last minute christmas gift - diluc

Pairing: Boyfriend!Diluc x Reader

Genre: Fluff! Female reader

Word Count: 1.4k

Notes: Diluc has to work Christmas day and you’re bound and determined to visit him to spend the holiday with him. Only, the winery staff seems to be doing everything they can to prevent you from leaving and your boyfriend actually wasn’t at work this whole time…? Merry Christmas/happy holidays everyone!! (sorry for any typos i wrote this kinda quickly so i could post it on christmas day hehe)

You could hear soft footsteps approach you as you fished through your jewelry box in search of the perfect pair of earrings to match your outfit. “Oh y/n, where might you be going?” Adelinde’s gentle voice cut through the air and you saw her standing in the doorway to the guest bedroom you were staying in for the holidays. Diluc had invited you stay a few nights at the winery to celebrate Christmas with him and the staff. You wouldn’t be able to visit your family this Christmas, and vice versa since they were so far away in Fontaine, so you accepted your boyfriend’s invitation gladly. You arrived the day before Christmas Eve and you would be leaving tomorrow morning, though you would probably be back the next day since you two spent so much time together.

“I was going to go visit Diluc while he’s working,” you answered, softly cursing as the back of an earring stabbed your finger. “Oh, these would be perfect,” you thought as you grabbed them.

“Oh?” Adelinde’s eyes widened slightly before she smiled kindly. “Y/n, it’s so cold outside, though, are you sure? He’ll be back later.”

It was unfortunate that Diluc had to work today – on Christmas, no less. You understood that it gave Charles the chance to go home and see his family, but still it was upsetting for you so hear last minute that you would barely spend any time with your lover on such a special occasion. That’s why you thought you could go visit him while he was at work, so you could make the most of the holiday. Sure, you spent almost every day with the man, but on Christmas? This was special! “But it’s Christmas, Adelinde. It’ll just be another gift to him today.”

The head maid sighed. “I know, y/n,” she said as she watched you gather your coat and push past her to leave the room. “But do you think he’d be very happy with you if you walked all the way there in the freezing cold?”

A soft smile came across your features as you imagined him gently scolding you. He wouldn’t be mad, of course, but he cared for your safety and he wouldn’t be too thrilled if he heard you had done something like that. “No,” you answered. “But I don’t care. It’s the thought that counts.”

Adelinde bit her lip. Her main job today was to make sure you didn’t leave the winery and here you were, dressed up in your cutest attire to venture out into the snowy afternoon. Luckily, Elzer was there to help.

“Y/n, his shift will end before you know it and then you’ll have him all to yourself the rest of the night,” the butler interrupted, moving a bit to block you from the doorway. “There’s no sense in risking your health. I went out earlier and I nearly slipped and broke my back.”

It seemed like everyone was against you today, despite it being such a joyful holiday. A visible pout appeared on your face as you turned your direction away from leaving and to the couch in front of the fireplace. You admit, you were being a bit silly acting this way since you would be seeing him later in the night, but you really didn’t understand why he had to work Christmas. Instead, he could be here, enjoying the lovely desserts Adelinde had made with you. If anything, you were starting to get a bit annoyed. Here you were, already dressed up pretty, wearing your new perfume gifted to you by the special man in question earlier in the morning, not able to go out as you had planned. You were so frustrated that you felt a tear surface but you blinked it back. It was silly to cry over this. There was no need to act this way over such a small matter.

An hour and a half had passed, and you noticed that none of the staff were in the room with you. They had been idly lurking around, preventing you from trying to leave once more but after Adelinde had given you a slice of pie and a blanket so you could lounge on the couch, it seemed they had assumed that you had given up your endeavors. Their mistake, because you had never take your shoes off and seeing that your opportunity was open, you quickly sprung up, grabbing your coat and quietly slipping out of the winery’s front door.

It was cold, bitterly cold. The wind nipped you as you pulled your coat tightly to you and there was a thin sheet of ice on the ground outside the door. You felt your nose and cheeks turning red already, so that just meant you had to be faster in your travels. You turned to make your escape only to run right smack dab into someone else. If you didn’t know any better, you would have assumed it was Adelinde and begged for forgiveness, but the figure was much too tall to be her.

“Trying to run away from here already, hm?” Diluc chuckled, planting a small kiss on the top of your head while he wrapped you in a hug. “I can tell you’ve already been using the gift I got you.” Before you could say anything, the winery owner was guiding you back inside, which you were thankful for since you were already freezing. You made a mental note that you probably wouldn’t last two seconds in Dragonspine.

Upon entering the winery once more, you were expecting to see the staff giving you dirty looks for making your escape. Instead, they were all giving you warm-hearted smiles. You think that worried you more. “I wanted to come see you while you were at work since it’s Christmas,” you said, looking up at Diluc. His eyes seemed to be glowing, giving him a very cheery and bright appearance. You noticed he kept the small braid you had done earlier, pulling it into the high ponytail he had his hair in.

“I appreciate the thought, my dear,” he responded, guiding you back to the couch you had just come from. Unknown to you, he looked at the winery staff members, which was a message to leave the room while he sat you down in front of the fire, to which they all obeyed immediately. The plate from your pie from earlier was gone now. “About that, y/n, I wasn’t at Angel’s Share.”

You blinked as you watched him give you a sorrowful expression. His cheeks were flushed from the cold outside, but he was warm to the touch. Maybe that’s why the staff was trying to keep you from leaving. “H-huh? What do you mean?”

“Well,” he started, looking over to the crackling fire, “there was a gift I really wanted you to have and today was the only day I could get it. And this was the most important gift I wanted you to receive, so I couldn’t pass it up. I’m sorry for lying to you, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for you.”

Your brows were furrowed as you felt him grab your hand and give it a little squeeze. “It’s okay, love, but you didn’t need to lie to me.” You shifted a bit closer to him and you could smell his cologne waft in the air around you. The moment felt tender and warm.

“I hope you can forgive me for that,” he said, almost bashful. “That’s not the point, though, dear.” He cleared his throat and took your other hand, bringing it to his lips to place a kiss on your knuckles. “I know this might be a bit sudden since we haven’t really talked about it, but I thought that this was the right moment. We’ve been together for almost four years now-”

“Are you breaking up with me?” You asked suddenly, interrupting him since you felt like maybe this conversation wasn’t going to end in the way you wanted it to. Your mouth worked faster than your brain this time, and you pressed a hand to your mouth out of shock.

Diluc’s eyes widened, and he blinked as his posture seemed to tense up before relaxing once more. “N-no,” he stammered before reaching into the coat he wore and pulling out the most beautiful ring you had ever seen. The diamonds in the golden ring caught the light from the fire just perfectly, making them glow like snowflakes in the winter sun. “I’m proposing to you.”

Now it was your turn to widen your eyes as you stared at the ring in disbelief. Diluc was right, this was a bit sudden, but you always imagined proposals were sudden and not always expected. Time seemed to slow down as your brain tried to form a coherent thought, but ultimately you were left speechless. Well, except for the eager “yes!” you exclaimed before grabbing him in a tight hug.

[rosenallies]

I'm feeling 20 for bimbo au? Like maybe Rosie having pent up anger from needing to work so much leading up to christmas and taking it out on Nali :( (obviously they need to make up within the same prompt hehe)

20. saying ugly things on Christmas eve they regret afterwards

——

“Rosie! You’re home!” Denali called excitedly as Rosé came in the front door, just in time for the Christmas Eve dinner he’d spent all afternoon preparing, even going so far as to light candles and dig out the good glassware.

Rosé held a finger up, signaling for Denali to wait as he was in the middle of a phone conversation. “Still working, babe, I just wanted to leave the office before the snow started,” he whispered, leaving Denali in the dust as he headed towards his home office still on the phone.

Denali’s breath caught in his throat as he tried not to cry looking at everything around him. How had Rosé not noticed the set table or the smell of dinner wafting through the house or even the nice new dress and full face of makeup Denali had put on just for him? Did he just not care?

Pulling himself together, Denali stomped down the hall after him, throwing open the door.

“Did you forget it’s Christmas Eve?”

“Denali, I’m on the phone,” he whisper shouted, frustration on his face and in his voice, “can this wait?”

Without thinking, Denali yanked his work phone from his hand, putting it up to his own ear.

“Hi, I’m really very sorry but it’s Christmas Eve and my partner needs to go. I’m sure he will reach out again after the holidays. Thanks and Merry Christmas!” He said, hanging up the phone while Rosé watched in shock.

“Why the fuck would you do that?” He stood up and shouted once it finally hit him what just happened, “that was important business and I’m fucked if this deal doesn’t go through! Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?”

“Yes, I know exactly what I did, I freed up your evening so you can spend it with me, who just spent all day making dinner and making everything nice for you because I felt bad you went to work on Christmas Eve and I wanted you to have something special to come home to. Does that mean nothing to you?!”

“Does it mean nothing to you that I have a fucking job to do?”

Denali hated the way his eyes stung with the need to cry, usually by how when they’d argue about this, Rosé would feel guilty and lay his weapons down, his weapons being his work phone and laptop and anything else having to do with work, but he didn’t back down this time.

“I just wanted to do something nice for you,” Denali said quietly, looking down at the floor to avoid Rosé’s angry gaze.

“Well, why don’t you just get out of my hair then? Someone has to work to pay all the bills around here and to afford all the shit you want all the time. Where did you even get that dress, hmm? I bet you put it on my credit card.”

Stomach sinking, Denali sniffled, playing with the hem of the dress. “Y-you picked it out,” he whispered, almost too quiet for Rosé to hear. He wiped the tears the fell down his cheek, not caring that it was smudging his makeup, “I guess I’ll just go.”

With that, he stormed out of the room as he really began to cry, leaving Rosé alone for the guilt to set in.

In the kitchen, Denali continued to cry as he cleaned up everything from dinner, his appetite gone. Once everything was clean and put away, he headed out to the balcony where he sat against the railing, his knees tucked to his chest as he sobbed, the cold air whipping around him.

He’d been out there for a while when Rosé found him, sighing and sitting on the bench in front of where he sat. “It’s cold out here,” Rosé said, matter of factly, a chill sending shivers down his spine.

“Then go inside,” Denali replied bitterly, not looking up. “You wanted me to leave you alone anyway.”

Rosé shook his head sadly, regret in the pit of his stomach. “I don’t ever want you to leave me alone.”

Denali looked up, red eyed and makeup a mess, making Rosé’s chest ache. “But you said-“

“I said a lot of things I didn’t mean,” Rosé admitted softly.

