OP men reacting to their gf getting a makeover by Nami and Robin.

Luffy

Bae he probably didnt notice at first

Goes oh you look nice did you change something?? LIKE SIR I EVEN GOT MY HAIR DONE??

Doest change the fact that he loves you.

Overall 10 minutes before he needs you out of your clothes on onto him

Sanji

Certified munch right here

Bae notices and has a nosebleed immediately

Sings your praises like no other

Has to youch you

May have touched too much because now youre in a mating press

Zoro

Notices but doesnt react the way you expected

Why you dressed like the witch?

Bro please i swear he loves you but he liked you the way you were

He shows you that he likes you for you and not your clothes ifkyk

Usopp

My beloved

Blushy mess

Thinks you look good… real good

Instant boner. He cant help it you look edible

Needs to show you how pretty he thinks you look.

Ace

Oh his little bro's friends are interesting

He doesn't hide how much he likes it

He so smooth when he flirts with you oml

Who jumps on who it is never known

When you leave the room your lace is lifting

Rob Lucci

He sees it but acts like he doesnt care

He very much cares

Cares so much he askes to see you because what are you wearing

Nigga don't play, hes horny so very horny

Yall traumatized the bird…. Again

Do flamingo

He let's you out and you come home dressed like this?

This is why he doesn't let you out the house

Makes you do a three sixty

He likes it

You got your ass ate for the first time in your life so i guess that's a good thing?

Crocodile

Again, he lets you out and this is how you come home?

Actually tells you he likes it straight up.

I mean he was gonna marry you regardless but now he needs you wifed up

He learned how to teleport into pussy.

You might be pregnant now

Shanks

HORKNEEE

sir calm down

Hes so attracted to you all the time so this lil makeover means nothing but his fine shyt rebranded

He shows you why all he uses to fight with is aura

The whole ship is congratulating you on the baby when you leave your room the next day

Me? Posting twice in 1 day?

I'm clearing my drafts apparently

I'm also rereading one piece

[uglyduckling339]

KY'S LIFE IS STRANGE DOUBLE EXPOSURE NONSENSE LIVEBLOG: Chapter 1

(spoilers obvi) (these will only make sense if u watched or played the game and even then it may be shakey lmao)

tutorial

(edit lmfao i forgot to post this on wednesday, its been sitting in my drafts so thats y some of the comments sound weird)

chat i fear this was such a bad playthrough on my behalf...

LOVE LOVE LOVE max having trauma. i want to see her suffer in this game

LIS2 PHOTO !!!!

something i havent seen alot of people mention is the fact that bc they have a diff pose, it's likely that they took a bunch (or at least 2) selfies and gave one to david then kept the other. (also means rhat chloe could have a version of this pic as well !!!!)

pricefield travelling bc they couldn't js settle down </3 (somebody remind me and i'll do my pricefield analysis btw)

depending on the outfit you pick, max can have pink tips !!!! #canonpinkhair

JOURNAL .

OH MY GOD SHES WRITING TO CHLOE.

stop okay i love this new journal. the idea that post storm she got a whole new one; max dissociating after the storm (she says the days blurred n stuff), max always being "stuck in the past", chloe never looking at her the same after she learned abt joyce, so much angst oml

"she left me" oh my god

okay i need to move on from the journal lmfao

ngl i actually love amanda as a friend. she fr brought max food and noticed rhat taking pictures helps her cope best

okayyy reggie is my new fav side character. he's such a cutie pootie fr

ew it's fake rachel amber

VINH?? THE VINH??

TAKE THAT BIPHOBIC MAX "FANS"

vinh and max have chemistry better then her and Amanda i fear

LMFAOO?? WHY DOES MAX HAVE THE REPUATION OF A LOCK-PICK?? WHAT DID SHE DO BRUH💀😭

i need gwen so badly tbh. i'm like 80% sure shes not evil and she's rhe david madsen of this game

actually ykw i need ALL of yall. this whole game is full of baddies

i love the accent that safi and her mom have.

that suicide question is fucking stupid bc?? the game is about solving a murder?? who would pick the probably option thats crazy (girl who picked the probably option)

i'm ngl from this point onward i started lowkey speedrunning the game and thats when i fucked up so i'm gonna replay soon and slow tf down😭😭

LORETTA WHEN I CATCH YOU LORETTA.

LET ME GET HER. LEMME AT HER.

im gonna beat this bitches ass oh my god

GWEN NO CUM BACK- I MEAN CUM- I MEAN CU-

shit i think gwen's rhe one i need to actually like me but like😭 im so bad without rewind

i love moses but blud is yappin too much tbh

yes king i miss her too. yes king men can cry too. yes king you can grieve. now give me magic

bye why is loretta theatening max.

max is SO unbothered by that threat💀 shes like "i rewound time to save my ex-gf from being shot and the kid who shot her continued to harass me for the rest of rhe week until my professor murdered him (and kidnapped me and killed my ex gf), this is so NOT a big deal"

chat so i MAY have gotten scared after gwen and avoided beefing with lucas. another mistake to fix next gameplay ig

yay magic

i miss using L2. R1 is such a stupid ass button

okay so all in all, its so interesting to see the ending percentages. especially knowing that its mostly super fans bc of the ultimate thing.

also interesting that as of 8pm EST on opening day, 59% of players chose bae>bay. also like a overwhelming majority romanced chloe and that is SO important to note to me

i'm 100% gonna resume chapter 2 tmmr and rhen likely start a new save at some point next week to slow down and REALLY focus on the details that i missed cuz i missed hella stuff

[allfortzu]

maybe I should really finish that fic, maybe I will someday, ill let you know ofc ;)

butttt

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe6aFHWr/

tt link of the day!!!

even tho my user is kinda... okay nr1chaedickrider okay?? but the way my thoughts of chaeyoung go crazy

like sana, i really like the way she speaks, she is able to use her words so well (maybe its a reason for her writing so many songs)

but im never gonna stop believing that chaeyoung fits an angsty concept so well, because the way she would be able to speak in an argument, talk about her feelings etc. would be just amazing, something that you just want to hear and cant stop reading you know?

ughhh im yapping again someone hold me back

also i actually made an tiktok folder for saved twice tt's i send you so trust i am ready for everyday !!!!

OML POOK IM SO SORRY I thought I posted this but turns out it was in my drafts all along oml forgive me 😭💔

BUT YEAH ANGSTY CHAENG OMG the way her mind works,, she rlly is like sana! I totally get you 😞 she doesn't seem like the kind to get into miscommunication issues, which is arguably one of the most frustrating kinds of angst, so she's got a special place in my heart for that 😭

i'll look forward to the tts!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[altaneenarts]

Tag game from @amoxilwrites

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

10 all for DSMP

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

162,320 (oml that's a lot)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just DSMP rn

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1) in the doorway with you a zombie!george dnf fic based on mushie's apocalypse AU

2) perpetuam memoriam king!george/assassin!dream au

3) The Divine Right DSMP canon-divergent platonic dnf fic where c!George rescues c!Dream with the help of DreamXD (this action has consequences)

4) the crown, the shadow the prequel to "perpetuam memorial"

5) Communion a sequel to "in the doorway with you"

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I love answering comments especially if a reader has a question. I'm happy to talk about my fics or characterizations with others. I've made some good friends this way :)

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmm well I'd say some of the ones I'm writing now have angstier endings, but of those I have published it's probably "The Divine Right" simply because of how long the fic is. (SPOILERS) It's about losing what you thought you had regained and coming to grips with the truth that the person you knew is no longer what they once were.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The End post DSMP finale fic where DreamXD saves c!George from the nuke

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nope. I have yet to get any real hate comments lol.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

So far, no. I've written short snippets of hypothetical scenarios which @amoxilwrites has enjoyed lol. But if I ever publish any, it'll be very character/plot driven. I want the smut to have meaning and give a look inside who the characters are or progress the story somehow—I just find it more engaging that way.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Nope.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes, back on an old account for the Hannigram fandom.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship

Oof of all time? As much as I love DNF, nothing will compare to Destiel (sorry gamers lol)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Hmm now that depends on what you consider a wip XD I have many planned/brainstormed but of the ones I've actually started writing I think I can finish them all, it'll just take a long while.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Atmosphere/description (I love setting the tone), metaphors, and dialogue

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I can't write pure fluff/happiness for the life of me. I can only write happiness in the contrast of sadness. I also struggle with modern settings as my dialogue tends to lean towards poeticness more than realism. Too many metaphors. Whenever I edit, I always try to cut down my metaphors to one at a time instead of a bunch of wordiness that'll tire out a reader.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've done it with Enokian from Supernatural which was very painful given that it's not a complete language and the translators that exist aren't always accurate. So it was a lot of coming up with multiple ways to say a sentence until one was translatable. I also translate Latin pretty often (even now for "perpetuam memoriam") I'll never claim that it's accurate but I do often double check what I want to say through multiple translators before the final draft.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically Harry Potter, but I first posted fics for Supernatural

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I'm really happy with how "perpetuam memoriam" is going so far but of those that are complete I'd say "Communion". I really enjoy capturing a morally grey character whose logic is different from the norm in order to rationalize their life; how they can be vicious and kind.

