writing this from an anime only perspective but the fact that there's literally zero outsider pov for jjk is genuinely a CRIME. Like there's so much it's perfect.
There was that one security guy who caught yuuji and nanami going into a crime scene, there's junpei's bullies, theres EVERYBODY AT SHIBUYA STATION.
HELLO???
Where's my social media fic? Where's my group therapy for shibuya survivors fic? wheres my fucking conspiracy theorist fics huh?? HUH?? DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF AROUND HERE?????
Edit: adding on to this, more ideas (if anyone wants to write these please please please)
a fic from the girl at nanami's bakery pov, or takada(?, the guy from itafushikugi's first mission w/ the special grade)'s mom pov\

Absolutely in love with that moment where a character goes “I could be in love with you very easily.” I LOVE IT, okay, because it’s like,, this moment where someone actually stops and makes falling in love a choice, like they realize the direction that they’re headed in and decide that they like it, that yes this is a person they would like to be in love with, so this is allowed to happen actually.
Give me this realization in soft moments between good friends. Give me this realization in intense moments between people who are no longer quite enemies, but aren’t sure what they are. Give me this realization with a tinge of panic, because it would be so easy to fall in love with them, and they don’t actually want to want this, but they do. I want all the variations of this, please and thank you

What Your Favorite Worm Ship Says About You
some people have found my crusty, old ass tumblr post on this very topic, so im making a new one with my updated opinions! Cause those are, in fact, allowed to change. Enjoy! Taylor x Lisa: you're into relationships that could be dysfunctional or healthy with one push in either direction. also something something sun lesbian moon lesbian. Taylor x Rachel: You love dogs, and you want a girlfriend who can kick your ass. You're also into bomber jackets. I respect you. Taylor x Alec: Sadly, you do exist, and you did make it weird. Go away! Taylor x Amy: You read altpowers on the daily and complain about canon worm being too grimdark. Solid odds on you having never read worm. To be clear, it's worse if you have. also something something FBI OPEN UP Taylor x Victoria: You like the vibes of Lisa and Taylor's dynamic, but you want them to be a little more heroic and a little less dysfunctional. But only a little. Taylor x Clockblocker: You're straight and liked that one joke that cropped up. I also haven't seen any of you in a hot minute, thank god. No offense but this ship is mad boring.
Taylor x Sophia: You've come to realize that Sophia is a great character who gets done extremely dirty by the rest of the fandom. Also, rivals to lovers. Taylor x Emma: This can go one of two ways. Either you adore childhood friends to lovers, or you love enemies to lovers. Either way, you're obsessed with hurt and/or comfort fics. Taylor x Theo: You actually read Worm and recognize that Theo is criminally underrated in the fandom. Now just stop shipping him with Taylor and you'll complete the next step on your journey to enlightenment.
Taylor x Simurgh: I can't say for sure you're a anime fan, but you're definitely at least a little bit of a monsterfucker. also something something inherent eroticism of being world-destroying power couple. Taylor x Greg. You read Worm SI's unironically and get really defensive when people say that Greg is an incel. Completely unrelated, you haven't spoken to a woman other then your mother in five years. Taylor x Cherie: I've been informed this is a ship. I've yet to be informed as of a reason why I should like it. Cherie likers stay mad!
Lisa x Rachel: I don't remember the last time I saw this ship that wasn't also tagged as a polycule with Taylor, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're an OT3 enjoyer.
Lisa x Victoria: You’re into the “enemies to lovers” trope, but more of the "Spiderman x Black Cat" type then the "you murdered my entire home town but i can't help but find you sexy" type. Also you have a thing for blondes
Lisa x Faultline: Your ideal relationship dynamic is bickering married couple. You're also into heist movies.
Lisa x Simurgh: You have a thing for smart girls... who hate you. Also, you really liked Part of the Whole.  Contessa x Alexandria: You're fucking based. Also something something inherent eroticism of girlbosses winning Contessa x Numberman: you're friends with Peri and enjoy memes about pants and math Numberman x Jack Slash: You think serial killers are hot and are starved for m/m ships. Danny x Eidolon: You're losersexual and are starved for m/m ships. Also you frequent r/wormemes Danny x Miss Militia: Honestly, i think you all died out. I couldn't be happier, this ship is fucking dumb. Amy x Literally Anyone Besides Taylor: listen, there's like a hundred different jokes i could make here, but all of them boil down to amy defenders always defending the rapist for some reason so let's just agree amy defenders are fucking cringe and move on Dragon x Defiant: You understand that this is unironically the only healthy relationship in worm with some of the best character growth and romance in the entire story, and a majority of all of it happens off screen. You're extremely bitter that so many fanfics do both of them so dirty they get beaten into different characters. Alec x Aisha: You like the idea of this ship, cause two pranksters making everyone miserable is the kinda vibe you enjoy, but constantly run into the issue that Alec is...well. Alec. That or you're into Alec's brand of shit, in which case, FBI OPEN UP Aisha x Missy: You read It's Cold Out There Every Day. I did too. Fuck, this fic is so good. I'm going to go cry about the ending again. Lily x Sabah: Yes, you know the age gap is a little problematic, you just want to be happy with your relatively healthy canon lesbians goddamn it Purity x Literally Anyone: You don't understand why people keep calling you racist. You're not! You're just weirdly defensive of the hot milf who murders people of color and seem to constantly bring up that Kaiser didn't actually believe the nazi propaganda he was peddling. You are racist btw Taylor x Brian: You...are Wildbow

Top 5 Paul boyfriends
omg marry me
(these are in no particular order)
-Robert Fraser aka Groovy Bob aka Paul’s emotional support art dealer/drug dealer/fag :’) Most interesting man of the swinging London era! There’s something so special and soft about how Paul always talks about Robert. “I expect people to die so I don't feel a loss but there's a vacuum where he used to be.” And in a letter sent from Paul to Robert when Robert was in prison from The Rolling Stones drug bust, “Jane sends her love, love, and is baking a file cake. I send mine.” aughhh <\3
-Tara Browne… I wish there was more written about him! We know he was very important to Paul. He was the person Paul first took acid with and was with Paul in the Great Liverpool Moped Accident of ‘65! I always wondered why Paul invited him to Liverpool for his family holiday asdkskj. Paul describes him as “a nice Irish guy, very sensitive bloke. I’d see him from time to time, and enjoyed being around him.” which is basically a declaration of passionate love in paul-speak.
