can i request the reader has an emotionally abusive parent and astarion finds out and protects and comforts her?
TW - Emotional abuse, gaslighting, domestic violence
Recommended Song: The Archer - Adam Melchor
After settling down in Baldur's Gate again, you and Astarion have been slowly trying to fit back into the city. It's hard though, after such a long adventure, after trauma and perilous feats, to just be a person. You've reached out to a couple of old friends, trying your best to explain everything without revealing too much, especially without Astarion jokingly baring his fangs and saying "Be warned, I bite." The dumbass seems to think reverse psychology works on everyone.
So word slowly gets out that you're back in town. People that you knew forever ago suddenly stop by the house, and each time Astarion has to double-check that you know them, paranoid about people coming into the home you've built for the two of you. You don't blame him one bit.
It's a Summer afternoon, and you've just come in from tending your little backyard garden. Astarion calls out to you as you come in the back door.
"Darling, there's yet another person here to see you."
He gets a little overwhelmed by all these people wanting to come see you, but he tries his best to be supportive.
"Alright, coming."
You take off your gloves and hang them up by the door, making your way to the front of the house.
"Who is it?"
"Not sure, she wouldn't say."
He opens the door, and a shiver runs down your spine. Your mother.
"Oh, it's so good to see you Tav."
She lunges for an embrace before you can step away, your body is in shock. 'Why is she here?' 'How did she find out?' 'Who could've possibly told her you were back in town?'
"And who is this handsome man?"
Astarion realizes you're a little stunned, and he takes over the conversation for you.
"Astarion, and who might you be?"
"Well I'm Tav's mother of course! I'm sure she's told you all about me." He words are lined with spite, poison dripping out of her mouth. Your vampiric lover senses the tension, and yet you quickly switch tones.
"Come on in mother, we can show you around."
A fake smile, a facade. He's taught you well how to hide your intent, especially in peril.
"Yes, of course."
His voice trails off, wondering what you're up to. You simply start a tour of the house, acting like you would with any old friend.
"So obviously here's the little living space. I'd like to have some more plants in here, but somebody has to have a place to store all his books."
You try to shoot him a playful look, but when you meet eyes both of you know it's wrong. You chuckle a little too late, almost robotically.
"Ah yes, Tav here used to read all the time as a little one. Read all those silly little adventure books, even wanted to go on one."
"Yes, but-"
"BUT, instead we kept our lovely little offspring around to help with the business for a while, convinced Tav it was best to help the family."
Something triggered in Astarion's brain, the way she said family.
"Yes, of course mother. It was the right thing to do after all."
He realizes you never spoke about your parents, or about any of your family members for that matter. You've always spoken so freely, without a care in the world. Suddenly you were stiff, conforming to a conversation that you had no control over.
"Well, everyone must leave the nest eventually."
He smiles, trying to relieve the tension, still analyzing your movements.
"Well, my child here just up and disappeared a couple years back, left me and my husband in shambles."
Clearly she didn't know about the nautiloid, or about any of your adventures.
"And yet suddenly here you are, a house, a lovely man, and you feel no need to tell your parents you're home? After all, we could always use the help."
"Well, Astarion and I have been very busy mother, finishing up the house, settling in."
"You know I could've helped with all that."
"We've been managing fine."
The conversation starts to get aggressive. Astarion goes into that protective stance of his, standing tall next to you and wrapping his arm around you.
"Yes, if we ever need help we'll certainly reach out."
There's a slight hiss at the end of his sentence, and you nudge him in the side, trying to get him to keep his composure.
"No need to get all defensive. Tav and I, we understand each other. I just worry, my child being out in the wild, adventuring through forests with all those miserable monsters."
"Would've been better being away from the worst of them."
You mutter under your breath. It's frustrating, this woman coming back into your life, trying to convince you to come back and 'help' her out with the business. You did almost all the work, under her hand. And when you said you wanted to leave and go out on a grand quest...
"You know what, you need to leave."
You finally speak up.
"Excuse me?"
She's shocked.
"Yeah, before there's another accident. Would hate if I broke my leg again."
Astarion's grip tenses.
"That was a sad coincidence and you know it Tav."
"No, you pulled the ladder out from under me while I was climbing to fix something on the roof, and I fell and shattered my leg, and this just so happened to be the day after I told you I was going to leave the city."
"I was trying to stabilize it after I saw it was falling. Don't blame your poor mother."
"And what about when you refused to have a cleric come see me, and I was on bed rest for months on end, while you did nothing."
Your mother goes to speak again, but Astarion cuts her off.
"As my lovely partner here has already said, I think you need to leave, now."
He unwraps himself from you, stepping towards the defensive woman.
"There's no way you believe Tav's idiotic lies. Don't be a fool."
"You're the fool, a fool who's about to lose their head if you don't turn around and leave this house."
She goes to say something else, watching as he goes to grab his trusty dagger. Instead she simply huffs, and storms out the door. Astarion slams it behind her.
"You'll come back Tav, you'll see reason!"
He quickly deadbolts the door and comes back over to you, and you finally break down. That woman, she terrorized you your entire childhood, and some mind flayer ship took you away from her, thankfully.
"You... you never told me about your mother."
"Yeah, I didn't think it really compared to all of your shit."
You wipe at your eyes.
"Now, we don't need to compare apples and oranges my love. It's abuse, all the same, all evil."
He holds you for a while. You're still nervous you'll hear banging on the door, but hopefully Astarion scared her off well enough.
"She'll never be back here, not if I have something to say about it. Here, come sit."
You make your way to the sofa, and he just holds you for a while. It's silent, except for his breathing and a few soft sobs from your sorrows.
"You know, I don't mean to pry, and you don't have to answer if you don't wish to... but did she really let you suffer like that? With your leg just, shattered?"
"Mhm. I couldn't walk for months. I still don't think it ever healed properly. I begged for her to get someone to come look at it, and she just kept saying 'no Tav, they'll just charge us for some bogus potions' and that was that."
He wraps his arms around you tighter than ever. He's lost in thought, going between thoughts of your pains and his own.
"We're so lucky."
You're a little surprised. It's not often he's such an optimist, especially at times like this.
"What do you mean?"
"I think we understand each other better than anyone. Your griefs echo mine, it just makes sense. Not to say I'm happy you went through that... but we're just lucky, lucky to have each other."
You plant a gentle kiss on his hand.
"I agree darling. Thank you, for always being here for me."
"Only because I know you'd do the same for me, my love."
The two of you stay cuddled there for a long time, not really saying or thinking anything. Just two people, sitting in the air of each other's freedom. Just two lovers who were the first to be loved by one another.