“You didn’t mean it?”

“No, baby, I didn’t. I spoke without thinking and I’m so sorry.”

“I’m sorry I hung up your phone call.”

“I shouldn’t have been on a phone call,” he said, holding his arms out for his partner as he started to cry again, “come here, baby.”

Denali crawled into Rosé’s lap, weeping into his neck and grasping onto his shirt. “I-I’m sorry, I won’t ask for things anymore and I won’t bother you, I’m so sorry, please don’t-“

“Hey, hey, no, shhh,” he cooed, “I don’t want you to stop doing those things, I didn’t mean any of it. I love you so much.”

“B-but you said I-I ask for so much and that you w-wanted me to leave.”

“I know, I know, I’m so sorry, baby. You deserve to have everything you want and I promise I never ever want you to leave,” his voice cracked, tears of his own blurring his vision, “it’s not an excuse I’m just so tired of working all the time.”

Denali lifted his head, cupping Rosé’s face and wiping away a stray tear with his thumb. “Then don’t, he sniffed, “all year you’ve been talking about selling the company. Do it in the new year, you’ve brought it up over and over again, I know it’s what you want even if you won’t fully admit it.”

“I know,” he nodded solemnly, “I’m just scared. Everything scares me.”

Gently kissing his cheek, Denali nuzzled into him for both warmth and comfort. “I know but I’ll be there every step of the way.”

Rosé buried his nose in Denali’s soft hair, inhaling his vanilla sugar shampoo. “I know you will, baby, you’re perfect like that. How about we head inside and we can have that dinner you were so sweet to prepare?”

“Okay, you’ll just have to let me go freshen up since I look like a mess now,” he chuckled, a hint of insecurity bleeding through.

Shaking his head, Rosé used the sleeve of his button up to wipe away as much of the smeared makeup on Denali’s face as he could, not caring that the fabric was now ruined. “There, you look perfect. Now, let’s go have a perfect Christmas, I even locked my office up with all my stuff inside and I’ll give you the key.”

The tree full of presents with his name on them be damned, Denali was sure just having Rosé to himself like this would make the perfect Christmas. He felt like crying tears of joy as he threw his arms around Rosé, squeezing him tightly. “I love you,” he said tenderly, meaning it to the core of his being.

“I love you too, darling, you are the most important thing to me in this whole world. Not work, not money, not material things. I’d give it all up for you.”

#I tried to give this ‘mine’ vibes <3 #I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street braced myself for the goodbye cause that’s all I’ve ever known #then you took me by surprise and said I’ll never leave you alone <3 <3 #prompt request

Santa Tell Me | part 1

✧ pairing: Choi Beomgyu x Female!Reader

✧ one-shot | Fluff and the tiniest bit of smut????

✧ part 1 | part 2

✧ summary: It’s your first Christmas with Beomgyu, and what better way to spend it than to spend it with him? You plan something for him, but he’s not the only one receiving a surprise.

✧ author’s note: Hi this is my first written piece on this new account. I had an old account for BTS scenarios from like 5 years ago, so I’m still rusty with writing and feedback would be much appreciated >//< Please be kind thank you ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ I’m hoping to write more in the near future, maybe I’ll take up requests hehe

✧ word count: 1.6k

It’s the night of Christmas Eve and you’re finishing up the decorations in the living room. You pick up a custom Christmas bauble from a delicately wrapped parcel, looking into the photograph of you and Beomgyu from your first date with a subtle smile lingering on your lips.

You and Beomgyu have been dating for less than 5 months but this is more than what you could ask for. It’s been a while since your last relationship ended and you were hesitant at first, though Beomgyu has shown you love from a different perspective, even within a short period of time.

Usually, you would either spend Christmas with your friends or family but since they live quite far, you previously had to celebrate by yourself. This Christmas, you wanted to make it extra special since your situation is much different from any of your past festivities.

Your phone’s screen lit up and you glance over to your phone on the table, squinting to read the name of the sender. Picking it up, you unlock your phone in excitement to receive the string of ongoing texts.

[Beomie♥, 8:15 PM] Hey Bubbie!

[Beomie♥, 8:15 PM] I’ll be home in a few minutes

[Beomie♥, 8:16 PM] I’m just wrapping up with the boys then I’m all yours ;p

You chuckle to yourself, never getting tired of your boyfriend’s quirkiness.

After adding the final ornament to the Christmas tree, you walk into the kitchen, preparing the snacks and stacking the CDs of holiday films for the movie marathon later tonight. Meanwhile, you stream Ariana Grande’s Santa Tell Me as background music while waiting for Beomgyu. You know that’s his favourite song and he’s been listening to it non-stop while counting down the days for Christmas, though it’s catchy enough to listen to it out of choice.

Being small has its advantages. You were able to hunt into Beomgyu’s wardrobe, yet again, to wear one of his oversized festive sweaters. You knew how much he loved seeing you in his clothes, which you’ve only done a couple of times.

You turn your head towards the door, hearing it open and shut. Slowly walking into the living room, your hands were behind your back and your eyes meet with Beomgyu’s sparkly ones.

“Oh? Don’t you look stunning, hm?” You snicker, shaking your head at Beomgyu’s compliment.

“Merry Christmas, baby!” You walked towards him, gently capturing him in a hug. His arms perfectly wrap around your figure and his hands rest at the small of your back.

Beomgyu turns his head around and his mouth a gape, while his eyes scanned the well-decorated living room, which was subtly lit up with fairy lights. He walks up to the Christmas tree, and with a small pout, he lightly holds the custom bauble.

You couldn’t help but laugh at his baby face. It was one of his little mannerisms that you’ve gradually learned to love. You already know you’ll never get tired of it.

“Why the face?” You walked up behind him, just close enough for you to wrap your arms around his waist, with your face slightly squished against his arm.

“You decorated the place for me?” He continued pouting. Out of the few months you’ve been dating, you knew how much he appreciated sentimental things. Even the simplest ones made him erupt in delight.

“Of course! Hey, I have something else for you, but you gotta close your eyes first.” Beomgyu scrunches up his face as soon as you placed your small hands over his eyes. His arms were stretched out like a zombie finding its next victim, and you couldn’t hold back your giggles.

“Aye, I’ll keep my eyes closed.” His arms reach out around him, with his fingers wiggling about, trying to find your waist. Both your laughs fill the room for a brief moment as you take a second to compose yourself.

"Okay, now slowly walk straight in front of you.” You say while attempting to guide him to the kitchen counter without walking into any furniture in the hallway.

“Why slowly?” Beomgyu started speed walking, and he giggled, listening to you shout at him while you struggled to keep your hands placed on his face.

“Yah, stop, stop, stop,” You lift your hands from his eyes, “keep your eyes closed-” You slip between his still figure and the counter top.

“You can open your eyes now.” As he opened his eyes you were somewhat stood aside and his eyes enlarged, scanning the cute basket of snacks and the films you prepared earlier.

You assumed he would pick up the CDs and attempt to choose which film to watch first, but to your bewilderment, Beomgyu picked you up from your waist and seated you on the counter. He was stood between your legs just as he continued hugging you tightly.

“Thank you so much. For everything.” His lips came close to your ears and his voice lingers for a second.

“I have something for you too, actually.” You furrow your brows out of confusion. Did your surprise just bounce back to you?

You shrieked in surprise as Beomgyu picked you up and gently settled you down onto the sofa. He walked over to pick up one of the gifts under the tree and sat down beside you.

“I hope you like this.” He sounded so confident. Counting on his statement like there is no otherwise.

You took the gift bag from his fingers and opened it to reveal a set of lace lingerie in the shade of royal blue. At that, your face lit up. You felt blood rushing to your cheeks and instantly knew it was visible from his perspective. It wasn’t that you were embarrassed. It was more over the fact that you two haven’t been able to go as far as making out since the both of you were always busy.

Maybe tonight things will change.

Beomgyu’s hand rested on your cheek and caressed your soft skin with his thumb. You leaned into the palm of his hand and his face inched closer.

Before you knew it, his lips found yours, something you were familiar with. His other hand finds your waist and carefully rides up the side of the sweater,  gradually exposing your waist. You loved the feeling of his hand grazing along your bare skin, already feeling your heart racing.

It was always sweet with Beomgyu, but this demeanour was something new, something you could get used to. His hand left your cheek and slid to the back of your neck, carefully laying you down on the sofa as he somewhat hovered above you. You felt his soft lips leave yours and trail down your neck as you let out a breathy moan.

He continued attacking your neck with tender kisses, alternating between quick bites here and there, as hues of pale purple and blues bloomed from your skin. Your hands reached up to the back of his head, with your fingers intertwined in his hair. It was your turn to get a reaction from him, suddenly leading you to tug on his hair and successfully earning a low groan from him.

His hands were back under the sweater and up against your skin. Once again, skilfully skimming up and down your sides, he lifts up the thick material to reveal your bare chest.

“Ugh, you’re so beautiful.” He sighs. His eyes scans your body, with adoration, underneath him. You placed one hand on his wrist, halting any of his sudden movements.

“So do you not want me to wear this tonight?” You asked him ever so softly, imitating his pout. That was Beomgyu’s weakness. Seeing you behave so innocently when he knows that’s not the case.

He let out another groan, shutting his eyes, contemplating whether he could manage to stop or to take you right then and there.

“I guess I can wait for tonight.” He suddenly came to a conclusion, in which, to your surprise, was quite unexpected.

You let out a little laugh and your fingers found their way to his dark hair, combing it out of his face. Beomgyu leaned in again, gently placing short kisses on your forehead, nose then lips.

“Don’t worry, I’m all yours tonight, remember?” You reminded him. With that, he cutely nodded his head and rested it in the crook of your neck.

You felt Beomgyu’s finger trace light circles on your stomach under the sweater. Usually you’d be very ticklish, but in this case it was more relaxing than you even expected it to be.

“Hey, baby?” You felt Beomgyu’s weight shift on top of you for a split second.

"Yes, Gyu?” You waited for his response, though you anticipated longer than you thought you would.

“This is my first Christmas in a relationship. Thank you for making it special.” He nuzzles his head into the warmth of your neck, with his smile against your skin.

“It’s our first Christmas together, and I hope we have many more.” You smile as you speak. At that second you were content with everything. It’s a shame you weren’t able to celebrate with your family but you have Beomgyu, and you couldn’t wish for it to be any other way.

Beomgyu hovers over you, once again, and his lips places a chaste kiss on yours. This time there was no sense of hunger or lust, but more genuine and loving. His hand crept up to your face and repeatedly caressed your cheek.

