lark's underrated byler fic recs
i went through my bookmarks to find the gems in this fandom that need more appreciation! let's uplift our community--pls check out these fabulous fics & give the authors some love!! 💕
beneath these boughs, my devotion blooms by @perexcri (T, 1/1, 11k) - drop whatever ur doing and read this fic RIGHT NOW. i'm not joking when i say it's one of the most transformative works of the 21st century. gorgeous, heart-wrenching prose & characterization. god!will & devotee!mike--except this fic turns that entire concept on its head. this fic killed me dead. you won't regret it.
Last true mouthpiece by @miwism (G, 1/1, 2k) - in which will and hawkins are one and the same. this fic opened up my eyes to a take on will-has-powers that i had never before considered but i have not stopped thinking about since i read it. i need more of eldritch will byers in this fandom & everybody should read this fic
don't leave me here alone by @strangeswift (NR, 1/1, 3.4k) - ok this one is EVIL. this one is GOOD. essentially: mike tries to convince will to run away with him to keep will safe from vecna, but will might not be the one who needs protecting... i am a sucker for some s5-speculative angst and this fic DEFINITELY delivers!
all I know is pouring rain (and everything has changed) by @willelfanpage (T, 1/1, 3.2k) - a character study of will, particularly in relation to life moments he has in the rain. ugh, will byers my love will byers my light... this fic is so gorgeous and so beautifully done, i think everyone should check it out! i love the canon moments mixed in with non-canon ones.
take me to the lakes by @afterglowsssss (T, 1/1, 2.1k) - FANTASY BYLER EVERYONE CHEERED!!! prince will x knight mike is something that can legitimately be so personal, you guys. they have so much love and affection for one another that i'm literally throwing up (/pos). cleradin's been getting a lot of love lately and i am enjoying it but u guys need to hype this one UPPPP!!
come to me again (in the cold, cold night) by @perexcri (M, 3/3, 16k) - i've been on a vampire kick lately and this is the fic that started it for me. featuring: estranged byler, vampires, dystopia, angst, reunions, and CONSISTENTLY BANGER prose. would not expect any less from a perexcri fic. this one is a little creepy and dark and is absolutely gripping the entire way through.
there will come a poet (whose weapon is his word) by @fizzseed (T, 1/1, 3.2k) - fics that include mike as a writer are always some of my favs. and when he writes for WILL??? ahhhh my heart!! he's just so sweet and dedicated and this fic is just SUCH a gem. i think byler's relationship with each other when it comes to D&D (separate from cleradin AUs) is so interesting and i'm so glad this fic explored it!!
Every eye trained on a different star by @ohfallingdisco (G, 1/1, 2.9k) - ok so just thinking ab this fic as i'm typing this is literally making me tear up. in short: will comes out to bob. why don't we have more fics like this in this fandom??? will byers & bob newby my beloveds. r u kidding MEEEEEEE. like WHAT. all y'all take NOTES bc i want more of this shit

hii!! just coming over from reading your genshin men as wedding dates pt 1&2 and OHMYGOD THAT WAS AMAZING😍i haven’t been this hooked on a fanfic in years🤩🤩🤩🤩please keep writing more amazing things like these🥰
oh and if you’re taking requests - genshin men (as many or as few as you want, i leave the character limit upto you) + pov: you like to leave little sticky note messages on the fridge for bae when he wakes up bc you need to leave super early for work, but one day you forget and….
💜much love to you and def hit the follow button so i can see more of your work!! if you have a tagslist please include me!💜
Aw thank you so much! I don’t have a taglist atm but I’ll be sure to add you if I ever make one in the future! And ty for sending in a request, this is such a cute, wholesome prompt 🫶
genshin men when you forget to leave a daily message
Featuring— diluc, childe, zhongli
gn!reader, modern au, established relationships
Tumblr media
DILUC
as a big ceo, your boyfriend diluc travels a lot. it’s just unfortunate that the one morning he gets to sleep in, you had to go into work extra early
he might not always be home for your sticky note messages, but he sure loves reading them when he is. so needless to say he’s a little disappointed since your fun little messages always leave a small smile on his face
so he decides to do the same for you as a little surprise when you get home
except he leaves little notes everywhere
just to name a few…. on the tray where you leave your keys: ‘welcome home! i’ve missed you’ ; on your vanity mirror: ‘you are so beautiful’ ; on the refrigerator: ‘let’s go out for dinner tonight?’
his messages aren’t as fun or witty as yours but it’s the thought that counts and wait… on the shoe rack: ‘you’ve been running through my mind all day’
ok fine he asked kaeya for help on that last one; he swore it’d make you laugh (it did!)
CHILDE
he loves loves loves the little messages you write to him each morning; they're like his little daily motivators from you! and since you always stick it on the fridge, he just ends up taking it with him for the day as a good luck charm
so…he’s got a theory now because the one day you forget to leave a note for him…boom. worst day ever
nothing is going right. his luck could not get any worse today. like did scaramouche seriously just quit? and now he has to finish both their work by the end of the day? ugh that’s just as frustrating as the embarrassingly huge coffee stain on his shirt
at least in this case, causation does equal correlation
he’s super pouty and whiny and clingy when he gets home. basically tackles you, hugging you from behind while he’s soaking wet because of course it started randomly raining on his way home
“you’re my good luck charm y/n” and then proceeds to explain to you all of ajax’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
now you owe him lots of kisses and cuddles and two sticky note messages tomorrow (his terms)
ZHONGLI
he’s emotionally mature, he totally understands
but what he DOES worry about is whether in your rush to get to work, did you eat breakfast? did you forget anything? did you bring lunch?
luckily for you his only consultation appointment today isn’t until the afternoon so he is definitely preparing you lunch. and when he’s got the time…boy can this man cook (it’s canon hoyoverse told me themselves)
he knows your schedule like the back of his hand. the front desk calls right before your break to let you know someone’s here for you and surprise it’s zhongli dropping off homemade lunch
give him a big kiss on the cheek and he’ll be all ☺️
you open the pack and on top of your lunchbox is a sticky note: ‘Hope you’re egg-cited for lunch today, I made your favorite. See you at home, darling : )’

