Twilight x reader

Fluff maybe angst (this week really tired me out)

Can you do a fic where the reader and twilight (and maybe others your pick) go drinking and drunken shenanigans ensue.

Thanks :)

Hammered, sloshed if you will

Pairing: Twilight x reader

Rating: T

Summary: You and Twilight go out and get drunk, get into a huge fight over literally nothing, and end up comforting each other the day after.

Warnings: alcohol, drunk behavior, Reader thinks Twilight cheats (He Does NOT. He would NEVER.)

Other: reader is assumed to be of legal drinking age.

-------

You can't remember who's idea it was, but now you're out at a tavern. The Hyrule you're in is somewhere in the early two thousands if all the leopard print, ultra low-rise jeans, and skinny scarfs are any indication.

Twilight is punching the air to a pit bull song as he happily drinks his long Island iced tea.

You've got whatever drink you like.

You and Twilight are both about five drinks in, and two rounds of shots have already passed.

"You should let me teach you lime dancin', honey." Twilight says with a grin.

"You should learn more modern line dancing." You counter, taking a sip of your own drink.

"What does that mean?" Twilight asks, eyes narrowing.

"You could learn some dances too? I could teach you!" You smile, unaware in the shift of mood.

"You think I can't learn?" Twilight is apparently too drunk to hear what you said.

You don't think that at all!

"Of course you can learn. I can teach you!" You're still smiling. You'd love to teach him!

"I can totally learn!" Twilight shouts, "I'll go dance right now!"

"Okay?" You manage, confused and a little annoyed.

Twilight downs the rest of his drink and goes to join the crowd that's line dancing.

You have to give it to him, he picks it up quickly. Though there's a smiling woman who's maybe a little too friendly. She's helping him too.

Does he think she's better than you?

He does.

You turn back to your drink, deciding it's better not to watch.

But then you've gone through another drink and can't find Twilight anywhere.

He's probably off kissing that stupid woman.

Obviously you should drink some more. That'll make you feel better.

When the bartender cuts you off, you decide it's probably time to go home. Even if Twilight is kissing someone else you want him to not get lost.

So, you go and track him down.

Twilight is still talking to the woman from earlier. Something about horse care? He probably heard you coming over and changed topics.

(He did not. This woman is a Lesbian and just bad at proper social interactions. Also Twilight would never cheat on anyone.)

"We're leaving. Whenever you're done." You say with a sigh, annoyed at the whole thing.

"You never believe in my dancing!" Twilight says as he whirls around.

"What are you talking about? I love when you dance!"

"You fo not!"

"I totally do!"

"You don't believe in anything!"

"You're being ridiculous!"

"Just leave without me."

"No. You're stupid and wrong, and you're irritating, but I'm not leaving you somewhere you can't get home from."

"Just go away!"

"Link." You say evenly, trying really hard to remember you're probably super drunk and shouldn't run your mouth more than you have.

"I don't care. Just let me be."

"I will, as soon as we're at the hotel."

Twilight looks like he might keep arguing. But he seems to think better of it. "Whatever. Just leave me alone when we're there."

The taxi ride back to the hotel is stifling. You're annoyed as all hell, and Twilight won't stop glaring out the window. You'd swear he has upset upsetness rolling off him in waves.

After paying the driver and giving a tip, ypu amd Twilight March through the hotel halls.

You got to your room, and straight to the shower. You think you deserve one.

Unfortunately after your shower you find a pouting Twilight.

"Time said I gotta sleep here." Twilight says woth a frown.

"Whatever." You shrug him off, pulling on pajamas.

"Whatever?"

"I just want to sleep." You say as you flop onto bed.

"Then we understand eachother."

"Link, shut the fuck up. I just wanna sleep." You groan. You hadn't meant to sound so rude, but it still happened. You'll apologize later.

-------

Morning comes with chirping birds and blinding sun. Your head pounds in time to what can only be an eclectic drumset played by a monkey.

Great.

You need to figure out how much you drank last night. You want to male sure you don't do it again.

You throw your arm out and accidentally smack Twilight's nose.

"Ow." Twilight groans, "What'd I do?"

"Nothing. Sorry." You squint as you roll over to look at him.

Twilight looks about as bad as you feel. He must have also had too much.

"What happened last night?"

"Dunno. I think we got in a fight or something."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"I dunno, just am. Words are hard.... but I wanna say sorry for my part."

"Aw, Link, it's okay." You smile as you set your head on his chest.

Twilight throws one arm across his eyes. His other arm loops around your shoulders. "Let's go back to sleep."

"Okay."

Twilight's breathing is still slow and steady. But he isn't asleep quite yet.

"I'm sorry too." You admit, "I think I was mean last night."

"It's okay. I'm not mad at you, (Y/n). Just- don't let me drink that much ever again."

"I won't."

[hypnoneghoul]

Can you give advice on storywriting? I love the idea of it but I cant do it properly?

Struggling with wording and like how to make each character their own/how to make a well written character??

Aandd how do I know what information to keep and what to tell? I always rush to tell things and I struggle with "show dont tell"

And pacing lmao😭 I dont know how to pace my stories well

You seem to be really good and I read your book (I litterally.. tried to learn polish for the sake of reading it lmao;;; its so good) and a few of your stories too.. any tips would be appreciated

first of all, oh my gosh, I'm literally honoured hshshsh you tried to read my book??? gonna break down right here pleaseee thank you😭

okay I'll try to get to it as well as I can, I hope it'll help at least a bit. you can always message me or send more asks <3 under the cut because its long

making the character be good, have a personality that's actually theirs is probably the hardest thing in writing. it's a bit easier in fanfiction than original work because you see them acting on stage and you see the headcanons so you have a base for it, let's say. but it's still hard. id say there are three ways of approaching this. going off vibes, projection and careful scheming and planning.

going off vibes would be just "okay he does on stage that, so i think he'd act like that off stage", pretty simple, going mostly with your guts yk

projection can go a long way. two ways actually. you can write a character that similar to you or you can write a character that is something you're lacking. of course you can mix it all, but thats the best i can describe it. my rain is me, my dew is me, my swiss and mountain is what i wish i had. caeril is me, neithan is me, etc.

careful scheming and planning is also a good way but if done wrong the character is not gonna feel real, its gonna be dry and just fake. what i mean by that is finding a character sheet with physical characteristics as well as personality traits and thinking it all over, carefully planning what you want the character to be. i myself don't do that, it feels too... artificial for me. if used correctly, tho, it can really slay because then the character can be very well thought over

you gotta try different things, u dont have to write a big 10k word fic right away. you can if you want of course but id say start with one shots, make them your character sheets. do some character study, create them and then put them into a biger picture. it takes time and practice, as evereything

the thing with show dont tell is also a thing of practice. theres no rules as to what info you should keep and what is unneccessary. show dont tell doesnt mean just show, never tell. telling isn't wrong, but writing should put the reader's brain to work, they should be seeing what you saw when you were writing. the best way to do this is basing on the senses. when writing a sentence and you doubt if its necessarry, ask yourself "okay if i was a reader what does this sentence give me? does it give me anything? what senses does it influence? does it help me paint the scene in my brain?". gotta go with feeling and overtime youlll find the perfect balance between showing and telling descriptions and that'll be your style. i make my works pretty descriptive and easy to imagine for the readers because i started with tolkien. i aspired to be like him which is of course impossible but slivers of his writing style can be seen in mine. one of those slivers is rich descriptive imagery

pacing the stories is also really hard. main rule is to not make it boring, but how to achieve it? lmao its not that easy fr. if you do an oneshot you can keep a standard introduction-main part-conclusion structure. first paint the situation, paint the place where this is happening. main part should be the longest, this is what IS your work, the most important thing. conclusion can be slow and short. tell the reader how the main part of the text changed something from the introduction, just nicely close it out. of course you dont have to, we love open endings but this is the easiest thing, id say

with bigger fics, multichapter, go wild. introduction is important but you dont have to put in on the beginning. you can start mysteriously and explain what the fuck its about in te 3rd chapter or even at the very end. build some tension but also give the reader a moment to breathe. the longer the text the more possibilieties you have but overdoing it is not good either, plan it, sketch a storyline. as everything, its a thing of practice and finding your style

and doing all that never forget about the technical bits. good story that has a terrible formatting automatically becomes a worse story because its not nice to look at. learn the proper ways to format a dialogue, work on punctuation, dont forget to capitalize (says me without a single capitalized letter and the worst grammar punctuation and typos in this whole post lmao im trying to type it in quickly sorry). dont be afraid of clicking enter, make space. formatting can also be helful in building tension, short sentences do that. you can highight an information by putting the sentecne with it alone in a line. a lot of things, also style, but you still should keep to the actual rules. treat your work as something great, dont do it half assed. treat it like it'd be supposed to be published, yk?

okay im done this is so long ugh i hope anything here is at least a bit understandable sorry but also if u or anyone have any more questions feel free to hit the ask box/dms hehehe

Ok, gosh, sorry to pester but your response got me actually sorta tempted to maybe give writing atleast a small fic a try. So I've got a fair lotta experience with running and playing ttrpgs and I imagine there's *some* skill overlap (Both kinda being in a roundabout way narrative writing, just as a group) and, well, wondering if you have any tips and tricks for fic writing? I know I really struggle with character dialogue when I'm writing both sides of it 😅

YASSS LET'S GO!! Fic writing time!!! (And don't worry, you're not pestering me. If anything you've infected me with Minotaur Brain).

Okay, this is about to get long, so apologies in advance. You've unleashed the beast.

I actually went from playing and running TTRPG to fic-writing because I had more ideas than any single game of DND could possibly contain. I wanted these stories out of my head and I wanted complete control. (Do I have control issues? Maybe~ But only when it comes to impatience. I didn't want to have to wait on people to make story decisions, damn it!) So I can say that, yes, there's absolutely some overlap that'll come in handy!

Ahhh character dialogue. I know a lot of people struggle with that exact mechanic, so you're not alone. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have the boon of having conversations with myself pretty constantly lol. Dialogue comes very naturally for me, and is one of my favorite things to write. I'd say just pay attention to how you speak to people, how people speak to you, and keep in mind that two people talking are going to have different motivations and interpretations of the conversation. It can feel intimidating, but the #1 thing to prioritize is knowing your characters inside and out. Their responses in dialogue will come naturally if you know their personality well.

As far as external sources, I follow a lot of "On Writing" type channels on YouTube, and I'll link a few of my favorites: Hello Future Me has a whole playlist of writing tips and tricks, but his entire channel is just lovely. For dialogue specifically, I gotta recommend this video, which I've watched plenty. (Also he has videos on The Elder Scrolls!) The Closer Look tends to focus on movies and scripts more than written work, but one of the best ways to get better at writing is to critique all types of storytelling media. (Critique as in look critically at what makes a story successful, not just shit on popular media for fun). Brandon Sanderson is an absolute master of fantasy fiction and has a WEALTH of videos on youtube. His playlist on writing advice is great for bite-sized nuggets of knowledge, but also he has entire college-level lectures available for free on youtube. Shit's amazing.

I also love watching channels, like Cari Can Read, that read and discuss popular books. It's entertaining, and also a good example of what to do, and often what not to do, in a story lmfao.

I've also read many many books on writing techniques. "How Fiction Works" by Oakley Hall is probably my all-time favorite.

I hope this helps you get a good start! But at the end of the day, just write! Technique can come later. Get some words down and see where the story takes you. Worry about the craft later. As they always say, you can't edit a blank page.

Best of luck, my friend, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. 🙏

[bluebunnyears-08]

I’d like to ask if I can give a writing prompt?