“I still can’t believe you decorated without me.” He huffed and you rolled your eyes at Beomgyu, playfully pushing his chest off your torso and watched him break out into a loud laugh.

“You idiot. I love you.” You left him a quick peck on his lips before getting up about to walk to the kitchen for the snacks.

All you could hear was his laughter echoing in the living room, “I love you so much, beautiful.”

Strawberry Fields

Word count: ~2.7k

pairing: idol!Tae x idol!namedReader

Summary: You have worked hard to be where you are now. A collaboration comes up and along with it comes an old friend.

A/N: Hey @i4taee! I'm your Secret Santa ❄! This is late, I know, but (belated) Merry Christmas! I hope you like and enjoy this short work! Let me know what you think!

Named Reader - Pepper (stage name: Jane)

Far Side (Unit) - Jane, Soohyun, Jungkook, Taehyung

Rest of LUNA :Lina, Hara

Huchu is black pepper. ( your name really reminds me of Mrs. Pepper from Blue’s Clues. Her name may be spicy but she’s caring AF)

Please excuse mistakes. This is highly unedited.

"Here", said Soohyun as she hands you a water bottle. You raise a hand to accept it but remain splayed on the floor, trying to control your breathing. The new choreography for the upcoming comeback is a little harder than usual and you feel happy that you've got it down to pat. It has been a year since you debuted and your group, Luna, has been steadily growing more and more popular. All of the sacrifices you've made since moving back to Korea to be an idol has really paid off.

You raise your other hand towards Soohyun. She just chuckles as she pulls on your hand to help you sit up. "hehe, thank you~ Love you unnie!" you tease her as you open the bottle and take a swig of water. You look around to find Lina talking to one of your managers. Hara is nearby and is slowly stretching her limbs, She looks at you and mouths ``stretch". You smile at her and start stretching to cool your muscles down.

You are almost done stretching when the manager claps to gain everyone's attention. Well, everyone that's left in the practice room, you mused. "Alright, girls, gather here. I have some news” Soojin, the manager, says. Your group all gather and sit down to listen. "We have received an offer or a collab. We're not sure who yet but it will be someone from the BigHit Ent as the merger has now been finalized. We need two of you girls so we can form a 4 member unit group." Soojin looks expectantly to the 4 of you. "Any volunteers?"

A collab isn't really a surprise as it is a nice opportunity, but since the other members of the new unit have not yet been decided on, all of you are a bit hesitant to volunteer. " We're all all-rounders so... how about we draw lots? Makes it a bit more fair so there shouldn't be any hard feelings” Lina suggests, looking around for confirmation.

"sounds good!"

"sure."

"okay!"

Soojin takes four pieces of paper, marks two, folds and shuffles them. All four of you take one each and open it. "well, it seems like Soohyun and Pepper are going to be tributes. I'll let the team know so we can set a meeting to plan it out. We should be good for today. Let's get you girls some food and go home" Finally, you can rest for today.

Two days pass and a meeting is called. Both of you and Soohyun finish your schedules early to attend the meeting. Just as you walk into the conference room, you remember that the two other members of the unit are still a mystery to you.

You push open the door and see a group of males huddled around one end of the table. It's almost funny how two familiar heads turn around to look at your group at the same time sporting exactly the same facial expression. Almost.

If it isn't for the fact that two members of the most popular boy group of the company, you would have laughed out loud. Instead, your breath hitches as you see a face that bears a resemblance to a face you remember from your childhood. His chubby cheeks are gone but the same box smile and warm eyes greet you. Taehyung, in the flesh, so different yet still the same from what you remember.

"Hello! Sorry we're a little late, the girls had to do an interview. We came as soon as we could." Soojin says as she walks to the table and sits on one of the free chairs. You and Soohyun follow suit, bowing and letting out a greeting before sitting down.

"It's alright, we weren't waiting for too long. I don't think everyone has been formally introduced. I'm Sejin, one of the managers of BTS. Alright, boys?" A man which you rightfully assumed to be the manager says, shifting his gaze to the boys.

"Hello! I'm Jeon Jungkook." "Kim Taehyung" Both boys say as they give small bows. "Im Soohyun" says Soohyun as she bows. "Hello, I'm Jane, please take care of us" you say as you bow. As you straighten up, you look at Taehyung. He looks a bit disinterested.

"Now that's out of the way, let's get started." Sejin smiles as he takes out a notepad.

"The promotions will have to be short so it doesn't burn them out as they both have other schedules, especially that Luna has a comeback lined up." Sejin says as he closes his notepad. "I'll send over the notes later so we can iron everything out through email."

It has been a few hours since the meeting began and you are happy that it had gone well. After years of being together as trainees, Soohyun knows you like the back of her hand and you happily let her take the reins when coming up with suggestions to offer in the planning, occasionally nodding and letting out content hmms when she mentions something that you really like. By the end of the meeting, most of the details just need finalization.

Meanwhile, Taehyung is observing both of you and Soohyun quite intensely. He also gives suggestions for the collaboration. He's not happy that you're just there listening instead of actively participating. Being given a part of the planning process is an honor that not all artists in the industry are given. He finds it disappointing that you look like you do not want to use this chance. He dislikes that kind of attitude but ultimately decides that he does not know you well enough to judge. He'll see how it goes then.

A couple of weeks pass and everything goes smoothly. The song has been finalized and the recording sessions go without a hitch. The song is easy to sing and that could only mean one thing, the choreography likely would be hard.

Just as predicted, the choreography is hard and complex. Which brings you to where you are now- on the floor, trying to catch your breath after rounds and rounds of dancing to the same song. It's almost perfect. between you and Soohyun, you're the weaker dancer. You know that, so you practice harder to make it look as perfect as you can while still maintaining the authenticity and life of the performance.

"You know, I kinda hate you. I'm tired and I just wanna lie down and rest but seeing you run through the choreo again and again makes me feel like I'm lazy so I end up running it through with you. Look at them, they're done resting and are about to leave and we're still here!" Soohyun whines as she slowly starts her cooldown stretches. You chuckle and turn your head towards her. You see Jungkook and Taehyung in the mirror, both sitting down on the couch on their phones. You smile and slowly get up to start cooling down. You tease her for being whiny while doing so.

Taehyung sneaks glances towards you. There's more to you than what he saw during the meeting. Your work ethic has been wonderful and he could see how dedicated you are to the collaboration even if you already have a lot on your plate because of the comeback promotions that LUNA currently has. He can't shake off the feeling that you're familiar though. He's not sure if he has met you before. Apparently, he said his thoughts out loud as he heard Jungkook snicker. "Hyung, I don't think that's gonna work on idols. Pick another pick-up line if you're gonna ask her out."

Taehyung's head snaps towards Jungkook. "I'm not gonna ask her out. I'm just genuinely wondering if I know her or something." Taehyung says as he pouts. Jungkook stands up from the couch and pulls up his bag which was sitting beside him and lets out a soft laugh. "Well, I won't be surprised if you do, she's really pretty." Taehyung hums as he stands up as well. He casts one last glance towards you before he leaves.

There's just one more day before release day. Your schedules have been intense but bearable and practices for the collaboration ramped up even more. It's fun to joke around with both boys. Jungkook might be the senior when it comes to experience in the industry but he still treats you and Soohyun with respect (it might be the fact that both of you are his Noona, but you're not gonna complain). Taehyung is still as adorable and kind as you remember. Breaks in between practices are never dull.

"I told you, you don't pronounce it that way. It's different in satoori!, listen." You playfully scold Soohyun as she tries to imitate Taehyung but hilariously fails causing both boys to crackle. You do the impression instead. "woah, you're good!" Taehyung exclaims as Jungkook exaggerates his shock.

"Hahaha, she's a fake foreigner. She's so good since she was born and raised in here before she had to move." Soohyun explains. "She was mean before when we first met her. We were excited to have a foreigner trainee but were also scared that she wouldn't be able to understand Korean or the customs. We thought she couldn't understand it at first and ended up discussing in front of her how to approach her, then proceeded to make fools of ourselves by trying to speak to her in broken english." Soohyun pouts and makes a face at you.

"for the record, I found it amusing and horrifying at the same time when you girls did that. How was I supposed to break it to you that I knew korean? Not gonna lie though, it was very flattering that you called me pretty." you said softly, chuckling at the memory.

"Noona, when did you move? Was it hard to adjust to a different country?" Jungkook asked. "hmmm, well, it was after I graduated primary school so it has been a long time, I guess? I had to move because of my parent's work. It was a bit difficult to be honest but you do what you can do." you answered.

"Wait, now that I remember, you're around the same age as Taehyung right? you're just around a year younger?" Soohyun asked. You nodded as a response. "Oh. Then that means it's around 7 years ago? You really are a fake foreigner! you only stayed away for what, 4 years?" Soohyun exclaimed.

7 years ago? Taehyung thought. That's the same year that Huchu moved away. Now that he thinks about it, maybe that's why you feel familiar? Maybe because you remind him of her?

"Oh, okay. Where in Korea did you used to stay?" Taehyung blurts out . Jungkook glances at him and a smirk slowly forms on his face but Taehyung chooses to ignore him. You shift your attention from Soohyun to look at him and start to speak. "can you repea-" "alright guys, back to position! Break's over, so let's get this done so we can rest for tomorrow's release" the choreographer announces as he claps his hands to gain everyone's attention.

"oh, sorry. I didn't hear what you asked earlier. Can you repeat it, please?" you asked him. Jungkook and Soohyun had already started to go back to their positions. Taehyung looks at the choreographer and decides to shelf the question later. 'It's alright, we should go back now, hyung looks like he's gonna be mad" taehyung says as he walks to the designated area. You follow and another round of practice begins again.

The next day begins and it has been a flurry of activity. Waking up early to get ready and psyching yourselves up for the performance later is easier said than done. It's only a few minutes to go before you get called to perform and you feel nervous. You don't know how the fans will receive your unit group. You guys look good, make up and stage clothing near perfect to what was planned. The only problem? Your expression.

Soohyun can see and feel your nerves but there's nothing that she could do. She knows your capabilities and knows that you will not mess up but it's your own head that's you're against and she feels she might say the wrong words instead. So she leaves you some space to calm down while keeping an eye on you. Jungkook tries to keep the mood light by goofing around, just enough to engage Soohyun. You look at them as you try to take deep breaths and take your mind off of negative scenarios.

