Frozen Hearts?
Daryl Dixon x fem!Reader
Request: "Hi um..this is my first time asking and I don't know if your taking requests but I was wondering if you could do a Daryl and the reader get into a heated argument about how the reader went missing for a couple of days while on a run and Daryl goes after them but can't find them so he thinks that the same thing happened to them like the same thing happened to Sophia (if that makes any sense?) And after a couple days after Daryl lits a building on fire for some reason? And reader comes stumbling out of the building and Daryl sees that and the listener is just trying to get away from the fire and Daryl just grabs them and drags them away. Then he throws them on the ground and starts to yell at them and the listener starts to yell back and you could choose the rest :D Thank you!! ^^" - Requested by a nonny! 😄
Summary: You get lost on a run, due to a herd of walkers overrunning the small town you and your group went to. Daryl spends days outside, searching for you. When he does find you, it comes to a heated argument…
Warnings: the usual TWD stuff - walkers, fire, injuries, angst, fluff
Set in Season 9!
Word Count: 2,9k
a/n: Ahhhh, I love thiiis! Hope you like it as well, nonny! 🥰 Thanks for requesting! 😁

MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
The wind howled around the houses of Alexandria. It was going to be a few hard months, everyone could tell. There wasn't much time left before the start of the winter. About one or two weeks - according to Eugene. So, the goal was to get as much supplies as somehow possible, in order to get everyone through those cold months ahead. Everybody helped as best as possible - including you. Together with a few other citizens from Alexandria, you went on a run to gather some more medical stuff. There was a small town - about a day ride away from the community. Daryl had found it on a hunt a few weeks ago. The town was in the forest, rather hidden, so you hoped it was most widely untouched.
Leading a group of three people, you made your way to the said town in the planned time slot. It took you almost exactly 24 hours. Together, you had searched for a safe place to stay the night. Everything went smoothly. Even the break in of the abandoned doctor's office. But once you all had made it out alive and well, everything went south on a sudden. Seemingly out of nowhere, a big herd of walkers - probably about 30 or 40 literally overran the town. There were too many of them and too less of you to fight them off, and in between all the panic and trouble, you got separated from the group...
Daryl didn't come often to Alexandria these days. He spent the most time out in the woods, still searching for Rick and trying to somehow get over his grief. It wasn't that easy, though. Alexandria just reminded him even more of his lost brother, so he didn't turn up a lot. But when he paid the community a visit, then because of one reason... You. You two knew each other since the prison and grew incredibly close over the time and all the shitty, horrible things you experienced together with your family.
This time he walked through the steel gates of Alexandria, it was the same reason as always... You.
The archer greeted everyone he saw on his way, until he reached your small, cosy house. Just as he wanted to knock at the door, his actions got interrupted by a voice behind him. "She isn't here, Daryl." Michonne. Word had spread fast, that the archer was back in the community. He spun around to face his friend. "What ya mean, she ain't here?" Michonne took a deep breath and stepped closer, pulling the winter coat she wore ever tighter. It was freezing. "Y/N went out on a run three days ago. Things went south. A large herd of walkers overran the small town you found and-" Daryl felt how his heart beat increased, pumping more blood through his veins. "She dead?" He asked dryly, tears already starting to build up in his eyes. Daryl lost his brother... He couldn't lose you, too. But to his sheer relief, shook Michonne her head. "No... Just missing. We hope she isn't dead, but... We don't know. Two people of her group came back and told us." "Did you search for 'er?" The leader of Alexandria squeezed her eyes shut and began to slowly shake her head. "We wanted, but like you see, it already started to snow. Eugene's weather forecast wasn't exactly correct. A snow storm is coming - and we both know it'd be too dangerous to go out there now. I'm sorry." Daryl clenched his teeth, felt how anger started to flood his system. Snow storm or not. It was no excuse to just leave you out there alone with dozens of walkers and other threats. "For you." Daryl simply said, before he rushed past Michonne. "Daryl! You can't go out there now! Especially not alone!" He adjusted his poncho and tapped the side of his right thigh to let Dog know he should follow him - which the dog immediately did out course. "You can't stop me! I ain't sittin' here around 'n lettin' Y/N out there alone, jus' because of a little bit snow." Michonne tried to argue with the archer, but it was no use of course. Daryl didn't listen to another word his friend said, slung his crossbow back over his shoulder and marched straight for the gates. "Come on, Dog." Dog barked at the call of his name and quickly followed his master. Michonne followed the pair as well, still trying to stop her friend. "Daryl!" He didn't listen, of course. Once Daryl Dixon was determined to do something, there was no stopping him. Before the leader of Alexandria was able to catch up with the archer, the heavy metal doors got already closed shut behind him.
Daryl searched for you. Day after day after day. His first destination had been of course the small town you went to on the run. There had been still quite a few walkers - some of them on the verge of freezing to the ground. Daryl quickly got rid of them and searched together with Dog every nook and cranny of the town. "Y/N?!" The small school. Empty. "Y/N?!" The doctor's office. Empty. "Y/N?!" The supermarket. Empty. He searched everywhere, even at the gas station, but he found nothing besides a few other walkers. Usually, the archer had no problem in finding people. He was a tracker, it was his forte, but the horrible weather conditions and the constant snow fall made the situation worse. Together with the constant wind, erasing all traces, it was almost impossible. But Daryl wouldn't be Daryl, if he gave up just yet, so he continued to look for you for another few days, scoured the area around the town for you - but it was no use. He just couldn't find you. It bothered Daryl. More than he was ready to admit. The fact that you were still missing unlocked something deep inside him. Not just fear, no... Awful flashbacks from the beginning. The dreadful day little Sophia went missing. How he and the others - but especially he searched for days - almost weeks, but couldn't find her. He couldn't find the girl. Daryl failed. And because of that, they lost Sophia. The archer would never forget the moment she walked out of that damn barn, hissing and snarling - turned into a walker. He would never forget how Carol broke down, crying. Or how Rick shot her in the head in front of everybody. What if history was repeating itself? What if that was exactly what happened to you as well? Gods, he could never forgive himself if that was the case. Daryl just had to find you.
