finney blakex fem! reader !

edit: WHOEVER TOLD ME HIS LAST NAME IN ANON THANK YOU😭

it was the fall of 1978, north denver. the trees had settled on shades of oranges and browns a few still painted green only a few were late bloomers. the november chill ran up your spine as you sat under a tree with gwendolyn blake, a good friend of yours and little sister to finney blake. as if that wasn’t already known. she was a grade bellow you but you didn’t really mind one bit. she was sweet but didn’t hesitate to tell the truth and be honest whenever it was needed, something you appreciated. at the moment the two of you were seated on a hill across from where finn and his team were currently playing a game of baseball. the stands were all filled up so gwen suggested a more, in her words, ‘scenic view’. it wasn’t like it was a bad idea..it was just not the ideal for you to be bunched up next to her with the wind blowing the two of yours hair around. it wasn’t very cold no, but the wind was just brutal this afternoon. sure you had the choice to simply get up and leave but two things definitely held you back from doing any of that. first off, you weren’t going to leave gwen here, she’ll just guilt trip you with large puppy eyes. something that was definitely a weakness. and that second thing. well you were in the same grade as finney and well, you definitely were crushing on him, it was so undeniably obvious to everyone around you, and unknowingly to you, it was so undeniably obvious that he returned the feelings. from the shy glances that the two of you stole from each other in science to the..rather awkward interactions you had. it wasn’t like the two of you didn’t know each other no no, because gwen always went to your house and vise versa.

along with the fact you two were just very recently science buddies the two of you knew each other pretty well. yeah okay not robin and finney type of well but, it was almost impossible to know someone that well. now there wasn’t one person who was tired of this shy pining nobody was as tired of it as gwen was. now finney was never the heroic type..he wasn’t exactly brave when it came to things like this so gwen couldn’t rope him into any circumstance where he’d have to do a impromptu confession and she knew you were stubborn as a stone, not wanting to hurt the friendship in any way. which was definitely understandable but in gwen’s eyes..it definitely was not. as you peacefully rested your head against the tree trunk as the smaller girl was slumped up against your arm, using you as a pillow of sorts. despite the wind nothing was really bad. it was nice, peaceful. you honestly wished every day could be like this, slightly perking up as you heard the coach blow his whistle, signaling break time. now the two of you weren’t very far from the actual game, like at all. some parents or other kids were scattered around you and gwen, the two of you just got lucky with the good spot. a grin spread onto gwen’s face concealing a small laugh as she lifted herself up, digging through her backpack.

“hey y/n! finney is probably thirsty or something from the practice round, can you give this to him?”

“a coke? wouldn’t a water be more-“

“take it.”

and suddenly a lukewarm can of coke was shoved into your hands, and a small shove that definitely did the job, as you stumbled down the small hill and on the way to the baseball player. now you definitely didn’t expect that much forceful strength from someone as small as her..definitely full of surprises. as you inched closer and closer to where finney was currently tying his shoes it seemed like every step was an extra ten pounds. feeling heavier and heavier with every moment. oh you knew damn well why gwen sent you here, sacrificing her own comfortable spot just to play matchmaker for a day. the crunching from leafs below your sneakers alerted the boy of the sudden presence. immediately he wanted to go into full blown panic mode. blinking a little to be a-hundred percent sure it was you walking over to him. oh god, don’t tell me you were watching him play, just the thought of you watching him play made the hair on the ends of his neck stand up in a mixture of feelings. he tried to make it seem like he didn’t see you approaching..as if that would make it any better. once you got over to him you gave him a small smile, a smile that could very easily be read as, ‘oh dear lord please kill me now’. “hey finney ! gwen wanted me to give this to you”, your tone didn’t read of any negative emotion even though you definitely wanted to rip the other girl’s head off for putting you on the spot like this..in such a awkward situation.

you furrowed brows, then raised one right after as finney just..completely blanked. in the zone staring at basically nothing. tucking the can underneath your arm you snapped a finger in his face, trying to stifle your laughter as you did so. “finney-?” “oh-!” he seemed to quickly get out of the trance he was in looking at the coke and nodded. “yup thanks!” he squeaked out, before turning on his heel and wanting to go plant himself in the nearest hole asap. god..this boy was such a absolute mess when it came to romance..and girls. so much that you had to call out his name again, lifting the coke up to show him he didn’t even grab it. cussing himself out internally he ran back and grabbed it, hands awkwardly brushing up against your own which made you go stiff. and of course he noticed. the two of you just shared an equal look, as if waiting for the other to do something, maybe to speak? inhaling a sharp breath you gave him a nod, quickly gaining enough courage to give him a pat on the shoulder. “i..i should go back to gwen..she’ll kill me if i left her alone for this long.” letting out a dry chuckle, you turned around and quickly broke out into a speed walk wanting to just drop dead from how awkward you were around him. the flared pants you wore making brisk sounds as the material rubbed up against each other. making it back to your original spot gwen chimed in with a ‘Oooo’ sing song voice as you glared daggers at her. “cut it out” you mumbled, wanting to shrink behind the large blanket the two of you shared.

after a few minutes the game had resumed, you and the sneaky girl decided to get a little more closer to the game. well..more you if anything, saying you wanted to guess ‘what type of strategy’ they were using, oh gwen knew it was absolute bullshit. the scoff she let out and the rolling of eyes let you know that. sitting yourself up on your elbows as you let gwen use the bag you brought as a makeshift pillow to rest her head. you carefully watched as the batter made his way up, it was none other than teenage heartthrob bruce yamada. now you didn’t think ill of him, he was quite sweet that was it. cheering on for finney was the last thing you could quite remember..the order of events was well..blurry from there on..all you could recount was, bruce going up to bat, finney waving at you with a smile as he ran bases, gwen nudging you as you averted eyes..then..then a ball? yeah, a ball hurdling towards you. the last thing you could hear were a series of ‘ahhhhs’ and ‘ohhhhs’ as your head hit the grassy knoll. upon waking up you had people surrounding you, you were half aware that someone had been holding you. but as of right now that wasn’t a first priority.

“aw yea…it’s an ugly bruise alright..”

someone’s voice echoed in your mind as whoever was holding you at the moment, said something in a snappy tone, something you couldn’t quite catch considering you were gaining consciousness. you let a low groan out as you reached your hands up for whoever, again was holding you, hands placed onto their shoulders trying to shuffle yourself up. which they quickly helped you do. a pounding pain was strong in your head especially in the left eye..which you couldn’t open. “y/n thank god you’re awake i was getting worried, you see bruce didn’t mean it but he hit the ball too hard and the ball went totally flying in your direction i should’ve kept an eye out but the-“ “finney can you let her breath?? we can explain later!” gwen cut her bumbling brother off as she lifted a mirror to your face. the smallest gasp left you and your mouth agape. the left eye that didn’t wanna open was bruised practically all sorts of the rainbow, purple blue and even a little bit of yellow was evident. from the mere sight of it you thought you were gonna faint again. people asked if you wanted an ambulance but knowing your parents definitely did not have the money to pay off doctor bills you croaked out a no. then it did hit you (no pun intended) who had been holding you up the entirety of the time, slightly moving your head a little you met eyes with a..rather nervous finn.

trying to make light of the situation you let a small smile grace your features, one he admired. you were sat in between his legs on the bleachers, his arms were tucked underneath your own, to keep you from slipping out. the moment broke off for a minute as you got handed a ice pack to at least calm down the color and swelling. saying a thanks to the person you refocused your attention onto the ‘baseball star’ or well, that’s what you’d like to call him. “seems like you wanted to be the hero today huh?” you teased, fighting some laughter as finney very quickly tried to dismiss all accusations, “w-wait i didn’t mean for it to come off like that- you didn’t hear what i said earlier right? i’m sorry if-“ you let out a sigh and shook your head. before giving the all star a peck on the cheek in hopes that could make him silent for a while.

and oh it did.

the mid to late afternoon ended with finney, who was allowed to skip out on this game for obvious reasons. holding you comfortably, holding your ice pack and all with possibly the brightest smile you haven’t seen on him for a while, with gwen right nearby with a ‘told you so’ grin. oh yeah, she was eating this alll up. and of course, bruce yamada giving apology after apology, you knew he really did mean it. you forgave him quite quickly, mistakes happen. just wrong place wrong time that’s all. and plus, it was just the tiniest price to pay to end up here in this situation..now you were sure being science buddies wasn’t going to be awkward in the slightest.

[rando-lesbo210]

This is going to out me as the anon but I got too many ideas and wanted to show really bad how the au designs are in my brain because a lot of @scrap-brainzone 's stuff inspired with it and aus so this is a babble about it and some extra info on my aus!

