Honestly? I'm not surprised the FNAF movie is delayed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're DEFINETLY struggling to come up with a plot for the next movie. They planned to make three movies if the first went well, but they didn't really leave themselves much room for a sequel.
What do I mean by that? Well...
• The driving conflict of the first movie, that got Mike to work at Freddy's in the first place, was the custody battle with aunt Jane. But they fucking killed her off. (In the movie, it seems like it's possible she still may be alive, but in the book it's pretty much confirmed she's dead.) Abby sees her "lying in a puddle of ketchup" or something when golden freddy comes to get her. And I have a direct quote from Mike.
"You know," he said, "I think my aunt has finally decided to move on." I mean... she kind of did, Mike thought. (Pg 317)
• Oh, and also in the book, it's said Mike gets a nice new job as a contractor after the events at Freddy's, so it's not like they can pull the "Mike can't find a job so he HAS to work at another Freddy's location!" thing again.
• AND, they resolved his storyline with Garrett. He's found the killer, and watched him die. (Even if we know he's not dead). Mike realized Abby is much more important than his dead brother and he no longer torments himself with thoughts of Garrett... so I don't think he'd go poking around in another Freddy's location to "figure out what happened". He knows what happened. And he's finally over it.
• It seems like they TRIED to give themselves something to work with in the end credits. You know, the "C O M E F I N D M E". But honestly? It's not all that helpful. There's no clear way to tell who it's addressed to or who it's from. Everyone seems to agree it's Garrett speaking to Mike as the puppett, but honestly? That doesn't make sense to me.
• I've already explained that I don't think Mike is interested in learning more about his brother's death. He knows who killed him, and watched that man die. Mike is as "at peace" as he's ever going to get. Besides, I don't think Garrett is the puppett!! At all!!
• In the movie, Mike says he feels closer to Garrett at Freddy's. I think that means his soul is LITERALLY there, in THAT Freddy's location. Why else would he say that? Just because there are ghosts there killed by the same man? Also, in the novel, Mike literally sees Garrett's ghost in the pizzeria and it leads him to Springtrap. Finally, the "It's me" messages that keep appearing near Mike. Who else would be writing that shit? It's not just a little Easter egg for the audience. It has to be someone Mike knows. Garrett. (Also I think there's a strong argument to be made that Garrett is co-posessing Golden Freddy with the little blonde boy)
• SO THEN, WHO IS SAYING "COME FIND ME," AND WHO ARE THEY TALKING TO?
Honestly? No clue. But I think there are a few interesting directions they could take things.
1) From Mike's dad, to Mike.
In the movie they sort of imply Mike's dad offed himself, but in the book they reveal he just walked out on them. So he's still out there somewhere, and they could totally reveal he had some kind of connection to Freddy's and William, and it would explain why William drove all the way to goddamn Nebraska to kidnap some random ass kid.
2) From springtrap, to some unfortunate soul dumb enough to set him free
In the games, he was locked away in a bricked off room for like 30 years before being set free, but I don't think these movies are going to have that big of a time skip. Probably a year at most. So I could see the next movie starting with some idiot freeing springtrap.
3) Okay yeah I cant think of anything else.
And I know I'm not a professional screenplay writer but those bitches are anxiously struggling too!! In every interview where Josh Hutcherson (Mike) has been asked about a sequel, he says they're still trying to figure out the story. No shit!! They didn't give themselves anything to work with.
• So basically, Mike has absolutely no reason to go back to another Freddy's location, and the little secret message at the end is almost too vague to be useful.
So, what DID they leave themselves to work with in the next movie? What plot points remain unresolved?
• For one thing, they didn't even give William a fucking motive for killing kids. Or for luring security guards to their deaths. This version of him seems to have a much better understanding of remnant and possession that his game counterpart, but there's no reason given for that either. In the game, he does it all for his dead son. He wants to "fix" him. But they didn't set up any hints to that in the first movie. Mike talked to Vanessa about HIS dead brother, so I feel like if the whole "dead son" thing was the case, she would have mentioned she lost a sibling too.
• Or maybe William would have brought it up at the end when he was getting mad at Vanessa. The "mess YOU created!!" scene. He probably would have said something like, "You know why we have to do this, Vanessa." But he didn't. There's literally no known motive, and it'll be kind of hard to set one up without any breadcrumbs left in the previous movie.
• Mike was TOTALLY falling for Vanessa in the books. Yeah, I know, a lot of people feel FNAF isn't a place for romance, and SCHMELLY isn't a very popular ship... but that doesn't change the face he almost kissed her in the novel. (Also in the book she threw his EMPTY PILL BOTTLE into the river, didn't actually toss bro's meds! So she's a little more likeable!)
"Vanessa and Mike grinned at each other, and Mike felt something zing inside of him. It was a palpable 'wow' feeling that was much more intense than his casual appreciation of her beauty. And the zing felt like it was going both ways. The look Vanessa was giving Mike was one he hadn't ever seen before... not directed at him anyway. Her reciprocation of his feelings was so strong that he felt himself leaning toward her." (pg 186)
(They didn't kiss though, Vanessa blushed and looked away and changed the subject.) Still... now they have to address their little romantic subplot in the next movie as well.
• Vanessa. Just as a character. There's a lot to work with there. Personally, I think it would be interesting to use her coma to tell a story. You know, have her flashback to there's childhood with William and at Freddy's. (Honestly if they don't do that they're dumb and missing a huge opportunity. Why else put her in the goddamn coma?)
• Also, in the novel, they heavily implied she's... a robot? Apparently, her eyes drastically change color and Mike notes she flips from "girl mode" to "cop mode" on a dime. In the movie she just looked bipolar.
"Yeah Abby, let's use the tables for the fort! 😄"
"Mike if you bring her here again I will SHOOT YOU. 🤬"
• But yeah apparently she's a robot. A robot so convincing that even hospital nurses and doctors can't tell. With no explanation for how William could have built that. Or why there's a photo of her and William where she's clearly a child. Did he build a child robot that grew up into an adult woman robot? Or did he build two robots? Or did child Vanessa die and he replaced her with a robot? Who knows!
"Mike watched, mesmerized, as Vanessa's irises deepened noticeably in hue. They went from their usual soft, almost greyish-blue to a deeper indigo. The shift was so pronounced it almost looked computer-generated. It was also enormously disquieting. Mike felt like he was watching a human turn into..." (pg 184)
• So for the next move, Mike has no motive to go visit Freddy's, William has no motive in general, and Vanessa is a robot. The script practically writes itself, am I right??
And then there's the way Scott Cawthon likes to incorporate fan feedback into all of his projects.
(Ex: People complained FNAF 3 wasn't scary, so he made FNAF 4 horrifying)
• I have no doubt he's going to incorporate the fanbase's favorite characters into the next movie. (Ness, Doug, Maxine, Jeremy) Which honestly just complicates the plot further, adding more stipulations to the script.
• Bringing Ness back would be easy? Mike and Abby could have a scene in the diner, I guess, but it's also sort of unnecessary, and I'm not sure MatPat would agree to another cameo. He's retired.
• Bringing Doug back would be more complicated. He's aunt Jane's lawyer... but they fuckin' killed her off. So. Doug is not needed.
• Jeremy could come back? Maybe? He's really a background character... It's not stated whether or not Mike was friends with him outside work, or kept in touch with him after being fired.
• Maxine is a lot more complicated. The actress who plays her, Kathryn Sterling, said herself that she was originally supposed to have a bigger role in the film but it got trimmed down. And THEN there's the way she was stuffed into a purple Freddy suit, which a lot of fans theorize is supposed to be Shadow Freddy. On her TikTok, she basically confirms this, hinting to her character coming back in the next movie and being more important.
So in the next movie...
1) Mike has to somehow have to end up tangled back into Freddy Fazbullshit even though he has NO desire to... (Remember the way he looked at Abby when she asked if they could visit them??)
2) They have to reveal or at least hint towards Vanessa being a robot
3) Mike & Vanessa romance subplot??
4) William needs a fucking motive for killing people
5) The audience needs to be able to tell who "come find me" was said by AND who it was directed towards
6) Bonus points if they can cram in more youtuber cameos & beloved characters from the last movie like Jeremy and Doug
--------------------------------------------------
So yeah. It's a lot to consider when writing. And the clock is ticking, because kids, especially little kids like Garrett's actor, grow up FAST. And ghost kids aren't supposed to grow up. Ghost kids are supposed to be dead.
I do want to say though, that despite the plot holes, I LOVE the FNAF movie. I've watched it 20+ times. It's genuinely one of my comfort movies. I'm excited for the next movie, but I'm also sort of expecting it to be late 2025 before we get to see it.
Scott is notoriously picky. He turned down, like, 8 scripts for the first movie before settling on the Mike storyline. I don't mind waiting, especially considering how difficult this next movie is gonna be to write. Also if you read this whole rant?? Damn?? Kiss me on the mouth rn.

