Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls 2/16, There’s The Rub, The Part Where Paris and Rory Are SuperMegaGay And All Is Right With The World Again, Part 6

Paris just saved Rory's hide from the wrath of Dean (okay, she still got plenty of wrath from Dean, unfortunately, but it could have been a lot worse) and this is why Paris is my favorite Boyfriend, not Jess.

You can read parts 1-5 and all previous episodes here.

Omg, my cynical, cold, black heart can't take this tenderness. I love them so much. Long live PariMore! (finally thought of a ship name! woot!)

One of the most serious crimes commited by one miss AmyShermanPalladino in writing a Year in the Life is not taking advantage of the freedom of Netflix and the much more progressive year of 2016 by having Paris get a divorce at the same time that Rory is lost and adrift in her life and finally put these two idiots together. But no. They still didn't find each other and live happily ever after and Rory is still shacking up with Logan even when it's clear that neither Paris or Rory actually like men.

By golly. This is 2002, they said. It can't be done, they said. And yet, PariMore proved us wrong. They went super duper ultra mega gay. Netflix and Chill gay. Slumber party gay. Super Gay Fanfiction!

"Sort of."

Staaaaaaaaahpppppp!! 😭 We interrupt Super Duper Gay Lesbian Slumber Party and cut to Lorelai and Emily having a night on the town after their spa day. They meet a handsome older gentleman at the bar who offers a dance to Emily. In a shocking turn of events that further proves this episode comes from some alternate dimension where all is right with the world with the exception of Dean Forrester, Lorleai happily becomes her mother's wingwoman after some small initial resistance. Are you ok, Lorelai? Do you feel feverish? You haven't nagged, cockblocked, offered unsolicited advice, or butted into anyone's business in like, a whole 30 minutes. This episode has such great Lorelai and Emily banter, like Emily telling Lorelai "You let me get 60/40'd" and "Hookers eat at bars." "Only if they can't get a table." Terrific! But the handsome gentleman gets a little too close, Emily feels guilty about dancing with him and that puts the kibosh on that and Emily blames Lorelai for making her feel like a cheap floozy. Geez Lorelai, I guess you can't win. You're insufferable when you're being a cockblocking menace to society, but then when you actually do relax a little bit and alllow people do as they please, you get the business. Emily wonders why she can't have what Rory and Lorelai have and I don't know if a deeply fucked up mother daughter relationship forged from a teen pregnancy where the 34 year old mother is still about 15 maturity wise is something you want to aspire to. Rory reading the check in forms at her therapist's office 5 years from now: Form: "Reason for appointment?" Rory: "Hmmm..." Lorelai to Emily at the hotel: Rory and I are best friends, Mom. Best friends first, and mother and daughter second! (Rory in her therapist's office: "Ah. There it is.")

There are so many times Lorelai is this - close to having a breakthrough, where she exhibits a fleeting moment of self awareness then poof, it is gone. She didn't pause to think about the implications behind admitting "I'm my daughter's friend before her mother." She will never learn or grow or change. Oh well, that's our Lorelai!

Listen, stop the feuding, you both get a trophy for Sucking At Parenting. Is there any hope for Rory's spawn to break this generational curse? It would be interesting if Rory's future child turned out to be a boy, because like, I have to wonder what creative and different ways she could manage to fuck up a son? (as with everything I'm sure this exists as a work of fanfiction somewhere). Lorelai thinks spending a whole weekend with her mother was too intense and they should have started with something smaller to patch their relationship and grow closer. What is her idea? No, not therapy. Petty theft. They steal the robes from their hotel room. Yay, mother and daughter bonding and not healing any trauma whatsoever!

No, never. Only if it's a box of cornstarch, a boat, or another woman's husband. Emily enjoys the robe stealing caper, some sarcastic quips are exchanged, and the desperate, aching, deep seated emotional trauma being suffered by both parties is once again shoved down deep deep inside to fester like an infected wound.

She's totally fine you guys. We cut to Rory and Lorelai at the diner the next day where Rory is giving Lorelai the run down of the previous events, presumably minus the super duper mega gay sexual tension between herself and Paris. Lorelai remarks that Paris looked nauseous and tired when she woke up in the morning, which Rory attributes to a sugar overload, but we know better. We know how dehydrating all-night Blockbuster & Chill lesbian makeout slumber parties can be.

Oh right, Rory committed the felony of spending one evening with someone other than Dean so now she "owes" him her time. She is talking about it with a level of excitement in her voice akin to someone who was just asked to scrub a toilet. Of course, there could not be a mention of Dean without a deeply troubling response from Lorelai. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Surely it will be something like, “Aw honey, he just yelled at you because he loves you” or something.

Eh, close enough.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! It gets worse! There's only a minute left in the episode! How does she do it, folks? She is truly breathtaking. Before we get there, let's enjoy some Literati bliss. Rory is catching on that the whole Food Delivery thing may have been a ruse from Jess to get all up in her bizzzness and almost pries the truth out of Luke, but Jess diverts Luke away from the scene. Jess and Rory then enjoy an incredibly rare, blissful moment together, free of interruptions, alone at the counter. Or so they think.

Sorry I almost called you a naive woodland fairy when I thought you still didn't get that Luke never actually told Jess to bring to food your house and USA here cooked up the whole scheme on his own. It's clearly Jess who's the naive one if he thinks you're actually going to pay for your food! Ha ha!

WAAAAATTT???!!! #AlternateDimensionEpisode #EpisodeFromOuterSpace #TheOneWhereTheGilmoresPayForTheirFood #IsAmyShermanPalladinoOK?

SOMEONE (two someones) are not happy about this budding, adorable relationship, one so stinking cute that you'd have to be sick to try to destroy it. Like someone who would try to stop a bunny and a puppy from cuddling. Gee, wonder who I'm talking about?

Just normal Butthead Business, staring into windows while people are trying to eat. We already know from prior Window-Peeping episodes this doesn't bother Lorelai in the least. Lorelai smiles sweetly at her ShnookyUkkums Dean as if 30 seconds ago she wasn't hearing a story from her daughter about his anger issues for the 400th time. He's also talking in his usual miserable serial killer monotone about "Spending the day with Rory" like he'd rather be sticking his arm into heavy machinery than spend time with her, and again I have to wonder why he is even bothering with her, other than the fact that she's an easy victim and that no other humanoid woman besides Lorelai would ever give this soggy cornflake the time of the day. L: Rory told me everything that happened last night. She feels terrible about it. You shouldn't feel bad. It was a "Freaky unfortunate thing that happens." She continues in her soft, flirty, gentle Talking to Dean voice, "It had nothing to do with Jess coming over, trust me, she did not want him there!" Um. Again, a very weird thing to say about Some Kid to the guy your daughter is dating? Thanks to one of my followers who pointed out that Rory never said this on camera which means Lorelai has now resorted to flat out lying to Dean in order to sabotage her daughter's friendship (and it's still only a friendship) with Jess.

Look alive Butthead. She's salivating. I think she's about to start humping your leg right there in front of Luke's Diner. Don't make me turn the garden hose on you Lorelai. Dean isn't listening or aware he's about to be humped. He's distracted. There's something he's incredibly concerned about. Rory and Jess....they're talking. To each other. In public. Now, Gilmore Girls knows how to do creepy. We've got plenty of stories of people stalking, eavesdropping, hiding in bushes, leaving excessive amounts of messages, Dean existing, yada yada. But this is easily one of the creepiest things to ever happen on this show. It seriously gives me the chilly willies. The eeby jeebies. The eepy creepies. They look like two villains who have joined evil forces to devestate....Lorelai's own freaking daughter.

Picture ID: Lorelai and Dean watching Rory and Jess have an innocent conversation creepily through a window, cementing their status as the villains in this wholesome drama known as Gilmore Girls. *deep shudder*

Hello, Jelly! have a pleasant day ahead, sweetie 🥰

anyway, can I please request a one-shot in a Canon! setting where the reader who is Levi's beloved wife is having a picnic kind-of tea date with Levi in his day off. They talked about a lot of things which are kind of so sweet and romantic 💗

Thank you !!! 🫶🏻

@kenkopanda-art <3

A little picnic

Levi x fem!reader

Canon world, romance, married, fluff, date time, cute, Levi has cleaning issues, reassuring Levi

You take your husband on a cute date and make a little picnic for him to try and get him to relax.

@ladycheesington @levisbrat25 @nyxiieluna @li-anne @galactict3a @youre-ackermine @thebobaprincess @2moth-anon2 @cypidity @nbinairyn @bts-spnlvr12 @notgoodforlife @demonic-bird

A cute deep growl came from Levi as he walked behind you. It was sweet how he had mixed feelings about the day. If Levi had a choice, he would stay in bed with you all day long. However, you said you didn't want to spend your day off locked up in the house. You wanted to have a nice day out with the man you loved so deeply.

So, here you were walking with him to a sweet spot so you could have a little picnic. You turned to him in your summer dress and softly smiled. "Is it that bad?"

"Hmm?"

You fiddled with the basket. "Going on a date with me?"

Levi hurried over to you and cupped your face. "No, no. Please don't read my grumbling wrong. Tch, I'm just being a shit that won't come." He kissed you lightly on the lips. "I love you, my darling. I guess...I just love snuggling with you in bed a lot."

You giggled. "I love it too and I love you."

He put his arm around you. "Come on. Let's take this grumpy idiot on a date, huh?"

You grinned at him. "You're a cute grumpy."

"Thank you." He looked over at a nice tree to sit under. "It's clean, right?"

"I have a blanket."

He blushed a little. "You think of everything, don't you?"

"I try." You led him to a nice spot under the tree and placed a blanket down. "Sit, my handsome man."

Levi sat down and hummed in happiness. "Comfy and it looks lovely."

You joined him on the blanket and placed the basket in front of the two of you. "Help yourself, my love."

He opened the basket and started getting out food and drinks for the two of you. He put everything out and smiled softly as you ate together. He shuffled closer to you and massaged your thigh. He leaned closer and kissed your neck a few times.

You hummed a little laugh. "Levi. Focus on your lunch."

"It's hard when you're so sweet and delicious. You're better than any tea in this world."

You wrapped your arms around Levi's neck and kissed him. "Thank you, you sweet and romantic goofball."

Levi slowly lowered you down to lie back. He kissed you over and over as his hands traced your curves. "How are you so perfect? I love you so much. I'm the luckiest man in the world to be married to you."

You tangled your fingers in his hair. "I'm the lucky one."

"Lunch was perfection, my darling."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it."

He lay on his side next to you. "I could happily do this for the rest of our lives."

You rubbed Levi's cheek and gazed into his eyes. "I hope we stay together forever. I hope that all this fighting ends."

Levi placed his hand on your hip. "It will. I'll make sure of it. We need a sweet home together to build a family and have a big garden to grow things in."

You hummed a laugh. "You're right. I believe in you and the scouts."

Levi pouted. "Mostly me."

"Yes, my love. Mostly you." You giggled and showered his face in kisses.

"Lady (Name), may I ask something?" Finrod started as he looked down on you. "Hmm?" you tilted your head at him, letting him know he has your attention. "Even thought I do not care much about my cousin's affair and I especially do not understand how you could love a feanorian despite knowing everything he had done," he explained. "If you're here to slander my romatic choices then move along blondie. I don't have all day," you frowned at him. "I'm not here to slander you," Finrod shook his head. "Then what are you on about?" you questioned.

"You do know you will not live forever in this world? My cousin, however, will remain in Arda till the rebirth of the world," Finrod exclaimed. "Yes… I'm quite aware," you replied. "You do not have much time in this life. You two were not meant to last an eternity. Are you really willing to put my cousin in a state of sorrow and pain after you death?" he questioned.

"Isn't that just the bigger reason to spend time together as much as possible?" you questioned. Finrod looked at you perpexled for a moment. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, making you sigh. "Okay, listen…" you started.

"Imagine this-- you're a human and your lover is an elf. How would you want to spend your last moments with them?" you questioned. Finrod thought about the answer. "Happily, I guess," he answered. You hummed. "I was frozen alive for several years. I should be dead yet I survived. It wasn't planned, me and my lover didn't get the chance to say goodbye because we didn't know that would be the last we get to even speak with each other and that really hurt them. I even suspect my sudden death is what led them there where they are now," you said.

"With this given chance, I want to make sure I make good memories with them. We live in a dangerous time so we never know when we would have to chance to feel, hug, kiss or even say I love you for the last time," you explained. "I'm not a big fan of tragic endings. I do not want our last moment together to be where we just seperate, leave things unsaid, cry about it and get called a tragedy. I know our last moment would be sad either way, but if we spend it wisely and make memories instead, then we can at least pass on without regrets," you said.

Finrod contemplated your words For a moment he was reminded of Aegnor and Andreth.

