as much as i love traditionally married dreamling - and do i - i also have this bruised softness in my heart for 'what we have is outside relationship constructs, define it at your own peril' dreamling, for 'drifting in and out of each other's orbit with each other as perennial anchor point' dreamling, 'i haven't seen you in sixty years but what's that to an immortal, you are always in my heart' dreamling, 'our lives are not quite one but neither are they apart' dreamling. drop in on me, i am always ready to welcome you. and i will always let you go.
hob as a fixture, a constancy, a hearth, and dream as a wild creature coming in from the cold. it cannot be kept, and you would commit no such sin of trying to, but it can be held, warm, before the fireplace for a while. let it go, and trust that it will come back.
hob as a wanderer, life to life to life, and dream as an ancient, enduring kingdom whose protection is reachable just by closing your eyes. continuance impossible in the waking world but offered as easily as a kiss on the cheek.
there is no keeping a dream, is the thing. and dream does not want to be kept, but he does want to be held, held and let go and held again with those arms always open to him. there is no keeping an adventurer, either, and hob is an adventurer at heart, always ready to see, do, the next thing, but adventurers need a home, too, one that doesn't mind when they come back a little bit different.
go where you need to, when you need to. carry my love with you. and come back to me.
that kind of dreamling.

I am so happy with it.

Tumblr media
Giggles and gasps lighten the morning air as you take those first steps outside. The grass is still wet with morning dew and it dampens the hem of your dress, but you cannot bring yourself to care as the laughter of your children surrounds you.
“You can’t catch me!” Your daughter declares, laughing loudly as her steps quicken on the slick grass.
A quiet smile crosses your face as you watch the scene unfold in front of you.
Your daughter, Violet, continues to laugh wildly as Benedict grabs her from behind, lifting her onto his shoulders. She settles there quickly; having spent a lot of time on Benedict’s shoulders when her little legs wore themselves out from running and exploring.
“My love,” Benedict greets, smiling widely at you, “Did you sleep well?”
“I did until I realised I was alone.”
Benedict casts his eyes upwards, gesturing to the four year old currently busying herself with trying to tidy the permanently messy locks of her father. “Someone,” Benedict emphasises with another glance upwards, “Woke up too early and I didn’t want to wake you.”
Your body warms at the obvious love in Benedict’s voice – for you, for his daughter. Close to a decade being married and he has every capacity to reduce you to a lovestruck fool. It’s perfect, really.
Chuckling, you gaze lovingly at your daughter. “Did you wake your father up?”
She nods; not an ounce of apology on her small face as she continues to mess up Benedict’s hair. “I couldn’t sleep anymore,” she defends, “I’m excited to see Grandma Violet.”
“I’m sure she’s excited to see you too,” Benedict comments, reaching for his pocket watch to check the time. “We’ll have to be setting off soon. Are we all packed?”
You nod, meeting the loving eyes of your husband. “The footmen have everything covered. Where is John?”
Benedict gestures to the overgrowth behind him. “He joined us when Violet wouldn’t keep quiet. He shouldn’t be too far behind.”
“I’ll go in search. Get Violet ready for me?”
Benedict nods, smiling down at you before dropping the first kiss of many to your lips. You watch the pair leave; Violet chattering away about the birds singing in the trees before heading off in search for your eldest child.
“John Edmund Bridgerton,” you call out, voice loud in the quiet garden, “Where have you gotten to?”
“I’m over here,” John calls; his dark brown curls popping up between the rose bushes.
“Shall we head inside? We need to get ready to make the journey to London.”
John smiles, making his way to your side. “You look more like your father every day,” You comment absentmindedly, running a hand through your son’s hair.
John flushes at the compliment; his father was an exceptionally strong man as well as incredibly talented in whatever he pursues. “Thank you,” John replies, reaching for your hand to begin the walk back to your home.
---------
Bridgerton House had always grown violet hyacinths; they perfumed the air, making every inhale sweeter than the last. The door to the Bridgerton London home is opened before you get chance to place your feet on the ground after stepping down from the carriage.
Benedict steadies you as you straighten your skirts whilst trying to keep an eye on your children, making sure they hadn’t fallen out of the carriage. The laughter of your children floating on air has the tightness in your chest relaxing.
You take a moment to stand beside your husband, enjoying the feel of his hands on your waist. It had been so long since a moment alone had been found between the two of you; one of you running after Violet before she scared off another governess. Her stubbornness was to be admired, but it made it hard to teach her the basics in terms of literacy.
“Are you alright?” Benedict asks, noticing your hesitancy.
You smile widely at the love of your life. “I’m fine, my love. I just wanted to be close to you.”