(also at the end I made a doodle of gaige x ty x moze specifically in thanks and also to show appreciation as a gift)

ALSO SUPER SORRY THIS IS GOING TO BE A GIANT POST.

Going simple first, I wanted to show the differences, although I haven't touched Angelic Guardian in awhile and Hyperion brand new with posting I wanted to show anyways- I'll add tidbit about each under this, so sorry for anyone trying to decipher my chicken scratch

Underneath Ms Ceos heavy ass eyeliner and makeup is the eridium effects as displayed here, she's went under several different surgeries repeatedly trying to hide any of the effects and uses cameras and altering her look digitally to her advantage. Her big problem is she Can't let people know because she fears if people knew, they're going to try and kidnap her again. (Mildly irrational considering all her security but it's a fair worry.) She hasn't touched eridium since the end of BL2, so she's most clean, but with how much she had the damage has been done.

Ah, Fallen Heir au. Angel's given up caring about who sees, only hiding before to stay away from the Crimson Raiders and cultists, but after both sides know? It's so what to her. She's technically the most fit and least afraid to use her abilities because she doesn't care as much about hurting others around her. If I were to describe her attitude/self in one sentence of dialog it'd basically be, "They refuse to see me as anything but a monster, so that's what I'll be."

Alas, my dear Angelic Guardian. As you can see, she's very much not holding up well. Her suit uses eridium to help keep her going but still at what cost? She's technically extremely fit, but the repercussions are severe if she pushes too far. Her level of eridium poisoning is beyond dangerous, having been in stasis for 5 years while still receiving eridium to keep her alive. I'll end it here by saying this has severe consequences that unfortunately, she was doomed to face regardless.

Ai Ange? Well. Not very much of anything but mild traits. I, in turn, made one for Gaige with that au.

Angel isn't very the most comfortable with Gaige using eridium, mainly due to the fact its less "as needed" but she likes to test limits and see what she can really do.

moving on I made some goofies and such from my Fallen au, wanting to show interactions (Mildly for also scrap because I know tyreen and tygaige a favorite)

Tygaige alas, would heavy struggle unless we get villain redemption pt 2 like Angel, but she won't be very pleased about it at first before accepting. I'm a sucker for Gaigel, so it'll lean that way, but to entertain the idea would be interesting. I might do that sometime.

if you're curious though with Angel there, it is a shitpost and I have drawn it with the idea Tyreen was monologing, but Angel just turned off her shield and straight up shot a bitch. (Tyreen easily healed with eridium but it was the audacity that was most surprising) the fallen au is pretty funny because besides that, she's also: Made Troy punch himself, then also has made his arm punch Tyreen. Will hack their shows if she's upset enough and fucks with their things. General fun, yknow. An issue Ange faces in the end is because she's so "eridium enriched" it's like double tasty snack to the twins, so that's always fun. (In fairness to Troy and with another drawing, Angel in this au has also made Gaige punch herself a few times when she got upset. She's very petty and I support it)

AND LASTLY

This is a mild gift to scrap-brainzone! I'm really sorry thr quality and coloring isn't the best on this (or most of the images), I was mildly rushing from time and far too excited to finish this and post it to show.

FUCK I REALIZED I DIDNT ADD THE BLUSHES. GOD. I'll do it tomorrow and edit or reblog this one, god I knew I was forgetting something-

The trio may not be my personal cup of tea, but it is very cute and I couldn't stop laughing/thinking about a post similar about the White Girl Swag so I wanted to be silly and make one

I'm too loyal to Gaigel, but who doesn't like to look and toy with other ideas? I never considered it much until seeing their art and it good shit, how could i not? Anyways, rambling, hope this isn't too bad or shoddy of a gift, I'll hopefully make something better soon, I was just too excited to post and show

anyone else who.made it this far you should totally totally go to scrap-brainzone 's blog it's great good shit 100/10 👍

#gaigel #angel borderlands #angel the siren #gaige borderlands #gaige the mechromancer #im a clown to make mtself anon and then do this the night of #but we stay silly. #i have something to do tomofdow i really ought to sleep now #sorry again for thr chicken scratch writing #it is a problem 😕

[cricketwrites]

Hello~~~~ could I please request you do a Alphonse x reader, and reader has a little sister who is quite younger than her (reader 14 and 8 yrs~ difference so sister would be about 5-6) and all the fluff that would ensue with readers little sister possibly spoiling that her big sister has a crush?? Like little sisters do! Even better if lil sis has a lil kid crush on Edward cuz he’s so ‘tall’ compared to her lmao please and thank you do whatever you Can with this, honestly there’s just not very much Al in armor content out there 🙈 Ty Ty

-Say LESS anon <3 Honestly I love good old Al in armor content out there because there’s so much he CAN do and it’s an added little restriction that lets me stretch my writing muscles a bit :D

-Okay siblings, and kids in general, are little gremlins (said with all my love) who will absolutely spoil secrets if they get the chance, even unintentionally.

-So kids love Al, it’s canon I don't make the rules.

-Little sister would keep asking why you act differently around Al, and why your face is red when you talk. Sometimes right in front of Al and Ed, which makes Ed cackle and Al awkwardly flail because he doesn’t know what to do.

-Al sort of just writes it off, he’s had some experience with kids and knows how kids can be. (Like Maes’s daughter calling Al “big brother” and Ed “little brother” because Al is a 7 foot tall suit of armor and Ed is, of course, shorter. I love that scene so much.)

-Ed knows that Al likes you, but has kept to himself out of respect for his little brother. It’s getting on his nerves that you guys won't talk to each other about it though.

-Now, little sister adores Ed. He doesn’t think about it too much, after all she’s a kid, but he doesn’t really entertain it.

-“I appreciate the thought kid, but you gotta find someone your own age, okay? We can be friends.” With some head pats and a smile.

-She was upset about it for a few hours then they were back to being friends again with no hard feelings. Kids are just like that.

-Now, sister snitched to Ed, probably knowing exactly what she was doing.

-Al was luckily not there, and you had left the two alone for less than 5 minutes.

-Ed would probably bring it up when you were alone, if sister didn’t bring it up when you got back.

-He wouldn’t confront you, per se, but he’d have a calm conversation about it and it would be quickly resolved.

-He likes you, and thinks you’re good for his brother. The fact that he even let you close enough to form a good relationship is evidence.

-Now, onto Al himself.

-After Ed finds out, he keeps it to himself. He knows Al wouldn’t want Ed to intervene and “embarrass” him.

-Ed begrudgingly keeps it quiet, but schemes with little sister to put you two in situations where you might have to confess.

-It doesn’t work.

-What does push you two to confess is Ed and Al getting into danger. Ed needed some minor automail repairs and Al’s armor was majorly damaged, but the damage was repairable.

-It took a few days for Winry to come out to fix Ed’s automail so that he could properly repair Al’s armor, so he was stuck for a few days.

-You spent as much time with him as possible, clearly distressed about the incident, even if Al wasn’t too upset about it

-When you finally bring up your concern, Al was nervous but again didn’t see too much of a problem with it.

-It leads to a really sweet confession but he is mildly insecure, after all, he’s a 14 year old boy in a 7 foot tall suit of armor.

-He’s not sure that he’s what you want, because he’s all too aware of what he lacks.

-He’s not too aware, though, of what he does have. He’s a lovely person with a big heart and his insecurity eclipses that.

-When you finally reassure him and make it known, everyone is so happy.

-Ed and your little sister go “FINALLY”

-Little sister says “Does this mean I get to call you big brother now?” With wide eyes and a happy smile.

-If Al could blush his face would be STEAMING.

Thank you for requesting anon!! I had so much fun writing this <3

[spirallabyrinthpodcast]

 Good morning I am mad! Like y’all said I am extremely appreciative of Cassie providing us this piece of media for free. Which I heard would be made into a physical book, which means she’ll probably get a lot of cash from it, anyway! So some fans should stop using that as an excuse, for it being a mediocre piece of media at best. The writing was great and the artwork was wonderful! But The plot could’ve been thawed out better. First of all, I left with more questions then I started out with. Like could Kit see Rupert? Was Andrew and Arthur aware of Rooper’s existence? If they were, why did Arthur came back to take the statues out of the garden? And many many many more other questions, we should’ve gotten the answers to. Second of all, this Kit and Ty thing is getting exhausting! SOBH is supposed to give us a look into the grove of the TWP team, warming them up to take the Baton from Julian and Emma. Like what COHF and Shadowhunters academy did for are main characters in Dark Artifices, with the wedding ceremony and Tessa teasing the potential, for a new Herondale. But no! They spend most, of what was supposed to be a opportunity for us to know them better, pining after each other! Kit’s character growth seem rough and out of nowhere, he didn’t really solve the kidnapping, Julian did. It leaves me fearful of what would happen when Julian is unable to save the day yet once again! Who is Kit and Ty without their romantic feelings for each other?

