Horse Girl - LN4

High school sweethearts Lando and Y/N are very in love (she also happens to be Flo's best friend and they met through their yards) (any words you don't understand are probably just unimportant horsey terms dw about it) (also idk anything about flo's riding journey, so i made it mirror mine)

Lando Norris x reader

2.3K

"Flo," Y/N called as she appeared at the stable door. She had Gismo's bridle over her shoulder and her riding hat already on her head. "Think I borrow your martingale?"

Flo left her brush on her horses back and turned towards her friend. "I have conditions."

"Give them to me."

Flo held out her hand, checking things off on her fingers. "You clean it for me at the end of the week, you muck out for me tonight and we go on a hack."

Y/N let out a sigh. "I'm going out with Lando tonight," she said.

Being in a long distance relationship with an F1 driver wasn't easy. Y/N had to stay in England to take care of Gismo and Sooty while Lando was living in Monaco and travelling the world.

When Y/N could, she got somebody to look after the horses and spent a week with Lando in Monaco. When Lando could, he spent the week at Y/N's, visiting his family and watching her ride.

Y/N tried to spend as much time over the summer and winter breaks with him. But this year Y/N began competing Gismo. Lando travelled with her when he could during her competitions. He always had his camera with him, posting her on the jpg account.

Lando and Y/N had been friends for a bloody long time. When Flo started riding lessons, she was stuck behind a girl on a fat little pony that refused to do more than a walk. When their lesson activity had them riding side by side, Flo and Y/N became fast friends.

They went from a weekend lesson together to being at the yard every single day. They loaned the same horse, Y/N riding him for half of the week and Flo riding him for the other. Most of the time they'd be there on the same day, mucking out his stable together and cleaning his tack together. On Flo's day's to ride, Y/N was the one who sorted the jumps and picked up the shit.

When they were younger, when they'd spend all day at the stables, Y/N would sleep over at the Norris house. Flo lived closer to the yard so it just made sense.

Staying at the Norris house meant meeting Flo's big brother. Y/N had heard stories of him before, stories of his karting and his dreams of being in F1.

And then Y/N met Lando. He was the kind of boy who, when Y/N slept over, he wouldn't leave them alone. He was the annoying big brother that stopped by to make a comment on the film they were watching, steal some of their snacks and run off to play his PlayStation.

When they were teenagers, Y/N fifteen and Lando seventeen, things changed. He kept on with that whole annoying big brother image until he was around fifteen. And then he didn't care about teasing the girls - he was too busy winning in F3.

But at seventeen, he started to see Y/N a little differently. She was fifteen, almost sixteen when she watched him win around Silverstone. When he saw her afterwards, he saw her in a new light. Maybe it was that post win haze. But no, because the feelings didn't go away.

Lando waited two and a bit years before he made a move. He was in F2, then, waiting to take his place on the McLaren F1 team. Y/N and Flo were show jumping at the lower levels and Flo was Y/N's show groom for when she tried her hand at eventing.

Lando came up with every excuse in the book to join Y/N and Flo when they went eventing. He offered to drive the trailer for them, offered to groom and tack up Sooty for her. Of course, Lando had no idea what he was doing when it came to grooming and tacking up.

Flo was heavily judging her brother, but she let him come with them. He stood by the trailer, feeding Sooty mints while Y/N and Flo tacked up.

Before Lando entered F1, he knew he had to make his move. Y/N had agreed to help Flo with her horses for the night while she was off doing something unknown. It was November and Lando had just turned 19. It was now or never.

Lando made his way down to the stables. It was dark and freezing, the stables lit by floodlights. Y/N had mucked out Flo's horses and had moved onto hay. Her own horses hadn't yet been taken care of; she could deal with them once she was done with Flo's horses. Lando walked across the yard, trying to avoid getting mud on his shoes. "Y/N?" He called, looking from stable to stable.

Y/N emerged from a barn. She was in her black riding pants, mud splashed up the side. The mud disappeared under her coat and she wore a knitted beanie on her head. "Lando? What're you doing here?" She asked as she walked out of the barn with hay in her arms.

Lando let out a laugh when he saw the mud up her side. "Did you fall off or something?"

She let out a laugh as she threw the hay over the stable door. "Yeah, Sooty decided there was a gremlin hiding in the corner of the arena and freaked out," she answered as she bolted the stable door shut.

With Flo's horses done, Y/N started looking after her own. As she mucked out, Lando talked to her and gave Gismo attention. "So, McLaren, huh?" Y/N asked as she moved Gismo away from the stable door. "You excited?"

"You know it, baby!" Lando cheered. But his cheeks flushed with embarrassment and he scratched at the back of his neck. "Are you gonna come to any of my races?"

"Yeah I'll go with Flo."

But that wasn't what Lando meant. He cleared his throat and rocked on his heels. "What if Flo doesn't go to any? Will you?"

Y/N stopped and put her broom against the stable wall. She crossed her arms over her coat and turned towards her best friends brother. "What are you trying to say, Lan?" Because there was clearly something he wasn't getting across.

Lan. He loved it. He loved when Y/N called him Lan. He somehow went even more red as he looked at her. "I want you to come to my races with me, whether Flo is there or not."

Y/N's eyes went wide. "Oh holy shit, Lan. I'd love to." She looked back at Gismo. "But I can't. Not when I've got these guys."

"Let me take you on a date then, before I go."

That was five years ago. Now, everybody was waiting for the couple to get engaged.

They were in the process of trying to move in together, but that meant Y/N moving the horses with her. Trying to find a stables just outside of Monaco that wasn't over the top expensive seemed too be an impossible task. Lando was happy to pay any amount of money to have his girlfriend and the horses there with him.

But Y/N didn't want to do that. She didn't want to have to rely on Lando to pay for everything. She was going to make it to Monaco, to be there with him, on her own.

Until then they were stuck with the odd date night whenever Lando could come back to England. If Y/N could, she paid somebody to look after Sooty and Gismo while she went to Monaco or to the odd race.

"Is he meeting you here?" Asked Flo as they walked across the stables, towards where they kept their equipment.

Y/N nodded her head. "Should get here just before I'm done with Gismo," she answered. "Pretty good timing if you ask me."

Lando was an incredibly supportive boyfriend. He had to be, with Y/N supporting his Formula One career. Whenever Lando could he came to one of her shows. No matter if she was eventing or jumping or doing dressage, Lando was watching with his camera.

Flo let out a sigh as she passed the martingale to Y/N. "You know, it might actually be nice to see him," she said as she and Y/N made their way back over to the horse.

Y/N quickly got herself and Gismo ready. She led him out to the arena and mounted. She rode him around the arena, warming him up and sending him flying over jumps as she waited for her boyfriend to appear.

Boyfriend. It had been weird saying that at first. After he and Y/N had their first date Lando was whisked away into the world of Formula One. They called a lot in that time, but it was strange. Their dynamics had changed but they weren't together yet.

It was a while before they got to have a second date.

A month after the second they had their third. That was when Lando officially asked her to be his.

That was five years ago.

As soon as Lando turned up to the stables, he knew white trainers had been a mistake. Actually, bringing such an expensive car had been a mistake. But, he got out anyway, locked it, and walked to where he knew he would find his girlfriend.

Lando was in awe every time he watched her ride. He couldn't tear her eyes away as she sent Gismo flying over the jumps, throwing her hands forward to let his neck stretch.

Lando had sat on Gismo before. He was the calmer of the two horses, the only one Y/N trusted to take care of Lando.

When Y/N finished jumping and brought Gismo back down to a trot, Lando clapped. Once upon a time he had whistled for her, but Sooty had spooked and Y/N had fallen off. Lando hadn't done it since.

"Lan!" Y/N called as she steers Gismo towards him. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," said Lando as Gismo put his head over the fence, searching him for treats. When he discovered Lando didn't have any, he resorted to getting attention instead. "Missed you as well, Gremlin."

Y/N took two minutes to cool Gismo down before she jumped off. She took him back to the stable and untacked him in record time, all while Lando watched. It was incredible watching her do the thing she loved, he realised. She must've felt the same way about him.

As soon as she was done, it was time for date night. Y/N finally managed to wrap her arms around Lando, holding him close. "You're gonna stink of horses," she said as Lando squeezed her even tighter.

"I don't care," he answered before he kissed her.

Keeping one arm around her waist, Lando walked her out to the car. Her boots were muddy on his cars interior, but Lando didn't care. She could have walked shit into his car and he wouldn't have cared.

"I brought that dress you like," Lando said. Before he'd gotten to the stables he'd stopped at Y/Ns apartment to get something for her to wear.

"You're the best, Lan," she said as she sorted the music.

I won't bore you with the details of their drive to their drive to the restaurant. Once they pulled up in the car park Y/N tried her best to get dressed in the not very spacious car, since their was no way she was getting in in her state. She combed her fingers through her hair, brushing out any hay.

"Goddamn," said Lando as she stepped out the car. Y/N slipped her hand into his and she walked in.

The restaurant was nice, rather fancy. The pair shared a candle-lit Italian dinner, with music playing softly in the background. Y/N listened eagerly as Lando spoke about his last race. "I really wish you were there, though," he muttered as he finished his dinner. "I can't wait for you to move to Monaco."

"I know, Lan. I can't wait either," she replied. They were making progress. Y/N had found a stables near enough by and it wasn't too pricy. She had a key to Lando's apartment, where she was staying for the weekend while he was away at another race.

As soon as they were finished eating, Lando asked for the bill. "No dessert?" Y/N asked with a frown. Lando loved his dessert, but today he was rushing.

"Nope," Lando answered as he paid. "My trainer would kill me."

As soon as he had paid, Lando escorted Y/N out of the restaurant. He walked her over to the car, stopping half way to do up his laces.

"Thanks for tonight, Lan," she said as she turned towards him.

But, when she did, Lando wasn't doing up his laces. He was down on one knew, an open ring box in his hand. Inside of the ring box was, well, a ring. It was simple, a band with a small stone, just the way Y/N liked it. "I know we haven't moved in together yet, but I really wanna marry you."

There was a moment where Y/N couldn't answer him. She was in complete and utter shock. The only talks of marriage had been tabloid speculation, no indicators from Lando himself. "Holy shit, Lan," she said, because that was all she could say.

It wasn't a question of whether Y/N wanted to marry him. Of course she did. She wanted that more than anything.