"I at least want my idiot to know that despite everything that had happened. I would have not loved someone else as much as I love them," you said. "So in better words, if we end up at the death's doors sooner than later, then our last moments is gonna be the biggest effing party, because then our last moment would have been a happy one," you added.

"And if you still have a problem with that? Get lost, blondie. You might be my beloved's cousin, but your opinion and so-called wisdom will not dictate how we are gonna spend our time together," you said and then left him with his thoughts.

He said nothing as you stormed off in a swirl of disrupted emotions, only replaying your defensiveness over the relationship between yourself and his dangerous cousin. While he worried for pain you were endlessly about to throw at his cousin, leaving him to swim in a pool of loneliness. Being told that it was not his business was the final straw to snap out his chain of thoughts, leaving him with a frown.

#♡{sweet.hugs} ~ {finrod}#silm imagines #finrod x you #finrod imagine #finrod x y/n #finrod ingoldo #finrod felagund #findarato #findaráto #house of finarfin #middle earth imagine

Fallout New Vegas Live-Blog Dead Money and Lonesome Road DLC

Dead Money:

I won't lie I'm a little cheater 😔

THIS DLC WAS HARRRRRDDDDD!!!!! I needed help keeping everyone alive so I used a guide.

The DLC felt like this:

I mistakingly entered this DLC extremely cocky because my game’s difficulty is Very Very Easy and I stocked up on everything.

( ×_×) WHICH ENDED UP NOT MATTERING BECAUSE I GOT KNOCKED OUT WITH GAS, ROBBED AND HAD AN EXPLOSIVE COLLAR PUT ON ME (AGAIN!!!)

What is with the Brotherhood of Steel members and explosive collars 💀 This is why I blew you guys up. Even when away from The Think Tank My Courier is having to deal with the messes they've created.

Those idiots are lucky she loves them.

My Courier is so tired (ᴗ_ᴗ ) . . . She followed the Sierra Madre radio because she hoped something there could help in the Battle of Hoover Dam or help her.

My Courier ends up being a KISS ASS and doing whatever these weirdos want so they all don’t die. Seriously they all are just one wrong move from killing her. She’s not pushing her 7 Luck Stat.

God: “Wonder what that humans insides would look like laid out over the fountain.”

Dean: “That tourist crosses me they’ll regret it even if they don’t they still might.”

Christine: *My Courier's 4 Perception Stat making it difficult to understand her*

My Courier balancing everything so they all don’t die, kill each other and finish the mission:

Thoughts on the characters:

DOG AND GOD’S ARC WAS SO SAD ( o̴̶̷᷄ _ o̴̶̷̥᷅ )!!!!!!

Hearing Dog say, " . . . die. Dog wants to die. Don't care anymore, tired of you, tired of place." MADE ME AN EMOTIONAL MESS!!!!

I was so happy I was able to fuse them into one: "Both were driven by need for the other. The Courier brought them together, somehow, joined the two into one."

THIS LINE FROM THEIR ENDING HITS SO MUCH HARDER AFTER BEATING LONESOME ROAD -> "The new voice did not think of the Courier again until the battle at the Divide reached his ears. The battle between the two couriers, beneath the torn skies and the Old World flag... each bearing a message for the other. And the mutant prayed the Courier that had saved him... had been saved in return."

DEAN DOMINO MY TRASH BESTIE!!!!

I love his line: "Now, it's like we're married with these big wedding rings around our necks."

Dean is awful. I've never seen a man with a more fragile ego but he gets to live because HE IS THE ONLY REASON MY COURIER GOT THROUGH THAT DLC!!!! Without his secret stashes and Sierra Madre Martini recipe I'd still be stuck on the Dead Money DLC.

My Courier doesn’t even normally drink but she was CHUGGING those Sierra Madre Martinis 😂😭

Also it matches My Courier's personality to accidentally befriend him since she has a lot of faith in people.

(ノ＾∇＾)ノIT'S SO SATISFYING WHEN HE CALLS YOU PARTNER AND MEANS IT!!!!!!!

Plus this entire conversation KILLED ME!!!

My Courier: " [Intelligence 6] Wait- I need to head to the door on your left or my left?"

I totally didn't go to the wrong door the first time and die.

DEAN IS THE ONE WHO SINGS SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVEEEEEEEE??!!!! WHAT?!?!?!

(〃^∇^〃)ゞ My Courier didn't put two and two together the entire time until his hologram played. So when she finally realizes she accidentally strokes his ego rambling about how she listens to him all the time.

Dean: "I know you didn't do it out of the good of your heart."

My Courier who did it so she wouldn't die but also because she cares: 🥺

Also Dean’s ending is REALLY funny to me.

Especially the line, “Shrugging it off, his mind turned instead to where the Courier had come from. Vegas still survived, out there in the Mojave. Its sights, sounds... and casinos, ripe for the taking.”

He’s going to roll up to New Vegas only to be happily greeted by My Courier surrounded by Securitrons. I like to imagine he becomes a famous performer in The Strip. Heck maybe with the Omertas dead he ends up taking over their Casino o(^∀^ o)!!!

I feel bad because I have no opinions on Christine.

Since I missed out on A LOT of lore killing the Brotherhood of Steel early on. Need to do a deep dive onto her character later. Her design is super awesome looking and I’m happy she lived.

IT WAS SO COOL REALIZING CHRISTINE IS THE PERSON FROM THE HOLO TAPES I FOUND IN BIG MOUNTAIN!!! ALSO CHRISTINE SAYING ULYSESS AND I ARE ALIKE 👀!!!!

(ง •̀_•́)ง The fight with Elijah was SUPER easy because I punched him off a cliff and he instantly died.

I feel like trapping Father Elijah in the vault is poetic justice but I don’t have the stomach for it.

Seriously the voice actor did an incredible job:

youtube

ALSO MY COURIER GRABBED 9 GOLD BARS TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN WAIT FOR HER!!!! I get why they didn’t but STILL!!!

(ง ˃̶͈̀ᗨ˂̶͈́)۶ The Sierra Madre was VERY interesting!!! Especially the lore behind it!!! Gameplay wise it was my least favorite out of all the DLCS.

Lonesome Road:

(⸝⸝⸝ ᵒ̴̶̷ ꇴ ᵒ̴̶̷)◞♥︎ With all the little clues throughout FNV this was the DLC I was MOST excited for!!!

I ruined my reputation with The Strip and NCR beforehand AND ULYSSES RECOGNIZED I WAS DOING THE YES MAN ROUTE!!! YAYYYY!!!!!!!!

Also I realized I've been pronouncing his name wrong this entire time. I've been saying it like E-D-E saying each letter out. It’s suppose to sound more like Eddie.

I LOVE ED-E!!!! ALSO THIS LINE FELT LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN FOR MY COURIER!!!!!

I listened to all of Ulysses' holo tapes and

AWUGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AHHHHHHH MY HEART!!!!!

"The White Legs... meant to show respect, bribe me for Caesar's favor, echoing mannerisms and words... Showed them tech caches, taught them the workings of chamber and powder, spoke of Caesar's pride in those that used such things... lies. And... ...and then... they tried to honor me - not the Legion.They brought me before the campfire one night, showed me how they changed themselves, how they wore their hair now. It was like my entire dead tribe in the firelight, teeth grinning red in the dark - eager corpses, blood-covered ghosts. They... had taken my braids, the way of the Twisted Hairs, as if it showed they were like me, of me... ...while every knot in their braids spoke of raping, violence - and ignorance of what the knots meant. They thought to show respect... defiled it. Lost myself in trying to read the braids they wove, when I remembered they had put no meaning in it. They had no history of what it meant. They didn't even know the insult in the twists, knots... and Dry Wells came rushing back, the White Legs circled like that... It was like looking at the dead of my tribe, reborn as ghosts - hateful, hungry, bowing to Caesar. Another history... gone, carried by me alone."

My Courier while listening to it:

When Ulysses took ED-E I was ready to go full Liam Neeson GIVE ME MY SON BACK!!!!!

THIS SCENE GOES HARDDDDD!!!!!

My Courier talking Ulysses down!!!!

I saw this conversation in the comments of a YouTube video (AND I'M SO MAD BECAUSE I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT VIDEO IT WAS AND ONLY HAVE SCREENSHOTS OF THE COMMENTS)!!!

I loved what they had to say:

Jacobnewell7845: "I feel like Ulysses respects you more if you do this path. You've not aligned with anyone, walked a different path than anyone, and yet have convinced him to stand besides you. You believe in nations, but you don't follow the ones that exist . . . this can only mean that you plan to found your own . . . and he respects that the most."

MadelineSawyer: "I honestly feel like the means you can talk him down like this path are a lot more meaningful, too. The ability to cite his definition of what makes a home, and how Couriers can build communities feels incredibly sympathetic to his perspectives. You're not telling him that he's misguided and why you think differently about changing symbol's meaning, you're telling him that you know what it means to build something as a fellow Courier, to build communities, homes and rather than laying wastes to echoes of the past. You're putting your trust in Ulysses as a fellow Courier, and he stands down, more reason to keep living despite having lost his hope previously. It hammers the poetic motif of The Two Couriers standing together at The Divide and shows that even a neutral Courier has values even if they don't follow a flag- the not all values need to be expressed conventionally. god I love new vegas."

ED-E'S SACRIFICE ( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ _ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )!!!!!!

I love that ED-E was able to pass on what My Courier had taught him to his counterpart in the Mojave.

“The Courier knew ED-E's history and could carry it, even if the Eyebot had forgotten."

I like to imagine during the entire Lonesome Road DLC small flashes of memories return to My Courier.

The smell, people's faces, the weight of the package she carried ETC. It's only after hearing Ulysses' Final Message she fully remembers.

To clarify she didn’t forget because she was shot in the head by Benny Gecko.

She couldn’t remember due to the depression fog from grieving. Delivering to The Divide was just another job to her. She was completely unaware of the impact her actions had there. She was a walking corpse that unintentionally brought death to The Divide.

Also while Ulysses said that this was their first time meeting. I have a headcanon that he meant it was their first time meeting as Couriers.

They met as little kids.

For this explanation to make sense I need to explain My Courier's childhood:

My Courier's mother was a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse while her father was a traveling merchant. That was until the work became too dangerous so he retired and became an NCR solider (like his father).

They lived in NCR territory until eventually her mother left. She wasn't happy and wanted to return to the Followers of the Apocalypse. She tried to take My Courier (who was only ten years old) with her but was stopped. My Courier was considered a citizen of the NCR. If her mother wanted to leave fine but My Courier had to stay. So her mother left without her. Her father at the time was on a mission. Unaware his wife was trying to leave with their children.

So my Courier lived in NCR territory to adulthood. Receiving an education while her father jumped the ranks. Until due to poor decision making by the NCR her father got killed.

It's why throughout the game she's sympathetic to those in the NCR who are screwed over by it. Killing The Fiends, retrieving Ranger Morales' corpse etc.

My Courier originally intended to join the NCR but after that it destroyed her faith in them. So she left and became a Courier.

She had an intense fascination with robots during her childhood. In the wasteland where danger exists around every corner to a child the thought of a powerful robot protecting you would be comforting.

She loved reading books, poster, magazines, and pamphlets about them. Anything she could get.

For My Courier reading and daydreaming about robots was an escape. So a city like New Vegas that's protected by robots she desperately wanted to live in.

It's why she was saving the money she earned through her Courier work (a dangerous job) in order to move to New Vegas. It also why during her Courier work she felt like she was alive but not living. So being saved by Victor felt like a second chance. The opportunity to make her life her own.

When her father was still traveling as a merchant he'd take the family with him. During that time her mother would spread the Followers of the Apocalypse message. Trying to help the tribes they encountered. Her mother would also translate for father who would do business with them.

One tribe they met was the Twisted Hairs. Her family only spent a few days with them. During that time My Courier played with Ulysses.

If you've ever seen the Bluey episode Camping featuring Jean-luc it plays out like that.

Innocent and unaware of the horrors they're about to face and one day inflict on each other.

While My Courier remembered playing with a boy from a tribe. She didn't realize it Ulysses until listening to his final message. Ulysses did remember it was her.

After listening to his final tape she finds him and they have a nice heart to heart.

Their relationship is interesting since instead of calling them friends. I'd describe it more as two people who are bound to each other by fate. Unable to separate even if they wanted to. She visits him regularly, always bringing supplies and worrying about him.

By all means do tell us about this agenda of yours

So it starts with Rhaenyra, as all things do in House of the Dragon. Now, Alicent and her totally had their friends to lovers arc interrupted (thanks a lot Viserys!) so she married Laenor. They each have their boyfriends. Queerplatonic relationship ties are established and children are had.

Depending on the fic, I usually make Jace Rhaenyra/Harwin's and Luke Laenor/Qarl's. I do not have a preference for Joffrey, but my completionist self likes for him to be Rhaenyra/Laenor's. All of them brunets with dark eyes, or purple eyes. Sometimes I just cannot resist the purple eyes okay?