I’m in raged about how Ty’s struggle as a Neuro diversion person, living in a unyielding and rigid society, was once again sideline for someone else’s problem! But, I’m not going to further with that line of thought because there has been so many on here who’s been saying the same thing for months and years now! CC never listens! 

To add the cherry on top of the proverbial pie, all the sudden, out of nowhere Jamie ( a character who we never given much thought to) is missing. Can she please tie up the loose ends first! This is so messy! It reminds me of a five-year-old, eating a cupcake, with the cream and cake splattered all over the table, creating a catastrophic catastrophe! At least the five years old is cute😂. A person going missing, on top of everything else on the other hand is not.

Thank you so much for listening to me rant and I’m so sorry about the long paragraph.

Omg, Anon!

First, it needs to be acknowledged that the opening to this ask had us dying (what a mood!) 😂 Bestie, we are with you.

Never feel like you need to apologize for sending a rant <3 we live for rants around here

Here’s a rant in return (as a bitter and salty treat):

On Criticism ...

The bit about it being sold and therefore that argument being moot is interesting, because it was never intended to be sold, and she can’t very well go back and edit it to make it worth the money we fully intend to spend on it at this point. You do have a good point, but at the same time, it is still free content in that purchasing a hard copy won’t provide anyone with anything that isn’t available to them online.

When it comes down to it, the issue is less about whether Cassie is profiting off of SoBH, and more so the fact that she is a published author who opens herself up to criticism through her profession. Her content isn’t ‘safe’ based on the revenue it generates. This was still a very fun project and experience, but it’s okay to criticize. It’s not a personal attack or an attack on her writing/content, which is something that is important for us to understand so that we don’t feel obligated to come up with excuses or defenses for the person behind the writing.

On Questions & No Answers ...

The point about ending with more questions than we started with is probably one of the most frustrating parts honestly. These in-between projects are essentially meant to fill gaps, aka answer questions, and instead we ended up with out-of-place fluff that didn’t exactly fit into canon — yes, we’re still mad and confused about how Arthur and Andrew could have lived in Blackthorn Hall in the canon timeline. Plus, we get no definitive information on Rupert or why he’d be trapped, which makes him being the ghost feel lackluster after the fact. We are Big Mad™.

On the TWP Gang ...

As for Kit, Ty and the passing of the baton, we get you. We’ve been a broken record on the point that the Kit Pain Train™ took way too long of a trip in this project. Kit’s character development wasn’t mingled into the story as well as it should have been, which lands on the fact that his arc in SoBH was tacked on to expand the plot after Chain of Thorns was pushed back.

It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely didn’t get the attention or drift off that it should’ve — which, as you said, could have been achieved if Kit did anything to actually help the Mina situation aside from getting bodied by Mother Hawthorn. He takes initiative, which is something, but to have him be the catalyst for success rather than Julian (or have him work more actively WITH Julian on a plan), would’ve hit much harder in a narrative sense. (There’s at least a lot to look forward to here, though, as we’ll get to see the growth of Kit’s leadership skills etc. from a better vantage point once TWP starts.)

The same goes for Ty and Dru. If Cassie genuinely wanted to have SoBH set up TWP (which is essentially what it did), they should’ve been given more of an active role, as well. Yes, Ty built the ghost sensor and helped with ley lines, but Dru never once interacted with anyone outside of Kit. 

We feel like Ty being neurodivergent/autistic gets sidelined, as well as him as a character, because Cassie doesn’t have the time to do it or him justice. She’d rather push it back for TWP when she can dedicate the proper research and commitment to portray him correctly — honorable but cheap when you still have him lingering in the background. 

On THAT Ending ...

The catastrophic catastrophe of ending on this last installment indeed! This is something we will discuss much more in our episode this week, but it would have been much more satisfying to end this in a way that rounded out Secrets of Blackthorn Hall, rather than create a new loose end for a character whose name had only been mentioned once before throughout the entire story, and whom no one really give two shits about other than Dru (including both the characters and the fandom lol).

It does set up the transition into TWP in a way that might make sense if (a) TWP wasn’t so damn far away, (b) we felt and or understood more about the gravity of that, and (c) Cassie had made mention of him more throughout SoBH.

Fin ...

In case you needed evidence that we live for rants … lol clearly we too have a lot of thoughts on this!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to go a little insane <3 and we honestly appreciate you sending your rant our way. If you ever have any other thoughts, anon, we’d love to hear them!

I literally just say 'Tall-esque' - 👑

XDD Fair enough.

To both you and everyone who answered the post, 1, ty for doing so, much appreciated, and 2 while it was originally meant to be pronounced Tall SC (like saying the letters separately, Tall-es-see) honestly pronounce it however you like, I don't mind and was mostly just curious to see what everyone thought. XD

TallSec is nice cause that's very easy to say, just Tall is the nickname I'm most used to, Tallsssc makes me sound like a snake and I do love snakes so can't argue with that :> And as for crown anon, Tall-esque is not one that I imagined being used so that's very fun and unique

Though fun fact for everyone - the SC in my name doesn't actually have anything to do with the Second Coming XD The original name was TallShadowClan (based on Warrior cats) but since I lost interest in that series ages ago I wanted to make the username separated from Warriors while still having it be the name I'm used to. It's just coincidence that the initials ended up matching Orange

Hello~~~~ could I please request you do a Alphonse x reader, and reader has a little sister who is quite younger than her (reader 14 and 8 yrs~ difference so sister would be about 5-6) and all the fluff that would ensue with readers little sister possibly spoiling that her big sister has a crush?? Like little sisters do! Even better if lil sis has a lil kid crush on Edward cuz he’s so ‘tall’ compared to her lmao please and thank you do whatever you Can with this, honestly there’s just not very much Al in armor content out there 🙈 Ty Ty

-Say LESS anon <3 Honestly I love good old Al in armor content out there because there’s so much he CAN do and it’s an added little restriction that lets me stretch my writing muscles a bit :D

-Okay siblings, and kids in general, are little gremlins (said with all my love) who will absolutely spoil secrets if they get the chance, even unintentionally.

-So kids love Al, it’s canon I don't make the rules.

-Little sister would keep asking why you act differently around Al, and why your face is red when you talk. Sometimes right in front of Al and Ed, which makes Ed cackle and Al awkwardly flail because he doesn’t know what to do.

-Al sort of just writes it off, he’s had some experience with kids and knows how kids can be. (Like Maes’s daughter calling Al “big brother” and Ed “little brother” because Al is a 7 foot tall suit of armor and Ed is, of course, shorter. I love that scene so much.)

-Ed knows that Al likes you, but has kept to himself out of respect for his little brother. It’s getting on his nerves that you guys won't talk to each other about it though.

-Now, little sister adores Ed. He doesn’t think about it too much, after all she’s a kid, but he doesn’t really entertain it.

-“I appreciate the thought kid, but you gotta find someone your own age, okay? We can be friends.” With some head pats and a smile.

-She was upset about it for a few hours then they were back to being friends again with no hard feelings. Kids are just like that.

-Now, sister snitched to Ed, probably knowing exactly what she was doing.

-Al was luckily not there, and you had left the two alone for less than 5 minutes.

-Ed would probably bring it up when you were alone, if sister didn’t bring it up when you got back.

-He wouldn’t confront you, per se, but he’d have a calm conversation about it and it would be quickly resolved.

-He likes you, and thinks you’re good for his brother. The fact that he even let you close enough to form a good relationship is evidence.

-Now, onto Al himself.

-After Ed finds out, he keeps it to himself. He knows Al wouldn’t want Ed to intervene and “embarrass” him.

-Ed begrudgingly keeps it quiet, but schemes with little sister to put you two in situations where you might have to confess.

-It doesn’t work.

-What does push you two to confess is Ed and Al getting into danger. Ed needed some minor automail repairs and Al’s armor was majorly damaged, but the damage was repairable.

-It took a few days for Winry to come out to fix Ed’s automail so that he could properly repair Al’s armor, so he was stuck for a few days.

-You spent as much time with him as possible, clearly distressed about the incident, even if Al wasn’t too upset about it

-When you finally bring up your concern, Al was nervous but again didn’t see too much of a problem with it.

-It leads to a really sweet confession but he is mildly insecure, after all, he’s a 14 year old boy in a 7 foot tall suit of armor.

-He’s not sure that he’s what you want, because he’s all too aware of what he lacks.

-He’s not too aware, though, of what he does have. He’s a lovely person with a big heart and his insecurity eclipses that.

