[stargirldotcom]

been absolutely obsessed with criminal minds lately. so imagine...

pro barista!reader who visits the bau to drop off a freshly baked treat from their cafe for hotch and tries some coffee from his mug. only to be appalled by what's in it. considering the fact that they have a jet you'd think they could afford higher quality coffee. but of course, who could blame a group of overworked federal agents for just wanting any caffeine fix they could get. still, you refused to let your husband drink the office brew when you could make better.

so, despite his initial reluctance and insistence that he's fine with the bureau's coffee, you start making hotch his own coffee every morning. at least, the ones he starts from home. with the help of your espresso machine, you spoil him with freshly ground beans and his perfect ratio of foamed milk to espresso. you even surprise him with different types of beans every week to figure out which is his favourite.

when the team realises what's in the tumbler he's started bringing to work and why he hasn't been drinking the office coffee as often, they start protesting. they tease him relentlessly about being spoiled, or that he should be a "man of the people" and drink the same coffee they do. so in an attempt at humour, aaron jokes that if they have a problem with it, they should take it up with you.

to his own surprise, they actually do.

imagine his shock when you walk into the round table room the next day with a crate of six coffee cups in one hand. you place it in the middle of the table, noting that each one's been named. "a little going away gift," is what you call it as you set it down. everyone picks theirs up with a smile and a chorus of thanks makes its way to you.

"hope this going away gift becomes a regular thing," emily says. to which you simply chuckle and nod.

however, you still clutch a seventh cup in your other hand. this one you carry over to aaron, who's standing by the table. "and this last one..." you turn the cup around in your hand, as if looking for the name. "is for the handsome unit chief."

the smile reaches your eyes as you hand it to him. your fingers brush and both of you stay in place for a bit, wanting the touch but knowing he's not partial to pda. his own smile graces aaron's strained features. it's a kind that's rarely ever seen by the rest of the team. a kind of smile reserved only for you, paired with a kind of gaze only you ever see. "thank you, honey."

• ⭐️🎖️ let the light out, by uhohshouto — kagehina make a bet in which the other one must ask for something of the loser. kageyama wants a kiss… and then something more. seriously though, i can’t believe this; it’s a wonderful story, so entertaining. rated e!

• 🎖️⭐️ pursuit verse, series by emleewrites — a gambler hinata and an attorney kageyama based on the ace attorney game. never played the game. but the story? deserves to be printed. if you never read it, you need to. hear me out: you need to.

• know you better, by mysterytwin — bakery worker kageyama and spell shop owner hinata in a world of magic! great development and very poetic.

OBJECTUM MOVIE REVIEW: ELECTRIC DREAMS (1984)

okay so i’m starting by saying this movie is Awesome. its awesome as fuck as hell. if you’re here for any sort of formal review, then i’m so sorry bc it’s not gonna be. yes, this movie is a cheesy 80’s rom-com. no, i don’t give a shit. it’s silly and real as hell! my only complaint is that i wish the computer got a happy ending. i really recommend this movie to anyone who is techum because it shows good romantic and platonic attraction (it’s only platonic if u don’t realize miles and edgar are gay). 8.5/10 ⭐️

In A Holidaze

Christina Lauren

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked this book the most out of the Christmas Time Loop genre because it, for the most part kind of abandoned the time loop aspect of it and was just a really good festive rom com.

Where other festive time loop novels really ham up the concept of the time loop and have the character relive the same 24 hours over and over and over again, this one was different, having the main character relive the same week over and over again, sending her back to the start of the week when something went wrong.

But she quickly starts figuring things out and thus the time loop evens out and she’s left to explore herself and the romance which I really enjoyed.

It was fairly similar to Meet Cute in which she’s puppeteering this shitty situation to her advantage so that she can land the man of her dreams.

It’s a little creepy and obsessive and she has to learn that happiness isn’t about erasing her mistakes or landing the man of her dreams, it’s about owning those mistakes, learning from them and moving on to build a better and brighter future, starting with yourself… and of course landing your dream man because it is a rom com after all.

The pacing at the start was a little slow but once I hit the 100 page mark I really flew through the book.

Book Review: My Sister’s Big Fat Indian Wedding by Sajni Patel

•

Synopsis (from Amazon.com): Zurika Damani is a naturally gifted violinist with a particular love for hip hop beats. But when you’re part of a big Indian family, everyone has expectations, and those certainly don’t include hip hop violin. After being rejected by Juilliard, Zuri's last hope is a contest judged by a panel of top tier college scouts. The only problem? This coveted competition happens to take place during Zuri’s sister’s extravagant wedding week. And Zuri has already been warned, repeatedly, that she is not to miss a single moment.