Benedict’s face softens at your confession; he would be the first to admit that he found himself missing you even when he was sat next to you. There were no problems in your marriage but being so busy meant that there was little time for the two of you.
Benedict takes your hand; dropping a kiss to the back of it before turning it over and placing a lingering kiss to your wrist, over your pulse point. You gasp at the intimacy of it, your toes curling at the promise in his eyes.
“Mama!” Violet cries, taking your hand and dragging you through the house in the direction of the portrait gallery with all her might.
You chuckle, turning to Benedict with a helpless look on your face. He holds his hands up, letting you take the lead with your headstrong daughter. “I shall announce our arrival,” Benedict laughs, blue eyes focused on the way his daughter’s slippers slip and slide on the marble tiles of the entrance hall. “John,” He calls, “Would you like to join me?”
Imperceptibly, John takes a step in your direction. An incredibly smart but shy boy from birth, you sometimes worried over his place in the loud, boisterous family of the Bridgertons. “If it’s okay, I want to see where mother and Violet are going.”
“Of course,” Benedict smiles, ruffling John’s hair, knowing how he needed to get used to a new environment before feeling comfortable.
Benedict presses a kiss to your mouth and then to your cheek before taking the steps two at a time to hurry to the drawing room where he can greet his mother and siblings before answering their questions about your whereabouts.
Letting yourself be led through the ornate home of Violet Bridgerton, you can’t help but smile at the determinedness of your daughter. Her little feet stomping away on the marble tiles as she pulls you to the portrait gallery – her favourite place in the whole house bar her grandmother’s knee.
The gallery hasn’t had a new addition to its walls in years; the last painting being of Anthony and Kate on their fifth anniversary. Violet saw it as fitting that their London home had an up to date portrait of Viscount and Viscountess Bridgerton. Anthony had argued, but one look from his mother had him falling silent – knowing a losing battle when he sees one.
Generations of Bridgertons line the walls; their famous blue eyes watching the latest generation walk the halls of their once home. John remains silent by your side as he meets the gaze of the men of which his name is descended; if he feels their pressure at such a young age, he doesn’t say.
One painting catches your eye. A young woman and her husband; his hand is resting on her shoulder as she remains seated. They both stare out of the painting; their eyes filled with the stories of generations passed but utterly silent on the matter.
“Who is this?” Violet asks, effectively distracted by the bright colours of the painting.
“That’s your Great Aunt Billie and her husband,” You comment absently, mind occupied with Billie Bridgerton’s eyes.
“Have we met her?” John asks, hand reaching for yours.
“You have, John. She and the Rokesby clan came to your christening. I doubt you remember, you were so young, my darling.”
John flushes at your use of his childhood pet name. Not even ten years old and he was already growing too old for such things, but you didn’t care – he would always be your darling, your first born, the very boy that made you a mother.
“Where are they now?”
“I suppose they are still at Crake House in Kent. We should have to pay them a visit the next time we visit your Uncle Anthony.”
“Can we?” Violet asks, her Bridgerton blue eyes wide with promise and excitement.
“If your father allows it, I see no problem with it.”
The children seem placated at that. With their hands in yours, you make your way to the drawing room where the rest of the family have gathered. Benedict spies you immediately despite being deep in conversation with Colin and Hyacinth; his body and soul finetuned to your presence – feeling uplifted when you’re beside him, feeling as if he was missing a vital part of himself in your absence.
“Grandma Violet!” Your youngest child cries, launching herself for the skirts of the Bridgerton matriarch. Her small arms barely make their way around the legs of the elderly woman who cannot contain her amused giggle at the exploits of her granddaughter. Instead, she gathers young Violet in her arms, placing her on her knee to get a better look at her.
“You have grown,” The matriarch murmurs, brushing back the dark brown hair of her granddaughter.
“John!” Anthony calls, drawing the attention of his nephew. Releasing your hand, John crosses the room to talk to his beloved uncle; the topic of conversation, you know not but they both look incredibly animated and devoted to the matter.
“Where were you?” A low voice sounds in your ears, making you jump. The voice turns amused as a low chortle escapes your husband’s mouth. “I’m sorry, my love,” he offers in apology as an arm wraps itself around your waist, tugging you closer to him.
“If you must know, we were in the portrait gallery.”
“What drew you there?”
“Your daughter,” You comment, tone amused.
Benedict moves to inquire further but is cut off but the gong signalling that dinner has been served. At once, the family moves as one – all ravenous and desperate to begin their meal.
“(Y/N)!” Colin calls out, catching up to you on the way to the dining room.
“Colin,” You greet fondly, “How is married life?”
“Wonderful,” Colin sighs, “Penelope is… Penelope is wonderful.”