Another day passed. Over a week and you were still missing. The only good thing was, that the harsh snow storm had stopped. Now it was just bitterly cold outside. Daryl's plan of searching led him even further away from Alexandria.
He and Dog had everything under control, scoured profoundly the area - until the archer found himself in a very unpleasant situation... A large herd of walkers surprised him, caused him and Dog to run for their lives. The archer didn't know how this could happen. They just came out of nowhere. While he tried to get away from the hungry, snarling threat behind him, he tried to think of a plan to get rid of them. Fate seemed to be good to him for once. A small, wooden hut came in sight, as he quickly walked - running was for a longer period not possible, due to the snow. Panting, he searched in his pockets for matchsticks. This could work, he thought. No... It had to work. Fighting them was no option. Taking on twenty plus walkers alone could be difficult. And he couldn't run away forever as well. It would drain his energy - and he hadn't exactly that much left anyways. Setting this hut on fire was probably his only chance. Daryl just hoped, that the wood wasn't too wet from the snow. He had to try it, hadn't he? So, he marched as fast as possible up to the hut.
 After a few desperate tries of getting the old wood to burn and the threatening snarling coming closer and closer, he finally made it. The wood caught fire. Daryl rounded the small hut to bring himself and Dog into safety, watching the fire spreading quickly. Soon, it would go up in flames. Daryl was relieved that his plan worked out - until he saw the back door of the hut bursting open. Someone stumbled out of the hut, coughing. The archer narrowed his eyes, only to recognise that it was... His eyes immediately widened again. You... It was you! Daryl literally jumped up from his hiding spot, "Stay, Dog." and ran over to you. "Y/N!"
You were still coughing heavily as you tried to get away from the fire. You tried to run, but it was impossible, like the searing pain in your leg reminded you immediately. A painful hiss escaped your lips. You looked down, examined the gaping wound on your thigh again. It was bleeding - again. You somehow made it to slice open your thigh as you tried to escape from the walkers, back in that small town. "Y/N!" You lifted immediately your head at the call of your name - and saw a figure running towards you. You couldn't believe your eyes. Was this...? Could it be? "Daryl?!" You cried out, hissing in pain again. He reached you a few moments later, holding onto your shoulders. "Y/N?! Are ya alright?" You nodded with tears in your eyes. Gods, you were so happy to see him. "Y-Yeah, just... Hurt my leg..." Daryl quickly gazed down to take a look at the wound, but got distracted by the herd of walkers getting closer and closer, reminding him of the threat, which was on its way to the burning hut. "C'mon. We gotta get away from 'ere." The archer wrapped your arm around his shoulder and his arm around your waist to steady you and help you walk.
Of course, was Daryl happy that he had found you, but the bottled up feelings and fears of losing you just like he lost Sophia, caused his blood to boil. It was only a matter of time, until he was going to burst - something you couldn't know. Once he had brought you into safety, he let go of you - literally pushing you away from him, his feelings taking over and resulting in you, stumbling backwards and falling to the snowy ground, because of your injured leg. "Daryl, what-" You wanted to ask, but he didn't let you. "Goddamnit, Y/N! What were ya thinkin'?!" He yelled. You looked up at him confused. What was that now about? You questioned yourself. Why was he suddenly yelling? The sudden off behaviour of your friend turned your mood sour as well. "What the hell, Daryl? Why are you yelling at me? What's your problem?" Daryl scoffed. "What my problem is?!" He looked around, as if trying to somehow compose himself - without success. "You are my problem, woman! Why did ya go on that damn run, alone?!" Now it was your time to scoff. "I wasn't alone! I had a team!" "Ya call those three Savior pricks a team? For god's sake, Y/N... That ain't a team! They left ya alone out there, saved their own asses and went back to Alexandria! Why didn't you take Aaron with ya? Or Rosita? Or me?" You swallowed hard at his words. Did they really do that? Did they really give up on you? "Ya could've died! Bit or eaten by a walker - or worse! What if the Whisperers would've found ya?! Ya could've been killed!" "Right, Dixon! Could have! But I didn't!" You stood up from the cold ground. Your leg protested against this, but you didn't care, ignored the pain and just clenched your jaw. "I can look after myself!" You turned on your heels, ready to walk away. "I don't need a watchdog - and I certainly don't need you!" Ouch. Those words cut deep. It was an invisible punch to the gut. Daryl was like petrified for a moment, as he watched you hobble away, further into the woods. He didn't know, that you regretted the thing you said immediately, but you were too angry to take it back. The archer swallowed hard, now angry at himself for letting his bottled-up feelings take over. Did you really mean that? You didn't need him? This heated argument made Daryl realise two things. One: He cared about you - a lot. And two: No matter if you didn't need him. He needed you.
Afraid, that he might have lost you for real now, he quickly ran after you, with Dog close behind. "Y/N! Y/N! Wait!" You heard him calling for you, but didn't even think about stopping. "Please!" But Daryl was quicker on foot than you were and not injured, so he quickly caught up on you. "Y/N, please! 'M sorry!" He gently grabbed your arm to turn you around. "Oh now you're sorry?!" You yelled at him. "You almost killed me by burning this damn hut down and then you just yelled at me without a reason and now you're sorry?!" Daryl hung his head, long, brown strands of his curls falling into his face. "'M sorry..." He repeated, causing you to just scoff, before you turned around and began to walk away once again. That was the moment Daryl realised, that it was probably time to open up to you. To let the true feelings speak. Not his anger.
