this is a continuation of my other stepbro!yuta fic, misplaced lust. that offers some background to this fic but this can also be read as a standalone!

a month has passed since you and yuta shared that fateful night in your living room, since you’ve started seeing him as someone other than your step brother—though, you still haven’t quite settled on what to call him. yuta would insist on “boyfriend” but the word feels heavy and sticky in your mouth, like you can’t really get it out any time you try. you suppose you’re still getting acquainted with the idea of yuta as a lover rather than a brother.

all you can say for sure is that things are different.

your standing as simply siblings is the image you keep up in public, much due to your persistence, though, behind closed doors, it’s a different story. gone are the days when yuta kept his urges buried. he touches you when he pleases—stealing the sweetness of your lips in morning kisses, holding you hostage in midday cuddles, exploring each and every curve of your body as you writhe and pant beneath him at night.

it’s taken some getting used to but you’ve fallen into some sort of strange routine with him. the life you’re living is far from ordinary, though, you’re pleased with it.

tuesdays—you have class on campus and, as much as you’ve told him that it isn’t necessary, yuta practically begged you to let him take on the task of taking you to and from your classes. you’re sure he’s parked in the lot across from your building now, but you’ll have to keep him waiting a while longer so that you can exchange contact information with your new project partner.

“just sent you a text,” the boy tucks his phone away in his pocket, “did you get it?”

as if he willed it himself, your phone dings with a message notification. it’s from an unknown number but you infer that the sweet “hi! :)” is from him. you wave your screen at him with a smile and a nod before quickly saving him to your contacts.

“i’ll text you when i get home, yeah?” you look to your partner, eyebrows raised in question.

“sounds good to me.”

“great.” you offer him a wave before setting off to the crowd of cars in search of yuta’s.

it doesn’t take you long to find it, or him for that matter. he’s standing outside the vehicle at the hood, arms crossed and eyebrows pulled together in confusion. the sight leaves you puzzled yourself as you approach him. he usually meets you with a smile. it’s strange to not see the corners of his lips pulling up.

“hey, what’s wrong?” you question. if you were in the privacy of either of your apartments, you’d reach out to smooth out the crease between his brows.

yuta reaches for you, large hands coming to rest on your hips before he pulls you closer. you frown and shake your head in a silent reminder that people are watching—people who shouldn’t see you in such a position. much to yuta’s dismay, you knock his arms away and take a step back. your action seems to upset him further. “who was that guy?”

you fight the urge to roll your eyes at his question. if you thought his investment in your relationships before you hooked up was concerning, then the tabs he keeps on you now border overbearing. you can’t talk to a guy within his line of sight without being questioned about it afterward.

“he’s just a classmate,” you reassure him with a sigh.

your disinterest in the conversation does nothing to ease yuta’s nerves. a piece of him knows that his jealousy may be unwarranted, but, to be fair, you’ve never gone as far as sharing contact information with another guy—and right in front of him, at that. “a classmate that needs your phone number?”

“yes,” you swear you see his frown deepen with your answer, “but only because we’re working on a project together.”

yuta trusts you, he does, but knowing that you’ll be working closely with a guy he’s unfamiliar with leaves a sour taste in his mouth. he’s well aware of how the minds of men work and who’s to say this one won’t make a move on you?

though, as he looks into the depths of your eyes, yuta reminds himself that it’s you. you wouldn’t let things escalate that far, you wouldn’t betray his trust—right?

large hands come up to cradle your face, thumbs brushing over each of your cheekbones. midnight eyes bore into yours as he asks, “you promise?”

your heart jumps in your chest—at the feel of his rough palms on your face or the unexpected question, you’re not sure. the intensity behind his lidded gaze almost makes you forget where you are, that he’s not supposed to be touching you like this here, where anyone can see. you take hold of his wrists, pulling his hands down from your face, opting to hold them between your bodies to keep them hidden.

“i promise,” you tell him, voice low so that only the two of you can hear.

the warmth of your hands and the softness of your voice relieve all the tension that’s built up in yuta since he was met with that unsavory sight. he squeezes your hand, lips pulling up into a soft smile.

he knew he could trust you.

life with yuta is as normal as it can be outside of your interactions with your poor classmate. the boy really hasn’t done anything wrong but he still unknowingly bears the brunt of yuta’s irritation and resentment. a simple text from him informing you that he added content to the document and would appreciate you looking it over earns a grimace from yuta if you take too long replying to him.

so, you suppose you shouldn’t be surprised when your phone vibrates with a notification—no, two notifications from yuta during your library meeting with your acquaintance. you hope it’s not rude to shift your attention to your phone for a moment. two messages one after the next implies urgency.

> where are you?

> you said you’d be back by 6

so much for urgent. you click the button on the side of the device to put your screen to sleep, not bothering to reply. you’re sure you’ll be wrapping things up here soon and the process will go even quicker if you don’t break to text him back. you make a mental reminder to respond to him as soon as you’re done, flipping the phone so the screen is facing down on the table.

you’re barely able to get another paragraph typed out before your phone is buzzing again, not with a notification but with a phone call. despite not being able to see the caller display, you have an idea of who it is.

“i’m sorry,” you apologize to the man across from you, grabbing your phone off the table. “you don’t mind if i take this, do you? i’ll make it quick.”

he waves his hands in a show of nonchalance. “no, no, go ahead.”

you offer him an apologetic smile before stepping out of the room you two reserved to dedicate some time to your project. when you hear the click of the door announce that it’s closed, you press the accept button on the call.

“hello?”

“where are you?” there’s mild panic laced in his voice as he continues. “you didn’t reply to my texts.”

you should have seen this coming. he isn’t always like this—so obsessive over your whereabouts, but you think you have an inkling of what’s got him so on edge and he’s sitting in the room you just left. “yuta, i’m still at the library. we’re almost done.”

hearing your voice is like an anchor for yuta, keeping him grounded from his unwelcome, wandering thoughts. he tried not to worry when the clock hit six and you weren’t walking through the door, briefly thinking that you got caught in traffic or some other minor inconvenience that kept you a few minutes.

though, as more time passed, the hypotheticals turned to something less innocent—ones that centered around you and him and the sorts of things you could get up to in a room with just the two of you. it made yuta’s head and heart hurt in a way he’s never experienced before but the pain is beginning to subside now that he’s heard from you.

he’s tempted to ask about what’s keeping you but for his own sanity, he buries the question, choosing instead to tell you, “i was just checking in.”

“everything’s fine.” you nod despite him not being able to see.

you hate when he gets like this, stressing himself out over nothing, letting nonexistent things eat away at his mind. but, in the same breath, you love being the one to bring him back to earth, the one he finds solace in. maybe that’s why your voice softens with your next words. “i’ll be home soon.”

there’s a shaky sigh of relief on the other line, one you’re almost sure wasn’t meant to be audible.

“good.”

the final straw comes a couple of weeks later when yuta’s outside your door, fishing around his pocket for the key you’d given him when you moved in. though, before he’s able to find it, the door swings open.

he expects to be met with the sight of you in your loungewear—shorts that ride up your thighs and a shirt that leaves a sliver of skin on your tummy exposed—but the person standing before him is the last person he wants to see, especially in your foyer.

it’s your project partner.

yuta’s eyebrow twitches as he looks at the man, silently wondering just what the hell he’s doing inside your apartment. he’s got a comfortable grin on his face that slowly falls as he turns away from you to find yuta standing in the hall. there’s confusion written over his features and if yuta wasn’t so annoyed, he’d laugh—he’s the one who should be confused.

“hey, man,” your classmate greets yuta cautiously before turning to you. “you know this guy?”

the question seems to be enough for you to finally recognize yuta’s presence. you don’t smile and hug him like you usually do when he shows up at your place. no, instead, your eyes widen like he’s the unwelcome one.

yuta’s skin warms with his boiling blood as his dark gaze flits over to meet that of your guest. “i’m her b-“

“brother!” you cut him off. with the look in his eyes, you couldn’t be sure he wasn’t going to say another word that started with the same letter. “he’s my step brother.”

“oh,” the man nods, “nice to meet you.”

yuta musters up as friendly of a smile as he can. if you didn’t know him as well as you do, it would have simply looked like he was caught off guard meeting a new face. and while that’s partially true, you can tell that the smile is forced—that his teeth are really clenched behind his lips and that the sentiment is not shared.

your classmate turns back to you, not taking notice—or, at least, choosing not to acknowledge—the thick awkwardness in the air. “well, i’m heading out. see you in class.”

you give him a wave as he slips out the door past yuta, whose sole attention is now on you.

it doesn’t take a genius to tell what’s on his mind.

“yuta…” your voice usually has a calming effect on the man but it doesn’t seem to work this time around as he slips into your apartment, fingers running through the messy strands of inky hair.

“what was he doing here?” there’s an edge to his tone as the question fills the air—one that’s a mixture of anxiety and possessiveness, something different than what you’ve heard over the past few weeks.

you close the door before facing yuta. the darkness in his eyes from earlier lingers but the anger has dissipated, replaced by uncertainty. the latter is just as chilling.

something tells you that your explanation, no matter how truthful, won’t get through to him—not when he’s so worked up. still, you try to make it clear that nothing was going on between the two of you. you reach out to take his hand in yours so that he stops tugging at his hair. “we were going over our presentation, that’s all.”

the stare he meets you with is heavy, almost intimidating. “you had to bring him home to do that?”

“i didn’t feel like driving to campus so i had him meet me here.” you can see yuta’s jaw clench at your justification. you drop his hand in favor of placing yours on his face. his skin is warm beneath your hands and your fingers graze over the curves of his cheekbones and jaw. he softens under your touch, though the insecurity sticks to his expression. you hope your next words are reassuring. “but nothing happened—i swear.”

there’s an honest glint sparkling in your eyes and a softness to your gaze that convinces yuta that you wouldn’t lie to him—not about this, not about anything. with a deep breath, yuta’s hands come to rest on either side of your waist and he nods—more to himself than anything.

he dips his head down, capturing your lips in a heated kiss. it’s eager and greedy, like if he doesn’t do it now, he won’t ever be able to. his tongue runs over your lips, swirls in a dance with yours as he breathes in your air and scent. it’s dizzying and your head is spinning even when he pulls away.

his nips at your lip, nose pressed against yours. “you’re mine, right?”

you nod, parted lips glistening with yuta’s spit.