-Peter Asher! Underrated Paul boyfriend. I’m not saying Paul only stayed with Jane as long as he did because he had a whole thing for her family… but I’m not NOT saying that. The songs he gave him! The wrapping paper he designed and kept secret as a gift to Peter and the Indica gallery!
(I’ll also just mention Paul’s never ending kink for high society types. He loved hearing Robert talk about his time at Eton, specifically the ‘fagging system’. Tara was heir to the Guinness fortune, not to mention son of a member of the House of Lords. The whole Asher family was a wet dream come true.)
-Denny Laine (is in my ears and in my eyes..🎶) listen. LISTEN. Look at any picture of Paul, Linda, and Denny in the wings era and tell me they weren’t a god’s honest throuple. You can’t. I know it in my life’s blood they got it on down and dirty for YEARS. Linda especially is allll over him in so many pictures and I don’t blame her! He’s a cutie! But they all had fuck-nasty sex.
-John Lennon. Yes, the world’s greatest and most tragic love story etc etc. fanfic tropes galore! Meet cute, mutual pining, only one bed, father doesn’t approve, found family, let’s run away together etc etc
Me: so anyway John had mommy issues and Paul had daddy issues. And John was sort of daddy and Paul was sort of mommy but they just weren’t enough for each other. They were somehow the most and least compatible people on the planet but the love was there and it changed everything.
My mom: 👁️👄👁️

So for all the people who love disventure camp and think it’s criminally underrated, here is a fanfic of Alenick (Alec x Nick) in Alec’s pov. If you don’t know who the hell these two are or what disventure camp is and you just like enemies to lovers tropes, this is great for you.
A little note before we get started: I wouldn’t say this fanfic is very inappropriate, (SPOILERS) they do make out once and they swear a bit but otherwise there’s nothing too bad. Now I won’t keep you any longer so please enjoy my fanfic and I would really appreciate it if you left a nice comment and liked. Thank you, ily :) <333
I sighed as I pulled into the parking lot of the public library, stopping my car’s engine and staring out the driver’s seat window at the library.
“Just another excruciatingly long day of work.” I yawned and took my glasses off to rub my eyes, then wiped the lenses off and shoved them back on my nose.
I turned my head back to my steering wheel and blinked sleepiness out of my eyes. But that didn’t work. Before I knew it, my eyelids drooped and my forehead dropped down hard onto the wheel. Right onto the horn. The horn let out a painfully loud beep.
I jumped back quickly, my hand over my chest. Now that definitely woke me up. I straightened my glasses and unbuckled my seatbelt. I grabbed my tote bag off the passenger seat, slipped it over my shoulder, and shoved open the car door. I slowly stepped out and took a breath of fresh air. Then I sighed again and pushed the door closed.
But as I tried to walk, something was keeping me back. I looked behind me and saw my bag was stuck inside the car door.
“Aw, great! Just another thing to add to my list of reasons why today is gonna be a bad day.” I pulled on my bag a little, then after it didn’t come out of the car door, I slipped it off my shoulder, grabbed the straps, and pulled with all my might.
The bag immediately flew out of the door, causing me to flop onto the asphalt like I’d been shot. I quickly stood up, grabbed my bag off the ground, and slipped it back over my shoulder. I brushed dirt off my blue vest, then headed towards the library.
As I walked across the parking lot, a blue car came driving right towards me. I quickly turned my head to the car, stopping right in front of it like a deer in headlights.
The driver beeped at me so I stared directly into the windshield. I couldn’t see who the driver was but I stuck up my middle finger at them and shouted, “Fucking moron! Watch where you’re driving!” I walked up the front steps to the library and pushed open the door.
I walked behind the front desk and set my tote bag under the desk, then flopped down in my chair and sighed. I picked my phone out of my pocket and opened up my camera. I flipped it to face me and looked at my exhausted face on the screen. I had large bags under my eyes.