In the midst of the chaos, Zuri’s mom is in matchmaking mode with the groom’s South African cousin Naveen—who just happens to be a cocky vocalist set on stealing Zuri’s spotlight at the scouting competition. Luckily Zuri has a crew of loud and loyal female cousins cheering her on. Now, all she has to do is to wow the judges for a top spot, evade getting caught by her parents, resist Naveen’s charms, and, oh yeah . . . not mess up her sister’s big fat Indian wedding. What could possibly go wrong?

Book Length: 368 pages

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

•

My Review: The author of this book wrote a very enchanting young adult rom-com that made me feel like I was part of all the festivities. It made me reminisce about how extravagant weddings are in my Liberian culture too. It’s a whole production that lasts days just like this wedding in the book. The main character was so well-written. She was really struggling between being present for family traditions and chasing her dream. Some of the other characters were a bit annoying but I get what the author was trying to do when they were written in that manner. It was a great read. Oh, and the cover of this book is really cute!

The Boyfriend Agreement by Vivian August

•}ARC through Booksirens{•

⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I always do, I want to point out my enjoyment of the unique character names! I swear, it makes a difference! I’m all for a dual POV! I just wish we got more of Julien’s than Geneva’s. I never really disliked either of the main characters. I understood where they were coming from, and never had to play favorites (but Julien was my favorite). Geneva and Julien are both celebrities, except neither of them see life that way. Julien is focused on his family, and Geneva is focused on hiding from everyone. A chance arose for them to help each other, and they definitely did just that! Sure, they got the situation under control, but it was more than that. They helped each other live again. It was so sad seeing the both of them stuck. Julien was there for Geneva in ways that made my heart melt. Protecting her, taking care of her. He always had such a sixth sense in knowing when she needed him most. Julien struggles with his past and his family, and for Geneva to completely disregard that, ignoring his words and his pain, especially when they matched her own was heartbreaking. Julien deserves more love and trust than that. I’m so glad they got their crap together so quickly! I really would have liked to see a bit more of their After. I was not expecting Julien to be such the dominant type. Or for their sudden switch to being physical. My jaw hit the floor! I had to reread it to make sure I didn’t miss a dream sequence! I was not prepared for things to get so steamy! (This is so much more than a rom-com!) Also, someone explain to me how in all the time I’ve spent reading X-rated books, THIS is the first time I’ve come across a rom-com with toys?!

My Favorite Quotes:

•”Well, you don’t have to take care of things yourself.”

•”I can’t decide where I want to start.”

•”I can’t wait to make you come.” “Then get to it.”

•”Harder. I won’t break.”

•”I have a lot of backlogged fantasies to run through with you. Enough for a long time.”

nice to meet you again

miguel o’hara x spiderperson!reader

content: dead characters (mentioned), reader is a variant of miguel's spouse and vice versa

word count: 2k

summary: finding out that the multiverse is real and that there are other versions of you is shocking. finding out that there’s a team of hundreds or thousands of spider-themed superheroes just like you in the multiverse is even more shocking. finding out that another version of your husband, who was dead in your universe, is alive and well and even leading said team? harrowing.

though you had speculated the possibility and theorised of a multiverse, you would usually brush off the idea for more urgent matters. such as saving the city. but now that you had been pulled into spider society, a nearly infinite group of people just like you, it wasn’t something you could set aside so easily.

entering spider society was already an immense shock to your system. you fought a strange villain that just didn't seem to blend with the background and encountered a similarly suited hero while doing so. though you were wary of her at first, she instantly proved herself by helping you capture the villain. after that, she gave an all-too-brief explanation along with absolutely no time for you to process and pulled you through a colourful portal, into a futuristic world.

in that futuristic dimension, you were met with even more individuals (aptly dubbed 'spider-people') with powers and suits that looked like yours. finally, the other spiderperson allowed you time to process when you stopped by the cafeteria on your tour of the facility. then, you were being thrust into yet another new situation when she stated that the big boss and leader of this entire operation wished to see you. something about this made you nervous, despite the confidence you had built over a decade of vigilantism.