🎨even closer: kim sunoo
a vampires bleeding series: five / seven
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: sunoo x afab!reader word count: 5.5k
Tumblr media
synopsis: in hopes of the boys figuring out why dorian needed the witch and dhampir, the seven vampires and two humans travel into another large city, going on about their daily lives until you come along, offering them a chance at finding their lost mates.
genre: strangers to lovers, vampire!sunoo, elf!reader, nurse!reader fluff.
warnings: mentions of blood, swearing, cute sassy sunshine ♡
☾ jungwon(1) | jay(2) | jake(3) | sunghoon(4) | sunoo(5) | niki(6) | heeseung(7) ☽
Tumblr media
Niki drops his school backpack onto the floor as he stands in the doorway of the house, the face of disbelief towards his six hyungs. 
“We are moving again?” 
Sunoo thins his lips into a line, crossing his arms and taking a step back away from his hyungs in case Niki decides to start throwing things. The maknae looked PISSED. 
Heeseung sighed, “Unfortunately…yes.” 
Archer slaps his hands on the table, “And what if Dorian comes back and my sister is with him?!”
Jake tucked his lips between his teeth, looking away from his mate's brother, his eyes getting glossy. 
Sunghoon chips in, “What if he has __ with him too! This land has all her coven's secrets, if he comes back with the girls we NEED to be here!” 
Archer agreed with Sunghoon, “And Jake, how can you agree to this when he took YOUR MATE!! my TWIN SISTER!!” 
Jake shook his head, “I don’t agree with this! I want to be here just as much as you two!” He snapped. 
The three of them started bickering, causing Jay to tense his jaw and start yelling, “HEY HEY HEY! That’s enough!!” 
The room fell silent. Everyone’s eyes are on Jay. 
“We are leaving because it’s no longer safe here!” Jay snapped, “Dorian is clearly planning something, and if there’s something with __’s coven here, he’s going to exploit that.” 
Sunghoon balled his hands into fists at his side, locking his jaw into place. 
Jay continued, “We have to protect who we can, and we have to be smart ab-“ 
Sunghoon interrupted, “About what we have to protect?! What about what I have to protect!!” 
Jungwon stepped in, “Listen we all have-“
“No!” Sunghoon yelled, pointing two fingers at Jay and Jungwon, “You two have your mates! Neither of you has to deal with that painful tug of them not being at your side like Jake and myself! Try to imagine how it must feel if Dorian took __ and __ !!!” 
“Sunghoon that’s enough!” Heeseung snapped, “We are a fucking family for crying out loud. We feel __ and __ missing presences too. We are trying here, Sunghoon, but we need to get information, and sitting here waiting for Dorian isn’t the right move!” 
Jake places a hand on his best friend’s shoulder. Sunghoon’s legs gave out on him, falling to the floor, “I’m sorry…” 
The room once again fell silent. Jay knelt down beside Sunghoon, pulling him into a hug as Sunghoon cried out for his lost love. 
Sunoo looked away, seeing his brothers hurt wasn’t easy. 
“We leave tomorrow,” Jungwon softly spoke, “Archer will be our eyes and ears if anything happens here.”
“Where are we going?” Niki asked. 
“Into another city,” Heeseung said, “We are going to split back up into living in different apartments, to keep our safety. We also bought a loft at another apartment complex that we will go to if needed for our safety as well.” 
Jungwon continued after Heeseung, “We won't discuss where the apartments are here, we believe there might be someone following us, so from now on we won’t discuss anything more until we get into the city, understood?” 
Everyone nodded.
“Good,” Jungwon nodded too, “Everyone get some sleep, we leave early.” 
Niki raised his hand, “Please tell me I don’t have to attend another school.” 
“You start the day after we get into the city.” Jay said, “Go to bed.” 
Sunoo walked down the hospital halls, eyes roaming until he found the correct room. 
Without knocking, Sunoo slipped inside the room, “Hyung! I have your food!~” he sang as he set the plastic bag on the desk. 
Jay looked up at him, eyebrow raised. 
Sunoo continued giving off his big sunshine smile, as Jay slowly opened the bag, “What are you doing here?” 
Sunoo pouted, “Can I not bring my older brother food?” 
Jay pulled out the bags of blood, glaring at Sunoo, “You carried these with you?! Just out in the open!?” 
Sunoo rolled his eyes and leaned over, connecting his elbows to the desk and face in his hands. 
“No, I snuck into the closet supply where you keep them and slipped them into a convenience store bag.” 
Jay sighed, slumping down into his chair, “Did you really?” 
Sunoo smiled, “No, I brought them from home.” 
All Jay could do was roll his eyes, sliding the bag into his desk drawer. 
“Why are you actually here?” 
“Was curious how this new hospital was treating you and Heeseung.” 
“It’s fine, we’ve both been very busy.” 
Suno scoffed, “Yeah, I know. Family dinners haven’t been the same since leaving that farmhouse.” 
Jay groaned, dropping his head into his hands, “It’s been almost two weeks and I feel like I haven’t properly slept.” 
Sunoo’s eyes soften, he knows Jay and Heeseung have been working their asses off since coming into this city. All seven of them haven’t fully been together in two weeks. There was always someone missing. 
“Hyung, maybe you need to request some time off and spend some time with the pack. Relax with __ a bit more.” 
Jay shook his head, sitting up straight and scrolling through files on his computer, “I can’t rest until we’ve caught Dorian, get the girls back, and put an end to all this.” 
All Sunoo could do was nod, he knew Jay wasn’t going to relax one bit. 
“Where is __ at anyways?” Sunoo asked, seeing it weird that Jay’s mate wasn’t at his side. 
“At our apartment,” Jay sighed, “Jungwon and __ are spending the day with her since she can’t be here at the hospital every day.” 
Sunoo nodded, the staff would definitely find it weird if she followed Jay around everywhere he went. Plus Jay is a doctor, she can’t be around his patients either. 
“How is Niki doing?” Jay asked in between writing something on his notepad and looking back at the files. 
“School wise?” Sunoo shrugged, “He’s hating it.” 
“Well, that’s to be expected. Little bro has graduated high school more times than the rest of us.” 
Sunoo nodded, “For sure. But he joined the soccer team, so he’s been keeping busy for the most part. His grades are high as well, no need to worry.” 
“Good, good.” Jay wrote something down.
“Can you not be a doctor for twenty minutes while I am here?” 
Jay glared at him, “I still have to fulfill my working duties. We still need money after all.” 
Sunoo rolled his eyes, knowing the older was obviously right, but choosing to be sassy anyway. 
“What about Sunghoon and Jake?” Jay asked, “How are they… coping?” 
Sunoo released a sigh, “Just as good as anyone would think. They don’t leave their apartment often. It’s mostly Niki and myself going to theirs and making sure they are drinking properly.” 
Jay slowly nodded. There wasn’t much to say about Sunghoon and Jake. Their mates were taken from them and are completely powerless on the whole matter. Nothing can be done until a way is found to stop Dorian. 