I shoved my phone back in my pocket and leaned down to shuffle around in my bag, then pulled out my current reread, The House In the Cerulean Sea, and flipped it open until I found my bookmark. I set the bookmark on the table, crossed my legs, and started to read.
I was deep into my book when I heard the door open. I paid no attention to it until the door slammed shut and scared me half to death, causing me to drop my book on the floor. As the book toppled, my page was lost. And I don’t even remember what page I was even on!
“Shit,” I mumbled under my breath. “Nothing’s gonna go my way today, huh?” I got out of my chair and onto the floor. I picked up my book and went to stand back up but I banged my head on the table.
I stood back up, rubbing my head. “Fu-” I stopped myself as I saw a woman and a little girl standing at the desk. “-dgesicles. Fudgesicles.” I calmly placed my book on the desk next to the computer and asked the woman, “What can I do for you ladies today?”
“I just wanted to check these books out,” the woman said, placing a copy of The House In the Cerulean Sea on the desk, along with a pile of every Magic Treehouse book.
I took The House In the Cerulean Sea off the desk and scanned it. I smiled at the woman and said, “This is such a good read. I’m currently rereading it for, what, the five-hundredth time?”
The woman laughed and said, “I heard it was really good. Glad to know you liked it.”
My smile grew wider and I started scanning the Magic Treehouse books. “These for you?” I asked the little girl.
She smiled wide and said, “Yeah! I’m really excited to read them!”
The woman giggled and said, “She’s such an avid reader.”
“Just like me when I was a kid. I read the whole Harry Potter series in 1 month when I was 12.”
The woman raised her eyebrows in surprise. “That’s shocking. Not even I could do that.”
“I just can’t go a day without a good book to dive into. I’m so glad that the youth still likes reading. I looked at the little girl with a warm smile on my face. “I’m sure you’ll be a great reader as you get older.”
The little girl just smiled wide and clapped her hands together. I looked back at the woman and asked, “Can I have your card?”
The woman dug around in her coat pocket, then pulled out a red library card and handed it to me. I took it diligently and scanned it for her. I typed something down on my computer, then handed her a date due slip. “Make sure to bring the books back by this date.” I stacked The House In the Cerulean Sea on top of the Magic Treehouse books and pushed the pile to the woman. “Have a nice day.”
The woman took the stack of books off the desk and said, “Thank you. Have a nice day.” The little girl stayed close to her mom’s side as they walked out the door.
I sighed, picked up my book, and tried to find my page. “My day’s already going terrible so that’s off the market.” As I flipped through the pages I couldn’t help but think… that little girl kind of reminded me of…
No. I can’t bring her back to my mind. I just can’t think of Fiore on my already terrible day. We’d had a father-daughter relationship, yet she’d still betrayed me.
I found my page and started reading where I left off. I barely got through a sentence when I heard my boss’s voice behind me, “Alec, take your nose out of that book for a second. I just hired a new guy to help you behind the front desk.”
I put my bookmark in between the pages and said, “I don’t need any help. I can do my job perfectly.” I crossed my legs and turned my chair around. I gasped as I saw the guy standing next to my boss.
He was a face I knew all too well, a face I couldn’t stand to look at. Blonde hair, goatee, cyan eyes, wearing a business casual suit and fedora.
I rolled my eyes. “Ugh. Nick. You’re my new…” I looked Nick up and down. “…partner?”
Nick smirked and crossed his arms. “Alec. Great to finally see you again.”
“Stop with the sarcasm. What are you doing in a library? I didn’t know you could read.”
“Oh, haha. Didn’t know you worked here, otherwise I would’ve picked any other library in the city. Oh, and what was it you called me? A… fucking moron?” Nick laughed seductively. “Right back at you old friend.”
“That was you in that car?” I scowled. “Thanks for trying to run me over. I really appreciate that.” I stared at him and held back a gag. “And don’t call me ‘friend.’”
“What? You don’t like that? Would you rather me call you sexyback?”
I flung out of my chair and stood face to face with Nick. “Don’t call me that either.”
Nick smirked and said, “Okay, sexyback.”
I grumbled and balled up my fists. My boss took Nick by the shoulders and pulled him away from me. “Okay, that’s enough. Nick, why don’t you go look around the library, get to know the place? It’s obvious you two already know each other and don’t get along well.” He slapped Nick on the back and said, “Go on then.”
Nick slowly walked out from behind the front desk and disappeared into the bookshelves, his hands in his pockets. I glared at him at he walked away, then groaned and sat back down in my chair. My boss stood in his place for a while in complete silence.
“So how do you guys know each other?” my boss asked, breaking the silence.
“We met on this show, Disventure Camp. Ever heard of it?”
“Nope.”
“Well, it was this show with two teams where both teams would have to compete in various challenges and whichever team lost would vote out someone on their team. Of course there were days where there was no elimination or when a voted out camper would come back but those weren’t frequent. Nick placed 12th, I placed 4th.”
“Wow. 4th was very close. How did you get to 4th?”