You laugh, elbowing the third eldest Bridgerton. “Surely, you remember the early days of your marriage,” Colin states, “The honeymoon period.”
“It doesn’t leave you,” You reply, catching sight of the love of your life just ahead of you. His head is bent as he reaches for the hand of your daughter; her whole hand wrapped around one of his fingers. It sends your heart into a tizzy as you inhale sharply; the love you feel for Benedict Bridgerton could rival the love of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, of the sonnets written by William Shakespeare himself.
“No,” Colin comments, glancing between you and Benedict, “I don’t suppose it does.”
------------
Dinner with a large Bridgerton crowd was never a quiet feat; conversations flowed in every direction. Societal propriety non-existent as everyone spoke over each other; happy to have the company of their siblings, nieces and nephews, sons and daughters.
“Anthony,” You begin, reaching for your glass as you draw the attention of the head of the family, “When would you next be at Aubrey Hall?”
“Kate, the children, and I travel back in two days. Why?”
“We were in the portrait gallery earlier. Violet was rather taken with a portrait of Billie Bridgerton and her husband, George. If Benedict has no qualms, could we travel with you? I think Violet would like to meet them.”
Anthony beams; rather liking the idea of bringing the Rokesby’s back into their lives once more. “I must admit that I haven’t travelled to Crake House in a long time. What a terrible nephew I must seem.”
Violet frowns, picking at the food on her plate. “What a terrible sister-in-law, I must be. It must be close to a year, probably longer since I’ve seen Billie and George. Longer since I’ve seen Edward and Cecilia.”
“That does it,” Anthony declares, “We shall all travel to Aubrey Hall before dropping in on Crake House.”
Meeting Benedict’s eyes across the table you smile at the clear affection written on his face. “You have no objections do you, my love?”
He shakes his head. “Never, my love.”
Turning your attention to Anthony, you nod your affirmation. “Should we write in advance of leaving here?”
Anthony wipes his mouth with his napkin. “I’ll send a missive with the morning messenger; if I tip generously then there shouldn’t be an issue.”
“I’m sure they won’t mind,” Violet adds absently, “I just can’t believe I’ve left it this long. I’m so rarely in Kent and they never journey to London.”
Colin reaches to his right, placing his hand on top of his mother’s. “They will more than understand. Aunt Billie was father’s sister after all. I think even Aunt Billie finds it hard to return to Aubrey Hall.”
“Then it’s decided,” Benedict smiles, “We shall journey to Aubrey Hall and get settled there before descending on Crake House.”
“Do you think Gregory would like to join us?” You ask, thinking of your youngest brother-in-law.
“He’s in his final term at Oxford,” Colin replies, “He’s sitting all number of exams right now, I don’t think he’ll have the time.”
“A shame,” Anthony comments, thinking of his youngest brother and the stress he must be under, “But I’m sure he can complete the journey in the summer.”
“He always was Aunt Billie’s favourite,” Benedict states darkly. You raise your eyebrows at your husband in question. “Gregory struggled with the pronunciation of some plants when he was a child; Aunt Billie thought it was adorable,” He explains, sounding far off as if trapped in a memory of his youth.
Smiling widely at your husband’s tone, you coo, “I’m sure Violet will be her new favourite when we explain what inspired our visit.”
Dismissing all social expectations, Benedict rounds the table, reaching for your hand, pressing a long kiss to the back of it before stating loudly. “You, my love, are a genius.”
“It has been said before,” You laugh, watching your husband return to his seat with promises of the night alight in his eyes. His eyes remain bright as he gazes at you over the rim of his wine glass, no longer paying attention to the conversation pertaining to the history of the Bridgertons and Rokesbys. Instead, his gaze remains fixed on you as he thinks of all the good you have brought to his life – loving him, marrying him, bearing his children. His love for you is endless, and he’ll spend the rest of his life proving that to you.
--------
Crake House was just as grand as Aubrey Hall. The Rokesby’s gaining the favour of the monarch in the seventeenth century leading to an earldom and a rather large estate that bordered on the Bridgerton’s at Aubrey Hall. From then, the two families had been intertwined – as close as two families could get.
“It’s very big,” John comments quietly to Benedict as they leave the carriage.
“Don’t let that intimidate you, John,” Benedict says, “There’s nothing to be worried about.”
As Benedict finishes his sentence, the door to Crake House is pulled open by a strong hand. Deep blue skirts are the first thing you see, and you know that Billie Rokesby nee Bridgerton has arrived.
“Bridgertons!” A feminine voice cries, “I have Bridgertons on my doorstep once more!”
“Billie,” Violet sighs, a fond smile on her face as if the sound of her sister-in-law’s voice has transported her back to times long thought of as memories.
