Love your blog! Huge Jonerys shipper and just finished Seaosn 2 of Bridgerton and LOVE Polin! Kantony was amazing too! I am so excited for Season 3! Did you see the trailer! Would love yo know your thoughts! Hope you have a great day!

OH! SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS! Thanks for asking.

First, Jonerys will always be my OTP. Yeah, the show ended like a burning pile of dog turds, but in fan fiction they're living happily ever after as they should have. The one good thing is that Kit's show is not going to be made which means they will not be able to profit off Daenerys Death anymore than the already do. Kit, find you another franchise where you can swing a sword. I'll watch it. I sat through Pompeii I can do anything.

Second, I love KANTHONY!!! I mean, the PINING! THE UST! LOVE IT! All the glances and touches and the "You are the bane of my existence and the object of my every desire" yes, sir! PLEASE. Love them. So glad we get to see them happy and in love this season. Just a boon, for sure.

Third, POLIN! Ok, hang on, let me get this out of the way first because it is a huge concern to me. I do not, under any circumstances, want to see Eloise join in with Cressida to make fun of Penelope. I get it, she's hurt, but please don't let her do that because she knows all of the sensitive points about Penelope, not even counting Lady Whistledown. She knows the things she's sensitive about and stands to truly hurt her. I had my former best friend do that to me and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Though, Nicola and Luke were both adamant about their love for Eloise. So, here's hoping.

POLIN - Alright, I'm going to say what I'm sure many other people are thinking -- Colin needs to grovel in apology for what he said. It's already difficult enough for Pen, with her introverted nature, to meet and talk to people. That has been clearly established. But to then have an influential man in the ton declare that he would never dream of courting her? I mean, talk about ruining a girl's chances all around.

There are little things throughout the trailer that fascinate me. One being that I think Penelope isn't going to arrive to one of the balls with her family but fake an illness and stay home. Perhaps after seeing Eloise with Cressida at a garden party earlier that day. Something sparks within her and causes her to no longer lie there, but throw open her wardrobe and we see her getting dressed. We do see Pen see them walk away together. So, I think she comes in late, dressed in a different gown, with a different look. Perhaps she asked Madam Delacroix to make it for her outside of her mother's knowledge. Because we see her standing at the top of a staircase in a red cape and then dramatically allowing it to fall to the ground. Everyone turns and looks. (My favorite thing, is if you look at the crowd, her brother-in-law, Mr. Finch is smiling at her - such a sweet, cheese loving boy!). But Cressida and Eloise look shook. Also, in this same scene we do see Francesca and Pen later talking. This is important to me as it is said in the books, Colin is very close with Franny, especially once he starts traveling and she moves to Scotland. Lady Danbury is obviously speaking with the Queen about the possible matches that could be made. So far, all the writings we've seen about this season show that Mister Dankworth is interested in marriage, but instead of being along the lines of Nigel Berbrook, he's more along the lines of Prince Friedrich. You might root for him if Colin wasn't already in the picture. I have a feeling that while his interest will spark jealousy in Colin, it will also spark confidence in Penelope. Which, judging by some of these awkward convos we see her having with some of the other men of the ton, she really needs. But the sight of them dancing beneath the moonlight in the ballroom, and their heads close together over a book, and Colin having to sit back and watch as a bystander, is too sweet for me to take. Colin is the sort you have to hit over the head and drag him to it. Someone else finding her desirable could spark that wait, what have I missed. We love our leading man, but baby are you dense. The scene where he's sitting back and the flame slowly lights, it's like Colin's love for Penelope. It doesn't happen all at once, but as it grows and glows it gets brighter. Their trope is she falls first, but he falls harder. And in the books, that 100% true. He's my wife this, my wife that. Once he realizes that he's in love with her, there is nothing else that matters to him BUT her.

A/N3: @choicesflashfics Week #20, Prompt #3 - “Are you flirting or starting a fight?”

A/N4: @peonierose – Thank you for the picture/prompt

Royal Chambers, Cordonian Palace

It was an early Tuesday morning and Riley was taking full advantage of the terrace overlooking the gardens. Sipping her coffee, she relished her quiet time.

It’s Valentine’s Day.

...and today, her focus will be on her family.

Starting with baking home-made chocolate chip cookies that were now cooling on the counter. Promising to help Ellie with her Valentine gift for her father, she made one of the cookies into a giant heart for her to create and decorate her gift for Liam. The royal kitchen prepared 3 colors of royal icing for the princess to help her complete her decorating project.

For Liam, Riley has a surprise romantic dinner planned on the royal yacht tonight. A surf and turf feast with all his favorite dishes, prepared by the chef, cruising under the moonlight.

They had been planning a trip to Monterisso since finding out about the possible missing sister/fugitive, ‘Lena.’ The timing could not be more perfect for sailing, rather than flying to the island. Leo was already there with Amalas; Leo being the King’s representative involved with the search led by Interpol.

“Mm mm... what have we got here?” The sound of Liam’s deep groan caught her attention.

Riley turned to look inside the kitchen and saw him take a bite into a cookie.

“Hey, you,” she walked into the kitchen, smiling.

“Is this for me?” He grinned, staring at the huge heart she made.

“Yes! Yes, it is.” Riley smiled wide at his expression. Shaking her head, “it is part of Ellie’s Valentine gift for you. Do not touch, not yet!”

“Ellie wants to surprise you at lunch after your meeting by personally delivering it to you in your study.”

“This is my favorite kind of cookie," he said, reaching to grab another before turning back to her. “I’ll take care of these. You go finish your breakfast.”

“Ha, ha, your majesty,” Riley chuckled. Don’t take too many cookies back to your study with you.”

“Oh, and love.... bonne saint valentin a l’amour de ma vie.” Liam lifted her hand to kiss and then twirled her around. Riley reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered, “buon san valentino all’amore della mia vita,” followed by a deep kiss.

***

Leigh Townhouse, Capital

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Drake!” Delaney rolled underneath the bed sheets to her side to face her boyfriend coming out of the bathroom after his shower. His eyes were closed, and she smiled at how cute he looked with his wet hair sticking up all over his head and a towel wrapped around his waist. He opened his eyes and gave her a grin.

Walking to the bed, he bent down to whisper, “hey baby,” wrapping his arms around her and kissing her lips. Delaney smiled up at him as she laid there feeling safe and secure with the man she loved.

“I love you,” she told him as he kissed her again.

Drake sighed happily, “I love you too. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

He pulled himself away from her and headed towards the closet.

“Wait, what are you doing?” Delaney asked playfully as she watched him pull out his boxers from the drawer.

“Getting dressed....”

“Well, I thought that since you came out of the shower wearing nothing but your towel,” Delaney replied teasingly.

Drake smiled back at her as he sat down on the bed next to her. He reached under the sheet to pull her bottom close to him. “And how do you know I wasn’t wearing anything?”

Delaney blushed. “Umm...well...” She looked away, embarrassed.

“Well, what?” he asked again, playing along with her.

“Well, you know I didn’t see much of you last night.”