"I-I jus' yelled at ya, 'cause..." He sighed. "'Cause I was worried sick. Was almost shittin' myself when Michonne told me that ya didn't come back from the run... That the others lost ya... I went out, searchin' for ya, day after day. I was so afraid of losin' ya... So afraid of failin' to find ya - jus' like I failed finding Sophia." You stopped abruptly in your tracks at his words and felt your heart aching at his words. "I yelled at ya, 'cause I care 'bout ya, Y/N... A lot... I couldn't stand losin' ya. I-I need ya. Dunno what to do with myself if ya would be dead." You expected a lot for him to say - but certainly not that. His words literally left you breathless, as he opened up his heart for you.
Without hesitation, you turned to face him, smiling softly. "Daryl Dixon..." You started, shaking your head. "You never fail to surprise me." Daryl looked at you, stunned. "I jus' poured out ma heart to ya - and you... smile?" "Uh, um, yes, because now I know that the feeling is mutual." He furrowed his brows. "M-Mutual?" You nodded, stepping closer to him, until you could place your hands on his grey poncho clad chest. All the anger suddenly vanished; thrown out of the window. Daryl flinched a bit at your sudden touch, didn't see it coming. "I care about you, too, Daryl. So much that it often keeps me awake at night, when you are out there alone to search for Rick or hunt. I liked you from the very beginning. From the day you and the others saved us from Woodbury and brought us to the prison." You smiled even wider, rubbed your hands affectionately over his chest. "Okay, admittedly, I was a bit scared of you at first, 'cause you were quite a bit intimidating, but... I-I guess with time turned intimidation into admiration. Admiration turned into affection. Affection turned into a crush, and well... The crush turned into love. W-What I'm tryin' to say is... I-I think I l-love you." Daryl blinked, still visibly stunned. He needed a moment to catch up. But once, the words had fully sunk in, a warm feeling started to spread throughout the archer's body. A feeling, he never felt that strong in his life before, but he always knew was there – since the prison. Love. It couldn't be something different. Slightly awkwardly, he lifted his hands to place them on your hips, pulling you gently closer. "Love ya, too." The words he never used in his life before, slipped so easily over his lips all of a sudden.
You were beaming now. Your face almost started to hurt from all the smiling. Quickly, you pressed a short, soft kiss on Daryl's lips, taking him by surprise once again. He looked at you shocked at first, but then started to smile, blushing. "Can we go home now, please?" You asked after staring into his beautiful blue eyes for a long moment. "I'm freezing my ass off and this-" You pointed to your thigh. "Really hurts." Daryl nodded quickly, "'Course." and quickly moved to pick you up bridal style. A soft squeak left your lips, followed by a giggle. "Daryl! What are you doing?" "What does it look like?" You shook your head, still giggling, but clasped your hands around his neck. "You can't carry me all the way." Daryl started to walk, whistling for Dog to follow him. "I can and I will. Gotta take care of ma woman." My woman... You liked the sound of that.

Beth’s Memory Loss Arc, Part 1
Okay, gonna take a crack at this. I started thinking about this because I have an Ask in my inbox about what we think will happen with all the memory loss stuff. (I was totally going to post it at the beginning of this theory, but I somehow accidentally deleted it. Sorry Nonny. But this is me answering it in long form. ;D)
Meanwhile, my fellow theorists and I had talked the idea of Beth having memory loss recently. I started just going through it in my head—how to lay it out, etc.—and it started sparking other thoughts.
Okay, so I started thinking about all the “remember” or “memory” stuff around Beth. We have a lot of indications, mostly through dialogue, of there being a memory arc for Beth. There’s the “I forgot about you” from Inmates, 
Tumblr media
them asking if she remembered her name at Grady, etc. 
Tumblr media
But the one I sort of homed in on was one someone mentioned a few days ago from the fight in Still. In talking (yelling) to Daryl about Sophia, she said, “I remember.” I kept thinking about that, going back to it, etc. Something about it was bugging me, but I didn’t immediately know what.
Tumblr media
So instead, I first focused on what my fellow theorists and I talked about from the 10x21 template. Remember that in that episode, Carol chases a rat around the kitchen. We have a theory that Carol chasing rat = Carol “chasing” Beth and memory loss might play into that.
Tumblr media
I’ve said a lot of this before, I think Daryl will probably hear something of Rick and come to believe he’s alive, but no one else will hear it. He’ll announce that he’s going to find Rick and Carol will go with him. Not because she believes Rick is alive, but because much like the beginning of FM, she’s worried about his mental state and him losing his reality again. (This will especially be true if by then, Leah has been shown to be a hallucination, or that Daryl is remembering his interactions with her incorrectly.)
So, Daryl and Carol hop on the bike and they go. At some point, Carol will want to leave. I haven’t worked out exactly why, yet. Originally, I thought maybe it would that Zeke will have had his fake out and she’ll find out he’s alive, but based on the ep 21 template, I actually don’t think she’ll know that, yet. She and Jerry talk about wishing Zeke were there with them, so I think at this point, she’ll still think Zeke has died.
Tumblr media
Whatever the reason, she’ll want to go to some other place, but she’ll want Daryl to come with her. I think it will be a lot like their final meeting in FM with her begging him to come “back” with her and him saying, “nope. Look, you aren’t going to lose me. I just got stuff to do.” In this case, it’ll be “nope. I’m looking for Rick. Later, Carol.”
And they’ll separate, which is what Divergent was all about and a major foreshadow of.
