Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

This book is the first novel of the Locked Tomb series. I have been seeing it online for a while now, and if at first I was a bit intimidated because it's part of a series, and usually I prefer stand-alone novels, at the end I gave in. I am so glad I did, I loved every page of this novel, and I cannot wait to continue the series. I can safely say I will reread this book in the future and that this novel has probably got a spot in my list of favourites books.

Gideon The Ninth is famously described as a book about "lesbian necromancers in space", which definitely helped with sparking an interest in me, but it so much more than that. It could be described as an in-between of fantasy and science fiction, mostly because of it's space setting. The story is focused on Gideon who just wants to leave her planet and the ninth house, and Harrowhark, a necromancer of the ninth house who is in need of a cavailer. Despite their history of mutual hatred they answer the call of the Emperor, the immortal ruler of the nine planets of the system of Dominicus. A necromancer from each of the nine planets has been called and is accompained by their cavailer to the First planet, where the story is set. I will not say more about the plot, because to be honest I think that the less you know about this novel the more you will enjoy it. One of the things I liked the most about this book was the writing. It's unexpectedly funny, I found myself laughing out loud more than once, and I was pulled into the story so much by it. I loved it, and I think it's one of the strong points of this book. The characters are also really well done in my opinion because you end up caring about them very quickly, and the side characters as well, are all defined quite well and very intriguing. The story unfolds in a pace that becomes quicker and quicker, and I found myself struggling with putting the book down. One morning I read over 100 pages without even realizing. The more things you find out, the more you need to know, it's just a really addictive book.

Often people who are not really into fantasy and science fiction tend to avoid the genre becuase it can be a bit overwhealming at first. I think this novel is the complete opposite, especially thanks to its writing. I would recommend this book to all those people who would like to dabble into fantasy but feel intimidated by it. This novel has a perfect balance with darker themes (at the end of the say we are talking about a magic system based on necromancy) and a very fun writing style that makes it very approachable. This incredibly well done mix is what made me absolutely fall in love with the book. Overall the narration works amazingly, I could picture each scene as if I were watching a movie with is not always the case with all books I read. If you couldn't tell I really loved this novel and want others to read it, I think I said enough about it, and I cannot wait to continue the series.

I read this for the space opera prompt of the jumbo reading challenge.

*Sit's there awkwardly with a pil of unfishinshed fics*

Definetly Charred Pineaple Margarita's and a Bagel. One of my fluffier fics and has a cute ending imo

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No thankfully!! I could never imagine hating on an individual fic, if you don't like something just leave. Fandom discourse is a whole other bucket of worms.

9. Do you write smut. If so what kind?

I dooooo or rather I tryyyyyyy. It's pretty regualr run of the mill smut, and it's absolutley plot driven. I want to get better and feel less awkward while writing it!!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No i do not. I don't really enjoy cross over personally, borrowing other worlds can be well done thought.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No I haven't thankfully!!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No but that would be so cool if it was!! I'd love to see These Cruel Delights translated into either French or German once it's done, but my written language skills in both languages aren't good enough.

No but i'd be very open to it. It seems like a lot of fun and getting to play off of another authors style would be fascinating.

100% dialogue. I adore writting dialogue, it's so fun and allows you to build relationships and dynamics. I really want to try my hand at a text fic one day because i feel like it's a great way to build a dialogue only fic.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

description and scene building. I feel Like i haven't captured a way to describe a scene in a natural and flowing manner.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think it can be done so long as it's either translated or feels properly placed.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Narnia actually, back on the good ol' fanfiction.net as a wee baby teen. (but we don't talk about that one😗)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

✨ Self Rec Tag Game✨

I was tagged by @ndostairlyrium <3 welp I don't know where to start, I guess I'll mix and match mediums lol

Rules: Share five of your own fanworks (fic, art, etc.). Then, tag five more people to share the things they've made.

Something you absolutely adore

Something that was challenging to create

Something that makes you laugh (or smile, if that fits more comfortably)

Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.)

Something you want other people to see

Something you absolutely adore

I made this ten years ago and for the love of god I swear I could not possibly make it today. Yes it has like million imperfections but I'm still proud of it to this day (strangely lol)

Something that was challenging to create

Well I'd say definitely my shrios long fic, Against the Odds. It took me nearly 10 years to finish it and then I went and edited it and translated it in English. And then I printed it because after all the work I wanted to have it in my hands, literally.