Ok making this as a new post bc I adjusted a couple of minor things on these. In the order I drew them in, heres the great p5u au design post finalized after working on these on and off for like 5 months
This is my own personal interpretations but is also somewhat speculative in nature. I'm mostly trying to use already established characterizations and arena epilogue set ups as a branching off point but there might be stuff I've missed or forgotten (i also haven't played dancing yet sorry if there's something in there I hadn't accounted for). This is kind of like if I took the creative reigns on the story where I'd continue with it. Only the investigation team for now but maybe I'll do the shadow ops at some point.
Yu Narukami
Tumblr media
He's currently either attending school as a journalism student in the city or just starting out as one. Enthusiastic about his field but still tries to find the time to keep up with his friends and visit Inaba when he's free. I felt journalism made alot of sense for him with the themes of persona 4. I liked the sport jacket and turtleneck but wanted something different so the scarf was chosen to keep the same kind of silhouette. I made the collar on the winter coat large and I feel like Narukami's large uniform collar is a key part of his design. and I wanted to call back to that in his casual outfit. The summer outfit I kept close to his summer outfit from p4. I mostly wanted to keep his outfits smart and simple. For his meta verse outfit I really wanted to go all out with the bancho (kingpin) stuff and other delinquent tropes. I lengthened the uniform coat a little because I wanted it to look like a tokko-fuku. Alot of smaller detail inspiration was taken from Izanagi. The lenses in the mask are supposed to mimic glasses. I'd imagine he'd take off the mask the same way he throws off his glasses at the end of P4.
Teddie
Tumblr media
I can't imagine him leaving Inaba and the TV world behind. Still staying in Inaba and working largely the same job. He's got his own place now albeit small (still a step up from the closet though). At some point the IT asked Mitsuru to pull some strings so he actually has a legal personhood now. The animal hoodie is something that came to me spontaneously but I knew I needed to include it. I really that his normal outfit in 4 keeps the white and red of the bear costume in the outfit so I tried to keep the colour scheme here too. Most of his later outfits are less flashy and more casual so I tried to continue that trend. I didn't want to lose the rose from the corsage completely so I included a rose pattern in the second shirt. Alot of his outfits feature light blue so I wanted to feature that. (I considered making the hoodie light blue initially) I don't think he'd have a metaverse outfit he'd just use the bear costume.
Naoto Shirogane
Tumblr media
I'm under the assumption Naoto is still presenting masculinely to the general public as of p5 but I may be mistaken. (If I'm wrong I'd still probably largely keep the outfits largely similar to this.) Naoto's still working as a detective and I don't think that's ever really going to change. One thing that a hypothetical p5u would have to address is what Naoto and the shadow ops would have been doing during the events of persona 5 but I haven't worked that out yet
I feel alot of the appeal of Naoto's design is the kind of boy detective fashion. I went at this design with the intention of kind of refining that into something a little more adult while still keeping in a similar vein. I did have to ditch the pageboy hat unfortunately as I felt it made them look too young. These outfits were kind of designed as pseudo work clothes which is why I tried to make them a bit more formal. Something I consider notable about Naoto's design that I deliberately avoided here was the rolled up pant legs. It's very obvious in 4 it's done because Naoto is short but I feel like Naoto would start getting that either custom made or tailored to fit. I was initially going to forgo the blazer on the summer outfit but the design felt empty without it. Naoto having a noir detective themed metaverse outfit is an idea I'd had for years but I tried to incorporate design elements that were princely. I alot of the inspiration was from Sam Spade specifically. Deliberately made similarities to Akechi's white crow design. The band around the hat is supposed to invoke the similar one on the old page boy hat.
Yukiko Amagi
Tumblr media
Still working at her families in but is taking online schooling during the less busy seasons. She's mostly happy where she is but is keeping her options open. Occasionally makes visits to other ryokans out of town for ideas for her families own inn, as well as an opportunity to for her to sight-see.
The headband was included in her design in p4 as a like retro design thing but I find it too important of a marker of her design to remove it. I understand the why they went with the hairstyle they did for her golden epilogue but I feel it just ends up making her look way older then she is. I thought her having her hair up would be a nice change since she does it so rarely and settled on a ponytail. Tried changing the bangs but the ones she already had just felt right. I wanted her clothes to carry this kind of air of sophistication so I tried to keep them relatively simple and sleek. She's wearing pants in the winter outfit but I chose the longer coat to keep a similar skirt silhouette. The choker was largely inspired by the scarf she has in her winter outfit. Despite being a different colour the cardigan was also chosen to tie back somewhat to the sweater she wears with her school uniform.
In some side material it's mentioned that Yukiko has an interest in western fashion and aesthetics (part of what made the castle manifest the way it did) and I wanted to lean on that in some way for her metaverse design. I ended up going with a masquerade ball theme. I tried to keep the dress to something simple and easy to move in. The gloves and boots take inspiration from her persona in terms of design and size. I wanted to incorporate elements from her work kimono as well hence the ribbon around the torso and flower patterning. Probably the most unsure of this one of the metaverse designs so far. Especially the colours (considered making the reds pinks initially). Might revisit this one.
Rise Kujikawa
Tumblr media
Canonically still making music as an idol as of p5. She thankfully has a little more time to herself now then she did at the height of her popularity but shes still enjoying herself and her career.
I really liked her epilogue design having her hair down because it feels alot more relaxed. I feel she probably stop wearing the pigtails as regularly outside of work as time goes on. I went for a more casual relaxed style for her in for her general casual wear, but I still wanted a kind of cute vibe.
Wanted her to have two metaverse outfits mostly because I wanted her to have this little magical girl transformation thing when she fights. But I also think it kind of emphasizes her thing in arena with Himiko about having different sides of herself. Tried to keep them visually similar. General coloursheme of these were inspired by the album cover she has in p5 bc I really liked the kind of more mature vibe to it then weve been shown with her previous idol stuff.
Himiko kind of has this like emphasis on a lack of mobility with the mermaid dress so I ended up using this with Rise as well bc I thought it would be fitting for a navigator. I based the battle outfit mostly on her idol oufits from the anime and DaN. I was really unsure the direction to go with for the mask but I wanted it to be two-toned to emphasize the multiple faces thing again and I like what I ended up with.
Yosuke Hanamura
Tumblr media
Studying in the city and struggling to juggle college and a part time job. I'm unsure on what he'd major in but he's paying his own way through college. He's working at either a Junes branch or a Triple Seven or something. I think he's rooming with someone in a rented apartment currently (either Narukami or someone outside the IT. Leaning towards the latter)
I'm trying to go for outfits that are like flashy but still pretty casual and I think I did an alright job. Darker colour pallete in his outfits here then the p4 ones but I think it works. The headphones being wireless was an immediate obvious design choice I thought of as a way to show the difference in time period (sounds weird to talk about it like that since its like 5 years difference but it is what it is/)
I went for this kind of tropey ninja/super hero thing with his metaverse outfit. The primarily black colour was something I also chose for this reason. The tools on the belt are also kind of typical in this regard. The headphones were something I felt was integral to his design so I had to include them. Charge suggested the googles as a mask idea and I think it works really well.
Kanji Tatsumi
Tumblr media
Continuing the family business as well as expanding to sell his work online. Generally doing fairly well for himself, rightfully confident in his work. I feel like he's probably tried out a few things when it comes to his personal style before settling where he is now. Has gone back and forth quite a few times on his hair but eventually decided on keeping in black.
Going to be honest I sketched this out after Naoto's but ended up psyching myself out of working on it for a while. Anyway I went at this with this kind of idea of trying to like soften the though guy aspect of Kanji's appearance without losing them. I did try out a couple of other hairstyles but I couldn't come up with something else that felt right.
The Metaverse Design was initially going to have more samurai inspiration but it ended up only coming through with the mask in the end. Deliberately harkening back to his initial design with this but I feel like it's warrented because Kanji's fashion in 4 is as much a facade to keep people away as it is just his own personal taste.
Chie Satonaka
Tumblr media
Still pursuing police work around the Yasoinaba area. I think all the IT are signed on with the Shadow Operatives in case of emergency but Chie is more actively involved with the Operatives then the rest of the IT as she actively asks and tries to be. Still talks to Akihiko fairly regularly as well (mostly exchanging texts).
Generally with her everyday outfits I mostly wanted to keep it sporty but relaxed. Deliberately made these a little less overtly feminine then her p4 outfits because I feel like she'd grow more confident in herself not being as feminine as her peers. Tried to keep an article of clothing the same between the two of these outfits to call back to the jersey she was wearing in 4. I considered having her not continue to dye her hair but I didn't feel like Chie once I changed her hair colour so it gets to stay the same.
Her metaverse outfit takes inspiration from kung fu uniforms, particularly the pants. The chest plate is styled after a hotoke dou albeit shortened. Charge also came up with the mask for this one; a blindfold to invoke the idea of a uber competent blinded martial artist, the fabric here is sheer though. The shoes on this design are not necessarily finalized as they are not technically part of the outfit. They are her weapons and would change as such like in the rpg.
Ok that's all for now. Glad to finally have this done

Your au really does make a difference for me. Not just your au actually. All your art. It makes me happy because it’s beautiful and unique and it connects to me in so many ways. And it manages to make me feel better about myself in new ways I didn’t know it could ALL the time. Like today it was something as small and unnoteworthy as your April design having long armpit hair, bc I’m always getting shit for that even tho it makes me feel more comfortable and just seeing that in a Butch woman’s character design. I don’t know, it makes me feel fluttery and shit. So thanks for that 🫂
YOOO I HAVE LONG ARMPIT HAIR TOO :D AND MY FAMILY GAVE ME A TON OF SHIT ABOUT IT TOO (i mean that and refusing to wear a shirt inside our house in 90 degree weather lol) aAAaAAAA!!!
I am so glad that my love of conventionally maligned features has spread to you! I've always had affection for the monstrous (and i use that word in a wholly positive meaning) body and it's spread to features most people consider unattractive and ugly. partially because I AM monstrous, partially because I politically and morally believe it's important to include, and partially because I would just be so unbelievably bored with the homogeneous standard of beauty most people tend to like.
and a dozen other reasons lmao. including a belief that disgust and adoration are closely linked but THIS ISN'T MY PERSONAL- unless...
NO BUT LIKE WHEN I DESIGN CHARACTERS I TRY TO THINK TO MYSELF, like, what haven't I seen enough of? What would I like to see more? like its my art I can literally draw whatever i want!! aaaAA sorry i'm rambling, I hope I haven't offended you with all this babbling about monstrosity or anything. I get so overwhelmed when I remember the way I feel when I'm presented with something beautiful and thats kind of how i feel about butch women. Like I'm stopped in my tracks.
I'm not religious but sometimes I remember the way I watched nature documentaries growing up and I remember the way I would hold my breath and feel my chest tingle with wonder, like, how BEAUTIFUL. How WONDERFUL that something I could never have imagined exists in the same world as I do?? That's like how I feel with butch women. so called "ugly" people, people who decide to just EXIST even fully aware that they'll get shit about it. how beautiful. how exquisite. one day I want to be just like them.
OK IM BEING WEIRD AGAIN SORRY

