The Dancer [FA14 smau]

Fernando Alonoso x dancer!reader

Masterlist

Summary: Few months after, everybody laughs when they remember the rumors about Fernando Alonso and Taylor Swift dating. Would they laugh though if they new it maybe wasn't so far from truth as it may seem? Well, one thing's for sure - Y/N and Fernando will laugh very much while soft launching their relationship... and confusing everyone with swiftie content thanks to her job.

Warnings: Maybe wrong dates and timeline of The Eras Tour, but whatever XD.

Anyway, I'll be glad for likes, comments, reblog and every other way of showing support! Have a great day and let me know how you liked Nando and swiftie dancer together!

⌗ TWO SLOW DANCERS ₊ ˖ ་. gojo satoru x fem reader (1.2k)

⊹ ⠀⠀why doesn’t he love you?

contains; angst, rejection, reader just wants to be loved, gojo's kinda a dick, mitski did this to me, not proofread author's note; i'm thinking abt the guy who didn't want me rn sorry

“Can I ask you something?” you murmur, your voice nothing above a faint whisper. Fear of judgment is laced within it, something you can’t help but wish you could get rid of. “It’s going to sound ridiculous, and if you think so you can just ignore me.” He’s going to ignore you.

However, Gojo sits up straighter. His eyes are intending to focus on you. “Nothing you say is ridiculous. I’m always here to listen.” You want to believe him so badly. There’s nothing else in the world that you wish for. All you need is a confession, him reciprocating the depth of your feelings, but you know that’s impossible. If he felt the same, he wouldn’t have started seeing that girl; no matter the fact that she’s wonderful for him, amazing, and kind. If she’s so amazing, what are you doing wrong? What is it about her that you can’t compare to? You know you’d be perfect for Gojo. He’s your best friend. He’s the person who knows you better than anyone, so why is it that he doesn’t love you the same way you love him? It doesn’t make sense.

What are you doing wrong?

“...am I difficult to love?” You feel like you already know the answer. It’s a pointless question that’s been eating you up inside for years, ever since you first met and he instantly treated you as a friend when you wanted to be loved by him. “I know it’s silly, but I feel so helpless.”

Without realizing it, your words flow from your lips like a river streaming downhill. Not even the largest dam could hold in your insecurities. “I try so hard, everyday to be kind and patient and perfect; but no one seems to notice. Is there something that everyone else has that I don’t? What am I missing that makes me invisible? Why do I feel so stuck while the world keeps moving and progressing and making changes that I can’t keep up with? Why don’t you love me?”

There it is.

There’s the question that you’ve swallowed down for the past ten years of knowing Gojo Satoru…and somehow…

…it seems that he already knows the answer.

“I do love you.”

In half a second, your heart beats faster. It swells with an overwhelming pink feeling that practically causes it to burst. You almost see stars. In your imagination you’re flying through the night sky, weaving constellations together as you hold Gojo’s hand and ask him what he’s wishing on that shooting star, oh so close to you. So close, yet so far. So far, that it never reaches you; because nothing is ever as it seems. It isn’t a wish racing your way, it’s a meteorite. A meteor thats target is the home in your heart that you’ve made so lovingly for your best friend. The flaming rock finds your weakest point and begins to wither it away into nothing but hopeless shreds of dreams. In a half a second, you’re on the top of the world. In a half a second, your world is destroyed.

“I just don’t love you in the way you want me to.”

You’re a fool. You knew this was coming.

“I can’t imagine my life without you.” Shut up. Why can’t he just shut up? You don’t need these filler words, these empty statements that he’s only saying to make you feel better about your worthless self. “You’re such an important part of my everyday.” Shut up!