"It's always a bit nerve-wrecking before the first performance. You think that after almost 4 years of experience after debut, I wont get nervous but in reality, I still do too." Taehyung says in a low voice. You turn your head to your left and see Taehyung standing quietly next to you. You try to smile but end up taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh.

"yeah, but I'm not usually this nervous though." You softly say and look down at your shoes. Taehyung looks at you and says, "You know, an old friend of mine gave me some wonderful advice before when I started to dream of becoming a singer. I was always so nervous in front of a lot of people so she told me to think of them as strawberry plants in a field and just to give my best performance that I could. It still helps me to this day." You raise your head to look at him only to see him grinning at you. A grin also forms on your face. "I don't think you remember that. I used to think it was a childish method but I'm glad it still works! Thanks Tae " you say, letting out a soft chuckle. "okay Far Side, on the stage please!" a staff member announces. You stretch your muscles a bit and begin to walk towards Soohyun and Jungkook, leaving taehyung behind. Then it finally clicks for him. It is Huchu.

The performance goes smoothly. Not that anybody expects any different. You are walking off the stage with Soohyun to return to your dressing room to change when Taehyung speeds up to catch up. "Ah, I just wanted to ask, is Jane your stage name?" Taehyung asks. You turn to him and nod. "Yes. My stage name is different from my real name. My real name is Pepper." You try to keep your face neutral but fail to do so as a small smile forms. I guess he remembers after all? you think. Taehyung looks a bit shocked as you hear him call you with a name you haven't heard in a long time before he engulfs you in how to aa hug. "Huchu! It is you!" You let yourself go and return his hug with a big smile on your face.

"I guess you owe Noona 50,000 won." You hear Soohyun say somewhere near you. You and Taehyung separate and turn to Soohyun. Jungkook was pouting beside her. "Hyung, I really thought that you'd ask her out by now." You and Taehyung look at each other before laughing.

"Why did you think that? What's the bet?" You ask. "The bet was if Taehyung would ask you out for a date by release day. Soohyun noona bet that you two are old friends. I didn't think I would lose since Hyung didn't seem to remember you." Jungkook explains, still making a face to express his disappointment. "Did you know if they were old friends, Soohyun noona?" he asks.

"No, I didn't actually know. All I know was both of them were from Daegu originally. I guess it was dumb luck after all, hahaha. Now for the 50,000 won, would that be cash or check?" Soohyun holds out her hand towards Jungkook, eyebrows wiggling to tease him.

Taehyung turns to face you, happy to see an old friend again. "I can't believe it. It's you. It's been years. How have you been?" You take your gaze away to focus on taehyung. "I don't think that a few minutes in a hallway can cover seven years worth of updates, Taehyung " you playfully chide him. He just nods and says, "how about we grab a strawberry smoothie sometime then?"

A/Npt2. - You have reached the end! I hope you enjoyed it.

Kamil Stoch, Planica 2020

Planica. The valley looked spectacular this time of the year - a true Winter Wonderland. Heaps of snow seemed to be growing with every single day, enclosing them by a white bubble within the literal bubble they were living in. It was entirely different than in March, and although it wasn’t especially easy to have a ski flying competition so early in the season, in the omnipresent fog and the darkness of the evening, he wouldn’t exchange it for anything else.

He loved flying, and this was always one of his favorite hills. Once upon a time, he had set here a record; Ryoyu had taken that achievement away from him two years later, but that wasn’t important. What was important was the joy of flying, of being able to soar high and feel satisfied with himself. He always looked forward to those comps with thrill and biggest anticipation, and this year, even though the circumstances couldn't have been weirder, he was not disappointed. Every effort made here was definitely worth it. If he only had such power, he would fill the majority of the calendar with the ski flying hills.

The virus had made it impossible to hold the championships when they had been due; he was grateful that, despite everything that was happening, they could still gather here over half a year later to fight to become the Ski Flying World Champion. The only title he still lacked in his collection.

It didn’t change this year. He managed to finish in the top ten; it was a good result, though still far from perfect, far from his ambitions. It wasn’t bad, of course, but could have been much better. He was a professional through and through, and believed some things could always be improved - higher speed, longer jumps, better landing. He could have done it better, especially this day - some of his jumps made him feel angry at himself, leaving a bitter aftertaste in their wake. But this day he wasn’t fighting alone, luckily, and the team effort was what got them where they were right now.  

This day wasn’t about him. This day was about his team, celebrating their third place, their own personal victory. And they had every reason to celebrate it.

“I guess our podium isn’t so asymptomatic, hehe,” he heard behind him and turned around to see Piotrek standing there with his typical wide grin.

“No, I guess it isn’t.” They were still reeling with all the emotions surrounding the flower ceremony, the medals hanging proudly from their necks. “You had to show off, didn’t you?”

“Duh. That’s what I’m here for.” Piotrek bit into his medal and smirked at Kamil through it. Kamil chuckled, Piotrek’s antics never ceasing to make him laugh. Even in his darkest days, his teammate’s high spirits had always pushed him towards the sun.

He looked at Dawid who was still conversing with the journalists, something Kamil had already done, much to his relief. His teammate had conquered his back pain and managed to rise to the occasion, as usual. Andrzej stood not far from Dawid, proud of himself for even being in the team, not to mention on the podium. He had been absolutely on fire during the championships, and Kamil could not be more proud of him. It had probably been Andrzej’s determination that got them that podium. Well, him and Piotrek’s love of flying, most probably.

They all seemed tired, but that wasn’t surprising - those had been rather draining days, both physically and emotionally. In a good way, though.

The virus made some things a little bit crazy, but the moment when he had handed his colleagues the medals was special in so many ways. He was proud of his team, and being able to somewhat reward them for their efforts felt so good he would like to have that moment on constant repeat. The bronze snowflakes shining on them just as brightly as the smiles on their faces, seen even through the masks. Such joy could not be contained.

Soon, they will have to slowly start preparing for the Four Hills Tournament and think only about it. But today, they could rejoice. Nothing was going to take that day away from them.

They will be back here in March, and hopefully, it will be even better. Planica will be waiting for them, glorious as ever, and Kamil already felt a thrill of excitement at that thought. March was so far away, everything could change until then. He wanted to believe it would be even better than it was now.

And even if it wouldn't be better... it will still be Planica. And he will love it no matter what.

December

not your typical christmas themed blurb hehe! inspired by ariana grande’s song “december” which you can listen to here!

