Only Gwen is on the right track 😔✨

The fact that Kim Dokja's friends canonical imprison and kidnap him to keep him out of danger is so funny to me. Can you imagine being an outsider looking in? Imagine meeting the most Just Some Guy you've ever met your life, but he's nice enough, so you start talking for a while, and then he drops a casual "Yeah the last time my friends kidnapped me, they took me out into the woods." Like what. "Oh yeah, they grabbed me while I was sleeping and actually had to knock me out again, but I mean I get it. They think I'm a danger myself and their mental health." ????? Like hey buddy I think you might be in a toxic relationship with your friends. This seems unhealthy, and it's not reasonable for this to be their first response to you being a little reckless. But then you know him for more than a week and by the you're like, you know what. Actually maybe they're right. What's not reasonable is how often you try to die to solve your problems, and them asking you stop clearly isn't working

Taken from @kuroko99 <3

Rules: Pick any ten of your fics, scroll roughly to the midpoint, pick a line (or three), and share it. Then tag ten people.

A Thousand Lifetimes Away - [Lout of the Count's Family; Pygmalion & Galatea AU ]

It's a measure of an artist’s devotion to a dream, to an ambition. It's a sort of love letter, written to a craft. Rok Soo uncovers his masterpiece from the blank slate of a marble block and it comes to life beneath his fingertips. He reveals the curves of a smile, bright and joyous, the bend of an arm, strong with lean muscle. He uncovers the form of a dancer this time, alive even while frozen mid-step. There is power in their stance and a mesmerizing confidence in their expression.

2. Together we start (alone as we are) - [Lout of the Count's Family; Theseus and the Minotaur rewrite of sorts]

For Cale, forgiveness is a battle. A desperate inhale of air to his lungs. It's a struggle, difficult like the maze had been. He chases it like he had once desperately followed the delicate threads of string towards a path leading out of looming walls and perpetual darkness.  Forgiveness is the blood thrumming inside his veins and the desperate plea for survival.

3. Starfire souls and their supernova counterparts - [Eleceed; character study of Jiwoo and Kayden]

Jiwoo is the aftermath of a dying star, something murky, flickering, and barely holding on. He’s been holding on for years now, since that day when he had sat on the floor of the play area, panting and confused, and his friends, and classmates had called him a monster. 

4. slowly, slowly, our branches intertwine. - [Weak Hero; Suho x Sieun]

Sieun was a spot of unfazed calm, he just looked up at Sooho and had just bluntly reprimanded him for fighting in the class. Somewhere within those eyes, Sooho had not been seen as a threat, had not been deemed dangerous. It was addicting, being under that gaze, being examined by Sieun, being looked at like he was allowed to bring Sieun back to the present, back from the middle-distance-singularity onto which Sieun’s focus usually hovered. That feeling of cool silk poured off his form, a tangible gaze that studied him and then concluded. What was it that Sieun had seen in that moment? Did he hate it? Did he like it?

5. Give it back! - [See You, My King]

A pained mix of a yell and a sob caught in his throat, grief pouring over him like a waterfall. Within minutes of watching the statue crumble to dust; ending up here in the past and then passing out after being taken away with a stab wound- He had never really processed it all. Now, with the knowledge that his statue existed in the form of a tyrant who did not know him and had nearly killed him. The knowledge that he was trapped in the past and had no real way home. He couldn’t stop the tears from overflowing, his struggling limbs fell limp like a puppet with its strings cut.  “Please, give him back” he sobbed, muffled against the ground.

6. reverence - [Psycho Revenge; Seongbin x Sejin; NSFW]

Seongbin shivered under the weight of that gaze, of the solemn vow and the intimacy of this moment. It was something beyond their bare skin or their proximity, something beyond the fact that Seongbin had willingly given up part of his mobility or that he had even allowed someone into his home. It was the certainty in Sejin’s eyes and the constancy of that promise. It was the fact that it was just them, no masks, no screens between them, just the scared, lonely kids they were deep down inside. The vow of someone promising to stay in the one way his family no longer could, long gone and merely memories lost to time. It was the fragile petals of hopeful irises and tentative affectionate zinnias blooming in his chest, their satin petals brushing against his lungs with every breath.

7. under the cover of your light - [Lout of the Count's Family; AlCale as Patrochillies] WIP

“My mother called me Roksu,” he says one day, voice hoarse from disuse. “She told me that it meant to always grow green, even in winter” Achilles is quiet for a long moment before he speaks. “Sometimes, my mother calls me Alberu” he offers, an unspoken olive branch. “It means power, I think.” and it’s an olive branch returned, it’s a start. 

8. I don't want the sun to burn without you - [Lout of the Count's Family; Ancient Greek AU]

He will never understand the unmaking, the sacrifice it truly is to be mortal and yet love a god. He can't because he is not mortal. He is divine and that means he will never understand the satisfaction of a lifespan, the breadth of one's tree rings, and the records of your memory. He can't see the value of the fleeting because he has never been so. 

9. I'm sorry that you have to have a body - [Lout of the Count's Family; Trans!Cale]

Calypso had taken a kitchen knife to her locks and somehow managed to saw off a good fifth of it. It was jagged and uneven, loose strands curling at varying lengths and sticking to her damp skin as she fought against the hands holding her down. “LET ME GO” she screamed, the tendons of her neck visibly jumping as she yanked on her wrists. Calypso’s hands are tight around the handle of a knife even as her wrists are captured by her maids and they attempt to make her let go of the blade.  “Calypso!” Deruth yelled, fear and anger condensing into a nauseating stone in his stomach.  She stops, and their eyes meet. In a startlingly horrible moment of clarity, he realizes that he doesn't know how to talk to her anymore.

10. Yours, Love or Sacrifice - [Lout of the Count's Family; Gladiator AU]

Sometimes, when she thought he wasn't looking, Mother’s eyes had gone dull and unseeing, the smile she always gave Roksu faded, and she looked like a corpse relearning to move. It had terrified him at the time and left him with nightmares of the day she never woke again. Now, he can think back to those moments and understand. Because Mother had never wanted a child, had never wanted to live as she did. She was a slave just as Roksu was now, and he had been her shackle. Roksu was a curse from the moment he was conceived because he was never meant to happen. Roksu does not know who his father is; perhaps, his mother didn't either. 

Goddamn that took a while to compile, lets not talk about how I consistently have excerpts longer than 3 sentences..... I'm going to be honest Idk if I know 10 writers on tumblr... soooo if you see this then you have been tagged?

what were you thinking?

[moonmoonpat]

YHK is the gayest thing ever, you cannot prove otherwise.

DokSoo? Yaoiest yaoi, tastes like lemon candy and overcomplicated revenge plots from a reincarnated revenge story, there's a guyboss and a guyfailure there but you can't tell which one is which, it's like Schrödinger's guy, and by the time you open that box there's just a letter that says "enjoy the vanilla essence" with way too many bottles of vanilla essence (you think that one of them night be poisoned, but you can't be too sure).

JoongDok? That's yuri, do i even have to explain myself?

YooHan is straight for some reason, i mean, with a providing girlboss and a cooking prodigy malewife, there's just too much gender for it to be feasibly bent.
