Other people want Doctor Who to go back to it's roots by having the Doctor be a white man. I want Doctor Who to go back to it's roots by having the Doctor tell a Dalek to kill itself. We are not the same.

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least. 

Actions Speak Louder than Words (ch18) by @isthatbloodonhisshirt

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

Han

To say you weren’t the biggest fan of airports would be an understatement.

You hated them if you were honest.

Between the stress of remembering everything, making sure the boys were ok, that everyone had their passports and then the crowds on top of it all? Hell.

At least when you were flying somewhere the crowds couldn’t follow you through the airport but landing was another story altogether. It was the reason that kept you awake, leg bouncing with anxiety at the unknown while the others took advantage of the time to catch up on some well needed sleep. You’d tried to keep yourself occupied with a film, reading, even just listening to music and staring out the window, but nothing would shift the uneasiness that had a grip on you. Only the fact that the plane had started the descent for landing, you managed to keep yourself strapped in your seat.

You barely even blinked when the plane landing, leg bouncing increased to full body fidgeting. You tied and then retied your laces, cracked your knuckles one, two, three times before Minho asked if you were trying to break them, checked your bag multiple times for your own passport before counting the others. You let Chan lead the way off the plane with the boys following, you waited until the end, letting your eyes run over the rows of seats getting off.

You’d never forget the time Jeongin left his headphones behind or the complaining that followed for the next few hours.

You waited behind Jisung as your passports were being checked, unable to stand still, you’d settled for shifting from one foot to the other in an effort to stay calm.

“Breathe.” He had turned around, eyes wide as he could feel the stress rolling off you. “We don’t know what we’re going out into.”

“Exactly. We don’t know what we’re going out to.”

“It might be ok.”

You didn’t answer that, it was never ok landing back home. Your brain was running on overdrive, thinking of what could go wrong and how you’d have to manage it.

Someone could fall over, get them back up, get them in the car and go home.

A fan could fall over, do you stop and help them? Keep going? There was no right answer there.

What if someone tries to hurt one of the boys? What if-

“Noona come on.”

Your spiralling is interrupted thankfully, but your nerves aren’t eased as you head towards the exit. You make eye contact with Chan, he raises an eyebrow. You know the silent question is if you’re ready to go out there, you nod in response and brace yourself for the other side of the doors.

Screaming. That’s all you can hear. Your vision is completely obstructed by the flashing of cameras but it doesn’t stop you from constantly scanning the people around you.

Just get them into the car. Get them to the cars and everything’s done then.

It was a mantra in your head.

You were aware of the jostling around you, the little security you had doing the minimum against the crowd. A phone pushed in front of your face and you moved around it. No matter how many times you were forced into this situation, you would never get used to it.

You weren’t sure when it all broke down and turned to complete chaos.

Maybe something happened further up that you couldn’t see, maybe Chan had made it outside and people realised they were missing their chance as you got into the cars. It could’ve been anything really. What you did know was the small barrier security held around you was there one second and gone the next.

Hands on you. That was all you could feel.

“Y/N!” You could hear someone shouting for you but you couldn’t see who it was. The crowd that had forced its way forward was beginning to suffocate you. You ducked your head and tried to force your way through but it was an impossible task. You could just about see the doors, hear what was obviously some of the boys outside shouting and arguing to get back in but you knew that would never happen. You were alone in this.

Alone.

The realisation that you were actually on your own in the swarming crowd of people gripped you and made you freeze. Someone bumped you and it made you turn to keep your balance which in turn meant you’d lost your bearings. You were stuck in an overexcited crowd of people that was pushing closer and closer to you with no sign of stopping, you couldn’t hear anything over the screaming now. Sweat was running down your back and your legs felt weak, like any second they were going to give way and you’d hit the deck.

“Y/N!”

You could just about spot Jisung trying to push his way to you, he hadn’t made it outside either before this had started.

People were pulling at him but they might as well have not been there with how much attention he gave them. His sole focus was on getting to you and attempting to shield you from the so called fans that had cornered you. He thrust his hand through the crowd towards you and you lunged for it. He gripped your hand tightly and started to pull you towards him.

One over-eager fan though, (if you can call them that) panicked when you started moving away from them and made an attempt to pull you back. Unfortunately for you, it was your ponytail that they got a grip on, so when they pulled hard you lost your balance completely and went down. You hit the ground and automatically curled in on yourself, not even trying to get back up. It would be an impossible task to push up through the people around you. You screwed your eyes up and wrapped your arms around your head, wincing when you could feel shoes in your back.

Back above the crowd, Jisung panicked. He had a hold on you and then you vanished back under the crowd. Fear shot through him, icy and cold. He moved without thinking, no longer careful. He was pushing and pulling, fighting to get to you.

“BACK UP!” His voice carried, shocking the people closest to him who moved back in fright. It didn’t matter to him though, he managed to force a space through and got his hands under your arms and yanked you up. He spun around and forced you in front of him. Security had managed to regain some attempt at control and had made a slight path for you to get to. The car was in sight and he all but pushed you inside of it.

You fell against the seat, aware that someone was talking but you couldn’t tune into it. The weight of what had just happened settling in you. You’d been so stressed about everyone else being ok that worrying about yourself had never been an option.

