Softly, Suddenly:

Y/N's POV:

It wasn’t a sudden realization.

It wasn't falling in love either, More like… growing to love him.

At first it was small things; Remembering each other’s coffee orders, Knowing each other’s takeout orders, Each other’s fears, hopes, dreams,

Long nights spent in surveillance For hours and hours until you fell asleep On his shoulder.

Grueling cases that kept you in the precinct until 3am Whining together over trying to find An open restaurant to order dinner from.

Sharing playlists that you sung to While driving to a crime scene.

And suddenly the goofy, obnoxious ,Sarcastic, man-child of a detective

Didn’t seem so bad.

You saw him in a different light. You noticed every. little. thing. The way he held his pen weird, the furrow in his brows when he focused on paperwork, how he mumbled while writing down things, the little doodles in his notepad that was meant for important notes. Everything.

You often denied liking him romantically claiming he’s just your “best friend” but no one wanted to kiss their best friend, right…?

You’d often find yourself glancing at his lips when he spoke. Noting how they looked so soft and pretty…and kissable. You hoped he didn’t notice. Hoped. You just had to like a detective, didn’t you?

The individuals trained to notice everything. Even the way you’d get lost in his eyes or lips whenever you spoke…You lost track of what Jake was even saying at this point. Because all you could think about�� Was how his voice made you feel safe, How his laugh could drag you out of the darkest mood, How his eyes crinkled when he smiled at you. Only at you. 

You started remembering things You had no business remembering: The day he lent you his jacket when you were shivering, The dumb joke he made that made you laugh until you cried, The way his hand brushed against yours and you didn’t pull away.

And maybe he noticed. Maybe he always did. Because sometimes, He looked at you like you were the only person in the room. Like the world faded away And it was just the two of you; Partners, friends, Maybe something more.

He never pushed, never crossed a line. But sometimes his hand lingered when he passed you your coffee. Sometimes his compliments were a little softer, His gaze a little longer.

And you started hoping. Hoping he felt it too. Hoping this wasn’t all in your head.

Because you were already gone; Not in the crashing, burning way you feared, But in the way that crept up on you, Softly, sweetly, Until he felt like home.

DOWNFALL (a.b.)

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ austin butler & oc: rianne solace ୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

WARNINGS: this story contains some heavy cussing. yes, our lead gal has a bit of a mouth on her. but rightfully so. taps into some heavy themes that revolve around adult-like shit — and to spice it up some sexual content along with some anxiety and depression. if that's not your cup of tea, this may not be the story for you, but if it is — proceed.

summary: Anyone who has met Rianne Solace can tell you that she has the most interesting sense of humor, you'll ever come across. But, it's honestly the only thing that keeps her afloat. Not even the stupid tooth pick umbrella in her drink at a party can keep up. Because Rianne is just Rianne. What happens when she unexpectedly meets, what she describes as a 'gorgeous-lifeguard-ken doll-greek god-super model?' The list goes on - truly. Only for her to find out he's not just some shy, random, and overly attractive guy she met at a party. But the one and only Austin Butler. Like child actor to grown actor actor Austin Butler. Who not only plays the guitar, but also the piano too. Will she push him as far away as the rain, or will he merely become her downfall?

Shen Yuan feels like the type of person to greentext on 4chan about meeting a hot guy and having a crisis but insisting he’s not gay and neither is the nice guy who was so considerate and listened intently to him yap and cooked for him and and—

anonymous

> be me. skinny ass shut-in living on trust fund, basically just waiting to die

> least interesting person ever. Hobbies include reading trash webnovels and then getting pissed about how trash they are

> decide to get a casual job after getting so pissed by the ending of aforementioned trash novel it actually shakes my entire worldview and indirectly sends me to the ER

> coworker is the hottest guy I’ve ever laid eyes on, I’m talking Greek-statue, stallion-novel-protagonist ass beautiful. Perfect height, perfect features, dude looks like he belongs in a luxury brand three piece suit, not a heytea apron that he somehow manages to make look unbelievably good

> start chatting with him, we become friends. Finds out he’s a student working a couple jobs and finding it hard to cover rent

> obviously, offer him my guest room. He says he feels awful freeloading and offers to cook for me in return. No complaints here, his food is heavenly.