oh gosh i feel like a dsmpblr noobie what other writers do i know well enough to tag *sweats* I think I'll just leave this open to whoever wants to join :D that way I can get to know yall better and can tag you next time lol

[an]: this has been sitting in my drafts for so long and im so sorry about that ;-; hi hi ‼️oml luv im sorry i posted this late, im rlly trying to find motivation to write here in my tumblr 😭✋ yet, pls fix ur sleeping schedule it’s bad to stay up too late didjdjddj i hope these scenarios help <3 ‼️

summary: it was difficult to get at least one wink of sleep at night, you wished there was an easier way to fall asleep. maybe the arms of your loving boyfriend would do that job…

pairing: diluc, kaeya, zhongli, childe, & xiao x insomniac!reader [ separate ! ]

genre: fluff !

warning: spoilers for childe’s real name ‼️

***

diluc ragnvindr

the sound of the clock’s ticking never ends.

in fact, you don’t even know what time it was right now. standing up for the 10th time from your comfortable bed, you lazily rubbed your eyes and looked around the dark room you were staying in, except only the light from the window came to illuminate inside of the bedroom. it was lonely in there. you were lonely.

you couldn’t sleep.

no matter how many times you turn and turn around the bed, you always ended up on the same feeling, which was nothing. you don’t exactly get how others are able to sleep so heavily and peacefully—though it sounded like a nice feeling. sleeping so much throughout the days. too bad, because you had insomnia.

counting sheep sounds lovely, yet it was tiring. you wanted to look for other ways to sleep. because even with the same methods, nothing happens. that’s what you thought…until, you entered an unexpected relationship with mondstadt’s greatest winery tycoon. diluc ragnvindr.

yes, upon having an unexpected relationship with the richest man in mondstadt, you do have some high expectations for him. and one of them considering that you’re staying over in his house for the first time. it made you a bit homesick, however you did had the courage to sleep in his bedroom after all. the problem was…

“i can’t sleep…” sighing as you muttered. it had always been like this. even back at your home, you had high difficulties of falling asleep. and the problem was huge. you even had to seek help from good professional doctors, and even when they did tried helping it only workers once or twice until the cycle returned. you were tired. so tired.

“love?” you heard a voice call from behind, and you quickly turned around. it was no one other than your red headed lover. even in the dark, you can still spot his hair sprawled over across his beautiful sleepy face. you smiled, “hey, sorry did i wake you up?”

“no, no, not at all. just woke up for no reason. it’s always like this…” he replied, and you chuckled. “well you better head back to sleep, it’s bad staying up this late.”

“you’re the one to talk. why are you still up?” diluc questions, and you sighed once again. “i…can’t sleep. just like you its been always like this. don’t expect me to count sheep now,” you replied, and diluc eyes widen a little. “oh, well then come on now, you have to get some rest, you’ve been working all morning.” he says, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

“no it’s ok…! you go ahead first i’ll follow later,” you insisted, yet of course diluc wouldn’t oblige to your lies like that easily. looking at you one last time he gently take hold of your arm and pulled you down next to him, caging you around his arms as you both laid down on the soft cushion of the pillows. “diluc…!”

“shhh…it’s ok now, love…i’m here. now get some rest…”

“it’s not that simple…” you whined, gripping hard on his arm wrapped around you. however diluc only brushed your hair and continued to soothe you down. “i know…” he whispers, “…it’s hard, isn’t it? but here, there’s more thousands of stars than sheep for you to count. and they’ll guide you through your sleep. now, just close your eyes, and when you wake up, i’ll be right here next to you. i promise…” diluc mutters to you and in that moment…you just wanted to cry out of pure happiness.

and for the first time in your life after being alone for so long…you actually fell asleep.

kaeya alberich

‘guess sleeping pills aren’t working that easily anymore, huh?

gulping down the glass of water next to your bed, you felt the small lump of the sleeping pill dissolve down your throat. maybe with this, you’ll fall asleep soon. and you didn’t have to worry your busy lover anymore with your sleeping problems.

for years, you tried your best to cope with your insomnia, however, the solution you ever did for the past decade is drinking sleeping pills for at least once a day before going to bed. it worked, for only a few times that is. the problem really wasn’t that big honestly…but for kaeya, he claimed that it is. sighing, you gently laid down the shared bed you and your lover stayed in, tucking inside the cozy blanket kaeya bought last holiday. closing your eyes, you at least tried to get like one wink of sleep yet…no progress however happened. it was tiring.

“sleeping pills again, dear?” a voice echoes across the room. you didn’t even bother to look since it sounded like you already know where it came from. chuckling, you replied. “then how am i supposed to sleep properly with you, kaeya? it’s our first time to sleep together after all, i don’t wanna bother you…”

“who said anything about me being bothered if you have sleeping problems, dear? that’s surprising to hear…” he laughs, and you couldn’t help but smile. this man definitely knows how to play the strings of your heart, and that’s basically how you fell for him for the first time. but of course, the calvary captain of the knights of favonius wouldn’t like you to like that easily, right?

“kaeya…”

“yes, dear?”

“please hold me…”

“if you say so, my dearest…” was what he last said as he headed over to your low figure, face smudged against the pillows. kaeya slowly sat beside the foot of the bed and pulled you up, signaling you to softly sit down on his lap and rest your head over your shoulder. humming a small tune, you felt your head feeling heavy every time kaeya’s fingers stroke through your hair. “hey kaeya…?”

“hm?” he hums.

a whisper came out to your weak lips. “thank you…” before you closed your eyes. kaeya smiles, feeling his heart go weak because of you. “no, dearest. thank you for making me not feel alone. i love you, please get some rest.”

zhongli (morax)

“darling, why aren’t you asleep, yet?”

“same question here,” you giggled when you saw your tired lover walking in your shared bedroom with a surprised look when he saw you still awake. he brushed his hair back, sighing. “just had some midnight tea. nothing too serious…”

“then if that’s all, then come back to bed. it’s late,” is what you said before zhongli had no choice but to lay beside the person he adored and loved. you made space for him to lay down next to you, a small smile stretching over his face when he saw your eyes glimmer from the sight of him. “and what makes it difficult for you to fall asleep at this hour of the evening?”

“what made you so curious?” you laughed, making zhongli fall more in love with you. a million stars wouldn’t even match the same shine of your smile, and that was coming from the former geo archon of teyvat. at this occasion, zhongli did knew you were having difficulties upon dozing off to slumber—and he was upset at the fact that you were still smiling despite your problem.

the silence was growing bigger, as zhongli shifts closer to you, creating you and your lover to touch shoulders and heads almost leaning to one another, zhongli takes grasp of your hand and began to speak once more, “would you like to hear a story about the geo archon? or anything you enjoy in particular?”

“woah, a storyteller now? you really are something, zhongli.”

he laughed before kissing the crown of your forehead. “i am. only for you, darling.”

there were a few more moments of quiet, only you and zhongli looking at each other with pure love before once again, he breaks the silence. “now, what story is it you wish to hear? i hope it’s something that could help you sleep with me.”

“tell me the story of rex lapis and guizhong then if you may.”

xiao

if you think about it, xiao also can’t sleep.

the adepti that guards liyue had; “no time to sleep,” after all. that’s what he said before slaughtering a bunch of hilichurls attacking down near wangshuu inn. and for a mortal like you, falling in love with an adeptus like xiao, oh archons—it was not possible. but it was. you thought of yourself more like a human with no exciting tomorrows. just a normal life as a person.

for xiao who had lived throughout history and history, he had been suffering for far too long. if it wasn’t for you who gave him the upmost love and affection. he was surprised, you were surprised. you’re both in love with one another.

it was a huge to surprise to everyone who knew you and the adepti. even the traveler & their companion paimon who were just passing by to do commissions. not long after that when xiao confessed his liking and fascination towards you after being saved by him, you two established into quite an awkward yet wholesome and loving relationship. and because of that, everyone depended on you to make xiao feel like a better and a loved adepti again.

even a man named zhongli from the wangsheng funeral parlor told you so.

though, throughout the progress of you and xiao’s relationship, there are a few holes of mistakes here and there, yet you and xiao still loved each after every one of them. one of those holes were when it came to your sleeping schedule.

“y/n?”

“hey, xiao…”

“why are you…?”

moon dusting it’s light upon the land of liyue, stars guiding whoever it is in teyvat—as a small smile came across your lips, xiao finds it hard to even spare a single glare to the face he adored the most. grunting, he turns away. “this again, y/n? i told you to sleep earlier, didn’t i? mortals like you—

“i was waiting for you,” you cut him off, your palm carrying your face. thank the archons it was dark midnight tonight, or else you would’ve seen the small blush dusted across xiao’s cheeks. grunting once again, xiao turns away, “hmph, changing the subject huh? but…i knew you would,” he says, jumping off the balcony and towards your room—where you dragged him in.

xiao was used to your presence. and when it came to you, you always had a way to get your adeptus boyfriend into doing what you want. even if it was just for a small second—you were already glad. and one of them is cuddling with you in your bedroom, every evening after he’s tired from clashing with enemies.

sitting down on your bed, xiao only stood from the side of your room, arms crossed and face as stoic as ever. a pout came across your face, “xiao…”

a sigh, “you go ahead and rest. mortals like you need enough energy and sleep after all. go, i’ll be here.” and you scratched the nape of your neck. “uhhh yeah, ummm…i…i cant really…” you looked over at your lover, nervously while xiao only cocks up a brow, “i can’t really sleep…you know…even with or without you by my side.”

xiao’s eyes widen a bit, astonished and bewildered by your simplification. oh right, you had insomnia, or whatever that is. difficulty of getting some good rest at night. xiao opens his mouth to speak, but immediately closes it after. what is it can he do to help?

help.

that’s a word he didn’t really used much.