Its a sequel to the story of where Nine has replaced Tails in his Prime universe. I don’t know if you are already working on one but I have an idea with a few little prompts.

1). Sonic is unable to really speak after a shock like that being unable to express anything as his heads a mess.

2). Nine goes on about what they can do together and today, showing what he has already invented on the table. - it can be what you want it to be he invents maybe something fun or it could be a weapon he shows off like a kid showing off a drawing to a dad or brother.

3). Sonic collects himself for only a little and shakes himself a little to reality. “Saying thats great buddy I-I need to just go for a run toooo clear my head”

4). Nine is sad of course but he thinks he’s got all the time in the world to hang out and he can enjoy his isolation for a little while longer and the more serene surroundings and fresh air. He’ll say something like “ok later bro” or “alright but lets catch up I want to know everything else about this world” with a lot of pep like the old tails.

5). Sonic immediately makes a break for it to an isolated location and gets all he’s feeling out in a kind cry scream that sags out at the end and he tries to collect himself after trying to keep himself together.

6). Back to Nine he’s happily sitting in his metal tails made chair when Amy drops in wondering why sonic left. How Nine acts towards her is up to you.

I hope that it wasn’t too long or irritating

Of course, it's ok! I'm sorry it took a while to see this answered, I've been going through some stuff and my mind has been in a fog. However, I don't plan on writing a sequel or a continuation to that fic, I wanted to leave what happens next to you readers, and it seems from what you've written it worked!

I'm very happy you liked that fic, and even more glad it left what happens next in your mind. Another thing is that I didn't originally come up with the fic, as it was a prompt request I merely fleshed out. So I can't really claim ownership of it.

So I can't expand on that fic due to those two reasons, but I can respond if you want to what you think would happen next.

And don't ever worry about a prompt being too long or irritating, send whatever prompt you have no matter how long it is. The only catch is that it'll take a longer time to write, but other than that, there's nothing wrong with any request.

Yes, I can see Sonic being shocked, mainly because the person in front of him is technically his brother, so he wouldn't know how to go about it. I slightly disagree with Sonic being angry or furious, he'd be more shocked and conflicted than anything, and while he will be horrified and against what Nine did, he wouldn't really yell or scream or antagonize Nine. Due to Sonic's interactions with Nine and knowledge of Nine's past and his probable emotional maturity, he wouldn't understand, but he could never truly hate or yell at Nine. A concerned scolding or a disappointed stare is probably the worst that'll happen.

And yeah, Nine is too happy and blissful to notice Sonic's shock and horror, just happy to be with Sonic and in a world he dreamed of. And he'd probably show off a gun or something that'll help Sonic with Eggman, very reminiscent of a child showing a parent their drawing. Nine is still a kid after all. A broken, emotionally exhausted, and traumatized kid, but a kid nonetheless.

Yeah, I can see Sonic understanding not just the situation, but he takes note of Nine's fragilely joyful state, so he's careful, not wanting Nine to be upset or angry, so he'd just make up an excuse to go out for a run.

Nine would be disappointed, but he'd never force Sonic to do anything, as seen when he allows Sonic to go back and help the rebels despite clearly wanting Sonic to stay. Not to mention now nothing can separate them, and they have all the time in the world in this paradise of a world. And I can see him retaining the pep and cheerfulness of the original Tails, now that he doesn't have anything to worry or be pained about. He is still a Tails after all.

And Sonic would be heartbroken and horrified at what Nine did, reducing his baby bro into nothing but a mere trait, what Nine was. I don't think he'd scream, not really, he'd most likely just shut down and focus on his swarming thoughts silently as various flickies wonder what's wrong.

Nine would be indifferent to Amy like he was to the others. She'd come in to find him sitting on a makeshift chair he used his tails to make. He'd tell her Sonic went for a run, mentioning Sonic's habit of 'running around everywhere'. Amy would then ask what he was doing which Nine would be short and blunt, explaining what he was building, not having the same shine in his eyes as when he was explaining it to Sonic and his voice being rather flat and bored. Amy would notice this and ask if he's ok, to which Nine would simply tell her he was fine, getting annoyed when Amy asks if he's sure. He then snarks back at her in annoyance, which would take her aback, then Nine would catch himself and apologize, stating that he has a lot going on in his head about inventions he needs to finish and work on and just needs some time alone, asking Amy to leave him alone to work. Amy would still be concerned but would comply, leaving the fox to tinker with his work as he fantasized about all of the things he could do now that he managed to follow Sonic back to Green Hill, his tails wagged behind him in excitement and joy.

I have two questions about put my lips to something. Do you know how Kaldur and Dick would get out of the temple? And what would happen if Dick got knocked up from the experience?

oooooh I see you've been doing your reading lmao.

The thing with put my lips to something is it's an exchange fic, and I tend not to go back to exchange fics once they're done because I will always try to do treats for the exchange as well as the original gift. Which means I honestly don't think about them very much once they're done.

However, put my lips to something is... a special case? because several of the comments actually provoked such questions, so I've given it a bit of thought.

So basically the temple is for Dionysus, which is why they get sucked in, cause it's essentially the sex pollen temple. I had a bit of lore in mind that I didn't get a chance to elaborate on, but essentially, the idea of it was that it was made for newlyweds who wanted to cement their new relationship in the eyes of Dionysus, giving their wedding night activities as sacrifice to him, in hopes of achieving a strong, healthy and active marriage. The other benefit is fertility, so other possible denizens of the temple would be couples struggling to get pregnant.

Because of this, there's not really any "escaping" from the temple. It's built and made with the assumption that if someone unseals it and goes inside, they know what they're in for.

The temple releases the inhabitants basically. When it was first made, there would have been actual "priests" essentially, who would monitor how long it had been, and they knew how to wind down the ritual magically. It's been abandoned a long time, so now the only one who's aware of it is Dionysus, who would be just as canon as any other gods in DC lmao, who would be made aware of the temple because he's getting power in the form of the sacrifice. so when he decides he's had enough he can stop it.

all this to say: there is no escape. They get out when a god deems he's had enough (who knows how long that'll take) and they're barely aware of the passage of time anyway.

as for question two, it's very possible.

I'm not one for pregnancy fics, hence why I've never written one. So if I were to go back and write more, either he wouldn't be pregnant or they would both agree to get rid of the baby. I mean, they're way too young for one anyway.

that said, it'd add so much drama to the whole experience. especially cause they're mated now, and in the eyes of Dionysus they're practically married. lot of drama. I could even write a sequel where Dionysus actually shows up, because no one has used that temple in so long and he doesn't really have any disciples anymore. Most gods are probably waning in power because they don't have a lot of temples or followers, even if people know about them that just keeps them alive, they actually need belief and sacrifice to stay powerful. so maybe Dionysus would latch on to these two because 'hey new champions!'

much to consider.

Fic idea: Jacks couldn't stand Luc (Vampire mode) and Eva interacting. Jealousy to the nth level brewing.

AH I love writing jealous!Jacks, this is going to be soooo good.

I couldn't really tell if you meant the scene where they're conversing in the book or for me to come up with another... so I sat and thought for a minute and really wanted to write about a scene that I could see happening in The Ballad of Never After. I hope you enjoy this and thank you for your ask! <3

Summary: On a night when she can't sleep, Evangeline decides to take a trip to the Hall's library to see if she can find any information about the Valors and the Arch. However, on the way she bumps into a mysterious man with... with the most... beautiful eyes...

warnings: none.

PS: PLEASE READ> I'm kind of twisting the vampires' powers here because I felt like a lot was left out of Broken Heart, or at least I have some theories about how they might be used in Never After. It's essentially the same thing, just a little more emphasized. Kinda like love curse, vampires can glamour humans with their eyes to do certain things. HOWEVER, this glamour can be broken by looking into the eyes of your true love.

Ain't no one about to tell me this isn't Evangeline.

No matter how she tossed and turned, sleep was not happening tonight, not for Evangeline. It wasn't to say she wasn't exhausted, because a full day of arguing with the Prince of Hearts would be enough to send anyone into hibernation. She'd braided her long, pink locks into two loose braids and put on her most comfortable nightgown.

But the room was hot, and her body just wasn't as tired as her mind.

She sat up slowly, pushing the covers back and letting her skin cool down. She figured she should put this newfound time to use. In all this time, trying to find out more about the Valory Arch, she hadn't thought to do any research in Wolf Hall's library. To be fair, that's probably the first place she should have gone, and maybe would have been if she didn't have an obnoxious Fate pulling her here and there.

The hall at night seemed scary to Evangeline, given how big of a place this was. But she'd endured far worse, so what was a little darkness?

One step out the door, and a voice shot through her head.

What are you doing?

She paused outside her door. It had to be past midnight.

I could ask you the same thing, don't you need your beauty rest?

Yes, taunt him, Evangeline, she thought, that'll do wonders. But she couldn't help it, never with him.

Fates don't really need sleep.

I know, I was referring strictly to you.

She heard a chuckle in her mind, but it felt so close. Like lips drifting up her neck, fingers sliding her hair out of the way so he could whisper in her ear.

Where are you going?

Nowhere you need to be concerned with.

She didn’t want him coming with her, she told herself, her body might not be tired but her mind yearned for sleep. Even if he always made her feel a little bit better, nothing was going to happen to her with him around.

But it wasn't genuine. He wanted her for the prophecy, nothing else. He couldn't join her tonight because she needed to do her own research without him twisted her thoughts.

You might as well tell me, Little Fox, lest you're looking for a chase.

She didn't respond. Why would he chase her at this hour? He didn't even know where she was going, if she went quick enough...

She heard a door creak open down the hall, and she took it as queue to scurry down a nearby corridor and quickly to the staircase. The library would be on the bottom floor, and her bedroom was on the third. Wolf Hall was designed for the most difficult escapes, meaning that the stairs to one floor were directly opposite the stairs to the next. Evangeline needed to cross the entire Hall in order to find her way to the first floor, and then halfway across again to get to the library.

Well, hopefully the trip would at least ware her down a little.

She'd made it halfway across the second-floor ballroom when she heard footsteps approaching.

Seriously, turn around.

She hoped some sense would come to him, that he might leave her alone for the night. But when the footsteps continued, she felt the irritation building in her chest.

I'm nowhere near you.

She turned quickly, "Listen--"

Little Fox?

The response in her head didn't matter, Evangeline barely even heard it as her eyes found two shimmering brown orbs. She swore they glowed, like little masterpieces with gold flecks painted in.

"Hello, Darling..." Luc stepped further out of the shadows. He'd grown since the last time she'd seen him, grown into a real vampire. He wore a simple black tunic that hugged his arms in a way that had Evangeline's heart wondering back to those hidden nights when they were just children.

Little Fox? Why aren't you responding?

"Luc..." she found herself whispering. Before, she had thought she couldn't feel anything for him anymore, after the crypt and what she had shared with Jacks. But now... oh my.

Evangeline, seriously--

The voice cut off in her head. Not that she hadn't heard it, as if something had interrupted it. She didn't have time to think as Luc stepped forward, his cold fingers feeling invasive on her neck as they brushed her hair behind her ear.

"It's been so long," his eyes roved over her, her trance only allowed herself to nod, "you're as beautiful as ever."

"Thank you..." her voice came out velvety smooth, her chest rising quicker, her knees feeling heavy.

He stepped closer, still, his knuckles moving over her cheek as his eyes drop to her collarbone. "I waited for you, you know? That morning, after that bastard chased you away from me..."

bastard.