Drake laughed. “I’m sure there was plenty to see.”

He looked down at Delaney's expression and she did not look happy. “Are you flirting or starting a fight?”

“A little bit of both?” Delaney replied frustrated.

“Drake, it's the best answer I can give you right now.

It is Valentine's Day! I thought you could stay home today with me, but instead you are going out.”

“Baby, after the council meeting, I am coming right back here with your Valentine gift.” Drake replied with a grin.

***

King’s Study, Cordonian Palace

“Are you ready, princess?” Riley asked Ellie as they walked hand in hand down the hallway to deliver Liam’s valentine gift.

As they approached his door, the royal guards bowed.

Ellie raised her hand and tapped. When she heard her father's voice say, “come in,” a royal guard opened the door for Ellie and Riley.

“Daddy!” Ellie rushed in and went around his desk. Liam picked her up and placed her on his knee.

“Well, hello princess,” he said, smiling at her.

“Oh Daddy, Happy Vawindines Day! I brought you a present.” Ellie handed him the giant heart-shaped cookie she had personally decorated.

Liam kissed her cheek, “Happy Valentine’s Day, my little love. Thank you so much, will you help me eat it?”

Ellie nodded excitedly as he placed the giant cookie on his desk.

Riley was watching the exchange between the two of them as she sat down on the sofa.

Liam looked over at Riley and winked.

“Princess, I have Valentine's Day presents for you and mommy, too.”

Her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands.

“Tonight, after your lesson, we are going on a boat. That is where I put them. And guess where we are going on that boat?”

Ellie furrowed her brows, and asked, “where, Daddy?”

“To visit Micaela in Monterisso.”

***

Royal Yacht, enroute to Monterisso

After getting Ellie settled into her bed for the night, Riley changed into her evening cocktail dress.

As the servers placed platters of crab legs, scallops, and calamari on the table, the chef set down individual plates of steak and lobster for each.

The music played softly in her ears as she walked out onto the deck after dinner. Standing there, she felt like she was floating on air. A smile spread across her face when she felt Liam’s hand gently stroke her bare back.

“You look so beautiful tonight, my Queen,” he whispered, as he leaned forward for a kiss.

“Thank you,” Riley deepened the kiss.

“Come dance with me,” he said, taking her hand.

As they moved effortlessly to the music, Delaney watched from the window, sitting at the dining table inside. It was the most romantic setting she had ever seen.

“What are you thinking about?” Drake asked her, but he was fairly sure he already knew.

“It must be hard being married to a King. But Riley makes it look so easy.”

“Well, Riley is an incredibly unique woman.” Drake said in reverence.

Delaney raised an eyebrow, waiting for Drake to continue.

Riley noticed Delaney watching them, as the song ended.

“Let us join Drake and Delaney inside, we still have dessert to eat.” Riley smiled as Liam kissed her hand.

“After you, love,” Liam gently turned Riley to go inside.

As Liam went inside to sit down at the dining table, Riley met with the chef to begin dessert service.

“Delaney, I hope you are enjoying yourself.” Liam enquired.

“I am. I have never been on a yacht before.”

“Li, this is a 5-star resort on water. Thank you for including Delaney and I on this cruise.”

“Oh yes, especially on Valentine’s Day,” Delaney exclaims.

Riley smiled. “No problem, we are happy you could join us.”

As the servers set their desserts in front of them, Liam squeezed Riley’s hand. “My love, you always indulge me.”

Delaney took her first bite of the baklava, “this is delicious.”

Drake grins at Liam and lifts his glass to propose a toast.

“To great food and good friends.”

***

As the evening progressed, Liam and Drake moved to the outside deck to discuss the game plan on the search for Lena.

While Riley and Delaney went to the lounge area of the yacht.

Both women being American, shared that commonality, but moreover, Riley wanted Delaney to feel comfortable in Cordonia. Since Liam and Drake are best friends, Delaney will be included with Royal court functions that Drake attends.

“So, how did you meet Drake?” Riley asked, as she sipped her infused sparkling water.

“We were in college together, about 10 years ago, at the University of Houston. I really liked him, so when he left to come back here, I tried to stay in contact, but I lost touch with him.” Delaney explained.

“That must have been difficult for you. How did you eventually find him?” Riley asked.

“I went to student services and found his forwarding address information. I kept trying to get in contact with him hoping he would remember me. He finally called me one day and it turned out that we reconnected after all those years.” Delaney sighed.

“Yes, you were here at Halloween last Fall.” Riley smiled.

Delaney grinned, “yes.... he was so sweet!”

“Now, let’s talk about you. Drake told me that you had some very bad experiences when you came to Cordonia.

Riley laughed, “where do I begin?”

Drake murmured to Liam, “should I be worried?” Liam replied, “man, you are so screwed.” His laugh bellowed and Riley looked up to him with a smirk, hearing his comment.

As Liam and Drake walked inside the yacht, they both took notice of the blossoming friendship of Riley and Delaney.

Imagine your OTP being next door neighbours that don’t know each other. But after a particular long night out Person A can’t unzip their dress (or can’t get the knot out of their horribly tied tie; get creative!) and they’re home alone. After struggling for a long time, they have to accept that they need help. And that’s what brings them to Person B’s door in the middle of the night.

Sweet tarts (this prompt would also be such an interesting canon-adjacent rulie lol)

Everyone expected a lot out of Carrie Wilson. She had to be perfect in every aspect of her life; body, face, voice, hair, dance moves, the list went on. They also expected her to live some lavish pop star lifestyle complete with limos, lush houses, and a multitude of servants.

She bet none of them would ever believe she drove herself in her beat up old sedan (painted her signature pink, of course) and lived in a normal apartment on the dodgier end of LA.

Carrie had grown up in the lap of luxury, so she knew better than most that money didn't buy you happiness. It didn't make your mother want to be in your life or your dad prioritize his work over you. It didn't erase loneliness or buy you genuine friends and relationships.

So Carrie decided to live a simple life, one where she relied on herself, and what she earned from Dirty Candi gigs to live on-not her dad's millions or name. Sure, it would have been nice to have someone to share it with, but for now she was fine alone.

Well that's what she thought until one night when she needed a hand. She had tossed off her heels as soon as she was in the lobby of her building, walking barefoot to the elevator with a sigh. Her wig was already in her bag, and her real hair released from the severe bun she'd had it in under the wig cap.

"Ah, sweet relief," she said as she shook out her honeyed tresses.

She didn't bother turning on the lights to her apartment-the moonlight let her see well enough to drop the shoes, her keys into the bowl, purse on the couch. A sprinkle of food into the fishbowl where Wanda was swimming around playfully while Cosmo was lounging on the bottom, blowing bubbles.

The only thing left to do was get out of this dress. It was a work of art, all ruffles, sequins, and daring slits. Flynn had really outdone herself, and Carrie loved it, but she also wanted it off now.

Unfortunately, it was also done up with the world's smallest and hardest to reach zipper. No matter how Carrie turned and strained, she couldn't clasp the tab.

Fuck, what did she do now?