Meanwhile, Laena and Daemon are off becoming their own married couple. I am lowkey in love with Baela and Rhaena as Not Twins who were each carried by a different parent.

In a world where Daemon is less of an idiot they settle on Driftmark eventually and start pseudo-swinging with Rhaenyra and her band of loyal knights. I say pseudo-swing because there is nothing that will make me ship Laenor/Laena. Just can't do it.

So we end up with our three additional Targaryens eventually: Aegon, Viserys, and Visenya. Visenya Lives because she's actually Daemon/Laenor's. Rhaenyra got to name her because by the seven she deserves to give someone that name! Most people assume she's Laena's. It's a mess, which everyone finds amusing.

Re-enter Alicent. Probably post-Viserys death. Maybe not. Depends on how annoyed I am with him that day tbh. Eventually! She gets with both Rhaenyra and Daemon, individually. They integrate her into the polycule. Laena is Laena and they have some lovely times together. Alicent isn't super comfortable with any of the dudes, with the occassional exception of Daemon, but really she's mostly with Rhaenyra. As she was always meant to be Viserys! They all live happily ever after in the Red Keep. Avoiding the Dance through sheer queer awesomeness.

Rhaenyra/Alicent/Laena is probably the most underrated ship in this entire poly I'm not gonna lie. I love it so much and one day I will figure out a near-canon-ish narrative for them.

I have exactly one fic that I have managed to figure out how to incorporate this entire behemoth of a ship into btw. Maybe~ two. Pieces of it are appearing in several fics though, because I love it that much.

There is a slightly less complicated polycule for rings of power in my head, but I don't have a chart for that. Yet.

#house of the dragon #hotd #rhaenyra targaryen #rhaenyra x alicent #rhaenyra x laenor #rhaenyra x laena #rhaenyra × daemon #rhaenyra × harwin #daemon x alicent #daemon × laena #daemon × laenor #laenor × qarl

Top 5 crack thoughts you’ve had

In general???? Because there's so many? Do dreams count because all my dreams are so so weird?

In the end, I decided to go with fic ideas that may get eventually written but probably will just live in my head

5. So I have a mammon x mc fic called Interlude which takes place between S1 & S2 and a kinda sequel to it called From the Other Side which takes place between S2 & S3. In the 2nd fic MC's got a better apartment because they've got a roommate who Mammon notes makes the apartment smell flowery, despite not being present in the fic. This roommate absolutely belongs to a cult of exorcists and every once in a while MC walks in to their flat to find a poor demon, angel or just any other supernatural being (sometimes it's just a plain old human) tied to a chair in their living room inside. MC reacts to this with their typical "My life is already so goddamned weird this might as well happen" attitude

4. Little Mermaid AU! Levi makes a deal with the sea witch (solomon) so he can go buy anime merch, he makes the deal despite the fact that 4 of his brothers who had previously gone to said sea witch for various reasons never returned home. Levi gets turned into a human and literall fish outta water shenanigans occur, he does make reluctantly make friends with a human (MC) who lives in the little beach side town. MC also has a particularly thieving crow friend

3. MC, Mammon, Beel & Levi go to comic con or something similar. Levi & Beel immediately split off, MC & Mammon stick together. The whole fic follows the three different storylines. Levi's trying to buy a very rare collectible item shit spirals outta control & he meets up in a rush with the others at the entrance saying they need to get outta there quick, clutching the box but also covered in bloody handprints and with ripped clothes. Beel ends up in some kinda eating or taste testing competition but ends up going overboard and happily eating objects that human beings definitely cannot eat, he too ends up at the entrace needing to quickly run from the place. Mammon & MC notice people lots of people looking at Mammon & eventually realise they live in a world where Wizardess Heart (created, unknown to them, by Simeon) is a MUCH bigger deal - meaning Zeus Brundle is MUCH more commonly recognisable - the two of them then get together to Scheme™. And yes they too end up having to run from the angry masses

2. Human AU? Where Lucifer is the long suffering single father of his 7 kids (Lilith included). I imagine it having a very Malcolm in the Middle-esque vibe? Lois & Lucifer are so close to being the exact same character. This has been rotating in my head for a whole year - so many of the malcolm in the middle scenes would fit with the brothers😭

1. I actually wrote this one and after Certified Idiots (which is mammon x mc) it's got the most kudos which I'm stupidly proud of : Harley asks Batman to be her bridesmaid when she marries Ivy. One of my favourite comments & one that has stuck with me for years is from this fic where the person said the fic played in their head like a demented cartoon which yeah that was absolutely the vibe I was going for

#asks #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me!#shall we date? obey me!#swd obey me #shall we date obey me #swd obey me!

9 people you would like to get to know better

Tagged by @renlyslittlerose, apologies for the delay, this has been sitting in my drafts for ages now 😅

1. 3 ships:

Obikin - I. Am. Obsessed. With these two idiots. My current hyperfixation with Obikin started in the run up to the Kenobi series when I went back and rewatched the prequels and TCW (weirdly Obikin as a ship didn't register for my poor oblivious bisexual arse when the prequels came out). They're equals, more intimate than lovers, two halves of a whole warrior, they spend a lot of their time together bickering like an old married couple. Ahsoka refers to them as her parents in TCW season 7. Where there is one, the other is not far behind. I'm sure it was @/gffa who wrote a meta about how (whether you view their relationship as platonic or romantic) Obi-Wan Kenobi IS the love of Anakin Skywalker's life. To me they are the Star Wars ride or die. They ended tragically in life (in canon). They lived happily ever after as force ghosts. The love was there... 😭. I am Unwell about them.

Ineffable Husbands/Wives/Spouses - An Angel and a Demon. Hereditary Enemies. Unapologetically queer. The Autistic + ADHD ship. The angel is a fussy hedonist who will cut a bitch if they damage his books. The demon is genderfluid and serves cunt on a regular basis (especially at the crucifixion). 6000 glorious, frustrating years of pining. Bad. At. Their. Jobs. Just fuckin' kiss already (heheh, yeah that didn't work out so well 😅).

Thoschei - The Doctor and The Master. They were never married. They're divorced. They're childhood sweethearts. They've killed each other at least twice. They change genders like most people change socks. They should've fucked (you can tell I have a thing for enemies to lovers, right? 🤣). They've both destroyed their own civilisation at least once. Whenever The Master shows up you never know if they're gonna kill each other or fuck nasty (or both). For once brief shining moment (Twelve x Missy, World Enough And Time) they could've been more. Again, they have this tragic thread of "it shouldn't have ended like this, but it did". Unlikely to have a happy ending ever (unless through the pages of fanfic).

Special shout out to: Rebelcaptain (my other SW ride or die), Mulder x Scully (see below), Ventrobi (what? I'm a multishipper, and these two are constantly flirting every time they fight. They totally fucked after Revenge), Blackbonnet, and Catradora.

2. first ever ship:

Mulder and Scully - I shipped these two before I even knew what shipping culture and fandom was. I remember 10 y/o me watching the first episode of The X Files (and being shit scared to fall asleep for months because I was scared aliens were gonna abduct me lol 👽) and just being hooked on the series. And as the series progressed I became hooked on these two and their partnership. My OG ride or die ship, they are the reason that most of my other ships have that ride or die, banter and bicker like an old married couple, best friends, equals, you cannot find one without the other, no one understands me like this person understands me vibe.

3. last song:

Cat Pierce - You Belong To Me

4. last movie:

Barbie.

Finally watched it last night. Currently have I'm Just Ken stuck in my head 💖

5. currently reading:

Dune by Frank Herbert.

I am. Obsessed. After watching the 2021 film - it's probably my most watched comfort film atm.

6. currently watching:

Loki, GBBO, Strictly Come Dancing, Ahsoka (rewatch), SW Prequels. After question 2 I'm wondering if it's time for an X Files rewatch.

7. currently consuming:

Mint and lime iced green tea (tastes better than it sounds) and rice pudding.

8. currently craving: Chicken noodle soup from my local Chinese takeaway.

I tag: anyone who wants to have at it because I am crap at the tagging lol 😆💖

Oh you know what I’m gonna ask— OBIKIN FOR THE SHIP ASKS

QUELLE SUPRISE! 😂 Thanks so much 💖

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: Techincally 2005 right out of the theatre but it was sort of a low-key kind of shipping when you like something but you're not actively seeking the content for it. My second rewatch of the Clone Wars changed everything. Thank you, 2020.

My thoughts: As a ship it has everything you can possibly want. Friends to Lovers. Idiots to Lovers. Lovers to Enemies. Enemies to Lovers. Setting each other on fire. Trying to kill each other. Decades of history between them. Its got 'oh my god they were roommates' vibes. Its got "hot for teacher" vibes. Defining their relationship is impossible, which is what makes it so good. Its got drift compatibility and dyad vibes. It has absolution, ON BOTH SIDES. What more can you want from a ship? What other ship can do what they've done?

It's also just sexy as fuck. This ship can fit so much kink in it. It's got so many haters and that's why it's hot. If your ship is not deemed problematic in some way it's just not sexy enough.

What makes me happy about them: Everything about them.

What makes me sad about them: Everything about them.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: There's a specific take on Obi-Wan, where he is just very soft and sweet and kind and sugary and needs to be protected and it makes me gag. I don't have time for it. Like, if that's your jam, have fun but it's not mine. As far as I'm concerned, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a bossy mean bitch who will kick your ass and snark at you the entire time. He's kind and wise but he is not nice.

Also I bail the minute I see someone having Obi-Wan call Anakin "Ani". No.

Things I look for in fanfic: If they're not orbiting around each other like two violent stars, what's the point? I want them obsessed with each other and making it everyone else's problem. Obi-Wan Kenobi Series was a gift in that respect.

My wishlist: A world where Mustafar didn't happen because Obi-Wan dommed the hell out of Anakin and he was getting the touch, attention, and correction he wanted/needed.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't know if we saw the same movies but I'm pretty sure they do end up with each other at the end of RotJ.

But Padmé has rights, I guess. To both either them 😏 Anidala and Obidala my belovèds 😌

My happily ever after for them: 😌 living happily ever after together for an eternity in the Force 😌

Wangxian fic recs pt2

(Part 1 here)

some life yet unspent by Fahye

Lan Wangji wasn't privy to the conversations that took place among Yiling staff, but there was always an apologetic, tense edge to the tech's voice when someone else took over his missions. As if Wei Ying had put the fear of God into them if they let anything happen to Lan Wangji when Wei Ying was not personally available to oversee him.

"Something like that," Mianmian told him. "Anyway, it's not like there's anything for either of you to be jealous over. None of the other agents prefer him."

Really cool fic with spy missions and tech and love of course. Loved it.

The Fire Lapping Up the Creek by notevenyou

Wei Wuxian travels to Lanling for his nephew’s one-month celebration alone, without Wen Ning.

Lan Wangji lives with the consequences.

Loved it so much!! Fix it fic of sorts and boy they really did fix it.

boyfriend material by ricken

Lan Xichen would do anything if it meant his brother was happy, which is what lead him to eavesdropping on the Jiang brothers as they discussed their requirements for a partner.

Or; Lan Wangji attempts to woo an already infatuated Wei Ying using bad pickup lines, and a few more things.

Loved this a completely normal amount. I'm weak for idiots in love. Aaaaaa. It really was like "wwx: oh if only Lan Zhan knew how much he meant to me" and then cut to smth like "lwj: I can only gaze at the love of my life from the distance. If only he knew."

you're the only thing i think i got right by sandustorms (lucianclouds)

Life was fine until the hurricane of Yu Ziyuan came crashing into his desk on a boring Wednesday morning and said, “Get up, Wei Wuxian. You’re getting married.”

Marriage is a very foreign concept to Wei Wuxian.

Ohhhh sweet sweet arranged marriage that just hits all the right spots

The Absolutely True Story of the Yiling Patriarch: A Manifesto in Many Parts by aubreyli

Wei Wuxian’s hand jolts, spilling a drop of wine onto the tabletop. “Love?” he croaks, then clears his throat and tries again. “Lan Zh— uh, Hanguang-jun, in love?”

“Have you not heard the story?” the other young woman asks, looking pitying. “You must, it is a truly heartrending tale of star-crossed romance and mutual pining — go to any storyhouse in town, everyone has been requesting a reading of this book.”

“There’s a book?” Wei Wuxian says blankly.

In which the junior disciples (namely, Lan Jingyi, Ouyang Zizhen, and a reluctant Lan Sizhui) turn to RPF in an attempt to rehabilitate Wei Wuxian's reputation so that he and Hanguang-jun can get together and get married and live happily ever after. It's... surprisingly effective.

Hqnguang-jun is in love? Yeah bitch, with you 😭😭😭 amazing fic with juniors making things happen

Deeper grows my longing by feyburner

Jiang Cheng stared at him. “How are you this dense,” he said flatly. “Wei Wuxian. The common people aren’t scared of you, they’re scared of your husband."