“i mean, if you’re here only to watch me until i fall asleep then that’ll only be a waste of time because…” you stopped and sighed, hugging your knees tight onto the foot of your bed that you rarely lay down to sleep on. “i’m sorry, xiao. i’m only a nuisance to you…you can leave now—

“shut up.”

“huh?”

walking towards you, xiao took hold of your hand and stared right into your eyes, his face a bit angry and serious mixed in one bowl. “i said, shut up. you’re not a nuisance. you were never a nuisance. i am.” he says, and you said nothing after. xiao was…not mad but it was like…he was worried. surely, xiao was no expert like in fighting and violence when it came to relationships. however he knew, love is like a battle for him. and for you, you insomnia was a challenge.

as the silence took in, your head slowly sunk down on his shoulders, taking in his warmth while xiao stood there, emotionless, while the inside of himself was feeling loved once again. you were so focused on xiao’s warmth…you didn’t even hear his small humming as he caressed your head. “xiao?”

“quiet…” he mutters coldly as he guides you to bed. his humming continuing while you grasped in his warmth. xiao never really liked cuddling, nor doing anything couples do in a relationship. as your lover goes further into humming you to bed, you felt the stars watch over you two while you reign to slumber.

he was lucky for loving you.

tartaglia (childe)

it hurts childe for seeing you have a hard time sleeping.

while he tumbles and dozed off to bed after a long day of work, you here, his perfect and beautiful girlfriend earn a hard time sleeping with him in bed every night. it bothered him to the core, and so tried to ask other people he knew on how to help you sleep earlier.

although, based on what everyone recommended to him, childe had another bright idea going over his head. with enough buck and mora brought along in his wallet, childe gathered enough materials and help from his helpful partners to create something that might you sleep tighter and better with him tonight.

this night, like any other, childe happily dragged you inside your shared bedroom, moonlight crisp and dark—exquisite enough to shine through the curtains of your perfect home with your boyfriend. it was time for bed, and you were most certain childe would knock himself on the bed first before you, making you think that after he sleeps, you would have some solid time for yourself. however…

“ajax…what is this?”

as you entered your shared room, you found out that the ceiling…was changed into a wallpaper portrait of stars. behind you, your boyfriend smiles cheekily, pecking softly on your cheek as he says, “i know you always have a hard time trying to go to bed. so, i decided to help a little with your problem…”

your eyes sparkled like the stars painted above. did…childe really do all of this for you and your problem? childe’s grin stretched wider. “all for you, sweetheart. now c’mon…” his hand takes grip on yours, leaving you a bit surprised from his hurried expression. “let’s go get some sleep, y/n. but this time, you’re not alone. because the stars are here to guide you through your dreams, sweetie.”

“a-ajax…i don’t know if this’ll work, irs not that easy,” you cut, worried that his hardwork would go to a waste. childe shakes his head, “i know. but please, at least try to. i’m tired of seeing you staying up so late because of this. promise, trust me. i’ll be here with you.”

“i don’t know if i can go trust promises that quickly…”

“then please…” childe stops you, “trust mine.” then he grips your hand tighter, before pulling you into a tight hug. “i’ve experienced this before. sweetheart, we’ll go through this together. you and i. let’s count the stars like it’s our last moments…”

who knew the 11th of the fatui harbinger could be so caring?

Incandescence

Yandere! Xiao x Adeptus! reader

Summary: Xiao does not want you, the only healer among the adepti he can converse with to be out and about in the mortal realm.

A/N: This idea has been sitting in my pile of drafts, gathering dust for a while, so here you go! I recently got some insight on the tsundere mindset so um....It's really plain and simple I hope you all enjoy this crumb oml. I tried to keep the reader gender neutral, but if I missed something do let me know through an ask or comment!

Warning: Mild description of blood, obsessive and possessive behaviour, mentions of murder and violence, Xiao being a social recluse, mild yandere content

When did this all start?

Xiao has no recollection. One thing that he can be sure is: it did not started to fester recently, rather accumiliation across centuries.

This itching, strange feeling in his chest? At first, Xiao paid it no mind, whenever you came into his field of view.

You do not even talk to him that much in the beginning, besides you have no sentience-altering power, not to his knowledge.

But those karmic debts that haunt him…you seem to have the ability to quell them, with your mere presence. It is only logical, Xiao supposes, as you act as a healer among the adepti. Always so gentle and calm, always smiling. Not even the slightest of frowns when he comes to your abode covered in dark crimson.

“Because beings would come to me whenever they are in pain. Discouraging expressions would only sever their suffering.” Your fingers gently brush over a minor cut on Xiao’s right arm, closing it almost instantly. Of course, it is foolish of him to ask. You are like this towards anyone in need of your services after all.

Whenever your powers came into contact with him, it feels...warm and comforting, just like your presence’s effects on others. Of course, the Yaksha would never say it out loud, but he can allow himself to relax with you around.

It is getting harder and harder to keep a straight face around you, something that irritates Xiao greatly. However, he nneds to see you frequently(not just because of injuries). Once a week, at the very least.

Like a fire on snowy winter mountains, or a glimmer of light that pierces through the darkness.

Strictly speaking, you are not the only Adeptus who is capable of mending wounds. But Xiao trusts you the most, coming to your domain has become second nature since time immemorial.

One day, he thought paying you some occasional visit after he patrolled would not be a terrible pastime. Since his karmic debt does not seem to have any effect on you. Your tea brewing and culinary skills are not terrible, it all just spiralled downwards from there.

You do not seem to mind his little visits, and he find himself geew rather found of your company over time. A good way to keep his karmatic debts under control, that is all there is, or so Xiao tells himself.

Always letting him initiate the conversation if Xiao is feeling talkative on that day, or it would just be a plate of almond tofu and your silence company, with a book in your hands. He prefers this much better than bothersome chattiness.

Those fools dare to call him unsociable, they are mistaken. He is just not used to common forms of socialization.

----------------------------

“You what? That is dangerous.”

You did not expect him to have such a strong outburst of emotion when you told him about your plans. After Rex Lapis steps down from his archon post, you thought Adeptus such as yourself are not bound to stay in Jueyun Karst by contract anymore. According to Ganyu, the familiar mountains of Jueyun pales in comparison when it comes to entertainment events. So you thought some sightseeing would be enjoyable.

Setting your teacup down, you noticed anger flickering in those golden eyes. “Xiao, what is wrong with going to the mortal realm?” He did not look up from his nearly empty plate, simply scrapping the remains instead of answering your question.

Xiao has seen how wicked and twisted those mortals can be. If you want to see mortals, Qingce village is more than sufficient. The harbour is no place for a soft-hearted, naive adeptus such as yourself. The Yaksha cannot even bear to imagine how those greedy creatures would exploit your kindness. It is dangerous, especially with foreigners like the Fatui scheming in broad daylight. You would probably be so blissfully oblivious to those lies behind masks. Your abilities are not suitable for fighting, unlike his own. What if you fall for those dirty tricks?

Xiao will not allow any harm to befall you.

That is his duty as a guardian Yaksha, as one of Rex Lapis’s subordinates.

Since his contract forbids him from killing mortals unless there is no other option, Xiao would have to figure out other ways to not let you fall into their schemes. You always said Jueyun Karst is plain and uneventful, but that is better than being reduced to a pet or target, by some vile merchants or researchers.

Who is going to smile at him, treat his cuts and bruises with such gentleness and cook the most delicious almond tofu for him when you are gone?

Immense anger washes over him, like stormy tides at the thought of you leaving and never coming back.

“Are you perhaps worried about me, Xiao?” You walked to the other side of the floating island to reboil water for more tea, so you missed the momentarily blush on his cheeks.

Worried? Of course, he would be concerned. It would be his fault if you do manage to get yourself harmed, or killed. The others would surely blame him too, as your relation to him is no secret in the close circle of Adepti.

Those filthy mortals are not worth a single shred of your warmth.

If bloodbaths for Liyue harbour means you will remain safe and sound… No, this is a dangerous thought, Xiao knows well that he must not encourage it. But it is not off the table entirely, either.

Convincing others is never Xiao’s forte, but he has to try, for the sake of your safety.

------------------------------------

‘Cold up in Colter’

Fuck, what a mess Blackwater had been. The Pinkertons were on them faster than ever and they found themselves fleeing from a blood bath.

That was almost three days ago and Micah hadn’t had an ounce of sleep. He’d been sent out with John to scout ahead, having found a homestead which ended up burning at the hand of O’Driscoll’s. Okay maybe house burning down was his fault but he tends to make stupid decisions when he’s had little to know sleep. And it was so fucking cold.