She knew if she called Flynn, Julie, or any of the Candis they would come help. But they also lived a ways a way, and she didn't really want to wait (or admit to them she needed help). So who did she ask?

Suddenly she heard a door down the hall open and close and Carrie wondered if the cute guy down the hall was up. She had seen him in passing a few times, getting groceries, rushing off to work. He had given her a crooked grin or a wink with his spring green eyes every time, but they hadn't said more than a few hellos to one another. She didn't even know his name.

But any port in a storm right?

She grabbed her keys (the ones with the tiny can of mace that Kayla insisted she needed) and went out to the hall, stopping at the door, straining to see if she heard any movement.

There was the sound of music-a band she didn't recognize but liked the sound of-so she knocked. Loudly.

"Hold on!" a voice called and then the door opened-with a wet nose poking out, then her neighbour above it. "Hi, sorry, Dolly likes to meet new people."

Carrie snickered, crouching down to rub the pooch's face. "Well hello Dolly. Nice to meet you."

The dog let out a happy little bork and sat, panting at her. Her owner looked impressed and grinned at her. "Well you've got a fan for life."

Carrie shrugged. "All she wanted was a little attention."

"I meant me," he said with a blush, then coughed. "Anyways, what can I do for you? Mail mix up? Locked out?"

"This is going to sound really bad, but can you undo my dress for me?" Carrie asked. "I can not reach the zipper, and it's too nice to cut me out of."

The guy's jaw might as well have been on the floor as he processed her request. "M-me? Why?"

"I have no one else," Carrie admitted. "I literally just need the zipper lowered, nothing else. I'll owe you a coffee or I can walk Dolly here if you ever need me to."

The guy grinned at that. "Well I don't trust just anyone with my dog. How about we do names first and then I can be your dashing hero?"

Carrie giggled at that despite herself. He was cute, she was tired, and honestly she liked that he tried to be a gentleman. "Sorry, long night. I'm Carrie."

"Reggie," he replied. "And you've already met Dolly here."

"Pleasure," she said, then turned to show him the back of her dress. "Can I please have some assistance?"

"Sure thing." Reggie stepped out a little further, Dolly keeping the door open for him, which earned her a head ruffle and a 'good girl' as he let his eyes travel; over the expanse of Carrie's back. Finally he spied the zipper, and gently grasped the tab, giving it a firm yank.

Carrie felt like she could breathe again as the zipper rasped open, feeling the cool rush of air on her back. Reggie stopped it as he reached the middle of her back.

"You got it from here?" he asked. "Cause while I wouldn't mind doing the rest, I figure you might want some privacy for that part."

Carrie turned her face and gave him a eye roll but a genuine smile. "I'm god, but thanks so much for the aid. You're my hero."

He gave a mocking bow, and Carrie delighted in the faint blush that painted his cheeks as she clutched the front of her dress to herself. "How about tomorrow we meet up for that coffee? Say around ten? Pastry will be my treat."

"I'd like that," Carrie admitted. "Thanks again for the help."

"Always here for a damsel in distress... or a stuck dress," Reggie joked, earning a snort from Carrie that made him beam. "See you tomorrow?"

"Can't wait," Carrie replied. "Night Dolly. Until tomorrow my dashing knight."

Reggie grinned and went back inside his place while Carrie shut the door to hers, taking one last glimpse of him before shutting the world out. Giddy about the prospect of tomorrow.

And she bet no one on Earth would ever expect Reggie to be the kind of guy she would like, but she lived to defy expectations-and she couldn't wait to see how Reggie would defy all of hers.

Any of those you wanna give a whirl? 😉 I love you, my sweets!! 💕💕💕

Baby giraffe! 🥰💕💕💕

Look, I know you know I know what you were doing, giving me these particular tropes, so I'm just... gonna give you exactly what you wanted, okay? 🥺💗 Okay.

So pls enjoy some soft™ vibes from this Stucky kidfic cowboy AU I dreamed up for our beloved @otp-holic 💘

Steve followed Bucky into the stables, where Mackenzie was sitting on a folding chair in front of Sunflower’s stall.

“He was beginning to be afraid he had come to the wrong planet, when a coil of gold, the color of the moonlight, flashed across the sand.” She looked up from her book, blinking slowly. “Oh. hi.”

“There’s someone I want you to meet,” Steve said, walking over to Mackenzie and tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. “You up for a little chat?”

She nodded, closing the book and pressing it against her chest, her eyes now fixed on Bucky.

Bucky took a few careful, measured steps towards her, scooting down on his haunches. “Hey there. I’m Bucky. Your dad told me your name is Mackenzie?”

Mackenzie nodded again, glancing sideways at Steve. He smiled at her, reaching over the door of Sunflower’s stall and scratching him behind the ears.

“Yeah,” she eventually said, picking at the tattered corner of the book.

“That’s a nice name.”

“Yours is funny.”

“Mac, come on,” Steve chided, very gently, his fingers slowly unraveling a knot in the horse’s mane.

Bucky huffed a soft laugh, tilting his head to the side. “Bucky? Yeah, it is. My name is actually James, but my sister started calling me that before I could even walk, and it stuck.”

Steve let out a breath he didn’t realize he'd been holding, something tugging at his heart. Mackenzie looked like she was trying her best not to smile.

“What were you reading to him?” Bucky went on, nodding towards Sunflower.

“The Little Prince.” She showed Bucky the cover, well-loved and worn. “He likes it when I read to him.”

“I’m sure he does. Do you mind telling me what else he likes?”

“Apples,” Mackenzie said after some deliberation. “Especially red ones.”

Bucky nodded solemnly, his eyes so kind Steve forgot what he was doing. Sunflower flicked his ears, leaning demandingly into his touch.

“Yeah, they’re my favorite, too.”

“She’s a really great kid.”

The sun had dropped low, hanging lazily over the orange-washed horizon.

“Yeah, she is.” Steve looked at the beer in his hand, the edge of the label peeling away with condensation. “I just hope I’m doing a good enough job with her.”

“From where I’m standing, it looks like you’re doing an amazing job.” Bucky took a long pull from his bottle, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.

Steve tried, and failed, not to stare.

“Uh, thanks.” He felt a flush creeping up his cheeks, and he busied himself with fidgeting with the cuff of his flannel. “It’s just been tough, y’know, since her mom passed. My nephew Peter is helping me homeschool her, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him.”

“You’d do just fine, Steve,” Bucky said, his voice soft and low. “But I’m glad you’ve got people helping you. You don’t have to do everything by yourself.”

Steve looked up at him, frowning.

Bucky rubbed his knuckles across his mouth, the look on his face turning inwards. “Shit, sorry. I didn’t mean it like— just, forget it. I was out of line.”

“No, c’mon.” Steve finished his beer, lowering the bottle on the porch by his chair. “I think I need someone reminding me of that.” He hummed under his breath, looking out across the paddocks. “I mean, I can be a bit stubborn, sometimes.”

“You don’t say,” Bucky deadpanned, his voice light with poorly hidden laughter.