"Holy shit Lando Norris. Of course I'll marry you."

so today i tricked my very straight male friend into reading svsss.

okay look, i wasn't planning to at first and it's not like it was completely my fault. he wanted to read it!

i was showing him how badly they fucked up mu qingfang in the donghua by comparing it to the english novel design (he said that mu qingfang went from looking like a soft dilf to a predator registered on the epstein island list). and then, i showed him how different some of the other character designs were like gongyi xiao's ("he looks like he'd be a genshin character" -friend, to eng novel design) and luo binghe's ("lowkey, he kinda gives airbender vibes" -friend, to bunhe eng novel design)

so that was all i was gonna show him, nothing else. but after seeing them, he goes, "these designs actually look hella cool. what's the book called?"

now, do i:

A. tell him the name, eventually revealing that it's a danmei when he looks it up?

B. just straight up tell him that it's a danmei?

C: don't tell him the name just yet, spill the summary, get him interested, and tell him to not search anything up about it because there's heavy spoilers and it will reveal them the moment he types it up on the search bar

i go with C, obviously.

me: so, basically, some guy named shen yuan transmigrates into an incel harem male power fantasy novel where the protagonist, luo binghe, has hundreds of wives. thing is though, the guy pretty much took over the body of binghe's teacher he had when he was a teenager, who turns out to be a really scummy dude. and now he has to be nice to him so that the protagonist doesn't rip off his limbs and put him into a pickle pot in the future to suffer for eternity.

friend: that sounds hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

me: yes it is, and you should read it. it's like. my favorite novel at the moment. but don't search up anything about it because people spoil that shit. i'll let you borrow my novel

friend: nah don't worry, i'll just pirate it

friend: wait. does it have pictures?

me, my plan coming together: yeah, it has pictures. buuut, when you pirate it, it doesn't. trust me dude, i tried and was severely disappointed. plus, the physical copy is so much better

friend: fuck yeah ok thanks

me: hold on though. i'll text you later to see if my friend who's borrowing it rn is done reading it

he's hyped. he's excited. he craves a good book and a good transmigration interpretation. he's especially happy about the fact that it takes place in a chinese setting with cool powers and an actual good main character. "this sounds so good, god i wanna read it so bad."

i tell him that binghe is actually adorable, too. that it's pretty much found family! my friend then asks if shen yuan adopts him and becomes a father figure or something.

and i said "yes". you know, like a liar. (the father figure part probably isn't a lie though)

now i'm gonna give him the novel tomorrow! of course, i'm gonna cover the chapter 2 bunhe sexual awakening scene with washi tape and say that my baby cousin (sorry baby cousin, you would never <\3) scribbled all over that paragraph with her markers, and since i'm a neat book freak, i put washi tape and just wrote the scene! i don't know if that's really all too believable, but he didn't seem to care that much. just a simple "if my baby cousin did that to my book i would punt them into the sun"

i think what'll be more hilarious is the fact that you can't really tell that svsss is a BL. especially not volume 1. there's like, only a few lines indicating, but if you remove the baby binghe sexual awakening scene then you probably won't be able to know (...if you don't really read romance or anything. idk he's kinda dense anyways). so let's hope he gets attached and has a slow descent into the homo before i drop svsss vol 2 on him!

ok anyways i'll update you guys later with a reblog. maybe in about two or three days lol

(also don't worry, we already fuck around with each other on a daily basis like this. he's already tricked me into reading some manga i was unprepared for, and i thought that it'd be funny to mess around with him using svsss this time lol)

#greatest prank ive ever donee i think #manipulation 100 fr #absolute tomfoolery #am i a bad friend for this? perhaps. is it hilarious? definitely.#this is truly the most moment of all time #svsss #mxtx svsss #the scum villain's self saving system #luo binghe #luo bingmei #shen qingqiu #shen yuan

omggg hope you had a great birthday!! do u mind writing a remus x reader who realize there’s smth more than friends between them, thank youuu

🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

remus lupin x reader

a/n: gn!reader truly idk how this escaped me. me writing for my long lost husband in the year of our lord 2024?? this was so fun it felt like reuniting with an ex anyways fluff incoming

wc: don't... look at me... 1.3k

“So?”

“So what, Prongs?” Remus huffs, flipping through a textbook. Merlin knows why he even tries to study in the common room with the boys when all they do is badger him about nonsense.

“So are you and your little friend, well…more than friends? You two are attached at the hip, so where’d the little one run off to?” James teases, whacking his best mate with a throw pillow, “Get tired of you moaning and groaning about prefect duties?”

Well, that’s…you’re definitely not nonsense.

Remus blinks, brushing his hair away from his face and glaring at James before elbowing him straight in the gut. Tosser he is, acting like he knows anything about you or relationships in general when he’s been pining after Lily for years now.

You two are just friends.

Sirius lets out a loud laugh from his place at Remus’ feet. He’s leaning against the arm of the sofa, looking up at the sandy-haired boy with a cock-eyed grin, “If they were more than friends, Moony’s moaning and groaning would be appreciated and reciprocated, don’t you think?”

Peter snickers from the loveseat across the table. It doesn’t help with Remus’ mood, so he buries his head deeper into the boring History of Magic text, grumbling, “Don’t be crass. Just friends, is all. Don’t look too hard into it or you’ll melt what’s left of your brains.”

The three instigators look at each other, before looking back at their best friend. Just friends, he says. Sure, Remus’s the nicest guy around—a prefect even; the one that people count on to be the most morally sound out of all of them, the guy that people borrow notes from, politely laughs at jokes and makes people feel included in conversations. Sure, friends—they can believe that! Everyone wants to be Moony’s friend. But it’s the way they’ve seen him treat you that stands out.

Remus usually lags behind them now, breaking apart their formation in the halls (and yes, Sirius likes to be at the front of the diamond), pushing Peter up so he can wait for you after class. Also, anyone that could distract him from taking notes in Arithmancy is surely a force to be reckoned with (and a threat to Peter’s grades). He’s even gone as far as sidling up next to you during Potions and breaking their age-old rotation of picking partners since their first year (which left James with a botched Aging Potion, and Lily laughing at him as he limped out of class with graying hair and a hunchback).

So things were different nowadays, but one thing is for sure: Remus Lupin’s favorite game is being in denial.

“Maybe your friend knows about your furry little problem, Moons. Surely you really don’t think you’re gonna get any studying done with us?” James chuckles, before pushing his glasses up to clearly see the blush blossoming on Remus’s cheeks. Though it might also be anger, he couldn’t really tell—they’ve never seen him like this, ever; so blatantly obvious with how he feels about you even though he’d never admit it. It was quite refreshing to remember that Remus is still a normal teenage boy.

“You’re right, Prongs,” he huffs.

“I am?”

“I don’t know why I even bothered to try and study with you lot if all of you are too focused on me instead of studying!” Remus is shoving his books into his knapsack as the boys continue to rib at him to get him to stay. This essay isn’t going to write itself.

“Just playing, Moons!”

“Yeah mate, if you need an actual study date we know that’s not us, just hang around!”

Remus sighs as he’s looking at his friends' shit-eating grins as they go around him showing each other the map and pointing at something.

“What now?”

There’s a knock at the portrait, and the Fat Lady’s shrill voice could be heard from where they were sitting. Peter jumps up, sticking his face over the enchanted parchment as he giggles a bit like a schoolgirl, “It’s for you. Your friend’s outside.” They all cheer and laugh at Remus shaking his head, slinging his knapsack over his shoulder walking quickly away from them.

When he sees you chatting with the Fat Lady, it’s almost as if he’s in a stupor, studying every inch of your face until your eyes finally meet his and you grin and wave at him.

Just friends, he reminds himself.

“Hey Rem! Was gonna ask if you wanted to go to the library together?”

Your voice is a treat in itself, he thinks—the lilt and manner of it so sweet and rich it almost reminds him of his favorite chocolate.

Good thing he has a sweet tooth.

Walking down the hallway together your hand bumps into his several times in passing, fingers ghosting against each other as if they were dancing, too close and then too far. Friends can hold hands right? Remus’s heart flutters as he thinks of the possibility like solving an Arithmancy problem. He supposes the boys and him don’t necessarily hold hands, but he imagines holding yours would be way nicer.

Is he sweating?

His palms are sweaty, forget it, and you’re just friends! You’re telling him about your day like you both haven’t seen each other in years, but he even sat by you at lunch earlier, much to the rest of the Marauders’ surprise. Though Remus supposes you could even make Divination sound interesting—maybe even make him look in the stupid tea leaves to see if you’re in his future, furry little problem and all. He realizes he’s been staring a second too long, bumping into you lightly as you stop in front of the library.

“Haha, you okay? You’re quiet today, Rem. Something on your mind?”

A lot about you, apparently, thanks to his meddling friends.

Remus scratches the nape of his neck as he grimaces, cheeks reddening again and instead of a response, he opens the door for you and puts his finger to his mouth as if to say “Shhhh….” before Madam Pince starts a fit at either of you. That, or him actually having to say how he feels.

How he feels… Well…shit.

You make a beeline for an open table near the corner, tugging at his wrist like it’s not making his heart beat out of his chest and Remus tries to compose himself, but then you look at him with your pretty fluttering eyelashes and he knows he’s utterly fucked. Pulling out your chair for you, you squeeze his arm in thanks and scooch your chair closer to his.

“Rem?”

“Hmm?” he responds, a strangled noise crawling up his throat as he coughs slightly, his arm landing on the back of your chair before he panics then realizes he’d look like an arse for pulling away.

Not that he wants to.

“How did you know?”

His heart genuinely stops. There’s no way you’ve caught on that quickly—especially not with him just realizing how he feels about you, his friend that he wants to be more and there is nothing casual about what he wants to d—

“How’d you know I was at the common room? You walked out just as I was about to walk in, I thought it was kinda funny,” you giggle, brushing your hair behind your ear and he takes a deep breath.

You’re just friends. But he definitely wants to be more.

“The boys told me it was you,” Remus says, chewing on his lip, “Apparently they had a feeling.”

And now, so does he.

What’s worse is that Remus hates admitting when they’re right (which is rare enough in itself, he’ll never hear the end of it from their inflated egos).

What’s worst of all is that for the first time in his Hogwarts career, Remus Lupin ends up submitting an essay late.

Survivor’s Guilt

based on some MESSED UP (i loved it) art i saw on here (like this and THIS that made me cry)

WC: 895

CW: death, suicidal thoughts, religious imagery (i HC law as a former catholic because of the nuns on Flevance idk)

Trafalgar D. Water Law learned very early on that everything and everyone he loved would eventually be ripped away from him, washed away like footprints in the sand by high tide.

He was born to live this checkered life, cursed by the middle initial forced upon him at birth. He had no choice, no say in the matter. They say the Clan of D were meant to bring the Dawn, to usher in a new age, but all Law wanted to bring about was some peace and quiet. Just for a single moment.

But that was apparently too much to ask for.

Law craved nothing more than the everlasting promise of death as he tripped over the still bodies of his friends and family, corpses piling up with every step he took, but he was urged on by a will not of his own. He had to keep going. He must keep going.

He trudged along reluctantly, day after day. Life wasn’t so cruel as to only deal him bad hands- no, they had the audacity to give him hope every once in a while. A light at the end of the tunnel before that tunnel caved in too.

Being saved by Cora-san, meeting Shachi, Penguin and Bepo on Swallow Island, forming the Heart Pirates, his tentative friendshi- alliance with Straw Hat and his crew. All these moments deluded him into believing that maybe, just maybe, he could dare to dream of a better life. A happy life, even.

Law didn’t have any lofty ambitions such as becoming King of the Pirates like his Worst Generation rivals, contrary to what others believed about him. What could a place called ‘Laughtale’ offer a man like him anyways? Up until recently, he lived for the singular purpose of fulfilling his savior’s wishes, but he couldn’t even do that right. For as many messes as he had to clean up for others, Law could argue he left behind more.

Left behind. The one thing he could count on being.

The hands that touched him all faded into a distant memory, specters that haunted him whenever he closed his eyes at night. They called out to him like a siren’s song, caressing his face as they asked why he wasn’t strong enough to save them. It was no wonder Law gave up on sleeping a long time ago.

He closed his eyes now, begging to the higher powers he no longer believed in to please, please, finally grant him this one mercy. Salty sea water flooded his lungs as his body lost all its’ capabilities, any energy he had left after facing Blackbeard sucked dry as he was dragged deeper below the surface. This was all his fault. Law should have known better than to have hope for the future, to have deluded himself into thinking things were finally going according to plan.

Damn that man in the Straw Hat for giving him something to believe in back in Wano. He should have known better. There was no God; that’s why the nuns of White Town were all dead.

In the depths of the murky water, faces began to appear behind his eyelids. The other school children, begging him to come with them to safety. His parents, love shining in their eyes as they reached out their hands. Lami, looking up at him with so much trust and adoration. Cora-san and his stupid, crooked smile.

‘Wait for me, I’m coming.’ Law thought as his body sunk lower and lower beneath the waves. He could finally go home, after all this time.

As the abyss called out to him, so did another voice.

“Captain! Captain, please! You can’t die!” It wailed.