“then show me.”

the journey to your room is clumsy, kisses interrupted by clothes being strewn about the hallway. though, when you do finally make it to your bedroom, your back meeting the mattress, yuta wastes no time letting his lips roam all over your body. he sucks and nips at your delicate skin, leaving dark marks of his love on your neck, your collarbone, your chest.

the simple sensation draws a melody of moans from you that reaches yuta’s ears, swelling his heart and his cock. he groans—the erection between his legs is almost painful and he finds relief in grinding the head up and down your folds, letting it bump against your clit. the contact elicits a sharp gasp from you and the sound only feeds yuta’s arousal.

he can’t hold himself back any longer.

sinking into you feels like the closest yuta will ever get to paradise. he fights his eyes from rolling back, stops himself from drooling, as he bottoms out in a practiced motion. he usually gives you a moment to adjust around him but he’s far too worked up to allow you the courtesy this time around, almost immediately setting a tempo with his thrusts.

the sound of skin slapping skin as his hips snap into you accompanied by the squelching of your wetness fills the still, thick air of your bedroom. yuta’s choked groans join them and he lets his head fall to rest at the crook of your neck.

his tongue pokes out to lick at your skin, lips latching on to leave yet another purpling spot behind—a sign of his love, a sign that you're his.

the thought causes yuta to bite down on the side of your neck, not hard enough to break the skin but enough to leave an indent of his teeth. he raises his head to meet your eye, labored breaths tickling your face as he hovers above you. he swallows before pressing his forehead to yours, hips still bucking into you.

“you’re mine,” he breathes out, nails digging into the sheets on either side of you.

you can’t tell whether it’s a question or a statement but you nod the best you can regardless of which it is.

his dark eyes bore into yours, a mixture of passion and possessiveness swimming in his gaze. “say it.”

it takes a moment for you to find your voice and even when you do, your declaration cracks. “i’m yours, yuta.”

“that’s right,” he dips his head down to kiss you, smiling against your lips before pulling away, “all mine.”

yuta’s hand finds its way between your bodies and to your clit, rubbing circles against the sensitive bud and drawing heavenly whimpers from you. he starts to lose the rhythmic pace he set as his climax creeps upon him, each thrust growing more and more erratic. a fire sparks to life in your abdomen with the added sensation and you can feel the heat seeping beneath your skin, penetrating your nerves. every part of you is on fire.

the stimulation is soon too much for you, pushing you over the edge and into the deep end of pleasure. the sharp breath you suck in is followed by shaky moans as you ride out your orgasm. with all the pretty noises you’re making and the way your cunt flutters around him, yuta follows not far behind you.

he pulls out before his seed can spill inside you, the warm white ropes of cum spurting on your belly instead. his own moans mingle with yours as he comes down from his high, chest rising and falling with each of his heavy breaths.

his eyes flit up to yours, hand reaching out to caress the side of your face. you lean into his touch instinctively which makes his lips curl up in a smile. you wouldn’t do this for anyone else, would you?

you really are his.

I have a suggestion for a promp!! ✋feel free to consider it if it fancies you, disregard if it doesn't 💕 i felt like it might interest you, bc I really loved the drabble about reader being on base and the alarm going off and her finally meeting ghost, so to say! i feel like you might like the vibe of this as well. idk how to word it well, but i love stories where the two whole different worlds of a couple meet/merge bc of A Situation which lays their differences bare, their consequent reaction to their so's/the situation at hand itself etc

i saw this super cute tiktok the other day of a couple, where the husband/bf? is trying to instill more safety awareness into his partner, he pretends to leave the house, closes the front door and even fakes his footsteps but then knocks on the door to see if his gf will automatically open up assuming its him or look thru the peephole to see who it is

she doesn't ask, and opens up right away (like most of us would do i mean lbr!!) and he berates her for it while she playfully waves it off as him being too paranoid and so serious (mannnn I wish I had it saved!!!) and idk i think was just such super cute moment and I could totally see simon and his so in this situation. Simon has more than his fair share of awareness of what could and does go wrong in the world and is determined to "train" his gf and give a safety drill whenever he sees the opportunity for it (he might even do so bc he is, unconsciously or not, trying to protect her from a fate his family faced because of him) but his gf is happily unaware of that dark side of the world and is like "🤷‍♀️aww but i just knew it was you babe besides im pretty sure nothing could get past you to get to me anyway💕💕" and he is both baffled bc of her casualness (she's a civilian but still), somewhat amused bc he can never get "mad" at her, it would be like getting mad at a puppy who doesn't get a trick right on the first try, and he feels his heart swell because she feels, she knows nothing would get past him to hurt her. he would die sooner than to have a hair on her head harmed (ok this got angsty real quick!!!🥹💕❤️)

🌻anon (also I am sorry for the wall of text omg!!! English isn't my first language so i guess I overcompensate to explain myself wow!! You are a gem in this fandom btw??? I honestly love how detailed your writing is. Quality work, top notch!👌😘💕)

Note: I have been staring at the last paragraph of this for the past five minutes because thank you so so much???? (Also your English is perfect I promise) it seriously means so much to me to hear people like my writing 🥺💖💖 But this definitely interests me! (Personally, I'm wildly paranoid about my own safety, so I'd definitely be checking that peephole every time lol but we're gonna disregard that)

"Love, you're gonna end up givin' me more gray hairs than I've already got."

"And why's that?"

Simon pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out a huff. He's not angry - he doesn't think he could ever be angry at you (at least not for long) - but he's starting to wonder if you've got any self-preservation instincts at all.

This isn't the first time you've failed one of his many "safety tests," as you call them. From leaving your car unlocked while you're sitting in it to opening a window overnight when the weather permits, he swears he's aged a decade since living with you. Price had once told him that worrying for your safety was part of the package of loving a civilian, but Simon hadn't quite predicted he'd be worrying this much.

"How many times have I told you to check before you open the door?" he asks.

"But I knew it was you. You just left," you chirp. Good lord, you're too cute for your own good.

"And if it hadn't been me?" he asks. "If someone had taken me out on my way to the car then come to you? You've got to start considering the possibilities, love."

To your average outsider, it probably seems like he's berating you. But the way your eyes sparkle at him tells him you know better. Chastising you, perhaps, but there's no true anger there.

Instead, there's an undercurrent of fear. He knows the consequences of opening the door to the wrong person. And he knows that if the day ever comes when he comes home to blood on the walls and the sight of your lifeless eyes, he'll sit next to you and make sure he dies there too.

But that's a road Simon doesn't want to go down. Not right now, anyway. Not when you're here, smiling at him with mischief in your gaze.

"Simon, be real. I know nothing can get past you to get to me."

He feels his heart rise when you tell him this. Of course, he knows in his soul that he'd never let anything harm you. He knows he'd do unspeakable things to keep you safe. But to hear you say that you know it too sends warmth through his chest.

"Be that as it may," he says, unable to stop himself from quirking a small grin, "you still need to check. Just to be safe."

He grabs your hand as you raise it to wave him off, pulling you slightly closer and angling your chin so he can really look at you and convey the seriousness of his words.

"Please, love," he says. "For me?"

Your gaze softens as you lean into his touch.

"Okay, Simon," you murmur to him. "I promise I'll check before I open the door. For you."

Part of him isn't quite sure if he believes you. But for now, he lets himself feel relieved anyway.

"Good," he says as he leans in to kiss you. "I'll hold you to that."

I don’t know if you do headcanons but - what do you think belos would be like if he started developing a crush ? 👀 your last post was so good it had me thinking about this