Something that makes you laugh (or smile, if that fits more comfortably)

This fic right here. It's very old and very imperfect (and in my native language) but I remember how much fun I had writing it and it still brings a smile to my lips. Maybe one day I'll edit and translate it so I can post it on Ao3 as well.

Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.)

This one shot. Fun fact, when I wrote it, years and years ago, I was fucking embarrassed and didn't want to post it. But then I posted it anyways and 9 ( N I N E ) people liked it and I was like whoa, really? (Nine likes back then was a pretty good number lol)

Something you want other people to see

Definitely this collab I made with @ndostairlyrium for N7 Day 2022. We worked our asses off and I had the absolute pleasure to embroider her impeccable lines on a pretty big piece of fabric <3 It was days and days of work and I'm proud of what we accomplished.

Thank you so much for tagging me <3 I'm skipping tags because I'm pretty sure everybody 's already done it but if that's not the case consider yourself tagged ;)

#self rec tag game #mass effect #it was hard to find stuff im really proud of #im not used to it but i've tried as a challenge basically

Favorite Self-Rec Fics

@thestalwartheart tagged me for this a bit ago, and I am just now getting around to doing it. Apologies for that. It's been a crazy week. 1. Traitor's Gate - This is actually one of my earlier works in the 00Q fandom, and it tends to fly beneath the radar. It was inspired by a lovely moment I spent looking across The Thames at The Tower of London after seeing Ben Whishaw portray Brutus in Julius Caesar. It's one of my favorite fics because of that memory. 2. 21 Grams - Though it is currently the 8th part in the WaterVerse series, it was originally the fourth one written. It's a close examination of what James is like after a catastrophic tragedy befalls his family. Yes, it does help to read the previous installments. 3. Hello (co-authored with @boffin1710) - Our most recent fic, it focus on grief and the grieving process, and what happens when James comes back to London 15 years after he left with Madeleine Swann and finds a very different Q from the man he knew before. 4. Without Being Told (co-authored with @boffin1710)- Though it is still a WiP, and lonnnnng one, it came along at a time that was such a difficult one for so many people, not just in the fandom, but world wide, and because of that it will always have a special place in my heart. Well, because of that and long-suffering Alec and "catting" Q. It was a toss up for this fourth fic: Without Being Told or Château de la Résurrection. I like them both so much. Boffin and I have made a promise to one another (and consequently to our readers) that it will be finished. 5. Bouncy - Pure, unapologetic crack. Drunk Q. Reallllly drunk Q! Complete with the gif that inspired the fic.

I must now tag 5 other fanwork creators, so I choose: @ato-the-bean, @castillon02, @boffin1710, @notwhatyouthoughtiwas, and @verdigrissoup

Doing this every month! Here is last months, but below we continue with the suggestions from this month (May).

Fic: Relativity (or the Mutable Nature of Time)

Authors: alpha_hydra, geo039

Fandom: Scum Villain Self-Saving System

Pairing; Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan

Rating: General Audiences

Length: 17936

Recommendation: This is listed as "inspired by Howl's Moving Castle," but what this mostly captures the world of inherent magic from the Dianne Wynn Jones novel. I'm not someone who reads a lot of SVSSS fic - I think this is likely the first one mentioned on this rec blog. I love the way that this writer builds a world, the way that they populate it so fully.

I got tagged by @fractualized - and I had to think about this for a while. Sorry for the delay, frac'! I pretty much felt like this all week (lol):

GIF by lostwithoutmyboswell

Ok, so we're gonna start from #5, because I decided to rate these like a loon:

#5:

Birth. Starting off on the disk horse topic of HP fanfic. Listen, regardless of how I feel about the series now (which is messy, to say the least), there's one thing I still can't help but love about it...and it's not only tiny, but half of the reasoning behind it is of my own making. It's Peeves the Poltergeist. I LOVE Peeves. He's my favorite character type - short, temperamental, powerful, 90% humor and fun, inhuman, and neither a Good nor Bad guy. I rarely used to read HP fic back in the day, but I noticed that for such a big fandom, he never had much to his name. (And what I did find was...disappointing for me.) I reread the series in 2015 for the first time in a while and did some Deep Thinking about him. What his limits are. How he's presented. Where he even came from. The bare scraps of canon and Word of God (distasteful) material pushed my buzzing brain to write about him, and eventually churned out this little origin story. I wrote several one-shots surrounding him, but this is my favorite of the bunch. In my eyes, it's simple, short, and effective in storytelling. So I like it. (^_^)