Law was suddenly pulled back above the water, dragged by the collar of his shirt to safety. He wrenched his eyes shut even harder, refusing to open them and accept reality. He had been ready to rescind the borrowed time he’d been living on since Flevance if it meant never having to deal with the loss of his loved ones again. He coughed once, twice, expelling the foreign liquid from his body as a large paw pounded on his back repeatedly.

“Bepo.” Law groaned out miserably, recognizing the Mink’s cries anywhere.

“Bepo, we have to go back.” He pleaded pathetically, his desperation apparent. Law didn't have to open his eyes to know that they were the only ones here, wherever ‘here’ was. There was no use pretending to be strong anymore, for he no longer had a crew to be strong for.

“I’m not going back! Trust them, Captain!” The Polar Bear Mink refused Law’s orders outright.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his crew, it was that he didn’t trust the world. History was repeating itself as it always did.

Law threw himself backwards onto the sandy beach they’d washed up on, shrugging off Bepo’s attempts at comfort with more force than necessary. It was only a matter of time before he was dead too.

He should’ve known better than to let anyone in, to think for a second he could walk through life anything less than alone. He should have known better than to hope that this time, surely, he could be happy.

Once again, Trafalgar D. Water Law was alive while everyone around him faded into dust. After all, the weak don’t get to choose how they die, do they?

#a writes #trafalgar law #trafalgar d water law #bepo #heart pirates #i’m so sad #one piece fanfic #one piece fan fiction #the heart pirates are ALIVE #not coping #not clickbait #one piece #spoilers for ep 1093 #op 1093

sim jaeyun x f!reader; slight choi beomgyu x f!reader

1.1k words, fluff, tension, jake's ur new bf and beom's ur bff since childhood, like one swear word; jake meets ur best friends from home (ft. txt)

a/n: just a scene i took from one of my old wips :') tbh idk if i'll ever continue it, so that's why i've decided to post this!

Sim Jaeyun was nervous. No, wait. Why was he nervous? He wasn't nervous. All of this—heart racing, fingers drumming against his pant leg, skin clammy, throat tightening… okay, so maybe he was a little nervous. But there was no harm in being nervous, right?

The metro came to a smooth stop, and your hand was suddenly tugging him out of his seat and out the doors onto the platform.

"Hey, are you okay?"

His head cleared for a split second and filled with those love hearts that invaded his headspace whenever you were around or you were mentioned. His head turned to you, your eyes already peering at him with a small frown on your face. He beamed at you, "'Course, babe. Why wouldn't I be?"

You raised your eyebrow. "Your hand's really sweaty, Jake."

You laughed as he released your hand for a second so he could wipe his against his pants. He pouted once he reconnected your fingers with his. "And you still held my hand? That's true love right there."

"I do love holding your hand," you said offhandedly, bringing his knuckles up to kiss them, "clammy or not."

Oh fuck, he was so far gone. So drunk on your love. He was melting on the metro station floor—and there you were, walking on as if you hadn't just shot him through the heart with an arrow for the billionth time, and him, trailing after you like the lovesick pup he was.

"That's supposed to be my line," he managed to muster. Great one, Jake. Could he be any lamer? "But I guess you could borrow it." He stood on the step next to you as the escalator descended into the airport area. "But I do think I require payment," he added with a feigned thoughtful expression.

You smiled at him, and he couldn't help but return it. If anyone around the two of you looked over, they would have seen a couple in their own world, gazes connected like their hands and their hearts, love never absent. It was so strange to think about why Jake was even nervous in the first place.

Probably because of the reason why you were both at the airport now. That reason being meeting your friends. This didn't refer to the friends you had met while at university together, but the friends from your hometown who had flown over to see you for the spring break. Jake hadn't been nervous the few weeks between you telling him and today, but for some reason, as soon as he stepped foot on that metro, he started sweating buckets. And for what? He was a charming guy. He loved you, and you loved him. What was he so insecure and nervous about?

"You didn't have to come with me, y'know." You and him were walking toward the arrival terminal now, taking your time. Your friends' plane was probably still pulling into the gate. "I really appreciate it."

He gave your hand a light, reassuring squeeze. He saw the way your eyes shone. "Of course, love. I wanted to come with you to meet them. Anything to spend time with my girl."

"Jake," you whined, cheeks reddening, as you always did when he made you flustered.

He giggled and cooed at you, leaning down to press a brief kiss to your mouth. "You're so cute."

"Oh god, my eyes!"

Both yours and Jake's heads perked up at the voice—you because you recognized the voice, and Jake's because he was going to have words with anyone who had a problem with him giving you affection. But it was nothing to that level of seriousness (chill, Jake, chill) as you watched your friends make their way over toward the pair of you, suitcases rolling behind them.

That had been Huening Kai's outburst, a giddy grin spread over his face. He was the youngest of the five, was what you had told Jake. Then there was Yeonjun as the eldest, Soobin as the maturest, Taehyun as the braincell-est (?), and—

"LN YN!"

"CHOI BEOMGYU!" A squeal erupted from your lungs, and you let go of Jake's hand only to go speeding toward your best friend, Beomgyu. He watched as you practically leapt into the boy's arms, and continued to watch as said boy twirled you around with the largest smile in the world. (But Jake had a bigger smile obviously… right?)

"Hey, nice to meet you," Yeonjun was the first to greet Jake, extending a hand out to him. "Yn-ie's told us all about you."

Jake smiled, that fluttering feeling erupting in his stomach hearing that you talked about him to other people. "Good things I hope. She's told me about all of you as well."

"Definitely not all good things, I bet," Soobin chimed in with a chuckle.

"Your hair, Beom!" At your exclamation, everyone's heads turned to where you were now marveling at the highlights in Beomgyu's wolf cut mullet. Jake poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue and tucked his hands into his pockets, watching as your best friend positively blossomed under your attention and Jake wilted with his lack thereof.

His expression schooled into one of neutrality as Taehyun sighed. "They're always like this, don't worry. Guess time and distance couldn't erase seventeen years of friendship."

"Seventeen years, huh?" He murmured under his breath. He had maybe seven or so months under his belt—

You and Beomgyu finally made your way toward the rest of the group, and when Beomgyu stood face to face with Jake, Jake stood just a little straighter. Why was this man just the slightest bit taller than him?

For a second, it was quiet. Everyone, including you, held your breaths in waiting.

Then the tension diminished, and Beomgyu was clasping Jake's hand. "I'm Beomgyu; nice to meet you, Jake."

"Nice to finally meet you, too." But Jake's heart was a stuttering mess, even if he could breathe just the slightest bit easier. Before Beomgyu could do anything else, Jake swept his arm over your shoulders and tucked you into his side. "Yn and I were gonna take you all out for lunch."

You nodded, carefully wrapping your arm around Jake's waist and making him feel just the slightest bit better about the possessive move he made. He saw the way Beomgyu's eyes stared at the way he had done that. "Mhm! There's this really great ramen place on the Ave that I think you guys'll love."

Beomgyu was the first to reply. "Sounds good. I trust your judgement, Yn-ie."

Your eyes swerved between your best friend and your boyfriend—and prayed the electricity would disappear. But as the group of you headed back toward the metro entrance, you had a very bad feeling it was here to stay.

do you think everyone else in the hexsquad knows about Hunter's crush on Willow? and/or vice versa, maybe? even that there's something happening but it's a slow and tentative thing that they shouldn't push or meddle in? like Hunter is valiantly trying not to be painfully flustered and obvious around the others while Willow seems to be making some attempt to be subtle and deliberate about when she does The Flirts and i'm curious how much either of them they're succeeding

I've been thinking about it and I believe the most logical conclusion based on what we know from Thanks to Them is that they all know to some extent but their level of knowledge varies depending on the person. But one tidbit that they are all very aware of is Hunter's painfully obvious crush on Willow. They're just. Politely ignoring it.

Because like. I think if this was a thing they knew and made their business, Thanks of Them would have at least given one example of them giving him looks or making some comment alluding to it. There's none of that. Which could mean that none of them actually know. But...c'mon...

Like how the fuck is he hiding this? Realistically speaking. He goes bright red when Willow does anything. There is no way he's been doing that for months with not a single person noticing.

So I figure that while Willow's feeling might be a little more subtle and not everybody is entirely certain of them, one thing they can all agree on is Hunter.

I imagine that it's kinda similar to Willow and Gus's reaction when lumity was developing. Like they knew but they let Luz and Amity figure it out for themselves rather than get involved.

Vee would absolutely clock Hunter as a hopeless girl liker immediately. Like she's been having a pleasantly slice-of-life teenage experience these last few months while her sister has been fighting for her life. Vee hangs around with her average teen friends, she watches TV, she's sniffed around online. Vee sees like twelve stupid crushing teenage boys on her morning route to the supermarket alone. Like she knows the drill.

I also kinda like the thought that she knows about Willow's crush too. Their friendship in Thanks to Them is so cute so I really like to headcanon they often hang out when Lumity and the Menace Brothers are off doing their own thing. So they're having giggly little private talks and idk brushing each others hair or whatever. So Vee knows about Willow's feelings because Willow told her. Like she's gotta be a gushing teenage girl about Hunter to somebody and honestly I can't think of a more perfect candidate than Vee.

It would be cute if Vee was the reason Willow really started stepping up her flirting game. Like she thinks Hunter might like her but she's still not certain, and Vee offers her opinion that he most definitely does. With that certainty in mind, Willow gets a little bolder in how she approaches her interactions with him and eventually starts to pick up that Vee was right. He is absolutely reciprocating. It's simply a matter of waiting until he's ready to flirt back.

Love to think that Gus cares the least about this shit but he's also cursed to be the most perceptive of the group. Labyrinth Runners reveals that he's very good at reading even the subtler emotions of both Hunter and Willow. So neither of them told him but he's known since the day they fucking met. He actually caught on to Willow's strange shift in behavior first during the events of ASIAS and it wasn't until he became more familiar with Hunter better that he realized it was mutual.

But like. He doesn't really care. It doesn't bother him really but he's not exactly bursting with excitement over it. He figures if he just leaves them to it, they'll eventually sort out what they are to each other. That's what happened with Luz and Amity anyway.

I feel like he would never make a big deal about it. But based on "You wanna borrow my library card to visit Amity, don't you?" being his way to saying he knew that lumity had something going on, he'd definitely just drop it in casual conversation. Which scares the absolute shit out of Hunter. Like

"Hey Hunter, Camila's got groceries in the trunk. Help us bring them in."

"Oh sure, no problem."

"But please don't do that thing where you try to carry four bags at once. It never ends well."

"That was one time!"

"Yeah and Willow's already out there so there's bound to be a second time. Your crush on her makes you do stupid stuff."

"MY WHA T????"

So yeah Gus doesn't bring it up often. But whenever he does, it startles Hunter terribly. Based on the whole lumity cookbook thing, he's nice enough that he'd try to help every now and again. He's not exactly good at it. And he doesn't do much. But he helps. And Hunter is already at a complete loss on what to do so he'll just blindly follow whatever advice Gus gives him. This leads to him gifting Willow a cookie tin of dirt. (She liked it so Hunter has not disowned Gus as his wingman just yet.)

When it comes to Willow, it'd be post ASIAS-pre LR where they'd just be at school, eating lunch and Willow is glued to her scroll.

"Are you all smiley and giggly because you're texting the Golden Guard?" Gus asks boredly.

Willow looks up, surprised. Then she smirks. "And if I am?"

"I'm not gonna say anything but I'm gonna be pretty "Hmmm" about it."

Willow just laughs. "What if I said he was cute."

"Girl..."

But now that Gus and Hunter are besties, he is also equipped to help Willow along. Of course, Willow doesn't exactly need help. She's actually doing perfectly fine on her own. But yknow he'll occasionally feed her information. Like "Okay okay there's this one line from Cosmic Frontier. Write this down, it's like--I said write it down. It's like his weakness. He's quoted it a billion times today alone. If you say it, I promise you he'll swoon. Trust me on this."