Jacks... Jacks was a bastard, an asshole, a complete mess but... but she didn't like Luc saying it for some reason. Especially about the night that Jacks used all his self-control to keep her safe, something Luc couldn't do...

She took a step back, but he followed.

"Woah, woah, woah..." His fingers lifted her jaw, and she became entranced in his eyes once again. "I let you go once; you think I'm going to do that again?"

Numbly, she shook her head. He was so close, overwhelming her senses.

"Now," he leaned into her ear, his breath made her throat feel tight, "why don't you go to your room and wait for me?"

Still numb, Evangeline stepped around him, with her room the only thought in her mind. On some level, somewhere, this didn't feel right, but her feet kept moving anyways. Her heart felt like a drum against her ribs, insisted, disruptive until Luc's footsteps were gone.

And she was suddenly pulled behind an arch. A cold, secure hand around her waist pulled her back to a solid chest. She fought against it.

My room, my room.

The arm only tightened; this time accompanied by a brush of lips against her ear: "Must I constantly remind you who you belong to?"

With a yelp, she was turned with her back against the wall, caged in my two pale arms and the stern expression of the Prince of Hearts. Evangeline didn't meet his eyes, instead she looked longingly to the staircase.

The cold air pressed in on her as his chest brushed hers, "I've told you; you still owe me. Until I decide, you're mine." His voice is drowning in anger.

Evangeline pushes at his arm, a whimper escaping, "Have to meet him in my room, have to be good..." she mumbled, more to herself, feeling dread sink in at the thought of not doing what was asked.

A hand was suddenly at her shoulder, pushing her gently so her back was flat against the wall. Her eyes found the floor, feeling ashamed with herself. What would Luc think?

"That boy glamoured you!?" Jacks was furious enough to bring down the whole of Wolf Hall.

"Luc..." she gasped, she had to get to Luc.

Jacks growled at the sound of his name on her lips, and suddenly he was closer than ever.

"I'm going to kill him. I'm going to tear him limb from limb."

He cupped her face and pulled her up so he could look at her.

"Little Fox--"

It was like a tether being broke in two, it was like waking up from a coma where you thought all your dreams were real. It was the breaking of a curse.

"You have the most beautiful eyes." Was all she could say. Because it was true, Luc's hadn't glowed, not really, not like this. His hands felt invasive, where Jacks were cold in a way that assured they would pull her out of any fire. His breath next to her ear hadn't made her throat close up, rather it sent delicious shivers down her spine.

He stumbled back, looking at her in a whole new way, a way that sent the whole situation crashing down on her.

"Oh... oh my god." She cupped her mouth with her hands, tears blurring her vision as she slid down the stone walls.

Not again, not again.

Jacks was in front of her in an instant, crouching down and pulling her hands from her face. "Never again." His blue eyes were like the brightest part of a flame.

Evangeline didn't know what to do with herself. The world kept playing these stupid mind games with her when all she wanted was love.

"Evangeline... did... did I just undo your curse?" He clasped her tear-stained hands in one of his, using the other to brush off the wetness on her cheeks.

'I... I guess." Evangeline continued sobbing. Sleep, she wanted to sleep.

He was quiet for a moment, staring dumbfounded at her. She wanted to ask what she missed, but his face cleared, and he helped her to her feet.

"You're not going to your room tonight," Jacks said, pulling he up the staircase and to his room.

"Jacks!" Evangeline pulled her hands from his, "As the wife of the prince, it would be impure to sleep in your room."

But Jacks wound on her in an instant, so quick she couldn't blink before his lips were on hers.

She pushed him away instantly, but it was too late. His mouth had left an implant on hers that tasted sweeter than anything she'd had the pleasure to consume. Still, he stayed close.

"Do you know what it means to break a vampire's glamour?" Jacks ground out. When Evangeline didn't respond, he continued, "No one else could have done it besides your true love, Little Fox. The way the glamour works, it can only be broken by looking into the eyes of your true love. You looked at me, and your curse broke." He pulled her to him again.

She felt like her heart might explode. Jacks? Her true love? Why did it make so much sense and yet none at all.

She didn't stop to think about it, because his lips were then on her neck, and he was twisting the knob to his door and pushing them both in. She gasped as his kisses spread from her collarbone to her ear.

"But... Apollo--"

"I do not care one ounce about the prince, and I'll deal with Luc in the morning. Right now, all I care about is kissing every inch of you I've been withheld for so long."

The way his lips were descending toward her chest, she had no protests as her knees hit the bed and she let herself fall. She pulled him down by his collar and joined their lips.

"You're mine." She gasped.

"From the beginning of time to the end." He breathed.

Please tell me about Johnny Cage's sex diary! (This is @bisexualjohnnycage !) ^_^)

@bisexualjohnnycage hell yeah!!! i posted a good chunk of the ideas i had already on this post but i'll try and put some of my other ideas here lol (just as a warning this may get a little raunchy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

alright so im just gonna put my notes for what ideas i have for the male characters in the rosters for mk9, mkx, and mk11 :)

Baraka

I don't have many ideas for Baraka yet, but this will probably be one of the more rough/violent chapters with some biting/bleeding/cutting likely involved (consensual tho, Johnny doesn't mind >:3 )

Bo' Rai Cho & Raiden

Definitely leaning towards Johnny having a threesome with these two, I'm thinking sometime between MK9 and MKX

Johnny's gonna see Raiden with his hair down for the first time and his brain is gonna short-circuit for a minute because Gay

I want Johnny to call Raiden "Rai-doll" at least once

Cyrax

I want Johnny to hook up with Cyrax before he gets cyberized so it's going to have to happen at the first tournament in MK9. Honestly I may have to change how long the tournament is in this fic because I feel like it's so short in the actual game that Johnny won't have enough time to be a manwhore lmao

In MK9 Cyrax was specifically assigned by the Lin Kuei to kill Johnny in the tournament, but chose to spare him at the last second, so that'll be a fun thing to consider. Does Johnny try to hook up with Cyrax because he can't stop thinking about him after their fight? Or did they sleep together before their fight and Cyrax decided not to kill him because the dick was that good? Either way, hilarious

Erron Black & Kabal

Johnny having a threesome with these two in order to try and set them up together yeehaw

Can Johnny resist the urge to make a "save a horse ride a cowboy" joke? No he cannot

Not sure if I'll be able to fit it in, but I may try to include Erron asking for/offering weapon training as a way of flirting with men because in MK11 he has these two intros that I think about a lot:

Erron Black: Come for shooting lessons? Sub-Zero: Are you offering, Erron Black? Erron Black: Only to the quick and the brave.

Erron Black: Don't s'pose you'd teach me that rope spear. Scorpion: And divulge Shirai Ryu secrets? Erron Black: I could make you share, Scorpion.

Kabal comes in like 30 seconds but his refractory period is super fast too so its okay <3

Fujin & Nightwolf?

I'm considering having Johnny hook up with these two together as well, but I don't really have much thought of for them yet cuz I haven't watched their part of the story in MK11 yet

I do know that Johnny will probably be surprised by how easily he's able to convince Fujin to sleep with him. Fujin canonically is both a fan of Johnny and "enjoys a good time" so I think he would be down lol

Goro

Goro effortlessly manhandling Johnny. Just holding him completely off the ground by all fours while fucking his face and/or ass <3

With Johnny trying to hook up with the more evil characters that I can see using Johnny to get off but not necessarily caring as much about his pleasure/comfort/safety I'm just imagining him being like "Okay gotta make sure I get myself prepped for anal Before I go because I Do wanna get fucked in the ass but the chances of them actually caring if I'm ready for it are Not High." Like he's rolling up to Goro's lair with his largest butt plug already In

Johnny Cage

Obviously going to take place with Past!Johnny and Future!Johnny in MK11. I'm probably going to have it revolve around the scene where Future!Johnny takes Past!Johnny aside to scold him, and then somehow either instead of fighting or after fighting they'll end up having sex lmao

Kenshi

Okay so for most of these ships I'm planning on having the chapter I write be about the first (if not only) time Johnny has sex with them. However, I may or may not end up doing that with Kenshi because I've been really into the idea of Johnny and Kenshi actually being in a long term relationship (and getting married to each other after Johnny gets divorced) beginning prior to MKX. So I may end up writing an instance of them having sex while they're already in an established relationship rather than their first time together. Who knows tho! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kung Lao

Johnny and Kung Lao's sexual awakening! They're going to meet and hook up on the first night of the tournament in MK9. At this point Johnny's never slept with another guy before and Kung Lao's never slept with anyone before so it will be a learning experience for the both of them >;3

Liu Kang, Kitana, Jade, Kotal Kahn, & Reptile

My Outworld + Liu Kang Polycule! I have like three scenarios I'm considering for this one right now. In the first two the polycule is already together and in the third one they're not

First scenario: Johnny wants to hook up with Liu, but since he loves Kitana/he and Kitana are already in a relationship Johnny invites her too and makes it a threesome. Kotal finds out about this as well as the fact that Johnny has made "Sleep With Every Man Possible" into his own personal life goal and invites Johnny over. Johnny thinks “hell yeah” and goes over to hook up with Kotal, only to find that Kotal also invited Liu, Kitana, Jade, and Reptile. Johnny ofc is not at all bothered by this, the more the merrier >:3

Second scenario: Johnny is talking to Liu about the polycule's relationship dynamic (basically like a chain, Liu-Kitana-Jade-Kotal-Reptile). Johnny asks if all five of them have ever had sex together. Liu says they have not. Johnny asks if they'd like to, and if he can be invited >:3

Third scenario: Liu tells Johnny which members of the not-yet-together polycule have feelings for whom and why they allegedly can't be together ("I love Kitana but she loves Jade who is in a relationship with Kotal and also Reptile is there") and Johnny is like "Hm. Interesting. >:3" and starts plotting to be matchmaker again

Also like with Lao I headcanon Liu as not having slept with anyone prior to MK9, however I haven't decided for sure whether or not he and Kitana will have had sex by the time stuff happens with Johnny

Rain

Okay Vivi I have to admit I'm probably gonna be SUPER influenced by the Rain/Johnny fic you posted recently because I absolutely loved it!!! Rain is DEFINITELY into being praised. Johnny just needs to give him even the smallest amount of positive attention and he'll be set >:3

Scorpion & Sub-Zero

Honestly I really don't have any ideas for these two yet except that they're definitely going to be together. Like obviously lol

And then there's a bunch of characters that I literally have no ideas for yet but might try to come up with something for in the future! Including but not limited to: Ermac, Geras, Jax, Kano, Kollector, Noob Saibot, Quan Chi, Sektor, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Shinnok, Smoke, Stryker, Ferra/Torr, Tremor, Triborg, etc

2023 Writing in Review

I did an ao3 wrapped thing and mostly this is closer to the art wrapped where its one piece from each month. Some months don't have pieces (and that's okay.) I also kind of want to take a moment to reflect on what I hope to accomplish next year and what I (feel like I) accomplished this year. That'll all go at the end.

Total number of works posted this year topped out at 36 choosing one work for each month was hard as hell. But I tried to choose the one I was most proud of or felt like I did something that stretched my skill in. This feels long so under a cut it goes.

January-March: Nothing posted. Creative hibernation, if you will.

April: Nightmares and Horrors (RWBY) Speculative Post Volume 8 ending. Ruby wakes up alone in an unfamiliar world, wounded, tired, and terrified. It doesn't get a lot better from there.

May: Aligned Between Us (FFVII) Zack and Cloud finally have a real conversation about everything. Also featuring Tifa being a good friend!