Thankyou and yes I do headcannons, sorry this took so long it got buried in my drafts :)

~~~

Belos is a manipulative person who's a narcissist that has a god complex disorder. He also has a savior complex making him extra delusional and dangerous, as he's able to justify everything he does to himself as a means to an end. Despite the fact that it's very wrong.

His delusion of speaking to the Titan and misinterpreting it's words (if it does speak to him) make him not only dangerous but leaves him with a large following who are willing to do anything for him as they think it's for the will of the Titan. That being said I don't think he'd be the worst lover even if he had deep flaws. (Flaws that he would hide from you to win your affection and love)

But it also depends on the kind of love Belos is giving you. Is it genuine love or manipulative interest? Does he really love you or are you a toy to him? A tool or a means to an end? Something to amuse his sadistic desires? Turns out your none of those things as he could never bring himself to hurt you. Manipulative yes it's simply in his nature, but feeling genuine affection and love? Also Yes. He's fallen in love and he's fallen hard. This crush will be the death of him as you fill his head as he slowly becomes enamoured.

Oh he recognizes it's the ultimate irony that he fell for a witch after killing his brother for the very same thing. He knows he shouldn't have feelings for you but something deep inside him stirs whenever he's around you or thinks of you. Perhaps you've used your magic to ensnare him or perhaps 400 years of being alone has finally gotten to him and he just wants someone to hold and care for him. He never had time for a partner in the other world and perhaps with the Day of Unity slowly approaching this is a reward for his plans. God sending him someone to save from the hell the rest of their kind will endure, someone he can love. Whatever the reason, he does love you in his own twisted way and will do whatever necessary to keep you safe and feeling the same as him.

Belos doesn't get out much barley ever leaving the castle since he has lackeys to do his work for him. He either met you at a castle ball or some important coven function held at the castle.

Knowing it would be odd if he didn't engage in his party he decides to pick someone at random to ask to dance. Spotting you seemingly all alone he comes over and asks with a polite bow if you'd like to dance with him. Your flustered face made him smile and he often thought back to that first meeting. You seemed hesitant but smiling at your Emperor you took his offered hand and were whisked off to dance much to the surprise of everyone. As you dance he has a casual conversation asking about the party and small talk but than you say something that catches his interest and the conversation turns to other more in depth topics.

Since he talked/danced with you at random he can't get you out of his mind. It becomes very dangerous for you as your fate is now sealed as his.

He loves your intellect. The short talk you had completely captured his attention, he can't remember when that last happened. Yes while your very aesthetically pleasing to look at it's your intellect and wit that win him over in the end and make him curious about you. Anyone can be pretty but not everyone can be intelligent. He could never be with someone dull and after speaking to you about that random topic his brain bounces around what you said not letting him think of anything else. It's fills his thoughts and soon enough no matter what he's doing your all he can think of.

Belos will start obsessing over you in private, learning everything he can about you so he can make a plan to win you over. Your favorite flowers, your favorite color, your hobbies, the school you went too, your magic track/coven, your job, your education level, anything and everything he can find out about you he takes the knowledge in to use for later. He's an old romantic and wants to court you the correct way as well as make you fall in love the old fashioned way. Puritan Catholics were encouraged to marry for love and be wed because God brought them together, he intends to continue this tradition thinking your a gift from God himself for all his hard work. He wants a willing lover that will adore him not someone who will be forced to sit and be obedient by his side.

He constantly finds himself thinking of you while working. Your laugh. Your smile. The short talk you had together. The dance you shared. Your hands looped behind his neck as you danced. His hands on your waist as he glided across the ballroom floor with you. The way you blushed when he offered you to dance and the shocked look you gave him realizing it was the Emperor. You make him a flustered mess and it frustrates him to no end but it also makes him happy to think of you. His heart beating in a way that gives him butterflies. He truly hasn't felt this way in centuries.

He begins to court you once he feels he knows everything he needs to know to win your heart. Flowers are sent to your home along with extravagant gifts and heartfelt letters he wrote. All anonymous at first to gauge your reaction and see what you'd do when given a secret admirer. He starts off small but soon it becomes more intimate, more personal. You seem happy to receive the gifts regardless and when he heard from a coven scout that your searching for the admirer he gets a deep sense of pride.

Deciding it's time Belos sends you a letter this time signed with his seal and invites you to dine at the castle with him. Belos knows exactly what he wants and makes it very clear he would like to court you. When your surprised he just admits your the only witch who's made him feel this way and that the short talk you had was something he kept thinking of. It's flattering to say the least and although a little overwhelming you can't deny your Emperor and allow yourself to be courted.

Belos is a patient man. He has time to win your heart and he intends to win it the correct way. Every move he does to become closer to you is carefully calculated and planned. He enjoys your presence and he wants you to adore him as much as he does you. He will win your heart through softly spoken words, thought out gifts, and gentle actions.

Dates are a private affair always done in the privacy of the castle. He swears it's for saftey reasons and not because he doesn't want people to know your courting. He could care less if people knew you were his, infact he'd prefer it but it's too early in the relationship for anything like that. He had his suspicions the covenheads already knew. And he knows Hunter at least had some suspicions about the mysterious guest Belos kept bringing to the castle.

He's slow but very deliberate with his ministrations. Waiting for the perfect moment to have your firsts together. Your first hand holding, your first date, your first cuddle session, your first time saying I love you to each other, your first time sitting on the throne with him, your first kiss, your first time making out. He spreads them out and makes sure not to rush things. He wants you to know he enjoys you and your company and not just your body. He's more than content to just talk all night and hold you close than doing other activities. As much as he loves your body you both have time and he doesn't want to rush and ruin anything.

Months in when your living in the castle but not in the same room is when Belos thinks it's time. It's been hundreds of years since Philip was banned from every town in the Boiling Isles. Your sitting on his throne with him humming softly as he plays with your hair. Your head is against his chest and he's truly never felt such bliss. In this soft moment he tells you his real name is Philip. That's when he's in trouble. Once you say his name outloud he knows no matter what he will have you as his. You will rule by his side as his beloved in the Isles and become his partner in the human Realm once the Day of Unity approaches.

Oh (Y/N) you had no idea what you did to him...

Hi, feel free to ignore me, but I was wondering if I could requesting Rocket asking Peter for advice in confessing to the reader and Peter just giving him the worst advice.

Best rocket rq right here

Rocket knew in his mind it was a terrible idea to ask quill of all people for help. In all honesty, it was very hard for him to ask for help to begin with and asking it from quill was extremely embarrassing. While he had trouble letting go of his ego in general, this was especially so when quill was in the equation. However, at this point in time he’s known you for years. Way longer than he’s known all the other guardians, aside from groot. You’d been around, you’d been a ravager for as long as he’s known you. You mentioned Peter a few times, as apparently he was the reason you became a part of the ravagers and he was the reason they didn’t end up killing you for some cheap dinner. You never got your two buddies to meet till it was on accident, that fateful day when you and quill wanted to sell that stupid orb.

Point is, he’s known you for what feels like forever. But it doesn’t matter how long he’s known you, quill has known you longer. Quill knows you better than anyone else, he’s your best friend and was your partner in crime for the longest time. He hadn’t exactly made his feelings to you known, or moreso the extent of them. Up until… a certain point.

About a week ago, all of you had to defeat quills crazy dad. In the midst of you trying to save Peter from dying, rocket practically begged you not to go. Threatening to basically tase you the same way he did to gamora. He didn’t want to, but he was perfectly willing if it meant you wouldn’t die out there. Even though you did end up getting tased, he did end up accidentally pouring his heart out. “You are everything to me.” he admits, unwavering in his confession as he continues, “I know your mad at me for stealing some stupid batteries we don’t need, but please. Don’t go. You’re somebody I cannot afford to lose.” he’ll never forget the shock on your face, the contemplative look, and the sorrow you suddenly feel. He knows that look, you’re trying to say goodbye, despite how much it hurts the both of you. “I’m sorry rock. But I have to go in there. Quills my best friend.” and he does as promised, and tases you as soon as your back is turned to him.

It’s been a week since then, and while the two of you talked and made up and all that sappy shit, he has yet to really confront you about his feelings. Or even talk about it. Knowing you, you most likely took it in a platonic sense. Like how groot means everything to him. Or how quill means everything to you. He knew it was a bad idea to ask quill, for anything. However as far as you’ve mentioned, quill has been around, having many good experiences with many different women (and bad ones), and he was also able to woo thanos’s daughter of all people. There must be something he’s doing right. And if rocket ever wants you to like him, this is the way to go. Unfortunately for rocket, his fear of you rejecting him is bigger than his fear of letting his ego go in front of quill. So he slowly walks over to quill once the two are alone. He raises a brow at his little raccoon friend, and rocket tries to be casual with the Terran. “Level with me quill.” Rocket starts, leaning himself on the wall next to him, arms crossed. “How the hell did you even manage to get gamora? You, of all people” he says, barking out a laugh.

Peter rolls his eyes, “did you just come here to mock me?”

Peter considers rocket a friend, but of course, the both of them love to get on eachothers nerves.

“Anyway.”

Peter thinks for a moment, and shrugs. “Must be my natural charm.” He smirks, “I mean, any girl would be lucky to have me, right? I’m the legendary star lord!”

Rocket scoffs before laughing in peters face. “Oh please quill, you are the last person anyone would ever want. Gamora was just fooled into likin you. I’m asking how you tricked her into liking you so much cause only a true idiot would like you.”

“I didn’t trick her!” Quill says, raising his hands in defense before putting them back down. He suddenly gives rocket a knowing smile, and rocket immediately regrets ever saying anything to quill. “Is this about y/n?“

Rocket immediately starts laughing, which may had given himself away. Out of all the laughs, that was by far the fakest Peter has ever heard come from rocket. “Are you just sayin that cause they’re the only other furry creature around? Cmon quill. I’m clearly just curious as to how somebody as pathetic as you ended up with thanos’s freakin daughter.”

Quill is not convinced, staring down at rocket in amusement. “Do not look at me like that.” Rocket says, “I mean it! Quill! I do not like them like that!”

“Sure you don’t.” quill laughs, and rocket starts to groan. “Just tell me the trick already!!!” he yells in frustration. “There is no trick. It doesn’t work like that.” Quill says, shaking his head, hands on his hips. “Love comes naturally. I don’t know why gamora loves me, but she does. You’re not gonna be able to trick y/n into loving you.” he says, and for the first time, rocket thinks quill is kinda being sorta wise.

“But…” quill lifts his pointer finger up, and gives rocket a certain mischievous grin. Usually when the two are about to do something incredibly stupid, he gives rocket that little grin. “We can convince them.”