-When you finally reassure him and make it known, everyone is so happy.

-Ed and your little sister go “FINALLY”

-Little sister says “Does this mean I get to call you big brother now?” With wide eyes and a happy smile.

-If Al could blush his face would be STEAMING.

Thank you for requesting anon!! I had so much fun writing this <3

Hello friendly anon! Ty for the ask ❤️ Maybe we'll see some oversharing on my part this morning.

🐸 Describe your aesthetic.

Gremlin living in the woods.

I love the woods. I like a healthy separation and lots of trees and shade and no big wasteful lawns. I love the colors changing with the seasons and snow on evergreens. And the idea of a cabin nestled in the woods with a gravel driveway and a little trail of smoke billowing from the chimney with the scent or something warm hanging in the air is just so lovely. Bonus if it's lakeside or has a little stream.

Inside the cabin (log or cobblestone) it would be so nice and cozy. Lots of wood and shiny rocks and handmade things with tasteful modern conveniences mixed in. I don't mean smart stoves bc those are fucking stupid, but decent wifi and a little worshop in the basement or off to the side for my myriad of hobbies. Big open spaces and high ceilings and a wood stove for heating and cooking. Double bonus if there's a nook for fluffy things and chilling out and cuddling with cats or dogs or possibly a werewolf 🤣

I like soft things in natural spaces and wanna appreciate how mother nature really went nuts with the rings in wood and the crystalline structures that naturally form underground and the way that things change in a rhythmic soothing way. The patter of rain on the roof or crackle of fire in the fireplace with enough privacy that you can curl up and lose time with those you love.

In other words: I am a monumental sap and a softie.

💎 What’s your most prized possession?

Honest to God: my baby blanket.

So like, fun fact: sometimes I get in a headspace where I wonder how much of my life I could get rid of and be fine without lol. Usually it happens when I get 🌈 hella anxious 🌈 but since actually starting to take meds for it, it's been a lot less frequent.

But the conclusion for these tangents usually fell to my baby blanket. Like everything else is replicable or replaceable outright. I don't have that much pride or care much for stuff I made (most joy comes from the process of making pretty things and not owning pretty things). Most stuff can be backed up on the cloud if I need it, and even then how likely am I going to be to look at ALL my old unsorted pics? Physical stuff is cool but whatever. Makes for conveniences and costs money to replace.

But one of those irreplaceable things is my baby blanket. I have a hella emotional attachment to it, and in my life it represents a very pure kindness that I can't shake the feeling of. Great Aunt made it for me. Mended it for me as a kid. And it's still kicking well after 2 decades of wear. It represents somebody making something warm and loving for somebody that they gain no benefit from, and like. That just absolutely kicks me in the honey nut feelios.

A close second is my car. Because I kinda bond with it like pets and I don't have any pets yet lol. I sobbed like a baby when I had to trade in my old one for my current one instead of fixing it, even if it wasn't worth the cost to fix and might not have been that reliable for my brief foray out on the other side of the US. But years later I've now bonded with my current car, too, and get massively upset if something breaks 🤣

So TLDR: I'm a sap and form strong emotional attachments to inanimate objects, making them inherently irreplaceable.

#mun rambles #i am really feeling God in this Chili's tn #massive love for the minute acts of love and kindness in this world #and my love letter to a very relaxed and homey life

Can you do headcanons about sparkling, Herb and black raisin as single parents (separately) please?

alrighty! this one seems fun :DD

thank you for requesting, anon!

characters ; sparkling, herb, black raisin notes ; child reader, fluff (a pinch of angst), headcanons, platonic, implied dead s/o (of the characters)

sparkling... i'm not very sure if he likes kids that much tbh, but it doesn't change the fact that he takes very good care of you.

being a single father will add on to his already busy duties as a bartender, though, but luckily you're an understanding child and you often help him out! he really appreciates it ^^

he's probably the most angsty here tbh,, sometimes you unintentionally catch your father crying over the loss of your other parent, which breaks your heart, so you go over to comfort him :( it's because you first saw him crying when you were much younger that you made a resolution to be a good child and not stress your dad any more 😔

but for the more fluffy parts!! if you have long hair, he loves to do your hair!!! tying it into braids, side ponytails, you name it! he's very skillful with his hands, and if he weren't already a bartender, you would've suggested he become a hairdresser.

sometimes he gets caught up in his own thoughts and unintentionally neglects you for a few moments, but when he comes back to reality and sees your bright smile, he'll remind himself that he has a home to go back to. <3

herb has always loved children, but to take care of one, let alone by himself, is an exhausting thought. which is why he would have never expected to end up in that exact scenario.

he absolutely adores you and is a great father, don't worry! he makes sure to give you lots of attention when you want it and does your hobbies with you :DD also teaches you gardening (but you end up hating it, oof)

i think herb is a father who'd sacrifice himself for you, if it ever came to that. he wants to protect you so much, because the memory of seeing his s/o die in front of him was already too painful to bear, and he couldn't even begin to imagine losing another loved one :(

anyway fluff time!! he's super supportive of everything you do and is your no 1 biggest fan in anything. no matter whether you're a sports person, or you prefer artistic talents, or meddling with robotics is your kinda thing, he'll support you wholeheartedly, always giving you encouragement along the way. the only reason why you're so sure in doing what you're doing right now is because of him!

beneath black raisin's harsh exterior is a woman who is just really soft towards her child. she may be gruff and restrict you from doing certain things, but she means well. she only wants you to be safe.

sometimes if you look close enough, you can see one of her crows (obviously sent by your mother herself) hiding in the trees and tailing you, making sure you don't run into any danger along the way to your destination.

even though it may seem like she never pays you any attention, she actually throws you a lot of secret glances. this is because she doesn't quite know how to communicate with you well, and is stressed from her role as a single mother, so the only way she thinks she can check up on you is through looking at you.

she also doesn't tell you often, but she's very proud of whatever you do. she's proud of the time you fell down and injured yourself but still got back up on your own when you were five. she's proud of the time you scored top of the class when you were eleven. she's proud of the time you represented your school in a nationwide competition when you were sixteen, even though you didn't win. she's just really proud of you and loves you so much, but she doesn't know how to convey it. :(

a/n: was this too angsty LOL i love familial angst can you tell

hellooo,, i saw another tiktok video(and since ur like the elite on writing this type of reqs im requesting to you aha) https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSJYsk4CY/ for shoto, kaminari and monoma (if u write for him) ty 💕

‘bae lol’

(the greenscreen heart, then kiss tiktok trend)

character(s) : todoroki shouto, kaminari denki, monoma neito (bnha)

legend : [Y/N = your name] for monoma reader’s a part of class 1-A, they/them pronouns used, quirk’s not specific

headcanon type : fluff (x reader)

note(s) : oh, i absolutely love AND hate this trend, it’s mostly bc im single though :,) not like i can get a partner in the pandemic. anyways! i love your thinking, anon <3 also no proofread bc its like,, 2am here </3 will edit later!

»»————-　♡　————-««

todoroki shouto

he’s very aware of your tiktok antics, but out of all of the ones you’ve pulled on him, and asked him to do

he loves this one the most.

because shouto doesn’t have to get the lights scared out of him, and it doesn’t have a chance in ending terribly.

you brisk towards your room, knowing that shouto rests inside— “shou!” you call out to him, and he tilts his head up

“Y/N, tell me it’s not—”

“no, i swear!” you drop next to him on the bed, and you play the video. “this would be fun to do, right?”

he doesn’t say anything at first, but he definitely wants to do it, judging by the fact that he’s replaying the tiktok over and over again.

abruptly standing up, he tugs at your wrist “let’s do it.” he says with determination hinted in his voice

you’d think that he’d get the hang of doing tiktoks because of you but LMAO NO— the greenscreen failed you both multiple times in a span of 40 minutes.

the first take, the heart was blurry, the second take, the kiss was captured seconds before the kiss, and the third take— your phone fell 💀

plus, his movements were a little stiff the first few times, but after the third try— he definitely got the hang of it.

and,, he doesn’t understand tiktok effects, not even the slightest.

on the brighter note, he has more excuses to kiss you so,, it’s a win for him! he won’t get sick of doing any retakes :))

you knew the moment he focused on making the perfect heart, as he firmly pulled you close to kiss you

that, would be the perfect shot there. he almost forgot that there was a camera recording

shouto is seen replaying the filmed tiktok over and over again— and it might’ve looked odd to anyone else

but not to you, definitely. for you, it’s the norm to see him like that.