“My what,” said Wei Wuxian.

Short and very very good one.

I'm Going Out (Gonna Make A Name For Me And You) by cosmicmilktea

The Chief Cultivator's Herald. Wei Wuxian is not quite sure when they started calling him that, but as he traipses through beleaguered towns and villages, as he finally starts to build the world that he and Lan Zhan have always vowed to build, he finds that he doesn't mind it so much.

He doesn't mind being anything at all, as long as he is Lan Zhan's.

Wei Wuxian goes where the chaos is in Lan Wangji's stead, and finds a home in the process.

Aaaa such a lovely fic

this river runs to you by sundiscus

Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.

He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.

In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

Ohhhhh such a great story with dragons!!!

puzzle pieces by Yuisaki

“Sorry, I, uh. Laundry day caught up to me before I could catch up with it. I saw this shirt left in the washer a few days ago, and—“ Wei Ying blinks up at Lan Zhan through dark eyelashes that he wants to kiss, maybe, and gives him an uncharacteristically hesitant smile. “Do you mind?”

I mind the fact that we are not married, Lan Zhan thinks.

Wei Ying keeps borrowing Lan Zhan’s clothes. It is only mildly driving him insane.

Just pure fluff to melt your heart aaaa

Battle Chefs by sami

BATTLE CHEFS IS COMING!

by Qin Su

The new season of Battle Chefs is upon us, and once again I will be recapping every episode. Join us to discuss the latest season of everyone's favourite video-game-themed cooking contest!

Wen Qing is returning as the Referee and Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli will be our Players for the PvP section once again. Raid Boss Wei Ying is sure to make things interesting as always, and the trailers for this season promised us new heights of drama and excitement.

They honestly could have just promised us pretty. It's going to be great!

Never have I watched any cooking show ever, but this was delightfully entertaining. Had absolutely no idea what foods they were making but I was living babes.

Ghosts Shouldn’t by ShanaStorytrller

Wei Wuxian's spirit lingers.

Oh Wei Wuxian’s ghost... is it really? Hehe loved this fic <3

these colours fade for you only by doodlebutt

What if, before Wen Chao found Wei Wuxian in Yiling, Lan Wangji went looking for him?

What if...

"Tell me who did this to you."

"Aiya, Lan Zhan, I really don't know what you're -- ah!"

Lan Zhan tugged hard on the blue line that bound them together, and Wei Wuxian all but flew across the room, crashing into the bed with a pained groan and sinking to his knees on the floor. He supposed, slightly hysterically, that this must be something like what Jiang Cheng had felt when he had hit Wei Wuxian with all the force of a biting insect the day after his rescue.

"You have no spiritual energy."

"Haha, Lan Zhan, that's funny, because actually it's just that I --"

"You have no golden core."

This diverges from MDZS canon rather than CQL (so no yin iron, etc)

Title from Sunlight by Hozier (which is SUCH a wangxian song it actually causes me pain)

Loved this so much aaaa! Love!

the fair and the brave and the good must die, by Lise

Rumor carries word of a ghost in Yiling to Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji follows.

(Years after Wei Wuxian's death, Lan Wangji reunites with him on a night hunt.)

Just Get a Room!, by Azura_lights_18

"Huaisang what the hell?"

"What you asked me for a top?"

“Yeah and I meant a t-shirt. What about long, sexy, screams fuck me does this say?”

“Lan Zhan is tall, sexy and when he saw your picture basically screamed fuck me so…”

diamonds are wei wuxian's worst enemy, by thefaceofno

Lately he's been expecting Lan Zhan to tell him that he wants something real, something that’s more than just convenience between two people who work in the same office and carpooled before they even started sleeping together because Wuxian’s apartment is just over the road from Lan Zhan’s, more than two people who are seeing each other because the other is close and easy.

Lan Zhan looks up at him. If today is the day – Wuxian isn’t prepared.

“I want to get married.”

Oh.

Well. Lan Zhan’s uncle is always telling him he has to get married, telling him about prospective wives and husbands, but Lan Zhan has denied them all until now. He hasn’t told Wuxian why or how he managed to get his uncle off of his back. Wuxian wants to ask what changed, why Wuxian isn’t enough for him anymore, but he doesn't know if he's allowed.

"Okay."

aka the fic where wei wuxian accidentally helps plan his own wedding.

A Jealous Flower Tries To Break The Sun's Silver Moon, by Preludian_Staves (12 chapters)

Believing his mother when she said that no good son of a servant owed everything to the Jiang Sect, Jiang Wanyin tries to guilt Wei Wuxian into giving him his Golden Core after finding Wen Qing's Golden Core theory.

Wei Wuxian learns how to rediscover his place in the Cultivation World during the Sunshot Campaign and after the War. Possibly with help along the way.

A Breath Held in Suspense Will Always Lead To An Exhale of Relief, by wolfsharingan15

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan are happily living in the Burial Mounds with the Wens and are raising Wei Yuan in, more or less, contented bliss. Things couldn’t have been going better. In fact, on one such occasion, Wen Ning and Lan Zhan left to go greet Jiang Cheng, Jin Yanli, and Lan Xichen. However, when Wei Ying’s barrier crumbles with a threat of a surprise attack from a rogue cultivator. Wei Ying quickly spurs into action to protect his home.

Diamond in the ruff, by orphan_account

Jin Ling's spiritual dog, Fairy, is pawsitively amazing... and it turns out there's a rather suprising reason for that. When Fairy's real identity is revealed, Jin Ling and the rest of the junior squad embark on a search for answers, and a place in the world for their new friend.

Celebration, by Befallings

Father's Day (For both of us?), by Shadoak_uwu (5th in a series)

"Oh yeah, I did say about I'm giving birth to someone. There is no way people will believe that, Sheesh." Replied Wei Wuxian, clicking his tounge in disbelief.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, Wei Wuxian but you are the master of doings the impossible! If Lan Qiren hear you can give birth, he will be one hundred percent believe it, idiot! Mind your words, without context, people will get the wrong idea!" Scolded Jiang Wanyin, lecturing the heck out Wei Wuxian who was pouting, unhappy that he got scolded.

Lan Wangji is not Jealous (So he join them), by Shadoak_uwu (6th in a series)

"You are staring, Lan Zhan! What, do you want to hug Xuan-ge too??? Tell us, Lan er-gege!" giggled Wei Wuxian, shamelessly flirting with the tall male in front of them.Jin Zixuan swore he want to smack Wei Wuxian for offering the tall man to join their cuddling session. He was not ready to die again.

Lan Wangji scoffed as he want to deny it but then, He stared at Jin Zixuan again. Everyone was shocked when the tall Lan replied to Wei Wuxian offer with a single statement,

"Mn, I will. " And walked away. Jiang Wanyin slowly closed his door and stared at the others in disbelief.

Unfinished

Teen:

What has long been concealed, by Gaby007

The Burial Mounds change everything falling in their grasp, Wei Wuxian is well-placed to know it. Lan Wangji is rather nonplussed when he learns his beloved's secret yet seizes the opportunity to finally bring the Yiling Patriarch to Gusu and keep him safe.

Now, he just has to keep Wei Ying hidden from the cultivation world, and maybe he will get to learn some secrets of the Lan sect as he does.

The Passion of the Cut Sleeve, by Afriendlyenigma

Raised in a strict traditionalist family, Lan Zhan lets his uncle's many rules guide his adult life, giving structure and meaning in the places where a thick fog of loneliness threatens to choke him.

But just when he thought he had accepted his calm but empty existence, a gust of wind and a ray of sunshine comes along to clear away the mist, revealing that he had been somewhere beautiful all along, by someone more beautiful even than the exquisitely embroidered sleeve of his finest heirloom silk robe...

Rabbit Charm, by aoeros

“You gotta promise me that when you’re back home and settled in, I’ll be the first you come to see. Because I’m going to miss you more than anyone else will, Lán Zhàn. Except your brother, of course.”

“Of course. I promise to come find you first after I’ve settled back in.”

“Great! Then I promise to call you whenever I can. And, I will definitely not forget you.”

catch and release (and catch again), by Gaez (bell_flowers)

Before he can even puzzle out what’s happened he’s falling. Falling but still holding Lan Zhan’s hand. Still holding Lan Zhan’s hand because Sandu has severed Lan Zhan’s wrist.

(Lan Zhan was not supposed to catch him. He most certainly wasn’t supposed to follow Wei Wuxian over the cliff.)

The Hate and Love of family, by Moonlit_dewdrops

Wei Wuxian gets sent home after the fight with Jin Zixuan. Jiang Cheng is right to have worried.

this moment, worth keeping, by OrdinaryRealities

Here With Me, by iamwish

Wen Qing finds him on the roof of where he’s been staying, nursing a jar of Sishu’s wine. “Wei Wuxian! What are you doing up there?” Wei Wuxian hasn’t had nearly enough wine to get tipsy, let alone drunk enough for his words to slur, but he slurs them anyway for nostalgia. “What if Lan Zhan doesn’t fall in love with me?” - Wei Wuxian finds himself in the past, a few months before the Gusu Lan lectures, and decides that his best shot at hiding his trauma fixing the future is faking his own kidnapping and asking Wen Qing who all he needs to kill before she or someone she trusts is in charge of QishanWen. Clearly, he thought this through. Or: Wei Wuxian creates a No War!AU, and then he has to live in it.

Baby Whisperer Wei Wuxian, by Preludian_Staves

Thanks to his ability of soothing children everywhere he goes, Wei Wuxian accidentally acquires a child during the Cloud Recesses study arc and it changes things in how he interacts with the Lan Sect.

Friendship Is A Saw Worth Keeping, by DevieKlutz

Lan Wangji has a quiet life full of routine and he is content with that until a loud, chaotic new neighbor starts borrowing his things, using power tools at inexplicable times, and doing all the things Lan Wangji always thought would annoy him. He IS annoyed. That's definitely why his heart rate always escalates when he sees his new neighbor. That's the only reason.

He is wrong of course.

Our son's situation is dire and this is no act and we're not putting it close on purpose he's in trouble he doesn't have money he doesn't have a source of income other than social security and it's been a pain in the ass every month. This month was horrible we had trouble with it granted we got rid of a lot of idiots, it is worth the effort and he says we will retail efforts there and we like that and we have a lot of work to do in that department and it's going to make it easier because it forces us to but the situation is dire it's dangerous here you got two murders idiots each side they're out of control all the times and they're like wild cards and they're threatened to get all sorts of forests in here and they're playing is going to park completely and they don't seem to want to move them out even though they're harming their plan and ruining their lives and stuff these people here are living in a successful and don't seem to mind and I don't want our son to go down the drain because they're a bunch of losers he's had ideas and they work we have ideas that are going to deploy them now and his are okay and he's a youngster and we should know that he said and we took it to heart and looked at it and we're doing it now and he's really pushed to do a lot of stuff that's very helpful and huge and effective and Big ideas it works but we have our own and they work as well and he needs us to do it he says, he doesn't want to go near the damn hospital or hear them making fun of him or any of this stuff they're doing and we're going to have to start ripping the s*** out of them all day long and he says it's of course possible to do and we probably will start doing that today because of trump what a freaking a******. And it says the danger level is very high because of tunnels but I'll add to it the tunnels are huge the full of water they're hard to navigate and it takes time and we don't have that much time sometimes to get around we need to move faster we need bigger creatures as they can move faster and we have to do it now and we're not doing it and it's an emergency he has practically no food all the time it's a ride out there and it's bicycle or put up with people threatening to poison it every few seconds it is getting ridiculous and we're not doing it and we say we can't and I know why and I understand it but really these people are a bunch of jerks and they need out the biggest problem is the morlock and we're not handling that it were be behind we're always stand behind. I don't want to hold a meeting never just sit there and looks at each other I want people to get together information that says why we're behind and what's the holdup on there's us or them and I want to State it what it is I'm getting our stuff in and we have stuff to get in here it's not in and you know what it is and let's get it let's get that together for a meeting and I'll set it up and send it out and my son and daughter say let's make it a happy meeting it's a happy occasion when we come together from afar even though it does not a far right now it's kind of a far in our minds where we're not getting together on things where we should so imagine it's the meeting you're from Ireland and he's all the way in Norway and also in America and Uriel and goddess wife in Asia and you all have to come together to the snowy place up there in Norway and to meet in the Great Hall it takes you the hours to get there for this meeting to talk about the entire world and solar system and universe and what's holding up what we agreed to do and why and if some of us have issues will happily accept the duty to help you and if someone is stuck we need to know why and if we're just not moving ahead because we don't see what the path is and we're not clear and concise on what the plan is or we disagree with it it's a great time to come together and fellowship and happiness with their head up high proud that we're getting it done for our people in US that's what we want you to think of it like

They began laughing and said okay we're getting out of the way

They ran to the side that wasn't launched and left and I thought that was really weird and it was and people watching and they told me what it was and they removed the devices the rest of them and said we wanted to see you go so he's safe and now we see that he's in charge he told us to move and we move the like a trick but I'm trying to get something this place is our doom. They wouldn't listen and they were put down and brought to the incinerator what's going on that way everyday usually they don't get that close but they are doing a lot of threats everywhere some of them sparked up and figured out there disposed of and they started mad and told him this is I really have information what else weird I've never experienced that behavior we told one of them was four really and he said okay and what's for us I said you had an opportunity to do it and you blew it almost on purpose cuz you want to just spew and spew and be an a****** to our kids and run around town the assholes you're not doing anything you're here with the leaders and I said well really the secret job he said we suck at her job this is what we were supposed to do about that this is nothing I guess it looked how he felt sorry for himself so I guess I'm a simple person said no you said you had an opportunity to build housing and things like that he'll still want to do that off to Australia and you get your ass kicks off to Russia and get your ass kids we're not going to be anyway yeah like for real cuz of Tommy f.

