Vintagebeef and time loop?

The second-most annoying thing, he thinks, is that his crops just won't grow.

He's wanted to retire for a while now. Head out and live on a farm. Get some rest. Not have to worry about gunfire and business fronts and drugs and appearances and being in charge. He'd known he wouldn't be able to escape fully. Beef always knew he was on a timer, no matter how he tried to bury the hatchet and bury his past behind you. It always catches up.

He had a big name. He had a big life. He can't just retire from being head of Big Salmon, even if his loyal Skizzleman is the only person he told where he was going. One day, someone will catch up with him, and perhaps if he's lucky they'll turn his tractor into a car bomb. If he's unlucky, it'll be personal.

So in a lot of ways, really, the fact he keeps on waking up in the morning is a gift. It may be the same morning over and over again, sure, but he collects the eggs from his chickens, and he pats his dog, and he feeds his pigs, and he feels the sun shine on his face in a place that smells nothing like asphalt and fumes.

If his tomatoes would grow, it'd be nearly perfect, getting to wake up again and again in the sun like this. It's better than a man like him deserves, really. And it may be Wednesday, and Wednesday, and no tomorrows, but he didn't have himself much of a tomorrow anyway, and collecting the eggs from the chickens is nearly as good as harvesting the crops.

Quiet, and peaceful.

Or it should be. But see: the crops not growing are the second-most annoying thing.

The first most annoying is--

"HALLO! I have decided that this time, I am announcing I am here to assassinate you, ah? That way, you won't see it coming and manage to escape."

Beef groans and puts his head in his hands. A red dot appears on his temple.

"Don't try to run. You have a lovely home, of course, and I don't want to put holes in it. You've repaired those holes real fast, I have to say. You're a real hole expert. No, wait, that sounds terrible in English. Ah well, I'll just say it again."

It's him again.

"...hello? VintageBeef? I have been hired to kill you by your rivals? You aren't even moving. See, this is how you always get me. You do not move and I think I have killed you, then I come back in the morning and it is fixed! Very strange, very strange."

He hasn't realized it's a time loop. Somehow. Beef's tried to tell him. It's a little hard when he's busy being as annoying as possible, and ruining what would otherwise be the best chance for Beef to retire he's got.

"Well, okay, I guess I'll just pull the trigger. This is boring. You're boring, except for the part where you won't die. Hey, wait, maybe you can introduce me to your chickens instead? So next time I can bring you a totally safe chicken."

"Go away," Beef says.

"But I'm being paid so much money to kill you!" the famed assassin codenamed Iskall85 says. "We're friends, aren't we?"

"No!"

"But I've tried to do this so many ways!"

"Have you considered there's a reason it's not working?"

Iskall considers for a moment. "Naaaaah," he says, and Beef's instincts flare all at once. He dives to the ground as Iskall takes the shot. "Awww, no fair. I thought you were not moving."

"What do you want from me," Beef says.

"I mean, I feel like I've been pretty clear," Iskall says, and Beef doesn't say that he's not even asking Iskall at this point. He's asking the universe. He's asking this Wednesday. He's asking why this has happened to him.

The universe, of course, does not respond, and Beef ducks behind cover for yet another day of his peaceful time loop retirement being completely ruined.

For the trope mash-up post, may I request Fake Dating and Soulmate AU for Drarry please, if it sparks any fun inspiration?

(P.S. you're wonderful and I will love literally anything you come up with, even if it's not for these prompts, I just got super excited when you posted this 💜)

No, YOU'RE wonderful!!

So this is what came to me - and I can actually see the rest of the story but I have to go adult for a bit, but I am going to come back later and write some more of this! (As per usual, this is pretty much SOOC and unbeta'd, etc etc.)

Draco’s known since the Final Battle. 

He’s pretty sure Potter has no idea, whether it’s that no one’s remembered to tell him about soulmates, or that his mark hasn’t activated yet, but he treats Draco exactly the way he’s treated him since they'd all arrived at University. He’s unfailingly polite, cool and distanced, and deeply disinterested in one Draco Malfoy.

Which isn’t, you know, how you’re supposed to treat your soulmate.

The thumbprint on Draco’s wrist had flared to life when Potter had grabbed his arm to haul him onto the back of the battered broom that carried them both out of the fire. He’d almost fallen off at the way Potter’s magic had rushed over him, through him. Draco had always heard the stories that connecting with your soulmate could be disorienting, but since it happened to him in the midst of mortal terror, Draco’s not sure his experience was typical.

It’s also very rare that one person connects and the other doesn’t, although it does happen. It takes time for the bond to solidify, to grow into a true soulmate connection, and obviously, that’s not happened here. Basically, Potter is a faint echo in Draco’s mind, enough to distract and ache a little, nothing more than that.

All this to say, it’s weird when Potter comes dashing into their suite common room one Saturday afternoon, looking wild-eyed and somewhat disheveled. It’s a rainy day, raw and windy, the kind of day where Draco does not plan to leave the building if he can help it. Potter is damp and windblown, so he clearly had other ideas. Fucking weirdo.

Potter looks around wildly, and lights up when he spots Draco curled up on the couch under his favorite striped blanket.

“Malfoy,” he says eagerly, and Draco blinks up at him in surprise.

Potter’s never sounded happy to see Draco before.

“Yes?” Draco says cautiously. “Can I help you?”

Potter nods vigorously. “You can, yes, absolutely. I need you to pretend to be my soulmate and go to the gala with me tonight.”

“I beg your pardon?” Draco asks, trying to make sense of the words he’s just heard. “You need me to what?”

Potter hangs his coat on the rack by the door, kicks off his grubby trainers and makes his way around the couch to plop down next to Draco.

“I need you to pretend to be my soulmate and go to the gala with me tonight.”

“That’s what I thought you said,” Draco says. “But also, what the fuck are you talking about?”

Potter sighs, lets his head rest on the back of the couch and runs a hand through his unruly hair.