“What happened?!” Chan was wide eyed and jittery, barely able to explain that when he’d put Hyunjin, Seungmin, Minho and Changbin in one car that everything had kicked off inside and he couldn’t get back in, security had forced him and Felix into the second car and wouldn’t let them back in to help.

“It was insane. They pushed in and just surrounded us. I didn’t know where to go until I saw them cornering her.”

Your head dropped into your eyes and your eyes shut again, trying desperately to move past the feeling of so many strangers touching you and holding you back. You could hear the angry rantings of Chan demanding better security, Jisung explaining how they’d pulled you down to the ground and what you were pretty sure was Felix sniffling at the stress of the whole situation.

You jumped when you felt a hand on your leg.

“Are you ok?”

You nodded, barely able to speak. A lump had settled in your throat, you swallowed but even that hurt.

“Thank you for coming back to get me Ji.”

He blinked, “Thank you? You don’t need to thank me. I’d never leave you behind.” He took one of your hands slowly and gripped it tight. You linked your fingers between his and held on, matching his grip.

Chan’s voice carried across the car. “I am never letting you walk at the back again after that, straight to the front now. No arguments.”

────୨ৎ────

Felix

Social media was a blessing and a curse.

On one hand, you loved being able to talk to your fans, see their comments and watch back their reactions to new music, concerts, videos posted. You loved that side of it. On the other hand, you could also see the opinions of people that weren’t your fans. Which described the rabbit hole you’d found yourself in now. Most of the time you could ignore it, brush it off and move on. Today was different though, you’d managed to find a whole account dedicated to campaigning for your permanent removal from the group. It didn’t matter to them you’d been there since debut, you never should have debuted with the boys in their opinion. Every single tiny flaw, mistake, error was highlighted and posted on their page, everything was wrong and even if you’d managed to do everything right, well then you could’ve been better.

It was a rare day off for you all and you pushed back the thought in your head that this was how you were spending it. Wasting your time on an anonymous account that spent more time analysing you than your own fans did. They spent so much time analysing you that they were a let to pinpoint all the areas on your body that had gained weight when you’d been on hiatus and not training as much. That was your final straw. You locked your phone and flung it across your bed, pushing yourself up and abandoning it behind you.

Your feet moved on their own accord, as if your body knew where to take you before your brain could catch up. You knocked on the bedroom door.

“Come in.”

You pushed the door open.

Felix sat as his desk, headphones on, game on screen. “You ok?” He didn’t take his eyes off the monitors.

You opened your mouth but didn’t quite know what to say. “I can’t stay off a hate account and it’s driving me crazy” didn’t sound quite right.

“I just need some company.”

Felix side eyed you quickly, it didn’t take a genius to realise something was bothering you but he didn’t press further. He nodded and said nothing else. This wasn’t anything new, he had often come to your room late at night needing company when he was overwhelmed or upset but this was the first time you’d come to find him.

You pulled back the covers on his bed and climbed in, shoving pillows around until you’re comfortable and pulled your hood up over your head. You felt around the bed until your hand landed on a rogue Bbokari, you wrapped your arms around the plushie and curled into a ball. You listened to the faint sounds of Felix gaming and shouting when he lost, it kept your mind away from everything. This was peaceful. You understood why Felix wanted the escape of your room now, the change in bed and presence of someone else with you felt safe. Even though you weren’t speaking, knowing Felix was there in the room with you was enough. Your eyes had started to droop and you nestled down lower into the bed.

Felix spun his chair around once he finished, he wasn’t sure how long you’d been there but it was long enough for him to be hungry now. He stood up, wincing as his knees cracked from being sat for you long. He moved slowly into the bed, not wanting to wake you just yet. He settled down next to you, carefully moving the plushie out of your hands and slotting himself in your arms instead. You weren’t the biggest hugger but you’d become used to Felix sneak attacking you with hugs from the nights spent in your room when he didn’t want to be alone. He wasn’t sure what was bothering you but this always made him feel better so he took a guess that it could help you too.

You woke up feeling so overheated that it took you a minute to realise what was going on. You understood why though when you felt the weight in your arms. You weren’t sure when but obviously at some point, Felix had slotted himself in place of the plushie and was cuddling that now instead whilst you held him. You smiled softly at the younger boy.

“Lix.” You scratched the back of his head gently.

He made a noise.

“Lixie, wake up.”

His eyes opened and then shut again. “What’s wrong?”

“We need to get some food, I don’t even know what time it is.”

“No we don’t.” As if on queue, his stomach started rumbling making you laugh.

“Your body says different. Come on.” You made a move to sit up, pushing past the whine and grabby hands that attempted to keep you in the bed.

“Come on.”

You could hear him objecting to getting out of bed but he still followed you nonetheless.

He took a seat on the counter while you dropped instant ramen into a pot. He kept a careful eye on you, trying to gauge your mood.

“Are you feeling any better?”

You stopped for a moment, considering your words.

“I don’t need to know what’s wrong.” He followed up with quickly. “I just want to know if you feel better.”

“Yeah, I feel a lot better. Thanks Lixie.”