Hunter did swoon so Gus has not lost Willow's wingman privileges either.

Amity is just not very observant to others' feelings a lot of the time unless they make them explicitly obvious. I feel like this is especially true with Willow who she loves but doesn't always have the best read on. Like Amity was completely oblivious to Willow's frustration with her in LR so it's safe to say she doesn't really understand her inside and out. And that's fine, she needs some time to get to know the real Willow. So yeah she wouldn't really notice that Willow has a crush on Hunter unless it is point blank explained to her.

It also never even crosses her mind that Willow could possibly be attracted to Hunter. That anybody could be attracted to Hunter. Because frankly Hunter is the most romantically unappealing creature Amity has ever beholded. And she does not mean that in a mean way. It is simply fact. So the eyes she's giving Willow during the cosplay scene is just complete bewilderment because she cannot comprehend why Willow is encouraging this.

Like girl, she wants to smooch his stupid face. Keep up.

But there is no discernable way Amity does not see herself in Hunter. He is tomatoing all over the place. Like it doesn't matter now unobservant she is. This shit is impossible to miss. But quite honestly, I think Amity understanding what he's going through would lead to her not saying a word about it. Like he's clearly still in the very emotionally muddled stage. He's figuring out what he's feeling. He's coming to terms with it. So maybe he'd like to get a better understanding of it before his friends are pressuring him into making a move/confessing. And she gets that it's a very vulnerable way to feel. Sometimes you want to feel like you have some privacy over your emotions, even when you know you're very bad at hiding them. It's not Hunter's fault he's prone to blushing and displaying his crush for the world to see. But he has a right to keep it to himself until he's ready to talk about it. Amity respects that.

When it comes to Luz, I originally saw it as her being too focused on returning to the Boiling Isles to notice that something was developing. But after Thanks to Them, I see it differently. Over these last few months, Luz and Hunter have had this secret bubble between the two of them that nobody else knows about. Obviously they know about the Philip and grimwalker stuff but I could easily imagine the two of them slipping into this relationship where they just spill the beans of all the dark ugly and confusing emotions that they don't feel comfortable telling anyone else about.

Having a crush is definitely a lot more lighthearted than the stuff they usually talk about but it's Hunter's first crush so it makes him feel very vulnerable and weird. And if he's gonna vocalize that unfamiliar feeling to anyone, it would be Luz.

And I know Luz is a hopeless romantic. I know. Buuuut. I like to think that being around Eda and Raine for a short period of time really opened her eyes to the fact that romance can be...complicated? Difficult? Messy? Basically, just not as shiny and bubbly as she used to think it was. As such, Luz does not jump at the opportunity to pair Hunter and Willow up. Season 1-season 2A Luz might have. But she is not the same girl. Her view on romantic love is a little more nuanced. Sometimes it's something you have to be careful with. So she doesn't push it. Like Amity, Luz deduces that Hunter needs a little time to process what he's feeling before he goes diving into the next stage. So she gives him space to do that. In the meantime, she's here if he wants a void to yell into about it.

All that being said, Luz would occasionally tease him about it now and again.

When it comes to Willow's feelings, I feel like Luz has tried to subtly suss them out on Hunter's behalf but it's....difficult. Not because Willow is subtle about it but because Luz and Willow's feelings for Hunter kinda overlap into something very unclear.

Willow and Luz both have that sapphic girl tendency where they are deeply fascinated with the same soggy piece of bread of a guy. They want to study him under a microscope. They want to put him in an enclosure filled with strange objects that he doesn't understand and observe his behavior through the security camera. The only difference is that Willow mostly behaves this way because she thinks he's boyfriend material, while Luz just sees him as her most beloved moth eaten stuffed animal.

But because Willow's enthusiasm and support of Hunter is so similar to her own, Luz has a hard time coming to a conclusion on if Willow's feelings have branched out into the romantic direction.

Because like Willow will say shit like "Hunter is so cute <3"

And Luz responds. "Yeah. He reminds me of one of the feral possums we kept finding in the shack."

"I want to kiss him." She'll sigh absentmindedly.

And Luz has to internally debate this for over ten minutes because she also wants to kiss Hunter. On the forehead. Because she's always wanted to kiss a feral possum on the forehead. So she is forced to concede that she has no fucking idea what Willow feels, despite the fact that Willow could not be any more obvious if she tried.

#huntlow #this isnt like a proper analysis or anything. just silly headcanons

My reactions to Evangelion, episode 15: Lies and Silence

Before I begin, I was thinking about it this morning and I'm wondering if NERV is indeed trying to bring on the apocalypse (and to create an Eden for fetus Adam to live in) and the Angels are in fact the good guys trying to stop them. There's a lot of talk about saving humanity but it kind of seems to me like the second impact was due to humans killing an Angel, who then exploded? It makes me wonder what kind of research they were doing on that Arctic base (Antarctic?) Idk, but to me it seems like humanity as a whole has not been in danger from the Angels: it's just NERV. But I'm also kind of hung up on the Instrumentality part of the Human Instrumentality project. Instrumental for what?

Anyway, I'll keep wondering on it, but I'm going to start the episode.

"Every project is interlinked"

is the first time we're hearing about the Marduk institute?

Oh, okay. So it sounds like the Human Instrumentality project is about trying to find kids to pilot the Evangelions. That makes sense. They are the instruments in piloting the Evas. So perhaps Adam has been genetically engineered to be the perfect pilot.

Asuka! Oh my gosh! Girl who cried wolf!

Shinji has been preoccupied with Rei since that thing happened in Unit 0, maybe?

Asking Rei for advice on how to talk to his own dad. Poor kid

He's comparing Rei to a mother. IS SHE A CLONE OF HIS MOTHER. Also, he's so awkward.

Or maybe she's a robot with his mother's personality inside. Oooooooh.

When Asuka asked to borrow Misato's lavender perfume my first thought was of Love Spell.

Oh, he's going to see his mother tomorrow! She's alive and also apparently negligent.

I'm chuckling because my first thought on seeing Kaji was, "You couldn't even shave for your friend's wedding?" and then Misato got on him for the same thing lol.

Nope, his mom is actually dead.

That's a very stark cemetery.

So he can't remember her face, there are no photographs that exist, the grave is just a facade... So mysterious.

"I see." What an ass.

I didn't know Shinji played an instrument! And so beautifully!

Shinji is so sweet and positive. I just love him so much.

Ritsuko's comment on transistasis and homeostasis has me thinking about the potential that NERV is trying to force human evolution. Perhaps they want to create a symbiotic relationship with the Evas? I don't know about that... Trying to evolve them to be compatible with technology? Space travel? Is the planet doomed?

Kaji is such a smooth talker.

Yeah, kiss her. That'll shut her up.

Asuka, Jesus Christ. Mocking Shinji about his dead mom to bully him into kissing you. Girl, please.

I'm wheezing! He turned fuschia!

Is it because he couldn't breathe? Omg

Asuka... Sweetheart... You're just repeating his warning back to him.

I wonder if Asuka realizing Misato and Kaji have a thing is going to interfere with her ability to complete her next mission.

There's the central dogma! Rei's in a tube hooked up to what looks like a metal brain.

Okay, so I'm thinking about how when Shinji was in Unit 0 he was like, "Oh, it's Rei. Wait, that's not-" and then creepy Rei looked up at him and jumped towards him and that is when Unit 0 flipped out and started trying to get to the real Rei. So I am thinking there are perhaps multiple people inside Rei (this is also influenced by the fact that when I was looking up to see if ep. 14 was a recap episode I saw it mentioned that Rei is schizophrenic. However, I'm not sure I believe she's actually schizophrenic. I kind of think she is actually harboring another person and that it's Shinji's mother.)

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH ADAM IS THE FIRST ANGEL?

I had kind of wondered if there was an Angel inside the facility. I had initally assumed there would be one kept top secretly but they kept saying how they needed to catch one for research so I was like, "Oh, maybe not, but that's weird that they wouldn't have on after all this time." Especially with everything they seem to know about them. I figured it had to be they either created them or were studying them.

In Closing

I'm so excited! Mysteries are starting to come to light!

Okay, let me see if I can organize my current theories:

Rei might be an imprint Shinji's mother - possibly she's an android, possibly just a person with an especially impressionable brain. But I think that there's Rei the girl and then also the additional personality/ies if this is the case.

NERV is going to perhaps force human evolution using genetic engineering. Or, they might be planning an apocalypse. The Angels may be trying to stop this from happening. I really have no idea.

I just considered that given the ages of the children and the timeline of the second impact, is it possible that children who were in-utero/ conceived around or after that time have some kind of Angel influence within their DNA? Like some kind of radiation? Could this be why only kids can operate the Evas? Are Angels neccessary for the next phase of whatever NERV has planned?

I feel like there's more but I want to hurry up and get to the next episode, so bye.

#neon genesis evangelion #evangelion #first watch #thoughts #reactions #shinji ikari #gendo ikari #rei ayanami #yui ikari #asuka langley soryu #misato katsuragi #ryoji kaji #What are you up to NERV?

Could you expand on what you said in a post about libraries about the big 5 publishers screwing over libraries in terms of digital lending rights?? I’ve not heard of that at *all* and im generally pretty caught up on publisher news, so I think theres a pretty big library-shaped hole in my sources lol

All righty, a couple disclaimers here. One, this is from a Canadian library perspective, so idk how well it applies to the US. Two, I don't work in the collections department at my library, so I'm basing this off what I remember from class years ago

(also clarifying that I'll be referring to ebooks and audiobooks collectively as digital books just to make it easier)

But in short, the Big Five publishers only very reluctantly put up with libraries having physical books, and one of the reasons they do that is because only one person can have a physical book at a time. Digital books, though? Why, if a library has a copy of one of those, hundreds of people could read it at a time! That's profits they're losing! How terrible!

But, well, selling to libraries is still a sale, so the companies sell to them but restrict it as much as possible. One, libraries pay much more for digital books than your average consumer. I don't have the exact number, but it's significantly higher. Two, unlike a physical book, which a library can have rebound if it's popular but hard to find, and which could conceivably last years if it's hardcover or paperback binding, digital books have severe limits on them. Maybe the library can only buy one "copy" of a digital book - i.e., only one patron can use it at a time. That digital copy artificially expires after 20 loans or 2 years, whichever comes first. Got a waitlist of 50 people waiting to read the latest Alexander McCall Smith book? Too bad! 30 of them are gonna have to go without! Do you have a moderately popular book by Danielle Steel, which gets borrowed every couple of months? Sorry! You've had it for two years, so it's gone now! Better buy a new copy!