JAMES PATRICK MARCH NSFW ALPHABET
Pairing: JPM x F!reader
Warning: 18+, MDNI, below the cut!
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
It’s James, it really depends on the sex, if it was rough angry sex, probably a little kiss on the forehead and that’s it, if it’s slow passionate all night sex, then he’ll run a bath for you, cuddles, the works.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
James’ favourite body part on you would probably be your hips, he loves grabbing them from behind for hugs and he definitely like grabbing them in bed.
On himself, I’d say James likes his hands, I mean they’ve been the cause of so many deaths but also your pleasure, it makes him aroused to even think like that.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
James isn’t really too picky, I mean when you two where alive he used to fuck you in his office and then go back down to the contractors downstairs, cum in your panties and all, but now, he’ll come anywhere, mouth, face, tits, he doesn’t mind as long as you don’t.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He doesn’t want you to know this but he would fuck you anywhere around the hotel, he would love to have you bent over and someone walks in.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
I’d say James is pretty well experienced, I mean we know he disliked religion so he definitely wasn’t a celibate man until his wedding. But now he’s definitely more experienced with your body.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
I’d say it depends on the day, if he’s feeling upset he likes you riding him, but if he’s angry and it’s angry sex he definitely likes missionary and doggy.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
I mean it’s James, he’s pretty serious when it comes to making you come, I’d say he’s not too goofy but he’s not too serious, maybe giggling at a few words here and there because sex is still seen as kind of..odd to your 1920s brains.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
I mean, we’re talking about a man who died when he was about 31 and has been a ghost for the past 90 something years, I’d say he’s not porn star level wax but I’d say he shaves, it’s the same colour as his hair and it’s only a small amount, not too much that it’s uncomfortable for you to go down on him.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
James makes everything about you, he’s calling you sweet names, praising you and telling you how beautiful you are.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
James is from the 1920s, masturbation was seen as a sin and a weird strange thing to do, but now that you’re with him for eternity, he doesn’t need to jerk off anymore since you’re there forever.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Everyone knows James is a kinky man, one of his favourite kinks is that he likes knife play, he would never actually hurt you, but he likes that, but he also likes tying you up.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
It’s a hotel, sometimes it’s the bathroom, sometimes it’s the bedroom, his office, the balcony, one time it was the room with the spike on it, for his victims, but he didn’t let your precious little self go near the spike.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Literally anything. Like actually anything you do could turn him on.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He wont force you to do anything your not comfortable with, even for a sadistic murderer, he wants to make sure his wife is okay.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He likes receiving, as most men do, but he also loves giving, he could have you on your back, legs wide on his desk while his face in buried between your legs and he LOVES it.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Angry sex = fast and rough, not caring.
Sex that you’ve been teasing him all day with, my god he’ll go nice and slowly, making sure you feel absolutely everything.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
I mean when you two where alive, it used to be all the time, a little quick fuck in his office before the contractors got to the hotel, he enjoys it. But now that you two are ghosts it’s more..frequent sex than anything else.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
As a man with so many kinks, James also takes risks, he’d have sex anywhere, anytime, any day. He’s up for anything you want.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
With his gentler sex, he can last hours..I’m not even kidding, one time you two where fucking for 3 hours with no breaks, he can go rounds and rounds, the most amount of times he’s came in a night was 8, he made you come 9 times.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
He wasn’t aware of them until he overheard you and Iris talking about them one day, he’s yet to use them on you but he is planning on buying some.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
James is an unfair man, he’ll tease you for hours, making you wait, he’ll edge you until you’re tearing up and he’ll give you the most life changing orgasm of your life.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
DEFINITELY grunts and whines, when you’re giving him head he whines like a baby, giving out for a minute about a guest who was looking at him funny, next minute he’s whining as his thighs shake a bit.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He really wants to try anal but he’s scared to ask.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Definitely like…seven inches. It’s kinda thick too. Veiny, he’s circumcised, it was a big thing in the late 1890s. 
Theres a big vein running from his tip to his base, half of it is visible but the whole thing becomes visible when it’s hard.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Depending on the day, he can wake up horny with a need to fuck you and you tease him all day until the most jaw breaking bone shattering sex ever.
I’d say his sex drive is pretty high.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Angry sex? He’s out like a light, 2-5 minutes and he’s knocked out cold, soft wholesome sex? He’s too busy with aftercare for you.