He grinned at that, clearly happy that he had helped. It made him feel special that you’d been able to come to him when you weren’t doing ok and that he’d been able to cheer you up. It made him so happy that he nearly bounced back into his room when you showed no intention of returning to your own, you took your spot in his bed again, bringing your laptop and headphones with you so you could watch a film while he gamed. The silence and each others company was exactly what you had needed today, the silent support doing more for you than he would actually know.

────୨ৎ────

Seungmin

The arena was sold out, fans screaming, lights flashing. The stage was calling your name. You stared wide eyed in the wings, ready to rush back out there. It had been a long few months on hiatus and this was your first show since coming back. Excitement had consumed your entire being, unable to stay still, you settled for jumping on the spot with Jeongin, who was equally hyped about you performing with them again.

“You’re going to tire yourself out before you even make it out there.” Seungmin was leaning against a box, clearly judging the pair of you.

“No we’re not.” Innie retorted, sticking his tongue out.

“Maybe not you, but Noona’s getting pretty old now. She’ll be hyungs age soon.” Seungmin responded dryly.

Your jaw dropped. “Watch it, you menace.” You leg shot out but he dodged your foot with easy and moved away to a safer distance.

He couldn’t reply though, the staff rounded you all up to go on and before you knew it, you were running out onto the stage for the first song.

You felt at home on stage, performing came naturally to you. Your time off made you yearn for it even more, it felt warm under the stage lights and it was where you knew you belonged. It was why when you were halfway through the set that everyone had calmed slightly, you were still bouncing around the stage unable to stay in one place too long. You were waving and interacting with fans, posing for photos and videos, stopping to read posters. You’d been gone long enough that you wanted to show your appreciation for your fans now that you were back.

One poster though caught your attention and not in a good way.

Once you realised what it said you moved on fairly quickly, you didn’t catch the full thing but read enough to understand they weren’t happy you were back and wished you were still on hiatus. You fought to bring your smile back up and moved back across the stage.

It didn’t go unnoticed. Seungmin watched you freeze before composing yourself again from the other side, he couldn’t think what had made you stop. An emergency in the crowd maybe? No, you would’ve stopped the concert. He kept you in his peripheral when you moved in for the dance break, your smile had dropped and it no longer reached your eyes. To everyone else, the fans, the staff, nothing was wrong but he knew different. You were putting on a front right now and he wanted to know why.

At the next opportunity, he made a beeline for the side of the stage except he couldn’t see anything wrong. Nothing was standing out to him as a problem, but he knew you. Something had to have happened to make that much of a difference in your attitude. You’d gone from genuinely excited and happy to a stage version of yourself that you put on when you weren’t feeling it anymore. The difference was so stark that he blocked your path as soon as you got off stage so you could change.

“What happened?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Something happened out there, I saw it. Tell me.” He pressed.

“Nothing happened Minnie, come on we don’t have much time.” You pushed past him and ran to your stylist.

He refused to let it go. Determine to find out what was going on, when you moved across the stage again he stuck close by your side. In fact,that nearly wasn’t enough. He almost missed it.

Almost being the key word.

He turned at the right second, his attention elsewhere in the crowd, too invested to let the issue go. He spotted to poster out of the corner of his eye, the reason he hadn’t seen it before was because it was only held up when you could see it. Your jaw tightened and you moved on. Seungmin didn’t. He ground his teeth, he couldn’t have them removed. Security pushing into the crowd to remove someone at the barrier would draw too much attention to this and you’d hate that. He knew that you’d tell him to just move on and let it go, don’t react, just ignore it. Ignoring would be the right thing to do, the mature thing to do.

Except when has Seungmin ever chosen the correct and mature way out of situation? He wasn’t about to start now.

He spun on his heel and made a beeline for the bottles of water and water guns that were dotted about the stage. He silently thanked staff for remembering the water gun specifically as he picked it up.

You were watching him carefully, all too aware he’d been following you around the stage, making good on his puppy nickname but when his attention had been directed somewhere else you’d stopped. You knew he’d seen the poster, normally you’d step in and tell him to leave the situation alone but you couldn’t deny the slight curiosity you had for wanting to know what he was about to do.

So when he took his place at the side of the stage and lowered the water gun that it was perfectly aimed for the fake fans face, you did nothing to object. The shot of water hit them square in the face, when they held up their hands to shield themselves, he aimed for the poster in their hands. The paper crumpled under the stream rendering it useless. You couldn’t stop the laughter that bubbled up and escaped, you clamped your hands over your mouth to try and mute it but your mic picked it up so it came out through the arena.

The other members turned to see what had you in hysterics but all they saw was Seungmin give you a wide grin, that absolutely meant he’d chosen violence in a situation but they couldn’t figure out what. They were none the wiser as you ran up to him and launched yourself onto his back, he said nothing and carried you back down to the others, grin unmoving.

He was allowed to be mean to you, but no one else.

────୨ৎ────

I.N

Jeongin wasn’t blind to how hard things had been for you. Between the hate online, your hiatus, getting swarmed at the airport, it wasn’t easy. It was why when he found out they had a concert on your birthday, he was determined to make it as special as possible.

“Happy Birthday Noona!” Jeongin burst into your room with a party popper, confetti bursting everywhere.

“Well that’s one way to wake me up.” You yawned. “Thank you Innie.”

“You need to get up, we made you breakfast.”