“Anthony Bridgerton,” Billie admonishes as she hurries down the stairs, her elderly frame not a hindrance to her speed whatsoever. “How long have you taken residence in Aubrey Hall? How long has it been since you came to see me?”
“Aunt Billie,” Anthony murmurs, “I don’t suppose you could ever forgive me.”
Billie Rokesby nee Bridgerton eyes her nephew; looking him up and down before taking his face in her strong hands. “Are you well, my boy?”
For a moment, tears shine in Anthony’s eyes as he is reminded of his departed father. He nods wordlessly; trying to get a grip on the feelings rushing through him at the love that emanates from Billie. “I’m well, Aunt Billie.”
Billie nods, stepping back, clearly happy at the information offered by Anthony. She casts her shrewd gaze over her brother’s family; happiness alight in her eyes as she takes sight of your daughter, hiding behind your skirts.
“Who do we have here?” She asks, stepping closer to Benedict and yourself.
“You met John when he was just a babe in arms, but Violet is our youngest,” Benedict introduces, an arm wrapped loosely around your waist.
“Violet?” Billie gasps, dipping at the waist, “Violet Bridgerton, it is an honour to meet you.”
Violet giggles from where she has her face hidden in your legs. You reach down, tapping her on the shoulder. “Come now, sweetheart. Let’s say hello.”
Violet peeks her face out of your skirts, her blue eyes meeting the kind, aged ones of Billie. Violet curtsies, remembering her manners despite her age. “I saw your painting at Grandma’s house.”
“Which one?” Billie asks gently, eyes flickering to the Bridgerton matriarch. “Please tell me it wasn’t the one that Edmund commissioned as an anniversary gift for George and myself.”
Violet Bridgerton covers her mouth to stem the laughter that threatens to bubble over. “The very same.”
Billie huffs, turning to you, “I was six months pregnant, and Edmund thought I would want nothing more than to sit for a whole day with nothing to keep me company.”
“I think you look wonderful,” Your daughter compliments, tripping up on her pronunciation of ‘wonderful’.
Billie’s eyes shine with happiness, “Thank you, my dear.”
“I think our guests might like some tea,” An exasperated but fond voice calls from the doorway. Billie’s face softens at the sound of it; she turns to her husband, finding him watching her with a loving smile on his face.
“They aren’t guests, George. They are my family, and by marriage, your family.”
“All the same, I’m sure they would like something to drink and to rest a little.”
Billie pouts, knowing a losing fight when she saw one. You take in the sight of the pair; their hair had greyed over time, their face becoming wrinkled but their love – it was so palpable, it could be felt in every aspect of their conversation and every expression they sent each other.
Billie and George manage to wrangle the whole Bridgerton clan into their drawing room with promises of food, tea and stories of their mother’s youth. Violet pales at such a promise but Billie’s hand on her arm steadies her.
Your children, John and Violet, join their many cousins on the carpet. They all sit cross legged, eyes intently focused on the elderly couple sitting on the pale green couch. Billie gestures animatedly as she begins one of her many adventurous stories. George leans further back into the cushions, happy to let his wife regale his extended family with the very story of how they had fallen in love. A story told many times, but a story he would never tire of hearing, especially not from his beloved wife’s lips.
You watch all of this from where you sit, perched on the window seat. You smile at the sight of Anthony, Colin and Hyacinth watching Billie with nothing short of wonder written on their faces as they are reminded of the aunt that had explained the way of the land before they had truly understood what it meant to be part of a family with such a large responsibility.
Benedict joins you on the window seat, crossing his legs at the ankles as his heart sings at the sound of his children’s laughter. Silently, he reaches over to take your hand in his. He rests your tangled hands on his thigh; needing you close for a reason he cannot seem to find the words to explain.
“I love you,” You whisper, needing him to hear the words that have begged to be released since you had rolled up to Crake House.
“I love you too,” Benedict responds, his hand tightening around yours.

Don’t trope me into this
Thank you for tagging me @hermitreunited! 
Rules: Bold whichever trope you like most (or hate the least, if you’re not a huge fan of either) of the following pairs:
Slow burn or love at first sight? (I prefer slow burn, but I do love me some love at first sight too. Depends on the pairing I guess, because I love it for some pairings more than others, but I am always down for slow burn)
Fake dating or secret dating? (Love this trope so much! One of my fave)
Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers or enemies to friends to lovers? (This is such a hard one, cause I love them all, but looking back at my fave fics, I guess it has to be this. But all are good!)
Oh no there’s only one bed or long distance correspondence? (How can I possibly resist the longing?)