word count: 798

~~~~~

Shawn opened the front door of the condo and was met with complete silence. He immediately knew it was odd considering the fact that it was Christmas Eve and his family was coming over in a few hours for dinner. He expected to hear Michael Bublè’s Christmas album playing from the speakers and to find you dancing and singing along while trying to efficiently cook the holiday meal.

But you weren’t. 

In fact, the whole condo was quiet and he had no idea where you could’ve been. He had spent enough holidays with you to know that you would usually be rushing around right about now. Thoughts clouded with confusion, he moved to the kitchen and found a single green piece of paper with your recognizable handwriting across it and a tiny bow stuck to the corner.

His eyes fell to the words as he read what you wrote on the little note.

gonna love you, gonna give you all I can, baby boy xx

“What in the world is she up to?” Shawn mumbled under his breath, trying to figure out what the statement meant. Just as he lifted his eyes from the paper though, he spotted another one taped to the wall near the staircase. 

Holding the first note in his tattooed, Shawn walked over and gently pulled the paper down. He really had no idea what you were doing, but played along with the game anyway. With you, it was always interesting and never boring, so he knew following these mysterious notes would lead to something.

Once again, his eyes fell to the words sprawled across the red piece of paper and a small gasp escaped his lips as he read what you had written.

whatever’s on your list, I’ll do it. whatever it is, you know I’ll do it.

Shawn knew just by the two simple sentences that you didn’t have an innocent intention. A smirk pulled at the corners of his lips at the thought of you waiting upstairs for him with whatever surprise you were planning. 

Eagerly rushing up the stairs, he passed by every door as he approached the one that closed off the shared bedroom. Shawn softly padded down the hallway and his breath hitched when he found another note on a second piece of green paper. Running his hand through curls and trying to wipe the grin off his face, he pulled it from the door to read what you wrote this time.

merry christmas, here I am, baby. I’m the present and you know it xx

Biting his lip as a smirk blossomed on his face and his cheeks became hot with blush, he rested his hand on the doorknob while reading the words over and over again. A fire was burning in his lower stomach now as his heart raced uncontrollably. Shawn had an idea what was waiting for him, he knew you were going to exceed his expectations like always.

Slowly pushing the door open and stepping into the room, Shawn’s breath was completely stolen away as his gaze fell onto the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen. 

There you were, his stunning girlfriend, laying on the freshly made bed wearing nothing but his favorite red, lace lingerie set. Your knees were bent and legs spread apart giving him a perfect view. Your hair was fanned across the pillow as your fingers delicately danced across your body and that familiar look that drove him crazy was evident in your gorgeous eyes. A suggestive smile graced your pink lips as you watched him intently. Shawn was struggling to take in every detail and the thoughts running through his mind were extremely far from pure.

Shawn’s gaze was locked on yours as he crossed the room towards the bed and he came to a stop at the end to see you from the angle he loved the most. As he let his eyes travel over every inch of you, the bulge in his tight skinny jeans becoming more prominent by the second, he spotted one last note nestled between your thighs right over your clothed heat.

Deciding to tease you as much as you were to him, Shawn leaned forward on his forearms and bit the paper between his teeth. A sharp gasp escaped your lips as his head emerged from between your thighs and Shawn couldn’t help but grin at his affect on you. 

Finally, taking the paper from his mouth while his hazel eyes full of love and lust remained on yours, Shawn read what you had written on this note.

unwrap me now, been waiting since midnight.

It was all Shawn needed to crawl up the bed and hungrily kiss you while letting his hands wander across your body before passionately making love to you.

"Ah Shuichi, hope the holidays have treated you good so far." Kamille greeted with a small grin as he approached the detective before offering a wrapped up package, inside would be a black scarf with grey stripes and a set of cufflinks resting on top. "Merry Christmas."

“Hi, Kamille: thank you! Mmhm, it’s been nice, spending time with family and friends, hehe... I hope your Christmas Eve was nice as well, and that your Christmas day is just as great! Oh?” He gives a curious blink at the package Kamille presents him, smiling as he accepts it.

“For me? Thank you.. if it’s okay, I’ll open it right now...!” Shuichi takes a moment to open the package, giving a small gasp when seeing the scarf and cufflinks. “Ohhh... this scarf looks so nice! And feels so nice, too...” He can’t help but put it around his neck, chuckling. “It’s so warm, too... I’m definitely going to wear it out next time. And these cufflinks look nice, too... when I wear it with a dress shirt, I’ll definitely show you, heheh... thank you so much for these gifts, Kamille: they’re great! You made today even better. I’ll make sure to take excellent care of them.”

#BLESS U KAMILLE... #i love... #he really likes his gifts... #Shuichi answers;; #pulseofthestars

[lululawrence]

Hey! Have you read any good abo fics recently?

ahehehehehe okay, so, i put this off until now because i needed to be able to look at a few things. so, by recently i am taking that to mean since i last did an a/b/o fic rec, which apparently was june of last year (and january before that). that’s far too long ago, meaning this rec is going to have about 30 fics on it. hahahaha i’m putting them in no particular order other than the order i bookmarked them in, meaning most recent bookmarks will be last, so if june of last year wasn’t recent enough, you’ll wanna scroll a bit. :D

I have also written two more a/b/o fics since my last rec, so i’ll start with a bit of self promo and then start lauding the work of others (hope you don’t mind)

The World Will Open Its Arms - this one is actually one of my more popular fics from last year, which i wasn’t expecting at all. haha my entire goal for this fic was to take a feeling i got while listening to a song on a random drive to take my daughter to her ice skating camp and capture it in a fic. i think i did, and i love the little bit of insight we get into their lives with this one. pregnant and unbonded omega harry, alpha louis. :)

How I Feel Inside - i wrote this one also for wordplay, and while there’s omega harry and alpha louis in there, the real focus of the fic is the fact that niall is missing. you find out why at the end, so i’ll try not to give it away, but i did it kinda as a gag and a joke and loved it so i hope you enjoy it too hahaha

okay! and now to the rest. Let’s do this.

Take What's Mine by @jaerie / jaerieall i’m really gonna say about this one is i first read it as a dark fic read and then she took it off anon so i figured if she was brave enough to say she wrote it then i was brave enough to say i loved it haha so here we are. it’s a bit of a dark fic but is ultimately healing and beautiful imo.

was it all a fake? by @jaerie / jaerieso this is a fic i didn’t realize she was gonna publicly gift to me and i asked for it, so fair enough, but i love it. i love it and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, so please, like with the fic before, check the tags (i feel like this rec isn’t starting well with me warning about things before people read them, but i really do love these hahaha)

These Lover's Eyes by chasingxrabbitswhat i love most about this fic is it’s a pack fic. i feel like packs are something that used to be explored more in older a/b/o fics in the fandom but that it is often ignored unless it’s in the almost tribal sense of packs, and this is very different. like the summary literally reads “A/B/O verse where Liam is an alpha, Josh, Niall, Louis, and Harry are his betas and an unlikely little omega stumbles into the picture.” and i can’t really say much more than that, but i love it so much. haha so if you’re looking for a totally different dynamic to this verse, this older fic will defo give you that. (if someone also wants to kind of explore this idea and dynamic in their own ways as well, please tag me when you post lol)

hard to confess by @hereforlou / hereforlouACCIDENTAL MPREG! gosh i love fics like this so much and they did this one really well. accidental mpreg with assumptions made that might not be entirely correct and friends to lovers and just SO MUCH GOODNESS OKAY

Desire A/B/o series by @reminiscingintherain / reminiscingintherainthis series is an established relationship, somewhat canon compliant a/b/o series that was such fun to read. super fluffy, super sweet, super cute. basically, if the dark fics i kinda started this rec with aren’t your thing, this probably is. lol

I'm Sure It Happens To All Alphas by @jaerie / jaerieALPHA. LOUIS. HAS TROUBLE. POPPING A KNOT. gosh i died reading this fic. i love it so much. she works her magic, as usual, and does it in style.

The Wilds by @jaerie / jaerieThis fic was just. it was wow. it was such an interesting world for things to take place in and fascinating how it all played out. there are quite a few sensitive subjects that this does broach, so while i wouldn’t necessarily say it is a dark fic, you do need to be sensitive to the tags, so please be careful with those!

You Gotta Swim, Swim For Your Life series by @jaerie / jaeriei swear i do read a/b/o that isn’t done by jenna. lollll but this series is so good. it’s a really incredible fic that takes you through harry’s journey with grief and illness and all sorts of things, so if that’s triggering for you, then please don’t read this, but it’s so so so beautifully done. the emotions in this series are gorgeous.

Where You Lay by @ham-palpert / HamPalpertTHIS FIIIIIIC! gosh it’s a perceived enemies to friends with benefits to lovers fic but there’s such a journey along the way. it’s so so so amazing. it ended and i just felt so complete. hahaha it’s one of those fics. so yeah, love love love.

The Nearness of You by @louisalbumnow / theweightofmywordsTHIS FIC. the nesting in this fic! the description and emotions and just ALL OF IT. it’s just gold. in a 2k wrapper. it’s amazing. i don’t even have words just read it.

One Love by @13ways-of-looking / 13waysthis fic is SO EMOTIONAL. it hit me hard and was another one of those that packs a lot into few words. it was so interesting and a really fascinating world and just. yeah. it’s a great read!

I'll Take Care Of You by @dimpled-halo / dimpled_halojacky wrote me a part 2 of my fic for my birthday! she wrote the part 1 for my birthday too, so i guess she loves me a lot if she was willing to revisit it and write me some more. i love this ‘verse so much, though. the throw back to high school/college like it’s done here is so pure and complex and i love it.

I Know How To Whisk (But Teach Me Anyway) by @2tiedships2 / 2tiedships2mel comes and delivers another great a/b/o fic! i love how she always ties in the idea of soulmates with her fics. and this one is so fun and i love that it entirely revolves around an obsession with a bakery hahaha a great read, as always!

Alpha Seeking Alpha by @jaerie / jaerieOKAY OKAY OKAY. i love this one too. gosh i say that about everyone of these, don’t i? i suppose it’s a fic rec so i would hope i love them all but i’m not thinking well tonight so all you’re getting is read this cause i love it but like ALPHA/ALPHA THROUGH A SERVICE AND JUST AAAHHHHHHH

I Wanna Be More Than Friends by @2tiedships2 / 2tiedships2this is my fav mel fic yet. i kept throwing ideas at her hoping something would stick and then she came up with something completely unique that i’d never heard of before and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. alpha harry does not have a sense of smell. OMGGGGGGGG anyway. toooootally amazing twist on the a/b/o verse.

If I Loved You Less by @allwaswell16 / allwaswell16REGENCY A/B/O!!!! did you hear me? I SAID REGENCY A/B/O!!! With side shiall! i adored this fic because even through the end i was like HOW ARE THEY GONNA MAKE THIS WORK but it does and it’s magical and so great. gosh. so so great.

The Unsuccessful Promise by trysomecatsthis fic actually just got a part 2 added recently and i only just read that part 2 last night! lol good timing, i suppose! anyway, this one is sooooo fun because it’s got feisty didn’t think he’d be an omega louis with super sweet and obviously misunderstood harry with louis’ parents being ZIAM!!! it was a fun story that i really enjoyed reading lol my fav part might have actually been zayn and liam, i loved how they were written

Moments Like These Are To Die For by @fourdrunksluts / alienharrythis is one of those fics that sucked me in and spat me out afterwards and i keep thinking about it! months later i still think about this fic. it stayed with me and i love it. it’s an arranged marriage royalty au where harry and louis are from different packs and AHHHHHHHHH i love it so so so much. PLUS!!! THERE’S AN ACE CHARACTER!!! AN ACE CHARACTER IN AN A/B/O!?!?! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! so yeah this fic means a lot to me and i love it so much so please read it.