Thank u for reading :)

🐓🤠Not Navy - Still A Flyboy At Heart Fic Recs🤠🐓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Check the Top Gun Masterlist post for the latest updated version. 💕
*Any fic in which Jake/Bradley isn't a Navy Fighter Pilot, but is still connected to the sky somehow... Well, it's more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than an actual rule... :P
Ao3 Authors: Haridwar, Nickies_Nonsense, ProtectingH_ngm_n, ReformedTsundere, SunMonTue, Sycamoretree.
Navy - Not A Pilot!Bradley Bradshaw > Navy - Not A Pilot!Jake Seresin
Take Off by ReformedTsundere {G}
/Flight Attendant!Jake/
Jake is what the man's name tag reads when Bradley is able to force his eyes down. And if he gets a little lost, mapping what contours of the man's chest he can see beneath his uniform, that's between Bradley and no one else. Except... maybe Jake too, because when Bradley forces his eyes back up, the blonde is smirking, all amused. It's the kind of look someone has when they know they're attractive and are aware the person staring is thinking that same.
Wildfire by sycamoretree {E}
/Temporary Aerial Firefighters!Jake & Bradley/
Jake and Bradley are on a mission to beat a wildfire by aerial firefighting. But what dangers lie ahead?
we met and you claimed me by haridwar {M}
/Commercial Pilot!Bradley/
it seemed so natural, darling, that you and I are here
“Did we really do this?” Bradley asked. It was the first thing he had said since Jake’s brainwave and Jake was not a fan of how upset he sounded. “Are we- did we get married?” or: what happens in Vegas...
Second Chance by Nickies_Nonsense {T}
/Commercial Pilot!Bradley & ATC Operator!Jake/
Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw leaves the US Navy after the mission with the daggers and starts a second career as a commercial airline pilot with Southwest Airlines. Little does he know that the Air Traffic Control operator Jake Seresin is about to become the most interesting part of his new job, drag Bradley out of his depression, and firmly implant himself into Bradley's new life whether he likes it or not - spoiler, he likes it.
You need to learn how to fall by SunMonTue {E}
/Skydiving Instructor!Bradley/
Bradley keeps growing past the 6'5" limit of being a naval aviator, Maverick lets out an internal sigh of relief. He's not going to be the one responsible for stopping Bradley from becoming a pilot. However, because karma is a cruel mistress, Bradley becomes a sky diver, specialising in spin recovery. Mav will never understand why his godson continually jumps out of perfectly good planes. Later Bradley's level of skill is such that he becomes a civilian contractor to the Airforce and Navy to teach pilots how to survive parachute spins from ejections. The Airforce contact Bradley first, it annoys Ice to no end.
Requesting clearance (to fall in love) by ProtectingH_ngm_n {G}
/Captain!Bradley & First Officer!Jake/
The first time was an accident. The second time was a coincidence. The third time was luck and the fourth time was planned. A fic with Captain Bradley Bradshaw and First Officer Jake Seresin

Kafka , de noattri
Da circa 6 mesi ho un dolore tremendo sotto un piede, provato di tutto umano ed equino, non passa.
Un amico mi dice, prova dal professor Coso, è un osteopata,ed è un genio
Il professore coso riceve su appuntamento ,vicino al piazzale Michelangelo, location che di solito vuol dire emorragia finanziaria.
Infatti il professore coso si prende 120 al nero o 150 con fattura
Propendo per il lato oscuro
3 volte , e risolviamo. mi dice il professore coso
240 euri spesi.
Mi ha massaggiato , tirato, scrocchiato , pestato dappertutto tranne nel punto interessato che fa male esattamente come quando avevo 240 euro in più.
360 euri spesi.
Provo a parlare col professore, facendo presente che ,per carità m ha ringiovanito di 20 anni dappertutto ma se magari provasse ad appoggiare le sue manine magiche sotto al mio piede sx magari ne usciamo un po' prima.
I problemi non si risolvono a valle ma a monte, si fidi di me.
Mi fido.
480 euri spesi .
non ho più un dolore in tutto corpo, mi piego come un fachiro, mi posso allacciare le scarpe da impiedi, ma il sotto del piede mi dà il tormento.
Punto della situazione difronte alla mia perplessità il professore Coso prende appunti.
Ha subito qualche trauma nella zona del volto nell' ultimo anno?
Si, ho perso un dente in una rissa.
Ed ha avuto altri traumi al volto in quella sede?
No, non è stata una vera e propria rissa, diciamo che una prostituta, offesa perché non intendevo usufruire dei suoi servigi, mi ha tirato un portagioie di avorio che ha colpito il dente, che è saltato. Fine
È colpa del dente
Il dolore sotto il piede è colpa del dente?
Si fidi , adesso che conosco la causa 5/6 sedute al massimo e risolviamo.
Dottore io mi fido, ciecamente, ma vede io faccio il contractor, a me mi pagano quanto il lavoro è finito.
Quindi Io mi fido e verrò tutte le volte che riterrà opportuno. Ma anche lei si deve fidare di me, ho intenzione di pagarla, in unica soluzione e senza battere ciglio, quando il dolore sarà migliorato.
Ecco l ha presa benissimo
ha iniziato ad urlare, battere i pugni sul tavolo, paonazzo in volto come se gli avessi messo π/2 la mamma.
Persona venale! Persona ingrata! Persona infida
Se ne vada! Vada via e non torni più pezzente
Io ho provato a farlo ragionare, e per tutta risposta lui ha iniziato a schiaffeggiarmi e spingermi.
Ecco adesso mi serve un osteopata ed un penalista.