June: Beginning Where We Ended (FFVII) Instead of waking up in the church after his (near) death at the hands of Sephiroth’s remnants, Cloud wakes up on the wasteland outside of Midgar over two years before. Zack faces down Shinra’s infantry, and Cloud finds he has the strength to change history.

But to do that, Cloud has to face it all again, while warring with his own splintered psyche. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to do it alone, if only he’d remember that.

July: Moments of Peace (FFVII) Quick meeting with Reeve of the WRO and Tseng of the Turks, and then the Boys have a Night in the Costa Del Sol home before the rest of their trip.

August: Unrealistic Expectations (FFXV) After nearly failing the trial of the Tidemother, Noctis stands precariously balanced between his duty, his emotions, and his body’s need for rest. The Prince fails to heed Lunafreya’s warning about taking it easy, and his friends find the hard way that Noctis hasn’t been truthful with them.

September: What Makes a Monster (FFVII) With only hours separating Zack from the massacre of Nibelheim, he does the best he can to stop it from happening.

October: Saving the Hero (FFVII) A pair of scenes centering in on Sephiroth saving Zack, and Zack - in his own way - saving Sephiroth in return.

November: Recordings for Sleeping (FFVII) At first it had been disheartening - was he that boring to talk to? But over time, Zack had come to understand that it wasn’t that it was boring. It was that Sephiroth had come to associate Zack talking with a sense of peace and the fact that things were okay, so he could relax - and, subsequently, could rest. It was incredibly touching, now that Zack understood it better.

December: Pause, Rewind, Restart (FFVII) Cloud and Marlene are visiting the church when they find themselves pulled backward into the past. With no way back home, Cloud sets himself to doing the best he can to make sure that this future goes better than the one they came from because he can't just do nothing.

Reflections

This year was kind of wild, I ended up absolutely hip deep in a fandom I have loved for a really long time but avoided for a number of reasons. And I didn't just wade in slowly, no I dove right in and I'll admit I'm kind of having the time of my life. As can... probably seen by the sheer number of fics for that specific fandom that I've posted. I crossed the 75 fic marker this year! And I'm so close to the 100 fic marker that I'm vibrating. It feels big it feels like I've accomplished something.

In the new year I want to get better at interacting on my social media again. I want to post snippets and thoughts and ideas rather than just appearing for long enough to like. Drop the newest fic and disappearing into the void. I also, of course, look forward to writing (and finishing!) more projects. I've still got a lot sitting in wip land that I look forward to sharing with everyone.

I don't know what 2023 will hold but I'm thankful for all the support so far and I look forward to seeing where it brings me next year.

Signal-a small bunch of happily-ever-after headcanons

In lieu of an actual second season for the original version of Signal (at least, that's the case at the time of writing this) and a lacklustre movie follow-up in the Japanese remake I have been thinking about what I imagine would happen next. TBH I finished watching Signal a little while ago, it's just taken me this long to actually make a headcanon post. I'd vaguely been thinking of writing fic, but couldn't quite pull the ideas into fic form so decided a headcanon list was the best way to go. That, and I recently finished a different k-drama and immediately thought I wanted to do some happily-ever-after headcanons for that, too. So that'll be next, eventually.

But anyway, here are all my happy ending ideas, under the cut because spoilers: (as a side note, I might still try and turn this ideas into fic in the future. I just don't know when)

There's no real way around it, in all timelines Jae-han does go missing. But, in the final fixed timeline, it's only a few years.

Most importantly, he's found alive. Injured, most likely, but alive. And he's cleared of murdering Kim Bum-joo and whatever else was pinned on him when he disappeared. The corruption in the police force and government is also exposed and there's a lot to sort out there, but steps are made to sort it.

Jae-han goes back to working as a homicide detective once he's recovered and the stuff directly tied to him is cleared, and builds a proper connection with Soo-hyun. They do start dating, but it's a very slow process. Slow, but steady. They are happy.

They do get married, eventually. They're low-key about this, but they do have a wedding to make their parents happy (esp Soo-hyun's mum, who 100% relishes getting to help her daughter pick the prettiest wedding dress). They do not have biological children, but are foster parents for a while and eventually adopt an older child. Most likely, this child is someone they meet from one of their cases, maybe a dependent of a victim or culprit who has nobody else to take him or her in. They will also probably end up having to occasionally babysit Soo-hyun's chaotic nephews, though they are less chaotic as they grow up, thankfully

Hae-young also gets married, probably either to a journalist or someone who works with children in some capacity. They have two, maybe three children together. Their names aren't directly honour names (from what I understand that isn't really a thing in Korean naming tradtions? Might be wrong?) but one kid's name will probably share a syllable with the names of Hae-young's brother and the other a syllable with girl who'd died in the bridge accident that Jae-han had known. I'm not sure who'd be a good pick for name-syllable-sharing for a third kid, so maybe just two.

Soo-hyun does end up a team leader, and of the Cold Case Team. In this timeline, it's formed in response to a completely different case but seen as a much more positive thing. There are still some snags, a few people who feel it highlights police failures to have such a team. But on the whole, the team is made with an expectation it will last-there are a whole lot of unsolved cases out there, after all.

As for Hae-young, the difficulties in his homelife didn't disappear once his brother was posthumously exonerated. His parents did get back together, and tried their best, but they had their own grief and trauma to unpack and that took a while. So he still needed to be fed by the porkhouse lady, and once Jae-han reappeared he continued to watch over Hae-young. Time would go by, and he'd decide to be a policeman just like the detective who cleared Sun-woo, not yet aware that that same detective was still looking after him.

They would eventually catch glimpses of each other during Hae-young's training. But the first time Jae-han and Hae-young properly meet is when Hae-young graduates his training.

With his memories of past timelines and all he learnt as a profiler there, Hae-young quickly garners a reputation for being 'clever' and 'well-read', 'insightful' and someone who has 'interesting ideas'. Various ways of explaining how he has knowledge someone his age shouldn't have, basically.

Jae-han introduces him to Soo-hyun socially (their first meal as a trio is omurice, which becomes a tradition, though they'll eat other things together on different occasions) she then takes an interest in him professionally and has him work with the Cold Case Team to see how he fits. She then gets the higher ups to send him on profiling courses, so he eventually becomes a profiler.

And after that, the Cold Case Team is a lot like it was throughout the series once the camaderie had been established. [side note: I loved the Cold Case Team dynamics so much they are a GREAT team]

Soo-hyun mentors Hae-young the way Jae-han mentored her. Hae-young gets called '0.25' by most of his close colleagues as a result (after all, Soo-hyun is the only '0.5' they can have).

All three of them garner reputations to be dedicated, hard-working and particularly brilliant in their departments in different ways. As mentioned above Hae-young is known for being clever, while Jae-han is known for persistence/earnestness and Soo-hyun compassion and composure in equal measures. They're all very committed to stamping out corruption and looking out for the underdog.

The walkie-talkie continues to be a lucky charm for Jae-han. It doesn't ever work again...well, not for most of their life. It only works right at the very end of Jae-han's life (illness related, when he's very elderly, so while it is obviously tragic it's more expected and natural, just as it should have been). He gets to say a proper goodbye to both Soo-hyun and Hae-young this way.

But with the goodbye for Hae-young, it happens while he's helping Soo-hyun and their adoptive child (plus one of Hae-young's children, plus possibly grandchildren of both) clear Jae-han's things after the funeral. They had shared the stories of the walkie-talkie but of course weren't really believed. Not that any of the three of them really expected them to believe it (well, maybe Jae-han did want them to, a little), because they told the stories as if they were an unusual kind of myth or something. But they hear the walkie-talkie, and talk to Jae-han one more time, and they realise it is real.

Of course, the walkie-talkie doesn't go off again after that. But it continues to be passed down between their families, and the stories shared too.

There will also be plenty of photographs, because one thing Soo-hyun becomes quite fixated on is having 'proper photographs' of all the people she cares for. It gets to the point that people assume she has a hobby of photography and start buying her cameras and camera equipment for birthday presents and things. She still keeps that silly photograph of her and Jae-han posing, but doesn't hide it behind the batman. Instead, it sits in a seperate frame next to it on her desk.

[hoe-doroki]

hello! thank you for all your fics <3 may i please ask why you no longer write x reader fics? You don't have to answer, I've just been seeing so much negativity and entitlement from anons making writers stop doing what they love, I hope that's not the reason for you.

Ahh, sorry I don't know when this was sent in; I hope you haven't been waiting long. Don't worry, it's nothing negative. I'm really lucky never to have received any hate or been a part of any drama. I've made lovely reader insert friends and it's been a great community to be a part of. I so appreciate your concern, tho. And I'm glad you've enjoyed my stories. <3

Longer answer beneath the cut.

It's kind of a long story, so I'll start off with the tl;dr. Reader insert was always going to be transient for me. I'm a shipper and always have been, and I kind of knew that from the beginning. If you dig reeeeally deep into this blog, you'll see MONTHS of tags where I say "once I find a ship, it's all over here" and "this ship is calling me over, I swear" etc. Tbh, the breadcrumbs have been laid since near the beginning.

I've been reading fic since I was 12, and it was always shipfic. I never liked OC-centered stories, and was only ever drawn to reading and writing canonverse and stuff that felt similar. I don't enjoy deviating from canon. I talk to reader insert friends who have been into fic as long as I have and they talk about making OCs or pairing their faves with characters they could project onto and that was just...never my game. Idk if it's my demisexuality or my lack of imagination, but it's always given me butterflies to read about two characters who I see as really, truly in love. Whereas with reading and writing reader insert, I never cared about reader-chan. Even when I was modeling her exactly after me. I tried to give her depth and make her a good match for her bnha boy, but it was just that. A match to the boy. She was a stand-in, but not for me. For a character that whoever I was writing for would actually love.

I fell into reader insert by accident. I liked Todoroki upon my first watch of the series, and I wanted to read fics with him, but I wasn't jazzed by his ships. I'm usually pretty easy and get into whichever ships are pushed in canon. Like, if they tried harder with IzuOcha, I'd probably be an IzuOcha shipper, lol. But bnha isn't really committed to its, like, 4 or 5 het ships, so I wasn't either. So I clicked around random stories with Shou, stumbled upon reader insert, and I was like eh, that'll do. If there had been a ship I liked, I never would have read a single reader insert fic ever.

And then I got pulled in. Not by reader insert, exactly, but by the community. The blogs, and the friends I started making quickly, which was crazy to me, because I've never been in a fandom as active as this. In other fandoms, I would make a friend or two, but stuff like discord and tumblr friends and groupchats were new. And exciting, especially in the loneliness of covid.

Then I entered a feedback loop. I started reading bkdk as early as November 2020, and I only started reading reader insert in August, writing it in September. But November was also when I joined my first reader insert discord. All my friends were talking about reader insert, and we were all promoting our stories, reading each other's and so my brain kept on being flooded with fic ideas, headcanons, requests. Especially since I was writing all oneshots, mostly nsfw ones which, for me, didn't take a whole lot of effort or time. I started writing for a more (read: the most) popular character, Bakugou, and my fics were becoming popular, in January 2021 I hit 1k followers, I had decent interax, everything was going well.

By this point, I said at least to friends, if not hidden in tags somewhere on this blog, that I was ready to leave reader insert as soon as I had an idea for a bkdk fic. Cold turkey. I was one foot out the door for months before I actually started writing bkdk. But because of that feedback loop, I kept on having reader insert ideas and I wasn't in the same way talking about bkdk, thinking about it, taking the time to try and conjure up a fic idea. I still had wips for reader insert and I wanted to fulfill those promises as well.