The plan was simple. While at first, quill had stated that maybe being overly sappy and romantic would win you over, rocket refused to do anything of the sort. So quill had suggested something else entirely, but still had the sense of sentiment. He wasn’t the biggest fan of these turn of events. However, rocket accepts his fate, for the most part. All rocket had to do was act like he doesn’t care, he is a master at his craft. Be as casual as possible, maybe call you a cute nickname he never calls you, and then maybe hit you hard with sentimental shit. Problem was he wasn’t going to say that sentimental shit cause he refused. An error in quills plan, but suppose quill thought he’d be fine without the integral part of this plan.

Rocket walks into the room you happen to be in, seeing you converse with gamora. Gamora seems to notice rocket, and gives you some excuse as to why she needs to leave now, as you raise a brow at her but simply shrug it off. Gamora gives rocket a knowing nod, and rocket feels even more humiliated that quill told her. He would have to kill quill later, but for now he needed to focus on the mission. You.

You notice him, and wave with a smile as he walks over to you. “Hey rocket, how’s it going?” You say, making some small talk. Though as you know, rockets never been a fan of small talk. You know he’d normally keep the conversation going, having it being anything other than small talk as he finds it to be a waste of time, but he simply shrugs. “Fine. Hows it going with you?” he asks, and you shrug, looking at him for a brief moment, seeing if something was wrong. Anytime you engaged small talk with him, he’d give you a irritated glance. Honestly you made an effort to do it often in order to annoy him. Rocket almost panics under your suspicious gaze, he’d barely even said hello to you! He can’t be that bad, can he?

He pretends there’s something in his nails, picking at them and not bothering to glance at you. “So..”

“So…?” you look at him, almost as if you waiting for him to continue. From the looks of it, it seems like he expected this conversation to go in a different direction. You notice his sudden frustration. “Oh screw it! Y/n. I gotta talk to ya and you gotta PROMISE” he emphasizes on the word promise, lifting his pointer finger up to drive his point home, “you won’t laugh, okay? Promise.” you nod, and smile at him. “What’s up? You know you can tell me anything rocket!” rocket lets out a deep sigh, “normally I’d be annoyed by your enthusiasm, but I actually need this right now.” he admits to you.

You can’t help but wonder what it could be that even he’s nervous to tell you. While there’s a lot about himself he hasn’t exactly opened up to you about, like his past, you get the strange feeling that’s not what this is about. You’ve comforted him before, whenever he gets nightmares and tells you not to tell a soul, not even groot. Especially not groot. You always listened, never gossiping to anyone about to ur friends deep struggles, you listened to him talk when he actually decided to open up a bit to you. It wasn’t much but after each nightmare he got he’d open up a bit more and more. You wondered, if this was one of the cases where he’d be opening up to you. But again, it felt different. Like he was trying to open up, but about something else you didn’t know about.

“Listen.” he starts, scratching the back of his head. Something you often did to comfort him, he tried to do it in a casual manner so you wouldn’t notice the action too much. But as always, you noticed. Nothing escapes your keen eye after all. You reach over and start to scratch his ears in hopes it’ll help. He knows that if he didn’t have all this fur, he’d be blushing. He grabs the hand scratching his ears, but in a gentle way. Not in a way that’s telling you to back off, nonetheless you stop scratching in case he doesn’t want you to do that anymore. To your surprise, he holds your hand in place, intertwining your small fingers together. His paw in your paw. You look at him with concern, a look he’s never seen you give him. He shakes his head, smiling at you. A smile that isn’t because of him laughing at somebody’s expense or even a cocky smile, his smile seems full of love. His eyes are telling you that, anyway. Like he’s looking at the most amazing thing in the galaxy. And you can’t help but wonder why he’s giving you that look.

He sighs, happily, dreamily. “You’re as clueless as ever.” he finally says, shaking his head, almost as if he can’t believe somebody could be so blind to how somebody close to them feels for them, “I’m not gonna keep up with the sappy shit. But I’m kinda in love with you.” he says, and that’s all he manages to spew out. And it’s then you realize why he’s looking at you in such a way. This is him confessing his feelings, and being vulnerable. Being himself, just like you’ve encouraged him to be for so long. And in that moment you realize, you love him too.

Little Tempest

Sigh 😩😤, Kafka…Blade… god damn bastards stolen my mind and all I can think about it is those two. Then Kafka’s fucking banger of a trailer comes out and i couldn’t help but have a story idea. All I’ll share is if you have played Punishing Gray Raven and know about Selena, then you can get a grasp on where this could lead to.

My dumbass forgot to switch public post to draft post

Warnings, this will be taking place during and after Jarilo-VI but before Xianzhou Luofu

For Elio to summon everyone’s presence was rare but to express concerns about the future of the Trailblazer, Caelus, now that was new. Kafka with Blade following behind her enters the meeting where they are greeted by Elio, Silverwolf, and Sam.

“Sorry for being late everyone.” Kafka spoke unapologetically as she and Blade moved further into the room to join Silverwolf and Sam in front of Elio.

“You two are unbelievable and learn to lock doors, next time you get them Sam.” Sliverwolf complained, gagging remembering moments before when Elio requested their presence she was sent to get Kafka not knowing Blade was there. It led to an unsavory sight for her poor eyes.

“You’ll understand once you have a partner, Silver-“ Kafka teased, her and Blade’s relationship wasn’t much of a secret since they didn’t bother hiding the fact.

“No nope, I don’t want to hear from you.” Sliverwolf interrupted looking away with red cheeks.

“Learn to knock.” Blade added crossing his arms.

“I did-“ Sliverwolf started glaring at him but he simply ignored her.

“Please save this conversation for another time, Elio has something urgent to share.” Sam intruded into the conversation nodding to Elio.

Silverwolf huffs, turning her attention to Elio who begins to speak, “Yes, it would seem the Astral Express will need to head towards Capriccio earlier than expected.”

“Although I don’t mind visiting, both Welt and Himiko personally handled the Stellaron sometime ago and it shouldn’t be active for a while.” Kafka stated.

“That should have been the case but it does confirm a theory that something or someone undetected is trying to change destiny and prevent the Trailblazer from reaching Nanook. Capriccio now contains four different fates and one of those will lead to the Trailblazer death.” Elio wasn’t going to share the other fates due to how unstable each one is nor was he going to warn them about the anomaly(s) possibly still being on Capriccio to ensure the Trailblazer death.

“And how do we prevent this,” Sam asked.

“The Chairman of Capriccio has the Stellaron within a laboratory, he’ll be the first to come into contact and will be under its influence. All you must do is ensure that the Chairman doesn’t contain the Stelleron in a suitable core.” Elio then looked to Blade, “Worry not Blade we will reach the Xianzhou Luofu in a timely manner, the Astral Express are less than halfway through their first journey on Jarilo-VI. It will be enough time for all of you.” Elio finished before dismissing them all.

“Oh, and Kafka,” Elio called out, causing Kafka to stop in her tracks and look at him as the others continued out the door although Blade lingered. “I trust your judgment on the fate of the core.”

“What are you hiding this time Elio?” Kafka muttered to herself walking out the door.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! IM NOT SURE IF YOUR REQS ARE STILL OPEN OR NOT, IF NOT, PLEASE IGNORE THIS!

its been like 2 or 3 days since i found your account and your fanfics and they are just perfect like they r literally the defination of perfect

and since i love reading ur fanfics, i wanted to ask if it was possible for you to write a gun x goo fanfic where they both realize that they slowly fall in love to each other, but they r too scared to admit it.. just idiots in love, yk. you write them so good and im here for it hehe.

love you, take care of urself<33

Oof Gun x Goo? Gotta admit, I love this pairing. Thank you so much for reading anon and getting back to your ask like... 8 weeks later (maybe 8 weeks of MORE reading heh). 🫶 Take care too!

Gun Park x Goo Kim: Equals

What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? Two lives fated to entwine for better or worse? Not souls to be saved but dragging each other to depths of depravity and then some.

Gun's ears pricked when he heard the name from Charles Choi. A weapons prodigy, someone meant to be his equal.

And on their first meeting, all Goo could say at first glance was 'woah' to the man standing before him. A legend built through rumours of ferocity and power on the grapevine.

What better way is there to prove everything than with a test of strength?

It didn't take long for them to bring out the brutality in one another. A bloody battle resulting in no clear winner but perfectly matched equals, lasting scars and permanent steel pins.

The beginning of a partnership.

An object of mutual hatred speeds up their bonding.

Mr. Carpenter. Tom Lee. Someone who tests the limits of their patience and what they are willing to do to achieve their goals.

Day after day, both put through their paces until their bodies are beaten and spirits almost broken.

Gun is the first one to offer a helping hand. A truce. Held in his palm a healing balm developed by the Yamazaki clan to ease the muscles and numb the agony.

It's not much. Though it means at least Goo can go to sleep instead of lying awake, brain kept sharp from his body and limbs pulsing with pain.

Goo calls him a bastard and takes it.

Opposites in so many ways yet different sides of the exact same coin.

Forced to spend minutes, hours, days, in one another's company. Until they know each other's habits like their own. Know every single button to press. Can predict the next words out of the other's mouth. The time together, the company becoming as natural as breathing.

It was Goo's idea.

After the training, after they both started working formally for HNH.

Cabin fever building from seeing each other day in day out. Partners during business hours, sharing a home during the rest.

Why not prove dominance in other ways Goo had suggested, thinking there is no way Gun Park would say yes to this.

But when all the constant fights only lead to dead ends, what else is there to do? Why not chase a little pleasure with the pain too.

Gun agrees.

It doesn't mean anything. Why would it? It's a means to an end (though the victor is never decided) and a way to fulfil a human need.

The first inkling of something blossoming is thanks to Sinu Han.

The Boss of Big Deal breaking Goo's glasses and him sulking all the way home.

After listening to his incessant whining for what feels like hours, Gun takes a detour; pulling up straight outside an optometrist and marching the blonde in.

He even pays the bill.

"Aww," Goo places the black frames on and Gun has to admit that his broken ones, the gold pair, never did him enough justice, "A gift for your boyfriend. How kind."

Little adventures together add up. Nights in a bathhouse. Natural springs. Sailing vast oceans. Drifting under the open sky.

Training and eating and fighting. Against each other or back to back, Gun looking out for Goo and Goo looking out for Gun.

Honing their skills, unknowingly, to fight with a very specific partner by their side.

Hours upon hours upon hours together.

Sunlight following as they drive along highways, experiencing the highs of summer and lows of winter and everything in between.

Moonlight illuminating dark corners in shady warehouses; casting a glow on all the skin torn open with violence and blood they have spilled.

It's a twisted sort of romance. One that would never be remembered as any great love story but fitting for demons that have never known anything else.

Karaoke in Ansan is never part of the plan.

(Neither was falling into bed together.)

Completely destroying the place and crew was but not the staying behind, surrounded by broken bodies and singing.

Goo pouts and frowns so much that Gun, even with the vein throbbing on his neck, acquiesce.

And when Gun suggested they make a move back to Seoul soon, and Goo scowled even more, saying he's having fun?

Fine. They stay for another song.

Which turns into 3, into 5, into the whole night.

Gun never gives in to the duet Goo asks for. He considers that a small win.

Goo is not familar with jealousy. Simply put, he’s an attention seeker. Loves the limelight, seeks it out and demands all eyes on him.

When Gun first started obsessing over Daniel Park, it doesn't affect him. Not really.