–

meeting miguel chilled you to the bone. your newly-made spider friend led you to his office for your introduction and you were already unnerved by the dark reds and blues of the area which contrasted the much brighter lighting in the rest of the building. however, when you saw the figure standing at the high platform ahead, you immediately froze. a tingling sensation ran through your body and it wasn't your usual spider sense. you knew that it was him. the all-too-familiar shape of his body wasn’t exactly like one you had memorised through years of being together. he had a stronger, more defined musculature, but you still recognised him. his posture and the way his hair was slicked back was identical to that of your husband. your miguel.

but your miguel was gone. your miguel had been gone for five years. so who was this?

the other spider began to introduce him, but everything she said was tuned out. all your senses were hyper-focused on miguel, and he could feel that. he felt your stare burning into his back, but he stood still, eyes wandering the screens and fingers tapping here and there. he refused to turn back at you until anyone mentioned anything. he couldn’t bare it.

miguel had actually been watching you for a while now. he refused to let you on the team, despite pleas from jess and peter b about how good of a spider you were. yes, you were highly experienced, and yes, your skills would be an amazing addition to the team, but he couldn’t do it. he couldn’t risk losing another one of you. he feared even seeing another one of you face to face. he had already lost his version of you, the mother of his child and the love of his life, twice. he was terrified of doing that again.

and he knew you would be shaken by seeing him.

at least, that’s what he said to reason with himself. even though it had been a few years since you lost your miguel, his defence was how hard it is to get over losing a loved one. which was partially true. which was partially true. he would know, because he himself hadn’t gotten over losing you and gabriella. but the others kept calling his bullshit until, one day, an anomaly was pulled into your universe. after encountering a very persistent jessica drew, he allowed the spider in charge of the mission to make contact with you. that same spider introduced you to spider society, which led to the situation at hand.

the spider with you was enthusiastic, as most other spiderpeople are, and frantically waved to miguel. “hey miguel! i’ve got that new recruit you wanted to see!” she yelled up to his platform as she waved with her entire body. miguel grunted, so softly you couldn’t hear despite your enhanced hearing abilities, when he heard her exclaiming. on the other hand, a part of you lit up hearing that he wanted to see you. that he personally asked to. though he did ask to see you, he was secretly hoping you wouldn’t come, just to spare him the emotions of seeing your face and seeing you alive, moving around and living. he wasn’t alone in that fear. you were also a bit scared, but you swallowed it and pushed it far, far down.

“hi… miguel,” you spoke up hesitantly.

once he heard you speak, his name especially, miguel immediately turned and jumped off his platform. it was moving too slowly for his liking and he hated to leave you waiting, no matter how scared he was of meeting you. miguel landed in a striking pose right in front of you, standing a bit too close for comfort.

“miguel o’hara. welcome to the team.”

you almost couldn't hear his mumbled words as he extended a large arm to shake your hand. you reached out your hand and met him in an awkward handshake. it was weird, feeling the touch of one another after so long. it was so foreign, yet so familiar. you were two strangers, yet you had also known each other for ages.

you introduced yourself to him as you shook, stuttering out how much of an honour it was to join the team. he then instructed the other spider to leave before turning back to you. miguel cleared his throat before starting, “i’m the spiderman of this world. and as you may know, i started this task force of spider-people.”

you slowly nodded. “so i’ve heard.”

the air between the two of you feels thick. you feel too close to each other where you stand right now. and you think he feels it too, because he steps back slightly. when he does, you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding. “have you heard why i started it, though?”

your ears perked up at that. you figured it had something to do with the villain you were fighting earlier, a villain that looked out of place in your universe.

“as you've probably figured out, we exist within a multiverse. that multiverse is connected by the web of life,” he began. miguel stood silent, as if he was waiting for something to happen. when nothing did, he cleared his throat and repeated in a booming voice, "the web! of life!"

once again, nothing happened. in frustration, he called out for LYLA, a small hologram-like woman, seemingly artificial intelligence. you waited, standing by and watching the two of them banter until a large projection showed up. the image grew slowly, starting as a bright light that branched out and eventually became a giant red web which seemed to encapsulate the entire room. miguel sighed in relief as it appeared before pointing around. “the web of life.” 

you took a look at the details of the web, walking around and tracing the lines while he continued to explain. “the multiverse also has a set of rules: the canon. things that have to happen and things that aren’t allowed to happen. every spider-person has to go through certain canon events.” you watched as the projection showed clips of different spider-people, each one experiencing a very similar event. events that you yourself were familiar with. the memories pierced you, yet it gave you an odd sense of warmth knowing that you weren’t the only one who went through all that.