> seriously, he’s literally the perfect guy. Cannot find even a single flaw in him. Out of curiosity asks him if he’s interested in dating since he’s single and he shyly says he is

> now confused why he doesn’t have a gf. He could literally have anyone he wants

> he professes his love to me.

can you believe they invented the quote “to be loved is to be changed”

[byghostface]

They are Damian Wayne (the fifth Robin) and Nika (Flatline) from DC comic!

For context, Damian called Nika his girlfriend after their first kiss. Then he didn't contact her after she had suggested a date first (he had been busy with school and crime-fighting with his dad Batman), but he drew her as a lover OC (Nika Noir) of his self-insert OC (Damian Vane).

Batman and Robin(2023)#6

.

→ A silly canon-diverse AU of "They are oomf on twitter, but irl neither of them know"

They are mutuals on the Chirper(DC universe equivalent of Twitter) over that romance manga Damian likes, and they discuss other manga/comics sometimes (It's possible bc they didn't share with each other their socials or contacts in the brief times of being together irl).

Robin(2021)#6, #4

Damian vaguely mentions the idea for his original story but never in great detail or shows his drawings. Nika is showing support and taking an interest in his story, but he doesn't reveal much bc it's still a WIP.

At the time, Damian expressed his worries about how his dad or his girlfriend would react to his story, but Nika assured him that his story would be amazing because his ideas were great, and they gonna love it.

Days later, Damian talks excitedly to Nika about how he has shown some pages to his dad, and how happy he is to able to share his story with his dad and have a bit of feedback without too much worry.

Batman and Robin(2023)#6

Nika cheers for him, then mentions she would be offline for a few days to travel to meet an irl. In fact, She's coming to Gotham to see Damian and handle her sister's situation (more details in Batman and Robin2023 #7, #8).

Batman and Robin(2023)#6

Then when Damian shows Nika his sketchbook drawing of his story, as Nika happily reads and enjoys the art, she comes to a realization…

(they are each other's oomf)

He's an open book💌💭

I don't give a fuck if Valentine's Day is over.

I wrote this after going back to look at this beautiful piece by herbarimoon one too many times :)

AU where cupids are angels that are given human assignments to help them fall in love, and Midoriya's first case is Bakugou Katsuki.

As if finding someone for this difficult human to fall in love with wasn't hard enough, it just had to be the one Midoriya had a soft spot for. As a fledgling angel, he loved to watch humans from above the clouds, but his favorite of all was the bratty blonde man that secretly feeds his scraps to kittens in alleyways and strives to be the best at everything he does.

Midoriya wants to find the perfect partner for this man. He searches high and low, until he's found him! Someone that could love his beloved human enough, and someone his human could love in return. And yet, when push comes to shove, and it's time to fire, he messes up the shot and the arrow gets lodged into Bakugou's heart. For it to work, the arrow has to shoot through his chest. What's even worse is, with this magic love arrow stuck in his heart, Bakugou can now see Midoriya, and the other cupids. And he's fucking pissed.

"Are you kidding me? You had one fucking job and you can't even do that right? You stupid fucking Deku!"

Midoriya promises that he will fix this. He looks for the man that he planned to be Bakugou's partner, but he can't find him anymore! Where did he go?

Meanwhile, Bakugou's upset as all hell. What the fuck is this? Is this fucking real? No way in hell is he going to be set up to fall in love. If he's going to fall in love, it will be because he chooses the fucker. Midoriya has to drag him kicking and screaming to find his future partner. People stare after him likes he's crazy, since they can't see the angel holding his wrist and pulling him along.

Try as he might, Midoriya can't find the perfect match again. Well... They'd have to keep trying. What a mess he's gotten himself into.