But when they're together, Gun is still distracted. Well, that's when it irks him.

On seeing Gun's broken arm, Goo laughed himself silly. It's what that bastard deserves.

Daniel Park should have broken his other one. Maybe snapped a leg too and his neck.

Goo continues to laugh even when he holds up Gun's phone for him.

Even when he knots that asshole's tie.

Even when he follows him to check ups and appointments.

Goo laughs especially hard when he offers to feed him and receives a dirty look in return.

It's only half a joke.

Everyone knows of their fights, the way they constantly butt heads and gripe at each other.

What no-one else sees are the moments of tenderness. That neither realise they are capable of giving and also could accept.

Goo, one that always prefers to run his mouth, stays quiet. Sitting in the gloom with Gun whenever a successor doesn't work out.

Eagerly takes the brunt of Gun's frustrations with his back arched and whimpers falling from his lips.

Then when finally, the storm passes, Goo is still there. Full of smart quips and sassy remarks until Gun cracks. A smirk, a tiny thing.

But it's there.

Debt is repaid and so is kindness, though no one is keeping count.

And neither would admit that it's kindness.

The night Goo returns home, shovel in hand after the run in with Charles Choi and Tom Lee, Gun is the one that offers to fight Tom Lee together.

Goo doesn't know how serious he is. Nevertheless the idea makes him cackle. Maybe they would win, maybe they would die together.

It’s kind of poetic, in a way.

In the morning, he wakes with Gun curled around his back and an arm flung over his waist.

Cards are still held close to their chest; Gun and Goo both keep their secrets. They're at each other's throat as much as they're on each other's lips.

It's an unconventional relationship that would likely doom anyone else but for them, it works.

They never tell one another how they feel, they don't have to. It's not in their nature to say I love you, anyway. Their actions speak for themselves.

Gun watches his partner, his equal, driving. Humming along to a pop song, windows down and breeze fanning his hair.

It really is strange how they have managed to slot all their broken edges together.

How the line has blurred and turned fuzzy, yet now he can't recall if there was a line in the first place.

Goo, feeling Gun's eyes on him, looks over and snorts when he sees his expression. It's become soft, softer still with each passing day. He would make fun but sometimes he catches himself wearing the same one.

And. Well, he doesn't want to be a hypocrite. Not with this.

Goo grins, wide and a little wild, "We have fun, don't we?"

Gun barely even needs to think about his answer.

"Of course."

10 Fanfiction Recs

In honor of IFD 2024 and @ao3org organizing the feedback fest, here are 10 fanfiction from my bookmarks (all complete, lots of oldies) spread across as many fandoms as I read.

Scylla and Charybdis by Mithrigil, puella_nerdii Fandom: The Hunger Games "Finnick decides that, come hell or high water, he is bringing his tribute home from the seventieth Hunger Games. That tribute is Annie Cresta. But Finnick never thought that he would have to choose between bringing her home and keeping her safe, and he wants both. How Annie Cresta crept up on Finnick Odair."

I heard Hunger Games was back in fashion, so have this fic from 2011 that's just so good.

Primary Colors by RobotSquid Fandom: Homestuck (no, I am not apologizing!) "As a young troll living in the desert with the Dolorosa, the Signless comes across an unconscious psionic wriggler. Over the next few nights, they come to understand and care for each other. Although seemingly destined to be apart, they make a promise to be together again. But the destructive ways of the highbloods are becoming more widespread, and as the Signless begins to dream, he dedicates himself to regaining the peaceful world Alternia once was. But troll society as it stands now holds no sympathy for a candy red mutant, a psionic slave, or the matespritship they have."

A canon-compliant (I think, I stopped reading Homestuck around this time) story about the Signless that's full of great world building and honestly I don't remember much but I have it on my bookmarks list for a reason, I'm sure.

A Long Road to Destiny by Miko Fandom: Final Fantasy VII (set in Final Fantasy X verse) "The summoner's journey is a long, hard path to walk. Having guardians you trust makes all the difference in the world."

The story follows Cloud, who is half Al-Behd, as he makes his pilgrimage to be a summoner. Early on, he's joined by Sephiroth, a former Summoner, and Zack, who wants to be Sepiroth's guardian, and the three begin quite the epic adventure to save Spira.

Immovable, unbreakable by Cards_Slash Fandom: Assassin's Creed "Altair has known since he was thirteen years old, the year he realized he was an omega, that his body was never going to be his own. He thought he had overcome his own fate when Al Mualim agreed to allow him to stay on as an Assassin but even becoming the youngest Master Assassin ever did not save him. Following the semi-failed mission at Solomon's Temple, Altair is gifted to Malik as a reward for his service. Malik doesn't want Altair but he does not turn down the chance to show him his place."

A retelling of the first game if Altair was an omega, lost his assassin status, was summarily married off to Malik, and had to work around all that to still solve the mystery and save the day. Altair is truly the biggest badass in this story, and the historical perspective on an Omegaverse is truly neat.

Teach Me How to Fight (I'll Show You How to Win) by Skalidra Fandom: Batman (DCU) "Dick is taken by the Court after his parents' death to be trained as a Talon. He becomes loyal, deadly, and the Court's primary Talon. At least until he meets a boy from the Court's secondary, darker kind of servant who gets assigned to be his partner, and makes him start to care about things other than serving the Court. Tim, a boy-genius member of the Court, could have told anyone who listened that pairing Talon with the other boy - Jason - was a poor decision, and the fact that the Grandmaster of the Court doesn't listen, at all, is something he's finding less and less tolerable."

I love this fic so much that it was my first attempt at fanfiction binding.

Oh, You Wondrous Creature by Ginia Fandom: Final Fantasy XV "Ignis Scientia had learned at a young age to perform his duties quietly and flawlessly. He learned not to draw undue attention to himself, as attention had often lead to pain and humiliation at the hands of those who considered themselves to be his betters.

He has no idea what to do when the attentions of one Gladiolus Amicitia are directed at him. He expects harshness and cruelty, but is met with something quite the opposite."

This is classic frenemies to lovers scenario. Ignis and Gladio start off disliking each other, but as Gladio uncovers more about the discrimination Ignis endures, he shapes up to be a friend, ally, and eventual lover for the steward.

Someone You Have To Let In by Arsenic Fandom: Batman (DCU) "Basically a horribly sideways BDSM-AU where Talia actually raises Jason from the dead to use him to get Damian to safety. If you're looking for super indulgent h/c, I got your back. If you're not, this is probably not the fic for you."

This was my introduction to the BDSM-AU, also called the Dom/sub AU, where people have biological imperatives towards either dominance or submission. The world building here is especially great, as there's parts that talk about how you raise kids in this kind of dynamic. Also I love me some Dick/Jason so there.

Holding Cell by red-catmander Fandom: Guild Wars 2 "Rytlock Brimstone is trapped in a human jail with a hairless mouse, a talking plant intent on infuriating him and a headache the size of the Black Citadel. Now he's stuck fighting in the arena, buying his freedom one slog at a time, and the only thing awaiting him when he gets out is scrapper duty.

He hates these people. He's sure of it. Especially Thackeray.

He really, really wants to hate these people."

Listen, this fic is hilarious. Like funnier than anything Snargle Goldclaw could write (if you know you know). It's Rytlock/Logan in like the crackiest way possible and while I unironically love this fic to pieces, it's main use in my life is to deal 1d6 of psychic damage to members of my GW2 guild.

Maan'alor - The Prime by papermachine Fandom: Star Wars (Prequel Trilogy Era) "Jango Vhett was Mand’alor only briefly to the Mandalorian Empire before he was captured by the Jetii and Republic forces on Galidraan.

Now an unwilling guest on Kamino, he is buir to Boba and he fears his protection can only stretch so far for the rest of the children made in his image. Jango doesn’t know if he can save all of the clones from the Kaminoans or the Republic, but he does know this: Verde sa akaan nau tracyn kad. Warriors are forged in the fires of war.

These children are made for war, and they have been fighting to stay alive since their creation.

He will do what he must to save them."

The series is ongoing, and this is technically the third installment in the series, but it's a great place to start reading. The series follows various characters in this AU where the Sith Empire, the Mandalorian Empire, and the Republic are all at war with each other. Meanwhile, an unwilling Jango is template to the clones, and he is NOT happy about is. But rebellions are built in secret, and Jango never was a very good spy.

hope has bloody knuckles by independent_variables Fandom: Star Wars (Clone Wars Era) "Davijaan discovers mountains, thinks about the war, and maybe falls in love."

I think some people are turned off from this fic because it's a relationship between Davijaan (Odd Ball) and an OC, but the main focus is on Davijaan and Cody's relationship with each other as clones, as having survived the Clone Wars with no Order 66. There's also some lovely word building around Pantora which is the real appeal of the fic, imo. And of course Loren herself is easy to like, with a strong personality and well developed character. You really want to root for her and Davi as the story goes on. Like, come on you two idiots! Figure it out! I do love this fic very much.

Oh my gosh picking only 10 fics was hard. Here's my bookmarks page if you want to see what else I'm reading.

With 🫚 and the Hercules imagery suggestion by @ladyamanda123 it really got me thinking about the plot of the Disney film.

Basic concept: Hades tries to out trick the fates by making Hercules mortal. Herc never finishes the last drop so he still has his strength, but has to work to go back to become a god. Hercules is paired with Phil who knows the ins and outs of what it takes to be a god. Hercules runs into Meg who is under a contract with Hades she needs to fulfill. The two eventually fall for one another and Meg doesn’t want to go through with her contract anymore. Hercules still struggles to see what it means to be a god until he makes the ultimate sacrifice of trying to save Meg after a pillar falls on her after she tries to save him. The only way for him to truly save her is to swim into the river of souls and grab hers. He dives in and is clearly dying as he reaches for her, but as soon as he touches her hand his thread of fate is unable to be cut since it turned gold and he made the ultimate sacrifice.

So. With all that in mind: how does that plot relate to Kaylor?

Well something appealing with this plot and the Fates is that in some way it could mirror Taylor.

A hero has their power taken from them accept a small amount. The powers that the gods have is what makes them unique from every other god.

So Taylor signing with a label that doesn’t let her be who she truly is, in a way takes away her power. She still has a small amount of it with her ability to write lyrics that are the epitome or a bait and switch.

She is then partnered with someone who can help her get her power back and knows the rules or the game inside and out.

She gets closer and closer till someone she meets makes her want to change the plans even more and at a faster rate.

The only way to become truly free and have all the powers back is to make a sacrifice for the one she loves or in the name of the one she loves.

That could be this bearding situation with NFL or breaking the image she has worked so hard to create.

I’m sure there is more in there somewhere.

If anyone wants to hop in the clown car, I have plenty or room! Lol

Tarot of Destiny / Chapter 10 - Partner to Monopolize

Prev | All | Next

Lucas: “Sorry to keep you waiting, my lord.”

> “Ah, Lucas”

Lucas: "Fufu… You've been receiving the thoughts of the butlers, one after another. Each person's thoughts are very sincere and positive, but... even continuing to accept them must be quite a lot for you, isn't it?"

> "Actually I'm pleased"

Lucas: "That's good. Then I will also… express my true feelings to you, my lord ♪ Now, please take a look here.

The tarot card I received is... 'The Hierophant' in the ‘upright position’. The meaning of this card is... 'Highly cooperative' and 'Refined mind,' among other things.

Fufu. The meaning of the card that represents me is 'highly cooperative,' huh? I couldn't have imagined that from my past self. It made me laugh ♪