That didn’t stop heat rising to his face when he felt Arthur’s hands on his shoulder, pushing him back with a roughness he could only wish for in another way. Damn Arthur Morgan and his ability to have Micah curling in on himself and blushing like a virgin at the mere thought of a hand on his shoulder.

He should hate Arthur, really the two are nothing more than rivals, competing for the spot of Dutch Van Der Linde’s right hand. At the beginning, almost six months ago now, Micah couldn’t stand the sight of the man but somehow that anger tapered off into something more akin to admiration and that admiration slowly turned to desire.

He’ll never admit to how badly he wants Arthur but he won’t deny however that he’s pushed the man’s buttons more than once just to have an interaction with him. All he had to do start a silly argument over camp earnings or a bet at five finger fillet to have the man shaking him by the collar and threatening to break his nose.

It almost always ended with Micah sneaking off into the woods with half a bottle of whiskey and his pants bunched around his ankles as he thought of the way Arthur roughed him up by his shirt collar. Fuck he was pathetic sometimes.

There were other occasions where the two had actually managed to get along and that’s what pissed Micah off more than any threats of violence. Arthur just had to go and bring him a beer as he grabbed one for himself, letting their fingers touch accidentally. Or he went and offered him a seat by the fireplace where they ended up much to close for his comfort. Damn Arthur for always leaving him short of breath with a hole in his heart.

Despite what Micah did to impress Dutch, Arthur was still the camp’s favourite by a mile and he never failed to outcompete him in the eyes of the gang. Micah never minded much, not looking for anyone’s approval, but the thought of proving himself to Arthur, of being worthy of his praise is enough to have his wild side reined in.

Naturally that didn’t stop Micah from losing it from time to time and wasn’t surprised when his jealousy shot up again as Miss Grimshaw announced Arthur got his own cabin while he shared with the rest of the fellers. And he’d be damned if he had to share a room with Williamson who didn’t stop snoring.

That’s why he found himself huddled in the makeshift stables, choosing instead to wrap himself in his coat and down a bottle of whiskey to wait the night out. He cold planks he was sitting on offered little comfort and the draft in the room had his lip shaking. But at least he wouldn’t have anyone in his hair and he’d be left alone, just the way he liked it.

Of course that didn’t last long when the cranky wooden door was barged open, spooking some of the horses in the opposite end of the room. A broad figure entered the room, blocking most of the door way but that didn’t stop to whoosh of cold air flood into the room, draining even more colour from his face.

It wasn’t until the door was closed and the man stepped closer when he realised it was Arthur.

“Micah? What the hell are you doing in here?”

Arthur sounded surprised, with only a hint of concern in his voice.

“Sleepin’— what the hell ya doing here Morgan?”

There wasn’t much of a response from Arthur, only a quiet noise which was barely heard over the whistle of the wind between the planks. He walked over to the horses, checking over them and ensuring none of them were freezing to death. Micah watched in silence, scared to disturb the man as he patted along Taima’s neck.

It wasn’t until after Arthur had checked over all the horses did he turn his attention to Micah.

Micah watched as Arthur’s gloved hand extended out and offered itself to him, he hesitated before taking before taking it and being pulled to his feet. Arthur’s hand draped over his shoulder which he didn’t realise had shaking in an effort to keep warm, having drunk the remaining whiskey from the bottle.

“Common now, yer gonna freeze in here alone.”

Micah dug his heels into the ground, not allowing Arthur to pull him any further to the door as he tried to hold his voice steady. He’d be damned if he ever let Arthur know just how much he affected him.

“I ain’t sharing a bunk with Williams—“

Arthur tutted, pulling Micah out the door as he pushed him towards his cabin in the snow storm.

“Quit yer yapping, you’re sharing with me and I ain’t having any more folk die tonight. Now let’s go.”

Arthur didn’t utter another word until they were well and truely in his room, wrapped in a blanket that was barely big enough for the two of them. The bed wasn’t much bigger, having been made for one person which was evident by Arthur pressing against Micah’s back in efforts for them to fit. The only thing that kept them apart was the fabric of their jackets, otherwise Arthur would probably hear Micah’s heartbeat which was beating much to fast for his liking.

The uncomfortable silence was broken when Micah cursed under his breath which caused his teeth to chatter and Arthur spoke up.

“Yer still cold, c'mere”

Micah’s breath fell short as Arthur’s hands slid under his coat, resting his hands on his tummy to use his body heat as a source of warmth. In doing so Arthur had moved even closer, ensuring Micah’s back was flush against his chest.

Despite that Micah wanted to protest, to go straight to his default of arguing he couldn’t help but feel as he began to warm up and he slowly relaxed under his hands.

A blush rose high on his cheeks as Arthur also relaxed into their embrace, accidentally letting his hands drift lower until he felt the hard press of Micah’s straining erection against his knuckle.

Micah instantly sucked in a breath, panicking and trying to push his way out of Arthur’s hold.

“Shit Arthur I—“

Micah froze as Arthur gently pulled him back to the bed and rubbed slow circles along his stomach.

“S’alright Micah, I’m not mad…”

Arthur held him close, letting him relax before talking again before he whispered right into the shell of his ear.

“…This what you want? Is this why you’re always staring at me from across camp, why yer always picking fights and asking me to robberies?”

A high pitched noise left Micah as he shivered, feeling Arthur’s hot breath against his ear. His blush deepened as he pushed back slightly into him, whimpering at the feel of Arthur’s own erection pressed against his ass.

Fuck it, he thought as heat pooled in his abdomen and he finally allowed himself to have the one thing he’d been craving for months. He nodded frantically, grinding back onto Arthur’s clothed dick and squirming in his grip.

“Relax boy, gonna give you everything you’ve been waiting for— just be good and you’ll get it”

Micah nodded in agreement, a needy, desperate sound leaving him at the promise of praise. He wanted, no needed to be praised by the man so badly that he’d do anything for an ounce of it from the man.

“Oh god Arthur! I need it, need you. Fuck I can be good I promise.”

He knew he was probably being too loud but apart of him didn’t have it in him to care. He moaned softly as Arthur moved him to roll onto his back, towering over him but ensuring they were still kept under the blanket.

Arthur spent the next ten minutes undressing him without exposing much of his skin to the cold. He unbuttoned the lower buttons of his leather jacket, enough for Arthur to work his fly down and pull one pant leg off. He whined pitifully, grabbing at the lapels of Arthur’s coat in a silent plea for him to undress him properly.

Micah mentally scolded himself at just how desperate he was for Arthur to rip his clothes off and fuck him like a bitch in heat but he knew that wasn’t happening any time soon. Arthur however caught on pretty quickly to what he wanted, it seemed the man knew just what made him tick.

“I know sweetheart, once we’re well and truly outta here I’ll get us a room and we can do this properly.”

Micah’s eyes beamed at the thought of Arthur taking him to a hotel in the future, panting as his mind raced with images of Morgan making him fall apart on his cock for hours on end.

While Micah was busy in his mind, Arthur took the opportunity to retrieve the gun oil from his satchel. It certainly wasn’t the best option but it was their only choice with their limited supplies.

Arthur draped himself back over Micah’s body, kissing at his jaw and nibbling as he coated his fingers. The air was cold, only making the oil feel colder as he slowly dipped his index finger past Micah’s rim.

A devilish grin came to Arthur’s face as he heard Micah sigh and take his finger easily, deciding to work his way up to two sooner than he was expecting.

“You’ve wanted this for a long time haven’t you? I saw you once, bout a week ago. Head down, ass up with three of yer fingers inside you while you cried out for me to fuck you. It all clicked in my head then when you started acting different around me at camp.”

Micah flushed a deep red, coughing on air as he realised Arthur knew about his little crush. He tried to think of an excuse, to weasel his way out of it but his thoughts died in his head when Arthur twisted his fingers, scissoring and stretching him open before adding a third.

Arthur dragged a lip along Micah’s cheek to his lip, ghosting his lips over his before kissing him properly. This time Micah didn’t even try to fight for dominance, opening his mouth instantly for Arthur’s tongue to enter. Instead he sighed into it, pulling his legs to wrap around his waist as his hands wrapped around his lover’s shoulder.

It went on like that until Arthur was satisfied that Micah was well prepped enough, simultaneously rubbing against Micah’s prostate while he kissed him deeply. He only pulled away to pull his own leaking member out, bunching his pants around his thighs so he had enough room to move but could stay warm. He coated the rest of the oil onto his member, jerking slowly as he stared down at the sight of Micah below him.

Micah looked like an absolute mess against the pillows already, his face was flush and the scarf around his head had unwrapped slightly, revealing his disheveled blond hair. His chest was heaving as he panted and his thighs shook from pleasure as the weakly wrapped around his waist.

“You look so pretty like this sweetheart”

To say that Micah hated the pet name was a lie, one that he didn’t try deny as he moaned softly. His back arched and he gripped Arthur’s coat tightly as he felt his cock slide between his cheeks and over his hole. He’s wanted this for so long now and yet somehow it still didn’t quite feel real as his mind was clouded with arousal.