A Canopy of Stars

Author: shadowsong26

Rating: PG

Fandom: BSG

Characters: Gaius Baltar, Caprica-Six

Warnings: Background references to death/etc,; but nothing really specific.

Summary: A few weeks after settling on Earth, Gaius and Caprica share a quiet night together.

Disclaimer: All characters are the property of their respective creators.

Notes: Written for the Year of the OTP event. March prompt: fresh starts.

(I am also going to do this for Star Wars and some of my original ‘verses, if you’re interested in checking those out! One ship per canon. The fanfic ones will be posted to AO3 probably a day or two after they’re on tumblr. This fic is also available on AO3 here. Master list of all fills can be found here.)

This was something they had never done before--lie on the grass together, staring up at the stars. Or, well, perhaps Caprica had projected something like this for herself, somewhere along the line, but it had never been an experience they’d shared.

But they were here now, together, on the living Earth; together under a canopy of stars, the air smelling of sweet grass and woodsmoke.

(The fire was mostly there to deter any curious local fauna from investigating their half-built home. The night was warm enough, and the full moon provided enough light, that they wouldn’t have needed it otherwise.)

If it wasn’t entirely quiet--due to said curious local fauna, if nothing else--it was peaceful.

And it all felt…very real. Purely, physically, undeniably real. This world, this new life, the sound of her breathing next to him. Not suddenly, exactly, but more so than it had yesterday, or the day before. Tomorrow, he thought, might be realer yet again.

“What are you thinking?” she asked.

“Mm, nothing really,” he said, shifting position to lean on one arm, tracing delicate patterns along her shoulder with one finger, and then paused, remembering. “…you had a scar here, didn’t you? I mean, before. On Caprica.”

It had been a slightly jagged crescent on the outside of her arm. And he remembered the dress she’d been wearing the first time he’d noticed it--soft, dark green; with just enough buttons to build tension and not so many that it became frustrating.

Her hand drifted to meet his, and she smiled. “I did. I remember thinking it looked like a moon.”

“It did,” he said, and kissed the spot--and then her fingertips--softly. “…did it…”

“What?”

“Was it strange, to…to wake up and find it gone?”

It was something he’d never really thought about before, in all the time he’d given to considering Cylon resurrection, particularly after D’Anna. But seeing her unscarred shoulder…while there were things he would certainly prefer to forget, the thought of waking up with scars like that one, with all the little marks that showed one’s body had been truly lived in just--gone, washed away in a cybernetic amniotic bath…

“…I’m not sure strange is the right word,” she said, after thinking it over for a moment. “Especially with…with everything else going through my head at the time. But I noticed it. I was encouraged to…I tried not to think about it too often. To allow myself that…that clean break, that new beginning. To move forward. But I remembered. I couldn’t help remembering.” It was her turn to shift position now, leaning on that same arm to face him, resting her face on her hand; her hair almost glowing in the moonlight. “Do you want to know how I got it?”

“Maybe later,” he said, leaning in to kiss her, light and tender. “We have time.”

And there it was again; that sense of reality. Not closing in, the way it had in the past.

But stretching out around them; wide open, like this grassy clearing; like the endless starry sky.

Like the promises they’d made--no more secrets, no more lies, no more hidden agendas or ulterior motives. To take the leap of faith, to be honest with each other, to trust each other.

They had loved each other for a long time; but this kind of simple, open trust was something new.

And beautiful.

She smiled; that soft, sweet smile that had once been so rare and so cherished--although no less so now that he saw it almost every day--and kissed him back. “We have all the time in the world.”

This week's reading log is here and there is a lot. Stucky Week provided me with lots of incredible fics to read and it was honestly a delight! There are a couple of things I didn't get around to reading just yet but I'm hoping I can get to them very soon <3 Make sure to check out the @stucky-week tumblr to see some incredible non-fic creations too.

Favourites are marked with a 🌻

🌻 Move Before We Lose It by dontcallmebree @iamthe-wo-manwhocan [Stucky, 59k words, Mature]

“The two of you are ridiculous.” Okoye grabs a bag of M&Ms and starts picking out all the greens. “If I knew that hiring you would turn Steve into an unbearable goof, I would’ve voted for the guy who claimed he came up with Got Milk?”

“I thought that asshole hit on Wanda as soon as he came out of his interview.” Bucky makes an unpleasant face.

Okoye raises an eyebrow. “Yeah, so imagine how obnoxious the Steve and Bucky show’s been for the last five years.”

With the help of his brother T’Challa, Bucky Barnes lands a job at Danvers Advertising right out of college. He never would have seen the family and life he’d build with his team coming, or the lifelong friendship with one Steve Rogers.

Couch is Synonymous with Matchmaker by oh_i_swear @oh-i-swear-writes [Stucky, 5k words, Teen]

Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain American is living a good, if lonely, life.

However, a new tenant with an awful couch moves into the Brooklyn Brownstone that houses Steve's apartment and kind of turns everything upside down - but in the best possible way.

A shrunkyclunks meet-ugly-turned-meet-cute in which the awful couch accidentally becomes a matchmaker (of sorts, anyway).

How to Make a Million Dollars by Getting Fired by isolatedwriter [Stucky, 8k words, Teen]

Bucky never liked SHIELD, but he didn't think he'd ever been on the run from them. However, clearly his past self didn't account for finding Steve Rogers being strapped to a bed against his will. Something like that seems to turn your whole life around.

In which Bucky frees Steve from SHIELD and they end up on the run together.

The Importance of Being Stevie by alexcat @alexcat45 [Stucky, 711 words, Teen]

Steve heads to Wakanda and meets Bucky's other sweetheart - his goat.

The Artbook by luna_rainbow @luna-rainbow [Stucky, 1k words, General]

Steve notices Bucky doesn't like using the new arm, so he brings something with him on his next visit to Wakanda to explain why it was okay.

🌻 Running Out Of Time by The_Glacian @steve-x-bucky [Stucky, 1k words, General]

When Bucky returned home from work, they popped open a bottle of cheap red wine that burned all the way down when Steve took a cautious sip.

to hoping by christywantspizza @christywantspizza [Stucky, 1k words, Explicit]

"If I can still be useful here, maybe I can find a purpose."

"More than a purpose, Steve. You can find a life."

If I could tell you I was yours by christywantspizza [Stucky, 2k words, General]

Steve meets a scared Bucky in the streets of Brooklyn one day and helps him find his way home.

🌻 The Weight of Gold by dreamsinthewitchouse @dreamsinthewitchouse [Stucky, 860 words, General]

”Your arm,” Steve says, his voice still weak from the cold. ”What happened to it?”

OR:

Steve is trapped under ice in the Arctic Ocean. Merman!Bucky finds and saves him.

The Sweet Escape by The_Glacian [Stucky, 823 words, General]

In a few strides, Steve covered the distance between them and wrapped him in his arms.

I Can See That This Love Was Meant For Me by HNJ [Stucky, 2k words, Explicit]

“What’s this?” Nat says. She hands him a page and Steve touches it with careful hands. The paper is faded and brittle, but the drawing it carries is still the same.