Sunoo felt sorry for his hyungs, watching them slowly tear themselves apart was destroying him too. Sunoo obviously felt that the presence of their mates missing, they were all in a pack after all, and everyone was connected. But Sunoo could only imagine how terribly more it was affecting them than the others. 
“How much longer are you going to be here? I have a surgery scheduled in thirty minutes.”
Sunoo smiled brightly, “Until you leave for the surgery. 
You quickly waved your hands over your ears, watching as they went from a point to being round like a normal human's ears. 
You took a deep breath in, holding it for a few seconds before slowly releasing it. 
You were nervous. It was your first official day as a nurse. 
It wasn’t the fact that you were now fully a certified nurse that had your nerves in a bunch. You are a magical elf who is still trying to learn to control your powers. 
You splashed water on your face and took another deep breath in. 
You decided becoming a nurse would be a better fit for you than anything else. You could help put your powers to good use, just…can’t get caught. You found medicine very interesting anyway, and want to help people. This way is the best option to go with. 
You double-checked both ears once more in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom, completely running into someone the minute you opened the door. 
“Oh, I am so sorry!” You quickly said, realizing who was in front of you. More embarrassment washing over you, “Oh my god, I am so sorry Dr. Lee!” 
Heeseung smiled sweetly, rubbing his arm where the door hit him. 
“Don’t worry about it! It didn’t hurt at all! And please, just call me Heeseung.” 
You slowly nodded, feeling your face heat up. 
“You’re the nurse on duty for myself and Dr. Park today, correct?”
You nodded again, “It’s my first day out of just clinical so I am a bit nervous.” 
Heeseung gave you a soft smile, “Well, from the two weeks I’ve known you, you are doing great!” 
You felt your face flush once more and your heart raced. Why was he so handsome? 
“I am actually heading over to Dr. Park’s office right now, care to follow?” 
You nodded once again, following behind him. 
You asked him how well he was adjusting to the hospital, mostly since he’s still a fairly new doctor here. 
Which is why you think you connected so quickly with him. You both were new (well, he wasn’t new to being a doctor but new to the area) and still trying to find your footing here. 
Heeseung opened the door to Dr. Park’s office and let you walk in first. 
To your surprise, there was someone else here too. 
He sat on the corner of the desk, slightly kicking his legs back and forth. 
He was smiling so brightly at Dr. Park, that his smile could be confused with the sun. 
He slowly turned his head and looked at you. 
The moment you both locked eyes, something in your heart pulled. 
Sunoo felt it too. The moment he locked eyes with you, his heart felt like it was going to cut his chest from the inside out and jump into your arms. 
“Oh, Sunoo! What are you doing here?” Heeseung asked, smiling at him. Walking closer, “Where is Niki?” Heeseung wrapped an arm around Sunoo’s neck, earning another bright smile to fall onto his lips. 
“School, he has soccer practice.” Sunoo continued swinging his feet, causing Jay to snap. 
“Hey hey! Get off my desk!” 
You chuckled softly, earning a gaze from all three men. 
“I am so sorry for laughing…” You quickly apologize, “I just never saw Dr. Park snap like that before.” 
“Yeah, Dr. Park,” Sunoo teased, “Why are you snapping at me like that?” 
Jay tensed his jaw, “Please get off my desk before I beat your ass.” He said through his teeth. 
Sunoo gave a wink and hopped off the desk. 
“Also, Y/N,” Jay said, looking at you, “Please just call me Jay. No need for formalities.” 
You nodded, kinda happy to be on that close of a level with them to go by first names. 
The three boys continued talking. You studied the three of them, listening as Jay complains about the one named Niki playing soccer and how Heeseung said he approved of it. 
The one named Sunoo you assumed was also one of their siblings. 
You’ve heard Heeseung talk about how Jay is his brother and there are five others. And from the way they are all speaking to each other, Sunoo has to be one of the five. 
Your eyes kept landing back on Sunoo, your heart doing multiple flips every time he caught you looking at him. 
Sunoo could practically hear how fast your heart was racing. It was taking everything in him to not completely crumble down at your feet. 
Sunoo couldn’t help but admire how beautiful you are. How cute your shy mannerisms were to him. How you would blush when he looked your way. It was way too adorable and he couldn’t handle it. 
But he also noticed something was…off. There was an aura that radiated off you. He just couldn’t put his finger on what it could be. 
“Okay. Sunoo,” Jay said checking his watch, “We have that surgery now. Go home.” 
Sunoo pouted but nodded, “Fineeeeee.” 
You stood off to the side, letting Heeseung and Jay walk out first, and then Sunoo. 
But to your surprise he stopped in front of you, leaning slightly down to be at eye level with you. 
Your face blushed at how close he was. You took a small step back, “what?” you asked, letting out a soft nervous giggle, “Is there something on my face? In my hair?” 
You used the chance to cup your hands over your ears, making sure they weren’t in a point and sticking out between the strands of your hair. 
Sunoo smiled at you, “Just admiring how cute you are.” 
Sunoo skipped away after saying that, leaving you as an actual puddle on the floor. 
“Oh, and it was Y/N, right?” He asked, turning around to face you again. 
You nodded, “And it was Sunoo, right?” you asked, copying his words. 
He nodded, “Mhmm. I’ll see you around, Y/N.” 
It’s been four days since you’ve last seen him. 
You found yourself always stopping by Jay’s and Heeseung’s office, peeking in to see if the ball of sunshine was there. 
You always sighed at the sight of him not being there, your heart feeling a sadness you can’t describe. 
Two more days passed before you finally saw him again. 
You sat in Heeseung’s office, looking over the X-rays from a patient who had broken their leg. 
Heeseung pointed out the area around the break with his pen, talking about the best course of action to help heal the bones. 
With your powers, you could heal this patient easily, but you knew you couldn’t. If anyone found out what you were…
The sound of the door opening jumped you out of your thoughts, seeing Sunoo skipping inside the room. 
You felt your heart jump for joy at seeing his bright smile. The pull feeling becomes stronger. 
“Heeseung Hyung~” Sunoo sang, “And hello miss Y/N.” 
You smiled softly, giving him a shy wave. 
You saw a face peek from behind Sunoo, his blond hair slightly covering his eyes as he looked around the room with his hands in his hoodie pocket. 
“Sunoo, and Niki,” Heeseung welcomed them, “What brings you two here?” 
“He picked me up from soccer practice and drugged me here,” Niki mumbled, “I am ready to go home.” 
Sunoo rolled his eyes, “It was an important stop.” 
Niki crossed his arms, “Was it?” 
Heeseung sighed, “Please don’t argue in my office, go bother Jay if that’s what you came to do.” 
Sunoo’s eyes perked up, “I am actually here for Y/N.” 
You looked up at him in surprise, “M-me?” 