Just some discord screenshots with dates, so you can see that the descent is much earlier than you'd think. Plus, past!me says some of this better than I'm managing to here.

The truth is, that I feel nothing towards reader insert now. I kind of want to delete my fics for it all the time because, like, I don't even know who that person was who wrote them. Who was Ana? Not me, and that's why I go by my real name now. I'm not a person who goes through phases, usually. I'm a pretty consistent person, and when I latch onto something, I tend to stick with it for life. Bkdk will be with me for life, I am 100% sure. This was a very strange, out of character blip for me.

And I know that sounds kind of disparaging towards the genre, and I don't mean that at ALL. Reader insert holds so much value as a genre, and it did for me too. You can see from my chat above that it was holding the entirety of my mental health for months. And I'll always value the friends I made. I love that these fics are still enjoyed, so I never will delete them. But I wish that I could fully detach them from myself too. I don't want to give up being able to read the lovely comments and reply back, though. Still, I wish with all my heart that I'd been with bkdk during all that time instead. Bkdk gives me butterflies. It makes me feel warm, makes me feel something like love. Reader insert just doesn't.

There's also a similar story in here about how I got caught in a feedback loop of writing smut too, and I never wanted to be a smut writer. I've written 50 fics or so for bnha, and none of them are my favorites (even the bkdks). My favorite fics, now, are all sfw, shipfic ones I wrote years ago. I don't like that. I want to like my current stuff more. This is why, in addition to retiring from reader insert, I've retired from smut. Smut is also a genre that I love and have mad respect for, but it needs to be as a reader, not a writer. I want to be proud of my fics again, for me, not because they've gotten popular because they're kinky.

So yeah. I left because I never liked reader insert in the first place, but it was a ton of fun to be able to write so prolifically in such a lively community. I'm terribly sorry if this taints my fics in any way to you, like I was flippant while writing them. I wasn't. I always cared about writing them, there was just something big missing for me, and I stayed longer than I should have. That's all. I do appreciate you asking the question; it wasn't an intrusion at all. I give all my love to this community, because it was truly meaningful to me during, as we all know, a terrible, terrible time. But I'm much happier now, and hopefully my next fic will be one I'm truly proud of again.

I hope this answers the question adequately <3

#and with that #goodbye my lovelies <3 #goodbye hoe-doroki <3 #bless everyone in this lovely community; keep doing what you do #ask ana #johnsrevelation

[sprinklenoodles]

So, the poll actually ended in a tie! After some thinking- and spinning a wheel- I decided to eliminate the Crazier Byakuya AU, which means that there are only 2 options left!

I actually have no idea which fic will win, though I love both of the ideas!

Crazier Byakuya finds out the identity of the mastermind AU

Byakuya, one way or another, finds out Junko is the mastermind. Junko makes sure he can't tell anybody so the killing game continues. But, since this Byakuya is like the Byakuya in the other AU, he'll find it all much more interesting. He'll probably be much more open to helping Junko and whatnot.

+- Because this Byakuya is more manipulative, crazy, and all of that, Junko finds him much more interesting- not in a romantic sense- He's much more despairful in her eyes which may just mean she'll try to get him on her side or something. Just to have a bit of fun and mess with the others.

+2- As for now I have 3 ways of him finding out Junko is the mastermind. Either she leaves some hints for him, he figures out Mukuro isn't Junko and it goes on from there, or it's part of a deal. Remember, this Byakuya cares even less about the 'commoners' that are his classmates. Something like what he did in chapter 2 is not only highly probable once, but also multiple times. This will get him on Kyoko's radar though...

Choose Your Own Adventure kind of AU

As the title says, it will be kinda like a choose your own adventure kind of fic. Though, I will only write one possibility which you guys choose. The main character will be an OC which will replace one of the more replacable girls. Who this OC exactly is? That do you decide as well. I have a few OC's and in the first chapter you'll choose who you introduce yourself as. Every OC will have different strengths and weaknesses. They'll also have different Ultimate Talents and get along better with certain students! This is still about THH btw, so that!

+- So, the girl that'll be replaced will be either Toko, Celeste, Hina or Sakura since the others are a bit too important. It'll be random, with one exception. One of the girls will be a horror/ thriller writer, so Toko will go if she's chosen. Some of the OC's will be better in investigating then others. Though, others will be better in getting along with people. This means that depending on who gets chosen and who you're close to, different people might die. You might just also be able to stop certain death by making certain choices...

+2- I have a few OC's already made since I actually planned to write this after TRWSTH a while back, but kinda scrapped the idea! So, we have the shy Ultimate Gardener, the funny Ultimate Robotics Engineer, the formal Ultimate Violinist, the postive Ultimate Horror Author and the curious Ultimate Astrologer. I used one word to describe each of them, though there's obviously a lot more to them. I might just add a few more options if this gets chosen... (maybe you have a talent that you want to see) but one of these girls will most likely be your protagonist. And, yes, they're all girls. We deserve some more girl protagonists here.

Those are the two options with some new info! Vote for whatever option you want and leave any questions you might have.

Also: I finished writing That Really Wasn't Supposed To Happen, so it won't take too long before I start with the new story!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (five, tk take separately, luv uuu)

bestie you always come through thank you :))))

i hope that you're okay with me choosing from a variety of ships and fics cause that's what i'm doing lmao

long post incoming so inserting a cut here

and i can see us lost in the memory: muskoka lake cabin scene

really want to highlight this one cause i sort of feel like no one realizes that i ever wrote for them? probably because it was 3 years ago at this point and also has a lot of key characteristics of my early writing opposed to my writing now. but this is probably one of my favourite actual confession scenes that i've written. i knew the whole time when writing this fic that i wanted it to end in muskoka, with them together on the pier talking to one another. i think at the time, i was just so in love with the idea of muskoka being this place that connected both of them when they were pushed so so far apart. it felt right.

this is also where i kinda started like obsessing over eyes lmao. you can see that a common thread throughout my fics is the idea of eyes "crashing" into one another and eye contact being a sort of simultaneously clarifying and intense moment for the characters. i think that's personally because i hate making eye contact with literally anybody and find that you're most vulnerable when you're looking somebody right in the eye. The bond snaps into place as soon as Connor’s clear blue Muskoka eyes make contact with his is one of the best lines in the fic in my own personal expert opinion lmao because it signifies the beginning of the two characters finally starting to open up with each other, alongside a physical indicator that they do.

another one of my favourite lines is: They’ve both changed.  They’re both older, wiser.  They both look a little different.   But this place?  And these feelings?  Hasn’t changed one bit.

i love the idea of places holding weight and meaning. i just think that everything has memory in it you know? that'll never change, no matter how hard you try, and when you revisit those places, you're brought back to how you felt the first time you experienced them. you'll never forget them, but it's also always compounded with the new way you look at the world. and when you can connect those two things together and still end up feeling the same way, it's beautiful.

anyways this is basically me just plugging myself like please go read this fic cause i think this confession scene is beautiful !!!!!! i wrote it very well me thinks!!! it's probably the best part of the entire fic and definitely taught me the importance of a good closing scene.

2. i don't need your closure (i have my own)

more like a ficlet than an actual fic, but actually so necessary to how i write going forward tbh (i mean all of these fics are really important parts of my writing journey but like there are specific things that i got from all the fics you know)

this one is SUPER introspective on bo and it really lends to my writing style. i like when characters soul-search a little bit. i tend to lean that way more when putting down fic, thinking about what is logical for a character to feel during certain situations as opposed to the action actually happening around them. when characters really look deeply at themselves and realize why they're doing certain things, or why they're feeling certain ways, that's what is most exciting for me to write as an author. you'll notice that i often overuse this in fics though, with less dialogue/action focused scenes and more like "oh my god what the fuck is happening in my head rn" scenes.

i also am a sucker for best friend relationships. almost every ship i read and/or write for must have a deep friendship i think, before i can even consider seeking out content for them. this isn't to say i don't enjoy a good enemies to lovers, but i love the aspect of friends being there for one another and that transitioning into a deeper connection, into love. there isn't any tagged ship in this fic, but dylan and bo's friendship is at the forefront of it because the comfort that dylan provides to bo changes how he thinks and views things. he and dylan have a strong platonic love for each other, and i think it shines through! the best line in this fic is: We have to go inside now yeah? Don't worry, I've got you. and it perfectly sums up what this fic is. like a warm hug from a friend after a hard day.

3. i didn't just come here to dance: handfeeding scene

handfeeding is one of my favourite tropes in fic and i wish i gave myself more opportunities to write it because the intimacy of it!!!!! being cared for by someone in ways you know you don't need but want to give them anyways!!!!!

i wrote this one into this fic in particular because of the character dynamics and characterization of the two leads. i think this is one of the first fics where i really started to explore that idea, of having my own headcanons for characters, and integrating that into how they interact with others and with the object of their affection especially. in this case, one of the big things i wanted to highlight was jack's big fear of never being enough. he's never been enough for anyone (or so he thinks) and how does that inform his interactions with noah? it certainly tinges them with a sense of desperate connection with the one person who does see him as enough. i feel like all of my characters tend to have something like this (like owen's constant paranoia about not being interesting enough for kent to stick around).

also this serves as a good consent scene for the both of them, both of them sane and coherent enough to say yes to one another. which is always good! consent is necessary and sexy!

4. the boy who sits at the front of the class: breakup/makeup scene

another really underrated and really short one! i never get an opportunity to talk about this one, mainly because i have a lot of fucking fics lmao, and it's one that i released kinda under the radar.

i felt like this scene was needed mainly because i didn't want their relationship to be perfect. it's unrealistic to expect that, especially as a high school relationship. right person wrong time is something i believe in so strongly, and it just wasn't their time after high school going into college. that didn't mean they stopped loving each other though, and i think i say it in that scene that both of them were devastated by it.

you'll also notice the repetition of 3s rule in this scene (p much throughout the entire scene) and that's another trait of my writing. i love using that for dramatic effect and also to really emphasize what is going on. i think it makes it easy to add a ton of detail to scenes without feeling like there's a disconnect with what's actually going on. i mention 3 unrelated moments, but they're all kind of connected by the "there..." thread. great literary technique, highly suggest to all writers!

my favourite line from this fic is: Kent, Kent, Kent. It’s all him in the end.

because it could really be a synopsis for the whole fic and how i view owen as a character lmao. reading through the rest of my owen/kent fics, you'll notice that my owen characterization develops throughout, to really highlight that as one of his key traits.

5. lover of mine (maybe we'll take some time): nail scene in amsterdam

one of my favourite scenes i've written for this fic, mostly because i think it's one of the only ones that perfectly balances the angst, the pining, and the humour of it all. if i had to introduce someone to this fic, i would probably use this scene to do it tbh because it has everything i want to show from it.

funnily enough, this was a scene i started over at least three different times when writing out this fic. truly, i have no idea why it was so difficult, but in general, i find that this one of the most difficult fics for me to write. i think it's because i don't have a very firm grasp on kent's characterization at all, what makes him tick and what not. the au setting does make it a bit easier for me to mold him to whatever i want him to be, but there's a reason i tend to write from owen's pov instead of kent's. i feel like i really understand owen as a character (and you'll find i tend to lean one way in all of my ships in terms of understanding their characters), and with kent, i feel that less so. i wanted this scene to show owen and kent's genuine friendship, and how owen cares for him enough to do things like this with him. owen cares enough to pay attention to the fact that this is what kent wants, and to ask him the truth about what's going on. he doesn't push, because he knows kent well enough to know he'll tell him anyways. i wanted to give the audience an idea of how far their connection goes and how good of a friendship it is. add in a bit of owen clearly wanting to tell kent how he feels about him (spoiler: he's kinda in love), and some humour, and you have a great scene.

i think this scene is also a really good indicator of how kent views owen too. it's a lot of foreshadowing for how they will inevitably end up together, through the dropping of little hints. like really, kent shouldn't want to be so observant of what owen is doing, but he wants to because there's something more than friendship simmering under there. and because he finds he's really good at it.

the vibe is this scene is truly something i want to try to capture in most scenes going forward in this fic. and hopefully i do! the next chapter is great chapter and when i do release it, i think you'll find that a lot of the amsterdam vibes do reflect on it.