Now, this is the case on digital platforms like Libby/Overdrive. Each digital book acts the same as a physical book, except that most of them go away after a certain amount of time. Certain public domain books might be a one-time buy for libraries, but for the most part, every loan, every week that goes by is chipping away at a digital book's life. Certain digital platforms - Hoopla, for example - have what's called "simultaneous use" policies - maybe you only have one ebook copy of a book by Agatha Christie, but every library patron can read it at once. The trade-off for this is that my library has to pay a certain amount for every person currently reading or listening to a book on Hoopla. We have a daily budget that can't be exceeded. Every week we field calls from people who, one afternoon, wanted to open up Hoopla, but were told they couldn't take out any books - because too many of my library's 40 000 active patrons had also decided to enjoy a book that day. And not every publisher even allows simultaneous use licenses, or they don't allow it on all of their titles

A final reminder to this very long post: please do not boycott Libby or Hoopla over this, I beg of you. Your libraries are pouring a lot of money into them because they're being used. Instead, put pressure on the big five publishers to make their digital books accessible, and vote in your municipal elections to get libraries more funding so we have more budget to put into those items. An easy way to increase your library's funding is just to spend a bit of time a week in there. Hang out with your friend for a few hours, just walk in and look at the shelves, or sit there and use their free wifi to play games on your phone. Digital books are here to stay, and libraries are important for getting those books into people's hands

#long post #libraries #if i made any errors pls lemme know #i'm remembering what we were taught in class but this was...er 2019 or 2020 or so #it might've changed since then but tbh probably not for the better #asks

Dandelions // Kim Sunwoo

masterlist 🌸

pairing: sunwoo x fem!reader

genre: fluff, angst

request: “hii can i request for sunwoo fluff/angst base on dandelions by ruth b ? hehee idk why i'm a lil emo these days..“

warnings: just some cursing I think, not sure if it's angsty enough :(

summary: “ and now you don’t know if it’s just the feelings from the past coming back or if you’re falling for him all over again, maybe you just never stopped loving him”

word count: 5,319

a/n: I’m so so sorry, this took me sooooo long to write, at first I was super inspired but it ended very fast lol, then I tried my best to write something but I couldn’t write anything for months, I wrote like 4 different ones bcs I didn’t like any (and I’m still not quite sure how I feel about this one)

anyways, I hope you understand :( I'm really sorry for those who requested, I'll try to post them asap

You remember when you first met him one year ago, you and Sunwoo were classmates but never talked to each other before, all you knew was each other's name. Your test had just begun and you were so focused on it that the touch on your shoulder startled you, so much you could hear your heart beating faster, you tried to hide it as fast as possible, but Sunwoo still noticed it, his smile got bigger and he was laughing inside, trying his best to not actually laugh, because of how cute you looked when you got scared.

"Can I borrow your eraser?" he whispered with a friendly smile on his face, for a brief second you couldn't stop staring at him, part of you was still in shock trying to process what he said, while the other was mesmerized by him.

"Sure" you nodded, handing him the eraser which he returned with the same smile and then focused again on his test, you took a deep breath to calm down your racing heart before doing the same.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After that you found that he was a friend of a friend, so you and Sunwoo became close, every day you and Sunwoo were the first ones among your friends to arrive at school and that made it easier to talk to him alone.

"Y/n, what do you want to do in the future?" Sunwoo asked, it had been just a few weeks since you two started to talk more frequently, you two were waiting for your friends to arrive at class and he was always curious about you.

"Mm… I don't really think about it right now, I just want to live the moment I guess… you?"

"For now I want to study abroad, I always wanted to leave this place and I think educational purposes is a good excuse right?" you let out a soft laugh, Sunwoo smiled and stared at you, he always thought your smile was the cutest

"But why do you want to leave here?"

"My life feels so dull, like no ups and downs, it's just a straight line, my parents are quite strict so they don’t let me do a lot of things, so studying abroad seems like the only way to have more freedom" Sunwoo noticed this was the first time he was talking about this to someone, he loves his friends but he never got the chance to have this kind of conversation with them, but with you, it was so easy to talk to.

With time you noticed that he was a very bright and funny guy, but also very mature when needed, which quickly made you want to be with him all the time and before you even noticed, you started falling for him, but you never got the guts to tell him how you feel, you tried showing him signs but he probably didn't catch it.

You're sitting down next to your friends and Sunwoo is also there, you wanted to sit next to him but your friends sat there before you could, so you would randomly look at him in the middle of the class admiring his beauty, he was so close yet so far. None of your friends knew about your crush on Sunwoo besides Chanhee, your closest friend and also the one who officially introduced you to him.

The door opened and you could see Chanhee slowly entering the room, he bowed saying sorry for being late to the professor and walking toward you.

“Always late…�� you muttered, shaking your head in a disapproving way to tease him

“Always staring at him..” Chanhee whispered in your ear sitting down next to you, you sent him a death glare for a second and returned your attention to the class.

"Y/n! Finally!" Sunwoo smiled, holding a bunch of notes, you could feel your heart beating louder and breathing getting harder "help me study for the test please!"

You giggled sitting in front of him "you're studying 15 minutes before the test?"

"Well… better than nothing right? At least I’m not late like Chanhee" he stated making you laugh. You tried teaching him everything you knew as fast as possible before you heard the ring bell indicating the test would begin soon.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Let’s have lunch together” one of your friends said after the class ended

“Yeah let's go!” Sunwoo wrapped his arms around Chanhee’s shoulder looking at you “you’re coming too right?”

“Of course! Me too” Chanhee answered for you after realizing the silly smile on your face looking at Sunwoo, showing that you weren’t paying attention to anything else.

This time you managed to sit next to him while Chanhee was in front of you. While waiting for your orders, your friends talked about random stuff and Sunwoo would eventually murmur something to you.

“Hey Sunwoo!” Eric said in his loud voice, getting everyone’s attention “is it true you’re going out with that new girl? What was her name again..?”

“Hyejin.. and no, I talked to her just a few times” Sunwoo quickly tried to change the subject but Eric brought it back

“She’s pretty tho, why don’t you give it a shot? Want me to help?” Eric winked at him, Sunwoo just scoffed, looking away without answering “oh.. is that a yes?” he again ignored what Eric said, taking his phone out of his pocket.

Chanhee looked at you trying to read your face, when you two made eye contact he whispered a “are you okay?”, you just nodded, but he didn’t believe you so he kept paying attention to you. Sunwoo not answering the question was even worse than if he said yes, at least you would know what he thinks but now you had no idea. You weren’t exactly upset, but you really wanted to choke Eric at that moment.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You and your friends decide to go to a convenience store nearby. You stood outside, waiting for them since you weren’t buying anything. You kicked the stones on the floor as a way to distract yourself, you were spacing out at the moment and didn’t notice Sunwoo standing next to you.

“What are you doing?” he whispered in your ear startling you, making him laugh “you’re such a scaredy cat”

“Why you always do that when I’m distracted..” you whimpered, he smiled at your cuteness wanting to pinch your cheeks, but he held himself

“Y/n look!” he pointed to the floor, crouching down to pick it up “make a wish” he held the flower in front of you

You smiled thinking for a moment before blowing the dandelion, you looked at him and he had the same smile from the day he asked for your eraser. You two stared at each other for a few seconds before you heard the door open and your friends coming out holding their bags full of food.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The next day you and Sunwoo were talking to each other before Eric stormed into the classroom “Sunwoo! Come here”, he stood up walking toward Eric

“What is it?” Sunwoo asked and Eric put his arms around his shoulders forcing Sunwoo to walk with him, you couldn’t hear exactly what they said but you did hear Hyejin’s name, you once again wanted to choke Eric.

“Hyejin is looking for you” Eric said while leaving the room, Sunwoo stopped and frowned at the other boy “what?” Eric questioned, confused.

“What does she want?” Eric shrugged his shoulders “tell her I’m busy” Sunwoo said turning around to go back to you but Eric stopped him with a disapproving look, “whatever it is she can tell me later right?”

Eric thought Sunwoo was just shy at first, but then noticed he wasn’t interested on her, he didn’t want to force him to do something he didn’t want so Eric didn’t insist anymore, but as soon as they were about to go back to the classroom, they heard a female voice calling Sunwoo’s name. He wanted to pretend he didn’t listen but he didn’t want to look rude, so he just smiled softly looking at the girl coming in his direction.

“Get in and make y/n some company ok?” Sunwoo whispered to Eric, he just nodded and did what he said

Eric sat in front of you, putting his bag on the floor, when he looked at you at first he noticed a small pout on your face, but as soon as you looked at him it turned into a soft smile.

“You okay?” he looked at you waiting for your response, but you just nodded, paying attention to something else. At that moment, something clicked in Eric’s head, but since he wasn’t so sure of it he decided to not ask you about it.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For the next few days, Sunwoo tried his best to be close to you, he loved your company but you noticed he wasn’t so bright as he used to be. He still smiled and laughed often, but it sounded like he was forcing it and you didn’t know why.

“Y/n” you were sitting on the grass taking a few notes when Sunwoo showed up behind you, his voice sounded softer than usual. You looked back at him and saw a faint smile on his face, he sat next to you and for a second you forgot how to breathe, but you managed to maintain your composure.

“You okay?” you asked, realizing he looked upset. Sunwoo wanted to show you only his good side so he always tried to smile, but he also felt comfortable being vulnerable only around you.

“Yeah I…” he sighed, thinking for a moment about how he was going to say it “I’m moving to another country next week…” Sunwoo just spat it out, then stayed in silence for a few seconds, not having the courage to look into your eyes “you know my parents want me to study abroad, I also worked very hard for it, but now I don’t know if I really want to go”

You both stayed silent for a moment, you already expected that one day he would tell you he was moving but you still felt upset. Sunwoo was vaguely looking down, he grabbed a flower from the floor and held it in front of you.

"I thought you always wanted to live abroad" you said as soon as you grabbed the flower from his hands and you could feel your heart aching.

"Yeah I just.. I started to really like it here, I don't know if I can just leave it all behind" he looked around as if trying to picture everything before it was too late.

"It will be good for you, all the experience and you’ll probably make lots of friends too, don't give up" you didn't want him to regret later for not going, it's better to regret doing it than not doing it, right?

He quickly put a smile on his face "make a wish" he pointed to the dandelion you were holding. You looked at it in your hands not being able to even force a smile like Sunwoo, but you did as he said, blowing the flower.

"You want to know my wish?" you asked, looking at him as he shook his head, still smiling.

"If you tell me it won't come true" he messed your hair and stood up "don't be sad I won't be here to scare you anymore", you two giggled as he reached his hands to help you stand up.

You were heading to the airport, Chanhee and your friends were already there, making Sunwoo company until his flight, you lost track of time and were afraid you wouldn't make it in time.

Sunwoo was feeling anxious, his feet shaking seeing the time pass and worried he would not be able to see you one last time. He looked at his phone every minute to see if you sent him anything, at this point he was already thinking of giving up his decision of leaving the country, thinking he wouldn’t see you and his friends again, even though it was just temporary, he was starting to regret it and he could feel tears building up in his eyes. You ran as fast as possible, hearing the calls to his flight cursing at yourself for losing track of time.

"Y/n!" Sunwoo could finally smile, he walked towards you and opened his arms, hugging you tightly.

"I'm so sorry.. I'm late" you said trying to catch your breath

"It's okay, I'm happy I can at least say goodbye to you" he broke the hug, holding your shoulders "I'll miss you the most y/n…"

"Sunwoo I-" you were interrupted by the last call

"Sorry I need to go... bye y/n" Sunwoo hesitated for a moment, not letting you go, but he sighed in defeat trying his best to not cry in front of you, he let you go and walked away, waving at you and your friends.

"You okay?" Chanhee rubbed your back trying to comfort you

"I couldn't tell him… I wanted to tell him…" you said, still breathless, cursing yourself again for getting there too late.

"Have you been talking to Sunwoo?" Eric asked you, leaning on the wall while crossing his arms.

"Can I ask you something?" he said seriously after a few seconds of silence

"Not very often, there are 13 hours between us so it's hard to talk to him" you answered picking up all your stuff

"You just did" you didn’t look at him, just focused on whatever you were doing

"I will anyways" he giggled "were you and Sunwoo dating?"

"No… why?" you looked at him, surprised by his question

"I’m pretty sure he likes you" he tilted his head, saying it like it was obvious “you like him too right?" you turned your attention to your backpack again, not answering him "I'm sorry I tried to push him to Hyejin back then, I hope that didn’t get between you two"

“It’s ok… wasn’t he interested in her?” Eric shook his head, standing straight

“I thought he was just shy at first, but he really wasn’t, he even told me one day that she confessed to him, but he rejected her because he already liked someone, he didn’t tell me who, but I know it was you… you are prettier though” Eric smiled and messed with your hair before taking his bag and waving goodbye to you “and you two make a pretty good couple”.