#4:

The Whole Nine Yards. Yes, my current WIP is on the favorite list. It started off as a sex-romp list, because I had too many positions and kinks I wanted John and Bruce to try. It first grew into showing Bruce/John as a couple at home, because my main fics in the Perseverance Project series don't get to show them being all lovey-dovey as much as I'd like. Then I added a few dashes of angst for character building. Then it evolved into including what AtBoM skipped over (for various reasons) - visits at Arkham showing their [growing] love and trust rebuild post-S2, and showing different sides to them.

So what we have now is: "Two guys in love met in an asylum 2.5 years ago, and less than one year after they first met, one keeps coming to visit the other. The visits' subjects are then related to current day, where they finally live together like a real couple, with all it's ups and downs, and sexy results". It's a mouthful, I know. ;D But I think it works!

It's great to explore all these things and essentially back-track a bit versus rewrite any part of AtBoM. Plus, I get to mumble about something that always interests me in this 'verse: Bruce's relationship with his parents. To go from loving them and putting them and their deaths on a pedestal to look to for inspiration to keep going on being Batman, to learning they were the biggest criminals in the city and a key reason while he's even having to be Batman... That's gotta affect how he looks at things. Like, I mentioned Bruce's dislike of his house in AtBoM and TToJ, but here it's full-force. It was a mausoleum for their memory and now it's just a means to an end. He doesn't consider it home, or even rightfully his. But John living there with him makes it a home. Their home. :')

Also, I feel like I'm playing a decorating game and a dress up game with it! Kind of like The Sims, I guess. xD John's room and summer wardrobe are fun to craft as I go. (Don't worry, you'll get to see John's classic outfit at the end. For...reasons.) Plus, soon* you'll see Bruce's bedroom revamped!

#3:

A Ghost Too Far. Disk Horse, part two. Peeves is the one thing I still wistfully sigh over and go "ah, what could have been"...all while knowing that I took the bones of my blorbo and crafted him a full body myself. It's been 7 years since I started writing this particular story, and it clocks in over 230K words. As things are now, I have no idea if I'll ever actually finish it, for a myriad of reasons. So to make a long story short (HA!):

Out of the hundreds of thousands of HP fanfics, and the handful that had Peeves as a character, I found Peeves had no proper big epic romance story of his own and decided to make him one, combining it with one big exploratory setting of How He Is, all set in 2003/2004. His destined romantic partner is an American witch (queue eyeroll), acting as a one-year-only DatDA teacher (queue harder eyeroll), who I can describe in modern** terms as a gender-non-conforming adult punk who is absolutely fascinated with ghosts. She makes it a point to study the castle ghosts, especially Peeves, as poltergeists are super rare and physical ones are apparently unheard of outside of him. She makes a deal with Peeves that he can break just about anything she owns and annoy her all he wants, in exchange for information on how he works. Which I worked out via the aforementioned HP reread and lots of Deep Thinking as literally by feeding off of (aka absorbing) magic from humans, like his "relatives" the Dementor and Boggart. Unlike them, he primarily eats high energy feelings of "anger" "sadness" and "excitement", because he was created in a castle with children who can have powerful feelings of all three very easily. Is this theory of mine presented in canon? Who fucking cares anymore, the author's dead in all senses but literal.

It might not be finished, and it might never be, but writing out this monstrosity of a theory while getting a guy like Peeves to fall in and explore love for the first time holds a special place in my heart. Because not only does Peeves reside permanently in my brain (I'm pretty sure he's the Writing Gremlin who suggests those "this is what goes painfully wrong" scenarios), but so does Dandrane, who I hand-crafted to be Peevesy's romantic partner. I love her. I owe her. Her favorite color is hot pink; because of her, I have gotten over my old feud with the color pink. I wrote her to be 30 while I was then 24; after a while, nearing/turning 30 no longer bothered me. I wrote her to be cool, confident, and a little horrible. Because we all have that bitchy little voice in our head sometimes... The desire to break something without consequences... The need to have our anger recognized rather than ignored or attempted to be placated... Dandrane is a wonderful vessel for these feelings, even after all this time.