so you’re into gregstophe now and looking for good fics: a rec list by me, local gregstophe brainrot bastard
As might be obvious, I adore Gregstophe and I really want to get more of the SP fandom into them. But if you’ve already read my big fic Just Business (or even if you haven’t) you might be wondering: which Gregstophe fics should I read if I want to really get into this pairing? They may not be the rarest pair in South Park shipping, but finding good fics wherein they are the main pairing can be hard. Well, I’ve reread all of my old favorites from ff dot net recently and I’ve spent a lot of time going through the ao3 tag to now present you with…
THE Gregstophe fic rec list of all time (according to me)
A quick note: for a fic to be on this list, it means it is 1) completed, 2) in English, 3) Gregstophe-centric (i.e. they’re the main pairing), and 4) particularly impactful. There’s a bunch of incompletes I could recommend (such as Just Try to Remember and Moonheart13′s various AU fics), a bunch not in English so I can’t read them, quite a few that merely feature Gregstophe (Lex Talionis comes to mind), and many fics that I do truly like but can’t quite bring myself to seriously recommend because they’re too short or too tropey or too much porn not enough plot. Also, only fics on ao3 or ffn were considered and I didn’t include any OT3 fics (such as gregstophlovski ones). With these qualifications out of the way, let’s get onto the list!
Petroica traversi/effingbirds: so this isn’t an actual fic so much as an author but I consider her Gregstophe content to ALL be top tier. Both of her long form Gregstophe-centric pieces (The Fight and The Well and the Lighthouse) are wonderfully told. My favorites from her one-shots are Ocean of Noise and Ready to Start. Her characterizations of the two boys are some of my favorites, really emphasizing their complicated devotion to one another.
A Stupid High School Tradition Called Prom: This is such a classic fic to me. I read it years ago on ffn but it’s since been ported over to ao3. I personally find Christophe’s written accent to be a bit much (coming from someone who does enjoy writing and reading his accent) but I encourage you to give it shot even if you don’t like that. If you want fluffy Gregstophe (which is rare!), this is the perfect fic. It centers around Christophe being a dick (affectionately) and Gregory being frustrated with him (also affectionately) all while they play at being normal teens for once in their goddamn lives.
Bereaved of Light: If you’re into Gregstophe simply for that good good Angst that comes with being mercenaries, THIS is the fic for you. There isn’t a happy ending but sometimes you’re looking to get emotionally destroyed and that’s alright! Maybe you WANT to simply read about men being full of regret and love while dying. Valid. Read this fic.
Three Years of Gregstophe: Ok this is technically 3 different one-shots but they’re all very good! I really like the headcanon of Gregory going into the government but still doing mercenary business on the down-low via Christophe. That’s kind of the main link between each chapter, as well as Gregory being VERY oblivious about Christophe’s feelings towards him. And his own feelings towards Christophe in the final one shot.
97 Safety First: Gregory playing nurse/doctor to Christophe after missions is a very classic and vital Gregstophe trope. I think this fic handles it very well, along with having some wonderfully done dialogue. Snappy dialogue between Gregory and Christophe is my favorite and very in character for the two of them. Gregory is so insistent about caring and Christophe is so insistent that he isn’t worth caring about… one of my favorite topics to explore in their dynamic.
2am: Following along similar lines of “Gregory cares for Christophe after a mission”, we’ve got this fic! I may be a little biased bc Saturnpanther and I have talked at length about Gregory and Christophe and our characterizations of them are pretty similar. As such, I really love all of her fics but this one is just so classically them it had to be on here. It’s really all about the subtleties, hard to break habits, hesitancy… all that good angst.
Delayed: Yes, this is yet another “Gregory waits up for Christophe” one-shot... what can I say? It’s a classic!! That’s all!! Gregory being a nervous wreck about Christophe’s well being but trying so hard to stay calm and professional will always get to me. Plus, this particular fic has Kyle and Kenny mentioned! That’s another thing you may find a lot of within the Gregstophe fandom, stories with Kyle being a tech whiz and sometimes Kenny too being explosion fodder. The Kyle is more common, as is the ship Gregstophlovski, though that’s not in this fic. Mostly just a fun factoid.
Roses Ought to Covet Honesty: If you’re a sucker for Gregory “i did cotillion as a child” of Yardale and Christophe “fuck god, eat the rich” DeLorne, you’ll like this piece. It’s mostly Christophe being grumpy about being placed in high society while Gregory is very comfy with it… but also Christophe loves Gregory so he puts up with it. I personally really enjoy that characterization of them and I think this little one shot does a good job exploring their dynamic. Also it’s from Christophe’s perspective, which is surprisingly rare within Gregstophe fics.
Crooked: Speaking of the rarity of Christophe POV fics… there’s this fic! Very short but I think it does a great job capturing Christophe’s self loathing and doubt. His Catholic upbringing paired with his seemingly very religious mother makes his character ripe for ✨Catholic Guilt Angst✨. With how perfect Gregory likes to conduct himself, they make for quite the contrast. And Christophe really needs the pillar that is Gregory’s love to convince himself he’s worthy sometimes.
catching up: There’s a lot of Gregstophe fics out there about them having some sort of falling out, or one of them simply disappearing for years, only to suddenly come back into one another’s lives. This particular fic is one of the fluffier version of this trope and I think it’s very sweet. It doesn’t get super into their relationship, but it still does a good job with how short it is.
leave america, two kids follow her, i don’t want to talk about who’s doing it first: By the same author as the previous fic, this one has just slightly more angst but ends on a very sweet note! If you’re curious for a short peek into Gregstophe but in college, this is great for that. Even when trying to live normal lives, they face some struggles. This fic also has a really nice interaction between Christophe and Kyle as friends, which is always a super fun bonus in my opinion.
Puppy Love: I feel like there’s not enough exploration of Gregory and Christophe’s childhood friendship. They can know one another beyond mercenary/revolutionary work! This fic does a great job touching on that. It’s sort of a series of scenes of them growing up together and the slow development of a crush. Also, a heavy emphasis on Gregory being a revolutionary and Christophe just being along for the ride that is Gregory.
Gregstophe Week Entries.: Another series of one-shots rather than a whole story, but they’re all very good! Maybe I’m a sucker for happy endings and nice things, but I really like Day 4 and Day 7 the best. However, all of these are really just kind of a study into their relationship in different aspects, which is why I like them. It also makes me want to maybe do another Gregstophe week... 👀
Adrenaline: This fic is VERY short but still packs quite a punch. If you’re a fan of the more cold/calculating sort of Gregory, or possessive Gregory, I think you’ll like this one. I wish the author expanded a little more on the few things hinted at, but that last line of Christophe showing his true feelings and emotions, just a little bit, really does it for me.
When Tomorrow Comes: Gregory waiting on a hurt Christophe is very common, but this fic turns it on its head with Gregory being the one hurt! I’m a bit sorry to reveal that, because while it’s not quite a twist, it’s still not totally obvious that Gregory is hurt in the beginning. I think this fic in particular does a good job with balancing Christophe’s devotion, frustration, projecting of internal doubts, and soft side.
Cigarette Daydreams: By the same author as the previous fic, this one does a really wonderful job capturing their dynamic. There’s a lot of trauma they both need to unpack (mostly Gregory’s in this case), but there’s also a lot of love and tender fluffy moments. Plus, it’s always good to see someone who understands that Christophe is witty and a jokester.
Bath Time: A fic a little on the NSFW side, but containing the very classic trope of “My God, Christophe is filthy and must be forced to bathe” (with a hint of “Gregory is wealthy and bossy”). While there can definitely be a lot of tenderness in Gregory making Christophe take a bath (such as in 2am), there can also be fights! And sometimes fights are very fun, especially when it comes to these two. Christophe’s accent in this is a bit much but sometimes that’s just how things are.
The Rush: If you’re looking for the perfect mix of smut and story in one little fic, I wholeheartedly recommend this! The ticking clock incorporated in the first half provides a great sense of tension. It’s also one of the fics where Christophe and Gregory’s mercenary sides really shine and feel realistic. Even if you’re not into smut, you can just read up until the point where things get NSFW and still get an incredible short story!
Smoke: I think I really like this one because it reminds me of a somber version of my favorite Clybe one-shot. There’s just really something to be said about two characters coming together and having complicated emotions about a dead mother. Plus I love that Gregory is able to see through Christophe’s emotional walls.
Good Dog: Ok, I know I said that I’d only include finished works on this list but... there’s so few finished long form Gregstophe fics out there?? It’s kind of sad, actually. I pronounce this one finished enough, in the sense that the last chapter has them (basically) getting together. It’s also a darker fic, with Gregory being more on the controlling sadistic side and Christophe being rather emotionally broken. However, I think it’s got wonderful prose, good exploration of character, and a good bit of intrigue. You may be sad that the plot of the job itself doesn’t wrap up, but let’s be honest— it’s never actually about the job when it comes to these two.

@bandousama replied to your post:
hi and ty for the questions about my silly little au! i love making ideas about it here and even getting some inputs from you guys! putting this under the cut since my response ended up being lengthy. pls feel free to ask any more questions or share your own thoughts!
Is this going to be a story?
I really do want to write this out, but unfortunately i dont really have any writing skills 🫤 it took me a while to draft out these few paragraphs that were meant to be a synopsis/prologue. maybe someday i’ll come around to write quick drabbles?? but if i have any writers following me, i’d be happy to commission this fic!
Will there be any drama between y/n and Shouhei? Like including a fight scene or something?
Even if this never gets written, i do imagine this au to have a lot of drama and the relationship between shouhei and y/n to become toxic (it’s inevitable; he’s a rockstar and she’s a model. there will be drug use and morals will be compromised to achieve fame). Both of them are also not in the right headspace in some parts of the story, with shouhei spiraling as he tries to make his own identity as a soloist, and y/n trying to make it alive in a cutthroat industry through any means possible.
In the synopsis, Shouhei is immediately reminded of those little ballerina figurines when he first sees y/n (y’k, the little docile ones that seems so fragile and is always locked away when the box is not being used). he gets infatuated and soon idealizes her as this pretty doll that he has to lock her away protect from this soul-sucking industry, purposely ignoring the fact that y/n is a complex person with her own flaws and bad decisions.
*spoiler alert* y/n has a bf when she meets shouhei, who she ends up cheating on with him
Is the rock band mainly about the abc boys or all of hrm?
All of hmr are featured, but i think I would focus more on the abc boys since im more interested in them
Is this a story just about Shouhei or all the other guys getting their own as well?
It’s primarily about shouhei, but the other guys also have their own unresolved issues and relationships to work out, which will def be mentioned bc i want to give all of the boys extra depth and characterization. i think i can see chitose being the secondary abc boy in this particular fic, since he’s the one in the worst condition out of the boys, and bc i lowkey might make shouhei and chitose have a closer friendship in this fic. basically a friendship where they get fucked up together and make even more bad decisions. but if i really were to write this out, i’d want each boys to have their own spin off.
What inspired you to think of this au?
its funny cause i was reading this fic in another fandom where person A is this fashion critic who attends a show where person B is modeling and they’re both immediately attracted to each other, when i was like ok but imagine shouhei in this au?? But i can’t see shouhei as some fashion critic, which is when I remember that i have this other au where the boys are like this popular rock band (used to be pop idol group when i first thought of this au), and that fits more since celebrities visit fashion shows (also guys, please ask me about this au too cause i have lot of thoughts about rockstars!hmr and the pop idol girl group thats their competition in terms of international popularity). only difference is that fic did not feature any toxic dynamics lol. also! the whole idea about hmr taking a break as a group, the members pursuing solo endeavors during the break, and shouhei making a lot of noise by being the first member to attend a high fashion event is based off the first few months of bts’ hiatus last year lmaoooo
Since Shouhei is the lead vocalist what do the other band members do?
I actually haven’t thought much of that, esp since hmr is too huge to be one band. so what i was thinking that maybe theyre all split up in different acts under the same company: mikoto originally being a solo rock artist before calling it quits because he couldnt handle the fame. he eventually forms his own small company that aligns better with his values. we have totsuka as the dreamy soloist who sings romantic ballads and wins the nation’s heart, yata and kamamoto being a hip-hop duo with lots of break dances, the abc boys being a rock band, and kusanagi being the manager who keeps everyone in check (look idk if this actually works out like this irl but canon has mikoto having an ample amount of money in savings and kusanagi owning tons of restaurants overseas so 🤷‍♀️)
with the abc boys, shouhei is the lead vocalist, chitose and dewa play the guitars, eric and fuji plays the bass with eric serving back up vocals, and bandou plays the drums.