Sunoo nodded, getting back into your personal space, his face inches away from yours, “How would you like to go on a date with me tonight?” 
Sunoo fluffed his hair in the mirror, making sure it looked perfect. Double checking all the piercings in his ears were all in place and rebrushed his teeth. 
Niki button smashed the Nintendo Switch controller in his hands at the video game he was playing, slightly turning around behind him for a second, seeing Sunoo freshening himself up. 
“Hyung,” Niki called out, turning his attention back to the television, “You're really serious about going on this date aren’t you?” 
Sunoo grabbed his bag and pulled it onto his shoulder, “Yes, what’s wrong with me going on a date?” 
Niki chuckled, “Nothing. It’s cute.” 
Sunoo nodded, “Obviously.” 
Niki paused the game, shifting himself on the couch to face Sunoo, “But I do think you’re going for another reason.” 
Sunoo raised a brow, grabbing a blood bag and quickly sipping it down, “And that is?”
Niki smiled softly, “To figure out what she is.” 
Sunoo smirked at the younger, “Funny you think I don’t already know.” 
You looked down at your phone, checking to make sure the directions Sunoo texted you were correct, and sure enough they were. 
The directions led you to a park. You walk past this park multiple times a day going to and from the hospital and your apartment but never once did you stop to actually come here. 
It was beautiful. Filled with gorgeous trees and families walking with their children and dogs. 
You searched for Sunoo until you found him sitting on a bench. 
He had a drawing book in his hands, the pencil moving across the page. 
You smiled, curious to see what he was drawing. 
You slowly walked up behind him, peeking over his shoulder to see what he was drawing. 
He was drawing the pond that sat a few yards in front of you both. Adding in the trees surrounding the area, and the family that was having a picnic beside the pond. 
It was a beautiful drawing. 
“I know you’re there, Y/N.” 
Your heart stopped as you slightly jumped hearing his voice. 
Sunoo hung his head back, giving you a smile, “Ready for our date?” 
You nodded, watching as he stood up and slipped the pencil and drawing book into his bag. 
“Let’s go~”
Sunoo reached his hand out to you, slowly placing your hand in his and following behind him. 
Sunoo and you walked around the park. Talking about how both your days have been. How working at the hospital was. 
You discovered Sunoo draws in his free time and sells them which helps pay for the apartment he shares with Niki. 
You watched as Sunoo talked about his family, how happy and brightly he smiled as he spoke. Sunoo from what you could tell was the sassy one in the family, but he dearly loves them with his whole heart. 
And that’s something that made you feel even more attracted to him. 
Sunoo might have looked calm on the outside, but on the inside, he felt his heart was going to burst. Your hand fit so perfectly with his and all he wanted to do was skip and swing your arms back and forth together. 
He might have multiple reasons to bring you here today, but he genuinely wanted to spend time with you. Sunoo tried so hard to mask how much he has thought about you since the meeting. Niki even noticed how hard he was trying to look presentable earlier. 
Sunoo didn’t quite understand this feeling he was feeling yet. All he knew was it was fate to have met you. 
“You must be really close with all your brothers.” You said, smiling wide at him, “It’s really cute.” 
Sunoo chuckled, “Well, we aren’t actually brothers.” Sunoo released his hand from yours to skip in front of you, walking backward as you both talked. 
“I kinda figured,” you shoved your hands into the pockets of your jacket, the cool breeze making them cold, “You all have different last names after all.” 
Sunoo smiles, “Nonetheless, they are still my family. And I wouldn’t trade them for anything.” 
Your pulled tugged even tighter to him, and you swore you saw it on his face that he felt that same tug. 
Sunoo took a deep breath and then turned around, his back now facing you. 
The sun finally set, leaving the park dark except for the few street lamps. 
Sunoo stopped walking, “It’s sure dark out here.” 
You nodded, glancing around the park, “You would think they’d add more lampposts out here.”
“Why don’t you set a light for us, hmm?” 
Your heart stopped as you stood frozen. You were scared to look at him, scared to even move. Did you hear him correctly? Did he figure you out? If so then how?
You slowly turned your head, seeing Sunoo was still facing away from you. 
“You don’t have to be afraid, Y/N.” Sunoo turned to you, “Just a small light will be fine.” 
You stared at his cocoa eyes, trying to read them and what he could possibly be thinking. 
Lifting your hand, you snap your fingers, and a small orb of light appears at your fingertips, illuminating the area around you both. 
Sunoo smiled, “That’s my girl. You don’t have to hide your ears either, I bet they look adorable.”
“How did you figure it out?” you softly whispered, removing the illusion at your ears, then slowly growing to their normal point.
“It wasn’t hard to figure out that you were an elf, Y/N. You have that aura. I could sense it the moment we met.” 
You narrowed your eyes at him, the only way he could have sensed what you were was if he too was an elf or…something else.
“What are you?” you asked, your eyes not breaking contact with him. 
Sunoo closed his eyes and chuckled, slowly opening his eyes. 
You stare at the glowing crimson, and at the sharp point of his fangs as he smiles, his tongue slowly licking his top lip. 
“Vampire…” you whispered, walking closer to him. 
Sunoo looked down at you, “You aren’t afraid?” he teased, his fangs slowly retracting and eyes going back to the beautiful cocoa you loved. 
You shook your head, “No I’m not afraid.”
With your free hand you touched his face, tracing your fingers over his jawline. 
Sunoo leaned his face into your hand, planting a soft kiss on your palm, “Good, I don’t know what I would have done if you were afraid of me.” 
Sunoo being a vampire made all too well sense. 
“It kinda makes sense,” you giggled, “You’re in a pack. Heeseung and Jay have more knowledge about being doctors than everyone else in that hospital. The reason why Jay fussed about the youngest being in soccer.” 
Sunoo nodded, “We are a little crazy family.” 
Your heart pulled towards him more, feeling as if a string was being wrapped around the two of you. 
Your knowledge of vampires wasn't the greatest, but you knew enough to get by. Elves and vampires weren’t exactly enemies, but they weren’t exactly friends either. You grew up with your family teaching you about all the different creatures in the world. You were fascinated by them all and how different each and everyone was, mostly how vampires and werewolves are pack hunters and they find their mates.  
And now that you have a vampire standing in front of you, looking at you like you’ve put the stars in the sky yourself.
You can’t help but wonder if this pull was that mate feeling that they have. 
“Does anyone in your pack have mates?” you felt bold asking that question, mostly wondering if Sunoo already had one. You didn’t know how you’d handle the news if he did.
Sunoo sighed, taking your hand into his, he intertwined your fingers with him, taking a deep breath in. 
“Yeah, four of them do.” You could see the sadness on his face, “Jungwon, Jay, Sunghoon, and Jake do.” 
You couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved, but still sad at how he felt. 