Your Touch Is The Only Thing I Feel by @2tiedships2 / 2tiedships2mel delves into touch depri here and i love that being explored! i felt like she did it in a different way than i’d seen it in other fics too, so i really like that as well. as usual, the relationship dynamics in her fics are spot on and hysterical while also making you just love every second. 

The light is coming by @pocketsunshineharry / ishiplouislisten. i have a soft spot for hurt/comfort, especially in a/b/o, and this fic just harnesses ALL OF THAT and makes it just. i can’t. i can’t say much more but i just loved this dynamic and how much louis just needed help and the war within himself and frustration with that but harry was patient and did what he could to help and it was just so great.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year series by @2tiedships2 / 2tiedships2louis and harry didn’t exactly have the best first meeting hahaha it’s okay, though, because niall is there to force them to be friends. this is a super fun christmassy/birthday style two part series that not only explores the up to the point of finding louis’ alpha, but also what comes after that. it’s a lot of fun and i loved it hehe

Do Not Falter (There's a Star Ahead) by @londonfoginacup / LadyLondonderryNESTING HARRY. NESTING OMEGA HARRY. NESTING OMEGA HARRY NEEDING A SAFE PLACE. MUTUAL PINING. CHRISTMAS EVE. AHHHHHH this fic is short and sweet and i want to sit and sink into harry’s nest. it evokes the same warmth and almost magical feel all of emmu’s fics do. i love it.

Whatever Souls Are Made Of

Summary: It had been three years since Gar last saw Rae, and he was still reminded of her in the most trivial little things. A post-Christmas fic.

It had been three years since Gar last saw Raven in person. Of course there had been a few calls here and there, but both sides were courteous enough not to sustain the calls for longer than necessary. Sometimes, he wonders if Raven was just being her usual self—he knew her, he knew that she was untrusting, she was skeptic, she doubted. And despite the fact that Garfield was among the few whom she trusted, he didn’t become complacent. He didn’t want to intrude or to impose. 

Besides, it had been three years already. 

What did he know about how she was doing?

He knew nothing anymore. He was brave enough to admit that. He was a realistic and pragmatic person now; he grew up. Should teen Garfield be present, he would pride himself that he had permeated through the brazen thick walls Raven had built around herself.

Before the team broke up, Garfield became confused. He was spending more time with Raven—they would hang out in her room, she’d show him some few harmless spells (how to establish a bond between familiar and sorceress, how to convert dried flowers to charms). It was a two-way street: Raven, on her part, met Gar halfway. She hang out with him, accompanied him to stupid arcades despite the blinding flashing lights and loud noises. One time, when chilling in the living room of the Titans Tower, Garfield playfully placed his headphones on Raven’s ears.

“What the—“

“Listen to this, Rae. Just give it a shot.”

She gave him a doubting look. “I don’t know, Beast Boy, you’re too loud for my liking. I’m sure your songs are too loud as well.”

“Yet you choose to hang out with me rather than turn me down,” he said. To this, Raven felt her cheeks heat up. She only hoped he did not see the red creep up in her cheeks.

Garfield fiddled through his phone, scrolling through his songs on his playlist. Raven tried peeking at his list to see if there were any familiar song. Suddenly, a song blasted through Gar’s headphones.

When Raven first heard the song, she gave Gar a questioning look. Beast Boy? This song? He listened to songs like this? That night, when she was in bed, Raven listened to the song Gar made her listen to earlier. Garfield had no idea of the little efforts Raven made to meet him halfway.

It was no brainer that Garfield and Raven were at the polar ends of a spectrum. Their compatibility even as friends are so, well, low. Raven would much rather isolate herself from the company of people; if she chose however to be with people, she would want to be with those who understand her. She loved Robin’s beautiful mind, and how reassuring he was of a friend. For Raven, Robin was the complementary muslin darkness to her moon. While Gar on the other hand, who was poor in handling his internal strife would prefer the company of those who could provide him the ability of forgetting his scars temporarily. People like Vic—and Terra even—made him forget that he was a monster. 

Clearly, Raven and Gar would be each other’s last option for a good company. 

Yet there they were, in front of the local theatre entrance three summers ago.

“A stage play? Really?” Raven raised her eyebrows at Garfield. At first, it appeared to her that maybe he was trying too hard. Theaters were simply not his interest, it was so not him.

“Ahhh hehe,” Garfield ruefully scratched his nape. “Hey, I dunno, I uh, love theatre. Thought you might want to see a play or something.”

Raven looked at Garfield. She felt Garfield. Garfield was always easy to read—on the surface level, that is. To her, Garfield was wild flowers, beautiful in a porcelain vase on top of a table. Wild, as they might be poisonous as well. She studied him carefully this time: he was nervous, the rate of his heart increasing. But she felt blitheness and warmth spreading in the fields of gardenias and flowering almond. The fact that the small futile happiness of Garfield scared Raven. Probably because his feelings crawled up to her skin and she felt in that moment that she was happy as well. 

“I, uh, I didn’t know that, Beast Boy. That you love theatre.”

He gave her his signature flashing smile. “‘Course! I’m a trash for the performing arts!”

To this she chuckled lightly. “Really now?”

“Hey, if this date turned out well, and you liked it, maybe we could see a musical or a classic reruns of Humphrey Boggart.”

“You watch Humphrey Boggart?”

“I gots class. Vintage,” he winked at her.

She rolled her eyes fondly and smiled. “So what are we seeing?”

“Wuthering Heights. It’s just a local production, but I looked up their blog and there were positive reviews.”

“Wuthering Heights?” Raven shot at him. Garfield’s eyes widened in brief terror as a response to Raven’s reactions. 

“Yeah, why? Is something wrong?”

Raven was not sure if he was pulling on her leg. Raven loved Wuthering Heights. It’s her favorite book. And Gar And Garfield was not supposed to know that. Or was he mocking her? Wuthering Heights screamed gothic what with all the elements of a gothic piece of literature present—the haunting ghost, the moor which never saw a blink of the sun, not to mention, the house with gothic architecture. 

“Beast Boy, what do you think you’re doing? Are you making fun of me?”

“What?” Garfield squinted his eye in confusion as he scratched his head. “What the hell are you talking about, Rae?”

“If this is some kind of joke, just don’t. I know you think I’m creepy, bu—“

“Whoa, whoa. Why the hell are you bringing this up now? And didn’t we settle this before?”

Raven felt Garfield’s emotions piqued up. It shifted quickly like a madman. One moment he was so reluctant and bashful, the next he was excited and pumping, and now he was just straight out frustrated and quite confused. Raven pursed her lips and this time, thought carefully of the words she would let loose.

“Garfield,” she said softly. 

Gar’s shoulders slumped to this. His frustration and annoyance immediately escaping his senses. “Rae? What’s wrong? Something’s wrong, isn’t there?” because Raven had not called Garfield his real name ever until this very moment.

“Garfield,” his name in the movement of her lips was an irony: it was a foreign word but senses screamed at her that no, it was not. “Wuthering Heights is my favorite book.”

“It is? Then that’s sweet, isn’t it? I just don’t see why you’re getting all mad at me. Please let me understand.”

“I mean, I, uh, I love the book for a great many reasons, Gar. Not because it’s, you know,” Raven cleared her throat.

“What?”

“Not because it’s what you call creepy.”

“Oh.”

Okay. Now he understood. After that particular misunderstanding, Gar never told Raven that she was creepy. He admitted that it was a careless remark but it did not incapacitate him from pursuing a deeper friendship with him. “Hey, I know you must know that I’m not the biggest fan of books out there, but I am aware that Wuthering Heights is a gothic tale.”

Raven did not respond. She shifted on her feet awkwardly to Gar’s remarks.

“If you think I’m pulling a joke on you, or making fun of who you are, then you’re wrong.”

Garfield held Raven’s hand in his. At his touch, Raven lowered her head to hide the beet red on her face. 

“I just want you to enjoy the things I find cool. Seriously, Rae. Also, I would never use the things you love against you. Why would I even?”

The only response she gave him was a tight affirmative squeeze at his hand.

On Christmas morning, Raven woke up to a brown package that arrived through mail.

It had been three years since she last celebrated Christmas. For her, Christmas was all about being with loved ones; she had been living alone for three years, and her walls had never been higher and more solid than ever. Just why would she even celebrate the holiday? Sure she did receive postcards and pictures from her friends which overtime turned to just phone calls and sms, but to actually go as far as celebrating it, what’s the use if you’re alone? 

It was a surprise that there was actually a package for her that Christmas. A real Christmas present. 

Raven was a sentimental person. Of course things scarred her. She didn’t detest the holiday. How could she, when it was among the nicest and warmest she had ever felt. To commemorate, the only effort she exerted for the memory of Christmas was when she brew ginger tea. It tasted like the cookies she and her friends baked on Christmas eve—Starfire overdoing her cookies, and Gar liking the remains of the bowl of the cookie dough. 

She went to her counter and poured hot water over her teacup. Carefully she took a small sip. Raven lifted the package and studied it. ‘Huh, who could have given it?’

She unwrapped the present disinterestedly. Maybe it was just her landlady giving out towels or planners or some compulsory gifts demanded by their unwritten contract. 

When Raven opened it however, it was a tattered secondhand copy of her favorite book. 

Wuthering Heights the cover read. Underneath it was the name of the author, Emily Brontë, in a smaller, thinner and less defined font. 

She stood there for a good couple of minutes, her tea had probably ran cold. Her hands shivered as she held the book. Her mouth gaped at it in awe and in panic. It took her another minute before her mind told her to flip through the pages.

When Raven opened the cover of the book, a piece of paper showed itself before her. After reading what was written in the paper tucked in between the cover and the first page, she knew that it was the best Christmas present ever. 

For a long time, it was kindness that made her cry. Not pain, not hurt, not betrayal. But kindness.

Rae,

Merry Christmas. I hope this came in on time. I haven’t seen you for a long time already, but I remember you in a lot of things. I got this copy from a secondhand store. And I know it’s a dumb idea to gift you one since it’s your favorite. Surely you already have a copy of it. I miss you. Take care.

-Gar

an: hello !!!! this is my first bbrae fic i ever post and it is not timely so forgive me. lets be friendsss. also it had been my headcanon that raven's fave book is wuthering heights since i think she has an exquisite taste in classic literature and is a romantic herself. and the song that bb made raven listen to was i will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie. :>

'Ayo!! Hehe, looked through the prompts and "You didn't really think I'd let you spend Christmas alone" + "You are my family now" go so well together. Could I ask for any Dreamcatcher member of your choice with those two? Thank you so much in advance💕

Holiday Prompts

“You didn’t really think I’d let you spend Christmas alone” + “You are my family now”

Idol: Dami (Dreamcatcher)

Admin Kiwi

A/N: Of course, I had to choose Dami, because I truly love her. I hope this makes you feel better hun!

Christmas. The entire month of December led up to it, with the people around you going shopping and getting ready to spend time with their friends and family. But this year, you just couldn’t seem to get into it.

It wasn’t that you disliked Christmas, by any means. It had been fun as a kid, and you enjoyed all the decorations and how happy everyone seemed to get. But you now lived alone, and far from your family, meaning that you would spend Christmas by yourself. This was the second Christmas that you were unable to go home, and although you were happy with your life for the most part, it always made you sad to think about it.