Hurt/comfort or amnesia? (I am such a sucker for both!)
Fantasy au or modern au? (I really enjoy reading about a totally new and unique world, especially merpeople and medieval)
Mutual pining or domestic bliss? (This might be my favourite trope ever! Angsty but with the sweet reassurance of a happy ending)
Smut or fluff? (I am always happy to read fluff! I do really enjoy smut though, but I need it to be heavy in the feeling department)
Canon-compliant or fix-it? (Do I have to choose?! I might slightly lean towards canon compliant, but I also need fix its to be able to live through the pain of having ships with one dead part)
Reincarnation or character death? (Because I love pain haha, but reincarnation is also one of my favourite tropes though!)
One shot or multi-chapter? (Always! I love one shots, but when fics are amazing (which they usually are) I need them to last forever)
Kid fic or road trip? (I just want my ship to be happy and married and have the perfect life with the perfect child (why cant one part of the ship just stay alive damn....looking at you Dave). I have actually not read a lot of road trip, so I might be very biased)
Sci-fi au or magic au? (I have not read a pure magic au, but most of my fave fantasy au contain some magic, idk if that counts?)
Arranged marriage or accidental marriage? (So much of this in fantasy/medieval and I love it! Angst with happy ending)
Time travel or isolated together? (Well, what can I say, its angsty and have so much story potential!....But most of all I am just crying over Klaus and Dave soooo....)
High school romance or middle-aged romance? (Most of my fave characters/ships are middle-aged so.....)
Neighbours or roommates? (Despite knowing there are a lot of roommates fics out there, I have magically not found that many. I think it might be because my ships are usually a bit older so they would have the money to have their own place...)
Body swap or genderbend? (I don't really read genderbend, but I can enjoy body swap sometimes)
Angst or crack? (I just enjoy breaking my own heart, what can I say?)
Apocalyptic or mundane? (Idk, I love TUA, and I was obsessed with the Walking Dead a few years ago, so that must mean something right? But fic wise I like mundane a bit more, but this is a really hard choice!)
(I am really starting to see that angst with happy ending is my jam)
This was really fun!
I am tagging (but only if you want to): @fanthings  @roxannetheillfigure  @winterfalconx  @acefuckingnerd and @anglophile-rin
Anyone that wants to do this is ofc welcome to do so!

WGM! with Kang Daniel
(in an au where wgm didn't get cancelled :((( forgive me it's 1am and i've been watching too many wgm vids)
you're an idol in a group with relative success in korea. your label decides that to gain popularity for your group and yourself, you're going on a reality show-- We Got Married
You agree knowing that most of the show is scripted and it's good for your image
on the first day of shooting, the writers just tell you your new husband is also an idol and you're around the same age
you're brought to the Seoul central park and told to find certain boxes hidden around the park. the boxes contain items that will be a clue to your husband.
you find the first box behind a bench with packs of gummy candies inside
the second box is behind a tree, holding a stuffed apeach toy
the third box has a REAL LIFE KITTEN so smol and all black and you can hold him in one hand huhu
all the clues leave you pretty nervous bc you have an idea of who it is but you dont wanna get your hopes up bc uhm if it's rly the person ur thinking of ur gonna DIEEEEE
and just in time, waltzing down the path ahead is kang daniel, looking dashing in a simple tshirt and jeans and you want to simultaneously melt into a puddle and spontaneously combust bc OHMYGOD UR SHOOK
you've never actually talked to daniel besides brief introductions and finding out you two are the same age but he's super friendly and always recognizes you
he hands you a bouquet of flowers and you both kinda awkwardly laugh bc of the whole friends but not rly close dynamic and also bc ur kinda secretly in love w him lol i mean
but he sees the kitten ur holding and just starts cooing and asks to hold him and u just DIE FROM CUTENESS but you both get more comfortable bc of him
apparently it's a wedding gift from the crew so u two can keep him but daniel's dorm doesnt allow it so you keep him (and dan names him sebastian :((( )
ur first date is a picnic in the park that u prepared!!! u brought sandwiches and drinks and open the pack of gummy candies earlier
you two talk about your activities-- your new album is coming up with songs you wrote, and daniel's doing mc-ing on music shows while promoting
generally you two talk a lot and the conversation switches from light to serious to funny again, and you get super comfortable
eventually you two go on more dates (occasionally with ur baby sebastian) and get really close and even get a "house" for the show. you move in there since you live alone and daniel goes over for shoots
daniel is the flirtiest person ever??? he's a natural at skinship, is super straightforward, says the sweetest things and is super caring. what a husband. he calls u kid even tho ur the same age and he acts like a literal child but he gets super protective and always looks out for you
u just enjoy it while u can, but ur always painfully aware that it's just for the show, so u try to ignore those growing feelings
but after you "move in" to your shared house, you get sooo much closer. you literally fall asleep in his arms (even tho you wake up later when he moves around in his sleep), he brings his cats over from busan, so basically when he's not around you're just a cat lady
you teach him to clean and cook and he does those things like reach things you cant and clean the cat litter box and tuck you into bed. UGH DOMESTIC DANIEL IS SUCH A DREAM
while he's promoting you visit his dressing room backstage and when you have a comeback he always goes to your group's dressing room too and your members tease you both for it but he treats you like a best friend and it's just the greatest thing in the world but u keep reminding yourself it's scripted and he's just a natural flirt cries
the day comes when you have to do your wedding photoshoot (if you haven't watched wgm photoshoots it's the cutest shit istg i love). you're super nervous because you and daniel are going to be in a more formal setting for once? it just feels so unnatural and it just contributes to that growing feeling gnawing at your gut reminding you it's scripted
but daniel eases your anxiety before the shoot by giving you a pep talk and bringing the cats. he says he's sure you'll turn out pretty no matter what anyway
you change into a floor-length ball gown and get your hair and makeup done. when you step out, his jaw drops and for once he has nothing to say. daniel himself looks incredible in a red velvet coat and black slacks, looking very prince-like.