Edward Otto Night Guard Variants (FNaF/OC AU)
Tumblr media
(Before anyone gets mad, no, I did not replace my son. This is an AU and also Crying Child is still Bite Victim in '83, so don't worry. I gave the Nightmares lore that I won't be explaining right now)
Ok... so. IDK if any of you have seen the FNaF 1 song animation I did back in like September, but it featured an AU of mine (because I can't stop making AUs about my OCs, and have had this problem for years)  where my fusion OCs take the place of the animatronics. Originally, the canon humans would stay the same, but I ended up modifying that so that the main plot is mostly the same (and based on simplified theories) but my human OCs get to be nightguards, and maybe someone can be part of the police, I haven't thought that far ahead yet. 
Well, considering Edward is one of my personal favorite OCs (yes I play favorites, you can tell by who suffers most) I had to give him a major role. Anyone remember how the original interpretation for FNaF 4 was the Bite of '87 victim's nightmares before people started noticing it was '83? Well, I wanted to expand on that, I guess. To make this just a little more confusing then it needs to be, FNaF 4 comes first, followed by 1, then 2, then 3. Now, this is a little weird because the nightguard in the 1 location gets stuffed into one of the withered animatronics, but the guard in 2 sees him as he gets bit. 
Right. So you know how the common theory is that Mangle bites the 2 guard after he switches shifts? Well, I have my Mangle parallel bite this totally random guy, who then gets put into the coma in 4, who wakes up and becomes the 2 guard so he can investigate all the weird stuff he can see now that he spent a week fighting his way out of the ghost realm. Confusing? Good. The Post-Pizzearia ver. is just to show what he looks like after surviving, though I don't think he's actually relevant there. Low key proud I can actually make an old man look old now
And of course, Edward Otto, who was already slipping his sanity in vanilla, gets to be our bitten guard :)
Oh, Crying Child is still the first bite victim, but I may or may not having given the Nightmares their own lore bc 4 is my favorite and also I wanted to. This means that the 4 coma is actually a phenomenon that has been experienced by more then one bite victim, but I won't be explaining that just now
Also being assigned Edgar Allen Poe for school (including Fall of the House of Usher) and having FNaF 4 being my favorite game in the series had produced an interesting effect. But I'll wait to show you that ;)

the aub
e Lekismon
Tumblr media
yes, this is the thing that i ACTUALLY wanted to draw when i drew the loading screen-looking thingy
just some OMORI x Digimon AU stuff that probably won't be in the actual story that i planned for it
catering to my own interests is much harder than i thought...
also the bg is has the same source as the loading screen one; it's from the game, but i REALLY edited the colors to make it more... er, Digital World-y

My #1 post of 2022
ok folks and frops and funky lil' aliens
remember the Aura Fusion Generator that i've mentioned a few times back?
it's still not done, but i AM starting to let you apply for the generator's Alpha release!
this is because it might take a BIT longer to make a final, more improved version of it since i am still a coding amateur
although there ARE some features that are unique to the Alpha version of the generator (even a giveaway of some files to help you out!), as well as... maybe a contest that i'll announce here on tumblr after i release it?? idk
so to apply, please reply (not ask, not reblog even tho those are needed for spreading the word) here with your answer to this question: "If you got an AuraStone, what would your Aura Fusion/Pure Aura be based on your own vibes?" it can contain 1-3 Auras, with 2 being the most common, 3 being less common, and 1 being the rarest
oh, and the Elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Nature (plants), Life (flesh and organs), Metal, Electric, Light, Dark, Null (the soul and senses), and Chaos (randomness and everything else)!