“You know how the press…” his voice trails off and he flushes.

“Follows you around incessantly and makes your life a living hell?” Draco says dryly. “Yes, Potter, I’m aware.”

“Well, someone thought it was a good idea to advertise that I haven’t found my soulmate, and to suggest that anyone who’s unbonded should come to the gala tonight and you know. Shoot their shot or whatever.”

Draco sits bolt upright, outraged. “What the hell? That’s bullshit. That’s not even how it works!”

Potter just sighs again and slumps down even further, eyes closed. “Yeah, I know that, but it’s turned into this whole thing, and every girl in the greater Oxford area, apparently, is now coming to the gala.”

“Can’t you just… not go?” 

Potter shakes his head, looking miserable. “No. The Fund is really important to me. I promised to speak.”

“So your solution is to fake a soulmate bond with a man?” Draco asks and Potter snorts.

“Okay, well, when you put it like that, it does sound stupid. I just thought if I could get them all off my back for a bit… No, you’re right. I’ll just have to get a bodyguard again, I guess.”  

He sounds so utterly miserable that Draco can’t help but feel sorry for him, which is why he finds himself saying, “Yeah, I’ll do it.”

Potter opens his eyes to stare at Draco. “What?”

Draco shrugs. “I’m not doing anything tonight, there’ll be wine at the gala, yeah?”

Potter looks excited but then his face falls. “But what about your soulmate? What if they’re out there looking for you?”

Draco looks away and swallows. “That won’t be a problem.”

Potter’s eyes narrow. “Why not?” He sucks in a breath and whispers, “Malfoy, do you know who your soulmate is?”

Draco just nods and there’s a long silence while Potter clearly puts some picture together in his head. He’s never been stupid, Draco concedes. Since for all intents and purposes, Draco is unbonded, Potter must know there’s something wrong with all of it.

Finally Potter says, “If you’re sure.”

“I’m sure,” Draco says and finally turns to look at Potter. “It’ll be fun,” he says carelessly. “What should I wear?”

PWP + Bathtub Fic Inu/Kag

Hello, anon! You're probably long gone by now, but I rise from the ashes with your request. Explicit-ness below the cut 😙

☆

It wasn’t his fault he was bored.

It was hers for spending over an hour in that fucking bubble bath.

Inuyasha thought he was doing something nice for her – he was dammit – but when the clock kept ticking and Kagome kept not emerging from the bathroom, he was starting to get antsy. It was borderline pathetic; the way his foot tapped incessantly and a long sigh left him every few minutes.

He glanced at the door from his spot on the sofa, that stupid barricade that kept him away from his girlfriend, and he scowled. They’d only been dating for a few months, but it was times like this that his less than stellar traits got their chance to shine.

Namely, his clinginess.

It couldn’t hurt to just check on her; knock on the door, and see if she was okay. And what would stop him from turning the handle, assuming she’d left the door unlocked? His feet were moving before he could think to stop them, and his hand was on the doorknob – sans knocking – before he could blink.

Mist hit him first, laced with the lavender-scented bubble bath he’d sneezed over when preparing it for her. She liked it, so he put his hatred aside for her woefully human nose, which couldn’t pick up on the nuances he so desperately hated. He blinked through the haze, latching onto the girl submerged in the tub. Head and shoulders over the water, she looked a picture with her hair piled on top of her head, leaned back and rested on the edge. Her eyes were closed, but the smile playing with the corner of her lips hinted that she’d heard his entering. He closed the door softly behind him, walking the two feet necessary to reach her before he crouched down. He waited it out, and the seconds she ignored him felt like an eternity until finally, finally, she turned her head and cracked an eye open.

“Can I help you?” she asked, and he perked at the teasing tone.

He tucked his lip between his teeth, settling his arm on the tub’s edge to let his fingers languidly dangle in the warm water. “Depends.”

“On what?”

“On how long you intend to stay in there.” His fingers danced along the surface of the murky water, and he cursed the colouring that blocked his view, popping a few bubbles with the tip of his claws along the way. “You’ve been forever,” he added, and if a whine worked its way in at the end, no, it didn’t.

She giggled, soft, melodic, and if he had to play the sap – though who was playing – to get her to do it again, he’d give her that.

“Hmm.” She shifted in her spot and angled herself towards him. “I dunno. You made it so perfect I could just stay in here forever.”

He scowled immediately, despite the teasing. He watched her face twist up as she tried to contain her amusement, and he knew he needed to ramp it up.

Beat her at her own game.

“I see,” he said, eyes following a trail from her face down to her neck, her shoulders, any bit of skin he could latch onto. The sweat that clung to her left a delightful sheen, and his lip curled as his fingers made their way towards her. He leaned his head against his arm, dropping the scowl for a picture of innocence. “Guess we’ll have to make do then.”

“What–” Her question fell short when he raised his hand to trace along her collar bone.

Her chin kissed her chest as she watched, and Inuyasha twitched a smile when her teeth bit into her bottom lip. The tip of his finger swiped at a bead of water that clung to her skin and moved lower. When his finger brushed her nipple, and she started to squirm, that little smile he wore turned into a grin.

When his hand dipped under the water and traced along her ribs, she leaned back again, taking her eyes away from what he was doing and meeting his. The second they connected, his jeans grew tighter than they already were because fuck, that half-lidded look he gave her was just as exhilarating as the first time she’d blessed him with it.

Probably always would be.

His knuckle dipped into her hip, and when his fingers met the patch of hair at the crux, he tipped his head where it leaned against his arm, smiling into it when she sighed and shifted. Her legs parted to give him access, and his fingers slipped downwards. She gasped when the pad of his finger grazed her clit, her head tipping back to lean against the edge of the tub as her eyes slid closed.