Bakugou doesn't fucking know what to do. This fuck ass angel keeps following him around, into his home, to his work, hovering over him worried and shit. And on top of that, he's got this arrow sticking out of him. He won't admit it to the idiot, but it hurts. It hurts to put his clothes on, even though the arrow phases through them. It hurts when he wasn't even thinking about it, a dull throbbing in his chest. Because obviously it would hurt to have something stuck in your heart. But fuck that bastard. He doesn't have to know shit about him. Like hell he'd fall in love with whatever random fucker Deku assigned to him. He can deal. He can figure his own way out of this. Apparently they can't just pull out the arrow, otherwise his heart might be damaged beyond repair - meaning he won't be able to fall in love afterwards. He doesn't actually believe that; not until he tries to tug on it at night when the angel is sleeping on his couch and it hurts like a motherfucker.

Fine, okay, this is going to take some time. He just doesn't really get why... There's this nagging sensation in the back of his mind... Why there is something familiar about this angel guy...

Shenanigans ensue. Obviously. Bakugou looks kind of strange half the time, sometimes talking to someone that isn't there. But it's only when he goes to his parents house for something or other, and he sees a picture of himself from childhood. There, beside him, his old friend who drowned in the river when they were kids. It looks just like this fucker that's been harassing him and sleeping on his couch and consuming all of his sweets because even though he doesn't need them, he still has a sweet tooth (and, well, Bakugou could speak up more if it really pissed him off...)

That night he shows Midoriya the picture, and Midoriya is stunned. That is him. Truly. But...he doesn't remember that. It's kind of freaky. Bakugou can tell that it freaks him out, too. And that's when he starts to suspect.

When Midoriya sleeps that night, he dreams of being a child, of playing with his best friend. His best friend, who is the coolest in the whole world, the strongest, the bravest. Going out to play one day when it's raining and his friend... Ka... Ka... His friend stayed home that day. And he slips on the log they used to cross all the time and plummets to the waters below... It's dark, and so, so cold...

He wakes up with a gasp and a splitting headache. Midoriya tries to recall his earliest memory, but the further back he goes, the foggier it gets. No one can really remember their first day alive, their beginning, can they? But he remembers the heavens, a life that feels so long ago, though its only been weeks. He was a bit of an outcast up there, longing constantly for the humans, for one in particular...

That morning, Bakugou studies him silently, but doesn't speak, which is fine, because Midoriya doesn't feel like speaking, either.

They're in that same park, the one where Bakugou first saw him. They're sitting on the bench together, strangely silent. Normally they bicker; Midoriya points out people and asks Bakugou about them, if he's interested, and Bakugou proceeds to tell him all the ways he hates them. Why Bakugou always agreed to sit with him and watch, he could not explain. But today, Midoriya is quietly focused.

Suddenly, he shoots up and grabs Bakugou's hand, pulling him along. There! There he is! The man Midoriya paired him with originally. And Bakugou finally gets a good look at him. Crap! He's his type... He looks at Midorya's excited face, seeing the cupid looking only at their target, and Bakugou frowns. Yeah, okay, maybe he kind of gets Bakugou after all.

"Keep your eyes on him!"

Bakugou digs his heels into the ground.

"The hell is that? You think I could fall for somebody like that? Look at his shitty hair! He looks like an idiot!"

Midoriya stares at him, the excitement slowly draining from his face until he is crestfallen. Oh well. Looks like stupid Deku is going to have to take the time to find him someone else. Shame.

Before either of them can say anymore, Bakugou's face crumples in pain, and he falls to his knees. He hadn't wanted to tell the angel about his pain, but it was getting worse as time went on. He was pretty damn good at ignoring it, but it floods his chest right then, along with a bunch of regrets he'd been holding back for longer than he could remember.

Midoriya follows him down, panicking now. How could he have not noticed! Of course Bakugou would have been in pain this whole time. Humans can't handle long exposure to magic like that, and this arrow had been pumping him full of it for a month now! How he had lasted this long was a miracle already, but he'd never complained, so Midoriya never realized...

"Kacchan, Kacchan please-" where had that name come from? "Please, tell me, just tell me someone-" he looks around at the people in the park, some looking curiously at the man crouching, but Bakugou grips his wrist and holds his gaze.