once he finds his voice he can't stop calling you beautiful, his eyes never leaving you, and you feel so exposed because he's never looked at you so much????
once the shoot starts the director tells daniel to put his arms around you from behind. he's so close you can smell his cologne, and feel his breath on your exposed shoulder.
there's a kissing shot!!!!!! and ur abt to die!!!! it's just like a small peck on the lips but you have to hold it for the photo and daniel gets rly close with no hesitation an ur sh00k so hard you forget to breathr because ohmygod he's so beautiful
he stares at your lips and you reeaaaally wanna kiss him full on but that would be weird and uncalled for so you do more shots where you look at the camera instead of him but you feel him looking at you the whole time
and the next scene is on a couch and you're both in white button down shirts, only you're in short shorts. the scene is so intimate it makes you shy, not to mention daniel with his front button down looks breathtaking and you feel like dying
things get even more intimate than before, as daniel has his hand lightly on your stomach as you lie down beside each other on the couch
you've both cuddled in bed before for the show but the mood is so different???? like before it was light and bubbly but now it gets hot and sexy which is daniel's deadliest weapon
you cant help but feel turned on by the way daniel looks at you now, like he's about to eat you up, but lovingly
after that photoshoot everything changed
suddenly Daniel became more touchy and flirty even off camera when you were just hanging out
he got your number and you texted often, usually until one of you fell asleep. he's still the same teddy bear, he's just around more often, and you like it but ur scared because it makes you fall harder
you finally cant take it anymore and ask him if what you are is real because you need to set boundaries!!!
"kang daniel you better not fucking play with me is this just for the show or what because I cant deal with not knowing if you're being geniune!!! forget the cameras and the fans and the industry, i need to know what you feel for me because i definitely feel something for you!!!!!!!"
"y/n.... it took me a long time to realize this but... i definitely feel the same way. im comfortable around you, we have so much in common, and you're extremely attractive??"
DIESSSSS
"honestly, the way you make me laugh, cheer me up and support me wholeheartedly, helping me open up about myself more, no one else could have done that. you're so special to me, y/n. i cant imagine being with anyone else, whether through the show or not."
this made you extremely happy and you two started dating officially but in secret, with the support of your teams
the chemistry on set with you two became more palpable and viewers were noticing with ratings skyrocketing. you had become joined at the hip, especially as the show was the most time you got to see each other.
eventually after the season ended, you went public with the relationship and finally got to go on dates without cameras around:)

Yes, you're married to all three. Good luck~
k so here’s how a day in my foursome marriage goes

guys okay so i watched ordinal scale and im literally dying. like i stepped out of the theatre and my hands were SHAKING!! that’s just how good the movie was!!! but i can’t express all my feelings towards the movie in such a small text post like this, so im gonna go full-on sao trash under the read more. feel free to click on it if you want my opinion on the movie!~ (will contain spoilers ofc lmao)
okay so i wanna start by firstly saying that ordinal scale is a straight up 10/10! i would literally not change anything about the movie. it was perfect - the characterisations, the action, the animation, the music, the story, the pacing, it was all perfection!!!! so now onto the actual story itself…
i LOVED the augma!!!! the whole concept of it being a connection between vr and reality was amazing imo, and will definitely influence technology in the future! also the fact that it also had a full dive function was a rlly well thought out addition that was just enough of a twist to surprise me! plus the augma was best exhibited in a movie environment - the fx sounds were absolutely stunning, and left me awe stuck as the clang of swords rang through the cinema! i myself felt nervous as kirito and asuna versed the bosses from their past, and got chills down my spine if they tripped (rip kirito)
this also leads me to asuna’s character development in the movie. i want to thank the producers and kawahara-sensei so so much for giving asuna as big a role as she played in the movie!!! i know that kirito is the overall protagonist, but allowing asuna to grow as well made me happy enough to cry aaa… and i felt that the way that kawahara-sensei dealt with her ptsd was also really thoughtful and well handled. i know that losing her memories was a big part of why she was suffering, but it was obvious that she had demons from her past that began to eat away at her when she was wounded in ordinal scale. her nightmares were physically heartbreaking to watch, and seeing her cry without kirito being able to help her ruined me tbh… but im just so glad that she became so much stronger for it!!!