I'm sorry but i'm addicted to our boy Spamton- I have a little unique request here. So this takes place where Spamton just moves in the Queen's mansion, he meets the reader and immediately falls for their kind words and gestures. Weeks pass, and he goes to see them, but catches them talking and hanging out with Swatch.. He gets really jealous to the point of changing his style to match Swatch's

"Oh [y/n]! Have You Met Our Newest Guest?"

"Uh, I don't believe-"

"He's An Interesting Addison Who Made A Big Name For Himself! Ohohoho!" Queen laughed joyously, pausing to sip her glass of battery acid. "I Wonder How He Got So Rich...No Matter. As My Peon, I Order You Greet Him......Whenever It's Convenient For You."

"Sure thing. I'll go now." With a respectful nod, you set off to the mansion's guest chambers to meet this newcomer. You've lived here for a long time--and somewhat reluctantly since Queen decided to make you one of her peons one day. But life was actually pretty good.

It wasn't like you had anything better to do, so if she needed someone to help her with plans that..didn't seem all-that urgent, you'll offer your assistance. She let you stay in the mansion for free and never made you do anything if you weren't feeling up to it.

For a tyrannical ruler she was rather kind.

Yet you didn't wanna take advantage of her hospitality, so you'd just listen to whatever she says. And if she wants you to meet this celebrity as part of her endless lists of requests, then you'll happily oblige. But you were eager too since you've seen his face on TV a lot. It felt like an honor.

After wandering the corridors of deactivated puzzles, Mona Lisa-esque portraits, and meticulously-placed pottery, you finally arrived at the guest rooms. You hummed a small tune as you passed by each one, stopping when you noticed one door was open.

Peeking inside, you saw the Addison still setting up things. A phone was tucked between his shoulder and ear as he moved a box whilst rambling to whoever was on the other end of the line.

"Yea! I promise I won't let you down, okay? Soon I'll be bigger than ever before! I know I'm already a big shot but....haha, yeah, I shouldn't get carried away. Okay. Right..we'll discuss more of this tomorrow. Thanks!"

After hanging up the phone and returning it to the receiver, he finally noticed you and smiled. "Hey, hey! Haven't seen your face around here yet. But surely you know mine, right?"

"Yeah." You smiled, not wanting to shy away from talking with him. "Spamton, right?"

"Everybody's favorite number-one rated salesman!!" He laughed. "It's good you know me..'cuz soon ALL of Cyber World will know my name! It's a pleasure to meet you...?"

"[Y/n]. I'm one of Queen's peons." You shook his hand politely. The energy that radiated from him was so bright. Just as much as his pearly smile was.

Stepping inside, you glanced around at the luxurious furniture. He definitely got the higher-class rooms, with the addition of a large window that showed the neon green meridians that stretched across the night sky. It was certainly a beautiful view to fall asleep to. "Need help unpacking?"

"Oh--sure!!" At first Spamton seemed surprised by your offer, but he nodded. "If you want, be my guest. And while we unpack, I gotta ask you..how's it being Queen's peon?"

............

Weeks passed, and you've gotten to know Spamton more and more. You realized he was actually a sweet down-to-earth guy all around. Although he was on the phone a lot, he'd make time to hang out with you, so you two became fast friends.

He was truly living the best life. Posters of his car advertisements were littered all over the city, and the Swatchlings attended to his every need. Though one thing was hard to admit, even when it seemed like he had it all:

You were his only friend now that everyone else is intimidated by his status--as they would shy away from conversing with him--and the Addisons, well, abandoned him out of jealousy.

Obviously that made him worry about driving you away, especially when he's on the phone nonstop. But...the fact you've been so kind to him in every word and gesture, treating him like a regular person and not some untouchable celebrity, was quite endearing. Most admired him for his products, not his personality.

Your kindness made him fall for you hard and fast, ever since day one. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea; to let it get in the way of his business.

But what the hell? He was a big shot! He can afford to go a bit bigger and take more risks. Living in this mansion with someone who loved him would be the perfect dream.

There was a much bigger dream that his valued caller insisted he focused on, but that can come later.

So this morning, Spamton set out to find you to address these feelings once and for all. Yet he was rather nervous. Addisons were most confident in selling products, not so much...everything else. But he didn't wanna back down. He kept smiling no matter what.

As he checked inside the color café that he usually frequented, he saw you eating at the table. He noticed you weren't alone but with Swatch, talking and...

Laughing with them?

And just like that, his smile faded much like his hope.

Of course, the head butler had their ways to swoon people. He tried not to think of it as anything more than just their personality. It's just their way to entice returning customers.

That's all...right?

Spamton ducked behind one of the displays, listening in on your conversation to determine if he should proceed or not.

"By the way, we've known each other for a while and..I've always wanted to ask you something.."

"Yes? What is your inquiry?"

He held his breath. This is exactly what he feared. Knowing that you've been here longer, it's obvious you'd be closer to that damn bird-

"Your outfit."

Then he exhaled shakily, relieved. 'What are you getting so worked up for, idiot?' He thought in the back of his mind, but he continued eavesdropping.

"Did the Queen make it or give it to you? It's very stylish and really makes you stand out from the other Swatchlings."

"Ah, in fact I decided this look for myself." Swatch chuckled softly, raising a wing to adjust their glasses. "The tailor did marvelous work with my vision: black suit, tinted glasses. Very fashionable, is it not?"

"It is. I like it a lot."

"Why thank you. I see why our Lady Grace admires you. Just for that compliment, I'll give you a discount on any of our products in the gift shop."

"Should be every day if you ask me." You joked, earning another chuckle from them.

Seeing all of this and the way you two spoke like close friends was a jab in Spamton's heart-shaped object. 'So [y/n] likes people who stand out? Well I can stand out, too..' He thought bitterly as he stormed out of the shop without either of you knowing he was there.

Why should he settle with being a blank-slate Addison like the rest of them? He didn't consider himself one anymore.

Today, he told his valued caller, he was gonna be a whole new person.

It would help him get closer to both of his dreams, but there was only one on his mind now.

............

Later that night as you were getting ready for bed, you heard a knock at the door. You huffed in annoyance, assuming Queen needed you for something.

She had a knack for disturbing you at ungodly hours. But knowing better than to ignore her, you went to answer the door anyways-

To some strange black-haired guy in a black suit and white turtleneck sweater.

"Hi, um...can I help you?"

"[Y/n]? It's me."

"....wait....Spamton?"

"Yeah!" The salesman laughed, throwing his arms out and making a pose. "Whatdya think of me now?"

Perplexed, you looked him up and down. He ditched the lime-green pants, instead wearing white trousers. And his hair was slicked back. But what was most peculiar about him were his glasses, tinted with pink and yellow lenses.

Had you not known any better, you would've thought Swatch suddenly shrunk and became robotized.

"Cool but..you kinda look like Swatch a little bit. Was that on purpose?" You mused.

"...haha....yeah uh..funny story. Um.." He dropped the act, losing his trademark grin as he wondered how to explain himself and this sudden transformation. You could tell he wanted to talk inside the room, so you let him in and shut the door.

"I don't recall Queen mentioning any costume contest-"

"It's not a costume." He muttered, uncomfortably rubbing his hands together as he looked at you with sadness. "This is who I am now. The new me."

"..huh? You serious?" When he nodded, you frowned slightly. "I'm confused. You don't look like an Addison anymore-"

"That's the point...! I...I don't wanna be associated with them anymore. I decided to stand out, y'know? If you're gonna be a big shot, ya gotta stand out from the crowd!" He forced a laugh that sounded rather glitchy.

You didn't buy it. It wasn't like him to do this out of the blue.

"Spamton, why imitate Swatch of all people? And why out of the blue like this? I mean..I don't mind if you like their style. But I didn't even recognize you until you spoke."

Try as he might, he couldn't make any better excuses. So seeing that he was cornered made him finally admit his jealousy, overhearing your conversation with Swatch while he was browsing--when he really wasn't, but he didn't wanna come off as creepy.

His voice glitched further due to stress, accidentally blurting out some kind of...flirtatious term as he explained how much you meant to him since day one.

You weren't sure if he meant to say "hot single" on purpose. Though you were flattered that such a famous guy like him...actually had a crush on you, an ordinary Darkner who just fetched the Queen's stick wherever she threw it.

You found it hard to believe he thought of you that way..so you kept your own feelings buried. So to see that it's mutual was a relief, and it made you smile.

Spamton, on the other hand, was stressing the hell out. So much so he didn't even see your smile. He just saw himself being stupid the more he rambled on.

It was such a stupid, stupid reason to get insecure--to the point of changing his entire appearance without warning. All because you were friends with a butler who was doing their job???

How selfish can he get when he already had everything he wanted and more?

When he did acknowledge your small smile, he thought you were holding yourself back from laughing. But you had every right to laugh and call him a joke for thinking this will get your attention.

As he finished talking, he could see your smile fade and huffed. He waited for you to tell him how stupid he looks and to go back to being the plain old Addison you met.

Instead of ridiculing him you...hugged him?

At this point you were sitting on the bed together. Of course yours wasn't as massive as his was, but it was big enough for you two to share.

"Spammy, I'm flattered you like me in that way but...you didn't have to do all of this to get my attention. I promise there's nothing going on between Swatch and I. We're just friends. They're not replacing you or anything."

"I know, it's just.." Taking off the glasses, he set them aside before hugging you tightly, head buried in your chest. "I don't wanna lose the only person in this damn place who makes me feel like myself. Who loves me for me, not my success. And...I-I felt like I had to change something about myself to make sure of that."

"Well..you don't need to change anymore. I love you no matter what you look like."

He blinked, his face turning as red as his cheeks.

You could sense his embarrassment from the way he tensed up in your arms and chuckled, patting his hair softly. "Just..don't feel pressured to change for me..or anybody for that matter, okay? Or at least let me know if you're gonna change things up again."

"You don't think..I look stupid or creepy like this?"

"No. Honestly you look pretty handsome. Black hair suits you well."

Hearing those words made him breathe a small sigh of relief. He nodded and hugged you tighter.

His new looks were staying for good.

Oh can I request a scenario? I've read that some people headcanon Levi as person who isn't really into marriage. And that got me thinking about this. A scenario in where Levi and his s/o mutually break things off because she always wanted to be a wife and have a lovely wedding and to have her husband's last name and he didn't want any of that causing her to think there was no future with him . So they become distant friends and she does get married years later and he is invited. And it's bittersweet since he feels like he might have missed out on a future with her but seeing her so happy he's content with her living her dreams even if it wasn't with him.

I'm here for some bittersweet love ❣️

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 (𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢 𝐀𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐱 𝐅𝐞𝐦!𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫)

synopsis: after a long time being in a relationship together, with Levi. Things start to slowly drift apart and shatter. Levi although, tries to keep it stable, but it has eventually been called and broken off by Y/N, as you were not able to handle the situation anymore, thinking there would be no future with Levi had made you upset and making you want to get out of the relationship.

angst, sad/happy love, modern au world, headcanon fanfic ♡ —

After the war, and everything they have been throughout the years, Y/N and Levi decided to move and live together outside Paradis and start a new life there.

It has been a year, and Levi and Y/N have been dating for rather a pretty long time. Things have been pretty good in their relationship, both were happy and living their lives.

Y/N has been thinking a lot lately about marriage though, and especially with her one and only, Levi. Y/N would get lost in her thoughts of how they would officially live together as a married couple, how she would finally be Levi’s wife instead of his girlfriend. She would also wonder and think how lovely and special their wedding would be, how Levi would propose to his girl, and for Y/N at long last have her husband’s last name, being called Mrs. Ackerman would get her all blushed up.

Levi noticed for a while how his girlfriend would zone out, thinking about something and he would wonder what it is that is making his girlfriend so happy and squeal. Y/N was on the coach, while hugging around the coach pillow so tightly and then giggle.