#ask #anyways bestie hope you like this monster of an ask #and got a bit more of a view of how i am as a writer lmao #director's cut asks #pls send in more guys i love talking about my fics!

Other M "Rewrite" + Theme Reworking

aka I ramble about Other M rework ideas with no real structure.

aka it kinda turned into a fic with explanation instead of writing.

To begin: Metroid Other M's central themes should not have been motherhood, grief, and Samus' struggle to prove she is not a child and weak.

Other M's central themes should have been grief, a basic look at morality, and guilt.

I will now loosely tie those themes into a rambly half-rewrite, and maybe actually explain those themes better in the future. Definitely in the future. Buckle up, this started as analysis and ended up as... a long rewrite. Or, rather a semi-rewrite of two character arcs.

Samus comes off of the Zebes mission with the baggage of destroying her childhood home, getting the baby killed, and generally seeing herself as a monster for her constant slaughter of creatures. She's struggling with the idea that maybe she is just as bad as the Space Pirates. Nevertheless, she presses on, trying to keep herself from grief because that'll slow her down. It eats at her over the course of the game.

She runs into Adam and the 07th Platoon. Going with the original Japanese script, we still get the outsider line but it really only stings. We get some head butting but it's mostly Samus being overly stubborn and Adam trying to keep her from getting too involved in shady Federation business.

Note: Adam is based on the Manga, Fusion, and Dread characterizations where he really seems concerned for her safety and generally acts like a friend. He comes off as bitter and cold in Other M.

Authorization... how about: Power Bombs, Wave Beam, Speed boost/shinespark, and Screw attack are banned for safety until Adam gets a read on survivor locations. Ice beam and super missile are whenever.

Samus still waits for permission for these until the comm goes off during the Ridley fight, as she's going through the "I don't want to hurt anyone and what if my judgement gets someone killed". She's losing confidence that she's not just a murder machine.

Adam is confused as to why she would do this but doesn't immediately press it until a later conversation.

Exception 1 is the space jump and grapple. Space jump to get over a bridge when the comm is down, Grapple because Anthony would die and screw it, if she doesn't take action this time it will kill someone

Exception 2: Varia. I think Samus is sinking more and more into "it's my fault" while still refusing to stop fighting or show weakness. Which leads to a very unhealthy, "I'm going to push through this without letting myself off" mindset. Adam tries to get her to activate it calmly until he straight up commands her to. Because he doesn't want her dead.

Exception 3: Anything after comms go down (Screw attack, Gravity Suit, Power Bomb).

Glossing over some details, the platoon members start dying. Samus internalizes this as her continuing to bring death to the people around her. Anthony brings up Ian at some point. Samus has yet another reminder of her self-perceived failure.

Deleter is still here because the Federation doesn't like loose ends and doesn't want to risk anyone escaping the situation alive.

We get some actual dialogue between Adam and Samus after the bioweapons plot is revealed (maybe after the Deleter's attack with the robot. This is a rough rewrite.) Adam apologizes if he came off as cold at the beginning of the mission. He mentions he knew about the situation and recognizes he should have told her earlier, but really didn't want her involved in the first place and couldn't reveal anything outright to the other soldiers.

At this point, I think Samus probably has a bit of a negative reaction. Justified, he's keeping secrets, but it's for the safety of the mission.

Undecided what Samus' reaction past this is. She could be even more upset and think he doesn't trust her, or make a bitter comment that people are getting killed and she didn't stop it/is to blame.

Brings up Ian, Adam is like "there was nothing you could have done, you would have gotten yourself killed" and Samus is like "I could have saved him" blah blah she's being a self-sacrificial person because guilt. Hey look the theme.

Adam probably tries to say something but gets cut off. I don't know by what, we're moving on.

Skipping MB encounters (she gets a whole section, oops) we get to Ridley. I don't know how to write this. On one hand, the panic attack makes sense from a trauma standpoint because Ridley should truly be dead. On the other, the way Other M did it says "Samus is trying to prove she's not a child but actually oops, she thinks she's weak." And since we have a different theme (that I keep forgetting about) this needs to be reworked a bit.

Samus completely freezes, and while she initially starts to panic, the breakdown becomes less "no no it can't be" and more "I killed you, I killed a planet and you're back?" And kinda goes into hysterical panic laughter.

This is rough I don't know how to rewrite this.

But I imagine it less crying and just shock

Also internally questioning if any of the slaughter was worth it if this stupid dragon gets to live

Does the suit dematerialize? Idk.

I'm choosing not to have Ridley grab her. Anthony is there still and he immediately notices something is wrong. He attempts to distract Ridley, shouting, and manages to get a plasma shot off before Ridley knocks him off the platform. Unfortunately for Ridley, this gives Samus enough time to go into fury mode and then the normal battle happens.

Anthony is knocked off instead of outright killed because there still needs to be a loophole as to why the Colonel at the end listens. Ridley is also cocky, and decides to brush off a minor threat in order to get back to murdering his longtime nemesis.

Ridley has original Ridley's memories maybe. Not the weirdest thing in this series to happen. Also Samus straight up kills him.

Adam is still cut off before he can really help Samus.

Post-Ridley, Samus is slipping into a spiral of self-hatred, only continuing on at her normal pace out of bitterness. She tells herself that she owes it to the people she's killed (or really, the people she couldn't save) to stay strong. The only thing keeping her from full on apathy is concern for Adam's safety, as well as the survivor she protected from the Deleter's attack earlier: MB.

MB/Melissa is here! Time to talk about her because she's kinda Samus' foil in this. She's still a Federation-made Mother Brain clone because the Federation is dumb. She still goes on her murder rampage but Plot Twist it's not because she's literally just Mother Brain.

I will be referring to Melissa as MB for convenience, but rewrite plot wise it make sense for her to call herself Melissa

MB still begins to develop a "soul" or conscience upon connecting to the new baby Metroid. However, the scientists don't try to brain wipe her due to this alone. MB's conscience recognizes the past actions of Mother Brain and feels guilt due to the slaughter of innocent people at the hands of the Pirates.

MB also notices that the Federation wants to do the exact same thing. She initially tries to reason with them, but recieves criticism from all of the scientists except Madeline Bergman.

Madeline is still MB's "mother" here, but that has less emphasis compared to her trait of being the only one to listen.

Even as the leader of the project, she starts to see the error of the Federation Army's plan.

The other head scientists are all stubborn because plot. Higher up tells them to wipe MB's programming and imprison or kill Madeline. MB snaps, seeing the Federation as foolish. She releases the pirates across the ship, giving them orders to kill the crew and staff, except Madeline.

MB perceives her act of violence as justified. She figures the only way to right the wrongs of the space pirates is to help the innocent. And since the Federation wishes to recreate the pirates, in MB's eyes they are just as much a threat. They must be killed as well.

Back to the current events. MB allows the forces to attack the platoon because They're Federation and They're Bad.

The Deleter kills them instead.

Ridley is also here but is the one thing MB can't stop.

Madeline is still the one who sends out the distress signal. MB doesn't like this, but figures she'll just kill any Federation members who come on board.

MB encounters Samus twice still, and is initially unsure how to deal with her. In the first encounter, she does the "how can I trust you, Federation kill each other" speech while observing Samus. Second encounter, she introduces herself as Melissa Bergman, daughter to Madeline, and explains the program. She says a Mother Brain clone went rogue, and killed everyone in the facility, except herself and her mother. She then reveals that her mother is hiding in Sector Zero.

She warns Samus that there are Metroids there and the Mother Brain clone is fiercely protective of them. Samus promises to get Madeline out safe but says she's going to destroy Sector Zero afterwards.

I should have mentioned that MB is playing up the scared survivor persona and probably mentioned something about disliking her mom's project.

MB casually mentions to Samus something about the metroids being innocent, as most are larva and have not had a chance to be aggressive. Perhaps the Metroids could be used peacefully, like Samus intended with the baby. Samus considers this, guilty that she couldn't save the infant that bonded with herself, but ultimately says they're too dangerous in the hands of the Federation.

She mentions that the CO on board will ensue both Madeline and Melissa return to HQ safely. MB mentions Adam by name, saying he wrote a report against the Metroid program and Metroids themselves, and mentions the Mother Brain copy will target him. Concerned that Adam has already been killed, Samus shifts priorities to find him.

In the meantime, MB heads towards Sector Zero, killing The Deleter/James in the meantime and starting the Bottle Ship engines towards Earth.

MB kills the Deleter because Federation and he's doing the same thing the pirates did.

Samus encounters Adam somewhere between the command room and Sector Zero. He informs Samus that Sector Zero is full of unfreezable metroids, and going in there will get her killed. Additionally, "Melissa Bergman" isn't a real person. She is likely the Mother Brain AI. There is a survivor in Sector Zero, but all of this is probably a trap to get Samus killed.

Samus starts towards Sector Zero. Adam mentions that she's chosen awfully quick to rush into a death trap. She pauses, mentioning that he wouldn't fair much better, and that it's worth it if she can save someone. Things get heated, mostly just Samus being really stubborn, until Adam says something about Ian and not being a Galactic savior.

The tension that's been building the entire time finally causes Samus to break and we get a nice little emotional scene because Character Development Is Good if it makes sense. Does any of this make sense? I don't know! Anyway, Samus recovers and they agree to deal with Sector Zero together, if very carefully. The engines start, and they realize they have to hurry.

Someone write the emotional scene. I'm bad at that.

There's contact from Anthony in here. Don't know how, plot shenanigans. Pre-ending reveal, Anthony is alive and instructed to find out why the ship is moving, and stop it if necessary.

This is because Adam still, in universe, needs to get Madeline out of Sector Zero while Samus takes care of the Metroids, leaving Anthony to stop the ship. Lore wise, Adam has to die before Fusion.

Sector Zero is the final area, and it's mostly dormant except for young larva that can be dispatched by ice beam. Semi-escort mission, because though Adam can defend himself, he is not the one with the ancient space bird suit.

They find Madeline. She and Adam attempt to leave but Oops there's MB. And she has Metroids. MB gets to monologue now and it's basically the lore I gave earlier:

MB spared Madeline because she began to regret the program, and MB killed the entire crew out of belief that they were all evil like the pirates. Samus is somewhat sympathetic, because MB did want peace, but questions why she would claim the pirates are evil and then slaughter a bunch of people herself. MB considers it an act of justice.

She states that the ship is on course to crash into Earth. This is to rid the universe of the Federation. Again Samus notes that innocents will die, and MB says the instant destruction of a planet is more merciful than letting the creatures roam free and eventually spread past the HQ alone. MB is too insane to think clearly. Or misguided. Plot that's why.

After all this, which is frankly a lot of dialogue but it could probably be shortened, MB says something like "if you're wondering why you are here, it's simple. The Sector will detach and relocate elsewhere. My mother will be safe. The Metroids will not be stained by blood. I will make up for the slaughter of their kind before."