this also leads me to express how mature kirito and asuna’s relationship is becoming!!! no longer are they the love-struck teens who can’t keep their hands off each other. they handle issues in such a responsible way, and they know each other better than themselves tbh!!! when asuna dropped that tea cup in alo, kirito knew that she would be able to get through it in her own way, in her own time, and he knew that she had that power! also asuna cares about kirito’s health so much - making sure he’s eating right, checking up on him - just like a real long-term relationship couple. domestic fluff hurts me in the best way jkhljk
i also loved the present that he got for asuna!!! i very much doubt that it was an engagement ring as i have heard people stipulate, but im 100% sure it’s a commitment ring!!! and the romantic date under the stars where they shared a tender kiss… aaAA I DIED!!!
one thing im also so glad for was the role that sinon was given!!! im honestly so happy that she wasn’t removed to the sidelines and made a background character. although she wasn’t a sao survivor, the way she held her ground against sao bosses, and the level 100 boss was outstanding, and was very true to her character - she would defeat any enemy to strengthen her heart, and the fact that she was given the opportunity even in an ar like ordinal scale was a wonderful choice!!
now onto the whole ‘levels that weren’t played’ situation. i think it was rlly insightful into where progressive might take us! we now know the level 91 and level 100 bosses, and having defeated at least one of them in ordinal scale, im certain that the same could be done eventually in progressive. it also showed how sao could have gone imo! the design of the final boss was AWESOME and their attacks were worthy of praise as the ‘final’! ofc they had to fit the fight into a movie, but i would love to know how exactly a boss like that would be defeated over a proper time span - at least hours would have to be dedicated to beating them tbh! and the actual 100th level itself had such beautiful scenery! i was really curious to see more of the world from that level, but im sure that will eventually come into being. the bridges and lakes were so glistening and pretty oh my gosh…
but man that scene with asuna dealing the final blow with the spirit of yuuki by her side as she performed mother’s rosario made me cry!!!! YOU CANT JUST DO THAT??? MY HEART CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH EMOTIONAL STRESS!!!! I WAS SHAKING ASUNA LOVES YUUKI SO MUCH AAAA
ALSO THE SWORD THAT KIRITO GOT FOR BEATING THE 100TH LEVEL!!! WTF IS THAT!!!! IT WAS SO COOL YET SO OP!!!! I WANT THAT SWORD OMGGG!!!!
that aside, now onto yuna! I LOVED YUNA! she was such an amazing character, and proof of what could happen to ai’s with enough technological prowess. her singing was pretty, and her love for asuna made me laugh - especially seeing kirito’s reaction to her kissing her LMAO! she was also so sweet and selfless, only wanting to allow others to enjoy the life she had lost to sao, and make her father happy again… her connections between sao and ordinal scale were very believable, as she and eiji were both in the game, and she was the product of a quite realistic struggle of a father who lost the one he loves most… the way he went about making her was unethical, but it was understandable enough to feel pity for yuna. also her singing voice was amazing, and her version of smile for you was so nostalgic and sentimental - took me right back to the original sao… :’) plus her relationship with eiji was so so cute!!!! aaAA!
i myself thought that eiji was an amazing character!!! his motives to inflict sao-level fear into ordinal scale were understandable, as the loss of a friend is very hard to deal with alone. but man, when he broke klein’s arm, I WAS SO SHOCKED! like this boy is SUPER fit omg lmao! poor klein…. ; v ; but i do agree that his means of getting revenge for those who did not recognise him during the sao incident weren’t right - meaning he was a believable antagonist. he must have felt like he went through sao for nothing, if to not be mentioned in the sao archives, and this would therefore spark hatred, but hurting others is just as bad… that’s why yuna’s father was also to be pitied… he thought his daughter deserved to be recognised for her life, and therefore becoming a vrmmorpg ai diva would gain her attention, but it was only fuelling her father’s fantasy, which was not an ideal dream to have. but he eventually realised the fault of his ways and moved on, which i think was great development for him - to not follow the path of kayaba and instead continue to live life the way he used to for yuna… so sweet….