“if anything messes up this canon – anomalies – it can tear down an entire universe.” in the projection, one of the webs broke and faded away. you stiffened. you realised at that moment just how much higher the stakes were now. you were used to threats of planetary destruction, but the downfall of an entire universe was a huge deal in comparison.

as you watched the projection, a thought formed in your mind. a conclusion. “…if enough universes are destroyed, the whole multiverse could disappear.” 

miguel nodded. “exactly. our job is to prevent and fix anomalies, protecting the canon in order to stop the multiverse from collapsing in on itself.”

that sounded like a terrible job. the thought of what could happen if you failed was horrible. you knew the struggle of not being able to save everyone, of losing lives just because of one measly mistake. but how could anyone live knowing they failed to save an entire universe? “so what’s our success rate?” you asked, half as a joke.

“we manage to save most universes. as long as the canon events occur as normal, the universe is fine. sometimes, we save universes from collapsing even after their canon events were disrupted. not always, though,” replied miguel, answering your question with an unexpectedly serious tone.

an “oh” was all you had in yourself to say. unsure of what to say or do next, you stood in silence as the projection around you slowly faded away. miguel stood with his eyes trained on you as if asking for a response, anything to keep the conversation going. as if begging you to keep talking so he had an excuse to continue existing within this space with you. a thought came into your mind, then.

“how did you figure all this out?”

that seemed to strike a nerve in him. he stiffened up even more – if that was even possible. he hesitated to answer. miguel didn’t want to have to tell you about how he knew you. another you, in another universe, in another time. he didn’t want to have to explain how he had lost you once before. so he didn’t. “all this,” he began, voice catching in his throat as he spoke. “everything that i’ve built to protect the multiverse… it all started because i broke the canon once myself.”

your eyes widened as the new information you were receiving hit you like a truck. thousands of questions ran through your mind. what happened? why would he do it? when you spoke to voice out your concerns, you were immediately cut off by miguel.

“i didn’t know any better.”

you could hear the pain in his voice as he spoke. you could sense that he didn’t want to tell you. you fiddled with the gloves of your suit but before you could say anything, he kept going. “i found a universe where i had a family. where i was happy. at least, a version of myself. and that version of myself was killed. so i replaced him.”

he turned around as he explained this, not being able to face you while he told you all the crazy things he did. it hurt him now when the words left his mouth, understanding that what he did sounded insane. it made him seem like a psychopath, taking over a dead person’s entire life like that. and that’s exactly what you thought, as well. your heart stopped at this revelation and you slowly took a step back, not even sure why. 

“i know it sounds messed up, i realise that now. but at the time, i thought it was harmless. i was wrong. because of me, an entire universe collapsed. and i lost my family again.”

‘sort of like karma, huh?’ you thought. you were too scared to say it out loud, though. you could only stay silent, unsure of what to say next. but deep down, you could feel it. you could feel there was still something he was hiding from you; a part of the story he wasn’t telling you. but when he dismissed you from his office, you dismissed that thought.

your hunch was right, though. he had omitted some large details about his family. like how you were a part of it.

phone calls and truths

osamu miya x reader

word count: 1k

“alright, we’ll meet you there!”

you cheerfully close the phone and instantly snap your neck to the giggling boy beside you. “shut up, rin,” you grumble. he ignores you and continues laughing, so you bring up a hand to his right bicep and pinch until he starts to wince.

“ow, ow, ow! alright, i’ll stop!” suna whispers aggressively, trying to keep his voice as low as possible on the crowded bus. you release your fingers and he rubs the spot where you pinched him, assessing the damage. “it’s just that your face is so red right now, you look like a tomato,” he teases. a small laugh nearly escapes the boy and you raise your palm as a threat. suna shifts his body to dodge and winces, to which you lift your head in triumph.