"Sunwoo!" he was sitting on the grass like he always did, plucking out random leaves and flowers when he heard his recent new friend calling him "we are going to a club tonight, wanna come?"

"Oh hey Kevin" he said, grabbing one of the flowers there "I don't know… I don't really feel like going, sorry…"

"It's ok!" Kevin smiled while sitting down next to Sunwoo "that's a dandelion right?" he pointed to the flower Sunwoo was holding

"Yeah… it reminds me of someone" he hugged his legs, resting his chin on his knee still looking at the flower

"And… you like this someone?" he asked in a curious tone and Sunwoo nodded

"I really miss her… I wish I had the guts to confess to her before I left, but I think it's better this way, I’ll just get over it…" Sunwoo blew the dandelion, wishing one day you would know how he feels, he stared at the petals flying away while Kevin patted his back trying to comfort him somehow.

“You know what? I’m going with you tonight” Sunwoo looked at Kevin, who smiled weakly and nodded. That night they went to the club together and met some of their friends. Kevin knew Sunwoo got as drunk as he could so he would not feel so sad about the things he said to him earlier.

Sunwoo took his phone and opened your chat, he started recording a voice message to you without thinking twice.

He then sent the audio and when Sunwoo sobered up he regretted and cursed at himself thousands of times, not knowing you never received it for some reason, but still anxiously waiting for your response which never came.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“What’s with that face?” Chanhee asked, sitting in front of you. You were pouting again, thousands of thoughts running in your head.

“Do you think Sunwoo found someone there?” You said without thinking, you regretted it a second later, afraid of what he would say.

“I don’t know… I don’t think so”

“He is not talking to me anymore…” you looked at your phone for the nth time, seeing if there was at least a signal of life from Sunwoo

“Y/n… I know he will be away for a few years and will be back, but are you really going to wait for him?” Chanhee tried his best to not sound too insensitive, but he didn’t want you to get hurt

“What do you mean?” you looked at him questioning, even though you already knew the answer, actually you knew it a long time ago, but you refused to accept it.

“I mean that… maybe you should move on” you looked away, still not wanting to do it

“It’s not that easy Chanhee…”

“I know…” you both knew there was nothing you could do at that moment, you know Chanhee is probably right, Sunwoo can be with anyone he wants and so do you, but why do you feel so sad about losing someone who was never actually yours?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sunwoo wanted to call you every night, but he always hesitated before pressing the button and eventually gave up. He can’t help wondering what you thought when you heard the message, maybe you never liked him back and didn’t want to be mean to him, so he just ruined your friendship, so like this he convinces himself that it is better to be far away from you. His new life was not bad, he had the freedom he always wanted, and he has nice friends, but it was not all happiness as he thought it would be, every night he wished you would not forget him.

It’s been three years since Sunwoo left, at first you both would make some effort to at least text each other, but at a point you two gave up and just stopped talking. It was hard at the beginning, but eventually, you stopped thinking about him, keeping yourself busy was the best way to do so. You could still feel your heart sinking whenever you heard his name, but with time it didn’t hurt so much anymore.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You heard your name being called, you took your coffee order and turned around to leave, but suddenly a guy who was putting his jacket on raised his arms and knocked your cup, spilling coffee all over you.

“Oh my god... I’m so sorry…” the boy said, panicking taking a bunch of tissues to try to help you

“It’s ok, don’t worry..” you said waving your hands, showing it was fine

“I’ll pay the laundry… let me give you my number” he said searching for a piece of paper to write.

“It’s really fine, don't worry about that...” you said while holding your shirt so it would stop sticking to your body.

“But… I feel bad about it…” he said so low you almost couldn’t hear “let me pay you another coffee then”

“Alright then… I’ll just clean this first” he nodded smiling, you went to the bathroom trying to clean the coffee stains on your shirt, but almost nothing changed, for your luck, kind of, you had a sweater you could wear to hide the stains so you did. When you left the bathroom, the boy was standing there holding a cup.

“Here! I’m really sorry about that” he shyly smiled while handing you the coffee “Are you sure you don’t want me to pay for the laundry?”

"It's fine, you already got me another coffee" you smiled to reassure him

⠀⠀⠀⠀

“I can’t believe you didn’t get his number!” Chanhee walked next to you, you told him what happened at the coffee shop while you two were heading to a club.

“I- there was coffee all over me, I wasn’t really thinking…”

“Ugh you seriously… Do you even know his name?”

“No… He didn’t tell me and I didn’t ask…”

“It was right there, he was going to give you his number, you just had to accept it! Stupid…” he sighed shaking his head, frustrated that you wasted such an opportunity. You know Chanhee was scolding you in a teasing way, but you too were regretting it.

You both arrived at the club, Chanhee went to grab a drink when you saw a familiar face walking towards you.

“Hi!” he was holding a drink, smiling so innocently. You grinned, happy that you two met again when a few minutes ago you thought you would never see him again, it felt like it was destiny.

“Hey! You’re the guy that spilled my coffee right?” you asked teasingly, the boy laughed putting his drink on the table

“Yeah… it sucks that this is how you remember me…” you giggled, you were about to ask him his name but someone else interrupted you.

“Hey Kevin!” you heard another guy calling him, right after he showed up behind him softly slapping his arm “you were supposed to wait for me!”

Your eyes widened and your smile slowly faded when you looked at the other guy and when he saw you, he had the same reaction, the boy, whom you now know it’s Kevin, looked at you both not understanding what was happening.

“Do you guys know each other?”

“Y/n?” He said ignoring Kevin, in fact, he didn’t even listen to what he said.

“Sunwoo… when did you come back?” you forced a smile, hiding how awkward you were feeling at that moment

“Last week” Sunwoo looked at Kevin as if telling him to leave you two alone, Kevin noticed it and excused himself “it’s been a while”

“Yeah… Chanhee is here with me, we should all hang out sometime!”

“Yeah sure, I’ll call you!”

“Oh you still have my number?” you didn’t realize at that moment that it sounded like you were complaining about him never talking to you again.

“Um… I think I do, is it still the same?” he took his phone feeling a little embarrassed as you nodded

“Kim Sunwoo! You’re back!” Chanhee suddenly showed up and greeted Sunwoo “I thought you forgot about us”

“Of course not… I’m sorry I haven’t kept in touch” Chanhee and Sunwoo kept talking like nothing changed, just like they always did 3 years ago.

You weren’t paying attention to what they were saying, as you were looking at them, you realized that Chanhee didn’t change a lot in comparison to Sunwoo, or maybe you just never noticed because you saw Chanhee almost everyday, but you didn’t see Sunwoo for years. You were thinking about how much Sunwoo had changed, but at the same time still looked the same. He looked more mature and more handsome if that was even possible, and as you were looking at him, you smiled like an idiot without even noticing, forgetting about everything else.

“Chanhee is gonna be late…” You put your phone away after talking to Chanhee, he said he was getting ready and would arrive in a few minutes. You told him to not be late because you thought you would feel awkward if it was just you and Sunwoo, but what did you expect?

“Typical of him” Sunwoo scoffed, crossing his arms, he was sitting in front of you at the cafe. “He hasn't changed a bit uh?” he said laughing.

You two waited for him, but after almost 2 hours you realized he wasn’t coming. You took your phone to swear at him for doing this to you, Chanhee read it but didn’t reply

“I guess he is not coming” Sunwoo said and you shyly smiled, silence hitting you both and awkwardness growing. You two tried distracting yourselves with something, looking away from each other and avoiding talking, until Sunwoo clicked his tongue and broke the silence.

“I need to ask you something” he leaned in and rested his arms on the table “Why did you never answer my message?” You frowned, confused at what he was talking about.

“What message? You’re the one who never reached me anymore…”

“I know for sure I sent you a message, I waited for your response for weeks”

You took your phone and searched for his chat, you now wonder why you still have your conversation with him. “There is nothing Sunwoo… the last message was mine”

Sunwoo then did the same and showed it to you “See? I sent you an audio”

“Which I never received…” you showed your phone to him, both screens showing different things “What did it say? The audio”

“It doesn’t matter now” he sighed in relief, putting his phone away, he felt like a weight had been lifted from him “Sorry, I didn’t know you never got it… I kept resenting you for ignoring it” he chuckled embarrassedly

“It’s fine… I did the same thinking you ghosted me” you admitted, curious about what he said that he waited so long for your answer.

“Should we go somewhere else?” Sunwoo said, trying to change the subject. You agreed to him, you two stood up and started walking around just to pass the time. You told him how you met Kevin and Sunwoo talked about how he met him and how it was to live alone in another country “You know Kevin kept saying that he regretted not asking the number of a girl, someone he accidentally knocked the coffee on, if I knew it was you I would have told him to back o-” he suddenly stopped talking when he realized what he was saying, hoping you didn’t hear that.

You listened to him attentively and from what he said, it seemed like he had a good time there and maybe that’s why he never spoke to you or your friends again. You couldn’t help sulking up for a brief moment, still Sunwoo noticed it and stopped walking, when you noticed it you looked at him confused.

He walked near you and put your hair away, his face stopped a few inches from yours, you felt a cold sensation so you looked down your neck and saw a necklace. “It reminded me of you when I saw this” he was standing still in front of you smiling “I was afraid I would never have the chance to give you this”

You stared at the necklace speechless, feeling your heart beating like crazy, it was so hard for you to get over him but now you felt like the same person from 3 years ago who was head over heels for him, and now you don’t know if it’s just the feelings from the past coming back or if you’re falling for him all over again, maybe you just never stopped loving him.

You two decided to stop at a park nearby to rest, as you were walking Sunwoo suddenly stopped and picked something from the floor. You two sat down at the bench and he looked at the flower he just picked up.

“Why do I keep finding this? Is the universe trying to tell me something or what?” he giggled “Make a wish, I think I already asked for too many things”. You smiled and thought about something to wish for. The last time you did this you were with him too, and you remembered your wish was for him to reciprocate your feelings, little did you know that it was fulfilled before you even wished for it.

“I made a wish a few years ago, but I guess no flower can grant me that so I’m the only one who can make it come true” he stared at you like he was in a trance, you looked at him taken aback and your eyes met.

“What do you mean?” you did your best to sound as calmest as possible.

‘Well… fuck it I’m telling her now’ he thought before gathering the courage to say it out loud “I wished that you would know how I felt” he turned his body to you and he would slowly lean closer, more and more “I wished that one day you would be mine, I regretted every day not telling you that before” you stared at him in complete shock, his face was so close to yours your breaths mixed “I was in love with you and I’m in love with you again” he stayed silent for a second, trying to read your expression to know if he should move away “Actually I think I never stopped loving you”

He stares into your eyes, waiting for you to say something. You blinked many times and had your mouth slightly open, thinking to yourself “Am I dreaming? Did he really say that?”

“Now it’s the time you say you don’t feel the same” he smiled “Or else I’ll kiss you”

“I- you- are you serious?”

Sunwoo stayed silent and took his phone, he opened your chat and played the voice message he sent you that day he got drunk at the club.

“y/n hi… it’s Sunwoo… I miss you miss” he giggled at himself “You know… on that day you sat next to me and I needed an eraser, I could just have asked my friend in front of me, but I wanted an excuse to talk to you and I ended up scaring you, did you know you look very cute when you get scared?” he chuckled again and stayed silent for a few seconds, the effects of the alcohol still strong in his body “I heard people talking about a love that comes once in a lifetime and I thought that’s bullshit, but I’ve never known anybody like you, when I’m with you I feel so alive and free, I forget how to breathe you know? I just wish you loved me back…” Sunwoo went silent again and took a deep breath, this time starting to feel nauseous “I think I’m gonna pass out at any moment…but I really mean it… everything”

Sunwoo took a deep breath trying to figure out what you were thinking “I still feel the same way… even after all this time”, he pressed his lips together, feeling a little embarrassed about the drunk audio he just showed you “How about you answer it now?”