It’s so hard to hold in the tears. Your dam already burst— but instead of a river, it seems that you’ve got an ocean of feelings. This ocean is polluted, though. It’s littered in trash and oil, after years of wanting something that was never yours. Other men have thrown their waste in your waters and Gojo’s always been the one to clean it up. He’s always made you laugh…made you smile…made you believe that everything is going to be okay as long as you trust him. Now, you’ve made the mistake of trusting him with your heart; when he’s never cared if it shatters.

“Please don’t say those things to me.” It’s pathetic, the whimper shaking from the tip of your tongue. “I shouldn’t have said anything. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

Gojo isn’t even replying to you. He’s simply staring with the most pitiful look in his eyes, as if you’re a dying animal that he’s just shot with a rifle. How do you make him stop looking at you like that? You’re better than this! Just suck it up and smile!

Somehow, you find yourself laughing. “Don’t worry about it, Satoru. I’ll be fine, it’s just a silly little crush.” You’re lying.

It’s so obvious you’re lying.

He’s never been a crush. If he was a fleeting crush, then you wouldn’t spend your nights thinking of how you made him smile earlier in the day. You wouldn’t know his favorite place, song, and movie at the top of your head. You wouldn’t imagine his face whenever you picture your wedding day— at the end of the aisle, smiling at you with tears in his eyes. If he was just a little crush, it wouldn’t feel like your entire world is ending.

“I know you’ve liked me, it’s a little obvious.” He shrugs. “I just assumed you’d get over it?”

He knew? He’s known all this time?

There’s a war raging between your heart and your mind. It’s a battlefield with logic on one side and love on the other. The rational part of you knows that he can’t help his feelings. He can’t force himself to reciprocate something that he’s never felt before. That’s unfair to him, and you can’t make him love you…

…but the other half of you can’t accept that.

After all these years of waiting for him. Years and years of watching your closest friends find love, be loved, and experience all of the firsts that you’ve always wanted to experience with him by your side. He doesn’t love you. You’ve known Gojo Satoru since you were ten years old. You’re twenty now and still so delusional that you believe he can feel the same way. Why can’t he, though? Gojo knows you from front to back. If there’s anyone in the world who could write an encyclopedia titled with your name, it’s him; and he still doesn’t love you. You’re the person who’s been there for him through countless breakups and temper tantrums. You’re the one who he trusts most in this world, yet he will never…ever…want you back.

Someone is writing the story of the world. Someone is tying the strings of fate, the line of destiny, or whatever you want to call it; and that someone isn’t on your side. They never have been and they never will be…

…at least not in the case of Gojo Satoru.

“I’ll try my best.” A phony smile graces your face and you’re now realizing that he’s never once called you beautiful. Yet, you still want him. Perhaps it’s human nature to wish for the things that are terrible for you. “You don’t have to worry about me, Satoru. I’ll be fine.”

Yeah, maybe in ten years.

“I’ll be able to forget about this.”

You don’t think you will.

“I didn’t mean to inconvenience you.”

Your feelings are an inconvenience.

“It’s nothing.”

It was love.

@jegulus-microfic | jan 12 — stretch | words: 416 | cw: age gap

i might write a part two for this if anyone is interested?? so keep an eye out

Life hadn’t turned out exactly as Regulus had expected it to. Kicked out of home the day he turned eighteen, his only option had been to crash in the ballet studio he’d been attending all his life. He gets to live there, rent free, under the condition that he teaches classes four days a week for no pay.

After a year of living like this, he’s gotten pretty used to it. Sure, his savings account is almost empty and his social life is non-existent, but it’s not all bad. Even this life has its perks. Most notably: James Potter.

“Does your visit have a purpose today, Potter? Or are you just back to stare at my ass?”

This has been going on for almost two weeks now. Regulus finishes teaching his last class of the evening, prepares to do some final stretches to relax his body, and James shows up in the doorway.

He’s sure James has a valid reason for being in the building. This studio is only one of four units, after all. Regulus just doesn’t care enough to ask. He likes the attention.