“do more trends where i could kiss you more.” he pecks you on the lips, before he leaves you be temporarily only to edit the tiktok, ofc

the tiktok itself blows up by a ton, gathering 2M likes, and 5M views, in a surprising amount of time, and you didn’t even notice how he placed his hand on your hip

until the comments pointed it out to him. which shouto replies with “i always do that. you just didn’t seem to notice.” it’s fine bc you do now

the comments consisted of “where can i find a guy like this 💔” “haha that’s so cool *blocks*” “okay but we sEE THOSE HANDS 👀”

nonetheless— please do more trends like that with him. don’t be afraid!

shouto rates the entire ordeal a ♾/10. can and will do it again. oh— and he saves his home and lockscreen as the final outcome from the tiktok. he did a screenshot it, and decides to keep it like that for a very long time

kaminari denki

again— this man is ALWAYS on tiktok, so he’s aware of most of the trends there. but that doesn’t make them any less scarier

but oh wow, he loves this trend. denki was just praying that you’d see it— and ask him to do it with you.

he was grateful that luck was on his side, since he was ecstatic when you skipped over to him— asking him to do a tiktok trend

“oh, what tiktok trend? wait— please tell me it doesn’t involve me breaking up with you for a week so you could listen to drivers licenses—”

“what? no— let me show you” and when you showed him the tiktok, he showed you this cheeky little smirk

“let’s do it! the sooner the better!” he says, and he seems more excited that you 💀

denki’s so enthusiastic, to the point that the first few takes are a total fail— as he makes you fall over your feet, as the result of quickly pulling you onto him for a kiss.

“denki— one of these days, you’re going to shatter my face”

“sorry, sorry!” he grins sheepishly. and it’s a miracle that he didn’t accidentally short circuit!

you guys try again, still persistent in getting at least a decent video, and this time— when he yanked you, causing you almost slip

he tightened his hold on you, a hand pressed against the small of your back and another hand dangerously close to your bank

the kiss is eager, passionate— and he holds you like you’re on the verge of death

and this flusters you because MAMDKWDK what happened to the goofiness 💀 i suppose that’s what happens when you have an eager denki kaminari.

you upload the video, thinking it would only get 5 likes at the very most— but it exceeds your expectations

though most people couldn’t get a clear view of your relationship dynamic with him, denki’s enthusiasm did attract the attention of 2.8M people

and in a good way, because the video did get 800k likes

the comments consisted of “when he caught you when you almost fell :,)” “damn he was EXCITED” “hey, have you told us where you got your boyfriend? i need the link to find someone like him NOW‼️‼️”

the bakusquad fawned over the video weirdly, but it quickly gets overplayed by denki— since that’s all he watched for a week or so 💀

monoma neito

bruh </3 as much as he loves you, you’re going to kill him with pranks one of these days.

he’s totally in on it if HE’S not the one being targeted, but most of the time,, neito’s the subject of your pranks

so he thinks it’s another silly prank, where you make him pick a number between 1-5 and ghost him for that many hours.

but when you show him the video one day, when you guys were chilling in your room— as per usual, he declined :,)

“sorry dear Y/N! but no. that’s my answer”

“but whyyy?? it’s so harmless!”

“the class is going to tease me for being a part with a silly tiktok like that.” and besides,, he’d be a hypocrite for participating in that kind of tiktok with someone from class 1-A.

in reality, he did want to do it. he wasn’t so sure on why he said no— but he does want to show that something so easy isn’t really a bother to him.

“oh- don’t be so sad about it! you know what?” he gently pulls you up, “let’s do it. i don’t care what those silly class 1-A kids will say anymore.”

“what? i thought you said you didn’t want to.”

“have you ever heard of a lie?” he clicks his tongue, but he’s glad that you’re feeling much better than you did 10 seconds ago.

when it comes to it, he’s actually really shy about it. not like a ‘i don’t want to be seen with you!’ more like ‘gosh, how many takes is this going to take? will i be able to kiss them properly?’

“what if i end up accidentally copying their quirk? neito— focus, damnit.” he thinks to himself, brushing the anxious feeling away.

he’s determined enough to stay focused— but man struggled a bit with cooperating with the heart shape.

“neito— not that heart!” “well, you said to make a heart, so i did!”

it takes a few tries for the greenscreen to cooperate, and for you guys to get in sync

and when he finally has to kiss you, he grins at you— a very obvious blush adorning his cheeks, as he smashes his lips with yours

then he remembers that he actually has to break free from you— and forces you guys apart, still trying to play it cool

“wow! i look awesome. only i could kiss you like that, right? i don’t need an answer, because i know it’s true!” he says with that proud laugh of his, but it immediately dissipates after the second replay

neito leaves you be, not only for you to upload the tiktok— but also because he needs to THINK WHAT JUST HAPPENED he’s running laps in his mind rn

you upload the tiktok, not worrying too much about it— as you wanted to let it sit for a while, before checking up on it

however— when you open your phone again, you get bombarded with multiple text messages from kendou, and the other class 1-b students.

“you and monoma went viral!” is what you can sum up about most of the messages, and you have to see for youself— wanting to know if the tiktok really did get 800k likes and 1.9M views in a short amount of time.

spoilers ‼️ — it did

the comments were mostly like “why can i smell the dynamic from a mile away 💔 i want that.” “he’s definitely annoying to everyone but you” “sHEESH the way he smirked before he kissed you 😩✋‼️‼️😔”

monoma flexes on a daily that he did that to your class— but he HATES how class 1-b wrecks havoc on him, by teasing him

in short— he does prefer this more than being scared. and! he didn’t have to verbally ask you for kisses 💀

hi there! may i request small frappé with pumpkin spice and whipped cream? childe x reader ty! this is my first time requesting so i hope i didnt do this wrong!!

Heya, dear anon! Thank you so much for your request, it was perfect and i had a lot of fun writing this. So, here's your drink: A small frappé with pumpkin spice and whipped cream on top. Hope you enjoy! <3 (Reblogs are very much appreciated.)

Prompts: fluff, fake dating, “You’re not wearing that, are you?” + “I don’t think I can do this anymore.” (400 followers event: JJ's coffee shop)

Be mine – Tartaglia x gn!reader (fake dating!AU, fluff)

“You’re not wearing that, are you?”

With furrowed brows, you looked at Tartaglia. He was standing behind you, watching you as you turned in front of the mirror to get a better look at your outfit. “Why?” you asked, a hint of confusion echoing in your voice. “Is there something wrong? Is it too much?”

“No,” he replied, and a smile flashed over his face as he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around your waist from behind. Resting his chin on your shoulder, he added, “It makes you look even prettier than you already are, to be honest. Everyone’s going to stare at you.” He nuzzled your cheek. “And I’m not sure if I like that thought.”

You felt your face growing hot at his words and tried to wriggle out of his hug. “Stop that,” you said with a sheepish grin. “No one’s here, there’s no need to act like we’re a couple.”

Tartaglia hummed in response and took a step back after releasing you from his hug, although he couldn’t deny that your words hurt him more than he liked to admit. He knew that you were right – the two of you weren’t really dating, after all. It was just a show you put on to stop your friends from constantly pestering you to finally find yourself a boyfriend. When you had asked him to pretend to be in a relationship with you for a while, Tartaglia hadn’t hesitated to help you. Up to this day, he hadn’t regretted it – well, a bit, maybe.

At first, it had been nothing more than a game and a secret the two of you shared – something that never failed to make you laugh when your friends weren’t around. But as the weeks passed, things had… changed. At least for him.

He had no idea how you felt about the whole situation, though. If you still thought about him as a friend or if his constant flirting did have some kind of effect on you… if you maybe had developed real, genuine feelings for him too. It was foolish, he knew that, but he couldn’t help but hold on to that thought whenever he saw you.

You watched him in the mirror, the way he stared into the distance absent-mindedly, his pretty blue eyes filled with something you couldn’t quite put your finger on. He often had that look on his face when he thought you weren’t noticing it but whenever you brought the topic up, he always told you that you were imagining things before he quickly changed the subject.

That didn’t stop you from asking, though. You turned around to face him, your left arm slightly outstretched, almost as if your body couldn’t decide if you wanted to reach out for him or not. “Hey,” you said, your voice a lot softer than you initially intended. “What’s wrong?”

It was fascinating to see how his facial expression changed almost immediately, how he put on a smile that could have fooled anyone but you. “I was just thinking that you’re right,” he replied and shrugged. “About us, I mean. We’re not a couple when your friends aren’t around, and I’m sorry if my actions made you feel uncomfortable.”

You let out a surprised laugh. “What made you think I was uncomfortable? I just – I don’t know, I guess I wanted to say that there’s no need to pretend anything when we’re alone. It’s not necessary and I don’t want to bother you. Um…” You shook your head, annoyed by your own stammering. “You’re not making me uncomfortable. That’s what I was trying to say.”