But at the same time... I feel proud. I truly feel that I've grown mentally... and it's been the same since I met you.

Due to the incident with Lato... I feel that I've grown as a person. At that time... thanks to you pushing my back... I was able to overcome the long-standing barrier between Miyaji and me.

Something I had always imagined but never faced, my wish finally came true. You gave me the courage I lacked... and it's you, my lord, who prompted me to further personal growth. You are... truly an amazing person.

If you hadn't come to this world... we would have struggled in a more miserable reality. You, my lord, are an irreplaceable presence not only to us, but to everyone living in this world.

Fufu... do you think it's an exaggeration? But it's the truth. I can't thank you enough for meeting us... Thank you very much. Being able to have this moment with you all to myself... What a blissful time it is.

I wish I could always... just be with you alone."

> “Lu-Lucas…?”

Lucas: "Fufu ♪ Just kidding ♪ I truly want to monopolize you, but... Nac and Lamli also restrained themselves... so I can't be that selfish. I am 'The Hierophant', after all. I have to show a cooperative attitude ♪ Well then, I'll go and call the two who are waiting over there. Fufu... Nevertheless, I think I've truly earned that 'highly cooperative.' I can suppress such strong desires... for the sake of others ♪"

[A little while later]

Clack… clack… clack…

Nac: “With this, I think we third-floor butlers have conveyed our feelings quite well."

Lamli: "Yup, yup! I feel refreshed! But... I wonder how this leads to saving the lord?"

Nac: "How about it? My lord. After hearing the butlers' stories so far... Did you find anything that could be a clue?"

> "I wonder…”

Ms. Elvira said that ‘You already have the answer that will save the lord from an ominous fate.' But... for now, there's nothing that seems to lead to an answer... I can't think of anything.

Nac: "Is that so... Still, there are the butlers from the basement and the villa left."

Lamli: "That's right! We'll definitely find a way to save the lord! Besides, no matter what happens... We will always protect you!"

> "Thank you, Lamli"

Lucas: "Fufu... 'Looking back on ourselves and conveying feelings to the lord'... We started this to save the lord from an ominous fate, but unexpectedly, it became an opportunity to look back on how 'we were saved by the lord'."

Nac: "Yes. Just as Mr. Lucas says."

Lamli: “A lot has happened in these two years~ Thanks to the lord, I've grown a lot too!"

Nac: "Well... I can vouch that point as well. But there's still a lot of room for you to improve."

Lamli: "Yeah, yeah. Nac's still as naggy as ever~."

Nac: "If you change your attitude, you won't have to hear my nagging."

Lucas: "Oh well ♪ You two are still the same as always ♪"

Nac: "Oops... I'm sorry, my lord. I apologize for showing you an unsightly side."

Lamli: "I'm sorry for Nac's behavior, my lord!"

I felt a little relieved… watching the butlers who were behaving as usual. Each of them carries a heavy past... their backgrounds and personalities are different, but... after spending two years together... they show their gratitude for meeting me. For their sake too... I wanted to avoid the fate where we had to part ways.

Knock, knock

Flure: "Excuse me, my lord. I've come to pick you up... Is it alright now?"

Lamli: "It's Mr. Ribbon! Yup, it's okay now~ ♪"

Nac: "I'll rely on you for the escort to the next temple."

Lucas: "Yes. Do your best, Flure. You'll be talking with the lord alone... And you might think, 'I want it to be just the two of us like this forever,' but... endure that feeling... don't succumb to your desires.”

Flure: "Huh? Um... Y-Yes... Understood... W-well then, my lord! Please ride my horse this time. I'll guide you to the 'Earth Temple'."

Heyyyy Naff <3

You said in my pre-ending ask regarding Micheal that it depends on editing whether his fate will be revealed, and I'm assuming there are some memories Glitchtrap could have shown Y/N in that regard? (Or if I have missed it amongst my screaming please feel free to just point me towards the relevant bit). But yeah I slide back in here to sate my curiosity and also just. How long was he hunting Glitchtrap, was he involved in trapping him in the run down endo that Vanessa then stumbles upon, how is/ was he involved in everything Cryptid Sightings? Please tell me everything I am twirling my hair and kicking my legs (as you can see) <3

Heyyy, Luce :D

The idea was originally that Michael was going to make an appearance in the epilogue at the campfire that Y/N and Eclipse were dancing around—it's a spook for everyone as the boys could hardly detect his heartbeat from how calm he was (and being engrossed with a very lovely dance partner) and you feared F.E.I. already sent another cryptid hunter after your sweetie. Michael, however, is just dropping in to ask about Vanessa. Or rather, Vanny.

Michael is a rugged, grizzle cryptid hunter. His one and only focus has been on destroying Glitchtrap to avenge his slain siblings. He's been trialing Glitchtrap since before he attacked you and long afterward, but he lost Glitchtrap for a time when F.E.I. had caught him in an endoskeleton and shoved him into the lower levels of the pizzaplex. After that, Michael caught wind of Vanny and tried hunting her down, but Glitchtrap kept moving so quickly and disappearing just as fast.

Finally, Michael gets to hear your end of the tale, how you and Eclipse defeated the child-killer cryptid. Michael is somber, and you almost feel bad for taking a kill he clearly wanted, but you remind Michael about the night he saved you. He remembers you, he remembers all of Glitchtrap's would-be victims and those he was too late to save.

Michael is aware of child-friendly cryptids (he met Henry Emily about the time he first started hunting) and regards Eclipse calmly. Although Michael has no personal connection with Eclipse, they're very civil towards each other. Eclipse wants to know how Michael was able to sneak up on them like that, and Michael explains how he's trained himself to stay calm and not let his heartbeat rise so as to not alert Glitchtrap to his presence. It took a long time to master. Eclipse is begrudgingly impressed but also intrigued to meet the one who save you from your first encounter with Glitchtrap.

You get to thank him again for saving you. He simply nods his head, glad to see that you're doing well for yourself. He leaves after that and the night is a bit warmer for it all.

I ended up cutting this out so as to not distract from the moment between Eclipse and Y/N. But that's what Michael's been up to. Who knows where he'll go now!

#*smooch ya on the head*#luce i love your questions and your si twirling your hair pfffffft!!!#lavenoon #cryptid sightings #cryptid sightings spoilers

Hello....If you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/manhwa/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Why you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before....

Hope you don't mind if the same person ask a different questions. Thank you so much @metalandmagi .....

Funny you should ask, because I was just listening to a podcast episode about favorite fandom ships, and I had actually started making my own list that I was going to post anyway! And I don’t mind you asking, since I don't really have people to talk to about this stuff. I like looking at your blog and seeing other people’s answers too!

Here's my top ten! These are going to be kind of repetitive because I’ve already talked about these fandoms so much, but these are my favorite CANON SHIPS, meaning they’re actually together or at least have kissed or something. I have a million non canon ships.

10. Jem, Will, and Tessa from The Infernal Devices- I wanted to keep myself to one ship per fandom, but I couldn’t help it, I just love this OT3 so much. I don’t care what anyone says, they are a poly relationship, not a love triangle (and I maintain that if Jem wasn’t already dying, he and Will would have realized they loved each other romantically, and their parabatai bond would have fucked them over eventually). They all have an equal amount of love and respect for each other, and they balance each other so well. And I appreciate that none of them are relegated to being “the overly jealous partner who ruins everything for the other two.” We get time with each of them and love them all equally.

9. Patroclus and Achilles from The Song of Achilles- Call me a basic bitch, but these two are unparalleled in terms of doomed romances. I love friends to lovers, and the story is so widely spanning that it gives their relationship such gravitas.

8. Yona and Hak from Akatsuki no Yona- Still haven’t finished the manga, but these two are god tier for fantasy romances. I love that they completely lose their minds over each other whenever they are not within arm’s reach, and they’re another great example of childhood friends to lovers. Hak’s “teasing” attitude in the beginning of the series wasn’t my favorite, but it’s funny to look back on it later, knowing that he’s so in love with Yona and would murder the first person to disrespect her.

7. Shigure and Akito from Fruits Basket- Because why would I choose one of the normal, healthy relationships when I could go for one of the most fucked up romances in shoujo? These two…I don’t even know where to start. They’re the definition of toxic for most of the series, but by the end, you’re really rooting for them to be together with the Sohma family curse broken. Shigure is desperate for the curse to be broken so he can prove to Akito that he loves her without them being tied together by fate. Akito feels like she needs the curse because otherwise everyone will leave her forever. Akito sleeps with Kureno. Shigure sleeps with her mom. They’re “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” meets “mansplain, manipulate, man-whore.”

6. Sasaki and Miyano from Sasaki to Miyano- What can I say? They’re just so freaking cute! I think they represent the romance a lot of people in fandom want, because they bond over manga and slowly come to learn more about each other. Sasaki never pressures Miyano to return his feelings, and I appreciate the patience he has in waiting for Miyano to give him an honest answer to his confession.

5. Jesper and Wylan from Six of Crows- Another basic answer, but these two are so entertaining whenever they’re together. I love that Jesper starts out teasing Wylan relentlessly about looking like a pampered rich kid (despite the fact that Wylan also lives on the streets), but Wylan deadass saves the group time and time again, so Jesper comes to respect him more. This is how you do teasing in a relationship: they get under each other’s skin but aren’t complete dicks to each other. And I appreciate that the Shadow and Bone show changes their dynamic slightly while keeping the chaotic duo the same at their core.

4. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase from the various Percy Jackson series- The pinnacle of middle grade/YA romance. Nobody else is doing it like these two. What works about their relationship is that we truly believe their friendship as 12 year olds before they start to have feelings for each other. So many times, authors shove two characters together because they feel like they need a romance, but Percy/Annabeth progress so naturally. They tease each other, but they know they’re both capable individuals at the end of the day (and their wildly different brands of intelligence work so well), and as long as they’re together, they can get through anything.

3. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from Heaven Official's Blessing- I’ve shipped these two for much less time than these other ships, but they have smashed their way to my top 3 ships of all time. How do you compete with a god who’s fallen from grace and his eternally devoted follower who would burn the world down to see them smile? How do you compete with Hua Cheng, who has stayed by Xie Lian’s side for hundreds of years out of pure devotion, but not in a creepy or weird stalkery way? I think the biggest thing this ship has going for it is its sincerity. Hua Cheng doesn’t stay with Xie Lian because he’s hoping Xie Lian will fall for him eventually. He doesn’t believe he’s even worthy of Xie Lian’s love. But he stays anyway, because that’s what unconditional love is like. You stay when the one you love is at their lowest and you can’t do anything to help. You stay when they’re fighting the heavenly emperor and kick ass alongside them. You hold an umbrella over their head when it's raining blood and carry them across the ground when it's littered with corpses.

2. Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments/Shadowhunters- These two have destroyed me over the years. I think the best thing about this ship is how they bring out the best in each other and have changed each other’s lives for the better. Magnus is so outgoing and free spirited, but with Alec, he wants to “settle down” (lol) and raise a family. Alec started as the personification of the frowny face emoji, stuck in the closet with a stick up his ass, but now he’s basically running the shadowhunter world. They’re the perfect example of “opposites attract” who have changed their world simply by being in love.