"Dumbass..." He croaks out. "I don't want anybody else." Then he falls onto his back and the crowd around them gasps. There's screams and calls for an ambulance, but Midoriya is too shocked to notice the commotion. Anybody else...

There are tears in his eyes that he doesn't even feel as he straddles Bakugou. Nobody can see him, or the arrow sticking out of the fallen man's chest. So they can't see it when Midoriya, with his determined gaze, places his hands around the end of the shaft, looking down into Bakugou's eyes, so open and revealing, and he pushes down.

The sound Bakugou makes hurts his own heart, but he doesn't stop. He pushes the arrow through him, slowly, steadily, watching Bakugou gasp and cry, and then reach up and hold his hands and guide them in while he looks directly at Midoriya.

It was his own fault this was painful. If he'd just shot straight, it would've gone clean through. But perhaps there was a part of him that hadn't wanted that shot to work out. A part that had betrayed his trained accuracy. As he holds Bakugou's pained gaze, he takes full responsibility for it, pushing the arrow through and soaking in every wince and tear. He embraces his own selfishness; he wants this heart for his own.

When it's through, they both gasp. The arrow disappeared. And Bakugou... Well, aside from the deep, heaving breaths, and the tears he's blinking away, he looks just like normal. When he sits up, that's when Midoriya notices the crowd around them. And for some reason, they seem to be staring at him.

"Idiot." He looks at the sound of Bakugou's voice and sees him smirking at him. "They can see you now, Izuku."

Midoriya never told him that name. Midoriya hadn't known it himself. But the second Bakugou gives it to him, he feels it fit like a glove. The people around them murmur, saying, "He saved him, thank god..."

Midoriya doesn't know what they saw, or what they think they saw, but he knows what they're about to see. He dives forward and kisses the man beneath him still, and Bakugou holds the back of his neck as he lets him.

He never regains the memories from his childhood - those were swept away by the river. But his heart could never forget. He always wondered if that arrow ever actually worked - nothing feels any different between them. Kacchan loves him just the same.

Though, there is one thing that changes. He's human now (again) his powers stripped from him for falling in love with an assignment. Maybe it's for the best. He was never really good at this cupid business anyway.

saw your tags and yes!!!! Dragons!!!!! If you do write more dragon stories I will love them!!!!!!

YESSS!!! DRAGONS!!!!

I’ve loved all the dragon stories I’ve written so far, they’re so much fun. And I definitely plan to write many more dragon stories in the future hehe. I may even post one later tonight! I’m glad you’ll love them, I will too!!

Dragons are so much fun in any way or scenario. Both if you go the more ancient route or even the more modern route. There’s so many possibilities and different personalities you can give them

Like, I feel a DILF Dragon would be sooo hot and so much fun. Or I was also looking through the dragon tags and I saw one for Dragon Priest and Dragon Maid! How fucking hot would either of those be.

I need two friends who make a bet with each other that the loser be the others servant for a whole three months. And of course your Dragon Best Friend I the one who ends up losing. You get him a cute little maid outfit just to be funny. But you stop laughing very quickly when you see how little it covers and just how sexy he looks in it. His massive bulge nearly spilling out posts the hem of the dress.

It’ll be a loooong three months for you both. Maybe even longer than his di—

Something Extraordinary

historical platonic-romcom

an aromantic woman tired of feeling unworthy when the people closest to her leave her behind for romance, and a gay man in unrequited love who is planning on giving up and marrying a woman in misery and drunkenness

she kidnaps him the day before the marriage to stop him ruining his life, suggesting that they get platonically married instead - and on the ridiculous journey to scotland to elope, they have to convince each other if it’s what is best for them, and what they want out of life/love/and friendship

Uh oh, I'm falling in love Oh no, I'm falling in love again Oh, I'm falling in love

[youkaiyume]

I do find it kind of strange as like a shipper of a ship that is not likely to happen nor popular in fanon, to know that Moana 2 underwhelmed me in every way except for the Moana/Maui shipping content itself-- which kept handing it to me in spades, kinda messes me up. This was one aspect of the movie that I truly did not expect at all I'm still kind of reeling from it. I literally can't hate the film just for the ship content it gave me alone.