His fingers circled how he’d learned she liked it, but he kept the pressure light – the friction that water afforded wasn’t ideal, and eventually, he dipped lower to tease her entrance. He shifted onto his knees when he felt the difference. She was wet even under the water, and he considered pulling his dick out of his jeans when he slipped a finger into her, and she hummed along with it.

Her head lolled, and she peeked at him under her lashes with a smile. His eyes dropped to her lips, and he had to lean over and claim them as he pushed his finger deeper, swallowing her gasp with his own. His tongue traced her lips as they parted, and his hand moved languidly against her. Her knee bumped his arm, and he pulled back to see what she was doing. He shifted when her leg emerged from the water and hooked over the edge of the bath to give him better access. And he smirked.

Clever girl.

His teeth pulled at his bottom lip as he squinted at the bubbles for a moment, like staring hard enough would allow him to see what they were concealing, but a wet hand touched his chin, and he broke free of his feeble attempts at X-Ray vision.

He dropped his free hand to the floor to brace himself as he leaned forward and kissed her again, adding a second finger along with the first. Wet hands rose from the water to cup his face and draw him further into a kiss that had his head swirling more than it already was.

The water moved with him and licked at his sleeve; her legs tensed, and she shifted under the water, and before long, she was so close that he could almost taste it. Her hand shot out to grasp his arm, and that’s what did it – water rolled over the tub’s edge and soaked his front. It broke his rhythm, and he slowed his roll as he glanced down at his completely soaked shirt.

She whined, tugging at the hair that hung loosely from his bun to bring his eyes back to her. She was pouting, flushed, the crease in her brow begging him to finish her off.

And while he could never deny her the attention, the water slowly soaking into his jeans was becoming too uncomfortable to ignore.

“Inuyasha,” she said, “please.”

The devil on his head reared its ugly head. If he got her off now, she’d vegetate in the bath for another hour – maybe more, he shuddered to think – and the angel with taped-on cardboard wings promised it would work out in the end.

“I dunno Kagome, “ he began, pulling his hand away from her and out of the water, “we should probably clean this up.” He looked down at the puddle on the tiles before standing, ignoring the squawk of indignation from the girl he’d left teetering on the edge. He pulled on his shirt with a tut for dramatic effect, grumbling under his breath as he peeled it off his skin.

“Gotta change,” he said, tugging it up and over his head. He threw the soaking shirt towards the hamper in the corner before turning on his heel and heading for the door.

“Inuyasha?”

He looked over his shoulder and fought so hard not to laugh – her mouth hung open, and her eyes were furious as she gripped the edge of the tub. “hurry up in here, would ya?”

He practically flew from the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. He slapped a hand to his mouth to stifle the laugh he could hardly contain – what an utter freak he was, disturbing her bath, bringing her to the edge and just leaving her hanging over it before running away.

It was childish, self-serving and not cool on any accounts, the worst kind of ‘prank’ someone could pull.

But he doubled over and barked a laugh when he heard the frantic sloshing of water coming from the bathroom he’d just vacated. He pictured her scramble with every slosh he heard, wheezing when the stomp of wet feet slapped the tiles. She wrenched the door open, but he was too busy crumbling under the weight of his terrible sense of humour to look at her.

“You asshole,” she cried, slapping his back when she reached him.

But he heard the laugh in her voice, and he turned his grin on her. She shrieked when he grabbed her around the waist, hoisted her over his shoulder, and headed for the bedroom.

He tapped his hand against the ass he held hostage, and her protests turned into a fit of giggling when he launched her onto the bed. Wet and naked and exactly where he wanted her, he smiled when he took in the parts of her that bubbles had previously hidden.

He’s never been a patient man, and as far as he was concerned, all was fair in love and war. He crawled over her and hooked his arms under her knees to tug her towards him, stomach fluttering when she smiled wide and threw her arms around his shoulders. “Serves you right for keeping me waiting.”

9. Hello! I am in the mood for a wangxian arranged marriage fanfic. I would prefer a longer story (over 50k words, if possible). It can be canon or even AU. I would like the story to focus not only on the relationship between LZ and WY but also on the politics behind it. It can also be omegaverse. It would be great if their relationship is rocky at first and then becomes better. If there's more fanfics like this, I would be grateful for all of them. Thank you very much. @/broodyelii

11. I am currently reading "Get it right (mdzs time travel) Series" by AmiraAlzilu (AO3) and now I'm ITMF for a time travel fic where LXC and LQR are specifically called out for their lack of trust in LWJ witness testimony (aka child/elders in the Burial Mounds) and believing a sworn brother over family. Bonus for a) apologies or b) digging a deeper hole aka surely LWJ is mistaken, Meng Yao would never, I'm looking at you chapter 15 to 17 of this fic LXC (yes I'm salty). Bonus bonus for consequences on LXC's loose lips telling things to others he was asked to keep in confidence.... @/mreisse

Does have LXC coming to WWX for help & seeing the truth, & characters calling him tf out on how it took him this long, so requester may still be interested

13. I swear the only reason I can still consume Wangxian content daily is because of your recommendations.

There’s a couple fics I’ve been craving for a while and haven’t been able to find any I really love, so any help/ recommendations would be much appreciated!

A) Lan Xichen focused fics. It’s so hard to find fics that centre him.

B) Lan Sizhui focused fics. Mainly him with his dads/ family, but also him remembering his past would be great! Baby or adult A-yuan.

C) Wangxian being parents. Wei Wuxian being single parent. Just them being amazing dad’s content.

I’d appreciate any of these prompts 💞✨💫 @/jinxedjaz

39 + 95, ship of your choice

Fanfiction Trope Mashup: 39. Survival/Wilderness Fic + 95. Sleep Intimacy

Hello! So I'm going to be honest with you and say that survival/wilderness stories have always given me anxiety and I've never enjoyed reading them, so the closest I got in writing one was a camping fic. I know it's not the same, but hopefully this is alright <3 (ship of choice was Steddie)

-

You might not know it to look at him, but Eddie had been an outdoorsy kind of kid.

He’d loved playing outside (he’s still the king of finding cool sticks to use as wizard staffs) and he’d always looked forward to his and Wayne’s annual camping trips. Wayne had taught him a lot about surviving in the wilderness on those long weekends, and Eddie had looked at them as grand adventures.

Eventually, of course, Eddie had gained other interests, and Wayne’s hours at the plant had changed, and the camping trips had petered to a stop. Eddie looks on the memories fondly, but doesn’t necessarily feel the need to go back and relive them (particularly not after the days he spent roughing it during the spring break from Hell). He’s happy to leave the outdoorsy activities to Steve these days. Steve loves going hiking, loves swimming, doesn’t even mind doing yardwork; he’s the one people would look at and assume he’d spent his childhood outdoors, except–

“You’ve never been camping?” Eddie asks, sitting up to look down at Steve where he’s squished in beside Eddie on a pool lounger that is absolutely not meant to fit two people.

Steve shrugs. “I always wanted to go, used to ask my dad a lot, and he used to promise he’d take me when he could get the time off of work,” he says. “I think he got pretty fed up with my asking, though, so I just kinda… stopped.”

Well, damn, if that doesn’t poke at a soft spot in Eddie’s hardened little heart.

“We could go,” Eddie blurts.

Steve blinks up at him. “What?”

“Me and Wayne used to go camping every year. I remember a lot of how it’s done, so… you and I could go,” Eddie offers. “If you want.”

“Yeah?” Steve asks, a smile blooming across his face.

Eddie can’t help his answering smile. “Shit, yeah. Let’s go.”

If it makes Steve this happy, Eddie thinks in between Steve’s excited little kisses of thanks, then even if it goes terribly, Eddie won’t regret offering.

It takes a little bit to finagle their schedules and get time off together, but they manage it on the first nice weekend in spring. They pack Steve’s car up with a tent and sleeping bags and provisions and everything else Eddie can remember them needing (and a few things Wayne helpfully reminds him of), and they set off on their adventure.

The weekend starts off well. They set up the tent with minimal swearing, and manage to get a fire going, and explore the trails surrounding their camp, and spend the first night looking at the stars that shine brighter here than they do over Hawkins, and it’s nice.

It’s nice right up until Midwestern weather rears its unpredictable head while Eddie and Steve are out hiking on Saturday afternoon. The clouds roll in fast, rain-scented wind kicking up and shaking the limbs of the trees above them; they turn around to head back to camp, but they aren’t quick enough to beat the incoming rainstorm.

They’re soaked by the time they reach the tent, running and spluttering and laughing breathlessly, zipping the flap shut behind them and shucking their wet clothes before they can drip all over everything. They leave them in a heap off to the side, hopefully to be line-dried later, and do their best to dry off in the confined space.

“Gonna be hard to warm up without the fire,” Steve comments as he tries to scrub the rainwater out of his hair.

The weather has been nice, but not so nice that standing around damp and in their underwear is particularly comfortable. Even in the close space of the tent, the air isn’t warm, and Eddie eyes the goosebumps texturing the bare expanse of Steve’s tanned skin.

“I have an idea,” Eddie says, and Steve looks up at him expectantly. “C’mere.”

Eddie nods to the little nest they’d made the previous night by zipping two sleeping bags together and covering it with a couple of extra blankets. They don’t bother with dry clothes – isn’t skin-to-skin contact better for warming up, after all? Eddie slides in first and Steve joins him, immediately pressing the line of his body up against Eddie’s, curling an arm around his waist, tangling their legs, and resting his cheek against Eddie’s chest. Eddie tucks the blankets up a little closer around the both of them and settles down, wrapping both arms around Steve’s back.

“How’s this?” he asks.

He can feel Steve’s contented sigh as much as he can hear it, and Steve wiggles a little against Eddie’s front, as if there’s any space left between them to eliminate.

“This is good,” Steve says softly.

And it is, Eddie decides. He presses a kiss to the top of Steve’s head, where the earthy smell of the rain lingers, underscored by the faint, familiar scent of Steve’s shampoo. Rain continues to patter against the roof of their tent, and the soft, dim afternoon light does nothing to discourage either of them from beginning to drift.

If it can always be like this, Eddie doesn’t think he’d mind making camping an annual thing again. He wouldn’t mind at all.

Vacation + fake dating - Kiri x reader please 💖💖💖

not this ending up being almost 2K words... i blame my inability to write without providing context. i hope you like it em!!!

for the fanfic trope mashup game!

34. Vacation Fic + 48. Fake Dating 💖 Kirishima Eijirou x Reader

“Mom,” you say, a little exasperated, watching her as she fiddles with her luggage. “It’s fine. You didn’t forget anything. You shouldn’t mess with it—the Kirishimas will be here any minute.”

Your mother pauses. “You’re right.”

She turns to your father. “Now, I know you definitely forgot something. Do you have your wallet?”

You sigh, tuning them out and turning to watch the road. 

Going on a joint family vacation was not on your bingo card this summer. 

A couple months ago, on a phone call with your parents, you let yourself be guilted into it. You’d moved several regions away for university after high school, and your education has kept you away for nearly ten years since, as you’ve worked hard to obtain your doctorate and secure your job. 

Of course, when you could afford it over the years, you visited your parents for holidays and special occasions. But recently, you’ve been so busy with work that you haven’t seen them in over a year. So when your mother told you she’d won an all-inclusive stay at a resort and asked you to come with, you couldn’t say no. 

Conveniently, they omitted the information that they’d invited the Kirishimas, long-time friends of your parents, and their son, on this vacation. 

“It’ll be nice for you to see Eijirou again!” your mother told you. “Don’t be such a downer.”

You aren’t being a downer. It’s just… The last time you saw Kirishima was when you were kids. You’d grown up playing together. You’d gone to school together, though had different friends and were in different classes. He completely fell off your radar once he got into U. A., though your parents kept you informed about his wellbeing through that troubling time during his first year and through the war. 

There were times when you wanted to reach out to him—check in and see if he’s okay. Tell him you’re proud of him, proud that he got over that insecurity he had over his quirk and became a hero like he always wanted. But it just never happened. 

A van turns the corner and slows as it approaches your house, and you tap your father’s arm. 

“Is that them, you think?” you ask. 

“I think so!” your father exclaims just as the front passenger’s window rolls down and Kirishima’s mother sticks her head out and waves. 

As they park, your mother immediately abandons her luggage to talk to Kirishima’s mother. 

You shake your head at her, and your father laughs before going to greet Kirishima’s father. 

You grab your luggage and your mother’s, beginning to roll them to the back of the van, when a voice says your name. 

“Hey! Long time no see!”

You turn, a greeting on your lips, before you nearly bite your tongue as you look up. 

Kirishima—Kirishima does not look like the Kirishima of your memories. His hair is bright red, for one, and he’s so tall. The last time you saw him, he was shorter than you. And he’s gained so much muscle. What the actual fuck. 

Your eyes catch on his biceps, his shirt sleeves tight around them, and his veined, defined forearms. He’s in loose jeans, but something tells you his lower half is just as fit as his upper. 

The only familiar thing about him is that smile of his—bright, warm, genuine. It helps you get yourself out of your head. 

Knock it off, you tell yourself. Don’t make it weird. 

“Hey—Kirishima. It’s good to see you,” you say, returning his smile. 

His smile fades, replaced with confusion. 

“Kirishima?” he repeats. “What happened to ‘Eiji’?”

You shuffle your feet, flustered. “We were kids when I called you that! And it’s been so long, I don’t know. It felt weird to be so informal after all this time. Sorry. This is awkward.”

He touches your shoulder. You look up at him. 

“Don’t be sorry,” he tells you. “Call me whatever you’re comfortable calling me. But I do miss hearing someone call me ‘Eiji.’”

He gives you some exaggerated puppy dog eyes, and you laugh. 

“Okay, okay. Let’s start with Eijirou first and work our way to it.”

“Sounds good to me!” he says, smile back in place. When you reach for your luggage again, he steps forward and gently takes them from you. 

“I got this! Feel free to get in the van. I’m sitting in the back if you wanna sit next to me. I’m pretty sure your parents called dibs on the middle seats so they can talk to my parents.”

“You sure? My mom and I don’t pack light…”

You trail off as you watch him pick up both of your luggages as if they’re five-pound dumbbells. 

“Nevermind!” you say, laughing. “Thank you.”

As you accept your drink from the bartender, you catch sight of a familiar face from the corner of your eye. You hurriedly turn to the side.

Please don’t notice me, please don’t notice me, you chant in your head just as you hear your name being called. You work hard not to wince before turning, a smile pasted onto your face. 

“What a coincidence, bumping into you here!” Kaji, a fellow professor at the university you teach at, exclaims. Of all the people to bump into. 

“Yes, what a coincidence,” you say weakly. 

“Are you also here on vacation?” he asks, putting a hand on the counter close to yours. One of his fingers brushes yours. He smiles at you. 

“Yes,” you say, surreptitiously moving your hand to stir your drink. “I’m here with my family.”

“That’s great! I heard that you worked hard this past term. You deserve the break.” 

“Oh!” You soften a little. “Thanks so much. That’s very nice of you to say.” 

Maybe you’re worrying over nothing. When he’d flirted with you at the beginning of the last term, at one of the student orientation events, you had to be heavy-handed about shutting him down while balancing being cordial because of your new faculty status and his seniority. Maybe he took the hint and moved on. He’s just being nice. 

You set your drink down and smile, trying to relax. “What about you? How’d this year go for you?”

He leans against the counter. “It went well, as usual! You’ll see. The more years you put into teaching, the easier it gets. Once you establish the material you need for each class, you’re set. Just recycle it every year.”

Humming noncommittally, you cross your arms over your chest. You catch his eyes dropping down, and you become suddenly conscious of the amount of skin you’re showing in your swimsuit. You quickly readjust your arms so that they cover up more skin. 

“That makes sense. It means you only have to update your material every so often, so less prep time.”

Kaji snorts. “You’ll learn. You untenured faculty won’t have time to update anything if you ever wanna climb the ladder.”

You just barely manage to stifle your frown. His condescension is really grating. 

Laughing, Kaji waves a hand. “Enough about work, though. What are your plans for tonight? Tomorrow?”

Dread creeps up your spine. Fuck. Maybe he’s just being friendly. 

“Oh, just going to have dinner with the family,” you say. “Then we’re going to take a tour of the museum tomorrow, sight-see a little.” 

“Hmm,” he says. “What about tomorrow night? You can’t spend the entire day with your family, surely. Let’s have dinner together. I’ve been meaning to get to know you better.”

Fuuuuuuck, he really did not take the hint. Can he not read the room? You’re afraid to offend him, though, because although he isn’t in your department, so many of your colleagues are on friendly terms with him. You’re just starting out; you can’t afford to sour any relationships right now. 

“Oh, I—thank you, but—“

In your peripheral, you catch a glimpse of red. 

It’s Kirishima, looking around, scanning the area. You wonder if he’s looking for you; you really have been gone longer than you intended.  

Your eyes meet, and an absolutely ridiculous, desperate idea develops in your mind in an instant. 

“Eiji! Over here!” you call, waving at him. 

Kirishima perks up at the sound of your voice, so like a puppy, that the smile that comes to your lips is as natural as anything. He strides over to the poolside bar where you and Kaji are standing. 

When Kirishima reaches you, you lean into him, looking up into his face. His eyes are a little wide as they gaze down at you, and you give him a pleading look, hoping he doesn’t react negatively, hoping he catches on quickly. 

“Kaji, this is my boyfriend, Kirishima Eijirou. Eiji, this is Kaji Katsuyuki, a professor at the university I teach at,” you say.

Since he’s pressed all along your side, you feel it when Kirishima startles a bit. Anxiety swells in you. As you begin to panic about how the hell you’re going to smooth this situation over, distantly, you hear Kaji’s voice as he greets Kirishima. Kirishima, after a little delay, says hello back.

“I thought you said you were here with your family,” Kaji says to you, tone clipped.

To your surprise, Kirishima wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you close. His hand settles on your hip. Squeezes. It completely halts your racing thoughts. 

Instead, you’re endlessly aware of him. He’s so warm, radiating body heat like he’s absorbed all of the sun’s rays. The feel of your bare skin against his is addicting; you just want to soak him in. 

“We’re here with both of our families!” Kirishima says, smiling. “It’s a joint vacation. Right, babe?” 

“Right,” you say after a moment, trying to rein in your body’s reaction to the pet name. You like it a little too much. 

“I see,” Kaji says. “Well, I won’t keep you. It was nice chatting with you, and good to meet you, Kirishima.”

“You too,” Kirishima says cheerfully, and you say your goodbyes as Kaji beats a hasty retreat. 

There’s a long silence between the two of you that feels impossible to break before Kirishima says, “Did I do good?”

This startles a laugh out of you, and you relax, shoulders lowering. Looking up at him doesn’t feel as intimidating, so you do to find him smiling down at you. 

“You did great, Eiji, thank you. I’m sorry I sprung that on you. He was just being so pushy!”

Kirishima shakes his head. “I don’t mind! Anything for you.”

[sgtmickeyslaughter]

46 + 67 for the trope mashup please? 💖

Is there anything more ooey gooey than a sick fic?

46 Sick!Fic/Injury + 67 Casual Intimacy/Physical Comfort

“You didn’t get enough milk as a kid,” Mickey pointed it out. “Your sister always watered that shit down.”

“Is that right, Mickey Milk?” Ian asked teasingly through the pain meds as the nurse wrapped his arm up in the hardening cast.

Mickey nodded with his eyebrows raised and his lower lip pinched with two front teeth. Ian was just glad he was back to teasing, he’d been a nervous wreck from the second Ian had cried out in pain, and nearly fainted at the sight of bone where it was sticking out from under Ian’s skin. 

Ian learned a long time ago that Mickey could go a little batshit when it came to protecting his nest, and Ian was a very big part of his nest. He’d already talked to Mickey about not being a total fucking dick to the nurses, because his husband was an asshole and Ian had to have surgery to reset his arm so naturally Mickey was a bit well, high strung.

“Why’d you have to break your right arm, man?” Mickey whined once they got back to the truck, annoyance not shown in the gentle way he was buckling the seat belt around Ian’s sling. “I’m going to be wiping your ass for weeks.”

“You’re not going to be wiping my ass,” Ian said indignantly. “I mean, I’ll need a little help-”

“Ian, I’m joking obviously. That’s the whole point of having a husband, when I become a demented fuck from all the headshots I’ve taken over the years you’ll be there to remind me who the hell I am. We do need to stop by to show Franny that you’re alive because she’s flipping her shit right now, she thinks it’s her fault.”

Ian sighed but agreed, stopping by the house for a couple of minutes so that Franny could see that he was mostly completely fine. 

It fucking hurt, his arm really fucking hurt and he didn’t want to keep taking the pain meds. Thirty somethings don’t usually break their arms climbing trees so the world isn’t really built around accommodating him, luckily his husband is a beast with bark and bite and extreme care. 

His sixth sense when it came to Ian was almost creepy sometimes. After the first week, Ian stopped gloating over the royal treatment Mickey needed to give him. It was funny at first, but he was soon slightly annoyed and embarrassed about being washed, fed, and dressed because all he had was his stupid, useless left hand. 

And he felt like he was all stupid, unless left hand. So he didn’t want to let on when his arm was killing him, or when he was getting annoyed by the coddling, and yet somehow Mickey knew. He’d sling an arm around Ian while they were watching movies and dig his thumb into the joint between his shoulder and arm, saying nothing until the tension dissipated. Then he’d get up and claim to be in desperate need for peanut M&Ms, leaving Ian alone in the apartment for a few minutes while he ran to the corner store. 

By the time he got back, all the frustration and humiliation of the day seemed to have melted away and they could try to throw candy into each other mouths from opposite ends of the couch. 

The day Ian got the cast off was as massive relief, they were both so excited for Ian to be able to use his fucking hands again, Mickey watched excitedly as they took the saw to his disgusting off white cast, even leaning in and letting out an theatrical eww at the sight of his dirty, shriveled limb. 

That night when they got home Ian announced that he was overdo for a shower, stripping down and staring expectantly at Mickey. 

Mickey raised his eyebrows, staring back at his husband. 

“Aren’t you coming?” Ian asked curiously. 

“I thought you’d want to maybe, I don’t know, wash your own hair since you’re been bitching for the last week.”

“Well,” Ian said slightly huffy. “I liked it when you washed my hair, maybe I just wanted the option to do it myself.”

Mickey shook his head with an indulgent smile, stripping his shirt off and throwing it playfully at his husbands face on his way to the bathroom.  

Hope you enjoyed :)

Destiel Fic Recs

Some more recs for your reading pleasure. This one is AU heavy, so enjoy the feast if that's what you crave.

First Response to Love by Briston and Whitster_lizzy @whitster-lizzy (Explicit, 98k)

This crack taken seriously rom com is an absolute delight. You will be giggling the entire time at this one.

Cas is stuck in a dead end reporter job at a failing station in the unfortunately or hilariously (depending on your level of middle school humor) named town of Uranus.

When Cas' cat gets stuck in a tree, his panicked call results in the fire department (and half of emergency services) showing up - including his wet-dream-slash-crush Dean Winchester. He recognizes Dean from a charity calendar, and he may be just a smidge obsessed with him. Like owns a bunch of merch with his picture obsessed. But what he doesn’t know is Dean also has a massive crush on Castiel. Like an embarrassing, watch DVR recordings of the man over and over crush. Dean manages to get it together enough to ask Cas to report on a public safety measure and what follows is a very public and adorable courtship that just might save the station.

Expect mutual disaster idiots, lots and lots of humor and a delightful cast of residents. But also this fic has an underlying softness that will have you unable to put it down. Also, a developing friendship between Balthazar, Gabriel and Crowley that is the best thing that has happened to me personally in a long time.

Seriously, it's a delight.

Linden by fleeceframe @tasteslikevelvet (Explicit, 76k)

Look, fleeceframe has this incredible ability to write gorgeous, gentle stories that take apart your heart like a 500 piece puzzle and put it back together. This one is both particularly soft and particularly beautiful.

A fairytale AU, this tells the story of Cas, a shy and lonely honey merchant who falls in love with one of the Swans, local celebrities, who as a result of a curse, turn into swans. There are wings. There is gorgeous worldbuilding. But most importantly, there is just this gorgeous love story between two very lonely men who feel invisible.

They don't just accept each other, they cherish each other. It’s gorgeous.

The Handyman's Special by Carrieosity @carrieosity (Explicit, 51k)

If you want a good laugh, this is the fic for you. I was cracking up the ENTIRE time.

Dean, a professor with minimal construction experience and a shoddy home inspection, buys a fixer upper that's more like a money pit. But he can’t face the "I told you so" from Sam, so he hires a contractor in secret. And then to keep that secret, he lies and says the contractor, Cas, is his boyfriend.

What follows is a disaster-Dean rom com with a lot of heart. The angst never gets too angsty. It's fun and sweet and hilarious.

Too Hot To Hunt by Englandwouldfall (Teen, 19k)

A canon fix-it case fic that reverses the fuck or die trope. Dean and Cas encounter a monster that attacks couples during intimacy. Which means two things: 1. Dean has to reveal to his brother that he and Cas have been an item since he came back, and 2. Dean and Cas may have to use their words instead of hiding behind sexual intimacy. So that’s not awkward at all.

This one is just immensely satisfying, digging into all of the things that make Dean and Cas so bad at communicating. It's soft, awkward, and mildly angsty in the best way.

Jurassicatural by anyrei and queerwerewolf @anyreiart @queerwerewolf @the-real-anywolf (Explicit, 34k)

A delightful mashup of Jurassic Park and SPN, this one is just really fun. Chuck Shurley had created a new theme park for long extinct monsters, but his investors have one requirement before opening: sign-off from experts on the creatures.

Enter the Winchester brothers, a Paleontologist and Paleobotanist, and Dr. Cas Novak, Historian. But life finds a way and so does trouble.

In addition to just being fun, this one features an instant obsession between Destiel that is really fun to watch, a delightfully moody Claire, a sunny Jack and some really fun monsters.

Fata morgana by orange_crushed (Teen, 6.6k)

This is a short read but woof. It really packs a punch. A canon adjacent story in Hell told from the perspective of Bela Talbot, it's the kind of fic that will make you want to munch on the shower door.

There's an angel in Hell and Bela is going to find him. The angel? Cas seeking out Dean, the King of Hell.

This one plays with the lore in an extremely satisfying way. It's justice for Bela, though not in a saccharine sweet way, and also some really lovely Cas stuff.

A Demon Like Him by EllenOfOz @ellen-of-oz (Explicit, 24k)

If you are looking for some fun worldbuilding, this fic has you. Set in a world powered by magic, Dean is on the cusp of graduating and becoming a warlock. It's everything his father has ever wanted…and now he has to admit nothing he actually wants. Dean is determined to fail the final exam - to summon and bind himself to a demon - so that he can finally be free. Unfortunately for Dean, he fails at failing and instead summons an incubus, Castiel.

This one has some gorgeous nods to canon and it's simply a fun, sizzling read. The angst isn't too angsty. Cas is basically a sex God. It’s good, dirty fun. On top of that, Dean and Cas have some absolutely gorgeous soft moments.

Dark Side of the Moon by imogenbynight @thevioletcaptain (Mature, 37k)

An astronaut AU similar in some aspects to the Martian: after Dean's crew is killed in an accident on the moon, he's left alone and traumatized. Cas volunteers to help retrieve him, but can they make it in time and what will they find when they get there?

This one has a nice balance of horror elements, trauma, and humor. It also has just really likeable cast of characters. Even though you know it will all end well, there are some delightfully tense moments and the immediate bond between Cas and Dean is a delight.

hey! my prompt is survival/wilderness fic and the big damn kiss <3

hello!! oh i love this.

i'm imagining them stuck somewhere in like a rainy forest, and they're dirty and hungry and crabby and their magic doesn't work for some reason. they can't stop fighting, of course, and they go to sleep wet and angry with each other. and then harry wakes up in the morning and finds that draco has constructed the worst stick shelter above him to try to shield him from the rain. and he's grumbling about it and a stiff breeze could knock it over, he can't stop complaining about splinters. but he started the shelter on harry's side of their sleeping spot, and he's draped his good cloak over harry while he slept—only because draco was getting overheated from all his physical labor, of course. so then of course harry just has to get up and sweep him into a kiss. they knock down the stupid shelter and wind up snogging in a pile of wet sticks, and even though it's not one of the driest kisses harry's ever had—even relatively speaking—it's still one of the best.

for the trope mashup, how about 53 and 94 for Sorikai?

send me 2 AUs and a ship and I'll write a short fic

(Mutual Pining + Hair Brushing/Braiding)

Growing up on the islands, they naturally learned to swim almost before they could walk. Floating and splashing in the gentle waves is second nature to them: keeping them healthy, helping them relax, a constant way to play. Kairi has never thought too much about it, so she's very interested in the boys' stories of worlds where a trip to the ocean is a novel and awe-inspiring thing, or something only to be dreamed about.

"So you're telling me," she says, running her fingers through the heavy, sea-kissed sand, "that it's all sand? Just...as far as you can see, sand?"

"Well, there is one bit of fresh water and trees," Sora says, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "They call it an oasis, and they built the city next to it. Jasmine says that that's usually how building cities in the desert go. I got to try some of the fruit that they grow: apples, melons...this thing called dragon fruit?"

Kairi smiles. Both he and Riku have talked so much about what they've seen in other worlds already, and yet it always seems like they have something new to say about all of them.

(And then there's you, a voice at the back of her mind sneers, with nothing but a void and a memory that crumbles in your hand the instant you touch it.

She shakes the voice away. With Sora at her right hand and Riku at her left, it's not hard to do. Resentment has never come easily to her, anyway.)

"I've got to take you there to try some too! In fact, I think you and Aladdin and Jasmine would get along really well!"

Sora stands up straight, arms crossed behind his head, grinning — had his grin always been so...dazzling? Her heart's never jumped at him before, she's sure.

"Yeah, still not sure I believe you," Riku says, barely holding back a smirk as he tosses a stray starfish into the waves before it can dry out in the sun. "About as much as I believe you swam with mermaids once."

"Not once! Twice!" Sora protests. "You wouldn't believe it, I had fins like a dolphin and I — !"

On impulse, Sora bolts into the water, certainly diving into an incoming wave like a dolphin, and attempting to imitate the animal's way of swimming: kicking strongly and only with the back legs, but quickly sinking in the process.

"Don't laugh!" Sora calls back to her and Riku, even as he's trying and failing not to giggle himself. "I mean it!"

"We believe you, Sora!" Kairi manages, covering her mouth, though she's not sure what good it does: it's very clear what she's doing.

"Wait a minute 'til we're in, then show us!" Riku adds, kicking off his sandals. He tenses to run for the water himself, but Kairi quickly stands and grabs his arm.

"Hold on! Let me braid your hair!"

Riku blinks. "Huh?"

"Now that you've got such long hair..." She reaches out and flops a lock of it, where it hangs down past his shoulders, surprising herself. "It'll get so tangled if we swim for too long. Let me braid it?"

"Oh..." Riku's face lights up. "Yeah, of course!"

He sits back down on the sand, cross-legged, waiting for her. She kneels behind him and, with only a moment's hesitation, takes his newly thick tresses of hair into her hands. Turning them over each other, she marvels at how soft it still is, and wonders why he decided to let it grow out. As kids, he'd always kept it short, he'd never liked it in his eyes. Neither had Sora, but his hair always seemed to grow up and out instead of down.

"Hey!" Kairi almost jumps; she hadn't noticed Sora emerging from the water, until she felt his fingers run through her own hair. (When did they become so calloused? The wooden swords never did that, but the Keyblade must be harsh on their hands.) He draws something out of her hair, something she hadn't even noticed. "Wind blew a little flower into your hair, Kairi!"

She looks at the little plant he's absently twirling between finger and thumb — bright blue, with dark green in the center and on the edges of the petals. Where did it blow in from, she wonders? The same place as her? Have either of them seen it, then, the place where she was born?

Sora's about to toss it back into the sea, to find a new home on the waves, until she takes his wrist. "No, actually...it probably looked better there, didn't it?"

He gives her a puzzled look, but then a moment later his face breaks into the grin she loves so much. "I'll tie it in for you, then!"

Without missing a beat, Sora kneels down in the sand behind her, his hands warm and soft in her hair the way she hopes hers are in Riku's. They work fast: they're island kids, they always have. They look out for themselves and each other, because no one else is going to, out here in the vast and endless ocean.

"Done!" Sora and Kairi both say at the same time, and Riku rises to his feet before either of them, his new braid hanging down between his shoulder blades.

"So? How do you like it?" Kairi asks.

Riku shifts his weight from side to side, tossing his head like a curious dog, and smiles. "Love it! But I think you look just a bit nicer."

"Oh?" Kairi blinks in surprise, hand going to the flower stem safely wound into her hair...but then again, is he looking at the flower or her face?

Meanwhile, Sora's eyes are delightedly flicking between both of them. "Well, I think you're both perfect!"

He's looked at them like that a lot, lately, as if he never thought he would see them again. Not as if she doesn't understand: she's caught herself staring like that since they got home, too.

It's almost unbelievable how much things have changed since they thought they could cross the ocean on their own aboard a raft...and even more so what doesn't necessarily have to.

She's the first to jump up from the sand this time; much as Riku liked to lead, they always have taken that in turns. "Race you to the sandbar!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she can see that they both look momentarily startled, but that doesn't stop them from jumping to follow at her heels, grinning. Like fruit is sweeter when shared, somehow, the hot sand is cooler and the rumbling waves they dive under not quite so big, that the ones she loves the most are back by her sides.

It's strange: being with them in the waters of Destiny Islands should be the easiest, most familiar thing in the world. But something is...different. It's not enough to say she wants Sora and Riku there with her; she always has. It's just...new. And Kairi isn't sure she has the words for it.

Do they feel the same way, she wonders? She thinks she should be able to tell...but then again they've both always been so confident.

A good thing they were raised to handle the ocean currents, when to go with them and when to pull out of them. Far from trying to push into the lead the way they would have done just a couple years ago, now all three of them are trying to stay close to each other. She knows right away that she prefers it.

Sora's warm skin brushes against her arm, and the stem of his flower is still tightly wound into her hair. Riku's eyes gleam as he propels himself over a wave, a strip of seaweed catching on the end of his long braid. Kairi smiles, sea foam catching the side of her face: she couldn't ask for anything more than this.

When she finally holds a Keyblade in her hand, she'll fight just as hard as Sora and Riku to protect it.