As he stares at the image, lost years curl around his heart. They tangle around him like vines until they’re all he can feel. He puts the paper down.

“Just a portrait.” He says.

It's A Beautiful Arm by buckybarnesdeservestobehappy @buckybarnesdeservestobehappy [Stucky, 100 words, General]

Steve reunites with Bucky in Wakanda.

Cradled in Love by The_Glacian [Stucky, 879 words, General]

It was no secret that Steve was a delicate creature.

Wrap Your Hands Around Me (Show Me I Belong) by whenwordsmakesense @whenwordsmakesense [Stucky, 963 words, Teen]

Post Mission, Bucky can't sleep, and Steve's super-hearing picks up on it. Cue late-night cuddles and some of Steve's inner-thoughts.

🌻 En Pointe by Oh_i_swear [Stucky, 8k words, Teen]

Bucky Barnes is an ex-professional ballet dancer now running his own dance school. He's kind, compassionate and clearly cares about the kids in his class and their dreams and goals - most of which involve getting to the stage where they can dance en pointe.

Steve Rogers is a perfectionist and owns En Pointe, the dance wear store nearest to Bucky's dance studio. It's almost light a right of passage when the kids in Bucky's class get to visit the store, not only because they finally get their pointe shoes, but because they get to see the infamous squabbling between Mr Barnes and Mr Rogers who clearly rub each other up the wrong way.... but is everything as it seems?

Listen Close by fandomfluffandfuck @fandomfluffandfuck [Stucky, 9k words, Explicit]

The Barnes And Noble podcast is run by two best friends - life long friends - Steve and Bucky. They talk about a multitude of topics but when the topic at hand turns to the quite often laughable quality, or lack thereof, of the pornography industry and things like fake moans come up... with examples (at least, examples on Bucky's part) it's pretty damn hard (pun not intended) for Steve not take, uh, interest with that sound. Or with other sounds Bucky may or may not make.

...and, well, that conversation isn't one they're ever going to publish as it turns out.

The Office Romance by isolatedwriter [Stucky, 4k words, Teen]

It had become a joke around the office, the fact that Barnes and Rogers acted like an old married couple.

In which Steve and Bucky are already dating, but their co-workers haven't exactly caught on yet.

🌻 Pyxis by The_Glacian [Stucky, 6k words, Teen]

Pyxis, ‘the compass’ – a constellation in the southern hemisphere.

(Being single didn’t directly translate to having a prime deficiency. Yet a break-in was what Bucky needed to realise that his life could use a little variety.)

Moonlight Kissed by The_Glacian [Stucky, 782 words, General]

The problem was, Steve had very little experience in the physical aspects of dating.

A Wish Upon the Fireworks by jesm @jesmme [Stucky, 676 words, Teen]

Steve & Bucky watch the 4th of July fireworks and Steve gets a birthday wish

🌻 Lips That Touch Liquor by millesable @marvelousescapism [Stucky, 6k words, Teen]

“I can’t lose you, Buck… you’re the only… you’re all I got in this whole world, Buck, I can’t…”

“Lose me? Where you think I’m goin’, huh, pal? I’m right here.”

“You’re gonna leave me. When you find out.”

“Find out what, Stevie?”

🌻 A Good Cause by apkidd @deletexforever [Stucky, 8k words, General]

When Steve reluctantly covers the charity kissing booth, he catches the eye of a handsome stranger with a wallet full of cash.

Dreaming Wide Awake by The_Glacian [Stucky, 928 words, General]

It was a fine summer evening that found him at the kitchen counter, experimenting with rye bread, when Bucky let himself in through the front door.

A couple of kids from Brooklyn by unremarkable @otp-holic [Stucky, 1k words, General]

Bucky comes back home after a few days out on a mission and finds Steve in the middle of a research of its own.

🌻 evening glow by PurpleStarship @inthelapofthewhiteqwen [Stucky, 1k words, General]

They're watching the cars pass by down on the street, the children playing ball in a dead-end, the way they used to all these decades ago. Bucky wonders if some eighty-odd years down the line two of those kids will be sitting by the window in their own little place and say: "We used to play ball in that alley. Look how far we made it, sweetheart."

***

Bucky and Steve spend a quiet evening at home:3

AeVen - But with you, it’s different

paring : Aether x Venti ( Genshin Impact )

genre : fluff

words : ~1000

summary : a day before travelling to Inazuma, Aether meets with the Anemo Archon

note : i just want to write something for my otp haha it’s a little short though, hope you guys enjoy.

Aether never thought that someday, he would want to be with someone this much. From the beginning, from the first day he set foot onto Teyvat, the only thing occupying his mind is finding the whereabout of his precious twin sister. Everything he does, every commisions or stories that he has been through is all for that purpose. However, at this very moment, he feels as though all reasonings have escaped. The night sky in Mondstadt today is filled with the radiant moonlight, but all the traveller can see is the figure of the bard with all backgrounds converting into dimness

The way the Anemo Archon smiles at him right now, which brings his heartbeat in sync with sounds of wind fluttering leaves, makes the young traveller finding it hard to respond. How should he respond when all words seem to have escaped from his very lip ?

Why does it suddenly become like this ? Aether looks for the answer deeply in his head, but he should have already known that it is a difficult task. Meanwhile, the smile on the bard disappears

“Traveller, is there something wrong ? Your expressions seem to have stiffen a bit.” - worriedly asked the Anemo Archon “No… it’s nothing. It’s just that, it’s really nice to meet you, Venti.”

“ Eh? That kind of words make me truly happy, but I will misunderstand, you know.”

Teasefully were the words of Venti, but then seeing that the traveller doesn’t respond like usually, he just smiles and puts his hands behind him, walking forward.

Still at lost for words with his heartbeat rising rapidly, Aether feels his face become hotter and the body can’t move like he wants. It stiffens a bit and his palm feels sweaty.

He and the Anemo Archon have been acquaintances for a while, but never before did he come into contact with this kind of feelings. What is this, he wonders.

He has just returned from Liyue after a long adventure, with all the Fatui’s fight and Morax’s fake death, all that kind of stuffs. The first thing that appears on his mind while waiting for preparation to travel to Inazuma is to see his dear bard. Is him his, Aether suddenly realises but chooses not to pursue it.

“So you are going to Inazuma next, I heard”

“Ah… yes.” Venti’s voice abruptly distracts him from his thoughts “I must meet the Raiden Shogun, however difficult it may be” Venti doesn’t reply but Aether knows that he is contented with the determination of the traveller. From the day they meet, this person has always supported every decisions he made without any hestination. The Anemo Archon never ever questions his wishes.

They have never run out of stories before, but now no one says a word. The two of them just stands next to each other under the moonlight piercing through leaves at Venessa’s tree. Aether doesn’t mind. He never minds the bard’s presence. Opposite exactly, he always feels at peace with Venti. His voice, his hands, the way expressions on his face always change, they are all fascinating.

But now does he just realize this feelings. Although having not found out the name of this feelings, it seems too similar and too faraway at the same time.