Noir (JJK x Reader) 🥀💜🔞☁️
Tumblr media
🍷 Pairing: Vampire!Jungkook x Reader
🍷 Genre: Vampire!AU, established relationship, fluff/romance, angst, Smut
🍷 Warnings: oh boy, blood, like Jesus there’s a lot, bad puns, lowkey Daddy!JK x Little!Reader, I’m sorry my hand slipped okay, fainting, cursing, angst, yes it’s resulting angst from the fainting ok, you get the point, Buff Jungkook, gentle buff boi tho, messy sex, unprotected bc JK is basically dead meat walking ok, scratching, biting, rough sex, it’s pretty hard this time, know your limits kids, sweet sweet aftercare though, reader is short in height, oral (fem. Rec.), slight primal themes
🍷 Summary: Gone are the days of hiding, when science finally brings to light that yes, vampires exist. Now, three hundred years later, they’re a part of society; simply blending in without trying hard. But some can’t help but have a snack the old fashioned way.
Tumblr media
• Vampirism : (in This AU) is a genetic defect caused by infection (from a bite due to a specific bacteria present in infected people, this is however, very rare) or is present since birth, in which the body is unable to properly produce certain vital enzymes and proteins in blood, which requires the intake of human blood of a specific type, either by orally consuming or injection. Side effects of this disorder include, but are not limited to: sensitivity to sunlight, fair skin, discoloring of the iris, lack of or slowed down aging, infertility, nocturnal behavior, and others. 
Tumblr media
Murders done by vampires were, against all expectations, incredebly low.
There was no use to kill anyways, and vampires were known to be smart.
And so was Jungkook, as well. At the young age of 123 years, at least for a man with vampirism, he knew his way around. He'd lived several lives already, every single one however, alone. He loved to watch from the sidelines, loved to play cupid and bring to friends together, loved to see others happy. Until they found out.
At first, people were scared. As they should be, he'd thought. He had his growing fears as well, knowing how aggressive and vile some of his brothers could be. They loved the things they could kill sometimes too much, underestimating their strength to the point of breaking what they cherished.
Jungkook never wanted to be like them.
When they first met, he had been adamant to find out what made her smile. He did not know why, but he felt like it was important to know. She had asked him questions, as everyone did, naturally, their interest in his entire body growing with every new article about studies made on people with vampirism. He was one of the younger ones, although every generation brought a fair share of new vampires into the world. The questions she asked however, weren't what he usually heard.
'Is it lonely?'
'have you ever fallen in love?'
'how different was every life from the other?'
It was unusual, really.
But over time, he started to grow fond of her presence.
He liked whenever she visited, his home feeling not so empty with her. She seemed very young, even for human standards, however, he soon found out that, if he'd been born a hundred years later, she wouldn't be much younger than him. She worked at a library, as she'd told him fondly, explaining to him that she liked the peaceful quiet her job brought her. He'd picked her up a few times after that, going out for coffee and cake, his facial features slowly getting used to the gentle smile he held whenever he was with her.
And before he knew, he'd fallen in love.
It wasn't the first time he'd ever felt that way, but it certainly would be the first time he would be selfish, and try to win her for himself. He knew that it would end horribly, it would end in tears and endless sorrow on his end, as he would very well outlive her, but for some odd reason; he did not care about it.
The chance of spending just those years with her, was too tempting to give away.
"I like that, but doesn't it sound a bit sad?" She mumbled from his side, cheek resting against the middle of his shoulder. She suddenly started to move her own, smaller hands over the different keys, changing the melody a bit into a more hesitant, yet more friendly tune. He nodded with a smile, slowly picking up on the pattern she'd chosen, before he removed his hands, simply letting her play away, listening as he watched her face. "It sounds like summer, doesn't it?" She asked, and he chuckled, nodding. It did.
He watched as the cat, gumball as she'd called him a year ago, flexed his feet, stretching on a patch of sunlight shining into the room. He'd complained a bit about the fact that he was a bit on the chubbier side, but she'd held him in her arms like a child, pouting at him as she exclaimed that he should never 'bodyshame' her baby ever again, and that he was just fluffy. He'd researched a bit after that, with the actual goal of maybe showing you evidence that the cat should loose weight, but had found that the specific breed was naturally like that. So he simply let her feed him, occasionally giving the furry companion a treat as well.
He simply leaned back a bit as he closed his eyes, letting the tune be memorized into his thoughts.
It did sound like summer.
Tumblr media
"Do you think cats can dream?" She asked one day, her legs over his thighs as the rest of her body leaned against a pillow on the sofa-side, her body wrapped in a soft light pink blanket he'd tucked her into when she'd complained how cold she was earlier. He chuckled.
"Now what kind of question is that love?" He asked, before he shifted his posture on the sofa a bit, one hand on her shin gently moving over it every now and then. "I believe they have the mental capacity, and they in fact process daily events during sleep similarly to humans." He explained while trying to watch the TV show simultaneously. She pouted.
"So do they or don't they?" She asked, and he chuckled again, looking at her.
He smiled. "They do sweetheart." He said, and she smiled at that, shifting her attention back to the TV, before she suddenly scrunched up her brows. "Dogs do too." He said, and she giggled, before gently and playfully hitting his arm- or trying to, as it was too far away for her to reach.
"I mean, good to know but no, I didn't want to ask that." She explained, looking at him now as she slowly sat up, her legs still over his. "Do you dream?" She asked curiously, as he nodded.
"I dream of you." He answered, and watched as her cheeks turned red, making her bury her face further into the little blanket burrito she was in, making him chuckle. "No, no hiding baby." He said, trying to pull the blanket down as she tried to escape him, shuffling around the sofa until a squeak escaped her when he grabbed her ankles, pulling on them as her lower body now rested over his thighs. "Oh, my little snack wants to run away now?" He hummed, arms now caging her in as she mumbled something. "Sorry, what?" He asked with a teasing tone as she kicked her legs a bit, not answering vocally. He became a bit confused before he noticed what she was trying to do.
Her skirt had ridden up from all the moving around, her underwear visible clear as day to him as he hummed, hands moving their places, as one gently pushed on the middle of her back, keeping her in place, before the other ran over the backsides of her bare thighs. "Hmm, now that I see it.." He said, voice low as he watched his pointer finger gently tease her folds, making her squirm a bit in his hold. "I think I'll need a taste." He finished, moving her around as he unraveled the blanket away from her, pulling her legs apart as he watched a small darker patch of wetness form on the fabric of her underwear. "Ah, already being so good now for me, yeah?" He asked, and she nodded shyly, holding her hands in front of her face. He clicked his tongue as he sat back on his heels. "Nuh-uh baby, what did we say, where do your hands belong when I play with you?" He asked, and slowly but surely, she moved them above her head, hanging loosely off the side of the sofa for now. It was a rule for her to keep her hands away from her face whenever he was with her, trying to help her with her confidence as he always made sure to praise her. "Good girl, such an obedient little snack for me, yeah?" He said, and she nodded as she gasped out.
"Only for you." And he hummed an approving reply against the inner side of her thigh, placing gentle kisses against the soft skin, only teasing his teeth against her, never to bite. Surely it had been a topic of discussion before, because how could it not if your partner was the very thing that held inside what kept you alive. But he'd told her that he'd never bite- sure, he could, and oh boy would it be a high, he knew it, but he didn't know if he had the amount of self-control required to not hurt her. So for now, he had to feast on her in a different way. And he was damn fine with that.
"Such a whiny baby." He teasingly hummed before he pulled down the fabric from her legs, making her squirm on the sofa as he chuckled. He did not waste any time, instantly covering her most intimate parts with his mouth, tongue licking over her pearl before he sucked, surpressing a grin as he heard her whine and huff out in pleasure when he moved his hand, fingers slowly entering her as she mewled in delight. "Hmm." He hummed, before he pulled on her legs again, making her yelp a bit in surprise as he grinned down on her. "Let me have a taste, yeah?"
Tumblr media
"Definetely not." He suddenly said behind her as she almost lost her footing on the kitchen counter, only savior in that moment the two strong arms around her middle, setting her down the counter instead, both hands on either side of her thighs. "What did I say about climbing things?" He asked, as if he was scolding a kid. In a weird way, he kind of was.
"Not to." She mumbled as she averted her gaze, biting her lip, and he nodded sternly, giving a very mild slap against her knee which still had a bandaid over it, hello kitty themed, as you'd once said you liked. "M' sorry.." She mumbled, looking down as he clicked his tongue.
"What was that?" He asked, his hand gently pulling on her chin to make her look at him properly, thumb pulling her lip from between her teeth. "I can't hear you when you're talking to the kitchen tiles baby." He said, patience wearing thin.
"I said I'm sorry." She replied to him, but the way she did it, with a slight roll of her eyes, crossed the line for him as he sighed, suddenly throwing her body over his shoulder, a hand coming down onto her behind with a loud clap as she apologized again, more sincerely this time.
"Oh well-" He began, as he walked into the bedroom with her, letting her fall back first onto the bed. "I don't believe you are, little girl." He said, sitting down on a chair in the corner of the room, at the end of the bed. "Show me." He simply said, leaning back as he rested one leg over the other, eyes watching her every move.
"I-" She started, unsure as she set in the middle. "H-How?" She asked, looking at him from her spot.
"How about you start touching yourself, hm?" He said, and she seemed surprised. He knew however that she would follow; she always did. They had both talked about the dynamics of their relationship, finding a perfect agreement as they both had discussed how well it would fit them both. With her need to be taken care of and looked after, he gladly accepted the role as not only her lover but caregiver as well. There was no need to call him 'Daddy' or any other title however- he didn't need any verbal proof of his place in her life, the way she behaved and followed his every command enough to stroke his dominance to no ends. "I don't know what you're waiting for." He suddenly said, making her head snap up again as if pulled out of a trance. "I'm not gonna do shit, and we both know you're not going to leave this room before you came." He finalized, as she suddenly moved, her hand reaching insider her underwear, as he again verbalized his disapproval. "There's a reason I'm sitting here little snack." He said, a teasing tone to his voice as she suddenly grew shy. "Give me a show, doll." He simply said, resting the side of his jaw on his hand as he watched her remover her clothing.
So delicate.
Tumblr media
He didn't know how or when it happened.
The only thing he knew was, that he had to find her in between the dark woods, before she could escape. He knew she was somewhere close, cracking leaves and branches easily giving away where she was as he spotted her eyes, wide open as she took off running. He tilted his head to the side in irritation before he began to move again, rolling up the sleeves of his black button up as he began to run, wanting, no, needing to end the chase.
It was laughably unfair, really.
But his need to feed was too uncomfortable by now to simply go by unnoticed. She should've known better than to run, she knew that it would set him off, she knew that he would fall into a predatory mindset if she decided to play the part of the prey. Yet when he'd asked her to leave him alone until he'd get a new monthly carepackage she'd giggled, playfully teasing him, seemingly unknowing of the sincerity of his request. He'd been open and honest with her, he'd asked her to leave for a reason; yet she simply didn't listen.
Maybe he really did scare her off. Maybe he should stop, let her get away, after all, he was a very prominent threat due to his need of blood. Blood she could give to him, he knew, and oh it would be so sweet- he knew it for a fact, her scent just absolutely divine. He should let her be, let her have the chance to live a regular life.
He slowly grew slower, that is, until he heard it.
She laughed.
Suddenly he scoffed, before he pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. Oh, so she thought he played around?
"You better stop laughing, and start running, little snack, or I might snatch a taste." He simply mumbled out as she smiled, taking off again, with him close at her heels.
It felt oddly primal to him to hunt her like that, as if he was slowly letting out something inside of him that he'd locked away. He never wanted to be too rough with her, always keen on being protective instead of simply seeing her as a supply of food for him. After all, he wanted nothing from her but her adoration and love, which she happily gave, be it in words or gestures.
But it seemed like tonight, she'd give him more than that.
He caught up to her quickly as she made the absolutely mental decision to run back into his home, trying to close the doors behind her to slow him down, yet with no use as he simply shut the front door behind him, quietness heavy in the pitchblack apartment. Her heavy breathing however was evident, so he simply walked up to her, backing her up as she almost stumbled down over the carped inside the bedroom, making him chuckle as he closed the door behind him. She fell down onto the mattress as he leaned over her, now in the very scarce light only coming inside from behind the blinds, drawing glowing lines onto his fair skin as he held her wrists, moving them above her head as his knee parted her legs.
It was truly delicious, the sight below him, he decided.
The way she panted still, chest raising and falling rapidly, her slightly shining skin from running so much, or her clothes ridding up and revealing her soft stomach to him. It all seemed so arousing to him, even though he'd seen it all at this point. He'd never get tired of it, never get used to it. It would never look mundane to him.
Still riled up from the chase, he immediately went to get her out of her clothes, hastily getting her out of any fabric that would stand between his and her skin, his own clothing included. He felt rabid almost as he swore he felt his pulse begin to race, her entire being too much for his still livid senses as he mouthed against her neck, holding himself back as he moved his knee, pressing it against her core as she bucked up against him, already wet enough to easily glide over his skin, making him groan in pleasure. She was always so ready, so responsive to him, it made him feel proud. "Could eat you right up." He mumbled against her skin, uncaring on how her slick began to coat his thigh, his hand already moving down to messily rub over her center, making her whine out. "So sensitive.." He hummed, melodic voice deeper than usual as he suddenly moved her around roughly, pressing her legs against her stomach to reveal her glistening core to him, his already hard length ready to take on its rightful place buried inside her. "You can take it like that, yeah?" He said, and she nodded, mewling out as he pushed his cock inside, groaning out at the feeling of her tight walls welcoming him eagerly. He sighed before moving, setting a hard pace right from the very beginning, knowing how much she could take.
He usually hesitated to be this rough with her, scared to hurt her in any way, shape, or form, yet this time he'd let himself off the chain. Skin against skin was the only sound aside from heavy breathing and her oh so delightful vocals that echoed inside the room, as he suddenly almost growled against her collarbone. "Wanna. ah!" He huffed out, slowing down his hips a bit to form a better sentence as his thoughts became clouded. "Wanna bite." He asked without question, making her nod desperately, her arms reaching out to place themselves in his long hair, uncaring about the slight dampness of them due to his sweat. "Yeah? You'd like that?" He asked breathlessly, as he began to thrust into her with more vigor, making her entire body shake every time his hips met her. "You'd like me to bite you? Suck you dry like the little snack you are?" He grumbled out, making her huff out her breaths as she became closer to her release, hands clawing whatever skin she could reach. He didn't feel the pain. She nodded again and again, until she yelled out in a short squeak of pain as his teeth finally bit down. He didn't draw blood yet, however. "Come on now, cum for me yeah?" He asked, letting one of her legs go as he picked up his speed, only hesitantly slowing down as she came undone, loving the way her eyes became shiny at the over stimulation he gave. He chuckled darkly as his own movements became sloppy, catching up to his own release as he suddenly tasted iron on his tongue.
It was so sweet, sweeter than he could've ever imagined it to be. People suffering from vampirism typically had a favor for the taste of blood, a natural thing to help them survive in a way, as the usual human would instinctively become nauseous at the taste. But this was a whole different level of taste- it was a feeling throwing his entire body into a sense of euphoria he'd never experienced in his entire lifetime he'd had to spend until now. It made him bite harder, suck harder on her now opened skin, as he forced himself to let go of her, almost choking up at the way he wanted to cry from all those different emotions flooding his mind and body. He licked at her neck, at the still seeping wound, until his shaking stopped, his hands again wandering over her skin.
Thats when he noticed.
As if burned, he moved his head away from her skin, now finally looking at her properly. His eyes were wide, already tearing up as his mind started to panic, the view of her and the now stained sheets immediately setting up red flags all over the place. He swallowed hard, shaking hands reaching for her wrists, the fact that her pulse was still beating only mildly soothing his frantic soul in that moment. He slowly got up, almost tripping as he opened the bedroom door, practically running inside the bathroom, almost knocking things over as he wets a washcloth, and carries the first aid kit back inside at her side, moving her now gently, hesitantly, as if she was a cracked china doll ready to break if he moved just a tad too fast. He cleaned her up, still sniffling as he blinked repeatedly, trying to keep his vision clear through his steadily flowing tears. How could he? He promised, he promised to never hurt you, you of all people- yet it seemed like he had no control over himself, after all. He felt frustrated with himself, angry at his own actions as he forced himself to calm down, hands slowly growing more steady as he places everything down properly, wrapping her up carefully as he finally sighed, no red seeping through the now flawless white bandages around the bite he'd left.
For a moment, he simply watched her breathe.
Just because she did.
Tumblr media
"Koo?" She asked tiredly from the doorway, now dressed in a sweater of his the piece of clothing reaching mid-thigh for her, almost her knees if he looked more closely. He immediately got up as she simply smiled, hugging him as if she'd seen him after a long day. He picked her up, arms underneath her bottom as she giggled, his frown still evident however. Sitting her down on the sofa, he looked at her with a serious expression, trying to talk before she cut him off. "I know what you're gonna say, and its fine. I'm fine!" She said, and he sighed, shaking his head. "Kook, things happen. I was just.. overwhelmed. I'm not gonna leave you-" She said, as he suddenly cut her off.
"You should." He said sternly, looking to the side as he ran a hand over his face. "I almost killed you-"
She groaned. "No you didn't! I'm simply a bit squeamish when it comes to blood, it happens all the time!" She explained, and he slowly turned his gaze back on her. "My friend once cut her hand on a paper she'd pulled out in school, and I passed out too. Happens with everyone to be honest, like, my mom once fell too and scraped her knees pretty badly and I just flopped down like a fish-" She talked away, as he still seemed uncertain.
"I should've noticed it sooner though. I was so.. immersed in it that I didn't even notice you pass out. That's just.. fucked up." He said, unsure where to look before she scooted forwards, sitting on his lap as he gently ran his thumb over her bandage. "I'm so sorry." He said, and she nodded.
"Okay." She answered. "I'll accept your apology, under one circumstance!" She exclaimed, lifting her finger towards his face. He furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head in question like he typically did, before she answered. "I can have icecream for dinner." She exclaimed seriously, as he finally cracked up, chuckling as he brushed some of her hair out of her face.
"Baby, its almost time for lunch now. You slept all night." He explained, and she suddenly looked at the clock, before her cheeks reddened.
"Then I want it for lunch." She said, before he sighed.
He looked at her with an uncertain look. "I don't know, you should eat something proper-" He tried to reason, as she suddenly let herself fall onto her back, legs on either side of his hips stretched out as she playfully dramatically exclaimed.
"Oh no!" She groaned out exaggerated. "Ah I'm in so much pain, ah- Hey!" She suddenly laughed as he'd leaned forwards, tickling her sides as he'd instantly called out her bluff. "Stop stop, STOP!" She yelled between laughter, as he suddenly kissed her bandage, up to just underneath her ear, then her jawline, before finally meeting her lips.
"You can have whatever you want, my little snack." He said, and she smiled, happy to have him back.
Tumblr media
"Kooks?" She suddenly asked in a hushed voice, as he answered with a hum.
"Yeah?" He asked after she didn't reply.
"Just a random reminder that I love you lots." She said, before he squeezed her just a bit tighter in his arms.
"Just a random reminder that we're still going to the doctor tomorrow." He said, chuckling as she groaned.