“Why do you say that with such sadness? I am an elf you know, I can sense feelings.” 
Sunoo giggled at your words, making eye contact with you again, “Two of the mates are missing.”
You found a park bench to sit down on, listening as Sunoo told you the events that led him and his pack to this city. Your heart broke more and more as you listened. 
The events that have happened to Sunoo and his pack weren’t fair. They wanted to live normal lives, just as the rest of us mythical creatures. But they’ve had it so hard. and it broke your heart. 
It broke your heart even more seeing how Sunoo was also struggling with the loss of his brother's mates. They are all connected as one big pack, you can only imagine the pain Sunghoon and Jake felt. 
You reached for his hands, running your thumbs over the tops. 
“I am so sorry for what Dorian has done to you and your family.” 
Sunoo squeezed your fingers, “It’s no one’s fault, shit happens. We came to this city to find more information and to hide so we could protect the pack, but I can’t help but feel so powerless. All I do is make art and sell it to help keep a somewhat normal life for my family. Sunghoon and Jake are sinking without __ and __. I don’t want my family to hurt anymore.” 
You tuck your lips between your teeth, debating if you should say the next words or not. But when Sunoo looked up at you with glossy eyes, the words slipped from your lips. 
“I can attempt to use tracking magic to help you find their mates and make your family whole again.” 
Sunoo led you to his car, opened the door for you, and waited until you got in to close it and use his vampire speed to get in on the other side. 
Sunoo dialed Heeseung’s number quickly, putting the phone to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Hyung,” Sunoo quickly said, his voice shaking. 
“Sunoo?? What’s wrong?” 
“I need you to gather everyone, I have Y/N with me so I won’t arrive as quickly, but gather everyone at the loft. This is important.”
Heeseung agreed and the line went dead. 
Sunoo dropped his phone into the cup holder, his other hand gripping the steering wheel as he drove quickly to the apartment loft. 
You grabbed his free hand, giving it a soft squeeze, using your calming magic to relax him. 
Sunoo slouched in the driver's seat, releasing a sigh, “I am so happy you’re here with me right now, and not just because you helped relax me as if I just smoked and got high.” 
You laughed at his sassy nature, “It’s the least I could do to help this situation.” 
“Can you really use some kind of tracking magic to get our members back?” He softly asked.
You nodded, “I am still learning to keep my powers under control, back at home we didn’t have to control our powers, but now that elves have migrated into the public eye to live normal lives, keeping my powers controlled is still a learning process.” 
Sunoo kissed the back of your hand, “I have full faith in you.” 
You pulled up at the apartment complex, Sunoo helping you out of the car and inside, taking an elevator to the top floor. 
Sunoo took your hand in his as you walked to the door of his pack’s loft. 
“Don’t be too intimidated by them, Sunghoon will probably have some words, the other might tease, but just be sassy to them like I am and you’ll be fine.” 
You giggled at him and how brave he was being with all the chaos surrounding him. 
Sunoo reached for the door handle and turned it, the door slowly opening. 
You walked in behind him, your hand tightly attached to his still. 
Eight pairs of eyes stared at you the moment you walked in. 
You looked at each of them, feeling their emotions flooding into you. 
Jungwon and Jay held their mates in their arms, while the others sat separately around the room. Jake and Sunghoon stood at the windows, leaning against them. 
Sunghoon looked out the window, but quickly back at you. 
“No! Absolutely not!” Sunghoon snapped. 
Sunoo groaned, “I knew you were going to say some shit.” 
“We aren’t fucking around with elves!” Sunghoon stood from the window.
“Why?” You stepped in front of Sunoo, him trying to pull you back behind him, “Because we were naturally born immortal, whereas you had to be bitten on your neck to keep yourself from dying to achieve immortality?” you sassed, not letting Sunghoon’s attitude get to you, “Plus I heard you mated with a witch, why can’t another magic goer join this circus of chaos?” 
Oh, Sunoo was so in love with you right now. It took everything in him to not fall to the floor and worship the ground you walked on along with laughing his lungs out at you teasing Sunghoon. 
Sunghoon’s face blushed a bright red, causing the other males to laugh. 
“Damn,” Niki said, “She got you GOOD.” 
“Okay, settle down now,” Jungwon said, looking between everyone. You could tell Jungwon was the leader of this pack the minute you walked in, “Sunoo, tell us why we needed to meet.” 
Sunoo pulled you close to him, “Y/N can use tracking magic.”
Jay’s eyes widened, “She’s going to help us find __ and __.” 
Jake quickly rushed to you, taking your hand in his, “Can you really do it? Help us find where my mate is?” 
Sunoo slapped Jake’s hands off yours, giving him a glare. 
You nodded, looking between both Jake and Sunghoon, “I will need something of theirs that you too have, and I can trace where they are. But I’ll also need a map.” 
“It will also give us a location where Dorian is.” Heeseung spoke up, “Thank you, Y/N, for doing this for us.” 
You nodded. You looked back around at the vampires and two humans in front of you. Each of them felt the pain of their pack. You felt it and could see it in their eyes. 
Jay pulled a map out, setting it on the kitchen table. 
Jake paced around the kitchen on the phone, before hanging up his call, “Archer is on the way here.” 
Jake handed you a piece of clothing from his mate, while Sunghoon handed you a bracelet from his mate. 
The moment the items were in your hands, you could feel the love and pain that ran through them. The dhampir struggles by losing her first mate but then meets her true mate, just to be taken from him. The witch's bracelet is filled with the sorrow of her coven being killed and being the only lone survivor, but finding a new family with Sunghoon. The love the four of them shared was beautiful, and it brought tears to your eyes. 
“Okay twinkle toes,” Sunghoon scoffed, “Do your thing.” 
You focused on the items in your hands, pulling all the energy into them, searching for their scent. 
Your eyes closed as you pictured where they were, your finger immediately touched the map on the table, pinpointing where they were.
The images of the surrounding area filled your mind. 
You opened your eyes, noticing everyone staring at the area on the map where your finger pointed. 
“You did it…” Sunoo said. 
Heeseung quickly circled the area with a Sharpie. 
You dropped the items onto the table, taking a deep breath in and out. 
Sunoo grabbed your hand, pulling you towards him. 
He wrapped his arms tightly around you, “You did it. We can find the girls and Dorian.”
You shook your head, “All I did was give a general area.” 
Sunoo placed his hands on the sides of your face, “We are even closer, and it’s all because of you.” 
You smiled at him, “I really did it.” 
Sunoo kissed your lips, his strawberry chapstick filled your senses. You leaned more into him, breathing him completely in. 
Sunoo couldn’t fight the string of fate much longer. He’s known since you two met that there was something pulling the two of you together, and it was fate. 
You felt Sunoo’s emotions, feeling him give into the string. You sensed the string floating around you both, waiting for you to accept your fate. 