So then, wherever Carol goes, she’ll run into Beth (Rat). We think that maybe the reason for Carol chasing Rat around is because she’ll be chasing Beth around, because Beth has no memory, or only shotty memory, of her. As I talked about in the Charleston template, Beth will be busy trying to get her own people back and probably won’t give Carol the time of day. (It also occurs to me that if Beth STARTS to remember things, she may run from them, simply out of fear of what she’ll find out. But that’s the novelist in me coming out.)
But what I really want to focus on is what happens at the end of ep 21. Remember how I kept harping on how Carol and Jerry’s reaction to Rat scurrying between them was weird? Yeah, I maintain that. I get that people can be frightened of rats and such. If they were going for that with Jerry, I would have rather seen him jump up in the air and squeal. Just cuz it would have been funnier. But his reaction didn’t say frightened to me. More like…in awe. He actually said, “Is that…?” 
Tumblr media
And Carol said, “Yeah.” And she seemed full of joy and awe as well.
Tumblr media
Is that…what? A rat? Um…duh? Their reactions just make no sense to me. Jerry says that almost as though he recognizes the rat. As though it’s a celebrity rat he’s seeing at Sundance or something.
My point is, I think it’s purposeful and it’s functioning as a foreshadow and a template for what’s to come. I think Rat escaping represents Beth getting her memory back.
Tumblr media
So, maybe it’ll be something like Carol doing everything she can—telling her stories, reminding her of places, conversations, people, telling her Maggie still lives, etc.—to get Beth to remember, but, at least as far as she knows, it’s not working, and Beth is still “hiding” from her. The thing about Rat is that after trying all night to chase him out, once Carol accepted things and stopped trying so hard, the rat got out on its own. I’m wondering if that represents that after all that, Beth will just sort of remember on her own. The memory will come back.
Tumblr media
Let me interject something about Zeke, because it’s another possible interpretation here. I said I didn’t think Carol would know about Zeke being alive yet, and that’s mostly because of the convo her and Jerry have at the end. They specifically talk about missing Ezekiel and wishing he were there with them. That tells me that when we see the events this foreshadows, they will believe he’s dead, or at least missing.
So, their strange reaction to the rat COULD represent Zeke showing up alive as well. Jerry saying, “is that…?” with wonder and joy could point to that. But does it? Meh. I don’t know. I don’t think Rat represents Zeke for most of this episode. So I think it’s more likely to be Beth. But I would LOVE it if Zeke returned just as Beth got her memory back, and we had a two-fer. I don’t know that the writers would be quite that generous, but we can hope, right?
To take it a step further (into the “what changed your mind” template), I think that at some point after that, Carol will “call” Daryl to tell him about Beth. Probably on a radio or walkie, which will fulfill a lot of the symbolism we’ve seen around that. This, I think, is what their final meeting in Find Me foreshadows. That he just won’t believe her. Maybe he’ll think she’s being cruel because she wants him to stop looking for what she considers a phantom of Rick. He’ll refuse.
But notice that in FM, when he suddenly changes his mind, he doesn’t go to Carol. He goes back to Leah, and it’s to a different place than where Carol is. I was also thinking about the fact that the rat leaves Carol. It’s not like they made friends and she took it as a pet, and it hung out in the house with her. It takes off on its own. So, I think even though Beth and Carol will find each other, they’ll separate again after that. But maybe Carol knows where Beth is and when she talks to Daryl, she tells him to go find Beth. Hence, in FM, when he suddenly “changes his mind,” he goes to where he thinks Leah will be.
The point is, once Beth gets her memory back, it’ll just be a matter of time before she and Daryl reunite. (Yea!)
Tumblr media
But then there’s that pesky “I remember” from Still, right? I DEFINITELY have some stuff to say about what that one might mean. But I’ll talk about that tomorrow. Stay tuned.

How much time was between Lina getting blackmailed by Gideon and Alfie finding out??
I thought it was 24 hours but I could be making that up (it’s late and I haven’t gotten much sleep LOL)
Some of your answers to your asks have me questioning myself because I keep rationalizing Lina not telling alfie because she was still processing it? Idk in my mind Lina and alfie found out around the same time…so couldn’t this all be cleared up with a simple conversation?
Also unrelated but maybe like, 2nd cousins related: Lina and him are roughly the same age? How can he hold this against her like does he really think she had any influence as an infant? And like alfie…you were an infant..you don’t remember… but your parents forgave the Beauchamps so I feel like you can trust their judgement¿? If they had anything to do with that Sophia and Darien would not let that fly???
Omg I am so sorry, late night thoughts. I’m way too invested??? I think? But I like it
So I had to double check with @thesimsroyalfam about the duration Gideon gave to Lina to tell Alfie the truth and yes! It was 24-hours so...not a lot of time for them to process what's going on and this isn't something as easy as telling your friend that you used to steal a candy from their candy jar and talk it out. This is someone's trauma so it couldn’t have been cleared up with a simple conversation. Remember, Lina believed that her father was the one who caused this trauma to her boyfriend at that time.
I think I've said this before that what hurt Alfie most is that Lina didn't trust him enough when he puts all his trust on her. So it felt like a betrayal to him. I personally, would've felt the same as him. Imagine trusting someone to be transparent with you and then finding out that they've been hiding a crucial information about you. Wouldn't you also feel betrayed? And yes, his parents can trust the Beauchamps, but that doesn't mean he has to 😶
Also, I appreciate you being invested in my story! Thank you so much! 🥺 Have a nice day nonnie!

Hey!!! So I was wondering if you could please rec some fics where they both get into an argument? Most fics I read only deal with the angst leading upto the relationship, and not so much the struggles after that so I was wondering if you knew any good ones :) thank you! Also - I've been using your fic recs for a while especially during quarantine and they are all 10/10 I've found sooo many new favourites!!!
Hey nonnie, I'm glad this blog is helpful to you especially in these times. And yay for my taste in fics suiting yours as well! I looove the fics I rec and I'd love for other people to read these amazing stories too (esp the not so famous ones)!