As for Samus, MB can't resist a few of Mother Brain's sadistic tendencies and really just wants to kill her. Or test her and see if she is worth sparing.

Adam is here. Yep. It's probably a similar test, less "I want you dead" and more "you despise metroids but didn't want them to be a weapon. Maybe you'll agree that they can be used for peace."

Anyway, final boss. Adam and Madeline are in hiding, which prevents MB from killing Adam outright at the risk of hurting Madeline. Final Boss is either swarms of Metroids or Phantoon. I think Phantoon would be neat but Metroids are cool.

Anyway, the engines stop at some point during the fight, MB is defeated and triggers the self destruct.

I'm not going into detail because this has devolved from an essay to a fic.

Adam dies somehow but also Madeline and Samus are fine.

Ending: Uh Anthony uses political power, Samus threatens to 1 v 30 a squadron to secure safety before that. Epilogue. Grief. Healing. Listen I'll actually try to break down the theme thing sometime.

Other stuff:

Platoon gets a little more screentime.

Less monologuing, do what Fusion did.

I'm sorry this went off the rails.

[bookwyrminspiration]

Idk if you noticed already, but I organized the tags and shattered upside down is now the fic with the most words in the Kotlc tag. While Keeper is a pretty small fandom, with 153k words published that is still incredibly impressive. Depending on how long the story lasts, you might be able to hedge out Passerine. /gen

(And I mean this in a purely astonished way! The fact that you were able to create a long lasting fic that’s over 100k is insane to me!)

I was vaguely aware that it was going to be the longest fic on ao3 soon, I guess I wasn't paying attention to when exactly it happened!!

And thank you!! I honestly loose track of the word count a lot because I'm several thousand words ahead of what is published, so to me the published word count isn't as important as the written word count (which is how I didn't realize it now has the most words, apparently!). Actually now I'm curious I don't actually know what the written word count is atm. Okay just checked and it's at about 165-166k words right now. That's a lot of words! That's about the same length as The Shining by Stephen King (I haven't read it so that means nothing to me but!! that's a comparison!! apparently it's like 450 pages oh wow) Wait hang on I think it's longer than Nightfall--

Also I have to admit I do not know what/who Passerine is. I have...no context for that and don't know what it would take to "hedge out Passerine," but I do know the story will last a while longer! Somehow, I still have a lot more story to tell, I just hope I can figure out how to make it all sound nice. My goal is to finish the au before book 9 comes out, which is November 8th, and i have no idea if that's a goal that'll be really easy to achieve and I'll be done months in advance, or if I'll be scrambling release week trying to get through everything. I should probably update my notes on the story, given that my original plans focused almost entirely on like the first five chapters and I've been just winging it with a general conclusion in mind for months.

once again, thank you!! I did not expect the fic to grow as long as it has, it kinda snuck up with me. I didn't have a final word count goal, but I was comparing it to other fics in the fandom and wondering if I could match that and then...it kinda...just kept going. Honestly I personally find the regular uploading to be more impressive than the length. Like?? I have posted a chapter of the wings au every two weeks since I started on May 7th, 2021. it got a little close in December where I wasn't sure if I'd be able to post being across the country visiting my grandma in hospice, and then the chapter I'm posting this weekend I wasn't sure I'd be able to! I mixed up my days and realized that I was supposed to have it finished by the 14th in order to stay on my preferred schedule, and it was the 14th and I. was several thousand words behind. But! I wrote the entire chapter in like 2 days (though I'm thinking of adding a few scenes now that I look back on it) and am back on track!!

I'm getting distracted but essentially: thank you!! this is really cool to me and I hope to continue to write the wings au and keep it interesting until the story decides it wants to end, but I've still got several mysteries and plot things to get through before that. But wow!! That's a lot of words!!

#apologies for not recognizing the thing you referenced! #but wow this is. this is very cool #I'm not sure what I should even do with this information!! #but it does once again make me want to get this fic bound when i'm done #and then I can see just how thick it would be #anyone who has read the entire wings au can put that as an entire book towards their annual count /lh #if they keep one #as it is. definitely long enough to be one #kotlc wings au #wings au asks #shattered upside down #quil's queries #nonsie

Miya Atsumu || Solita

*Song Scenario | Inspired by Solita by PRETTYMUCH*

PAIRING. Miya Atsumu x you

GENRE. Fluff; A little angst, if you squint?

WARNINGS. Incredibly suggestive, probably sexual innuendos and references, swearing, implications of drinking, angst.. (from my perspective, which probably means nothing because I think I can't handle writing it)

The lavish, vast pool glitters under the sun, surface disturbed by the partygoers splashing around in the water without a care in the world. Atsumu stands at the edge, quickly checking over the various faces but doesn't find you or his brother among them.

"She's not inside." Suna's voice comes from behind him and he looks back to see the middle blocker walking back up to him. His usually neutral expression is disturbed with just the slightest indent between his eyebrow and before Atsumu looks away he catches the slightest twitch in his jaw.

So he's a little worried too. They both know trouble always finds you if you don't find it first. And at a party of this scale, it's an inevitability.

How did they manage to lose you already? You'd all only been here about twenty minutes when Atsumu and Suna decide to refresh your group's drinks and left you with Osamu but the both of you aren't anywhere to be seen now.

Backing away from the pool, Atsumu looks over past the green metal fence that blocks off the pool and its surrounding stone patio from the manicured lawn, crowded with people dancing to the music blasting from speakers that surround the entire backyard.

They'll have to wade in there but it's just as likely he and Suna might miss you entirely if you're in that crush of people. Where's twin telepathy when he needs it?

Suna's already headed over, deciding to try his luck and probably because they have to do something since neither you or 'Samu have answered the multiple texts they've sent asking for your location in this overcrowded fucking mansion.

The only concern is if they're wasting time by looking for you out here, but there's no way you would be inside, in one of the rooms, right? No, not unless you were in real trouble and 'Samu definitely wouldn't let anything happen to you.

So Atsumu follows after his teammate and pushes past the creaky gate to move onto the grassy area of the large backyard. Suna's already found Aran, at the edge of the crowd, and Atsumu walks up to hear him ask if he's seen either you or Osamu.

"Sure, just a couple minutes ago," The tall ace responds, "They should be hear somewhere."

And with that, he salutes them with his drink and moves away towards the set of double doors that lead into the kitchen of the house.

"Do you want to take the left while I go in from the right? Text once we find them?" Suna offers, already starting to head over to one side of the large crowd.

But Atsumu stops him with a hand to his shoulder, "Nah, I think we should just go through the middle. If she's in there, that's where she'll be."

Suna smirks and doesn't respond, knowing 'Tsumu's most likely correct. This time it's Suna following Atsumu as they wade into the mess of swaying bodies, thankfully, not as tightly packed as they would be in a different setting.

It doesn't take them long now, with the confirmation that you're here, to finally catch sight of you. You are, in fact, dead center of the crowd and steadily holding the attention of many as you sway slowly to the music.

As soon as his eyes land on you, Atsumu feels a burn take root and start to grow in his chest. It's not exactly the way your hips move, seductively swinging to the beat, or your arms held in the air as you dance enticingly to the melody, locks of your hair softly flying with your moves and the breeze. It's not even that it's his brother you're with, standing there like an enraptured guardian, holding both your drinks and watching over you while you dance with one of your friends.

What completely combusts Atsumu is that as you dance so prettily, the center of fucking attention with your unconscious sensuality, you're doing so in what is unmistakably his jacket, the material shifting with and sliding over your body, almost covering the racy black bikini you're wearing.

You're dancing there among everyone, yet somehow looking like his personal, intimate show, in the jacket he gave you to wear when you were slightly chilly after a quick dip in the pool but that you'd ended up just holding in your hand instead while you asked him to go grab you a new drink.

Torn between dragging you away from the beautiful spectacle you're making for all the undeserving fuckers to see but not wanting the incredible dream to end, Atsumu watches a little longer. He watches until the song spirals up higher and higher and with every rise he feels like he's falling deeper instead.

A brush against his arm brings him back to the reality of the crowd, but it's only Suna, passing by and moving toward you with a piercing look in his narrow eyes. Before Atsumu can even register what he's doing, he grabs his friend's elbow, yanking him to a sudden stop.

"What're ya doin'?"

Those piercing eyes turn his way, with firm intensity, and the fox-eyed boy responds, "I'm getting some dirt off of a jewel."

"Don't ya fucking dare."

"You're going to want to let go off me before I deck you."

"So what," Atsumu raises an eyebrow, "You're gonna go over and forcibly remove the clothes off a girl?"

With his hand still on Suna's tense arm, Atsumu can literally feel when his friend decides to back down and continues through to the kill, "Yeah, that'll go over real well, especially with her, don't ya think?"

Eyes narrowed on him, Suna bites out a low, angry, "Fuck." before turning away and shoving back through the crowd until it's swallowed him up.

Yeah, he wouldn't want to watch you dance in Suna's jacket either, if the positions were reversed. But you're not wearing the middle blocker's name right now, you're wearing his. And it looks divine on you, as if both he and his name were made simply for you to exist and finally own them.

Atsumu turns back to watch you, moving ever so slightly closer, mesmerized by your movements but even more so by the thought of you being his. He's trapped in the suggestion of the moment, watching you and dreaming, until your eyes open again, only this time on a twirl that ends directly facing him, and your gaze catches immediately on his.

He watches as your eyes widen in surprise for a split second before delight pulls your lips into a wide, joyful grin. He feels like he's been pierced through the heart and he only wants to dig the arrow in deeper. He wants to grab you and take you away from all the eyes watching you and he wants to parade you around in his jacket for everyone to see.

What he does instead is walk up to you, eyes never leaving yours once, with a wide, happy grin on his own face. As he nears, he watches your left hand trace a sensuous path down over your other arm still up in the air, stroking through your hair before brushing briefly and every so lightly against your neck, only to stretch out to him, him. He reaches out when he's finally standing just in front of you, to connect his hand to yours, and gently pulls it to rest on his chest before sliding it up to the side of, and then around, his neck, pulling you flush against him in the process.

All the while, you keep dancing, even as your other hand flutters down from it's summit in the air, landing gently to brush down the back of his hair, before meeting the first and intertwining together at his neck. You keep your eyes and smile on him as he slowly matches your pace and rhythm, moving both with and against you. His own eyes burn back into yours, even his smile scorches, more a smirk now as his hands slide down your arms, leaving a trail of heat in their wake, moving further still until you feel the material around you shift and then his hands are like hot brands, under the jacket you're wearing, on your bare waist.

Your heartbeat picks up, more than it already had when you opened your eyes to see him watching you with that familiar possessive, covetous look on his face. You feel like you're burning while electric currents simultaneously race through you. The music sounds hollow, as if you might faint, so you get closer still and tighten your fingers together briefly in reassurance that you're okay, before loosening your grip again.

Neither of you have looked away since the moment you first caught and held his eyes. It's incredibly overwhelming, this awareness, the delicate bubble you're in with him. And it lasts for an eternal moment, forever seared in your memory.

Atsumu still watches, as you finally break your gaze to close your eyes. Even still, he can see the smile on your face, a small, delicate echo of the happy grin he first received when you saw him. He looks at you, the entirety of his world, and thinks of everything he could and wants to be for you.

It's in that moment he decides that the things holding him back from making this dream his eternal reality don't matter. Dancing together with you amidst the moving crowd, with the sun streaming down on the two of you and the beat of the music wrapping you together in this intimate embrace, Miya Atsumu knows beyond a shadow of doubt, that if you decide to give him even the slightest chance, he'll forever be yours.