An elf and vampire together? You loved the idea of it. 
You gave into the string of fate, accepting every ounce of love Sunoo had to offer. 
The others felt it too, the bond that you now share with each of them. 
“Oh great, just what we need,” Sunghoon rolled his eyes, “Another magic user.” 
You pulled away from Sunoo’s lips, sticking your tongue out at Sunghoon, “We are a family now, get over it.” 
Sunghoon half smiled, giving a small nod, “I’ll accept it only because you found where my witch is.” 
“You sure you can’t stay the night?” Sunoo pouted as he stood in front of your apartment door, refusing to let you inside.
You giggled at your soulmate, “Yes! I have a twelve-hour shift to do tomorrow, and if I stay with you I won’t get any sleep.” 
Sunoo pouted even more, “Fine, but I am going to bring you lunch!” 
You kissed his cheek, “I would love it if you brought me lunch.” 
Sunoo moved from the door, letting you unlock the door and walk inside.
Before you could close the door, Sunoo slipped inside, pulling you to his body, and planting his lips onto yours. 
He couldn’t get enough of you. Sunoo dreamed of what it would feel like to have this connection with his soulmate. How it would feel to hold them close and kiss them. To give all the love he had to them. 
And he finally found you. 
“Goodnight, my sweetness,” Sunoo whispered in between kisses, slowly releasing you from his arms and slipping out the door.

Flowers Blooming
by Ilona22
M, 35k, Wangxian
Part of the MXTX Epic Journeys Big Bang
Summary: At the coast, there is a city where they say the most beautiful of flowers live. Among them, one shines for many reasons. Wei Ying is orphaned when he is four years old. Unlike in another world, he does not have to wait years to be found by his father’s martial brother. Instead, he is found by a woman looking for a child to love. From that, he grows up differently. Some things are changed. Other matters are not influenced by the absence of one child. And yet others were written in the stars long ago. Kay's comments: A lovely canon-divergence story where Wei Wuxian gets adopted by commeners before Jiang Fengmian can find him. He still manages to grow into a formidable cultivator, but he also gains other talenst and a whole family! And when the Sunshot Campaign breaks out, he also meets Lan Wangji and of course, they fall in love. Really enjoyed how this story breathed life into the world outside of the gentry sects and expanded on the world-building of MDZS. With beautiful fanart by @krynnibear Excerpt: “We owe gratitude to that cultivator then. Do we know his name?” Lan Qiren asked. “No, they described him as very young, about Wangji’s age. Dressed in grey and a colorful underlayer, archer’s bracers,” she reported. Lan Wangji was interested, there were not many cultivators his age who could have successfully taken on all those ghouls. And from what Lan Lin reported, he had not taken money from the women in the teahouse, either. He sounded kind, and very skilled with talisman craft. It might just have been the way the tale was passed on, but some of those described did not sound like the standard talismans. “There have been reports of a cultivator of this description in several places,” Lan Mingchen remarked, telling them what he knew. There was no discernible pattern to the cultivator’s movements. Odd, as most rogue cultivators moved along trade roads, or in a fixed area. But all the tales added to the picture of a young man willing to help even without a big reward. Lan Wangji hoped he would be able to met him one day.
pov alternating, canon divergence, wei wuxian isn't adopted by the jiangs, rogue cultivator wei wuxian, inventor wei wuxian, genius wei wuxian, different first meeting, sunshot campaign, slow burn, falling in love, coming of age, getting to knew each other, strangers to lovers, families of choice, happy ending, cultivation sect politics, supportive lan xichen, supportive lan qiren, fanart

bi-widower-dads' February Fic Rec: AUs
Thank you to everyone who submitted recs for us! We've done some sorting and collating, and we've got two posts for you: AUs and Canon-'verse - and a whole load of excellent fic for you to get stuck into while we wait for Barduil Month in April! So without further ado, here are the AUs for you, with a little bit about why our recommenders love them...
Header image by mod @piyo-13!
(a note about tags and trigger warnings: tags are selected from those on AO3 as being those that best describe the story for the purposes of this event; trigger warnings are supplied by the recommenders and may not be comprehensive - your mileage may vary. We've tried our best to include Tumblr handles wherever we can, but if we've missed yours out and you want it included, just let us know!)
One-shots
In the Wake of the Second Horseman by EldritchMage / @eldritchmage | M | 2272 words | tags: angst with a happy ending, implied/referenced drug use, post-traumatic stress disorder - PTSD, implied warfare/violence | trigger warnings: mention of drug use, mention of violence in a war zone, PTSD, nightmares
Summary: When addiction threatens to consume Thran, his lover Bard is desperate to help - but Thran isn't. Yet in ending his relationship with Bard, Thran savages both of them, not just himself. Four years later, Thran's about to discover what remains from his cruelty. What he finds is a surprise - and humbling. What do you love about this fic? Even when things fall apart, redemption is possible if you give it half a chance. Out of tragedy comes hope and a chance for a better life.
love remains by likethenight / @nocompromise-noregrets | G | 11,093 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, grief/mourning, Thranduil never sailed west, mythical beings & creatures, folklore, alternate universe - reincarnation | trigger warnings: none
Summary: There is a legend in Dale, that somewhere deep in the forest that borders the city lives the forest king, an ancient being with a special care for archers, and for all things that grow. Bard, camping in the woods after his finals, finds a place that isn't on any maps and begins to dream of something - someone - familiar; and years later, after the heaviest loss he has ever had to bear, he goes back out there again, hoping to find something that might help him recover. What do you love about this fic? Absolutely beautiful fic, such a touching story and excellent writing!
Petrichor by b_ofdale_archive / @beesinspades | G | 14,598 words | tags: alternate universe - reincarnation, alternate universe - modern setting, alternate universe - bookstore, books and cats | trigger warnings: slight mention of past life character death
Summary: It's been six thousand years since Thranduil last laid eyes on his husband - Bard. The world has changed and the great Elvenking with it, lingering in the shadows of Men; as hope for a miracle festers within his heart that grows weaker with every passing day, the only thing keeping him going is a promise he made, many moons ago. What do you love about this fic? I love its overall theme, and the thought that Thranduil will meet Bard again. A lovely and poetically written reincarnation AU, well worth the read!