You hesitated for a second. “You all made it?”

Jeongin slumped. “We tried but Minho kicked us out the kitchen.”

You laughed as that sounded about right. “Ok Innie, let’s go.”

Jeongin had done everything right so far, he got you up for breakfast, ordered your favourite food for lunch and was being a complete pain in the ass to the others so much so that Minho threatened to spoil your birthday surprise if he didn’t chill out. This threat prompted a wrestling match in the boys dressing room as they were getting ready to go on stage that ended with Minho pinned down which left him no choice but to sink his teeth into Jeongin’s forearm.

“Yah, what is going on? I can hear you down the hall.” You pushed in through the door, you had your own dressing room technically but often chose to get your makeup done with the others, using yours only to get dressed in.

“Nothing.” Chan stated, fixing the others with a glare.

You narrowed your eyes but said nothing, completely forgetting about the incident as you fell into prep mode for the upcoming concert.

The concert had gone well, everyone had performed perfectly and you were so proud of the boys. You always were but being able to do what you loved with them especially on your birthday made it even more special.

“We actually have one more thing to do before we leave you tonight.” Chan started.

You looked at the others in confusion, wondering if you’d missed a schedule change.

“Someone very special here has a birthday!”

You groaned and covered your face with your hands, already feeling the heat creep up the back of your neck in embarrassment. You hadn’t expected them to pull this with you tonight. You uncovered your eyes to Changbin pulling over a stool for you to sit on which you indulged him in, you objected when Hyunjin whipped a party hat out from nowhere and wrestled it onto your head.

He pulled the string so it snapped against your chin.

You dug your elbow into his side.

He yelped and moved away.

Minho and Jisung had disappeared in the chaos and your embarrassment to reappear on stage holding a cake with lit candles.

“Happy birthday to youuuu.” Felix started, giddy with the excitement of surprising you but also at the fact that you were so embarrassed by the attention on stage.

You sat staring at them in shock as they got the whole stadium involved, you didn’t need to look at the screens to know that your face was molten red. You were never going to be able to move past this.

“Make a wish!!!” Jeongin cheers as you blew out the candles.

“What did you wish for?” Seungmin questioned.

“You can’t ask her that!” Jeongin snapped.

“Ok, ok.” Chan steps forward, wanting to prevent another possible biting incident from happening. “We actually have one more surprise for you, this was all Innie’s idea so you can thank him for this.”

You weren’t sure what to expect when they directed your attention to the screens, especially not with Jeongin’s face popped up in a recording.

“Hi Noona.” He waved. “I know that things haven’t been the easiest lately so I wanted to do something that shows you how much we appreciate you. So I’m going to start this off, I’ve always appreciated how patient you are with me. It didn’t matter how much you had to help me with dancing when I was younger or when I need help from you now, you’re always so kind to me and you never get mad so thank you” He moved to turn the camera off.

“Oh and happy birthday!”

*Camera cuts to Seungmin*

“So what would you like to say for Noona’s birthday?” Jeongin asked from behind the camera.

“Congratulations on getting old?”

“Hyung do it properly.” Jeonging whined.

Seungmin sighed. “Fine.” He cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable but also trying to his best. “You always look out for everyone, I know that we don’t need to worry about stuff as much because you always make sure that everything’s ok for us. We’re really lucky to have you.” He paused and looked over the camera. “Was that ok?”

“Perfect.” Jeongin grinned.

*Camera cuts to Felix*

*Camera cuts to Han*

“One of my favourite things about you is I know I can come to you with any kind of problem and you’ll listen, or if I’m having a bad day I can come find you and you’ll just let me hang out with you until I feel better. It’s really nice knowing I can come to you with anything no matter what. I’m really thankful I have you in my life, Y/N.”

“I think one of my favourite things about you is how sure you are of yourself, I always think about when we first met you when Channie Hyung told us that you were joining the group too and we didn’t know what to think of you. You were so confident about yourself and I remember thinking how much I wanted to be like that. I think you inspire all of us to be ourselves.”

*Camera cuts to Hyunjin*

Hyunjin spun in the chair, clearly thinking carefully about what he wanted to say. “You’re so kind to us and you always look after us but it’s more than that. I was so young when I met you, we all were. I think we forget that you and Channie hyung were just kids too and then suddenly you had the seven of us to look after. You stepped into that role so easily and never even questioned it. I’ll never stop being grateful for how much you love us and take care of us.”

*Camera cuts to Changbin*

“Ah where do I start? I have a lot of favourite things about you Noona. How much you love what you do, we can be in the recording studio recording lines and you’re sat in the corner of the room dancing. How fiercely you want to protect us from everything, you take on so much that we don’t even know about most of the time. How you get into arguments with the company when you don’t agree with what they want us to do. There’s too many things to choose from, I appreciate everything about you.”

*Camera cuts to Minho*

“Please Hyung, just something. It’s not for me, it’s for her.” Jeongin pleaded.

Minho rolled his eyes. “I’ve never had to correct you about Soonie, Doongie and Dori.”

Jeongin groaned.

Minho glared over the camera. “Get out.”

“What?”

“You want me to do this properly? I can’t do it with you staring at me.”

The scramble of the chair in the background and the door closing echoed on the camera as Jeongin made his exit.