PGR Modern social media au HCs!
Lucia
- Probably just has instagram or twitter for the heck of it, no serious social media presence
- Some of her posts do make great memes tho
- Appears in everyone else’s videos and that’s why she has a lot of followers
- More than anyone she appears in Watanabe’s videos bc she has nothing else to do
- Occasionally Roland’s too because he knows Luna or something idk
Liv
- Aesthetic stuff instagram/twitter/tumblr posts probably
- Her life looks like a Ghibli film
- Lots of hidden spots in her videos
- Blogs sometimes
Lee
- Oh something fashion related for sure
- Mostly just general fashion advice, hauls, and thrift flips
- Appears in Kamui’s streams a lot
- Occasionally in Watanabe’s videos
- Fandom inspired outfits (Ghibli, video games, you name it he has a lot of clothes)
- Also the occasional blog
- All around pretty crafty
- Very similar content to Best Dressed on YouTube (can’t link on mobile sorry)
Watanabe
- Cooking channel :D
- Probably has the kids as guests a lot
- It’s a running joke among his subscribers that Liv, Lee, and Lucia are his adopted children
- It’s not official obvs and his subs know that he wants actual kids one day
- Has some simps probably
- Hey, he’s a buff guy with a voice smooth as honey teaching you how to cook. I’d simp too
- Blogs occasionally
- His summer blogs get lots of views for… obvious reasons (*cough cough* his muscles *cough, cough*)
- Lots of videos about his cats
- Actually, most of his videos feature his cats in some way, either they ruin his cooking or they just act cute
Kamui
- Twitch streamer!!!!!
- Video games obviously
- Lee appears in his streams and videos a lot since they’re dating
- Camu also appears occasionally (they’re twins in my modern au ok leave me alone)
- Sometimes does some dumb shit unrelated to video games
- Some of these include: trying to cook with Watanabe, dyeing Camu’s hair or his own, trying to cook by himself (it always ends in him calling Watanabe) opening fan mail, and the occasional shoddy cosplay
- Has some simps and stans me thinks
- They’re kinda problematic sometimes, hey, every fanbase has it’s bad apples
Camu
- Models occasionally but overall not too serious about social media
- Lots of simps because he’s in a lot of Kamui’s videos and streams
- Probably makes cynical comedy videos on TikTok tho and gets a decent following from them
Roland
- Bro he’s an actor what do you think???
- Simps left and right
- Lots of sponsors
- Promotes projects he’s in
- But he tries to put out content that isn’t just related to his acting
- So mainly blogs and sometimes video games
- People would probably think he’s dating Luna
- Idk how to feel about Roland x Luna tbh
- They could be dating in this au but I highly doubt Lucia approves lmao
- The most popular next to Selena
Luna
- Modeling maybe? She strikes me as that type of person
- Has tried to get Lucia into it but she just doesn’t care
- Mostly just posts some of her modelling stuff on instagram
- Appears in lots of Roland’s videos though
- Everyone jokes that he’s a simp for her lmao
Selena
- I feel like she’d be a singer of some sort in a modern au so most of her content is for her music videos
- Covers and blogs sometimes
- General music tips too probably
- Tries to keep her private life a secret but everyone knows she’s good friends with Ayla
Ayla
- ART YOUTUBE!!!!
- She would be supper popular on art YouTube since she’s so charismatic and cute
- I would probably watch her a lot
- Art tips, tutorials, streams, yeah
- Art challenges too most likely
- Really nice art with a very specific mood that everyone recognizes
- Idk how to explain it but lots of popular social media artists (Sam Does arts, Ross Drawsm Loish) all have really distinct styles
- Gets lots of attention bc she’s friend with Selena
I think this is everyone who would have a notable social media presence, I included Camu and Lucia because they make cameo’s in everyone else’s content

hi!! i looked in your fic rec MP and i didn't see it, so i thought I'd ask. i read In Vogue recently and LOVED it and then I've been binging project runway episodes (bc why not) and now I'm craving good fashion fics. maybe even a project runway one. have you read any good ones? and could you maybe rec some?
Hi sweetheart. Ohhh, I love that fic. And yes, I’ve got a few that have to do with fashion.
Tumblr media
In Vogue by otpwhatever / @thecelineharry (M, 121K) This one is just….so much. The intensity of the characters, the crazy hot smut (oh god, the window scene), the FASHION, the angst (I had to take a walk around the block after reading it), the epic love story between two men who could rule the world if they could just figure their shit out. The fic has been deleted, but the link is to a download.
These Constant Stars by stylinsoncity (M, 31K) This author has written so many great fics and this one is really lovely. I also always like when one of the boys is not what he seems to be on first glance. There’s also a second part, told from Harry’s POV.
Three French Hems by 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews (M, 20K) the characterizations and set up for this fic are sharp and funny, making this a really fun read. Plus there’s a lot of talk of Louis worshipping Harry’s thighs. LOL!
Fading by tothemoonmydear (M, 202K) Let me start by asking you to please read the tags on this one. It’s a very well-written fic, but it deals very graphically with Louis’ character’s eating disorder. At the time it was written some people felt it did not portray ED recovery accurately, so if the subject is at all triggering for you, please don’t read this one. Of that’s not an issue for you, make sure you have tissues ready because I ugly cried through almost all of this. I read it years ago and loved it at the time, but it’s not one I could handle reading twice.
sweet, where you lay by @infinitelymint (E, 27K) I read this ages ago and my notes only say that it was “sweet and sexy”, which is not terribly helpful. But this author is a good one, in general, so I feel safe including it here.
The rest of these were suggested by @cuethetommo who generally likes the same sort of fics I do. I either haven’t read these, or don’t remember enough about them to have an opinion! 😆 But I trust her.
Put It All On Me by LoadedGunn (M, 15K)
"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."
The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.
Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)
you pull me in by yoursongonmyheart (NR, 7K)
“Did you really wear silk jammies to meet him?” Fizzy is almost in tears.
He’s going to kill them.
He’s really going to kill them.
Ernie throws his backpack on the floor before telling Fizzy, quite loudly, “Mr. Styles looked at Achoo like this” and making an exaggerated jaw dropped face.
“That is not what happened!” Louis protests.
“And Achoo looked at Mr. Styles like that, too!” Doris pulls the same face before laughing.
------
//or the one where Louis is a model, Harry teaches Doris and Ernie at primary and now might be a good time to fall in love.
This Road Leads Where Your Heart Is by LittleLostPieces (E, 15K)
Alright, so Louis has a bit of a type is the thing. And as fit as his supermodel flatmate (Harry) may be, he isn't what Louis is looking for in a potential partner. That’s all. He’s not Louis’ type, with his miles of lanky limbs and his bright, boyish eyes. His impossibly tight, little body and infectious laughter are not what Louis wants. They're not. Really.
swimming in a champagne sea by delsicle (E, 17K)
Louis is a supermodel. Harry is a celebrity photographer known for capturing the brightest up and comers in their most candid moments. They meet at London’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve party.
An alpha/alpha fic filled with confusion, banter, Ubers, and glitter
Life at Shutter Speed by zarah5 (E, 20K)
AU. Having landed a job modelling for an outdoor clothing catalogue, Harry certainly wouldn’t mind doing some extracurricular work for photographer Louis Tomlinson. Say, a private photo session? Yes, please? Good thing that Harry has ten days and three beautiful locations -- Morocco, Indonesia and the Swiss Alps -- to make Louis see just how good they could be.
Special Topping by LoadedGunn (E, 20K)
'Who would even want so many pizzas so late at night?' Harry wonders before the door opens.
Oh. Apparently short guys with shaggy brown hair and a scruff and bright blue eyes and heart-stopping smiles. That's who.
Harry's not even ashamed of how he nearly drops all the pizzas. This guy is gorgeous and Harry hasn't noticed anyone like that in ages, let alone provided services to them. If he opened his mouth right now the only thing that would come out is, "By special topping did you mean my dick?"
Or, the AU where Harry delivers pizza and Louis really just wants Tim Gunn to spank him.
everywhere (i want to be with you) by itiswhatisbutterfly (E, 42K)
Harry and Louis meet because they have terrible friends, they fall in love because something feels right in a world of uncertainty and shifting grounds. Louis is an actor and Harry is a model at the top of his game, the best things in life are the most unexpected ones and the things that hit you when you are least expecting it.
Featuring winter in London, nights in Paris, early mornings in New York, burning heat in Monte Carlo and an enduring love spent transcending four corners of the globe.
Young Gods by sincewewereeighteen (E, 77K)
“Why don’t you stay?” Harry looked down at him and snorted. “What?”
“You’re not my type, Louis”, the boy rolled his eyes sitting on the edge of the bed to put on his boots.
“Says the man you just had sex with”, Louis pointed feeling smart, but Harry was one step ahead of him, with the answer on the tip of his tongue.
“You see, if you were my type, I wouldn’t have”, Harry winked, cheeky as hell. “I would’ve gotten to know you first.”
“Bullshit”, he accused the boy not letting it show how intrigued he was. “How can you know I’m not your type if you don’t know me?”
“How about I list five things about you to prove I’m right and if any of them are false I’ll lie down again.”
“Ok. Go.”
[Or: the one in which Louis is a model and Harry's supposed to be a normal guy... Until he isn't.]