Multi-chapters: in progress
Love in a time of change by myeaglesong / @myeaglesong | M | 22,840 words | tags: eventual relationships, eventual romance, elf/human relationships, fluff, romance, slow burn, alternate universe - regency, oblivious Bard | trigger warnings: none
Summary: For the longest time, Thranduil has wanted to find a good match for his son, Legolas, to marry. His search leads him to consider Arwen for Legolas to marry, but what if Legolas has already got his eye set on another match that Thranduil may not approve of? What will will happen when Legolas finds out about his father's intentions to marry him off? What would happen when the question of if Thranduil were to marry again was to come up, who could he marry? What do you love about this fic? I am not usually one for Regency AUs but this one is so adorable, and between the kids and the dads there is plenty of potential for shenanigans and some tentative romance! I'm really looking forward to seeing how events unfold…
The Moth Effect by BiSquared / @scary-grace and Dogblessya / @dogblessyoutascha | M | 35,658 words | tags: mothman is real, mothman Thranduil, mothbaby Legolas, park ranger Bard, non-graphic violence, but there is still gore so you've been warned, twilight references | trigger warnings: mothman lore, gore
Summary: (in chaos theory) the phenomenon whereby a mothman moving into your place of employment can have a large effect on the rest of your life. What do you love about this fic? I love the Supernatural/Horror element to it and Park Ranger Bard trying to make sense of all the really weird s**t that's happening around him. Lovely bits have to be the introduction of Mothman Thranduil and adorable Mothbaby Legolas. But best of all is that Mothman Thranduil isn't the weirdest thing happening in Olympic National Park 👀….
Vena Amoris by Patch / @patchoffeathers and Piyo13 / @piyo-13 | M | 72,843 words | tags: crossover with Dracula Untold, alternate universe - vampires, Bard is Dracula, canon-typical violence, slow build, alternate universe - some people live/not everybody dies | trigger warnings: none
Summary: Bard has a secret, one that stems from far to the east, in lands far forgotten and times long past. It's one that no one must know—but times are changing for the people living on the lake. Even for those who, technically, aren't alive. What do you love about this fic? The author does such a great job at merging Luke Evans' two characters here (Bard and Dracula) while still keeping Bard distinctly canon-shaped. Because Dracula!Bard is an immortal, there's a unique comparison of mythological immortalities and the relative costs of them that reflects back onto the plot.
show a little faith, there's magic in the night by BiSquared / @scary-grace | M | 342,922 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, slow burn, music industry AU, indie musician Bard, opera singer turned pop star Thranduil | trigger warnings: none
Summary: Bard Bowman's not the type to give up on his dreams easily, but when DJ Smaug's dirty tricks leave his family band stranded in Denver with a forfeit fee the size of Mt. Everest crashing down on their heads, there's really nothing to do but drink about it. The last thing Bard expects is to meet a beautiful stranger in a similar predicament -- and the last thing either of them expects is a rescue. Luckily for them, Thorin Oakenshield's feeling heroic this evening. What do you love about this fic? I am such a sucker for the rock scene (I've spent my entire adult life kicking about there) and it's not often I see it portrayed so realistically in fic (or indeed in original fiction). The characters are all beautifully drawn, the humour frequently makes me chuckle, and Bard going head over heels while trying to tell himself he isn't, it's not happening, not really, because he can't believe his luck, makes my heart go all funny.
Multi-chapters: complete
Followthrough by ofplanet_earth / @ofplanet-earth | M | 26,737 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, alternate universe - military, alternate universe - spies & secret agents, snipers, sniper Bard, military captain Thorin, mob boss Smaug, revenge, character death | trigger warnings: violence
Summary: Bard and his children have been living in a little cabin on the edge of Laketown for five years, hiding from Bard's dangerous past. But when that past comes back to haunt them, Bard will have to team up with Thorin and his company to face down his demons, confront the man who killed his wife, and fight to save the people he loves. What do you love about this fic? Great spies/military AU with Bard and the gang!
The grey sea and the long black land by Black_knight100 and Blueberryrock / @blueberryrock | T | 29,702 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, alternate universe - cruise ship, first kiss, angst, fluff, angst with a happy ending, eventual romance | trigger warnings: quite angst filled but has an eventual happy ending
Summary: Bard Bowman is thirty-seven years old, widowed and heckled, and he's had enough. If his children want a cruise trip with their lottery money, then so they will have. Bard will only have to work twice as hard to take them out of their little corner of the world. It has been three years. Three years of him raging, and sobbing, and grieving. Three years in which he has turned away from his children. Three years to reach this ship, to put together whatever snapped that day. And the first morning, Thranduil wakes up late. It is going fabulously. Or, in which the two meet on a ship, and there are ups and downs. What do you love about this fic? Thranduil and Bard getting together in the end
Modern Love by Shampain / @abner-krill | M | 65,267 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, alternate universe - coffee shops and cafés, alternate universe - human | trigger warnings: none
Summary: Bard is a down on his luck single father working a thankless job as a courier, eternally worrying over when his daughter is going to start sneaking out of the house with boys. As if that wasn't bad enough, his assignments delivering files to Greenleaf Acquisitions puts him in contact with Thranduil, a stern businessman whose only champion is his assistant, Tauriel. And finally, to make matters worse, his friendship with Bilbo Baggins sends everything else into a tailspin. The summer is just beginning, and it's going to be a weird one. What do you love about this fic? Lovely, lighthearted modern AU that is a delight to read!
hands; eyes; voice by bishkebab / @bishkebab | T | 70,163 words | tags: slow burn, alternate universe, accidental cottagecore, governess/single dad romance but make it gay, autistic Thranduil, Thranduil and Bard both have physical disabilities | trigger warnings: mention of autism, fire accident, PTSD
Summary: An isolated life in a too-small cottage was never what Bard dreamed of for his children – especially sharp, scholarly Tauriel and sensitive, insightful Tilda. But school is a distant dream for a large family living off the land – at least until a storm and the subsequent house fire bring a former scholar to their doorstep. Wealthy recluse Thranduil could never have anticipated leaving his family's manor for a shack in the woods and a single father with five – FIVE – children who can barely write ten words between them. But when disaster strikes, he is left with little choice – and maybe close quarters with a handsome widower won't be so bad after all... What do you love about this fic? This is a rare work of art in which Bard is the loveliest dad ever, stubborn, strong and gentle and Thranduil is an introverted autistic lonely lad. The author writes their story in a very poetical way and family is the main protagonist of the story, as is their small cosy cottage. I do love the gentle feeling this story conveys from the start. It feels like a warm cup of tea after a very rainy day and each word is carefully written. This story deserves to be read and reread and rereread. Slowly. (With a nice cup of tea. &lt;;3)
Those Colours We Share by b_ofdale / @beesinspades | M | 84,709 words | tags: alternate universe - soulmates, alternate universe - post-war, set in 1956, Bard owns an animal shelter, slow burn, fluff and angst, disabled character, asexual characters, period-typical homophobia | trigger warnings: none
Summary: Had anyone told them, Thranduil Oropherion and Bard Bowman would never have believed they would see the world painted in colours again. Until that fateful day of December 1956, when one little boy entered a former soldier's animal shelter. What do you love about this fic? I'm a sucker for two lonely people who find each other and forge a new life together.
