – they’re… They’re ready… It’s just nerve-wracking. I mean, we know they do fine where they are now with caretakers they’re very familiar with but bringing them to strangers for an entire eight hour day is…. It’ll be daunting to them. I mean, they don’t even go to preschool every day now, and even there it’s only half days.”

“It’s okay to be nervous.” Jihyo said. “I’m nervous.”

“I just think we need to handle them with a little more… I don’t know. Caution.” Mina was speaking more to her hands than to any of them, now. “They’re each… a special case.”

“Every kid’s a special case.” Jeongyeon said softly.

“Jeongyeon.” Nayeon spoke up. “You know what she means.”

“I don’t, I – they’re kids, their pediatrician says they’re ready. That they’re aging out of the program they’re in. Who knows better than a doctor?”

“We do.” Mina whispered. “We raised them. I don’t mean they’re special, Jeongyeon, I meant they’re…”

“They’re damaged, is what she means.” Nayeon said plainly. “And I think she’s right to be worried. I don’t know how you two aren’t more worried. It’s a huge change.” Jihyo felt a spark of annoyance at the call-out.

“They need to be able to spend a whole day away from us. They need to be able to meet new people and navigate new situations. The preschool they go to now is basically glorified daycare; even their doctor said it - they need to be engaged, to learn, to get comfortable being away from us every day for longer periods of time.” Jihyo raised an eyebrow. “We can’t coddle them forever.”

“True, but they deserve a little more coddling, don’t you think?” Nayeon glared. “They’re barely four and five years old. Tzuyu isn’t even four for another week.”

“And Dahyun should have started pre-k last year, technically, she’s turning 5 soon.” Jihyo fought back. They’d coddled them, they’d provided support; now they needed to know that the real world was out there for them, or some kiddie-fied version of it. They had to be prepared.

“But she wasn’t ready. And we all agreed she wasn’t ready. Can we take a few minutes to sit down and think about whether she’s ready now, whether any of them are?” Nayeon said.

“I think, maybe, we really do need to consider. I know we thought they were. But I just think we really… maybe breezed over how anxiety-inducing this could be for them.”

“Mina,” Momo said softly. Everyone quieted; Momo tended to stay out of these discussions unless she really felt they were going the wrong way. Anyone could see she was a natural with the kids, and her opinion was invaluable – but she wasn’t yet confident enough in herself to see that. Jihyo thought that was a shame; she had an instinct like no other. “I think – and I’ve been thinking about this too, and Sana has too, I know – but I think we’re letting our own nerves get to us. We can’t mistake our fears for… for their fears. I really think they’re ready, they’ll know how to behave without us a whole day. I think it’s going to be a tough first week and we can’t lose sight of that every kid has some trouble on their first week in real school. I think… it’s scary and it’ll be scary for them, but they need to see how stuff like school works so that it won’t be a shock to them when they do finally have to go.” She finished with a small nod. “And they will have to go soon.”

Everyone was quiet for a few seconds. Sana sniffled, and Jihyo watched Jeongyeon slowly slide the girl’s wine glass a little further from her on the end table, out of reach.

“I just don’t want to scare the shit out of Dahyun.” Nayeon said. “I think Chaeyoung will be okay, she doesn’t care much when we leave her with Jeong’s parents. I think Tzuyu will be… grumpy with the situation, and clingy with the stuffed dog, but okay. I don’t want Dahyun to freak out.”

“We’ve talked to them every day, Nay. Explained that tomorrow is their first day of school, that they’ll have a new teacher and we’ll be gone for a few hours longer but we’ll come back and get them in the afternoon and it’s a necessary thing.” Jeongyeon whispered, rubbing Nayeon’s knee.

“And Dahyun gets it.” Jihyo added. “Remember, she’s the oldest by nearly a year. She’s more likely to grasp these things quicker – she’s the most anxious, definitely, but she’s very smart and she trusts us.”

“I don’t want to break that trust. We worked so hard to earn it. From her and Tzuyu.” Sana finally spoke up, too. “What if they think –” But she trailed off. She took a deep breath. “Aren’t you nervous about how both of them will react? We’re just dropping them in a room full of strangers. That’s going to dig up some bad memories.”

“It’s a few hours, and we’ve explained to them-”

“Anxiety doesn’t really listen to explanations, Jeongyeon.” Mina snapped.