the way that kirito cared for asuna when she lost her memory was so lovely tbh! he was with her the whole time, supporting her in the ways he knew how, and even taking her to the doctors??? like what a good boy!!!! he always did those subtle things to show her support, and she knew it and was thankful for it (like reading her diary to ensure she remembered him, at least). i just want them to get married and love each other forever is that too much to ask gkfkddk
ALSO THE FAMOUS BOOB SCENE!!!! okay i admit i yelled when kirito kissed asuna and layed on her chest. IT WAS JUST SO PRECIOUS AND HE CARES FOR HER SO MUCH!!!! SHUT UP OH MY GOD!!!!
basically overall my kids have grown up so much and they continue to grow even now! the story was so original and breath taking, even inside the sao franchise, and the characters were the same lovely faces, yet they have developed so much to overcome their trauma and live every day the best they can. the music was masterful, the animation was brilliant, and i just couldn’t believe they fit so much into 2 hours yet make it not rushed, and squeeze the most out of every moment they could! seeing my children on the big screen was enough to make me cry, and i just want them all to be happy, and live life for themselves and each other, like the little family they are!!!
thank you a1 pictures and madman for allowing me to see this wonderful movie with my own eyes in a real cinema, and once again rekindle my love for the best series ever made! gosh sao is literally my life source and im still shaking tbh after the announcement of season 3 aaaa

Also the other idea is that essentially all this time in most aus where theres the 1p and 2p usuks, ive seen them as having a polyamourous relatuonship of sorts. Like in that spades au where allen and arthur are queens and get together i see ollie and arthur being really really close friends and allen and alfred having a lot of sexual tension. And like in the canonverse au i see ollie and arthur acting romantic together and like best friends so like theyll kiss and cuddle and hold hands and share secrets but they dont often have sexual relationships between them, like only either if theyre putting on a show for the americas or if theyre just a little lonely and need some cuddling and a helping hand. +equal mutual view of each other -sometimes fluctuates away from a relationship And like ollie and allens relationship is really sweet because allen takes really good care of ollie and ollie is all over him romantically and sexually. They are big on their pda and supporting each other and trying to grow as people. +adoring of each other -sometimes dont see eye to eye Allen and alfred have a relationship where at first there seems a lot stopping them from liking each other but in reality theyre really close. They could tell each other anything and though theyre rarely seen to be affectionate to one another they turn to each other when theres trouble or they just need to be together. Lots of compromise: veggie burgers at barbeques and a 1:1 ratio of disney films and horror movies on movie night. +complete trust and freedom to tell each other anything -sometimes have trouble expressing how they feel Allen and ollie are the sweetest relationship ever omfg theyre both overflowing with love and theyre really public about it and theyre not afraid to show how they feel. They have a very domestic fun filled life so like trips out to waterparks and then getting takeaway and watching a tv show together and having pillow fights. Theyre both super subs but surprisingly ollie turns into a bit of a little controlling minx because he just adores putting all his attention on Alfred. +caring and supporting -sometimes more platonic than either would like Arthur and alfred have an intimate relationship but it does have its faults. Theres a lot of doubt through it and though they have their moments where theyre madly in love and its obvious to the world, arthur can sometimes be really hard to deal with and alfred is distant sometimes with work and power. They really want to make it work but sometimes they just cant deal with one another. Theyre the best team together but when they fight they know exactly how to hit the others heart hard. +passionate intense emotion when theyre together in the right place and right time. -lack of communication Arthur and allen (legit my fav pairing rn) they have a deep unspoken love. They rarely say it to one another but they both know theres something sitting heavy and comforting in their hearts for one another. When they make love theyre so close and connected and alive that therea no telling where the boundaries between them being separate being are. Theyre incredibly intimate and its a wizened gentle kind of love where they both know enough pain that theyre careful but that being too soft with one another is never enough and they just keep coming back to one another +they know each others souls too well -they are sometimes both too scared of losing each other that they hesitate when they need to show the other what theyre feeling. ·arthur sometimes gets secretly down when he sees how well alfred and ollie get on ·alfred can be very greedy ·ollie doesnt like not having attention for tok long because he really cant contain all his love for the others ·Allen really struggles to keep up with them all when they go out on double dates sometimes ·they all love sleeping together ·alfred and arthur are married and ollie and allen are married but they all consented to having a polyamourous relationship after they found they worked better together.