March 2023 Stucky Fics
Completed
Till It Bleeds Daylight (Rated: E, Words: 44K) by cable-knit-sweater / @cable-knit-sweater 
Summary: Steve has been undercover with Hydra for a couple of months, slowly getting deeper into the organization . As he tries to figure out what they’re plotting and tries to take them down, he struggles with his past, loneliness, and keeping his cover. When he finds out about a mysterious contractor, the Winter Soldier, Steve figures he or she is the key to Hydra’s plans, but getting more information is not without risk. But well, Steve is anything but risk averse - just ask his secretive one-night-stand turned regular hookup turned …something, James “Bucky” Barnes. Or, going undercover with the criminal organization that haunted your neighborhood growing up, a Steve Rogers guide: Step 1 - Don’t make it personal; Step 2 - Don’t take unnecessary risks; Step 3 - Don’t lose your cool; Step 4 - Don’t fall in love with a hitman; Step 5 - Ignore rules 1 to 4, especially 4. Title from the song "Lovers In A Dangerous Time"
From Ice and Ashes (Rated: M, Words: 64K) by phansomedevil / @phansomedevil 
Summary: Steve asks: “How do you move on?” Sam’s eyebrows shoot skyward. He whistles air out from pursed lips. “Do you want the therapist answer or the real one?” “Surprise me.” “The truth is – you don’t get over it,” Sam says, his voice low. “Not when it’s that close to your soul. Not when he’s someone you built yourself up around. Maybe you fall in love again, maybe you don’t. It won’t feel the same. He’ll always be coming up in your peripheral.” As the bus pulls to a stop in front of them, Sam grips his shoulder. “But you still gotta keep living your life. For his memory, yeah. But mostly for yourself.” *** Steve Rogers learns what it means to be a queer hero in a complicated modern age. He tries to move on from the pull of the past, and his lost loves, but fate rarely lets him catch a break.
The Size of Perfection (Rated: E, Words: 31K) by Phoenike 
Summary: The serum enhances Steve’s physical attributes to peak condition. All of them. Unfortunately, ‘enhanced’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘optimal’ or ‘something that a fella wishes to show the girl of his dreams on their wedding night.’
Introduction to Fake Dating Your Best Friend 101 (Rated: T, Words: 24K) by crinklefries / @spacerenegades  
Summary: Bucky stares at his best friend as though he’s absolutely lost what’s left of his dumbass mind. “Excuse me?” he asks dumbly. Steve sighs and sags back onto the couch, covering his face dramatically with one large, well-manicured hand. “Dean Coulson thinks we’re dating. And gay. But like, for each other. And now I need you to fake date me so I can convince the Chancellor to fund my research.” or; Steve and Bucky are a pair of professors who have to fake date for academic purposes and are real dumb along the way. It's not so much a forest of pine as a whole landscape of it. It turns out fine, probably.
The Best Way to Wake (Rated: E, Words: 42K) by LeeHan / @leehanji
Summary: James Buchanan Barnes lay in a glass pod in the middle of the table, frozen since he fell. Steve’s hands were on the glass before he realized he’d moved. “Wait, Captain!” “Get him out,” Steve whispered, his hands searching for a clasp, a keypad, something. “Captain, we need to keep him in stasis—“ “I said get him out!”In which Bucky Barnes lay frozen in the Alps for seventy years only to be woken up a year after Steve Rogers was uncovered from the Arctic.
Casual Encounters (Rated: E, Words: 66K) by MoreThanSlightly / @morethanslightly 
Summary: “You have never once been careful in your entire life.” Bucky huffs out a laugh. He looks away. “Maybe I’m offended you didn’t think to ask me.” He says it like a joke, but he can’t bring himself to laugh again. “Bucky,” Steve says, scandalized. “You’re my friend. I’m not gonna use you to experiment sexually.”
Pisces Season (Rated: T, Words: 6K) by dreamsinthewitchouse / @dreamsinthewitchouse
Summary: Steve can’t get drunk because of what the serum did to his metabolism, but he still likes beer, and Bucky knows it’s because he likes the simplicity of it; likes remembering how drinking it used to feel, before the war. He watches Steve lift a bottle to his mouth and take a swig, teeth flashing. Steve has let his hair grow out a bit, which is a pretty great look on him, but the truth is that every single version of him, ever, has made something at the bottom of Bucky’s stomach twist into an unsolvable knot. Bucky knows he’s probably got what Natasha calls his smitten kitten look plastered all over his face, but just then he’s way past caring because it's Steve, now looking back at Bucky across the room, his mouth curled in a smile. Or: the one in which Bucky and Steve live happily with their Avengers family and nothing hurts (and Bucky snacks and naps a lot). Also, it’s Bucky’s 101st birthday.
A Certain Slant of Light (Rated: E, Words, 32K) by agetwellcard
Summary: Steve first meets Bucky on a Sunday morning. He's instantly intrigued by the new pastor's son with pale blue eyes and a nervous smile.
a song on a policeman’s radio (series) by rohkeutta / @rohkeutta 
How we rolled up the carpet so we could dance (Rated: E, Words: 7K) art by SulaSafeRoom / @sulasaferoom
Summary: Steve’s already showered and changed into sweats and a tank top, his hair still sticking up in cowlicks. When Bucky drags himself to the couch, still in his uniform with soot on his face, Steve takes one look at him in the soft glow of the living room lamp and opens his arms. Bucky drops the shield on the floor and crawls over Steve’s legs to collapse on top of him, tucks his face under Steve’s chin and exhales. “Jesus fucking Christ.”
our chosen homes (Rated: G, Words: 756)
Summary: “It’s been freezing,” Steve repeats as he drops the wood in front of the fireplace, throws two logs in to make sure that the fire isn’t going out. “Huh,” Bucky murmurs absently from the folds of his blanket, and Steve has to squeeze him a little as he passes, rub his cold nose against the vulnerable patch of skin behind Bucky’s ear. Bucky yelps, a high-pitched sound muffled by the duvet he’s wrapped in, and Steve laughs, kisses his ear on the way to get more water from the well.
The Same River, Twice (The Man Is Still Left with His Hands) (Rated: G, Words: 4K) by dorian_burberrycanary / @burberrycanary & art by amoneth / @amoneth-art​
Summary: Steve had meant to stay forever and didn’t last a year. He meant to return right back to when he left, but that doesn’t work out the way he planned either. Turns out a lot can happen in nine months.—Steve didn’t need his first month back to make him aware of just how many degrees forgiveness comes in, but some lessons feel new each time. Getting a text from Sam asking him to Delacroix for the weekend feels like one tick closer and Steve’ll take it. He’s texting back when Sam adds, Bucky will be there. And Steve? Steve’ll take that, too. A post-The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Stucky Endgame fix-it where a lot needs fixing.
***This fic is complete, but the series (A Man Takes His Sadness Down to the River (The Consolation of Philosophy)) is not.***
Still Left with the River (The Paradox of Motion) (Rated: M, Words: 14K) by dorian_burberrycanary / @burberrycanary​
Summary: Coming back from as good as dead to a changed world is easier the second time around. But then Steve supposes that, like with most things, you get better with practice. A post-The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Stucky Endgame fix-it where even if you can’t go home again, you’ve got to go somewhere.
***This fic is complete, but the series (A Man Takes His Sadness Down to the River (The Consolation of Philosophy)) is not.***
North Fork (Rated: E, Words: 62K) by BeaArthurPendragon / @beaarthurpendragon & art by Stucky1980 / @lisamott9
Summary: Sworn to silence by the Air Force after a friendly fire accident in Afghanistan, former aid workers James and Sam have come home to take over Sam’s family’s vacation rental business to escape the bad memories. Losing an arm and working maintenance wasn’t how James pictured his life turning out, but his life is good: He likes fixing things, he gets to work for his best friend, and he loves surfing every morning. Fresh out of the ice, all Steve wants is for SHIELD to announce his return and let him get back to work so he won't have time to think about all he's lost. But when his psychiatrist refuses to clear him for duty until he's dealt with his trauma, he reluctantly accepts Tony's offer of a beach house for the summer to settle his mind. Armed with a false identity and a stack of sketchbooks, his only goal is to get back into the field. He's got no intention of letting his heart defrost along with the rest of his body. That is, until a handsome maintenance man with a secret of his own shows up with a gallon of ice cream and a smile that could light up half of New York.(Written for the 2021 Shrunkyclunks Big Bang)
with all my skin and bone (Rated: T, Words: 54K) by unicornpoe
Summary: Agents Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes don't get along. With Steve's reckless attitude and Bucky's cautious, no-nonsense way of doing things, they clash from the beginning, and make enemies of each other before they can even think of being friends. But when both men are assigned to a job that will take them to the suburbs in investigation of CEO Alexander Pierce—where they're supposed to live together, to be married to each other, to be in love with each other—old feelings rise up, and new ones emerge. What happens when the person you hate most in the world has to be the person you love? What happens when the line between lies and truth gets blurred? Pining, that's what. And some kissing, too.***Steve and Bucky fall together, and fall in love.
Push It Real Good (Rated: M, Words: 35K) by spoffyumi / @spoffyumi​
Summary: The way Steve had to steel himself to ask the question made Bucky a little wary. "Will you be my partner for a Lamaze class?" For a few long moments, Bucky just blinked at him, not knowing which question to ask first. Finally he went with the biggest question on his mind. "What?"

Treading Water (Rated: M, Current Words: 96K) by sparkagrace / @sparkagrace & art by Dyslexic_Fetus / @reagy-jay
Summary: Olympic swimmer Bucky Barnes always believed that when the time came to retire, he would walk away with his medals and world records firmly in the history books and never look back. He never thought the water would leave him first.