As for your request, here are some Victuuri fics, both in canon and AU settings, that have that conflicts-in-an-established-relationship theme (though some also have that pre-relationship angst):
A Silhouette of Three by Anna (arctic_grey @finleighsaid [E, 21K]
Yuuri and Viktor are aiming for a third consecutive Grand Prix gold as the new skating season rolls around. Halfway through the qualifiers, however, Yuuri realises that he's pregnant. He can either tell Viktor, who he knows would freak out and demand that he withdraw from the Grand Prix, or he can keep his mouth shut, keep his mate at bay, and win the gold that he's worked so hard for.
Easier said than done.
Beside the Dancing Sea by lily_winterwood / @omgkatsudonplease [E, 186K]
He’s finally here in this lovely and quiet little beach cottage, and the rest of the year seems to stretch out infinitely before him. Time will pass, though, and it will pass faster than he realises, but in the meantime he will stop worrying about writer’s block and deadlines and not even having the foggiest clue what his next novel’s going to be about, and live.
New York Times-bestselling author Viktor Nikiforov arrives in the sleepy seaside town of Torvill Cove to cure his writer's block. After encountering local wallflower Yuuri Katsuki at a party, he discovers that this mysterious dark-haired man has a couple secrets up his sleeve.
And Viktor will be damned if he doesn't find out just what those secrets are.
Four Weddings & A Divorce Lawyer by @lucycamui [E, 107K]
Living in the big city, Victor is a successful divorce lawyer and Yuuri runs a custom wedding cake shop. Their worlds and world views collide when they meet at an engagement party, but any time a cynic and a dreamer fall in love a few cakes are bound to get smashed along the way.
from both sides by @sophia-helix [G, 608 words]
But it's quiet when he comes to their door, resting slightly ajar. Yuri doesn't knock, because no one ever does, but he finds himself pushing it open slowly, hesitant as he pokes his head inside.
Hold Me Tight by @smudgesofink [T, 11K]
Katsuki Yuuri is not a tactile man. Anyone who’s spent a minute with him can tell you that much.
Victor, however—
To say that Victor is touchy-feely is the understatement of the century.
So when Victor just stops touching Yuuri, without explanation, without reason, it makes for a painfully jarring experience.
(Alternatively titled: Five Times Victor Hugs Yuuri, and the One Time He Doesn't)
i have my body (and you have yours) by @astoryaboutwar [M, 8K]
Yuuri overflows with the weight of things that have been said, trembles with what remains.
Their shared zeroes flicker in time, the early morning light muting the red glow to faint numbers. In the amber dawn, an idol is only just a man.
(Or: the Soulmate Timers AU where things happen out of order, secrets are kept, revelations are had, and they arrive where they need to be in the end.)
long distance series by @thewalrus-said [G and E, 18K]
Summary of first fic:
Viktor,
I dithered so long on just the opening to this letter, did you know that? Specifically, whether I should open with ‘Dear.’ Are you my dear? Have we shared enough to be dear to each other? You were my dear that night, of that I am sure. I believe I even said it. “My dear,” I called you, and you smiled like the sun in response.
my love is yours to hold (through every high and every low) by colorfullysarah / @ofviktor [M, 24K] *WIP
Memories are fickle things, Viktor and Yuuri knew this long before one night changed everything two months before their wedding. It’s easy to forget to grab the milk while out grocery shopping or which street that new restaurant they wanted to try was on. And it’s even easier to forget the world can be unkind when their hearts flutter with happiness.
What they never imagined was love could be forgotten in a single heartbeat.
Or, there’s an accident. Memories are lost and years pass before they’re found again.
This is what happens after.
The Next Level by @azriona [E, 369K]
The skating season continues (as skating seasons are wont to do), while Victor and Yuuri negotiate the shifts in their relationship, their careers, and their home rink.
Sometimes, things even go as planned.
Undiscovered Country by @shysweetthing [E, 114K]
Yuuri wakes up in Victor’s room the night after the Sochi Grand Prix Final banquet. Did they sleep together? No. Instead, last night, Drunk Yuuri taunted Victor that he hadn’t earned the right to get in his pants…and spelled out exactly what Victor would have to do to get there.
Now, Victor intends to do everything on that list…
~
“The conversation,” Victor says, “went something like this. You said I wasn’t getting in your pants that easily.”
Victor says this in a normal tone of voice. Anyone could hear him. Yuuri looks around, but if anyone is paying attention, they’re pretending not to.
“Naturally, I asked what I would have to do to get in your pants.”
“Ah.” Yuuri blushes. “How embarrassing. What do you mean, naturally? Why would you ask that?”
Victor tilts his head. “Because I want to get in your pants. I thought that much was obvious by now.”
Zanka by rinsled05 / @dreaming-fireflies [E, 100K]
Aoyagi's lips parted in a sigh, and for a brief second, Viktor saw a wistful expression beneath the fine-edged veneer – fleeting and transient as a cherry blossom in bloom. There was so much unspoken that Viktor wanted, now more than ever, to take the man with him. Bring him home and far away from this glittering world of luxury and waste.
Victuuri historical AU in 1800s, Edo, Japan. Yuuri is Aoyagi, a high-ranking male courtesan, and Viktor falls hopelessly in love.
And you might have already checked them out but I'd like to remind that the post-canon fics in the thematic masterlist are also relevant.