“What’s making you smile like a cute idiot?” He said with a small smile and ruffed his girlfriends hair as he sat beside her on the coach and Levi put his arm around her waist, bringing his lovely girlfriend closer to him.

Levi would not complain though, seeing his girlfriend in this mood, made him think of nothing else but her, and it made him so happy too. He just wanted to cuddle her up and smooch her whole face up as she laughs.

Y/N then wondered and though, ‘Maybe, maybe it’s the time now!’ Y/N then thought of brining and slipping in the topic of marriage into their conversation.

She said turning her face around to face Levi’s handsome looking face and she said in a cheerful tone, “Welll, I was thinking about the future lately.” Levi then frowned, indicating with his expression that he was confused as to what his girlfriend meant by future.

“What do you mean love?” Levi was direct and straight-forward, he wanted to know what his lover meant by what she said. Was she going to leave him? Did she had other plans for the future? He was starting to overthink.

“Y-You know!” Y/N said all blushed up, and as she was about to get up, he held on her wrist. “Nope, you are not going till you tell me love.” Levi was determined to know, and that lead to Y/N sighing and finally speaking her thoughts. She started to then throw him a marriage hint at him.

“I just, want us to be more serious about our relationship.”

“And, that is?”

“Like...I was thinking, of how great of a family we would make. Along with one day if I will take your last name!” Y/N said all in a cheerful and shy tone, his girlfriend was clearly all happy and her smile doesn’t seem like it would go away on her pretty face. She then was excited to hear his response, about how instantly he would prepare marrying Y/N.

But...Levi picked it up right away what she meant, and stayed quiet. Y/N’s confidence and love towards Levi showed that you were ready for a married life with him, and having his last name, clearly indicated this was the kind of a serious relationship she meant.

Y/N took in with the way how he did not respond and thought of him being worried, “D-Don't worry! I am sure you will be a great Father, I mean you are such a great boyfriend to me and-”

But Levi got up and put both of his hands on her shoulder which made her jolt, this made Y/N have a sinking feeling in her stomach, something felt wrong, the mood and vibe wasn't right and she started to feel anxious. “I, don’t think I can.”

Now, she felt as if her heart skipped a beat, her eyes widen and she gasped and was now speechless. She couldn’t believe it, and now her whole expression, happy vibe and her cheerful mood she was at a while ago, disappeared dramatically.

“I’m not into.....marriage.” Levi finally spoke, not thinking straight of what he just said, and of how sudden this topic was. Levi said this as he did not want to make her feel distressed, in fact himself feeling distressed. But, he had no idea how those words, completely shattered the Y/N he knew that was once cheerful, lovely and happy, gone.

She wanted to be with the man she first loved in her life, ever since she met him, and be his wife. But, she was lost and confused, didn’t Levi want her by his side too?

“Levi, Is that what you really think?....Don't you want me too? I though I meant something to you.” All her spirit was now gone, she looked down and had a very sad expression, her eyes soon to tear up.

Levi again, was speechless, he did not know what to say to her for once. He was caught off guard. That’s cause, he never really talked about this topic with anyone actually, unlike other people who have close friends or families who may have talked about marriage, Levi did not and it was just Y/N in his life he trusted and shared many things to.

So, when this was brought up in the conversation, this caught him really off guard and he just...stayed quiet, not sure what to say.

But to Y/N, that was an answer to her already, and without giving Levi any more time or in fact, not wasting his time, she slightly pushed his arms off her shoulders and walked away from him, going to the bathroom.

Y/N took this as a way he never wants to marry her and that shattered and broke her heart.

After a couple of weeks, both Y/N and Levi’s relationship kept falling apart, and as Levi tried his best to keep the relationship stable. Y/N, could not keep up with it, with her overwhelming mixed feelings of shame and sadness. This lead to Y/N having her feelings hurt.

One day, Levi enters their shared flat after coming back from a grocery store. He decided to cook dinner for his girlfriend tonight and have a romantic dinner with her, he wanted her spirit back, her love back, and after some time thinking, sorting out his emotions, Levi then knew that he would be willing to do anything for her happiness.

But, as he entered the living room, he saw Y/N with a suitcase and her backpack.

“What...” Levi said with a gasp, and his eyes widen, he stood there being shocked. Surely he was misunderstanding the situation...right?

“I am leaving, I can’t do this anymore.”

Levi dropped the bags he was carrying, on the ground, and he felt his heart skipped a beat. Did he hear it right? Did she actually say that?

“No, No. No!” He approached his girlfriend and held on her shoulders.

“Babe, we can fix this. Please stay with me, You don’t need to leave...I-I can’t lose you too.” He started to tremble slightly. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing!

“Stay with me, my love?” Levi then said once again, looking at her face who was now emotionless and she slightly pushed him away and that was the last time he ever saw her again.

Levi and his S/O mutually break things off because Y/N has always wanted to be Levi’s wife, having a lovely wedding and making a great family with him. But Levi didn’t seem to want any of that as he never spoke to her after that time and that caused his girlfriend, well now, ex-girlfriend, to thinking he didn’t want any of that and thinking there was no future after all with him.

Levi did not expect any of this, his ex leaving him after what he told her, and this leaves Levi all heart broken and being emotionally damaged. An emotional rejection from Y/N that damaged his mood and self-esteem. But, he still moved on and continued on with his life. He took most of the blame because he had to let her know sooner that, he would actually do anything for her happiness and love again, but he was apparently too late.

He would still be in their same shared flat, he cleaned it everyday and still kept two plates whenever he had breakfast or dinner, thinking one day he might see her. “She will come back to me...right?” He would mutter sometimes as he sat on the same coach they once shared and cuddled on, alone as the evening was approaching.

After what felt like forever, Levi was on his way to this well-known café that was mentioned by Hanji and he decided to check it out. But, to his surprise, he saw you, sitting inside the café, all alone drinking some tea. His heart fluttered, and his cheeks went red. Is it her?! Is it actually my Y/N?

After such a long time, he finally found her, and as soon as he wanted to approach Y/N, and thinking today is the day he will tell you how much an effect you had in his life and when you weren’t by his side, how he never realized that it took him long to figure it out that he would absolutely do anything to win you, your love and happiness back. He wanted to tell you all that, anything you wanted he was willing to give it to you now that he has finally found you. And explain to you also how, during the time you both lived together, he was actually trying to figure out with that time to make everything work out for you.

But, Levi stopped.

His heart sinking once again, that feeling he felt after such a long time.

He saw a guy, approaching you instead and....you were with him? Y/N’s face then brightened up, and she looked much happier, you smiled even more. Y/N got up from her seat and the man hugged her so tightly while caressing her back, and she was chuckling. And the man himself, seemed to be also deeply in love with you.

He then, noticed their rings, were they perhaps engaged, in their honeymoon, or perhaps they weren’t married and it was just matching rings...right? Levi wondered, begging that what he was thinking was true.

He then saw, his and Y/N’s old friends entering the café, and greeting both of them, one of them was Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie and Historia. He overhear how they were saying that they were such a happy couple and they loved and shipped them a lot. Happy for Y/N finding happiness once again.

“I am out of time.” Levi muttered, now reality hitting him. He never had time to begin with, he knew ever since she left him. Time was lost and didn’t wait for him.

"What is this feeling?" it felt like as if someone clenched into his chest, his heart is being pulled out of his chest, his stomach having a sinking feeling. Now, he really did lose her.

But wait....maybe he has a chance? he decided to just wait, just maybe it was all a misunderstanding? Having that small hope, that everything was just an assumption, and jumping into conclusions.

After what felt like forever, he waited for them to get out of the café and approached them, to Y/N.

Her eyes widen, she couldn't believe she was seeing Levi after all these years. “Could I speak to Y/N alone, please?” Levi said sadly, and was looking at Y/N instead of the guy.

The guy seemed to have read the mood and he let Y/N to talk to him in private, to sort out whatever was going on.

“How...have you been?” He finally said, after breaking the silence between them. Y/N nodded and looked back inside the café, “Do you wanna talk and perhaps, catch up?” Y/N uttered, and open the door to the café, she was still the friendly woman he loved and she still looked absolutely even more beautiful to his eyes, he just didn’t want this moment to end.

They then, started to catchup, how things were going for both of them, how they both were and then Levi asked if she was alright. Y/N finally told him that she has been engaged and she would be getting married soon, she let all their friends know about it and to be invited, and she said she would be happy if he would be able to come too, inviting him to her wedding. Levi was now having mixed of emotions, sad but also happy that she was not in a terrible state, and not sad after what has happened. She has picked herself up and lived her life, and finally her dream becoming true and a nice man who loved her, also wanting to marry her too.

They decided to be distant but in good-terms friends, and she was hoping that one day he could meet her fiancée properly. Levi just sat there, smiling. Smiling because he was actually happy to know that there was someone out there to love her, and not treat her bad, and give her what she wanted, which he could have done if he had done it earlier. But of course, it was Y/N, who wouldn’t love her?

He was actually happy for her, seeing her smile, and happy, and she had grown and matured to be such a beautiful woman. “You...will be such a great Mother.” He finally, said with a smile, and that warmed Y/N’s heart. Hearing that, especially from him, made her so happy and glad to hear that since she always wanted to be, but afraid she wouldn’t be. She looked down, at her teacup and tears were running down her cheeks, she was crying happy tears. Y/N never knew how his words would actually be heart warming for her, and he was ready to even support her anytime.

On the day, finally the wedding day, it was filled with love and laughter form everyone, and everyone congratulating them, all their friends crying and cheering for Y/N and the man she was gonna marry.

Levi of course came, and sat at the back, away from the crowd, and he was feeling heart-warmed seeing Y/N being happy once again and her smile and her sight was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, he found it breathtaking, capturing every moment.

“That....could have been us.” He uttered to himself and got up, leaving the wedding as it almost came to an end, he thought his presence wouldn’t really matter to him much now and he left the wedding.

“Hm, where is Levi? I still haven’t thanked him properly.” Y/N said looking around, and her husband held on her hand and gave her a sweet smile, “Don't worry, I am sure we will see him soon. But he left this for you.” Her husband, handed to her a bag filled with gifts, and a card saying ‘Congratulations, Wishing you a long and happy marriage Y/N.’

After a long day, Levi finally got back home. When Levi goes back to his flat now, no longer calling it ‘our flat’, he still had Y/N’s stuff that she left behind and haven’t thrown them away or moved its position. Y/N really did have a big impact in his life.

He looked through their old memories, gifts she gave him, pictures they took together, letters she wrote for him that was all placed inside a box and he was taking them out one by one. Smiling at them, as how great of a person she was to him.

But, he did really just wanted to grab your hand one last time, say that he always loved you, kiss you one last time, and have you by his side in the flat one last time, looking at your sleepy face and waking up to see your lovely face and sight every morning. He missed it and those days would warm his heart, Y/N did made Levi feel so special before and he was grateful to even be her boyfriend for that period of time. She showed him and gave him love which he thought he would never get, but because of her, he did.

Levi really thought from now, he won’t be able to find that kind of love anymore that he had with Y/N. But, he was very thankful to even have it in the first place. Because to him, Y/N was his everything and he did still care for her. Levi felt convinced though when he met Y/N, it was her and the last relationship he will have and he would be proud to say that she was once his lover and girlfriend.

He stayed still, sitting on the coach and laying down, looking at the ceiling. Levi was smiling, but his eyes then started to tear up slowly. “I promised her that, whenever she is happy....I should be happy too. So why am I like this? Fuck, I am terrible.”

Levi deep down just wanted to know, and he thought to himself saying, ‘Does Y/N even remember our past relationship, Did I have an impact in her life? Did I mean something in her life? Did she forget all our memories and moments together?’

After questioning himself this, he then realized that...when he said to Y/N he was not into marriage. It was a lie. He was actually lowkey scared and in that moment, it was said out of fear. Fear of how he might not be a great father or husband and might fuck things up, and he wanted to be ready and prepared he was the man for you, the one and only for you. He then, whimpered silently to himself in the dark, letting out all of his bottled up emotions.

It’s their bittersweet love, and it’s bittersweet since whenever he thought of the past, it would involve a feeling of happiness and sadness at the same time. But, he finally was at peace now, after seeing you for such a long time, and now knowing you are doing well and great, being taking care of by a great man. He does feel like he has missed out that future Y/N was talking about before, but seeing her cheerful and joyful, he was now content with Y/N and satisfied with her living her dreams, even if it was not with him, he would still support her with all his heart.

okay I did not expect to make this fanfic so sad but a little heart warming at the same time??! I definitely did not tear up while writing this- ANYWAYS! This is my first time to write something like this so please, let me know what you think of this and I hope you somehow liked the bittersweet love between Levi and Y/N!