im sorry if u dont do fic recs u can ignore this! ive been seeing ur reblogs n its kinda putting me back to mdzs mood (i thought i was over this sike to me ig) n if u have any fics uve read n liked id gladly take any 🤲
oh i love this for u!! im def new here so i haven’t actually read a ton but my fic finding method is currently —1) ask @lanwangjigrumpyfacecollection what i should read bc their taste is immaculate and i always end up crying at whatever they rec 2) after reading a particularly excellent fic, comb thru that author’s ao3 bookmarks, rinse repeat etc—and that hasn’t failed me yet :)
anyway here’s a list of my faves so far!
The Roots Grow Riotous by hansbekhart - 104k E a fashion industry au from LWJ’s pov. immersive, devastating, poetic. i could probs write an essay-length reflection on this shit. felt genuinely rearranged after reading it. a stand alone novel in its own right. a beautiful exploration of grief, loneliness, despair, horror, etc. like, come for the lovely wangxian dynamics and them being hot, stay for the revelatory LWJ character study that had me in fucking tearsss by the end. truly deserves to be read widely just for how singular and cinematic that third act is.
Three changes. by orange_crushed - 18k M for someone who reads so much angst i could choke on it, i love to recover with distilled tenderness, no hurt all yearning etc. and this is the blossoming of summer love cql-lecture-arc the boys deserved. peak comfort fic mentally i am in that lake scene. young terrified-of-love LWJ my beloved!!
Say So by @lanwangjigrumpyfacecollection - 15k E feat. a sex-cursed WWX incapable of playing it cool. LWJ is not not pleased. more importantly who is doing it like feelsforbreakfast. who!!! u know i had zero intention of getting into the untamed even tho it ruled my dash for 2 years and yet the moment ffb wrote a fic? im there. say less. say nothing at all. ur always in for a tender funny horny time. it’s hot it’s hilarious it’s abt the mortifying ordeal of voicing what one wants. 10/10 re-readability.
your name, safe in their mouth by astrolesbian - 10k G [lan sizhui gets sick on a night hunt. wei wuxian comforts him. they both have a lot of feelings about it.] how to gently rip out my heart and stitch it back together in 10k words: explore literally any aspect of WWX-LSZ father-son relationship. be sure to include post-resurrection WWX feeling like he’ll always be playing catch up with lost time and the people who had to survive his death. feature a vulnerable LSZ (who just wants to be close with his undead dad) and a wary WWX (who doesn’t know if he deserves that closeness). im still emo abt this
Pentimento. by orange_crushed - 73k E [Former best friends Lan Wangji, paintings conservator, and Wei Wuxian, art handler, meet again and realize... neither of them were actually in unrequited love.] immaculate setting, i read it for that reason alone. loved LWJ’s pov in this—reserved, self-conscious, observant, sad, suffocating with unspoken desires etc. but it’s the final paragraphs of the last chapter that got me. thee loveliest surprise and such a satisfying close to the story.
A Very Star-Like Start by hansbekhart - 3k E short lovely soft perfect. the extended cql wangxian lotus lake boat scene we deserved.
All that is solid melts into air by huxiyi - 18k T was absolutely taken with the premise of this fic bc 1) i love angst 2) i love seeing a bitter/sad/angry wangxian in their older age making amends 3) i love thinking about the class dynamics in CQL, WWX’s robin-hood streak, all the villains having origin stories that amount to a lack of status, and the breakdown of relationships because of these dynamics. everything is a sad mess but it will be ok!
No night as deep as my night. by orange_crushed - 17k E another orange_crushed bc well. if u find a good author it makes sense to work thru all their fics. anyway this one is a post-nightless city au. wwx on the verge of death. lwj desperate to save him. equal parts dark and lovely. idk how to explain it but i feel like orange_crushed excels at using a fic setting to build emotional landscapes that completely expand ur understanding of a character. this one in particular feels like a love letter to the burial mounds, homes made out of dead things, personified darkness, etc.

fic writer review
thanks to @delphiniumblooms for tagging me!!! :D
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
66 posted and one lonely little draft that's probably never gonna get finished
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?
102,532
3. How many fandoms have you written for?
including things i've multiple-tagged for related fandoms, 24. but like i said, a lot of that is because of interconnected/related fandoms
4. Top 5 fics by kudos?
tell me more than just the scars i've known - my first Sylki fic that i wrote while extremely frustrated by lack of cell service, it's not my favorite thing i've written but listen: sometimes a girl's just gotta write some whump, ok?
Dream Again (When One's Left Behind) - the one and only Tangled: The Series fic i've ever written. Varian angst and platonic h/c with one of the only alternating POVs i've ever successfully written.
for the bad decisions that we made - the Sylki fic i posted less than two days ago (writing for big fandoms is wild, guys); yet another take on an s2 reunion but this time featuring heart-to-hearts, hugs, and one of my favorite lines of prose i've ever written
Learn Me Right - Newsies sickfic that i'm not incredibly proud of, but it's where i started writing my favorite minor character, so it's cool.
We Are Broken - one of my other Newsies fics, bc yeah i had a phase back in January, and i saw some Wormsies post that gave me an idea.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?
YES. i always reply to comments just bc i love talking to people, and i also love talking about my fics at any opportunity. also bc i know how nice it is to leave an author a comment and get a reply later on, it's just such a great feeling so i like to be that person :)
6. A fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
eurrgghh probably either Dust & Ashes or we're gonna sing it again and again, bc they ended with MCD, but i really kind of hate both of them in retrospect because i was trying to write them to be canon compliant, but i wasn't familiar enough with canon and they're just... very very off
7. Do you write crossovers?
nope, not unless you count different eras and contexts of Doctor Who stuff as crossover
8. Ever received hate on a fic?
nope again, AO3 culture is very nice and i really love it
9, Do you write smut?
biggest NOPE yet, i don't write it or read it. just.... n o p e.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no
11. Ever had a fic translated?
again, no. but that would be really heckin cool if one of my fics ever did get translated!!
12. Have you ever co-written a fic?
i'm saying "no" a whole lot, wow... but yeah, no i haven't. i've considered co-writing something with my best friend, but we've never gotten around to it
13. All time fav ship?
i... cannot pick one tbh. it changes with my hyperfixation. right now i have Sylki brainrot lol
14. WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
probably my Gallifrey/DWEU buddy cop au?? i love it, it's my brainchild, but yeah :/
15. Writing strengths?
i've been told that i'm really good at packing a lot of emotion and meta into very short fics, and i'm pretty proud of that tbh
16. Writing weaknesses?
i suck at plot and dialogue can sometimes drive me nuts. i think my biggest weakness as i perceive it is that i find it hard to *not* make things in fics go very fast? like i write everything out that i want in a fic but it's still incredibly short and i worry that it feels rushed, even though other people don't usually think that.
17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?
uh... the only language other than English that i know is Koine Greek (as in, the specific Greek that the Bible's New Testament was oroginally written in) and it's a dead language, sooooo.......
18. First fandom you wrote for?
Big Finish Doctor Who! (tho tbh i think back when i was 11/12 i wrote some random self-insert stuff for whatever little fandoms i was in back then 😅)
19. What’s your fav fic you’ve written so far?
ohhh i can't choose? usually i'm just most partial to whatever i've most recently written, which right now is for the bad decisions that we made. i think one of my Gallifrey fics, In The Drift, is definitely high on my list of favorites though.
here's my AO3 for anyone who might like to take a look!
tagging @fortes-fortuna-iogurtum and @picnokinesis if either of you want to do this, and anyone else who sees it if you want. :D