He thinks he has a shot when the team get a new coach, retired MLB legend and Steve's high school crush, Bucky Barnes. Steve hasn't thought of the man in many years, but seeing him brings back many memories that push Steve to reach out to an old friend and maybe make new ones on the way. What happens when Steve gets to know Bucky properly? What happens when they open up about their darkest secrets and deepest fears? There's really only one thing that can happen.
An Appropriate Omega (Rated: M, Current Words: 205K) by BeauRadley

1. Hello! Me again, thanks so much for the past help!! I was wondering if you’d help me one more time? I’ve been searching for another specific fic for the last three weeks and no matter the tag combos I can’t seem to find it. Essentially: it’s a one-shot where WWX is having a sort of flashback into being at the burial mounds and hallucinating lan Wanji and Jiang cheng speaking to him. He reveals some things about the three months in the BM, but in the end it turns out he wasn’t actually at there and they where trying to get him out of being influenced by resentful energy. Also lan suzhi is there at the end to help too. If you could help that’d be amazing! @spacy-thoughts

2. Hello I am looking for a specific fic where WWX and LWJ get into a fight. WWX comes back from needing some to find LWJ crying because he thought they were done after the fight. The rest of the fic is them making up after the fight. I hope I gave you enough info to go on.

4. hi! i’m looking for a specific fic on A03; it is a casefic and has got to do with the jin watchtowers, specifically this one by the sea which is haunted by the woman ****SPOILER START**** whose husband was killed by the contractor (for demanding worker rights) and LWJ falls into the sea trying to stop WWX from getting killed, and gets very hurt in the process ****SPOILER END***.

I’m looking for a fic that was a modern setting, wangxian friends with benefits, only it was more like enemies with benefits bc lan zhan was dead set on not catching feelings for him and he hated that he was starting to. i remember that it opened on a sex scene but that was as far as I got! please help!!!

6. Hi! I'm looking for a fic where Wei Wuxian wakes up in Lotus Pier after being injured on a nighthunt (?) that he went on with Lan Wangji and he finds out from Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli that Lan Wangji has died.
However, we later on find out that Lan Wangji is not actually dead but instead someone sent false letters to Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen. The letter Jiang Cheng received had said that Lan Wangji had died and the letter Lan Xichen had received had said that Wei Wuxian had died. So somebody purposefully made Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji think that the other was dead.
I believe there was also a part in the fic where some guy at Lotus Pier kept calling Wei Wuxian 'Wei Ying' and Wei Wuxian kept telling him to stop because only Lan Wangji was allowed to call him that but the guy did it again and Wei Wuxian snapped.
Thank you for your help!
~*~
7. I’m looking for a similar story to one somebody asked two fic finders ago but this one has a little twist
Is a fic where JC managed to wish WWX out of existence (I think it was with an array) and JC and LWJ are the only ones who remember WWX, LWJ tries to confront JC about it but JC won’t tell him how he did it, things happen (I think SSC) and JC needs WWX again, so he asks LWJ to help him bring Wei Ying back, they bring him back and so the story continues

8. I am absolutely boggled trying to find this fic that I *thought* I'd downloaded onto my reader. Was reminded of it recently by another user who was looking. Basically, it's a modern wangxian AU, where WWX reappears after X time gone/cloud hanging over his head bc of something ppl thought he causes and the Jiang sibs who are some sort of celebs (models? actors?) help him (as does LWJ.) I remember a pool scene where all were hanging out & performing normalcy while press were milling about. @thelima

9. Hola! Hope you guys are doing well. This request is for the FicFinder.
I don't remember much, but I think WWX was a Lan probably? There was a scene that I remember: during a lecture in Hanshi, LQR was talking about always being prepared or something like that. It was a topic on talismans I think? So Jin Zixun or someone like that said something about talisman being cheap trick and as cultivators, they don't have much use of it or something? Then LQR asked WWX to show how many talisman he carries on him normally (like everytime everywhere) and the later pulls out bundles after bundles of talisman. Then he's says something like : this is the normal I carry with me every moment. If it's a night hunt, I carry much more than this. @utxqia

10. I’m looking for a dimension travel fix where Wei Wuxian is a doctor/engineer in his OG modern dimension but his life goes downhill. He gets transported into a dimension a lot like MDZS time, where cultivation exists and the old Wei Whxian was evil and despised. He doesn’t know Lan Wangji, but over time they fall in love. It’s kind of a time-travel/fix-it in one.

14. Hi, can you please find the fics that I think at that time I read at AO3.. I'm not remembering much, only the fact that Wei Wuxian already gave his golden core to Jiang Wanyin, and later Nie Mingjue give Wei Wuxian his Saber, Baxia. Since Wei wuxian can actually control Baxia without qi deviation. I've been searching for months now.

LWJ growls for the first time in LXC’s hearing, who comes to the abrupt realization his brother is terrifying & just didn’t care about growling previously @any-mouse

16. Hi! Could you help me finding this fic? In this fic, a-yuan is sick and wen qing said that only cultivation gentry have resource to heal a-yuan. So wwx walk to cloud recesses to beg them heal a-yuan. Lwj meets them (wwx and a-yuan) and he take care wwx while wwx take care of a-yuan. Long story short a-yuan is healthy again and wwx ask lqr and lxc for them to adopt a-yuan but his request refused and instead the lans bring the wen remnant to cloud recesses
There is a quote that make want to read it again. More or less it was like this "in the absence of hanguang-jun, he (a-yuan) is my light".

17. Hello! 😊 Please will you help me find this fic? I have vague memories of it being AOB and WWX was at an omega training school(?) but he wasn't very good at it so never expected to be picked? Then LXC comes to find a match for his brother. There's a dance test that wwx messes up but I think LXC found it endearing? Then WWX played the dizi for the talent portion. Not sure if it was a WIP but the last thing I remember was WWX having a private chat with LXC in the school office.

🍊 fic recssss🍊
Baddy Zaddy, by ElapsedSpiral
Brilliant take on a Bridget Jones' Diary-esque fic. So funny, and the dialogue in this fic is so sharp and perfect, it reads like a dream. Stede runs away from his family to Soho, London, where he meets Ed of infamous porn stardom on a fluke phone call. Rated E | 57k | Complete.
fishsticks, anyone?, by wellwhiskey
Listen. This fic made me laugh so hard I almost cried. It was chaos. It was drama. It was surprisingly heartfelt at times. There was a moment, about the middle of ch 2 where I thought, hang on, this is all so ridiculous? But it didn't matter because I was having the time of my life. Post-s1, Ed is trying to make sense of Stede's death and doing poorly at it, Lucius is a ghost in the walls, and Stede got lost on the way to a birthday party and invented free samples. Rated G | 49k | Complete.
God Only Knows series, by BeautifulSoup
fics: Summer Dream, Cuddle Up, In the Back of My Mind
Modern AU where Stede is freshly divorced and hoping to get back in touch with his kids, and thus takes them paddleboarding. Ed is, of course, the retired surfer and paddleboarding instructor. Summer Dream was just that, a complete dream, Cuddle Up is the smutty follow, and In the Back of My Mind was a really beautiful taste of what it's like to find a family. Rated T - M - T | 15k - 2k - 7k | All Fics Complete; Series Not Complete
Queen Anne's Renovations and Remodeling, by bythedamned
Magical realism is the way to my heart and this one provides. Also this one provides by giving an Ed and Stede with a history, meeting again as adults. Add a dash of mystery, a sealed off room, and memories that can't possibly be real, right?? and you have a perfect recipe for something new and fun and exciting. Ed's working as a construction contractor when he finds someone he'd lost long ago, and a long ago he thought he'd lost forever. Rated M | 32k | Complete