“I was kind of evil. I was teamed up with this little girl, Fiore, and we were like an inseparable evil duo. Even without her I would’ve been able to place 1st, since I’m so smart I could’ve been able to strategize my way through. If only Fiore hadn’t made an agreement with Miriam and Ellie to vote me out so she could get farther in the game.” I balled my fist at the thought of Fiore, how close we were, how she betrayed me and how angry that made me feel.
“Ok… and what about Nick placing 12th? Why didn’t he do as well as you?”
“Well, nobody really liked him. Safe to say I agree with everybody. He was so stuck up and snarky, always boasting about how much money he had. ‘I’ll pay you if you take my suitcase,’ like shut up already!”
My boss stared at me with concern. “Okay. Alec, why don’t you just take a couple deep breaths and focus on your work? Once you finish your shift, you won’t have to deal with Nick anymore until tomorrow. I’ll just try to keep him away from you, okay?”
I took a deep breath, then nodded and turned my chair back around to face my computer.
~
Eventually, Nick had to come back behind the front desk to actually do some work. I avoided speaking to him as much as I could.
When I would walk by Nick, he could turn his chair around and shout at me, “Hey, sexyback!”
I just rolled my eyes and didn’t say anything. I knew that whatever I tried wasn’t going to make him stop calling me that. So I just ignored it.
Today was just a boring day at work, but at least Nick didn’t bother me so much. My boss probably talked to him about that.
A little before my shift ended, I decided I wanted to tease Nick a little. I took a sticky note off my desk picked a pen out of a cup on my desk, and wrote this down:
‘Dear Nick,
I hate you so much. Please fire yourself from this library and never come back.
With hate,
Alec.’
I looked at the note with a smirk on my face, then got up from my chair and stuck the sticky note next to Nick’s keyboard while he was in the bathroom, then headed to the bathroom myself.
As I was walking there, Nick was walking back. We stared at each other blankly for a second, then continued on.
As I walked back to my desk from the bathroom, Nick surprisingly didn’t turn his chair around to call me ‘sexyback’ with that stupid smirk on his face. I knew why as soon as I got back to my desk.
There was a sticky note stuck to my monitor. I groaned and sat down in my chair, then took the sticky note off my computer.
I read it to myself, then rolled my eyes. It read:
‘Dear Alec,
I hate you even more. I hope you decide you hate reading one day and quit your job.
With love,
Nick’
I crumpled it up into a ball and threw it into my trash can. Then I finished up my work on my computer, packed up my stuff, and left the library.
~
When I got home and looked into my work bag, I saw the note from Nick crumpled up in my bag. I guess I had missed the trash can when I threw it.
I groaned and said, “I don’t need a reminder of Nick.” I took the note out of my bag and threw it into my bedside trash.
~
It had officially been 4 days I had been working with Nick. God, he bothers me so bad.
As I was readying myself for bed, I picked up my journal off my nightstand and turned to a free page. My therapist told me to write down what happened every day and to let off my negative emotions into it every night before bed. He said it would help with letting go of my ‘emotional baggage,’ whatever that meant.
But as I picked up a pencil to start writing, I turned back to reread what Nick had done to me in the past days.
Day 2
I was looking for a book in one of the shelves when I took my glasses off to clean them and accidentally dropped them on the floor. But when I went to pick them up, Nick came up behind me and asked me ‘who I was bending over for.’ So immature.
Day 3
I was rearranging the books in the shelves, and Nick was following me around, unorganizing the shelves as I organized them to mess with me. I didn’t even notice he was doing this until the end of his shift when the boss came to find him. Then I had to rearrange them before my shift ended. Every. Single. Shelf.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I just can’t stand him. I turned back to my new page and started to write down what had happened today.
Day 4
Nick followed me around all day, talking to me about things I really don’t care about like Star Wars and just calling me sexyback in between every sentence. Eventually I gave out and yelled at him to knock it off. He looked guilty and just walked away. I don’t know why he would look like he was sorry or why he always made an attempt to talk to me every day, or even why he calls me sexyback all the time but it’s a little-
I stopped writing abruptly, then dropped my pencil. I picked up my journal, reread today’s entry, then slammed it shut and got up off my bed. I stormed off to the bathroom and got my toothbrush out of the cabinet.
“No, he can’t like me. That’s weird. We hate each other!” I grabbed my tube of toothpaste and lobbed some on my toothbrush.
“Why would he like me? There’s no way! I don’t even like him! Why should he like me?” I shoved the toothbrush in my mouth, then stared at myself in the mirror blankly.
I let my mind work for a second, then asked myself, “Do I like him?”
I shook my head. “No, I can’t like him! It’s not possible! How would I like him? I mean like, maybe the way he smirks when he calls me sexyback, or like when he follows me around just to talk to me and-”
I looked at myself in the mirror. “God, I do like him!” I finished brushing my teeth and stormed back into my bedroom. I grabbed my book out of my work bag, got in my bed, and pulled the covers over my legs.
But as I opened my book, I couldn’t help but look into the trashcan where Nick’s note was still sitting on the top, completely untouched. I reached down and grabbed it out of the trash.