If you enjoyed and liked this hc fanfic, please let me know by leaving a like, reblog or a message! I love you all and thank you for the support <3

part one | oblivion

oblivion [noun. the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening around one]

pairing: kamo noritoshi/f!reader

summary: your relationship with noritoshi was like a game of cat and mouse; no matter how hard you tried to escape from him, he would always find his way back to you.

wordcount: 3.9k

content/warnings: friends to enemies to lovers, language, noritoshi is kind of a dick but i promise it gets better so please don’t lose faith in him, we’re not strictly following the manga timeline bc while i am reading it, i do have a goldfish brain, lowercase intended

a/n: hello, here’s the first installment of my sanguine series! it’s the prequel of this drabble (nsfw) i wrote the other week while i was working on the outline of the fic. it’s a little slow burn because i wanted to spend some more time exploring their relationship and the groundwork for it, so yeah. i’ll try to update it regularly, but since i’ve only planned five parts for sanguine, it might take a while bc i want to take my time with it. if you want to stay updated with the series, i’ll post the masterlist to it shortly! i do hope you enjoy it though :) and stay safe, everybody! [tagging @sukirichi the sukuna to my yuuji, who just gets spammed when i start rambling about my aus but always screams with me (´• ω •`)]

masterlist - next

"y/n!" you look up to see miwa storming towards you, thrusting a book in your direction. "could you- could you please give this to noritoshi? i borrowed this book from him like a week ago and if i don't return this anytime soon, i think he's gonna kill me."

scowling at her, you look at the book in disdain. you wanted to avoid crossing paths with noritoshi as much as possible and miwa was well aware that you didn't like hi-

"please," miwa pleaded again, taking your hands and placing the book in it. "i'm really scared of him. he always looks like he's going to shoot me soon. even todo is pretty nice if you don't interrupt his takada-chan time!"

you sighed in annoyance, you just couldn't say no. ever since coming to the kyoto metropolitan curse tech, miwa and you had been pretty close because you strongly disliked the other students. most of them were arrogant and stuck-up, thinking they were better than the other; the two that belonged to the three clans were even worse. on your first day here you'd promptly gotten into a fight with mai, disliking how haughty she was and trying to prove everyone that she was better than them. much to your chagrin, the fight ended in a tie.

"fine, but you owe me some mango," miwa's face lit up in relief and she gave you a thumbs up before dashing to her room, most likely to escape noritoshi's wrath. you inspected the book. was it even worth returning it? maybe you could just throw it in the trash. if noritoshi ever found out, he'd kill miwa first and then you. you let out another sigh before making your way towards the training grounds. he most likely was outside to practice, either with one of the guys or alone. as you were nearing the training grounds, you could already hear the sound of arrows whistling and the dull thuds of them hitting the target. it was hard to spot him through all the trees; you weren't entirely sure where he was. your ears perked up when you heard him release another arrow until you realized that it was heading your way. this bastard. fortunately, you were able to slash the arrow clean in the middle, angrily pointing your sword in his direction. you still couldn't see him anywhere.

"you fucking idiot! you could've killed me," you snarled, stomping deeper into the forest. an amused laugh echoed through the trees.

"you're acting like i can't control my arrows. it's not my fault you let your guard down," noritoshi retorted smugly, lowering his bow as he saw you approaching. you were fuming, hurling the book at him. how dare he? you watched with satisfaction as it hit him square in the chest - who was caught off guard now, huh? he deserved it anyways.

"miwa asked me to return your book," you curtly explained and turned back around to leave but apparently, noritoshi had other plans. instead of saying anything else, he just followed you which unsettled you even more.

"stop following me."

"who said i was following you? i'm just going back to the dorms. i'm sorry you can't handle me being near you."

you whirled around, sword pointing dangerously close to his neck. he smirked at you triumphantly, it was just too easy to get a rouse out of you. "another word and i'll cut you, seriously. you're pissing me off," you gritted your teeth, hating that you always fell for his stupid games. he knew you all to well, what made you angry, what made you happy, what motivated you. once upon a time, you'd thought the same about him; until he changed so rapidly, so unlike your expectations. you were worlds apart and yet you'd reserved an ounce of hope that he wouldn't turn out to be as arrogant as the clan heads. swift as the wind, noritoshi grabbed your wrist, dragging it upwards and towards him until he could lean down to you. your heartbeat sped up - holy shit why was he so close to you - and you froze in shock.

"i'd like to see you try, princess," he whispered in your ear, the grip on your wrist tightening. "you wouldn't dare to."

the first time you met noritoshi, he was sitting outside in the garden with his mum. both seemed to have a good time. noritoshi's hair was tousled from the soft summer breeze and he had a soft smile on his face, happily munching away on the snacks that were displayed on the table. while he looked friendly enough, you were wary of meeting and talking to him because you felt kind of queasy around the kamo family. you couldn’t quite place a finger on the feeling, the older members of the family intimidating you to no end. much to your dismay, you felt like you had to be watchful - your parents worked for the kamo family, so naturally the apartment you lived in was close to the estate. you avoided any run ins with the adults, they weren’t exactly friendly to you. noritoshi’s mum had befriended your mum and they spent a lot of time together when possible. and yet you’d never met noritoshi before, seeing how busy he was with his various classes.

the fit that you threw, not wanting to tag along with your mum, was long forgotten when you’d spotted the jar of cookies on the table. before your mum could react, you pulled your hand away from hers and quickly ran towards it. “hello miss!” you greeted enthusiastically, your eyes shining at the sight of the sweets. “my name is y/n! i’m here with my mum and i uhm… could i have some of the cookies? please?” when your mum finally caught up to you, she scolded you quietly and greeted the other two, taking a seat beside noritoshi’s mum. you pouted, immediately climbing on her lap as you refused to sit next to the boy. his mum handed you a cookie which you happily took and thanked her politely. noritoshi was curiously eyeing you; it wasn’t often that he saw other children around his age and he didn’t have any friends to play with. his everyday life revolved around reading books, studying, taking archery classes and sometimes spending time with his mum. noritoshi barely even knew what fun was - he’d only ever felt at peace when he was around his mum.

“y/n, sweetie, why don’t you go and play with noritoshi?” your mum prompted but you immediately shook your head, hiding your face in her chest. she simply laughed and shook her head, brushing your hair back softly. “come on, noritoshi is really nice. you can be his friend one day, right? didn’t i tell you that friends are important?”

you frowned. then huffed. when she worded it like this, there was no way you could refuse. the cartoon that you religiously watched featured a group of friends that went on adventures and helped each other out. you’d told your mum that you wanted to be like that too! begrudgingly, you slid off her lap and trudged towards noritoshi who looked at you with big eyes. you held your hand out, waiting for him to shake it. “my name is y/n. uhm… nice to meet you,” you shyly whispered, eyes darting away from him.

it took a while until noritoshi reacted, shaking your hand gently and answering: “hello y/n, i’m noritoshi.”

much to your surprise, noritoshi was actually fun to be around with. he showed you his collection of books, the bow that he was practicing with and you often played the card game you’d received for your birthday together. he was smart and witty, often explaining you things that he’d read in a book but he was also attentive when he listened to you ramble about the other kids in school or when you told him about the cartoon that you were watching. for you, noritoshi was becoming your best friend - for noritoshi, you were his first friend. he cherished you and how unabashedly true to yourself you were. spending time with you was something he looked forward to; you always made him laugh and you didn’t care whether he lived up to the kamo family name or not. to you, he was simply noritoshi. you were like a fresh breeze of air in his life.

noritoshi didn't quite understand why the elders were always so hard on him, so strict and unrelenting. they expected only the best results from him and didn't show any understanding when he exhausted. he didn't enjoy practice anymore, the lessons becoming a chore and burden on his mind. but whenever he saw your face light up at his newly acquired skills, he thought it was worth the trouble. you came to visit him everyday after school, never skipping a day. sometimes he questioned why you weren't visiting your friends from school but you shook your head, poking his chest indignantly. "you're my best friend, 'toshi. of course i'd want to spend more time with you." noritoshi was glad you always chose him, without fail.

even though your parents had always warned you to be careful around noritoshi because his family was strict and didn't like outside influences distracting the heir, you never really strayed from his side. noritoshi didn't have any other friends, who would keep him company or listen to his troubles then? you didn't understand why your parents were suddenly going back on their word. they'd always told you that family and friends were important. you couldn't pinpoint your feelings for him - but your parents saw it. it was obvious; the stars in your eyes when you looked at him, the slight blush on your cheeks when he complimented you and how happy you were when you got to spend time with him. the more time you spent with him, the more they were worried for you.

"'toshi!" you yelled in excitement as you ran towards him, waving wildly. he dropped his bow and turned to you, a soft smile gracing his lips as he opened his arms to hug you. you squeezed him tightly. two weeks you hadn't seen him due to a school trip after which you got sick and weren't able to leave the house. you'd missed him a lot and you were excited to show him the souvenirs you brought him.

"look, i bought you an omamori!" you handed him the small object, then pointing on your bag to show him the one you'd bought for yourself. "i got myself a matching one too! my teacher said it wards off evil spirits and brings you luck." noritoshi's smile was bright, so bright. he was happy you thought of him and were always kind to him. your eyes widened as he leaned in to kiss your cheek before thanking you. the two of you were blushing, neither saying a word but not minding what had just happened.

the day noritoshi's mother left the estate was the day you were slowly starting to lose him. noritoshi grew more forlorn and didn't seem to easily find joy in anything anymore. the departure left a deep, deep gap in his heart. it had shocked him deep to the core when she left him. him. why couldn't she stay? why did she leave him when she was the only person who protected him, loved him? she did say that she was hindering his growth but who was she to decide that? he didn't want to become stronger, didn't want to protect other people like she'd told him to. he wanted to stay with her. "'toshi? 'toshi!" a concerned voice broke through his trance, pulling him back into reality. "i asked you a question! you weren't even listening to me."

you were pouting at him, tugging at his sleeve impatiently. noritoshi apologized, patting your head to soothe your temper. "what do you want to do in the future? mum said it's important to work towards your dreams!" you asked him curiously, grasping his hand to hold it. the gesture filled him with indescribable warmth, drawing him in like a moth to the flames. "my mum said i have a special power, i can heal people! i want to become a doctor in the future, so i can help everyone that got hurt," you explained to him so earnestly that he felt bad for the lie he was about to tell. noritoshi didn't have big dreams or ambitions just yet. he didn't even know what would be suitable to him - he was strictly following orders, never allowed to think for himself.

but when he looked at you, he only had one wish. "i think… i think i want to help people, protect them. especially those that i love."

with each year passing, you noticed that noritoshi was putting more and more distance between the two of you. at first you'd brushed it off as the stress of his training and number of classes he was attending. but as you spent less and less time together, the weight of the situation didn’t escape you. he was easily irritable, cold and arrogant, often rude towards employees of the kamo estate. every now and then when you’d scold him for being an asshole, he’d simply scoff at you and haughtily ask you how it was any of your business. you sighed, tossing and turning in your bed as you thought about how much noritoshi had changed. it kept you up at night, just thinking about how he wasn’t your ‘toshi anymore. you didn’t know this person. ‘toshi was always gentle and kind, he tended to overthink many things and sometimes he was a little bit of a crybaby but you still loved him regardless. you sneaked out of your room, finally mustering up enough courage to ask your mother for advice. the thought of her discovering your blooming crush on noritoshi was scaring you. your parents were wary around the kamos despite working from them - even more so ever since noritoshi’s mother left and the elders had free reign over her son.

“noritoshi! noritoshi, stop walking away from me! hey, i’m talking to you!” you yelled frustrated as you were trying to keep up with him. noritoshi was crossing the garden in long strides, it was nearly impossible to stop him as you couldn’t catch up to him. you lunged forward, getting hold of his sleeve and tugged him back harshly. noritoshi yanked his arm out of your grip, glaring at you annoyed.

“what do you want from me? i have better things to do than to quibble with you,” he hissed irritated. you couldn’t believe him, he had the nerve to dismiss you like this when he was in the wrong?

“you know exactly what i want from you! you can’t just go around and talk to people like you did before just because they’re not from a reputable family! noritoshi, you’re not any better than them just because your last name is kamo.”

as much as noritoshi scared you, you stood your ground. you knew he didn’t take you serious, not with the amused look he gave you. in the past month or two, noritoshi was suddenly hit by a growth spurt - you barely reached his shoulder now and he took advantage of that to mock you, often treating you like an armrest. he pat your head condescendingly, pouting at you in fake regret. “aw, did i hurt your feelings? did i make itty bitty little y/n sad?” he mocked you, before abruptly grabbing your cheeks to make you look at him. “i don’t care what you think of me, cry all you want. i strongly suggest you hold that sharp tongue of yours if you know what’s good. know your place.”

tears filled your eyes; noritoshi had never talked to you this way. what has gotten into him? your heart broke in pieces, unable to take the pain any longer. you were no longer his equal but below him, much like everyone else.