Minho sighed. “This feels ridiculous.”

He looked at the camera. “Sorry.”

His fingers drummed on the table as he thought about what to say, he deliberately avoided eye contact with the camera.

“I remember being happy when I met you. I’d never met someone who was so obsessed with dance and I remember thinking that I could learn so much from you. I don’t think I realised how much you cared until we debuted. You didn’t cry when I was first eliminated, you just held me and told me that it wasn’t my fault and you knew I would do great things.” He hesitated. “You cried when we debuted, when it was announced I remember you crying and holding onto me, you couldn’t speak. You’d never cried on camera before, that was the first time you’d ever cried in front of us and it really shocked me.”

He cleared his throat. “You’ve always believed so much in me that I’ve never questioned if I can do something or not, because if I have someone like you cheering me on and believing that I can do it then I have no reason to doubt myself.”

“Hyung that was beautiful.” Jeongin’s voice carried through the door.

“Yah, you little-“

*Camera cut to Chan”

Chan fiddled with his earring. “I was supposed to do this earlier on but I got called into a meeting so I sneaked off to do this while you taught the others.” He laughed. “I’ve been distracting you all day with recording your lyrics so Innie could get this done, you’re going to kill me when you find out I made you re-record them for no reason.”

He took a deep breath. “I’m going to be honest, I’m not sure what I would do without you Y/N. Sometimes I think about everything that’s happened and I think what would I have done if I didn’t have you here to help me and I’m not sure I could’ve done it. I think you underestimate how much I rely on you sometimes, even when you can’t help me, you’re still there. You’ve been my best friend since we were teenagers, you’ve been a constant support in my life and the boys. I’ve watched you work yourself to the bone taking care of everyone, taking on problems so I don’t need to deal with them, and still managing to do your job on top of it all. I don’t know how you do it.”

He took a moment to rub his face, obviously emotional at admitting these things. “I’m so grateful that I met you all those years ago and that you decided you wanted to take on seven kids and an exhausted dad for the rest of your life, and I say the rest of your life because there is absolutely no way you can live your life without any of us now. We’re never letting you go.”

*The camera cuts to show different moments of you with the boys in recording sessions, dance practices, at home in the dorms. All moments they’ve recorded and given to staff to put in this.*

The video ends and you sit there stunned into silence. You can feel tears escaping your eyes and falling down your cheeks, they land in your lap leaving marks on your jeans. You can’t get any words out, the sheer amount of love that you feel for the boys overwhelms you. To know that this is what they think of you, this is what they love about you is the best gift they could’ve ever given you.

“Oh no, we’ve made her cry. She’s going to kill us.” You can hear Chan say to the crowd, but you don’t acknowledge that. Normally you would raise hell about crying in front of everyone but you can’t bring yourself to.

Your eyes find Jeongin. “You did all of that?”

He shuffled nervously. “I just wanted you to have a good birthday Noona.”

“This has been the best birthday.”

You try and stand up but almost fall over in the process, your hands find the closest person which happens to be Minho and pull him into a tight hug. It’s so tight that both of you can barely breathe but you don’t care. His arms are locked around your waist, head ducked into your neck and you can feel it. He’s started crying too but won’t show his face, he doesn’t cry in public either, you both actively avoid it.

You keep one arm tightly over his shoulders, your hand resting on the back of his head holding him there and reach out to the others. Felix joins you first, also crying. More arms cage around you until Chan joins at last. His arms circle round a few of the members, you make eye contact over Minho’s shoulder. He’s teary eyed but holding it together better than you are. He’s smiling wide, his attention solely focused on you, nothing could pull his eyes off you right now.

“Thank you.”

Chan~

    "Hey have you seen my lapto- Y/N I am so so sorry I didn't mean to walk in." Chan says hurriedly. Despite his apology he stands there, staring at your beautiful body in lingerie. "Chan! What are you doing!?" You yell and he snaps out of it. "Sorry! I'm sorry! But... Why... Who..." He hesitates and you sigh. "This guy I'm talking to... He asked for some pictures." You say. "The douchebag who stood you up last week?" Chan asks, putting his hands on his hips. You nod shamefully. "Really? C'mon you should send those to someone who'd appreciate it." He says softly as he sits on the edge of your bed. "You mean like you?" You ask hesitantly, hoping maybe this might lead to something. "Yeah... Like me." He whispers quietly. Safe to say you two had a loving night.

Lee Know~ 

    You're perched up on the bathroom sink, your bathrobe slightly open and your phone pointed at the mirror when suddenly he walks in. You don't notice him yet so he smirks, crosses his arms, and leans against the doorframe. "Little bit of a risque photoshoot you got going on there." He says teasingly and you jump, falling off of the counter and into his arms. You look up at him shyly and sigh. "I was taking pictures for John." You fess up immediately. He scoffs "John, really? Block him. Now. Let me really appreciate this body." He says as he sets you back up on the counter, opens your legs, and gets on his knees.