I uncrumpled it and read it over to myself. To confirm my suspicions of Nick liking me, he did put ‘with love’ on his note while I put ‘with hate.’ Surprisingly I smiled and blushed, then put the note on my bedside table and continued reading.
But as I finished reading, I took that note off the table and traded it out for my bookmark, then shut the book and went to sleep.
~
The next day as soon as I got into work, I rushed behind my desk and pulled a sticky note off the pad, then wrote a quick note to my boss:
‘Boss,
I think I like Nick. Please help.
Confused,
Alec’
I stuck the note on the bulletin board next to his offices and went back to my desk.
Nothing really major happened for the remainder of the morning. It was surprisingly peaceful. The only disturbance was when Nick walked into work and called me sexyback on the way by.
He didn’t bother me for the rest of the morning. Well, until right now.
“Alec.” I jumped as he came up behind me.
I turned my chair around and exclaimed, “You scared me! What do you want now?”
Nick held something up in his hand. Panic rushed through my body. He was holding the sticky note. The one that stated I liked him.
Oh. Shit.
“Did you write this, Alec?”
“Of course not. Someone must’ve staged it.”
“Who would? Nobody else works here besides our boss and he wouldn’t do that. He’s a big sweetheart. So obviously it was you.” Nick paused for a second to walk a little closer to me. “It is true?”
He leaned closer to me.
“Of course it isn’t,” I said, trying not to show the panic on my face.
“Are you sure about that?” Nick asked me, leaning closer to me so that we were face to face.
I stared into his eyes blankly, fear rushing through my body. My face felt so hot, it felt like I was blushing. I could’ve been but there was no way to check right now. There’s no way I was getting out of this, so I gave in. “I really need to work on my poker face, don’t I?” I smirked.
He laughed and said, “A little improvement could work. Otherwise it was pretty solid.”
Before I could say anything, he pressed his lips onto mine. “I knew you’d give into me eventually, sexyback,” Nick said, giving me that stupid smirk of his.
“Oh, shut up, you Brit,” I said, shaking my head.
Nick backed up a little and grabbed my hand. He pulled on my arm and said, “Come on.”
As he pulled me out of my chair I asked him, “Where are you taking me?”
He laughed and said, “Can we make out? Like just for a little bit?”
I raised my eyebrow at him.
“Please, Alec? Just for like 5 minutes?”
I thought about it for a second. “Fine, let’s go.”
Nick laughed and tugged on my arm again. I laughed along with him as he dragged me off to the bathroom.
When we got in the bathroom, he led me into the second stall and locked the door.
I laughed and said, “Why are you acting like someone’s gonna walk in on us?”
“Just in case.”
Before I could say anything, he pushed me against the stall, threw his arms around my neck, and shoved his lips on mine. Honestly, I don’t think I liked kissing anyone more than him.
He pulled away from the kiss and asked, “Do you know why I really came to work here, Alec?”
I shook my head.
“I came to work here because of you.” He poked my chest. “I’ve had feelings for you for a long time and I wanted to see if I could make you feel the same way.”
I chuckled and said, “Well, I guess it worked.”
He laughed, a low attractive laugh.
I blushed, put my hands on his cheeks, and pulled him in for another kiss. He brought one of his hands up my neck and ran his fingers through my hair.
His hands were warm, and his face was utterly cold. He pressed his body up against mine and gripped my neck tighter.
Kissing him was like having an out of body experience. It was so unreal, so astonishing. I just couldn’t believe that it was really Nick I was kissing right now.
I pulled away from Nick. “But Nick, don’t you have a girlfriend?”
He looked off to the side and said, “Yeah, but… I don’t really love her anymore. I love…” He looked up at me.
I blushed and smiled. “You love me?”
Nick nodded slowly, blushing and smirking.
I slowly pulled him in for another kiss and said, “I love you too.”
We continued making out but this little romantic moment would soon end.
Our boss came through the bathroom door shouting, “Alec? Nick? Are you guys in here?”
Nick quickly shoved himself off me, slamming against the other wall of the stall.
The bathroom went silent, then the boss called out, “Hello? Was that you?”
Nick shoved his hands over his mouth to muffle his breathing. I raised an eyebrow at him.
I could see the boss’s feet underneath the stall. I wasn’t panicking at all until the boss stopped dead in his tracks right in front of our stall.
“I can see you two in there! Get out of there!”
Me and Nick stayed as silent as mice. The boss tried to push open the door.
“Alec, open the door please.”
I didn’t say a word. I stared at Nick. He shook his head.
The boss scoffed and said, “Nick?”
I silently pleaded Nick to unlock the door. Nick took his hands off his mouth and mouthed to me ‘Fine.’
He reached out a shaky hand and unlocked the door. The boss gently opened up the door.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, “What were you two doing in here?”
I looked nervously at my feet, blushed, and quickly said, “Nothing.”
At my side, Nick just as quickly said, “Making out.”
I looked up at Nick, blushing even more. “Nick!”
He shrugged and said, “What? I panicked!”
The boss shook his head and said, “And I thought you boys hated each other?”
“It’s a long story,” I said, rubbing my arm.