1. Damen and Laurent from Captive Prince- Speaking of couples who change their world simply by being in love…I don’t know if any other ship will top them for me. All the other enemies to lovers ships can get the fuck out. They’re nothing compared to Damen and Laurent. So many times, people will write “enemies to lovers” or “hate to love” relationships that are just two characters snipping at each other or bullying each other for no reason. Get that shit out of here. These two start with the purest, most honest loathing possible. They hurt each other in countless ways, but they come to learn each other slowly. They have every reason to be enemies, but they come through each layer of trauma with love for each other. They’re the kings (pun intended) of this trope.

Honorable mentions: Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper- They’re just so wholesome and sweet. The progression of their relationship from like to love is so realistic, and they’re basically the live action/book version of Sasaki and Miyano.

Ronan and Adam from The Raven Cycle- (haven’t read the last book in the Dreamer trilogy, but I hope nothing bad happens). Their differing brands of chaotic energy compliment each other perfectly, and as a reader, the slow realization that Ronan is in love with Adam was so eye opening and satisfying in a way few other series have been able to capture.

Just for fun, here are some of my “less canon” ships too.

* Inej and Kaz (they're practically canon, but they never explicitly say they're together or in love...but we all know they are)

*Kylo Ren and Rey (also practically canonical since they've at least kissed)

* America and England from Hetalia (if I really want to go back to my fandom shipping roots. I read nothing but fics for them for like 2 years in high school 😅)

*Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima

*Hinata and Kageyama

*Carole and Tuesday

*Link and Sidon

to follow @i-bring-crack, here i present you all

Sung Jin-Woo / Woo Jin-Chil Weird AU WIPs Bingo (because my fantasy runs wild)

Fatal Frame AU: Jin-Chul disappears on assignement to investigate disappearance of people near small village. Jin-Woo, worried, plagued by nightmares and paranoid over moving shadows in their shared apartment, goes to find Jin-Chul himself. He had no idea that he’s Abyss’ creation that helped It to find and seek back what belongs to It. Jin-Chul was the only survivor in sacrificial night because his mother helped him to escape and ritual failed, entire village consumed in eternal darkness that froze this place in time. Jin-Woo, fighting with his nature as Abyss’ creation, arrives at sacrificial altar, where remaining piece awaits, clad in white and reds. The question is, will he succumb to shadows and finish ritual that failed or will defy his fate.

Houseki no Kuni AU: Clinohumite (Jin-Woo) is a right hand for Gray Diamond (Go Gun-Hee), not the hardest yet not the most fragile of gemstones. Being the one to keep track of all gemstones and their schedules, it falls on him to find always sneaking Alexandrite (Jin-Woo) and finally assign him a proper task. Game of hide and seek results in first proper meeting, the best fighter among them all that catches Clinohumite from falling and breaking, while shining purple eyes laugh at him. Since Clinohumite won by finding him, Alexadrite arrives next day at meeting in clear blue glory, under different light he changes his color and slightly personality. Clinohumite once was on Moon and returned from it barely whole but has no memories of it, because Alexandrite was his initial partner on patrol duty until he failed to save Clinohumite from abduction and that’s why he avoids him, ashamed of his previous weakness. Clinohumite’s abduction resulted in appearance of other self in Alexandrite (basically pre Monarch awakening Jin-Woo as blue hue Alexandrite at day and Shadow Monarch Jin-Woo as purple hue Alexandrite at night).

Idol AU: Jin-Chul wanted to be a normal office clerk, not to work as an idol manager. He lacks enthusiasm but he gets the job done, but even then he decides that he’ll quit after his final assignment. Final assignment happened to be the most popular Idol in South Korea - Sung Jin-Woo, who, compared to other Idols, is actually nice and easy to manage. Poor Jin-Chul has no idea what a disaster Jin-Woo is, especially after Jin-Chul caught his eyes. ‘After our contract ends i’m going to retire’ ‘Oh great i plan to graduate from idol industry and take a vacation with you’ ‘Congratulatio-- WAIT WHAT’ And Jin-Woo’s graduation alnum was full of love songs that broke top charts in less than a day.

Absolute Being Incarnation AU: No matter what, Shadow Monarch seeks his God, while God seeks familiar presence. They both awakened through pain and suffering, but in the end they’re together after lifetimes of separation. They’re Origin and Finality of everything, but most of all, they’re two pieces that perfectly match.

Gacha AU: Jin-Woo was a prime example of pop-culture illiterate. And then apparently Jin-Ah drags him into gacha hell where in addition to his Shadow Monarch title he earns The Supreme Whale title and he absolutely doesn’t regret speding money on 2D husbando when in theory he can have 3D one. Two pining dorks whaling the hell out of game for each other’s content because they’re afraid to speak about their feelings in real life.

Childhood sweethearts AU: Jin-Chul was a white crow that other kids avoided. That is until a really cute boy approached him and asked if he wants to play. Jin-Chul had a thought to be rude so other boy will leave him alone but honestly it won’t hurt to play with a child who’s younger by some years? After that they were playmates for some time because Jin-Chul’s orphanage took kids out to play in park, and one day this boy gifted Jin-Chul really cute but clearly child made plushies of himself and that boy, and Jin-Chul almost cried because no one gifted something directly to him and for him. And boy had courage to propose to him despite being at least head shorter and younger, and Jin-Chul told him to grow up first. That was their last meeting, but Jin-Chul still held those plushie dolls dear to his heart, caring and repairing them when time came. Jin-Woo never forgotten that lonely but pretty boy from childhood to whom he promised to marry once he grows up, and deducted it was Jin-Chul after seeing those old plushies that are clearly taken good care of. ‘If that boy from years ago to propose to you again, will you accept?’ And Jin-Chul silently drops plushies he was holding, seeing a fine man that still look at him with same admiration and affection just like that pure boy on playground.

Howl’s Moving Castle AU: Jin-Chul is a workaholic who rarely rests, but he still finds time to be kind to people. After unknowingly helping a Shadow Monarch in disguise, he gets cursed by other Monarchs for contacting with exiled one. Now it’s up to Shadow Monarch to return a kindness favor to human who got caught in this mess and fall in love with warmth and brightness of his soul despite his eldery appearance. Also there’s definitely a scene of Jin-Woo lovingly stroking Jin-Chul’s golden locks as man becomes youthful in his sleep again wrapped in blankets near fireplace.

Hades and Persephone AU: Under request of Gun-Hee (Demeter), Jin-Chul (Persephone) visits Underworld to welcome and help new God - Jin-Woo (Hades), since Jin-Chul knew previous Shadow Monarch and helped him from time to time to run things in Underworld. Because Jin-Woo had no idea, he accidentially fed Jin-Chul food from Underworld. Jin-Chul found a solution, thus creating seasonal cycle. Jin-Woo feels bad about his mistake and doesn’t notice how he fell in love with god of spring and nature.

Frog Prince AU: Jin-Woo is a soon to be heir to a kingdom, and he needs a spouse. Unfortunately, he’s not interested in getting married when whole country is open for explaration. In the end, his parents make him to shot an arrow - where it lands, there will be his spouse. Jin-Woo finds his arrow in swamps and near his arrow is an ordinary looking frog. Ashamed to lie to his parents, he brings frog back to palace, where he becomes an object of laughter. Heir’s spouse shall go through trials to show their skills, but seeing that heir brought a frog with him, no one took it seriously. But surprisingly, each morning Jin-Woo found each required item made with utmost care. Jin-Woo goes to bed ready to be a laughterstock next evening because there will be a ball to congratulate him on his engagement on swamp frog, but before falling asleep he feels someone stroking his head and whispering to wait for him at ball night. At that same night instead of a frog a beautiful man enters the room, a shining brilliance that adresses Jin-Woo as his future husband who took a good care of him while he was small and weak. Jin-Woo later finds and burns frog skin making things worse, because Jin-Chul was a cursed missing adopted prince that king Gun-Hee tried to find for years. Now it’s up to Jin-Woo to lift the curse and fix his mistakes.

Palace intrigue AU (Heavily inspired by Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and Cinderella): Jin-Chul’s parents were high ranked prostitutes in red light district that raised him in brothel. By sheer luck and because brothel owner knew General Go Gun-Hee by old friendship, he ended up in his care as a right hand man. By no mans Jin-Chul was a best educated man, but he knew basics enough to preform taks given to him. Who would’ve known that during his visit to palace with Gun-Hee he’ll manage to save princess Jin-Ah from being poisoned? Apparently brothel knowledge comes in handy when someone tries to assassinate someone. And just like that a faceless soldier with no name behind him and no education gains a favor of the Emperor, whom almost no one saw. And on top of that some palace minister, who happens to be Gun-Hee’s friend, has a tendency to drag Jin-Chul into problems while Gun-Hee laughs on background because while Emperor Jin-Woo is in disguise to escape his obligations as a ruler of a nation, it’s still hilarious to see that sparkle in Emperor’s eyes when your adopted son scolds the Emperor for doing something dumb.

IB-inspired AU: Jin-Chul is a busy salaryman, but when given free tickets to attend an art gallery dedicated to famous missing painter Sung Jin-Woo who had a very distinct style focusing on blues and purples, he attended. Too caught up in admiring art pieces, Jin-Chul doesn’t notice changes in gallery and accidentially falls into one of paintings. Ending up in reverse gallery with nothing but a vibrant yet dead looking yellow rose he wanders around and tries to avoid hostile Shadow series paintings that came to life. In the end Jin-Chul finds missing painter - albeit he has some memory issues. But then also he finds that Jin-Woo made a themed self portrait for Shadow Series before his disappearance titled ‘Shadow Monarch’. Now Jin-Chul questions who’s real and who’s impostor while questioning if the person he bonded with is the real Sung Jin-Woo or a pretending Shadow Monarch.

Genderswap AU: Jin-Chul never understood what Hunter Sung found in her - he got the looks, the power, everything he can desire at this point, he’s surrounded by best looking hunters out there, yet despite it all he follows her around, a workaholic, constantly tired and not best looking person out there. She’s tall and too sharp for a dream girl, no curves and softness, only sharp angles and muscle, no skirts and heels, only suits and occasional loafers. She even gets confused for a man most of the times so yes, what Hunter Sung potenially could’ve found in her is a complete mystery for her. On side note if both are women, Jin-Woo domineering the fuck out of men but chosing bae over hoes because she has her lesbian priorities okay and because chairman’s right hand lady is so fun to tease

Nier AU: After fall of humanity, two Androids - B1 (Jin-Woo) and A8 (Jin-Chul) - continue to wander on Earth trying to fulfill their mission despite no need. B1, who in reality happened to be E1 type Android and A8 - an old model - locate and destroy Monarchs - signle A.I. units that stop Earth from self regenerating. They succeed, but in the end, nothing is left on them, empty falling apart shells that want to meet their end together, because maybe they found humanity while it ceased to exist? /whoever gets why there’s numbers 1 and 8 ilu

Titanic (kinda?) AU: a rich class young master and an ordinary overworked coal covered engineer meet on luxurious cruise ship even though they were never supposed to. What can go wrong on nighttime when both of them meet and talk without social boundaries surrounded by lull of waves? As a part of engineering team Jin-Chul stays on sinking ship and after securing his family Jin-Woo having none of this self sacrificial shit because Jin-Chul has people he cares about too.

Gambler/Organized crime AU: Investigator Jin-Chul having a cold case on his hands - and potentially, the Shadow Monarch, one of Monarchs that rule underground criminal world in Korea, has needed leads to finally solve it, so killing spree can be ended. Once a month his syndicate organizes gambling night - a type of gambling battle royale between participants and Shadow Generals for winning and having a chance to have an audience with unreacheable Shadow Monarch. Jin-Chul, desperate to find a lead, signs in as a participant and slowly climbs him way towards victory, avoiding death along the way. Surprisingly, he gets small aid from ‘benefactor’ who seems benevolent enough. Jin-Chul survives the night and has a meeting with a mysterious Shadow Monarch, who’s curious what a government dog (heh--) is doing in such place and why going to such lenghts. Jin-Chul saw Monarch’s face and learned his name over a cup of herbal tea and didn’t even thought how he’ll walk out of here alive after that. It was written all over his face and Jin-Woo had best laugh in years because of that and after drugs kicked in and exhausted Jin-Chul fell asleep, Jin-Woo spared him, curious of what Mister Investigator will do and will his actions shake Monarchs balance in underground world.

