April Aspec Year Submission!

First Date - Mutsurie (AU - no ghouls)

Tags: Mutsurie, mild angst, reference to Mutsuki's sexual abuse, hurt/comfort, Urie Kuki is autistic, Mutsuki Tooru is autistic and asexual, autistic love, Urie Kuki is in love with Mutsuki Tooru, Mutsuki is...getting there

I wrote this in a way that I lowkey projected onto Mutsuki because he's just like me for real 😿 Basically I wrote his part from how I wish people took me being asexual. I am normal and love Mutsuki a normal amount 🦭

I'll be cross posting it to my ao3 later! :)

@aroace-kodama-sakuko

Urie fiddled with his tie for what felt like the millionth time. He shouldn't be nervous, he didn't have reason to be. For his own sanity, he wanted to believe that it was just an ordinary outing with Mutsuki. Yet he found himself repulsed by the thought. 'Why am I trying so hard to change the narrative when that's not what either of us want?' Urie stared at himself in the mirror, vaguely repulsed by his appearance. Suddenly his hair was too messy, his eyebags had become darker, his arms were too lanky, and his tie still wasn't straight. The black suit felt like it became ten times the size of what he needed. He just shook his head. 'What is going on? I've always looked sharp before, today is no different.' After one last look into the mirror, he grabbed his dress coat, keys, and the simple flower he had bought for Mutsuki. Before entering his car, he sent a message to Mutsuki: 'I'm on my way.'

The drive over felt simultaneously like the longest time in Urie's life and also the shortest. Urie had every intention to get out and escort Mutsuki from the door to his car but the other man was standing outside his building already. His hair was pulled back from his face, only loose strands framed his face. His suit was a deep grey colour while his tie was nearly the same shade of green as his hair. He looked stunning. Urie found himself fighting a blush but with the way Mutsuki gave him a knowing look when he sat down in the passenger side, he knew he had failed.

"Hey," Mutsuki grinned and leaned over to rest his head on Urie's shoulder as greeting. Urie let it happen, opting to lean his head down gently on top of Mutsuki's in a silent greeting. Urie basked in the moment, grieving the loss of Mutsuki's warmth once he moved his head up. "So...where are we off to?" Mutsuki was cut off quickly as Urie pulled the flower out from his coat. "For you," Urie deadpanned. Emotions were still not his strongsuit but for Mutsuki he would learn to show every emotion possible if it meant Mutsuki would stay with him.

At the reveal of the flower, Mutsuki let a soft smile cover his face. "I hope you like it. (Your smile is stunning.)" Mutsuki let out a small laugh. "Thank you Urie...I love it," his sentence faded into a whisper while the same smile still graced his features. Before Urie could become too entranced by the man in front of him, he decided it to be best if he answered Mutsuki's question. "We will be going to the Italian restaurant around the way. (I made sure they had vegetarian options for you.)" Mutsuki let the small smile completely overtake his features. "I love that restaurant...thank you." Urie only nodded and turned back forward to start the car and begin the drive to the restaurant. Urie hadn't known that Mutsuki loved the restaurant, only that he was vegetarian. Once the car shuttered to life, Urie had to take a deep breath before beginning the drive. It would be okay.

Mutsuki only made small comments on the drive there. He kept fidgeting in his seat, anxiety rolling off him in waves. Once it became too much, Urie offered his hand out. He looked over briefly at Mutsuki's expression only to see tears in the other man's eyes. Urie's stomach dropped. 'Oh no.' Immediately pulling over, Urie quickly got out of the car and walked to Mutsuki's side to open the door.

"I'm s-sorry. I'm sorry." Mutsuki kept repeating as Urie squatted down in front of him as Mutsuki shifted so his legs were hanging out the car. Urie simply shook his head. "Do not apologize. (I hate to see you in pain.)" Mutsuki took in deep, shaky breaths as Urie simply observed. His legs became uncomfortable from squatting for so long but he couldn't bring himself to care.

"I'm sorry..." Mutsuki finally spoke up after a while. Urie was about to tell him not to apologize but Mutsuki held a single finger up. "I know you don't want an apology but I need you to understand what you're signing up for." Urie only stared back, unsure what to say or do in this situation. "To begin, I can't...I can't give you what you want. I'm asexual and I just don't want sexual intimacy. Not ever." Urie stared back before saying, "You are what I want." Mutsuki's tears only spilled more. "No. I can't...I can't give you your sexual desires. I just...can't." Urie's face remained the same but Mutsuki could tell he was taking it in. "I don't need that. I need you. You are who I want. (Nothing would make me stop loving you.)" Mutsuki's tears were still streaming but his lips turned up into a smile. Leaning down, Mutsuki placed a small kiss on Urie's face. "I became anxious because I realized you may expect that of me after the date. Then my mind went to darker, more negative thoughts in which the other man didn't care what I wanted and did it anyways. I knew you wouldn't have hurt me but..." Urie just raised his hand. "You don't need to explain. I'm not mad. You are allowed to feel things Mutsuki. You are allowed to set boundaries. (Those men will pay for what they've done to you.)" Mutsuki just nodded, swinging his legs back into the car.