Micah’s toes curled and he moaned when he felt Arthur push into him, slowly inching forward until he felt him bottom out.

“Ah— ah! Oh Arthur fuck! Please fuck me, I’ll be good I swear.”

Micah practically sobbed with pleasure as Arthur set up a fast pace, pulling almost all the way out till just the tip was left inside his tight hole before pushing back in quickly, brushing his prostate in the process. His cock twitched from where it rested against his tummy, pinned between Arthur’s jacket which caused a string of moans to fall from his mouth.

“Look at you, so good for me— fucking perfect Micah. Such a good boy”

Arthur’s hands came to hold onto Micah’s hips for leverage, pulling on his slight muffin top under the jacket to help pull him back to meet his thrusts. Beneath him he heard Micah whine and whimper at the praise so desperately needed to hear.

Micah bought a finger up to his mouth, biting on his knuckle to silence any more noises he deemed to be pathetic from slipping out of him. He hated how close he already was just from being praised by Arthur.

It seemed Arthur wasn’t having any of it when he pulled his finger away from his mouth before kissing him like he had done not that long ago. He swallowed every one of Micah’s noises, mindful of Dutch sleeping next door and slowing his thrusts to something deeper and slower.

His hands roamed all over Micah’s clothed body, breaking away for air and whispering praises down his ear.

“That’s it, make those pretty noises for me sweetheart.”

Micah eye’s rolled into his head as he cried out.

“You’re mine, all for me— my good boy.”

More moans slipped from his lips.

“Atta boy— taking me so well, so good.”

His back arched and he withered in his embrace

“So eager to please aren’t you? I’ll take care of you now boy.”

“—Arthur! I’m close— Ah, I’m gonna—“

“Go on sweetheart cum for me…that’s it good boy.”

Micah’s whole body when rigid as he finally came. His mouth hung open, tongue lolling out as his orgasm dragged out with each thrust Arthur delivered, eager to chase his own.

He collapsed into the pillow, thighs shaking as he whined at the oversensitivity. It didn’t last long before Arthur’s thrusts changed pace to something more erratic, picking up the pace as he spilled his load inside him.

Arthur groaned into his neck, pulling him close and collapsing into him as he regained his breath.

He pulled out slowly with a wet and obscene pop, sitting up and helping Micah put his clothes back on. Micah only weakly managed to fiddle with the button on his jacket while Arthur gently manhandled his jelly-like limbs to fit back into his pant leg. He used the blanket to wipe the cum off his tummy, a weak attempt at cleaning up and something they would both no doubt regret come tomorrow morning but for now they were keen to sleep after such a horrific and chaotic few days.

Arthur pulled Micah into their original position for the night, the only difference being that his face was now tucked into his chest. Arthur rested his chin of Micah’s head, littering his hair with kisses as he played with his hair between his rough fingers.

Micah was the first to fall asleep, curled up with his forehead against Arthur’s collarbone. Arthur wasn’t far behind him either, finally letting himself get some much needed rest but not before he pressed a soft kiss to his hairline.

Word Count: 1523

     Gentle lips trailed down your body, leaving kisses wherever they could. A light gasp left your mouth as they press into your soft breasts. Kira hums in appreciation, using his thumbs to massage into your hips. He wraps his mouth around your nipple, tongue swirling around it. You arch into his touch, letting out a pleasant moan. 

     Satisfied with the state he’s left you in, he lifts his head up, bright blue eyes looking sweetly into yours. You bring your hand up, cupping his cheek, watching him seemingly melt into your touch. More kisses were placed on your palms and fingers, gradually getting more feverous with every passing moment. You chuckled. He’s always been a little weak to your touch, it was sweet really.

     You couldn’t count how many times you had watched him get distracted from whatever he was doing as your hands drift over his sides, wrapping your arms around him in a hug. Or how often he came home from work, clearly stressed about something. Without fail, you would walk over to him, gently brushing your delicate fingers across his cheekbone. And without fail, he would lean into you, lavishing your hands with gentle kisses until he felt better.

     Though, it never quite lasts as long as you wanted. Kira’s kisses had always been special, but when your hands are in his; when his lips are brushing against your palm, there’s a rush that surges throughout your body. He always seems to notice this and cuts things off before you have the chance to make sense of the wave of feelings. You begin to wonder what would happen if he stayed. What would he do?

     Your mind begins to wander as he continues to decorate your palms with his lips, gradually moving down to your collar bones. You feel his hips roll into you, sending you further into your fantasies. Images of his mouth wrapped around your thumb, enveloping it in warmth. A moan dances over your lips. The image changes to him cleaning something off your palm, but it’s only there for a minute.

     “You’re so good, (Y/N).”

     He breaks you out of your daze, moving his attention lower and lower until he’s hovering above his genitals. Kira places a delicate kiss above his prize before diving in. His tongue licks a long stripe up from the bottom of your vag then up to your clit. You keen, lifting your hips up into his mouth.

     “Don’t move, (Y/N)-that’s it. Stay right there. So beautiful.” His voice is barely above a whisper as he kisses into your plush thighs for a moment, basking in the warmth of your skin. His lips return to your wet folds. Your hands run through his blonde locks, careful not to mess his hair up too much. The hum he lets out vibrates throughout your body, encouraging him more. 

     Kira’s eyes roll back into his head as your fingernails graze against his scalp, setting his nerves on fire. His hands dig into your hips a little more rough than he normally would, attempting to shift his focus to something other than your hands. He knows his nature all too well and has been trying to avoid it, not wanting to lose you just yet. The grip on his hair gets tighter as he hits a nerve in you, one finger slipping in, pushing on your sweet spot.

     “Oh!” You cry out, not caring about his hair anymore, just wanting him to- “oh! There! Yes, yes, yes!”

     The same dialogue is running through his mind as your hands tease him more, threatening to push him over the edge. His boner is almost painful now, pressed into the mattress. He moans again, losing himself in the moment all too quickly. 

     Suddenly, he pulls back, practically throwing your hands off him. Too soon. Not yet. 

     Kira catches his breath while you catch yours, avoiding your gaze. You lean up, bringing your hand back to his cheek. The desperate moan he lets out surprises both of you, wrapping his hand around yours. His breath is heavy. You’re so soft. So warm. 

     “Kira?” You whisper his name. Very rarely have you seen him like this, so riled up. Normally, he would leave, but your touch has him under some kind of spell. What would happen if you push him a little more? The images of him from before return to you, hanging in front of you, tempting you. You graze your thumb over his lips, testing the waters.

     A desperate, breathy moan rips through his throat and he leans in further, holding your hand close.

     “Do you like that?” You ask. 

     “Oooh~ yes,” he moans. You think for a minute, then decide to turn the tables.

     “Get on your back,” you order, gently pushing on his neck, forcing him to lean back.

     “What.” He looks at you a little perplexed, but there’s something in his eyes, some kind of spark that urges you to go further. 

     “I said-” you drove him further back, letting your voice drop into a more serious tone “-get on your back.”

     He complies, hands drifting to your hips, helping you situate yourself on his lap. God, what a temptress you were, turning him on like this. You rocked your hips back and forth, teasing the tip of his cock with your slick folds. He loved it. Your hands squeezed a little more, watching his eyes roll back in bliss. You don’t know what came over you two, but you were thankful. Not that your sex life was boring by any means, but seeing him so-

     “Uuuhnn!~” He moans loudly, matching the movement of your hips.

     Submissive. It makes you wish you had done this sooner. 

     “Not so fast, dear.” You coo, brushing his cheek with your free hand. “Be good for me and stay still, you can do that, right?”

     “Yesss.” Kira hisses. Control was what he did best, of course he could stay still. You moved your hand again, this time, gently raking your nails down his chest and he moans loudly again. Maybe he couldn’t control himself. You were so close, mere centimetres away from pushing him over the edge. “M-mooorrre.” 

     Your thumb glides up his chin, settling on his bottom lip. He opens his mouth, expecting you to put it in, but you don’t.

     “More? Tch, greedy.” You smile down at him, slowly replacing your thumb with your index and middle finger. “Open.” He obeys eagerly.

     With your free hand, you reach behind you, positioning his cock at your slick entrance. Slowly, you slide your fingers into Kira’s mouth. At the same time, you spear yourself on him, relishing in the way he stretches you perfectly. You both moan at the combined feeling, basking in each other’s warmth. His tongue swirls the underside of your fingers, setting your nerves on fire.

     His fingers dig into your thighs, nails no doubt leaving crescent shapes in your skin. The confidence he had in his control was quickly fading the more you pushed your digits into his mouth. You rolled your hips forward, equally losing yourself in the newfound pleasure. Why hadn’t you tried this before? The feel of your fingers, enveloped in warmth affected you more than anticipated, leaving you with an ache in your core that was quickly satisfied by his length pushing into every sweet spot you had.

     You wanted more. You bring your unoccupied hand to his throat again, watching his eyes roll back into his head. 

     “Do you like this, Kira? Do you like when I take control like this?” He groans under you, unable to contain himself. “Who knew you could be tamed this easily? I would have done this sooner if I had known it would have made you such a mess.” 