She's my cool girl. My tall bean. My silly little flamingo. I want to put her in an enriched enclosure and watch her with a set of binoculars.

#2:

At the Brink of Midnight. My most popular fic is second-place in my heart, at this current hour. (Ha!) For reasons I'm sure you long-time readers already guessed, that I have mentioned time and again in it's author notes: this fic was FUN to make!!!

The Halloween setting! The fresh takes on Scarecrow and Poison Ivy! John recreating Joker! Bruce rescuing John! Bruce finally hugging John! THE CONFESSION SCENE! A rave scene in a graveyard!!! Batman and Joker teaming up to kick ass!!!!!

It's! So! Great!!! It's not too long, but still a big novel-length! Easy to read and get lost in! It presents an original character who carries the possibility of redemption! It hits all those story beats I craved to see for a Season 3! Hell, even now I'd be hard pressed not to expect to see Dr. Crane in any potential sequel we'd get IRL!

Are there things I'd change? Sure. But nothing major. I'm still happy with it, even 4 years later. Maybe part of my love for it is also a desire to be able to pump out 110K words within a few months again...

#1:

The Tolls of Justice!

Is it my most popular fic? Nah, it's #2. But it's my #1. The king of my heart. It took 2-and-a-half years to finish, in no small part because 2020 was a bitch. And despite the frustration at writer's block, despite the silly errors that I still need to go back and fix, and despite the time it took...God, I LOVE it.

Whenever I reread part of it, I get sucked in and read more than I meant to. I know the majority of the little notes I made, but whenever I read one of the tarot hints I can't help but go ehe he he. I read John's breakdown in Arkham, and his transformation into what is his final form of vigilante!Joker, and I still tear up. I see the theme of a writer playing God, of having a defined inescapable ending but proving that choices still matter, and just sit with it in utter delight.

I have many favorite moments: Tiffany and John's day out, the entirety of the Wayne Gala, John and Iman's investigation at the theater, Batman's descent into the Court of Owls' secret lair with Robin... But I have a favorite bit. It's the kind of thing I giggle over while kicking my legs in my seat.

So in Chapter 12, Batman and Joker are having a few moments together before the Big Battle in the high tier of seats above the main floor/"stage area", able to watch the Court of Owls' mock-trial below. In theaters, the highest tier is sometimes known as "the gods" seats.

As my version of the CoO has their whole thing built on "our God wrote down our destiny exactly and the Evil God keeps causing chaos to interfere", and considering the DC multiverses and that Batman and Joker are constantly in them, and as Bats and Jokes are generally simplified as "Order and Chaos"... They're figuratively 'gods' in "the gods" seats watching the show below. ౧(*മ് ധമ്)੭ु⁾⁾

As for WIPs, I only have 2 at the moment. I use OneNote to write all my ideas for it (when I'm actually writing them down):

As you can see, I have sections for The Whole Nine Yards (abbreviated "W9Y" in notes only) and the untitled "BtTTS S5" below. (The "After Hours" is just IRL work notes, when I had to use my personal PC for work in 2020, and "Noir "is literally a list of film noir movies I'm keen to watch. I've been really into them lately!)

Right now S5's notepad only has 2 sections - the Thinkbox and "J Tech". The Thinkbox pages are pretty much the brainstorm dumping ground...but TWNY's is actually laid out rather nicely, like this. I'd post a screenshot, but then this post would...uh, turn nsfw... (; ' o' )

Right now, the only WIP word docs are here, in my "BtTTS - The Perseverance Project" folder:

As for tagging...hm. Um... Since it was frac' who tagged me... I choose @distort-opia, if they're so inclined! (And anyone else who wants to!) Edit: I am a fool who does not reread properly. 😭 Sorry hun, you already did it! So field's wide open!!!

*at the time of this posting, TWNY Chapter 7 is still in progress. It's 2/3rds of the way done! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

**at the time of writing the story in question, the term "gender non-conforming" was not known about as widely as it is now; basically, I knew what it was without knowing what it was called.