The boss just shook his head again and said, “Nick, come on. I have something I need you to do for me. Alec, you have work to do.”
The boss started walking away, leaving me and Nick in the stall alone.
Before following the boss, Nick leaned in for one more juicy kiss. “See you later.” He ran off after the boss.
I stood there against the stall, dazed for a second. Then I wiped my mouth and lumbered out of the stall.
As I made my way back to the front desk, the boss was standing there talking to Nick.
As I walked by them, Nick pulled my arm and put a slip of paper in my hand. “Me, you, dinner tonight?”
I unfolded the slip of paper, which had a phone number on it. Nick’s phone number.
I smirked and said, “I’ll call you.”
I walked back to my desk and sat in my chair. I watched as Nick walked off to the other side of the library, his hands in his pockets.
The boss came up behind me and said, “So, Nick, huh?”
“Oh, shut your mouth,” I said, adding Nick’s number onto my phone.
The boss laughed and walked away. And honestly, thinking about all this time I’ve spent with Nick, I really meant it. I did love him.
The End!!!
I hope you enjoyed my fanfic! I enjoyed writing it and I think it turned out really nice. What do you guys think? Drop your thoughts in the comments and if you want, like the fanfic. Thank you pookies!!! <3333

Romantic Yandere Russell Adler (Cod: Cold War) who gets utterly obsessed with Enemy!Reader who refuses to reciprocate his feelings whenever they meet up at the enemy lines? Or when he decides to meticulously capture her himself and use MK-Ultra on her if Stockholm Syndrome doesn’t work?
He's an underrated character when it comes to fanfics here so I'd love to! First Cold War request so I'm hoping I got Adler/the plot right.
Potential Spoilers for Call of Duty: Cold War
Yandere! Russell Adler with Enemy! Darling
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Female Darling, Obsession, Brainwashing/Mind control, Forced relationship, Violence, Manipulation, Kidnapping, Darling is like Bell, Forced touching mentioned.
Tumblr media
This feels an awful lot like a Bell situation....
Especially with the whole MK-Ultra thing you mentioned.
Adler is a morally gray character so he'd have no issues with brainwashing and placing false memories into your head.
Especially if he managed to fall or an enemy.
You were most likely in a similar situation as Bell.
You worked for Perseus and saw Adler as your enemy.
You and Adler have met on the battlefield many times before.
You're enemies... but Adler thought otherwise.
For some reason he fell for you.
Hard, too.
Adler tried to ignore such feelings at first.
He should capture you and interrogate you.
You're an enemy, that is all.
Yet he couldn't help but look into you.
You could be useful... if you just fought for the "right side".
He could care for you if you change sides now!
You never listen.
Your situation is a one-sided enemies to lovers trope.
All it takes is one accident to knock you away from Perseus.
Then... you're in his hands.
Very similar to Bell, they try normal interrogation first.
Adler's feelings intensify when he interrogates you.
You're at his mercy... now you have to listen to him.
Adler can't kill you, he doesn't want to.
If he really has formed feelings for you since the battlefield then he tries to avoid such an outcome.
Adler takes advantage of your restraints when interrogating you.
He traces his hands against you and really tries to push his feelings into view.
Essentially it's like he's using seduction to make you talk.
You can really tell how deranged you make him at this point.
He lightly touches your cheek and holds your hand despite the restraints.
He compliments you, he tells you his thoughts about you.
With how fast he's grown attached to you it comes off as jarring.
Once he realizes he isn't getting info or even reciprocation from you then he turns to other means.
MK-Ultra to be exact.
The idea of that is terrifying.
Adler could implant whatever information and memories he wants in that head of yours.
So, he thinks of something more domestic.
Something straight from his fantasies.
The fabricated life you're given is something along the lines of this;
You are the wife of Russell Adler.
You have been together for years.
You are working with the CIA to help track down Perseus as you and Adler met in the military before marrying.
It's something along the lines of that.
Adler would not mind brainwashing you to love him if you were an enemy.
This way you are no longer a threat and he gets to take care of you.
What a win, right?
Like he wanted, it works.
He plays his act well, too.
When you come off all the drugs, given only your first name, and given a command phrase... Adler is there.
He acts like a concerned husband when you awake and comforts your confusion.
Internally, he's smirking.
He's managed to reprogram you successfully.
It feels nice to have such a beautiful woman all to himself now, despite your past.
For the most part you believe him due to the implanted memories.
You cling to him, you tell him you love him.
You believe every word.
His first kiss with you is not the first to you according to your memories.
Adler indulges every moment with you.
Each kiss holds passion and yearning.
Each hug is tight around you as he buries his face into your neck.
You are his, he's done it!
In every way possible he's made you his.
He loves it when you look at him with adoration... even if it's fabricated.
This whole relationship you two share has been carefully created... it's artificial.
That's fine to Adler.
You'd never know the difference, now you'd always dedicate yourself to him and love him as he's always wanted...
If anyone tries to ruin this for him then Adler doesn't mind a bit more blood on his clothes... that's the job, isn't it?

*Long rambling text warning* I wanna go on a little thing bc these types of fics make me go batshit for how well written they can be- and how they handle this topic very well.