You watched as his smile slowly transformed into a more honest one, and suddenly, there was this warm feeling welling up inside you again. It had happened a few times already, mostly when he looked at you like you were the most precious thing he had ever seen or when he hugged you like he had done earlier but you had never bothered yourself with thinking about it. After all, he only acted like that because you had an agreement with each other, not because he actually cared about you… at least not in that way.

And it was fine, although you couldn’t deny that a part of you had always wondered what it would be like to be in a real relationship with him. He could be reckless and even kind of belligerent sometimes, yes, but when he was with you, he seemed to be a completely different man – caring and considerate, always trying his best to make you smile when you were upset or sad. He was your best friend, the one you could always rely on, no matter what happened.

And sometimes, just like in this moment, he was the one who made your heart skip a beat without even knowing it.

“We should go,” you said, shaking your head once again to get rid of the confusing thoughts that had come to your mind. “The others are probably already waiting for us.”

*

On your way back home, you couldn’t stop thinking about something your best friend had said to you. Sometimes, you couldn’t help but wonder if they secretly knew that your relationship with Tartaglia wasn’t real but since you didn’t want to risk anything, you had decided to let sleeping dogs lie a while ago. Maybe they didn’t know it, anyway but something about the way they looked at you when they told you how happy you could be to have someone like him in your life, had suggested that they were well aware of your fake dating. “If you weren’t so cute together, I would be so jealous, really,” they had added with a grin, darting a glance at Tartaglia who had been joking around with one of your other friends at this point. “He’s awesome, (Y/N). Don’t mess this up, okay?”

The words were still echoing in your mind. How could you mess it up if everything wasn’t even real? Of course you knew what they were trying to say but at some point, you would have no other choice than messing everything up because you either had to tell your friends toe truth or act like you and Tartaglia had broken up. You couldn’t force him to play along forever, after all.

Sooner or later, he would find someone and fall in love for real, and then you would have to let him go, no matter how awful it felt to imagine him being with someone else. The thought hurt – and at the same time, it made you absolutely furious.

You stopped in your tracks, confused by the sudden anger that welled up inside of you when you thought about Tartaglia’s hypothetical future partner. Just because he would start to date someone, you definitely weren’t going to lose him; he would still be your friend. The only thing that would change was the fact that he would no longer act like he was head over heels in love with you.

And that was the moment it finally hit you.

The problem wasn’t that you were afraid of losing your friend. The problem was that you didn’t want him to fall in love with someone else – you wanted him to love you, actually love you, not just pretending like he had done for the past couple of weeks.

It was absolutely crazy, you knew that. He had agreed to fool your friends with you for a while because he thought it sounded like fun but actually developing feelings for each other hadn’t been a part of the deal. It had been completely out of the question, even.

Heck, why did everything have to become so complicated all of a sudden? Why did you have to fall for him? Everything he did, every hug, every kiss… all of that was part of your charade. He didn’t do it because he had romantic feelings for you.

Right?

You couldn’t help but remember the scene from earlier when he had hugged you in front of the mirror, implying that he’d be jealous if someone else would start to admire you. There had been no one around to see; he didn’t have to talk to you like that – and still, he had done it. And he had hugged you in a way that still made your heart beat faster.

Damn it. You needed to talk to him.

You needed to talk to him right now.

You turned around and rushed back to the restaurant where you had parted ways maybe fifteen minutes ago. He wasn’t there anymore but you knew that he sometimes went for a walk near the docks because he liked to listen to the sound of the waves, so you decided to look for him there.

It wasn’t too hard to find him – and as he spotted you approaching him through the crowd, a soft smile flashed over his face. “Did you miss me already?” he asked in a teasing tone that usually would have caused you to roll your eyes. But right now, it just made you feel more insecure.

“I need to talk to you,” you said. Admittedly, it wasn’t the smoothest conversation starter but you were way too nervous to bother yourself with being particularly eloquent in that moment. “About us.”

He raised his eyebrows. “About us?”

“About the whole situation,” you explained. “The relationship thing we have going on. I – I don’t think I can do this anymore. It just… it just feels wrong to pretend like we are dating when we’re not. I don’t know why I came up with that idea in the first place, it’s so stupid and I’m sorry for dragging you into this and-“

“Whoa, slow down, (Y/N),” Tartaglia interrupted you and furrowed his brows. “What are you talking about? I told you many times that I don’t mind helping you. I know your friends, I realize that they can be quite annoying when it comes to… well, your love life. You’re not taking advantage of me if that’s what you’re concerned about.”

You buried your face in your hands for a few seconds and let out a frustrated groan. “That’s not the reason I want to end this, Tartaglia,” you said. “I want to end it because it just feels wrong. We don’t love each other – we shouldn’t pretend that we do. It’s… it’s just not right.”

“Who says I don’t love you?”

You had expected every answer from him but not something like this. With wide eyes, you stared at him, searching his face for a sign that he was joking, that he was trying to fluster you like he already did a million times but his expression was unusually serious. “What?”

“Who says I don’t love you?” he repeated patiently. “You said it’s not right to pretend that we love each other. But the truth is that I’m not pretending anymore. So, it’s not wrong, is it?”

You couldn’t reply. Your thoughts were racing as your brain tried to comprehend what he had just told you but you felt like you weren’t able to think straight at all. Not when all you could think about was that he loved you.

Tartaglia stepped closer, gently cupping your face with his hands. “I love you,” he said, the tone of his voice so earnest that it send a shiver down your spine. “And I think that you may love me too, so if that’s the case could you please say something? Or – I don’t know, blink twice, maybe?”

“Shut up,” you said, finally snapping out of your state of shock. “Shut up and kiss me.”

Unnecessary Feelings

The Host x gn!reader

ty anon for the request

A/N: BRO. Bro. Bro I. I am so proud of this one don’t even look at me. Also happy spooky month! Might do something with that, idk though. This is more of another character study with the Host, I’ll be honest. I still think it’s pretty cute, though. I didn’t read back through this, lmk about any mistakes. Enjoy!

Unnecessary Feelings

Host isn’t particularly looking for a relationship, of any sort. Not necessarily. It would be nice, but it isn’t at the forefront of his mind. It’s not that important. Change is weird. He’s been in his same office, writing the same kind of stories, with the same kind of people. That’s fine. He likes that. He likes his novels, his protagonists, and his office.

He explained all of these things to Wilford and Darkiplier, but neither was having it. That’s how he ended up staying at the manor for a while, while his place was being “renovated”. He didn’t know how much he trusted Wilford to “renovate” correctly. 

Wilford likes pink. A lot. Host doesn’t. He can't see it, but he knows it. Pink was loud. Pink smelled like raspberries and icing and cherry blossoms and shrimp. It sounded like fair music and joyful screaming and chalk scraping on the ground. It felt smooth and soft and squishy. It tasted like sugar, sugar, sugar, too much to be healthy. Pink made his brain hurt. He doesn’t like pink. Wilford likes pink. Wilford… Wilford fucking loves pink. And Wilford will say it’s pink, and Host will know it’s pink, and even though he can’t see it, he’ll be upset that it’s pink. He doesn’t like pink. He doesn’t know how to say it. So he doesn’t. And he copes.

He takes the opportunity to talk to the others staying at the manor, which was pretty much just Dr. Iplier and… you. Dr. Iplier was a… reasonable man. He was boring. Very boring, really. He directed every conversation to discuss your health or a weird patient he had recently, neither of which really interested the Host. He didn’t enjoy talking to Dr. Iplier too much. 

You, however…

Were also kind of boring?

Well, you mostly just wandered around, reading, cleaning, sleeping, not doing much else. He didn’t initiate conversation and neither did you. If you sat next to him on the couch and he sat a little straighter and breathed a little faster, that was simply a coincidence. And the urge to talk to you about his novel for hours was simply boredom. And the desire to listen to you talk for hours was… it was none of your goddamn business is what it was. He didn’t like you, but he didn’t dislike you either. He felt nothing. You made him feel nothing. This didn’t mean anything.

Really. 

It didn’t.

But, entirely too fast, Dark and Wil were done. Or rather, whoever they hired was done. Which was good. Host bid you two goodbye. Dr. Iplier told him to drink plenty of water but not too much, and you told him you’d keep an eye out for his newest novel. He felt like he should be blushing right now, he felt it in his face. Nobody commented, so he assumed he didn’t. He felt a thing happen in his chest as he looked at the two of you. 

He didn’t like either of you, and if he kept telling himself that, maybe it would come true.

He received a new office. It was much cleaner and brighter, and he actually had room to think. There was an espresso machine in the corner atop a pink table, a “dandelion” yellow couch next to it, a pastel pink desk against the opposite wall, and a few “motivational” posters on the baby blue walls. At least from what he’d heard. Wilford did his best to explain the room. He appreciated that the walls were not, in fact, pink like he expected.