Thanks for the tag, @stereopticons!
Most hits: Sometimes, Home is A Person (M, 144k words) Five years after David and Patrick’s wedding, Clint and Marcy decide to move to Schitt’s Creek. This time, David's not the only one who has to come to terms with his family.
Fewest hits: Like So Many Stars (M, 3114 words) At the far end of the galaxy, the drinks are blue and taste like watermelon, and Patrick has a job to do. But all of his plans go out the space hatch when a dark-eyed stranger buys him a drink.
Most kudos: Where Have All the Flowers Gone? (E, 29k words) All David wants is to order some flowers. What he gets is a very cute, very snippy shopkeeper who he can't stop thinking about. After taking over his parents' shop, Patrick feels like he's being crushed by the weight of expectations. Until he meets someone who turns everything upside down.
Fewest kudos: Found and Lost and Found Again (T, 11.9k words) When Patrick is kidnapped by a mysterious agency, David will do anything to get him back, but rescuing Patrick won’t be easy. Still, David is determined to find his husband, even if it means pushing out of his comfort zone and revealing Patrick’s secrets. Nothing will stop David from bringing Patrick home—just as soon as he finishes at least four steps in his nine-step skin care regimen.
Most comments: This is also Sometimes, Home is a Person, so going with the runner-up, which is Strangers, Friends, Husbands, Lovers (E, 45.5k words) Patrick is going to marry Rachel. Everyone says so. But no one expects it when Patrick blows up his life and catches the first flight to San Francisco. What happens next, and who he meets, is even more unexpected.
Fewest comments: More Than Enough (G, 1084 words) The morning after the housewarming party (S5E05) Patrick, David and Ted have a very awkward conversation.
Most bookmarks: This is also Sometimes, Home is a Person, so going with the runner-up, which is Stick Handling (E, 31.7k words) David Rose is perfectly happy working as a fashion reporter, covering the latest designers, surrounding himself with beautiful clothes. That is, until he's reassigned to the sports beat. His first assignment? To interview presumed hockey barbarian, Patrick Brewer. He'll need to get good wood on his stick to avoid the back door play.
Fewest bookmarks: Temperature Rising (G, 385 words) "Patrick stares across the store at his fiance. David’s eyes meet his and Patrick feels the temperature in the room inch even higher."
Most words: This is also Sometimes, Home is a Person, so going with the runner-up, which is A Test of Time (E, 44.2k words). David is a contractor who goes back in time to collect souvenirs and videos to sell to wealthy collectors. On a trip to 1988 he meets Patrick in a bar in New York. He thinks nothing of the chance encounter until one day he goes to Ray’s to get a permit...
Fewest words: #honeymoonlife (T, 2 words) David and Patrick take a honeymoon road trip to Niagara Falls. As seen through their Instagram posts.

[ 5k - 9k ]
The way you smile [E, 9k, Caribbean, fic post]
Harry doesn’t need to go on holiday. Unfortunately, his mum and sister disagree, which is how he ends up alone on holiday in the Caribbean. Luckily, he's not alone for long.
Never Been Knotted [E, 9k, alpha/beta, fic post]
Harry doesn't mind that he presented as a beta. It mostly just makes his life easier and more convenient. There's just one small problem: he'd really like to be knotted.
haven't you heard [M, 8k, proposal, fic post]
Harry Styles has been in love with Louis Tomlinson since they were eighteen. After six years together, Harry is ready to propose to the love of his life. The holidays strike him as the perfect time for a romantic proposal, but his well-meaning friends and family (including his self-appointed best friend, Niall) seem to thwart him at every turn.
Or the four times Harry tries to propose, and the one time he gets it right.
Every Piece of You (It Just Fits Perfectly) [E, 7k, remix, fic post]
Louis has settled into his job as the reigning monarch’s charity representative as well as his life as a reluctant member of the royal family, but what he wants most is for his relationship with Harry to become something more.
Harry finds himself as consumed as ever by his career as a high fashion stylist, but he vows to make more room in his life for Louis. He’s decided he’s going to start the New Year off with a ring.
A remix of ‘Why Can’t It Be Like That’ by taggiecb that takes place one year later.
Faded From This Touch [E, 7k, famous/not famous, fic post]
Pop star Louis Tomlinson is about to make his long awaited return to music. Unfortunately, his label and manager feel his long hair isn't in tune with his pop star image. When Louis goes to get a hair cut at a posh London salon, he unexpectedly finds a very handsome reason to keep returning.
You Really Got Me Now [E, 6k, Rome, fic post]
Louis is the best older brother anyone could ask for. He knows this because he's agreed to help chaperone his younger sister's school trip to Rome. As it turns out, Italy is full of surprises. Fizzy's Italian teacher is surprisingly hot, Rome is surprisingly interesting, and Louis is surprisingly falling in love with more than just the city.
Stay forever [E, 6k, beta/omega, fic post]
For the last year and a half, Harry has spent his coffee break at the same cafe every day, not because he loves their coffee, but rather because of the gorgeous omega behind the counter making the coffees. As a beta, he’s sure he doesn’t stand a chance with him, so he goes online to find as close a substitute as possible.