“I’m catching that, yes.” Jeongyeon set her jaw. Jihyo’s eyebrows raised, and the girl sighed. “I’m sorry. I know we’re worried, I’m worried too. We’ve been with them every day since they were toddlers. They’ve been at their same preschool for the entirety of the time we knew them. I just think, like Momo said. We can’t confuse our own anxiety and expectations for Dahyun’s, or Tzuyu’s. Or Chaeyoung’s. I know we’re worried, but Mina, think of how much Dahyun loves learning about bugs from you. About science. She loves learning, and this preschool – we put in our research and we found the best place for them. They do little science experiments every day, they’ve got a little ant farm Dahyun was mesmerized with. There’s a guinea pig Tzuyu’s already in love with. I’m certain Tzuyu would pick a fuzzy little pet over us any day. She won’t even realize we’re gone. It’ll be okay.”

“And,” Jihyo looked at Sana. “We’ve made sure the teachers understand what the kids are coming from. You found this school, Sana. You remember why you picked it.”

“They have a counselor on staff.” Sana mumbled. “I know.”

“Right. Which is why we’re paying an arm and a leg for it.” Jeongyeon said. Then paused. She glanced at Mina. “Well… Why Mina is.”

Mina gave a humorless chuckle. “No, we can thank the Myoi’s for that. Except, don’t. Don’t ever mention it.”

“What they don’t know won’t hurt them.” Nayeon shrugged. “And private pre-kindergarten program in the city wouldn’t really hurt their wallet even if they did know that’s what Mina’s ‘rent money’ goes to.”

Mina chewed on her lip.

“Regardless,” Jihyo continued. “Sana, you did an excellent job finding this place. We’ve set them up for success as best as we can. We need to trust them, now. And trust our research.”

“Right.” Momo nodded. “And – I know you guys are nervous. I’m nervous. What if I took off tomorrow? I know you and Jihyo have classes you can’t skip, and Nayeon and Sana and Jeong, you don’t really have many vacation days saved. But I can cancel dance classes tomorrow during the day and be around in case they need us. Would that make it better?”

Mina nodded, and so did Sana.

“So are we okay?” Jeongyeon said.

“No.” Nayeon grumbled as everyone nodded.

“Are we going to put on our big girl pants and face the scary thing, just like we tell our toddlers to daily?” Jeongyeon tilted her head, and Nayeon stuck out her tongue.

“They’ll be okay, guys.” Jihyo assured. “They trust us. We just have to trust us, too.”

[twicearoundthesun]

Hey i have a idea for baby smc

How about the baby’s spend some time with each aunt for a day or a couple of hours

helloooo

I haven't really developed much about Momo's or Jeongyeon's sisters, certainly not enough for like actual fills about them, but i can offer you some headcannons I have:

The babies looove days with Hana, Momo's sister.

Hana is super involved with the arts, so whenever she visits she always has like twenty different art exhibits/events she wants to see around the city. a typical day with Hana for the kids is filled to the brim with outings and fun things to see and do.

She makes sure she finds kid-friendly, age-appropriate ones that she knows they'll actually like - a sculpture garden where the kiddos are allowed to climb, a public art piece on unity where everyone gets to add their thumbprint in colorful paint, an exhibit for a local cartoonist who draws goofy lookin little characters she knows they'll be amused by.

the non-kid-friendly art exhibits she'll bring just Momo along to for some sisterly bonding, btw.

Hana's image is also very cool - she dresses sorta alternative, lots of street fashion, she has tattoos and fun hair cuts and fun hair colors

and of course Hana is a dancer too, her whole life revolves around art

so that being said of COURSE Chaeyoung is absolutely fascinated by her and looks forward to her visits the most. Especially as they get to being teens. Hana is the first adult she comes out to with they/them/she/her pronouns, and Hana is very honored. Chaeyoung also asks for advice on how to come out to the Unnies. Hana is just so supportive.

Hana is of course that Cool Lesbian Aunt that encourages you to cut your hair if you want and wear whatever clothes you want and get tattoos if you want them and will slip you your first beer at christmas.

basically days with Hana are all about art and fun and individuality and life advice if they want it but not if they don't because she isnt going to be that older person that tells them what to do

Jeongyeon has two sisters, Seungyeon and.... a middle sister I'm calling Kyungwon

Seungyeon is like, not great with kids, but very very kind. She'd recently gotten married when Jeong and Nayeon became the babies' guardians, and she and her husband want kids, so she babysat a lot as... well, practice.