“That day at the airport I wanted to tell you this, I even practiced before and I lost track of time but I couldn’t tell you… since the first time I saw you, you made my heart beat like crazy and you never left my head after that, whenever I was with you I was the happiest” Sunwoo now has the same reaction you had when he confessed his feelings to you “I wonder what would be different now if I didn’t get late that day and told you that I loved you”

“You loved me? And now...?”

“I still love you Sunwoo…” Sunwoo's eyes widened and he cupped your cheeks bringing you closer to him, he smiled looking deeply into your eyes before kissing you.

“I wanted to do this for so long...” he said putting your foreheads together, his hands still cupping your face while yours were on his waist.

“Me too…” you chuckled

“I guess that it just wasn’t the right time for us, but what matters is that we can be together now” you nodded agreeing with him, he then hugged you, resting his head on your shoulders ”I need to thank all those dandelions now”

(I forgot about the taglist, is this right? I don't even remember how to do this anymore hahah, let me know if I tagged you wrong~)

can i request narancia for the 4 hcs?

(For this)

I got multiple asks about Nara hell yeah. I've been waiting for an excuse to talk about him for so long <333

Headcanon A: realistic

His skirt used to be his mom's. One of the clearest things Narancia remembers about her is how she always wore brightly-colored dresses and skirts. They tended to be cheap and outdated, since the Ghirga family didn't have much money, but, to Narancia, they always reflected how much light she brought into others' lives.

After she died, her clothes sat and collected dust in what used to be her closet. By the time Narancia came back home, his dad would often discuss packing them up and selling them. On some level, he knew his dad could never bring himself to do that. Still, the night he finally ran away for good, he snuck into the closet and took as many skirts and dresses as he could find.

He wore his favorite skirt to his Passione initiation, and continued to wear it for most of his teen years. It makes him feel like a part of her is still with him, and as he grows into his own person, the shades of orange and yellow start representing a part of himself, too.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Maybe only unrealistic by virtue of Everyone Lives AU but idk. He gets a growth spurt when he's like 18-19, to the point where he's almost the same height as Fugo. Meanwhile, Fugo, who has only managed to grow an inch or two, is in complete denial.

Thus begins a height war. Narancia wears platform boots to add a few inches, and Fugo, in retaliation, starts borrowing stilettoes from Abbacchio. Narancia stands on his toes around him and taunts him like "lmao how's the weather down there >:)" and Fugo tackles him. They stand back-to-back and make a neutral third party (usually Bucciarati) measure who's taller.

According to legend, the sheer volume of combined screaming when, one day, Bucciarati determined that Narancia was ever so slightly taller was enough to shatter windows.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

When he first joined the gang, Narancia was a bit skittish around Fugo. Not because of his temper or attitude, as others initially thought. The problem was something Narancia kept secret, as he thought it was a bit silly - it was because of his hair color. He'd had his trust recently shattered by another blond teenage boy, and it was hard to make himself realize that Fugo was different. Of course, soon enough, Narancia got past this, and he came to genuinely love Fugo, placing unwavering trust in him and knowing he'd never leave him behind as his former "friend" had.

He tries not to think about it too much, but he can't help noticing a familiar pain in his heart when Fugo stays behind at the pier - leaving them out of self-preservation, sure, but abandoning them nonetheless.

And, of course, putting trust in yet another blond boy ultimately gets Narancia killed.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Okay so basically he lives. And when he's in his 20s, he gets a bunch of tattoos. He has sleeves on both arms; one has all of the gang's stand motifs, and the other is made of apple blossoms (representing his mom) - together, he says, they represent his entire family. There's an airplane trailing across his chest, and a little cluster of bullets right over his heart (to say that Mista swoons when he first shows him is an understatement). Maybe he gets some wings or something on his back. He complains about the pain the first few times, but he loves how they let him express himself and carry the people he loves with him at all times.

Also he goes to see Shrek for his 18th birthday. He drags Mista and Fugo with him. It's glorious.

#ough narancia brainrot is strong rn. i love him #jjba #jjba headcanons #narancia ghirga #naramis

Yes that meme's what im referring to many thx! Oh I love your answer Corinth running to Syracuse (i guess) for help is so cute and Persia's reaction is definitely the coolest (cooler than all Greeks) but watch out for your beloved subjects Persia :-D Also love the awkward way Sparta reacts to whatever immediate crisis lol. Would you mind also do 17 for Athens and 18 for major characters in aasa as well? I'm curious for your characters and really find your headcanons lovely.

for sure! and thank you :) i'm glad you enjoy them!

17. Is your character holding any grudges? Are they likely to stop?

I guess in a way the plot of AaSA is Athens's grudges, haha, he will remember something minor from the bronze age that doesn't really matter, but then he's also kind of flippant and forgets a lot of things, both his own actions and those of others. I think he's more likely to make up a grievance almost on the spot by chapter 5, though he doesn't really keep track of them (as opposed to Persia, who had to remind Darius at every meal not to forget his grudge against Athens, lol)

18. If your character were trapped on a deserted island, what three things would they want to have with them? Which person would they absolutely hate to be trapped there with? Which person would they enjoy being trapped there with?

Athens, salesman that he is, would want tons and tons of olive oil (multi purpose! long term storage! shiny skin and hair!), which of course comes with pottery, so a stylus to scribble on any potsherds (accidents and ostracisms would of course happen!) would probably come in handy, and the delian league members are kind of like objects rather than people right? and...

Sparta would want his comb (and begrudgingly borrow some of Athens' oil), probably the thicker of his two cloaks (you never know), and a musical instrument of some kind (likely his pipes).

Corinth would probably want a weighing scale (someone is going to have to set up a currency on this island), her hair dye or at least her bleaching hat (hours and hours of sunlight on a desert island? she couldn't waste All of them), and she'd probably take some expensive bauble in her collection to barter for passage off that rock.

Ionia would probably want something to read (not practical, but at least no one can enforce what she can or can't do on a desert island), maybe some kind of navigation device antikythera mechanism?, and maybe some seeds or something? idk if she actually knows how to plant things but I think she'd have like, Too Much confidence.

Persia would probably want like, a nice drinking cup or bowl (hes not going to be humiliating himself drinking with his hands), uh, does his bow and arrows count as an object? at least the bow, what if there's wild game on this island etc. Much as he loves his cats, i don't think he'd want them there to end up as food, so he'd probably want something practical like a pot to make stew or tea with for his little bowl, haha. I think despite his reputation he was quite self sufficient in his youth.

Everyone would hate being stuck with Athens, but I think he wouldn't mind being stuck with the others because he thinks of most of them as "friends"...(though with Persia it's like "if you die, i'm going to eat you!"). Sparta and Corinth would initially not mind each other, but then they'd get into such big arguments about whether to wait for help or to try to do something that they'd be at each other's throats in no time. Persia would probably like someone like Sardis or Ionia there to talk to (the others would be too busy arguing or being petty to work with him).

It's valentines day and i feel like i should write SOMETHING but i can't think of anything honestly? I have all these ocs and none of them feel like particularly good subjects for it. Let's see we got for oc options:

Xiltharian/Moonlight: Rarely write for them. Their marriage was more because it was the normal thing to do than anything else.

Xilthraxia: lol. No.

Gregory: oh yeah. I haven't told you guys about Gregory. His one true love is being a bandit wizard.

Xylluna: aro

Firaga: asked one person out once. Got rejected. Has not thought about it again.

Kaz/Rikky: Already written about them a lot and I don't really feel like writing more angst right now. Actually though -- they're poly so maybe I can write something else with one (or both) of them? Or something short- term one of them had in the past? I'll have to think of other pairings do you think my fiance would mind if i just. Borrowed his character. For a little private thing for myself. Heehee. Still, though, doesn't solve the issue of having something to share.

Iyo/Eshrie: I have something in the works but I want it to be GOOD not rushed out for valentines. Also probably not something I'd share.

Luke: aro, maybe aroace, haven't decided, either way not a likely choice.

Wildclaw: aroace. Interested in dragons but not like your annoying bard friend is. (no wait for real did i actually do that by accident wtf)

Kairos: don't know him well enough yet, probably aro though. He's flirty but I can't see him in a scenario I'd want to write and share

Chrysalis: Idk I don't really write him, and I'm not sure I have interest in writing him, i like jotting down details but not writing scenes for him.

Maybe some fun AU with a bunch of them doing some kind of friends thing? Like galentines type thing. Which i have never done so idk what that looks like.

Or probably nothing! Just kinda thinking aloud here.

Note

can you please make your cold call drabble a fic?? I need it in my life.

Wow, I never thought that would become as popular as it has? I can't commit to making it a whole fic, but I did write a continuation. Exclusively in text messages. Will I write more? Maybe. It depends on how frustrating the end of the semester gets. But for now, here's another little piece of this story. (And if you want this to make sense, here's part 1)

Tuesday 1:22 pm PST

310-555-4639

Hi Luke, this is Julie Molina!

773-555-4357

doesn’t seem like you had time for more than a quick look at your calendar. sure you’re ready to make plans? 😉

Julie:

Lol yep! I’m free every day next week.

Just let me know what works for you!

Luke:

how about monday night?

instead of coffee we could get ice cream?

Julie:

That sounds perfect! I love ice cream!

Plus there’s a fantastic old-timey ice cream shop near my apartment

Luke:

cool. meet there around 7?

Julie:

Can we say 7:30? Traffic.

Luke:

definitely. 7:30. send me the address?

Julie:

You got it. I can’t wait!!

Wednesday 9:17 am PST

Luke:

so jules

i was thinking about our plans

Julie:

Yeah?

You’re not changing your mind, right?

Luke:

no way!!!

not what i was thinking

actually the opposite

Julie:

The opposite of?

Luke:

opposite of canceling

can i steal 2 nights of your week?

Julie:

Depends. What for?

Luke:

so you can meet the guys

maybe that’s dumb

but they’re my people

i want to meet flynn too

and carlos

and anyone else

since you and i are already friends, our friends should be friends

or something

idk alex worded it better

maybe this is a bad idea

nevermind

Julie:

No, I love it!

I’ve been dying to meet the guys, anyway

So, does this mean they’re getting ice cream with us?

Or is ice cream just us and we’re doing something else with them?

Luke:

how about ice cream just us, then we get drinks as a group another night?

willie’s bartending on wednesday at some underground club in los feliz called jumeluf.

it’s a dumb name but the band is supposed to be excellent

according to willie

Julie:

My brother’s mentioned that place. I’m in!

Luke:

cool i’ll see you then

well, after i see you before

i’ll see you mobfay

**mondst

**MOONDAY

ugh you know what i mean

Julie:

lol yeah I do. I’ll see you Monday!

Thursday 7:52 pm PST

Luke:

so there’s something i didn’t consider

about any outings without lila

i won’t have a car in la

because mine’s in chicago

Julie:

Oh, I didn’t think about that

Do you want me to pick you up? I don’t mind!

You’ll just need to give me your hotel info

Luke:

nah i can borrow reggie’s car

but he said he has to meet you first

because he’s an idiot

is that okay?

Julie:

Sure! I don’t care!

So drinks on Monday? Or ice cream with everyone?

Luke:

drinks monday if that’s cool

flynn can come too

for safety or whatever

although i promise me and the guys are cool

but bobby says his sister would never meet a group of guys without a friend

especially not in a bar

for safety

but also i want to meet her

i can’t remember if she was coming anyway

Julie:

Yeah, I asked her but she was busy on Wednesday.

She’s free Monday, though!

That sounds great!

Will Willie be working?