“Here, a blessing from the Anemo Archon, ehe” the Archon chuckles softly and proceeds to place a Cecillia on the traveller’s head “It suits you, like I thought” said Venti, with his hands still place on the other’s head.

Aether is taken by surprise with this sudden movement as he swiftly catches the gentle hand on his hair. At the very first moment he feels the warm from the person in front of, he doesn’t want to let go any more. He wants to be able to be in presence of this tenderness all the time.

Surely is Venti surprise by this, but he does not say anything. He is happy instead.

“S-sorry. I don’t know why I did it” said Aether, but he doesn’t let go.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind.”

The bard moves his hands to interwine with the traveller, tilts his head and says.

“Hey. I have missed you. Aether”

Throughout the time they hang out together, Venti never calls his name, instead he addresses as the traveller. The call of his name from the Anemo Archon makes his heartbeat skip a beat, and he can fell a warm notion spreading all his bodies.

“Me too. I have wanted to see you for a long time.”

“So the feelings is mutual.”

He has met many people in his adventures. No matter how amazing they are, how nice they are, this emotion never grows. However, right this moment, as the wind softly brushes their cheeks, the presence of this bard occupies every veins in the young traveller. But then, he can not remain in this place, however warm it is. He must go. It is inevitable.

“You don’t have to say anything.” As if reading his mind, Venti says. “You do not have to say farewell. Let’s… just enjoy each other’s company, alright ?”

Ten fingers still interwinded, they sit down next to each other. Venti takes off his hat and lay his head on Aether’s shoulder. The time is not relevant right now. May be the world is the same. He would like to escape everything right now.

“I have never wanted to be with anyone. But with you, it’s different.”

the character question game but with gar and/or jon? (also love escapism!)

thank you for the ask! and I will absolutely answer with both of my boys!

and I'm so glad you like Escapism! That means so much! 💚💚🥺

:Gar:

a song that reminds me of them

I'mma do my three favs because why not

Monster - STARSET

Animal - The Living Tombstone

I'm Not Ok - Weathers

what they smell like

honestly.. he probably naturally smells like outside if he doesn't shower.

an otp

I think everyone knows but

✨GARJON✨

a notp

G*rchel, enough said.

favorite platonic/familial relationships

tiger son with his emo bird dad

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with

it's not really a headcanon but I'm not a fan of the whole Gar is the silly jokester of the team and that's his only role, especially not in Titans. He can be goofy sure but I prefer writing and seeing his character as more mature and level headed compared to Rachel and Tim. He's the kid who never got to be a kid so acting childish and relaxing or just enjoying life by having fun and acting his age isn't something he knows how to do.

the position they sleep in

on his side. absolutely can not fall asleep on his back, too many memories of being strapped down in Chief's lab.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in

SUPERMAN AND LOIS. Escapism was birthed because of how badly I wanted to see Gar with the Kents.

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn

the hair style, the jacket, everything about this look is just top-tier

:Jon:

a song that reminds me of them

three again,,

Superkid - Livingston

I Am Not A Robot - MARINA

Happy Face - Jagwar Twin

what they smell like

Gar in a fic thinks: "A very specific lavender cologne with a hint of that fresh burning firewood smell." so we'll go with that lol

an otp

as seen above in Gar's "an otp" answer, but JonTag was cute too

a notp

Jon with any of his 'love interests'. they all suck.

favorite platonic/familial relationships

moonlight and sunshine twins

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with

I really don't know, I mostly agree with a lot of the Jon headcanons because they're usually made to give Jon's character more depth since the show sure doesn't. I guess people acting like he's a jock stereotype just because he dresses fancy and sporty is annoying since it's been shown many times in the show that Jon is far from a "jock" character.

the position they sleep in

back to my fics for the answer: "Flipping onto his side, gazing at Jonathan who -to his not surprise- is sleeping on his stomach with his arms crossed under his pillow and neck twisted, facing away from Gar; making the teenager cringe, imagining how painfully stiff Jon’s neck must be when he wakes up. How could someone sleep like that?" that's how.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in

Titans.. but really I just want him to meet Gar 😅

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn

this jacket is such a look, wish he would have worn it again.. but it's rightfully and logically tied with

the earrings, the smoky eye, the leather jacket and gloves, the tight red pants with those boots. Jordan was already attractive but this is a whole new level 😳😳

thank you again for the ask! ❤️

#tag game #gar logan #jonathan kent #garjon #cods.talkin

Word of Honor eps 1-10 (thoughts and feels!)

Well, grab your glasses, fill them with your favorite drink and raise them up because this wonderful drama is doing God's gay work lmao Cheers!

I mean, who would've thought that the romance (there's no way I'm even gonna pretend and call it “bromance”) between a former and dying leader of a assassin's organization under the Emperor's orders AND the unstable (a gentle way to say crazy) but charismatic overlord of the sneaky and scary Ghost Valley, could end up being this sweet and kinda wholesome? I mean, I could easily name couples from other dramas that do not have as healthy of a dynamic as these two or the same level of understanding between them (they’re soulmates!)... Which is, you know, bit unexpected lol

On the other side, while the person they present to each other is true to them to some extent, is also in no way the people they are completely (or were, in ZZS’s case). You have one man that is trying to forget his past and trying to live peacefully for the remaining of his days, and the other who laughs at people who fight and kill each other for a piece of glass that he helped replicate, seemingly just for the laughs. This romance is INSANE and they’re most definitely not good people but I DON’T CARE, because I need them together and happily living in seclusion, just like they want. I’m rooting for them.

No, but for real, I'm gonna start measuring the gayness in BL chinese adaptations in a scale from The Untamed (lowest) to Word of Honor(highest) now because holy Jesus! I never thought I'd see another chinese BL that would make me see The Untamed as a bromance (and still doesn't lol but it's easier to imagine now, in retrospective). Word of Honor basically went "hey let's try and see how much of this we can get away with, let's find our away around the system, put in there as many touches and hugs and loving looks without ever actually saying the words “I like you/I love you” and let's just hope for the best" and my goodness! Those crazy brilliant bastards! Those mad geniuses! They fucking did it!! And it's an amazing thing to see. It’s beautiful.

Anyway, I have to say, while the romance storyline has me in love with this drama, I struggle to keep up with all the Sects' drama and their schemes to get ahead of each other lol which was something I saw coming given that I didn't like that in the novel as well. And I realize I have to pay a bit more attention to that because otherwise I'm not gonna get the whole story they've written for my precious, gayest, craziest and blood-thirstiest male lead ever, our very own and dangerous Wen KeXing (who is being played delightfully by Gong Jun, it’s like this role was made for him).

Difference with the novel

Yeah, I know I shouldn't obsess about this, but I can't help it. I mean, if we look at it broadly, they're basically telling the same story. Let's look deeply though and it's different, a more detailed one, I guess? The novel is very short (yet i haven't finished it and it doesn't help that I can't find it completely translated lol) and it's not that I don't like the changes, on the contrary, I'm glad and they had to because otherwise they couldn't tell a story that filled all 35 episodes. And it's good because this way they added more depth to the story and characters and we have more interactions with our OTP.