     That was it. That was all he needed to break. Your hips rocked just so, causing you to slip, pushing down on his neck more. Kira saw white as he pinned your hips to his, keeping you still while he quickly unloaded himself in you. Slowly, you pulled your hands back, watching his face as he came down from his orgasm. He seemed to be stuck in a perpetual state of bliss as you massaged circles into his collarbones.

     Finally, he came back to you, satisfaction painted all over his face. He traced a delicate finger over your cheekbone before cupping it in his hand. You nuzzled into it, basking in the warmth. Then, his thumb trailed over your lower lips just like yours did before. You enjoyed it for a moment, then realized what he was doing, shooting him a shocked look. Playfully, you try to pull away, not wanting to get trapped, but he was too quick, grabbing hold of your neck and pushing you back while he sat up.

     He was still between your legs as your back pressed into the mattress. Kira’s eyes seemed a little darker now. 

     “Did you really think you’d get away with that, (Y/N)?” He pressed his lips into yours, biting the lower one gently. You had a sneaking suspicion it was going to be a long night.

let me say this or i won't fall asleep at night...

i am absolutely, 100%, fucking obsessed with Damage Control. ur writing is very different with others and I'm here for it. i would never shut up abt this srsly if u have a million fans, I'd be one of them. if u have 1, that's obviously me. and if u have nothing then i was probably killed by ur talent or some shit. I'll forever suggest this to every person i encounter and force them into reading oml that's how i love them so much

Ohhh wow you don’t know how exciting was this was to wake up to! First off thank you for reading my angsty, minor fluff fics. I know a lot of people don’t really care for a lot of angst 💀when I first started writing and posting in April I guess people weren’t used to a story being written the way I wrote it and they made me question if I should’ve stopped right then and there. I try to keep things fresh, mysterious and unpredictable so it means a lot that you like the way I’m writing things.

I’m obsessed with them too especially since damage control was supposed to be a one shot now look at it, a series that has alternate universes within its self. 😂 I started like 4 drafts for damage control bc it’s a lot to work with between them whether it’s angst, smut, or dark shit lol again thank you for reading and thank you for the kind words and for sharing my story <3 ahhhh you’re just the sweetest ily anon 🫶🏽🥰

[s3as1cks4m]

@awxward I AM SO SORRY I PRESSED POST INSTEAD OF DRAFTS AND NOW IDK WTF I DID😭 but i'll give you the Headcanons here!! ^_^

Tsuzuru Headcanons!!

Nothing in Particular Update #2

It’s the Nothing and Particular and Everything update part two: the electric booglaloo. This one is long, so strap in.

It’s been a while since I wrote an update for this story. To be honest, this one gave me a lot of stress, but here I am! Writing this story feels like it is going very slow. I keep telling myself I’ve made a lot of progress (which is true, I have) but for some reason it doesn’t feel like I have? This is likely just my own insecurity. To be frank, I can’t believe I’m still writing this story. If you had told me in February that I’d still be writing this when the weather got warm, I would have laughed.

I am SO excited that I will finally be able to focus on writing now that I’m out of school. I’m afraid to speak the rough deadline that I’ve given myself for this story (the end of August-early September) but now that I’ve spoken it into existence, I hope I can finish! (I hope I can stop watching dumb videogame playthroughs and listening to The Magnus Archives and get something done)

Here is a link to the story introduction and previous update!

TAGLIST (ask to be +/-); @wannabeauthorzofija @a-completely-normal-writer @baguettethebooklover​ @corkytheguar @writeherewaiting

STORY CHANGES/THOUGHTS/IDEAS: 

Here is a big one: I’ve been trying to write this story for myself. I started writing Ray’s story from a place that was personal to me, but I feel like, as that part of myself has begun to heal, I’ve started to think about what a reader would want out of the story. I’m realizing that this is my story so it has to be what I want. Drafts are drafts for a reason, so I’m going to try to get better at letting myself explore what is fun to me.

I always thought I was a discovery writer (I still sort of think I am) but as I’ve finished small sections of the story, I am finding that it’s very helpful to do a rough outline of scenes in upcoming chapters. (I also recommend turning to this if something doesn’t work and you need to retrace your steps!) Just helps me feel more organized!

Jude’s character has got to be one of the most difficult personalities I’ve ever written. Putting her beside Ray just makes it harder. Where Ray is secretive and keeps to herself, Jude is ready to unpack her entire life’s story to anyone. I find that I really have to slow down when writing their interactions. I know this is going to be nowhere near perfect in the first draft, but I think it is a main contributor to my slow writing.

I really like this little narrative I’ve created in the background of the main plot with Ray and Lonan. I love writing these scenes because it’s a way for me to use Lonan when he’s not actively with Ray and to show why Ray is predetermined about things at certain points. Also I love their friendship so much <3

CONGRATULATIONS TO ME on starting to read again because I forgot how much of a help reading other people’s stories can be when you’re struggling with your own oml

I now have a set timeline for the story! Takes place ~4-5 months.

I did that thing where you write a letter from the characters’ perspectives and that was kind of fun

Also just for fun I thought I’d add in that I spent an hour and a half last week filling up a page in my sketchbook with diagrams of the plot. It feels good to be a mad scientist

EXCERPTS UNDER THE CUT!

*At this point, I’m only sharing writing that I am really proud of in order not to spoil the story! This is because I am unsure whether I want to publish this story someday. With that said, that does NOT give you permission to steal my ideas!

CHAPTER: NIGHT CRIES

#1

In the last week of summer, I did everything I could to avoid post-vacation blues. I rode my bike along the gravel roads with no destination, wore my dark sunglasses to people-watch, and fed salami to the minnows that floated on the cusps of boulders. Usually, I sat still for so long that my elbows turned a deep shade of red and the blood in my toes buzzed.

New pockets seemed to open up in Point Blink every day. And with them, came new people. Most of them were older – a middle aged woman who caked her lipstick on, an uncle estranged from his brother, a couple who had miscarried. I hadn’t forgotten about the kids at Mothouse. It was impossible not to think about them. It wasn’t just that I’d never seen them before.

#2

The girl’s limp cigarette bled a trail of smoke that seeped into my Vans. My shirt folded like skin over my bed post. Haunted the room – foiled my mauve sheets and teased my locks. Swept the curtains apart and heated the oak floor. Beams of moonlight leapt to my bookcases; highlighted the posters from various podcasts and bands that I listened to. Wind whistled when I was too still. She forced me to look outside, onto the dark cul-de-sac lit by the reflections of forming rain puddles. No matter whether I sat at my desk or burrowed under my sheets, I felt out of place. She made my bedroom louder. She made my bedroom quieter.

I decided it would probably be best if I never saw her again.

To be honest, I don’t remember much about writing this chapter because it was over a month ago (sorry) but I’m still quite happy with the prose! This comes in after Ray sees Jude for the first time at Mothouse. Based on a first impression, decides that she might want be friends with Jude.

CHAPTER: SORRY

#1 

If you spend any long amount of time with someone, you’ll become a thief to their behaviors. If I stared long enough, trees began to replace all of the people we’d ever seen. Oaks had roots that serpentined the ground like children splashing in the bay, pines with needles like spindly old hands, maples with hollows like watchful eyes – all things Lonan had taught me to observe.

CHAPTER: GHOSTS

Then there was the sea – violent and knowing as it romped within bays and alcoves. She had eaten me many times before, both my father and Lonan too. Gulped them as if they were shining plastic wrappings left behind after a meal. I spited her for inviting me once again. I reached up again to grapple with the next rung. It twisted and offered a low whistle.

In these two chapters, Ray is on a photography trip with her class. This is the first time she’s been on this annual trip without Lonan. She left that morning with a goal of being independent and learning to get on with one of the only people she has felt close to. I realize now that the Ghost excerpt sort of sounds like her dad and Lonan have drowned?? Which was not my intention??

CHAPTER: A DIVINE INTERVENTION

#1

“Do you believe in ghosts?” A raspy voice teased from behind me. Cigarette smoke tickled the words, like they were stuck together with jelly inside of her. The question wasn’t particularly calming, but it strengthened my grip on reality. As if the foiled leaves, bark, and dandelions had sprung from the ground and begun to float, they came crashing back down.

I was made of stone.

“I’m not a ghost,” Jude said. “If I was, a ladder would be a pretty counteractive way to outrun me. I could just float up there and haunt you.”

“Maybe you’re a ghost,” she asked, her voice distant.

I shifted my grasp up and down the sides of the ladder. “What?”

“Don’t you believe in ghosts?”

I was reading back some of Ray and Jude’s conversation and there are so many snippets of dialogue that make me laugh because I totally forgot I wrote them... but UGhhH I don’t know if I want to share them because I don’t know whether or not I want to try and publish the story someday. Speaking of that, it’s sort of because it’s so personal to me? I don’t know (this is for future me to pursue) Honestly though, reading these back has made me really happy :)

#2

I wanted to shake her by the shoulders. She acted as though Point Blink could breathe – as though corpses in the cemetery might pull the grass away like dead skin, neighbors would draw blades, and blood-salt would stain her clothes rather than that from the sea. “Trust me, they’ll forgive you. But, I’m just saying, most people around here don’t care nearly as much as you think so. Most of them are way older anyways, so they’re tired of us.”