So before I started reading on ao3- I used Wattpad (horrific I know)- but I found a lot of good fanfics with the one of the most popular tropes in the fandom; Foster Care.
*I have never been in foster care. I know that the reasons kids can be in it can be horrible and sad- even to the point of trauma.*
It was weirdly nice to read amounts of comfort for the main character/s, showing them compassion and love against what they went through and thier own trauma if there is any. It hit a nice spot in my brain- and I always think back fondly on these fics.
Recently, as yall know me- I got into the trolls fandom. I recently remembered the fic type, and I wanted to see if there was any fics like this. There was three. *I even posted about this a couple days ago lmao* It wasn’t surprising, the fandom had only grabbed traction for the new movie, but I was surprised there wasn’t any fics like this for the brozone bros- since they fit with the themes used perfectly.
Later on thinking- I thought what if I made my own? I would definitely research and reread some fics on the premise of the topic- and personally would love working on a writing project like this.
and get this. I have two fully great ideas, that don’t focus on Branch. Not JD, not Floyd. It would be Bruce and/or Clay. (THEY ARE SO UNDERRATED OH MY GOD.)
Big giant fight that lead to maybe Grandma dying and the bros being seperated into foster care, where the youngest get placed with nice loving family’s (B: Sky Toronto, F: Def like Riff or even Val’s home tbh… Clay: Pop sisters and Peppy) while JD is taken in by his ‘not girlfriend’ Delta’s family- while Bruce is left at a standpoint, before being fostered by a family with a couple kids (Boom, and his younger brother Gill “Guy”) who’s uncle is Sky. (YES WE DO GET BRO INTERACTIONS IM NOT CRUEL.) He has a horrid time adjusting, and with his subtle eating roubles and strict diet on top of that- along with changing schools to a pothead Highschool, but slowly falling into love with the smart redhead down the street that works in her parents diner/bar. BRUCE CENTRICT?? OH YEAH!!
Bruce has to be a favourite character of mine, he’s really something, and appeals to me a lot to be honest.
Though- if I wanted to do something with Clay- it would be a similar thing to the start, but he is put into a group home (Putt Putt Villa it’s called) where the adults own a Minigolf course+ Arcade, and there is this girl named Viva that is so determined to make him her friend. (No Cliva at all btw, strictly sibling platonic.)
The fic would just be him fitting in almost, struggling with the separation with him and his brothers, and how he deals with wanting to be a bit more serious.
Downright to sum it up- I’ve got two whole fics I could write with the time I could maybe set aside, but I’m wondering how it would appeal- and be taken as the first of its kind almost.
I’m not sorry for the ramble, but DAMN I’m kind obsessed with this idea.

trobed fic recs?
i take my job as an armchair tumblr connoiseur of trobed content way too seriously so here's my giant masterlist of all my favorite trobed fanfics. i didn't cross check this with any previous lists so there may be some overlap but this one is more extensive and will include some older fics. also if it's not listed here that doesn't mean i don't love it, these are just the ones i specifically remembered to write about. please send the authors some love if you have the time to check their works out!
also i did go through all 87 pages of content on the troy barnes/abed nadir tag in order to find some of these. no, i haven't read them all, but i have read most of them.
fitter, happier, more productive by Toft: i've reread this fic so many times and i regularly forget it's over a decade old. if you haven't read any older trobed fics you are absolutely missing out
Advanced Cohert Dating by Aria: classic trobed fic, so cute and in character
Beginner's Relationship Detecting by KlavierWrites: in quite a similar vein to the last one, but i like both!
Fundamentals of Self-Awareness by Rainbowcat: a great lighthearted read, it's one of the most popular trobed fics for a reason.
Homosexuality and Homosociality in Queer Cinema by ama: this might be the first trobed fic i ever read? still so good and a must read for any gay troy barnes truthers
Annie, Abed and the Long Con by callmealvinandthechipmunks: know i've talked about this one before but it's just so great. the shrack plotline is genuinely one of the most canon things i've ever seen written for greendale
Introduction to Unconscious Bias by theimprobable1: i'm a sucker for the trope of troy thinking hes homophobic when he's actually just gay for abed
cardiovascular endurance and the art of recovery by clonetrobed: you guys know i love my abed h/c especially when it's to do with abed's bullying.
His Innermost Thoughts by LeetSpeak: my favorite trobed high school au, definitely inspired me while i was writing mine!
My Angel by orphan_account: trobed ghost fic that did make me genuinely sob
never could be sweeter by clonetrobed: this fic is just straight up a work of art.
Advanced Emotional Reconciliation and Anti-Clone Catharsis by Luuuna03: been a minute since i read this one but it's a great multi chapter reunion fic!
Fits Like A Glove by human_tennis_elbow: super cute trobed proposal!!
just you and i tonight (why don't you figure my heart out?) by r3medialcha8s: the day r3medialcha8s starting posting on a03... you just had to be there. their impact
the things we don't write in our autobiographies by fffggghhh: similarly to prev, the fic that put user troybarnesbabygirlconfirmed on my roster. god bless my insanely talented mutuals
Assignment Extension Rejected by ChrisSucks: speaking of talented mutuals this fic is criminally underrated
when it comes to a lot of the authors on this list i could put like every single fic they've have ever written, and there's so much i didn't get to, but this post took me ages so im gonna call it done.