My biggest surprise about the differences with the source material is that they decided to tell/show right away that Wen KeXing is bad news and a little okay a lot coocoo bananas. Even past halfway of the novel, you still don't know the full story with him, despite his weird behaviour (although Zhou ZiShu suspects it).

Another thing (but this is me being super picky) is that I preferred the way Cao Weining and A-Xiang met in the novel, but in the drama they made A-Xiang appear right away as the badass she is before the guy. It's still a "love at first sight" kind of meeting on his side, so it's okay. And we have KeXing older brother/parent protective side that it's not that shown in the novel. So you win some, you lose some lol.

Them, drinking under the moonlight, being happy and starring lovingly at each other is most definitely not straight. There isn’t any heterosexual explanation for that.

Now I need to see ep 11 asap because I cannot handle my OTP fighting and going their separate ways (this doesn’t happen in the novel!). They need to reconcile soon! The fastest the do that, the fastest I can get over that final scene at the end of ep 10. Gong Jun was brilliant but damn! That was a bit scary.

#word of honor #gong jun #zhang zehan #shen he ling #cdrama #tian ya ke #kinda long post #sorry to everyone who has no idea what i'm talking about #but y'all should check it out #for the first time in some time i felt really inspired to talk about a drama #this much #cdramas are my salvation right now after some heavy disappointments

OK, I’m going to go on a little rant so bear with me.

First of all, I think the theory that Badr is wtfock’s version of Mikael makes a lot of sense. It would explain how sobbe is tied to the plot. It would also explain why the Mikael character isn’t part of the balloon squad and hasn’t appeared on screen. I’m not saying that he is as he might not be and we are completely wrong in the theory. But-if he is, it does absolutely nothing to diminish or undermine the relationship between Robbe and Sander.

I am very much an OTP girl. Robbe and Sander are soulmates, written in the stars, cosmically bound, fated to end up together, and the love of each other’s life. There is nothing that could take away from that-nothing. And I would never ship either of them with anybody else. That being said, I hate the way some people treat ships as somehow “impure” if either of the people had prior love interests. This is especially true of same gender ships where one partner is bi or pan. Having a previous relationship with another gender is absolutely fine, but having one with someone of the same gender is a big no no and makes their OTP relationship somehow less meaningful. That’s bullshit. Full stop.

People fall in love. People have feelings for other people. People have relationships with other people. People have sex with other people. People have a past. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If Sander had feelings for or even a relationship with Badr, it doesn’t make his love for Robbe less special or significant or important. He saw Robbe under the moonlight and knew immediately- ‘he is the one’. But before that night, he didn’t know Robbe existed. He didn’t know if he would meet “the one” or when. He may not have even thought there was “the one” out there. So how can he be judged for having a past before he even knew of the existence of his true love? He should never have feelings for or a relationship with someone else because he should know that he might one day meet the love of his life and another relationship would be disrespectful to his future love? That is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. And I weep because there are people out there that treat their real life partners that way.

As for why Sander may not have shared this information with Robbe, I also find that to be totally understandable. I don’t think it’s because he liked or loved another boy once, I think it’s because it was a really dark period in his life that he doesn’t want to revisit. Someone is not required to tell their partner every single thing that has happened to them in their entire life or they are somehow lying. Everyone should be able to have things they keep to themselves for their own well-being, which would likely be the case for Sander. That being said, I think he probably would have told Robbe someday, but if the story goes this direction, Robbe is gonna find out another way and likely feel insecure over it. And those feelings are normal, but it doesn’t make them correct. I also think it’s less likely that Robbe would be insecure about Sander having feelings for another boy and more because Sander didn’t tell him about it and he would wonder why.

Either way, there is nothing and no one that could ever come between them. There is nothing and no one that could ever mean more to them than they mean to each other. And no amount of past relationships will change that.

#wtfock #wtfam #sobbe #im just preparing for the inevitable storm #sander driesen #allow sander the freedom to have had a life outside of robbe and his own past #and respect that humans are HUMAN

The “give you a Fic name, ask what would you write” game!

How about:

Beneath the Moonlit Sky

Thanks for the ask, @my-glitter-heart 💗 This title is beautiful and so inspiring. This would fit and inspire me to write stories for at least three of my favorite pairings, and I considered a fic for my OTP Prince Hamid and Lady Elizabeth (stargazing is canon for them), maybe one-shot about first kisses (or not) under the moonlight; however, I think I might have been influenced by the end of The Unexpected Heiress and had this other idea.

This title reminded me of Mr. John and MC when she first arrived at Windcroft Manor, and later of the dance in the balcony... and living at the manor would allow MC meetings by chance with Mr. John, moments when they could talk, share stories and grow closer... slowly falling in love beneath the moonlit sky.

I think I'd write a fic abt one of these particular encounters, right before MC's wedding with Francis. The closer it gets to the wedding day, the less she sees of John, and she misses him and is devastated by the prospect of them being pulled apart by circumstances. A few days before the wedding, after MC's stepmother's presence interrupts her from going to John in the hallways, MC cannot sleep. In the middle of the night, she would sneak away to the gardens, her mind drifting to John and that first time there and all that has passed in the weeks since she's been at England. Then she sees John, also lost in thought in his favorite spot. She considers leaving, but them don't. He doesn’t go either. It's awkward at first, they have so much to say... and they would have a heartfelt conversation, share an intimate moment and maybe even mourn a future they wish they could have together.

(((Oh, gosh! It turned out angst too quickly!)))

Thanks for the ask!

Can I please request a fic about Luca teaching the reader to waltz?

LUCA BALSA: WALTZ LESSONS

Image Credit

Wordcount: 858

Note: Uh, not a fic but headcanons will do... right?

Unedited

Joseph and Mary were your original choices for dance teachers

But uh… they’re hunters and hunters are kinda...

ˢᶜᵃʷʸ

The only survivors that probably knew the waltz were Edgar, Margaretha, and Luca

However, Edgar is, well

Edgar

There was NO way he was going to help anyone else

Margaretha was nice, charming, and a dancer so of course she’d be the absolute best option for you

But when Luca hears about your desire to find a waltz dance teacher, he stepped in before you could even ask Margaretha

He finally found a reason to bond with his crush 🥺

Luca was rich before he lost his memory so he definitely knew the waltz!

HAHAHAHAHA

To be fair, he did know in the past

Just… you do realize he lost his memories, right?

And he can’t really focus properly.

Well he actually not sure if he can’t think because of his damage or because you’re just so close to him

But don’t worry at least he remembers some basics!

I swear to god, this boy steps on your feet more than YOU step on HIM

It’s worth it though because the cute little laugh you let out every time it happens is just AUIFAGEIOAGN

He also manages to get a few blushes out of you

He sometimes thank the gods that he remembers how to safely dip you

The first time he dips you, you were a Mess™

AND HE DID SO SMOOTHLY WITH A SMIRK

HE EVEN WINKED

Edgar is just in the background scoffing at the ridiculousness of the situation

He could do so much better and he wasn’t even a dancer!