Changbin~

    You're turned with your ass to the mirror, your phone in hand and hesitating to take the pictures you were asked to by the guy you were talking to. He was demanding and a bit disrespectful but God you were desperate to get over Changbin. Who happens to be opening the door right now. He drops his protein shake and slaps his hands over his eyes. You turn around, shocked. "Oh my gosh Changbin I'm so sorry, I should've locked my door!" You say. "No no it's okay I should've knocked." He says as he discreetly peeks through his fingers. His cock is rock hard in his pants, which you can obviously see. You walk over to him and gently take his hands away. His breath hitches and he immediately kisses you. Your stupid situationship long forgotten.

Hyunjin~

    He's painting in the living room when he hears some shuffling around in your room. He thought you were asleep so he comes in to check it out. What he wasn't expecting was for you to be face down ass up in bed, with your phone pointed at the mirror you have on your ceiling to take a picture for some guy on a dating app. "Wow." He whispers and you immediately cover yourself up with a blanket. "Hyunjin! Why didn't you knock!?" You huff. "Sorry, I thought you were asleep but um... I like uh... Your panties." He says quietly. Oh he's definitely painting this later... Right after he fucks you of course.

✶ YN FEBRUARY6 ─── the relationships between ateez and y/n.

relationships done in chronological order instead of oldest to youngest. some relationships are longer than other cause they're a little more complex.

i have been working on this for MONTHS so apologizes if they all don't follow the same "format" – i tried 😔

picture moodboard layout inspired by enmi-land.

the swan it couple ( san + y/n = sanyn )

started dating : march 2018

sanyn things : first love, first everything, couple items, hands on hips, finding comfort with each other, making matching bracelets, back hugs

sanyn songs : adore you by harry styles | talk me down by troy sivan | pillowtalk by zayn | the boy is mine by ariana grande

san would say that it was love at first sight when he met you for the first time. walking into the practice room for his first day at kq and seeing you and yunho doing a dance routine together, he thought you looked so pretty and cool while dancing. he's pretty sure his love for you has only grown since that first day. you definitely felt something similar however maybe not at first sight. your feelings grew over the course of you all training together and the longer you got to know him and appreciate his love for plushies matched your own.

your relationship was actual a secret in the beginning, having confessed to each other in 2017. however, you didn't officially start dating until march of 2018. before making it official, you two were just testing it out, not wanting to be too serious especially when you both were still trainees.

you and san always find each other, and you are always seeking him out especially when overly nervous about something. he's someone that is willing to carry your burdens with you, supporting you no matter what. to be honest, you are absolutely in love with him – not being able to imagine your life without him (the others too of course) but you can't deny that san is your first love.

you and san went public with your relationship in 2023.

the girl & her fox ( wooyoung + y/n = wooyn )

started dating : may 2019

wooyn things : soulmates, late night drinks, tom and jerry, only i can make certain type of jokes about them, sharing clothes, kissing and hand - holding

wooyn songs : electric by alina baraz | electric feel by mgmt | adorn by miguel | no tears left to cry by ariana grande

wooyoung's convinced that you and him were meant to meet and be together. at first he thought you were just meant to be friends, but then the more he got to know you the more he was convinced you were destined lovers.

he probably fell for you before ateez even debuted, he realized his feelings for you and was confident about them. but he didn't tell you about them until after you all debuted. he was the first one you told about your feelings for him and the others. that's when he took the opportunity to confess as well, telling you that he loved both you and the others as well.

the two of you are a lot of times attached to the hip even when filming content for fans. wooyoung and you always find a way to somehow be next to each other before the end of filming. you both are probably hongjoong's and staff worse nightmare because of how loud you both get especially if you get put on opposing teams and always yelling at each other.

the puppy - cat duo ( yunho + y/n = yunyn )

started dating : june 2019

yunyn things : you're the reason i stayed, slow dancing, dancing together in general, gaming together, midnight ramen meals, japan trips, shy kisses, stealing hoodies

yunyn songs : lucky by jason mraz & colbie caillat | just the way you are by bruno mars | climax by usher | into you by ariana grande

yunho is the reason you came to kq in the first place. seeing a video of him dancing from a friend, you felt mesmerized when watching him. originally, you didn't tell him or the others how you found kq until a few years after you started dating and into ateez's debut.

the two of you also love taking trips to japan together. yunho loves taking you there and visiting the places you did when you were younger. the two of you also have a long list of things you like to do whenever you go to japan. kq has also had the two of you vlog whatever adventures you go on – they are rather chaotic.

yunho is also always looking after you. if he notices you're cold, his jacket / hoodie is immediately on you. you struggling with a dance move, he's right there helping you with it. yunho was actually the first of the guys to meet your parents – it was kind of unexpected for the most part. yunho had went with you to japan and you forgot to tell him that your parents were meeting you there . . . so yeah. yunho was so nervous the entire time and was screaming in the gc. san and wooyoung were not too pleased to know yunho met your parents before them.

the captain and his secret weapon ( hongjoong + y/n = ynjoong )

started dating : november 2019

ynjoong things : late nights in the studio, secret love songs, art exhibit dates, shopping, matching tattoos, artist and his muse, secret pinning

ynjoong songs : stay by rihanna | i won't give up by jason mraz | earned it by the weeknd | love me harder by ariana grande

hongjoong was someone you admired during your trainee years. even if at first he was dismiss of you because you were a popular former sm trainee. eventually, hongjoong would come around to having you around and would even go as fair as promising to make sure you both debuted together with the others. your admiration slowly turned into infatuation and you started seeing hongjoong as your ' knight in shining armor. '

hongjoong often use to refer to you as ateez's ' secret weapon ' because of how talented of a trainee you were. even when ateez debuted, he would still refer to you as their secret weapon during interviews. when hongjoong began to develop feelings for you, he was worried that it would ruin your current relationship and so he began to distance himself from you. he would pour his feelings into songs he made about you. when you found out about the songs on accident, hongjoong would actually end up lashing out at you for it.