Decided to give myself a challenge by a. signing up for the Stiles Shipping Central Ficlet Exchange to b. use 2 weeks to write something that's 2k or less. What an interesting ride that was, since writing something so quickly is not my normal jam, but I did it! This ficlet is for @just-another-busy-fangirl-writes for June's theme of "cooking" and her prompt was : Providing for a mate is important to wolves. Derek, however, hasn't had many opportunities to provide food for Stiles, since he's not the most savvy in the kitchen. Also inspired by @tw-anchor-down's Full Moon Round prompts "flicker" and "skyrocket."

Title: Made From Scratch (<- on AO3) Ship: Sterek (Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale) Rating: Teen WC: 2k Tags: Established Relationship, Alpha Derek Hale, Spark Stiles Stilinski, Culture, Family Feels, Exhaustion, Self-Doubt, Fluff and Angst, Idiots in Love, Romantic Gestures, Cooking, Dinner, Comfort Food, Recipes, Innuendo, Banter, Teasing, Pie, IT Technician Stiles Stilinski, Interior Designer Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski Deserves Nice Things, Derek Hale is a Nice Thing, Werewolf Mates, Mates, Awesome Cora Hale, Sibling Love, POV Derek Hale, Emotional Anchors

Summary: Derek missed Stiles. He hadn’t realized how much…until now. Something had to change. But where did he even start? [Or: That one time Derek makes dinner for Stiles, thanks to inspiration from a family recipe and some nudging from Cora.]

So, when found out I had @just-another-busy-fangirl-writes as a giftee and I saw her prompts, I screamed since they were all so damn good! I actually had to roll dice since I couldn't make up my mind…that was how awesome the prompts were (I may just dip back into the other prompts later...it's tempting but we shall see!). First time writing from Derek's PoV, but gosh, he's such a Fluffywolf and a dummy. At least he figures his stuff out in the end and has Cora to back him up. I didn't even realize cooking would bring out emotional anchoring, so yep. That's threaded in there, I guess. Anyway, I hope you appreciate some Hale family feels and cultural and foodie references too. Enjoy!

Fanfic Self-Rec Challenge

Tagged by @nirikeehan to post five of my own fics, thank you!

So normally I’m kind of terrible at self-promotion, so let this be a moment of growth for me lol. Be warned I write almost exclusively in the Dragon Age fandom!

While Time Remains: Currently 10 chapters, WIP, 30k+ words. Cullen and Theresa begin their new lives after the Inquisition. Started as a simple domestic series, meant to be lots of fluff, some smut, and maybe some action. Slowly has become a heaping load of angst and hurt/comfort, because apparently I cannot help myself lmao. This is the fic that made me fall back in love with writing this year, and so far I’m immensely proud of how it’s turning out.

Morningside: One-shot, smut, 4,227 words. Cullen/Theresa. This was one of those rare fics that sprung forth almost fully formed from my brain onto the page. I just... *sigh*... love writing them so much. It is smut, so mind the tags.

That’s the Last Time: One-shot, 350 word drabble. Very short scene of a poor, tired, papa!Cullen, with some very light Halloween vibes. Stinkin’ cute!

Hidden Gems: One-shot, complete, 4,654 words. This is actually written as part of an OC swap exchange, and I wrote it for Ash Hawke and Fen’revas Lavellan, both OCs belonging to @rakshadow. I was so honored to have a chance to write for them both, and so thrilled with the result!

Seeker, It’s Cold Outside: One-shot, complete, 5,242 words. Varric/Cassandra, but just a sweet little fluff fic that shamelessly makes use of the “trapped in a cave during a snowstorm” trope. I adore this pairing, and for whatever reason Varric’s POV fits me like a glove. Unfortunately I couldn’t think of five whole fics from this current year that I’ve written and want to share, so I’m cheating a little on this last one lol.