Like isn’t Luca suppose to be the professional here? Why does it look like you’re doing better?

But you still took lessons with him every day

Why?

To admire at his handsome face from up close 🥺

You sneaky bastard >:)

It’s been almost two months of lessons and he has barely made any moves on you.

Margaretha, who’s been secretly watching, helps him make a plan to make you swoon

Because she’s been watching since almost the very beginning

And let’s just say this couple is really dumb because they don’t even notice the heart-eyes they give each other

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

It honestly took so long for her to convince him to do her plan

He kept being like “Why would they like me?” “I’m so annoying” “I’m not normal like the other people.”

Well, one of those things were right.

It was the annoying part because, damn, Margaretha just wanted to lock these two into a small room until they confess now.

Fancy outfits? Check

Beautiful full moon? Check

A spacious garden surrounded by pretty flowers and lights? Check

Antonio hidden in the background playing the violin? CHECK

ITS GO TIME

Earlier, Luca sent a letter to your room along with a fabulous suit/dress and told you to come to the garden that Emma prepared.

You were like “o.O wut” but went only anyway

While you were getting ready, Luca was being fussed over by Margaretha and Emma was just bouncing because Yes! Her OTP is finally getting together!

When you two finally meet in the garden

Luca couldn’t even breathe

You just looked so… GORGEOUS🥺

You just stood there awkwardly fidgeting your fingers

Why does the atmosphere feel so… romantic?

Once again, you fall into the routine of dancing

It felt natural at this point to be held by him

But something about this felt more… intimate

Suddenly, you’re much more aware of the tender gaze and touch he’s giving you

Oh god, the feels romantic because it is romantic

When you realized that, you fully turned your face up to his and nearly bonk his forehead because of how near he was

You two stopped dancing

Luca took one of his hands and caressed your cheek

Something about it felt robotic as if it was rehearsed.

“I… I…” You stammered

With his face closer than ever, you can’t focus

Even with his lazy eye (which you never minded in the first place), he looked more handsome than ever

He leaned down to kiss down but as if he broke out of a trance, he abruptly stopped.

“I… I didn’t think it’d actually get this far.”

??? What?

“What’s wrong?” you asked him

He stared at you as if he was surprised, like What do you mean ‘what’s wrong?’ You almost kissed someone as undeserving as me’

“Are-Are-Are you sure I am the, uh, right person. I mean, I’m not the most romantic person, you see, this is all Margaretha’s set up. Don’t-Don’t get it wrong, I still love you so very much but why would you even choose me? I can’t take care of myself that well, I’m always caught up with my machines, my memory isn’t that good--mMF”

To be honest, you didn’t even listen to half of what he said, but what you did hear was his confession: “I still love you so very much”

“And I love you too, Luca”

And just like that, you two kissed under the moonlight, solidifying your feelings for each other.

AJAAAAYYY!!!!!!

You bringing back the OTP Asks is such an unexpected bright spot for me!

And I'm going to ruin the warm hearted vibe by asking if you would be inclined to do 30. An exchange of dirty talk- between PayAsh and Anjali and Aman?🙈

I LOVED the Arnav and Khushi one (pheewww) so I was dying to know how you imagine the dynamics between the other two!

Thankyou ♡♡♡

ANOOOOONNNNNN JIIIIII!

Thank you so much for the love and thank you - bada waala - for participating in the OTP ask. I see you have woken up and chosen spice ;)

30) Write a short exchange of dirty talk between them.

There was something incredibly attractive about a woman who was soft, elegant, motherly and fragrant. Payal was all of that. Akash leaned against the door and watch his wife of seven years put their twins to sleep.

Payal fastened her silk robe, grabbed her phone and headed towards him, completely unaware what her messy hair and slow walk was doing to him. Payal smiled and her heart swelled, Akash had become a better husband ever since they had their kids.

“Pay-”

“Shush, talk softly.” Payal whispered, hoping her sweet, adorable devils didn’t wake up.

“I don’t think I’m the one who has a problem of being loud.” Akash whispered. Payal dropped her phone (thankfully on the carpeted floor) and stared at him in shock.

“What happened?” Akash held her chin and gently shut her mouth with a small nudge.

“A-Akash ji,” Payal stammered, cheeks blooming with heat.

“Ji Payal ji.” He replied, mirth dancing in his eyes. Payal composed herself and looked dead at him in the eye.

“You shouldn’t fly so much considering you couldn’t even think of simply removing your pants on New Year’s Eve.” Akash colored in embarrassment recalling the time he was stuck on the blasted chair.

“Perhaps many more things would’ve come off but you and your glued pants...” Payal chuckled, his hapless face incredibly comical - years later!

“I see, bohot hasi aa rahi hai?” Akash walked towards her.

“No,” Payal tried to stop her laugh. Akash pinned her against the door, her wrists in one hand as he whispered,

“Abhi bhi hasi aa rahi hai?” Payal shivered as his free hand explored the curves he loved.

“Akash, the kids-” Payal gasped.

“Let’s see how quiet you can be.” He grinned when Payal grabbed his collar and dragged him to the bathroom.

Anjali sat by the pool, lighting the last candle. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the soft breeze. A few more hours and it would be New Year. She noticed her beloved Chote and Khushi close dance in a private corner of the living room - blissfully unaware they were visible to anyone passing by.

Anjali smiled and thanked the lord for blessing her brother and Khushi with every imaginable happiness. Her chain of thought and prayers broke with her phone vibrating.

It was a text message from Aman.

“You look beautiful tonight.” Anjali looked around, searching for the handsome, curly haired, broody man she had grown to love. Aman Mathur.

His name sent shivers of pleasure he had given her the night before. There was something exciting about having a secret affair.

There he was, standing on top of the stairs, staring at her with his hawk eyes.

“You take my breath away in more ways than one Mr. Mathur,” Anjali replied.

“You give me too much credit Miss. Raizada, if I remember you are the one who excel at it.” Aman texted, leaning against the railing, wondering if he’d go to hell for romancing his boss’s sister. More likely killed and packaged by Arnav Singh Raizada to hell.

Anjali blushed at the text and leaned against the lounge chair, completely aware of how flattering and invisible her thin saree was under the moonlight. Keeping the eye contact she called him.

“You are too kind.” Anjali whispered.

“You haven’t seen my kindness yet. If you are kind enough, I might just show how kind I can be.” Aman flicker his gaze down, letting Anjali know where all he intended to show his kindness.

“If we were alone, I’d let you know how beautiful you look.” Aman fidgeted with his tie.

“Meet me out in five - use the back door.” Anjali cut the call and looked at the watch - it was 11:55pm. Although she no longer believed the ‘theory’ of seeing a beloved during midnight - she felt the sudden urge to see his face before anyone’s with the New Year.

Aman shot her a grin and walked the other way, playing with the small square box in his pocket.

Hope you liked this anon! I had a lot of fun time imagining how it could be!

Love,

- JWB