this would put a strain on your relationship for a while until you both slowly began building it back before hongjoong decided to confess to you. since making up and getting together, hongjoong can't keep his hands off you when in his studio or at the dorm together.

true beauty duo ( yeosang + y/n = ynsang )

started dating : december 2019

ynsang things : shy touches, movie nights, teasing each other, sunshine and sunshine protector ( but they are also a sunshine ), playing games together, gossiping, late night cuddles, spending the first snow together

ynsang songs : cherry wine by hozier | sunflower by post malone & swae lee | be honest by jorja smith | the first snow by exo

yeosang felt a mixture of starstruck and intimidation when he first met you. mainly because he knew how talented you were and he remembers walking into the practice room and seeing you dancing so intensely. he was even more intimidated when he watched your monthly evaluation. funnily enough, you were just as starstruck with him because of how pretty he was.

you're pretty sure you guys would've gotten together sooner if you both weren't so shy with each other. wooyoung was the main driving force for you two, telling you both that it was " painful to watch you two flounder around each other. cute but painful. "

yeosang also didn't fully realize his feels for you right away. he's still not even sure when he got feelings for you. but he remembers the exact moment where he no longer saw you as something more than just his teammate. it was during cherry blossom season and the nine of you had went to go see them. it was like he got tunnel - vision in that moment as all he saw was you, covering in the cherry blossom petals. a beautiful smile on your face because you couldn't be happier.

however, yeosang didn't confess until later that year. he remembers wooyoung finally pressuring him before sending you both to the convenience store. it was on the way back to the dorm did yeosang finally tell you his feelings. he had been rambling and you cut him off with a kiss, only after that did it start snowing –  the first snow. since then you and yeosang always go on a date when it first snows during the winter season.

princessez ( mingi + y/n = minyn )

started dating : january 2020

minyn things : gravity falls marathons, cuddling, mini fashion shows, randomly bursting into song and dance, going to the movies together, being each other's hype person

minyn songs : sucker by jonas brothers | hold me while you wait by lewis capaldi | the hills by the weeknd | home by bts

mingi was the definition of embarrassing yourself in front of your crush when he first met you. stumbling over not only his words, but his feet too. it made you laugh and he was worried his heart would jump out and confess his feelings when he heard it for the first time. yunho teased him for how flustered he always got whenever you entered the same room as him.

of course, other than mingi's obvious crush on you – the two of you got along great. you, him, and yunho often freestyling or coming up with small dances together. mingi is also one to notice the smaller details: the way you scrunched your nose whenever yunho teased you or knowing just what to say when you seem to be feeling down.

however, mingi was quick to learn that you could be someone he could lean on as well. being able to go to you whenever he was feeling overwhelmed, your arms circling around his waist and holding him close. mingi learned fast that you are insanely protective of him especially when he was trying to put his own self down. you wouldn't have any of that. that's probably how mingi realized your love for each other was something deeper than just bandmates – it was something personal.

apple - berry ( jongho + y/n = jongyn )

started dating : march 2020

jongyn things : going to new cafes, singing, hidden affection, kisses behind closed doors, you got this, the vocal duo, matching items, watching sunsets together, late - night talks

jongyn songs : perfect by ed sheeran | your best american girl by mitski | slow motion by trey songz | thank u, next by ariana grande

jongho doesn't fall in love easily. at least that's what he thought until he eventually realized that he didn't just admire you as his noona, but he loved you. your small acts of kindness and never forcing him to open up made him feel . . . nice. he appreciated you a lot more than he would ever admit, but don't let his unaffectionate demeanor fool you.

his love for you was a gradual thing. him realizing it over time as he would watch you and the others share brief, intimate moments. he didn't think you would ever possibly like him, but when you confessed one night after the nine of you had returned from a day full of filming – he felt like he was on cloud9. the way you parted his hair, kissed his cheek before telling him you loved him and he was doing a good job. he immediately pulled you down to kiss him before you could run away to your room.

while jongho is still heavy against pda, he doesn't mind having you dot on him from time - to - time in private. in fact, he thrives off of it whenever you and him are together. jongho loves showing off for you, even if he doesn't immediately give off that type of vibe. he loves when you let him pick you up, it often flustering you, but you also enjoy it.

eclipse ( seonghwa + y/n = hwayn )

started dating : november 2020

hwayn things : lego dates, she fell first and he fell harder, animal crossing, going to see the cherry blossoms together, the star and his moon, "can i sleep with you tonight?" "of course"

hwayn songs : best part by daniel caesar & h.e.r | gravity by sara bareilles | wicked games by the weeknd | we can't be friends by ariana grande

the classic trope of "she fell first and he fell harder" mixed with "the right person wrong time." when seonghwa joined the company, you remembering thinking he was handsome. so much that you developed a crush on him. but then you learned he had a girlfriend he had been dating for a while and immediately stopped.