So you tried not to, putting on a smile when your coworkers asked what you’d be doing for Christmas and pretending that you had plans, when in all honesty, you had none.

But you couldn’t pretend with your girlfriend.

“You aren’t going to be able to visit your family this year?” Dami’s eyes were wide as she turned to look at you, but you just let out a short laugh, like it was no big deal. The two of you were sat on your living room couch, the end credits of a movie playing on your TV and an empty popcorn bowl on the coffee table. The only decorations you’d put up this year, pretty lights on the mantle, blinked slowly.

“Yeah, it didn’t work out again. But it’s fine, I spent Christmas by myself last year, so I’ll be fine.” She didn’t look like she was buying it, setting down her mug on the coffee table and crossing her arms.

“You don’t have to spend it alone, you can come with me.”

“No, you’re going to be busy with your group and then your family, and I don’t want to intrude.”

“You’re my partner, (Y/N), it’s not intruding. My parents like you. Plus, this is our first Christmas together, you shouldn’t spend it alone.” You smiled at her words and reached out to pull her arms out of their crossed position in order to hold her hand.

“That’s really sweet, Dami. And I love you. But you have things to do. We can spend Christmas Eve together instead, since you said you’re free that day.”

“That’s not the same.” Her eyes fell and she squeezed your hand, scooting closer to you on the couch to lean her head on your shoulder. “I don’t want you to be lonely.”

“I won’t be, I promise. I’m an adult, Dami.”

“I know. But adults are allowed to be lonely on Christmas.” She was really so sweet, and it made your heart warm. But you also couldn’t be selfish with this.

“I’ll be okay. Let’s celebrate Christmas Eve, okay?” She pressed her lips together for a moment before giving in, letting out a little sigh.

“Okay. If you say so.’

-

You’d thought you’d be okay, you really did. But Christmas morning rolled around, and you woke up to silence and an overwhelming feeling of loneliness. You’d spent the day before with Dami, and the two of you had even exchanged presents. Her gift for you even sat on your bedside table, and you turned to look at it, shaking your head at yourself.

“Get it together, (Y/N). What’s wrong with you?”

You had texts from your family and friends, wishing you Merry Christmas and telling you they missed you, and somehow that made you feel even worse. Sighing, you got up and replied to all of them in the best way you could, trying not to sound upset that you were alone. You’d done this to yourself, so you couldn’t complain. You just had to bear it.

You decided that a hot shower would make you feel better, and it did, a little bit. Then, dressed in your comfiest clothes, you made your way into the living room. You’d get some coffee and snacks and then watch some of your favorite movies and try not to think about how much you’d rather be with your friends and family.

Or with Dami. You were internally kicking yourself for turning down her offer, but that would have been selfish of you and you didn’t want that. So you’d just deal with this and then get on with things like nothing had ever happened. Maybe next Christmas would be different.

You had just finished making coffee when there was a knock at the door. Confused, you glanced over at the clock. It was still rather early in the morning, and who would come by on Christmas day? Had you ordered a package or something?

Setting the mug you’d been about to use down, you made your way over to the front door and carefully opened it. Outside stood Dami, and behind her, the rest of her band members. She gave you a sheepish smile when your mouth dropped open and tilted her head slightly.

“You didn’t really think I’d let you spend Christmas alone, did you?” You let out a little laugh and stepped to the side to allow them in, still a little shocked by it all.

“I- But aren’t you busy?” She shook her head and reached out to take your hands, swinging them gently.

“Nope. Everything worked out fine, and I brought everyone over. Also, we’ve got food and drinks.”

“It’s your favorite,” Jiu said over her shoulder, sending you a little wink as she made her way over to the table.

“I hope you don’t mind us intruding,” Handong added, giving you a polite smile.

“No, uh, it’s okay. Thank you, actually.” They all smiled at you, and Sua gestured towards the fridge.

“Awesome! I’m going to get the drinks ready, do you mind if I use the kitchen?”

“Not at all, go ahead.” She grinned and headed that way, and the rest of the girls followed her, with Siyeon playing light Christmas music on her cellphone. Suddenly, the apartment that had been so silent and dead was alive with sound, and you couldn’t help but stare in awe.

“Were you feeling lonely?” Your girlfriend’s voice was soft, and you turned to look at her, feeling all too emotional.

“I was. Sorry for lying to you.” She smiled softly and dropped your hands to wrap her arms loosely around you.

“Don’t apologize. I know that you were just trying to look out for me, but I wanted to spend Christmas with you. And I care about what you’re feeling.” The tears were about to spill over, and she reached up to caress your cheek.

“But why go through all this trouble for me? Even your group came.”

“Because you’re family now. And family doesn’t let family be alone on Christmas.” You laughed softly to keep yourself from crying and buried your face in her neck.

“I love you so much.” You sniffled slightly and pulled away, wiping at your eyes, and she leaned in to give you a quick kiss.

“I love you too,” she said when she pulled away, eyes twinkling like the Christmas lights behind her. “Now, what do you say we have ourselves a merry little Christmas here, and then you come to Christmas dinner with me tonight?” Your heart felt warm and light, and a smile stretched across your face, totally out of your control. The apartment was alive, and you weren’t alone anymore. Instead, you were the luckiest person in the world.

[sserpente]

A/N: Request from @harknesskitty. Writing this Imagine was some kind of déjà-vu and I just don’t know why… :o well, enjoy reading, everyone! ♥

Words: 1870 Warnings: vampire!Reader, theft, implied smut

It was ridiculous, really. A blood-sucking vampire freezing to death out in the cold, curled up behind a dirty trash can to hide from the merciless snow. Without nutrition—be it a squirrel or even a rat—you were sure you would be dying tonight.

There were crueler ways to snuff it, though. A wooden stick through your heart, a raging fire licking at your skin or a sharp blade separating your head from your neck… if this was the peaceful alternative, you would be grateful.

Ironically, it was Christmas Eve too. The trash cans you were hiding behind belonged to an old church and if you listened closely, you could hear a choir singing Christmas carols. Surely inside, it was warmer. Inside, they’d have hot tea and warmed each other. You hadn’t stepped foot in a church for decades.

Obviously, you didn’t fear to go up in smoke if you did but somehow, it didn’t feel right to pray and ask for forgiveness and a blessing. You killed people to ensure your own survival, if this wasn’t selfish, you didn’t know what was.

So, you had isolated yourself from society, living as a poor and homeless nomad and never staying in one place for too long. It was a bad idea to get attached to humans—people you’d either suck dry in a rage or a fit sooner or later or that you’d watch die from old age while you remained the same.

Grief and loneliness were among the most awful feelings as an immortal being, knowing it would never truly stop and still, centuries ago, you had chosen this fate over certain death. It had to be worth something and maybe tonight was the night to finally say goodbye to the planet.

The sound of metal clattering to the frozen ground had you flinch, your senses wide awake with a start. If it was moving, it was food.

Gathering the last of your strength, you used your supernatural speed to rush to the place the sound had come from. A back alley abutting to the local bank stretched before you, causing you to roll your eyes. Another clumsy and ruthless burglar. Those were your favourite. Well, at least you’d do the world some good on this merry day.

“Bloody shit,” he hissed quietly, cowering in the snow to collect the coins he had dropped. You shivered, crossing your arms and stepping forward. It was a man. Broad shoulders, dressed oddly, a battered coat covering most of his form. Hm… he was quite handsome for a criminal.

“Robbing the bank, are we?”

“Who are yah? A cop?” Alarmed, the stranger reached for a knife, pointing it at you… no, not a knife… a… a boomerang? You almost giggled upon seeing the strange weapon, causing him to fling the metal piece right at you. You instantly docked down to prevent the blade from slicing off your head and then, when you sensed it returning to him, you used your powers to do a backflip and dodge once more.

“That wasn’t very nice.” You loved playing with your prey. Letting them believe they had power, only to mercilessly strip it from them in the end, crushing their hope like sand under your soles. “And no. I’m not a cop. Still, I’ll be the last thing you’ll see tonight. Or… ever.”

You didn’t hide your malicious giggle this time, however, stopped dead in your tracks when the stranger took another step forward and dived into the dim light of the back alley. He really was handsome. Dark hair, a dark beard, blue eyes and full lips… the urge to bite them and draw a little blood was tingling in your frozen limbs, persistent even.

“I’m not in the mood fah games, Sheila. An’ I don’t share me prey. So fuck off unless yuh’re here tah offer me a free blowjob.”

“Pretty rude, are we? Neither am I. See, I am what humans refer to as a vampire. A blood-sucking monster… killing you slowly and painfully.” you paused, adding a dramatic effect. They usually didn’t believe you until your eyes turned red and your sharp fangs pushed against your lower lip demandingly, uncontrollable hunger taking over. “You seem like the perfect victim, wouldn’t you agree with me?”

The stranger silenced, pursing his lips. “Me? Why, cos’ I robbed a bloody bank?”

“On Christmas Eve,” you added dryly. “Boo, that’s evil.”

“I’m evil? Yah just told me yah were gonnah drink me up like some cheap beer.”

You tilted your head once more. He was good. HeHe was good. “Yeah okay, I give you that.”

“C’mon, luv, there’s worse people out there.”

It was then you realised. “Wait, you actually believe me?” The question had left your lips before you could properly think it through. You were supposed to be intimidating, not curious and sweet like a little school girl. Damn it.

“I’ve seen a lottah supernatural stuff in the last couple o’ months, luv, a vampire ain’t as scary as yah might think.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I’m hungry.” You threatened with a low voice, sensing how your eyes changed their colour.

“Let’s… not do anythin’ we’ll regret. We could help each other out.” He offered, smiling cheekily as he did.

Curious, you raised an eyebrow. Help each other? If it didn’t involve his blood, you doubted it and yet, something inside you had you halt and consider him. An instinct, perhaps?

“Me apartment fah the night ain’t that far away. It’s warm, it’s cosy… yah’ll like it. Come with me an’ spend the night. We could warm each othah.” He winked.

A warm apartment… a bed… maybe he even stored some raw meat in the fridge. Could you trust him? Granted, he didn’t want to be eaten—you had heard people say the strangest things before they died in your arms from savage blood loss.

Still, you decided to play it cool. “Wow, what’s that, some touching Christmas charity?”

“I bloody hate Christmas.”

You smiled. “Me too,”

Well, maybe his offer wasn’t so bad.

“See?” His grin widened.

He was… different from the other criminals you had sucked dry. This man, he was… charming and mischievous, almost playful. You hated to admit it but you liked his cheeky attitude… and especially his Australian accent.

“Okay, so, I come home with you and in return, what? I don’t eat you?”

“I’d be happy if yah didn’t, luv.” He replied.

“Fine. We have a deal.”

“Yuh’re gonnah tell me yah name?”

Another smile, this time a little more sincere. “Call me (Y/N).”

“Nice tah meet yah, (Y/N). The name’s Captain Boomerang.”

“Wait, so you really are the Captain Boomerang who fought alongside Harley Quinn and those other freaks in Gotham?”

Boomer hadn’t promised you too much. His apartment was heated and comfortable, the fridge full of barbecue meat and beer. He was a stereotypical Aussie and it only intrigued you all the more. After a couple of cans, you’d both stripped yourselves from any restraint. You had told him about your former life, the people you had killed and the life you lived now. And he listened. Unlike any other man you had ever met, he actually listened to what you had to say—it’s been so long since you had someone to talk and someone to confide in. It was obvious to you he knew what it felt like to be alone, too… most likely the reason for his openness and the longer he told you stories about his own adventures, the more you forced yourself to hold back and not get attached.

You would leave him again tomorrow. There was no need to develop feelings for this man, no friendly and definitely no romantic ones.