A typical day with Seungyeon is very educational. She loves taking them to museums or the zoo and places where they can learn stuff. If Hana's got Chaeyoung in her pocket, Aunt Seung is Dahyuns favorite. Seungyeon doesn't know how she got any of the babies to think she's cool, but Dahyun loves her so much and she’s so happy.

Seungyeon also buys them like a ton of stuff. It's often not really their style but they're very appreciative. She'll often buy designer purses or something for them because that's what she would have wanted at like, fifteen, until Jeong sits her down one day and is like... Listen... All Tzuyu wants is cash, Chaeyoung wants new markers, and Dahyun wants this $60 switch game.... don't buy them expensive stuff they'll never use.

And Kyungwon is like, a total bro. Also a lesbian. Very, very chill.

Days with Kyungwon for baby smc are just, like, hangin out. She's a nurse who works a lot of hours so on her days off she's friggin tired. She doesn't plan these big days like Hana or Seung, but they like being with her because she lets them pick the TV show they watch and cuts up fruits and veggies into fun shapes and makes cookies with them and lets them lick the spoon.

Kyungwon literally never wants kids ever but she does love having her sister's kids to hang out with; theyre cute, they're well-behaved enough, and if someone's throwing a tantrum she can hand them back over to their parents at the end of the day.

Of course, Tzuyu likes how chill the days with Kyungwon are; she's always been a homebody. Kyungwon and her are similarly quiet, pensive.

Kyungwon also probably sees them the most; for a lot of their young life she still lived at her parents house who babysat most often. She's great at knowing what to buy them for birthdays and holidays.

#all tzuyu wants is cash #the unnies are confused on why she wants so much cash ?? #Dahyun and Chaeyoung are both in debt to her in varying degrees #sana is too #she never forgets #anyway hope this is ok #ask #mrpenguin4 #baby smc au #dahyun #chaeyoung #tzuyu

[Baby SMC AU]

Nayeon swayed back and forth slowly, humming a soft and familiar tune as Dahyun fought sleep in her arms. The girl’s cries had quieted significantly since Nayeon and Jeongyeon had both been startled from a deep sleep but she seemed determined to keep going, however tired she may be. They sounded almost half-hearted now; she was determined to express the remnants of her displeasure and Nayeon knew she just needed to let her tire herself out.

“Come on, Dahyun-ah. Let’s go look outside, and see what we find, okay?” She whispered when it was finally quiet enough to hear, though she knew Dahyun wasn’t listening. She crossed the living room to the large window in the kitchen that overlooked the street.

It was, as expected, completely dead out; a quiet night with a full moon shining in the sky. Above the hum of the apartment complex she could just make out the sound of the late-autumn wind rustling the trees, so she popped the window open with one hand to let Dahyun listen, too.

The girl still clung to her, face hidden in her shirt at first, but she dared to peek out when a gust sent the dried leaves clattering down the street. She gave a little sniffle.

“Isn’t it so calm, Dahyun? Late, late at night while the city is sleeping.” She whispered, rubbing her thumb over the girl’s side. Dahyun turned to look at her and Nayeon wiped her tiny little nose with a tissue.

She marveled at life for a second and pressed a kiss to the girl’s temple. Curious eyes shone back at her, no longer filled with tears. “We should be sleeping, too.”

Dahyun gave a small whine, though her puffy eyes were fighting her to close. She felt little hands tangle into her sleep shirt, grabbing at the material.

“I know, baby, you don’t want to sleep.” Nayeon sighed, swaying back and forth again. Dahyun rested her head against Nayeon’s chest. She took a deep breath to keep herself awake. “But the moon is out. See it up there? It’s big tonight. But you know – when the moon is out, Dahyunnie has to rest, right? So you can have energy to run around and play tomorrow. Doesn’t that sound nice?”

Dahyun nodded a little.

“That can only happen if Unnie brings you back to your bed."

Dahyun whined again. A sudden large gust of cold wind flew in through the window, and Nayeon was careful to close the window softly and tuck the blanket tighter around Dahyun, cooing at her. She carried her back over towards the couch and sat down.

“I know. But remember last time? You were up almost all night with Jeong-Unnie and she promised you it’d all be okay if you slept in your bed. And then it was okay, right? And in the morning we got to have so much fun taking Kookeu to the park because you had so much energy. That’s what happens when you sleep in your bed, you get energy!”