“Can a man not just stop and enjoy the view?” James asks. Regulus stands upright and turns to look fully at James, raising an eyebrow. James laughs, and the sound fills Regulus with a strange warmth. “Yeah, I have a reason this time. What are you doing tomorrow night?”

Regulus doesn’t date. He doesn’t like the idea of getting close enough to someone that they find out how he lives. Plus, James isn’t the type of guy he would usually go for; late twenties at least, dressed head to toe in designer clothes that make him look like he regularly attends polo matches.

“You tell me,” he says, bending down again to stretch his back and hips, though it’s more for James’ benefit than his own.

He doesn’t date, but he’s not above using the attention of a rich man to manipulate his way into some free stuff. Besides, James seems like a decent guy, so at least the company won’t be terrible.

There’s a long silence, as if James has become so distracted by the sight of Regulus bent over like this that it has left him truly speechless. Regulus resists the urge to smile at the realisation.

“Right. Uh—okay,” James mumbles, clearing his throat. Regulus stands upright again, offering James an innocent look. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow evening then? Six o’clock?”

“You know where to find me.”

New fic incoming! This is a small thing I have been wanting to write for a while. There is not much plot, apart from @my-life-as-a-reader's headcanon of Grantaire and Musichetta being step siblings and my own headcanon of them being competitive dancers in their teenage years.

Summary:

Joly is wondering whether he should get up and join the conversation, when Jehan’s speakers give a small hum and a familiar riff starts. Musichetta’s head snaps up, a mischievous smile on her lips, and she turns to her brother. "Dance with me?" ------ The Amis are having a nice picnic when they discover something new about their friend.

Word count: 1,620 words.

Pairings: None romantic. Grantaire and Musichetta friendship.

Warnings: There's no plot to be found!

Heyo Dances! So I hear you're in the market for prompts, huh?

Well, I am here to deliver two to you: Victory and Dilemma!

I always leave the fandom/ship up to the writer... though considering your love for Dragon Age, there's not much of a question to that! XD

And, of course, if you'd like more prompts or different prompts, you know where to find me! Have fun!

-Mizuka

HI OH MY GOD I'M FINALLY DONE!

I finished the first one, 'victory,' fairly quickly and it's been up for a bit now.

But 'dilemma?' Hoooo boy. I did a 180 on that one. Anyway:

For Victory:

Rating: G

Theme/Genre: Gen, Family, Light Angst

Word Count: 1,116

Summary: The Warden-Commander passes on a valuable skill taught to her by her brother.

Notes: So this techincally takes place after Broken Bird, and some things can be garnered there via context clues so if you don't want spoilers for BB...read at your peril? But otherwise it's short and sweet.

For Dilemma:

Rating: T

Theme/Genre: Gen, Friendship, Self-Doubt

Relationships: F!Inquisitor & Leliana (oh my god a friendship)

Word Count: 3,523

Summary: Following the events at Adamant, Inquisitor Trevelyan begins to doubt the decisions she's made so far.

Notes: So! This actually doesn't follow the continuity of my longfics and is entirely separate from them. This is something I've had planned for a while, so no, my favorite angry elf is not in this one. I want to say it's fairly fandom-blind accessible, though obviously having context helps a bunch. I did my best to give a general idea of what's gone on without straight-up infodumping.

And that's all for now, I might be back later for more!

FFXIV Write 2022 //ffxivwrite info//prompt list//character info//master post//

Prompt five: Cutting Corners | idiom; to do something in the easiest, cheapest, or fastest way possible | Word count: 908 Characters: N'noah Wiloh and Sicard CW: None Notes: I have never played poker so if you see any errors with this short game of poker, no you didn't XD

There were only two ways to settle disputes when it came to dealing with pirates: a duel to the death or a card game.

N’noah much preferred the latter, as it didn’t involve as much cleanup, but the card games could be rather dragged out at times, leaving her bored and itching to do something else after a while. She was never one to participate in these long games, mainly because the pirate crew she worked for wouldn’t let her but she at least was allowed to observe them. Thanks to that, she quickly learned all the tricks and techniques to end the games quickly, even if that meant cutting corners every now and then.