On That Note [E, 6k, coworkers, fic post]
Louis’ office job on an omega only floor would be absolutely fine, if not for the alphas he and his friends have to deal with in the building. But although they’ve never met face to face, the friendly notes sent between him and Harry in Purchasing help him get through the day.
Easier [E, 6k, omega/omega, fic post]
The last person Louis wants to see is his ex-boyfriend who also happens to be his soulmate.
Now That I've Found You [M, 6k, construction, fic post]
Harry Styles has a great job working for his brother-in-law’s construction company. He has just one small problem. His concrete sub-contractor just quit, and he needs a foundation built as soon as possible. One fateful turn brings him exactly what he’s been looking for—an experienced concrete construction company that happens to be owned by the most beautiful man he’s ever laid eyes upon.
Or Louis is a long haired, sweaty construction worker. Does anyone really need to know more than that? Harry doesn’t think so.
Running Through A Cloud Of Steam [E, 5k, bodyswap, fic post]
As Harry’s long anticipated twenty-first birthday approaches, he anxiously awaits the moment when he finally meets his soulmate. He’s not even sure he believes in soulmates, but at the very least, he hopes to prove to his best friend that nothing can come between their friendship--not even a soulmate.
We're Dancing On Tables [E, 5k, uni, fic post]
Last week, Louis went on the very best date of his life with the hot guy from his chemistry lab, which was great until the guy never texted him or called him afterwards. Everything is great. Everything is fucking great. Now this guy has the nerve to show up at Louis’ house party, which of course forces Louis to plot to ruin his night.
Hey, Mr. DJ [E, 5k, a/b/o, fic post]
Harry really, really does NOT want to go out to a club tonight and be hassled by a bunch of alpha knotheads, but against his better judgement, he finds himself alone on the dance floor, barefoot, with an orange in his hand. This is all Niall's fault. At least the DJ is the most strikingly gorgeous alpha he's ever seen...
Click [E, 5k, roommates, fic post]
When Louis got assigned a roommate, he wasn’t exactly thrilled, but as far as roommates go Marcel was a pretty good one. That was until Marcel started clicking a counter everywhere he went...
Whisk me off my feet [E, 5k, a/b/o, fic post]
When Louis locks himself out of his apartment in just a pair of novelty underwear, he hopes his new neighbor can come to his rescue.
I'll Be There [E, 5k, hate to love, fic post]
Louis is less than thrilled to find out his roommate has coerced his nemesis to check on him whilst he's sick in bed. However, Harry seems to take great pleasure in taking care of Louis. Maybe this green smoothie drinking, hot yoga instructing, hair in a bun wearing, pretentious art history studying wanker isn’t so bad after all.
On Monday, Louis thinks Harry's a twat. By Friday, he's thinking of reasons for him to stay.

“I guesssss ya jus' don’ luhhh me 'nough.”
Oh, no.
Valentino was not only slurring, swaying, and squinting in the low light of his living room, but he was, decidedly, not even totally sure who he was talking to. It didn't matter, because it wasn't that fucking blue light bastard trying to weasel his way back into Val's good graces.
But that didn't mean that the pitifully drunk, agitated moth was going to make this easy on whoever was unfortunate enough to have found him.
He thought he saw pink, but there wasn't enough red for it to be Kitty. That, and he heard her deeper in his floor, clanging around in the kitchen. What had he asked her to even fucking make? Nothing sounded good. Everything was awful because they were fighting again.
“Nob'o'dy really caresabout me! N-nnnngh--- Not even yo-you.” A dramatic turn on his sharp stilettos sent his ankle bending in half and he yelped as he headed straight for the floor. The pathetic moth didn't even seem to remember that he had wings, currently flared out uselessly from their cape-like position.
@e-m-p-error (Val for Angel! Oops!!!! HAND SLIPPED--)
The penthouse was quiet but for the distant clatter of Kitty rummaging around the kitchen in search of ingredients to make some outlandish request, no doubt. Quiet broken by the click of his heels on the hardwood. He shouldn't have been there at all, but he had forgotten his phone and it would only be a matter of time before that came back to bite him. He couldn't just expect to pick it up the next time he was in the studio-- when Val decided he wanted to fuck him again.
What he didn't expect was to find Val there at all. Least of all inebriated and ranting around the living room on sky-high stiletto heels. It was only a matter of time before he fell, and that was a headache that Angel didn't want to have to put up with.
But then he caught what the moth was saying. The pitiful words slurred into the space between them. Did he think he was Vox? There was something vulnerable to the sentiments spoken that said he might. After all, it had never occurred to Angel that Valentino might want his affection rather than just his body. That he might want to be CARED FOR rather than just TENDED TO.
Val's ankle rolled and before Angel could help it, he was moving. Reaching out to catch the other before he hit the floor. And he managed to grab him around the waist to haul him against himself. Awkwardly landing face-to-face within inches of his contractor.
"Val--" his voice is soft, but he feigns annoyance as he shoved the other aside to examine his ankle instead. "You an' these stupid shoes…" he huffed.

m##bdmdndfnn i dont know how it would happen but. cinderella niki popped into my head
👀👀👀 rinnes a prince he throws a ball
VJSBDKDBFJF
*yeet *
niki doesnt even care about the ball itself he cares about the food they might serve ghsdbJSBFJndbdjfn his fairy godmother shows up and nikis like great! i want a full course meal
LOL
godmother: dont you?? want a spouse?? niki: is a spouse food. can i eat it
crack idea his fairy godmother is either a wandering mam+kohaku or himeru
FHDBWJAAOHDJDNFNG HIMERUDHEJFBFKNDSKDNF
if its mam+kohaku mam just gives him the food and kohakus like "get ur fucking ass to the ball we have deadlines" bc lets face it, double face r defs mercenaries for various royal fams and someone defs hired them to crash rinnes ball (probs rinne himself)
crackier idea: it's mayoi on his journey to "better himself" by offering free miracles to those who desire it so he can be worthy of prince tatsumi who saw something special in the mean and dreadful witch of the deep
toku why are you so poggers
all these ideas r so good what if they all just appear at the same time and each person fufills a diff segment of the cinderella-ify-ing
himeru: according to this Very Real Prophesy himeru has been mysteriously ordered by his master to carry out, himeru must bring you to this ball and you are not allowed to not attend niki: what the hell. i bet they dont even have quiches there himeru (increasingly frustrated by this situation): they have quiches. niki: i bet they dont even have pies there himeru: they have. pies. niki: i bet th himeru: THEY HAVE. FOOD. SO MUCH OF IT. THEY HAVE SOUPS. THEY HAVE PASTRIES. THEY HAVE CHEESE. niki: oooh i do love cheese
this makes himeru sound like a genie 👀
hsjdvJSBFJjsjsbdkadjkf himeru: (reading off terms and conditions) additionally, if you’ve already summoned himeru, you should be aware that himeru’s very presence feeds off your life fo oh god eichi: ahah heyyy himeru: not YOU again
eichi, would
imagine himeru functions more as like a monkey’s paw than an actual like genue
also funnier idea what if eichi was princess fiona and wataru was shrek/j thats too cracy even for me 😭
[convo gets derailed so we’re skippin to when it continues:]
niki cruising into the royal ball with 5 different magic contractors each with their own agendas for how they're gonna try to make the evening go and he immediately beelines it to the cheese fountain mayoi who's trying to ensure niki has a good time: h-hey if he-e likes thee cheese s-so much j-just let him dro~wn himself i-in it ffor a bit longer may~be? kohaku and mam who are trying to lure niki closer to the buffet table where prince rinne just so happens to be while keeping his presence at the ball very background so he doesn't cast any suspicion on them as they move closer to their target (making niki act as their cover): but there's a rather nice meat platter on that table over there he should try it it looks good eichi who's trying to get niki to dance with rinne so he can prove his capability as a matchmaker/ability to show compassion and love by uniting the prince with his soulmate (completing the task set for him by the elder council of wataru's kingdom so they can get married (wataru's kingdom might be allied with rinne's (or at least their elders are) idk)): oh, the prince is over there too! perhaps a dance would be fun? himeru who's trying to keep niki at the party for as long as possible to prolong their contract and get more of that sweet sweet lifeforce: how about you all slow down and let niki decide niki who's still busy stuffing his face with random things he's dipped in cheese: 🤤 (blissful ignorance)
GUDWBJDBFKDDBF [1]RINNE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY PINS DOWN WHAT’S GOING ON BUT IS TOO ENTERTAINED AT THE SIGHT OF FIVE GUYS TRYING TO GET THIS IDIOT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT
it's a miracle rinniki met at all rlly [1]he is so amused he actually falls in love the idiot lol
rinne initially: wow he has so many bitches maybe we should talk. not that im interested in him though rinne after spending several nights helping niki hide from the Many Guys™️ trying to get him to be with rinne in the first place: wow this guys decent and not in fact pompous and isnt trying to get with me at all and he instantly knew what foods i liked and hes so stupid he doesnt even know im flirting with h aw. aw fuck
himeru: himeru doesnt understand why this isnt working. he even picked out a great suit eichi: personally i think shiina kun would look great in a ball gown, perhaps you should try granting him that much? mama: hey where did he even GO?? HOW do we lose sight of him every single night. WHY has the prince just stopped coming to the ball at all. what is going on mayoi (who picked up on rinne and niki ditching the ball on a nightly basis): ahaha. haha. mmmm. wh-who knows.
kohaku: wait. hold on. himeruhan picked out nikihan’s outfit. m- (cringing) mamahan took care of his transportation. mayoihan blessed him with a normal appetite. what did you do eichihan eichi: i am his emotional support ♡
how did eichi even get there ?!?!? also i love how all of this is going on in the presumed aftermath of hiiro faking his death with aira
fhsbsjdbf imagine his family tasked him with courting rinne but he decided it was WAY funnier if he could get this commoner guy to marry him instead
wait i thought this was before that
wait when is the cinderella in the timeline is it b4 or aft the snow white fake deaths?
[2]post-kaname at the very least
[2]while hes stuck in the beasts castle or b4 that?
before that
[3]i thought the timeline was rinniki gets together -> rinne finds out about the council's plans for hiiro -> rinne fakes hiiro's death and runs away -> rinne ends up in jun's castle
lmao just realized we could also also make kaname a little red riding hood parallel to match jun's big bad wolf/beast
[4]if we somehow twist this so that this is before hiiro’s presumed death, the mental image of hiiro standing in for rinne at the balls while rinne’s off with niki….. xkdndkdbdkf
[3]seems legit [4]na he looks to good boy to stand in for rinne, he jsut covers/lies abt his wereabouts to the elders 4 him probs the reasons the elders got fed up and decided to super weapon him, actually
:cantdothis: and it is rinnes fault………
kinda yes as always ^^