“mum?” you cautiously knocked at the door of her study, waiting for her response. your mother was most likely still awake and dealing with paperwork like she usually did. upon hearing the affirmative noise she made, you flitted inside, closing the door behind you so your father didn’t catch any wind of this. it was already embarrassing enough and you were sure your mother could offer you better advice. you gingerly took a seat on the armchair, grabbing a pillow and hugging it close to your body. how were you going to approach this? hey mum, i have a crush on noritoshi and he’s weird to me now and i don’t know why? uh yeah mum, i caught feelings for the guy you warned me about and now i look like a fool crawling up to you like this?

“it’s about noritoshi, isn’t it?” your mother interrupted your stream of thought, spinning her swivel chair towards you.

“huh? oh no it isn’t, why would it be? i have-”

“y/n.”

“ugh okay fine, maybe it is about him,” you sighed defeated, of course she would look right through you. she always seemed to know what you were thinking, even when you hadn’t confided in her before. “but promise me you won’t judge me!” the look in your mother’s eyes told you that she was going to judge you regardless but you knew she meant well - she simply wanted the best for you.

“i- i just don’t understand why he’s been such a pain in the ass lately. and he’s been treating everyone like dirt too, including me! mum, he’s becoming someone else and i… i don’t know what to do,” you sniffled inconsolably, wiping at your eyes with the sleeves of your sweater. she wasn’t supposed to see you getting emotional. “he’s always busy and when we do get to see each other, he doesn’t want to spend time with me. what if he doesn’t like me anymore? and i don’t like how he’s treating you! it’s the same issue with the elders, they don’t know any human decency at all!”

your mother motioned you to scoot over a little and sat next to you, wrapping her arms around you and patting your back to console you. while she meant well, it accomplished the opposite - you broke down in tears, unable to stop your sobs. “i just want my ‘toshi back,” you whimpered upset, burying your face in the pillow to muffle the sound of you crying. “i know you didn’t like that i became good friends with him but i couldn’t help it and i just really like him and- you weren’t supposed to find that out.”

“sweetheart, i know you love noritoshi,” she handed you a tissue. “you let a lot more on than you were aware of; dad and me always knew you were in love with him.” as if on cue, your sobbing stopped and you just looked at her in disbelief. she knew. she knew. you wanted the earth to swallow you whole. “i think it was always pretty obvious, to be honest. you always looked at him as if he was your entire world and no matter what happened, you were always by his side. i know it’s hard to accept when a dear friend is changing but sometimes you just have to, right? both of you are still growing, there’s no way of telling how your personalities change.”

“but i don’t want him to change like this,” you protested stubbornly, glaring at her. she was talking about it as if it was a matter of simply discarding a bad apple in the trash. it wasn’t easy and it made you anxious. you grew up together, shared secrets and memories. he was the person you’d always looked up to.

“y/n.” your mother sounded stern but you didn’t back down, not yet. “is it really worth it? if a person is changing so rapidly and you’re not getting through to them, you’ll have to let it go. there’s only so much you can do. people grow apart sometimes, it’s only natural. you have to let go of them, temporarily, so you both can heal and grow. y/n, i know you’re being stubborn about this but you’ll have to let him figure things out on his own. fate has curious ways to bring people back together.”

when the time came, noritoshi left to attend the kyoto metropolitan curse tech school without telling you a word. you were disappointed, apparently you weren’t worth saying goodbye to. whatever his reason was, it must’ve been pretty important. important enough to forget the promise that you’d always stay in contact. you wondered whether he'd change again, for the better maybe? maybe you would reconcile when you could finally attend the school as well and train together. you were excited to show him your sword skills, having received your family's heirloom, an elegant steel blue sword. though your skills probably weren’t up to par with the other students, you still wanted to show them off, show him what you’d learned in the year that you spent apart.

noritoshi had changed but not for the better. holy shit, did he get on your nerves. the first time he'd practiced with you, you realized that he had mutated into an insufferable know-it-all. he would give you backhanded compliments or make snide remarks about your posture, how you were supposed to hold your sword, how inefficient your fighting style was. sometimes you wished you could just beat him for once and have him shut up. there was no denying though, noritoshi was way too strong and you had a long way to go. judging from the reactions of the others, barely anyone had beat him either.

and just like that, your feelings for him were buried. you’d taken your mother’s advice to heart, keeping conversations and interactions with him to a minimum but somehow noritoshi always found his way to you. he was everywhere and a quarrel was inevitable. noritoshi got under your skin and he knew how to push your buttons. why he chose to pick on you was beyond your comprehension; he didn’t pay much attention to the other students nor was he particularly liked by them. just how much was he going to get on everyone else’s nerves? out of all the second years, todo aoi was the most amicable; you had the (dis)pleasure to run into him on your first day and for some reason, he took a liking to you. while he was loud and boisterous, mostly doing whatever he wanted, you couldn’t deny that he was a good friend. even though he didn’t care about anyone as much as he cared about takada-chan. at one point, he’d looked at you in sympathy when he caught you staring at noritoshi, patting your shoulder (too forceful): “i’m sorry, y/n, i’m so sorry.”

you still didn’t know what he meant by that.

ps.: todo knows and he’s kinda judging you for your taste in men

oi, march reads! I read a lot this month.

Please, don’t forget to leave a comment or kudos for the authors of these fics!

(The texts aren't the summary, just my ramble thoughts.)

Loving Cannibalism by glittering_git/@glittering-git (Mature, 2 works, 952 words) | Post-War, Angst, Established Relationship

Two marvellous and poetic histories about (loving) cannibalism. This is such a dark and heavy theme but the author does a great job writing and makes me enjoy reading them. (And I'm definitely here for more.)

(Please, read the Author's Tags.)

don’t say you love me, that’s extortion by LowerEastSide/@lower-east-side (Explicit, 1k) | Post-War, Angst, Fluff, Established Relationship

It is a domestic and loving and little sad history – about not saying 'I love you' but acting in that way.

The Pink Paradox by vina_writes/@dracothecupcake (Teen and Up, 1k) | Post-War, Humor, Auror Harry, Unspeakable Draco

Harry Potter Is Obsessed With Draco Malfoy TM. And Draco has pink hair. Have a fun time!

Harry's Promise by JosephineStone (Teen and Up, 2k) | Post-War, Angst, Reunion, Established Relationship

This one it's kind of part two of Circumpolar. The history continues the consequences of Draco's change, after the war – left me with a warm heart.

Burnt Casserole by Samunderthelights/@samunderthelights (General Audiences, 2k) | Post-War, Fluff, Established Relationship

Nervous Draco for Meeting Ron and Hermione. Getting back together and meeting your boyfriend's friends (who may hate you) showing them your (not) great cooking abilities.

Magical Homes, and Where to Find Them (in the arms of your lover) by Erebeus/@erebeus-roxy (General Audiences, 2k) | Post-War, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Established Relationship

Who doesn't want some fluff established relationship sometimes? Harry has a painful case at work and then comes home to a calm and domestic night with his husband.

Together Like This by shealwaysreads/@shealwaysreads (Explicit, 3k) | Post-War, Getting Back Together

Draco Malfoy in the Muggle World TM. I find it so interesting reading stories where Draco denies Harry's love because of the war, and Harry is there to change his mind. Here we have that and it's written the super talented shealwaysreads.

For Old Times' Sake by thestarryknight/@the-starryknight (Teen and Up, 3k) | Post-War, Drugs, Potioneer Draco, Artist Harry

This one gives me such a cosy and domestic vibe. "'It's Complicated' is their relationship status" resume perfect what this fic is. (There're some cool references too, so pay attention.)

Like Gold by The_Sinking_Ship/@the-sinking-ship (Explicit, 4k) | Post-War, PWP

(It's always good to see.) Harry Has a Motorbike Just Like Sirius! Harry rides a motorbike and Draco rides him.

Harry and Draco's Little Talk by Ladderofyears (Teen and Up, 5k) | Post-War, Angst, Established Relationship, mpreg

Who doesn't hear 'I need to talk to you' by someone you like and run with? Harry thinks Draco will break up with him and freak (a little) out but maybe the subject of Draco's conversation is quite the opposite.

Sugar Sweet by The_Sinking_Ship/@the-sinking-ship (Teen and Up, 5k) | Post-War, Humor, Fluff, Auror Harry, Healer Draco

It is a very sweet story with a surprise party for Draco and Harry getting late but not so late.

Show them the night that they dreamed about before by fluxweed/@fluxweeed (Explicit, 6k) | Post-War, PWP, Threesome, Boss/Employee Relationship, Dubious Consent

(Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter/Percy Weasley)

All I have to say is: 😳😯🤫😈🔥🥵🔥🥵😈😏!

It Never Occurred to Me That I Would Fall in Love With a Frenchman by lamerezouille/@elsalapizza (Teen and Up, 6k) | Post-War, Angst, Humor, Established Relationship

OMG, I never read something like this! The plot was so surprising – you will ever think about the Malfoys meeting the Dursleys? BOOM! Here it's a very awkward dinner that looks funny but has some depth stuff going on.

Litany by thistle_verse/@thistle-verse (Mature, 7k) | Post-War, Angst, Pandemic, Isolation, Touch-Starved, Ghost Draco

Ghost's story isn't my cup of tea, but I give this one a chance and don't regret it. The magic world is passing through a pandemic (just like us!), Harry is doing quarantine at home alone until ghost Draco, directly from Azkaban, shows up. Then, we have fluffy and sad conversations between the two and a turn of events in the end. (And lots of lists.)

As the Crow Flies by thestarryknight/@the-starryknight (Mature, 7k) | Post-War, Hurt/Comfort, Established Relationship, Animagus Draco, Werewolf Harry

Draco helps Harry on a full moon night. Domestic vibes with some angst. 10/10!

Circumpolar by LowerEastSide/@lower-east-side (Teen and Up, 8k) | Hogwarts Era, Angst, Sectumsempra Scars

I see an amazing fanart and spend some days obsessed with Draco having worse scars from Sectumsempra. (There's, in this list, another two fanfics with this concept.) In this one, because of the pretty bad scars Draco's plan about the war change – is interesting to imagine how one incident could put another thing in perspective for him. And Draco and Harry have a touching conversation on the Astronomy Tower! (I'm a sucker for long expressive conversations about feelings.)

if somebody’s there, then tell me who. by kryptidfox/@kryptidfoxwrites (Explicit, 11k) | Post-War, Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Housemates

Much more like Idiots to Lovers! Draco has a disastrous way to make Harry notice him – bring every man possible to a one-night stand then call their name very loud – until things go wrong when he brings a guy named Harry. I constantly have a good time reading these two making dumb thing in their path to be together.

Commander by Cassiopeias_shadow/@cassiopeiasshadow (Explicit, 14k) | Post-War, Horror, Suspense, Drugs, Animagi, Auror Harry, Light dom/sub

Almost a case fic with dark things in the plot. Draco is addicted to potions and in a pretty bad place when he has a chance to help the auros in a big case. It turns out that Draco got so much involved with the case he needed Harry, to make him put his feet on the ground – the fine line between doing everything to make up for your past or lost yourself doing things for the great good. Featuring: Harry as a snake and parselmouth kink.

(Please, read the Author's tags.)

Fire and Wonder by Lomonaaeren (Mature, 15k) | Post-War, Dark-ish, Veela

The Critiquer by dysonrules (Explicit, 24k) | Post-War, Humor, Romance, Secret Identity

Drunk Harry doing dumb stuff with Seamus and Dean, take him a very funny drive to Draco's hearty. Draco and his assistant interactions was another very humorous part. Can't forget to congratulate who made all of the edits, principally the text divisors.

The Nobility of Ascent by Lomonaaeren (Explicit, 27k) | Post-War, Angst, Politics

I love reading Lomonaaeren stories with dark-ish Harry. This is another great example of just not the good or evil side. Harry can't Make a Better World because of pureblood politics so he goes to Draco for help.

Can I tell you something? by GallaPlacidia (Not Rated, 33k) | Post-War, Angst, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Sectumsempra Scars, Drugs, Auror Harry, Burlesquedance Draco

What I can say about this one? It's by GallaPlacidia, go read! The story takes place during a few years, after the war, Harry collides in parties with a drugged Draco, things happen – they lived a very real journey of connecting with someone, learning to love and to be loved and understanding the mistakes of the past... 10/10!

Turning Leaves by Kbrick (Explicit, 112k) | Post-War, Angst, Fluff, Time Travel, Auror Harry, Unspeakable Draco

Draco Tries to Concert His Friendship With Harry by Time Travel. This gives me The Cursed Child vibe but so much better, Draco goes to several scenarios trying to change one important moment in the past to make Harry like-like now. A great story who think about what will happen if Draco acts differently in the Hogwarts years.