Before closing the car door, Urie asked, "Would you prefer to get takeout from this restaurant and go back to your place to eat it? We also do not have to continue this at all if you are feeling overwhelmed." Mutsuki blinked several times up at Urie before smiling again. "Urie, do you mind leaning down a bit?" Urie nodded, bending forward until he was only inches away from Mutsuki's face. Mutsuki leaned forward and gave a gentle peck to Urie's lips. Urie's ears became a brilliant shade of red and he leaned back. "I would love the first option." Urie's brain was still processing the small kiss but he nodded anyways. Returning to the driver's seat, he started the car again and drove to the restaurant. The rest of their night was unforgettable and when the night eventually came to an end, Mutsuki gave Urie another kiss on the cheek before bidding farewell.

Walty fic for ace week: 'Last chance'

I don't have the time to make a visual yet as I'm going away for a few days, but the first part of the ace Henry thing I wrote for ace week is now up on ao3!

I meant to post it as a one-shot, but in the spirit of spreading awareness, you can have one part now and another at the end of the week.

Read 'Last chance' chapter 1/2 on ao3.

Summary:

As Henry and Walter's friendship takes a romantic turn, Henry decides to take the last chance to come out to his best friend before everything changes.

OR: Kissing - discussion of asexuality (including past acephobia, please read the tags & start notes) - hugging - getting together - kissing. Post-S2 (set in April).

Not consistent with my other ace Henry fics.

--

Henry’s knee-jerk response would be to just brush the question off. The truthful answer could get in the way of his plan for the rest of the night – rediscovering Walter’s features up close and setting higher scores on the scale that was just invented for this occasion – and it won’t even be relevant for a while yet. He may have been wrong about the tongue thing, but he knows more about the stuff that’s supposed to follow than Walter does. Or rather, he knows more about them in the context of an actual relationship, and whatever they’re doing here, it certainly isn’t going to be a hookup.

But now that the rush of their first kiss has faded, it’s impossible to ignore that Walter is unwittingly asking the very thing he’s been wanting to tell for ages, and this is a pretty unique window for it.

find me here and speak to me by prettyboybuckley

18.5k | 3/3 | Mature | No Warnings Apply | Evan “Buck” Buckley/Eddie Diaz

here it is: the ace kink fic that i’ve been talking about for the past few months. Or, the first part of it, at least - the one with all the talking (so much talking) ❤️

Summary:

“I think you were right,” Eddie says as he dries off another plate, not even looking at Buck.

Buck pauses his dishwashing, keeping his hands in the soapy water.

“I was?”

“About me being… asexual.”

“Okay,” Buck says as he pulls his hands out of the water and reaches out to gently take the dish towel from Eddie so he can dry them off. “How do you feel about it?”

OR: Buck helps Eddie figure some things out about himself and somehow they find themselves tumbling into the possibility of a platonic BDSM dynamic

Read on ao3 - Part 1 of in your arms i feel safe

“I’d watched three episodes of Sanctuary Moon and was fast forwarding through a sex scene when Dr. Mensah sent me some images through the feed. I don’t have any gender or sex-related parts (if a construct has those you’re a sexbot in a brothel, not a murderbot) so maybe that’s why I find sex scenes boring. Though I think that even if I did have sex-related parts I would find them boring”

Hi, I love your fics. Feel free to say no to this request but I was wondering if maybe you could write something about asexual Jason Todd? I've always felt like he'd be aspec and identified with him because of that. You write intimacy and love without sex so well, and it'd be wonderful to see it with ace Jason. Maybe one where he tells the reader and he's really scared but they accept him? But if you don't want to, completely fine. Thank you for sharing your writing. 🧡

Hey there nonnie. This one is very personal to me; I'm also ace and have often had the thought that Jason is aspec too. I think sometimes I write him that way without realizing it. I hope you and others enjoy this one! 💓

asexual!jason todd x gn!reader. tw sexuality discussion, some internalized acephobia, love confession. please be kind in the comments.