you did your best to hide your feelings from seonghwa, which seemed to work as he was completely oblivious to your feelings for several years. at least you thought he was completely oblivious to them. as ateez entered their third year together, seonghwa began seeing you in a new light. a light he never wanted to admit before due to his commitment to his girlfriend, haneul. seonghwa would begin to pursue you when he told you that him and haneul where on a break – not sharing the full truth with you.

this would eventually lead you to doubt seonghwa's feelings – not thinking you could trust him and seonghwa would spend the entire year of 2020 to gain not only your trust, but the other's trusts back as well.

however, now almost five years later and seonghwa makes sure that you and the others know he loves you all. you often find yourself seeking him out after or in - between schedules. the others often joke that seonghwa's arms are like a second home to you and honestly . . . you can't really say they're wrong.

The Life and Suffering of King Firan

Happy Ace Week, fellow Darkonians!

↓The vertical version, and my pretentious explanation:

Alright, first, I drew inspiration from Danse Macabre to depict Azalin's life on Oerth. The devils represent the Dark Powers. From right to left, it depicts 15-year-old Firan leaving Knurl with confusion, uncertainty and hope for the future, “Firan Zal'Honan has come home,” Azal'Lan accepting the offer of the Dark Powers after losing Irik, and being carried away by the fog after becoming a lich. Also, that Firan is going from right to left in this art is meant to convey a nostalgic sorrow and the fading of hope. I think it is how Azalin looks back on his past life very occasionally.

I rarely explain my arts, as I prefer it remains open for interpretation, but manuscript is a symbolic art form that I like vm. Still, drawing this way limits what I may render (I cannot shade and go into details like I usually do). Anyway I am not going to explain the implications of marginalia. You should go reading King of the Dead and visit Knurl for ace week.

And so my favourite Ancient Greek site ever; Delphi!!

This place (and, of course, the mythos behind the oracle of Delphi herself) has been a fixation for me for years, so I was buzzing basically the entire time I was there.

While everything I saw was beyond gorgeous, this place took the cake. An absolute trek up a mountain side (with a further trek if you wanted to see the Pythian stadium, which I happily did), but we'll worth it. Massive props to everyone and everyone who traveled from literally anywhere in order to get a prophecy.

Speaking of prophecy (info dump under the cut)...

Okay! So! Delphi, aside from being a temple of Apollo, was considered the centre of the classical Greek world (and just the world in general), for a long time, mainly because it was the seat of the Pythia; the high priestess, aka, the oracle of Delphi. Which, fun fact, in Greek shares the same root word for 'womb'.

Now, the temples (as well as the village, various treasuries, gymnasium and theatre) at Delphi are of varying ages, with the temple of Apollo being built around 7th century BCE, before being burnt down in 548ish BC, and then again in the 4th century BC. The ones which you can see (and are in the photos 😌) are all from the 4th century BC. Two thousand plus years old.

Isn't that insane? Sure, not the oldest thing in the world, but walked by so many people. Awesome, in the truest meaning of the word I fear.

But, onto the Pythia. For a bit of context, the original site of Delphi is believed to have housed a different God, suspected to be Gaia, who's son/daughter (varies depending on what translation of the myth you're reading into), named Python (sometimes called Drakon // Drakaina) resided in a cave. When Apollo took over the site, he killed it, and, when he did, it caused a great chasm to open up in the Earth and spew gas. Henceforth, the oracle was known as the Pythia.

She would've also sat on a tripod over this chasm, of which with inhalation of the gas, the spirit of Apollo could posses her in order to give prophecies.

It's been debated whether this chasm did or didn't exist—it is highly possible for one to have been there; the area is known for earthquakes, and natural gas that causes hallucinations, such as methane, ethane and ethylene is able to come from the ground—but, either way, the priestess was high as balls when giving these prophecies. Either from gas, laurel (known in the modern age as Oleander), or both.

So, imagine, you've been travelling from Athens to Delphi for a week or two, have waited a month to see this oracle, only to step into a dim temple to see a lady probably between 40-60 years old, dressed as a young woman, with visable gas spewing out from underneath her, and she spews what sounds like absolute nonsense, in which, very helpfully, a priest translates into poetry for you to take home, which turns out to be scarily accurate. I'd be damn sure the Olympians existed too.

Her being so accurate is, in fact, what brought Delphi such high prestige.

While the idea of living breathing oracle is very cool, the way Delphi was set up aided her being so precise. As noted before, Delphi was considered a hub (would've had street markets, banks, small villages, religious sects etc.), with almost everyone there to see the oracle—people would be waiting weeks to months for a visit from her—and, during this time, they'd interact and talk with those around them. War plans would be drunkenly shared, marriages would be quietly talked of, and most of these conversations between generals and kings, and their messangers and servants, were all heard and noted down by the various priests in the area, who'd provide information to the oracle, and slip in some more details in their 'translation'.

Interesting, no?

The oracle of Delphi is dates back to about 1400 BC, with her last prophecy being delivered about 390 CE, to a Roman Emperor who began stating various laws to end pagan (classical Hellenistic) activities.