Benelovent God AU (Crane's Return of a Favor inspired): Jin-Chul led a simple life as a peasant - there was food on his table and his adopted father was well, and that was enough for him. One night he got lost and stumbled upon a butterfly field, pleace clad in darkness yet luminated by flapping wings of blue butterflies. In middle of it grew an old majestic tree and right under it was almost destroyed altar. Jin-Chul, feeling tired after field work, tidied place a little and prayed to unknown god, asking for forgiveness and a chance to sleep near tree. Next day he wakes up covered by expensive looking robe and with butterflies sitting on him, but instead of taking anything, he draps it over altar and even leves small offering from remaining food he had. Jin-Chul continues to visit that altar and take care of it, eventually sharing how his day went or his troubles while doing work here, and when that happened, one of butterflies always ended up following him back home only to disappear later. With time his household started to flourish and life in village became so much better, and Jin-Chul one day asked if unknown god wants something in return for shown kindness and unknown god finally manifests, replying that Jin-Chul showed kindness first even though he had no idea to whom he prayed. It was kindness of a stray human that awakened a sleeping god that fell in love.

Fashion industry AU: Who would’ve thought that an average looking manager will catch worldwide known fashion designer’s eye? Jin-Woo was having a slump of ideas, none of best models inspired him, he had no one to model for his recently released collection photoshot. Enter Jin-Chul who was just accompanying one of models to end up dressed up and groomed for a photoshot under careful eye of essentric fashiom designer Jin-Woo. And then he gets an offer to be Jin-Woo’s personal model for next collection? Cue sexual tension during a simple measurements taking scene--

Blind and Mute AU: Jin-Chul was born blind. Jin-Woo became mute because of trauma. Two of them meet in a park, awkwardly sitting on a bench. Jin-Woo helps Jin-Chul to navigate around new places while Jin-Chul talks with Jin-Woo without demanding answering back. They grow comfortable around each other and their communication method is touch, two become function as one, comfortble and complete.

Villain/Hero AU: Jin-Chul was absolutely unfortunate enough to be selected as a Hero that will go and slay Shadow Monarch. Turns out Shadow Monarch is a bored shut-in who didn’t even leave his lands and has no idea that someone does crimes under his name. Entire misunderstanding gets resolved with a good cup of tea and Shadow Monarch decides it is time to socialize after being a shut-in for 1000 years. Jin-Chul thinks it was a bad idea. Jin-Woo says that hero now can rest since Shadow Monarch was slayed - his heart now belongs to a tired man who unceremoniously entered his palace to slay him.

Soulmates AU: with appearance of Gates and Mana, in rare cases hunters can become Soulmates - those who have a connection through which their mana reaches other. Jin-Woo was weak, but he felt much stronger mana trying to keep him somewhat safe, while Jin-Chul felt a weak flicker of someone’s mana shyly touching his own. The stronger Jin-Woo becomes, the more Jin-Chul knows and feels it, and eventually Jin-Woo’s mana starts to terrify and hurt him. Jin-Woo has no idea that Jin-Chul is his soulmate since his own mana started to eat other’s. Weak warm touch of other’s mana is what reminds Jin-Woo of who he is and that he mustn’t lose himself in his own power.

Omegaverse AU: Jin-Woo is a weakest hunter but also a completely ordinary beta. Then he gets hit with Ashborn’s yassification and changes to alpha that demands to domineer to claim to own. And then there’s Jin-Chul who’s also a normal beta and has no idea that Jin-Woo is an alpha because betas literally cannot smell others or feel. Despite Jin-chul being a beta, Jin-Woo still finds his smell rather nice and soothing, not annoying like alpha’s or sickeningly sweet like omegas. Cue alpha’s courting that an ordinary beta completely doesn’t understand. Alpha in Jin-Woo is completely overjoyed when Jin-Chul allows him to mark his neck with a bite even though it does nothing to beta and it’s a literal pain in neck but oh well, he can survive this (he has no idea it will become worse once it’s rut period someone save him).

That’s some weird ass AUs okay but those are at least fun sounding (i hope) because i have additional 30 in my safe but G O D they need brushing because they’re an overall idea mess WHEEEEEEEEEEZE)

#solo leveling #sung jin woo #woo jin chul #my friends let's make it a thread #yall share your AUs too #the more the merrier #i had to brorse and filter through 52 AUs i had in my folder because 2/3 of them are spur of moment #jinwoo and jinchul are fun archetypes to work with ngl #stories and ideas write themselves

Good Boys EriTav AU

The AU that saves Eridan, Tavros and probably Feferi from dying during Murderstuck!

Once Eridan and Vriska find Mindfang's journals and read about the Summoner, Eridan becomes interested in using him to his advantage. Vriska finds Tavros. Despite her efforts to swat him away, Eridan keeps intercepting her plans to talk to him, arguing, and fighting over the poor bull boy just trying to live his life.

After calming down and having a civil conversation about the custody of the lowblood (without him present), Vriska is reassured that Eridan only intends to use him to help with his duties in feeding Feferi's lusus. She relents and times are worked out for when Eridan can have him working and when he's offlimits for her. She even starts to see Eridan as a partner; making the wimpy boy more like the Summoner by working out and flexing his powers.

So Eridan begins 'kidnapping' and forcing Tavros into helping him. Rudely at first, telling him that a few lusi's lives are worth the greater picture, as the fate of everyone now rests on his small shoulders. If he doesn't help, everyone's blood will be on his hands (not the truth, but it's enough to guilt him into being compliant).

A routine is established when Tavros accepts. Eridan picks him up, they meet up with Feferi (at least she's nice to Tavros and always thanks him for his help!), they do what they have to do, then Eridan takes the bullboy back. It's usually a whole day affair that happens once every week.

As time passes, Eridan's hopes with Feferi aren't fulfilled. Despite her having more time to herself now that Gl'bgolyb gets full for longer, she'd rather use it to foster new relationships and talk to other trolls than to spend it with him, prematurely seperating herself from Eridan bit by bit.

Eridan is baffled. One day, while on duty, Tavros catches him checking out his unread messages to Feferi. Ehen she doesn't show up like usual at the end, he asks about it, and Eridan says she's busy. After a while of silence, Tavros asks if Eridan is okay. He did not expect the wave of venting that followed. It was the first time it happened. Not the last. Since then, his encounters with the bronzeblood are less hostile. And towards the end, without Fef, they spend a little longer on Eridan's boat just talking.

Then, the FLARP occurs. The poor boy is left paralyzed waist down and with his previous friendgroup (Terezi and Aradia) unresponsive. Even Vriska has kept her distance. Tavros feels scared, hurt and alone. He hadn't expected Eridan to knock on his door again, ready to pick him up. When he saw Tavros, he was shocked.

Vriska hadn't informed him of anything that had happened. He's mad. Vriska broke their Summoner! Eridan huffed and glanced down at the bullboy now in a wheelchair. He noticed how his usual, uneasy smile had been completely wiped. He didn't look like Tavros anymore. He was... smaller.

Eridan wiped his face with a groan, weighed his decisions, lifted his arms up in the air and shouted.

'Wwell wwe still havve a job to do! Let's figure it out!'

Tavros, with a wheelchair, ON A SHIP? It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to make it work, but Eridan didn't give up. And he was surprisingly gentle, not even getting mad at Tavros.

For the first time in their business relationship, Tavros felt... safe.

In the end, part of the solution was to get the job done quicker. But the pair unexpectedly found themselves lingering once they got on shore anyways. Like they wanted to keep talking... so, Tavros invited Eridan inside. Surprisingly, the fish boy accepted.

During this time, they found out they have a lot in common. They love fantasy and can spend whole afternoons debating their favorite media. They start seeing each other even outside of Lusi duty, just to hang out and play. Eridan isn't as pushy with Feferi anymore, his time being taken up by a new troll. An actual friendship is being formed (though Eridan DOES NOT call it that... yet. If prompted, he will insist that he is still using the low blood. Really, Tavros is just a way to get closer to Feferi! She has a soft spot for lowbloods, getting one of his own will make her interested in him again! And surely by spending less time with her, he's making her jealous...?) .... It's a lie.

When it becomes clear to himself how much he likes Tavros (pale), he switches gears and starts forming the idea that, well. Eventually Feferi is going to move to his red quad anyways, so why not... keep Tavros close and single for when that position opens up? He'd be a good moiral...

Then the shit you'd expect goes down as the game starts. Eridan is broken up with. He's DEVASTATED. Tavros is busy with Vriska, but when he reads messages from Eridan about needing another talk, he gets worried and looks for an opportunity to text back, being distracted and getting on Vriska's nerves more.

His chance occurs after Vriska 'breaks up' with him, finally realizing they wouldn't work as red rom. Tavros finally gets the chance to properly exchange texts in between playing and it's really helpful for the both of them in their respective sessions (Tavros gets to talk about how it went with Vriska and Eridan gets madder on his behalf.)

When they finally meet up, it's because Vriska dumped Tavros on Eridan's planet to 'help with the Angels, isn't she so thoughtful?' In actuality, she did it because she was sick of Tavros ignoring her and hoped he'd get caught in Eridan's crossfire but he actually helped calm the situation down and soothe the angels. Good shit!

Now the pair stick together, and Eridan at last, nervously (but trying and failing to act like he isn't), asks Tavros if he'd officially be his moiral. Tavros eagerly accepts!!! Their destinies of being lonely in the meteor crumbles with this timeline.

Eridan cant help trying to show off that he has a new moiral, talking him up in any conversation. In a way, it's to make Feferi jealous, but mostly, really, it's because he's happy he's finally got something good going on. Everyone largely rolls their eyes and ignores it, but Tavros always beams when Eridan does it.

They are cute and wholesome, even on par with the meowrails. Imagine these two giggling to themselves in the corner, always having each other's back, Eridan defending Tavros from Vriska and trying to fight his battles, Tavros intervening when things with Sollux look bad, Eridan giving confidence lessons haughty prince-flavored, Tavros trying (and being really cringy but endearing with his sincerity) to be Eridan's wingman with Nepeta.

Nepeta sees through their pale quadrant and putting them on her shipping wall, feeling like their visits to her have become less annoying and more interesting as she tries to come up with ways to get them to realize their deeper feelings.

Eridan still thinks about joining Jack Noir in this losing battle, but it's second to focusing on what's going on with Tavros's crush. Tavros tried confessing to Jade as Eridan instructed him to, gets rejected the same way publicly, and is embarrassed, but Eridan is there to blow up at Vriska for making fun of him. Instead of Murderstuck killing the two of them, Eridan and Tavros have been in Eridan's room trying to 'get over Jade' after Eridan's insistance. A moment is shared as they joke around where Eridan nudges Tavros and realizes he feels sparks when Tavros smiles at him and tells him he might have had a terrible confession, but he's never felt this good before, being with him. That's when Eridan has to call the whole thing off and they check the texts on the grouo chat. They stumble back outside to find that Vriska, Nepeta, and Equius have died. The murder clown is still out there. Sollux, Kanaya, the matriorb, and Feferi are still safe and sound.

There's more players, more hope as they meet Rose and Dave for the first time. That's where I end the AU for now.