Beast by Nuredhel / @nuredhel | M | 132,354 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, all humans, Bard is a cop, Thranduil is a profiler, mentions of suicide, slow burn, crime and investigation, bonding while working, romance, past problems | trigger warnings: gore, violence, abuse, human trafficing, child abuse, murder, suicide
Summary: Bard Bowman is the leader of a team of investigators trying to solve a very complicated case, when the serial killer they are chasing proves to have a far longer history than they expected the feds call in a profiler. Bard has never believed he could feel attraction again but now he does, how can he express what he feels when they are chasing a beast which seems to defy the very laws of nature? Can Thran feel the same way? The road to love can be bumpy, in special when it is surrounded by murders. What do you love about this fic? It is very exciting, very romantic and intense.
seeking a friend for the end of the world by BiSquared / @scary-grace | M | 238,799 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, apocalypse, road trips, family issues and family bonding, opera singer Thranduil, Bard and Thranduil are good parents who are having a bad year, or years | trigger warnings: disease-apocalyptic setting, zombies, major character death, medical injections
Summary: Between dealing with his boss, getting over his ex-wife, and keeping his kids fed and clothed, Bard has more than enough on his plate. He doesn't have time to worry about the frightening rumors coming out of New York City or the lunatic in his service bay who tells him to take his kids and run. But when he stops to help a mysterious stranger on the side of the road, he gets a lot more than he bargained for -- a sexuality crisis, a partner in crime, and maybe, just maybe, a chance for all of them to make it out of this mess alive. What do you love about this fic? Incredible worldbuilding and an edge-of-your-seat plotline! The bonds between all the characters are just beautiful, and it has great worldbuilding. The action is also really well written, and it does tension/dramatics right.
In The Woods Somewhere by Ias / @hubristicfool | M | 249,074 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, vampires, vampire Thranduil, mechanic Bard, blood drinking, slow burn, dark, angst, violence, horror, psychological horror, unhealthy relationships | trigger warnings: vampires, blood, angst, sexual content, violence
Summary: These country roads were rarely traveled by any that didn't need to. When Thranduil pulled up beside the man's stopped vehicle and offered him a smile and a ride, there was no one to see the man's grateful expression as he slipped into Thranduil's car. No one to stand by and call out a warning as the taillights were swallowed by the dark branches of the trees. What do you love about this fic? The writing is excellent
Angels and crooks by Nuredhel / @nuredhel | M | 259,072 words | tags: sequel to Beast, alternate universe - modern setting, all humans, Bard is a cop, Thranduil is a profiler, solving crime, family, violence, drug abuse, everyday life at a police station | trigger warnings: violence, abuse, dark stuff, murder, blood, evil, deviousness
Summary: Bard and Thran are getting used to their new life as a married couple, and their new responsibilities as a family. But they still have their jobs and my oh my does that bring some interesting situations and challenges into their existence. Having both experience and special gifts does help, but at times reality can be more bizarre than anyone can expect. What do you love about this fic? It is a good story with very interesting twists and many great characters
When The Pale Swan Flies by EldritchMage / @eldritchmage | E | 290,646 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, circus performer Thranduil, cabinet maker Bard, Thranduil's name is Luka, Bard's name is Taliesin (which is Welsh for Bard), slow burn, Thranduil needs rescuing and Bard is happy to do it | trigger warnings: sexual abuse mentioned, underage sex mentioned, prostitution/pimping mentioned
Summary: A year ago, when a carpenter met a caged bird, his good intentions left despair in their wake. Is he a fool to hope he can atone for his missteps? What do you love about this fic? It's got circus acts! It's got two sad men learning to trust and love again! It's got an epic visit to a grocery store! It's got bad guys getting their just desserts, and everyone else getting delicious Spanish teacake! It's got a cute little boy who finds his voice while making puppets! There's a sad short-story prequel to set the stage, as well! And who doesn't like a parade?
Season of Light and Shadow by EldritchMage / @eldritchmage | E | 914,703 words | tags: alternate universe - modern setting, Thranduil is a ballet dancer, Bard is a building super and welder (and artist), slow burn, NSFW, blended family | trigger warnings: momentary violence, momentary mention of drug use, adult bedroom games
Summary: It's the week before Thanksgiving. In an apartment building somewhere in the middle of New York City, the mood is far from festive. Upstairs in Apartment 5B, an injured ballet dancer is having a rotten day. He's lost his job, he's had to walk home in the snow and rain, getting thoroughly soaked and frozen in the process, and the radiators in his rooms are as cold as the New York City streets. He limps downstairs to vent his fury on the night super who didn't fix the heat. Downstairs in Apartment 2A, the night super is also having a rotten day. No money, three overtired and cranky children, a slapdash boss, and not nearly enough sleep. And now someone is pounding on the door like a SWAT team. When an angel knocks on the door of a saint, neither finds what he expects. But with a little luck, the upcoming holiday season might give them both something to treasure. What do you love about this fic? It's two lonely men forging a blended family! It's got ballet! It's got home renovation! It's got four cutie children! It's got cooking! It's got an artist regaining the wherewithal to make his art! It's got lots of cool side characters (ten points to everyone who spots all the Dwarves :-). It's got lots of steamy love! It's even got 3 short follow-up stories! What's not to like?????? This was my introduction to the world of modern AUs with these two, and oh, it's SO GOOD. The kids are brilliant and so realistically drawn, and the dads are - well, they're incredibly hot. XD And the development of the relationship between them is beautifully done, as they go head-over-heels for each other while trying to take things slowly for the sake of the kids…oh, it's great. :D

I can stop think Matt with booklover reader I love books ( it end with us, ugly love) and Matt give me so much vibe miles archer from ugly love
so I’m soooo adding the booklover x matt to my list (I promise I see all requests and will get to them)
but I’ve not read ugly love. I’ve tried two of her books now, and there’s just something about them I don’t vibe with.
but! here’s some minor thoughts.
matt with a book lover is *chefs kiss*.
because he finds it quite soothing when they turn the pages. enjoying the feel of the paper in between his when he takes it off them when they’ve fallen asleep.
they are able to stop his bleeding one night because they’ve read it somewhere. he’s not entirely sure it’s factual, but it does work.
matt rather loves listening to them when they read, as they get lost so much in a book their heart does a little flicker here and there as they’re reading.
he also loves how cuddly they get when the book takes a drastic turn.
because they spend so much time in other worlds, they’re more compassionate, so when he tells them about his secret, all they do is sit, mulling it over. Before making him promise not to lie again.
most of all, he loves listening to them talk about the plot. often smirking as they get higher pitched from excitement.
the day he takes them — as a gift — to choose whatever book they like from a bookstore in the city, he’s not sure anything can wipe off his smile. the way their heart practically skips out of their chest, their arms flinging around his neck.