“Is that you complimenting yourself?” Jude asked.

“Not intentionally,” I said, “but I will take it.”

She laughed. “You shouldn’t be so nice to strangers.”

I wasn’t trying to be. I just didn’t think I wanted her to dislike me.

#3

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing or a good thing,” Jude said. “Being good gets you tucked into a thousand different memories. Being good makes you live a lifetime.”

I almost laughed, but then I wondered what I was to her now. “I don’t talk to lots of people.”

“Sometimes there aren’t many people to talk to. But I thought you would have loads of friends.”

I wasn’t sure what to say to that. “I thought you would too.”

Alarm like grief lit her eyes, but she laughed. I did too.

“You hardly know me,” she said quietly.

Then the girls explore some old newspapers and letters in a fire tower! Spooky fun!

CHAPTER: YOU LET THIS HAPPEN

This isn’t a major spoiler as it’s literally in the blurb I wrote, but Ray and Jude are caught (targeted..??)  in a fire. Ray is brought back to a field where she is questioned.

CHAPTER: NOTHING HAPPENS

He was quiet for several moments while he painted a picture with what little details I had given him, then said, “It’s unfair. I think that’s why it hurts.”

“Because we almost got hurt?”

“No. Because it came true.”

His gentle, ragged voice made me think I could tell him anything. Sometimes, I think that, even then, he knew I left something out.

Ray talks to Lonan after the fire... She’s being a bit dishonest about what actually happened.

CHAPTER: WHY NOT

I remember how the barest amount of red light glared across Lonan’s entire scalp and washed his boyish curls magenta from the roots out. When Jude leaned back on the counter, she melded into the darkness.

This chapter is just part of the narrative that I created with Ray and Lonan’s friendship. There isn’t much I want to spoil from it, but I liked this paragraph!

CHAPTER: INEVITABLE

“We didn’t do anything,” I said.        

“Someone did. Why won’t you believe me?”

 “I think I would remember whether or not someone was there with us,” I said, “even if we didn’t have the picture.”

This was untrue. I hung lots of photos in my room. A long time would pass before I went to a restaurant again, or a specific coven on one of the beaches, or an outfit that I wore, and I would look into one of my pictures and remember it, and then I would be quite angry with myself that I had almost forgotten that thing forever.

“I don’t think you understand what I mean,” Jude said. I didn’t like the way she’d lowered her voice. She sounded different every time I saw her. She reached out her arm so our photos were side by side and our fingers were almost touching. “I don’t think you want to.”

Ray finds herself alone in the school’s dark room with Jude. Based on the contents of one of her photos, she tries to convince Ray that there is more to the fire than what meets the eye.

CHAPTER: (this one is untitled)

I didn’t mind that he followed me everywhere. Even when he was quiet, I didn’t find it strange to be around him. We sat silently through films and went on walks. Once, he had fallen asleep while watching The Iron Giant in my bed. I didn’t know if I should wake him up once it ended. I tried not to stare at him. He’d rolled onto his side and bundled himself in one of my blankets covered in stars up to his shoulders so only his small face poked out like a baby owl’s. His soft breath messed his dirty gold coils. They were at their longest. Except for the ebbing light from a candle on my desk, my house was asleep – Lonan needed to go home.

For the first time, I wondered if anyone cared where he was.

Another small part of the little friendship narrative! (This really is the part of the story where I get nostalgic for my childhood, isn’t it) Ray starts to discover more about Lonan’s home life in this part of the story, but there’s not much that I think I want to reveal about that for now.

CHAPTER: THE CRUX OF IT

Why did I feel so paranoid? I found myself staring out the window, into the film of blue that the late sun shown onto the grass and trying to remember what summer felt like.

My main problem was that I didn’t know how to talk to Jude unless it was about Sugarfell. I ran from the hush of cigarette smoke behind closing doors and heard her loud voice in conversations. Even though there might have still been a part of me that wanted to be friends with her, I didn’t have much to base that feeling off of. I could have spent hours clicking the little pieces of her that I had together, but the crux of it was that I would never know Jude unless I forced myself to.

For some reason, that really scared me.

I spent all week trying to think of what to say to her. By Friday afternoon, I still had nothing.

I left off writing with Ray actively avoiding Jude’s little investigation into the arsonist. Ray doesn’t want to be involved in this because she feels that it will throw her sense of normalcy off course. She really just wants to learn how to adapt to a life without her best friend. (It doesn’t help that she’s got fresh trauma)

What will Ray decide? I don’t know. We shall see. (just kidding I know)

Sorry this update was longer! I think I would like to start updating more often than once a month just because they would be shorter and those of you reading this won’t forget what happened in the last update. There are thousands and thousands of words that didn’t show up in this update because - like I said - I don’t know whether I want to publish this story ever?? I’ll probably talk more about this in a separate update.

Thank you so much to those of you who read about my story! I hope you enjoy it!

:)

p.s. btw I now have a myWriteClub account! You can check it out here and stalk me as I tragically fail my writing goals!

[thinkingisadangerouspastime]

what do you think about the aang is possessive comment? about EIP ruining kataang? also about there being an implied (and nonexistent) love triangle thrown in nearing the end of the series as a tease?

I think fandom just likes to complain, lmao, but I’ll address each of these one at a time!

1) “aang is possessive”

This argument is honestly the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard because it’s just so obviously false?? Possessive is literally defined as “demanding someone’s total attention and love,” which Aang never does? Aang always respects Katara’s position in their relationship, especially after the EIP kiss, which everyone knows was entirely inappropriate and wrong of him. Aang recognizes her hesitation and makes no more romantic attempts towards her after that moment. Not one! Katara is the one who initiates them getting together in the finale because the war is finally over and she is no longer afraid of losing him. I beg people, do point to the “possessiveness” you’re referring to, because the closest we get to any character being possessive is Zuko in “The Beach”:

Zuko: [Side-view of Zuko and Mai walking.] He thinks he’s so great. [To Mai.] Well, what do you think of him?

Mai: I don’t have any opinion about him. I hardly know him.

Zuko: You like him, don’t you? [Mai sighs and walks away.]

//

Ruon-Jian: What are you doing?

Zuko: [Close-up. Angrily.] Stop talking to my girlfriend!

Ruon-Jian: [Side-view. Walks up to Zuko.] Relax. It’s just a party.

Frontal view of Ruon-Jian. Zuko knocks him across the room into a vase, which breaks from the force.

Yeah, Aang never acts like that. 🤷

Now, this isn’t to say Aang doesn’t get jealous. Jealousy is a perfectly normal and natural emotion, and honestly I’d go so far as to say that everyone has been jealous at least once in their life. What’s key about Aang is he doesn’t act on his jealousy. He doesn’t throw anybody across a room, for one. Sure, he doesn’t want Katara to kiss Jet, so he makes a little quiet comment about it. Pretty normal, and it ends there. Not dissimilar to Katara’s bit of snark about On Ji! Even the EIP comment, which everyone uses to argue that Aang is “possessive” (which again, blatantly untrue, because he does not demand or expect a relationship with Katara as a result of that scene; also all he does is nod lmao and tbh that’s such a healthy reaction to jealousy I mean he doesn’t grab Zuko and chuck him onto the stage like his name is Ruon-Jian, does he?) - Aang literally just gets upset about the implication from an imperialist play that Katara doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. Why?

Let’s be frank: Aang knows, or is fairly certain, that Katara does like him by this point in the series. That’s why he doesn’t ask her “do you like me”. Instead, he asks:

Aang: But it’s true, isn’t it? We kissed at the Invasion, and I thought we were gonna be together. But we’re not.

By this point the show, the viewers know their feelings are mutual. Katara knows how Aang feels about her, and Aang knows Katara likes him, too - he just isn’t sure about how ready she is for a relationship. So him getting upset about the propagandist, pro-imperialism play implying Katara isn’t interested in him, when he essentially knows she does like him, is honestly kind of understandable? Imagine if you were watching a really rude movie about your life and it included a scene of your best friend who you’re already kind of in a relationship with saying that they’re in love with the dude who used to bully you and only think of you as their sibling. Like, that’s kinda wack? I’d be a little upset - and definitely weirded out - too.

(I’ve also seen people argue Aang leaving Guru Pathik to save Katara also somehow demonstrates his so-called possessiveness, as if his love for her and her love for him wasn’t established mere minutes earlier to be the love of the Air Nomads reborn. I don’t think the show could have been any clearer about how mutual, powerful, and honest their love is through that scene. Also, he proceeds to let her go to enter the Avatar state at the end of what? The next episode? So again, any arguments that he was “possessive” and “didn’t let her go” are thus moot and entirely inapplicable points.)

Basically, Aang isn’t “possessive” and people who think he is are just looking for an excuse to hate on him, lmao.