“Unnie’s bed has energy too.” She whispered, the first thing she’d said since she’d woken up in tears, confirming Nayeon’s hunch that they were once again fighting a bout of separation anxiety. They’d seen it in each of them, in varying levels of severity - it was to be expected, with so much turmoil in their lives before any of them had even turned four.

“It’s scary sleeping alone, baby, but you’re brave enough to sleep in your bed.” She said softly

“Not brave.” She whispered.

“Yes you are.” Nayeon whispered back. “You’re braver than most kids your age. You know? You do scary stuff every day, you face loud noises and you pet scary dogs and you face all sorts of fears. And you pick up scary bugs. Most kids couldn’t do any of that.”

She seemed to be turning this in her mind.

“And you know Unnie will always be here for you, right?” She whispered, brushing her hair back. “We’re not going anywhere. When we say goodnight to you and tell you we’ll be in the next room, I promise we’re going to be in the next room. I wouldn’t lie to you, none of us would.”

“You promise?”

“I pinky promise, Dahyun-ah.” She offered her hand. Dahyun held up her chubby little pinky and linked it with Nayeon’s. “All right. You ready to go sleep in your bed? We’ll make sure it’s super cozy. And in the morning I’ll make you special pancakes, but only if you stay in bed all night.”

Dahyun gave a small nod, thumb slipping back past her lips in worry. Nayeon carried her back to bed, careful not to wake the two other kiddos sleeping in their beds as she set her gently down. She double-checked the night light and tucked the blankets up to her chin, folded in half to keep her warm and provide a little bit of pressure.

“We’re brave, right baby?” She whispered.

“Brave.” She nodded.

“Alright. Goodnight, Dahyun-ah, I’ll be right in the next room. I’ll see you in the morning.”

“G’night Unnie.” She whispered. Nayeon made sure to slip out as the girl’s eyes drooped so it wouldn’t be a surprise for her to be gone when she opened them again.

She took a deep breath and crawled into her own bed, giving a little chuckle at her hypocrisy as she pulled Jeongyeon’s arms around her. She barely woke up, kissed the back of Nayeon’s neck, and settled back into a deep sleep.

[twicearoundthesun]

I know you mentioned onceish that Samo wanted kids in the SMC!AU (not that SMC aren't already their babies), but I was wondering how you think SMC would react when they did decide to have them, as well as any of the other unnies. Ecspecially if Najeong decided to have a baby considering they're probably the closest to being their parents.

Tbh, I'm not sure if any of them have kids after SMC grows up... by the time the Unnies are like 30, SMC is only like 11, and it seems difficult and expensive to have three 11-year-olds and a baby in the same house. They've got their hands full and their twenties were such a wild ride they might want to like, relax a little in their thirties (as much as you can with a bunch of moody teenagers living in your home). I think 2yeon especially are tired and wouldn't, and I don't think Mina ever wanted kids. Jihyo's just kinda seeing where life goes at this point.

Samo considers it I think, at multiple points when everything is calm and when they both have stable jobs. I think they even casually mention to the others that they're considering it, sorta hesitantly because having a newborn would mean less time/money to help with SMC, and NaJeongJiMi assure them that they'll always support them and they would love their little niece or nephew with all their hearts.

If Samo does have a kid, let's say an au of this au, I think it'd probably be when SMC is in late high school and they'd all react fairly positively. Chaeyoung might say 'ew' upon Sana announcing it (but she'd be happy for them, and love the kid infinitely), and i think Dahyun would treat Sana a bit like she's made of glass until the baby is born (after which she treats the baby like it's made of glass). Tzuyu would actually be super excited to have a little baby sibling on the way. They'd all be happy to babysit, and Tzuyu would be the best at it. Everyone would be enamored with the tiny little Sana/Momo. SMC would react the same I think with 2yeon, or any of the unnies.

I can't decide if i want Samo to have a kid, so probably won't mention the potential kid in a fill. That being said, you can imagine it however you want 🤷‍♂️ we encourage imagination here!

#i often have my own little mental spin-offs and alternate timelines of my aus/stories #my other au of an au thought is Samo having an Accident Baby when the kiddos are like five #and the unnies being like..... really guys #but theyd be supportive and itd be cute #anyway #i hope this answers and wasnt boring #baby smc au #anon #ask #thank you!