He had to walk around a few times, keep track of his steps, and get used to the new layout. It’s a good room. Clean. No nails sticking out of the floor, no rats scurrying around, no cobwebs, no holes, no nothing. Clean and quiet. Clean. And. Quiet.

… 

He fucking hates the goddamn room.

Who likes silence? Who enjoys that? Who wants to be stuck in a suffocatingly clean office with nothing but their thoughts for hours at a time? Homicidal people, that’s who.

Ignore the fact that he has homicidal tendencies and has almost killed/has killed several people, that doesn’t matter right now.

He can just sit and deal. He can take the office, try to coax the rats into coming back, buy some spiders, and write. No big deal.

Except what if he didn’t deal? What if he told them he hated it and couldn’t work in these conditions? What if he was forced to stay at the manor again? What if he could… talk… and interact with people? Without anything barring him from doing so?

He’s… not lonely. 

He’s not lonely. 

He’s not.

But if he stays in the manor again while Wilford talks about how he has no taste and Darkiplier decides to be in charge of the renovation now, that’s not his fault.

Bim, Eric, and you were staying at the manor when he had to. For the second time. Bim had a thing for rom-coms and dramedy movies, and Eric had started to pick that thing up. You and Host also watched the movies, but whether you actually liked them was beyond him. Usually, you made fun of them together. He couldn’t see them, but he could hear a lot of the ridiculous dialogue. He could drop two random people in a closed-off room together and they’d have more chemistry than half of these Hallmark Christmas Movie couples. You were very quiet during “To All The Boys I Loved Before”, however, so either you loved it or you hated it. He couldn’t really tell.

You two talked a little less than before, you being preoccupied with Eric. Host was fine with that. He could just… talk to you whenever you were done. But you apparently had a low social battery and trapped yourself in a room whenever you were done talking to Eric. That was fine. Host didn’t need to be happy anyways. 

He may or may not have showed up at your door first thing in the morning sometimes to get the chance to talk to you. You didn’t know, so it was fine.

But Eric and Bim were smart. They picked up on the Host’s… “feelings” and desire to talk to you. If either were in a room with you and Host, they immediately left so that you could talk. It worked, and Host was happy, but he felt kind of bad.

No. No he didn’t. He felt no emotion towards anyone or anything. The suit he bought for Bim and the journal he bought for Eric meant absolutely nothing. It was a business transaction. You can’t prove anything.

Somehow quicker than before, the room was fixed. Again. And you, Eric, and Bim saw him off. Eric’s voice sounded wet and Bim sounded a little sad as well. You sounded… fine. But he had a suspicion that you knew you were going to see him again soon. And Host was not upset, of course not. And if he was thankful his eyes weren’t exactly working properly because otherwise he might have shed a few tears, it was completely unrelated. You can’t prove anything.

The new room was completely black and white. Black laptop and a white desk with a black chair. White walls and a black floor. A white couch against the wall. No espresso machine this time, which slightly disappointed the Host. 

Darkiplier sounded proud when he explained the room. Host could see why, it sounded very pretty. Which he tried to say when he turned to Darkiplier. But his traitorous mouth instead said:

“Host asks if this room is meant for the Host or you?”

The Host was teleported back to the manor this time. Wilford was standing out in front, Host knew because he heard the man’s distinct yell of surprise. He also smelled gunsmoke and wine.

“Wilford.”

“Host. What are you doing here?”

“The Host asks what you are doing here?”

“... I asked you first.”

“The Host asked you second.”

“... business. You?”

“... business.”

“Ah… well, cheers.” Quick footsteps get quieter as Wilford runs away. Host stood for a moment,  debating whether or not to apologize to Dark. Before he could decide, the door opened.

“Host?” You asked. Host instantly felt himself straighten up and ball his fists.

“Hello.” He said stiffly.

“Another renovation?” He heard the smile in your voice and forced himself not to smile back.

“Host assumes so.” He nodded.

“So…” You sighed.

“So?” He tilted his head.

“Are you coming in?” You asked. Host let himself smile as he walked into the manor.

He didn’t see you all too much for the rest of the week, and he was severely disappointed. There wasn’t really anybody staying there, just a few people visiting over a few days. Yancy, Illinois, and maybe Bing, if the sound of a skateboard at 3 in the morning was any clue. He was pretty much alone. And that was fine. He was usually alone. He was used to it. This was fine.

Maybe he should stop lying to himself so often.

All too soon, he was on his way back. Again. You were the only one to see him off this time.

“Well… um…” You started. The tension between you two was like a punch to the gut. You were perfectly fine before. What happened?

“Host bids you farewell,” He nodded politely and turned around. Maybe if he left quickly, it wouldn’t hurt as much.

“Wait, Host!” You called. He froze. “I’m, uh… I’m coming with you.” He spun around to face you.

“Host… asks what you mean?”

“I wanna… see your office. I mean, if I’m… allowed to visit?” You said meekly. Host felt his heart quicken.

“The Host would love-like that,” He coughed as he corrected himself. 

“Ok, good,” He could hear the smug smile in your voice. Damn him and his… feelings.

The commute to his thrice-new office was almost silent. Neither of you said anything. You most likely wanted to wait for the Host to start the conversation, but he didn’t want to bother you if you didn’t want to talk. It was a little awkward. But after a while, it became comfortable. He liked just being in your presence.

He thought that was what he would miss most about the manor.

You both stood outside of his office door when you arrived.

“Well… here we are.” You whispered. Host nodded solemnly. “Do you want to do the honors.” Host lifted his hand to the doorknob, feeling himself shake. He clutched the doorknob, not moving an inch. He could feel your eyes on him. You were worried. This was fine. 

You could visit. But what if you didn’t want to? What if you saw his stories? What if you thought he was cruel? He was, but not to you. He would never be to you. He could stop. He could write different stories. He could write a romance! It would still affect people’s lives, but for the better? At least until the story ended and he had no control over it. What if you wanted him to stop? He couldn’t just stop. Would you give him an ultimatum? You wouldn’t… would you?

“Host--” You started. He whipped around to face you.

“The Host does not want to enter the room.” He said, voice wavering a little. He cleared his throat. Embarrassing.

“What? Ho-”

“The Host wants to talk to people. The Host… wants friends. The Host wants to stay with you and the others.” He grits out. God, this was pathetic. Was he begging? 

“Host, open the door.” You sighed. The Host froze. What? Why were you… what?

Oh. So that was it. You were seeing him off… for the last time. You didn’t… you… didn’t like… 

Right. Yeah. You were a polite person. He should’ve known.

“But…” He trailed off and faced the floor.

“Host, I really think you should open the door,” You said, the smile clear in your voice. His eyebrows furrowed. Well, you didn’t have to be so eager about it, Jesus.

The Host grabbed the doorknob and threw the door open with a crack against the wall.

“Jesus, man!” Bim’s distinct game show voice sounded from inside the room. Left front corner. “What’s got your boxers in a bunch?”

“I always thought he was a boxer-briefs man.” Dr. Iplier said from the opposite side.

“I can confirm that he is, in fact, a boxer-briefs man.” Google said from the same place as Dr. Iplier.

“I honestly would’ve thought commando.” Eric’s voice was muffled, as if he was facing away from everyone else.

What… What the fuck?

“What. The fuck.” He said loudly. You clapped a hand on his shoulder, making him jump.

“Surprise! We’re invading your office. Please don’t resist.” He could, again, hear the smirk on your face. He almost wanted to be mad. Almost.

“What?” He turned to you. You let go of him and stepped in.

“We fixed your room! You got your bland-ass beige walls, your hardwood floor, cobwebs, dust, and I think there’s a rat somewhere in the walls…”

“His name is Remy!” Eric said happily.

“Sorry, Remy is somewhere in the walls.” Host didn’t move, still processing this whole situation.

“The Host… doesn’t understand…” He rubbed his temples.

“Well, you seemed… lonely. And we like spending time with you. So… we’re gonna spend time with you!” Bim explained.

“You don’t have to do things alone anymore. Just… call someone up and we’ll come hang out.” Dr. Iplier said.

“Only if you ask, though.” Eric added softly. Host didn’t move for a long while.

The others began to fidget, thinking they did something wrong. Eventually, he took a breath, and everyone else held theirs.

“Is… is the Host’s equipment still here?” He asked.

“Your writing stuff? Yeah, it’s on the desk.” You answered. Host went quiet again, thinking.

“Do… You guys want to help the Host write something?” He mumbled.

“Hell yeah we do!” You clapped your hands once. Host made his way over to his desk. All the others, including you, crowded around him as soon as he sat down, pushing each other to get a good look.