As always, other recs are welcome! :)

Hello! Just a quick question about bearding, why do we hate the beards so much? (;Gigi, Perrie, Taylor) (the famous ones that is) if we think that our boys don’t have a choice, then the girls don’t either, right?
why do people hate the “beards”? i get they hate that our boys are closeted, but i don’t get why they hate Eleanor or Gigi or Sophia (at the time). if there’s someone to hate is mngmt and s*mon. the girls are just doing a job and it’s not like they’re having the time of their lives. like, they’re “with” someone who love someone else. they can’t have a public relationship either. i think it’s awful for both of them:( i hope it ends soon.
lumping these together cause i’m assuming they’re from the same person since they appear to be asking basically the same thing in slightly different words, also sorry for taking so long to answer nonnie but honestly the thought of answering these just left me so exhausted, like this was literally me when i saw these asks
Tumblr media
just because this is something that’s been discussed and re-discussed and re-re-discussed so much in this fandom and there’s so much information on it easily available at this point i almost feel like i shouldn’t have to explain it at all but nevertheless i will weather the storm and attempt to help you understand so here we go…
first off, while i agree with you that a lot of the blame that falls on the beards as individuals is undue—since at least for those that already had established careers in the entertainment industry there was likely at least some degree of coercion and contractual obligation from their respective teams as well just like for the boys and they’re likely not personally responsible for most of the stunts and bs narratives as much as it is their teams pulling the strings in their favor (though often heavily in the girls’ favors at the expense of the boys but that’s a whole separate point)—that doesn’t excuse the fact that they willingly agreed to partake in bearding and closeting. and before anyone chimes in with ‘well they night not have known they were helping to closet/beard someone’ let me stop you right there cause puh-lease. it’s 2018. the number of rumors piled up at this point about zayn/liam/louis/harry’s sexualities that the general public alone knows about is ridiculous all its own, and probably astronomical when you consider what those in the actual industry probably know/have heard by now. it’s not a secret. people in the industry know and they’ve all been soft outed publicly by others in the industry at least once (if not multiple times) at this point. so while the idea that these girls are coming into things blind and naive as a baby deer and have no idea what they’re getting into may have flown in 2011 it’s about as sturdy as sand now and has been since about 2012 (when the first gay rumors about louis, harry, and zayn started to fly).
i’m not gonna get much into perrie because i feel like she’s a separate case since she came from virtually the same machine as the boys but the other famous beards i don’t feel like deserve the same pass as the chances are higher that they still had at least some degree of choice in who they decided to date for pr. i could be very wrong but from what i’ve read and learned from those in the fandom that work in the industry that have talked about this, higher-profile celebs (like taylor and gigi) often get their pick of potential pr boyfriends from a list of candidates curated by their teams and/or have some sort of sway or say into who they’d prefer. and still they specifically (and repeatedly) chose queer men (or at least men widely believed to be queer, leading them both to now come to be seen by many as serial bearders).
those that came into it without established careers of course are a different ballgame because not only did they willingly agree to help closet and beard but they did so at the expense of the boys’, essentially using them as a stepping stone to climb the ladder of fame and success. eleanor might have gotten a pass back in 2011 when she popped onto the scene wide-eyed and bushy-tailed with probably no real idea of what she was getting into and no projects on the horizon to promote, but you can’t argue that she didn’t know exactly what she was getting into when she out of the blue re-upped her contract and came back on the scene in 2016 with a budding modeling career (with connections to gigi no less) and a renewed social media presence and her and louis suddenly started going everywhere looking like walking billboards, promoing every single high fashion company in existence. and pretty much all the “normal” non-famous 1d beards have followed this same/similar trajectory too. it goes: start off getting marketed as just a student and a “regular” girl who’s oh so private and not looking for fame or to be in the spotlight, then flash forward a couple years or a couple months post-break-up and suddenly they’re all models on the come-up with a 1d-launched following on social media, promoting their next shoot or fashion line or what-have-you. 
if you see nothing wrong with any of that i can’t help you…
Tumblr media
9 times out of 10 they’ve also turned out to be extremely gross people and this is actually the main reason most people hate them. not just because of the bearding but mainly because of the awful shit they’ve done all by themselves. the bearding is gross on its own sure but i think a fair amount of people these days recognize that—for some of them at least—not all of the blame for the bearding can be put on them individually and we’re not out to just blindly hate them for bearding alone like many fans were wont to do in the days of yesteryear because i think most of us understand by now that they’re people who can be just as manipulated into bullshit by those running things in the industry as the boys have. but whether they were coerced into bearding or not that doesn’t excuse many of their own disgusting behavior on a number of occasions. you can check some of the posts in my gigi, cheryl, danielle, and eleanor tags and the google webs for more concrete and exhaustive deets on the shit some of them have done but for the moment i’m just gonna list the biggest ones/and or the ones i can recall most easily off the top of my head
-gigi - involved in a bunch of racist shit (including borderline blackface, tasteless immigrant campaigns insinuating immigrants are literal aliens, and appropriating black hairstyles like afros and dreadlocks) which admittedly some of the blame for can be put on her team more so than her but still she’s not a puppet, she has a voice and some say in what she agrees to do and she fully could have turned the projects down if she saw anything wrong in it or at least apologized after the fact for participating in it and tried to make an effort not to participate in stuff like that again or to acknowledge why it was wrong (a la katy perry) and yet she continued to be involved in the same kind of shit over and over, but that also doesn’t excuse the shit she did all on her own when she made fun of asians for their features and never apologized for it and then when she got forced out of the Victoria Secret show in China b/c of all the backlash from Chinese people on sm she basically whined about it to her fans (in dm’s no less lmao wtf) and still didn’t actually apologize or admit she did anything wrong
-perrie* - called zayn a freak on-camera in an interview and basically insinuated that introverts and/or people who prefer to deal with their emotions in solitude or like to take time to be alone are weirdos
cheryl - showed her ass to be a transphobe and also a racist to the point of literal physical violence inflicted on a black woman, and also was accused of domestic violence, managed to avoid jail time for it all and basically bury it in the press, and is just an all-around gross person
danielle  - cheated on liam multiple times with multiple guys, treated liam like shit, weaseled her way back into a contract for payzer 2.0 by threatening to out ziam unless mgmt brought her back on, came back out of nowhere this past year and essentially tried to use liam for publicity again (once more by nearly soft-outing ziam)
eleanor - went all the way to india to stage a fake indian wedding with her (all-white) friends complete with traditional indian dress and jewelry and insinuating something about indians being like dogs or something like that idk i can’t remember the particulars rn but i just remember it was gross and racist and that’s really all you need to know (although i also wouldn’t be surprised if she’s pulled some other racist shit i don’t even know about)
eta: i completely forgot about camille or that she even existed lol but she’s an absolute trash human being and here’s a whole thread on why (big thanks and shout out to @achristmasmuke for the link)
as far as i can tell sophia and danielle c. (louis’ danielle, not liam’s) seem to have been the least problematic of all the beards…that we know of anyway (though that’s honestly probably mostly b/c they were perhaps the most low-key and dry of all the beards which imo is a good thing though i wouldn’t completely rule out some shit from them coming to light at some point too…maybe it has and i just don’t know about it idk but i digress)
anyway if after all that if you still don’t see anything wrong i really can’t help you, but hopefully this at least helped you understand at least somewhat better why so many people can’t stand most of them, outside of just the bearding stuff.