Meant to Be Masterlist .. if anyone cares about what fic this scenario might end up a part of...

A/N (moved from above) : So... I planned and started writing this as a Haikyuu scenario unrelated to my SMAU series, instead as part of a bunch of fandom scenarios I have planned inspired by certain songs on my playlist. I also planned and started writing this with a completely different idea for direction it was supposed to go, to a completely different ending. Now...

I'm literally heartbroken because I'm conflicted with what to do with this scenario... do I add it to MTB (it can fit for Pt 2 with some edits) or leave it as an unrelated short scenario? If it's a separate scenario (I do also have a 2nd part / continuation already planned btw) then... do I keep it just an Atsumu scenario (which was unplanned, he wasn't supposed to get so.. close with reader when he found her :/) and let my heart stay broken for the rest of my life, or just decide to make it poly too because it's easier to let everyone have reciprocated love than experiencing the secondhand angst for Suna and Osamu? Like... I don't think it's a secret that Suna comes just before the Miyas' for me but, it's like, just barely sometimes :'( Can I do this to my baby??? Maybe I should just do the same scenario but with different endings for each of them so you can... pick your character/ending??? They can all be happy in their own parallel universes? I want to have a good cry... Atsumu baby, why did you put me in this situation??

Anyways, if I haven't ruined it for you by now, please read and let me know your opinion(s). Please.

A/N.. again (If you ended up reading this garbage) : So this is not the edited version, please don't lynch me over any mistakes or choices. I might come back to edit or even completely overhaul this. I'm literally posting it to get an opinion from an incredible, life-saving, heart-repairing friend.

The quinjet was ready to take off, engine on, Steve behind the wheel. But Y/N wasn't there yet. They'd been holding off on leaving, giving her time to get out and the opportunity to do it without help, but Bucky had been antsy since he'd gotten on the vehicle and realised that she wasn't there.

It wasn't exactly a secret that he liked her, in a way that he hadn't really liked anyone in over seventy years. He'd never admitted it to anyone, not even to himself out loud, but you have to have a certain level of intelligence and basic sight to join the Avengers in the first place, and it wasn't hard to figure out.

Y/N was oblivious to it, rolling her eyes whenever Natasha teased her about 'Bucky's little crush', never taking it seriously. If she'd known that they were really serious about it, she wouldn't have hesitated to make a move. She was inherently forward, had no sense of shame whatsoever, it was common knowledge that she would've said something, at the very least.

"Hey, Y/N, where are you right now?" Bucky spoke into the intercoms, earning wide eyed glances from the rest of the team. They knew that she hated being rushed, hated being babied even more, and the fact that Bucky was doing both was probably about to blow up in all of their faces.

There were obvious sounds of struggle on her end as she answered back with a grunt, "South side, got ten guys on my case. Think I can handle it, though."

"We're ready to leave, Y/N." Bucky grunted, leaning forward in his seat and chewing at his lip. He was met back with a crash and a strangled groan from the assassin, making him shoot up and towards the exit of the ship.

"Bucky, where are you going? She'll kill you if you try to help her-" Tony was standing now, too, worried about his teammate, but figuring that she'd find some way out. Bucky shook his head and pressed the button to open the escape hatch.

"She's going to die if I don't help her, Stark. Keep the engine running, we'll be back in a second." And he was gone with that. Steve closed the hatch, radioing to Bucky to 'keep in touch' as he did so.

Bucky pulled his machine gun from the holster on his back, shooting two guards that were stationed at the front entrance of the Hydra base that they'd sneakily infiltrated, managing to only cause a few minor scenes. He was inside and backed against a wall, scoping out his route to the south side of the building, without wasting a second.

His feet pounded on the metal stairs as he made his way down to where they'd been earlier, where he knew that Y/N still was, and he looked around himself cautiously, gears in his arm turning.

He could hear the fight before he could see it, and he could tell from the noises that Y/N wasn't doing so well. A lot of crashing, thuds, groans mostly from her. The sight wasn't exactly easy to look at either, she was covered in blood, slumped against a wall and kicking her legs wildly while one of the agents held a gun to her temple.

Bucky knew that he had to act fast, and so he shot the agent with the gun without giving away his position, and then proceeded to open fire on the rest of them, trusting in the fact that Y/N knew how to dodge a bullet.

When he was sure that the agents were dead, each one of them crumpled in heaps on the floor, he slung his gun back over his shoulder and ran for Y/N, who let out a relieved sigh upon seeing Bucky. "Oh my God, Buck." She whispered. She wasn't sure what she meant by the words, what she wanted to convey in them, but he seemed to pick up just fine as he wrapped his arms around her shaking and compacted body.

"You're okay, I've got you." He rested his head on top of hers for a second, breathing heavy, just allowing himself to enjoy how it felt to have his body draped over hers. "We've gotta go, okay?"

"I can't run." She said assertively, knowing that there was no way that she'd be able to get up and run like hell, like Bucky seemingly wanted her to. He nodded once, gave her an apologetic smile, and then scooped her up into his arms without another word.

She scrambled to grip onto his black jacket, a gasp leaving her mouth as he picked her up from the floor, flesh arm supporting the backs of her knees and the metal one around her shoulders. He chuckled at her reaction, the way that she white-knuckled the leather of his combat jacket. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna drop you."

"How do you expect me to believe that?" She croaked, trying her hardest to be her usual, sardonic self, but failing miserably as she realised just how fast and hard her heart was beating.

"Because I just saved you from at least ten guys who wanted to kill you within a minute, I'm not dropping you." Bucky replied as he ascended the stairs and she buried her face in his chest, the smell of his cologne relaxing her. He allowed a soft smile to cross his face, bringing his metal hand to her head and almost rocking her like an infant or a small child who had a nightmare.

For Tony saying that she hated being 'babied', she seemed to enjoy it when it was coming from Bucky.

They were back at the ship within a few minutes. Steve had taken off, and Bucky had gone to sit in the back of the ship on his own. Or at least, he'd wanted to sit in the back of the ship on his own, but Y/N was so shaken up and had looked at him like she was a lost puppy when he'd tried to leave her alone, and so he smiled and told her to come with him.

Everyone else had looked between themselves, grinning like mad. "He really likes her." Steve commented and Natasha nodded.

"She really likes him, I'm well aware of that fact." She said.

"I've never seen The Winter Soldier so caring. And, was that - sorry if this seems outlandish - a smile? On Bucky Barnes' face? Surely not." Tony pitched in, leaning back in his chair while his friends laughed.

Meanwhile, Y/N was curled up in a chair, chewing at her fingernails and dabbing at her bloody face with a wet cloth that Bruce had given her the second that she'd gotten on the ship. Bucky watched her, his heart breaking at the way that her hands shook as she brought them to her face, at the way that her entire body shook.

"Hey." He placed a tender and soothing hand on her back, rubbing gentle circles there. "It's okay, you're safe now."

She gave him a wobbly smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and placed her hand over his, allowing him to interlock their fingers. "Yeah. Safe now."

————

She still hadn't left his side, apart from briefly so that she could take a shower. He'd offered to come back to her room with her when she'd hovered around the lounge while everyone else had already dispersed, reminding her that no one was going to hurt her.

She was laying on her bed, hair wet and wearing nothing but a big shirt, while Bucky sat awkwardly on the edge of it, twisting the sheets between his fingers. "You don't have to sit there, you know. I have a sofa, or you can sit back."

Bucky shook his head and looked round at her, she was still visibly shaking, eyes darting around to show just how on edge she was. "It's fine, darlin'. M'fine." His voice was more ragged than he'd expected it to be. "I'm just here to make sure that you're okay."

"Well," She held her arms out, "Come here, that'd make me feel okay." It was a bold move, one that told of her feelings towards Bucky, but she didn't mind much, figuring that he probably wouldn't decline her.

He chuckled, shaking his head at her, but still, kicked his boots off and lay down next to her, allowing her to wrap her arms tightly around his torso and press her cheek over his heart. "Hey, you're okay, sweetheart." He stroked her hair. "There's nothing to be on edge about, yeah? I've got you."

"Yeah. Yeah, I know. Sorry, I don't know why I'm so freaked out." Her breathing was picking back up again, so Bucky shushed her and pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head, something that drove the butterflies in her stomach wild.

"It's okay, baby." The nickname just added to the way that her stomach fluttered, and she swallowed hard to try to forget about it. "Hey, how about I do something that'll relax you, yeah?"

"And what would that be, Barnes?" She smirked mischievously and he laughed at her.

"Lay on your stomach." He removed his arm from around her shoulders, and she looked at him with one eyebrow raised, obviously thinking that he was implying something way more forward than what he was actually implying. "Woah, no, no, no. I give good back massages, metal arm and all."

She laughed, throwing her head back into the pillows at the headboard of her bed. "Oh my God, Bucky. I hate you so much." She breathed out, flipping over so that she was laying on her stomach, back exposed to him.

"Can I pull your shirt up, or?" Bucky whispered, running his hands up and down the back of her t-shirt, and she nodded.

His breath hitched in his throat and he found himself struggling to think straight when he lifted the hem of her large shirt, to show that she was only wearing a pair of black panties underneath. She didn't seem to mind, so he didn't mention it, even though his breathing was hindered as he trailed his hands from the small of her back to her shoulders, thumbs rubbing circles as he did so.

She sighed and could've sworn that her eyes rolled back into her head as she relaxed into his touch, one hand cold and the other warm. She understood what he meant when he said that he was good at giving back massages.

"Feel okay?" He asked softly, swallowing hard. She nodded again.

"My God, Bucky, feels fucking amazing." She moaned, and he hated himself when his stomach flipped upon hearing her. "You're so good at that."

He had to stop when she said that, hands still on her shoulders but unmoving, just sitting still. He couldn't think about anything else other than sex when she was moaning like that, something that he wanted to punch himself for. It was such a tender moment, she was scared and so vulnerable, and all that was going through his brain were those thoughts.

"You okay?" She asked, and when he didn't answer she flipped back over, sitting in front of him. He looked like he'd seen a ghost as his tongue darted out to lick over his bottom lip. She reached a hand out, caressing his cheek gently to bring him back to reality. "Bucky?"

"Can I kiss you?" The words were leaving his mouth before he even knew what to do with them, what they meant and how she'd react. As soon as he realised what he'd said, he had his face in his hands, shaking his head. "Shit, sorry."

"No. No, Bucky, don't apologise. Look at me." She wrapped her fingers around his wrist, prying his hands away from his face. "Yes. Of course you can kiss me."

He furrowed his eyebrows, wondering if what she'd just said was real. She was looking into his eyes so intently, staring at the light blue rings around his pupils, realising how pretty they really were now that she was this close. "Kiss me." She whispered, and Bucky took no hesitation in complying to what she was asking of him.

His lips were on hers, and they were so gentle and soft, gliding against hers effortlessly. He pulled her closer to him with a hand on her back, the other cupping her cheek lovingly. His tongue had soon slipped between her lips, earning a soft little whine from her, as his tongue met hers and they worked out how to move them together in harmony.

She eventually pulled back, breathless, and simply grinned at him before laying back and pulling him with her. They resumed their earlier position, her arms wrapped firmly around his waist, his arm around her shoulders, her head on his chest while his hand stroked her hair. "Relaxed?" He laughed and she smiled and nodded.

"I'll get goin', it's late and you look tired, princess." Another nickname, another flourish from the butterflies in the pit of her stomach. Just as Bucky was getting up to leave, she grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him back to her, snuggling back up to his chest.

"Stay. Please."