Luke:

yup!

he’s working mon-thurs at jumeluf, this weird artsy bar

then fri-sat he’s teaching painting with a twist classes

so the only way i’ll get to meet him is if we go to his work

since i’m working during the day while he’s not

tho we did facetime once with alex

Julie:

Cool! Yeah, I wanted to meet him too, so that’s perfect!

And Flynn has just agreed with Bobby’s sister

“No woman with half a brain meets a group of strange guys in a bar they’ve never been to without their best friend sitting two tables away drinking water, carrying binoculars, and armed with pepper spray and/or a knife.”

She will have both, by the way.

A small knife, but a knife.

Luke:

should i be worried for our safety??

Julie:

Definitely not!

Flynn’s protective, but not unnecessarily violent

She won’t hurt you if you’re not a threat

And I’m trusting you not to be

You don’t seem like the type

Luke:

cool

so long as we’re all still alive and not in the er by the end of the night

Julie:

Perf! It’ll be great!

Friday 8:33 pm PST

Luke:

what’s the weather like in la right now

it’s so cold here i’ve forgotten how to dress for warmer temps

Julie:

Oh, it’s a little chilly. Mid 60s mostly this week

I’ve been wearing cardigans over my dresses for a while

Not that I can think of a men’s clothing equivalent to that outfit

But that’s been my solution.

What did the boys say?

Luke:

they rolled their eyes and then ignored me

Julie:

Well, what do you normally wear in LA at this time of year?

I’m sure that would be fine.

Luke:

Luke sent a photo

Julie:

Not sure your boss will want you working in a cutoff band tee

That *is* you middle-left, correct?

Luke:

yup! how’d you know?

Julie:

Lucky guess, mostly. It was the vibe

Plus I saw the blond guy at Eats N Beats, so I assume he’s Alex

Process of elimination from there.

You’ve talked about how in love with his fancy red bass Reggie is

And there’s something in Bobby’s face…

He doesn’t look quite as obsessed with music as you

Still like a nice guy, but not crazed enough to be you

Luke:

ouch

i’m not crazed

but also you are completely right

alex would be laughing at me right now

saying if even the girl i talk to once a month knows, there’s something wrong with me.

Julie:

I guess it’s good they’re ignoring you

But Flynn and I are about to walk into the theater

Talk to you later!

Saturday 10:26 am PST

Luke:

Luke sent a photo

Julie:

You got snow!!!! I’m so jealous!!!

I’ve never seen snow in person before!

Luke:

no way!! snow was such a common part of my childhood

i’ve got so many fun snow day memories

one year, we got out of school for three whole days for snow

reggie stayed with us for a couple days and we built snowmen and a fort and drank cocoa

mom made us matching scarves.

bright red, so we would stand out in the snow

Julie:

Awww, that’s so sweet!

Do you still have it?

And will you build a snowman this morning?

Julie sent a gif

Luke:

lol i’ve never seen frozen, but i’m definitely more anna than elsa

and no, i don’t have time for a snowman today

i’ve gotta take mom’s car to the shop and then pick up some groceries

confirm that mrs. callahan is still coming tuesday morning

run to the pharmacy to refill mom’s prescriptions

and pack for la

but man would i love to build a snowman instead

Julie:

I guess you don’t have time for a snow angel either

Too bad!

I’ve always wanted to make a snow angel

Luke:

snow angels take way less time

i’ll try to fit one in

Julie:

Whether you get a snow angel in or not, make sure you get the essentials done

And then get some rest!

Can’t have you too tired to hang out when you get to town!

Luke:

never

i’ll get everything done and sleep on the plane if i have to

i’m too excited to meet you

Julie:

😊

Same

Saturday 4:32 pm PST

Luke:

Luke sent a photo

Julie:

You did it!!! So fun!!!

I hope you get some good rest now!

And maybe drink some hot cocoa?

Luke:

i went with coffee, actually

but yeah, more fun than I remember

and now i’m resting-ish

Julie:

Ish?

Luke:

i’m resting. and also doing something else

Julie:

Is that something relaxing and restful?

Luke:

i’m working on a song

Julie:

So no.

Luke!

Get your thoughts down and then put the notebook away and watch a movie or something

Luke:

i hear you. but also

i want it to be done so the boys and i can try it out

Julie:

I’m sure they’ll help you write it if you let them!

Just think about it!

Travel is the opposite of restful

So rest while you can!

Luke:

i’ll try

Julie:

That’s all I ask!

Sunday 6:37 am PST

Julie:

Julie sent a photo

I know you’re probably not awake yet, but the sunrise was beautiful this morning

I had to share it with someone, and Flynn is sick of my sunrise obsession

Sunday 8:21 am PST

Luke:

dude that’s stunning

i love that

good morning!

in 12ish hours i’ll be on a plane to la

Julie:

You’re coming in today?

I thought you’ll arrive tomorrow

Luke:

we’re getting in just after midnight.

lila’s big on night travel, apparently

Julie:

Oooh

I never travel at night

You’ll have to let me know how it goes!

Luke:

Sunday 7:15 pm PST

Luke:

619-555-2583:

Dad called a family meeting

But Ill be back in the morning

Luke:

lila hired a car service to take us to the hotel

but you can get me from the hotel

Julie:

773-555-4865:

773-555-4468:

Reggie! Don’t be rude!

That’s Julie, right? Are you Julie?

Julie:

lol yep, that’s me!

Reggie:

Luke:

REG

773-555-4468:

Sorry about him. Reggie’s got a good heart. He’s just… Reggie

You’ll understand when you meet him.

I’m Alex

Julie:

No worries hahaha! My best friend would probably react the same way

But more intense, actually

And no, I’m not a serial killer

Reggie:

alex im wounded

dont make me come in there and fight you

619-555-2583:

Noooooooo wait to fight him till I come home

Ive got money on Reg winning but I have to have video proof

Alex:

Guess he’s not the only one I’ll be fighting this week, Robert

Bobby:

If it makes you feel better Willies got complete confidence in you

Alex:

Bobby:

Duuuudeee some of us are trying to sleep

05/12/20XX

So , Sprigg was kind enough to let me borrow this … device for a bit ! Toorie and Mondo are off doing … something , at the moment , and Sprigg told me to write about something here , but I do not remember what they told me to write .

What did you see?

Er … what ?

In the vision. What did you see in the vision?

That , I … may not be able to answer .

…What do you mean?

I do not remember much things from visions , including what I said or saw .

Dammit.

… However , I do remember a few things .

Wait, like what? What do you remember?

…

…Mauna?

Dust . I remember … seeing dust .

Dust? Well, that isn’t very helpful, that’s for su-

And statues . Statues that … resembled the Celestials .

Wait, what?!

Rubble and debris , too . Mostly bricks that were a coral-orange in color …

(Sprigg can be seen writing things down in a notebook, using their mouth to hold a pen.)

Mhgo on.

… I think I may also remember seeing what looked like a stone with inscriptions on it , under all of the debris .

Mhwhat did the inshcripshionsh shay?

I do not remember .

(Sprigg spits out the pen.)

Oh, okay.

…What did the stone look like?

It was-

*SMACK!*

Scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape…

Uh , what was that ??

I’ll go check.

(Sprigg runs over to the hotel room window and opens it with their leafstalk. They then look down to see Flitz lying face-down on the ground.)

Flitz crashed.

… Oh , right . Tweedles cannot see glass . The same applies for any birdlike Monster .

FLIITZ?

THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

(Flitz tries to lift her head up to face Sprigg peering down from the window. She flies up.)

ugh… uh, sorry, Sprigg! it’s just, uhh-

What?

…you will NOT believe what just happened to Finci.

What happened to him?

come with me!

(Flitz zips away.)

WAIT—

Let us go follow her !

(Mauna grabs Sprigg and brings them with her down the Hotel staircase. They run across Toorie and Mondo, standing in the doorway.)

… What Are They Doing ?

idk but we should probably follow them

Okay .

(Toorie and Mondo follow their friends, who are following Flitz, who is flying to the Air Island Castle.)

What’s All This About ??

oh, uh, Toorie! Finci, he, uh, well, she-

HOLY HECK, SHE GOT MUTED!

theo-

(uhhh tagging my moot @paidexp bcs the Bird is here again!! sorry if I’m annoying you hhhhh-)

FINCI GOT MUTED! HOW-

WHA??

theo, please stop overreacting. you’re acting like how Urc was when-

ONE OF MY FRIENDS ISN’T ABLE TO SAY *ANYTHING* ANYMORE!! WE’VE GOTTA HELP HIM!!

ugh.

How the hell did a loud-ass fucker like Finci get muted??

I dunno! Maybe it’s the same thing that got Adelynn last night!

There is a chance .

oh, Mauna! you’re here! wh-

This may have something to do with the vision I had …

uh what

———————————————————————————————————

(The crowd around the muted Air Wubbox continues to chatter.)

Oh . So THAT’S What All The Ruckus Is About …

damn

2 muted monsters in one week

“Finci, can you say something?”

(Finci tries to open her mouth.)

…

(Nothing comes out.)

“Oh, he really IS muted…”

“How did this happen?!”

“Maybe she just lost his voice!”

“After what happened to Adelynn last night? I don’t think so.”

I’m Gonna Go Help Him !

toors i dont-

(Toorie rushes to help the saddened Air Wubbox.)

Hey , Finci !

…?

You Alright ?

…

Can You Try Saying Something ?

……

Oh …

…8(

Well , Tell You What ? I’m Sure It’ll Get Better Soon ! Before You Know It , You’ll Be Up And Singing Again !

…<8)

<8(…

Oh .

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

We should go help Finci! He looks really upset :(

theo, I don’t think anything would-

Come on! Our friend needs our help!!

*sigh*

(Theo hops over to a very saddened Finci, who is sitting next to Toorie, who desperately tried to comfort him.)

Hey, Fince! You okay?

<8(

You need a hug? I’m probably WAY too small to give you one, but I’ll try!

…

Bring it in!

(The Yawstrich tries to hug the Air Wubbox, which… surprisingly goes well, for a bird and someone who is probably 2.5x its size.)

Are you feeling better yet?

…

Hey , Maybe A Joke Could Cheer Him Up !

…Yeah! Why did the Tweedle cross the road?

to get to the other side. Theo, you’ve told this joke enough times for all of us to know.

Aww :(

I am afraid there is no apparent way to help Finci .

Dang it! I really thought I could help…

Well , At Least We Tried !

Hey, Finci?

What do you remember happening before you got muted? You can write it down here.

(Sprigg hands Finci a notepad and a pen.)

…

(Finci proceeds to write, and gives the notepad back to Sprigg. The writing is sloppy, but Sprigg makes it out to say this:)

“I wuz singing and doing my uzual biznuss like flying, whensudennly my coar started hurding. Someone azked me if I wuz okay but then I coulnd say anything foar sum reezun”

…Thanks, but you REALLY need to work on your spelling.

(Finci starts to fly away. The crowd leaves.)

Sprigg !

What?

You Didn’t Have To Say That ! You Just Made Him Feel Worse >:(

But his spelling really WAS-

>:|

…FINE. I’ll go apologize. Mauna, you can have this back.

(Sprigg returns the device to Mauna.)

…Okay . Erm , does anybody want to do something ? Because yesterday , Sprigg told me that we are leaving soon .

Wait, you guys are leaving? But you just came here <:(

well we gotta continue our adventure somehow

Can’t we come with you all?

theo, you’re grounded, remember?

Aww, but-

that means you have to stay here on Air Island.

Sorry , Theo ! I’d Invite You If I Could , But I Can’t Change The Fact That , Well , You’re Apparently Grounded .

I did say we could do something here before leaving , though ! That way , we would not forget about each other .

Sounds good to me!

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

this was supposed to be posted yesterday hhhhhhh-

anyways yeah!! uh they’re leaving after I get home from school so yeah