2) “eip ruined kataang”

The only way EIP could have ruined Kataang would be if all the previous Kataang buildup was either terrible or near-nonexistent. And great news! Kataang was built up very well throughout the series, growing from a close, deep friendship to cute, blushy crushes to a true, lasting romance (pretty iconic of them). Even if someone doesn’t ship them, they can acknowledge that within canon, Kataang had a very strong foundation (it’s one of the core relationships of the show, the other being Zuko and Aang as narrative foils). The implication that one poorly written episode somehow cancels out the previous 56 episodes and the following four is embarrassing.

Now, I certainly wouldn’t have minded if there had been a scene dedicated to Aang and Katara discussing his poorly-timed kiss. I ship Kataang, so there is absolutely no reason for me to be opposed to more Kataang content! But A:TLA has a very clear trend of not showing such discussions on screen - example: Zuko never sits down with Katara and apologizes for using her mother’s necklace to manipulate her; Katara never apologizes to Sokka for her callous comment about their mother - so the fact that Katara is the one to initiate their relationship at the end of the serious clearly demonstrates that she has forgiven Aang for his inappropriate kiss and is ready to be with him. (And I’ve said it before - if she can forgive Zuko for all the shit he put them through, she can forgive Aang, her best friend and the guy she loves, for one poorly-timed kiss.) Narratively speaking, ’twas resolved.

Also, it’s incredibly important to consider EIP within the context of the series as a whole. If someone really feels entirely devastated by that one episode, then… their loss? I’m sorry to hear it? 56 episodes of near-flawless buildup - a slight dip + a healthy, logical finale where Katara chooses to be with Aang because she is at last no longer afraid of losing him = more than good enough for me. People can argue her decision doesn’t make sense all they want, but it actually makes perfect sense when you consider what has been built through every previous episode: she was in love with him! You can’t isolate a single episode and expect it to speak for the series as a whole, after all.

Basically, EIP gets blown out of proportion because some people like to pretend it was the only Kataang episode ever written, lmao.

3) love triangle

I always laugh when I see this because where?? The only love triangle in A:TLA was the one fandom invented. Within the canon narrative, Katara and Zuko were never romantically interested in each other. I don’t care about “shipping-goggle interpretations” or AUs or post-canon or early planning that didn’t make it into the final drafts. If you look at A:TLA, if you look at the creators’ intentions, it’s plain as day that Kataang and Maiko were the only romantic pairings planned for Katara and Zuko. And that’s okay! That’s why fanon exists. But people have got to stop whining about a love triangle and ship teases that just… didn’t occur. If they read Zuko and Katara’s interactions as romantic, well, that’s great and all, but it’s also on them, lol. That sounds so mean oml I’m sorry y’all 💀. I just mean that Kataang was very clearly written into the show from episode 1 and Maiko from Book 2 (or Book 3 if you really, really don’t like the flashback), so expecting Zuko and Katara to get together doesn’t make any sense (to me) when they never had any romantically-coded interactions.

Yes, of course I’ll admit there were a few Zvtara gags, but that’s exactly what they were - gags. There’s three primary instances:

- June calling the owner of the Water Tribe necklace (whom we know is Katara) Zuko’s girlfriend in Book 1. This moment is mainly hilarious because Zuko promptly redirects the conversation to Aang, lmao, but thinking about the context of A:TLA itself? The assumption of the Fire Nation crown prince being in a relationship with someone from the Water Tribe is honestly pretty concerning given how the Fire Nation is an imperialist conqueror and has all but destroyed the Water Tribes (and has certainly worked to sever the connection between the North and South). So, not exactly a great conclusion on June’s part.

- The EIP gag. I ALWAYS laugh at this one because their reactions are so funny? I love the little disgusted nose wrinkles and scooting away. That’s hysterical to me. But again, thinking about the show itself, EIP is an imperialist play full of Fire Nation propaganda. With that in mind, again, the implication that their crown prince was with someone from the SWT, a nation they brought to its knees by killing all of the waterbenders (but one) and thus eradicating so much of the SWT’s culture? Major red flags! People need to consider the implications of EIP as imperialist propaganda, basically, because that’s what it is. Ignoring that aspect means missing the entire point of the play.

- June part 2. What I said above still applies. Also, they both get embarrassed and hotly deny it, which is kind of the opposite of a ship tease to me? They don’t exchange like an “oh, but what if” glance or anything, lol. And June backs off immediately, so... 🤷

People who interpret that as serious ship teases are, bless their hearts, a little misguided. Those are just funny moments! It’s like Katara and Sokka dressing up as Aang’s parents in “The Headband”. It’s funny! It’s contextual! Sokka and Katara are not romantically interested in each other just because they dressed up as husband and wife (ew), just as Katara and Zuko aren’t romantically interested in each other because there were three jokes about it. I really don’t know what else to say lmao.

Now, I don’t know all about what Bryke did outside of A:TLA in regards to Zuko and Katara’s relationship and fans of it. I wasn’t here for that lol. But I do know that A:TLA built a beautiful, platonic bond akin to surrogate siblings between Zuko and Katara (highlighted by the final Agni Kai with Katara and Azula as foils). Not a love triangle. “The Southern Raiders” was an episode about Katara and Kya, not Zuko and Katara. “The Crossroads of Destiny” paints an aching, gorgeous parallel between Oma and Shu and Katara and Aang, not Katara and Zuko. “The Boiling Rock: Part 2” was an episode involving the loyalty and love of Mai and Zuko, not Katara and Zuko. Katara and Aang had romantic parallels, Mai and Zuko had romantic parallels, while Katara and Zuko - within canon - had strictly platonic development. And honestly, fandom should appreciate that more! How often do we get such an iconic relationship between a guy and a gal that isn’t shadowed by romance? (The answer: not often enough.)

Now, this doesn’t mean don’t ship Katara and Zuko. I don’t care what people ship lmao, and there are some interpretations of Zvtara that I really enjoy (post-canon Zvtara has so much potential,, I die a thousand deaths oml)! But insisting there was some love triangle thrown at the end of the series is a discredit to how well Aang and Katara’s and Zuko and Katara’s relationships were written in A:TLA, and I’m honestly tired of hearing such tomfoolery. A romantic relationship between Zuko and Katara within canon would have completely undermined his entire redemption arc, which further emphasizes that their canon bond was meant to be solely platonic, because why would the writers want to undo what most consider the best redemption arc in animated history? (Simply put, I don’t think they would.)

Also, A:TLA had a very clear history of staying away from love triangles. There’s no Aang x Katara x Jet love triangle. No Yue x Sokka x Suki love triangle. So why would there be an Aang x Katara x Zuko love triangle?

Case in point: there isn’t. Fandom invented it.

So that’s my thoughts, anon! It can be summarized as this: fandom makes up a lot of nonsense that simply rewatching the show can dispute, so maybe we should just start providing episode timestamps to people, lol.

A general note - people are free to disagree with this post, but I ain’t looking to argue, so… make your own post if you want to develop a “counterargument”, I guess? I’m just chillin™ lol I don’t want to fight with people. I can give you my PayPal if you’d really like to engage in a proper academic debate? Anyways. Much love! 💕

MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON TOW

Feel free to agree or disagree. These are just my opinions! :) No shame in differing opinions! Share any thoughts as well!

I hate how you can’t romance anybody in the game. Like I get that the game developers didn’t want that distraction from the storyline but like C’MON you can’t make Felix and Max look that good and take that option away from me.

The companion helmet thing bothers me. Once you put a helmet on a companion, you literally can’t take it off. You can only replace it with a different one. You can set it to where you don’t even see the helmet but it still bothers me.

Fallbrook is my absolute favorite place in the entire game. 

I DESPISE Scylla. GOD I HATE IT.

I wish Felix’s quest was a little bit longer. I feel like every time I just blow through it with no problem.

Same with Ellie’s. Although it requires a good bit of traveling.

Nyoka’s quest, on the other hand, is so damn long. I think it’s because for a good portion of it you have to navigate the Monarch wilderness (which I will shamefully admit that on my 4th play through I still get turned around).

Max’s quest is by far my favorite. The first time I did it I was like “This is boring af” because you’re just hunting down a book and then by the end you’re tripping on drugs.

I never really understood how the drug trip helped him tbh.

Max is an underrated character.

He has the most badass companion ability (Nyoka at a close second).

OKAY I realized it’s easy to miss this detail but Max didn’t go to prison as an inmate...he went as the assigned vicar. Literally I started my 4th play through the other day and I went with a different dialogue choice and he says that and I was like ???

 I wish that there was a dialogue interaction where you can ask him about his days playing tossball.

Or where Felix finds out he was a tossball player.

I wish you could give tossball cards to Felix. I know the point is that you’re supposed to sell them for bits but what if you found one that he didn’t have??

This is more of a question than a statement, but is it true that there’s a way for Felix to give you his favorite tossball stick? I heard that somewhere...

SAM is a king. 

I literally thought Parvati was supposed to be like 18 and then she’s actually 28.

How old is Max supposed to be? My daddy issues need to know.

I feel like Felix broke up with a girl once because she didn’t watch tossball.

I love how Ellie is like “No, don’t get sentimental” but she’s the one who needs it the most.

Parvati taking care of SAM is so cute oml

I wish there were more TOW fanfics on here I have so many saved in my drafts that I wanna post, but I don’t think there’s a big demand for it here.