When she escaped from her captors, she swore to cut all ties from pirate life but settling disputes and bets with a card game was the one thing she could never seem to cut out. In fact, it was something she became famous for in Limsa Lominsa and she gained quite the reputation of never losing any sort of card game. No one could figure out her methods or techniques, and no one was brave enough to even try, until Sicard and his crew stumbled upon her that is.

She had been enjoying a quiet moment to herself outside the Rouge’s guild when the rowdy group came marching toward her. With crossed arms and an air of confidence, Sicard challenged her to a card game, telling her today was the day her winning streak would end. Unable to back from a challenge, N’noah accepted.

Despite the unpleasant memories that bubbled as she boarded the ship, her mind was in complete focus mode as soon as she sat down at the barrel across from the Hyur. He looked completely smug as he pulled out the cards and began to shuffle–N’noah couldn’t wait to wipe that look off his face. “What are the stakes?”

“Toss in any amount of gil,” Sicard replied as he cut the deck and shuffled one more time. “The more the better. Winner keeps the gil, and loser has to do a request of the winner’s choice.”

“Any request?” N’noah arched an eyebrow at the other who nodded back with a cheeky grin.

“No need to tell me your request though, I’ll be winnin’.” He exchanged smirks with his crewmates and dealt the cards. “Ready to lose?”

“Darling, I never lose.” N’noah grinned back, her eyes sparkling in amusement.

And so the game began.

At first, N’noah played clean. Not that she had much choice in the first place because Sicard refused to take his eyes off of her and her hands whenever it was time for her to play. She would fold on purpose a few times, watching as that smug look only grew on his face each time. The gil pile started to get rather large as the game stretched on and N’noah quickly took note of how easily flustered Sicard got any time she would draw a card and toss a confident look his way with little to no comment. That’s when his crewmates began to aim snarky comments at him. It was so easy by that point to cut a few corners and perform a few sleight of hand tricks out of his eyesight because he would be too distracted snapping back at his mates to notice. After a few more rounds, Sicard slammed his hand down with pride.

“There we go lass, a straight flush.” He leaned back and corssed his arms, his mates snickering behind him. “Ready for my request?”

“Oh, I don’t think that will be necessary.” N’noah peeked her lavender eyes from behind her raised hand, a sly grin crossing her face. She watched in satisfaction as Sicard’s expression faltered for a moment before she placed her cards down in a flourish. “I think it’ll be me asking you for a request.”

Sicard staggered forward, his eyes growing wide at the sight of a royal straight flush. He looked back up at the Miqo’te, mouth agape as he sputtered, “But–you–I—how?! I was watchin’ you the whole time! You looked as if you was about to lose!”

“I told you,” N’noah giggled as she happily pulled the large pile of gil toward her. “I never lose.”

His crewmates began to cackle, clearly enjoying this. “Well now Sicard, that’s what ye get for braggin’!” One of them hollered as he clapped the still too stunned to speak hyur on the back.

Sicard seemed to regain some of his composure as he shook his head in disbelief. “No, no, you cheated!”

N’noah feigned a look of innocence, her lips forming a small pout. “Did I? How could I have cheated if you were watching me the whole time? Do you have any proof?”

Sicard raised his hand as if he was ready to present evidence but once again, he was left with his mouth open and shaking his head. He slowly lowered his hand, his face one of pure bewilderment. Behind him, Sicard’s crewmates began to roar with laughter, the taunting aimed at him only increasing as they clapped him on the back again and praised N’noah for her good game. None of them had any idea she cheated to get the game to play in her favor. How easy it was to fools pirates sometimes.

N’noah leaned forward with a coy grin and rested her chin atop her clasped hands. “Now then, about that request.”