D. C. Messinger Contractor (Photo taken by me March 26, 2023)
There were many listings for Messinger’s work, mostly as a designer but earlier included some contracting. He was the designer and contractor for a residence for an Emma Thompson at 408 E. 66th St. He was a contractor with L. O. Fiscel (?) on a bungalow for Ruth Williams Ingraham in Washington Heights at Reservoir & Gladstone streets. At that time Fiscel & Messinger were located at 315 W. 61st Street. In the same year, he was released from a lien by National Lumber Company. (Southwest Contractor and Manufacturer, Volume 3, Engineers and Architects Association of Southern California, 1909.)
Messinger was located at 216 (and sometimes also 217) Bradbury Bldg in 1919. That year’s notices included designing two bungalows and garages on Hillcrest Terrace for D. H. Harrocks. Messinger “prepared the plans” for G. F. Sloan to build a “2-story 19-room hollow tile residence on Irving Blvd. near Sixth St. for J. E. Adams” and for a double bungalow to be built at “163 East Forth-seventh Place” for Chas. Roth, containing “two flats of four rooms and bath each” with “concrete foundation, redwood siding, shingle roof, pine trim, oak and pine floors, disappearing beds, water heaters, plumbing, wiring.” Messinger was designer and superintendent for the construction of a bungalow and garage (5 rooms) at 1239 Kenmore Ave. for A. M. Shaw (Southwest Builder and Contractor, p. 23, December 19, 1919).
He also “prepared plans for a 2-story frame and plaster flat building to be erected on Gramercy Place between 6th St. and Wilshire Blvd., for Gertrude R. Nash., was the designer for a bungalow and garage at 1839 N Van Ness Ave.,  and was the designer for a 2-story, 10-room resodemce at 857 S Bronson Ave.
This was the best little blurb I found about him:
Tumblr media
Most of this information was from Southwest Builder and Contractor, F. W. Dodge Company, 1919.
By 1925, he had moved again to 1210 Taft Bldg. in Hollywood (some say that was the fictional Philip Marlowe’s office) and had “completed plans [to] build two-story, 6-stores, 12 offices at the northeast corner of Porter Ave. and Brand Blvd., San Fernando, for B.A. Munn” (Building and Engineering News, Volume 25, Issue 1, 1925).

What is a Unique Tunnel Formwork Construction Technique?
Tunnel formwork is a formwork system that allows the contractor to pour walls and slabs in a single operation on a daily cycle. It blends on-site construction's adaptability and affordability with speed, quality, and precision. Construction time is significantly reduced with this fast system compared to conventional methods. Tunnel Form System brings speed, quality, and precision to concrete construction and provides big savings on M&E and finishing work.
Apartments for Sale in Chopda provide high-tech technologies for the production of steel formwork making tunnel formwork strong and durable. The system creates efficient load-bearing structures that are known as the most earthquake-resistant structures.
Where to Use Tunnel Shape
The crucial issue of sound transmission is perfectly solved by this method, which is extremely systematic and earthquake-tested. Gives a sound reduction of 50 decibels. The tunnel shape is widely used in the construction of cellular structures with a high degree of repetition such as:
Prisons
Hotels
Student accommodation (Hostels)
Private Homes
Commercial Developments
Which Restrictions Apply to the Tunnel Form Construction Method?
Fast construction demands high cash flow.
In the case of some geometric shapes and angles, it is necessary to design a special formwork, which generates an additional cost for the project.
The initial investment in formwork and other machinery.
In the case of imported formwork, the completion of the plan is required 5 to 6 months in advance.
In the tunnel system, skilled labor is required compared to traditional systems. 
The building design must be suitable for the system.
Advantages of the Tunnel Shape
The dimensional accuracy of the concrete structure allows the laying of partitions and the fixing of all other finishing materials, such as joinery, immediately after casting.
Tunnel Form is not suitable for small projects and projects that involve large variations in design
The folding prop provides clearance for stripping.
Composite wheel assemblies aid in precise form positioning and blackouts eliminate nailing.
It comes with integral work platforms and an edge protection system.
High seismic resistance due to monolithic construction of slabs and walls
Multiple rooms can be concreted, giving scheduling flexibility.
Installation of all utility lines in the shell reduces internal finishing work.
Tunnel formwork required less slab cycle time as construction became fast and reliable.
The box-type structure construction is safe against horizontal forces such as earthquakes and cyclones.
It guarantees the correct application and completion of the project by minimizing measurement errors during the production process.
Conclusion
Tunnel form is a formwork system that facilitates the emptying of walls and slabs in a single operation. It not only improves the accuracy of concrete construction but also helps create efficient load-bearing structures that are known to be earthquake resistant and can be used in a wide variety of applications. In addition, this technique helps to greatly save finishing costs.