This was slightly claustrophobic and pretty uncomfortable… 

…

It was perfect.

Hi! Can I please request Langa with a tough on the outside soft on the inside skater s/o? Maybe if they r competitive and love challenges. Ty!

Thank you Anon, it was really cute!!💖

Langa with a tough on the outside soft on the inside skater s/o

I will start with a personal note, I really love the dynamic between you two

He spotted you one time when he was skating alone through the town, doing tricks on railings and other objects in the park, he felt some kind of excitement watching you nailing every obstacle

He tried to catch up with you, but he was too far away when he finally decided to go after you, and he almost got lost while he was trying to find you poor baby

After that, he saw you a few more times, but you always got out of his sight so quickly that. Somehow the chase after you made him want to talk to you even more 

He told about you to Reki but he was not sure who he was talking about, assuming that you should be someone new.

As he was still talking about you later that day with such adoration, he teased him playfully about him falling in love at first sight with you

He got so embarrassed and he instantly denied Reki's teasing, saying that he was only interested in your skating

But oh boy, that got thrown into the trash quickly when he saw you later on S

He grabbed Reki's arms so hard that he yelped haha

And after watching you having a duel with some random guy who mocked you, it was almost obvious even for him that yeah, you stole his heart

You won, of course

He was really hesitant to approach you but Shadow and Miya pepped him up while Reki went to catch you before disappearing again, although he was almost sure that he won't be able to find you  that night

So he was so surprised when you finally stood in front of him with a confident smirk on your face

"So you're the one who wanted to challenge me?"

That left him speechless. He turned over to look at Reki, but he only saw his friends back as they left him alone with you

"Damn you guys, lying like that to someone as cool as this person"

His wide eyes shifted to you, you were so beautiful and inviting, but the promise of the duel made him quickly forgot that he was nervous

Langa just nodded, and you two had the most exciting race ever

Let's just forget about the existence of Adam now lol

It felt different from anything you experienced before, you felt free and somehow connected during the whole time, it really left both of you in an awe

It was so close that no one was able to tell which one you crossed the finish line first

After that, you were the one who approached him first, after spotting him and Reki practicing in the park, Langa was surprised but very happy to see you

From that day, you joined in with them, hanging out and having fun with Langa and his friends

It didn't take long for you two to warm up to each other

Your tough attitude made him confused sometimes, but after seeing you getting a little softer from certain triggers, he was more sure about his feelings

It makes him smile every time when you let yourself get more vulnerable before him, he would never tease you about it, but would try to tell you how much he appreciates it

Which made you so embarrassed for the first two times that you immediately got more tough than usual, seeing your discomfort, Langa promised himself that in the future he will only bask in the moment, without saying a word

He would stand up for you in front of anyone who would dare to mock you about your softer side, even if it makes you a little uncomfortable at first

He loves your competitive side, these constant little races and competitions push you both to get even better and reach higher levels, and it's also a great bonding opportunity

Langa doesn't mind you being tough, in fact, it makes him love you even more, he respects your strength and strong demeanor but adores every little moment when you show him your other side.

Hi! I'm a huge fan as of a week ago when I discovered designation miracle and speedread through all of it. I really love your writing so much, so I had to ask: please please write a reki/langa piece? It can be AU/scifi/fantasy anything you like, and doesn't have to be long but I would so love to see your fic/minific! also, i saw that you had posted about tying the kuroko fantasy AU together -- have you thought of looking at 1001 nights instead of grimms, they have a lot of nested stories

It doesn't take him long to figure out that 1) he died and 2) apparently reincarnated in the body of Kyan Reki, minor trash character in Ice Infinity, long-running web novel series he used to read because his younger sister made him. Which, holy shit, he did not think that actually happened, and apparently he should have paid more attention to transmigration web novels instead of skating. (Nope, that wouldn't have happened. He loved skating. Still loves skating. This is clearly his little sister's fault, for being fond of dark fantasy harem novels instead of transmigration novels.)

He tugs his floofy red hair and thinks that this isn't the worst possible novel to wake up in, but it's pretty bad. At least he's familiar with the story line. Protagonist Hasegawa Langa, aka Prince of Ice and Snow, was cursed as a baby (although he doesn't know it) to have a frozen heart. He competes in a (very long, drawn-out) magic tournament, and becomes super awesome magic ruler of all time, but each battle brings out a darker side of him, and the more evil he gets, the more the world begins to ice over. This is, in part, due to the manipulations of Demon Lord Adam, who wants Langa's powers for himself. Meanwhile, various women try to "unfreeze the prince's heart" or whatever, with the implication that if someone managed to melt his broken heart, the world wouldn't be destroyed by ice.

(Reki gave his sister so much shit for liking this story. It was still ongoing, and the world was almost destroyed by ice. There'd been, like, fifty different women who were potential love interests throughout this saga, and the Prince still had a frozen heart. Also, he was pretty evil at that point. Reki's not sure what the appeal is, although now that he's in the book, he's at least grateful that he knows what's coming.)

The problem is, Kyan Reki dies in the first chapter. Killed by Langa, in fact, which Reki (now that he is Reki) does not appreciate. Reki was a brash, arrogant jerk, with low level fire magic. He was Langa's first opponent in the tournament, and had insulted the memory of Langa's dead father, which is what provoked the killing. Langa hadn't meant to kill Reki, but the accidental murder is what started the long path towards evil, frozen heart, and the end of the world.

So now that Reki knows what's coming he thinks, Well, I'll just not do that then.

Seems simple enough. He comes up with a Plan of Survival: He won't compete in the magic tournament, he'll stay away from the Ice Prince, and maybe move to a tropical island or something. He doesn't like the idea of the world freezing over, but that seems like a problem far in the future. And hey, this world doesn't have skateboards, but it has all the materials he needs to make skateboards, which means it's not so bad, as fantasy worlds go. Fire magic is pretty cool too.

Step one: withdraw from tournament. Easily done! Everyone looks surprised when he announces his withdrawal. Shadow says, "What are you talking about?? We're supposed to have our grudge match! Weren't you telling everyone that you were going to kick their asses?"

Wow, that's embarrassing. Reki wishes he woke up earlier in the book, before his character made stupid brags. "Nope, I'm good. Have fun, though!"

Step two: Stay away from the Ice Prince. This also seems like it should be fairly easy, since Reki isn't going to the magic tournament.

Except the very next day he practically runs into Langa on his newly made skateboard.

"AH! Ice Prince!" Reki says from the ground.

"What?" Langa says.

Oh right, no one calls him that yet.

"That's, uh, the name of my skateboard," Reki says. He gets up and dusts his pants, and then moves to retrieve his board. He spins one of the wheels and then, mostly to himself, he says, "I think I need to adjust the balance."

"Your what?" Langa says, looking over Reki's shoulder.

Reki tenses, feeling very close to death right now. Don't insult his dead father. Don't insult his dead father. "My skateboard," he says. "For skating." And then, because he can't help himself, he brags, "I made it."

"You did?" Langa says. His voice doesn't reveal a lot of emotion (frozen heart, and all) but he sounds impressed. "Is that what you were doing earlier? With the loops?"

"Oh, you saw that?" Reki says, embarrassed.

"Do you have wind magic?"

"Nope, just fire," Reki says. Then, remembering their fight to the death, hastily adds, "Low level fire magic. Very low fire. Practically nonexistent, really."

"And you still flew in the air like that?" Langa says.

"Because of the skateboard!" Reki balances on the board and circles around Langa so he can get a good look.

"Is it for transportation?"

"It's for a lot of things! But mostly, it's for fun!" If he accomplishes nothing else but introduce skateboarding into this fantasy world, Reki feels like he'll have made an important legacy. Then, because Langa still looks intrigued, Reki says, "Do you want to try?"

"Can I?" Langa says, sounding surprised by the invite.

"Sure! Anyone can skate." Reki hops off the board and shows Langa how to get on, all the while revisiting his Plan for Survival.

He doesn't really want the world to freeze over. And that Adam guy is a dick. Langa probably wouldn't have killed so many people if Adam hadn't been manipulating things in the background. Maybe... maybe Reki should stick around Langa, show him how to have fun, introduce him to some nice girls, and keep him from turning evil and destroying the world.

He completely misses the marveling look Langa is giving him, like he's just seen something wonderful.

A/N: Thank you, anon-friend! I'm glad you enjoy my stories. I've been wanting to write something for SK8 but wasn't sure what kind of AU I should do. Since I've been reading and watching a lot of Isekai lately, and I've never written that as an AU before, I thought this would be fun! Hope you enjoyed! (also, I kinda want to stick with Grimm, but would consider branching out for other fairy tale stories!)