fanfic recommendations
for @kittensocute bc i heard “atsukita” and “iwaoi” in reference to fanfiction and i am There
i took your “i love slow burn or slow build fics... so i like relatively shorter burn fics (20-30k). If its a 10k oneshot slow burn hELL SIGN ME UP” and absolutely ran with it.
i listed my fav iwaoi fics (17) with a longer word count (longest is 80k) that are all mostly either canon compliant or divergent with only two straight up AUs. none of them feature heavy nsfw content and most if not all are tagged as friends to lovers lmao. feel free to read the my thoughts or just go into them blind!! and they’re all in order of how much I absolutely adore them :^)
now atsukita is not a big ship *sobs* but here are some of my favorite fics (7) of them! a lot of them are shorter bc i guess that’s just. what happens when it’s a small ship LOL. 
the formatting in this is fucked if you open it from ur dash but if it’s on my actual blog it should be fine!
Iwaoi
the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle
Word count: 66k
thoughts: my absolute absolute absolute favorite iwaoi fic. the characterization, the fact that oikawa’s a bastard but because he and iwaizumi are older (late 20s i believe), it feels more realistic and sad rather than oikawa being a bitch for the sake of it. spoiler alert it’s slow burn and pining and mostly oikawa not realizing his feelings. this world building is pretty cool bc iwaizumi is the professional player while oikawa is an entomology professor! also i love non-linear narratives bc of This fic. there’s mutual pining in this fic but it’s really really really subtle to the point where you dont even know if oikawa likes iwa. this made me cry like twice.
sunset towns
Word count: 33k
Summary: In the summer of 2020, Oikawa Tooru returns home from his first successful stint as captain of Japan’s national volleyball team. In one hand, he holds the undisputed weight of an Olympic medal, and in the other, his unresolved feelings for a childhood best friend.
thoughts: the tone in this is So similar to the courtship ritual that I liken this as an alternate story even though it’s still oikawa’s pov. professional player oikawa and regular guy iwaizumi and oikawa is just. bumming around at iwaizumi’s place and naturally he messes up but things happen.
told before and told again
word count: 4k
thoughts: i looked through literally all the tags i could’ve thought of for this and nearly cried when i found it agian. outsider POV!!
In damp earth my body
Word count: 15k
Summary: Onscreen, the nation’s favorite setter has arranged himself so that he’s bowing, forehead pressed to the court, like he’s thanking everyone for their kindness thus far, like he’s asking for forgiveness. Hajime thinks: shit, it’s really happening
thoughts: oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and they blur the line between roommates/best friends and being fwb. this is an iwaizumi pov and the pining is obvious on his end. as a iwa stan the tone made me feel weird bc it makes it seem like iwa cares more abt oikawa than he cares abt himself but. its a good fic
i grew up, you grew down
word count: 19k
thoughts: this is also SO funny bc basically oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and becomes his stay at home wife and a bunch of shit happens like people think that oikawa is dating ushijima and oikawa basically loses it every time. here’s one of my favorite quotes:
“Oikawa also bought a new ultra-strength vacuum cleaner he’d decided to name Ushiwaka out of sheer spite, because it sucked all the air right out of the room. Iwa-chan didn’t think the joke was that funny when Tooru told him, which was frankly very hurtful and insensitive.”
Mint
Word count: 19k
thoughts: iwaizumi is moving and oikawa planned a perfect last hangout and it goes to shit featuring matsuhana. oikawa pov where he pines more than iwa which is something i can get behind!! and this was written in 2015 and iwa’s moving bc of a sports medicine program so iwaizumi stans know and love him sm ;;
Almost a Stranger
Word count: 16k
thoughts: same premise as mint LOL except they’re on a trip together and there’s more non-linear narrative!! this one is a little more mature in tone than mint i would say (funny how people just like splitting them up and throwing them in different countries huh)
with every second that you could give
Word count: 9k
Summary: The journey of Iwaizumi and Oikawa going for gold.
Quote: He knows they’re too close. Iwaizumi knows it too, and they both decided to move in together anyway.
thoughts: iwaoi roommates and they’re both obviously and really pine-y for each other and everyone sees it but them. srsly. they’re sleeping in the same bed. like my god
Lost in Translation
Word count: 9k
Summary: Because misfortune come in threes, Iwaizumi Hajime starts his Thursday having a screaming fight with Shittykawa, spends his lunch break listening to the UCI women’s volleyball team gossiping about how Ushijima Wakatoshi had gone public about his longtime love affair with Oikawa Tooru, and closes out the day by drunkenly dropping his phone into a sewer grate.
thoughts: so funny. so sososoosso genuinely funny. the tone is so snappy and iwaizumi honestly just sounds like a confused teenager (which he is in this) and it gets extra points for including a lot of american culture that a lot of the other iwaoi college au ones don’t include for like. obvious reasons lol.
Something Borrowed
Word count: 16k
Summary: In which Oikawa and Iwaizumi have always been a foregone conclusion to everyone else, but a massive, unanswered question to one another.
thoughts: iwaoi roommates thats abo but it’s like. mentioned twice. whiny and possessive oikawa makes an appearance in this but it’s done really well
things that change, things that stay the same
Word count: 8k
Summary: Oikawa realizes he’s in love with his best friend; it sucks for a while. (But only for a little while.)
thoughts: high school getting together!! my second iwaoi fic ever and this one is just. so sweet. just an unsure oikawa realizing iwaizumi might be more than someone he wants as a best friend. this fic is honestly really really lovely.
galaxies, within you
Word count: 21k
Summary: Hajime and Tooru move in together at the start of university. Too bad they’re stuck with the two gremlins that haunt their apartment.
thoughts: ok this fic was so funny. theyre uni roommates and matsuhana just come fuck shit up and they all act like idiots together even though they go to different schools. and this really throws me back to university days.
Thirty Years and Change (the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad)
Word count: 19k
thoughts: pro! oikawa and iwaizumi haven’t been close for a while until oikawa invites iwaizumi to go to the games with him. there’s a lot of frustration and pining and actually talking about feelings (aka iwaizumi losing his mind and getting advice from people like akaashi)
when it starts to rain, they go inside
Word count: 33k
Summary: “Where?” starts Iwaizumi.“ My parent’s old lakehouse, silly, didn’t you hear me the first time?” OR: Oikawa takes Iwaizumi to his lakehouse for two weeks, post-graduation.
thoughts: this was actually my first iwaoi fic which is funny bc the author doesn’t even like oikawa much and i didnt even ship anything in haikyuu before i read this fic and now im in iwaoi hell. oikawa is really frustrating in this in that it’s basically a really good character analysis on how oikawa comes off as a Mean person all the time bc he’s manipulative and there’s some explicit content
shiver
Word count: 16k
Summary: Oikawa was always the brave one. Hajime just followed two paces behind.
thoughts: iwaoi roommates with oikawa admitting his feelings first back when they were in middle school and iwaizumi putting that thought on the backburner until. obviously. things happen.
Desperado
word count: 80k
thoughts: one of my favorite aus. it’s all from kyoutani’s perspective and it’s almost so au that they’re original characters (if that makes sense). basically iwaoi matsuhana are ex-grifters except iwaoi are estranged and daishou somehow brings everyone back together. excellent world building and reading the pov from someone not involved with the iwaoi drama was refreshing
sing with me a song of conquest and fate
word count: 26k
thoughts: a mythical kings au that’s just. so pretty. iwaizumi ends up becoming oikawa’s servant for some reason and the world building is a+ because you can feel the trust and frustration from both of them build
Atsukita
dreams of me and you
word count: 10k (incomplete)
my second atsukita fic that rly sent me down atskt hell ;; what is essentially post-break up when atsumu gets signed to msby and he’s just Pining and sad for the most part. but the established relationship pre-break up was written really nicely because it just fits my hc of them just being domestic and atsumu being blatantly head over heels
take me home
word count: 4k
i read this this morning and it wrecked me. domestic relationship atsukita?? sign me up
No time like the rest of my life
word count: 19k
mythology au with kita as a regular person and rest of inarizaki as fox spirits! it’s cute and the world building is absolutely lovely but it is an au so they might seem ooc but their core character values are still there
wild blue yonder
word count: 6k
literally full of similes and metaphors and it’s more of an abstract read i guess? but it’s so beautiful and soft and this is exactly how i imagine their relationship
reap and sow
word count: 8k
atsumu confesses and kita ignores him and it’s a couple years after the fact and it’s mostly just weirdly domestic almost roommate like except for the fact that atsumu makes it clear he likes kita LOL. they’re really in character for this!
weightless souls
word count: 2k
pillow talk before atsumu’s first game! the atsumu pov and voice is amazing

Do you have specific fic recs that are like hurt comfort? I’d like some angst with a good ending, and I trust your taste! I’m really looking for longer fics but anything would be cool! ☀️
OOF OK so i haven’t actually read fic in entirely too long bc... life is hard. and i’m a fucking jerk that never bookmarks fics they like, so i had to go digging into my ao3 history, but worth it bc hurt/comfort is absolutely my jam. and i knew somewhere in there i had a mood and boy was i right. 
i only included fics that actually have hurt/comfort tagged. i’ve def read some other great hurt/comfort fics that just didn’t have it tagged, but my filing system is apparently garbage.
a few gimmes, and by that i mean you probably have already read them:
julian, by vands88 ( @vands88​ ) - E & 22022 words
Inspired by Spencer B’s ballet AU
Jaskier was a child prodigy who burned out before he was sixteen. Now he's going from job to job with no aim in life until he meets Geralt Rivia - the famously strong ballet dancer who has also fallen from grace after an accident that he still blames himself for.
Geralt sees a potential dance partner in Jaskier and maybe even a chance for redemption. Jaskier, meanwhile, just wants to get laid.
glitter and gold, by siren_songs - M & 70989 words
Geralt manages to get his life saved by a peculiarly friendly Siren, and as payment agrees to allow the creature to accompany him, unsure as to why Jaskier would want to leave his lake behind, nor why he would choose Geralt to tag along with.
to sleep perchance to, by sospes - M & 16955
Jaskier gets kidnapped and tortured. Geralt comes to rescue him.
Except it's not quite that simple.
companionship, by arliadevi - T & 14080
In which Ciri suspects but cannot confirm.
Or,
Geralt and Jaskier get domestic. Well, as domestic as they can.
no filter, by pukingflowers - Not Rated & 226630
When Jaskier is cursed to always speak his mind, he and Geralt are forced to journey together to fix it before it gets him killed...if they can find the culprit in time. From traveling through swamps and fighting bandits to attending elegant banquets, the road ahead will not be easy.
Slash, post-fight fix-it fic! Chapters 1-17 are what I consider to be the start-conclusion of the truth spell fic. After that, a new journey begins! Chapter 58 is when the body swap plot starts up.
(quick aside to say that honestly i only read the first arc but it was very good. i’m sure the rest is good too, it’s just long)
& then some that aren’t the obvious ones
sweet things turn sourest by their deeds, by myrtlewilson - Not Rated & 7522
Jaskier shushes him, hand on Geralt’s arm. “If we don’t do it now, when will we? I’m not ashamed. We have nothing to hide.”
He is proud of how his voice doesn’t waver.
Or, Geralt and Jaskier make the decision to publicly come out.
a voice of music in the rustling of the leaves, by tumtummeke - T & 7213
Geralt and Jaskier get attacked by a group of bandits. Jaskier gets hurt, and when Geralt grabs him and flees the scene, he leaves Jaskier’s lute behind. That turns out to be a shit decision.
Featuring: pining Geralt, owns-several-brain-cells Yennefer, and non-human Jaskier. Not featuring: canon.
unseen, by nervawkward - M & 26170
Here, now, time holds no meaning for him. He exists only in this moment: an arrow let loose with careless fingers, hoping for a target. He cannot stop. Lungs heaving, thighs burning with strain, he cannot stop. Stop and he will be caught. Be caught and he might as well die. He has not fought this long and this hard to die now.
After the mountain, Jaskier is captured and experimented on by a Mage of Nilfgaard. Somehow, he escapes. Now if only he could bring himself to believe it.
(i just need this aside to say that this fic is hands down one of my faves i read it like 2 months ago and i still think about it)