“i don’t actually look that red, do i?”

you turn back to suna with a worried look and he only – apathetically – shrugs in response. after throwing him a glare, you reach into your bag and scour for your hand-mirror in your bottomless pit of a tote bag. with a small “ah!”, you pull out the mirror and move it around your face, trying to examine your complexion as best as you can in the lighting of the bus.

after he decides he’s watched you desperately look at yourself in the mirror like an idiot enough, your cousin interjects, “if it makes you feel any better, I think that dumbass is way too focused staring into your eyes or whatever to notice.” you weakly slap the back of his head and he starts giggling again. “come on, you should be happy about it! as his best friend, i can confidently say that he likes you back.”

you only roll your eyes and grunt at a loss for words, sinking into the chair behind you. “no way, i bet he sees me as family or something. i’m his best friend’s cousin for god’s sake. isn’t it weird?” 

it’s suna’s turn to roll his eyes this time. he faces you with a deadpan expression. “there’s no way he sees you as family or even just any other friend, ok? he’s way too nice to you for that. if anything, it would be weird for me. but at this point, watching you pine for each other is such a big pain in the ass that i don’t care anymore. i think he’s too scared to tell me but i can tell anyways, so just trust me when i say that miya osamu likes you.”

“whatever,” you wave away the finger he has pointed towards you, and look out the window with a face of melancholy. “i won’t believe it until he actually says it to my face or something.” you sigh as the bus drives by a couple in matching outfits, sat on a bench sharing a bag of treats. you could see yourself and osamu in them, remembering how you were the only one allowed to share his food. if you weren’t blinded by self doubt, you might’ve seen that as a sign that suna was actually telling the truth.

but even despite that endearing fact, the thought of the grey-haired twin reciprocating your feelings feels like too big of a reach. a million thoughts run through your head while you contemplate what your cousin had just said. it makes you launch yourself into a full blown rant, speaking under your breath to no one in particular. “like, even if he does like me, how would i even tell him about my feelings. God, the thought of it is embarrassing me already.”

it’s easy to think out loud knowing full well everyone on the bus is too preoccupied staring at their cellphones or hanging on to their things for dear life to care. even suna, right next to you, is already used to your nonsense and simply ignores the crazy muttering.

that is, until he hears something.

he looks at you, who's become so distracted in your spiel that you don’t hear a thing around you. until he wakes you from your thoughts by poking at your arm. you turn to him in annoyance, ready to scold, when you notice the finger he’s pointing at the phone in your lap. 

you’re puzzled at first, then notice a muffled voice coming from the device. a devious smile nearly breaks through on suna’s face as he tries his best to keep himself from laughing at the situation. on the other hand, a look of bewilderment spreads across your face. you can feel your heartbeat pick up as you turn your head back up to your cousin.

you gulp down your fears and slowly lift the phone from your lap. both you and suna slap a hand to your mouths in tandem as your greatest fear is confirmed by the name glowing on your screen. your cousin attempts to muffle the hysterical cackles that escape him while you turn away to hide your shock and embarrassment in the arm of your shirt. you quickly attach the phone to your ear and squeak out, “uhm, samu? are you still there?”

“hi. yeah, seems you didn’t actually hang up. and i really am sorry for eavesdropping but… suna’s right, i do like you. i have for a while, actually. just haven’t really figured out how to say it.” aside from osamu stuttering out his apparent love confession, you also hear indistinguishable whispers from a voice in the background, most likely from atsumu. you can imagine the scene on the other side of the phone. osamu is turned away from his twin, you think, trying to give himself at least a bit of privacy as atsumu tries to listen in, making his own remarks from what he overhears. osamu’s voice is pretty tense and you can tell that he’s probably just as nervous as you are. “uhm, anyways, i guess that’s it. yeah. see ya later, don’t be late. thanks!”

with that, the screen flashes back to osamu’s contact page. you continue to stare at it blankly with your mouth while suna tries to snap you out of it, waving a hand in your face and pushing up your chin to close your mouth. “hello? earth to lovesick idiot? you still with me?”

–

once osamu ends the call, atsumu bursts out laughing like a maniac. his twin nearly hurls the phone at him when he yells at the blond to shut up.

“i told you so, samu! your scaredy-cat ass just didn’t want to believe me!” 

a/n: atsumu owes suna 450 yen because, of course, they made a bet. suna bet one of them would confess before 3rd year started and atsumu said after 3rd year started, but before graduation. this fic takes place during the break between their 2nd and 3rd year lol

oh to be watching a beautiful pink sunrise with sakusa kiyoomi standing next to you.

he’s just gotten back from his run and you’re awake in the living room waiting for him, cup of coffee in hand. kiyoomi takes out his earbuds and greets you with a tender kiss, tasting the bittersweet drink on your lips. his hand wraps around you and rests at your waist as the two of you stand by the window, admiring the pink skies, slowly transitioning into a light shade of blue.