Tagging five friends: @cullenvhenan, @fiadhaisteach, @kantrips, @ar-lath-ma-cully, and @wabart. Have a happy new year!

you can see his expressive eyes go “oh? oh.” in five second flat

the way you’re looking up at him? he’s twitching in his pants, trying his hardest to pay attention to chan’s room

definitely says something like: “alright! let’s get onto the next song, yeah?” while furiously turning up the volume to drown out his soft huffs of breath, plump lips parted to exhale deeply

the way he utterly shudders when you lick from his shaft all the way up to his leaking head has the dreamiest sigh falling from your mouth

the way you’re testing his patience makes him want to fuck you silly 🙈🙈

plays it off as if he was adjusting in his chair, meek smile giving away none of your naughtiness

once you start taking him into your mouth though, he reaches a hand to your hair, forcing you to down him

squeezes his eyes shut from the feeling of your throat swallowing him alongside the toe-curling whine you whimpered in response

most likely pretended to yawn to conceal his fucked-out face and the obscene sound of you gagging on him, babydoll eyes welling with tears

omg the way he looks down at you after that ?admiring your smudged mascara and the drool coating your lips and chin ?? pls eat me sir

“unfortunately, that’ll be the last song for this live, thank you Stay for joining me today..” he says, nonchalantly thumbing at your bottom lip to wipe the residue sitting there

legs spread and cock flushed against his abdomen, you come to realize rather quickly that you got yourself into something dangerous…

MINHO :

he’d prob be doing a live in the meeting room when you arrive, gazing at you pushing chairs out of the way to make him think you’re planning to sit down

till you settle between his legs and the realization dawns

has the most attractive, challenging stare ever watching you go to town

tbh minho is fucking terrifying with his self control in and outside of the bedroom

like he’d be able to answer questions and act completely normal despite his dick being halfway down your throat

pretends to laugh at a comment when instead he reached a hand under and toyed with your clit, gathering your wetness on two fingers to smear on the side of your lips

what he was laughing at? how pathetic you sounded mewling and dripping with need as if you weren’t the one who decided to give him head rn

would def end the live a tad bit early, finally succumbing to the handjob you provided where he came all over your face with the sluttiest moan

10/10 would bend you over and fuck you on the table after

10/10 would keep your legs out of business for a good five to six days (i stand by my claim)

CHANGBIN :

binnie is so fucking transparent idek if he could hide it

but like, he makes weird noises anyways so tbh stay probably wouldn’t bat an eye

sooo needy

gently grabs your chin while you kitty lick his mushroom tip and gives you most pleading stare

if he could’ve telepathically communicated, he would definitely been begging

funny considering how he basically bred you into the mattress the night before , right?

you resort to kissing his swollen cock, ensuring he’s watching when you collect his beading precum on a finger, bringing it up to your lips

to say he held back a moan doesn’t even cut it, poor baby might’ve bit his tongue off atp from your adorable eye contact and the mere image alone

gets frantic enough he blasts gods menu full volume and “suddenly” gets a text from Hyunjin saying he “needs to go”

a.k.a needs to blow

dude absolutely explodes

his moans are the cutest by far >>>

cums all over your face muttering soft “please please please” over and over while his fat cock basically ropes messy strings

he swore he’s never came harder in his life

andddd that’s how you got introduced to edging changbin!!!

jk, it just fueled your obsession with it further ;)

HYUNJIN :

prob the cutest of them all when you give him head under the table

he just feels so good and loved from your attention and the pleasure

has the dreamiest of smiles the entire time despite the music being obnoxiously loud to hide the sound

stays love this live bc of how cute he looked the entire time

lots conspired that he was drunk or smthn bc of how smiley he was, cheeks dusted pink

pretended to drop something so he could groan under the table, thigh twitching and abs tightening as he approached his orgasm

definitely grabs your head before he came, brows slightly knit and lips parted as he met your eyes

so fucking sweet after he cums, petting your head and running a light hand on your cheek where his cum smears

pops his thumb in your mouth, softly wiping your bottom lip of his essence

he’s literally delighted i cannot make this up

totally nonchalant apart from groaning under the table which he hid from view

expect either the softest or hardest sex afterwards

like you’re going to either be carried because your legs are out of commission or because he’s feeling romantic :((

HAN :

.. stay are prob getting an equally good treat too

and no they don’t know what was going on, they just know how from a certain timestamp in his most recent live his voice got a whole lot more attractive

expect a sudden raspy pitch, clicking his tongue casually as if his partner wasn’t spoiling him

on any other day he’d be stupidly whiny, crying from the pleasure you provided

today, however, he just let himself dissolve in the ecstasy, breathing in the fresh air on cloud 9

there were some speculations from stay watching, but it only got as far as that

scary enough, he doesn’t make a sound, casually carrying out conversation and answering questions like nothing

that is until you get impatient, pressing hot kisses all over and speeding up the movement of your hand as you fist him, pretty eyes fixating on his face

aha. you see him slightly wince, bidding farewell quickly with a few over-exaggerated poses and blown kisses

stifles a groan as he approached his high, tracing the corner of your lips as he grumbles an excessively attractive:

“now stick your tongue out, ‘don’t what you missing a drop.”

then proceeds to cum all over your lips n mouth, thumbing away some of his residue there

“you’re so messy, bunny, ‘have to teach you some manners, hm?”