“The one an’ only, luv. Took me quite a while tah get away from Waller but here I am.”

“Here you are, saving Christmas Eve.” Giggling, you cuddled into him, almost lying on top of him on the dusty mattress on the ground. It was a provisory shelter, the people who had lived here had moved out only weeks ago and left the mattress back. Now, it came in handy.

Sighing, your buried your face in his neck and enjoyed the sensation of his warm skin against your cheek, for once not to kill but to revel in the oddly snug feeling spreading in your whole body and warming you from the inside out. You hadn’t been this content in years. You had… almost forgotten what it felt like to share comfort, especially when he had wrapped his muscly arms around you to touch your bare arms. He was like a heater himself, listening to his even heartbeat relaxing and calming.

“Reckon we did each othah a favour, huh?” Boomerang chuckled darkly. His chest vibrated under your palm when he did, sending a pleasant shiver up and down your spine. It was short moments like this in which the urge to bite returned. Not to kill or simply still your hunger but to share an intimate gesture, create something that would connect you both forever.

“Where’re yah gonnah go then? Tomorrow, I mean.”

Breathing out audibly, you shrugged. You hadn’t thought about that yet. “I don’t know. I’ve always wanted to see California. Besides, it’s warm there.”

“Yah take the money with yah when yah leave, alright?”

Tilting his head to the rucksack full of coins and banknotes in the corner opposite the dimly lit room, his expression turned thoughtful.

Your heart skipped a beat. Lifting your head slowly to look him in the eye, you opened your mouth in an almost shocked manner. This wasn’t what criminals normally acted at all. This man… “Why would I do that?”

“’Cos yah need it more than me, apparently. I’ll rob anothah bank tomorrow an’ I’ll be rich. Go have it. Say it’s a Christmas present.”

“And all of that so I don’t bite you?” You teased, pressing yourself even closer to his body. Don’t get attached, don’t get attached… your mantra was useless. You already were getting attached.

Boomer grinned. “I’m startin’ tah think that wouldn’t be so bad, after all.” Something inside you stirred when you straddled him, your eyes changing their colour in joyful anticipation. “As long as yah don’t kill me,” He winked when you bit your lower lip, running your fingers all over his body.

Why leave tomorrow? Why not stay with him for a while? The chemistry between you was tangible, buzzing like electrical energy.

“So I reckon what I’m sayin’ is, if yah take yah clothes off, feel free tah taste.” The glistening in his blue eyes resembled raw lust and desire, adding to your own arousal and fuelling your own hunger.

You grinned to yourself when you pulled your shirt off, revealing your breasts to him.

“I can live with that.” And then, you gently pressed your lips against his, kissing him in joyful anticipation of what was to come.

“I’ve never shagged a vampire.” He growled hoarsely, burying his hands in your dirty jeans.

You would definitely stay for a while longer.

“You’ll never forget the experience.” You promised.

Maybe getting attached wasn’t so bad after all. At least for this very moment.

Merry Christmas Angels! 🎄💕

I wish all of you a peaceful and happy Christmas with your family and beloved ones and that you get to stuff your stomach with the most delicious Christmas roasts, cookies, gingerbreads and of course mulled wine hehe! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

I hope everyone will have a wonderful Christmas filled with a lot of joy and happiness and nice presents, after all all of you’ve been very good this year, right? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Hopefully none of you will have to work all night long on Christmas Eve just like me, but at least I get to see my sweet little brother’s smile on Christmas Day again because we will be watching my all time favourite Christmas movie “A Nightmare before Christmas” oh I just love this movie!

Of course I haven’t forgotten about you, so as a little Christmas present from me, here are some Christmas headcanons on how Christmas would be celebrated in my citadel.. oh and trust me, there will be a lot of tears and chaos involved, because what’s a real Christmas without some chaotic mess right? ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)

To end this on a sweet note: Merry Christmas to all of you angels out there and a Happy New Year, I love all of you and hope you have a jolly Christmas! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*

This got quite lengthy again so under the cut as not to blow up your dashboard..

A long time ago in a certain citadel far, far away (my nerdy self couldn’t stop herself from including this smol Star Wars reference forgive me) certain Sword Warriors were preparing for the most important holiday ..

being your attendants for the day Tomoegata and Hasebe forced you to stay in your room while everyone else was buzzing around the citadel to prepare for the evening

‘Aruji, please leave the preparations for this festive event to the other Touken Danshi. Your only task for today is to relax until tonight.’

even though you were more than thankful for this offer you couldn’t help but worry a little knowing them all too well 

…

… and rightly so because getting to celebrate a peaceful Merry Christmas in your Citadel? Dream on it’s more like a Merry Crisis

when the evening broke on they finally allowed you to leave your room and led you down the dining hall where a festival of dazzling lights and a Christmas Banner spelling something like ‘Marri Kurismas’ was awaiting you

your heart nearly lept out of your chest when everyone rushed forward and scream-yelled ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS ARUJI!’ at you

‘You did all of this for me? Oh my –thank you so much - everyone– I – just - Merry Christmas to you as well!’

you were nearly crying of joy when you realized just how much effort everyone must have put in decorating the Citadel for you

‘How much trouble did all of you went through to prepare this for me?’

Swelling with pride Hasebe grandiloquently waved your worries away ‘It really wasn’t that much trouble’ 

cue angry stares from everyone else and a more than grumpy Oodenta whispering ‘Yeah well not for you Mr. Loudmouth’ under his breath

now let’s rewind to the morning of Christmas Eve and what was happening while you were cooped up in your room wrapping your Christmas presents for everyone

…

…

let’s go back to the first crime scene: The Kitchen

it was quite obvious but calling the kitchen a chaotic mess was way understated

chocolate frosting and powder sugar was splattered everywhere but on the cookies (meaning on everyone’s faces)

Souza and Kousetsu were tasked with baking and cutting out cookies and Sayo decorates the most delicate and beautiful snowflake, flower and tanuki cookies fight me on this

Azuki was smitten with this tradition from the start, because now he could give everyone sweets and mother them to his hearts content and went into full sweets-making-mode while Kenshin was eagerly buzzing around him

being the Citadel’s own Grinch Ookurikara tried to escape just on the mentioning of another celebration but got hold back by a dangerously smiling Shokudaikiri who was holding a dough roll like a battle axe 

‘Kara-chan of course you’ll help too, will you?’ 😇 😇 😇

Translation: ‘Get in the fuck*ng Christmas spirit or I’ll cut you down’ 

Micchan vs. Kara-chan 1:0

cursing under his breath he and Yamanbagiri were tasked with hanging up the fairy lights 

which brings us to the second crime scene: The Dining Hall

poor men just wanted to be left alone but instead had to help hanging up chain of lights and garlands while some drunk on eggnog Fudou, Nihongou and Jiroutachi were singing some very disturbing Christmas canons they had composed themselves

cue Yamanbagiri muttering to himself: ‘Maybe I should hang myself instead of these Christmas lights’

bby no 

‘Even though I’m somewhat renowned as a sword who can cut through ghosts I’d rather not have to cut down your vengeful spirit on this festive occasion’ Nikkari was laughing cheerfully at him while reading ‘A Christmas Carol’ to Akita and Kenshin

way to get in the Christmas spirit darling

bigger swords like Tonbokiri, Oodenta, Otegine and Hachisuka were tasked with logging a fine Christmas tree and mistletoes in the woods (’Really? You’re making an original Kousetsu like me do something unspiritual like that?’)

If you’re asking what Jiji was doing then I can tell you that this lazy old man was sitting far away from the hustle and bustle and got himself pampered and entertained by Kogitsunemaru and Shishou

man just because you’re old doesn’t mean you can just ditch work to everyone else

i’m just kidding i love them very much and it’s probably good that Jiji wasn’t helping he’d probably just be in the way anyway lol

as usual Gokotais tiger cubs had escaped again and were leaving flour footprints everywhere, cue Ishikirimaru running like a madman to clean up behind them while poor Gokotai was bawling his eyes out again

they even left some on Kuniyuki’s face when they trampled over him but that lazy bastard was so busy sleeping he didn’t even mind that (how can anyone be so lazy, honestly? i am so in love)

meanwhile Kasen was in his room trying to write an elegant and refined Christmas banner but just couldn’t remember what this festivity was called like

‘Marri Kurismas. Yes yes, that’s what it was called like I’m sure of it!’ (almost honey, almost..)

after the Christmas tree had been installed in the dining hall (it only took 15 attempts to even get it inside and that one time where Kane-san and Mutsu nearly got buried under the tree because they were bickering who was stronger again) the Toushirous, Monoyoshi, Hyuuga, Aizen and Hotarumaru were decorating the tree with self-made ornaments out of little gems, shells, pie cones and candles

Ichigo and Yagen carrying every Tantou on their skinny shoulders through the whole citadel so they could hang up ornaments everywhere, can we agree on that?

they’re the best brothers in the world i’m sobbing why are they so perfect? 

in the meantime busy bees Horikawa and Urashima were running around and motivating everyone by serving Hot Chocolate whenever someone seemed tired out (these boys are angels guys, angels)

Namazuo and Honebami doing a leg-up so Honebami can be the one to put the star on the Christmas tree.. yeah that’s the kind of imagines I’m living for

sounds wonderful doesn’t it?

well it nearly ended in bloodshed when Tsurumaru and Taikogane who were throwing snowballs at each other nearly knocked down the Christmas tree the children had lovingly decorated

which leads us to crime scene number three: The Garden

unlike Germany for the last 10 years your Citadel had been blessed with a white Christmas and the Garden and roofs were covered up with a beautifully glistening blanket of snow

and what could be better than having a real snow fight and go sledding right?

since Tsurumaru got banned from helping he immediately had the glorious idea of having a snowball war in the garden

Tsurumaru, Sada-chan, Aizen, Hotarumaru, Koryuu were on one side while Kashuu, Yams, Yamabushi, Iwatooshi and Imanotsurugi were on the other team

and there were only some minor casualties like the snowball that flew right into Hasebe’s face when he was screaming out of your window

…

whoopsie  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

run guys.. run as fast as you can, leave the country, get yourself a new identity but RUN 

.. yeah no big trouble at all ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)

back to Christmas Eve and handing out of presents

You had knitted everyone something warm like gloves and scarfs and little beanies for the Tantous so they wouldn’t get a cold when they have to battle in winter, and even stitched everyone’s crests on their scarfs

let’s skip the tearful and cheesy speeches of thanks everyone was throwing alright?

well but one moment was worth mentioning, and that is Hizamaru crying over Higekiri giving him a present even though he wrote his name wrong on the gift tag cue Iwatooshi patting both of them on their back ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)

at least he tried

of course Micchan surpassed himself by light years and made you the most beautiful yule log you’ve ever seen 

(my self indulgence is showing I’m sorry angels)

“You told me this was the season of giving your loved ones gifts right? So I hope you’re going to enjoy this I tried to make it based on your desciptions but it may not be sweet enough .. though nothing could be as sweet as you anyway.’

geez save the cheesy lines for someone else

I’M JUST KIDDING MARRY ME MARRY ME MARRY ME

maybe Touken Danshi aren’t the best at celebrating Christmas but they always have good intentions and it became a happy Christmas with a lot of laughter (and eggnog) because being with your loved ones is the most important thing on Christmas after all

..but wait, who’s going the wash the dishes ok i’m outta here ~

I hope you enjoyed it and Merry Christmas angels! (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡
