OMG OMG OKAY I HAVE AN IDEA THING!
So like I’m so deep in denial abt the ending of the hobbit, imagine this:
What if The Hobbit is just a D&D game and the company are just modern (young?) adults doing a campaign which is the Quest of Erebor which is basically what happens in the films.
I may do a fic of this, like it cuts between the campaign and their real life’s and stuff. Although I still have the fix-it fic to do so yeah. But if people want me to do this I’ll do it :)

Ohhhh would you ever write more about the witch reader x az. I loved it! I want to see feyres reaction :)
I might! I think I'd be open to making it like a series/au bc witch reader x Az makes me so soft 🥰 and I'm currently obsessed with the song that inspired it bc the song is so beautiful and whimsical and makes me wish I could experience a love like that
if you haven't read the original imagine, you can find it here.
here is a small drabble of feyre's reaction 😊 :
When you and Azriel return to the river house, Feyre is in the sitting room. She's lightly bouncing an agitated Nyx, who teethes at a cool wash cloth. "I know, baby," she coos at the infant.
Her blue-gray eyes are on you as soon as you enter and they light up when she notices Azriel's hands are ungloved and one of them is holding on to yours, fingers intertwined with another.
"How was the trip?" She asks, her lips curling up into a knowing smile.
"It was fine."
"She almost cursed Eris."
You're turning to Azriel with a playful glare and his wings twitch in response, his usual stoic demeanor now much lighter and Feyre knows it's all because of you. "It could've been a nice little hex that'd make his eyebrows fall off, you know. Just something to get him off his high horse."
Feyre laughs at the image that comes to mind. "I hope Eris didn't give you much trouble?"
"He shot an arrow through Azriel's hand."
"No."
You and Azriel exchange another look, missing the way Feyre's eyes grew distant for a brief moment.
**
They're holding hands! Feyre nearly screams into Rhysand's mind and he can feel all her excitement and joy through the bond.
He's sitting outside by one of the tables in their garden with Cassian and Mor on either side of him. If it were up to him, he'd be inside by his wife. But it was her who had kicked him outside, not wanting to overwhelm Azriel and you. "Out you busybodies!" She had exclaimed as she ushered them all out of the house.
"Hey, Cas," he grins. "You owe me twenty coins."
Cassian nearly spits out his lemonade. "What?" He sputters with wide eyes. Mor leans forward in her seat.
Rhysand then shows them the image Feyre had send him. It's of you and Azriel bickering and fussing over one another like an old married couple.
"Let's just call it even." Cassian insists, setting his cup down. "I am the one who got rid of all the dandelion root from her apothecary shop."
"Hey! Don't take all the credit. I am the one who kept her distracted!" Mor cuts in, dramatically throwing her hands in the air. "And also the one who kept Azriel from suspecting anything when Feyre had asked for an escort. Do you know how hard it is to sneak things around those two?"
"Thank you, Mor. Your hard work is much appreciated here," Rhysand says, his grin growing wider as he rises from his seat, knowing it'd only irritate Cassian further.
He catches the glare Cassian sends his way. "20 coins," Rhysand reminds him, holding his hand out expectantly.
"In a way," Cassian begins, not wanting to accept his loss. "I helped you win the bet!"
"That's not my problem." Rhysand replies with a smug shrug.
Cassian grumbles and digs into his pocket. He throws all twenty coins at Rhysand's face, who easily intercepts them with a wave of his hand. They fall gracefully into the palm of his hand instead.
Mor laughs as she also rises from her seat. Twenty coins is nothing to them. It's barely enough to buy a cheap bottle of wine.
Cassian follows shortly after, the three of them scurrying inside and wanting to catch a glimpse of you and Azriel holding hands in person. Although, they find you nestled on the couch with baby Nyx in your lap. You rub the elixir you had made earlier over Nyx's gums, smiling when you feel the babe relax in your arms, as you tell Feyre all about your venture earlier.
Azriel is seated on the armest of the couch right next to you, cutting into your story when he deems necessary. Everyone takes note of the way his hand is resting on the small of your back and one of his wings instinctively curls around your smaller form. They also take note of the lingering scent of your bond in the air, stronger now that you both have acknowledged the bond. Cedar and lavender.
**
a/n: I considered the whole Nyx being in pain to be a lie, a glamor made by Feyre to trick reader into having to go scavenge for dandelion root but decided it was better to just have Cassian and Mor be sneaky instead :)

you and me were raised in the same part of town by @wolfiemcwolferson | rated M | 11.6k words | tumblr post here
A story of two best friends told through the years in the setting of Charles' childhood treehouse.
damage, destruction by @pinkierre | rated T | 6.7k words | tumblr post here
Pierre Gasly doesn’t win the 2016 GP2 title, and thus he stays in the category for another year with Prema. He’s joined for the 2017 F2 season by his long time best friend and fresh GP3 champion Charles Leclerc. What starts as a dream come true, quickly turns into a nightmare. Fast forward 8 years later and they’re teammates again. At Ferrari F1 team. However this time, they hate each other. How will they cope?
Chasing What’s on the Other Side by @espithewarlock | rated E | 15.8k words | tumblr post here
A Mafia AU where Pierre is immediately obsessed with Charles, the newly-introduced romantic partner of his biggest rival, Carlos. He begins dangerously pursuing Charles, they fall into bed together, and his obsession only gets more real the more he learns about Charles’ history. Meanwhile, Pierre is also trying to keep his business running and figure out exactly what his rivals are plotting. There’s something simmering, and he does not like having a target on his back.
model behaviour by @your-littlesecret | rated T | 8k words
Charles isn't sure what he should be doing here - he is not proud to admit he completely zoned out as Camille was explaining - but the gorgeous guy is just standing there and Charles says fuck it and walks to him, extending a hand. "Hi" "Hello. I am Pierre." His smile is almost blinding and Charles feels like he's never seen someone as beautiful in his whole life - which is very fitting, considering he is a model.
change my mind by @chaesonghwas | rated M | 31.8k words | tumblr post here
When Lance drags him to a Drama Club meeting, Pierre doesn't expect to stay for long, but he meets Charles, brother to one of his fraternity's new pledges, and he decide to give it a chance. After all, Charles seems interested in him too - what could go wrong?
Stop the World I Wanna Get Off With You by @crimsonicarus | rated T | 2k words
It was easy with Charles, talking, spending time, being silent. It felt natural, like breathing. Laughing at his awful jokes came from his mouth effortlessly, like another mother tongue.
five january seconds by @fenesacha | rated E | 8.9k words
Charles' phone is on the counter between them, and Pierre reaches out to tap the screen, waking the device up. He spares one second to look at Charles’ new background, a photo of the two of them in their Christmas jumpers, before he glances at the date. There, not changing no matter how many times he blinks: Tuesday, 2 January. What the fuck.
falling Inn love (five years later) by @gaslybottoms | rated T | 17.5k words 
“American style holiday inn,” Lando reads from the description, squinting at the small font on the screen. “Family owned and run for the last three generations, the All Pine Inn is located deep in the heart of the South Downs, with picturesque views over the rolling hills of the local area. A step back from city life, the local village is a peaceful respite away from the busy day to day. See Charles, it seems perfect." OR Charles takes a trip to the country for the Christmas holidays, and rekindles an old almost romance along the way.
All The Pebbles Along The Way by @shankyspork | rated M | 17k words
Centering around friendship and grief, this fic takes the slow road through life and its meaningful moments, hoping to bring you to the conclusion that belonging is something innate.
all I ever wanted by @golden-fairylights | Not Rated | 8.4k words
When Charles received the email that Prince Pierre would attend his vernissage, he didn't know that by the end of the night, he would have found his soulmate.
Anything you can do, I can do better by @whatdidwejustdo | rated T | 2k words
In which Pierre and Charles are insufferably competitive mechanics for rival F1 teams (Red Bull vs Ferrari) and their friends (Carlos, Alex, and Yuki) suffer. Endless snark, friendship, and references to decades of F1 lore. Or:  "Well.” Pierre’s eyes were sharp and blue. "Have you ever re-assembled Max Verstappen's car in twenty minutes when it was supposed to take forty, and watched him put together a hot lap in the dying seconds of Q2 to make it into Q3 and take pole?" 
let's be what we are by @hourcat | rated E | 46.1k words | tumblr post here
Some weekends go better than others, and the only time Charles sees his best friend is at the post-race afterparties that the bigger teams throw. They’ll clink bottles of gross tasting beer and chat with one of the other drivers relegated off to the side this season, and it feels like they’re the karting kids again. Some weekends, though, Pierre is draped along Charles’ back, all but welded together after an early spin-out ended his day, and Pierre will give him what he needs—what they need. (or: pierre, charles, and the consequences of a lifetime of touch.)
Can I just be in my head with you? by @chipsandnuggets | rated T | 7k words
"Pierrot,” he mumbles without thinking, while he separates for a moment from Pierre, but still keeps some closeness. “Can I have you? At least in my head? Can I have you like this, every time I want, in my head?”  5 times Pierre and Charles desire something plus one they finally do something about it.
Le Cheval Cabré by @moonlight0starlighte | rated G | 24.3k words
Charles, a tortured Michelin star chef, returns home for his father’s passing and discovers the family restaurant has been left to him. Though his grief feels stifling at times, Pierre, his oldest friend, is the light that guides him through it all.
Job 37:6 by @mysticalbreadcollective | rated E | 8.3k words 
Maybe he can pass it off as a drunken hookup. A one-time thing. They can both forget it ever happened and move on. Pierre doesn’t need to remember Charles whining and panting beneath him. He can bury it down with the piece of his heart that Charles owns always.
take my hand (put yours over my heart) by @duquesademiel | rated T | 37.7k words | tumblr post here
Pierre Gasly has been declared Public Enemy Number One after breaking Charles’ best friend’s heart. Which, honestly, makes working in their charity work together just a little bit too awkward. A Christmas box, a lot of charity work, football matches and flower crowns might change Pierre’s status in Charles’ books - with a little dash of fake dating, of course.
hearts in the byline by @ilspredestinato | rated M | 25.6k words | tumblr post here
“You know,” Frédéric’s hands are crossed in front of him, fingertips tightening after every pause, “there is only one thing that brings stability to a Kingdom without it being a marriage.” Charles draws in a sharp breath—he knows, nodding almost imperceptibly once Frédéric falls into a hesitant silence. A courtship.
The Defenders by @justahappycloud | rated G | 30k words | tumblr post here
You showed me colours I can't see with anyone else by @radiocheck | rated E | 9.5k words | tumblr post here
Metropolis, a city for all kinds of people: good people, bad people, and people with special abilities. Pierre, alias Blue Arrow, considers himself a special person. With the ability to fly like a bird and bend the toughest of materials at his will, he has decided to use these gifts to protect the city he loves. But what happens when a new threat arises that could destroy everything he'd ever loved? To prevent this, Pierre joins a group of other three heroes and an unlikely ally so that they can maybe, hopefully, save Metropolis from the claws of this new powerful villain.
“I really thought you didn’t like me, you know,” Pierre muses. “You were always so… defensive.” Charles smiles thoughtfully. There are small dimples in his cheeks and his hair falls softly over his forehead as he glances down at the table before replying. “It was never that. I think I was afraid I would like you too much, if I let myself.” In which Pierre falls for his roommate's best friend, Lando is never where he's supposed to be, and Charles is a dream in technicolour.
show me who made you walk all the way here by @yukierres | rated M | 36.5k words | tumblr post here
Pierre is being blackmailed by a former lover into coming out, but risks losing his seat at Ferrari if he does. Charles is a prince who is forbidden from coming out until he has a long-term partner. The solution seems so obvious. Pretending shouldn't be that hard, right? Right?
still waking every morning (but it's not with you) by @river-ocean | rated T | 6.5k words
Charles loves being an actor. It’s what he has always felt was born to do. But he hates that it means that he has to spend so many days of the year away from the people he loves the most. He hates that even though he technically lives with his boyfriend, he is still in a de facto long-distance relationship most of the time.
anything, everything by @leclercenjoyer | rated E | 5.8k words | tumblr post here 
Pierre and Charles go on a ski trip together, and things don't exactly go as planned. (Or do they?)
They Will Never Know by @effervescentdragon | rated M | 35.3k words | tumblr post here
Most stories are about blood. This story is not an exception. Charles disappeared. As for Pierre, well. Pierre had a very big secret.
Point Non Plus by @boxboxbrioche | rated E | 22.7k words | tumblr post here
brought to Point Non Plus idiom, commonly used in the Regency era 1. to be brought to a situation with no other options. 2. to baffle or confuse someone to the point that they have nothing to say. or: with his reputation in ruins and his options limited, Charles receives an offer from Lord Pierre Gasly that he simply cannot refuse.
like a heart made of dynamite by @vicsy | rated E | 31k words
Maybe all these years they were coming towards each other like a car crash in slow motion. Charles just had to wait for the brakes to fail.
and i long for you to appear by @singsweetmelodies / 17.5k | rated T | tumblr post here
When now-famous actor Pierre Gasly gets himself into a bit of PR trouble, it's up to his childhood best friend to step in and save the day. Thankfully, Charles is an expert public relations manager... the only question is if he'll be able to stop his feelings getting in the way when he finally sees Pierre again after all these years.
hold me in this wild, wild world by @fenesacha & @gaslybottoms | rated T | 2k words
Cross-country skiing isn't Pierre's forte. While he managed to stay upright during their earlier outing, it's done little to shake off his aversion to the sport that Charles seems to love so much - or, rather, his aversion to winter as a whole.

I’ve wanted to do a fic like this for some time now, a ‘thank you’ letter to PAFL and its community of sorts. I’m happy I finally got around to writing it:) 
I wasn’t sure whether I should do this or not, but, hey! It might make someone feel a bit better!! Or, reading the fic will. That’s enough reason, I think, and you don’t have to read this, of course, no matter who you are.
First of all, I want to talk about PAFL a bit.
The first PAFL song I listened to was PiP. I saw its thumbnail when listening to some other music youtube, and so, I listened to it. Oh boy am I glad I did:) I remember thinking how cool it is that someone's making songs for their OCs and that people are interested in them. I could see so much love for the characters in it. I was so happy when I discovered there were more songs like that!! This was around when Comfort Zone had first come out, a week or two after at most. That was two years ago. I’ve been obsessed ever since.
I love PAFL. I genuinely love that songs haven’t been coming out much lately. Like, there’s media that comes out weekly and sucks shit. I’m glad Ferry is taking their time with this!!! Even if all we get each year is one song, that’s cool, because the community is wonderful and we also get doodles and art and now patreon stuff.. yippee yay… !!! And even if we didn’t. who the fuck caressss!!!!! I love coming up with AUs and OCs and theorizing with my friends!!! the time between songs gives us time to do all that:)
The characters are so charming. Every member of the cast has been a fave of mine at some point or another. They’re all so, real! I love them! I love how they fuck up and I love how they get fucked over and I love how they get exploded and killed and shot and hugged and saved and helped!!! They’re human… might not make sense, but i rlly do like them…
It’s so neat looking back at older songs and seeing how stuff’s changed. The art style, the music, it’s all so nice to look back on. Even if I wasn’t there for it.
And don’t even get me started on the worldbuilding..  Everyone say thank you to Boris Strugackij and Arkadij Strugackij for making roadside picnic and inspiring Ferry to make this… so lovely and neat. wonderful. I have not read it myself, but I might, just to be able to make my own pafl OCs more swagger..
So. This fic.
I can’t mention two years ago without at least mentioning my depression.
I can’t remember most of last year, speaking truthfully. Parts of 2021 are also fuzzy. Depression and anxiety are terrible, would not recommend. This feels cheesy to say, but it does get better!!! Slowly, unsteadily, it gets better!!! I don’t mean for this part of the post to be a ‘feel bad for me’ thing at all. Do not. I am safe and healthy now and I couldn’t be happier to be here right now.
Is life good now?? Sorta, but what matters to me right now is, I’m happy!!! It feels so surreal. I never thought I’d be like this. A part of me wants to be angry, to get depressed again about how I could have been happy all this time. But I won’t!!! Because then I’d spiral and forget another year, and, I don’t want that!
Which is so cool!!! I can like, fucking, do stuff now!! I can throw away the bad thoughts, embrace the good ones, encourage myself!!! I do things!!! I go outside and goddd dude that’s so good!! I go outside!!!
I’m doing stuff! I’m drawing, writing, cleaning my room, taking care of myself!!! If I didn’t stay alive to enjoy these small joys, what am I even here for?? 
And I’m alive!!! I’m here!!! I made it, I’m here, writing this on 10th november, 2023, and I’m ALIVE!!!! How cool is that??? 
And yea, the world is shitty, it sucks ass, but, my friends don’t!!!:3 and that’s more than enough for me… SHOUT OUT TO MY FRIENDS!!! I LOVE YOU DUDES!!!
Moving on:
It doesn’t feel right to say that I’m here now only to PAFL. But, what I can say is that it’s been a wonderful crutch for me!! It’s been something to focus on, something silly, but also something I can relate to, and something that inspires me to make my own stuff! I’d most likely still be here, were it not for these silly songs.. but, not sure I’d be as alive as I am now! Unsure if my heart would feel right in my chest! And I wouldn’t have met my amazing friends!!!! Everyone here is so nice.
Dima may be a bit OOC in this fic, and that's because! This fic is based on my own experiences, which, i don’t think is bad…
I could talk here forever about how it gets better. Butttt to be quite honest I don’t wanna lol. I just wanna say, Thank you! to Parties are for Losers, for being cool. 
(Though I also wanna say, don’t put Ferry on a pedestal, they’re human, we all make mistakes, all that stuff.)
Ok time to go back to my manly Sergei ways and never talk about emotions ever again. or as anya would say: FUCK IT WE BALL!!!!!

snowjanus week- day 1: literature
Tumblr media
❝ don't you let go! ❞
lotr au, based on rotk. mostly based on the movie since it's been a hot minute since I've read the book in which coriolanus and sejanus finally arrive to mount doom. the journey is finally over.. or is it?
trigger warnings: major charafter death, suicide, heavy trauma
a/n: if you've seen lotr and read the title.. you probably know what this is about fhensn
Tumblr media
“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.”
― JRR Tolkein
Tumblr media
"We've done it," Coriolanus wants to tell himself. So, so desperately. "The journey is over. We can go home."
No matter how much you say something, though, it doesn't make it true. They're only halfway done, after all. They still have to make it out of this blasted mountain and walk home. Another year or so of walking. No food or water to carry them on. The Ring will have been destroyed, sure, and the army's of Mordor will surely begin to fall, or weaken in the slightest, but that doesn't mean everything will suddenly become easy.
The only reason the Ring was destroyed was because of the horrible creature, Gollum. In a way, Coriolanus owes everything to the Hobbit. Without his guidance and obsession over the One Ring, he wouldn't have made it to Mordor so easily. It wouldn't have been destroyed.
"The Ring is mine, Sejanus." The words fell from his tongue so, so easily. What was the point of resisting anymore? It had stuck with him this long. The Ring was notorious for going from bearer to bearer, but it had yet to leave him. Maybe it was a sign– A sign that he was the next in line for the throne.
"No. No, you can't–" Sejanus sobbed. He took a heavy step forward, and then another, pleading. Coriolanus slipped the Ring onto his finger and vanished from sight. He made a beeline for the exit, only to find himself pulled back by Gollum.
The two would tumble, resulting in Coriolanus getting his index finger bitten off by Gollum in a desperate tussle for the Ring and them both tumbling over the edge of the cliff. Gollum fell into the lava below, taking the Ring with him, while Coriolanus was able to catch the ledge with his mangled hand.
He was able to tell the second the Ring was destroyed. He could feel it in his soul, he dare thought. He would've cried in relief if his life wasn't in danger. Coriolanus tried to haul himself up, reaching up with his uninjured hand. When he caught the ledge and tried to pull himself up, he slipped, only able to catch himself by luck.
I'm trapped. He thought as his hand began to slip. It's a good ending to my story, I suppose.
Coriolanus closed his eyes, bracing for the inevitable.. When a warm, familiar hand fell over his.
"Coryo! Open your eyes!"
Sejanus. Dear Sejanus. His eyes were wide with terror, blood dripping from a giant gash on the side of his head, coating his already muddied face in crimson.
"It's me, your Sejanus. Give me your hand!" Sejanus reached down, yelling over the rumbling of the mountain. It was going to erupt any second now, surely. The Ring was the one thing keeping Mordor together, and with the Ring destroyed, Mordor would follow blindly, like a soldier into battle. "Give me your hand!"
Coriolanus swallowed heavily, swinging his hand upward in a half-hearted attempt to grab his friends hand. The shaking was getting worse. His mangled hand's grip wasn't enough–
A dark thought crossed his mind.
He could let go now. He'd fulfilled his mission, destroyed the Ring and saved his home. His friends. Everything he ever stood for. The last great evil of Middle Earth had passed.
And a hero deserves to rest.
He glanced up at Sejanus with tired, tortured eyes. A gaze that once held so much life.. So much joy and love. A gaze that told a thousand stories in a second.
But now? It begged to be freed.
Sejanus lowered himself further, blindly pawing at his hand. "Come on!"
Didn't he get it? Didn't he understand? Heroes are lucky if they get to choose the ending to their tale. Coriolanus has that choice.
He was tired. Withered down to the bone. When he looked into his future, all he saw was darkness. Not the comforting darkness you get when you sleep, but the void of life.
"Don't you let go! Don't you let go!"
If only it could be that simple.
There's no other choice.
Coriolanus swung his good hand up again and managed to grasp Sejanus' hand.
Sejanus' face flooded with relief. Coriolanus gave his hand a firm squeeze.
Before letting go.
He could barely make out Sejanus' cry for him over the roar of the mountain.
When he hit the fire below, it hurt.. But only for a moment.
Then, came the darkness he had longed for.

would you be up to explain the differences between canon Henry and your headcanons for him? Fandom interpretations are always so different I never know what’s common knowledge and not lol I’m intrigued
Hello! I'm not good at explaining stuff, so excuse any mistakes I might make. I might also misinterpret canon as I am only human, and my memory can fail me at times.
Also, with my headcanons I'm going to get deeper with some events and plotpoints instead of just giving general personality analysis.
The most important thing about canon Henry - for me - is that he is possessive - in a way.
You can kind of see it reflected in Charlie, who herself is pretty possessive of her things, memories and experiences.
Henry cannot let go of things and people he lost, it's natural, but his obsession is off putting even to his loved ones. He never lets go of Charlie, the diner, or the pizzeria.
He might have left Fredbear's, but the building remains where it was, the stage still inside. The springlock suits remain, allowing William to go on with his crimes.
He moves and opens another pizzeria. He makes a robot replica of his daughter, whom he cannot love properly anymore but clings to selfishly. He makes himself believe that she is still alive, only to rage when he realised she is… not. He can be somewhat cruel in his entitlement. Negligent, distant and utterly miserable after the tragedy.
He must have known it was William who's commited the crimes, police knew, after all.
But I don't think he would ever say anything against him.
He wouldn't want to lose anyone else; anything else, after all.
In the games, though, he is equally depressed but seems almost vindicitve. Driven. Quite literally, he spends the rest of his life hunting William down, possibly not even sure if it makes any sense.
To be honest: it's even possible that he knew all along that William was alive inside the suit, that he was the one to lock him in that place for 30 years, behind a wall. Maybe he wanted him to suffer; maybe he wants to be the one to decide whether and how William is to die after what he's done.
After William gets out, Henry lures and hunts him and the others. He doesn't even care that he is hurting his daughter in the process.
He drags all the Aftons, as well as Charlie, into his big suicide mission. He cannot be sure they will pass; cannot be sure that Michael wants to. But he makes the decision for everyone.
I don't think he considers the spirits human at all - he is much more concerned with his vengeance as much as he likes to talk about setting them free (he fails, after all).
I think Henry resents the whole Afton family, using Mike as a tool.
As calculating as William, what a match.
In my own headcanons - yes, Henry's got that violent streak and low empathy - he doesn't get people.
He's big, strong and loud - can be intimidating.
He's way more social than my William, but people still fing him mostly unpleasant to be around. He is nice; a real family man, loving and trying. But he is ultimately just as awkard as his book counterpart and similarly single-minded as the game one.
Awkward around kids, distant at times, mainly concerned with things he seems to enjoy.
I imagine that Charlotte loves him a lot, and he loves her too, but as she grows up, so does the gap between them.
In my personal aus and headcanons Henry was in love with William and got his heart broken by him multiple times but clings to those feelings, and even after getting married, he cannot let go.
He and his wife get a divorce soon after having Charlie - she stays with her mother but sees him on weekends. He was supposed to have her over for a week every 2, but he is burying himself in his work.
He is overwhelmingly unhappy.
The diner and working on the animatronics brings him joy - he loves it - but he needs to deal with seeing William every day of his life, getting mixed signals and his hopes up, before being rejected again and again. Ironically, William thinks he is the one being rejected. Henry is possessive of his work (his whole life) afterall, so he excludes him, leaving him to the paperwork.
Anyways, his whole life is work, work and more work. He is much more invested in the Afton family affairs than his own, spoiling William's children as much as he does Charlie, wanting that life - wanting a big, happy family.
When he doesn't stay late at work he drinks alone at home.
He meets William outside of Freddy's at times. Sometimes, they go private. It's nice, and it hurts to be toyed with. It hurts that the man he loves seems to treat it as entertainment, from Henry's perspective at least (Later, I have to write down William's take on things).
He drinks until he knows that Charlie is coming home, and then, he tries to be fun and a good father, and he is.
But Charlie is smart and notices things.
Charlie likes William; they're very similar personality-wise.
Henry drinks more, considering what could be.
After William loses his wife and is left with the kids, Henry is ashamed because he's considered going to him, asking if they could try again.
He doesn't, instead helping with the kids, being particiularly close with Michael.
Just like Charlie is close with Will, Mike is close to Henry.
And Mike talks, and Henry sees what William is going through and what he does to the kids.
He tells William right away that he shouldn't worry about work and should focus on the kids (should not speak of her in present tense) and their well-being.
They argue.
Henry considers breaking their partnership up just to force him to actually focus on his family, he thinks William is being ungrateful, irrational.
He wishes he could punch him.
When 83' happens, it gets worse.
Everyone is off.
William's parenting gets worse. Henry feels forced into this decision. William doesn't talk to his kids, he is consumed by work, and when he isn't, he does God knows what in the privacy of his office. He makes mistakes, is messy. Smells of alcohol even at work. Snaps at clients, barely talks to Henry at all.
Henry considers breaking it all off.
Charlie dies.
Henry feels stupid for ever considering firing William - distancing himself from him - as he cries into his shoulder.
They cling to each other, and Henry thinks he knows. But who else does he have left? His ex wife, who looks at him with disgust? Whom he never felt close to at all? She blames him; Charlie died under his care, in his restaurant, and so soon after Evan's death, too!
She is right, of course.
He is disgusted as well.
When Elizabeth dies, he is sure that William is behind everything, and he confronts him but ultimately doesn't do anything with it. Doesn't tell anyone or go to police.
Only after William disappears, leaving Michael under his care, Henry grows hateful of him. Processes everything and turns bitter, vengeful.
Michael looks like William, and Henry lets him live under his roof, but they are not family anymore.
Henry drinks more - his days are a blur.
He feels pathetic and cruel, but doesn't care. Mike is in and out of the house, clearly not apprieciating his company.
He gets it, but he resents him for it.
He is just like his father.
He wants William, wants him dead, wants both William and himself dead.
He only starts caring again when, years later, Mike comes back home, no longer human, and with new information regarding his father.
It's then that Henry fully commits himself to revenge.
The rest is usually pretty similar to how game Henry functions but his obsession with William is both hatred and longing. He hopes they will burn in hell together.
Usually, in my aus, they somehow get back together: they cannot get rid of each other, but in the main thing, yeah, it ends up just like in the game. With a blaze.
In short, he is gay, sad and cannot handle human interaction. Also dependent on William to the point when he cannot function.
Sorry for the text being so long and somewhat incomprehensive. I might be wrong and I might be cringe, but I am free, and these are my takes!
Hope you enjoyed anyways.
SO
Book Henry: loving but sad, possessive/obssessive, distant and negligent. Somewhat selfish. A broken man.
Game Henry: Mad and tired, vindictive and cunning. Will do anything to fullfil his goal, willing to hurt innocent people (for example pizzeria guests) to get his revenge.
Au/Hc Henry: Depressed, dependent and angry. Cannot make a connection, something in between both book and game one with some additional spice.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡DAN HENG♡
Dan heng is like that one quiet kid that no one knows about. He'll just sit there and exist. He doesn't like to make a scene nor the attract the attention of others.
You literally cannot find him anywhere so just you settle to find his locker. It was better not to make contact with him anyways. You probably can't even talk to him straight without stuttering.
You still remember how you started to gain feelings for him.
The library was full of stressed students trying to finish their dued assignments in a hurry and you were one of them.
You stumbled across many people fighting over books that were significantly important for the given assignment which caused chaos among the large crowd of students.
You looked right-left for the same copy of the book, but to no avail.
Just as you were about to leave the library, you saw another student just like any other, except that he was casually reading the book you crucially needed.
You don't usually socialise if not necessary but this assignment could bring you extra marks for the upcoming finals. You had to.
You walked towards the student, and gently tapped his shoulder. "Excuse me..? Do you need that book? If not, I was wondering if I could borrow it for my assignment?"
Shit. You dumbass. There's no way he doesn't need it. Everyone is going cuckoo for one copy of this book. There's absolutely no wa-
"Sure. I'm already done with the assignment so you can just take it." You lit up in joy, continuously thanking him. He actually didn't finish it, he's just too polite to say no.
It was like a romance novel. From that day on, your feelings started to grow. You basically never even saw a glimpse of him around the campus.
So, on valentine's day, you decide to get him a small box of chocolates and a single rose. You don't even know if he's gonna return your feelings so you just stuck to a singular rose for precautions.
Then started the waiting game.
It was just another day for Dan heng. Classes, writing down notes, keeping a low profile and anything else that wouldn't draw attention.
You saw him walking down the hallway, so you hid behind a nearby locker and took a little peek.
When dan heng opened his locker, it was honestly very unexpected to him. Chocolates? He's never gotten any. At least not from a girl.
His expression remains stoic on the exterior but on the inside, oh he's exploding with fireworks. He never felt this. To him it was a very foreign feeling.
Dan heng was never much of a sweet tooth. But these chocolates? Oh they never looked more tempting to eat.
Slowly, hesitantly, he grabs one piece and lets it melt in his tongue. The silky, sweet flavor completely puts dan heng in a daze.
Dan heng rummages around his locker for at least a letter from this anonymous stranger who decided to use their money on chocolates for him.
He looks at the rose and sees a little tag attached on its stem.
"Consider this as a 'thank you'! <3"
He'll think about this later and maybe send this person chocolates as a 'thank you.'
Dan heng looks left and right, smiles softly and stuffs some chocolates in his mouth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡JING YUAN♡
Jing Yuan is definitely the popular kid in school. Everyone literally knows his name. Man has no enemies.
He's good at sports, good at studies, class president and has a chill personality. Who wouldn't like him?
You USED to hate him for one incident.
The class was playing volleyball, and you two were in opposite teams. Yes. The ball hit you straight in the face. And who threw that ball? Jing Yuan.
The fact that he didn't even apologize but instead started hysterically laughing infuriated you.
Because of that ball, your nose had turned red and you had to wear a bandaid for at least a month. All because of that dickhead.
But all of that changed a few weeks later.
It was just a normal day. Nothing Special. Or so that's what you thought.
Out of nowhere, the snowy locks of a person. And that person was Jing Yuan.
Fuck. You have to turn before he sees you. He's probably gonna start laughing if he sees you. He's such a jerk.
"Hey you." He called out.
You completely froze. Fuck. Is he going to mock you in front of everyone?
"Uhm about that volleyball match.. I sincerely apologise if I hurt you or anything. Please. Take this as a sorry."
He hands you a small box of chocolates and a pink bandaid to replace your boring brown one.
With that, he gives you a silly smile which leaves you astounded at his charm.
From cursing him and praying for his downfall everyday, to becoming one of his top secret no. 1 fangirl.
That day you went back home and started giggling, kicking your feet in the air and kept on replaying that memory of his charismatic yet silly smile.
No wonder why everyone likes him. Even the teachers.
The obsession got worse. When you could, you took a picture of him and started to hoard hundreds of his pictures.
You already had 2 drawers filled with his pictures. The chocolates he gave you? Oh you devoured all of them. Only the box remained. Which you treasured the most.
You even got closer to his friends to find out his address. You wouldn't stalk him THAT often. Maybe when you're passing by or when your bored.
So then you thought, why not give him chocolates and confess this Valentines? No. No no no no no.
He'll definitely not return your feelings. He has every right not to. After all, you're the one who spread most of the rumors about him being a player.
Well but it won't hurt to try right?
With that, you went on your search to find the fanciest box of chocolates. He must be rich right. That just makes it worse. Will he accept a normal box?
"How much would that be?"
"$240 per box"
"..."
You looked into your poor wallet. You froze with embarrassment when you realise you don't have enough money for the chocolates and roses.
"is there a discount by any chance?"
"No. These chocolates are premium with exotic mouth watering flavours."
"Little overboard for a small box of chocolates don't you think?- hehe.."
"Ma'am there is a line of people behind you, waiting, could you please pay already?"
"I can't afford it-"
"I'll pay for it."
You froze with shock as you heard a familiar husky voice behind you. Of course it's Jing Yuan.
"No no- No need- I'll just keep it back it's too expensive-"
"I insist."
Damn he pulled up the 'insist' move on you. I mean you weren't complaining anyways. He was basically paying for chocolates for himself.
As he checks out with his credit card, he hands you the box of chocolates with another charming grin of his.
Except, it looks genuine from that which he gives to others. You start blushing immensely, becoming a red tomato.
"Well? Are you gonna take or-?"
"It's actually for you."
You quickly say it out, looking away with shame.
He stands there in shock. He has type 2 diabetes from eating too many sweets.
But his shock soon turns into a genuine smile which would cause all the girls near him to immediately faint.
Before he says another word, you run away thinking that he would reject you.
He just stood there, a little shocked but if anyone were around him they would be able to see the faint tint of red at the top of his ears.
.•°•~μπ EXTRAS πμ~•°•.
Jing Yuan stares at the open box of chocolates in awe at the exotic bright colours of the chocolates. Is this even edible? He thought to himself.
With hesitation, he tossed it in his mouth as he didn't want it to go to waste. He soon regretted it and ran to the bathroom

did you say to ask for more harrykim hc? bc i want some more!! it can be canon or au (any of your choice) im not picky
Tumblr media
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
You're getting Canon Kim and Harry this time, but if someone sends me another (without specifying) I'll probably do Swap AU stuff!
1. It's not just Harry who's in love with Kim - it's Harry's Skills.
Whether they're something that occurred because of Pale Exposure or a symptom of something else, they're a part of him. His Skills are how he experiences the world. It's just as much them romancing Kim as it is him.
So when Harry falls in love, every Skill falls hard and fast, too. The INT Skills, particularly Logic, are taken with Kim's mind. The PSY Skills admire his dedication (to his passions, to the RCM, to his partner), and Volition is relieved that they've been drawn to such an (outwardly) stable force.
The FYS skills got it bad - Shivers sees how Kim fits into Revachol's greater puzzle like a missing piece. Electrochemistry has... a lot to say.
But the MOT Skills? Oh god. They're obsessed. Kim is cool, calm, and collected. He loves machines. Even with his eyesight, he's still a damn good shot. He's so suave. They. Want. Him. So. Bad.
At the end of the day, Kim is romancing one person in 25 parts. It's all-encompassing, and at first, it's strange. But after a time, he can't imagine being loved another way
2. Kim didn't expect Harry to stay interested in him.
Look, I can't picture Harry as anything other than a scatterbrain. It's partly because of my scatterbrained way of playing the damn game, but it's my headcanon, and I'll cry if I want to.
So, when they first met, Kim watched Harry flit around Martinaise like a speed fuelled (or until-recently-speed-fueled) bumblebee. He buzzes around, finds something, pursues it for a while, then sets it down and forgets. Kim watches Harry blow past his old partner without a word and worries that he might be in Jean's place one day.
Well, almost Jean's position. Maybe a worse one. It's not a stretch to imagine Harry getting distracted or bored of Kim. But this is the happiest he's felt in a long time, so he decides to ride it out. Take the joy where he can. He'll deal with the hurt when it comes.
But then Harry doesn't get bored of him. Instead, he wants more. And more. And more.
And then Harry stays over at Kim's place on weekends.
And they're investing in more board games. And Harry knows just the way Kim likes his coffee. And he makes dinner whenever he comes over. And, oh, Harry's lease is almost up, so he might as well move in. And he buys posters and photos to hang up. And he paints "This Is Something Beautiful" on their bedroom wall. And Kim knows he won't get his deposit back, but he doesn't fucking care.
And then it's been a year, and Harry has some of his old memories back, but mostly he's been making new ones. And anyone who matters to them knows what's happening, but no one says a word. And they don't hold hands in public, but the look Harry gives Kim lets him know how badly he wants to. 
And then it's been a few more years, and they move to a different apartment. And the heaters don't work, but that's okay because they keep each other warm in the winter. And Harry holds Kim close as they dance in the kitchen. And Kim's vision is getting worse, and Harry's got a bad heart, but they live the best lives they can. And they plan a wedding that they know they'll probably never have.
And Kim pretends he doesn't hear the city as she speaks into his heart.
And Harry pretends he doesn't hear Kim cry when he realizes they can't stop what's coming.
And then it's been so many years that their grey hairs outnumber all the others. And Harry doesn't talk about La Retour, but Kim sees how much he thinks about it. And he holds Harry's hand in public because it feels like the world is ending anyways. And the corners of Harry's eyes crinkle when he smiles, and it still makes Kim's heart swim even after so many years. And Harry still sees a halo behind Kim's head.
And they dance between detritus and rubble as an old radio plays. And they remember their kitchen. And they say the names of old friends. And far away, someone smiles and says theirs.
And La Revacholiere holds them in her broken arms and cries. And they hold her in their lungs. And they cry with her because of their loss. And they cry with her because they've survived.
And they love.
And they love.
And they love.
3. Harry has, like, big I'm A Bottom energy, right?
Right???????

Prince Nico - because you asked for it
Someone made the effort of diving in my dms for this so akdhwkhsak of course I’m gonna grant it. Since it isn’t specified whether it should be an AU or not so I’m just gonna… go with both. I guess.
Prince Nico in canon universe. This is canon. Believe me. Hades told me himself. Nico is a prince. (And also a King, but that’s another story)
Tbh I have talked too much about this lolol it’s like a religion at this point.
- Nico who has his private chamber with a five-star service, canopy-bed-and-red-carpet, the full package, all of that.
- Nico who’s favored enough to say something like “It’s okay, Dad wouldn’t do anything when it’s me”
- Nico who has full rights to sit along the Judges in the Judgment Pavilion and takes petty joy in sabotaging Minos.
- Who definitely has free-pass on Charon’s boat trips.
- He calls Nico “young Lord” because I say so.
- Nico who, unsurprisingly enough, has a fairly amicable relationship with the Furies and can give commands to his father’s closest subordinates.
- And by extension, shares his father’s punishment of listening to the ghosts’ complaining (he’s much more mild-tempered compared to Hades btw and that just encourages the ghosts further)
- Nico who has to indulge Persephone’s weekend tea parties bc that’s what royalties do also she’s bored down here
- Who falls asleep in the throne room and Hades doesn’t say anything, Persephone doesn’t say anything and so neither does anyone else. Nico can navigate his father’s palace as he wishes.
- This is just my self-indulgence but Alecto calls Nico “little one” and Thanatos goes with “little prince”. 🥺 I’m obsessed with little prince, alright?
In a royal AU. Let’s just say this is a general, typical Royal AUs as I have too many Royal AU at this point which I don’t even know what they are LMAO. Just bear with me on this ride, would you?
So, the main reasons I’m very much invested in Royal AU/ Prince Nico are that 1/ the vibes 2/ the political power.
- Every time I think of Prince Nico, it’s with the ceremonial slim-fit suits, heavy black cloak, silver fur lining, jewelry adornment, spiky crown (which levitates instead of simply resting on his head and thus looks more like a halo) and ofc, a sword on his belt.
- I could die to see him in a crown and an one-shoulder cape, drowning in fur and jewelries, srsly.
- There’re small gems in his hair. It always gleams no matter the angle. shadowed eyes with bags that make him look low-key stressed out half of the time.
- Still, perfect etiquette. Stands like a prince and walks like a prince. Perfect posture when needed (and practically lazily slouching when is relaxed/tired btw)
Now, onto my favorite part: the powers Nico could have possessed if he was to be a prince. Tbh I’m less interested with the princess-prince love story and more passionate about the political field.
- I have always pictured him as the responsible type, ngl. In a Royal AU where they’re put in position of power and duties alike, I think Nico would be the type to be fairly dedicated to his people, in the way that he believes it’s his obligation. He values the people’s trust and servitude.
- It’s become more intense when he was chosen as the heir to the throne since Zagreus, the eldest prince, left the palace for the wild (to which Bianca followed). Now, with the newly found authority, he wishes to to make everyone’s lives better.
- Works as a courtier and a member of the royal family at the same time, the first to sway Hades’ judgments. Some fears his over-powered influence, but Hades never says anything and neither does Nico.
- Always acts with his kingdom and people as the top priority. Refuses to tolerate anything that show signs of threatening the great’s benefits even when it means damaging his personal interests. Romance means little to him. And it isn’t like he’s interested in ladies and princesses alike, anw.
- Also immensely respectful and loving towards his kingdom, which means Nico would never let someone makes fun of it in front of him and live.
- Perfectly calm, collected and closed-off in public/ business. He’s good at hiding his expressions, most of the time he wears a neutral face with a slight frown.
- But would be quite extreme if need be. Kind but straight-up merciless when it comes to the wrongdoings. I’m talking the cruel, unrelenting level. And Nico’s wrath is something straight-up rivals his father.
- Distant and uptight when you’re not close enough. He keeps everyone at arm’s length even when he cares a lot for their wellbeing. If you’re business based acquainted, chances are he’s always on guard around you. Nico treats the servants decently, but he isn’t close with anyone.
- If you’re Hazel or Bianca tho, he’s a softie.
- Mingle with the peasants quite often, though anonymous and Nico prefers to keep it to himself and mostly observe instead of directly interacting.
- Understands the civilian life since that’s where he comes from. He and his sister used to live with their mother before being taken to the palace and raised as royalties.
- The coronation. God the coronation. ψ(`∇´)ψ I like to think that Hades makes it ridiculously big for Nico just because he wants to brag. And when he places the crown on Nico’s head, the moon bursts into silver and the dais made of gemstones shines brighter than gold. He ascends the throne while reveling in the night’s blessings and bathing in people’s praises and wishes.
If anything, Nico’s probably the first to ascend amongst the other royal heirs such as Percy or Jason. I suppose it’s due to Hades being the better parent in the three, and the fact that Nico is, by all means, an authentic, canonically King.
And that is why Nico the royalty is my religion.

Top five tropes that should be more popular
well. well!! okay i'm going to try to think about different tropes than my favorite tropes here to make it spicy and interesting!
5. Magic and I mean the Diana Wynne Jones kind. You keep most of the real world the same, but add just a little bit of magic in a very fun and light way. The backstage is rocked when Brian Cage is revealed to be part troll, which makes jim even more determined never to let anyone find out that he's part fae, even though it really does not give him any advantages, and in fact his only real inheritance is that he can't lie. which is fine, because he gets around it pretty well by just not saying stuff when he doesn't want to, but then there's talk of doing testing for Creatures, and well. he tells dustin.
4. daemons from HDM aus. dustin's daemon can be walter, easy. maybe jim's is somewhat small and he usually keeps her in his jacket pocket. dustin's only met her a few times even though they've lived together for a few years, and she's not that interested in socializing with walter. dustin doesn't mind so much, because that's just how jim is about some things. and then one day during a match, jim gets hurt, and his daemon leaps into dustin's arms in the next blink and hides herself in his chest.
3. Ensemble fic. I miss the art of being able to contain the full cast of characters in any one story. I love if you're reading a ship fic but you see fun cameos from other wrestlers wandering in and out of the plotline. it makes the backstage feel vibrant and so real. and maintaining the ensemble is ESPECIALLY good in an AU. if someone did a HangKenny Good Omens au, I would feel such joy in my heart if you managed to correctly sort the other wrestlers into various roles and let them contribute to the plot. I feel like i'm not being super clear about the joy of this because my brain is absolutely done broke, but it was something people used to do in bandom and it was SO fun. If you did a Mean Girls AU, it was SO fun to see how the author filled in all the OTHER background roles. tumblr user baking_soda do YOU know what I mean? do they be doing that in F1 very much? are people writing Mean Girl aus and taking the time to figure out who Kevin is? that's fun to me.
2. your self from another timeline comes to visit. this is SO hard and it's SO sexy to imagine. i'm literally obsessed with it all the time. i love thinking about like, baby!dustin at like what, 19? coming forward in time to 2022 and being like "we're FAMOUS? we're on TV?" and dustin's like "for an incredibly generous interpretation of famous and also not on tv that much." and all the things dustin hates about himself in life he can't help but hate to see in baby!dustin so he's not like...nice....to him. and he especially hates how obvious baby!dustin is about his giant crush on jim. jim just laughs and says "you're such a jerk. he's a good kid..."
1.. this is cheating because i'm using it as #1 in both "favorite" tropes and "need more of" but it's my life MOM!!! it's body betrayal!!!!! body betrayal!!!!!!! unfortunately it's my absolute kryptonite to think about ESPECIALLY ATHLETES or anyone who has a close relationship with their body and takes pride in its reflexes and strength being bowled over by a surprise. i mean, me, if i sprouted a lizard tail tomorrow, i'd be like "oh sure, this might as well happen" but i LOVE when shit happens to people who are so sure they know their body inside and out. and when you combine it with the self loathing of someone who is so sure that the thing their body is doing will cause them to be rejected forever??? that's the good stuff. please note, if you say to me: wow lea, it's interesting that you're so emotionally effected by someone discovering a hidden and horrible secret in your blorbo and your blorbo gets love and acceptance in spite of the horrible secret self. have you considered taking that to therapy? i say to you: go to superhell.

You know, I've got a few thoughts about hair in Young Royals.
Simon's hair is au naturale, he has his curls and he has them through the entire season. He never really does anything special with them, they're just there. It's very in character for him, and makes sense for his character. He's not upper class, there's no pressure on him to look presentable and fancy all the time, and hair is hair. If he wants to do something fancy, he will do it because he wants to. Sara, in contrast, starts having more interest in her hair as she tries to fit in with the popular crowd. In the beginning, we see her with it down, with it in a ponytail, it's just another part of her body that's cared for and adjusted accordingly. And then she makes friends with Felice, and we have a lot more focus on her and her hair. She wears the hairclips, she smoothes it down in the mirror. It's not her pride and joy in fitting it, she is a lot more focused on clothes than her hair, but it's a little something that shifts over the season, and she does place great value on those hairclips. Wilhelm's hair is nothing of import for most of the season, it's just there, he sometimes runs his hands through it as an anxiety thing, but most people do that. Until suddenly it's the most important thing—it's the identifying feature as him in the video. As the Hillerska students said, only they know it's Wilhelm's room. To the entire rest of the world, the only thing putting Wilhelm's name on 'that boy in the video' is his hair, and it's how they deny it. Anyone can have similar hair to the prince, it's just hair (Even though it's not like that, it is him). The symbolism/narrative/whatever we want to call it, of Felice's hair is more subtle than the others, but it's still there. She straightens it, worries about it being curly even when it's not at all, gives Sara her hairclips without a second thought because she probably has a bunch more like it. Her hair—and by default the rest of her appearance—is her pride and joy. We see a little bit of it through her mother, but as a black girl in high society, the pressure on her to look presentable is through the fucking roof, and her hair is a HUGE part of that. And that brings us to the last character whose hair has an important role in their story and being, August. And this is kinda what got me thinking about the rest of this. As we know from Malte, August's hair is super fucking insanely curly. He's got it gelled to high hell most scenes he's in. Even when he's exercising, he puts less effort into making it flat and in place, but it's still neatly styled and 'tamed'. And it's interesting to note, during the more formal moments of the show—Wilhelm arriving, parents day, Lucia—he's got it WAY more styled and gelled. It's flat, it's straight, there's not a single curl out of the place he's put it. August is obsessed with his image, in part because that's how all the nobility are raised and in part because now that he's having money issues, he has to rely on his appearance. It's everything. It's a little hard to tell with the lighting and angles, but I'm pretty sure that even during sex with Felice, he's got it gelled a little.
Idk, the hair in Young Royals is just so fascinating to me. Simon and August's hair contrasts completely—both curly, Simon couldn't care less and August couldn't care more. August and Felice's hair contrast and compare in interesting ways—they're both expected to keep up appearances, but where we can see bits of curls on the edges and they fall out of the gel during workouts, Felice has to nigh on destroy hers to keep it straight at all times. Felice and Sara's hair contrast, compare, and build up a lot of this narrative. It's all just very interesting and tbh I have probably watched this show too many times and may be reading into it a little bit too much, but idk it's just interesting.

pls pls pls do share some fic recs im still kinda new here on tumblr 🤲
Nonnie, I love you 😭 bc nothing gives me more joy than sharing fics. like when I'm not posting art I'm just here reading fics.
I recommend checking out networks (most fic blogs will have them listed on their navigation/somewhere on their blog) or their own fic rec tags. I found most fics that way but simply searching ‘fandom + genre’ yields really good results too!
I found lots of my fave fics through @ficscafe bc their themed masterlists make it easy for me to find a specific genre I want to read about (ex: ceo au or e2l) they're also multifandom so they have a good catalogue under their belt!
More fic recs under the cut!
I'm not sure what fandom you followed me for, nonnie, so I'll list something a bit more multi fandom. Atm, I'm reading tons of Seventeen fics bc that's my current obsession rn 💗
warning: most fics might containt angst! if that's not your cup of tea, still check out the writers' blogs bc they'll most likely have something that fits your reading mood 💗
@starlightxsvt ‘s storms and confessions. I love me a classic enemies to lovers office au fic and this one delivers! Especially bc I'm a bit too head over heels in love with one Joshua Hong. I remember kicking my feet into the air as I'm reading bc you can feel the progress they make in that short window and how one bad event can do an entire 180. Also the chemistry is good, you can feel it!
@viastro ’s memories that resemble you. I CRIED. This will punch you in the heart but 10x more lethal. You have to read it yourself bc I can only explain a fraction of what I felt reading it like I was full on sobbing whimpering probably cried myself to sleep with my eyes all puffed up. It's tragic but beautiful. warning: major character death
another viastro fic but what can I say, they're one of my fave writers on this site. In a span of three months. If that Chan fic I recommended above did not do it for you, this one literally broke me. I had to pause in between bc my heart was getting crushed! I think this was my first fic from them too and oh my god, was it a journey.
@solarwonux ‘s cherry and sunflower. This is a pair but read cherry first as it serves as a prequel to sunflower. On one hand you have angst, the other you have fluff. I read this when I was in the middle of sorting out feelings for my old bias and it lowkey hit so well 😭 you can never go wrong with soulmate aus too so—
@svtntntn ‘s breaking news. GRIPPING MY HEAD IN HANDS I STILL THINK ABOUT THIS FIC DAILY. I love love superhero au’s bc I had a really intense DC/Marvel/YJ phase back in the day. it's very superman homage but you know how usually superhero fics are kind of dark, this one is much lighter and has humor and it's cute and surprise, surprise! Guess who also had a big heart for Seokmin!!
@blossom-hwa ‘s breathe, and live. This is a certified classic in my recommendeds like you have to listen to me when I tell you to read this regardless if you're having a bad day or not bc this series will instantly make any day 10x brighter. You will thank me after your skin becomes healthier and you'll be glowing bc this fic saves lives! single dad!Chan is like my kryptonite and this was like super chef's kiss! and the interactions between the kids and the parents are so heartwarming like GRIPPING MY HANDS FROM THE CUTENESS!
@skzsauce01 ‘s 1000 roses. This made me so giddy aaaa hahaha thinking about it. I love dorky Chan so much. like re-reading this makes me giddy bc it's so cute 😂💗 tickles like first love but you're a theatre kid.
@crispy-chan ‘s maze of memories. one of the more longer reads but you will not regret it! Jas writes with the tension hot under your seat and I vividly remember holding my breath every update bc you'll never know what will happen next like experiencing this while it was incomplete was an absolute journey! esp bc I remember reading it over the summer and I was like 😨😰🫣 every time the maze changes also wolfgang!Chan vibes had me on a tight grip!
@decembermoonskz ‘s of letters and potions. Another fluffy Chan fic though Daffodils is one of my fave fics from Izzy's catalogue, but I recommended much angst I need to balance it with fluff. As a magic au enthusiast, this is one of my fave ones bc the letter confessions are absolutely adorable :((
last rec for this round (in case anyone asks me for recs), I'd like to round it off with @because-of-a-friend ‘s time travel series (I linked Joshua's to stay on brand jk// it has each member's part in the a/n section but no mini masterlist) I love bulleted fics a lot bc they're easy to digest and good for nights when I need something quick or something that doesn't make me think too much like oneshots or multi-chaptered fics do. and each time travel part has such a unique story behind them. Personally, Infind Seungkwan's the most interesting bc his s/o also time jumps.
and that's it for now!

💡 What's an idea you've enjoyed but never wrote//couldn't write?
Sea Three going on the Isle of the Doomed!
I mean. I did write it. Kinda. But there were more people and AU background and I'd like to write it again, thank you.
They'd go looking for CJ when she vanished, still, because it's a good motivation. However, I can't figure out a good trap for Gil, so I'm stuck.
Also Anthony doing Harriet's hair. I think it'd be neat.
💿 - Which character is most likely to have a terrible sleep schedule?
All three Hooks, Uma, probably Mal.
There is a bet going on about whether the Facilier sisters are sleeping at all.
Carlos while living in Hell Hall for reasons called "Cruella is crazy and time is fake."
Ben if someone didn't force him to stop working and/or studying at eleven in the evening at most.
Audrey sticks to her sleep schedule religiously to pretend she has everything under control and Fairy Godmother gives Jane lights out at ten o'clock sharp.
🔔 - What compliment meant the most to you regarding your writing? (offline or online)
Let me just:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And about every single comment @dragoneyes618 ever wrote me ✨
Unrelated to Descendants, someone once told me „I wouldn't be afraid to offer this to a publishing house.“ (We then met once and they said they loved my stories and it was the sweetest thing ever) (it was an original story, just to be clear.)
🏳️ - Favorite way you have described something in your works
...I don't think I'm describing stuff all that much?
I think this scene is neat, though, and I apologize for the length:
It only takes one visit to her room for her to get all she needs, her hands doing their tasks completely on autopilot. Unsteered.
Take the dagger, CJ, tuck it to your belt. Then the other one. And another. Don’t forget your sabres. The boxers, for when you feel like you want to punch something – you do want punch something, don’t you? Someone? Their bones cracking under your knuckles, their hot blood splattering all over you?
You do know that a few cracked faces won’t miraculously heal broken reality, don‘t you?
…Yes, that goes for skulls and spines too.
CJ’s own skull throbs violently, she wants to go to Harriet and make her tell her that everything will be okay, even if it’s a lie.
Somehow, explosives find a way to her bag.
Oh, who is she kidding? She knows full well how they got there, and she knows how she wants to use them, too. Her fingers just itch to zap the lighter and throw the gotten-on-black grenades with all her might.
Watch the world burn.
But not yet.
She knows who has to pay first. Who else should it be than the king that condemned her siblings to death for the mere crime of being born?
The atrocities afterwards do not count.
Old king or new king, CJ doesn‘t care anyway.
The old king and his family, the woman who set up the shimmering Barrier of CJ’s childhood prison and her siblings’s mausoleum, all the people who turned a blind eye to the Isle for the last two decades.
The entire royal council, yeah, sure, why not.
Go big or go home.
CJ laughs hysterically as she walks through the front gate of Auradon Prep, straight to the Castle Beast.
I'm also obsessed with this fic (claudine/huma) a normal amount.
Plus, for some reason, the mental image from this fic brings me so much joy: Ginny and Maddy sitting together on the floor, Ginny playing with her own hair while Maddy plays with her doll, raking her nails through its hair. They're so cute, your honour.
🔗 - What has been your favorite dynamic to write for? (romantic or platonic)
Harry Hook/Uma
Harriet & Harry & CJ
Harriet Hook/Anthony Tremaine/Ginny Gothel
Claudine Frollo & the pirate crews. Particularly Harry and Uma. No I will not shut up about them. It can be your problem.
✨ What's a scene you've really enjoyed working on?
Probably every single Hook siblings reunion scene. Which I wrote a normal amount of.

[ kingdom au uwus ] ❛❛ I believe you're obsessed. ❜❜ Though she speaks like this, though her words flow, there is a clear joy in her features. A joy that he has found something so deeply relaxing in her land. ❛❛ Then, I shall build another royal garden. This one, my dear friend, is yours now. From the grass, to the camellia bushes, to the lotus pond & to the tallest wisteria & ginkgo, they are all yours. ❜❜ Fingers press onto the ground as she begins to settle down, knees following along & soon, she allows herself to plop down again his lap, head resting comfortably as she smiles up at him, long tresses flowing over his lap & surrounding her akin to a painting. ❛❛ What do you think of that, Ramses ? That this garden & these trees you love so well are now yours. You may request to have done whatever you like to this garden, I can even expand it. I will have a great statue erected here for you & a poem upon said statue. Ramses, the Pharaoh whom loved wisteria. Hehe. ❜❜
Tumblr media
HE BLINKED, A BIT taken aback by those words as his gaze quickly shifted in her direction. ❝You are…giving me a garden?❞ It was highly unexpected, and yet…how very like Koto to do this. She must have noticed how much he enjoyed being among these flowers and trees so foreign to him – how he would look upon it all with such a relaxed expression, soothed by the beauty of it. ❝Oh? Will you upkeep this when I am not here, then?❞ He already knew the answer to that. It would be kept immaculate so that when he came back to these lands, aside from new growth, it would be as it was before he left. As Koto’s head came to rest upon his lap, he huffed, amused smile in place as he shifted a little to make her more comfortable. Well now, he supposed he wouldn't be able to move for a while. Koto was going to basically keep him glued here until she felt like getting up again.
     How cheeky.
     ❝I believe you already know the answer to that. As for your other words…❞ he paused, lifting his hand and flicking her forehead gently, but playfully nonetheless, ❝I will leave it as is. The garden does not need expansion, nor does it need a statue in my honor…even if I am quite sure you would have loved to have my image here at all hours of the day. A given with how incredible a ruler I am.❞

46, 49, 2, 10, 20? ^^
Okay first of all hiiiiii so glad the fandom is only mostly dead (tee-hee), and thank you for coming up with this fun list! Second, I'm sorry if you've been waiting for me to respond. Tumblr is dumb and didn't tell me I had an ask in my inbox (which I don't check otherwise😅)
Anywho, here's my answers (Fair warning, I write long-winded answers for pretty much every ask I get):
2 - Fav Hetalia artists and why?
Ugh there are so many and I honestly don't remember them because it's been so long since either I or they have been active. Some of the ones I used to see on my dash were hetalia ask blogs. There was one artist in particular, though I can't remember who they were exactly, that I really enjoyed. They ran a few blogs, one of which I remember was an au where America was some kind of monster, and I think another was a Hitman Jones blog? I followed quite a few of those blogs back when I was really active in the fandom.
Many have also deleted over the years, but currently @oplusplus (I just love all of their work, and how they use a couple different styles depending on the kind of work they want to make) is my favorite. I also like much of the work they reblog from other artists, though I've been a bit slow to actually get back into following other fans and artists and consuming Hetalia content😅
10 - How long have you been in the fandom? What's your lore?
I believe I joined the fandom back in 2013-14? I was about that age as well (13-14 that is) So I've been a fan for about 9-10 years now. I was in high school when I first discovered it, and my family and friends at the time could attest to how obsessed with it I became. I still have some decent (and not so decent) fanart and fics floating around the interwebs and my sketchbooks.
Also, when I first joined Tumblr, this was originally a Hetalia OC ask/rp blog... Yeah, I made a Narnia OC, I was that person. I loved her though.
20 - Favorite relationship dynamic?
Being the oldest of three, I'm a big fan of most of the sibling dynamics (I'd say all but Russia and his sisters...), but my favorite has got to be Switzerland and Lichtenstein. It's just so pure and good and brings me such joy.
Honorary mention to the absolute chaos that is the Bad Friends Trio.
(I think this is what this question is referring to, but I'm not entirely sure, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
46 - Who gives the warmest hugs?
So many would give such good hugs but I think Canada, Finland, China, Spain, and Hungary would have the most comforting ones. The ones that make you feel safe. There is a possible correlation between raising another country and giving really good hugs (though naturally this isn't the sole reason).
There's a lot more I could say about the kinds of hugs the nations would give but I'll save that for a different post.
49 - Who's lactose intolerant and eats like they're not?
Purely based on the behavior of many of the people I know who are lactose intolerant: America. He just has the attitude of someone who'd be like "I know I'm gonna hate myself for this later but that's later right now I want ice cream."

🌿✨🎀🎀 (that's right TWO compliments, and here's one from me too bc you deserve them all: i love the way your fics feel like they take place in a universe full of life and detail even around the main characters or events. even the shorter ones still feel like you have a detailed picture of who the characters are and what parts of them you want to portray or focus on, and it makes reading that much smoother and more immersive!)
OH MY GODDDD BEANIE YOU'RE THE SWEETEST. Genuinely teared up over here... I get so happy whenever I get any kind of message notif but AGH??? SO DETAILED? CRYING.
(Fic writer asks here!)
Tumblr media
🌿how does creating make you feel?
Ahhh this is a big question! I like creating! But it can certainly be daunting sometimes... I think it's because I mostly do art. I find myself enjoying it less these days since I'm usually drawing for others in return for money. I keep taking commissions because I need money but it does take the joy out of creating sometimes. But whenever I do get to sit down and draw something I really enjoy, it's cathartic. It reminds me of why I still draw - it's that amazing gift I have to be able to make anything I want with my hands. And it fuels me with passion! I get really excited to see what else I can make! I have my ruts here and there but ultimately, I see creativity as a beautiful outlet and I'm really grateful for it. This all applies to writing too, of course!
Tumblr media
✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)
ueihfjidsjgdsi I'm tempted to list one of my wips BECAUSE I DO NOT POST ENOUGH HELP DSDSFIJGD
If I had to pick, probably my John Watson x Reader Soulmate AU fic "A Silent Fate"! I thought it was a flop so I never had the motivation to finish it, but it's still one of my favorite ideas.
It uses the soulmate AU where everyone has the first words their soulmate says to them written on their arm. The twist is that the reader is mute! John Watson goes about his life, assuming that he simply doesn't have a soulmate - that theory further hardened after meeting Sherlock Holmes, a man who breaks all conventionality and rejects conformity. Then one day, the reader and John cross paths and the reader has to get creative with how they "talk" with John.
I really really love this idea because I'm all about "thinking outside of the box" and challenging myself with something uncommon. I don't think I see many mute!reader fics let alone mixed with the soulmate au so I wanted to give it a shot! I have the whole story drafted out... it's just unfortunate because I haven't felt the same way about the BBC Sherlock characters in a while ahaha
Tumblr media
🎀🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing
GAAHHH TWO!!! hmmm hmmmh mmm
✦ I like that my fics are long! It's something I get self-conscious of sometimes but I think it really shows how passionate I am about a fic when I can't stop writing. Because I really love adding all those little details and getting into the worldbuilding - it's my favorite part (the setup)!! I love the feeling of reading a good story that feels like it comes to life around me with characters who feel like real people. That's what I hope to achieve in my writing
✦ Another thing I like about my writing is ummm umumummum I like the way I write dialogue! Coming back to "making characters feel like real people", I LOVE writing extremely awkward pauses and fumbles in written dialogue (Explains why I love writing Reigen so much). Adding those "Um... erm... well-" and "AhaHAH-" just adds flavor and I'm way too obsessed with it
Tumblr media
THANK YOU FOR THE ASKS AHHHH THIS WAS SO FUN!! ILYSM BEANIE 💗💗💗