HallowReads Celebration
I'm not much of a graphic maker and I'm not great at making playlists for other people, so I decided to contribute to this lovely celebration in the way I usually celebrate fic writers in this fandom: Recs!
And listen, I know I have uhhh quite a few mutuals here. I'm not trying to leave anyone out. I love you all very much. I'm only making one of these though and there's only 4 questions lol.
My favourite fanfic I read this year
Lavender by @justagalwhowrites Description: An age-gap grumpy/sunshine friends-to-lovers (and eventually friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers) fanfic that starts pre-outbreak. Series is now complete and spans from Spring, 2000, through Fall, 2029, in the HBO timeline. My thoughts: It's hard to pick a favorite fic. I have read a little over 500 fics since April of this year. But this one has stuck with me so hard. I keep coming back to it over and over. It is beautifully written, heart wrenching, absolutely wonderful. The no outbreak AU will heal you from the trauma of reading the original version, but listen... it's worth it. The characters, the plot, the imagery, everything is so incredible. If you haven't read this... what are you doing?
A beloved fanfic with my comfort character
Celestial Navigation by @write-and-buried Description: dumped and drowning in a summer storm, you duck inside a coffee shop to hide from your broken heart. Covered in plants and hand drawn images over exposed brick, it seems like a slice of heaven. The owner brings you a blueberry muffin and a promise; you'll fall in love with him before the new year. My thoughts: Dieter is my comfort character, 100%. I love him with all my heart. This fic... It takes everything I love about the character of Dieter, puts him into an eccentric millionaire coffee shop AU, mixes in a little bit of that supernatural witchy vibe I love... and it stole my heart. I read this very very early on in my PPCU days and I have since read it 3 times. And I really don't do rereads often. This fic is absolutely beautiful. It's my fucking Roman Empire, man. I think about it at least daily.
A fanfic I wish more people knew about
Psychomanteum by @whatsnewalycat Description: You've recently taken on the customer-facing responsibilities of the small-scale cannabis bakery you and your late husband ran out of your apartment, which introduces you to occasional customer, Dieter Bravo. A friendship is sparked when you realize you have something in common: you've both died. What Dieter doesn't tell you about his near-death experience, though, is that it foretold his life with you. My thoughts: This is one of those fics you think would have 1000 notes and then you look and it has less than 200 on each chapter. This fic is criminally underrated. Psychomanteum is one of the main reasons I even started writing fanfic. I hadn't considered how deeply moving and beautiful a fic could be until I read this. I think I was originally drawn in by the spooky vibes and I was hooked immediately by the world building, the characters, the exploration of grief and trauma. I cannot sing this fic or aly's praises enough. Everyone should read this.
A fanfic with my favourite trope/AU
Be-All and Endor by @djarins-cyare Description: Languishing in a dull and lonely existence on the forest moon of Endor after travelling there to help salvage Death Star wreckage, a nearly fatal encounter with a mysterious bounty hunter out in the forest heralds an opportunity to utilise long-forgotten skills and develop something more profound than you ever thought possible. My thoughts: So my favorite trope is slow burn. This is... an exceptional slow burn. The tension is there pretty much right from the beginning, but it's like 25 whole chapters before the smut happens I think? Don't quote me on that but it's like nearly halfway in to a fic that is very, very long. On to why this is my favorite slowburn ever: The worldbuilding is beautiful. The characterization of Din is one of the best I've literally ever seen. Reader is incredible. Every choice made by the author is so smart and well-researched and planned out. The plot is fantastic, the characters are amazing, the imagery, the tension, the character development. If you love Din, you have to read this. It is beautiful.
A fanfic with my favourite trope/AU Part 2
I simply can't resist a M/M/F sex pollen fic
Of Gorgons and Gardens by @concussed-to-pieces
Description: a Death Watch-raised Mando that takes the Creed incredibly seriously and an Ezra that's well armed -- sex pollen in the form of a weird plant
My thoughts: I am a SLUT for sex pollen fics, so obviously that was excellent. I also love how it was like "oh the plant makes men want to fuck women" but hinted that neither of them would be particularly upset about fucking each other either. This fic is almost absurdly smutty (but also kinda sweet) in part one, and then part two was so sweet. Like yeah yeah horrible harrowing near death experience yada yada... the STUBBLE SCENE??? The PAIN KINK?? the TOUCHING?? I just about died. And then in part three we get my top all time kink PLUS Din and Ezra and Reader just being so sweet it hurts a little. I am feral for these boys UGH. If you like MMF, read all three parts. If you just like poor pining Din and some insane sex pollen that's a little more MFM than MMF, just read part one. Either way... this fic is insanely good man.
-------
I could and have recced so many fics. It was very difficult for me for to choose just these five, when the spreadsheet is well over 500 fics now. Check out my Fic Rec Masterlist for a comprehensive list of my recommendations.