tl;dr - while i agree that the beards don’t necessarily deserve all the personal blame and hate they get for the bearding and the stunts, that doesn’t excuse all the other gross (racist/transphobic/violent/or just generally insulting) things they’ve done all by themselves which is actually more so what people these days hate them for besides the bearding
(*as for perrie, i purposefully left out the point about her calling zayn indian that a lot of ppl in this fandom like to use for fodder against her b/c that was print perrie and i don’t believe a word of what was said in that article actually came out of her own mouth b/c the whole thing was “her” gushing about the wedding and every single time she was asked about it irl she was about as uninterested and unenthusiastic in talking about the wedding/engagement [or giving any details at all] as zayn was imo)

Could you rec me some good KC fake dating fics/drabbles? And just some good fluff oneshots? Thanks!
Sure, nonnie! I’ll do my best. :)
(I’m gonna mostly refrain from tagging writers in this simply to avoid spamming them so much in one night haha. But I’ll link you to some of their fics/drabbles.)
I mentioned Green Card by a little-blonde-distraction in (this) post, and I think it’ll be right up your alley because it’s a fake marriage AU with a side of roommates. It’s unfinished, but it’s so damn good that you’ve gotta read it if you haven’t yet. ;)
Also, I know that In The Land of a Billion Lights by xxredwineandambiencexx is another popular fake dating multichapter AU. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet (it’s on my ridiculously long to-read-fic list *woe is me*) but I’ve heard lots of good things about it. Oh! And Collison Course by Sophia Chase and Drive me Crazy by soapmaniac22.
If you’re into Harry Potter AUs, Angie wrote a fake marriage oneshot for a Klaroline Vaycay Exchange a while back that I wrote a squealing review for because I have no chill. It’s called Rule Number Four.
As for fluffy oneshots...
You can never go wrong with anything Cristy (misssophiachase) writes. She has a drabble collection called Crossroads, with each story inspired by a movie, and another collection called The Beginning of Another Story with how/when KC arrive at their endgame. 
Kennen (childoftimeandmagic) recently wrote me a roomie AU called Thought You’d Never Ask.
Kaitlyn (she-walked-away) also writes a lot of adorable stuff. Check out Lumiére Over Me and Talk Drunk To Me (
Morgan (honestgrins) astounds me with how fast and often she puts out mini-drabbles. Totes scroll through her writing section on her blog because she writes so many cutesy and romantic KC moments. Oh! And read Delivered, which is her You’ve Got Mail AU.
Luce enjoys slaying me with her poetic prose as well as her fluffy goodness. I really loved her blind date AU tea and coffee, eggs and bacon. I can’t find her FFnet URL rn, though, and it’s driving me b o n k e r s because she has some really awesome stuff on there. (@lclrgsl you didn’t delete it, right? Or are my eyes too tired, thereby playing tricks on me lol?)
I *sigh dreamily* over Jenn’s (gooddame) writing all the time. She’s one of the sweetest humans alive and sends me snippets of writing to brighten my day with Klaroline “just because.” She wrote A Rosy Thorn In My Side, a royalty/hidden identity AU, for AU Week this year. 
Maf’s (kickassfu) drabble collection Klaroline Ficlets has tons of precious Klaroline as well. And she often includes some Koroline brotp, which I can never have enough of so there’s that.
Luiza (itsnotacrimetoloveyou) recently wrote a TO 5x06 AU that left me in a puddle of emotion, and that’s (here). You should just read all of her stuff in general, btw. She wrote me a Doctor Who AU for my birthday this year and I almost died from OTP feels, I kid you not. If you’re interested it’s: You’re the Universe I’m Helpless In. *obsessed with it forever*
Kate (accidental-rambler) has written Klaroline fic for a while now, but she’ll always be one of my favorite writers because she’s so versatile and creative. She’s over on FF.net at MrsAgentCooper. Her drabble collections 52 Weeks of Klaroline, Eternity Tastes Like Blood On Your Tongue, and All Roads Lead To You are fantastic. Also, I’m gonna kick my own ass if I don’t read her multichapter, “You Want Me To Be Yours” sometime soon. 
The same goes for Miranda’s (livingdeadblondequeen’s) The Only Hope For Me Is You.
...I know I’m forgetting lots of fic and people, but this will keep you busy for a while. (@ my followers and mutuals: please feel free to add other suggestions!)