****

Rain patters on the kitchen window. You'd come over with the excuse of the two egg and cheese sandwiches from the bodega Jason likes so much.

"I think I could eat egg and cheese sandwiches for every meal," he says, mustard on his nose.

You want to say something stupid. Something about bringing him egg and cheese sandwiches in the rain forever. Something about a grave and hunger and what it means to be fed, to feed.

"From anywhere or specifically from the bodega?" you ask.

"Bodega, obviously. Alfred's, too. And yours. Food made with love." He shakes the foil. "I can taste the love."

"Jason?"

"Hm?"

"I..." You touch your nose. "Mustard."

He wipes it off. The thin takeout napkin is tiny in his hand.

"Don't even know how it got up there," he mumbles.

Oh, God. You're about to say something stupid.

"I love you," you blurt. "I—I'm falling in love with you, Jason."

Silence. Jason freezes mid-bite.

"Fuck," he whispers.

You watch as he springs from the couch and starts to pace. He chews on a cuticle, eyes wild. The sandwich is abandoned on the coffee table. You frown.

"Jason. Jay. Hey. Jaybird."

Nothing. You catch his free hand and rub his knuckles. Jason's eyes dart to you. He stops.

"I didn't say that to scare you," you say, even though it hurts, the idea that your love scares him. "It's okay if you don't feel the same."

"I do," Jason says miserably. "Fuck, I do. I love you so much. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

You squeeze his hand, suddenly, incandescently happy.

"You do?" you ask.

"But I—" He shakes his head. "I can't love you the way you want me to."

"Jay, whatever you think coming back did, I promise that—"

"No." Jason swallows hard and shuts his eyes. "God, that's the thing. 'S not from the Pit. I thought—y'know, I waited for everything to slide into place. The Lazarus Pit is s'posed to resurrect a person. Build them anew. But I felt the same."

"Felt the same?"

Jason looks at you then, and you know that expression. It's a plea. Don't use this information to hurt me.

You tug him back to the couch, coax him into sitting. He very carefully doesn't let any part of him touch you.

"I didn't, uh, have a name for it when I was younger. I didn't, like, think about sex or anything like that very much before B took me in 'cause I was in survival mode, y'know?"

"That makes sense, Jay," you offer gently.

"Right. Well, but it just... stayed that way. And before you ask, yeah, I've tried. I've tried to force the feelings." He takes a shaky breath. "I remember Dick telling me about how he'd started dating Kori—I mean, Kori, she's beautiful, y'know? And I was like, what's wrong with me that I can't feel that? I knew that she was beautiful, logically, but I didn't... feel it. I picked it apart for months, trying to figure out why I couldn't be like him or B or Selina."

"Oh, Jay..."

"No, I know. I tried. I crushed on a few people, but I never acted on it 'cause I knew there was something... different. Something to hide. And then I thought the Pit would give that to me, that feeling I've never had, and it didn't. And I guess I should be happy that it's not something that needs to be fixed or restored or whatever, but all I feel is shame. I feel sick when someone looks at me like I'm a piece of meat. I attract more attention with how I look now, and it's worse than before, having no control over how people desire me."

You frown. "Jason, if I've ever made you feel that way, I hope you'd tell me. I'm sorry if I have."

"No, you—you're perfect. God, you make me feel so safe. Cared for in a way I haven't known in a long time. And that's why this is so shit. 'Cause this won't work. You want something I can't give you."

"Who says I don't want what you can give me?"

Jason laughs. It comes out choked. "Oh, no, no. You don't know what you're saying. Maybe it'll take six months or a year or two years but you'll get fed up with not having sex. I'm not worth celibacy. I know I'm not."

"Jason." You lightly touch his cheek. He looks at you, eyes wet. "Oh, Jay. Why do you think that? Why do you think you're only good for your body?"

"Hah. I've only been good for my body for years now. 'S nothing new, and it doesn't matter whether I'm a boyfriend or a soldier."

"Jason. It does matter. It does. You're not a body to me, you're a person. A brain. A heart. A good soul."

He blinks fast. "Don't... y'don't have to say that stuff. Let me down easy. It's okay if you leave. I don't have what you want."

"But you do. There's no reason you don't. Sex? I can do without."

He scoffs. "That easy, huh?"

"With you? Yes," you say. "Easiest choice I've ever made, actually. Like deciding to bring you a breakfast sandwich. I woke up and I did that. Because I love you."

His fingers creep to yours. You hold them as soon as he's within reach.

"I'm not gonna change," he says.

Jason thinks it's a warning. You see it for what it is: hope.

"That's alright," you say, squeezing his hand. "I'm not trying to change you."