FELIX :

he gets so cocky

and it’s one of the hottest things on the planet

watches you through half-lidded eyes as you unbutton his jeans, taking him into your mouth

i feel like no matter how hard you try to rile him up, it just makes him cockier and gives him a visible ego boost

like, not a ‘thinking with my dick only’ type of ego boost, more of a ‘why tf aren’t you reacting rn, please fuck me already at this point’ sort of ego boost

this man most likely turn off the music just to play it risky, forcing you down on his dick when you get too loud

reads comments as you literally deep throat him, eyes tearing up with how he keeps bumping the back of your throat

it’s insane

lifts a brow daringly as he reads a particular comment and you swear you would’ve moaned so fucking loud if it weren’t for him cruelly shoving fingers into your mouth as you fisted him with a hand

breathily sighs as you work faster, blinking a bit slower and hesitating with his answers—a telltale sign he’s close

definitely ends the live earlier, quickly taking off your bottoms to pull you onto his lap and paint your cunt white

voices the most guttural groan, adams apple bobbing as he fills you so full of him

he’s convinced there is absolutely nothing he loves more than stuffing your pussy, nothing

SEUNGMIN :

i will sit in the grave believing seungmin is one of the most god-teir men alive when it comes to head

another rbf (resting bitch face) king btw!!

meanest but also nicest ?? i can’t explain take this how you want

prob sings a song while you suck him off i cannot😭😭

you’d most likely be more affected than he is (or you just can’t tell), bc you’ll be a moaning mess from how nonchalantly he’s already shoved two fingers inside your cunt, guiding your head into a steady rhythm with a spare hand

smiles every time you mewl on his cock, hungrily watching your hips stutter while his fingers curl and rub your pussy sooo good

lmao i bet he hits a high note when you cream(and when he cums too), drowning out the desperate cries you sob from his lap

ends the live without even a trace of what happened, pulling your hair roughly so you meet his eyes, tears freely rolling down your cheeks

“you wanted this so don’t act like you didn’t. open.” he instructs, and you obediently open your mouth for him, showing him your tongue and lips painted with his cum

“swallow.”

his face when you swallow oml he loves seeing his baby behave

mumbles quiet “good girl”’s when you take his fingers coated in your juices into your mouth

honestly.. i could see him buzzing your puffy clit w a bullet vibrator afterwards while you sit on his dick, cooing as you fall apart on top of him, telling you it’s a “reward” while you’re overstimulated and sensitive beyond belief

JEONGIN :

kind of like hyunjin with his unpredictability, he’s either stone cold or an innocent baby

today, however, he was definitely needy, looking adorably confused when you sauntered through the doorway

gasps when you slip under the desk, eyes turning into round saucers as you carefully rid him of his pants then boxers

has to pause on multiple occasions to pull himself together, occasionally turning his head away from the camera to express the overwhelming feeling of your tongue

leaks a quiet, oh so quiet whine in the midst of laughing at a comment

poor bub gets an army of comments asking if he’s feeling sick from how flushed he is

cutie can’t admit how amazing you make him feel 🤭

ends the live abruptly, literally only thinking about cumming in your mouth

desperate AF when he starts mumbling, pulling you off of him to stick out your tongue as he frantically fists his dick, beads of pre-cum decorating the swollen tip

“oh god oh god oh god— cumming, ‘gonna cum, in your mouth? baby please please wanna cum in your mouth— yeah just like that, good girl- fuck-“ is just an example of his barely intelligible moaning

trust that he came hard, strings of apologies falling off his pink lips at the mess he made of your face

oml if you keep sucking him off afterwards?? overstimulated innie is the cutest thing ever

expect lots of begging and neediness 😍