Hope this helps, lovely! 
xx Ashlee Bree

Nonnie, you’re not annoying me at all because I love giving fc suggestions! I did answer a similar question last night (which you can see in the mw tag here) but I’m always ready to give some more:
Gemma Chan, Cierra Ramirez, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Paulina Singer, Sophia Bush, Inbar Levi, Virginia Gardner, Zendaya, Elizabeth Gillies, Danna Paola, Jessica Henwick, Camila Mendes, Danielle Campbell, Shannon Purser, Karla Souza, Lee Sung Kyung, Brittany O’Grady, Ester Exposito, Bendetta Gargari, Laura Harrier, Kate Siegel, Sofia Carson, Lee Ji-eun, Meaghan Rath, Vanessa Morgan

Hi, lovely thing. Can you recommend me some ffs with Hunger games setting or something disturbing like that? Thank you so much
Hi nonnie, here are some Hunger Games AU and other similarly dark-themed fics (excluding mafia AUs). Blanket depictions of violence warning applies (except for those with this mark ☆) + other CW as applicable/tagged. Not all pairing is Victuuri.
Hunger Games AU
Glitter & Gold by @farashasilver [E, 71K] *Major Character Death
Victor Nikiforov is the Capitol's darling, the Living Legend who's survived the Games twice. He plays the role well, but mentoring District Ten's tributes year after year is beginning to wear on him in ways he could never have imagined as the terrified sixteen-year-old winner of the 66th Hunger Games.
When Yuri Plisetsky volunteers as tribute, full of fire and fury and determined to win, Victor finds himself wanting to make sure Yuri doesn't die trying. Playing the Capitol's games win him no friends or favor, though, and Victor has to step carefully through a maze of political maneuvering to keep Yuri alive, which isn't easy when Yuri seems to loathe everything about him.
A story of survival and finding companionship in even the darkest hours, Victor will have to overcome the terrible specter of his past if he wants to help Yuri survive his future
☆ they might promise you (that the river ain't deep) by @sophia-helix [G, 2K]
His own bow was lying on the rock ten feet away, and Yuuri felt like an idiot for setting it down when he’d spotted the blaze orange bag on the ground, scrambling forward in his hasty excitement. There might have been anything in it — food, medical supplies, socks — and he hadn't waited for caution. They hadn’t been able to shoot as much game as he’d hoped, and fording that river had soaked everything they were wearing, and although they’d gotten the bullet out, the hole in Phichit’s leg was starting to go septic…
But Yuuri should have known better. Of course a supply bag lying in the open was a trap, and now he was paying for it, staring up the wooden arrow and through the black carbon-fiber frame of the bow into the cold blue eyes of his idol, five-time winning tribute Victor Nikiforov.
Dark-Themed Fics
A Cave Beside the Sea by (orphan account) [E, 15K]
Victor - in particular, Victor's body - is chosen as an offering to the village God.
A Thousand Shattered Mirrors series by @omgkatsudonplease, @exile-wrath [M and E, 88K] *WIP
Summary of first fic:
FBI Supervisory Special Agent and profiler Yuuri Katsuki is called out to New York City with his team to investigate the gruesome murders of several young Asian men. However, as more bodies turn up with increasingly uncanny resemblances to him, Yuuri must confront the possibility that he may be at the heart of the killings — or the killer.
All the Lonely People by @orchids-and-fictional-cities, @iruutciv [E, 11K] *Rape/Non-Con
Viktor Nikiforov, a young priest from the Moscow Patriarchate, is exiled to a sleepy seaside town in Japan. There, he soon learns that one of her citizens is hiding a terrible secret - and that he is not the only one who has strayed from the Divine.
Cognitive Dissonance by @katyaton [M, 104K]
When Yuuri gets kidnapped one night in St. Petersburg, all hell breaks loose. The police claim they are doing all they can to find him, but with so little clues to track him down, it seems like he’ll never be found. Viktor begins growing desperate, and just as it seems like his Yuuri will never be rescued, he and the police come across a startling video - A video of Yuuri.
This video may be just what they need to identify Yuuri’s location, but with Yuuri’s safety at stake, will it be enough to track him down in time? And just what does the kidnapper want with Yuuri?
Yuuri, meanwhile, has been asking himself the same thing.
How to be a Heartbreaker by @justrae2010 [E, 81K] *Major Character Death
Yuuri Katsuki has looked up to Captain Victor Nikiforov for years. So when his idol saves him while out on his first mission with the scouts, it’s both the best and the worst thing to happen to him. He never thought he’d see Victor again after that. He certainly never thought he’d see him in the showers for his barracks...
Life Like Legend by @nomanono [E, 5K]
The ISU gives its top senior skaters everything they need: access to the best coaches, the most meticulous meal plans, and a dedicated junior for their personal use, to sate their libido as needed.
Starlight by whatsup_buttercup [E, 21K]
“This is my room,” Viktor says breezily. “I’d love to give you your own space, but, well, the ship isn’t very big, and I imagine we’re going to be spending a lot of time together.”
Viktor’s not even looking at him, instead going over messages on his phone. Yuuri clenches his hands into fists. Since childhood, Viktor had been a dream to reach for, someone Yuuri aspired to meet one day, to dance on the same level with. Now he’s here to be his obedient, bedazzled whore; a decoration in this empty room.
that boy is a monster by @thishasbeencary, @pencilwalla [M, 8K] *Major Character Death
Viktor is almost thirty. It’s only a matter of time.
The "Viktor Nikiforov is a body-stealing monster" AU.
the crow upon the sea by lilithiumwords / @amberstarfight [E, 114K] *WIP
Supposedly, Katsuki Yuuri can hear strange messages on the radio, the government is raiding random homes in his town, and Viktor Nikiforov has disappeared.
The truth is a completely different story.
As always, other recs are welcome!

ETA: Other people's rec:
